title: Brain/health benefits of the meditation of monks

text:
I rarely write a review but thought this product important enough.  I purchased this cd from a referrel from dr. mercola.com website, which is a wonderful resource of natural information.  He has been on dr oz and researches extensively, and has a very good reputation, so upon reading about the insight cd from his website, i decided to purchase it from his website.  The back of the cd package says it can help you reduce stress, increase energy and vitality, and improve your mental and emotional well being.
*significantly reduce stress and anxiety
*improve sleep and eliminate insomnia
*reach deep states of relaxation and meditation
*achieve permanent improvements in health and well being
*increase energy and vitality
*take your motivation and creativity to new levels
It is brain wave technology within the sound of natural rain, so all your conscious mind hears is the rainfall (the sound is fine for me) while the sub-conscious would hear and use the brain wave technology.  It has been proven that monks have the highest brain wave patterns of alpha, beta, delta, and so on due to their "years" of mediatation.  Most of us don't meditatate on a regular basis as the monks do.  Also, there are "many" proven health benefits to meditation.  The insight cd, although some complain about the price, takes years of research to put this together, where a regular music cd does not, therefore it will cost more, but you will have it for your lifetime, especially if you protect your original cd by downloading into something like itunes.  My experience has been great, in a very short time.  I have suffered for years with insomnia just getting worse and worse, and would seem to do all my thinking when it's time for bed, more recently i felt like i would only stay on the surface when trying to sleep, i could not drop to the deeper levels, until i was completely exhausted, early in the morning, therefore not getting enough sleep, or a good deep healing sleep.  And last year i was diagnosed with breast cancer, having had a double mascetomy.  Although i had the surgery i didn't have the regular chemo treatment, opting for a more natural-type-chemo so to say.  I am doing great now but still feel the "shock" from all of this, so a little down, lost my happy feeling, and felt a little dizzy and tired along with insomnia.  So I thought this cd sounded perfect for me.  I needed it all :)  I have been listening for about 2 weeks, track 1 (tells you to stay on track 1 for 7-10 days) and barely started track 2.  I am feeling a lot better already.  The dizziness is gone, funny i had been taking natural sinus pills since i have almost a daily problem and i haven't had to take any? hmmmm.  and I'm feeling happier!  I cant explain it but my head just feels better.  And the sleep, getting soooo much better, I can actually "fall" asleep now, not immediately but so much sooner than before and i know with continued listening over a period of time, it will continue to get better.  I don't have that constant thinking about stuff keeping me awake for "hours."  Everyone is different!  some are more positive people than others.  So I think you want to do "exactly" what the insert explains that comes with the cd, and give it time, keeping a positive outlook, even saying to yourself...all is better, all is well in my world.  I think a negative person will not find this or anything useful!  We all know the many studies done on negative thinking.  If they dont want it to work...it won't (i.e., the use of placebo's, etc) And negative people need to work on that aspect first, then using something like this will be more helpful.  This is a shortened form of meditation, meditation has been proven to work...therfore this will work!  If you really do want help, your open minded, then this may be something for you.  I am so glad i found this.  And will refer it to others.  I look forward to my continued growth with this cd as i am excited to have access to the brain/health benefits of the meditation of monks.

text: A very good CD.  I have this LP album from many years ago.  The CD is even better!


title: Best new album in a long time

text: I've collected good music for fifty years and Freshlyground's is among my favorites. VERY uplifting. They have a great vibe and a variety of styles from playful to serious, reflective to dance-your-ass-off. I've sent copies of this current album to my fellow music loving friends. I consider this a must-have! Two previous ones that are great too are: Ma Cheri and Nomvula. Check their vids on Youtube. You'll be smiling and feel like dancing!


title: Great Christian music!

text: Great Christian music!


title: Buy this!

text: Young kids learn Scripture so quickly through music!


title: EAGLES, All You Need to Know!!

text: Hard to go by my evaluation; I love ALL of their music. This CD does have the actual concert feel, which it should. If you're a fan, buy it!


title: This thing is still around ?!!???

text: I got this album as a gag gift at my college radio station christmas party in 1992.  We listened to it and had a good laugh.  One of the worst albums I've ever heard.  I give it two stars because the songs are fairly comical. The Big Johnson was hilarious. The way he songs it had to be a deliberate joke.


title: Very good album, excellent condition.

text: Beautiful music. Expensive but worth it.


title: Excellent album in excellent condition

text: Beautiful music


This is NOT a Paperback Book as is listed... It is a Vinyl LP! ... and by the way Kathi McDonald was a great singer and did actually replace Janis Joplin in Big Brother & The Holding Company after Janis left!

text: Early selected recordings by the pre-Little River Band bands Axiom & Mississippi.


title: Recomended from a DJ

text: Really nice music remixes.  I'm a DJ and I play the remixes from this CD in all of my gigs.  Don't wait, order it, you'll enjoy it.

title: The Wave, special note

text:
Ok, I've had this album for a while. Was not my first Balaam album. I simply added it to my random play catalog.
Today, The Wave, randomly played. I thought maybe my music database got corrupted. Cuz I swear I thought I was hearing...
Rush
More Bang For The Buck
Roll The Bones.

So,
I pulled up The Wave on YouTube
And confirmed this song is in fact
Balaam and the Angel
The Wave


title: NOT what I THOUGHT IT WAS!!!! Just 4 tracks for $19.95???

text: I thought it was a DVD video with the tracks. I asked for a return for the CD the particular song (That's Why I Pray) is on.

text: luv it!

text: Good


title: Beach Boys Sound

text: This group has the sound of the Beach Boys in the mid '60's. Great summer music!


title: kind of a dead end

text: i saw this for free on hulu. it was not the worst i've ever seen but i did not make it through the whole movie. some may find some merit. at least the girl making the documentary was kind of cute. i am glad i did not spend any money on this. it is definitely a low budget attempt.<br />at least the people in the movie have not piled up a bunch of bs reviews to fool you into buying this one. at least not yet.


title: Disappointing

text: Love the ISH groups and a lot of his music but this compilation is very disappointing. Remakes on some tracks (not original). Don't know why this CD set is so expensive, if you can listen to it before buying I highly suggest you do so.


title: Only worth it cause ELVIRA is on the cover

text: This CD is only worth purchasing because, "ELVIRA Mistress Of The Dark", is on the CD cover,inner CD fold out cover, inner inlay and CD itself (her beautiful eyes). No intros, no outros, no songs by Elvira unlike her other CDs. The music is not METAL in the TRUE sense. The music reminds me of a bad vampire movie,........IT SUCKS. I'm an Elvira compleatist and i had to have this for my collection. Worth it for an Elvira fan such as I,.. but,.. to others, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!! 2 Bloody Thumbs Down for the music, but A+ for the Elvira images.

title: Classic Giorgio

text:
Giorgio's rendition of Battlestar Galactica was released on Casablanca Records in 1978. The entire title of the 12" Lp Record is "Music From Battlestar Galactica & Other Compositions From Georgio Moroder". Harold Faltermeyer also co-produced this album, Moroder's Battlstar Galactica is the best rendition i've heard to date. I purchased this 12" record album at our local K-Mart (3.99) when it was first released in 1978. I played Battlestar over & over & over. It was an important part of my childhood because Battlestar Galactica was my favorite Sci-Fi show at the time & i loved DISCO. I still obtain this classic 12" LP because of fond memories, i will never part with it. I was very surprised & excited to see it had finally been released on CD in Russia. It took me forever to find this CD & i paid a fortune for it, the cover/back artwork is beautiful and the female always reminded me of LYNDA CARTER (WONDER WOMAN), check out the pics i downloaded on Amazon. You can have the same quality & versions if you buy these 2 CDs. "MOVIE THEMES GO DISCO" it has the ENTIRE NON STOP side A Battlestar Galactica (medley) 16:20 & is CD quality, NOT VINYL RIPPED, re-mastered & sounds fantastic, high out-put!!! The other Giorgio Moroder CD is entitled "E=MC2" which has the song "EVOLUTION" (make sure you get the CD with the BONUS TRACKS). The song EVOLUTION was (side B) of Giorgio's Battlstar Galactica album and is 15:13 long, EXACT versions & lengths as the original 12" LP Record. So if you can not afford the Russian CD version this is your best option to own these 2 great songs for under 15 bucks. Also check out updated versions of EVOLUTION on Amazon's MP3 store, nice versions. There are to my knowledge these versions of EVOLUTION 1.Album version 15:13, 2.Edit version 4:29, 3."Remix" 14:00 (promotional version on RATED X Records), 4.Roger Sanchez Extra Terrestrial Mix 7:31........Track Listing is as follows on the 12" LP record & is the same as CD versions.

