title: You need this set

text: If you liked Sony’s Bernstein sets, getting this set is a no-brainer. It provides the answers to the question “What would Bernstein have done with (fill in the blank) had he ever recorded it?”  Previn fills those gaps in a way that is completely satisfying, making his set a perfect compliment to LB’s. But it is, of course, much more than that.  I have often thought that Previn’s greatest gift was bringing previously overlooked works into the classical mainstream. Nobody was paying much attention to the Rachmaninov symphonies or Walton’s first symphony until his recordings came out. After that everyone was recording them, but Previn’s originals set benchmarks that still stand to this day.  His Vaughan Williams recordings are also treasurable and have stood the test of time as well. Add to them the various chamber and solo piano recordings and you have a voyage of exploration that is well worth the effort. Finally, I find the recording quality to be excellent. I assume that the recordings have been remastered from earlier attempts; I had a previous incarnation of VW’s 3rd and was disappointed when the sound quality was nothing like the vinyl recording I had grown up with. Now the lush richness is back and I am eternally grateful. Enjoy!


title: Great Album

text: Classic Buck Owens.  The only song that didn't fit was Johnny B. Goode.  Not sure why that one is on the cd because it's rock and roll not country.  The rest are all true to his genre with the instrumentals classic country.  For me whether I like country comes down to the instrumentals.  Today the country rock buries the joy of classic country under a screaming mountain of instrumental (supposed) backdrop music with head pounding drums, or worse----much worse, synthesized beat, and loud guitars.  The classic country flow that resonates and identifies classic country is gone.  Except for Johnny B. Goode, Buck sticks to the acoustic guitar and delivers true classic style country music and I appreciate and respect him for that.  I recommend this album.


title: Fun to Listen To

text:
What can I say.  I'm having a great trip down memory lane with Buck Owens.  I got re-interested when as a late comer to the Dwight Yokum fan club I realized he covered many of Buck Owens' music, and even had a close friendship with him in spite of their generational difference.  Dwight did such a good modern job of covering Buck without disrespecting the original artist, that I decided to go back and listen to the the original master.  I couldn't be happier.  Way back in the day, I was a huge fan of Buck's, but some how he got buried in the outlaw guys----Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Bobby Bare, et.

It's been fun to go down memory lane and this 2 cd collection hits all the memorable ones plus a few I don't remember.  The recording is clear and high quality and it's great to listen to the older artists, each with such distinctive styles.  Easy to recognize.  With today's music, what with the overwhelming beat and deafening background (???) music, the artists all start to sound the same.  But there's no mistaking Buck.  One of a kind, as is Cash, Haggard, Waylon.  I miss that and it's been fun to recapture it in this cd set.


title: I'm In Love With This CD

text: I love every opera aria on this cd.  Each piece is beautiful and full of emotion and passion.  Lucy Kay is such a talented lady with the most beautiful voice to listen to.  Usually there are a few songs I love and several that are just okay.  But I listen to each of these over and over again.  Not everybody responds to opera but for me it is perfect music.  The voice has to be perfectly clear with no "air", no strain (which is in every musical piece in popular music today).  I'm afraid we've lost what true musical talent is; what a quality voice even sounds like.  Today is so much shouting and over-strained notes that the quality of the voice is buried. So many people won't recognize it because it's all they'er exposed to now.  Lucy Kay is such a fresh and refreshing tone of strong quality and I'm so grateful to have found this cd.  It came from England in a very timely fashion.  The company was excellent about keeping me informed of the shipping and progress of the order which was exceptionally fast.  I ordered from ridgeback through Amazon.


title: No list of songs on the cd

text: I'm rating this three stars because there are no song titles listed.  I've heard the singer on Youtube, so I know he has a beautiful voice and on Youtube the music accompaniment is soft and nice.  But I won't buy any cd without knowing what songs I'm getting and what the style for the album being sold is.  Beauty is in the ear of the listener and it hurts the bottom line when a buyer doesn't know the names of the recordings (and having a sample available would be even better.  Sorry.........


title: Need way more info

text: Agree with the above post.  I'd love to buy some cd's but need to know how many songs and of what genre they are.  I love this duo and everything I've heard on Youtube is 5 star.  I'm sure you're losing sales by not having enough info.


title: very nice

text: This is very pleasant and nice music to listen to.  We like it also because it has a melody and not just drum beats and same tune over and over.


title: personal favorite

text: It's a classic album and very rare peace. One of the greatest songs of all time. He is a God of music.


title: Great 70s/80s Music

text:
This is great music from Supertramp. Although most of the tracks were released in the late 70s, I imagine most people actually heard them on the air during the very early 80s. This is one of the great groups from that era and this album is a very good "greatest hits" compilation. If I had to compare it to classical music, I would say it is Gershwin made modern. Good stuff!
Many people will recognize the (mostly) upbeat catchy tunes "Logical Song", "Breakfast in America", "Take the Long Way Home", "Dreamer" and even "Bloody Well Right" and an always-look-up "It's Raining Again". The laid back song "Hide in Your Shell" is a sleeper that should not be skipped over.
The last two ("It's Raining Again" and "Cannonball") are actually almost another era of the group's work, and it shows. For popularity, it may have been necessary to add "It's Raining Again", but it might have been much better to remove "Cannonball" from the lineup.
Overall, a good collection of songs from an impressive group, and at a price that you cannot beat.

title: West African Sacred Chants and Cuban Jazz - You Betcha !

text: This music grows on you...and I am not particularly a fan of some forms of modern jazz. However the African drums and West African singing actually merge with the acoustic jazz to offer a truly original sound.  This is the album to listen to when you want something distinctly different from traditional Latin Jazz.  Enjoyed it in my car.  Recommended

text: For me it wouldn't be Christmas without a Bing Crosby CD.  I have many others but I chose this one because it has one of my favorite songs, The Secret of Christmas.  A great buy.

title: Unauthorized release - STAY AWAY - sourced from vinyl

text:
**Alert** - this is at best a gray area, unauthorized release. It is a product of somewhere in Europe and they've either ignored or skirted around copyright laws. In any event, these recordings are all sourced from vinyl records, NOT any kind of master tapes.

Granadilla Music, the alleged label for this release, is known for producing unauthorized releases. Just look up the label on discogs dot com. And like many bootleg releases from around the world, this one's full of misspelled words and other anomalies. Let me list them:

The face of the CD label has the artist correct, and the first album title correct, but when it comes to the second album, all that's there is "Poppy". They missed the word "Seeds".

The third track title is misspelled on both the CD label and the back insert as "Beyound The Clouds",

The back of the front insert has a recreation of the first album's liner notes, and instead of the correct title, it repeatedly calls it "WHICH WAY YOU COIN' BILLY?"

Now, to the sound. As this is sourced from vinyl albums, there are a number of telltale signs, like splashy "S" sounds, muffled tracks, surface noise, and occasional pops and ticks. It's really no better than an average person can do with a semi-decent turntable, copies of the albums, and some software for mastering to CD. I myself have already preserved these two albums to CD-R and my copy sounds quite a bit better.

I do not recommend this to anyone - but you know there'd be a "however". However, if you've searched high and low for the vinyl - and POPPY SEEDS can be devilishly hard to find - and you're willing to pay a rather high price for this, knowing full well that it's a vinyl needledrop at best - then it might be a valid purchase for you. Still, I hate recommending that anyone buy an unauthorized CD - it's best not to reward these pirates.

Know what you're buying. Had I known going in, I wouldn't have made this purchase - and shame on Amazon for selling such stuff.

