title: Perfect from start to finish

text: This was my introduction to the songs of Leonard Cohen. I was already a huge Jennifer Warnes fan, and never understood why she wasn't a star on the level of Linda Ronstadt or Bonnie Raitt or some other of her peers. Jennifer Warnes beautifully-subtle tremolo is so perfectly suited to the haunting rapture of Cohen's work that there isn't a dud on this album. Highly recommended.


title: Maybe one of the weakest Beck offerings

text:
But that’s still better than most artists- by far.
3 solid tracks- the first painfully short- and the rest quite listenable, if somewhat forgettable.

Still, love and respect to Beck.


title: Five Stars

text: Great work by Brother McConkie.


title: Wonderful

text: I had these for my grown children when they were young and again bought them for my grandchildren. They are just as good today as they were then. My granddaughters love them. The music is peaceful and full of the Word of God


title: New Favorite

text: Heard one of his songs on Range Radio and took a chance on the whole album. Luckily, I absolutely love it. If you're a fan of true western music, you'll love it too! Beautifully written songs, artfully sung. Hits a real chord with me as a lover of the American West!

title: Celtic Christmas produced by Dan Cleary

text: This is a wonderfully authentic Celtic Christmas CD.  It's too bad that the Windhall Celtic christmas CDs over-power the search for this CD, because without the producers name, amazon did not find it for me!  I am trying to find other CDs of this quality, but so far no luck.


title: Now this is some great fun. If you have not listened to any ...

text: Now this is some great fun.  If you have not listened to any of the Dark Adventure Radio Theater productions you are missing some outstanding tributes to Lovecraft and the once-lost art of radio theater.  This one is best enjoyed if you have some familiarity with the H.P. Lovecraft stories Dagon and Shadow Over Innsmouth and yet even folk familiar with those stories will enjoy the twists and surprises in this adaptation.  Great job, once again, DART!


title: Like Sitting in the Studio with TALENT TALENT TALENT.

text:
An AMAZING glimpse into Studio production work in the very early
70's with a huge pool of talent.
You experience the building of rock guitar music into near orchestral pieces
trending into massive guitar jams.

There are two releases of this that I know of and now there
are newer releases from Japan that I can't vouch for.

This is the earliest of the two early releases and
was painstakingly mastered.

It is one of the best sounding albums I have I have ever heard,
but bear in mind it is a set of studio tapes.
It is dudes doing runs at a song or laying down single tracks.
It's like looking into a musician's mind.


title: Cover Art of Cane Hall Asylum.

text:
The only reason to get this cover is to collect the rare original cover art.
You can read about the cover art...this was the original Weller Art that Bowie
wanted to replace for photos of himself in a dress.
This would be the US Mercury release album cover art  from 1971.
This cover was later traded for a black and white photo
of David as the "Dancing Mime" when released by RCA.

The playlist remains the same on each release; just the covers changed.

The best sounding vinyl release of this album would come over twenty years later with the
clear vinyl from Rykodisc, which Amazon does not differentiate  from other vinyl copies.

There are Japanese vinyl copies which are also very good as well.  Japanese RCA  issues would
also have the "Dancing Mime"cover art.

The music is an early project from Bowie and is mostly Heavy Metal, with flavors of Goth and the Supernatural which
later reverberated in groups like The Cure.

This album's legacy was so important to those who played on the album that an anniversary tour was set up by the original players.


title: The Best Way to Listen to This Album Aside from RYKO Vinyl

text:
This is not the best vinyl pressing by MFSL,
but still sounds very good.

This is the only MFSL pressing I give four stars.

There was actually a release on RYKODisc Vinyl in the 1990's
that matched or surpassed the sound of this MFSL release.

Either of these vinyl pressings are the best way to listen to this album.

When I change out the vinyl for a CD, people ask if a fuse has blown in the speaker.
These vinyl pressings are that great.


title: For Many Years, The Holy Grail of Vinyl Pressings

text:
Those of you who know this pressing know it is the Holy Grail of MFSL pressings.
Most of these copies have been played out or are in private collections.
The sound of the picking and acoustic guitar work on this pressing are one of a kind,
a unique listening experience..

This single album pressing cemented the MFSL as a sought after source for unique sound quality.

The album was so well received that a UHQ heavy vinyl version was also pressed.
This thinner version is still acoustic perfection.

This sounds better than any CD I have ever owned and when I trade it out for a CD,
people think fuses blew in the speakers.


title: Not the original Telarc CDs - and I can prove it

text:
Before purchasing these CDs I had read the reviews saying they were not the same as the original Telarc CDs. Since the price was low and the recordings had received good reviews, I purchased it anyway. I happened to already own the original Telarc CD of the Enigma Variations from 2006, but none of the others. Using that CD as a reference, I can now show that what is in this box is different from the original Telarc issues.

Methodology:
My first step was to simply rip a CD image of the Telarc version and a CD image of this version and compare their SHA1 sums. Had they been the same, I could have ended right there, but they were different. I then ripped both CDs as single WAV files and compared them in Steinberg WaveLab Elements 9.5.

As you can see from the screen shots, the waveforms are visibly different. At a minimum, the new CDs are mastered at a higher level. Looking at the 3D spectral analysis, the NCA CD appears to be attenuated in the 255-640 HZ and 640-1440 HZ bands compared to the Telarc.

Those are the facts. Now for the hunches and opinions...
I am going to have to spend more time with these CDs before I can decide whether these differences are important or not. I will update this review at that time. I rated it three stars for now because even if they were exactly the same as the Telarc CDs, they would be four star performances. I am going to do some more comparative listening and may raise it to 4 stars when I am done. More to come, but I wanted to get this review up as soon as possible to settle the question of whether these CDs were identical to the Telarc versions. They are not.

title: Positive Definite

text:
The Matrix have gone sparse lately but they sure were dominant during the Bush II years. These songs are, reportedly, tunes they saved for themselves and they are good ones. I'm not sure why the album was pulled back in 2004 but I bet there were very many law firms somehow involved. Too bad.

Most of the tunes feature the trademark Matrix production style, with buzz-saw guitars and lots of major chords. The tune Live Before I Die channels Lennon in the vocal but has some very nice Harrison-like harmonies (diminished and augmented chords). It demonstrates good songwriting growth.