Side A: Theme From Battlestar Galactica/Destruction Of Peace/Transmiter Part 1/Adama's Theme/It's Love, Love, Love/Transmitter Part 2/Exploration/Theme From Battlestar Galactica 16:20 (length) NON STOP/MIXED

Side B: EVOLUTION 15:13 (length)

Enjoy these classics as i have, if you like MECO's Star Wars then you'll love Giorgio's Battlestar Galactica!! Schroeder (DJ WACK "O") of Cult Movies Magazine & TV


title: NO INFO GIVEN, WHY?

text: How the heck does this CD expect to sell for almost 200.00 dollars and with out a track listing? At least put a track listing for someone who might pop 200.00 bucks for this CD. The sellers would do themselves a big favor by listing tracks in a review for potential buyers. I'm interested but lack knowledge of this item due to its inferior listing. Schroeder (DJ WACK "O") of Cult Movies Magazine & Orbital Traxx Records.


title: Surprising Talent

text:
The music on this CD is excellent. Kerry's voice is unique and his style strong and original.

Loved hearing music to praise our great El by this talented artist.


title: timely delivery--great product

text: timely delivery - great product!


title: not really unusual

text: like many bonzo dog band moments. lovely but a tad flat, tightly clocked with no loose ends or rough edges and yet flooded with a wholly english charm. could never really tell if the bonzo's expressed love or ridicule with their often immaculate covers of them there swing era tunes. maybe both at once?


title: NOW WITH MORE PERSISTENT TYPOS!

text:
"Island", "Lark's Tongue In Aspic". "In The Court Of The Crimson King." "In The Wake Of Poseidon."

With a clear aversion to the plural form and all the while displaying a penchant For the capitalization Of prepositions, William "Of Singular" Hogeland provides the most aimless and uninformed liner notes since Somebody Somewhere came up with "Hatfield of the North" and had the nerve to let it reach print -- a now tired olde forme of KommunicKation that at least offers an audience (ye fellowes in readership) the Permanent Hilarity of Overlooked Errors. In short, the liner notes are flat out dumb stuff, unbefitting of their subject. But importantly, the performance is present, though of the past and often quite tense.

The presentation is close to one of those times one might imagine being capable of egging Fripp on to declare that Music had in fact entered the room. There are a few rare moments: the naked sounding "Stick Duet" and an atypical "Intro". And, overall,  we have here another document of the too scarce "double trio" alignment. How the rest differs from the many performances documented among the many volumes of "The Collectors' King Crimson" I will need more time and concentration to sort out, but I have no regrets in purchasing this "Immortal" release. Still, as a general observation, I do tend to think that the Belew iterations of King Crimson do best on stage when pre-Belew material is not part of the set. But by this date (1995) the stylistic matters were settling and, some 15 years on, it is no longer so jarring to hear "The Talking Drum" set in proximity to the Streisand-inspired abomination that is "People" ("mainspring", not "the luckiest").

The sound quality tends to match up with the craft of the musicians, though the mix seems entirely off the board. While there's never the splintering, nearly collapsing edginess of a "Peoria" or "Asbury Park", there is some very present compulsion, some thing that makes the live work a more than suitable companion to the studio work, each reflecting the other, no matter which might first impel these artists.


title: Tony at his best!

text: My husband want Tony Bennett’s older songs and they were all there!


title: on his wonderful radio show

text: This is a really magnificent reading of the Concerto for Orchestra!!!  Karl Haas, on his wonderful radio show, used it as an example and commented how much he loved this performance.  I have to say I was hooked.  Now that Maestro Maazel has gone to his reward, I DO hope DG will re- release this recording.  It is a gem.  The playing and recording are stellar.  It was recorded about 1967 if memory serves.


title: Not so hot...

text: I bought this because I was just blown away with the epic-80s sound of Empire of the Sun (these are the same guys; they've also worked with Ladyhawk in the past too, not bad).  That said, this single was a huge disappointment.  I look forward to their next Empire of the Sun-branded effort.


title: Keeping Pacific Northwest hip hop alive

text: These guys are one of the Northwest's best kept secrets, but it's a damn shame that more people don't know their music. Do yourself a favor and pick this up. You can't go wrong with hip hop and brass.


title: BJ Crosby is as extraordinary on record as she has been live!

text: Extraordinary woman! Great interpretations of songs by two of my favorite singers (Betty Carter and Chaka Khan). Rest in peace Lady BJ.


title: Great CDs

text: There are songs on here that have not been released on any of their albums.


title: Raw Insurrection!  You won't believe it, but this blows away Live Insurrection

text: It takes big massive balls to make that claim, but in all honesty, it's the truth.  This double live cd smokes that double disc Resurrection tour diary out of the water!  On Live Insurrection, it has to be one of the best live releases of the 21st century when released.  As awesome as it is, it is heavily doctored up, with soundcheck performances intertwinded with stage performances, vocal and guitar overdubs throughout.  This new live double disc release, Live in London, is just as intense as Live Insurrection, yet it is honest to goodness RAW!  The sound quality is top notch, the mix is superb, and the overdubs were left out!  If Live Insurrection made the case that it sounds too good to be live, Live in London proves that live nevered sounded this good.  Amazing release, and to my ears, the best representation of Halford live.


title: The Last and Best Southern Rock album from the Golden Era!

text: To me Southern Rock didn't die with tragic Skynyrd plane crash in 1977, it was just in it's prime.  Jimmy Carter was President of the USA from 1976 - 1980 and the good old boy from the South everyone loved, likened to country and southern rock.  By 1979 Southern Rock peaked with .38 Special, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, ARS all being successful.  Lynyrd Skynrd were vying a comeback somehow, and the Allmans just got back together.  At the dawn of the 80's, new crops were coming up...Doc Holliday and Van Zant were carrying the Southern Rock torch...the remaining members of Skynyrd regroup wisely in the female fronted band Rossington-Collins Band.  After 2 albums of some commercial success the group splintered and by 1982 was done.  So were the Allmans again, Blackfoot was near done, Artimus Pyle Band was over, Molly Hatchet was starting to turnover band members like no tomorrow, and .38 Special smartly new souther rock was dying, shifted towards more AOR/Commercial rock.  By 1983 the remaining members of the RCB sans (Mr. and Mrs.) Rossington regrouped again, to form the Allen Collins Band.  Filling in for Gary was Randall Hall and Jim Dougherty of Alias fame was on lead vocals.  Actually the band Alias released one album in 1979 titled Contraband, and features many Skynyrd members performing on the album for the first time back since the tragic plane crash.  The Allen Collins Band was actually going through alot of turmoil and trouble with Allen having lost his wife some time before and drug use was rampant in the band.  However, the band, to me put out, in my opinion, the LAST greatest Southern Rock album of all time.  This album is an unknown treasure, full of guitar solos, and some of Allen Collins best guitar work since the Skynyrd days.  His solo in Chapter One is all the proof you need.  Barry Harwood shines on This Rides On Me.  Just Trouble and One Known Soldier both cook. Get this album, it is actually a miracle, given the band circumstances at the time, that it was ever made.  Sadly most everyone playing on this, to date, has passed.  RIP Allen Collins, Jimmy Dougherty, Billy Powell, and Leon Wilkeson.  This is a fabulous album, and to me shines brightly.  Enjoy.

title: Anybody know the relese date?

text: There's no release date, track listing, artists, nothing?


title: Not all CDs performed by artists mentioned

text: Only 2 of the 4 CDs in this set are performed by Armenian Philharmonic with Loris Tjeknavorian as conductor. Other works (including all the symphonies in this set) are performed by London Symphony & Philharmonia Orchestra with Yondani Butt as conductor. This was disappointing since I specifically ordered this version to hear Loris Tjeknavorian and Armenian Philharmonic.


title: Covered personality types, but very focused

text: Although this series of CD's went through personality types, it really did not say anything that had not been covered in many other of my readings and many of the classes I have attended.


title: Love her easy renditions of today's hits.

text:
I really liked that I got both her albums in one purchase.  While her voice is young and she is still developing, her relaxing renditions of today's current hits are a pleasure to listen to directly or as background music for a party.  I've had numerous inquiries as to who was singing.  You can check her out on YouTube.

