title: Cold War Russian Prog

text:
This is an intersting album that was secretly recorded in a Moscow hotel 1982-1984, in a time rock music was banned in the Soviet Union.
The music is a nice blend of the prog side of mid-period Genesis and some nice flourishes of traditional Euro prog. Lots of wonderful synth's and the vocals, although sung in Russian are quite good.
If you are looking for something from a part of the world we never thought had even heard of progressive rock, this proves that prog lives even where forbidden!

text: I would love to see this album reissued just so I can get her version of "Diamond Lil" which I first heard on KWFM radio in Tucson, Arizona back in the early 70's when I was stationed there at Davis Monthan AFB....Her version of that song was incredible and very sexy....Maybe she could just release that song on some sort of compilation cd....Anyway would love to have it again...My LP collection has long gone with all of the moving around that I have done...cd's and digital make it so much more convenient to take all  of your music with you


title: Seeds of Children one of his best songs...

text: Wow...Please Si Kahn re-release this album on either cd or make it available on iTunes of something...Just so I can get the song "Seeds of Children" which is one of the best songs you have ever written...Not to mention it is a good album.

title: Truly UNIQUE Classical Guitar

text:
I first heard the Guitar Concerti Nos. 1 & 2 on an old cassette tape from the Musical Heritage Society.  This compilation from Philips Classics presents not only these but the Concerto No. 3 as well.

Additionally, there are several other Giuliani works for Guitar & Orchestra, solo Guitar pieces, and the "Variazioni Concertanti", a duet with Celedonio Romero.

These compositions are rarely performed or recorded.  Giuliani's works are UNIQUE among the genre of Classical Guitar composition... reflecting as they do, that transitional period  between the "Classic" and the "Romantic".

Any devotee of Classical Guitar music who is not aware of Giuliani's work, is truly missing something!!!


title: Country Rock CD!!!

text: I love all music...and I love covers...everyone of these are very good and the artists put their own interpretations and persona to the task perfectly and I recommend you give it a listen!


title: Music box cd

text: Great cd collection of old and new tunes for those wishing to experience the beautiful resonance of either the newer Porter music box represented in this collection or the antique Regina. Purchased for the song "Laura's<br />Theme" from Dr. Zhivago. Something for everyone on this cd, you will be pleased!

text: It's good for a used cd.  So far no issues.


title: Finally! The complete soundtrack!

text: I've been a huge fan of the movie Black Rain since it came out in theaters in 1989. One of the main reasons is the soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. Previously only a portion was available on the original soundtrack. Now with the 2 disc release, the complete score is available for the first time. It's vintage Hans Zimmer, and the final minute or so of "Charlie Loses His Head" is still adrenaline pumping. As a bonus, the original soundtrack release is included here, so you get both the complete score, and the original soundtrack. A win-win.


title: The Juice is Loose!  Best rock album of 2006!

text: Yes, Do That and You'll Lose It, by Juicy Lucy, was the best rock album released in 2006, and the world doesn't know it!  This is a seriously hard rocking album.  I love it!  It ain't Led Zeppelin, but it's close.  The songs have a swing and a swagger with a sense of humor.  Seriously, this album was made to be played loud.  Vocalist Ray Owen has been around since the late sixties, and his voice is spot on for this music.  A great bunch of musicians back the singer, and guitarist Fish delivers some serious hard rock riffage.  Album opener "Silver Bird" is an up-tempo rocker, while "Making a Name" has some Stonesy guitar licks going.  "Species" is based on the sci-fi movie series of the same name and is quite grim and spooky.  It's a must if you're a fan of those movies. "Only When You Know" provides a slower moment before "Freedom" kicks the rock back in.  There's not a weak track on here.  It all rocks.  These guys should've been playing stadiums after this album's release.  As it happened, this was the last Juicy Lucy album to feature Ray Owen, and the band has carried on as a three-piece led by guitarist Fish, leaving no original members.  If you like classic rock bands from the seventies or modern rock bands like The Darkness, get this album because it kicks MAJOR BOO-TAY!

title: I first came to love the Riverside Church in New York City in my ...

text: I first came to love the Riverside Church in New York City in my teenage years when the incomparable Virgil Fox was organist. As a small child I learned to love organ music from the many funerals and weddings my parents made me attend and when I first heard Virgil play the mighty organ at Riverside I was hooked.  Through the decades great organists have sat before the console to perform and it had always been a dream of mine to one day have an album of music played on the great Riverside organ by some of the former organists from this historic church and my dream is now a reality.  Over the years I have collected albums by various of the Riverside organists but to have one album where you can hear the vast talents of five musicians closely associated with this organ is a pure delight.  No true afficionado of organ music and devotee of the Riverside organ should pass up the chance to have this album. My only regret is that no one thought to include one of Virgil's recital pieces from his years there.  Regardless you will not be disappointed!


Dan Miller hold his own with ease in the world of organ music and when he dedicated the new organ at Calvary Church in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1990, he carefully chose music that would showcase the brilliance and majestry of this great new instrument.  His selections could not have been a more perfect ensemble to evoke the true sounds and bravura that his talented fingers coaxed from the keys and pedals. For me to pick out one selection I considered my all time favorite was difficult; they all were spectacular renditions but two that spoke to me in ways not easy to describe were Virgil Fox's arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Come, Sweet Death" and "Variations on 'O God, Our Help in Ages Past'".  Following closely on those were excerpts from "The William Tell Overture" and David German's "Trumpet Tune".  Dan Miller is known for his own personal transcriptions of well loved hymns and melodies and each one speaks to the listener in a personal way.  Having been heavily involved with the design and overall completion of this great Moller organ, it would seem only right for one so involved with its construction should be the one to sit at the console on the day of its dedication.  For organ afficionado's who love and appreciate great organ music, this album is a must.

title: Good Listening

text: The songs certainly sound alot cleaner on compact disc compared to listening on my old static filled am radio.This single disc covers some golden years of song writing.I would recommend this item.74,good year for tunes!


title: A sensational documentary.

text: I really did like this documentary about the journey that Armin is taking in his life creating the best art form techno-dance ethereal music which i do honestly love and listen to everyday in my car or at my house or with friends while just hanging out,everybody starts to move to the beat and of course to the variety of the sounds created by him.I do highly recommend to any music fan to get this type of music cause it is precious and very strong in a sens that you will enjoy it and get hooked to Armin music.I do own almost every album and i will get them all.The music is not boring with sometimes a good rythm of words sung by female and male artist vocalists.I am really in tune with Armin Van Buuren music,and i do love it.

title: A GREAT BAND!!!

Anybody who remembers the early 70's Pete Gabriel Genesis group will just love
The Watch. I have all Seven cds by The Watch. And they are all sensational. As I
said, if you loved Genesis with Gabriel, you will fall in love all over again with this
band. If you close your eyes you will swear it's Gabriel singing! This is an Italian
band and believe me, these guys are stupendous! Do yourself a favor, listen to this band!

title: Another winner from New Zealand's finest

text:
The title is a bit misleading.  "3 EPs" is not a collection but indeed a full-length release from Tall Dwarfs, divided into 3 parts.  The vinyl version was released as 3 separate 10" records in one box set.

The first portion, A Question of Medical Ethics, consists of 6 concise, catchy bursts of lo-fidelity pop songs comparable to early works of 90s bands like Guided By Voices and Pavement and just about any band associated with the Elephant 6 collective (Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, etc.).

The second part, Up the Down Staircase, kicks off with a longer, repetitive, experimental number called "Neusyland" (perhaps a send up to the Germany motorik masters Neu!). "Bob's Yer Uncle" has a slightly demented carnival waltz vibe throughout. This middle chapter is definitely more unsettling than the opening section, though it ends with the music hall show tune "Ain't It Funny."