My favorite cuts are Would You Care? (where Katy Perry speaks of herself in the 3rd person) and Take a Walk, both of which should/could have been huge hits. In any event, I wouldn't be surprised to see many of the tunes show up ultimately on American Idol.


title: A Great Singer!

text: I am so glad I found this wonderful singer!  Unlike many of the people "singing" today, Toney doesn't feign emotion by screaming.  He communicates a song through the power and sincerity of his emotional delivery.  I hope that other people will find this talented singer.  He certainly deserves it.


title: Great memories on CD

text: I really enjoyed hearing these songs again as I drove to work and back. A great collection of Larry Norman's classic songs!


title: incomplete release from a vinyl source

text: Yep, I grew up watching the Banana Splits.  I even sesnt off for the four song EP, which is somewhere around here someplace.  Anyhow, several have already mentioned the absence of two songs from the original Decca LP, so I won't talk about that.  What I will discuss is the ever-present surface noise on this CD.  The original two-track masters have to be out there somewhere.  Somebody needs to license them from the Hanna-Barbere library and do a proper release.  This release gets only two stars as, for me, it is only a temporary substitute until an officially licensed release is made available (if ever).


title: original hits, 5 CDs, WHAT A DEAL

text: Without a doubt, this is a VERY pleasing compilation of 1950s hits, all original recordings.  Five CDs come in a rather cheaply made cardboard box, but I cannot complain too loudly when you consider the price.  If you buy one 1950s compilation, you would be hard pressed to do better than this one!


title: Great art book! Excellent quality

text: ¡GREAT ART BOOK!!!! excellent quality, impeccable in design and images, carefully packed and wrapped, fast shipping.


title: What's to say...

text: One of the greatest female rockers of all time.


title: AWESOME music for the little ones!

text: My 1 year old son absolutely loved this video but since I don't want him to be glued to the TV all the time I bought this soundtrack and it works just the same! He seems to get on a trance when we play it, we have to have it in the car to soothe him, during the day and sometimes even for mealtimes 'cause he just does better when the music on haha! All the songs are so catchy! Their version of "Monkey Man" featuring Kylie Minogue is just adorable! and all the songs about animals make me wanna dance! RECOMMENDED. Not only your children will enjoy it, you will (and you will find yourself singing them all!) The Wiggles DID IT AGAIN!


title: George Dalaras is the Best

text: I have well over 60 CDs of George Dalaras and numerous vinyl lps.  He never fails to deliver a quality product.  When George Dalaras decides to record a song, he does it so well ... he owns it.  He is a musician's musician.


title: Huckleberry Hound LP is a blast from the past!

text: I have this LP!  In fact, the cover of mine has the masking tape across the top, too!  This was so much fun to listen to when I was a kid.  I actually have seen the episodes on TV, too.  It was great to listen and imagine the characters in the story line.  The voices jump out of the speaker and you can hear the artistry in the way the voice inflections help tell the story.  I love this comedy record.  It is still funny in today's world.


title: Five Stars

text: I loved it!


text: Decent collection of Christmas adult-contemporary songs from some CCM artists. I believe all of these tracks are available on other recordings. However, these songs work together nicely in my opinion for a mix-CD. I enjoyed getting some Joy Williams (from The Civil Wars) and Bethany Dillon.  I don't believe either of them have a complete Christmas CD to this point. I uploaded a photo of the complete song list for everyone to see.


title: Wonderful book

text: Absolutely fabulous book.  Gets you to think about how the mind really works and is very inspirational.


title: "new folk" with great vocals and subtle songwriting

text: An amazing album. Downbeat, low key, deeply probing, beautifully played. The singing by Ashley Pond is nuanced and beautiful, and her guitar work confident and right on. This isn't stuff filled with hooks, but it's also not boring pop folk stuff. You can listen again and again, and closely. Check it out.


My dad got this CD for free back in the day (mid 90s) from Macys when buying sunglasses , I got into it when looking around the house for anything beatles related and it was always in constant rotation. It was great hearing different versions while comparing to the originals.


title: Best album ever!

text: I love Lil Wayne like my brother and son combined with some ice cream on the side!


title: Two Stars

text: Skipped like crazy


title: Takes You Back

text: Katherine McPhee sings this style of music so well, and she is joined by several other excellent musicians to make for an amazing and memorable performance. Even though I am in the US and this is not for our region the Bluray disc worked fine when played from a PlayStation 4 console.

title: George Tollett (17th cent.), musician and composer

text:
George Tollett, "about whom nothing is known." is identified as the composer of "Tollett's Ground", included in the recording Division Violin, Part 1.

Irish composer Thomas Tollett had three Tollett relatives, John, George, and Charles, all of whom were musicians, according to Peter Holman in Grove Music Online.  Thomas moved to London, but the other brothers were active in Dublin between 1669 and 1683.

title: Edmund Turges (c. 1450-1508), composer of sacred music

text:
Edmund Turges (or Sturges) was born at Petworth (Sussex).  In 1469 he joined the Fraternity of St. Nicholas (the London Guild of Parish Clerks).  Other members of this guild, like Turges represented in the Eton Choirbook, include Fayrfax, Prentes, Pasche, Ludford and Cornysh.  Sturges also served (possibly) as chaplain of New College, Oxford.

His compositions are preserved in at least four different contemporary manuscripts: the Eton Choirbook ("Gaude flore virginal"), the Caius Choirbook ("Magnificat"), the Fayrfax Boke, and the Ritaon Manuscript ("Kyrie," "Gloria").  He is believed to haven been the oldest composer to be included in the Eton Choirbook.

[Some online sources state that Turges was ordained in 1550 by Nicholas Ridley, Bishop of Rochester (1547-1550, Bishop of London (155-1553), martyred 1555, but this would hardly have been possible: in 1550 Turges would have been, if not deceased,  approximately 100 years old.]

title: Thomas Vautor (fl. 1592-1619), musician and madrigal composer

text:
Thomas Vautor was a musician in the household of Anthony Beaumont of Glenfield, Leicestershire.  After the Beaumont daughter Mary married Sir George Villiers, c. 1590, Vautor filled the same position in the Villiers household.  Sir George died in 1606, but his widow, Mary, later Countess of Buckingham, lived until 1632, marrying two more husbands after Villers' death.  Sir George had described her, before their marriage, as his "beautiful, but penniless first cousin."  Their second son, also George Villiers (1592-1628), became famous as 1st Duke of Buckingham, courtier, statesman, patron of the arts, and friend of King James I.

In 1616 Vautor was granted a B.Mus. degree from Oxford University in recognition of his composition of a choral hymn for six voices.  He dedicated his collection of 22 madrigals, entitled "The First Set; being Songs of diverse Ayres and Natures (for Five and Sixe parts: Apt for Vyols and Voices," to  the Duke in 1619, noting that a number of the songs had been composed in the  Duke's father's house..

Discography:

Sing on, Sister: Songs of divers Airs and Natures: Thomas Vautor, fl. 1590-1620 (Gesualdo Consort/Rose Consort of Viols):  Brush my rude present; Cruel Madame; Dainty Sweet Bird; Fair'st Are the Words; Mira Canto; Mother, I will have a husband; Never did any more delightl; O merrily we live; Sing on, Sister; Sweet Suffolk Owl; Sweet Thief; Thou art not fair; Whilst fatal sisters; Yet love not me.

title: Thomas Warrock (fl. 1560-1590), organist, choirmaster, composer

text:
Thomas Warrock [Warrocke, Warwick] was assistant to John Bull as organist and choirmaster at Hereford Cathedral from 1586 to 1589.  In 1588 he was appointed organist for the College of Vicar-Chorals at Hereford Cathedral.  The organist and composer Thomas Warwick may have been his son. Two of his compositions (apparently the only two surviving) are preserved in the famous Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, Nos. 97-98.

