title: Boundless and beautiful!

text:
When this album arrived at our PO Box, we were heading from NC to PA for a summer trip. We started playing it and drove on, replaying it over and over. During our 2 week trip, we played it through, 38 times! We really counted. Each time, we'd hear something new, and the last song, in Finnish, flowed right into the first! The most perfect album we've ever heard.

It is still our favorite single album.


title: Two Stars

text: not what I thought it would be.


title: Just as Described

text: No poster, which it doesn't mention in the description so I'm not too upset about it. Other than that, it came with everything else it said. I got Keeho for my photocard!


title: When you think that this was made around "The Division ...

text: When you think that this was made around "The Division Bell" it is way too slow and there is no flow to it. I would compare this to the "Final Cut" coming out after "The Wall".

CD is damaged, must send it back for a replacement.  Can I return it for a replacement?

title: Hank Williams one of the greatest!

text: Enjoy his music at home and in the car.  It is a shame he lived such a short life, he could have given us so many more songs.  He was very talented.


title: Uplifting, Moving Memorable for Christmas

text: Une Cantate de Noel is one of my favorite Christmas music selections. The beginning is stark --the world without hope--but then the boy's choir begins to sing and it takes off!<br />If you've never heard it, why not??? It'a amazing!


title: An Essential Complement to Rhino's 1992 Boxed Set

text:
Update: February 6, 2014:  Oddly, there are at least two pages for this disc on Amazon.

The other offers less expensive options but is somewhat hard to find.  Here is a link: [[ASIN:B00005Y1NV The Best Of The Beat Generation]] As of today, a new copy is available for $29.95,and used copies start at just $8.95.  Good luck!

Below is my original review, from the other page for this excellent CD.

Notwithstanding the title, which suggests that this disc is an excerpt, it should really be considered as a fourth disc addition to Rhino's outstanding 1992 collection: Beat Generation. This disc was released ten years after and, as compilation producer James Austin writes in the accompanying booklet, "When producing Rhino's Beat Generation boxed set back in 1992, I wanted to show all aspects of the Beat movement. For this collection, I have included many of the recordings from that set, but I have also added new ones that weren't available then or had slipped under my Beat radar."

In point of fact, of the twenty cuts contained on this disc, only seven appeared in the original boxed set. The new material includes classic pieces by beat luminaries such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Lord Buckley, Ken Nordine and Bob Dorough (the latter, performing Lawrence Ferlinghetti's famous poem, "Dog"). Also, the version of "Twisted" included here is Annie Ross's original, solo version, vs. the better-known version subsequently recorded by her vocal group, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, which appeared in the original box set. Both versions are indispensable examples of vocalese composition and execution. It's nice - not redundant - to have the original, harder-to-find version here.

This disc includes a 20-page booklet containing two essays, detailed discographical info and photos of many of the artists. Don't pay a fortune for it, but it is easily worth $15 or $20 as a complement to the boxed set.

Enjoy!

My wife loves dancing and she loves this piece. We

title: One of the best ever!

text: I worked for Lexicon Music back in the mid seventies when this record album was first released.  I own several copies and I still listen to it every Christmas.  It is amazing and one of the best Christmas albums ever made.

text: Just what what I expected from Alfred Brendel. Perfection.


title: Lilacs out of the dead land

text: Hadn't heard this in decades.  It brings back fond memories.


title: A Stinker In The Rush Catalogue.

text: Unless this is where you came in as a Rush fan and you like mostly slow, melodic pop music, I might understand why you find this release good; for me however it is an absolute stinker. If you like Rush in their prime I do not understand how one can give this anymore than two maybe three stars. The only song I like on here is Open Secrets. I cannot stand The Mission, so boring; the last two songs are a joke, downright laughable.


title: Dorati scores.

text: This is an excellent set on this medium. The singing is exquisite and the conducting sound. The Brighton Chorus is very good and the audio bright. The pacing is spot on. I can highly recommend this.


title: 1993 or 1989?

text:
I got this a few weeks ago and finally got around to playing it.  What is it?

When I imported it into the computer, my only CD player, the CD database says it's Bristol, 13 November 1993 and none of the track listings match this Amazon product, or even what's printed on the CD case.

Listening to it, as well, none of the songs match the listing on the CD case.  There's clearly songs from "It is the Business of the Future to be Dangerous" that are newer than 1989, when this CD is supposed to be from.

Other than the puzzling nature, it's pretty good stuff, just what can be expected from Hawkwind.  The recording quality isn't great, but it's not nearly as bad as other live CDs.


title: Fish needs Marillion

text: Used to be Marillion needed Fish.  Not anymore.  Fish needs Marillion in a bad way.  Musicianship is so lacking on this album of scattered thoughts and sounds.  Fish can still write, but he doesn't have a good band and it sadly it shows.  Save your money and buy F.E.A.R.


title: Excellent playing, excellent recording, excellent records.

text:
The recording is generally of excellent quality; the sound accuracy and range is excellent. You can hear the quality and harmonics of each instrument.  To me, it was like sitting across from the actual players.The playing is precise, spirited, emotional, and interesting.

My favorite string instrument is the viola, which happened to be the instrument Mozart played, and this recording makes the unique features of each instrument stand out, particularly, in my view, the viola.

Vinyl records seem to have a hiss in the background.  The high-quality records, like this one, have a very quiet hiss that's not noticeable in contrast to the actual music.  I record the records with a high-quality turntable onto 32-bit, 44100 hz lossless flac files, and use the very excellent open source audacity recording program to filter out the very small amount of background hiss.  What I get is studio-quality music, with the harmonic accuracy and range of vinyl without any background noise at all.


title: A priceless treasure.  There are not enough stars on all of Amazon to properly rate it...

text: I inherited a copy of this album from my grandfather.  I still have it and it is pristine condition.  I first heard Toccata and Fugue in D Minor when I was three or four years old and it scared the daylights out of me.  As years passed, this album has had a profound influence on me.  My love of music started here.  My ability to concentrate and focus when I was studying in college started here.  When I now need to focus on a major project, either business or personal, I listen to THIS album.  When I am stressed, worried, anxious, and need to relax, I listen to THIS album.  I DO NOT listen to this album when I need to SLEEP.  I have a huge amount of Bach in my classical music collection.  This album sets the standard.  Prof. Michael Schneider was an incredible performance artist.  His performance of these works on the Luneburg organ...an organ that Bach himself played and favored above all others in Europe...is, in my humble opinion, the greatest Bach performance ever recorded.


title: A REALLY COOL VOCALIST, GREAT PHRASING!

text: NICE SOLO EFFORT FROM MELISSA MATHES, WHO FRONTS FOR CRACKER BOOTS.  REALLY GOOD STUFF FROM AN EMERGING ARTIST.


title: Love the Pops!

text: I have this loaded on my program at work, good background music and nostalgic: kids don't learn the patriotic songs anymore!  Thanks for the reissue

text: sunny ledfurd is the most underrated musician in the industry today. His music covers multiple genres including country and rap. Although I am not a rap fan, his hillbilly rap is basically what Kid Rock wants to be.


title: Amazing band, great storytellers

text:
A Silent Film, a band from Oxford, England, has transplanted to the US (specifically Arizona) to record their second album, Sand & Snow. The result is a sweeping, majestic album full of big sounds and thoughtful lyrics that will pull you in, and make you wonder why this isn't the biggest band in the world.
The first Single, "Danny, Dakota & the Wishing Well" is a wonderfully told story of love lost and regained. "Reaching the Potential" starts slowly, allowing you to take a deep breath before it bursts into a soaring, pounding exclamation of the power of faith in oneself. In "Anastasia" the band implores the woman for whom the song was named to remember herself, and who she wants to be, rather than conform to a false society standard.
The rest of the album is full of songs of love, friendship, relationships lost, longing, and so much more. Musically, the four members of the band are incredibly talented musicians individually, but when they are together, they fit so well, and complement each other so perfectly, it brings the sound to another whole level. Think U2 in it's heyday. Comparisons have also been made to Keene, Coldplay and Muse. Throw in a little INXS, Peter Gabriel and Simple Minds and you start to get the idea.
I would recommend everyone buy this album, then go see them live when they come anywhere near you. Soon enough, they will be playing arenas and you will regret having missed out on seeing them in an intimate venue


title: A great new Flavor in C&W music

text: Always looking for a new twist when I shop for music for my brother. Tejas Brothers fills the bill. Gives him  something new to play with as he makes his own music.