My only complaint is that these songs are not available in higher quality than CD. Voice tracks accompanied with a piano really lend themselves to 24bit recordings so hopefully in the future we will get more.

text: Most of the tracks are cool, some not so much for my tastes but most of my preferences are 70s and 80s.


This is a great New Age/Contemporary Piano recording by Helen Jane Long.  Hard to find on CD it seems, but worth having if you can score a copy.


When the box set finally arrived after getting lost in the U.S. Mail, even though it was sealed and Brand New, it was missing a disk from the set.  Ended up sending it back.  Has a lot of good songs in the collection, but to much of a hassle to get in the first place with all the CD's in tact.  Never got to listen to it.

title: Bon Jovi singing a la Dio playing with Scorpions and Deep Purple... Got it?

text: If you like " hair metal" (I do not like that term, but it captures the topic), this band is for you. It is the same formula every time. Even if it is the first time that you hear this band, you know where the song will go and sing it along! But for what it is, is fine. Do not expect anything more. Great singer, just too much like Dio's\ Scorpions melodic lines with Bon Jovi's voice, and Deep Purple playing... Well, once you get used or accept it ,you will like. For me... I bought like 7 of his albums.... Plus 5 of the ballads compilations... (Yes, I love  80's sound in 'new' songs.)

title: Yuming 101 For Novice Fans

text:
Although largely unknown in the West, Yumi Matsutoya- or Yuming as she's nicknamed (& which I will be using for the rest of this review) is a major icon in Japanese music for the past 45+ years as a singer/songwriter & pianist- & is an unsung founding mother of "city pop" (a number of "city pop" artists like Taeko Ohnuki & Tatsuro Yamashita were background singers in her early works) which has gathered an international fan base over the past few years.

As this review is geared towards the non-Japanese speaking audience, I must stress that this is NOT a greatest hits collection. (the 40th Anniversary 3-disc collection is for you if you want that.) Rather this is a collection of 45 songs (including 5 from her early recordings in which she recorded under her maiden name Yumi Arai) over 3 discs. Each song is handpicked by Yuming herself as an introduction to her music- with each disc being based on a concept.

Disc 1 is called "Pure Eyes" & is mostly soft rock & ballads from the 1970s & 1980s. Disc 2 is called "Urban Cowgirl" which should be called "City Pop Cowgirl" instead as most of the songs on it are from the "City Pop" era. The final disc, called "Mystic Journey" is musically the most diverse covering ballads, city pop, hip hop, j-pop & even Latin music. It's hard to create a highlight list as there's lots of great songs here! So the highlight has to be Yuming herself- she has one of the noticeable voices in Japanese music- it's hard not to fall in love with her singing style (& the fact that her voice evolves through the decades). There's a reason she's been called the Carly Simon of her home country.

Despite not being a greatest hits set, this is the best collection to get if you'll new to Yuming's music- esp for Westerners. Be forewarned- you'll be very tempted to chase down her other works as no one collection can fully showcase her music. & she's still making new music to this day! It'll be interesting to see if her record label plans a box set for her 50th anniversary in music.

Besides the 3 CDs, you'll get a Blu-Ray disc (which is playable on most North American Blu Ray players) of highlights from Yuming's concert performances over the past 25 years with her providing commentary about each performance (sadly no English subtitles) & a 100+ page booklet with the lyrics to the songs featured in the collection. Despite the lyrics & liner notes being in Japanese, it's a very colorful booklet & is a very nice addition to this set.

text: everything what I expected


title: just started

text: I was looking for at hom CDs to help me relax and help me through my issues. I decided to try this set. Even though i just started them i am looking into purchasing others in this group.


title: Audioslave

text: Great album


title: Awesome jazz praise!

text: I heard one cut on a Christian radio station, found out who it was, and the only place I found it was here on Amazon. The price was ridiculously low, and when I got it, I almost wore it out the first month. It sounds like one artist, doing several parts of one worship song to the Lord, but it's several artists, put together (incredible job on the sound board!) so seamlessly, there is hardly a break between each cut. And the music is just what I like: quiet, background-soft, smooth jazz, some of which are renditions of worship songs I know. It's what I call "praying music"; it sets the mood, and gives God the glory, instead of demanding it for itself.


title: Just one song "Shake It Off"

text:
This CD contains a single track "Shake It Off". The track length is 3 minutes 39 seconds.

It does not contain four versions of the song ,it only contains one version, 1 track of the song.

It comes in a cardboard sleeve with ceramic magazine like exterior.


title: it came in good condition.

text: I like  all the songs on this cd.


title: it came in good listing condition.

text: I like listing to these songs  because you don't here them on the radio anymore.

text: Like this, thanks.


title: Amazing!!!

text: Great seller! The CD came heavily packaged, so no injuries! No scratches, nothing! I'd buy from this seller again!


title: The Best of Two Masters

text: This CD is a new treasure for my family and me.  Listening to these two entertainment giants and their collaborative renditions of these songs is nothing short of nirvana!


title: A Gem of 60s Themes

text: I've always been a big fan of Al Hirt. and his music.  I'm also a child of 60s TV, so when Mr. Hirt came out with this album, it was a must for my vinyl collection.  It did not disappoint.  In fact, in an homage to Al Hirt and his treatment of the Green Hornet Theme (contained in this album), Quentin Tarantino included it in his Kill Bill film soundtrack.  I must say, it remains a favorite cut of mine as well.  Also on the album at great treatments of (at that time) other TV theme songs, among them, Batman, and Get Smart.  Another fav of mine on that disc is 'T.H.E. CAT' from a short-lived show starring Robert Loggia as a retired master thief, Thomas Hewitt Edward Cat, brought in by clients and insurance companies to solve the unsolvable and protect their priceless belongings that are the target of thieves and villains.  If your a fan of both Al Hirt and 60s TV, as I am, this is a gem worth adding to your collection.


title: Great music to listen to or as background

text: Very serious work of art here.  Nothing overly complicated but very worshipful, creative and unique. No sweet sappy stories like so much Christian music has devolved into, sounding more like God is your friend rather than Creator. Songs from Scriptue, put to beautiful music should be a recipe for success for a long time.

text: Unfortunately, the sound quality is very poor. I could barely make out what was being said. :(


title: What is this collection?

I love the music of Roy Byrd (aka Professor Longhair) but this listing has no titles or other information. Have the songs been released before? If so, I probably have them.

I went to the website of the company that produced this (Max Cat Records) and there's no reference at all to 'Fess or his music.

Puzzling. But I'm not spending $11 to find out what this is.

title: Review of Jim Reeves Rare and Unreleased

text:
This is the second Jim Reeves compilation I have bought from Amazon by this producer, and to be fair this one is a little hard for me to review because I am a long time fan of Jim Reeves, and I have his original recordings as released by the studio. According to the liner notes, this compilation is from sources other than RCA, and are practice and demonstration copies mainly, and never meant to be released publicly. With that in mind I can listen to these recordings and appreciate the less than perfect performances. I can understand that many of these were probably done as practice while trying to work out how they should be recorded for release.

