title: Worst Remix/ Re release I've Ever Heard.

text: I'm absolutely puzzled by the glowing reviews of the sound quality of this re-issue. I've been collecting DVD-A's, SACD's in stereo and surround since 1999. I have scores of rock, jazz and classical discs in high resolution. Now adding Blu-ray audios to my collection. Also love good vinyl. I have a Marantz SR 7005 receiver (160 W/ 6 ohms), Marantz DV-7001 disc player and a suite of Wharfedale Pacific Evo 40 towers, surrounds and a huge Wharfedale Opus centre. Front towers are bi-amped. Dual Wharfedale subs (front firing 15" and down firing 12").  I get great sound in all formats, including vinyl (Philips 212 w/Grado cart. and Bellari tube pre). Not bragging- this is a very blue collar system- not ultra high end. But it does right by good recordings and even plays cable stations nicely in Dolby Pro Logic II. I have a Cambridge Audio iPod dock which also enhances the quality of sound from my iPod Classic 160 gb that is filled with Apple Lossless cd rips. The system is revealing enough to discern differences between all these formats. The Elliot Scheiner Beck, Steely Dan and Fleetwood Mac surround re-mixes are stunning. The Harrison/Thorngren/Cohen re-mix of The Talking Heads Brick DualDisc re-issue is another competent and crystal clear recording. I could go on... I am shocked by the poor audio quality of this album, even wondering if anyone out there has had the same experience. The MLP Lossless 24/96 is so shrill and brittle it hurts my ears. Mids are muddy and bass is NON-EXISTENT. The drums are under 60 feet of water and can't be found. The DTS 24/48 tracks get a little more bass to work with. But both formats are UNLISTENABLE and tragically flawed. It has less dynamic range than a completely worn out cassette tape. If not for the quality packaging, I would swear these are counterfeit MP3 rips from China. disappointment doesn't even begin to describe my feelings.


title: Incomparable!

text: If you don't know Ivry Gitlis, you should! I imagine he's much like Paganini was himself, in that Ivry plays with his fascinating, individual passion and for shear beauty's sake. He's no Heifetz in staccato precision... but his approach makes one weep, smile, swoon and marvel. Watch him in his younger days (on youtube)....what a brilliant hunk of gorgeous masculinity, mastering and controlling each piece and the violin....I never tire of his unique performance style.<br />The Caprices are what they are. One doesn't listen to all 24 of these exercises as  they would another compilation of melodic pieces.....except for people like me, who can't get enough of either gentleman.


title: The DVD has an amazing sound,

text: All the known music by Randy Travis,<br />I am very happy to now own this amazing collection


title: BEWARE - Flashing Light: Epileptic Seizure Warning.

text: Wow. Whoever directed this DVD did so in a style that uses rapidly changing scenes to achieve a strobe light effect. Flashing BRIGHT lights, changing colors, rapidly cutting from scene to scene. The music is typical Hillsong United, meaning excellent. But the video quality is eye scorching and retina searing. If you or someone you know is prone to epileptic seizures from bright flashing lights...stay far away from this DVD. My eyes are normal and "I" find it hard to watch. The music itself is more like a rock concert than a Gospel themed event. Hundreds of young people are jumping up and down in front of the stage like they're in a mosh pit - not what I was expecting.


title: Not One Good Song on the Entire DVD/CD.

text:
I love the music of Michael W. Smith. I think that he is an extremely talented artist, a likeable person, and a good Christian. I was introduced to his Christian music through his 2002 live album recorded in Canada...Worship. I love EVERY SONG on that album, every one of them. Several of them caused me to become emotional. I've watched "Agnus Dei" two or three times each day since I discovered the DVD. The crowd goes wild in the DVD, and the Holy Spirit clearly descended onto the crowd.

As a result of that album I have ordered every Michael W. Smith DVD/CD combo album. That was a mistake.

I received the Sovereign DVD/CD combo today. I just finished watching the entire DVD. I kept listening to song after song, hoping that one of them would be half as good as those found on the Worship album. I reached the end of the DVD without liking one of the songs. The crowd, although respectful, was pretty much quiet throughout the entire show.

I will say that this DVD/CD is made to the same high quality standards as all of Michael W. Smith's products, but that's just about all that I have positive to say about "Sovereign." Michael said that Sovereign was basically an experimental album, and as far as I'm concerned it didn't live up to his previous efforts. If I had watched this show on YouTube prior to buying it, I wouldn't have bought this DVD/CD combo. Sorry, Michael.


title: Very annoying presenters

text: I find it hard to do these exercises because they dry out my mouth so much.  Further, I find the manner of speaking of the instructors, particularly the woman, to be so annoying as to be unendurable.  I try to skip the parts where I have to listen to either of the speakers as they try way, way, way too hard.  If the intended audience is children, which is the impression I get from their instructions to "repeat that with me," the package should say that.  I don't like live people to speak to me in such a manner, and I surely don't want to listen to it over and over again on a recording.


title: Five Stars

text: Love Heidelberg and Andre, beautiful music which takes you back to old Heidelberg where we once lived!


title: Jo Vally - the best

text: The music of Jo Vally is the best from Europe. He sings "modern" crooner songs in Flemish/Dutch. An absolute delight to listen to. This CD is no exception.


You must get this on compact disc...PERIOD!  This is one of their best two albums.  The other one is "Groovin."


title: Great deal.

text: Two great albums, one good price. Imagine Dragons are phenomenal.


title: Love these songs

text: Whitney as most fans remember her. Beautiful, soaring voice and inspirational songs. I’m fortunate to have a CD player in my car (I think automakers are starting to remove them from new models.) There isn’t one bad song on this album.

title: She liked it.

text: I bought this for my mother. She liked it.


title: A Beacon of Clarity Through the Fog and Grog of War

text: Typical Tuchman insights and 'spin' on why who was where when. Who knew the Dutch kept the back door open to powder and shot? Definite partisan of Admiral Rodney over Hood who could but didn't save . . . . well you need to read to know who.


title: ... HARD TO TELL IF THE ANNIVERSARY EDITION IS ANY BETTER THAN THE REGULAR ALBUMN

text: IT'S HARD TO TELL IF THE ANNIVERSARY EDITION IS ANY BETTER THAN THE REGULAR ALBUMN. EITHER WAY IT IS SUPERB.


title: Lily Laskine was a master harpist!

text: Grew up listening to Lily Laskine, who in her day, was world renowned.  This is just a lovely recording that brings back fond memories and this flawless virtuoso on display once again!  The Handel concerto is a true delight!


title: Best Native American flute music!

text: I bought this in the 90's on cassette. I have kept it and listened to it all of these years. Recently I stated to worry about the tape ripping (this is what all people over 45 can relate to, otherwise it is a mystery to all those in the MP3 era). So I purchased it on CD. Great seller, too.


title: Fond of the late Ashley Miller, but disappointed.

text: Ashley Miller was a consummate musician, with a unique style of reharmonization, registration, and phrasing. This recording is a bit of a disappointment more from a production standpoint. Miller's playing is impeccable, but the excitement of the Senate's theatre organ is missing. Something about the recording's acoustical presence is not to my liking. LPs from the 1950s that I still have are superior. Not sorry I bought it in spite of those caveats.


title: One of the greatest samplers I ever owned!

text:
I purchased the RCA Victor LP, Lullaby of Birdland, in 1956. I was curious why they would issue an LP with twelve cuts of the same tune. On the other hand, the musicians and arrangers were exciting: Shorty Rogers, Pete Jolly, Quincy Jones, Andre Previn, etc.

I think I listened to that album more than any other album in the 1950s. As discussed in previous reviews, some of the cuts featured the exact same personnel, even though featuring various arrangements. That certainly gave me a lesson in big band arranging. Also, it was common in the 1950s, for record companies to issue extra recorded cuts on things such as samplers...sold at a reduced price. This was RCA's contribution to the world of samplers, but issued at the full price which, in those days, was $3.98.

If you were really in touch with the jazz recording world at the time, you could figure out which cut came from which recording session, and then purchase the corresponding recording.

