title: A fascinating but noisy work

text: This is a collaborative composition with a rather interesting history. Between June and September, 1984, Otomo Yoshihide, in Tokyo, and Carl Stone, in San Fransisco, sent tapes -DAT, which I assume means "Digital Audio Tape," though I dunno -- back and forth of material they'd worked on. They used each other's material as the basis for their own compositions. The collaboration's initial thrust was provided by Otomo-san, who "made a scrap from records and CDs with (his) 4-channel hard-disk recorder," dealing with "Mao... post-communism East Asia... and big money and consumption -- Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea..." This piece, entitled "Direction of the Tale," a noisy but richly textured piece, appears first on the disk. The second cut is by Stone -- Otomo-san invited him to "use any kind of electric, acoustic or computer techniques, like remixing, sampling, loops... or additional recordings, cut-ups, slowing down or speeding up, MIDI control -- in any kind of way. I don't mind if you change it completely and I can't find my original material." The reworking not only provides the disc with its second cut, but gives Otomo-san raw material to work with, using techniques such as those he's listed, to make the third track. The booklet for the CD nicely reproduces the correspondence that accompanied the tape exchange (from which I took the above quotes). You get to hear these men thinking about each other's music and reinterpreting it, making, needless to say, very substantial changes, but remaining largely within a sort of noisy flow that reminds me in ways, though it's a completely different project, of Cage's ROARATORIO. It's intoxicating to listen to, but difficult, and not for the musically timid. Still, I recommend it -- the process is as interesting as the music, and in some ways, IS the music.


title: Maybe The Best and Truest Of All Time

text: Hemingway wrote about trying to write one true sentence. Maybe there’s one true music too. And in this now lasting live performance from fifty years ago, I think that The Allman Brothers band tapped into it…..Statesboro Blues, Stormy Monday, Elizabeth Reed, Whipping Post, Greg Allman’s cell door clank Blues wail, the call-and-response and dust devil harmonies of  Duane Allman’s Blues-Rock and Dickie Betts’ more jazz inflected, guitars, base throb, thundering and trains-in-the train yard rattling percussion. Literature and Music – sometimes they seem like two wings of an Eagle or a Dove. Remember Huck and Jim? – Mark Twain’s iconic figures. This is the mood of Huck and Jim free and easy on a raft, stars above, drifting down the Mississippi, deep surge underneath, swirling, spinning, almost sinking, jetting back up to regain the surface . . .  In the history of Rock, this is it, the Big Muddy of all performances. The Allman Brothers and Mark Twain sure do seem to speak from the same place, something the country seems to have lost but is always reaching for, something half  remembered, half dreamt…..half dreamt and half turned to nightmare through Slavery and slaughter. Whatever it is, and in a way no other band has every done, you hear it here. One true sentence one true music one on three true nights. Live At Fillmore East…...The Allman Brothers Band.


title: Awesome

text: Red Devils still got it!  This is not quite as “cleanly “ recorded as King King, but the “feel” is still here. Size still shreds on guitar and Big Pete does a great job on vocals and especially harmonica. Lester’s shoes are not easy to fill.

title: Humphrey Davis and his band helped make my first trip to New Orleans UNFORGETABLE!

text:
Last May I attended a conference in New Orleans.  I had never been there before but had seen the scenes on TV and had heard all the stories so I was excited to experience it for myself.  One of the activities I was truly looking forward to was to enjoy some New Orleans JAZZ.  My friends and I headed out one evening to Bourbon Street to check out the clubs and just happened to wander past this one "joint" on the strip.  The music was blaring out into the street and it just sounded too professional, too good, to be coming from some small club.  The band sounded Big Time and the music was sweet.  The cover was steep for Bourbon Street ($5) but as we soon found out it was well worth the investment.  It was still fairly early so there were plenty of seats at the bar.  I grabbed my outrageously priced beer and sat down to listen.  Well Humphrey Davis, JR. and his band put on one of the best performances I have EVER HEARD in a bar moreless a paid concert in a much larger venue.  The music was pure GOLD.  Thank God they were selling CDs right there in the bar because I just had to have one.  When I got back home to Virginia I listened to this CD (A Little Jazz, a Little Blues...) and it has quickly become my FAVORITE music to listen to on a peaceful Saturday or Sunday morning, in the evening as I'm trying to relax or when we're having guests over for dinner.  I can't tell you how PLEASED I am to find it here on Amazon.com so that I can purchase more copies to share with family and friends.  This is not one of those BS reviews.  I have No Affilliation to this band, this is completely unbiased.  However, now that I am a HUGE FAN, I will tout the virtues of this band and CD to everyone I meet and will purchase their other CD because if it is half as good as this one I am going to be Very Pleased.

If you like New Orleans Jazz or if you just like Great Music....BUY THIS CD!  You will be glad you did.

title: Raven walked through fire and released excellence

text: The Gallagher brothers John and Mark have released another great Raven album. It is heavy and catchy as the other reviewer stated. Against the Grain, Breaking You Down, Walk Through Fire, etc. the whole album is remarkable. I also got the Japan with sticker and 2 extra songs, well worth the money. If you like All For One, Nothing Exceeds Like Excess, Stay Hard and every other incredible Raven album you need Walk Through Fire. I have always believed these two brothers are just as talented on bass and guitar as the Van Halen brothers.

title: Elated! I found this CD!

text: I purchased this CD when it was first released. I moved and could no longer find it! I've been longing to listen to it again. It's one of those you need to close your eyes while listening to because you want to soak in every sound and feel every emotion. Some reviewers were upset a song list isn't provided. Take it from someone who has listened to it over and over and willing to spend money to purchase it again, you won't be disappointed!


title: Great duo CD

text: In my humble opinion, these are 2 wonderful artists who are very underrated.  I’ve been listening to David Buskin since the seventies and Robin Batteau when he started to record together. These guys deserved more airtime but  we’re not given enough. Great CD with very fine music.


title: excellent combination of beautiful cello music

text: The cd arrived early in very good condition.  Boccherini and Danzi both composed romantic music, especially for the cello. I am glad to have this cd. Thank you. Marilyn Pardine


title: A reliable and helpful dealer is most important in a transaction.

text: I thought this cd had an imperfection because the music kept skipping. I planned to return it. I have played it several times, and the music is clear. I believe something, like dust had caused the error. I have decided to keep it. I am sorry for any inconvenience. I think Davydov's music is lovely. I appreciate your attention to the situation. Thank you. Marilyn Pardine


title: If you like Chopin and chamber music this outstanding trio is sure to please you.

text: There is very little Chopin music that I do not like. The sound quality and clarity of tone is exceptional, and I really enjoyed the music. Thank you. Marilyn Pardine

title: Nostalgia yes, but Gospel Seed instrumental in growing

text: In my book, this late 1970's LP was right up there with Keith Green and Randy Stonehill. All but one of the songs were written by Gary Luttrell and Mike Moore. Each song brings a special memory of those days, not only because of nostalgia, but for the great lyrics and sound that even holds true in 2011. I have quoted the song 'Colorful Little Tune' as much as some scripture. And songs, 'The Vow', 'Salvador' and 'To The Father' tell the stories of relationship to our spouse, to our friend and to our Father. I still have my 'cassette' tape (remember those things) of this and their first album. I would say that this is a very worthy work to have in your library.


title: Over Produced

text: Nice work, but the fact that the raincoat on the cover is the wrong color blue tells all you need to know.