This producer has undoubtedly gone to great lengths, and I would imagine considerable expense to add additional back up instrumentation to these recordings. While the added accompaniment does enhance many of the cuts, it is my opinion that it does not bring them up to the quality level of the RCA recordings, and I would like it just as well or better without it. I do not say this as a slam against the added musicians, for the most part they are very good. I just do not believe that the majority of these recordings of Mr. Reeves' vocals are up to the standards he, (Jim Reeves, or Chet Atkins) would have released.

For a die hard fan of Jim Reeves like me this is a enjoyable recording, it's just not ready for prime time. I do appreciate being able to buy this cd, and I hope the producer recovers his costs and can make a profit too.


title: God's Music

text: That 3rd movement just hits like a hammer to the heart; but instead of shattering, your heart melts and deflates into nothing. And then the final movement--after rumors and whispers of goodness returning again like the first hints of dawn on a winter's morning--finally breaks through into the glorious sunshine of joyful music, just in time before the narrator's death.

title: Smooth Focus

text:
I received this CD almost 20 years ago as part of a Valentine's floral arrangement.  I listened to it mostly at work, and over time I realized that if I was struggling to figure something out (I was mostly coding at the time), listening to this CD would soon have me working through the issue with ease.  It's become my go-to whenever I need to focus or figure something out at work.

That relationship has long since ended, but this CD lives on in my heart.

title: JMteacher

text: I have number 492. If someone makes me a good enough offer, I may just post it here. Bear in mind I paid $500 for it years ago when NIN CDs didn't sell for anywhere near the price they sell for now, so it would have to be a STEEP offer. But I may just sell it. I can send pics. as well if you give me your email, only after you make a serious offer -- so I'm not sending pix to everyone and their mother. It is in near mint condition, maybe 1 or 2 very light marks that don't affect the play at all. The case and the numbered sticker is in excellent shape...especially since its been around since 1989. But I'm not sure I could part with it, lol. This CD is definitely necessary to ANY NIN completionist(sp?) if you are like me and have at least 1 import for each halo, this is the ONLY one. I think there was 500 ever made, as you can see as the person above refers to it as the "Holly Grail of NIN CDs." Anyway, my email is jamesim82@yahoo.com


title: What they said

text: If you have read the other reviews then you know it all. Really good sound engineering and corny jokes, too. They are great musicians, vocalists and showman. I first saw them at the Flying W Ranch Chuck Wagon Meal. I was not expecting  them to be anywhere near as good as they were. I bought this CD after the show and they all signed it. If you like Western/Cowboy music, I highly recommend it.

I discovered Theocracy a few months ago, a little before the release of their second album, "Mirror of Souls", which I completely fell in love with... I had mixed thoughts about getting the first album - I had heard it was really different, and I didn't want to break the spell Theocracy had somehow managed to cast on me... What a surprise when I listened to this album! It is indeed really different from the second one, but so AWESOME! This is a must-buy for every fan of MoS, and any power metal fan!

God bless Theocracy!

text: Cats is delightful fun. I especially like the American version for its inclusion of "Growltigger's Last Stand." The singing is marvelous. Introducing the story with the memories of Gus, the theater cat, is very sweet. It is my favorite part of the musical. Deep Cats is not. Neither is it profound. Entertaining? Absolutely! T.S. Eliot obviously loved cats and understood their ways. Andrew Lloyd Webber has done justice to Eliot's poems. Love it!

Poster is very nice, but has a small stain the size of a penny on the white backside, but it can't be seen from the front. I got JB's photo card, and all the other member's picture cards came included from the "Girls Girls Girls" era, plus a group photo card. Very cute. I am super impressed with the quality, and would definitely buy from this seller again. 5 stars!

This was a band that we went to see pretty much every show around Seattle in '92, They were a great show and sooo talented. I still love this album, So Sad, See no Evil, Manta Rays, and especially Heaven bring it all back. The Rock Candy, The Vouge, The Off Ramp, A GREAT BAND, a great time.

text:
Vj went thru many court battles & lost there rights to handle or produce anymore Beatles records in the early 60's since they were not paying the Artists  their Royalties, due to some Personnel problems. I won't discuss now!

 Anyway they did produce a few 45's Blue Labels & these  were promo's not for sale for DJ"s "Record Stores" ect & they are very rare & will fetch big $$$ along w/any Lp in good shape from Vj. Husband & wife owners! .

This 2 songs were not on top of the charts in the 60's as there were much bigger hits from the Beatles at that time. However in my opinion these are catchy & great songs even by todays standards. You can't go wrong w/any Beatles Music. Best Band now & forever in History! Dan Ross Hou Tx  Fab/Four

I hope that they will hold concerts in USA in future. Their Vlive online concert is the best.  The package came in perfect condition.

text: This is my 2nd time ordering from you and I have to say BRAVO!! I bought the same item a few years back as a gift to a friend but after that I needed one for myself!! The packaging is great to insure nothing gets busted or broken. However this time around there was a small trace of powdered bone fragment in the sealed ziplock that when I opened it, got all over my pants. I also started to notice with future inspection that in certain spots the bone was falling apart to the ever so lightly touch. I didn't buy this to be passed around, it's a medical novelty item to add to my collection of human anatomy so I know that no human is perfect. Bones included. It will be displayed in a beautiful shadow box in my cabinet of curiosities. You guys never cease to amaze me with how well you articulate bones. I love it and will be ordering again in the future!!! I have my eyes set on obtaining another feline fully articulated domestic cat from you 😁😁😁❤❤❤


I purchased this disc on a lark - sounded interesting and worth a try.  I do not live in Seattle, so was not familiar with the station or the recording.  Well...I have been blown away!  the sound quality is the best (I am a very discerning listener).  I could not resist.  I now own TWELVE (4.5.6.9,11,12,13,14,15,16,17 and 18) of these separate recordings.  I purchased most of them as used - with no regrets.  The cases and the discs are in great condition.  Only wish I could afford the entire issue - a few have become very hard (and expensive) to purchase.

title: A good mixture by JWB

text:
With John born in France, “AC” Csapo originally from Hungary and the band now headquartered in Denver, Colorado, you might say the JWB is an international blues organization.

For those who aren’t familiar with them, the JWB is comprised of John Weeks doing most of the vocals and guitar work, Andras “AC” Csapo on keyboard and harmonica, Curtis Hawkins on bass, and “Chooch” Molinario handling percussion.  Weeks also had a hand in writing all the songs on this set with the able assistance of Curtis and “AC.”

With a mixture of upbeat cuts as well as groovy down-and-dirties, this CD is a good introduction to the JWB sound.  It’s a sound that includes fuzzy-funk and reverb on both the guitar and mouth harp tracks. When he’s not playing harmonica, Csapo is also making Hammond B-3-like sounds on the keyboard.

HOW CAN YOU LOVE ME is a “She Done Me Wrong” song that comes out all right in the end—he finally dumps her.  YOU NEVER SAY WHAT YOU MEAN tells of man’s never-ending struggle to find out what a woman REALLY means when she doesn’t mean what she’s saying.  In this cut, Weeks’ guitar solos display both the clean as well as the fuzz sound.

DEVIL IN MY HOUSE reminds all of us again to stay away from ol’ Satan.  ‘Cause if you let him in, you will definitely pay for it.  WHY DON’T WE SLEEP ON IT is an upbeat instrumental that gives free rein to the four-bar breaks that spotlight “AC’s” harmonica, Week’s shuffling guitar, and the bedrock beat of “Chooch” Molinario’s percussion.  Technically, about the only thing this production needs is a slightly louder track for Curtis Hawkins, the bass man.  Occasionally he can be heard, but not clearly.

title: Lady A gets an A+

text:
This is a well-produced album with excellent sound quality throughout, so kudos definitely go to Mississippi blues man/producer Dexter Allen who quarterbacked the whole production.  Unfortunately, very little info came with the album (not even a list of the song titles!) which makes it difficult to give credit to any of the backup musicians.  On the other hand, if the huge, multi-instrument sound is the result of Dexter Allen’s and Joey Robinson’s musical talents alone, then at least fifty percent of this successful album must be credited to those two multi-talent, multi-track wizards.