I wish like hell, some company would reissue this compilation as a CD. I'm too lazy to hook up all my equipment in order to do it myself. And I listened to this recording so many times that I can sing all the arrangements--both inner voices, outer voices, and all the jazz solos.


title: Five Stars

text: Everything was as expected.


title: Perfection

text: It is The Beatles.  As a huge fan of their music, I loved hearing the remixed music.


title: Musical talent

text: This CD brings back many good memories of my youth; Peter Maffay was very famous in Europe in the 1970's and still today.  His musical talent is greatly valued.


title: Beautiful Music by a Beautiful Person

text: Lori, aka "Gigi" had the voice of an angel.  I will treasure this CD, just as a treasure the memories we hold of her.  She was one in a million, and lived her life as we all should- to the fullest, and for the Lord.


title: Everything I aspect

text: Good condition and price


title: Five Stars

text: Good quality and sound. No complaints.


title: Have not heard any bad about

text: Bought it as a gift. Have not heard any bad about it


title: Guitar Driven New Wave

text: "Cream Machine" sounds like an unreleased Blondie album from the late 70's.  Eileen's voice captures that punk/new wave sound and the band keeps it simple with big power chords and big beats.  IMO a superior album to their follow-ups "Mockers and Rods" and "Fade Away And You're Gone".


title: the Carpenters

text: saw a documentary on them--it was great. This 3 CD set is even greater. Had the Christmas album but no other Carpenters CDs--now I have all their hits!


title: Nothing jarocho on this CD at all

text: Although this harp is entitled Veracruz y su Arpa Jarocha, there is no son jarocho music on here at all, and in fact the harp being played is a Paraguayan harp. This CD is therefore mistitled and falsely marketed. The songs are nice and the playing is ok, but if you want real son jarocho music from Veracruz, you won't find it here. Shame on you, Amazon!


title: Incredible sound!!!

text: LOVE this CD!!!  I have The Best of Blondie, but this CD has a few more great songs, plus the sound is twice as clear and crisp and loud as The Best.  If you love Blondie, this is the CD to have.  Although I might need more.  But the remastered sound here is wonderful!!!!


title: Somehow this has to be put onto a CD!

text: I bought this record when I was stationed at Homestead AFB, Florida, in 1968! Back in those days you sent away to the radio station (WQAM) to get it! This is one great album and I still have the vinyl but man oh man would I love to have this on CD!!!  It's such a great collection of hits from that era!!!


title: campmeeting music

text:
I loved this music.  I will buy more in the future.
I have bought many items on Amazon and have really loved
99% of them. One was disappointing because I expected
more due to not understanding what I was buying.
I will buy lots more in the future.

title: New to me

text: This is the first time I have taken a notice to Only One Of. This album is excellent and worth every penny I spent on it. I will be going back to check out their other mini albums as well. Highly recommended.


title: The Best Soap! fast shipping

text: This soap is just soap, no fragrance or chemicals to irritate skin. I've been using Green at least two decades, with good results, without irritation. It is the soap I'll use in a pinch when out of my face soap, and use on the most delicate lady parts. It used to be economical to use, then GNLD began charging way too much to ship several years ago. In the meantime, I tried a variety of soaps in an attempt to replace. Have you looked for liquid soap that is both effective and is not anti-bacterial!? The anti-bacterial is fine by the kitchen sink but don't want that in my bathroom.<br />This is a bit better priced than most re-sellers I've found, and shipping is fast. The next time I need a refill, I will look to this seller first.


title: Very excellent! Finally!

text: After 21 years I finally found this on CD format. The sound quality is superb! Nothing less than what is owed to S'Express!


title: Great CDs

text: This is a great series and I am so happy I got it! It arrived fast


title: The Best of the Best Cowboy music

text: This is a collection of songs performed by the legendary Roy Rogers , Sons of the Pioneers and the talented Dale Evans . A retrospective of Cowboy tunes and Christian songs by what has to be the greatest Cowboy group ever . The harmonies are suburb and The range of Roy's voice amazing from a sweet tenor to a rich baritone They never miss a note or blue their words . The recording is very crisp and clean I wish they would reproduce it I bought mine years ago at the Smithsonian museum store. It was sold as a classic of the type. This is truly great music . Get any of Roy and the Sons of the Pioneers . They are never so good as when they sang together .


title: Meh...Great musican but poor collection.  They cut the songs short, no jams

text: Meh...only a few good songs so you have to be in the mood to hear a whole bunch of stuff that sounds the same.  He's a great musician, but they don't showcase his riffs.  They Cut the songs short.  Poor recording quality.  Better off streaming it.  It didn't have exactly the mix I saw on youtube.  They just crammed the short version of every song.

title: 5 star album.  1 star book

text:
I bought this to support the artist, not because I'm an avid collector so it's fine.  But compared to previous albums and of other artists, this is a very shabby release.  It's set up and feels like a TeenBeat magazine from the 80's (which I kinda love)
It has fold outs on both covers but the lame designers put a fold right down his face.
The postcard is more of a score card? And is paper like off an office printer.  And for the fire that Taemin brings, the image on my trading card is very dorky.
I'm happy if this was done on behalf of the environment and using fewer trees, but the inks smell very strong, so I'm just going to assume SM cheaped out and did our man dirty (again)
Things really aren't the same now that Lee Soo Man stepped down as CEO.

title: Jacked up

text: This cd set has been altered either deliberately or accidentally, sped up , to fit more content. Is my guess. Upon requesting a refund/return I was offered a label to print. I do not have a printer. As yet that label has not been supplied. I will be more careful in the future

title: Glee Christmas CD

text: If you love Glee and Christmas carols—this CD is a holiday must!


title: Wonderful!

text:
This album is easily my favorite of 2010.  If you are a fan of the Neverending White Lights or classic The Cure (think: Disintergration), you will ADORE this album.  You will put in on repeat and listen, again and (of course) again.

The melodies are haunting without being depressing.  The lyrics lull and surprise and the instrumentation is traditional pop with enough similarities to fit the style, yet enough differences to give you a sense of listening to something entirely new.

I highly recommend this album.

title: Due diligence people! Read reviews before you buy

text: All the negative comments are rebuked by other reviewers. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. It is your fault not the record company. There are so many places to check! First clue should have been the 3 tracklists - it was obvious to me that these were NOT original versions. Also as a previous reviewer stated is on the Deadline label.  I bought this because it had a number of my favorite artists doing versions available only on other tributes etc but all in one set for less than the price of ONE of the other compilations. BTW if you're a Led Zeppelin fan many of the available tribute albums have some outstanding artists/versions on them and are worth owing separately.  Downside (if you call it that) is that if your like me I end up buying more Cds because I want to hear more of their non-cover music.


title: Four Stars

text: good cd.


title: Not recommended

text: Disappointed


This was a great band in Kansas City back in the early  '90's. I am not sure how they did not go farther than they did but this is a great rockin' album with gritty vocals. If I had to compare them to another band they would be a heavier more raw  Green Day "Doookie"


title: My daughter's favorite.

text: My daughter requested this as a gift and was very excited to receive it, and especially liked the gifts that were inside (pictures, cut-outs, etc.).

title: Steven Page work of art

text:
I love Barenaked Ladies, but I'm also one of those who has never truly enjoyed one of their albums since Steven Page and Ed Robertson split. That being said, this is (at least for now) my number one album in the BNL rotation.
Fans of BNL should buy this album only for the recording of "Running out of Ink." Hearing the into being played by violins is a great fit.
I've never heard any of the other songs before and I can't say I'm particularly attached to them. With the exception of Ink, they are all covers from other artists. Page nails them, though, as his vocalist power can. Music performed by the Art of Time Ensemble is beautiful, too, and matches perfectly to Page's vocals. The power is in every song and makes me crave for more.

title: MY FAVORITE Christmas CD

text: I bought this CD originally from a gas station several years ago. It was sitting on their display counter as a special for a very economical price. Somehow over the years I retained posession of the CD case, but the CD was missing. I moved last year and was so sad to open the case and not have these favorite songs to play while I decorated the house. I didn't really expect Amazon to carry the CD...but they did. Listening to these great songs is like the felling one gets when connecting with an old friend! The music is a variety of joyous and sacred songs.


title: THIS SET IS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF THE MILL'S BROTHERS CAREER.

text:
I had heard that one of the Mills Brothers was about to sound like a musical instrument, but when he left that instrument, he "punted," and adlibbed the sound for the performance. It was so well received, that he not only continued his music/sound making, but the other brothers did the same. This made for a very appealing change in the scope of their performances, and fans adored it.
The Mills Brothers are a remarkable part of the American musical scene, in particular,  their songs during WWII which touched and reminded people around the globe, that waiting for a loved one to return not only was heart-wrenching, but unification with wives, children, families, etc. couldn't happen until the war was won, AND ALL THE WORLD WILL BE FREE., in the song 'Til Then."
They were not limited to war songs. "DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL," pulled at family heartstrings, while 'UP THE LAZY RIVER," tempted the listener to kick back and love life.


title: Some tracks don't play

text: I tried it on my player in the house and in the car.  Some of the songs will not play.


title: Sandi Patti at her very best

text: I have always loved this woman's voice and passion.  Great collection to exemplify this.  I would easily recommend this to anyone who loves good Christian music.


title: Not really Hendrix...

text: This is not actually Hendrix at all, look it up before you drop money on it. The guitar player is nowhere near as good, this is just tainting Jimi's name. A disgrace really.


title: NOT an Import, but good, nonetheless....

text: This is an awesome song. "Eve of Destruction" is also pretty good if you're into that kind of thing, but this CD3 is NOT an import. It is an A&M American release from 1989. I've had mine since it came out.


title: Cover looks interesting....What is on here?

text: Does anybody have any idea what is on this CD? I will not pay 20 dollars for an unknown item.


title: It's missing the song Take on me

text: When I looked behind the cd, Take me on was listed on right side, saying cd 2 what's that all about?


title: I'm not sure putting a dog on your album cover is a great idea...

text: Let's see, I just listened all the way through this, so do I have anything interesting to contribute to potential buyers? All the potential sources seem to be in Germany, but it sounds pretty solidly American to me. One seller indicates it was first released in 1972, but Allmusic says 1975. It's pretty much standard mid-tempo low-key rock of that period, can't really think of a convenient label. There are several reasonably pleasant tracks, including a cover of Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood... perhaps completist fans of Nina Simone or The Animals would be interested. I preferred the quieter, slightly folk-oriented tracks to the louder ones, but nothing is really heavy. I doubt I would listen to it often (or pay a significant amount of money for it) but I'm perfectly content to possess it.  Oh, and I'm pretty sure the hound on the cover is not actually in the band. That's about it.