The third and final section, Sam's Spaniel, sets off with "Senile Dementia," a gentle number that delicately floats along to the chime of a toy keyboard and guest appearances from Pavement members Bob Nostanovich and Scott "Spiral Stairs" Kannberg.  These guests reappear a couple songs later on the absurd highlight "Postmodern Deconstructivist Blues".  "Bee to Honey" is a return to the driving pop romp of the first part of the disc, whereas "Self-Deluded Dream Boy (In A Mess)" resurfaces the inevitable sinister sounding vocal that Knox seems required to delve into a few times on every recording he releases.

Throughout the disc, Tall Dwarfs members Chris Knox and Alec Bathgate manage their usual feat of combining strong songwriting with creative, innovative experimentation and ornamental arrangements of the songs.  While this is certainly a good starting point for Tall Dwarfs, Hello Cruel World and Fork Songs may be slightly better introductions to the band, song-for-song.  Regardless, this is a 5 star release and worthy of their legacy as lo-fi experimental pop pioneers.


title: Truly Down Home Blues!

text: Hi! We used to have this on LP. But now-you got it on CD--and that is great! This is truly down home blues! I have quite a bit of tracks that I really will enjoy! Thank you so much for this fantastic CD! I know I will enjoy this one! I like Ko Ko Taylor's 'All Night Long'-I dig Little Milton's--(well I forgot that one,) but it's a slow type song with quite a bit of groove to it! I also enjoy 2 of ZZ Hill's songs 'Down Home Blues,' and 'Bump and Grind'.All of this is sooo groovy!! You know-I really look forward to getting this CD-quite a pack of some good ol' bit of blues! I just want you all to know how deeply grateful I am for having this on CD!! We've been looking for it a long time in the past, but to no success. Now I remember Amazon--my favorite shopping site-you had it--yaaayy! Thank you once more for this--you rock!!


title: Update in style, production and arrangement gives new life

text: The first official Graveland album, before "Epilogue" and "In the Glare of Burning Churches" summarized copious demo tapes, was "Carpathian Forests." On this album were majestic metal melodies slashed out in fast punkish riffing, with unholy screeching and mounds of feedback and chaotic distortion swarming over the music. It was difficult to hear, the songs were basic, and for many, the vision was not real. Fast forward: having perfected his studio work in its mixture of keyboards, sampled sounds and well-toned but frenetically distorted guitar, the mastermind behind Graveland re-creates these songs in longer, more subtle arrangements with stratospheres of instrumental contributions stacked on simple riffs played well on a backgrounded guitar. The result is probably best for recommended for Graveland fanatics, but its appeal also exists anyone who relishes an immersion in music like an unfamiliar daydream.


title: Watch a truly alienated band develop its concept in sound

text: The early material of this band shows both the hardcore punk roots of much of the songwriting, and the aspirations of early black metal to be like classical music from the land of the dead. The result, several degrees of music growing from being simple three-riff bangers to micro-symphonies, is as destructively vile and alienated as any black metal band would hope to be. When all of its blistering guitar rage and throat-ripped vocals are translated in the mind of the listener into changes in pitch and rhythm, what distills from the experience is a passion toward existence turned bleak by its incompatibility with the society of its time. Good release, but fans who want consistency should seek "Thousand Swords" or "The Celtic Winter" instead.


title: Atmospheric nihilist grinding black metal

text: Made from a fragment of riff a few chords tossed into a rhythm and set to hypnotic motion with grinding distortion and a gravel-voiced chanting alternating with clean singing, Ildjarn is the farthest black metal gets in this direction. Pummeling constant rhythm of the drum machine variety guides two-finger riffs which run through short melodies in short poems of riff shape and tone. While some will criticize this for being too "cult" in that it is ultimately, extremely raw, its will toward being is strongly expressed in this form and that alone transcends novelty. For those who enjoy the pure power of a simple blasting riff or the poetry of minimalism that Norwegian black metal has traditionally offered, this is an excellent extreme album.


title: great buckethead unreleased songs

text: great cd most from population override sessions great wah and hendrix like solos with buckethead great rythum guitar if you love buckethead get it!


title: Time-Life Collections are worth every penny.

text: This is the perfect fusion of Indie-rock with some beautiful piano and a hint of orchestra; and the singer has such range and power! When so many bands sound alike, this is a musical oasis. I highly recommend it for everyone. But, if you have ever been in the perfect-imperfect relationship, you will find your voice in Making April.

title: Excellent recordings of Karajan's conducting German march Music!

text: This is greatly recommended! Herbert Von Karajan has once again displayed his artistic conducting skill.  You won't be sorry for purchasing this recording.


title: One of The Best Compilations of the 80's

text: I bought this on cassette back in 1985. It is possibly the best compilation of 80's music ever put out. All of these songs can be found on albums by these artists, with a few exceptions. Peter Gabriel's "Shock the Monkey" is a slightly longer mix than the album version. "Show Me" by the Pretenders is a live version not found anywhere else. "Save The World" by George Harrison is a different mix than on his "Somewhere In England" album. There are some great 80's gems on this collection. "Killing Time" by Queen's Roger Taylor is a great syth & drum machine romp, and "Let's All Make A Bomb" by Heaven 17 sums up the cold war mood of the 80's perfectly. There are also songs by Thomas Dolby, Kate Bush, Depeche Mode, Howard Jones, and the Eurythmics. The compilation has a great musical flow, and is great to sit and listen to from start to finish. I have searched for this on CD for quite some time, and even though it is expensive, it is worth the price.


One of the best if not the best live concerts on cd ...prince is at his best..hasn't lost a step..

title: Not what it was supposed to be

text: I ordered this and it is supposed to encompass 2 cds, but it had the wrong cd in it.  Can't use it.


title: Super-dooper electronic pop.

text: Hi-Posi has inevitably been overshadowed by similarities to Takako Minekawa and Kahimi Karie (especially in the breathy vocals) but goddamnit this stuff is quirky, jazzy electo-pop at its best.  Hard to imagine any even slightly adventurous music fan who wouldn't like this...


title: If you like Depeche Mode and early Nine Inch Nails...

text: Fantastic album of dark Japanese techno-pop.  Very, very catchy stuff  (sometimes very reminescent of "Music for the Masses" era DM and other times more like Ministry) plus cool remixes by Adrian Sherwood and others.  If you like "Pretty Hate Machine", Wax Trax, MUTE and/or techno-goth rock GET THIS NOW!

text: Released in 1994, Four Points in the Valley contains numerous favorites including Noise in the Hallway and Across the Great Divide.  Beautiful vocals coupled with stunning guitar work are the basis for the group's freshman outing.  A must-have!


title: Ms Jackson still has the musical chops!

text: A much more modern (90’ r & b) far less nostalgic or old school sounding musical outing from Millie Jackson but with with her usual themes! Well worth the purchase!


title: Always a pleasure! 🎶🇬🇧

text: Arrived in great condition! Great 🇬🇧 soul music!


title: Not as good as first, but still RIPPING!

text: Let me try to delineate what Limbonic Art's brilliant member Daemon is doing with Sarcoma, Inc: ripping Black/Thrash that is incredibly punishing and unforgiving!  There is a buzzing, terrifying wall of sound on this, that is even more war-like than their first, "Torment Rides Forever".  "The Dark Prophecy" has fewer stand-out riffs, and in fact many of the riffs sound similar, but there ARE cool thrash riffs here, but played in a very grim, Black MeTal style...but not "necro".  Think of a more hyper-speed old Destruction with better production.  Daemon's vocals are a bit different from Limbonic Art material, but similar in hideousness (with SI, he uses a few more "traditional" styles, as well).  There are a few peculiar ambient passages to break up the clanking punishment; I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not?  I may have preferred just non-stop machine-gunnery ala "Panzer Division Marduk", but maybe these breaks(though not "fluffy,happy" sounds by any means...in fact, they're quite morbid!) may be necessary for more "human" listeners.  I will add that the lyrical content is rather primitive and even childish compared to Limbonic Art, but they match the savage power and outright celebration of MeTal that Sarcoma,Inc. is trying to unleash.  Highly recommended to any fan of Daemon's vocal work with L.A. as well as Zyklon(in fact, the music is much closer to Zyklon than L.A., only faster and with more meaty riffs).  Or anybody that enjoys the sound of tanks being driven though walls of sheet metal!  Definitely seek out "Torment Rides Forever", if you think this one sounds good, as well!