My best recommendation is to seek out the authorized A GOOD THING LOST, where all tracks were lovingly remixed and remastered by Terry Jacks himself. Unfortunately, you'll miss a few tracks, mostly from the second album.


title: The Best Album That Never Was

text:
First, I should state that this is not the music type to which I'd typically be drawn. Turn-of-the-century pop is not my typical kind of music. I'm of an earlier generation and this type of music would be aimed at a much younger crowd. However, somehow fate led me to a sampler EP of three tracks from an upcoming album by Melissa Lefton.

I'm not sure what drew me to even give it a listen, but chalk it up to the picture on the front of that sampler. It was of a young lady on a pink couch with her head resting on her arm. Her face looked a little like a young Elizabeth Montgomery, so perhaps that's what attracted me. Listening to the three tracks, I thought at first that they were just silly pop, but something about the musical hooks in these songs got me to listen again - and again.

After a time, I tried looking up information on the "forthcoming" album on what passed for an Internet in 2001. Information was sketchy, but I learned very little and saw just a picture or two. Real life, as it so often does, took over and I had filed this little card-CD promo away on the shelf.

Forgetting about it for years, I stumbled on it again and again found myself looking up info on the web. This time I learned that the "forthcoming" CD never came forth, was recalled and deleted, with only a handful of actual full-album promos pressed. And I spent a good deal of time tracking one down. I'm not even sure that the CD I found was legit. It looked like it was a CD-R with a paste-on clear label with the name MELISSA LEFTON in large letters at the top, a label logo and copyright info at the 9 o'clock position, and track listing printed at the bottom. Around the hub is printed MITSUI COLOR THERMAL, so I'm pretty sure it is indeed a CD-R. However, record companies DID issue promos on CD-R, and the back insert, printed in black on white, looks clear, clean, and legit, yet I remain skeptical that this is a legitimate promo. It could be, but I'd need confirmation. But the good news is that this did contain the full album, which contained more of the magic that I'd heard on the sampler.

Not content with that, and still needing the genuine article, my Internet searches continued, and I found another copy listed somewhere. This one claimed to be in a card-sleeve, which I'd read was the way it was distributed, so I grabbed it too. This one is the real-deal for sure. The CD-face is black-and-white striped, much like the outfit that Ms.Lefton wears on both sides of the card sleeve, and it was pressed by Sonopress, USA.

OK, so enough about my efforts to own this one. How is it? It's an amazing album by an amazing artist. Near as I can tell from the sparse credits found only on the sampler, Ms. Lefton wrote much of this material with some co-writers. The songs are musically interesting with real melodies and great hooks. Just a listen or two will draw the listener in, making the songs instantly familiar.

Others, in their reviews talk about 9/11, and the fact that the album might have been withdrawn because of the attacks on that day. But I think there was something else going on. To be sure, in the summer of 2001, Jive Records was going all out to promote the record by making both a 'mockumentary' and a full-on promo video for "My Hit Song". Perhaps the fact that "My Hit Song" didn't get any traction caused them to regroup, I don't know. What I do know is that the 9/11 release date surely didn't happen - and it must have been known well prior to 9/11 that it wasn't going to get released on that date.

Record companies at that time always released new material on Tuesdays, and 9/11/01 was a Tuesday. If the news events of 9/11 had caused a nervousness among record execs, it would have been too late for them to have withdrawn the release. Record stores all across the country would already have been stocked and ready to go with this album as a new release on that day. A recall would have gotten many of the packages sent back, but some would have survived, and some might even have sold. But the fact is it didn't happen. The album wasn't in stores on 9/11. Something prior happened to cause it to not get released, meaning that the only copies that exist are the promo copies that survived.

Radio programmers will tell you that back then, they got hundreds of new music discs crossing their desks each week, and typically, most of them get tossed in the trash, so that fact also limits the number of promo copies that could have survived. I feel fortunate to have found for sure one, and possibly two such promo discs, not to mention the EP.

It's truly a shame that these recordings were never heard except by a few of us who happened upon them. If the album does ever show up here on Amazon, don't hesitate to snap it up. It's a treasure.

title: Rare track, well-worth seeking out

text:
This song is a long-lost, sort-of thirteenth track to Amy grant's HOME FOR CHRISTMAS album. It seems that in 1992, when that album was first released, A&M issued a special extra single on cassette to purchasers at Target stores. Called "Let The Season Take Wing", the song has never managed to resurface on any of Amy's subsequent releases, so it's a sort-of forgotten track except to those who managed to get it and rescue it from the cassette format.

I only discovered it in 2011, but it's quickly warmed its way into my Christmas music rotation every year. In fact, as its theme is about letting the season take wing, it's a great starter to all Christmas music. It took me a couple of years to actually find the cassette, but I have, and it's a true lost treasure.


title: More than a decade of searching pays off

text:
Once upon a time, there was a record label called A&M Records. It had been founded by Herb Alpert & Jerry Moss with a single and and album called THE LONELY BULL. Looking for ways to expand the fledgling label, Herb turned to his studio marimba player and the two invented the Baja Marimba Band; those same two arranged a bunch of songs and Herb and Jerry Moss produced this first album.

Though it didn't chart very high, the Baja Marimba Band would go on to be very popular on the TV variety show circuit. They'd do their comedic "shtick" of being a sloppy, lazy bunch, but whenever the music started, it was a superior effort all the way.

This first album, simply called THE BAJA MARIMBA BAND, was only released on CD once for a very brief period of time in Japan as part of the 25th Anniversary celebration of A&M's founding (catalog D32Y3555). It is today, almost impossible to find. I myself searched for more than a decade before finding one at a reasonable price in the marketplace here at Amazon. The disc, case, inserts and obi strip were all included and in perfect shape.

It would be wonderful if the album - and indeed all Baja Marimba Band albums - were widely released in the CD format.

title: Rock for the Ages...

text: Great quality HDCD and worth it's higher cost if you have a nice home audio system and CD player sound source that will take full advantage of this HDCD format. Unlike cheap CD disk copies, this CD is lovingly recorded directly from the Master Studio recording. Very nice and full sound that can be hard to find in many CD's today. As for the music: This is what great Hard Rock is supposed to sound like. Long before the days of adding digital enhancements to make musicians sound fake. Sammy Hagar in his very early days with Ronnie Montrose... Does it get any better? IMO the music and songs on this CD are eternal and true. I have a million dollars that says my young daughters favorite digital musicians and their work will be long forgotten in just a year. This collection of songs is STILL played on radio and this great set of music on both LP and CD is STILL selling copies!<br />Long Live Sammy and long live Rock & Roll Baby!!!!!

title: Unfortunately, Less Than His Best - Uninspired

text:
I've always been able to connect with the deep feeling expressed in Maxi Priest's music . . . that is until now.  This CD lacks the underlying rythum and soul of reggae that Maxi is capable of blending into his music.  Until this release, Maxi has consistently been able to capture at least one or two songs per CD that have an exceptionally soft but driving raggae background accompanied by superb vocal delivery and melodic arrangement.
If Maxi sang to me in the late 1980s, like he does in this CD, I wouldn't have 5 of his releases in my library.  Maxi can do far better than this.  He is a great talent, the potential of which is not reflected in this CD.
I ranked this 3 stars, not compared to his previous material or what he is capable of but, compared to other artists.  If I compared the music in this CD to Maxi Priest's potential shown in previous releases it would be a 1 star performance.


The CD's folders are so cheap! The printing of the text is blurred and so small that you can not even read it. This rating is not for the Cd and their content, but for the poorly packaging of the material.The worst that I have ever seen! The packaging denigrates the quality of this artist. I am sure that Raphael would have not approve it.

This is an incredibly fun album that showcases the original Moog and all the trauma and pain it took to assemble an all-Moog piece using 70's technology. Incredibly bright and clear, these cuts opened the eyes and ears of everyone I played it to in college of the rich history of classical music, many would have never sampled without first hearing this album.

Each track was laid down in one pass, live, with one layer upon the next. The result is stunning. Even today, everyone who hears it begs to know the origin.