The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, housed in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, represents the largest collection of British keyboard music  dating from between 1562 and 1612, including nearly 300 pieces by all the leading composers of the day, along with lesser known names like Warrock.

title: Sublimely beautiful

text:
I have been listening to this recording every day for weeks now.  The songs are unbelievably complex, varied, and beautiful, and Michael Chance sings them as if they were written just for him.  What a gorgeous, communicative and emotional voice!  The Alleluias at the end of Evening Hymn are absolutely breathtaking, as are so many other points along the way.

The songs included are: Crown the Altar -- Strike the Viol -- If music be the food of love -- In the black dismal dungeon of despair -- Music for a while -- Since from my dear Astraea's sight -- Thrice happy -- By beauteous softness -- Here the Deities approve -- O Solitude -- Sweeter than Roses -- 'Tis Natures Voice -- The Queen's Epicedium -- One charming night -- An Evening Hymn  -- (55'57, all vocal)


title: ... and the world will perish

text:
I've been listening to this recording for more than 20 years, I suppose, and it still has me under its spell.  It is entrancing, hypnotic, meditative, mesmerizing, mystical, prophetic.  There has been no voice more authentic, more human, more transfixing than that of the great Monserrat Figueras.

Even though this music is 1000 years old, it could be the soundtrack for our lives today.  "Fire will consume continents and reach the sea and heavens. ... The sun's brightness will fade and the dancing stars will die. The vault of heaven will collapse and the light of the moon go out. ... Then the mountains will be made flat like the plains. And all the blue of the sea will disperse and the world will perish... Likewise will fire dry up the springs and rivers."  And that is just the Latin. Sound familiar?


title: Quintessential Evensong

text:
Evensong must be the most quintessentially English of services, with its celebration of everything in heaven and earth that is gentle and peaceful and comforting.  This recording captures all the elements, liturgical as well as musical, beloved by anyone who has ever attended an English evensong service, and for anyone else, it provides as close an approximation to the ideal as might be possible. Evensong tends to emphasize music over the spoken word, with psalms, hymns, anthems, chant,  bells, organ works, and both choral and congregational singing.  Here also the spoken words are equally as beautiful and inspiring as the music, both in the content and in the speaking voices.

The program here is as follows:
Three minute bell; Aisle Bell; Prayers sung in the south choir aisle.
Organ voluntary: Six short pieces No. 1, Herbert Howells.
Hour chime; The preces, William Smith. Office hymn: God that madest Earth and Heaven; tune: East Acklam, Francis Jackson.
Psalm 104: Praise the Lord, O my soul.
First reading from the Old Testament: Job 28.
Magnificat in A, Charles Villiers Stanford.
Second Reading from the New Testament: St. Luke 15: 11-end.
Nunc dimittis in A, Charles Villiers Stanford.
The Apostles' Creed.
The Responses, William Smith.
The Three Collects.
The Anthem: Dixit Dominus, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Prayers and Grace.
Lux Concordiae.
Prelude in E Flat, Sir William Harris.
Prayers sung in the south Choir Aisle.
Organ voluntary: Fantasia in F Minor K594, W. A. Mozart.

Only one small piece of advice: you'll need to turn the volume up pretty high to hear everything clearly, but once you do, you can safely leave it there, as nothing is too loud.

title: swingy, jazzy, jumpy

text: I'm a fan of Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire, and this is an interesting cross between their style and the Squirell Nut Zippers. An eclectic mix of serious musicians playing not-so-serious music. The 30s-40s era harmonies  are a blast.<br />Swing on!

text: I enjoyed listening to Johnny Read CD


title: Incredible album, but...

text:
First off, let me just say that this is a great album - if you like Jewel's early music or Sarah McLachlan you will enjoy this. Susie has a great voice and is a pleasure to listen to.

That being said, be aware that the CD is dangerous if you plan on playing it via your Windows PC - it installs a hidden rootkit that opens up your PC to malicious spyware that is undetectable, even by antispyware software. There is nothing you can do - it is part of Sony's copy protection, and there is no way to uninstall it.

While normally I would wholeheartedly recommend this album, for the above reason I urge people to think before they buy - the music is great, but the potential for problems outweigh that fact. Unfortunate, but true.


title: I am satisfied

text: It came on time it's a birthday gift but it looks good


title: Another high quality drama

text: My family loves In Freedom's Cause.  It is another high quality drama that keeps my boys' attention.  They ask to listen to it over and over.  We can't wait for the next one about General Lee to come out on CD.


title: Worth the wait

text:
I've been trying to find this CD for about a decade, searching for it after it went out of print.  I'm writing to address two things:

1) Another reviewer panned this CD because, he says, Sylvester Stallone is the obvious flaw because he can't sing.  The reviewer even suggests other singers to take Stallone's place!  Well, this is a MOVIE SOUNDTRACK and we expect the leading man to be singing his songs in the CD.  Duh!  That's what the whole movie was about, turning a bad singer into a Rhinestone Cowboy.  (Loved the movie.)

2) The other issue is finding the CD.  I bought mine (11/2009) for the price of a regular CD at any music store.  The CDs here are collectibles.  Do a little online search and you might get lucky at any place where users OFFER their things for sale or swap.  Good luck!  If you like the movie, if you like Dolly Parton, or even if you just like pretty songs, it's well worth the effort.


title: Would recomment to anyone who appreciates good music.

text: Two wonderful musicians bring this beautiful music to life.  I'm a long-time fan of Jenny Oaks Baker and hope she and Jenny Richards will produce another CD.


title: Not this one!

text: I bought a NatureQuest CD entitled Romantic guitar. So, I thought this too would be just as wonderful. On several tracks the sound of a bird cawwing so loudly drowns out the music or the sound of a frog or cricket drones on and on and on. The first I bought was wonderful! This one is too aggravating to listen to.

title: Classic German Metal From the 80's

text: This is a great example of how metal evolved differently overseas as opposed to the US brand of 80's metal.  It has a good mix of all the elements that make metal an interesting form of music.  Great guitar work -- but nothing like the all-out shredder guitarists that were so common at the time.  The vocals weren't overly polished nor did they reach the realm of death metal.  Solid rhythms from the bassist and drummer.  Everything in proportion to make the CD a great listen.  This band didn't buy into all of the stereotypes and that has kept this album from seeming too dated.


title: My standard for relaxing enviro-music

text: I had this first as a tape and wore it out. I listened to it while I was in labor with each of my children, when I go to the dentist and when I get a massage. It is basically the sounds of gentle ocean waves with a haunting cello riff playing intermittently in the background. It really calms my spirit.


title: Great cd, damaged case

text: I am enjoying the cds. Jackie has a beautiful voice and this is why I gave it 4 stars. The plastic case they came in was crushed on the bottom. I was surprised that the cds weren't broken. They were very hard to get out of the case.


title: Cactus Flower Memories

text:
Bought this for a lady friend, who says it is her and Lynn on the cover and the song is about her, obviously many years ago.  I can definitely see the likeness. Although the artist took a lot of artistic discretion for both people.

How could we not like it. I do not plan to actually play it, but hold on to it for her memories. The song is on YouTube so it can be heard there.

