title: Seriously underrated

text:
I remember the controversy when [[ASIN:0345428455 Vector Prime]] was first published years ago. In fact, the whole stir discouraged me from ever venturing into the New Jedi Order series. Now, over a decade later, I decided to take the plunge - and loved it! [[ASIN:0345428455 Vector Prime]] takes Star Wars into a much more serious and emotionally powerful direction.

[[ASIN:0345428455 Vector Prime]] begins the New Jedi series by introducing the Yuuzhan Vong, a group of extragalactic invaders who resemble the Orcs of [[ASIN:0618640150 The Lord of the Rings]] in their viciousness and disgusting habits. They hate machines and use organic beings for their weapons and starfighters. As villains, they're not particularly interesting. However, they ooze evil and provide a great backdrop to up the emotional intensity of the Star Wars universe.

With the threat of looming invasion, [[ASIN:0345428455 Vector Prime]] also pushes the familiar Star Wars characters to unfamiliar extremes. Of course, [[ASIN:0345428455 Vector Prime]] features Han, Luke, Leia, Chewie, and all of our favorite Star Wars characters, as well as some of the more famous Expanded Universe characters like the Solo kids and Mara Jade. However, Salvatore does an incredible job bringing them to life. The characters display a range of emotions that we don't ever get to observe in most other Star Wars novels. Leia becomes an overbearing mother, Han goes into a fit of grief, and Luke is a doting husband. Moreover, this is the first time the Solo kids come across as unique and interesting characters in their own right, rather than as hostage victims or protagonists for a Young Jedi Knights series.

Even the death - that so controversial death - is handled with grace. The Star Wars characters had become a bit too settled, with each taking on familiar roles and repeating the same lines. Aside from Mara Jade and the Solo kids, there hadn't really been any major changes to the roster of main characters since Empire Strikes Back. Now, THE death leaves a whole in this group of friends, and, as much as I hated to see that character die, I agree with the publishers that killing one of the main characters really allows for greater character exploration. Salvatore allows each character to cope with the loss in his or her own way. I loved seeing how these characters I've known and loved since my childhood changed and reacted to changing events. They feel more alive and real because they can grow. And, yes, my eyes welled up during the death scene. It's quite moving and is not trivialized in any any.

I can't speak for the rest of the New Jedi Order series yet, but [[ASIN:0345428455 Vector Prime]] convinced me to take the plunge and try it. It's very well written and is much more emotionally engaging than almost anything else in the Expanded Universe. If you're a Star Wars fan and haven't tried it, I'd recommend reading at least this one.


title: Even puppets deserve a good soundtrack

text: This is easily one of the most beautiful fantasy soundtracks I've ever heard in a movie. It has a very soft, ethereal quality to it. The soundtrack makes what is essentially a puppet show seem like a real epic. I only wish this 2-disc version were still available. It has 70 minutes of music compared to the original's 40 minutes. You can find this set secondhand, but it's expensive.


title: The sounds of being hunted

text: Brilliant. The movie has a distinctive "predator" theme that has defined the series for a generation. This is one of Silvestri's best. A real classic.


title: Great family movie

text: Gotta love a movie that combines wild animals with Romans and the Wild West. [[ASIN:B000NOKJC2 Night at the Museum (Widescreen Edition)]] manages to throw all of these adventures together in one film. The result is a fun and often funny film - even for adults. The CG animation looks pretty good, but doesn't overwhelm the plot of story. Usually, all-star casts don't work so well together, but this cast - Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, and even Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney - works brilliantly and bring their characters to life - literally. Definitely recommended for family movie nights.


title: Cute for kids

text: This is a cute movie. The Olsen twins are impossibly cute, even cuter than Michelle in [[ASIN:B000U1ZV4O Full House]]. However, "To Grandmother's House We Go" certainly is more appropriate for kids. The movie does get silly at some points and I think many adults would grow bored watching the Olsen twins over and over.


title: Five Stars

text: Good Product


title: Five Stars

text: Great collection of old music


title: Unfortunately, not a good choice.

text: Unfortunately, I had to return this CD. The song titles on the tracks would not show up on my CD player (only listed as Track 1, 2, etc). It would not copy to my computer to put on my iPod. It did not have the markings of a correctly recorded CD. I was disappointed because it is hard to find Luis Angel's CDs any longer.


title: Great product at an exceptional price

text: Very nice for a good thick notebook. The price was great too.


title: “Haydn: Complete Piano Trios:” the “crown jewel” of my classical music library.

text:
Ever since I purchased my 9-CD set of “Haydn: Complete Piano Trios,” I've been listening to it constantly. It is, in every way, a brilliant recording. The Beaux Arts Trio’s musicianship is exquisite, with Isidore Cohen (violin), Bernard Greenhouse (cello), and Menahem Pressler (piano) infusing each note they play with a complete mastery of their art, a warm and lively expressiveness, and a joyful enthusiasm for what they are doing.

When I first began listening to the CDs, I was amazed by their superb audio quality, which is always clear, crisp, and precise. I can easily hear every bow drawn over Cohen's violin and Greenhouse’s cello, and every note emanating from Pressler’s piano. The album’s warm and realistic ambiance makes it a delightful listening experience from beginning to end. There is an excellent balance maintained between the three instrumentalists (even though, at times, the balance seems to favor the violin and piano at the expense of the cello, reflecting the way Haydn composed his piano trios).

Without question, “Haydn: Complete Piano Trios” has become the “crown jewel” of my classical music library, and my clear favorite among all my classical music recordings. Most highly recommended.


title: One of the finest recordings of Beethoven's violin sonatas available.

text: "Beethoven: Complete Violin Sonatas Volume 1" is the first of two volumes containing all ten of the violin sonatas composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Simply put, these performances are brilliant in every way. In these recordings from 1979 and 1980, Austrian pianist Ingrid Haebler and Polish violinist Henryk Szeryng combine to play each of Beethoven's Violin Sonatas Nos. 1-5 with incomparable artistry. Their musicianship exudes tremendous warmth and vitality, and the obviously special chemistry between them is in no way diminished by the slightly thin tonal quality of Szeryng's violin. Both of Beethoven's violin romances, performed by Szeryng and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra under the baton of conductor Bernard Haitink, also appear in this volume, and are no less beautifully performed. This is one of the finest recordings of Beethoven's violin sonatas available. Most highly recommended.


title: Magical performances of J.S. Bach's violin sonatas.

text: Simply put, this Philips Duo CD set of "Bach: Complete Violin Sonatas" is brilliant in every way. In these recordings from 1979 and 1981, violinist Arthur Grumiaux and harpsichordist Christiane Jaccottet combine to play each of Johann Sebastian Bach's ten violin sonatas with incomparable artistry. Their musicianship exudes tremendous warmth and vitality, and the obviously special chemistry between them is in no way diminished by the addition of cellist Philippe Mermoud in Sonatas BWV 1021 and BWV 1023. "Bach: Complete Violin Sonatas" is one of the finest classical music recordings available. It was awarded a Rosette, and was also recognized as a Key Recording, in the "Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music 2009."  This is a very special listening experience. Most highly recommended.


title: Neville Marriner and the ASMF deliver elegant and eloquent Brandenburg Concertos and Orchestral Suites..

text:
Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concertos and Orchestral Suites have long ranked among my favorite and most often listened-to works of classical music. I own several different versions of these masterpieces on compact disc, including performances by I Musici, Boston Baroque, Consortium Musicum, and three different albums by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields (ASMF)  and Sir Neville Marriner.

Of all the different sets of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos and Orchestral Suites that  I own, this Philips Trio set by Marriner and the ASMF is clearly one of the best I've heard played on modern instruments. These three discs contain all six of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, all four Orchestral Suites, and, as a bonus of sorts, three of Bach's Violin Concertos.  All are brilliantly played with great spirit, and with the elegance, eloquence, and Baroque splendor they deserve. Tempi are ideal, more akin to what one might expect from "historically informed performances" played by ensembles like Boston Baroque and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and certainly not as slow as I Musici. These performances by the ASMF don't have that slightly abrasive timbre found in renditions played on "period" instruments;  I consider that one of this set's great strengths because it makes for a very pleasant listening experience.