I managed to cobble together a CD of this but would really love to see it offered in a cleaned-up digital version. This music is timeless and has an enchanting effect upon small kids. Help another generation discover classical!

Digitize this gem from the past!!!!

Also love the BBC version of the Wallander Series as opposed to the Swedish version. Listening to this music brings me into my whole experience of Mr. Mankell's work. It cheers me up, has a sweet melancholy since I deal with so many of the same issues that Wallander has to face. There are certain tracks that would make a perfect accompaniment to a family/friend photo album

text: This is a CD for EVERYONE. Prayerful. Honest. Clear. Beauty on the airwaves.....I was privileged to hear Audrey recently at a coffeehouse styled intimate concert at Montclair State, NJ. Inheritance is her gift lavished to us~her simplicity, honesty, open-hearted sharing (she has no fear of fear!) how difficult it was for her to sing some of these classic poem prayers to God while she struggled in a dark place in her soul. Even though I had pre-ordered this by pledging while her project was underway, I went ahead and bought 3 more last Friday night and ordered 4 more through Amazon as gifts. I will probably order more soon.  My personal favorites are her original songs: In the Beginning (a Theology of the Body inspired beautiful song!) and Even Unto Death, written in honor of those men killed by ISIS on the beach, martyred for Love of Jesus.<br />Trust me on this one; this CD will bless you and all in your car or home.

I was only 15 or 16, and naive about boys and much less marriage, but she is a very engaging speaker, and to this day I still remember a line she said, "Whether you are making break or making love, you should have the Spirit."  (Paraphrased)  I didn't understand that then, except to know that we could have the Spirit of God to be with us, and bless us in everything we did.  If you are religious, and believe God can and will direct you in your life, as you seek him, you can't go wrong with this fun, but very interesting tape- which has many things to help you in your marriage!

title: This is not your ordinary sleep music

text:
Please please listen to the warning on this CD.  I first bought this cd years ago when my friend and I passed one of those things in the store that has a picture to push to hear the music sample of that cd.  As soon as the music started both of us simultaneously sighed and our shoulders slumped as if we were immediately resting.  I was having trouble sleeping at the time so I purchased it and tried it out.  At first I thought I could listen to it while in the bathtub.  BAD idea.  I think it is too relaxing for anything besides sleeping.
Also, I am not sure if you can OD on this cd but I'm thinking it is a possibility.  I put my radio on repeat one time and in the morning, though I was awake I couldn't seem to peel away from the bed.  My daughter turned it off for me and I could get up.  I had a headache for a few hours after that but then everything was ok.  I didn't use it for a few days then used it as needed for sleep.
This may never happen to you but these were my own experiences that I thought I should pass along so that you will know that it does work and that you should be careful and use it sort of like medicine.  I recommend it for anyone though, as long as you only play through once.


title: Moody and Creepy

text: I've listened to the entire Dark Adventure catalog and on first listen I put this at the bottom... but I think I was in a bad mood when I listened to it. It was still in my car's player and so I listened to it again and got a totally different reaction to it... ranking it now at #1. Moody and creepy. Loved it!!!


title: My current favorite!

text: My current favorite from this audio adventure series... Or is it Dreams From The Witch House? 2 of the 3 latest, greatest offerings from the Dark Adventure Radio Theater.... And the 3rd, The Color Of Space, is merly Very Good... An accurate feeling portrayal of the best from HP Lovecraft played with a wonderful mix of humor and horror. Might offend some with his abhorrent and immature racism but try not to let that deter you from an otherwise outstanding experience. This racism was unfortunate, but an all too real aspect of the 1920s & 30s that is all too easy to dismiss and forget.


title: Absolutely love this series

text: Absolutely love this series. It's a great way to get into the Cthulu mythos. Also love the many extras that are included... so many extras it's hard to keep the jewel case closed!


title: Truly Blessed!

text: The Tab Choir is used mightily of God to bless His own!


title: Talented Band

text: Solid first full length cd. All members sing and play multiple instuments. Songwriting is strong with a definite 60's British bands influence. See them live if you get the chance.


title: One Star

text: Bad lang


title: Three Stars

text: Great song but bad language with others


title: Great CD

text: Great Album just like his others I highly recommend all of Z-RO's CDs as you can see I have a couple albums of his.


title: Kept me interested

text: Good audio performance. Interesting story. Would recommend.


title: Pretty much same old stuff

text: The version of "Seek Up" on this recording is fantastic. Otherwise nothing you likely haven't heard already in another collection.


title: EVERYTHING AS EXPECTED!

text: EXCELLENT CD! QUALITY SOUND! THANKS!


title: EVERYTHING GREAT!

text: CD WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! HIGH QUALITY SOUND! THANKS!


title: QUALITY SOUND! THANKS!

text: BOB SEGER-MONGREL CD IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! BRAND NEW!


title: MEH!

text: Pretty lame,  big fan of both orb and D.G. but it just seems kind of contrived.<br />@ $93.50!? really, that's ridiculous. Worth $2.50 at most.


title: brings back memories

text: I bought it specifically for the track "Birth of the Beat" I had this album on vinyl back in the 60's. Had forgotten how good the rest of the tracks are. Bought it for our daughter-in-law who has taken up drums.


This sound board bootleg is pretty damn good and I own a lot of them. The early gig at Lycene music hall is the worst, an early recording of Zep when they were touring England back in 68; Surprisingly Plants voice is strong, Bonham is excellent (no Moby Dick) and Page does so unusual riffs-Cleveland loved them.


title: Love it

text: He's amazing


title: Scam!

text: Scam! You can buy them individually for a total of $15


title: The best work they ever did

text:
After the lack-lustre Van Halen II comes this epic album.
I first got this in the summer of 1980, and it just blew my mind. Eddie never sounded better, Diamond Dave's ego still under control with Michael and Alex proving a formidable engine room.
It STILL sounds amazing after 35 years, it really does!


title: Yet ANOTHER Greatest Hits package!

text:
A cash-in 'Greatest Hits' compilation, no doubt from Sharon Osbourne.....why else is the stomach-churning rubbish of 'Changes' included? Probably to ensure Kelly gets royalties!
Not enough Randy Rhoads tracks, the choices from 'Diary of a Madman' are questionable, NO Diary?.......wtf!
No 'So Tired' which was a big hit for Ozzy in the 80s, nor 'Shot in the Dark' either. No doubt an issue on royalties to past band members!
Just to rub our noses in it, we get (yet another) version of Paranoid!
If Sharon Osbourne reads these reviews..........ONE question..........Why don't you release the Randy Rhoads live footage or studio out-takes?


title: The Metal Master

text:
Rob Halford , in my opinion  , is the father of real heavy metal . I mean when Sad Wings of Destiny and Rocka Rolla came out , who was doing the operatic type , vibrato singing thing he was doing ? JP was the real deal , and started the genre of true heavy metal . If you think Deep Purple and Zepplelin are/were heavy metal , than obviously you wouldn't agree with that statement , but you'd be wrong , and I am right .
Anyway  , Rob rocks as usual , he could do this stuff in his sleep by now Im sure . His guitarists are not up to par with KK & Tipton , but whats cool about this cd is that they do play some old classic JP .
So , I like it OK , it was worth it to me .

title: Love This!

text:
The bird melodies are beautiful, their voices clear and crisp. I usually avoid nature CDs that have annoying musical scores, but this one is amazing. The Celtic harp and pan flute are barely whispering in the background. The melody is non-distinct. If I died and passed through the infamous "Tunnel of Light", this is the type of music I'd expect to hear in the background. Soothing. Relaxing. Angelic.