title: Truly Frightening

text: This is NOT a MeTal album, it isn't even an album of "music".  It is what is usually termed "ambient", but a sound so-called is merely a sound that just happens to be there(by definition).  The sounds produced by Aghast are clearly well-planned and composed.  There IS indeed "music" on this album, but it usually amounts to different tones produced in different ways, all lurking behind spectral mutterings and chants.  I liken this album to Dreyer's film "Vampyr", only Aghast are WAY creepier!  The theme of the album is witchcraft, and the listener can truly feel transported to a dimly moonlit clearing in a forest, while malevolent witches conspire over a cauldron of rendered human fat.  And now they have noticed YOU!  I shall attempt to describe how it actually sounds, but I fear I shall fail: probably most of the "music" is keyboard-produced, and there is very minimal percussion to be heard, with perhaps only one "song" having a noticeable drum "beat".  This album is so outre', that you'll notice my more-than-usual use of quotation marks.  I honestly can't describe the "music", other than it demonstrates variety from track to track (this isn't an album of monotonous noise).  It would be PERFECT to play in a Halloween Spookhouse, in that all the selections seemed designed to unsettle and even frighten the listener, though there aren't any "cheap scares" (in analogy to film: when the hero is seeking something, the music builds to a tense crescendo, then suddenly a chicken bursts out of the shadows of the barn...).  Perhaps the only clearly recognizable words are after a brief silence at the "end", and suddenly a voice says.....something.  Otherwise, the "vocals" are the afore-mentioned eerie mutterings and intonations.  This now-defunct group was a pair of women, one of which was married to Samoth from Emperor.  Of course, they claimed to be actual "witches", and perhaps they were!  This album is certainly "bewitching" enough.  This is not for casual fans of either ambient OR Black MeTal; it is truly disturbing, though in an ominous, subtle way, rather than being forcefully hideous.  It can't be called "beautiful", nor can it be called "ugly"...as far as I know, it stands utterly alone in the vast universe of "music".  And as a last recommendation/warning: though I enjoy (to the point of obsession) Horror in all forms of Art, whenever I fall asleep with Aghast playing, I invariably have nightmares.  Normally I don't.  Interpret that as you will!  This is a MUST-HAVE jewel for any fan of Horror in Art.


title: Best live Stones around

text: Midnight Rambler, Can't Always Get What You Want and other late sixties classics have new life and perspective, the mid seventies classics are played at their peak.  The band is just gelling so well here.  Everything seems to have the fuzz and sparkle from the Goats Head Soup album. Must have for Stones fans or anybody who likes live rock.  This is historical footage.


title: Absolutely spectacular performance

Ryomei Sharai is an amazing guitarist from Japan. He is best known as a member of The Moonriders. 8 of the 10 tracks are instrumentals. Ryomei plays a wide variety of styles, and this album really highlights his jazz chops. His instrumental cover of Norwegian Wood is a fantastic journey incorporating funky raga beats with his impeccable sense of melody. Every track shows a different aspect of his huge talent. Highly recommended!

The songs are as well loved by the seven year olds as they are by the two year olds. A number of old folk songs, as well as cowboy songs are included and the older children have asked a number of questions that have led to impromptu history lessons. Come to think of it, I love these songs too!


title: ITS SO PERFECT FR

text: ITS PERFECT it came with literally everything it said it would and it even came with the pre-order benefit photo card an official one!!! I’m actually so happy with the order


title: Review

text: I really love it!!


title: He worked hard on this.  14 years.  Great CD.

text: I was there through it all and sat down at his piano and told him to arch his fingers and don’t bang. I was there from the very start to the very end. He loved Beethoven and he wanted to be recognized in a new light through this CD which deviates away from his prior music. It’s a great CD.  It took him 14 years to complete it. I was with him every step of the way.


title: Stellar!

text: Fantastic CD definitely recommend it


title: TWICE!

text: This group is fantastic can't wait to hear more from them


title: doesn't work

text: this item doesn't work at all.  I placed black peppercorns in the mill, & it doesn't matter which setting I have on it,  it still doesn't come out.  Same thing goes for the salt.  What gives?


title: A Vivisection in Wretched Sound

text: The sound on this recording--made on someone's personal recorder during a live performance, not a Saturday broadcast--is execrable. Only a hardened,  must-have-this collector will be able to derive the slightest pleasure from these discs. Crespin's performance is (to the extent it can be heard) very fine, and the only other souvenirs of her interpretation I know of derive from Buenos Aires in 1965 with di Stefano and Taddei, and 1962 (excerpts only) with Gianni Raimondi and, again, Taddei. These can be heard on Ponto PO 1057. Corelli's great Cavaradossi is well-documented. Poor George London is experiencing what must have been among the worst performances of his career. He is at the very end of his rope, and sounds like he's hanging from it by the neck. It's a performance so painful, so humiliating, that nobody who respects and admires London's great, tragic career would want to listen to this. It's like vivisection. Other excellent Scarpia performances by George London can be found--this set is to be avoided.


title: Love this CD.

text: Arrived as expected and in good shape.

text: One of the greatest albums that people need to hear! Also, check out the printing error on the back of the cover, it's a picture of Gang of Four xD their album "Entertainment!" contains the phrase "hello Mekons" on the sliver.

title: The Alex Harvey Band WAS sensational!

text: Groundbreaking collection from Scotland's greatest late 70's/early 80's band...Alex Harvey sounds 1/2 like Bon Scott and 1/2 like the circus ringleader. They rocked like AC/DC on songs like Midnight Moses, Action Strasse, St. Anthony and Faith Healer will shredding blues on like Framed and their version of I Just Want To Make Love To You. Top it off with brilliant show tunes like Sergent Fury and Cheek To Cheek (blowing Fred Astaire out of the water)! Alex Harvey was the progressive Scottish rocker of all time. This is the "greatest hits" collection to get started with!


title: Bill Nelson rules

text: Another wunderkind of a smooth album by the thoroughly prolific Bill Nelson. Get lost in this one, then replay!


title: Great soul label comp!

text: Worth it alone just for the Holland-Dozier-Holland songs and the Chairman Of The Board hits...Freda Payne, Parliament and Laura Lee also deliver.


title: Wailing Dervishes, not the other guys...

text: This is the Wailing Dervishes, the excellent jazz combo - not Whirling Dervishes, you numbskull.


title: King Tubby's magic touch on Larry Marshall

text: The great rasta singer gets the King Tubby treatment here and it's fabulous. Rather than read my blathering...just read the four long pages of liner notes when you buy this. The dubs are divine...you'll get lost in the slap backs and the smoke. :)


title: If the Stones came from Tucson...

text: ...they might have sounded like this. Van Christian (drummer from Green On Red) leads a fine cast through opening rocker One Even Stand, then down the long & winding blues road with Yardman, Dr Brown, Blue Tick Hound and onward. Like a wonderful Exile On Main Street outtake, I Saw The Light finds Van preaching the Gospel and making you believe it. This is a great little gem from 1988 - come back and see us sometime, Van!


title: Quality good when complete.

text: Like cd. I enjoy old radio shows. Some of shows not complete. Would end halfway through. Overall pretty entertaining.


title: Very enjoyable series - good music

text:
I acquired this cd some time ago, and every so often I listen to it and remember fondly the TV Mini Series from which it came.