Highly recommended.

title: Uplifting instrumental praise songs...

text:
To me, Jesse McGuire set the standard for National Anthem performances in the 7th game of the 2001 World Series.
His trumpet skills are extraordinary and he uses them to glorify God in this CD of traditional praise songs (McGuire is also an ordained minister).
Songs on this CD include: Oh Magnify the Lord; It Took a Miracle; How Great Thou Art; They Could Not; People Need the Lord; No One Ever Cared For Me; Jesus Loves Me; Great Is Thy Faithfulness; We Shall Behold Him; and The Lord's Prayer.
If you appreciate great trumpet playing and uplifting praise songs, you'll love this CD.


title: Pretty much a dream come true if you grew up in the 80s watching John Hughes' films.

text: Aside from some glaringly absent songs, Danke Schoen and Twist and Shout from Ferris Bueller for example, this CD collection made my year! Love it!


title: PERCEPTIONS AND DECEPTIONS...

text:
This book covers the period in the lives of two families that stretches from January 1901, the end of the Victorian era, to May 1910, the end of the Edwardian one. The lives of these two families, the Colemans and the Waterhouses, converge and become inextricably woven together when they inadvertently meet at a cemetery while paying their respects to deceased loved ones. Unbeknownst to them, their lives are moving inexorably towards a tragic denouement, one that is to have ramifications for both families.

Two of the daughters of these respective families, Lavinia Waterhouse and Maude Coleman, find that they have formed the beginning of a friendship during the brief interlude at the cemetery. The two girls also befriend Simon Field, the son of one of the gravediggers at the cemetery. The friendship of the two girls is cemented when they later discover that they are to be neighbors, as through happenstance the Waterhouse family moves onto a property adjacent to that of the Colemans. Despite differences in social class and personal taste, as the Waterhouses are definitely sentimentally bourgeois and the Colemans have pretensions to more refinement, the families are brought together, however unwillingly, through the friendship between Lavinia and Maude.

The mothers of these two girls are unable to form a true friendship, as stolid Gertrude Waterhouse and pretty Kitty Coleman are unable to find much common ground. Gertrude is bound in tradition, while Kitty, dissatisfied with her marriage and her life, is looking to escape tradition and expand the role allotted in society to women. Never the twain shall meet, as these women will never see eye-to-eye, despite the friendship between Lavinia and Maude.

This is a well-plotted novel with each character adding his or her perspective to the events that unfold, many of which are of a secretive nature. Even the husbands, Albert Waterhouse and Richard Coleman, have something to say that contributes to the development of the story, as does Richard Coleman's mother, Edith, as do the Coleman's maid, Jenny Whitby, and their cook, Dorothy Baker. Lavinia's younger sister, Ivy May, who plays a small but pivotal role, also has her say, as does Kitty's admirer, John Jackson. There are also a number of twists and turns in the tale.

The story is told in the clean, spare prose that fans of the author have come to expect. It is told through first person narratives, and it is almost as if the narratives were taken from the personal diary or journal of each character. Therein lies the rub, as the author is unable to make the voice of each character truly distinguishable from that of the others. The book suffers somewhat from the failure of the author to develop a truly unique voice for each one. This is, however, the only failing of this otherwise absorbing and intriguing story that is suffused with period detail. This is an otherwise excellent book that fans of the author will enjoy, as will those who love historical fiction.


title: GLORIANA...

text:
This is the second volume in Jean Plaidy's well-written "Queens of England" series of books. As in all the books in this series, it is written as a first person narrative, creating an intimacy of style that makes the book all the more compelling and immensely readable. Replete with fascinating period detail, political machinations, public personages, and historical events that were a part of the life of Queen Elizabeth I, the author builds a fascinating, three dimensional portrait of a woman and queen.

The author recounts the early years of Elizabeth, a troubled child, unsure of her place in the affections of her father, King Henry VIII. Knowing that he had had her mother, Anne Boleyn, beheaded, an impressionable Elizabeth observed the succession of women who took her mother's place and assessed how they fared at her father's hands.

Elizabeth lived through the reign of her younger half-brother, Edward VI, as well as that of her half-sister, Mary, during whose reign Elizabeth would come perilously close to losing her life under allegations of treason. Having survived the reign of her sister, whose legacy would forever enshrine her in history as "Bloody Mary" for her fanatical persecution of Catholics, Elizabeth would come to the throne as a Protestant with a penchant for religious tolerance towards her Catholic subjects.

The author takes the reader through the ascension of Elizabeth to the throne and her glorious reign, making the reader understand why Elizabeth I is revered as one of the greatest monarchs the world has ever known. From the early halcyon days of her reign to the more troubled ones that were to follow, the author fully engages the reader. The author also recounts the story of Elizabeth's close relationship with Robert Dudley, her Master of Horse, whom she would make the Earl of Leicester.

Through her, Dudley became one of the most powerful men in her kingdom, as Elizabeth I granted him all but his most fervent wish, which was to have her hand in marriage. This wily and scholarly Queen would not share her power with any man, not even Dudley, a man she professed to love. Nonetheless, she would have a life long relationship with Robert Dudley, and his death, while in his fifties, would mark Elizabeth I for the remainder of her long life.

The fractious relationships Elizabeth I would have with some of her courtiers are recounted, as are the ones that were more harmonious. Familial relationships, scandals, and intrigues would also have their impact, not just on Elizabeth I, but on the monarchy and the world, as well. Such is the lot of monarchs, and the reign of Elizabeth I was no different. World events and their effect on England also pepper this book, and at the center of it all was the indomitable Elizabeth I, a queen regnant who made England into a world power with which to be reckoned. Her reign would go down in history as the glorious Elizabethan era.

This is a wonderful book that those with a penchant for historical fiction will, no doubt, enjoy. Ms. Plaidy is a master storyteller, seamlessly weaving a tapestry of events and personalities that make this book one to be savored.


title: MADCAP SCREWBALL COMEDY...

text:
This is a terrific, old fashioned, madcap, screwball comedy. Deftly directed by Howard Hawkes, the pace is frenetic from the get-go and never lets up. Starring Cary Grant, as a straight-laced paleontologist, and Katherine Hepburn, as an impulsive and beautiful heiress, this film is simply about as good as comedy gets.

The plot itself is simple. David Huxley (Cary Grant), a noted paleontologist, is trying to get a philanthropical grant of money for his museum from a wealthy donor. In his quest for this charitable gift, he runs into Susan (Katherine Hepburn), who, unbeknownst to him, is the niece and prospective heiress to his potential philanthropist's fortune. Once David meets up with this madcap heiress, his life will never be the same.

The film is noted for its highly improbable situations, its rat-a-tat-tat, stacatto delivery of lines, its frenetic pacing, and impeccable comedic timing. Toss in a missing dinosaur bone, a little dog with a fondness for such, a domesticated leopard (if there is such a thing), a not so tame leopard, a great cast and script, and voila, one ends up with a great film!

Cary Grant is marvelous as David Huxley, the straight-laced, befuddled man of science who is drawn into improbable situations by Susan. Katherine Hepburn is sensational as Susan, the airhead heiress whose hair-brained ideas just lead to trouble. Of course, Susan falls for David, and the games begin. In addition to Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, the film has notable performances by Charles Ruggles, as big game hunter Major Applegate, Barry Fitzgerald as the hapless hired hand, Mr. Gogarty, and Walter Catlett, as Slocum, the criminally stupid town constable.

It is with good reason that this film made The Entertainment Weekly list of the 100 best comedies ever made. It is an assessment with which I heartily concur. This is a superlative, vintage film that is well worth having in one's personal collection. Bravo!


title: BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED HISTORICAL FICTION...

text:
This gifted author weaves a mesmerizing tale around Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer's most famous painting, creating an incandescent and luminous work of her own. His painting is a simple, though enigmatic, portrait of a girl with a pearl earring, about which little is known. The author, however, a born storyteller, creates a living, breathing story around it, using a singular, first person narrative. Told in spare, elegant prose, the author leaps into literary renown with this book.

The events in the book are viewed through the eyes of Griet, a sixteen year old Dutch girl, whose changed family circumstances force her into taking a position as a maid in the home of a renowned painter, the taciturn Johannes Vermeer. There, the painter resides with his tempestuous wife, Catharina, their brood of unruly children, his commanding and shrewd mother-in-law, Maria Thins, and their loyal housekeeper and cook, Tanneke. The author lovingly details seventeenth century life in the Dutch city of Delft. It is here that Griet's story unfolds.

Sensitive and perceptive, Griet is attuned to the under currents in the Vermeer household and, at first, takes care not to draw attention to herself. Still, she, the daughter of a tile painter, is curious about Vermeer's artistry and is drawn to his work and his methods. Vermeer, sensing a kindred artistic spirit in Griet, draws her into his world of paint, color, light, and beauty, creating an intimacy of the spirit between the two.

Still, Griet, a girl on the brink of becoming a woman, finds herself confused and breathlessly desiring more than she may have. Her longing for more than a communion of the spirit with Vermeer is palpable. It is, therefore, not surprising that the undercurrents in the Vermeer household should come bubbling to the surface and engulf Griet, much to her consternation.