My CD cover doesn't show "Volume 5" in the upper right hand corner, but the picture and the description are the same. Is this CD part of another nature set? Part of a five-volume, bird-singing set? I don't know. I only know that I love it.


title: very tinny

text:
I had hoped that it would sound better than it did.
I really wanted to get this as I loved it when it was first out in a record album
I still am glad I got it but do wish it sounded better


title: Vintage ear candy!

text: So glad to have got a hold of this disc.  Music is just what I remember from the days of childhood.  Oh so good!!!


title: Takes me back in time!

text: This really took me back in time. So glad I was able to get a hold of it.

title: Hemi-Sync Eat/No Eat

text: A nice way to have you stop eating those extra brownies and cheese steaks, just pop on your headphones, quietly listen, relax and get the inside scoop from the master's of the mind--our friends at Hemi Sync.


title: Only a few mainstream songs

text: The shipping was timely. The playlist is just ok. Its not the type of CD you can just listen to from beginning to end.


title: The Best!

text: What can I say... it's the Carpenters!


title: Leaves out some of the best music

text: I was disappointed by this CD because it left out the songs I liked the most from the series. The series had so much great music and this CD doesn't match it. Three songs with Elvis Costello is two too many when he can be found on so many other CDs. It was expensive and hard to find and I never listen to it because it doesn't have what I wanted. It's not terrible but it could have had more songs and been better.


title: AMAZING MUSIC

text: Fantastic music!!!  Makes you want to worship and dance!!!  I seriously can feel the joy Mordecai has for singing and his Love for Hashem!!  MORE. WE WANT MORE!!!


title: It simply sounds fantastic! I didn't know it existed but picked it ...

text: This album jumps, bumps and grinds to the finish. It simply sounds fantastic!  I didn't know it existed but picked it up at Goodwill about a month ago. As others have described it is one bad ass recording.


title: And on the seventh day, He rested

text:
The downward spiral away from music with any semblance of song structure continues. The God of Anger Pop, who once created the singularly perfect musical moment that was Pretty Hate Machine, must have reached his seventh day of creation: for he is clearly resting on Ghosts. This is Reznor on a lazy day, bored with nothing better to do.

Ghosts I-IV is an organized chaos of happy (and angry and sad) accidents. I imagine a herd (or pod?) of Macs and samplers, pots and pans; left to their own devices, could produce something akin to Ghosts if they tried real hard. And I suspect Trent made exactly what he intended to make.

I admit that I'm still a pathetic hold-out waiting for Pretty Hate Machine II - The Revenge. Thus, nothing less will ever truly satisfy. Ghosts is neither fixed nor broken. It's really not that bad, but it's just not that good. And for a small fistful of dollars, I shouldn't complain.

I certainly like the progressive and revolutionary distribution (a la Radiohead's Rainbows) where the evil middle-man record company is kept out of the artist's and fans' relationship. I have to give kudos to NIN for fighting the good fight. So at worst, Ghosts I-IV will take up some precious space on your iPod. At best, it's harmless background noise. NIN Ghosts is a little haunting but definitely not scary.


title: Dio rocks any band he's in

text: My favorite BS line up


title: Great music

text: This a great album!


title: NICE SET!

title: SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!

text: SAVE YOUR MONEY!!<br />Forget about how bad the doctered recordings are, the notes are pure GARBAGE.


title: JJ's Burnin'

text: I've loved Jumpin' with Jonah for many years and recently picked up Muted Jazz when the Capitols were reissued - I've got the vinyl framed and on the wall - and At the Embers is really, REALLY good, too.  This guy is just plain fun, isn't he?


Exceptional recording - meets all modern standards and much more.  Loved the tempos and the violinist's tone.  For period instruments it's got to be among the best.  You will love it.


title: New yacht rock

text: Awesome new yacht rock inspired album. Not a bad song on the entire album.


title: Excellent Quality!

text: The quality is superb and Jose Alfredo Jimenez is the King of Mexican Ranchera music!<br />I highly recommend this rendition!


title: Great for those fall candles

text: A must if you have medium to big candles. It reaches them to the bottom.


title: WOnderful CD

text: Very nice CD with the violin classics that fill my soul--if only I could play them! I am very pleased with the CD and recommend it.


title: Four Stars

text: Loved the Christmas album but the Gunslinger...not so much


title: Never get tired of listening

text: I can listen to this CD for hours and hours.


title: Where are the balls?

text: I wasn't sure what I was going to get with this, but curiosity got the best of me.  Never did get the golf balls, just the three-pack of comedy cds.  The cds were amusing enough, but showing a 4-pack of golf balls for an item that didn't include any is quite misleading!

title: Happy to find this cd!

text: I have seen Danny Peck perform live a number of times and I've loved his songs.  When my boyfriend and I heard his song "In" for the first time we decided that it was "our song" but didn't know where to get a copy for ourselves.  I'm so glad to now have this cd to play whenever I need a Danny Peck "fix".  He's amazing!

text: Susana's voice with Hinojosa's amazing guitar, playing traditional songs make this CD an "invaluable" experience! Recommended for those who want to listen at wonderful "real" music!


title: Revival's in the Air - Love listening while driving

text: It's a two CD with a mixture of live and studio recordings.  I am not disappointed with my purchase.  I hope to memorize the songs to praise Him because there are no lyrics printed on the case cover.  After three weeks I can only sing the chorus.


title: Multi talented performer

text: Gigi Dover is absolutely amazing and has a voice that you cannot forget. She is super star quality and I urge everyone to check out  all her material.


title: Cute.

text: Cute. We had one for my daughter too. Pronunciation of name is a little awkward for my son not my daughters. And my sons name is Hudson but CD has Hayden on cover.


title: Great Combination of Works

text: The two most important choral works by Petrassi on one disc, along with a third work of great importance.  Coro di Morti is a necessary work for 20th century enthusiasts, and one of the pieces by which Petrassi should be appraised.  The only caveat is the mono recording, but still great.  The conductors and cool cover art add to the compelling nature of this disc.  Stradivarius does not produce fluff.  Note: there is another late choral piece by Petrassi (the title escapes my mind) that has been described as a masterpiece but no recordings exist (perhaps my assertion of the three best is incorrect, but Coro di Morti is not to be missed).


title: Underwhelming

text: From the music on this disc and what I've seen on youtube, the work of Prins seems very self-indulgent, and feels more like performance art wherein the sounds are secondary to the presence of people on stage or film working the equipment with the composer at the helm of the performance.  I was first drawn to this disc by the presence of Yaron Deutsch, but am overall disappointed with the compositions.  The cover art is pretty cool, but that's about all that's interesting.


title: Early Glass - Historically Interesting

text: This recording is interesting to hear Glass' beginnings.  The recording itself is from '68, complementing the historical nature of the content.  Strung Out to me sounds sort of like Celtic fiddle.  See for example the music of Kevin Crehan.  How Now sounds more like the Glass I'm familiar with.  It reminds me a bit of video game music.  As far as repetitive music goes, I think the Reich's music sounds fuller.  Glass is more direct, but less three-dimensional (is that good or bad?).  This is worth checking out if you like to get a sampling of music from a specific composer.  For further exploration of Glass you will want to add Music in 12 Parts (perhaps his most representative work), Einstein at the Beach (a 'minimalist' opera) and Mad Rush (beautiful piano music).  The packaging is a joke.  This is the thinnest cardboard sleeve I've ever seen.  The spine is so thin it can't even fit the title of the disc.


title: Great Rendition of Romantic String Quartets

text: While Dvorak's music might be considered the essence of Bohemia, he took a great deal of inspiration from his travels in America where he came in contact with the music of Black and Indian communities.  While many high profile people who travel to Iowa spend their time trying to get a sense of whether or not they could win the Iowa caucus, Dvorak spent his time in Iowa in writing his greatest string quartet and a quintet of outstanding merit.  His 12th string quartet is titled "American" and invokes Indian-like themes.  For example, the finale evokes Indian drums.  The second movement has been said to open with an Indian-like theme.  While Dvorak's time in America influenced his composition, these are not to be considered simply Extra-European works.  One should not ignore the spirit of Bohemia in the man who wrote these works.  The Talich Quartet, who are a prestigious group of Czech musicians, play the both pieces commendably giving these Bohemian works a highly representative recording and easy first choice if available.


