+8090	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Oh, Jeffrey, thank you for putting some soul in my Christmas.  You are the perfect remedy for singing chipmunks and out of tune sisters on badly played guitars.
+"Spectacle" and "Fall to Pieces" were the two first really good songs on the album.  "Fall to Pieces" is one of my favorite songs on the album, because it reminds of a lot of bad days I've had, and reminds me of Fuel, one of my favorite bands.  The only thing bad about these two songs is that a filler track follows it.  "Headspace" to me is a hollow head of space filling the track seven position.
+Among my favorite cover tracks are Eddie Money's "Hold On" (it wonderfully suits her vocal style), her rockin', sexy take on Greg Allman's "I'm No Angel", and the unforgettable gem "Many Rivers To Cross", which Cher sings as though she wrote it herself (she gave all of us in the audience chills when I first heard her sing it in Atlantic City - I heard her sing in a way I never heard - her true heart, soul and guts are in that song). That song, more than any other, demonstrates a Cher rarely heard on CD.

+The final surprise is the song Take Your Clothes Off leads in to - Lisa's Life Story. Apparently a one-shot improv, Frank is `spontaneously conducting' the band as opera trained singer Lisa Popeil (sister of veggiematic/pocket fisherman inventor Ron Popeil) sings her `life story'. Quite funny.
+Last night was a typical example.  I sat in the family room to read a book.  I put "Pulse" on for background music.  The book was excellent, but after 10 minutes I ended up watching over an hour of JUST the video.  This happens a lot.  The video is hard to turn away from.
+ A music education lesson happens in the track "Thirteen".  One two One two three one two three four seems almost like a tala based on the Indian idea of an additive phrase, and the entire solo is over a single chord.  Frank is also joined on stage by the Indian violinist Shankar.  Shankar's background is in the Carnatic style, which uses ragas as a source of melodic expression.  It would be interesting to see if Shankar was playing in a raga, and if so, which one.  In fact, this is something that I have thought about Zappa recently.  It is actually quite rare that we get to hear him over chord changes.  Is there a similarity between the expressiveness of raga-based music and the rhythmic displacement that they use to create tension and release in Zappa's methods of improvisation?

+The Good:
+There are four segments to this concert, filmed over several days and I am partial to the second and third parts: the blues songs and then the nine-piece band numbers. Together, they are 51.5 minutes of some of the best music I have ever heard.
+281	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Probably one of the best CD's of new Skynyrd in many years, After I heard them perform some of the songs live [Elgin, IL Oct. 2013] I went right home and bought it. NO regrets. !!!
+3661	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	perfect 10!  Pure raw electric energy from 1970, the band was at its peak and it shows, a MUST have for any Who fan.  This DVD is the best...the best!
+Adagio In G Minor is a very soundtrack-like piece with piano and string orchestra. Renegade is sort of a soprano saxophone/violin duet.
+
+Why only 4 stars then?  Its simple, production.  The drums are very muddy and basically hidden (which is a shame because Matt Sorum is amazing), there are no hints of Duff's basslines and at points I foget there are two guitarists.  The production basically made this a "Scott and Slash" show.  Still, if you're into rock n roll, talented musicians and well crafted songs and lyrics, pick it up.
+This album gives us the full range of Orbison's talent taking us to distant beaches with Blue Bayou and Leah, and to a more upbeat rock n roll with Mean Woman Blues and Working For The Man , and snow laden Christmas scenes with Pretty Paper.

+First 12 albums to be released July 31 - followed by 12 more/month for the next 5 months.
+128	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I bought this album last year 2003, after speculating for a long time on whether to get this or "The Christmas Attic." I finally settled on this and was not disappointed. Some people have compared this to a cheap rip-off of Mannheim Steamroller. Last time I checked Mannheim Steamroller was a mix of Adult Alternative, Progressive Electronic, and Instrumental Pop. This explored many different genres, but with a hard rock edge. The great thing is that even if you do not care for the genre that the song has an influence of (rock, metal, classical, and folk music just to name a few), you will still love the song, that is what is so great about this album. Do not be fooled when I say that this has a hard rock edge, because this is no Merry Axemas CD either. There is so much more to these songs than just some guy playing Christmas songs with his guitar.
+1360	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Yeah it's got all their videos, problem is: The Police didn't make really good videos.  Most of them are just them mugging in front of the camera, lip-synching the song.

+1704	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	There is nothing like seeing great blues in a small club.  Stevie has done a lot of great live work (except while in the depths of his drug abuse),  but this video is the pinnacle of what he was capable of.  This small club  in Toronto, with rowdy fans has more energy and fire than any arena,  stadium or theatre could match.
+The artwork impresses me; and the liner notes come in the form of a booklet telling us about the songs and the artists.
+Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher
+When I walked out an idea hit me - why don't I see if they have the video and try to trade it in. I went back in, extremely nervous, thinking " they'll never do this, they'll see right through me " and just went for it. I went up to the counter and made a little story that I got it for a present a few weeks ago but I saw that there was a new version and was hoping that I could change it. The girl at the till said if I had a receipt and I said " No unfortunately not." I was still nervous and I was amazed when she said to get the other video and they'd do the transaction. I was amazed, the idea worked!!!!!!! What made it seem more amazing was that the new version cost 3 less than the old one so I got 3 in discount vouchers. I was absolutely chuffed with myself - didn't think I'd get away with that one
+--Silver Springs - what can I say?  Chilling and intense.
+9948	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Label changes can create headaches not only for the artist but for the music buyer.  During Bowie's RCA years, there was ChangesOneBowie and ChangesTwoBowie.  When Ryko bought his back catalogue, (Space Oddity to Scary Monsters) a single Changesbowie CD, consisting of his old RCA singles and EMI singles came out in 1990, and this is what launched the discovery of old Bowie for me.
+So if you are a fan of British rock or a die-hard fan of the Moodies, this dvd is a must have.  Especially if you are one of the Troubadour (Justin Hayward) fans.
+8411	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Best Bowie CD ever!
+Another highlight of this album would have to be "Merry Merry Christmas Baby" by Margo Sylvia; and Jimmy Boyd's treatment of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" is a classic I could never forget--this music is all THAT good! The chorus harmonizes sweetly, too. Diana Ross & The Supremes do a fine job on "Silver Bells;" they perform this to perfection--and beyond! "It's Christmas Once Again" by Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers is very poignant; and Gene Autry's "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" leaves nothing to be desired. Another number that more than makes the grade is the rocking, positively electric "Run Rudolph Run" by the great Chuck Berry. "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" always brings a smile to my face; and The O'Jays make "Christmas Ain't Christmas (Without the One You Love)" a really special song.
+No one.
+5071	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	No surprises, just good music.  Nice to hear these two talented people together.

+For years I have heard/been told to avoid AT THE SPEED OF SOUND, because, afterall, McCartney actually 'allowed' the other members of Wings proper to have space on the album.  I'm kicking myself for being so easily duped by those supposedly 'in the know.'
+
+Bottom Line:  Just as arty as "Low" and "Heroes", but with more pop appeal relevant to more casual fans.  Probably a good starting point for those wanting to get into Bowie's music.

Now with so much great technology artsists can record Live and sound GREAT....This is a Great Live set that actually is better to watch on DVD then listen to. James and Carole are Wonderful together. I love them Both.
+Yes , it could've sounded better. But really , let's be glad we have what we have .
+2370	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Don't buy this for the spectacle. (It IS worth that investment, the video/film debate notwithstanding.) Buy it for the writing, the music, the performances, and the slice of history that never will be repeated. Especially with the passing of Richard Wright, Pulse is a monument to Pink Floyd's musicianship, their singular accomplishment as an act, and a body of work like no other.
+8646	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	The critics were wrong about this stunning album - it sounds better to me now than all those years ago. From the dramatic howling dogs introduction, through the gripping title track, Sweet Thing, Candidate, Sweet Thing Reprise and into the catchy Rebel Rebel it's a marvelous tour de force, comparable to the best work on his classic albums. I love the innovative piano rolls on Sweet Thing, and as another reviewer has observed, the bridge between the Reprise and Rebel Rebel is absolutely brilliant. Rock `n Roll with me is another powerful song while Big Brother/Chant impresses with its complex arrangement. Perhaps this album need to be assessed on its own terms, not in context of what went before or after. As such, it's a solid album with melodic songs and interesting ideas.
+8972	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	THIS ALBUM IS AN AMALGAM OF THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION WERE PLAYING IN THE LATE 60'S, IT CONTAINS AVANT GARDE, FREE FROM JAZZ, DOO-WOP, BLUES, ROCK, AND EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC ALL ROLLED INTO ONE. I GUESS IT POSSESSES ALL OF THE ELEMENTS THAT WENT INTO THE MUSICAL INFLUENCES OF FRANK ZAPPA, AND THEREFORE, COULD BE CONSIDERED ONE OF HIS MOST "COMPLETE" ALBUMS, IN TERMS OF HIS "CONCEPTUAL CONTINIUTY"- EVEN THO' THESE SONGS WERE RECRODED OVER TIME AND ASEMBLED FOR THIS ALBUM LATER. GREAT VIOLIN PLAYING BY SUGARCANE HARRIS (ON AN OLD LITTLE RICHARD SONG), & MULTI INSTRUMENTS FROM IAN UNDERWOOD. GREAT COVER ART BY CAL SCHENKEL, IT'S ONE OF MY ALLTIME FAVORITE ALBUM COVERS (ALONG WITH "STICKY FINGERS"- COVER ART BY ANDY WARHOL, "BIG BAMBU", & "CHEAP THRILLS"-COVER ART BY R. CRUMB).
+The standout among the "extra features" is the Monserrat special hosted by Jules Holland. Though the videos included in the special will be familiar to many (including "Every Little Thing" and "Spirits"), Holland's conversations with each band member are the most interesting, shedding light on Sting's songwriting process, Andy's guitar effects, and Stewart's adaptation of world percussion rhythms. Everyone also should have a copy of the Police's "Grey Whistle" performance, featuring Sting with a large pair of sunglasses (Stewart's), the remedy for hiding eyes irritated by an aerosol spray prior to performance.

+6532	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I pretty much like anything Russ Freeman. This CD is no exception. My favorite Russ Freeman CD is "Drive". This too is a fine CD.
+The video for "Don't Stand '86" is just depressing, because it was the end of them, the song was atrocious, and the video is nothing special.
+The songs with vocals are "Promises to Keep" and "This Christmas Day." The first one is about Christmas and the spirit and promise of joy and happiness it brings with them and it is also sung by a children's choir. The next one, "This Christmas Day" is a masterpiece. The song is about a man's lover that is finally coming home for Christmas. The lyrics are genious. The second half of the song is my favorite with the man singing and also female singers singing, "Merry, Merry Christmas." The mix of the two vocalists created a song that have a very big emotional impact on me.

+In the world of music, TOOL does more. Most bands record a few good tracks, and toss a load of crap in, just to fill an album. In the age of dowloadable songs, is that such a great idea anymore?
+#6 - 7.5 (f/ Danger Zone & Rappin' 4-Tay -- tight beat)
+This is one of Marcia's earliest albums, but it still sounds fresh and exciting. Rock your blues away with this or any other album by Marcia, who is brilliant at what she does.
+Better Than Drugs: Back to heavy! This one's pretty sweet, though it makes me wonder if the band has enough experience in the area of drugs to know if their lyrics are truly right.
+
+Illegal i Song-10/10:Starts off with Sorum's killer drumming and immediately Slash jumps in with a dark riff that sets the stage and Weiland comes on, and his vocals are very angry, but they soften up considerably for the chorus where his vocals sound very soulful!
+The second disc is made up of four live cuts, the first and best being classic Crossroads. But the Willie Dixon cover Spoonful is also strong, with some great guitarwork by Clapton, even if it does stretch to nearly seventeen minutes. After that comes Traintime, which features some great harmonica playing. The only problem is that the harmonica is the only sound you hear, along with a bit of ad-libbed vocal, for seven minutes.
+But if you like blues-tinged rock played by a talented band with Eric Burdon's phenomenal lead vocals then, unless you already own all their CDs, this is an essential CD. It is a fantastic collection of 1960s anthems that anyone alive then will recognize. You may not have realized that these songs were part of your life but they were. And who else could cover Sam Cooke, John Lee Hooker, and Donovan Leitch without missing a beat?
+I would have liked more of his early songs but you can't have everything.

+9185	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	While this isn't my favorite TooL cd, it is still amazing music. Out of all of their music, this cd is still full of Maynard's great lyrical symphony. Whether the song is Stinkfist,H, or 46&2, this cd is a must for any tool fan. The songs come straight from the band's hearts, making you lose yourself in their masterful lyrics. Their guitar riffs are amazing, the bass lines are great, and Maynard's voice is the best in the music industry today. Buy this cd, it is worth the money!

+In conclusion, fair enough that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear but as consumers we deserve to be given more honest information about what we are buying. Marginally better video than the original, and a botched surround mix is hardly anything to get excited about in a marketing campaign, and Howe, Squires and Dean wasted their time making the doco.  Another annoyed fan.
+The next set of tracks heavily harken back to the days of early rock and roll music with the bluesy "Darlington County" and the rockabilly-esque "Workin' On The Highway." Next up are two warmer sounding numbers, the somewhat dark "Downbound Train" and the hit single "I'm On Fire," which is among the softest numbers Bruce has laid to tape. The chilly synths on the former and the stacatto picking and warm synths on the latter truly make these songs brilliant.
+5780	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I have played this CD more than any other.  I am always in awe.  It occurs that infrequently, inspiration just rains down on some one.  I think of this collection in that way. I play a lot of bluegrass, old rock and even bagpipe music but for a nice background sound I think it doesn't get better than this.
+7946	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	"The late guitarist's last CD to be released before her premature death is her finest effort. Emily Remler's fluid technique brightens such seldom-heard numbers as Clifford Brown's "Daahoud" and her simplified arrangement of Claude Thornhill's lovely "Snowfall," as well as more relaxed tunes like "Sweet Georgia Fame." The polished rhythm section includes the masterful pianist Hank Jones, bassist Buster Williams, and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith. Highly recommended."
+And what really matters here is seeing the band. Compared to the 2003 show, which is pretty amazing as well, if slightly mellower and more mature, this early show (an abbreviated 70 minute performance from December 1972 at the Rainbow Theatre, London) shows them at their peak - at least creatively, if not personally and professionally - a mix of youthful hubris, and musical virtuosity; visionary, confident, showy and enthusiastic. As different as they all are, they all appear to be playing their hearts out. Howe is especially skilled and animated - frankly amazing, and I feel foolish to have never noticed just how much (and how well) he plays the slide guitar. And Anderson, although doing nothing much more than standing there singing, provides the glue that holds it all together. Then as now I have never been able to figure out what he is singing about, but I have never really thought it important to try. Instead I listen to the music of how he says it, letting a few key words register and take my mind with them like the abstract bits of poetry they are. And Wakeman's sequined cape is pretty cool, not to mention his array of analog instruments, and his 6 Wives solo medley is pure over-the-top keyboard wizardry that is... just so 70's. And Squire has some kind of bat wings outfit on..., while White just looks so happy to be playing!

+8616	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Bowie originally wanted to do a musical for the book 1984, however George Orwell's wife would have nothing to do with Bowie.  Thank God, otherwise we would not have Diamond Dogs.  I had always steered clear from this album because the cover, however the music inside it is amazing.  This album just rocks, especially the title track.  It just makes you feel great.  The begining has Bowie saying "This ain't rock'n roll, this is genocide"  just sends a shiver down your spin.
+Many of the songs describe wanderers--perhaps a metaphor for Bowie's philosophical wanderings?

+5331	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I just happened to luck out and find this gem that was obviously misplaced in a huge store over time. This is the CD version from the master tapes and has a ton of music not on the LP which I bought 17 years ago. The sound is superior to ANYTHING John Williams has ever done (I know, I have most every soundtrack he's done.) There are 19 tracks (74 total minutes) which are all excellent, but my favorites are "the Desert Chase", the "German Sub/To the Nazi Hideout", and "The Warehouse" which recall three of the greatest moments of the movie. I now realize what a steal this was judging by the number of people who've asked me to sell it. If you ever see one, PAY WHATEVER! I would never sell this. Hopefully they'll re-issue it on the 25th anniversary of the film for you soundtrack hunters. It also includes a cool booklet with liner notes, photos, & sketches!

Ali is an amazing music producer and Phife n Q are awesome lyricests.  Something I enjoyed about this album is the fact that they balance out the songs from "Phife breaking his own single" to "Q Tip breaking his own single vers" and then songs like "Clap your Hands" and "God Lives Through" where they both spit out there vers's..It's just an incredible album not to mention this has alot of stand out tracks such as "Clap Your Hands" "Sucka N*gga" "Midnight" "Electric Relaxation" "Steve Biko" "8 million Stories" "God Lives Through" and "Award Tour"...

+5673	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	There are some things I'll just never understand about Paul McCartney & Wings At the Speed of Sound. Like why Silly Love Songs is so often cited as an example of Macca's post-Beatles "mediocrity". What is it? Is Paul's golden vocal on the instantly memorable tune, or the ingenious harmonies and countermelodies over it? Perhaps it's the polished production, with the strings and the brass and that phenomenal bass-line simply bursting out of the speakers. I've got it! It's because the lyrics are simultaneously heartfelt and so deliciously ironic that the critics missed the point by a mile! Or not. I don't know, and maybe I don't want to.
+The bonus tracks are the A side and B side of the single that came out between this and his first record. Both are good songs that fit in well with the rest of this record and it's lovely to have them on board. Ram on, Paul.

Plus there refusal to support it makes me want to pirate the album instead of buying it. It makes it harder to get there album and it's not like I can't turn this album into mp3 files and put them up for download and someone already did that so they are fighting a lost cause. Other then that I did buy this album(Probably 6 times in my life) just to have a source disk to rip mp3s from to my phone. I like to have 320kbps rips and this is one of my favorite albums. I actually heard Tool first on Beavis and Butthead. Lol. I love every song on this album. I love how they emphasize the bassist over the guitarist. The bass is the star on a lot of these albums with the guitar in the midground and they do a great job with it. The vocals are outstanding. Maynard is an amazing singer! The drums sound great as well. My favorite music is fast heavy metal but a couple bands from this era stood out a lot for me. Tool is one of them and this album is one of there best. They need to give in to Spotify and iTunes though. Hopefully Tidal(A hifi streaming service I use) to.
+What is the point. Just be thankful you had the mind to hear it.
+Here the selections range from 1956's In The Still Of The Nite by The Five Satins and The Willows' version of Church Bells May Ring, to 1964's California Sun by The Rivieras.

Carlos' magical guitar on "Smooth" blends perfectly with Matchbox 20's Rob Thomas's superb voice, and "The Calling" with Eric Clapton is superb. This CD was well-deserving of its Grammy nods, and the only pity is that it took the music industry so long to reward such an exceptionally gifted artist. I thought "Abraxis" would never be equaled, but this "Supernatural" perhaps surpasses. Enjoy!
+Before the intro of "It Had To Be You," Mr. Bennett told the audience that he once asked Johnny Mercer from Savannah, Georgia (one of my favorite lyricists) what his favorite popular song of all-time was and he replied "a wonderful song written by a colleague of mine, Gus Kahn of Chicago - It Had To Be You." It's also one of my favorite standards.

Able to garner some fabulous stars via hr celebrity icon status, Judy's shows were a potpourri of old and the new, the standards and the innovative, merging together for one enjoyable ride. This is clearly evident in her "The Christmas Show" episode from the series, released on DVD.

+Set Me Free-10/10: Starts off with a crazy riff from Slash that's followed up by Duff's bass line and Sorum's drumming that sets the stage for Weiland's vocals, that sound almost like B.B. King surprisingly! The song picks up to become one of the hardest and fastest, so don't fret! Good chorus, and Weiland finds his normal voice for it. Inspired lyrics!

+John Lennon used his fame and notoriety to popularize a small, cult-ish part of music. This and other Lennon-Ono collaborations accordingly made the emergence of groups like Sonic Youth possible and stretched the boundaries of music. That said, it doesn't make sitting down and listening to this album any easier.
+Part of the reason ,I believe ,is the drumming of Alan White who seems content to plod along behind the band with little  sense of purpose and no urgency at all. A great drummer knows when(and how) to drive the other musicians to that moment and beyond( can I mention Bill Bruford here?).

The way that Peter and co.  present their show is incredible. You feel the energy of those people  whilst performing, glowing of your screen. They LIKE what they are doing  and it shows! Every track is outstanding but my personal favorite is In  Your Eyes. I wish they would make a DVD from this one.
+One warning - some DVD-Audio players require the use of a video monitor to enter menu items before this disc will play.  These older players also play the record company's logo (commercial) prior to the music.  Newer players, such as the Pioneer DV-38A do *not* require the use of a video monitor - just hit 'play' and the music starts (no commercial until the end of the disc).
+For those of you who are fans of "Dark Side of the Moon", this video plays the entire album in a mind-boggling and stunning display of lasers, lights, incredible stage presence and artful playing by the band. Dave Gilmor, lead singer and guitarist has a commanding stage presence, and plays magnificently in harmony with Rick Wright on keyboards and Nick Mason on drums and percussion. Roger Waters is noticable by his absence, although in  tribute, there is a great version of "The Wall".
+
+"Pretty Maids All in a Row". This one I've come to like more recently, and since watching "Hell Freezes Over". It's something that stands apart from Joe Walsh's other songs with James Gang and solo (DO get James Gang, "Barnstorm" and his 70s era solo CDs). His unique voice singing over the Eagle's harmonies makes the song even more touching.
+From the beginning notes of "Camarillo Brillo" to the fade-out that ends "Montana," "Overnite Sensation" is one very enjoyable, vintage recording.
+4856	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	As a longtime fan of Yes, I am pleased that after 30+ years we finally have a superb concert video of the band. Taped originally in HDTV format, this DVD is a special treat for those viewers who have a progressive-scan  (480p) DVD player and an HD-ready television. The video is brilliant and  sharp, and the Dolby Digital 5.1-channel sound mix is exquisite. Each  instrument can be heard in detail, which, considering the prodigious  musical skills of each band member, is a real listening pleasure.
+If you've never heard of Self, buy this album.  It's well worth it.  If you HAVE heard of Self, you've probably got it already, and for those of you who HAVE heard of Self, good luck finding "half-Baked" and "gizmodgery."  I've come to find that most people who buy this album end up fanatic like me...
+As I said before, the only reason I'm giving this DVD a four star review instead of five is because of the two boring Jon Lord songs that open the disc. I think it would have been better if they had started out with a few Purple songs, then the Concerto, then more Purple material to wrap up with. Maybe they could have stuck the songs the songs featuring Miller Anderson (WHO IS Miller Anderson, anyway?!), Sam Brown and Ronnie James Dio in the middle someplace, but I think it was a bad idea to start with them.
+Currently I am playing in a band that does this kind of music and so it also serves as a learning tool. The drumming is superb so it's very helpful.

+I was 8 years old when it came out before turning 9 years old that same year. The album cover was an incredible work of art with all the hip-hoppers in there. It was dope and amazing! That album was more incredible more than their The Low End Theroy album. Q-Tip makes the beats terrific and hype because I want to give mad props to Q-Tip, Phife, Ali, and Jarobi (who is MIA since People's Instinctive Travels days) did their thing on this 3rd album! 93 was the year with the Wu-Tang, De La Soul, Onyx, Naughty by Nature, Boot Camp Clik,Redman, Snoop Dogg, you name it. My favorite is 8 Million Stories in which Phife was so stressed out badly in life for what he's been through. That's my fav song of what i can related to. Sucka #!&$^ is my favorable joint is where i see when gangsta rappers was spreading around the nation with their own songs for example. It's better then The Low End Theroy though. This album is the B.O.M.B!! I like We Can Get Down and loved the samples from Rakim and Bill Cosby. I'll say this is masterpiece!!!!! Clap Your Heads, Keep it Rollin', The Chase, God Lives Through and my favorite LYRICS TO GO!!! BOOOMMMM!!!! That album saved my life for the better. Midnight Marauders reached its peak pre-Beats,Rhymes, and Life. Awesome lyrics, mad flow, mad lyrical skills, jazzy flavor, sound of groovy jazz, and incredible beats that i loved by the Tribe boys. Electric Relaxation was my joint of all-time. PERIOD! I'm still waiting for their new album in the future. Good Work A Tribe Called Quest!!!!!!!
+The album's instrumental tracks are more plain in their evocations, since they each seem to capture a specific frame of mind. The entirety of side two is instrumental, as are the opening and closing tracks of side one, putting heavy emphasis on atmospherics over literacy. I don't intend this to sound derogatory to either party (although both might consider this objectionable), but Low's instrumental tracks sound as though they would provide perfect accompaniment to Walt Disney's Epcot Center, especially in the morning near the arrival gate, or later in the evening after the fireworks display, as people wander back to their hotel rooms. I mention this because I want to point out the universality of Bowie's instrumental music, and its ability to capture the imagination. Rarely is music so provocative and yet so peaceful at the same time.  A  Tom Ryan

+The score is complete to the movie, save for the ending of the police station sequence. Highly Recommended.
+785	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	The most obvious comparison for this band is to Audioslave, the other supergroup to form recently.  This is necessary because Audioslave set a perfect example of what a group like this should be, while Velvet Revolver failed.  Where are Scott Weiland's deep vocals from STP?  Where are Slash's amazing riffs and solos?  They get lost in the confusing assault of sound on this album.  They were too ambitious in trying to create a new sound.  They should have done what Audioslave did in taking the amazing music of RATM, and combining it with Chris Cornell's vocal and songwriting talent, and not trying to fuse them together until they find the right sound, which they clearly did.  Contraband is a mess of noises that don't really seem to flow together, but there is so much potential for this band.  By the way, does anybody else notice that "Dirty Little Thing", and "Sucker Train Blues" are almost the exact same song?

+Though the album may sound slightly more dated than her other solo-albums, it's still a great album.
+Though less glitzy in terms of camerawork, fans should appreciate this for the music.  Rarities like "Dragon Attack"; "The Game" and "Under Pressure" - sung in an earlier style - appear here. In other words - songs which haven't been released on any live CD.  Traditional favourites are all here for the most part - "Now I'm Here"; "We Are the Champions" etc - the show incorporates Queen's late 70s set with early 80s hits. The emotional high points are splendid versions of "Somebody to Love" and "Save Me" - worth the price of admission alone.

+By 1967 Eric Burdon & the Animals were clearly into their psychadelic phase (if this were an LP you would think it was time to flip over to the B Side).  "San Fransiscan Nights" (#9) was the last Top Ten hit for the Animals, followed by "When I Was Young" (#15), and then in 1968 "Anything" (#80), "Monterey" (#15), and "Sky Pilot (Part One)" (#14), and "White Houses" (#67).  The album ends with a radio edit of "Spill the Wine" as a sort of musical answer to the question, "Whatever happened to Eric Burdon?" after the group essentially broke up in 1969.  So, overall, "Retrospective" does have all of the group's hits, at least those defined by making the Billboard singles chart, which explains why I have started listening to more of their songs than the big three.

+Tiny Dancer is the best-known song here, but it doesn't really fit with the rest of the album, particularly when compared to the better tracks (I'll get to those). Next up we have Epic #1, Levon, a song about a rich man and his kid. Levon is a great song and the third best on the album. Razor Face is also pretty good. Madman Across the Water...whoa. This one just blows me away. A pitch-black tune from the perspective of a madman, it's got everything that makes the album great; the lyrics, the piano, the strings...yeah, this is my favorite EJ tune. Following Madman is the album's second-best song, Indian Sunset. Sang from the prespective of an Indian warrior whose tribe is about to die. Building from near-silence (it starts with just Elton singing) to an intense, orchestrated climax. Purely moving, it's just a Western waiting to happen.
+2649	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Yes, as it has been mentioned in many of the other reviews, the Dirty Mac's performance of 'Yer blues' is STELLAR.  I have never been to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, but they should play a non-stop reel of that badboy on a big screen in the lobby.  Pretty amazing, and the song takes on a whole new life with Mitch Mitchell on drums-I'd take him over Mr Starkey any day.
+1206	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I'm actually new to Skillet, and I think that previously they showed promise with some excellent songs, and some almost there songs. Well, Skillet is really cooking now! They got the mixture of ingredients and spice just right. This album is hot! The beat is awesome, lyrics meaningful, and the tunes and rhythms change enough to keep you constantly fed, if not delighted.
+Giving Foxy coordinates to Galaxy Bubblegum was a choice move, although it probably alienated her early fans, who warped away from her.  Yet the UK Top Five "Naughty Girls" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" shows that was far from the case, as she probably gained a new audience.  This outdoes Touch Me as she easily acquits herself on the new material.  The next album would be even better!
+Why don't they compile all 9 of the Reprise Collection Sinatra TV specials in a 3-DVD package with 3 specials per DVD? Price it at about $40-$50, include some bonus goodies (there must be hours of stuff in the vaults... better go with 4 DVDs!) and give this material the deluxe, classy treatment it deserves.

On Fire mirrors that philosophy. two of my favorite songs are on here are All Fired Up and Hit You Where You Live. another Petra album I recommend is Unseen Power, which is also in my collection. R.I.P. guys-you deserve that retirement.
+2035	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Excellent. Thx!
+  The title song is the prime example. It's big,pounding and very patriotic sound of course but WAIT.........it's about a vietnam vet exploited by his own country. Heard it before but almost everyone mistakened the very pro labor democtratic (and libral) Springsteen's anger in this song as representing pride in his country. After that though the album mainly becomes a lyrical continuation of his character sketches to a degree. So he'd gone from wildcat teens to dispirited blue collar workers and back again. Now we had his set of characters resigned to a certain degree of nostalgia and trying to make the best of "regeanomics" as it were. This is done with one spirited,classic rock n roll song after another on "Cover Me","Working On The Highway","Downbound Train","No Surrender","Bobby Jean", and "I'm Going Down". These songs have all of The Boss's classic ingredients-the enthusiastic rocking and rolling,some soulful sophistication with a drop of mid 80's slickness added for good measure. On the more somber "Darlington County" and "My Hometown" you again here a little regret in with the folksier music. The unemployment and the realities about the past,especially racism are all explored as revived present tense events here. Kind of "it all comes back around" stories to a degree.
+7690	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Field of Dreams is one of those movies that you remember long after you see it. It's so different and heartwarming that you just can't help but smile at it. James Horner's score for the movie is also different and heartwarming, and is a unique effort for him.
+9. Caruso -- WOW!!! This is one of my favorite song Ive ever heard. The lyrics are SO sincere that it would move u to tears, and very beautiful melody that suits the lyrics mood really well. I've heard 15 versions of this song, I think Bocelli is the most passionate version Ive heard, Pavarotti's version sounds the best, and original Lucio Dalla's version sounds closest to the world of lyrics itself.
+7406	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Midnight Marauders, A Tribe Called Quest third release and there seemed to be no slowing down the trio as hip-hop/rap's elite.  Their tunes were still focused on a jazz/hop mainstream production by the Quest as the previous releases and they didn't leave their core fans in the wind.  Phife gave his problems with his natural flow on "8 Million Stories" produced by Skeff Anselm.  Q-Tip grasp for your attention on the solo, two verse, which happen to be the same one repeated, "Sucka Nigga".  As "Midnight" comes to play with the crisp sounds and style of the Tribe as listeners succomb to their elements of comfort with a little "Electric Relaxation".  "Oh My God" has Busta Rhymes featured yelling out the hook.  "Keep It Rollin'", the other tune not produced by the group, but proves to be effective with the help of featured artist Large Professor as he gave them a banging track that fits the title.  "...Queens represented, buy the album..."

+First thing you notice is that the rear sleeve credits "Masters Of War (Old Masters)" as a 'Bonus Track' - which is both right and wrong and needs some explanation. Recorded across five sessions stretching between September 1969 and January 1970 - original pressings of the "Leon Russell" LP hit US shops 23 March 1970 on Shelter SHE 1001. American First-Issue 'Monarch Pressings' and British A&M issues (June 1970 in the UK on A&M Records AMLS 935) had 12-tracks - 5 on Side 1 and 7 on Side 2. But later reissues on Shelter SHE 8901 (probably pressed around Autumn 1970) had only 11 tracks - withdrawing the 1:20 minutes of Bob Dylan's "Old Masters" originally slotted in-between "Prince Of Peace" and "Give Peace A Chance" as Track 3 on Side 2. The album stayed as an 11-track version thereafter. It's said that because Russell did the short Dylan cover in the style of the American Star-Spangled Banner - it caused offence in certain quarters and was given the axe. Hence TRS can technically call it a Bonus Track.

+The total practice time for this routine (minus primers) is 1 hour, 16 minutes. Included is a Breath Primer, which is new footage to this release but is similar to prior DVDs in which Ana reviews both long deep breathing and BOF. Also offered here is the Cobra/Backbend Primer, which I found a bit odd: it starts showing a static photo of Ana while providing cues for proper setup of cobra pose, and although there is brief live footage showing Ana moving into cobra, the segment concludes with another static shot of Ana holding the posture.
+Highly recommended
+Having seen the Dead in a number of venues, from the Palladium to MSG and Nassau Coliseum, it was a real treat to see them at Radio City. But on top of that, hearing them play acoustic sets, the first time they did so since 1970, and pretty much the last time ever, was awesome. While the band phoned in a lot of the electric stuff - you can see from the songs on this DVD that the setlist was pretty sedate, with no real jamming - they were on when they played the acoustic sets. The Reckoning album is certainly one of the best live Dead albums, and the re-release with a second disc is even better than the first one, which I had on LP back in the day.

Incredibly, the man`s vocal ability is undiminished. He simply milks song lyrics for all they`re worth, and--like many times in the past--the lyrics are his own.  Bonus: he`s not the only star on the new CD.  The many sidemen--including a horn section, in case you`re wondering--are simply terrific. Great arrangements. Photos show Eric in all his mature, strong, been-there-but-comin` atcha glory.  And he sounds that way, too. Magnificent.

+I saw the Ensemble Modern (conducted by John  Adams perform some of this music at Chicago's Orchestra Hall in 1996. It  was a great program (Zappa, Varese, Adams, Nancarrow...) and a great  performance, but what was really amazing was how genuinely worked up the  audience got over even the most challenging of the Zappa pieces. I've never  seen so enthusiastic a reception to this kind of music before. Their  rendition of "G-Spot Tornado" was so powerful that the audience  demanded they play it again. Listen to it on this CD and you'll know  why.
+This album shows that you can love Billy Joel, Elton John, Phil Collins and Genesis, and a lot of similar artists as Bruce, but only Bruce has the possibility to provide sweet subtle tunes (I'm On Fire) on the same record as garish, over-the-top shouting and puffed-up vocals (Born In The USA).  His E Street band has the right idea and provides a fairly subdued performance behind "The Boss." But no one can erase this record from history as very well produced and very well conceived.

The between song banter also has its moments (keep in mind this banter was never meant for fans' consumption since it was intended for a  TV music variety show).

The song selection mixes several hits with well chosen album cuts, much to the listener's pleasure.

+Still, all in all, this album is definitely better than "Wild Life" which was McCartney's absolute disgrace. In addition, we hear the rudimentary beginning of Denny Lane's possible solo career. Surprisingly, his two songs on the album sound much better than all of McCartney's songs. I'll give this album two stars instead of one.
+The second element is the Velvets' musical roots in simple 50's rock'n'roll. Jonathan has caught that sound beautifully on this album, in all its lo-fi glory.
+Remastered by DENIS BLACKHAM at Skye Mastering in Scotland - the audio quality is truly spectacular - warm, present and full of details you haven't heard before. And when there's hiss present like on the epic slow builders "Stealin' Time" and "Whatever's Written In Your Heart" - it hasn't been engineered out of existence - it's been allowed to breath. After the squashed grooves of the overcrowded 50-minute-plus vinyl album and the dullard EMI CD that's been on the marketplace for decades - every track suddenly feels like a revelation now.

The greatest compliment I can pay Gerry, is that he is the British equivalent (Sorry, might be Irish)of, Jackson Browne, a truly magnificent performer, delivering a truly magnificent album, reminding me a bit of the breakthrough album of George Harrison's, Cloud Nine.

+First of all, I never knew that the Police had such a large collection of music videos.  Of course most people have seen "Every Breath You Take" and "Wrapped Around Your Finger" at sometime or another, but I had no idea they'd been making them as early as their debut album.  I'd say each one is very enjoyable and humorous in its own right ("Invisible Sun" is the only video that the group intended to be very serious, in its portrayal of the British-Irish conflicts).  My personal favorite is "So Lonely," which features the group walking around talking on handheld radios and Stuart Copeland irritating everyone by hitting every object he saw with his drumsticks.  Classic.

+Following this, Dio and Morse both leave the stage, and the remaining three members of Purple and Preskett, plus the infamous Kick Horns (who ruined many a classic song when they toured with The Who in 89) tear into the classic Purple instrumental Wring That Neck. I suppose if this was someone else paying tribute to Purple, I'd regard this as a great arrangement, but I was expecting to hear Steve Morse play on this track. Like I said, it's a good arrangement, and I suppose the band gets points for trying something different.

It was clear that kelly was going to be a major star, as he sung, wrote, and produced every track except "hey love". For all of his efforts, he was pleasantly rewarded, reeling off an unprecedented FIVE hit singles including the new jack staples ("she's got that vibe", "hey love"), and the flawless ballads ("slow dance", "honey love", "dedicated").
+If the lyrics on side one were minimal, having more or less discarded narrative, on the second side they were banished altogether for a startling eerie and wordless, largely instrumental handful of atmospheric longer textural tone poems, of which Warszawa is the centre-piece. They possibly comprise Bowie's strongest album side. Though sounding initially dark and sinister because of the (then) unfamiliarity of the sounds, they are intended to be glowing and spiritual, a positive source of regeneration and optimism, that grew out of his impressions of the Eastern bloc, though it was to be another duo-decade before the Wall was to go. Weeping Wall, despite its title, was originally intended for the soundtrack of the film The Man Who Fell To Earth, and the album cover is a still from that film, depicting Bowie as Newton, in profile (Low profile).

Just listen to the 30 second trials of each "song" on this montage of horror. Don't give Yoko any royalties for this piece of garbage. How bad is this cankerous ode to banality? It is as meaningless and senseless as John's tragic death. Enough said! Yoko, how do you sleep?
+I can say is that this version of High Hopes is even better than the original one.
+As good as the individual Eagles are as lead vocalists, they seem to be even better as background singers. In fact, when I think of the "classic" Eagles vocal sound, I think of their background harmonies, whether it's Meisner's soaring high-harmony or Henley and Frey's vocal blend, which seems to take on a separate voice all its own (for a great example of this on a non-Eagles track, listen to Dan Fogelberg's "Someone's Been Telling You Stories").

One, on WYWH, I could hardly hear Mr. Gilmour's voice during the part where he sings with the guitar; that could perhaps have been mixed a bit louder.  The second...I'm afraid I will be skipping the first Comfortably Numb with Robert Wyatt; I didn't care for the singing, and I don't think the musicians responded to him nearly as well as they did to Mr. Geldof, so this version lacked the energy the second one did.

+Taken on its own terms, there is not a bad song, because every moment on the album is full of Paul's whimsy.  I'll take Paul's whimsy any day before George's self-conscious spirituality or John's self-conscious indignation.  Frankly, this makes me feel better, and that's what music is supposed to do, when all is said and done.  That's what makes Ringo such a good album; nobody mistook that album for the next big artistic statement, and it holds up nearly as well as Ram.  In the end, though, it's McCartney's overall musicianship, songwriting, playing and production that makes Ram not only autobiographical (this is Paul, fully revealed, at that point in his life), but also a musical masterpiece.  Make no mistake, it is no less than that.

+Other highlights include 'Hush', an intentionally simplistic rant against censorship of all forms, 'Sweat', shimmering with dreamy water imagery and brick heavy, and the aformentioned 'Part of Me' in which Maynard reflects on a damaging, almost symbiotic relationship.
+8977	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	In order to fully understand AEnima, you must realize that it is more than just an album; it's a work of art.  That being said, I will continue with my review.  AEnima is a great collection of music from Tool, and it harbors some of their finest work.  Songs like "Stinkfist", "Eulogy", "Push*t" and the  explosive and undeniably classic "H." are all great compositions that express what the band is all about: powerful instrumentation (especially the percussion), breathtaking vocals, and cryptic lyrics that actually make you think.  Then of course, there's AEnema, in which Maynard expresses his distaste for L.A. in a not-so-subtle manner.  Although this song is not as deep as its counterparts, it's still a great piece of music.  The Cd is not perfect and has its flaws, such as the fact that nearly half of the songs on the album are either intros, outros, or filler tracks.  Also, the song "Third Eye" is an example of too much of a good thing: it's got a great melody, but it's just too long.  Despite this, AEnima is an overall great Cd and deserves five stars.

+6671	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	If you were around in the late 70's and were within earshot of rock and pop radio, you heard the Eagles' 'Hotel California' and if you've listened to classic rock radio since then and till today, you are familiar with this album many times over, possibly even sick of it (as you might be with Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours', Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side of the Moon' and most of Led Zeppelin), as you might be sick of Eagles music in general.  However, just this Christmas day, I was with family, and the household happened to have a superb DVD/Dolby surround setup and the man of the house received the DVD-A of 'Hotel California' as a gift.  He put it on, and I was there to experience this already time-honored album in glorious multi-channel surround sound.  If you thought you've heard enough of the Eagles' best album, you ought to give this a chance -- the classic title track alone makes it worth the purchase.  You will hear cymbal swells, guitar parts separated and panned, vocals and all that is the musical brilliance of this album as you never have before.  "Wasted Time" sounds so good it will make you weep (this was always one of my favorite Eagles album tracks, as is "The Last Resort", also benefitting from the DVD-A treatment) ... highly recommended for Eagles, classic rock, and music fans in general needing to hear how good either the DVD-A or SACD format can be.
+ Budgie also specialized in wonderful album and song titles. As well as the ones on this album, there was also "If I was Brittania I'd waive the rules", "Impeckable", "Nude disintegrating parachutist woman" and "Hot as a dockers armpit".

There's the summer of '63's "You Can Never Stop Me Loving You" and from a year or so later, a song from prolific songwriter/singer John D.

Apocalyptic Love continues in the Slash tradition of powerful melodies, energetic solos, and memorable Riffs.  One of the songs from the album "Anastasia" really demonstrates the musical diversity that makes up Slash's signature style.  Myles Kennedy sings on the entire album, to my great delight.  He brings the energy of Axl with the non-falsetto range of Plant, in a stunning performance.  I was glad to see Slash include him on the entire album.  Apocalyptic Love is reintroducing Rock n Roll to a society that has become apathetically accustomed to basic power chords and blaze' vocal performances.  Add this to your collection.

Crowe as the leader and banjo picker, Tony Rice as the lead singer and guitarist, Ricky Skaggs on tenor vocal, mandolin, fiddle, and viola, and Jerry Douglas on dobro, this edition of the New South had four legendary performers (Bobby Slone is no slouch, either; he just isn't a legend).

Bono's theatrical mode is in full swing as he starts off with Zoo Station and the first songs in character as The Fly with those very cool sunglasses and ends the concert with the surreal Mephisto.

I have no problem with paper cases IF you are able to extract the CDs without tearing the paper case. I was not able to do so. This could have been easily avoided IF it had been produced with a heavier paper stock and the opening had been slightly larger to house the CD. I had to repair the case with shipping tape. I also placed the CDs in a Japanese produced thin plastic liner sleeve. These make it easier to extract the CDs as well protect the CD from damage while sliding them out of the case. These are standard on all Japanese paper sleeve releases and are totally absent on those produced domestically. The Japanese give CD products the care they deserve. The sleeves only cost a few pennies and enhance the value of the product.

Moreover if your looking for this album you'll find it under R.Kelly. But what matters is what this album said about a particular type of music. When a vetran "legacy" act such as EWF,Aretha Franklin and...yes even the Godfather himself James Brown tried to go at the modern new jack swing hip-hop/R&B hybrid in the late 80's/early 90's the results were,at best uneven and at worst plain embarrassing. The speed,drive and enthusiasm inherant to this newer style was far better and very innovative in the ends of it's innovators. And among them were people such as Teddy Riley/Guy,New Edition,Keith Sweat and R.Kelly. These people were all singer/songwriter/musicians who baught all their talents in those areas to advancing this new hybrid genre. Most of them did so in the late 1980's. R.Kelly however started shaking his groove thing at the start of the new decade. So this album title was the truth,not hype.
+Of the two new songs, "Licence To Chill" fits more in the dance pop category, and is a close cousin to "Get Out Of My Dreams."  Mutt Lange's production touches are evident here, particularly in the anthemic refrain:  "Yeah Billy, yo Billy, way to go Billy."  Ditto for the funky masculine bed-hopping of "I Sleep So Much Better In Someone Else's  Bed."  I can't hardly imagine someone like Ocean singing something so sexist, but that aspect of the song is given by the Fresh Prince portraying the smooth-talking cad and Mimi the put upon woman in a typical lover's quarrel.

+Why do I give 4 stars then?  Well, it's a fun CD to listen to, but it's too simple (songwise).  However, since this is Velvet Revolver's first CD it needs to get an audience and fans.

(Songs like Civil War, Estranged, etc.) I hope that on the bands next CDs they can make songs with more complex structures and more powerful lyrics.  But I would definitely buy this CD.  Just put it in the car, and crank the volume up!
+Besides this there is also a fine documentary made by Bolan's son Rolan in which he interviews many of the participants to the spectacle; the interview with Tony Visconti is the most illuminating, and it is also of interest to see what Bolan's 29-year old son is like these days.  Then there's more outtake footage of the "Tutti Frutti" and "Children Of The Revolution" sequences with Elton, and perhaps the icing on the cake: a long-lost film of one of the earliest Tyrannosaurus Rex performances from the autumn of '67, performing "Sarah Crazy Child" in what looks like London's Middle Earth club.  This footage is absolutely priceless to Bolan fanatics like myself; the cool beatnik/hippie atmosphere, the liquid light show in the back, and the scant but mesmerized audience all bring one right back to those heady underground days.  People like Tony Visconti and John Peel knew that Bolan was a star from the moment they met him; watch this footage and see if you can see the star quality in the making...

+Diamond Dogs is too schizophrenic, so the album suffers. Since Bowie expends a great deal of energy trying to develop a theme that never gels, two straight-ahead rock and roll numbers ("Diamond Dogs" and "Rebel Rebel") have the burden of carrying the entire album. They aren't enough. The "Sweet Thing/ Candidate" medley is the only other musical offering on side one; It takes him minutes, but takes us nowhere. The same goes for side two's "Big Brother" segment. "Rock and Roll with Me" is as close as Bowie has ever come to writing generic material, and "We Are the Dead" is lifeless, which leaves "1984" to carry the entire second half of the album. Even this is greatly disappointing, though, especially since it was drastically edited from the ten-minute centerpiece that it had become in recent live (and televised) performances. Why spend so much time and energy introducing your audience to something if you aren't going to utilize it on your album? It is questions like these that remain unanswered, and it is reasons like this that make Diamond Dogs seem so inconsistent, schizophrenic, and confused.  B Tom Ryan

The original quintet's string of hits focused on grit-saturated covers of folkie warhorse HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN and JOHN LEE HOOKER's lurching BOOM BOOM, mixed with the more pop-centric BRILL BUILDING stabs WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE and DON'T BRING ME DOWN. Soon enough, BURDON was helming an entirely new set of ANIMALS and shouldering the writing chores himself. His  psychedelic vision yielded the hip tributes SAN FRANCISCAN NIGHTS, SKY PILOT and MONTERREY (detailing that massive musical "be-in" starring JANIS, JIMI and THE WHO) and the introspective pearl WHEN I WAS YOUNG. His final burst of popularity was forged in tandem with soul funk brothers WAR for the  Latino laced SPILL THE WINE...they moved on, scoring many more chartbusters even as BURDON's solo career sank from view. But for half a glorious decade, THE ANIMALS proved the Brit wave band to beat in terms of ballsy idealism as opposed to "pretty boy" pablum.

+1981	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	After the success of the "Joshua Tree" and "Rattle And Hum" albums and following tours which showcased U2 exploring the rhythms and feels of American music, the band decided that for the 90's they would need to change their image and sound a bit. Instead of evoking the vistas of the American landscapes, they decided that now they would jump feet first into the worlds of sonic experimentation, dance rhythms and techno with their landmark album "Achtung Baby." Few rock bands have been able to carry out such a change and come out with some stuff you can actually call great rock n' roll, but that's what U2 did. "Zoo TV" was the monster tour that followed, this was the first tour where U2 dabbled in glorious excess when it came to the size of the set, the technological touches with the giant screens and cars. True, this is over the top stuff, but U2 do it with gusto and style and the music never suffers, in fact, the images do not survive without the melodies (as would be the case with their second monster tour, Popmart). "Zoo TV: Live From Sydney" colorfully chronicles what the Zoo TV tour was like, what the band's attiudes were and proves how well art that pushes the envelope survives the test of time. From the opening shot of Bono's silhouette appearing on giant screens with the pulsing chords of "Zoo Station" playing in the background to a wonderful acoustic performance of "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)," the band excites and delivers. "Mysterious Ways" is performed with an exciting, erotic air while "One" proves to be just as effective live as it is on record. "Until The End Of The World" is an epic blow-out of poetic proportions while "Where The Streets Have No Name" still soars. Bono here sings as his alter-ego, The Fly, a maniac rock star composed of Jim Morrison's pants, Elvis' jacket and Lou Reed's shades. The images in the background screens enrich the performance and deliver a dazzling display of visual artistry. This was the tour's leg after the release of the "Zooropa" album and we get a few treats from that album here like The Edge popping out solo to perform "Numb" and performances of the disco-tinged "Lemon" and "Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car." What is amazing is that there is just such a vast scope to this concert and yet it's the songs that breathe life into it all. The melodies and chords are what we find ourselves paying attention to, even when Bono duets "Satellite Of Love" with a giant projection of Lou Reed or when he sings "Unchained Melody" with some kind of Buddhist chant in the background and let's not forget the speaking Martin Luthor King during "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" or the constellations projected during a very emotional "Love Is Blindness." And to top it off, the concert still ends with an Elvis cover! "Zoo TV" is an epic concert video in every sense of the word, don't believe me? Check it out yourself. This is a memorable document of one of U2's most memorable eras.
+Fall to Pieces-10/10: One of the slowest songs on the album, it certainly isn't bad because of that,and stands as a very heartfelt song. An acoustic guitar starts it off behind Weiland's soul-searching vocals, and Slash continues it on with his combination of acoustic and electric guitar playing that is phenomenal, and his solo is truly beautiful. The chorus is great!

+SLITHER - a snapshot of this entire CD and what it's worth.  This song rocks, but it's exactly what you'd imagine it to sound like, what with strong GnR and STP ties/elements in the band.  You can almost guess the next lyric, the next bridge, the riff of the upcoming chorus, the first notes of the gtr. solo...it's a GREAT track, don't get me wrong, but it's predictable.  Regardless, it ROCKS HARD.

Not one single "throw-away", partly because they were all standards except for the lone original "Bad To The Bone". He had the guitar playing talent, the "two-stroke, air-cooled" vocal chords and the good sense to pick such good covers that nobody cared if he wrote them or not. Not since Joe Cocker, has an artist "owned" sombody elses songs like George! What a coincidence that his first self-penned song went on to be his signature hit. GET THIS ALBUM. P.S. How do we get Rounder Records to release "Better Then The Rest" on CD?
+The album hasn't been a constant in my life.  As I moved away from conventional pop music, it kind of faded into the background.  I never bought Ram in any other format...I had the old LP, and that was it.  CD's came along, and decades went by without me pulling this music out.  Lennon was my Beatle, sometimes George.  Paul, no...he embodied the pop music I had moved past.

+828	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Today, in 2004, while good music is still being appreciated, it is sad to say that the most popular music today is rap. Lately, the music industry has been run by young rap stars such as Eminem and Nelly who probably never had one music lesson as a child, and as a result,people have been purchasing ipods and downloading music programs off the internet on their computer.  For a long time, several people have been waiting for a good hard rock band to come along.  That band would be Velvet Revolver, who's debut CD, "Contraband", is a breath of fresh air compared to other music out there right now.  The band is Scott Weiland (formerly of Stone Temple Pilots) on lead vocals, Duff(the former Guns 'n Roses bassist) on bass, Slash (formerly of Guns 'n Roses) on guitar, Dave Kushner on guitar, and Matt Sorum is the drummer.  Sorum is also formerly of Guns 'n Roses.  The result is a good,hard rock album with prettty ballads such as "Fall To Pieces" and "You Got No Right", and hard rock songs such as "Sucker Train Blues", "Illegal i Song", "Superhuman", etc.  Velvet Revolver is very similiar to Guns 'n Roses, and you can see and hear it on this solid hard album, which, once the CD is finished, you will be left begging for more.  If you are ever in the mood for old, good rock music, turn to KISS, Slaughter, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Metallica, or Guns 'n Roses.  If you are ever in the mood for good, new rock music, turn to Velvet Revolver.  They won't let you down.

+1282	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	After forty years of making some of the most popular music ever recorded David Gilmour has earned the right to kick back his heels and relax a little. Gilmour is no longer interested in the radical experimentations of Pink Floyd's early years or the conceptual epics of thier seventies hey-day. His performance on 'In Concert' is laid back and stripped down. The arena bombast of lasers, flying pigs, and exploding props are thankfully gone. The concert was filmed in a small theater and has a back-to-basics 'Unplugged' type feel, as Gilmour plays most of the songs on acoustic guitar. Casual fans expecting the hits will be dispointed. Gilmour includes some of Floyd's more popular songs like 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Comfortably Numb'. But his radical re-working of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' from its thickly layered synth prog-rock into an intimate, acoustic workout, touching on folk, classical and Spanish guitar, and even funk, demonstrates that Gilmour, now in his early sixties, still abounds with fresh, creative energy. He spends most of his performance playing songs by Pink Floyd founder Syd Barret. While I'm sure that most Floyd fans know who Barret is, I doubt they have ever listened to his music. Gilmour plays some of Barret's best work, like 'Fat Old Sun', 'Terrapin', and 'Dominoes'.  Hopefully after this introduction they will seek out his excellent solo albums. Gilmour includes obscure but sweet songs by Richard Thompson and his fellow band mate Richard Wright who joins him onstage for a number. The DVD includes some special features. The highlights include rehearsal footage and a performance fron the early 90's with singer Mica Paris where Gilmour plays some scorching blues guitar, reminding us of his mastery of the instrument.

I preferred to think of Fresh Aire as classical music with a modern twist; a blend of "baroque classical" with synthesizers against a backdrop of nature.

On this album, he steps up his lyrics AND flow to the perfect level. He  enunciates so well that you can understand almost every word he says, even  when he's rapping at his fastest. On the title track, Twista is just  downright amazing. In fact, it would've been better if he were on this  track alone, just tearin it up for 4 minutes. "Overdose" has a  slow, almost lethargical, yet eerie beat. "Mobster's Anthem" has  a beat reminiscent of the classic "Nuthin But A G Thang."  "It Feels So Good" & "Emotions" are both a nice  change of pace. On any other rapper's album, these may sound like 2 sappy  tracks, but Twista's flow saves them both, and actually turns them into  some nice trax. But the stand-out track on this album is one of my favorite  trax of all time, "Unsolved Mystery." Traxster's beat and  Twista's signature flow are just undescribably dope on this track. This is  in my top 15 trax of ALL TIME. Overall, this album has to be considered a  classic. If you're a fan of gangsta rap, fast flows, or even just rap in  general, this is a must have.

+From the infectious, punchy opening notes of "Gaslighting Abbie," I could tell that the Dan had not lost their edge. The slow, but funky "What a Shame About Me," is another worthy addition to the Dan repertoire. The title track is in 6/8, with great bassline and manic piano riffing, is a bit different from the Dan's other stuff in some ways. The chorus is one of the coolest thing they've ever done. Another funky groove with a cheery horn section is found in "Janie Runaway." The swirly, liquid texture of "Almost Gothic" are quite tasty. "Jack of Speed" reminds me very much of "the Royal Scam." A hot beat with attitude, and one of the best tracks on the disc. "Cousin Dupree" is probably the only non-country song about incest ever made, though it has a tongue-in-cheek country feel to it. "Negative Girl" has the same feel as "Almost Gothic" with complex dissonant jazz chords and nice drumming. The 8-minute mini-epic closes the album. 2000's answer to "Aja"?

After taking hits for the quality of the musicianship on his debut LP, Paul pulled together a slick, professional collection of studio performers for this outing, the most notable of which are future Wing drummer Denny Seiwell, and guitarist Hugh McCracken, who has backed up everyone from Steely Dan to Paul Simon.  Also featured is guitarist David Spinozza, who ironically would later contribute to John Lennon's 'Mind Games' LP.

+This album doesn't reach the artistic heights of Bruce's best work, such as "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" or "Born To Run". But Springsteen is still writing high quality songs, including standouts like "No Surrender" and Glory Days". Yes, this is pop music. But it is still better than 98% of the other pop music out there. Despite the upbeat tempos and joyful melodies most of these songs have a dark overcast to them, as Springsteen includes his usual cast of working class characters at the bottom of the economic ladder and desperate to find a better life. These aren't the corporate bigshots benefitting from the "Reaganomnics" of the 1980's. But regular joes for whom the "American Dream" is still mostly a fantasy yet to come true. Of course, the reason this album is so often misunderstood is that many people took the title track to be a jingoist anthem rather than the bitter tale of an ex-Vietnam vetern that it clearly is. This isn't Bruce's best album. But it is still one well worth owning.

+448	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	What else could there be said about the quality of Dusty Springfield's music? Nothing I could possibly add would expand the scope of her legend or appeal. What I can tell you, however, is that this is the Box to get if you're seeking a fair and accurate overview of Dusty's eclectic recording career. While the 1997 American Box Set tends to be too ballad heavy (especially Disc 3), leading the listener to believe that she sunk into MOR quicksand and that great singers should only interpret the slow stuff, the four discs in this collection gloriously expound the versatility of Dusty's instrument. Included between all her expected and essential hits are songs from her beginnings with The Lana Sisters, The Springfields, and as Mary O'Brien, noted album tracks, and rarites right up to her very last recording ("Someone To Watch Over Me", for a UK insurance TV commercial). Also included are seven tracks (not three as indicated by the reviewer prior to me) from her 1978 and 1979 albums, some of which have not appeared on previous collections. Of particular collectors' interest is the inclusion of the rare 1979 12" Disco Promo "That The Kind Of Love I've Got For You"--all 7:06 of it. 1982's American Casablanca release, "White Heat", is more accurately represented here than on the US Box, which included three of the album's four ballads. Not bad songs, but certainly not a fair assessment of the album either. The LP's true direction is given proper dues here with four different tracks: three loud synth and guiter rockers ("I Don't Think We Could Ever Be Friends" co-written by Sting, "Blind Sheep" which sounds like Mutt Lang was in the control booth, and "Sooner Or Later {You'll Be Loving Me}" complete with New Wave vocorder--none of which sound dated or out of Dusty's context) and one Elvis Costello ballad ("Losing You {Just A Memory}") that Dusty make's one of her best. One curiousity that is omitted is her 1985 single "Sometimes Like Butterflies". Though not one of her best performances, its inclusion here (and it's rarer B-side "I Wanna Control You") would have rounded out her sporadic 80's output. But still, a complete package this is, and making it just that is not exclusively its music but its liner notes as well. An extensive and informative essay, quoted accolades from at least 17 of music's Who's Whos, UK discography (this is a British issue), extremely detailed annotation for each and every track, and terrific photos all make this the one that all other box sets to follow should refer to before leaving the drawing board.

+Live at the Troubadour marks a full circle moment for artists King and Taylor whose musical careers as artists have been inextricably intertwined.

It's interesting to note that some of the most negative reactions have come from long time fans. Perhaps  they expected something radically different. The jazz overtones and  flourishes that decorate 2AN are exactly what most fans have come to expect  from Steely Dan. What's different? The lyrical sophistication and nonsense  word play are still here but the undercurrent from Gaucho that dealt with  aging has been replaced.

Besides the classic title song there are great covers of "Lili Marlene", "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and many more.  The better songs on the Cd are done in the same style, the ones done in a "normal" voice aren't as catchy.  There is one omission I spotted (besides the B-side of "Winchester Cathedral" which wasn't on my original album anyway).  My copy of "Peek-a-Boo" on 45 has a great cover of "The Anniversary Song" as it's B-side, while the liner notes list a different song and make no mention of the NVB ever having recorded the old Jolson tune.  The song was used in the Bette Davis film "The Anniversary" so it's possible it was never released in the UK.  This CD is just good old fashioned fun.

+9453	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I don't believe, as other reviewers have stated, Zappa set out to make a blatenly commercial album with Overnite Sensation. This was the inevitable direction the band had been heading since 1970 (in Zappa terms that can & does mean a 6-8 album span). The songs were still indescribable as anything but Zappa compositions, still retained the fresh originality that he brought to almost everything he touched and contained more wit (and wisdom) than most of Zappa's recordings since the early Mothers of Invention records. At this stage, Zappa could afford to hire better musicians and of course better production facilities were available which tended to give this album a glossy veneer that previous albums didn't have (although Zappa always strived for the best in both production and musicianship). Overnite Sensation is definitely a great jump off point for the uninitiated, as is Sheikyerbouti or Apostrophe, but I don't necessisarily think fans of those albums are going to like Grand Wazoo or Uncle Meat. I have friends who like the unexpurgated Zappa but could care less for his instrumental and compositional recordings and I have friends that are vice versa, and I also know people (myself included)who love and appreciate his work as a whole.  What I am trying to say in a wordy way is, commericiality, when applied to Zappa's music is in the eye of the beholder. Most fans of top 40 music are not going think this commercial at all, but Zappa fans may think it so because it has more conventional song structures and such. I tend to think of later recordings such as Joe's Garage and Tinseltown Rebellion as having more commercial potential than this.

+5156	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I am generally not too keen on big artists repeating their past successes, nor do I generally like live albums.  This is a very big exception.  James Taylor's voice sounds, to me, exactly as it did 40 years ago - as clear, as sharp, as steady - and I find that amazing.  Carole King's voice has acquired just a touch of raspiness, but it actually gives her more validity of emotion.  When they sing together, as they do on "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", "You've Got A Friend" and "You Can Close Your Eyes", their harmony sounds so natural: one expression fueled by 2 distinct voices and personalities.  The arrangements are for the most part very close to the originals, a little stronger and "thicker", due to help from modern technology.  Their onstage intros and chatter radiate warmth and friendliness.  It is obvious that they still share the musical and personal rapport they had in 1970.  Individually, James's "Fire And Rain" is very moving, as you would expect, and Carole's "I Feel The Earth Move" rocks as it never did before;  but there's really not a bad performance on here.  If you miss the singer-songwriters of the early 70's, and especially if you were ever a fan of either or both of these 2 iconic artists, this CD will not disappoint you.

I was disappointed with SUPERNATURAL from the moment I listened to it.  There is little on this album that is not re-manufactured pop, and it in no way highlights the exceptional musicianship or band interplay that Santana is known for.  Songs like "Maria, Maria" and "Turn Your Lights On" are about as far from the classic Santana sound as one can get, and the entire collection of songs has the tired "let's-try-to-write-a-hit-single-and-make-some-big-money" kind of feel.

+Many artists put their best songs deep into the album so listeners had to go through other works to get to it. The Eagles started out with a classic and just kept going. The guitar, meaning and harmonies in Hotel California were just awesome. I used to listen to this every few days while I was a youngster.

+SIMPLY DUSTY suffers from the usual complaint one always has about collections: what to keep in and what to leave out.  I am personally frustrated by the failure to include "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" recorded with The Springfields and the Bacharach "24 Hours From Tulsa."

Yes, he's a self-serving egotist, but an amusing one, and his narrative is obviously unreliable, one the film uses as part of its satirical fantasy-world.  On Julien Temple's fine commentary track, or as far as I've gotten, he twice mentions he followed William Burrough's cut-up method for fragmenting and rearranging bits of footage, but it seems to me the film as a whole has a Burroughs-like feel to it:  paranoid, pornographic, very  funny, sometimes sadistic, a noir fantasy-expose that doesn't even take terribly seriously its own cultural revelations and anarchic explosions.  Some of it is sophomoric and worse, dull, the sound muffled and picture blurred, but the music's great, the imagination shameless, and it earns its cult reputation.  Johnny Rotten is more maniacal and immediately charismatic than McLaren, and the band better than McLaren lets on, but MM was no dope.  For all his artiness and pretension, he had a lot going on as well.

+Yes it's true that critics didn't like it at first listen when it was released, but they grew to love it and it has ended up it's own little piece of art. Songs like 'Monkberry Moon Delight' with it's playful, meaningless lyrics threw the critics off a bit at first (Although if the song would have been given co-writing credits to a Mr. Lennon, the world would have thought it was genious). It's an eclectic work that finds Mr. and Mrs. McCartney writing great melodies and hooks, but just having fun and trying not to try too hard! (Get that?? good!)
+Also some of these songs were remixed, and possibly for a good reason. Her most popular single "Crush On You" was one of those remixed tracks. Here on the CD, someone thought it was a good idea to let Lil' Cease have all three verses. The remix it has Kim and Cease rhyming with each other, and it sounds just a little better than the origonal. If this album ever gets repressed, tell them to wipe off the origonal version and add the remix on there. Also the song "Not Tonight" was remixed and titled "Ladie's Night". The origonal song was produced by Jermaine Dupri, and it sounds okay, but you'll get tired of it after awhile. If anyone is interested, the remix would appear on the "Nothing To Lose Soundtrack" and featured Da Brat and Left Eye. Also, if you're sexually orentated, you might be able to tolerate these skits that flow throughout this CD.

+Falling out of love with Classic Rock sometime in the late 70's, I didn't listen to it much again until recently. Hearing it now, I enjoy "side" 2 much better than side 1, which puts me firmly in the minority of most Eagles fans. This may be due to my overexposure to the radio hits on side 1, but also because I love the Joe Walsh and Randy Meisner songs on side 2. They provide a nice break from Don Henley's singing, which is great but tends to produce "listener fatigue" when he handles too many of the lead vocals (and lest you think I'm not a Henley fan, "The Boys Of Summer" is one of my all-time favorite songs, period).

+Woody's relationship with the American Communist Party while no secret is not widely known. Even Bob Dylan, a worshipper of Woody's in his youth, was not aware of it. What is interesting is that the subjects of his songs fairly closely reflect the party line as it changed to reflect the winds blowing from Moscow. Woody's best work is reflected in the Popular Front style of ` This Land is Your Land' when the party developed its class collaborationist policy with the Rooseveltian Democratic Party and accordingly all liberals were good fellows and true. The Hitler-Stalin Pact was not good news for his style. Political differences between us aside, listen to his recordings and learn about hard times and struggle.

Since, by my definition, I am not a fan (being both familiar with and liking at least 80% of a band's music) of Santana, I am not biased by the same factors a fan (by my definition) would be.  I think that the collaborations are great!  They add a slightly different flavor to the mix.  Looking back, even Viva Santana varies from rock to progressive to latin etc.  So, I see no problem with collaborating; though he (Carlos) definitely chose some strange people (except Matthews and Clapton).  However, they do not take away from the quality of the music.  There is not a single weak track on Supernatural!  Even Smooth is great (just played to death).

+6643	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album was absolutely huge in 1976 and 1977 and still is today. Hotel California;according to Eagles drummer/vocalist Don Henley was a concept album about the dark side and dangers of the life style of money,sex,and drugs that singers and actors were living in Los Angeles/Hollywood at that time. Many of the songs on this album center around this theme;especially,Life In The Fast Lane,Hotel California,The Last Resort,and Victim Of Love. The addition of Joe Walsh replacing Bernie Leadon was a big improvement for the Eagles. Joe gave them a harder edged sound on this album, and The Long Run which followed in 1979. This was also the last album for bassist Randy Meisner as an Eagles member,before he went solo a year later. Most of the songs on this album have become rock classics and are still played on a regular basis on radio today. The music is a good mix of rockers and mellow songs. Definately,one of the biggest album released in the 1970's.
+What on god's green earth has happened to Todd Phillips in the ten years since he released Hated, the definitive G. G. Allin documentary? How, exactly, can one go from covering a dangerous, violent punk icon to doing a documentary about Phish and making really, really bad Tom Green/Wilson Brothers movies (Road Trip, Old School, Starsky and Hutch)? I don't know, but if you find yourself crawling under the table every time someone even mentions the name Todd Phillips, taking a look at Hated may convince you that there really are the underpinnings of a good documentary filmmaker beneath the present idiocy. Or maybe not. Much of that may depend on your view of his subject, a man on whom no one who's ever encountered his work can be without an opinion.

+"I Promise You" demonstrates Foxy's shift to really skippy bubblegum pop and not necessarily the S-A-W type, although she does dip her toe in that on one song.  Lovell and Power's production is just as infectious and the chorus has a tempo and intensity to match.

I agree with all who have suggested that the audio production values are not optimal but it is well worth the $8... I doubt however that I will be purchasing the forthcoming blu-ray. RIP Chris.

+Technically, the DVD is excellent.  The images are crisp and the sound is clear and loud.  One exception is with "Careless Whisper", which I feel could have been digitally remastered since the video is somewhat grainy compared to the others and the sound is a tad lower on this one.  But this is minor and really doesn't detract from this classic song.

+"House of the Rising Sun" (1964).  Here it is.  One of the most compelling and greatest hits in rock and roll history.  Burdon's voice is raw, raw, raw--and that is what you want for this kind of song!  No Gerry and the Pacemakers' sound here (I liked that group, by the way, but the Animals they ain't)! There is poignancy in the words of this song, melded with the music itself.  The organ's playing is quite effective; the band as a whole creates a strong bluesy effect; Burdon's raw blues voice is wonderful in this song.

Yes the reviews about the final dance contest number being a bit drawn out are true, but it is not a fatal flaw.

+7724	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	In 1988 I knew next to nothing about one of my now favorite artists, but I became aware of songs like "Fish and Whistle", "That's the Way the World Goes Round", "Paradise" and "Donald and Lydia" as my friends played them at open mike night at a local club.  From there it was a short step to "John Prine Live", my first Prine CD.  Prine's live performances of many of his best songs are reduced to their essential elements--by turns poignant, insightful and clever lyrics, a raspy voice (from too many cigarettes, I'd guess), and as he puts after "Grandpa Was a Carpenter", three chords on the guitar.  Particularly effective in this motif are such songs "Barbara Lewis Hare Khrisna Beauregard" and "Blue Umbrella" and "Mexican Home", all of which suffer a little from overproduction in their studio versions. Prine also delights with his "stories before the song" on "Sabu", "That's the Way the World Goes Round" (the Happy Enchiladas would be a great name for a band, and once was for one night about 17 years ago), and "Living in the Future".  Still, a fuller sound brings us the lovely classic "Speed of the Sound of Loneliness" and a perfect duet with Bonnie Raitt on "Angel from Montgomery".  After buying and listening to all of Prine's CD's over the years, I feel like "Prine Live" misses a couple of the best ("Bruised Orange" for poignancy (maybe it just couldn't stand without the closing soprano sax solo, "Pretty Good" and "Please Don't Bury Me" for humor), but overall, it's still my favorite compilation of the man's music. I've been to a couple of Prine concerts and "John Prine Live" captures the mood very well.  Highly recommended.

Tool is not a band that is going to appeal to all audiences, but what they do, they do brilliantly and this is perhaps their strongest showcase.  It is no wonder than many people looking to fine tune their hi-fi stereo systems for metal music use this album.  Not only is the production top notch but the musicianship and songwriting are above anything else I could think to recommend in this genre.  Some people have complained about the lyrics on this album.  I personally them to be a perfectly suited to the music and a compliment to songwriting in general.

One can sense while listening to this that Steely Dan is only for the music, not the pop mainstream, and that they're having fun performing.  This makes it much more enjoyable to listen to.  I think this makes an artist a better performer.  The combination of instruments and their melodies make the tracks danceable.  This would be a perfect album for a bar and a wedding reception.

Then it leads to the Unplugged concert with both Peter and Ace Frehley joining the band and continues to follow KISS through out their re-union  tour.  It ends with promotions for what will be the KISS' Psycho Circus CD.  Most buyers will be disappointed with the lack of concert footage but you can get plenty of that with Kissology Volume I (1974 - 1977).  If you don't have Kissology Volume I (1974 - 1977), I strongly recommend getting it first.  Kissology Volume I (1974 - 1977) definitely rocks!  Anyway, if you love the original KISS, this DVD is still a worth while investment.

+The Ballade for Piano and Orchestra comes from 1879 and is like Faure's Nocturnes in mood. The music begins with a reflective melody and slowly builds in tempo to a dance-like melody becoming more and more tranquil and finally fading away. The Pavane is a famous piece, slightly melancholy but with elegance and beautifully composed.  The Prelude to Penelope, Faure's only opera, is a good piece of dramatic music writing that sets the scene for what is to follow: the return of Ulysses to his homeland after 20 years absence.
+In conclusion Wheels Of Fire is essential Cream. The studio album is great on it's own but the live teacks are a bit
+the entire album!
+  It begins with "Speed Of Life",a driving mix of multi tracked rhythm guitars with a very discordant lead solo on the breaks-not to even mention wonderfully crafted melodies on synthesizer.  Beginning with a hard bluesy drum/guitar break, "Breaking Glass" goes into one of the most rhythmically dense and slow crawling funk/rock grooves Bowie ever did. The huge dynamics of the electronics punctuated "What In The World" and the gritty rocker "Be My Wife" are sonically heady-with abrupt jump cuts in terms of chord structure,melodic and rhythmic change throughout the songs. "Sound And Vision" is a more rockier variation of 60's style soul/rock style and one of the best pop oriented songs on this album. "Always Crashing In The Same Car" has a huge mix of spacey electronics and beds of guitar for a huge sound dynamic...that looks to Bowie's future. Beginning with an electronic beat/synthesizer pulse "A New Career In A New Town" goes into an electronica/ska hybrid after that. Following this the entire album shifts musical focus. "Warszawa" is a minimal German electronic number with a strong sustaining melody. "Art Decade" has these beautiful descending/ascending melodic patterns for a strong cinematic flavor while "Weeping Wall" blends in a middle Easter/Asian type melody to the ambient electronic soundscapes. "Subterraneans" blends backwards guitar loops in with the electronics as well as something similar to Tibetan chanting and Bowie's jazzy saxophone solos..
+4870	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	And no, I'm not kidding. You just might. This concert (nominated for an Emmy award!) has Andrea at his best so far, even though "A Night in Tuscany" is much sexier. I persuaded my home instruction teacher to record  it for me on the night of its premiere. He did. And the 1999 album of the  same name isn't too bad, either, though I wish there were better by Bocelli  than that. Bocelli's new CD, "Verdi," debuts in the US in September, but no  time for that. Bye for now.
+The first five songs particularly show a wonderful range of styles and compositions ranging from the solid pop of "Tiny Dancer" and "Levon" to the heavily orchestrated "Madman Across the Water" and "Indian Sunset". While the lyrics were occasionally murky and often misquoted, there was a lot of power in the piano and the backing arrangements were incredible. The still maturing voice of Elton was new and different at the time, and appealed to a broad array of audiences trying to find stability after the psychedelic and turbulent 60s.

Despite White Wedding (possibly Billy's best), I've never taken a liking to his first album, but with this purchase and relisten so many years later, it really is a fun and solid album. Rebel Yell is just a classic 80s rock album with so many great songs. Nice to have this for a great price. Sound quality is great on both discs.

Producers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno and members of the band provide fascinating insights and stories behind the songs on what is considered by many to be their strongest record.  The weaknesses - there is no commentary on three songs on 'The Joshua Tree', "One Tree Hill", "In God's Country", and "Trip Through Your Wires" and the awkward inclusion of the full video versions of "The Sweetest Thing" (remixed in 1998) and "Running to Stand Still" (circa 1993 Zoo TV).

+  From the albun Let's Dance (1983). Although, by this point, Bowie started going a little downwards with his music, this is a song that I find hard for me not to listen to. If you watch The Wedding Singer, you'll see that this song is mentioned and even sung a little by Drew Barrymore and Christine Taylor.
+There is much, much more. But what should appear to EVERYONE, not just Floyd fans, is, this is NOT Pink Floyd! It is a totally NEW entity, that has its OWN statement to make, in bold letters. This is amongst the finest pieces of British (or any other) rock ever documented on film; they don't make rock artists like this anymore.

+6364	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	I can't stand this guy's music! I admit I bought his albums up to 1974, but got rid of them shortly thereafter, and never heard them again, mainly because they were all over the radio all the time, and I got sick and tired of hearing Elton's flat vocals and Bernie Taupin's stupid lyrics. Can you tell I'm not a fan?
+Wisely, the film ends after that. I mean  really, what could have topped it!
+The lyrics to Baker Street are good, but I wouldn't say great. They give an overall impression of loneliness, futility and yearning for something better in the future. What's there is good but it's not great because the song does not tell a complete story. The album is a concept album and every lyric address these issues of loneliness and itinerant living on the road. Just reading over 4 of them I see they are all similar, not telling a complete story but lending these impressions. Considering the entire album's lyrics as a whole pushes them up a notch as ambitious, intelligent, very good, and maybe you could consider the whole as a complete story. They fall short of something blisteringly great like "Eleanor Rigby" (The Beatles) or "She Always a Woman" or "AllenTown" (Billy Joel).

+"Forty Six and 2" is another momentum gainer; it begins with soft, repetitive guitar noise and hand percussion, but the song erupts and jumps in volume during the chorus. A couple of tempo changes are included here, as well, including one at the end, where the beat becomes bobbing, pounding riffs.
+1. Twista uses his guest artist wisely- Yes, he has skills to burn, but listening to a fast rapper the whole disc would get tiring. However, the guests here don't try to sound like Twista, and keep their own identity while not disrupting the tone of the album. They contribute, rather than filling up space
+This is close to classic Styx performing the last show in their home city of  Chicago. Most of the songs are deliberately kept close to the recorded  versions. (Exception: Sail Away where they took some liberties with the  version as compared to the CD.) The audio is decent as is the video.  All-in-all a decent video for those who enjoy Styx.
+Despite the fact that I can count more than 10 other Santana albums which are way superior to this one, I still give this one 5 full stars since the good is really good and the bad and ugly tracks can clearly be skipped over.  Incidentally, I will eventually fork out the bucks for the "Legacy" edition of this since it has more of what is "good".  If you are young, foolish, impetuous, or all three go ahead, buy SHAMAN, I am sure you will "like" it, you can probably drink a half dozen more Cuba Libre's than I can anyway which is what it would take to get through "The Game Of Love" one more time.
+One interesting feature of some of Elton's early music is the periodic influence of gospel or soul music, most strongly seen on this album in "All the Nasties." The influence would not last much longer as Elton went down a musically more cohesive path from this point on.

+9562	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	After reading through the other reviews, I must say I'm impressed.  Tool really does appeal to a great variety of people.  I can remember when I first bought "Undertow", it was totally unlike anything else I  owned at that time.  It brought me into a whole new genre of music.  And  "Aenima" is keeping me there, quite solidly.  They have departed  a bit from "Undertow", but in a forward direction.  The music is  much more....complete, in my opinion.  It sounds much more rounded.  The  lyrics have lost nothing, either.  They are just as powerful and  thought-provoking as ever.  When listening to it, you just get the urge to  sing and scream right along with the it.  I personally, however, just  cannot do any of the songs justice.  They are definitely meant to be sung  by James Maynard Keenan.  Powerful lyrics demand a powerful voice,  and he supplies it.  It's very difficult to pick a favorite song off of the album.  I realize that "Aenima" has been glorified on EmptyV, but that  doesn't necessarily make it bad.  I love the message that it brings.  And for anyone  out there who doesn't already know, "Die Eier Von Satan" (I think  I spelled that right) is the recipe for Mexican Wedding Cookies, in German.  How often does the phrase "and no eggs" sound so sinister?  "Pushit" is likely to catch the attention of many, as I think the  message it tells is unfortunately a rather common one.  Basically, there is  not a bad song on the disc.  Buy it today.  Remember, they sold their souls  to make this record, so make it worth their while!  5 out of 5.

+1204	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Although I am a huge fan of CCM, I can see sometimes why people think it's cheesy. The lyrics have cliches, the melodies all sound the same, etc. Well, Skillet is not only a band that proves that they can sing about God and still rock, but also puts out better material than many of their secular counterparts. Collide, their last album, was a raw, emotionally-charged masterpiece, and Comatose is just that but with even more musical variety. The lyrics, as always, are absolutely amazing.  The first song, Rebirthing, is a desperate heart's cry out for the Lord, and the other songs deal with themes such as spiritual restoration and lonliness as well. It's not as hard rock as Collide, Comatose is a bit more industrial as they have been in the past, but I wouldn't say it's a bad thing, just a band trying a new sound. And it works for them. Even if you aren't a believer, don't shy away from buying this album. You won't regret it.
+There's been a couple versions of Pink Floyd in recent years, and I'm sure the PF purists out there may have some problems with this line-up.  I do not.

I also have his first album, "Introducing Jonathan Butler," and that's also a good album by Jonathan Butler. The Jonathan Butler from this era is what I would want to know as a Jazz artist instead of a gospel performer. It is known that Jonathan Butler sings gospel music nowadays, and I'd rather hear his earlier music from his first album, this album, "Jonathan Butler," his third album, "More Than Friends," and his fourth album "Heal Our Land." This album by Jonathan Butler came out in 1987, and it's still a good album to listen to.

A completely towering achievement of strong lyrics, bold message and some truly riveting guitar work provided by "the man" Bob Hartman!  John Schlit never really gained the momentum on later releases as he did with this album-making this a completely stellar work that has never been achieved since or ever will be for that matter!  The world is a fickle place and unfortunately a great band like Petra ended up on the back of milk cartons for "christian artists who are currently MIA."  Aside from that, every song on this album is moving and captivating.  Every perfect formula is exhibited on this album and unfortunately, instead of innovating that formula, Petra succombed to the "same" formula album after boring album.  "Unseen Power," is almost an exact replica of "Beyond Belief" and "Wake up Call" tried too hard to exhibit the same formula only with a grunge twist that didn't quite work.  After Bob Hartman left the band, well, need I say more?  The band is all but dead, at least for now, unless they come up a new group all together or maybe they can have their sons take the lead and create "a NEW Petra!"  Who knows?

I had trouble downloading the two extra tracks to my USB drive; for some reason, the .WAV files were incompatible with Windows Media Player (a bad codec, whatever that is), and didn't even display when I put the USB drive in my DVD recorder/player (which does play music files).  However, both clips are on YouTube:  "Uncle Albert Jam" is a Les Paul or Johnny Cash-style treatment of the tune with Macca and Denny Seiwell; the first part of the "Eat at Home" / "Smile Away" segment is the same as on the DVD, but you get the full versions of both songs.

This DVD features not only an amazingly warm and relaxed performance by Roy, but also includes a remixed SACD soundtrack of the film.  If you already have the "Black & White Night" CD (first issue) you may want to pick this up anyway.  The sound mix is crystal clear.  I think there were at least three acoustic guitars being played that night, and on this reissue, they positively shimmer!  The other differences from past issues of this concert on disc or video are the inclusion of "Claudette", restored to its proper place in the running order, and on the SACD, "Blue Angel" is added on as a bonus track.
+7556	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	For all those of you who only thought that Samantha Fox was only good Naked, think again!! This album amazed me. Her biggest hit "Touch Me" first introduced me to Sam Fox in 1990. I only purchased this album because I had wanted THAT song, and it was at a good price. It turned out to be one of the best buys I've ever made. Thanks to the brilliant songwriters, one is exposed to the sheer power of Sam's ability, and voice. She moves from a power-pop track like "Touch Me", to a power-rock track in "Do you Wanna Please me" (This one is heavy), to the most beautiful ballad in "Even in the darkest hours". She can even do a strange rap-type in "Just one night alone", which I found out of place, but enjoyable.  Here we get to hear her voice with few instrumental accompaniments, while pretending to be a woman describing her sexual satisfaction. It's pretty sensual, and can invoke a giggle toward the end. Other songs like "Spirit of America" and "Too many people" once again move into the power-rock phase. "Hot Loving" is the only song which didn't catch my fancy.  I won't describe "Touch Me", listen to it, even if you don't anything else.

+Other gems on the album are "Time Runs Wild" by Danny Wilde, "Dreams Come True" by Lone Justice and "You'd Better Wait" by Fee Waybill. R.E.M's classic "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" and Michael Damian's number 1 smash "Rock On" add to the excellence of this collection.
+Overall, this album is basically perfect, and this is the best thing any of these musicians have made in a long time, rivalling Appetite For Destruction and Core. Between the 3 ballads and the other tough rockers, this album basically suits any tastes of music! Hopefully, these guys will stay at it and continue to make great music in the coming years, and that means not going to Rehab guys! If you're a fan of Metal, Modern Rock, Grunge, or Guns N Roses or Stone Temple Pilots, there is no way you'll not love this CD!

+My favorite piece on the album is probably "The Adventures of Greggary Peccary," the bizarre 20 minute sequel to "Billy the Mountain."  "Greggary" is a farrago of rock parodies, jazz and modern classical styles.  It's like Charles Ives on acid. Intermixed with the odd music is a charmingly absurd narrative about a white-collar pig and his surreal adventures among the world of trendy goods and flaky philosophers.  Not to be missed.

Sure, this group is more engaging than Blink-182 (whoever reccommended Enema of the State at the top of the page is a funny bastard), or any number of boy bands. But I've heard 25+ albums this year that surpass Tool's entire ouevre. Some of these are plenty mediocre. Too.

So I thought, David Bowie? Everyone knows his name, everyone knows he co-wrote/sang Under Pressure with Queen, why the heck would I listen to a dude who has ultimate success and is very recognizable to anyone? Well, I went to go browse cheap used CD's one day because I didn't have the money to buy anymore records, and I found the Bowie section and saw Ziggy Stardust so I picked it up along with Low. I haven't listened to Ziggy yet because I really want the record first, but I popped Low in when I got home and was so pleasantly surprised! It's fantastic! Poppy, rockish, post punkish, electronicish, tranceish at some moments, and just un-classifiable. It really gets better the more you listen and now I am very tempted to go to my local record store and buy the 1969-1973 box set of records for $200 something..... I've heard Hunky Dory and Station to Station as well, which are both outstanding. So yeah, Bowie within the next year I'm sure is going to become one of my favorite artists of all time.

+One of the top ten stand-up albums of all time.
+When the album came out, most of their contemporaries from the grunge era were fading fast and the ones left remaining didn't have nearly any of the intensity that the band demonstrated on this album.  This left them from being considered one of grunge's more eccentric groups to being labeled as the new face of mainstream progressive metal.  As such, the band proved to be a hot commodity and generated two videos (Stinkfist and Aenema), two radio singles (46 & 2 and H), and another song that still found radio play on hard rock/metal stations (Eulogy).  There was a double-edged sword that came about with their rise to fame.  On one hand, true music fans and some innovative acts were able to take great influence and delight from the work composed here.  On the other hand, you had too many rock-oriented bands who were so desperate for attention and success that they were trying to emulate either Tool's style to the point of ripping it off or their production in hoping to achieve the capture the same elements found in Tool's works (David Bottrill didn't work with any metal acts prior to his involvement with Tool; that has since changed.)

+8424	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I give this album 4 stars because it was only the start of them. Listening to this album and then listening to lateralus will greatly show you how they have evolved musically and lyrically. But overall, this was a great album for it's time. Tool stepped on to the scene showing that they had uniquesness and creative music. They just hadn't perfected themselves yet. If you wanna hear a young maynard just starting off and good music that was only gonna get better, then this is the album for you. Undertow was in the same era. I think Aenima was the album that made fans turn heads and raise an eyebrow. That was the album of change and when Tool figured out where they were going musically. Aenima officially and completely separated Tool from other bands. Opiate was just the beginning.

+And while the songs on this double album are probably not the songs that those groovers have in mind, this is one of the most beautifully heartfelt musical statements I've ever heard. Nearly perfect in its obstensibly rough edges, each song reveals a raw and frank view of Ono's heart that threatens to tear out the listener's own. It doesn't have much of the tone-and-noise-for-its-own-exploratory-sake of her early releases. Here, her voice works to express sense and emotion squarely within a classic rock tradition.
+Who can ignore the elephant in the living room of any Floyd solo project: What new evidence does this present in the ongoing inquisition into "Which one is Pink?" Gilmour's efforts on this DVD unquestionably make a stronger case for his role in crafting Pink Floyd's sound than does any other project since Waters' departure. The world tours he organized for the fractured Pink Floyd in 1987 and 1994, notwithstanding the awesome spectacle of the stadium shows, would not have sounded substantially different had the band simply left a greatest hits compilation playing on a turntable. Gilmour had seemed to reason that a less guarded performance would have betrayed the band's radical reconstitution and therefore elected to play it safe and assemble a glorified tribute band. Presently Gilmour proves more adventurous, and it pays off, as he demonstrates with "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" that he can interpret the song as authentically when he stands alone with his acoustic guitar (parts I-V) as when he performs it with a well-rehearsed band (parts VI-IX). Gilmour's new material, moreover, is tender and etheral, knit together by lead guitar parts woven with classical meticulousness and perfectly seasoned with background vocal harmonies, plodding percussion, and even Dick Parry's saxophone -- essential properties of Floyd's most characteristic albums. Suddenly it seems that Gilmour's signature on the Pink Floyd sound faded in direct proportion to the increasing responsibility he assumed in the group. When he played sole bandleader, he was barely there, and if that story seems familiar, it proves the timelessness of a certain album and the pertinence of its infinitely recurring question, "Isn't this where we came in?" Finally, in 2002, David Gilmour has come back to life, and with this concert appears to have broken through his own Wall.

+8540	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I look at this entry in TOOL's arsenal as an introduction to better prepare you for the audio onslaught of 1993's Undertow.  This disc leaves you wanting more, you can feel these guys stretching their musical tenticles but at the same time feel a little teased.  Rocks more than anything out there but lacks the melody, maturity, and angst the rest of their entries are saturated with.  Works great if you need a quick fix of Tool because of its length; its short and kicks.  Early disc pressings have the hidden track which, after a listen, shows that the band also has a clever sense of humor.  A good origin for the best band working today.

Anyway, I feel the clips included in this dvd are the definitive masterpieces of Madonna's artristy, because, although her latest clips from the "Music" album have been very good, nothing can compare to the visuals and styles showed in such breathtaking videos as "Rain" (my favorite), "Bedtime Story", "Frozen", "Nothing Really Matters", et al.

+Although they really sound nothing like the Black Crows, their style fits right in with the newer southern rock bands that have gained popularity in the past ten years.  The biggest difference is that Third Day plays music that lifts up Jesus and stirs the soul to meditate on and praise God.  This is a strong debut from them.

+The medley of "Sweet Thing" and "Candidate" is probably the best example of this--  "Sweet Thing" features a romantic piano line that would not be out of place in a stage production and an absolutely stunning lead vocal from Bowie who takes full advantage of his range.  His performance is just absolutely staggering, but it has a very theatrical, almost over the top sound to it that reminds you of Freddie Mercury.  Likewise, the sing-speak vocal of "We Are the Dead" has the sound of something right out of a stage piece.  Mixed in with all this is just some great rock songs-- "Diamond Dogs", "Rebel Rebel" and "Rock & Roll With Me"-- and one piece that traipses at dance music ("1984") to make a pretty well balanced collection.

(And one can even add Sabbath No. 4 and Sabbath No. 5, for one experimental album each, since "The Seventh Star" with Glenn Hughes and "Born Again" with Ian Gillan, both from the mid-1980s, neither of which has anything to do with the other three "eras".) I confess that the Martin-era is my least favourite one, but this may well be because I came to these albums after I had been quite familiar with everything recorded with Ozzy and Dio during the 1970s and early 1980s. However, personal taste is a poor excuse to neglect the years with Tony Martin. After all the man recorded five studio albums with the band and they all range from good to very good, with occasional sparks of greatness:

But in the summer of '99, the first single off the album (Smooth) got played more and more.  And the single started selling.  First it went gold, then platinum, then nearly double platinum.  In the meantime the album was doing the same.  And by February of 2000 the world watched Santana sweep the Grammys after Supernatural garnered up 9 awards.  Including Record, Song, and Album of the year honors.  And now Supernatural has sold over 13 millions copies.  If I were Santana, I'd consider the retiring thing again.  And with good reason.  Supernatural is one of the greatest collaborative efforts the music world has seen in many years.  All the tracks contain superstars like Dave Matthews, Everlast, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Eric Clapton.  The album has possesses a great production quality an sounds great!  This album would also become one of Clive Davis' last albums that he produced before he retired from the music business last spring.

Like the first one, it mostly draws from pre-1966 (with the odd exception of the 1969 single "Break Away," another gem that unfortunately flies under the radar), emphasizing the band's status as the premiere American pop group of the era. The album's artwork is very well done, and the sound and sequencing hold up to modern years. An excellent compilation overall.

+Overall, I think Apocalyptic Love is a pretty good album.  The thing that keeps it from being worthy of five stars is the sometimes erratic vocal delivery of Myles Kennedy.  Slash continues to do his thing, and he does it quite well.  If you can't imagine Slash doing anything of value outside of Guns N' Roses, you will want to skip this one.  Otherwise, what are you waiting for?  Enjoy some good tunes from one of the best guitarists of our time.

+"Still There'll Be More" is about the devil taking his due. He isn't content being an annoyance, he must torture you as well. Besides, only something dire can "blacken your Christmas". "Nothing That I didn't Know" is about the death of a young lady, Jenny Droe. The singer morns and wishes that he was in her place in order to be set free. "About to Die" reminds me of someone on top of a tall building ready to jump with the cheer of the crowd below. Keith's words are puzzling here, but he throws in biblical references such as Kingdome Come, being resurrected from death and the savior's son. An all around interesting tune.

+Kelly is just keeping it street, and the song explaining what this means features a great funky groove and some priceless lyrics.

Budding stardom had not really changed Kelly, and he enjoyed nothing more than just Hangin' Out and kicking it old school just like back in the day.  R.

There's Kind of Blue all over this album.  The tracks were recorded by a core of live musicians, so TvN has more of a live feel than their masterpiece Aja.  The integration and communication between instruments is absolutely amazing for a studio album - a seamless conversation.  If the first 7 Dan albums were beautiful 2 dimensional and lyrical chess, the Two Against Nature has a special 3-dimensional quality.  While LA jazz permeates Royal Scam, Aja, and to some extent Gaucho, Two Against Nature goes straight to the 50s source (over a funk backdrop) - the heros of Fagen and Becker.  The album can be snappy (Janie Runaway) or just plain gorgeous (Almost Gothic).  Those songs along with Negative Girl and West of Hollywood are among Dan's finest moments.  I can honestly say I rank this one close to Aja and Katy Lied.  Well deserving of the Grammy accolades.  However, if you are a rock fan expecting to hear a screaming Elliot Randall solo, forget it.  This is not your father's Steely Dan.

+Some of the tracks are watered-down versions of the originals, and not especially interesting, although it's true enough that they're easy to listen to. But many of them do hold to the Muzak tradition of subverting the impression of a song from, say, ironic and upbeat to maudlin: "Mongoloid" is a good example.

Taking it to the streets with all star support from 2Pac, Mac Mall & Spice 1 on "Dusted 'N' Disgusted" as each shined with their signature flow.  Performed as a letter to a friend in jail "1-Luv" featuring Leviti poses the reality of simply living and E-40 did not miss a beat.  Relating to getting high and getting drunk for serious smokers and drinkers, "Smoke 'N' Drank", was written with just that in mind.  "Dey Ain't No" is dark with an incessant deep bass enriched by a piano silhouette to give this LP a more street feel.  Speaking about the street games, E-40 spits on how to invest into businesses for a legal hustle on "Fed" featuring Suga T.  Sharing verses with B-Legit & Celly Cel representing the "H.I. Double L." side of Vallejo, California on how they live.  "It's All Bad" is about life in the ghetto and changing times comparing it to excerpts found in the Bible.

He was a soulful, gritty singer that could rip out a gutsy,rocking blues vocal performance and just as easily deliver a smooth, laid back song with feeling. Luther does both on Reckless, but the listener is never bored. Each song is delivered with the message that Luther means what he is singing. Oh yeah, and let's not forget that fantastic guitar work that first got me hooked on his music. He comes out ripping on Low Down and Dirty and from the first solo to the end you are at his command. The CD doesn't let up from there and I honestly think it is difficult to pick one or two highlights, because there are no clunkers. Luther's guitar almost seems like an extension of his voice as he rips out riffs that complement his singing throughout. He also doesn't fall into that trap of only knowing three riffs like some Blues guitarists. He showed a dynamic range on this CD that only made his death harder to take, because you were left looking forward to the next one. Buy this and any other Luther Allison CD you can get your hands on!

But watching it now I can sort of understand why the critics ripped into it so badly at the time. Make no mistakes, there are still some incredibly powerful moments and performances to be found, such as the blistering performance of Sunday Bloody Sunday, swaggering Helter Skelter and ever-transcendent Bad. Unfortunately, one could almost get a feeling that the band went into this project with an aim to make themselves look as dour and humourless as humanly possible. They come off as overly serious and distant, and if I saw the film without any knowledge of U2 I'd probably be left with a feeling that I was watching the world's dullest band. For a U2 experience, I'd recommend about any other concert video they've done, with ZooTV and Elevation being the top picks.

But a good album isn't supposed to appeal only to diehard fans. It should also, in some way, conncect to the casual listener so they can find out what the fuss is all about.  "Two Against Nature" is that kind of album.  From the first note, I was hooked: clever arrangements, jazzed-up grooves, offbeat lyrics, and Donald Fagan's distinctive voice, which can never be mistaken for anyone else's.  Unlike other acts half their age, Steely Dan is less concerned with style than substance, and that shows in "Gaslighting Abbey," "What a Shame About Me," and "West of Hollywood."  Fans won't depend on my review to decide whether they should get this album.  But if you only know Steeley Dan as the group that upset Eminem at the Grammys, then you owe it to yourself to get this CD and experience one of the finest acts of the last thirty years.

Just like everything they would go onto do, Tool's music was sheer brilliance from start to finish on this 6 song, 26 minute EP. Not to mention two lives tracks jam packed with all the excellence that is Tool live. Back in these days (mainly with this cd and Undertow) Tool's music and lyrics were alot more angry compared to now. Maynard's words have always been clever and thoughtful as hell, even with this album, songs expressing rage such as "Jerk-Off" are by no means being [mad] just for the sake of it. This is being [mad] with a purpose. Obviously someone really did Maynard wrong, Dug the knife a tad too deep with him. Other songs like "Opiate" are speaking out against religion (always awesome) and subjects such as insecurity (Cold and Ugly) censorship (Hush) and drug addiction (Sweat) are instant classics. Since this cd is so damn short, and Tool is just too awesome anyways, I couldn't tell you the best songs on here. Just buy it, especially if you love Tool. Now if you're new to Tool, I would actually recommend the "Aenima" cd but I think this one would work just as well.

Split between song-oriented and instrumental sides, 'Low' remains one of the man's  greatest achievements.  In truth, while many critics seem to rave about the  instrumental side a  lot, the heart of the album belongs to side 1.  7  catchy tunes (2 instrumental) that instantly stick in your head, while  maintaining musical integrity.  The instrumentals are good, don't get me  wrong.  However, they don't match the immediacy of the shorter numbers.  Still, a great album nonetheless.

+  Santana and his band have been crafting fine music since the 60's and have  never "sold out"  Carlos's playing could almost be described a  genius.  The album was probably released at the wrong time due to the  amount of pop music that was cashing in on the Latin flavor (i.e. Ricky  Martin, Jenifer Lopez, Marc Anthony.)  But for Carlos, this isn't a  commercial gimmic, this is the music that he has been producing for  decades.  The first two singles aren't comparable to the rest of the album.  First you have "Smooth" with guest vocals by Rob Thomas from  Matchbox 20.  This song is very polished and ready for radio airplay, but  if you listen to layering of the music instead of Mr. Thomas, you hear what  Santana has been playing for years.  The other single, "Maria  Maria" featuring The Product G&B is a step towards hip hop soul  courtesy of Wycleff Jean (for this reason alone, this song is reaching).  For now let's get beyond these songs and concentrate on the rest of the  album, which is an instant classic.  The Santana of old is still here, rock  fused with Latin Jazz on tracks likeLa Le Yaleo, Africa Bamba, Migra,  Corazon Espinada featuring Mana, El Farol and Primavera.

I was happy to see Slash, Duff, and Matt Sorum together on an album again.  Dave Kushner, of Infectious Grooves fame, was also good to see .

+Sandy gets a chance to flex her songwriting muscles a bit more fully on this album--"Nothing More," "The Sea," and "The Pond and the Stream" are fine examples of Sandy's often deeply personal style.  The covers of Gordon Lightfoot's "The Way I Feel" and Dylan's "Too Much of Nothing" are very well executed also, but the true centerpiece of this album is the epic ballad "Banks of the Nile."  This track could easily have fit in on Liege & Lief or Unhalfbricking, the albums on which Fairport began to make serious inroads into traditional British and Celtic folk music; Sandy, by contrast, only saw that album as an interesting one-off rather than a new career direction.  Yet her interpretations of such traditional songs must have inspired her, because she'd write a number of songs in that style on her first two albums that rank among the best and most memorable songs Sandy would record.

+In comparison to some of Zappa's more distinctly instrumental albums such as `Hot Rats' or the very late `The Yellow Shark', it may be easy to minimize the value of the instrumental performances on this album. While they mostly create bridges between the storytelling, they are not to be dismissed. `Willie The Pimp Part One' nicely elides between `Latex Solar Beef' and `Do You Like My New Car'. With all the vocals and storytelling, Zappa doesn't have much room for some of his more arcane musical inventions. This is, after all, Fillmore East, although he does squeeze one in with `Lonesome Electric Turkey' just before his classic `Peaches En Regalia'.

"Negitive Girl" appears like a catchy little number, until you realize that most of these chords are shifting jazz voicings, and that the drummer is subdividing the beat differantly each time around.

+The first three music videos are taken from the album Erotica. The first video is Bad Girl (10/10, 9/10). A beautiful ballad with a good video to accompany it, it was featured in Madonna's erotic, 18+, 1993 film Body Of Evidence. Bad Girl also features clips from the film - not the erotic scenes if that's the only reason that you were thinking of buying it for! The second video is Fever (9/10, 8/10), also from 1993. This cover of Peggy Lee's classic simply swings! The video is very red! That's probably the best word to describe it as lots of flames surround Madonna. Not Madonna's best video, but still good. Rain (9/10, 10/10) was also released in 1993 and is the third video. It's another beautiful ballad that shows Madonna filming a movie. Her short, black hair was just one of Madonna's ever-changing images.

+Enormously popular at the time of it's release was the folksy opener "Hand of Providence".  "Secret Ambition" is a truly timeless classic highlighting the ministry of Christ.  "Ashton" is a haunting and hard-hitting instrumental piece written as an ode to Frank E. Peretti's classic novel THIS PRESENT DARKNESS.  Probably my favorite song on here has to be "I Miss the Way".  This is a very soft and very melodic song that reaches out to the believer who has gotten distracted and gotten off course in his or her Christian walk.  I guess the reason why this song's message speaks so loudly to me is because it is something that happens to all of us, if we were to be honest.

Throughout his multi-decade career, the former DAVID JONES borrowed dollops of inspiration from LOU REED, SYD BARRET and IGGY POP while aligning with a long line of stellar guitar foils including MICK RONSON, ROBERT FRIPP and a pre-fame STEVIE RAVE ON. A seamless combination of his CHANGESONEBOWIE and CHANGESTWOBOWIE anthologies, here is most everything you could ask for hit-wise, the lone downer being a jittery, flatulent remix of his chart-topping John Lennon co-write FAME.

"Cruising for Burgers" and "Pound for a Brown" are very different from the Uncle Meat versions and great.

+I was very pleased to hear Billy's "Old Chunk of Coal" after being familiar with John Anderson's version. Billy's version carries more emotional weight as he imbues the song with first person emotion; indeed, the song was orginally written in the late 1970s when Billy decided to forgo wine and drink with the help of his good Lord. I've since found out that the legend himself, Johnny Cash recorded the song in the late 70s as well. 'Good Ol' USA' is a unique piece, basically melding the seemingly disparate elements of 'music hall' with the wisdom of a honky tonk bard.

+8262	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Earlier Procol Harum albums have been keyboard-oriented--two guys on keys (Gary Brooker and Matthew Stewart)--each on one instrument (piano and organ respectively) without a synth or mellotron in sight. Now you've got both men at the same stations as back then, but willya listen to the difference!--it's the rhythm section that rules. Procol were always the blue-eyed soulmen of light prog (or maybe vice versa), but this album is funky even when it's mellow--case in point, the very dancy "Man With a Mission" with its pulsing bass-and-drum groove that Marcus Miller would approve of. Maybe it's because guitarist Robin Trower has been a Heavy Blues icon since he left this band a quarter century ago, and revisits his old band with his current bass player (Dave Bronze) in tow. Whatever it was, we get to hear what amounts to a fusion of the two styles that's interesting to say the least. Still, it's a good thing this lineup didn't become permanent--what would we do without Trower and Bronze working their own gig?

+588	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Bruce is well-plugged into today where he portends a distressed and misshapen (though determined) America and his hit-writing ability reaches its height on this record. He's also achieved a live-in-the-studio feel. The ensemble sound of the E Street Band is enormous, resulting in an arena-rock classic while they still retain that early rock and roll earthiness that they love. The heavy production title number is as precise and memorable as a protest statement gets. The stark "I'm On Fire" is fearsome desire and the synth work here adds very appreciably to its eeriness. Buddy Holly gets updated brilliantly on Bruce's struggle-ridden "Working On the Highway". My fave, the agitating duo on "Darlington County" whose escapades don't pay off, is set to hard-driving R&B that reaches fever pitch. You also get a substantial triumvirate that finishes the record, reflecting the good old glory days that won't return, self-scrutiny and a once bustling town that has withered away in industrial burnout. Bruce has impressively harnessed his vocals for each song's purpose and has put forth an honest effort that is never overreaching. This great album attests to the promise that rock and roll is alive indeed and to the responsibility that it should never stop even when rock gets into an artistic recession.

+"Little House I Used to Live In" constantly gets mentioned as being the easy highlight, and I suppose it is.

+8409	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is an odd transitional album. Although the Spiders are gone David hasn't quite jettisoned the Ziggy persona yet elements of the Thin White Duke are starting to show. While there are great stand alone classic song (1984, R&R With Me, Diamond Dogs and of course Rebel, Rebel) this album is best listened to in it's entirety. In vinyl it breaks perfectly into an act 1 and 2 with having to turn the record over. From start to finish a frightening vision for the future. In interviews David said he remembered almost nothing of recording or writing this album due to extreme drug/alcohol abuse and the ensuing paranoia which goes a long way to explaining the bleak outlook. My only complaint is that I wish he would have retained Mick Ronson. David's guitar is never more than adequate and Mick could have added a layer of shimmer that is missing. Still that's a minor complaint and this is an essential album, a must have for any Bowie fan.
+1287	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	When I bought this vhs tape in 1991 at the beginning of my senior year, I heard the best concert performance by DAVID GILMOUR that even outdid the DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER tour, despite that keyboard player Gregg Dechart used a KORG organ instead of the HAMMOND B5 organ.  Furthermore, it also outdoes the PULSE tour that fortunately includes a complete live performance of THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.  The highlight of his solo band in my musical opinion was and still is BAD COMPANY'S lead guitarist MICK RALPHS whose guitar playing style gave DAVID's music a whole lot more guitar rock power than TIM WENRICK from the PINK FLOYD tours.  On the other hand, everybody else in this band were also excellent musicians who should always be remembered.  UNTIL WE SLEEP is a outstanding opening song with DAVID and keyboardist GREGG DECHART's 2-part harmony vocals and then the extra harmonies of bass guitarist MICKEY FEAT and MICK RALPHS.  ALL LOVER'S ARE DERANGED is an excellent guitar rock song with MICK and DAVID trading lead guitar riffs.  I also love the way MICK plays rhythm guitar on THERE'S NO WAY OUT OF HERE, as well as the harmonies of MICK, GREGG AND MICKEY.  MICK's guitar playing style on this song and others on this concert has inspired me musically.  After watching this tape, MICK RALPHS has become my most favorite guitar player whose has since that moment inspired me and my guitar playing.  Plus, I have even practiced playing guitar just like him since then.  SHORT AND SWEET is excellent too with ROY HARPER, but RUN LIKE HELL sounds a whole lot better on this concert than the future PINK FLOYD tours.  OUT OF THE BLUE is a great piano ballad, especially seeing DAVID playing the piano himself.  BLUE LIGHT kicks the concert into overdrive, with everybody in a solo spot.  The sound of MICKEY FEAT's bass guitar is excellent and so is Raff Ravenscrof sax playing tone and keyboard playing stills.  Then DAVID introduces his band members, and when he mentions, "MICK RALPHS on the guitar," I was totally surprised.  I knew the guitarist had a more powerful sound on this tour than on the future PINK FLOYD tour, but I would have never guessed that MICK would be in this band instead of TIM.  Plus, I thought that a lot of the musicians from the 1987 PINK FLOYD tour were also from DAVID's 1984 solo band, and I also did not remember the drummer CHRIS SLADE, who I first remember seeing in THE FIRM with JIMMI PAGE and PAUL RODGERS, being bald-headed.  I knew I was definitely glad I found this tape, otherwise I would be missing out on a whole lot of great guitar rock music.  Back to the concert, the closing song MURDER is an excellent surprise.  First of all, David plays the acoustic guitar and Mick plays the electric guitar, which certainly surprised me after seeing David playing the electric guitar while Tim Wenrick plays the acoustic guitar on ON THE TURNING AWAY.  Anyway, when Mick starts playing the lead guitar solo, I was deeply amazed how great the tone of his guitar sounds.  The song in general still makes me think of BAD COMPANY's "FEEL LIKE MAKIN' LOVE," eventhough the tone of Mick's guitar solo sounds like the tone of the guitar solo of IF YOU NEEDED SOMEBODY from HOLY WATER.  More importantly, it was an outstanding listening and visual esperience.  Then David switches to his black strat playing lead guitar throughout the song, and then MICK and DAVID close the song with their 2 part harmony lead guitar.  As for the encore of COMFORTABLY NUMB with PINK FLOYD's NICK MASON on drums, this song also outdoes the PINK FLOYD version with the psychodelic keyboard sound of GREGG DECKART, the beginning harmonies of MICKY and GREGG, then DAVID and MICKEY, and later MICK.  I also love the way DAVID works his way up to the signiture high-pitch guitar solo of the song that he usually does not do during the PINK FLOYD tours.  It's a plain same MONEY, ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL, and other PINK FLOYD did not make it on this tape.  The 2 videos are great and so it the half hour special of his solo tour that features interviews from THE WHO's PETE TOWNSHEND and PINK FLOYD's NICK MASON.  I remember when all of this was broadcasted on MTV in 1984.  Why this concert is not on DVD, I certainly can not, nor will, understand the reason for that.  This should not be judged due to the lack of the PINK FLOYD name.  In my musical opinion, DAVID GILMOUR had the best sounding solo career, since his singing and guitar playing did and still does represent the sound of PINK FLOYD.  Maybe his solo tour would have been more successful if he had planned to play MONEY & ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL throughout the whole tour and give notice somehow what PINK FLOYD songs he would perform throughtout this tour.  More importantly, his solo career should not be forgotten.

I also can find nothing on the cover of the 1998 release which indicates that it has been remastered in surround sound.

The cute girlfriend (Eddy's, I'd suppose he he) dancing at the shack wasn't too bad either! Next, it was the derriere kicking video for 'Hottest Thing In Town' that caught my eyes and ears.

+Uncle Meat put an end to that for good, and introduced a Zappa that believed "anything can be music".  Conversations among band members about sub-standard working conditions are cheek by jowl with exquisite scored orchestral segments, followed by tight doo-wop songs about suburban life.  Zappa also introduces themes he would revisit later, a favorite techniques of his, and other composers.  Mr. Green Genes makes his debut, we see him again on Hot Rats.  Uncle Meat was noticed by a wide variety of players.  The Persuasions, (who owe their start to Zappa), covered Electric Aunt Jemima memorably.  And while King Kong in all its variations has merit, (especially the version played on the back of an ice cream truck), the last word on this melody belongs to Zappa friend and collaborator Jean Luc Ponty - I highly recommend tracking down his tribute CD - King Kong.

+The result in one very tight and crafted album.  As has been remarked elsewhere, given the circumstances of the chaotic deep from which this band emerged, Velvet Revolver put together more in a year than Axel Rose has yet to come up with in a decade.  The CD begins with a manly slap in the face with "Sucker Train Blues" that shows they are not backing off the hard won ground of Stone Temple Pilots and Guns `N' Roses.  The band hammers through the rest of the CD with the two guitarist setting a furious crossfire rage and Weiland barking, crooning or punching the lyrics in a serpentine path down the spine right to the sling of your stones.

+The part of 'Amor Celeste' was given to the countertenor (sexless,so to speak) to denote the heavenly spheres.  The part of 'Amor terrano' in the sensual raiment of a woman, is supposed to represent worldly seduction.  It is these 2 protagonists, moreover, who motivate the plot. 'Amor terrano' metamorphoses from a figure cast in neutral terms at the beginning to a "devlish" but defeated seductress at the end.  In the process the merit of having conquered the depths of evil devolves upon Maddalena.  She is elevated into a position which exemplifies Christian salvation.  The modest share allotted to Christ as a "dramatis persona" (not a bass, but a soaring tenor) emphasizes Maddalena's merit all the more.

Check out "What a Shame About Me", or  "Cousin Dupree"...you'll see what I mean. The lyrics are  definitely in the vein of classic Steely Dan, with subtle regret and humor  interwoven amidst really funky rhythms and chord structures.

Most of them that I know they were his hits, but was Blue Angel, Working for the Man, Falling, The Crowd, Paper Paper, and Shaddaroba, were on of them. This cd will not have his other hits from other recoring stuidos like Ooby Dooby, Go, Go, Go (Down the Line), and Cladutte. And how about I'm Hurting' was that one of his hits. Now if you take a look at the booklot, it gives you a little trivia about a few of his songs, and gives you his history before he landed at Monumet Masters. Like did you know that Only the Lonely started at 2 sperate songs, and the owner of the label, liked the songs well, but not well enough to recored, and he gave Roy Orbison a challenge, and his was that if you got bring these 2 songs together, you could have a hit, and hence it became Only the Lonely, I am not sure how the lyrics went. Roy Orbison wrote, most of his hits, and a few he took from other singers like Dream Baby, and Candy Men. The first one that he wrote was Go, Go, Go (Down the Line). So if you like these hits, then you sdhould be in for a real treat.

This is a collection of the most original piano pieces I've ever heard; tracks like "Until the Last Moment" and "One Man's Dream" are brilliantly complex in their emotion. You'll love how Yanni manages to almost tell stories with just the piano: the left hand sets the tone while the right tells the tale. This album is absolutely a must-have.

+Do It For The Kids-10/10: Duff's bass line and Slash's riff sets the tone for this song, almost a sarcastic one. Weiland's vocals back up the instruments perfectly, and his chorus is one of the best on the album. This is a really angry song, just read the lyrics!

+Sabbath also drops the ultra heavy doomy sound from Dehumanizer and returns to more of the tradition sound that was found on the Martin albums of the past.

There he collaborated with ambient-techno wizard Brian Eno in a relationship that flourished as they recorded three studio albums with Tony Visconti.

This first side is truly classic.  Speed of Life, Always Crashing in the Same Car and New Career in a New Town are musical masterpieces which showcase the enormous production contribution of Tony Visconti.

+But for me the highlight is "Blessed Relief," a sunningly placid piece; one of the few of Zappa's I can name with no irony. The only regrettable thing about this song is that it, mysteriously, did not become a live staple
+The two do well together and compared to most concerts, you will enjoy it- set the sound up right!

+It would have been great if they recreated the sessions with most of the original musicians and did the whole CD from beginning to end in Surround, but the discussion about this classic makes it worth watching.
+Another example of one style of music placed like bookends against another is "Prince of Peace" immediately followed by Savatage's "Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12/24," one of the most powerful songs you'll ever hear -- Christmas or otherwise.
+Today, however, as an experienced music listener, it is very clear to me that the material here is awfully dated and shallow. The huge beats on "When The Going Gets Tough", which was his only #1 hit, and his second biggest hit "Get Out Of My Dreams" were really catchy and even enchanting to me as a child, but if I listen to them now in the library at Melbourne University they seem awfully dated. The same is true of the earlier "Carribbean Queen", whilst "License To Chill" is even worse in this respect.

In this instance,if you like KISS and you love things that bring back certain memories,then you will love this video/DVD. It takes a clear look at the beloved and awesome reunion tour KISS had in 1996 that saw original guitarist Ace Frehley and original drummer Peter Criss return to the group and also saw KISS putting both their makeup and costumes back on. You will see how the reunion happened,a biography of KISS(70's,a breeze through their 80's era,and briefly into the early 90's)and it talks about their reunion tour,and you get a brief behind the scenes look at the tour,some of which includes KISS rehearsing,Gene Simmons,Paul Stanley,Ace Frehley,Peter Criss on their tour bus,clips of their concerts,and I won't give away everything,but there are also some hot women to be found in this video!!! Now this video has EVERYTHING a KISS video(and especially videos that go into discussing reunions)needs-without question. It's really a shame that Ace Frehley and Peter Criss are no longer with the group-Ace left the group to work on his new solo album,and Peter was fired. It makes me sad to see musicians that great and that talented have to go through lineup changes,ESPECIALLY after they did a reunion tour. Anyway,like I said,this serves as a good memory for all KISS fans and it is a great behind the scenes look at their reunion tour,and it is also the best KISS video available,so just get it because it is awesome and KISS rocks!

+853	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Man, am I pleasantly surprised! Velvet Revolver has put together a melodic, foot stompin', sing-along-to-the-lyrics masterpiece. I was really apprehensive about "Contraband" sounding like an old 80's hair band. That's probably why it took me several months to buy the CD after its release.
+There are some decent songs on the album, which is why I did give it a generous 4 stars. The opener `Sucker Train Blues' is a good fast paced rock song, reminiscent of GnR, without the electrifying guitar solos. Guitar solos surprisingly live short on this album, which, considering the pedigree of Slash, is a big letdown. Then comes an onslaught of average rock songs, mixed with a few good ones. `Illegal I Song' has an extremely catchy chorus, but wears off after a while. That sums up this album, wears off after a while. Just like Audioslave, it becomes `samey'. `Fall To Pieces' is a good slow song, and GnR fans will love it. With its mellow guitar riffs riddled with some excellent (rare) soloing, definitely one of the highlights on Contraband.

Comatose is packed from start to finish with songs you probably won't ever skip. The tracks just rock my face off. I would rate this album 6 stars if I could. Its that good.

+907	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	When I first heard Scott Weiland was going to spearhead another band with former Guns-N-Roses band members, I was totally dismissive. On numerous occasions I thought it would be the weaker incarnations of both bands, but when it came out, I bought it on its first week of release. Having listened to it, it's so simple and clear who's going to enjoy this and who isn't. Hardcore Blink 182, Simple Plan, and Yellowcard fans, along with fans of the latest bland identical-sounding bands to come out these last couple of years (Story of the Year), are going to tear this album apart. But fans of good guitar riffs and actual ROCK AND ROLL, along with bad-ass lyrics, are going to love "Contraband", and that's why I spread the word to other people how good this music really is. Weiland has always proved to be an outlaw, both in real-life and subsequently in his lyrics, and he puts it down, not only with mega hit single "Slither", but with "Big Machine" and many others, all 14 tracks total. This is an album created by rock veterans and it shows with a vengeance.

+7774	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Back when music came on vinyl albums with "sides" that you turned over to play, "Side Two" of this album got a workout on my turntable. It contains some of Sandy Denny's finest songs and finest singing, with two particular standouts, "Next Time Around" and the title song. On both, the qualities that those know and love in Denny come to the fore immediately---an earthy grit to her voice that is lovely rather than coarse,  songs that defy any particular time and era to connect with the listener, combined with arrangements that enhance both these other traits. They're beautiful. The rest of the album is only slightly less arresting than those two songs, but "slightly" is the important word here. With the exception of a rather rote version of Bob Dylan's "Down In The Flood," Denny is in top-form throughout, ably assisted by long-time cohorts including Richard Thompson, Gerry Conway and her former husband Trevor Lucas.
+3457	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This CD can be divided into two parts, really. There is the more traditional Santana world music sound, and the artist duet sound. Both are good, however, fans who only know the CD from the mainstream single "Smooth" are definately missing out on a lot more musical depth that is present here. Of the songs that do not have the help of any outside artists, (De La) Yaleo best showcases Santana's salsa influences and world music sensibility. Most of the duets are quite good, especially Put Your Lights On with Everlast, which has a downbeat mood to match the lyrics of the song, Love of My Life with Dave Matthews, which sounds very much like a Dave Matthews Band song guest starring Carlos Santana on the guitar, and Corazon Espinado with Mana, a great rock en Espaol song. Overall, the entire CD is good, and worth owning.

+First we meet the unnamed secret lover, the one wearing the black miniskirt. The song is more about her than Abbie, the clueless woman who does not know about her partners secret lover. I am not big on some of the Dans opening tracks, and like Last Mall; Gaslighting Abbie fits in that category. It is not bad, just not among their best. It has a funky beat but not a lot else going for it. What A Shame About Me I find to be even worse, as it is a boring song about feeling sorry for oneself. I don't need it.

While Stevie Nicks remains as popular as ever(Nicks' 2001 solo album,"Trouble in Shangri La" made it to #5 on the Billboard charts and easily sold platinum in a few weeks),Benatar's sales have diminished over the years and she has been pretty low-profile in the last few years,despite constant touring.

+As for the rest of the album, the raucous tunes are tons of fun to listen to, and Russell is clearly a very skilled musician and songwriter. There is an equal blend of rock, blues, and gospel styles, all tinged with a bit of slightly inebriated country (the inebriation being most pronounced during "Give Peace A Chance"). It's obvious that everyone involved (many of them very famous and respected in their own right) had a blast making this album. I don't really know why some people say he's an acquired taste...if you can't acquire a taste for this there must be something wrong. A very great album, highly recommended to all.
+ Spectacle...a hard rocker with popish harmonies about an easy girl whom some suckers fall in love with and are embarrassed by what should be embarrassing her.
+Yet 'Ram' is quite satisfying musically.  Instrumentally, the intricate musicianship found throughout is exceptional.  Although "Home in the Country" isn't up to the tracks on 'The White Album,' (most notably "Mother Nature's Son"), it is certainly reminiscent.  Even rockers like "Smile Away" and the aforementioned "Eat at Home" are almost archetypes of catchy, likable pop music.  'Ram' doesn't have a single dud for appeal (even if the whimsy of "Monkberry Moon Delight" isn't nearly as substantial as "Rocky Raccoon").  Maybe Paul didn't have a lot to say, but what he did say was heartfelt.  A known environmentalist, he settled down on his Scottish farm to get away from it all.  His love of wife and country are apparent.  Escaping to an oasis of love and nature isn't trivial to people who hold the simpler pleasures dear.

+Yet, regardless of the lavish, chirpy production or the absurd "Gershwin" comparisons Bedroom received, the sentiments of the songs are as dark & jaded as ever. Here domestic unrest meets morning-after malaise. The infectious "insult & flattery" of "Beyond Belief" soon gives way to the eviscerating self-portrait of "Shabby Doll".  The best way to sum up might be: all the strings in the world couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
+ Right off the bat one realizes this isn't your typical Horner score. 'The Cornfield' starts off with eerie ambient sounds, and then a solo horn comes in and plays one of the main themes on top of that. Eventually a solo piano starts playing the other main theme. Both of these themes are utterly beautiful, and quite "Americana". The next track, "Deciding to Build the Field", starts off retrospectively enough, but then kicks into a wonderful 70's rock style groove.

Impeccable musicianship and superb recording,  along with Krauss's unique vocal style and virtuoso fiddle playing combine  to make this CD a must-have for fans of bluegrass. In a word, masterful.
+The pacing of the show and the positioning of the songs are where this package achieves liftoff. Listening and watching, I felt a kind of peace that had eluded me all day.

Many people would ignore these two great albums because it does not have Ozzy Osbourne or Ronnie James Dio, but that would be a sin to miss out, because Black Sabbath seemed to show it's true, evil colors with Tony Iomi taking over the band. Every song on this album has it's own unique atmosphere, from acustic guitar intro's, to heavy demon growling guitars, to the hard pounding drums, and excellent keyboard playing. The songs seem to be about peoples dreams of heaven, and how they keep on hoping that it's the truth, but realize that it is not, and they keep on dreaming and feed themselves to a story of God when all they have is just each other and death at the end. At the time of this recording, the band line up was: Tony Martin (Vocals) Tony Iomi (Guitars)Geezer Butler (Bass) Bobby Rondinell (Drums) and last but not least Geoff Nicholls (Keyboards) This is possibly Sabbath's heaviest release.

Not that that's a bad thing, but I was hoping for a little more Steely-style rock in  the mix.  Those days are apparently gone.  The rhythm tracks are, as  always, well-manicured and dense.  The lyrics are typically smug, and the  musicianship is at the level we've come to know, love and expect from all  Steely-related projects.  There are some good funk licks and a lot of  smooth jazz, just no real show-stopping tracks on the entire disc.  I rate  Almost Gothic as my favorite here; the brass and sax textures and the warm  melody recall Aja-period Steely.  Gaslighting Abbie, which leads off the  set, features great funk basslines and some memorable harmonies.  What a  Shame About Me tells a great story about meeting up with an old flame, and  Cousin Dupree has Fagen drooling over his suddenly grown-up childhood  playmate.  It's nice to have new stuff to listen to.  All in all, not the  best Steely ever, but I'll take it.

+Myles Kennedy is a pretty middle of the road vocalist, but he has some hits and misses on this CD.  On some songs ("One Last Thrill", "Halo", and "Bad Rain") he wanders into vocal delivery that could only be characterized as whiny.

It is a hook-driven album that these days would sound incredibly overproduced, but for its time was no more than a superb mainstream, M-O-R effort from a rock & roll icon who was apparently far less conscious of "selling out" artistically than were his fans. Definitely a classic, "must-own" recording both for fans and non-Bruce fans alike.

+This time around, the band became more hard-rock oriented, thanks to the departure of lead guitarist Bernie Leadon and the addition of Joe Walsh just prior to beginning work on the album.  In many ways, HOTEL CALIFORNIA, like their 1973 classic DESPERADO, is a concept album with various themes consistently running through it, thanks to the combustible nature of Glenn Frey's and Don Henley's songs.  Whereas DESPERADO was centered around the Old West, this album is centered around the dark side of urban life in Los Angeles--what one might call SoCal Gothic.  The almost supernatural feel of the title track and the highly-charged "Life In The Fast Lane" contrast quite well with Frey's heartbreak classic "New Kid In Town" and Henley's epic closer "The Last Resort."  The most poignant moment of the album is almost certainly Henley's own "Wasted Time", inspired in large part by a real-life breakup with girlfriend Loree Rodkin.

+The documentary itself is interesting enough, and refuses to paint Allin as either saint or sinner (surprising for a filmmaker who'd been in contact with Allin for five years), letting the viewer make his own judgments on that score. And viewers should, without doubt, though the pervasive language and nudity (both Allin himself and drummer Dino often performed naked or nearly so), strong sexual content, and what I can only describe as adult situations (despite the infantile nature of same) is likely to put the vast majority of viewers off ever renting this. But the real value in the DVD release, and the most ironic portion of it, is fifty minutes of extra footage recorded on the last day of Allin's life. The footage shows the soundcheck and aborted (halfway through the second song) legendary set at New York club The Gas Station, often considered the most violent set the band ever played (it has been reported numerous times that over a hundred attendees rioted after the show was shut down), and about thirty minutes of Allin's antics with Dino and a core group of fans afterwards while they went on a quest for heroin. What emerges in this footage is a picture of G. G. Allin that, while not diametrically opposed to the stage presence and the person that emerges from interviews, is certainly a different, and fascinating, side of Allin's character. In the documentary, Allin is characterized by almost everyone as a complete misanthrope, a person who would just as soon kill you as look at you. The footage of Allin wandering (naked, at the beginning of the trek) around the streets of New York City with eight to ten others and twenty or thirty following at a distance shows a smiling, affable guy who's usually got his arms draped around one or two people, haranguing police but never turning nasty about it, acknowledging fans with smiles and victory signs (yes, there are two fingers raised there), and generally being anything but dangerous-looking, as long as you look past the fact that he's covered in filth and (his own) blood. The end effect is to raise a whole lot of questions about a person for whom society assumed it already had all the answers. The documentary itself is capable; releasing the final footage with it is brilliant. ****

+The DVD only has one extra feature, a documentary which Happenstance created, that focused in on Elton John, reflecting the career he helped to spawn, years ago. Even his bandmates also talk about what it is like being on stage with Elton. The documentary also shows a behind the scenes look at the music from Elton John's record, The One, and also a look at what made the tour a spectacle worth seeing all over again. Sadly, it also features commentary by the late Gianni Versace, who was tragicly murdered in 1997. He seems to give a happy-go-lucky detail about what it is like to be a part of the mania with Elton, and what his plans for the future seemed to be, before he lost it all away.

So I purchased the DVD for 12.99 and it was a good buy. The production values are decent and there's lots of band footage from concerts and television (mostly TV) and the two lead singers (Flo and Eddie?) add a lot of commentary along with others members of the band. Sound quality is excellent, even on the old TV shots, and some of the newer TV shots the sound is even better. "Elenor" played on a television show is presented here where the band actually performs the tune instead of lip-syncing the hit (an all too common practice)and give a crackerjack performance, to boot! A good effort for a good solid band that bridged the pop gap from the 60's into the early 70's.

+Mack is most noted for his ability to play melody and rhythm simultaneously. His powerful country-blues sound has a good feel to it, and he is flawless at giving us good-old music. "Double Whammy" is a remake of "Wham!" with Stevie on the second guitar (this was SRV's first record that he owned as a kid and he played it so much his father broke it - it's understandable why he played so much). Mack duets vocally with SRV on "If You Have to Know". All of the songs on this album are keepers.

+9013	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I had the opportunity to listen to all 6 volumes from beginning to end. And while they all show Zappa in different bands and performing various versions of some of his  most difficult pieces, I would say that on the average, about 25% at most of each release would be considered "good". And by GOOD I mean a great song, with or without a great guitar solo or instrumentals that would blow you away. Personally, his "Flo and Eddie" period, is his worst. The off-key castrato singing of the thoroughly unfunny fat duo is - again, in my humble opinion - an abomination and frankly, a drag on the whole show. Zappa's various bands are the cream of the top performers of their time, and this pair of clowns do nothing for the music.

+While I usually hate intro tracks of any sort, I've always liked "Future Legend," which segues very nicely into the title track and ends memorably with Bowie shouting, "this ain't rock n roll! This is genocide!" "Diamond Dogs" would've fit well with the sound of the previous 2 albums, but not the lyrical content. Ziggy had apocalyptic tracks like "Five Years," but Diamond Dogs is a lot darker and just weirder, and nowhere is this more evident than in "Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (reprise)." It consists of 3 tracks but they all flow smoothly into one another. This is my vote for the best song Bowie has ever done. The vocals are extremely weird, and I love the layering in the chorus. The BBC documentary Cracked Actor had Bowie sitting around with cutups trying to explain this, but he was on so many drugs at the time it made little or no sense. It is clear that it is Burroughs-inspired, moreso than Orwell-inspired, by listening to it. He gets the atmosphere very well, and the guitar and saxophone solos are very well-done (and I hate saxophones usually).

+Musicians - all the good Fairport associated people are here - Richard Thompson, Pat Donaldson, Gerry Conway, Trevor Lucas and Ian Whiteman.

But my personal fave is "The Sea Captain" where Richard Thompson's delicate guitar picking perfectly compliments the beauty of her wayfaring love song. For sure there is a dry-as-stale-bread plodding feel to "The Optimist"  but I do like the same strangeness in "Wretched Wilbur" resplendent with strings that make it feel melodrama-epic in a Nick Cave kind of way.

+As a teen, back in 1970, I listened to all that and enjoyed the circularity of the ending-- the album starts and finishes with the same chimes. Now that I'm considerably older, I appreciate the larger theme of a contemplative backward look at one's life, the hope of regeneration and dreams of a second chance at carefree childhood. It is perhaps this last thing more than any other that fuels our passion for nostalgia and the fond recollection of the good old days.

To quote Aldous Huxley (speaking of a different tenor): "[This is] a piece, which at ordinary times, I would go out of my way to avoid hearing...[but here] Leoncavallo's throaty vulgarity seemed not only refined and sincere, but even beautiful, positively noble."

They pick three great album songs to sing in the concert; Still Waters, Closer Than Close, and Alone. They also include all of their #1 hits, medley or all throughout, except for Loves You Inside Out. But it has all the Saturday Night Fever songs, Tragedy, Too Much Heaven, To Love Somebody, Lonely Days, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, I've Gotta Get A Message To You, Nights On Broadway, Run To Me, Massachusetts, and other great all time favorites. The only thing I don't like is Celine Dion's part with the BeeGees in Immortality because personally, I never liked her. Barry also talks a little in the concert. A woman in the front row gave him a towel to wipe his sweat off with and give back as a keepsake! Olivia Newton John is also in the front row with her daughter. Barry's daughter comes out towards the end to give flowers out to the brothers and Maurice introduces the band to us just before the finishing You Should Be Dancing. So overall, they really did a great job putting this concert together and I'm sure it pleased millions.

Dispite all the talk of how angry Maynard is/was there is also a deep sense of someone working through that anger and pain in this album. He avoids the dark rock cliche and doesn't come across as one interested in stewing in his negative feelings (as is witnessed by some of his recent interviews) but instead as someone who wants to heal. His rants, while often bitter and angry, are based in retrospection and the quest for something better. As he says in the title track, "Don't just call me a pessimist, try and read between the lines. I couldn't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change, my friend."
+Unless you are a fan of traditional country and bluegrass, this may not be for you.  However, I would recommend giving this album a listen.
+There are many tracks that I absolutely love.  "Cry for Love" is a solid start and "As It Is in Heaven," "Someday," and the title track are outstanding.  But the high point of the album is the Trilogy, Tracks 8-10.  I think that all three of those songs are musically beautiful and lyrically powerful.  Quite honestly, the Trilogy is worth the price of the album.  And it concludes with several other good songs, like "Calling Heaven" and "I"m Waiting for You."

+There isn't a single weak song on this album. Tiny Dancer, Levon and the Title track are classics. This album has perhaps the most beautiful string arrangements of any of his albums (something that the critics of the time took particular delight in attacking as "pretentious").

His later 'pop-star' phase produced some wonderful music as well, but they lacked the artistic integrity and heartfelt passion of his early masterpieces.

+For over twenty years the Stones kept "Rock and Roll Circus" from being seen, apparently Mick Jagger was incensed that the Who's inspired anarchy eclipsed the Stones performance....the Who and nearly everyone else managed to outshine the phoned in performance by the Stones, except for Keith, who's rowdy guitar antics can't breathe life into the band. The following year I saw the revitalized Stones touring with Mick Taylor replacing the deceased Brian Jones on guitar. The Stones made it through the dark days of "Rock and Roll Circus" and managed to outlast the Who as the most enduring sixties band, but this performance was a pretty somber affair for the boys. My final reaction to the film was how many of the talented musicians in "Rock and Roll Circus" would be claimed tragically over the next few years. It is still hard for me to watch John Lennon's dazzling energy and often absurd brillance in the film and not shed a tear for his senseless death.

So many great shots from the original Pay-Per-View broadcast of this show and the original Pulse VHS tape are gone, notably the great shots of the screen at the beginning of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" with the lights dithered around the edges (which looks better than the film by itself, presented as a bonus feature on the DVD).  And the most glaring editing problem is they cut out the flying pigs at the end of the song "One Of These Days"!  (The pigs jumped out of the towers and down to the ground at the end of the song, but apparently PF has to pay Roger Waters royalties to use a likeness of the flying pig...so that has been cut out of the DVD.  And no I'm not thinking of the previous tour.  You can see the flying pigs on the original Pay-Per-View broadcast of this show.)

+2729	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	These lines of direct to DVD horror flicks to come along recently, the After Dark Horrorfest and more recently Ghost House Underground, usually feature a diamond in the rough among their various lineups. British import The Children is by and far such a film in this year's Ghost House Underground lineup, and it may in fact be the ballsiest horror film you'll come across right now. A family get together turns deadly when a virus infects the young children, which subsequently causes them to attack and murder the adults. As they fight for survival, it becomes clear that director Tom Shankland (The Killing Gene) is quite simply going for the throat of the viewer, as he pulls no punches in presenting some shocking scenes of brutality and bloodletting. Not to mention the fact that the film is actually suspenseful and it features a simply dynamite ending, The Children winds up being a blood-curdling shocker. The film's editing may be occasionally sloppy, but regardless of that, The Children is definitely worth your time if you're a horror fan. Be on the lookout for the gorgeous Hannah Tointon, who may in fact be a star in the making.

+So anyway, after buying and loving "Lateralus", I couldn't help but notice the exponential margin by which I preferred that album to this one.  This band put out such a phenomenal album, I thought to myself.  Why don't I enjoy the others this much?  So, I decided that this needed yet another spin.  I can't describe it, but after hearing "Lateralus", and realizing the full scope of what Tool is capable of, listening to this album was a completely different experience. I'm noticing every texture, every subtle nuance, and I can't describe what I'm hearing as anything short of incredible.  The weird segues in between songs that served as such a distraction before suddenly feel like they should actually be there.  Ok, so "Ions" is still WAY longer than it needs to be, but it's really not that big of a setback. And, it sounds really cool when listened to in headphones.

As part of the trilogy, it is slightly weaker.  The singles released from this album, "DJ" and "Fashion," are solid pop songs.  However, my favorite cuts are "Boys Keep Swinging" and "Look Back in Anger."  The latter has a fascinating video (Bowie was a video pioneer) showing Bowie as a painter in reverse "Dorian Gray" scenario -- whatever happens to the painting happens to Bowie.  Two rarely mentioned tracks, "Red Sails" and "Yassasin" (Turkish for "long life") are superior in many ways to "Fashion."  The most depressing track on this album is definitely "Repetition," which is about spousal abuse.  Bowie has a lot of interesting things to say on this album ... and it sets the stage for better works yet to come.

These days, it can seem  that nothing less than an authentic performance will do, whether that necessitates playing Bach on 300 year old violins or Liszt being played by a full-blooded Hungarian.  And with the amount of recordings becoming available from countries with few previous U. S. releases, it can seem that only a Russian ensemble can truly perform Russian music.  Slavyanka's CD proves that philosophy to be false: an American choir can deliver an excellent account of Russian choral music.

Then I got my new copy of Guitar World magazine in the mail with David Gilmour on the cover. In the interview, he states that the delay initially had to do with the amount of time it was taking to make a high-quality DVD out of an old video tape recording. When the delay began pushing the release into early '06, it was Dave himself who decided to push it up to September so as to stay out of the way of his new solo album and tour. So.....as much as we all wanted to blame (and get mad at) everybody from PF management to EMI records, it was the Chief himself who put this one on hold for awhile longer. Still, an awesome show, and well worth waiting for. Again.

+I absolutely love Raspberry Swirl.  It features a dark-haired Tori in a low-cut dark dress following a young lad through a dance club, ending with a meal wherein young Tori-like girls turn into pigs.  I love the part where Tori starts jerking and flopping around inside an elevator.  I think one secret behind Tori's beauty is the fact that she does not try to look beautiful.  In the video for the hauntingly beautiful song Hey Jupiter, she appears in a trancelike state, with black mascara smeared all around her eyes.  Caught a Lite Breeze features a more sophisticated Tori look which somehow reminds me of the 50s--full of imagery, it is a drama played out by Tori's ghost.  Tori makes a dazzlingly beautiful ghost, I must say.  Winter is a rather simple video that matches perfectly with this incredible song from Little Earthquakes.  Talula is another favorite of mine.  If I am not mistaken, there is one quick shot of Tori doing something interesting with her hands, and there is a certain look she gives in the midpoint of the powerful bridge that drives me crazy--that look lasts only a fraction of a second, but it says volumes.  Tori is always able to convey great emotion through her expressions.

Not long ago I asked an old college friend, who was retiring from a lifetime of service to his flock as a Lutheran minister, what he might have preferred, if anything, to being a pastor.  His answer: a bass player behind Gene Harris.  (He made it clear he would not have wanted any solos, or to be considered a threat to Ray Brown, Mingus, or Scott LaFaro, but simply to be a steady and supportive "walker" supplying the carpet, or foundation, upon which Gene Harris could construct his masterful, ceaselessly swinging creations.

At first I was disappointed.  Not quite as hooky or instantly "gettable" as some of Costello's older material, it's one that over time has grown to be my favorite.  While musically it may be less accessible (at first), lyrically it is Costello with his finest, most caustic, biting wit expressed in screams and shouts that make you feel like your in the recording booth with him.  "Blue Chair" is probably one of my favorite Costello songs, ever, and that's amongst many others I could throw in that.

But for fans who see the Animals as the second best English R&B group of the British Invasion after the Rolling Stones, this 22-track collection deserves prime consideration if no other reason than all of the tracks come from the ABKCO masters and utilize Direct Stream Digital (which is what ABKCO successfully used in the Rolling Stones albums reissued in 2003).

It is the album that brought Santana back firmly into the spotlight, yes, but is nonetheless a masterpiece, vibrating with musical brilliance and creativity seldom seen in music today. It rightfully won 9 Grammys and scored numerous radio hits including "Smooth" and "Maria Maria." What makes this such a special album is how Santana and his incredible band come together with artists from such diverse musical styles and create beautiful, hypnotic, masterful songs, providing an exploration of every popular music style of the past few decades. The opener is wonderful Latin flavored dance music with a nice jazzy feel in some areas. But the album really picks up steam with the second track, "Love Of My Life," collaborating with Dave Matthews and Dave Matthews Band drummer Carter Beuford, they create one of the album's classic, timeless tracks. It is samba mixed with jazz and classical style and really manages to create atmosphere and mood. Matthews' vocals are milky rich and very cool and jazzy. The next track, "Put Your Lights On" is Santana showing off a darker, heavier side with threatening, deep lyrics and a solo of pure metal virtuosity. "Samba Pa Ti" is a cool taste of Brazilian-styled music and some of Santana's best soloing in the album. And of course, next comes "Smooth," THE song from this CD. It conquered the airwaves in that active summer of 1999 and is still very much played today. It is exhilarating salsa-flavored hard rock featuring the Santana band playing like never before. Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 does a great job here and wrote the song which sounds like hip street poetry with an edge ("my muequita, my Spanish Harlem mona lisa"). Santana though, steals the show here with rhythmic, brilliant guitar work. The only weak number here is "Do You Like The Way," which was made with Lauryn Hill. Granted, Hill is a very good artist, but here we get a song where we are always waiting for it to get SOMEWHERE but never does. It is the only boring number in the entire CD. "Maria Maria" is artistic in an interesting way, inventive and also sounds like cool street poetic rhymes. The final track, "The Calling," is an energetic solo with Eric Clapton but takes on more the form of simple jamming than a complete song. It works, but I expected more would be done with an artist of Clapton's calibur. Still, it is a great jam nonetheless. "Supernatural" is a milestone in Santana's career, his lightning-finger work is stainless and he manages to create unique sounds and makes his guitar sing like no other guitarist can. It is always required that when one lists the great electric guitar rockers of all time, Hendrix, Clapton, Vauhguan, one must put Santana on that list. Here is one of his greatest accomplishments.

The sound and picture is quite good considering it had to be remastered and the task behind such a project (4 hours of footage...). Of course, 5.1 channels would have been the ultimate, but this stereo version lives up to expectations.  This DVD gives great insight in the process of recording an album and touring, with all the up and downsides, including little things that go wrong. Handpicked concert footage including the awesome Freddie Mercury Tribute concert adds to the lineup.  A must for anyone interested in Metallica, but beware if you're just "sort of" interested, 4 hours is a long time...
+Every song is a classic.  "Oh Pretty Woman," "Blue Bayou," "Only the Lonely," et al, are given the red carpet treatment.  Even the lesser songs are familiar and are welcome additions from his repertoire of passionate love songs. Each celebrity player is in awe of Orbison, and each contribution is done with the same devotion.  The extended versions of the songs don't make them tedious like many concert performances do.  They are, rather, playful and engaging.  We don't want them to ever stop.  The interplay from these worshipping guest stars also is entertaining.  It is hard to criticize this DVD.  The shots of the audience (including ones of Kris Kristoferson at one of the tables in the gathering) are lively and fun.  The editing of the enthusiasm of the band gives us glimpses of the brilliance all around.  Occasionally, a guest walks past the camera, but this only makes the affair more informal and intimate.  If you love vintage rock and roll, this is a must-have video.

+9792	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Out of my ridiculously extensive record collection, "Low" is in my Top Ten. I was floored when it was released because it combines the talents of two of my very favorite artists. This is the first album in what is now referred to as the Berlin Trilogy, Bowie's collaboration with composer/ambient god/theorist/producer Brian Eno. "Low" was followed by "'Heroes'" in '78 and "Lodger" in '79 and the subsequent music got progressively (regressively?) more pop/rock and less experimental. I should note that "Low" came out at the (arguable) height of the punk movement so it sounded like nothing out there at the time and after the hit-and-miss blue-eyed soul of "Young Americans" and "Station To Station", this was a consistently brilliant surprise.

+From my vantage point several feet away from the band, I could see Stevie's incredibly powerful looking hands / fingers bending these big strings as if they were slinky little pieces of wire. In addition to the heavy strings he used, it also looked as if he had his action set relatively high as well. For non-guitar players, I can assure you that the combination of big strings coupled with high action takes alot of hand strength to coax the sounds you want out of your guitar.
+Anyone who listens to 'Fall to Pieces' will quickly turn and say, 'This sounds like Sweet Child of Mine.' True, but the song still remains one of the best on the CD. The song is like 'Sweet Child', but has that STP vibe that was so present on No. 4 and Shangri La Dee Da. The song reminds me of that feeling of saying 'Screw It', but never going through with it. All in all, I really like this song, a lot.

And, I must say, I like the earlier version of T. Rex better. No  cocaine, no arguments, no greed. Just straightforward music. "Life's A  Gas", "Twentieth Century Boy" (Featuring the outfit worn by  Marc that led to Ziggy Stardust), "Jeepster", and "Ride A  White Swan" are all great versions.

Even his very best work, (Uncle Meat, Freak Out, Hot Rats, We're Only In It For The Money, and Weasels Ripped My Flesh, to name just a few), is replete with dreadful flaws and grandiose missteps.

While performing these songs the legendary band's enthusiasm for this wonderfully uplifting music is highly infectious and makes listening to and watching this DVD a euphoric experience. The earlier "classic" Yes works are performed reasonably well, although perhaps not quite up to the level of versions available on other recent DVDs (such as Live at Montreux for "Awaken" and Songs from Tsongas for "Yours is No Disgrace"). Igor Khoroshev does a pretty good job subbing for Rick Wakeman. Billy Sherwood joins as a 6th member of the normally 5 piece group and his contribution is an added bonus.
+Plus, Denny Laine's "The Note You Never Wrote", Joe English's "Must Do Something About It", and Paul's "San Ferry Anne" are just beautiful songs.

+The last song, "Opiate", is perhaps the most different of the group. This song feels like grunge, or at least blues-influence rock, and is calmer than the other songs on the CD. This song is also the longest song on the CD, and feels like progressive with occasional alternative influences in addition to metal. There are occasional flashes of thrash metal on this song, but it remains a harbinger of Tool's later CDs where the progressive became more predominant. This song does have a somewhat acid-rock ending, which is fitting since Tool's music often seems to have a strong retro influence.

The album starts out great with Sucker Train Blues the riffs just took me a way, than here the profanity and the greatness of Do It For the Kids and just rocks on. Spectacle is the best song on the album, but the rest (maybe not the ballads) are just awesome and you will want to listen to again and again.
+As stated elsewhere, the first disc in this volume, and some of the second as well, deal primarily with the topic of sex. There is a lot of audience participation on this volume, reminiscent at times of "Tinseltown Rebellion," with selections like "The Madison Panty Sniffing Festival," and all the spoken word parts, like "Farther O'Blivion." He was well-known for going back to earlier material and redoing it with new treatments of similar themes, the format of practically the whole of "Tinseltown Rebellion." And he brought the audience out from their inhibitions, in "Make A sex Noise," and "Tracy Is A Snob." Of course, there are references to egregeous practices, but given a light, humorous take, as in "Lonely Person Devices/Ms. Pinky." Some people can't pull this off, they make you feel dirty after listening, but Zappa's humorous take on these things comes off as well as someone like George Carlin, a true master of language and culture himself.

Aenima crushes the two planes together into an intimate and long overdue embrace, and it all begins in the very first percussive pangs of "Stinkfist".  The album's message becomes clearer as the music and lyrics run a vast thematic gauntlet: a desensitized and numb society, the alternately dark and uplifting consequences of our own free will, the fallibility of human relationships, and a divinity that reaches out to us from beyond the immediate world.  The lyrics provide a platform to elucidate the songs' meaning, but the songwriting and instrumentation carry the true life force of the album.  As the disc progresses, several un-songs knit together the various pieces of the album into a formidable whole.

+Rainmaker is a very haunting song with an intense misty atmosphere with some ceramic percussion. Sky Juice is a breathtaking song with very electronic synths and some jet sound effects with some thumping beats and a cool bass. However that is nothing like the next one. Cape Perpetual is beyond any word I can describe about this song. It's a very spooky track. It starts of with some strange breezy wind instruments and some thundering sounds in the distance. At about 30 seconds there are some synthesizer hums that fade in. The sound of the synth humming almost scared me at first listening. It then becomes a dark very space oriented song with ceramic percussion and thundering jet sound effects. I could close my eyes listening to this song and imagine myself traveling on the Orient Express through oriental space. This song alone makes this album a five star. Gentle Was The Night is a very beautiful song with just mostly synths. This is a great song. Fire Ritual is a very pop oriented song and some vocal doodling here and there. This is probably the brightest song on here. 87 Dreams Of A Lifetime lives up to the title. This is a very stunning and could rank as one of his best 80s tracks ever. It starts with just some ambient synths and the synths get louder and at about a minute into the song the real music begins. This is a haunting song with a catchy rhythm and a space jazzy stmosphere. This is my second favorite off this album. Dimension D is a very space oriented song with some haunting sound effects and a very dark ambient atmosphere. Forever The Optimistic is a pop oriented song with great electronic bass, a great hook and some synth tinklings throughout the song. I almost cryed when I first heard this song and today I consider this song a new age classic. Journey To Yoroba is another haunting song. It has lots of ceramic percussion and ambient synths. I love the drum loop to this song. The closing title track is great with more great synths and cool drums.

It boasted 7 Top 10 singles, tying the record, which still stands, for the most Top 10s from one album: "Cover Me" (#7), "Dancing in the Dark" (#2), "Born in the U.S.A." (#9), "Glory Days" (#5), "I'm Goin' Down" (#9), "I'm on Fire" (#6), and "My Hometown" (#6). It is also remembered as the first CD to be manufactured in the U.S., as previous releases on CD were manufactured in Japan. The songs are a mish-mash of styles, sometimes self-consciously poppy and seemingly engineered for commercial success. A more processed sound, characteristic of the 1980s, is emerging. Thematically, "Born in the U.S.A" is a transitional work, a bridge between the fiery youthfulness and intensity of his previous albums and the more world-weary, contemplative tone of his following albums, beginning with 1987's "Tunnel of Love". As we might guess, Bruce Springsteen was nearly 35 when this album was released, leaving behind the last remnants of youth.

Elton John first came on the music scene in 1969.  Once his 1970 hit "Your Song" of his self-titled "Elton John" (his second) album was released, it would begin one of the most consistent music careers in the history of music.  In fact, from 1969 until 1991 - there wasn't a calendar year that passed without the release of some sort of Elton John album.  Even after that, Elton would only miss 2 calendar years without a release between 1991 and 2004 (those years being 1998 and 2003).  On the plus side, not only has this given Elton John a level of consistency that has been unsurpassed, but it also has allowed him to build up an incredibly large music library.  There is a minus side:  With such frequent album releases, Elton's albums are often diluted.  While there have been dozens of legendary tracks by Elton John, there aren't too many "complete" Elton albums that I would dub of legendary status.  In other words, his albums usually contain 1 to 2 great tracks with the remainder of the tracks being lukewarm at best.  There is one Elton album that does go against this pattern - where Elton does deliver a very solid collection of tracks - his 1971 collection "Madman Across the Water".

+We all know the highly melodic and famous "Rebel Rebel" guitar riff, "Rock 'n Roll With Me" has a verse melody that's better than the chorus (IMO), but "We Are the Dead" is quite possibly the best song on the album.  *This* is one of the creepiest vocal melodies I've ever heard.  It's just awesome, seriously.  Bowie goes for the dark side of the glam rock movement here, and it works brilliantly.

This is probably the most comprehensive compilation available (short of a box set).  Ace Records is an outstanding reissue company.  But, when you order this through the CDNow Preferred Buyers club you'll receive The Very Best of Jackie Wilson as issued by Rhino Records.  This version has about 8 tracks less than the Ace release.  CDNow doesn't even carry the Ace version and the $9.99 price is a misprint.  Don't get me wrong though, the Ace version is definitely worth the extra five bucks.

+7693	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Totally amazing! I had the great fortune in live in California for a few years and now back in the UK, I am aware how different the Spirit of Place is back there to here. This soundtrack accomplishes something that no other  music or other medium has done for me, touching my soul with this Spirit  that I loved so much and want to touch every now and then, to remind myself  it was real. The spectral (yet very physical) player asks as he disappears  into the Cornfield: 'Is this heaven, or what?' Yes this movie says and  don't forget it! The music is generally quiet with no razamatazz, in fact,  the whole CD seems a meditation on the quietude of the warm, balmy night.  This tone picture is of the heart of America where the Corn grows and the  Spirit of America in this fantasy, fresh, clean and pure bubbles from its  original source. The repeated piano motiv, gentle, leaving almost a  question mark in the silence is answered by the stillness and the heat of  the night. The use of pan pipes as the baseball spirits appear and  disappear in the corn provide an eerie almost Native American taste, almost  whispering to me that this special Spirit, the magic of transformation, if  we could see it, could from this source; thereby answering my concern of  its lack back home here. However, like this music in totality it is subtle  and under played, it is impressionistic, leaving you the benefit of making  your own inferences from its suggestion for it would tell others something  totally different. The orchestration and arrangement throughout is spare,  relying very much on a solo piano although the depiction of the certain  scenes like the Old Ball Players have been given a period flavor with jazzy  and blues overtones. However, the underlying feeling is of magic, of  transformation, of transcendence that goes to the heart of the American  Dream. With our hero in the movie we don't understand what is going on but  we are aware that we are part of something much larger than ourselves and  we just have to sit back and enjoy it, going along for the ride. It depicts  Life as not threatening, but as warm and kind as Doc Moonlight's Memories  of his lifetime of care in his Minnesotan Community show. The message comes  down to something like: You can make it, you will achieve it, this is what  can be done if you just believe in what you do and do what you believe in.  This is what the movie and the music tells me and reminds me of ten years  ago when I stood under those same skies, communing with the Spirit and  listened to the quiet of the warm night and believed....

The centerpiece of our story is an elderly man, George Leroy Tirebiter, who sits awake late at night, an insomniac impatiently spinning through the TV dial. Every so often George comes upon movies he appeared in decades earlier: Peorgie and Mudhead in "High School Madness" and a Korean War picture. At the very end of the album, after another long, exhausting night, a wrung-out Tirebiter gets a "wake-up" call from his answering service. The lady informs him that he has several messages from Stan Laurel, Babe Hardy, Mr. Roach and HONK! HONK! ("he wouldn't leave his name"). Tirebiter remembers them all and brightens considerably. Suddenly he hears the chimes of an ice cream truck off in the distance and George excitedly tells the answering service that he has to go, because "they NEVER come up in the hills!" Georgie chases after the ice cream man, nickel in hand, and at fadeout he magically transforms into a little boy.

It ended up being one of the better albums after "Point of Know  Return".  Though parts of the album are somewhat bland, it is a solid  effort and is worthy of being placed in the same genre as  "Leftoverture" "Point of Know Return".

I really don't understand the complaints that some fans are expressing concerning the video portion of the program considering, as I said that it was originally shot in video, a limited format in terms of color balance and saturation.

+As she usualy does, Susannah choses songs from a wide variety of composers.  The title tune, by Jobim is a standout.  Susannah continues her love for Gershwin by giving us a couple of his efforts - "Fascinating Rhythm" and "Who Cares".  And we get a song from Satchmo - "Swing That Music" and of course, the Duke, with "Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me".  Dizzy Gillespie's "Breezin' Along with the Breeze" just about sums it all up and is one of my favorites. And finally, "Can't Take You Nowhere", by Dave Frishberg (who is heard on piano on this one and plays on seeveral of Susannah's CDs (Aside - Dave Frishberg is an artist worth checking out. If you've heard Peel Me A Grape, Quality Time and Van Lingle Mungo, you know who this is).  Her duet with him on "Everything's Been Done Before" is definitetly worth hearing.  There is also a song titled "P.S. I Love You", which is not the Beatles song but a beautiful and poignant song written by Johnny Mercer in the 1930's.  Listen to the lyrics and they are just as relevant today as when they were written nearly 70 years ago.

"For Calvin" is a weird dissonantly arranged beast that could test your patience. I love the boogie-woogie keyboard break of "Cletus Awreetus Awrightus" and the quirky horn toot's and vocals near the end of the song are hilarious. "Eat That Question" incorporates a bit of blues into a loose-formed jam with some great keyboard and guitar work, and finally, "Blessed Relief" is a quiet, moving, intricate ballad that is the perfect closing song. What a wonderful jazz disc.

He said once that his brother was a genius, though I doubt that anyone really came close to Bill's ingenious response to dividing poitical issues and satirical view of a skewed america; worthy of Twain, Swift, Pryor, Carlin, Bruce, and Vonnegut, who carried the same burden with as much heft.

+Like all of us, Tony is getting older, but he still puts on a  great show and sings every song with the same emotion he did years ago. I  guess what I like about this album is that you can tell that Tony is  enjoying what he's doing. He loves singing theses great old songs to a  brand new audience. If you want a Tony Bennett album this is a very good  one, and I definitely recommend it. No, it's probably not the best, but it  is a lot of fun no matter how many times you listen to it.
+One point about the audience reaction shots shown in the video - or should I say 'unreaction'.  Wow, what a cold audience Sarah got landed with for this performance!  Check out the large block of the audience in the centre front who sat arms folded tightly throughout.  Spooky...

But, there is a ton of good information in the booklet with classic photos.  The sound is not remastered any better than the last issue of "Diamond Dogs and that goes for the 2nd CD as well.  I'm not sure why a silly song like, "Dodo" is here twice or why the K-Tel version of "Diamond Dogs" is included other than to fill up a disc.  The "Rebel Rebel" (US Single) is a nice version if you don't have it already and the 2003 version is fantastic!  If you saw Bowie on the last tour, this is what he sang!  But still, this is a collector's edition and does not offer much unless you are a true die-hard fan like me.  The truth is I can't wait until Bowie releases his next "Live" album next year.

+"Da Bumble" kicks off the album right after a solid intro. From this point on, we catch a glimpse of what the production will sound like throughout, although minimal, it bangs nicely. The production is mainly kept in-house, and is handled by Mike Mosley, Studio Ton & Funk Daddy among others. There are some stellar tracks here! "Sideways" featuring The Click's B-Legit & Mac Shawn is probably my favorite. The beat is tight, and is one of my favorite appearances from B-Legit. "Spittin'" is also one of my favorites. The album's front half burns brightly with bangers like these...it almost feels front-loaded with the goods, but truly boasts quality through and through. Then comes perhaps E-40's greatest single - "Sprinkle Me". The Click's Suga-T performs immaculately alongside Forty Water. The beat is tight and the lyrics are true to form. Other standouts are the aforementioned "Dusted 'n' Disgusted", and the breakthrough single "1-Luv". The quality of album tracks in the mix leaves the album free of filler.

+Viewers who were enchanted at the Royal Albert Hall concert will get a surprise here.  For one thing, Sarah's hair is all wavy.  For another, she sways around quite a bit, slowly waving her arms and body in a slow shimmy.  And she employs some bare-bodied male dancers, (q.v. Mae West, Madonna, Bananarama, etc.)  Not something I would have expected from her.  A group of these are dressed in cloaks as the monks chanting when "Eden" is performed, and then they whip off the cloaks and grappling and lifting Sarah up as she sings.
+Also, I highly recommend the DVD of Cream live:  "Cream - Royal Albert Hall - London May 2-3-5-6 2005 (2005)."  This disc, which provides a generous selection of songs performed over a four day period, features plenty of close-ups, sharp in-focus images, and high quality sound.  We get to see how craggy faced and wrinkled Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker have become.  Aspiring guitar players will be awestruck by close-ups of Mr. Clapton's whizzing fingers, as they dart about the fretboard.  We get song after song after song, including a furiously grand performance of Toad.  It is well-worth every penny spent.

Samantha Fox goes from Pop to Go-Go to Rock and to R&B- and she still can't get it right. Samantha can't carry a tune to save her life. Listening to this album was a waste of time.

On this CD there is rock, rap, R&B, pop, and the same old stuff that Santana has delivered for 30 years. Although I like every single track on the  album, The best ones were "Love of My Life", "Put Your  Lights On", "Corazon Espinado", "Wishing It Was',  "Primavera", and of course "Smooth". This CD surprised  me because I was never a Santana fan but one day I listened to it in a  record store and it was great so I decided to buy it.

+If the public is any measuring stick, The Eagles are one of the most popular bands in HISTORY.  I've been in radio for the better part of my adult life and in all that time the popularity of The Eagles has NEVER ceased.  Another wonder that they have been able to pull off is crossing the generation gap by being loved by people of all ages and backgrounds (similar to Pink Floyd). I don't pretend to understand it at all, but I have to admit, it IS interesting to hear a teenager request 'Hotel California' and no they are NOT a casual Eagles fan.  This album is one to savor over and over and one of the truly rare examples of classic rock music that actually IMPROVES over time rather than become stale like so much that was recorded in the 70's and viewed as 'timeless' music.  Not just good, but GREAT music from a band that proved with the release of 'Get Over It' on their fantastic 'Hell Freezes Over' CD that they can still produce seriously fantastic stuff.  Buy this CD.  Open up.  Listen.  Repeat.  Extremely Recommended.

+Chip Davis and the boys take some classic holiday songs and rearrange them in that distinct Mannheim Steamroller fashion, with plenty of synthesized sound and complex, funky rhythms.

+As for the rather weightless argument that "I'll  Remember" and "This Used to Be My Playground," because they  are videos from movies, aren't worthy of inclusion, I have this to say. In  my opinion, "Live To Tell" is Madonna's very best music video,  and it features footage from AT CLOSE RANGE, the film for which it was  originally written. Directed by AT CLOSE RANGE filmmaker James Foley,  "Live To Tell" features an elegant Madonna in floral print dress  with blonde curls pouring her heart out while riveting footage from the  intense film is interspersed throughout. Simple images like Madonna sitting  in closeup with her arms folded on a table and standing tall as her soft  bob blows in the wind are no less magnificent because the song is from a  movie. True, "I'll Remember" unimaginatively cribs from Madonna's  own "Rain," the video that directly preceded it (!), but do YOU  really care? I don't. I want to see it, and, evidently, so does everyone  else.

This is Fleetwood Mac's first performance together in over 10 years, since Lindsey left the band in 1987, filmed live on a LA soundstage before many of Hollywood's elite. The entire band rocks out on every single song - there is not one bad performance on this DVD. The sound of the band and the quality of the DVD sound is EXCELLENT. Above all, the interaction between band members, particularly Lindsey & Stevie, is PRICELESS. As Stevie Nicks said of this performance "As magic as it gets, it was." Stevie Nicks proves her standing as The Queen of Rock on every song, turning on all of her trademark moves, not to mention looking and sounding incredibly beautiful. Christine McVie, equally as graceful and beautiful, treats the audience to a few of her Fleetwood Mac hits, and Lindsey proves that Fleetwood Mac just isn't the same without him. The audience is treated to a few surprises, including an emotional "Landslide" (the version you hear on the radio was taken from this performance) which shows clear reconsiliation between Lindsey & Stevie, a visit from the USC marching band on "Tusk" (they also played on the "Tusk" album)and an AWESOME performance between Lindsey & Stevie of her Grammy nominated "Silver Springs". The album version of this performance was nominated for a Grammy & went to #1 on the charts - you'll wonder why it didn't win an Oscar for best real-life drama after you see this one! The only set back is that "Stand Back" and "Little Lies" are not included on this performance, yet you couldn't ask for more after you finish watching it! This DVD proves why Fleetwood Mac is one of rock's most legendary bands! You'll watch it over and over again!

My daughter fussed while we watched the video and we calmed her right there as we watched the techniques.  We can get her to sleep in less than 5 minutes, rather than try to calm her fussing for over an hour, like we had done before.

+Although Roy seemed to favor dramatic ballads more than rockers, this show also includes all of his best-known upbeat tunes such as "Pretty Woman", "Mean Woman Blues", "Uptown", "Candy Man", and the best performances I've ever heard of "Ooby Dooby" and "Move on down the line". Roy's backing band in this concert is Elvis Presley's former touring band from the 70's and they do a fine job of sticking to the original arrangements of Orbison's songs without trying to sound exactly like Roy's original recordings.

And well deserved that would be: the show is terrific, far away from the lands of new musicals such as IN THE HEIGHTS, SPRING AWAKENING or MOVIN'OUT which, good as they are, seem to appeal an audience who follows new paths in the musical theatre. This one does not attempt to become a revolution in the gender. Actually, it's closer to ANNIE, WICKED or OLIVER!, i.e., a simple story for young people with catchy and tuneful melodies. I haven't seen the play (yet) but, if you've seen the movie you will probably follow the musical - and the lyrics - quite well.

+I agree with the assessment that this one is more the classical side of FZ and Hot Rats is more the jazz-rock avenue, but there is ample crossover on each from one to the other in terms of style and compositional intent.  Anyway you slice it this is top-drawer, truly Progressive Rock in every sense of the word, wherein many styles and forms are united under the inclusive rubric of Rock, making a whole that is, at its best, greater than the sum of its parts.
+"Fantastic Voyage" gets the album off to a great start, a fairly nice and pleasant (and conventional compared to the rest of the album) slower-paced rock track.
+
+"Low" is definitely a collaboration and, of the 'Berlin' period of albums with Eno, the one that weighs heaviest towards Eno's solo album soundscapes. The second half of the CD is mainly that sort of sculpting, until the very end when Bowie coos for Shirley briefly on "Subterraneans." It's a chilly underground Bowie was searching for, and although "Low" doesn't hit the heights the following "Heroes" did (and that album is an unabashed classic), it still has the ability to evoke a deep resonance among those divided on how Eno and Bowie propelled each other towards a creative apex.
+8922	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I am stitting here reading some of the reviews of this album which Ihave had in my possession in one form or another since it came out in the early 70's.  I have to laugh becasue I never have seen so much ponitficating by so many on what is clearly describable: this is an album FZ did in the early 70's with a big band, some great improvisational moments and another reviewer hit the nail on the head when he described it as fusion music, which is what it is.  Of course Miles Davis invented fusion music and a lot of the early proponents were graduates of his band (John Mclaughlin, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, etc).  Anyway, this album succeeds in that vein.  No need here to speak of the talent of Frank Zappa, who could write, produce, arrange any kind of music. Period.

+Mel Torme is the next to arrive, with a whole troupe of carolers in tow.  Torme arranged a lot of the music on The Judy Garland Show, and he also wrote the holiday classic The Christmas Song.  He actually sings a new verse for the song on this night, after which Judy sings the famous chorus.  She does mess up a couple of times, but it's no big deal at all (and one can sort of forgive her for singing "rainbow" instead of "reindeer").  Out comes the eggnog, and then the whole gang launches into another medley of songs.  Judy's solo performance of What Child Is This? is simply beautiful.  Jack Jones and Mel Torme give us a harmonized duet of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, Liza and Tracy sing It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, and Lorna and Joe team up to sing a slightly imperfect version of Silent Night.  After the guests leave and the kids are put to bed, Lorna and Joe come back out to tell Judy she forgot to do something that she does every year for them at Christmas.  Watching Judy sing Over the Rainbow to her two youngest children makes for a perfect conclusion to the night's festivities.

This video is MINDBLOWINGLY AWESOME! for  real! This is the ULTIMATE Sarah McLachlan video compilation! I got a  superb Toshiba DVD Video Player for only 240 dollars, brand new at Best  Buy, and I'm so glad I bought this DVD video for it(although not at Best  Buy). The quality on this video is BEYOND OUTSTANDING, I don't know if it's  due to the video or due to the video player, I'm not sure, but I can tell  you one thing; you won't be disappointed by this supreme video, that's for  sure! Each video is done supremely(excuse my tireless use of the word) and  flawlessly, both audio and visually. It's as if Sarah is singing right in  your living room! Of course, the sound is CD quality sound and the visuals  are like digital or something, although when you watch it on the screen  they sound and look way beyond that. Another thing, the DVD video has an  awesome menu in which you can play any video from Sarah that you want(these  are ALL of her videos, by the way) and, on a separate screen not in the  play mode, actually view the ALBUM THAT THEY'RE FROM! You can view the  credits of each video, too, who directed it, produced it, etc.. There are  excellent background art, too, while viewing these screens. I was totally  mistaken when I wrote about the general DVD Video Player in my 'Video  Collection 1989-1994' review. When I wrote that, I was basing it on a DVD  video I saw in a record/electronics store in New York. The video, a movie,  was showing all the pixels on the huge screen clearly visible, and that's  no good. Well, back to this review. When you watch each of Sarah's videos  from the beginning to the end of the DVD, with each passing video you get  more and more drawn into it. It's absolutely amazing. Sarah's voice just  soars throughout the room (and throughout the house!). Can I give this DVD  Music Video 10 stars? You've GOT to get a DVD video player and make this  ABSOLUTELY SUPREME DVD MUSIC VIDEO your FIRST priority on your DVD wish  list. Believe me, you WILL NOT be disappointed.

Gone were the costumes and wires making him fly. His shows were powerfull and he let the dramatics come through with little more than his body movements, an occasional painted face and some interesting lighting. His performances were far more intimate than his former bandmates. He was trusting enough to surf the crowd long before Eddie Vedder was old enough to drive.
+8564	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Tool on this EP is obviously a young band, scraping together some tracks.  The tracks they scrape together are remarkable.  Like many early efforts, this album is o'erbrimming with energy, but most of the almost meditative discipline found on Tool's full length albums is found here.  It is the tension between these two forces, energy and discipline, that makes this album compelling. Lyrically, there's not all that much to write home about.  Vocally, there is a very very angry man with a beautiful singing voice.  Perhaps what is most surprising is that the tone of the band is evident even with these underproduced, early recordings: the truncated style of these songs contains the unique sound and style of all instruments involved, and they blend in a churning and tantalizing way.  So in closing, this album is an anomaly among debut albums.
+The first six tracks are as good of a sequence as you can get.  The segue from "Future Legend" to the outstanding "Diamond Dogs" is one of the best moments in rock history.  The next three tracks - "Sweet Thing", "Candidate", and "Sweet Thing Reprise" are to be viewed as a linear piece and it makes for one of the best epics and vocal deliveries of Bowie's career.  "Rebel Rebel" follows - it is one of Bowie's most popular songs driven by a godlike guitar line and danceable rhythym.  Sadly, after 6 awe inspiring tracks the album begins to slide downhill.  "Rock And Roll With Me" is one of the weakest Bowie songs I have ever heard, with [weak] crowd embracing lyrics and a pompous melody.  The CD redeems itself after that with a string of good songs, especially "1984", but despite the great lyrics none of these songs reach the heights scaled in the first half of the record.  Diamond Dogs ends on a very sour note with "Chant of the Ever Circling Skeletal Family" which is a downright irritating "rock n' roll chant" that goes on way too long and by the time a tape glitch ends the song I'm thanking God.

I am  sure, in her live performances,  she could come up with many new  stylisations in her songs which alas, I did not hear much in this video.  I  did not buy the video expecting to hear the same sounds which I could have  got from the audio CD.

+My favorite Zappa period is the first 5 or 6 years of The Mothers. I used to think "Uncle Meat" was just a side note compared to classics like "Freak Out" or "We're Only In It...", but I was wrong. This album touches on all the group's work of the period - the pachuco sensibilities of "Cruising With Ruben...", the hippie put-downs of "We're Only In It...", the Voices In the Piano from "Lumpy Gravy", the road anthropology of "200 Motels"... for me, "Uncle Meat" can be taken as of a piece with all those albums. Everything Zappa did in '67-'69 ties together for me. That's not to say this isn't unique in its own way - it is largely instrumental and complex, which was brave. And looking up info, I see this album hit #43 in Billboard in '69. Can you imagine?

+The album's stand out track, and instant rock classic 'Rebel Rebel' sepperates the two halfs of the album and does so perfectly. This classic among classic's made this one of Bowies biggest selling albums of all time and at this point in his career it was his biggest. The incendiary guitar riff is one of the all time greats and the amazing thing is it is not Mick Ronson because at this point he had left Bowie to go solo and The Spiders From Mars had broken up, no that is Bowie playing that killer riff showing off his amazing musical ability instrumentaly that is often over looked. Many don't realize he plays almost all of the saxophone on his albums, as well as helps to produce them. 'Rebel Rebel' seagues perfectly in to the lovley ballad 'Rock N Roll With Me.' a song full of Dylan's Blonde On Blonde style organ which does seem slightly out of place on the track but some how manages to find a niche. Also the lead guitar work once again is phenomonal.

In the album Aenima, tool really sets you off with roaring guitars, pounding drums, and Keenan's vocals. To tell you the truth, its very hard to put in words to say how great Tool really is. Just think if there was a scale from 1 to 100, I would pick something like 100,000,000,000,000/or mabye more. There is no reason that you can hate this band, no reason at all. So go out and buy this album and you will be suprised.
+Die-hard EC fans from back in the day will be in heaven, rediscovering this classic in a new light. New EC fans will also be very happy with this purchase. I can't imagine anyone not liking "Imperial Bedroom." Rhino's version makes ignoring this classic even more of a crime.

Just listen to all the changes Danny Carey makes in the song and you'll see what I mean. The song is about everything Maynard hates about LA and how he wants it to sink into the Pacific Ocean. "Don't just call me a pessimist, try and read between the lines" is one quote from the song.
+It goes without saying (I know, I've already said it) that the guitar work on Hotel California (by Frey, but especially Don Felder and Walsh) really kicks this album up a notch.

If you struggle with drugs or know someone that does the song "Your Better than Drugs" is a good song to listen to or to give to someone to listen to.  I personally know people that this album has helped them through struggles they are having in life and not only that the music is just very well written and performed if you have ever seen them live.

I am a die hard prog fan and ccm collector as well. This lp is musically balanced and the players show top notch ability and skill in each track. Her voice is as pretty as her face and she can vary her style from soft to intense. Worshipful as well as upbeat.
+Highlights include the jaunty and sweetly musical "Right Down The Line" and the fantastic train-song "City To City". Every instrument on the iconic "Baker Street" is suddenly in your face and has real power. And I'd forgotten just how beautiful "Stealin' Time" is - and with words that now seem sadly prophetic (lyrics above). His love of Irish music comes out in "Mattie's Rag" and the album finishes on the cool and upbeat "Waiting For The Day". The non-album B-side "Big Change In The Weather" makes its first appearance on CD here - and it's a cracker - a great track.
+Picking a favorite song from Burnt Weeny Sandwich is pretty difficult.  It's not an impossible task; it's just that each instrumental melody flows beautifully and oddly into the next one, and you have to take the entire album as a whole, and doing this makes it difficult to hear any obvious standout tracks.
+  If you look at the track list, it says I WANT YOUR SEX (Pt. II). Apparently, this isn't I WANT YOUR SEX (PT. II). George only put out I WANT YOUR SEX (PT.

+One other thing; leave out the  human race garage, it reminds me of those earth day people of the 1960s,  who were not in touch with reality.
+I have four absolute favorite songs on this album. First is I'm the Slime (oozin' out of your TV set...), which is a great protest against TV and the idiots who watch it. Zappa's satiric sense of humor is dead-on, and that's a great chorus! Another one I enjoy is Montana, with really funny, extremely weird lyrics that nobody but Zappa could come up with. Either this or I'm the Slime is my favorite song on this album, I'm not sure. Zappa gets a lot more raunchy with the X-rated riff rocker Dirty Love, with some disgusting lyrics ("A tacky pamphlet in yo' daddy's bottom drawer" is one of the milder lines), a great riff, cool backup vocals, and a hilarious ending that's totally perverted. NOT a song for family time. Neither is Camarillo Brillo, which takes on a similar perverted direction. I think this one would've gotten a lyrics sticker (lyrics stickers suck, by the way - so does censorship) had it been released today.
+'THE FINALE' which is the actors bows is unusual as the entire ensemble tap-dances to the musical excerpts from the show.
+For the uninitiated this more balanced mix is a great place to start, and may be enough of a sampler to satisfy all your "acid folk" needs. But then again, probably not...
+The one very questionable song out of the entire concert performance is the 17-minute "Be-Bop Tango" tune.  Musically there's not a lot to be gained from this... the actual music takes up about 30% of the song (the first 5 minutes).  The REST of it deals with audience participation that probably makes total sense at the concert but for everyone else... listening to something like this is sort of, well, pointless and even annoying.  You get tired of hearing Zappa pretty much humiliate a few people from the audience by asking them to dance to certain beats, and when they can't dance to them... Zappa takes advantage of the situation.  Not a particularly good song.  It needed trimmed by a good 8 minutes.
+3. Glenn Hughes and Chad Smith-Maybe I'm A Leo-A little fast, and also the production is a little loud for this song. Glenn Hughes sounds good, but the rest of it is uninspired. And all the vocal ad libs are quite annoying as with most of the singing. Chad Smith also pounds a bit TO hard.

It contains all of the tracks from Gail's debut album, which includes the album version of We'll sing in the sunshine, plus five bons tracks including the hit version of We'll sing in the sunshine, which isn't very different from the album version.
+But for all that it's still Paul's band, and he steals the show. He supplied Silly Love Songs, obviously, and the #3 smash Let `Em In (the kind of song you really oughtn't to like but do anyway). But he also wrote two bona-fide McCartney gems - Let `Em In's rip-roaring B-side (!) Beware My Love and Warm & Beautiful, a ballad that's exactly as its name implies - and a plethora of fine material for himself and his bandmates both. The upcoming stadium tour obviously directed the album's sound; although super-polished and confident in the studio, expertly embellished by touches of strings and brass, nearly every song is an arena-ready showcase. If the songs weren't improved in concert (and many were), they certainly didn't suffer.

+I wish I could say that Fleetwood Mac are rockers, but alas, they are little more than Lawrence Welk on steroids.  Sure, Don't Stop pushes the metronome to 40 mph from Fleetwood Mac's usual school zone 20 mph pace, but seriously rip-snortin' rock and roll this just ain't, brothers and sisters.  No matter how much Dolby 5.1 Surround and DVD fog-filtered quality you throw at this show, the music remains elevator quality drivel.  The passge of time has, in my opinion, shown the Mac's music to be thinner than the veils around Stevie's midsection paunch.

Manchester describes Garland singing as "the thrill of a lifetime" and she is fully justified. You'll see the dynamic Judy Garland belting out numbers like "Rock-A-Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody", "Swanee" (in color!), an emotional, glorious "Ol' Man River", the heartbreaking "As Long As He Needs Me", and crooning her trademarks "The Man That Got Away" and "Smile". You can tell that Garland is putting all her heart, and all her passion into her singing, and it is never more evident than when she sings "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" (as noted in the show, in memoriam of the recently assassinated JFK). To hear Garland's rich, indescribably glorious, anthemic rendition of "Battle Hymn" is enough reason to buy this tape, as is just about every number in the show.

+Disk two is the first time the Floydians have played Dark Side of The Moon in totality live.  If there has been a greater album, that touches the depth of us all, I have not heard it.  This version is simply one that you must have if you consider yourself a Pink Floyd fan.  Forget all the rivalries, all the mixed up stories and listen to Dark Side as it is meant to be heard.  If your speakers can take it, I'd suggest turning it to 11.
+What an album.  Some weak moments would be "In the Grip of a Tyrefitter's Hand" because of the vocals, NOT the guitar playing, but those moments are easy to look past because the band is so tight in every other area.  A classic!

Then later on my girlfriend bought King's "Tapestry" and I was struck by the way Taylor had duplicated her piano work in that song on his guitar, note for note. That's one thing that gets lost in the shuffle with everyone canonizing Taylor for his songwriting or his jazzy side--this man is a superlative guitarist. I'm glad that song got included in this set. It will be interesting to hear who sings which harmony part in the chorus.

Since this legendary and short lived band didn't have the material for two albums worth of material and their live shows were legendary, the trio of Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, and Ginger Baker elected to have the second disc of this set a live recording (much like The Byrds' "Untitled").

+9651	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	If Frank Zappa were alive today, I feel that he would be a full time composer.  This album, released shortly before his untimely death, is his best orchestral album.  The Ensemble Modern loved Zappa's music, and treated it with great care and precision, something that deeply impressed the master Zappa himself.  Zappa's music is nearly impossible to play (as he put it at times), but the ensemble does it superlatively.  My favorite compositions here have to be Ruth is Sleeping (a creepy piano duet), The Girl in the Magnesium Dress (a much better rendition than the synclavier version on The Perfect Stranger album), and the best one of all is G-Spot Tornado.  Zappa was extremely surprised that the ensemble wanted to attempt this song, but attempt it they did, and they did it wonderfully.  It's light years better than the Jazz from Hell version, showing that human beings could indeed play Zappa's amazing and demanding music.  It's sad that Frank is no longer with us, but his music will live forever....

I thought that video was the epitome of Irish dance. Then I  wittnessed the final closing moments of "Lord of The Dance" and  knew I had to have it. Next came "Feet of Flames" which I have to  admit, I enjoyed slightly more than LotD, because of the slower camera  shots.  Michael Flatley, in my opinion, is a fantastic dancer, who may have  an inflated ego, but with his phenomenal rise to stardom, he deserves it.  Give the guy a break. I think he's a pretty cool dude.  The dance troupe is  extremely capable, and the young ladies are genuine eye candy.  A special  salute to ms Anne Buckley whose charm and grace and melodious voice are a  treasure to all those who  would see her and hear her sing. I hope the  rumor is true that she will be making an album on her own. Best of  luck to  her. Finally, I feel that FoF and RD should not be compared with each  other, as some are won't to do. They are two different shows, and both  should be enjoyed on their own merit. Believe it, Feet of Flames is a show  to see. Live if possible,(when is it coming to Oklahoma)or at least by  video.

Consider: since its invention in 1928 and commercial release in the early 1930s, only one musician - Clara Rockmore - has been able to produce any real music on it.  Her performances are spellbinding and, if one sometimes years for, say, a whole sonata or something more substantial than encore pieces, think of how difficult it is to play ANYTHING on this instrument and be glad that we at least have this much.
+This recording, however, restores all the dash and verve into the pieces that were lacking in other recordings.  Sometimes the tendency is to take Bach and put him on a Romantic, 19th century pedestal.  Sure, he wrote some of the most profound music ever composed, and sure, he wrote some of the most complex and esoteric canons, fugues, and variations of his time, but I don't believe that Bach in his concertos was intending to preach a sermon or discourse on the meaning of life.  These are sparkling pieces, beautifully constructed and musically exciting.  Too many violinists these days drag down the tempo and try to play them with a more "profound" tone.  They disregard Bach's bowings and ignore the obvious character of the music.
+But I love Paul and Linda McCartney and Ram is worth a ton of smiles and laughs and good vibrations.  What have you got to lose?

Amazing...Slash and Myles just knocked it out of the park here!!

+What makes RAM superior to McCartney's first solo effort is the inclusion of other musicians (and not just novice Linda, who got equal billing here). Although decent on guitar and only fair on drums, the future Sir Paul's true instrumental talents lay in his bass-playing, which shines brightly on this record. "Monkberry Moon Delight" for example, is driven by the bass line.
+Warnes' vocals are a very good match for Cohen's words and she pulls it off seemingly both with ease and the right emotion.  There is really no point in picking out highlights - as they all stand by themselves and as a body of work.
+That all being said, it is a shame that so much was left behind.  Alas.

Stevie co-produced Mack's come back album as well as providing guitar work for half the tracks. If you're thinking this is an SRV album under a different name don't get too excited. Stevie had great respect for his heroes and he would never step on their toes.

+1276	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I didn't think anything of this disk when it first came out. I read bad reviews and so passed it up. When David Gilmour launched his web site and prepared to release On An Island I saw a snippet from this DVD on his new site. I was intrigued by what I saw, so I bought the Meltdown concert. Initially I was less than enthusiastic. The presentation is very simple- no bright lights, lasers or Pink Floydy explosions here. Just a guy and his guitar and a back-up band. As it turns out, the lack of flash is what makes this such a special DVD. It is the MUSISCIANSHIP that makes this so great. And the "back-up band" is very good!!! This is one of my favourite concert DVD's. I watch it all the time and it doesn't get old! David re-invents some classic Floyd (Shine On You Crazy Diamond fairs particularly well- both sections!). Also, Richard Wrights' Breakthrough (which I had not been familiar with prior to seeing this DVD) was a very pleasant surprise. The Syd Barrett songs are treated very nicely here- as if they were David' own. And the DVD extras are interesting (the documentary) to fantastic (the Elvis tune with the female vocalist whom I for the life of me don't recall her name). If you like music- if you like Floyd- if you like Gilmour- GET THIS DVD! Watch it a few times- see if it doesn't blow you away!
+9772	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The first side of the album is sophisticated pop prog rock like Alan Parson or Mike Oldfield. The story was that DB went to Berlin to get a taste of its electronic music scene and met with Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream. A planned collaboration was in the offing but never transpired and still a mystery. It would have been a different path had he ended up with this Teutonic musician. So DB linked up with fellow Anglo Brian Eno who is also a pioneer in his own league of electronic music and the product was LOW. Whimsical lyrics short singable and melodious songs from Bowie with electronics courtesy of Brian Eno. Side two all instrumental is dark, gothic with Brian Eno's soundscape dominating it with a little of Bowie's wailing and moaning much like music for a funeral procession. A good addition to your prog library..surprise "It's from David Bowie"!

+Part 2 of review
+  Besides the popular, Arizona, and, Silverbird, there are also two more Radio Friendly songs here that several of you will remember and I think both were severely underrated and should have done much better on the charts than they did and they are, And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind, and, Miss America. This is what I think about those two.......... Marks voice is stunning on the beautiful Neil Diamond Penned, And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind, and that song only reached the Top 50. Mark also gives another stellar vocal performance on, Miss America, and that one also only made the Top 50 and that song is so beautiful it is breathtaking. Turn the volume up and listen in awe ! The Top 50 nor does this review do justice to how beautiful those two Ballads are. That's the great thing about owning this CD though because you can listen to these four classics plus the other seventeen any time you want too. Several of Mark's tunes on this compilation are toned down and very mellow but I believe his talent is still as remarkable as it was with The Raiders. You and I both know that these twenty one songs are Oldies.....but they are definitely Goodies!.....Highly Recommended !

The selection opens with the  classic, "White Room", one of Cream penned hits. A brilliant cover of "Sitting On Top of the World" allows each member to demonstrate their chops. "Passing the Time" is a melodic tune with strings and light percussion during the verse, that segues into am uptempo chorus. "Pressed Rat and Warthog" is a trippy Baker spoken tune. Bruce's ripping "Politician" with it's catchy riff is a wonderfully heavy classic. "Those Were the Days" is a brilliant song with unusual harmonies through out. The studio album was assisted (produced and various instruments) by Felix Pappalardi, of Mountain fame. I was a little disturbed to hear how the limitations of sound recording technology of the time were not well corrected on this release.  None the less, a series of hits that define this group appear on the studio disk, and the live disk showcases the chemistry and energy this band exhibited.

+9781	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	David Bowie is quoted as saying "Cut me and I bleed Low," which is a very ironic statement considering the fact that Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars is considered his most famous album. Bowie is one of the most often quoted and bewildering figures this side of Madonna in all of pop and this quote is truly a head-scratcher. What could he mean by that? I think it is because of all his albums, Low is probably the one Bowie album that is most ahead of its time. At the time it was made, Bowie was recovering from his cocaine addiction and the title Low is very fitting since low is the opposite feeling a person gets when they snort cocaine. Low is the sound of a man struggling with his demons. Back in the late 70's, artists sometimes recorded side one of a vinyl or 8-track for their hits and side two for their more adventurous songs (or filler). On Low, Bowie somewhat gives in to the formula, except that side one is considered more accessible than hit-friendly and side two is just completely non-commercial altogether. This is Bowie's artiest album by far. You could even say this is his "Anti-Let's Dance", since although "Sound and Vision" got radio play, (but not a big hit by any means) it was intentionally not supposed to be heard across the airwaves. Bowie was recovering from his cocaine habit, so I am guessing that album sales were the furthest thing from his mind at the time. I think Bowie was attempting an album of catharsis, an album that could prove to the world that cocaine wouldn't tear down his artistic integrity and in turn, making the album would help him on his path to sobriety. I am guessing that working on an album of this magnitude would be one of the most rewarding challenges possible during his attempt at redemption. The challenge paid off. Side 1 consists not of songs, but song fragments and contains Bowie at his most personal. If Lodger is considered Bowie's most personal and revealing album, than Low is his album that implies. "Always Crashing in the Same Car" and "Weeping Wall" are great examples of his implications. The first song implies his problems with eroticism; "crashing" being a less controversial way of saying "orgasm", but the way Bowie sings the song, it sounds as if the sex isn't doing anything for him at all since cocaine is ruining his life. "Weeping Wall" from side 2 is pure schizophrenia. It sounds like a man experiencing a withdrawal from drugs-all at once anxious and fidgety. The best song on the album, however, is "A New Career in a New Town" (symbolic title of Bowie escaping to Berlin to rid himself of his cocaine dealers), which closes side 1. Amidst the turmoil and chaos of the other songs on the album, the musically upbeat song offers the possibility of hope and getting through it all. At nearly three minutes, the song is perfect in both structure and melody and the hypnotic nature of it captivates from beginning to end. There really is no other song in rock quite like it. The Brian Eno touches on Low are apparent throughout, but this is clearly a Bowie album all the way since side 1 is so personal. I am not going to get into side 2's instrumental soundscapes too much. I will just say that the tone of the last four songs on Low is very brooding and sounds like a man struggling with his personal demons, which reiterates this being a Bowie album, but having said that, it is far more riveting than depressing. Elton John was the 70's most popular solo artist, but Bowie was the best and Low is further testimony to that argument. Low is perhaps the best example of electronics incorporated into rock and roll ever recorded and based on that alone it shares its place alongside the other great albums of the 70's. Add the element of catharsis to that synthesis and you have a one-of-a-kind work of art that will amaze listeners for years to come.

+6435	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	What can I say about this album?  It is absolutely awesome, and surprising coming out on the heels of four albums in less than 2 years;  there was an exceptional risk of overkill, and that is probably why this album is so underrated.  However, Elton John fans seems to be oblivious to what they're missing on this 9-tracked masterpiece, where every song has an awesome aspect to it.  First off, it kicks off with "Tiny Dancer", which is a beautiful song with delicate lyrics and vocals.  The next song is the album's biggest hit, "Levon".  The song is great as far as singing and piano goes, but I think the true genius lies in Taupin's lyrics.  And, as far as the remastered sleeve note says, I think this song is about Levon Helms, member of The Band.  Anyway, it is great with storytelling, and Elton puts the words to music so well.  The next song is "Razor Face", which has a very catchy piano number and Elton's singing is awesome on it, and the lyrics are great.  The next song is the title track which is haunting and Elton does an awesome job on it.  The next track is "Indian Summer", a 6 minute some odd seconds piece of art dealing with the removal of Native Americans.  The lyrics and the vocals are very dramatic to the point where you can feel what they were feeling; this song is an awesome display and a song of outcry against the Indian removal... I must give props to the Elton/Bernie team on that one.  Let's see, then comes "Holiday Inn", which is a nice and soothing tune, but really not a highlight on the album.  Then comes "Rotten Peaches", probably my least favorite song on here, though it is pretty good... it has a memorable Elton "na-na-na"ing at the end.  Oh, yes, then comes one of my favorites on this album "All the Nasties".  The song's gospel flavor is much better than in "Border Song", and the "Turned a full blooded city boy into a full blooded city man" line that basically becomes the song's chorus is inspiring as well.  The piano is awesome, and the gospel flavor of it is ALWAYS appreciated... nice to always get some black choir singers in on his song, and it ALWAYS works ("Border Song", "All the Nasties", "Bite Your Lip", etc).  The album is then concluded by the haunting "Goodbye"... I wonder WHY they had to write that song... it's a great song, but it's too much of a tear-jerker.  You can tell Elton wants people to just start breaking down at that point.
+This album is at its best on "Anastasia".  It opens with a brief classical guitar intro before transitioning to a classic Slash riff.  The song also has not one but two solos that remind us why Slash is great.  The mid-tempo lead single "You're A Lie" is full of hooks, and Slash's underlying riff on the second verse adds nice texture.  The solo is on the mellow side, but it is Slash all the way.  I thought that "Apocalyptic Love", "Standing In The Sun", "Shots Fired", and "Crazy Life" also had great solos and guitar work.
+
+To tell you the truth, I don't really mind what medium Carlos plays in.  It's just nice to hear his guitar playing.  You can say what you will about the songs in Supernatural, but anyone would have to admit that Carlos plays great throughout.  I recommend it for any Santana fan.  As for the guy who wrote that he heard the song "Smooth" atleast 10 times and didn't know it was Santana, all i have to say is......How could you not know it's Santana??  He's instantly recognizable!!  And that Smooth solo had so many signature Santana licks!  I only have to hear 3 or 4 notes and I know it's him.