title: Fred Karlin, unrecognized but not forgotten

text: Fred Karlin`s scores for WESTWORLD and THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MISS JANE PITTMAN and his Oscar for Best Song show the range of the late composer.  RAVAGERS is further proof of his talent, a post-apocalyptic noir-ish masterpiece.  The movie it was written for is forgotten and unavailable, but this score is a low-key masterpiece of mood.  this would be scored with synth drones and thumps today, but karlin used the orchestra to evoke emotion--this music doesn`t just hang back and hum unnoticed in the background.  Karlin isn`t afraid to use the full force of the orchestra in `Ravagers Attack Ship,` which anticipates both Howard Shore and James Horner in its use of held chords and jangling percussion. If you are a fan of the edgier modernistic scores of Jerry Goldsmith, Chris Young and Gil Melle, you need this in your collection.  To Intrada, which put this together with informative notes and crisp sound, sincere thanks--more Karlin, please!

title: An incredible cellist.

text: This box starts with the  the Brahms Double Concerto with Heifetz, and the first Brahms Piano trio with Heifetz and Rubinstein.  The second CD is a 1928 recording of the Dvorak cello concerto. The third CD is Strauss-Don Quixote. These 3 CDs are a wonderful introduction to the cellist.  It is interesting to compare these to the Casal recordings from this time.  The sound quality is not high fidelity but I find it very listenable. There is some argument about the pitches in these recordings.  I will leave that discussion to the audiophiles. There are seven additional CDS . As an amateur cellist I am stunned by Feuermann's incredible.  technique. This apparently was also the reaction of many of his fellow cellists. He was also very musical and breathed life into this music. If you have a chance to read his bio, it  is  definitely worth reading.


title: Wonderful inexpensive documentation of a wonderful cellist. Many classic recordings.

text: This is a wonderful collection of one of the finest cellists of of the 1930s to the early 1960s. There are many classic recordings included. CD-1 contains a performance of the Brahms Double Concerto with Milstein on the violin. This was recorded in 1950 with Reiner conducting. CD-1 also includes the 1st Mendelssohn Piano trio with Rubinstein and Heifetz. Piano trios with three wonderful soloists do no always gel but the three are all wonderful here. CD-2  has a good recording of the Dvorak cello concerto with Philadelphia and Munch. It dates from 1960. The sound is good for the vintage. The beauty and legato of Piatigorsky's cello is well captured. There are some exquisite moments for the flute and cello in the slow movement. I am very fond of Fournier and Starker in this concerto, but this recording  is a remarkable recording for the beauty of Piatigorsky's technique and sound.  The Beethoven String Trio Opus 9 Number 2 is a nice performance. It is not as classic in style as Grumiaux trio but also more exciting.  Heifetz either is playing too loud or is to close to the microphone in the first movement. There are many other important recordings doucuments in the oher 8 cds. I will add to the review in the future.


title: Glorious performances but not a high fidelity recording.

text: I first heard this music on CD with Grumiaux,Janzer,Czako about twenty years ago.  I did not really start to fully enjoy these trios until playing them as an amateur cellist. When I saw this recording this morning, I thought I would give the MP-3 download a try. They were recorded in live performance. Kogan, Barshai, and Rostropovich are a dream team. Each of them is a virtuoso of the highest order. Kogan in particularly has always been one of my favorite violinists. These musicians were frequent chamber group partners in the 1950s. There ensemble playing is glorious. The recording quality is well balanced for a live recording in the 1960. The recording quality is not high fidelity but is listenable.  The color of the violin and viola are better captured than the cello. The recording is an excellent document of these wonderful musicians.


title: Great music that will make your soul happy. A great introduction to Spohr.

text: Spohr lived from 1784-1859. The CD notes which came with this used copy were very informative. Spohr was a well known violin virtuoso and produced a large number of chamber works including 36 string quartets. Much of his quartet writing was based on the models of Mozart, Haydn, and the Opus 18 Beethoven quartets. As described in the notes eight of these quartets were quatuor brillant written on a model by Rode, a well known French violinist. These quator brillants are displays for a virtuoso 1st violin. The D Minor  Opus 11 written in 1804 is wonderful. I have listened  to it three times since the CD arrived yesterday. The two other quartets on this CD have more equal distribution of the melodic lines. They are quite beautiful and well crafted. If you enjoy late Haydn and early Beethoven string quartets you will enjoy this music. I have been listening to a good sampling of Spohr's quartets and quintets on Marco Polo (Naxos). This is wonderful music. It certainly is not at the level of  middle and late Beethoven but absolutely deserves hearing.  You will not think of future developments in the string quartet to follow in the  20th century.  The music is almost always joyful without too much soul searching. The New Budapest Quartet are a good professional group. The recording quality is excellent. Many of the earlier CDs in this quartet series appear to be out of print but are available used or as MP-3 downloads.


title: A wonderful gift for fans of Strauss, Reiner, and Varnay

text: This recording of a broadcast of Elektra from 1952 will be primarily of interest for the Elektra of Varnay and the conducting of Reiner. Richard Caniell who is a well known sound editor for his restorations for Guild and Immortal Performances provides a nice essay reviewing the performance. His own preference would appear to be for the Mitropoulos broadcast with the New York Philharmonic from 1949. He prefers both the Klytamnestra and Orest in that earlier recording. That broadcast remains available on Amazon on the Guild/Immortal Performances label. Caniell quotes extensively from Paul Jackson's Sign Off for the Old Met which gives the performances and particularly Varnay's Elektra a very positive review. Jackson states, "Her Elektra is without doubt the high point of her Metropolitan career." Reiner is the excellent conductor who was well known for both his symphonic and operatic work. There are multiple excellent Metropolitan opera broadcasts from this period which document his strength in opera. His expertise in Strauss is well documented by his recordings with the Chicago Symphony on RCA which are considered classics by many reviewers. This includes excerpts from Elektra with Borkh that belong in the collection of anyone who loves Strauss. This performance is highly enjoyable. Varnay does not have the most beautiful voice but it is powerful and perfect for Elektra. Simply stated the  role does not require a beautiful voice. It requires a powerful dramatic soprano with soaring high notes that can be heard above the orchestra. She does not have the laser-like high notes of Nilsson but  the high notes are all there and she does not seem to tire with the demands of this opera .  Varnay was in her thirties at the time of this broadcast and the voice was not worn out by her decade of singing of Brunnhildes at Bayreuth and other locations. Varnay clearly was a highly intelligent singer who loved singing and the theater. Her operatic career lasted over fifty years. If you have not heard her Brunnhilde, Senta, Isolde, or Lady Macbeth you should explore them. Although she may not be your first choice for any of these roles, she sang them all at a very high level.  Her multiple broadcasts of Elektra from 1949-1964 document one of her greatest roles. Varnay also has a commercial recording of Elektra from 1953 with Kraus conducting. The sound of that recording places the voices very forward. It also documents Rysanek as Chrysothemis and Hotter as Orest.  Nilsson with Solti and Borkh with Bohm in commercial recordings from the 1960s should be in your collections if you love this opera.  The recording quality is very acceptable for a mono aircheck. The Rosenkavalier excerpts are interesting but the Marschallin requires a very different voice. In summary this recording should be bought by fans of Reiner and Varnay. It should not be your first or second recording. If you want to hear Reiner in a  almost complete performance of Elektra or Varnay in the theater in one of her greatest roles it is time well spent.


title: Fabulous duo.

text: Ferras and Barbizet form a perfect duo. The recording balances the volume of the piano and cello well.For a 1960s recording the sound quality is excellent. The duo obviously played together frequently. They listen to each other which is evidenced by their phrasing and dynamics.  Do not heisitate to buy this box. The encore disc which has a different pianist was also quite enjoyable.


title: Almost Wavy...

text:
Huge Max-B fan, with that said, this mixtape was the worst material he has released. The production was mediocre, and the only good songs on this mixtape are on other Dipset mixtapes already in the streets. The lyrics were still very solid, but Max-B is the hook king and this album has NO CATCHY HOOKS !!!