This is a wonderful recording of Bluebeard's Castle. For these ears, perhaps the best. But what makes it absolutely a most is the fact that IT IS IN ENGLISH and if there ever was an opera that needs to be understood is Bluebeard's Castle. If you love this opera and you're English speaking, buy it. You will be happy you did.

title: Excellent purchase.

text: I am a middle eastern percussionist, I drum for belly dancers. I play 3 different drum. Doumbeck, Riq, Tar.<br />I was watching another Belly Dance instructional DVD that had another drummer doing basic rhythms and embellishments for the dancers solo. I was looking for something  along those lines. In the main part of that DVD, the music sounded so very familiar, the way the drums were being played. As it turns out it was music from this CD, and the lead percussionist is Amir Naoum whose has an instructional DVD for playing the doumbeck. I have been using that DVD to warm up with-practice with for 12 yrs. The fancy finger work and embellishments he talked about on his DVD are being played in this music. That’s the reason I bought this, to listen to the fancy stuff and learn to play it my self. I was at a belly dance showcase performance this past week end and one of the performance troupes used the Drum Solo from this CD. I recognized it immediately. Yes, dancer do use this music for performances. I can’t find a copyright date on this, but Amir had a head full of hair. It’s a good CD for dancers to use for practice and performance and for drummers to listen and learn from. When it arrived there was a little note of thanks the woman that produced this recording, Stella Grey.  The music doesn’t have big overblown arrangements, there’s only five musicians involved. The percussion is clear and easy to pick out. If you are a dancer you can’t go wrong with this. If you are a drummer, it’s inspiring to hear clearly the rhythms played with the other instrument and all the embellishments in the playing.

text: The bulk of this 2cd set is culled from a superb sounding FM radio broadcast from St.Louis. I believe the final 2 tracks on disc 2 are from an decent audience recording from LA on the same 1993 summer tour. If you are a Dan fan,over all this worth the $14 as this is the current price of this set at the date of this review.

title: An Outstanding Collection of Country Classics

text: This has to be one of my all-time favorite multi-artist collections from the Time-Life vaults. 30 songs on 2 CDs covering the '40s through the '80s, this would make a great addition for any Country Music fan. Not just a rehashing of the songs found on dozens of other collections, you'll find a great many songs and artists that don't usually appear - from Jimmie Wakely's One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart) to Crystal Gayle's You Never Miss a Real Good Thing (Till He Says Goodbye), every one of these songs is a keeper. As an introduction to Classic Country or an addition to your Country Music library, any collection featuring The Louvin Brothers, Stoney Edwards and Susan Raye is a winner in my book.


title: A Nice Collection of Well-Worn Classics

text: As with all Time-Life collections, this one features all-original hit recordings, and it was certainly worth the penny I paid for it. With a few exceptions, however, these are songs found on dozens of other collections. You probably won't be skipping any of these songs, but you most likely won't be hitting the replay button, either. For someone wanting an introduction to a broad representation of Country styles from the 70s and 80s, this will fit the bill. If, like me, you already have an extensive Country library, you probably already have most of these songs. It's not that I dislike this collection, it just didn't bowl me over.


Wonderful reminder of my trip to Costa Rica.  Beautiful blending of instruments and nature sounds.  Especially love the howler monkeys!

text: This CD is used by my bellydance teacher in class as we practise technique.

The second CD has some unusual tracks - interesting

text: My husband loves it! Audio a bit scratchy at times but fascinating first-hand accounts of events leading up to WWII. Twenty CD's so a lot to listen to.


title: Wait for the US release coming in July-Sept

text: My advice to prospective collectors: wait for the US/European release of this box. After the tremendous success of the "Karajan 60" box set after it was released in a European version, word of mouth has it that DG is preparing this set for release in Europe and USA with a new booklet with all recording information and also remasterings of many of these recordings. Contact the company and let them know you are interested; Sometimes they even respond to an email.<br />After writing the above I was informed by Universal that the European/USA version will be released in July in Europe and Sept in USA in a box with 82 CDs. Well worth the wait, I would imagine.


title: Another simply beautiful performance of grand music and vocals by a very talented, powerful artist!!

text: Eurielle has got the most wonderful voice, her music can move you, the background orchestra adds to this experience. When I discovered her music I was blessed. All her albums are very powerful and worth listening to over and over.

By Myself
Michael Hoppé
2021 / Chordially Yours Music
43 minutes
Review by Kathy Parsons
Michael Hoppé's By Myself is the twentieth album of his that I've reviewed, starting with his 1996 release, The Yearning. One of my all-time favorite artists, Michael has created an extraordinary body of work in his long and colorful career. Melodic and often tinged with melancholy, Michael's music is rarely composed for solo piano, making this a very special treat. Although the piano is a big part of most of his recordings, I think Hoppé's only other solo piano album is Romances For Solo Piano (2007). Most of the fifteen tracks on By Myself have synth string washes added, but since Michael added them himself, this still counts as a solo album. Quoting the liner notes of the CD (available in Korea), Michael explains:

"When the pandemic arrived in 2020 it prevented many forms of social gathering including playing with other musicians. In more than 30 albums I have made, almost all of them have been recorded with other performers, so this digital album titled 'By Myself' is just that, no fellow musicians, just me and the piano.... a solo piano album recorded at home, and resulting directly from the pandemic isolation."

By Myself begins with "Beneath the Mexican Stars," a piece created to celebrate the spirit and style of Mexican music. As he worked on this concept, Michael visualized a trio of Mexican guitarists playing "Beneath the Mexican Stars." Graceful and lyrical, a shorter version of the piece also closes the album. "Lullaby For the Moon" is composed with Hoppé's distinctive and heartfelt simplicity. You don't need a fistful of piano keys to get the point across when it's done as beautifully and honestly as this one is. "For What Its Worth" overflows with longing - deeply romantic and poignant, simple yet profound. "Why" is fascinating. In its brief two-minute span, it is constantly changing yet manages to maintain an emotional depth and richness. The mournful "Tears and Roses" goes right to the heart, expressing what so many people around the world have experienced in the past year and a half of the pandemic. "Across the Years" expresses nostalgia and loving memories of time gone by. "Heartstrings" is the perfect title for the piece composed and played in the deeply reflective and emotional style Michael is known for - and is so good at. I can't imagine anyone not being moved by this gorgeous piece. "Song For Neko" is a graceful, romantic waltz and the perfect soundtrack to a sweet daydream. "Quietly Comes the Night" is peaceful and dreamy - a lullaby for the end of a very good day. "Sunset Waltz" brings images of star-crossed lovers dancing on a beach as the sky becomes alive with colors and then fades to soft grays. "Safe To Port" isn't a new piece, but it's the first time I'm aware of that it's been a piano solo. Slow, peaceful and very melodic, I like this version best (although they are all beautiful!).

So, if you've been hoping for a solo piano album from Michael Hoppé like I was, here's your chance! By Myself is available to download or stream on Amazon, Apple Music/iTunes, Spotify and other sites. A very enthusiastic double thumbs-up!


title: Best Rendering Of Gary US Bonds

text: The album was in mint condition and the performance was one of the best ever by this talented artist.  A real find for my LP collection.

text:
A very exciting group of songs.  If you like big bands, then this is a must CD to own. The songs are original and are played beautifully by a group of great musicians who have pulled it all together.

Some of the tracks will truly awaken your senses...great solos and incredible big band precision.

I haven't heard anything as good as this in many years.

A technical gem...Patrick Williams is to congratulated on a wonderful achievement.


title: Brought my mom back.

text: My mother is, was and has been a teacher for as long as I can remember.  She would make sandwiches for the inner city kids because she knew long before " focus groups" that it is hard to learn with a hungry belly. She taught teachers to teach bilingual education, English as a second language, and first and second graders. She drove through Newark doing the riots, and raised us without my father for the most part. She had me take the Silva Method classes with her as a teenager, and to this day I try and use some of it.<br />  Last year, for the first time, my mom had severe health crises and my sister and I each left our homes and families for mot

text: My teenagers love listening to these stories again and again (in spite of them being very edifying;-)). Very well done - Truly inspiring!


title: A Wonderful Album

text: I discovered this album in 1992 by chance in Kansas City for $2.99 and enjoyed it immensely.  Then I moved around the world and lost my copy.  When I tried to find it again, it came up on a used site for $110.00.  I searched and found a better price and was delighted to once again hear the lovely Ute Lemper.


title: A gentle easy entry into meditation

text: I find the CALM cd to be essential for my meditation practice.  For the beginner or the intermediate , Angela's calm, soothing voice quiets the busy mind and gently leads one deeper into a meditative state. All of us are seeking more ways to be still and quiet within the frantic pace of the world.  By myself I find this almost impossible - but - with this cd I feel connected to a loving teacher and can more easily embrace meditation and reap the immense benefits it brings me.  Angela has a basic body scan/meditation introduction and also reaches deeper to more specific concerns of Forgiveness, Self-Love and Equanimity- Letting Go. Again I have found this cd to be essential on my path of mindfulness, becoming a more loving, compassionate person.

text: Addictive clubbing music, or happy hip hop as they say in the bonus DVD. Picked it because I love JKS voice. NOT like his ballads, But these guys are having so much fun, the music is fun, and their videos are hilarious. I don't know Korean or Japnese, but am a total Team H fan now, much to the shock of my kids.Yeah I'm 50+ get over it. DVD is region 2 (not US) need all region player to enjoy.


title: Very challenging to listen to

text: Have really tried to enjoy, but with the exception of the one song that received considerable air play in the day...IMHO, the remainder just aren't good. How an artist can make such a great particular song, and then come up with these other "filler" songs is beyond me. And, no, I'm not in the industry or can even try to make a song let alone a career, but enjoy and will pay for great music. Make sure you listen before you buy on this one.