At some points during the performance, their harmonies are so clear that I had to review the DVD at these points just to make sure it was the same band and performance to which I had gotten so accustomed.  During the Tommy section (which, I'm very sorry to say, is horribly edited), the harmonies are given a place in the mix that had been denied them, even on the CD, which was released several years earlier than this completely and totally refurbished version.  I wish The Who's label would release the CD of The Isle of Wight show (in sequence with no omissions) to showcase these newly experienced vocal highlights.

The SEARING impression this album made on me has as much to do with the events of my young adulthood at the time as it does with the brilliant music I was hearing from the LP on my turntable.  I won't bore you with details but here's the basics: my friend Jon turned me onto this album; it had recently been released and I had just broken up with the first person I ever truly fell in love with....and you know how dramatic/traumatic these things are to a 19-year old!  The album perfectly mirrored my feelings in a particular time & place as no album had before or since.  I don't mean to suggest that this is a set of maudlin "break-up" songs best suited for jilted 19-year olds; on the contrary, it runs a broader gamut of musical stylings and displays a bolder sophistication than had been present in his recordings up to that time....but it still includes his trademark savage guitar attacks and pointed, acid-tongued lyrics.  The production is flawless, unique and quite striking.  The essence of this album's profound effect on me is the seemingly effortless way that raw, hypersensitive, uncommunicatable emotions are magically transformed into aural beauty of the absolute highest quality.  When the album first "got hold of me", I was listening to it literally 2 or 3 or 4 times a day....and this went on for months and months.  Obsessed?  You bet.

He decides to raise a little money to finance some of his more challenging, more interesting projects and, like a flipping a switch, he produces Overnight Sensation, and - Cha Ching - the cash rolls in! Cynical extremists fault this album's obviously calculated posture, but they refuse to acknowledge that even the most gifted artists are able to surpass their own intentions. There's nothing here that you could accuse of pandering to a less sophisticated audience. No one can honestly call any of these tunes pop. It's not just a respectable Zappa specimen, but it's also a marvelously compact, terrifically potent distillation of so many of his greatest concepts and impulses. It plays like a whirlwind tour of Zappa-land, featuring succinct samples of his irrepressible humor, his compositional ingenuity, his guitar wizardry, and his ambitious - quixotic - conceptual integrity. Dinah-Moe Humm is hardly radio friendly. And Montana is so subtly sarcastic that it could not help but confuse the masses. I'm the Slime is so viciously contemptuous of mass entertainment, who would pay for it? No song here is anything like common, crass or corny. Yet the album sold quite well, Frank got his roll, and thankfully some more absurd, brilliant, unique projects were subsidized. These are not minor, deficient, inconsequential commercial trinkets. They are succulent nuggets of Zappa's masterful madness. It's all part of his ongoing continuity.

If you had the pleasure of seeing him in concert, which I'm glad I did, then this array of songs should be part of your collection.  In the realm of rock and roll, the strong violin found in "Directly From My Heart To You," is unsurpassed.  I only wish that Zappa had played that the night I saw him---at Stanford's Maples Pavillion, 1977---An afternoon with a Sexually Aroused Gasmask, (the insane laughing sequence was once part of my answering machine's outgoing message) and the Dwarf songs are Zappa classics.

+6044	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	For their fourth album, 1970's "Home," Procol Harum saw their first major line-up change with the departures of organist Matthew Fisher (relax, though---Matt will return in 21 years!), and bassist David Knights. They're both replaced on "Home" by Chris Copping, a fine organ player & bassist himself. "Home" is one of Harum's greatest albums, with the band cranking up the volume for some of the tracks and just plain rocking out, but they still leave room for some beautiful softer numbers as well. Although some of Keith Reid's lyrics on "Home" are about death, the album is still quite happy-sounding in many places, so to say that this Harum album is depressing is utterly false. Just listen for yourself. The opening salvo, "Whiskey Train," is one of Harum's greatest rockers (and still a part of Harum's concert setlist today), with guitarist Robin Trower attacking his fretboard like a man possessed, and also featuring Gary Brooker's powerful voice and rock piano, and B.J. Wilson's thunderous drumming. Other great songs include the fun "Still They'll Be More," the lovely "Nothing That I Didn't Know," the awesome rocker "About To Die" (a truly underrated Harum gem), the haunting "Barnyard Story," and the drama that is the 7-minute Harum classic, "Whaling Stories." But ALL of the songs here are wonderful. Brooker sings marvelously, and the band play throughout with superb chemistry. "Home" is an outstanding Procol Harum album, and one of their best.

+My other gripe about the album is the dissapointing solos. Slash is the greatest most gifted guitar player on this earth so frigin well use him! Most of the solos seem to be rushed also. For the most part they are just quick fast pointless solos that have no emotion and don't lead anywhere and are pretty much all under 30 seconds. They stay in the same key, this is not helped as the rythem guitar plays the same riff underneath the solo never helping it move.

+5765	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	In November of 1996, the world was introduced to Kim Jones.  This woman may be little, but her words and opinions aren't.  Lil Kim realeased her solo album, but still had some help from her pals Lil Cease, Biggie, and Puffy.  A then relatively unknown Jay-Z made a guest appearence on "Big Momma Thang", just months after his own debut album.  Commercially successful tracks like "No Time" and "Crush On You" propelled the album's success...Although listeners may have felt mislead when they realized that the album version of "Crush On You" was different from the highly rotated radio version.  This album is an in-depth look at a young, hustling female player, and is not for the light at heart.  "Not Tonight" is a good lyrical effort with a relaxed beat, produced by another new comer, Jermaine Dupri.  His vocals in the background are reminiscent of Puffy, and are now a staple in every rap song.  "Dreams" is most likely not was most would describe as their dreams, but you can't say you've never thought of those men!  Hard Core is worth a try, give it a couple of listens....If you're not satisfied that's too bad because you'll never find another female MC like Kim.

+To me all of the songs on this album are classic's in the Frank Zappa music cannon but no other songs are as essential or as memorable as 'Pygmy Twylyte' or 'Echidna's Arf (Of You)' the later is one of the very best Zappa compositions ever created. The guitar interplay with George Dukes trumpet is amazing. 'Pygmy Twylyte' is just a great song that I can never grow tired of even after all the times I have listened to it. As for the res of the album, as I said all of the songs are great 'Cheepnis' is wonderful, 'More Trouble Every Day' is great not as good as the original but still a masterful song.

+Suddenly, his 1984 album, is represented by four songs.  One is the catchy US #1 "Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run)", part of which borrows the syncopated rhythm from Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean."  The sound effects includes eerie laughter similar to Vincent Price in "Thriller" and some suggestive sounds, not surprising in this song about a Caribbean seductress with painted-on jeans.  The highlight is V. Jeffrey Smith's brief sax solo.  The title track is a schmaltzy ballad on how suddenly one wakes up and finds oneself in love.  "Loverboy", co-written by producer Keith Diamond and Mutt Lange, has a wandering pulsing synth beat throughout and a kind of hard-driving chorus, while "Mystery Lady" is a mid-paced dance number.

+What is more unusual in Pressed Rat and Warthog are the British Isles folk tunes provided by the trumpet and other instruments.  I am certain that these melodies also appear in some of Ralph Vaughan Williams' shorter symphonic pieces which, in turn, were copied from folk musicians.  There are so many fine British and Irish folk melodies available.  It is too bad that these tunes have been popularized only by the Byrds, and by less than a handful of other rock'n'roll bands.
+5686	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Well obviously we're not in front of the best LP release that Sir James Paul McCartney and his 70's band Wings ever made... That title could be a strong dispute between "Band On The Run", "Venus And Mars" and "Back To The Egg". We know that. But the relative bad quality of this album when compared to other Paul's solo efforts only helps one to understand the unbelievable quote of talent that Paul was given. Because, even when this album was only thought and recorded to promote the successful "Wings Over America" tour in 1976, and even when it only features the star of the band singing half of the songs on the album, it has some great musical moments inside it, as it's capable to give one the warmth of a band (maybe with too many vocalists) giving the best of themselves to entertain a quite hard audience like the world's fans.

I noticed that some of the songs are extended versions of the original releases. Not having listened to this cd for many years in previous forms one other thing struck me. That being the only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star classic is the material on the 2nd side (at least what would be the 2nd side of the original LP) is noticeably weaker than side 1. Never hear anyone mention this, but if you think about it, its hard to argue that point. You could say its partly because of how incredible side 1 is and I would not dispute that point. Just makes me realize why back in the LP days I always found myself listening to side 1 more than side 2. None of this detracts from the overall excellence of this CD and even if it only contained side 1 it would still be a near classic. I'd say a solid 3 songs on this CD belong in the top 10 all time Elton John songs. That in itself is plenty good enough even if the lesser material seems a bit like filler in comparison.

+The one complaint I feel worth registering is to the length of the album - only 38 minutes.

A major part of it, in my eyes, is that his attention span was short, he did so many things so well that he could not concentrate solely on his singing and his music for any length of time.  Another is that his studio records were awful and his live recordings often contain so much shtick (see his Coconut Grove CD) that they become sickening.
+At risk of playing favorites, Paul Winter and Paul Halley do some of their best work in "Return to Gaia." Both are at the top of their form here; Halley's extended organ improvisation reminds us of what Virgil Fox was capable of doing so brilliantly on his better days. "Sanctus and Benedictus" is guaranteed to bring your musical muscles and bones alive, but be advised that it's probably not a good idea to listen to it while driving an automobile!

There are so many puns and multiple layers to each one of Hicks' albums one could write a dissertation on them. However, as with Roger Waters' works, every album comes down to essential truths, i.e. question reality, know we have the power to effect change, look into yourself and find the interconnectedness that we all share.  That is certainly why his audience looked at him "like a dog being shown a card trick" (a reference to "Animals"? who knows).  Too many critics have focused on Hicks' "crass" or "obscene" use of words.  No one is noting that Hicks does this to make a point, to take away the power of these words.  He is not just interjecting it in every routine for effect.  There is a method to his comedic madness.

A non-fan doesn't need any of it, but for someone who has followed a career, it's invaluable...luckily, RHINO is not charging for the second CD..buy them, realize them, enjoy them...this is songwriting at it's best!
+  In short, this was an unforgettable experience. I have loved Celtic music and dance for years now and this performance only made my fires burn all the hotter with enthusiasm. The music, the dancing, the lighting, the story of a noble warrior saving his land from a dark knight's conquest...they combined to take my breath away and give me one of the greatest entertainment experiences of my life. If you get to see this I hope you get to enjoy it and even love it as much as I did. I still love this show today, more than two years after I got to see it, and I know I always will. Peace.
+Many of Bowies hits are included including All the Young Dudes, Changes, Space Oddity, Time, Suffragette City, Rock n Roll Suicide and many others.  By my count, 19 tracks performed by Bowie and the band.  The Dolby Digital stereo track works just fine.  Recommended in spite of the visual shortfalls.
+6807	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Ram is a great record. It lacks the intensity of Band On The Run in its rockers but makes up for it with inventive, sticky melodies. This is vaudeville, blues and country music spliced together. He had already experimented with this style starting with Magical Mystery Tour, but here the style dominates. All of the songs are well above average. I bought the 1993 remaster and got 2 extra songs; the excellent ANOTHER DAY and OH WOMAN OH WHY. The latter is not so good. He overuses his trademark fortissimo to give an "angry blues man" effect to the song and ends up over-killing it. Otherwise every song is a gem. Even the ridiculous MONKBERRY MOON DELIGHT (In which he again overuses his fortissimo voice) is so good that it doesn't matter that the lyrics are difficult to understand both because of their obscurity and his phrasing/delivery. It's a fun, slightly melancholy listen that gets better and better with repeated listens. DEAR BOY could've fit nicely into Magical Mystery Tour. UNCLE ALBERT/ADMIRAL HALSEY is one of the best songs that he ever wrote. TOO MANY PEOPLE, LONG HAIRED LADY and BACK SEAT OF MY CAR have an age of Aquarius feel to them that still sounds fresh with McCa's touch in place. Great record to start a Wings collection. Paul was the most prolific and satisfying of the Beatles and this album is proof of that.

In a segment where Silvers, Goulet and Garland do a spoof on each other's  songs in a well planned medley there are several "laugh out loud"  moments but here is the very best.....all at once to see Silvers and Goulet  in "drag" as Judy lip singing to her real singing imitating all  her moves etc  was not only a spoof of all the drag queens doing Judy even  then but quite a statement as well!

In the 1950s, like many other English teens, she became enamored of American music--and in 1958 became a member of a girl group known as "The Lana Sisters."  In 1960 she left the group to form "The Springfields" with brother Dion and Tim Field, who was later replaced by Mike Hurst.  The trio met with significant chart success in both England and America, but by 1963 "The Springfields" had run their course.  By this time Mary was known as Dusty Springfield, and she embarked on a solo career that would launch her to international fame as both a singer and a personality.

+Bought tickets for show in Louisville KY Spring 2011.  Was supposed to be James Taylor.  Then it was advertised with special guest Ben Taylor.  Then the Louisville Palace sends out email week of the show saying Ben Taylor will actually be appearing throughout the show.  James starts show.  Does one song.  Then Ben Taylor comes out.  He stays out the entire duration of the show.  2/3 of the show was him singing his songs.  The other 1/3 was duets on James tunes.  We got 7-8 James Taylor songs and only a couple JT only.  Fans in upper deck where howling and extremely agitated by the time it was over.  Huge mis-advertisement of event.  Didn't pay nearly $100 a ticket to see Ben Taylor.  He's actually not all that great anyway and most fans weren't familiar with any of his songs.  Total disappointment and can never go to another show.  No way to know for sure what you're paying for.  And I'm a huge JT fan.  This is painful.
+  I'm giving the first cd five stars. The second cd is a different animal, and if you enjoy it, you will probably like their first album, which this cd expands on...to gargantuan proportions.  E.g. "Spoonful" and "Toad" are roughly tripled in length to over a quarter of an hour each. These four songs take up 44:22 minutes! If you like blues music by white guys, I think you will like this second cd. Personally, I drifted off for "Spoonful" on the two occasions that I listened to this song! It has an epic Moody Blues vibe to it. "Toad" didn't send me off to sleep, despite its similar length. If you are of the school of thought that says that the only thing better than a three minute drum solo is a 13 minute drum solo, then I think you are going to love "Toad"! Cream jams either side of Ginger Baker's gargantuan drum solo. In my notes for this song I state that I hear what sounds like Michael Jackson's "Beat it" guitar riff playing on the bass in this song (at around the 0:55 mark). Also familiar sounding to me: at around 0:52 minutes into this song, the guitar plays something akin to The Stooges "I wanna be your dog" riff or whatnot. Anyway, the sound quality of the live 2nd cd is excellent.

+3870	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	...The first time I ever heard the music of Tori Amos was when I saw the "Silent All These Years" video on VH1 in 1991.  It made me feel like not many videos ever have before... like being in a warm, white place,  like a cocoon, suspended in caterpillar-silk and feeling almost like I was  in a sacred place of some sort.  Looking back, now, I am sure that this was  the case.  Tori's music (and videos!) do a very strange thing to human  emotion.  "Magnification" isn't really the right word...  It's  more like she makes the emotion grow to encompass you, so you're actually  "here. in her head" and one with the emotions she is trying to  convey.  If you're ready to find that sacred place in YOUR head, give this  video collection a try.
+I remember the concert being filmed but did not think about it again until 20 years later when I saw the DVD and knew that I had been there.  I can now show my wife and kids now who I was then.  Anyway, no it is not ABB's best lineup (the Arista years), but it is a Florida band playing to a mostly rural Florida college and redneck crowd.  We loved it and I think the band loved us back for it, and it shows in the great playing.  The sound is very good given the era and location.  It was a cold crisp afternoon and a great time was had by all.  This DVD will not disappoint.

But the dull song structure, the indifferent singing and the "30 layers midrandge" sound mix do not a brilliant CD make. As washed-up '80s bands go, the Cult's last CD creates a far better illusion of a real band at work. I credit the failure of this Velvet Revolver release to a lack of texture in Slash's rhythm sounds, Weiland's semi-comatose state impairing his very slight talent, and a general lapse of creativity - really, how much can you do to save such a swaggering dogpile just with clever mixing and a brilliant drummer?

Bowie plays almost all of the guitars himself wich works great because his sound and style is deliciously dirty. Diamond dogs has a great atmosphere and a fluent song sequence. Bowie's singing is downright amazing, especially on Sweet thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (reprise). And the way those songs melt into Rebel Rebel just leaves me gasping for air. Diamond Dogs successfully incorporates a lot of the styles Bowie has explored over the years, and does so while never sounding fragmented. It's a winner!

+1813	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This is a wonderful documentary capturing Bowie at his absolute prime musically and creatively.  The sound is excellent throughout all the performances.  My only complaint is that the limitations of the 16MM film and the lenses they used severely hampered the quality of the images that were captured on stage.  Quite often the lenses had issues processing the extreme colors and intensity of the lighting, so what you end up seeing is totally blown out and diffused or even out of focus.  Too bad.  It would be nice to see them take a better pass at restoration and release this on Bluray.  Overall I would recommend for any serious Bowie fan as the music is just too good to pass up.  The surround mix is fantastic, clear with a good amount of punch.  Worth it just to hear the soundtrack (which I already owned on CD) in 5.1.
+Hard driving, desperate rock and roll from EC and the Attractions.  Steve Nieve's organ punctuates madly and cascades it's way over Bruce Thomas's bass lines, creating a melody like a disastrous waterfall that pours over Pete Thomas's rock solid drumming.
+If you want a comparison of what Bjork's videos actually could look like, check out Chris Cunningham's version of 'All is Full of Love' on the Director's Series DVD's. The picture is sharp and full of colors, a drastic contrast to the washed-out gray, blurry, and compressed visuals of this DVD. The sound is even better (louder too), with everything more clear, and lacking the washiness of these mp3-like transfers. The compressed videos on this disc offer a little white flickering line at the bottom of the screen that makes it appear the video was processed quickly through a video editor. If you really want to see Bjork's videos in all their glory, go pick up the Director's Series.

+So 15 years after their relative decline, Gerry and Dewey polished their crystal ball, set their teeth, and composed some of their best music ever.  They enlisted the help of Beach Boys Carl Wilson, the legendary Chip Davis and Russ Ballard, just to name three, and created an esoteric and ethereal acoustic landscape highlighted with note-pure electric guitar leads and accents.  "Young Moon", "Hope", "Sleeper Train", and "Call of the Wild" are exceptionally noteworthy.  Young Moon has a distinctive sound that is at once reminiscent of some of the best sounds captured by the Moody Blues, and the harmonies and acoustic guitars of America at the top of their game.  Hope and Call of the Wild are artistic masterpieces of balladeering, and "Sleeper Train" is one of the most lyrically creative and mesmerizing songs I've ever heard.  The other six original songs are just plain beautiful or are distinctive rockers.  They close the album with two remakes of earlier hits.  "Everyone I Meet Is From California" was the original B-Side of Horse With No Name, became a popular song in and of itself as it surfaced on ENCORE: MORE GREATEST HITS.  It was an acoustic rocker in '71 and the remake has a more distinctive and pure acoustic recording with fine electric leads overlaid for a fuller and more rewarding composition.  In a way, it has become two fine songs now, one raw diamond in the rough and the other polished stone.  Then, Gerry and Dewey re-recorded their 80's hit "You Can Do Magic".  It is note-for-note virtually identical with perhaps a couple very subtle and nearly hidden differences in instrumentation but the overall feel of the song is that it does sound somehow different.  Perhaps not better, but not inferior by any account either.  I do have to reiterate however, that the song "Young Moon" must rate up there with the finest of America's output ever, it is a rapturous piece of music with a sound that hooks you immediately.  Another other noteworthy item I have not mentioned is that (most America fans are familiar with this) the child actor Billy Mummy (Twilight Zone, Lost In Space, etc) grew up to be a songwriter and guitar player.  He co-wrote Sleeper Train and Greenhouse on this album and contributed additional guitar work.  He has also appeared on earlier America albums.

+The rest of the songs on Spaceship Earth feature easy to like vocal melodies, country or boogie rock (like "rollin' hills" and "rusty cloud") and even some scattered moments of hard rock.  But there's not nearly as much soloing (guitar or keyboard) like on the first album.  There are some silly experiments like "woman" and "music box" which seem to indicate that Sugarloaf was listening to early Kinks and Hollies and wanted to create something that was similar to those bands.  But all this stuff is good rock music if you ask me.  If it wasn't for that darn overlong blues song on the first album I'd give it 5 stars.

Then on some late night radio folk show here in Boston I heard Dave Van Ronk singing `Come All You Fair and Tender Ladies' and that was it.

+5864	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	What with gold prices the way they are nowadays it somehow makes those of us with the old mofi 24-carat cds regret not getting more of them when we had the chance to and for me I'll just have to settle with the ones that I do have such as Daryl Hall & John Oates' "Voices", Supertramp's "Breakfast In America", Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and now this: the best sounding version of Cream's "Wheels of Fire".  Having heard the more recent SHM release I have to say that this DCC gold set still trumps it for overall sound quality.  Sure the compression on the former makes the overall volume louder and as a result certain details are more evident but the reduced dynamic range is a costly tradeoff and for me the latter release allows the recording to breathe more and hence comes across much warmer.  This is not to say that the former is poor sound quality but the compression means too many bass notes sound muddy or so close to overdrive that it affects my overall enjoyment of the whole listening experience.  Give this fan the DCC Gold which for now for the reasons mentioned above remains my favourite sound quality-wise.

+The studio album, however, pales in comparison to the live disc. Of course, there are the requisite classics "White Room," "Politician," "Sitting On Top," and (of course) "Born Under a Bad Sign," the latter of which ended up being the most overlooked Cream track because it was never performed live and never had a chance to be made into a monolith like "Spoonful." The tracks "As You Said," "Those Were the Days," and "Deserted Cities" are acceptably decent while the Baker originals "Passing the Time" and "Pressed Rat and Warthog" simply haven't held up at all over the years. "Pressed Rat" especially is a stinker with Ginger reciting stoned-out poetry over a tepid pop-ish melody. Why they played this number at the RAH shows is beyond me.
+Which leads into the one minor complaint, he didn't seem to have found his own distinctive sound at this stage. His vocal echoes Aaron Hall while the production at times Teddy Riley.

Even though he would go on to find his own voice and style on his next album (1995's self-titled effort), don't sleep on "12 Play", it's full of gems...

+Many people talk about their memories of Eric and what Eric meant to them including his parents, his longtime girlfriend Carrie Stevens, Bill Aucoin, Bob Kulick, musician and songwriter Adam Mitchell, Carmine Appice (who wanted to do a tribute on Eric with his video company Power Rock but KISS wouldn't allow him to use the "Eric Carr" name), and members of Slaughter and Cinderella Blas Elias, Mark Slaughter, Dana Strum, and Fred Coury.  It includes photos and even audio of his Beatles-esque band The Cellarmen (with Eric on vocals!).  I did not know that he barely escaped a club fire in 1974 that killed several members of his band Salt & Pepper. You also get to hear audio and see photos of Mother Nature Father Time and Creation.  The extras on the DVD include several full-length songs from his early days, a couple sound like The Cellarman material, the other two are R&B numbers the latter, "The Stranger," is a highlight (I wish the audio links included some background info).
+2331	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I would have given it five stars but for a relatively old fossil like myself, I think this was a concert to heavily promote Pink Floyd's last two studio albums, "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" and "The Division Bell", which were the two Pink Floyd albums that Roger Waters had no part in. Other than this concerts opening track "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" the whole first hour seemed to just be committed to their last two albums.  Which is fine, I guess, because I really like the tracks "Sorrow" and especially "High Hopes", but they skipped alot of the important songs from "A Momentary Lapse of Reason". Like "One Slip" and "Dogs of War".
+4800	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	It's everything you hoped a new Dan album would be- wicked lyrics, clever instrumentation, and a sound crisp enough to slice paper. Thankfully, the sound is not the "lite" sound of the recent live album. Instead,  the sound is consistent with Dan's last studio offerings, Aja and Gaucho,  but noticably similar to Fagen's solo disc, Kamakiriad, with stronger horns  and guitarwork. Fagen and Becker play on every track save one, and have  found able new sidemen to complete the band. Standout songs are the title  track, Cousin DuPree and Jack of Speed. Buying this disc is money well  spent; they haven't missed a single beat in the last 20 years.
+A few final comments:
+  I should explain that the reason why the U.S.A. price on the Blu-Ray & DVD editions is quite high is because Universal Music in the U.S.A. is merely importing the British discs instead of pressing their own. It's much, much cheaper to import them yourself from Amazon's British website. The British DVD set has been pressed with NTSC video/All regions, and the British Blu-Ray disc has been pressed for worldwide(all regions) playback compatability. Universal in the UK also offers a set which pairs the DVD with the 2-CD audio set. Universal can't officially distribute that edition in the U.S.A., where Warner Brothers' license on the group's CD releases is still in effect.

The VHS running time is 59 minutes, so you know nothing has been cut at all.  The inclusion of the TV ads, in my opinion, is a good one. Being able to see the old TV commercials of the era brings back even more memories of the 1960s. The DVD version does not have these commercials included. But, of course, the DVD's picture quality is better than the VHS.

+Note:  if you are a Chopin "purist", you're probably not going to like these paraphrases.  Godowsky is strongly influenced by the post-Romantic musical idiom in the time he wrote, and you'll hear very strong elements of the pianistic and harmonic language used by Scriabin and (particularly) Rachmaninov infused throughout each paraphrase.

Like what has been said before, there's very little by way of performance footage (although there are bits). What we're mainly given here is a fond and loving look back at a classic era by the creators who shaped it. Along the way we get the Classic Albums trademark of isolating instruments from the multi-track to showcase a vocal, a guitar part, harmonies, etc.. Some of the reactions are priceless (the expression on Bob Weir's face when his vocal for "Sugar Magnolia" becomes isolated is priceless, also his recounting of an incident with Dave Hassinger and looking for the sound of "thick air" for "Born Crosseyed"). Phil Lesh remembering how young Jerry Garcia sounded during "Ripple". Robert Hunter's recollections of being in Europe while writing material for American Beauty are particularly moving. Then you have the Warner Brothers record exec who recounted a memo sent about how unruly the band was in the studio, particularly Phil. This is also a great look into the band itself at that time.

+3235	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	In this thrilling live concert, John Fogerty sings a new love song to his wife Julie called "Joy of My Life."  For rock & roll fans the world over, that pretty well describes Fogerty's music and this awesome  video as well.  I have the VHS copy, and the sound and image are superb.  If you've ever sung along to a CCR song, from "Proud Mary" to  "Bad Moon Rising," you must own this video.  It really is  exceptional.

+There are seven songs on this album, if you count the bonus track. It starts out with "Sweat", which is a good intro and is about paranormal experiences. Up next comes "Hush," which is probably the second angriest song Tool has ever done (after "Ticks and Leeches".) It is anti-censorship. It is also their quickest song, and is my personal favorite. "Part of Me" is a driving song that hammers its way into your unsuspecting head and stays there all day. The next two tracks are live: "Cold and Ugly" is Tool protesting, saying that it is possible to be for religion and yet against some aspects of it. "Jerk-Off", another angry track, is about someone or some idea that Tool doesn't really like, which I pity based on the lyrics to the original version of this song. Maynard now admits that he doesn't know what he was thinking at the time, and sings different lyrics when Tool perform this song live. It all wraps up with the title track "Opiate", which is the best here. Then comes the hidden track "The Gaping Lotus Experience," which is basically Maynard screaming "Satan! Satan!" while singing lackadaisically about a variety of different topics...ahem. I think the lyrics at the end of the song explain it all: He was very bored when he wrote this.

Its a comeback on the order of the Grateful Dead's "In The Dark" or Jethro Tull's "Crest Of A Knave", or heck, even Aerosmith's "Permanent Vacation". I mention these three because they were monstrously succesful and very good when the bands weren't expected to do anything at all except flog a dead horse. About every other song on this record is worthy to stand next to any of their greatest material. All the songs average about 5 to 6 minutes, so when they misfire, it's torturous, but what a beautiful world it is that we have the remote and the CD player, just like Fagen said about twenty years ago in "IGY". I love that these guys could wake up from a long sleep like theirs and whoop the pants off of any other rock band without even trying..

+971	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I can't give it 5 stars, because it's too predictable.  I gotta say, i was never a big GnR fan, even though I was graduating High School right about when they first hit it big. I was, however, a huge STP fan since Day One, and still listen to their CD's from time to time.  Having said that, this CD rocks hard when it needs too, and mellows out well, except for one poor track that I constantly find myself skipping.  As a listener, you can hear the STP and the GnR, and it's great in some places, and it sounds forced in others.  Here's a song by song break down:
+I still had a few cassettes from my teenage days back in the 80s, although whenever I saw them in storage boxes since then I would feel a slight twinge of embarrassment that I had ever enjoyed it (kind of like admitting that you'd once liked Barry Manilow or [enter your most embarrassing guilty musical pleasure]).  But a couple of months ago I put them on and after a couple of playings I remembered just how much I had liked this music.  Each of their first four albums is said to be analogous with the different seasons.  "Fresh Aire" (the first one) is supposed to correspond with spring, but the 12 tracks actually match the 12 months of the year.  "Fresh Aire II" represents fall, "Fresh Aire III" summer, and "Fresh Aire IV" winter.
+Any JT/CK fan MUST have this in their library.
+
+I consider both Burnt Weenie Sandwich and Weasels Ripped My Flesh important Mothers' releases and may reflect the very best performances by members of the first unit.  If you are interested in Zappa's music then you MUST own them both.  You WILL buy them now.  Click!
+The booming drums and powerhouse rock of the title track is still as striking as ever. It's a signature Bruce song that's hard to ignore. Uptempo rockers like "Darlington Country", "Working on the Highway" and the ever-popular "Glory Days" keep the energy level up, striking a balance between lyrics about tough times coupled with fun music. "No Surrender" and "Bobby Jean" is a back-to-back ride of rock n' roll that can't be denied. Bruce even flirts with dance and pop on "Dancing in the Dark"; no matter how many times I hear it I still find myself excited. It sums so much of this record up perfectly and it was a well-deserved hit. There's also a sexual tension to tunes like "Cover Me" and "I'm on Fire" that offer up some variety and tension to the material around them. "I'm Goin' Down" isn't far behind either.

+"Try And Love Again" is one of my favorite Eagles songs, and easily the most underrated song on this album (I even love the syntactic faux pas of the title). Great vocals and guitars. It has been called the Eagles' last country-rock song, but to me it sounds more like a hybrid of early-70's Southern California Rock and mid-60's Merseybeat/Searchers-style Pop (with the bright, ringing guitars and chord structure built around the loping D major). It also provides Frey with one of the best guitar solos in the Eagles canon, which is quite a feat considering the great players, past and present, in this band. I'm not sure why this track was never released as a single - maybe because Meisner was on the way out? Too country-rock, which the Eagles were trying to move away from, partly to win over rock critics (some success) but mostly to broaden their fan base (much success)? It's too bad that Meisner didn't use this type of musical setting as a starting point for what looked to be a promising solo career, rather than releasing a series of (mostly) lame, generic rock albums. Not that he would have sold any more records, but it would have made a few of us happy. Regardless, I have missed his great vocals (lead and harmony) on subsequent Eagles recordings, and I haven't even mentioned his talents as a bass player. Oh well, Meisner fans among the Eagles' throngs appear to be few and far between. But if you need proof, compare his vocal performance on "Take It To The Limit" with Frey's more recent renderings. The difference between good and goose-pimply.

Interestingly enough, a few weeks ago I saw James Taylor in concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl and he sang the same songs as in this DVD on a larger scale (10 piece band and 4 backup singers) and used the same introductions to the songs!

+As good as the individual Eagles are as lead vocalists, they seem to be even better as background singers. In fact, when I think of the "classic" Eagles vocal sound, I think of their background harmonies, whether it's Meisner's soaring high-harmony or Henley and Frey's vocal blend, which seems to take on a separate voice all its own (for a great example of this on a non-Eagles track, listen to Dan Fogelberg's "Someone's Been Telling You Stories").

Because the Country Gentlemen recorded for a variety of labels during their first twenty-five years (Starday, Vanguard, Folkways among them), this collection is not as thorough as it could be.

"Crossroads" has become synonymous with Clapton and his playing on this track, particularly his second solo, is among his most intense. Bruce's "Traintime" features some of the most fiery harmonica playing ever recorded. Then there's Baker's tour-de-force "Toad", which despite its 16-minute length, is creative throughout and shows why he is one of the best drummers ever. But the best track here is their version of "Spoonful" which truly shows the band at the peak of its powers and features some of the best jamming you'll ever hear. 35 years later this track still sounds amazing. While Disraeli Gears is a more consistent album overall, Wheels Of Fire is a better representation of what Cream were all about. Highly recommended.

At the time of review, about a dozen copies of this potential beverage coaster could be purchased for less a buck through Amazon's marketplace sellers. Why? The answer to that is no mystery.

+5250	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Formally Tung Twista on debut album now simply goes by Twista for his sophomore release Adrenaline Rush with the signature rapid flow.  "Intro" is almost conjure of the feelings and intensity put into this album.  The title track featuring Young Buck of Psycho Drama is a good opposition of flows between the two as they share verses as stated in the beginning "...what happens when you combine the darkness with the light..?"  This album was entirely produced by The Legendary Traxter and enhanced Twista's flow over songs such as "Death Before Dishonor" with lyrics such as "...with a paint brush / that a nigga can't trust..."  The highlight of this album is hearing his flow over the slow, R&B tracks such as "It Feels So Good" and both versions of "Emotions".  "Overdose" is actually the overall highlight of this LP as Twista had to be cut off with his overdub vocals with the same rapid fire flow.  "Mobster's Anthem" featuring Speedknot Mobstaz is good crew song with the sample of Dr. Dre's "It's A G Thang".  The thriller track on "Unsolved Mystery" is a song of fury where Twista took it to the street with murder and the opposite as he speaks on survival on "Korrupt World" featuring Side Effects of Psycho Drama.  "Get It Wet" featuring Miss Kane is another mainstream song as he talks of getting close to the ladies.  Hearing a variety of flows instead of the constant flow "No Remorse" featuring Speedknot Mobstaz, Link & Turtle ended this album with a high note.  Twista's flow, lyrics and overall performance here is underestimated and is stronger than the later commercial / mainstream albums that recently had been released.  Adrenaline Rush contains all the ingredients to make an album successful commercial hits, underground appeal, street songs, production and flow.  All that is necessary for a good classic hip-hop / rap album is found here.

+After the dull opening, Lord and orchestra are joined by most of his Deep Purple bandmates, bassist Roger Glover, drummer Ian Paice, and guitarist Steve Morse, along with Ronnie James Dio. With this configuration (plus a few backup singers and violinist Graham Preskett) the group performs two Glover penned songs, Sitting In A Dream and Love Is All. These songs are drawn from Butterfly Ball And The Grasshopper's Feast, a conceptual work that Glover released in the mid 70's. It's interesting that the band would choose to spotlight such obscure songs, but I think in the end, these two songs are played rather well.
+"Wings At The Speed Of Sound" is a mainly a collection of what we call "fillers". Even the hit songs "Let 'Em In" and "Silly Love Songs" suffer from their lyrics... The first one, however, makes a great opener for the album, be it the backing vocals, the piano/bass structure, or even the magic that a song made by an ex-Beatle can give us... "Silly Love Songs" is a response to all people who think Paul wrote only that. He recognized and accepted that fact, and he said "what's wrong with that?" He was (and still is, thanks God) making people happy. He sings about the troubles and the vivences of everyone's lives. And in most people's lives, love is the most important thing. Or it should be, however. He may not be the poet that John Lennon was. Most times he couldn't even reach the level of deepness that the lyrics of his other bandmate George Harrison had... but he is an indisputable genious. "Silly Love Songs" features a strong bass line and one of the most memorable mix of lead vocals that anyone could remember. Here you see Paul's production and arranging work.

+One of the most underrated songs from the album (and perhaps the most underrated song in the mans catalog period) is "The Note You Never Wrote".

It features one of their prominent singers, Tony Martin, as the band's third official singer and the second to their last albums to feature Martin before the return of Ozzy Osbourne (the band's first and most notable singer). Cross Purposes contains a series of songs range from hard rock to heavy metal. It contains a more progressive album than their previous albums. Cross Purposes indicates the continuous experimentation and innovation Black Sabbath has produced in over two decades.
+THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE is director John Frankenheimer's definitive film. The mesmerizing story of a political and psychological subterfuge is devastating. This film is distinctly a John Frankenheimer film and I believe his best. One thing that strikes time and again when I think of this film is Laurence Harvey's performance as Raymond Shaw. Could a figure be more tragic, so torn apart and put back together? Could a character be so devastated and tossed away like a lump of flesh to be used for some inhumane political ambition? I think not. And what of Frank Sinatra's performance as Major Marco? He too is a pawn in the threatening dark forces whose political point of view is one that would subjugate all for the greater good of mankind. Major Marco's heartbreak is that he has uncovered part of their scheme and he knows that Raymond Shaw too is a pawn, but to what purpose? This is one of Frank Sinatra's finest performances (he has always been underrated as an actor in my opinion) as is Laurence Harvey's (also underrated and somewhat forgotten). These two strong performances make this film or the more real, all the more horrifying. Behind it all is David Amram's score that is so prophetically apt. There is such a tragedy at work here. What happens in the name of freedom, not only for American values, but the values of the free world is solemnly told here by John Frankenheimer.
+When a rattle of rats had awoken
+
+The song "Anastasia" starts out with a gentle flamenco style acoustic guitar (think end of double talkin' jive) before kicking into a "Sweet Child O' Mine" riff and changes again and features a great solo from slash as well as Kennedy going from low to high with his vocal. "Bad Rain" has a pure rock swagger about it with its pounding drums and a grooving riff. The first single "You're A Lie" is a good indication of the album with its killer chorus and sleek guitar playing, it shows how much the Slash and Myles Kennedy partnership has grown.
+Now let me explain.  This album basically is a satirical piece that is interspersed with some great musicianship as is the case with a lot of Frank's stuff.  But the story being told and presented by the redoubtable Flo and Eddie is one for the ages.  If you grew up in this era, you know the bands they talk about and you can actually picture these two kooks on stage presenting it.  If you are younger, it may not hit you as much but still, the humor level and delivery is just great, almost masterful.  The timing is uncanny and when they do step back and let Frank and the boys boogie, well, boogie they do.

Next is the promotional film for the Violator album (which includes interviews with Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, outtakes from the "Personal Jesus" and "Enjoy the Silence" video shoots, as well as the videos for "Personal Jesus" and "Enjoy The Silence"). Overall, this promotional film was enjoyable to watch. Next on the disc is the promotional film for the Songs of Faith and Devotion album. This includes interviews with all four band members (Dave, Martin, Andrew, and Alan), footage from the "Just Can't Get Enough" video, footage of the band hanging out in Madrid while recording the album, and ends with the video for "I Feel You." Overall, this promo film is the worst of the three; many of the things that happen in it are very obviously staged (such as the woman coming up to Martin's room). Also, it felt like too much emphasis was being put on Martin in the film. This is followed by the videos for "One Caress" and "Condemnation [Paris Mix]." The disc closes with the promotional film for the Ultra album; it includes interviews with Dave, Martin, and Andy, some sound samples from the album (with accompanying lyrics on the screen), and the video for "Barrel of a Gun." This film, while it is better than the one for Songs of Faith and Devotion, is still rather strange in how it was done.

While I also enjoy the other songs, "Hotel California" is so good that it causes everything else on this album to be eclipsed, even though much of the rest of the music is very good. The Eagles created a series of very good songs, but when they recorded and released "Hotel California," I think every listener realized that it was destined to be a great song from the beginning. Surrealistic, clearly southern California desert influenced, a song that becomes great because it is musical art accessible to nearly everyone.

I am so confused by that, and then I remembered if anyone christian band wants to be a secular artist it is Skillet, and I just figured they're trying to be more mainstream.

It's just a good album; there is enough variety in tempos and themes to hold the attention, and each song is self contained enough to hold its own as a piece of art.  This album is honestly one of the best representatives of hip hop of the 90s (the best decade of rap), and one of the most finely balanced albums I've ever heard of this genre.  I can't say much else about this, it's like everything they tried to do suceeded beyond expectations; it is more mature and focused than the 2 albums that came before it and it is more fully realized in concept than anything that came after it.

I respect this production choice because for so many people the sax is the only part of the song they identify and according to some reviews the sax bought most of that copious radio air-time in 1978. On the other hand, it's a shame to see this overstated sound overshadow the rest of the beautiful song in peoples' minds.

"Shine - I will not cry and I will be mine/I'll shine - shine," she tells us, right before talking about how "madness moved into my shadow."

Scott Weiland, the charismatic lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots, teams up with exiled members of Guns N' Roses to form a supergroup whose debut album surpasses all reasonable expectations.  "Contraband" is a stick of rock and roll dynamite that explodes with untamed aggression.  From the moment you hear the opening groove "Sucker Train Blues," you know you're in for a joyride like no other.  The music seesaws from the best of G N' R and STP, and you can feel the presence of both groups on each and every track.  "Big Machine," "Illegal i Song," "Spectacle," and "You Got No Right" are all standouts.  Slash's guitar is still a commanding force, and Weiland's voice, which ranges from a shrill whine to a baritone growl, is still in great form.  The power ballad is a dreaded rock and roll cliche, but even the slow jam "Fall to Pieces" ain't half bad.  While the latest incarnation of Guns N' Roses has spent Lord-knows-how-long recording their may-or-may-not-be-released "Chinese Democracy" LP, Velvet Revolver has put out one of this year's most pleasant surprises.

+2179	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	My review is based upon the original US cd which came out on IRS in 1994. I was amazed. I was so disheartened by Sabbath's '92 reunion with Dio and the uninspired resulting album that when I heard that Tony Martin was back as frontman I rushed out to get "Cross Purposes". It really is excellent. The material is Sabbath at their most driving; 'I Witness', 'Dying For Love', 'Virtual Death' and 'Hand That Rocks The Cradle' easily rank among the greatest tracks of the band's long career. Martin is top-notch as always, Iommi is sharp and concise and Butler is pretty good if not always as impressive as you'd likely expect. Nicholls is at his sideman-best, not as involved as on "TYR" but still engaged. Cozy Powell does not appear on this album, but Bobby Rondinelli (Blue Oyster Cult, Rainbow) is superb. In fact, he ranks behind Cozy and Bill Ward only as Sabbath's greatest three drummers. (Sorry Eric, Bev, Terry and Vinnie... you guys were awesome as well!) "Cross Purposes" isn't at all like the other four Tony Martin-era Black Sabbath albums. It falls in between the prog-metal of "TYR", the straight metal of "Eternal Idol", the occult-metal of "Headless Cross" and the back-to-basics of "Forbidden" to remain one of Sabbath's most vital and inventive outings. I love all Sabbath, but the Tony Martin era of 1987- 1996 was the most satisfying, and "Cross Purposes" is a crucial part of it.

This album put them over the top from being just another hard rock band as seen on Undertow and the EP Opiate, And guess what? Lead singer MJK had NOTHING to do with the success of this album! The main power trio had three years to develop their chops from being just any other hard rock band to a truly progressive metal outfit. I also understand that this power trio jams and then presents new songs to MJK to add his vocals as a blessing. I truly believe that this band would be better off without MJK and his very twisted ego.

+Yanni is a musician who deeply cares about life, people and emphasizing the good in all of us rather than the negative we are constantly bombarded with daily in the Media.  His theme "No Borders, No Boundaries" is not a political statement like that of John Lennon's "Imagine."  It is a message is about commonality as human beings, about love and hope and appreciating the differences we share rather than killing each other over them.

+Zappa has been on the receiving end of a lot of abuse, but as the liner notes point out, he's hardly defending the characters singing the songs.  It helps to realize that Zappa's songs were basically short stories narrated by characters.  Zappa himself was a weary liberal, who found most liberals to as big hypocrites as most conservatives, and it bugged him.  The selections here reflect that.  More thoughtful than most, and, if you've got a sense of humor, hysterical.

+The sound quality on the remaster is pretty decent although it is louder than the original version--it isn't quite as harsh as most remasters. Done at Skye Mastering (I would have preferred the Abbey Road team that worked on The Beatles, Lennon and McCartney remasters myself), the EQ choices aren't harsh and while louder than the original CD, there's dyanmic range and a nice analogue "sound" to the disc. It doesn't sound as good as the DCC (the "Holy Grail" of CD's for this album) but it does sound nice. Detail is quite nice as well on this reissue.

See, the idea was to show Shatner's acting range by having him play two different emotions on the same track.  Of course, this being Bill Shatner, he overacts every emotion.  This is a terrible album, but it is the Holy Grail for collectors of bad celebrity recordings.

+The "Road Movie" DVD (94 min.) is a faithful transfer of the original VHS movie, without any extras or bonus features, but with a noticably better sound quality. The song selection features most of the "Monster" albums tracks (8 of the 20 songs), and then some additional similar-sounding songs that would eventually end up on REM's next album ("Untertow", "Binky the Doormat" and "Wake-Up Bomb"). The sound is of course electric guitar-heavy and distorted, and if that is not your favorite REM sound, this DVD is not for you, although there are several more "traditional" REM songs such as "Losing My Religion", "Everybody Hurts" and "Man on the Moon". Peter Buck, not Michael Stipe, is the star of this movie (and it's hard to outshine Stipe), just watch him for example on "Star 69" and "Let Me In", wow.

That song was She's Got That Vibe, the artist was R. Kelly and Public Announcement, and the album was Born Into the 90's.  I never thought that She's Got That Vibe received nearly enough attention, as to me it stands as one of the most energetic and infectious songs of the decade.

Then I actually got one of her CD's and fell in love with her immediately. It's actually incredible how in one instant- as the cd began to play- all feelings of contempt I had towards her vanished completely- never to return. After that I couldn't get enough of her enchanting voice and dreamy music- and I needed so much of it that when I saw they had a music video collection I HAD to have it- and so I do.

INDISPENSABLE for all Slash, Velvet Revolver, and GNR fans!!!
+Overall the songwriting is very strong on this album. It is one of my favorite post-Ozzy Black Sabbath discs. The only drawback I can think of is that the production could use some more oomph to it, the guitar and bass tone sound thinner than they should be.

+ This genre of music is sometimes hard to take seriously. Not because the band doesn't have talent, although that is often the case, but rather because the lead singer thinks that screaming is the most effective way to bring forth his message. Absent are intelligent lyrics or interesting tempo changes. Hard core rock or whatever you want to call it often suffers from muscians playing all their instruments at Mach 10 without a single clue about song composition.

The repertoire on this CD ranges from Bill Monroe's classical instrumental "Cheyenne" to Jim Croce's originally non-bluegrass "Age", and there isn't a weak tune here.  Everything is squarely in the bluegrass tradition established by Monroe and Scruggs, yet, more than fifty years after the phrase "bluegrass music" came into being, and more than twenty after these cuts were recorded, every one is fresh-sounding and stimulating.  And while there's no shortage of star instrumentalists here (Tony Rice, J.D. Crowe, and Jerry Douglas are certainly among the all-time greats), this is definitely a team effort; the ensemble playing is tight, and the harmonies are wonderful.

+5683	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This was in fact a very good album but unfortunately very overlooked. The album spawned two huge hits; "Silly Love Songs" and "Let 'Em In". The odd thing about this album is that it includes songs sung by each member of the band. The album before this only showcased one song sung by another member of the band other than Paul McCartney. This album includes "Cook Of he House" (sung by Linda McCartney),"I Must Do Something About It" (sung by drummer Joe English), "Wino Junko" (sung by guitarist Jimmy McCullogh) and "Time To Hide and "The Note That You Never Wrote" (sung by long time member Denny Laine). The three extra tracks that appear on this CD aren't as good as the original tracks but they do however add a little spice to the album. After this album was released Wings went back to a trio for "London Town" and back to septet for their last endeavor "Back To The Egg". I like this album because the music is very solid. It's different from your normal McCartney material. It's nice to hear some of the other members contributing.

+novice fan compared to many who have commented here, and who will comment, so keep that in mind. That being said I thought the dvd was pretty great. I basically knew every song, and the setlist is a "greatest hits" sort of setlist too. Most fans of YES will know the songs. As for the visuals the film quality was pretty good overall. However, anyone can clearly see how the concert was simply SLAPPED ONTO DVD FROM A VIDEO SOURCE. There is absolutely NO remastering of any kind. Near the end of the show I could see lines on the screen from I guess where the video source was scratched. And there are all kinds of video anomalies that anyone would see in an old vhs movie, or any dvd that was never remastered. Still, with all of this being known, the stage was well lighted and very band member was easily recognizable. The image is NOT blurry or fuzzy, and the closeups are good. It is true though that often when someone was playing a solo the camera was not on them. Here I am thinking of Chris Squire on bass, not enough closeups of him playing bass solos. Also, I don't really remember many closeups of Alan White the drummer. As for Rick Wakeman mostly the camera came up to him from behind or from the side. We don't see Rick right in front of us often if ever. Mostly all of the good closeups are on Steve Howe on guitar and Jon Anderson on vocals. The audio is what I had the biggest problem with. The audio isn't so bad, but it seems that it was dubbed on to the film and it doesn't quite match the band and the singer as they play. The sound is synched up closely, but it's not a match. It often seemed like the band was lip synching to a soundtrack. Obviously they were jamming and playing incredibly, but this is what I think is the biggest flaw of the dvd. The other thing that pissed me off was how the dvd case was one of those new cheapos that is mostly hollow and missing plastic. And the disc is a simple silver affair without color. There is no track listing on the dvd insert or on the disc. It does smack of someone making an easy buck. Also, at the end of this concert film we see the movie as being rated G. Wow, straight from a movie theater piece of stock footage to a dvd.

From the first second of the show,  shimmying in from stage-right, Stevie pulverises the stage, his instrument,  his face and the crowd with the most gut-wrenching sonic assault I have  ever seen or heard. Outstanding though most of his studio albums may be,  you have no idea - really, none - of the energy - the man's sheer brute  strength - the power of Stevie Ray Vaughan's playing until you see it  unfold before you, even on a slightly tinny video.

The 1970-71 tours and records, were actually, very funny, and full of a hidden virtuosity, hidden by the antics of Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (Flo & Eddie). Their voices can be shrill, and grating to people with more middle-of-the-road tastes, but that's the irony and beauty of it all. Those voices once fronted a very popular "pop" group, The Turtles, and the sleeve notes from The Mother's "Freak Out," from 1966, had a quote from an A&R man, saying he could clean them up a little, and make them as big as The Turtles. So, when the original band broke up and a new, revamped line-up appeared and they were hired, it kind of showed them who knew what.

This is the 3rd LP of Wings' "Golden Era" - when the summers seemed to be dominated by Paul's latest single (Band On The Run/Listen To What The Man Said/Silly Love Songs)and each LP also threw at least one more good single up for mass consumption.  This LP was released with 11 songs and each is good - really good.  "Beware My Love" is one of the great neglected Paul songs, but Denny had a good one with "The Note You Never Wrote" and Jimmy had a good one with "Wino Junko" and even the drummer has a song on here that's good as well as "Cook of the House" which showcases the always underrated Linda (she really does have a nice voice and she can copy Paul's keyboard instructions quite well).  San Ferry Anne is really good too and "She's My Baby" shows us where the future will take Paul.  Wings was not the same after this, though London Town had some fine moments and so did Back To The Egg they would never be the mass-appeal monsters that we had seen from Paul through the mid 70s.

"Award Tour" was their greatest hit, cool song, you've probably heard it. "8 Million Stories" is Phife's solo, but if you're expecting humor, you're wrong. It's actually about his life's problems, and the beat is nice. "Sucka Nigga", Tip's solo, confronts the use of the n-word, Tip's voice sounds perfect over the beat and the voice sample in the chorus is funny. "Midnight" has a dope beat, good lyrics, very smooth track. "We Can Get Down" might be the catchiest track here, gotta love the chorus, just a fun song overall. The same could be said about "Oh My God" and "Clap Your Hands" (the latter has the same voice samples as in the Das EFX song of the same name). "Keep It Rollin" is noteworthy for the beat and appearance by Large Professor. "Electric Relaxation" might be the best beat on the album, it's so beautifully relaxing and smooth, it doesn't sound like any other Tribe song, it's funny in its own way.

Bird on a Wire is almost a standard now, but the shimmering production and crisp delivery coaxed me gently on until I was fairly pinned to my seat by the end of the title tune. The rest of the album is enthralling: the production's lush but not sugary, the delivery's cool but not clinical. There are a couple of curve-balls: A Singer Must Die is rendered a curious a capella fashion, which recalls a Brecht opera, and the mid-tempo rock of First We take Manhattan is, in all honesty, slightly out of whack with the Sunday Morning feel of the rest of the album. But it kicks the album off so well, and it's such a great reading of the song (Stevie Ray's gorgeous playing is like in temper and as lyrical as his solo on Bowie's "China Girl") that you can forgive the album that modicum of unevenness.

You could get this title and have what so many other FZ albums do, though Lather was split into other albums like Sleep Dirt and Studio Tan. So many examples of what FZ is capable of. In the liner notes, it says it's understandable that this album could have been composed by a multitude of writers. Lather ranges from his Varese inspired orchestral works, jazz fusion, experiments with tape speeds, live versions of "Broken Hearts Are..." and "Tryin To Grow A Chin" (found on "Shiek Yerbouti"), and other stuff from the kitchen sink. Yet somehow this eclectic collection is all held together with Frank's guitar work and humor. Yes, a few go overboard (I never really got "Gregory Peckory). But when you start disc 1 with the powerful instrumental "Regyptian Strut", you know you're in for something special. Think of it as going into a funhouse. You're never quite sure what you'll get, but it's one heck of a ride.

+The elaborate stage direction gives the concert a more enjoyable experience.  The three different backgrounds and the three different costumes add to the spectacular pleasure: inside the velvet rope theme, the circus-like theme, and the hip-hop theme.  All blend perfectly with the dance moves and the songs.  However, her vocal expressions remain present the whole performance while never being overlooked.  Her facial expressions prove that she truly feels the songs.  Through the sexuality, political motivation, the pain, and the anger, she maintains her full musical quality.  All songs offer a new prospective through her life.  She keeps audiences excited, always having fun.

+The players are perfect in their support here - Baker's voice is the center of every arrangement, but with an instrument as magnetic as the singer possesses, how could it be otherwise?  His trumpet playing is as fine as ever, even at this late stage of the game.  It's sometimes sad to listen - there's pain so clearly and eloquently expressed in every song - but there's an unnamable joy present as well, for what a gift it is that he shares with us!

+Slither-15/10:There's no wonder they released this song as a single, it Rocks~! Starts off slowly with Duff's bass line, but Slash's guitar sweeps in to create one the best riff on the album! Weiland's vocals remind us of his Stone Temple Pilots' days unlike most songs, and that is a good thing! Slash's solo is probably the best on the album, and his guitarmanship steals the show in my opinion! The video sure is weird, but the song definitely rocks the hardest and the best on the entire album!

+"Eat That Question," what can I say? This is a vehicle for George Duke to treat you to a taste of his piano playing, and the horn section's repetition of the melody line throughout provides a solid backdrop; and I have always thought a high-school marching band could win a competition with this arrangement. And "Blessed Relief" is a soft, big-band piece, soothing melody, kind of mournful, but as with the rest of this material, a wonderful arrangement, pulled off immaculately by this huge ensemble.

I love the first three Santana albums, but have not purchased anything since this album (apart from one disappointment). Carlos started playing the blues and this is evident in his music. This sound of this album is classic and is complemented by so many other good musicians. A bonus is 'The Calling' highlighting Eric Clapton. There is hardly a dud track.

+One of the highlights, "Summer Love", sounds as if it may have been a leftover from Benson's masterful 1980 release "Give Me the Night".  A deft mixture of lilting melody and background vocals, simple instrumentation, and a subtle bass line, the song, like many others on the album, allows Benson to vocally his OWN guitar rifts, one of his trademarks.

+4. Cold & Ugly (Live): "Somebody throw this Bob Marley wannabe [edit] out of here!" One of the album's two live tracks. However, the playing is so top-notch, it's pretty hard to tell. Superb vocals and guitar work.
+What a way to end a DVD!
+
+My taste for Metal has progressed along with the genre (Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, etc). Unfortunately, though, you find too many Nu Metal bands that have dropped a well thought out lead guitar solo for a singer that likes to angrily growl through all the songs (like Slipknot and sadly even the new Drowning Pool). However, I think that Velvet Revolver have combined clearly sung lyrics with awesome music; hence, making a perfect guitar rock/nu metal combo.
+Zappas playing as far as guitar playing goes is nothing short of breath taking here, not that it ever is, but this album shows a more adventurous nature to Zappas playing one that had not been heard by him before and he had tried after The Grand Wazoo but was never able to reach this level of experimentation with such success again.

+2613	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Well as I have said many times in my reviews material on most living Blues Legends is very scarce! Buddy Guy has been in other peoples' releases for the last 10-15 years but does not have much of himself in concert format (when will they release the German "Musik Pur" concert!!). I have read the previous reviews and basically agree with them, this concert is short, its in monochrome due to the lighting (but it's a good "club" effect), and the set has no extras or bonus material. Buddy is interviewed over the top of several songs and it's, at first, a bit annoying.

+3953	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I have to disagree with the reviewer who says this isn't a good purchase: I understand -- when I first started the DVD, I thought the same things he mentioned: the camera work isn't great. The director missed the mark a number of times, and in the first cut you realize the cameras are in EXACTLY the wrong spots leaving the mics blocking the faces! But the work gets better, and you only notice about two missed shots after that.
+  Aja is as refreshing today as it was back in 1978-79 (?) when it was first released. It is that fine old bottle of wine - it just gets better with time. This DVD demonstrates the players and studio musicians who made it possible, and reveals some of Fagan and Becker's thoughts. Who would have thought that Jay Graydon's well-known guitar solo on Peg had that "Hawaiian sound"? Walter pointed this out in the video. I would have never have guessed. Yes, they ran through a few soloists on this tune, but Graydon hit it on the first try in the studio - and the rest is history. Beautiful!

In addition to the efforts of those mentioned above, The Bluegrass Cardinals (a West Coast band that took up residence in Virginia for a few years) weigh in with the Civil War ballad of the "Blue Eyed Boston Boy," while Dry Branch Fire Squad's Ron Thomason delivers a spare, emotional reading of "Golden Ring." A pre-country-megastar Vince Gill also appears on Here Today's "Lonesome River." Finally, the opening cut features one of the greatest bands ever - J.D. Crowe and the New South, featuring Tony Rice, Ricky Skaggs, and a then 17-year-old dobro player by the name of Jerry Douglas.
+Then some tunes from their latest studio album (at the time), first comes "And You And I" where they skip Steve Howe's 12-String acoustic guitar intro (but uses a white Gibson EDS-1275 SG Double-Neck Guitar for the other parts that do require 12-String Guitar) but do an alternate beginning (and a more revelatory one at that). Then comes "Close To The Edge" Yes's 6th Longest song though clocking in at 18:40...

The rest of the songs are live, apparently recorded at a small venue, if you can judge by the applause. Like I said...my fault. Not saying any of the songs are bad.

+1780	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	A HOLE IN THE HEAD is a classic film without a doubt or perhaps it feels like one to me. I saw it when it came out and I was just a little kid. When you are down and out put this film in and really see what it has to say. When your back is against the wall and it seems hopeless there is still a ray of hope. Someone somewhere does care. You have made a difference throughout your life and you don't realize it. You made a difference to the ones you loved and loved you. You made a difference no matter how insignificant to many you have made contact with. Perhaps is worth living after all. You may have more to offer than you ever knew. You will be missed. You never know what's around the bend of life. That's the way it feels when you haven't got a dime. This is a comedy, but everything is relative. Sinatra conveys the torment and despair of being down on your luck so brilliantly and effortlessly. Yet, he perseveres. My heart goes out to him in this film and his son. He just seems so sincere. Mister Capra, there is no corn here, just heart and a lot of heartfelt laughs. Thank you so much for this film. It still makes me smile. Love that song to!
+3573	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Santana is back!  and in a BIG way!  his latest single "Smooth" is downright the best song of 1999, as for the whole CD, its a masterpiece.
+I've got to honest here, his voice may not be to everybodys taste, but I like it.
+Opening with the perennial Gospel favorite "Go Tell It On the Mountain," teamed up with "Amen," the trio puts spirit and joy in this uplifting medley.  Their next medley of "How Great Our Joy/Joy to the World" is likewise toe-tapping and inspirational.  They soar on a dark, yet hopeful, version of the Advent tune, "O Come O Come Emmanuel."  This beautiful song is often treated as mournful and forboding; this version truly captures the anticipation of a people desperately waiting for their saviour.  Their treatment of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" is fittingly nostalgic and touching.  The addition of the 40's style radio is a nice touch.  Bounce along with their wonderful interpretation of Leroy Anderson's classic "Sleigh Ride."  Three of the CD's best cuts follow:  the moving "Call His Name Jesus," the gorgeous tribute to the Virgin Mary called "Be It Unto Me," which parallels Mary's destiny with our own; and the joyful "The Kid in Me" which praises the wonders of the season that makes us all feel like kids again.  Their teaming of the powerful "O Sanctissima" with the chorus from "O Holy Night" is awesome.  And just when you thought the guys couldn't top themselves, they give us "The Chipmunk Song" as the finale.  And are they ever having fun!  We do, too, every time we listen to this remarkable CD.  We never tire of hearing it, and it's message of love, peace, hope and Christmas joy is outstanding.  If you like really good Christmas music with impeccable vocals, "Repeat the Sounding Joy" belongs in your collection.

+The album also deserves praise for the sax solos by modern jazz virtuoso Chris Potter. Potter really adds to the value of the album with his legitamate jazz influence complementing the pop/funk that this album presents.
+As a teen, back in 1970, I listened to all that and enjoyed the circularity of the ending-- the album starts and finishes with the same chimes. Now that I'm considerably older, I appreciate the larger theme of a contemplative backward look at one's life, the hope of regeneration and dreams of a second chance at carefree childhood. It is perhaps this last thing more than any other that fuels our passion for nostalgia and the fond recollection of the good old days.
+I highly suggest that, fan or no fan, now is the time to revisit the Costello catalog and relish the fact that someone has gone and done it right this time around. Time to listen to disc 2.
+  From the album The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars (1972). Another great song.
+Now this is what I would call "A Great Lady Sings The Blues."
+As you consider that it's almost 40 years, it's quite amazing to get some of the original Tapestry musicians such as Danny Kortchmar, and Leland Sklar on this cd/dvd.  In additon drummer Chris Kunkel played drums on Fire and Rain.
+Band 16: Lauritz Melchior - 1948 (1:28) - Yet another passionless performance in a bizarre setting. A segment from the movie "Luxury Liner". This time the singer is seated at a piano in what appears to be dinner jacket without lapels; the audience appears to be a maid, seated in an armchair, and two young starlets standing next to each other and exchanging what are meant to be meaningful looks. The 58 year old Melchior croons away at "Winterstrme" in what is meant to be a charming manner. At the end, the maid opines "Wonderful! Just wonderful!"

+The album closes with Toad, another lengthy song, this one a jam. It's basically a sixteen-minute drum solo, with a bit of full-band work in the beginning and the end. It's an uneven song. The first seven or eight minutes are amazing, but the next seven are okay. When we get to the fourteen minute mark, however, Baker solos with furious intensity. Then the rest of the band joins. I feel a whole seven minutes could've been cut from Toad, then I would've loved it.

+I went to both concerts (they were at the now defunct Cleveland Stadium) and God bless Gilmour & company for realizing that 90% of the people attending the show were going to be too far away to see anything and staging the show to be seen from a distance (in my case upper deck center). TDSOT was my first Pink Floyd concert and as such holds a special place in my heart, in addition to just being a better film technically. I WANT THE DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER ON DVD!!!
+Given the 20 years this music has been in my life, I believe every song is timeless. Even the four additional tracks are exquisite. Contrary to many reports they are not left overs from the original sessions. They were recorded after the album was released and at least one was lovingly rehearsed in Jennifers' living room. Hearing them is like finding buried treasure. "Ballad of the Runaway Horse" is simply a masterpiece.
+9523	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The mix sounds a little different for this edition -- which is something I haven't quite made up my mind about just yet -- but the real find here are the rare tracks found on the bonus disc, which range from brilliant (an early, more vemonous take of "You Little Fool"; a completely altered "Little Savage"), to weird-but-enlightening ("The Land of Give and Take"; rough, early run-throughs of "Man Out of Time").  All things considered, this is essential listening for the Costellophile and a great way to kill a few hours.  Or years.

I'd never listened to it before this way and the sound and  subtle nuances are even better enjoyed this way. Elvis' songwriting on  "Imperial Bedroom" was at it's most crisp, witty and insightful.  Every track on here is a true jem...a shining jewel.  Well worth the money  if you spring for the gold masterdisc.  Some of these songs made me cry  then and still resonate now.

It's a terrific album that more than holds its own with later Townshend solo masterpieces (such as the more aggressive sounding rockin' album "Empty Glass"). The bonus tracks includes the acoustic "Sleeping Dogs" and "Mary Jane" with its banjo playing give the album a diverse sound. Some of these were on the earlier Ryko disc but, if I recall, the three bonus tracks at the end "Mary Jane", "I Always Say" and a re-recording of the standard "Begin the Beuine" round out this terrific re-release.
+The highlights of  this DVD collection have to be the videos "Fast Love" and  "Outside". "Fast Love" (from his "Older"  album) incoporates beautiful color schemes and special effects.  "Outside" (his new single off his greatest hits collection)  starts out a soft-core German sex film. However, in reality Michael wants  the song and video to be a message about sexuality (especially his own's)  and the troubles it can lead people to. While many are aware of his 1998  scandal where he was arrested at a public bathroom in Los Angeles due to  indecent behavior, Michael actually shows he has no shame of what he did in  what I think is one of the most inventive videos made in recent  years.

Why should these guys be denied that right? Simply because they have a problem with the system? OK, we'll change the ammendment to "freedom of religion, speech, press, and assembly UNLESS you talk smack about the wretched current shape of things. Seriously, that ammendment lets you right these reviews, you're exercising the right you think they should be denied if all you do is rant about them being "unamerican".  That having been said, this is a very good CD. When I first got it, I wasn't too crazy about it. The vocals didn't really hit, largely because I couldn't understand them, and I would go off and listen to something else for a while. After I had gotten thru this CD a few times though, it really started to grow on me, and it's becoming one of my favorite punk albums. Sure, it gets a bit repetitive, and I don't like how they diss Davey Havock from AFI ("davey destroyed the punk scene"), but the musical quality overall is just awesome. If you're a brainwashed propaganda spouting conservative, then no, this album is not for you. But if you like well done music with a purpose, then pick this up.

Well maybe not ALL costs, if I saw it on sale for a quarter I might buy it just so I can be a completist, but that's about all it's worth. I have NO problem with "Revolution #9". I like it when groups and artists experiment hell, I'm even a big fan of Lou Reed's 'Metal Machine Music', but this is some of the worst of the worst from any artist Beatle or not! 'Two Virgins' and 'Life With The Lions' are equally horrible, but after having listened to all 3 of them I'd say this one is the least musical or artistic of the trio. I realize that us Lennon and Beatles fanatics want everything our favorite group of all time did to be great, but there are always going to be a few flaws and 'The Wedding Album' is the worst offender. If you want to check out decent to good experiments by the boys from Liverpool then get George Harrison's 'Wonderwall' or even 'Electronic Sounds'. There's also Paul's 'The Family Way' and 'Thrillington' which are pretty well done classical compositions that he did early in his solo career. I'm not aware of any experimental Ringo forays, since all of his albums maintain some rock/pop sensibility, so I'd easily recommend his and every other Beatles solo works over this disaster.

+This text accompaniment to this disc is very full, so much so that the booklet is not contained within the jewel case, but rather within a slipcover in which both the CD/jewel case and the booklet reside. The liner notes include a description of the work, a brief piece about the quartet, and the lyrics of the songs both in original language and in translation - all repeated in English, German, and French sections.
+The two most interesting songs, on the other hand, are the fusion jazz of "Phantom Shuffle", driven entirely by a wicked sax lead, funky bass, and improvised guitar and synth licks; and the almost Night Ark-like Armenian ethnic fusion of "Prelude to Battle", highlighted by the instruments of the region, weird effects, and piano. You must check out Ara Dinkjian's albums with Night Ark if you are interested in ethnic fusion with more laidback melodies and regional instrumentation.

I love listening to Eric Clapton expesically this DVD titled 24 Nights. I bought this in Fye music a while ago I was suprised how great the format on this DVD was it goes from Claptons band, Blues Band, 9 Piece Band, to the final Orchastra Band. The segments on the DVD are great some of my favorite songs on this DVD are White Room, Sunshine Of Your Love, Bad Love, Wacth Yourself, and Bell Bottom Blues. Also there are alot of special guests that are featured on this DVD some are Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Phil Collens, and many others. I think this is the best Clatpon DVD release yet the music is the best part its interesting listening to the 9 piece band and the orchastra band with Clapton the music though went 100%. I was mad when I read other peoples reviews on this DVD saying it sucked and giving it 2 stars they are so wrong don't read reviwes that will make you change your mind on to buy this or not I know for a fact this is a must have for anybody I am a guitarist, and a classic rock fan I know what the real music is about. So 5 stars it is with the best performences at The Royal Albert Hall Eric Clapton 24 nights. Was this review helpful to you>?

Neil's voice is so sweet and tender, especially on songs like 'Daddy Went Walkin', the sincerity is touching. The only downside is that it clocks in at 62 minutes. I'm sure a few other tunes could have been added, but it might have spoiled the mood. Perfect for after a hectic day.

+I read an interview with Tony Visconti that all they could find while recording was white wine.  I also read that the Adrian Belew parts were recorded with Adrian arriving at the studio and being directed to a room to set up his epuipment.  A light came on when he was set up and a voice said "Play your guitar, Adrian" over a speaker.  Music started and he played.  After the track, the voice said "That's not good enough.  Try again."  He never saw anyone throughout the entire session.  Even if it's not true, it's a great story.

He created much of the slang we use today.  This album is laced with hard mobb beats ("Dusted and Disgusted"), melodic G-Funk laden with whiny keyboard riffs("Drank and Smoke"), and even a track with a beat hinting of what we call today "crunk" (1 Luv).  He paired these neat beats with with his tongue twisting flow.  Most of the songs on the album are classics; the ones that aren't are still tight.

+
+The Bee Gees said that "How Deep is Your Love" was a particular favorite of theirs, and as they perform that song, they show video of the brothers with their wives and children in the background.

+However, along comes Velvet Revolver, with members of Guns n Roses and Stone Temple Pilots.  "Contraband" have elements of both GnR and STP...which was expected when you have STP's frontman and GnR (and also legendary) guitarist Slash at the helm (not to take anything away from Duff or Matt).

Maybe it doesn't break new groud or maybe it fails to be purely Latino or purely jazz/whatever else, but it makes me want to get up and move....and it's fun and happy and it makes me smile.
+The lyrics to Baker Street are good, but I wouldn't say great. They give an overall impression of loneliness, futility and yearning for something better in the future. What's there is good but it's not great because the song does not tell a complete story. This is a concept album and every lyric addresses these issues of loneliness and itinerant living on the road. Considering the entire album's lyrics as a whole pushes them up a notch as ambitious, intelligent, very good, and maybe you could consider the whole as a complete story. They fall short of something blisteringly great like "Eleanor Rigby" (The Beatles) or "She Always a Woman" or "AllenTown" (Billy Joel).

Also, I find the PCM stereo soundtrack to be better than the surround track.  Bass is better and soundstaging is much better.  Red Rain as an extra is only available in PCM stereo and it has amazing bass.  I imagine the original track was in stereo so no wonder it sounds better.

"Tinseltown Rebellion" quotes  "I Love Lucy," the Doors, Culture Club, Kajagoogoo, and Woody  Woodpecker in a much-needed satire of MTV (at its first peak). But Zappa  also introduces "Trouble Every Day" with an MTV verse, updating  the target but robbing the original of  its raw nerve. He dedicates an  obscenity-laden song "to all the Republicans in the audience,"  then follows with a straight doo-wop take on the Four Dueces'  "WPLJ." The songs, with trademark satirical lyrics and skillful  presentation, capture in miniature all that made Zappa  maddening, and  great. It also makes "Does Humor Belong In Music?" a minor but  worthwhile entry in Zappa's prolific library.

Thats right my friends, forget about The Strokes and The White Stripes and all those other "The _______s" bands. The 60's retro thing might have been cool for a hot minute, but lets face it, its weak jingle pop with a distorted guitar. So now, I present to you the greatest album I've heard this year: Velvet Revolver - "Contraband". Thats right, Velvet Revolver has come screaming into your CD player and offers 60 minutes of pure, unbridled rock and roll. This is the CD that ripoff rock bands like Andrew W.K. and Godsmack wish they could make. Pulsing with the best influences of the past three decades, Velvet Revolver's sound is classic, modern, and forward-looking all at once. They create a menage trois of Guns & Roses' most powerful anthems, Stone Temple Pilots' crunching Zeppelin-influenced grind, and the raw talent of an undiscovered rock powerhouse. So I implore you, make a stop by the local record store and pick up this album. Velvet Revolver: possibly the last great rock band.
+The video ends with a studio recording of Neil performing 'Silver and Gold' in 1997.  It's a bit grainy and Neil rolls the credits over it, so it has a throw-away feel to it.  Only Neil would do it this way.  Nothing's good unless it's imperfect.  Ya gotta love the guy.

He seems to have bought all his influences together into a sound that was unpredictable,cocky,witty,explicit and often downright ingenious all at the same time. Following the breakup of the original lineup of the Mothers Of Invention in the early 70's,Zappa regrouped to record two seminal instrumental releases in utilizing the still relatively new jazz-fusion genre. The music's blend of jazz improvisation through psychedelic era rock was just about the perfect base from which Zappa to continue to perfect his art. Best part was his own musical innovations were already moving in that direction organically anyway. Retaining the talents of Ian and Rush Underwood,Don Sugarcane Harris and of course George Duke,he also bought in talents such as Jean Luc Ponty,Napoleon Murphy Brock and even Tina Turner and the Ikettes on backing vocals for this album to re-create,in new vocal and melodic ways,what he'd achieved with his previous two studio releases.

+The Down Side: Hardcore christian fans may be a bit unsettled by the lack of "message" this time around. It's my guess that Skillet wanted to break out into the mainstream, and in doing so, checked their bibles at the door.

+"The Legend of the Golden Arches" is a Frank Zappa classic, played for years by the man himself in various lineups, even by his Ensemble Modern. The mid section is where the "Meat" is; Ian Underwood's screaming clarinet is out of this world and full of some of the most passionate playing on a Frank Zappa album ever, before breaking into some harpsichord dissonance. The album slows down a bit with "Louie Louie", which provides some laughs as the Mothers distort the classic at The Royal Albert Hall, before moving onto "The Dog Breath Variations", one of Zappa's favorite compositions. Instrumentally speaking, its more of the same, but the music is unbelievable. You must buy this to understand just how unique this is! "Sleeping in a Jar" is The Mothers at their most haunting, with a distant trumpet-sound soloing above - again under 45 seconds.

+The lighting on this tour was genius. Guitarist Brain May once callled it the "pizza oven" lights. They follow the mood of the songs almost perfectly. The show starts with a fast rendition of "We Will Rock You." Then they wind it down a bit. I have to agree with some people when they say Freddie played the piano more on this tour then the 1986 Magic Tour (Also very much worth checking out.) But, people have to realize the tours to follow were PACKED. It's kind of difficult to get 70,000 people to feel like they're virtually part of the show when the frontman is sitting at a piano.
+6346	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	In my opinion, the original Hotel California album by the Eagles was, quite simply, a masterpiece.  I don't use that term often but the quality of the songs, the way they were arranged so that they flowed into each other, the harmony of the group, the way that the songs seemed as if they were written just for the person who sang the lead on them; all of these made this album the quintessential album that reflected the peak of music in 1976.  No album ever matched it and few albums have maintained the ability to transcend the generations the way Hotel California has.

Many of the lyrics are very inspired, and this would have been a hit-making album. Add back "Hotel California," and you have an album that becomes a musical icon for a group and a generation. I love this song (like nearly everyone else that likes the Eagles), but this album is more than one song. As an album, it is one of my favorite Eagle albums. However, come for the Hotel, stay for the other courses...

Bruce Springsteen has quite a few good ones, some not so appealing INMOP, but this one is top notch from start to finish! Every track stands out on its own and it's hard to pin point the best here! From the title track to My Hometown, Bruce and the E.S. Band deliver a Glory Days grand
+In conclusion, I cannot see how anyone cannot give this album five stars because it is so good, anyone can enjoy it. My parents are into classical music and my sister is into pop like Hillary Duff, and all three of them love this album as well. I apologize for not writing this before the Christmas season, but I hope that you will enjoy this album as much as I did.
+As with many Springsteen outings, the plight of the working man is never far from his mind. "Downbound Train" and "My Hometown" both stand out as more pensive ruminations on rough times and people who are out of luck. Perhaps that's one thing about Born in the U.S.A. that makes it so intriguing: the catchy anthems and big instruments mask decidedly darker stories and more obtuse themes. It's something Springsteen has always been good at and here he displays it flawlessly.

Well they could and they did and it's an  absolute triumph. Bold and brilliant character driven songs by Elton John and Lee Hall propel the story of 'Billy Elliot' the young lad who trades his boxing gloves for ballet slippers.
+The only negative thing here is that with the exception of  "Careless Whisper," all of his videos from his Wham! days were  not included in this collection.

+This album opens with "Stinkfist", a song that hits you like a sledgehammer, it's so heavy.  On the surface, it seems to be about a particularly painful-sounding and disgusting sexual practice.  In fact, it's actually a heartfelt song about the necessity to shock people in order to get them to pay attention to anything these days.
+So on went the DVD which was a note for note recording of a 1977 show at the Rainbow Theatre. I sat back and closed my eyes as the familiar songs began to wash over me. But not being visibly "distracted" the words and lyrics began to hit me.
+"nima" is an astounding album. I actually think they've outdone themselves with "Lateralus" and perhaps I'll even view "10,000 Days" as such, but this record is totally worth owning. If you like alternative metal, or just rock in itself, you owe it to yourself to give this record a chance. "Undertow" is also excellent.

A real concert video is just that, a live video of a band on stage playing their songs. Thank GOD I bought a cheap VHS version. I never even watched the whole thing. If you want to see a real show check out Iron Maiden's Rock In Rio or Primal Fear's The History Of Fear. This crap wouldn't be worth watching if it was sent to you for free!!!!

+  With guests such as Larry Carlton,Dave Grusin and Jeff Porcoro? This album takes a very interesting turn for albums of that era. It's slow and ballad paced. Stripped down. Yet not overtly funky or abstract. Some people refer to it as the beginnings of the "smooth jazz" genre. Yet it has that rawer analog era production which gives it a gentle snap overall. Normally an album with such strong repetition wouldn't excite me. But essentially extending on the mellowest side of the Grover Washington Jr. school of smooth,sleek and soulfully melodic sax? This is part of a wonderful era for the pop jazz genre.

+5801	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	In My Time is a definite departure from the usual fare that I've come to  expect from Yanni.  Abandoning the electronic sound of synthesizers, he has  chosen to soften his musical approach by giving it a more orchestral feel.  The predominance of piano and violin throughout this recording is a very  soothing and relaxing change of pace for the admitted king of New Age  music.  His experimentation with style may alienate some fans who prefer  the more modern sound of his earlier recordings;  however, for this  listener, the experiment is a smashing success.
+I also have Undertow and Lateralus and I must say that this is their best album. This was the first album where the band started to enter their experimental/progressive phase of their career.  I like the way a lot of their songs are up to 8 minutes in length.  If you have a short attention span and can't get into long songs then don't but this CD. Tool has shown that they are a band with depth and versatility.
+
+The album starts with Stinkfist, a very controversial song upon release, it's one of the better crafted songs on the album with some great vocals by Maynard. It's not really one of my favorite Tool songs ever but it's definately a favorite on the album. From there we move to Eulogy, another fan favorite with an odd spoon-sounding intro, big riffs and powerful vocals by Maynard. H. is probably one of the more underrated songs but even though it's not a huge favorite, it's got some great aspects to it and musician interplay. Another popular song off the record, though not a single was 46 & 2, which speaks of the human chromosomes and potentially getting 2 more. An incredibly catchy riff is the basis of the song and it almost sounds like a twisted pop tune if radio embraced this kind of stuff.

+The title track, 'Hotel California' is one of the best songs of all time, and it has one of the top 10 guitar solos of all time as well. Hotel also has one of the greatest lyrics of all time, "You may check out, but you can never leave!" I mean how awesome is that!?!? 'New Kid In Town' is one of my favorite Eagles songs, so that also helps the album be one of the best. 'Life In The Fast lane' was the first Eagles song I ever heard and I sill think it has one of the est guitar riffs I have ever heard in my life! 'Wasted Time' is alright, its the only song Im not extremly fond of. 'Victim Of Love' is my favorite song off of Hotel California I just love the feel to it and the whole sound and tone of it. 'Pretty Little Maids All In A Row' and 'Try And Love Again' are both great ballads. 'The Last Resort' is a really good song and the perfect one to finish off the album.

He has done himself as well as his  fans a great service, and for those who have yet to discover Cale, this is  arguably the place to start.  Choosing between this one and the lush  "Paris 1919" (1973) requires a coin toss, but anyone interested  in the searching, melodic side of this man's very unique work should  probably own them both.

However, once the band got the kinks out (e.g., decided to drop the Karoke segment and do "Staring at the Sun" acoustic), the Popmart show was incredible. As always, the new songs had new twists - "Mofo", "Last Night on Earth", and "Please" were done much better live than on the 'Pop' (1997) record. Other highlights include "All I Want Is You" combined with INXS' "Never Tear Us Apart" (which was a subtlety not lost to this viewer, considering that INXS singer had just died), the Edge's solo rendition of "Sunday Bloody Sunday", and rocking versions of "Discotheque" and "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me."

Robert also takes us to the earlier years of his life on "Back To The Hood Of Things" featuring additional flows of DeAndre Boykins & Carey Kelly. You can also hear him flow distinctly on "Homie Lover Friend". The weather never felt as hot as stated on "Summer Bunnies" out taking in some sunrays. Then as night falls upon the summer, he has something for the ladies to dance to as R. Kelly shows them how he'll "Freak Dat Body".

I think those who like this would like David Phelps (probably my favorite). I say this, because I put him on right after Yanni, and saw some similarity. To me Yanni Tribute is inspirational, and watching the faces in the audience is a treat in itself. The singers, the musicians, the audience! Bravo!!!!
+In conclusion, "Aenima" is as smart and innovative as heavy metal gets. It's absolutely essential for all metal collections, and, nine years after its release, its brilliance and shock hasn't worn off. It is truly epic. But, even still, I don't think my above descriptions do this album justice. This is one of those albums that you have to hear to believe. And if you're new to Tool, believe the hype, and do yourself a favor--buy this C.D.!
+This album is a little backloaded with the good stuff.  Two of the first four tracks are good songs, one is pretty good, and one is OK, but tracks 5-13 are the heart of Contraband.  There isn't a bad (or even lukewarm) song in the bunch.  It really picks up with Spectacle, and from there on out it's just as good as anything I've ever heard.  The standout songs are fantastic - easily the best mainstream rock to come out in a while.  "Slither", "Set Me Free", "Headspace", "Fall To Pieces", "Superhuman", and "Loving The Alien" prove that Velvet Revolver is an outfit to be reckoned with.
+So, if you have never seen it or heard why they got back together for a time, check this concert out and you will agree with me, they never really lost their appeal together here.
+Ladies and Gentlemen, the intro to 'Hotel California' (the song) is a revelation, you have to hear it to understand what I mean.  It is NOTHING like the vinyl, there are guitars everywhere, doing harmony, with sound effects swirling across the sound stage....I heard very little of this off the record, just the two main guitars harmonizing.  It was truly one of those "a ha" moments we all hope for when playing the SACD for the first time.

+Kalinnikovs First Symphony of 1895 earned the composer a long lasting reputation, despite problems in getting the work premiered (the insecure Rimsky-Korsakov had low regards for the symphony and the original score was temporarily lost). The score, which brings to mind Balakirev's First Symphony, is remarkably fresh, energetic, & inspiring, with the alluring wonders of the andante commodamente movement and the rustic playfulness of the scherzo. It has that appealing Tchaikovskian passion and poetics in the final movement in particular and the idiom is not a world apart from that of the Russian Five (again with Balakirev the main impetus of the work). The Second Symphony (written two years later) is altogether folksier though quite as appealing as its predecessor. Here, Borodin looms a bit large at this juncture. Gone is the drama of the First Symphony's first movement and in its place is the festive atmosphere that dominates this movement and the finale. The slow movement goes along dreamily. In all, it is an endearing work, and conductors like Svetlanov, Kuchar, Kondrashin, Dudarova, and Jarvi were right not to place this work in the back seat of oblivion despite the popularity of the First Symphony.

Musicians Elvis Presley, Aaron Copland, James Brown, Hans Werner Henze and Dizzy Gillespie paid tribute to Springsteen as the musician who had the greatest influence on American music in the 20th century. John Steinbeck made an appearance from beyond the grave to thank Springsteen for bringing renewed interest to his great novel of the Depression, "The Grapes of Wrath," through frequent name droppings of "Tom Joad" in his songs. The actor Henry Fonda, donning again his costume from the 1940 John Ford classic, climbed up on stage to sing a duet of "Okie From Muskogee" with Springsteen, though The Boss altered the lyrics to "We smoke lots of pot in Muskogee.

I never got the original LP, and I'm glad, as this CD version has to be far superior to it.  It has 5 bonus tracks, all of which really enhance the album.  It's bursting with some great original material (Ti$$ies and Beer, the sensitively titled I Promise Not to Come in Your Mouth, the epic The Purple Lagoon/Approximate, and the hilarious tracks The Illinois Enema Bandit and Punky's Whips), and it has great live versions of classic Zappa.  I usually don't like Zappa's "comedy" songs, but Punky's Whips and Illinois Enema Bandit are really funny.  Cruisin' for Burgers runs an epic 9 1/2 minutes, with a great guitar solo.  It's better than the short version from Uncle Meat.  I'm the Slime has a very enthusiastic Don Pardo (from SNL) announcing, and The Torture Never Stops has a much more looser feel to it than on the studio version (and it makes it better).  The band is incredibly tight as usual, and the SNL horn section really seems to be enjoying themselves (Zappa got the best out of his musicians).  Warner Brothers deleting Punky's Whips for fear of offending Punky Meadows is hilarious (even though it did appear on Baby Snakes shortly after this album).  One of Zappa's most brilliant albums....

+Looking back, its clear Wheels of Fire was their masterpiecea moody, jazzy, bluesy, hard-rocking collections of songs on Disc One (In The Studio), and on Disc Two (Live at the Fillmore) a live album to top all live albums, a tour-de-force showcasing the virtuoso talents of all threeBaker on drums, Bruce on electric bass and harmonica, and Clapton on electric guitar.  The expression, It doesnt get any better than this, though highly over-used, applies.  Cream did for guitar, bass, and drums what Elvis Presley did for rock vocalists, and the Beatles did for singer/songwriters.  Cream unwittingly launched extended jamming and long instrumental solos as a regular feature of live performances, and in turn a host of heavy metal bands, but nobody, and I mean nobody, could rival them.  As their name implies, they were the cream of pop musicians.

The musicianship of the drummer, sax player and bassist/vocalist is superb with each exuding power, nuance and style.  How this configuration creates such sweet harmony WITH NO guitar or keyboard is simply amazing (the harmony is created between 2 string bass and baritone sax, with only a bit of over-tracking).  It is easy to see why many consider this one of the great bands of the 90's and why it is sad not to have more music from Morphine.

+Gone is the keyboard-dominated epic 80s metal of "Headless Cross" and "Tyr". This album focuses much more on Iommi's guitar and the way it interacts with Geezer's bass, with Geoff Nichols' keyboards added as support. Tony Martin sounds great and seems to have finally found his own voice in Sabbath. His singing is very emotive and shines on numbers like "Dying For Love" and "Cross of Thorns". He seems to have found control of his range and sings in  a way that brings to mind Ray Alder of Fates Warning.

David Sanborn & a host of others are there backing up Bowie as he takes over the Tower Theatre in Philly in July of 1974.  Overall, this is a solid live album.  Great mix of tunes.  Bowie's voice is a little strained, but the musicians are tight and everything seems in order.  Moonage Daydream, 1984, Changes, Aladin Sane, Diamond Dogs and a grip of other Bowie staples are here along with such gems as The Man Who Sold The World's Width Of A Circle.  Worth the cash and the listen.  The better of the Bowie live efforts?  You decide.  I prefer this over Stages.
+The DVD ends with some legendary Maria Callas performances.  You get a clip of the duet "Parigi, o cara" from the famous 1958 Lisbon "La Traviata", sung with Alfredo Kraus.  Then, you get the duet and "Vissi d'arte" from the equally famous 1964 Covent Garden performance of "Tosca" with Tito Gobbi.  There is intermittent commentary from Nicola Rescigno.  Callas was an amazing performer.

+Certainly Linda had the better voice (he stunning alto can be heard on backing vocals on many of these tracks)but Thompson stepped up to the challenge as a lead vocalist in Fairport Convention with a memorable voice all his own. His voice certainly has character and while it isn't as powerful as his guitar playing on this album, Thompson sings the lyrics with passion and heart. From "Roll Over Vaughn Williams" (a clever play on Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven")with its rustic folk melody imbued with an electric charge to the witty "Nobody's Wedding", "The Poor Ditching Boy" and the more traditional "The Angels Took My Racehorse Away" Thompson's writing provides an intelligent blast in the face of glam rock then just taking to the airwaves in America.

Recorded back in the mid-90's, this is simply a awesome show, highlighting the extraordinary talents of one the premier art-rock bands of the past millenia. Practically every song has a light show that is not only unique, but visually mesmerizing. I have viewed 100's of concerts, nothing comes even close. In fact, if it has a fault, I can say that it's almost too intense in places, and required several viewings in sections to not become simply overwhelmed at the sheer depth of this fast-moving and complex visual panorama.

+A very nice show...
+The sobriety of broken dreams and hopes is portrayed in the dark gloomy "West End Girl"-style pop of "Dream City."  "Is it the world that wants an audition?/Is it the world that wants a job?/Lean on a corner called ambition/Wait for whatever comes along" I also sense the aura of the high unemployment of Thatcherite England.  Yes, "One night in Dream City/it's unkind, it's unreal."

"Aenema" will give you chills down your spine. "Stinkfist" is also a classic. "H", you can't go wrong with that song. "46 and 2", also a classic. Other great songs are "Jimmy", "Hooker With A Penis", "Eulogy"...the whole damn album is good! Pick it up at your local record store, as you can't find it for download on Napster or iTunes.
+3. "Il Mio Cuore Va", A.K.A., "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic but sung in Italian, is a major highlight. Between the evocative set (a mock bow of a ship with stars twinkling in the background) to Sarah's beautiful costume and angelic voice, the piece takes on a new life and is far more memorable than Celine Dion's original take on it.

This album is tightly conceived, and if it lakes the brightness of their first album, it has gained a great deal of depth and musicality.  Also notable is their continued use of material from Phillippe Tatarchef (Rainbow Ride and D.J. Serenade), whose lyrics always surprise and intrigue.  There is an intelligence in their musical choices that belies the apparent simplicity of their songs.

I especially enjoy the later videos like Cocoon, It's in Our Hands, Hunter, and All is Full of Love. Some of the earlier videos by Michael Gondry are somewhat dated, but charming. Highly reccomended.

+The song "Spectacle" shows a great example of Slash's guitar brillance along w/ "Headspace". These songs have more than one solo of Slash.
+Please don't just go off of my words when you buy this record. Don't let those that think its a commercial band (far from it) sour your expectations of Tool. True 3 out of 4 records are Parental Advisory CDs, but they are well worth your time. I guarantee that if you are sick of the pop music and sick of the sellouts, then you'll feel right at home when you put Aenima in your discman. It won't click the first time though. Not until you let yourself go and become comfortable. This record will be in my collection till the day I die.

+The show gets off to a slow start, with two ballads featuring Purple keyboardist Jon Lord on grand piano and the orchestra. The first, Pictured Within, has a singer named Miller Anderson on vocals. The second song, Wait Awhile, features Sam Brown, a female vocalist who has recorded several solo albums, and has also toured with Pink Floyd as a backup singer. Neither of these songs is very good, and are the primary reason why I'm not giving this release a five star review.
+However, if one rents this film for what it actually is; a documentary about hippies and other counterculture enthusiasts and malcontents, it's quite fascinating.  The hippie community in Hawaii was even more 'far out' than that of those that were on the continent.  It's a world that seems farther away from us today than that of the 1950s (considering how much our society has regressed politically and culturally, that's not so surprising).  The film is very disjointed; don't look for any real narrative, but that's part of the scene: spontaneous, spaced out, and experimental.  That's it in a nutshell.  Jimi Hendrix is just the frosting on a VERY Alice B. Toklas brownie (for you kids, that's a brownie laced with hashish).  It all looks kind of stupid and pointless, but then not so much less so than the lame-brained films about twenty-somethings today.  Better 'rock-and-roll' movies about this generation are Michelangelo Antonioni's "Zabriske Point" and Dennis Hopper's "Easy Rider", and a great one is Bob Rafelson's "Head" (yeah, that's with The Monkees but it sabotages EVERYTHING and hey, Jack Nicholson was one of the writers!).  Still, this film is a neat time capsule.  Grab a bong and get it on with someone you love, and you might just enjoy it!

+2. The Beatles - Abbey Road
+The disc starts off with an instant classic track, "Drought Season"... this song talks about exactly what the title says - the lack of 'substances' going around in the area. Don't need to explain more than that. Following this track is "Rat Heads", a pretty good cut about snitches in the game. True words spoken on this track. Skipping a couple [good] tracks, we come to two of my favorites on the album - "Hide N Seek" and "Let Him Have It". Earl injects a whole lot of story-telling into his raps and both are like a street-book-on-tape. Both of the beats are insanely well produced and hit your subs with madness.

+Aenema is not as fast as Opiate or as heavy as Undertow.  It is more on the trippy side, take the listener on more of an adventure than an all out war.  The songs are fairly long, giving time for your mind to digest the notes; and the music is slighty more mellow.
+The last three songs is all that's left of the concept album Bowie was trying to model after 1984, only to have George Orwell's widow deny him permission.  There seems to be no justice, as Yes's Rick Wakeman released an album in 1981 titled 1984 with no repercussions.  Anyway, "We Are The Dead" are the words Winston Smith utters to his lover Julia before they are captured by the Thought Police in Orwell's novel.  Bowie's crooning over a slow melodic keyboard.  Bowie half-speaks/sings the lyrics while in the background, he croons the title words.

+Granted, hiring Geoff Emerick to put his Beatle-esque touches made for a handsome, rich sound, more than any other album in EC's discography. The expansiveness paid off right from the album's opener, "Beyond Belief." Toying with his own range and the overlapping vocal parts, Elvis' willingness to experiment rocked the foundations of all the early "punks" of the period. (Think of how closely Joe Jackson's "Night And Day" and The Police's "Synchronicity" followed.) The experiments were also inherent to the arrangements. The high pitched strings that slip out of the album's fade to "Town Cryer" were four cellos overdubbed to sound like an entire string section, as I recall.

+Fave tracks are far too many to mention, but I will recommend just about everything because it is all tasteful and superbly done.  In fact, I mess with this anthology so much, I've begun looking into purchasing individual discs to save wear and tear on this one.  Exceptional in every way, not just another 60s British beat band, the group offered a more genuine version of blue-eyed soul infused with jazz and classical influences, lovely Brit dialect harmonies, and superior musicianship.  Quality, not quantity, would definitely be the way to sum up their short 60s career and, yes, Colin Blunstone's voice and looks are all too appealing!

But don't take my word for it: take a listen.  "Your Body's Callin'" was a banger, no doubt. But the remix was hotter than fire! "Bump and Grind" was a good one too, but the remix was OFF THE CHAIN! With lyrics like, "I got what you want, you got what I need/HomeyLoverFriends is all I wanna be. It's the pretty brown brown, driving me wild...Oooh child, things are gonna get a little freakier..." Plus the dance "the Butterfly was out then, too.  "It Seems Like You're Ready"...."Freak Dat Body" was forgettable as so was "I Like the Crotch on You." "Summer Bunnies" was ho-hum. "For You" was another sleeper. "Back to the Hood Of Things" is where RKelly decided to become a temporary thug, of which he discovers the only thing he is really exceptional at is being a FREAK! "Sadie" is a nice cover, which I presume is/was dedicated to his mother. "Sex Me: Pts 1 & 2", the best songs on the album, period....  Lyrics were sexually-laced, not for the faint of heart. Kelly lets you know what's on his mind and what he plans to do about it. Go get this album and reminisce!

+Not a huge Joe Walsh fan, but this is a brilliant track. Nice slow, mellow, haunting with great piano.
+I know Samantha Fox does not have the diva stylings of Mariah, Whitney or Alicia but she does have some damn catchy little dance numbers. With the hard rock that came with her debut album back in '85, "Touch Me" (her 1st single) and "Do Ya Do Ya" showcase catchy choruses, hard rocking guitars and Sam really belting out the rock formula. And when she was bored with that, in '87 she came out with her self-titled album and came up with some Bubbilicious pop and suave hip-hop. "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" has that SAW's production smeared all over it with it's poppy and guitar driven beat. "I Promise You (Get Ready)" sounds like a more upbeat Dead or Alive track with some great keyboard jams. "I Surrender" makes you feel that you are walking down a cold, dark city street. A very haunting 80's track. A nice little cover tune of the Rolling Stone's classic "Satisfaction" and I was surprised at the R&B/rock arrangement it had, wayyyy better than Britney Spears's version. "Naughty" done by the jamming Full Force who gave Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam their wings, do their usual good job on giving Sam an urban edge by letting her rap. A Samantha Fox classic! She reteamed with Full Force for her 3rd outing in '89 with "I Wanna Have Some Fun" which can easily be called "Naughty Girls (Still Need Love)" which has a rhythm change, new lyrics but with a twist of "NGNELT" in it. Dusty Springfield's "I Only Wanna Be With You" get's the Sam Fox touch and a dance club track "Love House" are evident. From Sam's overlooked 4th effort, the sultry but funny Full Force produced, "Just One Night" (love the sax solo)and the verry catchy and cute "Another Woman (Too Many People)" are also included on this disc.

+I fully remember seeing this concert when MTV ran it as one of their Saturday Night concerts (hey, remember when MTV really WAS a music channel?), and was completely blown away by the ENERGY of this show. The opening medley of "Until We Sleep"/"All Lovers Are Deranged" ranks as one of the great moments in rock and roll history (plug your video in to your stereo or home theatre system and play this LOUD), and arguably David Gilmour's greatest live performance, instrumentally and vocally. He could not have chosen a better concert opener than this. My jaw was left hanging open. I also give him high marks for the choice of band mates for this tour; they complemented his style and renderings of the classic Floyd tracks. One writer asserts that his performances of some of these songs aren't as good as the Floyd performances...I beg to differ on one of them. I consider his performance of "Run Like Hell" FAR superior to the Floyd versions (with the exception of the original studio recording from THE WALL--in which case we would be comparing apples and oranges). Having the master-pounder-of-a-drummer Chris Slade (formerly of Manfred Mann's Earth Band), playing the drums in a forceful manner that would have made Bonzo stand up and cheer, added so much depth and intensity to this performance that it made the other renditions seem pale by comparison. As I stated with the opening medley: play this one LOUD. Wake your neighbors.

There is too much and too little as great songs like, "Nights On Broadway" and "Guilty" are cut short, but the typical 'Bee Gees song medley' and the 'Night Fever/More Than A Woman' segment made up for that.

And by any standard her work was and is exceptional.  Springfield was clearly influenced by the folk and soul movements of the 1960s as well as various jazz artists, most particularly Peggy Lee--and in light of this many critics have attempted to define her by genre.

I could go on and on. It's very hard for me to review Cale's records because they're so wonderful and perfect; they warrant essays. This is indeed a classic album. It reveals John's creative intent in the simplest forms, from brooding quiet ballads to manic, ham-fisted keybashing exercises in noise and chaos.

+4805	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	It wasn't until I was 24 years old that I got into Steely Dan.  I must admit that Steely Dan's music never grabbed me on first listen.  I was baptized by fire when I bought Citizen Steely Dan and listened to it over  and over while driving up and down the 15 in Southern California.  I was  determined to find out why everyone thought they were so brilliant.  After  many listens, I was a huge fan.  I then invested in Fagen and Becker's solo  albums which I thought were brilliant.  But when I heard that the Dan were  returning to the studio for an official Steely Dan release, I was ecstatic.  After one full year of waiting, my dream came true. So how is the album?  Well, upon first listen, I labeled it "difficult."  It isn't as  catchy as Gaucho, Aja or Pretzel Logic but, then again, this isn't the  seventies and, after all, if their music was as sun drenched and lulling as  it used to be, they would probably have to brave terrible criticism aimed  at their relcutance to branch out or experiment.  I listened to it again  and then a third time.  Amazing that after three listens, I know the names  of all the songs and their position on the disc.  That tells me something.  Thankfully, Fagen and Becker have not lost their edge these last few years.  Gaslighting Abbie, Cousin Dupree, Janie Runaway are all subversive and  twisted tales that rival such sharp classics as Hey Nineteen, Gaucho and  Everyone's Gone to the Movies.  What a Shame About Me is a middle aged dig  at the naive posturing in My Old School, Fagen and Becker's ode to Bard  College that was included on Countdown to Ecstacy.  Musically, Two Against  Nature is complex and brilliant.  As a reviewer once said about the Dan's  music: "Never before has such glossy petals contained such sharp  thorns."  20 years later, this still applies.  Probably the most  interesting thing about the disc and the Dan's return is the way Fagen and  Becker answer the question "Where have you been?" Their answer?  "Where have YOU been and, more importantly, what have you done?"  Brilliant and timeless, Two Against Nature is easily the year's best disc  thus far.
+As the DVD continues we get more hard rock concert footage and get to see the band as they criss cross the globe, snippets of interviews thrown in and it must be said that this is very well paced.

It could of also gotten very tedious and could of jumped around too much to be coherent.

+"Beware My Love," a throwback to Paul's days with that other band, is the best track of the lot, starting off with a poppy acoustic face but quickly transforming into a rollicking 6 minute hard rocker. "San Ferry Anne" is a simple, quirky tune that doesn't do much for the album, but at least is listenable. For those who are fans of the patented McCartney ballad, "Warm and Beautiful" fulfills your needs with the same old lyrics, but an interesting and strangely well, warm, tune.
+4736	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Steely Dan has progressed along a wonderful evolutionary path, from the college-rock early days of CAN'T BUY A THRILL to the mellow, polished jazz-rock of AJA and GAUCHO.  Through it all, the consistent thing has been  the fabulously obtuse lyrics.  Now we have TWO AGAINST NATURE, a worthy  addition to the Steely Dan "canon", not some lame  "reunion" album with nothing new to say.  Really, this album  picks up where GAUCHO left off, and shows them evolving down the same paths  that one can trace through their entire career.  In other words, they've  grown without selling out...truly the mark of musicians with integrity.  This album should attract them a new generation of fans, please the old  ones, and hopefully renew interest in the entire Dan catalog.  By the way,  the excellent box set CITIZEN STEELY DAN makes the perfect companion  purchase to this album...buy both and you'll basically have everything  Steely Dan has ever done.  Trust me, you'll love it all!

Lots of tasty album notes which I always enjoy.  Both artists are so gracious and both are smooth whether introducing numbers or performing them.  What a pristine live concert -- who needs the studio when the first take sounds so perfect.  Great balance between the "standard" arrangement and improv by the artist.  Honestly, I was near tears of emotion listening to these classic charts performed by the orginal artists.  Taylor and King are truly cut from the same cloth with the same tempermant; complimenting each others style glove-tight.  They seem like long lost siblings.  James always cracks me up with his dry, unstated humor.  Thank you for so graciously sharing your art with your faithful fans.  DVD is a real plus to see as it happened!  Someone had panned the production work (audio) and I'm sorry it sounds just perfect to 99% of our ears.  FIVE STARS!!

The remainder of the tracks are weak and uninteresting, save perhaps the last track.

+I usually splurge on all the Classic Rock Magazine fan pack releases, and this one is once again top of the line.  The magazine is filled with new interviews and old interviews from all persons involved with making Machine Head, even the late Jon Lord is interviewed, eerily giving the magazine his last interview before his passing.  Also all contributors to the tribute cd released with the magazine talk about how important and influential Machine Head was on them and their career into music.  Extended Purple family Glenn Hughes, Steve Vai (his connection to David Coverdale from the Whitesnake Days), and many others get extended interview pages, as well as Metallica and Iron Maiden.  As for the CD itself, well it's a mixed bag really.  The best songs on the CD are without a doubt with Glenn Hughes on vocals.  Himself being a part of Deep Purple from another time, to hear him tackle Maybe I'm a Leo and Highway Star is spine tingling. His vocals are dynamite on these songs, for a man 60 years old can he sing!  The Highway Star track with Glenn Hughes also features some outer-worldly guitar sonics from Mr. Steve Vai, very cool all around.  Coincidentally, there are 2 versions of Highway Star, and while I just discussed the bonus version included on the Classic Rock version, the other version features Chickenfoot, albeit a live version of the song, but featuring Joe Satriani nonetheless.  While not as sonically smoking as the Hughes/Vai studio version, it rocks well.  Other tribute standouts include Aussie Jimmy Barnes and Smokin' Joe Bonamassa on Lazy, Zakk Wylde's BLS on Pictures of Home, and Metallica covering When a Blind Man Cries (similar mood to Turn the Page).  Iron Maiden tackles Space Truckin', and it's nothing spectacular, but the real disappointment with this tribute, is with the 2 covers of Smoke on the Water.  They not only botched one of the most iconic songs / riffs ever known to guitar, but it's botched twice here on this tribute CD.  Santana / Jacoby Shaddix is just lifted off of Santana's own Guitar Heaven cd, so it's not even original to this tribute, and then The Flaming Lips version, is just out of place.  While I understand the diversity needed on tribute albums sometimes, the band and their version of Smoke just has no place here amongst titans like Maiden, Chickenfoot, and Metallica.  On a more alternative sounding tribute it would be better suited, and I like their version that it is different, again it just doesn't fit the hard rock / metal vibe here.  While I should dock 1 star for this, I won't because the magazine is truly monumental just as the album was first released 40 years ago.  The CD is a nice bonus, and while much of it does shine, the (2) Smoke track tributes are inexcusable.  Please don't let that deter you from purchasing this though, any fan of Deep Purple, or the Classic Rock magazine and especially fan pack series will get much to enjoy out of this.

+Overall, I think that this album is worth having in your collection.
+When people say this record grows on you, they're telling the truth.  Give it a couple of plays.  You'll see.
+The opening track "Rebel Yell" immediately sucks you in with its heavy-metal guitars, underlying synths, and incredibly catchy hook. Equal parts "Shout at the Devil" era Motley Crue and Peter Gabriel, this is Idol at his best. The album comes down to earth with the underrated, spacey tribute to superficiality with "Daytime Drama." A well-written song, Stevens guitar effects truly make it shine. The album's true highlight, and Idol's biggest accomplishment comes next with the eloquently gorgeous "Eyes without a Face." With its haunting female backup singing, (courtesy of Perri Lister) pulsating bass, trippy guitar work, cool-new-wave synths, this is Idol's shining moment. The hard-rocking "Blue Highway" comes next which gives the album a needed shot of adrenalin after the magnificent, but drugged-out "Eyes without a Face." Next, Idol shows his instinctual, seductive, prowling nature with the lustful "Flesh for Fantasy." While Idol is a predator up to this point, he shows his sensitive, vulnerable side with "Catch my Fall." The added saxophones work nicely here. "Crank Call" is an above average, but by-the-numbers rocker that moves the album along. One of Idol's most underrated songs, Idol shows his punk roots with the take-no-prisoners; balls-to-the-wall-rocking "(Do Not) Stand in the Shadow." While "Rebel Yell" started off with all guns blazing, the album goes out with a whimper, leaving a lasting impression with the haunting and poignant "The Dead Next Door," the perfect closer.

+After all the years of being told to avoid this album, I should have looked at the facts.  It was a #1 album for a very long time in 1976, sold loads of copies, and had two huge #1 singles in "Silly Love Songs" and "Let 'Em In."  Only recently have I really appreciated the value of these two singles in the McCartney cannon.  The latter song is just really cool---sublime and addictive in its presentation.  And Paul's right...what exactly is wrong with a silly love song or two?  "Silly Love Songs" is great based on the fact alone that it's Paul shouting out a big "F... you" to the critics (not literally, but you know what I mean.)  I'll say this---these two singles hold up way better than anything John Lennon did after the IMAGINE album, and I go back to this Wings album more than, say, John's WALLS AND BRIDGES.  So yeah, it's nice to see (from reading articles on the internet and overall chatter amongst those rediscovering the solo work of the individual Beatles) that the so-called hipsters are finally coming around to this album and some other forgotten McCartney works (like RED ROSE SPEEDWAY, which I just rediscovered myself).

+It was quite a nice surprise to hear how these sounds melded together.  Weiland has a mastery of the mic like few other artists these days.  His songwriting, though sometimes odd, perfectly fit this smorgasbord of rock gods.

+The DVD also includes the live video of SHOUT IT OUT LOUD, and live performances of DETROIT ROCK CITY and SHANDI. This could be dismissed by some as just another license to print money to put in the pockets of the ageing Comic Book Monsters Of Rock, but if you're a die hard fan you'll probably enjoy it. It's just a shame that they're trying to relive their makeup glory days, it would have been cool to have seen some material from CREATURES OF THE NIGHT or REVENGE on here. Just because they weren't recorded with the Klassic Kiss lineup doesn't mean they're throwaways. Bruce Dickinson does some of the Bayley era Iron Maiden stuff in concert (SIGN OF THE CROSS) so why can't Kiss do UNHOLY or I LOVE IT LOUD with Ace and Peter?

+She recorded several albums which were among the most well-received in the Bluegrass community leading up to 1995 when her label, Rounder, persuaded her to put together a few new recordings with mostly previous releases, some as "guest star" on other CDs to come up with the compilation "Now That I've Found You"(It may have been called "Greatest Hits" for an artist that had HAD a "hit").

+The last segment is a 30 minute behind-the-scenes piece of Dave on tour. This includes comments on his playing by Nick Mason and Pete Townsend. (There's also an amusing bit where the tour bus driver admits he plays guitar himself and claims to attempt to emulate Dave "without too much success". This comment is immediately followed by a clip of Gilmour ripping through the solo of All Lovers Are Deranged).
+The sonically superior and smooth low end is one of the first things I noticed. But then I heard how much more space the mids are given, openning up an aural area that is usually (especially in today's peak limiting of music) buried in layers of instruments and vocals.

+After punk though, artists (Joy Division, Bauhaus, Duran Duran) wanted a wider range than what punk had to offer, and they were profoundly influenced by Bowie.

First of all the songs are allowed to go as long as they do for the simple reason that the band have given the songs that type of freedom, to start and finnish at they're own will.  For many this doesn't bother them, since all of the songs are entertaining and go through so many different structures and varitations within themselves .

The way they weave Celtic, Germanic, Turkish, Egyptian, African, and who knows what other influences and instruments with synthesizers and electric bass is unique beyond verbal description.

At the end of the concert when Gilmour is playing the extended solo at the end of Comfortably Numb and the huge disco ball rises up and cascades the audience with lights is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. You can relive this experience on these DVD's or experience it for the first time if you missed it. The DVD's are high quality footage of a great, long, Pink Floyd concert that you can put in anytime you want to escape to the Dark Side of the Moon. There are a few extra features that are worthwhile on these discs also, quite a bargain for the price, highly recommended.
+Highly recommended.
+938	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	GNR was better than average for turn of the 90's metal. STP was about average for mid 90's grunge (??!). This is not the worst thing you'll ever hear. It will be a big hit, then they will dissappear. It's nothing really, more of the same. Nothing dangerous. The Germs were dangerous. MC5, definitely. Metallica was exciting, Slayer blew the ears off my damn head, and Nirvana was right for their time-they said what needed said. These guys are professional musicians, plain and simple. This is a novelty. The garage band down the road that tries to cover these songs will sound better than this album. Heavy Metal is OVER as pop music, the real innovations are done by the kids playing around in the garage. Anyone can be #1 today, so ignore the charts. Buy the first few Grand Funk Railraod albums. They're heavier, and they had no talent. "Got this Thing on the Move" vs. "Slither", anyone?
+All in all, a fascinating introduction to a one-of-a-kind vocal genius.
+ Of course,the music itself is breathtaking: prominently bass driven song dynamics underpin stellar drumming from one of the best in the business, along with inspirational guitar lines and Maynard's honey coated, steel wrought vocals.

One reviewer advises against getting the DVD versions produced early on, but the "new copies" you can get at the store are identical in every way, both in packaging and content, to the "old copy" I have...  Purchased less than two years ago, as this DVD was released in mid-2003.  Others refer to "user error" in their monitors...  And I'm here to tell ya, it' ain't user error.  This is the worst-looking DVD I own (out of nearly 300) short of the 1st edition of "The Right Stuff" and the original release of "Highlander".  The picture really is THAT bad when viewed on a large, high-def screen.  I'd love to hear the excuse from the producers of this DVD, since the Led Zeppelin DVD (highly recommended, BTW), using thirty+ year-old source material from handheld consumer-grade film cameras, looks much better...  And clearly the equipment used to tape this concert only a dozen years ago would be much better.  It's all in the transfer and the transfer STINKS.

The previous CD releases of Fillmore omitted Willie Part Two, which on the original vinyl was the fade-in opening track for side two.

The Pronounced and Second Helping albums are still two of my all time favorites. This new CD is not that band but it still stands on it's own as some fine guitar driven southern rock. Of the new Skynyrd I enjoy Vicious Cycle a lot and this one as a close second. If you are new to Skynyrd give Pronounced, Second Helping, Street Survivors, and One More From the Road a listen.
+The song selection is great, although I wish "Bennie And The Jets" was included. Highlights include electrifying renditions of "I'm Still Standing", "Burn Down The Mission", "Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters 1 & 2" and "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting". It was great to hear the extended versions of "Sad Songs (Say So Much)" and "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" (as if the latter wasn't long enough). His voice is especially strong on "The One", "Tiny Dancer" and "Daniel". The closing medley of "Song For Guy/Your Song" ends the dvd on a high note.

+Eulogy may be one of the most offensive songs ever written about Jesus Christ (it questions his Messianic qualities), but look inward, and you'll see what MJK is saying - you may have thought this yourself.

It's the song that MTV would only call "Track #1" on its video rotation. Obviously, they missed the whole point. There's also a song that has someone reciting something in German - don't worry, it's not about the Third Reich - it's just an egg recipe.

+Re-Machined is far too short to be considered a five-star album. But even if this recording could have benefitted from including a few non-Machine Head-era Deep Purple tracks (especially opposed to covering the same song more than once), it still makes for one mighty fun, unpredictable, and adventurous listen. Hence, it is recommended to all serious heavy metal fans and D.P. completists.

I welcomed a chance to buy the 1999 remaster, but I'm very disappointed at the tinny, shrill, hard-to listen-to quality of the high end.

+949	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Velvet Revolver's debut album "Contraband" is the album for those disappointed by Metallica's "St. Anger." This is a work of ferocious, sometimes personal hard rock virtuosity that we haven't seen since, well golly, since the days of Guns N' Roses. It's no secret that the hype and attention directed at the band is due mostly to the fact that these are the ex musicians of the classic metal band fronted by Stone Temple Pilots wild man Scott Weiland. Some may say this is a publicity stunt, but here the guys prove they are really just a group of musicians emerging back into the flood lights desperate to really rock out. The band doesn't even try to prepare you for what's coming, with the first track "Sucker Train Blues" they immediately inject a roaring dose of Punk meets metal meets blues hard rock that never slows down. A lot of the album feels like a speeding train going out of control, the great thing about these veterans of classic song writing is that they know how to put heart and melody into the distortion. "Illegal I Song" and "Superhuman" sound like end of the world anthems of decadence and debauchery, but the band members know how to do it with gusto and Weiland brings his melodic brushstrokes from his STP days and masterfully mingles them with Slash's burning guitar licks and Matt Sorum's driving drums. Their tune for the "Hulk" movie, "Set Me Free" is also here and it still sounds like a refreshing rocker for a dry season for those tired of Linkin Park. The single "Slither" is one of the album's best cuts, it has a pounding trible drum feel, ripping chords and Weiland sounding like a Jim Morrison meets Iggy Pop with a dose of Kurt Cobain mutant. And yet the band isn't all pounding and roaring, their softer moments are evocative and very well-assembled. "You Got No Right" almost feels like a skillfull intermixing of 60's ballad-crooning with modern hard rock touches. "Loving The Alien" is another more softer moment that sounds like classic STP reflecting mixed with GNR jamming. One of the stand-out elements of the lyrics is the fact that Weiland makes them so personal at times. For months there was so much talk about the group's future seeming hazy after Weiland's double run-in with the law and his stint at rehab (again). But this adds to the emotions and feelings pouring from the songs, in "Slither" Weiland sings "rape my mind and smell the poppies" and gets edgier and more honest in other tracks. The guy has obviously suffered and knows how to filter it through the music. Velvet Revolver signals like Audioslave, the new era of the supergroup. Here we have some of the best rock talents of the past 20 years jamming and delivering with an album of pure ferocity. Anyone looking for something refreshing and exhilarating should make this album into a must.

+3682	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	One can easily say more negative things than positive about this concert DVD, but let me insist at the outset that the small number of positives unquestionably outweigh the many negatives.  At the heart of the disc is a phenomenal live performance by the Who in 1970, when they were at their instrumental height, and before the excesses of the sixties and seventies began taking their toll on the playing and hearing of the quartet.  Yes, there are many things to carp about, but in the end it all comes down to the fact that these guys were flat out superb that evening.  Although much of the end of the concert consists of a performance of highlights from TOMMY, most of the concert on the DVD (more about the contents in a bit) contains a host of covers, all of them stunning.  While all of the band members are outstanding, Pete Townshend (who was ironically of the three musicians the least virtuosic, both Moon and Entwistle having few peers) always seems able to steal the show with his helicopter power chords, brilliantly inept dancing, and congenial lunacy.  I am not generally a fan of concert DVDs, but I had a whale of a time with this one.

+On The Turning Way
+Frustrated by the poor sound quality of bootleg copies being sold, and further disappointed by the confining effects of digital sound reproduction when the album was sloppily released on Compact Disc; Jennifer wanted to re-release the album in a form that re-created the legendary, outrageous, sonics found on the original release. So, to mark the 20th anniversary, Jennifer re-mastered the recordings. She actually "un-mastered" them to be more precise. Bypassing all mixing boards and simply sending the music from the original analog master tapes directly to disc. She clearly loves this music. In fact, She kept the original master tapes in a closet in her home. They were found to be in better shape than the copies that were professionally archived!
+"Too Many People" starts the disc off.  The improvement is clearly evident by the superb distorted guitar solo (Hugh McCracken) which is easily beyond McCartney's scope as a player but which gives this song extra bite.  This song is a highlight of the disc.  "3 Legs" is a really good song with faux-time changes and interesting percussive and vocal effects.  "Ram On" is the sort of throwaway that Paul can do at any time.  Here, he seems to embellish his ukulele playing with overdubs of percussion and horns to make a mountain out of molehill.  Impressive.  "Dear Boy" has a nice melody but it's almost buried in the mix.  Over-production is really the only flaw on this disc.  "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" is a masterpiece.  Using the "Abbey Road" formula of sticking songs together, Paul does the same thing here to great effect.  It helps when you have a catchy chorus and a great horn arrangement.  Good drum work here (Denny Siewell) also as the drums play the song.  "Smile Away" is just a filler cut, but I'd rather have it than not and it's not out of place on here.  It's a good rocker, performed well and with great humor.  "Heart of the Country" might be my favorite song on this disc.  Good acoustic guitar picking aided by some electric guitar fillls.  It's very singable and just a toe-tappin' good time.  "Monkeberry Moon Delight" will have old Paul fans rejoicing in his old rock 'n roll voice, however the song has too much going on in it and goes on way too long and losses it's initial buildup.  "Eat at Home" is another fine rocker with a good melody.  It's a top notch track on the disc.  "Long Haired Lady" is a gorgeous song, well, half of it is anyway.  Linda's obvioulsy flat voice has one wondering what the hell Paul was thinking, having her sing with him.  "Ram On" is nothing more than a continuation of the early version.  "Back Seat of my Car" is an excellent track, well-produced by Paul and lushly orchestrated by (an uncredited) George Martin, it was released as a single in England.

John Williams has definitely outdone himself with this one, with one of the most popular movie themes ever written, "The Raiders March". That is only one of the themes that occurs throughout. There is one for Marion, which is played on soft woodwinds and a booming three note brass theme for the Ark, and a trumpet theme for the Nazis. "South America: 1936" starts off eerie and then explodes into knockout action music. Another great action cue is present in "The Basket Game" which consists of jumpy woodwinds, screaming brasses, and thunderous percussion. "The Map Room: Dawn" lays out the Ark theme the most. The two best action music tracks are definitely found in "Airplane Fight" and "Desert Chase" which utilize all 4 themes in full force with the orchestra reaching its full potential. The best track is the last one, "End Credits" which contains "The Raiders March" and "Marion's Theme" combined into a concert suite. An overall outstanding score with a flawless performance by The London Symphony Orchestra, with John Williams at the helm.

+While its admirable that Paul chose to let the other members of  Wings have more input on the album, it also bogs ATSOS down with mediocre  material. It's more than likely that Paul allowed a more democractic album  simply because he didn't have enough first rate material and knew it. It's  also possible that he wanted to create the appearence that Wings was a real  band and not just the backdrop to his musical stage show.

+I think perhaps my reason for feeling this way is that while "Low" and "Heroes" were mapping out new territory, "Lodger" tends to mine on those successes and embraces the burgeoning New Wave sounds that Eno and Bowie previously anticipated.  Mind you, when it's good, it's fantastic-- the proto-industrial "African Night Flight" is built around essentially the sound of crickets and electronic noises with Bowie frantically speaking out the lyrics as though there's too many words to get out, "Yaassassin", featuring a superb violin performance by Simon House mixes a Middle Eastern organ line with reggae (or perhaps Police-like?) guitars for an unusually natural sounding blend, "Look Back in Anger" finds Bowie at his most passionate and explosive over a new wave backdrop and a decidingly Enoesque arrangement of frantic rhythms and instruments waxing and waning in prominence and the pounding rhythms of "Boys Keep Swinging" nicely offset the total goofiness of the lyrics (and guitarist Adrian Belew is unbelievable in his solo channeling all sorts of noise).  Along the way, Bowie provides a couple features for Belew on guitar, who eats up "Red Sails" and "D.J." with his fierce and highly original guitar lines.

+I know most kids my age were introduced to Santana via this album's 65.7234 billion hits. Not me, though. While I heard Smooth and the like before any "classic Santana", I didn't know it was by Santana at the time. So I was consciencelly exposed to 'Los through the classics: Black Magic Woman, Oye Como Va, Soul Sacrifice, No One to Depend On, Europa, etc. And did that stuff kick huge keister, or did it kick huge keister? I guess I did hear all the big-deal Supernatural/Shaman songs BEFORE Black Magic Woman and its compatriots, but again, I had no clue it was Santana. And that let me tell you, that stuff's a world away from this. I mean, this can't even lick Abraxas or Santana 3's boots. I like Smooth, though, even if we've all heard it thirty-five-and-three-quarters trillion times. Catchy song, even with ROB THOMAS (who I'd like to kick) doing his "soulful" moans and whispers. Honestly, that guy's got as much soul as courrogated cardboard. But that's okay, because of Santana's slinky, seductive six-string solo. (Like the alliteration?) Even better is (Da Le) Yaleo, a fun pseudo-instrumental with Latin lyrics; and the attack on U.S. immigration policies known as Migra. And Santana's still Santana, which means he can play his guitar like few others. One of the top guys in the guitar game.

Q-tip and Phife make a perfect pair on the mic and Ali Shaheed Mohammed always mixes some nice smooth as butter beats to rhyme over...  This is the group's 3rd CD and between the first 3 it's nearly impossible to decide which one is the best.  They all have a fresh sound and its refreshing to hear compared with the garbage that's contaminated the airwaves now...
+Unfortunately their success in the singles charts was short-lived; even though they released great singles throughout their career. They experienced an unexpected come-back in 1969 with "Time of the Season", but this was at a time, when they had practically split-up.

+Even the interludes (tracks 4,6,8,10,12, & 14) are essential listening. Unlike most interludes, these tracks aren't a dumb skit or short instrumental; these tracks are smart and interesting. "Die Eier Von Satan," for instance, makes machine noises while a German man (maybe a dictator) makes a speech to a crowd.
+The reason for this has something to do with the mood of the song as felt by the band.  "With or Without You" and "Where The Streets Have No Name" are in colour showing the tour delivering what the fans want, while songs like "Pride" and "Silver and Gold" give another slant on the performance.  There are some really great onstage camera panning moments, placing you right with the band instead of just in front of them.
+"Aenima" is an excellent masterpiece from Tool. The band not only beat the sophomore slump but also went way beyond it. Tool would have more success to come including a headlining slot at the final Lollapalooza festival in 1997. Things however, wouldn't be so good in the years to come as lawsuits from their manager and record company came at them and forced their fans to wait for a new record in the next five years. "Aenima" is a true testament to Tool's power as a band and as a musical force.

In Australia, we supported it too. Even at that time, Elton was releasing albums in quick concession, which may be the reason for it being overlooked in England.  I bought it mainly to have the studio recording of 'Tiny Dancer'.  A poor live version of it appears on 'Live in Australia' (avoid at all costs, his voice was playing up then).  'Levon' is also here, and is normally the only track lifted for compilations, although in recent times, people are recognising the brilliance of 'Tiny Dancer' - it far outweighs 'Levon'.  The remainder of the album prove what a great collaboration Taupe and John are.  But ... if anything, buy the album for 'Tiny DAncer'.

You have to be patient with this CD to notice everything that goes into the craft of these songs (or opuses for that matter). This is undeniably one of the masterpieces of the 90's. Thanks to careless reviews, this CD has gone from its 5-star rating (where it should be) to 4 1/2... to the levels of Backstreet Boys and Michelle Branch. Tool's better than that.

A lot of the album is  instrumental, a segment from Didja Get Any Onya? ["Charles Ives"  is its proper name] was also used to great effect for The Blimp  [mousetrapreplica] on Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica [the best  album ever]. I have this on a 2 hour tape w/ the godawful Tinsletown  rebellion which just goes to show how good WRMF is. I played 'the Eric  Dolphy Memorial tribute' to a jazz fan friend & he said it doesn't  sound like Dolphy [he can be heard on Ornette Coleman's FREE JAZZ, probably  an influence on some of the skronkier parts of this album].

However, the video for "spit it out" it great, and some of the concert footage is good too.  Make no mistake, the Slipknot CD is terrific - but maybe the fact  that I'm a bit older than most of their fans makes it harder for me to sit  and listen to their "interview" drivel with a straight face.

I was wrong though, don't worry.  I love the song now.  "Repetition" is PROOF that David Bowie has a lot of talent, because not anyone can write a song like this and make it good.

+It also makes one scratch the head, because here even Elton can't rescue Bernie Taupin from his banality (or complete incoherence!).  The new sleeve notes are quite revealing, as Mr. Taupin is quoted as admitting that he used a method of taking cut-up words, throwing them in a hat, and writing down what he pulled out next.  He insists that the great poets and lyricists all did this--oh, right, Bernie.  Well, if they did, they had twice the karma you had, I'm afraid.  This album also marks the beginning of the sad intrusion (an utter travesty) of an overbearing production and orchestration team.  They couldn't leave well enough alone, after finding a quite natural, organic blend on Tumbleweed, a blend of tasteful embellishments, instrument combinations, and a BAND SOUND.  What the #*!? happened?  What was wrong with the sound of real guitar/bass/drums?  Were they competing with George Martin for a studio craft prize??
+But I hadn't moved past Ram, not really.  I just wasn't listening to it.  I hadn't forgotten it.  And when I dismissed some McCartney songs, it was never the ones on this album.  Because like a lot of musical snobs, I can still appreciate a great pop song.  And the ones on Ram are transcendent.  Yes, McCartney can be prone to sentimentalism, and his hooks can be just a bit too precious.  But those melodies!  That voice!  And, on Ram - the ideas!  The guy was just boundlessly creative during this period.  What exactly is going on at the beginning of Too Many People?  Was Ram On recorded as "raw" as it appears?  Is that a trumpet he's attempting to emulate vocally there?  And the themes -- McCartney did the pop suite as well as anybody ever, and some of his best are on this album.  Songs that are crammed full of "stuff."  Lots of ideas that would have supported great songs of their own, but instead are almost thrown away here, by a very generous artist.

What Bocelli has got, I can assure you that everyone, except someone wholly cut off from his or her feelings, will be able to appreciate.  Beyond an absolutely perfect voice, he embodies pure emotion as conveyed by sound.  You therefore need know nothing about opera to become a committed fan of his in a moment.  He also performs several stunning duets that you won't soon forget.  I can't believe the studio has this DVD out of release and hopefully it will correct this big mistake soon.
+7447	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I first discovered R. Kelly and his talent back in 1995; two years after 12 Play was released. I listened to 12 Play dozens of times and I just became overwhelmed by his skills and his "raunchy" lryics. Released in 1993, 12 Play was where R. Kelly became a true R&B superstar. It was a concept album that showcased his talents and versatility perfectly. The opening track, "Your Body's Callin'" is a classic. It's a smooth and sexy ballad with airy instrumentation and the amazing vocals. "Bump And Grind" is another song that will go down as his most popular tune. The song has memorable bouncy beats and throbbing lyrics, that make this an instant classic. "Homie, Lover, Friend", "Freak Dat Body", and "Back To The Hood Of Things"; all show off his rapping skills with the G-Funk inspired beats and the awesome hooks. "It Seems Like You're Ready" is a slow jam with R. setting the bar high on his romantic persona. "I Like The Crotch On You" is another one of Kelly's X-rated themed songs with the G-Funk inspired rhythms, but after half of the song ends, he tones it down by singing with other male vocalists about the "cons" who hates his music. He also plays the piano on there. "Summer Bunnies" is an upbeat song about the ladies. "For You" is a personal favorite of mine. It's a nice ballad with smoothed-out vocals, romantic spanish guitars, and the lushy strings. "Sadie" has R. doing a cover song of The Spinners' classic. He wonderfully dedicates the song to his mother. "Sex Me" is an 11-minute epic that has R. singing the most notorious lyrics of his career. It's a well-crafted ballad with the airy synthesizers, bumpy drumming, and spacey vocals. The title track, "12 Play" is what I consider to be the climax of the whole album. It's a lovely, slow jam with memorable hooks. Overall, all I can say about 12 Play is that it's Kelly's most raunchest and unified album, in every sense. His 2000 album, TP-2. Com, the sequel to this album, 12 Play, might've been more sexually explicit and thugged-out, but 12 Play just took him to a whole new level: bringing him to a mainstream audience and redefining his image. I really think it's a 1990's R&B classic and one of R. Kelly's best recordings. A

Kennedy is the perfect voice for Slash's ranging, hard-driving style. Paying homage to great sounds from the 60's, 70's, and yes, even the Guns n' Roses days, Slash tears through this album with a force I haven't heard in rock in a long, long time. Kennedy's range perfectly accents the riffs and pulls a classic sound into the future. I haven't stopped listening to this since I downloaded it. Favorite tracks include "Not for me", "You're a liar", the title track, and "No more Heroes". Really though, there is not a bad track on this. Well worth it!!!!!

If you've read reviews saying this is just like the stuff they did years ago, don't believe it. This deserved to win this year's Grammy for best album.  And the DTS and Dolby Digital versions on this long-delayed DVD superbly showcase the new tricks this old team has discovered during their long hiatus. One problem: The DVD-A mix is terrible - so bad in comparison that I was checking cable connections, etc.  So caution: Make sure that your player can handle the other formats (and that you can override your player's default to DVD-A) before you buy.
+Most of the times I get more pumped listening to the fast songs, although the slow ones are very good, too. The fast songs are fantastic, and the 5.1 sound is highlighted more on them as you hear different instruments come out of all five speakers - and they are distinct. On "Pretty Wonan," you hear the three guitar players on three different speakers. It's amazing.
+Guitarist Jimmy McCulloch also contributes a track: the drug-related story "Wino Junko". His voice, however, is not as strong as Denny's, but again the lyrics are outstanding, as they tell a story. Even drummer Joe English gets to sing a track, the McCartney composed, anxiety-driven "Must Do Something About It", another highlight of the album because of English's voice and Paul's lyrics about lonelines.
+If you have an ear for good music and great lyrics, you will love this CD, it's western Americana at its best...
+This album gets a bad rap nowadays for being too... radio-friendly.. which is not necessarily a bad thing. Every song on this album seems like it was tailor-made to be a single (with the exception of "Downbound Train").

I don't think I could have picked a better one to begin with. "Senor Blues" (written by Horace Silver...so there is a segue, after all), the CD, is a brilliant statement, both musically and lyrically. It ALMOST usurps "The Real Thing" as my favorite Taj of all time (I'm into Live...) From the first finger-pickin' honey drippin' from "Queen Bee", to the unbelievably tight and minor mellow, but tough title track (the organ, and the trumpet work, is stunning), to the gospel-drenched indictment of our brave new world, "Things Gettin' Crazy Up In Here", to the gem - the gorgeous "21st Century Gypsy..." (check out the drum fill as it's fading out), to the Otis tribute (HEY! another segue..)"Mr. Pitiful", well let's just say it's the tightest, most soulful, personal statement from this Master in a while.

+I was a bit surprised to see that most of the fans in the audience were teenage girls, often the focus of Pennebakers camera.  While the concert is a classic, some of the technical aspects of the film come up a bit short.  Most of the filming is done with handheld cameras in low light conditions, seemingly with an overabundance of red overtones.  Although I saw the concert film in high definition, it is only as good as the source material which in many respects is wanting.  The direction is actually pretty good.  Pennebaker and his crew are at their best with the use of close-ups, both of Bowie and occasionally on a weeping girl in the audience.

+  The rest of the album relies on more humorous elements to succeed.  "Mud Shark" finds Frank telling the tale of Vanilla Fudge and the infamous Edgewater hotel, wherein a groupie had some "fun" with a mudshark.  The trio of songs that follow tell the tale of rock stars, endowed with certain "gifts", trying to convince groupies to come back to their hotel.  Funny, at times, one is tempted to write these bits off as one time only listens, but the melodies and riffs that Frank includes in these lyric heavy tracks more than compensate for the sophomoric humor.  "Latex Solar Beef" in particular succeeds thanks to the heavy riff that surrounds the juvenile lyrics.  "Happy Together"- the Turtles hit single "with a bullet!"- and "Tears Began to Fall" close the album by showcasing the band's vocal abilities.

+After some more talking, the music moves onto "The Uncle Meat Variations", with more harpsichord and some munchkin voices. Hilarious and brilliant at the same time, this is my favorite composition of the album, which breaks into a guitar solo near the end and ends in an epic way. Very, very cool. "Electric Aunt Jemima" is more surrealism and high voices, and is a bit of a novelty song, admittedly, but has some trademark Zappa experimentation throughout. I once heard this song at a used vinyl place in Pittsburgh and it made my day. I absolutely love it. After some hilarious banter, "Prelude to King Kong" bursts from your speakers with some fast paced avant jazz from Ian Underwood on sax. After "God Bless America" at its most dissonant (more conceptual continuity), there is some scattered percussion, not unlike Gong's "Percolations" and moving onto "A Pound for a Brown", which is a faster-paced version of "Golden Arches" with some differences in instrumentation.

El Da Sensei and Tame One Drop some ill Metaphors while Lord Finesse and a host of other veteran producers hook up the beats. I love how the funky beats change right in the middle of the song this adds alot of variety to the tracks and keeps you coming back for more. The dope arangements are put together so masterfully on this CD that I have been listening to this album litterally for months And each time I listen I hear something new. The beats are some of the dopest you will ever hear and this is one of the few albums I have heard that could stand on beats alone with no lyrics. after listening to four mediocre Hiphop albums this was a nice suprise. El da sensei and Tame One are truly great Lyricysts their metaphors are not the best in the world but they are better thatn 98% of the rappers that attempt the classic CANIBUS metaphor formula.

A small set of strings, woodwinds, piano, this and more is the 'orchestra.'  The effect is one of obvious intimacy.  Crescendos and long, sustained notes are obviously foreshortened in this version, and diminuendos become even quieter.  The singers can produce a more natural sound since they do not have to force their way through the thicket of orchestral sound [since Mahler never heard this work performed, he never had a chance to adjust any of the balances], and the score itself provides the analytical approach to the structure and texture of the composition that a conducter would normally have to provide as a choice, thereby putting less emphasis on other aspects of the work.  Herreweghe leads some very musical playing with a nice sense of intensity just contained, and it is wonderful in a way to hear singers able to perform this piece at whisper level.  That built-in exaggeration means that the quieter movements gain greater benefit in this version that the louder ones, but that is to be expected.  The recording is transparent and beautiful.

I don't see how anyone can like this. The singer (or singers) have no excuse to BE singing. Don't believe me? Check out "Daddy Was a Rich Man". Or pretty much any of their songs. The lyrics are so ridiculous. I appreciate anti-political manifesto very much. The reason they are ridiculous is because they couldn't have made it more obvious that they don't know what they're talking about. All they do is whine. What's the matter, guys? Didn't mommy and daddy give you whatever you wanted? They wouldn't let you take the car out last night? What a joke! As is all punk rock with the exception of a select few who decide to rise above the punk cliche. You want angry music with actual TALENT? Listen to metal.

+7142	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is one of the sickest, and most appropriately titled, albums ever in any genre.  KRS-One lays down his manifesto immediately on "Blackman in Effect" and doesn't let up one ounce on gems such as "Beef" "Edutainment" House Niggas" "Ya Know the Rules" etc etc etc.  In Fact, the only tracks I don't like on this record are "Love's Gonna Getcha" and "30 Cops or More".  Every other track on this is slammin' in my humble opinion.  Way back in the day I would play this constantly along with "By Any Means" and "Ghetto Music"

+Next was Razor face which I didn't understand what the lyrics meant but it is extremely rare to hear an accordian in a EJ song such as that one. The title track was orcestra showcase with strings and kettle drums. Indian Sunset was a fantastic story part instrumental. Shame on fans who flamed that song because EJ made a great story teller. Holiday Inn seemed to venture back into Tumble Weed Connection. Rotton Peaches was great too especially the La La La ending. All the Nasties was a filler but at least it had a great choir and featured Nigle Olson on drums. Goodbye was a short song that was beautiful and emotional but if you recently broke up with someone don't listen to it. It might make you cry. So if you like EJ right before he was a glamor pop star then this will be a refreshing treat. You won't be dissapointed
+5173	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	A worthy successor to his debut recording "Ancient Dreams".  Patrick maintains the same aesthetic here. Dark Beauty prevails but the pieces differ from the last recording. "Rainmaker" opens with a strong almost tribal pulse and a sense of drama that is almost cinematic.  "Cape Perpetual" and "Dimension D" convey the same kind of vistas that pieces like "At First Light" and "Beauty in the Darkness" convey but diffrently.  There is a pulse and an usual use of space in these two pieces which are two highpoints in this recording.  This is like an impressionist painting in vermillions, blues, purples and other exotic shades successfully evoking the emotions in a way much different than the more conventional recordings do.  Patrick's use of keyboards, synthesizers and bass is warmer and more musical than a great many of his dark ambient contemporaries.  A very human approach, no automation here. There is a soul here.

At the time I was beginning to admire Bill Shatner, not for his acting ability (or lack thereof) but for his self deprecating attitude and smarminess. While I admit his "singing" and reading inflection are far from what most consider outstanding, I think Bill did things in his own style to set his art apart. Plus, at the time this was recorded it was quite popular for actors to explore the world of the recording studio as new technologies (like the 16-track recording system) were making the recording process easier and experimentation was widespread.

+The powerful lyrics combine wonderfully with this groundbreaking background.  Scott Weiland wrote his songs about his life battles he's faced.  These dark words create a deeper glimpse that listeners have awaited.  This heartbreaking theme maintains its powerful message with his perfromances.  He takes his talents to the maximum without screaming too much.  His vocals sound slightly smoother while maintaining the necessary rawness.  Such quality makes him sound much better than before.  Meanwhile, the other Velvet Revolver members perform their individual instruments wonderfully, namely Slash.  His unique guitar sound, which was always used with Guns & Roses, finds new life in rock mainstream.
+7. "Human Nature"  To me, probably the third least interesting video here.  I couldn't help but notice that Bollywood stole some of this video concept for their movie "Pyaar Tune Kya Kia".  They have a sexy song video called "Kambakth Ishq" starring Urmila Matondkar and Fardeen Khan.  Look for this song video (maybe on "You Tube" and you'll see what I mean).

+On vinyl, the album makes perfect sense. It flows well, and despite a couple of Baker stinkers, the studio album was great, and the live stuff was, well, beyond description. On CD, however, WOF loses its pacing. The second CD is only 44:22, and extra live tracks should have been included. I know that the Atlantic Tape Vault burned in 1975, but if an alternate version of "NSU" was unearthed for the TWTD box set in '97, then there certainly should be more live tracks sitting around somewhere. Otherwise, though, the music on the live CD is, of course, fantastic. The versions of "Crossroads" and "Spoonful" certainly make up 20:04 of some of the finest blues music ever made.

Oddly, my favorite song is the opener, I Can Fly. Some people feel it's the weakest,  but I don't; perhaps this is due to my prog proclivities, as I Can Fly is  the most "prog" song on the album.  Obviously, if Steve Walsh's  "mature" voice irks you, then this album will be hard to listen  to.  However, I find his voice here to be really shining, using its ragged  edges to good effect.  David Ragsdale, violinist/guitarist, co-wrote some  of the tunes with Walsh, and Rags gets the MVP here for his playing, fluid  and perfect throughout.  Walsh wrote the bulk of the songs, and they're  some of the best ever. The weakest song, quite tellingly, IMHO, is Cold  Grey Morning, a "token" contribution from Kerry Livgren, weak in  conception but given at least *some* life by the band's arrangement and  their excellent long-time producer's input (his name escapes me, shame on  me!)....

The real value of this disk is the complete band and at a point where there skills are starting to flourish. Perhaps tyhe best concert footage of the group is the Red Rocks Concert. But that is not really an indication to me as to what this band was about and their real skill. To me this concert shows the real Moody Blues, one of a group that really was something greater than the sum of its parts. Having seen the Moody Blues in Toronto at Maple Leaf Gardens. They are not the same group without Mike Pinder and his songs and keyboard playing and vocals. Even this concert does not really show them at their full potential and greatness. What is most interesting is the honest comments particularly of Justin Hayward and particularly by Graham Edge about their misguided views about being able to change the world and the real coruption that became part of the music business. However that certainly does not take away from the obvious talent that made the Moody Blues what they were. The music they created as a unit is some the best anywhere, anytime.

However, obstacles stood in his way during his life. He grew up impoverished, and although he wanted to enroll as a student at the Moscow Conservatory of Music, he could not afford it. Pyotr Tchaikovsky, who sympathized with Kalinnikov, recommended him for a conducting position at the Opera Theater in Moscow. Kalinnikov was able to achieve an education and thereafter, began to compose in earnest, completing two symphonies, incidental music to the play "Tsar Boris", miscellaneous orchestral scores such as a Suite, overtures, and intermezzi, as well as works for piano, chamber, and voice. However, Kalinnikov fell sickened by tuberculosis and retired in Crimea. He never recovered and passed on just two days before his 35th birthday. By the time of his death, Kalinnikov was largely forgotten and his scores, for the most part, remained unpublished. That problem was resolved eventually by Pyotr Jurgensen, thanks to Sergei Rachmaninovs tireless yet selfless crusade.
+My issue with this album is that a couple songs don't get anywhere. The only tune I truly dislike (which translates to "hate with a passion") is 50/50 - vocalist Ricky Lancelotti ruins the song for me, because it's a mildly funny attack at budding pop stars otherwise. Zomby Woof is really a stupid song that gets nowhere, but it's not bad or anything: same goes for the infamous Dinah-Moe Humm, which has frankly offensive sexist lyrics that are not funny at ALL. But it's got a decent melody. And stupid sexist lyrics. The two cancel each other out, and we're left with a middling song. Zappa's band is, as always, dynamite, and the best lyrics here are a real trip, so while this isn't as great as the first few albums, it's a nice place to go when you've heard all of htem a million times over.

And though the production may not be up to George Martin standards, it's quite adequate with the possible exception of Linda's sometimes off-kilter harmonies. That being said, I think it's one of the album's charms that it sounds homemade at times.

In 1993, Phife, Tip, and Shaheed came back with a more mature, artistic manner and it's beautiful. If one word describes this album, it's consistent. It's a straight begin to end listen like any tribe album. Although it's similar on paper to "The Low End Theory", it comes out sounding different. The beats are more centered around piano samples than bass and horns, and the rhymes are more focused; they sound like they're two years older. Musically, this is very upbeat and ambitious, and some of the best beats of '93 are to be found here. It's beautiful. The beats and lyrics never slack off. I also love the whole Midnight Marauder Tour Guide theme, with the interludes. This is hip hop at it's best.

+Everybody has heard "Hotel California" so many times that they forget what an incredible musical achievement it actually is - but just listen to Don Felder's 16-bar solo immediately after the last verse. That has to be one of the greatest rock guitar solos ever committed to tape.
+After playing some of their hits, the group launches into Tommy.  The group had given a splendid performance up to this point, but now they really start to shine.  Roger's voice is strong and confident, with John's fingers effortlessly flying up and down the neck of his bass guitar.  Keith Moon is drumming like a man possessed, which he very well may have been, and Townshend jumps around the stage like a whirling dervish.  From the first notes of Overture to the last chorus of See Me Feel Me, the guys did a fabulous job.  (Though it is interesting to note that they changed the order of the songs in Tommy slightly.  I assume that the order was not rearranged in the editing room since the same order appears on the CD.)
+Badfinger should have had a long, successful and prosperous career. They certainly had the talent, and they got the early breaks they needed: They were signed to Apple Records, and their first big hit, "Come And Get It," was written especially for them by Paul McCartney. Unfortunately, the young and (relatively) naive band members made some bad decisions along the way, their worst being putting their trust in a manager whose ethics would have made a weasel look good by comparison:  He chewed them up, spit them out and vanished in the night with their hard-earned money, but not before sabotaging Badfinger's relationship with two different record labels. The band's downward spiral couldn't have been more swift, or the end results more tragic. The story of Badfinger is one you're not likely to forget.
+Angus climbs up Brian's shoulder, that's for sure, but he could be climbing upona wall, it would have the same effect, so "cold" seems the relationship between both of them on the stage...
+The behind  the scenes clips were quite neat.  Inserted in between various tracks, it  shows us the goings on of the band members behind the scenes...at least a  little bit anyhow.

+Often the concept is exploited to explain away a universe of expression so self-absorbed that it becomes reminiscent of the type of insanity that creates its own language entirely incommunicable to others. The artist in the self-imposed straitjacket deliberately babbles in an incomprehensible 'language' to obscure communication. A universe of one certainly provides a sense of being elite.

+592	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	As the quintessential emblem and chronicler of White American male working class angst, Bruce Springsteen well deserves the crown of "The Boss."  Like much of Springsteen's output, "Born in the USA" is deceptively cheerful, slammin' rock and roll, and even patriotic, when in fact it is by turns deeply soulful, perceptive, ironic and cynical.  For example, several songs like the title cut and "Glory Days" (both arena rock anthems) and "My Hometown" (a reverential ballad that ponders the blessings [or curses] of provincialism), turn Ronald Reagan's carefully-scripted "Morning in America" optimism on its head.  The erotic pump of dance tunes like "Dancing in the Dark," "I'm Going Down" and ballads such as "I'm On Fire" belie the disillusion and bleakness hovering just beneath the bouyantly sunny surfaces.  In short, Springsteen's role as self-proclaimed working (every) man is so deftly convincing because, like all the greatest artists, he wrote and sang what he lived.  But none of this would really matter so much if Springsteen wasn't such an amazingly gifted writer and an emotionally compelling guitarist and singer.  "Born in the USA" contains no throwaway tracks.  As such, this album surely ranks as one of the top five albums in the 1980's (releases that include Micheal Jackson's "Thriller" and Tina Turner's "Private Dancer") and remains essential to any Bruce Springsteen collection.

+There are two brilliant mistakes on the album--two song-suites that hint at a more classical/pop amalgam Elton would try years later.  Ambitiously-honed songcraft that no one could equal is on display in "Indian Sunset" and "All The Nasties".  BUT, it all falls down on the plywood of these stupid lyrics!  The first song's lyrics attempt to send up the American Native on a third-grade level, much like the send-up of the Civil War on Tumbleweed's "My Father's Gun", but not as offensively.  Then, on "All The Nasties" we get, what?  A slap at the critics?  It's about as weak a rebuke as saying, "You guys are right."  A real missed opportunity for music and lyrics.  But Elton stirs us with his imagination.  Speaking of which, can you imagine what Elton would have made here with George Martin and Geoff Emerick at the boards?

None of the self-absorbed song lengths or almost too uptight feel of those records can be heard here. No, on Opiate we get just straight ahead great rock with some budding talented musicianship. The songs feel so much more free form with out all the anal retention that comes from listening to Lateralus(one the main reason I don't listen to that album that much). And even more uncharacteristic of their later records, Tool even shows a sense of humor(the opening to the two live tracks not to mention the hidden track at the end of Opiate).

Even though it never happened, I'm sure we all know it would have sounded like everything else Dusty sang...unique, stunning and as close to perfection as music can get. Let's hope there's more where these great forgotten tracks came from...

The first thing you may notice is that the story is unnarrated and told via interview footage in the style of the Beatles Anthology.  However, seeing as how there is not an endless supply of photographs & video footage of Badfinger like there is for the Beatles, this creates a problem of seeing the same pictures a few too many times throughout the video.  (For instance, a black & white photograph of evil manager Stan Polley is shown at every mention of his name, which gets a little irritating.)  The only other real problem is that, because of the lack of narration, you pretty much have to already know the basic gist of Badfinger's story to know what's going on.

Alison plays the fiddle on all tracks where one is used, but there are two instrumentals, both covers (Tony Trischka's Forgotten pictures and the traditional Dusty Miller) that demonstrate Alison's skills as a fiddler very clearly. The remaining songs are only originals, mostly from the pen of John Pennell.

+5939	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album, more than any other 60s work, sent more boys out to buy  electric guitars with the hopes of becoming rock stars than anything before  or since. And for good reason. The live recordings on this album gave us a  mountainslide of brilliant no-holds-barred improv and a fiery dynamism that  was the trademark of few bands of the time. It might not have been  Clapton's best work -- for me that was the Bluesbreakers album with Mayall  -- but it was near-genius nonetheless. Much has been said about this  version of Crossroads and you'd better believe it all. Clapton's two solos  on that son, one more incendiary than the other, rate as some of the most  memorable guitar-playing of any rock era. The studio stuff is an added joy  and even Baker's Pressed Rat isn't without its self-deprecating humor.  Felix Pappalardi earns extra kudos for outstanding studio accompaniment and  production. The original cover, black on silver ink, was a landmark of 60s  album design. Listen to the audience on the live tracks. Clearly these  people were there to soak in the brilliance of the music they were  experiencing. You can too.

+Though this is a great album it is sad that "Born in the U.S.A" became the song to associate to Bruce in a 'Trivial Pursuit' way.  This album moves closer to raw rock and roll with the excision of brass instruments, the saxaphone and the Bruce's high pitched piano playing.  Most of the songs only have echoing guitars and a snare drum.  Instead Bruce adds synthesizers consistent with the 80's wave.  Thankfully this addition will pave the way for another Bruce style with it's debut in the album "Tunnel of Love" and becoming famous with "Streets of Philadelphia."  Don't let the synthesisters influence you, though, overall these really are good songs.

The album includes, in addition to the story of an angel sent by G-d to bring out the good in the holiday season, a story of a father and daughter who have not seen each other in years, and they miss each other terribly, until the angel, finding the daughter outside a bar, asks the bartender to come up with the cash so that she can afford to go home. In the end, they are reunited on Christmas Day. Even though I don't celebrate Christmas and feel it's more important to watch what I eat than to go to a lot of holiday parties, I'm still deeply moved by this album, and I give it 5 stars, even though it reminds me of fattening treats and other holiday stressors.

+ tool, for those of you not familiar with their work, are a band of musicians. this translates into alot of progressions, musically. they start quiet, build loud and before its over they have changed moods many times. i find they use major instead of minor chords to give it a different feel. i, particularly, enjoy the guitar sound on this record as well as lateralus. it has more bite than earlier works. it is music with an edge. the drums are not your simple bass and snare combination. instead, you get complex beats using toms and off beats and odd timings to off set the music and jazz it up a little. i really think this is where they shine (all great bands, in my opinion, are great because they have a great drummer. tool are no exception) tool really stand apart from the pack.

One thing is that when an album gets that many reviews, you know it's a special album.  I would like to say that I'm not your normal hard rock fan.  I have albums by bands like Blink 182, the Goo Goo Dolls, techno stuff like Moby, Fatboy Slim, and the Chemical Brothers, and even stuff by Celine Dion and the Bee Gees.  However, this is great music--plain and simple.  Adam Jones may be the best guitar player that I have ever heard and Maynard James Keenan is not a great singer but he is an unforgettable one.  The bass player and drummer are also excellent.  My favorite tracks are Eulogy, the title track (which is spelled differently than what is on the side of the CD), and of course, Stinkfist, for which some bizarre reason, MTV retitled Track #1 (it had a very scary video, to say the least).  I didn't care for the interludes and some of the songs tended to go on a little too long.  However, these are just minor things and even the tracks that I did not name specifically are still good.  This really is an album that gets better and better after each listen.  If you don't have this album, you owe to it yourself to buy an album that many have hailed as one of the best of the '90's.

+Band 9: Giuseppe di Stefano -1958 (3:40) - "Vesti la giubba". This performance is a real surprise. One expects beautiful singing from di Stefano, but here he instilled the old war horse with a great deal of feeling. To quote Aldous Huxley (speaking of a different tenor): "[This is] a piece, which at ordinary times, I would go out of my way to avoid hearing...[but here] Leoncavallo's throaty vulgarity seemed not only refined and sincere, but even beautiful, positively noble." Di Stefano "nailed it."

This album is definitely a "return to roots" album, in a way, after releasing "Trust", "Punch The Clock", and "Goodbye Cruel World", all of which seemed kinda polished and "contemporary" (meaning very 80s sounding). This is Elvis with his Fender Telecaster and the Attractions playing bitter, angry rock and roll.

+Ignoring PIN-UPS, which we always regarded as a bit of a detour in the Bowie story, DIAMOND DOGS was Bowie's first post-Ronson LP. For those of us who saw Bowie perform 'Starman' etc on 'Top of the Pops' and the 'Whistle Test', Mick Ronson appeared to be an integral part of Bowie's life -- not quite Lennon and McCartney, but something close. Without Ronson to duet with on many a chorus, Bowie's stage act (if nothing else) seemed vulnerable. There were Ronson fans at school who almost willed Bowie to fail without Ronson.

The last album is more like a Slash & friends album. With there being so many different singers on the album the music changed from song to song to fit with what the singers could do. It gave a feel like you were listening to a rock station with so many great singers on it that are being played on rock radio right now. This is a different beast. This is a band album and this is like a new Slash band. The album is very good. Slash is really playing great. He has a few years of touring back under his belt and it shows that he is not taking breaks and is back in the flow of playing everyday. Best guitar work & tone Slash has had since the Use your illusion albums. Great cd as a band album. It's better then Velvet Revoler was in every way. The bonus tracks are even great songs.

Some albums like Strypers "To Hell With The Devil" Whitecross "In The Kingdom" and Petra "Beyond Belief" should always be in print. After awhile there develops a secondary market on ebay(and other places) where these cd become to expensive to buy. Bands like Bloodgood,Holy Soldier,Barren Cross, etc have cd's that are going to cost you up to $50.00 or more!! My cds were stolen some time ago and looking to buy them back would cost several hundred dollars at least. The Mass "Voices In The Night" cd(produced by Michael Sweet of Stryper) is going for a buy it now price of $50.00...Way to much for me to just get a copy to listen to.

The 2 "bonus" tracks are songs that feel like they should be on the regular album anyway, and with them included the album clocks in at 61:27 (an hour is basically my ideal time a record should last). The "behind the scenes" DVD (which has a close up of the angel/demon/guitar cover art on the disc - it looks SWEET!) is only about half an hour long, but being a musician myself, I can't help but love it. Slash & the guys talk about various aspects of the record and working as a band (only a few songs are discussed at any length), but the best part is watching them play/practice, which is done throughout the 30 or so minutes. While watching Slash play a concert is incredible, watching him rehearse is equally awesome. It just is.

+Years ago, my mother and I were talking nearly all night long during one of those rare times, when we decided to turn on the TV. On one of the cable channels (I can't remember which) showed "He Touched Me" and we ended up watching the whole program. During the commercial breaks, they would advertise on how you can buy the DVD to own. At the time, my mother didn't like buying things for herself because Christmas was coming and I knew she so very much wanted to get it. At that point, my mind started working on how I would surprise her for Christmas in a creative way. During the Christmas season, I took a chance and went to a store and asked if they had "He Touched Me". As luck would have it, they did and ended up buying the last one. I hid the gift inside another gift, so when she opened the gift I bought her when she wanted to use it, it would appear during one of her private times. Luckily I was there when she discovered it and she couldn't stop crying. That in itself was worth all of the money I spent, and more. She still watches it to this day when she feels a little down or wants something "positive" to watch from the negative we hear so much of these days.

+Her showmanship supreme is introduced by THE original, earth-shaking Overture from Carnegie Hall, which will put you in the mood to start clapping and shouting her name even from an easy chair in your living room. With "JUDY" in slowly illuminating lights as a background, she delivers a powerhouse version of "Just In Time" and then swings into her wonderful rendition of "When You're Smiling." "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" is sung more poignantly than ever before, and she delivers the most heartbreaking version of "The Man That Got Away" you will ever hear. It will take your breath away and make your spine tingle, and she does it in a simple cocktail bar setting, very restrained, no arms flying everywhere, just pure raw emotion in her voice.

+6413	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	An anything goes attitude is the defining feature of Elton John's forth studio album, Madman Across the Water. A folk song about a hotel chain. A narrative about an Iroquois warrior. An eight-minute rock epic about who-knows-what. The next track could be anything. Of coarse such an approach means at least a few missteps, (The aforementioned "Indian Sunset," which references tomahawks and Geranimo, is just ridiculous), but ultimately John and lyricist, Bernie Tauplin, create some compelling music. Take "Levon," a character sketch of a cold-hearted business-man and his dreamer son, Jesus (named so because Levon "liked the sound") for example. With its pungent imagery, winding violins and passionate vocals, it's an outstanding rock epic if there ever was one. The album's best track, though, is its most normal, "Tiny Dancer," which was revived in 1999 by Cameron Crowe's outstanding, rock and roll-themed coming-of-age film, Almost Famous. The ballad, about a free-spirited groupie, is the John/Tauplin team at its most charmingly amorous and effortlessly gorgeous. More common, though, are idiosyncratic moments like "All the Nasties," in which an urbanite assets his manhood in front of a towering choir and "Goodbye," in which a poet, who feeds lambs wine that flows from his hands (Yeah, you read that right) throws a fit. Elaborate, individualistic and unpredictable, all to an extreme, there are few albums quite like Madman Across the Water and of them, very few as pleasing.
+Some of the most well-known songs from this album include "Smooth" with Rob Thomas, "Maria, Maria," with Wyclef Jean, and "Corazon Espinado," with Mana.  For me, "Smooth" was great to hear, the first several times on the radio, but I think it was [a bit] played out.  Rob Thomas has strong vocals but they don't blend well with Santana.  Thomas sounds almost too "trendy," here.  The beauty of Santana is that he is timeless and he could appear on any album, from probably any time, and his scorchingly hot guitar licks would still ignite your speakers, and that is probably why this musical coupling didn't work so well.  Whereas, "Maria, Maria" succeeds in sounding street and like Santana is channeling the hauntedness of the barrio with Wyclef's tight production (hip hop meets latin soul).  Great!  "Corazon Espinado" is right on the mark.  Mexican rock band Mana sounds wonderful with Santana, and their vocals and back-up compliment him beautifully.  If I was really going to analyze every track on this album, it would take all day for you to even get through this review!  So, I will stop right now and just say that SUPERNATURAL is [overall] a very compelling project, and when it's good, it's great.  If there are some songs you don't like, just skip them, because there really is something here for everyone.
+That said, it is a great, great album, full of catchy tunes and fine, multi-layered musicianship.  There is NOT a bad song on the album.  A bit "poppier" than the previous, but not sugary.  Bittan can play those keyboards, Max and Garry are a solid, solid rhythm section.  As usual on Bruce's studio offerings, guitars are not featured much.  A multi multi platinum classic, it may be Bruce's best.

+The album is considerably lighter and somewhat less complex than his predecessors, one might even say a trifle monotonous, but it is probably the most consistent one and it has a compelling drive. Ironically, for those guys who bark the wrong tree constantly whining that the Martin-era was the most un-Sabbath one, there are here songs ("Psychophobia", "Virtual Death", "Evil Eye", the last one with first solo played by Eddie van Halen, reportedly) that are more reminiscent of the original Sabbath with Ozzy, rather than to anything that came later with Dio. On the other hand, there are few fine ballads ("Cross of Thorns", "Dying for Love") and several dazzling tracks ("I Witness", "Immaculate Deception", "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle") that are highly original for the Martin-era and owe nothing to the old times.
+
+"Those Were The Days" is another great song, but "Pressed Rat And Warthog" is utterly stupid and the guitar solo on "Politician" just doesn't go anywhere.  And "Deserted Cities Of The Heart" is pretty much boring.

+The closing title track is without a doubt the greatest piece of white noise/feedback ever heard! After the smooth sounding "orange county lumber truck", the title track suddenly throws the listener into a frightful shock. Seriously, this track is very scary to listen to even on its own.

This was a wonderful purchase and a great keepsake collection of their early music!

+
+Why Gerry Rafferty didn't become a superstar is kind of a mystery to me, but this album will always stand out as one of the very best rock albums recorded.  A desert island disc for sure.
+The box set itself is also very nice.  It features a  wonderful sketch of Yoko on the inner box and samples of sheet music from  "Walking On Thin Ice", Yoko's biggest hit to date.  The liner  notes, most written by Yoko herself, gives the listener/reader a chance to  see into what was going on during the times of the recording sessions.  The  Onobook features many photos of Yoko, John and Sean plus complete lyrics to  all songs (for those of us who love to sing along).  This is a MUST for  Yoko fans (even if you have the original LPs or the reissued CDs) if just  for the previously unissued cuts alone.  Don't miss it!!
+All in all, an ambitious album filled with great songs.
+The other compilation, from Collectables, focuses only on the 12 tracks of the first one mentioned above and, with the price difference being negligible, this is by far your best bet since the sound is not only as good as the Collectables release, but the background notes more detailed.
+Oh and maybe this is just me, but isn't it  nice, to hear a guitar solo that actually is hard to play? Listen to Carlos  rip it up in "Smooth". The guy's a freekin' virtuoso! I air guitar  along with him! Just brilliant.
+
+"Pompeii," a Pink Floyd concert film released 22 years before the "Pulse" performance, is a better overall experience than "Pulse."  For that matter, so is David Gilmour's DVD. So is Roger Waters' DVD. Sure, Pink Floyd is great, and the performance of Dark Side of the Moon live is well worth the purchase price of "Pulse." But compared to other Floyd material available on DVD, it is incredibly mediocre, and that is just a shame. I can recommend this DVD, but only if your expectations are not too high. Otherwise, you will be disappointed.
+Bottom line I would much rather listen to Stevie's music during this time period than what is on the radio today.  I don't think to many of the people in the crowd left disappointed.  Take a trip down memory lane and enjoy it drugged or not the music is good.

Full of exciting music, this soundtrack will please all. In 1995, Raiders of the  Lost Ark was re- issued. The 1995 version has seven new tracks that were  never in the original version, while other tracks carry previously  unreleased material. The most famous of the soundtrack, "The Raiders  March", is an exciting piece full of brass intruments. Is this  soundtrack worth buying? Well, I was pleased with it, and it will probably  please you! Containing 18 tracks, all of them worth listening to, it is  worth the money. This soundtrack is probably one of John William's best  scores, so if your looking for a great John William's classic, this is for  you! Most of the music in Raiders of the Lost Ark is tense, while their are  other tracks that are more on the quiet side. If you are into tense music,  this CD fits that category just fine.  Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of  three similar soundtracks in the "Indiana Jones" series. Other  scores in this series include "Indiana Jones and the last  Crusade" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". Raiders  of the Lost Ark and "the temple of Doom" are probably the best of  the series. This series is great to collect, especially if John Williams is  your favorite.

+Frustrated by the poor sound quality of bootleg copies being sold, and further disappointed by the confining effects of digital sound reproduction when the album was issued on Compact Disc; Jennifer wanted to re-release the album in a form that re-created the original, outrageous, sonics found on the original release. So, to mark the 20th anniversary, Jennifer re-mastered the recordings. She actually "un-mastered" them to be more precise. Bypassing all mixing boards and simply sending the music from the original analog master tapes directly to disc. She clearly loves this music. In fact, She kept the original master tapes in a closet in her home. They were found to be in better shape than the copies that were professionally archived!

Today I heard his new album "The Rising" with the E Street Band after an 18 year hiatus and my skin remembered what it was like to listen to the Boss. Those that do not regularly listen to this music will not appreciate this but the music is more than just Rock, all the songs have a story to tell. They are about the out-of-luck lover ("I'm going down"), the friend ("Bobby Jean"), the Vet ("Born in the USA"), the unemployed ("Downbound Train").

Third Day change up their sound, trading their southern-rock-based stylings for something that sounds like it could be out of Seattle.  Don't get me wrong, though; this isn't necessarily a bad thing.  These guys know how to rock out.  Tracks like "Peace" and "You Make Me Mad" got me slapping my steering wheel along with the beat.  As much of a departure as this one is, though, it's nice to hear these guys haven't lost their roots.  The gospel-flavored stomp "Have Mercy" will make you say "Now THAT'S the Third Day I know and love!"  They haven't forgotten how to get their praise on, either; "My Hope Is You" is evidence enough of that.  This album was and still is a smash, and though some Third Day fans might frown upon the change, I think that the more you listen, the more it'll grow on you.  Sometimes change can be a good thing. (Besides, it's not like it was permanent.)
+5303	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Changing Faces' recording career was off to a good start with this self-titled debut album. The name Changing Faces alluded to changing trends in 1990s R&B, which was moving away from new jack swing and toward a softer type of medium-tempo groove. In fact, pretty much everything on this CD, favors a medium tempo sound-- the New York duo doesn't overwhelm the listener with either slow ballads or fast material. Cassandra Lucas and Charisse Rose, collectively Changing Faces, are strong singers -- and while slow jams like "Thoughts of You," "Movin' On," and "Come Closer" aren't mind-blowing, they're pleasant enough. Not surprisingly, "Foolin' Around" and "Stroke You Up" (both written and produced by R. Kelly) became major hits.

This trio forms the real core of this album stands out like Everest in the middle of the tall Himalayas.

If you've seen a Fellini film, you see where Don Henley's head is at here.

He always paid loving tribute to his idols & mentors, most notably Albert King, Jimi Hendrix & Lonnie Mack; on this video, Vaughan acknowledges Hendrix in an electrifying performance of "Third Stone From The Sun", and Mack is recalled on "Wham!", where Vaughan tells the audience that this was the first record he ever bought.

+6661	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The Eagles took 18 months between their fourth and fifth albums, reportedly spending eight months in the studio recording Hotel California. The album was also their first to be made without Bernie Leadon, who had given the band much of its country flavor, and with rock guitarist Joe Walsh. As a result, the album marks a major leap for the Eagles from their earlier work, as well as a stylistic shift toward mainstream rock. An even more important aspect, however, is the emergence of Don Henley as the band's dominant voice, both as a singer and a lyricist. On the six songs to which he contributes, Henley sketches a thematic statement that begins by using California as a metaphor for a dark, surreal world of dissipation; comments on the ephemeral nature of success and the attraction of excess; branches out into romantic disappointment; and finally sketches a broad, pessimistic history of America that borders on nihilism. Of course, the lyrics kick in some time after one has appreciated the album's music, which marks a peak in the Eagles' playing. Early on, the group couldn't rock convincingly, but the rhythm section of Henley and Meisner has finally solidified, and the electric guitar work of Don Felder and Joe Walsh has arena-rock heft. In the early part of their career, the Eagles never seemed to get a sound big enough for their ambitions; after changes in producer and personnel, as well as a noticeable growth in creativity, Hotel California unveiled what seemed almost like a whole new band. It was a band that could be bombastic, but also one that made music worthy of the later tag of "classic rock," music appropriate for the arenas and stadiums the band was playing. The result was the Eagles' biggest-selling regular album release, and one of the most successful rock albums ever.

The Troubadour is a magical place, and just considering the wealth of talent and musical genius that went before on this stage made the entire experience almost surreal.

Their weird, layered tales of sound and fury project the feeling of being allowed a glimpse into another world, another culture, a warped version of our own with people that operate under alien logic and a completely different perception. This is a world where everything is normal to the inhabitants but foreign and nearly incomprehensible to an external eavesdropper - sort of like a shipwrecked Englishman trying to comprehend the language and rituals of the tribesmen on the south pacific island he's been stranded on.

+I actually own the album featuring bonus tracks, and you really should try and find that more complete recording.  It's not clear to me if this CD includes Sammy's introduction and closing, but it obviously (if the track listing is accurate) does not include Sammy's incredible performance of Birth of the Blues - that's a Sammy staple, for goodness' sake, and he was on fire when he performed that song on this very special night.  Another point I would make is that there are gaps in between most of the tracks, so I'm not sure whether or not the songs are presented in the order Sammy performed them, nor can I keep myself from wondering what other musical magic was made that night that was not released for posterity.

CROSS OF THORNS is a very good religious ballad,all the lyrics was written by Tony Martin And G//Z/R Butler and they have find a very good concept for this record. PSYCHOPHOBIA,very good upbeat song! VIRTUAL DEATH (Available on the Greatest Hits compilation THE SABBATH STONES,and I think it is a bad choice,for me,the 2 best songs of this album is Dying For Love And Evil Eye(Good choice,this one,co-written with Eddie Van Halen is very good),but Virtual Death is a very good satanic heavy song. IMMACULATE DECEPTION is heavy and tight. DYING FOR LOVE is the best ballad of Black Sabbath since the She's Gone song of the Technical Ecstasy '76 album. After that, a very goods song,BACK TO EDEN and THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE(I've seen the video of this last and it's very good!).CARDINAL SIN is very good.(The bells at the beginning make a great sound).EVIL EYE is the best heavy song of the album.(Geezer Butler does a very good bass solo on this one).The bonus track WHAT'S THE USE is fast and heavy and I like it. I give 5 stars to this record because it's a very good album by a good lineup of Black Sabbath. Tony Iommi,guitar is kick...and he his the real soul of Black Sabbath. Geezer Butler is the fawless bassist of Sabbath. Bobby Rondinelli was not the Cozy Powell god of drums,but he does very good. Tony Martin,for me the best front man of Black Sabbath.(Each person have their opinions,but before to say;Sabbath...without Ozzy,just listen only one album with Tony Martin on vocals and you will change your mind,don't think before listening).Ending,go to buy this record,you won't regret it,but he don't surpass the masterpiece TYR or Headless Cross,but it's very good!

In this album, the song MODERNE MAN/SATISFY YOUR LUST is a one song. In NEW YORK LONDON PARIS MUNICH it is two songs...  SATISFY YOUR LUST is X-RATED. In a lot of ways Robin Scott is Germany's  answer to the All-American B-52's. Most people think the B-52's and M are  pretty mindless. But I beg to differ. If you have a few bucks to spare  treat yourself to POPMUZIK. Consider it a taste of the late 70's. A time of  fun, carelessness and hedonism like you wouldn't believe!

Once you get past the first cut, Blossom Dearie's "Dusty Springfield", it's all Dusty at her finest.  And, it's not just all Dusty's hits.  Scattered throughout are cuts of some beautiful "cover" version of other singer's material.  These songs, given the "Dustified" touch take on a whole new meaning.  Peter Allen's "Quiet Please There's A Lady Onstage" sung live at the Royal Albert Hall realises a new life with a poignancy which only a mature female singer of Dusty's calibre could bring to the song.

+One word for this record : Classic.
+and especially the most recent "100 MILES or MORE. I don't mean to be too much of an "audiophile snob" (as my girlfriend calls me). It seems to me that the issue of spending $40-65 dollars on these products when the same music can be had on a used disc for 5 dollars (or 50 cents in someones yard sell) is an issue for us audiophile snobs-an issue of format and vinyl vs. digital comparison. The live album is about as good a recording as concert hall recordings get but still nothing like a top notch studio recording. Neither of these LP's show the full potential what this system could really due for Alison's voice which would probably be beyond Hubble telescope range  with 100 MILES or MORE-as good a studio recording as it gets. As much as I  am cherishing these LP's and consider them worthy of the title of the reviews-I can't help moping a little about that. The problems I mentioned with recording level in the other review are even more severe here. There seems to also be excessive fade between the soft and loud parts of the song on "DEEPER THAN CRYING' one of my favorites-in particular. Maybe they were working out the bugs on this new mastering system.

Cliff by far is or was not the greatest bassist ever, his work on all metallica albums in the 80's wasn't produced that great, even though it had its kick ass moments with Anesthesia, for whom the bell tolls, and Orion.  Steve Harris of Iron Maiden without a doubt is the greatest bassist ever if it came about.  Your fingers don't get as fast as his on a 4 string ol fender.  Still a terrific show and cliff was still an excellent bassist, extremely overrated now, but was still great.
+Unabashedly lighthearted, this album is just plain fun to listen to.  The sound is  pretty textured, so repeated listening doesn't get old.  I seem to notice  new things every time I hear it.
+There are fifteen tracks on the album, but not all of them are songs per se. Some of the pieces have been put on the disc to enhance the unity, such as the static hissing of "Useful Idiot"; the weird piano track "Message to Harry Manback", where an Italian-accented immigrant who has allegedly been deported from the country relays a hateful message about the American government; the slightly goofy analog synths of "Intermission"; or the hysterically crying babies with sickening guitar feedback of "Cesaro Summability" are all pieces under the two-minute mark. The most interesting one of them all, however, has got to be track ten, "Die Eier Von Satan", which means "The Eggs of Satan". It begins with chunky bass and industrial beats, and the sound is incredibly huge. All of a sudden a guy with a strong East German accent begins to give the recipe for something which I fail to understand and after listing all the necessary ingredients he just says something along the lines of "Now put all these things and bake it in 200 degrees, just without the eggs of satan". I know it sounds weird, and it really is, but it contributes immensely to the band's artistic expression.

It keeps up this high level throughout the rest of the CD. The title track is a rocking jazz number unlike anything they have done before. "Janey Runaway" is a song about an old pervert with a teenage runaway: perfect. "You be the show girl, I'll be Sinatra."  The song "Almost Gothic" is just beautiful smooth jazz rock.

We see Judy Garland in the autumn of her years still with the gun-ho spirit she always possessed and visibly passed on to  her children: daughter Liza performs a delightfully vivacious  song-and-dance duo with Tracy Everett to "Steam Heat", daughter  Lorna sings a spirited "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town", and son  Joey sits on a piano and wistfully sings "Where Is Love?". To add  to the magical night of entertainment at "the Garland house" Judy  invites some friends over to help celebrate the holidays: Jack Jones, who  sings with her and Liza a medley of wonderful old Christmas tunes, and  solo, a charming rendition of "Lollipops and Roses". Mel Torme  sits next to her on a piano bench and croons "The Christmas  Song". But the most touching drop of pure magic comes at the end of  the show, Judy sitting on a couch, cuddling her beloved youngest children,  kissing and hugging them, singing "Over the Rainbow" with all the  hope and love any woman could ever have. Buy this one, it's absolutely  perfect for Christmas. It's charming, sentimental, and always entertaining.

The extras from the '80s CDs of 'Wild Life' and 'Red Rose Speedway' are padding here, so true fans know right then and there that this is an unauthorised remaster.  If you like this kind of release like I do, then have a go with this one then.
+The album starts off with 'Sucker Train Blues' a great hard rocker and one of the better songs on the album. 'Big Machine' is a killer song about the man and how its holding us down. 'Fall To Pieces' is one of the best power ballads I have ever heard and one of the few worthy of the term. Slash's killer guitar playing comes through great here, you can tell its him playing its great! 'Headspace' is a great hard rocker with fast riffs and a cool solo. 'Superhuman' maybe the best song on the album. the riffs and the solo Slash plays are killer. Scotts lyrics are amazing, as only he could right. this song is killer, trust me, the albums worth it for this and 'Slither' alone. 'Set Me Free' the first song the band recorded. It was on the Hulk soundtrack and this is so STP influenced its crazy. But the song is still awesome. 'Slither' the best song along with 'Superhuman' as I said before. The riff is killer, the solo is even better, and Scott is over the top on this one it sjust great! Slither is one of the best songs I have heard in a hell of a long time! 'Dirty Little Thing' is one of the best songs on the album as well. the way Scott sings the chorus is just damn sick! this song is insane! I love it!

+On what was the first side of its vinyl version are the first seven tracks- the pop/rock side that begins with the futuristic funk of the instrumental "Speed of Life". Next comes the psychotic robotic post-punk of "Breaking Glass" and "What in the World". "Sound And Vision" is  a sweet piece of weird pop perfection. The spacey, bouncing "Always Crashing in the Same Car" has an exquisitely subtle air of resignation to it. This is followed by the hopelessly romantic "Be My Wife" and ends with the majestic instrumental "A New Career in a New Town" in which the lead instrument is a harmonica.

All the band members, including Gabriel were very energitic and vibrant!  This was a concert that I wished I would have seen with my own eyes.  All the song selections that Gabriel made for this concert were either his better and livelier songs, such as Sledgehammer, Sulsbury Hill, and Shaking the Tree, or they were at least pleasant and melodic, and enjoyable to listen to.  From beginning to end, this was a very entertaining DVD.  I played this for several friends who were not into Gabriel, and one even said that he would love to purchase the dvd.

Both albums feature lengthy, largely improvised instrumental tracks, and both cross musical boundaries freely. But where HOT RATS was very much an exercise in jazz/rock, WEENY tends to showcase Zappa's modern classical influences a bit more, whether overtly (as in self-explanatory titles like "Igor's Boogie" and "Overture to a Holiday in Berlin") or more subtly (as in Ian Underwood's entrancing piano solo on "Aybe Sea"). Nevertheless, there's plenty for everyone in both of these albums, and while HOT RATS is ultimately the stronger of the two WEENY is likewise a top-of-the-line offering which never disappoints.

This is her first official solo record. This recording, along with "Sandy" from  1972 ranks as her best solo work. The lyrics are at times, dark and  cryptic. I've heard more than one person complain about the use of strings  in her solo work, but here they are used with a subtle grace. Denny was at  her prime from 1969-1973,From Fotheringay in 70, guesting on Led Zepplin's  4th album in 71 and 3 stunning solo albums from 71-73. She's simply one of  those artists that transports me to another place when i'm not happy with  my surroundings. Not that I need to be in a down mood to hear that  incredible voice
+6851	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Paul McCartney had a serious problem.  Actually two problems.  The vector for Paul's problem was The Critics.  Some critics saw Paul as the reason for the demise of The Beatles.  That was highly unfair since George, Ringo, and John had all had their bat at "leaving the group" at various points between 1968 and 1970.  John's high-maintenance remarks in 1970, undeniably calling The Beatles defunct, prompted Paul to actually legally quite the group (which in England, required legal processes).  Then Paul released McCartney before the release of Let It Be, after Ringo had been sent to dissuade him from doing so.  In the mind of The Critics, it was all Paul's Fault.  Regardless, McCartney debuted at #1 on the charts, much to the chagrin of the pointed noses at Rolling Stone magazine.  So when Paul & Linda McCartney released Ram, the rabid and fuming critics, lead by the Valkyrie of Rolling Stone, snarled and hissed and nipped at the heels of this effort by Malicious Paul and That No-Talent B*^@&!  Paul's "problem" is that the composer cannot write a song that the musician doesn't want to record.  Evidence: the entire McCartney album.  Although initially written and recorded with The Beatles, Junk is just what it portends.  Paul keeps his closets clean by recording literally everything he writes!  I for one, unlike many others, found this charming, fascinating, and a mark of a true artiste.  I was endeared to Paul and George after The Breakup, found Ringo silly but fun, and quite vexed at John for being such a hateful son-of-a-b*^@& all the time. (In later years, around the time John and Harry Nilsson became buxom buddies, I would forgive John his eccentricities and love the Man as much as I loved his Music).  So coupled with the ire of The Critics, it did Paul no good that his music was laden with little ditties he cleaned out of his writing closet that could be called "filler" by some, or "art" by others.

In the beginning Jon Anderson conducts a nice charming chat introduction of the band. He appeared walking between the audience to get into the stage to perform an acoustic sing alone section of hits including "Owner of A Lonely Heart". After this, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman and Bill Bruford play respectively a solo section too. In this concert we can see the great feelings and a sense of respect and fraternity between the members of the band. This Time the YES performance delivers its music with Bill Bruford on board, the band plays the well known songs of the Yes repertoire like "Close to The Edge", "And You & I" or "Roundabout" being helped too by the support of jazz bassist american virtuoso Jeff Berlin to reinforce the classic YES SOUND, even though we really miss a bit the fat metalic sound playing of former bassist Chris Squire (at the time with another founder member Tony Kaye). YES presents The songs of their first ABWH recording that really gets better with the performance of the mystical songs "Birthright" and "Heart Of The Sunrise"

+ Pigeon English is another more recent favorite of mine off Imperial Bedroom. Songs like that one and Human Hands seem to have Costello penning lyrics right out the Cole Porter scrapbook.  There is so much wit and edge and pop-sensibility here it is no wonder that Paul McCartney employed Costello to co-write on a few of his albums in the late 80's-early 90's. If you're a music fan and fan of great song craft Imperial Bedroom is a must listen.  Another sidebar: It was reported that Ira Gershwin actually checked out Imperial Bedroom and was impressed.  Amazing, right?!  That must have went right to EC's head.

+There's not a bad track on this album.  Keep in mind that RAM  was written at the height of the lawsuits that were breaking up The Beatles and some of the lyrics on the album focus on the bitterness at this time towards his old bandmates, of which Paul was not alone in doing in his solo work.

+9890	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Please read the other reviews here for insights as to the compositional content and convoluted history of this, certainly among Frank Zappa's top 5 albums. This review is for the new remastering of the late (Dec.) 2012 re-release. The new remastering is astounding. Full, clear, with lots of punch but no distracting sizzle. Great separation. I have over 15 Zappa pieces from various eras (including the final two of his life, The Yellow Shark and Civilzation Phase 3) and this new version of Lather is the finest sounding of them all. If you have a prior release of Lather, get this one as it is really superior. And as a side note of my own re. the content: this 3-cd album (originally 4-LP) is approximately 1/3 the "juvenile humor" stuff but 2/3 fantastic jazz fusion/modern classical (not the atonal stuff of his final two, but the stuff that sounds like manic-Bernstein, such as some of the instrumental passages of Uncle Meat, Burnt Weeny Sandwich or Hot Rats). A must for Zappa fans.

+7036	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I am impressed by this CD. It contains the Asch Recordings of the great American Folk Singer Mr Woodrow Wilson Guthrie (1912-1967).  To my ears, these are distinctly American in flavour.  This collection includes a large variety of his songs including social protest, songs written for the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), college drinking songs, cowboy songs, sentimental parlour songs, talking blues and Southern African-American blues.  My favourites are the ones which betray a sense of humour.  "Talking Hard Work", "Talking Fishing" and "The Biggest Thing Man Has Ever Done" are bragging songs sung tongue in cheek.  The children's songs, "Car Song" in which Mr Guthrie imitates the sounds of an automobile, and "Why, Oh Why" are delightful.  Smithsonian Folkways has maintained its reputation with thorough notes which span more than 30 pages.  Mr Guy Logsdon writes about Moses Asch, Folkway Records, and annotates each song with meticulous detail.  Of particular interest to me is the song "Jesus Christ".  Mr Logsdon writes, "Woody was a religious man, but not in the conventional sense".  Mr Guthrie may not have been conventional, even so, his observations are poignant.  He tells that his inspiration for the song came when "I saw how the rich folks lived, and the poor folks down and out and cold and hungry..."  He sings that the working men believed what Jesus said while the rich and powerful fought against it.  "If Jesus was to preach as he preached in Galilee, they would lay him in his grave."  In an honest expression, Mr Guthrie is preaching the gospel message.  Namely, the good news of salvation.  He is also identifying an age old truth.  The gospel proclaimed meets a two-fold response, (1) some believe and dedicate their life, while (2) others reject it and those who preach it.  I am impressed with the brilliance of Mr Guthrie as he combines so much into a simple song.  If you are interested in songs by a musician who "played a major role in developing the foundation for the song and social movement" or in fun songs that are distincty "American", this CD will interest you.
+I'm not really familiar with Rich's big band opus, but this is a true gem; pity that the time is short (without "Birth of the Blues" it clocks around 30 minutes) and that the booklet in the edition I own does not list the fine musicians of Rich's band. The drummer is obviously the star, but still...
+I noticed that, on here and on YouTube comments, a lot of people feel that this was "over-acted," "over-produced," etc.  I think what you all don't get is that The Wall is NOT a concert.  It is NOT something you simply perform with a band on stage.  This is a spectacle, a story, a show... this is a performance.  It is something that would work just as easily on a Broadway stage (and Roger Waters should consider that idea, IMO) as it did with Pink Floyd and as it does here.
+6156	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This is a great album - probably really deserves 5 stars, but I've just never really fallen in love with Leon's voice.  However, everything is right on these sessions, the all-stars (Clapton, Wyman, Watts, Ringo,  Harrison, et-al) really shine, and the songs are top-notch.  If you want to  hear great, funky rock and roll, circa 1970, this is a good reference  point.
+The LP first hit the US charts 11 April 1970 eventually rising to No. 60 with a stay of 18 weeks. His connections with Joe Cocker's Grease Band and the live extravaganza of "Mad Dogs And Englishmen" had served Russell well. Cocker took the then unrecorded Leon Russell "Delta Lady" composition and made a UK No. 10 hit out of it in September 1969 (Regal Zonophone RZ 3024) - even making something of a splash Stateside on the singles chart at a lesser No. 69. Leon does his own version here - and cool it is too  funking it up even more. The other two winners on the album picked up by other bands and singers in their droves are "A Song For You" and "Hummingbird". Its said that as many as 100 artists have covered "A Song For You" in every genre - Donny Hathaway, Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin in Soul with The Carpenters, Willie Nelson and Simply Red to name but a few in Easy Listening, Country and Rock. Blues giant B.B. King had a Rock-Blues hit with "Hummingbird" taken from his superb 1970 LP "Indiana Mississippi Seeds on which Russell plays with Carole King and Joe Walsh (see separate review) and the covers of the song go right up to Bonnie Prince Billy in 2012.
+This short debut CD showed the promise of Tool, and the direction Tool would eventually head, though you had to find it amongst a variety of styles.  This CD may be mild for those who prefer groups like Hatebreed, but for those who like their rock edgy and hard with a variety of styles and a clear musical artistry, this CD and Tool should be on their must-have list.

+The live side features one of the greatest live songs ever recorded.  "Crossroads" by Robert Johnson is sped up to a full speed, all out assault.  Eric Clapton does the vocals, but the breaks feature an awesome pair of guitar soloes.  You will be amazed if you have never heard it, or are used to the Eric Clapton post Derek and the Dominoes.  Jack Bruce also lays the wood to the fretboard, and Baker attacks the skins.  The band shows, in about 5 1/2 minutes, what all the hype was about.  Manic pace, fantastic, and I mean fantastic, musicianship, great soloes, and the best rhythm section of all time pushing the featured guitar player.  If you compare Cream to other power trios of the time, they always win.  Somebody in the compared band doesn't measure up.  For example, in Hendrix' band there is a close parity with Clapton/Hendrix on the guitar and Baker/Mitchell on the drums.  Jack Bruce blows Noel Redding out of the water.  They are probably the most talent ever gathered into one group.  "Supergroup" actually describes these guys.

+The smash-hit opening title track sets the tone for the album with it's triumphant keyboard riff; this is a fine blend of arena rock charisma and energy mixed with Springsteen's trademark heartland rock sound.

This album was everything that I wanted it to be, high energy, raw and considering how long it took to record, amazing quality. No matter that it had only two George Thoroughgood written tracks, it transformed some of the other tunes into something I could relate to. Thus Bo Diddleys "Ride on Josephine" and  Earl Hookers "You got to lose" were headed in a direction that I could understand. 24 years later I still get the buzz that I had then when I put it. Surely that's the test of a great album? All that I need now is for someone to re-release "Rockin all Night" by Little Jimmy and Brothers of the Night the next album that the friend who introduced me to George Thoroughgood suggested that I try.

I've listened to his music several years and it never gets old.  Not only that, but with most CDs I have a few favorites per disc--this I love every song!
+Bowie, when he does sing, operates more as a song-speaker than his traditional rich singing. Only "Low's" single, "Sound and Vision," has the shimmer of music that matches the voice, other times, like "Warszawa," he's just chanting. (Is it any wonder Phillip Glass based a whole album around "Low" and this song in particular?) Even "Sound and Vision" tests the limits of Bowie's audiences, the jangle of the guitar hook goes on for about 90 seconds before Bowie chimes in.
+The downsides: pretty much everything else, starting with Maria Maria. What's Santana doing with rappers? I'll tell you what: laughing all the way to the bank as his fans buy the album in droves and are forced to put up with crap like that. And how many times can you mention "Spanish Harlem" in one song? No wonder these guys call themselves the "Product G&B" (which stands for "Ghetto & blues" - how ridiculous can you get?): they are, indeed, pure product. But why stop blasting this now? Africa Bamba is obviously an attempt to pull another Latin-sung smash. But it's not Oye Como Va or Guajira, I'll say that right now. Meanwhile, Put Your Lights On is invariably dull angsty rambling nobody in their right mind would listen to more than once, while Love of My Life wins the Least Original Title award AND the Least Original Song Award. Whoa, great winnings. Amazing. Or maybe I'd give both prizes to Do You Like the Way. I'm torn, somebody help me! And The Calling, with Eric Clapton, should be this godly guitar jam, because it's got ERIC CLAPTON! And he's a REALLY GOOD GUITARIST! And a COMPLETE SELLOUT! JUST LIKE SANTANA! My god, two massive sellouts on one song... the only thing that's missing is a Rod Stewart vocal spot, and they'd be all set. Getting back to the song itself, it's an extrodinary example of wanksmanship that goes on far too long.

+3579	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is Santana's best work in years. The tracks that don't have guests are some passionate fusions of latin, blues, jazz, and rock. The guest singers add their own styles to their tracks. Lauryn Hill seems out of  place, as does Wyclef Jean. Dave Matthews croons effectively, Everlast  sounds surprisingly decent, and Rob Thomas shows that he can sing with the  best of them on the sultry "Smooth". And who can forget Clapton?  The guitar gods create a whopper with the closing track, "The  Calling." A very good purchase worth any Santana fan's time or anyone  that loves good music.

+5572	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Gerald Rafferty's innate sense of pop tempo and styling--similar to Lennon and McCartney and the best of his younger contemporaries, like Difford and Tillbrook (of Squeeze)--was evident to his locals and peers since he first picked up a guitar at age 12.  The son of an alcoholic and abusive father, his mother was known to stay out with Gerry until his Dad was home, drunk, and asleep.  Gerry was beaten as a child and, although it impacted his life, he seldom spoke of his abuse even as an adult. Some say his contemplative songwriting reflects the healing wounds of his childhood. But Papa Rafferty may have given Gerry something worse than the physical abuse: alcoholism.  Quiet Gerry fell victim to the vices of the bottle, a lifelong and possibly hereditary affliction for this even-tempered and well-loved man.

We have some of the usual standards such as "Roundabout", "And You and I", "Owner of a Lonely Heart", "All Good People" which seem to be on nearly every last live Yes DVD, but the other tunes seem to alternated.

It began to show on " Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player" with "Crocodile Rock". "Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road" was the last album he did that I liked and even that one would have made a much better single album. Everything from 1970 to 73 with the exception of "Friends" really overshaddows his later work.

+The performances of the material from DSOM alone are worth the price of this dvd. Although the lack of Waters' steely edge is noticeable here and there, it's a very satisfying performance overall, even in Great Gig in the Sky (though it must be added, there will never, ever be another Clare Torry). When they came to the end of Eclipse, I stood up and applauded loudly in my living room--with no one to hear it except my befuddled cat. It is an irresistible impulse: after all, this band received a gift, a visitation such as is rarely encountered, in art or anywhere else, for that matter. Some 40 years after they formed this band and began the process of transforming modern music, watching them perform still stirs the soul. If you listen to Time, Great Gig in the Sky, or Shine On, and aren't moved to the core of your being, then maybe it's time to check your "Pulse."