title: More like "The Joke".

text: I guess some folks have more money than they need.  If you buy this, I hope for your sake it is because you have some deep-seated need to own everything this otherwise fine group ever released. This is a contract-breaker. It is noise.  The Madonna song is no less stupid or poorly performed than the rest. Giving a 5 star rating to piece of (insert Neil Young epithet) like this just makes a joke of the Amazon rating system.


title: Hey boneheads, there's a place for reviewing sellers... use it!

text:
I don't want to make the same "mistake" as the other "reviewers", so I'll talk about recording itself, rather than whine.  My first Bill Nelson purchase was Futurama (bought when first released). From the start there has always been something about his music that is unique, somehow off phase a bit, as if made by a being from another dimension who maintains his presence in our world with some difficulty but tremendous grace. The actual Be Bop Deluxe recordings remain my favorites - I guess I prefer my beautiful music in coherent form. But the profusely scattered fragments of sound generously dispersed throughout his solo career stubbornly remain indispensable. OK, I'm having trouble describing it... I'm listening to Custom Deluxe right now, and the current tune sounds like Hawaiian guitar and cheesy organ wrestling with the space station. Few vocals, but every other pleasant sound in the universe.  Whatever comes next will be equally inexplicable but undoubtedly fun. I'm happy to grab anything by Bill whenever possible.

Speaking of which I had no difficulty at all obtaining this recording... use a little imagination and enterprise.  And please keep your comments about the sales process to the seller reviews.  This spot is for music only.


title: Amazing Hooks!...well produced and composed.

text:
This one is pretty hard to stop listening to. I love a pop hook, and this album continues to deliver on the artist's usual level.
Who cares what the lyrics are about? I don't!
If you like any of her other albums, you will probably be overwhelmed by this one.
Her husband's influence is apparent (and welcome) on a couple of the tracks.

title: If you love sweeping soundtracks, you'll love this

text: A very BIG soundtrack for a small production.  The quality and production of this score is impressive and is comparable to the powerful soundtracks of other sword & sandle movies (often the best part!). I would have liked to see a few more unique compositions as two primary "themes" flow through much of the soundtrack.  Great music to relax by the fire with a glass of wine!


title: Just what I was looking for

text: This CD set includes many songs I forgot about that I enjoy listening to again.  I would recommend this CD set to anyone looking for a great compilation of 80s tunes.

title: The New, Modern Version Of Fear Not Is Actually Pretty Good

text:
It's safe to say that if you liked the last E.P., you should like this.  It definitely leans toward a more "modern rock with a slight Southern groove" VS. the classic 80's hard rock vibe of their first album from 1993.  But there are plenty of crunchy guitars and lots of strong melodies.

In addition to a Blake Shelton cover ("God's Country"), there is at least one other cover here - The Who's "Join Together."

Everything here sounds extremely professional and well-produced.  Sound quality and mixing is very good, and there is some great guitar work.  The band sound like they really enjoy what they are playing, which counts for a lot.  There is also plenty of spiritual focus in the lyrics, but they are more down to earth / every-day life and less in-your-face than say, recent material from The Brave.

No bad songs.  Overall a very good release.


title: By Far Their Best Album Yet

text:
This is an intriguing old school metal band.  I was not terribly impressed by their past output but IMO this is their best effort by far.  There are some new members now, and the vocalist is still George Tsalikis from Zandelle, and his efforts stand out here.

True Strength have a classic underground 80's metal sound with a touch of 70's rock, similar to bands like Messenger, Tyrant, and Seventh Servant.  You can also hear touches of Manowar, Manilla Road, Steel Assassin, early Iron Maiden, Warlord, and Virgin Steele, plus an overall more medieval and epic feel to the new material.

The production and mixing are better on this new release and the drum sound is sharper.  The lyrics are all based on the Book of Joshua and seek to tell the story from beginning to end.

Best tracks IMO are in the middle:  Burning of Ai, The Sun Stands Still Upon Gibeon, Five Kings Are Put To The Sword, and The Southern Cities Fall.  If you like old school epic metal like that of the aforementioned bands, this album will be very much up your alley and well worth checking out.


title: Great Old School Thrash / Power Metal Reissue - Originally Released in 1990

text:
New discovery for me, and quite a good one.  Redeemer were an Australian female-fronted power metal / thrash band.  This is a reissue of their 1990 release "The Light Is Struck," which has apparently had quite a cult following over the years, although I have not heard of the band before this.  Redeemer play a classic, old school combination of U.S.-style power metal & thrash that reminds me a lot of the band Ordained Fate, or a less thrash-y version of Sentinel Beast.

The entire album is very good and some songs are better than others, in particular "Burn In Hell," "Apocalyptic Raiders," "Metallic Fury," and "Sinner" (not the Judas Priest track).  Vocalist Cindy Grimwood has a great voice for metal and reminds me of a cross between Leather Leone (Chastain) and Debbie Gunn (Sentinel Beast).  The tracks have all been remastered.  Unfortunately there is no bonus material.  I would have liked to hear more from them, like demo or live tracks.  As it is, this is a great find for those who like the kind of raw, chugging, riff-based metal that characterized the underground metal explosion of the early to mid 80's.


title: Good Music, But $14 Is A Lot For A 3-Song Demo

text:
Ritual Servant is a South Carolina Christian thrash and and this is their first demo E.P. before their official first release "Metallum Evangelii" from 2019.  Ritual Servant sounds like Slayer circa "Show No Mercy," with some early Metallica, Seventh Angel, and Testament mixed in as well.  The big difference is that Ritual Servant's lyrics all come directly from the Bible.  They basically tell stories but are not of the preachy variety.  If you like the early days of Bay Area thrash, this will totally be up your alley.

The music is solid, well-produced, and enjoyable to listen to, but it is not as complex as some of those early Slayer arrangements.  The playing is tight, and the lead guitarist - a session player named Charley Shackelford - is a stand-out .  Lead singer / rhythm guitarist Patrick Best has just the right level of snarl for this type of music, although his vocals can be a bit over the top at times.

The problem is, at $14 - $15 for a 3-song demo E.P., this is rather pricey.  The other issue is that all 3 of these songs also appear on "Metallum Evangelii," although the versions on "Metallum Evangelii" were re-recorded so these are the original demos tracks although the arrangements are pretty much the same.

This might be something that a collector would want, or if you have a lot of cash to spare and want to support the band (which is a good thing, don't get me wrong).  But if you are new to the band or just a casual fan, I would recommend starting with "Metallum Evangelii."


title: Unique-Sounding Thrash Band From The 90's

text:
Ordained Fate is an early 90’s female-fronted Christian "crossover" thrash metal band that have a lot of that old school 80's metal charm along with U.S. power metal and punk influences.  This is a newly remastered and expanded version of their 1st album for Wonderland Records, originally from 1992.

When this album originally came out, the production was a bit too polished and weak and I disregarded it.  Upon revisiting it now though, I can appreciate the band more.  I especially like the passionate vocals of Pam Scott, who is capable of unleashing a high scream that reminds me of Bob Mitchell from Attacker, another 80's band.

The remastering here helps, although the sound stills lacks the kind of bottom end that would have really benefited the music.  However the instruments are clearer and the drum sound has been cleaned up a bit.

This new disc comes in a jewel case with an 8-page booklet and their 7-song demo from 1990 as a bonus.  Those tracks are some of their best actually.  They have other demo tracks that were not included here but are on their "Demo Anthology" CD, but what is here is great stuff, especially Midnight Exodus, Light Bearer, and the epic Wonderful Love and the Iron Maiden-influenced "No Death."

Recommended if you like thrashier bands such as Believer (1st album), Deliverance, Betrayal, Detritus, Seventh Angel (1st 2 albums), Thresher, Rapture, Xentrix, Megadeth, as well as the heavier moments of Barren Cross, Sacred Warrior, and Iron Maiden.


title: Uplifting, 80's Style AOR / Arena Rock

text:
This is surprisingly good 80's-style melodic AOR / arena rock that's not very original, but is very well done and enjoyable.  It features some good song-writing and hooks, excellent musicianship, and strong vocals from both Amy Wolter and Sean Murphy, who trade off as well as sing some superb duets.

Fighter was a Melodic AOR / Arena Rock band based in Iowa.  They released 2 albums back in the 90's and this is the 1st one.  Although this originally came out in 1991, it has a very distinctive 80's flavor and would appeal to anyone who likes the lighter side of bands like Scandal, Vixen, Roxette, Pat Benatar, Richard Marx, Idle Cure, Whiteheart, Liason, Def Leppard, and Night Ranger.

This brand new 2019 remaster / reissue also includes the band's 4-song demo, along with an 8 page booklet with photos, lyrics and band history.  The demo contains the following songs:  Radio Man, Face to Face, (which were later re-recorded and put on The Waiting) and Leo and Irresponsible Evil, which were only sold at concerts.