I hope no one buys this thinking this is Bronski Beat.  NOTE: I have never heard Noiseworks so I can't rate the CD, but I gave it one star because it is mislabeled.


title: LOVE HIS VOICE

text: This is a fantastic CD.  I originally bought it for one song I always loved, which is "You Don't Know What You've Got, having no idea what the rest of the songs would sound like.  I absolutely could not believe that I loved every single song on the CD.  Was 100% happy with my purchase.

title: Interesting disc, subpar performance proving Zeppelin were better as a studio band.....

text: espite their reputation as a premier live act, Led Zeppelin shined as a studio band; Page was a perfectionist genius as a producer, and it shows in the sound quality and performance on pretty much all of their studio work.  But live, they were hit-or-miss.  It often took Robert Plant three or four songs to warm up enough to hit the higher registers for which he was most famous, and Page's playing often ranged from immaculate to sloppy within a single show -- even a single song.  (The Jones/Bonham rhythm section, however, was always consistently tight and superior.)  Generally, Zeppelin did better live shows in its early days, up until 1973 tours supporting Houses of the Holy.  After that, Page's live playing, started to audibly deteriorate.  On this disc, Page's tone, technique, and taste are at low ebb, unfortunately, and performances are pretty much Jones's and Bonham's to save.  If you are going to buy live Zeppelin, stick to "How the West Was Won" or even "The Song Remains the Same", or bootlegs from their first and second album era.  Led Zeppelin at their worst are better than a lot of bands at their best, but it pales in comparison to the studio versions of the songs here, especially from "Physical Graffiti" and "Presence"...


title: Great book!

text: This was a great listen (audio book). Kept me riveted. So descriptive you felt you were there watching events unfold. Twists and turns were not anticipated, which made it even more interesting. Great plot; final ending was well thought out. If you want an unconventional murder mystery, this one is for you.


title: She liked it.

text: Purchased as a gift for my sister.  She liked it.


A spectacular symphony and not easily recognized as Sibelius. It has been playing on my automobile CD changer since I received it. Movements 3 and 4 leave me gasping for breath, the male chorus is enchanting and the baritone and mezzo soprano create an almost primitive ambiance. It is now my most prized CD.

text: You must include Eric Coates in your library of important British composers. I believe he belongs up there with Elgar, Williams, and the rest of the orchestral contemporaries.

I love theStormie Omartian CD - the songs are awesome and I love the arrangements.  I play it all the time.

I got the CD a couple weeks ago.

I would recommend this CD to anyone who wants to praise God


title: A rare gem.

text:
Yes, I am a fan of Mr. Samuel (Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel.) And even though I've had his debut album since it was released, I never got my hands on this single until now. Not only does Seal add non album tracks on singles, he constantly brings new life and new interpretations to his songs. They live. They evolve.
AND he is the only artist I've ever seen stop a show mid-song to order security away from the stage because they were ruining the performer/ fan symbiosis.
Really, Ace Theatre DTLA.


I am a huge Allman Brothers fan, so I am biased.  If you are looking for great live blues and southern rock, you can't go wrong here


title: Beautiful Voice

text: I went to a Kem concert and L Renee was there, performing by herself for a few minutes before joining him and the other singers on stage.  Her beautiful voice blew me away. She is an up and coming star. She's amazing.


This is the most creative amazing music piece I have ever listened to. Lin Manuel Miranda is a true genius. Ive been listening to the soundtrack non stop. The cast is amazing. BUY IT RIGHT NOW!!!

text: Fantastic dvd!  Amazing band and a terrific variety of singers. Highly recommend it.


I wasn't a huge fan of Country Music but Blake, Kiefer, Mr. Stapleton, and now Eric have me hooked. Hallelujah is the best thing I've heard in a long time.


The first one came with the paint all messed up. They sent a new one right away. The new one was much better but still had some issues. But it does the job!


title: Music for healing.

text: My husband has been undergoing chemo therapy for his cancer and I have played this and others from this series for him.  Their beautiful melodies all have helped him through some very difficult times.  He says it's some the most beautiful music he has heard (and he is not a "classical music" fan!).  I just ordered two more today.

title: How wonderful to hear vintage Bonnie again!

text:
I first saw Bonnie Koloc live at Charlotte's Web in Rockford, Illinois around 1976. That was when I first heard "Roll Me on the Water"and rushed out to buy the LP "You're Gonna Love Yourself in the Morning."  The next time she played at the Web, she was in her "country" phase, and I went wild when she sang "Good Time--How I'd Move You." At the time, I had a mad crush on a rather mournful dude who favored cowboy attire, Justin Ropers and all--and that song reflected exactly how I felt about this unreachable man. I borrowed "Close-up" from a friend so I could put the song "Good Time--How I'd Move You" on a cassette, which I have since lost, and I am sure by now my friend has gotten rid of her LPs. What a JOY to get this album!  Nothing beats the ambiance of LP recordings, and that song, "Good Time," has always had such special meaning for me.  I was thrilled to put the record on my turntable, (which I bought new in 1989 when I thought LPs were going to be gone forever), and hear Bonnie's sweet, young voice and simple arrangement of this happy song pouring out of my old but flawless Pioneer speakers. I do have a new CD on Bonnie's works, but she has jazzed up the songs and tweaked the melodies, ruining the purity and the nostalgia for me. Now, at last, I have both of her precious old records from over 40 years ago.  This aging Baby Boomer is in folk heaven.

Incidentally, in 2008, I published a novel called "The Five Notebooks," (names and details changed, of course), based on my infatuation from years gone by. It's still in print. How I wish I'd had this song when I was making up a "soundtrack" in my mad little head, pretending that my Great American Novel (not) would be made into a movie! Fantasy and nostalgia strike deep. My deepest gratitude, NewLifeOnline, for offering this album for sale on Amazon at such a great price, packing it so beautifully, sending it to me at lightning speed and even writing me a personal note in PURPLE ink.  This cowgirl from Idaho thanks you!


title: and for a good price too

text: This CD is so hard to find! But after many years of searching I was able to get it, and for a good price too! Def. worth a listen for any Linkin Park fan.

title: A+ for Tim McGraw

text: Anything by Tim McGraw is awesome. Really love this collection.


title: Amazing. Like a Gentle giant show in the 70's, it sounds like they surround you in your living room!

text:
Stunning.  Uhh - I'm SO stunned by this release I'm finding it hard to describe (which for me is *very* unusual! ;-) ).

If you are a Gentle Giant fan and have never heard The Power and the Glory in 5.1 you HAVE to buy this.  If you're a prog rock fan who's never heard it at all - just buy this one.  And if you like rock...or jazz..or good music...buy this whether you've heard other things in 5.1 or not.

I saw Gentle Giant 5 or 6 times in the 70's, and they used an unusual (for the time) sound system that had "speakers in the back" - mostly for Ray Shulman's violin, but also his acoustic guitar and I think Kerry Minnear's Mellotron at times.  It blew us away.  Nobody DID that!  Not Yes, or Genesis - or anybody.  And while I've listened to all kinds music through surround sound systems since, nothing has ever approached the definition of their tour system.

This is the first true 5.1 mix I've ever heard - and that's a good thing, because it sounds so much like their concert sound I just sat with my mouth open for 3 or 4 songs.  Gentle Giant has always sounded, to me, like the band is playing in your living room.  Every instrument was originally recorded clear, crisp, and defined - like you are *very* close to each instrument or amplifier.  The production, engineering and mix was consistent from album to album, which is very unusual for any band - and always the same, "close" sound.  There are a few "echoes" and reverb'd vocals that sound far away - but mostly like speakers in a back room were suddenly let loose that were run through an Echoplex tape delay.  They never seemed to resort to "studio tricks" that sounded nothing like a live concert, rehearsal - or living room show!

Steven Wilson has taken that "close" sound and made it sound like you're sitting in front of the band with some of the PA speakers to the side and some behind.  But still in a living room - not a huge concert hall.  Nothing is lost and *everything* is gained, because Wilson - who could have only heard them live as a child - has managed to nail a "Gentle Giant Concert" concert sound for those of us who *do* remember how they sounded.