I really wish they would release the series on dvd.  I really loved it and the music was very appropriate.  Some people have critised it and called it cheesy but I found it very enjoyable.  I had never heard of Greg Wise before (he plays the chief vamp) and I thought he did very well.  Terri Polo I have seen around in other stuff, and of course, one of my favourite actors of all time, Adrian Pasdar, plays the detective trying to come to terms with what's going on.

Please please please release this on dvd, but meanwhile listen to the cd and use your imagination.


title: Five Stars

text: Great to listen to while opening up gifts


title: Great Afro-Beat Resource!

text:
I am appreciating the way the author wrote notation out for each separate instrument. This allows you to really solidify each part before attempting to play the entire groove. The notation is off on some of the written examples, but you can figure it out by referring to the individual parts that were previously mentioned.
The CD samples sound a bit “synthetic”, however you can absolutely get an idea of what the overall groove should sound like...and then make it your own!
Overall, I am VERY pleased with this book/CD combo.

title: Best Mountain

text: Best of the Mountain albums, this is a rock mAsterpiece.


This rare recording is the most important recording ever made of the Procession and Mass of the Purification (Feb. 2). I was delighted to obtain it from this dealer.


title: Great

text: I bought this cd and it shipped fromGermany so it took a while but in the end I got it and that's what matters!


title: great cd

text: I am so glad I was able to get my hands on a real copy of this album! I compared this copy with the fake modern bootleg, and this is the real deal. Definitely get this album, Origin really is one of their best albums in my opinion. Worth the money!


title: Good Quality Item But Expensive

text: This is a good quality product. It costs about 30% more here than buying directly from the Littleton company, but I had Amazon gift cards to use.


title: Five Stars

text: Love it


title: Really great stuff for kids

text: Gave this to my grandchildren for Christmas. Excellent stuff. I have always appreciated Steve Green. He is a terrific witness for Christ in everything he does.


title: Not great

text: Took 3 weeks to arrive. Then I discovered this is not the Ray Charles arrangement. It's a fairly simplified version I am not familiar with that opens with a completely unknown verse I've never heard before in my life.


title: Five Stars

text: Greatest Greek modern day singer


title: Easy Listening at its Best

text: Great quality retro CD.  Ed Ames has a velvety smooth baritone and carries these great old songs off with tender feeling and polish.  The sixties instrumentals are  a little jarring at first , but after a few hearings add to the overall charm of<br />this  lovely  retro  recording.


title: Great classically done Christmas cd

text: Great Christmas cd. Had this as a tape years ago and wanted to replace it with a cd. Classically performed holiday songs.


title: Beautiful

text: Most Beautiful Collaboration of Best of The Bee Gees re-recorded songs Love it so much


title: Complicated charts, fuzzy intonation, poor sound

text:
Arrangements: In the liner notes, Jim McNeely writes that B. Brookmeyer “had abandoned the conventional tune/chorus structure of writing for big band.” I wish he hadn’t. The “nod to Bela Bartok” makes this CD un-listenable. If I wanted to listen to Bartok, that is what I would have done (but why torture my ears?). If I had known of the Bela Bartok reference in advance, I would have passed on this album.
Playing: Despite self-promoting notes signed by members of the band, the poor intonation makes listening even more unpleasant. Just listen to the beginnings of tracks 3 and 4 – can you make out which chords they are actually playing? With such complicated charts one would hope the band would be better rehearsed; or perhaps these charts are too difficult for this particular band.
Sound: The mastering sucked all the life out of this album. The impression is one of overzealous compression. The music sounds as if it is trapped between two pillows: bleak, and lacking in spark and dynamics. It reminds me of CDs from the early 80s; the type of sound that compels me to pull an LP instead, which I did. I listened to the 1961 album called, “Holiday Judy & Gerry in their only recordings together” (DRG SL 5191), where Bob Brookmeyer is playing. What a relief after this overly compressed fog! Clear, concise, full, rich, and vivid sound, excellent intonation, all despite being recorded on a 3-track.
In Summary: This is a recording that I had high hopes for but regrettably, is the type one listens to once and then puts on the shelf to collect dust. If you like Bartok, this recording holds some hope for you… I'll stick with vintage Thad Jones/Mel Lewis recordings


title: One Star

text: I was not happy with the cd it was not close to what I wanted!!!! Very very disappointed


title: Great compositions

text: Akiyoshi is proving she's one of the greatest composers in jazz


title: Awesome Unique Christmas Music - Pick this up ASAP

text: Found this CD years ago at a Best Buy and it has become a staple around Christmas Time at our house. The reggae spin is done really well and isn't over the top at all. If your Christmas music seems a bit stale at times, this is a sure-fire way to kick the holiday spirit into gear. Pick this CD up, well worth it.

title: Vintage records

text: One helluva deal! All records were playable, even though I just bought them for aesthetic purposes.


title: Great set of music

text:
Great set of music. I bought this used through Amazon for $13.00, and for that price, this collections is really hard to beat. Not every song can really be considered a hit and in some cases it never even charted. However, has a ton of favorites from the 50s and 60s, with some songs that are really hard to find. As far as i can tell, these are all original recordings and sound just fine.

The packaging is nice and compact. 10 cardboard sleeves in a tidy box, i really like it. Each sleeve has different art work, the song list on the back, the year the song was released and where it topped on the charts. Nice touch.

My only little complaint is that the cardboard sleeves, don't have the CD number anywhere on the sleeve. As the sleeves just sit freeform in the box, it means keeping them in order is difficult (in fact, they are arrived completely out of order so needed to use the back of the box and the songs on the cds to figure out which is which).

Last thing: everywhere online i looked for the track list, the set included Oh What a Night by the Dells. This was a song i was most excited to add to my collection. For some reason though, this was replaced in this set with Sixteen Tons by TN Ernie Ford. A great song in its own right, but i happen to already have it.

text: Sound quality is overall pretty good.  Now that The Stones are releasing other live recordings from that period, it fits in with any collection of the Stones early Mick Taylor years.

This has the Universe album plus thier previous album.
Good value. If you like your tunes to be faster than most of that era
this is a must buy.

title: Good musical quality

text: Scripture memory is so important for children and adults alike. Often it's hard to commit verses to long term memory, but I have found that putting the verses to song helps it go deep into the memory for easy retrieval. There are several musical memory verse cds on the market, but my kids (ages 2 & 5) prefer GT & the Halo Express over other ones. They like that there is a story that goes along with each cd. I appreciate that the music is truly musical with catchy harmonies. We enjoy listening to the cds while in the home or car.

text: I purchased this because a great friend of mine passed a few months ago and she had written a letter to her siblings, children, and one to grandchildren.  Her request of music was The Singing Cookes: "I want us to be together in Heaven"  I had to have it  thank you it means more than anyone will ever know, Everyone should listen to the words.


title: Gotta Have HEART!!!

text: This was a solid choice, esp for road trips!! I love the whole HEART catalogue, & having a Greatest Hits collection on board for the drives is fabulous!! Since I may use my phone for directions or hands-free working en route, the cds are a great option. Nice choices that show off what a great talent these women have in any configuration of bands -- & HEART still gives Led Zeppelin the run on Their music!! The live cut is fantastic!! So great to be able to get this!!

title: Simply great music

text: I've seen Off Kilter a few times at Epcot and they're an amazing band.  This album captures their fine musicianship and sense of humor.  The traditional songs are all excellent.  However, I also like their original material.  Like You is a great, bright song.  Roll the windows down in the car (or put the top down) and just crank it up.  I love the blending of bagpipes and other "non traditional" instruments with rock music.  If you're new to Off Kilter this is a great album to introduce yourself to their music.


title: BUY ME!

title: Lovely, melodic "Peacock Southeast Flew" pipa concerto by Nancy Van de Vale.

text:
Nancy Van de Vate is a terrific and undervalued composer.  She has composed several beautiful "Asian"
pieces, including "Peacock Southeast Flew," "Gema Jawa," and the Balinese piece, "Pura Besakih" for orchestra. She is currently 92 years old. I see her as a very important bridge and synthesis between East and West, and I feel her visionary music is ahead of her time. She helps to enrich a music listener like me
in paths of unity in diversity and appreciation for beautiful cross cultural musical works.