Service was prompt and professional. Packaging was great. i would use supplier again.

title: Very disappointed, as Lisa's other albums can't compare with this ...

text: The songs are melodious and dynamic, a thrilling album!!!....But I cannot figure out why it was never put in CD form.  Several years ago, I emailed Lisa's husband who was in charge, and was told that 'Someday it would happen'....but when?  I had the cassette, but it wore out from all the playing before I had a cpu to burn a disk on.  Very disappointed, as Lisa's other albums can't compare with this one she made, and I don't want it in LP form.

text: Very soothing...


title: Works on my bass

text: These tips seem pretty good.  They're 25 mm long, end to end. The hole is 5.5 mm in diameter.  My pin is 16 mm into the bass, but has a collar, and then the point is 7.5 mm diameter, by -- something less than 25 mm long...  So, a very tight fit.  Some lube will help.  Got it almost up to the collar, and setting the bass on the tip pressed it to the collar.  I'm happy.  My old one was splitting.  And you get 4.  So assuming that this will reasonably not last forever, you have spares.  It has been in a few days only, but so far, has not split or anything...even though I am stretching this 2mm...  Works for me!

title: wonderful gift

text: I bought this as a gift for friends and they were pleased. I already had the album and have been listening to it for years now and I just wanted to share it.


title: Great

text: Clean, sharp and well played. This is a great set of the last 5 symphonies. Phillips strikes again. I am a bit of an audiophile so I am slightly bias towards the Phillips recordings as a whole and these do not disappoint.


title: if you love good music and you want to chill/rock say yeah!

text: why this album isn't available on this online marketplace is beyond me, lets be honest, this album is incredible.  if you're a fan of love cars, or dave king or anything resembling good tunage, than this is the album for you.

title: Definitely the best male vocalist on Lawrence Welk

text: I was given this album for Xmas. Tom Netherton's voice is as smooth as silk. His renditions of these songs stack up there with the artists who originally sang them and in some he surpasses there's. Sadly he went on to singing Gospel shortly after this album came out, not that Gospel is bad just not my thing. But if you want to hear him as he sounded on The Lawrence Welk show this album nails it.


title: great jazz.

text: its a fine cd and ramsey lewis is a great muscian. had been looking for his "in crowd" for some time.  found it on amazon.


title: Accomplished master pianist; inspiring.

text: I wore out my 1st cd; pleased to find an available copy as well as another cd by Enoch. Recorded words and music by Enoch with wonderful orchestra (Otis Skillings Orchestra and Sandi Patti Family). I play them frequently - quality and inspiring.


title: Perfection!

text:
Id forgotten how much I love Jackson Browne music.!! I had many of his on cassette but only recently realized that I don't have any on CD so I plan to order them all!

Jackson's voice is pure beauty for the ears. And his social consciousness is right along side mine.

Totally recommend this CD!


title: A good selection for playing in the CD in your car or for introducing a friend to Loreena's music.

text:
This CD was a special Borders (Books and Music) "Exclusive".  It is an ideal album to give to someone you want to introduce to Loreena's music, or if you are a long time Loreena McKennitt fan, to put into the CD is your car to listen to on a road trip.  Each song is from a different album, and is one of the better songs on that album.

Borders went out of business in September, 2011, and their name was sold to Barns and Noble.  The Borders store in Sacramento (where I live) didn't do a very good job of displaying Celtic Music is general or Loreena's music in particular.  The CD was released according to the "liner" notes after the DVD/CD "Nights from the Alhambra" was recorded but before it was released, however the listing on Amazon is the first time that I have heard of it.

This album isn't listed on the Quinlan Road (her production company)web site among the currently available albums.  If it becomes unavailable from third-party sellers, you might want to try "Live in San Francisco" or a "Mummer's Dance Through Ireland" which also contain a cross section of previously released songs suitable for listening on a road trip or as a way of introducing a friend to her music.


title: Five Stars

text: Great music! This CD comes with 4 tracks: Coolest and WOW WOW WOW, in instrumental and full band versions. It is expensive considering the small number of songs but I was unable to find the songs anywhere else, in digital format or otherwise so this was really my only option.


title: Five Stars

text: F yeah!


title: Vera Lynn

text: A great singer that helped the allis get through the war with a great compilation of songs from a good vender at good pricing.


title: A Travel Through the Fine Mind of Sarah Slean

text: Probably the most underrated singer/songwriter/composer/arrangers of our time.  How this woman missed being a household name worldwide is beyond me.  This is her early work.  Check out "Land and Sea", her newest album also.  I highly recommend "Universe" although the song will remain in your head.


title: An Outstanding Live CD - Edith Piaf at Her Best!

text:
Crystal clear sound quality, incredible for recordings made on March 9, 1946 and March 16, 1947.  With only a piano, and sometimes an accordion  to provide the music, Edith Piaf sings at a slower pace and you can hear every nuance of her singing, which is the absolute centerpiece of this CD and is not overshadowed by an orchestra.  By the level of applause, the performances were recorded in a relatively small venue, and you can feel the intensity Edith Piaf put into her performances.  It's like you are there in a prime seat!  My favorite of the 16 tracks on this CD is a slow, soulful rendition of J'ai dans'e avec l'amour.  I would give this CD more than 5 stars if I could!

This made in Portugal CD also includes a  booklet in English that sets the tone of the post-war 1940's musical environment and how Edith Piaf's songs and these performances fit into it written by William Hogeland.  This CD is outstanding!!


title: Strong Opening, but...

text: It starts off solid, then falls flat. I'd recommend just downloading the 4 or 5 good songs.

title: Best "The Edge" Movie Sountrack

text: This is the best "The Edge" movie soundtrack.  The music follows the movie in order of events, including all music, not just the major scores, unlike the older soundtracks of this movie.  It even has an included story book that explains the music for every scene.


title: Battery Works good for about 1 year

text: I've had this phone battery for over a year now, and the thing has worked well until now. You know it's starting to go bad when it takes only 10 minutes to fully charge. No major problems outside of that. seems relatively inexpensive to replace.

title: RICHARD BURTON SELLS HIS SOUL MAGNIFICENTLY IN THIS RECORDING OF MARLOWE'S "DOCTOR FAUSTUS"!

text: This recording is a rare opportunity to hear Richard Burton in one of the great roles of classical (not to mention Elizabethan) theater. This extremely abridged recording of the Oxford University Dramatic Society's 1966 stage production, which used the 1604 quarto version of Marlowe's play and in which Burton and Elizabeth Taylor played opposite each other (Ms. Taylor appears in spirit in this recording, as her character of Helen of Troy is spoken of and does appear but has no dialogue), focuses entirely on Faustus and Mephistophilis (so-spelled in this quarto and played by Andreas Teuber, who sounds uncannily like the late Charles Gray and reprised the role for Burton's 1967 film) and moves at a pace that is perfect for someone who is or wants to experience this play for the very first time (as I did) Technically, this is an excellent recording, and from an actor's point-of-view it is excellently performed by ALL the cast (I'd go so far as to say that this recording is superior to the film version that Burton both starred in a directed the following year).


title: Let it Overflow

text: I had this one when it first came out.  Really loved two of the cuts and am ordering it so I can play them again.  The title song is available digitally, but there is one, "Let it Overflow," that is not.


title: anti-climatic yet providing good insights about United Kingdom's Monarchy

text:
RATE: 3.75 stars

This is the shorters review (book or DVD) that I've written.  I took my mom out to see this movie cause I knew she would like it (and I haven't been to a cinema in eons).  The overdriving theme in this close-to-real-life drama, is that the anachronistic lifestyle of the monarchy, and the fight between modernist parlamentarian mindset vs. monarchial autocracy.  The purely proper British language, manners, and formalism were amusing rather.  Also, the story is centered around the time when princess Diana had her fatal accident and how the monarchy responded.  Enjoy this short drama (93 minutes).