This is a stunning literary work that fully realizes the promise that the author showed in her debut novel, "The Virgin Blue". She is an author that understands the less is often more, and she makes every word count. Deliberate and spare, her prose is lyrical in its simplicity, weaving a tale that will keep the reader spellbound. This is historical fiction at its finest. Bravo!


title: Absolutely Wonderful

text: Takes you on a trip to wonderful places.  I would tell you where but I think that would spoil it for you.  That would be like telling you about a movie you were going to go see.  Makes you feel like you are in control of your life, health, and happiness.  Makes my soul feel good.  My wife agrees  :)


title: YAWN

text:
I love Reznor's recent work on "the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "the Social Network" soundtracks (with Atticus Ross), but this music is boring, cookie-cutter pop contrived to be "dark" and therefore magically "creative."  It's not.  It's as if they're trying to be dark and tortured, but not TOO MUCH so as to appeal to a wide, popular-music audience.  And the creativity standard is in the toilet.  I mean, what went through their minds in the studio?  Something like, I imagine, "We need to give this song some more edge.  Where's that button that makes a sound like an evil typewriter?  Let's throw *that* in a few times!  *Then* this song will *really* be creative and dark!"  Yes, I'm being really mean.  But I expect more from Reznor, again, especially in light of the two aforementioned soundtracks that I really enjoy.

I downloaded this EP free, legally, from the band's website.  I'm really glad I did this first.  I suggest you do the same, if you still can, before wasting your money.


title: Excellent

text: The Sherlock Holmes stories are great, of course, but the reading and presentation are also very well done.  I would recommend these tapes to any Holmes fan.


title: Timeless Blessing

text:
Do not miss to get your copy of this wonderful album! I'm ending up writing a review because while listening to it again, I was curious to see if it was still for sale and found out that not many copies remain available. I have it since it came out in the 90's and it's a timeless jewel. I've listened to it over and over through the years up to now and it has been a blessing to me each time. It helped me in very difficult times, during sorrow, etc... It truly brings you peace in midst of storms and whenever you need it like after a long day.
It comes with the lyrics for every song, the songs are beautifully sang and you have verses quoted. It starts and ends with a prayer to which you can't help but say "Amen".

The Titles:
1. Wonderful Peace
2. He is our Peace
3. Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
4. Be still my soul
4. You are my hiding place

title: Excelent

text: This replaces one I had that we wore out. We use it while sleeping to block out day time noise because we work nights.


title: Bang on the drums!

text: My son has been listening to the music from the drum collection since he was born. The songs are wonderful. As he sings along, he becomes better at specific sounds needed to speak. At 3 years old, my son was speaking much more fluently then many of his classmates. I believe this CD as well as the maracas collection helped him get there.

As a family we loved "With Lee in Virginia".  My kids (4 of them from 11 yrs. down to 5 yrs, 2 boys, 2 girls) were completely enthralled and it led to some great discussions about history, faith, prejudices, truth, and the hearts of people.  We will continue to buy multiple copies of your audio productions to share with friends and family.


title: Excellent to be able to have this on CD.

text: So nice to listen to this and find it, I never knew it existed.  Previously I had to listen to this unplugged episode on Youtube only with grainy quality and poor music fidelity.


title: Great gift

text: Bought as a gift, recipient is pleased.


title: Expansive

text: Great worship. Beautifully done. For some reason the album reminds me of the songs in musicals. It has an expanding, larger than life feel to it.


title: Different, inspiring, beautiful ....enhances my life

text: This is narrative and music combined and so incredibly beautiful. It makes visible to me the majesty  and glory of God and the beauty of heaven. It inspires and relaxes me. You can go to Freddy's website and listen to samples.<br />Normally I find poetry and music an annoying combination. I like them on separate sides of the plate....just my preference but this works...they don't compete...they enrich each other


title: High-tier fusion.

text:
While the jazz-inspired style was not really repeated as much in other MBM albums, there is no reason why it shouldn't be. This is a top notch collection of jazz and electronics, and they meld nearly perfectly. Sad to see this album out of print or close to because it always deserved more attention.

There is a somewhat creepy, playful, and melodic vibe banging the walls here, and it's positively a funhouse filled with word clips, swirling piano and beats that coalesce perfectly with the standard array of jazz instruments that are quite varied from song to song.

This is definitely an easy recommendation for anybody looking for an MBM album. It's solid all the way through. If you can find it.


title: Way too long.

text:
Been a fan since the beginning, and for me Corgan and Co. can do whatever they want. I don't really complain. When it comes to criticism though, well they have a catalogue full of absolute classics all the way through Adore. Even Machina was only a couple tracks too long. After that it's been quite a mess and a hodgepodge as far as quality goes. What is reasonable to say at this point is that Corgan can no longer produce amazing pop songs much less a record of cohesive, amazing pop songs front to back. It's no different here. It reminds me a little bit of the end of REM when they were producing some great singles but mediocre albums after a run of masterpieces all the way up through Reveal. The last three REM albums remind me very much of where the Pumpkins are now.

I actually like the styling here. I love synths, so there is no problem going in that direction for me except that it seems this is more a solo effort than anything else. Outside of that I can dig the way they have mined some of the past to produce something a bit more modern. But what a bloated effort it is.

I'd say half the songs belong here, and half the songs belong on some B-Side compilation. Starrcraft, Schaudenfreud, Adrennalynne, even Ramona... These tracks are so muddied, samey, and incoherent it boggles my mind why they even were up for inclusion. Hearing that they chose the best of the best tracks, I fear the Pumpkins are now becoming GBV at this point. These tracks are ludicrously average, boring, and add nothing but length to this already long album.

The days of putting out a coherent, poetical masterpiece like Adore to measure up with past classics is long gone. There is simply no one to tell Corgan what is good and not good anymore, and he clearly doesn't care or has no grasp on these values either. Just throw them on is the name of the game these days. More content! The problem is if you want to make a double album, you need the talent to sustain such an album if you want anybody to care in a couple years. Maybe they don't care IDK.

If that is what it comes down to then you will have to excuse the reviews. This is a three star album because it has a couple great tracks and a nice tone to it, but at times Corgan's wailing vocals grate in the mix just like they did on Oceania and Monuments, and while there may not be songs as bad as the worst on those records, there are simply too many songs here to keep a vibe going. One feels like falling asleep after the first half is done.

That being said some of the better tracks resonate quite well. Cyr, Anno Satana, Wyttch, and Minerva have a lot of edge and grace. A few others follow suit. But for me these tracks should have been pushed even further, the melodies enhanced, and the tracklist made into something coherent and memorable. Instead, quite like an average GBV album, we just get a hodgepodge of randomness.

It's nice to see the boys back in the game, but I keep hoping they have some kind of magical awakening of good taste and lovely melodies like the prime Pumpkins did. Hell, even Zeitgeist has a lot of great pop songs on it. I'm just not feeling that here. Not a big deal. Just know what you are getting into when you support a rich guy's business. He does put on a stunning live show, and I think some of these songs could grow on that platform beyond the album itself.


title: A half-hearted and boring album.

text:
This is probably the nadir of Plaid's career, and it is what stopped me from following their releases. Looking back now that might be crazy. Their last three albums in 2013-2020 range have been fantastic starting with Reachy Prints into The Digging Remedy and Polymer. All three of those albums make this look like the work of lesser artists. It is what it is I guess.

You can barely even find the albums available anymore, but even their return to form in Scintilli years after this was only so good. They rewound their sound a bit and figured it out though. You can't hear any hints of that on this album. This is fairly simplistic and plodding stuff. It's not the Plaid you know, and not the Plaid they have become in the past 6 or 7 years. So don't start here. Start with Double Figure and The Digging Remedy. And go from there. That will give you an overlook of their past and present in best form. Spiral out and you'll find one of the best electronic groups making music today.


title: One of my favorite Beach House records.

text:
There is something about this one. They have an assured tone, much like the record that came after this, which was 7. You would think someone would tire from them, but I think these last few records are honestly some of their best work. It's hard to gauge how any one person would feel about a Beach House record on its own, but this one is amazingly cohesive and emotional in places.

On the charts Bloom and Depression Cherry were a bit more popular I guess, but the mastering of their sound is too apparent to pass up here. It has everything I want in a record from the band. The singing is glorious, and the music perfectly encapsulates the darker mood. Their seventh release after this also is remarkably well put together. They have definitely hit their peak you could probably say, and I'm not sure where they'd go from these last couple, but I'm not complaining either. Top form.


title: The superior remasters of The Beach Boys.

text:
What a special album. It can't be overstated how amazing The Beach Boys were in their peak. I really love some of the older classics like this one. The SACDs are AMAZING folks. You have never heard this sound minus the hissy treble apparent on most masterings. Even the HD Tracks versions don't compare. I really love how the depth of bass and warmth is brought out on these recordings. I can't say enough how much it enhances everything they represent in sound. Kevin Gray and team at Analogue Productions should be damn proud of these releases. Beautiful in every way.