+"Born in the USA" is one of the most rock-pop dominated, yet realistic and cynical albums of all-time. Record sales do not determine the merit of an album--some say if an album doesn't sell enough, it must not be very good, and others claim if it's a blockbuster then it's merely a conform-to-the-norm of pop radio. All of those theories aside, "Born in the USA" is absolute proof that music can at times be pop radio friendly, and meaningful at the same time.

Recorded two years after the landmark "Low" and "Heroes" albums, "Lodger" does not quite live up to the legacy the previous two albums allowed for it, as though taking time out of the studio to tour somehow derailed the Bowie/Eno partnership a bit.

Some of the songwritting isn't that great, but others  are undeningly profound.  I liked "Put Your Lights On" with  Everlast.  The vocals are outstanding and the lyrics are ok.  Anyone who  can't see or hear the magic of "Smooth" is just blind.  The  vocals are awesome and the lyrics are great.  Both the lyrics and the  vocals are done by Rob Thomas, the lead singer of Matchbox 20.  Smooth,  alone, won 3 grammys: Record of the year, Song of the year and best Pop  collaboration with vocals.  Smooth went to #1 on the Top 40 charts as well  as the Billboard single chart. It is an outstanding song.  I loved  "Maria Maria" with the Product G&B.  It is a cool song. My  favorite line is "See as the rich are getting richer, the poor are  getting poorer." Wyclef Jean wrote the song and he raps a little of  it.  I liked the Spanish song Migra.  It is a cool song and has excellent  vocals.  This is despite the fact that I don't know what they are saying.  Beyond those songs, the rest were ok.  The Lauryn Hill track was kinda  lame.  "The Calling" with Eric Clapton was lomg and boring.  These are the best songs in order: Smooth; Maria Maria; Migra; Put Your  Lights On; Love Of My Life; Africa Bamba; (Da Le) Yaleo; Wishing It Was; Do  You Like The Way; El Farol; Corazon Espinado; Primavera; and The Calling.

In fact the two main melodies are very catchy: one of them is first heard in 'The Cornfied' and the other one is heard in full in the title track 'Field Of Dreams'.  I also like 'Old Ball Players', a very nice swing tune very reminiscent of the 40s or the 50s, orchestrated by the late Billy May (from the "Batman" and "The Green Hornet" T.V. shows in the 60s).  In fact, this is a good album.

Trouble with their work permits kept them from capitalizing on their fame here, when they hit right out of the box with SHE'S NOT THERE. Bad luck, bad management, trouble with unions did not stop these guys from plugging away. This set is like finding a treasure trove of GOOD British Invasion records you never heard before. Rave-ups, eerie introspective numbers (way before they were in vogue), and just plain wonderful pop songs permeate this fantastic sounding 4 disc set. That's info for the uninitiated. For those in the know, there's mono and rare stereo versions, overdubbed and pre-overdubbed versions, studio chatter and rehearsals, live at the BBC recordings, a massive 65 page booklet that goes through the band's history and track by track breakdown and commentary from the guys, a ton of photos, and just about everything this group ever recorded. Very,very few clunkers. Despite two timeless #1 hits (at the begining and end of their career) the Zombies need to be re-evaluated as one the top groups of the British Invasion.

+7815	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The Christmas CD is a breath of fresh air, as its name implies. Though there is a track that is what some would call "traditional Mannheim Steamroller", most of the tracks - if heard "blind" - would not be linked to the artist. There are Renaissance, Gregorian chant, and you-name-it stylings. One waits with anticipation for the next track as the current one ends. For one arranger/conductor to achieve such variety (with quality) is amazing. I mean, there is similarity in styling with Montovani, Arthur Fiedler, Ray Conniff, Ferrante & Teicher, Frank Mills, 101 Strings, etc.  These are great styles, don't get me wrong, but usually one knows what to expect before listening to a new album. This is fine, and does help a person avoid styles they don't like and/or choose styles they are confident they will like when buying a new album.

From the opening track, with its spoken word monologue about "Hunger City" overlayed on the 1940's standard "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" right through the final cut, "We Are The Dead," this album never stops moving.  The title cut is a rocker par excellence.  Furthermore, there are few better anthemic pieces than "Rebel Rebel," with its engaging guitar hook.  I would rate this among Bowie's top 5 albums of all time, and cannot recommend it highly enough.

+7529	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I have always felt that Will Smith was an under-appreciated emcee since his inception in Hip Hop in the mid 1980's.  He has been ridiculed for being corny, too commercialized, soft, weak, and unskilled.  This is unfortunate because Will's success is not driven by stardom but rather his emceeing skills.  This is made abundantly clear on "He's The DJ I'm The Rapper".  He has a penchant for strong songwriting.  All the songs on this album have verses that connects seamlessly with the hooks.  Every verse on each song picks right up where the last one left off on.  Aside from songwriting is Will's uncanny ability to play different characters in his songs like "Parents Just Don't Understand".  His voice imitations brings a self-depreciating humor that injects a comical punch not found on many Hip Hop records.  Songs like "Parents Just Don't Understand" helped to pave the way for Yo! MTV Raps so that fans could see their hardcore favorites.  Back in 1988, the Grammy's and MTV wasn't showing much love to Rap artists and I feel Will Smith played a major part in changing all of that.  His skills on this release are sharper than a ginsu.  Check the title track.  There's a reason why nobody wanted to beef with Mr. Smith back in the days.  Aside from the emceeing, Jazzy Jeff shows why he is one of the baddest DJ's around.  It's a frantic scratch attack on the one's and two's that serves as an added instrument over the beats.  The beat boxing is also memorable, especially the mimicking of 'Donkey Kong' on "Human Video Game".  Of all of the movies and records that Will Smith has made, this album is in my opinion his best work and should silence all of his critics who thinks that his career is driven by stardom and not his emceeing skills.

+The important thing, as Harnoncourt wrote about in Baroque Music Today: Music as Speech, is not whether the instruments are authentic or not, although they certainly are a tool toward an authentic performance.  More important than the instruments is the style and technique employed.  Mutter's recording is an excellent example of a musician trying to apply 19th century bowing and 20th century vibrato to 18th century music, and it fails miserably.

+If you haven't yet tried any of Mannheim's Christmas albums, and you're looking for a place to start, go with this one.  Their original release ("Christmas", from 1984) is also great, and definitely a classic, but this album takes everything that worked on "Christmas" and refines it to perfection, making it one of those rare cases in which the sequel outdoes the original.
+The high-powered quality presented throughout the album proved them deserving of their return to mainstream.  Their signature rawness from each individual combines wonderfully through their songs.  This results in the best Stone Temple Pilots album ever and the best Guns & Roses album since 1988's "Appetite For Destruction".  Velvet Revolver adds new life to rock music, which has been fading from mainstream the last three years.  This is one of those occasional albums which every song maintains the album's powerful theme.  They took what they know and worked on ways to make it groundbreaking.  This modern rock sound doesn't sound too grungy or too heavy metal.  They assure their fans that their return is worth the wait while it separates the members from their previous bands.

+None the less Wheels Of Fire is considered by many as Cream's final album and maybe their finest.

Apart from the hits the other tracks are awesome on their own, AS YOU SAID and DESERTED CITIES OF THE HEART are both essential Cream tracks.

Cale never quite made it in the mainstream like his former partner Lou Reed did; though his music was always more melodic than Reed's, it was more experimental and much less accessible. Cale was also always intent on making his own music himself, without help like the one Reed got from people like David Bowie (on 'Transformer') or Bob Ezrin (on 'Berlin'). And so, his albums always sounded somewhat too underproduced and eccentric for the general public, and never reached commercial success. Not that he ever wanted them to, for that matter.

Confirming another review, the SACD is indeed presented a bit louder than the DVD-Audio.  However after over an hour of listening, I can hear no discernable difference between the audio portions of these discs.  Yes, both come from the exact same 5.1 master.  In fact, even the disc labels on both are practically identical, one indicating SACD emblems and the other DVD-Audio.  So no new sonic revelations over the 2001 DVD-Audio release.  One advantage for the SACD is that it will play in all CD players as it is a hybrid.  One advantage to the DVD-Audio is the on-screen presentation of the lyrics and many photos.  The best news is that, even at Amazon's current price, the SACD is a steal compared to the prices being asked for the out of print DVD-Audio.  My biggest hope is that these discs from Japan will bring about renewed interest in 5.1 sound music, so that we may be fortunate enough to see other timeless classic recordings released (not just rehashes of previous DVD-Audio releases) in multi-channel SACD....please, please, please!
+Something else the re-issue does is prove McCartney's ear for good sound; the remastering makes you wish more of the current flock of producers/engineers gave a whit about the spaces between the notes and the atmosphere of your recording. Just the strummed opening and Paul's "hey hey hey" opening are enough to give you goosebumps. The whole album does what not many can do in this day and age, and that's make an album that holds together as a full piece. Even if the album before this (McCartney) seemed ramshackle and rambling, "Ram" erased all doubts that Paul was capable of delivering an album that both lived up to his prior work and would establish him as an artist on his own.

The concert was being used as a fundraiser as the PBS stations are won't to do ... but it was awesome to hear! You can tell that no one -- NO ONE -- had the kind of timber, melody, and operatic voice of Roy Orbison. Oh my god!! He could sway and slide into the highest notes with the greatest of ease. One lovable hit song after another literally flowed out of his mouth. No insidious chatter in between -- just pure, beautiful, soulful music from this Texan who left us too quickly. I had no idea that Christine was written about his first wife, who he divorced and was in the process of reconciling with when she was killed in a motorcyle crash. Or that two of his children burned to death in a fire at the family home outside Nashville. What sorrow and sadness must have enveloped him.

It was the birthplace of Aubrey 'Moon' Mullican, Lefty Frizzell, Jim Reeves and many many others. George Jones is another of its many products and this man - along with Jerry Lee Lewis - gets my vote for being the greatest living country singer. Jones is the real thing and has a style that is totally original. His blues based phrasing and country and gospel emotions make him the greatest pure country singer of this era. Many modern day country singers have tried to emulate Jones but nobody can even hope to come close to Jones who is the real deal to use one of his song titles. Influenced by Bill Monroe, Moon Mullican, Floyd Tillman, Hank Williams and other honky tonk, western swing and bluegrass singers, Jones fused Texan swing with Mountain soul for all eternity.
+As for this 1999 "expanded edition", the 5 bonus tracks add a lot of interest to the proceedings. The 'original demo' version of "Catch My Fall" is much better than the album version, bringing out its true potential--it loses the dull keyboards and saxophone and brings out the rhythm guitars which give it a '50s rockabilly feel. The 'original demo' of "Blue Highway", despite being the rather low fidelity, is also preferrable due to the absence of the annoying synths on the chorus. The 'session take' of the title track certainly isn't as powerful as the album version, but still, it's welcome to hear it in a relatively stripped-down form, plus the lyrics are a bit different, as is the arrangement which hadn't been perfected yet. And the 'session take' of "Flesh For Fantasy" is MUCH different than the album version; again, it's not as good, feeling rather disjointed, with much of the mid-tempo funkiness gone in favor of an uptempo rock feel, plus a different chorus, but it does spotlight Stevens' ringing guitar work which is a real pleasure to hear.
+First thing about this album is it contains the huge hit "Baker Street" which any radio listener has heard for decades. It may have been the movie Good Will Hunting that rekindled my love for the song, and even again this week I've really gotten into it. It never gets old. I've heard it covered by David Lee Roth, Foo Fighters and Waylon Jennings, and none of them are near as great as the original.
+Leonard's lyrics have a beauty all their own. The music is exquisite. The spot on vocal interpretation and crystalline voice of Jennifer Warnes meld these songs into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. "Famous Blue Raincoat" has stood the test of time. I deeply love this work, and I am thrilled to recommend it. This re-mastering has truly expanded the soundstage of the music. The highs are higher and the lows are lower. Every instrument has room to breathe here. Jennifer sounds like she is in the room with you! WHAT A VOICE! Give this new release a listen. See if you too don't fall under its spell...

+Anyways, back to the review.  Opiate marks the debut of the phenomenon known as tool.  It features their original, grungey-metal style.  Featuring almost none of the amazing progressive feats of their future albums, songs are simple, short and for the most part to-the-point.  It deals with a number of issues, but the central ones are religion and censorship. (Heavily linked, you know?)  The title/title track refers to the role of christian religion as a comfort-supplying drug.... made up of lies.  Hush is a censorship oriented piece, and Jerk-Off is about one of the great flaws of the justice system:"It's only wrong if you get caught."  As a whole the lyrics are intricate and well thought out.

+It's kind of sad that the despite being known before the breakout hit "Caribbean Queen", a funky fusion of dance pop and R&B suavness, that none of those tracks are included on here.  Billy Ocean's "Greatest Hits" starts off with that unforgettable eighties jam (career wise, not by tracklisting) and touches on all 3 of his Jive albums, but nothing before or after that.  Look at the date on this disc.  1989.  Is that an omen?  Unfortunately, all of Billy's other stuff appear to be out of print or only available as costly imports. When you listen to this disc, you will fell something, whether it is joy or sorrow.  I almost second-guessed the man and thought the only songs I liked would the upbeat well-known radio staples.  I didn t even remember the adult contemporary staple ballads.  This album is essential 1980s!  I guess some people have a time period in which they do their most successful work (not a real revelation by any means).  But Billy Ocean wasn't just a part of the music scene during his run.  Billy owned it!  Here s To You, Mr. Ocean.

+6271	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Have been a fan of the multi channel SACDs since discovering this high end audio format. The Elton John library is Hybrid CD and SACD all on one disc (so you can also play it in CD players) but to take full benefit of the high end resolution you must have a SACD player. Depends on who you ask, but most folks enjoy these bodies of work in surround sound (you can choose to play it in two channel also using your player to set that up). I was getting tired of the same old 16 bit CD format and was excited to hear about these new discs coming out. Madman Across the Water (and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road SACD) has got to be one of my favorites! It really puts you in the middle of this amazing music. Unlike the older 16 bit CD, you don't hear the hiss or flatness the analog recording produced. Instead the music comes fully alive and Elton's voice is not drowned out by all the activity from the other speakers. I have many SACDs (and DVD Audio discs) that I can enjoy again once I bought an Oppo player that handles these high end discs in all their glory. It is a shame that more music enthusiasts didn't jump on the bandwagon of this great format. Now it gets difficult to find the ones that are left. The imports are usually two channel only whereas the older ones were multi channel. James Taylor has got to be the best sounding in surround sound (with its ambiance) but that's a different review. I am just glad to find some of these older SACDs on Amazon at reasonable prices. I don't mind double dipping, because this is a whole new way to hear (and experience) your favorite music.
+Garland's voice was a delicate instrument, and although it was not in truly superior form for this performance it was certainly solid enough to deliver one knock-out punch after another, beginning with a ferocious performance of "The Man Who Got Away" and then a charming and memorable "I Can't Give You Anything But Love."  But the highlight of the program comes at the end, when Garland dispenses with her guests and stomps out onto a runway surrounded by her audience to toss off a handful of songs as only she could: "Swanee," "Rock-A-Bye Your Baby," "San Francisco."  And while she doesn't quite manage to catch that Carnegie Hall lightening, she still makes it more than worth the trip.

Great production values plus Frank in excellent form make tremendous music event the Ultimate Sinatra performance from his mature years and his last solo Television Special and one of his all-time finest!  Having read a few of the really tired reviews about this incredibly great special, I felt it was time...forget those who think that this legend was only great in his early years and open up to one of the most wonderfully soulful performances ever from a major legendary icon...anyone that I have played this wondrous special for has gone out and purchased it!  From the opening "Nice "N" Easy", it is clear that Sinatra is in top form vocally and at his soulful best. "The One I Love" is a romp and "Pennies From Heaven" with Count Basie is infectious and has never sounded finer.  Deeply emotive in the moody "I Loved Her" mades this classic one to play back over and over again and "The Girl From Ipanema" with Tony Mottola on guitar is so fine and it is fascinating to watch these two masters at the top of their game.  Brooding and again deeply soulful in George Harrison's "Something" make this a memorable performance of this classic and "Monday Morning Quarterback" continues this mood and is another great vocal and a beautifully moving performance. A definitive version of the standard "The Best Is Yet To Come" is infectious and a catchy single release "(We Had A) Good Thing Going" would have been a hit in better musical times than the bland mid-eighties, and Sinatra clearly is having the time of his life with the exhuberant "Say Hello".  Never has anyone come close to Sinatra's classic reading of "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and this stellar version is magnificent as is the soulfully sung "New York, New York" which is also a joy to see Frank sing with Liza and Sammy in the great VHS concert "The Ultimate Event" which is exactly that and this is another masterpiece that should have been released on DVD long ago...makes one wonder where are the heads of these marketing morons...little wonder the music industry is suffering from declining sales and the closing of major chains!  Closing this classic and spectacular special is a moving "Thanks For The Memory" and this version is as good as it gets...if you love Sinatra, don't miss this incomparable special!  Thank you Ole' Blue Eyes for the best in music and entertainment for so many very good years!!!!!

+3542	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This recording is without a doubt the most pleasant surprise of the past year.  Santana's success was somwhat limited since the mid seventies(althoughI personally liked many ofhis work afterwards.  However,  Carlos seems to bring out the best in today's hip hop/alternative artists  and in turn they seem to return the favor.  This album really brings out  the beauty in International Music as the songs are all performed with alot  of passion.  I'm not the biggest fan of hip hop/rap music but on this disc  it just sounds excellent to my ears.  Most likely because it has a rock n  roll instrumental backing as opposed to just a drum machine and a bunch of  annoying electronic special effects. The hip hop stars seem to add some  spunky special effects and the International stars add tones that are more  soul soothing than if Santana merely concoted a pure classic rock album  with heavy percussion beats. Overall, this is one case where a little old  and a little new come turn into something shiny and true.
+I think one of the most underappreciated tunes on this album, and one of Elton's finest, is "Indian Sunset". Your old Seer saw Elton, many yellow moons ago, perform this on T.V. with just a piano. It was simply outrageously excellent! The composition is sad, wispful, spirited, and release so beautifully done and so very remarkable. The moods - the changing themes - the pride of the Indian - all these things come together in such an emotional and underlying intense way. This is just one of the many examples that Elton was such an undeniable talent in his early years.

+Over time Elton played keyboards of various types, but on his album "Songs from the West Coast" he returned to the piano once again, recalling the relative innocence of this early music, though with the maturity of a talented, seasoned artist. I think it is a tribute to the power of this early music that Elton has returned to it stylistically in "Songs from the West Coast."
+Skillet has kind of been under the radar with four releases (five, if you count Ardent Worship), from 1996-2001. Their debut, with an album art showing a pan, was more of a grunge-rock effort, therefore not being as interesting. Hey You I Love Your Soul was a great album, but it wasn't necessarily Skillet's album that did the job, neither was Invincible or Alien Youth. Collide was unveiled in 2003, and it put Skillet at a peak. While there were some weak points, Collide was an enjoyable nu-metal disc. But Comatose is when everything was strung together, and I can honestly say that this is their best to date.

City To City, Island and Waiting For The Day all feature mid-tempo harmony and that crystal voice, so tuneful. The highlights of the LP are not only the mega-hit FM staples, but also the incredibly powerful Stealin' Time and Whatever's Written In Your Heart, which are anthems for inner peace and soul-searching.  The meaning of life is Gerry's eternal question, and the artist's calm strength in subtle words fills each Rafferty record over forty years, but is most pronounced on the City To City album.

+Third, and probably much more controversially, I would argue that, because we know for a FACT that Hendrix himself was highly self-critical, that he used concerts as much as the studio to work out his improvisational vocabulary for a given song, and that he had no idea that this was going to be more or less his last documented guitar playing, maybe the cuts were made in the interests of creating a cleaner account of the songs.  I can't say that I would agree with the choices made.  Young's point on "Machine Gun" is absolutely right.  But I don't agree that the neccessity of editting itself was either shameful or somehow heretical, as Young seems to suggest.

This cd is arguably TOOL's best release up to date. Some of these songs grew on me immediatly ,and some i found growing on me even a year after buying the album... try reading some lyrics, the songs do make alot more sense... those who say TOOL is not hard must listen to that incoherent death metal that i cant even understand. Maynard's voice is an extremely unique, and melodic and i cannot of anyone who could ever possibly replace him. this cd is definetly in my top 10 of all time. i reccomend this to anyone who LISTENS to rock music

Not only that, there are several legit live music sharing sites (where artists - sometimes grudging - accept live file sharing as long as no profit is made) where this concert is available at no cost. So download this excellent concert for free, and then use the money you saved to buy another legit Eagles album so the band will get something! That's a win win.

+Born in the USA was the follow-up for Nebraska, a sparse demo-like recording. A lot of the material here was culled from those sessions and had the E-Street bravura added to them. The title track was originally a one-man rockabilly outing but transformed in E-Street synth-rock. The same treatment songs as Dancing in the Dark, Glory Days or I'm on Fire got. It's that treatment that's ultimately the weakness of the record. Today Born in the USA sounds hopelessly dated at times. The listener is forced to listen beyond the production for its depth and meaning. At the time of its release it was no different. A lot of the lyrics meanings tend to get lost in the poppy production that made it so successful. It is also one of Springsteen least cohesive efforts. The styles on the album range from pop to rockabilly, from stadium rock to folk. For those who take the effort to dig deeper into the record there is a wealth in the songs that is rarely matched by other artists.
+
+Just keep in mind that this is not a concert, but a well-put-together Christmas show.
+Technically, the recording is okay  and retains its 'punch' despite the pre-stereo technology. That the songs  are able to stand out despite the not-so-advanced technology tells us a lot  about their quality.
+Paul and Tony Bennett are to music what Audrey Hepburn was to acting.  You get grace, class and talent.  What better combination can you find that that?  Gentle melodies; some intense guitar work and a mellifluous voice - now you KNOW it just doesn't get any better than that!  i JUST love the "Ram" collection!  You also get some Paul humor along with the excellent songs.  "Ram On" is a spoof on "Ramon," a stage name Paul used during the 1960 - 1961 pre-Beatle days in Hamburg, Germany.

+Overall it's a good disc with some fine performances. I especially like the tracks CORAZON ESPINADO, YALEO, LOVE OF MY LIFE, SMOOTH, MARA MARIA and PRIMAVERA. Clearly Santana is trying to reach a broader audience and there is nothing wrong with that but having said that, I stil prefer the Santana band from the first 3 albums. THAT was a jammin' band! Latin-flavored rock didn't get much better.
+The tone of his narration is so self-riteous and patronising you'd think he was Satan telling us he'd invented evil - which is probably how he sees himself. But as a character in a movie he doesn't look like a villain, he just looks like a boring little guy. Incompetent and foolish.

+Tool formed in Los Angeles in 1991. Frontman Maynard James Keenan teamed up with guitarist Adam Jones, drummer Danny Carey and bassist Paul DAmour and soon got to work on an EP, Opiate. Released in 1992, Opiate hinted at the mammoth vitriol and self-loathing of Tools future albums, especially on tracks like Cold and Ugly. But Opiates seven songs were just a warm-up for the darkness to come.

+These videos are not in chronological order, and I don't know if there is a meaning behind the arrangement.  We begin with "Silent All These Years," which is marked by stop-gap photography and highly contrasting white colors toward the end, all of which gives Tori an ethereal look.  The European version of Cornflake Girl is next, and I find it much superior to the American version found later in this collection.  It begins and ends with Tori lying among fallen leaves, looking stunning in a white dress; the heart of the video is in black and white, and it contains a hint of a Wizard of Oz motif among a number of visual images.  Past the Mission is one of those videos I don't understand very well; Tori leads two girls, a teenager and a younger girl, Spanish-type village; the women of the town follow her until they meet a priest, at which point all of the women lie prostrate on the ground for the priest to make his way past them; the village men follow the priest, and the women all walk outside of the town, seeming much happier after doing so.  China is an interesting visual treat, with Tori wearing a dress made to look like the rocks of the beach she is on.
+Poor picture quality aside, this is a worthy DVD, though I am praying they will eventually "fix" the picture when the inevitable re-issue comes out in support of one of the upcoming HD-DVD formats.

Words cannot describe how much Tool and their music means to me.  They are a band that needs to be discovered by everyone who thinks that something is missing in today's music scene.  This band puts more thought into 5 seconds of this album than most bands can muster up for an entire album.  Each band member can be singled out for their outstanding musicianship... but whats the point?  What the four of them create is so much more important than an individual person's skills.  It is a very powerful and satisfying album that needs to be experienced, not listened to.  And yes, Lateralus is just as amazing.

This is by far the original Mothers most ambitious work.  There's a lot of instrumental music, dialog, songs found on Uncle Meat.  It is truly amazing the variety of sounds that were invented with studio techniques.  Many of the humorous moments are purely instrumental (something Zappa got from Eric Dolphy I believe).  If I had to pick a single Zappa CD that I could take with me to a desert island it would be Uncle Meat.  I love this record, it's fun, interesting, fascinating really.  Pure genius.

To the movie house fanasty of "Nasty" to the black and white of "Let's Wait awhile" to the freak show of "Escapade" to the big dance /production extravaganzas of "When I Think Of You" and "Alright" through the military vibe of "Rhythm Nation" the videos showcase her and the music. Best videos to me are the longer version of "Control","Miss You Much" and the laid back "That's The Way Love Is " which features Jennifer Lopez in a cameo.

+There are 4 different sessions on this CD, so it is kind of like getting 4 for the price of 1.  One of the other CD's I bought claimed to be a "half-hour of peace" but when you take away the introduction and the music at the end, it was only 15 minutes.

It definitely has more of a Stone Temple Pilots "Big Bang Baby"/"Sex Type Thing" going for it with Weiland doing his low-pitch mumbling voice, which I love. He's really good at this and it makes him stand out more than when he's just singing straightforward. Great lyrics, great solo by Slash...second best song on the album if I do say so myself!

+The cd is 73.5 minutes long (the case said 74 minutes...), which is great if you like long cd's (like me!).  The booklet is thick and loaded with pictures and art from the movie, plus notes from Steven Spielberg and someone else, and a very long commentary from John Williams broken down to different subjects (like "on Steven Spielberg," "on conducting" etc.).  There's even commentary on every track.  Everything has been remastered, there are some totally new tracks and some tracks that are expanded to their original form before they were cut.
+  In terms of both lyrics and music,whether the music be based more in jazz or rock,the key term to describe this would be as a funky album. Not only is it funky. But especially with the presence of George Duke,himself about to launch into a highly innovative solo career with Zappa producer Kerry McKnabb on the MPS label&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Faces-in-Reflection/dp/B001AI1QV8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Faces in Reflection</a>,an album recorded around this time and more than worthwhile to pick up if your a fan of Zappa of this period,the music here is definitely based in the funk era as well. The musicians,who were of such a powerful and high quality many of them would soon become major players and innovators of their own,all dive headlong inside the groove on every one of these songs and stay right there on the one wherever Zappa's musical and lyrical conceptualizations happened to be. And even though the music often seemed very free form,it was just the charm of Zappa showing again. His music,again a good quality for funk,was so much about control and often strong perfectionism. Not to overuse a term but it definitely bought to mind the idea of controlled chaos. And this particular album,by often being the most pop song craft and melodic oriented of his 70's era releases,added to Zappa's unique take on the funk era from his perspective here.

When I cracked this open today and popped it in the machine, the opening theme music and cheesy dance routines took me back 35 years in an instant.  I'm not sure I would recommend this to anyone who didn't live through it as I did, however.  My present S.O. is too young, by about 10 years, and has no recollection of this show, and frankly doesn't see why I got so excited about it.  It's hard to explain, I guess, why anyone would be thrilled to see grainy B&W mostly lip-synched performances of extremely light-weight pop music.  Well, so be it, but thrilled I am. Some of it is _extremely_ light-weight, too:  I could do without about half the acts (Vikki Carr? Gary Lewis? Jerry Lewis?!?) but there's plenty to like, as well.

I just finished reading her biography "Dancing with demons" so I am still influenced by memoirs of her long-time manager who knew her as less-than perfect human being behind glamourous image,but no matter what personal problems she had to cope with,she left a beautiful legacy of her music. I was very moved with this CD box,but it does leave a impression that Dusty lost her way after brilliant 1960's period and for the rest of her career she was sort of lost,trying different music styles and not always finding that brilliance that shined through 1960's. After "Memphis" album,"Rolling Stone" predicted she could end up as hotel-lounge singer and that is excatly what almost happened - only her private alcohol/drugs problems stopped her actually. Knowing than her manager later managed Labelle,I can't stop wondering what would happen if Dusty had some clever team behind her,instead of spending "lost years" singing background vocals for others. At the same time,in 1970's Rita Coolidge had big hits while basically imitating Dusty's breathy,smoky vocals! Now,lady is gone and we have this beautiful CD box to remind us what a talent she had,IF ONLY big-time record companies were interested to invest time and money behind her...

Guns was a great hard rock band, and Stone Temple Pilots was a decent grunge band from the 90's.  But, as over 10 years has passed since their heyday, the musical landscape has changed.  Now, instead of valuing great musicianship and songwriting(GN'R), bands value no solos, using large amounts of profanity, and a lack of smart lyrics( Slipknot falls into this category).  So, on Contraband, there are no songs that fall into the first category but falls into the second, sadly.  The music is shockingly subpar and have a bad nu metal sound.  Scott Weiland sounds terrible.  It could be blamed because the same man who mixed Linkin Park, John Abraham, mixed Contraband.  Yep, this is a supergroup- just like the disaster on VH1.  Avoid getting this album if you enjoy real music.

He has shown it throughout the 30 odd years he has been ever present in music.  He influenced a whole generation of music and here he shows he has huge ears.  There is something here for everyone.  There is the signature Santana sound but when he collaborates he meets the other artist halfway as they do him.  This one deserves the accolades because it was simply the most musical recording in pop in the last few years.  Yes there are production values but there is also a loose jammin' field. Things are not set and polished to a high gloss.  Carlos wails on this one but he picks his spot and never at the expense of the pieces.  It's great to see Carlos "rediscovered" since he has been such an lost treasure over the years.  Yes many have been aware of him. He has his following and has played with the very very best but in this age of hype and bombast. It's nice to see someone who deserves the accolades come to the fore of pop and turn out such a successful recording.  "Love of My Life", "Migra", "The Calling", "Wishing It Was",  "El Farol", "Do You Like the Way" and "Smooth" are real highpoints.  This one is keeper.

The first 12-13 cuts off this CD featuring 22 different cuts are mainly the original Animals. The remainder represent later versions of the Animals and are interesting to listen to so that one might compare the evolving sound as the group members changed and as Burdon and the band developed over time.

+I listened and played those records until I literally wore out the grooves.  I was young, curious, and had a genuine love for what Zappa had to offer.  That, and they were just one REALLY UGLY bunch of guys. I thought "Jeez, they must be pretty good musicians 'cause I know they aren't pretty and certainly MOT making it on their looks."  At the time, I thought CRIPES "THESE ARE THE UGLIEST PEOPLE I'VE EVER SEEM", Must Be good!
+The video to "Hyperballad" is a stunning collection of vivid images and a contrast between modern man and Mother Nature. We see an image of Bjork with her eyes closed, laid down in a patch of leaves and grass, while electric static flickers over her face bringing up some beautifully luminous colours. Again, the video was directed by the amazing Michael Gondry. "Possibly Maybe" was, as Bjork says, her first ever 'sad' song. People are brought up in Iceland with a positive outlook on life, so to write a song with negative emotions was seen as a struggle by her! Fortunately, she pulled off a masterpiece and the video is the same.  Stephane Sednaoui directed the video, which features disjointed shots of Bjork playing with yellow powder under a black light, wailing with an afro, in a silk kimono putting on lipstick, hovering in the sky like a flickering goddess and in a red dress over a fire. The video is amazing for its use of contrasting colours, a variety of costume changes and Bjork's incredible performance. In the beginning the director uses very bright, flashy colours in contrast with monotone colours. Bjork is very sensual as she eats and licks the watermelon and puts lipstick on. This video shows a whole new side of her, as usual. The video to "I Miss You" is very strange because it uses cartoon images with normal images of a ginger Bjork! It's a very surreal video, and features some rather rude imagery, so not one for children!
+This was a good start for the band, but I'm not sure how the others songs could test as singles. Fall to Pieces and Slither were the only exceptions.
+13. "Nothing Really Matters".  The fourth song of this DVD of songs from the CD "Ray of Light".  I love the song but the video was kinda weird.  Madonna dressed as a geisha.  She actually looked like a guy trying to dress like a girl.  She wasn't very pretty at all.  Although, in this video, she does wear a more simplified red kabuki dress.  Another thing freaky about this video are all the Japanese retards used in the video.  So, this is my second least favorite video on this collection, behind "Secret".
+
+The rest of the album is amazing. This is a band that allows the drummer and bass player to stand out, unlike too many other heavy metal bands. The drums on Hooker with a Penis and Pushit are really impressive. Eulogy is full of tension, Aenima is a perfect radio hit (except for the liberal use of cursing:), and Forty Six and 2 is as tight as a fist. The secret weapons on this CD are Pushit and H, two songs that require repeated listening to reveal themselves. If you like smart heavy metal, you'll love this album. This is the kind of CD you listen to obsessively when you get it --- and you still reach for it ten years later.
+This is the only Metallica DVD worth buying in my opinion. It brings me back to high school parties when we were the bad dudes who dug Metallica.
+11. Pushit - *11/10

+758	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I consider myself an audiophile which is why I am surprised that I enjoy new music on vinyl more than cd.  The mixing on modern cds is designed for the songs to be ripped to mp3s thus the recordings emphasize the loud parts of the songs and cut out the subtle aspects of the music.  I have found that the mixing on vinyl better represents the way the artists created their songs.
+Canticle of Freedom, rarely heard, features chorus.  The music and text are interesting enough to wonder why it has been neglected.

+13. Not Tonight, Featuring Jermaine Dupri.- (9.5/10) Jermaine Dupri is really annoying in this song. He just keeps repeating "J.M., Ya'll" at the start. Really good song though. Great beat.
+Over-Nite Sensation found Zappa and the Mothers doing more song-based material, which obviously helped album sales. Unfortunately this album did not endear to many older fans, because of this new song-based approach, not to mention Zappa started resorting to eigth-grade locker room humor for many of the lyrics. But what can't be denied is this is a solid collection of songs, many have since became staples of the Dr. Demento Show. Perhaps the one song most worth mentioning is "I'm the Slime" which features lyrics that are totally valid to this day: a harsh criticism of television and the mindless content of too many movies and television programs being aired (I, myself am not anti-television, although television could benefit greatly if they aired something with much more substance). The song ends with an extended guitar solo that wouldn't be out of place on Hot Rats. "Dirty Love" is basically a song about a lady and her poodle, and what goes on between them. "Fifty-Fifty" features the vocals of Ricky Lancelotti, who has a unique, raspy voice you won't mistake for any other member of the Mothers, Zappa included. And let's not forget the extended electric violin solo from Ponty himself, and some nice use of pipe organ. All the other cuts features vocals from Zappa himself. "Montana" is just plain silly about a guy moving to Montana to become a dental floss tycoon. "Dinah-Moe Humm" features some really explicit lyrics, but the music really gets funky, especially with George Duke giving some nice use of clavinet.
+This was meant to be a sampler for that album, and possibly functions as a best of for a set that never existed. The material is wild, varied, and powerful. "Oh No" and it's segue into "Orange County Lumber Truck" may be one of the best chunks of music Zappa ever put down onto tape. "My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama" is biting guitar work, and the final "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" is simply three minutes of painful feedback, followed by ecstatic applause, which just goes to show where the audience's heads were back then.
+BTW - I don't know if others took note of the audience, but I'm going to go back and pause the concert in may places to take a hard look at the audience.  I am certain that I saw many named musicians and actors of the day in the audience.

+Unlike his first solo effort, this one had a bunch of singles taken from it. The first was "Too Many People", followed by "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey". On the right shore of the Atlantic they had "Heart Of The Country" and "The Back Seat Of My Car" thrown at them as singles. I reckon all four tunes are pretty good and that accounts for part of the reason why this here album was on the charts for 37 weeks and managed to stay at the #2 spot for two weeks.

+1342	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The thing to keep in mind about Firesign Theatre is that, even though they're a comedy troupe, they're not really "funny." What they are, however, is brilliantly surreal, absurdist, and stream-of-consciousness.  You have to let this album wash over you.  Perhaps several times.  There are no "jokes," per se, but there are moments of genius lunacy.  The album is about an old actor watching his films on TV.  He changes the channel several times and you get to hear snippets of commercials and other shows.  "Welcome to the world of snails and adventure." is one of my favorites.  Another is near the end of the album when someone says, "MY, MY..."  Even my kids like this album.
+Jimmy, like H. is another rarely-spoken of song and it's actually quite good with catchy riffs and great lyrics and vocals. But again, some might gravitate towards the more popular ones first. Pu**** is weirdly better on the Salival version with powerful-as-hell vocals by Maynard. This version is good but then you hear the live one and go "wow, this one's kind of...better". Aenema is basically a lyrical assault on Los Angeles and the purging of all that is "fake". Musically it's good too but I love reading the lyrics. Third Eye is a huge epic, complete with multiple solos, time signature changes and even a sketch by late comedian Bill Hicks. Even if it's the longest song at 13 minutes, it's rarely, if ever, a boring song.

+This CD showcases Guthrie's amazing versatilty and range as a folk singer. Many of the recordings date from the 1940s (though for sme no recording date exists). Three versions of Guthrie's most famous song, "This Land is Your Land" sit between some two dozen of Guthrie's best and well known songs. The second version includes the "Private Property" lyrics (they weren't included in the original release of the song and they rarely get sung in contemporary performance). There are also songs for children ("Car Song", "Why, O Why?"), songs about World War II, Hitler, Charles Lindbergh (particularly his infamous visit to Hitler and the "America First" organization), the Spanish Civil War ("Jarama Valley"), American landmarks and landscapes ("Grand Coulee Dam", "New York Town", "Pastures of Plenty"), working (the hilarious "Talking Hard Work"), legends ("Jesse James"), lonliness ("Hobo's Lullaby", "I Ain't Got Nobody", "Hard, Ain't it Hard"), tragedies (specifically sunken ships; "When That Great Ship Went Down", "Sinking of the Reuben James"), and even Jesus Christ. Nothing from Guthrie's time seems out of his scope.

+The rollicking title track and the anthem like "Rebel Rebel" provided the album with a couple of hit-singles.

All his albums from the early 70's find him sounding relaxed (not to say not-rocking, there's lots of his high-energy, screaming vocal stuff on here). This is what McCartney sounds like when he's not just trying to put together a hit. There is a lot of variety on this album, and sheer melodic composing genius, with beautiful/strong vocals to the fore.

+Accompanying himself only on piano (and guitar on four songs),  Cale reduces each song to its essence.  His playing ranges from lyrical  ("Style it Takes") to chaotic ("Guts,"  "Fear"), but the overall mood is a reflective one that suits  these songs well.  Most of these compositions, in fact, have never been on  more effective display.  "Chinese Envoy" and "Thoughtless  Kind," both from the dissonant "Music for a New Society"  (1982), are clear and melancholy in this setting, as are "Buffalo  Ballet" and "I Keep a Close Watch."  The three songs from  the uneven, orchestrated "Falklands Suite" are given a much more  forthright interpretation, with "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good  Night" coming out as one of those rare cases of a poem set to music  without being trivialized.  Cale's famous spooky deconstruction of  "Heartbreak Hotel," carried along mostly by a slow, repetitive  piano figure, shows up as well; his previous versions are fine, but this  one squeaks by as the winner.  The closer, Leonard Cohen's  "Hallelujah," also trumps the studio version that appeared on the  Cohen tribute, "I'm Your Fan."  The previous recording seemed  rushed, but here Cale takes his time with the transcendently mournful  lyrics, his voice at points virtually cello-like in its resonance.
+5929	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album will do two things: 1. It will change the way you perceive rock in general; 2. You will be able to understand where all rock from 1969-on came from. It's that good. Disc 1, "In The Studio" has the classic "White Room". If you're reading this review and have never heard this album, and are thinking of buying it, then imagine how you can take a basic one-chord riff, as in Disc 2, on "Spoonful", for 18-plus minutes, and twist, contort, mold it into a type of improvisation that is rarely (if ever) heard today. Just buy it. You won't be disappointed.

+ No other album or artist has done that for me since. Marylyn Manson? Megadeth? Slayer? Mindless poseurs all after the theatrics of "Sweet Thing/Candidate." Of course I couldn't know it at the time, but Bowie was beginning to bridge the gap between the Ziggy character (in retrospect, it seems like this was the album where Ziggy is at last buried forever) and the soon to emerge Philly Soul monger of "Young Americans." The croon Bowie lays into "When You Rock and Roll With Me" and the "Shaft/Superfly" licks in "1984" are the most obvious forays in that direction.

+On a side note. If one owns the 90s Westside pressing of  "Home... Plus" with the plethora of bonuses you may not want to get this album.

+like evolution in super fast forward, one aural reality supersedes another and one situation morphs into another. someone turns on a radio and the broadcast becomes the new foreground that opens the door to yet another dimension. at each point the new reality diminishes the previous setting as its context, and i think firesign was the first comedy troupe to use this effect so systematically. with repeated hearing the sublime timing and humor of the voice acting and lame puns comes into crisp focus and the satire of the whole thing blossoms. a remarkable dramatic presentation, unlike anything else you've ever heard -- unless it was another firesign theater performance.

If anyone out there has a clue what I'm talking about, please post a note here and let me know the name.
+Take advice from  me, this is not Tool's best work (Undertow was), but it's pretty damned  good anyway, and deserves every star it receives.  Keenan's vocals (and  voice in particular) are just the greatest things you're ever going to hear  in your life.  It's almost as if you're hearing the voice of god from a  metal perspective.  The guitars often go every place possible, and try to  make the album like an opus.  Some people may say that the album is hard to  listen to.  If I were you, I'd give it a little while, and it'll definitely  grow on you.  Tool is one of the greatest bands in existance, and you  should show them that.  Every song on the album is beautiful, and only make  more the reason for you to buy it.

+Overall, this album is recommended.  Carlos soars on guitar and Raul Rekow and Karl Perazzo play percussion masterfully.  Chester Thompson is somewhat dwarfed by everyone else, being seldom heard throughout the album, having almost no keyboard solo's in the songs, and one the keys to a great Santana sound is having a solid keyboardist.
+As for the audio, you can't compare the two: the VHS comes nowhere near the quality of the DVD.  I can't compare it to the LD version, but the DVD mix is much more discrete and allows for a better feel for the full range of percussion--though Tony Levin fans might want to turn the bass up a bit; I think the low range was de-emphasized a bit to keep it from taking over.

Although decent on guitar and only fair on drums, the future Sir Paul's true instrumental talents lay in his bass-playing, which shines brightly on this record. "Monkberry Moon Delight" for example, is driven by the bass line.
+  To me this album does a great job of reaching into the heart and using simple and beautfiul melody to show things like the beauty of a morning sunrise or the great bliss of knowing what true love feels like to a heart that is experiencing it. Yes I'm a romantic at heart, but there you have it. Sometimes less is more, far more. In this case, the grand orchestra passages and epic feel of other Yanni albums are not missed, because under Yanni's gentle passionate fingers and their masterful touch, the piano literally sings. This album, simple, gentle and serene, stands on its own merit as one of Yanni's best and most intimate albums ever. Give it a listen. Your heart might sing along too as it hears and feels the romance, gentle passion and, yes, dramatic power in  this work. Peace to all that read this. God bless. :)
+I don't understand how any band can be more of a "Southern Rock Band" than Skynyrd. Skynyrd is the "Standard" when it comes to "Southern Rock". They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. I've been a fan ever since they first came out in the early 1970's. I still have concert ticket stubs from the "original" Ronnie Van Zant version of Skynyrd. I've seen all the various line-ups through the years, and I've always loved every version of Skynyrd. I've heard all the pros & cons about Skynyrd sounding like "Country", & "Country" sounding like Skynyrd, but to me, Skynyrd is as Pure of an American Southern Rock Band, as you can get. Their songs are for all hard working Americans, North, South, East or West, and also for their many fans in other countries. Their songs address "real life" issues". Like Artimus Pyle once said, "Lynyrd Skynyrd is about the Real World", and that tradition continues in this new release.

+This CD isn't just Christmas tunes put to heavy metal. It's so much more than that. There's a softness and innocence, maybe even a reverence, about these arrangements (like on the delicate classical guitar instrumental "The Silent Nutcracker") -- even when such songs are placed back-to-back against tracks like "A Mad Russian's Christmas," which begins with a plaintive piano melody that's soon punctuated by bone-crushing Metallica-esque power chords.
+The studio tracks on 'WoF' are, in my estimation, on a par with 'Disraeli Gears'.  'White Room' is the elite song on the disc, arguably Cream's finest recording, in the same class as 'Sunshine of Your Love' from 'Disraeli Gears'.  While much is made of Felix Pappalardi's violas mixing with the axes, my ears are all tuned to Eric Clapton's wah-pedal guitar burning through each and every break in Jack Bruce's vocals.  The song was paired as a single with 'Those Were the Days' in January of 1969 and rose to number six nationally.  The second best song on the disc doesn't emerge until the final track.  'Deserted Cities of the Heart' is reminiscient of 'World of Pain' from 'Disraeli Gears', albeit with a sped-up tempo.  Sandwiched between are some good songs, and a couple low points.  On the upside we have the familiar Booker T. Jones number, 'Born Under a Bad Sign', and two songs that would eventually be covered by the band on their swan song album, 'Goodbye Cream' as live tracks, 'Politician' and Chester Burnett's 'Sitting On Top of the World'.  Less remarkable are the more laid-back Jack Bruce numbers 'Passing the Time', and 'As You Said', and Ginger Baker's comedy relief offering, 'Pressed Rat and Warthog' (which had been released as the b-side to 'Anyone For Tennis' in May 1968).  Baker does pen one winning track, 'Those Were the Days', supplementing an appealing melody with marimba and tubular bells, and Swiss hand bells.

But not just beautful, records like Katy Lied or Pretzel Logic were fundamental to create the white funk  of people like Hall and Oates or the late-Doobie Brothers(in songs like  What A Fool Believes). Titles like Aja or Gaucho were "just"  marvelous. Songs like Hey Nineteen, with it's grooviest bass and keybord  helped me to like music as a like today. And I was only 10 when I heard Hey  Nineteen for the first time. Well, Fagen's solo debut, The Nightfly, with  the "cousins" of Steely Dan's sound, "IGY" and  "New Frontier" is equally great. Well, what can I say about this  Two Against Nature? A fully Steely Dan record, with the same elements of  the past, and they're untouched by things happened since 1981 (Gaucho's  year). It's very good know pop music may be a genre with quality and free  from a tormented girl's laments about the ex-boyfriend that's gone away.  Well, which words to recomend?

+It's nothing like Uncle Tupelo.  Apples  and Oranges.  What I loved about Anodyne was the sparse, delicate, and  harsh realities it conjured up.  The dark side.  What I love about  "Down By the Old Mainstream" is pretty much the opposite.  For  some albums, the timing has everything to do with it's success, and I think  that the time, or period, in the lives of those who comprise Golden Smog,  was key to it's turn out.  I can listen to this over and over and over  again and never tire of it.  I actually like this one a little better than  Weird Tales, because it seems to encapsulate such a good time.

+Band 11: Richard Tauber - 1933 (3:26) - A segment from the movie "Lilac Time", where the 42 year old Tauber drowns Schubert's "Stndchen" in great dripping gobs of schmalz. There is so much portamento and rubato that I seriously recommend taking Dramamine before viewing.
+The second half of the CD is just as good as the first. Near the end of the disc, we have "Carlos Rossi" which is possibly the best song on the album, featuring the Click (E-40's group from Vallejo) and a tight beat. "Nuttin' Ass Nigga" is a diss towards Mac Dre, and although the beef has been settled these days, back then things weren't as calm. A great song, even if it is towards another one of my favorite rappers.
+Many people claim that they grew up listening to R. Kelly, but when asked what songs are favorites, if you say, "Thoinga Thoing" or "Fiesta", then you're just a YOUNG'UN! Because ten years ago before all that "Pied Piper" hogwash, R. Kelly, bald head and all, had ladies (and fellas) swooning with this, his second album. The classics are all on here like "It Seems Like You're Ready", "Sex Me Pts. I & II", and "Bump n' Grind". The raps that he do on here are also an improvement off of his first album. One big classic. Check it out. -EJR

But while the album may be considered pop, it in my opinion it  is everything but.  It makes me wonder how many people enjoying  Supernatural now had ever heard of Oye Como Va.  But I think that's why  this album is so popular, because it satisfies his old fans but with his  collaberations, it incorporates new fans.  Now I will admit I am a 20 year  old fan whose dad turned me on to his older work, and this cd is not as  good as his past work.  But with Santana there is a pretty high celling to  reach on this cd.  But Santana can still make the guitar sing and it shows  on this cd.  The best songs on here are the ones where there are no lyrics  and you can fully hear the riffs and hear the great talent of Santana.  I  thank Lauryn Hill for bringing him back in the spotlight and hooking him up  with some of the collaborators on this cd.  I love Smooth, and Put your  Lights On, but  I love all the songs.  Rather you are a new fan or a old  you will like this album.  It is one of my favorites and it is one of the  few cds I think deserve 5 stars.  But if you are new(or mabye even an  old)fan I encourage you to listen to his older cds, or at least his  greatest hits, because his earlier work derserves 6 if not more, but this  cd is still a great pickup!

When I first heard Phife's solo joint butter, I thought that was his best solo cut until I heard 8 Million Stories. Fire is the only way I can describe that track. Award Tour was great first single because it gives you exactly what you're going to get from this album: quality hip hop. Sucka N---- is Q-tip's explanation for the infamous "N" word. Electric Relaxation is one of the best hip hop song for ladies ever. Phife Dawg steals the show on Oh My God while Busta Rhymes provides the rowdy hook. As far as flaws don't even play yourself like that. This album is a classic in every sense of the word. The production is great and Phife Dawg and Q-Tip flowed well from track to track. Recommended?

+I can't say enough about this CD. It's the kind of album that comes along truly once in a lifetime. Even if TSO never tops this performance (The Christmas Attic and Beethoven's Last Night are noble efforts, but they don't hold a candle to this album), they will have served us well by creating Christmas Eve and Other Stories -- one of my favorite CDs of all time.
+On its original vinyl release, the album's two sides were dramatically different from each other.  The first side was largely in the rock vein, expanding upon the work of "Station to Station" but refining it to a much tighter and cleaner structure.  The claustrophobic feel is still there, but the pieces are briefer and a bit more diverse structurally, be it the jaunty instrumentals that open and close the side (rhythmically odd opener "Speed of Life" and harmonica and funky piano driven closer "A New Career in a New Town"), paranoid explosion "Breaking Glass", post-punk/proto-industrial "What in the World" and "Sound and Vision" (check out the bright synths and hissing air noises-- it took the rest of the industry over a decade to catch up to this), or chugging, passionate Enoesque pop ("Be My Wife").  Bottom line, this is probably the best, most forward looking music of its era.

By the time this video hit the stores, things were back to being uneasy in the band again, with Criss and Frehley both to get kicked to the curb again.  But the backstage footage is kind of interesting, as is the footage of all the prep work for the tour.  You'll see footage of Pete and Gene trying on their old '70s costumes in Gene's house.

Is there really anything Latin about "Waiting For Tonight" or "Livin' La Vida Loca"? I'm  serious! (Excuse me while I digress here, but you want real Latin music try  the "Buena Vista Social Club" album! It's great! It's a classic!  It was recorded by a bunch of 90 year old Cubans!  Or better yet, if you  haven't seen the film "Buena Vista Social Club", please rent it  tonight. Awesome. THAT'S Latin music for ya!) Which brings me to the point  of this review: "Supernatural" also is Latin music! And it goes  beyond "Smooth"! Heard those Lauryn Hill or Dave Matthews songs?  Great. "Smooth" has conga drums in it! And the guitar part could  have been lifted straight from "Black Magic Woman" (remember  that? Way back in the sixties? Oh wait. Sorry. I forgot. Most fans of this  album probably have absolutely no idea who Carlos Santana IS! If you  haven't picked up his older stuff I strongly recommend it. Especially  "Evil Ways"!

+5252	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album, released in 1997, is not his first. Actually he had an album, under the nickname Tung Twista a few years earlier - that album made some people pay attention to Twista style, but it wasn't a bug success... On "Adrenaline Rush" - it's a whole other story. This album came about an year after Twista made huge impression on Do Or Die's album "Picture This", where he totally ripped it on the 3 songs he appeared on (he completely stole the show on that album). Adrenaline Rush is a true classic, one of those albums that change the game, come out with a different sound. The world had heard Bone Thugs and Harmony even before that, but I think Twista has been doing this speed-rapping before that. Actually it doesn't really matter who STARTED it, the question is who is the BEST doing it. And here the answer is plain and simple - Twista. Tha boy is just amazing - he raps so fast, yet if you listen, you can understand every single word he's saying (unlike Bizzy Bone for example). The production is handled by The Legendary Traxter, and like on "Picture This" it's remarkable (even better than Picture This). The bass is very thick, some great keyboards all over. Some of the songs are pure gangsta sh**, while some of them are laid-back, with an R&B sound to them (yet they DON'T sound cheese or corny). The beats just fit Twista's style perfectly, and you can listen to it from beginning to the end without skipping a track. Too bad this album is so short, but hey - back in the days rappers didn't release 20+ tracks albums full of filler stuff like they do these days. The album is short, but perfect. The album went gold (I think), and if you want to hear Twista even before his nationwide success with his album "Kamikaze" you should listen to "Adrenaline Rush". Twista has been in the game for more than a decade, and I'm really happy he gets the recognition (and money) he deserves. Better late than never.

Anyone who is interested in either David Bowie or the glam rock era of the 1970s will find this film essential.  For one, it is the only film document of David Bowie's Ziggy/glam phase and for another it is the "last concert" with "the Spiders" including Mick Ronson, who was a part of Bowie's band since the 1969 album "Space Oddity" up until '73's "Pin Ups".  Bowie would, by 1974, have a new back up band, as well as a new look.  This film deserves preservation on DVD as the historical document that it is.

That is my opinion, but I had all of the early music on LP and was still in High School in 1970.  There will only be an Elton John once in my life time and that entire era is long gone now, so I would suggest that you collect as much of the music from these artists as you can.

Starting off is Eschucheme, a litin tinged uptempo track that really gets this album off to a great start, and it all gets better from there. Every Time I Fall is a catchy pop jam that is easily one of the best songs on the album. Where se really shines are on the ballads. She sings all songs effortlessly and creates beautiful emotional ballads that other female singers wish they could sing. Most noteably is the stunning duet with latin sensation Luis Fonsi on Come As You Are,(originally recorded by female trio Wild Orchid) probably one of the best ballads recorded. With its inspirational lyrics and lovely harmonies this track stands above all the rest. Just A Prayer Away is an amazing song that ends the album. It's a powerehouse ballad with a gospel chorus in the background. This is such a brilliant song sung beautifully, and it will leave you wanting more.

The question I pose today is, which is Tribe's best album?
+As to drawbacks of the DVD/film itself, to me there aren't many.  I'd have liked a somewhat longer concert, but this is apparently the entire concert as played that day, at that festival.  One of the songs - a Mike Pinder composition called "The Sunset" shows only the crowd as we hear the audio portion.  It would have been nice to see the band during "The Sunset", but I'm guessing that the video portion of the band was lost or not recorded, while the audio recording was preserved.  If so, then I applaud the decision to include the song as an "audio only" plus crowd scenes (rather than a blank screen) - better to include the song that way, then to drop it entirely.  Also, some people object to the final song using visuals from both the day's concert performance as well as earlier ones; I understand that objection, but I actually think the "video montage" works well for one song (I'm glad they didn't do the entire DVD that way, however) - and it IS the proper audio track for that song (i.e. the one they performed at the Isle of Wight that day).

Except for Bob Dylan, I had never found another songwriter who could match these songs for complete lyrical brilliance, and here, many years later, still have not. Many singer-songwriters write songs that are crafted for their own particular styles, and the songs do not travel well to other performers. But Dylan and Cohen's songs as good or better when performed by others, proving that these two are not just great performers, but writers of truly great songs. The true mark of being a great songwriter is that the songs travel well into new contexts and into the performances of other singers and groups.

"In My Neighborhood" leads the album off as Spice gives us his perspective as a news reporter of some sort as also found on "Welcome To The Ghetto".  As a highlight of this release, "187 Proof" is a clever topic of liquor labels as characters of the graphic tale over deep 808 kicks.  Taking a blend of jazz piano tones as Spice 1 adds reggae flavor to complete the effectiveness of "East Bay Gangsta".  Maintaining creativity with style and finess, Spice stutter steps over the horn section and looped guitar licks on "Money Gone".  The hotlines "1-900-Spice" is quite brief with hard 808 kicks as "1-800-Spice" is a complete reggae tune as he answer questions from callers.  "Peace To My Nine" is a dedication to his weapon of choice, a 9mm by saying "...and before I end this rhyme / I'd like to say peace to my m****f*****' nine..."  "Young N****" is an example of an inner city juvenile following the street life.  "F***** In The Game" is an upbeat track containing guitar licks and dragged bass looped to compliment Spice's delivery.  "187 Pure" contains the same format as "187 Proof" except drugs were the main characters in this plot.  Highly criticied about gangster rap's negativity, but there is always another side, another light that should be made public.

+3447	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	I love the first three Santana albums to death, Carlos Santana is one of my favorite guitarists of all time, and I've always enjoyed reading interviews with him, as his thoughts are insightful and refreshing. However, Santana's big-selling comeback, Supernatural is a big disappointment. Instead of fiery hot instrumentals and jazzy piano-led songs that Santana did so well back in the early days, there's an abundance of annoying pop songs with appearances by one hit wonder musicians. The only song on Supernatural that features a worthwhile musician is Santana's duet with Eric Clapton, which is actually a memorable jam. Basically all the other duets are with untalented, one hit wonder singers/songwriters like Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 ("Smooth") or even more forgettably, some guy from the band Eagle Eye Cherry. Supernatural could have been a good album if Santana had jammed with timeless, talented musicians like B.B. King or Ray Charles (RIP) or Stevie Wonder. Unfortunately, he let the greedy dudes at the record company make the choices, something that, though made him a lot richer, possibly sacrificed his integrity.

Nice 5.1 mix overall, with nice instrument placement discretely in separate channels to give that great 'enveloped in music' experience.  However, I find the rear/surround channels to be too loud, compared to all my other SACD mutlichannel discs, to the point where it is very distracting and I need to decrease the volume of those speakers.  Not a huge deal but a hassle nonetheless to adjust my speaker system just when listening to Elton John.
+As much as the music is ecumenical in its inspiration, it is equally ecumenical in its usage of musical instruments. For sure, human musicians and various fauna species peacefully coexist in this joyous music. With only moderately careful listening, you can also experience the inventive coexistence of sitar, electric bass and a battery of world percussion with the more usual instruments in the Paul Winter Consort (if oboe, English horn, cello and pipe organ can be called "usual") as well as all of the outstanding singing by the remarkable Ms. Osborn and the chorus of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The electric bass riff in "The Promise of a Fisherman" (based on the Afro-Brazilian chant "Iemanja") stands out, and adds further testimony to Paul Winter's own musical ecumenicism.

+During the period 1933-1934, Furtwngler was constantly helping Jewish people so that Georg Gerullis, ministerial director at the Ministry of Culture sent a letter to Goebbels saying: "Can you name me a Jew on whose behalf Furtwngler has not intervened?"[12] Because of his international renown, he was appointed as the first vice-president of the Reichsmusikkammer and Staatsrat of Prussia. He accepted these honorific positions only in order to try to bend the racial policy of Nazis in music and to support Jewish musicians.[13] On 25, November 1934, he wrote a letter in the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung to support Hindemith's art, a degenerate artist for the Nazis and conducted a piece of Hindemith's opera Mathis der Maler.[14] This unleashed a storm, the Nazis understood that all their opponents were behind Furtwngler. He was then forced to resign from all his positions.[15] In 1936 it seemed possible that he might follow Erich Kleiber's footsteps into exile when he was offered the principal conductor's post at the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, where he would have succeeded Arturo Toscanini. Toscanini's biographer Harvey Sachs wrote that Toscanini recommended Furtwngler for the position, one of the few times Toscanini expressed admiration for a fellow conductor.[16] There is every possibility that Furtwngler would have accepted the post,[17] but a report from the Berlin branch of the Associated Press, possibly ordered by Hermann Gring, said that he was willing to take up his post at the Berlin Opera once more. This caused the mood in New York to turn against him; from their point of view, it seemed that Furtwngler was now a full supporter of the Nazi Party.[18] In addition, Grove Online notes that he was "personally unpopular" with the orchestra's board, whom he had treated disrepectfully when he conducted the orchestra in 1925-27; influential boards were unknown in German orchestras at the time.

+9231	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Tool is one of the few bands that can indulge in artistic excesses and still retain tremendous commercial success, which I think is kind of strange. And while I say "excesses," a term usually chained to denigrating interpretations, I must emphasize that Tool's artistic nature is perhaps their most striking quality. Combining an alterna-metal aesthetic with more progressive, explorative tendencies, they are decidedly unique. And they aren't just being esoteric and weird. For music fans who like a challenge, Tool presents a worthwhile package. Before discovering Tool, I was among the many who disdainfully rejected them as a lame "grunge" or "alternative metal" band, but their mosaic of musical textures creates something that dodges pigeonholing. I strongly encourage those with a liking for heavy music to check them out, because they probably aren't what you expect.

"H." is a dark, melodic guitar-driven tune highlighted by Adam Jones' expressive guitar work that sounds a little bit like Black Sabbath and King Crimson backed by Carey's gymnastic drum-style. "Useful Idiot" is a forty-second instrumental that sounds like soft percussion sounds backing soft electrical sparks that serves as an intro to the bass-driven "Forty-Six & 2" that is highlighted by Chancellor's bass intro along with Carey's diverse drum-style w/ beautiful percussion sounds, Jones powerful guitar charges, and Keenan's powerful vocals.

+9050	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	Beatle John's first solo album was a collaboration with soon-to-be-wife Yoko Ono (an avant-garde, conceptional artist whom he met while attending one of her exhibits in 1966). Obviously, she must have re-kindled Lennon's art-school passions as he would eventually divorce then-wife Cynthia in November of '68, subsequently marry Yoko, and thus carry on a solo career that would play off her influence just as Yoko's solo career would play of his influence. Their love for each other, for art, and for their unique musical vision complimented each other perfectly (or, at the very least, inspired their various interests). The initial indication of this "new partnership" was found on The Beatles' "WHITE ALBUM" with the track "Revolution 9": a bizarre but intriguing sound collage that is in itself as apocalyptic as "SGT. PEPPER'S" own climatic "A Day In The Life" (though coming from an entirely different direction). "TWO VIRGINS" builds upon "Revolution 9"'s audio explorations. It is simply a half-hour piece of "non-music" music: a weird yet humorous (at one point, after Yoko chortles a scream, you can hear John comment: "That's right, dear. Spit it out!") pastiche of sound that gives an aural portrait of the couple at that time. Surprisingly, it has aged better than expected, and doesn't seem so "strange" nearly forty years later. The first half is undoubtedly better conceived than the second: with a neat sounding bird call motif, unusual instrumental touches, and silly exchanges between John and Yoko. The second side is relatively bland except for the mock Gregorian chant coda. But the real test of a work like this (since it isn't a genuine "musical" piece in the conventional sense) must be based on its own terms as a document of sound art (i.e. "Is it engaging? Does it hold your interest? Does it stand up to repeated listenings? Does it achieve what the author's intended? etc.) Regardless of public opinion, "TWO VIRGINS" does not hold up as a collage. It is only intermittingly interesting, and doesn't engage the listener or make one want to hear it over and over again. But the measure of its worth is easy to assimilate by comparison (i.e. all thirty minutes of "TWO VIRGINS" isn't even half as good as all eight-plus minutes of Beatle John's "Revolution 9"). By far, the best thing about the whole project is the technical brilliance of the lo-fi production. The splicing, editing, and sound effects remains the strongest aspect of the LP; and one wishes that John has continued to apply such techniques in a REAL musical setting. He could have rivaled Frank Zappa in that department.
+Her interpretation of Bob Hilliard and David Mann's composition "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning" is so hauntingly heart-rending that it moved me to tears! And as I listen to her rendition of this evocative song, I remember the way Frank Sinatra sung it with so much passion. So my vote goes to Sinatra's version for the best male vocals and Simon's version for the best female vocals. On the liner notes Ms. Simon reflected on Frank Sinatra and I quote:
+Overall, "Uncle Meat" is a challenging, eclectic listen, full of lots of twists and turns, that leave an involved listener on the edge of his or her seat, and out of breath at the end. The experience is unique to say the least and unforgettable. Its an experience that I am happy to return to, time and time again, and feel is essential to any Prog lover's collection, and certainly an album that no self-respecting Zappa fan can be without.

+'Mary Magdalene at the feet of Christ' is a rare gem of Baroque sacred music by Antonia Caldara (1670-1736), who ranks among the most prolific of the late-baroque composers associated with the Oratorio. Building upon established traditions, the Venetian composer, who was a master of the genre, achieves an astounding dramatic instensity in this work. The Oratorio as a musical form emerged toward the end of the 17th century as a kind of spiritual exercise encouraged by the 'Oratorio Congregation of Rome'.  The most prolific composer in this genre was Caldara, who wrote approximately 43 oratorios, and no doubt many more have been lost.
+The other songs are great too, but as they are much easier to imagine how they will work out in an acoustic version I don't write about it.  Obviously there are some songs I find boring, and there are lot of songs I wish were included, but the DVD is a 4 STAR.

+From 1900 to WWI,  tonal harmony got deconstructed and eventually destroyed by Schoernberg and his students, Webern and Berg.  Stravinsky and Bartok used this freedom to create new tonalities, like octotonicism and symmetrical harmony.  Between the World Wars, many composers, like Copland and Villa-Lobos, turned towards the traditional music of their homeland for inspiration.  After WWII, Cage and Brown worked under a philosophy that came to be called indeterminacy, in which the very idea of what music was came to be questioned.  In the late 20th century, the climate of "classical" chamber music was a rediscovery of tonality and a turn towards minimalism.  Composers like Glass and Reich took cues from meditative music from different cultures to create complex textures that were composed of very simple parts.
+What music!  Music  never heard on a five-minute song before...horns with real Jazz textures!  The big band sensibility all around! ..but there to back up a completely  different sensibility! The composers' sensibilty which also happens to be  this listener's!

+4792	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	As has been noted here by others, there are many reunion albums that are either desperate attempts to get attention, or, worse, attempts to cash in on nostalgia.  Two Against Nature is neither.  Two Against Nature is simply  about art.  It took Fagen and Becker 4-6 years to finish it.  It was surely  an overwhelming challenge, because the apparent goal was to out-do their  best work from the 1970s.  It's too early to say if they actually achieved  this goal (top Aja?  top Katy Lied?) but this is a more than honorable  effort.  They worked much, much harder than they needed to, if all they  cared about was the cash.  Two Against Nature is a sincere shot at  greatness.  The music is an evolution of their style, not just a rehash.  Some of the music is quite challenging to the ear (Gaslighting Abbie, the  title tune, Negative Girl).  There are at best 3 songs here that would work  on radio (and they're great, especially Cousin Dupree).  The lyrics create  all the puzzles that inspire lunatics to spend years parsing them (if you  don't believe me, check out the web site entitled "Fever  Dreams.")  And the music is sublime. I want to call attention to one  song on this album that will surely rank with their greatest moments. The  fast-paced closing song, "West of Hollywood" ends with a lengthy  sax solo by Chris Potter that rides over the most baffling, unpredictable  and thrilling series of chord changes I've heard assembled.  If you aren't  a musician, you don't know how difficult it is to solo over a crazy pattern  like this.  The attempt to make it work is typical of Steely Dan's  daredevil approach to music.  The fact that, in fact, it DOES work,  demonstrates their genius, and the genius of their associates.  If for no  other reason, this album deserves elevation for that song.

+To those of you complaining about the video compared to the VHS version, I have both and I've watched them closely:  The VHS is full-screen and cuts off the edges.  The DVD is not a cropping.  The picture in the DVD is a little darker, but a whole lot sharper.

The Other songs on the cd have some clear Guns Roses influences as well but they are usually not the dominant thing in the songs that would be Scott Weiland in my opinion. I think that Scott was already trying to lead Stone Temple Pilots in a similiar direction Velvet Revolver takes on this cd based on listening to the bonus track on Thank You (stp's greatest hits) thats just my opinion though listen to it and decide for yourself if it does or doesnt sound like he was leaning that direction before he even joined VR(all in the suit that you wear).

+5821	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Rocks first super group was on the verge of imploding as Wheels of Fire was released in the summer of 1968. Cream was at best a short term proposition anyway with the volatile relationship between Bruce and Baker being held together by Clapton.  One of the biggest bands in the world at the time of their self imposed demise, this album proved that success doesnt buy happiness as it immediately hit the top of the charts in the US. It is ironic that as Cream were having their inter-band squabbles; their chief rival in terms of being another power trio with phenomenally talented musicianship, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, was also having their own difficulties at maintaining harmony. Incidentally, Wheels was one of the first successful double albums, predating the Beatles White Album by a few short months but unlike the latter, the Cream record was one side studio, one side live. The studio side is worthy of comparison to the other great Cream discs though Clapton doesnt have a composition or lead vocal credit but there is no doubt he was the driving force behind blues adaptations Sitting on Top of the World and Born Under a Bad Sign.  His guitar is as majestic as ever and his solos on White Room added to the legend as this became, for many, Creams signature tune.  White Room also saw the apogee of Jack Bruces songwriting partnership with Pete Brown along with Politician and Deserted Cities of the Heart. Ginger Baker contributed a true psychedelic curiosity in Pressed Rat and Warthog as each member made lasting and memorable contributions on the studio LP. The live LP featured Cream in all their improvisational glory and must have contributed to thousands of young virtuoso wannabes practicing day and night in the hope that they could one day emulate their heroes. Crossroads remains one rocks greatest tracks and one of the definitive Eric Clapton jams, absolutely stunning! Spoonful and Toad are stretched out beyond belief while Bruce gets to shine on harmonica on Traintime. Cream may not have created the extended guitar or drum solo, but it is hard to argue that they didn't have a major influence in how heavy rock concerts would be performed in the coming decades. Wheels of Fire would not be official last album by the band but it was a true flexing of the muscles as Cream put their personal turmoil aside and delivered a performance for the ages.believe Im sinking down.

In my opinion, though, Ram is his best effort (at least in pre-Wings period). All of the songs are interesting and the record is diverse and entertaining. Highlights: the melody of 'Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey' and 'Dear Boy', the country-inspired 'Heart Of The Country', the rocking 'Monkberry Moon Delight' and the closer 'The Back Seat Of My Car' with its hymn-mood.

In a year that saw the Stones' "Sticky Fingers," Led Zeppelin's Fourth  album, and other big records from T. Rex and Rod Stewart, Elton John's records were holding their own by being a little elevated, more lush, more crafted, sensitive & thougtful. "Madman Across the Water" is 2/3 as great a record as Elton's two previous studio LPs, and that's saying a lot. His voice still has the warmth of "Elton John" and "Tumbleweed Connection," and the songs were really a soundtrack of the times, alternately life-affirming, then bitter and cynical. But Elton came along at a time when rock music was getting ready to lose some of its cultural daring in favor of big sales and mass and niche marketing. Elton must have felt the pressure, or perhaps wanted to take the bait. After this record, he ditched the orchestral arrangements, pulled back from art-school-poetic lyricism and started up the road to AM radio omnipresence. "Honky Cat" was next; "Crocodile Rock" wasn't far behind. Some of us found him a lot less interesting.

"Speak Low" isn't a standard, really, it's a Broadway tune also recorded and released in '93 by Barbra Streisand. Same song, really different versions. Tom Scott did one hell of a production job on this release. Diane is bathed in strings, each ballad carefully arranged, Jeremy Lubbock appears here to meld electronics with strings, as he does, and it works well without sounding too dated.  The opening track. "When I Fall In Love" gives the listener an idea of what's in store, the glorious swelling of strings suggest a big, open sound and Diane's perfect pitch, perfect music.

+researchers spent years combing the vaults for additional outtake footage, and what they found simply blows the mind.  In addition to the complete 8:30 Wembley show featuring three superb tracks not seen in the film, the entire 5:30 matinee show was also found.  Although the setlist is the same, it is fascinating to compare the two: the matinee performance features Bolan in a fetching blue outfit, being ever-so-slightly more reserved and serious in his playing (but still a total fireball), while the evening show is rife with delirious over-the-top abandon, Bolan laughing it up and showing off for the crowd, knowing he is king of UK pop.  Both shows are amazing in their own fashion and although the same songs are played, several of the performances differ  ("Cadillac" and "Get It On" feature very different guitar jams, while "Cosmic Dancer" is Finn-less in the matinee show).
+"See See Rider" (1966).  I really enjoyed listening to the Animals cover Ma Rainey's classic hit from the early part of the century.  It's different from her version, but works pretty well on its own.  The rhythm section lays down a nice foundation, and the organ fills well.  Burdon's voice finishes the picture.  Quite an effective cover of a classic blues tune.
+Nonetheless, Guthrie was a songwriter of startling orginality. His lyrics alone comprise one of the most impressive collections in popular music history. Their themes and subjects trace back to the themes of early American folk music. Guthrie sat comfortably in this tradition. But Guthrie stuck mostly to his times, and he absorbed the times and the people, especially the disenfranchised, and the legends of his own time. He wrote about the down and out, about scandals, about tragedies, and human nature.
+The Albert Hall shows were recorded in their entirety in audio, but not on film. The cameras were only there for the second night, and even then were not at work for a section of the show. So, we're missing Ian Gillan's 'Via Miami' & 'That's Why God's Singing The Blues', and more frustratingly Steve Morse's 'Night Meets Light' & 'Take It From The Top'.

+Another problem with this DVD is the overall production. The sound quality here is just plain awful! It sounds like a really bad "made for TV" concert movie. To add insult to injury the cinematographer chose to "impress us" with circa 1979 "state of the art" visual effects. By today's standards they are ugly, distracting, and annoying.

Odessey & Oracle was merely a recommendation to me based on my musical preferences, but when I sampled it, I knew there was something very special about this short-lived British 60s group.  I will tell you one thing right now:  I love 60s Brit bands, but where the Dave Clark Five seemed like so much excessive Beatles wannabe confetti, and the Hollies could go from awesome to repellent in 0.5 seconds, the Zombies were indeed underrated, overly talented, and nothing short of brilliant.
+9340	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I was talking about Frank Zappa with a co-worker of mine the other day, and he broke into song.  The song was Penguin in Bondage.  I congratulated him on his obscure choice, as most people would have probably broken into I'm the Slime or Don't Eat the Yellow Snow.  I then thought about this album, and it's one of Frank's more memorable ones.  I do like Penguin in Bondage, a funny parody of a blues song.  I love the music from the song Cheepnis, and the vocals.  I don't share Frank's love of s***ty monster movies, so the lyrics leave something to be desired.  But Frank adored the cheesy, cheap monster movies from the 1950's, so if he dug 'em, to each his own I suppose.  The best song is the incredibly intricate instrumental Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?.  This is one of my favorite Zappa instrumentals, and I always look forward to it whenever I break out this album.  George Duke's electric piano solo is quite beautiful.  Be-Bop Tango (of the Old Jazzmen's Church) would have probably been better if I was at the concert, as Frank is conducting the band and choreographing people on the stage at the same time.  It would have been lovely to listen to and to witness.  Overall, an excellent addition to the Zappa catalogue, even though there are others which are better.

As if in spiteful opposition, Bruce Thomas plays as if he's creeping up to push the shiv in.

After completing the project, Bowie was denied legal rights by Orwell's widow. The glam rock king then reworked the music to avoid copyright infringements (although a few key phrases such as "Big Brother" and "We Are the Dead" have stayed) and added a few of the trashy, frisky rock and roll songs he had recently become known for (Rebel Rebel, Rock `N Roll With Me).

+What makes RAM superior to McCartney's first solo effort is the inclusion of other musicians (and not just novice Linda, who got equal billing here). Although decent on guitar and only fair on drums, the future Sir Paul's true instrumental talents lay in his bass-playing, which shines brightly on this record. "Monkberry Moon Delight" for example, is driven by the bass line.

+By Track 15 ("When I Was Young"), Eric Burdon had moved to the west coast, assembled a new band and commenced the obligatory attempt at psychedelic pop rock.  Though not quite disastarous, this material almost completely replaces the raw whiskey and cigarette grit of The Animals' early stuff with saccharine, cringe-inducing, and ultimately woefully dated odes to the hippy dippy love fest that was late-'60s San Francisco scene.  Again, this is not a total disaster, as "Anything" is suprisingly delicate and endearing and the baffling "Sky Pilot" manages to squeeze a bit of emotional grit and interesting fuzzy guitar out of inferior material.

+8008	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I myself prefer the normal key but in this recording they've shifted the notes up 1/16 octave. It makes it sound a lot like Vivaldi, and not like the classical Bach I have come to know and like. It's still appreciable though, and the last concerto on the disc is of superb interpretation. Another kudos to them: the 2nd movement of the Concerto No. 1 in A Minor (track 5) is the best I have ever heard. Fabulous. Overall, a recommended disc if you don't own a Bach violin concerto collection yet. However, for the classically minded, the shift up 1/16 octave can distort how Bach intended for it to sound. For that reason you may want to look into some great performances (there are many) by Itzhak Perlman and Isaac Stern that are a bit less creative but no less spectacular.

Daisy Eagan (what a talent!) singing "Broadway Baby" like its never been sung before.  And one of my all time favorites, the glorious Bernadette Peters... who seems to have been blessed and cursed by hitching her star to Sondheim musicals that go bust.

Tebaldi is radiant and charming and completely at ease in front of the cameras and being in her mid 30's she is in prime voice. Bjorling is the ideal Rodolfo. This is from the same year as his recording of Boheme and his performance is fantastic. His acting is quite natural and doesn't do anything more or less than necessary. Charles Laughton's heartfelt and personal introduction to the Bjorling/Tebaldi performance was obviously in his own words. Boris Christoff goes all out in his Boris performance which may seem overdone on the small screen but there's no denying the quality of the vocal performance. Corelli's Non piangere,Liu finds the great tenor in his best voice. Gigli,Schipa,DiStefano,Vickers,Wunderlich,DeLosAngeles and Sutherland all sound wonderful and Vickers has a couple of interesting comments. Olivero's Vissi D'arte is incomplete as is the Parigi o cara from Callas and Kraus.

With just one album behind him, SRV takes the stage at this legendary Toronto club and wins a room full of new converts.  Of course, it goes without saying that the guitar playing is the main focus, and Stevie turns in a typical performance - that is to say, he plays the ax with such wizardry that 99.9978% of us can only watch with our jaws down on the floor.  Watching SRV in such an early performance, I was surprised to see that he had already found the distinctive sound he would forever be known by.  The last time I got to see the master, I was late for an Astrodome show featuring the Fabulous Thunderbirds, SRV, and the Who.  Running inside to find my seat, I could hear the crowd roaring.  Oh, no, I thought, I've missed the opening acts entirely and the Who is already on stage.  Turning the corner, though, I saw Stevie Ray, wailing away, with 40,000 people in the palm of his hands.

It's great for anyone who likes crazy guitars, interesting lyrics, and heart pounding drums. It's something to listen to out of the ordinary for a change. The CD booklet has two complex messages you can read while the art is something else. The actual jewel case itself has a 3D appearance and the artwork moves so it's extra appealing to the eye. 5-6 of the tracks on this album are hit singles and are stilk actually played on the radio today. It's nice to have more than one or two hits on an album. This shows that although Aenima is from 1996 their songs are just as popular today twenty years later.

Sweet Thing, Candidate and Sweet Thing (Reprise) could be Bowie's most thrashy and paranoid suite since he released The Man Who Sold the World. Although the revisions left with the album with a partial story -one which was likely pretty complicated- leading to some confusing parts and lyrical blah, Diamond Dogs is still an excellent look at the darker side of Bowie's imagination.

+"Penguin in Bondage" is a hilarious view of sexual deviance, made somehow more so due to the restraints of having the performance recorded for television broadcasts; since he could not resort to outright raunch, the lyrics are peppered with strange, suggestive images (ie: kleenex on a coat-hang wire), and the song becomes a surrealistic goof on the whole 70s S&M phenomena.  Zappa later pays homage to creature features of the 50s and 60s in "Cheepnis", a love letter to all those who ever sat out late night movies on TV just to look for costume zippers, 2x4s on fake cave sets, and visible nylon strings on giant insects.

I am just so totally disappointed but this non-sense album. This so-called "masterpiece" is the quintessential late 60's, LSD laden chaos that people that went to college during those tumultuous years find funny, but everyone else just shakes their heads and turns it off after 1 minute. It was recorded during a time when everything revolved around social disobedience, wild discussions, drugs and wild orators like MLK, Upton Sinclair, Timothy Leary, etc. Anyone under the age of 50 will find this CD completely incomprehensible and boring.
+On first listen, Two Against Nature may appear slick and shallow, but only to listeners who don't know how to listen.  "Gaslighting Abbie," "Almost Gothic," "Cousin Dupree", or the whole damn album for that matter show Becker and Fagen at the top of their game. If you think this is mere, dull pop pap, listen to the time signiture changes, the shifting chord voicings, or the way the genius twins end their numbers by letting the sax section eccho just long enough to form the perfect exit.

You expect a lot out of  an album with three #1 singles, and this one delivers. While no other song  matches the brilliance of the title track, nearly all the songs are  classics.
+"gold and the blues" is the weak point on the album (and the whole CD).  It's an overlong blues rock song, and it feels like there's too much guitar playing.  I know that's a strange complaint, but luckily there's some good keyboard work near the middle of the song to save it.  Finally you have "things gonna change some" which is a wonderful speedy jazzy song with vocals like the Guess Who.  The members of the Guess Who wouldn't be able to keep up with this, though.

In this video, Christopher Walken plays the angel of death. Let me just say this is a great video for a not so great song. It made it so much better with Christopher's prescense. Note: He got way too much attention for FatBoy Slim's "Weapon Of Choice" where he ridiculously dances in a hotel. He got zero attention for "Bad Girl". Other highlights in this collection is the groundbreaking "Rain"; the color was hand painted on the black and white film,"Bedtime Story"; an otherworldly Grimms fairy tale clip, complete with Madonna's facial features switched around,"Frozen"; great color and great effects. Madonna clones roam the desert, Madonna transforms into a dog and a flock of blackbirds. "Ray Of Light", a video at full speed. I don't think theres another video like it. This collection is well woth it, although it could have came with some extras like behind the scenes commentary.

+4318	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This DVD only has 14 song videos and no extras, but that's fine.  I practically love every video here.  And this is unusual for me because I don't usually care for any kind of pop music since probably about 1986.  But, Madonna was definitely an important icon of eighties pop music.  I love all of Madonna's pop hits of the eighties so, of course, I have her Immaculate Collection on CD.  However, I had to pass on her first music video collection, the Immaculate Collection of the eighties.  I'm sorry but it just seems that that video collection is directed more towards women and gays.  Plus I didn't care for the visual concept she created for "Like a Prayer".  I love the song, I even envisioned Madonna creating some sort of video with sexy scantily clad nuns, which would have created even more controversy that would upset the church.  Usually I like videos and songs that put God and sex together as if sex and religion belong together. I believe sexual decadence could be a religion in itself.  Spirituality, sexual exploitation and the joy of life can easily be one and the same.  Choosing sexual control and denial of your inner perverse fantasies is like not appreciating God's gift of tapping into all your errogenous zones.  If God didn't want you to explore them, then He wouldn't have given them to you to explore.  Some people think that being religious means that you must make sacrifices and be miserable.
+ This album's success is completely deserved, as it is the most accessible work Springsteen has recorded, both before and since. The success of "The River"'s first single "Hungry Heart" definitely paved the way for the overly glossy sound that permeates "Born In The USA", and the radio-friendly synth riffs of "Dancing In The Dark", "Glory Days", the title track, and "I'm On Fire" (which would have been more at home on the eternally classic "Nebraska" album that preceded this one) lent themselves well to a series of video clips that put Springsteen on regular MTV rotation and introduced him to a new generation of fans.

+Then there's the filming.  Murray Lerner's crew was, well, about as big as your immediate family.  There was no Sky Cam.  You had a camera here, one there, one someplace else.  They pivoted when the person holding them did.  OK, not that home-movie primitive, but essentially a hand operation.  Rock gigs weren't mass merchandise yet, and you couldn't buy plane, hotel and concert tix on the Internet (something that makes the enormous gatherings at places like Monterey, Woodstock and the Isle even more amazing in retrospect and attests to the pangenerational power of the infant Rock).  So big technology wasn't being catered to, even to the extent it existed at the time, because the big money wasn't there yet to cater to it.  (I once bought a Led Zeppelin ticket from a scalper.  For twenty bucks.  That kind of money is what we're talking about here.)  Filming the Stones or the Who was like filming a Vietnam firefight, only without the ordnance.
+Baby's First Christmas - Connie Francis
+As for the songs, they are all drawn from the older albums. The concert features such strong tracks as Save Me, Play The Game, I'm in Love With My Car, Under Pressure and Somebody To Love.
+A half rocking soul glam album and half concept album. In that order. Side A is really just a straight up rock n' roll album with poetic lyrics sung in that white plastic Soul voice he would coin in the following years. As mentioned the lyrics are pure poetry, and truly some of the mans all time best. Some of his more honest and heartfelt lines can be heard in such songs as 'Sweet Thing' and 'Candidate.' But some of the lyrics are overtly dramatic and it was clear that Bowie was going for that effect, which is fine but his vocalazation of many of the lyrics are...almost operetic which is nothing new for him as he would do it his whole career but at times it can be beautiful and wonderful and other times too much. While on the albums title track, 'Diamond Dogs' it is nothing more then a killer rocker, and one of the best he ever recorded as well.

+The church in which this concert was filmed is magnificent and I would have liked to have seen more of it. It is the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome, Italy. A better job of making the visuals more interesting would have made this DVD concert more attractive.
+After his acrimonous parting with Tommy in 1942 it's no surprise that Frank Sinatra's not included nor is his existence even acknowleged, but why the brothers' mid-20's stint in the California Ramblers gets no mention is curious. Their association with this renowned group of NY studio musicans led to the formation of their own recording outfit, with some of the Ramblers (like legendary bass saxist Adrian Rollini) joining them. Others who worked in-studio with the Dorseys between 1928 and '33: Jack Teagarden (trombone), Mildred Bailey (vocals), Frank Signorelli (piano), Glenn Miller (trombone), Bob Crosby (vocal), Bunny Berigan (trumpet), Johnny Mercer (vocals), Phil Napoleon (trumpet), Joe Venuti (violin) and Stan King (drums).
+Fanfare for the Common Man brings nothing new, but it is such a great miniature.  Less recorded is the Lincoln Portrait.  Copland opens with a slow triumphant fanfare melody which gives way to a faster "Camptown Races" melody and brilliantly weaves the two together.  The piece ends with a dramatic reading by James Earl Jones.

+Standout cuts include "Jah Rules" with a nice sung chorus by group member Harmony; "Jack of Spades" gives the lowdown on Keenan Ivory Wayans' vigilante hero from I'm Gonna Get You Sucka; "Why is That" re-imagines Biblical characters with an Afrocentric view and criticizes America's public education systems; "Who Protects us from You?" admonishes police brutality:  "So do not kick my door down and tie me up while my wife cooks the stew; `cause you were put here to protect us, but who protects us from you?"
+Not only for the singles, which are excellent (I've Been Waiting, Girlfriend, Winona), or even the b-sides (Don't Go, Your Sweet Voice, Evangeline), but the feel of the album when it originally came out.  In the middle of an 'alternative' cash grab, and endlessly redundant bands from Seattle banking on flannel, this was the best pop album released in a long time.  10 years later, it still sounds as good now as it did then.
+Therefore, I would encourage fans to purchase both CD's and get a full balanced America meal.
+Though "DJ" is a lowlight for me, nothing on the album actually strikes me as bad. I found the "Sister Midnight" rewrite "Red Money" forgettable at first, but it's grown on me a lot. "Repetition" has music that is intentionally not that interesting to force you to pay attention to the lyrics if anything, which tell a tale of a man who beats his girlfriend - very serious and quite well-written. In general, the lyrics on this album are not overly serious, often taking cliches and mocking them or twisting them into something else. Take the opening lyrics to "Move On", a song with backing vocals that sing the melody of "All The Young Dudes" backwards, for example:

But this concert album proves that when put together, George Shearing and Mel Torme are greater than their individual parts.  This recording contains standards such as "The Midnight Sun" which is given a Latin twist.  You'll also find rare tunes like Noel Coward's "Someday I'll Find You" which George turns into a funky waltz.  There are generous bows to Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker and Mel's tender "Little Man You've Had A Busy Day" gives us another side of the man.  There is humor amid the nostalgia in the medley "New York, New York" -- makes me wish I were at this concert.  My favorites were "Folks Who Live On the Hill" (lots of singers have done this chestnut, but not the way Torme gives it to us--as a family love song to keep in our hearts).  The opening song "Whisper Not/Love Me or Leave Me" has by now become a standard for others but it is Mel's rendition that is BEST.  There is real emotion and something akin to healing born out of this album.  This album was produced at the Paul Masson Winery in Saratoga, California on a Sunday afternoon, an ideal outdoor setting for their music.  Torme and Shearing banter back and forth with the audience and make the listening of this CD and alliance and passion for a day and moment gone by.  Torme and Shearing bring with them the relaxed humor that is infectuous.  I recommend this CD with a 5 star rating.  And because George Shearing and Mel Torme belong together in a California concert afternoon.

+For some reason, the Eagles are loathed by most alt-country and "progressive" country bands - probably stemming from Gram Parsons' and several prominent rock critics' dislike of them - while being embraced by many current Country Radio artists and fans. Emmylou Harris and Chris Hillman don't even like the term "country-rock" and look like you poo-pooed on their cowboy boots if it's mentioned to describe their music (they prefer Parsons' term "Cosmic American Music" - which I don't think will ever catch on). But to be honest, Gram must have been a little envious of the radio play the Eagles were getting, while he was getting virtually none. Current Country artists, such as Toby Keith, certainly have more in common with the Eagles (at least Henley and Frey) when it comes to arrogance and the personal dislikability factor.

+Not so with LOVE'S BEEN ROUGH ON ME. For once, whatever her misgivings about what was done with her original concept, she seems to this listener to have everything going for her: songwriting that is consistently strong; a unified theme and atmosphere that pervades the entire set (I can only  describe this as a sort of "nocturnal" quality -- everything here, whether a ballad or an uptempo number, has the feel of a late-night rumination from someone who has accepted her insomnia); a style of music that is right in her comfort zone as an interpreter; and instrumental support that's not only alert and responsive but assertive enough to challenge her, to good effect. She gets into a hell-for-leather duel with whichever of her electric guitarists features on "Love It Or Leave It Alone"; and the way the ensemble coalesces and swells behind her whenever the "b" section of "Cry Like A Rainy Day" comes around ("I've made some wrong moves..." "Remember these arms..." et cetera) is genuinely thrilling. Finally, do not be surprised if, like me, you come to consider her performance of the standout track, "If I Had Any Pride Left At All," as affecting a ballad performance as she has ever given on record. No small compliment when one's discography includes "At Last" (well, yes, but try to remember how you felt about it before it was flogged to death in every TV show or movie that has a slow dance) and "Lovin' Arms." For all that the voice has darkened and wizened (which she uses to exquisite effect in the rueful I'm-leaving-you opener, "The Rock"), her singing here is far more remarkable for the power it retains than for anything it's given up.

+One reason I was inclined to get this particular Elton album was that it contained "Tiny Dancer" and "Levon" - two classic Elton tunes.  On the surface, the album seemed a bit thin because these songs were really the what I considered the name songs of the collection.  As I began to listen to the other songs, I realized how much more this collection had to offer.  By most musical standards, Elton John is probably considered a "Pop" artist.  However, this album definitely has more of a Classic Rock feel.  This album gets its feel from a solid combination Bernie Taupin's deep lyrics and Elton's intricate instrumentation.  For a 1971 album with nine tracks - it was 45 minutes (long for an album of that time, thus giving it a Classic Rock feel).  Six of the nine tracks come in at over 5 minutes in length (also long for 1971).

+Perhaps the only problem I might have NOW with the show is that not EVERY song performed that night in 1986 are included on the disc, like "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," "Sara," and "I Can't Wait."  These probably weren't included for obvious Stevie reasons, being, for one, that "Sara" is a very personal song to her and she's always reluctant to perform it in front of people, not to mention that it, like "I Can't Wait," turned out MUCH better on recording and didn't transfer to stage all that well.  But seeing that this Rock a Little Tour was the only in which she performed "I Can't Wait," it would have made the disc more of a collector's item ... and thus a better concert.

+  "False Accusations", the second album from the Robert Cray Band, smolders and wafts out of the speakers like a layer of smoke in a small jazz club.  His crisp blues playing is soulful and subtle, but the real charm is the healthy addition of soul from the great Stax/Volt days of the late sixties.  Cray's voice recalls the greats - Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, and the keyboards, usually a Hammond organ background lift the music to ethereal dreamy levels seldom heard in blues music.
+Costello has always been angry, he built his reputation on it. But on Blood & Chocolate, all kid gloves are off. Those great pop hooks & bitter turns of phrase are there, but here he deliberately keeps things as ugly and brutal as possible. Playing almost in mockery of stuff like "Oliver's Army". It's the sonic equivalent of elegantly burning oneself in effigy with a bloody hammer. Smothered in decidedly claustrophobic production, it feels like a drunken brawl in a broom closet. One gets the sense Costello is hell bent on nailing The Attractions kicking & screaming down into his own coffin.

Other songs on the album are also good--1984, Rock And Roll With Me, and the title track were all hits elsewhere in the world.  And with good reason--it's albums like this that keep the music industry alive when all they put out today on the radio is rubbish.  One through listen, and you will be able to see what hard rock is supposed to sound like.  And yes, this is not the type of music that catches instantly but will grow with time.  Meaning the album will have more re-listen value than today's pop or some of the more in-your-face music of the time.

+5757	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Turn back the clock to 1995-1996.  A year to remember in hip hop.  Everyone was at the top of their game, even Kim.  She represented what female hardcore was all about with her raunchy freakish lyrics.  Some might say the reason it was so raunchy was to get publicity.  Maybe so.  But if it was, she sure as hell did a good job with it.  In the song "Scheamin", she talks about the female's point of view for planning against the guys.  Maybe feminist in a way?  I'm not complaining.  Darker songs include "Mafia Land" (one of my favorites), and "Dreams".  While the original version of "Not Tonight" is not supposed to be comical, I did find the chorus a little funny.  See for yourself.  Jermaine Dupri produces a great bassy beat.  More highlights include the two hit singles "No Time" with Puffy, "Crush on You" (which doesn't include kim? weird..) and the very very hot track "Queen B*tch" which is probably the best track on the album.  Lil' Cease drops in for "crush on you" and does the whole song.  The production is very good for this album.  This album does contain some filler, which doesn't make it a 5-star album.  But if you want to hear Lil' Kim, stick with this album and this album only.

+Ironically, while I think Flatley's added years were a drag on the man, the other major dancers actually came out better in FoF than in LotD.  They were noticeably more confident, more expressive, and dared to explore more new moves in FoF.

This album spawned a lot of hits but not all of them went to 1995's GREATEST HITS. Seven of the twelve tracks(the title track,I'M ON FIRE,COVER ME,I'M GOIN' DOWN,DANCING IN THE DARK,GLORY DAYS and MY HOMETOWN),made it to the Top 20. Bruce had not yet married his first wife actress Julianne Phillips when this album was recorded. Around this time,he met Patti Scialfa,the E Street Band's background vocalist who'd later become his second wife. Beautiful auburn-haired Patti appears in the video for GLORY DAYS. Bruce and the E Street Band perform the song in a nightclub. In the video for DANCING IN THE DARK,Bruce and his band perform the song in concert and invites audience member,not-yet famous actress Courteney Cox with short black hair on the stage and dance. This album was still on the charts when 1985 neared the end. Then,MY HOMETOWN became a hit. This album was a bigger seller than THE RIVER.

+Motive's tendency to experiment with the sounds of music is infectious. "Borateen" is the album's strongest cut in my opinion, and I like the jazzy feel to "Big Important Nothing". Fortunately, the creative strength of Self rubs off on almost every song here. I should get more of their records.
+7995	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	If  "Holidays","Unhalfbricking"and "Liege & Lief" happen to be your favourite Fairport Convention albums, chances are you will love Fotheringay. For Sandy it must have been some kind of realisation of a dream to be in a position to lead her own group; having said that, Fotheringay was not just a vehicle for her considerable songwriting and voval skills - husband Trevor Lucas and the other band members (distinguished session musicians all) get the chance to shine on this album. Sandy's own songs are gorgeous, and although opinion is divided about the merits of the Dylan/Lightfoot interpretations, for me they are just fine. "The Way I Feel" in particular rocks along very nicely, and if "Too Much of Nothing" sounds a little loose, well wasn't it meant to sound that way? Sandy's singing, however, is wonderful throughout. Even a much-covered song like "Banks of the Nile" sounds miraculously fresh, and deeply moving in her hands. A delightful album...a real shame that Fotheringay didn't stay together long enough to make another.

+Here is the part that might really explain things, though. Frankie has this girl friend (he always had a string of them, that what was cool about him, but this was his main squeeze, his honey). The divine Joanne (his description, I could take or leave her, and I questioned the divine part on more than one occasion). See though Frankie, old double standard, maybe triple standard Frankie, was crazy about her but was always worried, worried to perdition, that she was "seeing" someone else (she wasn't). But sweet old clever "divine" Joanne used that Frankie fear as a wedge. She would always talk (and talk while I was there, just to kind of add to the drama, Frankie's drama) about all the guys that called up bothering her (personally I didn't see it, she was cute for sure and with a nice figure but I wouldn't jump off a bridge if she turned me down, others in those days yes, and gladly, but not her). This would get Frankie steaming (once he actually couldn't eat his pizza slice he was so upset and Frankie, Frankie from the old neighborhood, ALWAYS ate his pizza). Worst, was when old doll, old sweetheart, Joanne would drop coins in the jukebox to play... Roy Robison's "Just Running Scared" over and over. And make Frankie give her good coin, his good coin to boot. It got so bad that old Frankie, when Joanne wasn't around, would play it on his own. With his own money, no less. So, I guess, I just got so sick of hearing that song and that trembling rising crescendo voice that I couldn't see straight. But, you can't blame Roy for that, or shouldn't. Watch this thing. I did and just turned the old volume on the remote down when that song came on. That's the ticket.
+6304	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Madman Across The Water (1971) is my favorite album of this amazing musician, or should I say...a pair of musicians. The name of Bernie Taupin has to be mentioned because the collaboration between these two stars made their songs so powerful and meaningful. Elton's amazing music was usually proceeded by Bernie's special lyrics at times providing us with a light poetic tone of mellow ballads and at others shining light upon some of our real struggles and worries. Perhaps their most powerful and deepest songs can be found on Elton John's second album from 1970, the one with his face silhouetted over the black cover and simply called Elton John. However, I find that album very uneven. I understand that someone not bothered by average rock'n'roll songs might find that album his best. For me this album Madman Across The Water provides the nicest balance of placing me in the atmosphere of his early songs, which I find much more ambitious and less pop, sustaining the most even feel throughout and distracting me the least by the rock'n'roll hits hard for me to digest. This album has a nice light tone to it. It is almost like some peace was found inside of someone's heart and mind after releasing the tension earlier. So many of his songs of this album and some of his later jewels as well have this airy disposition and when mixed with some of the darker more complex songs I find the combination quite breathtaking. Elton's musical career has delivered over 30 studio albums and close to 20 of various best of and live compilations. However, with a few exceptions, like Song For Guy, which is one of my favorite instrumental melodies of all times, most of my favorite songs of Elton John came from the early 1970s. Some of my favorite songs of Elton John are: Goodbye, First Episode At Hienton, Song For Guy, Seasons Reprise, Sixty Years On, Mood 3, It's Me That You Need, Your Song, I need You To Turn To, Tonight, Funeral For A Friend, The Greatest Discovery, Tiny Dancer, Madman Across The Water, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Levon.

+to let us ease into restful sleep but this is not it.  There was too much talking and then abrupt beginnings to the next
+To understand the merit of this album, one must rewind two years back to 1982, when Springsteen released the eerie vocal/harmonica dominated "Nebraska." The album wasn't his biggest seller of course, but the success of "Born in the USA" more than made up for its commercial stiffness. And indeed, quite a few songs here (including 'Downbound Train' and the sarcastic title track) were written for "Nebraska," which explains this album's raw, and powerful atmosphere, with that human touch (no pun intended) that only the Boss can deliver. It just has a more 80's pop-n-synthesizer approach, that's all. 'Working on the Highway' (which displays a narrative of humorous irony), 'Glory Days' and 'Dancin' in the Dark'--all of these are pop radio-friendly tunes with characters who are all-out bitter losers. There are many other ironically radio-friendly tracks like 'I'm On Fire,' which explores the dementia of a lovelorn man and 'My Hometown' is one of Springsteen's most real-life influenced tunes since anything from "Nebraska."

+The two featured analog synthesizer sounds are way cool. The synth during the verse sounds like falling leaves or water. The bass synth sound that counterpoints the vocal during the chorous, again, is inventive: an interesting, unusual sound, delightful instrumental melodic counterpoint to the vocal, a melodic sound in this region of the bass territory is also unusual in pop. You usually have the bass drum and the bass guitar in the bass region and that's about it.  This synth sound and melody is something like a `cello line, lending an orchestral feel while still using pop instruments.

"Storytellers" left me wanting for better sound (of course...TV, what could one  expect? ), and quite frankly, something that didn't smack of simply  "PR" for the new disc.  This disc, however, laid all fears to  rest.  From the opening moments of "Green Earrings", I knew this  one was a true winner.  This disc features "bang-on" performances  from the entire ensemble...no slackers in this crew.  Where do they find  these guys, anyway?  Is there some top-secret underground facility that  cultivates and raises top-notch session musicians for Becker and Fagan's  private stock?  Hmmm..... Sound-wise, there are three choices of mix: Dolby  Digital 5.1, which seems to be the most balanced; DTS 5.1, which features  far better separation of channels, but typical "overdone" bass;  and 2- channel PCM Dolby Stereo.  The folks at Digital Theatre Systems  (DTS) seem hell-bent on demonstrating the extended headroom DTS is touted  to offer over Dolby Digital by trying to blast viewers out of the room with  bottom end.  While it works wonders for movies such as "Saving Private  Ryan", it really is overkill here.  The Dolby Digital 5.1 mix is  well-balanced, and just about as good as it can get for a live performance.  Highly recommended for Dan Fans!

The concern that my art was misused for propaganda had to yield to the greater concern that German music be preserved, that music be given to the German people by its own musicians. These people, the compatriots of Bach and Beethoven, of Mozart and Schubert, still had to go on living under the control of a regime obsessed with total war. No one who did not live here himself in those days can possibly judge what it was like. Does Thomas Mann [who was critical of Furtwngler's actions] really believe that in 'the Germany of Himmler' one should not be permitted to play Beethoven? Could he not realize that people never needed more, never yearned more to hear Beethoven and his message of freedom and human love, than precisely these Germans, who had to live under Himmler's terror? I do not regret having stayed with them.[46]

+Some of the best parts of this dvd are the animation sequences, which are hilarious. There's a lot of humor in this documentary. Frankly I think the storyline is amazingly well done.
+The only thing this band has in common with Guns N Roses is the names.  The talent and direction of Velvet Revolver stand on its own and I hope the band stays alive despite a slap from tragic fate.
+8614	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I confess I'm not the world's greatest Bowie fan. (Perhaps mine was a reaction against being surrounded by Bowie fanatics at school.) But I recognise that 70s albums such as ZIGGY STARTDUST and ALADDIN SANE are five-star masterpieces which I'm proud to own and play.
+I am hoping along with many others, I'm sure, with the next pressing and remastering of this recording (hopefully as soon as possible), the remarkably poor sonic issues will be corrected and ideally, an exchange be given for the original. Only then will all of Carole and James' fans have a lasting CD audio keepsake of a concert that sounds as great as their pairing at the Troubadour truly must have been.
+The 3 previously unreleased tracks are breathtaking. I am still reeling from hearing "In The Winter". I will never be the same. The 2 new live tracks sound great also, and only make me wonder why they can't release ALL of the Royal Albert Hall concert? ..especially if they can get such a great sound mix from "Quiet Please..." and "Lose Again."

Davis essentially created a whole new genre which fused jazz and rock music together. It combined the complexity and soul of jazz music, and the attitude and energy of rock music, to give birth to a new hybrid: Fusion.
+7883	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This was the album that introduced Richard Thompson to me. It is still my favorite Thompson album. Is this just sentimentality creeping in, clouding the fact that maybe he's made more compelling albums since? I don't think so.
+The sound quality is first rate, though, really showing off what kind of extension and transparency the lowly Dolby Digital is capable of.  The more I hear of DTS the more I think Spielberg just wanted his own standard he wouldn't have to pay licensing fees for.  Does every DTS disk have the bass boosted just to fool us into thinking it's more extended in the nether regions?  And to those who have asked why all the videos are not in 5.1: it's because Vespertine was mixed in 5.1 for its high-end format DVD-Audio release in Europe.  So essentially you are getting the best version of each song on this collection.  They didn't specially mix any of the tracks for this DVD, and I would neither expect nor want them to.

Its so unfortunate that he died when his tour bus flipped over and it was all the more sad that I found this out when I just became a huge fan of his. He is God of bass and can really be matched by no bass player, not even John Deacon (Queen) or John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), hell they don't even come within a hundred lightyears of Cliffs godliness. Cliff deserved so much more than what he got and its videos like these that remind me of the good old days of Metallica, not when they and they're music went to hell with 'Load'.

+PAPA DON'T PREACH
+What else is on here?  An instrumental and smokin' version of "train kept a rollin".  I like that song a lot, especially Aerosmith's version, but here you have another heavy and good version.  "medley: bach doors man/chest fever" is quite long, nearly 9 minutes in length, and it has parts that ramble and don't seem to go anywhere.  But it does have some guitar parts and drum tricks you might enjoy.
+3766	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I chose to get one BSB video, and I'm glad I chose this one. This collection features harmony-based pop/r&b sounds from early backstreet. It has a few songs from their European debut album, and that was a good thing for me because I love hearing songs that I'm not already familiar with. The best one was the opener, "Who do you Love". Besides that, you also get their early slow and midtempo songs, plus solos. Brian blew me away with his angelic voice and his 2nd solo song. He definitely has the r&b thing going on, sounds like Brian McKnight. Nick's solo is a keeper, too. And Kevin on piano duet with the saxophone--the true "romantic moment".
+And "Content" is almost angelic.  Other than George Harrison I can't imagine anyone in Rock at the time (1972) who would have dared be this fragile and prostrate on a solo LP.

+The extras include the sophisticated Funkstorung Remix and a Strings Remix of "All Is Full of Love", one of her best ballads.
+6720	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Hotel California was the first Eagles album to feature Joe Walsh.  By combining with Don Felder, they created a potent tandem and pushed the band to a harder sound.  Like many other residents in the state, the band are not native Californians.  Despite that fact, they have become synonymous with Southern California. On this album, they examine all the high and lows of the land of hopes and dreams.  The word classic is thrown around a little too often, but the album's title track is one of only a handful of songs that are worthy of the title.  From the opening guitar riff, to the cynical and vivid lyrics to the closing guitar coda, the song is a tour de force.  Don Henley sings with a snarl in his voice and Mr. Walsh and Mr. Felder trade guitar licks in a can you top this fashion.  The song is a masterpiece, became their third number single, won the 1977 Grammy for Record of the Year and one never tires of hearing it.  "New Kid In Town" was the album's other number single and Glenn Frey sings with a smooth charm.  The song perfectly captures that breezy Southern California sound the Eagles made famous.  "Life In The Fast Lane" is the infamous rocker that details the hedonistic lifestyle of the late 70's that the band wholeheartedly embraced.  "Wasted Time" is pretty ballad and the orchestral reprise of the song leads into a stinging rocker "Victim Of Love".  Joe Walsh's Eagle lead vocal debut is the suprisingly sweet "Pretty Maids All In A Row".  Randy Messiness' swan song with the band is the soaring "Try & Love Again".  The album's closer, "The Last Resort", almost matches the title cut in power and brilliance.  It tells of the pilgrimage from the east coast out to California and that it has to offer.  Hotel California was the band's peak and one of the best albums of the 70's.
+Dury was a marvellously witty and perceptive lyric writer, and whilst his distinctive cockney drawl was hardly a great singing voice, it marked him as someone who was doing something completely different from everybody else. The Blockheads of course were also a great band, and again this marked Ian Dury out from the rest of the punk/new wave movement.
+As for the "mixed bag" part, the DVD is titled "Across America" because, over a period of 12 years, Art undertook a cross-country trek.  Several interludes, during which he is shown sitting in a park, discussing his thoughts about the country, are cut into the show.  His comments are interesting, but I would have preferred that they were included as a bonus feature rather than being inserted between the songs.  For me, they break up the continuity of the concert.
+Other highlights: amazing pianist Art Tatum does his own "Turquoise," then Tommy, Jimmy, Ziggy Elman, Ray Bauduc and Charlie Barnet join Tatum for a late-night jam on "Art's Blues." In an earlier scene, the still struggling Dorseys are hired by Paul Whiteman; his band performs "At Sundown."
+5527	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	After looking at some other Sammy Davis records, I saw this and saw Buddy Rich and though how can you go wrong?  You can't.  For my money, Sammy Davis was perhaps the best there was from this era in terms of being able to entertain. I think Frank Sinatra even said he was in awe of Sammy Davis.  Why wouldn't he be?  Sammy was awesome, baby.  Entertainment.  IN these years (although I was not around live in 66...) was doing this, not wiggling one's bum and acting like you need 20 bucks and a streetlight to entertain, but singing and dancing and joking and acting and just making the world a better place.  The Candyman did.  And Buddy Rich, although best to avoid being in the bus with him on tour, was a hell of a drummer and it shows here.
+With "Home" they courageously take on the topics of death and depression. Ironically, these topics, as unpleasant as they are, are still necessary because, after all, they are a part of life.
+This album is worth it just for the song "For You" (once you've heard the bouncing keyboard riffs, you won't be able to forget them) - but there are several others on it worthy of attention, especially "Lies (Through the 80's)". If you like Manfred Mann, if you like what they do with sometimes bland Springsteen originals, if you like their original works, then you'll definitely want to grab this album. The extra tracks on this particular album are all 'singles versions'... the edited down songs you may have heard on the radio at one time or another; the album isn't worth it for just those tracks, unless that's exactly what you're looking for. But it is definitely worth it for everything else.
+6592	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	5/5. It took the Eagles just 5 years to make a long way from Western outlaws to Los Angeles life experts. The best seller album featuring one of the most recognizable tunes of all times is a deeply conceptual piece of work showcasing the best and worst tendencies of Californian life of the time. With the departure of Bernie Leadon, the Eagles have left their bluegrass and country-rock roots behind (with the only exception of "New Kid In Town") going into the territory of harder rock with the addition of guitarist Joe Walsh, whose broken riffs are particularly audible on "Life In the Fast Lane", "Victim of Love" and second solo of "Hotel California". What started as Don Felder's Mexican reggae on a demo tape was soon to become the major international hit that most people around the world associate with the Eagles. With a Spanish notes throughout the tune, guitar interplay between Joe Walsh and Don Felder and an eerie second of silence right before the beginning of the second verse the track is a bizarre mix of musical influences. Lyrically, this might be the most intelligent song ever written, epitomizing the underbelly of success and American dream, the excess of American culture and darker side of the paradise that California was thought by many to be. The same topics are further explored throughout the album, most notably in "Life In The Fast Lane", a song about a couple who had everything but lost it because of their lifestyle, drugs and alcohol abuse and bad decisions. Hotel California is also an album which features the most melodic songs ever composed by Joe Walsh (piano-based "Pretty Maids All In a Row", a melancholic reflection on heroes that come and go) and Randy Meisner (the optimistic "Try and Love Again").

+What the heak is the point of this band "Velvet Revolver".??? anyway?
+I think the reason he got all these  people together is to expand his fan base, for one.  Few rock stars, and I  think Santana is one of them, care about the fans at all and the influence  that they are, but all stars care about money.  It's all business.  Santana  knew that by teaming up with all these people, he could score sales from  young people as well, and I mean that in the best possible way.  Second, I  think he wanted to bridge the gap between modern rock and classic rock, to  open a door for new Santana listeners to not only buy old school Santana,  but to open up to older music as well, music from which Santana grew up on  and was influenced by.

+2) Had to pump up the customer rating
+All of that being said, one of the many great things about The Sounds of `66 is the fact that a number of these tracks aren't readily available on other albums, at least not that I know of.  I can't remember which female artist made I Know a Place famous, but Sammy truly brings the song to life in a wholly new form.  What Did I Have That I Don't Have? is perhaps my favorite song on this CD; it starts a little slowly, but Sammy fills it with enough passion and emotion that it is all but flammable by the time he gets through with it.  Once in Love With Amy and If It's the Last Thing I Do are great songs I have not heard elsewhere.  I never cared for What the World Needs Now Is Love until I heard Sammy sing it; he wails, producing a much more animated song than Burt Bacharach could even conceive of.  One of my all-time favorite songs is What Now My Love?, and Sammy provides rather a unique version of it here.  The song starts slowly, sounding almost like uninspired lounge music, but Sammy quickly picks up the tempo and energy, eventually drawing the most vocal audience response of the night.  One selection that is admittedly rather strange is Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead from The Wizard of Oz.  This ain't your Munchkins' version because Sammy belts this thing out and makes it a truly hip experience.

+I know that Weiland isn't Axl and honestly, I can live with that.  I've always thought that Weiland had one of the better voices of the last decade, not in terms of range and certainly not in terms of lyrics, but... his voice is an instrument that carries a song perfectly, whether he needs to shout or layer harmonies, it always seems to work.  Its great to hear him fronting this kind of band, because they really have a great, full sound that you don't hear at all anymore... there's no rap influences here, no DJ, and certainly no emo-inspired whining, no retro matching constumes. Its not that I don't like those things, but its nice to hear a band that isn't in a rock sub-category.  This is a rock album by a rock band.

The past McCartney reissues have been great, but this one is incredible. The stuff in the box is crafty in the way the album is...the overall *feeling* of the music is conveyed perfectly through the packaging. It's homespun yet very professional. This is McCartney's music at its best and reissue packaging at its best. Well done!!
+Danny Carrey needs to get out of Tool and find a better band. His amazing drumming is what propels the band and makes it interesting; Adam Jones needs to go back to special effects work, as his "three-barre-chord-riffs-right-on-top-of-each-other-on-the-frets-up-down-up-down" guitar playing, combined with his "Uh, I can't play solo's so let's throw on a lot of distortion and effects to trick everybody" style is very wearing.

+9842	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Low is the first of the Bowie-Eno trilogy.  The first half of the album contains interesting vocal tracks including two of my favorite Bowie songs, "Sound and Vision" and "Breaking Glass".  The second  half comprises of experimental instrumental works, largely accompanied by  synthesizers.  "A new career in a new town" and  "Warszawa" are especially excellent.  This album set the stage  for one of Bowie's most accomplished works, "Heroes".  But that  takes nothing away from "Low", it's an essential album to any  fan.
+Barring a few omissions (I'd still buy "Sheik Yerbouti" on it's own for Flakes, Jones Crusher and `Yo Mama), this is the perfect example of the wide variety inherent in Frank's music, the brilliance of his talent and backing bands, should please any fan of Rock and/or Jazz music, is the perfect place to start and is a TRUE 5-star release!!

+This album from top to bottom is musically and lyrically beautiful. This probably isn't a record you put on at a party, but one that you sit with and enjoy as a whole piece of music. The concept of the "album" is lost these days, but if you enjoy a solid block of music from an artist that puts you entirely within the context of the time it was made, simply mine the 70's albums for that type of experience.

The original show opened with 5 songs, then Tommy, then 6 more a songs to close. This is captured on the album. In the film, the opening songs and nd closing songs are strung together at the start of the film, followed by the Tommy footage (which winds up being about 30 minutes long!). This choice gives an odd feel to the show, since they got wilder and more distorted as the show went on.

+I had heard some of these cuts before, but this puts together much of his greatness, maybe lacking only "Danny Boy". What a voice! He covered three octaves when he was rolling, as he did in many of these cuts. Hearing him sing "Doggin' Round" is nothing short of massive. "Baby Workout", "Reet Petite", and "To Be Loved" indeed showcase the great powerful excitement he could generate. Not only could he "Talk That Talk", he sure could walk that walk.

This new album boasts of songs in the same vibe and more. Slash seems to play even better and faster and more diverse too. Myles Kennedy should have accepted Slash's offer a long time ago to do the Velvet Revolver albums. He sounds awesome specially on the song "Far Away". He sounds like Ritchie Kotzen and the great late Ray Gillen ( Badlands) at the same time and his phrasing was done ala Chris Cornell. Nothing can be as good as that. Most of the songs he sings in an Axl Rose phrasing and style which is very hard to do and very much fits the songs also. When you listen to this album it almost sounds like Izzy Stradlin is in the band or maybe I'm imagining this. You almost wonder what this album will sound like if Izzy and Duff were playing. Duff is one hell of a base player. The greatness of GNR was the base was so melodic and aggressive at the same time. Anyway , buy this CD and you will not be disappointed. This kind of thing comes our way very rare. I can't pick a fave song because they all sound very good. Almost the same feeling when you first popped your Appetite For destruction tape on your boombox.

+Much like "Kamakiriad", this album sat rather strangely with me at first.  The hooks are not immediately identifiable or memorable, yet, upon repeated listening, become embedded in one's own musical palette.

+The anthemic title track is another example of an Idol classic failing chart-wise, like "White Wedding."  It stalled at #46 on the charts, though it did respectfully well on the album rock charts, peaking at #9.  But this turned out to be another frantic mixture of new wave synths, punk rhythms, hard rock, and techno beats.  "In the midnight, she cried more, more, more!" roars Idol in the chorus, creating another memorable lyric.  This song was also reinforced by the energetic concert performance clip on MTV, where viewers got to see Stevens perform some squealing and laser-beam sounding space age theatrics with his guitar.  The session take has some "tonight" instead of "last night" in "last night a little dancer came knocking at my door," as well as some rough instrumentation and different lyrics.

His voice has a little edge to it that gives him a more soulful sound, as opposed to the "velvety" sound of his early career that he is so famous for. The selections are great, and you can truly feel an appreciation for his fans conveyed on this record like no other I have ever heard. As one of the other reviewers mentioned, every cylinder seemed to hitting the night this was recorded. The vocals are tremendous, and the trio is in perfect form. Also, it's a little funny, but every time I see Steffi Graf, I think of Mel Torme. He died on the day she won her last Grand Slam title (French Open).If you are even a little interested in Mel Torme, this would be the CD to start with.

(My vinyl collection was destroyed in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, so I've been estranged from a lot of these tunes for many many years.)
+Since I had the chance to listen to it repeatedly at the cd store I work at, it NEVER grew on me. Sad to say. I wish it was something else but seems Scott wants to emulate Axl Rose and I don't really particularly care for him much either, so it's a double whammy right there.

+"Rebel, Rebel" was an annoying hit on the radio, because its gender-bending was ripped out of place.  In context, though, it fit the lush sound and vision of DD, but it wasn't remotely the best song. Every other song worked its way into my core and I still remember lyrics three decades later.  I used to listen to 1984/Dodo on a vinyl bootleg, ripped off from the 1984 Floor Show when Bowie did his thing on TV and the censors were freaked out because--shudders--some of his pubic hair was showing in one costume.  This TV event featured Marianne Faithful looking like a space nun--maybe it inspired her years later to do "Broken English," whose dark sound reminds me a bit of DD (though also "Heroes."
+Judy begins the show by singing "Just In Time" and "When You're Smiling;" she sings in such a singularly beautiful way as she uses her arms and legs to accentuate certain words and even syllables as she gracefully delivers these ballads.

+This album is truly one of a kind in the David Bowie musical cannon. Much like Space Oddity was very folk, and The Man Who Sold The World was his hard rock master piece this is progesssive and techno and rock n' roll and everything else. Low is very rich in wide and deep soundscapes, another thing that Bowie helped to create and usher in to popular music. One of the most endearing things about this album is that with all the synthasizers (which are actually good here), and prog rock sounds David makes sure to make room for the guitat on this album. This is an album very rich in guitar every song is pact full of great guitar work.
+I can't  describe how frusterated I am with this. First of all, there are two good  songs: Smooth (overplayed and, yes, overrated) and Put you lights on with  Everlast. The rest of it is just bubblegum pop, other than some bad latin  songs.

+The John & Yoko albums released before the breakup of the Beatles were all pretty much the same.  The chief instigator of these albums seems to be Yoko.  Her background in the "avant garde" and "conceptual art" is apparent in these albums.  The basic premise is: take a "concept" and run with it.  Keep running with it for as long as possible.  Let's hear John & Yoko call each other by their first names for a half-hour.  Let's produce feedback and screaming longer than one can normally tolerate.  After all, the big joke is that John Lennon's name is on this album... so even if the "concepts" are questionable and/or idiotic- lots of people will BUY this piece of vinyl because a Beatle has his name on the cover!!!
+In comes Side 2. Warszawa is probably the best-known electronic piece from this album, and its best-realized one with its stirring, mournful feel and solemn chants. The rest of the ambient pieces build on the same eerie, meditative vibe. Low ends with a feeling of resignation and doubt, which makes sense given the state of mind the drug-addled Bowie was in; which in turn precipitated his move to Germany.
+I think the penny price would support my contention this simply isn't very good.

+The majority of the remaining album is "Nebraska II," with a full band instead of a solo guitar.  The title cut was originally planned for "Nebraska," and an acoustic version appears on the "Tracks" compilation. Other songs with a similar gloomy, defeated outlook are "Downbound Train" (one of his very best lyrics-- "Now I work down at the car wash/where all it ever does is rain"), "I'm Goin' Down," and the scary "I'm on Fire."  A couple of the more upbeat songs would fit into "Nebraska" model too--the enjoyable "Darlington County" and "Working on the Highway" both start out as stories of blue collar braggarts on a tear, and both end with their protagonists in, or on their way to, prison.  I like all these songs, but I feel a distance about them, just as I did on "Nebraska."  Who is Bruce writing about?  Not himself, certainly. People he knows? Or is he projecting via an image of what he imagined "blue collar" life was all about? With the exception of "Downbound Train," the stories in these songs don't completely ring true.  How much that matters is arguable: The songs are great, he sings them convincingly, and the band is supreme and sublime.  Max Weinberg makes his biggest play to be considered the American Charlie Watts on this album--on the title track he's amazing.
+9914	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Seeing that much of the material on Lather has been previously released on four separate Zappa albums during the late 70's, this 3CD set can be viewed as more of a "Best of Zappa 1976 - 1981" rather than a complete  album, as it was intended to be.  Despite this, even if you do own those  four albums ("Zappa In New York" and the Warner Brothers  trilogy), it is well worth acquiring Lather for the monster that it is.

But really, Scott Weiland's a good singer, and Slash is a legendary guitarist.  It should work.  Does it?  No, not really.  I mean, Fall To Peices is okay, but everything else is just bland and boring rock.  It's kinda like Audioslave, but only a wee bit worse.

Their earlier works challenged the listener and offered alternatives to the predictable music scene. Prodigal Stranger, while giving us the core band together again, is an enormous disappointment (I'm being kind giving it 2 stars).  Brooker and Reid, always able to arrest us in the past with the force of their creativity, have sold out on this one, reaching for nothing and settling for the lowest common denominator of commerciality. These people should never have let this one out - on their worst day they can top this mediocrity.  If you need something current and different by the band, you'll have to check out the excellent solo work by Gary Brooker called "In This House". It's a true pleasure.  Pass on Prodigal Stranger.

This is one that really lives up to the hype - to all the accolades fans have been expressing for years.

+Aside from the well-known selections "Tiny Dancer" ( a lilting love ballad to a musician's wife) and "Levon" ( the life and creed of a good man), we also have odes to an outcast from society, "Razorface"; life on the road for a band, "Holiday Inn"; and the plight of a lifelong convict, "Rotten Peaches". But, as excellent as all these are, they are still able to give us the suitable looping hook in "Madman Across the Water". I absolutely love this song. The madman must escape in a boat with a "broken back". Escape from what? Perhaps the insanity of his world. However, they all must have yet another glimpse of him trying to make good his getaway. He is mad for trying. For not giving into their vision. But, he gives into his own vision. Which is the point I guess.

+So firstly I gotta admit I wasn't an STP fan so hey, I wasn't expecting much. But it seems that as long as you just get Weiland to sing songs for you and keep him away from the press or anything involved with actually promoting his product then your on a winner. Because despite the copious amounts of press the negative sides to this mobs personal histories there is a sense of optimism just like with Libertad. This is achieved by an indefinable quality to the tunes, a sort of rugged survivalist mentality that comes through in the speedy riffage and Weilands voice is so world weary and battleworn he totally sells each and every song on this disc.
+The song about Machine Kelly was  a disappointment.  I wish they had left
+  What they do, however, is make the best music that I've ever heard. To me, they are the modern day Pink Floyd and the best band of the 90's. This album, above all the others, displays tool as a band that is just not content with a 3:30 minute single, instead their biggest song, Aenima, of this cd is over 6:00 minutes long (which almost all their songs are over 5:00 minutes)  shows how much exploration can be done in yust a single song.
+Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey was the hit single from the album, and it's a three-part suite of frivolity and unassuming psychedelia. The happy-go-lucky jauntiness sets the tone for the album, and the song is quite an exercise in imaginitive music theory. Monkberry Moon Delight is an abstract rock screamer that's strangely irresistible. The melodic Dear Boy and Ram On are both pleasant and relaxing, while Heart Of The Country is a bouncy acoustic guitar celebration of living on the McCartney farm.

+145	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Well, usually around December sometime this album and its worthy successor  become my two favorites to listen to - not to say you won't find me  listening to it throughout the rest of the year, either.  The album's 17  tracks, every single one of them excellent, are divided nearly equally  between instrumental and non-instrumental tracks.  The songs tell the story  of an angel's quest and a runaway returned home for the holidays in an  implied rock opera style.  In doing so, Paul O'Neill and company are able  to somehow capture the magic and spirit of the season with incredible  accuracy.  The style of the music varies greatly, from light to heavy and  everything in between.  Here you'll find piano / vocal driven Broadway  moments, string filled symphonic moments, solo-guitar laden heavy metal  moments, not to mention the tasteful inclusion of a children's choir and a  song each to touch on folk and blues.  Many of the album's melodies are  borrowed from Christmas favorites, meaning plenty of the tunes will be very  familiar to even the first time listener, and the original material on the  album is just as spectacular as the reworkings of the classics.  With at  least six different lead singers, the album is both a musical and vocal  treat.  A definite essential.

A pretty good track record and then in '79 their 8th album charted at 110.  They left George Martin and moved to Capitol records and through 1984 recorded four more albums, three of which were duds and one of which charted two pretty singles, one of which is re-recorded here on this album.  Then they went fallow for 10 years and in '94 this album was produced on the label which set the standards for direct to digital recordings: American Gramaphone.  HOURGLASS did not chart, but by my standards, it is America's masterpiece!  Everything that they channeled perfectly to produce #1 chart hit AMERICA, #9 chart hit HOMECOMING, #3 hit HOLIDAY, and #4 hit HEARTS, or the #11 chart seller HIDEAWAY which was an acoustic concept of sorts, a sonic treat and lyrically explorative effort with some of Martin's most phenomenal flourishes.

It wasn't as commercially sucessful as their debut album I feel mainly because they've changed their music style.  Their debut album was more southern rock while this disc has a more grung-ish feel.  You make me mad is a great rock tune that is sure to impress.  As usual the lyrics are great making overall appeal of the album top notch.  For those who are familiar with Third Day's southern rock style this may take you a listen or two to get used to the sound but I think you'll like it.

+888	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	It's a miracle that in this day and age - where the modern rock landscape has been reduced to wimps, posers, infuriating radio saturation, and talentless MTV-crowd hacks - Velvet Revolver has managed to put out an album of surging, rollicking, genuine good-old rock and roll. A fusion of two great rock bands of the last 20 years, Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver encompasses all that is sorely lacking from today's "rock" - passion, emotion, energy, and kick-ass guitar solos - not to mention actual talent. Scott Weilland is a great vocalist, and he fits perfectly with Slash (who is in top form here, belting out memorable solos at every turn) and the rest of the group. The music on Contraband alternates between fast-paced energetic rockers like "Slither", "Do It For the Kids", "Spectacle", and "Set Me Free" - some of the best rock songs I've heard in years - and slow, heartfelt ballads like "Fall to Pieces", "You Got No Right", and "Loving the Alien". These songs showcase Velvet Revolver's emotional side, and prove that they can write great music at both fast and slow tempos. The album tears out of the gate with "Sucker Train Blues", a turbocharged, catchy rocker, and never lets up. The only track I don't care for is "Dirty Little Thing", and even that would kick the ass of anything on MTV or the Top 40 nowadays. Bottom line: Contraband is a fantastic, high-spirited effort and a welcome return to the high-energy rock of yesteryear. If you, like me, have become fed up with today's worthless mainstream rock garbage like Nickelback, Hoobastank, and Jet, do yourself a favor and pick up Contraband - you won't be disappointed.

+6416	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album was Elton John and Bernie Taupin's sixth album in three years.  During that time Elton explored a variety of sounds, trying to find his sound.  "Madman Across the Water" was the cusp of the quest that would be fully realized on Elton's next album, "Honky Chateau".  However, while seeking his sound, Elton managed to demonstrate an incredible potential that was broadly manifested on this album.
+Tool is a band that has a lot to say, but in 1996 their songwriting and composition skills, while far above average, still weren't polished and effective enough to carry an album of this length.  Luckily, this would be fixed for their 2001 work of art, Lateralus.

Their perfect harmony, their hits that spanned the decades, and their obvious love for each other made them a one-of-a-kind group.  Of course, they perform their classic dance music from the "Saturday Night Fever" years.  But, the Bee Gees also sing their songs from the '60's such as "Massachusetts," "To Love Somebody," and "Words."  Some of the finest moments of the concert are when the band takes a break while the brothers gather around one microphone and sing unplugged versions of several songs.  They also sing songs that (when this concert was done in 1997) were new...showing that their songwriting talents had not diminished at all.  Speaking of the Bee Gees' songwriting, it is great to hear them perform songs which they wrote but became hits for other people, such as "Islands in the Stream," "Heartbreaker," and "Grease."

+9543	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	When this album came out in 1982, it was a sonic, lyrical, and musical revelation for Elvis Costello and the Attractions. Time has not diminished it. Geoff Emerick's elegant production affords the Attractions a chance to  truly demonstrate their amazing musical chops: Pete Thomas's exquisite,  never overdone drumming; bassist Bruce Thomas melodically galavanting  "up the thin bits" a la Macca; and king of the keyboard jungle  Steve Nieve flexing his musical muscle with tantalizing orchestral  arrangements. This was also the first Elvis album to print the lyrics, but  without punctuation or traditional spacing. In hindsight, this made the  sleeve--yes, we're talking vinyl here--an unplugged interactive experience.  This always was the best-sounding Costello album, but Rykodisc's version  betters the Columbia and Demon editions in that regard AND adds no less  than nine bonus tracks of b-sides, demos, and unreleased songs. Without a  doubt the finest and most musically well-rounded album this quartet ever  made. That's not a slight to all their other fine albums, but this was  their Pepper. They finally had the time and budget to make what they  wanted, and they came through with flying colors. Let's just hope the world  doesn't forget about Imperial Bedroom. Anyway, it will always be our little  secret treasure.

+LOW, the first result of this move was ear opening and quite shocking to most ears.  While it sold well on the Bowie name alone, many were confused and disappointed in the music of LOW. While this is Bowie's record, and most songwriting credits list him, Eno makes a clear sonic imprint, echoing BEFORE AND AFTER SCIENCE and ANOTHER GREEN WORLD. Side One (the first seven songs) were the poppier side, consisting of melodic, but fractured songs that did not follow convention.  The second side consists of four more ponderous pieces that if they feature vocals, they appear as almost an afterthought.  Bowie obviously onto something, as the influence of LOW is still rippling through music thirty some years after the fact.  Its influence is felt in the post punk music of Joy Division, The Cure and the more modern sounds of NIN and Radiohead.

+I wished Sid Vicious had never joined the band, as, contrary to what McLaren said, these guys could play (the live footage of "Anarchy in the U.K. proves this), but I'm convinced Sidnay was just used as a prop.

My excuse is that I'm a lifelong proghead and at the time this was recorded in 1979, Yes was my favorite band.  The classic lineup was about to fold, with Wakeman and Anderson gone by the next year's Drama tour.  So this was a rare glimpse at one of the last shows of the 70's by the classic lineup of one of prog's greatest bands.  And besides, performances like this are all too rare.  Try finding actual 70's concerts on DVD by Genesis, King Crimson and others and suddenly this one looks more attractive.  My DVD of ELP's Pictures at an Exhibition was wearing out too.

Not to give too much away but the main plot involves George Tirebiter who was a popular actor and stays up late at night watching himself in movies and tv shows that he appeared in earlier in his life. The album itself is recognized as a classic and has even been added to the National Recording Registry's list of influential recordings. Will you like it? Well, there's only one way to find out.
+I've loved Santana since  I first heard their music in England in 1970 at age 15.  I saw them twice  in London, and I do love, and still listen to, their old stuff.  But I love  this album too - at least most of it. As a generalisation I would say that  perhaps I'd like to have heard more of Santana and less of some of the  guests, but then I can hear his guitar right through it, and, let's be  honest, he didn't make his reputation as a singer.
+By the way, if you like Zappa's music and humor, I HIGHLY recommend reading his autobiography "The Real Frank Zappa Book".  I guarantee you will be laughing your backside off before page 3.

I was laughing so hard I was doubled over, convulsing and had tears in my eyes, the store clerks probably thought I was having a stroke.

+Furtwngler received a flood of letters agreeing with him and thanking him, people hoping that Furtwngler would disavow the politics of anti-Semitism in music.[9] The Nazis considered this letter as a very clear support for Jews. For instance, Winifred Wagner wrote: "the claim that Dr. Furtwngler has a favourable attitude towards Jews was proved once again by himself in his exchange of letter with Dr. Goebbels. For the last sixteen years or so he has had Frulein Dr. Geissmar - a full-blooded Jewess - as his full-time assistant, and my first serious disagreement with him during the 1931 festival [in Bayreuth] was provoked by our opposing views of the Jewish press."[10] In another text of June 1933 that was the basis for a coming discussion with Goebbels, Furtwngler starts saying : "The Jewish question in musical spheres: a race a brilliant people!" He writes that if the boycotts against Jews are extended to artistic activities, he will resign from all his posts immediately, concluding "at any rate to continue giving concerts would be quite impossible without [the Jews] - to remove them would be an operation which would result in the death of the patient."[11]
+"A New Career In A New Town" is contextual, subverting the tone of the album away from the new direction (read "new wave") pop of the first half to internal monologue, most accurately termed "ambient," of the second.  This track is commuting on a cold morning to a new job, the first day of school, past error and regret, resigned but introspective and sensitive.  Notice the harmonica, Bowie brings an earthiness into this whole album with direct piano tunes, or guitar liquors, or his own strong harmonica, such as here, mixed with ambient electronica. This track closes side one of the short, unexpected rockers, all echoing the same tone, a mixture of completely modern and textbook.

+The reproduced John Byrne artwork on the inside of the tri-gatefold card pack is from his 1971 debut solo album "Can I Have My Money Back Please" and is nicely done - but the booklet in thin and mediocre. There are USA and Foreign picture sleeves to most of the singles - not here. The original vinyl album never included the lyrics in the UK - and the new booklet was a perfect opportunity to expand on that - especially as his words were so good and so intelligent. None of the musicians are interviewed - especially HUGH BURNS and RAPHAEL RAVENSCROFT who respectively did the stunning guitar and sax work on "Baker Street". There are no interviews with Billy Connolly his old sparring-partner in The Humblebums or Joe Egan his song-writing collaborator in Stealer's Wheel. On the upside - at least we can now read the track-by-track musician credits on Page 11 of the inlay, which were almost indecipherable on the rear of the original LP sleeve. But the packaging smacks way too much of what EMI could get away with - when you could imagine that if Edsel, Ace or Raven had handled this, it would have 24-page minimum affair - and properly annotated to give the great man the respect he is so clearly due. They may be small pedantic points I know, but they're worth making when EMI is charging you full whack on this. Still - there is at least the superb new sound quality to savour...

+In my opinion, this is David at his peak. See a truly historic Rock & Roll moment, captured on film forever, and now remastered on DVD for your home collection.
+One thing I want to mention is how you can hear a similar vibe to "green-eyed lady" all through the second album.  Moments of that song appear throughout Spaceship Earth, so if someone played this album for you and you weren't sure who the artist was, you'd be able to pick up on the "green-eyed lady" influence.
+Ram was Paul's second solo album and was heavily criticised at the time, with John Lennon parodying the cover and the dissolution of the Beatles overshadowing the music. Saying that, it reached number one in the UK and number two in the US and has since been reappraised by critics as the excellent album it is, while it has always been regarded fondly by fans.
+In the light of the band's newer offerings ('In The Company of Angels' and 'Long Line of Leavers', which are also good), this album will be remembered for its "warm and heartfelt accessibility", both musically & lyrically, and probably one of the group's best moments.

+4731	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This new disc is a delight.  All the old Steely Dan elements are there--- the somewhat enigmatic lyrics, the quirky Fagan voice, the sparse guitar/keyboard/horn arrangements, and even that distinctive drum style  that they've managed to project through a variety of drummers over the  years.  The opening bars of "Gaslighting Abbie" quickly let you  know the boys are back and in top form.
+Other than those two sonic blemishes, Britains godfathers of punk, hard rock and progressive rock sounded commanding and relevant that evening.

+With all this talent in one band, they all form together flawlessly to make what we all know as Tool. This is an impressive showcase of their genius and each band members musicianship. I for one bought this album a while back, and I will be D****d if I lose this. This is just my views on this album and the band themselves, and I for one know that words themselves can't describe how much of an importance this album is to Tool and the music industry as well. I am also glad that Tool is not popular with the mainstream side of the industry as well. They can forever stay underground (or it seems) and I myself and many other Tool fans will be happy with just where they are. Agreed?
+This performance is definitely worthy of a listen in spite of the lesser quality of the recent material, and it certainly would make an excellent gift for those who is old enough to remember when these songs were frequently played on the radio. I remember dancing to these classics when I was still a kid, and IMHO this DVD is a jewel for those who still from time to time is living in the past (in a good sense of this word, naturally).

+Elsewhere, I really enjoyed the contributions of the other Wings members.  Linda McCartney is quite enjoyable on the appealing "Cook of the House," where you can tell that Paul is playing upright bass.  Take it for what it's meant to be, and it's great.  Longtime Wings member Denny Laine shines here too, on the rocker "Time to Hide" and McCartney's own "The Note You Never Wrote", both of which I play just as much as the McCartney-sung tracks found on this album.  Drummer Joe English surprisingly shows he's the second best singer in Wings with the very cool "Must Do Something About It" (also written by Paul), and Jimmy McCulloch contributes the airy and still fresh sounding "Wino Junko."
+
+I have given "Aenima" three complete spins on three different occasions, and I just can't see (or hear, in this case) what the big deal is with this band.  Though the music is somewhat interesting, it has the same old nu-metal trademark of thick, dissonant power chord crunches syncopated between the drumbeats.  Add really angry, teenager-like screams about how you're picked on in high school for being different or how your parents choked your individuality, and you've got yourself a nu-metal band.  Oh yeah, you have to mercilessly mock organized religion in at least 75% of your songs.
+In her first recording she was both astonishingly new and talented, but also showed great promise of things to come.  In the recordings that followed she has unfailingly measured up to that promise. Even in her first record she began showing her taste for sorrowful mournful tunes of doomed love, even on uptempto tunes like "Don't Follow Me" and the title "Too Late to Cry".  She also began demonstrating her talent for beautiful slow ballads like "Gentle River".

Each track has beautifully crafted percussion and string effects, with the rich, honeyed tones of Klemmer's sax winding slowly and sinuously across some memorable melodies. There's nothing at all 'jangly' about this album, just instantly accessible, chocolatey melodies to soothe away the day's stress, and cocoon you in a warmly textured bath of restrained, healing sounds. Balm for the frazzled body and mind, and even the weary soul. Simply lovely stuff.

+For the most part, these changes don't intrude too much (kinda nice actually to hear a different mix since i'm so used to the regular one), but there are times when it just should have been left the way it was. In particular, "Solsbury Hill", which has always been my favourate part of the film.  Different/more vocal ad libs, and the end of the song has been totally rearranged.  After the last chorus, it goes right to the "hey hey hey..." bit, and THEN the keyboard lick comes in.  For me, it's really quite annoying, but for others it may not be.
+The highlight of the concert were "Come Talk To Me", which has Gabriel emerging from a phone booth and he inches towards backing vocalist Paula Cole, "Solsbury Hill" (a classic!), and "Shaking The Tree". Most, if not all, of the songs are book-ended by African vocals and tribal beats. It is beautiful how they meshed together the songs. With strong musicians (his longtime bassist Tony Levin especially) and backing vocals from Paula Cole (who has had some fleeting success in the mid-90s as a solo artist) and Shankar on violin and vocals makes the sound well rounded and pleasing to the ears. Gabriel himself is always an energetic and spirited presence, dressed like Han Solo and doing his odd dances and mimes throughout the show.

+Stripped of artifice, some of these performances surpass the more elaborately orchestrated originals, "Dying on the Vine" and "Hallelujah" in particular.  (Not to knock the late Jeff Buckley, but his version of "Hallelujah" is to Cale's as boys are to men.)  Despite his limited vocal range and the simplicity of the instrumental accompaniment, Cale manages to convey a kind of hardboiled maturity that virtuosos like Buckley can't touch.  And he can still scream ("Leaving It Up to You.")

+A few years ago, I wrote a review for McCartney's ''Back To The Egg'', saying it was the one album I truly would not give away of his. The first side <Reception through to Arrow Through Me> alone of that album is something I would recommend to anyone, especially the ones surprised I would recommend a McCartney album to anyone! The sound quality of ''Back To The Egg'' (which was engineered by Phil McDonald - Harrison's engineer for 12 years) beats everything he released between 1970 and 1978, and after. Except for 1986's Hugh Padgham produced/engineered 'Press To Play', and this album, 1971's RAM. And the thing I've noticed about these 3 albums, is that McCartney stops trying to be ''McCartney'', and he actually starts writing songs that interest him first, and not the general public. By all accounts 'Back To The Egg' and 'Press To Play' are NOT the McCartney fan's favourite albums. But to me, a non-McCartney fan for all the stuff he does that pleases them, finds absolute pleasure in the albums he does which tells them all there's nothing here to interest you if you liked 'Yesterday' and 'Hey Jude'. Funny that.

+There are so many more things I would love to mention if I had space, like the way Sweet on the album isn't afraid to be a fan of pop idols, as seen in his love song to Winona Ryder (whom he didn't know) or Tuesday Weld (whose photo appears on the album cover) or Madonna (who is thanked in the credits with the words "hey, you never wrote me back").  A great album, and one that has held up magnificently over the decade since it first appeared.

Every song on here is a breakthrough for this extremely talented musician. Some songs I remember hearing when I was very young.

British import The Children is by and far such a film in this year's Ghost House Underground lineup, and it may in fact be the ballsiest horror film you'll come across right now.  A family get together turns deadly when a virus infects the young children, which subsequently causes them to attack and murder the adults.  As they fight for survival, it becomes clear that director Tom Shankland (The Killing Gene) is quite simply going for the throat of the viewer, as he pulls no punches in presenting some shocking scenes of brutality and bloodletting.  Not to mention the fact that the film is actually suspenseful and it features a simply dynamite ending, The Children winds up being a blood-curdling shocker.  The film's editing may be occasionally sloppy, but regardless of that, The Children is definitely worth your time if you're a horror fan.  Be on the lookout for the gorgeous Hannah Tointon, who may in fact be a star in the making.

+4854	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	It has been more than 30 years since the hypnotic chords of Roundabout first swirled through the airwaves.  Today Yes, both in the studio and live, are creating some of their most vibrant, cohesive, and satisfying music in since their classic period (The Yes Album through Going for the One).  The House of Yes is an exhilarating testament to Yes remarkable musical Renaissance.  The concert blends classic Yes favorites with material from the latest Yes album - The Ladder - and captures the band on an exceptionally good night.  This set manages to capture the blistering energy of Yessongs (1973) with the technical polish with the sonic and video quality of Keys to Ascension (2001).  Jon Anderson, amazingly, is in better voice now than he was thirty years ago, and he has evolved into a charismatic stage presence.  Chris Squire possesses one of the most distinctive bass sounds in rock music, and he and drummer Alan White anchor down one of the best rhythm sections in rock music.  Steve Howe is simply in a class by himself, displaying remarkable versatility and technical prowess on close to a dozen different guitars throughout the set.  In a band with a guitarist of the caliber of Steve Howe a Yes newcomer like Billy Sherwood might seem superfluous, but Sherwood acquits himself quite well, as does keyboardist Igor Khoroshev who fits in very capably with the band.  But aside from the individual excellence this line-up really plays well together.  The vocal sound is strong, assured, and the instrumental portions energetic, cohesive, even stunning.  33 years is a long time in the life of a band. Over the years Yes has had numerous incarnations and more than a dozen different members have passed through its roster.  Yet the musical adventure that is Yes continues.  The Beatles may have been the most influential band in rock history, and the Rolling Stones may be the greatest live "club" band, but Yes is proving to be the most enduring and accomplished.
+3) Up, Up, and Away--Sappier than "Up With People", believe me. This is the song that earned poor Jimmy Webb the opprobrium of  generationally contemporary songwriters and socially closed a lot of doors to him.

+If Ocean's music has survived reasonably well, Ocean himself has not.  Ocean was a very consistent performer and writer--perhaps a shade too consistent for his own good, for after several years there was a general sense that his music was repetitive in both style and content.  When combined with changing tastes and a few brushes with the law, it was enough to precipitate a sudden slide from the glory days of fame to an almost complete obscurity; although he continues to write, record, and perform in Europe, he is now largely forgotten by the huge international audience he once commanded.  Generally recommended, but primarily to those recall him from his 1980s heyday.

This album infuriates me because aside from sounding so drab for being a "heavy" rock band, it totally reeks of dishonesty for the fact that it's marketed as an intelligent slab of music yet it tightly-clings to such juvenille aesthetics that don't gel at all with aesthetics that are supposed to be "higher class."  Even if the juvenille lyrics in some songs are supposed to be ironic humor, it didn't work because I'm not laughing.

Some of my particular favorites are Nine Types of Industrial Pollution, the main title theme, the "return" of Suzy Creamcheese, Dog Breath (a theme that would later be orchestrated), a funny, kazoo laden version of God Bless America, a great free jazz workout by Ian Underwood, one of Zappa's most amazing musicians, but the award has to go to one of Zappa's signature instrumentals, King Kong.  The themes of King Kong kept drifting back into Zappa's universe, but here you hear the song in its pure, unbridled majesty.  All of the movements are equally mesmerizing, and you can hear why this song is considered one of Zappa's best.

+Liza Minnelli fans will enjoy Liza singing several songs on this DVD; she performs the classic "Gypsy In My Soul;" It's Just A Matter Of Time" and "Who's Sorry Now." One Amazon reviewer writes that at times Liza seems gawky and not at ease with the audience to the extent that her mother is--but, of course, Liza was a mere eighteen years old when this was filmed. We need to give Liza credit for doing as well as she did-- especially when she was paired up with her legendary mother. Working with her mother onstage must have presented a challenge to Liza; Judy Garland was tough to follow. Indeed, after one song Liza comes back on stage and says "How can I follow that?" Of course, this was a scripted line; but it was truthful, too.

The cd is really in the great style of Guns N Roses and The Stone Temple Pilots which most of us missed since both bands have broken up.

Remember the commercial starring her??  The opening track, "Nobody Does Me" is a display not only of her range, but her strength. Her voice has got to be in her feet.  Okay, it's oversung. The second track, also recorded by Roberta Flack and written by Marvin Hamlish "All Caught Up In Love" is a bit more suitable.  "Touch" is a great song programmable for contemporay jazz stations. "Deed I Do" is not only a great play on words via her nickname "Deedles," but is a tasty duet with the late Joe Williams. The song, in context with the contemporary jazz/pop feel of this album, sticks out a bit at first, being Big Band, but it breaks the mood nicely. This song finds a home later on "The Very Best Of Diane Schuur" and it makes for a nice fit. Buy the disc, you'll hear what I mean.

It's truly bad, yet you just can't help but listen! My two faves are his covers of `Mr. Tambourine Man' and `Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds'. In both of these, he sounds like he's comin' down off of some really bad trips (which I believe was the idea in the first place!). Just cue this up at your next big Trekkie eppie marathon and let `er roll!

The vocal experimentation hasn't certainly ever gone as far as on this album. That's not all. Some of the album is even played backwards. Like all Zappa's albums this contains a lot of bizarre humour nad hidden hooks. The album is very unique mix of live and studio material. Even though it's great it doesn't get five stars because music is in some places too improvisational and lacks structure.

Andrea Bocelli's singing comes from within his soul and inner self, as demonstrated by his incredible expressiveness of what he is singing.  He also has a huge lung/breath capacity, and to me unimagineable capabilities in controlling it.  I am definitely not an opera officianado, but thoroughly enjoy this concert of familiar exerpts including some in duet with Nuccia Focile.  The sections of the tape which are of him speaking of his home and family are especially endearing and much appreciated.

Keith Moon, while not the most technically proficient player, seems inexhaustable in a constant whirl of energy and always hilarious; the consumate showman.  The interplay between he & Townshend is quite funny & Townshend is in his prime, an energetic dynamo himself with the classic windmill always generating excitement.  "Young Man Blues" in particular from this show is worth the price alone.  Let us not forget the incredible Entwisle & Daltrey.  The only reason I didn't give this five stars is that Rhino put this together quite sloppily.  The song playing many times isn't in sync with what we see on the screen as other reviewers have mentioned, but it is a valuable historical document of one of rock's greatest of all time.  I don't see anyone replacing them or the Stones in the current "changing of the guard".

It is, unlike a certain Renaaay who tries to sing anything and everything as a huge, incoherent slur, a very beautifully and artistically sung Handel recital.  The tone is simply magnificent!  And no other Handelian artist has connected her singing of the role with a dramatic sense that is so acute as her performances of the role.

Mr. Bowie sometimes misses along the way with the translation, but he gets an A for the ambitious effort.  Gone are the glam-rock stylings of Ziggy Stardust & Aladdin Sane as they are replaced by futuristic sounds and landscapes.  The album has a doomed sound to it that expresses the somber mood of the book.  The title track & "Rebel Rebel" are deserved FM radio classics, but songs like "Sweet Thing", "We Are The Dead" & "Big Brother" show Mr. Bowie's to shake things up. He had always had a willingness to breakaway from one style and try another.  Diamond Dogs is not as complete an album as some of his other releases, but it is another essential piece of his musical puzzle.

+"Stinkfist" is one of my favorite Tool tracks, a terrific opener, but it's the second song, "Eulogy" that really grabs me by the nuts and doesn't let go. This, for me, is like perfection at all levels, not the least the lyrics department. The way Maynard sings "you claimed all this time you'd die for me/why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?" there's just something utterly beautiful on the tone of his voice - which also happens in most of "H.", the track that follows.

And Renzi gets to show off his classical chops on a stunning performance of Jerome Kern's "Pick Yourself Up."  Fred Astaire fans will be taken by Mel's impersonation, on the verse leading into the chorus, of Ginger as well as Fred (it instantly brought to my mind the original scene (from the George Stevens' mid-30's classic movie, called "Swing Time"), making me wonder why most singers simply ignore this part of the song.

+ The only beef I have is Paul's ill-chosen falsetto, which is usually put to good use, but here sounds out of range and thin. He ruins a GREAT send-up that way; four and a half minutes in, he starts doing some pretty funky vocal contortions that leads into what could have been a contender with John's "Hey Bulldog" for manic, back-and-forth fadeout chatter-"Try some of this, honey", Paul encourages; "What is it?", a gutteral voice asks.

You know, the albums that you absolutely would need to listen to if you were trapped on a desert island.  There is just so much to listen to on this CD, but also so much to to learn.  This album's best qualities are its lyrics.  The basic theme of the album is about opening up and looking at things a different way, and after listening to this CD, you may very well listen to modern rock music in a different way.  Complex rhythms, subtle yet powerful guitar playing, and vocals that somehow soar over all the monstrous sounds below.  Tool's song structure is also something worth mentioning.  I've never seen a band capable of playing one riff so many different ways and exploring which ways it can go.  Forty-six and 2 is basically the same riff over and over again, but it gradually changes, and by the time the song ends, you realize that its still the same riff, just another possibility for it.  But anyway, this is a superb album, a must for anyone who wants to learn something new from a rock CD.  It captures every mood and will leave you spellbound.

+For some reason, the Eagles are loathed by most alt-country and "progressive" country bands - probably stemming from Gram Parsons' and several prominent rock critics' dislike of them - while being embraced by many current Country Radio artists and fans. Emmylou Harris and Chris Hillman don't even like the term "country-rock" and look like you poo-pooed on their cowboy boots if it's mentioned to describe their music (they prefer Parsons' term "Cosmic American Music" - which I don't think will ever catch on). But to be honest, Gram must have been a little envious of the radio play the Eagles were getting, while he was getting virtually none. Current Country artists, such as Toby Keith, certainly have more in common with the Eagles (at least Henley and Frey) when it comes to arrogance and the personal dislikability factor.

+Like the reviewer from New Jersey, though, I was shocked and somewhat disappointed with the audio remixing of the videos. While there are some audio surprises (such as the echo effect of Stewart's drums on songs like "Can't Stand"), some of that "Police sound" has been distorted, muffled, and/or flat out eliminated in the remastering. Andy's wonderful ethereal guitar work on songs such as "Message in a Bottle", "Wrapped Around Your Finger", "Every Little Thing She Does...", and "Walking on the Moon" (that wonderful jangling chord that introduces each line in the verses) has been minimized or removed entirely.  Sting's vocals are too loud, echo-y, and overshadow the work of his band members (for example, in "Every Little Thing" or "Every Breath"--in the case of the latter, his fadeout vocals are completely gone).  Stewart's drums are at times too loud and tinny; at times his wonderful drum fills are missing completely.  Overall, the sound has a more hollow and sterile feel, and the goal to create a crisp digital sound has taken away the warmth of the evenly-mixed masterpieces this trio created in their all-too-short career.

The line up consisted of Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Alan White, Billy Sherwood, and Igor Khoroshev. The show was taped and filmed for both a radio show and a cable special. What was released here is the edited version, for broadcast and omits both Close To The Edge and Hearts. This release opens with a hot version of Yours Is No Disgrace followed by a snippet of Time And A Word with Jon singing the first verse while Igor plays with the opening. The band then jumps into a hot version of Homeworld (The Ladder) from the new album and follow it with the rarely released on dvd, Perpetual Change. The band then follows up with two more new songs, Lightning Strikes and The Messenger. Jon and Igor go back to their Time And A Word bit by playing a short snippet of Ritual. And You And I, It Will Be A Good Day (The River), and Face To Face continue the band's hot streak. The show ends in fine form with good versions of the band's most performed songs: Awaken, I've Seen All Good People, Owner Of A Lonely Heart (with the rarely released Cinema as it's lead in) and Roundabout. The picture quality and sound are good although there's a bit too much high end and not enough low end on the audio track. This is an interesting release in that it contains so much from the great album The Ladder which would disappear from their set lists shortly afterword. By the time that this was released a year later, Billy was gone and Igor would leave shortly after.

The raw power of the Beatles and their music defined "cool" for me and started me on the bumpy road to being a bar band musician. Little did I know at the time that ground zero for 'cool' was a wonderful artist who was already up and running with a voice from God and beautiful, almost cinematic songs. Roy Orbison simply strapped on a guitar, stood there in front of a microphone and....sang. That was all he had to do to bring down the house, and I did not realize that fact until the first time I watched the "Black and White" concert filmed at the Coconut Grove. Goosebumps and tears flowed freely for me, for I had never seen or heard a more shatteringly emotional body of music. I grinned alot, too, as master Telecaster jockey James Burton traded licks with a surprisingly good Bruce Springsteen, and even Roy himself bent the strings of his Gibson with the essence of 'twang'. The gals singing backup were simply the very best singers in the business--the killer crew of Ms. Raitt, Warner and Lang...If I could have been up there playing with Roy on that stage, in that company of artists, 30 years of bar band gigs would finally have some meaning. I feel that God granted Roy this performance for all of us to see and hear him for what he truly was--a legend and an icon for an era when music was still really good, and 'cool' did not require on-stage histronics, so-called alternate life-styles and stupid clothes.

This is a truly Latin album with excellent beats and an all-around good feeling! There are deep songs "Adore", "Crystal Clear", "You're Not There", the very Latin- "Escuchame", and the very pop-Latin inspired songs like "Everytime I Fall". This is a VERY good album, and I guarentee that if you love latin, you'll love Jaci!

You don't have to hate it just because you don't understand it. I personally have learned a lot from Tool, and from the philosophy they reference. I don't think Maynard really means to be taken so seriously as a lot of people try to. He's got a good sense of humor, and many of his songs that offend so many people are tongue-in-cheek and simply done because it's offensive. The whole concept that Tool is trying to get across is to think for yourself, and question authority. It's not to follow them like sheep, or worship them, or worship anything for that matter. So many people waste so much energy trying to do what they are told, or what they think they should do to gain status or posessions and it's sad. Everything we are tought by institutions is meant to keep us in line, and baaa-ing like sheeple throughout our seemingly meaningless lives. You don't have to like Tool, you don't have to do anything, but we all need to think for ourselves, and we need to question the very concept of what we think authority is. We could be a lot happier if lived life for the purpose of enjoying it, and helping others enjoy it, instead of for the purpose of stuffing our pockets with dirty paper for the benefit of those who print the paper. I want more for my kids than to have them lead a life in a cage. I'll be damned if they're going to grow up with the same, bassackwards outlook on life as everyone around them. This'll give them something to listen to as they break the mold, and live a truly free and happy life.
+649	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	There are six hits on this album, but even the non-hits seem recognizable upon first listen. The anthemic "Born in the USA," sung by Bruce Springsteen in his booming, gravelly voice, is a rebellious tune about the cruddy treatment Vietnam veterans received after returning home from the war. Undeniably, the arena-ready, proud sound of the song is deceiving. If anything, its bold intent was designed to convey the opposite feeling of pride in one's country, which is why Springsteen snagged the song away from Ronald Reagan during Reagan's re-election campaign in the 1980s.

Whoever had this original tape did an excellent job preserving  it as it is crystal clear and the sound is above average for its' age.  My  main dissapointment with it is the fact that it lists "Melissa"  on the cover, yet all you get for that song is about a 2 minute acoustic  intro taken from a tv studio tape - no singing and the guys look clearly  stoned out of their minds!  Still, though, it is a gem if you're an ABB  fan (no, I didn't say ABBA).  I had the VHS version of "Great  Woods" and I thought that stunk.  This is a much better show.

Beauty essentially due to the perfect blend and contrast between the various voices. The two alti and the two soprani are absolutely marvellous in their complementary values and hues, and they enhance the bass and the tenor in a unique way. Intensity due to the debate in Maddalena between carnal love and spiritual christian love. This debate is represented by the fight between the two alti, Amor Celeste and Amor Terreno, redoubled with the same debate between the two soprani, Maddalena and her sister Marta, and then amplified into a universal debate about the capabitily for women to repent, to amend and to be forgiven and saved. This debate is contained in the confrontation between the bass, the priest of the Temple, and the tenor, Christo himself representing the Church of Christ. This fascinating opera hence gets to a high level of modernity since the main question is that of the freedom and equality of women.

+There are a couple distinctive features of the recording.  First is the expert rhythm section of three British musicians--Brian Lemon on piano, Dave Green on bass & Allan Ganley on drums.  They are all excellent players whose comfortable swing puts many North American rhythm sections to shame.  The other feature here is the repertoire, which is mostly (except for "Bernie's Tune" & Hamilton's original blues "Setagaya Serenade") extremely well-worn standards like "Autumn Leaves" & "Indiana".  According to the liner notes the tunes were chosen in a poll by readers of Japan's _Swing Journal_ as "titles they would most like to hear on a Scott Hamilton recording".

Every song is amazing, Maynard James Keenan is the best singer out there, in my opinion. (especially with A Perfect Circle.) And all the other instruemts flow perfectly with each other. How did I find out about them? A friend told me to download "Stinkfist"... I didn't know what to think, because back then, I really didn't like that much music, but after a few listens I was hooked, and eventually bought it. There is only 9 actual songs on here, but they add up to about 65 minutes of music. The fillers in between the songs are there to let you take a deep breath in betwen the songs because they're so good. ;) Each songs is very unique, the lyrics are meaningful and don't suck, and I just have to mention again, that Maynard is an outstanding singer that sends chills down my spine [so does Chino from Deftones ;) ] I am not going to suggest any songs because each and every one is incomparibly different from the next and amazing... Anyways I don't see how anyone can call themself a music fan if they don't own this album. Buy it now, and you'll see.

+All of the guest appearances come off, with  the exception of Lauryn Hill to me.  She is undoubtedly a talented artist  but her rap does not fit with the song at all.  Dave Matthews and Everlast  are both faultless in slower tunes and the funky R&B tunes on Maria  Maria are mixed with the splendid vocals of The Product.

+DVD version is cool just  because you can access all the songs just as if they were on CD, plus you  can turn on the subtitles and read along with the lryics.
+Downbound Train is a real heavyweight here, too. Although it wasn't released as a single, it's gotten a lot of airplay on AOR radio, and has become a fan favorite over the years. It's a minor-key dirge that laments a life falling apart. When Springsteen sings a song like this, his compassion draws you in and makes you feel the reality of the situation.
+Many other people have said a lot about Crossroads and given it very high praise which is fine by me except inasmuch as they neglect Spoonful (and 'I'm So Glad', 'Politician', and 'Sitting On Top Of The World' in the live versions found on 'Goodbye Cream').
+"What a Shame About Me" pulls weight too, getting back to the roots of Steely Dan, telling suburban tales the way "The Caves Of Altamira" and "Everything You Did" used to, while resembling "Hey Nineteen" slightly. "Almost Gothic" is one of my other favorite tracks here, smooth and cool, the way alot of their material is these days. But it doesn't slide into the category of filler material. Old Steely Dan fans will feel right at home when the recognize the familiar saxaphone, ever present in the classic stuff. Following is "Jack Of Speed", also to be recognized. The last highlight is 8 and 1/2 minute track "West Of Hollywood". You remember how good the old songs that were this long were, like "Bodhisattva" or "Time Out Of Mind"? Well this is a repeat. It took me a few listens to appreciate it and understand it for what it is, but it soon became a favorite. The lyrics end about half way through the song and the rest is just the signature Steely Dan beat with the long saxaphone solo we've come to love, so its a good listen.

It was wisely ditched as 'too' much - thereby leaving United Artists to use Byrne's stunning 'guitar in his lap' painting instead. There are hugely personal liner notes by friend and fellow musician RAB NOAKES with the text peppered by photos of the terminally unhip Rafferty with his trademark tinted glasses and straight hair.

I also cannot believe that there were not anymore live performance available for this feature. There are WAY too many lip-synced performances being shown in this film. There is, however, those truly great pop songs which is the only reason this release rates 4-stars. I'll give the direction 2-stars. Once again Badfinger gets the shaft.

+The title track is a personal favorite. Like most tracks on here, it's very dark, and has great musicianship. It begins with (what sounds like) repeated whisperings of "Hey, hey, hey," then Adam churns out a riff which will probably be stuck in your mind all day. There are some more (soft-hard, fast-slow-fast) tempo changes, and the drums become increasingly fast. But the song's vocals and lyrics are even better than the music. Maynard's lyrics are relatable; this song is a rare occasion, where they aren't scientific or mathematical. This song's subject matter is about being tired of worrying about the small things in life, and just wanting the whole city (Los Angeles) to be flooded and flushed under.

After I finished both sides I wasn't surprised why this album ended the twenty-some-week-long reign of "Saturday Night Fever" on the Billboard U.S. Album charts.  To this day every song remains an exquisitely crafted, wholly inspired and literally everlasting experience of which even casual listeners are never likely to grow tired.  Even the most eclectic track on the album, the six-minute-long opener "The Ark," is still sure to satisfy the most discriminating connoisseurs of the best that Top 40 pop in general has to offer.

This track, the album opener, is an amazing proto-thrash metal classic that is incredibly heavy for 1973! However if listeners were aware of the bands first two albums then they would be as surprised at the aural violence wreaked by "Breadfan".  `Never' also contains other notable tracks which curiously feature two other heavy long songs, two short acoustic ditties and a ten minute "power ballad" that closes the record, "Parents". The latter song is probably the LP's other key track as it has appeared on several compilations of the band's finest works.  "Powdered Milk" and "Tyrefitter's Hand" are exceptional tunes, complex and both feature the Budgie trademark of an absurd title.  "Powdered Milk" actually changes course about halfway through its eight minute running time where Tony Bourge (?) takes over as lead vocalist and sings what seems like an almost completely different song! A cover of "Baby Please Don't Go" also graces the third record and although this songs has been covered by many a hard rock band, Budgie's version seems a little more distinctive.  `Never Turn Your Back on a Friend' ensured the band modest success in Europe as a headline act but still didn't make much more of a cult dent in the States but Budgie would plow on. With a number like "Breadfan" to open their shows, fans in the USA would have to wait another three years before Wales' unique power trio would come to apply the bludgeon to their skulls.

+The only problem with this album -- and the reason I regard it as a slight decline from the magnificent ALADDIN SANE -- is that it is too varied. 'Rebel Rebel' is a great single, but its Stones-like theme jars with the rest of the album. '1984' takes its orchestral cue from The Temptations' 'Papa Was a Rolling Stone' -- a theme not reprised again until 1977's I ROBOT by the Alan Parsons Project. 'Rock N Roll With Me' is Bowie trying to sound like Dylan and the Band.

Too Short just dropped a near classic album. And The Click was on point, reppin' northern Cali area. 40 Water comes out with his third solo album In A Major Way back in'95. The album has that northern west coast vibe that is guaranteed to get listeners moving. A few standouts include "Ridin' Sidewayz" with B-Legit, and Mac Shon. "Spittin'" has a dope bass line too that will hype you up. "Sprinkle Me" is the album's first single that features 40's younger sister Suga-T (she also sings the hook for "Fed"). Bay Area artists Spice 1, Mac Mall, and Tupac drop in for the dope "Dusted 'N' Disgusted". "Smoke 'N' Drank" is my favorite from the album that will keep you bouncing (that pre-hyphy style song). 40's younger son comes in and drops a few bars on "All Bad" to help close out the album.

It is one of the finest performances I have ever seen by these guys but more than that, it is one of the finest performances I have ever seen of anyone.  Their catalog of hits songs is so vast that I had forgotten some of the songs they made famous until I heard them again.  They did a very moving tribute to their late brother, Andy.  One Night Only is a must have for any fan of the Brothers Gibb.  A stellar performance.  It was so tragic to lose Maurice a few years ago but even though we will never see them perform live in concert again, we have DVDs like this to ensure that their memory lives on and on.
+As a LIT teacher and writer,  I have always been intrigued by Becker/Fagen lyrics.  But with this one I  came away asking, who gave these guys permission to make perfect word  choices in pop music lyrics.  There is noone in pop music, including Waits  and Dylan, that has the understanding and command of language that these  guys have. There are memorable lines and off-camber uses of sound  (language-wise)all through the disc.  But there are two things that really  make this one work well. First, their understanding of the power of  juxtaposition.  "Cousin Dupree" and "Almost Gothic"  contrast resplendent intrumental and vocal arrangements with the darker  themes of incest and understated desperation. This is something that  happens to some extent all through the recording. Finally, as demonstrated  especially in "Negative Girl," there is that ability to create  memorable imagery by simply picking the right action verbs and then  allowing them to stand out in near anorexic lines.  It's brilliant and  there aren't that many poets working in America today that can do it.

The only real standout tracks are the two commonly heard on radio - Green Eyed Lady and Don't Call Us, We'll Call You. The rest of both albums are mired in marginal production, sophomoric lyrics and way too much instrumental "noodling." As a keyboardist, I longed to hear more of the great B-3 organ work shown on Green Eyed Lady, but by and large it's absent. Another minor disappointment is the drumming on these albums, too many flashy attempts at fills and not enough solid groove. Compare Aerosmith's classic version of Train Kept A Rollin to the lame instrumental version here. I found myself skipping ahead looking for something worth comparing to the two above mentioned tracks and never found it.

They played 2 other songs including "Peaches En Regalia." It was mostly a blur, over too fast, and I swore I would have to see them in concert. Tragically, unforgivably, stupidly I never ever did make it to a true, full show; one of my all time great regrets. So if you're a veteran of a live FZ show I'd sometime like to borrow your memories.

When Bob Marley and the Wailers hit the stage the audience knew they were in the presence of very special human being. When you watch this video for the first of a guaranteed many times you will be astounded by the magical charismatic vibe Bob Marley delivered to his audience. This excellent live performance captures the essence of his spiritual being and the dynamic energy he displayed. The accompanying musicians are minus Bunny Livingston and the late great Peter Tosh but have no doubt that this version of the Wailers was more than competent. The backup vocals by the I-Three's, which included his wife Rita Marley are as soulful as it gets. See Bob prance and contort on the stage like a shaman, with his wild dread locks flowing about as he casts his magic on the crowd. the interaction between Bob and the audience is a symbionic delight. Whether it is a down tempo number like "No Woman No Cry" or an exuberant original version of "Jamminng" Bob Marley struts his stuff like a man possessed. He had a message to convey to the world and in his short life of 36 years he achieved immortality and accomplieshed his goal of reaching many people. Twenty years have passed since his death and his music lives on and this live concert captures the vitality of his music. If you have never seen him perform this is a good video to get to see why he was and still is such a favorite throughout the world.

+I've bought several vinyl records on Amazon and only had to return one album where the recording engineer had crammed too many songs on each side of the record which requires the grooves to be very close together.  To cram the grooves together you have to reduce the amplitude (volume level) of the audio so the stylus doesn't vibrate very far side-to-side (thus corrupting adjacent grooves).  When I tried to make my music mix on my tape deck I had the line input turned up all the way and the VU meters barely reached -10 VU which was totally unacceptable.  This Beach Boys album does NOT have this problem.

+Bowie and Iggy relocated in 1976 to Berlin, to live and work and to kick their cocaine habits - a bizarre strategy which against all odds seemed to work. The  resultant Low is an album of two distinct sides, an aspect that the CD format slightly unravels. The first side consists of half a dozen bursts of song featuring the augmented full band from his previous tour, albeit treated by Eno, sandwiched between two instrumentals, and including the two singles Sound And Vision (with the vocal doo-doo-doos of Mary Hopkin Visconti) and Be My Wife. Bowie had evidently been soaking up the German music scene and their are echoes of Faust, Neu!, Can and others.

The opening track, She's Loving Me, gives She's Got That Vibe a run for its booty-shaking money, sometimes reminding me of the great Stevie Wonder at his super funkiest.  In Definition of a Hotti not only do the guys explain to the ignorant exactly what a hotti is (I think we all understand this term by now), it also lays down a kicking track by which to educate the masses.  I Know What You Need strikes a fine balance between Kelly's up-tempo dance tracks and the soulful love songs that grace the second half of the album.

He told everyone to eat sh** and he was more than happy to sit in a jail cell if need be.  In some strange way, this apparent lunatic transcended life itself where everything was equal and nothing mattered.  Not life, jail or death.  But he was no lunatic.

Bjork has some of the most intriguing videos out there and this collection highlights just how progressive and artistic she is when it comes to making pieces that compliment her music for the better.  While not as encompassing as "Volumen", "Volumen Plus"  still is a worthy disc for those who want to add to their collection or just want to see what how this Icelandic pixie has progressed as an artist since her early nineties "Debut".

With most concerts you either get thin bass or overblown bass, Alchemy is the rare instance were it's almost perfect.  This concert sounds so good I perfer it over the CD version, though I wish the missing tracks were included on the blu-ray, even if that meant adding a slide show where the video was missing (worked great for Jethro Tull's 1978 MSG dvd).

Its is the last trait of Lennon's personality that most intrigues me. His foul tempered rants at the world are legendary. I was not convinced by his peace 'n love act. This particular album can only be John at his most cynical- convinced that Beatles fans would buy anything that the guys put out there, even if it was a 30 minute sound collage of John changing TV stations, banging away on a piano and shouting out the odd phrase. This is nothing that anyone with a 4-track and a microphone couldn't do themselves in no time at all. Surprisingly though, the effect does become strangely hypnotic after a while. That is until Yoko opens her mouth. Her tiresome shrill, bleating voice threatened to burst my eardrums on more than one occasion, and rendered the whole thing virtually unlistenable at some points.  If it wasn't for Yoko, I could see myself listening to this again- if I was in a particular mood. But the idea of again sitting through 30 minutes of Yoko aimlessly embarrassing herself does not appeal, personally. Worth owing as a curio, and a must for Beatles die-hards, Two Virgins could have been an interesting release if it wasn't for Ono. I've heard her screaming and wailing on other recordings, and given the right environment it can work (kind of) but here it is unforgivable. More (in)famous for THAT album cover, than for what is actually on the record, Two Virgins isn't a disaster, but it isn't particularly interesting either. Some forty years after it was released, it all just sounds a little silly.

Pokinatcha by MxPx is probably the first(coincedence they were made the same year?). Yeah it's raw, but it's  punked up. Yeah it's fast, but it is melodic also. And it never let's up  until the final second on the CD is over. What is really cool about this  Face To Face's debut album is that it is one of those dics you can just  slap in, and let it spin. There are no real yawners at all, just 13 tracks  of pure punk. This is for fans of real punk rock only. I definately  recommend it.

+George Duke steals the show here. This is quite an unbelievable tune. This is fantastic. A funky fist in your face, the more challenging tune of the album from a technical standpoint. The melody is perfect, catching, hard, a really fantastic riff played in unison by the electric piano and the guitar. The rhythmn section works effortlessy on this hard funky vamp. Everything flows easy and hard at the same time. Duke's solos on the Fender Rhodes range among the very best jazz stuff I have ever heard (I own and Know thousands Jazz records). The energy of this tune is so dramatic! Exceptional. What a band! When you think the tune is over the theme returns harder than ever. Wow! It leaves you speechless! What an orchestrated riff! I mean. No words here. THIS IS PERFECTION IN MUSIC! (Frank's fuzz guitar tone here is expecially cool too).

It also chronicles the Ziggy Stardust tour which was huge for Bowie in his cross dressing era.  It's really good if you excuse the fact it was shot with less than top of the line gear.  It still gives the vibe and I do recommend it to anyone who loves Bowie during this time.  This is really some of his best work in a time when many people didn't know what to make of him.
+Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

+If your a fan of the atmospheric, ethereal sound of classic Floyd you'll love 'In Concert'. If you're looking for the hits try the complilation 'Ehcoes'.
+  You may never hear such a cohesive album like 'Midnight Marauders' again.  Even the computerized voice drops knowledge, bridging the gaps between songs.  The subject matter was diversified to keep people on their toes.  Q-Tip educates on the controversial usage of the N-word with quips such as, "You know the word dummy/ other people in the community think its crummy/ But I don't, 'cause the youth we em-brace adversity it goes right with the race/...and bein' that we use it as a term of endearment/".  Phife tells his version of freaky tales on the hypnotic "8 Million Stories".  Large Professor (the only outsider on the production tip) produced one beat which amazingly fit perfectly with the tribe vibe on "Keep It Rollin'".  Who could forget that chant of "yeah, yeah now check the method"?  In spite of the superb quality of songwriting and musicality, the unquestionable standout is "Electric Relaxation".  The song is a crowning achievement of hip hop in its purest form.  Ali hooks up a beat for the hip hop hall of fame as Tip and Phife give a monumental performance.
+1. Alarm Call (Radio Mix) - definitely one of my least favorite Bjork videos.  Nothing much even happens, except for the occassional exchange between Bjork and random jungle creatures.  The only interesting scene is where Bjork bears her fangs to repel a group of pirahnas.  Otherwise, this video is well below Bjork's standards.
+As another U.S. reviewer noted, I, too love the 1971 John Lennon classic "Imagine," but that album/CD alone does not reflect the melodic fluidity nor the versatility of "Ram."  Paul McCartney was and remains an incredibly versatile performer and that continues to come through in all of his recordings.
+But as far as I'm concerned, his LPs go down from this debut.

+Other highlights: amazing pianist Art Tatum does his own "Turquoise," then Tommy, Jimmy, Ziggy Elman, Ray Bauduc and Charlie Barnet join Tatum for a late-night jam on "Art's Blues." In an earlier scene, the still struggling Dorseys are hired by Paul Whiteman; his band performs "At Sundown."

+Band 5: Magda Olivero - 1960 (4:53) - A well sung and acted "Vissi d'arte" by the 48 year old Olivero, followed by the Act III duet from Tosca with tenor Alvinio Misciano.
+From the opening horns of "Steve Biko (Stir It Up)" to the very last beat of "God Lives Through" there's not a bad track on the cd.  Q Tip and Phife are at their best, (check the rhymes and pop culture references on "Keep it Rollin'") and Ali's production is on point. This is a must have for anyone who wants to discover what true hip hop is all about.
+I strongly recommend buying the "Berlin Quintet" albums (Bowie's "Low", "Heroes", Eno's "Before and After Science", Cluster's "Cluster & Eno", "After the Heat"), putting them in a 5-tray CD player, and hitting the shuffle button. Cooooool.
+9165	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Many people consider this to be Tool's best cd.  They may think so, but I am sure that Lateralus is the best.  This is, however, definitely an awesome cd, full of great songs, heavy guitars, and Maynard James Keenan's great voice.  Tool always focuses on music before lyrics, which is good and bad, due entirely to the fact that Maynard has quite the voice.  The instrumentals, however, like Danny Carey's complex drumming and Adam Jones' majestic guitar, make the music much better.  Justin Chancellor's bass is great, too, but the others stand out more. This cd has a load of good songs, but the best ones are track 1: Stinkfist, track 7: Hooker With a P*nis, and track 9: Jimmy. The music itself has almost every element of progressive metal thrown into the mix, making everything about it stand out in a good way.  Another thing that some people will notice about Tool is that they don't sound like other bands.  They're music is bounced in good ways, played with much passion, and comes out in a way that sounds so great and makes sure that Tool only sound like themselves.  The best thing about the music is that even the most diehard fan doesn't know what they will do next.  This cd is focused and displays the best that a band can give, so buy it if you like original-sounding rock/metal.

+Like its predecessor, it is a vehicle for the featured musicians to show off a little in the framework outlined for them, yet it has the trademark Zappa approach, which the true fan, as well as even the casual fan, will notice right away.

+First 12 albums to be released July 31 - followed by 12 more/month for the next 5 months.
+The only thing that may turn listeners away (not me though!) is the use of timbre.  The "1986-ness" is inescapable, meaning that fusion here did exactly what it was supposed to - put a jazz brain into rock production and feel.  Which to me is one of the best combinations there is.  But for this album, be advised, the rock production is alive and well here - ok, it's oozing all over.  The synth sounds are very 80's - if very Chick.  Some of the snare sounds have a big gated verb, and the guitars are distinctive of the period as well.  If you flat-out hate 80's rock, this album may be questionable for you.

Bowie managed to put together a very good "hits only" LP. Begining with the 1969 birth of Major Tom in "Space Oddity" through the Ziggy Stardust period and the poppy glam of "Yonung Americans" and "Sound & Vision", ending with a suprisigly good and funky 1990 version of "Fame". For those of you how have not been living on planet earth for the last 31 years and are unfamiliar with Bowie's body of work, this album is a good place to start. For all the rest of you, you probably don't need this, unless you want to listen to some David Bowie while driving your car.

+195	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I got this CD well over a year ago when I was going through a breakup.  My mind would race at night and I would find it extremely difficult to push the obsessive thoughts of my failed relationship out of my head.  I would stay awake for hours before eventually falling asleep. I read the reviews of this CD and thought I would try meditation.  I was encouraged when my therapist said she had heard of Roberta Shapiro.  I bought a CD player and would just let it run from one segment to the next.  It really forces your brain to push out the negative thoughts and relaxes you enough to fall asleep. She states in the intro that even if you keep it going once you fall asleep, your subconscious mind will hear the affirmations.  Within a week I was falling asleep by the end of the first track.  A year later and I still listen to it every night. I'm to the point I don't even get through the first track - and I stay asleep the night through.  I can't say enough about this CD - it literally helped drag me out of a bad time in my life.

+9028	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	As the others say, there is a lot of jazz improv and intense experimentation going on here; that's plain enough from looking at the liner notes and the nod to Eric Dolphy and his own avant garde jazz work.  If you're open-minded, you'll enjoy the jazz tracks, but they're surely not toe-tapping hits.  My favorite bit(s) on this album is the three-song combo of "My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama," "Oh No," and "Orange County Lumber Truck."  I only wish the jam on "Lumber Truck" could go on longer.  Then there's the culminating "Weasels Ripped My Flesh;" an appropriate title for 3-odd minutes of live, fully-amplified noise.  This is definitely NOT an introductory FZ recording.  This one should probably come in somewhere between #15 and #25 in your acquisition scheme.  It's a great one to have, but it does take some appreciation, even a little bit of work to access.  Enjoy.

+Seeing this performance through a contemporary lens made me wonder, "What were we thinking?"  For a start, the musicianship was pretty boring and pedestrian - even hilarious.  Can anything be more amusing than watching classically trained cellists drag their instruments around stage with "genius in pain" facial expressions while sawing away (badly) at nothing but whole notes? If there were ever a case for why those of us who play a violin family instrument should stay more focused on good technique than bad showmanship it is ELO!  However if you enjoy watching a bunch of beginning players tear up their bows (literally) by wildly overstated maniacal playing of simple pieces you'll eat this stuff up. (Note: After they broke up I wondered why no orchestras picked  up ELO's string players - now I know)
+5874	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Looking at disc one ("In the Studio"), you'll see that the most successful songs are by the team of Jack Bruce and Pete Brown. Bruce was conservatory trained and played the cello as well as bass; Pete Brown was a London-based poet whose lyrics made "White Room," for example, such a great song, set to the classical and rock music of Bruce. Then, we have Eric Clapton's excellent electric versions of two blues classics, placed second and next-to-last in sequence. The three weakest songs, those by Ginger Baker and Mike Taylor, are placed third, fifth, and seventh, in the middle of the album. So, two strong Jack Bruce/Pete Brown songs frame the disc, with Eric Clampton's two (traditional) contributions just within those frames, and Ginger Baker's songs (the weakest material) are in the middle, more or less, which shows that the group was going in three different directions in their last and perhaps greatest album, and that prevents the studio disc from being a totally convincing unit, mirroring the band itself at that time.  If we didn't have the magnificient, driving vocals of Jack Bruce, such minor songs as "Those Were the Days" (Ginger Baker/Mike Taylor) would have fallen flat. In fact, Bruce was really the voice of Cream, since neither Eric Clapton nor Ginger Baker were stong vocally. Their contributions are mainly instrumental (but what fabulous musicians they are!!!). As much as one would like to believe otherwise, disc one is somewhat of a miscellany.

It is a sin just to view this with out ignorance of its content. Regardless, the DVD offers hardly any actually information on the pistols' career, but rather just shows all these performances of the band.

+887	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Reflecting upon the days when Guns N Roses was verile and full of power is kind of like remembering a friend who used to do crazy things while intoxicated but has since gone straight. It's sad. After "Appetite" and the Illusions offerings, we got our ears full of Axl's incessant 3 year old like behavior, and apparently so did the real essence behind Guns N Roses: Slash and Duff McKagan. When you think about it, in perspective, the music of Guns N Roses was always something to behold: powerful, driven, beautiful, and sleazy sounding all in the same hungry riff. Then, it seems, the spectacle of money and fame choked the fierce passion that was heard on "Appetite" (as well as earlier "Lies" and "Hollywood Rose") out of the veins of Axl. But the music survived, and from the ashes of Guns N Roses, which made an "appearance" at the 2002 VMA's under a completely different and absurd facade (Buckethead nonwithstanding), comes Velvet Revolver. One has to question the ultimate motive behind such a move to combine two strangely different and yet very similar elements in one single cell. The product is astounding. The lucid, drugged voice of Weiland over the throbbing music of Slash and Duff bring forth a musical union that cannot be denied in its greatness. The down side is this album will probably be the last from Velvet Revolver, because it seems too good to be true. Also, taking in account the personal lives of the members, which is anything but healthy, it is a runway train on a icy lake with the heat rising. Oh well. Perhaps Axl can make an album with the previous members of Stone Temple Pilots. No one remembers their names anyway.

+9489	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I share sentiments with most of the folks who have posted here.  "We'll Sing In The Sunshine" was an important tune from my early teens (I still remember holding that tinny little transistor up to listen carefully).  It's still a great song, and the whole album is great.  I noticed a couple things on careful listening to the two versions of "Sunshine".  The arrangements are quite similar, although the sound quality on the remake (which was on the original album) is better, the other one sounds like AM.  More interesting is that the lyrics are a bit different.  In the original, reference is to "I'll stay with you one year" and "I'll kiss you every night".  On the album, it was "I'll live with you one year" and "I'll love you every night".  Some things you just couldn't say on radio back then, I guess.  Even for an album, this was more than a bit risque for the early 60s.

+The big-rock sound and grit on this record is no act; these guys have paid their dues, risen to the top, fallen, and have come back to conquer the world. Weiland carries this album in many ways. His versatile voice is like an instrument unto itself. Each song on "Contraband" seems to have a raging chorus that adds razor-sharp melody to the surrounding guitars and drums, and the lyrics are every bit as soiled as past Axl Rose-penned Guns 'n Roses&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Appetite-for-Destruction/dp/B000000OQF/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Appetite for Destruction</a>&nbsp;songs, if not more so. One thing's for sure, Weiland is miles away from his abstract early-'90s I'm-a-sensitive-artist persona. "Contraband" is a myriad of expletive-filled exploits of drugs and sex gone sour, and Weiland holds nothing back. Underneath the music, strange and different-sounding voices are everywhere; in fact, there's so much going on during the course of this busy record that one, or even two, listens are not enough to decide even half its merit.

It encompasses all that is U2 of the 90's.  Great music, huge venues, confused rock stars, and beautiful images.  Truly a Great tour, this video is better than Zoo TV, it's an older, more comfortable, well rehearsed U2, and it takes place right before Bono's voice began to get older and change a bit (see "All That You Can't Leave Behind").  It's the perfect way to end U2's weird 90's romp of music and style, before leaving it all behind to recreate their credibility, and capture a new generation of fans (like me), to remind us why U2 became popular in the first place, and always will be one of the best rock bands in history.  Some treats on this video are the Acoustic "Staring at the Sun" and Edge's solo "Sunday Bloody Sunday."  It's also cool to see live versions of such complex songs as "Discothque," "Gone," and "Hold me, Thrill me, Kiss me, Kill me" mixed in with the rest of the rest of the standard U2 lineup.  And somehow, magically U2 make 20 years of sound flow together with little doubt.  U2 has been and will always be the sound of two hearts beating as one.  How else could a bunch of pretentious Irishmen become the biggest band in the world?

Twista is ripping every song and there is not one weak song on the entire album.  Emotions, although it sounds similar to `Po Pimp', is still a great song and rocks the same vibe as that classic.

As for the, well, rock ballads I suppose you could say, I like Fall to Pieces... at the show you could tell its an earnest track, even if the lyrics aren't amazing.  This song, like any that allows Slash to cut loose a little, reminds me of GNR because more than anything, the sound of Slash's guitar is what makes me think of that band.

+8903	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	A lot of people appreciate Tool. But there are people out there who say their music is nothing but a lot of noise. Those are most likely the lame Blink 182 fans who don't appreciate the uniqueness and art of this band. Almost 10 years after it's release, this album is still exciting and different. No one has yet to match the uniqueness of these guys. When this album first came out, Tool was saying "We have perfected our sound. This is who we are. There is no one like us". That is still true to this day. With off the wall bass lines, creative sounds, and emotional singing....who wouldv'e thought metal could be so artistic? Before Tool, the idea of artistic metal could have been tought of as lame. But Tool has done and perfected it. Their music is so powerful and emotional. It touches my imagination deeply and Maynard has a great voice in expressing his lyrics. Lateralus is Tool in their Prime. I can't wait to see what they can do once Maynard comes back from touring with a perfect circle. I, like all tool fans am anxiously anticipating another Tool album. Theses guys are great!

+Rant In E Minor is among Bill Hick's best cd's, filling in around the legendary Relentless, and Arizon Bay plus the almost as good Dangerous.

His go-to jokes for when he flounders on stage are few and rare inbetween his ranting benevolent faux charm. Poor Willy.

+5930	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	There are two main types of songs on this album, the hard blues-rock and what I'd like to call "Golden Age" classic rock. I pick this moniker, because, even 35 years ago, the lyrics of rock songs on this album took my imagination into places hardly any other rock or even folk lyrics would go . . . for instance, back to the fabled Golden Age [cradled around the region of the Aegean Sea and the eastern Mediterranean ] before the advent of modern civilization. On other songs, even when the imagery hedges into the obscure and surreal, it stimulates both the interior personal and the archetypal within us, as well as the larger mythical and universal regions of our collective psyches. These songs, because of the beauty, passion and confident inventiveness of their melodies and the surety of their performance make it easy to believe in what is being said. The songs are large in scope, sometimes beautiful, other times strange, but always have more than a bit of the power of deeply running, ancient spirit in them. And they are extremely well executed and well produced.

+8032	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This recording is, in my opinion, one of the most impressive performances of Renaissance choral music ever. The Voices of Ascension, directed by Dennis Keene, give performances of great beauty, with perfect blend and  expressivity. Every single number is a musical delight. The selection of  the program is a real asset. The listener has an overview of some of the  most famous motets by such masters as Palestrina, Victoria, Lassus, Desprez  and others. There is room for all kind of religious mood: from the solemn,  meditative tone of Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus and Victoria's Jesu, Dulcis  Memoria to the exultant, festive tone of Sweelinck's Hodie Christus Natus  Est. Keene makes some interesting changes in tempo. In O Magnum Mysterium,  one of the most famous motets of Toms Luis de Victoria, the final Alleluia  part is faster than the way it is normally done. The effect is haunting: a  festive chorus of praise after a solemn meditation on the Incarnation of  Christ. These interpretations are not only excellent in an musical way. The  singers and director convey the mystical and devotional aspects of these  jewels of the choral repertoire.

Anti-flag are your classic anti authoritarian, anti patriotism, etc, punk band. Their main influences being the sex pistols and the uk subs, they create brilliant album. The highlight here is really the title track, you've got to die for your government, which is an ironic attack on the government, reminiscent of the sex pistols' God save the queen and the dead kennedys' kill the poor, among others. I know a lot of people don't like them, because they are getting really popular, but so what, just because most of their audience are posers, doesnt make the message any less valid, or the music any less great.

Those haunting preludes like Message to Harry Manback wich at first you'll laugh at then skip, along with Dier Von Satan(Eggs of Satan) and Cesero Summability(wich is the weirdest tihng I've ever heard) are not spare parts and fit perfectly in the album as a whole.

I love the saxophone playing on this track.  "Song of Bernadette" is a lovely track.  The piano playing accompanies Jennifer's vocals well here.  "Aint No Cure For Love" is a very pretty song with a romantic tone.  "Joan of Arc" is an interesting song about the thoughts and feelings of this historic figure.  I love the beat of this song very much.  Jennifer Warnes sounds so melodic and crisp throughout this disc.  I really enjoyed listening to this CD.
+8627	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	Aenima by Tool is a heavy metal cd. The lyrics are about lots of things in life. Things that are not necessarily mainstream - however the sale of this cd has reached mainstream numbers. So in that sense it is a very mainstream cd even though I find the lyrics to have a very underground quality about them. Song number 7 on this cd is called "Hooker with a penis" for example. The graphics on the cd cover symbols both light and dark. I guess the only way to label this cd would be call it an experience.

+On Old Man River, right before the last verse, he holds a low G, then without taking a breath, slurs right into the verse. Perhaps even more impressive than this display of technical virtuosity is how he stays "in character" after the song ends. The audience is applauding like mad, and instead of acknowledging it, he still assumes the character in the song, a slave who is at his pain threshold. This is what seperated Sinatra from the other singers. He didn't need a six octave range to deliver. He simply studied the lyrics, digested what the writer wanted to say, and put himself in the first person.

+Some of the music herein is along punk boundaries, but in the way that seems to say 'Call this what you like, it's still what it is regardless'.  Surely a lot of people would call The Berlin Trilogy a flop with Bowie at the wheel on a road to nowhere, but this outcome is in my opinion his strongest album.  While the other two albums are not in the least shaky or poorly produced, as would the albums sound by anyone other than Bowie, but Lodger just feels more refined, taking back some pop characteristics while retaining the strong desire to try new things.
+Contraband, the band's first album, lived up to the hype, selling more than a quarter of a million units in its first week in the States, landing it at the top of the Billboard charts. At the very least, the success of Contraband hints that raging, vicious rock n' roll is not on its last hurrah.
+It was only after being savaged by the critics that he eventually turned into a pop-star parody. His music suffered as a result. In my opinion his early albums, Elton John, Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across the Water and Honky Chateau were the only 'serious' albums he ever made (with a few exceptions.. sprinkled in over the past 30 years, but they don't compare in quality to those early works.)