Now I can say, I understand why the Brits say "God save the Queen!" ;-)


title: This material helped to open communication with our son

text:
I went through this material with my son last year.  Spent the entire weekend, focused on him.  Do please note, that the CD I got, needed to be played with an .mp3 player.  Appears someone else had that problem.  I picked one up at Best Buy and we got down to business.

Both my wife and I were trying to contemplate the best approach to having "that talk" with the boy and this really opened him up for great conversation, trying to navigate this pretty embarrassing task.  I believe the information taught was biblical and appropriate.  Well done!!!  Here in a year or two, we will be doing the same with our daughters...


title: Great CD

text: Love the music. This is another gift that I am sharing for Christmas.


title: THE CLONE WARS REVEALED

text:
For decades the Clone Wars, first mentioned by Princess Leia in Episode IV, have been a mythical part of the Star Wars saga, integral in some ill-defined way to the story's continuity but shrouded in mystery and rumor.  At last, George Lucas has revealed how the Clone Wars began, and how perhaps they sowed the bitter seeds for the Empire itself.
Episode II:  Attack of the Clones is near-flawless escapist moviemaking.  Perhaps the most breathtaking SFX extravaganza ever (highlights include Obi-Wan's rain-cloaked duel with Jango Fett; the whole Jedi Order hopelessly surrounded and outgunned by a relentless droid army, but fighting on anyway; and a series of brilliant lightsaber duels between Darth Tyrannus, Obi-Wan, Ankakin Skywalker, and Yoda himself), Attack of the Clones is reinforced by capable performances from a solid cast.  Hayden Christensen conveys exactly the right touches of conflicting emotions as the confused and frustrated Anakin inching ever more slowly toward the Dark Side, and Natalie Portman handles the role of a sober politician turned inside-out by unexpected love with cool aplomb.  The sudden affair the two find themselves drawn into is made believable by the actors' commendable sincerity.  But the two stand-out performers are Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and grizzled Christopher Lee as Darth Tyrannus.  McGregor clearly has a firm awareness of Alec Guiness's earlier performance and knows how to match it, while Lee's Tyrannus is perhaps the most diabolical Dark Jedi yet.  The evil he brought to the climactic lightsaber clash was nearly palpable even through the movie screen.
Long-time Star Wars devotees should have no trouble enjoying this latest entry in the great space opera, while newcomers to the ways of the Force should only find their appetites whetted for more.  A non-stop intergalactic joyride of the highest caliber, Attack of the Clones is everything anyone could have asked for...and more.

text: Beautiful songs! This album has really grown on me and I find myself listening to it more than my other Sons Of Korah albums. Although I still listen to them all regularly. All their music is beautiful. An excellent alternative to mainstream music. This is some of my favorite worship music. Turning all the Psalms into music (as they were intended) how can you go wrong?


title: Fusion Pat Martino

text: This recording features Mr. Martino in a jazz-rock musion format, one in which he did not reside for long. His best work was in a straight-aheard bebop style, but the chops are still there, and as fusion, it is excellent. Pat's later work put his guitar work front and center--just where it belongs. Jump into the joyous lake and swim along. We miss you Pat.


title: Jazz on Floyd

text:
The wondrous tunes from Dark Side of the Moon are rendered in stellar jazz form. The reharmonizations, counterpoint, and rhythmic variations on the original are superb and satisfying. Gary Husband on drums and Mr. Le on electric guitar stand out, but the whole band is tight. The female vocalist has a tough job, given the original vocals are by men, but she makes it work with her sultry but strong voice.

When jazz meets the best of popular culture, it adds a new dimension of artistic value--even if the effort itself never becomes very popular. Bravo Mr. Le and friends.


title: Not enough Hendrix

text: You can barely hear Jimi on the first several cuts. Elvin Bishop plays all the lead, and it gets old. Even "Little Wing" is disappointing, since Jimi does not sing and it is emptied of its distinctive feel for the jam setting.


title: Eclectic, interesting

text:
"Oceanarium" is a concept album with no lyrics--a bit tough to pull off! The concept is explained in the liner notes and you get a sense of it from the titles of each cut. The tunes blend into each other nicely, however.The genre is, I suppose, progressive rock, but the music draws from just about everywhere: rock, jazz, folk, and more. It usually works. No one soloist stands out, but none are lacking either. This is more of a sympathy than a platform for extended solos.

Given the complexity of the music, the listener should listen several times before making judgment. It may not grab you the first time, but it may work its way with you.

I found the sound quality to be a bit flat, not crisp. However, this does not ruin anything or prove annoying.

(I was provided with a free recording of "Oceanarium," but was expected to necessarily give it a strong review.)


title: Two, not Two

text:
Peter Brotzmann, now seventy-two, is a leading free jazz reed man from Germany, who has been on the scene since the mid 1960s. He is a titan with dozens and dozens of recordings from around the world with all manner of musicians as well as numerous solo recordings. His son, Casper, is an electric guitarist who specializes in distortion and special effects, not (say) legato runs or intricate song structures.

Taken together, this father-son team is a bit of an odd coupling--although both have played together in larger ensembles. On this CD, there are no supporting players; in fact, the Brotzmann's were not in the studio at the same time. The "togetherness" was wrought through the overdub. The effect is less than majestic, although hard-core Peter Brotzmann listeners will want it simply for his nonpareil playing.


title: A hot and young Brotzmann stretches out in good company

text:
Although this in only eleven minutes long, what an eleven minutes it is! For an early recording (1967), the fidelity is superb: all instruments are clearly heard and presented without distortion. The bass is particularly well-miked, which is rare period--and especially rare for a 1967 live performance. That is satisfying, given the talent of the man.

I prefer Mr. Brotzmann in small groups, simply so I can hear him wail, his imagination taking him wherever his indomitable and incomparable tone and technique take him. He is well-supported by equally energetic and sensitive musicians. Their cry is heard, both below and above.

I am not ashamed or worried that I spent ten dollars on eleven minutes.


title: Long Time Band mates Make More Music

text:
Mr. Brotzmann and Bennink starting playing together in the middle 1960s, as pioneers of European free jazz. They have continued to play together off-and-on for about forty years.

This set finds them in fine mettle, surging through an number of duets. Mr. Bennink sticks pretty close to his drum kit without indulging himself in exotic (and often irritating) percussion noises, as he does on other recordings. He keeps his yelling down as well. A few good yelps are fine. When he possesses the standard drum kit, he is masterful, displaying a deep resonance with Brotzmann's now fierce, not tender playing. He not only hits the cymbals and drums, but plays rims and the sticks themselves in unique and fitting ways.