Wow.  Like I said - buy this.  Even if you lovingly prefer your vinyl copies (I did...emphasis on "did"...) original CD's or one of the newer remixes - trust me - you WANT this.

title: Buell Kazee...One of the Best!

text:
Buell Kazee was a minister who played banjo and sang the ancient songs of his beloved Kentucky mountains during the 1920s. Considered one of the very best folk singers in U.S. history, he was a master of the high, "lonesome" singing style of the Appalachian balladeer. Kazee was born in the foothill town of Burton Fork, KY, and learned most of his songs from his family. He began picking banjo at age five and often played during local gatherings. He prepared for the clergy even as a teen and after high school began studying English, Greek, and Latin at Georgetown College, KY. It was there that he began to understand the significance of his family and friends' traditional songs. Kazee formally studied singing and music in order to transcribe the old songs and make them more contemporary. Following his graduation in 1925, he gave a "folk music" concert at the University of Kentucky. He wore a tie and tails while playing the banjo and piano, sang in his specially trained "formal" voice, and gave lectures about the history of the songs. The show was a great success, so he repeated it several times over the following years.

In 1927, he was asked to record the songs for Brunswick in New York, and he was signed to the label on the condition that he sing using his high, tight "mountain" voice and forego his formal vocal training. Over the next two years, he recorded over 50 songs backed by New York musicians. Many were religious, but others ranged from traditional to popular ballads, including "Lady Gay," "The Sporting Bachelors," and "The Orphan Girl." His biggest hit was a version of "On Top of Old Smoky" called "Little Mohee," which sold over 15,000 copies. In the early '30s, the recently married Kazee lost interest in pursuing a music career and stopped touring to become the minister of a church in Morehead, KY. For the next 22 years, he only sang publicly at revival meetings. Much later, he began using folk themes to compose formal music, such as a cantata-based on the old Sacred Harp piece "The White Pilgrim." During the folk revival of the early '60s, he made a comeback and was one of the first to appear at the Newport festivals. In addition to preaching and singing, Kazee also wrote three religious books and a book on banjo playing. He died in 1976.


title: Great CD!

text: First introduced to this excelent New age/Electronic genre CD while listening to Hearts of Space. Chould not find this cd in a number of music web sites.

title: Great remaster and has B-sides and live tracks

text: This is a great edition of the debut Men at Work CD. It adds bonus tracks that had only appeared on b-sides of their singles and a couple of live tracks


title: One of my favorite albums, beautiful voice, extremely diverse.

text: The first song My Life is a real attention grabber. As a fan of singer songwriter style songs this one snagged me. Its all acoustic guitar, the beautiful vocals and lyrics of Angelina. A very emotional song. The second is a bit more rock and pop, then we get to the single Babybayboo which has some excellent production and guitar contribution from guitar legend Marty Friedman. The entire album is a smooth ride and ranges in genres from folksy, to electronic, to pop, to rock and so on. It is the only full length album made by Angelina before she switched careers and left the music world.


title: Perfect! ^.^

text: It was very well packaged/protected and it came with two cute freebies! (The lomo pc is double sided ^.^)  And the poster is super cute + I pulled Kai! 🤭


title: Great

text: Love this album, great acoustic guitar and lyrics. Pretty raw sound and a unique voice gives great character to the tracks. Emery plays down at Pike Place Market in Seattle so if you see a guy playing guitar while hulahooping say hi!


title: So nice!

text: I think the gem of the album is Pachelbel's Cannon, but all of the tracks are very, very good.  This is an album worthy of your expensive HiFi.


title: Living history.

text: Beautiful and inspired.


title: Hello, Goodbye, Paco!

text: Ironically, I bought this just a month before De Lucia's untimely passing. As a percussionist and guitarist, I've long been a fan of his. With good reason. His playing over the past 40 years has been nothing less than stunning and innovative. This album is a good one for listeners or guitarists to test the waters of Paco De Lucia.


title: Avoid "Sensual Jazz"

text:
There's too much not to like about this 2-CD set to rate it any higher than a single star.

Several of the credits are wrong (i.e., "Julie Christy" instead of "June Christy", no mention of Lester Young on the Helen Humes track, live tracks aren't labeled "live", etc.). It's a card, not a booklet, so don't expect to find any info about where the tracks were sourced or their release dates. A few of these songs were recorded several times by the same artist, so the specific version included matters to some purchasers.

The lack of track info probably sounds overly critical to those for whom it's all about the sound. Unfortunately, the sound quality of a few of the transfers is horrible -- they literally sound as if they were captured from the streaming of a low-rate mp3. It's not a matter of the age of the recordings, it's flutter and phase issues that makes them all but unlistenable. The Stan Getz version of "My Funny Valentine" is probably the worst offender. In fairness, some others are quite good -- there's no discernable pattern to it.

I encourage everyone to always trust their own ears, so here's the track listing as printed on the insert (with no corrections):

01  I Only Have Eyes For You - Billie Holiday
02  I'm Yours - Ruth Etting
03  The Man I Love - Art Tatum

08  All The Things You Are - Dick Haymes
09  You Took Advantage Of Me - Bing Crosby & Bix Beiderbecke
10  I Got It Band And That Ain't Good - Ella Fitzgerald
11  Two Sleepy People - Hoagy Carmichael
12  You For Me - Count Basie & His Orchestra

Disc Two
01  Don't Ever Leave Me - Carmen McRae
02  I Stay In The Mood For You - Billy Eckstine
03  Isn't It Romantic - Chet Baker
04  All I Desire - Lena Horne
05  Just Squeeze Me - Duke Ellington with Ray Nance, Vocal
06  I Feel So Smoochie - Sarah Vaughan
07  Taking A Chance On Love - Stan Kenton Orchestra with Julie Christy, Vocal

KT Tunstall is on this so how could it not be a great CD to add to a music collection ??  :>

I love it so much. Thank you !

I received my order very quickly and so appreciate that.

Looking forward to doing future business with you :>


I'm not qualified to critque this type of material, but I will say that Marni's voice is ethereal and as perfect as can be.  Having just read her  fascinating autobiography (a must-read for any music fan), I wanted to hear her perform works other than the Hollywood ghosting she's known for.


title: Amazing mind-warping psychoacoustic stimuli

text: If you're unfamiliar with vintage electronic music, prepare to have your mind blown! This volume, along with its volume 2 counterpart, chronicles the best of the best of early Dutch music. However, I do not regard these recordings as so much music as I would mind-warping psychoacoustic stimuli. In one sense the recordings seem chaotic, and in another they sound masterfully crafted and eerily beautiful. The closest thing I can compare these recordings to in a way that many might understand would be The Beatles Revolution #9. I enjoy falling to sleep as I listen to these discs as the performances induce very intense dreams and nightmares, which I actually enjoy! For those who take the plunge, enjoy your trip!


title: Five Stars

text: My husband's hardly listening to this, I don't know why.


title: Awesome CD!!!

text: This CD is worth getting if only for "Hallelujah", that I have not been able to find on any other CD, or on iTunes.  I believe it was not released as a single and is almost impossible to find.  Loved the CD & arrived much faster than expected.


title: Check all books!

text: These came in perfect condition but one version did not have a photocard inside. I noticed other people missing photo cards but you have to check all books, one book came with two which made up for the one that had nothing inside.


title: Flourishes of Arpeggios and Flushes of Sound

text: The flourishes of arpeggios and flushes of sound in Jerry Yule's arrangements of sentimental songs deliver a sensory delight combining a full-sounding base with an effortless harplike sensitivity throughout the keyboard.

title: As a gift, my Dad loved it

text: My Dad used to collect all the Wave Aid CDs. Purchased this one used, and it arrived in decent playable condition. My Dad thoroughly enjoyed it and was very excited to receive it, as its difficult to find now! I even enjoy the relaxing change of pace music.  Highly recommend most CDs from this collection.


title: Eh..

text: All the reviews say how funny this is.  It was just ok.  Funny here and there, but not my type of humor I guess.  My dad liked it better, however.


title: If you like Mandopop, check this out!

text: I really enjoy several of the songs on this album, especially 手能生巧 (Shou Neng Sheng Qiao), the title track, 不死之身 (Bu Si Zhi Shen), and 原来 (Yuan Lai). One of the things I like about JJ Lin is his versatility; he writes songs in many different styles--incorporating slower piano ballads and upbeat hip hop rhythms and occasionally using classical Chinese instruments or samples of Peking opera. He also uses lyrics in both Mandarin and English (and the first track includes a little bit of Korean!)


title: Good album. Thanks!

text: There are several good songs on this album. I especially like "害怕" ("Afraid"),  "天使心" ("Angel"), and "距离" ("Distance"). I'm glad I was able to find some reasonably priced JJ Lin albums online, because his albums prior to 2011 aren't available for download on any U.S. sites. (I don't know if that's because he was with a different label then(?))