title: Excellent SACD sound of the great E. Power Biggs playing organ showpieces by J.S. Bach and others.

text: I was very grateful to receive this terrifically re-mastered organ disc by E. Power Biggs from the past.<br />A wonderful addition to great organ recordings.


title: Paul Gilson's The Sea is a moving naturescape, full of melody, drama and wild beauty

text:
It's not easy to find Paul Gilson's music. However, the search is worth it. His music is terrific in its color,
rhythms and tonal beauty.  The De Boeck Symphony is also wonderful, but for me not as captivating
as the Gilson, which joins works about the sea by other composers, such as Britten's Peter Grimes,
Sainton's Moby Dick, Frank Bridge's, The Sea, Alfred Hill's The Sea, Ciurlonis' The Sea and Glazunov's The Sea.
Also, not to forget Alfven's Sym. 4 ("The Outermost Skerries") and Atterberg's Sym. 3 ("West Coast Pictures.")
and Bax's On the Sea-Shore and Mediterranean. Finally, Dewey's wonderful symphony. 2 ("Ex Oceano").


title: Bruno Walter Mahler Sym. 4 - Seefried, soprano soloist, is outstanding. Varese Sarabande VCD 47228.

text:
The recording is clear and well transferred, especially for its age - 8/24/1950.
Walter takes a leisurely pace that unfolds naturally. Irmgard Seefried, the soprano soloist,
sings sweetly without any stridency in her voice. A great performance and perhaps the best
of at least 7 different recordings that Walter made of this symphony. Hilda Gueden is also a fine soloist
in another performance. Walter knew Mahler personally and deeply resonates with this work.


title: Unusual and dramatically beautiful transcriptions of Rachmaninoff

text: I enjoy and resonate with the mingling of pipe organ and piano.


title: Beautiful devotional music

text: I love the music of Merrill Jenson, especially Windwalker soundtrack.


title: chesnokov - Golden Series of Russian choral music

text: This is a wonderful recording of sacred Russian choral music - beautiful and heartfelt - excellent in every good way.

text: Product as described. Fast service.


title: The Best Purchase EVER!

text: It is one of the best purchases I have made this year.  My granddaughter and I sing the songs on the way to school and it changes the saddest moods.  We also end up breaking out in song the rest of the afternoon and evening!

title: cool, smart as a double breasted suit

text: Celia Yancy, what ever became of you ? What a voice, what a woman. Sassy, cool, smart as a double breasted suit, not to mention, just beautiful. When she sang, if the hairs on the back of your neck did'nt stand on end then, you dead boy !  Best female artist in my collection, up there with the wonderful Kim Cairns, Maggie Bell, Janis Joplin, ect.  SOMEBODY PLEASE PUT THIS ON CD .  Its almost criminal. Cannot find anything out about this Lady, why only one album. Weird, its almost as if she never existed. Strange cover, classic album.


title: What a beautiful voice she has

text: I have this album, purchased from a friend many years ago, and upon receipt i thought, just another country album. I could not have been more wrong.  This is a gem !  Over the following years i have grown to admire this LADY more and more. What a beautiful voice she has, and what a stunning collection of songs there are on this LP.  Why she was not more well known i have no idea. This album is an crucial part of my library and i could not be without it. Like so many other artist ( ie Celia Yancy for one ) that deserve to have updated releases on CD, for some reason are totally ignored.  I would buy this today if only i could. Never owed your other album Sami , but sure wish i did. Looking towards the day both of your albums are released on CD Sami Jo.  A late Fan.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent


title: Avoid this bland EDM record.

text: Interesting as a memorabilia piece, but falls short musically. Canned percussion, minimal keyboard riffs, and tepid synth drones turn this fun pop record rather beige. If you want a great What A Girl Wants remix, buy the regular single instead; the "smooth remix" has a stylish reharmonization and production that really works. (Depending on which version you buy, you may also get the kitschy-but-charming B-side "Too Beautiful For Words," a ballad that inconceivably did not replace "Blessed" on the debut album.) Best leave this remix album to collectors.


title: I've Got A Crush On You!

text:
Following the moderately successful first single "In My Pocket" comes along "Crush". This track is thank god, much more mature than Aaron Carter's "Crush On You" but not as appealing as Jennifer Paige's "Crush" of a few years back. This "Crush" talks about new found teenage love with Mandy singing about having a secret crush on a guy who she is relatively close friends with. This is the Australian edition of the single and it contains four tracks and the track listing is as follows:
1. Crush (Remix) 3.58
2. Crush (Album Version) 3.44
3. In My Pocket (Brandnew Remix) 3.29
4. Album Medley (Turn The Clock Around / Cry / Saturate Me / When I Talk To You) 2.57
The first track is a more enhanced and edgier version of the song therefore having the album version on the single seems rather pointless because there is so little difference between the two but oh well, at least you can tell what the difference is when you have the album version around to compare the remix with. The Brandnew Remix of "In My Pocket" contains beats that sounds surprisingly similar to Christina Milan's recent hit "AM To PM", you'll know what I mean when you hear it because it's so similar and instantly recognizable. Lastly, the last track would probably be the most intriguing as it's a specially mixed album medley containing four album tracks. By I was slightly disappointed in the sense that there was no overlaying between the songs and that they weren't mixed in together. The change is very noticeable as one song stops as the next one starts. Technically speaking, there are only three songs but the last track makes this single a worth while purchase.


title: One Star

text: Very disappointing!


title: One Of A Kind!

text:
This is Kriteen's second album with Jeff White. Much better than her first and well engineered/mixed. It is an excellent work.

I'm not into pegging artists into a genre hole, but if one must, she is impossible to catagorize, but I think all of the following are present on this recording, funk, techno-pop, alternative, progressive, jazz, rock, new wave, punk, plus some vocal and lyrical craziness all mixed together. Definitely a different style and one of her best, not to mention this is a two musician band.

Kristeen has a style and character all her own but, a combination of Tori Amos and Liz Phair would be my closest artistic comparison.

Note: RIP OFF WARNING! This CD is advertised as used here for $99.99 You can buy this disc BRAND NEW for $15.00 from Tony Visconti, Kristeen's producer via her website, [...]


title: Defective CD

text: I had this recording as a cassette tape back in the day, and I loved it.  This particular CD would have been good, except for the 8 second blip in track 4, and the 39 second blip in track 7.


title: Brilliant !!

text: Word Up - absolutely brilliant version of this old song, great cover and Korn shown in very different light - smashing combination! Remix is a little less heavy, more mechanic - but also great. Live "Brick" is a pearl too, and check out the Word Up video - another sick idea of Korn boys!! Must see !


title: Bible TV Themes

text: This Album was really good. I enjoyed all the familiar tv themes done with biblical accounts in the lyrics. Some of the songs sound as if the original performers redid the themes. Myf Favorites are Noah's Theme; Jonah's Theme; Hey, Hey, We're The Christians; Believe it or not; Mary and Joseph's Theme and The Ballad of Job.


title: Great music

text: One of Def Leppard’s best.


title: Disappointed in the size.

text: These are much smaller than I was hoping for. Really disappointing. The diameter is to small to allow for much light throw. They are pretty for a small area but not for around the pool.


title: and I don't have to recommend it to you

text: it's 311 Evolver, if you're buying this. You know why, and I don't have to recommend it to you. I was very happy with the shipping and condition. it was everything I expected


title: The history of these records

text: I am very well with these records.


title: Solid end-to-end

text: Bought it only on the merit of the first track that played on some German hochschulradios, totally love it.  Punk sounding vocals over dance beat bass lines - a very fresh and somewhat unique style.  MTK is great!


title: Overjoyed to find this!