The other fifty percent of course goes to Seattle native Anita White, better known as “Lady A,” who is a powerful vocalist and an effective story teller.  This lady has been singing since she was five years old and her chops are solidly grounded in a style that could be called blues-funk-gospel-rock.  She’s been called the “hardest working female blues performer in the whole Northwest.”  She’s done her time in Europe, having been a featured performer on the “European Blues Cruise” which sails out of Marseille, France.  In addition, she’s taught and mentored up-and-coming blues performers from Holland, Germany, Sweden and Denmark.  And she’s toured most of the USA to rave reviews.

The title song is a bluesy, hymn-like spiritual that clearly demonstrates how well the multi-tracks have been seamlessly blended.  “Honey Hush” is a humorous tribute to Lady A’s grandma Elnora who tried to limit trash-talk at family gatherings.  “Don’t Let Your Blues Become a Crime” is a moody piece about the day-to-day struggles we all face.  “Trouble On My Mind” tells of that bad lover who not only wrecks your sleeping hours but your waking hours as well.  “Take Me Back to Seattle” captures a feeling all traveling musicians can identify with: that aching pang for your own home, your own Starbucks, your own nightlife venues, and most of all, your own bed.

“Lady A”definitely deserves an “A+” for this one.

title: just good solid blues

Bridget Kelly Band
“Forever In Blues”

Bridget Kelly has paid some dues, no doubt about it.  She has also brought together a small but powerful trio of sidemen who know how to tightly wrap a big package. No frills, no spangles, just good solid blues.  Holding it altogether is the outstanding guitar work of Tim Fik who, along with Kelly, composed all the songs on this album.

From the opener, I’LL BE MISSING YOU, to the closer, WHEN THE BLUES COME AROUND, Kelly and her band manage somehow to project a sound that is both large and yet intimate.  Some of that can be credited to the solid floor erected by bass man Mike Hamm and drummer Michael Barady plus some first-class post-production work.

It’s difficult to highlight any one cut on this album but BLUES IN THE KITCHEN reminds us that the blues can grab you anywhere.  Like in the kitchen, where even the pots and pans are empty and hollow and ring of loneliness.

With a tip of the hat to the Texas Blues master, Stevie Ray Vaughn, TEXAS TOAST recaps the eternal blues story of a woman pouring out her heart and soul to her man.  But, as the story so often goes, she gets burned in the end like a piece of Texas toast.  Only this time she’s had enough.

This CD has slow and moody as well as bouncy, up-tempo cuts and Kelly handles all of them in a nicely-polished way.  If the production has any negatives at all it’s the lack of credits for the two male singers featured in EVERYDAY WITHOUT YOU and WHEN THE BLUES COMES AROUND.  One assumes they are members of the backup trio but with no names attached to the cuts it isn’t clear.  Whoever they are, both are strong enough performers to merit their own CDs.

title: Chicken Legs -- “Finger Pickin’ Good

text:
This is a nifty little production by Chicago (transplanted to Sarasota, Florida) Blues Man, Steve Arvey.  It features Mike Davis on vocals, acoustic slide guitar and mouth harp.  All the songs were written by Davis himself with the Arvey touch added to two of them, “Get Up and Do It,” and “Goin’ Fishin.”
The first two cuts, “Burnt Toast” and “Know Where I’m Goin’” have the added flavoring of Damon Fowler playing some mighty fine electric slide guitar.
The set also includes a pair of instrumentals (“Yuma” and “Haunted Train”) that show off Mike Davis’s own first-class,finger-pickin’ guitar work.
Backup singer Rebecca Bird adds a little feminine color on a couple cuts.
“Haunted Train” is a hard driving, up tempo piece that is perfectly titled.  It definitely has that haunting sound of a ghost train speeding through a pitch-black night, bound for eternity.  Very nice indeed.
The title song, “Chicken Legs” adds a touch of humor to the set.  The lyrics tell about a trip to Dallas,to buy a new pair of jeans.  But on the way, the traveler has a ‘must-stop’ side trip to make, to an Austin, Texas, chicken-eatery called “Ms. P’s Electric Cock.”  The writer tells us: if you’re looking for “The Best Fried Chicken in the WORLD!” the place to go is Ms. P’s.
“Goin’ Fishin’” is a slow rocker that highlights the Davis mouth harp.  It reminisces about that perfect, lazy, blue-sky summer day when all you had to do was a little bit fishing and a whole lot of drinkin’.
“Know Where I’m Goin’” celebrates the fate of bluesmen everywhere.  They’re either waitin’ for the last train out of town, or they’re already on the road to the next gig.  This piece has a chugging, train-like that also presents the rather bizarre and unshakeable image of Yanni and Jesus,side by side, in long white robes.
“Cherry Wine” is another slow rocker.  This one is about one of those heart-breaking babes who always seem to run off with the next hairy-legged, juke-joint band singer who rolls into town.
Probably the best piece in the set is the last one, “Climbing Rock.”  This is another up tempo shuffle rocker built around some excellent guitar work by Arvey and Davis.  It’s all about a woman, of course.  A woman who is hard to handle and smokin’ hot.  But she’s also the kind of woman that you know—sooner or later—you’re gonna have to leave behind.
If you’re unfamiliar with Bluesman Mike Davis, grab yourself a mess of chicken legs and start gnawing.  You’re bound to have yourself a finger lickin’ good time.

text: I'm giving this five stars, but I haven't gotten my CDs yet.  I HOPE I'm getting the Salzburg performance, but I won't know until it arrives.  I've never seen anything approaching the confusion like the numerous listings for CDs for the 1961 Met performance(s) and I believe, it would be the 1962 Salzburg performance - all with Leontyne Price and Corelli...I think.  The reviews are totally off, apparently, with wrong reviews on different (?) performances.  The list of Trovtatores from 1961-62, or thereabouts, is  nothing short of staggering apparently due to MANY labels being involved, and, at least to me, totally confused on Amazon and even Arkivmusic, who up to now have been very reliable.  If you're interested in these artists in this work, lots of luck at least for the moment, for getting what you actually want.


title: Enjoyable Baroque organ masses

text: François Couperin was one of the great composers of the French Baroque. I really enjoy his work. These two masses are enjoyable recordings. All digital (DDD). Two masses, one for ordinary usage of the parishes, the other for convents. Performed on the Fisk organ at Downtown Presbyterian church in Rochester, New York. I do not regret this purchase. But get it used. I hesitate to give it five stars. I might change it to four stars after I've listened to it more (though I've already listened to it thrice).


title: The lecture on Gandhi is excellent

text: The lecture on Gandhi alone is worth the purchase price. The other lectures are mediocre imo; they are decent but not nearly as good as the one on Gandhi ("Gandhi: All religions are true" is the title). The lecture on Gandhi is by Prof. Diana Eck, professor of comparative religion and Indian studies at Harvard. This lecture covers some periods of Gandhi's life and development (including some interesting stories), and explores Gandhi's views of other religions, for example his views on Islam and Christianity. Gandhi had good things to say about the Sermon on the Mount (I believe he said something like if it were all Christianity were about he would have no trouble accepting Christianity), and he incorporated Allah in prayers. The lecture also explores Gandhi's views on religious toleration and being respectful of other religious traditions. His view was that a respectful study of another religion's scripture is a duty. The other lectures are "Judaism as a religion," "Some thoughts on comparative fundamentalism," which explores religion and politics in the United States, and "What is an Islamic society?" I find these lectures mostly somewhat dull and relatively uninformative, at least compared to the lecture on Gandhi, and occasionally a little biased. Again, the lecture on Gandhi is alone worth the purchase price in my opinion. Hard to find in this small set. Usually you have to buy a whole course from The Teaching Company.


title: Good, But If Only ...

text: This heart-felt album is a welcome change from the processed Christmas music so often heard at Yuletide.  Ms Mitchell has a nice voice.  But I wish this album were purely instrumental.  Her harp-playing is top-notch, and the (too few) straight instrumentals are great.  But many of the vocal selections are played so fast that her voice has to hop and jump trying to breathe and sing.


title: Grandma, Don't Sing in Public!

text: This is a sad cash-in.  The accompanist is an accomplished pianist, and the backup singers (maybe four of them) are OK.  But every song is arranged the same way:  The lead singer takes off and the backups chime in on the chorus.  The problem is this:  The female lead singer sounds like your Aunt Mabel or Grandma.  She can carry a tune, but every song is belted at the same volume and our poor lead singer grabs a breath wherever she can, in the middle of a phrase or what-have-you.  Do not expect performances worth paying to hear.


title: Fine Performances of Music That Moves You Intellectually as Well as Emotionally

text:
This performance of classical music based on folk themes is not only competently played but the performances are emotionally moving.  This music isn't dripping with pathos like a stereotypical "Gypsy dance," but it's just as revealing of the Balkan soul and spirits.