Standout Tracks:
*Situations Feat. Stack Bundles
*Credibility Feat. Jim Jones

I would recommend "Million Dollar Baby Mixtape" (not Million Dollar Baby Radio LOL) or "Public Domain 3:Domain Pain" over this mixtape.


title: Love it

text: There is no real need to have this album unless you are a true dommin fan and know that this album is rare.


title: One of Those Lost Masterpieces

text: I've been listening to this piece since it was first released, wearing out a batch of vinyl copies over the past 40+ years.  Folks who know of this release tend tor treasure it.  Wilderness Road was Chicago group noted for both it's intelligence and wit, along with their considerable musical chops.  This release was a song cycle that might be best described as what the Eagles' Desperado album had been written by Jean-Paul Sarte and recorded at Sam Peckinpah's house.  It is well worth seeking out, and I would echo the earlier review:  Please someone make the effort to re-release this on CD, soon.


title: Why Doesn't Someone Re-Lease This???

text: This is just an amazing piece of music; joyful, articulate, and masterfully played.  "The Path", (which on the original LP took up all of side one) is a cornerstone of my early life listening career, and looms large in importance to a great many musician and non-musicians alike.  So much music from this era of lesser quality has been re-mastered and released, it seem a shame that this lovely song cycle is still off the market.  If you find a clean copy, consider yourself lucky.

text: I purchased the imported cd(japan)thinking it was a different project from the debut release what i got was an extended mix of material from the debut release,a live version of oya &river +oya (acapella) and river(oshun dub) needless to say i have duplicated material from different perspectives,worth it!!!!?,I think so.

title: P T Barnum is alive and well..... and working for Capital....

text:
The French have a word for it:............"BOF"  (think of it as complete disinterest....)

I can't believe this!!!  Capital, the King of Ugly Album Covers (look at other Beach Boy & Beatles endless compilations) put out an 11 song cd of endlessly recycled songs with arguably the MOST horribly boring cover. EVER  AnyWhere..  OK, they give you a new recording of "Do It Again", but thank you, the first time was much better, so please DON'T do it again.

Ok, a nice magazine, and a couple of postcards.....  But $47??  $27????  Anything over $7.27.........

Don't get me wrong, love the Beach Boys, seen them umteen times (though not in the last 25 years, Brian Wilson yes), bought all those GREAT GREAT GREAT Capital original two-fers cd's with bonus tracks, which were very reasonably price, the Good Vibrations box set, the Pet Sounds box set, even all those Sea of Tunes (label) cd's which seem to go on forever........

This is just absurd.  What a waste.....  (PS, I didn't buy it, I saw it at my friend's house.  That's as close as I want to get....)

Someone reviewing this said it was a wonderful way to spend the day doing your chores with this on.  11- 3 minute songs works out to about 35 minutes.  What are you going to do for the other 23 hours and 25 minutes??  And besides, IMHO, "Kokomo" is known sedative which can be very helpful when you are in need  of sleep.  :o)  Not trying to get work done.

Hey Capital, how about reissuing the 3 Chocolate Watch Band albums??  An album of great obscure Capital singles like Arthur Lee and the LAG's??  Even the rumored "Endless Bummer" album of all those studio sessions of Murray Wilson berating Brian, the drunken party outtakes, etc........

title: Loved the music from the game?  Get this double CD set then!

text:
After finishing the game, the music review mode was unlocked in game.  However, it only allowed you to review the cues that were used during the game's interactive segments, and the cues from FMV segments were not reviewable through this feature.
Enter the BGM Collection album, a 2-CD set that leaves virtually no stones unturned when it comes to getting all the musical passages used in the game.  The only thing I can think of that was not included were the sound effects.
The 2 discs are jampacked with BGM cues - disc 1 (74 minutes and 55 seconds) contains a whopping 43 tracks, while disc 2 (71 minutes and 36 seconds) contains 36 tracks, 7 of which were bonus tracks - cues for the mini-games.  The background music from free-roams, conversations, battle, and FMV segments were all collected here in chronological order.  Disc 1 contains the cues from disc 1 of the game and shared cues, while Disc 2 contains the cues from discs 2 and 3 of the game.
The opening songs from all 3 discs of the game are also collected here.  They are the edited version as heard in the game, not the full/extended versions which are only available from the Vocal Album.  As for the ending theme song, the vocal version is not found here (there is only an instrumental version that plays during the end of most episodes in game) but on the Vocal Album instead.
Sound quality is superb, given that this is a synth-driven recording.  I think this is the best sounding Sakura Wars BGM album so far.  Although I wish they'd re-record some of the cues with real instruments, for the sake of authenticity they had to stick with the actual tracks used in the game.  Unfortunately the cover artwork and the accompanying booklet leaves a lot to be desired compared with previous Sakura Wars BGM releases.  It almost felt like they rushed it out of the door as far as packaging goes, tossing some screen shots together for the cover art and not including much inside the booklet.  The silk screening on the discs were nice, though.  Disc 1 is a pie cut into 8 pieces, 6 of which show the Koubu F pilots in their battle uniform.  Disc 2 has a similar layout, but replaces the pilots with their Koubu Fs.
Overall, if you are a fan of the game and thoroughly enjoyed its music, you will love this 2-disc set.  The inclusion of the 3 opening songs from each disc was a sweet bonus/surprise.


title: A good CD if you liked the main character themes from SW3

text:
<Please be advised that there are some SPOILERS AHEAD if you haven't finished the game Sakura Wars 3>
Packaging-wise, the booklet's layout was excellent - elegant and classy just like the game - a major improvement over the booklet that came with the SW3 BGM Album.  Unfortunately, the silkscreening on the disc was very cheap - a black and white reproduction of the CD's cover illustration.
Here's a run-down of the tracks:
1 Mihata No Motoni  (Beneath the Flag)
This is the extended version of the game's opening song and was not heard in the game.  If you bought the CD single of this song, then you've already heard it since it's an identical version.  Basically the opening song from the game is repeated twice, with a nice instrumental bridge thrown in.
2 Hana no Paris  (Paris of Flowers)
This is a theme song of sorts for Ci and Mell, as they get lead vocal duties on this track.  It's the song version of the music that plays during the game's savepoints.  Again, if you have already heard the CD single of the opening theme song, this track was included on it as a bonus track.
3 Praying
This is Erica's theme song.  Sad to say, but I think this arrangement shows the limitation of the singer (voice actress for Erica Fontaine) more than anything else.  This is evident from the more restrained range of this version than the original instrumental version heard in the game. Too bad the vocal version lacks the dynamic range of the original version, which made the theme so memorable in the first place.
4 Eroica / Heroic Legend
This is Glycine's theme.  "Eroica" was an obvious reference to the title of the symphony composed by Beethoven in honor of Napoleon before he found out about Napoleon's crowning himself.  Since Glycine was one of the two "noble class" girls in the new Paris team, this is probably where the connection was made.
This version is a vast improvement over the instrumental original, mostly benefiting from the use of a real orchestra for recording, as opposed to the synth-driving original.  The vocal performance was powerful and majestic, the transition from the intro to the main theme was smooth (unlike the drastic change of tone in the original version), and was generally perfect except for the strings towards the end, which was unforgivable in my humble opinion.
5 192455631
This is Lobelia Carlini's theme song.  The vibe is generally depressing since it's a song about being imprisoned.  There is a lot of ambient sound effects mixed in the track, but musically there isn't that much going on that's interesting.  The vocal performance is decent, but after you get over the sense of awe at hearing the voice actress of Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess singing, this track leaves a lot to be desired.  She tried her best, but unfortunately wasn't given enough to work with.
6 Step Together
This is Coquelicot's theme song, and perhaps one of the best tracks from this album for several reasons - the vocal performance was as in-character as when the voice actress recorded her dialog for the game, and the song itself was a children's song, which was fitting given the character's age.  There are some exotic instruments featured in this arrangement, although I am not sure if they were authentic Vietnamese instruments (the character was Vietnamese, during the time the game took place, Vietnam was a French colony).
7 As for Umbrella of the Heart
This is Hanabi's theme song.  While I wasn't a fan of the her instrumental theme (except for the mini-game version, which was incredible), this vocal song was a vast improvement.  The performance was more emotional and spirited and less depressing like the original theme.  It starts with a violin solo, followed by the piano to lay a comfortable bed for the vocals to sing over.  It started somber but builds up steadily as the violin started to interact with the voice and piano more.  Beautiful.
8 Sentimental...
This is the theme played in episode 8 when Maria, Kanna, and Kohran arrive in Paris.  It has a slightly western feel due to the horns.  Kohran's voice actress was not singing in character, but if you have been a fan since the first two games then you'll probably enjoy this track.
9 A Song to Remember You By
This is the theme played during the appearance of Sakura, Sumire, and Iris from episode 7.  All 3 voice actresses perform vocal duties on this track very much in character.  It is more Eastern sounding compared to the previous track and slightly slower, but more elegant sounding.  Interestingly, I found this track to be more sentimental than the previous track.  ^_^
10 A Place to Place the Heart
This is the vocal version of theme from episode 9 which relates to Orihime and Reni.  Like the last two tracks, they were more subdued and relaxed than the main characters' themes.  The voice actress of Reni does not sing in character here.  This song is more of a duet and the instrumentation is very light and sparse, like a song you'd hear on late night adult contemporary radio.
11 Geki! Teikoku Kagekidan! III  (Go! Imperial Floral Assault Group! ver. 3)
This is the full/extended version of the opening song from disc 2 of the game.  If you prefer the opening song from the second game over the version from the first game then you will probably like this one too.
12 Future
This is the song that plays over the final credit roll.  It's identical to what you hear in the game, except for the instrumental bridge that plays during your vice captain's monologue, which was edited out in this version.
If you loved the main character themes from the game, then this disc will be a nice addition to your CD library.  However, if you prefer the exact music heard in the game, then you should go with the Sakura Wars 3 BGM Collection 2-CD set instead.