title: A Skip-less album

text: Such a talented Korean band. I don't think I'll ever get tired of their music, and if you're thinking of checking them out please do because you won't regret it.


title: So good!!!

text: Wonderful album. Would highly recommend.

title: Cher lost gems!

text: Amazing remastered!!


title: Cher rocks as hard as Pat or Joan!

text: Love this album! Cher did an amazing hard rock proformance.


title: Early stereo Flute is well sung and recorded, for discriminating collectors.

text: This recording of Die Zauberflote has clear sound, good conducting by the wonderful Karl Bohm, and focused singing from well-liked European singers of the mid50s - Leopold Simoneau, Hilde Gueden, Wilma Lipp, and Walter Berry as Belmonte, Pamina, the Queen, and Papageno, respectively.  It can come across as sedate and deliberate, but it is worth listening to these singers expert performances and Bohm's assured conducting.  The stereo sound is spacious and full-bodied, as well.


title: Legendario!

text: A must have for the Lovers of Mexican music!


title: I'm impressed!

text:
Thanks to ColDan45s for the most impressive packaging.
Your presentation of this 45 was also impressive.
The 45 itself, being a used item was, in my opinion,  never used or it was taken care of very well.
It also came with the original sleeve.
Way nice !
I recommend this seller for sure.
Peace...

title: Curious.

text: I've always been curious about NRG and their song Instruments of Destruction, Which i love. That being said, I searched Wikipidia and found that NRG was fronted by Wes Brown. Here's my confusion. I've listened to the song several times and i was positive that it was Dave Mustaine of Megadeth on vocals. Was he a guest vocalist or are my ears deceiving me? I'm sorry this does'nt relate to Damn Cheetah but i'm really dying to know!


title: Good stuff...

text: I listened to Zhelezniyi and Batleship (What do you do with it?) on YouTube; awesome songs, some of their best yet! I can't wait until I can download these from Amazon or iTunes! :D Also check out their past collaborations with Noize MC, and of course the amazing video for Capital.

text: Every single song on the cd is fantastic.


title: Best acapella group ever

text: I love the group ORDINARIUS even though most of their songs are in Portuguese & I don’t understand it, the harmonies are quite lovely & pleasurable!


title: Solid tape

text: This tape features a novel collection of Fahey's most well-regarded work between 59 and 77. Levels are mastered appropriately. I'm going to preserve mine until 2054 at which time I will deposit the tape in a kombucha bottle and flow it down the Sligo Creek in Maryland.


title: Great Power Pop

text: Three Hour Tour: Looking For Tomorrow is a great album which I just got a few weeks ago. The band is from central Illinois and they are alt-rockers that deliver power pop with permanence. Catchy, memorable tunes populate an album that is solid from beginning to end. Darren Cooper heads a lineup that includes Adam Schmitt, John Richardson, Paul Chastain, Kent Whitesell, Brad Elvis, Ric Menck, Terry Wathen and Brian Sindler who hit the nail directly on the head. Songwriting, performances and production come together with a sense of fun and emotion to make a pop album that is indispensable, not disposable. Also look for their other releases including the equally entertaining "B-Side Oblivion."


title: Well presented

text: Both my wife and I both have listened to this collection of devotional material over and over. There is variety that includes meditative passages of a quite nature and song  by the like of Burl Ives that could stir those at  a tent revival meeting to  stand up and shout. We put the disc in the car and it certainly beats  what is on the radio. If you like spiritual oriented music and gospel music of the past,you surely will find this something worth listening to.


title: A -got to-have collection if you grew up during the 50's and 60's

text: Today's music can't hold a candle to these classics and the artist who sang or played them. We put them on a multi-disc player and listen to the whole collection time after time. If you miss the likes of Nat King Cole, Perry Como.,Patti Page and Frankie Lane,you can't help enjoying the selections in this anthology of great listening.


title: great music of different variety,both my wife and I enjoy it

text: For anyone interested in some quality listening where you can actually hear the lyrics this is great stuff and certainly of good variety.


title: Nice Cd

text: This is a nice worshipful cd. If you want to worship God this cd is perfect.


title: Great CD!

text: If you love Joe Walsh buy this greatest hits CD!  It has all of his hits!

Good value and a happy young lady!


title: Five Stars

title: Rip off

text: The reason this has no picture is that it is a promotional CD from Levi - it was originally given away free. Not happy with it, and the jewel case for the CD arrived cracked and broken.


title: One of the best albums ever put out.

text: Theres nothing to dislike. Dont even read the reviews just buy the thing and if you hate it then theres no reason you should be looking at this album or reading this. You should be ashamed of yourself for allowing your temptations to lead you this far. ... but still... this would a solid purchase, especially during this turmoltuous time when you desperately need guidance.


title: Half'n'half album

text: The other reviews should have said it up front: this album is both jazz and gospel.  If you like both, it's great, if you like one but not the other, you won't get enough of either.  Gospel isn't really my thing.  For the jazz size, Cavor definitely shows up with competent smooth arrangements and skilled playing.

title: Paint the Town Crimson

text: This collection features many thrilling accounts that will be of interest to Crimson Tide fans, including the dramatic 1979 goal-line stand against Penn State, when Alabama linebacker Barry Krauss slammed into the Netherly Lions' running back Mike Van Guman with such force that Van Guman's left ear was severed and he saw stars for several hours. Van Guman commemorated the event with his iconic 1889 painting "Starry Tuscaloosa Night."

text: I wish a transliteration to English was included in her CD package. Her songs are inspiring and uplifting. I wish I could speak Hebrew.


title: A Happy Blast from the Past!

text: Favorite childhood songs. Fun and educational.


title: Best Christmas Music

text:
The most beautiful Christmas music, just piano, no vocal.
Absolutely the best!  So calming and relaxing.  I listen
to this almost exclusively at Christmas time.


title: Love it! I haven't seen this in the U

text: Love it! I haven't seen this in the U.S., but got it last month as a present. I've been rocking out with lesser played Foo Fighters songs and covers since then!


title: The Railsplitters "The Faster It Goes" is innovative and a must hear

text: I love the diversity and musicianship of this band.  The hard work on arrangements and talent of these 5 musicians comes through in every song.  It's not just for Bluegrass fans. It goes way beyond Bluegrass, incorporating a more contemporary sound and even jazz while staying true to the roots of Bluegrass.  Give it a listen.  You won't be disappointed.


title: Great audio book for long trips

text: Enjoyed listening to The innocent, not two many characters to keep track of, yet it held our interest for 12 hours.


title: Five Stars

text: Simply beautiful.


title: No Track Lisitng.

text: The information listed is not enough. There is no listing of the tracks.  I am looking for two particular songs : Mamma Mia & Bring Your Smile Along".  If these songs are in the CD, let me know.


title: Wonderful....

text: ...but there was less than 25 minutes of music on the whole album.  I wish it would have been longer.


title: Real Great but not Phenomenal...

text: I can dig electronica, and seeing as how it goes hand in hand with cyberpunk (the lifeblood of the Matrix continuum) how can this disc go wrong? Believe it or not, it didn't, which is a pleasant surprise. The Various Artist collections from the first two Matrix films were a mixed bag of decent tunes (though too much hard edged guitar-industrial for my taste) and for as amazing and broad in vision as the Animatrix is, the music is more on the "ehhh" side. Not the most amazing gotta-listen-to-that-song-again stuff I've heard, but at least it's more consistent with the machine-music than with the Deftones-ish angst-rock junk. Get is as cheap as you can and the deal will be even sweeter. Oh, and for the reviewer who claims that you have to watch each segment of the Animatrix DVD seperately, NOT TRUE... all you hafta do is select "play all" and it'll run them in sequence. Hope this helps all you skeptical sorts! :)

title: Gentle is my Love

text: I so love this album.  I had this album up till last year, someone  took it from our home.  I wish Capital Records would release this album as a CD!!!


title: Why 5 stars?

text: Obviously, it's not the audio and recording quality of the best surround recordings from the '80s and newer, but amazing for 1970. And it's so cool listening to a classic like this for the first time in quadraphonic sound. The quad is somewhat subtle, on most tracks emphasized more near the end of the track. If you have any doubt that your system is set up properly, start with American Woman track 4, No Sugar Tonight--New Mother Nature. If you like the Guess Who and have an SACD player, get this while you can.


title: Fine Recording

text: Great Recording of a wonderful musical. Record itself was in great condition and I was able to make a Wave file of it without too much processing. Now This fine recording of Hill Bowen is part of my MP3 Favorites that I play in my car on my daily commute to work! Thank you so very much.


title: Joining the chorus....

text:
Finally just got this, after holding off mostly because of other releases from roughly the same era with similar setlists. Don't be like me!  A) The party stirred by the presence of Ponty, Ian Underwood, and Humphries as sole drummer (pre-Napoleon) is sufficiently different even from the Roxy ensemble to make this a singularly valuable excavation. More importantly, bottom line, B) the music played is phenomenal!  Consistently exciting, insanely tight, insanely good.  And soundwise, plenty of breathing room between the players. Expecting worse from the warnings I'd read, I think the mix is amazing for 2- & 4-track recordings. I can pick out each player at any given time, none too loud or faint and therefore you can really hear them playing off one another.