I'd rank this as an easy top ten album of the boys. This one and Surfer Girls from the first barrage of albums are probably my favorites. Various hi-fi sites have these discs for about 30 bucks or so.

title: A breath of fresh air

text:
This is a lovely recording.  Andrea Bocelli's voice is tender and passionate--the beauty flows effortlessly.  His "Che Gelida Manina"  is breathtaking.  Bocelli has a touching quality that you will not find elsewhere--a purity and freedom that both move and amaze.  Bocelli brings a breath of fresh air to opera.
This "La Boheme" can hold its own against the others.  Michael Oliver in December 2000 Gramophone says that Bocelli "sings with a taste that not all tenors who have attempted Rodolfo can match..."  and  "more than earns his place...."
Donald Rosenberg of the Cleveland The Plain Dealer says  "His Rodolfo is a fully considered character of poetic flesh and blood, with lightning flashes of temperament and a world of nuances at his vocal command."
T.J. Medrek of the Boston Herald reported that Bocelli "knows how to make the arias sing with his trademark fresh sweetness and a range that includes as beautifully produced a high-C as you're likely to hear."
But don't listen to the critics or to me--listen for yourself.  This would be a great first recording for someone just beginning to experience opera.  Once you hear Andrea Bocelli you will want to hear more.  Puccini's music is beautifully written and Bocelli, Frittoli, Mehta and others bring it to life.


title: Bocelli's passion for opera creates a winner!

text:
Andrea Bocelli has been gifted with a very beautiful voice.  Of course he cannot take credit for that--we have no control over those special qualities that each of us receive at birth.  What we do with them however, to a certain extent is up to us.  At times, despite our best efforts and desires, our progress is diminished due to circumstances beyond our control.
This was the fate of young Bocelli as the lure of music drew him in, while the practicalities of life demanded that he perform a different role for a time--that of obedient son, student, and lawyer.  The inner voice would not be silent however, and Bocelli was compelled to listen, to follow.  It seems the Giver of the gift had a plan, and would not see it squelched or thwarted.  The same fate that prevented Bocelli from pursuing his gift originally, now intervened to make it possible.
What Andrea Bocelli has done with his gift in the past few years is truly remarkable.  He is not one to sit idly by and rest on his fame, but continues to work and to study, always seeking improvement.  This "Verdi" collection shows evidence of that from start to finish.  When one compares this CD with earlier offerings, it is obvious that his voice shows great improvement, continuing to deepen and mature.  If he continues on this course, it can only get better.  Regarding his preparation for this album,
"But there was one that was a challenge for me from the start. That was 'Di quella pira' from 'Il Trovatore', an aria that requires 'agilita'and 'forza' and that I always carefully avoided singing, but which was more or less a must for this album. Consequently, I had to study it, and I worked very hard."
He is not about to be intimidated by the critics or opera purists who continue to assert that he is not a legitimate tenor.  Fortunately Bocelli is not a quitter, and obstacles tend to bring out the best in him--his tenacity, persistence and determination.  Those critics who have remained open-minded are willing to give credit where credit is due.  Here is what T. J. Medrek of the Boston Herald has to say about "Verdi":
"Bocelli delivers other arias from `Rigoletto,' plus arias from `La Traviata' and `Aida' with uncommon naturalness and grace. And he's just as good in some less familiar material: arias from `I Lombardi,' `Ernani,' `Luisa Miller', `La Forza del Destino' and, especially, `Don Carlo.' In that opera's `Io la vidi,' Bocelli really proves he's more than just a pretty voice. He not only shapes the music stylishly, but also expresses the title character's lovesick confusion with just the right mix of pain and passion."
John Steane (Gramophone)  says: ". . . we have some of the best singing within this repertoire recorded in recent years. . . the solo from La Forza del Destino. . . shows well the individuality of timbre, the cleanness of style and the attentiveness to words and feeling, all of these qualities being present in a degree which clearly establishes the singer as an artist, one with a particular affinity for the Verdi line and its intensity of emotion."
Those who dislike his unique sound will probably not be swayed by this disk, some giving negative reviews without even bothering to listen to it.  Perhaps the uncertain will give it a listen and recognize the beauty here.  Those who appreciate his beautiful voice will love this recording, and most likely continue down the road of opera exploration that his enthusiasm and talent have opened up to us.
"Verdi" indicates to all that Andrea Bocelli has taken up the challenge.  He will continue to fight for his passion and he is winning this battle.  He IS an opera singer, and a very good one!


title: An Amazing Surprise

text:
I found this album recently.....two years after it's release, while I was just scouting for new music.  I've always liked certain songs by Christopher Cross........this album blows me away!  Christopher has taken a completely different approach with Take Me As I Am.  He composed and produced the album, and some of the songs are a tribute to his late friend Rob Meurer (who wrote the lyrics for River of Tears).  Also dueting with Christopher is Gigi Worth, the Canadian vocalist who also sang You Know Me Well with him.  I did not realize that Christopher's mentor through the years was Joni Mitchell.........he sings Roberta in tribute to Joni on this album.  My favorites on Take Me As I Am are the opening song Haila, and also River of Tears and Truth (with Gigi Worth).  The music itself on this album is exceptional; it mixes guitar and drums with great piano and saxophone work.  I'm picky on what I listen to, and an album has to really grab me to get my attention.  I've been officially grabbed.....and I'm not complaining!  Give this a listen!

title: Great music

text: Wonderful choice of songs!


title: The greatest album of all time

text:
Dan Polk's music won't just change your life.  It will rip a hole in the fabric of space time and have sex with your ears in an alternate quantum dimension of sonic ecstasy.

"Circadian Rhythms" both defies and defines every genre of music.  From the majestic acid rock anthem "Chapel Hill" (legendary for sparking a three day riot at the first Bonnaroo) to the roots hip hop/Queen tribute "Come Follow," which both Justin Bieber and Lil' Wayne credit with inspiring their musical careers, this album will remind you of every favorite song you've ever had -- turned up to 11, wrapped in bacon, deep fried and dusted with cocaine and crystal meth.

This is, quite simply, the greatest album of all time.

title: The best versions of KISS' live recordings available!

text:
Okay, this box set is basically Alive 1-3 and The Millennium Concert all packaged together. I am not going to go into the content of these albums or give any type of musical review. What I will do is comment on the package itself by listing what makes it unique and possibly worth the purchase.

1: Since The Millennium Concert (Disc 4) was never released as a standalone CD, this set is the only way to get an official copy (it has been released individually on vinyl). The other three albums are all available by themselves. This is a very typical KISS tactic... Getting fans to purchase the same music over & over by adding one otherwise unavailable item into the mix. In this case, I didn't mind too much because the other three albums are all improvements over previous releases (which I will touch on later). More importantly, this will quite probably end up the last band released live recording of the original lineup.

2: This version of Alive III (Disc 3) is the remastered version of the album. To my knowledge, the remastered version has not been released individually, so even if you already own Alive III but aren't happy with how it sounds, you have one more reason to get this set. Believe me, this version sounds much better than the standard Alive III release.

3: Finally, Alive! & Alive II (Discs 1 & 2) are now contained on one disc each, where they have been spread out over two up until now. While this is little more than a matter of convenience, it's still a positive as nothing has been cut to achieve it. As for sound quality, I believe this is the same mastering as the '97 remasters.

All in all, I highly recommend this set. If you don't have any of the albums, live is where KISS shines. If you want The Millennium Concert, this is your only option. Even if you own copies of the other recordings, these are (IMO) the best versions you're gonna find, which makes it just the more worthwhile.

This album is full of great music and brings back a lot of memories! I bought my original in a cut out bin when I was a teenager! My friends thought I was crazy until they heard the music!
This was bought as a gift for my son. I would put this album on and dance around with him when he was small and it helped cultivate his love of music!! The music on this album is amazing!
I am not a professional and I am not going to break down every lyric, note, and meaning of the songs. I am going to tell you that it took me back, took my son back, and it was great to listen again!
It was in great condition, no scratches, no skips! Packaged well and shipped quickly! It did arrive before Christmas!