title: Faithful soundtrack CD

text: All the cues used in the film was included on the CD, even down to the incidental music which did not fit with the orchestrated score.  This CD is  worth buying for the two J-pop songs, including the beautifully lyrical  "Eternal Wind".  The orchestrated score has been rearranged into  symphonic suites and released as the Gundam F91 Symphonic Poem CD, which I  recommend highly as a companion disc to the film's OST CD if you just can't  get enough of the Wagnerian music featured in the film (an approach John  Williams took in composing his legendary themes for the Star Wars trilogy).


title: Great!

text: Great album! We’ll written and arranged, worth the money!

title: AWESOME MUSIC BEAUTIFUL MAN

text: This is album is so worth the money. It's literally a 300-page photobook with extremely well-produced paper and high quality photos. And it has the CD.<br />Just so proud of my China Sheep please go dominate China even more and take your music to the world. May your dreams stay big your worries stay small and you never get to carry more than you can hold.


title: An Excellent Interpretation

text: While I had sampled some of the tracks on this new recording, the full digital sound of the period piano and the sensitive interpretation of the piece was most enjoyable.


title: Wonderful Storyline and Animation

text:
I discovered this beautiful anime through Crunchyroll. I found myself returning to this particular anime due to its wonderful themes of friendship, determination, family, love, and forgiveness. The music to this anime are very simple but strangely fitting and beautiful.

Beast Player Erin is about a young girl named Erin. Erin comes from a land where large lizard like creatures, Tohdas, are used as tools of warfare and flying wolf-like creatures, Ohju, soar the skies. Erin comes from a village where Tohda are breed and raised for one of the two kingdoms. Erin quickly learns that politics and expectations rule over a beast healer of Tohda. This is particularly the case for her mother, Soh-Yon, who is from the clan of People of the Mist who is said to have mysterious magical powers. Erin longs to be a beast healer like her mother but its through hardship, heartbreak, and healing that Erin learns to be compassionate when others don't have need of it. Beast Player Erin has a variety of lovable characters that develop through the storyline.

text: For anyone who loved the 70's, this is a must have CD.  I can't believe I still remember all of the words to the songs.  I received it promptly and then went out for a drive with Supertramp blasting!  Just like the good old days!


title: Love it!

text: It is the Outsiders what else is there to say


title: Love the band, the DVD is good

text: I have only one complaint...some of the audio is tinny. I've been to see this band many times and the DVD doesn't really do them justice. The beginning audio was extremely tinny.  The same for the CD.


title: Case was wrecked

text: Wish I could leave a review just for the way the product arrived. The cd itself was great and in new condition but the case was missing the back completely and the front comes off the moment you touch it. Defeats the purpose of buying it to have the actual discs if all the packaging is trashed. Love the music though


title: Fantastic!

text: Arrived as promised and is being thoroughly enjoyed


title: Five Stars

text: Enjoyed it very much! His music is great! Need more of the same.


title: so worth the money!

text: I had always wanted a copy of the song "Always Come Back to You", but I could never find an actual copy. I once even write the recording company that did the recording for the song to see if I could buy a copy directly from them, but,alas, to no avail! I even looked to see if the song had ever been released as an mp3 here on Amazon, but it again it was not so! This album was worth every penny! It's not a single, a whole album. The artist has some other songs on there that worth listening to! You may loose your heart (especially if love music from the late 80's - early 90's)! The album is out of print, hence the higher cost. If you have been looking for the song from the "Nutcracker Prince" then you have found one album that contains the song.


title: One of a Kind, unusual music

text: This album's music is some of the most inventive, stand out music, like the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's, or Michael Jackson's Thriller. It solidified and mystified Van the Man's reputation, music not recreated but built upon throughout Morrison's career. People wanted to hear this music in concert but it was rarely performed. It left a lasting impression on me. The expression "always leave them wanting more" it aptly fitting. Having this cd (and his original record) lets me hear more and wanting more, too!


title: Go Yancey....Go....see you in Dead Wood this year!!

text: Wonderful


title: Stan Sunmi 🙌

text:
I love this album and I'm so glad I finally got it. Sunmi is a literal queen.

The binding on my album is a bit fragile and would easily fall apart if handled to roughly, so that is the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars.


title: Stan SKZ for Clear Skin

text:
13/10 i love it. Stanning skz is the best decision.

It came quickly and in perfect condition! Love the album.


title: Amazing


title: Great CD

text: Used in car


title: No track listing = no sale.

text: Sorry about the 1 star - I love these recordings; I've bought several versions of this set over the years. BUT I aint shelling out $40.00 if there is no track listing. "Complete", eh? Well there were about 35 tracks recorded that night in 1962. I would hope that most (If not all of them) made it into this collection.


title: no libretto is a rip-off

text: I was totally stunned to have purchased this recording only to find no enclosed libretto.  That is outrageous and the producers of this recording should be publically chastised!  what a rip off!  At least provide the purchasers of this album an on line link to read the libretto.  I don't care how good this music is.  The producers have cheated their customers.  With the classical music listener becoming a dinosaur, the last thing we need are ruthless producers who could care less about their waning customer base.


title: Five Stars

text: very good


title: Wonderful Product

text: Very happy with product. Came as desired and is a wonderful soundtrack to listen to.


title: K-Pop at its best

text: Best! Love it!


title: Lovely music!

text: I got this CD because one of the songs on it is in one of my favorite anime. The music is very sweet and soothing. It arrived in great condition, too!


title: Two old favorites...