+I think this recording is just about as perfect as anything since Abbey Road.  Each song is a little gem.  I really prefer Alison's voice as it sounds in these earlier recordings:  stronger, more nasal.  She purposely changed it to the softer, more pop-friendly version around the time of the "Every Time You Say Goodbye", I believe.  But her singing is not the only treat; she had won many awards for her fiddle playing by this time, and it shines; and she is backed up by only the best musicians in bluegrass---Jerry Douglas & Sam Bush, for example.
+The 20-page booklet features the same layout as the Gus Dudgeon 1995 remaster in that it reproduces the booklet attached to the inner gatefold of the original vinyl album (has the SACD logo in the bottom left corner). The JOHN TOBLER liner notes from 1995 are there also as are the colour pages with lyrics and musician credits. The only addition is a SACD HYBRID acknowledgement page that advises about the team of 4 who handled this version. GREG PENNY produced, mixed and mastered the Surround Sound version  RICKY GRAHAM did the Digital Transfers at Sphere Studios in London, GUS SKINAS did the DSD Editing at Super Audio Center, Boulder, Colorado while TONY COUSINS re-mastering the Original Stereo Mixes at Metropolis Mastering in London. You get a rounded-corner jewel case with a visible 'SACD Surround Soul, SACD Stereo, CD Audio' side banner to differentiate it from previous issues. I have to say that the audio on the 1995 CD always felt weedy to me  but Im taken aback at how good these 2004 versions are  clarity, warmth and truly gorgeous audio throughout the entire SACD Remaster. I know this album so well that it stills comes as something of a shock every time I play "Tiny Dancer" or "Madman Across The Water" on this Hybrid Disc.
+On this album, Alison and her band, Union Station, work their way through a selection of songs that are generally not well known despite several of them being cover versions. Many of these are old bluegrass songs, but they also include I don't know why (Shawn Colvin) and Lose again (Karla Bonoff). There are also some original songs here including two by Sidney Cox (of the Cox family).
+Filmmaker Murray Lerner did the world a service then by originally filming it and now by resurrecting it.  This is the most raw Moodies live experience on video you're likely to ever experience.  The sound is true to their muse, but striped down to perform live.  It works wonderfully even under the intenseness of a festival with a gargantuan crowd.  It speaks to the times as well as documents a timeless kind of music unique to The Moody Blues.  It doesn't suffer from the manic edits of modern concerts either. There is a pre-concert mini-documentary and then a full, but tightly edited concert set  with a finale blending the actual concert performance with several more.  Its a good presentation that is only limited by the technology of the day making it four instead of five stars.  Basically a must for fans of the classic Moody Blues era.

+That didn't stop the album from being a commercial success. It went Platinum and hit #1 in the US, #2 in numerous countries, and generally Top 10 across the world. Paul achieved yet another #1 hit with "Silly Love Songs", which spent 5 weeks topping the charts. The album's other big single, "Let 'Em In", also hit big, going as high as #3 and a #1 Easy Listening hit to bit.
+In addition to seeing The Who at the top of their game playing music, you get to see Keith Moon bantering back and forth with Pete.  I really wish that Keith was mic'ed so that it was easier to understand what he was saying.  When he admonishes the crowd to be quite just before Tommy because it's a ROCK OPERA and very serious business, I was roaring with laughter.
+Yet the overall feel of the album is rock'n'roll update for 1985 (when this album was recorded). Comparisons with Jerry Lee Lewis are understandable - Marcia plays the piano in a similar style to Jerry. Not much tinkling of the ivories here - they take a real pounding on some of the tracks.

Highlights include Debra Monk's hilarious turn at the mike singing "Everybody's Girl", and Nell Carter singing "Mean To Me" from "Ain't Misbehavin'".  Matter of fact, they're all great!  Jennifer Holiday brings down the house with her signature tune from "Dreamgirls", and Linda Eder tackles the difficult title song from "Man Of LaMancha."  This is a real treat for Broadway fans!

This compilation  was put together in 1989, and Mr. Ocean's '93 effort, "Time To Move  On", even though I haven't seen of heard it anywhere, features him  without his long-time mustache, which I thought had made him quite popular  with the ladies in the '80's, and dreadlocks. I even remember reading  somewhere that Billy was at one time suspected of drug possession or  dealing, but of course one knows that you can't believe everything that's  in print or what's on the screen. Anyway, on to the tracks included on this  CD. The number-one hit "When The Going Get's Tough, The Tough Get  Going" is first. My other favorites are "Licence To Chill",  "Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run", "Loverboy"  (a top-ten hit in '85), my new favorite by him "Get Out Of My Dreams,  Get Into My Car", and finally the funky rap-beat-filled "I Sleep  Much Better (In Someone Else's Bed)". Oohh, very provocative indeed.  So, I think this album is pretty good, strictly from a person's viewpoint  which still has a place in their music collection for solo, group, or  compilations from the '80's, like I do. It's not too bad, really!
+8. All the Nasties-4/5.  This is a truly bizarre song.  The lyrics are a bit odd.  The music is strange, complete with a full blown choir and some odd chanting.  It's just odd.  However, parts of it will grow on you.

For our use it was okay because we ripped a copy on the computer for putting the video on a Sony PSP for my son to watch.  Fabulous video with interviews, beautiful locations, separate performances off the set, and autobiographical background on Andrea Bocelli who is considered by many as the Fourth Tenor, next to the Three Tennors .... Pavarotti, Domingo and Carerras.  The onstage performances both solo and with guests like Sarah Brightman are fantastic.  I highly recommend this DVD.

+  Bowie and Eno had created multi-dimensional electronic music magic with Low,
+White Room kicks the things off. This number opens with 5/4 tempo, and haunting cellos and then builds up into a psychodelic rocker. It is noticable that the song borrows riff from earlier Cream tune, Tales Of Brave Ulysess, but despite this it manages to be an original and inspiring track. Then we have Sitting On The Top Of The World, an outstanding Howlin' Wolf cover. Clapton's amazing guitar work and harmonic tempo changes make this one my favourite. Passing The Time is a bit bizzare composition, but definately a creative one. Slow melodic verses turn into hard-rocking repetitive chorus. As You Said is quite chilly, and it features Clapton on acoustic guitar. Pressed Rat And Warthog, definately the weirdest song on the album (and of the weirdest songs of all), is Baker reciting a strange tale about pressed rat and warthog who closed down their shop with a bizzare melody in the background. Things get back to rock with Politician, a strong blues rocker build around a killer riff. Those Were The Days is another psychodelic rocker with some poetry speaking about the ancient times. Born Under A Bad Sign gets things back to blues; this outstanding blues number never fails to please. Deserted Cities Of The Heart finishes the first half of the album and is one of the most underrated Cream songs. It is a Hard guitar-driven tale with emotional lyrics. The moment when Jack Bruce sings "Now My heart's drowned in no love strams" is so heartbreaking and dark that I sometimes even shed a tear. A masterpiece.

+We get a booklet with a brief essay discussing the sad meeting the author had (a contemporary and musician of Rafferty's)with Gerry just before his death but focusing primarily on a brief appreciation for the original album. While we get credits for all the original songs on the album there isn't any mention of who played what on "Big Change in the Weather" nor if anyone else joined Gerry in the recording studio for the demo (doubtful as it just sounds like him with a drum machine).
+For all u real musics lovers who cannot beleive that someone would give this album less then 5 stars just think about this. Consider the source. Look at the other reviews of all the people who gave this album 1 star. They love bands like aerosmith(crappy 80's band) good charolette(possibly one of the worst bands to come of the generic music machine) and slipknot. people who like crappy music don't even get my ear when they try to rate real music. Their opinion doesnt even count. go back to your simple plan. As for the fillers on the album, i can sympathize with people who don't like them. I used to hate them too. What the f is with 30 seconds of static? But guess what, after time(about 8 years) i started to realize something within these fillers. Even the static track has flow to it. There are background noises that lead somewhere and even the static builds up to a climax. Sounds weird but then again i could just be another brainwashed tool fan. The point is, those fillers are something DIFFERENT AND ORIGINAL. Something not found in most music today. take them for what they are. Hey that sounds kinda cool. Your not supposed to listen to those tracks over and over. another point i have is to say something about those 1 star reviewers who say " don't listen to everyone else they are just hardcore tool fans." this is another ignorant statement. do your homework. read the other reviews. Alot of them are from people who are not tool fans but can appreiciate good music and even some of them use to HATE tool but they gave it a real chance. So don't worry, you 1 star reviewers will come around. Of course thats just my opinion i could be wrong.

Bono did stated however before the segment is shown that they almost never did included this said segment in the film- thinking that many are not likely to comprehend or relate to the grievances that they are expressing regarding the Irish's plight about Ireland's political struggles; which is followed up by their performance of 'Pride (In The Name Of Love)' that wrapped up the flick- with the song 'All I Want Is You' playing in the background as the end credit rolls up.

+16 - The Power Of Goodbye
+Conceptually, this record is a revolution. Zappa dismantles the whole idea of the rock album as a collection of songs. He fills Uncle Meat with litterally 100s of ideas that flow into each other. The music and sound-bytes  don't have beginnings in endings. Rather, they simply set up the next piece, as the album gathers a run-away, hillucanatory momentum. Yet, every sound on this album has merit in and of itself. Zappa was able to let go of the steering wheel only because he understood his craft so well.

+Hotel California would be a five star album if it were not for 'Wasted time' being such a bad song. But you may like it and that may only be my openion but who knows. All I don know is this is a great album and if you don't have it buy now you need to get it.
+1381	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Although "Rattle and Hum" was much maligned in the press as  presumptuous and pretentious upon its original release due to the fact that  the band appears to ingratiate themselves with rock 'n' roll gods like  Dylan, Elvis, and BB King, there is still some great music on this album.  Take a look at the live recordings of "With or Without You",  arguably the best live version of that song, and the rousing "Sunday  Bloody Sunday" if you aren't sure.  U2 usually fare better whilst  performing their own works, but their cover of Dylan's "All Along the  Watchtower" is energetic and effecting.  Of course, some of the songs  are forgettable and trite, such as "Angel of Harlem", which could  have done better justice to Billie Holliday, but you may be pleasantly  surprised.  For instance, viewing how "When Love Comes To Town"  came to be makes the song slightly less annoying; at least you may grow to  appreciate it on a purely artistic level, even if it still does not appeal  to your taste, as is my case.  The cinematography is baffling at times,  such as when it suddenly shifts from black and white to color. (Perhaps  they ran out of B&W film on the road...)  And other times, you might  wonder why certain scenes were not edited from the film.  Some merely  provide a mildly interesting backdrop for some of the songs, such as  "Heartland". But if you are a die-hard U2 fan like me, none of  this really matters, and you'll buy it anyway because you love the band.

+A lot of folks have been critical of the late Linda Eastman McCartney because of her obvious lack of musical skills. I believed for many years that the keys on here keyboard had been color coded so when she performed with Wings she could just use her index fingers to push the appropriate color-coded keys in time with the music. Red, blue, red, red, blue, yellow, green, red, etc. Turns out that might have been true at the start, but Paul got a considerable amount of inspiration from his musically challanged spouse and I reckon his overabundance of talent made up for any deficit she might have brought to the equation.

This includes the re-mastered Ram album, the bonus Audio CD (with eight tracks), the re-mastered Mono album, the Thrillington CD (an instrumental version of Ram, released in 1977 under a pseudonym ), a DVD, a 112 page book, 5 prints, 8 full size facsimiles of Paul's original handwritten lyric sheets and a book of outtakes from the original album cover photo shoot.
+Another two things I would have to see on this collection would  have been the option to see the lyrics appear on the screen, in addition to  motion menus that allows the viewer to get a preview of each video before  actually playing it (similar to the motion menus on the "Matrix"  DVD). In conclusion, I hope whenever Madonna releases her new video  compilation (which most likley will include the videos from her upcoming  album "Music," and videos made in between ("American  Pie"), I hope she decides to also add all the videos she omitted in  the prior two releases, so that her fans can enjoy them as much as the  first time we saw them on television.

She and my 3-yr-old love to sing the "Black!..black!..black!..black!" part!)
+The package is a fresh-eyed representation of Southern California where they're living my unlived life. It rewards repeated listening from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day. Heck, I bring this album out when the vernal equinox strikes. And it's sure be a blast on New Year's Eve.

+In any case, the album is every bit Steely Dan, albeit aged a few years since the rockin' 70's.  It would have been nice to have heard something akin to "Don't Take Me Alive" or "Doctor Wu" on this one....something a little heavier, with less of the cycling vocal hooks at the end (didn't need to hear "how about a kiss for your Cousin Dupree" ALL those times before the fade-out).  I guess, despite the funk grooves in several of the songs, I didn't really feel the edge.  This incarnation of the Dan is more playful, with lyrics like "who says today's a fun day"....perhaps softened through the years.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, though.

Personally, I don't buy what the critics like, and usually I don't even read reviews except for places like this where ordinary folks like you and me can extemporize on our opines, and I figure, you like what you like and I like what I like and all we can do is share and maybe you'll like what I like too, eh?

+7014	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Thorogood's debut had been a turntable hit on freeform FM and college radio stations, fitting well with both those station's heritage artists and the punk rock acts that were just starting to gain commercial traction. Thorogood's no-holds-barred approach had roots in both blues and early rock, and though he was clearly a practiced player, there was a rawness (even a purposeful lack of finesse) that mated well to the rejection of studio-bound prog rock and overblown stadium prattle. His second album doubled down on the swagger of his debut, with a tour de force cover of "Who Do You Love?" whose howling vocal and rumbling rhythm figuratively and literally amplify the essence of Bo Diddley's classic. The set's opening take on "Move it on Over" likewise finds a second gear for Hank Williams' first country hit. As with his debut, Thorogood leans on material from Elmore James, Chuck Berry, Willie Dixon, Brownie McGee and others, wearing his influences on the album sleeve and leading fans to look back in awe. Rounder's 2013 reissue is a straight-up reproduction of the album's original ten tracks, with an eight-page booklet that includes the label's original liner notes. [2013 Hyperbolium]
+Still, I recommend it highly as a brief, but  representative sampling of his prodigious output. Sound quality is  excellent, but not much in the way of liner notes except personnel.  Overall, some of the absolute greatest rock music in history.
+Through this whole CD, you can find several hits, a miss or two, but generally a VERY solid rap record. Twista IS weed medicine.

"Wheels of Fire" was a double-album, which was rare enough in those days, but one album was recorded in the studio and the other featured live performances.  For me the results are mixed and "Wheels of Fire" ends up being rated four stars because I can just about divide the fourteen tracks in half between three star and five star songs.  Reduce the double-album to a single one with five studio tracks on the "A" side and two live tracks on the "B", and you just might have the best Cream album of all.  Fortunately, this is a lot easier to do with a CD.

They started the show with the song "Last of a Dyin' Breed", and they also performed the song "Good Teacher" from this album. The concert was "awesome". The newer members did an outstanding job. The new bassist Johnny Colt, did a phenomenal job on the bass, he had a beard, and wore a hat with a Rebel Flag on the front. His style was a lot like the original Skynyrd bassist, the late/great Leon Wilkeson. This was one fantastic concert, one of the best I'm seen since I last saw Skynyrd with ZZ Top ,last year on thier "Rebels & Bandolieros/Skynyrd Nation Tour" of 2011.

Of course like any greatest hit compilation there can always be an argument here and there "why wasn't that song included or they should have included that song instead of this one". And the more serious Bowie fans may make that case. Still I think this does a good job of showcasing the musical brilliance of Bowie from his early "Space Oddity" and "Ziggy Stardust" glam rock phase trough to his disco phase with "Let's Dance" and "Modern Love" and all points in between. It's not perfect but it is still a good selection of songs that shows the changes over the years in Bowie's career. For someone not familiar with David this will help introduce them to his music. Even for the more serious fan though I don't think this will disappoint.

He's like a LASER being right on target.

I've read some reviews lamenting his weaker and shorter solos on "Contraband," but I don't concur. Slash sounds better and more creative than ever; his solos are scorching. Likewise, other reviewers have complained about the jumbled collision of instruments weakening the album's sound quality, but I happen to like the live feel of the instruments, mixed with Weiland's pumped-up, somewhat over-produced voice.

+Heap's voice was a bit "young" here, though very close to maturity. It's an unusual voice for pop music, husky and quite sultry in the sexier tracks, but capable of lashing out in songs like "Getting Scared." That fire also keeps her from seeming too woe-is-poor-li'l-me. "Shine - I will not cry and I will be mine/I'll shine - shine," she tells us, right before talking about how "madness moved into my shadow."

+Incredibly catching fusion of styles. Extremely melodic and groovin. Everything is here. This tune is exceptional. Some called it the Zappa's answear to Miles "So what", but this is a lot more than a D pedal (maybe was "Blessed relief"? the answear ... I don't know but who cares?). Sure it is a modal tune (Frank hated chord progressions to solo over, he liked modal vamps only) but there's more here as I told you. The theme, the rhythmn and the orchestration parts are far more elaborated and solos are no less fantastic than the "So what" excursions by Trane, Cannoball, Bill Evans and Miles. The bridges are equally superlative. I mean. This is one of my all time favourite tunes. ALL TIME FAVOURITE. The trombone solo here is something UNFORGETTABLE. Pure splendid jazz!

It was less than a year after "Venus and Mars" was released which tells me that McCartney may have been under contract to make another album in a short period of time just as George Harrison was when he made "Extra Texture".

I always seem to be in the minority when it  comes to "popular" music, because most music that is  "popular", is manufactured. More merchandise than music. In the  case of SUPERNATURAL, I'm with the majority. I have been a fan of Santana  (off and on) from the begining, and the energy in this new one reminds me  alot of his first three albums. This has everything that has set  "Carlos" apart from the rest of the pack for his entire career.  High intensity, spiritual, latin infused rock and roll. Add some  contemporary influences, then mix it all together with that unmistakable  "Santana" guitar. This disc gets better with each spin. And for  once,(and with some trepadation) I'm with the majority. A really great  piece of music.

Very effective....It works. I usually will glance over the booklets on CD's for a minute or two, but in this case I had found myself referring to it each and every time the music begins. Those who see them live can agree that it helps to do this as a prep to the shows. The group will perform this CD in its practical entirety at each show for the Holiday Season.

But Spotts, like his predecessor Ira Hirschman, goes far beyond this, stating that Furtwaengler was an enthusiastic collaborator with Goebbels, profitted from the regime, and was virulently anti Semitic, objecting to the mistreatment of Jews only when it would harm Germany's image and cultural needs.

But since you brought him up, I will say one thing. Kool Moe Dee is the one who stepped out of the rap game with dignity.  LL these days is nothing less of a wack, sold out, bottom feeder who would probably stoop to anything to stay relevent and extend his career another few years.  In comparison, Kool Moe Dee never wavered from his priniciples.  And despite the hype machine surrounding Mr. Lady's Lover Cool James, I always thought KMD was better anyways.  In fact, if you think "Mama Said Knock You Out" is better than "I Go To Work," you need to be slapped.  The fraud-show should've been over a long time ago.  Kool Moe didn't lose the battle.  If they ever actually battled, LL would've gotten served hard.  Add onto of that, Kool Moe is a top 5 GOAT MC, LL is not.

"Who Protects us from You?" aims at police brutality, questioning whether the quality of protection varies by class. ("It seems that when you walk the ghetto/You walk with your own point of view...") "You Must Learn" indicts the educational establishment's failure to teach about the achievements of forebears like Benjamin Banneker (creator of the almanac) and Granville Woods (inventor of the walkie-talkie). It's not just young blacks who miss out here. ("When one doesn't know about the other one's culture/Ignorance swoops down like a vulture..") Gangsta rap template "Bo! Bo!

+Like many people, I was initially drawn to this CD after hearing "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)", a fantastic heavy metal melding of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman" and "Carol of the Bells".  The rest of the CD has its moments, but does not live up to the promise of that piece.  I can't say how it compares to Mannheim Steamroller, since I try to avoid their music whenever possible.  In addition to the Spinal Tap styling, this may be what it would sound like if Andrew Lloyd-Weber wrote music to be performed by Rush, Queen, and Queensryche with Slash on lead guitar and with vocals by, among others, Meatloaf, Neil Diamond, and a children's choir.
+Little Liza Jane and Looking in the Eyes of Love are amazing songs. My favorite song, though, has only been mentioned once among 33 reviews of this album, but it's one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard. The melody, the lyrics, and that voice!

+Bruce was surely proud of what "Born in the USA" gave him.  In the same package, he had given music audiences some hit singles to dance to, 80s style, but having gotten them into the tent, could get them to listen to a few more of his bleakest "message" songs, so they could understand his dark vision of America.  And finally, he was able to strip away all the masks, and just sing about himself, the most personal songs has yet issued.  20+ years later, I find this disk a little less wonderful than his best work. I'm a much bigger fan of his 70s albums.  But this is still great stuff and well worth hearing.

The gorgeous multi-layered vocals on "Dear Boy," the playfulness of "3 Legs" and "Smile Away," the top-ten-hit sound of "Uncle Albert.." and the biographical nature of "Long Haired Lady" and "Too Many People" are just a few reasons why RAM remains McCartney's best-ever solo work.

It sounds very experimental. The first seven songs seem more like great ideas put into short versions of songs. However, "Sound And Vision" is a classic, as is, "Be My Wife". The instrumental, "New Career In A New Town" is a marvelous song especially well suited for his live shows. The second half of the album is where Eno comes in strong and it unfortunately represents Bowie weakest songs to date. From "Warszawa" to "Subterranean", Bowie/Eno bear down with boredom. They simply are not as layered as Eno is solo and the vocals seem forced and stretched. This experimental collaboration lasted for two more albums, but this costume change was mildly disappointing.

I wonder if Ms. James's opinion of LOVE'S BEEN ROUGH ON ME would be more generous today, if she were able to hear it as the record it is, rather than the one that fell short of what she had in mind. I have a feeling that what she envisioned (or whatever the aural equivalent of "envisioned" would be) was more along the lines of what Solomon Burke was allowed to do on his 2006 masterpiece NASHVILLE -- an aged but still potent R&B voice that exudes hard-won wisdom, confronting music of an unabashedly rustic character in both composition and execution. It is true that the country influence on Ms. James's album, when not absent entirely (vigorous rock-and-soul jams like "Love It Or Leave It Alone" and "I Can Give You Everything"; a heartfelt cover of Otis Redding's "I've Been Lovin' You Too Long"), is subtle at best. There are a few song structures so purely Nashville as to be identifiable as such no matter how they're decked out ("Done In The Dark," which she and one of her sons cowrote; "If I Had Any Pride Left At All"), and a fleeting guitar twang or underpinning of steel ("The Rock"; the title song), but the greater portion of the album is a slick and soulful affair. The inclusion of a horn section, over the singer's objection, seems to have been a particularly sore spot. If it's "Etta goes country," it's decidedly heavier on the "Etta" than the "country."
+
+I also rationalised that there are a lot of negative reviews on this site of things from the pre-digital age harping on the sound and video, from reviewers who don't seem to understand that these things were never intended to be released on a medium that didn't even exist yet.  I usually find things like the aforementioned ELP disc to be dated, for sure, but also thrillingly rare and historic, and therefore cool to have.  So I usually take any deficiencies in audio in stride and live with it.
+
+The One Caress video is one where the directors must have thought " These Depeche Mode guys, they're very gothic, let's do some overly gothic video to suit the mood of the music " and it's this that makes the video seem out of place with the song. It was gothic for the sake of being gothic and that's not always a good thing ( in fact, I don't know if it has ever been a good thing )
+These techniques are summarized as the five S's: Swaddling (very tight, to resemble the tight environment of the uterus), Side or Stomach position (otherwise known as the football hold), Shushing (as loud as the baby cries), Swinging (making the head jiggle slightly, to replicate the mom's movements with the baby in her tummy) and Sucking (with your finger, or a pacifier in place).
+
+I like the entire CD a lot and it stands tall after ten years as one of the best of its genre. My favorites are the sprightly Jardin, the smouldering Dark Fire, the virtuoso title cut, the languid Recuerdo, the mellow La Tinaja, and what I consider the CD's best song, the dreamy soundscape that is Terremoto.

+The most bewildering aspect of all is that 1980 was a time of very intense and incredible jamming by the band. Its a shame that better representations of this period have not been released.  Dead Ahead does for 1980 about what Steal Your Face did for 1974.  And we all know what kind of year that was, right?

+As the notes say, there is only one instance of overdubbing in this series, and it is on this volume, The selection featuring Lisa Popeil on lead vocals, called "Lisa's Life Story;" a really strange performance. The drums didn't sound right on the original tape, so to insure a good sounding take, the drums were reworked. Also, as a side note, the only studio work in the series appeared on Volume 5, with some studio trickery inserted in "Right There," Roy Estrada's showpiece of weirdness with the original Mothers Of Invention, and an alternate version of "My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama," also the original Mothers, on volume 5, as well.

And about where you were, and who you were with, and what you were doing when you heard those voices on the radio, on the television, or when you were spinning platters (records, for the younger set, okay, nice expression, right?). The artist under review, Roy Orbison, although clearly a rock legend, and rightly so, does not evoke that same kind of memory for me. Oh sure, I listened to Blue Bayou, Pretty Woman, Running Scared, Claudette, and many of the other songs that are performed on this great black and white concert footage. And backed up by the likes of T-Bone Burnett, who may be the top rhythm guitarist of the age (and who has also gotten well-deserved kudos for his work on Jeff Bridges'  Crazy Hearts), Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, and Bruce Springsteen. With vocal backups by k.d. lang and Bonnie Raitt. All who gave energized performances and all who were deeply influenced by Roy's music. That alone makes this worth viewing.

Oh yes, for the clueless, a record player was a machine to put records on in order to hear those guys just mentioned. And records, for the really clueless, were grooved, vinyl plate-like objects that kept the blues away in the 1950s teen night. Just like iPOD, texting, yahoo messaging, etc. keep the blues away from the hip-hop nation teen night.
+This album is easy to press play and listen to from beginning to end. While some songs have more of a socially conscious message, the others are songs about good times. This is a rocking good time and a good way to meet the boss first hand. Pop it in, press play, and enjoy.

For the music performances, they just lip-synched and jumped around a recording studio to "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," "Demolition Man," "One World (Not Three)," and "Spirits in the Material World."  The interviews (which are interspersed between the studio videos) are easily the best selections on the entire DVD.  All three members of the band are interviewed separately during the "Ghost in the Machine" era sessions and explain some of their writing, recording, and playing techniques that they've employed in the album and in their music as a whole.  Copeland, Summers, and Sting are all absolutely fantastic musicians and these interviews bring their individiual originalities and geniuses to light in a very introspective light.

Recorded in  1996, but the old familiar Pete is represented with grace, power, humor and his trademark hospitality. "Well May the World Go", "Hudie Ledbetter" and "The Water is Wide" all sound great. "How Can I Keep From Singing?" and "Old Devil Time" and "To Everyone in All the World" are gems. If you grew up with Pete, followed him in the 60's as so many of us did, and are glad he is still alive and singing, buy this one before it goes out of print.

Maiden, Megadeth, Iced Earth, Type O' Negative and Dio haven't betrayed it, so thats why their fame isn't as popular now days or never will be, because they hate this false metal, and will not support it whatsoever. Just read the interviews by these bands for yourself. Alot of people say if Ozzy didn't support this nu metal, then he wouldnt make any money, please!!

The performance is incredible.  All Peter Gabriel fans should own this, and any casual listeners will become fans after seeing this video.  I don't know what kind of special features this DVD will have, but it really doesn't matter.  The concert itself is definitely worth the price of the DVD.  It is elaborately conceived and staged, from Peter singing "Come Talk To Me" from a phone box to packing the entire band in a suitcase during "Secret World" to the all out party that is "In Your Eyes".  Simply put, it is Awesome.  I have almost worn out my VHS copy and the CD of the show is my default CD.  I own so many CD's that it is hard to decide what I will want to listen to while I'm out of the house so "Secret World" always goes with me, and it never fails to work nicely.

+8294	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Self is a band which combines many different styles of modern music, the thing that ties it all together is Matt Mahaffey's knack for seeding pop hooks within music that typically lives on the indie borderlands.  This album is definitely a slice out of the mid 1990's, and should be looked upon as such.  Think Beck's Odelay, Weezer's Blue Album, God Lives Underwater, etc.  It is, by far, Self's most commercial release, which means it is well-produced but also lacks some of the real experimentation of the later releases.  This has the feeling of short radio friendly hits strung together, and a bit less mature than the later releases.  Breakfast With Girls has the feeling of a more involved masterpiece, it takes more time to grow on you but might be the best introduction to the band overall.  Gizmodgery is my favorite Self album, and one of my favorite albums of all time.  It's hard to find, but if you can grab a copy, do not hesitate.  All that being said, almost all the tracks on Subliminal Plastic Motives are solid, and it is a good place to start with one of my all-time favorite bands.

One of the finest tracks, however, remains the 'Desert Chase', which chronicles Indy's pursuit of the Ark on horseback after the plane is blown up, as he takes control of the truck carrying the Ark & takes out the convoy's vehicles one at a time.

(For all their neverending battles to prove they were a rock group, the fact is that the Eagles had a knack for ballads.)  "Life in the Fast Lane" is thematically similar to the title track, but much more straightforward in its tale of self-abuse.  New member Joe Walsh shines on guitar on that one (and I say that as someone who is not a big fan of his solo work).  Walsh's vocal turn on "Pretty Maids All In a Row" is a nice surprise as well.

Apart from "Victim of love" and "Hotel California", the material is quite weak and very uninteresting. "New kid in town" and "Life in the fast lane" are usually considered great among Eagles fans, but I believe they're both pretty [bad].

Much of the time in the solo is taken up with only a few sustained and repeated notes and the bulk of the solo is made up of bends, trills, and inventive tremelos. Each note of the minimal note count speaks out to us in important ways. It reminds me of lyrics that say volumes with only a few words. It's one of my all time favorite guitar solos.

This is a compilation of two shows that were both aired on cable way back when and unfortunatly some of the best music AND comedy skits are missing. What is here is nice however when you realize that they cut songs like Jack Straw in favor of Me And My Uncle. Most of the acoustic sets from both evenings is missing and when you realize how infrequently they performed that way it REALLY seems unfortunate. Missing also is the great drums->The Other One with Billy Cobham. This would definately get five if it had all that or even some. Still what is here is quite good.
+1382	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Let me preface my review with this sentiment:  U2 could sing the phone book and release it as a CD, and I'd buy it.  Now that you have a clear picture of my feelings for the group, let me say this:  I don't recommend  this video to everyone.  I say this because this production could have been  SO much better, could have better illustrated U2's ability to play any kind  of music they choose.  There's no question that the music is excellent, but  the actual film is lacking.  There's no real interaction of the director  and the group, and when the video was originally in theaters, it was billed  as a rockumentary.  He only talks to the group in one or two places, and  when he does, he gets nothing from Bono, which is really unusual.  I get  the sense that U2 was annoyed with his presence, and in the hands of  another director, this might have been a success.  Die-hard U2 fans (like  me) won't really care about the lack of non-musical input.  The video does  succeed in showing one simple fact:  U2 has remained successful because  they've always been willing to take a risk and explore new styles, effects,  and themes.  And it is because of that one fact that U2 will always be a  part of rock 'n roll history.  Skip this video if you're a new U2 fan;  their music today is nothing of what it was in their younger days.  If all  you listen to is newer U2 music, then this video will bore you.

+5344	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	When the all-digital (that is, "DDD"; be sure to look for it) compact disc first came out many decades ago of Jennifer Warnes's FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT, everyone who initially heard it was spellbound by the rarest of phenomena in recorded music: an unmatched performance wedded flawlessly to unmatched sonic quality. It's impossible to overstate how important that is. Warnes's versions of the title song and the album-opening song "First, We Take Manhattan" are unsurpassed. Also, this is the ideal CD with which to test any audiophile stereo equipment.  If you can't hear the low, vibrating strings on the upright bass resonate with absolute clarity and depth in the title song, trade in your stereo equipment for something a lot better. FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT will make the cost worth it. But apart from equipment testing, which I concede is gearhead nerdy, just listen closely and quietly to this CD--and only this CD (not the later so-called anniversary CD, which has some frankly extraneous tracks that are distracting if not disappointing). You will be utterly transported. If Warnes had additionally covered Cohen's "Hallelujah" (I know it's been over-covered in recent years by too many mediocre singers) on this CD with the same impeccable grace and intensity, I feel certain I would have gone to heaven. (By the way, the second-best rendition I ever heard of Cohen's song "Famous Blue Raincoat" was done by Tori Amos. It appeared on a tribute album to Cohen that featured all guest vocalists covering his songs.)
+So, make yourself a favor and make this recommendable acquisition that will reward you for years to come.
+  Predominantly an album of uptempo music this album brings out all the funk in whatever it does. And on songs like "She's Loving me","She's Got The Vibe","Definition Of A Hotti","Keept It Street" and "Hangin Out" also showcase how R is already building the bridge from the high octane new jack swing sound to the slower,funkier hip-hop/soul sound that was about to explode. The title track is an amazing,funky groove set to a Patrice Rushen sample with a great programmed drum rhythm that actually sounds organic to a degree. It shows the beginning of R's interest in integrating purely retro sounds into his own style. The ballads "Slow Dance" and "Dedicated" say more to his future slow jam sound while a bonus track modernized version of Stevie Wonder's "Hey Love" is included,again placing emphasis on the "retro" aspect of his sound again. Musically the lyrics never go much deeper the idea of being honest with oneself and "keeping it real". But as with most youth oriented music of this era the music itself says all it needs to say. In that regard it sounds maverick,fresh,confident and full of enthusiasm. Also it presented R.Kelly's stance on producing well rounded albums covering everything from hip-hop to classic sophistifunk. Coming out of an era where certain musical styles were way overused what more could one want from an album like this?

However, there are some really good performances of classic MB music here, backed by some pleasant orchestral backing by the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. The recording quality is dated and a bit flat, but that does not detract from the performance. The video is fair but shows the concert, the performers and the Red Rocks pretty well. It is a short 2 hour concert, but is well focused and performed. A keeper for our collection of  the concerts and music of our earlier days. My wife and I are in our mid 60s, as are the MBs, and this concert brings us back to the days of that time. I must hand it to the Moody Blues, they do keep on Truckin! We will go to their concert at Reno this October 2013 and we will not be suprised if they put together a great show! Go For it!
+The video from THIS DVD concert, has been re-done, and looks spectacular on modern large TVs. It chronicles an incredible concert, (however I am still awaiting the Delicate Sound of Thunder DVD, another phenomenal Floyd Concert from the late 80s), captured in October 1994 at Earls Court in London, topping off their US tour of April, May and June of 94.
+On this one album, you have music that's critical (Too Many People, featuring several swipes at John and Yoko), bluesy and gutsy (3 Legs, aimed at the other Beatles, perhaps especially George and Ringo, most likely over their decision to ally with John regarding disputes over their own Apple Records), mystical (Ram On), unbelievably harmonic (Dear Boy, the character in this song which Lennon believed was supposed to be him), avant-garde pop (Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey), rocking (Smile Away), rejuvenating (Heart of the Country), drug inspired (Monkberry Moon Delight), domestic, and probably a metaphor for sex (Eat at Home), silly-but-sweet (Long Haired Lady), and melodic (The Back Seat Of My Car, the final parts featuring Paul screaming "we believe that we can't be wrong," of which John and Yoko thought was aimed at them and thus took great offense). I can guarantee that you will not find an album of music out there today as diverse and artistic as RAM.
+Then comes "Yours Is No Disgrace", a better recording than the original. A nice pop-ish intro, and Steve has a nice unaccompanied solo in the middle (except for Alan White with a little bit of Phased High Hat and Chris Squire shoving in Fuzzy Bass Notes in at times). The only drawback is that after Steves Solo was over they skipped the middle section (ya know; "Death Defying, Mutilated, Army's Gather Near"), but instead right into the end just because they were running short on time. But altogether an electrifying performance.

He went on stage at 2AM in the morning, and looks very tired by the middle of the set. He was plagued with  equipment problems, and clearly not happy with his playing on many tunes.  Many of these were new songs,not fully worked out, and it shows. That said,  however, when it clicks, it's Jimi The Master shining through. Red House is  the stand out track,proof that Jimi was a master blues player. Machine Gun  and Voodoo Chile have some stunning soloing as well.  If you are a novice  Hendrix fan, I would recommend you get Jimi at Monterey instead, which is  easily his best filmed performance.

+It's a new mix of the video, from what I understand.  My only complaint, same as the old VHS version, is now magnified by the increased size of TVs.  The band's set and props create a beautiful visual setting, but you need to be back a few hundred feet to even see it all.  While the special effects are blowing the audience's mind, we get LONG closeup shots of a bunch of average looking guys standing around on a stage.  Several times they went for the fabulous long shot, and took the guitar frets closeup and inset it down in the corner.  Wish they'd done that a lot more.  If you've got a six foot TV, you really don't want to see the entire screen filled with a guitar player's face, especially when you're missing lasers and rockets and 100 foot video images.

+These are the guys (Jack Bruce bass & most vocals, Ginger Baker drums), who started the Led Zeppelin sound (over 2 years before Zeppelin, but Led Zep did improve upon Cream, but they had plenty of hindsight, because Cream did start this sound back on their first album, "Fresh Cream", recorded mid-'66).

If you are talking about social impact, Ziggy Stardust would be the likely winner. If you're talking about scraunching rock and roll performed with an attitude that transcends mere mortals, then Aladdin Sane might cop the prize. For inventiveness, Low could win. It all depends what you are looking for, but if it is possible to judge Bowie's work objectively (a ridiculous thought, actually) then what album contains the best of all his virtues? Probably Lodger.

Yes, this is a commerial album but the guitar playing is still there for long  time afficionados. No, this is not his best work ever but he has crossed  the threshhold to a new generation of listeners. The mixture of alt-rockers  and hip-hopzterz has given him something he hasn't had since way back in  the day, RADIO AIRPLAY. Unfortunately, like everything else that gets  jammed down our collective throats, you may want to gag if you here  "Smooth" one more time. The production work is flawless, overall  a superb piece of commercial pop that is unlike Carlos Santana who has made  many an artistic album with no RADIO AIRPLAY. This is an introduction album  for the novice and will appeal to a diverse audience from wall street to  cholos, from teeny boppers to gramps but the long time fans will not be  dissappointed because they still have all the old stuff that may be better.

I've never seen a boxed set design quite like this one, it's called an "ear book." It's "11 x 11" and fits on a bookshelf, the pages filled with photos, essays and extensive liner notes describing each song. The cd's are filled to capacity and while I wish the extended mix of "In Private" was here, there isn't enough room for the extra three minutes and the bulk of the material makes up for any shortcomings. The songs mentioned in the liner notes but missing such as the duets with Cilla Black, Spencer Davis, BJ Thomas, and the extended version of the Donna Summer co-penned "Sometimes Like Butterflies" can be found on the release "Heart & Soul" on the Varese Sarabande label. This boxed set should serve as a prototype for any collection attempting to be comprehensive as it contains all the hits and every album, including the abandoned projects, is represented. The closing track and Dusty's final recording "Someone To Watch Over Me" is stark and beautiful, it's the way any standard should be sung. Overall, for lack of a better term, I'd say this set is a masterpiece.

The cover, of course, has nothing to do with  the music (neither does the name --there is no song called "Lodger"), but  it sets the wrong mood.  So does the first song, "Fantastic Voyage."  Actually, the first several songs are mediocre.  If the other albums of the  "Berlin Trilogy," "Low" and "'Heroes'" have stronger first halves,  "Lodger," has a much stronger second half.

Positively, in the psychedelic sense, they progressed and moved the music into more formidable areas. What is so amazing is that they made this double c.d. set to show you what they are capable of in the studio- and live! And this shows you the real talent behind this band.

I don't say that lightly.  I'm very stingy with my cash on CD's having grown up when they cost over $20 and all you got were 3 great songs.  Now I usually buy the download song for .88 cents rather than splurge on the entire CD.  Rebirthing made me buy the entire CD and I'm glad I did.  This music rocks.

+Roy's hits from that era are well represented.  "Crying," "It's Over" and "Blue Bayou" shows his vocal range.  "Mean Woman Blues" shows that Orbison could sing a faster-paced song.  These songs have a timeless air to them as well.  "Love Hurts" was also covered very well by Nazareth.  "Pretty Woman" became the basis of and theme song for one of Richard Gere and Julia Robert's best movies.

+5667	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	After the high standards established by "Band on the Run" and "Venus and Mars," Paul McCartney and Wings display their group unity by producing a remarkably mediocre album. Released to coincide with the band's American tour, "Wings at the Speed of Sound" (1976) has two hit singles - "Silly Love Songs" and "Let 'Em In" - the snappy rocker "Beware My Love" and plenty of obvious filler. The low point is Linda's embarrassing "Cook of the House." Despite the tour's phenomenal success, the decline of Wings as a studio entity begins here.

+As never before Springsteen paints a picture of those of us who fail to be a part of the American Dream. There is the obvious post-Vietnam protest song of the title track, not allowing us to forget, and its attack on Reaganism. But there is more. In I'm on Fire the character bears his soul as Bruce sings, "At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet, and a freight train running through the, middle of my head, Only you can cool my desire". Sex being the means through which the character forgets his angst for just a moment. Similar sentiments are found in Dancing in the Dark, Bruce's ultimate pop effort. "Man I'm just tired and bored with myself" screams the character, "Hey there baby, I could use just a little help", hardly a light and upbeat lyric. The people in Springsteen's songs seem to be stuck in their lives, unable to get ahead. The chances the American Dream offers us are accessible only to just some of us. The rest are left behind "just sitting back trying to recapture, a little of the glory of, well time slips away and leaves you with nothing mister but, boring stories of glory days".

+I love David Gilmour's stuff, but quite frankly, this show is done as only Rodger Walter's can do. Dark Side is Gilmour's and The Wall is Waters'. It's a shame they can't be on stage together, but if you've ever watched The Pulse and Rodger's The Wall, you'll see that they don't "have" to be.

+My musical tastes were formed, as were many of those of the generation of 1968, by `Rock and Roll' music exemplified by the Rolling Stones and Beatles and by the blues revival, both Delta and Chicago style. However, those forms as much as they gave pleasure were only marginally political at best. In short, these were entertainers performing material that spoke to us. In the most general sense that is all one should expect of a performer.  Thus, for the most part that music need not be reviewed here. Those who thought that a new musical sensibility laid the foundations for a cultural or political revolution have long ago been proven wrong.

+1501	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	First off, I think everything that could be said about this concert probably already has been, but I haven't read all of the reviews. Here's my two cents...Let me start by saying THIS IS ONE GREAT SHOW!!! Rodger Waters as well as his band are just quite simply - PERFECT! Waters has assembled several(now)legendary guests to help perform The Wall in where else but Berlin.... The album is pretty much performed verbatum. FYI, these guests generally only perform one song and this is generally earlier on in the show before Rodger Waters takes over full-time. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about even renting this because of some of these guests. I have mulled over this DVD and passed on it many times since discovering it's exsistence a couple years ago. Boy was I wrong. This concert really works overall and just keeps getting better and better while building up to a truly amazing finish!  It's impossible to give it justice with mere words. YOU HAVE TO SEE & HEAR THIS! By now, you guys probably already know who's in this. I'm not a big Cindy Laupner fan. She actually does a fine job on this and does so in her own classic Laupner style. It works, somehow..., but it works. And Apparently Rodger was a fan of The Last Waltz, as he invited several members of The Band, as well as some others from that classic concert, to do a couple songs from The Wall album - all in their own unique styles. I'm a big big fan of The Last Waltz and while it's nice to see these guys again, I'd have to say that they are somewhat out of place in this particular venue. They lend a country twang to the song they perform which, in my opinion, is questionable... The most suprising and impressive performance though, would have to be Sinead O'Conner(sp?) singing "Mother" w/ a little help from THE Band. Surprisingly, she may just be the best single guest artist of the entire show. I've always found her to be a bit odd..., but she really hits it on this night. It surprised the you know what out of me! Also, The Scorpians do a great job on all the songs they perform. But beyond the guest appearances, Rodger Walters performs & sings most of the songs himself w/ his band. Let me tell you something. This guy is not missing a beat. Everything he does, is spot on and he recreates the songs much like the actual album. He is definately the master of his domain! He, as well as the show and set are very theatrical & animated all at the same time - just as we've come to expect and then some... I may be wrong, but I don't sense any lip synching going on throughout the show other than "The Trial" song and I'll give them a free pass on that one - you'll see why...

+Rebel Yell was (and is) brilliant because it fell neatly between the hard but approachable sonic rock of Van Halen and the edgy, snarly attack of the Sex Pistols (or probably more accurately, Billy's old band, Gen X.)  More than just rockin', Billy clearly wanted his fans to dance, putting just a splash of disco into the songs.  While being of the 80's, and sounding like it, the album is one of those rare pieces that sounds great 20 plus years after it was made.  It should be on every "top 100" greatest albums of all-time lists.
+I gave a good review to the Landmark "Sex & Drugs & Rock'n'Roll, Greatest Hits" collection, but this collection tops it by containing several favorites not included on the Landmark set. The volume levels of the songs are better on this version as well. There's no real break between the first two songs on the Landmark collection either.

+ Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan in 1999 also formed A Perfect Circle with guitarist Billy Howerdel, The original incarnation of the band also included Paz Lenchantin on bass, Troy Van Leeuwen on guitar, and Tim Alexander on drums, with Josh Freese being the band's primary drummer after the band's initial round of touring prior to their first album. The latest lineup features Puscifer and Ashes Divide bassist Matt McJunkins and former guitarist for The Smashing Pumpkins, James Iha. Despite having a varied cast since inception, the stylistic content of the songs has remained consistent with Howerdel as composer, and Keenan penning the lyrics and melodies.
+* Bootlegging the bootleggers (25 minutes, 4 songs). Bootleg-style concert footage

+You'll enjoy listening to these beautiful time-tested standards penned by the greatest songwriters and composers of all-time.

+
+If anything, Low is an easier album to warm up to than "Heroes" or "Lodger" though ironically, at the time of it's release, was the least accessible of the three albums. Even Low's predecessor "Station to Station" seemed cold and robotic in places where Low has a smooth flow throughout. Classic tunes like "Sound and Vision" and "Breaking Glass" were far ahead of their time. Equally as good are the songs "Be My Wife" and "Always Crashing in the Same Car". Similar artists are Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, and Roxy Music.
+The saving graces for this film (and especially this release) are the parts of it that have been done right. The interview with Townshend is enlightening and enjoyable (though allowances have to be made for his sense of drama). The picture is much clearer than before. The sound is vastly improved. It's noticeable everywhere but particularly outstanding on the bass and drum tracks. Keith Moon's drums sound the way they should. It's amazing how much of what couldn't be heard before can be heard clearly now. The same can be said of John Entwistle's bass lines. Anyone wanting to understand and appreciate his contribution to the group should be watching this issue. The re-master places his contribution where it should be rather than burying much of it as happened with the first release. And then there's footage that has been left intact. This is some of the most electrifying concert footage ever captured on film, period. The Who were a blistering band that made playing rock sound and feel like a matter of life and death. If nothing else this film captures that. As such it's an invaluable historic record for anyone wanting to know what makes rock and roll tick.

But fan or no fan this is a must have for anyone  who enjoys their music.  You will have a new found respect for these three  guys. I also have a copy of The Bee Gees Going Home which I recorded off  the Disney channel  back in 1979-1980.  My copy is totally worn out now,  but if anyone knows where I can get my hands o a copy please let me know.  This was another great documentary on the Gibb Brothers lives.
+Afterward, there's a music video with Martha Snchez, namely "Vivo Por Ella," and then the second half of the concert, which is of course definitely MUCH BETTER than the first. A course of selections from the best-selling "Romanza" CD do him justice like never before. Ditto the breathtaking visions of the land that is his beloved Tuscany and the Piazza dei Cavalieri, where the concert was videotaped in September 1997. Those factors (and Bocelli himself) are worth the whole thing. Similarly, the "Romanza" CD in my book is worth playing over and over again and if you're a true fan you won't have gotten enough of it at all. My favorite part of this concert would have to be the event where that so-called "goddess" among sopranos, Sarah Brightman, comes out to sing the one song that almost everyone knows: "Time To Say Goodbye...."

Madman Across The Water's songs are more like short stories.  The writing is so detailed and precise and the music is sprawling and thematic.  "Tiny Dancer" is a beautiful song and has experienced a rebirth with its inclusion in Almost Famous.  "Levon" is a classic and the title track is a haunting piece.  "Indian Sunset" has the Old West sound that mimes the sound of Tumbleweed Connection.  "Holiday Inn" is a tale of life on the road and "Goodbye" is an epilogue to the album.
+Track 3: (4:15) A haunting, gorgeous rendition of the traditional tune "O Come, O Come Emmanuel". It is sung in Latin, and it makes you feel as if you were hearing the song at its first playing, in a Gregorian monastery. This is precisely the Mannheim Maestro intended, and he carries it off absolutely beautifully.
+The addition of the USC marching band for the big finish was a stroke of genius.  I'd like to hear more of that kind of collaboration.  Wish I'd been there in person to see the USC band march in and blow the roof off the place.  It also seemed to give the aging Fleetwood Mac cast a final burst of energy to go out with a big bang!
+Even today there are places in America where a man in makeup risks being beaten to death with rocks.  In 1973 there were a lot more of those places; this film captures the full brilliance and courage of of David Bowie's talent as a counterweight to the "normal" of his time, which all too often was nothing more than a thin veil of civilization over a lurking, violent ignorance.

He didn't need them to sell a million  copies or ten million.  Santana has been around forever, everyone knows who  he is, and his album will hit triple platinum without anyone's help save  for his fans and his reputation.
+Bowie has always been a genius of style, with a keen eye to fashions not yet on the horizon. Back in 1973, the 1984 of George Orwell seemed an aeon away, particularly for his many teenage fans. To us, '1984' was just an English set text and therefore automatically very, very dull. Bowie's added slant of an urban future plagued by marauding mutant dogs was ... well, interesting ... but it didn't seem to spawn many imitators, in terms of clothes, make-up etc in the same way as ALADDIN SANE had. I suspect the drug abuse that led to the Thin White Duke appearance in DAVID LIVE gave many fans cause for second thoughts about unthinking imitation of their hero. That this particular vision was a vaguely depressing one didn't help its uptake.
+Highly recommended for Zappa fans and fans of 1960s music in general.

+9095	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	It is very difficult to select a single Tool album as the best, because all of them are tremendous.  Alongside Lateralus, I'd have to say this is my favorite, though.  Many people claim that Tool is the greatest band of all time, and I won't dispute that, but I don't believe that most people who say that have any clue as to why it is true.  As far as originality goes, Tool is very original, especially with their layered guitars and strange beats.  Maynard has an amazing voice, capable of soaring vocal solos and quiet whispers that sound great and blend well with the music.  On Aenima, though, it sounds as if they were trying to change their sound, and it worked out for the better.  Opiate and Undertow are also superb, but of all their songs, Eulogy strikes me as a masterpiece.  It is, of course, a eulogy to Jesus Christ, but it is hard to tell if it is sincere or a mockery of Christianity.  The idea is similar to "Judith" from A Perfect Circle, which is equally mystifying.  Anyway, I'm sure that anyone who is reading this has heard at least one Tool CD, but if you have not heard Aenima, get it today.
+3.  Psychophobia - While COT saw us slowing down, this song picks right back up.  Short and sweet.  95%

The overall DVD quality is  superb and the amazon.com price is excellent, too. My only regret is that  we were, once again, not to see "As" (good video, by the way),  and "Roxanne" (which is once again banned in States as of now, I  guess). Well, we'll probably have to wait for another tape to be released  altogether. Let's be patient and wait, once again, for GM deserves that...

Too $hort wasn't a great rapper in terms of delivery, but the beats, the grooves and his lyrics were all amazing and new. He essentially created the "slow rap" genre. This is definitely an extremely groovy album that makes for good background music as well. You could practically play this for anyone and they'd probably like it a lot. The beats may not be as heavy hitting as some other rappers, but they're still really good (simple but effective). Too $hort has a very simple delivery which gives him an odd charm - he makes it seem like anybody can rap. The other great thing about him is his lyrics which are always fun to listen to but aren't necessarily about much. He somehow manages to catch your attention really well. Overall this is just a really original and different rap album - it's historical influence definitely adds to its rating. I don't think mainstream rap fans will like it, but those with an open-mind will like it a lot! Highly recommended!

+The first single "Slither" is a fine example of this. Although being the #11 song on the album, which rarely is seen as the place for a single, the song really carries through. Hard hitting vocals and crashing guitars.

I first became acquainted with her music around 2001 when I heard "I Wanna Have Some Fun" on an 80's compilation. Around five-six years ago one of her songs was featured on a VH1 television show and I saw her in a video featured with Swedish musician Gunther.  My husband played to me a World of Warcraft video that featured Gunther's music. I decided to get her cd from Amazon UK when I had purchased another cd and her collection came under the "customers also purchase" section.  This two cd collection turned out to be a good purchase. The first cd includes seventeen tracks, with seven of those being bonus songs.  "Dream City","The Best Is Yet To Come", and "The Right Stuff" are some of the quirky music tunes on this cd. Disc two includes thirteen songs that are variations of remixes.  "Samantha Fox Deluxe Edition" is best for those who like 80's party music.
+1455	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	A lot of artists dedicate albums to standards. It's easy to see why, as songs that live on for thirty-plus years are obviously the ultimate challenge of interpretation and emotion. Some are surprisingly good (pop diva Sheena Easton's Patrice Rushen-produced set brought out chops we never knew she had) to surprisingly bad (between jazz, country, and Spanish music, Linda Ronstandt apparently thinks she can sing anything, but that's not the case). What's important is bringing something genuine to the table; picking up a Gershwin lead sheet and surrounding yourself with a symphony isn't enough. Thankfully, Carly Simon has plenty to offer on this winning album.

+Star studded band and celebrity audience adds another dimension of interest to the show.  I didn't tell my friends what to expect and there were a lot of surprised people when they started to recognize all the talent on the stage (as well as in the audience).
+There is typical Mothers-style humor here, as with them playing the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in Los Angeles, a kazoo-accompanied "God Bless America," and the treatment they gave to "Louie Louie" at the Albert Hall, desecrating the "mighty, majestic Albert Hall pipe organ" in the process. Some serious pieces offset this, such as "Project X," and "Legend Of The Golden Arches." You get the definitive treatment of "King Kong," and no later band has played it with the fire of the original band performing this.

+In closing, Metamorpho believes that this album was home grown to fit into considerable reflection. Please, if you have a rowdy party it will certainly be out of place.

+"Boys Keep Swinging" has been praised or panned due to its clumsy instrumentation.  That's because as a lark, the band members switched instruments, guitarist Carlos Alomar on drums, drummer Dennis Davis on bass, and Bowie himself doing the guitar solo.  The chauvinist idea that boys have more fun is the theme here, getting a uniform, buying a house, learn how to drive, getting a girl, etc.  And hey, Susanna Hoffs thought enough of it to not only cover it on her debut album, but taking a line from it, "when you're a boy" for its title.  I like this single, but also because of the video, which had Bowie in drag.

Zappa was so intelligent, provocative, irreverent, inventive, audacious, cunning and brilliant, he has become my second favorite artist of all time.  (Steely Dan is, and always will be, first).  For a rabid music fan who owns no less than 20,000 recordings, that is quite a feat.  No one has made such a drastic climb on my all-time faves list EVER! On the strength of Over-Nite Sensation,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Apostrophe/dp/B008I34XUY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Apostrophe (')</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Freak-Out/dp/B008B37CB8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Freak Out</a>&nbsp;I invested in every studio album Zappa released.  I have played these first three albums so much within these past 10 days I already know the words to most of the tunes.  Frank crafted it this way, as OS and Apostrophe were made during his "accessible" period when he crafted a series of recordings to garner radio airplay and sales (or so I read).  For most that would mean a degradation in quality, but Zappa defies category.  He fit his lyrical and musical innovations within an up-to six-minute framework and created some of the finest music ever put on wax.  If you don't know anything about Frank, you're in for a treat/shock.  His 30-year career challenges human capabilities, for his accomplishments did not surpass anybody, it surpassed EVERYBODY!! Not a syllable in that sentence is hyperbole.  I'll leave it to you to discover how. I am enjoying my journey of discovery of Frank Zappa.  If you have an open mind, you'll come to understand of why he made the choices he made, and you will not just come to LOVE Frank, but you'll miss his presence today.  If not, you'll have to at least admire his unique and inimitable contributions to music.  Over-Nite Sensation (and Apostrophe (')) have long been cited as the place(s) to start, so listen and be prepared to be blown away.
+Buckingham gets his ya-yas out a couple times on lead guitar, but other than that, the ladies sound old, the bass player John just stands there (like he has for his entire career).  Christine still looks youthful; an unsung MaryAnne next to Stevie's more often photographed Ginger. Christine remains a comely British school marm ready to spank your wrists for looking up her skirt, so that's one redeeming feature. Yet that small pleasure is offset by Mick's still googly eyes and the 1980s vest.  Thanks for putting a camera right by Mick so that I can get scared out of my easy chair every time he stares those cue balls at the camera; nice touch for Halloween.

They add a new dimension to the old songs on the set list, especially Cracked Actor. Bowie's vocals are not exactly his best, but when you snort a mountain of coke each day, what can you expect? A great record of Bowie in mid-style transition. Although, at times this concert seems lost between glam-rock, soul, and something that's anyone's guess. Musically, some of the best versions of his classic songs. I read somewhere that there is also a version of Panic in Detroit, and Space Oddity (performed from a rising Director's Chair through a telephone 30 feet in the air) on some collector's editions of this recording.

+The ancient splendor of the pyramids and Yoko as the mysterious Sphincter is so apropos.
+ But my personal favorites are "I'm Goin' Down" and "Downbound Train". "I'm Goin' Down" is a hopelessly catchy and musically upbeat song that actually deals with a romance that has run its course...and has been found wanting. It's over, and there's nothing you can do to bring it back. "Downbound Train" is beyond any such pretense; it is absolutely one of the most gothic songs ever written, forboding and gloomy and almost out-of-place on the album...it is one man's personal tale of his downward spiral into oblivion, with no end or release in sight. Along with "Atlantic City" it is absolutely my favorite song Bruce has ever written.
+The score is low budget, synth-based, workmanlike, and very appropriate for the film.  The electronics fit the film perfectly even if it doesn't date well.  The main theme is the highlight, running over 4 minutes and is preferable to the opening theme from T2 (which is a shorter rehash).  It's got a slow build up, then starts pounding.  You'll also notice that the Terminator Arrival music is the same basic cue that plays whenever Arnold is on the screen (care theft, gun store, shooting the first Sarah, etc.)

+The only slight criticism is Barry's high notes and falsetto, which he strains to reach, especially on "Stayin' Alive." He's backed up with some invisible (and pre-recorded) mystery voices, but his ability to sustain the high notes has decreased with time. Personally, I don't care. This is an awesome live performance and for anyone who admires the brothers Gibb, this is something from which you'll derive hours of enjoyment.
+Goodnight My Love (under the closing credits)

+
+Absolutely!  Even though most of the tracks are similar in style, on some the combination of light and sound heightens the experience.  Also, the video-only tracks are well worth hearing.  But perhaps the most stunning difference is in "Sorrow".  While the CD version takes a more mournful, softer approach, the video version is a hard-rocking tune that draws the most passionate playing out of all three members.  If David Gilmour and Nick Mason are on fire, then Richard Wright is positively explosive on this song.  Letting loose with a screaming, uncharacteristically aggressive Hammond assault, one almost wonders if the keys will survive such a performance (especially given the fire in his eyes!).
+It also makes one scratch the head, because here even Elton can't rescue Bernie Taupin from his banality (or complete incoherence!). The new sleeve notes are quite revealing, as Mr. Taupin is quoted as admitting that he used a method of taking cut-up words, throwing them in a hat, and writing down what he pulled out next. He insists that the great poets and lyricists all did this--oh, right, Bernie. Well, if they did, they had twice the karma you had, I'm afraid. This album also marks the beginning of the sad intrusion (an utter travesty) of an overbearing production and orchestration team. They couldn't leave well enough alone, after finding a quite natural, organic blend on Tumbleweed, a blend of tasteful embellishments, instrument combinations, and a BAND SOUND. What the #*!? happened? What was wrong with the sound of real guitar/bass/drums? Were they competing with George Martin for a studio craft prize??

A whole lot of the energy comes from the audience which is great, but I don't quite believe that the response of a MTV audience to a 50's type singer was really all that great.  Either there were prompters hyping the kids up, or the volume was enhanced.  It does flaw the record.  And while it's great that Tony Bennett appreciates the various new waves of music that have appeared since his beginnings, I must go along with those who feel that k.d. lang and Elvis Costello were mismatches for Bennett.  Again, those two generate energy, but not, IMHO, completely the most appropriate energy for this CD.

+While there are several singers who are also very capable actors presented here, most artists are concentrating on their singing.  One also needs to consider that not only is it difficult to accompany what are essentially sung monologs with meaningful gestures, these performers normally performed on stage in large concert halls; thus their gestures and acting styles may seem exaggerated in the close-up medium of the camera.

Sabbath was scary, but a lot of that came from the fact that they were so darn heavy and demonic. But on "Diamond Dogs," David Bowie just made everything musically bone rattling, insane and unsettling. Visualizing Hunger City and the hordes of jeweled and fur clad "peoploids" on the prowl was akin to something out of a George Romero movie. I was too young to understand what a rock and roll musical would sound like, all I knew was "We Are The Dead" and "Chant Of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family" captured my attention like no other save for Alice Cooper.

We move on to "The Dead Man's Dream" which relates a somber dream before the man's demise. The one thing it does remind one of is Scrooge meeting the Ghost of Christmas Future in "A Christmas Carol". Brooker's slow, dissonant piano chords perfectly match the mood. Keith's lyrics on this (and many other songs) has the ability to convey so much by juxtaposing words and images in opposites (i'e, "The houses were open,and the streets empty", "I cried out in fear, but my voice had left me). You know what he means even if it is illogical.

+"Heart of the Country" is honest and melodic brilliance, "Monkberry Moon Delight" is a very aggressive and appealingly sloppy-sounding (and happy) pop song, and "Eat at Home" is another melodic treat.

A couple listens and you'll be hooked, which is  pretty much how all the early Wings albums are - Venus & Mars, Wild Life, Back to the Egg..  I got interested in 70s McCartney and the Wings after hearing Venus & Mars a few times.  Album after Wings album, I slowly but surely developed a great respect for this songwriter/musician, Paul McCartney.  The guy can write tunes!!!  World famous and yet still underrated somehow, I don't think the Wings stuff got the attention it deserved, or maybe it did, but even today people like me are discovering (and rediscovering) this awesome era and these great albums.

Her other two male dancers come out dressed as nerds, where Madonna slips right into "Material Girl". She sings all the way up to, "...A material. A material. A material girl". After that, she goes into "Like A Virgin". By this time, she takes off the pink top, hat, and glasses, leaving on the skirt. She comically looks up the skirts of her back-up vocalists: Donna DeLory, Niki Harris, & Debra Parson. After that, she takes off the skirt and sings a verse of the infamous, "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)". After the Motown interlude, she goes back into the third verse of "Like A Virgin" and finishes it out.

Sadly only three violin concertos remain, though it is known that he composed many more. Of all the recordings that I own of these concertos, I can honestly say that this is definitely the very best of them, meaning this recording tops a list of fabulous recordings by Stern, Zuckerman, Pearlman, and Grumiaux, just to name a few. Andrew Manze and Rachel Potter are inarguably the best baroque violinists that are currently active. This record is a lively, period performance, in which Manze and Podger breath new life into these concertos(not to say that they were dead or anything, because they're not). The sound quality is also excellent and the liner notes are amazing. This period performance is wonderful, offering a very warm and intimiate sound, and I must say it is significantly better than the competition. At a bargain price, you can't go wrong. If you're looking for your first set of Bach violin concertos or are just in need of expanding your collection, buy this record. You'll be glad you did.

+My very highlight from this collection is a classic from Sammy Cahn's creative songwriter's mind with its beautiful melody composed by Jule Styne "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry." Sammy Cahn was an eloquently brilliant lyricist who had a way with words and all his works are so remarkable. John Pizzarelli's heartfelt reading of this achingly beautiful song is one of the best interpretations ever recorded. It starts with a charming piano intro by Ray Kennedy then bridges and closes with the sparkling voice of John Pizzarelli's guitar, and of course in between, his soft and mellow vocals.

+Everyone who loves the album has their own memories and mine began with the anthemic sax intro of "Baker Street" as I drove through southern Idaho on my way to Colorado on a blistering hot day in 1978.

Sammy is in perfect form, backed by world-famous drummer Buddy Rich and his orchestra live in Las Vegas. This was Sammy's natural environment, and he put on what is perhaps the show of his life that night. World-class entertainers from all over the Vegas strip packed themselves into the Sands lounge in the middle of the night, after all of the main shows were over, and reveled in a jam session the likes of which may never be seen again. Sammy bores right into Come Back to Me at fever pitch and never slows down until the show is over.  This live version of Come Back to Me is the best I've ever heard.  I've lost count of how many versions of What Kind of Fool Am I? are available, as Sammy never seemed to sing this song the same way twice, but this live recording features one of the better ones.

+224	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This dvd could have been so much better if not for a couple of points. First of all, I was annoyed at the way Neil Geraldo kinda looked like a "greaser" from the movie, "Grease." The only thing he was missing was a package of cigarettes rolled up in his shirt sleeve. I was also kind of annoyed at the way he danced all around the stage with his guitar. I mean, it's good when Angus Young does it, but he's a little guy and it works for him. Not so, with Geraldo. Secondly, ONE GUITAR is not enough for a rock band (although one could argue that point if talking about the band Rush or ZZ TOP). Why did Scott Sheets NOT go on this tour with the band? Every time Geraldo went into playing lead, it left the song sounding rather naked and empty. I kept finding myself asking where is the rhythm? There was a keyboard player but his playing was not enough to keep the songs sounding "full." Another thing too is the set list could have been better. I mean, where is "Treat Me Right" and the immortal, "Promises In The Dark," or "Precious Time?" I could have done without those lame songs from Get Nervous (Anxiety; Shadows of the Night). Otherwise, this would be a five star concert. Pat is the undisputed queen of 80's rock, and it's a shame that this disc doesn't have more to offer. 1980's Benatar concert footage is rather rare. I did buy the DVD-Audio release of "Pat Benatar - Live From the Front Row" and the song selection is much better.

+The second thing that makes this record stand apart is the fact that it is a break-up record, and a great one.  From the optimistic second tune, the infectious "I've Been Waiting," through to the desolate "Nothing Lasts," you can hear Sweet laying bare the gamut of emotions involved in a relationship and its dissolution.  Like Paul Simon's Hearts and Bones or Richard and Linda Thompson's Shoot Out the Lights-or perhaps most aptly, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours-a good break-up record transcends time and trends and endures.
+In my opinion, "Ram" is Paul's best post-Beatles work other than his masterful and gutsy "Band on the Run."
+"Third Eye" is over thirteen minutes long, and I believe it's about drugs (particularly acid), and being high. It begins with a sample of Bill Hicks' comedy routine. Bill explains why he believes drugs HAVE done some good things for our society (because every band is "really high off drugs"). Then the song adopts some wind whooshes and other sound effects, and a drum beat eventually kicks in. The guitars and vocals finally start up, but the guitar noise sort of blends in with the sound effects, and the vocals are usually spoken or whispered. This song, the album closer, is very creepy, and it would be even more trippy to listen to if you were stoned. It becomes briefly heavy around 9:30, with pounding power chords, and again at 12:45.

With this album,released in mid-1988,they scored another hit,GIRLS AIN'T NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. We hear the music of the theme to TV's "I Dream Of Jeannie"(the color episodes) by Buddy Kaye and Hugo Montenegro. "I don't mean to bust your bubble,the girls of the world ain't nothing but trouble",the FP mentions three or four times in the song. The FP tells about taking his girlfriend to a Run DMC concert and she was far from ready. Also,another girl accuses him of raping her,thus being arrested for aggravated assault("But it wasn't my fault!"). He's also violently chased by another girl's boyfriend. The FP climbs out the window in his undies during a snowstorm("All I had was my underwear on to keep me warm."). He catches a cold. He even breaks into his own house because his house keys were in his pants that he left at Betty's house. The tune is awesome,I have to admit. Also on the album is GUYS AIN'T NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. The other songs are cool. Three years after this album,Smith became the star of the television sitcom "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" which became an immediate hit. Then came the beginning of his movie career. His film debut was the Warner Bros. comedy MADE IN AMERICA which starred Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson. DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince had no more major hits on the pop charts after GANBT. As Smith continued acting,his fame and popularity grew.

+8569	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is an unusual release, from the morphed David Bowie, who had changed personna again, this time into the Diamond Dog depicted on the cover.  This was supposed to be Bowie's concept album, a tribute to George Orwell's politcal commentary and prediction of future events. The opening track, spoken over the orchestrated version of "Bewitched" arranged by Tony Visconti, "Future Legend",  ends with Bowie yelling, "This isn't Rock and Roll, this is genocide".  The shredding slide introduction of "Diamond Dogs" shows Bowie at his guitar playing best.  The band tears through the title song, with top players including Herbie Flowers on bass.  Herbie, a frequent sideman, is famous for his playing on "Space Oddity", "Jump Into the Fire" by Nilsson, and "Walk On the Wild Side", to name just a few.  Drums are handled by another studio star pair, Aynsley Dunbar, and Tony Newman, while longtime favorite after the departure of Rick Wakeman, Mike Garson handles the keyboard duties.  Bowie takes lead guitar on all tracks, except for the scratchy wah wah played by Alan Parker on "1984".  Bowie's guitarwork is surprising, with crunchy, scratchy sound dominating the release, after the tasty melodic soaring tones that former sideman Mick Ronson used so effectively.  "Sweet Thing" features soaring vocals, great orchestration by Visconti again, with Bowie on a yacking sax on a tune that morphs into "Candidate", before reprising back into "Sweet Thing".  It is easy to see the political tone  Bowie takes by the end of the first side, with "Rebel Rebel" with it's  lyrical repetition, commenting on social decadence and decay.  Again, Bowie manages to carry the song with a simplistic, yet unforgettable guitar riff, whose searing tone cuts through.  "Rock and Roll With Me", co authored by Bowie and Warren Peace (collaborator G A MacCormack) begins the second side of the original release, which is more consistent with the Orwell's 1984. "We Are the Dead" a direct quote from the book follows, which rolls into "1984", a classic Bowie track, with it's guitar intro. powerful vocals and abrupt ending.  "Big Brother" is another obvious Orwell reference, whose end is looped to conclude the disk.  In all this is excellent release, whose highs are unbelievable.  Some of the tracks are good, not great, but the ones that are on are unforgettable, making this a must own.
+The album is back from the "good ole days" -- you know -- when bands wrote music, many lyrics had some artistry, sang (with real singing), and could sing on key. We don't get much of that anymore.

+It must be said, watching it  makes me feel like I'm watching PBS, what with the orchestra and all.  But  even the most heavy of hard rock fans will realize that it is Deep Purple's  night to shine.

Even though Two Against Nature is immediately recognizable as the Dan, with it's  funked-up beats, arch lyrics, and cast of bizarre characters, it is still  an evolution of the sound that they've mastered. Dare I think it...there's  even a sense of wistfulness throughout this music, as Becker and Fagen move  into middle-age. Where they once pursued the co-ed in the first person (Hey  Nineteen), they're now using the third person to deal with the attractions  of the flesh (Cousin Dupree).

I think this came out on Arista in l987, and how they let it disappear is beyond me. "Joan of Arc" is the one I got entranced by the most, but almost every selection is well-done and holds up well upon repeated listening. If you like Cohen even a little bit, or Warnes even a little bit, you'll find the combination improves your appreciation of both. This is one of those projects that came off just about perfectly, and even if the sales were low, it doesn't mar the triumph of it for lovers of intelligent songwriting and mystical singing. Or vice-versa!

Fortunate enough to have been there, I cannot tell anyone how fantastic the sound, light, the crowd and the showmanship was in tha tiny theatre.  However, this is just sound and if you want to hear Bowie as he truly was in concert - it's here.  For a better live Bowie recording, check out "Stage", which was much better produced.

The show is so-so, although "Time" and "The Width Of A Circle" are significant standouts (especially the latter, which is a full 16 minutes long!!!). Mick Ronson is covered in sweat, and at times his solo seems doctored, but otherwise he's magnificent (and the only musician who even gets close to having any amount of screen time). Long shots of a girl freaking out in the audience. Skinny Bowie shown during a costume change. His live version of "Space Oddity" seems to have spooky Pink Floyd-like elements.

One thing that made Eden really stand out for me was how you really get to see Sarah just being Sarah. Instead of constantly flying around for extreme panoramic views of the AUDIENCE, of all things, the camera is always right there with her, usually right in front of her face. In this way, all of her facial expressions are captured perfectly, and you never feel like you've "missed something", a pet peeve of mine from Harem. A major pratfall was skillfully avoided thanks in no small part to David Mallet for his great direction and excellent choice of camera-operator.

+"Too Many People," Paul's response to John's "How Do You Sleep?" tyrade, points out several things: the line "too many hungry people losing weight" could be percieved as Paul's jab against John's recent stints on macrobiotic diets with Yoko, and "too many people making promises" gets back at not just John, but former bandmates George Harrison and Ringo Starr as well. There's ceratainly a fair amount of fluff and filler: "Smile Away" and "Eat at Home" being the best examples, but there are some perfect, if technically strange, pop songs. Linda's twangy vocal on "Long Haired Lady" adds an off-color touch to the song, and "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey"'s strange form gives it more than enough character. The underratted gem of the album, though, is the rollicking "Monkberry Moon Delight," which shows that not only can Paul rock with the best of 'em, but he can write nonsense lyrics just as well as John Lennon can.

Nonetheless, the Animals' version works very well. Other covers of Hooker are pretty tame (e.g., Listen to the Yardbirds' "Boom Boom"). Guitars and drums set the tone at the start of this song. While Burdon approaches this song differently from Hooker, his cover is effective nonetheless. Burdon's growling voice fits the song well.

I liked Fleetwood Mac, at least most of their stuff, but when they broke up it was just another sad link in a long chain of bands that have disappeared from view.  And maybe I didn't watch it because this breakup seemed to be a rather nasty one (Buckingham & Nicks, and the McVies).

+322	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Slash returns for his new solo album with Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge on vocals and it is a great rock album that is sure to please fans waiting for a worthy sequel to Appetite For Destruction. The production on this album is cool with the guitars right up front and Myles Kennedy's vocals wailing on top. Slash is in fine form with some great riffs and some equally killer solos. Slash lets his influences such as Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith permeate his song and riff ideas but he puts his own modern spin on it all. Highlights include the rocking album opener "Apocalyptic Love", the awesome groove of "Standing In The Sun", the massive chorus hook of "No More Heroes", and the classical vibe of the guitar hook in "Anastasia". The deluxe edition has the two bonus tracks "Carolina" and "Crazy Life" that are definitely worth having and there is also an interesting behind the scenes look at the making of the album. Despite containing a couple of filler tracks, Apocalyptic Love is highly recommended to fans of Slash and will rank as one of the best pure rock albums of the year.

+3638	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I was very skeptical about what to expect. Therefore I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this. What I loved about concerts in the 60's was what Justin said that it was all about the music and not being stars or money ( to a point) and to me that fun aspect shines thru. I particularly enjoyed the interviews before the actual concert especially Mike's explanation of the Mellotron. Kind of fun to see amps labeled for the Who and Tull when camera shooting from behind the band. Ray thomas, who I always assumed was very calm onstage,  was a wild man and in fact it was funny to see Justin so in control and serious at all times. It was more of a rock concert with Grahme extremely powerful on the drums. The sound was quite good and performances better than I was led to beleive. They were a true band in the sense that they all fed off of each other . All in all a real find and a must for any Moody's fan.
+  In terms of creating a totally new musical direction on this album,there are many who credit much of it entirely to Brian Eno and not to David Bowie. Honestly? I wasn't there so not sure. But I do know that Eno makes it clear he is a rather passive/aggressive musician-who involves himself so intricately into the sound of the the artists he produce that no one is 100% sure who did what and when. Whatever the case,if David Bowie was seeking to innovate that new musical direction for himself,this album did that and then some. At the time it was greeted with the critical and commercial reception of a bowl of rotten tomatoes. But this was a truly album oriented album. Bowie and Eno's mutual sense of song-craft and instrumental imagination are on full display throughout this album. The most amazing part of this album is the production and sound quality. On that level this album sounds like something recorded yesterday,on contemporary digital equipment as opposed to analog. And it has nothing to do with the remastering: I've heard the other Bowie releases from this particular series and none have that sweeping,bright sound of this. The songs,both vocal and instrumental are wonderful of course-looking forward towards both new wave music the some of the world-pop/trance sounds of two decades later. But this album is also a masterpiece of sound sonic's. It effects ones sensory perceptions of it as one grows in their ear for music. It sure did for me. And I have a feeling it will for the rest of you out there as well.

+Taylor has penned only one of these ten songs herself, but she is an excellent interpreter of songs, and her swaggering rendition of Ann Peebles' "Come To Mama" is one of the best songs on the disc. She subtly reinterprets "Money (That's What I Want)" as the driving "I Don't Care No More", complete with characteristic edgy lead guitar lines by Son Seals, and gets funky on the syncopated "I Can Love You Like A Woman", and let's not forget the production, which is uniformly excellent. Clear and uncluttered, but without being slick.

+5921	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This masterpiece of an album kicks off with the catchy, uptempo title track which is a celebration of romantic love, but the very next song I Eat Dinner is a beautiful description of loneliness and resignation in the absence of romance. The lilting Rainbow Ride is another gem, a melodic song of hope and longing. Throughout the album the voices are pure and gripping, and the harmonising divine, as on the tender Love Is and the poignant I'm Losing You that deals with the feelings of parents seeing a child growing up, in the most poetic lyrics and imagery. Another favorite of mine is Leave Me Be, a very sad song also about the loss of a child. There's an overall feel of sadness to these songs, with the exception of the title track, but it's the most beautiful sorrow you'll ever hear.
+Take out the love beads, comb your hair down, and light this one up! This CD is a must have!!!!!
+-Slither:  Grammy-winning first single from the album.  To me this one sounds like STP, could have been taken from STP's "No. 4" CD.  You can definitely hear the Duff/Slash/Matt Sorum influence, but STP's DeLeo brothers could have done this one almost as well.

+8822	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album has a bit of a bad rap among Bowie's Eno collaborations. I don't really understand why. This album is less new-wavey and less robotic than the other two, and much more eclectic, but I don't see those as bad things. This is perhaps the most experimental of the three albums as well on a purely song-to-song basis, going from a bizarre proto-rap freakout ("African Night Flight") to Turkish reggae ("Yassassin") to a krautrock-influenced mess of a rocker ("Red Sails".) These are some of my favorite songs on the album, however. As a whole, it's quite a wild ride, with ideas everywhere, some more fully realized than others, and some just strange (Eno's "cricket menace" on "African Night Flight"... that song in general, in fact.)
+5172	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Between Two Worlds is another great CD from Patrick O' Hearn. I noticed when I listened to the album that he uses many of the same sounds that he did in Ancient Dreams. I purchased the album off of amazon a while before knowing only the the song "between two worlds" and I loved listening to it. The very first time I heard Patrick O' Hearns music was on Indigo and I knew right then that I had to get more albums by him. I thought this was one of his best but probably Indigo is my favorite. Between Two Worlds would be an okay album to start off with but in my opinion Indigo or Ancient Dreams would be better."Rain Maker" is an excellent one he plays one tune and than adds other dark sounds around it."Gentle was the Night" is a soft and soothing song with great keyboard sounds. In "Fire Ritual" he uses a variety of voices along with more sounds."87 dreams of a lifetime" starts out soft and than comes in with drums. Then that takes us to the title track witch mostly has the same tune with some other little small instruments around it.
+9) Eat at Home - The second-weakest track here, but even this one is not a throwaway.
+There are people that think Elton is just a crazy guy known more for his Lion King/Diana stuff and public persona, but he and the great Bernie Taupin made some of the best music of their respective times before all the period of excess and populist directions. Madman is particularly introspective and consistent in quality and writing. There really isn't a weak track on the album, though I am not sure I love all of it. The remastering is pretty good and separation is great. You can really hear what was on the tapes in the SACD versions with either audio side.
+So, in opera view for this CD, I won't comment on this because this CD itself is not an opera or operatic singing. In pop music this is more than 10 stars but amazon only hv 5 stars available, so I would give it as 5 stars!!

This goes to show this is a great, great release that does about as well as can be expected in showcasing Elvis' vast talent and conviction when singing the music he loved the most: Gospel.
+What subtracts from the record? First, the guitars are turned down for the most part. Not volume wise, tone wise. Guns N' Roses had somewhat high pitched guitar and high energy. Stone Temple Pilots had guitar work much like this and about as up beat of a message. Simply put, this is not Weiland learning what rock is about. This is Slash forgetting.
+Right after NELLA FANTASIA she does NESSUN DORMA, arguably the most difficult song in the world. If there is another woman who does this traditional tenor song, I do not know who she is.

+922	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I have put off writing this review for several weeks even though I bought Contraband the first day it came out. I bought it expecting to hear "Paradise City" and "Interstate Love Song" clones and that was fine with me because there have been NO great or even good albums put out by bands that formed after Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Stone Temple Pilots changed the face of rock. Even though I love the three previously mentioned bands, they destroyed most of the good bands that existed before them. That left a vaccuum that was filled by talentless acts like Creed and Nickleback. (Bands like Aerosmith and the Red Hot Chili Peppers put out good if not great albums, but were popular before the Revolution.) Anyway I put the CD in my Walkman and listened from start to finish. At first I was almost completely disappointed (I had heard "Slither" before on the radio and it sounded great), the album had a completely different sound than what I expected. Yet over the next week I listened to it five-ten more times I released that I was disappointed not because it was bad, but it had never occured to me that two different elements mixed together could produce a new element. Slash's playing was obvious, yet while in Guns N Roses most of their famous songs were made great by Slash's amazing solos, in Velvet Revolver Slash was just a piece of the puzzle. I found that the most memorable parts of the songs were Weiland's vocals. He sounds different than he did in STP and any critics comparing him to Eddie of Pearl Jam are just bitter. While he does not have the range of Axl, his smooth vocals are a nice change. One thing that is missed is Axl's songwriting, for while he was and is an egotistical maniac who singlehandedly killed THE greatest band in the world at the time, no one can deny that he was an amazing songwriter. While it is unfortunate that Izzy Stradlin is not in the group, Dave Kushner is a decent and effective replacement.

Their aim was to mix the rawness of McCartney with the epic scale of Abbey Road. The resulting album, Ram, divided opinion; either it was a stunning amalgamation of both albums or `Macca' had lost his touch. I happen to think it's the former. Sure there are some thruways tracks present, but Ram is never boring and there are plenty of classics on offerer like Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, Too Many People, Home In The Country, and The Back Seat Of My Car. Thankfully, Ram has gotten a reappraisal during the last decade or so and deserves a high spot in the McCartney/Wings catalogue. This remaster also includes as extra tracks, the first ever Paul McCartney solo single Another Day/ Oh Woman, Oh Why.

This performance, titled "Feet Of Flames"  is billed as Michael Flatley's last performance in the role of the "Lord Of The Dance" and I think he does an excellent job here! It is a fitting send-off, very grand and epic in scope and scale. I did get to see the original Lord Of The Dance show live on stage in Philadelphia in 1997 and was totally blown away by the experience. The dancing, the beautiful music and the celestial and haunting singing of Anne Buckley remain in my heart to this very day. There is just something about hearing that music live and feeling the vibrations course through your body with every step the dancers make. It gives new meaning to the saying that you just HAVE to be there. There is NOTHING like the energy of a live stage dancing performance. Particularly not one like this one, with sure fire and energy and passion.

If you are looking for an amazing and unique sound then you have come to the right place. I don't own a huge amount of Zappa but after listening to this album it has quickly risen in my estimation as one of his best. It clearly shows off Zappa's often talked about unique and gifted musical style but unlike many albums like "Sheik Yerbhouti" he doesn't let trying to be clever get in the way of the music.

+7708	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is simply some of the most amazing acappella singing I have ever had the pleasure of finding.  Prior to buying this CD, two of my very favorite Christmas CDs were, (and still are), both volumes of "An Evening in December", by contemporary Christian vocal group, First Call.  If you've ever heard those albums, you're very aware of how lush,full-sounding, and "goose-bump-producing" good acappella is supposed to be.  Well, "Nog" fully delivers all that and more on this phenomenal recording, (and that's really saying something when comparing to the First Call albums); this is the kind of arranging that is so good, you completely forget that there are no instruments backing up the voices.  The vocal parts weave in and out of difficult chord progressions and odd resolutions in arrangements that are constantly surprising and fresh.  All 10 tracks need to be listened to very carefully, as there is a LOT going on in each one.  I would be hard-pressed to select any tracks as the "best" ones of this collection, but "Little Drummer Boy" is particularly powerful, and the pseudo-doo-wop treatment on "Rudolph" is great fun, while "Silent Night" is absolutely gorgeous.  The singular downfall of the CD, (and it's a very small one), is the somewhat silly spoken intro on "Let It Snow".  It's fun the first time through, but starts to get old on repeated listenings.  In short, this is an absolute must-have for acappella and vocal group enthusiasts, and for Christmas music lovers in general.  It's a shame that it's not on a major label.  It deserves to be heard in the mainstream.

HOWEVER: I was at first startled by and later put off by all the short songs packed in between the ones of substance. Every single one is deadwood and could have been chopped to reveal the true core of Aenima: the insightful and powerful music that is classic Tool. Many bands have done this (or the "Hidden Track" thing), with varying degrees of success. Most are pointless, and muddle what may be an excellent album.

"Born Under a Bad Sign" also reflects the blues-but in a more controlled and upbeat fashion. Definitely superb! The second part-needless to say, extends blues in live fashion and never lets up. The jams, the leads, are to die for (I hate to be banal but even Metamorpho has laspes sometime).

Gary Novak on drums is worth the price of admission, right off the bat, and the #4 tune, "CTA" is just so intense rhythmically -- I won't even try to describe it. But it proves to the uninitiated that he is a force to be reckoned with. Of course, this is a Chick Corea album, and personally, there is no musician I respect more. I mean, the man has no limitations whatsoever. Starting with track 3, the whole album is amazing, but the other really standout track is #10, "Ished". Again, dazzling, complex rhythms by Mr. Novak. Also #9, "Ritual" is superb - the solos by Chick and guitarist Mike Miller are brilliant. If you like the original Elektric band, you have to get your ears around this album!

+In this regard Yellow Shark is and will be a historically significant recording.  Frank's hand is all over this album.  One gets the sensation that it was organized and executed in a way that he approved of, and getting Franks approval on anything was no easy task.  The recording is clear and pristine and the performances are passionate and flawless.  G-Spot Tornado as realized by Rundell and the Ensemble Modern here is the most electrifying chamber performance I own on CD.  The audience sits in an audibly stunned silence for several long seconds before literally erupting into applause.  Ah, to have been there.

+ Personally, I'm not even that big a fan of heavy metal rock and roll, but it is flat our impossible to not love AC/DC. The concert footage is excellent as well, with lots of fast cuts that keep you involved in all the action without feeling disruptive.

+I'm lost for words when reviewing Frank's albums.  I am not worthy.  But one thing I DO want to say is:  you can never predict Zappa and yet you can predict him.  Does that make sense?  Maybe not.  Okay how about this?  Expect the unexpected.  No.. that still doesn't cut it either.  What I mean to say is when you hear an album like The Grand Wazoo or Jazz From Hell or Orchestral Favorites, they take you by surprise and yet you're not too surprised because Frank is capable of just composing extraordinarily fantastic music and his musical ideas were light years ahead of anyone.
+This may not be the best album that Alison ever recorded - though some think it is and I can understand why - but it is certainly among the best.

+666	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Born In The U.S.A. is the album where Bruce Springsteen made the leap from a popular rock 'n' roller to megastar and cultural icon.  The songs were all over the radio in '84 & '85 and his concerts were four hour  marathons.  It produced 7 top ten singles (tied for the most in history  with Michael Jackson's Thriller & Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation) and  was in Billboard's top ten for 84 straight weeks.  People could relate to  him as he seemed to be just a regular hard-working, blue collar guy.  The  songs had the appearance of being about fulfilling the American Dream and  overflowing with American pride. They have an upbeat, radio-friendly sound  that helped it sell 15 million copies and become one of the most popular  and misunderstood in rock history.  Beneath the bouncy music and optimistic  titles they are actually tales of desperation, unfilled dreams and an  America that had let its characters down.  The title track typifies this as  it seems to be a ringing declaration of the pride to be from America, but  is about a Vietnam vet whose country has kept him down from birth and never  let him get up.  He questions why he fought and had a brother killed in a  war that he didn't understand and came back to country that welcome back as  a hero, but look down upon him. Despite risking his life for it, America  gave him nothing in return.  "Dancing In The Dark" is the most  pop-oriented song Bruce has ever recorded.  Behind the dancable synthes  lies a the story a man who is down and out.  He is desperately looking for  someone to pull him out of rut and appears to be suicidal.  "Glory  Days" is about life sliding away from you and failing to meet the  goals and high expectations of your youth. Not everything on the album is a  downer, Bruce tempers the desperation with hope.  "My Hometown"  tells of a man who sees a brighter future for his young son and "Bobby  Jean" is a farewell and good luck message to his band mate Little  Steven who was leaving the E Street Band and heading out on his own.  The  song that sits right in the middle of the album and pulls everything  together is "No Surrender".  The song says that no matter how  little that you start out with, how little life gives you, how much you get  kicked around, music can help save your soul and you must never stop trying  to reach your hopes and dreams.  In the end, even though he thinks the  country has written a lot of bad checks to its people, it is the promise  that it gives and possibility of fulfilling dreams, that still makes it the  best place to be.  Bruce Springsteen has always said that music helped save  him and before finding it he was just floating through life with no  purpose.  Whether you love him or hate him, his music has given many people  hope and a purpose to their own lives.  He, himself is an embodiment of  the American Dream and if Bruce can achieve it, maybe we all can.

A group of older musicians come together after a long  period of time, try to sound different from their early works of art, but  do not entirely succeed.

+I've never thought that this performance ranked among The Who's best from this period, mainly because I think drummer Keith Moon's performance was uneven and sloppy in places.  Moon, and I think some might disagree with me on this, was not normally a sloppy drummer.  Listen to the Live at Leeds CD or watch the London Coliseum section of the Live at Kilburn DVD.  His playing is unusually precise for someone who went through the type of physical contortions he went through.  It's also very, very lyrical, and he is incredibly in tune with what's being played around him.  He somehow manages to complement vocals, guitar, and bass and "tie" or "knit" them together in a way that no other drummer, at least not for that particular band at that particular time, could have.  There's really not enough space here to describe just how amazing his musicianship was.  The stories of his off-stage activities are entertaining, yes, but it was his playing that was even more astounding than any of the lunacy of which he was capable, and he was, in spades.

The movie is shot in black and white for the most part until the end when a couple of concert sequences appear in color.  The sharp contrast is startling and gives the film an added power.  One of the more poignant scenes is the band's visit to Graceland and Sun Studios as the visit the cradle of rock 'n' roll.  For four guys from Dublin, Ireland this visit is like a visit to the Holy Land and it is treated with justifiable reverence.  While the interviews and look at the behind the scenes are nice, the meat of any rock film are the live performances and U2 does not disappoint.  Their performance of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" with a Harlem choir in a church is uplifting.  The do a gut wrenching take on "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and haunting version of "With Or Without You".  They practically explode off the screen with the rampaging "Bullet The Blue Sky".  Rattle & Hum is a must for any U2 fan and now that fourteen years have past and the band has changed its image and look a couple of times, it is interesting to look at them in a simpler time.

+1986	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This home video arrived in 1994, which was the 40th Anniversary of George's professional recording career {having been signed to a label non-stop since 1954}. The video opens up with George greeting us and telling us about the home video. however, the first 'song' is a small clip of "The Grand Tour" during his famed Live in Tennessee home video from 1993 and therefore not a performance from 1974 or 1975, the era when the single was a hit. Also, "White Lightnin" is shown from an early '60s TV show and not from 1959 when the song was released. "The Race is On" and "Walk Through This World With Me" from 1964 and 1967 come from a country show in the late '60s. The year jumps from 1967 to 1974 and we see George on Pop Goes The Country singing "The Door". George tells us that it was a single that the public wanted to hear when they were by theirself because it was "too personal" for many who had family and friends in Vietnam. His Tammy-era is showcased with two performances in 1977 of "Golden Ring" and "Near You". Then we see the early '80s George. This George dressed LESS formal than he once did. The performance of "Bartender's Blues" on this home video is from the early '80s because on another video i have, on that same show, he performs "He Stopped Loving Her Today". Speaking of that #1 song, it also follows "Bartender's Blues" on this home video too. This performance, however, comes from an awards show...George is decked out in a grey/white suit and flashy rings on his finers and he's performing without his guitar!! he does Conway Twitty-style moves as he bends his head forward in certain parts of the song. We next see him in a more toned down look, in a blue suit, singing "If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me"...in which he slips in during the last line of the song: "and If Drinking don't kill me, Tammy's memory will..." and he starts to laugh as the camera pulls away. This home video is the only place to find a full-length performance of that song with that often quoted ad-libbed lyric (it hit #8 in early 1981). The next two performances are from PBS-TV's "Austin City Limits" in 1987. He performs his 1983 #1 "I Always Get Lucky With You" and 1985's #3 "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes?". The video closes with his 1993 performance of "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair" (a #34 hit in early 1993). Remember, all through this home video after every song, it cuts away to George {circa 1994} talking about the songs and their impact on his career and his fans. a wonderful home video companion to 1989's "Same Ole Me" home video and 1987's "Living Legend in Concert".

+Sure, it's shot on video, so don't expect the glorious black-and-white photography of U2's Rattle and Hum or the lush richness of Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz.  Sure, the camera is often wobbly.  But what director Adam Dubin does so well in this piece is capture the intricate details of recording an album, in Part 1.  The setting was ripe for such exploration:  This was shot during the crucial period when Metallica, then known as one of the most uncompromising bands in music, was first paired up with ace producer Bob Rock, known both for his crystalline productions and his rock-hard stubbornness.  The ensuing conflict among band members and producer makes for endlessly fascinating viewing.  Part 1 exhaustively explores every aspect of recording Metallica's eponymous 'Black Album' (obviously, you'll get much more out of this documentary if you know the album well).  Highlights include Kirk Hammett's frustrating search for a solo to "The Unforgiven"; the battle between a sore-throated James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich; and a vocal session where you become intensely aware of just how much editing is required to put together one perfect lead vocal take.  If you love music but have never immersed in this process, it's extremely illuminating -- it points out to you how the music comes into being.  Plus you get three videos -- the casual studio-performance piece "Nothing Else Matters"; "The Unforgiven", a beautifully photographed expressionistic piece under director Matt Mahurin's lyrical, languid treatment; and the classic "Enter Sandman", a manic romp which stands as director Wayne Isham's crowning achievement.

Mack who claims his influences to be  George Jones and Bobby Blue Bland, Has a pleasant voice that does strain or torture itself or listeners.
+Music of this type has an incredible amount of power and appeals as much to emotion as it does to the ear. Listen again to an artist that made it big based on the power of his music and not the over-polished commercial pop that is hyped on many FM stations today. Truly a solid album for any collection.

+It does contain some funny lyrics, and  it's better than 95% of the new music out there now. Steely Dan, as always,  can certainly sing in tune, sing harmonies, play their instruments, write  cunning lyrics. Steely Dan pretty much invented a form which approaches  jazz rock fusion from the rock side and in that is much more successful  than the woeful 70's attempts from the jazz side. But it's not a classic  and not up to their better efforts. Steely Dan was never into spontaneity,  but perhaps they spent too long polishing it in the studio.

+But you cannot forget the two amazing bonus Ryko tracks: I Pray Ole, a solid album outtake that would've fit perfectly well into the mix, and the 88' version of Look Back In Anger which is about the best recording he'd done before Tin Machine; actually I feel that this recording may've been a boost of morale for Bowie, as it took his work back into a harder edge.  Even though two bonus tracks are nice I would've liked to have gotten more, like the '79 session outtake of Panic In Detroit and whatever gems may lie in Bowie's vault, but I'm still very grateful.

Whoever thought to shoot this Roy Orbison concert in stark, slightly slo-mo black and white had the right idea--well, almost a stroke of genius really.  Visually, this performance film is head and shoulders over most concert footage.  The eerie, dreamlike effect suits the material--and not just Roy's "dream trilogy" classics ("In Dreams," "(All I Can Do Is)Dream You," and "Leah" either.  Even the rockier like "Mean Woman Blues," "Move on Down the Line"  and "Ooby Dooby" benefit from the atmospheric treatment as well.
+Danny Carey's drums add the beat and pulse, setting the pace  for this dark journey. Adam's guitar and Justin's bass buzz and throb,  producing one of the most distinct sounds in music today.

It fits,  perfectly, with everything, culminating into Tool.

+OK, so why "the best SD album  EVER"?  First, because the musical arrangements have grown up with the  guys.  In the past, it seemed to me that from time to time, some really  beautiful SD music was sometimes given short shrift in the orchestrations  in favor of a decision to pander to pop dictates or to go for the  "jokey": almost as if we were being instructed not to take this  music TOO seriously.  None of that here; the sound is fuller, richer, with  every horn/string/etc. necessary.  Truly beautiful music.

+At any rate, 1976's At the Speed of Sound may be the only Wings album that was really a "Wings" album. Of course Mr. McCartney remains in the spotlight, but each and every Wingster handles lead vocal on at least one song (even Linda, whose Cook of the House is a riot!). More than that, both longtime sidekick Denny Laine and guitarist Jimmy McCulloch get a shot at a song of their own - and both make good. This newfound democracy was probably just Paul's way of uniting his band for a gargantuan world tour; but the funky pop of Denny's Time to Hide and Joe English's vocal on Macca's own Must Do Something About It remain highlights of the record.
+To this day I've never understood why people have criticized Yoko so harshly. Is it because they believe she 'broke-up' the Beatles? Or is it criticism fueled by rascism? Ono, like every artist (the Beatles and John Lennon included - of which have influenced me tremendously in my music and understanding of it) has had her 'ups and downs' in her music. She is avant-garde and harsh criticism comes with this genre unless you make it a hybrid of avant-garde and pop commericialism (quite a contradiction, but its been done). She doesn't pander to an impatient and 'radio-friendly' audience, neither did Lennon for that matter. Her work takes time to understand completely, but it CAN be understood - which is what makes her music so interesting and worthwhile to me.

Since then, I've bought every PG release, but I still come back to this video. Every song on this video sounds better than the studio version, no exceptions. The most noticable is Steam. The live version just might be my favorite PG song. It's so intense and the intro is beautiful. The vocals are powerful and soaring and Tony Levin (my all-time bass hero) is just tearing it up with the funk fingers. Upon buying US, I was so disappointed with the studio version of that song. It was so... blah. Other highlights, the incredibly cool San Jacinto (which is absent from the CD release of Secret World), Solsbury Hill (I personally prefer the exciting live version here with the violin and chapman stick to the studio version, which I also love), and Don't Give Up (Paula Cole's vocals are MUCH more powerful than Kate Bush's if you ask me. This song sends shivers down my spine and brings a tear to my eye.) Also, it's important to note Across the River, which was never released on any PG official release before and is strikingly beautiful. Manu Katche's drum work is electrifying. Also Shaking the Trees with the jammed out ending. If you are even remotely a PG fan, buy this video just to see how improved the songs are over the studio versions (especially the US songs). Just a testiment to PG's incredible composing and performing ability. Trust me, you'll like it.

+I didn't like Stinkfist at first, but it became one of my favorites later on. This album took a second to grow on me, but once it did, it never left my cd player, or at least it didn't go far.

+After Guns 'N Roses recorded and released the commercial and critical bomb "The Spaghetti Incident", Axl Rose and his band mates had different ideas about where the band should be heading, so the original instrumentalists disbanded with Axl Rose while Rose hired new instrumentalists. Meanwhile, Slash, Duff, Matt Sorum, and Dave Kushner set out to find a new singer, and their search even chronicled on VH1's "The Project". As if the stars had aligned, the Stone Temple Pilots had recently recorded the rather dull "Shangri-La-Dee-Da", which Scott Weiland was not very fond of, since it sounded more like a Barry Manilow album than the Grunge he originally was trying to do. So, after releasing the Greatest Hits compilation "Thank You", the Stone Temple Pilots officially disbanded. With Scott on the unemployed list, Slash and Weiland met in a club where they became fast friends. Then, after getting the band together, they immediately began jamming on a song that would eventually become "Slither". Around the radio's constant playing of "Slither" and all the buzz around this CD, will it hold up? Well, when you combine Guns 'N Roses style with the grungy sounds of Stone Temple Pilots, you get a combination that works throughout the album like a charm.

I can't really remember how I did come to get hold of this record, but it may have had something to do with a Stevie Ray Vaughan fixation I was going through at the time.

+What Zappa did here was to put together a non-linar rock opera about what it was like to be a rock band on the road in the very early 70s.

+No less a personage than Elvis Presley called Roy "the greatest singer in the world."  Barry Gibb called Roy Orbison "the voice of God."  In 1964 Orbison's single "Oh, Pretty Woman" soared to #1 on Billboard charts, displacing the Beatles.  This record became the biggest selling single up to that point.
+The music is about as good as any show from that period.  You won't get golfballs from a walnut tree, and you won't get truly classic Dead from 1989.  With some exceptions, the jams had gotten shorter, and the shows more formulaic. Everyone has his own preferred setlist, and mine happens not to include Let the Good Times Roll (ZZZZ) or Johnny B. Goode (many others do it better), but Garcia was fully capable of playing inspired music at that point and he does so here, in China Cat (goosebumps), for example, or The Wheel (lovely and ethereal).  I loved seeing him beam beatifically at Brent, who gazes at him with the face of an adoring puppy, and launch into the kind of intricate, melodic run that only Garcia could do, with the most relaxed expression on his face.  It's true that he looks twenty years older than he was -- that's what fifteen years of the Persian, Haagen-Dazs, and channeling the energy we all wanted from him will do, I suppose -- and it's sad, but he lived the life he wanted, and we were the beneficiaries.

I think the new generation will enjoy this CD a lot, as it offers them a lot of contemporary artists collabing with the Latin rock outfit (such as Wyclef, Eagle-eye Cherry etc.). But let's not get sidetracked, it is Santana's record, not theirs. Everyone will know SMOOTH, as it was a huge hit both sides of the pond, and if you liked it, then buy the album. It is one of the more up-tempo tracks on the LP, which offers slower tunes & more classic rock-y numbers (such as PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON).

+The DVD, Elton John Live In Barcelona, was a shot at his first ever live concert, ever to video. The process was highly made to reflect his record, The One. Originally named Elton John, Live World Tour 1992, the concert remains the same as it was originally collected. The remastering process was beautiful, and not a flaw within the works. Still, if you have the VHS version of this concert, you're not missing anything here. The performance highlights the exact same number of songs that were on the VHS version, like The Last Song, Burn Down The Mission, Sacrifice, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, and others. The sound quality is much better than it was on the VHS version, which isn't sold anymore. Still, Elton John does give his all, like he always seems to, and that is exactly what he is made to do.

+But  Bowie is not above injecting his works with randomness, and "Diamond Dogs"  is not immune.  Most noticeable, "Diamond Dogs" contains all sorts of  random lyrics.  I've read that Bowie was reading a lot of William S.  Burroughs when he was making the album.  The beat writer's works featured  nonsequiturs to convey a sense of insanity and desperation.  Bowie liked  the effect and features it in his "future songs."  This works as intended,  but also to make listening the rest of the songs a more active experience.  Not everything is a nonsequitur - figuring out what Bowie is singing and  why is part of the fun.

First of all, this woman is one of the very, very few artists out there who feels very committed to her vision, and seems to NEVER feel intimidated by pop's oversexed image with all the pop muppets out there today. She's also one of the very few artists who are actually DARING. Not daring in terms of trying to act lesbian, dress half naked, or act like a stripper on stage to get ratings and controversy like majority of pop stars do these days. But daring in terms of always challenging her listeners, and in being controversial in a way where it's artistic and very bold. I have purchased this DVD yesterday, and i absolutely LOVE it! These are the videos i thought were very exquisite and are truly images of what real artistic music videos are made of.

+That aside, this is a wonderful concert which features many great songs and is a visual delight. Sarah looks gorgeous throughout, as you might expect.
+"Beware My Love" is an effort by Paul in order to make a strong rock record. He only has half of the success he wishes, though, because the track gets too repetitive with time. His vocals, however, are raspy and amazing, like in his best Beatle times. "San Ferry Anne" features quite enigmatic lyrics, about some person with lots of weird habits that weren't aproved by Paul. We probably will never know what was he talking about, but the lyrics are amongst the strongest on the album. ("Let your feelings drift away into the laughter/San Ferry Anne/And the world keeps turning happy ever after"). Great song. And the closer, "Warm And Beautiful" is one of Paul's most gorgeous love ballads, with only him at the piano and the background of a string quartet. It makes everybody want to be in love. To me, it's the best track of the album, and worth the CD itself.

This particular song is one of the highlights of the album. Another highlight is the uncle meat variations, a really top tune. As well as the great keyboard playing we have high-pitched female vocals /gravelly male vocals, singing 'fuzzy dice and bongos'. Bonkers lyrics. Then the tune sort of 'disintegrates' into some awesome zappa twangy guitar playing. There are lots of fun songs like mr green genes, electric aunt jemima, cruising for burgers,sleeping in a jar, the air. Some live moments like prelude to  king kong(cd1) and ian underwood whips it out. also a funny louie louie featuring the majestic royal albert pipe organ. Some downright bonkers music like zolar czakl(delightful) and projectx(weirdest track on the album) and a bit of dialogue featuring jimmy carl black, bitching on about money as is his wont. And brilliant guitar solo, 9 types of industrial pollution. CD2 has about 40 minutes of dialogue from the uncle meat film. It's got one or two amusing lines like 'using the chicken to measure it' but is not very essential stuff at all. However there is a mighty segue from the end of the dialogue into King Kong the studio version. This is a superb tune, and the studio version here sounds gorgeous. It's got some lovely keyboard playing and saxophone soloing (doubled up). No ark section here, it's a different version. There's also some great live blowing from ian underwood in the live king kong. And the end bit is hilarious sounding. All in all this album is a must have for true frank zappa fans. Thank you.

He's dark, tactless, philosophical and extremely sharp. You have to meet him half way if you want to truly understand him.

I recently went to a Yo La Tenga/Eleventh Dream Day double bill, and Yo La Tenga performed "Griselda."  The widespread neglect of this album is utterly unmerited by the quality of the music.  These songs are witty, funny, silly, absurd, beautiful, and whimsical.
+If you are a musician who's just getting into Tool, buy this album first and listen to it.  Listen to every detail that you'll find in the first release of a band who has come to be one of the most influential bands ever and still works to craft the face of modern rock.  You could learn something that would be essential to your musical journey, as they learned valuable lessons from the bands that were essential to theirs.

I wasn't quite born yet in 1968, when WOF had its greatest impact. At the time, the entire concept was revolutionary: take one album of live material, one album of studio material and sell them together in a single package. It was a totally new idea that fit perfectly with Cream's two-way split personality: live and studio.

First, there's the presence of the fabulous (uncredited) Ikettes on backing vocals throughout the album. (Something about Tina Turner and her cohorts singing stuff like "reety-alrighty he's the Zomby Woof" just tickles my funny bone). Second, there's a nice balance between complex arrangements and greasy guitar solos. And, finally, if you can look past songs like "Dinah-Moe Humm", there's some fine lyrics, from the trenchant commentary of "I'm the Slime" to the plaintive--dare I say, sincere?--musings of "Montana". It's not the first album I'd recommend to a Zappa newbie, but I think it does deserve a place in anyone's collection.

Her  impact on the world has been astounding, and her status  as musician, artist and teacher are unsurpassed. This much too short dvd is  jam-packed with her brilliant lyrics and breath-taking voice. The guest  artists enhance the experience just as they did on the (undersold)  Coincidence and Likely Stories cd, to grand heights. The songs on the dvd  are accompanied by bits of music videos and a wonderful amount of interview  excerpts and song introductions. She gives an obvious plug for the use of  computers (Macintoshes) in classrooms and as tools for creativity, thus her  philosophy of "Indians are still alive" is brought well into the  21st Century.

Aja and The Royal Scam are the two "must-have" Dan CD's, in my opinion, although everything they have done is worth owning.  Their cool vibe is totally unique.  And although you wouldn't say they are the greatest singers out there, they are definitely one of the greatest bands to jam on stage.  There is just nobody else out there like Steely Dan.  I'm not a jazz fan typically.  I'm more into the classic rock scene; however, the first time I ever heard The Royal Scam album (my intro to Steely Dan), I was hooked.  That was nearly 3 decades ago now.  There is not a bad song on Aja.  My favorite tune on this CD is Black Cow, and it sounds as good today as it did the first time I heard it.  Will I ever tire of hearing Steely Dan?  I think not!
+High points of the show include, but are not limited to, the extended version of Yours is no Disgrace, with the "Firebird Suite" at the beginning, the extended Steve Howe guitar solo, and the climactic build-up at the end, and a rockin', crowd-jumpin' All Good People.  Awaken, the sole "long-form" tune of the concert, is a beautiful, moving piece of epic musicianship that never fails to strike a chord in my heart, no matter how many times I watch it.  Check out Chris' triple-neck bass guitar during the song!  Excerpts from Time and a Word and Ritual break up the show in fine fashion, as does the Cinema/Owner of a Lonely Heart suite with Steve Howe's extended solo, but I could have done without hearing a shortened version of Roundabout (No milk bottles?

But, what's with the rap on  "Do You Like the Way"?  It detracts from the flow of music.  I  suppose Carlos wanted this cd to be inclusive.  Supernatural is a great cd.

The single had been No. 1 in Great Britain for what seemed like forever and I wanted to know WHY.  Have loved Bolan/T Rex ever since!  To this day I still buy and collect the CD's and am constantly looking for "new" items....especially the "live" footage.  T Rex comes across much differently to me Live.

I've experienced Tina live twice, so I could be choosy about what I did and did not like about this disc. First, the picture quality isn't the best. At times, the picture seems dark and murky, like it didn't record the best in the world. Second, the sound at times fades in and out a bit. You can see Tina's working hard, but not much sound seems to be coming out. It's not her fault, it's the sound technicians. One has to wonder if the extreme heat in Rio that night, and it was HOT, had anything to do with the flaws mentioned here. However, Tina just radiates energy, and the whole thing works due to her obvious enthusiasm with the huge, electric crowd of over 180,000 people, which was a record. It would be nice, though, to know what happened to the rest of the show not seen on this disc. I know for a fact that Tina does more songs than just 13 in a show. A definate high-light, as usual, is when she goes into 'Proud Mary'. What energy! Tina was 48 at the time, and looked 30 or so. Incredible! Finally, this isn't the best quality concert DVD there is, but it has what most lack: Tina Turner. This amazing woman is just the best onstage performer that has ever been, and it's worth having just for her presence alone.

My favorites are the opener Did Ya Get Onya?, the title track, and My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama.  This is Zappa's wildest, most free jazz influenced album, and I really dig it.  It's remarkable for many reasons.  It's really a bunch of leftover tracks from the Mothers of Invention.  The group had already broken up, but Zappa still managed to put out a few more albums with Mothers of Invention material.  Despite the fact that they're leftover tracks, the album is very coherent and feels like there was a greater concept behind it.  Despite being one of Zappa's most challenging albums, I really, really like it, and the more I play it, the better it gets.  If you have neighbors who are annoying, or the local teenagers won't go home, or your girlfriend and/or boyfriend are becoming like a tumour that just won't go into remission, put this album on.

But of course, the sound is less clear, and the acoustics steal her voice of it's true power.

However, over time I watched the film again...and again...and again. Soon enough, I myself became addicted to this movie, even though I'm not yet a full-fledged Juggalette. What I really enjoy the most from "Big Money Hustlas" is how Violent J and Twiztid are standing face-to-face with the camera while shouting out their lines; it was as if they were speaking DIRECTLY TO THE JUGGALOS! In general "Big Money Hustlas" is a top notch cult classic that pushes itself far beyond the social borders of obscenity...and it's obvious that everyone at Psychopathic had lots of fun doing it! Nevertheless, I urge all fledgling Juggalos to NOT watch it while their parents are in the next room!

+Shatner's passionate reading of Hamlet's mad, suicidal soliloquy is amazing, conveying the very depths of emotional trauma and confusion. Some find his overdramatization campy, but I tell you I was moved by the force imparted in Shatner's impassioned delivery. Shatner's "must give us pause" line is indescribably powerful; I'm adding this line to my personal catchphrase repertoire. The dramatic reading of Hamlet melds into It Was a Very Good Year; rising from the depths of Hamlet's emotional trauma, Shatner now imparts a sense of frivolity and wonderfully subtle humor in his delivery. This song's nostalgic reflection of the past serves as a clear counterpoint to a young Hamlet's visions of a bleak future.

+567	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Wow, what can I say?!  This release has totally floored me on several occasions and its power remains.  John Adams is one of those composers who uses all different styles and combines them into one that is uniquely his.  In this music there are traces of Glass, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Williams (both Vaughn and John), Holst and more.  But seriously although this work is titled Century Rolls that is not its highlight.  Rather the jewel of this recording is Slonimsky's Earbox.  This is simply one of the most awe-inspring pieces ever.  The passage from 11:30 to 12:30 is one of the most exhilarating and moving passages in the history of recorded music.  Lollapolooza and the title piece are also good but get this recording for Slonimsky.

+6841	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This cd shows you what Paul McCartney could do when he was trying to impress John Lennnon with his solo work. The recording quality is simple and lean, but very pure, with some good guitar work from outside help.  The bass was a little low in the mix compared to today's recordings and the vocals  are prominent and drenched in reverb, the  mode of the day.  He even has Linda singing harmony and she did a good job for being drafted into the studio and no prior experience.  It is better than alot of the current records, which are compressed to the max, and filled with overkill.  This was a very happy time for Paul, when he'd finally found his "wings" after the Beatles.  The song Too Many People was thought to be a critique of John Lennon, (you took your lucky break and broke it in two) and John fired back with the acerbic,  How Do You Sleep? on his Imagine album, where George played a wicked slide guitar.  It is a piece of Beatles history that started on this early post-Beatles album.

+7043	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This CD, in my opinion, represents the most cutting protest songs Guthrie wrote and performed. "This Land Is Your Land," included here with the extremely rare extra verse version, presents the song as he wrote it--a searing stab at the caste system, buried beneath the beauty of America's plains and mountains. Heard in this light, the song to me is no longer the light-hearted children's song we learned in grade school--it is a frightening message delivered via Guthrie's razor-sharp wit. The song sounds stark, forbidden, stifled.

They are each about 50 minutes long with "stereo" sound (actually "2-channel mono" I think) with no bonus features whatsoever, packaged in flimsy plastic and cardboard cases.
+The 70 minutes of this edited version (the concert, as seen on the DVD, is about fifteen minutes and three songs longer) span nearly the whole of Cale's solo career. Deliberately including no songs from the Velvet Underground, the concert kicks off with a song from Cale's fantastic second album, Paris 1919 - the gorgeous 'A Child's Christmas in Wales', and the excellent title song, one of Cale's best, appears later on. There are numerous songs from his celebrated Island Trilogy ('Fear (is a Man's Best Friend)', 'Buffalo Ballet', 'Ship of Fools', 'Guts', as well as his mind-boggling and gut wrenching version of 'Heartbreak Hotel'); 'Chinese Envoy', one of his biggest hits, from Music For a New Society; three selections from his album of Dylan Thomas poems, Songs From the Dying, which sound a whole lot better here than they did on the album; 'Cordoba', from Wrong Way Up, Cale's collaborative album with genius producer Brian Eno; up to 'Style It Takes', from Songs From Drella; all of it wrapped up with Leonard Cohen's classic Hallelujah, which was a hit for Cale long before it was adopted brilliantly by Jeff Buckley.

+  Personally the only two real drawbacks as far as I'm concerned are the full-screen 4:3 ratio vs. widescreen (a much better format for a PF concert that size). Full -screen pan and scan is definitely inferior and doesn't do the concert justice. The other short coming is the fact that when this version was edited it seems like the focus is more on distant shots of the stage as well as the films that were projected on the giant circular screen above the stage. Since all of the films were included as extras in the package it might have been wiser to utilize more shots of the band, large as it was.

Formed by ex-GNR and STP members, this new group plays hard, sleazy rock n' roll like it was still 1989. It adds elements of music from both aforementioned bands, as well as other artists like David Bowie, or Metallica. You may have heard the smash single 'Slither' on the radio, but just a word of warning: 'Slither' is not the best song on the CD. What seemed to me the ultimate hard rock song now seems almost mediocre compared to the other masterpieces on this album. The best songs are'Dirty Little Thing', the power ballad "Fall To Pieces', and 'Suckertrain Blues'. As for the explicit lyrics sticker, there really is isn't THAT much offensive content. Most of it is in 'Do It For The Kids', another standout track. This is one of the greatest heavy metal/hard rock CDs ever recorded. Let your hair grow long, and start playing those guitar solos again, 'cause 80's metal is back full force.

+When this album came out, Sweet was a bit of an oddity.  He had released a couple of albums that featured nice pop songs and a synthesized drum track, which rendered the songs rather more lifeless than they should have been.  On GIRLFRIEND, however, Sweet gets a full live, crack band with some of the best guitarists in the world.  As a result, you get a phenomenally successful collaboration between arguably the greatest guitarist to come out of the punk movement and a first rate songwriter.  As a fan both of great songwriting and great guitar playing, there are few more thrilling moments in rock for me than songs like "Girlfriend," which opens with an off-the-chart Quine intro, the gorgeous verses that follow, only to segue back into a scorching instrumental break.  Does it get any better than this?

In a short interview the singer discusses the problems of looking attractive for the camera while filming an aria. She does a nice job of singing "Mon coeur s'ouvre" from Samson and Dalila; but exhibits no emotion whatever - whether by the instructions of the director or personal preference is unknown. However, the aria doesn't work when sung without passion, especially in a club in front of a piano. DOA.

It would have been easy to just play a dozen songs from 'Dark Side Of the Moon' and 'The Wall', yell 'thank you very much goodnight', and cash in on classic rock nostalgia. But Gilmour appears beyond the point of caring about what's trendy or profitable. I've always enjoyed when world class musicians, usually late in life, no longer have to worry about making money or advancing thier careers and are free to  indulge themselves in the music they really want to play as opposed to the music they have to play.

+Richard's spine-tingling guitar opening to 'Roll over Vaughn Williams' lets the listener know that something special awaits. His sense of humor -- dark and thoughtful, yet playful -- is at work on many of these tunes. His fans have come to know and appreciate it well -- thankfully he has retained it through the years. The second track, 'Nobody's wedding', is a prime example of that humor -- it contains cloaked references to several musicians of the day who were known for -- shall we say unbridled celbrations? The line '...why is the Wild Boy chopping up the floor', for example, is reportedly about Keith Moon.

+Lets first start with the video quality. To correct the last reviewer this is a 4:3 DVD NOT 16:9. When stretched out to 16:9 the video is decent, but not great. Dont expect a R.W.

Never the less you won't be disappointed with the results of the digital remastering.
+This is required listening  for any fan of bluegrass music.  If there's a downside, it's the 31-minute  playing time.  But that's a bit like complaining that da Vinci should have  used a biger canvas when he painted the Mona Lisa.  The important thing is  the impact that art--whether it's music, or painting, or literature--has on  your soul.  This is music for the soul.  ESSENTIAL
+John Lawry has an amazing melodic sense on the keys, and a phenominal range and harmonic sense on his backing vocal input.
+That's how the album ends and how it should end.  The  current EMI edition ends as it was intended and is not missing much by  omitting the "bonus tracks" included on the Rykodisk versions.  Bowie often  ends his albums with a true closing song.  That, and the though that the  "bonus tracks" were not originally released because they were not very  good, should be respected to fully appreciate most of his albums.
+  "Holiday Inn" is a mandolin-driven tune that is most autobiographical. John implores his limo driver to "slow down, Joe" after landing at another concert locale (Boston, in this case.) Very pleasant tune, if a bit light-weight.

+8798	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album defined my `coming-of-age' musically. It is Tool at their most intense, full of the driving bass lines, heavy guitars, and thrashing drums that define so much of mid-90s metal. This album, though, is strikingly unique because the heaviness is intricately laced with moments of sheer melodic bliss. `H.', the album's third track is the perfect example: it starts with a pounding three note bass line and slowly progresses to moments of utter rhythmic beauty. Maynard draws a deep breathe before he sings softly over clean guitar scales and the ticking of drum rims, and suddenly bursts into a high-pitched scream, careening the song back into it's heavy beginnings. This album taught me to listen less for the next heavy riff and more for MUSICANSHIP, and in that respect, is probably the most important album I've ever listened to.

+Their third album, Midnight Marauders, was released in 1993. It's often cited as the best album by ATCQ, and to me it's tied with The Low End Theory for my favorite. Midnight Marauders is probably the most diverse album by ATC. There are some positive, jazzy, boom-bap type songs, some with a real message, a couple darker tracks, and of course a song for the ladies. Almost every song is a classic, providing great replay value for the album. It's one of the few albums I just pop in my stereo and don't ever press the skip button.

Granted, this show dates from 1996, so they aren't quite geezers yet (late 30's), but they sure ain't kids either. That doesn't stop these overgrown boys from reveling in sexual innuendos and schoolboy smartass behavior. As far as rock and roll is concerned, the posturing is sheer brilliance. So is the playing. For two hours, the band tears through hit after hit after hit, with a precision that is truly startling.
+"White Christmas" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" are fresh upbeat versions of these classics.  They maintain the melodies, but add harmony and rhythm as only 4 Him can.  I love them!

Dwarf is the story of an aging George Leroy Tirebiter sitting in front of the television, flipping through the channels only to find each station is showing a story about different phases of his life (complete with commercials). I'm uncertain if George was about to die and this is how his life flashed before his eyes. Regardless, this fine piece of work is often quoted. Some material has dated better than other, but still an album that bears repeated listening in order to "catch" half of the jokes, puns, and one-liners that are woven into the text of the album.

This album forever altered my perspective. The harmonica here is 100% pure talent. This is the album the solidified my relationship with Blues Harp. The playing on this is simply stellar, and the choice of players offer a diverse approach to style, from Cotton's ferocious, high energy playing to Wells' more soulful, precise wails. Every song here offers something, from the blues party style of Down Home Blues to the mornful tones of Black Night. What really makes this album happen, though, is the obvious enjoyment these guys get from playing together (demonstrated well in My Eyes Keep Me In Trouble). If Junior Wells hadn't passed away I would say a follow up from this group was in order. But as long as I have this masterpiece, I'll be happy. If you like Blues Harp, GET THIS!

Skaggs, of course, can hang with the best of them on a number of instruments, while Crowe, at least at that time, was far and away the best of the post-Scruggs style banjoists. Add to these guys a youngster by the name of Jerry Douglas, who merely re-invented resonator guitar (or "Dobro") stylings as we know them today - talk about a bluegrass dream team!
+Aenima is full of surprises and ingenious, progressive songcraft. It explores progressive rock territory with a tone that sometimes evokes King Crimson, but never sounding like them. AEnima is all very fresh. The hard-hitting opener "Stinkfist" pulls the listener in with a collection of hard rock trappings: mammoth, distorted riffs, devastating drums, and fierce vocals. But the band throws you off when they change gears with "Eulogy," an eight-minute piece blending monstrous heaviness with some compelling, wistfully dreamy textures (that beginning!). The musical sojourn continues with some other difficult tracks, like "Pushit" and the mesmerizing "Third Eye."  Contrary to popular opinion, I actually enjoy the "pointless" interludes and think the album is so much more with them included. I find that they add to sense of suspense before a real song rolls in. "Useful Idiot" -- nothing more than 40 seconds of static -- is stupid on its own, but as a precursor to "Forty-Six & Two" it serves as an interesting segue that teases you, leaving you almost begging for a song to start, as it grows louder and stronger, sort of creating a sense of tension with the listener.

As far as the media was concerned, the photo of Bowie as a post-apocalyptic half man/half dog mutant provided more than enough fodder for their copy. The album's hit single "Rebel Rebel" helped to disguise the paucity of continuity on this album, but the fact remains that Diamond Dogs catches Bowie at a fairly uncertain moment in his career. Fed up with Ziggy Stardust, but unable to entirely throw that persona off, Bowie dabbles in various modifications of his image with this album. Unfortunately, none are anywhere near as convincing as his previous incarnations. The main reason this happens is simply because the material is lacking. Bowie was certainly an artist who was capable of pushing his image before his material, but he was always imaginative as a songwriter, too, so the material always seemed to come from some rarefied place.

+The opening track, "Whiskey Train," is a fine blues  rocker, but nothing special.  The chorus of Robin Trower's other  composition, "About to Die," leans perhaps a little too heavily  on The Band as a model.  Every other moment on this album is breathtakingly  perfect.  Really.  Kudos to producer Chris Thomas, especially for the job  he did capturing B. J. Wilson's astonishing drumming (imagine Beethoven in  Keith Moon's body).  Gary Brooker's singing and piano playing are terrific.  Likewise Chris Copping's organ playing -- it's less majestic and melodic  than predecessor Matthew Fisher, but actually better suited to the darker  material.  And Trower -- long before he discovered Hendrix -- had an  utterly unmistakeable style of his own; his lead /rhythm playing in the  powerhouse rocker "Still There'll Be More" and his solo in  "Whaling Stories"  mark him already as a genuine Guitar God.

I am  huge fan of accapella singing and have always considered Take 6 to be the standard by which all other groups must be judged.  The Blenders get an A+ from me for this effort.  The chord progressions and voicings are unbelievably hip, the melodic and harmonic lines they weave are mesmerizing,,, and their voices are balanced perfectly.  The phrasing is second to none.  As if that weren't enough, they pack each track with such powerful emotion and feeling.  The group obviously didn't not toss this CD off as the obligatory "Holiday CD", a crass attempt to cash in on their talents and make an easy buck like so many performers seem to to with holiday offerings these days.  This was a labor of love from day 1, and it shows.  I will listen to this hundreds of times, not only at Christmas time, but year around, trying to figure out the harmonies and vocal lines; and just to listen to musical perfection.  What a joy to hear such beautiful, emotional music that is also brilliantly intelligent and masterfully constructed. p.s.-  If you really want to knock your socks off, listen to this with headphones!

And what a thrust, what an injection to start off a long and great career.  'Opiate', a 7-Song EP (consisting of 6 tracks and a secret song), is by far Tool's most raw, powerful, and metal effort ever.  Probably remaining so until they decide to call it quits.  Every song just feels raw, as if it were taken on one cut (the live tracks 'Cold & Ugly' and 'Jerk-Off' were recorded live).  The quality of the CD is great!  Even the live tracks sounded as if they were recorded in a studio.  Tool has never disappointed, not even from day one!  My favorite songs would have to be the title track "Opiate" and the live version of "Cold and Ugly".  Tool even shows off their goofy sides with the hidden track entitled 'The Gaping Lotus Experience', which sounds as if the entire band were on acid when they wrote/recorded it.  Funny, that's what the song is about, an acid trip!  Anyway you cut it though, this album is a great way to either start, or top off your Tool collection.

From reading the reviews here, I thought "Hunter" would be that album. Not. I can't imagine any album short of Air Supply that sounds more dated. Warnes sounds fine, but the material and production sounds dated even for the 1990s, especially in the first half with sappy keyboard work and drum tracks abounding.

Well, the chaotically sarcastic content ensures that you're not left with much sense of how seriously to take everything, but it's all pretty interesting, especially since McClaren and the Pistols star as themselves. There's something unnerving about watching McClaren describe how he tried to calculatingly invent, market and sell the idea of "punk rock." However, the interlaced appearances of several of the band's anarchic performances are enough to make sure that your faith in music has been restored by the time the credits roll.

+* `Exit' (live) = A fine better rendition of the song from THE JOSHUA TREE, which wind totally hacked nearly to a completely pointlessly passable track when it appeared in its studio version due to the production rendered by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno. In this live rendition- the essence of the song is very well audibly felt as a bluesy track, which segued into the song 'G.L.O.R.I.A.' - not their track from their 1981 sophomore album OCTOBER, but rather by their fellow countrymen veteran recording artists Van Morrison & The Chieftains.

+5371	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	and I am so glad this has been reissued. Twenty years ago I owned it on tape, and wore it out in about six years of frequent play. I loved seven of the nine songs, only feeling that "Manhattan" and "Raincoat" were a notch below the others. Her duet with Cohen on "Joan of Arc" had me in a spell, and along with "Song of Bernadette" which Jennifer co-wrote, were the two tracks I repeated time and time again. But her takes on "Bird on a Wire" and "Coming Back to You" and "Came So Far for Beauty" were also delightful no matter how many times I heard them. "Ain't No Cure for Love" and "A Singer Must Die" pleased me as well. It came out on CD, but I didn't have the budget to buy a copy while that one was still "in print." Now we have this version, in a lovely package and four bonus tracks. I like the addition of "Night Comes On" and "If It Be Your Will" although neither is as good as the seven best offerings on the older album. My problem with this edition is that I am not enthralled with "Ballad of the Runaway Horse" and I think it was a mistake to include the live version of "Joan" without Leonard to help at eight minutes' length. I would have rather heard Ms. Warnes sing three or four other Cohen tunes instead of those two. Still, this is a product that any Cohen fan, Warnes fan, or fan of great singing and songwriting should have on the shelf. There are seemingly dozens of thin-voiced female vocalists earning millions for putting out love or sex songs you can dance to, but whose content can be summed up in a couple of words: "Take me." Jennifer Warnes deserved a lot more money and fame than she received in her career (at least so far) because she performs with clarity, diction, heart, soul and mind. As for Mr. Cohen, he and Bob Dylan and Lennon-McCartney will likely go down in history as the best songwriters the world produced during the past 40 years. I find an Emily Dickinson-quality about Cohen's work: it is most frequently about death or other losses, it is often obscure in meaning, impossible to label as autobiography yet difficult to label as entirely fictional. And very powerful, hard to forget and easy to indulge in as a regular menu item for the literary minded. So four stars for this item as an entire listening experience, but buy it anyway. Its creators, including Ms. Warnes' band mates, deserve to be heard...by everyone.

+Both "Working On the Highway" and "Downbound Train" deal with hard labor in quite catchy ways, however "Downbound Train" only recently got to me; it is a dark song about a man's life being destroyed because of unemployment, while "Working On the Highway" is catchy, fun, and sounds like something labor men would sing along to.
+Their awesome battle duets punctuate the unfolding drama as Maddalena agonises - in dialogue with her sister - over her choices, and the orchestra supports them with real fire. The chest-thumping opening provided by Chiara Banchini's string band in the duet La mia virtude/Il senso  un nemico makes an impact that would lift you off your seat in a concert hall (if only). When Amor Terreno is finally defeated, the colours of her fury are so vivid you can taste it, and it's clear that the only destiny for such rage is Hell. Amor Celeste's victory-celebration Su, lieti festeggiate has the earthy gusto of mens' peasant dances.  A rather earthy sound for Amor Celeste at this point... even the metaphysical Mr Scholl sounds as though he could stomp his feet.

+EJK has so much stage presence and he could barely keep still.  There was a discussion on a messageboard that said he wasn't a good dancer.  Are you kidding?  This man can groove.  Someone explained it as dancing is too easy for him, and I am inclined to agree.  Especially during the I'm Losing You part!  He is really having fun.  I liked the sense of brotherhood between him and Ruffin.  In the Emperors of Soul box set, Shelley Berger mentions that in 85, Eddie's voice was shot.  I personally feel that was quite tacky and downright rude, tactless, and wrong to say.  To me, and believe me, I know when someone's voice makes me cringe.  I knew that it was Eddie and he sounded fine. Sure his voice was failing due to the smoking, but you know it's Sweet Eddie up there.  He looked good, y'all!!!!  And believe me, I would rather have a weak voiced Eddie sing Just My Imagination or any other of his songs WAY MORE than I would any of the guys that followed him.  Same with Ruffin. Can't nobody sing My Girl, Ain't Too Proud to Beg, I'm Losing You, etc. LIKE HE CAN!!!!

Then all of a sudden i started seeing this album on more and more listmania lists so i decided to check it out. I was expecting a mediocre album, but this was definetly worth the [money] i spent on it. Spice 1 has a hardcore delivery and hardcore lyrics. He also shows he can get deeper then just killing, which is a skill that i have only seen in a couple of other gangsta rap artists, such as the greatest rapper of all time, Scarface. The only thing that holds this album back a little is the production. I really wanted to hear Spice 1 flow over a hardcore beat but only a couple times did it happen. Other then that, this is a great cd. It also sounds pretty cool when he stutters in his verses like on the first song when one of the entire verses is him stuttering his words. The best tracks are "187 he wrote", "Clip & Trigga", and "Trigga Happy".

+650	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	On the surface, it seems like Bruce Springsteen made a 360 degree turn from his sixth album, the hushed, sparse and dreary Nebraska to his seventh, the chiming, slick and energetic Born in the USA. Take a minute and read through the lyrics, though, and you will see that USA resumes Nebraskas underlining themes of hard times and lost hope. In No Surrender Springsteen describes youthful dreams withering with age; in Downbound Train, he narrates the story a man who finds the good life pulled out from under him and in My Hometown, he depicts the erosion of a middle-American paradise. Even Dancing in the Dark, commonly associated with the Boss pulling a young, starry-eyed Courtney Cox onstage, boils with discontent (I check my look in the mirror/I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face/Man, I ain't getting nowhere/I'm just living in a dump like this). Then there is the title track, mistaken by campaigning conservatives and the public at large as a zealous ode to the red, white and blue, but actually a Vietnam Vets bitter diatribe about the country that forgot him. The glossy production and arena-ready choruses may have hidden it from casual listeners (and with sales of over 15 million, this disc attracted  a lot of casual listeners), but this is one gritty album. Ultimately, it doesnt matter if the lyrics and the arrangements work towards opposite ends. The one thing they have in common always shines through and thats passion.
+814	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Back in the late '80s, I was a big fan of Guns 'n Roses. I felt that they truly epitomized the heavy metal genre. In the '90s, I was a big detractor of the Stone Temple Pilots. I felt that they had jumped on the 'alternative' bandwagon. Who would have thought that former members of GNR and the ex-lead singer for STP would come together in 2004 to give music fans a supergroup no one expected to happen? Ex-GNR members Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, and Slash joins forces with Dave Kushner, and former STP singer Scott Weiland to form Velvet Revolver. The results is a potent, heady mix of classic hard rock music. There may nothing groundbreaking about "Contraband" but it is sure one heck of an album. It is a 56 minute opus of meaty guitar riffs mixed with the snarling sounds of Scott Weiland. The music is melodic yet heavy. The album kicks off with the bluesy "Sucker Train Blues". Great way to open up the album. Slash's trademark searing guitar riffs is all there especially on "Big Machine". I have to admit I primarily bought the cd because I love the first two singles "Slither" and "Fall to Pieces", especially the latter song. I just love the way Scott Weiland snarls through "Slither". Great guitar riffs from Slash. Other than the singles, the infecious "Do It For the Kids", "Big Machine", and "Set Me Free" are the songs that really stood out for me. I love a good melody and these three songs in particular each have an irresistable hook that makes me want to keep listening to over and over again. Don't get me wrong though, I love the entire album. Velvet Revolver is a lean, mean rocking machine. I thought they put out a solid rock album. I just hope that they develop a much more raw sound that "Contraband" seems to lack in having. I just felt that the album is a bit muddled and certainly could have been better. Otherwise love the album.

+9502	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The opening four songs of "Imperial Bedroom" are a simply amazing outpouring of Elvis at his finest; "Beyond Belief", "Tears Before Bedtime", "Shabby Doll", and "The Long Honeymoon" come at you like a brilliant bully, daring you not to be dazzled by their lyrical dexterity and musical diversity. "Beyond Belief" is that, with a spine tingling delivery of Elvis at-his-best lyrics that almost qualify as an instrument in itself. The first four are followed by "Man Out Of Time", which is fine also, and which manages to pull in the reigns of the almost out-of-control locomotive energy created by the first four songs. This definitely is a work of great ambition by an Elvis Costello at the peak of his songwriting powers, and its sprawl only occasionally dilutes the towering achievement of "Imperial Bedroom". "Town Cryer" is promising but never finds its edge, and is not helped by overproduction. In general it is the (over)production that is the only real weakness, and it's not a significant weakness. The sheer, raw talent of the young Elvis flexing his prodigious songwriting muscles more than compensates for a few too many horns.

+For proof of my minor interjections, first try on the great successes "Side Walk" and "Elektric City" for starters.  They have all the aforementioned elements of ChickFusion, but they are short and/or have great feel (check out those guitar riffs!).  Hands down, they pull off what fusion sets out to do.  My favorite songs in the world are over 10 minutes long, but with a jazzer you gotta be careful - next, check out "King Cockroach" and "Silver Temple" for comparison - Nice build-ups make up for their midsong noodlings, but it gets a bit unnecessarily strectched to around 7 and 9 minutes, respectively.  Ironic that this "what-is-going-on-noodling" is the very thing that rock guitar solos get blamed for, when I find most of those highly emotional.  Basically, it comes down to this; maybe some songs need to be 24 minutes long.  But as a craftsman of songs myself, I follow rule number one; when the song tells you it's done, end it.

+So, when you look at the rankings of these non Top 40 offerings you have to keep that in mind, as well as the fact that, for every song that made it into the Top/Hot 100 in any given year, there were upwards of four that did not (indeed, in 1959 Billboard introduced a Hot 100 Bubble Under listing to chronicle those that finished from # 101 to about # 150): Linda Lu - Ray Sharpe - # 11 R&B and # 46 Hot 100 in August 1959 for Jamie, featuring the guitars of Duane Eddy and Al Casey; Flamingo Express - The Royaltones - # 82 Hot 100 in January 1961 on Goldisc); Lonely Saturday Night - Don French - # 72 Hot 100 in June 1959 on Lancer; The Glory Of Love - The Roommates - # 49 Hot 100 in May 1961 on Valmor; (Do The) Mashed Potatoes (Part 1) - Nat Kendrick & The Swans - # 9 R&B/# 84 Hot 100 in Feb-March 1960 on Dade; and Why Don't You Write Me? - The Jacks - # 3 R&B/# 82 Top 100 in November 1955 on Gee.
+This cd, all the while representing the electric arrangements that permeated her work with GRP, is an excellent overview of this wonderful singers work.  Straddled with cold arrangements of the eighties, she made them work through her vocal warmth and emotional delivery.
+While "Rebel Yell" contains first-class singles, the album's other tracks should not be overlooked as the album is thoroughly terrific and well-written. If you are thinking about just picking up the "Greatest Hits," (2001) you are advised to reconsider. "Rebel Yell" is a landmark album, an eclectic stew of punk, pop, new-wave, and metal, that deserves to be heard in its entirety.

"Put your Lights On", "Maria Maria", and my personal  favorite, "Love of my Life" are all amazing songs.  I never would  have guesses that this album would be one of my favorite of the year, but  it is.  Santana is nothing short of a master on the guitar, and he mixed  his talent with popular artists of today to come up with something pretty  incredible.
+6457	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Back in the early 70's there were a dozen or so LP's that were found in every serious collection, and "Madman" was one of them. The piano, the voice, the arrangements, the lyrics told us a new major talent was emerging from his chrysalis. The texture of the entire LP was serious and professional. All the FM stations were playing "Tiny Dancer" (you could find her in every town from the east coast to the west coast in the early 70's), "Levon" (one of Elton's most significant social statements), and "Madman Across The Water" (hauntingly and poignantly beautiful). I especially like "Razor Face" and "All The Nasties" (strange title for such a beautiful song). "Goodbye" is too short for such a lovely song.  Like many of his early fans I too wish he had not turned into such a stageman. He had so much talent and so much to say with his music. "Bennie and the Jets" might be a fun concert song but I can't nor could I ever play this on my stereo. "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" would have been his masterpiece had he held it to one LP with just the serious songs (which were plentiful at this point). With that said, very few come close to the talent, music and humanity of his thirty years in the public arena.

+The opening song is probably the prettiest and saddest song Bowie ever wrote.  That's one fine little moment of brilliance there.  But then quite possibly my favorite song from the album "African Night Flight" is next.  I LOVE this song!  The verse melody, the way Bowie sounds drunk and sings "ahhhh trapped on islan-in Hawaii" over and over (actually that's not what he says at all, in fact I don't think he's actually putting words together there, but when you play the song enough times you begin to think he IS saying something!) and just everything about the extremely strong vocal melody... a classic!

+4787	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	I'm a huge Steely Dan fan.  However, while the sound and musicianship are here, the songwriting is terribly weak.  There simply aren't any good melodies.

+The album picks up with "D.J."  "D.J." is one of Bowie's most megalomaniacal hits, and is far more  enduring than other frequently heard songs like "Golden Years" and "Let's  Dance."  "D.J." manages to meld the avant-garde with a popular dance beat  and very edgy lyrics.
+  This 1992 performance at Red Rocks Amphitheater (outside Denver, CO) re-established the Moody Blues as a prime touchstone for ageing Boomers; so many of the artists that carried the 60's flame have burnt out, sold out, broken up or, in the most unfortunate cases, died. The Moodies, however, avoided most of the snags that undo older "legacy" rockers and gracefully moved with the times, while still maintaining the heart of their sound. Indeed, their latest studio album ("Strange Times") is their best since the Mellotron era. "A Night at Red Rocks" features most of the tunes that casual fans know as well as a few from their 80's period; played with love and appreciation for the huge and loyal fanbase that's kept them going into the 21st century...Not really needing the money, they keep the spark true.

+After "Who's That Girl", Madonna comes out in the same red tank top from the previous two songs, but wears red baggy pants, and her hair soaked and slicked back to perform Encore #3 & the ultimate concert song: "Holiday". Of course, Madonna puts in her audience participation, when she stops in the middle of the song, asks the audience if they are ready to go home. She then says she has to finish the song, but she wants to comb her hair again, so audience members throw combs onstage for Madonna. She combs her hair, informs the audience to sing along with her as she finishes the song, and the closes it out.

Many albums in the 70's and 80's were not vehicles for singles like they are now. It wasn't about selling single mp3's, it was about a collection of music that embodied a period of time.

+
+9315	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	All right. I once read a review of this CD which described it as a "Nightmare." That is probably the most apt way of putting the content of this album. The songs have a dark, dreamlike complexity that is hard to put across in any way except by a small demonstration. Intermission is a jokey, goofy break in the action. The band has just played a raucous number with a disturbing title (Hooker With A Penis) and we are enjoying a short, relaxing song. Suddenly, the riff we have come to enjoy mutates from a dippy organ piece into deep, throaty, distorted guitar. It is as if, while at a Playground, a psychotic murderer stepped up to the swingset and decapitated a kid while you weren't looking. And yet, there is something gentle and kind about the album too, as if...as if hope is not forever gone...and yet we never really glimpse what the hope is...I find this to be the best rock album I heard during all of the 90s, the best rock album I have ever heard, the best CONCEPT rock album ever put on display, and the best collection of stand-alone metal songs ever put to CD. Each song is a total gem, and the album is an inspirational goldmine. As a songwriter myself I find all the music held within the depths of this dreamscape to be entirely worthwhile, and insanely beautiful. Tool has inspired legions of bands that have no idea what they are doing to try and rip them off, and, in the process, have made themselves unique as the only metal band of the late 90s to truly try something new. And they succeeded masterfully. nema is the best way you can spend 10-20 dollars, and, if you aren't afraid of the nightmare, you may even wake up from it eventually.

+The song themselves are just great.  Of course, maybe that's because I've been listening to it for close to 20 years now, when this really was the style.  The disc opens with "Hands of Providence," which uses a harmonica to catch your ear.  One of the big classics is "Secret Ambition," a big rocker about Jesus' desire to die for us.  I'm also a fan of "I Miss the Way," a quiet piece that is a call for a wayward Christian to come back to Christ.  With the strings and piano, this is one of the not as dated pieces on the disc.

+7966	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I have had this CD for many years and have enjoyed it immensely. One thing that the favorable reviews here seem to leave out or downplay is the importance of the Roy Harris works featured here: American Creed and the When Johnny Comes Marching Home overture. This is the only recording in existence of American Creed and one of only two purely orchestral recordings of Johnny (the other is a 1935 mono recording by Eugene Ormandy that doesn't sound very good by today's standards). These two works, along with the Third Symphony constitute, in my opinion, the trilogy of Harris masterpieces. Several of his other symphonies are quite good, especially numbers 5, 6, 7, and 9, all available on Naxos. But these two works are better still. American Creed is a cogently argued but "very complex triple fugue" (to quote the Amazon review). In truth, words cannot describe this work: you must hear it to understand. If you love the Third Symphony (and which lover of American classical music doesn't?), you will really enjoy American Creed.
+It's a pity that this is a CD rather than a DVD, since the videoclips of this singer are extremely entertaining. I mean, one of them features Danny De Vito. Another shows Jabba the Hutt (!).

+Guthrie sang folk songs. Some he wrote himself, some he borrowed from others. Doing this today would result in heavy brickbat throwing along with accusations of "rip off!" But in Guthrie's day folk music meant borrowing. Times have changed. Long before constrictive copyright laws and the bizarre idea that artists must possess 100% originality to have relevance songs roamed the land in many forms. Folk songs came with a collective license (somewhat similar to today's Open Source software movement). It was not unusual for a singer to take another singer's music and put it to his or her own use. Guthrie did this. In fact, even Bob Dylan did this here and there on some of his earliest albums and in his Gaslight shows. That was folk music then. So some of the melodies on this CD may turn up on other folk singer's albums of the day. But that's okay.
+Danny Carey is a drummer that's been showered with tons of praise.  Now he is a skilled drummer, but skill with an instrument doesn't mean they automatically can make interesting songs.

+8005	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This recording literally overflows with enthusiasm both for the music itself and for the process of rendering that music. Andrew Manze and Rachel Podger are both impeccable, playing each other off wonderfully in the Double Concerto (D minor). The recording, while very, VERY close, nonetheless allows the listener to "see" both soloists (Manze is on the left, Podger on the right). The Concertos in A Minor and E Major for violin are both incredible, with Andrew Manze fearlessly sawing away with a boldness that is almost shocking at times, especially in the final Allegro Assai of the A minor. This disc includes a rendering of the Concerto in D minor for Two Violins (BWV 1060) that has come to us in a different form, as the Concerto for Oboe and Violin in C minor. Manze explains the rationale behind his "return" of the C minor Concerto to its original form, as a double concerto for two violins, in the detailed liner notes that accompany the CD. The Academy of Ancient Music plays with equal grace and fire throughout, an excellent accompaniment to the two wonderful soloists here. This disc earned the top recommendation from "The Rough Guide to Classical Music." True, as one other reviewer has put it, "Bach purists may be irked," but arguments aside, for the sheer joy of this music, this CD is not to be missed!

+So, what does the Concerto sound like? Well, it sounds like exactly what I had imagined it to be, ie a mix of an orchestra playing classical sounding music with the classic Purple sound. Some of the orchestral interludes seem to go on a bit, but I think in general, it's very successful in mixing classical and hard rock music. There's a couple bits during the second movement, where Ian Gillan sings, but it's mostly an instrumental piece.

With his new avant-garde wife at his side -- and enough money in the bank to last a lifetime -- Lennon set about ruining his bank value so he could return to being a 'private citizen.' All three albums -- Two Virgins, Life With The Lions & Wedding Album -- are potent reminders of a simpler time when artists could experiment wildly (or just be very silly) and still get released and distributed (erm, somewhat).

But 'concept' isn't just the domain of the avant garde, it's exploited from the most grand of recordings to the most base of popular musics. You've undoubtedly read some sort of Rolling Stone babble where the artist or their proxy journalist shill "explains" an album to make apparent the meaning that was otherwise absent from unindoctrinated listenings. But once the concept is digested the questions that remain are,

+Released in 1983, with its prevalent synths and flashy guitars, "Rebel Yell" sounds very dated, like a relic of a bygone era. Still, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. "Rebel Yell" functions as a time-capsule to another decade, another time and place. But "Rebel Yell" is hardly an example of style over substance; as the album has oodles of both.

Most movies are! This, in my opinion, is the ONLY Stephen King book that worked well on the big screen besides Misery. Brian De Palma's direction was excellent, and the instrumental soundtrack is just amazing. I wish i could rate this soundtrack cd much higher. It's great moody music to listen to when you're alone. It's very personal music and will not only remind you of the different scenes from the film, but it will also take you on a journey within yourself. The liner notes in the cd do an analysis of the tracks and what direction the composer was going in with each track. You also get dialogue clips from the film, and you also get the two beautiful songs sung in the background at the prom. Those songs should have gotten the woman who sung them a recording contract. Does she have an album or cd of songs out? I'd sure like to know. She has an amazing voice!! The sound of Pino's score is crisp and beautiful on the cd. The violins and flutes and cellos are so sharp and clear that you'd swear they were in the room with you playing. I can't imagine anyone who loved the film not being moved by this soundtrack score. It's beyond words how beautiful and haunting the tracks are. There is a sense of innocence and peace and beauty in some of the tracks. You can feel Carrie's innocence in those tracks. On the darker tracks you can feel the undercurrent of horror that is always present, sometimes subtle and sometimes in-your-face, but always there. Every track on the cd is important to those who have seen the film and love it. There are absolutely no filler tracks here. You can practically follow along with the events in the movie just by listening to the cd. I give this soundtrack ten stars. It's so beautiful and exciting and wonderful to listen to. I'm so glad Pino was chosen to score this movie. It would have not had the same emotional impact to the movie had someone else been chosen.  I'm thrilled this is finally on cd. Anyone who is a fan of the movie NEEDS to buy this immediately. You will not regret it at all!!

+The trifecta of ballads on this album is almost unmatched. "I Miss the Way" is a song of longing for a friend who has fallen away from God. "I Hear Leesha" parallels "Hello, Good-bye" in message and emotion. "Pray For Me" is one of Smith's classic goodbye-to-a-friend songs, and was played at many a graduation in the years following its release.

This as you might know if you've heard J & Y before is a little deceiving. The problem with Yoko is that she married what amounts to a Pop Megastar. This means that she was given massive exposure to the completely wrong crowd. The facts is, being a Beatles Fan and being a Yoko fan rarely meet because even in their most experimental, the Beatles were still 70-80% pop. Yoko was never more than 20-30% pop...a drastic difference. The fact is, you do not listen to Yoko for rhythm and melody. Tuneful should be nowhere near her name. She's a terrible singer in the traditional sense of the word and so if you like listening to music that's soothing or catchy, there is very little for you here. If you're interested in the story behind the album, there really is little evidence that Yoko miscarried her firstborn child during the recording of this album. While it is true that you can see the connections, that's the extent of it. I mean this by no means an album about miscarriage.

Spike Jonze's "It's Oh So Quiet" still stands as a shining monument of the titular chanteuse's talent, backflips and all, impressing even Lars von Trier, who went on to direct her in her film debut/swansong "Dancer in the Dark". John Kricfalusi, who ended up getting fired from his own creation, Nickelodeon cartoon "Ren & Stimpy", for being too dirty and vile, and Bjork join forces for "I Miss You", and the results are just as colourful and funnily sinister as the best "R&S" 'toons. And the collection comes to a close with Bjork metamorphosing into a giant blue polar bear in "Hunter", courtesy of Digital Domain, who did the special effects for "Titanic", and White of 'MeCompany', who were responsible for a lot of Bjork's artwork for her albums and videos.

Everywhere I turned you heard people misinterpreting the title track, (Reagan wanted to use it for his campaign-It's fairly obvious he never heard anything other than the chorus, if that much.) and the rest of the album was always on the airwaves. I had to leave it alone for quite awhile before I could appreciate it again. There are a lot of good numbers here once you get past the bombast. The fast moving double of "Darlington County/"Working on the Highway," the Cash-like "Downbound Train," the creepy "I'm on Fire," and  the pain behind the rockin' beat of "I'm Goin' Down," all work as well as anything Springsteen has done. It's the obvious "Glory Days," the very un-Springsteen like "Dancing in the Dark"(which could have been featured in Eddie and the Cruisers without missing a beat) and the over the top title track (which would have works really well as an acoustic version) that end up leaving a sour taste.

The members of Cream weren't really rock musicians; they didn't learn to play in some garage in the San Fernando Valley.  Jack Bruce was classically trained on cello.  He and Ginger Baker were seasoned jazz professionals and veterans of countless nights in London Jazz clubs. They were musical risk-takers, and highly inventive.  Eric Clapton, who grew up listening to the Mississippi Delta blues of Robert Johnson and the like, was a guitarist of considerable taste and imagination, who never overplayed his hand.  In producer Felix Pappalardi they had the perfect foil.  In the summer of 1968 Wheels of Fire dominated the playlist of the radio station where I lived (KRLA in Los Angeles), topped the album charts nation-wide, and became the first double-LP to be certified platinum.  Even more amazing, having reached the summit of Rock Stardom, as a band they decided to call it quits.  I was 20 years old at the time, and all these years later I still haven't quite gotten over it.

They love to get together with other musicians and stretch out their own musical ideas on beloved old tunes and mesh with the ideas of others.  When the musicians in question are the best in the business, the result is magic.  The liner notes detail how this project came to be.  All the band members were headlining their own groups except for Bobby Hicks, who was playing his fabulous fiddle for Ricky Skaggs and Todd Phillips who was playing bass for project leader Tony Rice.  The songs are classics.  The arrangements are beautiful in their simplicity.  The performances are stunning.  Later projects would add Jerry Douglas on resonator guitar and Vassar Clements on fiddle - on the all-instrumental project Vassar and Bobby play stunning twin fiddles that couldn't have been more heavenly if Bill Monroe had been guiding them directly.  I won't go so far as to say that this is the greatest Bluegrass Recording of all time. It may not even be the best of the series.... but it started the "Bluegrass Albums" and it's a good'n.

He constitutes and alludes that astrology and magik are the primal truths in the universe and explain the nature of everything in perfect absolutes. Doesn't it take a marked degree of faith to believe that eternal truths are spelled out in the stars above?Is he one of the mindless herds who are brainwashed into believeing that Alestier Crowley, alchemy and necromancy have the awnsers for mankind's questions?Could it be possible that he has pigenoholed and restricted his perception of truth as well?It takes a strong ammount of personal assent any way to believe that magik and witchcraft are redemptive wellsprings for illuminating the pathways of the universe. The music on this CD is equally as muddled and uncertain. MJK's bandmates show some considerable skill but don't come close to the effective and affecting powerhouse of "Lateralus" or even "aENIMA".Ideologically,while those discs invite  direct confrontations with God through their misguided and one dimensional  bitter and overt blasphemy and point towards magik as the ideal truism,the music is still more in the forfront, particuarly "Lateralus", so that the lyrical agenda doesn't suffocate the musical means. MJK's personal fallout with Christians I find a bit hypocritical, especially for a lead singer who thinks religion is for fools. Isn't magik a type of religion and doesn't MJK support that wholeheartedly?The songs on here are pretty narrow minded lyrically and musically fall short. I was impressed by "Lateralus" as their definitive musical statement and by and by that CD is less a Christ/God bashing soapbox and more an enigmatic sonic journey. The expression of the latter might be this band's redeeming strength. They should let the music and not MJK's hateful rhetoric do more of the talkin'.

This is a 'real' concert, no overdubs, no  retakes, no self-indulgent solos. Just drums,guitar,bass, piano and the  lady herself. There are a few rough/slow spots, but I can live with that  because its also balanced by those magical moments where the band really  clicks and the music takes off. Thats what rock and roll is.. magic. If  you're more concerned with video/sound quality than with the performance  itself then you may want to pass this one by. My main concern is "Does  it rock?".

Some people were elated when Dio rejoined the band to record Dehumanizer, but it turned out to be a disruption of continuity, and Tony Iommi admits that he should have never disrupted things. Consequently, this album suffered from lack of sales due to a disenchanted Dio fan base who were expecting more releases from the Dio lineup, coupled with the Tony Martin fans who perhaps lost track of things when Dehumanizer was going on. Despite all of this, the album shines on many fronts. I think that Tony Martin was his best on this one, and Geezer Butler adds his signature doom and gloom bass to the songs. I particularly like the songs IMMACULATE DECEPTION, VIRTUAL DEATH, PSYCHOPHOBIA, and DYING FOR LOVE, which is a rare ballad from these guys. Virtual Death has really grown on me through the years. This is a balanced effort that rocks, and the subject matter is vintage Martin all the way. I WITNESS is the perfect starter, and is a great jam. I recommend this album to those who thought that Tony Martin's contributions to Black Sabbath were commendable and worthy; I certainly think that he did a good job overall, with the exception of Forbidden (1995). I think that this album edges Headless Cross and The Eternal Idol.

+In conclusion Contraband is the single best record I've heard in YEARS. I'm only 15 and, priour to this, i was really trippin over the fact that i'd never hear good NEW music. This record blows all those other "rock" bands away. and it's a breath of fresh air from all the rap/hip hop crap that plagues the radio continually. I don't think i've ever been happier to have spent 10 pounds in my life! Even if you're unsure about getting this album get it anyway. If you're a fan of Guns n' Roses, Stone Temple Pilots, or just GOOD ROCK music in general pick this one up. You'll never regret it.
+(I think) the first time the entire Dark Side of the Moon album was
+But still, the album is horrendous.  As you listen to it, you cannot help but firmly believe that Shatner thinks he's pulling off some great artistic feat with this album. However, he is wrong.  Horribly wrong.  The arrangement of each "song" is sub-par, the backing band of studio musicians on the album has no life, and then there's Shatner himself.  With his trademark delivery, Shatner leaves his indelible mark all over every track, and that's really not such a good thing.

+As for the songs, they're pretty long. But Tool made sure of one thing; they made their music effective, unlike bands like Dream Theater and Symphony X who just mkae long progressive songs for the sake of it. And Maynard's vocals/lyrics are almost untouchable. Actually seeing him on stage was unreal because he was so enigmatic. He commanded the stage without really trying.
+
+The SOFAD film captures the mood of the band perfectly......but that's not always enjoyable. Alan clearly looks pissed off with the whole thing, Dave clearly sounds like a drug addict, telling Paul Gambaccini ( the most irritating guy around at the time ) " don't say that, for f**k sake " when told that his tattoos were seemingly " springing to life." The atmosphere is really cold in this film. Martin seems a little subdued here. It's like he'll talk about everything but he doesn't really want to. In fact, it's Fletch who livens the interview up a good deal and I think it's to his credit that he does this. He may talk about business matters for some of it but he does make the interview not so much of a slog as it would have been without him.

They are each at the front of their game...and are brilliant in unique, almost tangible ways. I am not certain whose idea this CD was, but what a wondrous pairing! Warnes adds new levels to each of the eight excellent Cohen songs she interprets here...and does a remarkable job on her songwriting collaboration with Cohen, "Song of Bernadette." Americans barely noticed this superb collection; it was overshadowed by Warnes' #1 song "The Time Of My Life" of the same year. However, I don't believe anyone can say he or she has heard Jennifer Warnes without hearing this recording first! Warnes' immaculate interepretation of "Famous Blue Raincoat" blows Tori Amos' well-known version out of the water! Just as exquisite are "Bird On A Wire," "First We Take Manhattan" and "Ain't No Cure For Love." Warnes and her co-producer, C. Roscoe Beck, handpicked a batch of amazing musicians for this 1987 CD, including a Stevie Ray Vaughan guitar performance that is mind-blowing! Snatch this CD up and listen to it like there is no tomorrow...it's brilliant!

+What makes RAM superior to McCartney's first solo effort is the inclusion of other musicians (and not just novice Linda, who got equal billing here). Although decent on guitar and only fair on drums, the future Sir Paul's true instrumental talents lay in his bass-playing, which shines brightly on this record. "Monkberry Moon Delight" for example, is driven by the bass line.

And even from supposed Professional Beatleologists! But here he does it with grace and style and a fantastic sense of what needs to go on in a perfect pop song. Truly, there aren't any better pop songs on one single Beatle-related album than "Ram".
+There are two videos for "Cornflake Girl", of which the European one, a b&w collage of images and objects, including a tornado swirling around, Tori superimposed as if caught within the maelstrom, and a burning house flying up.  As for the American, it's merely Tori driving a pickup through the desert while her girlfriends are horsing around in the back.  The action switches to Tori swinging by her lonesome on a merry-go-round.
+Make no mistake, The Division Bell is an outstanding album, and Floyd does a phenomonal job of synching the musical performance with the accompanying film (can anyone explain to me how they do this?).  I can't help but wonder how much greater it could have all been had David Gilmour and Roger Waters put aside their egos and issues, and continued to make the greatest music of the latter quarter of the twentieth century.  What incredible stuff would they have created?  It boggles the soul.

+1692	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This video captures Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble as well as anyone could ever hope to.  Bands generally divide into two categories.  The vast majority do their best work in the studio and try with varied success to capture some of what they did in the studio in their live performances.  Then there are those rare bands whose natural element is live performance.  These bands try in the studio to capture some of what they do live.  Double Trouble was definitely the second type.  The performances on this video are every bit as technically proficient as anything Double Trouble ever did in the studio, but they are fluid and alive in a way that is rarely if ever captured in the studio.  Incredibly, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble were actually better live than they were in the studio, a rarity.  I had the good fortune to see them live a few months before Stevie Ray Vaughn died.

+The additional bits are also quite excellent.  I particularly enjoyed the "Digits" as one for those of us that play the guitar.

+The group's frontman is Maynard James Keenan, but he isn't the only band member who is a musical Einstein. Guitarist Adam Jones is a true star, and he shines brightly, here. Everything (vocals, lyrics, musicianship) is perfect. About every song has of sophisticated, thought provoking lyrics, multi-faceted vocals, complicated music, roaring riffs, brooding drum work, complex song structures, catchy rhythms, odd time signatures and tempo changes, eerie sound effects, dark themes, haunting atmospheres, inhumanly brilliant songwriting, and restrained rage/insanity. Tool are the masters of all of those things and combining them together to make a perfect, innovative disc.
+In fact, many have said that the first two songs are the most energetic 8 minutes of just about any album.  I agree.  I submit that we add the third song as well because it shows the heaviness in yet another way.
+Secondly, if you DO think they suck, at least explain why instead of yelling "I HATE TOOL!", because that doesn't tell us diddly-squat about the product or why you disliked it. Anyways, this cd has some strange little tidbits, such as Useful Idiot and Cesaro Summability (neither of which are actual songs)that although senseless, compliment the songs that come after them. Some of the strange tidbits, such as Message to Harry Manback and Die Eier Von Satan, sound like they were made purely for fun, which is cool, because it shows Tool wants fans to get something more out of a cd.

+6316	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	The standout track on this album for me is the incomparable "Levon". This track alone is worth buying the entire CD for - because it so powerfully complements the rest of the CD. "Levon" manages to be a brightly orchestrated, upbeat sounding pop song that is absolutely haunting after a good listen. This is a complex, intricate song with amazing strings and percussion, topped with Elton's driving piano and a slightly understated vocal, if anything Elton ever sings could be called understated. Bernie's lyrics give "Levon" its edge, and they create the perfect level of tension and foreboding in this song. A most unique, and at the time, quite daring song.

It's funky, slick, clever and darn near perfect in its production.  Every song grows on you and it's as infectious as any of their offerings were back in the 70s and 80s.

+767	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I come back to review this album in the wake of VR second album release "liberated".  Contraband is the orginal first effort of this group, made up of ex-Guns and roses members Duff, Slash and Matt Sorum (second drummer for guns After Steve), Stone temple pilots frontman Scott Weiland, and Dave Kushner, former guitarist for Wasted youth. Originally known as "the Project" and filmed for a VH1 documentary while rehersing and serching for a frontman, Weiland fell into their laps and they hit it off right away.  Set me free was their fisrt song and released on the Hulk soundtrack.  Next release was SLither. These first two has the old STP sound to them, with a kick of GNR guitar from slash. Final big release off the album was Fall to pieces, A great ballad and very GNR sounding.  Overall, a great mix of sound on the album from both groups. I agree that the mixing was a bit rough, but still good.  With their second album out now, the band has really come into their own sound, and comparing it to this album, Contraband was definitly a start, and seems a mix of their root groups sounds, but awesome anyway.  Hopefully these guys will keep going and not fall apart like audioslave recently did, another supergoup of this decade.  Check this album out.  Unfortunately, this edition was a copy protected album, so making taking it to I pod, mp3 is not really possible.  Oh well, still worth it.

Okay so the first three songs were/are played to death on the radio. This is another album that surprises me that it was a hit because it's so dark for the most part and doesn't sound like the other stuff that was being played on the radio at the time. A song like Wasted Time reminds me of an updated tourch song and not really anything like the Bay City Rollers or Tony Orlando And Dawn(big hits at the time). Originally this was going to be the last Eagles album but the record company had other ideas. This is also the first with Joe Walsh in the band and his main song on the album Pretty Maids All In A Row is the best song he's ever written. Randy should be pointed out for his tune Try And Love Again which is also the only song on here in which the band does it's country/rock thing. Once again, I would suggest going with the box set and getting the mini lp sleeve version.

For one thing, it's 77 minutes long (granted, there are some long intros and outros, but those are also what Tool have become famous for.) Next, even though it's a great listen from the first time you listen to it, there's more to this album than what initially meets the ear. That's mainly because the lyrics are very smart and deep. For instance, the title of the song "Forty Six and 2" references Carl Jung's theory (Carl Jung was a psychiatrist) that you can reach a higher revolutionary state, where your body has two more chromosomes than the normal 46. Also, in more than one song, Maynard talks about his "shadow." The shadow, in question, represents the side of Maynard's personality that he hates and fears.

+5660	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Besides his incredible voice, what I always loved about Nilsson was the sense of wonder he expressed in most of his songs. Even his early album covers had a childlike quality--until adulthood hit with Schmilsson. Several titles on this album show the innocent world Harry often evoked--"The Puppy Song", "Mother Nature's Son", "Simon Smith". You got the sense he wanted to hold on to his childhood for awhile longer. Listening now takes me back to the late 60's, when I was trying to hold on to my own childhood. It's nice to hear it now. This is one of his best albums--no major hits, just very good songwriting from Harry and well-chosen covers of Beatles and Randy Newman. Most Nilsson albums were very short, though--and I'd suggest you invest in the import instead, which pairs "Harry" with "Nilsson Sings Newman"--my favorite of his albums. NSN features 10 great Newman songs and is perfect for those who appreciate Randy's wit (but maybe not his voice). NSN was chosen as 1970 Album Of The Year by Stereo Review. Plus the import has 2 good bonus tracks never before released. It's a shame Harry Nilsson didn't leave us with more, but let's savor his talent and his love of great songs.

Additional postures are standing side bends, standing back bend, forward bend with stomach pumps, and standing rotations. The second warm-up set is also quite active, beginning with a 45-second hold of plank pose. Next is a combination of a kneeling backbend moving into child's pose, laced arms behind you; this is followed by a wide-legged bow forward in child's pose. Coming to lying on the back, you'll reach alternate arms through wide legs. The final posture is BOF while lifting the head with alternate legs/both legs (stretch pose).

Some of the performances here leap from the screen, such as on the climaxing "Get It On" (which also features some tight playing from the rhythm section of Finn, Currie and Legend).

In this incredible performance, Buffy proves beyond doubt that she still matters just as much thirty years on. If anything, the mature Buffy has even more to offer: power to spare in that amazing voice and loads of experience to back up her undimmed idealism. Even without the worthy politics for which she is (I'm sure)well known and respected, she just gives so much of herself to every song here that you cannot help but feel mesmerised by the music, and by the sheer strength of her personality. I had never heard her own version of "Up Where We Belong" before and it is a revelation. "Until Its Time For You To Go" is one of those precious songs which deserve to last forever, and newer material like the cry of outrage "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" holds up well even in such exalted company. With so many highlights, ("Universal Soldier", "God is Alive", "Starwalker") this is a performance to cherish and a brilliant way to get re-aquainted with one of the great artists of our time. My thanks to Nicholas for sending me this as a gift from Amazon!

I would have liked to see the band at the top of their game,but this DVD gives you a very good idea of what that must of been like. The band is in top form playing a wide range of their material. The only time I was disappointed is when Stevie Nicks didn't reach for the high notes like on the studio recordings. This may be due to her not being able to do it any more or just wanting to change it up a bit. Either way when you know songs as well as these you want to hear them done the way you remember them. Aside from that one small complaint,the sound is rich and clear and the transfer is very good. The band really conects with each other and you feel like you are part of something special when your watching this. If you like concert DVD's,you should have this in your collection.
+Although for hard nosed Fleetwood fans the group may have lost a tiny bit of their youthfull edge, I mean I guess were all getting a little older, the gang pounds it out so well that you have to be basically brain dead not to get that tingly feeling as your mind fills with images of times gone by.

According to another reviewer, it's the same mix that was used on the 2001 DVD-audio disc, which is currently going for over $200. I can confirm that the copyright date listed on this disc is 2001, which would indicate that Warner did in fact use the same mix.
+The only reason I cant rate this collection Five Stars is because for some inexplicable reason they chose not to include the original version of WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE.

Several of the tracks sound like he over-dubbed the guitar  leads, long after the main song was finished, so they seem redundant. But  enjoyable nonetheless.

Real, raw hip hop that Erick Sermon produced, but Keith runs the show with some hot rhymes, flows, and beats/music to match with his voice. He can be crazy and funny at times, but it's his style that nobody touched.  Many of the songs are funky. I actually like the original version of the title song instead of the version made for radio that interpolates the Isley Brothers' Between the Sheets. The original version is RAW, all beats and scratches, very hip-hop and allows Keith to rap freestyle over the beats! I hope that Keith gets past some minor setbacks to make another hot album because his rap style is definitely missed.

+BOTTOM LINE:
+I can not say enough about Jack Bruce on the first part. Superb songwriting and construction. He extends himself to bleak areas. "White Room", although pristine, gets soiled by disappointment. The lively riff is juxtaposed against feelings; and especially lines like "where the shadows run from themselves" are as vivid and unique and understood as being exemplary. "As You Said" employs his wonderful acoustic guitar (with cellos!) and interesting construction insofar as chords and keys. What are they Jack? Sharps and flats I am sure, but maybe 5ths, 9ths, and sustained? This is his songwriting. Other-worldy and quite a marvel. "Deserted Cities of the Heart" has a little of this added as well. Ginger Baker adds his unusual "Pressed Rat and Warthog" (a talky piece with horns even alternately between two chords!). But, recovers and proves himself with "Those Were the Days". The best Jack Bruce tune not written by Jack Bruce.
+Bit of record company irony:  The original album version came with a cool foil cover.  The cover won a Grammy award.  So, the record company plastered a big label on the album cover saying "Grammy Award Winner".  When my brother bought his copy, and tried to peel off the label it ripped the foil.  Later vesions of the album came in grey.  When first transferred to CD, the studio CD and live CD were sold separately.

+A classic set.  Every Miles fan should get it, especially if you're a fan of the first great Miles Davis Quintet.
+Of course, once I had enough loose change I bought the album and promptly proceeded to play the first side about five times as often as I flipped it over and played side two; having the CD Across the Water" was a seminal album in my life. I seriously started listening to FM radio in the early Seventies because means I tend to listen to the whole thing all the way through. I would argue that "Tiny Dancer," "Levon," "Razor Face," and "Madman Across the Water" equals the best side of any Elton John record. I also used the title track as part of a poetry unit for English class (ah, those liberal days of yore). The movie "Almost Famous" has made "Tiny Dancer" popular again, but anybody who listens to this CD is going to find out there are some other great songs too, from the somber "Indian Sunset" to the catchy "Rotten Peaches."

So why doesn't Warner/Reprise do the same thing for Frank Sinatra's classic TV specials? Could "The Family" be involved perhaps...? Sure, they can get behind a phony "Sinatra at the Palladium" multi-media extravaganza where you watch 20-foot projected videos of Sinatra singing accompanied by a live orchestra thanks to "unprecedented access to Frank Sinatra's film archives"... but they can't seem to get Sinatra's video performance legacy released appropriately on DVD...

+Next up, Zakk Wyldes Black Label Society takes on Pictures Of Home, and don't do a half bad job at it, too. Zakks voice sounds surprisingly great, here, as he lays down some softly crooned vocal lines, as do his guitar leads, which are nicely bluesy, and solos, which are very inspiring and wailing. Then, after a mostly unremarkable cover of Never Before from Kings Of Chaos, we are treated to another cover of Smoke On The Water. This one, however, is very different than the one that began the album, as it is by a surprising band (The Flaming Lips), who do an actually very decent job of covering the classic. Their rendition of the song is filled with rock 'n' roll guitar hooks, funky-sounding bass, and effects-heavy spoken-word vocals that are utilized to maximum (and totally trippy) effect.
+So why not five stars? Because while the bonuses are nice, it's the *album* that matters most. For one, sound-quality issues keep this from being the best iteration of the album. Additionally, the decision to go with the "rougher" mix of the album is puzzling, as I find the more polished mix of "My Size" on the Sundazed disc to be far superior to this version. Would it've been so hard to include both mixes where they differed? Worse yet, like the Repertoire CD before it, this is *missing* the "soft vocal" version of "What Are We Doing Here," which resides as a bonus track on the Sundazed disc (and is the version used on Rhino's hits comp). What the heck? Why isn't it here?

+Band 13: Kirsten Flagstad - 1938 (3:15) - A segment from the movie "The Big Broadcast".  Introduced by Bob Hope. Another glorious vocal performance in a bizarre setting.  The setting appears to be a cocktail lounge or club; an audience (obvious Hollywood extras) is seated at tables in white dinner jackets and evening gowns.  There is a smallish (for Wagner) orchestra sawing away.  The curtain opens on the very round, 43 year old Flagstad, in full valkyrie regalia, standing on a paper-mach&eacute; rock, waving a short spear around while trying not to fall off the rock.  But, you are not likely to ever hear "Hojotoho" sung better - or by a richer, more beautiful voice.

+"In the Grip of a Tyrefitter's Hand" has a nifty verse melody.  I originally didn't like it, but now think it's a decent vocal melody.  Hey things change, so things I used to dislike are now becoming good to me.  I can't explain how that happens but I like it!  The very heavy guitar riff soon after the vocal melody is REALLY cool, as is the guitar solo after.  This song soon goes through a period of back and forth battling between the guitar riff and solo and I really love it a lot because it reminds me of classic 80's metal acts such as Slayer, Iron Maiden and Metallica that used to write music the same way.  Actually I like Budgie more than these 3 bands, as impressive as they all are (and trust me I LOVE Iron Maiden so it's not easy for me to admit I prefer a band over them- I consider Iron Maiden legends!)
+7997	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	There seems to be some mixed reviews on this one.  I would say most perspectives cited below are right to some measure.  The music here is mostly marvelous period music-making (especially in the fast movements) from two top guns of the Baroque art - Manze and Podger.  But, as others note, some of the violin solos (especially in the slow movements) do not sound all that wonderfully lyrical and tonally rich - but somewhat 'strained' and lacking perfect intonation.  Perhaps it is partly due to the extremely close miking and over-projection of solo violins in the recording as others note below.  Another part if just the sharper and more direct style and sound of Andrew Manze - a more 'traditional' (gutty) period sound, if-you-will - which will not appeal to all.  If its a smooth, supremely-elegant tone you prefer, then the Grumiaux/Krebbers recording on Philips is probably the favored choice if you accept vibrato as fitting with Bach's music ... or the sensuous readings from period-violinist Fabio Biondi with the Europa Galante (my top pick).  Compare the Adagios of Manze and Biondi to see what is meant by "direct tone" versus "sensuous tone" due to the greater accentuation of vibrato, rubato and lyrical shaping of lines from Biondi.  A more humble yet warm and elegant version comes from the Kings's Consort with Elizabeth Wallfisch (Hyperion) if you prefer a more relaxed take on these works.

They are heavy, ugly and violent rock and rollers. In fact the style of Tool can be best described in the name of one of their songs. The song is called: Cold and Ugly.

+"Echidna's Art (Of You)" is a relatively fast-paced flurry of instrumental chops galore.  It's pretty good too.  It's instrumental playing performed in Zappa's typically goofy and slightly off-putting kind of way so you're never really sure whether to take it as a joke or as a legitimate display of talented, creative genius.

If you aren't in the mood, buy it and Play, From songs Camarillo Brillo to Montana it gaves you strong impression with grate guitar work from  Frank and band playing.  Listen to the grate and original voice of Frank Zappa, it sensational, and  minded, full of strange stories.
+His instrumental playing is another highlight, though never blows me away like on many of his studio albums.  I'm not sure why exactly. Perhaps because Zappa rarely keeps his guitar solos going for a *lengthy* period of time to really build into something magnificent.  I can think of a couple exceptions though.  On the flipside however, you will get to experience Zappa's humorous side in all its glory.
+  As for the hits "I'm On Fire" is always a certain favorite. With it's pulsing,spare,heartbeat like rhythm and lyrics comparing suicide with hormonal,passionate romance. "Glory Days" is another great patented Springsteen rocker with this great organ hook and a more relaxed,hometown story flavor. Of course my favorite here is "Dancing In The Dark", a great modern dance/rock so many of us know well and....well okay can't help but think of a young Rebecca Romijn dancing with The Boss with her Dorothy Hamel haircut in the video. Again possibly unrequited passion is the key here. Point is for this album-when Bruce is excited,weather it be physically or emotionally the tracks are excited. And when he's reflective the music is moody yet tense. Even though sometimes Clemons does try maybe a little too hard to be Jr. Walker (Clemons still blows a mean rock sax though basically) this is about as good as soulful heartland style rock was going to get in this era alongside Tom Petty,John Mellencamp and Bob Segar. What Bruce also has is an individual and distinctive sound that even the demands of an era and commerciality couldn't erase. And no matter what music one is doing,that's important.

+Over time Elton played keyboards of various types, but on his recent album "Songs from the West Coast" he returned to the piano once again, recalling the relative innocence of this early music, though with the maturity of a talented, seasoned artist.

For close to his 35th year in show business, he has made the ultimate impact in what it really takes to be a great singer-songwriter. He has had thirty years in a row of scoring a single Top 40 smash, an Oscar, and everything you could imagine. Still, he has some memories about his rebirth, and they're here as well as it should. Back in 1992, Elton John went back on tour promoting his record, The One, which turned out to be a huge revival in the states, which hit the the Top 10 on the Billboard charts. It was the first time in 16 years he had a Top 10 record in America. The real trick was to bring his revival on the road.

My parents had this in their collection back in the day when I was growing up, and it was one of the albums that had a big impact on my musical taste. Musically and lyrically there's not one song on this album that I can say is "sub-par".

+4755	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	The new Steely Dan record is pretty much in the same vein as "Aja" and "Gaucho." Fagan's vocals and horn section are just as good as ever. Most of the tenor sax solos are by Chris Potter,he  stands out on the easy "Gaslighting Abbie", and a more upbeat  (more of a Steely classic)"West of Hollywood." Other standout  tracks are "What a Shame about Me","Cousin Depree",and  "Almost Gothic", which recalls "Deacon Blues." Though  Becker's guitar work does the job, I kinda wished they added muscians like  Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi), Mike Campbell (Heartbreakers) or Robert Cray.  Because this record doesn't contain any rockers like "Reelin'in the  years", "My Old School",or "Black Friday."
+My bottom line - I went from "why bother" to "listen to this" after one sitting.  If you grew up during the 60's and 70's you'll enjoy this concert.

It's like all the folks who sat (and still sit) through "La Vallee" just to hear the Pink Floyd score.  I guess it doesn't ever occur to them that the film was made for its own reasons and in order to bring the folks in, the filmmakers made sure there was a popular reason.

+9854	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This, along with Imperial Bedroom, is my favorite Costello/MacManus album (I actually prefer his real name, Declan MacManus). I have loved the fact that Costello has changed over the years, trying ever musical style known to man, writing probably around 1000 songs or so, and has never really made a godawful album (Goodbye Cruel World, generally considered his worst album, has some good tunes on it). Declan released 2 albums in 1986, King of America (another masterpiece), and this one. This one is much rawer and more powerful. The opener, Uncomplicated, is superb. The next one, I Hope You're Happy Now, is cool, too, but the 2 masterpieces are Tokyo Storm Warning, a breathless, amazing piece of wordplay and music, and the song I Want You is one of the best songs about love (and anger) I've ever heard. Costello has been really amazing throughout his career. He can still turns the anger on, but it never defined him as an artist or as a human being. He's not stuck in arrested development, like some rockers can be. He continues to grow as an artist. He may have started out as a punk, but he isn't a punk, and honestly, never really was. He has a ton of depth that really comes out in his music. Declan rules...

If you don't mind picking up a CD for what (I think) amounts to 2 really good tracks, 3 decent ones, and the rest worth skipping, then by all means get this CD. It, of course, belongs in any serious MWS fan's collection. But if you are really wanting solid MWS quality track after track, then Change Your World and This is Your Time fit that bill better.

A lot of people also take "Smile Away" as Paul commenting once again about Beatle politics at the time, saying to the others...go ahead smile and smirk while I sit here hurt, but I'll have the last laugh.  This is perhaps the finest individual Beatle solo record in existence.  Honorable mention to Linda McCartney, who does a fine job with her endearing backing vocals and harmonies.

Cannot imagine a better gift for the fams of these two tremendous talents than "Live at the Troubadour".  If you rate Carole King's "Tapestry" album as a must have, you will enjoy this CD/DVD combo.

If you are new to Zappa, or are just moderately familiar with some of his tunes, this is the album to begin with. But don't be fooled by the seemingly simple riffs and hooks employed in these songs. As singer Ricky Lancelotti chants on Fifty-fifty: "I figure the odds be fifty-fifty that I just might have something to say!" Because in this album Zappa takes his most succinct stab at popular culture. His satire on America's pop culture was so cunning that he even managed to gain a guest appearance on Saturday Night Live on NBC and played "The Slime", a scathing commentary on the innane content of today's (and yesterday's) television programming.

+6300	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Elton John was huge in the period of time between 1971 and 1977. He had a string of highly successful records and was a major concert draw. Eventually his on-stage persona took over the man and he became this larger than life fictional character when in reality he was a chubby balding little man. But, he was big on musical talent and that was most evident on his 1971 classic "Madman Across the Water". It includes John standards "Levon" and Tiny Dancer" as well as the title track. Looking back this record has a similar feel to much of its predecessor; "Tumbleweed Connection" with a little less of the country feel. The Elton John of this period had a distinctive piano driven sound (the typical piano intro on most songs) with orchestral support on many tracks (title track is a showcase for this formula). But, it's the perfect union of John's music and Bernie Taupin's lyrics make this record so well. And, even though it's not always showcased; the back-up musicians including drummer Nigel Olsen are all first rate. Other stand out tracks include "Razor Face", "Rotten Peaches" and "All the Nasties". The CD I am listening to is the re-mastered version which has an excellent sound upgrade over the original.
+That said, the reason I felt it did not rate 5 stars was that one of the most enjoyable elements of their concerts was the banter between the three brothers, this is missing from the DVD.

+3. Now, Ozzy however has great music, and has worked with some fascinationg guitarists, bassists and Drummers, but this great music with his vocals that do not fit, just doesnt cut it. I admit Ozzy is a pretty good songwriter when it comes to lyrics, however only his musicians right the music. It should be obvious he knows nothing about writing music or keys, offkey vocals, cant play any instrument, almost ready to fall over on stage. Even when he was with the legendary sabbath, the man who started it all? Please, Dio has been doing music before Ozzy was even born. I admit Tony and Geezer along with Bill rocked, Ozzy was just an old school mate who sung badly with them, but they liked it. So the Sabbath players are maybe what started it, but not ozzy, he was just lucky to be able to sing with them. So this review will be hated and everything, but at least I have proof about this, yet im respecting his music minus vocals, thats why it gets 2 stars. Ozzy lovers at least know this man is immature as well as incredible silly, yet worked with great musicians. Thats all.

And fortunately, someone filmed it, so you can get as close as the mists of time will allow. Lou's playing for his peers in NYC, like Andy Warhol, and pulling out all the stops. The band, with Fernando Saunders on bass, and Robert Quine on Guitar, absolutely melts together, they're so tight. Lou was on an upswing here, having just released one of his best solo albums ever, THE BLUE MASK, and showing off what turned out to be his live sound for the next 15 years. In interviews, Lou called this "Adult Rock and Roll", but really, it could also be called punk jazz. Or maybe, it defies classification. However, if you love Lou Reed, and want to see him at work reproducing his best solo work of the 80s, then here you go. After seeing the show, you realize it's a loss to the history of rock, that more films of his live work from the 60s onward don't exist. So what is around, is all the more valuable.

Originally presented as a concert in Carnegie Hall in September of 1998, it has too many solos by too many different female theater stars for one show. It would be better if there was a thematic approach, interaction among the various celebs, perhaps try to stitch together a plot line, eh? Fewer singers singing two, three, or four number each would be better than a seemingly endless parade of solos. They are all good, but there is a sameness that develops. There are eighteen or so female performers who sing twenty-two songs.

His singing voice is also powerful and pleasing to the ear. The songs themselves are all enjoyable. The fifth track, Satisfy Suzie, is particularly compelling. Live-Attack of the Killer V could be an outstanding cd. The single but great big problem with Live-Attack of the Killer V is that THE CD IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF REMASTERING. Such remastering would much more clearly accentuate and separate every note, tone, vocal, and guitar part in each and every song so that the listener would be riveted to the music while the cd is playing. As it currently stands, without remastering, all parts of each song on Live-Attack of the Killer V sound fuzzy, far away, and not clearly separated from one another. Hence the cd ends up being a disappointment that could sound so much better.

His voice isn't the greatest, the songs aren't the most memorable. But songs like "Listen To The World",  "If You Gotta Break Another Heart", "Brand New Day", "Anyone In The Audience" and "For The Peace Of All Mankind" have the soul of an emerging poet with something to say. "All I Need Is The Air That I Breathe" has been made into a zillion re-makes. His is not the best but he is the author and gives a good version. "It Never Rains In Southern California" remains one of those great am radio songs from the early seventies. However, the song I most like is "Names, Tags, Numbers & Labels". I bought the CD mostly for this song. I hadn't heard it in twenty years but remembered how I played that eight track over and over to hear this one. It hits hard and true and with real American poetry. If I were a singer this is one of those songs I would sing again and again.

+8030	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This disc is a very good one for the purpose it serves. What is that purpose? A Renaissance survey of sorts. Many perennial favorites are included - Palestrina's Sicut Cervus, Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus, Victoria's O  Magnum Mysterium, Josquin's Ave Maria, Tallis' If ye love me, just to name  a few. These are Renaissance workhorses, and for good reason - not only are  they textbook examples of the Renaissance idiom, they are of a beauty and  warmth which conceals astounding technical skill. A wide range of works are  presented, from Josquin to Schutz (who is, I think, most often considered a  Baroque composer); the disc, then, provides a wide reaching collection. The  choir, which is rather large (at least from my perspective) is of good  quality. The size, for the most part, does not prevent clarity of  presentation (although I think some of the works such as Ave Maria and If  ye love me, among others, are really best sung with one voice per part -  even in a skilled choir size serves to obscure the part-writing, and  furthermore the musical objective of many of these pieces is intimacy).  Their tone is good, generally well focused, although sometimes lacking  warmth and smoothness. The color they produce is adequate (some of these  pieces really, as I said, require smaller forces to REALLY be heard - not  to mention that a choir of mixed male and female voices really cannot do  justice to the sonority of some of these pieces). The acoustic is not as  resonant as I'd like. Interpretations are also adequate, although tempos  are almost uniformly on the fast (or even what is to me the hurried) side  (Sicut Cervus and O Sacrum Convivium are examples of the problem). These  tempi serve to take from the music the sense of contemplation it deserves -  instead of allowing the music to speak through them it seems that the choir  is forcing the music to speak in a which it was not meant to. But all these  objections are minor ones in context - the scope of the recording is far  reaching enough that many of those things are to be expected. As I said,  this recording is a fine introduction to Renaissance music (it offers in  that way things that many other recordings like it cannot - the choice and  range of pieces is actually reasonable). Someone with listening experience  in Renaissance music should go for, possibly, Hilliard Ensemble recordings  of the Tallis and Josquin and Christ Church Cathedral recordings of the  Palestrina Sicut Cervus(just to name two groups). This disc will probably  be one you listen to often because of the uniform quality of the pieces -  again it does what it intends to very well. Some problems and issues of  taste should not deter.

He WANTED to be good, maybe he got lost,but he was NOT just being pretentious.  I grew up near Memphis some years behind Elvis, hearing the same music as he did over the airwaves.  Just as he introduced most white Americans to black music (which, trust me, was heard almost exclusively on BLACK stations unpatronized by most Sinatra- or hillbilly-loving listeners), he also brought these old-time gospel songs to his fans.  They were sung by popular gospel singers and quartets well-known in the Bible Belt.  This package of music is a rare look into the music of a certain time and place and you also get the Grammy-winning "How Great Thou Art" which brought a packed community center of fans who had come to hear "Heartbreak Hotel" to their feet at a 1972 concert I attended.  (He sung the last part of it a second time).  Give this one SIX stars.  Get educated; get inspired.  And just LOOK at the weird things that the "reviewer" who condemns Elvis' morals, reviews.  Then sneer.
+Unfortunately, Velvet Revolver is unlikely to achieve true immortal greatness, and that's because they decided to hire the wrong singer. Sure the band members are all good friends and support each other, but Scott Weiland is the weakest link by far. He no longer has the excuse of an incompetent band behind him, so his mediocrity sticks out all the more. He has always been one of rock's most overrated and inconsistent singers, as he still can't decide which grunge or classic rock vocalist he's trying to impersonate from verse to verse. Hence we get little more than his old monotonous semi-rapping, off-key yelling, and derivative blues-isms. And on this album's three ballads, Weiland isn't even remotely believable as a sensitive and emotional guy, dragging those tracks down into ruinous sappiness. Velvet Revolver has very nearly returned us to the greatest days of hard trashy rock, but their choice of singer is quite disappointing.
+Don Letts (who was there from the beginning...DJ as well as Big Audio Dynamite member) made 2 great films, "The Punk Rock Movie" which came out in the middle of the punk movement and the more recent "Punk: Attitude" which I'd recommend because he talked to the people who helped shape, influence and execute it.

"One Last Thrill" starts out with a scream in the background before Kennedy delivers the lyrics at 100 miles rate; it's a great piece of punk rock. It shows Kennedy has many different styles of vocals. It's also topped off by a trademark Slash solo. There's some great drumming and bass playing from Brent Fitz and Todd kerns on the song "Standing In The Sun", both Fitz and Kerns are part of slash's live band.

+"Uncle Meat" marks an important part in Zappa's history as it is the last record to feature the original Mothers in full swing ("Weasels Ripped My Flesh" and "Burnt Weeny Sandwich" were considered posthumous releases, as they were mostly comprised of outtakes, not new material). Also, it is the debut of Ruth Underwood on vibes (then Ruth Komanoff), who later became a featured member of Frank's ensembles into the mid-70's. In addition, it marked the first time that good ole Uncle Frank began breaking heavily into the realms of classical and jazz, while still retaining the heavy rythmn and blues and doo wop styles of the earlier records. Lyrically, this album is dense and full of inside jokes and references, sandwiched in between passages graced with trumpets, clarinets, and saxophones. As Frank himself states in the liner notes on the double LP gatefold, this is primarily an instrumental record and meant to serve as a soundtrack to a movie that The Mothers had not yet acquired the money to finish. Although I've never seen the film, I'm sure it is as just as surreal, dense, and off-kilter as the music heard on the album.

+4619	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I say "Hey thirty-nine" because the girl immortalized in the song "Hey Nineteen" would be 39 when this album was released, in the year 2000. (I wonder if she ever figured out who 'Retha Franklin is.) But by no means does the music sound aged. It is fresh and alive, even though I will admit that when I first heard it - jazzy, funky, with insidious horns and sudden, odd chord progressions - I felt as if I were back in my French Quarter apartment with my bosom buddy and partner in crime Paula, in the mid-70's to early 80's, once again receiving data from the avatars of intellectual head music. Few artists can do basically what they were doing 20 years before and make it sound relevant, but Fagen & Becker have done so.
+The duo's trademark irony, humor and  musical playfulness are all intact. They're the same men, with the same  jaded views but with the added impression of years. Cousin Dupree shows the  band continuing their offbeat view on lust (to say the least since it's  about kissing cousins). It's a companion piece of sorts to Hey Nineteen.  Men dabbling in something they shouldn't be but are anyway. Gaslighting  Abbey, Negative Girl and West of Hollywood are other stand out tracks.  Gaslightling Abbey inparticular has an odd lilting melody that immediately  captures your attention.
+8851	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is one of Zappa's true monsters, a great, ambitious album that is one of his masterworks.  It's arguably the most complex album he ever did, especially in musical terms.  Many of the themes on this album were revamped for orchestra years later (like on Zappa's last classical album, The Yellow Shark), which shows you the great complexity of this work.  This album was actually a soundtrack for a film that took years for Frank to complete, but more on that later.
+The film raises a number of fairly obvious and important questions.  Should a network be permitted to hand over a live feed to terrorists, for any reason?  What would the government do in such a case of nuclear blackmail?  Would we stick to our policy of never dealing with terrorists, even if it meant the destruction of a major American city?  Would the government undertake the logistical nightmare of evacuating such a large city?  At one point, the network hosts even get in to a debate with the terrorists themselves about the influence of the media on something like this.
+All in all, if you like hard rock, I would recommend this cd. I would also recommend Guns N' Roses's "Appetite for Destruction." I think Slash, Duff, and Matt still should have stayed with Axl. I think they played better in Guns N' Roses, but their still awesome in Velvet Revolver. Hope this review was helpful to you.