text: My girlfriend found her original Midnight Rock CD while cleaning out her basement and was heart broken to discover it would not play.  I surprised her by finding this copy on Amazon.  It looked and played just fine.  She was overjoyed.

text: Bono and the boy caught live at London's Marquee Club in late 1980. The release of their first album "Boy" was two months away and man, were they HUNGRY! All of the tools of the U2 arsenal were right up front and blasting. You can tell from the sheer energy that they exude from the stage that the crowd must have been going bonkers. This is one of those shows that you wish you could have attended or that there was more that had been recorded for posterity, it is just that good. Soundboard quality recording. No gripes at all except for its length. Long live Rock and Roll! - Bob Gillespie avid listener for 39 tears (oh my God!)


title: Great album

text: I was up in Floyd, VA recently and picked up this mountain gospel CD. These kids do a great job. The songs (music & lyrics) are clear & simple to pick up. The kids perform with true precision and never miss a lick. If you like good, clean Blue Ridge/Smokey Mountain Gospel music, you will enjoy this album!


title: An Amazing Album

text: I also am surprised that more reviews have not been created. Thanks to a friend in college (1981), I heard the work of JD Blackfoot. The Song of Crazy Horse is top flight musicianship and song writing. This album and the Ultimate Prophecy, not to mention other works, are a must have, for any music collection. KSHE, a radio station in St Louis, was responsible in part for the great popularity of JD's work in that area (and beyond). An amazing story in itself. One of my favorite albums. Highly recommended.


title: Good for nostalgia, awful recording quality

text:
I saw this same show live at The Bottom Line within a month of this performance, and it rocked my world.  Truly a landmark stage show and album.  Peak Meat.

This album brings me back, and for that, it was worth buying....BUT, the quality of the recording is terrible.  It was clearly taken off the radio broadcast, and not the mix at the venue.  Distorted, static and missing moments in some songs.

Still, if you can put up with all that, and the fact that it's only a small portion (5 songs) of the full material from "Bat Out of Hell," it's a good trip down memory lane.

Also, the only opportunity to hear the actual voice of Karla DeVito, as she was lip syncing Ellen Foley in the famous music videos.


title: Ok

text: Packaging was not protective at all! The box was dented and one corner was ripped on the front. The sides of the box were also bent in. I'm sure everything inside was fine, but I returned the item because of this

title: Look up the word "lampoon" in your dictionary, folks...

text: I think some reviewers have missed the point of this CD.  He's RIDICULING these songs, not rearranging them "in a way that would be easier to listen to", as one clueless reviewer wrote.  Go back and read Ryan Lawler's review - I'd say it's the most articulate, accurate summation of the CD.<br />I think the CD is reasonably funny, even for those of us who've never heard (nor ever WANTED to hear) the original versions of these songs.  I actually sought out the clips of some of the original versions, and it seems to me that Mr. Cheese's renditions are far more inventive, imaginative and musical.  This CD reminds me a little of the late, great Steve Allen, who, in one of his famous comedy routines, used to simply stand on stage and recite lyrics from pop/rock songs of the day.  He employed irony to point out the fact that most pop/rock songs are merely pointless banalities.  Take away the NOISE (sorry, I suppose some like to call it "music"), and all you're left with nowadays are lyrics which are insignificant, tasteless and vulgar.

title: release as mp3!

title: Heavy Metal Titan....Rocks Out!!!!

text: Kane Roberts debut albums rocks hard and is alot edgier than the later pop metal album. Great heavy metal album. Alice Cooper and Kip Winger appear.


title: Breathtaking...

text:
This album shows just how bad the music industry has gotten - I hadn't heard of this album before I bought it, and this alone blows away anything that's popular(KoRn comes to mind).
Before I heard this, my favorite  song was "Another Rainy Night." Now, though, it's "I am  I." Just about every song on here is a work of art.
It's strange to  hear "Out of Mind" come from the same band that made "Lady  Jane." Both are totally different, and shows that Queensryche is as  musically diverse as anybody.
I recommend this to anybody who likes  music at all.

so... thnx God exist AMAZON.COM

we love this kind of treasures here... just in amazon.com


title: Gift

text: This item was purchased as a gift for someone who likes the Beatles so other than shipping condition and timeliness, which were both excellent, I do not know. What i do know convinces me to buy from this company again.


title: Really Neat

text: I have had this CD before but alas a friend absconded with it. I was so delighted to see it on here and purchased it right away. I really love the way they blended the howls of the wolf with Jazz. it sounds so rich really love it...


title: Excellent Album!

text: Very relaxing music. Easy to visualize a natural landscape throughout the different pieces. Masterfully done!


title: Jazz Guitar and Jazz Adventure

text:
The album, Days, makes it clear that jazz guitarist Gabriel Vicéns is someone to pay attention to.

 The Puerto Rico native serves up progressive Latin jazz characterized by fluid improvisation, exciting melodic explorations and a sense of musical adventure.

Tracks on Days include “El Teatro,” which features lively syncopation and a smooth, rising-falling melody on which Vicéns and other soloists take turns exploring the different altitudes.

<br />The song “Days” features greater conversational interplay among Vicéns  and his bandmates that culminates in joyful cacophony.

The tracks “Morph” and “Prelude to Amintiri” put Vicéns more at the center of the musical action where he shows great range as a single-line soloist and with inventive chordal play.

"Breaking through Shadows” was my personal favorite – a high energy showcase for Vicéns and the other soloists with a super-catchy bridge.

Days is an ambitious album featuring many musical ideas and an outstanding supporting cast.  I look forward to his next project.


title: A favorite.

text: This favorite collection of preludes are among my classical favorites.  Brilliant fast progressions with haunting and powerful melodies.  Scriabins symphonies were a bust, but the short pieces for piano are lasting.  I wish could hear Valentina Lisitsa play these.


title: DISHONEST. Not complete albums..

text: Dishonest. Does not have all the songs from the original albums.  In order to have it fit some songs are omitted without stating so. Ex. I'll Wind....


title: BEWARE!!!

text: First off, the artist and music is excellent. However, the CD is manufactured on demand. It is simple a disc that Amazon manufactured. It even has a chessy replica of the cover.

This one is great with an author I personally love. Great too because it's on CD. However, it is long (with great stories in it though) and needed to be quicker to the point for me. Loved it enough to keep it too.

title: How did Alan Parsons make basic mistakes?

text:
I have an extensive 5.1 surround music collection. Alan Parsons made a basic mistake in this mix. The voice is not mixed dominantly into the center channel. That is a basic mistake and I can't see how someone like him could make it. He did.

A properly balanced surround system (and by that I do not mean a soundbar) is going to have the voice frequencies available in the center channel. Great 5.1 mixes like those by Steve Wilson doing remixes of Yes, King Crimson and Jethro Tull has the lead vocal in the center channel. Parsons missed this and they are in the left right speakers.

This problem detracts from the mix. The channel separation and detail that makes 5.1 mixes so good is then diminished. While the orchestration and other parts come out well and better than I have ever heard the rest becomes a problem. I hope this review helps you.


title: I love this album

text: I love this album.  Yes I played bass on it.  I still love it and listen to it.  It is a time and a place.  There are songs that make me cry, laugh, and cringe.  Rock on.

text: Happy


title: A treasure of an album

text: This splendid album by the Dowden Sisters features authentic folk songs from a variety of places. Harmonies are clear and clean. The voices are pure, skilled, and sweet, and instrumentals are similarly well-done but somehow unassuming. It's as though you have some neighbors who sing and play beautifully, and they stop by your house now and then to sing and play for you. Between songs, they might tell you a story about a grandparent in the neighborhood whose sister ran off with a guy and got married. That's what this album does. It invites you into a world that you very much want to get to know.


title: This was the best video of Taylor Swift!

text: This included both a DVD and a CD.  The DVD was fantastic and told a lot about how hard Taylor Swift works for her fans!!  The song Beautiful Eyes is my favorite song by her!!!  Every Taylor Swift fan should see this DVD.


title: Real Authentic Old Mennonite Hymn Singing Live from the Kitchen

text:
You will notice a cassette offering the same material as is found on this CD.  The cassette is under the title of Gesangbuch Treasures.  Not knowing this a quick email to Harmonies Workshop, the organization that produced the CD, was answered within a couple of hours after business hours with a personal response.  That rates excellent in my book.