Some tracks (Look Me In The Eye, Nice Guy, Star One) are outstanding while the rest is good but a bit on the blander side.  However as a whole the album is quite consistent and there are no tracks I wanted to skip.

Band personnel:

Billy Heller - guitars, bass
Mark Pence - keyboards, drum programming
Sean Murphy - drums, acoustic guitars, background vocals
Amy Wolter - lead, background vocals
Jim Wolter - bass, background vocals

Tracks:

Look Me in the Eye 3:58
Wishful Thinking 4:15
Shadows 3:21
Face to Face 4:19
Star One 4:50
Do What You Want 3:51
Running the Race 4:25
Nice Guy 3:32
The Waiting 3:13
Radio Man 4:47
Stop Look Listen 3:57
+ 4-Song Demo EP:
Radio Man
Face to Face
Leo
Irresponsible Evil


title: Classic Bluesy Hard Rock with Great Rhythm Section

text:
Really good, hard driving, hard-edged blues rock from a "super-group" of sorts: Robin Kyle Basauri on vocals (Die Happy, Joshua, P.K. Mitchell), Chris Howell on guitar (Fear Not), Greg Chaisson on bass (Badlands, Pat Travers, Surgical Steel, Die Happy, etc.), and Jeff Martin on drums (Racer X, Badlands, Michael Schenker Group, etc.).

This album original came out in 1994 but got largely ignored during the Grunge explosion.  Long out of print and sought after, it has finally been released in remastered format with new cover art and a new booklet with liner notes and archived photos of the band.  The remaster is not a huge  difference from the original Rugged Records release, but it does sound crisper overall and is well worth the price of a new CD if you just have the original version.

"Blood" more or less picks up where Badlands ended, and it is a good companion piece to "Dusk," the 3rd and last Badlands album.  Recommended for fans of Badlands, Led Zeppelin, Whitesnake, Glenn Hughes, and Red Dragon Cartel.


title: This Creed is Melodic Metal From West Germany

text:
This particular band named Creed (no relation to the Creed from America) was formed in 1982 in West Germany.  They were the opening band on Whitecross' 1989 German tour, and disbanded in 1995.

This is enjoyable but not essential Christian metal that stylistically lies somewhere between NWOBHM, power/speed metal and more melodic pop metal.  The band had talent but a better producer and budget could have made the song-writing stronger and tighter.

Highlights include "Broken Heart" which sounds like the band Europe, the speedy riffs of "Prayer of Praise," and the fast-paced speed metal of "In The Dark."

Pretty good overall but with tighter song-writing and sharper riffs and production, they would have made a bigger impression.  As it stands, this is still a good piece of White Metal history and is worth a listen.


title: Wow, This CD Knocked My Socks Off

text:
Truthfully, I have never been that impressed by Glenn Kaiser's (his band Rez') music or song-writing.  But when I heard this, it knocked me out of the park.  This whole CD is a fiery, intense, grooving blues-rock romp par excellence.  Blues or blues-rock can get mighty stale and boring sometimes, but this is gritty and driving, it's edgy - almost no cliched riffs or licks here, this is something that bubbles up from a creativity that is passionate and heartfelt.  The material has the swing and heft of good classic rock, like ZZ Top at times, or Led Zeppelin and even UFO.  Everything about this project is superb, from the song-writing to the production.  There is not one song here that you even remotely want to skip - it's that good.

I now have a new appreciation for Glenn Kaiser and his music.  It's a well-deserved 5 stars.


title: The Entire Recorded History Of Soldier

text:
This is a limited edition (500 copies) 2-CD anthology of the entire recorded history of the band Soldier.  The package features a 16-page booklet with band photos, archived images of things like ticket stubs, and commentary and liner notes by lead guitarist Rick Martinez.

Soldier formed in 1986 and quickly established themselves as a popular live act in the Bay Area and L.A. metal scenes, playing with the likes of Vicious Rumors, Y&T, and Vain, as well as Christian bands Barren Cross, Bloodgood, Deliverance, Guardian, Holy Soldier and Messiah Prophet.

The band recorded 2 demos - Louder Than Hell in 1986/87 and Babylon in 1988 - as well as 2 tracks that ended up on California Metal II - before calling it a day after not getting signed by a label.  These tracks have now been remastered and make up Disc 1 of this limited edition CD package.

Disc 2 features 4 never-before released demo tracks from 1992 when Soldier briefly regrouped and went back into the studio based on interest from a record label.  The rest of Disc 2 is a live show that was recorded at the first HIS Festival in Riverside, California on June 27, 1987.

I used to own the Louder Than Hell demo on cassette that I bought way back from Rick Martinez himself.  Not every song they ever did was great, but the band had a kind of intensity and enthusiasm to them that they were always able to capture on tape.  They could easily hold their own with their peers from that era, but for some reason they never got the break they were looking for from a major record label.

Nevertheless, it is great to be able to revisit their old songs in remastered sound and hear others that never got released.  Songs such as Deadly Weapons, Priceless Heart, King Of The City, and Borderline, and When I Finally See Your Face are are all top notch melodic metal with bite, hooks and drive.

Track Listing (Disc 1): "Babylon", "Louder Than Hell", "Deadly Weapons", "One Of A Kind", "Priceless Heart", "Where Have All The Children Gone", "King Of The City", "Borderline", "Angel", "First Time", "Promises", "Heart Of Stone", "Somebody New", "Angel", "King Of The City" (live), "Glory & Honor" (live), "Priceless Heart" (live), "Heart Of Stone" (live)  "Borderline", "Tears"

Track Listing (Disc 2): “When I Finally See Your Face”, “Blues For The Fallin’”, “Thru The Past Darkly”, “Down On The Killin’ Floor”, “Intro” (Live), “King Of The City” (Live), “One Of A Kind Romance” (Live), “Angel” (Live), “Glory And Honor” (Live), “Somebody New” (Live), “First Time” (Live), “Rick Solo” (Live), “Heart Of Stone” (Live), “Call My Name” (Live)


title: Early Stryper Meets Scorpions

text:
Mercy Rule (not to be confused with other bands of the same name) was a commercial hard rock band from Michigan.  They put out this one album in 1989, it got poor distribution, and they were never heard from again.  Despite some decent music and good playing - especially from the two guitarists - the thin and muddy production spoils things, but not completely.  Musically they sound a lot like early Stryper, also a lighter version of Rage Of Angels.  Vocalist Aaron Byrnes sounds at times like Klaus Meine from Scorpions, especially on the ballad "If You Only Knew."

A good producer and a bigger recording budget would have really made this a much stronger album..  Hopefully one of the reissue labels will get their hands on this and give "Overruled" a proper remaster and re-release before too long.  Best songs:  Lonely Heart, Don't Cha Know, Prodigal, If You Only Knew


title: Hard Rock Quartet from Knoxville, TN

text:
In 2006, this hard rock quartet released their first E.P., "Above The Ruins." While not that great overall, it had an intriguing modern rock-meets-post-hardcore sound, sort of like Collective Soul crossed with Helmet.

2010's "Declaration of Independence" is a much better record, more tuneful and with stronger riffs and grooves.  The Collective Soul sound is still there, but it's bookended between ringing, Sabbath-style riffs and droning, hypnotic modern rock grooves.

The song-writing here is consistent and there are no real standout tracks, but also no bad tracks.  Not much info is out there on this band, so I am not sure if they still exist.  But this is not a bad record at all, not essential but fairly enjoyable.


title: 25th Anniversary Remaster and Reissue of 1993 Hard Rock Classic

text:
In 1993, a hard rock / hair metal band called Fear Not - that used to be known as Love Life - released their self-titled CD.  It surprised many with it's razor-sharp hooks, excellent musicianship and song-writing, smart production by John and Dino Elephante, and top-notch vocals by Larry Worley.  Front to back, "Fear Not" was an instant classic that sounded like a heavier mix of the best elements of Skid Row, Guardian, and Mr. Big.  Problem is, 1993 was a bad year for traditional metal or rock.  The record eventually went out of print, and the band became another on that long list of  "Whatever happened to them, they should have been huge."

Cut to 2017.  For the album's 25th anniversary, it was finally remastered and reissued in a limited edition press on CD and vinyl by Roxx Records, with bonus tracks and a newly designed booklet.  Remastering was done by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound with new artwork and liner notes designed by Scott Waters of No Life Til Metal.  The 8-page booklet also contains lyrics and an interview with original vocalist Larry Worley.  There are also two bonus tracks included.  Like most Roxx Records reissues, this is a limited press of 500 CD's, so I am not sure when or even if Amazon will get more copies.  It was also reissued on vinyl, also a limited press of 400 copies.

In 2019, the band reformed and released a new 5-song E.P., "For The Wounded Heart."  However, instead of a return to the classic style of the 1st album, what we get on "For The Wounded Heart" is something very different.  Instead of Skid Row / Mr. Big / Guardian, what we get is more modern rock, closer to a heavier version of Nickelback, Daughtry, and Lifehouse, with some Alice In Chains crunch here and there.  It's not bad for what it is, but fans looking for the classic sound and style are going to be disappointed.