I know this gets said a lot about various releases, but I'm saying it ~ one of the finest Zappa releases ever. I think I've got a new favorite time machine destination if I could catch any live Zappa moment. These guys 'n gal are beyond compare.


title: But it sounds pretty damned good

text:
Yes, it's a bootleg.  Yes, Pearl Jam is all about the live and vault releases, and this one isn't going to compare to those sound-wise.  But it sounds pretty damned good, all instruments and voices in the mix, with the atmosphere of the theater and the energy of the occasion. Raw in the best way. Great setlist, and as for the performance....the boys are on fire.  Highly recommended if you're not a snobby audiophile.

The setlist, Showbox 14 Sept 96:
Sometime / Hail Hail / Who are you / In my Tree / Habit / Red Mosquito / Present Tense / Off he goes / Mankind / Animal / Last Exit / Evenflow / Tremor Christ / Not for You / Immortality / Whipping / I Got Id / Leaving Here / Wash / Go / Dissident / Alive / Around the Bend


title: splendorous

text:
They could consider putting this show into the Library of Congress. What a monster.

Wow, every time I think I've narrowed down my favorite 4-5 ChinaCat > Riders, here comes another....  This is about as perfectly realized a CC>R as you're gonna find. When Keith's on, the difference he makes can be measured by the smile on your face, and he's putting in some lovely stuff here, especially on Rider. Phil's high-in-the-mix high harmony reminds me of his book, where he gushed that when a three-part harmony was on, it was as exhilarating to him as the musical moments of magic. That exuberance is in great evidence here. And Jerry's outro lead on Rider, geez.....his '66 incarnation had nothing on this lightning-fast solo. Picture perfect China Cat, Jerry's classic peak riff on the outro is now fully in place by Fall....but it's the jam AFTER that, in no hurry to arrive at Know You Rider, where the band hits an even more joyful stride.

Intense & inspired Bird Song, too ~ speaking of Phil's high harmony.  I love Brent's harmony on this song later, but Phil knew & loved Janis, and one has to think the wound was still fresh as they sang these earlier versions.

The Keith-derived smiles are in abundance for the Casey Jones finale, too.  Did this song ever peak to such thrill pitch after '72?

A pause to say I really enjoy the cover art. The black & white outer cover turning into color for the liner note booklet is yet another endearing nod to Dorothy & company.  On to the second set.

Had to play Cumberland twice in a row. Masterful version, they go to some unique places, and Keith again a key factor.  To echo someone's point about how Jerry rages behind the vocals (not just the solos) on songs like Me and My Uncle, listen to what he's doing here while Bob's singing "and you can hear him cry" : )  Is it me, or does Jerry's '72 voice mysteriously time-travel to his 80's voice halfway through "move awaaay"?
The same turbo-charged fun powers El Paso, as well.  Billy, Jerry, Keith, Phil....all throwing in such cool things as Bob rages vocally.

He's Gone is wonderful, especially the gospel vocals, even before the celebrated outro jam that fully lives up to the hype, inaugurated by some calisthenics by Jerry and then into a groove that carries band and audience away. Jerry tears it up on Truckin' ~ what he plays off of the second "long strange trip it's been" tells the tale even before the searing jam to come. A whole review/analysis could be written on this Other One. From the atypically hushed Jerry harmonics after the first verse, to the watery space that follows, to the Phil ('n Billy) led melodic riff that Jerry picks up on and Keith completely takes over, to the wah-infused wickedness that's as far out as anything from '68 or '69 (and beating the Playin' jam at its own game along the way).... Billy just killing it the entire time, right into the final chorus. Which then drops BEAUTIFULLY into Brokedown (why didn't that happen more often?), sung sweet as sugar by Jerry. The concert could've ended splendidly right there, but no, the expected Sugar Mag and as inspired a one as you'll hear. Every member and every song just shines in this set.

Uncle John's shakes just a little on the timing of verses, but everyone's committed to keeping it together, and they do. Another unique middle jam, and a searing Dm finale one, with Keith appearing unexpectedly (with a major note?) toward the end to layer the cake one higher. Then a go-for-broke Johnny B. Goode with Jerry & Keith soloing over each other.

This one's a keeper.  The filler from Oklahoma City will have to wait.  I want to digest this splendorous show from Wichita.


title: the latest essential release

text:
This release is fantastic. Delightful and very exciting moment in the band's trajectory, captured for our listening (and marveling) pleasure.

First, I love the pranksterish mood & energy ~ the banter sounds more like '69 than '71 (Jerry: "if you want professionalism, we'll have to charge another buck").

Starting with the third disc first.....

The Dark Star -> Sitting On Top of the World -> Dark Star is so strong I had to play it twice. Jerry leads the band into deep space fast on DS ~ and Keith is SO in, even pointing the band (who are effortlessly game) down a side-street or two.  Jerry's vocals are wonderful.  In the first chorus of DS, he sings "transitive nightfall" in the trippy high register, a la the 2nd chorus (and closer to Phil's part)...might be the only time I've heard that. And the end is classic original psychedelic ending, with Jerry & Phil duetting vocally & musically.....one of the last of these, I imagine. By 3/23/72 when they attempt it, they're quite rusty and after that (starting with Europe '72) I'm not sure they ever go there again. Great ambience with that ending, by the way ~ nice cheers of acknowledgement.

The Sitting On Top of the World is my new instant favorite version ever. Completely rocks, Keith is incredible on it and so is Jerry ~ his solo goes three times around and he sings some atypical verses, too. The transition back into Dark Star is predictably masterful. SchWEET Bobby McGee (Jerry's solo and background vocals sparkle), and they're really inhabiting a great Brown-Eyed Woman that they've obviously gotten more intimate with since the 8/24 version on Dicks 35.

Since 10/21 was a radio broadcast, maybe some of you already know this performance. I don't, and it's a joy.

All the kudos to Phil I've heard are spot on. His bass voice is fearless (he has to steer the ship during Jerry's long Top of the World soloing) and he's just belting out the harmonies on Ramble On Rose and Cumberland....what he forgoes in subtlety he graces with exuberance.
One More Saturday Night is just bursting with juice.... The boys are cooking, and they know it.

Vocal flubs notwithstanding (the song had gotten rarer and would shortly be put on ice), the Stephen encore crunches nicely and ~ as on 8/06/71 (I think) ~ features the old Aoxomoxoa phase effect on Jerry's voice during the middle.

Beautifully aching (occasionally muscular) vocals from Jerry on Cold Rain. Sweet, sweet version.  Love the embryonic Playin' jam, as well....they're pretty much mining the Main Ten jam, which makes sense since that's how the tune was born ~ thankfully for all of us, they decided not to let such a great space riff go to waste after all....

Phil's bass runs over Keith's BIODTL solo are ridiculous.

I'm thinking this is the only piano-only Cryptical I've ever heard. The novelty of the reprise jam turning into Deal ALMOST makes up for Jerry's not belting out a final "you know he had to die".... Almost. But really, it's a superb That's It For the Other One (including Billy's solo drums). The one from just two months earlier on 8/23 at the same venue (from Road Trips 1.3) is stellar also, but so different for having Pigpen's organ rather than Keith's piano.

I think the 10/21 crowd won the encore sweepstakes. Jerry's voice is utterly sung out by the time they launch into Casey Jones on 10/22, but bless his heart, he doesn't give up, and keeps the finale choruses coming anyway....with vocal assistance from Bob (who always belted out the "Drivin' that train"s in this era ~ my favorite era for this song for precisely that reason).