The performances are fine.

So Disc One is all Sequential, and Disc Two is various other performers.


title: Typical New Age-Style "American Indian" Music

text: This is fine for background music while reading, or some such activity.  This is competently played and similar to any other random "Indian Flute" recording you may come across.  You have a flute, piano, synthesizer, and drums playing pieces of music in the standard idiom of western-European/American chords and modulations.


title: Fine Collection of Not "Obviously Christmas" Organ Music

text:
I’m not a connoisseur of classical organ music, but these performances sound fine to me.  They don’t sound “Christmassy” in any obvious way, so be forearmed with that information.  Here are the tracks:

1)  JS Bach:  Pastorale in F-major
2)  JohannPachelbel: “Von himmel hoch,” “Allein Gott in der Höh”
3)  Dietrich Buxtehude: Choral Fantasy “Wie Schön Leuchtet der Morgensten”
4)  Theodor Grüneberger: Pastorella in B-major
5)  Marianus Königsperger: Pastorella in G-major
6)  P.J. Desponasione: Pastorella in C-major
7)  Johann Valentin Rathgeber: Pastorella in C-major
8)  Anonymous:  Pastorella in G-major
9)  Gottlieb Muffat: Pastorella in B-major
10)  Louis-Claude D’Aquin: Noel in G-major
11)  Jean F Dandrieu: Noel in D-minor “Joseph est bien Marié”
12)  JS Bach:  Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland

It’s a fascinating listen.  However, there are no liner notes, and nowhere on the disc or CD inserts is there any mention of the performer of this fine music.


title: A Fine (but Narrow) Look into the American West's Musical Past

text:
This LP is issued by a group called the Company of Military Historians and features band marches, bugle calls, and songs sung by the soldiers of the time, just as implied by the title.
  The only deficiency, I feel, is that the first three tracks on Side One, the "Band Marches," sound tinny, as if recorded at a distance while the band played outside.  The rest of the tracks sound near and are well balanced.  The bugle tracks which make up the rest of Side One are performed by a single bugler and are brief.  You'll recognize some of these melodies from Dudley Do-Right cartoons or western TV or movies.
  The songs on Side Two are all performed by one man and a single guitar.  The guy's voice is similar in tone to Roy Rogers' tenor.
  All in all, this is a fine listen for anybody interest in history in general, or the American West in particular.

SIDE ONE:
BAND MARCHES
01 - The Young Recruit
02 - Hail, Columbia
03 - Garryowen

title: Typical Example of New Age Dreamy Stuff

text:
If you like drifting, seemingly aimless music, this is the kind of stuff you will like.

There are three selections:

01. The Journey (19:47)
02. Utopian Sunrise (6:17)
03. Paradise Found (16:01)

And the pretentious liner notes of the cassette insert say:

"A New Age musical epic.  The time is after the turn of the century; the earth has gone through a great cleansing and mankind now evolves into a thousand years of peace."

Of course because he is a New Age Artiste, the composer will of course be one of the chosen few who was already "clean" enough to survive the "great cleansing."

Fine stuff for fans of Don Robertson or maybe Michael Stearns, although not QUITE as good (in my opinion) as either of them.


title: Worship for Mind AND Heart

text:
So much so-called "worship" music consists of repetition of a chorus over and over, and ungrammatical construction.  While this is a valid form of praising God, somebody who feels more comfortable THINKING while praising should love this album.  The lyrics actually are stand-alone, correctly written sentences, with no mixed analogies and misplaced objects.

These are ROCKING songs that aren't draggy.  The slow ones move along, too. Some of the lyrics are almost straight scripture; some are meditations on God's truths.

  NONE are dreary repetition over and over!  Many will stay with you and help you sing to the Lord even when you're at work or driving.  This is a great album fron Miranda, Tim, Tyler, and Chester. (once known as SPARKLEPOP).


title: A Christmas collection with depth and grandeur!

text: My only other CD of Jessye Norman’s music is an astonishing recording of Spirituals that she performed with Kathleen Battle. If it were possible to wear a hole in a CD by overplaying it, my Spirituals CD would certainly be sporting a hole. I love that CD! Imagine my gratitude to the Philips recording label, then, when I discovered while shopping for new Christmas music that they had put out a 2-CD set of Jessye Norman singing Christmas carols. The arrangements are nothing short of stunning! Jessye’s inimitable classically-trained voice is so glorious that even unaccompanied this album would be great. On this CD set, though, she is accompanied by many choirs and orchestras that do justice to her immense talent. If you’re in the market for new Christmas music, look no further. Like my well-played Spirituals CD, this 2-CD set is going to give me hours of spine-tingling pleasure this holiday season and many more to come.


title: Jose Alfredo Jimenez cd review

text: I grew up listening to this music.  Glad I discovered Amazoñ.  I am happy with all purchases so far.


title: I Appreciate

text: I absolutely recommend this seller's product.  I received this album on vinyl and it was in perfect condition.  I had been looking for it for a long time, and I am very pleased.  It was packaged so there was no possibility of damage to the record itself.  The price of the album was also very reasonable.  I'm looking forward to using this seller again.


title: Great First album

text: This is one very good singer. She has a lot of potential.<br />It's a 5 star rating for me cause it deserves it. The lyrics say it all


title: Really different

text: I love all of the tracks on this album (except red pill, blue pill - so repetitive!). The music is really different stylistically from the more common stuff you usually hear. If you like the Animatrix movie, this is a good buy in my opinion.


title: Excellent!

text: Great cd! Love Moves like Jagger!


title: Five Stars

text: Great music and lyrics.  I have worn out my cd.


title: Hybrid Theory EP

text: The first official Linkin Park's album. The first teaser of a great, great band. Highly recommended. 6 track EP was released on 1999 and then a re-issued version on 2001 for the LP Underground official fan club.


title: The must have Glen Campbell collection.

text: Almost every Glen Campbell song I could want is here, digitally remastered sound is crisp and clear, I sat and listened to all 3 discs when I got it and went back in time and found I still remembered the words to most of the tracks, I love that " The moon's a harsh mistress" is included, that song is so beautiful, Very satisfied with the product and prompt delivery, If I could add one track it would be Glen's studio version of "Amazing Grace".


title: An awesome ablum

text: This is a great album!  The title song brings on an emotional high for the Lord. The rest of the songs are equally a blessing.  I highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys listening to and praising the Lord with songs!!


title: Kick Axe

text: Man do i miss this  not trying to show my age but kick axe rocks


title: Aussie's own Jet and Iggy Pop remake classic 80's Iggy

text: I first saw the vid for this a couple weeks ago on Jet's band site. Holy cow, with Iggy Pop?? The same guy who butchered Madonna's tunes at her nomination for the R&R Hall of Fame this year? Iggy's still got it, though. The Jet boys add raw energy to the mix. A great tribute to a fellow Aussie, a 50 year old tune, and probably will be a classic remake.

title: old hessians die hard

text: keep rockin


title: Once was Enough!

text: Since I only paid $0.01 for this cd (plus shipping) I won't feel too badly when I give it to Goodwill.  I'm not going to go into an in depth critique of the music on this disc; however, I will say that some parts of it are very good, but more than half of it is very bad.  I only listened to this cd once and that was enough.


title: Moody Hungarian chamber jazz

text: Like a more dissonant and moody Shadowfax.  If that sounds like something you would appreciate, then you're safe buying this CD.  But if you're looking for some interesting modern jazz that really integrates Hungarian and Turkish influences, this isn't it.


title: Five Stars

text: Don Francisco makes the scriptures come alive.


title: Five Stars

text: A delight to listen to.


title: It's ok, but...

text: I found it to not really help at all.  Surprisingly he has a very "commanding" voice and it felt more like being told what to do rather than "hypnotic suggestions".


title: Great soundtrack CD

text: It's the sountrack to a movie that hasn't been made. That's the best way I can think of to describe this CD. Hammered dulcimers, guitars, and trumpets make this one of the most interesting discs I've heard in a long time. It's dark and quiet, with no vocals. An excellent disc to have in your collection!


title: Five Stars

text: good cd


title: what a greatest hits should be

text: All of the songs you know by Coldplay (up through Paradise) and some others.  It's what a greatest hits should be.


title: practical advice with interesting twists on attacking problems

text:
I very much like the way robbins gives achievable standards for knowing if you are on track. I listen to this program often, for inspiration. an example: "the quality of your life will be determined by the amount of Uncertainty you can comfortably live with".