For now, it's just a miracle that this was reissued at all.  It was a sought-after item for many years after being out of print and the band having disbanded.  Thanks to Roxx Records for reissuing this and hopefully there will be a 2nd pressing if this one sold out.


title: Yes, It's The Same Band From 1993....But Not The Same Style of Music

text:
Fear Not - formerly known as Love Life - released their self-titled CD in 1993.  It was an instant classic.  Razor-sharp hooks, excellent musicianship, smart production by John and Dino Elephante, and top-notch vocals by Larry Worley.  It sounded like a heavier mix of the best elements of Skid Row, Guardian, and Mr. Big.  Problem is, 1993 was a bad year for hard rock.  The album eventually went out of print, and the band became "Whatever happened to so-and-so, they should have been big."

Cut to 2017.  The 1st album was finally remastered and reissued by Roxx Records for it's 25th anniversary.  Complete with bonus tracks and a newly designed CD booklet.  Due to the buzz surrounding the reissue, the original band (Larry Worley - Vocals and guitar, Chris Howell - Guitars, Rod Romero - Bass, Gary Hanson - Drums) got together and started recording a new 5-song E.P.  That became "For The Wounded Heart," released in 2019.

However, instead of a return to the classic style of the 1st album, "For The Wounded Heart" is very different.  Instead of Skid Row / Mr. Big / Guardian, what we get is more modern rock, akin to a heavier version of Nickelback, Daughtry, and Lifehouse, with some Alice In Chains crunch here and there.

To say that is not what we hoped for is an understatement.  But...I can't say my tastes haven't expanded over the past 25+ years.  So after adjusting to the change, the next question is, is the new material any good?

For the most part, yes.  It's a familar sound and style, but the songs are well-written and they flow nicely from track to track.  The music is muscular and assertive, and has good hooks.  The biggest change is in the vocals - New lead vocalist (Eddie Green) has that Chris Daughtry or Chad Kroeger style, and really drives the change in sound.  Lyrics mainly speak of the struggle to hang on to dignity and faith while dealing with life's challenges and one's own failings and inner battles.

Best songs are Shadow's Fade, Carry Me (basically a modern rock worship song, very well-done even if the lyrics are a bit lame) and Love Is Alright.  The single "Don't Want None (Come Get Some)" suffers from a monotonous chorus, while "Shipwrecked Hypocrite" is average but still has decent hooks.

I suppose the band hope to gain a whole new audience with this record, but it would have been nice to include at least one song in the older style, for the fans.  We'll see if this E.P. gets much traction.  For now, older fans would likely be happier checking out the reissue of the 1st album.

3.5 stars for this one.


title: Superb Remaster Of A Classic CD

text:
Bloodgood's 2nd album "Detonation" is widely considered their best and most influential work.  While I prefer the rawness of the 1st album, there is no doubt that this was an impressive follow-up and contains some of the band's most famous songs, like "Battle Of The Flesh," "Crucify," and "The Messiah.".

 Now this classic has been painstakingly remastered by the band's former guitarist David Zaffiro, who went on to become an award-winning producer, engineer and song-writer.  The remaster is not your typical "beef up the loudness factor" - this is more like a labor of love, and it shows.  The low EQ has been boosted quite a bit and the highs are sharper than before, making the songs leap out of the speakers with more force and power than ever was possible in 1987.  And not only has the sound been greatly improved, but this limited edition 2019 Special Edition CD has been expanded to include 3 live bonus tracks that were recorded in Sacramento in 1987.  This new version also features a 12-panel pullout spread of live performance photos and lyrics.

I did not hear the previous remaster by J. Powell at Steinhaus, put out a few years back on the Intense Millennium label, so I cannot compare it to that one.  That one also had different artwork and different bonus tracks.  However, if you have the original version from Frontline Records, getting this remaster would yield a huge difference in sound quality, plus the other features like the booklet.  Also, the Intense Millennium version is now out of print, so if you missed that one, this is a great opportunity to get what is likely to be the definitive version.

The tracklist is as follows:

"Battle Of The Flesh"
"Vagrant People"
"Self-Destruction"
"Alone In Suicide"
"Heartbeat (Of The City)"
"Eat The Flesh"
"Holy Fire"
"Crucify"
"The Messiah"
"Live Wire"

Bonus Tracks:
"You Lose" (Live in Sacramento 1987)
"Zaffiro Guitar Burn" (Live in Sacramento 1987)
"Vagrant People" (Live in Sacramento 1987)


title: Moody, Intense, Atmospheric Modern Gothic Metal

text:
Ohio's Biogenesis released this 5-song E.P. at the end of 2018 with very little fanfare, and it largely went unnoticed.  It is a follow-up to what is arguably their best release, 2017's impressive "A Decadence Divine."

It is hard to be creative in today's over-crowded metal scene, but Biogenesis manages to craft an interesting sound that mixes classic metal, goth, and symphonic metal, with elements of prog, power, downtuned extreme metal, black metal, and viking metal.  Keyboards are used tastefully and seek to serve the song and not be overly present.

While this E.P. is similar to "A Decadence Divine," overall it lacks the intricate shifts in mood and sound that characterized the best of "A Decadence Divine."  At least two of the songs ("Human Equilibrium" and "Angel") are also a bit too long.  The title track, however, is stunning, intense, and and is one of the best metal songs I've heard this year.

The E.P. clocks in at over 30 minutes and includes a cover song of "Flesh & Blood" by Deliverance.  If Biogenesis can create more songs like "Black Widow," they'll have a real barnstormer on their hands next time.  For now, this will be appreciated by any fans of Savatage, Jon Oliva's Pain, Metal Church, Iced Earth, Nevermore, Saviour Machine, and Deliverance.


title: Enjoyable Swedish Hard Rock / AOR

text:
Mercury Fang is a Swedish hard rock / AOR band who released two albums on Rivel Records (label headed by Christian Rivel from Narnia, Audiovision, and DivineFire).  They have disbanded since this release (their 2nd) and members have now formed a new band called Misth.

Mercury Fang play a perfectly enjoyable style of hard rock / AOR with modern production and a strong 70's and 80's flair.  There are touches of metal here and there, and some songs are heavier than others.  But for the most part the music is on the more melodic, sometimes bluesier side of hard rock, and reminiscent of the music of Glenn Hughes, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, UFO, Led Zeppelin, House Of Lords, Prophet (NJ band, "Recycled" album) with minor touches of Grand Funk, The Who, Savatage, and later Van Halen here and there.

There is nothing here that hasn't been done better before, but on the whole the album flows well and is enjoyable to listen to.  The songs are very memorable after a few listens.  I have read criticism of singer Fredrik Glimbrand, saying  the material might have benefited from a stronger singer, but his voice is unique and fits the material just fine.  Håkan Granat shreds on guitar and does a fine job, as do bass player Olle Boden and drummer Ken Savefjord.  "Ignition" is their 2nd album released in 2007, and is better overall and heavier than the first one, 2003's "Liquid Sunshine."


title: Surprisingly Good Techno Pop

text:
In my search for Christian-based New Wave from the 80's, I didn't expect to find much that was any good.  So this was a pleasant surprise.  This is very listenable, even enjoyable synth-pop from an obscure band from Portland, Oregon.

It's well-played stuff, held down only by a flat production.  Musically, I hear influences ranging from Depeche Mode,  Devo, The Motels, The Church, Wang Chung, The Fixx, Mr. Mister, and The Monroes.  The entire album is very good and I found no tracks I wanted to skip.  Lyrics are subtle and intelligent and mostly speak of longing and every-day life issues.

With better production I've no doubt this would have gotten a lot more attention in 1987 when it was released.  Even today, it certainly deserves a remix/remaster and a reissue.


title: Aggressive Doom Metal with Seattle Grunge Elements

text:
Goliath was a doom / stoner metal band formed in 1999  by Mick Rowe (Midnight Orchestra, Tempest).  Mick is the brother of Guardian's lead singer, Jamie Rowe.  "The Gate" was released in 2001, and was eventually reissued in 2008 with two bonus tracks.  The version sold on Amazon. however, is the original release from The Music Cartel label.

While the song-writing here is inconsistent, there are some really good moments here.  Mick Rowe has a penchant for writing catchy riffs, some of which groove like a good Tony Iommi riff.  In fact, the best material here seems to be a hybrid of the doom crunch of bands like Black Sabbath and Place of Skulls, crossed with the heavier grunge of bands like STP, Alice In Chains, and Gruntruck.  The rhythm guitar drips with heaviness and just the right crunch for good doom / stoner metal.

3.5 stars overall.  Best songs:  Hurricane, Can't Fight, Dear Aleister, The Dark One, I Am.  The bonus tracks on the 2008 reissue but not included on this version (The Cage and War Dance) are not so much doom metal as more alternative rock, good but not essential.


title: It's 1983 All Over Again!

text:
Ritual Servant sounds like Slayer circa "Show No Mercy," with some early Seventh Angel, Metallica and Testament mixed in as well.  The big difference is that Ritual Servant's lyrics all come directly from the Bible.  They basically tell stories but are not of the preachy variety.

The music is solid, well-produced, and enjoyable to listen to, but it is not as complex as some of those early Slayer arrangements.  The playing is tight, and the lead guitarist - a session player named Charley Shackelford - is a stand-out with some excellent tone and vibrato.  Lead singer / rhythm guitarist Patrick Best has just the right level of snarl for this type of music, although his vocals can be a bit over the top at times.