Barring the Europe '72 box, this is my favorite release since RT 4.3 (Denver '73), probably since Big Rock Pow Wow. Has really ingratiated itself upon my heart in short order.  Thanks, Dave. You were right. This needed to be released.


title: One Star

text: Beware. This is an unofficial release, a bootleg.


title: Gift

text: they loved this


title: Wonderful purchase! Fast delivery and good customer service!!

text: I am really enjoying this music!


title: Buyer beware

text: If you are buying this cd hoping to hear the rare quad mixes of these albums, you will be very disappointed, unless you have an SACD player. If you play it back on a regular cd player, all you will hear is the stereo versions already available on cd's from Sundazed and Raven. It's not like the Quadraphonic records of the 70's that were playable on both stereo and quad systems. So if you're just looking for great sounding stereo, it's a good deal; but for the quad, look elsewhere.


title: Ride to the Wall is back

text: It would be impossible to top the first Ride to the Wall, which was all Raiders. This one features guest artists performing with the current lineup (as of 2005: Omar Martinez, Danny Krause, Doug Heath, Ron Foos, and Darrin Medley. Carl Driggs also contributed to the recording before he left the band in early 2004. Omar is really the star on this cd - he does a lot of the singing, some solo and some with guests. He does a great version of the Billy Ray Cyrus song "Some Gave All", and teams up with Sam Moore on a remake of the Edwin Starr hit "War". Omar also does a great version of the Jefferson Airplane classic "Somebody to Love". Of the guest artists, Gary Puckett impressed me the most with his original song "Those Beautiful Eyes". This cd also has the final recording by the Righteous Brothers, "Let's Work Together". The Raiders display their amazing versatility in backing this cast of guest performers. There may  be a better group of musicians out there, but I haven't heard them. And great, informative liner notes by Paul Revere himself.


title: Best live Raiders

text: There are a number of live discs by Paul Revere and the Raiders - most out of print, including the one before this, Generic Rock & Roll, from 1993. Generic Rock 2 was released in 1996, and features live versions of most of the Raiders hits (although some are strung together in medleys), along with their versions of some other hits from the 60's (their take on "Mustang Sally" is the only one worth listening to that is not by Wilson Pickett). Best of all, there are three studio tracks that close the program, "No Tell Motel Rendezvous", "Dancin' in the City", and "Too Many Girls in My Soup". If you are a fan of the 80's/90's Raiders, you need to own a copy of this disc.


title: Exceptional & beautiful book of the best artist this world has ever ...

text: Exceptional & beautiful book of the best artist this world has ever experienced.  A must-buy for Prince fans!  I love it!


title: Dueto Miseria on CD  -  Great Find

text: Dueto Miseria is an old group and I was really happy to find their recordings available on Amazon in CD format.  I first heard a recording of theirs' in the 70's while I was in Mexico.  I found a local music store and bought a cassette of their recordings.  I have been playing that cassette ever since and have been afraid that it would eventually break.  While searching on Amazon for a cassette to MP3 converter I also found several CDs.  What a lucky break!<br />They are brothers who sing a lot of the old songs and their voices blend with each other so well that even though they sing harmony they sound like one voice.


title: It stretches your brain.

text: Original and creative but not a record I’ll be playing a lot. Emends me of the creativity of Bela Fleck, whom I like, but for those expecting funk, nope, you won’t get it here. I like this because it’s Lenny, but I can’t recommend it.


title: This is by far my favorite band. The liner notes alone were well worth ...

text: I bought this package for a song less than two minutes long, but the first two cuts of the cd are versions of songs not previously released. This is by far my favorite band. The liner notes alone were well worth what I paid. For me, it doesn’t get any better than TOP.


title: The Real Deal

text: Their third cd, and proof that these master musicians are no con job that only sound good in studio productions. The Horn Heads accompany on a few cuts and they, too, are the real deal. Horns, country, and rock....hard to label these guys other than labeling them as being damn good.


title: Hard to find rare import.

text: Even though this was taken from a radio show and is somewhat rough the show is historically important and I would recommend buying this for a Todd Rundgren hardcore fan. I have to warn you the sound quality is not compact disc standard. It is a great show.


title: Thank you John Peel

text:
excellent cd.the performances are stellar with only a few glitches from the original source tapes.here is the track listing as printed on the sleeve:
1.Fat Old Sun  15:27
2.One of These Days  7:31
3.Echoes.  26:32
4.Embryo  10:06
5.Blues  4:56
However, the info on tracks 3 and 4 is switched.Track 3 is actually Embryo,and track 4 is Echoes.


title: a record of what might have been

text: first off,let me say this is a bootleg,so how it found its way onto amazon i'm not sure.having said that,this is a must have for any serious bowie fan.as most of you know,stevie ray vaughn played lead guitar on the"lets dance" album,but dropped out of the subsequent tour at the 11th hour.so what we have here is a record of what might have been with SRV playing lead guitar on the best of bowies 70's and early eighties material.this is a soundboard recording of a rehearsal,warts and all, with bowie making a few vocal flubs and miscues but the musicians are in top form with some interesting new arrangements.the high light is when they segue from "fashion" into "lets dance" without missing a beat. if for no other reason,this is worth owning just for its historical value and the sound quality is excellent.


title: I Can See Why There Are No Reviews

text:
At the price being asked -- $43.50! -- it's no wonder there are no reviews by verified buyers. And I'm not verified either; I bought this disc at the late Tower Records more than 10 years ago for less than $5. Anyway....

String Quartet No. 15 is the one featured prominently in Woody Allen's "Crimes and Misdemeanors." It is long, symphonic in scope, and it will make you appreciate Schubert's genius in yet another genre. Symphonies, lieder, piano sonatas, and now string quartets. This disc, like the others in the series by the Kodalys, is well played and in good digital sound. It is the perfect introduction to the Schubert quartets, when and if you can find it at a decent price. My advice: pass on this particular offer, look around and, if you can find it for under $15, grab it immediately. You won't regret it. As I type this, in late May 2016, there's one for sale on eBay at $10.76.


title: The little old man

text: This album came with a booklet too, if you don’t know I purchase these for a little old man at work. He’s relieving his past through music, and it’s amazing to see someone his age cry when a younger person who knows how to use a computer, finds an old album he love bad in his day. Thanks!


title: "Im going to sit with Dr. Stone"...

text:
Note this review is about the music on "If It's So" not this particular CD release, which is apparently not official or at least well recorded.

Frank Zappa once said (I'm paraphrasing), "Rock criticism is written by writers who can't write, about muscians who can't play, for people who can't read." Much of the rock criticism from that era completely missed the mark, and overlooked great bands like this one. Note how Rolling Stone has "re-written" many of their reviews of now recognized classics such as "After The Gold Rush", etc. Black Sabbath was dismissed as "junk rock", but I'd be hard pressed to find anyone now who won't recgnize Iommi's brilliant guitar riffs and playing on "Supernaut" or "Tomorrow's Dream". I digress.

These great muscians from Long Island made funk rock, hard rock, blues rock and soul harmonies a big part of the Illusion sound on their first two releases. However, songs like  "You Make Me What I Am", "Run, Run, Run", "Happy Days", and "Angel" from the first two Illusion albums are not funk rock, and sound similar to songs on their final and greatest (in my opinion) album.

Which bring me to "If It's So". The Side 2 "suite" advances the muscianship, songwriting, harmony, and melodic sensibility of the group. They had matured as artists. I think "If It's So" is less dated than a lot of the more popular bands of that era. Both sides of "If It's So" hold up today. These guys could play, sing and write songs. My only regret is that I never saw them perform.

I won't argue whether the "Five Song Suite" on Side 2 it is better than "Did You See Her Eyes", but consider this: the chorus and guitar at the 3:30 mark of "DYSHE" is highly derivative of Sly and the Family Stone. I love Sly, and I also really like "Did You See Her Eyes".  But "Collection-If It's So-Life Cycle Theme-Dr. Stone-Recuverdas De Alhambra" from "If It's So" are an original five song cycle, and one of the great album sides from 1970, possibly from that entire era.

"Achoo" has indicated this is not an official release, or is a poorly made one, which is too bad. I await the first quality recording of this underrated, and unheard relic of a long gone era.


title: A Gorgeous Sounding Record

text: What a wonderful sounding recording! Jack Marshall on acoustic guitar and Shelly Manne on percussion. A nice Latin guitar and a huge variety of different percussion from Shelly.


title: Buy It!

text: This is a great upbeat fusion vinyl album. Great jazz and funk.


title: Great box set

text: The first five albums by the hottest of the Ohio funk bands. Massive jams with some of the greatest bass playing by the late great Mark Adams. Nasty<br />hard rock guitar by the late great Mark Hicks. The smooth vocals of Steve Arrington, Curt Jones and Starleana Young made this one of the best funk bands on the planet. All of the albums are really fantastic with The Concept and Stone Jam being my personal favorites. From mean funk to ballads and even smoking hard rock this was a very talented group. Get while it's still in available.


title: It has its moments -

text: In the years just after Jimi's death , some very poor LPs recorded in NYC around 1966 were put out . Good live shows were scarce . One that you would often see was the Royal Albert Hall . Good versions of Voodoo Child  etc . Contributions by members of Traffic sound great in theory , but on listening were pretty tedious . An interesting document of his playing between LADYLAND and BAND OF GYPSYS . Various repackagings of this can be found cheaply unless you want a sealed vinyl copy or something .