After listening to it a couple times it really is fantastic. not only great songs and lyrics but the use of computer analog and digital concepts on this cd are even better than the newer cd's, I like the bass sound better on this album possibly due to the fact that the bass is equalized much nicer and doesn't drown out the music.  Vocals are much more interesting on this album as well, I highly recommend this cd , I have a feeling this will become one of my favorite Future Pop Cd's


Pick this up while you can grab it. Amazing Borghesia album and full of soundscapes

title: I love this sweet lil usb stick!!! :D

text: I have had this usb stick for a few years now & I still plug it in for the heck of it every now & then! I consider it more of a collectable than an album (although it is both w/ music videos & pics as well which is awesome I think but just a note even though it says usb stick you CANNOT store stuff on it! It's sole purpose is the music, videos & pics that are already on it! They have a version just like this w/o all the music & ect that is an actual usb stick you can store stuff on so if that's what you are wanting I would look for that version instead) Anyhow the box is designed to look like her Fame Monster album case which I though was a nice touch :) When I'm not using it I have it up on display on a shelf in my room because it's so cute & unique I just can't bring myself to put it away in a drawer or ect out of sight, lol. :-p I also have the born this way version of this usb stick & it's just as awesome! I really wish she made an Artpop usb stick & a Joanne one as well (there is a 'Fame' version of these usb sticks which was the 1st in the series of course but it's super rare & veryyy expensive so I sadly won't ever get the chance to add it to my collection...) *sign* /-: I'll update this review in a day or so with some pics of the usb stick so you can get a feel of what it looks like in person :) This lil usb stick has been out for around 7/8yrs now (so almost a decade! My how time flies...) so if you are thinking of adding one of these to your collection I wouldn't sleep on it for too long because it is out of print now & has been for a few years now so once it's gone it's gone! Just a warning from one fellow little monster to the next, lol! ^_*

text: I had the pleasure of listening to Yve almost every day of a recent Crystal cruise. If Ella Fitzgerald had a love child  with Harry Connick Jr, George Gershwin and Fats Waller, that child might be Yve. Expect the elegant, syncopated, and unexpected when it comes to her jazz vocals and piano skills. If you see her in person, watch out for some delightfully ribald and well delivered jokes between numbers. I also thoroughly enjoyed her presentation on Ethel Waters. What a difference an Yve makes! Love ya! Make some more CDs soon! This one was great.

title: Alaska Strings are a great family band

text:
I first heard and saw this band  at the top of Robert's Mountain in Juneau Alaska . If you ever have seen the red tram going up a mountain there , that is how you get to the theater to see where this group plays for free just about everyday during the summer . They make their money by selling CD's to the cruse boat tourist . They also tour in the lower 48 mostly during the winter . If you get a chance to hear them , you will not be disappointed .  I actually own this CD which I bought from Mellissa the bands mother .

 The music is a blend of Alaskan country , blue grass gospel . The band is comprised of a family who all play classical string instruments , and they do a great job playing and singing . If you are in charge of a bluegrass and country music festival you can be sure they would be a major hit if invited . It is the type of music that is pleasant to listen to , makes you feel good , and makes your stereo sound like a million dollars . This is pure talent on display , and done very well .

 The quality of the CD recording is close to perfection . It is amazing  how one can now set up their own recording studio almost anywhere and do as well if not better job of a music  recording that  one could get in a professional studio 20 years ago . Just look on Amazon for recording and mixing computer programs and add the mixing board that go with them . For less than $ 1000 you can get one great system and for a little over $ 2000 you can get a system that is professional in every way . This is why local music groups can get a sound worth a million dollars . This is especially true when you have a major talent fix like the Alaskan String Band .

 they have also done wonderful videos that you can see on their web site , and also get a sample of their music . If Amazon wants to get some of the smaller local music groups on their shelves to sell , this would be a good group to start .  I hope that amazon will add them to their music catalogue . if they do , I will buy  one of their other CD's

title: An Actual Product Review

text:
I've had the Covert Carrier right grip panel attached to my Beretta Tomcat INOX for about a month now and I feel ready to render an opinion.
First, the quality of the plastic grip panel is nothing close to that of the original Beretta panel, so for anyone seeking a nice match, forget it.  Beretta pistols tend to be very precisely finished and the plastic used in this panel detracts from the quality of the pistol.  The plastic also seemed to become sticky after being handled, as if the normal hand oils cause it to break down, and since I don't have particularly "moist" palms this could be a major problem for someone who does.  It seems as if a "skin" has worn off taking with it the sensation of excessive tackiness.  I wish the company had simply attached their clip to a stock Beretta grip panel because the CLIP is what makes the inferior panel tolerable.  The metal clip itself seems to be high-grade spring steel, but I doubt anyone would want to carry it with the clip exposed considering it literally screams, "look at me I'm a metal clip used to carry a pistol!" due to the name "Covert Carrier" being neatly printed along the clip.

While the Covert Carrier is advertised for IWB carry, it can also be utilized for pocket carry and I find this to be a highly convenient method when wearing jeans with their heavily reinforced pocket edges.

For anyone who wonders, the clip, mounted near the bottom of the grip on the right side, does indeed cause the Tomcat to ride at an angle due to most of the pistol's weight being "above" the clip.  For those unconcerned with being able to rapidly pull  the pistol this isn't an issue, just be aware that gravity will cause the pistol to "seek" a balance point and that point will result in the gun being canted about 45 degrees.  I use the clip to carry the pistol in my front jeans pocket and it does the job quite well.  The clip transfers the pistol's weight to the thick, reinforced pocket edge, but of course due to the cant, the barrel tends to protrude slightly toward the outside...not noticeable at all with a loose shirt extending far enough down, but an observant eye might wonder what is in the pocket that is producing the lateral bulge.  On the other hand, transferring the pistol to the LEFT pocket works with the cant and results in a much better personal sensation that the pistol is well concealed.  In practical use I've carried the Beretta in my RIGHT front jeans pocket daily without any problems.  I would not consider this a "quick draw" type carry, but it does allow one to conveniently carry the Tomcat without resorting to pouch type carry solutions.  The Tomcat "likes" the minimalist solution of the clip carry method.

The Covert Carrier will also work with rear pocket carry, or ANY pocket carry for that matter.  The advantage to having the clip over no clip is the way the weight and bulk of the pistol is handled by the clothing.  "Hanging" the pistol from a sturdy, reinforced pocket edge is far better than having a pound of steel and aluminum sagging at the bottom of the pocket.  So in that regard the Covert Carrier is a worthwhile investment and addition to the Tomcat.

Probably the ideal "clip type" carrier would be an entire right grip panel machined from billet aluminum with a spring-steel clip attached just below slide level, but that would probably be a bit pricier than the average person wants to pay.
All in all the Covert Carrier does a credible job of adding another "solution" to the carry options choice.  Having the clip mounted means I usually use it for simple pocket carry, and at the end of the day THAT is the real testament to whether it's worth the money, so I'd say it definitely is.
I'd like to see the company sell a matched pair of grip panels, of higher quality because asthetics IS important.
My rating is based on the sheer usability factor of the clip grip, with one star minus because of the inferior quality, mis-matched grip panel.[[ASIN:B0010LMYKW Covert Carrier Beretta Tomcat Bobcat Holster Alt]]

These meditations, Anita's first book, and the music from these meditations mean more to me than I have words for. As well as Anita's website and her emails. I have already reviewed the music. I have postponed this review and 'Dying To Be Me' review because I have been overwhelmed with their meaning for me. I have listened to all the meditations many times. They are my gift to myself some time during the day. Even if it is only one. Sometimes it is all of them. As someone who has been told many times that I'm not worthy of love without measuring up to their artificial standards, I drink in her words like the desert sands I grew up with drink in a spring rain.

I hear love in her voice. And hope and encouragement in her words. I doubt that I'm the only person who has had this experience. I am grateful for these meditations. For me, they are a tether to sanity.

title: Love it!

text: I bought this CD soon after visiting Maui with my husband.  We had purchased two Hawaiian music CD's while in Hawaii and we much prefer to listen to "Just relax Maui" because it so beautifully captures the feel of the island.  When we want to immediately de-stress we put on this CD (especially the first song "Kahana Shores") and we're back in Maui feeling the ocean breeze, the blue sky, the swaying palms, and the laid-back atmosphere. The composer certainly did a wonderful job! Thank-you!

I would like to start by saying that I did not get this CD from amazon, I got it from discogs.com, but I felt like I needed to write this review. This CD is amazing. The acoustic piano version of Love Song is better than the original. I love this CD.

title: There's Something Wrong with this Album

text: I really didn't like this particular album from Amiee, and the song King of the Jailhouse is probably the worst song on here as she sings "there's something wrong with me" over and over again. I found this album generally boring and repetitive. A song of interest is Little Bombs. The albums Lost in Space and Smilers are much more interesting than this one. The albums Charmer and Bachelor #2 are also quite good.


title: Maroon 5 Is Music for the More Mature Audience

text: Maroon 5 has some interesting music and there is talent within the group, but they are known to be in a word...naughty.  I do feel this group is better suited for a more mature audience and that is something to keep in mind with this band if there are concerns about content.

text: Love George Strait!  Just had to buy a copy of his last performance, and it's just great!  Has both the cd's & dvd.


title: History Revisited as Fresh Drama

text:
The British monarchy is an anachronism.  How in a modern society can we reconcile birth right privilege with progress and democracy?  The two should be mutually antagonistic.  In the long run, the monarchy will first be cast off by nations such as Canada and Australia.  In due course, its days will be numbered even in England.  Yet, in spite of its very anachronistic nature, it continues to draw breath.