title: Uncompromising and Exploratory

text: What is saturationism?  I have yet to find a fully satisfying answer, but it's been said that when you officially define a field you kill it, so I won't try too hard.  Among the many ideas expressed in Omer Corlaix's notes, the comment I find most intuitive is that "saturation is the result of excessive action in a limited environment."  Corlaix indicates that musically, this might be expressed by applying excessive air pressure to a wind instrument.  I'm not 100% convinced that saturation really is a "new thing" given the variety of sounds in the new music space, but it seems generally agreed upon that it is an "ism" unto itself and that Bedrosian and Cendo are the leading proponents.  Regardless, this monograph of Bedrossian pieces provides an interesting sound world.  In some ways it sounds like a caged beast, an analogy that I think is quite appropriate given the definition above.  This is not non-stop over the top energetics as some of the definitions of saturationism imply.  As a listener it seems to me the main theme is generating sounds that approach the limit of what is discernible, hence the idea of "excess sound".  Bossa Nova initially sounds like an accordion being tortured which morphs into a furious wolverine.  It's also featured on an accordion CD by Fanny Vicens.  Overall this is a disc worth exploring for fans of new music.  One of it's strengths is its discipline, never throwing a bone to those looking for something more rhythmic or commercial sounding.  Bedrossian never compromises his style for cheap applause.  Even if one greatly prefers the romantics over the kind of music expressed on this CD, I argue that listening to Bedrossian and similar challenging music enhances the experience of listening to Wagner and the great romantics; it changes the way you listen to music and your perception of sound.


title: Great Music

text: Beautiful score.  As special as The Magnificent Seven which is so much better known.


title: Jack Jones sings  collection of Love Songs.

text: Great Album and great price.  Jack Jones is one of the great crooners and every song on this album is worth listening to over and over.  A great CD for a romantic evening.


title: but he loved it.

text: I bought this photo album for my son. It is not a band that I listen to, but he loved it.


title: Must have for Hana

text: Terrific way to make sure you see the best sights.  THe CD made our recent trip much better.  If I had time I would do the two day version.  Well worth the $20.


title: Five Stars

text: Love it!


title: Fantastic!

text: 5 Star rating all the way for this CD. Great sound, quality, and value.


title: Music from my college years

text:
Crystal clear recording with everything done right for an LP.  The music reminds the casual listener that these tunes have been used for everything, a lot of it commercial so it's accessible for the non-jazz listener.

The crazy beat changes, the piano, the musicians are all exceptional; on every song.

Jazz for the rock stars.


title: Great for late night enjoy

text: For the true fan awesome sound, transports you to the concert


title: Good album.

text: Nice.


Oh my gosh, this cd brings me such inexpressible joy!!!!!


title: The gold standard of official McCartney releases

text:
This Netherlands only release is likely the gold standard of rare official McCartney releases.  The album contains a full second disc of material.  They are all b-sides to the Off The Ground singles.  All but two are OTG session studio recordings. "Things We Said Today" and "Midnight Special" are both leftovers from the MTV Unplugged show.

Most of the songs are of equal or better songwriting quality than some of the OTG tracks.  This is not only a personal opinion but one shared by the majority of McCartney reviews (I'm talking about you, Biker Like An Icon)!  Most listeners will be pleasantly surprised by how varied and enjoyable this collection of b-sides are.  There are many standout tracks, none being particularly weaker than the others.

If you are a value shopper, it will likely be more economical to hunt down all of the singles. Luckily I got this when it came out for a fraction of its going value now.  Still listening to the second disc as a collection than the individual singles changes the feel of these songs as a body of work. It actually turns them into a body of work and makes an interesting compliment to the OTG studio album. This and a collector's desire to have an amazing piece in their posession are the main reasons to own this.


title: Pleasant but now obsolete.

text: The Beatles covers are easy and enjoyable.  However, the purchase of the 2 disc set of Kojak Variety along with your existing copy of Brutal Youth makes this disc obsolete . . . unless of course you don't like Kojak Variety.


title: Not in good condition

text: The CD has a significant scratch in it, pretty disappointing for the price.


title: Sri Siva's Mantras

text: I started  using this and after a week or two I had really good results. I feel that this is a type of meditation that has to be entertained and practiced, sometimes I fell asleep if I wasn't paying enough attention. The only reason I gave it a minus one star was because it is a video, what I did was downloaded to my ipod touch and just listen to it like I would a regular audio track. I only got to the first CD and then looked into getting his book so I could chant the mantras myself instead of listening. Otherwise, I think it would be a great program to continue when I want to complete the whole year program.


title: Terrific collection

text:
Great collection of truly gifted gospel singers, groups, and choirs doing Dylan's best Christian period songs.  As noted by others, tho all are good, the Chicago Mass Choir version of "pressing On" is almost other-worldly -- and one of the finest gospel pieces I've ever heard.  (I'm a huge Rosetta Tharpe and Dorothy Love Coats fan, for reference purposes; the Shirley Caesar version of "Gotta Serve Somebody" has a nice DL Coates vibe to it.)

Tho I'm a lifelong Dylan fan, I'd always skipped his Christian Period albums, owning just about everything pre-Late 70s and Post-early 90s.  But, since getting this, I've gone back and gotten "Saved" -- which has six of the songs featured here, including the original "Pressing On."

That's a terrific album, too!


title: Demos Deep Cuts

text: I have everything else by the Demos, and I didn't know this existed until I found it in a local store. Still, though, you can hear the origins of their current sound, and most of these songs are pretty solid. It's cool to see how they've developed, and this is an enjoyable album to listen to either way. Great band!


title: Magical, mesmerizing, like buddha bar but better

text: Amazing music. Mesmerizing blend of dark loungy techno, arabic beats and Zahava powerful voice.


title: First year of piano

text: My seven-year-old daughter started taking her piano lessons using these piano books. We greatly recommend them. They are very user-friendly and lots of fun.


title: Very good

text: Very interesting


title: Beneficial!

text: In the last 10 months I have been using self hypnosis recordings with wonderful results.  I decided to take a chance and order Rachael Eccles' session because this particular one addressed an issue I have struggled with all my life.  I am so glad I did.  Her voice is very relaxing, the suggestions for overcoming fear of abandonment are appropriate in that they encourage self esteem building, positive thinking and self care.  There are subtle, powerful shifts unfolding that I can recognize each and every day in this area of my life.  For me, hypnosis is the gateway to profound and permanent change.  I am convinced of that now and so excited for the future.  Rachael's session is a wonderful support on my life improvement journey!


title: great band from so. sacramento

text: worth buying. was not released tell long after the 60's. . I grow up wih them , there as good as you can get in the 60's calif sounds. worth the money.


WTF! Doesn't sound like any piano jazz I've ever heard.

title: If you don't like NIN you won't likely Dig this.

text: Rad "side" project, for fans of NIN obis. Mariqueen Maandig's vocals are beautiful and perfectly suited to the ajar sound of T. Reznor A. Ross adding Rob Sheridan to round out the sound of NIN in an other timeline. I love it and looking forward to picking up the rest of their work as i came to it hella late.