The album has no bad tracks, and I really like the overall sound of it.  However, it seems to lack a really killer song or even some killer riffs of the type that put the aforementioned Bay Area bands on the map.  The main issue is in the choruses, which can be a bit monotonous or awkwardly constructed at times.  Other than that, there are no tracks I wanted to skip.  The band also makes good use of doom metal riffs and atmospheres.

Ritual Servant is from South Carolina and this is their 2nd release (there was an E.P. before this).  I would say that if you like the early days of Bay Area thrash, this will totally be up your alley.  Especially if you like the sound of early Slayer but don't want the occult-themed lyrics.  I look forward to hearing more material from them in the future.


title: German Power Metal - Cover Versions of White Metal Classics

text:
Treasure Seeker was a one-off collaboration of power metal musicians from the bands Seventh Avenue, Lightmare, and Chryztyne.  This was their only project, which consists of 9 songs - 1 original, and 8 cover versions of White Metal classics and lesser-known tunes from Saint, Stryper, Leviticus, Bloodgood, Rez Band, Jerusalem, Force 3, Bride, and Creed (Germany).

The 1st song - the one original - is typical German style power metal, meaning very melodic but speedy metal with soaring, vibrant vocals, dueling neoclassical guitar work, and an energetic, "happy" vibe to it.  The covers are all well-executed, and it is clear that the band enjoys the tunes they are playing.  Being a German power metal band, they even give the tunes a bit of extra power and speed and even add that "happy" vibe to them, giving even the more serious originals a bit of a lighter tone.

The CD was released in 1998 and quickly went out of print, so few metal fans even know it exists.  And since a few of the songs they cover also come from CD's that are out of print, that makes this a good sampling of the glory days of white metal.  Personally, I would have liked to see the band put out more original material, but as this is all they left us, at least it is enjoyable for what it is.


title: Strong Melodic 80's Metal With Hooks and Attitude

text:
I had heard about this band back in the mid-90's, but this album was hard to find and there was no internet music scene back then.  Not to be confused with the L.A. hard rock band Eden, this Chicago band started as Scream In Eden until 1992 when they changed their name to Eden and eventually released this first full length debut album.

The lack of promotion combined with the grunge scene prevented the album from being noticed.  However, in 2003 the album was digitally remastered and reissued by Retroactive Records with a new cover.  Later, in 2008, the band returned to their original name Scream In Eden and re-issued the album again via Z-Rock Records with a new title named “Original Sin."

Song-writing here is surprisingly strong and solid, although nothing  especially original.  When I listen I am reminded of bands like Ratt, Tesla, early Great White, Black Crowes, Stryper, Fear Not, Poison, Whitecross, Warrant, Edgar Winter Group, and Vyper, among others.  Guitar work is by none other than shred wizard Rex Carroll (Whitecross, King James, Rex Carroll Band.  production is strong and clear, although not as full by today's standards.  Vocals by Joe Dokken (no relation to Don) are strong and remind me at times of Terry Ilous (XYZ, Great White) or Paul Cawley, original singer of Guardian.

The album is solid from start to finish.  There is no clear standout tracks, although the opener, "Forgotten Child," and "It's A Shame" have a slight edge over the rest.  The only track I didn't care for was "Tomorrow's Yesterday."  Overall, a surprisingly good album and I hear that the band may still be together, although I can't confirm that.


title: Good Sampler

text:
One of the first Christian heavy metal albums (vinyl) I ever bought back in 1988.  4 of the 6 bands went on to bigger and better things - Deliverance, Barren Cross, Mastedon, and Guardian - while Hero disappeared and Neon Cross is still around but never achieved the popularity of the bigger bands.

Like most compilations, there are hits and misses here.  The best songs are the first 3 as well as the Deliverance song "Attack."  After the first 3 songs, the quality drops off somewhat, although I only feel compelled to hit the skip button during the Hero songs.

There are better samplers of 80's Christian metal out there, but this nonetheless has that "home grown" feel that is reminiscent of those early Metal Massacre compilations.  For that reason, it is a good piece of history from metal's heyday.


title: "You hear the loud guitar, It's sounding good so far" (from "Master Of The Metal")

text:
After releasing the unlistenable "Rock The Flock" in 1984, Messiah Prophet returned in 1986 for "Master Off The Metal." A much better album, this one was noteworthy because few Christian bands were playing this style of music back then.

Musically this is fairly straight-ahead 80's commercial metal with a bit of a 70's vibe. M.P. have a sound somewhat similar to older Def Leppard, but without the latter band's production wizardry and (of course) budget. They also sound a bit remniscent of fellow Christian bands Leviticus (Sweden), Zion (South Dakota), and Stryper (California).

Lyrics are incredibly bold on top of some catchy melodies, which I think is why this one has endured as a favorite with the faithful over the years. The strongest songs here are the aggressive opener "Hit & Run," the title track, the riff-heavy "Fear No Evil," power ballad "Battle Cry," and closer "Voice That's Calling." The rest are not musically as strong but have their moments, particularly "For Whom The Bell Tolls," whose lyrics are based on Psalm 23.

Overall this album may not be the best musically from this time period, but it is considered a classic in the Christian metal world and it certainly has it's charms. I listen to some of the songs now and again, as it brings back memories of when I used to publish an underground heavy metal fanzine (I also reviewed this in 1986, in my fanzine).


title: Really Good Melodic, Melancholy Goth Metal with Symphonic Touches

text:
Interesting band - I just found out about them from Keven Crother's heavy metal podcast.  Originally formed by front man Chaz Bond (Jacob's Dream, Human Paradox), Biogenesis has been around awhile but not consistently, having broken up and reformed numerous times now.  From what I can tell, this is their third album, since their first release in 2001.

What is the music like?  It is a satisfying mix of sounds and styles that work well together.  Melodic, heavy, dark, intense at times, lots of depth.  Stylistically, they are a mix of classic heavy metal, goth, and symphonic metal, with some elements of prog, power, downtuned extreme metal, black metal, and viking metal.  Keyboards are used tastefully and seek to serve the song and not be overly present.  Overall, I hear elements of bands like Metal Church, Iced Earth, Nevermore, Crematory, Dark Tranquility, Disturbed, Saviour Machine, Queensryche, Deliverance, and Tourniquet.

Most of the album is mid-paced, and they are not afraid to let the music "breathe" at times, with moody, melancholic instrumental passages instead of fast bursts of sound.  Due to these intricacies in mood and sound, this album is not really best suited for casual or background listening.  it is more an album to be heard and experienced.  The band even do a credible cover of "Land Of Confusion" by progressive rock band Genesis.

Overall, I think the album would have benefited from some more variety in pace, as most of it is mid-paced.  Still, this is a band that will be greatly appreciated by those who like an artistic approach to their metal, with lots of dynamics.  Well worth checking out if you like dark but melodic music with a heavy, gothic vibe.  Once the album was over, I wanted to hear more, which is a very good sign.


title: Noise

text: Don't be fooled by the title. This is far out music. Electronic and vocal sound collage. Artists include Ned Rothenberg, John Zorn, Christian Marclay, Tom Cora and Ben Neill.  Good interesting noise.


title: Five Stars

text: Item delivered just as described.


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome record, my uncle Pete Carr plays guitar on it


title: It might seem like a weird combination but somehow they make it work ...

text: Black Sabbath covers infused with Latin funk and played to perfection. It might seem like a weird combination but somehow they make it work and work quite well. (I left off a star since it's an EP of cover tunes rather than originals.) The band is from Austin, Texas and they also play their own top-notch originals as "Brownout" and "Grupo Fantasma."


title: A Diamond Lost in the Sands of Time

text:
In 1971 Stephen Stills, during one of the hiatus periods of CS&N/CSN&Y (I could never figure out at any given time who was playing in the band and who was not) pulled together some rock and rollers, sort of, wrote a bunch of songs in different genres, R&R, Latin, country, folk, and released them in vinyl in a 2 record set.  The main lineup includes the good old standbyes Calvin Samuels (bass) and Dallas Taylor (drums), and Byrds refugees Al Perkins (pedal steel and guitars) and Christ Hillman (guitars) , rounded out with Joe Lala (percussion) and Paul Harris (keyboards).

There are any number of online reviews which point out that this could have been a mess, but they also describe the work as brilliant.  And, it is.  Stills was on a roll during this period, both writing songs and performing.  He was the heart and soul of any group of musicians he played with until the rock and roll lifestyle caught up with him.  But the latter was in the future.

There are any number of highlights.  "So Begins the Task" has been described by David Crosby as his favorte Stills song.  "It Doesn't Matter", "Johnny's Garden", "Bound To Fall" and "What To Do" are all sterling.  The musicianship is superb, especially Al Perkins on pedal steel, perhaps the only stringed guitar that Stills doesn't (?)  play.  By the end of 1973, Manassas had disbanded after two studio albums and two tours.  CSN&Y reunited and are probably on their thousandth reunion by now, and the rest, well they all went on to other ventures, albeit forgotten ones by now.  I guess the same could be said about Manassas, the band and the body of work.


title: Korean Dark Metal

text:
I bought this CD way back in 2005 from Lost Disciple Records online store based in MA from owner Rich Fatelo.
Back in the day, Lost Disciple was an underground Black/Death metal label that released many USBM bands such as
Averse Sefira, and Noctuary among others.