The film, "The Queen" covers the events following the death of Princess Diana.  We are given an opportunity to look inside both the royal household and within 10 Downing Street.  It was the royal household that could not understand the outpouring of public grief over Diana's death.  It was Tony Blair that dragged the Queen reluctantly into an understanding of this grief.  I must admit that, at the time and still to this day, I cannot myself understand why so many people fell for Diana.  She was an intellectual lightweight who could be moody and self-indulgent.  Her end should have been little more than a historical footnote.  The fact that it wasn't is the real conundrum.

Helen Mirren is brilliant as the Queen.  She is totally plausible.  Indeed, the whole cast is quite stunning.  The cast allows the events to unfold while the viewer is swept along for the ride.  And a great ride it is!  Anyone over the age of twenty should be able to recall the events surrounding the death of Diana.  However, at no time is the film stale.  It is tense drama at its best!  I can thoroughly recommend this film.


title: Right Versus Wrong

text:
At the outset and to be blunt, the McCarthy era in America was a stain upon America's broader constitutional morality.  It was a time when careers and lives could be ruined by innuendo.  It was a time when the process of law was strained to breaking point.  America, however, is a stronger country for having ultimately withstood this era of witch hunts.

"Good Night and Good Luck" covers the work of Edmund R Murrow and Fred Friendly as they bravely stood up against Joseph McCarthy.  They both believed in the rule of law rather than trial by media and hearsay.  Both these gentlemen are true American heroes.  In contrast, McCarthy was little more than a muckraker who, in the fullness of time, was shown as little more than a bigot.

Shot entirely in black and white with George Clooney playing Friendly and David Strathairn playing Murrow, "Good Night and Good Luck" shows that Hollywood can still create significant films without having to resort to special effects.  The film is languid in its style and covers the flavour of the 1950s with great realism.  If colour had been used, I'm sure that the film would have had less impact.  Yet, for all its simplicity of style, the film is clever in that it uses Senator McCarthy playing himself by interspersing archival footage within the film.  This happens in a seamless manner and the film loses nothing from it.  In fact, the film gains credibility.

"Good Night and Good Luck" is probably best enjoyed by students of American history.  However, the film has a real story to tell.  It is a story that is told to great effect and should be viewed by all.


title: A wonderful memory that we now share with our kids.

text: My parents played this lp record every Christmas morning while we unwrapped our presents.<br />I was very glad I could find it and now we play it for our kids every Christmas.


title: Five Stars

text: nice item great fair price great songs I would recommend


title: Recording Quality and Archive Format are Issues

text: I love these radio shows, and the opportunity to own them.  I became familiar with the CBS Radio Mystery Theater while driving in the late '70s.  Unfortunately, the recording quality is marginal (at best), and you have to listen very carefully.  The collection comes in MP3 format, which is great for space saving, but makes it much more difficult to stop after one episode, and then re-start where you left off at some later time.

title: Highly recommend this CD set

text:
Yes, I know that there are some concerns about Kevin Trudeau's reputation. Prior to listening to this set I had my own reservations about him. But this set is the real deal. Yes, you can get this information elsewhere, but not in a concise, well thought out format. Here, in a nutshell, is the Law of Attraction (LOA), explained and laid out with easy to follow steps. For me, this set is what I have been looking for, indeed, attracted into my life because of my desire to find more information. I have read many books on the LOA before this, some of the best in fact (nearly all of the Abraham-Hicks books), but I still had difficulty in applying the LOA in a consistent manner. There were still things that I didn't know. This collection spells it all out, simply and clearly. Another reviewer said that the CDs should be abridged. I disagree. The delivery technique used is designed to ingrain the information into your mind. Repetition is very important. Abridging the material would make it less effective. In the lecture Kevin insists that you listen to the set again and again. So far I have listened to the entire set nearly 9 times. Every time my enthusiasm increases. And even after 9 times, I still hear new information that I didn't notice before, and I listen carefully.

I paid $200 for the download from Trudeau's website. I think it was a steal. This information is worth much more than what I paid. These CDs are invaluable. If I'd had this set first, before buying the other material on the subject, I would have saved myself a bundle. But then I don't regret the money I've spent on my research. My willingness to accept change is high. The results I've had so far are well worth what I've spent.

As for Kevin Trudeau's run in with the federal government - that is not a negative in my book. There is much information that has been suppressed by the federal government that is highly beneficial to it's citizenry and yet is not made available. Example - I know of cures for cancer (I mean first hand experience) that are not allowed to be sold because they compete directly with the drug companies that are in the pocket of the FDA (or is it the other way around?). One such instance is of a botanical, natural cure for skin cancers. The owner of the lab that makes salve has been persecuted by the FBI and the FDA. The problem? The product WORKS, as advertised. But it comes from a natural source and cannot be patented. The entire operation had to move to Ecuador, but even then the FDA sought to extradite the owner. Fortunately the product is available to those who know about it, but the information is suppressed. I do not encourage anyone to break the law, but when we are no longer permitted to make our own decisions about how we conduct our lives, then there is something wrong with our system of government. Kevin Trudeau knows this. Is it no wonder then, that he has run-ins with the government?

After reading some of the the other reviews I am reminded that there is something of a drawback to the series and that is the last CD, #14. It is a major sell of the Global Information Network. I am not a member and I don't know if I will become one, but this last disk is full of the benefits of joining the GIN, repeated again and again. Now Kevin has every right to include this disk and after all he is out to make money. But aren't we all?? When I listen to the series I don't include this disk. I think that the first time I listened to the entire series and I got to that last disk, I realized what it was and did not finish listening to it. The set is still a gem. Just don't listen to the last one if you don't like hard sell.

I have seen results from applying the LOA, more quickly than I have in the past. This set is a fabulous tool for self improvement.

text: great


title: Yes

text: Fannnntastic.  Well worth the buy.


title: not what we anticipated

text: Purchased it after seeing the short video that uses one of the songs as background  music.  Sadly, there are only a couple other songs that we enjoyed on this album.  His music works better as emotional background music than for casual listening.

title: Great Performances but overly noisy fans, as always

text: I love hearing the Fab Four rocking, especially the Greatest Rocker....Ringo Starr!<br />The noise here is found  overbearing as other live concerts. Overall sound is medium poor.


title: Top notch rocking!

text: I love Bob Dylan and The Band! What a set with nearly 3 full shows with better than average sound quality.


title: Justin Hayward is better than ever!

text:
Spiritslive: Clear and most beautiful! Enjoy Justin's great guitar & vocals as they are recorded beautifully and clears as possible.

The mostly acoustic set here reveals much hidden beauty of many Moody Blues gems. In addition, there are many classic songs from Spirits of the Western Sky.


title: European release not a bootleg!

text:
The Band with Richard Manuel!
I presumed this title was a bootleg but was very pleased to hear the studio quality.
It's nice to hear The Band stretch out on some tunes not normally done with Robbie Robertson plus some good cover songs.
Richard Manuel's voice is in decent shape here and in better condition than their pre Last Waltz tour of 1976.
If you have everything else The Band has officially released and are still not satisfied here is a good double set of live music.


title: Greatest singer ever

text: Many great songs by Olivia Newton-John.


title: Great Price Quick Delivery

text: Nothing to dislike


title: OLGA EN MEXICO: caveat emptor

text: This, alongside of OLGA GUILLOT Y LAS CANCIONES DE MARÍA GREVER are the best representations of Ms Guillot's ability to handle any composition placed in her hands not just the romantic ballads that crowned her the Queen of the Bolero. So it continues to baffle me that her efforts on the Panart/Musart labels are transferred to cd's without any care or consideration whatsoever. The Canadian company that released this disc saw a quick buck to be made and it needs to be called out because there is absolutely no reason for this recording to be as bad as this, especially with all of the technological advances available. I wanted to give it 0 stars but as I wrote earlier this is a must have recording of Ms Guillot's if you cherish and appreciate quality singing we may never hear again. It's a pity that all that mattered to the Uniko Company was to capitalize on Olga Guillot's name and charge consumers $20 for this shoddy piece of work.


title: The legendary Mr James

text: Bought this as a gift for my friend Bianca. She'd never heard of him though her legitimate excuse besides her age is cultural--she was born and raised in Sao Paolo. You wanted to get people to shake their asses at Peter Rabbit, the Barefoot Boy or the legendary Garage in SoHo, you put ANYTHING by Sylvester on but it wasn't a mighty real tribute unless DANCE WITH ME IN THE DISCO HEAT pumped out of the gargantuan Bose speakers suspended from the ceilings. Other great tracks: "Mighty Real", "I Need You" and a poignant way to close the disc with the Patti LaBelle classic, "You Are My Friend". I'd met him twice back in the day when celebrities didn't let their status go to their heads and he was as warm, intelligent and unassumingly fierce as I imagined him to be. God bless you, Mr James.


title: Sabor a mi

text:
Finally, the classic tribute to María Grever in pristeen stereo with an additional recording from the Musart catalogue that continues to confirm Ms Guillot's status as La Reina del Bolero.