+6056	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	If I could recommend anyone a great introduction to the best in mid 70's jazz-funk music than this would be one of the first albums I'd mention. Reason is that throughout this album it not only provides an fine example of that genre of music but The Crusaders' ability to cover a very wide field of textures,melodies,harmonic variations and musicianship while still maintaining a sound that was very distinctly there's. This is an aspect of a sound you'd hear on all the Steely Dan albums of the period along with soon-to-be up and comers Stuff. Across these ten songs you have Joe,Wilton,Stix,Larry and everyone else involved just sinking as deep into the grooves as deep as they can and letting the music flow through like pure liquid sound. That slippery,yet at the same time driving sound is present on the open tune 'Creole" with it's flowing Moog synthesizer textures while at the same time "Hallucinate" offers up a similar flavor with Stix adding a special touch on cymbals and one other thing I'll go into more detail about. On this song and most others on this album Joe Sample's use of Fender Rhodes provides a key element to the sound. The Rhodes was a key ingredient in this genre on a general level and most everyone who used it in this context ended up expanding the range of the music by using it. That made it very interesting I'm sure for the many detractors of the instrument who critisized it for years for having a rigid and inflexible tone. Because of funk's rhythmic complications it really allowed the instrument to take flight and this album is a fine example of that overall. The title track,the dancable "Mellow Out" and the in the pocket funk of "Give It Up","Hot's It" and "Sugar Cane" are all grooves,each just allowing these guys to be themselves and showcase their musical personalities in a vital and entertaining way. On "I Felt The Love","Rainbow Visions" and "Soul Caravan" we begin dealing with tunes with a somewhat lusher,lower tempo to the grooves and allows for the funk (a slower music by definition) to get a little more hot n' humid in addition to some of the clever and pretty improvisational approch to the keyboards. Sample was always influenced by early ragtime players like Scott Joplin and in some ways some of that shows up in a more contemporary funk context;not to mention that influence adds to the funk on it's own anyway. From the first tune to the last this album is the equivilant of pouring solid funk into a a kettle,heating it up and then just letting that hot melted sound flow out. There's no way to overstate the liquid quality of this music and that's a big part of the special place it holds.
+As I said, it is an excellent video. Each song is great and watching the band play is always a treat. The behind the scenes parts are simply little tidbits of stuff Ozzy does while not on stage. Some are actually quite funny. A good thing about this video is that they keep most of Ozzy's between songs talking. Its not much but its still cool.

The entire album is fluid from front to back so it's hard to pick favorite tracks but I guess Cletus Awreetus Awrightus and the title track are my favorite two.  This is a great disc to listen to late at night, with the lights low or out.  The percussion floats in space, as do the horns.  I can still get lost in the cymbals and the overall ambience.  It's biggest fault is that it was too short but at the time, Frank kept his LP sides short in order to improve dynamics and reduce crosstalk on vinyl.  Too bad he didn't extend this to a 2-LP set.
+The standout here is Little House I Used To Live In, 18:41 of mercurial magic that builds and builds, constantly switching gears, instruments, moods, and time signatures.  The piece is a showcase for Ian Underwood and Don "Sugar Cane" Harris, whose virtuoso fiddling also appears on Hot Rats and Weasels Ripped My Flesh.  Underwood, a musical prodigy, plays at a level of sophistication more at home in Carnegie Hall than in the dreadful arenas frequented by rock groups.  His expressiveness and versatility are spellbinding.  As is often the case with Zappa's better work, Little House I Used To Live In is a "movie for your ears," it seems to suggest a gallery of pictures you alone can provide.  All other tracks are also orchestral and, though not as dazzling as Little House I Used To Live In, deliver the freight to the right address.  Highly recommended because it's so darn tasty.
+When the SACD version came out, at a price that I could stand to pay, I went ahead and snapped it up.  It had been a goal for sometime to get a copy in the surround format, and now it is under 50 dollars, and I can lie to my wife and get away with how much it cost.

The orchestral performance is a highlight in these recordings, creating a full and festive sound most fitting for these concertos.  All-in-all, the CD here a good example of period Baroque playing and a decent bargin, but there are many other fine choices as well.

+9305	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	If you are a Frank Zappa fan and you don't have this CD you are really missing out.  This live recording shows how Frank was evolving away from the type of music the he made with Mothers Of Invention and moving more toward the style of music that introduced us to such classics as Apostrophe and Overnite Sensation. On this he teams up with George Duke on Keyboards, Napolean Murphy Brock on Sax and the talented Ruth Underwood on marimba and Percussion.  I saw Frank live a lot during this transitional period and I loved those shows.  They were so unpredictable.  You can hear that on this CD.  Cheapnis is amazing.
+7909	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Ray Brown has many great contributions to jazz as a leader and a sideman, but one additional way in which he helped jazz was his encouraging Gene Harris to give up his early retirement and go back out on the road. The pianist was a part of Brown's groups for several years before he formed a working quartet and became a leader for good once again. This 1988 concert at a since-defunct Santa Monica night club (co-owned by Brown) finds the two, along with drummer Jeff Hamilton, at the top of their game. A phone ringing in the background distracts momentarily from Brown's opening solo in his composition "The Real Blues," during which Harris repeats a bluesy tremolo, which may be an inside joke about the early distraction. Harris take a blues-drenched approach to "Mona Lisa" before giving way to the leader's solo, while his lyrical approach to "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" is shimmering. Hamilton's soft brushes are prominent in "Little Darlin'," but his explosive playing provides a powerful pulse to the very unusual strutting take of "It Don't Mean a Thing." This extremely satisfying CD is warmly recommended.
+At times it may seem that the younger touring musicians are more "into it" than the band, but then Pink Floyd has always been more reserved than some. The Floyd members show their passion in subtler ways. If anybody in the band has a tendency to be visibly animated, surprisingly enough (or is it?) it's the softspoken keyboardist Richard Wright, who reacts very clearly to the music.

First, before I go on and describe how terrible the  music on the album is, I will elaborate on why this was the best sell out  in the history of music. Not the history of rock and roll, not the history  of jazz or blues. But yes, the history of music itself. First of all,  Carlos is credited for writing three songs. Smart move Santana, lets get a  bunch of modern rock stars to come and make an album for me, so I can sell  millions of records. Absolutely ingenious. Supernatural should instead be  called "Santana plays guitar with modern rock stars".

+Now, album sales really don't indicate anything because today's platinum artist could be tomorrows has-been.  Critical success really doesn't mean much either because there's the abundance of favorable reviews directed towards bands who's only qualification of getting a good review is that they fit into the publication's target demographic.  But to see how this album influenced fans and peers alike shows that the group did something right with regards to releasing this endeavor.
+Second, because  the songs themselves are as wicked and sly lyrically as any classic Dan,  but suggest at the same time a certain middle-aged wistfullness and regret  which I find quite engaging.

+1070	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	The Transformed Man is an ego trip of intergalactic dimensions, a pompous "concept album" containing Shatner's "dramatic readings" of song lyrics and passages from poems and classic plays, all set to bombastic music.  Cuts are sequenced in pairs, to reflect opposite perspectives on the same subject (and to demonstrate Shatner's dazzling thespian range).  The passage from "Cyrano" illustrating self-reliance is paired with Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man", interpreted by Shatner as an anguished plea to his guru not to abandon him (MR. TAMBOURINE MAAAAAAN!!! he bellows, in the identical line reading he used for his famous riposte from Star Trek II: "KHAAAAAAN!!!").  Romeo's declaration of innocent love is tied to "How Insensitive", in which our Space Cowboy feels a twinge of guilt upon dumping his latest lover (knowing Captain Kirk, he'll rebound quickly).  The depressing "Spleen" is followed by the "super elation" of Shatner's infamous evisceration of "Lucy!...IN! The Sky!...WITH DIAMOOOONDS!!!!".  He sounds like Regis Philbin on LSD.  For all of Shatner's self-proclaimed versatility, every cut follows the same pattern: he begins in a groggy, halting delivery, as if he'd just swallowed a whole bottle of Nytol...then gradually works up a head of steam, until at last, he's howling his lines at a volume that could raise an echo on the moon.  While "Tambourine Man" and "Lucy" are unarguably two of the looniest records ever unleashed, the coveted Hubris Award goes to the duo "Hamlet"/"It Was a Very Good Year", in which Shatner pummels both the greatest soliloquy in the English language (Shakespeare's "To....be...Or! Not!...TO BEEE!") and a signature song of the greatest pop singer of the twentieth century, Frank Sinatra.  Even Jack Benny couldn't put this much Ham into Hamlet!  As for Sinatra: Shatner did Ol' Blue Eyes no permanent damage, but he might cause the listener to bust a gut.  It's just a shame he didn't also read Macbeth, since it would provide the perfect review of this album: "A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage.  A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

+9992	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	A good number of oldies are present covering the start of the decade of radio and the creation of big band, which would evolve into swing in the 30s and easy listening in the 40s. You can see through this collection how the music changed from simple brass band arrangements and duets, to full orchestras consisting of strings and woodwind, and much more variety was added. Of course, the 20s bands were distinguishable by there heavy use of brass instruments, and kind of a jumpy beat. Its old, but it still sounds good, and you can see that the music reflected a culture that just wanted to have fun and enjoy living life for what it was, rather than doing work and going to war. The 20s were a time of economic prosperity and prohibition, which was well reflected in the newly introduced music. Many new artists emerged like Paul Whiteman, Fred Astaire, Eddie Cantor, and Rudy Valee to name a few. Of course, it is indeed missing many good songs like Ain't She Sweet, The Charleston (Which was the biggest dance craze of the decade), and Five Foot Two. The Coon orchestra isn't in this compilation, which is a shame since they spawned some of the biggest hits of the 20s. Another thing I noticed is that each CD only contains 10 songs each which clock in at around 30 minutes per CD, when CDs can hold over an hour, which this collection could have been reduced to two CDs. Or they could have included a ton more songs in this collection. Still a good collection but it could have included a lot more since most 20s songs are either in the public domain or don't have strict copyright, so I wish they would have filled the CDs up better since there is so much unused space.

Slash, Myles Kennedy, and the band have made some really great music here.  It works on every level, and it's just well done in every way.  It hits on all cylinders--well-written songs, tremendous musicianship (Slash is at his inspired best, but this is truly a group effort), and a ton of energy and real passion.  Who said there's no great music being made these days?
+The interviews/making-of is quite insightful.  Who would have though that Flatly loses several pounds (of water/sweat) during each performance?

+BREATH CONTROL:  Kris has consistently flaunted a reggae  influence, long before it became hip to have a 'dj' chat over records.
+If you love both Judy Garland and Christmas, this is a great holiday video you can enjoy every year.  If you're not a Judy Garland fan, you most likely won't enjoy the show.  Several of the songs really have little to do with Christmas, some of the children's dialogue is rather wooden (they're just kids, of course), Joe's solo can be rather frightening, and even Judy and Jack Jones miss a word or two along the way.  As I said, this makes it all the more charming to me, but a non-Judy fan might think otherwise.  On a final note, let me say that I am happy that the world can get a glimpse of Judy and her kids all together in this special show; the obvious love and affection she has for Joe, Lorna, and Liza do much to dispel the negative impression some people today may have of Judy Garland due to all of the troubles she battled throughout her adult years.  Do, as Judy says, consider yourself part of the family and make The Judy Garland Christmas Show a holiday tradition in your own household.
+"Pretty Maids All In A Row" is somewhat reminiscent of Joe Walsh's work on his first (and best) solo album, 1973's Barnstorm. "Pretty Maids," like most of Barnstorm, is a nice deviation from Walsh's more well-known guitar rave-ups. It was written with Barnstorm-mate Joe Vitale, and has a dreamy, richly-textured production, utilizing piano (Walsh) and synthesizer (Walsh & Glenn Frey). It also has some nice percussion work from Henley and, as usual, heavenly background harmonies.

+932	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This album compelety took me by suprise. I heard no resemblence to GN'R or The Pilots at all, save for on their latest single "Slither". Now this isn't a bad thing at all, because as many have already pointed out, who wants a re-hash of old bands over again. The downpoints are that to these ears, Weiland's voice has become somewhat weak compared his early work with the Pilots, but this "new" vocal style he has definitely works better to produce the modern and new sound the band has. The one thing that is still present, thankfully, is Slash's excellent ear shredding solos. A perfect picture of this album is like Godsmack clashing with the Roses. The guitar is definitley heavier and more down tuned than on most Roses and Pilots songs but you still have those great solos that were standard with the Roses cuts. Its basically 80's metal updated. Anywayas a great record for those who love to rock hard but don't go in with any certain expectation except to rock out!

+My initial impression on first listening was that "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "Joan of Arc" (duet with Leonard Cohen) were the album's peak moments.  Time has not diminished that belief.  But the program overall is brilliant as are the performances and production.  Jennifer Warnes' vocals do these songs justice.

And he was the driving force in the early days (when the only hit they had was Lady).  If it wasn't for Dennis, I suspect Tommy wouldn't even be in the band!  And JY just might be "flipping burgers" to borrow an expression from another review.  They kicked him out of the band, so I'd say they're the one's with the egos, and now they play bars and fairs.  This is a reminder of what Styx WAS, and I think they made a huge mistake kicking him out: for better or for worse, cheesy factors and all- he was the leader and defining character of the band- and this shows it.

H is third and a song that goes from light to jeavy in its minute span. 46 andTwo is next, one of their best known song and a favorite of mine. Hooker with a penis is a song that tells critics that they did not sell out. Jimmy is a song that he wrote for his son on how he keeps him grounded to the earth. And Aenima, a no holds barred song about peoples deadly sin of pride in Los Angeles and how people are so stuck up with themselves.

+1097	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Retrospective contains all of the Animals' Billboard Top 40 hits from "House of the Rising Sun" to "Sky Pilot", and even contains an extra track,"Spill the Wine", Eric Bourdon's first hit with the group War.  (Although I really don't understand this song, it was a major hit reaching #3 in 1970 on the Billboard Top 40.)  It also includes a number of extras that did not make the U.S. Billboard Top 40, but are very good songs, such as "Baby Let Me Take You Home", "Anything", and "White Houses".  There are 22 tracks in all, and they are on a single CD, which I like.  Also, there are no live cuts which, to me, are inferior to the studio cuts which, fortunately, are on this CD.  The only comment I have is I would like to have seen "Good Times" included, a song with a real message, but nothing is "perfect".  Overall, this is an excellent CD that would be my first choice for anyone who is or was a fan of the Animals.
+In the review I wrote on THE HOLLIES ("Clarke, Hicks & Nash"), I said "Some of us (including me) may have been missing the boat here."  Well, I have to admit it's also happened with THE ZOMBIES.  Other bands of the period have released good things (THE SEARCHERS come to mind) but THE ZOMBIES were consistently good-sometimes brilliant.  They had the songs, those great vocals, and that certain way of putting their songs across.

With the exception of "Everytime I Fall" (I will get to that later) this CD then takes a *SLIGHT* change - many of the songs tend to resemble those on her debut CD - such as "He's My Savior" and "Adore".

+"One Night in Eden" presents us with a lavish staging that is full of dark atmosphere, especially in the opening numbers, complete with hooded dancers and gothic costumes. The selection of songs was excellent, combining the best of Sarah's works in recent years. I particularly enjoyed the selections from "Dive" as Sarah rarely performs her early albums. The sound and picture quality were both crystal clear, with sharp colours and good sound mixing (unlike some issues with the Sarah Brightman La Luna VHS). If you are already a Sarah Brightman fan or are just starting out, "One Night In Eden" is a wonderful concert with many memorable moments, and a look at Sarah Brightman's beautiful soprano voice and her ability to easily perform both classical and pop.

+9757	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	I was inspired to check this album out because I heard that it was the biggest influence on the sound and style of Nine Inch Nails' classic album "The Downward Spiral", and I expected it to be extremely awesome. But instead, it was a let down for me. I mean, there were some good songs on it, such as Sound and Vision (the album's only single), but the rest of it didn't really meet my expectations. Plus there were too many instrumentals on it! To be honest though, I'm not really a hardcore Bowie fan, so I'm not really sure how often instrumentals show up on his albums, but (I guess in the eyes of just a casual fan) when you compare it to another of his LPs, such as his classic "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars", it's really lacking. I'm sorry, but I just can't recommend it. I'm hoping to check out "Scary Monsters" in the future, which from what I understand also had an influence on NIN, and I hope that won't disappoint me like this one did.

+4781	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	As far as tribute concerts go, this Bob Marley tribute is great. I thoroughly enjoyed most of the performers but some seemed out of place. Veteran  female rocker Chrissy Hynde still looked svelte in her black jeans but the now granny aged rocker seemed to be forcing her best skank movements. The inclusion of American rappers is appealing but the connection gets lost in the fiery rhetoric delivered rap style. When the lovely Lauryn Hill comes on stage and turns sideways she practically dissapears but her charismatic presence glows in spite of her anorexic looking condition. She delivers several memorable interpretations of Bob Marley. Busta Rhymes was fabulous in spite of the fact I didn't understand one word he sang of a familiar Marley tune. All the Marley children were marvelous and more(none) time should have been featuring Kymani who is only shown in the "extra" footage. Toots of the Maytals looked robust and still  able to carry a James Brown like image about himself; his performance was classy soul and he is the godfather of reggae soul. Jimmy Cliff looked very much the aging reggae star now sporting a bald look rather than a head of hair from his "The Harder They Come" days; his performance was succint and lacking fire but still good in a mellow sort of way. Queen(of what?) Latifah and Tracy Chapman were ok but wouldn't you just love to see them on an edition of celebrity boxing? May the best man, er, woman win. Anyway the musical homage was moving but the choice of artists was eclectic to say the least.  The quality of performance is inspired and a fitting tribute. Rita Marley and the I-Threes were stoic as usual and consistently solid. Definetly a mesmerizing experience and a bit like a freak show. The image of Bob Marley smiling on the video screen was awesome, his presence was felt and it seemed as though he were smiling upon the festivities. It was fantantic seeing all the Marley's performing. Recommended for the crossover generation, both young and old or those whose image of Marley's music cannot be tarnished.

I wanted to know more about this great talent besides "The Wizard of Oz." This was before VCR's,so I had to look in the TV guide to see if any of her movie's were showing. I couldn't find anything usually. Then a week before Christmas I was sleeping on the couch,and "Judy Garlands Christmas Special" was on. What a Wonderfull Christmas Gift. Its fantastic to see all of Judy's children together,singing,dancing,and having a ball. My Favorite part is when Judy sings "The Christmas Song," with Mel Torme,the writer of the song,and she makes a mistake,and Mel says,"Close."This is the first time Judy sang,"Over the Rainbow," on her show. You can really see the love she had for her children. This video is a must buy for all of Judy Garland's fan's.

+"I hope you're satisfied with what you've done." That opening line sets the tone of "Uncomplicated," and the oncoming barrage for the album. EC unleashes wave after wave of vitriol backed by The Attractions' and Lowe's artful distortion. The distorted sound matches the emotional content of many of the songs, and one of Elvis' most brilliant performances of all time is here. On "I Want You," he drags you into a hellish confrontation that moves at half the album's general pace. With more than a passing nod to John Lennon and The Beatles' song of the same name, Elvis vents with derisive passion, till the sounds slowly drop away and with little more than the sound of him deeply breathing the title over and over, the song comes to a close.
+3476	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	This is hardcore pop in its truest form, at the same level as is all this Backstreet Boys/N Sync/Britney Spears/Ricky Martin/Sisqo/Blink 182/Celine Dion/Christina Aguilera/Shaggy/Lil'Bow Wow/I can go on forever ...! I don't understand why this "remarkable" guitarist could aim at such a generation who listens to Backstreet Boys or N Sync (oh, dear!); I figure he must have mistargeted to the commercial mainstream instead of making a memorable record. As one of those people who absolutely detests acclaimed artists who get so wound up in their popularity, they screw their own lives up (i.e., Wacko Jacko) and the commercial state in which America (the so-called "land of the free and the home of the brave") is now, I wonder how all of a sudden music could become so like this? Santana is a remarkable guitarist but I think on his next album he should return to his roots instead of doing stuff like this that the public will just ... down only to get sick of later. PLEASE listen to some REAL Santana such as his first three albums and you'll sooner or later see this album's lack of "landmark"!
+9945	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Changesbowie is an intelligent compilation of his greatest hits up to and including his Tonight album, whence comes Blue Jean. All of this music has aged well, from 1969's Space Oddity, through the glam rock (Jean Genie/Rebel Rebel) and plastic soul (Young Americans/Fame) periods to his return to rock (Ashes To Ashes) and exploration of sleek dance-pop (Let's Dance). One could question some of the exclusions -  Life On Mars would perhaps have been a better choice than Changes, while China Girl and Modern Love, although huge hits, don't represent the best in his work and I would have preferred Wild Is The Wind or Word On A Wing from the Station To Station album. But in this sort of compilation, commercial success and chart position weigh the heaviest. More inexplicable is the omission of Sorrow, a huge hit in 1973. My favorite sequence on this album is the one from Jean Genie through the 10 songs that follow, up to and including Fashion. Among these, "Genie", Life On Mars, Diamond Dogs and Rebel Rebel are blistering slices of rock, Young Americans, Fame and Fashion lean towards dance/funk, Golden Years and Ashes to Ashes are soulful pop and the last two, Heroes and Sound And Vision, date from his synth period. This 11-song sequence represents the core of his genius on this album and is enough to award the album 5 stars.

+Pure Zappa's extravaganza. In the melody, harmony and orchestration. It starts weird and ends weirder. If you are not accustomed to strange harmonies and melodies this one can shock you a little bit. Anyway Zappa's awkward but splendid sense of melody and atmospheres is very clear here. The tune swings slow like a broken toy, or a broken watch ... at a certain point there are dissonations going on, you may think you don't know were you are, then a siren shout! These moments of entropy, of chaos are sublime, I swear, sublime. The drums is still alive behind, giving the pulse, confirming that the tune is not dead yet. Slowly we go on, following the trombone and the trumbet which are saying strange things, than the tune accelerate, you are completly disorientated .... than a genial absolutly genial orchestrated bridge part arrive!! I mean this is Zappa at his very weird best. Another crescendo! The tune comes to the end. Frank you did your VERY VERY best for sure in this album.
+This video is only about 55 minutes long, unfortunately; I wish it were longer.  As far as the songs, Liza sings two or three on her own, the highlight of which is, in my opinion, "It's Just a Matter of Time," and both she and Judy team up for a number of wonderful duets.  Judy herself sings several songs of her own, beginning with a powerful performance of "Once in a Lifetime" and including such favorites as "The Man That Got Away," "San Francisco," and, of course, "Over the Rainbow."  This is a particularly interesting version of "Over the Rainbow" in that Judy encourages the audience to sing with her and actually stops and listens while they sing parts of the song.

+Amor Celeste and Amor Terreno are battling for the heart and soul of Maddalena. It opens with Fink's stunning Amor Terreno, seductive enough to capture the heart of a stone. In trying to win Maddalena, her ornamentations paint vivid pictures of "drunk with pleasure".

You can't take sides at their declaration of war, the duet Alle vittorie, because both are convincing - and their voices blend perfectly. The sheer strength of Scholl's voice in this piece brushes aside the familiar accusations of "too ethereal".

The lack of special features does not bother me, all I wanted was the concert anyway, but there have been numerous cuts made that are somewhat bothersome.  Most notable are: One of the solos from "Heaven and Hell," which has been totally cut, "Magic Bus," severly trimmed down, "Eyesight to the Blind (the Hawker)" and "Go to the Mirror," two great songs, which have been so badly cut apart that there is hardly anything left.  Another point is that tommy has been taken from it's rightful place in the middle of the show and placed at the end.  I would have much rather have seen the concert in it's original state.  Finally, there are many points in the concert when it can be plainly seen that some footage has been recycled from other parts of the show.  Those little gripes aside, this is, as I said, a brilliant show and, even though there are some problems, everybody should own this.  The four stars has nothing to do with The Who in any way.

+2025	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	My negative comments are directed at DVD quality and not the music and / or artist's performance. This original concert shoot (I gather) is an early 1990s analog recording that's been since remastered. Regardless of the claimed digital processing; warning TO ALL with a large screen (55" and up 1080p 120 / 240Hz, or 4K) .. consider paying extra for the Blu-ray as the picture on this version totally blows. I have a new OPPO BDP-103 Disc Player and 2014 75" Samsung 1080p 120Hz ... so it's not my equipment. The picture is consistently grainy, blurred, and with streaky colors. It's so bad I'm going to order the Blu-Ray. Undoubtedly, Gabriel is absolutely the LAST musician / performer you want to experience being distracted by intolerable DVD quality. :-(

Sometimes the album gives an opportunity to concentrate on the music and lyrics, without the distraction of all the activity on stage. This time, in addition to mentally recreating the show, the variety of Elton John's music shines through. I had been waiting for a NY cast recording, but it was not to be, so we miss Gregory Jbara as Dad, who was wonderful in NY. As an aside, I recommend Sir Elton's "Aida", an underappreciated gem.

+Here, Frank sings some of his more famous numbers (and favorites of mine) such as "I've Got You Under My Skin," "I Get A Kick Out Of You," "My Kind Of Town," "Come Fly With Me," "Witchcraft," and "The Lady Is A Tramp."

+Under Rene Jacob's expert guidance the singers and the instrumental group provide fluent and expressive performances.  Kiehr has a lovely clear voice and converts Maddlena's emotions with much feeling.  Fink's final aria'"Voi del Tartaro"(You, O Horrible Caves of Tartarus) is brilliantly defiant, while Dominguez is quite effective as Martha.  Andreas Scholl sings in his usual skillful manner, not quite as celestial as I would prefer, but always with strength and security of sound.  Gerd Turk as Cristo (an all too-brief role) has such an excellent resonant sound; I really love his overall vocal quality.

+4735	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	A mediocre SD album is still always better than an album of whatever pop or R&B clone whose name I cannot remember, but this current disc of SD brings up thoughts on what we can do to make the next one better. I do have  a few suggestions: Add Larry Carlton as the 3rd permanent member of Steely  Dan; Keep Walter Becker's guitar playing restricted to rhythm parts; Hire a  real bass player; Give the drummers some air that the grooves become deeper  and more intense; Hire the same horn section (they are doing an excellent  job on this album) and hire Gary Katz and Genji Siraisi as producers for  the next album that we are hopefully more thrilled the next time an SD  album comes out.  It is all just too sterile now in a way that I can only  categorize it as being excellent car music.
+9494	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	If John Lennon deserves any credit at all for his assault on the ears of his fans with an avante-garde (that's French for 'pretentious garbage') work devoid of any aesthetic value, it's for his having had the courage to release what he thought at the time was 'art' in the knowledge that it would be universally panned. And panned it deserved to be. This should have remained a personal fun project between him and Yoko that stayed in the bedroom and never saw the light of day. If I were ever forced at gunpoint to listen to either this album again or Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, I'd go for Lou's monstrosity any day. Yes, it's that bad.
+I wouldn't offer this to those not familiar with Steely Dan as there is better stuff out there. Afterall this is a 4 star album compared to Steely's usual 5 star sound, but it is not to be overlooked. Worth the buy for those of us who love Steely Dan.

+I remember that the only tracks that really made an impression on me were "Shabby Doll" and "Long Honeymoon". I still think well of "Shabby Doll", while "Long Honeymoon" has not lasted for me. On the other hand, there are a handful among the other songs that stand out positively. "The Loved Ones" is a catchy song that well could have stemmed from Costello's perhaps best album "Armed Forces". The same description could fit "Little Savage" which probably is my favorite track on the album.
+The Hollies
+But not Zappa. The reason, I think, is that Zappa didn't just make music. He WAS music. Like Picasso, Fassbinder and Miles Davis, Zappa is one of the very few artists who's art is impossible to separate from the man and vice versa. Nothing in this world could ever stop this man from making music. If he had been blown out to outer space or separated from the world on a desolated island, he would still have been making music. Should you have any doubt about that, listen to the "Lather" album.  It's creative waterfall of inventiveness, ecclectism and stunning performances stands unsurpassed in the history of rock music.
+6973	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This was a good CD but not a great one.  There were many good bluegrass songs and some country radio oriented songs.  This CD was the beginning of her full-fledged transition to a country artist as opposed to a bluegrass artist.  While the material is strong it seems inconsistent in its angle.  It seems like she wants to appeal to the country radio crowd while not alienating the bluegrass crowd - an impossibility in most cases.  And I believe the waffling is a detriment to the CD.
+Creeping Death
+If you love Bill Hicks, then you will love this album.  If you are now just learning about this brilliant comic, then I recommend purchasing "Rant in E-Minor" first, because that was the one I bought first, and it really hooked me in to buying the others.  Bill is a genius who is dearly missed by all.  I wish there were more like him.  But, it's up to us now to make sure that his name lives on.

+Despite the constant tone, "Repetition" is a song on spousal abuse, where Johnny hits his wife because she can't cook.  Regrets of his lack of proper education and not marrying a girl named Anne come through.  Some chilling lyrics:  "I guess the bruises won't show if she wears long sleeves."

+4476	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This 90 minute DVD (or VHS) is a great look at the "old Metallica", before they began to slide in 1996, with the release of the mediocre "Load" album. I actually purchased this tape during the "ReLoad" era, and was blown away by the raw energy of their early live shows, and Cliff Burton's "Hendrix-style" bass pyro-technics. The tracks "Creeping Death", "Fade to Black", "Sanitarium", and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" are worth the $20 alone you will pay for this collection. The other tunes are recorded a bit less professionally, but the sound quality is decent. "Dave Mustaine (former-Megadeth)" is featured on lead guitar on one song, and Cliff Burton's 2nd gig ever is captured on film as well. If you love the recordings "Kill 'Em All", "Ride the Lightning", "Master of Puppets", and "Garage Days 1984", then this rare glimpse of early Metallica is a great purchase. Hey, also check out
+This particular concert takes place in the cozy environment of a small round theater appointed with comfortable couches and soothing lighting.  As always, Joni's performance is sublime, with vocals that go straight to your soul, and she's a fabulous guitarist to boot.  Her set selection covers the spectrum of her career, and she prefaces many of the songs with comments which add nicely to their context.  As one would expect, her supporting band is top notch, and I hope they appreciate how fortunate they are to be able to work with her.
+333	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	happy with item
+Yes, it contains the commercial hits "Tiny Dancer" and "Levon" but unlike some of Elton's late 70s albums, this one goes a bit deeper than that. The title track is a haunting epic that evokes frightening images while leaving a melody in your head that urges to sing along. "All the Nasties" and "Goodbye" also stand out as favorites, but as a whole this album works better than any other EJ recording.

+The Mandolin and Guitars of "Indian Sunset" are fantastically clear and that Ecclesia Choir (conducted by Robert Kirby) sails into your room too. You forget how good "Holiday Inn" is with backing vocals from Leslie Duncan, Sue & Sunny, Barry St. John and Roger Cook (to name but a few). Chris Spedding provides Slide Guitar for "Rotten Peaches", Rick Wakeman of Yes plays Organ and that huge ensemble of Backing Vocalists kicks in again. You also 'feel' the sweet playing of Herbie Flowers on Bass (I hate to say he's a lovely bottom end but in the interests of art I will). The echoed vocal intro to "All The Nasties" suddenly feels huge too as does the Ecclesia Choir. It ends on the short but moving "Goodbye"  just Elton, his Piano and some tasteful string orchestration (the remaster is properly gorgeous)...
+I've always found the Fairports to be a bit deep (anti-shallow would be a better term) but Denny takes 'TNSGATR' to much murkier depths of moodiness and mystery. Each song has a beguiling darkness, and with Thompson in rich unison they take on an intoxication which almost induces light-headedness in the emotional listener.
+Or maybe I'm just losing (more of) my mind.
+The second, mostly instrumental side of the vinyl "Low" begins with the eighth song on the CD, "Warszawa" (co-written by Eno) and lets it be known we're going somewhere else now. It sounds a bit classical and has David singing in a foreign tongue (of this world?) sounding like some strange new breed of children. "Art Decade" is like a stately glacier of music moving through your mind. "Weeping Wall" evokes a beautiful sadness before the lonely yet hopeful dark harmonies and weeping saxophone of "Subterraneans" closes the album. If the reason you love David Bowie is that he's willing to take chances and try new things then check this one out. If, on the other hand, you only enjoy the "Changes"/"Fame"/"Let's Dance" version of DB, this one might scare you. "Low" would have made the perfect soundtrack for the film he starred in at the time, the great "The Man Who Fell To Earth". Thanks for this gift, Mr. Bowie & Mr. Eno, and for inspiring me to make my own kind of music all these years.

+
+Both the Concerto and the Quintet were composed by Mozart for his clarinetist friend Anton Stadler. Johann Friedrich Schink, a writer who attended one of Stadler's performances, wrote, "My thanks to you, brave Virtuoso! I have never heard the like of what you contrived with your instrument. Never should I have thought that a clarinet would be capable of imitating a human voice so deceptively as it was imitated by you. Verily, your instrument has so soft and lovely a tone that nobody can resist it who has a heart..." These words could just as easily be used to describe David Shifrin's performance on this recording. Playing with a smooth, beautiful tone and with a technique that makes everything sound so fluid and natural, he is certainly the star of this recording. Chamber Music Northwest (of which Shifrin is also the music director) is so wonderfully expressive and crisp in the Quintet. The Mostly Mozart Orchestra is also very fine, but perhaps not quite so good as the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. In all, however, I have not heard a better rendition of Mozart's perfect compositions.

I own the other three Queen/Queen related DVDs that have been released the past three years (Wembley '86, Milton Keyes '82 and Return of the Champions). While this is a solid concert with a great setlist, the sound is nowhere near the quality of the other three Queen concerts. Personally, I think the volume in the crowd was turned way down so only the music could be heard during songs. But even if the crowd volume was cranked up, it was still a dead audience. Freddie and the band seemed to get frustrated with the silence as the concert went on, especially during Jailhouse Rock (Freddie: "COME ON, YOU F***ERS, MOVE IT!!!").

Tony Martin sounds awesome, just screaming and terrifying the listener with his haunting lyrics. Tony Iommi is here as Usual, playing his haunting notes that make the Sabbath sound.  Geezer, of course pummeling his bass, which here is more audible than on Dehumanizer, and Italian-American drummer Bobby Rondinelli pounding the kit and taking over where Vinnie Appice left off. And of course Geoff Nichols, with his synthesized notes that help to give this album it's dark atmosphere.  Cross Purposes is one of the best.  If you don't like it then I guess you must be a very stubborn snot.

The second part is just boring. Maybe it's my limit, but I think the love around this album is more nostalgia for many fans, and its importance in music history is just its experimental approach and sound which anticipate the eighties, not so much for the "songs" themselves.

+Even though he very rarely watches the Television Program or videos, our son knows and sings along to almost all of the songs - and so do my wife and I.  This CD is truly something the whole family can enjoy.  It also has educational benefits, having helped my child continue to develop his vocabulary.  I love hearing my son say - "What an absolutely marvelous wonderful word" from the beginning of the ABC song.  As soon as the first note of the Theme song begins, his face lights up, no matter what he was doing.  The song literally brings a smile to his face and chases the frowns away.  That in turn brings a smile to my face.  He giggles and laughs as he sings along to "Who Are the People In Your Neighborhood".  I even discovered him having a conversation with Ernie (in the speakers) when the "Rubber Duckie" song came on. And while I'm not a big fan of Elmo's voice, my two year old loves singing Elmo's Song.  There is something special about seeing your child enjoy the music you enjoyed as a child.

Sure, he was known for the more offbeat songs (Norweigan Wood, Tomorrow Never Knows, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, I am the Walrus, Strawberry Fields Forever) but THIS cannot even be CONSIDERED MUSIC! Twenty-four minutes of wailing followed by twenty-two minutes of screaming "John!" and "Yoko!" over and over again...could be the worst album ever.

+"Diamond Dogs" also works because, although the story is of  a bleak world, the whole thing is tongue-in-cheek.  Bowie doesn't take  himself all too seriously.  There are no overt jokes on the album, but the  whole things is set up as a show, as an act, and as such is somewhat  removed from some sort of genuine expression on Bowie's part.  Bowie  tackles some of the same themes more sincerely in future albums.  This  works in "Scary Monsters."  "Scream Like a Baby" is a more serious version  of "1984."  "Because You're Young" is similarly related to "We Are the  Dead."  "Fashion" and "Ashes to Ashes" carry essentially the same messages  as the "Sweet Thing/Candidate" combination.  It works either way, as long  as Bowie doesn't descend to very literal moralizing, as he does on "Tin  Machine."

Why? Because he created a diverse musical experience echoing everything from the Tin Pan Alley gaints to his British music idols (most notably The Beatles). It's technicolor production and sweeping lyrical themes make it one of the top 100 albums of all time. Imperial Bedroom along with This Year's Model, Armed Forces, Blood & Chocolate and King of America represent early Costello at his best; intelligent, witty and musical adept at adopting a number of musical styles.

+The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)
+Sound was pretty good and picture was very good.
+Hopefully, one day, a remastered, unadulterated, complete version of this landmark concert will be released.  Until then, this will have to do.
+The Chicago-inspired brass instrumental jam is quite professional indeed, and melodic enough.  The keyboard jam around the 4-minute mark is pretty melodic and reminiscent of the early 70's.  Overall, a great song despite some throwaway jazzy bits (and drumming) in between the brass and keyboard solos.  Nice guitar solo near the end, too.  A step down in terms of Zappa's normally more melodic and outrageous guitar style, however.  Small complaint!
+And for those who don't remember or weren't around ... well, the Eagles were probably at the creative peak on this album. The title track, "New Kid in Town," "Life in the Fast Lane," Victim of Love," "Try and Love Again" and "The Last Resort" all became FM radio rock standards, and in fact were so overplayed in the 1970s and 1980s that some fans (myself included) needed a long break. But there's no denying the talent on display here. Drummer/singer Don Henley was at his swaggering best. Bassist Randy Meisner's songwriting contribution ("Try and Love Again") was the best of his career. Glenn Frey, Henley's most frequent writing partner, was often overshadowed in the band, both instrumentally and vocally, but his wistful vocal on "New Kid in Town" and wicked Clavinet on "Fast Lane" were superb. Finally, the dual leads of guitarists Joe Walsh and Don Felder just shredded everything in their path.

+4405	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Though George Michael's major career output is well documented and encapsulated in the selection featured here, the true climax of the presentation occurs during the hour-long interview which originally aired on BBC television.  Coming right after his infamous public "outing", Michael is charming, funny, articulate and frank; but the magical moment happens when Michael takes a break from the interview to sing "A Different Corner."  In those few moments, George Michael miraculously distills a whole lifetime of performing - and living - experience into a masterfully sung and interpreted song of true poignancy and pathos.  The voice is more mellow, more resonant and simply more beautiful than ever. He breathes the very essence of the song's heartbreak with infinite skill and empathetic sagacity, of someone who's been there, and lived life - a lot.  His superior vocal technique is automatic, spontaneous; his way with the nuancing and phrasing instinctive, sure and born of a real artist.  Enjoy this collection for the different scenarios played out in the videos and imaginative song stylings, and don't forget to close off the video with the songs featured within the interview: it reveals the evolution of one of pop music's major talents.

+Oh well...I am also into vocal stuff, though I am not up to a "vocalist" yet at least I know the basics of vocal singing. I also went to vocal class audition in my university and realize that "vocalist world" is totally different from "normal ppl world", there are so many good singers out there, I know this is the truth. Vocally, if really have to compare, I know real operatic tenors like domingo, alfredo kraus, and bocelli's vocal teacher franco corelli (if I did not remember it wrong)have much better voice than bocelli, the difference is like a college level vocalist comparing with world class vocalist. But come on....andrea bocelli's stuff is NOT opera stuff, where operatic tenors are doing opera stuff, so there is no point and meaningless to compare them isn't it? And yes, maybe vocally college level students hv the same technique or better technique than him, but about inspiration, spirit, breath-taking "level"....I don't think a naive college level students cant be compared with a guy whose destiny is like either "tragedy or legend" (tragedy because he is blind, legend because he wins in his destiny). He really uses his heart to go over his music, u can feel his great passion and deep inside his heart throughout every note he sings, I think in this side even pavarotti is not as good as him in my opinion, and in fact pavarotti gave bocelli very positive comment about his singing. (I guess it is because of the reason that I said, bocelli's passion come out from his voice really take ur breath away and u cant resist, trust me. and u know, MUSIC is a gift given by nature, so hv a good inspiration and good use of the ability of oneself's voice is MUCH more important than simply having a good voice in singing, mastero pavarotti must hv realized this~ so again to somebody said sth I mentioned: go home and THINK once more about what the word MUSIC mean, I guess u guys must got blind of "caring singing technique" too much and forgot the origin of MUSIC.)

You will find 3 of the 4 best parts (sorry, no Izzy) of G 'N R in this band with Matt on Drums and Duff on Bass.  Duff also has his vocals where they belong - background/harmony.

+The colorization brings up both good and bad points: The clothing Judy, Frank and Dean wear is great to see in color. Unfortunately, however, as one reviewer points out, it does create the effect that their skin is either very heavily made-up or simply painted onto them! Disappointment! I wish they had left this in its original black and white format; black and white can be very special, too. In addition, there are times when Frank Sinatra sings and you get a slightly fuzzy blur at the very left edge of your screen. Twice you can see the microphones overhead. Nevertheless, these are no reasons to avoid this incomparable masterpiece by Judy, Frank and Dean because, in my opinion, entertainment just doesn't get any better than this.
+Tool's live show, as well, is incredible.  I would highly recommend anyone who enjoys a great live "experience" see them.

+The four numbers clock in at 33:15 and provide the musicians - Davis (tr), John Coltrane (sax), Philly Joe Jones (d), Red Garland (p) and Paul Chambers (b) - incredible room to move.  The classic is the majestic My Funny Valentine, with Blues by Five not far behind.

+This album is less country and more mainstream rock than anything the Eagles had done previously, mainly because Bernie Leadon had been replaced with hard rock veteran Joe Walsh (who provides the main riff to "Life In The Fast Lane", and plays a number of sizzling solos), and the three-guitar onslaught of Frey, Felder and Walsh have arena-rock heft. The sound is big and vibrant, and while "HC" could have used one or two up-tempo songs to "make up" for the numerous slow tunes, you really can't say anything bad about these eight selections.
+
+  After eighteen months of the revolving musicians shuffle and probably bunches of squabbles, the Eagles finally released "Hotel California" late summer in 1976. With guitarist Joe Walsh enlisted as a bona-fide member, the Eagles rock on with a much-improved album.

It starts with a nice introduction by Kwame Ture (aka Stokely Carmichael), spoken in his characteristic soft and eloquent style and that leads right into the first track which starts out "WAKE UP! TAKE THE PILLOW FROM YOUR HEAD, AND PUT A BOOK IN IT!" That in itself should prove that this would be a different kind of album. This album pushed you to think, at the same time KRS was experimenting greatly with various lyrics flows at this time. The result is an absolute masterpiece o from a hip hop standpoint. I don't think this one got much radio play..but it wasn't created for that purpose.
+But what a constant, sweet groove they get into!  Just a non-stop, pulsing groove, and the sound is excellent, re-mastered to DTS multi-channel format by Abbey Road. (I am a bit behind the times, but DTS is the only really good multi-channel format that I've yet heard).

The latter had about 2 minutes of song missing due to limitations of CD recording time (the original cassette was no doubt released on a 90 minute cassette where as CDs are limited to a max of 80 minutes). I have both the US and imported versions so between the 2 i was able to re-create a perfect digital copy of the original cassette without resorting to ripping the tape to my computer (i actually still have the original cassette in storage). all in all well worth the price i payed. shipping from seller was surprisingly fast seeing as it came from germany.

+Though older sounds are here, you can hear changes in the sound of this group as a result of their individual styles fusing together.  As a whole, the album has a quick pace and a relentless, driving bassline.  Only "Fall To Pieces" and "Loving The Alien" slow things down a bit.

It is straight West Coast but even Eastern rebels can groove to cuts like Bumble, Hillside, and Its All Bad. This is something different, because 40 has a way with the English language that has never been done before this.

+1463	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Carl Stalling is the composer you KNOW, even if you don't recognize his name.  He wrote the soundtrack for many of our young lives as the composer for Warner Bros.' "Merrie Melodies" and "Looney Tunes" cartoons from 1936 to 1958.  Hal Willner has compiled this CD that for the first time lets you hear the music on its own, and lets you realize just how much of the cartoons' impact came from Stalling's music.  It's more than coincidence that the cartoons had a big drop-off in quality right around the time Stalling retired.  The arrangements twist and turn in a millisecond, the clever orchestrations include some sophisticated early use of electric guitars as sound effects, and the quotes from popular songs (and from the canon of eccentric jazz composer Raymond Scott) were so influential that today we know the standard "Arkansas Traveler" primarily as "I'm Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee" and Mendelssohn's "Fingal's Cave" as the theme song for the Mynah Bird.

I think it's a blessing that I  can go to a party and hear people screaming the words to a Santana song.  Regardless of who wrote it, it's Santana's vibe and playing that pushes the  song to the next level. No disrespect to Mr. Thomas, but do you really  think "Smooth" would have been a hit for Matchbox 20? Not on your  life. The fact remains this is one of Santana's strongest albums in a long  time, and I pray that his re-birth doesn't fade away in the near future.

My only complaints  about this are too much blind, unexplained riffs at the beggining and the  Tab worksheets are kinda hard to read coz they're hand written in jazz  style. Video 1 is the most helpful but this one is definatly for the big  gear heads. If you know your gear and how to rigg it this video will give  you some good ideas.  If you've only been playing guitar for a couple  years I DO NOT suggest this video. I'd been playing 6 years before I took  this on. And it's still tough!

Having "Shut Down", "Fun Fun Fun" and "I Get Around" back to back to back is a great trio. Ending the album with "Good Vibrations" was cool but I think ending it with "All Summer Long" cause the album is "Endless Summer" and "All Summer Long" is the end of the summer.

The ensemble performance is superb: Paul  Sngal's guitar, Cleveland Chenier's rub-board, John Hart's tenor sax, Joe  Brouchet's bass and Robert St. Julian's drums all assist and add weight to  Le Roi's accordion work. All these cuts are downright classic, too! Check  out "Allons A Grand Coteau", "Quelque Chose Sur Mon  Ide" or "Ma Mama Ma Dit". It's guaranteed to cure your  blues and get you snappin' in no time flat. Remarkably, this music has aged  so little since it first appeared on (originally) LP and on CD. It's  immediacy is stunning, its performances sharp and the production still  solid (the album was originally recorded in 1975).

+In a superficial sense, one could say this music is borderline "Muzak," or "candy." A closer listen will reveal melodies with passages that may resemble "muzak," (sounds to numb out to or be pacified with), but that also contain connections to Greek musical sensibilities (check out some of the phrasings in "Enchantment") and an ability to connect the listener to a deep place of peace and spiritual connection.

+Of course I love Baker Street. There is a lot going on in that track, sophisticated and excellent. Comparing it with the (obscenely bad) Foo Fighters cover shows both the weaknesses of the Fighters' arrangement as well as the talent, polish, intelligence, and diligence of Rafferty's producer.
+Anyone who loves bossa nova or wonderful renditions of standard swing and jazz tunes should definitely not miss buying this DVD.  The only dissapointment for me is that it was not remastered in Dolby Digital, and offered in only PCM sound.  Although the video part of the DVD is very good considering its age, it also could have done with a remastering to make it look even more pristine for the digital age.
+The five bonus tracks are session takes and demos of the album songs in a rawer form that make this cd an excellent value. Stripped of its punchy production "Rebel Yell" reveals the spontaneous interplay between guitar and synth. "Motorbikin'" catches Idol emulating an almost Elvis-like croon, against a guitar driven beat. Devoid of saxophone, the demo of "Catch My Fall" displays a nice clean guitar sound from Stevens.  Again on "Flesh For Fantasy", Stevens shows his deft playing doesn't depend on distortion. Rather he makes extensive use of delay, chorus and flanger effects here. And finally, the demo version of "Blue Highway" is in some ways better than the studio version.  Here the soulful squeal of Steven's guitar blends with the synths in a way that's evocative of blue skies and the setting sun.
+From the moment I popped the CD in my stereo, I knew I had discovered a very special band. Opening track "Rebirthing" nearly blew out my speakers. The powerful riffs and soloing of Kasica combined with the beautiful strings present on this just about every other track on the CD  made my jaw drop and my spine tingle. The album slows down just a bit on the next three tracks, "The Last Night,"(a song about finding God's love and using it to fight one's urge to take their life) "Yours To Hold," and "Better Than Drugs" (my least favorite song on the CD; I can't stand the chorus), but picks right up with the title track and slows down a tad again with "The Older I Get."
+One of the most noteworthy tracks is my all-time favorite, another Rodgers & Hart's treasure "My Funny Valentine," which she rendered so splendidly and the piano accompaniment by Michael Kosarin is sublime! I listened to it several times, and so with the first track. Beautiful and timeless songs to enjoy for a lifetime!

+That said, "We'll Sing In The Sunshine" is one of my favorite "oldies" and one of my favorite "one-hit wonders."(The song hit #4 on the pop charts nationally and #1 in Detroit, on the chart published by Motown's leading top 40 station at the time, WKNR/Keener 13.) Radio in 1964 was saturated with the Beatles, and for an unknown folk singer from New Zealand as she was to make a breakthrough was probably quite remarkable, as short as her tenure on the charts turned out to be.  (After "Lovin' Place" fell off the charts, she had one more single, "I'll Cry Alone," "bubble under" before fading away.) She had a very distinctive voice - not diva-esque soulful, but warm and rich, good to relax with.

+The curtains are red to keep in line with the album cover, and the lighting alters from red to blue, depending on the song.  The material presented here is predominantly from Eden, but she does incorporate some other songs, such as "Who Wants To Live Forever," where her long brown mane waves through a gentle breeze, a block of Phantom of the Opera material, including "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" and "Music Of The Night."  I hope she keeps on singing that song to remind A.L. Webber that it was originally intended for HER.  After "Time To Say Goodbye," that must be her other signature tune.

Now, here is my review for a soundtrack that is, much like its film counterpart, often over-looked and under-appreciated. The film stars our boys Corey Feldman and Corey Heim, who were, in my opinion, two of the best teen actors of the 1980's. I saw this film about a year after it came out, and the soundtrack is, in part, what attracted me to this film. My favorite song in the movie... Well, I have no real favorite, but a few high ranking pieces would have to be "Rock On", "Dreams Come True", and "Where is She" (a title which, sadly, is not included on the soundtrack, and as far as I know, was never released on CD. The artists behind the song were Blue Future). The "Dream A Little Dream" rock themes were extremely nice to hear, and I love both variations. This film is a true gem, as is the soundtrack. If anyone who loved this film reads this, take my advice and buy this soundtrack. (Hey, this is coming from a guy who listens to the Offspring and the occasional Rob Zombie. Trust me when I say that ANYONE can enjoy the music of "Dream A Little Dream, young and old alike)

Each volume also gives you a few holiday favorites from the cream of '60s Motown (in this volume it's Stevie Wonder's "What Christmas Means to Me" and "Silver Bells" by the Supremes) and '70s soul (here it is Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" and The O'Jays "Christmas Ain't Christmas Without The One You Love").
+Forbidden (1995)
+Then due to the gradual parting of the original group members beginning with organist Alan Price in early '65, and drummer John Steel in early '66, Burdon put together a new band, left Mickie Most and signed to Decca in the U.K. (with MGM still releasing in the U.S.). Eric Burdon & the Animals were a whole new thing and just as good as the old group in a different way. From now on Burdon co-wrote most of their material and their style was more current with the changes in popular music in the mid to late 60's. Burdon himself moved to California and immersed himself in everything that was happening there. As a result the songs became more pop like and complex and were given more elaborate production. His lyrics were more timely, from the autobiographical When I was Young to the Summer of Love's San Franciscan Nights and Monterey. Burdon himself turned out to be poet at heart, which really came out in his hit single with War, Spill the Wine.

+The quality of the video has been enhanced, and it looks terrific. The 5.1 audio track is steller. You simply cannot go wrong with this purchase.
+Propelled further by the dual guitar work of Walsh and Don Felder, and Randy Meisner's exceptional bass playing and vocals, HOTEL CALIFORNIA proved to be the band's biggest studio album in terms of sales (fifteen million and still climbing), but also a very hard act to follow, which sadly caused the band to disintegrate a short three years later, not to return until 1994, when, as we all know, Hell froze over.  Knowing this history, however, does not dampen the impact of either the band or this incredible 1970s chronicle.  It is one of rock's essential albums, without dispute.
+I highly recommend this CD for fans of The Beach Boys (obviously), people who want to try out a Beach Boys CD, fans of pop as well as the bands from the 1960's in general. A keeper!  SMILE

Footage of the original shows exists, but have not been officially released as yet.  Therefore, this live version, put on by Roger Waters, and expanded to a much larger stage set, with accompanying guest stars, is the best way to witness this compelling work presented as it was meant to be seen, at least until Roger presents the show again as he has planned for 2010-2011. This version from Berlin is an awesome spectacle, complete with projections, giant puppets, and various props, all enlarged for presentation across a huge stage much larger than was constructed for the original tour. Some of the guest stars disappoint and are not entirely suited to their parts, but a particular standout is Bryan Adams, a guy about as far removed from "progressive" rock as you can find, but hitting his marks perfectly.  Recommended for any fan of Pink Floyd or those few people out there who simply enjoy watching rock concerts of any note in the comfort of your living room!

My Father years ago told me about a performer who was like none other. Word was that women at his concert performances littered the stage with room keys, notes, and an occasional undergarment (so he MUST have been a Bad Man in the sexually repressed Fifties). It certainly comes through in his music. Wilson was a great performer, like none before him. Not as flamboyant as Little Richard, but better pipes, and more raw emotion that could ever be harnessed. he was. Moves as fluid as a ballet dancer combined with the athleticism of a boxer (which we was), passion, and a voice like an opera singer.

+This album is not for purist, close-minded or faint-hearted listeners. However, if you're a fan of jazz-fusion and/or challenging, experimental, cerebral and adventurous music, take a risk and pick up this album. You may just find a new favorite artist, and/or appreciate music in a whole new way.
+Old Home Place starts out with J.D. playing the melody in a style thoroughly grounded in Earl Scruggs's playing, yet with a drive and invention that is J.D.'s own. Summer Wages, by Ian Tyson, is a moderately slow ballad from a songwriter in the folk, rather than bluegrass tradition, and it's a knockout, from Tony's singing to his tasteful guitar playing (even at age twenty-four, he understood that virtuosity doesn't consist of playing as many notes as you can) to Ricky's wonderful viola solo. Utah Phillips's mournful, waltz-tempo Rock Salt and Nails and a great version of Fats Domino's I'm Walkin' are two other examples of tunes that very few bluegrass bands would have tackled in 1975.
+  Not bad.
+It goes without saying that true Pink Floyd fans don't need to be told to add this upgrade to DVD from video to their collection. It might need to be said that if you've ever listened to Pink Floyd or enjoy their music at all that this DVD needs to be added to any rock fan's cart.

+As a souvenir of the evening the Concerto '99 DVD still scores highly, though not as much as the corresponding CD.
+Here's a track rundown:
+Opiate (4/5)- The title track is my favorite song on the album.  Excellent lyrics.
+  Not one of my favorites, but the video is real cool.
+There also exists a different version of the album that a fan would be interested in; the DCC Gold Disk that has an excellent version of the original album plus another five cuts from the original sessions.  The bonus cuts are "The New Sweet Home Chicago", "Jammin with Eric (Leon with Eric Clapton)", "Indian Girl", a solo piano version of "Shoot Out On The Plantation" and "Can't seen to Get a line on You" with Mick Jagger singing while Ringo plays on Drums.  However, this Gold disk does not have "masters of war" which is on the CD above.  The Gold disk is now being sold used (and very overpriced), but if you are a fan of Leon and can get a hold of a copy, you won't regret it.
+
+The video also was nice to see, could have been some more in my opinion. After all, you pay quit some money!
+Overall, most of the album is suited for the hard rock crowd. Other songs I just don't get. But the one redeeming song saves the day. If you don't get the album, get "The Older I Get" I promise you, you won't be disappointed. Oh, get the mainstream version, because it has better production value than the album version.
+A major highlight is "I Want You". Easily one of the creepiest & most powerful songs he's ever recorded.  I suppose the whole album could be summed up with the lines, "the truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark/ it scares you witless but in time you see things clear & stark".
+One song that is very relevant to relationship issues that many face is 'The Older I Get' in which songwriter/lead singer John Cooper sings about the healing of his relationship with his estranged father.

I saw him in  1989 and the show he gave was incredible, and this is similiar to that one all the way.  This is in black and white and it never looked better than on this blu ray. THe dvd had more extras but this one sound and picture quality trump that hands down. The songs are ultra classics and roy died way too soon. After all he was in the travelling wilburys" right before his death too and that had the late great George Harrison in it. TOday music is rather poor and without much style , even twenty years ago music was still vital and filled with great artists who wrote great music. THis proves that fact soundly.
+Released in 1970 "Home" follows the band's three previous albums with much the same sound--except that Trower's guitar takes center stage on a number of tracks.  The band's sound has taken on a more powerful overall sound that gives the songs some needed firepower.  Chances are if you're reading this you're already a fan and know the music on this album, so dissecting each track is pretty pointless.  About the only reason to purchase this edition is for the sound--which is open and seemingly more spacious sounding, and for the extra tracks.  But if you're happy with the 2009 edition there's no need to upgrade except for the bonus tracks.  Plus these new editions are not as tall as the 2009 packaging so they fit alongside other CD cases with no trouble.

They decorate a garbage can with christmas lights, try to hide it on a tug boat, swear up and down it's a nuclear bomb, and threaten to pull the string should thier demands not be met. One wants a blood test, one wants a pizza, and one wants a car, one wants an apology, and they all wanna-be on TV. Professor McKeeson (mad Professor) is crazy with anger that TV people wear wigs and use fake names. He hallucinates and thinks he hears TV people making fun of him. Another talks to the world via a reporter and camera dude they had kidnapped earlier. He's a mad scientist too.  Then there's the Veteran who laughs every time he shoots someone who gets too close. The Black lady recites original poems that address such topics as "all men are like one man", and the best way to "mourn for them". The Social Worker confesses to the FBI she had sex outside of marriage. Given these outrages, the viewers comes to accept that the world should in fact be destroyed. RIGHT NOW TOO! SEX? POETRY? PIZZA? Where did humanity go wrong?The FBI finds that Nuclear material IS missing from a lab that one of the mad scientists had worked at. A closer examination of the dressed out garbage can in the hull of the ship leads the Nuclear Emergency Response Team to believe the garbage can does indeed contain fissionable material that is configured into a bomb. The President orders the evacuation of the South Carolina coastal theatre. "Beautiful" Charleston is at particular risk. But that counter on the garbage can is for real; and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Not even the SEALS. Science now has 90 minutes to disarm it. Not the stars, not the science, not the philosophy; not mathematics, love, or deceit; not religion, not OUIJA, Tarot, or tears ---- the horror is within us. It is within us all.

+7730	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This CD by 4Him has been out a number of years now, but it still is one of my favorites.  It starts with an original song by the singer/songwriters that make up 4Him, called "Season of Love."
+"Eulogy" begins with a long intro; it takes about two minutes for the actual song to start up. This song features a lot of different types of guitar work (choppy, punching, beeping, and stop-start riffs), as well as a long, very Maynard-esque yell near the end. But "Eulogy" is really a highlight because of its lyrics, which are blatantly sacrilegious. Maynard yells things like "He (Jesus) had a lot to say; he had a lot of nothing to say," "Would you die for me...don't you lie," and "Come down...get off the cross, we need the space to nail the next martyr."
+3659	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is a rare look at the Moody Blues live in 1970. It is not a highly polished performance like their studio albums,but it is very good nonetheless. It starts with a 20 minute intro with present interview footage of John,Justin,Mike&Graeme,but sadly without Ray. The most interesting of this is Mike's demonstration of the mellotron and its interior workings.  Next comes about an hour of actual concert footage. Most of the concert is excellent,with the weakest song being "Tortoise and the Hare". To be honest,the mellotron is extremely hard to play live,and Mike gives it his best shot. " Melancholy Man" is an absolutely blistering performance. Other standout performances are "Never Comes the Day","The Sunset",and "Legend of a Mind". The encore,"Ride My Seesaw",is a compilation of footage from various concerts. Some of the concert film was lost,and this is most likely the reason for this. The dvd has only 10 songs,while the cd has 14, due to the fact that some film footage was lost [as mentioned in the dvd booklet]. After the concert are present day reflections from the band [once again ,no Ray]. The end of the disc has Graeme reciting "Late Lament".  This is an excellent look at early Moody Blues live. An absolute must for Moodies fans and for anyone who likes rock concerts that don't sound like they were done in the studio. There are no overdubs....this is a great raw performance.

A gritty swaggering blues penned by "Little" Milton Campbell, it burns with intensity and the liquid fire of veteran Carey Bell's chromatic harp, and Taylor roars like a lion(ess) on tough renditions of Ike Turner's "If I Can't Be First", and the supremely funky "Let The Juke Joint Jump".
+8657	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I bought this album having only heard a little of Bowie's massive archives. This album has since been whirled constantly by me. The first element which stands out to me is the presence of horns in  trks. like candidate,dodo,and big-brother blaring in the musical bed as twanging, banging guitar riffs. This instrumental marriage widens the explorations Bowie guides us on lyrically,from lovers in doorways in the city,to frantic,fleeing,paranoia of 1984. It is obvious that Bowie, like many others were affected by reading the bleak Orwell novel. Another highpoint of this cd are the trk. transitions which bleed magnificently together. These transitions gradually alter the mood and the pace of the songs. Bowie's vocals induce visions of a regal punk,or a rebellious aristocrat that casually roams the glass freckled streets in search of pleasure, refuge,and style. This music should be spit from your speakers everywhere;on the street where you live,on another floor,in the  back of a car,in a cellar like a chuch where the waters off. If you want it terrans....get it here then.

+7058	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	In the 1980s, just when everybody was starting to roll their eyes, throw up their hands, and declare that the too-perfect, newgrass scene had lost touch with its roots, guitarist Tony Rice organized this crackerjack ensemble, mysteriously known as the Bluegrass Album Band, and cranked out album after album of the good stuff.  Banjo plunker J.D. Crowe, dobro whiz Jerry Douglas, fiddler Bobby Hicks, gospel bandleader doyle Lawson and bassist Todd Phillips were his cohorts, and their four albums rank as some of the best truegrass recordings of the decade, steeped in the lore of the elders.  Gospel tunes with extraordinary vocal harmonies comingle with dazzling, lively picking, evoking Bill Monroe and all his followers, and showing quite clearly that the modern bluegrass crowd still has the goods.  This CD reissue only samples from the BAB volumes 1-4; I strongly urge you to track down the original LPs, since a lot of great material has been left by the wayside... Also, it's lamentable that someone felt the need to "update" the band's otherwise-delightful name for the digital age, to the misleading "Bluegrass Compact Disc," which makes most folks assume this is some kind of compilation album.  Note to Rounder: a CD with several songs on it can still be called an album; the origial name was way cooler.  Anyway, this is a grrrreat collection, well worth tracking down and playing over and over again!

+6454	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Hotel California is arguably The Eagles masterpiece which I'd agree as well as being one of the greatest albums of all time. Joe Walsh joined the band here and it wasn't the same Eagles we heard on Desperado or On The Border. Unlike their underrated follow-up The Long Run, Hotel California was a success which in many ways was a change fore the better. I'm a fan of the early Eagles and their country-rock as well, I just prefer this side of the band. One Of These Nights already had the band had departing from their roots with the exception of Lyin' Eyes but the disco-influenced title track as well as the mid '70s pop of Take It To The Limit was a new sound for the Eagles. Their early and later works are a bit different but we wouldn't want the same thing over and over. Hotel California is The Eagle in their finest hour from the classic opening title track to Joe Walsh's debut on Pretty Maids All In A Row to their other hits Life In The Fast Lane, Victim Of Love and New Kid In Town. Hotel California is often looked at as being overrated or overplayed but the reason why is because there isn't really a bad moment throughout the album which is harder to see than an album that's hit and miss throughout. Every song is a hit here even though some are better than others from it's ballads to the mid-tempo soft rock of New Kid In Town as well as the hard rock edge in Victim Of Love and Life In the Fast Lane which was a change for The Eagles but it worked. Hotel California blends soft rock, country, southern rock, pop, easy listening and hard rock for a perfect blend of styles which makes the albums stand out from the rest. Eagles in their finest hour as well as one of the finest records of all time.

It's too easy to have Macca's name on it, as the rest of the band each have a chance to lead at least one track (Denny Laine with two, one his own).  "Let 'Em In" (which name checks friends and family members) and "Silly Love Songs" (which stems from John Lennon and the critics alike slating McCartney's lovey-dovey solo tracks) are the bread and butter tracks here.  I did get to hear a demo of "Must Do Something About It" with Paul's guide vocal, but the final mix has Upstate NY's own Joe English as the only Wings drummer to take the mic.  "Wino Junko" reflected Jimmy McColluch's addictions which sent him to an early grave.  Linda is the "Cook of the House" and even then, has a cruelty-free menu!  The disco track "She's My Baby" managed to be made classical for 'Working Classical' in 1999.  "Warm and Beautiful" is another nod to the missus.

"1984" is one of the best on the record, in fact - to me, the only better track is "Diamond Dogs" (and maybe "Rebel, Rebel").

And then we have Stepheno, the long time partner of callas whose "diction" is unbelievable. We also have Lawrence Tebbett, with his super charisma equipped with such a "dark voice between bass and baritone that is ringing in the top register". We also have Corelli with a most beautiful voice. He is more handsome then any Hollywood film star and his way of singing is the most modern. We also have an intriguing clip of Wunderlich singing an arai from The Magic Flute. And of course, we also have Bjoring who is far more appealing than Pavoratti singing Boheme...

To clear rumours, "I Ain't Trippin'" clears the air as Short give a brief history of his quest to stardom.  "...now that I established one fact / I came here to rap..." a punchline found on "Nobody Does It Better" as he claims his position as a pioneer.  "Oakland" is a mainstream, R&B groove that's more like an instrumental interlude.  No he does not rap or flow on this song, but he does calmly takes us on a ride in a Cadillac Barritz on Trues and Vogue with the top down feeling the breeze.  Representing East Oakland like no other, "City Of Dope (Edited Version)" is the darker side of the city streets.  Most would ignore Too Short because of his favoriate word, but these tracks shows his versitility and has a statement.

It is the long suppressed made-for-TV special recorded 28 years earlier on Dec 11-12, 1968 with The Who, John Lennon, Taj Mahal, Jethro Tull, Marianne Faithful, and Eric Clapton.  The packaging is beautiful with a great 42 page glossy color booklet that has all the rare behind the scenes photos and a full account of things leading up to the event.  The Who were red hot at the time and easily upstaged the Stones who were still struggling through their first major crisis after the removal of Brian (and his subsequent death) and attempting to figure out how to hold on to their status as the premier band.  The Stones refused to release the recordings because their performances were not spectacular.  Most reviewers agreed when they finally got to see the film themselves.  However, what the film lacks in production (which was obviously amateurish) it makes up for in history.  The Stones lackluster set of Jumpin' Jack Flash, Parachute Woman, No Expectations, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Sympathy For the Devil, and Salt Of The Earth are easily compensated by The Who's mini opera A Quick One While He's Away and Lennon and Clapton's Yer Blues.  There are also dated period piece interviews with Mick and John and very amateurish introductions by the individual Stones, which when combined with the extremely amateurish set, acting, and cinematography amply demonstrate why this is one for Stones and rock history collectors.  The Stones were right, it didn't work for them, and it is good that the release was delayed until it appealed to collectors and would not reflect on the reputation of the band.

Then I think, what about ZOMBY WOOF? That's a great tune, amazing guitar solo, stop on a dime arrangement. Can't do this without ZOMBY WOOF.

Might as well just say to hell with the compilation and just copy OVER-NITE SENSATION for the ride.

I remember it was mixed in surround sound, and when the helicopters came overhead from behind in the segue before "Another Brick in the Wall" part 2, I felt the need to duck while the choppers went by.  It was truly an "immersive" visual and aural experience.  I've seen this on laserdisc and VHS over the years but neither ever really did justice to the concert.  With this DVD release, and the remixed 5.1 sound by James Guthrie, it finally does justice to the concert.  Now my only wish is that some day an official release of "A Delicate Sound of Thunder" will make it to DVD.

+"We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
+This album is a fascinating hodgepodge of  styles: pure, delicious pop ("Speed of Life", "Sound and  Vision"), post-punk ("Breaking Glass", "What in the  World"), R&B flavored rock ("Be My Wife"), ambient jazz  ("Art Decade", "Weeping Wall"), even classical  ("Warszawa"). Despite the stylistic variations, the album is of a  piece: a coherent vision wherein each song is treated with a rich palette  of sonic coloration. Bowie and Eno utilize multiple synthesizers, layered  guitars, colliding vocals,  and twisted variations of an instrument's  "traditional" sound (check out the honky-tonk piano of "Be  My Wife" or the harmonica of "A New Career in a New Town")  to produce music unlike any heard before in rock.

After flipping back and forth, there's no discernable difference between the two - in regards to both sound quality and picture quality - and certainly, the DVD is no worse than the VHS. Both were taken from film reels as the originals are probably long lost. Edge goes to the DVD since it offers track selection and the trailers (not that they're much of anything though), and chances are your DVD player is wired to your stereo system.
+2961	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This television special is one of the most incredible DVD's I have ever watched. Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra are my favorite singers so I was thrilled to find out that they worked together on this show. I don't really like Dean Martin, but if you like his kind of lazy, crooning style then he's at his peak I suppose. Frank's voice is in great shape and he gives an incredibly moving performance of "I See Your Face Before Me," among others. But it is still Judy's show, and as the New York Times stated when this show aired in 1962, "Judy Garland held television in the palm of her hand last night." Indeed she did. Her voice is in great shape and she sings many of the songs that she sang in her 1961 Carnegie Hall album, which was still charting at the time this aired. This is arguably the greatest television show featuring Judy Garland, even her wonderful series never quite matched its excellence, making it a must-have for any fan (or lover of truy great singing!)
+All the Evidence I Need
+The DVD presents the show in the best restoredc version that it can due to limitations in the source material for the times. The 4:3 picture works fine for the most part and the 5.1 Sound while not perfect captures the mood of the show. I found that the surrounds really did not come into play on this DVD. The selection of material was good. The first half of the show focused on newer material and the second disc presented a live version of Dark Side of the Moon in its complete form.

+Aside from the traditional tunes, the theme of the album seems to be about sorrow as well as the paths we choose.  This is pure storytelling.  It is worth the time to read through the lyrics while listening to the songs.  It definitely adds to the enjoyment.
+That said, the videos here more than make up for the missing ones in their audacity and their sparkling greatness. All of the videos sparkle together with a great eclecticism that perfectly captures what Bjork is able to achieve in her compositions, and they are all memorable in the different quirks the star gives of herself. Gondry's efforts (the refreshingly old-fashioned "Human Behaviour", the Gilliam-esque "Army Of Me", the timeless black-and-white hues of "Isobel", the colour explosions of "Hyperballad", the sweeping "Joga" and the filmic saga of "Bachelorette") are amazing in their evocation of colour and storytelling, and cement greater things to expect from the Frenchman, who went on to make "Human Nature" with Patricia Arquette, Rhys Ifans and Tim Robbins.

Starr's direction is--contrary to some of the opinions below--pretty good, kind of like what "Magical Mystery Tour" should have looked like.

+5905	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	"Wheels of Fire" is Cream's best album. The follow-up to "Disraeli Gears", this offering reveals Cream at the peak of their studio and live powers.  Their songwriting chops had improved significantly since "Disreali", and songs like "Those Were the Days", "Pressed Rat and Warthog" and "Deserted Cities of the Heart" were like nothing they had ever written or recorded previously. On the original album release, this was a double LP, with record one being the studio album and record two being a live album recorded at the Fillmore. "Wheels" seduces the listener with a great mix of Classical Rock, Psychedelic Power Pop Rock, Blues Rock and Instrumental Music. Great instrumentation on the studio cuts like Glockenspiel and Cornet and incredible improv on the live side make this one of the decade's (60's) great works. I recently heard Clapton say that when he heard the solos in "Crossroads" on the live side of the record, he winced at how bad he thought that they were. Don't believe it. Those two solos are still among the greatest live improvs dedicated to vinyl in all of rock history(Others that comes to mind are Jimi Hendrix's solos in "Little Wing" off of the "Hendrix in the West" release and Duane Allman's final solos in "Mountain Jam" on "The Allman Bros. Live at the Fillmore East." A must for 60's music lovers and truly a record of the era.
+
+ Additional kudos must be given to the fact that this is a two CD set. While a single disc with bonus tracks could have easily been released (and has), "Diamond Dogs'" original 40 minutes stands at its best without additional clutter tacked on the end like some hideous footnote from an obsessive Bowie acolyte insisting that a masterpiece has to be amended. MORE artists/albums need to be treated with this kind of respect - Thanks EMI!
+There are sure fire rockers included within this set as well, with "Rebel Rebel", "Diamond Dogs" and "1984", but personaaly the most overlooked gem on this entire set would have to be the track "Big Brother". The second line of the song even tells the listeners and critics "Don't think of last years capers, give me steel...," but I think the best passage of the song is the acoustic bridge in the middle of the song wherein its almost as if David were talking to his critics and especially his fans, face to face and says:

"Breadfan" has become famous over the last 10 years or so (thanks to Metallica and the Red Hot Chili Peppers) for the main guitar riff that opens the song, and it's a GREAT riff on the same level as Sabbath or any other hard rock classic.

These include his original version of "Delta Lady", which Joe Cocker made into an FM standard (with Russell playing guitar), and "Hummin'bird", covered by Bob Seger on SMOKIN' OP'S. In addition, this album paved the way for the whole Tulsa, OK rock scene, as well as for Adult Contemporary star Rita Coolidge and disco group the Gap Band. Russell's advocacies of sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that country's trumped-up 2005 drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist, and increased funding for law enforcement, make this album an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.
+Do It For The Kids-10/10: Duff's bass line and Slash's riff sets the tone for this song, almost a sarcastic one. Weiland's vocals back up the instruments perfectly, and his chorus is one of the best on the album. This is a really angry song, just read the lyrics!

About 160,000 people attended the festival, and many of them were probably still there that night at 2:00 AM when the Who played, but the Who were very clubby, talking to the audience as if there were only 150 of them there. Pete Townsend played a Gibson SG and babbled to the audience. Not too much windmill swinging, but his red overalls that cut off well above the ankles were as strange-looking as his white socks. John Entwistle came out in a skeleton jumpsuit, which was pretty strange, but it was hard to notice because I was mainly awed at his fantastic bass playing - it may be hard to realize he's the godfather of the virtuoso bass players of the age from listening to Who studio recordings, but when you watch him you're in awe. Roger Daltry has tassles on his jacket that reach below his knees, and that's mainly what you notice about him, while Keith Moon is noted for his insane grinning and leering. Great show.

+By 1970 John had just too many songs stored up and needed another outlet to being on the B side of the Who's latest single. So he began his first solo LP in November. Cy Langston was recruited from the Who's roadcrew for his guitar ability that sounded much like Pete Townshend.

The lyrics depart from the elliptical approach used in "Common Sense" and other albums. The tunes flow on from song to song.  My favorites are "Be My Friend Tonight", "The Oldest Baby in the World" (featured on most of Prine's compilation albums), "Unwed Fathers" (a duet with first wife Rachel Pure Prine), and the irrepressible "Bottomless Lake", which I've performed in public a couple of times.  It takes me back to my days growing up in central New York state, as Prine sings "we rented a car at the Erie Canal, but the car didn't have no brakes," and harks back to those disastrous family vacations, a la Chevy Chase.  We never fell in a bottomless lake, but we did get rear ended by a drug and weapon-bearing hit and run driver on street corner in Phoenix.  I would have enjoyed a couple more edgy tunes and lyrics, but the overall effect is still a very listenable (albeit short) record.
+The music for Move On was inspired by playing 'All the Young Dudes' backwards; with that said, this makes for another strange listen.  It features some strong vocalization by Bowie, as usual, with a tint of something unplacebly foreign sounding.  After all times I've listened to this song I just can't understand what makes this song so great.

There's a nice focus on the effect of GG Allin, and would have worked well as a documentary about those around him (band and fans), but this film offers you little on GG Allin himself, though it seems to want to make him its focus.

In short, this is one exceptional group of musicians, with phenomenal material! Until We Sleep is one of the finest exhibitions of rock mastery, and of Dave's style, as he plays lead with chords, calmly whacks you with his perfect Roger Mayer Octavia lead, at the end, doubling the pitch, and hitting unbelievable rapid-fire licks like an Uzi, and weaving into your mind with 2 octaves of lead, like a mad scientist of sound-Incredible!

+775	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	I bought the Velvet Revolver cd and it's not the same as Guns N' Roses.  It's more like a recycled version of Stone Temple Pilots under a new name.  Sure, the album boasts great songs like Slither and Fall to pieces- but that's about it.  If you want Slash at his best, I would buy Guns N' Roses- Appetite for Destruction, Guns N' Roses- Use Your Illusion I and II and Guns N' Roses- G N' R Lies and The Spaghetti Incident?  You could also buy their Greatest Hits.  Velvet Revolver is nothing more than a cheap imitation of Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots
+What shocking surprise. A Shuckadelic Soul Motion!  A gem, a Masterpiece and a Gift from a revolutionary artist with heart, passion and intellegence.  The Mint Julips' vocals are off the chart divine.  The band is a collaboration of perfection. Mickey aint bad either.

Of course the album is primarily known for the huge number one hit "Baker Street" and "Right Down The Line," but many of the other songs on the album are great as well, particularly the interesting instrumental arrangement on "City to City," the strong interaction of lyrics and music in "Mattie's Rag" (which is my second favorite song on the CD behind "Right Down The Line"), and the purity of piano and vocals with an almost gospel feeling on "Whatever's Written In Your Heart." I deducted a star because there are several weaker filler songs on the CD, but the strengths of the album make them well worth listening to (or skipping.)

Don't completely overlook his later work--there is good music hidden on various albums like "Zappa Live in New York," "One Size Fits All," "Sleep Dirt," and "Orchestral Favorites," "Make a Jazz Noise Here," and some of the compilations of live outtakes. But the success of stupid songs like 1974's "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" encouraged Zappa to feed his fans more of the same unfunny, vulger trash, which he then pretentiously defended as the essence of the First Amendment while attacking easy targets like Jimmy Swaggert and Tipper Gore.

+2.  When my sister joined the army, she left her record collection with my grandparents.  I found them and holed myself away in the basement and began listening.  When I got to Elvis Costello & the Attractions, it was Blood and Chocolate I found.  I was blown away.  Simply put, this album changed the way I thought about modern music.  I had been listening to Journey, and Styx, and Chicago, along with a plethora of heavy metal and classic rock, but when I played my sister's record, the flood gates were opened.  From the opening moments of "Uncomplicated" until te very end of "Next Time Around,"  I am mesmerized every time I listen to this album.  The other people and music that make me feel the same?  The Beatles (most of what they do), Rolling Stones' Let it Bleed, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, and The Miles Davis Quintet's Steamin' With . . ..  My music tastes are varied, but my, oh my, Blood and Chocolate is definately the real meal deal.

It's not just Tony that makes this album great  though.

And check out the Civil War feel on the song BACKWATERS when  Todd bows his bass!

Whining indy bands, hollow pop stars, and insipid rock acts (Linkin Park, anyone?) have dominated the airwaves long enough.  I was beginning to worry about the future of rock music when all of a sudden Slash, Duff, Dave Kushner, Matt Sorum, and Scotty Weiland broke out with Contraband.  Real rock has come back to us, and its fitting that the band to do it is 3/5 of Guns n' Roses.  Even though Velvet Revolver is heavier than GnR (particularly GnR's Appettite days), it still manages to rock and keep itself head-and-shoulders above the mire of generic post-grunge sludgery and whatnot.

He knew he was dying at this point and the urgency to spread the message he had be teaching over the years had grown palpable. This has some hilarious jokes and I keep coming back to this album again and again and even though I know the jokes by heart now I still laugh out loud because of Bill's incredible delivery. `People who hate people' is short but pure genius, take a listen and you'll see what I mean. I love it that he can make you laugh and open your eyes wide to the irony in life at the same time and this is a rare and sadly missed talent of Hicks. This is definitely not one to share with your mum, but it is one to share with all your friends, family and colleagues and as many other people as possible!!! It is simply brilliant.
+RAM is an essential part of the early post-Beatle McCartney years, and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey brought Paul his first #1 single after The Beatles split. Taken on it's own terms, it's quite an enjoyable piece of work. It's relaxing, romantic and fun, and it has some excellent examples of Paul McCartney's astute songwriting abilities. It's also kind of frivolous, carefree and a little bit exclusive, so if you're looking to kneel in front of your speakers and worship a sweeping and all consuming work of art, this might not be what you're looking for. For those who just want to hear good music mixed with carefree simplicity, relaxation and love & marriage, RAM will do just fine.

I have to agree with many other fans of the album here--this does provide a blueprint for Thompson's albums with Linda but, more importantly, for his second solo album "Hand of Kindness" another overlooked gem from RT's recording career. This terrific classic album sounds marvelous here in its remaster/reissued edition. There are no bonus tracks nor any additional sleeve notes althought the original artwork is duplicated and we do get the song lyrics.

This cd starts off good, builds on itself, and eventually grows on you (which is saying something for me. see my review for Demanufacture). If you don't like this cd, or Tool, for that matter, I'm okay with you having your own opinion, but do NOT say that Tool sucks. There's a difference between a band you don't like and a band that has no idea what they're doing when they pick up their instruments. Tool is a finely developed band, and even if you don't like them, to say they suck is purely for the sake of talking trash.

But Imperial Bedroom remains one of his most important albums, because here he showed just how far he evolved from the angry young man phase of his earliest work.

+Steely Dan's greatest attribute is this: With all their chord progressions, all their sophisticated lyrics, swift production, and great studio musicianship, there was always a hint of soul that if the listener could find (and trust me not everyone gets it), but if the listener can find that hint of soul, the songs explode into your heart.  This is NOT one of those albums.  I refuse to give a Dan album 1 star, but I can't stress enough how far from Classic Dan this record is.  Be careful before buying it.

+Band 15: Ris Stevens - 1941 (2:51) - Yet another glorious vocal performance in a bizarre setting.  A segment from the movie "The Chocolate Soldier".  The singer is standing in front of a piano in what appears to be a cocktail lounge or club; an audience similar to the above.  In a short interview the singer discusses the problems of looking attractive for the camera while filming an aria.  She does a nice job of  singing "Mon coeur s'ouvre" from Samson and Dalila; but exhibits no emotion whatever - whether by the instructions of the director or personal preference is unknown.

It is quite likely that you will never hear a weirder or more truly disturbing cd than Tool's Aenima.  This is the least straightforward cd ever made in the popular music scene (I can't speak for college radio or underground) and it is incomprehensible at times, boring at times, and thrilling at times.  There are a good number of tracks that have a strange sound that really hurts your ears as it builds, then it goes into a normal song.  Many songs are haunting and depressing.  However, if you expect something like the Cure's Disintigration or something, you are in for a major surprise.  I would suggest you get Undertow before this cd, its much more accessible.  but do check this music out; it is quite disturbing and frankly, too stale in bits for most people.

+2177	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Cross Purposes features the only album where Geezer Butler and Tony Martin appear together. Things went sour in late 1992 when Dio left for good due to the fact Sabbath agreed(without him)to open for Ozzy's supposed  retirement tour(Costa Mesa,Nov'92;with Rob Halford on vocals,I was there).  A new drummer in the form of veteran Bobby Rondinelli(Rainbow), and ever  faithful Geoff Nicholls on keyboards made up the 1994 line-up. Of course  you had Tony Iommi at the helm. I rate this album at about four stars.  Check out the combination live video/cd of this tour. The studio album has  some good offerings , especially the first four tracks and the last two.  The live material is pretty good on the IRS release, but Butler's bass  doesn't sound as clear or  defined as usual. Tony Martin sounds better  studio-wise than live. It's hard to make out the keyboards, but the drums  are great. Iommi always shines. The album and tour (which I missed) was  probably better than most for 1994. A year later Forbidden came out with yet  more line-up changes leaving Iommi alone again. Cross Purposes is slightly  better.

+I've completely changed my mind. I love this album now! I listened to it with headphones in bed, reading the lyrics and it happened. I understood it. Now I can't stop listening, incredible. I still don't like "Weeping Wall". I think this could be easily left out. Other times this "disclosure" of the beauty of an album happened much time after the first listen. The same happened to me with "Pornography" by The Cure for example...another album that now I love.
+Why bored you ask? Well for a time I was lead singer in a local "reggae" band called "Pangea". Nice enough guys, good musicians and decent blokes but the repetoire was almost 85% Marley and if you do anything too long you can come to hate it. I left the band after I felt I'd sooner stick my head in an oven rather than sing one more Marley tune.
+The highlight of the album though is it's  closing track, a song titled "Men Men Men".  Here Yoko turns the  tables on men by depicting what she seeks in a man and not the other way  around as was custom at the time.  Yoko gives a hats off to Mae West in the  songs final refrains when she breathfully beckons "Come up and  hmm-hmm, come up and see me sometime."  In probably one of the most  clever lyrics of the time,Yoko announces "Ladies and Gents, I'd like  to introduce you to...my lower half, without whom I won't be breathing so  heavily!"  This is concluded with "Honey juice, you can come out  of your box now." then after the song fades you hear John's voice  simply saying "Yes, Dear".

Joe Walsh's gorgeous 'Pretty Maids All in a Row' is included in their current live concert tour, of which I got to attend 2 nights ago sitting in 2nd row in Tenn (came in from Los Angeles just to see them).  Grammy-winning 'New Kid in Town', the rockin' 'Victim of Love' and 'Life in the Fast Lane' are also here as is the poignant 'Wasted Time' (the sad 'yacht song' in the 'History of the Eagles' documentary) and of course the title track, which is also Brilliantly featured in the doc as the only song played in it's entirety during the film.

The Hollywood musical star of the 1940s and 50s was born Alfred Cocozza and while this biography traces his success with films and records it also plays straight with his drinking and eating binges until his sudden death in 1959 at the young age of 38.  This biography tries to deal with the persistent rumors that Lanza was killed by the mob because he never paid back Lucky Luciano, who reported had financed Lanza's career, but in the end there is mere suspicion rather than hard evidence.  Watching this film will probably make you wish you had rented "The Great Caruso" or "The Student Prince" instead.  The clips of Lanza singing will only whet your appetite to hear more.

Give Walsh credit.  He already had a successful solo career, and didn't need to merge with Henley, Frey and company to enhance his popularity.  What Walsh managed to do was improve the band's songwriting and give it a stronger sonic edge.  That is readily apparent on the title track, which is the band's best song.

+Unfortunately, the album falls apart after that. Without getting into the disappointment of each subsequent track, I will just state there is way too much Reggae rhythm and mid-tempo snoring going on. Blondie has always been very diverse on each album, though this one lacks that diversity and stays the way of dull World music. After such a great opening few songs, the only other track maybe worth a listen is Love Doesn't Frighten Me, though it lacks a real hook and the chorus and is a bit repetitious. Some people slammed the last album, 'The Curse of Blondie', though I find that album infinitely more satisfying than this.

+Deep Purple started out as a pioneering cross between a progressive/art rock band and a hard rock band. Jon Lord was the leader and led the band in more an art rock direction. After 3 albums, they kicked out the original singer and bass player and replaced them with Glover and Gillian. Lord has his final art rock production, Concerto for Group and Orchestra, released in 1970. It wasn't the first time a rock group was backed by an orchestra, but it was the first for a hard rock band. This album did not do well, and that was the last of Deep Purple's experiments. After that, Ritchie Blackmore became more of an influence and the group moved to harder rock sound.

OK, the second time I puchased it WAS spur of the moment - there I was eating at the Hibachi, a great Japanese restaurant in Kansas City, killing time by treating my taste-buds before seeing Elvis at the Starlight Theater in the summer of '83.  All of the sudden in walks...Elvis Costello with his entourage!  Did I know that Elvis loved good Japanese food?  Well, of course, but who've thought it?  Anyway, after a moment of excited discussion on the strategy of approaching E.C. for his autograph with my then-wife Diane and her brother Jeff, it was decided that Jeff and I would run to the nearest music store to procure a couple of Elvis albums and Diane would keep him at the Hibachi, using any charms necessary.  Jeff bought a copy of his latest, Punch the Clock, while I purchased the Masterpiece?, Imperial Bedroom.  We arrived back the Hibachi, our food getting cold on the table, while E.C. was quickly consuming his.  We ate quickly, while deciding how we were to approach the man.  During this unending dicussion, Elvis and entourage got up to leave...and we paniced, allowing E.C. to walk on by without a word.  However, Bruce Thomas noticed the albums on the table, and stopped Elvis and motioned back to us.  Elvis grudgingly turned around and humored yet another starstruck fan.  We did have a short conversation, he signed the albums, and left.  Yep, still have my autographed Imperial bedroom, never played.

The Allman Brothers Band scorch through two live sets with a few behind the scenes jams as well, Marvelous.  While this is not the full original line up,  The new players handle there parts superbly laying down those classic ABB licks.  I have read a lot of complaints concerning this new lineup and their lack of talent.  This is unjust critical snobbery at its worse!  While the new guitarist may not be Duane Allman,  He certainly an extraordinarly excellent guitarist in his own right.  This was filmed in the early eighties and filmed outdoors for its first half.  It is an all out redneck festival as the Allman Brothers play to an excited crowd.  I can almost smell  the Bud Light and BBQ hotdogs just watching this set.  What a blast this day must have been.  One thing I must say is that Dickie Betts Owns these live performances.  This guy is an absolute machine with the guitar. his performance is spirited and one can sense the joy he gets from playing on stage.  While Greg is fine,  He has a tendency to slur his way through parts of these performances.  I feel in a way that Dickie had to pick up the slack for Greg.  The concerts are shot very well,  that is not always the case in concert DVD's.  The audio for the most part is excellent.  The song selection is very good.  They decide to do an extended Jam of one of their new songs from that year and do an excellent job.  Trucks really gets to shine with his drum solo on this number.  All in All a superior document of a great band that any will enjoy but is absolutely essential for Allman Brothers fans.
+explains why the sound had always been so bad on previous
+I am glad that Slash has gone with only one singer for the entire album, and one style of music.  The previous album had some real gems on it but I couldn't take to it as a whole.  Some of the singers shat me to tears, and some of the styles just weren't what I wanted to hear from Slash, nor what I think he's best at.  This album scores big ticks from me in those regards.  The pure hard rock style of the music on this album resonates with me in a big way.  This is the kind of music I grew up with and really haven't had that much of in recent years (at least not this quality).  Apocalyptic Love really is a very welcome dose of straight forward riff-rock from start to finish, only slowing down occasionally for few songs which still pack some serious punch none the less.

All of us kids at school would ache for the next dance night when we'd all show up and dance to these great songs. We never wanted to stop dancing when we heard these awesome songs; and when one of the teachers chaperoning the dance would look at us he would smile when he saw us having fun, too. They were beautifully written songs then; and they're equally beautiful songs now.

+There's a slight ominous and nocturnal club aura with the pulsing bass backbeat in "Flesh For Fantasy," the third single, which reached #29 on the pop charts and #8 on the album rock charts.  The carnal hunger is felt during the chorus-"you see and feel my sex attack"-when things rise in pitch, evidenced by Idol's lusty vocals and Stevens' guitars.  The session take has a slightly slower tempo in the verses, but with a quicker-paced and different sounding chorus.

+If you aren't familiar with the New Vaudeville Band, it is a group of young men in the sixties who wanted to recreate the sound and feel of music from the 30's.  The album (LP) has a better biography of how it actually came together as well as a neat picture of the band in era garb.  The jewel case insert says that the music is from the 20's and I don't have my LP unpacked to make sure that the LP had said 30's.  I am pretty sure though.  The person who wrote the description on the insert  apparently didn't like the band.  He says, "And, despite the corny sound of the record, it won the 1966 Grammy for Best Contemporary Rock & Roll Recording ..."  Corny sound.  The LP sounded great.  It was SUPPOSED to sound dated.

Despite that, it's still very much Macca's album and although the album is not heavy on singles, it is a throroughly strong album all the way through.  Paul is obviously in fine form rocking through great tunes like "Too Many People" and "The Back Seat of My Car".  Ram is also home to the two polar opposites of Paul:  his soft side, displayed well on "Heart of the Country" and "Uncle Albert/ Admiral Halsey", and his raucous screaming rocker side, epitomized by the excellent "Monkberry Moon Delight".  While it's hard to tell what influence Linda had on the album, she does provide some nice back-up vocals on tracks like "Long-Haired Lady".

While I haven't heard the entire disc, I can safely say this is one mighty fine album.  These instrumental jams are atmospheric, adventurous and as creative as a jam can possibly be.  The way Frank Zappa used to write music is just really incredible.  Being experimental really *is* the way to go, for long-lasting satisfaction.  While Hot Rats is his masterpiece, the Grand Wazoo is probably his next best album.  Jamming done right!

+Hardly intriguing, yet still interesting, 'Ram' is a very pleasing record and one of his solo best.  I can think of so many records that have been more simply conceived and written than this album which have garnered more acclaim.  In the end, it's The Beatles vs. The Beatles, or better yet, The Beatles vs. Themselves, themselves free to do what they want.

There have been many Billie tribute CD's over the years, few ever equalling her soulfulness and artistry, but after listening to this CD, Etta really opens my eyes and ears.  I wouldn't expect someone primarily known as a soul-R&B singer to nail down these songs in an entirely new blues-soul context yet retaining its jazz structure.  She doesn't really have Billie's fragility of phrasing, but shows the same X factor of emotional and gut-wrenching elements in her interpretations, though on a grander scale.  She adds some of her ever-present feistiness as well, which of course Billie never had, but it never detracts from the jazz feel of this CD.  Feistiness is, after all, what makes her Etta James.  She shows remarkable restraint when she needs to be in this jazz context.  Congrats to a brave Etta in tackling these songs so identified with Billie.  You pulled it off, girl!

Henley's drumming helps an already perfect piece of music.
+Willner sifted through hundreds of cartoons to choose about 40 with the most significant music.  He presents the music in a variety of formats.  A few tracks provide the soundtrack for a single entire cartoon.  Others are medlies from a certain period in Stalling's career or pieces that set a particular mood (such as the "Anxiety Montage").  There are also tapes from recording sessions for 1951's "Putty Tat Trouble" that give insight on how this music was recorded.  I couldn't recommend this CD any more highly.  (After you've given it a listen, check out a Raymond Scott "best of" album like "Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights" to see just how many of its tracks are familiar from various cartoons.)

+But I'm not complaining.  As is, "Diamond Dogs" is a  great album.  Bowie's voice is stronger than on any of his previous albums.  It shows a wide range, hitting the lowest of notes on "Candidate" and  higher notes on other songs.  Guitar riffs on the title song and "Rebel  Rebel" are amongst Bowie's most recognizable.  The disco beat of the song  "1984," while foreshadowing more annoying things, should also be recognized  as innovative, especially since it was made three years before "Saturday  Night Fever."

It still has alot of comedic elements in it and Jeff is very good on the wheels of steel. It is in some ways better than Rock the House because this album allows Jeff to do his mixing of a few tracks without will giving him commands (not that I mind it at all, but it allows Jeff to be a star in the album as well and give him more credit as a DJ). It contains the duo's biggest hit "Parents Just Don't Understand" which has a comedic approach to what occurs when you get in trouble with your parents.

+Of course the Animals were more than their three greatest hits (but those are three really good songs for one group to have recorded), and "Retrospective" is a reminder of that.  They had "Baby Let Me Take You Home" (#21 in the U.K.) before "House of the Rising Sun" hit #1 in the U.S., and while Eric Burdon was always the group's front man it is Hilton Valentine's guitar riff and Alan Price's organ playing that really makes that song work.  In terms of U.S. chart success the group had "I'm Crying" (#19) in 1964 and then in 1965, "Boom Boom" (#43), "Bring It On Home to Me" (#32), "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" (#15), and "We've Got to Get Out of This Place" (#13), which in this collection is the original U.S. single version.

Though it's generally agreed that all Denny's records are of the highest quality this album is often referred to as the least succesful. This is mostly due to the fact that some tracks seem a little burdened down by too heavy orchestration. Another problem could be that the album may seem to lack  the clear direction of her previous three.

+It's great exercise music, too--"The King and I" and "A Lot Like You" are walking tunes extraordinaire. But what is slowly becoming my anthem is "Sacred Hideaway" -- what an AMAZING SONG! Not only does is appeal to my musical appreciation, but the Cherokee in me FEELS this song, from the opening flute, to the chants in the background, and the lyrics (Marty Magehee should be rewarded for this!) that speak of that 'special place' (my grandmothers were always speaking of 'finding your own special place') where you go for your spiritual renewal.
+6060	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I remember playing this album as a jazz dj for an Los Angeles college radio station and being blown away.  I interviewed Russell Ferrante and broadcast it during the month it was released.  I won't waste your time and restate all the wonderful reviews already submitted, but will say that this was their best effort and very much influenced by Weather Report who had pioneered this World Music approach to progressive jazz 10 years earlier.  Russell said as much in the interview we did way back in the 1980s and this not only is a fitting tribute to Weather Report but a MAJOR STATEMENT ABOUT THE ARTISTRY OF the YELLOWJACKETS!!!! Over 20 years old and still a beautiful, creative, passionate example of contemporary/progressive jazz as it is supposed to be played.....it is timeless and sounds great today!!!!
+The first incarnation of The Animals started in the early sixties... these guys were a gritty blues rock band, that had a really great sound. They could be like a doo wop style or a dark gloom rock style. Some of the music they put out was way ahead of its time. They had that gritty feel down patted though. HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN is a timeless song. It's as fresh for me now as it was when I was eight years old, amazed at its haunting charm. WE GOTTA GET OUTTA THIS PLACE is a funky bass line, with more blue collar lyrics. Dig. Lots of greats (most of it came between 64 and 66 before the band fell apart.) The remainder of the tracks come from the second incarnation of the band, the San Fransiscan line up, put Eric Burdon in more of a psychedelic phase. I personally prefer the grittier older tracks to these, but there are some goods here too... SKY PILOT, and SAN FRANSISCAN NIGHTS....
+The Grand Wazoo was released in 1973 as part of the tilogy of albums begining with the legendary classic Hot Rats, continuing with the brilliant Waka/Jaka, and concluding here with The Grand Wazoo. While not the overwelming classic that Hot Rats is this is far superior in composistion and form. More mature and thought out even though most of this is 'free form/improv' though not much was ever improv with Zappa other then guitar solos. While this is more orchastral then Hot Rats it is more like Waka/Jawaka, and once again this album is superior in all the techincal ways of playing and composition and form, however the other two albums in the genra are favorites above this one. Doesnt make since does it. See while this one is most innovative and revolutionary it does not compare to the other albums as a whole.

+You like two chord riffs played ultra slow? Does that constitute a melody for you? If so, enjoy this. Adam Jones shows over and over why he's among the worst guitarists in hard rock; can he seriously NOT think of chord progressions with more than two, three chords? And do those chords have to be barre chords two frets from each other? And why is their drummer in this band?! I swear, he's the reason Tool fans like them so much; his fall down on the ground amazing drumming makes their dull, uninteresting songs SEEM like their doing about two dozen things, when really he's just doing all he can to make up for their stupidity.

+1594	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I am not sure where to begin. I have watched this video so many times since it was released in the early 1980s. I never get tired of it. There are so many great groups and songs it is really difficult to pick a favorite. This video made me a big fan of Darlene Love, I never realized how talented and versatile she was until I watched this tape. I really enjoyed The Angels,  Chantels, Ronettes, Exciters because you probably do not get the opportunity to see footage of these groups very often {except for the Ronettes}.My only negatives would be that a little too much time was devoted to The Supremes{ not that I did not enjoy watching them perform} and that a couple of the songs selected for a couple of the artists would not have been my choices. This is going to bring back so many memories. It almost makes you want to cry because that era has passed and very little has been preserved on video like garbage that is popular today. I buy this every year as Christmas gifts for my friends. They just love it. I am ordering another copy today. If you enjoyed the music of the early 60s don't pass this one up. I promise you will not be disappointed. PS I even found the commentary by the artists, songwriters, and producers to be very interesting. I just wish they would do a Volume 2.
+" Pretty Maids all in a row" is next. Had no idea this was Joe Walsh until I saw " Hell freezes over "
+And although there might be inevitable comparisons to Amanda Marshal, and Melissa Ethridge vocally, (I don't think that is a bad thing anyway) the band has an old fashioned fullness of sound that is mostly lacking in today's music, and some very tight harmonies.
+9. Set Me Free- you probably all know this song already from the movie "the hulk" and the radio...its a good song, if u like it, you'll enjoy this album :) 10/10
+They have some fun with some of the songs.  "Let it Snow" takes on a bit of a Polynesian flavor.  There is some dialog around it that is funny the first few times but does get annoying during repeated listening.  Still, the song is so great I put up with the dialog.  "Rudolph" is much more upbeat then normal and is absolutely fun.  And they have one of the only versions of "Christmas Time is Here" outside of the Charlie Brown special that I like.
+Also included on "Retrospective" is the Eric Burdon classic "Spill The WIne (Take That Girl)" that was an experiment with the band WAR who went on to have a fine career of their own. But, made their opening mark with Eric at the helm when he was on leave from the Animals. I am PLEASED it's included here even if it wasn't an 'Animals' hit, it was one of Eric's greats and is rarely included in any other greatest hits or retrospective packages and it takes it's place here without any protest from me but, a definite Thank You! It's long since been one of my favorites by Eric.
+The first single "Stinkfist", was the song which gained them the most commercial success back in 1996. Although the lyrical content is incredibly explicit, the guitar hooks are just too mesmerizing to ignore. However, the album's highest points are in "H", "46&2" and "Push It". These three songs exhibit Tool's skills in greater depth than others. "H" is a chilling, beautiful almost ballad-like song that captures the feelings of a dysfunctional relationship. Even though lyrically "46&2" is perhaps the most complex, musically, it's more alluring and straight forward than the rest. The album hits its climax in "Pushit", an immense epic journey that will easily take one's breath away. Furthermore, an even extended version of "Pushit" is in the last song, "Third Eye". This is the hardest song to digest in this album, but when one finally endures it, the rewards will make it all worthwhile.
+For the lady singers, we have Sutherland. We have lots of her in DVD, but this  one was shot when she was at her very prime and this is one of the most technically demanding arias wonderfully performed. We also have the "dramatic intensity" of Olivero which is shattering, not just overwhelming. Yes, there is also The American Beauty of the Metropol, Rise Stevens. This clip is gorgous both sound and sight...
+
+There are some great shots however, especially the side view of "Mr. Screen" during "Signs Of Life".  But this video unfortunately doesn't do the show justice.  It easily COULD do the show justice, if it were simply re-edited.  Mr. Isham is normally a great director so I hope he will re-edit this before releasing it on DVD.

There's not a really bad tune on this set.  Some are  absolutely wonderful.  "Faithful Heart" is a beautiful tribute to  love, and would make a wonderful wedding song.  "Say It to Me  Now" builds and builds to a tremendous emotional climax.  "Dance  With Me Slow" is sinuous, sexy, and touching.  "In the Time It  Takes" with Paul Carrack is a bouncy, fun up-tempo rocker.  "When  I Feel This Way" is Carly Simonish in its structure, but unique in its  vocal delivery and arrangement.

+Overall, this is an enjoyable and challenging routine. For those new to Kundalini yoga, it is important to understand that it differs from what is usually called hatha yoga; it is generally more dynamic, and the Breath of Fire is a unique component. Green Energy does contain more recognizable hatha postures than in some of Ravi and Ana's previous releases; in that sense, it might be a good crossover practice. However, I would definitely recommend Green Energy for experienced yoga practitioners only, especially given that there are no included pre-sets offering shorter/easier workout selections (although the matrix feature is a nice option if you feel comfortable sequencing your own yoga practice).

This proves the beginning of the breakdown of art when assimilated with the American mainstream.  Instead of pointing fingers, why don't we praise this album!
+  Opening with a startling Narrative, the album hurls you along a ride and doesn't really let up until "Rebel Rebel". Don't get me wrong, I love the song and it is a major hit, but it just seems so incredibly out of place with the rest of the album. "Rock and Roll with me" starts leaning back towards the feel of the album, and by "We are the Dead" you are back again. Hmm, maybe it was meant to keep you from getting to bogged down in it all. Ah well, whatever the intention, the album is just great. I listen to all my Bowie albums straight through, and this is no exception. A classic from start to finish, and not to be missed. Many claim this is a great introduction to Bowie, but I'm not sure. Here's the thing to do with any Bowie album. No matter how much of a fan I am of Bowie, the first time I hear a new album, I don't like it. Knowing this, I listen to it a second time and love it, in fact, the new album is ususally my new favorite. No matter how much you hate any Bowie album at first, listen to it again. And love it.

+Comparisons to Gershwin and Porter were also being tossed around when "Imperial Bedroom" first came out, one suspects they had more to do with overzealous critics trying to make associations with "serious music" than to the obvious merits of Elvis' songwriting prowess. The debt to Tin Pan Alley ("The Long Honeymoon") is truly there. But the lyrical jabs and jibes are still pure Costello, and a line like "In a private detective overcoat and dirty deadman's shoes" would be perfect for that kind of stage production cross.

And if you have the money enough you might just want to get the Japanese version, also available [...] in DVD, because it has two more GREAT videos for Alarm Call and All Is Full Of Love that truely finish off the video and are, just like the others, unique pieces of fabulous art and fun personality which radiates from Bjork to give them the great life they have. GO BJORK!!

This album speaks in a special way leaving no room for doubt with "THANKS FOR THE MEMORY", the Bob Hope signature theme is a real treat that Clooney completely overwhelms her fans with ~ "A NIGHTINGALE SANG IN BERKELEY SQUARE", only Rosie's rare talent and distinctive voice could make this tune a hit again ~ "BEWITCHED, BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED", the unforgettable Rodgers & Hart song from "Pal Joey", a musical moment perfectly performed by Clooney taking us back in time ~ "DAYS OF WINE & ROSE" along with "EASY LIVING", blends warmth and her joy of singing, she's at the top of her form.

+Here is where the confusion lies. Tool is not a heavy metal band. They defy the verse chorus verse onslaught of this genre. This isn't armagedon whereby the listener is treated to wave after wave of explosions. Tool is more like a rattle snake, spitting, shaking, tensing and then finally biting your f~c(ing head off in the final exchange. This will bore listeners with a short attention span whilst completely enthralling the patient listeners. Most of Tool's crushing blows come in the final moments of their songs, which is obviously missed by people who tend to skip tracks halfway on their easily accessible ipods. I know, I too was guilty of this the first time round. But it was my brothers persistance that eluded me to the fact that I need to listen start to finish.

+Bowie has always been uneven in concert. He has done some spectacular live work. But others are real bad. I saw him on the next tour, where he was the soul singing, soft shoe dancer. The warm up "act" was the movie Andelusian Dog by Salavador Dali. Then Bowie performed for only hour. He was dressed in a tuxedo and tapped danced, instead of putting any effort into his singing or the music. It was all a great disappointment (maybe because the acid never kicked in). I also saw him on his "Hits" tour (where he promised this would be the last time he ever sang his old hits). It was at the Erwin Center in Texas. Our company got free tickets at the last minute, because Bowie wanted to fill the stands. They were doing a live feed to the Grammys and they didn't want a bunch of empty seats. That, too, was a fairly unremarkable show...just a run through of the hits.

It's quite amusing to see the clips from the 80's with the strong focus on group dance movements. Also interesting to see Janet battle with weight issues through the years. In some clips her face is so chubby! The songs from "Control" are very dated now, sounding very synethised and lacking what I would call a nice melody ... but they are still fun to listen to now and again. Janet's solo career really started to mature with "Rythmn Nation" where great songs like "Love will never do without you"  and "Alright" were released.  After that album, we got even more mature sounds with "That's the way love goes" and "Runaway".

+It would also be nice to get some bonus tracks inlcuded.
+The lyrics are mostly about relationships, a couple of them good, the majority flawed. "Gaslighting Abbie" opens with "One plush summer you came to me ripe and ready/And bad through and through." That's a promising start, and the rest of the song seems to describe a rather surreal vacation at "...a big old place...One summer by the sea." Later, on track 4, we hear about a stimulating companion: "Who makes the traffic interesting/Rescues a dreary Sunday/Who makes me feel like painting again/Honey it's you - Janie Runaway". But then, things take a turn for the worse. "Almost Gothic" introduces an enigmatic and irresistible woman: "I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies/But I just stand there hypnotized/I'll just have to make it work somehow/I'm in the amen corner now/It's called love - I spell L-U-V". The "Jack Of Speed" is someone to avoid: "He's changed - yes indeed...he'll be callin' out your name/But don't stop - when you hear him plead". "Cousin Dupree" is enthralled by his cousin Janine, who does not reciprocate: "She turned my life into a living hell/In those little tops and tight capris". The "Negative Girl" jerks people around: "I wait - I smoke/I stare into my coke/It's happening again/I tell myself that it's over and done, amen...maybe she gets to me when she comes back down". With friends like these, who needs enemies? But I think the point is that relationships are seldom perfect, and you just play the cards that fate deals to you, and make your choices. The real beauty of Steely Dan's lyrics lies in lines like "You be the showgirl and I'll be Sinatra", "That right wing hooey sure stunk up the joint", "What's so strange about a down-home family romance?", and "She was Anne de Si&egrave;cle". Smart, in every sense of the word.

Silly, as this may sound, I based my purchase on hearing Sober from the Undertow album. After heading home, and firing it in the CD player, I was assaulted by the heavy bass line and haunting vocals. Quite simply, this album touches so many nerves and illicits so many thoughts and feelings that it is almost a Modern Poe to Heavy Metal. This may sounds a bit over the top, but for me, the lyrics themselves, combined with Maynards heart-felt delivery cut me to the bone and leave me wanting more.

+What we have instead is an amazing ensemble of an orchestra but one that I would call a hard rock orchestra.  Before I scare off anyone that doesn't like hard rock, stick around, it's not hard rock.  This album in the rock world is what's known as a 'concept' album.  In the liner notes there is an amazing story that almost brought my wife to tears and the music goes with that story. The music is upbeat and yet somehow traditional even though it's very different.  There is nothing even remotely close to being boring about any track on this album.  A personal favorite is track #8 - it's impossible to listen to this track and stay still.  The ultimate compliment I can give to how great Trans-Siberian Orchestra is is the fact that after listening to this album we went out and bought all of their other albums without knowing anything about them!

Even the traditional blues songs have little quirks that take them out of the normal 5-bar variety.  Then there's the live part.  There has never been a 3 piece band who could improvise/jam together like these guys.  For the average listener these songs may sound like one long drone (and Baker's long drum solo and Bruce's harmonica rant may well qualify) but the interplay on "Spoonful" and "Crossroads" is amazing.  This is where Clapton ascended to the throne of Guitar God.  His live lead breaks on "Crossroads" are the best in rock and roll history.  It's not the vocals, bass or drums that keep that song playing perpetually on classic rock stations the world over.  It's that incredible flowing guitar.

Nonetheless, Zappa still puts out a constructive effort, this time focusing  more on compositional structures as opposed to lunacy. A lot of the tracks  are similar to what was done on Lumpy Gravy, presenting a symphony of  snorts, glisses, pitch alteration, and othertimes resembling Stavinsky's  Rite of Spring. The tracks that stand out the most are: "Electric Aunt  Jemina," with it's bubblegum texture; "Mr. Green Genes,"  which was later reprised on Hot Rats as "Son of Mr. Green Genes;"  "Dog Breath" sporting 40 tracks of overdubbed percussion echoing  Edgard Varese; and finally "King Kong" and its 5 different  reworkings by each bandmember.

The disc also features an all star backing band featuring Lucky Peterson ("Double Dealin'") on piano, Michael Coleman ("Do Your Thing!") on guitar, Johnny B. Gayden on Bass and Ray "Killer" Allison on drums.  Gayden and Allison are stalwarts of the blues and have backed up the likes of Johnny Winter, Son Seal, Larry McCray, Dave Hole, Buddy Guy and Don Griffin.  The CD does an excellent job of maintaining cohesiveness, highlighting and then blending the various styles and vocals of these individuals without elevating the songs to jam status.  While the disc does not break new ground, there is a lot of fun here.
+to Collide is easily one of their best. I wanted to say that immediately so if you only read the first few lines you'll have read that this album is incredible. The opening track "Rebirth" sets up the formula for the album:Strong,Deep lyrics with crunchy,powerful guitars and soaring melodic strings."The Last Night" continues this with it's lyrics about the pain that pushes people to self-destructive behavior like Cutting. The album's first ballad "Your's To Hold" has nice acoustic guitar while John Cooper sings about how he longs for the embrace of his girlfriend or God(it could be taken either way).Things kick back up on "Better Then Drugs" a song comparing the love of God to wine and drugs. While this could be taking the wrong way,it is doubtful because the song is obviously talking about the awesome love of God that is much more of a high then ANY drug."Comatose" is an absolute album highlight with it's great guitars and great lyrics asking for God to awaken from spiritual slumber."The Older I Get" is another ballad and also an album highlight as John sings about thoughts of a failed relationship. The punk-rock infused "Those Nights" is catchy and hard at the same time while talking about tough times and how God gets us through. Possibly the best track on the album "Falling In The Black" is about difficulty and depression as John sings "I'm fallin' in the black/slippin' through the cracks/fallin' in the depths/can I ever go back?" Excellent Guitar work and strings also boost this song higher."Yours To Hold" is the final ballad on the album and is just as good as the first two."Whispers In The Dark" features some incredible guitar licks with lyrics about God calling out to us."Entertaining Angels" closes out the album in admirable fashion. This song uses spoken verses and sung choruses to illustrate (along with more crunching guitars) how people are looking for a helping hand and the need for people to be angels. All in all,Skillet's sixth studio album proves to be a highlight as a whole and requires no track-skipping. It's March 2013 and if you don't already have this album,I strongly urge you,no no,I demand that you purchase this album right away!

From the epic Cambridge 1969 (running a wonderfully epic 26 1/2 minutes), the creepy No Bed for Beatle John, and the John Cage tribute Two Minutes Silence (it is NOT the best song on the album because Yoko shuts up, as some reviewers have said), it's an album you are not likely to forget.  Reportedly, it was made after Yoko's miscarriage, accounting for the agony.  The stuff that nightmares and pain are made of.  Yoko's vocals on this album are some of her best work.  John's distorted guitar compliments them superbly (especially on Cambridge 1969).  This is the best of the "Unfinished Music" albums (Two Virgins and Wedding Album being the other two).

"Field of Dreams" has the ability to make one laugh and cry.  It is both sweet and timid; it is both hearty and alive; it is both beautiful and complex.  Every time I listen to it, weather it's booming to life in Track 2 ("Deciding to Build the Field") or meekly stepping out of the shadows in Track 6 ("The Drive Home"), I get swept up in the emotional weight that it carries.  This is film score music at its best.

You can clearly hear the featured instrument, the piano, but  unfortunately, only minor attention is paid to the backup instruments in the group, except for a few drum and guitar solos. I did not notice any bass solos at all. Sometimes, the backup instruments seem to be playing in the next room, somewhere in the distance. A little more sound volume balance among the instruments would have been nice, seeing as how this is a recognized quartet and not a solo piano performance.

+4362	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is a fine video of the pipes and drums of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers & Greys) The band performs various selections at famous historical sites throughout Scotland.  World reknowned for their original hit "Amazing Grace" back in 1972, the Royal Scots DGs have been active in the recording world over the years since.  Unfortunately the pipes and drums soldier on now without their famous military band.  The band was downsized in 1994 and has become a slightly larger divisional band known as the Dragoon Guards band, with links to several regiments besides the Royal Scots DGs.  While the video is still good with just the pipes and drums, in my opinion it could have been so much better if the band was still around.  Too bad they did not try and use the Dragoon Guards band as well. Some of the arrangements with key boards and the like are just not the same, although the Royal Scots DGs show that they are still innovative in trying out new sounds and combinations, just as they use to be when they had the military band.  There is a CD which accompanies this recording as well, although with slight variations in the music selected.  Listeners will enjoy seeing one of the top pipe bands of the British army going through their paces on this video, and the scenery shots of the band on location are impressive.  Pipe band people should also enjoy as well.

+Simon Townshend, initially brought into The Who for the 1996-97 tour, returned to the group in 2002 to add background vocals that the cigarette-loving Entwistle, according to Pete Townshend, could no longer provide. Simon Townshends background vocals and supporting guitar work have been essential to The Who over the last 15 years. His voice on Magic Bus on Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 2004 is an impressive, perfect fit for the modern-day Who.

+8921	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Hi guys! I'm just one of those hated Jazz snobs the last reviewer was talking about. Just Joking! But I'm really into Jazz old and new, that is my cup of tea. But I like Zappa's music too, because IT IS JAZZ for the most part (at least in albums like this one). I am completly aware that Zappa was a very talented music writer, intelligent and creative even if sometimes over indulgent with himself. But absolutly not here. And anyway we have to recognize that he produced an incredible amount of music in his lifetime and that he couldn't write only masterpieces of course, noone could. But here he did it! This is a masterpiece. Without any doubt. It's an instrumental album very entertaining, very sharp, not too much absurd (still considering it's a Zappa's record so a little it is but in a positive very refreshing way!). I love Zappa's instrumental music. He's so into the future. His music will always be light years ahead of our time. Varese, Barthok, dodecaphonic music meets Jazz harmonic sophistication and pulse and rock aggression. Plus the Z factor. The ZAPPA factor, his weird but extremely fascinating personality. The records that are much focused on his musical ideas instead of his irony and grotesque are the ones that I really prefer. This is one of the best. The opener or the last tune here for example are sooooooo good! But this whole album is a masterpiece in music! He was so great when he wrote things like these ... I'm listening to this album right now for the thousand time ... 4.00 of the first tune .. just a word, fantastic.
+"Don't Put Your Hands On Me" and "Bad Case Of Loving You" are excellent, no reservations, and so are the originals "63 Year Old Mama" and "Put The Pot On".

+6021	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is the album that wonderfully and lovingly summarizes the best of the Beach Boys. Although not strictly considered a greatest hits album, it is essentially that, a sequentially ordered regurgitation of each of their releases, most of them, of course, monster hits. It is all here, folks, from the original number "Surfing Safari'" to "Surfer Girl", from "Catch A Wave" (which Jan and Dean later stole the melody and chord progressions for "Sidewalk Surfing", a major hit for them) to "The Warmth Of The Sun". yet the Beach Boys really weren't about surfing or even the relaxed southern California lifestyle. What they were about was fell-good music, a kind of instant nostalgia for a Hollywood-type confection. While I have always loved listening to Beach Boy music, I have never taken any of their music seriously, at least not in the way one would consider the Beatles or any of a number of singer-songwriters.

+Highly recommended.
+Being Jewish AND German, I can appreciate the notion that there was another, truer Germany that existed along with the Nazis, and that men like Furtwaengler were needed to keep its values alive. (Only recently has a German Resistance been acknowledged).Had he not stayed and used his influence whenever he could, the Berlin Philharmonic might not exist today, and something like 108 people might not have survived the war. On a personal level, however, I now wish that he had left, for his own sake, and could have avoided the irresponsible vilifications that he still, posthumously, undergoes at the hands of people who won't look beneath the surface. But like Frau Schoenberg, I will hold Furtwaengler dear in my heart, no matter what slander is thrown in his way.

+2739	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This dvd is has a excellent print of the children.  It's a decent horror movie that is creepy and low budget. The gore effects are quite good though.  I don't agree at all that this is a terrible movie. In fact it's a quite horrible idea that your kids would kill you at that age. And this explains how parents would be easy prey for killer kids.  They wouldn't believe it till it was too late.  The acting is quite decent and this british film has nothing to be ashamed about.  It's hard for me to rate a decent horror movie badly when it's low budget. What do viewers expect when they buy low budget horror? Masterpieces of cinema?  A few become that but to be fair how many A movies are bad and they have lots of money? The violence when it comes is pretty graphic and this movie is not for children. It takes about half the movie for the violence to start but who cares?  Movies tell a story and not every horror movie can be fast moving action fests. Those are fine too; but movies are NOT video games and I don't expect insant gratification from them.  So for me I enjoyed this movie and was creeped out by it quite nicely.  I just wish the other  movie of the same name the 1980 cult hit  'the children' was on a dvd with this  nice a print.  That one is pure low budget cult flick  heaven.
+ But the lesser-known tracks on "Born In The USA" are what makes it so memorable. "Darlington County" tells the tale of a couple of ne'er-do-well carpetbagging Yankees heading down South for work (a tradition which of course has made the South what it is today). "Working On The Highway" is a road gang prisoner's parable of romancing the wrong girl in the wrong town...and its consequences; Johnny Cash would no doubt have been proud. "No Surrender" and "Bobby Jean" are throwbacks to the '70's era bombast found in Springsteen AOR classics like "Born To Run" and "Rosalita", but "Bobby Jean" is especially touching in that it is a literal farewell to longtime E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt.

+9988	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This collection of three discs contains live recordings of the very best barbershop quartets from 1990-1996.  And if you enjoy barbershop quartet singing, then these tracks will surely be a delight for you.  Most of the songs are classic barbershop arrangements, delivered with vocal excellence, blend, charisma, panache and a bit of humor.  There were a few quartets that get a bit pitchy, which is the great limitation of live recordings.  And there were a few other quartets who were apparently especially enamored with themselves and decided to turn every single note of their songs into an extended fermata, which may be charming to some folks but seemed a bit pompous and unnecessary to me.  But with those few exceptions, this collection contains three discs of barbershop virtuosity.  I have loved listening to it over the years and recommend it to anyone with an appreciation or even just a curiosity about barbershop singing.

(chills! ) This version of "But It's A Nice Dream" sounds like a different take than the ones I heard over the opening and closing credits of KISS ME GOODBYE. Is this a 3rd version?
+If I understand the description right, we get almost two hours of the background I was asking for, BUT NOT THE CONCERT ITSELF.
+The opener "Fantastic Voyage" is excellent, almost an overture to the rest of the LP, acting like an updated song from "Three Penny Opera". A cousin to "5 Years". "African Night Flight" has often been sited as bizarre but its one of the best tracks on Lodger (if not in his career) that puts an agressive view to world music, just like the Talking Heads would do in Remain In Light a year later. The rest of the songs travel in and out foreign lands, haphazzard fashions, regret and sexual politics (of being a boy and abuse). "Repetition" is one of the most point blank views on marital abuse ever (which was later cover by the feminist punkers The Au Pairs). The voyage ends on a sour prediction about the decade greed that was to come our way in the 1980s ("Red Money").

+7929	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I own several versions of this concerto, arguably Mozart's finest.  Soltzman's is absolutely terrible.  I have always had an issue with his sound - his tone is harsh, nasal, and not suited to any music that requires delicate phrasing and beauty.  David Shifrin, on the other hand, is an absolutely brilliant artist.  An artistic director for the New York Philharmonic and director of several music festivals, David Shifrin is a deeply committed musician.  And it shows in these sensitive readings of the Mozart concerto and quintet.  His tone is absolutely astounding.  It's sweet, mellow, and delightful to listen to.  He uses an extended-range clarinet as Mozart intended and the result is delightful.  This is a wonderful CD and, as a clarinetist, I cannot recommend it more highly.

The mastering for this album is fantastic, except that this edition omits the extended "Didja Git Any On Ya"; I wonder why.  Also, I want to note to others who really like the jam called "Orange County Lumber Truck" that, if you really like that bit of instrumentation by this particular group of Mothers, seek out a copy of a disk called MOTHERS AHEAD OF THEIR TIME which contains the full jam; it cooks!  Hopefully, some of these missing pieces will end up on their own compilation or we will indeed see a reissue of the afore-mentioned MOTHERS AHEAD OF THEIR TIME disk!
+The previously unreleased songs are more of a mixed bag. "The Haunted Can Be Free" and "World Behind My Face" are fun, but nothing special. "It's Hard to Write a Love Song," (no relation to "Drowning") though, is a real treat...it rambles, but it sounds like it could've easily fit on the album had it received an arrangement.
+1072	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	There is no possible way you can give this a one star review for its awfulness, because there's just no point.

It'll just ruin everything. Now I must say Shatner wasn't quite as bad as he seems with the poetry filler, but I just listened to this album a month ago and haven't stopped laughing. Trust me, with 'Mr. Tambourine Man' and 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' in your life, done in the drunk-as-hell Shatner style, you'll live longer.

+My, has time ever changed my opinion of this album! How anyone could listen to this album as well as his latest release, Rit's House", and not count Rit as a pure jazz great is beyond belief.

+The second of this set I give Four Stars.
+My only complaint is that the Doyle Lawson years (1971 through 1979) are represented by a mere four songs. [That's Lawson singing lead on "Dixieland for Me."] That quibble aside, this is a fine collection and an enjoyable introduction to this amazing band. [Running Time - 72:16] VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
+The twenty-four page booklet that comes with the CD is so fat that it doesn't fit into the case very well. It's FULL of extras that include behind the scene clips, story-board sketches and comments from Williams and Spielberg. But the real gem is the music critiques by Lukas Kendall. He goes through each track explaining the music piece and the movie scene it accompanies. This is quite amusing and any one who is a fan of the movie or of John Williams will take pleasure in reading it. All in all it has a seamless way of giving the score its due credit. I couldn't say it any better myself and suggest that you get it and read it on your own.
+So how are the songs themselves? Well, they rule! As I said before, the title track bombed as a single (by Bowie's standards at the time anyway), but it really shouldn't have - sure, it's long and nihilistic, but it's brimming with energy, but it has some of David's finest lyrics; great guitar-horn interplay (sounds more than a bit like "Honky Tonk Woman"); and a danceable beat. The most glammy song is easily the power ballad "Rock and Roll with Me", with a screaming, watery guitar part - it's a big high point, as is the sleazy gender-blender "Rebel, Rebel", a major hit. I already brought up the "Sweet Thing" suite in passing, and I love that, too - a near nine-minute tale of S&M, drug abuse, and general debauchary, it's also loaded with hooks and compelling vocals.
+For example, the 2 songs that move me the most are "When You Lover Has Gone" because of the late Michael Brecker's synthesizer (the specific machine that he used is aptly named in the booklet credits).  He would use the very same instrumentation on 1990's "Have You Seen Me Lately?" and 1993's "Voulez-Vous Danser."  The other song that deeply moved me was "My Funny Valentine."  Michael also plays the saxophone on "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered."

+The album also harbours the mystical "Pushit", something Tool would further explore on Lateralus; the killer title track with its snaky rhythms and socially observant lyrics; the dissonant "(-) Ions", complete with wind effects and numbing guitar drills. The CD ends on a curious note, with the almost fifteen-minute number "Third Eye", which starts with an excerpt from famous comedian Bill Hicks (to whom this album is dedicated) commenting on the positive effects of drugs on artists before delving deep into siren-like guitars, sparse drum beats, and the anti-song aesthetic of progressive rock instrumentation. Adam Jones' guitar work is at the centre of the piece, and he fearlessly unleashes an abrasive sonic assault, utilising tons of guitar feedback and somewhat tuneless interludes. Maynard's singing is intense and angry as he spews the lyrics with utter disgust, especially in the final verse.

However, I believe this attractive yellow vinyl re-edition is not a bad issue if you want to have a nice-price good copy on classic vinyl format of one of the best albums and rock musical works from the end of the last millennium. Definitely TOOL's Aenima is considered today as an essential item for a basic or extensive rock collection and an important several rock genres reference work (alternative, progressive, heavy metal). I met and bought the album on CD in 1996, when it came out, and now I keep listening and enjoying it as if I had never before heard it, and acquire this good, attractive and sound-acceptable LP re-edition is a great and important bonus in my  rising vinyl collection.

Upon repeated listenings I appreciated the intricacies and detail of the rich and sonically complex harmonies these guys write (Fagen arranged it all, and it shows his perfection in each song). Of course Dan is known for the EXCELLENT sound of their studio CD's, and I highly recommend the DVD audio edition, which on my 5.1 surround DVD player speakers sounds like heaven.
+This is a great hard rock cd even if you don't like their previous bands. This release has 4 top 20 hits and is their best cd in the opinion of most fans those hits are:Slither, Fall to Pieces,Dirty little thing,Set me Free. Other top 20 hits you might wish to buy are Come on, Come in(from fantastic 4 sound track),The Last Fight(possibly my fav song by them), She builds quick machines.

Unlike the double-vinyl release of the same show, this DVD rendering sounds like it was recorded thorugh a telephone. The DVD is, in fact, an excellent document of historical stuffs, but it suffers as a source of entertainment.

My favorite song is Angry Angel, which sounds a lot like Tori at a part.. Then Rake it In, which my friends describe her singing as "Marilyn Manson and Tori Amos" (it gets SO SCARY at one point, it almost sounds like death metal without the guitars.. but it's fun).

+The title song "Touch" is the opening number and was a big hit back in its day.  It still sounds fresh today.  "Sleeping Eyes" is riveting full of soul with John on the sax and Dave Grusin on the keyboards.  Other musicians that round out the group are two from Tom Scott's L.A. Express.  "Body Pulse" is pretty hot.  "Tone Row Weaver" begins very toned-down but hold on as it builds into an 8-minute long seering number.

Anyway, the sound is phenomenal and you can close your eyes and really feel like you are at the concert.  Of coures that would defeat the purpose of a dvd, which will inevitably dissapoint those hoping for 5 star quality.  You won't find that quality here, but no worry.  You've got Pulse.  Enjoy it.
+Taking the opinion of a fellow top 1000 reviewer, I agree that the video of "Rain" is beautiful. Madonna looks so different, and if she only knew how good she looks with her short, dark pixie hair.
+Palao working with Nick Robbins has remastered these tracks from the original master tapes and, in some instances, also providing true stereo mixes for some songs for the first time. This is an exceptional set. The sound is also pretty darn good for the set. One could quibble about some of the mastering choices but, on the whole, the albums included here "Begin Here" and "Odyssey and Oracle" both sound clearer than ever before.
+Apart from 1994's Talk Tour, Yes really hadn't toured to heavily support a new studio album in quite some time when they embarked on The Ladder Tour in the fall of 1999.  For the most part, Yes' touring in the 90s was more about playing the oldies and maybe a track or two from a new studio album.  That is why this is probably one of the best DVDs of the band because it not only shows a band proud of their past work, but also energetic and proud about their new work.  _The Ladder_ was a very good album and the band performs lively, passionate versions of "The Messenger", "Face to Face", and "Lightning Strikes", as well as the excellent "Homeworld" and "It Will Be A Good Day", the latter of which features a blistering outro guitar solo from Howe that is not found on the studio version.  It's great to have songs from _The Ladder_ represented on a DVD concert performance.  In addition, the extra bonus feature is very good as it shows the band in the studio, and interviews nearly every member of the band and producer Bruce Fairbairn.  And if you're not a fan of _The Ladder_, this DVD is not without the classics/epics.  "Roundabout", "Yours Is No Disgrace", "Owner of a Lonely Heart", "And You And I", and "I've Seen All Good People" are all here.  Yes also pulled out some songs that had not been played in a while such as "Perpetual Change", "Awaken", and the 90125 instrumental "Cinema."  I was only disappointed that the DVD (and accompanying live album) didn't include "Hearts" which was also performed live during this tour.

I cannot sing (ha ha) enough praises of this group to do them justice. "On Fire" and "Beyond Belief" are my favorite Schlitt-era albums, followed then by "Unseen Power" and "This Means War." I am a really big Def Leppard fan, and Petra provides a nice alternative for those of us who figure out the coded, less-than-kosher lyrics of some secular groups. On Fire is a terrific precursor to the aptly named Beyond Belief; you can really get an idea of what was to come on their next album ("normal" album, I should say. The praise one from '89 I put in a separate camp because it's...well, I just don't think of it as an album). The CD starts with a bang and really doesn't stop, except for a ballad or two along the way, which is fine. All bands need a few ballads. Everyone's shining as usual, but I tend to especially note Ronny's bass on "All Fired Up" and John's raw vocals for "Minefield" as the stand-outs for supreme musicianship this album.

This series of Prestige recordings is draw-dropping jazz; I defy anyone to listen to 'My Funny Valentine' and not be profoundly moved.  Red Garland has been much maligned as a 'cocktail pianist' and has been overshadowed by Bill Evans and Herbie Hancock in the Annals of Jazz Revisionism.  But it's Garland's sublime light touch that sets Miles up for that rasping whisper at the top of the mix.  For me, this is Miles at his beautiful best -- it is the album I come back to time and time again.  Get the whole series (Cookin', Steamin', Relaxin' etc) it is the greatest jazz education you could ever wish for.  Play it in the bath.  Float away for ever.

+Now, onto how I rate the album in the discography of Tool. This is my SECOND favorite album, behind Lateralus. Both albums are drenched in creativity, but to me, the sole weak track on this album is worse than the weak track on Lateralus. 'Ticks and Leeches' is better than 'Jimmy'. And the other deciding factor - the trilogy that ends Lateralus is f-ing phenomenal. Not that this album doesn't merit attention. This album trumps the previous work of Paul D'amour with Justin Chancellor, awesome packaging, wonderful arrangements, and to me - the firdt full-on combination of heavy music and philosophy. We've got the ingenious theories of Terrence McKenna, Bill Hicks, and Timothy Leary taking on the questionable teachings of MTV and L. Ron Hubbard. Need I say more?

+When Jennifer Warnes released this collection of Cohen songs, she was preeminently qualified to do so, having performed with Cohen both in concert and on recordings as a back up singer. Here she put together a wonderful selection of Cohen's finest songs and reinterpreted them from a female perspective. On some songs this took minimal efforts, such as "Joan of Arc." In concert Cohen had often had either Warnes of Julie Christensen to sing the part of Joan, while taking the part of fire himself. This is, however, the one studio recording that presents how Cohen performs the song life, Warnes becoming a tragic Joan and Cohen joining on her the album to be her fire. Cohen also gave Warnes one of his best songs to debut, "First We Take Manhattan." It is a glorious, bizarre, fierce attack on eighties cultural pretensions, provocatively bathing it in fascist imagery, a song that proved that Cohen, who was at the time this album was released was considered past his prime, could still pen a magnificent song. "Song of Bernadette" is another highlight on the album, but my favorite number on the album is Warnes's extraordinary cover of the album's title cut, "Famous Blue Raincoat." Cohen sang it originally as a 4 a.m. letter to his wife's seducer, who has left NYC to live elsewhere. The calm and cool exterior of the words belies the hidden pain and passion that have caused him to write. As Warnes sings it, she becomes not the offended party, but a concerned, saddened friend of all. The shift in viewpoint alters the song entirely. And Warnes sings it with all the power of a great chanteuse.
+6988	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	It's about time these early albums were released again on CD.  This one is superb, and may actually surprise you.  Most of us think of Lefty Frizzel when we hear Keith Whitley.  And Ricky Skaggs is often considered the father of new generation/mainstream bluegrass.  But, with this album, you'll hear Keith Whitley handle the lead vocals and guitar work on 12 numbers.  And folks, Keith can pick a guitar.....and his voice was pure bluegrass without even a hint of Lefty!  The harmonies and mandolin provided by Ricky are phenomenal.  The album begins with "Dont Cheat in Our Hometown", a song that Ricky would later release as a solo act, and continues through a few brilliant instrumentals, and some of the finest bluegrass you will ever hear, including:  "Poor Monroe", "Those Two Blue Eyes", and "Memories of Mother".  This CD was released by Rebel Records in 1990, and the recording is excellent.  Give it a listen.
+7992	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Following their wonderful UNHALFBRICKING album, Fairport Convention re-directed their music along a "trad. arr. Fairport" path, resulting first with the LIEGE & LIEF album which began a (mostly) downward spiral with each subsequent release.  Fairport wouldn't sound *really* good again until 3/5 of Fotheringay joined Fairport in 1974.  Sandy left Fairport after LIEGE and formed Fotheringay, a ramshackle outfit (need proof? Listen to some of their live stuff) which managed to capture a good part of the magic of the pre-fiddling Fairport.  FOTHERINGAY is a freewheeling mix of Denny originals, Dylan & Lightfoot covers and a couple of excellent traditional tunes, picking up right where UNHALFBRICKING ended.  Jerry Donahue's graceful and fluid lead guitar, along with the rock-solid rhythm section of Pat Donaldson & Gerry Conway provided terrific backing for Sandy & Trevor's vocals.  FOTHERINGAY is the missing link between pre-LIEGE Fairport and Sandy's subsequent solo career and is highly recommended to fans of early Fairport.

+My personal feeling is that Bowie barely put a foot wrong in the 1970s. Following albums such as STATION TO STATION, LOW and HEROES are also classics, and well worth buying. What amazes me is that Bowie is still a cult figure in 2005, despite the fact that in the quarter-century since 1980, his CDs have been a very mixed bag. Most have been, at best, mediocre.

+Aside from the video imagery and the pacing, there is the fact that the production makes use of realistic sound effects, especially the the flat, popping sound that real gunshots have when recorded, and the familiar sound of voices just off-mike, discernible but muffled.
+8)  Superhuman - This sounds like dirtied-up Guns n' Roses.  A deep, pulsing bassline and a classic backbeat from Sorum (the off-beat hi-hat work sounds great) drive the song.  Muscular sound, with lots of low-end power.  Slash's riff complements the low-end really well.  10/10
+There's a short film to rap everything up and then everything's done. A rather good video to get if you want to see the visual side of Depeche Mode ( or if you just want to see them ). A video that is recommended to anybody that is interested in either the band or maybe even film students who want to capture the essence of visuals.
+The title track is dripping raindrops of beauty along with the warm & welcoming "What About You."  I listen to this music every day in my car on the way to work, and it calms and refreshes me.

If this were the only Black Sabbath album those who made it would have reason to be proud. Some of the songs on Cross Purposes come close to being both epic and strangely relevant. On the song 'Cross of Thorns', something about the singing or the song itself reminds one vaguely of the earlier Ronnie James Dio song, 'Egypt (The Chains are On)'? If not, both songs at least share a similar theme or subject? We'll go with, 'so called' subject.

To me bluray releases should be true to their intended video quality in high definition.  Anything else is just a quick money grab. For this release, video is upscale which is a shame but audio is lossless(good). I'm fully aware that is a standard definition release which is good that the label indicates but again bluray releases in my opinion should never be this way. As an audio/videophile, you can understand why I berate this item.

+3807	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I can't think of another musical artist that has really explored the potential  that video artistry can provide. Other artists may have an even greater output (Madonna, Michael Jackson), but most of their videos don't really lend themselves to viewing multiple times (not to mention their music isn't as interesting either). Even artists that are more interesting musically (i.e. New Order, Depeche Mode) only occassionally put out a really good video.  This is about the only video compilation that I'd watch from beginning to end without interruption. Mind you, not everyone will like every video. There's a wide range of styles, from an artificial (Jacque Demy influenced) musical dance number to a cartoon to CGI enhanced sci-fi. I won't go into the details of the individual videos, since many already have. I will, however, comment about my big gripe about this dvd: the quality of the presentation. The sound is actually very good, with stereo for all tracks or the option for 5.1 on those tracks that had originally been mastered in that format (Vespertine era). The big problem for me is that the dvd is mastered for full screen TVs. When you select the "Play all" option, it looks like a VHS tape.  Image quality is nowhere where it should be. To add to that more than half of the videos are actually widescreen, so you have the black bars on the screen of your screen & bars (sometimes actually a darkish gray color) across the top, cutting down the resolution significantly (about 1/2 of my screen is wasted by the letterboxing).  Because of this, I suspect the DVD was mastered from a VHS tape, though the quality is much better than many such tape transfers, so I can't be sure. The other disappointment is that the menus/extras  presentation is rather poor, much more could have been done with this, hence I deducted a star from what should have been a 5 star release.

But even had his untimely death not occurred so soon after this was shot, this evocative treatment would have made complete sense.

Allin may have been extremely destructive to himself and others (and yes Todd Phillips does kind of use his subjects in this film-so what, so did Warhol) but G.G. made the most of his life, albeit in a sick and twisted way. However, he really lived the life, not just making up hateful and obscene rhymes like Eminem and then backing down and saying it was a misunderstanding, G.G. Allin (though musically without talent)was a blast of raw hatred that promised "to put the danger in rock and roll". Yeah I wouldn't have wanted to meet the guy either but Hated is far more therapeutic than any "chicken soup for the" series.

+Working from the pretext that they could experiment like the Beatles did, each song was tinkered and toyed with till (as you can hear in the comparisons to the bonus disc's demo versions)  they barely resembled their original ideas. It made the original album's side one a song suite of near "Sgt. Pepper" proportions, with the standout of "Man Out Of Time" marking the perfect bridge between the Elvis of old and the Elvis of new.

+The Zombie Heaven box set delivers another BIG surprise.  When they broke up, they still had enough unreleased material recorded to make up another album nearly as good as Odessey and Oracle.

"She Loves the Way They Love Her", "Imagine the Swan", "Girl Help Me", "I Could Spend the Day" and "Smokey Day" rank with the best work the group ever produced, and if not for the release of this set, would have been all but forgotten.

When everybody else was just posing and pretending GG was living his music of pain, torment, and suffering.  The camera captures everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) in this documentary from GG beating up fans to bloodying himself with a microphone to deficating on stage and rubbing it all over himself and eating it to GG letting a female friend urinate in his mouth.  And one other thing GG didn't discriminate there is footage of him beating up a woman at a spoken word performance in Boston.  GG Allin hated everybody, most of all himself.  He had no home, one shirt and one pair of pants.  Hated also describes GG's relationship with John Wayne Gacy, the famed serial killer.  The movie is great but there is also 50 extra minutes of GG Allin's final performance on the eve of his death at the Gasoline Alley in NYC which ended with 2 songs in ten minutes, GG getting naked, bloodied, and covered in his own waste and then inciting a riot.  You just can't make this stuff up.  GG Allin was a disgusting, disturbed, vile human being who just happens to be my idol.  RIP GG Allin.
+RAM, Paul McCartney's second solo album (originally issued in 1971), comes closer to the Beatles "sound" than any other post-breakup work the four individual members produced.

+First of all, this albums isn't just a collection of collaborations with pop artists.  "Da Le Yaleo," "Africa Bamba", "El Farol" , and "Primavera" are all fine examples of Santana's trademark afro cuban jazz.  As for the collaborations, most of them work surprisingly well.  The Lauryn Hill and Everlast tracks are somewhat throwaways, but "Love of My Life" with Dave Mathews is a fairly enjoyable song.  Even the most famous singles, "Smooth" and "Maria Maria" are quite infectious.  Unfortunately, the jam with Eric Clapton, which may sound nice in theory, turns out to be somewhat lackluster here.

+These daunting works can hardly find a better advocate than in Marc-Andre Hamelin. Aided by a warm and natural recorded sound, he is not only able to toss off the most deliriously difficult passages with apparent ease (a remarkable achievement by itself), his performances are also unfailingly musical, sensitive and have keen regard as to mood and tone colour. Such a combination of hair-raising virtuosity and good musical taste is definitely a thing to marvel at.

Great to  hear Diana Krall sing two of Mancini's more sophisticated songs, "Dreamsville" & "Soldier In the Rain" (the latter an especially ethereal composition). Mancini fans will like it. I do. But Grusin's facile plano playing offers few surprises, it goes where one expects it to go; some of the instrumentals  drift by as if wrapped in gauze, & only three are challenged to offer up something out of the ordinary: "Peter Gunn," "Baby Elephant Walk," & "Hatari." So I consider it a tasteful homage. But  old  tribute albums by Quincy Jones & Bobby Hackett are just as much if not more fun (Hackett's "Peter Gunn" is very unusual).

+At their peak, Elton John and Bernie Taupin were an unstoppable combination in writing extraordinary music.  Madman Across the Water contains some of the best contemporary songwriting ever, and Elton's vocal performance on this disc is superb.

Don't overlook Madman Across the Water; it undoubtedly deserves to be a part of your CD collection.
+The best song on this CD, though, is an original composition from Chip Davis, called "Traditions of Christmas."

+  As for the cover photo: the furor it caused upon release is legendary, but I think largely unwarranted. Lennon's whole mindset at the time was to "strip away" all pretense in his music, art, and life. The sleeve only makes that visually clear (whereas John and Yoko's "PLASTIC ONO BAND" albums makes it aurally clear - although quoting Genesis Chapter 2 on the album cover in order to draw a comparison to Adam and Eve when in fact Lennon and Ono were committing adultery at the time is not cool with me). But, as a whole, "TWO VIRGINS" isn't a success. I didn't find it worthless, but I also didn't find it to be worthwhile. The beautiful CD bonus track "Remember Love" certainly helps.

The rhythm section consists of musicians with more routine in Zappa's music; Ray White (although he was quite new,) Eddie Jobson, Patrick O'Hearn, Terry Bozzio, and faithful percussion virtuoso Ruth Underwood. Aside from some re-arrangements of earlier released tunes, the album featured a lot of new material upon its release, but much of it would be re-recorded and re-released later during the composer's career, so there aren't more than three selections on these two discs that aren't available on other Zappa albums. In their original forms, both "Black Page #1" and "Black Page #2" are included - a nice treat. The overall musicianship on these discs is pretty loose and free, which isn't necessarily always for the better, since the album, aside from "Illinois Enema Bandit," "I'm The Slime," "Big Leg Emma," and "The Torture Never Stops," features very complicated compositions with very specific voicings and rhythmic phrases that call for a nitpicky performance in order to work. It's a shame that Zappa never recorded studio versions of songs like "I Promise Not To Come In Your Mouth," "Honey, Don't You Want a Man Like Me," "Manx Needs Women," and "Approximate" because even if these are fine performances by famous virtuoso musicians, the overall performance comes through a bit hectic and sometimes slightly unorganized due to the possible lack of practice of this particular line-up. A lot of the horn players are sight-reading during the performance.

+In my opinion, Roxy rates as a "Jewel In The Crown" of the Zappa creative masterworks, sort of bridging the gap between "commercially acceptable" or listener friendly,like "Yellow Snow" or "Valley Girl" and his more complex instrumental only compositions that he focused on at the end of his career.
+
+Between their early work like the classic "House of the Rising Sun" to their epic masterpiece "Sky Pilot" they were in line with the big boys and played the field well. Hitting some trends first, following in the footsteps of others at times as well, they take their place in history with hits like "Don't Bring Me Down", "We Gotta Get Outta This Place", and their tribute to the city of love "San Franciscan Nights" as well as a few others. They have still got the chops and the staying power.
+Band 7: Giuseppe de Luca - 1927 (3:03) - a segment from one of the early "talkie" movies, showing the 51 year old de Luca (in costume) singing "Largo al factotum". Very well sung, minimal acting. Commentary (mostly vacuous) by Thomas Hampson.
+I love everything about this album, from the almost modern-classical feel of the instrumentals to the fantastic doo-wop numbers that are the bookends of this most tasty Sandwich, which manage that rarest of accomplishments in that they sound like parodies AND tributes to the genre at the same time.  Perhaps best of all is the concert interlude near the end where Frank defends the cops providing security at the show from screaming, disapproving hippies, with the admonishment that "every one in this room is wearing a uniform, and don't kid yourself...".
+We hop  into the musical proceedings pretty quickly with "Green  Earrings."  I didn't mind the lighting or the wacky camera  angles--those effects seemed to me to match the music: dark, sexy, and a  little off-kilter.  Reminded me of an extra good Sessions at West 54th.  I  also didn't mind the interviews per se.  Many of them were engaging, and  they kept me salivating while I waited for the next song.  It's funny, for  example, to hear one young fan attribute "The Year of the Cat" to  Steely Dan.
+Overall, the album is just a nostalgic trip through the 80's, but never-the-less, it's great jazz!
+6506	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	After twenty-five years, this album is as fresh and exhilarating as when it was first released. This is the first and only recording by this configuration of the New South.  In addition to master banjo picker J.D.  Crowe, you have Tony Rice, who is one of the best flat pick guitar players  and bluegrass vocalists ever; bass player Bobby Slone, who also served a  stint with the legendary Kentucky Colonels; a very young Ricky Skaggs on  mandolin and fiddle, and an even younger Jerry Douglas (whose not included  in the cover photo) on Dobro.

+  Deal with the fact that Ozzie is gone and Tony Iomi pioneered on to make some of the best Sabbath music out there with Born Again , Headless Cross, Eternal Idol, Cross Purposes, TYR, and Forbidden. How can anyone turn their back to Iomi and this era of Sabbath. I did for years, was heartbroken that Ozzie left, letdown again when Dio left. Never listened to the Tony Martin Sabbath for years. I denied myself of some great music and then had to pay the price to collect the now rare lps.

+I realize Bill and Gloria and most of their friends have been writing and singing great gospel songs long before I was even thought of. But when Bill Gaither gathered dozens of his friends together for a 1995 TV special that aired on TNN, it was a fresh new beginning that would eventually bring millions of people (me being one) to see that southern gospel music is somthing that everyone can enjoy and feel His power first hand!
+Made in collaboration with Paul's late wife Linda (she co-wrote half the songs and sang harmonies), the mastering on this new edition it stellar; it's not quite as good as the DCC released well over a decade ago but it sounds extremely good in its remastered form by the Abbey Road team.

+15 - Drowned World/Substitute For Love
+
+The album continues with some of the best music that I have heard in a long time.  Haunting Me has great vocals on it and the theme from St Elsewhere is infectious. This CD was released over 20 years ago and the album still sounds as new and exciting as ever.  Perfect for a long drive somewhere. I recommend this for someone just starting out in jazz, it is a wonderful combination of smooth grooves, kick your feet up vibes and just all in all, feel good music. A hard CD to find, I was lucky to find it used for under 5 dollars, which is a steal for this CD. Any price that you pay is worth it, the man was (and still is) ahead of his time on this one. "Power Wave and "Somewhere Between Old and New York" are worth the price of admission alone. Get this one now because it is very hard to find, hopefully you'll get lucky like I did. Heres to real music, thank you Dave Grusin for giving us timeless music that you can listen to over and over again.
+The bad news is that the editing is still a hatchet job. The concert is still out of order. "Tommy" was played in the middle of the show not at the end. Much of the material is cut. The Shakin' All Over/Twist and Shout" medley has at least a third of its content missing as does "Magic Bus". "Substitute" and "Naked Eye" are missing completely. In the case of the "Naked Eye" footage that may be a case of copyright blocking presentation. The footage does exist and can be seen on the "Message to Love" DVD. The content from "Tommy" is a mess. The "Overture", "It's a Boy", "Eyesight to the Blind", "Go to the Mirror", "I'm Free" and "We're Not Gonna Take It" are all presented as fragments edited into song form. "1921", "Amazing Journey/Sparks", "Tommy Can You Hear Me", "There's a Doctor", "Smash the Mirror" and "Tommy's Holiday Camp" were omitted the first time around and haven't been inserted.  Most of the editing is smooth enough but the gaps are still glaring.

+6. Crush On You.- (7.5/10) Pretty good song.
+Disc 5: Primetime
+Each song from the album has a way of reaching inside of you and holding a mirror infront of you. You come face to face with yourself, and not only Maynard's compelling lyrics but also the instrumentals' sheer power/ contemplative ambience bring you to another place.
+Subtitle of the title of the rview  should be: for people who have never seen or heard the group before. Inevitably, the percentage of potential buyers who fit this category, whatever it might be today, almost forty years later, will increase exponentially...if any material is available for them to see/hear and if the group somehow survives in the collective memory. Both are unpredictable. Just knowing the two facts given, and what we know about human interaction, it is clear that the instrumental and vocal music, together with the physical movements of the band, are only one part of what goes on in this sort of event. It is a happening built on the justification of  listening to music;  far more than that, far more than even a Murray Lerner can give us, is taking place. Even for those who were there, watching the DVD, of course, cannot repeat the happening. The storehouse of memory is too dynamic for that to be possible. (One thing I can assert with confidence, if you have been around Rock for forty years, and are still turning it way up, you already have serious hearing damage which is worsening each time you turn it way up.) At any  rate, making due allowance for the difference between listening now and being there then, this disc is an excellent way for the newcomer to get some sense of what this very popular band, part of most histories of Rock, was about one day in 1970.

+9672	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	Let me just say that I think James Cotton is one of the greats as well as Carey Bell and Junior Wells. I don't know much about Billy Branch and I don't care. This record in terms of blues power has maybe 2 good ones, and a very big maybe- 4 tops. It would seem like a great album by reading the credits but this just didn't go down right. I can't insult these guys as great players but this just gets old real real quick and it is nowhere near what these guys can do individually.  Sometimes these all-star jams produce something far greater than each player-here the depth is just lost. Lucky Peterson Plays on it and though he has great technical skill, is real low on taste and soul here it seems to me. As for the fun side of it- it wears thin for me and I rarely take it off my shelf. Out of about 3 or 4 hundred recordings in my collection- this I take out one of the least. And that is just for a fine rendition of Black Night by Cotton. This just didn't work I am sorry to say. I would strongly recommend that you hear 4 or 5 of these tracks before shelling out a ridiculous amount of money to buy the cd. I just can't say that this record is worth it at all. A solo album by one of these fellas would be more worth the while. It is just mostly songs that don't stand up to the passing of time like an old Howlin' Wolf record is. I just don't care for it and think you are better off somewhere else. If you want a recommendation for a great find than here are two of my favorites of all time : West Side Soul, by Magic Same Maghett and T-Bone Blues, by T-Bone Walker. This is just a fluke in these guys careers I think.
+So, completists should find the vinyl, if possible. Good luck!
+However, even if you prefer not to delve deeper into Tool's sonic landscape, Aenima is a bad... rock/metal album that is filled with infectiously catchy (and occasionally epic) songs, breathtaking vocals and a sound so original and monumental, that there are no words to describe it. Some complain that the segues are pointless... they add character to the record and without them it would seem much less enigmatic. So stop reading and hit play.

+2026	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	There is no better Peter Gabriel concert film than this.  Yes, the DVD suffers from some haze and fuzziness in spots, but the performances are beyond reproach and are, in fact, the best ever captured on film for Gabriel.  Paula Cole, as his chief backup singer, is not only beautiful but also a beautiful and fully complementary vocalist.  The entire in-the-round concert is one to treasure, and the performances of the songs "Sledgehammer," "Don't Give Up," "In Your Eyes," and "Red Rain," all from his brilliant SO album, confirm that Peter Gabriel is an artist of extraordinary talent. Do NOT be put off by the caveats and quibbles voiced elsewhere in this "review" thread.  If you love great rock/pop music, you will not be disappointed by SECRET WORLD LIVE on DVD.  Pounce!
+9575	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Writer Amy Hempel defines editing as "cutting out all the boring  parts" - if so, this album is a masterpiece of editing.  Actually, the  songs that are left are pretty good too.  Costello has never surpassed the  energy in "I Stand Accused" or "King Horse."  And  there's a nice organ-filled Stax/Volt feel to it all.  Kind of knocked off  and sloppy, in a very disciplined way (does that make sense?) it also  doesn't sound like anything you've ever heard.  If this album came at the  death of punk music, it sure heralded a magnificent age that never quite  appeared.

+14. Holiday (One of the happiest & greatest songs of all time!!!!!!) Madonna, her band & her dancers are awesome in their performance of this song. Words just can't describe just how good it is.
+10. Hughes, Chad Smith, Steve Vai-Highway Star-One wasn't enough so they did two, umm ok. But this is quite good, and is more like Highway Vai. He steals the show and does some of the best guitar work i've heard him do in years. He really shows off his licks in this song without it sounding SO over the top that is ruins the track. Just the right amount of Vai, with the right amount of original Blackmore. Glenn Hughes vocals are great, and he sounds better than ever. Though i think he gets a little TO excited on this track at times. Settle down Glenn, we're happy you can still sing. And yes, we know you sung for Deep Purple before. :)

+3637	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Having seen The Who live and in concert with Keith Moon on drums I was a happy guy when I started watching this concert video.  Considering the fact that this video was shot in 1970, and outdoors too, the audio is excellent. But back to Keith.  I was about 50 or so yards away from Keith Moon when I saw the band and he was, and forever shall be, the most amazing rock drummer.  The Who: Live At The Isle Of Wight features many great scenes and tight shots of Keith in action.  This DVD also includes a very in-depth interview with Pete Townshend that was surprising and interesting since I thought I knew this band fairly well.  The only down side to this concert, in my humble opinion, was Pete's performance.  If you are expecting "The Who - Live At Leeds" Townshend guitar perfection it's not here.  There are moments of classic Townshend greatness however and overall this is still an excellent Who concert but it's sloppy at times.

Not his best work, but then it's hard if (according to me) all of his albums are worthy of 4 stars (at the least) and most are 5 star classics.  Production is good and handled by Ant Banks, EA Ski, Prodeje of South Central Cartel, Too $hort, DJ Xtra LArge, and Johnny Z.  Guests are few (on 3 of the 14 songs).  It has 1 classic, 2 near classics, 9 good songs, and 1 that's ok and 1 that I skip.  This was recorded when he was only about 22, but he holds it down for the East Bay. An album that you have to Check it out.
+This album would be utterly forgettable, if not for the fact that it is such a train wreck that it is an absolute must-have.  Let me write that again in bold for the folks that may have skipped over this review:  THIS ALBUM WOULD BE UTTERLY FORGETTABLE, IF NOT FOR THE FACT THAT IT IS SUCH A TRAIN WRECK THAT IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST-HAVE.

+This is my favorite album by Black Sabbath. It basically went unnoticed b/c people just liked Sabbath with Ozzy, but I like Tony M much better. I like his accent and his voice is gravelly, but not too much. I like to sing to a lot of songs on this album. His expressive voice adds a lot to this music, but besides that it is also well written.
+2157	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Many early Black Sabbath purists automatically discount any of the band's output beyond the original Ozzy era, and as much of a fan as I am of that period myself, the fact remains that the band were still going strong over two decades later and their crowning achievement of the later years may be 1994's "Cross Purposes."

It doesn't really sound like a Christian band which I think is great for them because that'll make them appeal to more than just Christian fans. They have put together a good album and it's a good listen but I wouldn't listen to this over and over again (the reason it's 4 stars, not 5).

+Check out The Eternal Idol and Forbidden they are both in the same vain as Cross Purposes as opposed to Headless Cross and TYR, which are both considered progressive metal albums.

+  Robert Mugge, the Philadelphia-based filmmaker best known for his documentaries on African American music artists, does some of his best work on BLACK WAX.  The director wisely chooses to have the film "speak for itself" through the words and music of Gil Scott-Heron, rather than have some "expert" talk about him. This is particularly significant given the politically charged nature of much of Scott-Heron's work (e.g., Whitey on the Moon, "B" Movie) and the fact that Robert Mugge is not African American. Performance footage of Gil Scott-Heron's best known songs are intercut with scenes of him walking through the streets of Washington, DC commenting on the issues of the day.  Also included are some amusing segments where Scott-Heron "addresses" wax statues of John Wayne and several U.S. presidents.

+-Headspace:  Nothing to dislike in this song, but it's nothing to get excited about either.
+The singles are better than the rest of the album (especially "Crank Call", which is a total b-side), but that's fine because they are fantastic on their own.  From the smokin' title track, to the bass-heavy "Flesh For Fantasy", to the winsome (and underrated) "Catch My Fall", to the slithering yet beautiful baritone attack of "Eyes Without A Face", this is an album that still stands the test of time.
+Still, embrace this polished up DVD, and just feel the intensity of the playing from a true master yet to scratch the surface of his potential

Can't neither one of them carry a tune worth spit, but they sing along anyway.

+Elton begins the concert with the superb ballad "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me," quickly following that with a rocking version of "I'm Still Standing."  A welcome surprise is the outstanding song "Burn Down The Mission" from his early years.  Songs from "The One" include the title cut, "Simple Life" and his moving ballad about aids, "The Last Song."  Freddie Mercury had recently died of aids and, as a tribute to him, Elton sings a powerful version of Queen's "The Show Must Go On."  A concert highlight is when each of his three backup singers perform powerful solos on "Sad Songs Say So Much."  The concert closes on an unusual note, with Elton combining the instrumental "Song For Guy" with his classic "Your Song" for a unique medley.

I never saw the concert live, but the way this was put together I have the feeling that the main thing I'm missing is that cattle drive atmosphere of being in the audience.  None the less the video is edited in such a way that a person gets involved in most of the concert experience.  One minute you might be watching one of the musicians perform, then a cut to something on the movie screen they had on stage, then a silhouette of the curvaceous back up singers swaying to a pulsating beat in skin tight dresses.

+6025	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Trower gives us a hint in the opener "Whiskey Train" of what he  was later to offer us as a soloist. I think leader Gary Brooker's vocals in  this number influenced Trower as to what sort of voice he wanted singing  his material--that husky blues voice also made famous by David Clayton  Thomas and the late Terry Kath. As a result, the next voice we were to hear  a Trower number in was that of James Dewar. Also notable here is  "Whaling Stories", a lengthy (for its day) prequel to the classic  "Salty Dog"--plus, the sardonic, driving Elton John-ish  "Still There'll Be More". I think "Whiskey Train" is  one reason this album is rather undrrated and--at the moment--unavailable  in a US issue. It just doesn't sound like a Procol Harum song. What it  sounds like is a prelude to the the brilliant Hendrix-esque/ Claptonesque  blues-metal career Trower was to have.

+2547	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	One of the best long-form videos of a live show you will ever see.  Remarkably close to seeing the show in person (which I did).  The absence of a DVD release is criminal.  The only drawback of this video is the  minimal footage of the spectacular lighting choreography on the circular  screen upstage behind and above the band.  It was masterful and beautiful,  but the video only hints at it.  I ask again, though:  WHERE IS THE DVD?  If ever a concert title screamed for DVD release, with the better picture  and sound that would be available, it is this title.  Somebody needs to get  on the ball about this.  Call me when it's ready for release -- I'll be  right here.

Without repeating all the praise justly heaped upon this production by other reviewers, let me just say this: this is worth getting if only to see Lindsay Buckingham play the guitar. The man is a genius, he must be one of the most underrated guitarists out there today. Fantastic stuff, especially on Go Insane and I'm So Afraid (his guitar solo on the latter blows me away every time I watch it).

+This album might well be referred to as "the quintessential Pete Seeger." If you could only have one Seeger album, this would be it.

People who call it boring just don't understand. Try taking a 6 minute some day and turning it into  16 minutes, I really doubt you could do it. I do feel that Toad is a tad  long, though for the first 10 minutes or so I marvel in it. The only really  bad song on here is Pressed Rat and Warthog on the first disc, but other  than that its all good(Real good)-get it if you love real rock n' roll not  this pop garbage of today(and I am only 22 so I'm not some old guy trying  to revel in the past)
+Greatest songs on this one, for me, are "West of Hollywood," a real Steely Dan classic on par with any of their greatest hits, the title song, which is also the most complex in every sense; "What a Shame about me." Those three really do it for me.

+7870	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	Punk has had a long and proud tradition of being involved in left-wing radical politics. However, the best punk bands weren't just about the preachy lyrics; they combined the polemics with a distinctive and memorable sound. Joe Strummer of The Clash knew this, as did Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) and D. Boon and Mike Watt (Minutemen).

+6)  Fall To Pieces - Being in heavy rotation on VH1 and whatnot, this song is one of the obvious "big hits" on the album.  It is, however, a very good song.  I mean really good.  It totally blew me away the first time I heard it.  Reminds me of Guns n' Roses, and in a very good way.  I dig Slash's guitar solo on this one. Slow, well-played, and beautiful.

+4665	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	This is one of the most amazingly disappointing cds I have ever bought. I have been a Dan fan almost since the inception. While the sound of this anemic collection of tunes is Steely Dan, all the wit and brilliance that once gave this band its unique appeal is gone.  There are no soaring insturmental solos, no polished satiric lyrics. While the additude of ripe debauchery that this band espoused in ts early work appears rakish on one still in youth, the very over indulgent lifestyle celibrated by this band has dulled the razor sharp neural edge that made them so outstanding. The cd is dull and witless, not quite a stinker but almost.

+The man himself delivers the riffs and solos all his fans would want and expect, with quite a bit of variety without ever overdoing it.  Slash doesn't fall into the trap of trying to prove he's the worlds greatest guitarist and bedazzle us with guitar god wizardry.  He knows that at the end of the day it is the songs as a whole that do the talking, thus all the guitar riffs, melodies and solos serve only to enhance the songs as a whole to shine.  This is no doubt because Slash's influences stem from 70's rock such as The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith, an era in which the song was the key, before the early 80's guitar heroes arrived and being fast and flashy became what mattered most (besides big hair and spandex).

This CD was deemed a benchmark for a great warm sound that took full advantage of the digital domain. Even today, reviewers of stereo equipment use this CD to judge a products sound quality. Leonard Cohen writes very literate lyrics and haunting melodies. Jennifer Warnes does an outstanding job of interpreting these Cohen standards. You will probably recognize "Bird on a Wire" but the title song "Famous Blue Raincoat" is almost worth the price of admission just on it's on. Jennifer Warnes is a very gifted vocalist and one of those consummate artists that just never made it. The CD is no longer available in the U.S., however, the import version is available and at a very reasonable price. So you should purchase this one now before it also becomes not available.

+The amazon.com editorial pretty much hits the nail on the head.  I have never been so disappointed in a purchase.  Hendrix can be found at the tail end of a very nauseating viewing of a super self-absorbed counter culture group of ultra hippies.  And yet the advertising would have you believe that the production is centered around Hendrix concert footage.  There is a short section where Hendrix is giving a type of impromtu interview and he is so wasted I can barely understand him - funny and sad at the same time.  His performance at the very end of this tripe is OK but seemed mostly theatrical to me.  I'm a musician, I have partied hard, I have friends who were and are hippies - but if I want to find out what Jimi Hendrix the musical icon was about I have to look elsewhere ...

But Mr. McCartney sings them wholeheartedly and puts his trademark charm into them, that you can't help but enjoy them. "Too Many People" is a pleasant, acoustic number and "Three Legs" has a blues riff. "Eat At Home" has a Buddy Holly influence while "The Back Seat Of My Car" is a pure pop pleasure. "Smile Away" has an infectious chorus. "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" is an eccentric number that sounds like a left over from Sgt. Peppers.

+Born under a bad sign - the above songs have been slowly getting weaker, and this is the weakest song of the ones I like. The lyrics are fun...a blues song which gently mocks the genre. Cream sort of does to the Blues, what Monty Python did to those pub stories which start with "I was so poor that...". A deep bass sound with more squeaky, distorted lead guitar sounds featured. A good addition to the blues genre in any case.
+1881	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This celebration concert is a great way to get a taste of Sondheim's work. The artists are top-of-the-line and the musical numbers are cleverly arranged often interweaving songs from different shows. The only weak items are the two songs from the film "Dick Tracy" and the long sequence "A Weekend in the Country" from "A Little Night Music", but these are more than made up for by stunning performances by Patti Lupone, Bernadette Peters, Daisy Egan, Dorothy Youdon, Glenn Close and many others. An absolute delight.

+I agree with the other guy who stated that Ozzy is not to be given the credit for starting metal.  Ronnie James Dio was playing in bands, recording, and in the music industry way before Ozzy was.  Ronnie James Dio is an actual composer and musician.  Not a low life drug addict slacker that relys on everyone else to do his work, aka: Ozzy.

Upon first hearing that Santana was signing onto pop label Arista, my immediate first response was "Uh, Oh." And having pop producer Clive Davis on board didn't help things much, either. Don't get me wrong, this album has it's moments (such as his collabrations with Eric Clapton and the Dave Matthews Band), but for the most part, I would much rather remember Santana for "Black Magic Woman" rather than for "Smooth." It's okay, but the money's better well spent on Santana's first three albums.

+Oddly enough, this is one of the rare releases in the Rhino series to which the bonus disc is something of a letdown. Aside from the fully produced songs "Baby's Got A Brand New Hairdo" and "Seven Day Weekend" (with Jimmy Cliff), the demos here are less than revelatory. Perhaps it's in the fact that the recording of "Blood And Chocolate" was done as quickly as possible with as few takes as necessary. But for the most part, the alternate takes add little to their counterparts. The last four covers are interesting in that Elvis was obviously charting the course for what would eventually become "Kojak Varieties."

Most of this album showcases Keith Murray as a hungry lyricist. Dope songs like "Sychosymatic", and the title track "The Most Beautifullest..." validates my reason (I perfer the remix on the latter song). "Straight Loonie" is a dope song (was Erick Sermon blowed when he spit his verse, trying to sound like Fredro Starr from Onyx?). The next excellent track is "Danger Zone" with a dope sample from Roger Troutman (another thing I realized is that Erick uses the same samples, because that sample was used on "Safe Sex" on his previous album). "Take It To The Streets" is a nice track that features Murray's crew L.O.D. "Bom Bom Zee" is dope short track with Hurricane G. (who doesn't sound bad here), and Paul Hightower's singing. The album ends with the remix of the title track, with better production than the origonal.
+404	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Wow. I have to honestly say this album ROCKS and that is a really nice thing in a world inundated with Rap and R&B. Not that I have anything against those 2 musical styles...it's just that the world (America especially) is filled with trendy people who are like rats following the Pied Piper. Whatever is 'in' at the time is what they like. If a certain artist or sound is 'hot'-they like it. I have never subscribed to this mentality. And thank God Slash hasn't either. The same cannot be said for his former GNR partner Axl Rose. We gave him the benefit of the doubt and waited for his new 'GNR' lineup to prove their worth. And we waited. And waited...finally after OVER a decade, we got 'Chinese Democracy'-WTF??? Samples, loops, and SUPER over production with ballad after ballad and nary a rocker in sight. Yes-the opening track rocked a bit, but has more in common with punk than the sleazy R&R we were used to with GNR. The only track that stood out for me was 'Better'. Axl--you have failed us. If it took you THAT long to write and release the album it should have been TRACK AFTER TRACK of masterpieces! Now here comes Slash. While he has been with us all along and released some pretty damn decent stuff-THIS is the definitive album by the man. It is by far the most cohesive album in his solo arsenal. It rocks, it rolls, it has all of the elements that made GNR what it WAS. What Slash needed was a steady singer-not a bunch of 'guests'...and he chose well. I'm sure it had much to do with Myles Kennedy showing his stuff on Slash's last release. In short,'Apocalyptic Love' can be considered the GNR album we have waited almost 15 years for. I won't go into a track by track description because we'd be here all day. All I will say is this is hard rocking music at it's finest with a fantastic vocal performance from Mr. Kennedy. Axl has nothing on this guy! So if your like me and you long for the GNR of yore and you also were majorly let down by that lame 'Guns & Posers' album-don't walk-RUN to the nearest music store and grab this cd! Or just click that mouse right here and now on Amazon-you won't be dissapointed! Thank you Slash!!!

+Many people who have reviewed either the concert film or the live audio version have noted, with either admiration or some disappointment, that the superstar guests humbly yield the spotlight to Roy.  But it's only fitting really that they do.  Yes, Roy and k.d. lang had a minor hit with their duet version of "Crying."  I seriously doubt that lang minded not sharing the vocal honors in this performance, however.  This was Roy's night to shine, and shine he did.  The occasional awed look you see on one of his all-star back up musicians (Springsteen, Costello, Raitt, Waits--among others) is never anything less than sincere.  Many of these back-ups have sold significantly more records than Roy Orbison himself, but that hardly matters.  They are there to honor a master--one who was still exhibiting his mastery right up until the time of his death.

+For many listeners, the highlight no doubt will be Mel's heartfelt tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, the "First Lady of Song," or, as he puts it, "the most loved, the best there ever was, and the best there ever has been."  And Mel does more than acknowledge her.  He sings exactly like Ella, except a pitch or two lower.  Finally, the closer is Cole Porter's "Every Time We Say Goodbye," which Ella sang on the first of her "canonical" Songbooks.  Given its status as Mel's last recorded notes, the tune acquires extraordinary poignancy on this occasion.  But no need to shed tears.  I can think of few other musicians going out so completely in command, at the top of their game, as Mel (Bill Evans would have to be the other one).

+The performances are bandied back and forth between the two concerts giving different backgrounds to them. One of the highlights is a song inspired by the famous bird called Nightingale that he dedicates to the people of China spotlighting Pedro using a very high register flute. The final number is a dance song called Niki Nana (We Are One) starting off with David Hudson decked out in an Aboriginal get up playing the didjeridu and puts on a rather humorous dance routine with Alfreda. The rest of the songs incorporate a wide variety of genres like jazz, classical, Latin and spiritual among others. My only disappointment as a former drummer myself is the absense of Yanni regular the stellar Charlie Adams, but Joel Taylor here does a good enough job.
+Prelude a short piece with native instruments. After a couple of minutes this piece goes into Love is All, which is one of the two only tracks with lyrics on the album. Accompanied by Spanish guitar this is a rather radio-friendly tune with great soulful vocals and the full choir. Southern Exposure starts another laid back tune with female backing vocals, saxophone and violin. Later on in the song things get more rhythmic and swinging with nice interplay between the violins and female vocalists. Next in line is Waltz In 7/8 then. Great piece of work with flutes, latin influences and a keyboard solo. Nightingale is probably one of the quietest songs on the DVD.It features some bird like flute-playing with a slight Japanese feeling. Of course the big string orchestra is present as well.

+"Ram" is something of a wedding album, with Linda's presence as songwriter and prominent back-up vocalist. It's also a continuation of McCartney's one-man-show albums, with guest players credited but not attributed to any particular songs. The songs themselves are freewheeling odes to love ("Backseat of My Car"), life ("Heart of the Country") and proving to those who doubted that he could both rock ("Monkberry Moon Delight") or knock-off an appropriately Beatles-sounding single without any help from his former teammates ("Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey").

+Magnificentally produced and performed by a lineup that includes the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, Warnes doesn't improve on Cohen, but unlike the performers who interpreted his songs on "I'm Your Fan" and "Tower of Song," she more than holds her own, and puts her own stamp on Cohen's unique compositions. In a few instances, she manages to surpass the author, most notably with her touching rendition of "Ain't No Cure For Love," and more so with her majestic reading of "Joan of Arc" (with a guest appearance by the man himself). The latter squeezes every ounce of drama from both the lyrics and melody in a production so cinematic, you can almost see the flames closing in on the title heroine.

There isn't a single tune in here that has the same individuality as almost anything else Steely Dan ever did. Every tune is a loping mid-tempo beat, with wordy lyrics and extremely annoying vocals. Not a decent groove in the bunch.  Walter Becker's guitar solos are all eighth-note wonders with no particular distinction. He's improved in the ten or so years between Dan albums, just not enough to make a convincing front-line guitarist in the Dan tradition. Great studio production can't make up for mediocre, enervated songwriting. The exception is the mid-tempo number (again) "Jack of Speed" which was basically the breakout hit off this disc, and which I covered in a band once. Good song.

She was surrounded by great musicians, still had Joe Boyd producing, and was very well-known and well-respected in the UK.

Anyone that has a CD collection (and that has a decent taste in music) should own this album. It is a masterpiece - a mantra that may seem over-used - but Girlfriend is amazing! From pure pop classics ("Divine Intervention"), to straight-ahead rock tunes ("Does She Talk?"), and even a country-tinged track ("Winona"), Girlfriend pleases everyone. One listen and you are hooked!
+This DVD captures Metallica in all their glory with Cliff Burton, "The major rager on the four string mother ...." as introduced by Jaymz. Bass solos that will blister your ears, the greatest versions of 'Seek and Destroy' and 'For Whom the Bell Tolls" you'll ever hear, and Cliff footage showing Cliff at his humorous best. Did you know ZZ Top was a big influence of his?

Sorry R. but you ain't got it!!! The one  about his mother ("Sadie") was so sweet and sentimental.  A good  album all-around.

+And I'm willing to bet, I'll hear "Born In The USA" blasting from more than a few car stereos.  Because, for all the nauseating co-opting of this music by Ronald Reagan and others, that is who this album was really directed at, and that's who really understood it the best: mid-life baby boomers who were in the war or were of that age.  Springsteen, like Townshend before him, understood his audience, his generation, and he spoke to them first and foremost.
+9610	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	And indeed, it provides a welcome relief for weary listeners struggling their way through this horrendous monument to artistic vanity and pretentiousness. I cannot imagine there are many who've honestly listened to this pseudo-art more than once all the way through. The only role this album plays in music history is to serve, like the Wedding Album, as a dire warning to all of how awful the results can be when artistic pretentiousness prevails over good judgement and true creativity. I'd gladly listen to an album's worth of 'Two minutes Silence' rather than just two more minutes of this nauseating tripe. The question is, when this album finally becomes out on mp3, just how much will Amazon charge those who want to download '2 Minutes Silence'? For that is certainly the best track on the album, and in fact the only one worth buying.

+8906	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	For listeners who revel in progressive and classic rock (ELP, Yes, Doors, Santana, Tull, Beatles), this is as essential an album as "Brain Salad Surgery" or "Abbey Road."  Please keep in mind that I only refer to the "Spaceship Earth" section of this re-release 2-album CD.  In that glorious album, the talents of this band are magnified by the superlative writing and playing of guitarist Robert Yeazel- yes, keyboard whiz Jerry Corbetta was the leader/founder of the band, but Yeazel was to Sugarloaf as Steve Hackett was to Genesis- an integral composer whose writing inspired the group to realize an intense musical potential- just listen to the album and see for yourself!  "Spaceship Earth" belongs on the same shelf as all the greatest classic and progressive rock albums.  This is a must-buy that will truly please lovers of real music.  Enjoy!
+While the actual songs on this record are all good, it is quite annoying to have a record like this with so many interludes of noises and static etc.
+Stevie gave an amazing performance; one that I still remember to this day.  I never get tired of watching his dvd's.  The amount of energy that he put into each performance was unbelievable.
+Maybe Frank Zappa's all time best live album, maybe. Bongo Fury and Guitar are both great as well, but I think Roxy And Elsewhere takes the cake. The muscian interplay is just down right amazing and all of the songs on the record are fantastic. Napoleon Murphy Brock, Bruce and Tom Fowler, Ruth Underwood, and George Duke are maybe the best lineup to ever play with the man, well maybe second only to the Zoot Allures line up but thats it. Frank's guitar playing here is amazing, not as promenant on all the songs but still an important musical force here.

There are no extra video insertions over the audio (like footage from music videos, etc.).  The "documentary" footage at the beginning of the video is great.  It's interesting but brief.

+The purpose of this review isn't to give even a thumbnail history lesson of the evolution of Bluegrass and a comparison to more popular and "mainstream" forms of music, but it is important in having a complete appreciation of this album to recognize the historical rarity of a "popular" or "breakout" Bluegrass artist or band or recording.

+Don't get me wrong - all the hits are there - "I Only Wanna Be With You"; "The Look Of Love"; "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me", et al.  However, it's the very last song that will bring a tear to the eye of any Dusty Springfield fan.  It's a simple piano and voice only partial rendition of Gershwin's "Someone To Watch Over Me".  This song, recorded near the end of her life, is worth the price of this set.  It exudes vulnerability, pathos and fragility without resorting to any maudlin contrivences.  It is pure magic.
+The other members of the ensemble deliver as well: trusty sideman and guitarist Steve Bartek is a low-key, confident performer of controlled intensity; the horn section of Dale, Leon and Sluggo are a vital element of the Boingo sound, though not on hand for every number, provide that element flawlessly and with high energy, and even the odd vocal (Sluggo on "Reptiles and Samurai"); drummer Johnny Vatos, whose rhythmic precision seemed almost mechanistic in the early days, offers thunderous fluidity in this outing with his own spark of mischief; and John Avila on bass comes closest to matching Elfman's stage energy, proving himself an indispensable buffer and contributor to the legend that was Boingo.
+8925	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	One of the most amazing records ever.  I was hooked on this album for a good year straight.  Aenima isn't anything sort of amazing and inspiring.  In fact, most of Maynard's work has the same life-altering effect on me.
+Nevertheless, I gave Rebel Yell a try, since I only own the older "24 bit" remaster, which sounds pretty dull and no-noised. Surprise, surprise. The AF Rebel Yell sounds as dull as the remaster, and it definitely has exaggerated, muddy bass.

+Bridge over troubled water is, of course, a classic song, first recorded by Simon and Garfunkel, which also appeared on LeAnn Rimes' inspirational album. It seems destined to appear on many similar albums. Anne doesn't add anything new to the song, but I was pleased to see it included here.
+What we see is "And You and I" and "Close to the Edge" played with fresh vigor. They drive through "And you and I"  a little to fast, and the lack of technology at the time means that its all electric, none of Steve's beautiful acoustic intro is there.  However, I think the 18 minute magnum opus of "Close to the Edge" is the revealing element on this DVD. The band plays this with fire and energy. During the performance, the give each other nods and winks, aware of the major creation they have just unleashed on the world. Alan is so enthusiastic, he is nearly hitting his drums over. If you look close, you can even see some amber colored beer on Rick's organ. It would be nice to see more of Rick's fingering, we pretty much get the wizard at work in his cape and not much more.  Why Nitpick? Just watch them tear through "Close to the Edge" over and and over.  Go back to 1972 when they weren't tired of the song.  The rest of the disc is gravy after that.

While lots of so called metal bands went for overblown macho bombast, Tool remains with a sound that is heavy, provoking and powerful.  They do it not by doing speed guitar or up from your bowls growls and lame rap; they do it with music that has a real center, a true core.  Maynard has something to say.  Tell me as you listen to this album that it doesn't bear listening to again.
+The title song is one played over and over twenty years later in stadiums across the South.  With the exception of "Crank Call", every song on this album was a hit.  With the CD extras here, you get even more of these hits.

+The most truly heart-felt stuff on the album, however, are three songs that are clearly autobiographical: "No Surrender," "Bobby Jean" and "My Hometown." These songs are just heartbreaking--a trilogy of growing up. "No Surrender" is about Bruce's youth, his impatient mad passion to play music, listen to music, live music. It's rooted in a specific time and place--a place that "Bobby Jean" suddenly departs when Bruce wasn't paying attention. "Bobby Jean" is clearly part of the "we" in "No Surrender," so her loss (or is a him? It's ambiguous) is felt deeply.  Then, stepping back further and moving ahead in time again, we've got the gorgeous "My Hometown," in which the hero has "settled down," is less focused on himself and more on his family, which he wants to protect, and his community, which is falling apart. I've seen the towns in New Jersey that "My Hometown" was about. Elizabeth. Plainfield. Jersey City. Trenton. Asbury Park. People hanging on, hoping these places will turn around. People finally leaving ("heading south"), tearing up their roots for the best reasons, but suffering the loss just the same. This could be classified as a "Nebraska II" song I guess, but it is emotionally much more involving, and seems awfully real.

The best song here is the title track, which sounds like a psychotic person speaking incoherent babble from the confines of a mental institution. Perhaps it shows better than any alterna-rock song what the price of excessive self-indulgence is, and I take it as a warning not to use an alcoholic beverage to toast my grandfather on his 95th birthday. This CD, along with TUMBLEWEED CONNECTION, HONKY CHATEAU, GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD, ROCK OF THE WESTIES, and CARIBOU, is one of Elton John's must-own individual CDs.

Her voice has changed a bit, but is as beautiful as ever and even resonates with more emotion than ever before. "Lord I Hope This Day is Good", is perfectly smooth and soulful. The duet with her daughter "Let There be Love" (which they sang on Oprah and was especially written for Anne) is pure delight and uplifting. "I Believe in You" is spine tingling, probably one of the best Anne Murray performances ever. "Nearer my God to Thee" is quite touching, and I am not even a religious person. "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" is Anne Murray pop at its ultimate. "I can see clearly Now" is also a standout as are "Bridge over Troubled Water" (which is very emotional) and the astounding "The Lord's Prayer"  which shows Anne's pipes are in fine form 31 years after her first recording. This 2 CD set is well worth any price. It would move even the most stoic and cold person. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Regardless, I'd been seeking original recordings of the group's classic releases for some time, so I was pleased to run across this.  Most of the collections currently available (newer releases) are re-records, so it's buyer beware.  They are "okay," but they're not the originals that we listened to on the radio back then.  I believe this is out of print, so most likely you're going to have to find it used, which is what I did via Amazon.  I can verify, as best I can tell, that these are the original recordings.

+The ode to construction workers "Working on the Highway" and the morose "Glory Days" make it clear that Springsteen lyrically is as far away from 80's excesses as one could get without boarding a time machine to the early 1960's.

+Band 7: Giuseppe de Luca - 1927 (3:03) - a segment from one of the early "talkie" movies, showing the 51 year old de Luca (in costume) singing "Largo al factotum". Very well sung, minimal acting. Commentary (mostly vacuous) by Thomas Hampson.
+ Personal favourites are MARIA, MARIA, which has a kicking bassline, excellent latin style guitar and smooth vocals from The Product-Ghetto & Blues. Wyclef also puts in an appearance, it had to be done. SMOOTH, a superb feel-good track, and one of the best on the album. You'll be putting this one on when you're in a good mood. I also like PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON & the chilled out EL FAROL, nice n slow.

+Vocalist Ricky Lancelotti was to join the band for the tour they were to soon go on, but injured himself, and didn't make the tour. Here, in "Fifty-Fifty" and "Zomby-Woof," the listener is given a taste. Unbelievable vocal pipes. The whole band as a unit is top-notch, jazz violinist Jean Luc Ponty adds a little elegant touch, as well as some furious soloing, and Ruth Underwood's (nee Komonoff) percussion helped forge the trademark 70's Zappa sound. Plus, listen for Tina Turner's unbilled vocal performance. Ike really was a creep, wasn't he? The "Ikettes" give it a little color with their voices, but weren't allowed by good ol' Ike to receive credit for their work, nor payment for multiple sessions. They were to only be paid for one session. The business is full of these types, but, I guess, so is the whole "civilized" world.
+Most of the songs haven't grown on me yet, but I'm not going to say they won't. "Standing in the sun" is an exciting song that summons up the old power classic "Locomotive." To be honest, I'm not really crazy about the single "You're a lie." "Anastasia" has a mind blowing introduction and is perhaps my favorite song on the album. "Not for me" is a deep song and a little closer to Alterbridges catalogue. "Bad rain" is dark and creepy song, and a sweet surprise that wakes me up toward the end of the album-- it's always great when an album gets better as it progresses instead of having a few good songs up front and then all crappy fillers at the end. This album actually gets better toward the end. "Far and away" is a sure winner-- bluesy, deep lyrics, and beautiful guitar work. The two bonus songs not on the CD I bought, "Carolina" and "Crazy life" are good rockers worth picking up as bonus tracks.

Janet doesn't skimp on the songs, dancing or costumes....she delivers on all accounts building the audience's excitement with each set of songs.  From her first big hit "Control" to "The Velvet Rope", Janet charges the stage and, with her dancers, whirls you through the last decade of chart makers she has accumulated.

While a purist might complain that Floyd didn't dig deep enough in its reserves to revive old chestnuts (absolutely nothing earlier than "Dark Side" appears here save for "One of these Days"), this is quite a good show that succeeds on its own merits. There is an 80s sheen to the proceedings that might be annoying to those of you who would prefer to listen to the older, analogue Floyd, but it didn't bother me one bit.
+This was incredible.  I must admit that the one thing I truly regret in my life is the one thing I had no control over... I was born in 1987.

Although it IS a 1978 classic, there are other reasons to own this great album on CD.  There's the pretty (but not mushy) love song "Right Down The Line" and my favorite track, the wonderful "Home and Dry."  What a great, inspiring, upbeat track that just makes you feel good all over!!

But this...is just noise, with no apparent artistic goal or hidden irony. I have tried to listen to "Two Virgins" a number of times over the past few decades hoping to find something, anything, of value and have long since come to realize there isn't any. The other Lennon/Ono albums along these lines are really only marginally better, but they are better. "Two Virgins" exists as something that  Beatles fans need to complete their collections and as a historical artifact, nothing more. Try George Harrison's great synth experiment  "Electronic Sound" if you can find it, first, and assuming you aren't just a Beatles fan and are really interested in exploring avant-garde, yes, try Reed's white noise manifesto "Metal Machine  Music". It is also noise, but with some interesting angles to it. The 'found sounds' art the Lennons  appear to be going for here just doesn't work to my ears.

I have never had the chance to see them perform at the Troubadour in Hollywood, but watching this CD and DVD combo is the next best thing.  Their voices compliment each other well on the song "Up On The Roof". This is my favorite track because it really shows that they enjoy performing together. Carole King still has the ability to touch me emotionally on the song "So Far Away".  This song can still bring  tears to my eyes. "Smackwater Jack" and "I Feel The Earth Move" are two classic songs that sound as fresh and groovy as they did forty years ago. Danny Kortchmar lends his talents playing the guitar on the song "Machine Gun Kelly". Danny gives this song an energetic kick with his playing. "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" is the perfect love song. Their voices sound perfect on this song together. "Blossom" is a song that puts my mind at ease. It is a song that I am not famillar with to be honest, but I love it after listening to it. Long time fans will love this. Younger people will love this music too.

And what a wonderful spoof this is!  The three vocalists here  sing pieces outside of their normal repertory (which is early music and  baroque).  Yet, the singers are both technically impressive and genuinely  entertaining while they are at it.  In fact, Pleurez Mes Yeux and Habanera  (as well as the little comical vignette Je sui grisse) are so perfect that  it's not even funny anymore.  Male voices, in comparison to females', offer  lesser vibrato and greater tonal variety.  Sometimes, when listening to  this, I catch myself on a thought that the medieval people who eschewed  female singers were on to something.  P.S.  I'm a female, so no misogyny  there.

+There are three things in the video that bothered me, and those things were not deal breakers (as opposed to Jewel's "Who's Going To Save Your Soul?" in her video was to me, or Freddy Mercury saying the f word to the audience in Queen's video).  Those things were 1) Jack Young seeming to make fun of preachers in the intro to "Snowblind" (which may have been a genuine mockery of Christians, or it may have been him being a ham), 2) Dennis DeYoung using a cuss word in the introduction to "Grand Illusion" (my favorite song by Styx, no less), though the context made it less offensive to me than Mercury's cussing, as well as that this was a PG word instead of an R rated one, and 3) in drummer Todd Sucherman's video, one of the extra features, he flipped off the camera as it was showing him drumming.

What I find most endearing about Aenima is its ability to be straight forward in its lyrics yet highly evolved and intelligent in its music. While there is hidden subtext in the filler tracks, like "Die Eier Von Satan", Maynard does not pussy foot around with those listening to his words. In "Hooker with a Penis", he's venting against the nay-sayers who criticize so-called "sellouts" yet continually buy records. In the title track, he explains how he wants this sordid world we live in to be flushed down a toilet, and goes on a delicious tirade of apocalyptic proportions. The only downside to this album I'd say is the final track, "Third Eye", because with its over 15 minute length, grows immensely tedious with each listen. This is a must have album for anyone who wants to see an underestimated point of view on society through unique music.

When I heard the Earl's Court show was finally being released on DVD I figured that this was a must have. For purists the show was kind of a mixed bag. Would the band be able to pull this off wothout Roger Waters? For those of us who saw the show the answer was yes. Watching the DVD adds to the nostalgic mood.

Watching it pulls all the emotion out of you whether you want it to or not.  But what really tells it is watching the look on Bruce Springsteens face throughout the entire concert. He's literally star struck. He can't believe he's actually playing on stage with Roy Orbison. And this is 1987. Bruce was somewhat of a major act of his own at the time.
+I'm not the only one of a certain age who will watch this intimate concert --- or see King and Taylor on their tour --- and have this reaction. Their music is mostly quiet, but it plays loud in memory; it's what we were listening to in that dump of a decade, the `70s. It's all those memories: Roe v. Wade. Kent State. Ms. Magazine. That endless war in Vietnam.
+  I would not say this set if for everyone. I think the casual fan would just be totally overwhelmed with the material in the set. This set is truly for the hard core completest who really wants to really dig into the album and understand how it came about and why certain tracks were chosen for it. If you really want it I all I would highly recommend this album to you. If you are the casual fan who just wants to hear the album you may find the standard RAM edition will serve you well. I hope Paul keeps the deluxe editions coming. I am looking forward to Wild Life Next.

+Industry reviews say that this CD was meant to expand Nancy Sinatra's fanbase beyond the square MOR crowd by reaching out on several songs to counter-culture youth. If the order of the performances on the actual TV special are the same as on the DVD, I would have predicted that this effort would fail, despite the presence of faux hipster Lee Hazlewood. At that time, there was no one more representative of the Establishment, and thus no one more uncool, than Frank Sinatra and his cohorts. And to a certain extent, that image rubbed off on daughter Nancy. For many viewers, the main attraction would have been the sex-kittenish antics of Ms. Sinatra and her sexy outfits, rather than her talents as a performer.
+Then there's the thunderbolt 'ANGRY DANCE' which is a confrontation between Billy and his father and a confrontation between the miners and the police.  With Elton Johns pulsating, driving music and Billys floor-pounding dance and yells it's the musical equivelant of riding on an out of control rollercoaster without holding onto the safety bar.  It leaves you exhilerated and breathless.
+Since that time, I have enjoyed many other Strunz and Farah recordings and have yet to hear a bad one.
+Highlights include Jethro Tull, yes, Jethro Tull, doing a wonderful rockin' blues tune. It's well before  the Aqualung phase, and not at all "progressive" or "art  rock". It's just great rock 'n roll.

+6966	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Ever since Elvis began his famed recording career with a Rockabilly cover of Bluegrass Bossman Bill Monroe's signature "Blue Moon of Kentucky" Bluegrass has been regarded by *some* as the poor barefoot hayseed step-child of Country Music.  Acoustic Guitars and Banjos and Fiddles were overwhelmed and swallowed up by Electric Guitars and Peddle Steel Guitars.  A successful Bluegrass album sold maybe 30,000.  The "dirty little secret" in Nashville was that the Bluegrass musicians were the ones who could really PLAY, so talented bluegrassers who wanted to make a decent living became Nashville studio musicians.  Bluegrass fans, who are often as fanatical about the music as a religious zealot is about their religion, considered such musicians to have "sold out", and so it was that artists like Ricky Skaggs, Bill Keith, Marty Stuart and Vince Gill were considered.  Once big fish in the small Bluegrass pond, they were thought by Bluegrass Purists to have compromised their artistic integrity to become Country successes. (Was it ironic that Ricky Skagg's first Country Hit was a "countrified" version of Lester Flatt's "Don't Get Above Your Raisin'?")