This trio from South Korea really impressed me. They play a style which I would describe as Dark Metal with Black and
Death metal thrown into the mix. The vocals are low growls, but are catchy as are the songs. These guys are very
competent muscicians, make no mistake about it. I cannot find any other releases from Moonshine here in the US.
If you manage to find a copy, hold on to it.


title: A rare find

text: I ordered this cd based on other customer feedback I read about this cd. I’ve been a fan of Generation X and Billy Idol and always wanted to know what Mark Laff and Derwood Andrews did after leaving the band. I was very surprised at how good the album is; I play this cd every day. Mark and Derwood wrote some brilliant music. Billy messed up by letting them go. This is my favorite cd at the moment and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves rock and roll and is a fan of punk


title: Great music at a great price

text: I ordered this cd because I am a fan of the band and I wanted this for my music collection. The cd played well and I thought the sound quality was exvellent. Great cd at a great price!


title: Five Stars

text: I liked everything about the cd. I was very happy with my purchase!


title: I like it!!

text: A local thrift shop had a stack of these cds near the exit and they were free. It's the perfect music to listen to when you need cheering up or motivation. I'm glad I took it.


title: Awesome

text: Everything you need to play blues. I wished there were a few more formats, more 8-bar blues, 24-bar blues, but it covers all the basics. Fantastic.


title: Soothing melodies by a master of the harp.

text: I've grown very fond of this record. I don't remember how it came to me, but am glad it did. Luckily it's in great condition, the scratches would be audible since it's just harp. Nicanor Zabaleta (what a nice name) is amazing and brings to life these beautiful, ancient melodies. I've listened to this music many times through the years, always with pleasure. If you like renaissance music, I think you too will love this record.


title: A Beautiful Mature Album

text: I really can't believe some of the other reviews for this album. I've been a Spooky Tooth fan since I was a kid (I'm getting ready to turn 65) and I've been collecting music for 50 years and have over 3,000 CDs. No this album isn't done by the kids of the 70s, it's a group of old friends getting together and putting a lot of love into what they do best. I just recently got around to grabbing this album and it's wonderful. Lots of heart and soul. Personally I think this is some of the best guitar work Luther Grosvenor has done, very tasteful.


title: This is a beautiful set, grab when you can

text: This is one of the jewels of my collection (over 3000 CDs). Nobody puts an Orchestra through it's paces like Lutoslawski and this set is really the prime set to get (I have several different ones). This is the man's musical biography put together with love. I'm no musical expert but I love Lutoslawski and this set is my favorite of my Lutoslawski collection. It will tear your head off.


title: Great Stuff

text: a great deal on some very interesting music, drive the people at work nuts with it. I'm a big fan of their music and have everything I can fine by them and this set really helped fill in some gaps


title: Vibrant and Fresh

text: a wonderful vibrant recording showing a freshness in a Magma vein. Well worth checking out and very enjoyable for those of us who like Zuehl, but don't mistake me they are not a Magma clone but have a sound all their own


title: great job

text: Get a tall glass of rum...I mean tea. Put your earbuds in and your feet up in a hammock and as the song says Drift Away. Mr. Redfield and company have done an excellent job with telling a new story about Sinbad. The music is lush and the voicework is very  good. Mr. Redfield and company puts their hearts into everything they do and this certainly won't disappoint.


title: Good

text: good product.


title: What a surprise!

text:
They opened for the Who in Nashville - the RS reviewer on hand shares my opinion that Lukas (& POTR) are waaay too talented to just open shows . His guitar work is exemplary, audacious, and not derivative of any particular player. Yeah, he does channel Jimi but in his own style.
To see him in action catch A Star Is Born because he was the driving force and backing band in that film.
Yeah - he does sound like Willie and I'm fine with that!  Grab his two latest CDs and you'll thank me!

text: Great album with good cards and extras inside, awesome album!


title: Very professionally done, glad I bought it

text: The book and cards are beautiful and solid cardstock, the only complaint is that it is a bit scary pulling out the CD, it is a bit tight, but I have the digital version of the music anyways.


title: All the popular Queen songs and then some.

text: Really, what more can I say?  It's the best of Queen all in one set.  This plus a few cherry picked albums (Flash Gordon SDK, It's a Kind of Magic, etc.) and you'll have a solid start on a Queen collection.


title: So Happy

text: My favorite version of the cd, would have liken to gotten Tao as the cover, but Chen works fine, been listening all day long since I got it


title: Yay

text: Love this group, one of my favorites, and got one of my favorite person as the cover too :P


title: Learn Morse Code...

text: Got this about the same time as I took & passed my Technician exam.  Even though Morse Code is no longer required...I got this product to learn to use it...since it was highly rated here & other places.


title: Beautiful

text: The movie "Until September" certainly has a few weak points.  Much of the dialogue is silly, for one thing.  However, two things save this film from dismissal :  the chemistry between the two stars, Thierry Lhermitte and Karen Allen, and the beautiful soundtrack composed by the late John Barry.  The romantic strains set the mood of 1980's Paris to perfection.  The soundtrack stands alone as a CD worth relaxing to.  I just wish it was longer.

title: Cute but brittle

text: It's cute, but it broke the first time it took a fall (out of the refrigerator, so it wasn't a big drop).

text: Not Andy Hughes' Yummy, but the track is still good. I ended up giving it to a friend of mine.


title: Daft Punk

text: I love Daft Punk, I love this album but it never got to me. It wasn't stolen from my mailbox because you need a key to open it. I don't think it even shipped. I'm just glad for refunds.


title: The Gorillaz Plastic Beach

text: It's the Gorillaz. You either like them or you don't. I do. So far of all their albums I like this one the best.

title: Um, it’s Taemin

text: What can I say about this? Buy it and love it!


title: Lay is the China Sheep!

text: I just love Lay Zhang! This is the 1st CD by him I’ve bought, and I have to say, it’s amazing. I was impressed with the variety of songs and his voice. Hearing him sing in English is so sweet. This came with a novel sized photobook. It’s hard cover too. It’s so big, I had to put it aside part way through!! Read it like a novel :)<br />Want to mention. I miss him in EXO!


title: A Must Have

text: I honestly think this is one of EXO's best CDs. I got a Lay photocard. The photobook isn't as good as the newer ones, but it's nice to see the idols in each era. They are definitely collectors items!


title: Must buy!

text: This is one of my favorite EXO CDs. Came with a photocard but nothing else, which I knew and I'm fine with bc I have so many posters and photocards already. I think this was a good price and had a fun photobook!


title: Get this!!

text: I just love NCT, all the units, all members. This is an amazing compilation of songs from NCT 2018. I enjoy, mostly, all the songs. If I was going to buy one CD, it might be Regulate, but this is my 2nd choice!


title: Monster!

text: I bought this CD just for Monster. However, the CD is a good length with quite a few vocal or I'd say mostly vocals songs. I prefer more rap in my K-pop. Artificial Love is on here so, that is a plus. It came with a photocard and a very large poster. The only issue is the poster is worn at some of the creases. Shopping was fast. Another great SM product.


title: I REALLY LIKE THE SONG

text: I REALLY LIKE THE SONG, "STREET CORNER PREACHER" WHICH IS FEATURED ON THIS CD. THIS IS THE FOURTH AMOS LEE CD THAT I HAVE BOUGHT. THIS WAS RECORDED 7 YEARS AGO AND HIS SONGWRITING IS AS POWERFUL AS IT IS TODAY. AMOS HAS GROWN WISER SUBSEQUENTLY MAKING HIS MUSIC EVEN RICHER.


title: Better than his last

text: I was glad he brought back his Trunk Muzik, his last album was too commercial and not really playable but this is great.


title: One of the true COUNTRY voices out there,

text: Pure, real Country, from a singer who sings wonderfully.  Deep, rich voice, great songs.  Real as it gets.  You won't be sorry if you order this.

title: Cowsill Talent As Good As Ever

text:
A wonder mix of power pop, "Americana" roots rock and alt-country from four of the original-era Cowsills (Bob, Paul, John and Susan) recorded circa 1993 but not released until 1998.  Siblings Bill and Barry did not participate and mom Barbara passed away in 1985.  They are joined by bassist Robby Sharf and occasional others.

The musicianship and production are outstanding and the vocal harmonies are great as always.  At times, I'm reminded a bit of the Traveling Wilburys' albums, though the Cowsills are undeniably superior vocalists.  In particular, Susan's lead vocals on several tracks shine as they subsequently would with the Continental Drifters and on her solo albums.