I wish I could find DJ Ferret and thank him/her for my obsession with Emilie Autumn.  This is the compilation that introduced her to me!  There are a lot of other great stand out tracks from Carfax Abbey, ThouShaltNot, Dope Stars Inc, Neuroticfish, and an exclusive track by my beloved Rasputina.  Don't skip on the DVD, though!  The Ego Likeness video is creepy beyond words, Gothminister will make you laugh until you cry with their trash bag & tin foil "spooky" outfits, Faun shows us great beauty in Pagan-based faith, and Corvus Corax is just something to be experienced!


title: Raw and innovative stuff

text: Love the raw sound of this band. Innovative! 1996...These guys should still be playing!


title: Takes me back to sweetness.

text: Love this music. Songs are all originals.


title: Treasury of Piano Classics

text: I received volumn 4 of the treasury of piano classics.  There are 5 cassettes in the collection and they usually come as a bundle. I believe the description did not make this clear.  I thought I was receiving the whole package not just one volumn. I love The Treasury of Piano Classics and wanted a backup of the one I had.  I don't feel I got what I paid for and will not order from this company again.


title: Mesmerizing!

text: Basic tunes that grip the inner me


title: Soprano Sax Christian Instrumental at its Best!

text: If you want relaxing, soothing & inspiring the soul, Kim Costanza Christian Music will bless you!  He has a gift from God to bless the listener!  The way he plays the Soprano Sax is unique and uplifting!  He has a musical inheritance coming from his family..."Music has always been a part of my life. My father was a jazz saxophonist and conductor, my mother was a vocal music teacher. My uncle was the music director for "Mister Roger's Neighborhood" and one of the best jazz pianists of his day. For our family, music wasn't just something to listen to or to play; it was a way of communicating. I was exposed to so many styles — just by being immersed in the music around me. - Kim Costanza"


title: Great album but FAR CHEAPER elsewhere

text: The music in these 2 discs is fantastic, will be loved by any Elton fan.  However, it's available on the Elton John fan site for $9.99.


title: beautiful voice

text: this is beautiful chinese traditional "opera" sung by a young man. It is very pleasing to the spitit and relaxing even though I don't understand the actuell words


title: Always a class act.

text: Seen them at Branson.  Seen them on PBS.  Seen them via DVD.  They always deliver great songs with enthusiastic charm of a loving and harmonious family.


title: Fantastic!!

text: What can I say that has not been said before. This is one of the great recordings of this beautiful Wagner opera. Others have said it all so read the positive ones. I agree wholeheartedly.


title: Virtuosic!!

text: Wonderful music guaranteed to quiet the nerves and soothe away your cares. The performers are virtuosi. I listen to it often in these times of turmoil. I heard it first on YouTube and simply had to have my own copy.


title: love this cd for work!

text: I play this for my work infants throughout the week and even learned the lyrics to these songs. I love it!


title: Yessssss

text: Everything came exactly as suppose to, a lot of pictures and a photo card the CD and the cover of the book was very thick and not cheap at all.

title: The best bargain CD ever

text: This is probably typical Nana, I don't know this is my only CD by her but it contains two of the greatest performances of all time, "And I Love You So," the Don McLean song and "Even Now," not the Barry Manolow song, thank God.  Even Now is a song that I can find out very little about other than it was written by one completely unknown writer and another who was a calypso singer.  They wrote it in the early fifties and, as done by Mouskouri it is wonderful.  (Even my copy of the CD says it is by Manilow, but it is not.)  There are a few other songs that are pleasant enough and some I just don't like but it is, nevertheless, a GREAT CD.

title: Musically tight; technically flawed.

text:
This San Francisco Symphony's recording of several of Aaron Copeland's more popular pieces is a strong recording, but one that must be listened to with headphones: the dynamic range is too broad to support normal listening environments.

Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony offer a musically tight, one might even say exacting, recording of Billy the Kid, Appalachian Spring, and Rodeo. The performers excel at a clean performance with every note in its place. But the recording often lacks sufficient heart and emotion. It is as if each member of the orchestra succeeded in playing every note correctly, but Tilson Thomas brought them together only insofar as those notes were concerned. He failed to fully release the joy, fear, passion, and terror in the music.

The recording also struggles from the technical side with a sonic range too broad for normal listening. I found the only way I can enjoy this recording is with headphones. With all other noises closed out, I can hear the softer elements of the pieces, and the louder elements don't disturb the neighbors.

I nevertheless enjoy this recording. Listening to Copeland in this crisp, almost clinical play still leaves me marveling at his genius.

title: Oh, Dusty how I still miss you - still!

text: What more can one write about this sensational, haunting voice and of a classic of 50+ years that sounds as fresh as when I bought the cd the first time way back then. The interpretations are playlets n themselves.Dusty's rendition of The Windmills of Your Mind perfectly evokes the mood of a love that is intense, perplexing ,mysterious and ultimately, sadly, over.


title: Fabulous vocals

text: I first heard this group on the "Elizabethtown" soundtrack. I must admit that I did like the movie, partly because I like off the wall movies, but mostly because of the soundtrack. I bought this "live" EP because it's all I could find of I Nine on here that I could buy. I only regret that it is not an entire concert of many more songs. The vocals are absolutely tremendous. I love this woman's voice! The music is heavy acoustic, and the whole thing is hauntingly beautiful. The lyrics are also very good. This CD has been in my CD changer for the last 7 months, and I don't see it coming out any time soon.

Can't add much to BMO'H's eloquent review.

The British did a great job with radio dramas at the same time they were becoming popular in America.  The CD's are well-done with nice, clean sound.  Good value on sale.

text: The entire "Architects Of Change" CD is timeless and magical. Each track is an original masterpiece! Play it in your car while you wait on your spouse; people will walk up and want the name of the CD and the artist. The music is so powerful, listen to it the first time at home or risk just wanting to pull to the side of the road and feel the beauty and emotion of Spencer Nilsen's only New Age CD. I bought the CD when it was first released (1989). It was then, it is now and always will be at the top of my most treasured CD's. If you have the opportunity to purchase this CD, strongly consider adding it to your favorite CD collection. All that is left to say is: Encore, Spencer, encore!

title: What WERE They Thinking?!?

text:
I never thought I could rate anything from any of Terry Scott Taylor's bands or his solo work with only 1 star, but in this case, I think that's giving it the benefit of the doubt!  This is as bad as their other stuff is good.  Don't bother to read any farther unless you actually plan to buy the album - you'll likely change your mind by the end of this review.

My guess is that this album was the band's attempt to make fun of what they considered especially trite Christian pop songs (crossover attempts?) by performing them in an extremely unflattering way.  In this, at least, they succeed.  For one song, it might work as a pretty funny joke, but for a whole album, it's barely listenable.  Or was this maybe the final album of a contractual obligation for Star Song, and a quick way to get out of it?  I'm really surprised that Star Song was willing to put this out.

The whole thing needs to be taken very tongue-in-cheek, including the liner note explanation for the album:

A special message from Camarillo Eddy and the Swirling Eddies:
As you may or may not know, the original Eddies were shipwrecked and lost at sea in 1993 (the year of the Cow).  During our much bewailed absence, a group of imposters, posing as the Eddies, recorded an album named "Zippity Do Daddy," or something like that.  Now the real Eddies have returned and in our first major attempt to crossover into mainstream Contemporary Christian Music we have recorded the ten best "CCM" songs that have really helped us.  We cannot begin to duplicate the original, stunning, recorded masterpieces but we have given it our best shot and pray that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.  It is our hope that we have not offended the original artists, but have paid them, in our own small and humble way, genuine homage and have given them the encouragement, they all need to go forth, rock the flock, and cause the devil's horns to lock!

Next to this message is a photo of Terry looking like he's supposed to be a Romanian (or some other East European nationality) woman with a head scarf, but also with moustache and goatee.  Also in the liner notes, "The Eddies would like to especially thank Ruth Buzzi," and there's a quote from Mark Twain - "Sacred Cows make the best hamburger."