text: I saw the movies "La Violetera" and "Carmen la de Ronda" when they came out in the 1950s. I bought the  records for both immediately, and missed listening to them, so it has been a joy to listen to them in CD format. La Violetera is a movie about a Spanish music hall singer (fictional) and practically all the songs are old "cuplés," many of which were favorites of my parents' and grandparents' generations, Sarita Montiel brought them back into fashion and gave them a new lease on life. "Carmen la de Ronda" is a variant of the Carmen legend, in which Carmen lives during the Napoleonic invasion, and has both a French soldier and a Spanish "guerrillero" in love with her, and is torn between the two; the triangle of course ends in tragedy. In this movie many of the songs are from the Andalusian folk tradition (including a wonderful scene in which the resistance fighter is hiding in an inn where Carmen is entertaining, and a French platoon comes searching for him. Carmen leaps on the tablado and begins to sing a well known (and fiery) Flamenco tune, improvising the words so that he guerrillero will understand that his presence been discovered and must flee... even warning him that a certain road is not safe!  The songs are beautiful in themselves, and she interprets them with a lovely voice and feeling.


title: Gritty underground Fire!

text: Yo! I just heard this whole cd and it was blowin my mind. The joints with JUICE on Verbal Warfare and K-solo on Knock'em Out is great. I recommend anyone who likes that raw grimy music cop this cd. I was already a fan of Mozes crew "The Rec Center" ("Lonely People" cd) and this just keeps on showin why my head keeps noddin. Go get this cd!!!....Peace


title: "Melodic Fusion" - It isn't a contradiction

text: These guys are good, real good.  Drawing on influences such as Steve Howe, Steve Vai and Jeff Beck, Twangorama has produced a very interesting CD which is a breath of fresh air in these days of dreck like Justin Timberlake and the anti-christ herself, Celine Dion.  Their music is melodic and inventive without being another droll example of musicians playing to the musicians in the crowd.  You really have to see these guys to appreciate just how good they truly are.  Each is a veteran of the New Orleans music scene with his own unique slant on guitar music.  (The majority of the band is comprised of veteran performers from 'Woodenhead', a New Orleans institution since the 1970's.)  I have a blind cockatiel who likes music and he gave the CD two chirps and a headbob which is equal to four stars.  I gave this release five stars because I envy their amazing ability to play as a team which some virtuoso musicians just can't seem to do long enough to make a band succeed.  These gentlemen obviously checked their egos at the door.  Now, you need to check your wallet and  BUY THIS CD.


title: Poorly Packaged

text: Great CD bit as you can tell from the pictures posted, the CD cover was either damaged while being delivered or it was already damaged before being packaged.


title: Quiet Music to Listen to at Bedtime

text: Dion's music is always so restful to listen to at night as I'm crawling in bed.  Give it a try.


title: So Soothing For The Soul

text: Kathryn Scott has a melodic voice... Her version of "Blessed Be Your Name" is by far my favorite. I don't usually care for slower meoldies, but this album is an exception. Beautiful....perfect for your personal praise and worship time with the Lord !


Very disappointed. I thought these were vocals. They're hymns I've never heard sung like so many traditional hymns and never played at church anymore. I'm a young reformed evangelical who does not care for the songs that lack rich theological and doctrinal truths.


title: Quick and good

text: Product came quick and the music is superb


title: Just your way, baby.  Al Savage/Joe Morris

text: Wonderful song.  Brings back old memories.  Al Savage had such a great voice and delivery it is hard to understand why he did not go farther.  The Sax in this work is great and ranks with the best of them.

title: Denny Scot is awesome.

text: My husband first heard Denny Scott many Years ago and we've been looking for his Records a long time since.  I am thrilled we were able to find it.  Denny has a great Voice and I wish he would  produce more song.


title: Four Stars

text: Love the music plan to use some of it for my wedding.


title: Great stroll down memory lane...

text: I love the music of this era and this a wonderful sampling.  It's like listening to the radio when I was seven...


title: The Best

text: When Hal Kennedy did this album he did the best album anyone could have done. It will bless you and if you've never heard it, you should get it and give it a listen.


title: Discover this music!

text: Field Recordings has quickly become one of the CDs that stays in the player almost all the time. Doug's style of writing reveals possible influences by some of my all-time favorites: Beatles (of course),  CSN&Y, JT & Dylan, and yet his style remains all his own. It's  evident that he loves music, and has poured himself into these songs.  Excellent musicianship and vocals.

title: This Swedish metal band is AWESOME! I stumbled upon it by accident watching some ...

text: This Swedish metal band is AWESOME! I stumbled upon it by accident watching some videos one day, and searched EVERY where for this CD and could find NO information on it. And then it popped up on here and I grabbed it the first chance I got. "Rockin' the Cradle" is by far MY favorite song on the album. Most of the songs are ones that have an 'acquired' taste for their sound. Once you listen to them a couple of times, they all are great, and the band has amazing talent. This is another one of those CD's that is becoming VERY hard to find, and I recommend any collector of this type of music to grab one up at first sight, as before long it will be obsolete! INCREDIBLE!!


This is a Russian bootleg, and not the original print of this CD. Buyers BEWARE!! I bought this CD from this same seller a few weeks ago, and also have a copy of the REAL CD, and this is NOT REAL. It is a Russian bootleg that has been out for quite a while. Although it's a good bootleg, it's still a bootleg, so just beware you will only be buying it for the music, not for the rarity of the CD. If it's too good to be true, then it is!!


title: Don”t buy it!

text: Don’t waste your money here. The quality of the sound is unbelievable. Terrible at all aspects.


title: Amazing sellers

text: Absolutely amazing in everyway possible. A big thank you to everyone in the company for everything you all did for me!

text: Lovely and raw. Passionate voice. A hidden gem, this album. Get it, if only for "Gift".

title: Worth the Effort

text:
As Soviet tanks crossed the Czech frontier in 1968, and as musicians of that nationality rushed home before the borders were sealed, some intrepid producer got on the phone so that the show, or recording session, could go on. Locals from Munich filled in the gaps; the hybrid ensemble that resulted is described on the album as "Large Symphony Orchestra."

From what I understand, this "Lohengrin" was planned as filler, a kind of bonus that would accompany four other opera recordings: The whole project was completed in just under a month. Predictably, things did get a little sloppy; for example, the King Henry vocalist is erroneously credited. I'll bet there are other gaffes, too. And why not?, given the chaotic and scary conditions prevailing.

Despite, or maybe because of the crisis atmosphere, this is an important document in the long, voluminous, and competitive history of recorded "Lohengrins." Locating a copy isn't easy in North America, but it is definitely worth the effort. Check out the raves on Amazon.de, mine included. While abridged in places, the Swarowksy interpretation successfully balances the dramatic and lyrical elements in ways you won't likely encounter elsewhere. There are no Big Names among the vocalists, but they are all superior, and some  (Ortrud: Ruth Hesse) are extraordinary.

Go the extra mile and score a copy.


title: Excellent

text: Excellent


title: Holiday classic

text: Simply put this is one of the best swing Christmas albums ever made. If your in need of  a little extra something to get you in the mood<br />for the holidays this will do the trick!


title: Distilled music

text: Clean and clear


title: The packing was destroyed, but the artist is amazing.

text: The CD is great!  Warren's music gets 5 stars.  The jewel case gets 1 star.  It arrived with MULTIPLE cracks to the point that I will need to replace it.  The case was so damaged it will not even stay closed.