All I can say about Olga Guillot and the many minds and hearts she continues to touch is "La gloria eres tu".


title: MARY WELLS--AT LAST IN TRUE STEREO!

text: Ms Wells's greatest hits compilation FINALLY released in true stereo and superbly mastered, especially OPERATOR,  the B side to her big hit TWO LOVERS. It is such a disappointment to me that the best recordings of such legendary performers as Ms Wells are only available as imports but they are nonetheless available. Good, good music that bring back fond memories of my teen years when Motown was at its best and Mary Wells ruled the roost.


title: La Reina del Bolero

text: TU ME ACOSTUMBRASTES is one of the perfect representations of Ms Guillot when she was at her peak with the Panart/Musart label.  She easily breezes through the ballads on this disc but the stand out is the title song.  I don't necessarily like comparisons but if you place her rendition of the Frank Dominguez ballad with the equally talented Lucho Gatica's you'll hear how this song has become a timeless classic.  I highly recommend this disc not only because it is yet another must have, especially if you are as devoted to Ms Guillot as I am but also the mastering of this compilation is very, very good.  The only caveat I have to this cd is that the track listing on the insert is completely wrong and one has to listen to each song to place them in their proper sequence. But I applaud the company for making every effort to master this disc correctly--something that was not accomplished in her tribute to Maria Grever.


title: Bitter disappointment.

text: I have owned a vinyl copy of this disc for the past 30 years.  It is monophonic and I know for a fact that Panart, the label, also issued it in stereo but it is an elusive product.  Thinking that the brilliant disc was finally available in stereophonic sound when issued on compact disc I ordered it.  There was absolutely no care given to the beautiful artwork, the back cover information on the jacket was omitted and the sound quality is horrid.  I purchased a Numark digital turntable and transferred my copy of the album to a compact disc and in spite of an occasional click here and there the sound is a vast improvement over this shoddy representation over the magic that Ms Olga Guillot created with her interpretations of the music composed by the equally gifted Maria Grever.  I heard from a store owner that the complete set of Panart masters was purchased by some big conglomerate in Florida some years ago.  Hopefully they will come to their senses and release Ms Guillot's entire catalogue when she recorded for them and their Musart subsidiary.  Until then, I'll be quite content burning my own copies.  Save your money.


title: Taemin ACE ❤

text: ❤ Amazing


title: I've listened to many.....

text: Lifescapes (big fan of the series) and various relaxing CDs, this is my favorite by far, I can even say being a fan of Kavin Hoo this is by far his best work (in my opinion).


title: Lovely music

text: Along with Parry one of my favorite composers. I enjoy Elgar's finesse and the flow of his music. Good for mood or relaxing.


title: Four Stars

text: Glad I made the purchase. Condition is great. Thanks for the honest description : )


title: Exelente

text: El production llego en buen estado sin ningún golpe y esta hermoso ya hera el que buscaba....


title: Great music!

text: Product arrived as advertised; w/o damage. Longtime Wilco fan, this is a beautiful album! Enjoy!


title: good cd

text: I do like this album, the more I listen to it the more I like.  The saxophone and keyboards in some of the songs I think are very good. Something a little different from John.


title: Great but doesn't include Seminole Wind.

text: I guess it's an early "greatest hits" album, because it doesn't include Seminole Wind.  Other than that, though, all the songs are great, one of his best collections.


title: a pleasant surprise

text:
There is a negative review in Italian posted here (I don’t get why since my reviews to Amazon France in English are always rejected) and its criticism, that  the set consists of repetitions of the same piece, is correct.

That said, there are very few singers from that era for whom “a complete set” WOULDN’T be repetitive, such were the economics of the time. The only exceptions I can think of are Caruso, Ruffo, and Battistini, and of course each of those had their repeat versions as well. In fact the same could be said of modern singers, except in the case of someone like Domingo, his “complete set” would include lots of complete operas.

SO, with that out of the way, let me consider the set. First of all it is not what I expected, I had heard it was vastly inferior to reissues from prestige brands like Romophone or Marston, that speeds would be a mix for example.

I don’t have the exquisite ear of someone like Marston but all the recordings are quite listenable from the speed perspective.

The set tells an unhappy story. Destinn’s voice clearly declined as the recording technology improved. That her recordings don’t quite live up her to legend, is true, and this becomes more obvious as one moves through the set and is most pronounced in her most famous recordings in the USA, the Victors. Her bottom has collapsed and is hoarse.

But her earlier recordings up to and including her Columbia’s include some great renditions, especially the excerpts from Aida, and they are quite enjoyable, if acoustically one dimensional.

One can’t appreciate her voice the way one would marvel at Caruso’s, for example, but one CAN enjoy it and taste the Golden Age of opera singing, and hear a bit of what the fuss was about.


title: an under-appreciated artist

text:
Not every track on this disk is "a winner", the first for example emphasizes Kabaivanska's unraveling of her vibrato such that her unfocused sound gives less pleasure than when it was in its vinegary prime.

But this singer is extraordinary, to call her a swiss army knife amongst sopranos would to underrate the glory of some of her interpretations. This is a very good, though not necessarily the best, collection of her work. If you doubt me listen to her interpretation of Madama Butterfly (any recording basically) or Elizabeth De Valois. Wow.


title: great set

text:
I purchased this via Amazon France the price was cheapest at that moment or seemed to be, doesn't matter since the item appears isposted from Korea!

This box appears to be a set designed for the Korean market, Korean translations are everywhere but not visible so inot "weird".

I was initially critical of its presentation, the box was extremely tight at first, tight enough to be a problem. It has loosened up without tearing so that is good. Another review on Amazon Germany mentioned precisely the same problem!

The individual discs are stored in as-nice-as-can-be replicas of the original jackets. I cannot comment on how closely the discs parallel the original issues or the masters used. The sound in all cases sounds as fine as is possible, is all I can say.

Milstein is interesting, largely forgotten by the general public (all it remembers is "Heifetz"), but on the evidence of this box, he had with Heifetz and Perlman, the largest stable of successful recordings of any violinist. The only other large box set of a violinist is Menuhin's, which is a compendium of many sources not just studio recordings and not just successful ones from his artistic peak. There may have been a Stern set at one time but it is no longer available. There has been no set that includes all or most of  Oistrakh's recordings though he cries out for one

In contrast, this box doesn't have any discernable "stage" showing decline or even development. Every recording is perfect from any perspective. Progressive recordings of various great works may improve in aspects of their engineering but Milstein's playing is consistently stunning, beyond stunning.

I PERSONALLY find Mistein to be the "anti-Heifetz", an Auer pupil who preserved a warmth and sense of style his fellow student Mischa Elman had, and which Heifetz seems to have consciously purged his playing of. I have heard many recordings of Milstein, the ones that first captured my attention were his Columbias of baroque pieces. His adoption of those pieces in his repertoire was a big deal at the time and I find the same emotional depth in them that I would expect from a student of Enescu (for example) like Haendel. They are not included in this set but his virtues didn't change or diminish.

If you accept my characterization of Milstein Heifetz and Perlman as the only violinists with large "name-brand" sets devoted to their work, Milstein's box is an easy and mandatory choice, especially for people like myself who can't take Heifetz.

Getting past the easy characterization of Milstein as "immortal", and drilling down to details, I was struck how beautifully he played different styles of music, even across the great concertos, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Beethoven, etc. Each sounds so "right" to me there isn't a moment when I longed to hear another favorite player. The same goes for the second tier concertos like the Saint-Saens.