Much of free jazz is without a set beat, working more in pulsations or waves than a standard time signature. This is true for some of this recording, but not all. Bennink can capture a rhythm profoundly.

As usual, Mr. Brotzmann is endlessly creative, intense, and mesmerizing on this reed instruments. If he is on a recording, I will try to find it.


title: Majestic and path-breaking

text:
This long CD (over 71 minutes) is taken from Duke's capacious "vault" of recordings not released during his lifetime (d. 1974). The band would gather between gigs to rehearse new material and rework old material before taking it on the road. Duke was the producer, unlike his "official recordings." And unlike some of the other vault recordings, this has a polished and finished feel to it, rivaling that of "Such Sweet Thunder."

The first suite was composed for a film about the painting of Degas, which was never completed. However, we are graced to have the music. It is multi-layered but unified in expression. Both the ensemble work and the solos are impeccably executed. This clocks in at over twenty-minutes and is a delight.

"The River," originally composed for a ballet, is the second suite is longer and much more modernist or even avant-guarde. It texture approaches chamber music at times and takes some wise chances with melody, meter, and harmony. It can swing, but not always. The "Whirlpool" movement is quite adventuresome. It startled and amazed me the first time I heard it, and continues to do so. I risk sacrilege here, but it reminds one a bit of some of Frank Zappa's best instrumental work.

A world with Duke Ellington cannot be absurd. This is a sufficient (but not necessary) condition for defeating nihilism. This work is objectively beautiful; created by a great soul. Therefore there is meaning and goodness in the world. Thank God.

title: One of the Best WWI Books I’ve Read.

text:
This is a fantastic book, thoroughly covering the history of the First World War (WWI) while contextualizing the war through the lens of its final hours.  Much like the war itself the last hours of the war are shown to be a time of confusion with Generals choosing to recklessly sacrifice the lives of their men with little or nothing to gain.

The author takes on the monumental task of describing this vast war as a whole, and does so in a coherent narrative form while also focusing a great deal on the thoughts and feeling of the soldiers themselves.  The author touches on all aspects of the war, the air war, naval warfare, African front, and the Gallipoli campaign, but focuses most of his attention on the western front.

The author makes the subject not only eminently understandable, but fascinating, and often heart wrenching.  He really connects you with the experience of the soldiers in the trenches.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to better understand WWI.  While there may be other books that do a good job of describing the war, this is the only one who demonstrates the utter insanity of what happened in the final hours of the war, hours that directly reflect the the problems faced in the war as a whole.

title: A Solid Follow Up To Furler's Previous Efforts

text: Peter Furler has come a long way since his days as the back up singer/ drummer for the Newsboys. This current album from the former lead singer of the Newsboys and now the lead singer of his own band - the Peter Furler Band is a worthy follow up to Furler's previous album On Fire. The lyrics are very solid for the most part with songs like "Sun and Shield," "So High," "Dare I Say," and "The High Road."  Most songs are uplifting encouraging. The music is the same fun pop rock Aussie fueled style as we have seen from Furler in the past.  There are a few tracks that are either lyrically solid and a bit shaky on the music side ("shame"), and some that are fun but not as musically or lyrically pleasing ("Right Wrong Girl"). These songs are not bad, but they are not as good as the rest of the album. I would highly recommend this album to any Newsboys/ Peter Furler fan.


title: CD in great shape!

text: Energetic God music great for energetic 1st grade grandson!! He even enjoyed the couple of calmer songs! This nana heart is so thankful!


title: Alice, Italian singer

text: Alice has a wonderful talent and it's no wonder she won music awards in Europe in the 80's.  too bad I never heard her before.  She has a complete range and a talent for music.  I wonder if she has done anything lately.<br />She's  a bit older now but that hasn't slowed a lot of other singers. Her title song Per Elisa- from the Capitol Collection is enchanting!


title: Just a reissue of previously published music

text: This album is simply a reissue of previous music from other albums. I wish I had been able to see what titles were on it before I bought it and I probably would have not spent the money.


title: Blow Your Doors Off!

text: Get ready for a sonic tour de force!  I always loved the Ronettes 'Walking in the Rain' and always cranked the volume when I heard it on the radio. Just recently I learned that 105mm howitzers were used in the recording of the origional to recreate the thunder.  One of the reviews said that the stereo recording was terrific. Enough is enough...I had to own this recording!  Upon arrival I lost no time in warming up my Levinson system and listening to cut 18.  Wow!  Even the cats levitated off the couch!  I was told years ago that Sonny Bono was a drummer before getting famous and played the drums for 'Be my Baby', but lately have heard otherwise (old wives tale/urban legand?).  I've never really been partial to the Ronettes but loved those two cuts.  Now I'm paying more attention to the rest of their material.  Two thumbs way up...


title: Incredible! Simply Incredible!

text:
Queensryche is and has been on of my favorite bands and this is my favorite of their CD's because this is an album of stunning complexity and depth.
They returned after a radio-friendly record, EMPIRE, which was also incredible, with this album. They had been touring almost nonstop, had a grammy nomination, and won and MTV movie award. But ultimately the fame, noteriety, the "Promised Land" was not as wonderful as they thought it would be. That's the albums basic concept and it goes into other more personal territory. Chris DeGarmo's relationship, or lack there of, with his father was the motivation behind the acoustic driven Bridge. Other issues such as the enviroment and global politics also show up.
Musically it's their most complex. From the acoustic sounds of Out of Mind and Bridge to the epic songs of Dis Con Ect Ed and Promised Land to the lyrical genius of DAMAGE and Someone Else, the album finds room for everything Queensryche is known for and more.

title: An overlooked superb collection of CCRs best.

text:
This brief review will not comment on individual songs, as they are all well known to Creedence fans.  I received a copy of this German collection a few years ago on the import Carrere label and was blown away over the superior sound quality of the release.  While the six disc box set on Fantasy Records is the most definitive collection of all things Creedence related, and offers superb audio quality, this 3-disc set is a more than worthy, less costly alternative.  Although it is now out-of-print, it is readily available at lower prices than the six disc set.  What does it contain?  To me, the answer is 'the songs that matter'.  That means that every studio song from the band is contained here, with the exception of the disappointing final album,'Mardi Gras'.  There are only three cuts from that album included, but they are the three John Fogerty rockers, and are the best songs from that album.

While the Fantasy box set gives the kind of sonic treatment the material deserves, this collection does not suffer one bit in comparison.  I always try to obtain the very best sound quality available, and tend to favor the Japanese high definition mini-lp releases, titles released on the sterling Repertoire label and so forth.  I have repeatedly replaced CDs of my favorite music when better sounding versions are released, so I put sound quality at a premium.  I cannot imagine replacing this amazingly clear and clean sounding release with anything else. This German-made, remastered release is a bargain that has, for some reason, been overlooked.