Although I would normally give this excellent recording 4 stars, I gave it 5 because someone rated this a 1-star simply because she didn't do any research to find out that she was actually purchasing a legal CD transfer of an LP album. If you are a collector of rare original cast albums, this is definitely a must-have that ranks right up there with "The Baker's Wife", and the original Broadway cast bootleg of "Carrie".


title: MY KINGDOM COME LP

text: Love this album! It's hilarious and timeless! My entire family enjoyed this in the 80's and it's just as entertaining and meaningful as ever!I would definitely recommend it in any media.


title: Teen Idols for a Moment CD

text: Product was delivered on time and in excellent condition.  While the few songs that I wanted were in this CD, it was worth the value to get these hard to find songs.


title: Beautiful Singing

text: This is a CD remastering of Bizet's "The Pearl Fishers" featuring the great French lyric tenor Leopold Simoneau and his wife Pierrette Alarie.  But for the somewhat two dimensional sound of early CDs, I would have given this release five stars for the singing is superb.  A most pleasant addition to any operatic collection.

title: VERY ZAPPA-ESQUE

text: WOW ! IF YOU TOOK FRANK ZAPPA'S 200 MOTELS ORCHESTRAL MOVEMENTS , EXTENDED THEM FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF , THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD BE LISTENING TO. AND THEN ADD MALE AND FEMALE YELLING / SCREAMING TO THE MIX WITH ELECTRONIC SOUNDS...  WITH SILENCE MIXED IN , YOU WOULD HAVE HAMLET MACHINE . THIS... IS... EXTREME .


title: NOT TOO BAD... FOR A BOOT .

text: MOST BOOTS SOUND LIKE CRAP [ ESSPECIALLY VOCALS ] I WOULD RATE THIS 8.5. YOU CAN HEAR EACH INSTRUMENT [ NOT LIKE IT WAS RUN THROUGH A BLENDER ] AND IT EVEN HAS FRANK ZAPPA ON A TRACK [ WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE ] TWO AND A HALF HOURS LONG ; SOME REPEATS ON THE DISCS... BUT WELL WORTH IT .

title: Too Loud and heavy!!

text: I like Daughtry and have purchased all his albums but this one appears he is getting louder and heavier metal type and frankly on this album all the songs are hard to hear and all sound the same. Hope next one goes back to sound of his earlier stuff.

text: sounded very good


title: Nice album

text: Sweet voice and good rock. Her new album (Contracorriente) is even better than her 1st ones.


title: AN EXCELLENT C.D. -- AND AN ONGOING STRUGGLE FOR LIFE AND FREEDOM

text: This CD is a mix of reggae and hip-hop music, and musically not quite as great as "Reggae Free Mumia."  Nonetheless, it's well worth the price for its lyrical messages in support of freedom for imprisoned journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal, whose fraudulent conviction and continuing wrongful incarceration give the lie to America's promises of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of the press and freedom of association.  Having failed in their attempt to permanently silence one of their most brilliant and eloquent critics by having him (legally) put to death, the Fraternal Order of Police and its racist, right-wing allies have pushed a blatantly unconstitutional censorship act into law in Pennsylvania, and prison officials may be attempting to extrajudicially execute Abu-Jamal by means of deliberate medical malpractice.  I applaud the singers, rappers and musicians on "Free Mumia Abu-Jamal: No Ocean Separating Our Desire for Justice" for teaching the people of the world about Mumia Abu-Jamal and his case and supporting the international struggle to FREE MUMIA ABU-JAMAL AND ALL U.S. HELD POLITICAL PRISONERS!  THE WORLD IS WATCHING!


title: It’s so cute, buy it!

text: I’m so glad I sent this to my sister. Her 3.5 yr old daughter loved this cd and my sister thought it was so cute. Hoping to hear this cd one of these days on FaceTime. :)


title: Not sure why this says 2013???

text: This is an amazing record!!! BEWARE OF THE PRICE!!! I don't know why this is so high.....and for some reason, it says it came out in 2013. That's not correct. It came out 2016. This I know for a fact because I had it preordered for almost 2 months before it came out.....


title: Guess what ...

text:
I bought this CD a couple of years ago but it was stolen from our home. Because we had enjoyed it so much we knew we had to re-purchase it. The songs that we really like range from Cantare (with lovely Latin sounds) to the sweet Te Espero and the worshipful Seas Glorificado. This album would not be what it is without El Momento Anhelado with special appearance of Forte and Consejos which is laced with a bit of reggaeton and rap! Hay Un Refugio and La Sinfonia are songs that will bring tears to your eyes and make a worthy end to an excellent CD!

Compré este CD unos años atrás pero fue robado de nuestra casa. Porque lo habíamos disfrutado tanto sabíamos que teníamos que volver a comprarlo. Las canciones que nos gustan mucho: desde Cantare (con preciosos sonidos latinos) a la dulce Te Espero y (la adoración en) Seas Glorificado. Este álbum no sería lo que es sin El Momento Anhelado con la participacion especial de Forte, tambien Consejos, con un poco de reggaeton y rap, y Te Deseo con sus letras hermosas. Hay Un Refugio y La Sinfonia son canciones que traerá lágrimas a los ojos y hacen un final digno de un CD excelente!


title: Sobgs of Faith and Glory

text: This is an excellent album. One of the best by CWG. If you're into Southern Gospel/Country Gospel, I highly recommend this hard-to-find album for your collection.


title: I Can Do Nothing Alone

text: If you're into country gospel music, this is an excellent album. There is not a single song that I would rate any less than excellent. To bad it doesn't come on CD!

text: wonderful cd


I'm the only female to comment on this?  And I'm not even a jazz musician - BUT I am know a good composition when I hear it.  I heard Mandeville late at night on Jazz with Bob Parlocha out of NYC. All I knew it was amazing piece.  So, as I do with other music, or anything else, that peaks my interest, I delve deep.  So now I have Threshold on vinyl - and hope to splurge on this cd.  I listened to this youtube concert he performed live back in 2012, which while audio ain't great - wonderful stuff!  What an American Treasure!


title: Thought it was full album

text:
good song but could have gotten it cheaper from iTunes.  I thought it was the whole album - not just one song.  Need a better description on your item.

On a better note - shipping was quick.

title: 5 stars = WTF?!?

text:
I bought this album during a time when I was relatively new to metal (I wasn't allowed to listen to secular or hard music as a kid) after hearing the cut "Ungrateful" on G-ROCK and loving it to death. What I ended up with when I got home from the store was what I knew even then to be a shoddily-produced album filled with what were obviously prototypical ideas. If you like blandish garage metal (that sounds like it was recorded in said garage) with blunt and goofy lyrics about being a sinner and... well that's the lyrical gist of the entire album, then you will probably enjoy "Indecision". I didn't, and still don't, so to me this was one of the bigger disappointments of my early music purchasing career. During a period when I was also coming across Christian bands like P.O.D., Project 86, and Five Iron Frenzy, this album found itself way at the bottom of the pile, under even Jars of Clay. Quite frankly, all of these reviews gushing heaps of praise for this sonically accursed thing strike me as probably all having been posted by two or three people using different accounts, because any other explanation just seems completely out of sync with any semblance of possibility.

HOWEVER...

If you surf the Interwebs, you will find cuts from a self-titled Gryp album that must have been released some time after "Indecision". On it are redone versions of tracks from this album that are a DRASTIC improvement over what is on display here, so evidently Gryp did find time to become a decent band, pretty damn good even. Information being scant, pack some luck in a duffel and look for that disc instead. Because despite the probable and unseemly circlejerk going on here, "Indecision" is not the Gryp you're looking for.

title: Musical perfection!

text:
This CD was the first music I had ever imported from Japan.  Since then, I've imported a number of CDs, both from Amazon marketplace as well as other online stores.  As much as I love some of my other music, I've got to say, this is still the CD I listen to and love the most.

I've never been entirely sure what the *exact* title of this CD is, so I'll just simplify it and call it ~Ar=ciel Ar=dor~.  It's essentially a complication of tracks based on the world of the Ar tonelico video games -- based on, but not directly taken from (*with one exception) any of the 3 games in the series.  For those not familiar with the series, the world of Ar tonelico is based on the usage of "Song Magic" -- essentially magic that comes from singing, rather than a more traditional magic system.  As such, the quality of the in-game music, especially the vocal tracks, has always been exceptionally high for the series.  This tradition continues in ~Ar=ciel Ar=dor~, arguably even exceeding the quality of the music made for the games.