I have to say, I did not expect to enjoy this set as much as I did, I bought it because I thought it was "required listening". A lovely set. It probably will become with the Callas "red box" and Horowitz Original Jacket, one of my most treasured boxed sets.


title: staggering

text: Amazing, like all the recordings of Martinelli singing Otello.


title: not much here

text: odds and ends, I got it just to have the whole set


title: This is a great CD...........

text: The music made my Heart feel good!!!


title: Better than expected.

text: Great collection of music they made popular and who they were. Excellent Sound Quality


title: Disappointing!

text: Doesn't sound any better than the cheapo soundtrack CDversions out there. Definitely lacks depth and clarity. If I had a time machine I would go back and cancel my order.


title: It's one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

text: [[VIDEOID:9acddb8e1c7b996897e55a6a2cb0b2a]] It's funny and it's sad, as was Charlie Chaplin, The Honeymooners and many other great comedic premises, but this is funny in a way like nothing before it.  Definitely an accredit taste and the audio quality is sketchy, at best, but the material is incredulously incredible, even after hearing it 20 times. Strictly for the connoisseur of practical comedy and audio verite.


title: Buy it.

text: Great album came packaged really well.


title: Super Love IU

text: IU is really good. Everyone knows that she is good at singing, but you can't estimate that she is as good as acting in a TV series. You must buy this original soundtrack.


title: Very good

text: Not easy to find this one on the market .


title: Edifying

text: Fernando Ortega music is from the scriptures. I can listen to this cd over and over.


title: Used Good Condition...NOT GOOD BUT HORRIBLE

text: The seller sent the product earlier than anticipated, which was great.  Unfortunately, when we cleaned the CD as we do all used CD's this one was a mess.  It was not in good condition at all.  In fact, after looking at it there were so many scratches that the CD didn't play all the songs.  Super bummed.


title: Stunning Voice

text: There is no voice like Sylvia McNair's. Completely stunning. I'd buy every one of her albums.


title: Oasis, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Ride were on this record label, the focus of Upside Down

text: I actually found out about this documentary from Netflix.  I had no idea that Creation Records was the label behind some of my fave British rock bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain, Oasis, Ride, The House of Love, etc.  If you like those bands or are into 1980s/1990s British post punk music, you'll enjoy watching this historical rock documentary. If you like the film 24 Hour Party People about Factory Records (New Order, Joy Division, Charlatans), you'll enjoy Upside Down too.


title: Pure Christmas Serenity! Brilliance that's innovative yet audibly "Classic "

text: Tis the season! Jackson Caesar : I highly recommend this classic work of Christmas serenity for your holiday listening pleasure. A multicultural masterpiece of vocal proficiency that's rich, and mellifluous sounding. Jackson Caesar's artistry coupled with rich tenor vocals and his sensitivity in performing, interpreting, & creatively adding his melodic signature in the musical phrasing of these timeless Christmas & Holiday classics are unique and dynamic!  A MUST HAVE!


title: WARNING: PLACE ORDERS HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK VENDOR DELIVERY ISSUES FEBRUARY 2014

text:
It troubles me to place such a rating as I have been an Amazon Customer for several years and haven't ever had to do such. Yet? In all earnestness to other online shoppers here at Amazon I feel obligated to inform you that the third party merchant/vendor offering product T THIA site is 100% QUESTIONABLE. I placed an order here direct for the product CD listed God's Trombones & Sounds Of Praise now well over (3) weeks ago! I never received a initial direct merchandise order invoice from this third party vendor/ merchant acknowledging my initial order placed not once! I contacted the seller after the fourth day the order was placed, and to my astonishment they have never from that day, to this day, replied or contacted me back as to my inquiry! The only acknowledgement I initially ever received was directly from Amazon.com that the order was placed, and I was charged for it. I have since that time had to contact Amazon Customer Service over (3) times just to follow this order up! On this site, they advertise and list as having this item in stock, [and only (1) at that!] Amazon has directly contacted them also now (3) times over With NO answers, responses, or replies from this third party merchant! It's unfortunate as I really enjoy this type of music. Which is, and was my reasoning for ordering this product! I in good faith even went through a fourth party by using the search engine Google coming across an individual whom identified themselves as this group's management. Upon reaching them I explained my concerns, and expressed my admiration of this type of music. Inquiring directly to them as how to contact them about the order, and was assured by their management that they would make a call to resolve the issue, that was over (5) days ago with (4) phone calls and (2) direct calls speaking with their management for reassurance! This is troubling to me! I have since once again reported this to Amazon.COM whom now have filed an A-to-Z Guarantee Claim because the item listed with details which appears to be  misrepresenting. It doesn't help that the order was placed in the same local state area of North Carolina. Only a 2 hour difference distance between the order placed and the store front merchant/ vendor site offering this product! I have also discovered that the 3rd party merchant offering this product has "NO" direct public contact information or phone number listed at their Amazon Store front office for customers to contact them direct. Even Amazon doesn't have any of this information either I  have now since discovered! All be this a great project? Why even offer the product for sale if it's not available, nor a worker accessible to maintain and process orders made at this site in a professional, and timely manner?

*BE FOREWARNED"  I WOULD ABSOLUTELY AT THIS TIME. NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE PLACE AN ORDER HERE! BE ADVISED. THIS THIRD PARTY MERCHANT VENDOR IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY AMAZON FOR THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES CURRENTLY!

title: For one song

text: Bought this for one song only and realized that most of my favorites are on this cd


title: A good quality CD ... at last!

text: I originally got this recording in 1984 or 85 on cassette; By the 2000s the cassette was beginning to wear, so I digitized it for my personal spiritual use.  For so long no CD was available, so I was delighted to see this available.  I still have the original cassette, as well as many in Old Church Slavonic; the sung prayer of this liturgy lifts my soul to celestial heights.  Sublime recording.


title: relaxing beautiful upbeat elevator music from the past

text: I preferred Beyond the Sea but this is almost as good. I love his sweeping orchestral sound. It's lush and it reminds me of a more gracious upbeat era from the past. Relaxing easy listening music that makes you feel good. I don't like the vocal pieces that much because the music is dated but love the orchestral pieces.


title: Magical!!!!

text: Took a bit to get here but worth the wait.. my first Faun cd but oh so beautiful music.. I cant understand everything of what they are singing but its magical enough that I dont care... if you love Wardruna and Heilung you will love Faun!


title: UGH

text: I got a Heavy D and the Boyz cd and i was mad.


title: Best Personal Coach Ever

text: I use with an elliptical and Sean provides the motivation to push thru the entire volume with the freedom to determinbe my own levels of effort by adjusting my speed & resistance settings.  By the end of the volume, I've achieved a high intensity workout for a maximum calorie burn.


title: Not really the best collection of music

text:
I really love this genre, but a lot of the songs are actually annoying. The first track is great, then the others are just so-so are kind of awful. Just my opinion.

(It's really not the same genre, but if you're looking for a nice, easy-listening French collection, try Acoustic France by Putumayo.)

title: Good Disc

text: Good Disc, Did not realize this was Scott Miller and the Commonwealth's old band. Would recommend if you like alternative country. XM Radio X Country R.I.P.


title: A Satisfying Listen

text: Scott James Hybl (rhymes with 'Bible') is the composer of two early Christian musicals, and three albums; In The Mirror is his latest and last.  Carefully considered and crafted lyrics, top musicians, and several styles from rockers to ballads, this album won't disappoint.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this music and it was soooo cool that it came direct from Russia...I saved the post wrapper ;-)


title: Just an excellent album.

text: I still listen to this album quite a bit.  I worked with two of the band members, and one of them gave me a few cds and a demo tape.  I can tell you that this album is creative, innovative, fun, and just great 90s rock.  It's made an enormous impact on my life.  Thanks, Paul G.  Mike.

title: Five Stars

text: GREAT!


title: Not as described

text: Product said new, came early, not sealed, and not new. The cover had a bunch of indents from someone writing on it. Very disappointing.<br />Gave 2 stars because the CD wasn’t scratched too bad. My nephew didn’t care all the tracks played for him ok.


title: Much ado about nothing

text: The first CD is a rehash of the theoretical info you can find George Quant talking about on YouTube in multiple interviews and presentations. Second CD is a kind of a pep talk about how you should take a neutral attitude to the meditation and do it as often as you can. Third CD is a guided meditation using the generic mantra, Shongnamah.


title: A super sweet listen

text: A super sweet listen. This album has it all, strong songs and creative, nuanced production. Everything from backing vocals to horns, strings and distortion on some guitar tracks.  But well mixed and wreaking of good taste and smooth vibes. The songs, Carmen, Suzanne and Hurricane could all be singles. Its' on my top 10 list for the year.

title: Great book but be careful with the edition!

text: This book is great if you are learning to read music at first sight and it also helps you as an introduction to sing opera. Some editions have mistakes so try to compare the lessons with another book before you study them.


Amazing series! This has really helped change our lives. I hate that I did not get the free hour coaching because I bought it used but that is how I could afford it. It was worth it!


title: LOVED IT

text: It arrived in good condition, thank you


title: Good experience!

text: Great CD, perfect condition and quick well-packaged shipping - Amazing!  Very happy!


title: Stunningly beautiful boys choir

text: I hear the boy's choir from Escolania de Monserrat at St. Thomas Church in New York City.  They were so remarkable I was delighted to find this one album.  It does not disappoint.  I wish there were others.