The ten songs are:

God Good, Devil Bad (DeGarmo & Key) - The instrumentation sounds like a bad polka / oompah band, and the singing sounds like a really bad Scandinavian accent with variation between monotone singing and melodrama thrown in.  The end degenerates into a rant / rave / chant, rapidly and incessantly repeating God Good, Devil Bad, very, very, very, very... etc., ad nauseum.

Baby Baby (Amy Grant) - Though the instrumentation on this one is acceptable, the singing voices are horrible.  Have you ever seen someone stick their stomach way out and scrunch up their neck, pretending to be fat, talking in a really deep "fat" voice?  Well this is a duet between a "fat" male voice and another voice that sounds like a female impersonator immitating Edith Bunker.  There are a couple of cute spots where musical lines from other songs are thrown in.

Satan, Bite the Dust (Carman) - This one is done with an extreme speech impediment (a lispy, spitty S slurred / lisped between the back teeth), very annoying, and difficult to even understand much of the time.  A couple lines of the Bonanza Theme and "Hiyo Silver, Away!" find their way into the song.  Instrumentation is also fairly annoying guitars, not usually accompanying the lyrics very well.

Not For Me (Kim Boyce) - Abruptly changes from synthesizer to grinding guitar after a few lines.  Kind of weird to have a male singing, "He's not for me" - it was a little more convincing from Kim Boyce in the original.  The backing doo-wop-type vocals are males using "unpretty" falsetto voices.  The song cuts off abruptly, none to soon.

I Luv Rap Music (DC Talk) - Done in "lounge lizard" fashion, using all of about 3 notes and spoken word.  This sounds like the singer made up the "tune" as he went, sounding very full of himself, ad libbing lots of extra words wherever he can fit them in.  There's even a bit of bad scat singing near the end - it honestly reminds me of Liza Minelli singing what she would intend to be a good performance, therefore proving how bad it is.

Convertibles (White Heart) - Barely enunciated, mumbled lyrics, atonal or off-key throughout, screechy falsetto backing vocals at the end.  Decent instrumentation.

I Use the J Word (DeGarmo & Key) - The only halfway decent performance on the album, but only halfway.

Alcatraz (Al Denson) - The instrumentation is way too busy and bouncy, singing sounds very half-hearted, though the ending is a bit humorous.

Big House (Audio Adrenaline) - The "singing" (actually closer to spoken word most of the time) sounds like a mix between Truman Capote and a cartoon dog I saw once - some bassett hound or something with a really goofy voice everyone would recognize.  Part of the time, it also sounds like the singing is going through an echo chamber.

Sing A Long Song (Stryper) - Wasn't the original called the Sing-Along Song?  This one has guitars that are way too low and dirge-like, while the voices sound kind of like The Chipmunks, but not as attractive (and I hate The Chipmunks to begin with).  Blaring horns meander through the second half of the song.

This album will certainly never win the band any new fans - what WERE they thinking?!?

Revised note (2009) - Though this review has gotten only 1 out of 6 helpful votes, I stand by what I've said.  Before rating it as unhelpful, you need to at least listen to the album twice from beginning to end, maybe even play it for a few friends (if you're not too embarrassed) and get their feedback.  Anyone doing that will have a much more difficult time rating this review as unhelpful.  Not to say that these guys don't have musical talent - it just doesn't show up here.


title: Incredible "New Wave" Christian Music - Truly Original, Ahead of its Time!

text:
I can't believe that no one has yet reviewed this "collection" of the four Alarma Chronicles albums, which just goes to show how incredibly underrated these albums are / were - they just didn't sell very well.  I own the individual albums, some in multiple formats, but NOT this particular set, so a bit of the review is guesswork.

First, the bad things about this set:

*I find it very sad that when the four albums were collected into a "boxed set," they only put them onto three CD's!!  Wouldn't it have been nice to have them on four CD's, so it was almost like owning the originals?  Also, since each of the four albums was a "concept" album, with the four together having an overriding theme, the concept of the individual albums certainly gets lost when you start moving the songs around to make them fit onto three CD's.  When the collection costs $100, wouldn't you think the buyer deserves four CD's instead of just three?!?  How much extra would this have cost them?

*These are NOT the original songs from the four albums.  From what I understand, there was apparently some kind of legal dispute between Daniel Amos and Larry Norman (who basically owns / owned the rights to the original recordings), and Daniel Amos wanted to turn the original albums (which were offered only on vinyl and tape) into CD's.  Daniel Amos has claimed that Larry and his company wouldn't allow them to do this, and kept the original masters of the recordings under lock and key.  So, DA decided they would re-record the four albums for CD, which were released several years before the boxed set, but quickly went back out of print, which has sadly been the case for MOST of their music.  They really did a pretty good job on the re-recordings sticking to the original performances, but I have heard both, and can hear a bit of a difference - I doubt that either one is better or worse, but for those purists who want to own the originals, they ARE different.  The most glaring difference is that Terry Taylor (or the whole band) decided somewhere along the way that the song "It's Slick" (about media advertising) ought to be retitled "It's Sick," along with changing the lyrics to reflect this also (I liked the original title better, as the satire came through much more clearly).

*It's so darned expensive.  Yes, I know I referred to that fact earlier, but with a retail price of $100, it deserves repeating with its own individual asterisk.

*It was a very limited set.  I believe there were only 1,000 of the set made - I'm not sure whether they were numbered, autographed, etc., but they were kind of advertised as being a limited edition printing, probably in part so that people would buy them up quicker, looking at them as a collector's item or knowing that the time to buy them would be quite limited before they were back out of print.  I have seen quite a few of them for sale secondhand, so I'm guessing that maybe "scalpers" bought a good share of them, and then tried to sell them - what's sad is that market demand has not raised the price, though that's good news for the consumer.

The Good News:

*The best news is the music.  Written descriptions just can't to true justice to it.  At first the music may seem a bit "weird," but it will grow on you very quickly upon repeated listenings.  The set contains The Alarma Chronicles Volume I / Alarma! (1981), The Alarma Chronicles Volume II / Doppelganger (1983), The Alarma Chronicles Volume III / Vox Humana (1984), and The Alarma Chronicles Volume IV / Fearful Symmetry (1986).  Most of the music is new wave, often with an ethereal quality mixed in - sometimes punk / grunge / rock, sometimes beautiful ballads, always original.  I think this band was WAY ahead of its time with much of this music.  Fearful Symmetry is less new wave, more alternative.  I'm assuming that most people reading this review are already somewhat familiar with Daniel Amos, and can testify to the quality of their music, and can testify to the originality and quality, and this one certainly does NOT disappoint.

*Lots of music.  I don't know whether this set included the bonus tracks included on the '91-'92 CD releases, but on those, Alarma had 16 songs + 3 bonus tracks, Doppelganger had 16 + 2, Vox Humana had 12, and Fearful Symmetry had 10.

*Critical appeal.  You might look at the website and say, "Well of course they only included the positive reviews on their own website," but I have a hard time believing that DA ever HAD a negative review from anyone other than a one-time, casual listener, unless it was from someone who just didn't like one of the musical genres they explored at some point (country, new wave, punk, grunge, rock, easy listening).  Among critics who have followed Daniel Amos, they are consistently reviewed as one of THEE best bands around, always with intelligent lyrics and musically great too.

*I don't know whether the set contains lyrics sheets, but if you go the band's website (sorry, I can't write the name here, as it will get censored, but the website address is just their 10-letter name followed by the usual ending for web addresses), all the lyrics (also credits and reviews) are available there, among tons of other information.  It seems like I saw comments by Terry Scott Taylor (generally the lead singer and lyricist) about many of the songs and their meanings / message there also, which is valuable, as Taylor often has "coded" lyrics that I've never been able to figure out the true meaning of, though some are quite apparent.  Just keep in mind that many of the songs are pure satire, which seems to offend some Christians, but often drives the point home much better than it could be done otherwise, pointing out the absurdity of what their taking satirical swipes at.