Each song on the CD is an intricate, complex vocal track, sung by the wonderfully talented Akiko Shikata.  Most of the tracks (possibly all of them?) are a mixture of the language Hymmnos -- a fictional, but fully functional language designed for Ar tonelico -- and Japanese.  The combination of the two languages makes for an absolutely beautiful set of lyrics to listen to.

But we should really get to the songs, right?

1). Singing Hills ~Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor~ (6:23)
This song is based on the opening song to Ar tonelico III (Ar tonelico Qoga in North America); however it has been completely remixed for this CD.  Akiko Shikata has a tradition of released remixed versions of the Ar tonelico openings in her CDs, and each subsequent one has been more ambitious than the previous.  This one, being the 3rd and final opening song, varies the most from its original source; however, this allows Shikata to modify and enhance it beyond what was reasonable for a 2.5 minute opening song.  The end result is pure bliss for the ears.  Like a great story, it has a definite beginning, middle, and end that should be apparent as you listen to it (truth be told, I believe this song, and indeed most of the others, do indeed tell a story with the lyrics, but realistically, you'll probably need to google it to find the actual translations.  Unless of course, you speak both Hymmnos and Japanese, which would be awesome, but not very likely :).

2.) Era of Raging Lion ~Emperor of Wailing Thunder~ (5:05)
As you might guess from the keywords in the title ("Raging" and "Thunder"), this song is the most forceful on the CD.  It's not a dark song by any means, but it is most definitely the most aggressive track vocally.  It is also probably the most fast-paced song on the CD (note that I said fast-paced, not necessarily the shortest.  It's actually in the middle of the pack length-wise.)

3.) The Forest of Shelanoir (4:57)
Coming off of the previous track is a much more relaxed, calming song.  The amount of action in the song picks up after the first minute and a half, though it never becomes quite as action-packed as track 2.  Shikata does a great job of varying her voice for the different parts of the song -- some parts feel more like a whisper, while others feature her voice at full force.  Furthermore, each change feels like a natural progression of the song; nothing ever feels forced or unnatural.

4.) Infelious Rhaplanca. Heavenly Prayers ~Rhaplanca~/Earthly Atonement ~Maoh~ (7:42)
It's a weird title for sure.  I'm probably over-simplifying it to the extreme, but the way I view this is as one song with two separate parts.  It's a great track, but of all the tracks on the CD, this one probably took me the longest to get into.  The beginning is probably the slowest-paced of any of the 6 tracks.  It begins calmly, transitions into a period of chaos around 1:40, and then eases back into tranquility.  Around 3:20 or so, the song transitions to become faster-paced.  This is the 2nd part I referred to earlier (it's also my preferred part of the song).  There are some really great instrumentals going on in the background as well; I particularly love the cello that is featured prominently in a few parts.  Really great combination of a instrumental and vocal work.

5.) Afezeria HARVESTASYA (6:30)
The beginning starts off with the sound of a music box being cranked, followed by it actually playing music (combined of course with Shikata's vocal work).  It then transitions into an opening dominated by bagpipes...admittedly not a sound often found in Japanese music, but it works brilliantly here (that said, Akiko Shikata's music often combines the different styles of various regions of the world.  Her Harmonia album features at least Japanese, Hymmnos, German, and Italian vocals, and that's not even considering changing the style of the music, rather than just language.  But I'll save that for another time...).  Moving on from the bagpipes, we get treated to one of Shikata's strongest vocal performances on the entire CD.  More so than any other track, we can really feel the song transitioning from different stages, just like a narrative.  There are times of peace and harmony, and then there are times of action and struggle, and in traditional Shikata form, the song moves between parts flawlessly.  As a side note, this along with the first song are my favorite tracks on the CD :D

6.) Ec Tisia ~Tarifa~ (3:29)
If you recall from the beginning of the review, I mentioned that *almost* all of the tracks are new (or at the very least, remixed/extended).  This track is directly from Ar tonelico Qoga; it plays near the end of the game (although this is the first time it has been released if I am not mistaken).  It's a hauntingly beautiful track, and it perfectly fits the scene during which it is played in the game.  The song has a calming effect on the listener, which complements the action-filled moments of the previous songs perfectly.  This is an absolutely wonderful ending to the CD as a whole, leaving the listener soothed and satisfied at end of this remarkable experience.

And that's the CD.  Yes, there are only 6 tracks; mind you, most of them are pretty long.  I have yet to find *any* music anywhere that delivers quite the same experience that this CD gives.  I'm amazed that Akiko Shikata can actually sing some of these songs; the complexity of the vocal tracks is astounding; yet she delivers them flawlessly.  If you have never listened to an Akiko Shikata album, I strongly encourage you to try this out -- you may find yourself a fan of a musical genre you never knew existed!


title: Oops, wrong CD!

text: Item was mislabeled as a different CD, I already have this one. But, at this price I'll keep it and give it to a friend.


title: Good deal

text: This was so cheap, I was expecting scratched discs or broken jewel case, but it was in great shape.


title: Great!

text: Product came as it describes and in good condition!


title: Beautiful Album!

text: Her bluesy tone and smokey voice compliment her deeply personal lyrics about life on the ocean. It's not "cruising music", but it is a beautiful album and Sarah is a wonderful artist.


title: Kinston Trio

text: My pleasure


title: Just so you will know...

text: The music and everything is what I expected for a Messianic Jewish CD... as Zipporah Bennett is a classic artist in the Messianic Movement, Althought she was from New York, please be aware that the CD offered here is in German and Hebrew... Not English and Hebrew... which was hard to notice on the album cover...


title: Very nice

text: Absolutely love it great quality


title: Fast delivery but broken mirror

text: Love it wish main person was moonbyul instead of whee in


title: Worth every penny and audio samples are indeed provided.

text: I already though I knew what I had to practice to improve my sight reading... but Yoke brought to my attention of learning patterns and intervals.  I suppose I was aware of that previously, but now I actually do flash cards on intervals, chord inversions etc which has really improved my sightreading or at least my confidence anyway.  Ultimately, this course inspired me to stop being lazy and change the way I sightread.  I'll update this review once I can say for sure to what degree I have improved.


title: definitely worth the investment

text: I've been playing piano for a couple years... a year ago, I started talking to my piano teacher about improvisation.  She happens to be a skilled improviser... doesn't mean she's effective in teaching how to improv.  Eventually I took some jazz piano lessons with another talented pianist and teacher. I figured jazz piano would be a good place to start... (it can be...), but you're working with modes and color chords and jazz patterns... I wanted something broader and I finally found it.  For the cost of 3 piano lessons I've gained more in a month with this program than I had in 6 months with my other teachers.  This course is easily worth the investment.  The author has provided both visual and written material in an easy to follow structured format.  I found the dvd to be more accessible for me... I can see what she is doing so it's like having an in-house piano teacher!  I love the structure of this program in particular- it ties everything together.  I do think it will help if you have a bit of knowledge of music theory under your belt... it'll make each lesson that much easier.

title: Chiseled by Sony: Inexcusable to exclude the Hammerklavier

text: Shame on Sony for not completing this box set by including Gould's fascinating and unconventional recording of the Hammerklavier or the delightful Piano Sonata No. 24, "à Thérèse."  The pairing of these two sonatas on an earlier CD tends to be vastly overpriced on the market, so it's rather clear that Sony did not give much concern for either Gould's legacy or the interests of his fans.  Of course this compilation has its virtues (along with some quirky performances--especially in the late sonatas); but leaving off both the Hammerklavier and "à Thérèse" is a travesty.  Perhaps a complete collection of Gould's Beethoven recordings is planned for later release, in the "recycling" pattern the company is noted for?


title: Beautiful!

text: This was a wonderful purchase! The music is varied and gorgeous. And the case is actually a little hardback book with short biographies of the composers and a little history of the time frame the pieces were written. Well worth the money!

title: Medicine Sunday is power/grunge before the genre existed

text:
Medicine Sunday is guitarist Oliver Wolf and singer Frank Pupo, bassist Matt Barton and power drummer Steve Reisman.