Oh, and for some reason the description says '18 tracks'.  Actually, it contains 58 complete tracks.


title: Wonderful

text: He absolutely loved it.


title: Irrisistable harmonies and rhythms

text: Do not pass this album by.  I bought it at the Montreal Jazz Festival when it was playing in one of the cd tents.  The singing and harmonies are out of this world and every track has an infectiously positive energy...  I bought it on impulse and am so glad, as I never would have found it again!  It's my favorite African music CD -- makes me feel so alive every time!


title: THIS IS AN ESSENTIAL CD FOR ALL SOUTHERN GOSPEL MUSIC FANS!!!

text: SORRY I NEVER KNEW YOU was the very first Gospel record to ever cross over to the Pop charts!  (Sorry Elvis)  This recording also sold over a million records which was unheard of in the Gospel Music Genre.  Naomi is singing at her very best on these songs.  This album won't disappoint.


Great condition…super fast delivery from Germany…great price…I should admit that I bought it for the graphics which are fun, and I believe this cd was only released in Europe.


title: It's another one of Cold Plays great CDs

text: I really enjoyed it and everyone who rides with me enjoyed it as well.


title: Excellent Music

text: Viva La Vida mostly


title: Who doesn't love the Doobie Brothers!

text: Great purchase! Can't wait until the next road trip!

text: I like that the soundtrack coincided with the movie which I'v seen many times. I could visualize as I'm listening.  I wish more soundtracks did this.


title: Gentle, peaceful music

text: Enchanting, relaxing music beautifully performed.  We keep it on in the background at dinner time and during the day.  So peaceful in these chaotic times.


title: A must have!

text: This is a must have for Larkin Poe fans, as it showcases the music they wrote earlier on in their career. Some songs have been re-recorded on later albums and some songs appear nowhere else. The production quality on most songs is of the same caliber that fans have become used to today. Highly recommended.


title: INCREDIBLE CD

text: If this is his sound as a young man, I look forward to hearing a lifetime of music from Ryan Young.  Wow!  It really is brilliant, gorgeous music!


title: Perfect for massage.

text: I'm a massage therapist and find this CD ideal accompaniment for massage or any form of relaxation. The instruments blend gently together, creating soft, beautiful music with a light Celtic flavor. Highly recommended.


title: Mesmerizing - A CD for People Who Don't Buy CDs

text: It's not very often that I buy music, but this CD was definitely worth it.  It's absolutely beautiful.  I usually tire of Christian CDs unless the music really turns my heart toward God.  I listened to this CD every morning for about 2 months and never got tired of it.  The lyrics are complex and worshipful, and the melodies simply take you in.  I liked the CD so much, that I bought another copy for my mother.  She found it to be beautiful and moving as well.  It says a lot that a CD can appeal so much to both 20-something and 50-something women (we usually have very different music tastes).


title: It has arrived!

title: Air fry cuts off

text:
[[VIDEOID:ae72e5db4d4bbb8c5b8e86e1563679e9]] Edit 01/18/2020
They sent me a replacement lid that was not new and it performed even worse than the previous lid.... as seen in the attached video.

Well I was super excited about this product and really wanted to love it. The air fry portion does not work unless my hand is resting in the back end for the duration of the air fry cycle. When the front and back of the air fryer are flush with the bottom, it reads as the lid is not secured and will not cook.


title: I especially like Disc 1

text: I  especially like Disc 1. Very soothing as background sound and for driving.  The other two discs I use while working the computer.<br />The supplier did a fantastic job of getting the set delivered before scheduled time.  This was the best price I had seen for an item that appears to be discontinued.  Overall, I am very pleased with the choice.


title: Five Stars

text: it's awesome...not sure the dog agrees........but easy to follow and in my voice range.  How great is that!


title: Great music

text: Ideal package if you are a U2 fan


title: Disappointed 😞

text: It only has one song that plays 3 timesa  maybe I misunderstood when I ordered it I thought I would be at least 8 or 10 different songs.i returned it.


title: Love Big Bang Theory

text: Missed many episodes so am glad I own them now.


title: John at his best

text: This goes along with the Rare and Unreleased vol 1, although songs are ones we know, the man, his soul, and his guitar, make this worth the money.  Some songs you may not have.


title: Woohoo for The Who!

text:
Who can ever say enough about the Who? I first heard my first Who as a teenager in 1967, and it was I Can See For Miles. I immediately bought The Who Sell Out, and went backwards to get the first two albums. Of course then came Tommy and Who's Next. I love them both, but Sell Out was my introduction and still favorite. I was already a Beatles and Stones fan, and though many great bands came out of the British rock scene those two plus The Who for me will always be the Triumvirate of the British Invasion.

I recently purchased a new copy and was disappointed to find that it wasn't the album I remembered. The remastered versions were great, but the "original" version of Rael just wasn't the same. I wish they had kept the album version and included the new-found "original" as a bonus track. Fortunately for me Amazon had a used copy of the old release of the CD, so now I have both versions. Thanks Amazon! Gotta have my WHO!


title: dreamcatcher

text:
This is one of my favorite cd's, I had it before I ordered this one and wore it out.
Secret Garden"is very relaxing and dreamy.  The delivery was on time and through Amazon.  I have
ordered many items through Amazon and never had an issue with any item or delivery.


title: The Essential Collection

text: The Contours Essential Collections is a great collection of this groups many hits. I also purchased this before Amazon announced its "autorip" program, and received the MP3 version with no problem.


title: FABULOUS ADDITION.

text: This is a fabulous addition to the Sarah Brightman canon of CD's.  Some new arrangements of her classics and a wonderful healthy listing of music.  Superb quality.


title: Fabulous

text: Great music from an under appreciated Motown artist.  ( another one).


title: Fun music

text: I just love Mizrahi music - it cheers and energizes me on the way to work. These are medleys, so the music doesn't get too repetitious or boring.


title: hauntingly beautiful

text:
one of the most beautiful collections of music i have ever heard.  if you like a capella music or gregorian chants, you will love this.  it is more complex and spirited than a gregorian chant, but it has a similar open quality.

i had a pirated copy, but gave it back out of guilt.  if anyone knows where i can buy a copy please let me know.

i am a big fan of Hun Huur Tu.  check out the albums that are available.  if you have never heard tuvan throat singing you are in for a real treat.


title: Great CD

text: Prince's madhouse (kind of) cd.  Its a greaz overall jazz cd with Tony M rapping on it.  The music is spot on and P even taked the lead on Johnny.<br />Its not as crazy as Exodus but it is a great cd.


title: AMAZING ALBUM

text: Bronagh Slevin has a wonderful voice, and the lyrics are incredible as well.  Although the entire CD is awesome, my faves are "Life as One" and "Flame".  If you can find a copy of this CD, buy it and share it with others!  In Fleabay you will find a few singles from the album, but the entire CD is a rare find indeed.


title: Nice easy listening music.

text: Such nice relaxing music. This is a replacement for an old one that started skipping.

text: Product is in like new condition. This seller of used CD's mailed it immediately, and the condition of the product was as advertised. A wonderful find for my worship collection. And as for Reuben Morgan and the good people at Hillsong Music, their worship music is great.

I have three of their albums that I purchased from them at Wimberley, TX Market Day Heartstrings, Silk and Steel and Days Gone By[[ASIN:B0057BJGQ6 Heartstrings : Treasures]]. LOVE THEM ALL!

The chapman stick is a very unique instrument and until you hear one played well, as this group does, You really HAVEN'T "heard it all!