There is enough content to justify the cost. That is, enough new ideas that you can use to improve your life to make it worth while to listen to.


title: Very relaxing!

text: I first listened to this CD during massage therapy and found it extremely calming.  I decided it buy it to listen to at home when I need to relax.  GREAT music for this purpose!


title: All time true to life struggle hip hop

text: Old school polish hip hop made by real guys raised during communism...great music, amazing lyrics...just life. All time favorite "Chwilę ulotne" & "Jestem bogiem"...


title: Shipped with no issues.

text: Got everything mentioned and with complimentary tea bags from the seller.


title: Really enjoyed this. Heard "david" while watching "The Following" and ...

text: Really enjoyed this.  Heard "david" while watching "The Following" and dug around until I found the song.  The CD version of this album is out of print, so I was very glad to have finally obtained a copy.  Mind you, this is an EP of 7 songs, and the balance of the album is traditional folk and not as upbeat as "david", but overall a very nice album.


title: Don't Buy, seriously

text: Now I know why it was so hard to find: it is terrible. For the most part, it is remixes (for lack of a better word) of classic pre- Island Records' Wialers' tunes, done in 80's electronic style. Honestly, it is tough to even tell it is reggae. It is very poor sound quality as well. Don't buy. My seller was great, it is the product that's the issue.


title: Essential Alfred Newman

text:
Ignore the other review here, which isn't really about what Alfred Newman actually wrote for music. In fact, as of now this is the ONLY review about Alfred's music score lol!

Alfred Newman was one of the most important composers of the past 100 years; just check his track record for proof. Without him music in general would have been different for the bad.

In regard to this CD it is quite simple, this is an acknowledged film music classic of the Golden Age, and absolutely essential if you're a fan of not just the Golden age but the genre, period. Alfred takes a few strolls into Celtic regions here and there, and it makes the CD even more engaging.

Did I mention it was essential?


title: Brilliant, Gorgeous, Hopeful Music

text: Jerry Goldsmith was obviously influenced by the great Americana writers like Aaron Copland, and probably had high regard for Alfred Newman's How the West Was Won, However, he took those influences and made something truly exquisite on its own. This is an album to play straight through, it's that engaging for that long. I really don't want to go into too much detail; this is an example of a miracle in film music.

title: Alex Capus offers everything a discerning reader wants from a novel

text:
Note:  Audible.com: Please let us know who the translators are when you describe the book online and when the book is recorded (as I hope this one will be). Every recording should begin with the title of the book, the author, the translator (if it's not in the language of the original), and the person recording. Why is the name of the translator so often omitted? I've compared translations, so I know translators make an enormous contribution!  Here I am really reviewing the book-in-print, not the audio.  I ordered the audio CD because I thought it was in English and I like to listen to recorded books.  The CD turned out to be in German, a language I don't know. I hope this book will be recorded in English too.  The rest of my review stands as written.  But it's based on my reading the book not listening to it being read.  "Leon and Louise" (translated by John Brownjohn) is an insightful look into varieties of love and loyalty and, like Alex Campus "A Moment in Time" and "Sailing by Starlight," it gives the reader a personal sense of history--of being there.  I think it will make a very good movie, but no movie could convey Alex Campus' writing, which always has depth, wit, and fascinating details.  (Here I have to say I've always read his books only in translation--two in English by John Brownjohn, one in Spanish by Jaume Bonfill.
 I wouldn't describe "Leon & Louis" as a beach read like, say "Bridges of Madison Country," to which it could be favorably compared, because I think it's more provocative and more artfully written than that  usually implies.  "Leon & Louise" offers and demands more.  Yes, it's a story of the love that endures between Leon and Louise, but it's also about the love between Leon and his wife Yvonne.  In addition to the love theme, there's an exploration of loyalty and honor in a marriage and in an extra-marital relationship as well as on the job and in a city (Paris) occupied (by the Nazis in World War II).  It's about family in  the universal sense but depicts  one with unique characteristics.  (I love the Le Galls!)  It's about the vicissitudes  of marriage  As if that's not enough, it relates to the friendships we have with people we see only in passing like the concierge and the street beggar we get to know and care about as Leon does, and we also benefit from his awareness of the humanity involved in every exchange with these people we  sometimes finally get to know.  The book also poses some very compelling questions:  How does our romantic past affect our present reality?  Do some star-crossed lovers benefit from their frustration and all they imagine might have been?  Should a wife encourage her husband to find the woman he once loved and lost?  And how about the very broad but essential question(s):  What sustains love and what matters in our lives?
These are all questions Alex Capus raises in a very artful way.  But here is one question specific to "Leon & Louise" that I'm still wondering about:  Why did Louise remain a stranger to Leon's family--even when loyalty to his wife would not have been compromised?  The questions a reader continues to consider show the power of this book.

text: Really enjoyed this album.


title: Great Classic country music.

text: I own a copy of this and when my son and his family visited over Christmas he liked it so much I purchased it for him.  This is very "Old Country" music and my son and I both enjoyed it very much.


title: A Wonderful Collection

text: My father had this cd and I had the pleasure of hearing it on a car trip we did together. It was such a good selection of songs from the past from some very notable singers not only notable in their own time period but to future generations.  My granddaughter, now 19, listened to the CD I kept of my fathers when he passed away and enjoyed it so much she asked where she can get a copy so I searched on Amazon and felt happy too have found one for her.  The songs are so memorable and many would likely be recognized by multiple generations as they often are used in soundtracks for a variety of movies.  Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Perry Coma just cannot be beat when it comes to smooth delivery of their songs.  Well worth the purchase.


title: Probably Very Effective

text: This was a gift to my granddaughter's pet, so I do not have first hand information . . . just that the cat had responded to the Christmas WholeTones, so I decided to send the one for pets.


title: Love this music.

text: Good quality CD.


title: Nostalgia!

text: As a teenager, I used to play these tapes to help me fall asleep. Very soothing New Age music.


title: Real stories about real people

text: Love this CD.  I've had it for several years and keep listening.  It has songs about real people.

title: Great Nostalgic Trip Back to '75

text:
This live show recorded in 1975 showcases Chicago with its original lineup. As others in this string already point out, the sound quality is not much better than that of a bootleg; with today's technology, I'd have thought the sound engineer could've done much better. The brass is too bright and the vocals are too in your face. Worst of all, Terry Kath's guitar is nearly buried.

I recall a radio broadcast concert shortly after Kath's death and after the release of Hot Streets that featured Donnie Dacus as Kath's replacement. The band was backed by a full symphony orchestra and it sounded great. Perhaps this, too, is something Rhino might consider releasing on CD.

Concerning Live in 75, I recall seeing this band in that era when they were the quintessential jam band. This compilation contains all of their early hits and three tunes from the eighth album, including a funked up version of Ain't it Blue?, one of my favorite Chicago tunes. Other highlights include, from the first disc, a twelve-minute version of Mongnonucleosis (a great party jam featuring an extended trumpet solo and a percussion duet between Laudir De Oliveiro and the drummer Buddy Rich once called his favorite young drummer, Danny Seraphine--how could the band ever fire him?), and from the second disc, rollicking versions of Free and Dialogue.