You can write this off as authentic, a chance to go to a place seldom explored where real people share a piece of their lives.  that is not to say this is a record void of talent or having poor recording quality but rather a talented group in their kitchen singing songs of their faith just as you would experience if welcomed in to their world.  The vocal qualities are good and the acoustics as good as any.

These are Old Order Mennonites singing hymns from an 1804 hymnal in the same style as would be sung in Church.  There's certainly no flash in these recordings but purely authentic and real.  While not for everyday listening, this CD is for the experience and the opportunity to connect with the lives of the performers.

If you are merely curious or would like a sample in your music library, you cannot do better.  I even like the idea of supporting the organization responsible for preserving this music.  The price is certainly right.


title: The Unknown Composer that should be a household name

text:
Born in Sevilla, Spain in 1750, Manuel Blasco de Nebra would live a short life of just 34 years, just barely.  His father, the organist at the Seville Cathedral faced a father's worst: burying a son.

One might be surprised that although those 34 short years produced 170 works but time was not shining favor on those works with a mere 6 Pastorales and 25 or 26 Sonatas, all for keyboard, survived. If only the time machine had been invented!

Blasco de Nebra is an incredible composer and I believe Pedro Piquero channeled Blasco de Nebra in his performance here.  What I enjoy most about the works is the melody.  They are easy on the ears.  This is melodic music.  It glistens and sparkles as it weaves it way through each movement.  I found myself taking a deeper breath as melodic cascades were introduced.

Quite frankly most piano works are rather boring or even more so, challenging or strangely not very melodic.  Sure, all the famous piano works you can likely find on a compilation disc are those that I find melodic, glistening and sparkling yet I feel it might be an insult to term such a talent as Blasco de Nebra on the same level of Beethoven, Debussy or Mendelssohn.

With that said, I think you will be thrilled to discover Blanco de Nebra's small output of works neatly fitted onto 3 CDs.  I suspect it is a CD you would engage friends in listening to.  Your discovery will meet favorable comments for sure.  There are very few composers I feel this way about.  Most, even the greats have moments of genius yet this composer seems to be spot on in each work.

The recording quality is exceptional with the right acoustics.  The interpretation seems more felt than performed.

There are only two sad things:  one is all those people that have managed to keep Blasco de Nebra an unknown by never discovering his music and second is the fact we have but a tiny fraction of his works that survived to this day.


title: Two wonderful songs sung by Donghae:) and EunHyuk

text: I like the voices of Donghae and EunHyuk. This is another excellent album by them. It contains 2 songs that they sing and the same songs as instrumental only. This album does contain a DVD but I can't play it because it is for region 2. This CD also had a photo card included.

title: A recording of exceptional power and beauty

text:
Zikr is a spiritual practice utilized by Sufis to remember their state of unity with the divine through the repetitive chanting of sacred phrases. The leader of the zikr on this recording, Neil Douglas-Klotz, is probably best known for his books translating the Lord's Prayer, Beatitudes and other words of Jesus from the Aramaic, as well as setting these to music and creating dances to go along with them. He is also a Sufi teacher in the lineage of Hazrat Inayat Khan and Murshid Samuel L. Lewis (aka "Sufi Sam"). In the liner notes, he states that the particular sequence of phrases used in this zikr came to him during a retreat in 1981, and was approved by his teachers, but he did not share it for more than ten years, as he felt his spiritual preparation was insufficient at the time.

This recording consists of six tracks. The first five tracks are repetitions of sacred phrases such as "Bismillah ir Rahman ir Rahim" and "La illaha illa 'llahu." These are chanted by group of men and women, and accompanied by musical instruments including Middle Eastern drums (doumbek and tar), guitar and trumpet. During parts of some tracks, variety is added by having the female and male vocals alternate, or having the instruments drop out except for the percussion. The last track consists of a blessing of peace for all prophets, messengers and beloveds, and the "illah 'llahu Canon" an exceptionally beautiful piece in which that phrase is sung in a round robin manner, creating a very elevating effect. All of the tracks are about ten minutes long, allowing the listener to enter a contemplative state. The use of musical instruments might be frowned upon by more orthodoxly Islamic Sufi sects, but I find that it enhances the spirituality of the phrases rather than distracts from them.

The liner notes to the CD relate the origins of this zikr, and describe the qualities or states that each of the phrases can awaken. I am not a Sufi nor particularly religious, but a few years ago, after a long practice session of qigong exercises, I listened to this CD while resting in savasana, and found myself having a deeply transformative experience, which is still unfolding today. So this recording has special significance for me. I still listen to it often, especially while going to sleep at night.


title: Favorite dulcimer CD

text: This is my favorite dulcimer CD to listen to as great music, not just dulcimer music.  Seifert varies his play with more emotion than you hear in some other performers. His Mode for Dulcimer is truly a standout and worth the (reasonable) price of the CD alone, and shows the range of the instrument. The other songs are Old Timey folk songs played like no other.


title: This is NOT Buble

text: This guys sound nothing like the melodious voice of Michael Buble


title: Exquisite.  Am Trying to Find it on CD or MP3.

text: I bought this cassette years ago.  Moravec's interpretation is delightful and as I mentioned I've been trying to find it on CD or mp3 to add to my iTunes library.  Between the playfulness of the Schumann (with all of its emotions) and the stormy Brahms ... it's just wonderful to listen to anytime, but especially in those moments when you're meditating or want to enjoy the stillness of an afternoon.  Heartily recommend.

title: One more for the collection

text: Classic John Prine


title: The finest musically gifted local band in Southeast Michigan from 1967-1968

text: Without a doubt, the most musically sophisticated group in the Detroit area from 1967 to 1968. Their lead guitar a born perfect pitch, who could recreate anything at the time, including Jimi Hendrix, Erik Clapton and Jim McCarty. Their second guitar a master guitar player who taught at the Alhambra studios, and whose father played guitar and composed for the Johnny Carson show. Their lead singer a veteran of Detroit's west side group "The Gang", who stood toe to toe with Ted Nugents' Amboy Dukes. Upon hearing them for the first time at the famed Grande Ballroom, the managers Tom Wright and Russ Gibb thought that The Cream had arrived two weeks early. The group fielded recording offers from Capitol Records and Track Records, but sadly, broke up before the ink was dry.

text: The cd arrived within 2 weeks, which was faster than the estimated arrival date of almost a month. I was extremely pleased with this purchase and how quickly it showed up. I love this music and buying a cd in order to support a band that I love is always worth it. The best part about this purchase was that the cd booklet was signed by the band. Thank you so much!

text: Bought the drone in January.  I was pleased with it until the drone would not wifi.  I did the firmware upgrade and it is still not working.  I am very disappointed with Hubsan customer service.  They are slow to respond if they respond at all.  Their response is always send a video.  I was given the wrong firmware update version.  I am not happy with Hubsan, their customer service and my drone is not working.

title: Will not replace or send a mp3 for the Volume 1 disk that was Blank on Binaural Theta Meditation

text: I have tried to get Volume 1 which was totally blank replaced for 3 years.  Every now and then I see it and it just makes me mad.  I bought his set of 4 and wasn't initially interested in Volume one, more so for the "Secrets Of Muscle Testing."  I mean now he could just send me the Mp4 on volume one but the CD was totally blank which of course surprised me but I knew after I contacted him and or One Touch Music that one of them would make it right.  I've only heard once from someone associated with Brent Phillips who said I'd have to (locate) take it up with the distributor (cannot find One Touch Music listed anywhere).  So it could be great.  I just paid for something that I didn't catch was missing and they should make it right.  So before buying anything from Brent Phillips I'd get his home address, telephone number, a promise if what you bought is blank that you'd get a refund no matter how many years later it is.  Really just the mp4 on this disk would be fine.

title: Deeply thought-provoking, excellent book.

text:
I agree with other reviewers in hoping that this book will become widely available in the USA; it's very surpriseing that it isn't already and also disappointing to see how few libraries have it.