+My review may mislead you so far as I have spoken only about Maynard, the singer. The truth is, the whole emotional and cerebral delivery is carried by all the four members of the band. All the instrumental sections are so precisely elaborated and expressive, all suit the lyrics in such a way that the music becomes really expressive and even if you do not get the lyrics, instruments will help you understand the meaning of the songs. Technically, it is absolute brilliance, especially the work of Danny, the drummer. The band is so powerful - eveything from headbanging to multi-sectional operatic is done amazingly (not that operatic means pretentious like, say, Queen; do not believe reviews that say there is too much pretence and self-indulgence). The production is muddy to further emphasize the darkness and deepness of the songs and the subjects they touch (one unexpected association comes with the books of Dostoyevsky, which are too dark for some people, but again - how can you deliver subliminal, creepy and controversial emotions in other way?).
+But that is ok, because as drunks they shake also.
+To the sound of punchy horns, Rodney Holmes' double-bass drum kick, and of course, Santana's searing string-bending, "Yaleo" tears it up with abandon. "Migra" is another signature Santana 'Latin rock' piece with a pulsing Bo Diddley beat and a strong message about the U.S. immigration officers' harassment of Latinos. "Love Of My Life" is a sultry number with Matthews pouring sweetness all over the microphone, while "Do You Like The Way" features Hill dropping the light of her wisdom to slow, rough beats.

It was all the rage...I mean, c'mon - Paul McCartney?!!! Forget about it. Everyone on my block, in town and on planet earth owned it and knew it was great. If you didn't value this album then you didn't understand the Beatles catalog or anything they influenced, which was EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE. It's shameful how time erodes that fact. Yeah, it may not have been a 'Beatles' album, per se, but it sure was a nice extension for all of us who admired and welcomed what they had given us in previous years. This album still holds up today. What's really cool for me is that decades after the album's release, our small little 30th Street apartment in New York City was merely foot steps across the street where Macca had earlier recorded endless vocal tracks to Monkberry Moon Delight. Columbia Studio C, The Church, has sadly been replaced by a high rise apartment building. Like this beautiful studio that has now long been demolished, why don't we just leave things alone and enjoy them for what they epitomize? This album is a cornerstone in pop history in its own right and should be treasured as such. From the incredible process it took to complete such excellent songwriting craftsmanship and Paul's acquiring some of NYC's best session players of the day, straight through to the metaphor in the album's concept artwork, this should be in everyone's library. As a former Beatle, Paul was reinventing himself by taking the bull, or should I say, "Ram" by the horns. It was Paul who recorded in NYC long before John ever did, God rest his soul. Paul never gets credit for this...hmm?!

There is also an instrumental, the traditional "Little Liza Jane" which moves along at break-neck speed. Bluegrass at its finest! This album though has a variety of songs besides bluegrass, including country, pop and inspirational. The 20 page booklet contains all lyrics and lots of photos of Alison and the band. Highly recommended.
+The documentary opens with a quote by John Wayne Gacy, the notorious serial killer who got to know Allin through prison visitations. Other people interviewed include some fans of Allin, Allin's brother/bass player Merle Allin (who sports a strangely menacing, ridiculous Hitler-like moustache), and a former member of Allin's band who had no respect or admiration for what Allin was doing on stage. The documentary shows Allin on-stage at various venues, as well as a spoken-word performance where Allin attacked a woman. That's hardly the worst thing you'll see Allin do in this doc and, with that said, be aware: this is a graphic, disgusting documentary. There is full-frontal nudity from both genders, consummation of bodily waste, images of self-mutilation, etc.

+David Bowie was coming to a crossroad w/ Brian Eno. Bowie felt he had to take some control back of his own work which starts to show as Eno's presence isn't that predominant as on the past 2 releases prior. Gone from the album are ambient workouts like "Moss Garden" and "Art Decade". Instead the work showed a greater interest in twisting strange atmospheres into pop songs which would foreshadow the best parts of New Wave, as well as touching upon the post-punk movement that was running along the side of it at the same time.

The second half is Dark Side and some classics for the encoure including the best version of Run Like Hell you'll hear.

"Let There Be Love" is gorgeous when Anne does this with Dawn Langstroth; and the album ends very nicely with Anne Murray performing "In the Garden." "In The Garden" is another moving piece and it rounds out the CD perfectly.

Much has been said about the line-up of the band, so I feel it might be useless of my time (and therefore, yours too) to explain what Morphine's concept was at first of all. But an album like this just can't be missed, it's so full of energy, not in an intensity manner, but in a full streak of spirit here, even at their melancholic moments, in all Sandman's verses. The lyrics here are awesome too, in a "Kerouac-esque" sort of, focusing on affair situations, revealing a very affecting side of the band. My favourite ones here are, without hesitating, the pensive sears of "Candy" and [the self-explaning] title track.
+Fall to Pieces-10/10: One of the slowest songs on the album, it certainly isn't bad because of that,and stands as a very heartfelt song. An acoustic guitar starts it off behind Weiland's soul-searching vocals, and Slash continues it on with his combination of acoustic and electric guitar playing that is phenomenal, and his solo is truly beautiful. The chorus is great!

And "Save Me" is a bit out of place on the album, even though it is meaningful and gives us a glimpse of Rich's heart and struggles (and our own).  And there are the synthesizers....

+But on to the music. The opener, "Uncle Meat: Main Theme" is a vibe-led instrumental, backed by harpsicord and some snare work from Jimmy Carl Black (yes, the Indian of the Group!!), with some instruments that can't be identified (I'm not kidding ... look it up!), ending with some of Frank's sound effects and leading into a conversation with Susie Creamcheese, who explains her absence from the last two records and adds to FZ's "conceptual continuity", immediately segueing into "9 Types of Industrial Cheese", a rare glimpse into Frank's acoustic guitar stylings. Next, is the quirky "Zolar Czakl", an oddly metered, entirely indescribable piece of music that ends in a brief 45 seconds, before moving onto the screaming sax doo-wop of "Dog Breath, in the Year of the Plague", which is genre-defying in it's own way, breaking into some high-pitched vocals, and into some heavy classical in the middle section. As I'm sure you can tell, the music is utterly stunning and completely unlike anything heard before, either by contemporary music or Frank himself.

But that miffed-ness turned into nothing once Zack told the reason for his lateness. See, Penny performing, as it turned out, her last D.J duty for the evening putting on that much requested previously mentioned Could This Be Magic was finally called over by Zack and as the strains of the song echoed through the house he presented her with his class ring, just a while ago engraved with To P.P. Always 10/7/59. Magic.

+8823	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I'm not going to lie, Lodger is an album that took me a while to get used to. After listening to the other 2 albums of the Berlin trilogy (Low & Heroes) I was already expecting a similar sound for the 3rd album of the trilogy. Low was my very first Bowie album ever and I was instantly enchanted by it. Warszawa was the song on Low that made me realize Bowie's brilliance. Then I purchased "Heroes" and I can say I became a Bowie fan ever since. However, when I bought Lodger, it really took me some time to grasp it, since it was completely different from the other 2 albums. I must tell you in advance that the music in Lodger is a drastic change compared to the aforementioned albums. Lodger presents itself as a more laid back and pop oriented album in terms of musical structure. Nevertheless, the album is quite good. It grew on me with time. My personal favourites so far are: Move On, Look back in anger & Red Sails. If you're becoming a Bowie fan this album is essential. It's underrated and deserves to be recognized.
+Steely Dan puts most bands to shame.  At a time when most groups are just sampling (i.e., stealing from) old hits, Steely Dan continues to practice the art of composition, arrangement, and performance, with intelligent, sophisticated, and catchy songs.

+The bonus footage from the Gas Station (GG's last show, the day before he died) is the single strangest video I ever saw.  The band rehearses, then plays 1 1/2 songs before the power goes out, at which point GG goes completely nuts: breaking windows (buck naked of course) and getting bloody; fighting various crowd members; taking a dump and rubbing it all over himself; storming out to the NYC sidewalk in broad daylight covered in blood and feces, somehow eluding the police who responded to the scene while some of his fans began rioting; and walking for several blocks through Greenwich Village with a couple of creepy hangers-on, repeatedly talking about how he wants to score some heroin and get high; and finally getting into a taxi.  My favorite moment is when he runs into some biker outside a bar and after chatting briefly, the biker jovially sends him on his way with an entirely sincere-sounding "God bless, man!"

+Many of my fellow Amazon reviewers have written of the "commercial" nature of the songs, and I'm bit sure if that's what bothered me...maybe I just felt they were too "lightweight." I liked "Montana" (who wouldn't?), but beyond that one song, I felt Frank could write better songs in his sleep.
+"The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue" is a 7-minute instrumental piece that's as creatively jazzy as it is flat out bizarre in song structure.  It features saxophones that blurt out in somewhat obnoxious fashion, but never overbearingly so because it never screeches.  Interesting intro too- it sounds like the perfect soundtrack to an old-fashioned horror flick!  Speaking of memorable intros- you simply MUST hear the one from "Toads of the Short Forest".  It's extremely melodic.  The horns that occupy the rest of the track are pretty good too.

+Anyway, along with Frank Zappa's "Baby Snakes", I would have to call "Farewell" the ultimate Halloween party video.  The music is also available on CD, but the true Boingo enthusiast would not want to miss out on the live experience.  Danny Elfman's stage presence was always formidable, sometimes imposing; when you consider this man's overall musical output, in both rock and film soundtracks, and then watch what he does on stage, his consummate brilliance really hits home.  The way he utilizes theatrics, exotic dance moves (quasi-Balinese on "I'm So Bad") and good old bad-boy playing (his onstage roughhousing with bassist John Avila on "No One Lives Forever"), elaborate props (the gargantuan skeletons on "Dead Man's Party"), digressive instrumental line ups (accordion and troubador drum on "Helpless"), and yes, even the inevitable light show (on the psychedelic homage "Change") provides a showmanship that crosses genres, rivals anyone in any style of concert performance.
+But then the corner is turned.  My only lament with About to Die, is that it's too short.  They had a great thing going and should have developed it more.  Brooker should have seen that and jumped in.  Piggy is the most intense song I have every heard, especially the bonus track version (until the last 30 seconds or so).  The much maligned Whaling Stories is maligned by morons.  To pull that epic off without an orchestra is beyond parallel.  No 5 guys from Kansas could have done it, (without the violin man)  And Gary is still doing it.  The symphonic version, 2 albums hence was a letdown.  Your own Choice is a brilliant way to end this otherwise morose collection.

+8497	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	My ex-boyfriend and I were hanging out in our apartment when this CD came on the stereo. I had only heard of Morphine at that point, yet had never actually heard them.  Ironically enough (or not), although I liked the album when I heard it the first few times, it wasn't until my breakup with the aforementioned ex-boyfriend that this album really gripped me, and when I finally realized its true genius.  I was driving around with a friend, right after the break-up, when "Candy" came on. "Are you sure you want to hear this song right now?" she inqured. "Of course," I replied, in all of my self-torture, and even played "In Spite Of You" once or twice too, in between tears.  This album is absolutely gorgeous, especially if you are suffering.  (And if you're not suffering, then you'll be able to just enjoy its candid beauty, I'm sure).  The title is more than appropriate for this collection of sad, soulful, and well, just plain gorgeous, songs. . . There is really no way to classify this album in one genre, but it is an outstanding combination of jazz, blues, and rock and roll. Musically, it is genius. Lyrically, as well. And every tune is heartfelt and poignant, and pulls right at those proverbial heart-strings, but never in a bitter or excessive way. . .  This album is a remarkable companion to heartache/heartbreak, but is user-friendly enough that it can be listened to in almost any mood.  Ironically enough, perhaps, it provides great background music to a romantic trist.  Or even when you're hanging out alone in your pad, sipping a glass of wine, perhaps, and just wanting to hang out and be mellow. These guys have real and true talent, and every song is an emotional venture into the human psyche. And each song is exquisite, beautiful, intense. . . My faves are "A Head With Wings" (imagine the metaphorical possiblities!), "In Spite of Me" (a song which can surely make even the coldest heart melt), and "Sheila" (a song for all cat-lovers, as Shiela adores her cat so, and even "puts a spell on the cat, a beautiful cat. . . "). If you're looking into the mystique of Morphine, "Cure for Pain" is a wonderful way to start. . . this album is resplendent with wonder, and has the potential to make you feel wonderous. . .  It has cast a sort of spell on my soul, and I hope that it can do the same for you. . .
+This album also represents the musical high point of Springsteen's career.  Although he has always been and continues to be a talented songwriter, the greatest challenge to his success has been his accessibility.  Anybody who's started off trying to listen to The Ghost of Tom Joad or Nebraska knows what I'm talking about.  On this record, Bruce managed to fuse his songwriting talent with genuine popular appeal, creating a collection of songs which are instantly appealing, and actually upbeat, but which carry a much more serious and down-note message.  The contrast is fantastic--one of my favorite qualities of the record.

+On _nima_, Tool creates a 77-minute gargantuan slice of thought-provoking art-metal, which mainly encourages people to look deeper and think for themselves - whether it be looking beyond the surface of cliched beliefs (examples: what people are taught to believe in church, or what's seen and absorbed from television and more). When the mind is open to 'too' much outer influence, the mind is 'dead' - therefore, you lack your own thoughts and "you" no longer belong to "you".

+RAM, Paul McCartney's second solo album (originally issued in 1971), comes closer to the Beatles "sound" than any other post-breakup work the four individual members produced.

For melodicism, inventiveness and style this one simply cannot be beat.
+"True Devotion" sports the same synths and haunting atmospheric sounds as the Cars' "Drive", and I often compare the two.  There's a cogent comparison in this line:  "Yesterday's dreams like old magazines/they lie beside the bed."  She can handle ballads well enough, with the limited depth of her voice.
+I just have to say this is incredible!! IF somebody tells you it is horrobile they are lying through their teeth!!
+The biggest problem is the fact that the song "I Want to Live and Love" is here twice, once under it's name and once under the name "New Mule Skinner Blues."  That is an almost unexcusable error in a collection this important. (Their version of "New Mule Skinner Blues" is on Volume 2).

Life upon the wicked stage is the cleverest and most fun. Massie, McDonald and Cohn are overpowering in their Webber renditions. This is a collection of classic broadway material that only will become more precious as time passes, and some of the older performers can't do their magic anymore.  My ex-opera star friend was stunned by the performances and felt it was one of the best family evenings they have had in years (his children are 16& 18).  You will watch your favorite parts almost as often as teenage girls play N Sync.

+As for the special guests, Dean Martin wanders in for an imaginatively staged "Bummin' Around" before joining the star for a duet on Bobby Darin's "Things." Big Daddy Frank is not so much a guest as the recipient of a tribute at hour's end.

And let let me say, her tracks are stronger than the stuff found on her one and only solo LP from 1982. These are true new wave gems, as are the two other tracks by Jay Ferguson and Linn Van Hek. Wow. These are the kind of songs that should have gotten airplay on popular new wave stations, but went unnoticed because of unfamiliar artist names. If you are a hardcore lover of 80s new wave, you do not want to miss this stuff.

Not only that but I've been a fan of country and blues as well as rock for years and to have the lyrics of a country or blues song set to down home rock and roll with a little blues and a little country picking mixed in is a dream come true. Mack's humor pops up here and there then makes a hilarious run through Oreo cookie Blues. This guys a pretty fine vocalist too. I'm extremely happy with this one. If you like SRV's stomping guitar like his version of wham or rude mood or scuttlebuttin' you'll love songs like Double Whammy! Stevie plays on four tracks and there is another guitarist somewhere in there who's also pretty good. This is just great- stevie really knew how to bring out the best in one of his far away mentors.

This album is very lovely with some of the best songs Bob has ever written. I even think the power of these songs goes before On Fire! This album has an out of this world feel that I feel would appeal to a wide audience. If you are a heavy rocker then "I Am On The Rock" is for you and if you are a true quiet lover like me then the beautiful "Love" and "Prayer" are for you most certainly. I love "Love" ythe best. It is an awesome and gut wrenching song I will tell you!! The choir bit at the end really adds to the song! Petra never fail to make me mad! They bring out truth and hope and joy so clearly. These songs are life changing ones! EVERYONE LISTEN TO ME...BUY THIS CD NOW!

These last two weeks or so I've delved in to the Steely Dan collection, and I ain't finished yet... my god, it just keeps getting better and better... I bought Aja first, as it is their most famous one, and I was immediately hooked... Gaucho followed, and that was a revelation for me as well... both albums had quickly become my two favorite albums, and it was hard to pick a better one... then yesterday I bought this one... I heard the song Jack of Speed which I loved, and I heard parts of live versions of a couple of the other ones before I bought it, and man, this is one awesome album... Steely Dan can't go wrong... Gaslighting Abbie is a very funky number with great horn and clarinet flourishes throughout, but the highlight of it is the bass clarinet solo... yup yup, that's right, a bass clarinet, and it fits perfectly... the next two songs What a Shame about Me, and the title track are the two weakest tracks on the album, but Janie Runaway straight through to West of Hollywood is perfect... Janie Runaway is a kinda laid back funky little number which is very very good... Almost Gothic is awesome, with a great little muted horn solo... Jack of Speed is almost like the Peg of this album, it's the most radio friendly of the songs, but still, it is very much a part of the album, and is one of the strongest songs... Negative Girl is probably my favorite right now, with it's beautiful melody, and I love that, ummm, isn't that a xylophone solo in there? It's called vibes in the liner notes, anyways it's awesome... oh, and West of Hollywood has a 4 minute sax solo, which is TOTALLY awesome... this is one spectacular album... it's amazing to me how Steely Dan has actually been popular on radio and stuff all these years... but I'm glad, cause it's nice to hear good music on the radio... I questioned why these guys won the grammy awards back in february or whenever it was, but that was before I had any experience with their music... now I realize that it was the right decision... anyways, I babble... the bottom line is that this album is one of the best to come out in, well, since Guacho was released... so that would be like 20 years... it's less accessable then Aja and Guacho, but all that means is that you have to listen to it a few times... once you get into it, it's very rewarding... check it out, you won't be dissappointed!!!!...

+7925	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I'm just a beginner in my appreciation for the great Mel, but I get the feeling that this disc caught him with his jazz combo on a night when everything was hitting on all cylinders.  There is a feeling of joy in this  music, with Mel scatting and singing the ballads and generating a lot of  chemistry with the crowd at the Disney Institute.  Even when he slows the  pace down, really down, as with his version of "I Remember You"  there is a happiness in his voice that conveys contentment with his lot in  life, America's best living jazz vocalist when this was recorded (July 23,  1996).  He must have felt a real appreciation for Cole Porter, with three  songs on this disc.  Mel also shows off for the crowd just enough to let  everyone know that he's still got it.  I tend to like the ballads best  though, and my personal favorite is "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley  Square".  I'm not a jazz expert, but you don't have to be to love Mel  Torme, and I think this is a special recording of him at his best.

+the next few songs are equally terrific. 'rock 'n' roll with me,' is a grandiose statement, and a return somewhat to the days of ziggy and alladin sane.

+Then Zappa comes along.  He asks the musicians to interpret notation like an indeterminist (Food Gathering in Post-Industial America), but uses melody and harmony in a way that recalls Stravinsky (Dog Breath Variations).  He paints a picture of the landscape of his surroundings like a mid-20th century composer, but the picture he paints is one of excess, stupidity, and ignorance (Welcome to the United States).  He creates textures like a minimalist (Pound for a Brown), but uses them as a tool to lull the listener into a musical trap that explodes in his/her face.  He calls Varese a major influence, and has a similar percussive approach, but moves away from electronic music and into the wind ensemble (G-Spot Tornado).  In short, people will most likely be studying his work well into the 21st century.

+The consistency of quality, timbre and tone with Steely Dan  discs of yore is all the more remarkable when you consider that Becker,  Fagen and stalwart engineer Roger Nichols have dropped almost all of their  '70s star sidemen, relying instead on a cast of less-well-known (and  presumably younger) session players. This is good news, mind you, in one  particular important regard: Walter Becker plays almost all of the guitar  and bass on Two Against Nature, after having shucked such responsibilities  on many of the group's late '70s songs. Smart move--as the man's every bit  as much of a string genius as he is a songwriting savant.

+9820	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	One Of the best albums I have ever heard. Low is without a doubt David Bowie's best albums. He collaborated with the genius Brian Eno and together they made this album. A fast, dark and mysterious album called Low a masterpiece in it's self. Almost half the trakcs are instrumental but it's makes it even better the songs are beautifully crafted and produced and the instruments which are many managed to bring the best in it. I recomend every fan of music to purchase Low. Low isn't just the best Bowie album but it's among the best Albums Of All Time in my opinion and should be yours as well.

+A lot of ink has been spilled on the "Beatlesque" production, courtesy of Geoff Emerick (The man who twiddled the nobs on a little album called "Sgt. Pepper's"). But one thing that seems to set Bedroom apart from its predecessors is the fact that this is an album Costello pretty much composed on the piano, rather than the guitar.  More than anything that preceded it, Cocktail Lounge Cabaret & Rogers & Hart musical stylings take precedence over 1-2-3-4- Rock & Roll. All of which, might just account for any cries of "he's lost his edge".

+Eric Carr was not simply a drummer.  He played many instruments, was an accomplished vocalist, and had a broad range of musical knowledge and experience.  He definitely took his musicianship seriously.  I usually find drum solos boring, but Eric Carr's drum solos were different.  There was a creativity to his solos that shows he took the time and effort to make them different from the average drum solo.  He was also an excellent cartoonist and created a family of animated characters called the Rockheads.  I learned a lot about what a talented person Eric was but, in addition to all that, the main thing I took away from this DVD is what a good person Eric Carr was and how much he cared for his fans--according to Bruce Kulick, Eric sometimes opened up more to the fans than he did his own bandmates.  In turn, his fans, friends, and family were and remain devoted to him and in his memory. To me, these reminiscences and backstage/offstage films are the best tribute to Eric Carr the person, not a bunch of KISS live footage and official KISS-approved stuff that can be found on other DVDs.

The first half (songs 1-6)are pure Bowie weird pop/avant-garde/experimental cream, then comes in "A new career in a new town" wich seems like a mix between the first half of the album and the second half (wich consists of instrumentals that are top notch). The instrumental part of this album is very different from any other instrumental music i have ever heard, of course that is due mostly to Brian Eno. This album is one of Bowie's best albums of all times, I don't think you will be hearing anything like this ever again.

+But that said, I dare say, the songs themselves are a LOT more fun to listen to here, as opposed the the uptight and overly fussed with and mind-numbingly predictable predecsssor "Beneath The Mask". There's far more breathing room for each musician and a much looser organic sound in general. Chick actually goes rather sparing on the synths here, preferring to hit mainly pianos. One of the discs high points is "Ritual" a more biting electrified version of a piece that originally appeared on his excellent 1981 release "Three Quartets". "Tumba Island" is a rather odd yet endearing piece based on some dance music that Chick hear while on vacation on a particular island. Elsewhere, the twisty melodies fly and everyone sounds like they're having a ball playing, which is VERY important.

+God and Crucify are fittingly ordered consecutively.  I love the God video because that is where I discovered Tori Amos.  It's a video hard not to notice, with all of its religious symbolism, snakes, and rats.  Something about the way Tori let all those rats crawl all over her convinced me that this was a female singer I had to hear more from.  The green dress Tori wears while playing the piano in Crucify dazzles my eyes, and I can't say I mind seeing her wet, either.  Jackie's Strength is a lovely song.  The video features Tori in a wedding dress riding around town in a cab on her wedding day, and it opens with a number of shots of Jackie Kennedy.  The US version of Cornflake Girl is the only video I don't really care for, largely because it seems rather nonsensical to me.  Pretty Good Year is a minimalistic video featuring Tori piled up in a big chair surrounded by an empty room; it's not bad but it's also not a spectacular way to end the tape.

+Now, to some reviewers still believing that PF died with Syd then again with Roger, I say ENOUGH with the ranting.  If you don't like Pink Floyd with David Gilmour then listen to something else.  We know that the band started with Syd (actually Nick and Roger are the two first surviving members of the various pre-PF bands, which subsequently led to the formation of PF).  We also know that Dave "replaced" Syd (actually he was added to the band as support in case Syd would default, and was not intended to replace Syd - it just turned out this way).  Dave cared enormously for Syd as demonstrated by Dave's production efforts of Syd's later solo albums and other initiatives and tributes.  We also know that Roger is talented and a brilliant lyricist, and the inspiration behind many PF landmarks.  But Syd left on his own, and Roger left on his own.  So be it.  We can't change the past.  To his credit, David Gilmour did what he had to do after Roger's departure because he loved Pink Floyd as a band, which at the time, was not what could be said about Roger.  Roger would never have been musically as creative if it had not been for Rick, David and Nick.  The impact of Rick and David in particular on the musical orchestration is immense (watch the making of Dark Side of the Moon and you will discover how Rick impacted the musical direction of many songs).  The difference between a good and a great song often lies in subtle elements - like the famous guitar lines on Wish You Were Here or Shine on You Crazy Diamond.  I love Gilmour.  Bravo for Pulse.  The more I see of Pink Floyd, in ANY version, the better.  Like a real person PF has evolved and changed, they have LIVED a full and creative life.  Pulse is about being ALIVE.  If the remaining members had no talent, they would not be able to play such impeccable performance of the entire DARK SIDE live on stage 20 years after its original release. Because no matter your opinion, PF was still much better with Roger, than Roger is on his own, despite his undeniably impressive talent (and that of Jeff Beck) in "Amused to Death".  I like what Roger is doing, but I am not criticizing his work because he left PF.

+And we come to the "live" disc. I have never understood people's fascination with it. Frankly, I'd give it one star, and only because there is no no-star rating. It bores me to tears! The endless, brainless noodling, Eric going on way too long and audibly looking for inspiration in the middle of "Spoonful", instead of giving some air time to Bruce. What does Bruce get? An exhausting marathon on the harmonica. A completely uninteresting song, but let's give Bruce credit for technical proficiency and for energy, except... wait a minute - isn't he one of the finest bassists in history? Who the heck thought it was a good idea to feature him on a harmonica!? Why not a solo on bass that would compensate for overlong Eric? Do we have Ginger playing a xylophone for ten minutes? Nooooo... I hate this "live" disc. Truth is, except for Hendrix I've never heard a 3-piece band that could really fill the room with coherent sound (that's sound, not noise) - consider how much is going on in the studio, on the same songs that sound like nothing live, just showpieces for virtuosic but meaningless noodling. It's pretty hilarious to think that here we have one of the most famous guitarists in history, and a bass player that follows close behind, but the only thing that gives me any pleasure is Mr. Baker's inimitable drumming.

+In "Big Brother and the Chant of the Ever Circling Skeletal Family" Bowie seems to be praising some ubermensch-type person:  "someone to blame us/someone to follow/someone to shame us/some great Apollo/someone to fool us/someone like you/we want you Big Brother."  The chant part begins with a fuzzy guitar and chants of "brother" and "shake it up" before ending with a repeated tape loop.

So they picked up old comrades Rick Wakeman and Bill Bruford (who hasn't worked with these three as a group in 16 years!) to reinvent the old classic Yes sound. Yes co-founder and bassist Chris Squire didn't participate because legally the name Yes was considered still active at the time. So, our friends adopted the law firm name of Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe (much like the law firm name Dewey, Cheatham, Wright and Howe!)

So, although half of this cd disappoints (well, maybe that's not the word, but I can't think of a better one), the other half is worth listening to. I can't help but be entranced by the first track 'John and Yoko', which is nothing but the two happy lovers repeating each other's names over and over again. Boring? To some maybe, but I find it strangely affecting and have found myself listening to it over and over. The soothing sound of a heartbeat backs the track, and John's guttural screams, and soft whispers, are just as beautiful as his singing voice. The mantra continues for 20 some minutes, and ranges from trepidation to questioning, lustful, angry, inquisitive, humorous, etc. There are two particular moments I find interesting, one occurs at about 3:30, the other at 20 some minutes, the former where Yoko emits a long, loud wail, with John matching her at the same exact pitch (sends shivers down my spine!) the latter where Yoko sings in a singsong voice, with Lennon following up in the same pitch.

+The next five videos are taken from Ray Of Light. The ninth video in this collection is Frozen (10/10, 10/10). Madonna returned in 1998 as it went straight to No. 1 - her first UK No. 1 since 1990's Vogue. The beautiful ballad and haunting vocals are amazing and the video is perfect for it. It is set at night in a desert. Madonna is a witch as we can see that the black liquid on the floor is her energy that seeps into the ends of her fingers. Very spooky, yet beautiful. Ray Of Light (10/10, 10/10) is a Madonna classic, both musically and visually. The video won a record 6 MTV Video Music Awards in September 1998. The video took 10 weeks to film as it's all speeded up. Yet another fantastic video from Madonna...do they ever get rubbish?! Drowned World/Sustitute For Love (9/10, 8/10) is the eleventh video in The Video Collection. The song is about how Madonna has finally realised that family and friends are more important than fame and money - the two factors she was only interested in the 1980's and the early 1990's. The Power Of Goodbye (10/10, 10/10) is the twelth video. Madonna plays chess with a man in a beach-house. It a very green video and exremely scenic! Madonna kisses the man before disappearing into the sea... Nothing Really Matters (10/10, 10/10) is the thirteenth video in this collection. I found this video to be very intersting, rather disturbing if I'm honest. It shows Madonna racing around like a nutcase while lots of Chinese/Japanese children follow her around. An exceptional piece of work with great acting by Madonna.

This helps keep the interest and makes the five spanish songs actually stand out. Here are the tracks: 1.(DA  LE) YALEO: This is an excellent spanish song. The guitar solos and drum  beats are wonderful. Great stadium rock. 2. LOVE OF MY LIFE (ft. Dave  Matthews): This slow love song has a great feel to it. The jumping vocal  acrobatics by Matthews certainly help this song take off. 3. PUT YOUR LIGHTS  ON (ft. Everlast): This is a great, gritty rock song. Everlasts vocals  sound so much more intimidating when they are laced with Carlos' excellent  guitar. 4. AFRICAN BAMBA: This has a very addicting spanish chant that is  repeated over and over (ella baila la Portugueza). It's pretty good.  5. SMOOTH (ft. Rob Thomas): What can I say about this song that hasn't  already been said? It's simply a terrific song, and the best on the album.  6. DO YOU LIKE THE WAY (ft. Lauryn Hill & Cee-Lo): Don't expect to hear  any real chorus to this rap song, but it is a nice, diverse track and any  rap with spanish guitar in the background is cool. 7. MARIA MARIA (ft.  Wyclef Jean & The Product G&B): This is the best work that Wyclef  has ever done. This is a really good track, the vocals are really good and  the beat is very addictive. 8. MIGRA: This spanish song has really excellent  drum beats and hand claps and even though it's in a different language it's  still very catchy. A good dance song. 9. CORAZON ESPINADO (ft. Mana): This  sounds like a standard latin song but Carlos has a way of making it sound  fresh and very catchy. I didn't think I'd like it, but I did. 10. WISHING IT  WAS (ft. Eagle-Eye Cherry): Cherry's voice fits this song very well. It's  really quite good, doesn't sound like the rest of the album. 11. EL FAROL:  This is the first of two instrumental tracks. I swear that I've heard this  song before. Anyway, it's kinda boring but okay. 12. PRIMAVERA: We sang this  one in my Spanish Class :)! This is a really cool latin song and, again,  very catchy. 13. THE CALLING (ft. Eric Clapton): The second and more boring  of the instrumental tracks. I wouldn't choose it to end the album. It's  almost eight minutes long.

Carlos Santana has always been the epitome of cool, class and mad talent.  That hasn't dulled with time, and he definitely hasn't softened with time.  Carlos just has a deeper realized sazon (flavor), now.  "Well," thought the producers of this album, "what better way to introduce Carlos Santana to the younger generation, than through blending his sound with a bunch of other artists that emerged in the last ten years or so?"  Very intriguing idea.  Does it work? On some cuts, it succeeds very well!

+You'll also experience Yoko answering a good chunk of the interviewers questions, even though Lennon is obviously the one who should be in charge concerning questions and answers.  What's especially hilarious is how many times Yoko basically just repeats whatever John says immediately after, making her answers nothing more than a second unnecessary voice in the background, which therefore drags this album on even *longer*.  UGH!!

+The theatrics are just over the top. I can't help but believe that this DVD provides the best seat in the house. For anyone having actually attended the concert, I'm sure a lot was lost visually. So much of the concert takes place behind the Wall. And, there are tens of thousands of concert goers - dare I say hundreds of thousands. I doubt the audio could have been that good for them. For the DVD viewer, the audio is excellent. Furthermore, the DVD blows the viewer away with the vastness of it all.
+
+The album itself is probably the Petra cd I listen to the most. "Unseen Power" and the underrated "Wake-up Call" are very close though. This album has a "Big" arena sound that makes it that much better to listen to. You also have a classic rock formula here, that is open with a heavy song and slow down in the middle, get heavy again and close with a ballad. There is nothing wrong with that at all and I really think Petra and/or their marketing people had it right when this was released.
+3267	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	I rented this thinking it would be intersting since I'd heard some bizarre stories about this "GG Allin"-dude .....What a joke! He was just a talentless, self-indugent animal with no repsect for other people. Don't even waste your time. The music completely Sucks...you can't understand what he barks into the mic...he beats on members of the audience just for fun....he took a dump on stage, etc.  It's a bit amusing for about 10 minutes but gets boring quick.
+5)  Spectacle - I think this is where the album really starts.  Great, solid, driving rock song.  Good contrast between Slash's pulsating squeal and Duff/Kushner's low-end sound in the verse, fast paced, aggressive, and hard hitting.  I like this song.  8.5/10
+710	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	When the movie `Billy Elliot', written by Lee Hall and directed by Stephen Daldry, hit the cinemas in the year 2000, both the critics and the audiences where somewhat taken aback. It became an instant success, defying the customs of the day by not having star names or a big Hollywood blockbuster director in its credit lines. A simple story, about a young talented boy growing up in the English north, during the 1984 miners strike against Margaret Thatcher's conservative government, wanting to pursue his dream of becoming a ballet dancer and thusly going against everything his own establishment and surroundings stood for (beautifully summarised in a phrase used in both the movie and the musical: `ballet is for poofs'), seemed to deliver the message and hit the critics and the cinemagoers alike. Apart from these accolades the movie got several BEFTA and Academy Award nominations.

+2112	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	While the overall remastering of the sound is good (could use more bass though), it's the reMIXING i'm a little ify about.  Some of it is good, but a lot of it ISN'T.  Long time fans of the film and accompanying CD will notice several things in the performance that weren't there before.  Extra vocal ad libs (one of which during "Shaking the Tree" when it can clearly be seen that Gabriel's lips aren't moving, and another at the tail end of "Secret World" where his voice suddenly sounds a whole octave lower - strange.

+Opiate consists of four studio and two live tracks; already we establish this CD assumes a fairly unique format. Essentially an EP, although clocking in at a considerable running time, it sandwiches two live tracks between the studio efforts 'Part of Me' and the title track 'Opiate' itself, a superb musical attack on the failings and folly of organised religion, or those who follow it (at least in my interpretation: Tool above all remind us to maintain an open minded attitude) which, sadly, is the only track on this release that makes its way into contemporary setlists with any regularity.

+7031	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Please take "A. Hansraj 'Music Lover'"s review on this page with a grain of salt (or disregard it altogether).  If this critic was, indeed, a music lover, they would have known that this a collection of early Isaacs hit singles that predate many of his album releases (i.e., "Night Nurse" and "Cool Ruler").  This does not make these tracks inferior nor does it disqualify them as "the Best."  As a matter of fact, an argument can be made that these songs are better than many of those found on those later, though still quality, releases.  This is Gregory at the peak of his vocal powers with class-A material backing him up.  ALL of these numbers were massive hits on the Jamaican charts, before he went international in his fame.  As good Reggae as you'll find.  Anyone even mildly interested in the genre needs to have some Isaacs in their collection (as well as Dennis Brown, Culture, Gladiators, Wailing Souls, Mighty Diamonds, Lee Perry productions, etc.).  You may as well start here... it doesn't get much better than this!
+I bought the cd the day it came out and I love it. The lyrics are powerful and heart-felt and Scott is just the man to sing them. Matt Sorum's drumming skills haven't lessened at all and Duffs bass is better than ever.

It may not be unbelievably heavy (like Slayer or Hatebreed), but it still rocks, and it has intellegent, thought-provoking lyrics that actually might be a little harder to figure out. Each song is great, you don't even have to skip any tracks. If you like one song, you'll like them all. This whole album is just an experience (sorry to quote the title again, but it's true). I recommend buying it, putting it on LOUD, and just get lost....lost in a world of Tool. Recommended.

+Elvis was armed with an unparalleled batch of new songs.  Produced by one-time Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick, and with the Attractions at the top of their game, the album absolutely soars from the first note to the last.

+3514	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	At best, Supernatural is mediocre. It has some good moments....especially Maria Maria. However, it failed to mesmerise me and so many others have claimed. Carlos Santana has been much heralded as a genius and "living  legend". However, all he has done is "resurrected" his  fledging career by producing a commercial record he knew would sell. His  past records barely made an impact on any charts. Those albums did NOT  include collaberations. The credit for Supernatural goes to the artists he  worked with. The guitar work done by Carlos, any established guitarist can  do. Even so, the actual songs are nothing special. "Smooth" has  been killed to death by radio and has become downright annoying. "Put  your lights on" is the MOST BORING song i've ever heard!. "Maria  Maria" is the only shining light. Significantly its an R&B/Hip hop  song which is the complete antithesis of Santana's usual sound. In essence,  don't waste your money on this CD. It has been grossly overrated and is, to  tell you the truth, quite boring.

+3782	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Say what you will about Metallica, but one thing you can't deny is that they always put out the best home video releases, especially when it comes to them playing live.  Cunning Stunts was recorded before "ReLoad" was released, and features the boys at their best.  "Fade To Black", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Creeping Death", "Nothing Else Matters", "King Nothing", "So What", and "Sad but True" are all brought to life live great, but there are a few minor gripes.  Kirk does mess up a bit on the solo to "One", and on some of the older songs (like the Kill/Ride medley) James seems like he's having trouble remembering his parts.  But, the good outweighs the bad in the end, besides the great concert, the DVD features are outstanding, and the picture and sound quality can't be beat; this is how a concert DVD should be done.  All in all, this is an essential item if your a Metallica fan, and it is worth every penny.
+3. At the exact moment of the end of time, someone or something was making so VERY much noise, that it has imprinted on this 'echo.'
+The brilliance of Low lies in its ability to convey a sublimely unconscious form of expression. Each song sounds as if it could be the product of a daydream. It sounds as though Bowie were able to tap into the inner workings of his thought patterns and follow them wherever they led, whether the result appeared logical or not. As a result, the imagery bounces from place to place, like thoughts formulating before they are formed into words. They are cacophonous, mischievous, distracting, exhausting.  "Breaking Glass" is only one sublime example of this: "Lately I've been breaking glass in your room again. See. Don't look on the carpet. I've done something awful on it." What in the world could that mean? "What in the World", "Always Crashing in the Same Car" and "Be My Wife" all follow similar methods of surreal expression, while sounding thoroughly unique from one another.

+6040	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Home is Procol's fourth album; it found them at something of a crossroads, having seen the resignations of Matthew Fisher and David Knights (bass player) following A Salty Dog, widely acknowledged as PH's masterpiece.  They took a page from the Doors' book, hiring Chris Copping to double on keyboards and bass (a la Ray Manzarek, who often added keyboard bass on stage and, on the first 2 LPs at least, in the studio - they did use actual bassists from Waiting for the Sun onward in the studio, such as Doug Lubahn); whenever a song could do without guitar, Robin Trower took up the bass and Copping focused on the keys.  The quarter formula seems to have worked out well for them.
+Once I was in a Cafeteria and heard "Aria" they were showing a commercial for Toyota and I totally "tuned" everyone out and sought out where that music was coming from.... when I reached the TV I was looking as in awe (which made everyone notice me) but I could not stop from smiling from my insides and letting the song just flow over me. Okay so I'm corny but it does inspire you to think of another place, literally taking you away from here.

+
+8865	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is the final album in which David Bowie and Brain Eno collaborated and it is by far the more accessible of the three.  No lingering after-effects of the instrumental heavy Low and "Heroes," Lodger is more pop-oriented and straight-forward.  You can hear the experimental overtures throughout, but they work well here.  Standouts include Fantastic Voyage, D.J., Look Back In Anger, and my personal favorite Red Sails.  Great effort.  Refreshing to hear Bowie making strides back to perfection.
+7179	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Really well put together album
+The overall impression left by " Touch" is one of relaxation. The opening track, " Touch", implores the listener to slink away to the land of guilty pleasures..... while delivering in a pristine manner. "Waterwheels" sounds as though it might have been a nice lullabye for the tots of this era, including myself, born the summer of this album's release. All of the songs have a stand-out quality, products of a real musician with a hypnotic power. Feel free to stop the CD after track seven; " Walk With Me My Love and Dream" is cheesy, at best, odd at worst. Clever, I suppose, if one takes this as a concept album of romance, relaxation and wonder, but it comes off as a very bad Barry White rip-off set to cloying music. It ruined my overall take-away the first time around, but in context, one stumble amid greatness is forgivable.
+4669	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	There's great pop music and then there's Steely Dan; a band that draws no comparisons because quite frankly, no band has ever come close to holding a candle to the brilliance of this outfit.

+1797	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	With David Bowies recent death, it seemed appropriate to take a look at this concert film by D. A. Pennebaker (Monterey Pop).  Bowie had just completed a world tour with The Spiders, culminating in this final show on July 3, 1973 at Londons Hammersmith Odeon Theater.  He announces at the end of the show that this is also the final show with this band.  The band is led by the great rock guitarist, Mick Ronson, with Trevor Bolder on bass, Mick Woodmansey on drums and others in a backing role.  Aside from the full concert, we get backstage peeks at costume and makeup changes and see that Bowie is in charge of many of the details as to how he looks.  Which, if you didn't know included an androgynous profile which include short skirts and even shorter briefs.

Yes, that Fender Rhodes is still there! Gaslighting Alley was lifted from the movie of the same name. 'What a Shame About Me' chronicles a record-store worker living day to day who runs into his old girlfriend, now a star. Two Against Nature is kind of self-autobiographical. Janie Runaway is about a girl who hops a bus to NYC and finds a Sugar Daddy. Almost Gothic is about a guy who's in love with a girl, but he's not sure he can believe what she says. Jack of Speed-the title says it all. Cousin Dupree...about a guy who has the hots for his cousin (only from the mind of Steely Dan).
+Like Eddie said in the first Cruisers movie: "Words and music, Word-man" - and that's what makes Overnight Sensation the album it is.  Not the Dylan type poetry, because that wouldn't fit Frank's music in the first place.  Nope, it took one as unique as Zappa to write the incredible guitar on Dirty Love and combine it with the sexual perversions of poodle logic, yielding a masterpiece of fusion.  The entire album is consistently excellent, completely complete in every way.

For instance, Aenima has 15 tracks, but only 9 real songs (the 6 other tracks are pretty much noises and crap).  That's not the only reason Opiate is excellent (in other words, because it doesen't have any crappy songs), they've got a really cool blend of sounds ("Sweat" sounds like a cross between Nirvana and Metallica), and they're really good to listen to if you want to get pumped up, etc.  If you're a TOOL fan, you should definetly get this.

+9316	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Tool's "Aenima" was the turning point for the band. Where they stepped out of the style they had been working on with the "Opiate" EP and the commercially successful "Undertow" and created something completely different and unheard of. Whereas the band's sound was slightly more accessible before, on "Aenima" the songs have less definition and are open to multiple interpretations. The songs (if they can even be called that) are monolithic and unpredictable. Even today, I can still find new things each time I listen. From Maynard's cryptic and pessimistic lyrics, to the groove carved out by the amazing rhythm section of Justin Chancellor and Danny Carrey and the massive riffs of Adam Jones, this is truly the album that keeps giving.

+1. Too Many People - Killer opener. It rocks and I love the frantic guitar that closes out the song. It sounds a bit like a Plastic Ono Band send up both lyrically - controversial in those days - and vocally alot like something John would have done. The thing that sets the song apart from that band the superior melody work, unmistakingly McCartney.

Now, and really even during his career Frank Zappa was mostly known for his satirical comedy in his lyrics and his vituosic guitar playing which is fine and good because he was amazing at both, however Zappa was also one of the greatest arrangers of classical and jazz that the world has ever known, as well as one of the most inventive and innovative, and that is often disgarded and overlooked, and The Grand Wazoo does a wonderful job of showing all of showing all of Zappa strong suits.

+Niggles - when "Baker Street" was released as a 7" single on 3 Feb 1978 in the UK - it caused an absolute radio sensation. Economically paired down for single release, it packed a HUGE PUNCH. The result - it was played daily - and I mean globally. In the USA alone it clocked up over 1 million radio plays in its first year alone and has been a Rock Radio staple ever since. The point? Track 2 is the full 'album version' running to 6:11 minutes, but the 7" single is an edit at 4:10 minutes and is by far the most commonly known cut - to the point where the full album version may even seem odd to some people. And yet this much-loved single version isn't on a 'Collectors Edition' - a really dumb and sloppy omission. Again the other 2 tracks issued as 7"s off the album were "Whatever's Written In Your Heart" and "Right Down The Line" - also 7" edits at 5:15 and 3:42 minutes respectively - but again a no-show on either. There's ample room for all 3 edits on Disc 1 and they should be on here.

This lead to Bruces famous stadium tours that left him exhausted, but showcased his music to a wider audience. Although the title track has been overplayed and feels slightly cliched as a result, it still has great power when it starts and this album has so many great tracks that you are left in awe at the amount of talent on one CD. From excellent, more low key tracks such as `Cover Me' to `Darlington County' via full on rockers like `Glory Days' and `Bobby Jean' and touching on the more brooding and moving songs like `I'm on Fire' and `My Hometown', this albums has a selection of tracks to suit any mood or taste. All of this, coupled with the now iconic album cover and you will have in your hands a slice of music history that has rarely been surpassed.

There is the standard release, the deluxe version and for some of us, the Classic Rock Fanpack version featuring the new album, with some slightly different bonus tracks, a full color 132 page magazine about the new album, interviews with all members, and stories of the past, present, and future.  Plus there is a review of every Skynyrd album pre and post plane crash, as well as the best live and compliation offerings.  There is also an exclusive poster, pin and keychain.  The whole deal cost $20.00 through the UK magazine website, and it totally worth it for the TRUE Skynyrd fanatic!  The magazine alone is worth the price, and you get a better understanding of why the band continues to record and tour, and believe me, it's not just about the money.  The new album is pretty darn good.  Not comparable to the old stuff, but this is a different Skynyrd now, and with that in mind, their winning streak that started with Vicious Cycle continues with Last of a Dyin' Breed.  Really good rock n roll, something that the Stones or The Who making new albums in this day and age, would not be classics like their 70's stuff is, but good old rock and roll.  Definitely worth picking up if your a fan, and if you are slurge a bit and get either the deluxe version or the fan pack.

+8643	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is David Bowie's interpretation/homage to George Orwell's masterpiece, "1984". Regardless of whether or not you have read Orwell's novel, you'll surely love, or at least like, or at the very least, appreciate, Bowie's venture into the realm of the frightening and apocalyptic vision of the reign of the "Diamond Dogs." The only radio-friendly singles to be found on this album are the title track, and "Rebel Rebel," which are both magnificent songs. The best tracks on the album? Hardly. But I guess that all depends on the criteria by which you judge. If you are a die-hard Bowie fan, then you will very likely have more appreciation for the other lesser- known songs on the album, some of which are somewhat difficult to ingest, but even if you are not one of those insatiable Bowie fans (to which group I myself pertain), then you might at least acknowledge the mystery and intensity of Bowie's approach. . . Nobody in the rock business quite expresses themself in the way that Bowie does, and this album provides substantial proof for such a claim. Some of his best lyrics are to be found on this album. "Candidate" for example: "I'll make you a deal, like any other candidate/ we'll pretend we're walking home because your future's at stake/ my set was amazing and even smells like the street/ there's a bar at the end where I can meet you and your friend". . . Revolutionary, yes, this album is ever so much so. . . Bowie would have been hounded by the Mc Carthy era agents were this album to have been produced during that time! Even so, this album might be problematic for some people who do not (or are afraid to acknowledge) that the threat of "Big Brother" is always looming before us, eager to deprive us of our liberties as free-thinking individuals. This is the closest that Bowie has ever come to reflecting upon politics in an album (well, he kind of did so on "Scary Monsters", but not in such a straightforward way). . . "Because hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing" he sings. This is not a light-hearted album, and certainly not for the faint-of-heart or the close-minded. Bowie as politico: it may seem strange, but on this album, it is true. He has made allusions to figures such as Che Guevara (in "Alladin Sane") in the past, and even poked a certain amount of fun at Richard Nixon (on "Young Americans"), but this is the closest that Bowie comes to approaching the realm of politics. There is an isolated "love song" (although it is one of the cautious and jaded sort), "Rock and Roll with Me," but the rest of the oeuvre on "Diamond Dogs" is of a very different nature. . . "We are the Dead" is perhaps the counterpoint to "Rock and Roll with Me": the imminent threat of "Big Brother" overwhelms the romantic notions between lovers which would otherwise remain free and intact. . . "We're tomorrow's scrambled creatures/locked into tomorrow's double feature/ Heaven's on the pillow/ as silence competes with hell. . . Because of all we've seen/ because of all we've said/ we are the dead". . . Major Tom, Alladin Sane, and Ziggy Stardust seem to have been replaced by a very frightened (and, of course, still wonderfully androgynous; this is Bowie, after all!) and prophetic character who senses a sort of apocalypse in all of our human actions/deeds/misdeeds. This album was made in 1974, and it remains more than pertinent today, in which we are all terrified of the threat of war and destruction. . . In fact, I was listening to this album while driving around one day, and finding both pro-war and anti-war demonstrators on a street corner, and it could not have been any more appropriate. . . "The Chant of the Ever Circling Skeletal Family" was playing as I drove by the manifestors/protestors, and that moment in time seemed almost frozen. . . I do not know how Bowie feels about what is occuring in our country in regard to the Middle East, but I do find that this album manifests many of the conflicting emotions that we are all feeling at the moment. . . The demo version of "Candidate" on this album strikes me as especially poignant, however. . . shall we "pretend that we are walking home", then?

Just one fruit bite, and then they bring out a flaming desert that turns heads with the rocking, slightly creepy melodies of "Whispers in the Dark".  Then sit back, relax and end this feast of the aural cavities with a Wow-Thanks-Prayer; "Looking For Angels",  As a chow-hound who has purchased numerous albums for one song - only to find myself constantly gagging and spitting from the others on the album, I'm liking this one.

+In case, you're interested I also own the Japanese SACD, which is just OK as well, but no much better than the old Asylum vinyl copies and about the same as the 180g vinyl. The sound is clear to the point where it's a bit sterile. The SACD also has a 5.1 mix, which I find interesting. But I also think multi-channel music is about as interesting as 3D TV. It sounds like a cool idea, but, it turns out, it isn't really worth the bother. If you've never heard multi-channel mixes, it's weird. If you turn your head, the sound stage shifts. This doesn't happen with movies, because you keep your face toward the screen. But unless you're an audiophile who is more interested in listening to gear over enjoying great music, you aren't going to just stare at space in between your speakers for the length of and entire album. Just my take.

Twista flows smoothly from track to track, the production was nice and the guest appearances weren't bad themselves. Its sad that Twista changed his whole style around and put out that garbage album The Day After. I strongly recommend this album over The Day After anyday.
+It's not quite Joy Division, (though there are STARTLING similarities!) but we're certainly not dancing round the fertility pole on May-Day here.

Beautiful in all the right places, but violent lyrically with a violin part that'll rattle your sensibilities then prompt you to check the sleeve photos and have a good hard look into Sandy Denny`s eyes....
+This CD is.. different. They experiment more with Revolution 9/Merzbow-like sound collages, such as Cesaro Summability and (-)ions, and music that's just weird, especially the belligerent "Message To Harry Manback," which contains one of the prettiest piano melodies known to man with some guy cursing about this guy he hates (he sounds like a mixture between Arabic and Puerto Rican).

+Imogen, on the other hand, deserves all the praise she can get. This girl has now formed a band called Frou Frou, but her one and only solo album stands out as one of the forgotten gems of the last decade - a combination of Fiona Apple's 'When the Pawn' and Tori Amos's 'From the Choirgirl Hotel' is what it most closely resembles.

It's a pity that the video transfer didn't have better quality. As David Gilmore explained, the concert was initially shot in video, not in film, and that was OK for the VHS at that time; they had a hard time transferring it to DVD because the quality was not up to today's standards; I wasn't expecting a miracle but it was dissapointing to see that the image has so many flaws. Besides, the screen films are presented in round format, which may be OK for the concert but these are actually videos that should have been added to the 2 videos included in this DVD.

It's also very helpful to be able to read other people's reviews of the SACD version because not all SCADs are created equal. All the reviews I read prior to purchasing this SACD myself were very positive.
+1524	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This concert easily merits a five star rating, but I am reasonably sure that this DVD version differs oh so slightly from  the VHS and LaserDisc versions.  For example, some audience clap-along at the end of a brief acoustic guitar bit seems to have been erased, a few shot selections seem to have been altered, and I'm fairly sure that some rehearsal footage has been substituted in place of "event" footage in an area other than the areas previously acknowledged.  I've been watching this show on VHS and LaserDisc for many years, and watching the DVD, well, something seemed a bit "off" in spots.  It isn't something I can point a finger to, but I sensed a few barely perceptible adjustments and changes here and there.

Personally, I'm thrilled for the guys. Their surprising victory at the Grammys, and their recent induction into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame were LONG overdue. Walter Becker & Donald Fagen are two of the most intelligent dudes in the music biz. Every album they've created in their laboratory (i.e. the recording studio) is the epitome of cool. I've always dug their unique blend of pop/rock with several shots of jazz. Not a bad record among their whole catalog. Who cares that they're now in their 50's? Steely Dan are STILL hip cats to be reckoned with. Listening to the Dan's comeback album, "Two Against Nature," you'd never guess that these guys had ever gone away. 20 years? It sounds like they picked up right where they left off after "Gaucho," a mere 20 DAYS after recording it! In fact, "Two Against Nature" sounds like a great blend between the styles of "Aja" with "Gaucho." It's laid back, but punchy at the same time, with the hallmark Dan sound gracing every track (as well as Fagen's solidly cool voice). Every single song clicks, starting with "Gaslighting Abbie" straight through to the grand finale, the jammin' "West Of Hollywood." Like Steely Dan's best waxed hot ones of the past, "Two Against Nature" is a *groovy* record. It's the Album Of The Year, and deservedly so. It's classy music speaks for itself. Congratulations, Walt & Don, and welcome back. :-)
+The musicianship on this recording is jaw-dropping and awesome.  There's some great "fusion" music going on here that finds the ensemble of 10 musicians playing impossibly fast lines all in unison (Echidna and Don't You Ever Wash That Thing).

+2605	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Yes, you read right: this video performance is responsible for bringing back original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss, and this video is excellent.  In 1995 when Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Bruce Kulick, and Eric Singer were touring all over the country holding their own expos, fate (actually Eric Singer, according to what the interviews at the beginning of this video said) led to Ace Frehley and Peter Criss appearing at a few expos, performing on MTV's "Unplugged" show with Simmons, Stanley, Kulick, and Singer, and then eventually rejoining the band and KISS finally putting their makeup back on.  As for the video, it shows KISS performing on "Unplugged" in August 1995.  Here they were performing their material from the 70's, 80's, and 90's on all accoustics and the material they chose to perform included "Got To Choose", "I Still Love You", "Everytime I Look At You" (for which a symphony joined them in their performance), among other classic KISS songs.  I would have liked to see "Detroit Rock City" performed on accoustic guitar, but since this performance was responsible for bringing back Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, this video still gets five stars.  Halfway during the performance is when you get to see Frehley and Criss go on stage to perform with Simmons, Stanley, Kulick, and Singer. After a few more songs are performed, the show is ended with Simmons, Stanley, Kulick, Singer, Frehley, and Criss performing "Rock and Roll All Nite" all together, and it sounds excellent.  There are also interviews with the band members and video clips from the expos before you get to see the band perform, and there is a commentary at the end of the video.  It is really a shame that Ace and Peter have left the band again: Peter was fired, and Ace actually left the group to work on his new solo album.  It is  also too bad that everyone in the original line up of KISS isn't able to work together-they are a great band, and I am hoping that they will release a new studio album.  Anyway, get this video because it is awesome and KISS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The claustrophobic effect of the music is aided by piano stabs and horror movie orchestral flourishes.

No, but how could it be, when everyone has different favorite songs?  Notable American hits that are missing are: "Under Pressure" with Queen, "This is Not America" with the Pat Metheny Group, "Dancing in the Street" with Mick Jagger, "Day-In Day-Out" and "Never Let Me Down".  There are too many missing British hits to mention.  Probably the most questionable decision was to include a 1990 remix of "Fame", instead of the original version.  Still, it's an excellent sampler of Bowie's work.
+By 1989, we are introduced to a socially conscious Janet with "Rhythm Nation 1814." Most of the videos from this era are in black and white.  The reason for this?  Because it helped Janet to convey the point that there should be no "color lines."  The videos for "Rhythm Nation" and "Miss You Much" both had incredible dance sequences.  "Escapade" and "Alright" illustrated a very happy, playful, whimsical Janet (and also included dance sequences.)  "Come Back to Me" has very sad lyrics, and Janet's facial expressions throughout the video are ones of a disheartened person.  This video was shot in Paris and features her then boyfriend, Rene Elizondo.  "Love Will Never Do (Without You) is the first video where Janet bared much skin and displayed a more provocative side.  In the video, she is intimately close to men and is just much more sexy than before.  She continued her "sexy phase" with the "That's the Way Love Goes" video (from her 1993 "janet." LP.  In this video, Janet comes off as playful and light-hearted.  "Whoops Now" (from "janet") and "Runaway" (from "Design of a Decade" are also light-hearted, colorful videos.

+I can say that the audio quality is first rate. There is a unique type of 5.1 reproduction that can be set-up where it has a higher bit rate, along with the normal 5.1 and of course basic stereo. The narrative in the DVD case explains that the higher bit rate 5.1 can give higher quality, however it might not be supported by older equipment. My 3-year-old Sony DVD player and new (less than 6 month old) Sony digital receiver seem to support the higher bit rate, and since I could switch back and forth between both 5.1 effects via my remote during play, I could tell some subtle differences, but it did not have enough of a change to make me feel that there is any less quality from the standard 5.1 rendering. Regardless of which set-up you use, the sound is fantastic. My rear speakers stayed busy and the sound did that classic "Pink Floyd" transition from side to side and front to back with perfect smoothness. When in the middle of "Learning to Fly" an aircraft in the stage screen video comes right at the camera and passes from front to back, the aircraft sound transitions from speaker to speaker in a way that makes you believe the plane flew through your living room and exited out the rear wall.

The last third of the album is made up entirely of hit singles - truly an impressive accomplishment that you can actually manage to CLOSE an album as such.

His voice is heavenly and angelic and can take the listener to wonderful places.  This DVD is a record of songs taken from two 1996 concerts at Ellis Island.  He sings a number of well-known songs, primarily from the Simon and Garfunkel era, and as he does he pays homage to Paul Simon's song-writing.  He also sings some songs from his solo career and other favorites from the Everly Brothers (Crying in the Rain) for which he is joined by James Taylor, and from Paul Anka (Goodnight My Love).  As always, his voice is in fine form. He is also joined by his wife Kim as his backup singer, and his son, then 8 years old, joins him on a duet for The 59th Street Bridge Song.

Iconic,that is in terms of being one of the most misinterpreted rock stars of the era. His unique sound-a blend of rock and soul that still owed a lot to Phil Spector,Ike Turner and Motown (via the now late Clerence Clemons) was still firing on all thrusters.

+4459	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I agree that Amazon's editorial about this DVD is weird and off-base.  Why compare Sarah to Julie Andrews (who I also love)?  It's an apples vs. oranges type of comparison.  Sarah Brightman is the top-selling performer in her class, so why would she follow in the footsteps of Julie Andrews?  Strange.  Anyway, Sarah fans should be very happy to own One Night in Eden.  The concert is very well done, as is the camera work.  There are plenty of close-ups, so her male devotees can bask in her radiant beauty.  Sarah may have performed some of the songs a hundred or more times, but you almost tangibly sense the extent to which she puts her heart into each number.  When singing, Sarah goes into some other-worldly state, clearly focused on the deepest essence of every song.  With her British-perfect, pale complexion, long, dark, curly hair, and the eyes the size of a doll's, she's a physical work of art -- even if one were to subtract her voice completely.  What I found most interesting were Sarah's comments about her work, her creative and artistic mind that remains open to seemingly almost any new idea.  In her remarks, she confesses to being a life-long and unflappable optimist, and I think this inner, positive energy is what we partially view (and are enthralled by) as an audience.  She genuinely loves the exploration of new avenues of expression.  And, best of all, I found her personality to be 100% genuine -- no false airs, no pretensions, no vanity -- just a natural, charming, intelligent spirit.  This inner nucleus, spinning around a wonder-lust of possibilities, a girlish naivete interwoven with all things being possible, must (to some extent) account for the woman appearing half her age.  Buy the DVD and see if you pick up on this miraculous and precious vibrancy.  She's a gift.
+There's a track on this album called "Rumble", which has sequencers, electro-acoustic drumming and Chick's trademark melodic lines playing over this - not to mention Patitucci's bass-work driving it along. Quite amazing. Remember, this was all happening in 1986 - 20 years ago! Other highlight tracks for me are; "Cool Weasel Boogie", where Patitucci switches to acoustic bass to provide a more laid back feel. The showcase track would have to be "Got a Match?" a fast tempo tune displaying the band's virtuosity to the full. But, my favourite track is "Silver Temple", which is a masterpiece, and a wonderful way to close the album. Weckl lays down some nice grooves on this, typical (now) of his style.

+5289	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Budgie's most popular record is their 1973 work Never Turn Your Back On A Friend. For one simple reason - Breadfan. It is without a doubt one of the most important metal songs of all time, inspiring the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement and the 80s speed metal genre (alongside Deep Purple's Speed King, Queen's Stone Cold Crazy and UFO's Let It Roll). Obviously Metallica were fans of it as Lars has a high affection for obscure 70's and early 80's metal bands. When such a prolific band covers your song as a fan and touts it as an influence, no matter the lack of breakthrough success, it means your music has really reached someone and establishes Budgie's credentials as early masters of heavy rock. Breadfan is purely magic. The riff, the intensity, the power, Budgie combined everything for this monolithic track. But that doesn't take away from the rest of the record. The band throws in its first cover, the good ole Baby Please Don't Go. It's a straightforward version with plenty of Tony Bourge riffing that makes it clear he was one of the best hard rock guitarists of all time. Once again we're offered a nice slow down, the acoustic You Know I'll Always Love You, the echo on Burke's voice adds a slight progressive feel to it. These songs really show off Tony Bourge's penchant for softened and beautiful playing in addition to his thunder riff style.

None of the performers really missed a beat, though I'd say that the Doob's could have had some more "oomph" to their songs.  Steely Dan gets the most points for staying most true to their origins with eclectic song and album titles, songs of wonder and mystery and a great sound.  TAN probably has it's greatest failing in this regard in that there isn't really a "defined" sound to the whole record other then possibly adult contemporary?  Nah, I won't put the label on there.  Some songs to me just don't fit though on the album like the lyrics of Cousin Dupree a dark trip down incest lane, would earn it a spot perfectly on the Royal Scam album (just needs some more guitars).  Other songs like the title track are upbeat little ditties and it's great to hear the word "Grok" be associated with something other then those old Spock bumper stickers from the 60's.  The best song remains What a Shame About Me, a great downbeat.

In general, not as deep as their first record, but incorporating more straight praise of God.  Highlights include the laid-back-yet-upbeat first single, "There You Go",  the calm and hopeful "Faith My Eyes", and the wonderfully encouraging title  track. The music doesn't shift much from the acoustic pop of the first  album. This time around, the songwriting duties were shared equally between  Derek Webb and Aaron Tate, with one song written by Shawn Colvin, (the  superb "Climb On"). Overall, very few surprises, but a very good follow-up  to their previous record.

Backed by a female chorus, banjo, brass and drums, William Shatner delivers a pleading vocal performance that would send shivers up and down the spine of the most stoic Vulcan.  Even Bob Dylan himself could not have sung the song any better.

Now, Cream were a blues band (not a rock band) inspired by classical pieces of music and Pete Brown-style poetry, yet everything they did ROCKED and they never quite made it as songwriters. Check out the Inside Cream DVD release if you haven't already. Anyway, this is still a great record, despite the confusion about it. The live album is the best. "Crossroads" is the best blues jam I have ever heard anywhere by anybody ever. The bass and guitar are so fast and raucous that you are inclined to believe they will fly to pieces, but of coarse, they never do. This song demonstrates the intensity and excitement that people got out of seeing great rock/blues being performed live, and showed why it was necessary. I can't imagine "Crossroads" in the studio. "Spoonful" is brilliant too, however, so turn it up load. Those seventeen minutes fly by. Who the heck says it is boring? Music is awesome and exciting, and these guys could play. The Band are actually my cup of tea, and I don't think Clapton quite held a candle to Hendrix, but if you want a record by Cream to give any one of those two competition, this would be the one. "White Room" is a classic, but the rest of the studio side is imaginative and fresh. So pick this up even if you don't like long blues improvisation. Cream just may turn you on to what Dylan and Robbie were rebelling against, without ever endangering your desire to go back to their ingenious music. Oh, and Clapton and Baker are two of the best musicians I have ever heard.

With the return of Paulette comes the kind of songs that made Highway 101 a very popular group in the 90's: songs of love, love lost, love gone bad, etc. - all with a distinctive sound that brought back memories of the first version of Highway 101.  With the mix of old and new songs on this album, I found that "Walking, Talking," etc. was probably my favorite song on the album, while "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" to be my least favorite, as it sounded kind of out of character for the group.  It was disappointing that the album wasn't more popular than it was at the time; it has a great sound, but unfortunately many times (not always, but many times) when the chemistry of a major group is upset by primary members leaving, finding a replacement to stay at the top of the charts and in fans' minds is a tough chore; even the return of the primary member to the group may not be enough to get them back to the top.  I feel that this is what happened to Highway 101, and that is a shame, as they had a great sound and were a pioneering group.

I have to admit I'm not a big fan of the "banter" between the musicians and Rose in the middle of the songs, but it is necessary as that was their delivery.  With that aside, the Maddox Brothers (and yes, Rose to) were a big influence on Merle Haggard, and any Haggard fan needs this album to understand that Jimmie Rodgers was only part of Merle's influence.  The Maddox Brothers were true heroes of the misplaced "Okies", as they were dustbowl survivors (and California immigrants) as well.  It is amazing to hear the upbeat and excitement provided by these folks despite their roots and the hardships they endured;  no doubt, it endeared them to the thousands of dissplaced Mid-Westerners who ended up on the west coast. There are 27 songs here (over an hour of music) and in their original form.  I think you'll enjoy this CD and the musical history it provides.  Give it a listen.  B+

+The first track is the full Indys theme.

+In addition, Judy helps the audience to do a very moving sing-along duet with her of "Over The Rainbow." The audience clearly enjoys it after initially being a bit shy.
+Brenda Lee starts things off with her fantastic "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree;" this still sounds great after all these years and Brenda's voice is as clear as a bell! The backup vocalists enhance the number but they never steal the spotlight from Brenda! The music fits in perfectly with her vocals, too. Bobby Helms' "Jingle Bell Rock" is a tune I always love; and there's yet another gem in "What Christmas Means to Me" by Stevie Wonder. I love it! In addition, there's "White Christmas" by The Drifters; they do this with panache; their arrangement for "White Christmas" is sublime and "White Christmas" by The Drifters is a memorable number.
+The album features great musicians in top form. Even though it has always been the leading singer who shaped most Sabbath's musical outlook, it was Tony Iommi who remained the only constant member through the years. One of the most fascinating things about him is that he is vastly different with Ozzy, Dio or Martin. In a way, the three Sabbath eras had three different guitarists. As for Tony's top form here, the solo in "Immaculate Deception" is enough to prove it. Tony Martin may not be among the greatest vocalists in the history of rock music, but he is a fine singer none the less: powerful voice, impeccable technique, and solid range, what more can one want? Besides, try to put yourself in Martin's place. He had the awesome task to step into the shoes of legends like Ozzy and Dio. He's done a really fine job. The bass guitar here is in the hands of Geezer Butler himself and, as might be expected, his playing is top-notch. It is rather a pity that the bass got somewhat lost during the mixing - my only minor complaint about the otherwise excellent sound of the album. Last and least, but not to be neglected, there are the fine drummer Bobby Rondinelli, quite devoid of the childish show-off typical of a Vinnie Appice, and the well-known Geoff Nichols at the keyboards which are quite prominent in few of the songs.
+Less was never more than when the lights dimmed and the impossibly dark Mark Sandman slung a three (later two)-string bass over his shoulder and led a drummer and saxophonist and a conspicuously absent guitarist into the consciousness of all who dared to believe that a mutated jazz trio could rock as hard as any guitar-slinging grunge band of the era yet still retain the degree of untouchable hipster cool that acts like the Ben Folds Five could only begin to imagine for themselves.
+It kicks off with two acutely emotive tracks from Jon Lord's 'Pictured Within' album, the title track sung by Miller Anderson, and 'Wait A While' by Sam Brown, an incredible performance. Ronnie Dio is as ever the consummate pro, shifting the evening up a gear by following a sublime 'Sitting In A Dream' (a Butterfly Ball track last tackled at the Albert Hall by Ian Gillan in 1975) with a rousing 'Love Is All'. Great fun, though I personally thought the latter lost a lot of punch by having the intro chords doubled up. Next, we're straight into Ian Paice's brass led version of 'Wring That Neck'. It's good mostly just to hear that riff being played again, but it still frustrates me that the rest of Deep Purple didn't join in. So near..

Maynard has one of the best voices in the music industry, and it is nice to see a band with a staying power as great as TooL's. They have been around since the 80's and all of their cds/songs are amazing. This one is no exception. Opiate is definately a cd worth purchasing, even if you have never heard of TooL and want to get into their music. The song "opiate" is one of the greatest songs that they have ever wrote, and puts a good name to this cd. This cd is a must for all TooL fans.

+If you choose the Play option, it will take you to the beginning of the whole disc (which opens with a montage of items associated with Depeche Mode's videos, such as the lawn chair from "Enjoy The Silence"). This is followed by a short interview section (including interviews with Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andrew Fletcher, and Anton Corbijn) that tells stories behind shooting the videos for "Personal Jesus," "Enjoy the Silence," "Barrel of a Gun," and "It's No Good." This section also includes footage from some of the videos ("A Question of Time," "Useless," "Personal Jesus," "Enjoy The Silence," "Barrel of a Gun," and "It's No Good"), as well as footage from a video shoot. Then, disc one progresses into the music videos; each video opens with a title card with one of the images from the opening montage, as well as the title of the video. Two of the videos on the two discs have exclusive audio ("Enjoy the Silence" and "But Not Tonight"). The disc ends with a twenty minute short film titled, "Depeche Mode - A Short Film." The film includes interviews with Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andrew Fletcher, former member Alan Wilder, Daniel Miller (head of Mute Records), Anton Corbijn, Flood, Tim Simenon, plus someone else who has worked with the band (unfortunately, nowhere during the film did the individuals' names ever appear on the screen to identify them). The film also includes footage from some of the videos ("Stripped," "A Question of Time," "Personal Jeses," "Enjoy The Silence," "I Feel You," "In Your Room," "Barrel of a Gun," and "It's No Good"). Footage also appears from the 101 video release, newspaper articles about Dave's overdose, newspaper articles about the band's "return," and footage of Dave singing "Only When I Lose Myself" in the studio).
+[2:26] Surfer Girl
+We should remember that, at the time, neither Murray nor The Who knew that this set was going to become one of the most legendary rock performances of all time.  Murray Lerner was out to make a rock movie about the Isle of Wight Festival, and The Who (just one standout of the many acts who performed there) were going about the business of being The Who.  They had performed hundreds of times before this, and had many, many shows to go afterwards.  For them, it was just another night on the job, (although it seems to have been an exceptionally good one.)
+1415	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I fulfilled a teenage dream when I attended this concert in the late 80s. I wanted to see Pink Floyd during the Wall tour in 1980, but of course, the band only held concerts in California and New York. Upon my arrival at the venue (The Palace at Auburn Hills, MI.), I passed semi after semi trailer, and my girlfriend asked what they were for. I said, dumbstruck, "Ohmigod, they must have contained the band's equipment and stage setup".

+
+Then, as if by magic, I grew up, kind of. On a trip down through those dear Appalachians Mountains with a sweet Ohio River woman that I took a fancy to a while back I started to hear that whining sing-song fiddle, the strum of that banjo, and could, I swear, smell that, rotgut whisky coming out of the ground of those hills and hollows (yes, still hollows), and the wind coming down through the passes. And I knew then I was home. And could listen to some flat-picking North Carolina (I think) guy, who knew and played with now revered June Carter and Johnny Cash, for hours when I am in the mood. Go figure.

+This Garland entry was then (and probably still is) kind of a bittersweet memory, coming so close to one of America's worst tragedies in our history. I can feel some of 1963 come right through the screen when I watch this Christmas show.  It's just THERE, and it comes through (at least for me).
+Now at worst, well, it's not her  fault.  It's boring direction for emotional ballads that just can't work.  "Let's Wait A While" is just to sweet and loving while "Come  Back To Me" is fair to lush.  In all, some of the best videos of the  eighties and nineties that can be enjoyed a lot.  Janet fans, this is a  must for you.  It might be worth looking into her video sets for albums  like "Janet" as well.

+
+The central theme of the album seems to be The World (which accounts for the ethnic sounds mentioned above), and particularly its precarious state in 1979. The concern is evident in the first track: "In the event that this fantastic voyage/Should turn to erosion and we never get old...We'll get by, I suppose...It's a moving world, but that's no reason/To shoot some of those missiles". It continues in "African Night Flight": "Wonder how the dollar went down". Bowie has travel and foreign locales on his mind, maybe because of globalization. In "Move On", he muses, "Somewhere there's an ocean/Innocent and wild", and mentions various exotic places - Africa, Russia, Kyoto, Cyprus. In "Red Sails", he again yearns for a distant place ("We're gonna sail to the hinterland/And it's...far away"). But in this song and in "Yassassin", he mentions problems which can result from this transmigration: "Look at this - no value of love/Look at this - just sun and steel...If there's someone in charge/Then listen to me/Don't say nothing's wrong...Action boy seen living under neon/Struggle with a foreign tongue". I feel that feminism is addressed in 2 tracks. In "Boys Keep Swinging", his description of a boy's life must be tongue-in-cheek, in 1979: "Heaven loves ya/The clouds part for ya/Nothing stands in your way/When you're a boy". Or, is he really just telling it like it is? Things are more serious in "Repetition"; a man who "...could have had a Cadillac/If the school had taught him right" takes it out on his wife: "I guess the bruises won't show/If she wears long sleeves". In this turbulent world, maybe our ray of hope, our best escape, is Art. David Bowie certainly felt secure about it: "I am a DJ/I am what I play/I've got believers {Kiss-Kiss} believing me."

There is some nice stuff from the players such as Rick and Steve but as you can't really hear them above the hiss and distortion it's a bit of a waste of time.

+Song selection on this VHS/DVD is skewed towards promoting the "new" album, The Ladder, yet the live performances of Ladder tracks such as Homeworld and It Will Be a Good Day are fun to listen to, and done arguably better than their studio counterparts.  Face to Face and Lightning Strikes are two very energetic new tracks off of the album, and are played with fervor on this recording.  The only low parts of the performance are And You and I, which seems more dull and drab than I remember it from the studio remaster, and Your Move, which is just a mess.

+Now onto the review of the extra stuff on the video. There's But Not Tonight which, as good as the song is, it seems like just an ordinary video that you would see on MTV America at the time. Nothing particularly special about it
+At times the actual song arrangements seem uninspired - at other times, they are virtual reproductions of classic southern rock riffs, as evidenced by the lead-in track 'Hello', which sounds like something you've heard on dozens of Lynard Skynard songs. Mediocre tracks like 'Waiting,Watching...' seem to drag. Perhaps the blame for that are the oh-so-serious lyrics - plenty of female relationship angst here.  But then songs like 'She Lived Here' and 'Don't Look Back' soar and provide the balance to the album with catchy hooks and upbeat tempos. On first listen, 'Rosita' is an odd choice for inclusion in this collection; but, I love the Spanish guitar intro, and it's become one of my favorite tunes on the cd.

I along with everyone else was hoping for the something like the next G'n'R record.  This isn't it.  Not a STP record either.  Nor is it Slash's Snakepit.  What to expect then?  A very solid rock record that doesn't quite equal Appetite for Destruction but then, how many releases could?  If you can listen to this while leaving the baggage of the members' past bands behind, you will find some music worth listening to.  That is the only way to appreciate this is to forget comparisons about past efforts.  I understand by reading other reviews that attempts to copy this disc have been thwarted.  What a shame but don't slam the music because of the record label's  anti-theft technology.  I was able to copy it for the car by using the IBM RecordNow program on my laptop.

+Not only does Thompson surpass his work with Fairport Convention here, he manages to establish a unique voice for himself. A voice precociously ahead of it's time. From his more recent collaborations with Mitchell Froom on down to classics like BRIGHT & SHOOT OUT THE LIGHTS, Thompson travels in a world that is part Dickens, part Poe, and a little Monty Python. And yet, for all of HENRY's tinkers, whores and doomsaying, he still manages to be far more topical than the thousand or so Glam Rock bands of the time. A buried treasure.

+And, of course, there is Mr. Wright. Someone told me, right after attending the concert in person, that he had *never* seemed so happy as he did then. It was obvious to me he felt wonderful performing "Breakthrough", and I'm sure the audience's very warm reception helped out. He was so animated it was an absolute joy to watch. I think the band responded to him; that song was so full of passion from all who performed it--and I'm sure this has something to do with the lead singer (same kind of effect that makes the difference between the two Comfortably Numb's). I noted on the lyrics that come with the DVD, that the lyric change Mr. Wright made is official. "You feel alive, your heart untied, and loved forevermore." I think, personally, that it suits the soaring nature of this version...perhaps "beatified" was appropriate for the languid voice of Sinead O'Connor, but not for the passionate singing of Rick Wright--that was so *alive* that I can't think of any better word choice for that moment.

+  On the musical side, this album features several live favorites: a rocked out rendition of Burnt Weeny Sandwich's "Little House I Used to Live In"; a snaky, instrumental take on Hot Rats' "Willie the Pimp"; a segment from the instrumental powerhouse "King Kong", titled "Lonesome Electric Turkey"; and the live favorite "Peaches en Regalia".

The Eagles created a series of very good songs, but when "Hotel California" was recorded and released, I think every listener realized that it was destined to be a great song from the beginning.  Surrealistic, clearly southern California desert influenced, a song that becomes great because it is musical art accessible to nearly everyone.

The hooks are Tusk -- with its stunning inclusion of the USC marching band -- and the close-ups of Mick Fleetwood, who has inspired my boys to assemble home-made drum kits out of anything they can find.  Every time we watch this, they pepper me with questions about how songs are written, what bass guitarists do, who decides which instrument plays when, why singers have different parts in a song, and so on. Who would have thought that this DVD would have made this impression?  It's a tribute to the production values that the children always know exactly what's going on and who's doing what. And the sound quality is terrific!

The last four songs on this CD are his last recordings, and I think the track 'Black Eyed Dog'  from these four is as haunting as music can get. It sends shivers down your  spine and you are almost ashamed to 'listen in' on a man's utter despair.  The home recordings lack the brilliance of official releases, but the songs  are beautiful enough to make you wish Nick would have been able to record  them in a proper studio. Any man that can keep a dry eye while listening to  this CD is devoid of human emotions. This CD is not for the newbie, but for  anyone who can't get enough of Nick's beautiful songs. Buy and enjoy.
+John has set the blueprint for what a 5.1 SACD should be. It is simply amazing. Perfect separation and clarity without being gimmicky. While other 5.1 mixes may simply use the rear channels for echo or effect, John perfectly places instruments in each giving a true surround sound effect.  John truly shows the potential for SACD 5.1 when in the right hands.  Like Peteyspamucket, I too wonder what it would sound like if Greg Penny who did the 5.1 mix on this and Tumbleweed Connection would get his hands on the master tapes for other artists. Imagine a Hendrix, or period Beatles or  Stones, it boggles the mind.

In order to immerse yourself in Tool, start with "Undertow" and then get "Aenima".

+The Rhino disc two is a veritable treasure trove for anyone interested in this album. There's tons of alternate, early  versions of oterwise great songs, giving them an intersting new edge. "Kid About It" is pared down a bit. "Little Savage" is given an R&B-ballad shot in the arm.  "Beyond Belief" was originally named "The Land of Give and Take" with slightly different lyrics. "Town Cryer" is given a fast-paced disco treatment, making it sound like an Abba song (that description may sound like sacrilege to an EC fan, but believe me, it sounds great).

+On this CD, the only background instrumentation I heard noticeably was a synthesizer (used to simulate the sounds of violins).

+It's a big world out there, and there's certainly room for talented singers who have not necessarily been studying operatic technique since they were in the cradle.  I once pulled up his entry on everyone's favorite online encyclopedia and found a link to a soundclip of NPR critic's analysis of the tenor's shortcomings, replete with a side-by-side clip of Pavarotti doing the same piece.  Now I have to admit that as irritatingly snobby as I found the announcer,  I did take some pride in understanding just what what she was saying.  And,  yeah, I agree that Pavarotti, at his best, had a richer, fuller, more pliable instrument.  Yes, he did NOT need a mike.  But at the end of the day, so what?  Andrea Bocelli remains a fine singer, who connects emotionally with his audiences and who--while he may have some operatic aspirations--knows that his relative lack of vocal training and his disability will always limit such opportunities.

If you like music with piano you'll enjoy ALL of Mannheim Steamroller's albums. Now as the cd was going on to the last track I was going to turn it off but then the opening piano part to Midnight On A Full Moon started.  I was shocked.  This song has such a nice groove and reminded me so much of something that Phish would do.  I'd say start with this album if you want to get into Mannheim Steamroller.

While I am somewhat of a Floyd purist and consider this to be a bit of Pink Fraud,  I still love the performance and sound and the show.  Roger Waters WAS the lyrical genious that made most of this possible,  but I guess I'll have to still be limited to this show and the few others.  ABSOLUTELY perfect reason that these guys need to pull together before they are eligible for Social Insecurity, which is soon, and put on one more tour so we can get the Mighty Floyd on HD.

The show itself features Judy and  her 3 children (Liza, Lorna & Joe) as well as special guest Mel Torme  and Jack Jones.  Judy doesn't do alot of singing, but when she does, it's  wonderful.  It's really neat to watch a wholesome family special that aired  in 1963.  As one reviewer said, "they don't make them like this  anymore" - and they don't!  A real treat for any Judy Garland fan.  Though not listed on the box, Judy closes the show with "Over The  Rainbow" with Lorna and Joe at her side.  Knowing the troubles that  plagued the family through the coming years, this is a real special memory  for Judy and her fans....

The album ends with "The Last Resort;" this is another remarkable tune and it really showcases the endless talent of The Eagles. What an ending for this album!

+One thing has always intrigued me: In the liner notes Nancy Blake mentions a "ebony nut" among the features of Norman's D-18. However, from the pictures on the sleeve at least, the nut on that guitar sure looks like bone or some white composite rather than ebony. I know they use ebony for violin nuts and I've seen wooden nuts on old bowlback mandolins, but I've never come across a "modern" guitar with one. I wonder if she was referring to the bridge base, which looks like it could be ebony and probably would have some impact on the tone.

+To me, Lodger is right up there with Station to Station, Scary Monsters, etc. I have always thought that the late 70's marked the apogee of Bowie's career, where he was at once leading and transcending the New Wave then in vogue by inventing new sounds and new ways to rock out. The rocking out part is key here; you want to crank this record up. Boys Keep Swinging, DJ and Look Back in Anger are take-no-prisoners workouts.

+230	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Okay, so it's a 17 year old concert & the only official one available of La Benatar on the market.  However, what this TV Special showcases is the magnitude of Benatar's sizzlingly raucous & sweet voice as she strums through megahits up to her Get Nervous multi-platinum album, including grammy-award winning Fire & Ice, as well as Hit Me With Your Best Shot & Heartbreaker.  What is most surprising about this performance, particularly for lesser fans, is that the album trax are the more astounding performances, both tune-wise and vocally.  The title track to Pat's first album In The Heat of The Night is a blindingly electric and sultry hot in the city type trak and the wondrous single Shadows of The Night sends shivers up your back from the opening guitar chords.  Personal faves are the medley I Want Out & We Live For Love, which really wakens the crowd up & a rip -roaring rendition of You Better Run, where Pat brutally warns off an offending lover.  The eloquent rock track Hell Is For Children unveils the force of Benatar's voice and ends of a marvellous tour de force performance which reveals Pat at the top of her game.  It would have been nice to see Little Paradise which was also included on the VHS version of the show or Promises In The Dark, which was included on the Live! cd, Live From Earth.  Nevertheless, with no other live video chronicles available this is all we have to relish of this legend & time allowing, you can still appreciate the savvy & the sheer professionalism which Pat had that have made her the star she is today.  A well-recommended purchase

+If you are seeking Santana at their pop best, check out "Zebop" or Beyond Appearances" instead.  If you want Santana at their very best, buy the first three albums and the "LOTUS" live album as each of these four are masterpieces.  Avoid SUPERNATURAL.
+However, "The Older I Get" makes up for most everything else, as it has to be one of the best songs of the year. If you've not heard the song, please do, you'll be doing yourself a favor. I actually first heard it on mainstream radio, but that doesn't make the song any worse, it's just a great song. It's very catchy, and very emotional. Although I personally don't relate to the song's message, I think a lot of others would.

First of all, let's get over that "About to Die influenced by The Band" nonsense.  Do you really think Trower & Reid sat down and said "Let's try to sound like that hokey Whistle Stop group that used to back up Dylan. Nah!  That's like minimizing Michael Jordan because he used the jump shot decades after Hank Luchetti "invented" it.
+The first 40 minutes are about as good a rocking time as you ask for, and it makes a great workout video if you're on an aerobics machine. In fact, I can't think of a better workout tape. Visually, the most memorable scenes are probably with Stevie Ray playing the guitar from behind his back and behind his head! SRV was the only guitarist I've heard that could a decent imitation of Jimi Hendrix, which he also does here in this concert.
+What about Styx?  Styx is one band I always considered one of my favorites.  I would lump them in a group below my two favorite secular bands Little River Band and the Bangles (I'm not putting them in competition with Christian bands).  This lump would include Yes, the Go Gos, Crowded House, Simple Minds, Talking Heads, ELO, and others.
+THAT IS what I think gave CREAM their edge over most

We see the place in Manchester where they grew up, the theatre where they first sang, even their school. We are also invited into the studio to witness how the guys craft a typical song. Numerous celebrities offer comments about their talents such as Sir George Martin. Some of their songs (interspersed throughout) have also been made into low-budget video clips (obviously just for the benefit of this production), some of them live, some lip-synced.

I've got the video of the film & very  fun though it can be fun, the album is a lot better [the reverse would be  true of 200 Motels, though much of the music there is difficult]. A long  double album is made even longer w/ film excerpts. It opens w/ Uncle Meat  (Main Title Theme), 1 of his utter best instrumental tunes up there w/  Holiday In Berlin & Peaches En regalia [off the following 2 lps], then  we have the Voice Of Cheese, as in Suzy Creamcheese aka Pamela Zarubica w/  a little bit of commentary about a European tour. A definite highlight is  Dog Breath, In The Year Of The Plague, simultaneously a catchy tune w/  nostalgia for a closed down football stadium & a grand composition  & technology experiment. We then have the Dog Breath Variations, as  well as a couple more preludes & variations. In the liner notes FZ  states that this is basically an instrumental album & that the words  were randomly selected from various dreams thus songs like Sleeping In A  Jar &  Electric Aunt Jemima. A Pound For A Brown On The Bus is another  memorable instrumental.  Ian Underwood Whips It Out has an amusing spoken  intro of how he got in the Mothers before setting off into pure skronkdom  w/ his sax, not very clearly recorded but a preview of his work on Hot  Rats. That album also famously reused Mr. Green Genes, a tune about eating  yr greens, yr socks & the truck they came in. The album contains little  oddities like "If We'd All Been Living In California...", Jimmy  Carl Black's complaint about never getting paid for this & having 5  kids to feed & the line between comedy & serious real life concerns  get blurred. On disc 2 of the cd version you get 2 long excerpts from the  movie [which itself has a lot of repetition of phrases like "I'm using  the chicken to measure it" & "silence fools don't you know  anything about progress?"] & a song from that which is slightly  irrelevant to the others in that it's from the 80s not the 60s, Tengo Na  Minchia Tanta & the literal meaning of that is something phallic in  Italian, then we have what was side 4 of the lp, King Kong in all its  glory, though there are about 6 or 7 titles listed, it is all sewn together  & mostly from the 1 same performance. Overall it's a very impressive  creation & the packaging w/ the glorious 12 page booklet [looks even  better in 12" format] & Cal Schenkel art & lyrics &  photos, a drawing of a giraffe listening to the radio, which must be some  very hip station since Moonlight on Vermont by Captain Beefheart & his  Magic Band is coming out of it, especially since Trout Mask wasn't even  released yet then. Whilst lyrically it doesn't say as much as We're Only In  It For the Money or Absolutely Free, musically it says more than enough  & I'm happy to pay attention. You need this.
+I honestly can't find a bad thing to say about this disc.  Whether you're a seasoned Fleetwood Mac fan, just starting your collection, or just looking for a video version of their best material, this DVD should hit the spot!
+This CD cast recording catches all the main musical numbers of the production. The score Elton John composed for this occasion is quite different from his prior show `Aida'. The latter had some exceptional pop, rock and roll and gospel numbers that won you over after the first listen. This is a bit different. Some of the numbers are deeply rooted into the framework of the North English area where the action takes place. This means we have some gorgeous working class hymns, songs of male choirs and club rock and roll music. They are all very well made, but it is not something that will probably make you ecstatic in an Andrew Lloyd Webber sense after the first listen. With a couple of listening, however, the score just grows on you so much you keep revisiting it over and over again. Several of the songs in the canon, however, hit you in the heart from the start. Some of the examples are: `The stars look down' (a very melodic opening anthem sung by the miners expressing their pledge to remain loyal to their just cause and honest way of life); `The letter' (a guaranteed tearjerker, a moving song in form of a letter written to Billy by his late mum before she died); `Electricity' (a big showstopper with Billy's elaborate dancing and explaining the way he feels when he dances) and a simple yet touching `He could be a star' (when Billy's dad decides to end his strike against the majority of his co-workers and go back to work so that he could help his son go to an audition to  The Royal Ballet School in London). Other numbers are downright funny, such as `Grandma's song' (in which Billy's old and a bit senile nan deliberates about the painful life the women of her age had no choice but to lead after they got married very young), `Expressing yourself' (a hilarious number where young Billy joins his best friend, a nice closeted cross dresser gay guy Michael in wearing a women's tacky clothes of the 80-is, but this is rather a call for a need to support each person's individuality and be tolerant) and a giggling song called `Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher' (where the mining community expresses their disapproval of their political foe at their annual Christmas party). As a whole, Elton John has made his most ambitious musical theatre score up to date with this. Lee Hall's lyric reflect the language of the area and are very witty.

+6814	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	There's an endearing quality to Ram that, in my opinion (after nearly 40 years since its release), feels more like a Beatles recording than anything else produced by the "fab four" as individual artists.  If I think back to the Beatles albums from 1967-1970, then I don't feel hard pressed to find a place where the songs on Ram could fit.  In concept and/or content, there's the feeling of Abbey Road in songs such as "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" and "The Backseat Of My Car".  "Ram On" being essentially the title track and appearing twice on the album is reminiscent (in this sense) of Sergent Pepper. I could imagine "Smile Away" and "3 Legs" fitting on to sides 2 or 3 of the White Album (thinking in terms of the double LP); "Heart Of the Country" being on Yellow Submarine; "Dear Boy" being on Magical Mystery Tour and so on.  Perhaps, there's even a hint in the credits why this may be so.  Taking the contributions of Paul and Linda for granted, it might have been coincidence, but they are joined by a drummer (Denny Seiwell) and two guitarists (David Spinozza and Hugh McCracken).  That sounds like a rather familiar musical line up even without the qualification that Hugh McCracken can boast both slide guitar (George) and harmonica (John) amongst his credits on his many outings in a jazz-fusion context (try Tom Scott's "New York Connection" as a prime example).

I liked the video for its over-the-top histronics, and I liked the follow-ups like Rebel Yell. But I had no idea how good the guy was, and how much Steve Stevens contributed to his sound, until I heard "Flesh and Fantasy" while driving to Boulder one day with my wife. That song has some of the tastiest, finest lip-smacking guitar embellisments - never mind a solo - I have ever heard. You want to warm up your lovely lady for a night in heaven? Play "Flesh and Fantasy." I bought the album, took it home and listened over and over and over. But here's the real gem for you guitar cranks. Even though Stevens' sound is full of electronica, he's one hell of a riffer. He needs no tricks. And "Blue Highway" will leave you breathless. His solo on this song ranks with Eric Clapton's "Crossroads," and even Jeff Beck's best work - I'd  dare say that Hendrix would find this guy OK to jam with - it is that hot. Well structured, impeccibly toned and Gawdalmighty good. Crank this up. If you're 50 years old and looking for a guitar god from the days when men played rock and roll, this is your album.
+Not only were the singles well-crafted, but the rest of the album held it own as well. Other highlights include: "Keep It Right There" (remix featured on White's Man Burden), "Come Closer" (smooth production and smoky vocals), "Baby Your Love" (midtempo treat/2nd favorite track), "Good Thing" (late-night sleeper) and "All Is Not Gone" (syrupy ballad/favorite track).

+9139	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	With every time I come across something by Tool, I grow more and more irritated by Maynard's intolerably obnoxious attitude. Consider the way the man wants to have his cake and eat it too. On one hand, we're clearly to know that not only is he a Suffering Artist, but also a Profound Thinker as well. We are reminded of both many, many, many times - of the former by his hideously mangled screams, and of the latter by the ponderous liner notes, the formless videos, and the equally formless sludge of the music. Apocalyptic visions, tales of use and abuse, talk of "healing" and "salvation" are all de rigueur, and of course, all the faux-mysticism, pseudo-philosophy, and sundry babble are all as vague as possible. On the other hand, Maynard refuses to commit to this course, and holds himself carefully aloof from it with devices that are grating in their dishonesty. We're told as much in the asininely titled "Hooker With A Penis" - if we're dumb enough to, heaven forfend, call him on his frankly ludicrous philosopher-king pretensions, well, that's our own fault for not being cool enough to Get It, because Maynard is, you see, also a Very Clever Fellow, and can ceaselessly abuse the concept of irony in order to keep himself at arm's length from his own spoutings. Similar is "The Balls Of Satan," yet another Witty Ironic Joke For Those Intelligent Enough To Understand It. Except the problem is that the irony is wretchedly illusive, as indeed is the entire album.
+
+Of all the great songs on the album, Dear Boy is my favorite.  It starts out as a typically jaunty McCartney piano thump (see Penny Lane, Good Day Sunshine and Single Pidgeon), but then a cascade of multiple counter harmonies push the song to a delirious finale--all I can say is PLAY IT LOUD.

+7468	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	After creating a buzz for themselves after their solo debut CD, "People Instinctive Travels & The Paths Of Rhythm" in 1990, A Tribe Called Quest took on all nonbelievers head on with the release of their sophomore disc, "A Low End Theory".  While their debut did include classics like "Can I Kick It", "Bonita Applebum", "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo" and "Description Of A Fool", "The Low End Theory" is really what put A Tribe Called Quest on the map.  "Check The Rhime", which is probably their best song and single of all time, put ATCQ on another level.  The way they mixed jazz with hip hop put them in another category.  Out of all the Native Tongues which included De La Soul, Queen Latifah and The Jungle Brothers, ATCQ was getting the most pub.  With classics like "Jazz (We've Got)" and the posse cut, "Scenario" with Leaders Of The New School, to follow "Check The Rhime", people who had no idea who ATCQ was, took notice.  The only dilemma that they faced was whether or not they could follow up this classic 5 Mic CD with another banger.  "Midnight Marauders" was released in 1993.  The first single "Award Tour" answered all questions when doubters were wondering if ATCQ could follow up with another great CD.  With Ali Shaheed Muhmammad on the boards, along with some occasional help by The Abstract Poetic and Extra P, Large Professor, ATCQ had another winner on their hands.  This is what real hip hop is all about: Good beats and lyrics to supply the beat that is being presented.  Phife became the perfect compliment to Q Tip's rhymes.  He was allowed to have his microphone time as much as Q Tip was and the results were almost as good as "The Low End Theory".  The 2nd single, "Electric Relaxation" is clearly the CD's best track.  While "Award Tour" got their fans attention, "Electric Relaxation" made sure they stayed attentive.  All I could remember hearing was, "Relax yourself girl, please settle down".  Even if I had never liked the group, "Electric Relaxation" would have been one of my favorite songs.  Q Tip and Phife go back and forth expressing how they want to "get with" a female.  This is classic  Tribe.  From beginning to end, you have classic beats, Phife's braggodocio kind of rhyme and Q Tip's razor sharp precision.  The whole CD is worth listening to.  Believe me, there is no filler material on here.  Other songs worth checking out are "Keep It Rollin'" w/Large Professor", "Steve Biko (Stir It Up), the 3rd single, "Oh My God", "Midnight" and "Lyrics To Go".  Unfortunately this would be ATCQ's last classic CD.  While they still did make good songs on "Beats, Rhymes, and Life" and on "The Love Movement", A Tribe Called Quest was never the same after this release.  Their rhyme style became simplistic and the jazzy beats were replaced by the beats of Jay Dee and the Ummah, which meant Ali Shaheed Muhammad supplied less beats than usual.  However, "Midnight Marauders" stands out because after "A Low End Theory", a lot of hip hop fans thought that ATCQ would fall off.  They were very wrong.

Born in the USA (the song) misled most listeners, and had it wound up on "Nebraska", the lyrics would have fit in perfectly. But here, it's not a celebration of patriotism, it's pure rage against a system that let him down. But the rest of the album talks about bonds between friends, sex, love, nostalgia, and watching changes in your neighborhood. It's truly about "American Life".

+There's no way to classify this set; it's too variegated, but somehow, it all sounds like one unified piece of work. The calibre of musicianship here is, phenomenal; such a tight-sounding outfit, this material is delivered with an almost military discipline. As another reviewer said, it is "sandwiched" with two doo-wop songs, the title probably derives from that.
+8602	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	"Opiate" is where it all started.  Tool's first seven-track EP layed the groundwork for "Undertow" and "AEnima."  While not nearly as elaborate or meticulous, "Opiate" shows Tool before they became really artistic and cryptic.  This first effort is a loud, bone-crunching trip through the sick and rather humorous mind of Maynard James Keenan, who is quite possibly the greatest frontman of all time.  Unlike Jonathan Davis, Fred Durst or any of those other easily forgotten, annoying wannabes, Maynard shows incredible range as a singer and as a lyricist.  His messages deal with abuse, ignorance, religion, hate, as well as many metaphysical terms (46 & 2).  Guitarist Adam Jones has an overflowing wealth of talent as does drummer Danny Carey, who might be even better than Dave Grohl.  This CD is solid gold, and the tracks are short bursts of insanity, unlike the songs on Tool's other efforts, which can sometimes go on for nearly ten minutes.  Tool is where all of the KoRns and Limp Bizkits get their ideas from.  Totally original, groundbreaking, and socially as well as musically biting, Tool remains one of the greatest rock bands of all time.  The only other band that can be ranked as high as Maynard and co. is Rage Against the Machine.

+a lot of unrest and unemployment before new industries and jobs began to be created. Dancing In The Dark, the first single off the album is a classic. It is a song of existential angst and anger but with a hint of optimism. It is the character from Born In The USA coming full circle and pulling himself off the floor and heading out for a new life. The narrator is not happy with his situation but now he is ready to do do something about it. he knows there is " ...something happening somewhere ..' and he is going to go out and live life again after being beaten down. It is a song of kicking yourself in the ass and heading out to experience life again. In the context of the album it works perfectly. I feel the whole album is one character going through major changes (Born In The USA), , reminiscing ( Darlington County, No Surrender, Bobbie Jean Glory Days, My Hometown), hitting rock bottom (Downbound Train) and finally moving forward ( Dancing In The Dark, My Hometown)...

The further you go back in the Elton John catalogue, the more you realise just how talented a songwriting team John & Taupin are. The added value now is that each album has been digitally remastered, giving a fresher, cleaner sound. I can't recommend this recording highly enough; it should have a place in everyone's CD collection.

+Over the next two years, 1969 and 1970 respectively, the band changed labels moving from the little known Bright Orange label to Columbia Records and released the self-titled "Pacific Gas and Electric" and "Are You Ready", which have been put together on this CD.  The self-titled debut on Columbia Records was essentially hitless but, nonetheless, sold enough records to convince Columbia that a third album was in order. "Are You Ready" soon followed and it's title track, with backup vocals by the gospel tinged "Blackberries" became a hit.  But trouble continued to plague the band when Canadian officials banned the band from Canada due to an admission by one of the members that he took drugs (What a shock!).  Glenn Schwartz, shortly there after, announced at a concert that he had found God and he soon departed the band moving back to Ohio to join other Christian musicians to form "The All Saved Freak Band".  Schwartz was replaced in the band by guitarist Ken Utterback and, despite the release of a pretty good fourth CD "PG&E", the band began to fade away.

+But in my case, I must say that I was never impressed with "The Wall" until I saw this show. I was 12 when the original album was released and since I was heavily into Kiss and AC/DC-type stuff, I never understood what was so great about "Another Brick In The Wall part 2", which got really heavy airplay and was a huge hit. Actually, that was the first time I heard about Pink Floyd in my life. To me, it was the coolest band name (still is) credited playing not so great music. I already heard bits from "Money", "Time" and "On The Run" on TV and really liked them, but didn't know anything about the performers.
+The younger crowd just now getting into Santana may very well like this disc but I would highly recommend the first 3 discs so they can see where Santana came from and how his well earned rep was built.

+One thing I like about "Ram" is that it has a warm, inviting sound.  In that sense, it is like "McCartney."  But "Ram" also has a rich, textured sound, that manages to avoid sounding too busy.  In this sense, "Ram" is very much like some of the Beatles' recordings from "Sgt. Peppers" onward.  What's more, Paul wrote very strong songs for "Ram," from quirky gems such as "Ram On" to great rockers such as "Too Many People" to the Beatle-esqu "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey."  In song after song, Paul finds great grooves and hooks.

+4754	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album is simply excellent - everything Steely Dan fans could have hoped for and then some. It's been my soundtrack for the new Millenium (so far). Hardly formulaic and predictable, this is intricate, complex music  that is both immediate and takes a while to sink in. Quite a neat trick  actually. Listen carefully and you will hear some new subtle jazz nuance  that you didn't hear on the previous listening. Two months constantly on my  CD changer and I haven't "memorized" these songs yet - they  continue to surprise and reward. No, it's not the Steely Dan of  "Bodhisattva" or "My Old School" (or even  "Aja") but, as Donald and Walter would probably tell you, those  days are gone forever. It's still miles ahead of their last album,  "Gaucho". The lyrics also show a lot of growth. While they can be  obscure as ever ("Gaslighting Abbie") there's a new  straightforward approach elsewhere ("What A Shame About Me",  "Almost Gothic").

+"Try And Love Again" is one of my favorite Eagles songs, and easily the most underrated song on this album (I even love the syntactic faux pas of the title). Great vocals and guitars. It has been called the Eagles' last country-rock song, but to me it sounds more like a hybrid of early-70's Southern California Rock and mid-60's Merseybeat/Searchers-style Pop (with the bright, ringing guitars and chord structure built around the loping D major). It also provides Frey with one of the best guitar solos in the Eagles canon, which is quite a feat considering the great players, past and present, in this band. I'm not sure why this track was never released as a single - maybe because Meisner was on the way out? Too country-rock, which the Eagles were trying to move away from, partly to win over rock critics (some success) but mostly to broaden their fan base (much success)? It's too bad that Meisner didn't use this type of musical setting as a starting point for what looked to be a promising solo career, rather than releasing a series of (mostly) lame, generic rock albums. Not that he would have sold any more records, but it would have made a few of us happy. Regardless, I have missed his great vocals (lead and harmony) on subsequent Eagles recordings, and I haven't even mentioned his talents as a bass player. Oh well, Meisner fans among the Eagles' throngs appear to be few and far between. But if you need proof, compare his vocal performance on "Take It To The Limit" with Frey's more recent renderings. The difference between good and goose-pimply.

Well, to me it's an absolute stunner! "All killer, no filler"...that phrase can be applied to this album more than any new album I've bought in some time! While offering some variety in musical styles here...songs with a touch of punk, some with a touch of melodic pop metal...ALL with a basis in good ol' hard rock...this album is a musically cohesive and well produced body of work, and I daresay is Slash's best effort since GNR's Appetite for Destruction!! The songs here sound fresh and new without ripping off other songs, yet retain that hard rock edge of GNR. Slash dishes out plenty of incendiary solos, and Myles Kennedy has REALLY come into his own as Slash's vocalist! What a range that guy has...I am NOT missing Axl at all here! Some say Slash just isn't Slash without Axl, but Myles is his own man, and fits into Slash's music as well as Axl did, IMO. I really liked Slash's last CD, and while having all the guest vocalists on that one was an interesting move, I thought the cohesiveness suffered a bit as a result. Needless to say, for me Apocalyptic Love is a little better than his last album, and that's saying something!

+This is an album of pure noise, a la John Cage. Much of the pieces are discordant, some are positively unlistenable. Matters are not made better from the fact that the longest piece in the collection, Cambridge 1968, is over twenty minutes long and features annoying guitar feedback from Lennon and ear-shattering screaming from Yoko Ono. Another shorter piece consists of the sound of a heart-beat of Yoko's dying, miscarried child.

+7878	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	A great punk rock record. Probably one of the most important punk bands since the Dead Kennedys. Lyrically challenging telling the punk rock scene to straighten up before we no longer have one. However the reason I gave this only four stars is because (1) mixed in with some very great songs are some that are kinda boring ("Summer Squater Go Home" , "She's My Little Go-Go Dancer" , and "Your Daddy Was A Rich Man" ) , and it just makes the album seem uneven. (2) The production is muddy , especially when compared to A New Kind Of Army. But aside that there are some terrific songs. "Die For The Government" , "I'm Being Watched By The CIA" , "F__K Police Brutality" , and "No More Dead". A must.
+The Live Disk contains the best stuff you can get- Crossroads in the definitive Clapton treatment, played on a firey Strat above rumbling, volcanic bass lines and precision trip-hammer jazz-rock drumming. The epic treatment of Spoonful still conjures images of Hades, rolling thunder, burning rivers, thundering beasts (the 'elephant race' middle instrumental passage). Also, it features amazing mournful vocals by Jack Bruce, sounding like he is negotiating in blues format for his mortal soul. This rendition is just so doggone inspired. If you listen to it after listening to Cream's studio original from "Fresh Cream" or the Howlin' Wolf original, your mind reels from the comparison. They were really feeling this version. They're playing like the Hell Hounds are really on their trail.

+And we can't forget about Track 12 ("The Place Where Dreams Come True"), pretty much the heart and soul of the entire score.  It is a nine-minute masterpiece that is a true testament to Horner's abilities to stir up emotions in the listener.  This song makes the scene where Kevin Costner and his baseball father are playing catch.  The scene itself is very powerful, but add to that Horner's theme, and you have to have a heart of stone not to get carried up in the moment.  Every time I watch that scene I get the urge to run to my dad and ask for a game of catch.  Doesn't matter if it's 30 degrees outside or if it's raining.  That's what good movies and good music will do to a guy.
+This DVD is absolutely fantastic.  The sound is great, the picture is excellent, the song selection hits all the classic material, and the band just blows me away.  Many of the songs, like "Say You Love Me," "Big Love" and "Landslide," come across even better here than the original studio cuts.  Although Stevie Nicks isn't hitting all the high notes in songs like "Dreams," opting to hit lower notes that fit in the song, she still sounds great.  Mick Fleetwood and John McVie pack a powerful bottom end punch.  Christine McVie, even though looking bored at times throughout the show, sounds crystal clear (and her song "Temporary One" is a major highlight).  My favorite is watching Lindsey Buckingham play his unique style of guitar, which I have become enamoured with.  A particular favorite moment is his solo rendition of "Big Love."  Too quote one Jeff Spicoli, "Awesome.  Totally awesome!"  One final added bonus, and missing from the CD, is Christine McVie's playing of "Songbird" at the end of the show.

+Once more, William Shatner speaks the words of William Shakespeare.  Romeo and Juliet: "But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?  It is the East, and Juliet is the sun.  Arise fair sun, and kill the envious moon..."  That recitation segues into the song "How Insensitive."  William Shatner's emotional performance would bring a tear to the eye of the cruelest Klingon who ever lived.

Biased as this review may be, since I am a fan from David Gilmour from his first solo release to his last effort "On An Island".

I saw him only a week or so before the tumor was discovered.  He played a 1500 seat sold out theater and did 3 hours non-stop.  It was possibly the best blues show I have ever witnessed as he was on fire all night.  I had tickets to see him again later in the summer, but unfortunately that show never happened.  The album itself is strong, but not quite as good as his previous effort.  This one has even more of a funky 70's vibe featured.  Allison tackles social issues more in this album with several tracks including "There Comes A Time", "Pain In The Streets", and "Will it ever change".  He also does a duet with his son Bernard (a great blues player in his own right) called "Playing A Loosing Game".  The album also includes a great version of "Living In The House Of The Blues".

Because of this album I've managed to collect virtually everything Frank Zappa released. More often than not I've truly enjoyed everything Frank released. "Over-nite Sensation" remains one of my many favorite Zappa albums. It did appeal to me as a 12 year old boy, especially the "naughty" lyrics in "Dirty Love" and "Dinah-Moe Humm". The silliness of raising a crop of dental floss in the song "Montana" tickled my funny bone. The music on this album is best described as rock with a hint of jazz-fusion. This was also my introduction to jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, who plays the amazing solo on "Fifty-Fifty". When I first got this album, I decided that I needed more Frank Zappa. I also decided that Frank was one hell of a lead guitar player. It's almost 40 years later, and the music of Frank Zappa remains one of my favorite ways to pass the time. The man's catalog is chock full of various styles of music. A Zappa album can be classical ("Orchestral Favorites"), balls to the wall rock ("Zoot Allures"), jazz-fusion ("Waka/Jawaka") or any combination there-in. I'm forever grateful to my sister's friend Pete who brought "Over-nite Sensation" to our house that one day. If not for that day, I may not have ever learned about Frank. "Over-nite Sensation" was my introduction to Frank Zappa. His sense of humor is missed. The world hasn't been the same without him.

And while Alison is clearly the star, the boys in the band more than hold their own, both vocally and instumentally. Dan Tyminski is a terrific singer and guitarist - his voice blends superbly with Alison's on "Blue Trail of Sorrow" and particularly "The Road is a Lover," which also features some great train-like bowing from Alison. Banjoist Ron Block takes Scrugg-style picking to a higher level - his driving solo on the title track blows me away every time I hear it. And Adam Steffey's mandolin playing ranks among the best.

+For the ten or twenty people who still haven't heard of him, G. G. Allin was, as Murder Junkies drummer Dino says, "God, Jesus, and Satan all rolled into one," perhaps the last American rock and roll singer who grasped what the spirit of rock was about, and aimed to bring that spirit back to music. To that effect, Allin would today be called a "performance artist" rather than a rock band frontman, probably. Allin and co.'s now-legendary gigs, three aborted tours' worth (as brother Merle Allin says, "you never plan on finishing a tour-- two reasons: the hospital or the law."), usually started out looking like punk shows, but ended (long before they should have) in fights, riots, raids by the police, overdoses, what have you. Allin's notoriety increased a thousandfold when the talk show circuit picked him up in the early nineties (some of the footage from his appearance on Geraldo is shown here), and as Phillips, who had been making Hated off and on since 1988, got ready to put the finishing touches on the film, Allin had gone from underground icon to public animal number one. The band kicked off the Terror in America tour in 1993, with much of the interview footage with the band members coming just before or just after the start of the tour. Allin was dead within days of the completion of the film, of which Phillips then halted postproduction to add another ten minutes of footage to the end.

+1737	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	For those of you who notice how people are so drawn to this multi-faceted and talented star, this is the concert that tells you why. The show, shot in 1991 toward the end of her Heart Of Stone Tour, is the result and culmination of many years of hard work and reinvention. In her own eyes, Cher is always Cher, but the public perception of her has changed through the years, and it is easy to see that in retrospect. Throughout her 60's folk-rock era and subsequent nightclub act, from her transformation to Vogue model and TV variety star, then Vegas act and Disco diva, Cher persevered. But it was her 1980 stint as lead singer in a band, Black Rose, where the public was given a hint of what was truly inside this woman. The band was not a hit, but Cher's instinct to do full head-on Rock and Roll was. Combining that element with her knowledge of making a pop song her own is Cher's greatest gift.

+5131	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I had put off buying this because I'd anticipated a repeat of previous releases -- the ho-hum, cozy/warm vibe of King's "Living Room Tour" and Taylor's "Live," both of which served as late-career retrospectives.  How surprised I was when I heard the music; providing backup is the original rhythm section -- once called The Section -- which helped define the sound for both artists on their seminal records (Danny Kortchmar, Lee Sklar and Russ Kunkel.)  This makes all the difference -- and probably comes close to recreating the original sound of both artists when they played the L.A. Troubadour back in the day (which was indeed the intent of this concert, as the pair united to celebrate the venue's fiftieth anniversary).  There's some muscle here, even a hint of distortion in Kortchmar's guitar, that helps vault both artists' songs into energetic readings that get under the skin.  And the top of the set list includes some early, lesser known songs of Taylor's.  In other words, this isn't an evening restricted to wrapping up in an afghan, sipping camomille tea, and stroking the cat, but rather revisiting a time and place -- the anxiety-ridden late '60s and early '70s -- when both artists' voices were heard in more complex settings than history has assigned them.  (Back then, Taylor wrote often of his time in a mental institution; King was breaking free of her Brill-Building pop roots with songs that included a guy gunning down a congregation.)  Still, the hits are here, but the great backing sound gives them much-needed new life, even as it harkens back to roots.  In short, there's something here for everybody, and it all seems effortless.  It's a terrific and welcome surprise from two artists who deserved this sort of release, because they earned their appreciative audiences.  It appeals across the spectrum.

What i am trying to say is that i don't want to be one of those guys that says "go buy this album right now it is a masterpiece". but i have to because this album is unbelievable. like many others have said it is very layered and the transition in the songs is remarkable. How tool can go from soft distant drowning music to slap you in the face knock you on your ass rock all within the same song and make it work is unreal. i also don't understand what people are talking about when they say u have to listen to the album ten times before they start to like it. I liked it almost immediately with songs like stinkfist, 46 and 2, enema, and eulogy. Danys drumming is insane. the beats are never the same and always mind-blowing. I saw them in concert and all though they are not the biggest crowd pleasers their live show blew my mind away. I would not recommend this album to everyone because you really have to appreciate whats going on to like it. I have many friends who hate tool and thats cool. its just not their type of music.

+8613	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	1974's 'Diamond Dogs' isn't exactly like either of Bowie's previous albums,and obviously he never intended it to be. Most of the music itself was originally intended as a conceptual suite for a musical based on George Orwell's '1984'.But when Bowie couldn't get the rights to the story he wrote a song by that name,a funk vamp with a similarly future shocked lyric. It's one of his classics,so is the driving rock n' roll of the title cut and the spikey "Rebel Rebel",all big hits for him. Oddly enough with tracks like "Candidate","Rock N' Roll With Me","We Are The Dead" abd "Big Brother" Bowie pursues a very unstructed and loose psychedelic rock sound complete with backwards tape loops and sound effects-very late 60's sounding in parts,but also on the avante garde.'Diamond Dogs' is a dark album,filled with songs about death and vice and aptly exploring those themes with the arrangements and instrumentation.

+It is correct that the quality is not Blu-Ray or even HD-DVD. It appears to have been transferred straight from the 16mm(?) film to DVD with little or no re-engineering. It would interesting if somebody were to clean-up the picture and re-mix/produce the sound. But then you'd loose the ambiance of the era. It is very much influenced by the psychedelic. Perhaps it could be sold as "Collector's Set" of both the re-processed and the original, much like the CD set  of Deep Purple's 'Machine Head' which has both the original and the 25th anniversary remix by Roger Glover.

+ The DCC sound is, again, superior to the other remasters in much the same way as DCCs own Fresh Cream and the MoFi Disraeli Gears  i.e. smoother, although having greater frequency extension at both extremes and greater dynamics. There is an example of some sort of over-modulation on Traintime at 0:14 (on TWTD and CR) where Jacks harmonica causes very severe crackling that is not present on the DCC. There is some distortion introduced into Passing The Time on TWTD (between 0:25 and 0:29) as well as this version missing the deep purring of Jacks keyboard bass that is heard so clearly on the DCC. Oddly, the CR version doesnt have the extended Passing The Time heard on the 2 other versions.
+The Transformed Man is not about Shatner trying to sing (he knows his dramatic reading style is not singing); this is a full-blown concept album of remarkable proportions. I happen to believe Shatner took this album very seriously back in 1968, and that this truly is about the music and not Shatner's ego or ersatz campiness. Shatner didn't just throw this album together; a lot of thought and work went into this. You'll notice that the first five tracks actually consist of two songs apiece. Each two-part track is meant to reflect upon a different aspect of the duality of man. Of course, you don't get this effect when some radio station cues up Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds or Mr. Tambourine Man for comedic purposes; those guys never play the first half of each track, so it's impossible for the listener to know what Shatner was actually trying to do with this album. That is the main reason this album is universally looked upon as comedic. As he has described it in at least one interview, Shatner thought that the lyrics of some modern-day songs were of literary merit, so in making this album he added a background of new, modern music to his readings of classic literary pieces, then juxtaposed this effect against his unique interpretations of modern songs with evocative lyrics delivered in a bold new fashion.

+Shocking,scary and hilarious at the same time...great mix huh? By the way....the added Gas Station show is a fitting tribute to GG`s legacy - violent,funny,short and in the end,  less than 24 hours later,he would be dead of an overdose. Thats Punk Rock!!!!!!!
+Mrs Wilkinson has a couple of strong numbers 'SHINE' and 'BORN TO BOOGIE' and she and the ballet class share a 9-minute stunner 'SOLIDARITY' with the picketing miners. Amazingly the two disparate plot themes play off each other beautifully. 'SOLIDARITY' is perhaps the most controversial moment in the show as it is here the miners detonate the F-bomb.  The explosion occurs at a well-timed and unexpected moment and jolts just by its sheer audaciousness and ferocity.

+2. New Kid In Town - 5
+Sting was truly gorgeous when he was in the Police, no matter how badly he dressed. Inside the DVD I see the now veteran Englishman in his energetic, handsome years, and it is out of the question that he was a defining sex symbol in the 80's. I am blown away whenever I watch him adjusting his tie in "Message in a Bottle," taking off his shirt with a naughty grin in "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and smoldering in "Every Breath You Take." Even though some people consider the video of "Wrapped around Your Finger" utterly silly with Sting dancing around lit-up candles, he looks fantastic in the white outfit, and "every step he takes" leaves me awestruck with his surpassing beauty.
+A lot of people complain that this DVD is no good because it's mostly bootleg footage shot from the crowd. I disagree, the poor quality footage and 'not so happening' sound only enhances the Cliff legend. Back in the days when you didn't know who Metallica was unless you bought an album or went to a show. They were against the establishment, against polished up MTV videos, and against everything that metal was that made itself a joke. Metallica was real and this was real, unmixed, raw footage. It's the Metallica we remember and love, and will never see again.
+Some of her best-known songs have been recorded by other artists ("Up Where We Belong," the title track that was recorded by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warren for the film, "An Officer and a Gentleman" and "Until It's Time For You to Go," which was recorded by, among others, Elvis Presley and Bobby Darrin).  Those weren't the only songs that brought her fame and respect as a great activist and poet. Several of her songs are raise social consciousness about the plight of Native Americans in contemporary modern society, as well as the past hurts that caused such pain and unrest in the Native community.  Those songs include "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," and "Universal Solider."
+Still, the record has its weak moments-- "African Night Flights" is a bizarrely bright and somewhat dull piece, "Move On" has a fine galloping beat but misses altogether and even Belew's pyrotechnics don't save "Red Sails".
+5. The clarity of the orchestra at the end of "Wasted Time (Reprise)."
+The entire DVD is quite long, considering there are some really short DVDs out there. But this one is perfect. It's like a real long story, and each song is a new chapter.
+
+For my money, the original releases will continue to do just fine, especially when Kalinnikov and Glazunov have so many appealing things to say in their music. And to have them in these two original discs rather than to hunt for them in other (upcoming) reissues is an added luxury.
+
+Bottom line, if you like Alison you'll love this CD.  If you like country or bluegrass you will find enough on it to make you happy and feel your purchase was worthwhile.  You make the call.
+In this, her solo debut, an Imogen just out of performing-arts-high-school filled an album with raw energy, dark, dramatic, low-register vocals, fierce piano playing, great songwriting, and several different producers for different tracks, creating a real feast for the ears. Just put on some headphones and listen to something like "Rake It In" or "Sweet Religion" to hear the kind of production that will delight the most discriminating of listeners and keep you fascinated, listen after listen.

+The Copland works are also excellent (though I don't care for the Canticle of Freedom, but I don't really care for any choral music). The Fanfare is played slower than usual but it succeeds in bringing out the power and majesty of the work better than many recordings. The Lincoln Portrait is given a dramatic reading by James Earl Jones, who should be hired by anyone in need of locution lessons! The Outdoor Overture is a quintessentially jolly piece; it will put you in a good mood if you weren't already. As the Amazon reviewer notes, the sound quality isn't perfect but it is still quite good and packs a real punch at climaxes. If you don't already own this collection of essential American music, do yourself a favor and buy it now!

There's nothing far fetched with musicains trying to "find themselves" which sometimes happens with jazz musicians. It's just good old fashioned, talented musicians putting together a masterpiece of melodic sounds. Growing up as a kid in Charlotte, my uncle turned me on to this CD, and it's still one of my all-time favorites. It's a must have for jazz enthusiasts!

+1993	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I was initially hesitant to purchase this video thinking that a 'much older Andy Williams' might suffer, voicewise, when compared to the Christmas specials Mr. Williams made in the 1960's and early 1970's.  Fortunately, I was proved wrong.  Although Andy's voice is not as dynamic as it was thirty years prior, his heart, sincerity and showmanship are as strong as ever.  The show has, as always, the right mix of Christmas tradition and newness communicated through song, stage sets, background singers and personnel.  The good ol' Osmond Brothers are there and do a few of their classic holiday interpretations.  At the time of the taping, they had just moved to Branson and opened up their own theater.  Lorrie Morgan adds to the mix also in a wonderful way.  Whether it's 'old Andy' or 'young Andy,' if you want to capture that Christmas feeling, you can't go wrong with Mr. Williams.  This video will be a fine addition to your Christmas collection.

+4506	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I have to begin by stating that I really enjoy this DVD, and watch it far more than I thought I would.  Jennifer Holliday literally brings down the house with her classic rendition of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not  Going" from "Dreamgirls"; Linda Eder shines on "Man of  La Mancha" and contrary to other opinions Elaine Strich gives the  definitive "Ladies Who Lunch" from "Company."  The best  performance came from an unexpected quarter (at least to me) Dorothy  Loudon's "Fifty-Percent" from "Ballroom."  She is  heartbreaking, and moves me to tears every time.  The downside is there are  no real Broadway Divas...where is Bernadette Peters, Patti LuPone, Betty  Buckley, or (even if she is more West End than Broadway) Elaine Paige?  And  as much as I love Liza Minnelli, she steamrolls through "Some  People" from Gypsy to detrimental effect.  To end on a positive note,  if you love Broadway and the women who entertain us, this is definately  worth your while.

Long from his "Black Magic Woman" and "Evil  Ways" days, he hasn't travelled too far from the mystical rock that  has made him a star.  "Supernatural" is steeped in rhythmic  treasures - not too mention all those celebrity guests!  With notable  collaborations including Lauryn Hill, Everlast, Product G and B, and the  now infamous "Smooth" with Matchbox 20's Rob Thomas, Santana has  created a veritable music garden of sounds and style.  This album has so  much going on, you just don't know what to listen to first!  The smooth,  smokey blues pours through, as the latin groove lulls the ear - all while  being ripped open with the unique and uncomparable electric melodies  flowing from Santana's fingers.  This cd truly is a boiling melting pot of  talent and experience, that will never cool down to become a coffee table  glass coaster.  Enjoy!

Even if you aren't a fan of Christine's songs, her voice beautifully fills in the 3-part harmonies that made Fleetwood Mac so famous.

+He plays his guitar slide with sentiments only presents in the true blues musics!!
+Firstly, a word about the quality of the recordings. They have obviously been made with tender loving care. Painstaking effort went into remastering these songs. This is especially evident in Dusty's earliest recordings from the beginning of her career, decades before digital technology when even analogue masters left out large chunks of dynamic range. In all likelihood, some of these analogue masters have either been lost or destroyed. The earliest songs were probably reconstituted from the best vinyl pressings that could be scrounged, then electronically filtered, cleaned and enhanced to yield as much quality as possible. The result is a set of recordings with marvellous body and clarity, and likely the finest reproductions extant of Dusty's early work.
+Every style Zappa ever did is on this record... from the stupid:  T*tties 'n Beer, to the sordid:  Honey, Don't You Want A Man Like Me?, to the sublime:  RDNZL, from the idiotic, to the intelligent, to the indescribable.  There are ridiculous comedy songs, social satire, bizarre and rocking instrumentals.  Some of the comedy/satire like Trying To Grow A Chin or T*tties 'n Beer are puerile, and their power to amuse wanes with each play. Though I still get a big kick out of Punky's Whips, a story of drummer Terry Bozio's infatuation with a picture of Angel lead guitarist Punky Meadows mostly because I remember the poster from Creem magazine.  Yeah it was a pretty girly picture, poor Terry;)  But the best songs and especially the instrumentals, of which there are a great deal, are among the best things Zappa has ever done and reward repeated listenings.  They range from 20th century classical serious, to silly, to jazz, to obscene rock guitar workouts a la Filthy Habits.  Lather is all over the map and is utterly amazing.  Could anyone not familiar with Zappa realize that one guy wrote all this widely varying material?  I don't think they would guess. Anybody who says Zappa is not a genius, or composer worthy of note, or a great guitarist should be forced to sit through this album, it just might change their opinion.  So Spike Jones, Edgar Varesse and Jimi Hendrix walk into a bar...

I'm not complaining because this is one of my most-listened  to cds.  Lodger could've been a bit more Eno-esque, but that really  doesn't bother me because it's still good music. "Fantastic  Voyage" is one of my favorite songs. "Look Back in Anger" is  filled with energy and it's sure to get you in a good mood.  "Repetition" is a criminally underrated song about an abusive  husband. The music in "Repetition" may sound a bit nauseating,  but after a couple listens, you'll realize that it is one of the more  brilliant songs that David has written.  Lodger isn't a disappointment  in any sort. It's music that is a little less creative than other Eno  collaborations, but it's still a classic that deserves no less than 5  stars.

I've heard that the VHS version is better and while that may be possible, this is an excellent DVD considering it is in full screen and also it was shot in 1994.  Pink Floyd's performance is flawless and they are geniuses when it comes to matching the audio and the visual elements together.  While I would have enjoyed more closeups of Gilmour playing guitar (especially at the end of "Comfortably Numb," during certain parts of "Shine On," and during most of "Breathe" and "Keep Talking")you still get plenty of shots of one of the best guitarists in the world playing his instrument.  There are plenty shots of Wright on keyboards and Mason on drums.  The music itself is flawless.  The only real let downs for me are "Take It Back (I just don't like that song)" and "High Hopes (performed well but not at all enough shots of the band playing)."  Highlights include "Shine On,"
+My favorite song would be "Immaculate Deception", which sounds kind of dreamy. I also liked "Virtual Death" because of its lyrics and harmony, and especially the middle section- yeah it's depressing, and when I was into it I was very depressed. "Evil Eye" is another hypnotic and kind of sexy song. I especially like the middle part and then the double guitar part in it. "Dying For Love" is also very emotional and beautiful. "Psychophobia" was my least favorite but it has some redeeming points. I basically liked all the songs on this album.

+1427	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Attacks on New York, attacks from within (Oklahoma City); it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Hell, it's already begun. The United States seems on a path that doesn't give enough credit to terror from within, and terror from elsewhere. America doesn't seem to nurture real care to any nation. Hiding behind the veil of the oft stated, "We are a nation of laws". Well enough. We simply give billions, we never develop a bond with our friends, neutrals, or foes. A little bit of love would go much further than billions. I humbly propose a worldwide emergency response team that resembles military enscription - and helps peoples with as much touching, as money and technology. (And perhaps a Tupperware Party here and there). So it's not unthinkable that an unlikely crew of Americans demand to state thier case via terrorism. Made for TV film "Special Bulletin", prophetically explores the anger of those who seek uni-lateral disarmement as a first step towards the reduction of Weapons of Mass Destruction.  This film was made before the fall of Communism, and clearly cites the Soviet Union as a threat that can be de-escalated, if America makes a first bold, and trusting move. As the film shifts into high gear, it becomes clear the Administration will not capitulate to internal terrorists despite thier claim that they have a Nuclear Weapon, and will detonate it soon, unless America begins to dis-arm. The threat is initially brushed off as a hoax by the Administration, however, plans are actually being readied to storm the tugboat the terrorists are operating from, and where the bomb is allegedly housed. All this horror takes place in the context of a CNN-like broadcast. A television journalist and cameraman are abducted by the terrorists as a means of communicating with the authorities. From the anchor desk, the "Dean" of RBS News, and the female counterpart Sylvia, give a play-by-play, and color commentary, of the eminent destruction of an American city. Embedded within this intense drama, is also a satirical dark comedy inwhere we see many of the news staff being more concerned about thier appearence, than the tragedy they're about to cover. Very interesting characters populate the terrorist ensemble; a naive Social Worker, Military Strategist, Vietnam nut, Poet, Nuclear Scientist, and a shared hunger for peace; and power. The tension mounts quickly both in the ship, and in the Government. A devastating ending serves as a distasteful desert. Shattering.

+655	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Although he had his commercial breakthrough with Born To Run in 1975, and achieved mainstream success with The River in 1980, it was 1984's Born In The U.S.A. that catapaulted Bruce Springsteen into superstardom and made him a household name. It is an album that is, in many ways, paradoxical. The absolute antithesis of his previous album - the solo acoustic, stark, desolate Nebraska - it incorporates what were, at the time, contemporary sounds, the songwriting found here is obviously something deeper and more prodound than your typical pop/rock fare, circa 1984. Though the songs themselves are upbeat, the lyrical fare is fairly typical Springsteen: enlightening portraits (usually first-person) of America's downtrodden, dispossessed, and left behind. This creates a kind of juxtaposition that, like most of Don Henley's 80s work, makes for some interesting and refined, if not exactly elitist, listening. From the title track (which ranks right up there with Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall Part 2 as the most widely misinterpreted rock song ever), which features the absolutely monolithic drumming of the virtuoso Max Weinberg; to Dancing In The Dark, a depressing, yet hopeful, track which also features a danceable synth line; to popular hits with semi-serious sentiments like Cover Me and the ironic Glory Days; to the elegaic closer, My Hometown, there are many fine examples of fine populist writing here. In addition to the contemporary-sounding tunes, there are also some songs - Darlington County, Bobby Jean - that echo back to a more 50s-era rock 'n' roll sound. However, all of these apparent strengths also bring to the forefront the album's inherent inner contradiction - was Bruce justified in singing these lyrics over the populist arrangements? One wonders if there was record company pressure after the stark, solo acoustic Nebraska - despits its going Top 10 and selling over a million copies - to release a more commercial album, or if Bruce was simply following his muse. At any rate, certain of the songs - Working On The Highway is a good example - would probably have worked much better in a more Nebraska-like arrangement. There is a somewhat not-so-ironic clash between the "work-a-day Everyman" lyrics and the big arrangement and shiny production. It would have seemed a lot more honest in a stripped-down setting. But then again - would it? One might well ask if Woody Guthrie or Bob Dylan's early songs about the dispossed and downtrodden would've spoken such volumes if they had had nifty synthesizers to play over the top of them to woo the masses - and, of course, whether or not they would have done so. In any case, this is still a fine album - solid songwriting, strong musical backing, and featuring some great, if unconventional, singing from the intimitable Bruce. Although it lacks the maturity, and possibly the honesty, of his very best albums, this is still a fine Springsteen album that any fan of his will want to pick up - and probably the first thing that a casual fan will go for.

I've listened to a lot of other LPs from my parents collections and classical rock radio stations and this album, along with The Dark side of the moon, is one of the albums that fails to sound dated or like a Beatles copy-cat.
+The only problem I have with this album has is that it has a minor dip towards the end. "No Surrender" and "Bobby Jean", although good songs by themselves, interrupt the flow of the album as they are more generic than the other songs and causes the album's support to collapse momentarily. This, however, is redeemed with the 1-2-3-4 punch that is "I'm Goin Down" -> "My Hometown."

I wasn't exactly a huge Janet fan at the time since I was too young to really get into her, but I was immediately captivated by the colorful sets, Janet and her dancers' tight moves, and the smooth flow of the show. Janet starts from the beginning by inviting us inside her velvet rope (great concept) and revealing her sensual side with classics like If and That's the Way Love Goes, her vulnerable side with Again, Every Time, and Special, her playfulness on Go Deep and Escapade, and shares her views on societal issues on Rhythm Nation and the aggressive anti-domestic violence of What About. The I Get Lonely performance as well as Rope Burn's striptease are highlights. You go through so many emotions by the end, but feel happy and carefree by the time Together Again closes the show. All the classics are performed as well as some of the best songs on The Velvet Rope. It's a theraputic rollercoaster that's entertaining from start to finish.

It consists of fragmented pieces of interviews concerning the topic of war and violence, which European countries are most and least responsible for the many war-related problems that exist (back then at least, with Austria getting considerable mention) and how it's better for one to experience love and peace besides hate and anger.  To me this was already 100% completely obvious by the many MANY years I've been listening to Lennon's music.  I *know* he's a peaceful guy.  This album -with its share of uninteresting interviews- doesn't make that realization any more obvious to me.

I dare you to find some doper cuts than these. Along with Smith, Jeff treated this album like a explosive workout of skills.
+3478	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Many people have complained about Carlos Santana selling out to mainstream.  Well, he did, but look at the results!  This disc is absolutely stunning.  Smooth was undoubtedly one of the biggest singles ever.  It was on my local radio stations playlist for about ten months, and crossed over many formats.  The next single was the smooth and laid back Maria Maria, which became another hit.  This track featured Wyclef Jean singing lush vocals, and the result is urban meets Spanish styles.  There is a wide range of guest artists on here: Lauryn Hill, Rob Thomas, Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, Everlast, Wyclef Jean, Mana, Eagle Eye Cherry and Cee Lo.  All of them sound great on this disc, and their personal styles intertwine with Carlos's making for a rich and original sound.  There are several mini instrumental masterpieces on this album, most notably the catchy and danceable Africa Bamba.  There is definately a reason this was the number one album for so long.  Just pop this CD in your player and see why.  Carlos Santana is a musical genius, and hopefully he'll stay around for awhile.
+Audio is available in both Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, and PCM (digital) Stereo. Personally, I prefer the Stereo version. While the DD5.1 has greater spatial clarity and room ambience, the Stereo version imparts better bass punch, greater dynamic attack of the drums, and more overall sonic impact. In neither case is the audio quality quite up to top-notch modern recording standards, although it's fully acceptable.

However, throughout the entire recording, there's virtually NO clarity, spaciousness or separation between the instruments, vocals and applause.

Kerry King looks like an idiot sporting his new Anton LaVey 'do, and a lot of the aggression that Slayer was so famed for is gone. A disappointment for hardcore metal-heads will be the appearance of ex-Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach hanging with the bad boys and the one Venom cover ("Witching Hour") was utterly butchered. Slayer was once a great band, but they just haven't held up the way Motorhead or the Ramones have. A little goofing off is shown behind the scenes, but most of it is low-energy concert footage.

+9442	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	It's totally agreed that you'll never know what to expect with Frank Zappa, be it with the Mothers of Invention or his solo stuff. Over-Nite Sensation was basically the third version of the Mothers, which by this time pretty much exists in name only. The only connection you have with the original Mothers of Invention from the 1960s, other than Zappa himself was Ian Underwood, and he didn't join the band until 1967. Ralph Humphries, Ruth Underwood, Ricky Lancelotti, Jean-Luc Ponty, Tom Fowler, and George Duke are some of the other members helping out. Tina Turner, uncredited, even provided some backing vocals, especially on "Zomby Woof". Jean-Luc Ponty is obviously a well-known figure in jazz and fusion circles, having played with the likes of Elton John, Zappa's earlier album Hot Rats (1969), as well as a string of album under his own name, including one called King Kong (named after a composition from Uncle Meat, of course) which was obviously a collection of Zappa songs done by Ponty. Tom Fowler was one a member of the San Francisco band It's a Beautiful Day, he wasn't on their 1969 debut that had the hit "White Bird", but their 1971 album Choice Quality Stuff/Anytime (their third album).

Except for Bob Dylan, I had never found another songwriter who could match these songs for complete lyrical brilliance, and here, many years later, still have not.  Many singer-songwriters write songs that are crafted for their own particular styles, and the songs do not travel well to other performers.  But Dylan and Cohen's songs as good or better when performed by others, proving that these two are not just great performers, but writers of truly great songs.  The true mark of being a great songwriter is that the songs travel well into new contexts and into the performances of other singers and groups.

+There's nothing much more you can say about 'Georgia On A Fast Train' besides it's much different from the original tune included on his 1973 debut 'Old Five and Dimers' which had a slower, storytelling tempo. "Got a good Christian raisin' and a 8th grade education, ain't no need y'all a treatin' me this way" summates in a nutshell where Billy Joe is coming from. Oh yea, I recall there is a sequence in the video where Eddy is playing on a railraod track which reminded me of the ballyhooed video featuring Joe Perry of Aerosmith. Let's just say it did not remind one of some clever sales gimmick as the Shavers are as real as real can be. Eddy was indeed a great hard rock guitarist! R.I.P.
+Shatner's Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds cannot be explained or described - it must be heard. 99.99% of the world's population will think it's the most inane song ever recorded, as Shatner goes over the top and then some in his unforgettable delivery, but to me this is the centerpiece, the truly priceless masterpiece of this artistically significant album, a most forceful counterpart to Spleen's themes of dejection and darkness. It also provides a wonderful lead-in to the album's final track, The Transformed Man, in which Shatner rises above the dual nature of human life and, in a moment of spiritual enlightenment, imparts the beauty and power of a philosophical epiphany.

I loved Fagan's "Nightfly" and "Kamakiriad".  This album just doesn't touch me like any of their older stuff.  I miss  the good old days...
+Granted, hiring Geoff Emerick to put his Beatle-esque touches made for a handsome, rich sound, more than any other album in EC's discography. The expansiveness paid off right from the album's opener, "Beyond Belief." Toying with his own range and the overlapping vocal parts, Elvis' willingness to experiment rocked the foundations of all the early "punks" of the period. (Think of how closely Joe Jackson's "Night And Day" and The Police's "Synchronicity" followed.) The experiments were also inherent to the arrangements. The high pitched strings that slip out of the album's fade to "Town Cryer" were four cellos overdubbed to sound like an entire string section, as I recall.

And seeing that 0 of 3 people found your  review helpful, it really shows me how much your opinion is worth. I  thought Diamond Dogs was probably Bowie's creepiest album to date (just the  cover alone is enough to give you nightmares). Despite not being able to  secure the rights to George Orwell's 1984, his depiction of urban decay and  human degeneration into nothing more than a pack of "mutated  dogs" is done quite masterfully. I think Bowie is showing much more  creativity in this album than he did in "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy  Stardust". As much as you would like to think this is Ziggy Stardust  on the cover, Bowie had shed the skins of the Alien Rockstar the previous  year giving birth to an entirely different creature. I think this album is  a must for any "slobbering fan" out there.

+7701	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I just saw this CD in a bargain bin recently.  Heard most of the songs and it is a good budget-conscious release of Kool Moe Dee's best songs. Heavy hitting numbers like classic hit Go See The Doctor, They Want Money and Wild Wild West start the album out with a bang! One funny number is the funky, beat-heavy Avenue, where on the second verse, Kool leaves someone stranded on the street, saying See Ya!, and the sound of a car screeching comes afterward!  It just shows his humor.  Kool shows his more socially conscious side and defending hip-hop on Poetic Justice, which has a live band feel instead of the multiple samples on it.  Before the group Guy, Teddy Riley produced several of Kool Moe Dee's hits, bringing his New Jack Swing to Kool's hip-hop sound and vibe.  They're well represented here.  How Ya Like Me Now even goes after his rival competitor of LL Cool J when both artists had competitive albums in 1987. Kool had a cool flow, a sense of knowledge and a simplified rap style that has influenced many of today's artists. If you want to recall rap's golden era of the late '80s, you need to purchase this album now!
+Awesome performances of such titles as "Love of My Life", "Under Pressure", Roger Tyler singing "I'm In Love With My Car", "Bohemian Rhapsody" just to name a few.

+2) "Theme From Cyrano" is actually a artists rant I can get behind which then segues into "Mr. Tambourine Man" with a hilarious cartoonish woodwind intro and eventually more bleating trumpets than a Batman episode. Best yet is Shatner's desparate "junkie in need of a fix" delivery, culminating with his psychotic yelling at the end. Side-splittingly classic!
+Because THE VIDEO COLLECTION '93-'99 doesn't have the  confines of an album tie-in, Warner Reprise could have instead titled it  THE VIDEO COLLECTION '91-'99 and included "Holiday" and  "Like a Virgin" (the TRUTH OR DARE versions), "This Used to  Be My Playground," "Erotica," "Deeper and Deeper,"  "I'll Remember," "I Want You," "You'll See,"  "You Must Love Me," and "Don't Cry For Me Argentina."  To boost sales of the "Ray of Light" video single, they could  have left the video off this collection, making it a must for every fan's  Madonna collection. Of course, included or not, it's already a great  novelty.
+"Passing the Time" and "As You Said" are largely acoustic numbers, both very poetic and moving.
+In the end, this album is like a human being. It consists of different complementary elements: derangement, harmony, frustration, calmness, depression, hope - or simply: emotions. Tool gives you "Aenima" as the tool to explore yourself and mankind. Use it.

Of the DVD's that I will play, my friends got used to "seeing" as well as "hearing" music at our parties, which is not much different from the clubs, certainly not new.
+Anyway, some fans have managed to hype up this terminally average band to near-Zeppelin sized status through misplaced words. As if Tool's accomplished anything that half-a-dozen other bands haven't done better, especially with this album. Even Undertow is a better rock record than this is, and Lateralus a better prog record. And neither will be remembered in a couple of years.
+The video is almost too short, but it's concept of the topics of love and life in teh form of an AI robot is brilliant.  Bjork is transformed into a robot who is being assembled amid a number of instruments and tools.  Her face is the most expressive part at some times, where we do not see her actually speak (the visual look of her face grafted onto the robot through computers is great!  You don't know if it's a robot or computer effects).  After assembly, Bjork meets a robotic counterpart, and the chorus just takes off.  Director Cunningham uses lighting effects on light and dark, black and white surfaces to a great degree.  In terms of extra features, the DVD has a single audiotrack as well, and even a remix of the song.

Their albums from around this period went from a muffled guitar like on Back to the Streets and This Means War to a crunchy in your face metal sound complete with some ripping guitars solos from the annointed psalmeister (that's not a real word BTW:)) of God...Mr. Bob Hartman. If you like Petra hard and raw with an 80's metal vibe then by all means...get this CD. You won't be disappointed.

The album is the best and one of the best albums among the girl groups of the mid-90's and were criticized heavily by a lot of people because of one time when they were Video Soul, it sounded like there were lip synching and were labeled as "studio singers". No matter what this group could sing to me and had a string of three very good hits. The first two singles were "Stroke You Up" & "Foolin' Around" which were produced by R. Kelly and the third single was my favorite of the album "Keep It Right There" which had the urban touch and produced by one of my favorite producers DeVante. Some other highlights on the album was "Feeling All This Love", "Movin On", "Thoughts of You" & "Baby Your Love"(Produced by Heavy D). Overall this is a great album with a great soultry mix. This group may not have been in the class of EnVogue & Jade as far as vocals but they can still hold their own.

+Christmas Eve & Other Stories was focused on re-releasing "Sarajevo" a second year & hoping it would be a chart success again, but was essentially a one-off project working alongside Savatage. As much as Savatage wouldn't have been able to predict the creation of TSO, none of them would have predicted that Savatage would also eventually completely morph into TSO. But, there's no Christmas album like this & it remains a favorite holiday album over a decade later & the highlight of the TSO catalog, let alone one of the best Christmas rock albums made ... so it's really no surprise that TSO would eclipse its root band. The lyrics are sometimes a bit maudlin & cliched & the storyline takes itself too serious, but there's no questioning the widest range of musical styles any metal band could ever experiment with on a single album, let alone the high caliber of playing & singing across the board.

However, upon closer scrutiny and a few more listens, I realize that my original assessment was off. But I still do not consider this the best Skillet CD. This one, to me, has the feel of a comic-book-turned-live-action soundtrack. Complete with both male and female vocals, strings, keyboards, but also heavy guitar, this album has flare, drama, and is packed with emotion. I love that Skillet never makes even close to the same album twice over. Almost nothing carries over from Collide (a great album in its own respect) to Comatose.

+Now for the negative.  I have to give this 5 stars for the show and music.  However,  Roger Waters is largely responsible for who this band is.  It is hard for me to accept them without him.  The post Waters stuff is right around mediocre usually and has some bright spots.  I guess it was the lawyers that say they can call this band Pink Floyd.  They are still great live because a lot of the hard work, Waters' vision, writing and other stuff is already done.  They are still phenomial live because they ARE great musicians and can sure put on a great show with excellent sound and visuals.

+9682	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Despite the bizarre album title, this is the main course (yeah, I said it) from that master. Beginning and ending with doo-wop, the main content is classically-based progressive rock, with heavy reliance on a great pianist, Ian Underwood. "Aybe Sea" and "Little House I Used To Live In" are really masterpieces, in that vein. I would think that Aaron Copeland himself would approve of these "soundscapes".

Another very big bonus is the fact the Blu-Ray is in 16.9 Aspect whereas the regular DVD is 4.3.

"my funny valentine" could be played over and over again and  never stop revealing the nuances of the melody each soloist coaxes from the  tune as they improvise its theme. "airegin" lets us know mr.  davis could blaze right along with the best of them, but the closing ballad  "when lights are low," sets us free with another study for quiet  evenings and romantic fires. the quintet had jelled on this album and this  truly is a group piece. miles always gave his sidemen plenty of room to  stretch and even encouraged trios and duos to split off during the soloing  so each man could shine in their own way. a classic record.

As another viewer correctly states, there are three  songs from the last show substituted at the end of the first set, but I  happen to find their presence very valuable. "Desolation Row" is  a nice understated version, with chilling harmony from Jerry near the end,  and I found the "West L.A." to be a fiery performance to rank  near the best.  My only quibble (well, a Deadhead has to quibble!) is not  enought Primal Dead.  "The Other One" would have been nice! Great  stuff, though, and beautiful sound and camera work.

The sound with its constantly driving percussion and the vagulely African/Middle Eastern rhythms creates a hypnotic feel that captures the listener. But when focus shifts to Bowie's typically distant lyrics, this CD becomes a triumph of style over substance. A little more substance and this could have been one of Bowie's best, as it is it is well worth your time.

And also tracks like Cook of the House are fun "discoveries", and hearing the song his dad wrote as a bonus track was a cool item. Also the similarly themed tracks 9 and 11 ( with track 9 sounding like Billy Joel) are fun and nicely emotional pieces. Also, track 14, SALLY G is a briliant country piece, that he could quite easily have sold under another peudonym like some authors, as prolific as Paul is in writing and performing. But as always, its a case of something for everyone.

He deserved his first grammys back in the 'black magic woman' days, but I doubt back then such music by a non-anglo would be allowed to champion the awards scene. I figure that's the only way you can explain it. How else do you explain how 'smooth' was such a hot hit? I cringed every time I came across that stupid song in my day to day life.

Of all the albums I own that I use to "break them in" to the contemporary Christian sound, 40 Acres (along with either of Jennifer Knapp's recordings) is the most successful.  This is a wonderful album, rich both in praise and in wisdom, and rich both in the angst of young adulthood (yes, Christians get "angsty" too!) and in trust in God.  Yes, I tell my friends, Christians worry about finding the right person (and "Table for Two" is a marvelous meditation on that subject) and about differentiating themselves from family and friends and walking one's own walk with God (the marvelous "Faith my Eyes").

In my top five this is in the number two spot (Hot Rats is my favorite- I really dig the instrumental direction from this period). The Mothers take a different route on this live outing then they had on previous albums (most likely because its not really the Mothers... it's The Turtles). The story telling style of the set is common on live Zappa; but I don't usually get absorbed in other long winded Zappa rants. The story of the mudshark is kinda nasty but quality entertainment and is delivered with a good pace, and very tight musicianship from the Mothers (Turtles).

+The magic of this concert is multi-fold.  There is the poignancy of its being the last show.  The musical mastery that came from a long tour of live playing.

+Everything just jells; cleverly written, rather strange songs, amazingly crisp, simple arrangements, and oh, that guitar work.
+Interestingly, there's also an old-fashioned 1950s vibe to these songs, and in some cases the upbeat sound belies the down-and-out lyrics. Though every song is instantly hummable, "I'm Goin' Down" is particularly catchy, while "Dancing in the Dark" might arguably possess the most inspiring lyrics on the CD. Even on "Glory Days," where the lyrics come from the point of view of a guy who can't forget his fiery high school past, there is still a sense of pride; the gentle "My Hometown" has the same vibe.

+Ironicaly the title of this album is Low while it is deffinatley one of the high points of David Bowie's career. released as part of the Berlin Trilogy along with Station To Station and Heros as these were recorded in Berlin right after David Bowie, Lou Reed, and Iggy Pop all kicked herion. The album sounds very Berlin as well, kind of like when U2 went there to record Achtung Baby. The sound is still very modern and fresh sounding almost thirty years after the original release of the album.

+On the downside, the remastering on this 1999 reissue strikes me as being somewhat poor. I mean, if you've got an equalizer on your stereo, you can kinda even things out and you really won't have a problem. But the sound is kind of muffled, and compared to the 'leaping out of the speakers' sound of the 2002 reissue of Idol's self-titled debut, the difference is striking.

They offer many different flavors of genres; rock, R&B, pop, latin, blues, giving "Supernatural" its unique flavor.  Carlos Santans's guitar playing is amazing.  Every collaboration; Dave Matthews, Rob Thomas, Lauryn Hill, Eric Clapton, etc., has the chemistry feel in every track.  "Smooth" was a wonderful first release from the album.  It defines how Santana has evolved since 1982.  Hopefully, all future album releases from them are this brilliant.  "Supernatural" defines what how a true musician should sound.

I saw him in concert playing solo. Having a band with him would have been superfluous. I put him up there with Stevie Ray and Jimi for guitar-playing and Dylan for lyrics. He has wit that can make you laugh one moment and an emotional wallop that pierces your heart the next. Richard has never played a false note or sung a contrived lyric. One caveat; he is not for the simple-minded or those who are into faddish music. This is time-less, near-perfect music that makes you think and feel. Thank God for Richard Thompson.

+To capture that "magical" feeling on Christmas Eve and Other Stories, O'Neill took mostly traditional Christmas songs and infused them with electric guitar power and energy to create a majestic, emotional, captivating sound that tends to overwhelm me with emotion or awe (such as on the incredible "A Star To Follow" track or in the dynamic "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" track, which also appeared on Savatage's Dead Winter Dead CD).

Every song from the "Elton John: Live World Tour 1992" VHS video is included, in the same running order, in the "Elton John: Live In Barcelona" DVD.  In addition, the picture and sound quality are superb.  Elton had taken some time off from his arduous touring schedule and, more importantly, had kicked his alcohol and drug habits.  He's in top physical form, and his singing and piano playing are stronger than they had been in years.  In addition, he's touring to support his then recent album release, "The One."  That album marked a return to form for the songwriting partnership of Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
+Side 1 kicks off with the awesome instrumental Speed Of Life, which marries bleepy synths and treated percussion with a classic Carlos Alomar guitar line. The moody, short Breaking Glass has Bowie intoning his dark narrative ("You're such a wonderful person/ But you've got problems/ I'll never touch you") over a similar futuristic backdrop. Sound & Vision was the single, and easily the most accessible song but doesn't suffer for it at all. Nice sax solo. Always Crashing In The Same Car is another interesting electronic exercise with simple but evocative lyrics--it reminds me of Kraftwerk for some reason. Be My Wife has a great honky-tonk piano as a contrast to the synths. The resigned, hopeful instrumental A New Career In A New Town with its moving harmonica closes out Side 1.
+As for the concert itself, I thoroughly enjoyed it. One nice feature of the DVD is that, unlike most music DVDs out there, you can actually turn on closed captioning to display the lyrics to the songs, which converts the disk into a fun Karaoke kind of experience!

It seems people today only use the term to sound like they have a better vocabulary than they actually do, which would actually fit that word! Not just that, some of the interludes are kind of intermissions to show Tool's experimental side that had greatly grown on here.

+The gentle, determined, and insightful "Art Decade" may be the most sophisticated of all of the second half, comprised of four tracks: the elegant "Warszawa" the nearly unbearable and haunting "Weeping Wall," and, finally, the inevitable and fitting funeral of our civilization and the dialogue between the modern world and the infinite, "Subterraneans."  Our world is revealed a world subverted, and I suspect in 1977, and today, deluded.  Bowie was an artist fully realizing himself, who saw how the world to come, here now, more and more evident, would strip away any artifice, plunder the personality, and hollow out humanity `til there was nothing left but our beautiful artifacts.

I'm not knocking them (I truly enjoy their work) . . . BUT, when I listen to the original and see him, there's just no comparison.  Stevie Ray Vaughan just had a presence and command over the audience . . . and that TONE!

I A/B'ed with the domestic Capital CD and to my ears its no contest-this is the version of "Ram" to hear.

+I think this quote was entirely appropriate, in that we owe so much musical innovation to the popular musical performers who were nutured by 1960's, producing such wonders as Zappa and the great bands such as The Rolling Stones and The Who, who are still scoring our artistic perceptions on both commercials and dramatic themes on TV.

A masterpiece?

+1165	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I'm not the biggest Skillet fan. They're a decent band who hang their hat on creating raw, garage-band-sound music that I usually can't take for very long (funny, cause I'm a fan of Swedish Metal lol). So I was actually pretty happy when they began going a little more mainstream, and though I didn't like "Awake," this album is terrific. The musicianship is not all that, the songs generally consist of repetitive guitar strumming of the same chords; more repetitive than most alternative rock songs. But this album is so beautiful. The lyrics are deep, yet still rater typical, but John Cooper really shines, for I dare say I haven't heard a record with this much passion and emotion in the singing. You can almost see Cooper's head raised to the sky, his eyes shut tight, howling towards God.
+Slither-15/10:There's no wonder they released this song as a single, it Rocks~! Starts off slowly with Duff's bass line, but Slash's guitar sweeps in to create one the best riff on the album! Weiland's vocals remind us of his Stone Temple Pilots' days unlike most songs, and that is a good thing! Slash's solo is probably the best on the album, and his guitarmanship steals the show in my opinion! The video sure is weird, but the song definitely rocks the hardest and the best on the entire album!

+'Ram' is, if nothing else, a fun collection of witty pop and rock songs.  It most likely was intended as nothing more than that.  While its style would certainly encourage John to continue ravaging Paul's productions for their pop sensibilities and 'meaninglessness' relative to his own crusades for peace and justice in the world, Paul's work probably produced a lot more peace and joy than John ever Imagined (pun intended).  The songs on 'Ram' are not simply bouncy dance music, but bouyant numbers that bring pleasant and comforting images to heart and mind.  Songs such as '3 Legs', 'Smile Away', 'Monkberry Moon Delight' and 'Eat At Home' are just a joy to experience, while the lighter fare, such as 'Heart of the Country', 'Long Haired Lady', and 'The Back Seat of My Car' are poignant and touching.  There is an incredible mix of sounds, an aural cornucopia, on the production that keeps the listener attentive and interested.  While 'Band On the Run' is often heralded as McCartney's best post-Beatles work, this album gives away little ground to that widely acclaimed classic.  The only thing lifting 'Band On the Run' over the top of 'Ram' is its unifying theme.  The individual songs run a dead heat between the two discs.

+Over on Side 2 "Prince Of Peace" (not the Lennon song) is given a 'huge' Production - the boogieing guitars leaping out of your speakers accompanied by those complimentary backing singers - a sound that's akin to the Derek & The Dominoes "Layla" double (also from 1970). The 1:21 minutes of "Old Masters" is Bob Dylan's "Masters Of War" done on a lone piano to the melody of the Star Spangled Banner is a genuine unnerving oddity as he sings "...I can see through your mask..." You can so hear the fab rasp of Bonnie Bramlett on "Give Peace A Chance" which feels like a Hair rave up as loads of voices get all holy-roller, piano-banging, hand-clapping righteous about 'peace'. The gorgeous audio transfer continues on a crystal clear "Hurtsome Body" - a massive guitar rocker with a sound akin to Bobby Whitlock's debut LP. "Pisces Apple Lady" would be covered by England's Tucky Buzzard on their self-titled second LP "Tucky Buzzard" in June 1971 on Capitol Records - a jerk-funky little bopper about English gals that would equally have been at home on Little Feat's "Sailin' Shoes". It ends on the rollicking piano-boogie of "Roll Away The Stone" which bears a striking resemblance to the Mott The Hoople hit of same-name three years later in 1973 (naughty Ian).

(Phillips has confirmed, in interviews, that this never happened.)

There are many "scream-o" and "nu-metal" so called Christian bands, but nothing like Third Day.  These guys are annointed, and play great music.

Janet changes outfits so many times, you'd think she pass out from exhaustion, but she keeps on pushing out all those wonderful high/low notes till the end.  The sound track is also great, there may be audience roars, but JJ can be heard VERY easily over them; actually, the crowd's yelling is sort of a bonus in that the viewer can see & hear what the audience is feeling about those same pieces (they're always applauding for more).

One of the albums that took the biggest from his solo career was "Ram" which John Lennon dismissed and Roy Carr from the New Musical Express called "music for rooms with ducks on the wall", i.e., designed for domestic bliss. That ain't the way it is at all. "Ram" is one of McCartney's earliest sonic masterpieces. The songwriting, arrangements and performances are universally strong. From "Too Many People" (allegedly a veiled attack along with "Three Legs" and a random line from "Monkberry Moon Delight" that sounds like Paul's saying "have some of this Lennon" on the other three Beatles)to the amazing country rock of "Heart of the Country" every song could have held their own compared to John's or George's.

But going through my old tapes, I found a couple albums by Tool that I just love.  Aenima is amazing.  A great follow-up to Undertow.  I only wish I could've seen them live.  Stinkfist is a great song that seems to be about an addictive sexual relationship.  That's my interpretation, anyway.  It's funny 'cause Maynard James Keenan has claimed that he's never had problems with vices/ addictions, but then how can he write so well about addictions?  Eulogy is excellent.  H. is excellent.  Even the interludes are great.  Aenema is definitely my favorite song off the album.  The intensity and the rage in MJK's voice will give you goosebumps.

The two bonus tracks - "Naked Eye," which is great, although it's missing the Pete vocals that appeared in the song later, and "Substitute," which is pretty solid but a tad sloppy here and there - are just what they are. They're not inserted into the concert. They can be seen only as "extras." Why they weren't incorporated into the original film, I'll never know. The interview with Pete is the same 2004 which was recorded for the 2004 DVD version and limited theatrical release that year.  The BIG difference here, though, is the widescreen presentation. It's widescreen, and there doesn't seem to be any cropping or "fake letterboxed" going on here. I compared the 2004 DVD to this new 2006 one, and more of the film image can be seen on the 2006 version. What baffles me, though, is I didn't think they shot this film with widescreen cameras. Still, though, there seems to be more of a visual image on this new version. So, it's worth it if you love The Who, but it's frustrating that they didn't include the two bonus tracks as actually part of the concert (main program) on the DVD.

+This DVD takes from Wish You Were Here, Division Bell, Momentary Lapse, The Wall, and even Island. Also thrown in is a Richard Wright performance and a couple of cover songs. I just can't get over the writing talent of Gilmour. He really made me take a closer look at his works with Floyd and as a solo artist. Some criticize his lyricism on the new album (On An Island) but I love it. Especially The Division Bell lyrics. It's strange and metaphorically out there. The spacey and whymsical guitar talent is beyond todays standards. On stage Gilmour displays contentment and a lot of class. It's seems he's reached a new platform of maturity, happiness, and freshness to music.
+When one puts the whole thing in perspective, Steely Dan are the perfect "band" (i.e. duo) for this day and age; their self-criticizing cynicism and sardonic outlooks were just aching to address the musical world of the new millenium. The material cynically embraces a slew of characters who fit seamlessly with those created by Becker and Fagen in the 70s; Steely Dan sarcastically charms the self-absorbed girls one might encounter at the local mall ('Almost Gothic,' 'Negative Girl'), the narrators of the songs humorously getting nowhere as they are "hit with cryptic stuff" and "jerked around." Other tracks continue the dismal marches of the male characters one would have found in previous works like 'Midnite Cruiser' or 'Deacon Blues'; 'Jack of Speed' is a sharp example, while 'What a Shame About Me' is lyrically devastating and, as always with Becker and Fagen, musically misleading. Smooth, cool, and addictive music ironically tells the lyrical tales that are unusual and disturbing ('Cousin Dupree'), almost-sincere (almost being the key word) longings for something past (the title track, 'West of Hollywood') and just-out-of-reach romances ('Gaslighting Abbie,' 'Janie Runaway').

Overall, it wasn't the filler tracks that cause this album from becoming a great, it was track placement.  If the filler tracks were arranged in the right order in concordance to the lead tracks, than this album would have been a better sound, but as a band and album, it is very good.  I am hoping their sophmore album is as good as their debut.  Their potential is great, and I am looking forward to seeing them in the future.

+'Do It For The Kids' reminds me almost of a classic rock song, only because the chorus really aches to you. Weiland pumps it up and follows nicely along Slash here. I think this is where I became fully aware that this band isn't just a gimmick. Continuing down the album, we have some more Power Bars such as 'Spectacle' and 'Big Machine', but the best out of them is 'Illegal i Song', catchy and to the point. The CD then takes a turn and we see where Weiland and Roses/Cult were really working at.

There's a certain romanticism to "New Kid In Town" and I love it. The music features great guitar work and the keyboard work lacks nothing--it's all THAT good. Similarly, "Life In The Fast Lane" really has a great sound; the electric guitars come up to be a major part of the musical arrangement and The Eagles turn this out without ever letting go of a superfluous note! I really like "Life In The Fast Lane;" and listen for "Wasted Time." "Wasted Time" has more great piano work and The Eagles do this one up right!

+ "My Hometown" ends the album on a slightly more upbeat note, as a man reflects upon his life in the town in which he grew up and the changes that have affected both the town and himself. Fairly standard sentimental stuff; anyone other than Springsteen would have a difficult time pulling it off. It's the bridge of the song that really gives it its teeth and saves it from becoming folk drivel.
+I was hesitant to even review this album because it's one of my all time favorites, but I recognize that it's not terribly consistent and there are parts of it that I hate. Besides the first few songs, the rest are more Orwell-inspired and sort of hit or miss. I like "We are the Dead" and I hate "Rock n Roll with Me" and "Rebel Rebel." "Big Brother," "1984' and "Chant of the Ever circling Skeletal Family" probably all sound a bit dated nowadays, but taken in context they are interesting songs. Still, I think the first half of the album is much better than the rest.

+8138	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	My one-star rating reflects the quality of this album's transfer to CD, NOT the quality of the album itself, which is excellent.  Collectables seems to have used a master tape several generations removed from the original, and a damaged master, at that.  So, in addition to plenty of tape hiss, we get a song ("Funky Me") that ping-pongs back and forth across the stereo with another song superimposed over it, backwards, on the left channel.  This disc is the reason why I'm wary of Collectables' CDs.

+That gave way to "Try and love again" but ultimately what has held is the WISDOM of "Wasted Time", with its melancholy take, and yet hope for the future, hearbreakingly as many of us are able to find so much truth from our lives in it, and their MASTERPIECE "The Last Resort". It is a song that is decidely NOT rock and roll, and I wonder if many fans still skip it as I did for years. It is profound, with a finality that can easily compete with the greatest of the so-called "American Songbook", and it has a a sobriety, a sadness, a humanity that tears you up, in its clear message of the need for acceptance in one's life after a continuous search, so much of it "Wasted Time", indeed, for whatever life has dealt us.

The lyrics also demonstrate a maturity that was lacking in their  earlier (with the exception of the underrated Gaucho) albums.

+And what music! Most of the concert is based around arguably the best American pop album of the '80s, Paul Simon's Graceland. Inspired by a South African folk-pop accordion tune he had on cassette tape, Simon broke with political correctness of the time and travelled to that country. He sought out the brilliant musicians featured at this concert and, in the recording studio, gave them complete freedom to interpret his batch of new songs. Though the lyrics' theme is quintessentially American, and much of it tinged with the sadness of the author's recently ended marriage, the final product is infused with energy and joy.
+Unfortunately I listened to it after several listens of the aforementioned bands.  While PJ and the Junkies and the glorious Sonic Youth evoke these musical excursions that show just what you can do with electric guitars,  insightful lyrics, and unique perspectives that identify each and every bands 'place in the musical canon,  Velvet Revolver  makes use of every tired, redundant metal clich?  ever created since 1975 that will guarantee  a fat paycheck for the band and plenty of tired clich?d photo shoots.

In the Classic sense Paul does Riffs or hooks at his best, but I am happy to find that ,like Bowie, the albums he released were very experimental in the true sense. He had songs which were the "Single" that sold like crazy ( in the case of this album, Tracks One and 6 ( Let Em in, and Silly Love Songs), but the mix is not as bass-y as I recall, but thats easily fixed on a sound system with an EQ. Paul shows time and again that even on the bass he makes some brilliant bass riffs, with Good Night tonight being possibly the best.

But most of the others tell a story about an angel sent down to Earth to find something good that has been done in the name of Christmas in the last two thousand years.  These songs become overly sentimental even for me, the king of Christmas sentimentality.  They are also rather ordinary sounding musical wise, and I find my mind wandering.

In terms of lyrics, its not always obvious exactly what the duo is trying to say, but that is sort of how Steely Dan is supposed to be. Anyway, the nine songs all really mesh together well, they manage to fill up 50 minutes (which is more than some groups can do with 12-14 songs) and all of the songs are very strong.

Crowe had been off on his own for only awhile, but was already legendary in Bluegrass circles since his work as a teenaged banjo gunslinger with Jimmy Martin on tracks like "Train 45" and "Cripple Creek". Ricky Skaggs was also young, but as a teenager with Keith Whitley he had already developed the soulful tenor, staccato mandolin and fluid fiddle lines that would lead him to superstardom. Jerry Douglas was an unknown teenager, but showed the seeds which would make him the undisputed MASTER of his instrument. Tony Rice had replaced the legendary Dan Crary in the Bluegrass Alliance, then joined his brother Larry with an earlier version of J.D.'s band. During his "spare time" in Louisville with J.D. he was working out the most devastating acoustic guitar technique in the world, and he began to unleash it on this album. Tony's soulful lead vocals were a departure from the nasal "high lonesome" sounds that had dominated bluegrass for 50 years. The trio of Tony with Ricky's searing tenor and J.D.'s laser-accurate baritone made chorus's which affect how bluegrass is sung to this day, and if you don't think so, ask Alison Krauss or Dan Tyminski. The material is traditional AND original, respectful of past traditions AND chomping at the bit to break new ground. The performances are unsurpassed.  It would not be difficult to argue that this is the best and most influential bluegrass album ever, but it is not important whether it is "the best" or not. It is only important that if you have ANY interest in bluegrass music, THIS recording is a "must have".

The first six songs on disc one are great, from 1984-Suffragette City. The last couple of songs on disc one and the first couple of songs on disc two are a little lackluster,but Bowie really makes up for it with Big Brother,Width of a Circle,Jean Genie and Rock n' Roll Suicide. I haven't heard the last couple of songs on disc two because they were not on the vinyl so I can't comment on them. The bottom line is this is over all a good concert with more soul than any earlier or later bowie shows released so far. This would have been a spectacular single live disc. I recommended grabbing this one if you can find it for under $25.00.
+7942	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I was driving around downtown Milwaukee in the summer of 1991, accompanied by a good friend, trying to find an exit out of downtown Milwaukee, and we happened to pass a commercial looking CD store; but in the corner of the window was a neon sign that said "Jazz Cellar." Being big jazz fans, we parked the car to check it out. The Jazz Cellar was an all-jazz CD shop in the basement of a more commercial shop. In it was an African-American gentleman smoking a cigar and listening to jazz. My kind of person! My friend and I started looking through the selection of CDs, when we looked at each other in wonderment of what was being played over the sound system. It was some of the most killer Blues and Gospel infested jazz we had ever heard. The pianist was just a-stankin' it up! It was this CD, Gene Harris' Black and Blue. We both asked to buy a copy on the spot, but it hadn't been released to the public yet. Well, we bought some other CDs to patronize the business, but made a point, when we got back home to Illinois, to look for this CD. It is still a staple of my CD listening rotation, over 16 years after I purchased it. I have since collected all of Gene's CDs since his comeback in the 1980s. It is also worth it to check Gene out with the Ray Brown trio. This CD however, is my favorite example of Gene's work.

Other musicians who play guitar might show off their skills on the electric guitar via flashy high notes and runs and scales. Santana, on the other hand, electrifies in a different way: when he's at his best, he makes his instrument sing as powerfully as the human voice. For an example, go to "El Farol," Track 11 on this disc: who knew an electric guitar could sound so low-key and mournful?

+Filmed by Ringo Starr for Apple Films, the DVD includes the original theatrical release of Born to Boogie, as well as full coverage of the 5:30PM and 8:30PM Wembley Pool concerts. The movie has its moments, the highlight being a splendid run through Children of the Revolution in the studio with Elton John and Ringo sitting in. That version is even better than originally released single. I could do without the rest of the surreal fantasy scenes that interrupt the concert footage, but it reflects the same playful strangeness seen in Magical Mystery Tour. Given both concerts are included in their entirety, you lose nothing even though 3 songs from the 8:30 show don't make the original movie.

+With that said, this video captures  one of the 80s most underrated band at their best.  If you've had the  pleasure of catching Cheap Trick in concert, you know what I'm talking  about.  If you haven't, here's proof. Robin Zander may fall out of key here  and there, but he sings with so much feeling that it simply doesn't matter.  The rest of the band rocks rocks rocks!
+On the surface, it might seem like a fairly typical contemporary jazz album, but further listening reveals that, even within Grusin's discography, this is a very unique recording.  In my opinion, the personalities of guitarist Jeff Mironov, bassist Marcus Miller and drummer Harvey Mason are almost as much in the foreground as Grusin's, and this assemblage of talent is part of how this album is tight and spontaneous all at once.  "Mountain Dance" and the Grusin solo "Thanksong" are the most individual tracks, but every track on this album is a highlight.

+This is the fourth concert I've seen of hers. In Concert at Royal Albert Hall was outstanding but not as unique as her later concerts; Harem is an obsession with me and was what really first introduced me to her unique grasp of all styles, and La Luna was a little too off-beat for my taste and not one of my favorites. For some reason, this one really struck a chord with me. I generally enjoy more classical-minded concerts, with not too much overproduction and fairly simple songs. One Night in Eden fits the bill to perfection.

+The E-Z "Jocko Homo" isn't quite as radically different from the original, but it is pretty funny. If you really want to hear something that would frighten people out of the elevators, try "Peekaboo"! You think Devo's first interpretation of "Satisfaction" was bizarre? Listen to this one. Proof again that even the most straightforward song can be bent in many directions while still maintaining its identity.
+Sugarloaf/Spaceship Earth, the first two records from the band can now be found as a 2 for 1 on CD.  This is a great opportunity to rediscover the fine first LP from 1970 without the pops and clicks that you are enduring to hear side one.  What further necessitates the reason for purchase is the debut is strong enough that anything you enjoy from the 1971 follow-up is a bonus.  Thank you for the correction from W. Sheppard "The original Spaceship Earth LP has a track called "Hot Water", which is missing on this CD. They took that off to put "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" on as a "bonus track."

The lush harmonies help, but compromised diction makes some songs incomprehensible.  Tracks 14, 17 & 19 are non-hit filler.  "Help Me, Rhonda" as a song was always too repetitious, and the version here is poorly recorded.  "Good Vibrations" is one of the most overrated songs ever.  Still, there are beautiful melodies, sentiments, and harmonies on tracks 2, 4, 8, 12 & 15.

And some (6 or 7) songs are complete, many in live.  One standout scenes are the Ronettes singing "Shout" and "Be My Baby," and their energetic act (and that's live!) is incredibly exciting.

With powerful vocals as usual, the orchestrations are formidable without getting mushy.  As a lyricist, he is able to pull out all the stops.  Taking on subjects such as crises of faith and racial strife, he goes for each listener's heart by extolling us to seek consolation, healing, and meaning from our heavenly source.

+It's good listening music. I love to put them on when I'm involved in something else, much like it's good to listen to friends talking in the background. Without vocals, I can pay attention to what I'm doing. Yet, the music stands up to serious listening. I sometimes sit at the computer or listen to my iPod and pay attention to what they do. The work stands up to critical listening.
+The retrospective begins with footage of Judy's song and dance numbers at MGM and it shows how these numbers became the foundation for Judy's concerts.

+9154	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	While I don't think this is the best album Zappa and the Mothers have done, especially given what he's done from Freak Out to Weasels Ripped My Flesh were better. By this point, Zappa did a complete overhaul of the Mothers, keeping Don Preston and Ian Underwood from the old Mothers, and adding Jim Pons on bass, drummer Aynsley Dunbar (later of Journey, Jefferson Starship, etc.), and of course ex-Turtles Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman aka Flo & Eddie. This album was of course recorded live at the Fillmore East and was one of the last performances at the Fillmore. This album seems to be recorded the same night as John Lennon & Yoko Ono that became their Sometime In New York album. Anyway the music of Zappa's Filmore East album tends to the bathroom humor spectrum, songs that contain lyrics that I can't type here. The music was about obsessed groupies who demands a certain band to play their hit record "with a bullet". Which turns out to be "Happy Together". One song actually mentions hopping in the trunk of one's Gremlin. What's really funny is if you are familiar with cars from that time period, the AMC Gremlin had no trunk, instead it had a hatchback. They were also very small, so being romantic in a Gremlin is actually quite unromantic. I hear how "Willie the Pimp" was cut on the CD, but since I have the LP, let me tell you, this uncut version is amazing! The rest of the album contains original material, as well as live versions of previously released material. One of them, "Little House I Used to Live In" is not nearly as good as the original off Burnt Weeny Sandwich, because it's not as powerful, nowhere as long, and doesn't have that killer violin solo from Don "Sugarcane" Harris. Plus the album does have its share of filler (particularly near the end) that seems to only exist to fill up the album and little else, but still, not a bad album. So if you don't mind a Zappa album that emphasizes silly, juvenile bathroom humor, you'll like this.

All the songs are worthy and benefit from  trademark lush production and elegant backup vocals.  I sense a "dirty old  man" theme on this disk, however.  Songs such as Janie Runaway, Almost  Gothic, and Cousin Dupree all have a get-the-little-young-girl theme (Too  bad the Dan failed to include a jazzy sendup of "My Sharona").  There's nothing so incisive as Black Friday, or lovely pop like Dirty Work;  instead, you have well crafted pop/jazz with interesting lyrics, beautiful  horns/sax, and Fagen's wry nasal musings on later life.  The  bottom-of-the-barrel fin-de-siecle of 11 Tracks of Whack has been softly  transformed into a reminisced horniness.  Bottom Line:  A worth addition to  your Steely Dan collection, unless you hated Kamakiriad.

+8672	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is a great album but you have to accept it on its own terms. Bowie became obsessed with the novel, "1984" and wanted to do a musical about it (that is odd enough, isn't it?). The author's estate refused, so  Bowie went ahead and did the music anyway and released it as this album. It  is one of Bowie's best albums and sounds like a very talented, very  creative 17 year old set loose in a recording studio with some great  musicians and what he thought was an important piece of art destined to be  revered for all the ages. It isn't that, of course-but most very good work  is never completed without some degree of passion and self-delusion. Bowie  had the passion down alright. This is a rocking, moody, scary album-and it  is all great fun at the same time. Join him as he paints his apocalyptic  landscape full of decay and totalitarianism. It is well worth the ride!
+The Miracle of the Ark is one the most appreciated, its also the darkest-it changes from eerie tones to choirs and bombastic Ark renditions. A true gem!
+
+As pointed out of some reviews, there isn't too much depth in the portrait. That I suppose is a soft spot for many musicians grown up in Russia behind the iron curtain: they are more concerned with the technical side than music or art, as pointed out by Ashkenazy. But Kissin is still young and he has started to play chamber music, as depicted by the clip here, with more mature musicians like Gidon Kremer and the Hagans etc with whom he'll sure progress fast.
+Perhaps for me the best part is seeing, from this perspective of 40 years later, just how ambitious the music was, and how that's what they were into without much extra frills and fluff. Entertainment sure has changed.
+
+
+Okay, what about the songs themselves, you ask?  As widely accepted, the first (pre-psychedelic) 2/3 is absolutely stunning.  For my money, these clutch of early singles, from the riveting and monumental "HOTRS" to the exquisite pop of "Help Me Girl"  equal if not surpass the best early work of the Stones, The Who, Yardbirds, Zombies, Kinks, and other R&B influenced British Invasion bands.  Unfortunately, a deficient quantity of great early material (which is tied in with their virtually nonexistent songwriting ability) doomed The Animals to an early grave.

Mostly, though, you'll find here many of the sort of things one would expect of  Tangerine Dream from their Cubase era: varied and imaginative synth voicing  played over intricate and subtly varying percussion and sequenced rhythm  tracks; larger scale electronic odysseys, immaculately structured to reveal  themselves only over time; simple studies in pulse and colour; ballads that  are almost (but never actually) trite in their simplicity and finally songs  that scream their soul to the sky!

+Is it worth it?  Well, the remastering differs only so slightly from the Ryko remaster, just a litte more of that crispness that Bill Inglot is so known for.

But I'll state again, the differences are all but un-noticable, so if you're buying this hoping for some remarkable sonic upgrade, you'll be disappointed.
+My criticisms for this compilation are: A lot of these videos are longer than what they give us on this DVD.  For some unknown reason, some of these videos are truncated.  Also, the only two videos from the "janet." album are "That's the Way Love Goes" and Whoops Now".  This DVD is omitted some of Janet's most important videos like "If" and "Again".

+9496	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	REVIEW: With all honesty: John and Yoko's "WEDDING ALBUM" (the third and last of their avant-garde/experimental collaborations) is the absolute pits. Whereas the audio verite of "TWO VIRGINS" had at least a similtude of inspiration (a la The Beatles "Revolution 9"), and the all-out white noise of "LIFE WITH THE LIONS" made for an all-too-real snapshot of personal pain: the lame "John & Yoko" (where our newlyweds holler out each other's names for twenty-three freakin' minutes) is pure egocentric horse s**t. I could edit a half-hour tape of me farting, and it would sound more interesting than this bunch of nonsense. The second side is a bit better: an audio documentary of the Lennon's bed-in in "Amsterdam" prologued by Yoko's "John, Let's Hope For Peace" and ending with a halfway decent acoustic guitar/vocal improvisation that goes "stay in bed...grow your hair" followed by Lennon cooing "Goodnight" from The Beatles' "WHITE ALBUM". It may not be worth a couple of listens, but at least it is worth SOMETHING (although naive in their politics: they do make some interesting points such as "there isn't one European country that hasn't had its Hitler...we're violent people...but I prefer myself when I'm non-violent. I prefer my friends when they're non-violent. It just makes for easier living"). The original LP was accompanied by a gargantuan box set filled to the brim with booklets, a fascimile of J. and Y.'s marriage certificate, photos, and a picture of a piece of wedding cake. Obviously Beatle John desired to celebrate his marriage to Yoko, but I wonder if the elaborate packaging was used to compensate for the lack of originality (and utter triviality) of the "WEDDING ALBUM" itself. Completists will treasure it more so than the casual Beatle listener even though the three bonus tracks do help to make it a much better bargain. Yoko haters should quickly turn the other way and run: this isn't going to win you over as a fan. I am a Yoko fan, and I can honestly say that I love "Who Has Seen The Wind?" and "Listen, The Snow Is Falling". But the other selections aren't worth defending.

Watching Stevie Ray Vaughan play guitar and sing is nothing short of a revelation. This guy was one of the most amazing guitarists ever, he's a great singer. There's not a whole lot of things to not like about him. This DVD is much shorter than most concert DVD's, at a mere 63 minutes, but the picture quality is perfect and the sound quality is fantastic. I'm not a big fan of singers who change the tempo or sometimes even the beat of their music, which Vaughan never does. But, anyway...Every performance on here was solid but a few standouts were "Voodoo Chile" which is, of course, an old Jimi Hendrix song, but Vaughan took an amazing guitar solo and made it even better. "Pride & Joy" is one of my favorite SRV songs and he's great performing it. The licks he throws out with "Texas Flood" are, indeed, as the back says "an encycolpedia of incandescent licks streaming forth like a thunder shower. Like a flood." "Third Stone from the Sun" is yet anther Hendrix solo which Vaughan throws so much musical and phyiscal power into it manages to become one of the best performances of a guitar solo I've ever witnessed. The guitar solo "Lenny" which Vaughan dedicates to his wife is one of the most beautiful guitar solo I've ever heard. For me, concert DVD's are for entertainment and interest. It's rare that you can really catch the power delivered in a concert on camera, but this is an exception. Drummer Chris Layton mentions on the back synopsis that it was just a regular live show and cameras just happened to be there...He wasn't lying. A+

+I especially like the candid explanation about how the Beatles' vision and influence of the early 60's was thought of by them and many of us here in the States, and then seeing one Turtles band member when finally seeing the "real Beatles" in a UK tour a few years later, became so upset seeing what he visioned of the Beatles (his heroes of sorts) to really be a group of UK rockers messed up on drugs & alcohol and wiped out nightly at a local UK nightclub the Turtles would play at on the tour. It affected one Turtles' band member so much seeing this side of the Beatles, he walked out after a few days playing the gig. I have always wondered if there was no British Invasion in the 60's, where US rock music would have gone? Because due to the British Invasion, is where the influx of drugs into US culture initially was supplied from and the rest is history...

+I skipped Spark because this particular video deserves special mention.  The song is Tori's best and most powerful one ever, in my opinion, and the video more than lives up to the challenge of representing that masterpiece.  Some may find it disturbing, though.  It opens with Tori lying on the ground in a forest, bound and blindfolded; she had obviously just been removed from a car trunk, and the man responsible for it lies prostrate beside the car.  Tori runs away through the woods, soon followed by the man, submerges herself in a stream to remove her blindfold, and finally reaches the safety of a road, where two girls stop but drive off without helping her.  This video is incredibly powerful, giving me goosebumps every time I watch it.

But, they add a lot of weight to a lot of their songs.  Maynard James Keesan is a great vocalist, but he often is drowned out, either by his own choice with a low volume or just by the sheer noise of the other 3 guys, who are great in their own right.  While I can't say that his writing is meaningful to me, it shines on Eulogy and Hooker With a Penis.  "Songs" like Message to Harry Manback and Die Eier Von Satan are just filler, really, the former sounding like a answering machine message at VERY low volume, the other totally in German so it doesn't make any sense at all-a little too over the top if you ask me.  Useful Idiot is 40 seconds of a guitar getting louder before going into bass on the next song.  If they just got rid of that [stuff], they'd have a great album (and lo and behold, you get Lateralus).

If you want to own the ULTIMATE 'Garland On TV' video, buy this one....immediately. Her television work never reached this level of excellence, before or after, and say what you may about 'colorization,' it adds a lot to the over-all impact of her performance. She had just reached the zenith of her concert career in 1961 at Carnegie Hall, and this '62 TV special is the closest we will ever come to witnessing the magic she created there.

Then- after the song was over, the drummers played a 6 beat cycle which lead to the formation of "Gimme Some Lovin" with Phil Lesh on backing vocals. The show progressed through "Going Down the...." and a powerful "Not Fade Away." Unfortunately, The closing credits played thru "Johnny B. Goode," a great song all of  in itself being disrupted.

When I watched this DVD I almost literally went into spiritual shock. His performance of "Third Stone From the Sun" was key in landing him a tie (with Allan Holdsworth) for #1 on my list. I had never seen anyone (not even Jimi himself) play this song live. Not only that, the whole performance is essentially "Not of This Earth" in quality, virtuosity, and soulfulness.

I was ecstatic when he went through a revival in the late 80's, but it was tragically cut short when Roy died, then his reputation again fell by the wayside. His voice remains the purest instrument in popular music in the last fifty years.

+8589	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	If you went back into the late 90's/early 00's and asked me what my favorite bands were, I would have gladly answered Tool and Rage Against the Machine.  Back then, I thought both bands were such musically-brilliant, insightful bands because of the fact that they were marketed as bands that were heavy metal yet were insightful and thought-provoking, and being the gullable kid I was due to my lack of knowledge of underground music at the time, I ate them both up like hotcakes.  For the last seven years or so, I've been neck-deep in underground metal and industrial bands, and to say that I've burned my bridges to Tool and RATM would be an understatement.  Rather, it would be more appropriate to say that I hijacked a TOS-1 Buratino flamethrower tank and not only decimated said bridges with the tank's massive thermobaric rocket payload, but also decimated any nearby engineering firms that could have rebuilt those bridges to said alt-metal bands. Okay, enough of my rambling, on to reviewing Tool's "Aenima."

Nevertheless, though instrumentals were a commonplace occurance, for a banjo-infused Dixieland-style tune to climb the charts missing the top spot by a single notch was indeed a surprising event. This unlikely achievement came in the form of the Village Stompers, a group of Dixieland band veterans, performing a jaunty, swinging tune tagged "Washington Square". Their unique sound also garnered enough attention to send their "Washington Square" lp into the top five of the album charts as well. Although the uniqueness of their sound was somewhat expended and subsequent singles did not fare very well, the Stompers continued to record albums into the later 60's

In my full-blown 5.1 home-theater system, the audio is phenomenal (you even have two audio qualities to select from). The DVD audio is defnitely superior to the CD audio; enough said about the audio.  Now, the criticism of the video is justified--grainy and pixelated on my 50" plasma when the camera pans/zooms out to the full stage and merely okay when the camera zooms in on individual band members.  There's do doubt the light show is over-the-top, but I'm slightly sad the video is sub-par (yes, Gilmour says he made a mistake by not taping on film).  The Eagle Hell Freezes Over DVD from the same Vintage is better.  If the video were as good as the recent U2 DVD concert releases, this PULSE DVD might have been one of greatest of all time.  ...Now, onto the content of the DVD.  Many have already written extensively about most of the DVD.  But for me, the surprise performance is "Sorrow."  The band rocks THE hardest on this track.  Nick Mason behind the drum kit looks like he actually breaks a sweat near the end of the track, whereas he's mostly passive through most of the other songs.  Rick Wright also moves around his his keyboards more than other songs, and Gilmour rips a mean guitar on this one.  I've liked this track for years on the PULSE CD, but the visuals behind it give it much more heft.  This track is absolutely fantastic.

+SRV is ON FIRE for this whole DVD. Some people think SRV got better after he kicked his drug habit. I would say that overall his ability wasn't affected by drugs. Toward the end of his drug habit when he was being more and more consumed by his usage, his performances became more erratically delivered, but this DVD is PROOF that he was in his PRIME in 1983, drugs or no drugs!

+With a running time of just over sixty minutes and fifteen songs, you'd think there might be some weak tracks, but they are all perfectly crafted power pop delights--all written by Sweet.  Thanks to hometown boy Matthew Sweet, Nebraska has contributed something to popular music besides Zager and Evans, who recorded "In the Year 2525" back in 1969.  This is a terrific album--and check out the 1950s-era cover shot of Tuesday Weld.  [There's another black-and-white shot included in the booklet along with song lyrics.]  This album should have propelled Sweet into superstar status--and the title track did go Top 10 on the Modern Rock charts--but in a pop world where boy bands and precocious nymphettes reign supreme, Sweet seems doomed to cult status.  There's a void in you music collection if it doesn't include this album.  ESSENTIAL

+Jimmy McCullough takes over lead vocal on a song he co-wrote with Colin Allen, "Wino Junko". Another OK but nothing special song, it has the distinct honor of being the best song on the album NOT sung by Paul. It's a mellow, minor-key number, driven by electric keyboards and reverby vocals. Sort of reminds me of Steely Dan's "Do It Again", except not as memorable. Another song about drug abuse, this time booze, from someone who died from an overdose. Overall so far there's been a really morose vibe to this album, which is alleviated by "Silly Love Songs", thank heavens, because as great as that song is, it's killed...

+The facts speak otherwise. If Furtwaengler was an enthusiastic collaborator, why did he resign from all his posts after protesting the ousting of Jewish musicians and the ban on Hindemith? Yehudi Menuhin pointed out that in resigning, Furtwaengler gave up all benefits and pensions, and indeed was penniless after the war. He never resumed his posts during the regime, only remaining with the Berlin Philharmonic as a free-lance conductor. Any concessions that he made, such as conducting at the "Winterhilfe" concerts (a series of charity events) were done to wring from Goebbels the assurance that the Berlin Philharmonic would continue to be subsidized and that THEY WOULD BE EXEMPT FROM THE ARYANIZATION DECREE, ALLOWING THE JEWISH MUSICIANS TO CONTINUE AS BERLIN PHILHARMONIC MEMBERS. When the Jewish members finally did emigrate, Furtwaengler expressed his regret and continued to write to them. And of course, if Furtwaengler was such a loyal supporter of the Nazis, why did Himmler finally order the Gestapo to shadow the conductor, causing him to seek asylum in Switzerland to avoid assassination? Remember that Himmler wrote in Furtwaengler's dossier, "There is no Jew, filthy as he may be, for whom Furtwaengler does not stretch out a helping hand."

For those who might not be aware, however, this is an album to own and play to death, at a loud setting (definitely at 11). The first half was recorded in the studio and has many classic guitar phrases we've all heard whether we knew what it was or not. Other chords and breaks are still fresh after all these years. Cream has been such a powerful influence that some of it sounds like current MTV stuff. The second CD is from live concerts and gives satisfyingly long guitar, drum and harmonica solos. If you want the ultimate Cream experience, get this one.

+The remainder of the songs are chosen from the October 1999 Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young 'Looking Forward' reunion disc, and of course the 'Silver and Gold' audio CD.  The two opening numbers, 'Looking Forward' and 'Out of Control' and a later track, 'Slowpoke' appear on the CSNY CD.  From 'Silver and Gold' we have 'Good To See You', 'Daddy Went Walking', 'Buffalo Springfield Again', 'The Great Divide', 'Red Sun' and 'Distant Camera'.  Two of these songs, 'Daddy Went Walking' and 'Buffalo Springfield Again' also appear on the 'Red Rocks' tape, and sound better with full instrumental backing.  'Good To See You', 'Distant Camera', and 'Slowpoke' are my personal favorites.

+Overall, I'd say that "Contraband" is a solid album that never really seems to stamp an identity on any of their songs.  They seem too preoccupied with keeping that "Slash sound" that none of their songs stand out on their own.  The effect of the whole album is...wow, this is good.  Every song rocks pretty hard, and the disc opens with a couple of scorchers:  "Sucker Train Blues," "Do it for the Kids," and "Big Machine."  Apart from those, honestly...I look at the song titles and just can't even recall the songs except for the mediocre "Headspace," the ballad "Fall to Pieces," rager "Set Me Free" and closing "Loving the Alien," with its great bridge.  Like I said, I really like the whole album and can listen to it all the way through, but no single song really grabs me, hence the four stars.  Still, I hope these guys can keep it together to put out another record, because the personnel rocks, and even after all their past successes, these guys have the potential to be huge, especially in a world where real rock'n'roll doesn't exist.

Then, four lost boys from LA (Tool) became a big hit with their first album Opiate and fans answered to their music and then became satisfied with Tool's amazing creativity in their music. Most songs in this album reach over the four minute mark that will give them the idea to make something longer and very original (In their future releases).

The combination of jazz, blues, and funk with the usual unique melodies and intriguing lyrics make this a very enjoyable listen.