Nicely packaged if overpriced. Call me a sucker but I'd still buy anything featuring Terry Kath.

Five stars for content, three for sound quality.

text: The product was in rough shape, still in plastic but corners were smashed


title: EXOPLANET #1

text: The photo-books are beautiful!  My wife loves it. The extras were great too! Actually arrived faster than expected.  Great gift for any EXO fan.


title: Too bad the sound is muddled...otherwise...

text: My one complaint and it ruins a lot for this release, is that the sound is awful. Perfectly calm had it right. This is such a step backwards both in sound, and pretty much everything else. While not bad, it is by no means an improvement over Perfectly calm.<br />There are some great elements, there are some powerful songs on here that keep it interesting, and that at least evens out the horrid production. The last track on the CD is such a stand out too, it alone makes it worth the purchase. And oddly it dose not suffer from the bad production as the other songs do. In any case if you enjoy Darkflight, then this is for you.


title: Amazing great stuff

text:
I am pretty shocked this has not been reviewed or talked about much if at all.
Heretoir play a very melancholic and flowing form of post-black metal.
It is much like a mixture of Lantlos, Alcest, And a bit of Les Discrets swirled together.
If you know the above mentioned bands, then you will know what to expect.
But with those similarities, they have their own sound and their own way of purveying the atmosphere and emotions of the songs and music in a slightly darker more negative way.
Heretoir is not uplifting like say Alcest, and is darker than Lantlos, but not as depressing as Les Discrets, it fits someplace in the middle. I highly recommend Heretoir's releases to anyone that enjoys this kind of music, you will not be disappointed.


title: For those wanting something new but wanting that familiar older feeling

text: Not a whole lot to really say about this, but I will get to the point. A very sort of unknown band from Sweden, creating trollish black metal with a familiar feel to it. It is kind of like a mix of some satyricon, emperor, troll, and stormblast era dimmu. The quality is good, and the vocals are of the grim variety. While not exactly the most original stuff around, especially for black metal, it is worth a purchase and at the very least a listen. All done by one guy, and arranged very nicely. Hopefully other titles by him will become available.


title: A very underrated gem, looked over and passed up far too much.

text: This is some very solid, well produced, great sounding black metal. Slavic, like bands Alatyr ( also label mates) or bands like Hate forest and Drudkh. It has a unique sound though and is not a copycat act. I highly recommend it to anybody who likes the more obscure and unique black metal bands out there, this should suite you well.


title: Wonderful to Experience

text:
Shiina Ringo's "Kalk Zamen Kuri no Hana" is the best album you've never heard. It can be a little difficult to absorb at first, as every song overflows with random sounds and textures, but repeated listens reveal strong melodies, powerful/wounded vocals and postmodern genre-hopping pastiche this side of Bjork's "Post." Unlike "Post," however, "Kalk Zamen" is an extremely intimate experience, with a feel comparable to Bjork's later album, "Vespertine," or Tori Amos' "Boys for Pele."

Shiina Ringo is a creative voice that deserves the world's attention. It's too bad that this voice will likely never reach Western ears.


title: Waiting in the wings no more!

text:
It comes as no surprise to learn that Maggie Herron lists Dave Brubeck as an influence.  What is a surprise is that it's taken thirty years for this singer/songwriter to step out of the shadows and make her national recording debut.  In The Wings is a self-produced collection of nine of her own compositions and one cover (Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock").

How many performers can say that they made their debut at age 14 playing a piano concerto (from memory) with a full orchestra?  And apparently, she has never stopped playing.  Thirty years of experience are personified in a voice that is remarkable for its depth and range.  Herron's diction is precise and she's quite adept at evoking emotions in her listeners.

Tracks four, "Stepping Out", seven, "Up Early" and the closing title track, "In The Wings" are the three instrumentals on the disc and display a refreshing virtuosity in the compositions complimented by the talent of the musicians.  Whether bop or samba, these guys turn in brilliant performances. Along with Ms. Herron (on grand piano) listeners are treated to Paul Lindbergh on sax and flute, Eldred Ahlo on trumpet and Kevin Hirasa on guitar.  The rhythm section includes Dean Taba on bass and Noel Okimoto on drums.

A muted trumpet opens "Woodstock" for a moody obviously jazz-influenced cover - it's been a long time coming.  Lindbergh's sax adds to the atmosphere producing our favorite cover of this song since CSN&Y.  A French love song follows before an instrumental leads us to my favorite of her vocals: "Don't Ask Me To Stop."  This jazz/blues torch song begins with a request that no lover could ignore  and ends with a reassuring promise.

Maggie Herron's first CD will hit the streets February 22, 2011, is also available as a digital download, and should bring her center stage, no longer In The Wings.


title: Poor quality vinyl

text: Sound on this album was terrible; the disk is warped but not severely so not sure that's the whole problem.  I immediately put on another disk to make sure it wasn't my needle, etc. but that sounded fine.  Shouldn't sell something that is this poor quality.


title: A fine selection of Sandy’s standards

text: Best:  the expected standout classics by Sandy. Worst:  missing some fine lesser-known tracks.


title: Brilliant, just Brilliant

text: It has not aged.  Brilliant, just Brilliant.  Highly recommend this classic film and above the soundtrack to anyone.  Thankyou, AMAZON.  Shamus.


title: Can't have one with out the other.

text:
I am always saddened to talk about a Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack, as I know there will be no more of his brilliant work to add to my collection.

THE EDGE opens with a brief and beautiful piece of music, which represented the start of the film prior to the beginning credits.  It is soon complimented by the main theme as we experience the vision of a small seaplane sweeping around and across the magnificent Alps of Alaska.  By the end of THE EDGE, you will want to get the soundtrack.  Like all Jerry Goldsmith film soundtracks, you can’t have one with out the other.

In THE EDGE, you can hear hints of his other films; POWDER, the RAMBO films, MEDICENT MAN and even ALIEN.  To any film and film music lover not to have THE EDGE in their collection would be nothing less than empty. I strongly suggest having both the film and soundtrack of THE EDGE, plus the fore mentioned, so as to totally enjoy the brilliance of the late and great Jerry Goldsmith.

Shamus of Cygnet.

title: Girls Generation is AWESOME again in sub-group with

text:
If you love SNSD, AKA Girls Generation, this is a must have.  To me they are like the band Kiss, with the original members, where every song is awesome and unique.  They perform for the fans, just like Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.

These are not just allot of Beautiful faces, sorry Gene and Paul beautiful faces is where you lose out,  but each has an awesome and unique voices.

Korean k-pop is like our American late 70's and 80's music with a breath of fresh air and allot more girl groups.

Awesome "Where's Waldo" theme. Up beat and motivating. DON'T MISS THE VIDEO FOR [Do It Like Me]
If you like other Orange Caramel performances you will be extremely happy.  I got Raina for the post card.  Was hoping for Lizzy.
I listen to K Pop to bring up my mood and keep me happy.

Orange Caramel is a child safe K Pop.  Up to this album.

title: Five Stars

text: Wonderful CD of Cats--enjoyed.


title: Good music

text: Great mello low voice with a smooth vibrato. The music is similar to Mr. Brimley's other album "This Time the Dream's On Me" and full of romantic chamber type songs. He does a great version of Danny Boy at the end that's quite humbling.


title: Surprising pleasant

text:
I was unaware that Wilford Brimley, one of my favorite actors, was also a singer. I didn't know what to expect, but I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of singing voice he had considering how rough his speaking voice is. I was pleasantly surprised.

The music is what I'd call lounge music or soft jazz, kind of like what Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin used to sing, with one song that particularly reminded me of Louis Armstrong. Brimley's singing voice is smooth and on key, both of which are essential especially in this type music. The song selection is pleasant and gears toward romanticism.

The instrumentation is incredible. The pianist and trumpet players give incredible performances and the composition is well done.