As with so much of the Cowsills' post-1971 work, this one seems to have flown under the commercial success radar.  It's worth your attention.

title: Must have!

text: A neglected classic. Before the best iteration of Fleetwood Mac there was this album.  Truly a must for any rock and roll lover.  Lindsey and Stevie were magical!


title: Sting strikes again!

text: The first CD in this 2 CD set may be my favorite Sting album ever.  The second disc is good too but "This Cowboy Song" ruins the mood and tone of the rest of the set and is frankly a song I could have done without entirely.  Still, the rest of the songs here are beautifully executed and get better and better with repeated listening.  If you like Sting in his more mellow mood, you'll enjoy this album, if you can find a copy.


title: Fantastic!!!

text: Don't know much more i can say.  This music is the really the BEST.  i have a lot of Die Flippers over the years, even back when most were on cassette tape, but this is really supurb and the price was so reasonable and fast shipping.  Could not ask for more.

title: Soundtrack Fun

text: The House with a Clock in its Walls is a fantastic film with suspense and spine chilling moments for the entire family. The soundtrack adds to the drama and suspense like any good movie score. The composer has utilised a wide palate of unusual instruments, but best of all, a large Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ, a sound rarely heard since the 1950s. It is blended in well with the symphonic score throughout the film. And THEN comes the closing credits, where the composer and organist turn the Mighty Wurlitzer loose for a five minute romp featuring themes from the rest of the score. It makes a dedicated cinema goer long for a return to the good old days when the organ played at every show. This cd captures the experience in all its sonic glory. What fun!!!


title: Excellent, even for someone who just likes to hear ...

text: Excellent, even for someone who just likes to hear good  music without meditating.  It puts me in a very relaxed mood, and reminds me that there is beauty in the world.


title: what might have been .  .  .

text: It is difficult to rate this set.  In the secondary roles we have a competent lyric/coloratura and bass-baritone, while in the major roles we have Domingo at his prime singing splendidly, and in the title role, Caballe, who has exactly the sort of voice the part needs and she makes some beautiful sounds in it.  But the recording quality is mediocre at times and Caballe is under-prepared, relying too much on the prompter, who does everything but yell; Caballe sings some of the right lyrics and does a lot of indistinct vocalizing when she can't remember or hear the lyrics.  It's a great pity because we do hear enough to know that this would have been a great role for her; no one else since Ponselle, not even Norman, has sounded quite so at home in the vocal writing.  I wonder if she was originally scheduled for the never formally released studio set that ultimately starred Arroyo and has eventually come out on Myto.  It wouldn't surprise me since Caballe's cancellations on studio recordings of Un Ballo (Muti), I Vespri (Levine), and La Forza (Gardelli) were all passed along to Arroyo when C. backed out unexpectedly on those projects.  At any rate, if you are interested in either this opera or Caballe's singing the set is still worth a listen.  Otherwise, go for the Myto set with Arroyo or the live set with Norman and Muti.  The DVD with Verret and Domingo is also worthwhile, though V.'s voice to me still sounded like a pushed-up mezzo and consequently some of the music's allure is lost.


title: Five Stars

text: Lovely, listenable music.


title: Special Instrumental Hymns, Nice Arrangements

text: This CD set represents one of the best collections of instrumental "favorite hymns" I have encountered in my many years.  It has 3 CDs and a total of 50 hymns set in wondrous arrangements for orchestra that are played exceptionally.  I especially enjoy listening to them as I read. They are quiet and very pleasant.  I do most heartily recommend this set for anyone who enjoys quiet instrumental spiritual music.  It is a pity they are no longer available in the regular Amazon music library..  I purchased this set from a used CD vendor and was pleased to do so. The quality is excellent.


title: Lilith Fair

text: I had this CD a long time ago and lost it and have been searching for it forever it seems. Finally, it popped up and I snagged it. This CD is the only Lilith Fair that I've been able to find that isn't live. I like the live ones but this is just straight music from some of the Lilith Fair artist. GREAT!


title: His music never misses

text: Beautiful music.


title: Very cool history picture book with extras in a mini-amp collectors box; Great music too!

text: Very cool little collection in a mini-amp box, mixes both periods of AC/DC, the book is worth the cost to me, but I wish all the music was on vinyl records except for the dvds obviously.


title: Not what was ordered!

text: This item was listed as an actual vinyl album, not a CD copy and its total price was $40 dollars; the cheap CD copies sell for $7.99 to $15.00 maximum; even the authorized production copies on David Allan Coe's real website sell for only $15.00! This is a rip-off and I would not buy from this seller! I contacted the seller and he sent an email stating that somewhere in the add it states that it is a copy of the album and that is his justification! The majority of the add, and the description by the price states Vinyl (which means a Vinyl album), which is what I was looking for as the original vinyl albums sold for $45.00 on the authorized website! I believe that this seller did this on purpose to deceive customers!


I don't remember quite how I found out about Ray Scott (Probably Country Weekly).  I went to Amazon to listen to some of his songs and fell in love with him.  His voice is awesome.  They had quite a story about him in the magazine.  He is an independent.  I am not sure what all that means but I am going to find out!  I love country music and will be purchasing more of his cds.


title: Found - at last

text:
In the 1950s, I was a history major student at Kansas State University. I bought the companion book/recording, The Confederacy. I could afford only the one. I became a teacher and used it every year in my American History classes.
I always wanted The Union, but could never find it. And now - I have it! (Alas, I am retired, so will not be sharing it with
hundreds of young adults.) I think the recording had never been played...the book has only the normal wear from being 60+ years old. Happy me!

text: Great collection of songs, if you like The Hoff!


title: GREAT

text: VERY REVEALING AND ENGAGING


title: Awesome Album

text: I used to own this album back in the eighties.  Unfortunately I was foolish and sold it.  I remember that this was an awesome album.  The recording is a bootleg and sounds like one.  But, they kick butt on this one and I really love the track list because it's not all the usual songs.  Only downside is that it's not a long recording.  Can't ever be enough Led Zeppelin.


title: BEST BAND EVER !!

text: This is Led Zeppelin live !!  Also it's a bootleg.  Meaning you haven't heard it before.  To me that equals a must have.  It sounds great and they kick major ass as always.  The only bad thing I can say is the first song starts half way in.  But, I knew that before buying it because I read other reviews.  A must have !!  Rock on Zeppelin fans.....

title: with guest vocal by Annette

text:
As much as I have always loved Annette, this album was a big disappointment to me. It is titled ANNETTE on CAMPUS with THE WELLINGTONS and THE ALL AMERICAN CHORUS.

It shoud have been titled THE ALL AMERICAN CHORUS on Campus with The Wellingtons and special guest vocals by annette.

Annette only sings on a few tracks. Whether or not you enjoy this album will depend on how much you enjoy hearing school songs. I didn't.

It has a sexy cover photo of lovely Annette at about age 21.

This was a big rip-off from Buena Vista Records.

Not suprisingly, it has never been on CD.

You can find an inexpensive copy on eBay.


title: Dorothy sings Ragtime and Gaslight Era songs.

text:
What a shame that this LP has not been re-released on CD as yet!

Dorothy had hits with her two Roaring 20's LPs and so Warner Bros. decided to try her with songs from an even earlier era. On this LP Dorothy is accompanied by Joe "Fingers" Carr.

These songs are timeless. "After the Ball"; "Alice Blue Gown"; "By the Light of the Silvery Moon"; "I've Got Rings on my Fingers", etc.

All Wonderful.

Please contact Sepia Records and ask them nicely to release this album on CD.

A remarkable live double CD album with Tom at the peak of his career. The concert is fully recorded and one feels like he or she is really at the show.

title: It works!

text: I'm 54 years old and in a matter of weeks, I have been waking up in the morning with mi right middle finger completely contracted and locked up. I've had to use my other hand to painfully straighten it out. My finger is fine throughout the day. I put this on at night and it prevents my finger from locking up.<br />This will not cure this problem but certainly eliminates the discomfort in the morning.


title: Love it!

text: Perfect condition, great price, made excellent gift for that Ed fan in your life


title: Doesn’t do what it was advertised as, singing Santa not dancing Santa.

text: [[VIDEOID:192d62d1b03365cea3c2565cd33cd72d]] Does not dance, does not move at all, it only sings, two different songs.<br />Update: After calling amazon customer service and complaining about the Santa that did not work correctly. The company refunded me my money and told me to keep that Santa.

title: Incredible voice!!!

text: I had never heard of Bouke till five months ago when I stumbled on his music while searching for Elvis tribute artists. I’ve listened to little else since. His voice is so rich and beautiful, so incredibly powerful, and he’s an incredible performer. I love all of his music, which he writes quite a bit of himself. I also LOVE his Dutch albums. In a few months, Bouke has become my favorite singer of all time.


title: Not the Perfect Pillow

text: I got two and both my wife and I slept on them. The first night she thought it was great. I was not comfortable. The pillow has two heights if you turn it 180 degrees, but neither height worked for us. I awoke each morning with a headache that returned every afternoon. These headaches stopped right away when I quit using the pillow. We both still tossed and turned during the night. We really wanted this to be the perfect pillow and the design looks right for back and side sleepers which we both are. I do have to say that the height and support on each end for side sleepers seemed right.

text: GREAT songs! All the original sounds, not the "remake" of the greatest songs back in the day! The CD has an excellent quality sound, too!


title: While I knew this was used, I do believe ...

text: While I knew this was used, I do believe it was listed as "very good" condition. Ha! It lasted maybe a month. It was very hard to rewind or even FF. Sometimes it did, but most times it wouldn't. Then on some songs, the sound got weird, sounding "distorted".  I just ordered and received another one from another seller, and this is was brand new....still in cellophane!