Several drummers joined Medicine Sunday following a number of departures by Reisman, including Rory Walsh who plays most tracks on this CD.

The band has a hard rock sound with a grungy edge that predates the "grunge" era.

This eponymous first Medicine Sunday CD begins with a commercially palatable version of their popular song Bright. The fast and powerful Great Black Void is one of the tracks on the CD that features backing vocals of Wolf and producer Douglas Catfish Snodgrass. The song is followed by the ripping Power Tripping. The improvised In This Way is a quick glimpse of the improvisational jamming style and versatility explored in the studio. Better Half is the ethereal ballad of the album - soft and loud in the same.

Wolf's guitars are tight and dirty. Pupo's vocals distant at times and in your face at others and Barton holds the guitar and drums together with his solid bass line.

title: Chiara: Singing in English and worth the wait!

text:
*NOTE* 29 Jan 2007: This is a PRELIMINARY review, based on the title video "Nothing at All" now seen in Italy and on the internet.  It will be updated once I can receive my copy of the CD.

*UPDATE* 6 Feb 2007: The CD is available for purchase (and I've already ordered my copy).

For those not sure, this CD is by Chiara Iezzi, one half of the very popular Italian singing duo, "Paola & Chiara" (P&C).  It is also a CD 'single', in that there will be fewer songs than a usual CD.  It is also my understanding that this does NOT mean P&C are breaking up, but something that Chiara wanted to do.

If you like Paola & Chiara, you will like this CD.

The CD has a number of stylistic similarities to recent work such as Per Te (2005) and Fatalita, but with one big difference: she sings in English.  Very good English, with lyrics that feel natural, not a translation forced to fit.  They're good lyrics, a love song, but not pap.  And Chiara has spent a lot of time perfecting her pronunciation.  It's not awkward and stilted, but comes out as relaxed and natural as if she were singing this in Italian.

As noted, this is a preliminary review, based on two tracks (there are at least two versions of "Nothing at All" on the CD).  When I know more, I'll update this.

title: Nicely complex

text: Very interesting phrasing. Harmonic in the best sense of the word.


title: Garbage

text: This is no better then teenage garage band crap.If you really want Outlaws music, visit [...] .Save your money, this is not good.


title: Nice 80's Rush !

text: A nicely done personal recording from Rush in the 80's, this is someone who recorded the concert themselves. Sound quality is not what you would expect from a true production, but all in all- nice to listen to at normal levels,<br />Great for the Rush fan who needs it all !


title: Twice-Celebrate

text: The songs in the album are awesome, so glad I was able to get this album. The fact that it had the song doughnut made me even happier and more willing to buy it. Totally recommend this to anyone who loves K-pop and J pop


title: Wonderful Classical Instrumental Music

text:
Whether  you are a christian or not, it's the type of orchestrated, classical music of violin, cello, piano, and the beautiful sounds of harp that will fill the void in you heart with faith, hope, joy, and love.  I used to own the now-obsolete audio tapes of Praise Strings 5,6,8,& 11. It was this same music that lead me to God and Christ back in 1992, twenty years ago. Whether your preferences are secular, new-age, or neo-classical, or other type of music, you will find in this music a muse so  uplifting,  insightful, wispering, and possitive to your ear.

I can't recommend it highly enough.

title: Disappointed With Instrument Mix on this remastered CD

text: I am a fan of Schubert and the Beaux Arts Trio. I am sure that the Beaux Arts Trio did a nice job in performing these trios, but I was disappointed with the mixing of instruments(strings vs. piano} on this remastered CD.To me, the strings seemed distant and not distinct enough. It sounded to me as if the piano was near the microphone and the strings were 30 feet away.

title: GOSPEL OF THE LATE 80`S

text: I WAS ONLY 6 WHEN THIS ALBUM CAME OUT IN 1987. BUT BOY DID I ENJOY IT. EVERY SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE GOING TO CHURCH MY MOM WOULD PLAY ONE OF HER GOSPEL ALBUMS,LIKE REV.MILTON BRUNSON, THE WINANS,WILMINGTON CHESTER MASS CHOIR ETC.AND WHEN MY MOM WOULD BUY A NEW ALBUM IT WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE SHE WOULD PLAY. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS ON THIS ALBUM WAS LORD U MADE A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE.I ALWAYS LIKED THE BEAT TO THAT SONG(SMILE)AND FOR THOSE OF U THAT DON`T, THIS WAS THE FIRST CHOIR THAT YOLANDA ADAMS STARTED WITH. I FORGOT WHICH SONG SHE SANGS ON HERE.NOW BECAUSE THIS IS A TAPE U WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEE HER.BUT BECAUSE MY PARENTS HAD THE RECORD ALBUM THAT WAS BIGER THAN MY WHOLE FACE I COULD TELL THAT IT WAS HER.SHE IS ON THE SECOND ROW AND SHE IS THE LAST ONE ON THE RIGHT. SHE HAS THE MUSHROOM HAIR STYLE FOR ALL OF U THAT REMEMBER THAT(SMILE)BUT IF U WANTED TO FIND SOME GOOD SONGS TO TEACH TO THE CHOIR AND CHANGE UP THE BEATS THAN THIS WOULD BE A GOOD ALBUM TO GET.


title: Love x 3

text: I first got this for my first baby in 2004 in a gift set.  She loved it and used it every night till her sister was born five years later.  Her daddy made big sister a copy to keep and The disk was worn not long after sister was born so we bought another one I found on eBay well here we are 5 years later and another little girl has a worn copy so I just ordered our third copy of the disk tonight on Amazon.  lol.  All of my kids love these lullabies.  I am so happy to have been able to share them with all three of my children.

These rubber tips are simply enchanting. I am not sure if these were named after the beautiful Villa Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami or the Vizcaya province in Spain which is home to one of the most captivating shorelines on the Spanish coast which is also the most prosperous and important provinces in Spain. Either way - the name suits this Rubber Endpin Tip. It is beautiful in it's simplicity and very important to the cello, or more specifically, the music.

Well done, bravo!!!


title: Good service

text: Item arrived as promised


title: Starker is the man!

text: I am a non-musician, but a huge fan of both Starker and Bach. I own almost every version of the cello suites on the market and this version is by far my favorite. I find it soulful, unpretentious, well-tempered, and almost at the edge of the impossible in its virtuosity. When Starker plays Bach, there seems to be a magical synergy of souls.  I find both Rostropovich's and Yo-Yo Ma's interpretation to be too fast and a bit cool. (But again, this isn't my expertise, just a frank visceral reaction to the sound.)


title: Worth it for me!

text: I found that the split track works in one of my laptops, but doesn't completely lower the sound of the voices on the other.  I consider this a laptop problem, though.  The CD is very helpful.  I have enough to think about for teaching this program to the kids that I don't want to have to think about accompaniment also.  It is also nice that I can bring up the voices where they need a little more help.

text: I was looking for this CD which is no longer publishing.  I am glad to find it.  I love most of the songs in this CD.

title: Cornell Siblings

text:
What surprises me is that this doesn't get the recognition you'd think a Cornell project would.

This is a great cd!  I own it... I saw them opening up for the Lovemongers (Ann Wilson & Nancy Wilson of Heart, Sue Ennis, Frank... what?  I forgot Frank's last name).  They put on an amazing show!!!  They were way more animated on stage than you'd be able to tell from the album.  But, damn... I had always hoped they would have continued with the success of Chris Cornell.


title: wow. everyone must listen

text: they are all good, but the last cd is awesome. a revelation of how much He loves us, changed my life.