+315	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This album is well written and performed to a superior level of musicianship. The sound is more countryish than hard southern rock, but quite enjoyable to listen to.
+This album is a real grower, and I still listen to it now. "Stinkfist" came second in the 1996 Hot 100 on Triple J in Australia and it is not the only excellent track. Nearly every track is worth listening to and this album, for me, is about the pinnacle of modern hard rock. This, I reckon, is Tool's best, but the "Undertow" and "Lateralus" albums are also pretty darn good as well.
+Yup, pretty dark stuff, this. Yet it remains the Eagle's finest recorded single album, even with the misstep of "Wasted Time." And oddly enough, some 20 years later, "Life In The Fast Lane's" hapless couple still sound as clueless, current and today in Dubya's 2004 as they did in the consumer-take-all world of the Bicentennial of 1976.
+Listen to the often cited song cycle of 'Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing-reprise' if you don't believe, he was already there. Not the transition album some expert critics would have you believe, the real transition album would have been "Aladdin Sane". Sure you get some bleed through of moments past but this collection isn't built upon the past but pushing forward. I fail to find any music during the 'Thin White Duke' period that has as much soul or energy put into it as the aforementioned songs set of ST/C/ST-R or "We are the Dead", any of which would have been quite at home on either "Young Americans" or "Station to Station".
+6039	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I was stoked on hearing Home when was first issued almost forty years ago, for despite the whimsically silly cover artwork, on the vinyl itself was the darkest record Procol Harum has recorded. Song after song turns to the dreaded subject of death and I just love it. Keith Reid really let loose with a demonic vision here. So why am I giving this Salvo reissue only four stars? The main reason is that the only extras are a couple of raw tracks and they happen to be of my least favorite songs on the album. I already own an earlier remaster that offers much more in the way of extras but which is not as aurally exciting. So then the strength of this reissue lies not only in the crispness of the sound, but in the superior quality of the insert.
+The name of the album conjures up a sense of danger, and the album truely works to express these feelings. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll right? All of this comes full circle with the final masterpiece of a track, Loving The Alien. It gives a sense of hope in the presence of total chaotic rock album. Very much like STP's last cd, Shangra-La-deeda.

+One of the best songs on the album is the Everlast collaboration,  "Put Your Lights On." A very somber and surreal song, it's pretty  great. Not what you'd expect from the guy who's former group brought you  "Jump Around". Another standout is the intrumental opus "The  Calling," with Eric Clapton. Lauryn Hill, who featured Carlos Santana  on her album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," scores pretty  well with "Do You Like the Way". The only weak track is  "Maria, Maria" (which is, of course, the second single off the  album).

The original tracks are LICENSE TO CHILL and I SLEEP BETTER(IN SOMEONE ELSE'S BED). The latter track features Will Smith,originally known as The Fresh Prince,who co-wrote the track. Hits from 1984's SUDDENLY are the title track,CARIBBEAN QUEEN(NO MORE LOVE ON THE RUN),LOVERBOY and MYSTERY LADY. From 1986's LOVE ZONE are the title track and THERE WILL BE SAD SONGS(TO MAKE YOU CRY). From 1988's TEAR DOWN THESE WALLS are the title track,THE COLOR OF LOVE,HERE'S TO YOU and GET OUT OF MY DREAMS GET INTO MY CAR. LOVE IS FOREVER from LOVE ZONE should be on this collection. Also there's WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH(THE TOUGH GET GOING) from the 1985 film THE JEWEL OF THE NILE. In the video,the film's stars Michael Douglas,Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito(they starred in the 1984 predecessor ROMANCING THE STONE),appear as background vocalists for Ocean performing the song on stage.

+8875	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I think this is one case where the additions to the original album actually detract, or at least they should have been put on the tailend so they would not interfere with an album that was already well thought out. The music is top notch. I once saw a score that showed how Uncle Meat was put together. It was just like an orchestra score. And the care taken shows in the music, very complex but still works wonderfully, hauntingly beautiful music.  It is a shame that rock did not follow down this path more, but I honestly think it is just to much work, the music is very complex,at least the instrumental Uncle Meat parts. This album does not get enough attention and is near the top of any lists of great albums (also put Richard and Linda Thompsons "I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight and the soundtrack to "Paris Tx" by Ry Cooder on that same list). Uncle Meat is also a very playful funny album and a lot of fun if you stick with it and give it a chance to sink in. The album is not like any other album, the only ones that are even somewhat similiar in content are "Weasles Ripped My Flesh" or "Burnt Weeny Sandwich" and neither are as good as "Uncle Meat" but are worth tracking down if you liked "Uncle Meat" "Uncle Meat" is in its own category, like Eno's "Another Green World".
+3867	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Chip Davis concerts are without saying, an experience in the realm of music and sound that will stay with you for days upon a time.  As leader of the legendary Mannheim Steamroller, his knack for selecting the proper music for each performance is astounding.  I've seen his concerts many times, but this last one in December of 2002 was seen through the eyes of my grandchildren Nick and Alexis.  They sat there spellbound, feeling each emotion in the transition of the musicians and orchestra that sent your head reeling with joy and excitement.  Nick, who is 12 years of age, took the CD that he purchased at the concert to school with him the very next day and gave a talk about the concert.  His class was very impressed with the CD and his presentation of the evening's music. The reason I mention this event is the album I'm about to review has most of the cues inclusive ~ "MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER CHRISTMAS LIVE".
+1628	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I'm a guitarist and have a wide range of music I like, from Abba to Zappa. I do like the blues quite a bit, I've seen Buddy Guy and other great blues players over the years but sadly I missed seeing SRV at Alpine Valley the night of his death. I was supposed to go but I ended up having to run sound at my church instead. I like Stevie, but I'm not a "go gagga over him fan", he gets too repetitious in his playing in most of his stuff for my liking. And his band, well they are sorely lacking they just don't ever push him, they are almost like a drum and bass machine for the most part. And well I hate to mention the elephant in the room but the Hendrix influence is just a bit too much at times for me too. Hence although I have several albums of his they don't really get much play time.  All that out of the way, IMO if there's one thing of Stevie's everyone should have it's this, he's really on at this performance, it's a great intimate venue and his playing is raw, stripped down and honest. The highlight of the performance is Lenny and it's certainly a watershed point in his playing for him IMO. It really shows his range and taste. I've watched this MANY times and it never grows old, I have it playing right now hence the inspiration to finally write a review. Thanks for the music Stevie, gone too soon, far too soon.

The band also includes: Christine McVie- piano and keyboards (she also played in the group Chicken Shack and Christine Perfect), John McVie (also played in the group John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers)- bass and Mick Fleetwood- drums (both of them are the original members, when tne band are more rock'n'roll and bluesy with Peter Green). Very good show, refined, very well played and accompanied by backing vocals and a Marching Band in the end. Perhaps, it's their best presentation.
+Unlike most Yes concerts that open with Stravinsky's Firebird Suite and an explosive opening number, we're treated with solo treatments from each member to showcase their individual talents. Certainly unexpected! The whole show is great with Jon as his usual angelic self, Bill, still in his Simmons electronic drums phase (as a drummer myself who has followed him fervishly, I was a bit disapointed on his reliance of Ben Franklin's discovery!), Rick, who's fingers on the 88s continue to blur your eyes with grace and ease, and Steve just keeps getting tasteful as always on the 6-12 string wonder instrument.

+Overall, the sound quality of this Japanese disc is quite good although not great but good enough.  4 stars because of this and because my favourite Eagles tracks it just so happens are not here ("One of These Nights", "I Can't Tell You Why" and a few more)but that doesn't make this a bad album.  Have to admit to suffering from having listened to too much of the first track over the years and that's probably why the rating suffered.
+Album opener "Stinkfist" has bouncy guitar noises, then, after some guitar feedback, the riffs become humming, and the drums almost sound tribal at times.

The quintesential musical rouge, who, with all odds against him, continued to create and baffle the masses. It would be ridiculous for me to lable this  his best, for as true Zappa fans know, every production of his was a true  gem in it's own right. What I find unique in this recording, is Frank's  ability to influence and affect those otherwise "non-Zappa fans"  with his extremely versitile and ever-changing compositions. In essense, he  created a totaly different sound "overnight" just to accomadate  his non-fans for the purpose of their musical enjoyment. The end result:  Musical enjoyment of somebody you don't like! And to us, the diehards, just  another band from L.A. continuing to create and baffle and smother us with  musical genius and heartfelt bliss. Frank is not in the Rock and Roll Hall  of Fame. But neither he or his fans really care. We have his music!  "Overnight" is truly a sensation. Try it, you'll like it. If you  don't, there are a few Bay City Roller albums floating around out there!

+Pacific Gas and Electric was initially known as Bluesberry Jam and, at that time, included drummer Fito De La Parra.  In 1968, De La Parra left the Bluesberry and joined Canned Heat.  Canned Heat's drummer, Frank Cook left Canned Heat and joined what would soon be known as Pacific Gas and Electric. (De La Para obviously fared better in the trade.) About the same time Cook and De La Para swapped places, guitar extraordinaire Glenn Schwartz left the James Gang and his home town in Ohio to come to California.  Schwartz was so good that the rock and roll world predicted the end of the James Gang.  Interestingly, Schwartz was soon replaced in the James Gang by none other than Joe Walsh and the band continued on.

Fortunately, I DO possess good hearing, excellent audio equipment and happen to own over 8,000 CDs - many of which are live recordings and remasters of concerts from many DECADES ago - not only three years ago in 2007!  It's not asking a lot to expect the sound technicians and engineers to do their job right and for the final release to sound terrific, but with this release, the exceptionally poor job that Peter Asher and Nathaniel Kunkel (!) did with the sound and audio engineering is an audio nightmare. I don't even know how this was released to the general public. For an example of what I'm talking about, the first few Led Zeppelin albums came out in 1969 and 1970, they're not even live, and with the final remasters, they all sound like they were recorded last month.  Which is what this terrific reunion SHOULD have sounded like.

+Keep'n the Blues Alive !!!!!

+4. Spend A Little Doe - O.K...
+"Riding My Nightmare" is another soft ballad that makes me want to fly (and Nazareth's "Flying!), this time more emphasis on being soulful.  "Parents" opens with these devastating guitar riffs and strong drumming before slowing down the pace and going light and jazzy like early Camel perhaps (yeah I know, I'm namedropping WAY too many artists in this review!) but the vocal melody is really beautiful.  I've... never heard lyrics like these before.  Lyrics about parents guiding their kids the right way (don't go to mysterious places!) and questioning God's existence.  Wow this song has a strong mood going on.  A bit of soul in the vocal melody too.  Very mellow and well, chill.  Chill!  Yes that's the word, haha.  Beautiful extended guitar solo for several minutes.  The rhythm is professional and stands tall with the best of them.
+Sadly enough, almost 20 years later, the songs still ring true.
+  LYRICS ---- 10/10
+
+On the more song-based material, "Hooker with a Penis" grooves hard in an almost post-punk sensibility with fast guitars and thick rhythms; whilst the way the keyboard riff on "Intermission" is interpreted on guitars on "Jimmy" is simply amazing. The bass and drums behind the guitars are stomping and the vocal melody is incredible. It is impossible not to see how much Dead Soul Tribe's Devon Graves has been influenced by this band. This is arguably the most overlooked song on Aenima, and its grinding riffage at the very end is crushing to say the least. Speaking of influences, the opening bass line of "Forty-Six & 2" must have certainly inspired Dream Theater when they were writing "Home". This is another song with sublime percussion, a gripping chorus, and swift chord progressions. The instrumental break highlights Danny Carey's prowess - he is perhaps the most creative drummer in rock today.
+Best track, which should be a single yesterday, is "Loving the Alien", which is NOT the David Bowie song, but a very heartfelt original ballad.  There are times when Slash's playing does resemble the late Mick Ronson's, but most of this stuff sounds very original.
+But, this four CD collection has so many other fabulous songs, including my favorites "I Remember When I Loved Her" and "Imagine The Swan."  The entire "Odessey and Oracle" album is here including some alternate takes and remixes, and the fourth CD is some material recorded on the BBC radio show where the DJ discusses with the guys about their music and even their intentions of breaking up.
+And, of course, UA/AH was a number 1 AM radio hit.
+Obviously, I am pointing and clicking on this right away. I knew I had at least a fraction of a good song on my hands--it turned out that "Bra" was the short sample in the film.

+Then, over time, these songs popped up in FZ concerts and live albums. "Camarill Brillo" took on a new life as an intro to "Muffin Man" as Frank dragged out the "It was useless anymore" ending and the opening notes of "Muffin Man" came roaring in like Godzilla over Tokyo.

This album is great, and I fully intend to get out and get the version with the two bonus tracks.

+9582	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Probably the most clever album I own; only to be followed by Elvis's "Armed Forces" and "Imperial Bedroom".  Elvis and the attractions are more of a force on these 30 tracks than on any of his others.  I bought this album before I really could appreciate the art of word crafting.  It took reading many acclaimed novels, and sampling other hailed lyricists (Bono, Eminem, Springsteen, Dylan, etc..) to make my decision on who  the lyrical King was; most properly the title goes to Elvis. In my opinion Elvis wrote the book on word play, and combined with the perfectly crafted accompaniment (provided by the attractions) we have 30 "stick it to 'em" bold and brazen classic songs.

+
+  A lot of Yanni's early work, as fans know, is done YES with piano but mostly with electronic keyboards and synthesisers, or a mix of the two. More recent works of his have a big, full orchestra feel and a lot of vocals in them, hinting at a fresh new approach. What IN MY TIME does is return to the ultimate in simplicity. A lot of this work is done ONLY with piano or with piano and VERY light accompaniment on strings. The result is an album that, while it does not have the epic feel of TRIBUTE or LIVE AT THE ACROPOLIS, it  is beautiful, intimate and soaringly romantic. It WILL touch your heart if you have the courage to LET your heart be touched.

+3530	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	This album is very commercial. Santana has understood how to make money with songs that are devoted to the people fond of the music of MTV but not surely to the listeners of Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis or Tito Puente. If you  wish to listen some real genuine latin music, buy the first album of  Ibrahim Ferrer or the last of Compay Segundo.  Luckily, in this album  Santana shows that he has not forgotten how to play the guitar.

+1299	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	For Pink Floyd and David Gilmour fans out there, a note of caution: this concert has no lasers, no pyrotechnics, and no giant inflatable pigs. In fact, there's just David Gilmour, his acoustic guitar, and a few musicians. Nevertheless, the scaled down sound works for this selection of Pink Floyd songs, some covers, and a (surprisingly) few Dave Gilmour solo pieces. The additional performers - a cellist, an oboist, a small choir, and a pianist, among others - help lend a fresh feeling to the old Floyd standards, but it's the covers and solo pieces such as "Hushabye Mountain" and "Smile" that really shine. "Je Crois Entendre Encore," from a Bizet opera, and the Richard Wright song "Breakthrough" (featuring the artist himself on piano and vocals) are worth the price of the disc alone, but if you need more there are some good extras and bonus songs to add icing to the cake.

+This was an odd, transitional perriod in Zappa's career. Following the injuries sustained when a deranged fan tossed him from the stage of London's Rainbow Theater in 1971, he released&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Grand-Wazoo/dp/B0000009SF/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Grand Wazoo</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Waka-Jawaka/dp/B0000009SE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Waka Jawaka</a>, both in 1972...were they "jazz rock" or "rock jazz?"

I saw this band at Boston Music Hall (opening act, Chuck Berry), and while the vocal side of the music was probably the most deliberately filthy songwriting of his entire career, Zappa WAILED on guitar. The Flo and Eddie band, to me, was the next logical step in "The Mothers of Invention," as they were the ultimate bad-boy garage band. I enjoyed the two 1972 albums, but I was ready for some hardcore Mothers music when I tore the shrink-wrap from the "Over-nite Sensation" LP. Maybe I'd set the expectations bar too high, but nothing really grabbed me.
+The tunes are recorded straight and clean without overdubbing.  Unlike many direct-to-disc recordings, the playing is unrestrained, yet it  achieves the perfection one expects from overdubbed construction.  Best of  all, these guys really groove together.

+Bjork hasn't changed that much. Video #1 (Human Behavior) is so cute and she seems to be really innocent.

While being incredibly disappointed with many concert dvd purchases in the past - this one was a nice surprise.  Technically there are better concert DVD's out there, but conveying the artists feelings and emotions, while making the listener feel a part of the performance are this DVD's strong points.  Fantastic musicians, good but not great audio (Joni's guitar with it's heavy effects was a little too high in the mix, while the drums and bass were too far back).  Unlike some others, I liked the sound and texture of her voice - I thought it fit her jazzy-pop-rock songs perfectly.  Just fast forward through the overly complimentary intro of j.m., sit back and enjoy being front and center.

+Having said all that, this DVD is great nonetheless,(strangely though it has not been released on CD! which would have made an invaluable addition to Floyd/Gilmour collection),giving us fans the opportunity  to see one of the greatest musicians in rock history still doing what he knows best.

+Do I have to say it? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- my first desert island SACD
+Zappa is comfortable and at ease  with his audience on this album; he delivers a couple of relaxed monologues  about, e.g., monster movies, and his guitar work is always both brilliant  and accessible. His musical arrangements are funky and tasteful; his  lyrical satire is in top form, has left behind the snide contemptuousness  of some of his early stuff, and hasn't yet taken on the bitter,  curmudgeonly edge that came to characterize some of his later work. In  short, he comes across as what he was: a genius guitarist and composer who  was enjoying himself onstage with both the audience and the band.
+It is by far the most difficult instrument to play.  The thereminist has absolutely no tactile references whatsoever.  Absolutely perfect pitch is required.  The sounds are created by moving one's hands nearer to or farther from the antennae, one to control pitch and the other to control volume and timbre.  When one realised the difficulties of this instrument, her performance is made all the more remarkable.  She shares with us her great artistry.  It is a pity that not more recordings were made of her.  Nevertheless, this recording is absolutely wonderful and to anyone who is interested in hearing classical music from a new vantage point, I would reccommend this recording without reserve.

Everything about this CD is amazing, The lyrics, the guitar work, the bass work, the incredible drumming, even the friggin interludes are amazing ("(-) ions")! I love every single track on this CD (except "Hooker with a Penis"), because of all the different elements that each and every song has. Let's use "Eulogy" for an example. Starts with some soft sampling, the drums start playing at a very soft level, then the heavy guitar kicks in, and after a verse, it turns into a very heavy song. Then it mellows out again, only to get heavy all over again. "Forty Six & 2", which may be the best song on the CD (or world), starts with an eerie bass riff, and then the guitar kicks in, which makes up for the most beautiful intro on any CD ever. Not to mention about a minute later, it gets heavy. But the best song on the CD is probably that song or "Third Eye", a very experimentive 14 minute classic. Everything from Bill Hicks quotes from sampling to soft guitar to multiple drum solos, and definitely some of the best vocals ever.

Their sound is more laid back but is exciting and enjoyable to listen to. And what a new dimension to watch them in concert. I can see and feel their excitement, the thought and effort they put into their singing and performance...something i could only imagine listening to cds...and now I have images in my mind to perform the music I do listen to on cd!

+Mark Sandman was the Bill Hicks of music; an antiestablishment innovator whose very existence challenged one's beliefs and dared the listener to question all that had previously been assumed as writ; that he died well before his time is all the more tragic, but there is no denying the genius of the artist and the power with which that genius comes across in this, one of the finest albums of the decade.
+Guthrie's voice may not appeal to everyone. But it contains a drawl and an accent that speaks directly to the themes he sings about. Guthrie would not have "worked" as a swooning crooning nightingale (a similar argument stands for Bob Dylan's voice). His voice contains grit, experience, and unpolished raw personality. These aren't Broadway songs and Guthie was no Broadway singer. His songs spoke to the average person (and also to the Smithsonian Institution's Moses Asch who recorded these tracks).

Meaningful and perfectly sung lyrics, great riffs and rythym, you can truly feel the connection Skillet has as they reach out to their listeners. Comatose is to this day one of their best offerings, and for a steal of a price, ANY fans of hard rock or great music in general owes it to themselves to pick up this album. Also recommend their previous, edgier albums Collide and Alien Youth, as well as the newer Awake and Rise.

Chances are if it was an outlaw hit for Willie, Waylon, Kristofferson, Cash, or even Tom T. Hall, it was penned by Billy. In fact, Tom T. Hall said Billy was his favorite songwriter.

+Great stuff Frou Frou.
+Every track on this record is well-done, but it is the combination of all twelve that makes the album magical. From `Hark! The Herald Trumpets Sing' to `Cantique de Noel', the listener is taken on a journey that is truly a treat for the ears. The styles vary, but they are woven seamlessly into a piece of perfection. `Greensleeves' is almost medieval in sound, as is `In dulci Jubilo', though the former is quiet and the latter reminiscent of a fair. `Lo How A Rose E'er Blooming' is piece of triumph for brass instruments, while `Veni, Veni Emmanuel (O Come, O Come Emmanuel)' is performed by a men's choir in Gothic fashion. However, my favorite track is undoubtedly `Carol of the Bells', which is both rich and frenzied, previewing the style Trans-Siberian Orchestra would later make famous.

I can't seem to stop playing when I'm doing chores around the house. Can't decide which I like better. The Blu-ray remastered edition excellent sound or watching Paula Cole. she is captivating musically and visually . I had the rare chance to see Genesis back when they started out in the early 70's but unfortunately My wife was 9 months pregnant at the time and we had to leave the show due to the fact the sound system was too loud and I was in fear for my wife's & baby health. It was a shame that they had come to our city and played at a WAY TOO SMALL venue rather than at a larger arena. But maybe the other larger venue was unavailable due to our minor league Hockey schedule. That being said, Watching this at home with Blu-ray and surround system  is as pleasurable as it gets without being there. One other aspect I noticed; unlike some other concert DVDs I have watched the cameramen concentrated mostly on the artists rather the too many long boring shots of the audience. Something that seems to be a normal trend in filmed concerts( I. E. McCartney's films) since live concerts have long ago become too expense for a person like me on a fixed budget , When you get an excellent concert captured as well as this was is a true delight. ( before fans accuses me of being stingy "Cher's" final tour comes to mind- I had to pay some one 6X the cost of tickets to a scalper in NYC who bought tickets on line and where sold out in my small city (Rochester, N>Y.) only to my dismay she came back the next year for another "Final Tour" I don't write lot of reviews but felt this Blu-ray was so superior to many other music DVDs I have purchased I just had to let others know.

+1513	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Roger Waters does not muck about.  In the process of creating a rock show he simultaneously pulls off a feat of engineering and artistry right at a central historical crossroads.  Potsdamer Platz was part of no-man's land between East and West Berlin, and had to be excavated to house the enormous show.  In the course of excavations munitions were dug up, and also the bunker where Hitler met his final end.  The appropriateness of the spot, and its time in history, can only be matched by the array of artists who contribute to the show; the notoriously prickly Van Morrison and Sinead O'Conner amongst them.  Roger Waters looks quite casual, but is undoubtably in extreme focus as he orchestrates a parade of musicians offering some of their finest work, Cyndi Lauper with a cracking rendition of "Another Brick in the Wall", and Bryan Adams does a great duet with Waters on "Empty Spaces" before shredding "Young Lust."  Bringing together such a variety of performers, including a shoddy Russian marching band, Tim Curry, and Albert Finney bespeak the technical brilliance of one of the world's premier musicians.
+TOOL is a metaphor for intelligent, heavy, industrial, angst-ridden prog rock that grabs you by the scrotum, twists you around, and throws you up in the air.

With his new avant-garde wife at his side -- and enough money in the bank to last a lifetime -- Lennon set about ruining his bank value so he could return to being a 'private citizen.'  All three albums -- Two Virgins, Life With The Lions & Wedding Album -- are potent reminders of a simpler time when artists could experiment wildly (or just be very silly) and still get released and distributed (erm, somewhat).  Rykodisc nicely duplicates the original packaging and the remastered sound quality is, for 1967, pretty darn good.
+2. Hush - 10/10
+Low helped to show what a true talent Bowie is. playing almost all lead guitar, bass, arp, cellos, horns, brass strings, saxophones, harmonica, piano, and arranging everything. But he did not create this masterpiece alone he was lent all-star help from the great Brian Eno, then from Roxy Music and later Echo And The Bunnymen. Also Carlos Alomar lends help on rhythm guitar, Ricky Gardener on some guitar, George Murray on bass, Roy Young on piano, Dennis Davis on percusion, and the great Iggy Pop and Mary Visconti on backing vocals. Talk about an all-star lineup! Made after his plastic soul stint and before his techno laiden 1980's. This album really sounds as the precursor to that period in Bowie's career.
+So don't complain about how few camera angles there are, or how the same stuff keeps getting filmed.  (As one who saw this lineup from the second row one night, I can tell you that Daltrey really did do the same stuff, over and over and over.)  Focus instead on how everyone in this band plays lead - unlike the Stones, for example, who anchored firmly to a dynamic yet by comparison pedestrian rhythm section - yet everyone, somehow, stays right on time, even when somebody screws up!  (Pay attention; it happens more than once.)  Focus on the incredible energy and fluidity Townshend brings to the guitar, and the Olympic athleticism of his physical presence.  Focus - and this disk does, further evidence that this crew knew its stuff - on John Entwistle's breathtaking finger runs up and down the fretboard, and on how much he holds down the sound and plays second guitar through Pete's flights of fancy and violence.  Focus on Keith Moon!  You can't help it; the camera loves him, and he loves it back, and he shows here why he probably didn't need to so much as lift a finger between shows to keep the weight off.  Focus on Daltrey's stage presence; he was immobile compared to Mick Jagger, but knew how much to do of what when, and sang the roof off the joint.  There is enough, no, wait, way more than enough, way more than an abundance, of every single thing that made The Who great to see and hear on this DVD.  Yes, the modern monkeying with the picture and sound helped a lot.  And what the heck is wrong with that, eh?

+6041	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	While one can share a former reviewer's frustration, one should agree not to take it out on the artist or material at hand.  This is the second Procol Harum record I bought, after a high school friend turned me onto A Salty Dog, which stands, perhaps, as their masterpiece (well, along with Grand Hotel and Exotic Birds and Fruit), though they never did make a duff record (well, Something Magic...).  The playing is majestic, it also rocks very very hard, being more guitar-oriented than other PH records, and Brooker's voice--what more can possibly said about it's bell-in-the-church-steeple clarity and resonance?  Great pianist, too.  If you are a rock and roll enthusiast, then here is where I'd recommend you begin to enter Procol Harum territory, particularly if all you know is "Whiter Shade of Pale" or "Conquistador."  Then buy everything they ever recorded.  The match of Brooker's music and Keith Reid's lyrics is one of the most serendipitous occasions in the quantum universe.

+2965	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Wow!  There cannot possibly be many better ways to spend an hour than this.  Judy and Liza give, both independently and collaboratively, an incredible performance.  While this is Liza's first public stage performance with her remarkable mother, Liza takes only seconds, despite some apparent and more than understandable nervousness, to prove that she is not just Judy Garland's daughter but is in fact a fantastic singer in her own right.  While I have listened to a little bit of Liza in the past, I only did so because she was the daughter of the greatest singer to ever live.  I can now say, however, that I am a Liza fan.  The Judy Garland in this video is the Judy Garland that so many of us continue to adore, with no trace of the sadness that perpetually haunted her throughout her adult life.  She is seemingly very happy to be on stage, which is probably the only place where she was truly ever happy, and she makes everyone in her audience share in that happiness.  Obviously, she is delighted and proud to have her daughter on stage performing with her--this is clearly evident when Liza sings "Who's Sorry Now?" because the camera shows Judy sitting on the stage in front of Liza and clearly enjoying her singing.  There is a lot of interaction with the audience, as well, both between songs and sometimes even during songs.  I am one of those people who always seems to be frowning, but I smiled throughout this entire performance.  That is the magic of Judy Garland.  On pretty rare occasions, a certain song by a certain singer will give you goosebumps, and those goosebumps usually stop appearing once you have heard that special song a few times.  Judy Garland, however, gives me goosebumps on almost every song she sings; I've been a fan since 1989, and those goosebumps haven't stopped yet.

Although he plays on the album and co-wrote one track, Eno was not the producer, Tony Visconti was. Getting that out of the way, LOW is a masterpiece. Difficult to get your head around, but extremely rewarding once you do, LOW is full of atmospheric, ambient  instrumentals ( the obvious influence of Eno ) , short, punchy, rhythmic rockers ( some instrumental, some not ) and includes one of Bowie's best songs ever, "Sound and Vision", which could be seen as sort of a theme song for his entire career ( read the lyrics, and ponder....).

Anyone familiar with Carlton knows that he is ever changing and always growing as a guitarist.  Whether it's an acoustic outing such as "Alone But Never Alone" or "Minute by Minute", electric pop such as "Kid Gloves" or in combination with other greats such as Steve Lukather, you usually get something a little different and more refined with each release.  This time out, Carlton has joined with Terry McMillian and has gone in yet another direction.  McMillian is a blues harpist that has played with Neil Young, Ray Charles and Jerry Lee Lewis to name but a few.  His style is reminiscent of Little Walter or John Mayall and he blows with authority.  To ensure the proper blues flavor, Double Trouble's Chris Layton appears on drums for five of the discs eleven numbers.  All original compositions and the combination here is potent and extremely satisfying.

I am the "D.J." switching from track to track to play their favorites that they want to hear over and over again.  I am very impressed by Raffi and I recommend this particular CD to any parents or child care providers.  It's a fabulous collection of Raffi's best songs.
+Some really musically stunning pieces intermixed with some too hard, too  loud rockers. Disc One's best: "Yang Yang," "Death Of Samantha," "I Want My Love To Rest Tonight," "Have You Seen A Horizon Lately," "Approximately Infinite Universe," "Song For John," and "What A Bastard The World Is". The others I find difficult to listen to. "Death Of Samantha" is a solid piece of work that rocks on music's cutting edge. "Have You See A Horizon Lately" and "Approximately Infinite Universe" are two of Yoko's best think pieces (they are of the same calibre as what you would expect on Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon", the same darkly intellectual texture and undertones that made DSOTM a masterpiece). The contrast of track eight "Song For John" and "What A Bastard The World Is" shows the full double edge sword of their relationship. Disc Two's best: "Winter Song," Shiranakatta (I Didn't Know)," "I Have Woman Inside My Soul," "Now Or Never," "Is Winter Here To Stay?" "Looking Over From A Hotel Window". These are some of her most tender songs. Some lovely piano work. Her lyrics cut and heal with the bluntest honesty. Her struggles with life, love, marriage, and the world are articulated again and again. Bonus Tracks: interesting to hear after hearing Yoko's re-makes. I prefer the later versions but am happy to have these earlier versions.

I've had the 1995 variant and the Greatest Hits version to try to get the best Audio  but this 2004 baby trounces all that went before. Beautiful is the only word to describe it. The transfers of "Levon" gives more muscle to Barry Morgan's Drums and Brian Odger's Bass while Rick Wakeman plays Organ on "Razor Face" and that fantastic Accordion playing from Jack Emblow gets to shine too. But if I was to nail down one track that exemplifies how good the audio is  it would the Side 1 finisher and album title song  "Madman Across The Water". When Chris Spedding's Electric Guitar comes at the opening - it has a real punch and presence  as do the stunning Paul Buckmaster orchestrated strings. And as Davey Johnstone's Acoustic guitar re-surfaces  it's so clear (Diana Lewis and Rick Wakeman contribute Synth and Organ respectively on the track too).

+I wouldn't exactly call this jazz, but at the same time it's not new age either. At least, it isn't new age in the way I typically think of that genre.

The melody lines are lyrical, the rhythms robust, and the recording quality is excellent.

In stereo the Eagles Hotel California SACD seems to be tipped up in volume but sounds no better than CD. I don't like surround sound and I don't have a surround sound set up. I have a High-End Stereo setup at home and have been very disappointed lately by many of the expensive imports coming from Japan. I've found the majority of them to be bright sounding compared to their American equivalents. The one good thing I can say about this recording is that it isn't bright sounding at all. Instead it just sounds like a regular CD, nothing special, certainly not worth paying the upscale price. However I just purchased The Who's Tommy Domestic SACD and it sounds fabulous. So does the Domestic Elton John Tumbleweed Connection as well as Mad Man Across The Water. The only Japanese SACD I've heard that is great is Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on Universal Japan. It stomps all over the harsh sounding American version and is worth every penny IMHO. For comparisons sake today I played my old trusty copy of Hotel California on vinyl pressed by Mobile fidelity in the Early 1980's and it of course bettered both the SACD & CD in every area of sound, better bass, sound stage, dynamics, midrange and so on.

+9215	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	After this long, I consider this album nothing short of a major landmark in metal.  The drumming is precise and intricate, the bass is powerful, and the vocals are not only beautiful but the lyrics are often ingenius.  Adam Jones has been criticized alot for not seeming to add up as Tool's guitarist, but I think the problem is that Tool aren't interested in being a "jam" band.  They don't need guitar solos and catchy riffs, just APPROPRIATE riffs and metered excursions.  Tom Morello put it best when he said that Adam Jones is a great guitarist because he doesn't try to be- he knows how to drain all the B.S. out of the songs.

+The second half of this album is not as strong as the first, but the first seven tracks are all as good as anything they'd ever done before, so that is entirely forgiveable. There's not much wrong with any of the other songs either. Dewey Bunnell shines throughout, his "Sleeper Train" and "Whole Wide World" recalling the glory days of "Ventura Highway". He collaborates with Beckley on my two very favourite tracks though, namely "Young Moon" and the glorious "Garden Of Peace".

+The trio of "Sweet Thing", "Candidate", and the reprise of the former, all which segue into one another for a total 8:50, is the longest track (if taken collectively) Bowie's done since "Width Of A Circle."  With an out-of-tune guitar and soft piano, a sense of loneliness and isolation permeates throughout the lyrics.  Things go a bit more upbeat in "Candidate", with the and more nihilistic:  "We'll buy some drugs and watch a band, then jump in the river holding hands."  From "hope is a sweet thing", we get "love is a get-it-here thing."  This part of the song deals with how one gets power with sex.

+The album opens with I Witness, a more up beat track and a perfect way to open the album. The second song Cross of Thorns is a slower track with fantastic emotional lyrics. I've always found Tony Martin to write great lyrics and his voice just brings them to life. This track is perhaps the best on the album. The album picks up the beat again with Psychophobia with a monstrous riff by Iommi. What's interesting is Martin sounds almost like Dio sometimes on this song. Virtual Death is a much slower doomier song with an odd distortion on Martin's vocals. I wasn't too hot on this track and it's usually a skipper. Immaculate Deception is a decent heavier track right before the nice Sabbath ballad Dying for Love. I'm not sure what it is but with Iommi's guitar talents and Martin's vocals....ballads just seem to work. Good song. The last four songs are nice solid hard rockers.
+2164	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This album is definitely a lot better than the previous Sabbath albums with Tony Martin. The addition of Geezer Butler on bass seems to light a fire under Iommi's ass, because each track on the album has something to offer. The riffing is quite memorable, especially on "I Witness", "Psychophobia", "Virtual Death" and "Cardinal Sin." Geezer and Tony have a chemistry that occurs when they play together, and it is very evident on this album.

When he returned, he signed for a different record label and tried to establish a career as a country singer but met with only limited success. All the tracks that really matter pre-date his spell in the army and can be found in this magnificent compilation.
+The CD starts out very well. There is an excellent intro into a very good version of 1984. It follows with a nice version of Rebel Rebel, but the background chorus gets repeated too much. From there, things quickly go down hill. Throughout the rest of the album, there will be a string of very bad songs, with some gem stuck in the middle.
+That is, of course, just my analysis.  If it is correct, I could not agree more with Maynard James Keenan.
+The interview following the concert is more illuminating, as I found out more about Sarah.  She is indeed a romantic by nature, always seeing the positive side of things; that makes her an Idealist.  It doesn't take much to please her, but she is self-critical, and that's the Artisan part of her.  What a lovely personality!  And she is right on the mark when trying to sing songs in their original language.  It's akin to losing the essence of the language in foreign movies subtitled in English. Thank you, thank you, for not doing "Time To Say Goodbye" in English and doing it in that rich, fluid Italian.
+"The First Time I Met the Blues", which also opens up the film "Lightning In A Bottle" which had an version of this tune, was one of the great tunes from Buddy's famous Vangard recording in the 1960s. It was originally a tune by the great Blues Pianist Little Brother Montgomery. The set ends with "Let Me Love You Baby" a strong Wille Dixon tune and an ode to Chess Records where Buddy was a session guitarist. The set is good. This DVD is interesting and historical.

+But, even a Pink Floyd show slightly tainted is still miles above most other bands', so this still gets 5 stars (though Amazon will only let me give it 4 for some reason).  You also get bonus features like the screen films used in the show (and some not used), music videos (including the most commonly-seen version of "Learning To Fly", though it doesn't include the rare "first" version MTV used to show), and great sound.  So though it's a shame this edition could have been 100% perfect, the 95% perfection we ended up with is still an incredible bargain.  This is the best DVD available of a Pink Floyd show.

+Of these, the ... release is notably inferior in its sound quality to the other two. Both the JVC and the Fantasy "50th Anniversary Edition" were given a 20-bit remastering using JVC's 'K2 Super Coding System'. Whether it was the technical factors of the K2 system or simply a gifted recording engineer that made the difference is impossible to know without hearing the original master tapes, but the end result is that the other releases sound notably better.

Rhino's similarly titled single-disc retrospective checks in with eight fewer cuts, and the revitalized Brunswick's 2002 collection ("20 Greatest Hits") with four less. Masters are a mix of mono (1-3, 7, 9, 11-12, 15-16) and stereo (4-6, 8, 10, 13-14, 17-24). Those who want a more extensive catalog of Wilson's career (including a look at his earliest work with Billy Ward & The Dominoes, and a deeper helping of his early '70s soul sides) should look for a copy of Rhino's out-of-print 3-CD "Mr. Excitement," but most will be perfectly satisfied by this collection.

+It seems that Bernie Taupin's lyrics had religious references scattered throughout many of the tracks.  There are references to God, Lord, or Jesus on six tracks on this collection.

+7671	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	From a fellow guitarist's perspective, this album is a masterpiece.  The well-placed silence between mesmerizing, shimmering guitar licks is deafening.  Otis is masterful at telling a story or setting a mood with the confluence of his anguished singing, espressive guitar-playing, and impeccable timing.  What sets him apart from other, perhaps flashier, guitarists, is the patience he shows while telling a story---i.e., the spaces between guitar playing, the patience in holding a note.  His phrasing on the guitar is simply hypnotic.  One of his secrets is that he puts on a silky-smooth vibrato while deftly bending the string---a difficult task for many.

+Denny Laine takes his first lead vocals on the album with "The Note You Never Wrote", a slow, sour synth-driven ballad that is as memorable as it is consequential, which is to say, not at all. This is one of the album's weaker tracks. "She's My Baby" is an OK tune; it has a late-era Steely Dan feel, only sung by Billy Joel and lyrics by Kenny Loggins. Something that you might hear waiting in line at the bank. In 1977. Pleasant enough, but nothing more. "Beware My Love" reminds me of something the Little River Band might have done as an outtake. Take that as you will. ("Cool Change" was a good song though, wasn't it?) It's repetitive and droning until you hit the tempo change roughly 1:40 into it, and it segues into kind of Abba-like territory. It never really gets any better than mediocre.

First, "Ramon" was Paul's pseudonym when he wanted to play uncredited on other people's albums, so he is addressing himself when he sings, "Ram on, give your heart to somebody...."  Finally, Linda gets cowriting credit on several songs.  John got angry and sued Paul, claiming that this was an attempt to slip around a contractual clause that required Paul to pay a portion of his songwriting proceeds to John.  After all, if Paul was only the co-songwriter, then John's financial compensation was split in half.  In fact, "Ram" got John angry in many ways.  "Too Many People" was, in its own convoluted way, a dig against John, and John also thought that  "Dear Boy" and maybe "3 Legs" were aimed against him too, but the lyrics of the last song are so strange it is hard to know.  John got his revenge against Paul on the album "Imagine" with "How Do You Sleep at Night?", a direct verbal assault against Paul.

Evgeny Kissin, now in his thirties, is the most notable exception. His is an ability that is beyond his years. We're talking about someone who was humming classical music he heard at the age of 11 months and playing the piano with ten fingers at 18 months. Couple his talents with a very modest personality, and you have a rare artist indeed. Kissin has it all, technique to burn, a huge repertoire, and a wide range of musical interests. The highlight of the film is the extensive coverage of Kissin's 1997 BBC Proms concert, which broke all records, the audience having called Kissin back for the longest string of encores in the history of the famous concert series. Kissin plays all the encores in full. Some of the pieces are Beethoven's Rage Over the Lost Penny, 2 Chopin Waltzes and Liszt's La Campanella among others.

+Pushit: This song is pretty long. It starts out simple, then really cranks into gear when the band starts jamming. Vocals at the end are great, almost poppy sounding.

+3427	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	Supernaturual is more of a Carlos Santana then a Santana album since it includes none of the orignial members of Santana except for Carlos Sanatana. The music on here is pretty good but it just doesent have the same sound as from there first three albums, plus why the heck does it include guest vocals from Dave Matthews and Everlast?, What was Carlos Santana thinking because there vocals bassicly ruined the songs they sung on. The albums moods range from jazzy, latin rock, and latin pop. Songs like, "Maria Maria", are horrible and don't even sound like Santana also songs like, "Do You Like The Way", "African Bamba", and "Smooth", just are latin pop songs that do not deserve a place on a Santana album. I still don't get why so many people say this one of the best Santana albums whereas in my opinion its not really that good at all. Yet this album does hold up some gems like, "(Da Le) Yaleo" but thats about it. So if you want to pick up some real Santana pick up there first three albums.
+In my opinion, "Madman Across the Water" is his best. Recorded in 1971, it contains some of the most soulful songs Elton John and Bernie Taupin ever created.

I love this album and as I grow older, I like it even more. I first got into Leon Russell when he was doing the Bonnie and Delaney and Joe Cocker thing...then he came out with this, his first album and I snatched it up. The list of musicians who appear on this album reads like a who's who of 1969 rock...it quickly became a favorite: I bet I've listen to this album over 1000 times...it is ageless. Honestly, there is just no getting tired of this album; it's that good. Great songs: "A Song for you" brings a tear; a beautiful love song that has just enough Russell grit and soul to appeal to an old male rocker like myself! "Hummingbird" same thing...then mix in rockers like "Delta Lady", "Put a Spell on You", "Hurtsome Body" (my favorite), and geez...all the others! It is just a great, great album...I know I always do these rave reviews and give 5 star ratings, but it is because these are albums that I have loved for 35 years and will always have them around in one "medium" or another....This, however, is my favorite of favorites!

+8671	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	David Bowie thinks that Diamond Dogs is his worst album, but I must disagree. As a musician, I'm sure he has different expectations of himself and how the album fits together. The album doesn't really fit together that  good at all. It was supposed to be a rock opera based on my personal  favorite book, 1984 by George Orwell, but he was denied the rights and so  we're left with Diamond Dogs...  "Future Legend" is a one  minute narration done by Bowie and it sets the atmosphere for this album,  but what exactly is the atmosphere in this album?  "Diamond  Dogs" is a great song, but it sounds a little like a sloppy,  slowed-down version of "Watch That Man" from Aladdin Sane.  "Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (reprise)" is without a doubt  the best part of this cd. The songs are very coherent and dramatic which  makes them the most uniquely Bowie part of the album. Really great songs  here.  "Rebel Rebel" is the most well known and the biggest  hit on here. This is the song that made Diamond Dogs the first David Bowie  album to break the top 10 in America. A simple, yet great guitar part..  "Rock n Roll With Me" is a simple yet corny ballad, but I still  like it despite its hokey-ness.  Besides the "Sweet Thing,  Candidate" stuff, my other favorite song on here is "We Are The  Dead". It's the first song on the cd to be influenced by the great  1984 novel and what a song it is...The keyboards really shine through here  along with the great lyrics and  David's weak, yet moving vocals.  "1984" is a catchy, fun little song (inspired by the book, of  course).  "Big Brother" is another incredible and catchy  song. This one will really get stuck in your head. It has a great trumpet  solo and it leads right into...  "Chant of the Ever-Circling  Skeletal Family" is probably the WEIRDEST songs Bowie has ever  released, but it's a fun and short song with good guitars.  Diamond  Dogs is a cd that may not stay in your cd player for very long, but it will  keep coming back in there and you'll realize what a great cd it is.
+The only problem I could really see with this album is the lack of varied subject matter. For example, there are FOUR kick-your-man-to-the-curb songs ("Foolin' Around", "Am I Wasting My Time", "Movin' On" and "Good Thing"). Still, this album is a very good listen. Way to go, ladies!

+9216	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Now listen, I like this band, and this album, but I'm really getting tired of hearing people say that this band is God.  I enjoy it, make no mistake, but I'm afraid I'm just not hearing the Godliness.  "The Mozart of Metal"?  Come on!  How much Mozart have you actually listened to?  The drummer and bassist are both very talented (though neither of them are anywhere near the best), but Adam Jones is an atrocious guitarist.  He rarely writes any interesting riffs, and the solos aren't much better than that of Godsmack.  I really think he's holding them back.  They need to replace him with someone like James Murphy or Andy LaRoque, then you'd really have something.  Maynard has a cool voice, but there are FAR better vocalists.  The "intelligent lyrics" are mostly just drug-induced ramblings and Bill Hicks bits.  I'm reminded of what that guy in "Almost Famous" said about Jim Morrison, "a drunken buffoon disguised as a poet".  Compared to the mighty Dream Theater, Tool is pretty much nothing.  They are far superior musicians, and write lyrics that actually ARE intelligent and poetic.  You need only to listen to their masterpiece "Scenes from a Memory" to know what I'm talking about.  Tool is not a bad band, in fact they're far from it, but God they are not.

+David Gilmour has, without doubt, the best voice out of the four band members. And what an amazing voice! Do you honestly think that if he didn't have the incredible voice he has the controll-freak of a certain Mr Waters would have even allowed the man to sing? Richard Wright too has a better voice, so please! Waters can't sing, he can write. On his solo-albums he more speaks than sings anyway, and it works on those. But imagine him sing lead on "Wish you were here" (as an example). I don't think so... But none of that really matters, after Syd the band was blessed with David -and look what happened! Is this band a big failure? As with other more open-minded music-loving revieweres has tried in vein, well, I get in line; Leave Pink Floyd alone, get over it!

+642	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	In music history, there are always those one albums that stand the test of time. Albums that are mentioned and referenced too for years and will be for decades to come. Albums where you can recite every single song on the whole thing. Albums that should of been mandatory listening to everyone and should of been issued to everyone as part of a law. Okay, so maybe that last part is stretching it. "Born In The U.S.A." is definitley one of those special albums. When it hit the streets in 1984, it exploded like a hurricane and pretty much defined the 80's stadium, chest thumping, blue collar rock for the time. The fact that it was Bruce's most commercial and radio friendly release to date didn't really matter much because the writing and singing and performing was still all Bruce and the brilliance of the E Street Band. The album is unfairly criticized for being too "poppish". It just goes to show you how some people just don't understand things. The album is just as clever and strongly written as any of his more serious a;bums. But because it has a certain sound, then it can't be as good. Geez. Some people don't understand music!. The album is one of the most consistent rock albums that has a straight line from the first opening drum beats of "Born In The U.S.A.", to the final eloquent and haunting sounds of "My Hometown". Not surprisingly, this was Bruce's most successful studio album, and one of his most consistent rocking albums. Slower tracks are few on this set, the only ones being the gorgeous "I'm On Fire", which is probably one of the best songs he's done, "Downbound Train", and the already mentioned album closer, "My Hometown". This album spawned 7 top ten hits. The title track hit no #9, "I'm On Fire" peaked at #6, "My Hometown" also hit #6, while four other songs, the classic "Dancing In The Dark" at #2, the glorious "Glory Days" at #5, "I'm Goin' Down" at #9, and the rollicking "Cover Me", at #7. The best material just doesn't consist of these famous hit tunes of the album. Everything else here is of top quality and material. "Working On The Highway" has an insanely catchy tune that makes it sound reminiscent of 50's rock and roll. Something by Eddie Cochran, perhaps?. A tune that celebrates the work of the common man working on the streets and keeping them up. "No Surrender", "Darligton County" and "Bobby Jean" are all strong Bruce efforts that fill out the album nicely. What's funny is how people have thought the title tune to be a ptriotic song about the U.S.A. In fact, the song is about Vietnam Vets and how the government and country have forgotten them. The entire album gave Bruce the worldwide acclaim and success that he deserved. Not that he didn't already have fame and successful records and hit singles, because he did, but this release just took it to the next level that he and the band rightfully deserved. The music on this album is some of the purest down home American rock that has been done. Bruce's writing on here showcases some of the finest of his career, and showcases the finest rock/pop compositions in the genre. This is one of those albums that will live forever, and if you don't have it, then what are you waiting for?!.
+Interestingly, I think Sabbath's reputation exceeds them. My parents never objected to this music and I don't find it threatening at all. Is it me or do the lyrics sound kind of Christian? I might have thought they were a Christian band if I didn't know better.

+Thing is, the Sex Pistols were greater than even McLaren  could have ever imagined. Compare the cheesy, corny sequences, many with  McLaren, to those in which Johnny Rotten is on-screen: Rotten's intent is  so gleefully mad, so mesmerizing and ferocious, that it completely  undercuts Malcolm's prancing about, his art-school theories, and his  impresario pretensions. Watching Johnny, Sid, Steve and Paul in rehearsal  (singing "No Feelings") or in a "video" ("God Save  the Queen" and "Pretty Vacant") or live on-stage in Dallas  and San Francisco (their last ever gig) is a real thrill--equal parts  subversion (Johnny) and stupidity (Sid).

+Some of the original tunes have the most impact today - When I was Young, San Francisco Nights, and Sky Pilot all make me wish they had done more original tunes.
+I just previewed the entire album for this review and I am convinced that "Cross Purposes" is a mid-'90s metal masterpiece.  There is not one weak track to be found here, with many of the songs being absolute classics, not the least of which is opener "I Witness," which slowly builds up to a crescendo of Tony Iommi's magnificent riffing, Geezer Butler's essential bass work and Martin's unforgettable vocal refrains.  Iommi's most powerful riff on the album though may belong to "Back to Eden," as it has a classic structure that stands up to any songs of Sabbath past. The reason I say that Martin may be the focal point of the album though is that my absolute favorite song here is the breathtakingly beautiful power ballad "Dying for Love," which is a showcase for Tony's unforgettable vocal harmonies.  In airing this song again just now I literally got chills running up and down my spine, now you know a song is a masterpiece when it can achieve that kind of emotional reaction in the listener.

+This is certainly a great experimental rock record in my opinion overall, and if you liked the three albums Bowie released before it, give Lodger a try. His vocals on this album are some of his best, not just on "Fantastic Voyage"; for those alone, this album would be worth checking out, but the songs are all of subjectively high quality. Pay attention to the music, let it grow on you, then judge it - it's not easy to rate after just one listen. Highly recommended!

+As far as flaws, I can't think of any.  Sure, KRS gets political, so obviously it's going to rub some people the wrong way (like most political stances do), but I loved it and saw nothing wrong with it.

Having composed, or co-written, each of the 11 tracks and singing on at least 7, David Bowie is hardly absent.  The sheer beauty of this record belies any alarm, even when Bowie "post-punks" it out on the short tracks of the first half, exposing himself more than any listener, and hence, inoffensive yet stunning.  There is a haunting beauty and yet a bleakness to the tone of this record, coupled with a deep and gorgeous humanity within a foreboding futuristic urban-scape, wracked with anxiety, decay and hope.  Post modern, indeed, LOW is the first commercially viable Post Modern statement (if there is such a thing.)

That's fine with me, especially in the classics like "Tunnel of Love," and especially the crowning achievement "Telegraph Road." The strength of the band is critical to achieve the sound Knopfler demands, and "Telegraph Road" better illustrates the strong, yet subtle, interplay of all instruments in a Dire Straits live set than any other song (Terry Williams' drumming is particularly strong during this performance.)

Those great pop hooks & bitter turns of phrase are there, but here he deliberately keeps things as ugly as possible. Playing almost in mockery of stuff like "Oliver's Army". It's the sonic equivalent of burning oneself in effigy. Smothered in decidedly claustrophobic production, the whole album sounds like a bar brawl in a broom closet.

+The Dance concert is amazing from start to finish.  There's not a dud in the entire set, although naturally some songs are better than others. (Stevie's Sweet Girl, for instance, while pleasant enough, sounds like a cast-off from her solo albums, and it may very well have been just that.) A few comments:
+"Indian Sunset": This is a lyrical and musical masterpiece.  This is definitely not a pop song.  It is a song that discusses the tribulations of the American Indian.  The music also has an "Indian" sound to it..  Taupin uses tribe (Iroqiois and Sioux) names in this song.  This track switches gears several times and that is its strength. Elton delivers passionate vocals.  There is a religious reference in "Take What is mind Lord.."  There is also a slight pause about 2:20 into the song.
+ Interview with David Gahan and Martin Gore. Very good and funny. It includes outtakes from " Enjoy The Silence" and "Personal Jesus".
+790	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Its been over a year since Contraband was released.  And almost exactly a year since I bought it.  I was , at first somewhat sketchy about this album.  I'd been a Guns n' Roses fan for awhile but had never owned a Stone Temple Pilots album.  I was also, at the time, beginning to believe that modern rock was stuck in a stagnant sea of pathetic ballads and wanna be punk posers.  Contraband is true rock.  The kind of true rock the 80s was made of.  Its hard and heavy but still holds a very modern vibe and some echoes of the 90s grunge scene.  It is because of this record that I now own every STP album and Scott Weiland's solo record. (all of which are quite excellent).  Contraband basically lived in my cd player from july 2004 through September.  Its longevity and immense perfect have maintained it in my mind as being the best rock album of the new millennium and my favourite hard rock record of all time!
+Madman carries the same musical torch that was lit by "Tumbleweed Conection", but is more focused. His piano playing never sounded more inspired than here. The production by Gus Dudgeon is flawless, even by today's digital standards. Bernie Taupin was also at his best as a lyricist here. Nowadays, I don't listen to Elton a whole lot, but when I do, it's usually this album in it's entirety as I don't find one track to be the least bit weak. From an artistic standpoint, Elton and Bernie must be very proud of this work.

+Contrary to the implication of their name, the Anonymous 4 are not anonymous. This is a vocal quartet made up of Ruth Cunningham, Marsha Genensky, Susan Hellauer, and Johanna Rose at the time of this recording (Ruth Cunningham will later go on to a solo career early, and another member will join - Jacqueline Horner). They came together as a formal group in 1986, and have been ensemble-in-residence at St. Michael's Church in New York City, giving concert series in New York as well as throughout North America. They have been featured a number of times on national media in North America as well as Germany. They then went on to yet more success, eventually performing more that 1000 concerts worldwide.

I hated it!  The best concept here is Human Behavior which has a certain Bjrk-like darkness to it but is still too cutesy and makes little sense, but then that's what this song is all about, There is no logic to human behavior.

+8916	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Not necessarily the best of the Bowie albums, but this can easily be the wierdest of the Bowie/Eno albums. (Right up there with the great "Heroes", but "Low" is great as well, so, who can  choose?) Numerous unconventional styles-both musical & lyrical-are  afoot here like the first two. Lodger starts out with "Fantastic  Voyage", which talks little about it's title, more likely about being  tired of being unhappy and going on an adventure to get happy.  "African Night Flight" is probably the most bizzare, out-there  song you will ever here from Bowie's factory- it has him talking  uncontrolably fast about a nonstop trek through the mysterious jungles of  Africa, featuring authentic drum beat music and irresistible cricket-synth  sounds in the background. Here are some of the sampled lyrics from it: 'On  a good day, I could fly/Into the eye of God on high/His burning eye will  see me through/One of these days, One of these days, Gotta get a word  through one of these days'. The song also features some African chanting.  "Yassasin" is also one of the particularly more odd numbers,  sounding like Arabian Night style music and featuring a chorus that goes  like this: 'Yassasin/I'm not a moody guy/Yassasin/I walk without a  sound/Yassasin/Just a man, No judge of men'. "Red Sails" sounds  like a song you might here on a GET RICH QUiCK infomercial over top of the  moronic boat scenery. Nonetheless, it is still an offbeat tale to include  in the trilogy. The two singles from Lodger-"D.J." and "Boys  Keep Swinging"- are decent, but no where near the best songs on the  album. Personally, they seem more 'catchy tune' equipped. DJ has 'I am the  DJ/I am what I play' and Boys Keep Swinging has 'Boys/Boys/Boys/Boys Keep  Swinging'. "Look Back In Anger" is a great one about a fallen  angel who is tired of his words & himself being overlooked by people.  'Repetition' follows no particular beat in it's lyrics about an abused  woman. 'Red Money' is a little catchy, and-like other songs-is little about  it's title. The lyrics are actually quite miscellaneous: "Can you feel  it in the way/That a man is not a man?/Project Canceled/Tumbling  Central/Red Money'etc. Because of Lodger's straight-forward bizzareness, I  highly recommend it, but only second to 'Heroes',the best of the Bowie/Eno  albums.

+Ram is Paul and Linda, naked and fun, full of love and full of life.  It's a magical musical in-no-sense-nonsense experience.  You can try all you want to glean jabs at John from Too Many People, Dear Boy, Back Seat Of My Car, etc. but the plain and simple truth is the album was a romper room fun play in the sandbox for Sir and Lady Macca.  The run-together medley style of Abbey Road with no progression of thought but total randomness is artistic enough for me.  The songs are gut-friendly giddiness that hadn't been seen since side one of Yellow Submarine.  Paul can only be admired for including his wife, his partner in life, into his music and I call shame upon all the critics who reviled him for it.  Sure she wasn't an impresario at music, but she sure had fun doing it, didn't she.  Years later, critics would fall all over themselves for the punk rock movement hailed for it's virtue of minimalism and barely talented efforts at making music "a statement".  The B-52's admitted they didn't even know how to play their instruments when they went into the studio to record their debut album, but dig that organ and rhythm intro to Planet Claire!

+2975	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	Those of you, like myself, who are familiar with the marvelous audio recording of this series of concerts are in for a shock. This film (recorded, presumably, at a later performance) shows neither Judy Garland nor Liza Minnelli at her best.  Garland's voice is raw, and she knows it, referring repeatedly to how badly she's singing.  At one point Minnelli asks her, "How can I follow [that performance]?"  To which Garland replies, "By hitting better notes."  She forgets lyrics, but not in the fun way that she does on the Carnegie Hall recording; this is drunken, distracted behavior.  "Over the Rainbow," when it finally comes, is heartbreaking -- and for all the wrong reasons.  Unfortunately, Minnelli doesn't fare much better.  She's such a young, nebulous talent at this point, one can almost forgive her lack of focus and professionalism.  But she pretty much yells every number, nepotism run amok.  (It really makes you appreciate the sheer brilliance of "Liza With a Z.")  The audience laps it up with rabid, undiscerning enthusiasm; perhaps they were just so happy that either woman had bothered to show up at all.  Given the option of watching this concert over again or the extraordinary DVDs from Garland's television series, I'll go with the latter every time.

+8099	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This wonderfully sublime album comes from Roach's "atmospheric ambient" period of the late 1980s that produced 'Dreamtime Return' and 'Desert Solitaire,' among other works.  There is a good deal of the Southwest outdoors that Roach loves on this work, and the pieces breathe with the same kind of expansiveness and natural harmony that made 'Dreamtime' such a success.  The original release of 'Western Spaces' in 1987 included works by Richard Burmer; these are deleted in the 1990 Fortuna version.  This is truly too bad, because one of those pieces is "Across the View," Burmer's signature work and one of the few ambient compositions yet produced that justly deserves the tag "masterpiece."  Even without it, however, this one is well worth the listen.

And indeed, one of the reasons this album is so extraordinary is Quine's absolutely blistering guitar work (though ex-Television guitarist Richard Lloyd plays lead on the equally blistering "Divine Intervention"), which contrasts magnificently with Sweet's superb songs.  Without Quine, however, the songs might be a bit too sweet (bad pun intended), a fault of some of his other albums.  But without the great songs, there would be nothing for Quine to play against.

+9799	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Bowie's main musical inspirations when entering the studio, I would assume, would have been Kraftwerks first few records and the ambient electronica of Brian Eno, who collaborated on some tracks here. It was a whole new direction for Bowie - his old rock star idol days had been wearing away since Station To Station, so now he was pioneering a new phase in music. Low was a huge influence on post-punk and electronica. Joy Division took their original name, Warsaw, from a track off this record. Kraftwerk name-checked Bowie on their next record, 'Trans-Europe Express'. Low is fantastic. Every track conjures wonderful images in the mind. I love the instrumentals - they are just perfect. Warswaza could have been the work of a great 18th century composer. Art Decade is just wonderful. There are great pop moments, like Be My Wife and Sound And Vision. Speed Of Life sounds exactly like you imagine it would. So, what Bowie did, was transmit waves of imagination into real sound with great class. No record collection is complete without Low, a landmark moment that helped revolutionise pop and rock in general, and paved the way for a lot of bands who made it big in the 80's. If you like this, check out its follow-up 'Heroes', which has a similiar sound, and Iggy Pop's 'The Idiot' which Bowie composed a lot of music for and is another landmark record of that time.

Also, having seen U2 twice on the 1992-1993 tour, once in the early 1992 indoors and once 6 months later outdoors, I can say that the mindblowing ZooTV tour got better when it went outdoors - more screens, more Tribants, more content, and more songs.  This show is one of the last on the tour, and unlike the U.S. shows, features tracks from 'Zooropa' (1993).  By the end of the tour, the set, the lights, and the images had been even better constructed than any U2 show has ever been - the barrage of video sayings accompanying "The Fly", the appropriation of the handicam in "Even Better Than the Real Thing", the live belly-dancer during "Mysterious Ways", the junkie pantomime on "Running to Stand Still", the uniforms on "Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car", and the final dance during "Love Is Blindness".  And nowhere is the line between U2 in the 1980s and U2 in the 1990s so symbolically portrayed as when Bono-as-MacPhisto removes his devil's horns as the techno-drenched "Lemon" fades into a minimalist interpretion of "With or Without You".

And it gets her and live mixer Leila Arab out of a pickle when the programming for "Enjoy" is bungled; the formerly aggressive, dark song (co-produced by Tricky) turns into a colder, more menacing piece, thanks to the stripped bear ambience of the sounds emmitting from Arab's mixing desk and Bjork's illuminatory vocals.

+9396	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This might well be Frank's greatest live album, and he has more live albums than most groups have albums.(I just counted them-about 20). It is very similar to that great album you can't do that on stage anymore vol2. The band features his funkiest line up. we have the funkmeister George Duke, we have Ruthie, the fowler bros.,jeff simmons,we have TWO  drummers Ralph Humphrey and Chester Thomson. Don Preston is on this album too. And of course Napolean Murphy Brock, i almost forgot him. With these guys, how could it NOT be a great album? It begins with a great twisted song penguin in bondage. zappa gives some funny intros to some of the songs, and he does so with this song, talking about 'deVICES!!' and the like. Great guitar solo here . Pygmy twilight is a nice short little song about drugs i think. It's good but you should really get your hands on ycdtosa vol2 version which will blow your socks off man! A nice version of 'village of the sun' leads into the funny 'dummy up' with Jeff Simmons showing that you can be a pothead and play in frank's band. Then the awesome echidnas arf/ don't you ever wash that thing instrumental. The first one is a beautiful tune, one of Frank's best (also very tricky!). The second is also lovely but there is more room for soloing. We get great music from bruce fowler on trombone, george on keyboards, and the drummers with an amazing drum duel. And Frank delivers a short funky helluvah solo. Cheepnis has a hilarious intro by Frank-'twisting her ankle, on behalf of the Ice Cream Cone'. A great song about the cheapie monster movies. Then we get some oldies, ie More trouble every day and son of orange county. And just in case we forgot, zappa reminds us why he's the greatest guitar player with his soloing. Then bebop tango, my personal highlight. It's a difficult enough tune to get into, but so are a lot of great pieces. I love it when Frank says ' And this is a hard one to play'. It's such an unpredictable piece of music to listen to. So i kept on listening and eventually it made sense. And Bruce Fowler Great Trombone Solo #2!! There is also an extended audience participation which is the complete opposite of the tenacious discipline of the instrumental. fz delivers his quote ' jazz isn't dead it just smells funny'. Frank gets some fans to dance to George Duke's singing and ridicules their pathetic efforts 'no, no, you're just too reserved!' and praises the good dancing 'now THAT'S more like it!'. I love it when he says to them ' go back to your seats, and we'll bring up the next batch'. Sort of like sheep shearing! George then gets funky and we say good night, sadly the gig is over but only until i press the play button again. If you liked this, get ycdtosa vol2. Thank you.

+Fagen and  Becker have done an excellent job of selecting musicians who are  disciplined in the right way--avoiding superfluous, cliched gestures while  maintaining a controlled looseness and vitality.  The rhythm section is  fluid, the horns tight (and able to contribute worthy solos when called  upon), and the backing vocalists able to provide added textures behind  Fagen's pleasantly raspy lead vocals.

+What's missing on this disk is Roger Waters. If you can't have Pink Floyd without Waters, then perhaps you'll want to pass on this one.

+Best track here for my money is "Got a Match?" as Chick Corea's multilayered keyboards soar over a solid walking bass line from John Patitucci. On "Sidewalk" it's probably Corea's Fairlight synth that gives the insistent bass pulse. "City Gate" isn't so much a separate song as it's the quiet prelude to "Rumble". It's aptly named...suggesting a street brawl rather than a Jets and Sharks Broadway-style dance fight. "Elektric City" resembles a theme song for a long-lost 80s cop show pilot. "King Cockroach" starts with interesting shifting percussion from Dave Weckl and also features frenetic Corea soloing. Weckl also is key to closer "Silver Temple" as his nimble cymbal work sets the pace before the track segues into more of a Scott Henderson guitar workout later on.

I remember driving to California from Texas with my parents and this song came on the Western radio stations long before it reached Dallas.  We heard it constantly on the radio.

Production is good for a 1994 release, and mainly because it's done by Erick Sermon (he gets help from Rod Kirkpatrick and one song Busta Rhyumes co-produces) and Redman does 1 as well.

+3472	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I really enjoy this album. I have been a fan of Santana for a long time and have a few of the early albums. This is, to say the least, a bit of a departure from Santana's early stuff, although there is still plenty of Carlos' wonderful guitar playing to satisfy old fans. Yes, this album was geared somewhat to the younger generation, in the use of top r&b and rock vocalists like Dave Matthews, Rob Thomas, Everlast, Lauryn Hill and Eagle-Eye Cherry, but there is nothing wrong with that. I know a few young people, who, after hearing this album, purchased some of Santana's earlier albums. This is an album that works, and for all the good reasons. The songs are all good, and there's plenty of variety. It deserved the Grammy for sure. Recommended.
+The bonus materials (like on all David Gilmore produced projects) were quite extensive. We get all of the concert screen films including alternate versions, a segment called Bootlegging the Bootleggers featuring four more performances, videos of two songs, maps and stage art, a making of documentary and and the induction of the band into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame by Billy Corgan.
+This is a very beautiful performance. The title track, "Grand Wazoo (not to be confused with the other 'Grand Wazoo' from "The Lost Episodes," a monologue delivered by Don Vleit with synclavier accompaniment)" is a swinging blues/jazz fusion piece with electronically treated electric guitar and dark, brooding horn arrangements, very ominous, but still nice. "For Calvin" is another taste of the bizarre, it has a dream-like quality, rambling sound, but still organized. "Cletus Awreetus-Alrightus" is just playful, tack piano, with its "La-La-La" lyrics and horn solos by Ernie Watts, from Johnny Carson's Tonight Show Orchestra. Somewhat silly, but very entertaining, nonetheless.

+A beautiful picture is drawn of the band's creative process through old footage shot in the studio during the recording of both albums, on the road while on tour, and rare footage from their early days in San Francisco. Interviews with Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Robert Hunter and others fill-in the gaps of a unique period in the band's history. Produced after Garcia's death, some interviews become emotional. Jerry does appear many times through earlier interview footage.
+PS: Yet, my maid once told my daughter that she does like classcial singing ( Renee, Price, Sutherland... whatever). She said the way they sing is not natural, even if not awful. Her favourite would be George Harrison, one of the Beatles. I don't argue with her: there was a time when I shut myself away from classical singing altogether, particuarly the female singers. But I advised my daughter to take note of the powerfulness of communication and the emotional depth of the classical singing... Nonetheless, I reckon that classical music lovers around the world totalled about 5% of the population or even less, and very soon the future audience will find even the most modern singers awful, particularly in view of the fact that cultivating the passion for classical singing takes years, if not generations. But there got to be something that is more intransient if not really eternal and that got to be the classics, the real classics.

I was actually disappointed with King of America (it has improved with age, like  a fine wine), so I saw this as an obvious attempt to return to the  fantastic form of his pre-Punch the Clock days. As I listened, I was so let  down. I thought this album was a noisy mess with weak songs. As time  passed, I thought perhaps I'd been subverted by my own high expectations,  so I bought the Ryko reissue and gave it another chance. Well, my opinion  hasn't changed. It's still a struggle to listen to this album, possibly  even more so as my ears have aged and the mid-range heavy production grates  more than ever.

Most of the debate has been on the early songs, and "We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place" in particular. This IS the US version of that song (with the lyric "My Little Girl You're So Young and Pretty"). All of the other early singles check out pretty much right in line with the times on the original MGM label 45 rpm records, with one (good) exception: "House of the Rising Sun." This CD is an ABKCO release, and they also re-released most (if not all) of the early Animals 45's sometime in the 70's or 80's on light blue abkco labels. "House of the Rising Sun" came back there as the UK single version (4:18) with the long organ solo and ending intact (House also charted two additional times in the UK in 1972 and 1982). The original US MGM single (K13264) and radio play version chopped out most of the organ solo plus faded out the end before the final verse for a total time of 2:58. The playing time of 'House' on this CD is 4:31 (the song is exact, the 45 rpm disc just tracks 13 seconds faster). I think most fans prefer the "full length" version as presented here, but for the adamant (US) original singles collector, you now know.

+And to clarify, Skillet *are* a Christian band, not just some "positive message" band. Granted, the songs on Comatose are full of positive messages that just about anyone can enjoy and find meaning in, and while they may not make explicit mention of Jesus Christ it is easy to tell that He is what they are referring to if you read the lyrics. For example, in "Rebirthing" John sings "Rebirthing now, I wanna live for love wanna live for you and me...rebirthing now, I wanna live my life wanna give you everything." Lyrically, this particular song is about the change that occurs in one's life when he/she gives it over to Christ. Furthermore, the band gives thanks to God, their "Savior and sustainer," in the liner notes and "Looking For Angels" makes clear references to the Bible's call to "pray for your enemies and humble yourself." What more proof of this band's spirituality do you guys need?

The musicianship is on a quite high level and Weckl's drumming is as always very intricate and melodious.

The lyrics may be a problem for some, especially the songs that go into religion but I don't think that Maynard intended for the songs to be sacreligious in the way Marilyn Manson does, just to shock. I believe these are his true feelings towards organized religion and the matyrdom of Jesus. There is no band out today that has more of my respect then Tool does.

Of course, the visual compliment completes the  story. With acclaimed directors like Michael Gondry and Spike Jones, Bjork  further brings her singles to life, literally. Each video, beautifully shot  and poigant, tells a tale. Whether aided with hi-tech special effects or  unaided with just the youthful face of Bjork, her videos are excellent and  visionary in every aspect! Only Madonna falls in the same league as Bjork.  And I wonder why she was never nominated in the Short-Form Music Video  category at the Grammys. Anyway the Grammys recognises commercial success,  so how would an alternative artist be awarded? And Bjork dun need one!

The music is all original, written by Yanni and played by a proffessional symphony orchestra. The setting is in both India's Taj Mahal and the Forbidden City in China. It was the first live concert ever played in the two settings, and there was a lot of red tape that the producers had to go through in order to get the authority to play in front of these monuments.
+1608	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I think 'Sultans of Swing' was one of the very first songs I recorded for myself off the radio back in the 70's!  My dad had a couple of reel to reel rigs, one of which had a slot in the side for recording onto 8 tracks!  So I sat there listening to the radio until I heard the DJ announce it...  These days my tastes are a long way from that top 40 station, as is the technology for listening and recording.  I don't really understand why more music isn't being released on the high quality mediums available these days.  Yes it's not portable, so what?  MP3s honestly sound like crap and unless I'm exercising I want to hear better!  HQCD, SACD, XRCD all follow DVD-audio, and Blu-Ray which sound amazing on a killer surround sound system.  But I'm sad that so little music is available on all these formats.  If nothing else the greedheads in the record industry should salivate at the bottom line, since it's such a pain in the b#tt to copy a blu-ray disk.
+It is a fantastic approximation, and a perfect imitation.  Sleeping through this album, with all due respect to other reviewers, is simply not possible.
+This is more than a concert, it is a piece of art. The show is like a musical play, delivered with a diversity and such a warmth. All band members seems to have a good time. There is only one Gabriel... and the musicians are extraordinary good. Bassplayer and drummer really grooves tight together.
+Repetition sort of feels to me like a strange finale for the album, with heavy and somewhat disturbing lyrics and music.  One of the best tracks on the album in my opinion, again it has that indescribable something.  The lyrical content is a little edgier and angrier, which feels like a precursor to the Scary Monsters persona.

+5914	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	'Wheels of Fire' is Cream's sequel to their break-out masterpiece, 'Disraeli Gears'.  It is a two-disc set recorded over a years time between July of 1967 and June of 1968, and released in August of 1968, just several months before The Beatles released 'The White Album', the first double album composed entirely of newly composed studio tracks.  'Wheels of Fire' is less impressive as it consists of a studio album, and a mediocre live disc featuring only one new song, two retreads, and the legendary 'Crossroads', which was released as a single in February of 1969 and rose to number 28 on the national charts.  But 'WoF' is desirable primarily because it contains about a quarter of all the studio tracks Cream ever recorded.

A lot of these selections are played very fast, and occaisionally sound like they are being rushed through, but you have to take into consideration, these are all live recordings, and they players are probably caught up in the moment. And, as difficult as a lot of Zappa's material is to play properly, the musicians are obviously having a really good time, despite what a hard taskmaster Frank Zappa was.

I have very eclectic musical tastes, and listen to most anything, but this crap is absolutely painful to listen to.  And maybe that's the whole point.  It is an outpouring of emotion and pain that followed Yoko's tragic miscarriage, but to actually put this on CD and have people buy it, is a joke.  The opening track, "Cambridge 1969" is a 26 minute piece of intolerable pain, which features Yoko's offkey screaming, accompanied by John trying to match the pitch of her screams with feedback from his guitar.  If you can last the entire 26 minutes on this one, without going into a fit of rage and breaking something, you are a stronger person than I.  Let's face it---the only reason Yoko ever sold anything was because of her association with John Lennon.  This is awful stuff.

+5463	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The apt last cut on this 15 year old CD is Came So Far for Beauty.  Apt because in it and every one of the other eight songs here Warnes's vocals capture the almost too lush beauty in Cohen's words that his guttural voice often obscures in his own  recordings.  The classic Joan of Arc is a particular high point, with Cohen contributing duet vocals. Ain't No Cure for Love and Coming Back to You are nearly as good.  The piano and strings arrangements on Song of Bernadette make that simple and strange story still more poignant.  The clean and hushed recording enhances the intensity and timelessness in each of the songs.  Cohen has always worked with the eternal themes --love, religion, loneliness, and sacrifice -- and with "Jenny Sings Lenny" (as Cohen's graffiti-like artwork says) he gets the meditative presentation that his songs deserve.  This CD is a must for any collector of Cohen work -- his own or by others.  If only there had been two or three more songs included, for the CD is over long before I am ready for it to end.

This DVD not only has Taj Mahal and Forbidden City concerts on it, but it has added bonuses of an entire length documentary related to how the concerts came about, the musicians feelings about visiting China and India, and a separate interview segment with Yanni who shares his incredible home studio with the viewers. (Viewers please note:  The documentary, "No Boundries or Borders" so very well done, is located on the menu that comes up at the end of the concert's credits and is not found on the main opening menu.)

+The first single "Cousin Dupree" is certainly the catchiest track of the album and should have been a huge hit. The title track is irresistible with its funky bass line, keyboard flourishes, tasty guitar work, and excellent sax solo. This track only gets better with repeated listens and is certainly the best track they've recorded since the Aja album. The strongest tracks appear to be the tracks where the horns are very prevalent, such as "Jack Of Speed", "West Of Hollywood", and "Almost Gothic", the last sounding very reminiscent of their music from the Pretzel Logic or Katy Lied albums. Other tracks such as the opener "Gaslighting Abbie", the mid-tempo "What A Shame About Me", and "Janie Runaway" are all very good. Everything here is very well done, but the album isn't fantastic from beginning to end like Pretzel Logic or Aja. However, it's a stronger album than either Gaucho or The Royal Scam. Donald Fagen's vocals continue to be in fine form, even if they're not nearly as strong as on their '70s releases.  A very strong album, definitely worth checking out.

The outer cover is, as per the original Atco vinyl album, black print on alfoil, whereas the inner side of the gatefold has also been reproduced using exactly the same Day-Glo inks as were originally printed on the US Atco LP inside cover in 1968  a labour of love by Steve Hoffman. Master tape recording details have again been printed here including the dates of recording and studios used, master tape numbers etc. There has been no attempt, even by the Japanese, to come as close as the DCC to the beautiful original covers appearance. Even the original Atco trademark was replicated, much to the current licensees (Polygram) rage as per Fresh Cream. Some DCC copies (the CDs made in the USA during the second pressing run) have 3 hidden alternate mixes tacked onto the end of the CD, again causing much angst at Polygram. They were "Sitting On Top Of The World", "As You Said", and the shorter edited "Passing The Time"  the last is the version that was originally released on vinyl and CD.  DCC restored a deleted central jamming insert into Passing The Time and used that in the album instead of the shorter version.

+As I wrote above, Burnt Weenie Sandwich seems to focus more on Zappa's "classical" and ensemble writing, in fact, some of this music found its way into 200 Motels a couple of years later; played by a full orchestra.  The knowledgeable listener will recognize little pieces like the overture ( Semi Fraudulent/Direct From Hollywood Overture aka "When I Go Out On the Road to go Touring") There's a wide variety of musical styles here including a nostalgic rocker "WPLJ" and a doo-wop (perhaps a Ruben and the Jets out-take) called "Valerie". One of the "classic" pieces recalls Spike Jones in that it includes bicycle horns (the little squeeze bulb horn).  There's even a "baroque" duet (Aybe Sea) with Underwood on piano and Zappa on acoustic guitar.

+I miss Dusty.
+The other thing about RAM is what I've said before. McCartney isn't trying to be ''McCartney'' here. He's actually writing songs to please himself, and not catering to public consumption or with the worry that if he goes 'too far out there' he'll never write another ''Hey Jude''. This album is almost that never to be album entitled ''Paul McCartney Goes Too Far''. It's not that I'm saying I love every song on this album. There's one grievous wasted opportunity on this album that I still have problems with. But what I found on this album was McCartney being incredibly creative, and actually showing how much he can truly do when he stops trying to please everyone. The vocals on 'Dear Boy' are ones I never expected to hear on a McCartney album with his ''This'll do mentality'', they actually sound intricate and worthy of his admiration for Brian Wilson. Because THAT guy arranged harmonies like no other. 'Dear Boy' made me wonder where this McCartney went to. Maybe it was Lennon's attack on him (which to me seemed a bit overdone and based on the smallest evidence imaginable) that stopped McCartney pleasing himself, and back to the grind of producing hits again. I wish he had kept going the route of RAM. I might have more albums by him.

However,the playing time of this video is just a bit longer than the album itself. I remember from the concert,not the album,that at one point,Maurice introduced the band. One participant was Barry Gibb's son Stephen. This is one of a handful of concerts that was both seen and heard by those who were or were not in attendance at Las Vegas,Nevada's MGM Grand Hotel and Casino on November 14,1997. The Gibbs were promoting the STILL WATERS album released six months earlier. Too bad there was no video version of HERE AT LAST,the Gibbs' first live set,recorded in 1976.
+9480	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Imperial Bedroom is an album that has Elvis Costello ( Declan MacManus) at the top of his game as a songwriter. It's true that the album contains very few of his hits but every song is good regardless.  What I find striking about  Imperial Bedroom is how many different styles EC attempts to write in, we get Jazz ( Almost Blue ), Pop ( The Loved Ones ) Surrealist Rhyme ( Man out of Time ) it almost like a `master-class' in post Beatles songwriting.  By the end of the album (I would say the last 7 songs) each song tops the last getting more and  more melodious and clever until a wonderful crescendo with Town Crier, one of my all time favorite album closers.  Beautiful!  The band is also in top form with Steve Naive creating some the best arrangements in rock since the Beatles Abbey Road (comparison intended).  To make things even more  Beatlesque and masterful the album was produced by Geoff Emerick, the Beatles engineer from many of their masterworks.  Of course the strings on And in every Home are great but I really love his piano playing on The Loved Ones.  Whenever I hear that track I am reminded of the Scherzo from Schubert's Trout Quintet which Naive may have been quoting musically.
+
+  As for the music in this concert, it finds the group touring behind their "Love Over Gold" album, at a time when the group had added keyboards, saxophone and a more proficient drummer for a more exact reproduction of the group's increasingly melodic & complex arrangements. This doesn't mean that there isn't improvisation and elaboration. There is, and the group finds a groove and stretches out with renditions that are typically much longer than their studio counterparts.
+
+I have no idea, as a matter of fact, where the big band writing skills ever come from, since to get the sounds as you want, you have to have a very capable audition and there's only so many who can do that reasonably well. Take this with the possibility that Frank was indeed recovering from a quite bad accident and was a bit upset, and you can imagine that somewhere in the vaults there must surely be a lot of material that was recorded, or scripted, but didn't quite make his very high standards.

+The remaining tracks are all equally fine. 'The new St. George' is a stirring call for the people to rise up and throw off the lies that have shackled and enslaved them and poisoned the earth. 'Painted ladies' is a lovingly rendered tribute to 'women of the evening' and the comforts they offer. 'Cold feet' offers a humorous look at courtship. 'Mary and Joseph' gives us a 'sligtly' different look at Jesus' parents -- 'Mary is in stitches, tied down on the bed, while Joseph plays a ukelele standing on his head'. 'The old changing way' is a tribute to the vanishing Tinkers and their way of life, lovingly admonishing: 'You must share with your nearest till the end of your days...' The album ends with yet another humorous tune, an appropriately-delivered ode to over-indulgence of libations: 'I'm sitting at the bar with my face in the jar, and something tells me I'm twisted'.
+
+This may not be Zappa's greatest album, but it is one of his cleanest. Like `Hot Rats', there is very little `throw away' material.

The engineers have nothing to be "ashamed" about.  First of all, this live recording sounds different from others because of the intimate setting.  The Troubadour is a tiny club, not a 25,000 seat arena.  The dvd is great too, very enjoyable.
+The music is for the most part straight-ahead jazz; engineering,  sound & performances are impeccable.  Each cut is a carefully crafted  gem, with arrangements so complex & deep you can happily drown in them,  yet crisp and precise.  The melodies (notably on "Almost Gothic,"  "Negative Girl" and "West of Hollywood") don't end up  where they seem at first to be going, so it's a delightful challenge to try  and capture them (you probably won't at first hearing).  Unbelievably  sophisticated and intricate.

Not surprisingly, this is some of the best footage from Judy's concert years as CBS recorded on high quality film and preserved it relatively well.

In saying how love songs touch the very heart of someone, Ocean reprises what Elton John sang two years earlier, that "sad songs say so much."

+2885	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	First off, the packaging is new. Instead of that generic silhouette of Freddie, the new DVD has a very nice shot of the band on stage. The tracklisting is identical to the previous DVD release. Putting in the disc we see a nice animated menu with Queen playing in the background. Starting off with the video/audio presentation...The film is presented in anamorphic widescreen finally giving fans the chance to see the film in it's intended ratio. Afterall, the film was originally shot for an IMAX type show on a 5 story tall screen. This is a completely NEW video transfer, this time in high-definition. The differences between this DVD and all previous home video releases are very noticable. The new DVD shows so much more detail, the clarity in some shots was stunning. It also gave much more depth to the lighting Queen used on stage. All specs of dirt, scratches, hair, etc were removed. This is the BEST "We Will Rock You" has ever looked. The audio is a new Dolby Digital 5.1 mix and again, it's something to behold. You will never hear a better sounding Brian May guitar solo, the mix is that good. (There is also a seperate DTS release of the disc for those that have DTS receivers.)Concerning the extras, there is a informative audio commentary track by the film's director, Saul Swimmer. He shares plenty of anecdotes such as how the members of Queen insisted on screening the film seperate from each other, that Roger poked fun at the way Freddie held his hands at the piano and how Brian basically ignored all the cameras insisting that his performance was for the fans at the concert and nothing else. One odd thing Swimmer said was calling Queen a "cult band". They were coming off their biggest success ever in North America at the time and that equals cult status?There is an extremely easy Queen trivia quiz to play (though there are some mistakes as calling "The Loser in the End" simply "The Loser" but these are minor quibbles.)Also included are bios of the band and for each seperate member. You can also check out a Queen discography, complete with album covers, tracklistings and how they did in the charts (they only refered to the UK charts for some reason.)Then there is a virtual tour of Queen landmarks in England where you take a subway to each location (such as Kensington Market, the Queen fan club, etc) all the while hearing subway announcements like 'please watch your step' which made it fun. All in all this is a no-brainer purchase, even if you own the previously released DVD. The new widescreen hi-def transfer and audio mix is worth it alone.

But the album still manages to yield songs that yet again point to the future. Songs like "DJ", "Boys Keep Swinging", and "Look Back In Anger" are the kind of thing Blondie, Talking Heads and countless other disciples would be studying and copying for years to come. Even the less successful songs maintain Bowies penchant for edgy and experimental song craft and make this an album well worth buying.
+With George Duke and Ruth Underwood and Napolian Brock, Zappa here had one of the best jazz funk outfits of the 1970s. This  holds up as  amazingly adept music.  He made it work. Listen to Overnite Sensation today and it sounds fresh and vibrent. And great to play loud.
+As a teenager I  grew up on the Beatles and thought they walked on water.  Individually, I  expected the same.  With nearly 30 years hindsight, it's easy to see some  of the weak spots on this album.  "Monkberry Moon Delight" is  just plain silly.

+2653	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	My guess is that the original release of this concert had poor sales. I say that because I have all of the major ac/dc in concert video releases, and this is the poorest-produced one of the bunch. The instruments have a "distant" sound, for some reason, unlike Live at Donnington. Sooooooooooooo, since the sales of No Bull originally were poor, they thought they'd release a "director's cut" of it to entice hard-core sales, but guess what? It STILL sounds the same, only now there is 2 hours of it! If you don't own any ac/dc concert dvds and you perhaps, are a new fan, get Live at Donnington. That's one of the best dvd concerts in the whole world, but pass No Bull up. To be NO BULL, it sure is FULL OF BULL!

+5174	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I'd like to start out by saying that it's nice to know there are others who are familiar with this music and appreciate it.  I've turned on a couple of friends to Patrick O'Hearn but other than that no one else I know is familiar with his work.  Some of the music in the movie "White Sands" is from "Indigo" and does a lot for the show.  That aside, "Between Two Worlds" is one of the best new age CD's you can buy and also one of O'Hearns best works.  I left a scrap of paper inside the CD case that has the tracks on it I like most: 1,3,6,7,9,10.  The other reviews have described this album well.  You have to like the new age sound to like this though.  It is quite repetitive in places but stills sounds excellent, even during a concentrated listen.

There are many "guest" appearances by other artists, so each song is very different, reflecting that artist's talent combined with Santana's guitar work.  Mellow yet rocking at the same time.

I like to see it selling well and on VH1 and MTV, instead of that rap crap a lot of losers like. Also, this CD conatains some insane solos. Dirty Little Thing has the best solo on the CD, even though it isn't a great song otherwise (does anyone but me think it sounds way too much like Sucker Train Blues?) Anyways, it get 4 stars because the music is awesome, the lyrics are good, but the 1 star is taken away for crappy mixing. Scott Weiland is too hard to hear, and Slash's solos need to be mixed more into the foreground.
+3425	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	Although I generally like the music from this album - the DVD Audio is good example of how the record labels managed to kill this format. I bought this specifically for the higher quality STEREO ... but this disc is defaulted to 5.1 and it's extremely cumbersome and frustrating if all you want to do is listen to the album in higher res on your main stereo setup.  5.1 usually means home cinema (lower quality sound as it's also designed for movies) and in most cases awful 5.1 mixes of the original.  If you like this album buy the CD and save yourself the grief.

+6014	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	The 1980 release "chance" finds Mann with a new set of musicians backing him in the studio. Chris Thompson only sings on three of the tracks, but alas, this is Mann, he pulls it off with aplomb. Nine quality tracks are offered with standouts being 'Lies (through the 80's)', 'For You' (a Springsteen tune), and 'Stranded'. Thats just my opinion for the moment because I really like "Hello, I am your heart' and 'No guarantee'. As usual Mann's keyboards are phenomenal as is the production. Manfred's ability as an arranger as well as keyboardist shines again on this release. Another in a string of high quality Earth Band efforts.
+This album also features many other fine  moments.  The song "Run, Run, Run", a single in Europe and Japan,  deals with drug addiction and a world passing you by without your  knowledge.  The key lyric of the song, "Feeling the room, Feeling the  space, when suddenly I noticed it wasn't spring anymore",  is quite a  reality check in itself.

The whole different sound of this album is what definitely inspired so many people and artists either when it was released back in 1977 or 27 years later like myself.
+6264	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Like many others, I first discovered Leon on Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen album. Although the entire album is great, Russell's performance of "Hummingbird" was an instant favorite. I liked his voice so much I had to get this album, and it was certainly money well spent. "Hummingbird" is even better here, complete with the spirited outtro chorus that really makes the song. One of the surprises was the opening track, "A Song For You," which has become something of a standard in its own right. This is truly one of the most beautiful and heartfelt love ballads I've ever heard, and an amazingly low-key way to start an album. Many people are familiar with the song "Delta Lady," which was written by Leon but originally recorded by Joe Cocker. I think it's safe to say that the Master's own amazing version of "Delta Lady" is actually better than Cocker's by a long shot (although I love both). Being his signature song, it embodies almost every style he has become known for. "Delta Lady" is not only Leon's best song, it is one of the all-time greatest songs in popular music. Another highlight is "Pisces Apple Lady," although I wish it was a little longer!

+The lineup of Tool consists of easily one of the most talented groups of musicians today. nima would be the first album featuring bassist Justin Chancellor, and after just a few listens, it's palpable to detect the natural chemistry among the members. Adam Jones is a very skilled guitarist, ranked at #75 in Rolling Stone's "Top 100 Guitarists". However, the epitome of talent in this band lies in the drummer Danny Carey and the front man Maynard James Keenan. Carey has one of the most innovative drumming time signatures in present rock, which is actually shown more in depth on their later release "Lateralus".  And of course, Maynard possesses the best voice in the music business today. His vocals can be ethereal yet harsh, and range greatly from a whisper to a roar. The amount of skill in this band is simply undeniable.
+It must be frustrating to people who knock Stevie Nicks: she just won't go away! For over 30 years, this lady has sold millions of records and sold out concerts, with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist. Yet some people still try to knock her. Let's put it this way: of her female(and male for that matter) contemporaries such as Pat Benatar, Heart, Blondie, and The Pretenders, who charted at #5 and sold 2 million copies to date of their latest CD in 2001 and had the #7 tour of 2001? Stevie Nicks. Who had the #1 world tour of 2003? Fleetwood Mac. While her former popular contemporaries(Many of whom I like a lot) play rodeos, cruise ships and state fairs, Stevie Nicks sells out arenas. Why? This concert video is a great explanation, especially during the end credits of Stevie shaking hands and interacting with her adoring fans. Both seem equally touched. Stevie isn't fake. She hasn't had her 10th face lift, upteenth botox injections or done the "Cher" thing. She has survived 30 years of rock stardom, kicked drugs, lost over 60 pounds, and kicked smoking. She doesn't try to be "hip", nor does she change her image the way Madonna(not knocking her) does. Stevie is Stevie. That is why we love her and that is why she will always remain a rock and roll legend.

+No detail whatsoever - to use "audiophile" terms, there's no "air", no "sparkle" on the recording. It's dull and lifeless, and the bass makes you think you are listening to a boombox (and yes, my equipment is "resolving" enough, although I'm not listing it here! Trust me on this one). The only thing that sounds just about right is the midrange, but who cares when there are no highs to speak of, and the bass takes your attention away from anything else, anyway? Any compilation CD with Idol's songs sounds better than this CD.

There are some star guests here,but Santana had the decency of  allowing them some imput allowing for a very thorough and powerful musical  experience,not only true to the Santana sound,but also very  contemporary.

+The only positive aspects of this video are the all too brief selections from Lanza's films, none of which, amazingly, have been released on DVD.

+9178	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Aenima is not just the best Tool album.....it's also one of the best CD's released in the past decade.  It takes everything that made Tool what they were on Undertow and expands it.  This also means adding some flair and showmanship, and this mostly works in the band's favor.  A lot of songs which I consider to be definitive Tool songs are on this CD including "Stinkfist," "46 and 2," and "Third Eye," the requisite 10-minute-plus song.  Others, like "H." and "Eulogy" as well as the title track make this a CD worthy of anyone's collection.  This CD's only real problem in an apparent lack of focus...you may look and see that there are 15 tracks, but in reality, there are 9 true songs. 6 of the tracks are filler.  Some of it, like the track entirely in German, lends a lot to the creepy atmosphere.  Others, like the Ions track, are just total wastes of time.  Yet, all in all, Aenima still stands as the best Tool album, in my opinion.
+
+My only concern was for the backup musicians and vocalists.  We'd see very brief glimpses of them in the edited video, but we can hear them working hard and adding a lot to the rich fabric of the music.  I think it would have been nice to include a segment or two where the Fleetwood Mac folks finish a song with a turn-around and a tribute to the backup crew.

+1820	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	I borrowed this DVD from my local library, I was taken a back with the quality of this DVD, it looks like a crap video that is a shambles, The audio is reasonable in 5.1 plus the Doco is just ok, but the concert must be the worst vision I have seen on a DVD, How can David Bowie be happy with this visual display of inferior quality?, I get cheesed off with having good AV gear to have to  run this type of crap, and that's what it is, CRAP!! I have videos that come up 100% better, Why produce DVDs that don't qualify for this technology? it"s not the first and it won't be the last, DVD producers please don't bother putting visual crap out on DVD, your transfers are unworthy of modern technology, if the Masters don't scrub up for transfer forget it, although a lot of people cant see any difference, so be it.
+A second element of randomness is the inclusion  of two songs that have nothing to do with the rest of the story including  the album's most famous song, "Rebel Rebel," and the album's worst song,  "Rock `N Roll With Me."  If you want to stretch for a contextual meaning,  the "rebel" is rebelling against the state of affairs and enters into an  illicit love affair described in "Rock `N Roll With Me," which comes to a  shattering end with "We Are the Dead."  But that's a stretch. "Rebel Rebel"  is a holdover from Bowie's previous "Aladdin Sane" and "Rock `N Roll With  Me" is a throwaway song.  Although "Rebel Rebel" is a strong song on its  own, both this album and "Aladdin Sane" might have been improved if it was  traded with the excellent "Panic in Detroit," which would fit in well on  "Diamond Dogs."

Disc one is a thoughtfully-produced set, opening with "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," followed by an early Syd Barrett track. A solid hour of music. The rendition of Dark Side of the Moon on disc two is nearly identical to the original (although that isn't necessarily important), although it has that vibrant, live energy that David Gilmour seems to command. Finally, the encore featuring "Wish You Were Here" and "Comfortably Numb" fantastic. Roger Waters fans will be thoroughly satisfied despite his absence; there's something in it for every Pink Floyd fan and is a must-listen

+Looking back on this retrospective, I realize how much the "cute factor" was employed early on. Cute, as in "oh, Bjork looks cute cooking an egg, or look at her eat that slice of watermelon."  Not to say that Venus as a Boy or Possibly Maybe were bad videos.  The one video that has weathered the worst, in my mind, is Violently Happy.  Basically, it's one big euro-trash cliche, by a director that had much greater success with Madonna. I understand the whole insane-asylum concept, but cutting up a teddy bear, and shaving your heard, and clipping Raggedy Ann is too cliched for me.

+With Hotel California, I think the Eagles reached their peak.  Although the album is a brilliant record, with Joe Walsh's ascension the band became dominated by two members:  Joe and Don Henley.  The band's earlier records were a team effort, but on Hotel California, Don H. sings lead on most of the tracks, and Joe plays guitar and/or keyboard on nearly all the songs.  Those two guys, Joe and Don H., are great singers and musicians, but their practically dominating the vocals and musicianship made the Eagles less of a team.  Still, Hotel California is the Eagles' high point.  Even with the records they've released since reuniting after a long hiatus--Hell Freezes Over and Long Road Out Of Eden--the Eagles haven't topped Hotel California.

You will notice it easily if you compare the difference of the sound between those three and others. Obviously, lip-synched songs sounded very weak lacking "her spirit". "Deliver Me" is a clear example. It even made me laugh.(Look at the choir who don't seem like as skillful as Ms. Brightman in lip-synching!) What a disappoinment!!! I don't understand why she chose that way. Maybe she is too old to actually sing many songs in a row before audience without technical support. Ms. Brightman, I don't want to see your appearance, stage manner or dancing. I just want to see you sing with your passion communicating spiritually with the audience. If you can't sing, simply quit singing, please...

+This video opens up the highlights of the original artists getting back together, then the music begins with the current members of KISS doing all their songs accoustically.  How does it sound?  FANTASTIC!  Gene Simmons is one of the most underrated Bass Guitar players in Rock-N-Roll, and he shows his awesome musicianship as well as the other members of the group.  From such classics such as "Do You Love Me?" "Plaster Caster" the current group jams.

+Consistent quality has always been part of E-40's repertoire. Consistently enjoyable full albums are another thing. "In a Major Way" is definitely his most consistent effort to date. Although the beat-makers will prove to hit harder on later albums, there has never been a set of beats/collaborators that E-40 has worked better with. This is one of the albums that defines the Bay Area in the rap world.
+9319	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Son Seals is really one of the titans of the current blues scene who should be spoken of in the same conversation as BB King, Buddy Guy, and Ronnie Earl.  Of the many albums I have, this is one of the best, Son with his own band burning it up in a club full of real blues lovers.  Although the set here features several covers (Son is one of the great composers, as you'll learn on subsequent albums), they are delivered in quite personal, intense renditions (esp. Litle Walter's "Last Night") that show that Son picked up the best from watching the legends who used to play his father's Arkansas club in the 1950's.  This is one of the  gems on the Alligator label, so by all means buy it along with the others he has in the catalog. His vocals have grit, and his guitar is like a nasty fusion of BB, Albert (King), and Hubert Sumlin.  And see Son when he plays near you.

+363	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The title "Last of a dyin' breed" is the most accurate album title I've seen in years.  With the first song this album gives a good swift kick and doesn't let up. Even after all the probems that have plagued this band, they still keep going and (seemingly)getting better.  The "Dying breed" in question (I think) is the dwindling number of bands who can write good songs, and play REAL instruments instead of drum machines and rhythm tracks. When groups like skynyrd, aerosmith, and the stones are gone we will be stuck with a bunch of no talent fools who would be more comfortable making their music on a computer rather then bothering to learn how to play an instrument.

The mix as captured on the VHS/DVD is uneven - it is evident artists are not "in the mix" although they can be seen playing.  Also, most troubling is the very poor time sync between video and audio.

+"Joga" has always been one of my favourite Bjork songs, and the video to this song is one of my main focuses in the art project. The song incorporates the sounds of volcanic eruptions used as beats. This is a sharp contrast between nature (the volcano erupting) and modern technology (which is the computers used to make the eruption into a beat). The video reflects this with shots of Icelandic nature and the rugged and varied landscape of the land. Directed by the marvellous Michael Gondry, the video is a treat for the eyes. "Bachelorette" sees the return of the character Isobel, who now has her autobiography out, which is the title of this song. She is exploited by the industry in this video, which doesn't sit too well with Mother Nature. Before Isobel (played, obviously, by Bjork) knows it, people are turning into plants and bushes as nature tries to take control over the city. Eventually Isobel has to surrender her new-found fame and retreat to the woodland. This video was also directed by Michael Gondry, and is the third in a trio of videos with nature as the central theme, the first two being Human Behaviour and Isobel. "Hunter" is a stunning video which focuses only on Bjork's head and shoulders. She sings of being the hunter, the primal instinct in us all. As she sings, she morphs into a polar bear, but shakes this off again and again, trying to keep her animal instincts reserved for when she truly needs them. A smashing video.
+The ending gives you Judy at her very finest. Judy sings on a runway with an orchestra to create a miniature concert for the masses who were watching that evening. Judy performs "Rock-A Bye Your Baby;" "Swanee" and "San Francisco" with incredible panache and emotion. One is left with the belief that any other singer could never surpass her. All the others could ever hope to do is to merely aspire to be like Judy when you see her deliver these last three songs.

+It is hard to choose a favorite Bjork video, since they are all so magnificent and finely crafted. I'd have to say "Bachlorette" is the tops, though. The play within a play within a play concept really captures your attention and doesn't let go. Honorable mentions go to "Possibly Maybe" (beautiful, rich colors), "All Is Full of Love" (ahead of its time), "Army of Me" (outrageous scenery/props), "Pagan Poetry" (dirty lil Bjork getting pierced and masking sex acts into linear animation), "I Miss You" (Bjork vs. Looney Tunes!) and of course "Human Behavior."

+Though by all accounts his personal life was in turmoil, these songs reflect Mr. Baker's continuing strengths as a performer in the studio. Yes, his voice (never very strong) sounds wispy at times, but his timing is as evocative as ever, and the trumpet remains his real voice in any case.  The sense of longing he brings to "Imagination" is nearly heartbreaking, and in "Blame It on My Youth" his delicate trumpet solo punctuates the wistful lyric. His uncanny phrasing even turns the surprising choice of Costello's countryish ballad "Almost Blue" into a languid reverie. At every turn Mr. Baker demonstrates what might have been ahead in a career that had already spanned 30 years.
+Hits: Well, the album isn't really about hits, but "Stinkfist," "Forty-Six & 2" "H" and the title-track are always good fun to listen to by themselves.
+b) McLaren's narration is near-incomprehensible self-indulgent self-aggrandising. This film was his pet project, and he makes his mission bleeding obvious: to let everyone who ever liked the Pistols for their anti-establishmentism know they were merely sucked into his master plan. He basically wants to take credit for marketing the band to disaffected teens. My question is: why didn't he stick to a newspaper editorial? What he has here does not amount to a movie.

+9664	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	It is a shame that Luther had to leave us so soon. He was seemingly just reaching his creative peak before he was taken from us. He managed to leave us this impassioned piece of work, a combination of searing guitar work and emotion-filled vocals. His last three cd's with alligator records: "Soul Fixin Man" (1994), "Blue Streak" (1995), and "Reckless" (1997) are all superb, with this one being the best in my opinion. There is not a clunker to be found here. Luther mixes up slow numbers with uptempo tracks and it's all good. If i had to pick any highlights, they would have to be "Living in the House of the Blues" and "Drowning at the Bottom". These two songs also happen to represent the loudest and most powerful tracks on the cd. They capture perfectly Luther's ablity to transmit emotion in his playing and singing. His use of a Gibson les paul guitar is a refreshingly different sound to the abundance of blues players out there that use fender's. The les paul has a certain "growl" to it's sound that a fender tele or strat can't match. Luther uses his les paul to great advantage, releasing an energy while playing that few if any guitarists can attain. His voice seems to be an extension of his guitar sound: deep, soulful, and a little rough around the edges. I highly recommend this cd to any lover of blues.

Hmm, probably not. It didn't give me chills once.
+Warnes is a beautiful singer and she delivers Leonard Cohen's songs so that you cannot fail to be awestruck by how good they are. These lyrics are just sublime.
+One benefit of this album not having been released on CD with the rest of Harry's catalog is that now we get several excellent bonus tracks; the standout is the extremely rare "I Will Take You There" from the obscure movie Skidoo. But every song on this album is beautiful. Harry even does the definitive version of the Beatles' "Mother Nature's Son" that blows the original away.
+Baker was always a fine vocalist - and no one else sounds quite like him.  There are times when it sounds like he's hanging onto the notes by his fingernails - but there's never a moment (here, or in anything I've ever heard him sing) when he sounds detached from the song.  Every one of his performances is filtered through his heart and soul - and that's a beautiful thing to experience.  Without taking such extreme liberties that the melody is unrecognizable (as many who style themselves `jazz vocalists' seem to do), Baker lovingly caresses each tune and makes it his own.  The sheer intimacy that Baker is able to express in the love songs makes the listener feel like he or she is eavesdropping on a conversation from the next table in a dimly lit, wee-hours jazz club - and it's a privilege to share such raw, honest feelings.

+Regarding the Foo Fighters' cover version: The Foo Fighters skip the swooping guitars during the intro melody and you can hear it as dead space, causing a drop in intensity there resulting in an undesirable volume pumping effect. The Fighters copy the guitar solo note for note, what's the point? We've heard that already, and much better, so why bother? Granted I'm not that familiar with post 1989 Pearl Jam clone musical styles so I might be missing something, but to me the Fighters' guitar version of the sax intro melody is just plain wrong. The rhythm is wrong and corny, the accents are in the wrong place, and the guitar sound is so anemic when compared to the sax. Why would a band of the Fighters' stature cover a song anyway? The whole thing is just wrong.

+To me, this album is somewhat similar to the Skynyrd Album "The Last Rebel". It does not contain the "political messages" that were included in the "God & Guns" Album. Although it is Brand New Material, it does contains some references back to earlier versions of Skynyrd. For example, in the song "Last of a Dyin' Breed", it includes references to the song "Travelin' Man" from the past. Another example is "Mississippi Blood", it is similar to the song "Mississippi Kid" from the "Pronounced" Album. The song "Something To Live For" includes the words "No, I'll Never Change", which is similar to the part of "Freebird", which includes the lyrics "And This Bird Will Never Change". Overall, this is a VERY GUITAR ORIENTED album. Skynyrd still has that POWERFUL 3 GUITAR ATTACK, this time with Gary Rossington, Rickey Medlocke, & "Sparky" Matejka.

Honestly, the bonus footage of Mr. Michael on The Parkinson Show is worth the extremely reasonable price of this DVD alone. Without a doubt, one of our time's most gifted artist.  It's amazing to see an artist who writes his own music, produces it, then arranges so.  We have very few of these types of artists left these days.  And what separates George from those artists is that unbelievably beautiful voice.  Listen and watch as George lays out his heart and soul in song.  Be inspired...
+On the other hand, it does have high spots, with "Battle Hymn of the Republic" a case in point.  Garland apparently performed the song twice for her television, and she was so overcome with emotion that she made mistakes in the lyrics in both versions--but they were different mistakes, so you can tell the songs apart, and the version heard here is a true rarity, not the one that has been included in the endless wave of Garland recordings released over the year.  "Old Man River" is not a song you'd expect Garland to do, and it rarely turns up on her recordings, but she is nothing short of brilliant; her versions of "Just In Time" and "As Long As He Needs Me" are also seldom heard.

Pulse is everything a concert should be with songs that provoke deep thought and music to subduce any mood in the mesmeric form only Pink Floyd can accomplish, and all enhanced by backing vocalists, psychedelic images, and amazing light displays. Pink Floyd's Pulse is a show above all others. Magnificent. Electrifying. Tranquilizing. Spectacular.

+The centerpiece of the John Byrne album covered, 10-song LP--the song that defines Gerry and exemplifies his goodness, his vice (alcohol) and his rock sensibility--is Home And Dry.  I urge you to listen to Home And Dry right now please by searching it at your favorite online video site: "This silver bird takes me, cross the sky, just one more hour and I'll be, home and dry."  Absolute power.  Absolute purity.  "Gotta see you.  Gotta be with you."  Home And Dry is a sparkling example of Gerry's forte: depth of lyric.  Not one for repetition, each verse is unique with thought-provoking "voice", and even the chorus has subtle differences each time it's repeated in the song.  The album's pinnacle track, Home And Dry, captures the essence of the man, Gerry Rafferty.

+9156	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	I think that the positive reviews of this album have more to do with the happy memories it brings some of the reviewers than its actual musical content.  Listened to today, the humor is heavy-handed and unfunny, the skits are annoying, and Flo and Eddie are unbearably irritating, whether they're singing or attempting to make jokes with a very snide and unpleasant Zappa.  A self-satisfied, smug feeling of "Aren't we so clever, making fun of pop music!" permeates this disc.  It's mean-spirited, snide and unfunny.  I like a lot of Frank's work, and when he was at his best he could be very funny.  This isn't his best work.  Most unforgivably, the Mothers sound very tame and rote, with valuable playing time surrendered to the tiresome Flo and Eddie, whose appeal eternally escapes me.  I gave this a chance long ago and it hasn't grown on me since.  Give this a pass and get one of Frank's classics instead, like "Hot Rats" or "Apostrophe."
+Drake fans will enjoy the little mistake, complete with a joke and laugh in "Mayfair," the alternate versions of "Man in a Shed" and "The Thoughts of Mary Jane" (both originally found on Five Leaves Left (1969)), and "Fly" (originally from Bryter Layter (1970)). ("Fly" was also seen/heard in the great film The Royal Tenenbaums). The last four songs here were recorded in 1972, two years after the classic Pink Moon album, and were the last songs Drake recorded in a studio ("Rider on the Wheel," "Black Eyed Dog," (as heard in the films Practical Magic, Serendipity and The Good Girl, among others), "Hanging on a Star," and "Voice from the Mountain").

+Overproduced? Well, yeah. But that's part of its charm, I guess you could say. And more often than not it's a classic: Take the cynical Beyond Belief or the ballads Almost Blue and Man Out of Time. Shabby Doll, Tears Before Bedtime and The Long Honeymoon (which has the only accordion part I've ever heard that I can honestly say I like) aren't as prominent as those three, but they have the same feel and are just as good. And Costello's lyricism and immortal melodicism are diminished.

+A track like "Didja Get Any Onya?" goes from free-form jazz one minute directly into some really bizarre experimentation that sounds like it played a strong influence for the krautrock band Can, and specifically the second to last track from their Tago Mago album.

It may be hard to believe, but it seriously DOES sound like Can was listening to this album back in the day.

These Bach Violin Concertos (and previous recordings) show Andrew Manze to obviously be a violinist of extreme technical ability as far as negotiating complex passages, however what he has in complex passages work he is lacking in flowing melodic line, solid intonation, smooth articulation and beauty of sound. His playing often sounds scratchy, awkward and uneven. The tone he emits from his instrument is not attractive and his phrasing sounds unnatural.

+8457	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	It's well documented that Billy Joe Shaver wrote nine songs (including the title track) from Waylon Jennings' 1973 album Honky Tonk Heroes. Shaver's songwriting is in the very top bracket - he's written some of the most memorable, hardest-hitting country songs in the history of the music. As a solo artist or as frontman for his group, he has failed to reach great heights of commercial success; partly because he doesn't fit the image required to make it big in the Billboard country chart, and also because great though his songs are, they can't all be termed radio-friendly. Let's forget the pursuit of fame (which was never a priority for Shaver anyway) and concentrate on his music: uncomromising rock-edged country blues, vocals spat out with equal parts venom and humour and the startling guitar work of Billy Joe's son Eddy, who tragically passed away in December 2000, the victim of the temptations that the life of a no-frills travelling band will provide. Tramp On Your Street was Billy Joe's return to recording in the early 90s and he wisely mixed some of his own classics including I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal and Georgia On A Fast Train, hits for John Anderson and Johnny Cash respectively, with equally resonant new songs, standout tracks being rocking The Hottest Thing In Town and the beautiful ballad Live Forever. Shaver continued to record throughout the 90s and into the 2000s until Eddy Shaver's death; Billy Joe is touring with Kinky Friedman at the time of this review. Let's hope that his son's death doesn't prematurely end the recording career of the greatest of the original 70s outlaws.

My five star rating goes to original Uncle meat vinyl that doesn't contain film excerpts. The power of Uncle meat seems sometimes to be completely beyond any analysis. First of all it works better as whole than separate pieces. The album flows perfectly from instrumentals to vocal pieces to conversations to musical jokes. Uncle meat is full of complex instrumental music that is quite enjoyable, but still very experimental and unclassifiedable. There are many jazz, classical, doowop, psychedelic rock and even opera influences. I think the vocal pieces are real meat of this album. The vocals are even more hilarious than usually in Zappa's work.

The picture is grainy at times, which would be most noticeable to people with big screen, plasma, or projection television sets. While the DVD boasts "Re-Mixed and Re-Mastered", but it appears that the source material was a bit frayed. The picture is not horrible, but it could be much better, considering the capabilities of the DVD format. The sound is mostly well mastered, but there are times when the backing vocals are muted, making them almost indistinct. The bass also fades out on occasion, but this is less noticeable and therefore less of an inconvenience. These are not serious problems that would prevent me from recommending the DVD, but DVD purists would definitely find things to complaint about.

+The album has received much praise, and it is of course nice to hear new material from the group. Perhaps the album was, with the enthusiasm that the group recorded again, somewhat overestimated. Instrumentally and lyrically it has the level of the golden past; but many of the songs' melodic profiles are somewhat loose and some of them also seem a bit lengthy.
+  "All the Nasties" finds Elton representing a protagonist who wonders if, were people aware of who he really was, would still accept him or scorn him. Some have taken this song to be about Elton's homosexuality, and having to cover the truth about his real self in order to remain viable in the record buyer's market, but the theme is sufficiently murky enough to render all as mere conjecture. There's no question, however, that the title is in reference to all the naysayers lying in wait.

I wonder if this band was listening to Yes at the time, because some of the guitar tricks found in classic Yes songs can briefly be heard here.  Like in the title song, which reminds me of the speeding-up part on the second half of the Yes song "I've seen all good people".

+Here we find an album about women,  for women and by a woman.  Most songs deal with the stress and strain of  women trying to survive in a male-dominated society, however you don't have  to be a woman to enjoy this album.  Songs like "Angry Young  Woman", "She Hits Back", and the album's single "Woman  Power" could have easily been anthems for the feminist movement.  Others like "Yellow Girl", "Coffin Car", and  "Woman of Salem" depict the damage done to woman by the ongoing  oppression of the male society.

+I know many people will probably disagree, but I think this is still Imogen's finest album, by far, with the newer solo album SPEAK FOR YOURSELF in second place and FrouFrou a distant third. I suspect that some of her best work is still ahead of her, because she is still quite young and obviously an mega-creative artist and a curious, never complacent person.  But for now I MEGAPHONE is still her most sophisticated album in terms of variety of approach, sophistication of production style and texture, and overall energy. It is an album brimming over with talent and top-notch performance, infectiously dramatic, ambitious in scope, and the document of a hugely talented young woman proving herself.

+I've often thought about what makes the original Mothers' music so good, and I think it is because in the late 60's, Frank Zappa hadn't yet formed the lyrical and musical persona that we know today (Arguably, that wouldn't come until 1973's Overnight Sensation). At this point in his career, he was experimenting with all sorts of styles, perhaps subconsciously trying to pinpoint where he wanted to go with his music. In this album, Frank is pushing his band both musically and stylistically to meet his artistic needs. And the results are priceless.

And no: I won't listen to another criticism about her voice. Yes there are certainly better singers, but I can think of no other artist who has written more daringly original music than Yoko. Even if you aren't up to the wild vocalese experiments of the "PLASTIC ONO BAND" and "FLY" albums (or her tepid audio collaborations with husband John Lennon) that's no excuse to ignore her mainstream pop/rock releases. There isn't any other singer capable of putting across the climatic build-up and execution on "Woman Of Salem" or who could belt out the anthemic "Woman Power". Her performance is, at times, quite awe inspiring; and the instrumentation moves easily from country ("If Only") and ballads ("Growing Pain") to vaudeville ("Men Men Men") and rock ("Coffin Car") without skipping a beat. Although her militant feminism can be hard to swallow (i.e. her pro-abortion stance, the violence of "She Hits Back", and the irresponsibility of "Angry Young Woman": a frightening tableau about a wife who sneaks out of the house one night and leaves behind her husband and children in order to start a new life for herself), the music certainly isn't (a fact which makes "FEELING THE SPACE" a masterful piece of work). ANOTHER BIG PLUS: the Yoko-as-sphinx cover art! Freaky yet cool!

'Caught a lite Sneeze' comes a close second and is just a visual feast for the eyes.

This is one of his best-known solo records from the 'Seventies, a typically understated, flawless set of stripped-down, nostalgic old-timey acoustic numbers, with Blake playing solo and accompanied by a sympathetic secod guitar.  There are plenty of Vaudeville and Southern-themed songs on here, including ditties such as "Hand Me Down My Walking Cane," "Arkansas Traveler" and "Old Gray Mare," music that the entertainment industry -- in all its areas -- had long since turned its back on.  Blake breathes life back into these old standards, taking each song at his leisure while crooning in his thin, smooth old-mannish voice.  For fans of great music, simply and elegantly performed, this is hard to beat.  Plus, the guy's a world-class ace flatpicker -- folks who actually "get" what he's doing on guitar will be amazed.

+1. "King Henry the Fifth/Elegy for the Brave" (Frank Devenport, Don Ralke) - 6:16
+
+
+
+All original recordings.
+The next five videos are taken from the album Bedtime Stories with the fifth video taken from Something To Remember. The fourth video in the collection is Secret (9/10, 8/10) from 1994. This black and white video is very cool. Many people thought the song was about Madonna being pregnant. The rumours were proved wrong, as Madonna would have her first child two years later. I suppose most of Madonna's video's can be regarded as classics, and Secret is definetly one of those. The fifth video is Take A Bow (10/10, 10/10). The song topped the US chart for 7 weeks and became her biggest hit ever Stateside, but it peaked at No. 16 in the UK becoming her lowest chart entry for more than 10 years! The video is set in Spain and is about a man who is a bull-fighter and doesn't pay enough attention to his love interest (Madonna), so she leaves him. Definetly one of the best videos in the collection. Bedtime Story (9/10, 10/10) is the sixth video. This weird video shows Madonna at her most creative and inspiring. The seventh video is Human Nature (8/10, 10/10). The last single to be taken from Bedtime Stories, it was said to be the last chapter on Madonna's sex phase. The theme of the video is bondage. It's a stab at her critics who criticised her for her early-90's actions - very clever and thought-provoking! The eighth video is Love Don't Live Here Anymore (10/10, 9/10). The song first appeared on Madonna's 1984 No. 1 album Like A Virgin, but later appeared on her 1995 ballads collection Something To Remember. The song was never released as a single, yet a video was made for it(?!) The video shows Madonna walking around some pillars wrapped with sheets. It may sounds strange, but it's not. The thing I noticed most about this video is that the camera angle never changes. It moves in very slowly to Madonna halfway through the song before moving back out as the song ends. Very cleverly done!

It kind of reminds me of This Year's Model: four-piece rock with a funk edge and lovably cheesy keyboards. And it's good. ("Uncomplicated"; "I Hope You're Happy Now"; "Honey, Are You Straight or Are You Blind?"; the jangly "Next Time Around"). The difference is, there are a few longer tracks that are great, too (the ominous rumble of "Tokyo Storm Warning"; the torch ballad of sorts "Home is Anywhere You Hang Your Head"; the possessive "I Want You", a slow, creepy build-up of a song). And Costello's undeniable songwriting skills make even weak songs like "Blue Chair" (stupid harpsichord...) and the rather unspectacular "Crimes of Paris". Other than "I Want You" none of these songs are exactly classics, but it's an all-around good album, though the fourth extended track ("Battered Old Bird") is a bit much, and the spaced-out intro to "Poor Napoleon" annoys me. Still, a very respectable album, one of Costello's best.

+Band 3: Giovanni Martinelli - 1930 (1:48) - a short segment from one of the early "talkie" movies, showing the 45 year old Martinelli (in costume) singing the opening of "Celeste Aida". Commentary by a much older Martinelli - probably shot around 1960.

After all, even though I heard most of the tracks on the album, they're different live, and well... honestly that was one of the best shows I've ever been to in my life, if not the best.  If you get a chance to see this band play live (and good luck, they sold out in philly in under a minute... they are playing small venues for this tour), go for it.  But I knew any review I did would be tainted by how blown away I was by their covers of STP and GNR (and the encore-ending finale Nirvana Cover of Negative Creep... wow).  So I waited for the CD.

You can't go wrong buying this and liking 1950's style music. I recommend this to anyone who wants to discover that 1950's sound. I found it the music kind of haunting due to how old this stuff really is but you shouldn't have that reaction, because I am a vary sick person. if you  like rock in roll music of the 1950's you should buy this album it contains classics versions of songs like Nazareth's "Love Hurts" only this is Roy Orbison's version in which I like both the same. and "pretty Women" in which is a major rock in roll record hit back in the mid 20th Century. If you have no Roy Orbison CD's already this is the one you should buy if your only looking for greatest hits done by this oldies fantastic solo artist named Roy Orbison.

Very much like AC/DC's music there are no mayor surprises - Its straight in your face rock and roll. It has the right songs, the show is outstanding and the band plays with fury. What makes this concert remarkable is the location. This concert was filmed at the Plaza de Toros in Madrid, Spain a place that is not the typical rock concert venue. The combination of the band, the audience and the venue makes for an explosive and intense evening.
+I recall a bunch of the same folks who were all enthralled with the "Paul is Dead" urban legend during the Beatles era shifting their fascination to the open feud betwixt Paul and John in their solo work. The "Too Many People" was the first shot across the bow from HMS McCartney and prompted John to come out with his oh-so bitter anti-Paul rant "How Do You Sleep?" on the album Imagine.

I have The Dance on CD and VHS and in my opinion it doesnt compare to the DVD. I noticed during the ending of "Gypsy" (which was an incredible performance) Lindsey's guitar playing was very much more prominant. You can really hear the individual musical sounds of each instrument here, and the vocals are much better, someone mentioned them not ben n sync with the picture, thats not the case on the DVD i have, definetely worth your money! I love Stevie, and Fleetwood Mac and this captures them in their finest.
+Hey, the public knew what they were talking about at any rate - At the Speed of Sound went all the way to #1, stayed in the charts for almost a year, and augmented a record-breaking tour. Not bad for a little number the critics reviled as more McCartney "mediocrity", eh?

+However, I wish I could be as enthusiastic about Eric Marienthal's playing. Granted, he has chops and all, but for me, comes up short in the creativity department, as it seems he plays the same Sanborn-esque licks over and over again with little variation when not navigating Chick's twisty melodies. I've always thought of him as the EB's weakest link. IF there had been NO sax at all, this disc might've earned a 5 star rating without much trouble.

Along with generous amounts of concert performance, this two-tape set WHICH SHOULD REALLY BE MADE INTO A DVD (hint hint MCA) also includes a bit of Boingo history recap.  Some of us in the Los Angeles area were fortunate enough to be witness to Maestro Elfman' s curiously evolving ensemble, which had its genesis as far back as the mid-70s, and it is indeed unfortunate more of those early years were not captured for posterity.

+But in Detroit, on WRIF, they seldom ever played "Silly Love Songs" and "Let `Em In".  Instead, they played Denny Laine's "Time To Hide", Jimmy McColloch's "Wino Junko", and Paul's "Beware My Love" which I think should all have been the hit singles from this album.

+The second set moves right into a guided relaxation. Ana's voice gently offers prompts to relax and let go; after several minutes, she cues you to "return to your body." For the chant, Ana joins in singing "Ek Ong Kar Sat Nam Siri Wahay Guru" as the words encircle her body on screen. Ana and Ravi go in a slightly different direction for the Closing Prayer segment. As always, they encourage you to wish blessings upon self, someone in your life who needs it, and the world as a whole. However, they skip the final chant of "Sat Nam" (which I missed) in favor of having Ana sing "May the Long Time Sun shine upon you - all love surround you - and the pure light within you - guide your way on" which she repeats three times.

+7501	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	to the bangin' beats and intelligent lyrics that the Tribe serve up on this, their third and best CD.  I love how Q-Tip's laid back cool works off Phife's energetic boasting to produce some of the best rap of the '90's.  Favorites on the disc include "Lyrics to Go," "Steve Biko," "Award Tour," "We Can Get Down" and the best cut, "Electric Relaxation."  I've enjoyed the Tribe's work from the beginning with the first album, "People's Instinctive Travels."  I found them refreshing because they came from the jazz tip and were very clever lyrically.  With the first three albums they set themselves apart from the crowd.  With the album after this one, "Beats, Rhymes and Life" I think they tried to join the crowd and got away from what they do best, make you think and feel good.  If you need to be introduced to what was "A Tribe Called Quest," start with the first three albums and watch the progression from good, better, BEST, which is what "Midnight Marauders" is an example of, rap at its best.

I think the great vocals of Junior Wells on "Big Boat" would be worth the price of this album alone - but it is just one of the many treats on this album. This album is full of standard blues classics, but the sound is so fresh it is like you are hearing them for the first time.

+2138	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	It's true the sound quality is dissapointing, hence only 4 stars. Why on Earth produce a DVD of the most profound musical act ever without making the sound as good as a cd? So we must forgive that and listen beyond the poor quality barrier. We are nevertheless thrilled to have bought it, and it is them, and they are as wonderfull to watch as they are to hear. There are interviews with Brendan and Lisa between songs that give insight into the songs and themselves. Brendan's brother is in there, and a really wild drummer! It's powerfull and poinient stuff. It would also make a great introduction to the band. Maybe one day they'll redo the sound. Don't worry about the PAL rating, it's an all regions DVD, which is clever. The Protagonist video is also very nice.
+Unlike a dodge-drafting hippy fart
+This concert was filmed in black & white--hence, the title of the performance--and features a great array of pop musicians (including k.d lang, Jennifer Warren, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits, among others).  What's more, the audience is so in love with Roy, and it shows.  You can hear it in their enthusiastic, warm applause.  I think this is a performance you can watch again and again, as you continue discover new depths and heights in his style, dynamics and beautiful music.
+The packaging of these recordings is nothing to write home about.  Most multiple CD collections offer a booklet of some sort, but this collection has a paucity of artwork and song information, and no photography or lyrics.  After all these years, isn't there a story to tell?  So what you hear is what you get.  You could certainly do worse, but Polydor could have done us much better (can you spell, "bonus tracks"?).

+The second record has a couple of tracks you can sink your teeth into "Woman" and "Tongue In Cheek."  It'll take a few listenings to satisfy your appetite but after the self-titled album you already got more than your monies worth!
+I usually rely on my own words with brief quotes, but in this case I think Bob Dylan's words are appropriate:  "Orbison...transcended all the genres...With Roy, you didn't know if you were listening to mariachi or opera.  He kept you on your toes...His voice could jar a corpse...His songs had songs within songs.  Orbison was deadly serious...There wasn't anything else on the radio like him."
+
+This concert took me away and brought me to a place I've never been to. The atmosphere and magnitude of it all is almost uncanny, but Pink Floyd made it a reality. I will treasure this DVD for years to come.
+Is "Two Virgins" misunderstood? If it is it's because it's in an incomphrensible musical langauge. The cover was the only thing this album was notable for--a nude portrait of a couple who had found love. It created controversy (EMI didn't want to distribute it). As avant-garde its too simplistic as music it's a disaster. Avoid unless you must have everything (including every fart, belch and toe nail trimming) from Lennon.

+But that obsession with perfection paid off, as the segment of multiple guitar solo takes demonstrates. The DVD is completely entertaining: Becker and Fagan are even smarter than I imagined, and it's easy to see how they command the respect of some of the biggest talents (and egos) in the world of LA session music.  AJA is a masterpiece, and the DVD is a long overdue companion piece.

+One other gripe I have is on the video edition, there was no song list! I find that rotten because I had to find the song list on Internet and then print it out and add a little sheet at the back of the video case!

Fogerty describes the Fairfield Four as a national treasure, but the phrase applies equally well to himself.  More cool rock & roll sound emanates from this one guy than anybody else on the planet, including Elvis, the Boss, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, you name it.  The composite concert on this disc captures Fogerty on fire, doing all your favorite CCR tunes plus some equally inspired new songs.  I don't know what to make of these reviews talking about lip-synching; if you've ever seen Fogerty live, you know there's no rock performer who needs artificial sweetening less.  I suspect any synch problem might be in the DVD medium itself; I have seen out-of-synch segments on various discs from time to time, and I understand you're supposed to hit pause on the PS2 to resynch audio and video.  That said, I have both VHS and DVD versions of Premonition, and the DVD has it all over the VHS for both picture and sound quality.  Again, this concert captures one of the all-time great American rockers at the top of his game, and I recommend it highly.  Made loud to be played loud!!!

It is hands down, the finest musical performance ever captured on film by ANY band and I will argue to the death with anyone who wishes to challenge. Further, in keeping with their tradition, the visual component is astonishing. The band's musical virtuosity and staying power is self-evident and a timeles tribute to the magic and genius that is Pink Floyd. After countless viewings, it still gives me chills up my spine as I watch with jaws agape. If you don't own this one, you are missing a major ingredient of music appreciation.

If anybody wants to hear how amazing an SACD or DVD-Audio Disc can sound check out The Beatles "Love". I hope the record companies start releasing these superior sounding discs once again.
+Great packaging, too.  And I even like Linda's background vocals.  Even the purposely harsh ones on Long-Haired Lady.  Buy it.  Still low risk.  Still a bargain at any price.
+As you probably know, they left off the song "hot water" on the original album, and in its place they put in the hit song "don't call us, we'll call you".  I don't know if that was a good move or not, since I am not familiar with "hot water".  As much as I enjoy "don't call us, we'll call you", it would've made more sense to just leave in "hot water".  It's supposedly only 4 minutes long, so there would have been enough room for it if they took off "don't call us".  But, you can look at this the other way; now you have a CD with the bands two biggest hits on it that's NOT a greatest hits album.  But now it will bug me forever if "hot water" is a good song or not, because I probably won't ever be able to hear it.

+Though Warnes had long been known as a gifted singer, this was her break out album. She emerged from the back ranks of American singers to become known as one of the premiere interpreters of song in America. And the album did more than merely establish Warnes as an important artist. Leonard Cohen, after great initial success in the late sixties and decreasing but definite success in the seventies, was in the eighties in a period of decline. More and more, his albums tended to contain a few amazing songs with some astonishing bland ones. Too often the gems were ignored in favor of the weak cuts. There had been a decided drop in quality of his albums for some time. But FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT created a new interest in Cohen, and only a year later, Cohen capitalized on the success of Warnes's album in general and her cover of "First We Take Manhattan" to put it on a new album of songs, his best album sing his SONGS OF LEONARD COHEN debut. I'M YOUR MAN started off with "First We Take Manhattan" (which was made into an MTV video) but progressed to a very strong set of songs, including not just "I'm Your Man," "Ain't No Cure" (another song Warnes had covered on her album), and "Tower of Song," to what might be his greatest song of the past twenty years, "Everybody Know," a scathing dissection of sexual mores in the post-sexual revolution generation. Not just this, the success of FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT and I'M YOUR MAN led to a reexamination of Cohen's more recent albums, and from them a number of masterpieces were rediscovered, most prominently "Hallelujah" from 1985's VARIOUS POSITIONS.

+9057	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	John Lennon romantically hooked up with Yoko Ono,now divorced from her second husband. Lennon was separated and not-yet-divorced from his first wife Cynthia Powell,when this album was recorded in May 1968. You can see some detailed footage regarding the making of this album in the 1988 Warner Bros. documentary IMAGINE-THE DEFINITIVE PORTRAIT OF JOHN LENNON. While honeymooning in Canada in 1969 after their wedding on March 20 that year,John and Yoko were paid a visit by now-deceased Al Capp,who created the L'il Abner comicstrip. Capp tells the Lennons,"One thing that interested me was you said you were very shy people in the Globe. And yet...". That was when Capp showed the TWO VIRGINS cover photo to the Lennons. Capp also said,"Only the shyest people in the world would take pictures like this! If that isn't a picture of two shy people,I'd like to know what shyness is. Oh,what filth!". John asked Capp,"You think that's filth?". Capp replies,"Certainly not,I'm denouncing people who think it is. I think everybody owes it to the world to prove they have pubic hair. And you've done it and I applaud you for it! I really don't think there's any great interest in this. Clearly,you must have felt the world wanted to know what your private parts look like and now the world knows! And I tell you that is one of the greatest contributions to enlightenment and culture of our time!". Some others in the room even applauded! Some copies of this album were distributed by Apple Records,founded by The Beatles in 1968 and others were distributed by Tetragammaton Records,a small independent label partially owned by comedian-actor Bill Cosby. At first,the album was released with no barrier concealing the full frontal nudity. But those copies were reclaimed by police departments and later returned to retail stores with the barriers. I saw a book,with the cover photo in it and the word "boobs" appears near Yoko's bare breasts. The quoted word did not appear while the book was pressed. It was handwritten by some interested young boy,obviously. Sorry,I can't say the other handwritten words. Anyway,this is a cool album. Very subtle and enjoyable.

+This album is EASILY one of the best live rock albums EVER recorded.  This is probably my second favorite Zappa recording after ONE SIZE FITS ALL.  I was introduced to this album as I was getting deeper into jazz music, and I loved it immediately.  Not that you have to be a jazz fan at all.  But this album is a great mix of rock and jazz stylings.  "Don't You Ever Wash That Thing" is very jazzy indeed.  But don't fear, Frank and crew are rocking as good as ever on great tunes like "Pygmy Twylyte" "Dummy Up" (what a great song), the nostalgic "Village of the Sun", "Bebop Tango..." (listen to George Duke!) and the hilarious "Cheepnis" ('...here fido...here fido...*laugh*).  What a riot.  The stage banter and audience participation from time to time only add to the zany-ness (is that a word?).

The four tracks sung by the....whoever they are I could do without, but the remaining tracks owned by Bocelli work.

Still, the pedigree of the material brings it to a significantly different sound then any of Bowie's previous work-- a very much theatrical sound is present throughout the music, and it ends up coaxing some fine performances out of Bowie.

Getting the chauvanist-bigotted hype out of the way: the music on this double-CD is not only diverse, rocking, touching at times, piquant at times, and wise: but innovative. Listen to "Move On Fast" and tell me it isn't paving the way for the coming eras to come of punk and new wave (as does Yang Yang). My favorite: "Looking Over From My Hotel Window." I tend to play that one over and over again after I hear it. The witty asides are great (reminds of the type Lou Reed uses in his solo career). I love this double-CD.

+This is an extraordinary album and well worth the price paid.  Were it not for synthesizers and whatnot, the theramin would be envied as an instrument for virtuoso musicians.
+Other highlights of the performance that merit special comment include "Smile," debuting here, a beautiful new song similar in style to "Green is the Colour"; "Je Crois Entendre Encore," a serene but haunting Bizet aria; "Fat Old Sun," Gilmour's first performance of his 1970 composition since that era; and "Breakthrough," from Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright's underappreciated 1996 solo album, Broken China. Although Sinead O'Connor sang "Breakthrough" on the album, Wright appears here as a guest (to great applause) and performs the vocals with Gilmour's band. Accordingly, this is the only version of one of Wright's best songs that he actually sings himself.  One should also take care not to neglect the special features the DVD offers in addition to the main performance. Even presented alone, they would stand among the most interesting artifacts in the Pink Floyd universe, and longtime fans should applaud the powers that be for finally realizing that these experiments and curios merit commercial release. The most interesting is the choral version of "High Hopes," where Gilmour brings his dozen background vocalists to the foreground and treats the audience to a haunting tone poem. Minimalism triumphs as the choral component alone proves more arresting than "High Hopes" itself, as beautifully chilling as the "Celestial Voices" part of Floyd's psychedelic melange, "A Saucerful of Secrets." Also included is William Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 ("Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? . . ."), sung by Gilmour to music by Michael Kamen, Gilmour's current pianist and an alumnus of Roger Waters' band (and also the man who paired Guns n' Roses and Metallica with the Philharmonic). Kamen's "lite FM"-style arrangement is almost muzak, exacerbated by accompanying imagery reminiscent of Japanese karaoke footage, but it's a nice song and an interesting companion to "Golden Hair," Syd Barrett's 1970 adaptation of a James Joyce poem.

And boy did Billy Idol ever deliver on this one. (Although, to be fair, a lot of the credit has to go to guitarist and co-writer Steve Stevens.  His departure and the consequent lacklustre quality of Idol's future work serve to underscore the importance of Stevens' contribution).  This CD would be essential if only for "Rebel Yell" and "Eyes Without A Face", two of the darned catchiest songs ever put on record in the 80s.  But 20 years later even the filler (e.g. "Blue Highway", "Do Not Stand In the Shadows") holds up extremely well.  I can't think of any other album that's as successful at combining hard rock and catchy pop into an unrelentingly entertaining listen.  (I'd strongly recommend the original over the newer extended version.  The extra material will just diminish the impact of the original nine songs clocking in at 37 minutes total).

Jackie was so charismatic that his mere smile would have women swooning in groves. Jackie,not Teddy Pendergrast, was the one who originally hosted 'women only' concerts,to standing-room audiences! This collection lacks two important songs-"At Last" and "Danny Boy"The latter is one of the most heart-felt and vocally beautiful rendering of any song I've ever heard. The former is one of his charted pop tunes ,and showed the amazing versatility of the man.

+While Idol's debut continued in the vain of commercial punk similar to his old band Generation X, albeit with more guitars, "Rebel Yell" takes a different path. It's hard to pigeonhole the exact genre of "Rebel Yell," as it is equal parts new-wave, metal, punk, and pop. While synthesizers were present on the debut, they are front and center here, giving the album streaks of cool-new wave. While some of the album's songs like the metallic title track would have done Ozzy proud, the album has an undeniable pop-sensibility as melody is always emphasized. But Idol's punk roots are also apparent throughout the album. Also, compared to the more meat-and-potatoes debut, "Rebel Yell" has a far more spacey, trippy, drugged-out feel.
+4662	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	As we all know, Steely Dan is one of just a few really legendary bands in music history. As such, no matter what they release, fans will grab it up, and most critics will praise. Yes, this is a very good Steely Dan album, winner of the 2000 Best Album Of the Year at the Grammy's. Maybe partly because it was so long awaited and highly anticipated. It's deviation in sound from classic Steely Dan is a welcome new experiment. While it still retains that cool jazzy funk, it takes on a more modern sound in keeping with the times, all the while compromising nothing, which shows character. I can't nor will not say that it is an overrated album, but I will say that Steely Dan's followup "Everything Must Go" is better. It shows more maturity. I listen to both regularly, and this album has a greener character, a Summertime kind of quality. You could almost say that this one is more fun that the followup, especially with the 5 star track "Cousin Dupree". If any of these songs were to be offered as a single, they would either be this one or title track "Two Against Nature". Two of the best we have here.

Stevie calmly sits down on the drum riser, puts a lit cigarette in his mouth, straps on a red Fender Strat and goes to work. He never opened his eyes once throughout the entire song, he only occasionally took a drag off of the smoke as it burned practically to the end. He felt every note he played and made each one count...I sat in front of the TV absolutely mesmerized and remained that way even after the video was over and the main menu had come back on.

Of course "Last Caress", "Am I Evil?", and "Seek & Destroy" are performed as encores. I especially dig the "Kill 'Em All/Ride the Lightning" medley, that consists of "Fight Fire with Fire (1984)", and Metallica's first song "Hit the Lights (1981)." This video is a great buy, and the DVD format must be of greater quality, but hey VHS does the trick for me.

The concert footage is a great time capsule, and it's well worth the reasonable asking price.  It's a true representation of the classic line-up Moodies live, and although (as others have mentioned) they could be a little rough there's wonderful energy here, a true "live" performance by a band that looks a little intimidated at the magnitude of the event they're performing at.  As such there's a nervous enthusiasm that's very fun to watch. (Kind of amusing to see that they're apparently using the Who's and Jethro Tull's speaker stacks, at least that's what stenciled on them).  I wish the performance material was completely untouched, especially the "Ride my See-Saw" encore.  Instead it's been made into a montage of various clips of the song played by the band through the years.  It breaks the "time and place" ambiance, but as mentioned in other reviews perhaps the Isle of Wight footage wasn't complete.  Small quibble, and the opening new interviews, especially with Mike Pinder at the mellotron are very worthwhile.

+"Move On" sports a drum and guitar that brings into mind a cowboy on a galloping horse.  The places he mentions such as Africa and Cyprus are where he might his ideal girl.  The weird midsection came from some tape in a Revox machine that got twisted.  Bowie thought it was cool and played it backwards, adding harmony vocals.  It goes "Waiyah hoo" and the source is "All The Young Dudes" from Diamond Dogs.  Nice guitarwork by Carlos Alomar, Tony Visconti, and Adrian Belew.

"Stinkfist" pounds away like nothing that has come out of your speakers. "Aenema" sinks its rage before exploding in glory and "Third Eye" brings it all back home. A true masterpiece.

I can say that Stevie Nicks In Concert from 1982 is a truly ausome video! It  was worth every penny I spent on it, and I just keep watching it over and  over again! The highlights of the video for me are Outside the Rain/Dreams  , Stop Draggin My Heart Around ,  Edge of 17 , and Rhiannon. Stevie Nicks  sure had her same "mystical gypsy" look with chiffon and shawls  but she showed her "stuff" a little more in the early 80's. The  skirts were shorter, usually white ,and she was way thinner. I was  surprised to see Stevie in the very short black mini-skirt in "Stop  Draggin My Heart Around" , which I must say that Tom Petty sounds way  better than Waddy Wachtel.  No matter how Stevie looks I love her for her  music and lyrics which are SO fabulous!  It  is a very cool video! She does  an outstanding performance  , with GREAT vocals and music. The music on  "Gold Dust Woman" couldv'e been better  but the vocals were  GREAT! Just not the same without Lindsey I guess! Stevie gets chokey in  this video , especially in Rhiannon when she actually cries. Buy this  video! You won't regret it! ~Chris~

+2388	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Ok, somehow I missed Pink Floyd. I've still never heard "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety. But lately, I've been noticing certain songs like "Comfortably Numb" and "Wish You Were Here." And they are GOOD. This DVD came out of a local library and I was stunned by the visuals. Really trippy. Now I know why people used to say Pink Floyd was a great headphone band. Everybody is really old now in this film, but they can still play great. I'm going back into Pink Floyd to see what else I've missed all these years.
+I have been only a casual Pink Floyd fan up until seeing this DVD. Although a concert DVD without Roger Waters in the band is not as good as any performance with him would be, David Gilmour is a genius, and he is well worth the focus of your attention. The actual quality of the production of the film itself is what makes this performance so incredible. It sounds and feels like you are inside the concert hall when viewing the DVD and I find myself wanting to watch it over and over again. This DVD has inspired me to go back and complete my Pink Floyd CD collection as each era of the band is special, and while I hope for a reunion with Roger and David soon, I will more than enjoy this 1994 performance for a long time to come.

The special features include 4 bootleg performances including excellent renditions of "On The Turning Away," "Poles Apart," and "What Do You Want From Me."  The bootleg performance of "Marooned" does not contain any shots of the band playing.  There is also a special feature of Billy Corgan inducting Pink Floyd into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and then performing "Wish You Were Here" with Gilmour and Wright.  Those are the best special features included in the package.  There needs to be some Pink Floyd concert DVDs released from their 70s period with the classic lineup of Gilmour, Wright, Mason, and Waters.  I know that there is footage from that period because there are little bits included on the Classic Albums: Dark Side of the Moon.  Who knows if any of these shows will ever be released though since there is so much anger between Gilmour and Waters now.  It's a shame because while I like Gilmour better than Waters, the two of them produced better music together.  But getting back to the Pulse DVD, this is a real treat for all Pink Floyd fans and so far the best and only true concert DVD of the band.

Teaming with well written and "Smooth" artists of the current rock scene, Carlos has crafted an eminently enjoyable CD.  Yeah, a few lines may seem hokey, but this has the precision feel of an older Steely Dan album combined with a little latin taste (it is NOT Tito Puente kind of latin) and an array of talent.  I like his old stuff, I like this too.  You probably will as well!

+For those of you not familiar with this album, it was released in 1982 to wide critical acclaim. The lush production and strong songwriting make it, in my opinion, one of Elvis' best and most certainly his most intelligent. The album's been a part of my life for 16 years and I know the thing backwards and forwards. The moody "Beyond Belief." The epic, beautiful "Man out of Time." The latin-tinged, accordian-fueled "Long Honeymoon." Steve Neive's psychotic orchestrations on "...and in Every Home." And that's just part of side one.

+1585	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I was very eager to see this documentary, and it did not disappoint. Despite it being filmed in 1991, it is still worth seeing because by that stage the the Moody Blues had achieved over 30 years of success. The documentary features a mix of interviews and videos. It was fascinating listening to Justin Hayward describe the early days and how songs were created. He even performs an acoustic version of "Tuesday afternoon".  The DVD contains about 10 videos in their entirety, including the original videos of "Nights in white satin", and "I'm just a singer". The remaining videos are from the later years except for the remix of "Question". I am pleased to have all of these videos now im my library, but would have liked to see more videos from the early days, or even early concert footage.  Perhaps some footage from the famous Isle of Whyte concert in 1970.

+9844	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The first half of "Low" is original and cutting edge stuff. Lyrics that could mean anything serve as a Rorhshach for the listener to make out of them as he wishes. The music is wonderfully avant garde-short,  dynamic pieces that stick with you long after the cd is over. If you liked  Gary Numan's "Cars", you will have a fair idea of what this album  is like-new sounding even years after its release. This is "New  Wave" at its best. I must have played these songs hundreds of times.  The second half of the CD is not as successful as the first. After the fast  paced, quick changing, break necked pace of side one (on the record album),  side two contains long, brooding pieces full of synthesizer  and odd  vocalising. Some of it is enjoyable, some of it I never returned to after  two or three listens. Essential Bowie. This was made when he was interested  in and able to produce strikingly original records.

My cartridge actually skidded across the paper label because the end groves were too weak to keep it in check.  That has never happened on any record I have ever owned--until now.  But the artwork, oh the artwork. And the lyrics, and the vibe that comes with it all.  That is what you are buying the album for.  Seriously, do not play this record.  You will do much better on iTines or MOG.  But if you are a Z fan you have to have the cover.

The album was, of course, in many ways a return to Costello's original starting point, after the, for me, very disappointing "Almost Blue" album. Compared to "Trust" and "Get Happy" , though,  the numbers are generally more produced, and stylistically the album spreads out over many genres.

+Oh, and before I go I gotta say the editing in general is a bit poor for those interested in the techicality of making the music. As someone who loves Dave Gilmor's artistry with the guitar I found the shots were way too short of Dave. And rarely did they focus on his hands while playing except for when it was just simple pieces. When he is on the slide guitar for instance, most of the shots are dedicated to the light show. Great to look at sure, but I would have preferred looking at Dave get right into the music and make those 'guitar expessions' when he gets to the high notes. I just don't think the editing was really in synch with the feel of the songs.
+Furtwngler was treated relatively well by the Nazis; he had a high profile, and was an important cultural figure, as evidenced by his inclusion in the Gottbegnadeten list ("God-gifted List") of September 1944 (however, his name was removed from the list on December 7, 1944 because of his relationships with German resistance[22]). During the war, he tried to avoid conducting in occupied Europe as much as possible. In particular, he categorically refused to go to France during the occupation of this country, although the Nazis tried to force him to conduct there.[23]  [24]  [25] However, he conducted in Prague in 1940 and again in March 1944 in a concert marking the fifth anniversary of the German occupation[26] where he played Slavonic music (M vlast (My Country) of Bedich Smetana in 1940 and the Symphony No. 9 of Antonn Dvok in 1944) and in Oslo in 1943 where he helped the Jewish conductor Issay Dobrowen to flee to Sweden.[27] His concerts were often broadcast to German troops to raise morale, though he was limited in what he was allowed to perform by the authorities. He later said he tried to protect German culture from the Nazis;[28] it is now known that he used his influence to help Jewish musicians and non-musicians escape the Third Reich.[17]   [29]  [30] He managed, for example, to have Max Zweig, a nephew of conductor Fritz Zweig, released from Dachau concentration camp. Others, from an extensive list of Jews he helped, included Carl Flesch, Josef Krips and the composer Arnold Schnberg.[31] Goebbels wrote in two entries of his diary in 1937 that Furtwngler was constantly helping Jews, "half-Jews" and "his small Hindemith".[32]

Bands like Radiohead and Tool have the critical and commercial success they should have yet there's a feeling that they're "overrated", most likely brought on by constant chatter of how they're one of the best bands in rock. But when you have Aenima, Tool's 2nd full-length, I wouldn't say they're the best band today but they're certainly consistent. Btw: I won't bother with the so-called "filler" tracks.

If you want to see Nicks sing her heart out in clear Dolby Digital 5.1....get the new 2004 release of Fleetwood Mac live in Boston...this DVD is as bad as anything I have ever seen.  The only reason it deserves one star is for her live performance of "Has Anybody Ever Written Anything For You".

The Rap improvizations get a little tiresome and I have to say sometimes "Bob Marley didn't write that part".  Ziggy Marley is in top top form and for that reason I rate it 5 stars rather than 3 or 4.  I also really liked Tracy Chapman's performances as it looks like she is really enjoying herself and she has a great voice.  Ben Harper does a nice version of Get Up, Stand Up and Darius Rucker belts out a spirited version of War.  The bonus features make it well worth the price.

+One sign of a very good system (and you need an amplifier, sources and speakers capable of revealing this level of resolution - no BOSE systems need apply - I'm not a snob, I just have heard many of them and owners are not getting the sound quality that BOSE promotes.) is being able to hear layers of the soundstage, if there is enough aural information being presented.  The sound on Bowie's "Reality Tour" DVD is so-so.  The sound on this DVD (I have the 2003 version, which I just purchased) is really layered.

It's not my favorite song, excactly, I'm mostly into blues music, but I still think it's an amazing piece of work, right up there with "Stairway To Heaven" and "Hey Jude".

This track deals with one of my favorite themes - organized religion and its futility, and if you're even mildly religiously inclined you may be put off by Imogen's lyrics. While Fiona and Tori play to the woe-is-me crowd, Imogen strikes out at society and the establishment, and is a more pertinent role model for wannabe rebels, in my opinion.

As only one of less than 1500  minority students of all races at a university that had over 40,000 students on its main campus, I felt as powerless and as insignificant as a gnat facing down a 100 watt light bulb. But then the word came down that Nikki Giovanni would be performing her poetry at the student union. I got to hear the sister speak live the words that I had repeated over and over as I listened to the albums on my record player. It was so good to be in a room full of folks like me who could speak every word of the poetry we had memorized as we played the albums over and over, time and again. The sister was church, a soulful experience. The gospel of Bernard Diggs and the New York Community Choir, the power of Sister Nikk's poetry made my small, cramped dorm space bearable. Nikki Giovanni, along with Dick Gregory, made the experience of being a speck of color in a sea of white bearable. Her poetry renewed my strength, gave me courage, and made me want to get past all the hurts and insults too often black students on all white campuses had to endure in those early days when we were the first vanguard of blacks that walked through the doors the civil rights movement had opened just a crack. And now years later I am a professor of English. I use the sister's peotry as often as I can, both Truth is on Its Way and Like a Ripple on a Pond. They are my most vibrant teaching tools as examples of free verse, imagery, rhyme and meter. I am happy to say that it is my younger white students who are the most swept up in the spirit after hearing How I Got Over or a Ripple on a Pond for the first time. I get the same reply, "Don't turn that off. I want to hear the whole CD." I am glad I can tell them where they can get it. Lord knows, a sister is tired of making copies.

The 2-channel audio track is horrible.  Video quality is alright, but the camera work is also subpar.  I could overlook these annoyances if it was a great performance.  However, it seemed that Cross was struggling through the songs, occasionally off key, and having alot of difficulty with transitions.  For me, the transitions were what made his studio work unbelievable in the early 80's.  I couldn't even get through the entire concert in one sitting.  For the die hard Cross fan, this DVD may be an appropriate purchase.  However, for others, there are other concert DVDs that would be more enjoyable.

+Bruce kicks his melancholy and downbeat attitude up a few notchs with "Born in the U.S.A." Though the cynicism and dillusionment of his past work is still present on this album, he covers it up with polished, pop beats. Some fans might cringe at the use of synthesizers and keyboards by Bruce, but he was ready to show the world he could release commerically successful music that people could dance to without changing his lyrics or messages (he hinted at this with the song "hungry heart" on the 1980 album "The River"). I mean, he released over five albums of straight ahead singer/songwriter rock, he felt it was time to try something new and make a change, so he released a pop/rock dance album. It attracted new fans in hordes and hit the charts hard.

+You might be asking yourself, if this guy is so critical of so many aspects of this DVD, then why on earth did he give it four stars? Well, its because despite its faults, it is still an entertaining blast from the past. Today, many who were thought of as uncool by the succeeding generation are seen of as cool once more. Frank Sinatra's popularity today cuts across a number of generational divides. Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr have both benefitted as well by their association with Sinatra and Rat Pack glamor. Lee Hazlewood enjoys cult status with a huge number of up and coming alt rock and alt country musicians looking to him for inspiration. And Nancy? While not wildly popular, she continues on the club circuit today satisfying a fan base that just seems to be growing.

+5464	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album was released at a time when Cohen was almost forgotten, about seven years before the tribute albums "I'm Your Fan" and "Tower Of Song" would spur renewed interest in his oeuvre. Warnes' interpretations are always graceful and moving. She understands Cohen's music well, having done backing vocals on some of his albums like "Various Positions," and she covers his songs with loving dedication. My favorites include "Aint No Cure" (from Cohen's I'm Your Man), Coming Back To You (from Various Positions), Came So Far For Beauty (from Recent Songs) and of course the formidable Joan Of Arc where Cohen himself sings some of the verses. Her voice is the perfect vehicle for his poetic lyrics of romantic longing and despair, and my only complaint is that I would have loved to hear her interpretations of Suzanne and Sisters Of Mercy too.

Far more interesting is Jethro Tull's performance with Ian Anderson prefiguring the grunge look by 25 years in his long overcoat, wild hair and beard. Tull's unique jazz/blue/celtic/rock fusion has held up quite well over the years. Taj Mahal's earthy performance with his electric blues band is riveting, but future heroin causality Jesse "Ed" Davis looks pallid despite his sizzling slide and lead guitar. The Who rule the "Rock and Roll Circus" with an inspired rendition of "A Quick One" complete with a turbo charged performance by Keith Moon where he mugs it up and breaks (by my count) five or six sets of drumsticks. The Stones hit the stage to close the show and it's jarring to see a lackluster perfomance from the world's greatest rock and roll band. They all look fatigued and Brian Jones looks like he's just waiting for someone to write his obituary. This was a very bad time in Rolling Stones land. It turned out to be Brian's last performance in public with the Stones.

Also, "Willie the Pimp, part two" (the instrumental jam introduction to "Do You Like My New Car?") that FZ mysteriously left off the 80s CD is restored in all its brief magnificence.

+2147	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is one of at least three excellent albums from Black Sabbath with Tony Martin on vocals ("Eternal Idol" and "Tyr" are my other two favorites). "Cross Purposes" was the third Sabbath reunion in a row between 1990 and 1994.  First, Tony Iommi dismissed Martin in 1990 to reunite with Ronnie James Dio and release the "Dehumanizer" album.  Next, Dio left since Tony planned to do a one-off reunion with Ozzy for what was intended to be his last concert before retiring.  After that short-lived excursion with Ozzy, Iommi reunited with Martin to release "Cross Purposes," which many consider to be the best overall album with Martin singing.  My personal favorite is "Tyr," but it's hard to argue against "Cross Purposes."  The Tony's were both ON for this one.  Iommi riffs away like a man possessed, which is really no surprise when you look at "Tyr" and "Dehumanizer," the two preceding albums.  Tony went back to real heavy metal on "Tyr" after a few hard rock-oriented albums, and "Cross Purposes" continues the trend in grand fashion.  He offers a good mix of riffs that cover all the bases.  Some are slow and doom-drenched, some in the faster post-Ozzy style, some mellow and bluesy.  This is a strongly guitar-driven album with no filler.

+4764	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	A fine CD from the masters of a genre they created all their own.  High expectations abounded with this long time fan, and I was not disappointed.  This very enjoyable CD has the Dan sound that I have grown to love.  New-to-Dan listeners will probably think this belongs in the 'smooth jazz'  section of their collection (and having only heard cuts from this on my  local smooth jazz station, I am starting to wonder the fate of the  world...), however older Dan fans like moi will find something to enjoy on  it.  NO, it is NOT a rehash of any stuff from their pre-Aja times.  In some  weird way, what I was kind of hoping for was, like many reviewers, some  sort of 'sound' from the classic Steely Dan past.  But then again, I would  probably have been disappointed in some way with any half-baked rehash of  'The Royal Scam or 'King of the World' - so that leaves us with what Becker  and Fagan give us today.
+This is no Progressive Rock yet. The sound is rather harsh and juvenile but the songs are catchy and the riffs and melodies stick in your head. You can hear that this material is the foundation for "Aenima"'s powerful and frustrating atmosphere. Although this EP might not be that interesting for those of you who don't know Tool's later works yet, I would highly recommend it to any Tool fan.

+8. In My Room
+Gizmodgery, another Self project, is also a good album, but the fact that it's as experimental as it is just makes it a little less open to the average listener.
+This movie was shot very well. The serenity of the setting was well juxtaposed with the craziness of the escalating storyline. It was directed well enough. I suppose my main concern was not knowing the subtext. What was the director trying to say? There were some vague references to abortion, Chinese viruses/ medicine and the different way the two families chose to raise their kids and run their households. This was exacerbated by the fact I couldn't make out some of the dialogue. I have a very good surround system and either the movie's sound wasn't mixed well or I simply couldn't work the British accents. But one way or the other some important things got past me.
+Some of the lyrics from these tunes became essential phraseology for the keepers of the faith, those that locked into this incarnation of Zappa's band.  From Camarillo Brillo, it was: "Is that a real poncho or a Sears poncho?" and "We did it till we were unconcho, and it was useless anymore".  From Dina-moe-humm, it was: "How 'bout you, Fauna, ya wanna?" and "Sounds like you're chokin' on somethin'."  And of course, "Gonna be a mental toss flycoon" from Montana.

+For some reason, the Eagles are loathed by most alt-country and "progressive" country bands - probably stemming from Gram Parsons' and several prominent rock critics' dislike of them - while being embraced by many current Country Radio artists and fans. Emmylou Harris and Chris Hillman don't even like the term "country-rock" and look like you poo-pooed on their cowboy boots if it's mentioned to describe their music (they prefer Parsons' term "Cosmic American Music" - which I don't think will ever catch on). But to be honest, Gram must have been a little envious of the radio play the Eagles were getting, while he was getting virtually none. Current Country artists, such as Toby Keith, certainly have more in common with the Eagles (at least Henley and Frey) when it comes to arrogance and the personal dislikability factor.

+4. Message In A Bottle
+Overall, I'm not sure how these guys get dismissed as an artistically oriented collective. This is an excellent time capsule of the fun-loving footsteps of hip-hop that unfortunately was pushed aside for more violent overtones, bling, and lyrics filled with misogyny. On the other side of the coin, these pioneers never sold out to what their mainstream counterparts heckled them for. They have always relied on a good-natured, positive formula that kept their sound original and unscathed to this very day. Make no mistake about it, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince were two of the best to ever do it.
+This is certainly the release that you can listen to and hear how it all began.  Mixed and remastered from the original source tapes by Fiedel himself, this certainly is a wonderful gift from Milan records and Nicolas Winding Refn.  I now have that missing score and it sounds great.  There are 17 tracks on the CD release that gives you a running time of 1 hour and 9 minutes.  The CD comes in a digipak, just like the earlier Robocop release, and if you want all the extra goodies...better pick it up on vinyl.  I recommend!
+Also cruising in high-skills territory are bassist Pino Palladino, drummer Zak Starkey, guitarist Simon (brother of Pete) Townshend and keyboardist John Rabbit Bundrick. Playing in a less-assertive manner than Entwistle, Palladinos bass work is flawless, and Starkey gives one of his greatest performances while presiding over his double-bass drum kit.

+If you will bear with me I am going to address the age old argument about whether this is really Pink Floyd, without Roger Waters on stage.  It is true that Waters wrote all the great lyrics and came up with the concepts.  However, the classic "Pink Floyd sound" has little to do with Waters.  It is David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason.  Here is a direct quote from Waters in Musician magazine in 1992: "I was never a bass player. I've never played anything. I play guitar a bit on the records and would play bass, because I sometimes want to hear the "sound" I make when I hit a string on a bass with a pick or my finger; it makes a different sound than anybody else makes, to me. But I've never been interested in playing the bass. I'm not interested in playing instruments and I never have been..."  In fact, Gilmour played bass on a lot of the studio recordings (One Of These Days, Pigs, to mention a few)!  So there you have it folks.  Yes, this IS Pink Floyd playing Pink Floyd music, with lyrics by Roger Waters.  Give Roger his due, but it is absolute rubbish to say that these guys are not Floyd witout Waters. End of rant.

+4574	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I really don't get where some of the other reviews for this video/ DVD are coming from, saying that it's a good 'sleeping aid' or things of this nature.  A big part of what makes the "Aja" album such a landmark is the way it put to use such spellbinding musicianship from a long list of different players, and the sophisticated elegance and beauty of the songs themselves--this really IS fascinating stuff, even though many fans unfortunately don't seem to give a damn, and if that's the case, I don't know why they are bothering with this DVD in the first place.  Another reviewer commented that you've got to really LOVE Steely Dan to really enjoy this DVD--well you know what, people do love Steely Dan and for good reason--if you come to this DVD expecting mindless entertainment to watch while you throw back a few beers, you're out of your mind.  This DVD gives you a thrilling peek into the making of the album, demonstrating some of the musical techniques that were used--the way the bass was doubled on guitar on "Josie", and the layering of Michael McDonald's background vocals on "Peg" to point out a couple examples.  McDonald gives a highly intriguing, if ever-so-slightly derogatory discussion of his performance on "Peg", and you also get great interview/ performance segments from Chuck Rainey, Rick Marotta, Dean Parks, Denny Dias, and Bernard Purdie, as well as great segments from guitarist/ arranger Larry Carlton, producer Gary Katz, master engineer Roger Nichols, and of course, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker themselves.  Also, the appearance of the late Ian Dury is a shock (he died right around the time this DVD was released), although not an unpleasant one--it's quite strange since he wasn't at all involved in the making of the album, nor is he even someone you associate in the slightest with the West Coast pop-rock scene of the 1970s.  The interviews with Fagen and Becker and seeing them dissecting the tracks... GREAT stuff--priceless, really.  Fagen & Becker for once go easy on their supreme sarcasm and are shown in great spirit, great humor, and are even movingly reflective at times--wonderfully intimate stuff from a true genius team.  All that said, any TRUE Dan fan will indeed appreciate this DVD and LOVE having it in their collection.  On the other side of the coin, there are some drawbacks to the DVD for sure.  For one thing, it's rather scattershot--Becker mentions early in the DVD how the only other original Steely Dan member still working with them by the time of "Aja" was guitarist Denny Dias, and then, over halfway through the DVD, they get back on the topic of Dias, discussing how they hooked up with him which ultimately lead to the beginning of Steely Dan.  They do basically move from one song to the next, but the sequencing could have been a lot better.  However, this would have been a virtually ignorable issue had this DVD been more thorough.  Quite frankly, this DVD left me hungry for more--it's painfully far off from being fully comprehensive.  As other reviewers have already stated, the fact that drummer Steve Gadd's name isn't even mentioned in the DVD is a damn shame indeed, and that's just for starters.  I wish there was even more interview stuff with McDonald, Nichols, Dias, etc...  So, in the end, the DVD does leave me a little unsatisfied, but I'm still thrilled with the great stuff that it does offer, and I think any serious Steely Dan fan ought to feel the same.
+Released in the summer of 1989, Ghetto Music: The Blueprint of Hip-Hop was the third studio album from Boogie Down Productions.  The music is crisp and thick with rhythm.  Sonically, Ghetto Music is slightly less up-tempo than both Criminal Minded and By All Means Necessary.  KRS-One flaunts his reggae influence more than ever with this album, and even incorporates more live instruments on several songs.

+I knew that Weilands voice wouldnt be an issue, as he has the ability to fit in with any vocal style out there in the rock world. My worries were that it would be a re-hash of Guns n Roses with a different singer, which was not what I wanted to hear. What we got instead was great rhythms and melodies throughout the music, mixed with Scott's awesome vocals, creating an unmissable mix. Plenty of people on here have slagged off the production, which is a very good mix to me. Its not over produced, nothings compressed or held back. Its also allowed an edge that gives it rawness without it being trashy. The producers background really has nothing to do with his ability to work with non-nu metal, and I think he's done an admirable job of allowing each instruments to shine, while not over-emphacising the vocals as many producers have a tendancy to do.

The uptempo minor-keyed title track is spellbinding--the chorus is raging; Idol does his trademark alterations between a baritone croon and blood-curdling screams; Stevens riffs away frenetically; and the chimey synths don't water the song down at all, in fact they help make it even edgier. The part where all the instruments fall out except for the drums, then it slowly builds all the way back up, with Stevens' chilling, atmospheric guitarwork--that's rock & roll nirvana.

In that 4'11'' body of hers, she has alot of strength and courage for taking all the risks and chances that she did in order to get off the streets and make something of herself.  Laced with production mostly from Puffy and the late Biggie Smalls (as well as guest appearances from them and the entire Junior M.A.F.I.A.) the tracks on 'Hardcore' tell the story of a woman's struggle from the slums all the way to the mic and stage.

(Hint: Any security feature is just an inconvenience that can be swatted away like an annoying fly...all you need to do is Google the words "Velvet Revolver, Contraband, security, disable" and the truth shall set you free!) Velvet Revolver have decided that most of the public must be crooks and will pirate their music. The CD won't copy to your computer unless you use the copying software that is included with the CD (unless you're smart enough to over-ride the security feature (see Google advice above). Contraband will only copy to your computer at a low bit rate (as opposed to "audio lossless"), and what really sucks is once you download the CD to your computer it allows for only 3 burns per song (unless you bybass the security feature/see Google advice above). If you are like me and you regularly update your compilation CDs, 3 burns per song is unacceptable and I'd be through my limit in half a year if I didn't figure out how to bybass the stupid feature.

Now that time has passed and others have chimed in I was curious what those that rated this 1 star had to say and their reasoning. Other than --Axl love/loyalty-- I can't find any qualified reasoning. This IS NOT GnR hence why it is titled SLASH! The present GNR is NOT GNR and if dishonesty is to be cited it should fall upon Axl. What made AFD what it was was Slash, Izzy, Axl and Duff in various but not equal parts. I have followed all of the mentioned solo works. I would say the balance of Izzy's more Rolling Stones and Slash's energy is probably the largest contributors to the music. Axl hired solid musicians to mimic what the band later did on the Use Your Illusion set and from that came Chinese Democracy. I enjoy it but it isn't GNR and if Axl had real balls and respect for his fans he would fly under the AXL ROSE banner rather than leach of the GUNS N ROSES name. Axl manipulated the others to sign over their rights to the name and band ---read the collective biographies--- which gives him LEGAL right to use GNR but it isn't and never will be without Slash, Duff and Izzy. I felt the need to point that out to those bashing Slash out of misplaced loyalty to Axl. A fan can appreciate BOTH but if you come to Axl, Slash, Izzy or Duff expecting AFD #2 you'll be disappointed.

Almost like he was trying to copy previous attempts but ran out of ideas. The "Featuring Billy Idol and Slash" thing is an absolute joke. Some how he got these guys to do an absolutely horrible version of In The Summertime. It's so bad it's hard to believe any one would put it on a CD other than to draw attention and sales from the names. Too bad, I had higher expectations from this guy.
+At his denazification trial, Furtwngler was charged with two official concerts for the period 1933-1945. The first concert was for the Hitler Youth on 3 February 1938. It was part of a long series of concerts presented to Furtwngler as a way to acquaint the rising generation with classical music. According to Fred Prieberg: "when he looked at the audience he realized that this was more than just a concert for school kids in uniform; a whole collection of prominent political figures were sitting there as well [...] and it was the last time he raised his baton for this purpose".[41] The second concert was a performance of Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nrnberg with the Vienna Philharmonic on 5 September 1938, on the evening before the Nazi congress in Nremberg.[42] Furtwngler agreed to conduct this concert to preserve the Viennese orchestra (the Nazis wanted to eliminate the orchestra) but required that the concert was not part of the nazi congress and this is why the political event only formally opened the following morning.[42] He was charged also with his honorific title of Staatsrat of Prussia (he had resigned from this title in 1934, but the Nazis had refused his resignation) and with making an anti-semitic remark against the part-Jewish conductor Victor de Sabata.[43]  [44] The judge started the trial with the following sentences:

+The performance is simply unbelievable. The whole band is clad in military surplus camo fatigues and shirts, maybe to make a strong, contrasting statement with the peace message they convey. Lyrics deal mostly with apartheid and peace. The gig is shot in a huge, crowded venue and people are totally captivated; a great atmos. Lucky's small, caressing voice is purposely mixed in low, which is a bless coz you can crank the sound up and feel the instrumentation without feeling shouted at, as is the case on many concert tapes. The bass groove is potent but purposely not overpowering and the drummer performs a combination of hi-hat and rimhots that is simply to die for. The guitar is not always heard when seen, but it screams during the solos.

+While their 45's did not garner much chart success after the initial blast, the tunes included here are very listenable and can no way be considered album filler as may be found in so many other albums based on a single hit. This two-fer combo of the Stompers' first two albums from Collectables contains these complete albums plus two bonus tracks in the form of their two other charting singles. This piece has been competently constructed with respectable sound quality and a brief musical backround of the group in the liner notes. The music here sounds as refreshing now as it did in its heyday and it is a welcome pleasure to have this music available in clean digital quality after years of laying dormant in Epic's vaults.

+Oh well. Thought The Ramones were fantasic too, but at least their catalog is done justice.
+One major reason is the overall sound. On many of the songs, orchestration is used to intensify the emotional anthems to higher levels than a piano will allow.

+4115	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Released in late Feb in Australia, I grabbed this off the shelfas soon as I saw it. Mitchell is really in her element here - a smallintimate venue ( one of the studios at Warners in LA) decorated with sofas and Mitchell's paintings. The band is just right - not too lush not too sparse. Drums, guitar/pedal steel, bass and trumpet and of course Mitchell herself on that new whizz bang guitar of her's which I think sounds great. She jokes with the audience, dances with one of her singers and tells a great story at the end about Woodstock, knitting and stars. As you would expect, most of the material is post Court and Spark except for Big Yellow taxi for openers and Woodstock in closing. Lots of wonderful stuff from Hejira and fortunately only one from her "I'm angry with the world, so lets write a silly song" repetoire.  Throughout the concert (a selection from two consecutive nights) Mitchell's singing is great; 'live' her voice seems fresher than on CD and though the upper register is shot to pieces, what's left is full of character, reveals more light and shade. Plus her phrasing is right on.  There are really no dud tracks here and I tend to just put it on as if it were a CD (nice and loud), popping back to the screen every now and then to watch the still beautiful woman do her stuff, though other times I sit down and just indulge in the whole 98 minutes of it. One particularly shining moment is Mitchell's cover of Marvin Gaye's Trouble Man. Its a heartfelt and beautifully sung version that reveals what a great singer Mitchell really is. It sends shivers up my spine everytime I replay. This video is a great introduction to what Mitchell has achieved over the last 20 years. It should send people out to snap up records like Hejira and Hissing of Summer Lawns not to mention more recent stuff. A perfect complement to this video would be Shadows and Light, the double live album that came out in the early eighties and featuring Jaco Pastorius on bass and other luminaries.

+Speak To Me 1987
+The case of Arnold Schoenberg is very telling here. Furtwaengler was reported to have only intervened for him so that he would not be made into a martyr by the Nazis. As this was reported by the Nazi-controlled press, the veracity of this statement is very much in doubt. Frau Schoenberg tells a much different story:  Furtwaengler visited them in Paris and offered to negotiate with the Nazis for the release of Schoenberg's assests. He expressed shame over what was being done to Schoenberg and asked them: "What shall I do now?" Schoenberg replied: "You must stay and conduct good music!" Max Reinhardt also urged him to remain.

+Brightman's demeanor during the concert is not charismatic, but the recorded interview at the end is a must-watch for fans who want to see another side of her personality. Her banter with a lion cub, while a tape of her haunting French song UN JOUR IL VIENDRA plays in the background, is priceless.

+This album was recorded with an early digital recorder, and is a textbook example of how good early digital recording can be if put in the right hands (i.e. Larry Rosen's).  All in all, a fantastic album that belongs in every contemporary jazz collection.
+Several facets of this production are noteworthy.  The film  masterfully captures the interplay between the band and the audience, long  one of the group's touring trademarks.  It also does a wonderful job of  documenting the three generation span of Moody Blues enthusiasts, scanning  the attendees to reveal middle aged grandparents in casual clothing,  twenty-something hippee wannabees, and some fully involved pre-teens, all  lost in the rapture of a major Moodies event.

+After Wring That Neck, the group goes into Concerto For Group and Orchestra. It is 55 minutes long. It is not much different than the original, except for some Steve Morse guitar solos. If you already have the original, this new version is not different enough to warrant buying this DVD.
+
+In any case, the band was clearly enjoying this show, and it's worth getting for the acoustic set, even though it's kind of short on the video compared to what they played live. With so little good footage of the Dead from the 70s, this remains one of the only documents of the tie - together with the Grateful Dead Movie, and especially the bonuses, and the Closing of Winterland. (The Closing of Winterland is a much better show, with a real strong setlist.) It's a shame that so little was filmed back then, especially in the great year of 1972. But we'll take what we can get.

What was wonderful about this tour (I was fortunate enough to have seen it live) was that it was very stripped down in terms of visuals...in fact there are barely any at all. This allowed David and the band to stretch out and jam when the mood hit. The only drawback I can think of is they didn't give us the full show. There were several numbers (Mahalis; Let's Get Metaphysical; You Know I'm Right; Money; etc) where Gilmour absolutely burned, and not including them is a complete shame.  Nonetheless there are many highlights for Gilmour fans to drool over (check out Murder where Mick Ralphs is steamrollered by Dave in the outro solos! It's like a Volkswagon facing off with a Sherman Tank!)

+I think BORN IN THE USA acknowledges the divisions in America, and nostalgizes the character's "Glory Days" only to point out the character's growing disconnect from society.  They all feel that they were part of something bigger--a family, a team, a friendship, a platoon, a job--but now they don't have that connection.  Springsteen said, when talking about NEBRASKA, that isolation was the most dangerous thing in the world.  BORN IN THE USA is full of characters who understand that, and worry that they are becoming isolated.

This is a man who lucidly sees (by wiping that third eye painfully clean) all of the distorted and grotesque elements in  contemporary society and states it in a truly shocking (and psyche  altering) fashion.  He called it "my comedic Dark Side of the  Moon" and it truly lives up to that description;  this a dying man who  smashes with wide eyed force and brutal honesty every icon that is held  sacred.  The old saying "there is nothing more dangerous than a man  with nothing to lose" comes to mind here.  Hicks knew he was dying and  did not even attempt to try to placate his audience with the  "jokes" he flung out to his audience in his earlier works.  The  only relevant comedian of the 90s;  and the most obscure.  The vultures  that took the "safe" elements of his act (Denis Leary) are  child's play compared to this album.  I am not exaggerating when I state  this is the best spoken word album of the 1990s.  Shiva the Destroyer he  was, and I miss him greatly.  Any comparison to Lenny Bruce or George  Carlin is a farce;  this man put his lifeforce on the line.  Go to your  karmic reward, brother, you truly deserved it.

The album was originally supposed to be a rock-opera version of George Orwell's "1984."  Though Orwell's estate put a halt to  the plan, "Diamond Dogs" is barely disguised and only slightly diluted.

It just so happened to be the weekend that Leon Russell was in concert at the Neil Blaisdell arena, Leon was with the Shelter people back then and played a grand piano. The stage was circular and went round and round so everyone could view the band. Later in the show Leon jumped up on his piano, grabbed his Les Paul guitar and brought the house down. The crowd was molten lava with red lights and all...of course the acid we took that night helped a bit. Then some 35 years later I had another lucky shot at seeing this legendary musician in concert at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel...It was a totally acoustic concert with his friend Willie Nelson...I even got both of their autographs on the back of my ticket stub.

"Low" gave Bowie the space to swing as hard towards an avant-garde as he could, with Eno more than happy to pave the way.
+The CD is one of the prominent ones that Alison jokes about in which her lead vocals are predominantly on beautiful but sorrowful ballads like "Deeper Than Crying" and "Find My Way Back to my Heart."  These tracks are beautiful and they're NOT "straight bluegrass" for you purists - Ron Block trades in his trusty 5-string for some tasty acoustic guitar work and these are closer to folk or even just "unplugged pop" than to bluegrass.

This song actually appears immediately after the previous song ends, so if you're not paying attention (in other words, not watching the digital time or track number on your CD player) you'll never recognize when it officially starts up.
+It was a single like no other:  a searing, intense minor key lament that featured a memorable electric guitar opening, pulsing organ and an amazing new instrument in the form of the voice of Eric Burdon. Strong, loud, howling at times, Burdon's delivery was unlike anything heard on Top 40 radio and made their version a definitive classic despite its being sung on the folk circuit by everybody from Joan Baez and Bob Dylan to Woodie Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Andy Griffith. The group's producer, Mickie Most, hadn't even wanted them to record it, much less release it as a single. It was totally counterintuitive to the short, bright thing a single was supposed to be. But it defied expectations and reached #1 for three weeks between Where Did Our Love Go and Oh, Pretty Woman. It seemed to be played constantly and totally dominated the airwaves.
+After a year of convoluted adventures and widespread disbelief that anything would come of this band, Velvet Revolver has released CONTRABAND.  The band members "say" it is not meant to compete with Axel Rose or the promise of CHINESE DEMOCRACY.

+Pulse was originally issued on VHS, and it took 12 years to make it to DVD.  I am glad it made the journey to my mailbox in DVD.  However, the live concerts shot during the tour for "Momentary Lapse of Reason", currently only available in VHS, was shot on 35mm film and is just the ticket.  Here's hoping that gets the first class DVD treatment and makes it way to hungry Floydians across the galaxy soon!
+The remastered sound is great and the booklet very informative (much more so than the version released with the Ryko reissue). Is it worth picking up again? Frankly, yes because of the second disc. While EC has relocated the bonus tracks to the second disc, he's also added a handful of previously unreleased or rare tracks that make this an essential edition to any fan.
+My only complaint is that the video mastering doesn't seem very consistent in spots. The brightness and hue levels seem to be slightly different between several of the shorts. "It's Oh So Quiet" is extremely out of wack, with contrast levels that aren't correct at all.  I know the aperture of the lens was stopped down for the down tempo moments in the piece and then back up for the chorus each time, but the overall settings are very hot and overly saturated like the telecine to digital transfer was all off, or something.  I have a Muchmusic Spotlight collection on VHS and it actually looks more natural on the tape than on this DVD. I also don't recall my DVD, which just arrived a few days ago, having a PAL side. I'm wondering if I received a discontinued first issue of the 2003 version of Volumen. Possibly these quirks have been fixed.  Maybe the rest of you can let me know.

+The first Green Energy set consists entirely of backbends. Ana begins with several repetitions of cobra pose, coming into a held cobra and then moving the head up and down in cobra. This is followed by sphinx pose with BOF. Next, Ana returns to cobra (option to stay with sphinx pose), this time with bent legs and lifting alternating arms to the front at shoulder level--this is VERY challenging! After a brief rest, Ana repeats the previous posture, lifting arms overhead. Next, she performs locust pose, raising the upper body only with BOF, and bow, adding in an optional rocking motion. Ana transitions to her back by rocking and rests via holding the legs at 90 before coming into wheel pose with BOF, which she holds for 30 seconds (option to lift the pelvis only into bridge).

+The keyboard and synthesiser effects that bands like Pink Floyd and others used in their works from the late 60's and early 70's can be heard on this record. That makes it even more interesting. "The Note You Never Wrote" features that on its intro. But it can be considered musically like one of the low points of the album, because of its lack of harmonic variations. Denny Laine, however, provides a great lead vocal, as he does with his own composition "Time To Hide", a rocker featuring an amazingly strong organ part and prominent backing vocals by Linda McCartney. The "Long Haired Lady" even gets to sing a song: the weak "Cook Of The House". It was kind of a joke that Paul actually decided to put this on one of his albums. He knew what the reaction of the critics would be... they never accepted her as "qualified enough" to be a member of an ex-Beatle band... How come they would accept her singing, and even going clearly out of tune on a song with such stupid lyrics. I think it was totally intentional, as this album's main message was "I'm making my music, I'm being the number one at the time... I'm making people happy... what's wrong with that?". Linda sounds awful. Maybe another song of hers could have been chosen for the album ("Oriental Nightfish", "Wide Prairie", "Seaside Woman"), if the purpose was to let her sing. She had better songs.
+Yes.  And a hugely positive one.  Like SHINE ON BRIGHTLY and A SALTY DOG, HOME  ends with a song that solves the Zen riddle of why life is like a beanstalk  -- but with a special twist for the specific problem of coming to terms  with your own mortality.  Earlier we learned that "there is no maze to  unwind;" the hidden truth about life is that there is no hidden truth.  In "Your Own Choice," our narrator realizes that there *is* no  coming to terms with your mortality -- which paradoxically, is how you *do*  come to terms with it.  You must lose faith in humanity to have any faith  at all.

I was reminded how great Paul McCartney's sophomore solo album really is. Nearly everything is played and sung by him, and this has got to be the best one-man band imaginable. From terrific rockers like "Too Many People" and "Smile Away" to the whimsy of "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" (pulled from the album as a single and hitting No. 1) and "Monkberry Moon Delight", all of the tracks are first rate. Lyrically Paul McCartney is really at the top of his game here. Vocally McCartney is also at his best; he performs some amazing vocal gymnastics. On

+8521	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Released in '92, Tool had compiled their heaviest songs onto an EP that was released just a year before their first album Undertow. Strange thing is, while these songs are heavy and great, it would later work against them. Tool never were a metal band persay.  They were heaped into the category because of this EP, and that's why when they changed their sound a bit on Lateralus, the metal fans who like this band were shaking their heads. It sure is refreshing to here the angst ridden simpilicity of this album compared to later more complex and well produced efforts. Not that their latter albums are bad, far from it, but it's nice to see where the band started out, their roots and beginings. The songs are pretty similar, Maynard's views on Christinanity on Opiate are anything but rosie. Opiate along with Hush and the two live tracks are my favorites on the album. I don't really care for Sweat despite it's great lyrics, the song is nothing special. The same can be said for Part of me, which for some reason Tool included on their live CD Salival.
+There can be no question that after Sandy left Fairport (post Liege n Lief), she was just never the same on vinyl. The Fotheringay album was interesting, promising, as was her effort with Fairport when she rejoined (despite what many think was Glyn Johns too-slick production). But compare Fotheringay's only release or Rising For the Moon to her work on "What We Did on Our Summer Holidays". Or just listen to her sing Genesis Hall on "Unhalfbricking". Sandy's voice went downhill- why, who knows? Probably drinking, smoking (I actually don't know if she smoked), having a good time, etc. You can't be 21 forever you know.

+By far, the best song here is "Rebel Rebel", a tune with a hard-edged guitar done by Alan Parker and not by Bowie as has been formerly thought, and a Stones-like crunch.  The 70's gender-ambiguity is shown in "not sure if you're a boy or a girl."  This criminally flopped in the US, but reached #5 on the UK charts.  Joan Jett covered this and it shows up on her Flashback compilation.
+  When I first heard this song, I was amazed at how nice it was and I wondered if she had released it as a single. I found out that she did and I always wanted to see the video. I finally got the chance when I got this home video. The video features Madonna, in a short black wig, as an actress in a Japanese film. My favorite scene is wear she is standing between to thin walls that have water flowing down them. It's a real nice scene.
+Many were also R&B chart cross-overs, and most of the songs presented here were distributed by the small independent labels springing up all across the U.S. in the period covered (1954 - 1963). Most simply did not have the funds for publicity and promotion at the disposal of giants like Columbia (and their Okeh and Epic subsidiaries) and RCA, the mid-range outfits like Atlantic, Roulette and Scepter, or even some of the better-known small operations such as Swan, Guyden and Josie.

Roy Orbison and severla perfromers at the Conut Grove, pefroming this concert. But sadly since this concert, Conut Grove, was demolished. And Roy Orbison had died of a heart attack a year after doing this concert. Roy Orbison sings sings song like Only The Lonely, Candy Man, Sweet Dreams Baby (How Long Must I dream), Claudette, and Oh, Pretty Woman. If you want to see Roy Orbison, peforming in concert, in your home, this will be it, because there no other live recordings of Roy Orbison. Yet, he played a lot of concerts. If you have seen the concert, and wonder why he is wearing sunglasses, the people at WTTW said, that Roy Orbison had bad eye sight, and he couldn't see without glasses, and he has even tried, they also said, one day before playing a concert in England, Roy Orbison discovered that he had left his regular glasses at home, but it just so happened that he had sunglass on him, and that became his trade mark. Just recently WTTW, aired this concert twice in one week, first on a Sunday Night, then a Saturday night. If you enjoy a concert with very little talk, in it, this is the concert for you, Roy Orbison onlyed talked twice and both was to say "Thank You" and some body else is heard (not very well) saying 1, 2, 3, 4, before a song. And I have to admit, for being in his 50's at the time of this peformance, Roy Orbison looks very good for his age, in fact, I don't even believe he was only in his early 50's, because he looks like he was younger than he looks in his early 50's.

+With the exception of the recording of their unborn child's last moments of life,these records are a way of Lennon flipping us all off and purging himself as best he could of the Beatle myth;or he was trying to destroy the Beatle myth once and for all. He must have been busting w/ laughter thinking about how the public would handle these records.

+No other album has more thought provoking lyrics then this right here! From Maynards personal hate against the city of angels in Aenema, his views on the next step in human evolution in 46&2, and finally to the best send off track I've heard in my short life span, Third Eye. He not only challenges the listeners to keep up with the ever changing rythms and progression of each song, but he also wants us all to THINK about the true meanings hidden in each and every song. Now if you're just another wannabe rocker who just listens to an album because it sounds heavy and it keeps your blood rushing, then turn off the album now and save us Tool fans the embarrasment. You meatheads could never realize how much knowledge you can gain from just listening to Maynard. Just to sum up the vocals, NO ONE IS BETTER THAN MAYNARD!period.

+9941	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Let me start by saying that David bowie is, along with the Beatles, one of the most influential artists in popular music history. This 1990 compilation collects bowies most important songs from 1969 to 1984, you couldn't really name any other classic bowie song after Blue Jean, these songs trace bowie's amazing journey from the folkie-psychedelic start to glam-rock icon, from british soul singer to pre new wave pioneer to finally pop superstar in the 1980's.
+Working from the pretext that they could experiment like the Beatles did, each song was tinkered and toyed with till (as you can hear in the comparisons to the bonus disc's demo versions) they barely resembled their original ideas. It made the original album's side one a song suite of near "Sgt. Pepper" proportions, with the standout of "Man Out Of Time" marking the perfect bridge between the Elvis of old and the Elvis of new. His anguished howl that breaks the song open and then ushers it into the heartbreak of "Almost Blue" reset the boundaries of compositions in 1982.

Hendrix was the best in his time but he died just as his music was maturing past Foxey Lady, Watch Tower, and Purple Haze. Carlos lives, and gets better with each passing decade. SUPERNATURAL was an album an 'Angel On his Shoulder' told him to record ! It is a beautiful compilation of partnerships with some of the best vocalist and guitar players (like Clapton). Mr. Santana shines brightest when he shares his genius with other musicians. There is a prominent Spanish tone to the album like much of Los Lobos work.

+Nice choice of tunes. Zappa was establishing his reputation for completely changing the arrangements of well known songs. A major example here is I'm the slime, which is a great reworking of a favorite song. Nice liner notes too. Pretty silly to find out that Punky's whips was deemed offensive, even in the USA, even in the 70's...
+Speaking of lyrics, the biggest hurdle with the album is that the 2 page synopsis in the linear notes often puts emphasis on events that get only a passing reference in song, if not skipped at all, while the songs often focus heavily on events passed over in the synopsis, which also suffers from stilted writing. The story can't be fully understood via music along, but this is a problem shared with all the Savatage/TSO albums finding a climax with Savatage's "The Wake Of Magellan" where the songs were written & then a story put over it afterwards.

These songs reflect Pete's devotion to Meher Baba in particular and his deep spirituality in general.  It took awhile for the album to grow on me precisely because of the abovementioned descriptions, but once it had, I really began to love it.  My faves are "Content" (wish it were longer!), "There's a Heartache Following Me," "Pure and Easy" (slightly different from the band's version), "Nothing Is Everything" (a million times better than The Who's version, what with the different lyrics and interpretation; this song was not written for Roger at all), and the beautiful original closer "Parvardigar."  The final song was adapted and set to music from Meher Baba's "Universal Prayer," a gorgeous piece of non-sectarian and spiritual religious poetry in addition to just a prayer.  It really demonstrates the unfathomable and indescribable nature of the Divine, and uses many different names for him/her towards the end.  Who wouldn't want to say Amen to such a beautiful universal prayer set to music?

She often mimics violin or human voice in her phrasing, but subtly gives the theremin its own voice and proves its suitability for classical.

+Roy Harris' American Creed and When Johnny Comes Marching Home are also rarely heard, nonetheless recorded.  Harris' music is a bit more ponderous than that of Copland, and while Harris sticks with more classical formal designs, it is interesting to note the many harmonic and orchestration similarities which exist between the two composers.  Harris' energetic "When Johnny..." is also very interesting, especially when compared to the more famous American Salute by Morton Gould.
+"The Angels Took My Racehorse Away" may have escaped WATCHING THE DARK's retrospective notice but is nevertheless a Thompson classic. Still a staple in his live shows, his solo here will drop your jaw while his words rip out what's left of your heartstings. A near impossible feat in this day & age. Another neglected standout is "Wheely Down". With lyrics that sound swiped from some prophetic Book of Doom, he hints at a personal, almost inconsolable loss. "Mary & Joseph"'s demetented Salvation Army stylings give Tom Waits a run for his money long before SWORDFISH TROMBONES. By the album's end, you're left "sitting in a bar, face down in a jar".

+But this gorgeous CD Remaster by Denis Blackham from 2005 (issued as part of the 'Island Remasters Series' around all things Fairport Convention) has reminded me of what I loved - hammered home the magic bits  and its thrown in a few tasty extras as well in the Bonus Tracks. Lets read those tealeaves and divine the details...
+The reason I can't, in good conscience, give this album 5 stars is because of "Pretty Maids All In A Row" and "Try And Love Again".  I suspect that these songs being on the album were a compromise that the band struck up internally so that bandmembers other than Henley or frey could get a chance to sing lead and write songs for the album.  Those two songs are really not up to usual Eagles standards.
+684	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	These works are so difficult the fact that anyone can play them at any level of proficiency deserves 5 stars and as usual Hamelin's technique is up to par, but in this release more than any other Hamelin's performance  weaknesses are appearant. He lets many of the peices flatten out from lack  of varying touch and tone, too much empasis on a constant and even texture  not enough on the shape or inner voices of the works. Sometimes it's  difficult to tell when the piece ends! And with some of the studies he has  a relapse to his abusive pedaling exhibited in "The Composer  Pianists." One gets the sense that he is driving a car, the faster he  goes the further he must depress the pedal. It's a real shame too because  he has exquisite finger work. He plays like he is ashamed of his  accomplishments. The legatoholic problems mentioned above could easily be  solved by not using such a sweet piano with a huge glowing aftersound (the  piano seemed to be tuned too high also, for my tastes) or using a single  mic closer to the piano. And you have an advanced stereo at home the  problem can be decreased by turning down the mid range. But of course  Hamelin gets the majority of the studies out without losing too much  character. Don't let this stop you from purchasing this exquisite album  though. It's a whole different view of the studies than Grante and others,  just sometimes a boring one.

It's damn near impossible to create a unique Christmas cd from the millions out there. From song selections (obscure or chestnut?) to arrangements (experimental or traditional?), how does one come up with a mix that will satisfy? Well, Grisman's done it! With mandolins, stand-up basses, flutes and a flurry of other instruments, he creates a spectacular mix of traditional and genre-bending arrangements! His steel-drum treatment of "Silent Night" as an island celebration is nothing short of mind-blowing! And being Scotch-irish, "Auld Lang Syne" is a sacred ballad to me; but once you've heard Grisman's banjo-jangly-"Deliverance" version that removes the maudalin from the song, you may never go back!!

+ Slither: great rock song. Born in blood every single time. This song features each musician very well. This song deals with the constant need of redemption for us sinners. It's almost a vicious circle of sin/be forgiven/sin/be forgiven.