[[ASIN:B008BBN2PU The Best World Instrumental Hits - James Last (2 CD Set)]]

This album really is the bes of his work, and alas, there will be no more. He passed last year (2015) leaving a great legacy.


title: It's what I wanted

text: It's what I wanted.


title: Very pleased

text: I’ve been waiting since 2007 for this. It seems to me there’s more music on this CD than what was supposed to be on the official release that never was released. It’s classic Outlaws standing shoulder to shoulder with their first 4 albums.


title: Christmas

text: Good Christmas music for the preschools


title: What a treat to myself!

text: This collection of 78s arrived a couple of days earlier than anticipated and it was impressive how carefully they had been packed in preparation for shipment. Considering that these records are approaching a hundred years in age, I was impressed at their really good condition overall. Nice variety, too, even if not every record is a perfect match to my personal musical tastes. But maybe that'll end up being only an 'up until now' case after I give them each a spin; who knows?! At any rate, I am really looking forward to listening to each and every one of these over and over again as I broaden my horizons and travel back in time to a different era in musical history. I'm so happy with these records I just might order another batch. In fact, I think I'll be making that purchase much, much sooner than later. I like these kinds of surprises! Thanks so much, Invest In Vinyls! Two thumbs up from me!!

title: Great CD with '74 hits

text: Very happy with purchase and love the songs from "74


title: Great sounding SACD

text:
This is a special release where the engineers used very high end cables and custom made microphones to record.  Very unusual even for audiophile recordings.

While the music isn't my favorite the quality of the recording is amongst the best I've ever heard in terms of instrument clarity.  If you like high end recordings you will likely enjoy this one.


title: Great CD Album

text: Awesome Upbeat music with lots of energy.  I love it!  ^.^V  I only got the CD because it wasn't available digitally but I  don't regret it

OK sound.  Sounds like the Stones as a garage band.

If you want a super live album, get Ya-Ya Out, Stones at their peak.

text: a nice collection of music from the 90's. i listen to this while driving. my wife has enjoyed this cd also.


title: MUSIC

text: LOVED IT


title: Five Stars

text: It was alot better than i thought.


title: Must Have

text: Jim Rohn is a master at practical inspiration! What I love about his teaching is that it comes from true experience. This CD set is a must have.


title: It doesn't get any better than this

text: Filling out my collection of this brand! I like them all, but the first couple cd's are the best ones


title: Unbeatable Tracks!!!

text: Oh Oh Oh This is a very dirty CD... filthy language.... absolutely inappropriate subject matter.... EXACTLY  like the one someone "borrowed" from us 40 years ago!  SO  HAPPY i found it!  I gave it to my husband for his birthday and he was ecstatic!  We love everyone... they can love as they like, love who they like... whatever.... this CD defiles them all and sounds great doing it!!


title: This is awesome music - you'll love it!

text: Amazing post-rock, shoe gaze style music by a top Seattle band. From soft ambiance to hard driving sounds each song takes you off in a new and exciting direction. Follow them on their website or see them live on tour, but buy their CDs and albums. You won't regret it!


title: Great collection

text: Great collection


title: Crashing Waves Lull Me To Sleep

text:
I love the ocean, and I live so far away from it. With this CD by Lifescapes, I feel as if I'm camped out on the beach with only the sound of crashing waves and an occasional shorebird to wash away the day's stress. The first eight songs have new age ambient music with the waves as background, and the last song is no music, but 20 minutes of crashing waves. I love it! I bought this and loaded it into my iTunes, then put it on repeat, to listen to all night as I sleep and dream of the Atlantic.

I feel this is one of the better CDs in the Lifescapes series, for what I buy them for, which is ambient noise to sleep to. If delta waves are what you need, this CD will do it for you, although I still find myself actually dreaming. At any rate, I awaken well-rested and completely dry.


title: Don White's Hilarious!!!!!!!!

text: Seller is reliable.  Product as described.  Shipped quickly and nicely packaged.  Thanks for a great deal.


title: A classic literary treasure full of the magical spirit of St. Nicolas.

text: Jan Brett captures Scandinavian reindeer in flight with illustrations inspired by this classic 1837 poem by Clement Moore. She also includes many traditional ideas of Christmas in the boarders of her pages, to be discovered by the curious. This poem marks the time when traditions of St. Nickolas transform into those of a magical Santa Claus. It is a literary classic sure to be republished for years to come.


title: Okay but missing some track info

text: Decent collection of songs although not a favorite compilation. I would not recommend because it was annoying to have no track info for the first CD--problematic if you rip the CD to play on another device. (And is "Rockin' Robin" really a holiday song?)


title: Five Stars

text: Great CD - brings back good memories!


title: Wholetones: The Healing Frequency Music Project

text: I bought three sets. The first one is for me, the second two are Christmas gifts. I appreciate the immediate delivery! I love the book, and look forward to meditating with the CDs.

Today the American highways are populated by truckers but before the trucks arrived on
the scene, goods were transported by railroad - leading to countless stories, anecdotes
and legends that have found their way into the music of the country & western, rhythm
& blues and rock & roll scenes and eventually into pop music.
There were stories about specific trains, the heroic deeds of railroaders - and the hobos,
those fare-dodging tramps who travelled the length and breadth of the country and
who were brutally combated by the railroaders and their bosses. These stories have
been compiled on this 10 CD box set - many performed by well-known stars while
other tracks are true rarities. An absolute "must have" for fans of the great music of the
1950s.


title: Perfect!

text: I already own this but wanted it for a friend--thank you!


title: Amazing how one family against unbelievable hardships stay true to ...

text: This is a story that once you start you won't want to stop. Amazing how one family against unbelievable hardships stay true to their beliefs and God never let them down. It really will strengthen your faith in a God that never fails. My faith will ever be changed by listening to this inspiriting true story. You won't be disappointed!


title: Five Stars

text: love the tunes


title: The Best Stylistics Album Ever!!!

text: For some reason I've been thinking about this album alot lately.  I've been meaning to do a little research on the internet to see if I could track it down somewhere on CD.  I tried to find it about 8 or 9 years ago, but with no success.  Imagine my utter delight when I entered the title in Amazon's search engine to see that it is available as an import.  THIS IS THE BEST LP EVER RECORDED BY THE STYLISTICS.  I remember listening to it over and over again in the 70's.  I'm overwhelmed with joy to have finally found it.  Amazon is the world's greatest internet superstore!


title: Hip-Hopping Genres.

text: A great mixture of styles, from blues to hip hop with very good jazz as its backbone. I really like "Confessions pt 2", "Hyssop of Love" and "In Your Eyes".  The album is solid and it was a wise idea to add a sax player to the group (hence the title 'IV'?).


title: Two Stars

text: Wrong group but the songs are kind of OK.


title: Finally the Te Deum in English!

text: Beautifully done! And in English. I don't know Latin. Very nice to use with my daily office.


title: Amazing Talent, Amazing Voice

text: I’ve been a fan of Paula Owen since I first heard her singing in a restaurant in Indianapolis in the early 1990s. Was so thrilled to find this CD! Now, if I could just find a copy of her “What Is This Magic” release.