*The fact that the set is / was available at all is great.  I'm guessing there are awesome liner notes, etc. in this boxed set.  And with the rarity of the individual albums / CD's (the CD's usually going for $25 to $50 each on that famous online auction site (I'm sure that name would get censored too), it's nice to have all four albums available in one package, and when you look at the individual prices, the price on a boxed set is likely to be somewhat less than buying them piecemeal.  I will probably end up buying this set at some point myself, as I only have two of the albums on CD at this point.

*With DA's previous history of reissues, there's every chance in the world that at least some of these four albums will be available again.  After their original release on vinyl and tape, I believe they were all reissued as both CD and tape around 1992, maybe '91-'92.  Then this CD set was released in 2000.  So, who knows?  Reissues are usually available first via the band's website.  And with downloading / iPods / MP3's (I don't understand any of it yet) becoming more and more prevalent, I can foresee DA likely offering their music via their website in the near future.  We can only hope!

Favorites:

It's very, very difficult to narrow down favorites on these four incredible albums, as almost all the music is amazing, but here goes:

Alarma! -

Central Theme

Alarma!

Faces to the Window

Through the Speakers

Doppelganger -

Hollow Man

Mall (All Over the World)

Real Girls

New Car

Youth With a Machine

I Didn't Build It For Me

Vox Humana -

It's Sick

William Blake

Dance Stop

The Incredible Shrinking Man

Sanctuary

Fearful Symmetry -

The whole thing is great, though Instruction Thru Film may be the weak moment musically (though it's still one of those you can't get out of your head) because of the narration about Tom, which may seem quite hokey / novelty song to some.

Incarnations of Terry Taylor / Daniel Amos:

Terry Taylor, lead singer of Daniel Amos, is incredibly prolific, recording solo and with a few bands.  Besides being leader / lead singer of Daniel Amos, DA also performs under the band name Swirling Eddies (same line-up I'm quite certain), though the Eddies music tends to often be a bit goofier.  And Taylor is a member of a "super group" called The Lost Dogs, with Mike Roe of the 77s, and Derri Daugherty (and maybe another member) of The Choir.  I believe Taylor writes or co-writes pretty much everything from all these acts, and all are very critically acclaimed.  I don't own anything from the Lost Dogs (that will soon change), but own most of the other.

Stylistically:

Daniel Amos's earlier albums (before the Alarma Chronicles) were country oriented, moving slowly toward rock / new wave as they went.  The first 3/4 of Alarma Chronicles were strongly new wave, with the last being more experimental alternative.  Their next album, Darn Floor, Big Bite (my personal favorite - WOW!  See my review.), is also experimental.  Then DA started moving more and more toward a rock / grunge sound with much of their work, though even on individual albums they may do plenty of genre jumping.  By the mid-90's, they were leaning more toward an alternative sound, and their latest, Mr. Buechner's Dream, is more easy listening / folksy in nature.  However, they REALLY CAN'T be pigeon-holed into easy categories much of the time - just lots of great, amazing music!


title: DA at their very best?

text:
The masters of genre-jumping are at it again!
It would be very difficult for any band to follow up the four incredible DA albums in the Alarma Chronicles (Volume 1 - Alarma!  Volume 2 - Doppelganger, Volume 3 - Vox Humana, Volume 4 - Fearful Symmetry, released in 1981, 1983, 1984, and 1986), but Darn Floor, Big Bite (1987) slightly edges out these gems as my own personal DA favorite.
As the album notes tell, "Darn Floor, Big Bite" is the description of an earthquake, given by Koko the famous gorilla that uses sign language and word symbols.  I'm sure that this is a "concept album" but, as with many of DA's other projects, most of Terry Taylor's coded meanings go a few levels deeper than what I can interpret.
The album is kind of a mix of heavy guitars, punk / new wave, driving beat, and beautiful ethereal music (think somewhere along the lines of Enya's music) - it's amazing how DA combines these styles together and totally makes it all work!  Stylistically, there is cohesion throughout the album, and Taylor uses a different vocal style ("new wave voice?") than on most of his other songs.
Favorites are "The Shape of Air" ("I can sit and stare 'til it's almost clear," a reference to God?), "Safety Net" ("You fall, you get, caught in the safety net."  This one's not too hard to figure out, as it also starts with a reference to the "cradle of grace."), and Pictures of the Gone World.
I've often heard references to Terry Scott Taylor's "creative genius," and it is at full throttle on this album - I just wish he would explain more of the deeper meanings of his lyrics.  Sad to say, but this album has been in and out of print, and is currently out.
You can find more information about Daniel Amos, their many offshoots (bands and solo), and their music at their great website (easily found with a search or a little imagination).

title: I passed the citizenship by listening to this cd

text: I love it


title: Heavy Band

text: This is heavier than almost any other band I can think of except maybe Deathstar or Disembodied. Great vocals, almost death metal style put to constant detuned breakdowns.


title: Obscured by Time

text: Utterly unknown band from MA. Somewhat similar to Barrit or Overcast, also of MA. This is the classic metalcore sound, which is sad because the name has become so tainted it's almost an insult to call bands that today. This is non-commericialized metal influenced hardcore. Expect heavy breakdowns, Earth Crisis guitar chugs, melodic parts and 80's style (Slayer) riffing.


title: Love this so much

text: I can't even start on this. It is just the best melodic hardcore album ever written. Full of rage and despair. I think another review put it best. Imagine classical music with explosions of screaming and heavy guitars.


Phenomenal band. These guys sound like One King Down meets Evergreen Terrace. Four full lengths total and I can't find one BAD TRACK. They're too good. Just love this band and everything they've done. Antarctica particularly is a masterpiece.


title: Icy Italian Edge

text: This is probably the best album among many great albums released by this band. Sound is somewhere between the early Evergreen Terrace style metalcore and the old school sound of a band like Have Heart or Champion. They have a diverse mix of influences and everything that embodies hardcore can be found. The feeling through out is constant exhilaration and intensity. The melody is very fitting as well and brings to mind the One King Down album God Loves Man Kills. This is absolutely essential record to own.


title: Brilliant band explores the sounds of metal and hardcore

text: I'm always looking out for great old school hardcore bands that I missed in the last 90s. The music hear can't be easily described. The sound is similar to Barrit, and Poison the well, thrashy metalcore with unusual variety of songs. They do a Jane's addiction cover, that is unheard of. These guys take their music everywhere. So many great songs and album. Incredible creativity. I really like this band, they should have been a well known classic along bands like Prayer for Cleansing.


title: Five Stars

text: We love the pillows at Holiday Inn Express Hotels, so we were very excited to find these on Amazon.  However, the ones we ordered are not the same as the ones we remember from our hotel stays.  Instead of being soft and fluffy, they are flat and firm, and the covers are made of a fabric that is stiff and that makes a noisy crackle when pressed.  Unfortunately, we will be returning them and continue our search for the "perfect pillow"!

text: DO NOT BUY. THIS SKIPPED RIGHT OUT OF THE PACKAGING. Even after i cleaned it. Junk


title: Tape quality hurts...

text: Is anyone else disappointed with the cheap quality of the cassette? I own a very nice cassette player and tapes should not sound like this. This is a fantastic album but it is not done justice. Will be returning.

title: Definitive Collection of Early Electric Guitar Rock

text: An interesting and comprehensive compilation of early electric guitar rock.  Plenty of less well known tracks/covers.  Most, but not all are good, solid surf music.  A great value for $25.  It even arrived a week early.<br />One annoying bit:  all but 4 tracks had any track information other than generic album encoding, so be prepared to input it by hand, if that's your thing.