title: Once you have the classic debut , a chance to see what else they came up with -

text: If you like Bay Area hippie culture , the Today  release is a pleasure and the earlier Beautiful Day has LaFlamme  on board if the changed lineup seems too weird .


title: The old devil always did have a sense of humor .

text: After youve perused DIARY of a DRUG FIEND , and thrown a Tarot reading with your Crowley deck , need more AC  ? How about a few spells invoking the Enochian sprites of Dr Dee with Ragtime Aleister singing a few songs too as he bangs on the piano like an occult Fats Waller  ?


title: Young and Vital Carlene.

text: I first became aware of Carlene in the 1990s after seeing a video for Every Little Thing. This song and other tunes ooze  with good vibes and uplifting moods. I recently saw her live. She still has her chops and voice. While she currently is playing classic compositions by country legends, I hope she can kick out more of this happy music again. I only wish I could have followed her career since I first heard her. Thanks to Amazon, I hope to find her other CDs from her past .


title: Joni through the years

text: This 3 cd set is of three different Joni Mitchel concerts recorded over her career. The earliest one is a bit compomised in sound quality, but the music shines through. the other two are recorded well and reflect Joni's transitions in songs and composition. recommended for true Mitchell fans.


title: The beginning of a great band.

text: As far as I know, this is the first pairing of the Gnostic Trio. If you look for them under Gnostic Trio, you won't find them. The sound of electric guitar, harp, and Vibes is a match made in heaven. John Zorn the composer and producer gets all the credit here. There are other Gnostic Trio recordings which followed. I wish their name was on the front cover so other listeners or potential listeners could find their other recordings more easily. How about " ZORN's GNOSTIC TRIO". If they re issue these, and I hope they do, The group of Bill Frisell, Carol Emanuel, and Kenny Wollesen will be acknowledged for a series of terrific recordings.


title: An introduction to  Carita.

text: I purchased this because of the songs by Carita. She does three songs in the soundtrack: I Will Survive, Don't Go Breaking my Heart, and the Beat goes On. The Cd also contains the original Don't Go Breaking my Heart by Elton John and Kiki Dee. There are other nice musical pieces in the soundtrack, but the Carita songs were why I purchased it. I especially like her feisty version of The Beat Goes On.. I hope this gets Carita more attention. I wish there were more Cds of her singing.


title: Was Morphine the Last Great Band, or what?

text:
This ranks in the top 5 live albums in rock.  Their 'classics' played with the assurance of masters at their craft.  And the songs themselves?  Utterly brilliant -- direct yet wry, beguilingly simple yet the layers slowly begin to surface with every listen.  I'm often amazed at how much better these versions are compared to the studio ones (btw, do not be put off by the "bootleg" label; the sound is pristine).  Sandman's death made him irreplaceable.

The mood throughout is playfully ironic and genuinely bohemian without a hint of pose.  Morphine was the epitome of underground art, free from market expectations and in pursuit of a vision that brought their considerable talents to the fore.

They are sorely missed.

title: If you're on this page, you already love this CD

text:
Little known and underrated, Nite City had a brief moment of greatness. Since this page is probably part of a longer search to finally own this wonderful album on CD, I'll get straight to whether it's worth the purchase price. And I'll skip the hyperbole for your convenience...

First of all, this is a 2-for-1 featuring both Nite City albums on one CD (I frankly had never before heard their 2nd, slightly weaker release). Sound quality is great overall. The packaging is acceptable, if a bit cheesy. The delivery by this unfamiliar German distributor was exceptional.

If you loved this album in the 70's, you'll be thrilled by owning this CD.


title: Billy sounds like Jon Lord of Deep Purple

text:
What this is...(Tracks 1 thru 8 anyway)...The Group Attila: Billy Joel-Organ & Vocals and Jonathan Small-Drums both from Billy's previous band The Hassles. (Billy plays keyboard bass)

Billy runs the organ through some distortion devices, an echo-plex, a ring modulator, and who knows what all, and it sounds very much like Deep Purple at times. Add to that his frantic vocals and you have something very different from what you would think Joel was capable of. It makes some interesting listening for the die hard fan (like myself) but casual listeners would be better off avoiding this.

I found this CD 10 years ago buried in the cut-out section of Wal-Mart for about $5.99 or so.

Tracks 9 thru 14 have NOTHING to do with Billy Joel. The less said the better.


title: A Masterpiece of Psychedelic Music

text: This belongs on everyone’s music shelf


title: This is too awesome for words!

text: A masterpiece that I never knew existed... This is a “must have” for any Genesis fan... Absolutely amazing!


title: Just what I was looking for

text: This course has added immeasurably to my knowledge of the history of psychology. A great teacher, fantastic material. Am listening to the whole thing once again.


title: Great sound, good selection

text: This sounds SO MUCH BETTER than my previous Byrds CD!  Of course there are songs I would have loved to be on this, and a few I could have done without, but overall a great collection.


title: Has some great songs on it

text: Has some great songs on it. Love the title track "Mamacita" makes you want to dance everytime you hear it.


title: MsPrissy

text: My Granddaughter loves it and sings and plays it every day. I reccommend this to all fans of the backyardigans .


title: A must have

text:
Horrible sound, but a must have for the fans of Die Meistersinger and/or Toscanini. One needs to change the mindset listening to it. It is a historical recoding and you cannot compare it to a modern or digital recording. But this is like a grauduate school after taking the undergrad courses like Karajan, Kubelick, Sawallisch, etc.,

For under $ 50 for a used copy, it is perfect for this purpose. I wouldn't spend $ 800 for a new Andante or $ 400 for a used Andante. The sound might be improved, but the price is outrageous. Both are historical recodings anyway.


title: Five Stars

text: Received as expected.  Thank you.


title: Great compilation of demos and alternate mixes

text: This CD was a limited run of 3000 offered by the band's fan club back in 2006. There are some excellent tracks on here not offered anywhere else. The best of the bunch is the original mix of "Angel." The remix of this track by Broadcast has been available on Continental for years, but to finally hear the song in its original superior version is a real treat. There's a great demo of "Heart Failed" and even a version of "7 Ways to Love" - a track from St. Etienne side project Cola Boy - here with vocals by Sarah. The demo of "Goodnight" here is, to my ears, better than the final version that appeared on Turnpike House. The alternative mix of "Hobart Paving" is gorgeous too; it made me wonder how the mix here didn't make it onto So Tough - it's that good. This CD is tough to get your hands on these days for less than $70 or $80 but it's a real treasure for Saint Etienne completists.

I have the other five albums but this one and I like them all.
Earlier in the week I listened to part of it again to see if maybe I would get it before turning it off , no Corp America pun intended.
What on earth happened to Tom? His hearing must be shot . This has to be the worst sounding album I’ve ever heard. Tinny mix , those fake drums are even worse than ever and mixed worse than ever too. It makes those recent Yngwie albums sound like Sgt Pepper in comparison. And why THREE yes THREE repeat songs from the latest album before this - Corp. America ? How stupid is that ? Can you imagine if Don’t Look Back repeated three of the first album’s songs ? What a bloody mess. Tom, bring back a real drummer and get another producer , and stop repeating songs .WHY  Three repeat songs ?


title: Love Twisted Tunes

text: Can't wait for Bob Rivers to come out with some more twisted tunes, I would pretty much buy anything he does.


title: Just like the record.

text: I bought this bootleg in vinyl when it first came out, and in order to preserve it, as bootleg vinyl records could be a little iffy if played too much. Anyways, the single best Love In Vain solo ever performed by Mick Taylor is on this record. The seller also includes a second cd with another bootlegged concert with mick Taylor, and except for the feedback of a bad monitor p.a. system is another exciting concert. So two cd's for the price of one. That was cool.


title: Great CD!

text: I got this CD a couple weeks ago, Great CD!!!! A very over looked group, all track are really good.


title: Puccini and Pasta

text: Selections cover most of Puccini's operas with a variety of singers--tenors, sopranos, including selections (one each, from Manon Lescaut and The Girle of the Golden West), a wonderful treat for all Puccini lovers.


title: Great condition

text: Thank you. Very pleased.


title: Highly Entertaining!

text: I picked this one up in the bargain bin at a 'BestBuy' type store in Berlin.  It is highly entertaining,  The style is along the lines of perhaps 'Quartetto Gelato', with Hungarian/Klezmer  overtones. I find it to be quite delightful.


title: Five Stars

text: Beautiful performances of these rare gems.


title: We need this one...

text: Of all the records I sold when I converted to digital back in the day, this is one of the ones I miss most.  I listened to the old record so many times it was nearly worn out.  This is a great collection of Ives choral music.  Ives was relatively prolific, and not every piece was a masterpiece.  The collection here is fairly accessible, and always with typical Ivesian quirks.  I will be first in line when this album is re-mastered and re-released.