This is a challenging and most worthwhile book. It took two readings to sort out the details of the timeline and to get a full grasp of the many participants; I think that was because the emotional impact was too powerful the first time through to allow adequate processing of the mass of information Timothy had to dig through in order to understand for himself.

There are many stories here, the central one being the immensely close and loving relationship between the author and his identical twin, Nicholas, the brutal loss of Nicholas at the age of fourteen and serious wounding of the author (and others) and the author's struggles to grasp and accept the death of his brother over the course of more than two decades. The minute descriptions of family life and the assassination of Lord Mountbatten are interesting enough in themselves, but they serve primarily to set the background for the story of the twins and Timothy's later life as a "lone twin".

The writing is startling in its emotional candor, which is necessary for the author to achieve his stated goal of being helpful to others who have suffered trauma and grief. Even more remarkable is the matter-of-factness with which the author describes events, his relationship with Nicholas and other family members and his emotional states as he reacts to Nicholas's death. The writing is never cloying. When Timothy writes that he cried "buckets of tears", it seems almost an understatement rather than excess. And the reader comes to understand that this tragedy occurred at what was probably the most vulnerable point in the lives of Nicholas and Timothy, for they were just on the doorstep of adolescence, a time when they were most closely bonded and a time when their paths might have begun to diverge.

Many issues and questions arise from this book aside from those dealt with directly in the text. What is it like to be an identical twin? What is it like for the surviving twin when his sibling dies? How wise is it to raise identical twins in an environment that emphasizes their "twinhood" and, presumably, increases further their emotional bonding? Some exploration on the web helped to educate this non-twin about some of this (see http://www.lonetwinnetwork.org.uk or http://www.twinlesstwins.org).

The internet was also helpful in resolving this reader's most pressing question after finishing the book. Throughout the final chapters, there seemed to be a crescendo of hope in Timothy that he would be able to reach some releasing point that would bring about a great relief from the trauma of his loss. The closer he got to it, the more I doubted his hopes could be answered. And when at last he pronounced himself "free", I wondered how long it could last and just what he had been freed from when he felt himself able to "say goodbye to Nick."

In a 2008 interview of Timothy's mother, Countess Mountbatten (Lady Brabourne in the book), she recounts how, after the birth of his first child, Timothy told her that he saw "part of Nicholas" in the child's eyes, reasoning that, since he and Nicholas were identical twins, the half of the child that had come from him was also of Nick. Timothy wrote a published article in 2012 in support of Queen Elizabeth's trip to Ireland and her acts of reconciliation there. In it he described having recently seen on television a piece about the Mountbatten assassination. Included was a scene of Nicholas and Timothy playing on the beach with their grandfather. The result of seeing this was renewed tears for Timothy and the confession that he continued to "miss Nicky terribly" and expected he always would. This clarified for me what Timothy had achieved in the story this book tells, the difficult acceptance that his brother truly was dead and the equal acceptance of both his continuing grief and love for him. The book is but one of several memorials to the memory of Nicholas, all of them touching and all of them helpful to others.

Note: This review was intended to be of the book rather than the audio CD (although I have since purchased that as well).


title: Bill Charlap Live in London

text:
This is a rather unique live performance that catches Bill Charlap, at
times, in what seems to be an improvisational mode.  If you're a Charlap
fan, this is very hard to resist.  If you're not, this is exemplar of
Bill at the piano, and all too rare.  Bill hides behind the name New
York Jazz Trio when he performs for Venus, Japan and on this one it is
the European Jazz Piano Trio.  I've long enjoyed Charlap's piano, and
the playlist on this was too much to resist.  Hate to see an item sitting
without a playlist, as it is difficult enough to know anything about
any number of albums.  This disc was put together from 3 live performances
at the Pizza Club Express Jazz Club, London 8-10 March, 2001.  Bill was
in his 30's.  Back in the golden age of bebop that would have sounded
old.  It strikes me that these days, to be recorded in your thirties or
even 40's is considered 'young'.  My goodness we'd have missed out an
awful lot of great performers be it Miles, Lee Morgan and a few dozen
others had some age criterion been applied.  Coltrane was considered
a 'late bloomer' not really hitting his full stride until he was around
30-31, yet he had recorded plenty in his 20's. McCoy Tyner began playing
with John when he was 18 and was in what I'd call his prime when I saw
him play at age 28-29. Sonny Rollins recorded "Saxophone Colossus" when
he was 26, and were it not for being arrested for armed robbery in 1950,
and again in 1952 for heroin possession, he might have recorded some
of his first masterful works sooner. As it was he had plenty of credits
as a sideman before he was 24.  Well, that's more than I'd  intended to
say and a bit off course.  Just some observations from an 'old' jazz fan.
The 5 stars say what I think of the album at hand.  I've never tired of
listening to it. Sometimes, I think Bill Charlap will be an 'old' man
(about 46 at this writing) before enough people tune in, or are unable
for the albums becoming scarce.  His wife, pianist Renee Rosnes may be
as well known. Renee's no slouch either having studied under Joe Henderson.
She does a take of Joe's "Beatrice" on her "Black Narcissus" album that is,
as is the whole album, full of all the charm and wonder that comes with a
fine jazz pianist. I'm not at all certain that album is even in stock at
Amazon these days.

1)  Everything I Love  (Cole Porter)
2)  Leibermans  (Jack Reilly)
3)  The Peacocks  (Jimmy Rowles)
4)  Artfully  (Jack Reilly)
5)  A Ballad & Five Brothers  (Gerry Mulligan)
6)  Sophie  (Bill Charlap)
6)  Vivi's Waltz  (Bill Charlap)
7)  Tricotism  (Oscar Pettiford)
8)  I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm  (Irvin Berlin)
9)  The Peacocks (Epilogue)  (Jimmy Rowles)

Truly a pleasure to hear Bill do some compositions of his own, as he
has dedicated much of his own discography to the great song writers from
Rodgers to Ellington to Porter, Berlin, Bernstein, Gershwin and Van
Huesen among others.  All of Bill's albums are first rate from Love You
Madly, Always, Thou Swell, Stairway to the Stars, Blues in the Night,
The Things We Did Last Summer, Begin the Beguine, to S'Wonderful, not
to mention several others.  Somewhere I've got a  review of Harold Mabern
Jr. and Bill is a study in contrast to the hard bop of Mabern.  Surely,
one of the strong suits of jazz, or what keeps it alive and makes it so
full of vitality is the variety.  With any luck, somebody will re-issue
all of Bill's albums yet, that may not be till he's 'old' whatever age
that is these days.


title: A real find!

text: This live performance of Barshai conducting an elite group of German high school music students is, in my opinion, among the best accounts of this symphony.  It is very powerful in a direct, unmannered way, with a swift, flowing approach to the adagietto akin to that of the classic Bruno Walter-NYPO recording.  Moreover, the quality of orchestral playing is on a par with leading professional ensembles, and the sound quality is quite good, in particular, conveying percussive details either missed or slighted in most other recordings I have heard, though this may be as much Barshai's doing as that of the recording team.<br />To order, go to the laurel records site.  Not cheap, but well worth it.


title: Not a good quality sound.

title: Wow!

text: This album is a pure hoot!  It is all in Russian, but don't let that stop you if you don't understand the lingo.  This is music for a Tarrentino movie that hasn't been made yet.  Even song is a winner, with outstandingly great hooks, beats, and snorts.  Definately too cool...