+9847	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is undoubtedly one of Bowie's best albums!  Part of the trilogy with Eno, "Low" contains masterpieces like, of course "Sound+Vision" and "Be My Wife."  However, don't stop  the CD there.  It only gets better at the end.  The instrumentals are just  brilliant! (Especially "A New Career In A New Town and Speed of  Life") It's a wonder that this album here wasn't one of his most  popular!  A true album, with true music!
+Despite those limitations, there is some excellent material here, especially the period from 1959 through 1969 when the classic lineup included Charlie Waller on guitar and vocals (the founder and lone constant throughout the entire band's history), John Duffey on mandolin and vocals, Eddie Adcock on banjo, and either Tom Gray or Ed Ferris on bass.  Fully half of the tracks (1-12 and 20) feature this configuration of the band. [Note: Duffey and Gray would later team up again in The Seldom Scene in the early seventies.]
+The first album, just called Sugarloaf, is very good, but weaker than the second album on here in my opinion.  Some of the tracks on the first album are strange, but memorable, such as "west of tomorrow" which has a similar verse melody to the Hollies "he ain't heavy, he's my brother" and you feel a lot of emotion in the singer's voice.  Actually there might be two people singing on this track, going back and forth, but it's possible that it could just be one singer doing some kind of studio trick.  You also could say the verse melody is similar to Three Dog Night's "celebrate".
+WAKA JAWAKA might be next up (though I like this one better) - - after, HOT RATS and ROXY are probably the next stops to take... though you'll probably also enjoy the recordings from his latter BROADWAY THE HARD WAY TOUR including MAKE A JAZZ NOISE HERE.
+So far, there has never been a band that could play like Cream live, and the way it looks, there never will be.  Yes, in jazz you've had such groups such as Tony William's "Lifetime", the Miles Davis quintet, John Coltrane quartet, John Mclaughlin, and others, but this was rock.  Cream was doing something that had never been done before.  They were taking long, extended, improvisational jams that were truely extraordinary.  I personally have never heard any band ever duplicate or even come close to the what was done in "Spoonful".  I'm a drummer, went to Berklee, and have been playing a long time, so I feel I have some expertise in the matter.
+The bad: Everything else. The songs are an over-produced mess of overdubs and echo's. Echo's. I mean really, this kind of late-disco era tripe went out long before this album was originally cut in 1992. This sounds like something Michael Macdonald put out in the mid `80's. `The Whole of the Moon' is so layered with echo and reverb and what???? Talk-over?? Really? You kidding me? I really expected M. Macdonald to come popping out of `Big Noise, New York'... Fagen's influence is felt, and I get it, but here it is; the worst of his sensibilities made cheesy and commercialized for those who need their emotions injected into their veins instead acting as inspiration.
+For the record..so to speak, there are really 3 purchase options to consider:
+3110	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The Amazon product description indicates that the DVD is Dolby only.  Not true. The DVD is DTS and Dolby Digital. The SACD audio disc sounds wonderful  and as other reviews indicate, this is a great concert.
+6907	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I'm just starting to write reviews on this page, but I'm going to focus in this particular album because I bought it only this year and it was the biggest surprise I've had since. I have all the Beatles' studio albums, and when I first heard "Ram", it just didn't sound quite like them...  The first impression I had from "Ram" came when I heard "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" on the radio, and I didn't understand it as a complete unity. Then I thought the complete context of that infectious "hands across the water, heads across the sky" chorus must have been on the album, so when I first got the chance to buy it (at an extremely low price, I must say), I did. And what I found was even more different and complex than what I'd thought before... I think most of us have built the mental image of Paul McCartney being a brilliant melody/hits constructor, which he demonstrated perfectly during his Beatle period (think about "Michelle", "Yesterday", "Let It Be", "The Long And Winding Road", etc.) and, of course, during his posterior Wings period ("Silly Love Songs", "My Love", etc.). But when I first heard the complete "Ram" album, I was getting quite different stuff: strong and complex musical arrangements with lyrics that made me ask to myself "hands across the water... what is he SAYING?", and with melodies and tunes unusually dense and deep for the average pop record. (And that's true not only for 1971, but also for today's standards!) Because of all that, I can say this album helps to change that public image of Sir James Paul McCartney, and stands out (maybe along  with "Band On The Run") as his most important solo effort. He has enough talent and taste to put out all those best-selling records (I mean he obviously knows what people like), like he would eventually do later with Wings, but he can also put together a good set of songs and make them sound well arranged and performed, with little help from Linda the wife and musician, like he did in "Ram". The strange lyrics that he presents to us here can only make you think. But if you want to figure out what's he singing about, you may get to strange conclussions (John Lennon understood the mesagges to him like "too many people preaching practices/don't let'em tell you what you wanna be") or just get a smile in your face and don't worry about them. You can simply enjoy the complexity of the chord variations, the orchestral production and the instrumental arrangements and find those little gems that can make you spend a good afternoon (or night, or morning, whatever) full of relaxation and great music. This album has production gems and excellent vocal performances by Paul and Linda, and a lot of weird sounds (the ukelele on "Ram On", the scat singing on "Heart Of The Country", etc.) that can make you go through this album over and over and always find something new to put attention to. Specially recommended are "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" (a huge hit that, in my opinion, hides a deep meaning -the role that the relationship between Paul and Linda plays in front of the world-, behind somewhat silly lyrics like "we haven't done a bloody thing all day"...); "Monkberry Moon Delight" (a delicious throat symphony by Paul with shining harmony vocals by Linda); "Long Haired Lady"; "Heart Of The Country"; "Eat At Home"; "Too Many People" (with hidden messagges to John & Yoko and outstanding guitar solos, which I suppose to be from Paul) and the best of all: "Dear Boy", which is a hidden jewel in the McCartney discography: here you can find the richest vocal arrangements ever made by Paul and Linda, perfectly managed to fit into the pure and sincere lyrics and the piano, bass & guitar basis. Buy this album. Enjoy it without great hopes (because it's not as good as the Beatles albums or as deep and sincere as the John Lennon solo albums: I mean, if you want to see the bad side of it, you will probably find it), but with a good disposition to smile and find out what a great pop songwriter, singer and instrumentist Paul McCartney is. (P.S.:If you can, get the "imported" version of this, that also has "Another Day" and "Oh Woman Oh Why" as bonus tracks. It is the standard version sold out here in Chile, and I think it adds two great songs to the other twelve and the remastering helps the whole album too).

+But, the entire experience of listening to the music is ruined by the copy-protection. I bought the CD happily thinking that I would listen to it in the car, and then put in on my ipod when I got home. Didn't work. I ripped the songs on iTunes, and it was all jibberish. I tried ripping it on Windows Media Player, but then I couldn't convert those files to iTunes format.
+Quite a nice set but could have been longer. Wish You Were Here and several other classics have nice rendering with an excellent bassist. A nice guest appearance by Richard Wright.

David Gilmour's willingness to give way to Richard Wright for one of his numbers and his excellent Guitar on it is a highlight.

+Burnt Weenie Sandwich along with Weasels Ripped My Flesh were put together by Zappa shortly after he called the band out to his house in Laurel Canyon to announce he was disbanding The Mothers.  Both releases are definitely worth owning. Both would have been "assembled" during the period Zappa was working on Hot Rats.  Both releases are made up of live and studio tracks recorded between 1967 and 1969.  Weenie is more focused on some of Zappa's formal ensemble writing while Weasels has more of a jazz feel and more live tracks as well.  I would say that Burnt Weenie Sandwich is probably the stronger of the two releases but they are both excellent.
+The extras are once again excellent, albeit a little out of place. Walking in the Park with Eloise and Bridge Over the River Suite are early examples of Paul walking outside popular music entirely (jazz this time), and Sally G the country-fried B-side (and later flipped A-side) to Junior's Farm.

+8524	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This cd was never really accepted widely by the public.  Tool was not major when they released this, and that should be the reason, because this is just as good as Aenima and Lateralus.  It is heavy and light at the same time, showing how diverse their sound can be.  Fear is a big target, and it is executed to perfection.  "Sweat" is a very tough song, displaying Tool's start and introduction to their own ideas, which lead to their originality on all their other efforts.  "Cold and Ugly", "Jerk-Off", and "Part of Me" are also showings of how they came to be.  This is actually much better than Undertow,  which seemed to focus almost entirely on fear.  Get this if you are new to Tool.
+I listen to 8 or 9 of the songs regularly. If you are a collector of late sixties era pop, I'd say go for it.
+This song's reprise is the first filler of the album, though fortunately very brief. Victim of Love is the other rocker of the cd, and kicks all the way through, although the solo is too short. And right after this tune is when the cracks appear on the cd: three slow songs are too much, as pointed above. Pretty Maids is bearable, but then we have Try and Love Again, that could be great with a minute or two shorter. Sometimes to be good and brief is a virtue, remember also Meisner's Is It True from On The Border. There is no time to get bored by it, unlike what happens with Try and Love Again. The Last Resort is a great ballad, and the lyric is up to par.
+8298	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is one of the more underrated, unheard of albums I've come to know and love.  The eclectic mix of influences in Matt Mahaffey's life are obvious as there are tones of hip-hop, tones of pop and tones of rock splashed within it, and has some of the best pop music that's been released in a long time.
+My favorite songs fall into two main categories.  There are songs that really rock here...These include the song "Hotel California", "Life In The Fast Lane" and "Victim of Love" all of which I love for the biting lyrics and great guitar work.  Then there are the more sensitive songs which soothe like sweet summer evening breezes, songs such as "New Kid In Town" and the pretty "The Last Resort" and my favorite song on the album, "Try And Love Again" with its beautiful guitar duet - guitars playing parallel lines, but in lovely harmony with each other.  Then there's the beautiful environmental lament "The Last Resort" which is one of Don Henley's nicer preachy songs...
+The sequencing is close to optimal in terms of exploring the death theme  -- try 1, 4, 5, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9.  That actually tells a story -- the death  of a friend ("Nothing That I Didn't Know") plunges the already  alcoholic narrator into a Christ-obsessed ("About to Die" and  "Barnyard Story"), suicidal and homicidal ("Still There'll  Be More") rumination which extends into a contemplation of the  apocalypse ("Piggy Pig Pig" and the band's crowning masterpiece,  "Whaling Stories") before arriving at the unexpected Answer  (complete with bucolic harmonica).
+The sound is still good, just not what you'd hope for on a DVD.  The disc is a live show from 1997 in London.  The show contains songs from the earlier albums like Rent, It's a sin and Being Boring, but it also contains what were new releases like Hallo Spaceboy, Discoteca and Somewhere.  I think it is worth the purchase.  It is filmed in a small theatre, actually the theatre that inspired the song "Theatre" and is an intimate look at the band... Close up shots and some interviews before the performance.  If your a big fan go ahead and buy it... I don't regret purchasing a copy and neither will you.
+8853	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Zappa's true MAGNUM OPUS was a completely surreal take on "soundtrack albums", for a bizarre film never released for over 20 years.  When I first heard a cut from this album, I think it was "Nine Types of Industrial Pollution" in an underground used record store in Denver.  I was amazed at the sound coming out of the speakers. It wasn't rock. Instead, it was a dense, heavily overdubbed, obviously orchestrated and thought out piece of percussion, with sound effects on top of the music. I thought, "This doesnt sound like PEACHES AND REGINA or YELLOW SNOW!" I picked up the album, and started to read how Zappa had overdubbed some tracks up to 40 times. I wasn't ready for the album at THAT time...I was 22 years old, and into post punk, new wave, and garage psychedelia. Of any of Zappa's original MOI albums, this is by far the strangest, and yet also the most classically motivated. The album came during that hyper period of creativity, right after the double hitter of ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY (his hippy parady), and CRUISIN WITH RUBEN AND THE JETS (his satire of doowop music), and right before his second solo album, HOT RATS.  SO, obviously Zappa was undergoing an immense change with his vision of MUSIC.  This was the last album that relied so completely on his "CUT UP" montage esthetic, before he moved into albums with more straight ahead song structure. The entire album SOUNDS the way the album cover LOOKS.  It's intriging, scary, funny, surreal, and somewhere between POP ART and true HIGH ART.  Honestly, if you REALLY want to see where "ART ROCK" came from, check out the original MOTHER OF INVENTION albums from 1967-1969, and the early CAN albums from Germany, and KING CRIMSON's first album. (And probibly SOFT MACHINE's early sound.) Even tho so much of this album has the sound of ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY, but with much more orchestral, avant guarde musical experiments, jazz rock, dominating Zappa's typical mid 60s satire of the teenage pop rock-top 10 radio mentality.  Seriously, each song on this album DOES fall into one of those catagories, sometimes a single song does ALL of these things at once. Of all Zappa's albums from this period, the instrumental songs (DOG'S BREATH, POUND FOR A BROWN, SLEEPING IN A JAR,) were themes that recurred constantly on his live albums thruout his career. KING KONG, which took up the entire fourth side of the original double album, is in many ways Zappa's THEME SONG. King Kong alone points to this as one of the ESSENCIAL ZAPPA ALBUMS for all fans. If you don't like the experimental parts of the album, or the "joke interviews", you're sure to enjoy the wierd songs that have lyrics on this album, but turned into instrumentals in performance after this album was released. The art work is completely represented inside, with a fold out insert that shows the album cover full size. (Ryko's archival work on rock classics, reached a sort a climax of quality here.) Apparently, on another printing of the album, other album cover art was used, and this alternative artwork is represented as well. My only real problem with this CD for UNCLE MEAT, is that strange 40 minute bit of dialouge from the film, and the song "Tengo na Minchia Tanta". (I don't believe it was written during this period, but much later.) Of course with CDs, you can just jump past this part, and get right to the "4th side" of the original album, with all the different jams on the KING KONG theme. So, there you have it. This is the last truly BIZARRE Mothers of Invention album ("Burnt Weeny Samwhich", which was much more structured, and musical overall, came after this.) Zappa never really allowed himself to be represented in a band that was so SURREAL, or psychedelic if you will, after this point. In fact, by the time of HOT RATS, Zappa had gotten rid of the wierdo freaks from the original MOTHERS, and started to create the string of albums from his peak musical period of JAZZ ROCK. If you love the original MOTHERS, this is the FREAKIEST for those teenage rockers. Yet, at the same time, UNCLE MEAT has all the seeds of the jazz rock, and orchrestral experiments, that Zappa would explore for years after this.
+This is a transcendent rock album.
+SIDE ONE
+This was a very cool concert, I wish I could have been to Berlin in person to see it when it occurred but oh well.  Anyways, it is very well put together.  Roger managed to assemble a good supporting cast (shame he couldn't assemble the other members of Floyd).  I can certainly understand why Pink Floyd did a very limited release in its first iteration.
+
+Spoonful, stretching to nearly 17 minutes, features some jamming, which, I have to admit, becomes quite boring after a few listens. Traintime is Bruce-Baker duo, with Baker playing the drums and Bruce handling vocals and harmonica. Some may say this song drags on a bit too long, but I like it. It's a good track to listen from time to time. The closing Toad is Ginger Baker showing his abilities on the drums. The song lasts for 16 minutes and the major part of it is a drum solo, but for a hardcore Cream fan, like me, this is something to listen and enjoy. Ginger Baker is one of the most underrated drummers ever, and here he proves it. His solo on drums is creative and inspiring, and it's good to give it a listen.
+"Must Do Something About It" is a fairly weak and forgettable song, but on the other hand, it would fit in perfect with McCartney's self-titled debut album before the Wings came into the picture, and I consider that album a masterpiece, so perhaps I'm just being a bit unfair.

This is my first Yanni CD. Maybe the booklets that accompany his other CDs contain more information.)

+I also compare this album to "Live at the Acropolis," and feel that buying this DVD would be a much better purchase. I think that Yanni's music was still in the developmental stage when he recorded at the Acropolis; with "Tribute," he has had a chance to try things out, and this is the culmination of all his years of hard work as a composer and arranger. I don't know if Yanni himself will be able to top this performance, let alone any other musician.

For years this 1984 release played out on the radio with BORN IN THE U.S.A.(Reagan's choice for a campaign song which was wisley declined, Reagan  must not have really listened to the lyrics), GLORY DAYS, DANCING IN THE DARK, MY HOMETOWN and it just goes on. I saw the Boss in concert that year in Philly. The man played for almost 4 hours, giving all he had in one of the greatest concerts I've ever seen. The Boss was definately Born to Play Rock and Roll.

+7981	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	When you thought you heard the best album Scott Hamilton had recorded, this release gives you a kick - "East Of The Sun", truly an astonishing confident performance.  Hamilton appeared in the mid '70s with his appealing swing-style on tenor sax, mixing Zoot Sims, Ben Webster and Lester Young during the fusion era before settling on now his-own distinctive style.  Moved to New York in 1976, toured and has recorded over thirty albums for Concord Jazz, as sideman and solo...with Gene Harris, Ray Brown, Rosemary Clooney, Ruby Braff, Charlie Byrd and Cal Tjader.

+The film is not without its flaws.  Anytime your script relies this heavily on the acting abilities of children, some of them no more than toddlers, your bound to run into a few snags unless you manage to find the next&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Haley-Joel-Osment/dp/B00004BZIY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Haley Joel Osment</a>.  Likewise, there's some vague nonsense about viruses bandied about, perhaps as an oblique explanation for the change in the children, but it's half-hearted, and the movie would've worked much better had the creators decided to leave that part of the story up to the viewers to decide.  Add in some sloppy editing and a single, cheesy image at the ending, and you've got a movie that doesn't trust its own staying power.

Very tough job to accomplish. Few producer-directors are able to subordinate themselves to their subject. Aside from a minimum number of audience shots to remind us of what the introductory note tells us (and that is all it is,  one or two sentences of text to set the context) there are something like 600,000 people out there and it is 2 AM so we know they have seen a good many acts before this one.

Her words and vocals are a fine addition to this song, maintaining the Celtic tradition while broadening its appeal. She clearly has a dead-on instinct for picking songs that facilitate her unique stamp; she understands the songs, and uses her voice as an alembic to extract the rarest of emotions, further delineating the heart of the piece.
+3368	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	EXCELLENT SANTANA ALBUM
+On this CD edition, there is about 45 minutes or so of dialogue from the film Uncle Meat.  Personally, I could have done without it, as it adds nothing to the CD itself.  Zappa started filming it film around 1968, but he couldn't find the money to finish it until years later.  When Frank finally finished it, he released it on VHS in the 1980's, and honestly, if he never finished it, I would have been OK with that.  While the album Uncle Meat is one of Zappa's greatest albums, the accompanying film is really bad. It has a home movie quality, and it's not particularly endearing.  The film is rambling and incoherent, and the only scene that really sticks out is an endless scene where a woman takes a shower eating a hamburger, and professes how much she's enjoying it. It's not a good scene, but it just goes on and on until it becomes unbearable. Zappa only made a few feature films (200 Motels and Baby Snakes), but 200 Motels was co-directed by Tony Palmer, a professional filmmaker from the U.K. (which may explain why 200 Motels is actually pretty coherent for a surreal film), and Baby Snakes is essentially a concert documentary (and a very good one). Zappa was a master musician, one of the greatest this country ever produced, but he was never much of a filmmaker.
+Lyrically nothing has changed. I've managed to arrive at some understanding of what maybe... hmmm... half of the numbers are about. At least I think I understand. But this is nothing new for Steely Dan. The wit is still there but it seems more reflective. Steely Dan numbers were always populated by odd characters, but it's easier to sympathise with some of the crazies here (just check out "What a Shame About Me").

+I am always disappointed that this artist has chosen a sort of reclusive recording career and barely non-existant concert path. That is a shame because she has such a wonderful voice. For some reason, she turns down projects, and will only do projects that she feels illuminate her art. But I would be happy to hear her sing the phone book..
+Overall this disc is a street classic and anyone who enjoys Bay Area rap should not be without it. While not quite as classic as his later albums, "In A Major Way", and "Tha Hall Of Game", Federal paved the way for future hits. Nothing less than an A.

+1508	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I love Pink Floyd/Roger Waters stuff (In The Flesh Live is my favorite concert DVD) but I'd avoided this for years because, frankly, I didn't want to see The Wall done by a bunch of people not even remotely connected to Roger Waters' music (Scorpions, Jerry Hall, Cyndi Lauper, etc).  Finally I gave in and what a surprise!  Not only is the stage show an unbelievable spectacle to behold but the music and performers are great.  Van Morrison, Scorpions, Cyndi Lauper, Ute Lemper, Bryan Adams, Paul Carrack, Sinead O'Connor,etc., all do really good jobs with the songs they are given.  The only two performances that I didn't care for were Joni Mitchell (Goodbye Blue Sky) and Jerry Hall (Are All These Your Guitars?).  Joni Mitchell's voice is very good but she embellishes a little too much for my taste and Jerry Hall's speaking part was a bit too over the top.  Other than that, my only disappointment is that this is in (it's original) fullscreen version.  An anamorphic 16x9 presentation (it is cropped however from the fullscreen) does exist on The Wall: Live In Berlin (Special Edition) but this disc is either a) a non-Region 1 disc or b) no longer unavailable.  The 5.1 sound was very good but lacked a bit in the low end.  Overall, the concert is spectacular, the performers are really good, the audio is great, and the video is average.  The documentary is worth watching, too.  I was completely overwhelmed with how good this concert really was and only regret not having gotten the disc sooner.

Suffice to say, it was originally intended as a 4-disc vinyl release, ran into some complications, and was delayed by a mere 20 years.  These complications resulted in Frank Zappa's suing a VERY LARGE RECORD COMPANY for about 3 million, the material being released across about 5 albums (three of them against his wishes), and, in an act of revolt, Frank's broadcasting of the album in its entirety on LA's KROQ, during which he actually encouraged listeners to record it.

It's creative, vibrant and completely different from anything else that was happening at the time. Too Many People rocks and Rolls joints through the purple haze of yesterday's bitter truths, while 3 legs staggers along in up tempo mode, grooving to it's own unique rhythm. Ram On goes straight to the heart while Dear Boy sounds both sad and sarcastic, hip and sway. Uncle Albert offers vocal harmonies in many shades of colors while the song progresses on into something way over the rainbow and beyond, while Smile Away rocks the teeth right out of your head. Heart of the Country boogies within the vein of it's title, while Monkberry Moon Delight is as odd and inspired as the title suggests, and playfully swings through the rafters of someone's old, smoke-filled attic. Eat at Home is a healthy portion of rock stew and Long Haired Lady dives head first into the mist filled eyes and margarita glasses of some long remembered dream. Back Seat of my Car is a classic Paul closer and is so lush with orchestral swells and Beatle-ish harmonies that you can almost see George Martin and John Lennon in the control booth watching in admiration.

+HOURGLASS is a sonic treat for the ears, very pure and perfect digital sound without a single high or low washout or distortion.  True to the legacy of American Gramaphone, HOURGLASS is one perfectly produced album and as a recording duo with some of the best backup talent in the world, America have written and performed a new album which easily rivals (and possibly even is superior to) any album they ever made.  If you are a fan of America, and gave up on them in the early 80's, I beg you to return to the fold.  If you are a new fan who has acquired a greatest hits collection like HISTORY and ENCORE or maybe THE COMPLETE GREATEST HITS, and now wish to explore the album legacy of America, then I urge you to try this one first and then go back to the albums noted earlier in the review.

+Part 2 is a little more for fans.  With its numerous live performances and less coherent structure, this part appeals more to longtime fans of Metallica who want to see how the band works when the scope of its fanbase suddenly increased tenfold.  There are still fascinating bits even for casual perusers:  The tensions between the Metallica/Guns N' Roses camps when the two bands joined up for a massive, trouble-ridden tour; an after-show meeting where the Metallica members discuss changes and critique one another; and backstage footage from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert.  The two official videos, "Sad but True" and "Wherever I May Roam", are passable, with near-interchangeable footage and a distinct lack of character.

+This album, being a debut, sounds like Tool getting itself together. The musicians are very tight and technically proficient. The riffs sound like Tool except a little heavier. The bass is also similar to those in later albums even if the band did change their bassists. However, the bass is less prominent than in later post Undertow material. Danny Carrey's drums however, are in full force and dominate the music with very musical yet technical beats and fills. His double bass work, particularly, permeates the soundscape layed down by the other band members. Maynard James Keenan's vocals are as always, very powerful. He lays down some great vocals for this album. The vocals are very forceful and fit the angry tone of the album.

+Although the second Green Energy set begins standing, overall, it is significantly less intense than the first. Ana starts with a "cross-crawl" move, basically a march alternating arms and knees. This is followed by a long sequence of BOF while standing in place. Ana then assumes horse stance, punching forward to the rhythm of BOF. She concludes the standing work with large arm circles and pumping interlaced hands sternum to navel with BOF. Coming to seated, Ana "plays" her fingers to the tune of sa-ta-na-ma, and she finishes this set with relaxing left nostril breathing.

+The other Tony, Mr. Martin, sounds incredible as usual, but he just seems to be extra-inspired for some reason.  Maybe he was really happy to be back, because he makes "Cross Purposes" a true highlight in the Sabbath catalog with one of the band's finest singing performances ever.  Just listen to what he does on "Cross of Thorns" and "Psychophobia" and try to tell me he wasn't as capable as any singer Iommi ever recruited to front Sabbath.  The Tony Martin era of the band, which spans five studio albums, has been historically undervalued, but it's gained respect as time has gone by, and continues to stand its ground with those of us who appreciate all of the various phases of Black Sabbath.  The production of "Cross Purposes" is top-notch, with fantastic performances also turned in by Geezer Butler (who remained after the Dio and Ozzy reunions), Bobby Rondinelli on drums, and Geoff Nichols on keyboard.  Not to be missed, this album is one of Black Sabbath's best, and if you're a Tony Iommi fan, it's a must-have.

The heavy-duty glam rock persona is stripped bare here as Bowie experiments with synthesizers and ambient music.  Particularly notable cuts include "Be My Wife" and "Always Crashing in the Same Car" -- not for any lyrical brilliance, but for the then-outrageous bare-bones styling.  "Low," along with the other two Berlin albums ("Heroes" and "Lodger") shows Bowie's progress as a musician ... and as he "cleans out" from heroin.  (Bowie himself says of the years immediately preceding his move to Berlin:  "David Bowie is alive and living only theory.")  A vital addition to any fan's disc collection.

[What a difference a title makes!] Atlantic Records released 28  separate versions of Tommy Facenda's 1959 hit "High School USA,"  each one mentioning actual high schools by name in a specific geographic  location throughout the United States.  Duane Eddy plays acoustic guitar on  Donnie Owens' 1958 hit "Need You." The Rocky Fellers consist of a  father and his four sons from the Philippines--their surname is Feller.

This remastered version is definately worth watching, as all the problems with the first version have been corrected.  The visual and audio qualities are impeccable, and the bonus features (photo gallery, "Queenie" tour of London) are fun.  Granted, the Montreal audience could have been more responsive during the show, but the band's performance is excellent, as always.  I'm told that a true Queen concert, experienced live, far exceeds this recording.  Nevertheless, while we wait for better things--Wembley? Live Aid?--to be released on DVD, this particular concert can satisfy our appetites for the time being.
+The audio quality of this feature is also considerably better than the Zoo TV video (but not as good as the Elevation video).  I noticed that when I copied some of the songs to a CD so I could listen to them in my car.  Zoo TV had some fun segments and some great songs too, but for me Pop ranks a little higher.  My copy of the Unforgettable Fire I purchased on e-Bay as it is out of print.  Unforgettable Fire contains some great videos from U2's earlier years (including "Pride," which is one of my favorite U2 songs and videos) and some documentary footage as well.  Joshua Tree is a great video also; one of my favorites.

High number of  fine songs. As for the ongoing debate, definitely not the best Skynyrd  out there, Ronnie is not coming back and this is what we have.

The listener hears every thing from brassy horn pops to velvety electric bass to twangy wah-wah guitars to just about every vintage keyboard ever invented. Each instrument adds its own contour to the music making for a very enjoyable listening experience where the listener keeps hearing new things throughout the album.

+9424	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Frank Zappa has a talent for creative goofiness.  That means, even though your first opinion upon listening to any one of his albums (except Hot Rats) is that he's deliberately singing in a goofy style, his ability to put a song together creativey and make it sound like something *no one* else could possibly create makes him an original genius.  It really does.
+892	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	The most important outcome of the Velvet Revolver project is that it has returned Slash, one of rock's all-time greatest guitarists, to public awareness. The world has been deprived of Slash's brilliance for far too long, and this album gives us an ecstatic helping of his maximalist riffs and blazing solos. Meanwhile, Duff has become a much more forceful and funky bassist, and Matt Sorum is swinging to a surprising degree. I'm not too familiar with Dave Kushner's background, but he has a strong underground pedigree and here he strongly holds down the fort whenever Slash goes off on a rampage, which is quite often. Velvet Revolver offers a slamming mix of classic trashy hard rock and current rhythms, bringing out all the strengths of the four musicians, for winning sounds that are both familiar and fresh.

+1274	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	When I saw this DVD I bought it without reading too much about it - shame on me.  I love Pink Floyd and David's solo work.  In the endless debate of Roger Waters vs. David Gilmour my vote is always 110% in favor of David Gilmour.  From the front cover it was obvious that it would be scaled down a bit but I didn't expect it to be as scaled down as it is.  David talks to the audience a little here and there which is nice.  The bad part about it, however, is that he speaks so softly that you can't hear anything he says without turning up the volume quite a bit.  I would guess that the music is played at twice the volume as his voice when he speaks to the audience.

+The liner notes are voluminous accounts into the background of Copland.  You really get the gist of how close he was to music and patriotism and how that evolved throughout the 20th Century.  The Seattle Symphony plays well on this disk; you can tell they have a real feel of the music.  While you can find better recordings of Fanfare and the Outdoor Overture, you can't beat this Lincoln Portrait, and you probably won't find the other works anywhere else, especially so well performed.  Copland was serious about music and democracy and it shows in these works; the lesser known ones are greatly eclipsed by his more famous works, and so you probably have to be a Copland junkie to buy this CD.  In that case, this will be an easy buy for you!

+For the un-iniated, I suggest you listen to this CD for quite a while, since it may take a long time to sink in. The apparently stupid buildup of Eulogy will suddenly make sense, and the song Third Eye will grow on you alot. The "fillers" never really do much, but they do add to the mood. (For the love of god, skip them if you don't like them! No one's making you listen to them!) Maynard's vocals are quite soft, so it's a good idea to get the lyrics to the songs. Now to reviews of my favorite tracks.

+Overall Cross Purposes is easily one of my favorite Sabbath albums, it's up there with all the golden classics.  Certinaly better than Forbidden.

+There is a poignant interview with Tommy & Chris as a bonus feature recorded 9 years after Stevies untimely death, and they STILL look dazed and haunted from his passing.
+The reason I gave this 4 stars is because it would be nice to see him and Roger Waters put their diffrences aside.  I've seen "In the Flesh", I've been to the concerts three times.  I also have bootlegs from The Radio KAOS and Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking tours.  While the musicians that Roger Waters surrounds himself with are good (he even had Eric Clapton for Hitchhiking), David Gilmour demonstrates that only he is David Gilmour.  I would be nice to see the four of them reunited and doing a concert like this.

HOWEVER, Flo and Eddie are great, and if you like this you need to get the John Lennon album Some Time in New York City as well, which indludes a live recording from the next night which has The Mothers with Flo and Eddie, as well as John and Yoko going absolutely bananas.  All of this stuff was recorded the last week the Fillmore was open, as well as the Allman Brothers album from that time.......
+From "Heaven and Hell," the mix of this concert is completely, totally crystal clear.  I couldn't get over the detail in guitarist Pete Townshend's playing (which was also very sloppy in places, but hey, that's Pete).  John Entwistle is not just a low rumble.  His high end is brought out in the new mix, and this is important because part of Entwistle's technique involved turning up the treble control on his amplifier (as well as the volume control, and I mean REALLY high).  There's a lot of "pluck" or "attack" (meaning the way Entwistle's pick hits his bass strings) that was not evident on the previous versions of this DVD.

It merely mentioned they were successful before they took a hiatus, that three of the four original members had success individually (with the exception of Cuck Panozzo, who I assume is the bassist), and that their reunion became long-term.

One day, they decided to write a song about a hotel in California and call it (Here comes the big surprise) Hotel California. They then put it on an album that sold a bunch of copies. However, all those poor people didn't know that they had wasted a lot of money on songs that either turn out to be an ingenious combination of annoying and boring. The song Hotel California is one of the best-known of all time but really is just a bunch of hillbillys trying to sing and write good songs but coming up way, way short. And the rest isn't much better.
+This video (this time around) was taken from the performance he gave at The Royal Festival Hall in London in June of 2001. This show was part of fellow prog rocker Robert Wyatt's Meltdown concert series. For this performance, David Gilmour decided to go in an semi-unplugged fashion.

Fire on the Mountain, the same version from Dead Set, is very short. It makes me wonder if they were actually trying to appease some producer for a future release. That's pretty much the whole feel of the show (that we see). Although aptly played, each song lacks the X-chemistry edge expected for a hot night. Saint of Circumstance turns out to be the only tune that shows a glimmer of a spark. You know your fishing in a pretty dry hole if the highlight is here!

+Yes, On the Turning Away done live on this album is without question the summit of great lead guitar work. Gilmour bleeds his Strat and blends it with power chords that weaken the knees. Best lead guitar song ever recorded. Stack it against any, and I mean any, guitar solo. There seems to be a "how fast can he play?" or "how complicated can he get?" mentality in music in the past decades.

Jimmy's "Green Eyes," with vocals by Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell, and Tommy's "Marie," with Stuart Foster taking over for Jack Leonard and everyone shouting refrains behind him, are delightful. Tommy also solos on his signature number, "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You."

It's completely boring and unoriginal, not necessarily bad, but not a single song stands out either. These guys sound like a third rate Alice In Chains, which is sad, but Im not entirely surprised. I was never a huge fan of either Gn'R or StP, but I at least appriciated both. CD is over produced... Too much going on. Lacking decent basic melodies. These guys are trying too hard, the whole effort just comes off as phony. Sounds just like any other nu metal crap to me.. Linkin Park and Puddle of Mudd fans should dig it.

Even with their records their live recordings always are better then the studio albums. Fortunately there are a few albums of their live performances that have been released and there are a few DVDs as well that have been issued of the Dead in concert. One of the best DVDs around of them is "Dead Ahead". Recorded in October of 1980 at Radio City Music Hall this is I think one of the very best if not best video out there of The Grateful Dead playing live.

He knew about it, thought about it, and then went on the road and proceeded to let loose like he'd never let loose before. This is a man with absolutely nothing to lose  and no fear of losing what he has. Hicks goes after the audience with as  much ferocity as he does the government, marketing and the world in  general. This is as chilling as it is funny. And to make comparisons to  Lenny Bruce is not enough, because Hicks never stopped...never stood on  stage talking about dying...never pointed out the problems without offering  solutions. To hear this is to understand what stand-up comedy could have  been, lament at what it has become and pray for what it could be...

Ozzy is the real life Homer Simpson, but annoying instead of funny.  Ozzy's voice is shrill, flat, off key and bad.  The only reason it doesn't sound too ear bursting on the video is because Sharon insisted that Ozzy re-record and do voice overs in the studio.

+What makes the album such an outstanfing landmark is that it is probably the first alternative album with such a deep and all-embracing concept. It came out in 1996, when alt rock/metal seemed stuck in pointless pitiful whining with no less pointless anger. Not that Tool lacks anger, but, as Maynard said, anger is nothing wthout compassion. Unlike other things bands that were around, Tool is not at all anti-social (don't get the title track wrong - 'read between the lines'!), simply because a human aware of his surroundings can't be one. Nor is Tool in any way pessimistic; music might seem depressing at first, but when you sink into it, you will probably be 'enlighted' and get energy needed to do positive things, to push things forward.
+After seeing the Cannes screening of the movie that literally sent him home in tears, Elton John, who at the time already had a name in the world of musical theatre as the composer of `The Lion King' and `Aida' in his collaboration with Tim Rice, was certain that the movie has all the potential for a musical adaptation. It is quite a good thing that he stuck to the idea and even more, he decided to use the original creative team that was involved with the movie and had both the knowledge of and love for the material. Thusly the director Stephen Daldry directed and Lee Hall the screenwriter wrote the lyrics for the musical version. After the musical started its previews in March 2005 it was praised by the critics as the best thing that happened to the British musical theatre in years and has been playing to the full house in London's Victoria Palace Theatre night after night. Among other things it won the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award as the best musical.

The answer is that you can't, and Judy Garland, who was arguably the greatest star of golden age Hollywood and easily among the great vocalists of the twentieth (or any other) century, died in 1969 at the age of 47.

+1389	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I've enjoyed the "Delicate Sound of Thunder" (DSOT) ever since it came out.  The music is quite spectacular and most songs were performed with unusual passion (especially the sets with the saxaphone player and the  backup girls in `The Great Gig in the Sky').  What I found distracting was  the way it was filmed.  There were far too many slow-motion shots and I got  sick of the camera focusing on the fans' reactions.  That's where "Pulse"  is superior -- the camera work is seamless and focused on the light show  and the group, just as I did when I saw the live concert.  Make no mistake,  DSOT should be high on your list, and absolutely belongs in your library.  I watch "Pulse" for a true concert experience, and DSOT for the inspiring  performances.  Between 1 and 10, DSOT gets a solid 8.
+The quality of the sound is excellent - would you expect anything less from Steely Dan?  Sitting in the middle of the surround sound either in DTS or Dolby Digital mode makes it seem like you were there at the concert.  Hearing the horns come from the rear speakers is kind of odd at first but it actually places you as one of the band members at the concert.  I like the DTS better but they're both done very well.  Every instrument is so clear and distinct, and everything is in balance.  The video portion is done well, too. And the songs: I am a big Steely Dan fan so all I can say is the music is great.  I especially like the way "Bad Sneakers" was performed.

+ii. The songs that were recorded live, namely Cold  And Ugly And Jerk-Off, apart from being downright scary in their thunderous  venting of spleen, resonate with uncommon clarity and cohesion.
+Assembled in (mostly) chronological order, "Endless Summer" is a snapshot of a simpler but nonetheless culturally significant time in America, prior to the turbulence of Vietnam, Nixon and other darkly significant turning points in American history. It also captures a moment in time for the band itself, before "Pet Sounds" and "Good Vibrations" represented a shift in their musical direction that, while showing an appreciable growth in artistry, had an adverse affect on their commercial viability. This is all about when The Beach Boys were the quintessential American band, creating effortless pop masterpieces filled with the hope and optimism of the early 1960s'. While there were hints of the darker side of Brian Wilson's writing during this time ("In My Room," "Warmth of the Sun," and perhaps even "Don't Worry, Baby"), "Endless Summer for the most part showcases the instantly catchy hooks and sun drenched harmonies that defined their earliest classics like "Surfin' U.S.A.," "Fun, Fun, Fun" and "Be True to Your School." Underrated gems such as "All Summer Long," "Let Him Run Wild," and "Girl Don't Tell Me" sit nicely alonside the timeless gems everyone knows, and at the time gave them much needed exposure to fans just discovering this music.

+1525	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	True there are some faults with this show, but come on folks, this was one great concert. Read the reviews and you will see how many people contradict one another. The only problem I had was Sinead was barely audible when singing "Mother". Members of "The Band" singing the  mother's part was good. Roger in concert 7-13-00 at the Garden sings his  part and has the female vocalists sing the mother's part. I like to hear  good artists doing other people's music. The fact that so many major acts  of that time showed up, shows the respect that Roger Waters gets in the  music industry. I feel that they stayed as true to the music as possible.  His band, The Bleeding Heart Band can play this piece as well as Pink Floyd  did. Rick Difonzo plays his guitar almost exactly like Mr. Gilmour. Mr.  Waters still has some of these great musicians in his band today like  Graham Broad, Andy Fairweather Low and Snowy White. Rent the video and if  you don't like it then you don't know a classic show even if it bites you  on your behind. The Scorpions did an excellent job with "In the  Flesh" both parts and I'm not a Scorpions fan. Van Morrison did a very  soulful version of "Comfortably Numb". The Orchestra was superb,  they probably never preformed in front of such a large audience. Any one  who claims to be a Waters fan or a Pink Floyd fan should enjoy this CD and  the video. I wish this would be released on DVD, then you have the best of  both worlds. Any chance to see Roger Waters in concert no matter what band  he has or music he chooses to perform should jump at the chance. This  concert was an historical event and is a must for any collector of live  shows.

There are so many powerful moments on it, and while you might play it for one number or two you will often find yourself listening to the entire piece.

Carlton plays a hyperkinetic style of one-drop, a style that went on to shape all of reggae and other 80s pop sounds.

It seems that they are not quite as polished, and the crowd isn't quite as pumped up as on the album version.
+9830	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	This is the album that could have been but wasn't. In the late 70s, Bowie moved to Berlin to change everything about his life. This would very much include his music. Holing up in the studio for a series of albums with Eno as co-conspirator, great things seemed possible (in retrospect, anyway). However, on this album, Bowie doesn't deliver the goods. Famous in the 70s for entering the studio with just ideas, then crafting songs on the spot with the musicians brought in for the sessions, Bowie's quality control (which to this point had been excellent) failed on Low. There is just no quality material for Eno to work with here (check out the lyrics on "Be My Wife"....Bowie previsously would never had released such trite stuff). Eno certainly did his part--all the refreshing and unique production and synth techniques that made his "Here Come the Warm Jets" such a fantastic album years earlier are present all over Low. But, where on "Here Come the Warm Jets" these techniques were coupled with equally interesting musical ideas and lyrics, on Low it's all sauce and no entree. Eno can't be blamed for this....the "artist" needs to come in with something, and side one of this album clearly shows that Bowie had nothing more than a desire to do something radically different from his previous work. That is a noble idea, but then you've got to back it up. He failed to do that here. By side two, Eno is left to carry the ball on an album that is supposed to be Bowie's--no doubt an uncomfortable position to be in (though these side two "Eno tracks" are pretty good electronic music). It may be that the Low sessions were an invaluable experience for Bowie to go through, because they gave him ideas that coalesced in later works, but that doesn't make the album itself any better.

+I imediately enjoyed "Nothing At All," "Did You Mean It," and "Praise Song."  In fact, having "Nothing At All" start the sequencing and then finishing with "Praise Song" is a stroke of genius.  As with the remaining ten songs sandwiched in between, the whole album demonstrates strong lyrics, talented musicians, and Mac Powell's signature vocals.  There is a good mixture of guitar rockers ("Consuming Fire" for example), power ballads ("Thief"), and acustic gems ("Take My Life").

Admittedly it doesn't make its way into the player quite as much any more, but when it does these tunes always hit the spot. Morphine was a power trio of a different sort, a two string bass, a sax player, and a drummer. As a guitarist, not the type of band I would normally be interested in, but with a sound so bass heavy I couldn't resist. Songs like "Buena" and "Thursday" practically blew me out of the room when I first heard them, proving that Morphine could utilize elements of jazz and still rock hard in the age of grunge. Not to mention the haunting opening of "Dawna" and closing of "Miles Davis' Funeral" that bookend this disc. The clincher though was "In Spite Of Me", a totally atypical Morphine song steeped in reverb drenched mandolins and echo chamber vocals from vocalist Mark Sandman. I first heard this song while watching the darkly hilarious and excellent independent film "Spanking The Monkey", which turned me on to Morphine in the first place. I personally want this song played at my funeral: love the lyrics, love Sandman's voice, love the whole vibe. To me, it stands as one of the most perfect songs ever written. Mark Sandman's passing only makes the lyrics that much more poignant. I also love "Let's Take A Trip Together", a song that I doubt by its arrangement could have been about anything other than LSD. Overall, a wild, eclectic ride that I can't do without.

I know because I collect DVD concerts whenever I can find good ones.  Unfortunately, Amazon often fails to list the songs performed on a specific DVD, making it more difficult to select a good concert.  This DVD is the exception.  Smokey is on top of his game and at his best in this concert!  Additionally, he performs some of his greatest hits, some of which he has not performed in a long time.  As a bonus he performs some more recent songs which are in the classic Smokey style and tradition!...All Smokey fans must get this DVD!

+Although this film was shot during the beginning of the Reagan presidency, much of what Gil Scott-Heron talks about is still revelant today. One cannot help but sense the irony when Scott-Heron refers to the then vice president as George "Papa Doc" Bush, when his son, George W. (who as governor of Texas, lead the nation in executions), will soon succeed Bill Clinton as president of the United States.  Also, Scott-Heron's commentary on Reagan's so called election "mandate" is sure to elicit a response for those who witnsssed the razor-thin election of 2000, which brought George W. to the White House.  You can bet this documentary will not be on W.'s required viewing list!

+"Weasels" is a sampler of performances by the original Mothers Of Invention in the late 1960's, live and studio. Some of the live material is of questionable quality, but it does faithfully convey some of the more out-there work by this troup of gifted musicians. You can use this to bend the ear of folks you don't like, as another reviewer said on this page, but actually, pieces like "Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Sexually Aroused Gas Mask," as grating as it is, when you give it a little concentrated listening, are really intricate, well-rendered works. But, keep in mind, if you haven't heard this material before, you have been warned. If you don't like really bizarre music (some of this, one would say, isn't music), you will not like this at all. Of course, fans of Frank Zappa, and particularly, The Mothers Of Invention, fully appreciate this stuff; the odder, usually, the better. This is why I titled this review, "FIVE STARS, CONDITIONALLY;" you will either love it, or you will hate it, no in-between.

In between songs, Art Garfunkel talks, and we can see him and James Taylor pefrom Crying the Rain, along with the other songs that are on this cd. But sorry Simon & Garfunkel fans, this is just Art in this concert, so you have to see Live on Stage, or the concert in the park, if you want to see Paul and Art pefroming together.

+6363	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	When I was going through my 1000+ CDs to look for ideas for the Music unit of the Popular Culture class I teach, I have come to the conclusion that "Madman Across the Water" was a seminal album in my life. I seriously started listening to FM radio in the early Seventies because that was the only place to hear "Levon," which was my favorite song for about half a year (I believe it was replaced by "Knife's Edge" by Emerson, Lake & Palmer). Consequently, the shift in my musical appreciation from Top Forty to more sophisticated musical forms can be traced to this particular song Elton John song and this special album.

This torch was passed from person to person around the globe until it was returned to the UN the final day of the year. This was the first Earth run. Not an athletic event for individual competition. But athleticism to express a desire for world peace. Considering jazz has always spoken to the people,in all of it's many forms,about different aspects of the social environment around them it was no surprise that the talented and very in demand contemporary jazz guitarist Lee Ritenour was deeply effected by this and made an album itself commemorating this important event.

+What pulls all this nonsense together is the music, of course, and in the newly-restored footage there's a lot of it. Marc and the band are in top form, somehow managing to cut through the teenybop adulation with real, loud, rock'n'roll. Whether or not Bolan's Tolkien-esque lyrics are your cup of tea, Ringo certainly knew enough about pop idols to keep the camera focused on Marc and let the myth take care of itself. What's surprising about the Wembley audience is the intensity on fans' faces, both girls and boys -- when Bolan breaks into a wicked version of "Summertime Blues" there's just a hint of the Sex Pistols' punk sneer that was just five years away.

From the ethereal beginning of "Too Many people" to the teenage lament of "Back Seat Of My Car", he just bounces with delight.  "Ram On" spirits a delightfully wispy ditty and "Smile Away" is a romping jokester of a song.  It's interesting that with all these good songs, only one single was released, but it is a staple.  "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" is a classic single with enough bridges and chord changes to delight any music student or pop aficionado.  Adding "Another Day" (a homage to women and Linda) and "Oh Woman, Oh Why" (ditto, again), completes this period of McCartney, but Remastering the entire album is a marvel and makes it sound like the first listen from over thirty years ago.

Belkis, Queen of Sheba is an exotic ballet (80 minutes in length) that tells the story of the journey of the Queen to the court of King Solomon.

The music perhaps is bombastic, particularly the War Dance) but there are moments of exceptional beauty as in the Dance of Belkis at Dawn, where the Queen dances in honor of the newly risen Sun.  The Orgiastic Dance is a frenzy of excitement of Dionysian proportions that brought the audience at the premiere to its feet.

Theres a couple of nice little "behind the scenes" documentarys to, one for "Secret World", and one for his more recent "Growing Up" tour.  Both are informative and show some cool offstage footage. Worth seeing.  Also included is a remix of "Quiet Steam" (the song itself is not a remix of "Steam", but a total re-recording), over which a montage of photos from the tour are shown.  The photos aren't very interesting, but the remix of "Steam" is quite cool.

In the 70's there was KISS,  there was ZEPPLIN, and there was THE EAGLES.  If you don't like this, you don't understand what rock is about.  So many of THE EAGLES songs are great, I couldn't even begin to name them all.  This band is responsible for some of the greatest rock songs ever written.  This was a very defining album for the group.  They were huge when it came out, but after it's release in the summer of '76, their popularity went through the roof.  Many people don't realize that some of their best songs, were ones that never made a hit at all.  This band didn't have any "filler songs".  Every song was always awesome.  THE EAGLES are the true saga of a great American sucsess story, and their legend will always fly on!

+Last up are Kid Clean and Anne de Sicle, our French female that stands for End of the Century, as in Steely Dan enters the new millennia. Remember, this was the year 2000. Opening with electric crickets, West Of Hollywood epitomizes the California cool it is aiming for. A few miles away, natures waves may be spreading out their timeless presence, slow and deliberate, but in the city, these cats are laying down some plush chops. Expect to tap your feet and bob your head when the beat and those flash sax strokes get to you. The playing is immaculate and detailed, spontaneous and fun. They just seem to go with the flow and ride the wave all the way to the end, where underwater bubbles remind you that it is good to have Steely Dan back in the flow of things.
+9346	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The best Pete Townsend solo album, in my view.  Thoughtful and skilled songwriting, superb vocals and musicianship.
+  One of the things about this album that's the most interesting for me is seven of it's eight songs all carry such a flowing structure from song to song. Much in the manner of John Coltranes acoustic (and far far far more musically iconic) 'A Love Supreme'? There's a strong melodic sax them that runs throughout this album. And variating into different ones with each song. Rhythmically it's a light drum brushing tone-along with a heavily reverbed and processed Rhodes electric piano. "Tone Row Weaver" stands out as more unique-with it's upbeat reggae lilt.
+Some twenty years after the peak of his popularity, Ocean's best known pop hits are considerably less dated than one might expect--largely because he did not rely exclusively on the heavily synthesized sound so typical of most 1980s performers.  The best of his work, really, is in such ballads as "There'll Be Sad Songs," "Suddenly," and "Love Zone," but several of his higher energy dancefloor cuts also survive extremely well, most notably the sharply cadenced "Loverboy."  It's a nice package, all of it easy on the ears, all of it playing out with good sound quality.
+"Part of Me" is a song with personality, a song about a part of males that controls us, and yet we do not want that control sometimes. It's amazing how a piece of you can be so much in control when it does only a couple of things. The drums lead this piece, but the guitar crunches are more Black Sabbath than Led Zeppelin. Solid metal.

+As 'Rock N Roll With Me' ends the second half of the album begins, the concept that was before mentioned. It is no secret that Bowie is an amazing intelectual and is very well read. Nineteen Eighty Four is not only one of the most important and best novels of all time but a personal favorite for Bowie inspiring the remander of the album, 'We Are The Dead' '1984' 'Big Brother' and 'Chant...' While many feel that Bowie was reaching with this concept, quite the contrarer is the case because this is some of Bowies most inspired tracks on the record, not to mention they gave a hint as to what was to come on one of his best albums, Low a few years later. A lawsuit was issued about the subject matter of the songs which was ludicris because he as just paying tribute to a legand. Diamond Dogs was released in 1974, ten years before 1984, so it was clearly a tribute. It is a shame that bowie was sued but not the people who made the dreadful fill years later. the track 1984 really gave us a climpse into what would come on the album Young Americans, as well as disco before it was disco. Thats just like Bowie  to be on the front line of future.
+Too Many People - One of the songs on this album that John Lennon thought were veiled attacks on him and Yoko Ono. Hearing lyrics like `too many people preaching practices" and "that was your first mistake;You took your lucky break and you broke it in two", it's easy to see Lennon's reasoning. Great guitar work and Linda's backup vocals fit the song snugly. B-Side of the chart topping Uncle Albert/ Admiral Halsey.

+2771	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	The terms which this movie is billed as, "emotionally gripping" & "riveting," may be overselling a little, as the story is quite enjoyable up until the unpleasentness discussed in the last 10 or 20 minutes.  The first thing you may notice is that the story is unnarrated and told via interview footage in the style of the Beatles Anthology.  However, seeing as how there is not an endless supply of photographs & video footage of Badfinger like there is for the Beatles, this creates a problem of seeing the same pictures a few too many times throughout the video.  (For instance, a black & white photograph of evil manager Stan Polley is shown at every mention of his name, which gets a little irritating.)  The only other real problem is that, because of the lack of narration, you pretty much have to already know the basic gist of Badfinger's story to know what's going on.

The only major drawback is a clunky track of "Bee-Bop Tango" which goes far too long and includes a dance contest which doesn't translate to audio at all. Still, despite this flaw at the end, an album that will enchant you and might even make you laugh.

+Madonna is not all about sex, although she uses  it well to her advantage.  Her videos show more substance.  One of my  favorites is her S&M-themed 'Human Nature' video where she uses the  song and the wonderful choreography to tell her critics to back off of her  public image.  The beautifully done 'Bedtime Story' was way ahead of it  time, with it's techno beats.  And hey, if you're still not convinced to  get the video collection, then you should watch 'Beautiful Stranger' where  Mike Myers makes a cameo appearance.  Madonna seductively comes on to him  the whole which makes the video quite hillarious.

As a long time Joe Sample and Crusaders fans, it was good for me to enjoy what I would consider to be "vintage" Crusader stuff. It also did me a lot of good for me to hear my favorite bassist, Marcus Miller, added to the mix. He adds that touch of funk that only he can do. With Marcus thumpin' the bass, Joe tickling the ivory, and the rest of the guys doing their things, you can't help but love this piece. "Healing the Wounds" is probably the best Crusader cd to date.

The Other songs on the cd have some clear Guns Roses influences as well but they are usually not the dominant thing in the songs that would be Scott Weiland in my opinion.  I think that Scott was already trying to lead Stone Temple Pilots in a similiar direction Velvet Revolver takes on this cd based on listening to the bonus track on Thank You (stp's greatest hits) thats just my opinion though listen to it and decide for yourself if it does or doesnt sound like he was leaning that direction before he even joined VR(all in the suit that you wear).

The Judy Garland Christmas Show (which aired December 22, 1963) is an intimate, informal night at home with Judy and the kids, a few guests, a group of carolers, and a troupe of skinny, dancing Santas.  There are a few small gaffes here and there on the part of several individuals, but everyone just laughs them off and goes on singing; that does much to create the atmosphere of charm surrounding the whole presentation.  As the show opens, we find Judy sitting in front of the windowsill of her "home" with her two youngest children, young Joe and Lorna Luft, to whom she sings Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - this song alone makes the show worth seeing.  The kids seem a little nervous (this was recorded in front of a live studio audience, of course), but there is no end to the affection displayed by Judy as she sings.  After this opening number, Judy opens the door to welcome us inside, whereupon she and the kids do a walk-around performance of Consider Yourself, during which daughter Liza arrives with her beau Tracy Everitt to join in the fun.  Judy, ever the doting mother, then asks her son to sing Where Is Love? from Oliver.  This can be rather painful to listen to and is luckily fairly short, as little Joe proves that singing ability can sometimes skip a generation.

+The album is also more accessible than earlier recordings, carrying a, albeit arcane, theme more recognizably throughout the tracks. In terms of sheer enjoyment, this is among my favorites. Zappa's ingenious use of atypical instrumentation (Ie bicycle horns accompanying more traditional horns), along with the eviscerating electric violin by virtuoso Sugar Cane Harris and the splendid piano set-pieces performed by Ian Underwood, show how FZ was able to meld his own musical direction with that of the jazz fusion impetus of the time. And besides, FZ plays some awesome guitar on these tracks as well, some of his best jams in my opinion. Afterall, I primarily begame a Zappa fan first because of his incredible skill on guitar. As FZ was quoted to say: "Jazz isn't dead. It just smells funny."

+2143	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	I feel like the big, bad wolf for bringing down the 3 previous reviewers 5-star average but at the same time I feel the need to explain a different point of view on this album.  I was happy to hear Geezer return and stay  for a Martin album after the failed reunion with Dio in '92.  I was eagerly  awaiting what Bobby Rondinelli would bring to the grooves.  With all this  anticipation on its side, maybe "Cross Purposes" was not going to  measure up no matter what, in my eyes.  I feel that the main problem with  the spin is not that it doesn't rock, but that the complexity and song  arrangements are never challenging.  I would say that  "Psychophobia" is the closest thing to audio excitement acheived  here.  And I heard that Eddie Van Halen was on board to co-write "Evil  Eye,"  but apparently to no avail... sounds just like the rest  (granted, with a nice Sab stomper of an opening riff).  Funny side note:  I  set my CD player to wake me up and forgot to take this disc out (normally  waking up to something pretty mellow) and instead was greeted by the  opening chords of "I Witness," which startled me so much that I  whacked my head on the bed headboard... so I guess that says something  about Iommi's playing.

I bought that CD myself a year  ago, and listened to it now and then.  But, I wanted to get the whole  Steely Dan "experience," so I asked for the "Citizen Steely  Dan" box set last Christmas.

+Overnite Sensation gets Five Stars.
+Several tracks on this album are special because they successfully blend the raw qualities of Pete's voice with those of choruses trained and directed by Paul Halley, a long-time collaborater - as keyboardist, composer and arranger - of Winter's. "The Water is Wide" and "To My Old Brown Earth" fall comfortably in this category, as does "Of Time and Rivers Flowing". Choral arranging (a specialty of Halley's) and singing of this level of excellence has a way of giving one the shakes. And it reaches a level of simply ineffable beauty in "To My Own Brown Earth." There must have been those, naysayers all, who predicted that this approach would never work for Pete's music, with Pete's voice. Trust me; it does!

+But, as I always do with Steely Dan efforts, I gave it more of a chance, and over time, it began to really glow. The lyrics seem to be less important here, consistent with my original impression.

+4379	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	While my family is a BIG fan of Mannheim Steamroller and of figure skating and also think the character lineup and story line and choreography of this production is great, the production quality of this DVD is absolutely pathetic. There are 3 areas on this disc that break up so badly, as if there was a bad rainstorm while watching satellite TV, that we thought that the disc itself was flawed. We complained to Amazon and they kindly gave is a free return label and immediately sent us another new DVD. Well, the new DVD was identical in every flawed detail to the first one. The producers and marketers of this DVD have a lot to learn about quality control and customer satisfaction. I am following up this review with an attempt to contact the producers and get them to do the right thing but it will probably be a fruitless task. We are just thankful to Amazon for their efforts in trying to correct bad product concern.
+A full, rich warm bodied sound that establishes a benchmark for all others to aspire to (but very few do .... unfortunately).

+4715	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Steely Dan's fist album in 20 years fails to disapoint.  As though the Grammy wins weren't enough to credit the album's true merit, the album lives up to each glowing review.  The pristine, clean-cut sounds and the album's mellow instruemental overtones conspire to make a truly great disc.  It's certainly not a 'kareokee album' in any way, the songs are very much instrumental and the lyrics are a bit too abstract for one to really enjoy the lyrical content of Two Against Nature.  Interestingly enough, in a year chalk full of controversy (sponsored by Eminem), Steely Dan did what some could call 'controversial' by making the Grammy-winning song "Cousin Dupree".  The song describes an interest between two long-lost cousins with a small reference to incest.  Appearantly controversy is becoming much more of a trend than it ever has in the music industry.
+  Fast forward over twenty years later. There's now a lot less hair on top of my head and a bit more (O.K. a lot more) belly on my frame (Shades of Jerry!). Still lovin' the Dead, but I'm getting a little snobby in my old age, mainly listening to their '70s material these days. I'm taking down the family Halloween decorations, while my brand new copy of "Dead Ahead" is hitting the DVD laser. This grabs my 4 year old's attention, because the TV lights up with an opening, trippy montage of band members, skeletons and other symbols (which fascinates him). For those not up on their Dead History, in 1980 the Grateful Dead did a month long stint at both the Warfield in S.F. and Radio City Music Hall in NYC. "Dead Ahead" captures a Holloween night, when the band kicks back on the Radio City stage (made up like a folksy, country porch at dusk) and reaches back to their folk/jugband roots with acoustic instruments. Thats right! The Dead were going unplugged, way before it became hip and the insideus weasles in the MTV Marketing Dept. co-opted the concept. Well as I'm getting my work done (with one eye on the TV) I suddenly realize that I'm humming the tunes and getting into the show! There are just beautiful versions of songs like "Uncle John's Band" and "Ramble on Rose". I especially love Jerry's guitar parts on "Bird Song", which just seem to magically go on forever. By the time "Ripple" ends the acoustic portion of the show, I'm in DeadHead Heaven! Bravo GD! The rest of the show is an electric set, which pretty much sums up the band's '80s concerts. It features fine versions of "Lost Sailor/St. of Circumstance", "Franklin's Tower" and "Fire on the Mt". Emceeing the show is SNL comedy team 'Franken & Davis'. While they might not be everyone's 'cup of tea' I always found their persnickity, smart a** sense of humor, to be right on target to the Grateful Dead sensibility. I especially found their 'Henry Kissinger gets caught bootlegging a GD show' (featuring Mr. Bill Kreutzmann) bit, pretty darn hilarious! As for the DVD itself, not too bad. Love the DVD menus featuring the original concert artwork (infamously hated by the Radio City management) of two giant skeletons hanging out on the iconic venue. The picture quality and sound is OK and it's the best your going to do with over twenty year old video tape. The DVD's bonus section features 50 more minutes of material, not included in the show's original release. This includes a beautiful acoustic/instrumental version of Bob Weir's "Heaven Help the  Fool" (which I always thought of as a vastly underrated song). For a laid back evening of wonderful music, I highly recommend "Grateful Dead: Dead Ahead".

+Absolutely! Even though most of the tracks are similar in style, on some the combination of light and sound heightens the experience. Also, the video-only tracks are well worth hearing. But perhaps the most stunning difference is in "Sorrow". While the CD version takes a more mournful, softer approach, the video version is a hard-rocking tune that draws the most passionate playing out of all three members. If David Gilmour and Nick Mason are on fire, then Richard Wright is positively explosive on this song. Letting loose with a screaming, uncharacteristically aggressive Hammond assault, one almost wonders if the keys will survive such a performance (especially given the fire in his eyes!).
+7902	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Richard Thompson has, in the last decade or so, finally received his due as one of the finest songwriters/guitarists to emerge out of the UK folk-rock school of the early 70s -- although I'd wager a wad that many of his present-day listeners are sadly unaware of this stunning early work. A founding member of the legendary Fariport Convention, he also lent his amazing guitar to sessions by many other artists (notably the late Nick Drake), always showing up ready to contribute some masterful, tasteful playing. He also released a series of (mostly) good solo recordings, as well as some with his then-wife Linda. This, his first outing under his own name, is quite simply stunning in both musicianship (besides Richard, the album features a veritable who's who of the 70s British folk scene) and songwriting -- and it has stood well the test of time.

+904	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Oh My GOD I can not believe some of the negative criticism this album is getting.  I can not understand nor fathom where this would come from.  Maybe because music fans are allowing themselves to be subjected and manipulated by the pu**y rock being put out these days.  Everyone knows that the best rock was put out in the 80's/early 90's from Van Halen, Guns N Roses, STP, Aerosmith, etc.  Ever since the day GNR left the music scene it hasn't been the same.  Nirvana and STP kept rock and roll alive, but couldn't save a dying breed.  When I first heard that Weiland was joining the former members of Guns N Roses the hair on my back stood up.  In one thought I realized the potential and how much success this band could potentially have.....IF......Weiland could keep his drug addicted self out of rehab.  On the other hand my pessismistic side said that no way this group of dysfunctional musicians will keep it together.  The latter remains to be seen, but I have to admit that this is the best album I have probably heard in at least 5 years.  In a way it is confusing because some songs sound exactly like an STP song, and some sound like a classic GNR song.  Not that either is bad, just that it makes it hard to see an undestictable identity.  Honestly that doesn't bother me at all since I loved both groups and the music they made.  Both were different in sound, but both were entertaining and enjoyable to listen to.  Contraband is a combination of music styles that sounds familiar only revved up like this is the last chance for them.  After hearing this album, there is no such thing as a last chance unless some certain members can not keep themselves out of rehab.  I can honestly say that I have never  listened to an album that I have enjoyed every song on it, but there is a first for everything and this is IT!!  I am not saying every song is the best ever written and played, but every song is enjoyable.  This album grabs you by the balls from the very first song and doesn't let you go!  Every song is worth listening to and I can't understand any criticism it gets.  The best rock album of the last 5 years and hopefully more good things to come from them in the future.  A MUST HAVE if you like Rock N Roll!!

I have friends that just HATE these guys, but I consider them to be the most intelligent thing about post 1960 jazz! Unlike other  "fusion" acts, Steely understands the meaning of a hook. It's  really the only jazz fusion that doesn't seem like futile, endless-scale  noodling!  "Two Against Nature" is as clever and infectious as  anything they've ever delivered. Much more cohesive than Fagen's  "Kamakiriad", this record proves that these guys need each other  to really make things gel. I love it. I might call it my favorite, but  Steely Dan is one of the few bands where it's difficult to pick a fave.  Love em' or hate em'. Most folks do. Few are indifferent.  J.
+1071	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Much debate has stemmed from this album - was Shatner playing a great practical joke on his fans or was he actually serious in reinterpreting the pop hits of the day to get his credentials in the Peace & Love Generation? Either way this is hilarious, and manages to be my favorite outsider recording aside from The Shaggs' "Philosophy of the World". Shatner's stone-cold emotionless renditions of "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" and "Mr. Tambourine Man" are cult favorites for good reason, and remain the most popular tracks off this album. However, the rest of the LP is just as classic. The good thing about William Shatner is that nowadays he realizes he IS William Shatner, and can look back at this ablum and enjoy it (I have yet to hear his new recording "Has Been"). One of the greatest mysteries in popular culture is wether this is a conceptual comedy masterpeice or a serious attempt at something meaningful. Either way, its a must-buy for fans of camp and kitsch.
+4808	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	My housemate and officemates have been "tortured" (their descriptor, not mine) for a week now with my Steely Dan collection and exuberance over the release of the new album. They reminded me that I was  treading a thin line of expecting too much and that the album could never  live up to what I imagined. Really, it's everything I imagined. In an age  of pop where sonic clutter is thought of as an asset - but which can mask a  shallow depth of music - Two Against Nature is a wondrous achievement. The  clean compositional lines, the attention to craft, the melding of multiple  instrument and vocal overlays into a beautiful whole, the introductions to  unique and fleshed-out characters - all marks of a typical Steely Dan  outing, but a rarity in today's pop marketplace. And yes, it certainly is a  nod to their past, building on the jazz structures of Aja and the cool,  detached production of Gaucho. Some might say that this is a pattern mired  in safety, playing it safe. But the album is truly a logical musical  progression (with some nostalgic nods), as well as a very welcome return.

It includes four No. 1 singles CARIBBEAN QUEEN in 1984, WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, TOUGH GETS GOING in 1985-86 which was used as the theme song for JEWEL OF THE NILE, THERE'LL BE SAD SONGS in 1986 and GET OUTTA MY DREAMS in 1988. For music fans who love the music during 80s, Billy Ocean hits songs are definitely a part of it. Particularly I love LOVERBOY with some rockin' guitar solo. During mid 80s he and Lionel Richie are the kings of adult contemporary field. This album is a nice place to get to know him but I hope 2CD compilation may cover his early songs too.

During an interview, Slash explained that the production was done in a way that would replicate their live sound, a raw, raunchy kick in the derriere kind of sound. Wheather you like it or not, its up to you. My favorites on the album are as most, the hits "fall to pieces" and "slither". These songs show off some of the prior beauty these guys had back in the glory days of GNR and STP. These two songs in my opinion make the album worth owning. They're that good. The rest of the album is only average with some minor glimpses at genious. Overall, this is a solid effort and I would expect this group of fine talent to develop nicely within the next couple albums.

+3651	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	What a treat for us fans of the real, legendary Moody Blues, at their peak, when Mike Pinder still graced the stage with Justin Hayward and the others. The Moodies produced seven wonderful albums between 1967 and 1972 before Mike Pinder left the band (and took the magic with him) and the rest of the guys carried on in a decidedly different musical direction. They were "The Moody Blues" thereafter, playing along with various keyboard players, drummers, extra singers and orchestras, to much acclaim and financial success. Plenty of videos of this whole extravaganza, for sure! But until now never any video of the real Moodies. So this DVD is priceless. Watch it and enjoy the Moody Blues live. And maybe, just maybe, this release might inspire the five Moodies to get together one more time for a concert reunion. There aren't many bands left from the 60s-70s with all their members still around, but the Moody Blues are all still with us. So how about it Mike, Ray, Justin, John and Graeme? Please?

+The most startling thing about GG, and which "Hated" does a good job of portraying, was his enthusiasm for both receiving and dispensing violence and humiliation.

+Now if you like Frank because he did "Yellow  Snow," you're probably not going to agree with me.  It's not a pop  album, and complaining that "some of the tracks just go on  aimlessly" misses the point entirely.  "Weasels" is short on  juvenile humor and long on formalistic revolution.  Like many Zappa albums,  beginning with "Freak Out!", the whole is much greater than the  sum of, what in this case might seem like particularly disjointed, parts.  Throwing "Directly From My Heart To You," with great electric  violin from Sugarcane Harris, in next to free jazz (but of course nothing  Frank did was really "free," it was always planned as part of his  overarching Project...), is what makes "Weasels" so exhilarating.  You can't take any of the pieces completely seriously when they're placed  in such wild juxtoposition with radically different sounds and structures.  Of course, it does contain a couple of Zappa's best compositions,  "Toads of the Short Forest" and "The Orange County Lumber  Truck," and some of Frank's great guitar.

+Cream were renowned for their punchy blues-rock anthems, and this their third offering contains the excellent 'White Room', their interpretation of 'Born Under A Bad Sign' as well as their signature blues tune 'Politician'.  The first CD, where the aforementioned tracks appear, was recorded in the studio, while the second CD contains lengthy blues jams recorded live at the Fillmore East.  Depending on your preference, either one or both CDs may tickle your fancy.  Many musicians revere the Live recording, as it gives full scope to each of the threesome's awesome musical prowess, as they ! stretch improvisations to the outer limits.  This may prove too long and 'boring' for some, who may indeed prefer the shorter, more accessible tunes found on the first CD.  As a whole, the album showcases the powertrio at the height of their powers.  For those wishing to obtain a more concise overview of Cream's music, any one of their "Best of"... collections is recommended.  Those in a more adventurous mood will love "Wheels Of Fire".

+While Andrew Manze is considered to the finest technical Baroque violinist of his generation, Rachel Podger is more known for her beautifully shaped and tonally warm Baroque playing (eg: her Bach violin sonatas with Trevor Pinnock or her Bach solo partitas).  Her intonation is some of the finest around and creates a most warm and inviting sound.  But, if it is the virtuostic and wild side of the Baroque that most captures your interest, definately check out Andrew Manze's recordings of the more obscure Baroque violin virtuosos (Biber, Tartini, Schmelzer) which get fine critical acclaim.

+Having recently been disappointed by the George Harrison album of supposedly unreleased outtakes, with little information or notes, it is excellent that Paul is releasing his albums the way us obsessive collectors long for - particularly good to have the mono version of the album, previously only available to record stations and a real sought after item among fans. The sheer amount of material in this collection is aimed to please - a new documentary, "Ramming" on the DVD, narrated by Paul, along with the music videos for "3 legs" and "Heart of the Country" , `Hey Diddle' and `Eat At Home on Tour' shows just how involved he was in creating this set and in the quality control in making sure this set is just how he, and we, want it to be. Re-mastered at Abbey Road by the same team who re-mastered the Beatles boxed set, it is a real bonus that Paul is now turning his attention to his solo work.

Yes, I admit the crowd is anemic at best, and yes there are "better" Queen concerts yet to be released (hurry up already! LOL)...but truthfully, I prefer this over Live at Wembley. It's an occasionally bumpy ride, but the RAW POWER of this performance overrides it all. For example, songs like "Tie Your Mother Down" and "Now I'm Here" fly out of the gates at an amped-up pace, where I thought the Wembley versions showed more polish & restraint. It's also a plus seeing Freddie handling all the keyboard duties (except for part of "Save Me", courtesy of Brian), which he doesn't do on Wembley...and speaking of keyboards, there's no candy-floss synths sprinkled about in this show, unlike the Wembley performance. It's Queen, warts and all, and it's a raw & honest kick-ass show. If only the audience had even half of the intensity of Wembley's, then that would've been the icing on the cake. Finally, if you've already seen this, BUT it was the previously issued version, you owe it to yourself to check out this upgraded release...better sound, and MUCH more colorful picture, which gives the performance better justice than before.
+There isn't a bad song in the bunch, and mercilessly, MERCILESSLY, while the audience is audible at times, they are completely invisible to the camera, and there are none of the dreaded audience sing-alongs.  Neil's voice is at times strained by that insidious Mother Nature, but these recordings reinforce the reality of Young's continued musical relevance.  Only a handful of performers, among them Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton, have managed to do what Neil has done... not only survived, but thrived in both the 1960's and the 1990's, and every decade in between.  Thank You, Neil.  You've help make it a wonderful trip.

This is a mature and finely crafted album, with mystifying songs of pathetic love ("Maureen"), mildly scolding morality tales ("Unwed Fathers"), a patent-pending Prine-style nonsense song ("Bottomless Lake"), and the ethereal, life-affirming lullaby, "Only Love."  Prine took five years to organize his life so that he could make the records he wanted to make, and the results straight out the gate were pretty impressive.  Highly, highly recommended.

The beat is bad enough, but the chorus (a repeat from Oh My God) isn't really praise to god.  It sounds more like saying God's name in vain.  So that song fails on every count.  When those songs are taken out, the last track contains the outro to the Tour Guide, so those songs aren't a loss in any way.

+9768	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	That's exactlty what David Bowie's Low is. Released in 1977, Low was a complete departure from David Bowie's previous albums, particularly Station to Station. Low marked a change for Bowie both musically and personally. Eager to kick his drug addiction, he relocated to Berlin, Germany. The end result was Low. At the time of the album's release, many David Bowie fans were confused. And some of the critics were less than receptive. But in the years since, Low has been hailed as one of Bowie's best albums. The first half of Low is upbeat songs ("Speed of Life, A New Career in A New Town"). The second half is slower, darker, atmospheric tracks ("Warszawa, Art Decade, Subterraneans"). All in all, I highly recommend Low for any and all music fans.

+858	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Could it be?!? After 35 years, could we finally have found the all-female band worthy of succeeding Fanny as the Queens of Rock and Roll? With FROM THE GROUND UP, the debut release from Antigone Rising, the answer just might be yes. Oh, sure, both the GoGo's and the Bangles have been hugely successful, while groups ranging from the Donnas to Lillix to The Like have all generated varying degrees of press, but thus far no band has matched Fanny's real understanding of the word "nuance", nor has such a great appreciation of variety come into play....until now, with the five ladies of Antigone Rising. Much like the perfect blending of June and Jean Millington's and Alice de Buhr's Motown and California surf roots with Nickey Barclay's classic English rock ones, the women of Antigone Rising take rock, folk, country and R&B and mix it into a unique sound that is all their own. I will admit I was a little surprised the first time I heard the disc...I was under the impressiion that FROM THE GROUND UP would first be released as a limited edition live album, with the studio version to follow a few months later. The fact that the wider, later version was still live really isn't a problem; it's one of the cleanest live recordings ever, and showcases the group effectively. Opening up with the introductory jam of "Hello", things segue nicely into "Waiting, Watching, Wishing." With it's double guitar attack (acoustic and electric blending together beautifully!), punchy percussion, soaring lead vocal and lush harmonies, the track is proof positive that these five are the real deal! Next up is the radio friendly "Don't Look Back"...anyone from Sheryl Crow to the Dixie Chicks could have covered this gem and had a hit with it, but it's Antigone Rising's, and they're holding on to it! Once again, the instrumentation is smooth and precise, the vocal top-notch. A real winner! Things get edgier with "She's Not Innocent"....the arrangement's a bit more frenetic, the vocals darker, almost a tad menecing. As Cassidy wraps her considerable pipes around the cryptic lyrics ("He shines the light into the dark/and empty corner/right where the past had left it's mark/too late to warn her"), the song builds in intensity, culminating in a powerful, yet melodic, bridge. Another high point! There's a simple honesty to "Open Hearts And Doors" that's absolutely lovely (I bet Sarah, Alicia and Mariah would've KILLED to have written this beauty!), while "Michael"'s reflection on loss, the past and the desire to change it is both universal and touching. "Happy Home" is a wonderful blending of influences and styles....take one part Indigo Girls, add a dose of Ann and Nancy Wilson, mix in a pinch of the Dixie Chicks....and you have this infectious toe-tapper! The instrumentation is economical, the vocals silky, yet strong. WIN-NER! "You're The Reason" is a slice of blues rock paradise, equal parts Joplin and Joss Stone. Cassidy's vocals weave in and out of Cathy Henderson's smart guitar runs, while Jan Zielenbach's powerhouse bass lines anchor the track in a rootsy, atmospheric manner. Things are toned down a notch or ten on the delicate "Longshot", a pained love song in the same vein as Bonnie Raitt's brilliant "I Can't Make You Love Me." Cushioned by strumming guitars, Cassidy caresses the lyrics ("It's easy now when I look back/They call that 'retrospect'/if I had known that night would have such a ripple effect/I might have been more likely just to let that sleeping dog lie") with a vocal that is both raw and vulnerable. Another beauty! The group's ability to blend styles and sounds so effortlessly is also obvious on the laid-back "Better"....any female country artist out there today, from Reba and Faith to Martina and Shania, could have had a HUGE hit with this song...but it could have also worked for Joss Stone, Mary J. Blige or Norah Jones. Heck, even Diana Krall could've pulled off a smooth, jazzy version! It's that universal appeal that makes the song so stunning. Once again, Cassidy's vocals are amazing, the harmonies are spot-on, Dena Tauriello's drumming shines and the guitars - Cathy Henderson on lead, sister Kristen on rhythm - float out of the speakers in an almost hypnotic way. WOW! Then, just when you might be thinking things are getting a bit too mellow, the group kicks things up with the funky "She Lived Here." All snarling vocals and clever arrangement (both the keyboards and percussion really shine - the ladies might consider adding another female multi-instrumentalist to the band instead of using male sidemen...both instruments really add something to the mix, and having a woman play them would only add to the band's legitimacy as a self-contained all-female unit), this track ROCKS!! "Rosita", a song about dashed dreams and fruitless fantasies, has a spirited flamenco vibe to it, while "Broken" is both sweet and sad. Parents can often question their children's choices, but those same children often have doubts about their parent's lives as well ("Mother mine's a foolish game but/the same could be said/said about yours/He took your youth and he took your name"). The track is powerful and poignant, and would have been a great album closer. Instead, we get a radio edit version of "Don't Look Back" and a so-so studio cut, "Should've Been The One." That said, I know it's not enough for Antigone Rising to be the best all-female band to come down the pike in ages....if they're to last, they'll have to move beyond said novelty and just prove themselves as a BAND. However, if FROM THE GROUND UP is any indication, the women of Fanny must be letting out a collective sigh of relief...maybe all they went thru over three decades ago wasn't a waste after all (As with all my reviews, I'm giving the disc an extra half a star for including the lyrics).
+2448	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Concert DVDs are truly wonderful. For about the same price as a CD, you get the audio and video from a concert for a mere fraction of what a ticket to the show would have cost you. All concert DVDs are not created equal, and "Pulse" is far from the best or the worst one that I've seen. It is, however, the worst one that I've seen from a band of Pink Floyd's stature. There has been a lot of talk about the fact that the concert was videotaped, and this is certainly a problem. Even on my 36-inch television, the poor quality is evident. The video quality is better than a VHS tape, but not as good as the videotape material from, say, the Led Zepplin DVD, which was taped over 15 years earlier. The sound on "Pulse" is better than the video, but it is not "state of the art," at least not at the 480 bps bit rate. There is a higher quality sound option on the menu; the 640 bps bit rate is new to me. I've never seen it before and it didn't work on my 4 year-old Pioneer 47A DVD player.(There is a disclaimer where no guarantee is made that the feature will work on "earlier" machines.) There is no DTS sound, which, in my experience, usually works well with music and sounds better than Dolby Digital. I'd be curious to hear from anyone who was able to listen to the concert at the higher resolution.

+6667	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Consider a song lyric called THE BOXER. Written by Paul Simon. Most of THE BOXER is a first-person narrative. It's a confession of despair & self-pity spoken by a washed-up loser in the entertainment business: "I have squandered by resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises." But the final part of THE BOXER shifts into a third-person narrative: "In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade. And his carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down and cut him till he cried out, in his anger and his shame: 'I am leaving, I am leaving.' But the fighter still remains." The narrational shift in THE BOXER could possibly be interpreted as a psychological defense-mechanism on the part of the narrator. The boxer's defeat is too painful for the boxer to narrate in the first-person. So he objectifies himself with a third-person perspective in order to gain the necessary distance from himself.

+And Gerry Rafferty could not have cared less.  He followed the album and Baker Street's success with no tour and never hired himself a manager.  Rafferty followed up CITY TO CITY with NIGHT OWL one year later.  Using the same polish and lyrical poetry which made its predecessor a masterpiece, Jerry made the sophomore effort a wee bit more Gaelic at a time when "new age" and "Celtic" genre's were not even peeking out from under the covers.  NIGHT OWL is another masterpiece, it just went unnoticed by critics and was mainly purchased by only his most ardent fans.  Perhaps it was too soon for mandolins and fiddles and accordions in the pop end of folk music?  As beautifully crafted as NIGHT OWL is, most fans find it somewhat darker and grittier, and thus "lower" than CITY TO CITY as an art form.  Get It Right Next Time was the radio friendly reminder of Right Down The Line but for all the other creative tomes on the album, something fell short.  Perhaps Rolling Stone got it right when they said "...as if the artist were so wary of being deluded he couldn't trust even the free play of his own melodic imagination. Because Rafferty doesn't dare to hope, he doesn't dare at all, and in playing it suspiciously, Night Owl ultimately pays it safe."

Plus, like a lot of pop artists he got himself knighted. I remember seeing him on a talk show, wearing a bright tartan plaid suit that was oddly the most subdued thing I'd seem him in for years. The show's host said that he cried the first time he heard the latest release (hell if I can remember which one it was), and Elton grinned; "Why, did you pay too much for it?" In its own way, that comment was reminiscent of Liberace's classic quip; "Hope you like my new jacket--you paid for it". And the Godfather Of Glam succeeded in devaluing himself as a talent so well that many of my friends wrote revisionist histories of Elton by pointedly avoiding mention of the Classic Six Albums so they could trash him. Take the song "Tiny Dancer", a little too pretty but still well-crafted. But then he follows it up with "Levon", a blunt bitter song of a nouveau riche man who defines himself with clichs. Then "Razor Face", kind of a sequel piece to "Sixty Years On" from his self-titled album. Then he blasts the whole thing wide open with the title track, the musings of a psychiatric patient about the motives of his loved ones in visiting him regularly. I use that last song a lot as an argument to my aforementioned friends when they start to define Elton John by his disco mixes like "Philadelphia Freedom" or his ripoff of his own "Candle In the Wind" about Marilyn Monroe by turning it into a makeshift eulogy to Princess Diana. I just sit at my piano, hit an a-minor chord and start out;

+"Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" is the big hit, and it's a very interesting track the way it jumps around from different feelings and vocal melodies.  It's unlike anything he's ever done before, and no doubt Paul was interested in the progressive rock scene going on at the time.

I prefer "The Complete Animals", only because I prefered the version of the band that recorded with Alan Price on keyboards, but this is a great CD.

+This collection starts off on a high note with the amazing jazz/classical fusion of "Human Behavior", where only a superb vocalist of the calibre of Bjork could hit those microtonal notes that give the piece its unusual melodic and harmonic character.  But, clearly Bjork would be unhappy doing the same thing over and over, so each piece in this collection is in a different, yet equally innovative style.

+The sound quality is in keeping with what you would expect of the era and the packaging and presentation is good(although some more expansive liner notes would have been nice).
+Album two is a splendid tour de force which probably caused more young men to take up the air guitar than any other album before or since. The sheer energy and feeling that is contained therein is astounding. In a way it is very reminiscent of the Grateful Dead in that the band consisted of three lead players each of whom vied for overall leadership of the band which itself contributes to the tightness of the overall sound and which leads to the excellent performances contained here. It is astounding to hear again and again the power of these performances. Incredible.
+At just over 37 minutes in length (including two sub-two minute instrumentals which serve as intro and closing pieces), this CD seems to parallele Sandman's life; amazingly achieved and far too short.  With tunes ranging from the semi-ambient ("In Spite Of Me", "I'm Free Now", "Let's Take  Trip Together") to the raging aggressive ("Buena", "Thursday", "Mary Won't You Call My name") to all shades of night in-between ("All Wrong", "Candy", "Sheila"), there really isn't a weak link to be found.  While the CD itself runs short, the songs are at the perfect length; most clock in at 3-3.5 minutes so that you are able to sufficiently groove with them before they become tiresome and repititious.  This is songwriting craftsmanship and musical innovation at its highest form, definitely a must-have for any musical collection and the best direction I can recommend for anyone who wants to add a little "something different, something cool" to their listening enjoyment.

They have both grown and mellowed throughout the years, and the best thing is that they are still around to talk about it. I sense a certain humility in this DVD, too, from all the players all around - from Larry Carlton to Jim Keltner (drums) to Wayne Shorter. These guys are pros, and they act and talk professionally. These guys walk the walk, talk the talk, and can play. Miles would be proud of these guys, but so would any blues artist from the '50s or '60s. They have mellowed, learned, and are ready to lay some fine harmonies down, while keeping the backbeat and the groove.

+With that said, and without reservation, my ultimate concert-going experience was and will always be, seeing Bob Marley & The Wailers live at The Beacon Theatre in NYC, just weeks after he performed This Rainbow Theatre Concert in London. I'll not waste anyone's time with my feebile words in trying to describe Marley's phenomenal performance. Keep in mind, this was at a time when The Wailer's were transitioning away from the vocal harmonies of Tosh and Bunny. Bob had to really come forward as never before. He needed to firmly position himself as the new face of The Wailers. Would he rise to the occassion? We all know the answer. Bob Marley was not only the poet laureate of reggae, he was a showman of extraordinary depth. This timeless concert footage stands as testiment to the charisma, the brillance, the unmitigated genius of Robert Nesta Marley. Surely we will never see the likes of him again! Jah-Rastafari!!!
+The other good point about the film is that it includes the interviews of the people involved in this phonomenon -- Mary Wilson (The Supremes), Ronnie Spector (The Ronettes), Darlene Love (The Blossoms and is virtually the singer of The Crystals), and so on.  You also hear some stories from the song writers like Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.  The fans might have already known what they say, but it is still good to hear their authentic comments, which includes Ronnie Spector recounting how she met Phil Spector, and how he treated her after their marriage.
+So what: well, do you like hip hop, trip hop, DJ Shadow? If Two Virgins were made today, it would be a sleek collage cut on a computer. Lennon and Ono were so smart, they had the idea of cut and paste, sampling, just not the technology. These techniques were used in classical music in the 1950s, but Two Virgins was one of the first that brought them into a rock sphere. Any DJ or rapper owes a technical debt to Lennon and Ono. This is a 1990s concept made with 1968 tape recorders.  Different machinery, same template.

+"Cocoon" is one of my favourite Bjork videos. Naked and painted white, Bjork stands in a grey room singing intimately about her lover while a red string material emerges from her nipples. It sounds ridiculous, but it's not. Bjork moves her hands in movement with the red string which continues to flow, eventually wrapping her up. The video to "It's In Our Hands" sees Bjork wandering about in a patch of tall plants in the middle of the night. Night vision is used to give the impression that we are being let in on something very special and intimate. The final video in this collection is the superb "Nature Is Ancient," in which Bjork is actually not present at all. Directed by the male-trio Lynn Fox, the video focuses on the conception of a human being, showing how Adam was born. A fascinating look at the miracle of human life!

+This album is plain bad, awful. The tittle track is a gem that makes you wonder how the same guys who wrote such great tune wrote the obnoxiously bad rest of the songs in this album.
+That being said, the material is strong, although a bit different from the prior 3 LPs and thus requiring some getting used to.  "Whiskey Train" is an absolutely storming opener, and has long been one of my favourite Procol tracks; Trower positively smokes on guitar (I believe it was around this time that he switched from a Les Paul to a Stratocaster, inspired by Martin Barre of Jethro Tull, with whom Procol had recently toured), and the late and much-missed B.J. Wilson drives the proceedings with the most engaging bit of cowbell-tapping I've ever heard on record.  "The Dead Man's Dream" comes across like a scene from "Night of the Living Dead"--rather disturbing--and "Still There'll Be More" is a rather detailed revenge song, although it has a great beat and you can dance to it (and will put a smile on your face if the lyrics relate at all to any recent situations in your life!).  "Whaling Stories" could almost be a leftover from A Salty Dog.  Most of the rest may need repeated listening to stick with you, but it's worth the effort if you like Procol - I do, obviously.

+I had to order this from Amazon as there are literally no copies of this album in England, you just can't get hold of stuff like this, and I was surprised by how great it was.  E-40 has long been known as an innovator (something hiphop is sorely lacking), both in terms of his unique flow, and his vast slang vocabulary which so many others have bitten over the years.  This album according to most people is when he was at his peak in both, though I can't comment as this is the only album of his I own (I do intend to buy more though).  My favourite track is still Dusted & Disgusted ft Spice 1, 2Pac & Mac Mall, which is a westcoast classic, but other classics include 1 Luv and the amazing Smoke N Drank.  Pretty much every other track is tight, the only reason i don't quite give it 5 stars is because of a couple of filler tracks (Dey Aint No & Bootsee, which is terrible).  Production is top notch throughout, some classic westcoast beats that really bump.

These guys rock like there's no tomorrow. Angus puts on a show that defies any semblance of normal behavior, posturing like a schoolboy on steroids while playing with a manic perfection that almost contradicts his attitude. Every single guitar riff played by Angus and his brother Malcolm is stone cold perfection. Malcolm may be the less recognizable of the two brothers, but his rhythm guitar skills rival anybody's, and the way he plays in tandem with Angus is simply unmatched. Since we're talking about unmatched skills, how on Earth does Brian Johnson manage to scream so much, not for a song or two, or even a night or two, but for his entire career?

The band had 4 albums, 5 if you count the soundtrack for a film titled "Grasshopper" that the band appeared on. The first album was released in '68.  It was actually self titled although it has some times  been referred to as the "Worst that could happen" album.  The second album, know as "The second album" was released in '69. The third album from '70 is where things get tricky. The third album,like the first album was also self titled. When discussing the bands self titled album(s), you have to verify what songs are on it. The third album included a cover of "Nights in white satin." The bands final album was released in I belive '72. This one was titled "Bridge in Blue." If my memory also serves, I belive at that point the band had for some reason shotrened its name to simply "Bridge."  This compilation only really represents the 1st two albums.  Yes there are a lot of good songs on it. But there could have been more. Songs like "Echo park" and "Nights in white satin" should have been included. It would been nice if someone would release the actual 4 albums on CD. That way no songs are left out.  Like my title reads:  Great band - Fair compilation.

+An earlier reviewer gave a good description of the circumstances surrounding the making of this film. Hendrix' manager, Mike (Little Satan) Jeffery invested in a film that was being directed by an acid burnout, occultist, and former Andy Warhol associate named Chuck Wein, and the result was a cinematic disaster. Jeffery forced Hendrix to appear in the film in an attempt to recoup some of his losses. He also had to use the soundtrack album to release new music. At the time, Hendrix and Jeffery borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars from Warner Bros. to build Electric Lady Studios. The agreement was that WB would recoup the loan out of album sales. However, the contract said nothing about soundtrack releases; which meant that WB would only get their relatively small percentage of the album's sales. Slick move on Jeffery's part. WB was furious, BTW, but that's all history.

+604	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Bruce Springsteen's seventh LP, 1984's "Born in the USA" is one that marks a change in the rock legend. On this album, he makes the change from a working class underdog to a bona fide American rock star. Bruce has represented many different things throughout his long and winding career, and "Born in the USA" is among the most interesting for sure. Here, he tends to move away from the tales of the depressed New Jersey working class and instead appears to comment more on America as a whole. He deals with the war, growing up, and relationships in a more broad and accessible manner. However, the songwriting on "Born in the USA" is arguably the finest of his incredible career. "Born in the USA" is chock full of pure rock anthems, the kind with the slamming drums and squealing guitar that made them so memorable. The band is at their finest here, with the sax of Clarence Clemmons and contributions of Max Weinberg and Gary Tallent. "Born in the USA" also has its share of slower, subtle tracks that are equally as effective. From a lyrical standpoint, from a musical standpoint, "Born in the USA" is the perfect rock album and arguably the finest of Bruce Springsteen's discography.

+5595	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Like many of us, the art & musical poetry of Gerry Rafferty has left no doubt, lasting impressions on our lives.  But being a sound, audio & radio broadcast engineer...I notice some of the many re-mastering engineers that have prepared his product for subsequent releases on CD...may have had too many beer bottles lined up near their mastering equipment!  Going way back, when this album "CITY TO CITY" was first released, the running speed on the "BAKER STREET" single (45RPM, in those days) was sped up incredibly!  Why?  Who knows.  But ironically, the video for the song (yes, there actually was one filmed for the piece) was sped DOWN incredibly!  So odd.  Then years later, in late 80's, when the "RIGHT DOWN THE LINE: THE BEST OF GERRY RAFFERTY" was released on CD, a fresh new re-mix version of "BAKER STREET" appeared...and the speed was correctly calibrated.  Then to our amazement, when the "CITY TO CITY" album was finally released a year or two later on CD...the pitch was again sped up on "BAKER STREET"!  But this time, the "original mix" was featured.  And then finally, someone got it right...when very recently the RAVEN label released "THE BEST OF 1970-1982: DAYS GONE DOWN"; the "original" speed was corrected to the "original" mix of "BAKER STREET".  Being a sound engineer myself...I don't see how these things just sort of seem to "slip-through-the-cracks" so often?  I've known for years that radio station programmers speed up singles to either make more room for commercials in a single hour, or just to plainly make the song sound "hotter, brighter & faster"...but the record company or re-mastering engineer purposely doing such a dastardly thing...?  Na...just too many shot-glasses being passed around after punching-in on the time clock...I feel is the reason!  Let's pay better attention to the details, when treating such musical classics...such as Gerry Rafferty's "BAKER STREET."

Yes, his detractors say he was "arrogant," "bitter," "spiteful," and so on, and this criticism isn't without merit, but Warners really made life miserable for him at the time. If anything, he suffered from his own Type A personality. He delivered an eight-sided box set to the record company to fulfill his contract, and they wouldn't release it, and they wouldn't let him release it elsewhere. Mercury Records printed 300 copies of it before Warners halted the process, saying they had the material in their own vault. They wouldn't pay him, they wouldn't release him from his contract, and they wouldn't release the record, citing it as "objectionable."  The law suit over this, and all his master tapes, from "Freak Out," with the Mothers Of Invention up through "Zoot Allures," went on for years, costing HUGE amounts of money and dissolving business relationships as well.

In opera I have to say I've heard many opera singers before Bocelli (I was only 15 when I bought his "Romanza" CD in 1998), such as Callas, Tucker, the Three Tenors, et al, and every single one of them put on a show. It's just that I have the most feeling for Andrea, because he touched me practically more than those previously mentioned opera singers may have (no offense to them, though). During the first part of this lavishly set 1997 concert, he gives a kick-a** rendition of "Nessun Dorma" for starters and moves into very well the best version of "La Donna  Mobile" I've heard; it makes the "new" version on "Verdi" sound flat (sorry about that).

+One of the most diverse Derek Sherinian albums, Blood of the Snake contains a wide range of material. Songs like "Been Here Before" and "On the Moon" are among the slower, more emotional pieces. Both of them feature Brad Gillis on guitar, duelling with Zakk Wylde on the former and exchanging melodies with Sherinian on the latter, which is all round a cool jazz piece complete with saxophone, synth effects, and elaborate piano. On the heavier front, Yngwie Malmsteen and Zakk Wylde appear on the ambitious title track, starting with a fuzzy synth patch and building to Wylde's trademark riffs and Malmsteen's super fast lead solo, arguably the best on this disc. Not only is the lead work frenetic, it also boasts a lot of melody before Sherinian chimes in to create a desolate, almost doomy ending. The duo also tear it up on "The Monsoon", where Wylde's mercilessly heavy riffs contrast Malmsteen's fluid neoclassical playing. This song also has excellent drumming and begins and closes with a beautiful oriental melody. As if that's not enough, the Swedish guitar virtuoso also appears on the appropriately titled "Viking Massacre", which, except for the amazing symphonic backdrop and 70's-styled analog keys, would feel at home on any Malmsteen album.

Amazing individual talent (Maynard is today's best frontman, and that's just the beginning) combined with incredible and complex songwriting and intelligence make Tool a band with few weaknesses. While this may be termed prog rock, with extended arrangements of their songs being the norm, this allows the mood of the songs to fully deveolop, and boy do they develop. Complex time signature and dynamics changes, unbeleivable instrumental chops, and soaring vocals are some descriptions that come to mind. Tool's sound makes me salivate - you just need to listen to appreciate it. Maynards lyrics match the musical content to a tee. In "Sinkfist", he uses a pretty dark metaphor to illustrate how desensitized we are today. "Eulogy" challenges the character of everyone who has a message to preach but are really just as weak and feeble as every one around them. I also find the story in "Hooker With a Penis" to be quite amusing. Even despite it's grandesque 13:00+ minutes, "Third Eye" never looses my interest - in fact, it's one of the best album closers I've ever heard. I really can't explain it, but Tool managed to hit everything right on this album, which is why it's one of the top 5 cd's I own.
+6026	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I am one of those who likes both the pre-and-post "Home" work of Procol Harum. Whisky Train is OK but somewhat repetitive. The real gems on this album are songs of death and decay. Dead Man's Dream is the  masterpiece. There is nothing quite so terrifying to a listener with a good  buzz on than to hear the words "The corpses were rotten, yet each one  was living. Their eyes were alive, with maggots crawling" overlaid on  the background of the band's eerie, sepulchral organ. God, what a song!  Still There'll Be More, a song of revenge, is not as well written but I  remember the lyrics had many parents thinking that their offspring were  listening to unspeakable degeneracy. Actually, it's pretty tame by today's  standards. Nothing That I Didn't Already Know is a tragic and melancholy  tune of early death. About to Die is a pseudo-religious anthem featuring  some fine guitar work by Robin Trower and some fabulous piano-pounding by  Gary Brooker.  I like Barnyard Story, a short enigmatic song that adds to  the album's air of tragedy and impending doom. Piggy Pig Pig heightens this  feeling with the forceful piano of Gary Brooker and a background chorus  evocative of that in the Beatles "I Am The Walrus". This is  followed by the even more apocalyptic "Whaling Stories" and  finishes in an atmosphere of peace and relaxation. The finale, Your Own  Choice, is kind of a throwaway which adds nothing to an otherwise great  album.

Great CD throughout. "Snowfall" and "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise" standout as especially inspired. Emily's playing was dictated by the music-never flashy or egotistical.

He was quite young here and the talent and passion this man had is beyond reproach. What makes this DVD different than Live at Montreaux or Austin City Limits, for instance, is the intimate setting of the small club. Very crisp image, awesome close-ups and great sound, it does not disappoint the Stevie Ray fan. He also does Third Stone from the Sun on this and although it is far from my favorite song, it was the first time I had seen him bang, jump on, etc his beloved guitar... so that was quite a show! If you, like me, absolutely adore SRV and drink in his amazing music,  then certainly purchase this, you will thoroughly enjoy it.
+The first instrumental is "O Come All Ye Faithful/O Holy Night." The guitar solos in this piece are phenomenal. It's a great combination of the two songs put together into one giant instrumental. The orchestra did an excellent job combining the two. The next instrumental is "First Snow." I like this tune a lot and because I love to experience my first snowfall of the year. The riffs are real catchy and its a solid rock and roller. Another great instrumental piece is "Mad Russian's Christmas." It is a mix of rock and roll and the instrumental from "The Nutcracker." Perhaps the greatest and most powerful instrumental piece and the greatest song of the whole album is "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24." This tune is as powerful as any instrumental can be. This song has everything: guitars, piano, horns, drums, etc. The mix of every instrument on this song created a dark and gothic tune that is one of the greatest Christmas songs to date. Listen to the sample to see what I'm talking about.

Etta James has one'a the mos' passionate an' wrenching voices in all blues n' soul music an' when she takes on THESE numbers, you hear that an' them some.  As a big fan'a Billie Holiday not many singer could give much credibility to performin' the songs that she made famous.  But this jus' works.  Ms. James, rather than adopting the ballads with her own style, jus' adopted a DIFFERENT style than she normally does so that she can sing 'The Man I Love', 'Embraceable You', an' 'The Very Thought of You' with all the relaxed subtlety that Lady Day did.  With a nice jazz backing section, she lays the loveliness on thick.

Always enchanting,always mysterious,and always a lively animated performer,Stevie gives one hell of a show here! She sounds GREAT,and looks stunning. Her band also gives a great show. It must be frustrating to people who knock Stevie Nicks: she just won't go away! For over 30 years, this lady has sold millions of records and sold out concerts, with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist. Yet some people still try to knock her. Let's put it this way: of her female(and male for that matter) contemporaries such as Pat Benatar, Heart, Blondie, and The Pretenders, who charted at #5 and sold 2 million copies of their latest CD in 2001 and had the #7 tour of 2001? Stevie Nicks. Who had the #1 world tour of 2003? Fleetwood Mac. While her former popular contemporaries play rodeos, cruise ships and state fairs, Stevie Nicks sells out arenas. WHy? This concert video is a great explanation, especially during the end credits of Stevie shaking hands and interacting with her adoring fans. Both seem equally touched. Stevie isn't fake. She hasn't had her 10th facelift, upteenth boetox injections or done the "Cher" thing. She has survived 30 years of rock stardom, kicked drugs, lost over 60 pounds, and kicked smoking. She doesn't try to be "hip", nor does she change her image the way Madonna does. Stevie is Stevie. That is why we love her and that is why she will always remain a rock and roll legend.

But hip-hop radio back then wasn't as horribly biased as it is now, and I got turned on to artists like Redman, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, De La Soul, Pharcyde, Digable Planets, and A Tribe Called Quest when I was about 7 or 8 years old. When I got the Midnight Marauders tape when I was 9, I was blown away. Never before had I heard an album like this. The beats were jazzy and melodic, and Tip and Phife came correct on the mic. This was the first hip-hop album I fell in love with so to speak.

+The CD gets off to a rousing start with the abbreviated version of The Raiders March, THE signature tune that moviegoers and music lovers will always associate with "the man in the hat."  It's an abbreviated version that does not, unlike the concert versions heard in other Williams recordings, segue into Marion's Theme.  Instead, the album presents the previously unreleased or reworked tracks Main Title (South America 1936) and In The  Idol's Temple. Both are mysterious, atmospheric cues, almost abstract.  Music from the previous available soundtrack returns with the exciting Escape From Peru. The rest of the tracks (which are presented in chronological order) alternate between unreleased tracks and the few previously released ones, including the romantic Marion's Theme and the exciting and suspenseful Desert Chase.

Going into a more progressive stye of rock, some songs clocking in at over fifteen minutes. It's one of those albums you can listen straight throught.

Then we hit the piano "noodling" and the song starts to drift away from me. The CD is filled with moments like this; great lyrics and a solid melody often lost amidst overproduced musical adornments. Stripped down, this is some of Costello's best stuff; songs that walk the fine line between emotion and intellect. But every time I feel like I get close to the heart of the song, I feel lost in the middle of music that serves no purpose. This is definitely worth a listen and I still enjoy popping it in the machine, but I feel some of his other works is more deserving of the high praise given IMPERIAL BEDROOM.

"Secret" and  "Beautiful Stranger" are not. "Take a Bow" and  "Frozen" are personal favorites. "Fever" and  "Human Nature" are not. Regardless of which videos are present in  this collection, no one can deny her raw artistry. At her worst, Madonna is  still leagues ahead of her musical peers, and she continues to make  innovative music and remarkable videos. She has made her most personal  record since LIKE A PRAYER with RAY OF LIGHT, and it is evident in videos  for "Drowned World/Substitute for Love" and "The Power of  Good-bye" that she has made remarkable progress as a musician, a  songwriter, an actress, and a human being.

+The concept takes  Orwell's dreary future world one step closer to degeneration.  The title  song sets the pace, describing a world that sounds more like "Escape from  New York" than "1984."  Love (or sex), music and death are interchangeable.  "This ain't rock and roll," shouts Bowie, "this is genocide!"  This theme  is repeated in the other thematic songs - lovers take drugs and commit  suicide in "Candidate."  Hope is a cheap thing in "Sweet Thing."  "We are  the dead" captures the moment when the love affair from the novel "1984" is  interrupted by "them."  These songs set up a bleak existence, but the song  "1984" warns of a brainwashing process through which the hideous is the  glorious (or, in the novel's terms, "less is more.")  The song is second to  last because the final song, "Big Brother" features Bowie singing the  praises of the fictional dictator as an Apollo-like savior.  He has been  converted.  The song fades into a robotic chant, which is listed as a  separate song.

I  just cannot understand the reader who said that the audio quality was  totally inadequate because it could not get his woofer moving- this guy  must have been watching too many Batman dvd's!
+While the album is worth buying for its hit singles, there really isn't a single weak song on here. "Rebel Yell" stands as Idol's best written and most consistent album. It also stands as one of the best albums from the 1980s.
+7474	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	R. Kelly's "12 Play" is really a testament of the talent that was coming our way through the '90s from this talented r&b artist.  All the songs are great, which is a rarity, even back in 1993!  I really started listening to R. Kelly when he went solo in 1995 with his self titled CD.  I decided to pick up his "Born into the '90s" album, and this one recently.  Although his first album is good, "12 Play" really shines with R. Kelly's unforgettable jams!  If you are looking for some great booty knockin', body rockin' early '90s r&b, then this one is a great choice!
+Compared with the original CD release, the sound on this remastered version is better in almost every respect, with the possible exception of the first song "First We Take Manhattan," in which a slight, digital-sounding sibilance has been added to Warnes voice. The other cuts are just great, with the digital remastering adding a more authoritative bass note and greater ambience and spaciousness to the soundstage. .

+For a band to disband and come back 20 years later with THIS, is an insult to the fans (in my opinion.)  I was at Clinton Recording Studios (working) during the period in which they were laying down the horn overdubs on this record.  I used to peek into the control booth when I had a break.  The music was good.  The chord changes were tight.  But what happened between then and the final production?  First off I must say, that Steely Dan's lyrics on this album are pretencious.  The overall production is more of a spyro gyra sound than the classic Steely Dan groove.  If the record tomorrow sounds anything like this one, I am going to be terribly disappointed.

+5. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey - Paul's first #1 US Single as a solo artist is one of his best creations in the studio. Macca is up to all of his tricks here, complete with his wacky vocal impersonations and some nice sound effects. Great changes in tempo, a worthy #1 single.

+I get a real kick out of the second disc. This one is a departure from the musical flow of the first disc. It has a 37 minute track that is to be a sound track for a supposed movie called Unlce Meat. You listen to Zappa, Gail, and company rant on with lines form the movie and direction from Frank himself. It takes you away. You can really see what is happening the whole time. Frank has a way off performing audio-movies in a vivid and graphic manner.

+4. Pagan Poetry (Video Edit) - Bjork's most visually disturbing video, banned from television.  Much of the video displays strange black and white line compositions that make up a sort of heat map display of what is happening.  This begins with a sex scene hidden in this drawing format.  This then changes to a drawing form of Bjork singing, which transforms to live images.  In this scene, you can observe many piercing all over her body, that are part of a dress she wears that starts below the breasts.  The last scene is a graphic one of piercing the skin.  Definitely a powerful video, but not for the easily shaken.

+8468	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This early EP might not be as mindblowing as their last few releases, but it packs a powerful punch. It's much more straight forward alt-metal, and not as experimental as say the epic "Lateralus". "Sweat" is a sweet track, but it's "Hush" that makes you realize how good this is. "Part Of Me" and the 2 live tracks rock as well. "Opiate" is a bit more involved, and is a sign of things to come on the "Undertow" album. There's also a hidden track on the cd, but I have this on vinyl, and it's not on that. Though not as essential as their other albums, it's a must for the "Tool" fanatic.

+593	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A. is an essential American rock record. Every song is top-notch, including the big hits "Dancing in the Dark," "Glory Days," and the title track. Beyond the best-known singles, "I'm on Fire" simmers with a subdued but powerful vocal, while "My Hometown" includes subtly striking lyrics. Up-tempo tracks like "Cover Me," "I'm Goin' Down," and "No Surrender" are irresistibly catchy. Pay close attention to the powerful lyrics throughout the LP; this is far from the patriotic record many consider it to be. The tales of hard times and heartbreak throughout ring unfortunately true today. Don't miss this extraordinary album. 5 Stars.
+8253	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	A bit of a drop off in song selection in ACE's volume 4 of this terrific  pre-British Invasion (1954-1963) series of American pop/rock music.  Each  of the first three volumes included several songs that failed to reach the  Top 40, but this time it's almost a third of the total--nine to be exact.  And in a couple instances (Nappy Brown and the Royalteens), the artist's  only Top 40 hit was overlooked in favor of the song included on this  anthology.  [Although in the case of Brown, his No. 25 hit "Don't Be  Angry" does show up on volume 8.]  So you're going to get a number of  unfamiliar songs like Don French's "Lonely Saturday Night," the  Lafayettes "Life's Too Short," and the Roommates' "The Glory  of Love."

+Sweet had made a couple of unremarkable records before this one.  I think two things made it leap out of the CD player and into our collective conscious.  One was the sublime twin guitar work of Richard Lloyd (Television) and Robert Quine (NYC downtown guitar hero and notably on some of Lou Reed's most powerful work.)  These two guys blaze and smolder throughout these melodic, harmonic songs, providing more bite and panache than most records you will hear in any genre.  The performances of Quine and Lloyd in service to Sweet's catchy numbers creates the illusion of two tigers tamed; you can feel the excitement of their ferociousness on every track, even the soft, cotton-candy-sweet "Your Sweet Voice."
+2901	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I'm not a big Styx fan but they had a lot of radio air time in my high school days so I decided to add them to my video collection. This DVD certainly has some familiar songs, and as a(now) talk radio guy, I hadn't heard many of these in decades. The important thing here is that this DVD not only contains a great set list of their most popular songs but it has good sound & excellent video quality, considering it is about 20 years old. AND, as far as I can tell, their execution is flawless. I'd describe it as "satisfying" as they sound exactly the way I remembered these songs on the radio! Plus, for me, there were a couple of pleasant surprises as this performance contains some (forgotten) EPIC classic rock anthems! Okay, here's my only nitpick: The only thing that slightly annoys me, albeit minor, is their "look" - it's very dated. As a concert video collector I am fine w/ a 70's performance looking like it was in the 1970's, as it should... Looks like this DVD was released in 1999 so I'm guessing it was filmed in the late 90's? - the end(the very end...) of the big hair era... While as a "non fan" I couldn't tell you what they looked like back in their hey day, but here, it looks like some(not all) band members were desperately trying to hang on to "the look".  So, IMO, while they actually sound PERFECT, I think they look almost comical, in a Spinal Tap sort of way... I know this is nitpicky but that's the only negative I can find here. Sorry Styx fans, just my 2 cents. With that in mind plus having a home theater, I think I might have preferred the newer BD, which was my first inclination; However, I read that one of the original singers was no longer w/ the band, so the 'Return To Paradise' DVD was recommended. As a non fan, I wonder if I wouldn't noticed the difference? I have read where some had audio issues w/ this DVD. I don't recall any problems but the newer(newest?) BD performance would obviously have better sound & HD video... Anyways, I'm happy with this DVD and @ $10, this DVD is a welcome edition to my library.

+Guitarist Steve Howe is in great form, as good as he has ever been.  He and bassist Chris Squire play a variety of beautiful and unusual  instruments, which fellow musicians will enjoy seeing (Squire even has a  3-necked bass on Awaken; the top neck is basically the bottom 3 strings of  a standard electric guitar. Perhaps this instrument was built just for this  song!). Squire and vocalist Jon Anderson seem to really enjoy the  performance, and their positive attitude adds to the viewer's enjoyment. In  addition to his vocal duties, Anderson plays a variety of interesting  incidental instruments, including a miniature harp he hangs on his chest  with a shoulder strap. Unfortunately, the younger generation of Yes-men,  guitarist-vocalist Billy Sherwood and keyboardist Ivan Khoroshev, don't get  enough air time. Both are incredible musicians, and it would have been nice  to see more of them (sadly, Sherwood has since left the group). Yes is not  a big drum band, but longtime drummer Alan White gets his share of shots,  and he also seems to be having a good time.

Scott Weiland is the reason STP is a legendary band and the reason this band is any good. Before I go into the review of the actual album there are some things that has to be takent off my chest.

+The big deal of this reissue, though, isn't the album, but the copious amount of bonus tracks included. While most of them sound more than a little wonky (probably as a result of overprocessing, although if some come from acetate sources it's somewhat understandable), they're also pretty fantastic from a content-standpoint; while Pete Townshend's songwriting process has been meticulously documented from both official and unofficial angles, John's creative path was always far more shrouded. While most of the demos included on the disc are clearly inferior to the finished tracks, they serve to demonstrate how John went about building up his tracks. "What Kind of People Are They" is essentially just bass and horns, while "Pick Me Up" and "No. 29" both feature an interesting drum (machine?) accompaniment. I'd gladly buy a boxed-set of stuff like this. Please?

While not every single song they did at the shows is  contained here (the CD has several extra tracks), it does contain the three  most important: Movements I, II, and III of the classic Concerto for Group  and Orchestra, first performed thirty years ago when Ritchie Blackmore was  in the band.  Here, Steve Morse does a wonderful job of replacing  Blackmore, adding his own more modern style to the proceedings.  Everyone  plays quite well, and it's fun to see Ronnie James Dio and the other two  guys from the Steve Morse band join in.

+Set Me Free-10/10: Starts off with a crazy riff from Slash that's followed up by Duff's bass line and Sorum's drumming that sets the stage for Weiland's vocals, that sound almost like B.B. King surprisingly! The song picks up to become one of the hardest and fastest, so don't fret! Good chorus, and Weiland finds his normal voice for it. Inspired lyrics!

I WITNESS, PSYCHOPHOBIA, IMMACULATE DECEPTION, VIRTUAL DEATH, EVIL EYE are all GREAT songs, there's barely a bad song on this CD.

He had an odd, although interesting voice, a voice which, at least to my ears, always seemed to work better when blended in with other voices, as in his work with the Travelling Wilburys. The sound of this recording will please Roy Orbison fans, who should all probably run right out and buy it, but for the rest of us, there is just too much of Roy's unblended voice and too little of any real musical interest. (But it's still easily an order of magnitude better than any Elvis collection I have ever heard!)

+4749	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Here you get a very spellbinding funk riff in most of the songs, which shows that bassist and primary guitarist Walter Becker hasn't been idle for the past two decades (if you're like me and already own his "11 Tracks  Of Whack" album, it will come as no surprise). I'm not going to  duplicate the efforts of other reviewers by rehashing the most noticeable  songs like "Cousin Dupree", but you will notice that the longest  number ("West Of Hollywood" at a bit over 8 minutes), is a bit of  an anomaly. In the past, the longest cut on a Steely album was one of the  slower songs--this one might very well be the bounciest. People who don't  like long songs because they seem to drag might find a pleasant surprise in  that cut. Plus, as you might expect in an album built for CD, it's about an  hour long. Which is to me prima facie evidence that anyone who calls them  "dinosaurs" is blowin' smoke--Jurassic albums are only 40  minutes. So freakin' there!

+The only redeeming feature, which blew me away, unfortunately only lasts about 10 seconds in the DVD extras.  Marc is joined  in the TV studio in 1976 by David Bowie.  Both are armed with electric guitars which actually seem to be plugged in.  I've never seen Bowie play an electric guitar before and he is surprisingly (to me) a pretty useful player.  But Marc can't seem to go with Bowie as they play and the thing peters out after about 10 seconds.  Bowie, arguably at the peak of his powers & popularity, flashes a magnanimous smile.  Marc looks slightly demoralised.  Even this brief gem is spoiled as the credits roll, partially obscuring it.

+However, there is only one small flaw in this album, the amount of filler. "Useful Idiot" consists purely of static and following track 5, one will notice that the actual songs are always one track away with some filler in between. Although "Message To Harry Manback" had a beautiful piano melody, other tracks such as "Cesaro Summability" and "Ions" could have been better off removed. "Intermission" is a unique little track featuring "Jimmy" played on an organ. But the most interesting interlude is "Die Eier Von Satan". Upon first listen, one may conclude that this is a Nazi rally when actually, the narrator is simply describing a deviled eggs recipe. This shows that the guys in Tool also have a sense of humor.
+  However `Victim Of Love' and `New Kid In Town' do keep the flow of the album going smoothly and are both ten times better (and less offensive) than the worst track on "One Of These Nights" - the hideous `Lyin' Eyes'. And that should count for something.

+1297	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Gilmour has guitar chops, stage presence, as well as a body of work that even many of the great rockers would cringe jealously at.  And here he is with  a unique show, captured for us lucky humans on DVD.  He is tasteful, never overstated in this performance.  The accompanying musicians are just the right touch.  Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, and Shine On You Crazy Diamond are, of course, awesome.  Even the Division Bell numbers are right on the money.  His voice is flawless, even well into his 50's. Where the hell did Pink Floyd come from?  How come they were so good?  I've always been convinced, even when I was a young teenager,  that they can't be explained by ordinary words.  My college roommate referred to them as God, I suppose the way people in the UK thought of Clapton back in the 1960's.  Gilmour may not be God, but his music is probably listened to by him!
+5121	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Ok, let me first get this out of the way, several reviews noted the sound to be( and have  state-of-the-art systems).... Disappointing.  No note about their system- but, I have klip's "reference" spks all around powered by Yamaha 863. And maybe these are not considered "state", but I can assure you that when I hear the song " its too late", the strings off JT guitar are so vivid that they just go up my back,, that good.  You can just feel the strings resonating. I just can't figure it out? BUT! Be aware, like most dvd's, usually they start out in HDDTS, or DTS 5.1 right off the bat- This dvd- DOES NOT. You must go into the audio setup and change it to the DTS setting- EVERY TIME you load it.

+6339	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	It is hard to imagine anyone who has not at least heard or Sir Elton John. He is the piano maestro who would bring Bernie Taupin's lyrics to life with the perfect musical arrangement. The 1970's saw Elton John become the outlandish arena rock, superstar.  Unlike other stars, such as Madonna, Elton's outlandishness did not eclipse the music.  While his big hits such as, "Good-bye Yellow Brick Road" and "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", or "Bennie and the Jets" were huge, some of the earlier work showed the promise.  "Madman Across the Water" is probably one of the most underrated albums of all time.  In 1971 this effort should have been the freashest breath of air out there.  Over the decades ballads have become anathema to stadium rock due to their often formulaic blandness.  Let it be noted that before "Good-bye Yellow Brick Road", "Madman Across the Water" yielded two of the best ballads ever written, "Tiny Dancer" and "Levon".  It was really years later when these songs became appreciated for their timeless brilliance.  Both songs evoke a heartfelt emotion and beauty that few balladeers have been able to touch.  While those two songs found a big audience on Elton John's greatest hits collection, put into context on the Madman album, they become something more.  The title track is epic and sweeps one away with its lush orchestration and length.  "Indian Sunset" is another such song and fairly well brings tears to your eyes.  All of the songs are well crafted and orchestrated making them moving and powerful thirty-six years later.  There were no sappy ballads on this album, just great, solid music.  A real testament to a true artist.  Any serious music aficionado needs to have this cd in their collection if they don't already have it on vinyl.  Here, here, to a time when the music was truly great.
+From the very beginning this DVD PERFECTLY captures Bjork's child like energy, but mature nature and attitude. The visual content is stunning as well- simple in some videos (such as "Venus As a Boy" and "Big Time Sensualitu"), complex in others (such as "Army of Me" and "I Miss You")- but no matter what, fitting to the song it is put to. Ranging from Bjork dancing and singing in front of the camera, to spastic animation, to expressing emotions through breath-taking landscapes, this video collection is unique and by far one of the best that I own. Also it contains two new videos "It's In Our Hands" and "Nature is Ancient"- both of which are gorgeous and stunning as well.

While many disliked and/or misunderstood this album when it first appeared, the last decade and a half have opened minds and ears to it's sheer daring and revolutionary impact. The music, as always is sliced down to the barest essentials, a simple 808 drum machine here, some reggae flavoring there (the hypnotic "Breath Control II") African Drums ("The Homeless") and even wah-wah guitar over funky drums ("Original Lyrics", my personal fave) and the production isn't too crowded allowing Parker's biting, incisive lyrics and terrific vocals plenty of breathing room and the attention they deserve. While things do get a bit preachy, the sheer enjoyment of these performances will leaven out the heavy-handed tone of the words. A rap LP was never more aptly titled. School is in session.

+7. Drip Drop / Dion 2:34
+
+The Live disc consists of the Willie Dixon's blues classic Spoonful, (the UK release of Fresh Cream contained a studio version) and only three other selections. Crossroads is one of the rare opportunities for Clapton to step into the spotlight and demonstrate his vocal prowess. He was very shy to do so at this stage of his career, particularly on the concert stage. But here he delivers a confident and soulful reading of the Robert Johnson classic. Traintime is perhaps the only performance ever, (or at least as far as I know) of a harmonica and drum duet. Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce wail through twenty odd minutes of frantic "giddy up traintime" maddness. Then there's Baker's drum solo to end all drum solos. In the sixities and early seventies a concert performance, by any rock band worth their salt, had to include an extended drum solo. There were some great ones that readily come to mind, Soul Sacrafice by Santana at Woodstock, Moby Dick a great John Bonham solo by Zeplin and the duel percussion attack by Jaimo and Buth Trucks on the Allman Brother's Mountian Jam. But for sheer stamina, creativity and all out balls, Toad wins hands down. Baker was the first to create a twin base technique and here he demonstrates his virtuosity in delivering an incredible two-footed base performance that defies human capabilitiy. Ginger Baker is the most inventive and dynamic drummer ever to beat a skin in the rock world. As musicians, all three members of Cream are artists of the highest caliber and for a short while delighted the world with their creative genius and improasational skill. Look to Wheels Of Fire to capture them at the zenith of their powers.
+  Though a great set, I was troubled by how Jerry (Garcia) was getting along. He had obviously gained a substancial amount of weight. Furthermore, his voice vas hoarce and raspy- as if he had laryngytis. I am sad to say that I have seen Garcia in  better circumstances in live performances in the past. Yet, he maintained his BRILLIANT guitar leads- razor sharp and binding.

+There is also some other great news about this particular Terminator soundtrack release!  The composer, Brad Fiedel, was actually involved with this reissue of his famous score.  Various websites have recorded a statement from the composer where he says, "I am very happy to be involved with this release of the Terminator score."  He goes on to say that this particular version is "in sync with my original vision of how the score should sound."  When Fiedel was creating this score for the film, he was using some pretty high end electronic equipment for 1984 standards.  Today, this "retro" sound and equipment is often sought out by fans and musicians alike.  I can tell you that it all sounds fabulous on this release and listening to the score will certainly take you back to when you first saw the film.  The score was mastered and mixed from the original tapes by Fiedel himself (according to Milan's website).  Listening to the score today, you can really appreciate how unique it was.  Unusual electronic ambient sounds, strange percussive rhythms (where at times they seem to be slightly out of sync producing really standout results) and a very memorable theme have made this a score that has been enjoyed by fans and modeled by some modern composer today.  The score was Fiedel's first for a movie but it appears that the composer's real passion was for musical theatre and he would eventually pursue writing music for that venue.  His last film score was in 1995 (Johnny Mnemonic), however his themes are still being used in continuing Terminator films.

Even if "Ram" has only one or two of his all-time best solo tracks, he's more consistent here than on almost anything he's done before or since (excepting the Fab Four, of course).

Who would have thought that Stone Temple Pilots, one of the grunge bands that seemingly destroyed hairmetal (though not as much as Nirvana) would split and Scott Weiland, STP singer would join with Guns N' Roses lead guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagen, drummer Matt Sorum and The Cult rhythem guitarist Dave Cushner? I never thought it would happen but it did, and now I'm happy. 'Slither' is probably the greatest song since 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and although it wasn't enough to save rock n' roll like SLTS it still helped it even though most of it still sucks. Velvet Revolver is like heavy metal meets grunge meets hairmetal and although the three really wouldn't combine very well it still does to make some of the best songs since the early ninties. Other great songs on this album include 'Sucker Train Blues', 'Big Machine', 'Fall to Pieces', 'Headspace', 'Superhuman', 'Set Me Free' and obviously 'Slither'. The reason why I gave this four stars though is because of 'Dirty Little Thing' since that really destroyed the latter part of the album. This really deserves 4.5 stars but Amazon won't let me do that so I guess I'll see ya.
+801	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Okay, VR is GNR with STP's voice, and an extra guitarist from several small bands. I had mixed expectations about this album. But, I wasn't disappointed, but neither very thrilled, when I heard it. I guess you can say VR is the best thing that happened to rock in these days, but that's simply because these guys' previous bands rocked several years ago, and now they returned and brought back their sound, with only a little bit freshness..see, they're good, but it's just that you've kinda heard it before, that's why it isn't groundbreaking in any sense. Velvet Revolver is Stone Temple Pilots with more solos! Scott Weiland is great, but doesn't come close to his work with STP (especially on their first three albums), but the work on STP's No. 4 and Shagri-La dee Da, kind of reminds of VR, Fall To Pieces is very GNR-like guitar and melody-wise, and Slither the other hit, is more STP in every sense. Weiland's lyrics are now more aggressive and he swears a lot, but aside of that the themes are mostly about his history as a hardcore heroinist and about the problems in a relationship, the only songs having a bit more innovation and that aren't clearly so personal, are "Do It For The Kids", which is truly a stylish rock song! one of those fresher sounding tracks on the album, and so is "Illegal i Song" but the rest is just a bit stale, the hits 'Fall to pieces' 'slither' and 'dirty little thing' are neat, but they're just a bit too obvious and "old". The range of Weiland's voice isn't nearly as big as it used to be (I guess now he could sing "I'm half the man I used to be..., get it?" Slash obviously still knows how to play solos (other parts of the songs and which also Dave Kushner play are kind of boring!), but he isn't better or worse than with GNR, he's exactly the same. Obviously these guys aren't in the need of money, and they love to play, so that's what counts. But this deserves 4 stars from me, because of being lightyears ahead of these newer crappy bands (Good Charlotte, 3 Doors Down...), and for having the real attitude, style and passion, and for atleast bringing a little bit of freshness into these days' stale rock scene!

"Now, Peter," was all that Delores Parker at first could come up with, and that was usually enough. Tonight however she added, and told him so in no uncertain terms, that her husband was being an old fogy seeing that this was Penny's sweet sixteen party, she had baby-sat to perdition in order to fund the party (with a little Parker parent help, Delores mainly), had done mostly what they had asked of her, as much as one could expect from a rock-addled post World War II teenager from what she had read in the women's magazines that she was addicted to reading.

My Father years ago told me about a performer who was like none other.  Word was that women at his  concert performances littered the stage with room keys, notes, and an  occsional undergarment (so he MUST have been a Bad Man in the sexually  repressed Fifties).  It certainly comes through in his music.  Wilson was  a great performer, like none before him.  Not as flamboyant as Little  Richard, but better pipes, and more raw emotion that could ever be  harnessed.  he was.  Moves as fluid as a ballet dancer combined with the  athleticism of a boxer (which we was), passion, and a voice like an opera  singer.

After that, they did the cool 'Learning To Fly', which had a VERY cool laser segment in the middle of it. Afterwards, they did a few cool songs from 'The Division Bell'. Then 'Sorrow', more 'Division Bell' stuff. They closed the first half with 'Another Brick In The Wall-Pt. 2', then finished with the awsome instrumental 'One Of These Days'! First half of the show...COOL! Now, the second half....COOLER! The second half was a FULL live performance of 'Dark Side Of The Moon'!!! THE WHOLE THING!

The 3 finales were, 'Wish You Were Here'(performed outstandingly!),'Comfortably Numb'(the best version i have heard and seen...especaily David Gilmour's long guitar solo at the end!), and then finally 'Run Like Hell'(AWSOME!!!)!

Sweet combines strong guitar lines, often bittersweet lyrics and some amazing hook laden songwriting to construct his gem.  The best songs are the title track, "Divine Inspiration," "I've Been Waiting," "Evangelinie," and "I Wanted to Tell You."  The album only drawback is that at fifteen tracks it contains just a bit too much filler material.  Otherwise, its about as good as pop rock gets.

+The best copy I own is vinyl DCC release mastered by Steve Hoffman. While I'm not a huge fan of Mr. Hoffman, he does get some of his work done exceptionally well. And in the case of Hotel California, he knocks it out of the park. The cost of used DCC copies now range over $300, so they aren't affordable for most people. The DCC Gold CD however, with the decline of physical digital media, has become similarly priced to the 180g vinyl pricing. I haven't heard this CD, but I would go that route over the new 180g version. I recommend getting the Gold CD over the new vinyl just because Hoffman mastered both analog and digital versions. You can do your own research on DCC release, but, Hoffman in essence corrected the mastering to sound better on YOUR speakers. Apparently, Hoffman found out during his remastering that the original album mastering sounded awful unless you matched the playback onto specific JBL monitors that were used on the original mastering. He corrected the mastering to match the sound he heard coming out of JBLs studio monitors to the sound output of home speakers with his remaster. And it sounds completely different from the original mastering and much more refined, at least on my speakers. The drums, don't sound as boomy as they do on the Asylum masters. They asylum masters just sound over produced compared to DCC releases. So consider the Gold CD, if you can find one at a price close to the 180g price, I think your money will be much better spent.

+6715	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This is truly a geat album, especially once you get through the hits.  Okay, "Hotel California" is a deservedly great song in its own right and needs little explanation, but "New Kid in Town" And "Life in the Fast Lane" are simply boring.  The lyrics are kind of interesting but otherwise there's nothing memorable about them.  But once you get to "Wasted Time" and its "Reprise," the Eagles start singing some timeless ballads that are both clearly differentiable from each other and memorable.  True, none of these would have made it as a single, but "Pretty Maids All in a Row," "Try and Love Again," and "The Last Resort" join with "Wasted Time" to make this a seminal album of its generation.  These songs slow down the pace immensely and beautifully illustrate the emptiness of a superficial life with a superficial lifestyle lived in a superficial landscape.  The pathos tugs at the heartstrings.

I am a pianist also. I love great performances. Indeed, with all such marvellous pianists we had in XXth century, it's difficult to know who's the most gifted one: Horowitz, Cziffra, Godowsky, Grainger, Rachmaninoff, Artur Rubinstein, Richter, Pollini, Perahia, Kissin, Ashkenazy, Lazar Berman, Earl Wild, etc,..., but there's a true difference: the people who made something more... like Horowitz in his transcriptions of some works. Indeed Horowitz version of the Wedding march is better than the original Liszt's version. And condidering the fact that Godowsky learned piano almost all by himself, I have to consider him the greatest pianist of all time, superior to Liszt. Godowsky devoted his entire life to developing the extreme pianism. His pieces often say: "Unplayable" as his impromptus (like some of Liszt). Buy this CD!. Hamelin made a good job in recording them, I'd like to listen to Horowitz or Cziffra playing them, it would be astonishing...

+Throughout his tenure with the Beatles, McCartney had a reputation as a womanizer, a reputation that he most likely relished. Suddenly, in 1969, he finds himself not only married, but the overnight father of a six year old girl, and with a baby girl due in five months. And it's no coincidence that Linda was pregnant with a third daughter during the recording of Ram. So Ram is an album which explores the ethics of womanizing ("We believe we can't be wrong"),deals with the guilt of immoral actions, and actually ties that in with his own personal relationships. Side one of the album (tracks 1-6) actually adresses his relationships with his friends (3 Legs = John, George, & Ringo) with more than a little vindictiveness hidden behind a wall of humorous metaphors. Side two (tracks 7-12) contrasts those transient relationships with permanent familial relationships (Linda and his daughters) with thoroughly good-humored dirty jokes.

This 1973 concert was filmed in London in what proved to be Bowie's last performance as the king of androgynous rock and roll.  All of the songs you want to hear are on this one--"Space Oddity," "Changes," "All the Young Dudes," "Suffragette City"--and whatever the limitations of the film and its transfer to DVD, there is something to be said for seeing Bowie do these songs instead of just hearing them on CD.

This CD has "Only The Lonely", as well as Orbison's other big hits, along with some other good tunes that you may not have heard if you're not a fan.

This was back when BDP dropped fresh material every year from '87 (Criminal Minded) until '92 (Sex & Violence), so that's not necessarily as easy as it may sound. With classic tracks like "Love's Gonna Get 'Cha", "Ya Strugglin' ", "House Ni***s", "100 Guns" (Ja Rule bit this joint), "Beef", and "Blackman In Effect", you know that the album is, at the very least, doper than most other 1990 hip hop releases. But there are solid tracks laced throughout the album and there are no fillers. Personally, I can't imagine why anyone would give this album less than 5 stars, but that's just me. This album is just as fresh now as it was 17 (oh my god, 17 years?!!!) years ago.

JUDY GARLAND: THE CONCERT YEARS might not be the best possible collection, but it isn't a bad one, and while it is true that Garland was probably at her vocal best in the 1950s, she still had enough going on in the 1960s to out-distance virtually any other vocalist around.  Recommended.

+Band 8: Franco Corelli -1963 (2:53)  - "Non piangere Liu". I have never heard Corelli sing better than this performance. Beautiful voice, fine presence, good acting. Plus it's nice to see an opera singer who doesn't look like an over-stuffed easy chair.
+What makes RAM superior to McCartney's first solo effort is the inclusion of other musicians (and not just novice Linda, who got equal billing here). Although decent on guitar and only fair on drums, the future Sir Paul's true instrumental talents lay in his bass-playing, which shines brightly on this record. "Monkberry Moon Delight" for example, is driven by the bass line.
+Yeah the previously mentioned Tour Guide can get a little annoying after multiple listens and it really hurt right around the time Phife Dawg uttered the line, Your styles are incomplete same as Vinny Testaverde" he got traded to the Brown and replaced Bernie Kosar (another brilliant move by Bill Belichicken) as QB prompting the team to be so bad it moved. Even with all that, this outing from Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad not only is one of the greatest rap albums of all time but one of the greatest albums across all genres.

+The actual songs on this cd are awesome, using really cool guitar riffs combined with excellent, excellent, excellent (I'd keep going if I could) drums to emphasize the anger and frustration in Maynard's almost hypnotic vocals. Some of the songs (like Hooker With A Penis and Eulogy) stress his anger towards different people. Other songs (like Jimmy and Third Eye) make no sense at all, but still make for a great listen.

Take it from a true rocker: this cd is going to be in your cd player until it shatters. Go pick it up as soon as you can.

+All in all, I think "The Elektric Band" set a new standard in fusion, and must have spawned a whole new generation of bands, trying to reach that level. And I can still listen to it today and get the same enjoyment from it. Amazingly, a live gig of the band was actually shown on TV around the time of the album's release! Scott played guitar throughout that performance. It was incredible actually seeing these players carrying it off live! I only wish someone would re-release that particular gig on DVD.

I saw Joan Baez perform at Carnegie Hall in the fall of 1987 and she sang "Famous Blue Raincoat" in her concert. I ran to a record store the next day and, appropriately fevered, bought this album. I was excited because I was a fan of Jennifer Warnes from her Arista Records days ("Right Time of the Night" and "I Know a Heartache When I See One"), and while I knew of her connection to Leonard Cohen (she is credited as background singer Jennifer Warren on Cohen's 1973 album "Live Songs"), finding her singing a full album of Leonard Cohen's material was enough to send my young soul into orbit.

+Oddly enough, even the expanded liner notes don't reveal too much more than the notes for the Ryko edition, which were already longer than those Costello penned for most of the previous Ryko reissues.

If you like the blues and you don't know Otis Rush yet, do yourself a favour and buy this album.  It features Otis' brilliant guitar playing and impassioned vocals.  In Robert Palmer's Deep Blues the legendary Muddy Waters says that Otis has a voice like the old timers, and his guitar playing helped inspire Clapton early on.  Otis' gutar cuts and weaves through these tracks, and his voice is warm and impassioned.  Check out his version of "Rainy Night In Georgia" which deserves to be more famous than Brook Benton's.  I think it's the albums hidden gem, because many of Otis' signature tunes that he still plays live to this day take up the rest of the album.  Stop reading and buy it!

+As the Editorial Review suggested above, it is the tracks with Santana's band alone that are the real highlights. ("Primavera" is a particular favorite of mine, but the rest, most of them more upbeat, are no less impressive.) The pop-star collaborations aren't too bad overall, but none of them really show Santana at his best in the way the other tracks do. Still, "Love of My Life" (which borrows the song-like main tune of the third movement of Brahms' Third Symphony), "Put Your Lights On", "Maria Maria," and "Wishing It Was" are entertaining cuts (although it was the arguably overplayed "Smooth" that was the big hit). The album ends with Santana and Eric Clapton, two old guitar-playing legends, jamming together infectiously on "The Calling." Perhaps Santana himself has found the calling for newfound modern-day success in this album. Certainly, he has elicited a calling in me to go explore some of the older albums of this great, legendary musician. If nothing else, SUPERNATURAL serves as a good introduction to Santana and his soulful brand of musicmaking. Recommended.

+You will never find this old stuff again and such clarity !
+One thing which makes this a great live album is the fact that all the tracks effortlessly flow from one to the next with practically no interruption. You practically have to look at the track counter to see that you have gone from `Bwana DIK' (sic) to `Latex Solar Beef', which, by the way, has almost all the chops of a better Pete Townsend minidrama. I can almost imagine the spin put onto this album by the `Rolling Stone' and `Crawdaddy' of 1971, claiming as much coup for Zappa on this work as has been heaped on Townsend for `Tommy'. Well, maybe that's taking it just a bit too far, as `Tommy' is an epic story of mystical loss and recovery while `The Mud Shark' is simply a collection of songs and stories about unbridled rock star libido.

+This album is pop/jazz, and it's nice. The opening track is oversung but that's where it stops. Look at "Nobody Does Me" as a test for your speakers. Play it loud enough and you'll shatter crystal. Don't blow your speakers.
+309	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	It is very fitting that Re-Machined, a Deep Purple tribute album that was released in 2012 and boasts covers by everyone from The Flaming Lips to Metallica, opens with a rendition of a song that is probably the bands most well-known hit single, Smoke On The Water. And even though it is played by a surprising pairing of Carlos Santana and Jacoby Shaddix (of Papa Roach fame), it is nevertheless a pretty darn convincing and very hard rocking cover that utilizes the original songs guitar riffs, and backs them up with shredding, wah-wah-ish leads and fiery, unorthodox solos. (Santana sure gets set loose, here, and is really permitted to really showcase his amazing talents.) Next, following Chickenfoots blistering cover of Highway Star, the album tosses in perhaps its heaviest moment, with a Glenn Hughes/Chad Smith cover of Maybe Im A Leo, which pounding, lurching, doomy guitar hooks and downtuned bass licks. Plenty of blistering guitar soloing is also included, here, as are wailing vocals that evoke Chris Cornells glory days more than anything else.
+I was a junior in high school when Cliff died and we were all shocked and in disbelief. When reality hit, it was a sad time for us. Gone was metal's most original bass player. Metallica wanted him so bad in the begining that they packed up and moved from LA to San Fran just to have him.
+8586	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	"Opiate" is Tool's debut release - a CD made up of the heaviest material Tool had written at the time of recording.  This really comes through on this CD - Although the use of distortion isn't as extreme as "Aenima", the songs themselves are of a far more metal variety. The album opens up with "Sweat", a song with a sudden and loud opening, before being followed by "Hush", a song with lyrics soaked in sarcasm.  "Part of Me" is the third song, boasting both catchy lyrics and chorus.  "Cold and Ugly" and the amazing "Jerk Off" are both live performances which serve to highlight the talents of Tool live - The "Bob-Marley-Wannabe" Manyard talks about is rumoured to be the lead singer of "Green Jelly" jumping around with a dredd-lock wig on.  "Opiate" is the quiet, come-down track on the album. "Opiate" is best seen as a face of Tool - The violent, heavy face wielded like a sledgehammer.  It lacks the subtlety of Tool's later albums but makes up for it in spirit.  The artwork inside the CD sleeve is also excellent and interesting.

+This 1971 album is typical of Sandy's solo albums in being mainly filled with mellow, romantic songs, most of them written by Sandy herself, with the occasional cover version. Like the others, this album was re-issued in 2005 with extra tracks, some being alternate versions of those that appear on the main album and some being different songs.
+What truly distinguishes this album is the flow. It really feels as though you're at a Zappa event, with well timed audience interactions and great segues. The "Village Of The Sun", "Echidna's Arf (Of You)", "Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?" trio flow one into the other so gracefully. It may in fact be the product of post production editing but the band has so often more than proven themselves expert at remarkable segues and adjusted tempos that I don't question it here.
+9391	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	When Tool released their second disc, Undertow, in 1994 they broke through into a more mainstream crowd (thanks in part to the sucess of "Sober" with the eerie video for it).  Now Tool has shown their  growth in Aenema which gets even freakier and wierder than Undertown.  "Stinkfist" is a song although censored by MTV is really about a  relationship.  "Eulogy" shows a new side of Tool and features  Maynard talking about the exisistance of Christ and he writes his lyrics in  such a way that it's hard to even tell if he is for or against the man.  "H" is I think about abuse and features an awesome rythem section  backed by Adam Clayton's great rythem guitar parts.  Sonically, "Forty  Six & Two" and "Hooker.." are great with the  intstruments and vocals coming in at perfect times.  "Aenema" was  all over the radio here in NYC a couple years ago and is still played a few  times still today.  The most bizarre and best track is the last one  "Third Eye" which starts out slow but then goes into some of the  most amazing vocals I have ever heard.  Even if you aren't a fan of heavy  music, this CD will please you because it shows that this band sees music  as a true art form, not just a commercial thing, and these four fine  muscicians are right on tact on this CD.
+As a player myself, it is hard for me to fathom that she could do all of this with such tiny hands.

The sound mixing is awsome coming through a 5.1 system  The packaging is very slick, with a promo post-card for David Gilmore's solo album "on an island" and then a very intricate map of the menus of the DVD.  Sure it is odd that they split up the concert onto 2 dvd's, but the continuity to the original 2 cd set is a neat concept, because they added bonus features to both discs to compliment them.  Overall, the original concert footage is 145 minutes, the total runtime is about 4 hours of footage and Concert. Too bad they chose to shoot this in a 4:3 aspect instead of widescreen film when they did it orignially.

+5210	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I had heard of Taj Mahal but had never sampled his work until very recently, and I picked his 1997 album "Senor Blues" pretty much at random.  My experiences with Van Morrison and Dr John had got me interested in what I guess is a second or third generation of blues (the first being Leadbelly and Robert Johnson, I guess) and what we have with these musicians who are now around 60 years of age is something a bit more polished or finished than what I imagine the original blues shouters to have produced.  But there's still plenty of energy as well as polish on "Senor Blues" with a range of material running from the late 1990's back to around 1930 ("I'll be glad when you're dead") and taking in work by Hank Williams ("Mind your own Business"), Delbert McClintock, Marvin Gaye, and Sam Cooke.  It's all great.  The title track is a beauty, as is "I must have had a bad day" and everything else on the album.  The backup band is right on point (nice brass work), and there's a lot of variety to the material.  Vocally, Taj can go rough or smooth as the song demands.  The whole thing is a delight.  The transformation of pain into pleasure is one of the great mysteries of art -- why do we leave "King Lear" feeling uplifted? -- and on a very fundamental level, the blues has a similar effect.  Highly recommended.

What I liked most in this CD, all new-arrangement songs were played as if they were on stage. You can feel the energy and intensity, especially on the drums and sax.

Although not as popular with the radio exec's in my part of the USA, "My Hope is You," "Who I Am," and "How's Your Head" also deserve credit.

+ This 1987 opus "Freedom At Midnight" remains my favorite albums of his and has been since I first heard the title track and "Kei's Song" off this classic record.
+There are several gems, like Human Behaviour, the one clip that started it all. It's loopy, dreamy and predatory at the same time and the hungry look on Bjork's face when she's staring at that poor little moth is priceless. Army of Me, styled in a somewhat similar teddy bear on acid style, has a terrorist plot, mad dentist and incredible look to it. It's All so Quiet is more of a Spike Jones video that Bjork's, but it's a classic and justly famous dancerama. I Miss You, aka animated Bjork cavorting with Ren and Stimpy is mad, bad and great fun. And finally Joga, with its incredible Icelandic lanscapes and breathing volcanos, and Hunter, one of those spooky and astonishing Bjork videos featuring nothing more than half naked Bjork and amazing special effects, in this case morphing her into an antarctic animal.
+As I said this is the best live album but not my favorite by Zappa. It is great to listen to but I often times find myself listening to Bongo Fury or Guitar instead when I want to listen to a live album. But this is a great one because of the interaction with the crowd, Frank truly was the master of ceremonies, and a great one at that.
+A co-write with Christ Stainton of The Grease Band - "Dixie Lullaby" opens with a Dylan-like Harmonica intro before the band gets all Little Feat Dixie Chicken funky on this tune about penniless Willie down on Beale Street smiling as he sings his tunes. There's messing around at the beginning of the reluctant bachelor song "I Put A Spell On You" with studio stops and starts - but when the song does kick in - you can feel that good-ole-boy Lynyrd Skynyrd vibe as the band takes off - Derek & The Dominoes type lead guitar backed up by righteous tambourine slapping ladies and a furious piano speed from Russell  ("...come quickly mama...") Apparently based on a true story of two men (Junior and the Drummer) fighting over a woman - "Shoot Out On The Plantation" is a "Watching The River Flow" rocker. His much-covered "Hummingbird" starts out as Funky Acoustic ditty but quickly settles into a lovely melody - his lady soothing - gets him where he lives - the audio on this baby is fabulous.

+"White Room" is just a great, great hard rock song.  Bruce's bass sets a massive tone, and Clapton's wah wah soloes are fantastic.  One of Cream's ultimate high points in the studio.  "Politician" and "Sitting on Top of the World" are blues numbers.  "Those Were The Days", "Deserted Cities of the Heart" are more up tempo rockers.  "Born Under A Bad Sign" is a rocking blues number, with great Jack Bruce vocals.  "Passing the Time" and "As You Said" are mid tempo rockers, multi-layered and deserve the label "psychedelic".

+The outer card slipcase has lent all four of her Island albums a genuinely classy feel (these card slipcases apply to the Richard Thompson and Fairport Convention Remasters - there's an advert slip for them beside the booklet) - and all four can be had for less than a fiver in most cases. True some better 'Deluxe Edition' versions ("Rendezvous" especially) - but it want the simple direct approach - then this is the one for you. The 12-page booklet has informative and affectionate liner notes from noted writer and folk-compiler DAVID SUFF (of Fledgling Records reissue fame) peppered with photos of a young Sandy, hand-written lyrics to the title track and a quirky trade advert for the LP's release. The only boo-boo is the 'Pink Eye' Island Records label on the CD - that colouring only applied to 1968 and 1969 LPs - by 1971 it was the 'Pink Rim' Palm-Tree Logo on all their UK LPs. The album artwork is pictured beneath the see-through CD tray as well...a nice touch.
+This is followed by the one and only recording (that I know of) of an incredible instrumental Frank simply calls `Thirteen' based on the time signature of the song. Which would probably drive most drummers crazy, but we ARE talking about the one and only Vinnie Coliuta here. Also features a violin solo by L Shankar and a lively solo by frank.

+Opiate is Tool's debut. It's only got seven songs (one is hidden), and they're all good. Each is hand-crafted by the demented minds of Maynard James Keenan and co., and it really shows on this one. The best songs on here are Part Of Me, Sweat and Hush, but the whole album is worth listening to. It's a quick listen, nowhere near the length of Undertow or AEnima. It's also a bit rawer than either album, since, like I said, this is their debut, and they had yet to get their sound perfected. There's also a hidden song after Opiate that's really quite funny.

+In addition to the above, there is some wonderful footage of Martinelli, de Luca, Tauber, Tibbett, Stevens, de Los Angeles, Sutherland, Price, Olivero, Corelli, Vickers, and more. This is a true cornucopia of operatic legends.
+"Roxy & Elsewhere" has funny dialogue, good, lively interplay between band members and audience, and a clean, immediate sound, as if the band were set up in your home. One thing that is funny, how many times do you see a rock audience seriously listening to a jazzy trombone solo, and liking it?
+The album features three cover versions. The opening track "I Wish I Was a Fool For You" was written by long-time friend Richard Thompson whose great guitar playing is present on many Denny recordings. It's the most hardrocking track on the album and a great opener. The inclusion of Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" is probably a mistake; Sandy doesn't sound very inspired and the arrangement of the song is not very different from the original. Her version of "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" is much more successful, it sounds like a Denny original.
+
+Despite my four-decade love for her  Im down with both arguments. Grassman... is a patchy album in truth with moments of brilliance nestled uncomfortably alongside material that either seems too ordinary for her incredibly expressive voice or is too often an LP proffering songs that just shouldnt be here.

+4756	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	The good news is here's another Steely Dan album.  The bad news is it's another Steely Dan album.  If you're a diehard Dan fan then you'll like whatever they churn out.  After so many albums, though, the music is  becoming formulaic and predictable.  The lyrics are still bizarre as ever,  but the rythms and oddball harmonies are just warmed over.  There's no  excitement on this album, as in My Old School, Bodhisattva, Between the  Raindrops, or any number of old Dan and Fagen tunes.
+One of my very favorites is his duet with k.d. lang, "Moonglow," which was performed in a subtle and relaxed manner.
+
+[2:19] Girl Don't Tell Me
+The third track, 'The poor ditching boy', is a heartwrenching look at what lost love can do to one's heart and soul: 'With her scheming, idle ways, she left me poor enough. The storming wind cut through to my skin, but she cut through to my blood'. The album continues with 'Shaky Nancy', a portrait of a seemingly broken woman who no one really knows well, but who is possessed of a mysterious, unnameable strength: 'She'll send you a message and turn to stone -- she's a hard girl, Nancy'.
+
+The album consists of mediocre alterna-pop and weak R&B tunes  enlivened only by Carlos' distinctive guitar work, which actually is kept  to a minimum here.  And it took me about two months to recognize the intro  to "Smooth" and not wonder why the local pop station had suddenly  taken it into their heads to play Dio's "Rainbow In The Dark"  (the two intros sound unnervingly alike).  If the kids who listen to this  do go back and get some of Carlos' older stuff, the album's purpose will  indeed have been served.  Until then . . .

Art was always the performance talent of Simon and Garfunkel, with his distinctive voice(Paul did the composing).  Now after all these years of being a solo artist, Art has a small folio of songs that were minor hits.  As a folk singer(which is what S&G were after all), it is not surprising that he is not a top 40 star.  His songs, especially as a solo artist, are more traditional, laid back, and simple.  The "wall of sound" that characterize our modern FM pop hits is not evident; a simple guitar or piano accompaniment is all that was required for this performance.  See if you don't prefer that "purity" and simplicity better than the cacophony of some of our more modern and popular "music".

+I reckon this here Paul McCartney & Wings album is much the same way. See, he managed to pull another four singles off this album in 1976 and they included "Let 'em In" and "Silly Love Songs" which were right up there at the top of the pile (if you axe me). I enjoy listening to this one when I'm out in the shed working on something like rebuilding the linkages in the brush hog, or tamping down the flue on the port-a-smelter. This one puts me in the mood to start workin' and just-a-keep-on workin' - so I call this one my "workin' album."  I had me the old LP when it come out in '76, then I wore that out and got another, then another, and then CDs came out and this one was one of the first I ever did get. Since then, I done wore out three CDs and am on my 4th... that's how good this thing is.
+The hits are pretty much the only memorable songs on the album. I will flat out say that I have always loved and continue to love "Silly Love Songs". It sticks out on this album like a turd in a punchbowl precisely because it is the only track that seems to have any real fire to it. Aping some of the disco conventions of the era, it remains a great piece of pop workmanship. The "I love you / I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, now can't you see? / How can I tell you about my loved one?" vocal threeway between Paul, Linda, and Denny is so disarming, it's practically irresistable. And that happy horn section? Sappy, saccharine, maudlin? Maybe. But umm... what's wrong with that? Especially if it's done this musically. "Let 'Em In", on the other hand, is a lesser entry. In fact it's pretty dopey and plodding throughout, but again there's something memorable to it that sets it apart from the sea of mediocrity in which it is surrounded.
+6650	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I can't add much to what's been written already. Excellent playing.  Acoustic spacegrass jazz?  Just exquisite music.  Add this, "The Telluride Sessions" and "Skip Hop and Wobble" to your acoustic music collection.
+Diamond Dogs is too schizophrenic, so the album suffers. Since Bowie expends a great deal of energy trying to develop a theme that never gels, two straight-ahead rock and roll numbers ("Diamond Dogs" and "Rebel Rebel") have the burden of carrying the entire album. They aren't enough. The "Sweet Thing/ Candidate" medley is the only other musical offering on side one; It takes him minutes, but takes us nowhere. The same goes for side two's "Big Brother" segment. "Rock and Roll with Me" is as close as Bowie has ever come to writing generic material, and "We Are the Dead" is lifeless, which leaves "1984" to carry the entire second half of the album. Even this is greatly disappointing, though, especially since it was drastically edited from the ten-minute centerpiece that it had become in recent live (and televised) performances. Why spend so much time and energy introducing your audience to something if you aren't going to utilize it on your album? It is questions like these that remain unanswered, and it is reasons like this that make Diamond Dogs seem so inconsistent, schizophrenic, and confused.  B Tom Ryan
+Electric keyboard aside, Diane rises above the cold hand of technology offering warmth through her perfect vocal delivery.  "Louisana Sunday Afternoon" is one of the newest songs on this set and while the song is arranged in a then dated Fender Rhodes piano, the tempo, sax solo, and Diane's overdubbed four block vocal harmony actually works. The song was a radio hit for her.
+"Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" has Foxy opening a pack of Stock-Aitken-Waterman's bubblegum, and she blows Bananarama-sized bubbles with it, not as big as "Venus", more like "I Heard A Rumour."

+Back to Hotel California. I think "The Last Resort" is a great closer, but Henley almost ruins it by getting preachy in the final verse. I said almost.

+4097	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The Bee Gees have always been great performers, but this is their career topping concert. Four decades of songs are showcased here with impeccable harmonies and a first class band. The highlights are the guest appearances whether ala 'Nat King Cole' style or real like Celine Dion. Yup, Franki Valli and a tear-jerking Andy Gibb can be heard here as well as the Celine highlight. There is too much and too little as great songs like, "Nights On Broadway" and "Guilty" are cut short, but the typical 'Bee Gees song medley' and the 'Night Fever/More Than A Woman' segment made up for that. In retrospect, the concert could have had more lighting effects, but, geez, the sound is just so good, you wonder if it really makes a difference. This was a historic event.
+14 songs is fine for a video collection. Personally, I am glad they didn't put the early years songs in. If this DVD skimmed Madonna's career from the start, then the feeling of watching these videos again wouldn't be the same for me.
+But we don't have these things, and we never will.  The cut footage from the 1970's editing room floor has undoubtedly long since been swept into the dustbin of history.

+And, for more Rick Wakeman, he continues his magic on the "Jingle Bells/Hallelujah/Roundabout" medley. The first two parts feature Rick on the keyboards alone. First, he starts with a fairly reverent version of "Jingle Bells," then all of a sudden, it turns into a funked-up, bluesy piece, with the audience members clapping along. Then comes his interpretation of "Hallelujah," which was magnificently done, as he plays a synthesizer with his left hand, and what I think is a mellotron with his right hand simultaneously. It's unbelievable how he could get orchestral/choiral effects out of his instrument. But, of course, that may as well have been the technology at the time. But, in any event, it was nice to watch what many non-prog rock fans would simply call silliness and indulgence. And to end it all, there's an energetic version of "Roundabout." The encore was lots of fun as well, which was the fiery live version of "Yours Is No Disgrace."

+678	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Without a doubt Leopold Godowsky was one of the greatest pianists who ever lived.  However, a musician with great technical and interpretive abilities does not necessarily make a great composer.  The reverse is also true, as it was in the case of the amazing composer but simply average pianist Gustav Mahler.  Unfortunately, for all his pianistic talent, Godowsky didn't really have that extra spark that makes for a great composer.  These studies on Chopin's etudes are undoubtedly some of the most technically difficult pieces ever written for piano, and can be played only by the greatest virtuosos, such as Marc-Andre Hamelin, but they are not the most creative or espressive.  Sadly, when Godowsky "touched up" Chopin's etudes, he somehow lost the lyricism, poetry, and pure emotion that one finds in the originals.  The pianism that Hamelin exhibits in playing these 53 pieces leaves you begging for more Hamelin but the compositions have you yearning for the originals.  These studies, to me, seem like nothing more than interesting exercises based on masterpieces.  They're definitely worth hearing, but they cannot compare with the originals.  Get it to hear Hamelin's amazing pianism not Godowsky's compositional ability. Also don't get these if you expect to hear something Chopin-esque.  Sure, you'll immediately recognize that Chopin was the inspiration for these pieces but you won't really hear the heart of Chopin.
+It's no surpise that he doesn't quite shake off his Fairport trappings. Most of the band can be found in the credits. Yet, Thompson still manages to find his own voice while keeping Fairport's Medievil contrivences at bay. Mordant, playful and arcanely witty, HENRY is a perfect introduction to "rock's best kept secret". Here, Thompson's able to flesh out what was hinted at in his last outing with Fairport. "Poor Will & The Jolly Hangman" was certainly a highlight off of FULL HOUSE and it  would have been right at home on HENRY.

+The performances of Neemi Jarvi and the Scottish National Orchestra are affectionate all-round and bestowed with Chandos' usual atmospheric, radiant sound (albeit with a bit less warmth in comparison with the original releases of these works). The compilation for me though, seems rather superfluous, since in the original albums, Glazunov's "The Sea" and "Spring" as well as Kalinnikov's overture to "Tsar Boris" and "The Cedar and the Palm" were also featured alongside the symphonies: the shorter works that are now scattered with reissues of works of other composers. Moreover, the booklet essay could use a bit more depth. So for anyone who already possesses the original discs of these wonderful, inspiring works, there's really no need to acquire this album. For newcomers, however, this is an appealing buy. But you may have to go out of your way to get Jarvi's renditions of the aforementioned shorter works, by far the best in the catalogue.

+Karrin has a fresh, almost pellucid vocal timbre with a fetching androgynous quality and energetic, aggressive edge. And she definitely has her act together, based on the evidence of this carefully produced session. There's not much left to chance--none of the extemporaneous melodic reinventions of an Ella or Sarah--but her vocalese choruses based on notated jazz solos rank with the best of Jon Hendricks or the Manhattan Transfer. And her scatting on "All of You" and "Cherokee" certainly doesn't hurt. Whether the ventures into "folk" ("Robert Frost," "And So It Goes," and "Here, There, and Everywhere") earn her extra points for virtuosity ("Collage" is an accurate description) or detract from her jazz credentials probably depends on the listener's generation and frame of reference. The sound of female voice and acoustic guitar accompaniment is innocuous but the least uncommon sound in pop music (thankfully, there's no "The Rose"). And it probably shouldn't go unmentioned that for good measure she displays her command of both French ("Autumn Leaves") and Spanish ("Missing a Piece") before salvaging (but hardly restoring) a piece of 60's ephemera called "Live for Life."

+^--- that was my first one star  review.  As you can see I have changed my mind and I'm updating this review.  The record is still thin and cheaply made but as I have already pointed out it plays just fine.  I had thought that the song cold and ugly was missing.  I was mistaken.  I put on the album again today and realized that depending on where you set the needle down at the beginning of the B side,  you will hear either cold and ugly and the rest of the second half of the album as it was meant to be heard. Or,  if you hit the right groove you were here the hidden track at the end of the CD instead.  I did not even know this was possible to pull off, on vinyl.  I am upping my rating to four stars seeing as how it plays just fine and was not advertised as 180g.  At this point I would have to say the biggest downside to it,  is that you never know what song you're going to get when you start the B side.
+The program has been tinkered with, of course, first remixed into stereo and then colorized.  The stereo isn't bad--but the colorization was a mistake: Sinatra's famous blue eyes have a truly peculiar cast, and the skin tones have a painted-on look.  But I wouldn't avoid this tape on that account.  On the other hand, a lot of Garland's television work is being slowly but surely released on DVD, and you may prefer to bypass this particular out-of-print tape in favor of a future DVD release.  But one way or another, this is one that hardcore Garland fans will want to have in their collection.
+On "Barnyard Story" Brooker again matches Keith's lyrics with slow, moaning piano. Keith again relates human preparation for death and recalls former glorys with mythology. A depressing view of the mortal condition.  "Piggy Pig Pig" has more sprightly music to recommend it, but the cry to clense one's self is not enough, least we forget that "God's aloft, the winds are cold". To Keith Reid, salvation is a treacherous road.

This would be Zappa's first album to go gold in the U.S. and would actually get some airplay on more progressive oriented radio stations here.  To many longtime Zappa fans this album was a bit of a commercial sell out, while at the same time it opened up Frank's music to a whole new set of fans.  I have mixed feelings about this album, some of it is brilliant and some I find a bit annoying.  "I Am The Slime", "Dirty Love", "Dinah Moe Hum" and "Montana" are all prime Zappa satire.  On the other hand songs like "50/50" and "Zomby Woof" grate on my ears every time I listen to them.  In the end I give this one 3.5 to 4 stars.

The first album by Cream did nothing to overturn my prejudice against this. Their second album wasn't bad. "Wheels of fire" is a five star album in my view. It's highly polished album orientated blues rock, with an endearing "English-ness" about it...something that "Disraeli gears" lacked, I think, despite it being their most lauded album, appearing on the tv series "Classic albums". Of Cream's first three albums, it is "Wheels of fire" which is most worthy of giving rise to the "super-group" moniker which the band usually gets attached to it.

+A major highlight is "I Want You". Easily one of the creepiest & most powerful songs Costello & Co. have ever recorded. I suppose the whole album could be summed up with the lines, "the truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark/ it scares you witless but in time you see things clear & stark".

Alot of people are kind of slamming on Myles Kennedy here. I think he does a great job and is able to pull off some of Slash's previous work with G&R and Velvet Revolver. Not too many guys out there to do this. He fits the mold. As with most singers for me, I get tired of hearing them over time and prefer one who can chage up there game. Example of a great vocalist that I can only take so much of is Glenn Hughes. Great voice, but after a few songs I am over it. I don't get tired of listening to Myles on here. The song Not For Me is my favorite and sure to become a hit. Happy for Slash, and would definatlly make a point to see them in concert. Slash's new band is more G&R than G&R is.
+8737	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Whenever looking upon Tool's catalogue, the same dilemma comes up on my mind: to choose which album I find better achieved between this one and Lateralus. From where I stand as a fan, both are fine pieces of music raised to some sort of perfection; but, until arriving at this level of feelings, things started on opposite points for each of them: if Lateralus had an immediate impact on me (I think because of my progressive roots, lets say it this way), Aenima needed much more time to digest and getting into; the outstanding opening track, "Stinkfist", was initially overshadowing everything else coming after - which, as a matter of fact, is precisely the main reason why I don't place Undertow at the same level of Aenima or Lateralus - the quality I find on the first 2 tracks is higher than on the rest of the album. But that's not the case here... out of the blue I started to contemplate the magnetism of the sound on the entire album, the epic "Pushit", or the power, speed and lyrics of the title-track, absolutely tremendous. With no doubt an album and band vital to know.
+9684	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The whole album is a lot of fun, reminiscent of carousing a Midway or carnival at a state fair.

Except for Linda, I think the others hold  their own vocally - Joe English (who isn't) in particular on "Must Do  Something About It." Also, Laine's "Time to Hide" is a great  song, the best he's done since Go Now. "San Ferry Anne" and  "Warm and Beautiful" are both mature, beautiful ballads. Imagine  Joe Cocker covering Warm and Beautiful. Finally, add "Silly Love  Songs" and "Let 'Em In," the hits (both of which are really  well produced), and you've got one Macca's better albums (sans Cook of the  House).

I just found those be terrific outings and Cross Purposes doesn't quit live up to the standards on those release. It just lacks the catchiness and overall greatness found on those (and plus I really dig the 80's feel of those albums). Even with its very few disappointments, Cross Purposes is still very much worth checking out for fans of the underrated Martin-era Sabbath albums.
+There's no stupidity on this record. Most commercial hip hop is pretty empty and stupid, so check out this record if you want to see where the "edutainment" kicked off.

Years later, it's gratifying to see the resurgence of interest following the Frou Frou album and Imogen's latest release.  But, if you're looking to drop $50 on a used copy of this album because you like what you've heard so far, you should know that I Megaphone is a very different musical experience.
+This CD has six songs with a hidden track on it, each having it's own flavor and excitement to it.  The opening track "Sweat" is a bit more formulaic in terms of song structure, while the self-titled closing track follows a similar approach, until the band throws an intense jam session at the end.  Live tracks are featured on this CD as well, providing a raw element to Tool that makes you appreciate where this band came from and demonstrates how well they play live.
+So once you are introduced to this piece of musical theater, and the opening fanfare is out of the way, you are taken on a musical journey that spans so many styles and textures, it almost boggles the mind, and by the time you hear the applause at the end of "Little House I Used To Live In," and Frank's "Thank you, goodnight," it's almost like you have just attended a rare, unbelievable live show. Even though it's not all recorded live. The runoff track, "Valarie," is sort of an epilogue, the music you exit this imaginary theater to, and your ear for music will have benefitted from it.

+12) The Back Seat of My Car - A great end to a great album.  This track grows on me every time I listen to it, and it has this sort of anthemic feel to it, as well as being a ballad.  This song would fit in very well in the Abbey Road medley, but it has an even better melody than most of those numbers.
+"Push*t" is another weird metal track that lasts for nearly ten minutes with a fuzzy guitar track that sounds at first like buzzing bees with mesmerizing vocals from Keenan, magnificent drumming from Carey and atmospheric bass hooks from Chancellor that shows the excellent musicianship of this band. "Cesaro Summability" is another weird track of a baby crying with distorted guitars in the background that serves as an intro to the next track "Aenema". "Aenema" is the album's big highlight with its melodic bass hooks, guitar grooves, powerful drums, and Keenan's powerful track that starts out as a metal-driven track until the middle of the song where Justin Chancellor's bass riffs dominate the track backing Keenan's mesmerizing vocals with Carey's powerful drumming accompanying him. Then Jones' brings in a powerful slide guitar solo until Carey comes in with this powerful drum track while Chancellor and Jones both come in with their assaults backing Keenan's vocals until the song softens up a bit and then becomes a even powerful song right through the end. Tool at its finest.
+This was the fourth album to feature the band's fellow Brit bandmate Tony Martin as frontman, and in many ways his rich, soulful and extremely powerful vocals are the centerpiece here.

GNR stopped the hair metal dominating tv, and now VR is driving out pop punk. however, i don't really think that VR will ever make it as big as GNR did. but this may be a good thing, because shortly after GNR reached extreme popoularity, they came to an end. but now for the music. as i said before, they aren't quite as heavy as GNR, and vocalist Scott Weiland isn't anywhere near as talented as Axl Rose. SUCKER TRAIN BLUES is a cool song that gets the album going. then there are some alright songs and then theres SPECTACLE. after SPECTACLE the next good song is HEADSPACE. then SET ME FREE, SLITHER and DIRTY LITTLE THING. these are the best songs on the album, but there are some other ok songs it really depends on what your looking for in these guys. but the bottom line is there will probably never be another Guns N Roses, but these guys are doing a pretty good job at keeping some rock in the mainstream.

Fresh Aire Christmas is a total delight, recreating the magic that is Mannheim Steamroller. My family and I listened to this CD many times over the Christmas season and beyond. This music is good at any time of the year. Beautifully done.
+Second track, Amsterdam, is pretty boring and meaningless, I didn't find myself paying attention to it at all. Yoko's 'Listen, the Snow is Falling' is actually a really gorgeous little song, with beautiful backing. The only thing I never could stand about her is that sometimes she is in perfect, beautiful pitch, then the next note she's horribly out of tune...how could that be? I'd rather hear her wailing and screaming than hear her trying to sing, she just isn't consistent at all.

+  1) Although the content is excelent. The sound quality kinda sucks (which is why I rated it four stars instead of five). A lot of reviewers claim that the live tracks sound so much like the studio ones. This is probably because the studio songs have so little added in the production process that it really sounds like one big live recording (in other words kinda thin).

He is the first and last man on earth. He is Job, Prometheus, Mani and Zarathustra. His song is a great humanist assertion or a great song of Gnostic defiance or both. You say it's just a blues with two chords? No, it's the blues transcended. It's the apotheosis of the blues - and it could only be achieved with Bruce's heroic jouissance as a singer, and simultaneously playing bass which is partly where the incredible tension comes from: i.e doing both: Robert Johnson achieved a similar contrapuntal tension singing and playing the guitar at the same time but only connoiseurs seem to be able to hear it.

+6840	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	A very diverse album, and a very fun one on top of that. It's also a real grower. Sure, it's just about impossible to take this one seriously, but the melodic quotient is pretty high - even weak songs such as "Dear Boy", with complexly overlaid but slightly annoying harmonies - are so endearing they're at least tolerable for a while. And some of this is Paul at the prime of his creativity - I like how "Three Legs" moves from bouncy music hall to blues-rock shuffle, and the infamous single "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" is a complicated suite - almost Paul's "Strawberry Fields Forever", though it takes itself about as seriously as "Yellow Submarine". Okay, I'll say without question that "Strawberry Fields" is the better song of the two. Still, I love that "Hands... across the water, water, hands... across the sky" part. Makes my day. Too bad he didn't keep that guitar riff he had going near the end going - then again, following it up is the crashing boogie-doo-wap-rocker "Smile Away", so I can't complain too much. See what I mean? Diversity! Paul's a creative guy! Okay, so I will say that sometimes the album does get way too ambitious - my favorite (or rather, least favorite) example is "Long Haired Lady", an attempt to mix rock, psychedelia, opera, and folk that is crushed under its own weight. Me, I like "Uncle Albert" more. And I know Paul was always a Beach Boys fan, and if you like them you'll probably have a field day, because this borrows heavily from them. I have never been a fan of that group, so I don't like it much. There are some other lightweight songs, like the folk song "Heart of the Country" and the clunky rocker "Moonberry Monk Delight", and there was no real reason to reprise the title track, even though it's another very good song (especially the ending, where it really starts rocking), but hey, I'm okay with this one. Here's the best part: the reggae-folk bonus cut "Another Day", a hit single, is better than any of the original material (yes, even "Uncle Albert"! And the impressive folk-rocker "Too Many People", which I forgot to mention even though it's a favorite!). Why wasn't it released on the original material? It's one of those songs that boosts the rating all by itself! Oh well...

Nevertheless, Jackie is a bad dude and these songs have stood the test of time. How can you not like: Lonely Teardrops, Baby Workout and Doggin Around. I remember Jackie on the Ed Sullivan Show dancing on top of a piano with his patent leather shoes sliding to the edge of the piano and singing his up tempo songs - What an entertainer.

Without exception, every single person I have ever played this for has had a strong reaction of some (very diverse) sort. I think of this as one of the most valuable recordings in history, not because it is so great, but because it is the best example of "extreme singing" in existence.

They could have also fit this onto ONE video tape or, if 2 was  neccesary, make it longer since an extra tape was to be used.  The booklet  was a nice touch-has photos from the video itself.  It would have been nice  to see more concert footage instead of quick shots with interviews, other  songs playing over it and all the graphics of maps, itenararies, etc.  floating across the screen while your trying to watch a concert shot.

And now Classic Rock stations play the song "Hotel California" so much that I have to turn the radio off when it comes on, or else get sick of what is actually a great song ("Stairway To Heaven Syndrome" psychologists call it). I was, however, a big fan of the album from the git-go, hearing it for the first time in late-December 1976, when the album was played in its entirety by the local rock station.

With everything he has been to America and the world to date - Elvis is the last artist on the roster to benefit from this 20-something ad-hoc tracks culled from dozen original sources. OK, it's a brilliant remaster to bring out yet new dynamics in "Are You Lonesome..." and the booklet texture feels silky stylish, but what's definitely missing is His singularity. Mundane "Surrender" takes place where fancier "Suspicion (torments my heart)" should've been. Few live recordings (again and umpteenth time!) virtually ruin the studio homogenity of this - predominantly studio - collection. No, it's not THAT bad. No one can take Elvis material and come up with an offhand product. But it stand no chance in the store against a "two Elvis albums on 1 CD" thing. Remaster or no remaster.

+  I am a professional guitarist and a Walter Becker fan. His solo release (Eleven Tracks of Whack) is one of the best CD's to come out in the last few years...(in my opinion.) The guitar work there is very tasteful and impressive. NOT SO WITH THIS RELEASE! For some unknown reason he found it necessary to saturate this album with incessant rhythm guitar "chicken-picking" all the way through...even during much of the vocals. The guitar solos also have this effect in them. They are very choppy and irritating sometimes, especially in comparison to the smooth jazz influenced and tasteful solos which highlight previous releases by Steely Dan and Donald Fagen(e.g. Aja, Gaucho, Nightfly) Walter can do better than this. Just listen to his solo LP "11 Tracks of Whack." Two Against Nature would be 100% better with more tasteful, jazzy, and laidback guitar work. The "chicken-picking" just doesn't fit the music!!

The Non-music and "intermission" tracks- Personally, I love em. I think they're  quite atmospheric and provide good buildups to the next track. As for the  "ugliness" of the album, yeah sometimes there's some distorted  guitar noises and other things that aren't particurly pleasing to the ears,  but I suppose it just depends on the person whether they'll like that or  not. But along with this "ugliness", there are several very  beautiful moments on this album as well. Take for example the little guitar  solo in "H." or the opening of "Eulogy", absolutely  breathtaking.

To those not as yet convinced, start with a collection of his '40s Columbias, then to the '50s Capitols, finally to the '60s Reprises, then to the aforementioned two DVDs, and finally to this DVD.  His was a career lasting over 60 years!  His musicianship should not be judged based upon a single performance.
+All in all its just so disappointing.
+This DVD is a waste of money if you have previous Christmas presentations.

Torn by soviet and German rule, at that time, Berlin was one of the saddest places in the world. The first side contains a short, simple songs centered around the theme of psychologically empowered bad habits. "Baby, I've been, breaking glass in your room again/Listen, don't look at the carpet, I drew something awful on it/See, you're such a wonderful person/But you got problems/I'll never touch you." are the only lyrics to Breaking Glass, which is a perfect example of Bowie's ability to write simple, depressive displays. Also listen to Bowie attempt to coo a depressed girl from her room in What In the World and the symbolic Always Crashing the Same Car. The second half consists of Bowie's and Eno's eerie instrumentals. Listening to the desperate yells and bittersweet arrangements of Subterranians or A New Career in a New Town, one can not help but picture a street full of the helplessly unhappy citizens of the torn city.

+To cut this short (forgive my ramblings, I am very passionate about Zappa's music), this is a great album as a starting point for those unfamiliar with Frank Zappa. If it is appealing then by all means explore further, if you like his dirty little ditties head towards Sheikyerbouti, Joe's Garage or Tinseltown Rebellion (and especially the compilation Have I Offended Someone?). If you are impressed by his musical chops, head towards Uncle Meat, Grand Wazoo or The Yellow Shark and if you like his social satire head towards Freak Out, We're Only In It For the Money and Them or Us.

My first boyfriend told me that this IS the Bowie album to have. Of course,  I thought he was totally wrong because everyone knew that "Scary  Monsters" was IT. I finally bought the cd and I must say, MAN!, was he  ever right! "Lodger" leaves no "Bowiesque" musical  style unspoken for. My favorite being "Red Sails". The dichotomy  of the strength of the lyrics and his gentle, but powerful voice use is  Masterful! And ohhhhh (sigh...) "Look Back In Anger": I love how  Bowie warped and twisted disco! "Boys..." is so cleverly  sarcastic it's almost convincing and "African..." seems pre-rap,  except with musical body and substance. (Bowie should have a contest to see  who can repeat the chorus to "African..." seven times fast...)  This cd covers the array of his many different musical styles and flavors  with the grace of a coughing angel and the earnest chords of "such a  life I've never known".  How is that Bowie has always been (with the  exception of "Let's Dance" and "Tonite") and STILL  REMAINS such an incredilbe musical visionary? This IS the Bowie album to  have. Brilliant.

+It's a well known fact that Glenn Frey had diverticulitis and ulcerative colitis which, sadly along with rheumatoid arthritis, led to his premature demise. In the early days, he and Don Henley shared motel rooms on tour and ate a lot of roadside Mexican food because it was cheap. This naturally predisposed Frey to episodes of horrifically pungent flatulence (farts) which Henley felt compelled to immortalize in the song. On stage, Frey would back up to Henley's drum kit and fire off a salvo. On "The Eagles Live" album, you can hear Henley remarking that ..."something's burning back here..." and "...Glenn's really ripping 'em off tonight!"

+6956	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	My wife just bought this CD for me from a thrift store for $2.00 & I love it. I own 2 SACDs of Allison Krauss & always wanted more but was too busy keeping up with other musical artists. I love Blue Grass because of its Celtic roots & American folk history. It's pre-country without steel guitars & songs about truck driving & broken hearts. It's songs about real life; religious & secular. I read many reviews about this CD & most got it right. I like to hear Allison Krauss sing because the male soloists throw me off with the more "twangy" aspects of Blue Grass. I believe the male singers sound best backing up Allison Krauss. There is more to this CD then Blue Grass, lots of beautiful folk ballads. Yes, the fast songs reveal Blue Grass at its best & the slow ballads are a great antithesis. A rating of 4 for the male soloists, I may need a few spins of the CD to re-gear my mind for a rating of a 5. Good sound production with Allison Krauss in the left channel. Some write that they think the instruments over power the singers but I hear everything. Maybe it's their stereo set up.
+The first striking thing about this album is the sound itself. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately draws you in. The songs have much more breathing room and feel more laid back than they did on any previous EC album; there's no doubt that Emerick is responsible for this. He takes Costello's songs and gives them a life of their own while still allowing Costello and the band to work their magic. It's slick and more restrained with a gentle warmness that flows effortlessly through every song. "Beyond Belief" is another gem in a long line of great album openers and immediately the album's production sets in, giving the song a wide-open atmosphere while making it intimate at the same time. The poppy "Tears Before Time" immediately follows and gives keyboardist Steven Nieve a chance to shine with some unique sounds. This is really an album where he gets plenty of time in the spotlight, both on the keyboard and as a conductor and arranger for the various string arrangements sprinkled throughout the record. The soft accordion and piano melody of "The Long Honeymoon" is a perfect companion to Costello's lyrics, a story about a young wife who's waiting for her husband to call or come home, yet can't bring herself to actually pick up the phone and face the fear that he may be having an affair with her best friend. It's the kind of twisted tale only Elvis can weave so eloquently.

+McCartney also makes observations  about politics, goes on a little road trip with sex and romance. He also  examines the serenity of down home living. Is it a deep album? No, but that  wasn't its intention.  Here is a bit of trivia for those interested.  "Ram on" appears to be a throwaway title when, in fact, it refers  to the pseudonym Paul used  during the Beatles' early days--Paul Ramon. So,  the song is a very personal fragment written about his salvation--Linda. It  is every bit as infectious as "Oh Yoko" and any of John's other  love songs.  My only complaint--"Back seat of my car" is a great  song and the production is very good, but the orchestration is overkill.  This is where the tasteful string arranging skills of George Martin would  come in handy(I think Paul realized this himself when, in later years, he  repeatedly returned to Sir George for arrangments). Macca has taken a lot  of critical drubbing, but it's time for a critical reassessment of his  work. Yes, he recorded a lot of crap(WINGS AT THE SPEED OF  SOUND), but at his best he is virtually unmatched as a tunesmith. Oh, one  other thing--he's still a great rock'n' roll shouter.

+"Lodger" is possibly the only album re-issued by Rykodisk with  "bonus tracks" that work at the end of the album.  The second version of  "Look Back" is not necessary, but at nearly twice the length of the  original it is noticeably different.  "I Pray, Ole" is a worthy addition to  the album.  Unlike many Bowie albums, the last song on "Lodger" is not  clearly a "closer," so the extra songs fit reasonably well.  But they  aren't that important, so the current EMI reissue will suffice.

+Although I'm usually most partial to #3, "Fresh Aire II" comes in as a very close second (I was less impressed with 1 and 4).  The whole first side (I'm relating it to my old cassette) is all part of a theme of seven doors, each with different moods but similar tunes (my cassette didn't have any "liner notes" that usually explain the "story" of the music).  Side 2 starts off very melancholy, although the last two pick up a bit.  "Interlude V" is a beautiful piano number, while "Velvet Tear" is piano and strings.  It ends with a more optimistic sounding "Going to Another Place," which I think I remember hearing as the final encore the couple of times I saw them in concert.

It's unfair to characterize it as the odd man out, though. The songs have a strong inner logic and manage to follow coherent themes. The instrumentation is wonderful... some of the strongest and sparest rhythm work is here (thaks to Carlos Alomar). There is a beautiful old world feel that suggests the lonely atmosphere of travel in far-off places. 'African Night Flight', 'Red Sails' and 'Yassasin' all suggest this. There are also pop gems: 'DJ' and 'Boys Keep Swinging'. It might take a while to see the influence of this beautiful album... listen to the Au Pair's version of 'Repetition'.
+This CD from `The Right Stuff' has the original 12 tracks plus a bonus track of "Masters of War".  This album easily earns five-stars.

+And now the music....ah, the music....of coure it has Pretty Woman, Cryin', Dream Baby.

+5679	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album would probably be best known for the hit songs Let'Em In and Silly Love Songs(the latter apparently being the band's first disco song),which seem to be the only two of the album's songs that ever recieved radio play. However,the rest of the album is worth listening to. The other band members,including Paul's wife Linda,each have their fair share of songs that they themselves sing lead. Cook Of The House is sung by Linda. Must Do Something About It is beautifully sung by band member Joe English. My other favourite tracks are Beware My Love,San Ferry Anne and Warm And Beautiful(the latter is a beautiful song that ends the album).

There has tended to be a perception that if it couldn't be linked in some way to hip-hop sampling and such R&B/soul had no historical value since sampling seemed to be considered a major form of archiving for R&B's past. While that's a valuable concept,it left little room for the music to stand on it's own two feet. Sometimes there are individuals who transcend barriers like that completely. There was only one Ray Charles,one Sam Cooke,one Otis Redding,one James Brown and only one Jackie Wilson. Jackie's career not only shaped the future to come after him,but in another way entirely what's occurring in music in recent years. One of rhythm & blues's first bonnified showmen along with James Brown (and you could maybe consider Louie Jordan),Wilson was possessed of one of the most distinctive voices in the music-with a range and timbre seldom heard since this time. Not only that but his gospel inflected shouts and cries gave that vocal ability enormous emotional depth and ability to interpret melody of just about any sort the soul could offer. But at the same time music speaks for itself so I'll talk about that.
+Anyway, I happy  to see that a veteran musician from the 60s can still top the charts while  remaining true to his roots.  I tip my hat to you, Santana!
+I have to save a paragraph for the album's true highlight and one of the most devastating songs in EC's library: "Man Out of Time". What's really interesting is that the track both begins and ends with an earlier and rougher version of the song. These bookends take you by surprise because the final cut of the song is sandwiched in the middle and is far superior and much more polished. The pop melody is incredibly bright and catchy while the words paint a picture that could be as autobiographical as they are allegorical. The entire album should be heard from beginning to end but if you absolutely must hear only one track from the record it's this one, without a doubt.

With the legendary Slash on the lineup how bad could it be?  The result was a rather coarse sound that is very different from Guns'N'Roses.  Though not as good as G'N'R, Contraband is a decent rock album that is a lot better than some of the nu-metal of today and pulls of some decent tracks.  Though there are couple of songs that are fillers (i.e Headspace) it's a pretty good album pulling off hits like Slither and Fall To Pieces.  Along with these songs I also like Big Machine, Do It For The Kids, and Sucker Train Blues in particular.  Overall, a solid 13 track album that is worth the money.

Anyway, in my humble but all important and all knowing opinion, The Grand Wazoo (with its glorious 21 piece jazz orchestra) and Waka Jawaka simply represent the best of Zappa's material from the 70s. Ok, we can throw Roxy and Elsewhere and Bongo Fury in there as well.  Sure, Zappa had bands that sounded this good, most notably the Make A Jazz Noise Here band - but for some reason, this music just sounds more organic than that final touring band (which he regarded as his best band ever).  There are 5 tracks on Grand Wazoo and they are all great.  I have a  particular fondness for the title track and the closing track, Blessed Relief.  If you want to hear Zappa at his very best, you want The Grand Wazoo and Waka Jawaka.  'Nuff said.

I hadn't been able to find a copy of it on DVD, and when I checked here, I saw a used one at around $200. I ended up buying a copy on Ebay recently. The sound and audio is very good, and I paid $24.95. If you're looking for a DVD, that would be my recommendation. Anyway, I like this show even better than the 35th anniversary show filmed at Tsongas Arena. The ABWH tracks are all very good, and you only get "The Meeting" on Tsongas. Jon Anderson is in great voice, an amazing keyboard solo by Wakeman, and the final song, "Starship Trooper" is incredible even though it doesn't have the keyboard and guitar battle Wakeman and Howe provide on "Tsongas". Great individual performances at the start of the show wet your appetite for what is to come. Enjoy!!

This is a rich, artistic work that is worth listening to more than once, no, more  than twice! The song "Smooth" is a masterpiece, rich in it's  textures and lyrics. "Supernatural" is full, musical genius  unbound. Large strokes across a wide canvas of sound and energy, feeling  and mood. Santana shows what real guitar music is. In a year dominated by  Ricky Martin, "Livin' La Vida Loca" craze, it's nice to see good  artistic work like "Supernatural." This CD displays the true art  of the musician and his instrument. A masterpiece.

It features Zappa's "Flo and Eddie" comedy line-up, whereby  the jokes are more out there and in your face rather than contained in the  music itself.  This concert features the famous "Groupie  Routine", which shows the band acting out a scenario depicting life on  the road in the form of a mini-opera which dominates the majority of the  record.  Also featured here is the legendary "MudShark" story,  which will either amuse you or confuse you.  The music here rocks, but  isn't as polished as Zappa's other more technically superior bands'  performances.  The album highlight for me is a rousing version of the  Turtle's "Happy Together", incorporated as a finale to the  "Groupie Opera" string of songs.  So, if you're not easily  offended, time-travel back to June 1971, and make a stop at the Fillmore  East to witness a truly crazy performance from Zappa and these Mothers of  Invention.

The sound is thin, tinny actually.  I mean, I'd prefer a crisp sound over a muddy one!  But, really, this music is too good not to be updated.

Townshend was the consummate musician, songwriter, dreamer and a close second to Bob Dylan as the poet laureate of My Generation.  I picked up the vinyl version expecting a Who-like album, and, instead, got lots of acoutic guitar and some rather obtuse but beautiful lyrics.  No rumbling Keith Moon drums, just Pete keeping the beat, no sizzling bass from John Entwhistle, not many bass lines at all, and no opera-quality vocals from Roger Daltrey, just Pete's semi-falsetto, except for the fantastic duet by Pete and Ronnie Lane.  Evolution is my favorate cut, with Time Is Passing a close second.  The two numbers recorded by The Who are a lot less polished on this effort and, in my opinion, much better.  I loved it then and I still do.

Every song on this album is really good. Although "Parents" is considered the "hit" (and is, by the way, my personal favorite from this album), there is not one bomb in the group. One of the things I like about Budgie is their playfulness in the titles of many of their songs. One of their best titles (and my personal favorite title of all their songs on any of their albums) is "You're The Biggest Thing Since Powdered Milk". With bass player Burke Shelley's Geddy Lee-like vocals (and looks) and Tony Bourge's scathing guitar licks, along with great drummers like Pete Boot, Ray Phillips and Steve Williams, Budgie has a big underground following, but very little radio play or critical respect. I've got to give credit to bands like Metallica, Van Halen and a few others for giving Budgie a big, respectful nod by covering some of their songs. As a fan since their first album, I am grateful to MCA and Noteworthy Productions for their re-releasing all of their albums, most of which have extra songs and even a video. If you've never heard, or even heard of Budgie, pick any one of their albums and I'll bet good money that you'll buy more of them.

She is virtually un-matched in her quilting notes and prose into an experience one cannot forget. She and Cohen here are as to what Bogey and MaCall, or Veronica Lake could do with nothing but black and white film.  She Transcends her medium as a Pop/Opera virtuoso into something that your mind cannot easily let loose from.  Her distinctive voice brings to mind others with similar enchanting qualities: Joni Mithchell, Streisand, Celine, Warick, Ross, who 'move' their audiences, but very few have the versatility to range in intensity as a "West Side Story" similarly demands.  Jennifer may have others with similar talents,  but Jennifer seems to excel here with the different ranges which Cohen's music demands like few others would dare attempt.  'Raincoat' is a trek, a journey of love, pain, despair, triumph, and struggles but it makes you appreciate every emotion evoked by this tremendous Lady.

Although ALL of the concert was excellent, a nice surprise for me was watching "Awaken" performed "live"; Igor Khoroshev clearly demonstrated his ability by filling the stage with the presence of his various keyboards during this entire song. While it is true that stepping into the legendary shoes of Rick Wakeman is an impossible feat that virtually no one can approach, Mr. Khoroshev played all of the parts with exceptional ability.

Former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters & special guests performed a charity concert of the classic Floyd rock opera, "The Wall," at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, Germany, to celebrate the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. I just so happened to be in England at the time, and I watched the worldwide broadcast of this staggering rock concert on BBC TV that evening, and it left an impression on me that has never gone away. This phenomenal show was and IS the ultimate in rock theater, and has never been surpassed. Since I never got to see Pink Floyd perform "The Wall" live back in 1980, watching the Berlin concert more than made up for that. 13 years later, this landmark concert has finally been released on DVD at last, and it still holds up magnificently. Granted, Pink Floyd themselves had nothing to do with this concert, as Roger Waters was (and still is) not on good terms with his former bandmates, but Roger, the main composer of "The Wall," is in top form in this show, and he alligned himself that evening with some pretty huge names in music---Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, members of The Band, Bryan Adams, Sinead O'Connor, the Scorpions, Paul Carrack, James Galway, Ute Lemper, as well as 80's staples Cyndi Lauper & Thomas Dolby, and many more. Along with an orchestra & chorus conducted by Michael Kamen---as well as the Marching Band Of The Combined Soviet Forces---Roger & his own Bleeding Heart Band, including guitarists Rick DiFonzo & Snowy White, play this famous rock concept album superbly, and the vocal turns by Roger and all the guest vocalists are marvelous. The production values, including the mammoth Wall itself (reportedly measuring 550 feet wide and 82 feet high), the gargantuan inflatables of the Teacher and Pig characters, the colorful costumes, props, lighting effects, Gerald Scarfe animations and other provocative projections shown on the Wall itself are all absolutely astonishing. And when you see that mighty Wall come crashing down brick by brick at the concert's end, it is one of the most phenomenal sights you will ever see. "The Wall: Live In Berlin" is also outstanding in that it is probably the only concert ever staged that is actually *better* to watch on TV than if you had actually been there live. The camerawork throughout is amazing, and takes you places that the live audience couldn't go: into the specially-built living room in the high corner of the Wall as Roger sings "One Of My Turns" and "Don't Leave Me Now," behind the Wall as Paul Carrack sings "Hey You," and high atop the Wall as Difonzo & White do their awesome guitar solos on "Comfortably Numb."Admittedly, the video version of "The Wall: Live In Berlin" has a little bit of touch-up work done on it, or, what is affectionately known in the business as "cheating." The power went out early in the show during Ute Lemper's "The Thin Ice," Roger's "Another Brick In The Wall Part 1," and again during Sinead O'Connor's "Mother," so the performances you see of "The Thin Ice" & "Another Brick...Part 1" were actually shot several hours *after* the concert had ended, and "Mother" was taken from footage of the final rehearsal that was done the previous night (Roger's lack of sunglasses during these songs is the giveaway). Also, Ute's portrayal of The Wife during "The Trial" sequence was also shot *after* the concert, as the camera malfunctioned during her live performance. But it certainly goes without saying that these touch-up performances were absolutely necessary in order to present the show in it's entirety, and besides, they blend in with the genuine live performances very seamlessly. Following in the footsteps of Pete Townshend, who brought The Who's classic rock opera "Tommy" to the Broadway stage, Roger Waters has been working for many years on a "proper" theatrical staging of Pink Floyd's "The Wall." Whether or not "The Wall" ever makes it to Broadway still remains to be seen, but, at the very least, Roger successfully brought the live rendition of the album to the masses in this landmark concert, blessedly recorded for posterity to be enjoyed again and again. "The Wall: Live In Berlin" is one of the most sensational rock concerts ever staged, and is a must-own DVD for every fan of this legendary concept album. Thank you, Roger!
+The concert?  I was happy to have some fairly good, up close footage of the band playing (as always), though the additions of Billy and Igor didn't do too much for me.  They play well-enough, but just seemed a bit out of place.  Doesn't help that Igor became a bit infamous for his off-stage antics as well.  But all in all, I enjoyed seeing a slightly different delivery of the Yes material which, minus some the "Open Your Eyes" and "Ladder" tunes I fairly well like most of their catalog.

First, the film itself is probably rock'n'roll's greatest lost classic: originally only seen in the UK in 1972 and then given a brief VHS appearance in the early 90s, it's considered a Holy Grail for Bolan fans, containing as it does exhilirating footage of his career-capping Wembley performance with a great superstar jam w/Ringo and Elton John (including a scorching "Tutti Frutti" and vastly superior take on "Children Of The Revolution"), and the famous/infamous "Mad Hatter's Tea Party" sequence where Bolan plays elegant acoustic versions of his most sexually provacative songs to himself, Mickey Finn, Ringo and a group of nuns eating hamburgers at John Lennon's Ascot estate.  There's real fireworks here, as Bolan (who was at the absolute peak of his powers in the spring of '72 when all this was filmed) plays the rock-god icon to the hilt.  Indeed, this isn't just a "lost" classic but one of the best rock films period, and some recent reviewers have been moved to comment that the teen riot seen here makes arch-rival Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" film (admittedly a great film and performance in its own right) look like a wake.

+If purists want to nit pick on any aspect of the concert, I suppose the female back-up vocalists and additional drummer is a bit over the top, considering the studio albums of The Moody Blues were mastered without additional musicians. My guess is these artistes were included in the line up either for eye candy and/or sound dynamics. Whatever the reason, they neither enhance nor degrade the quality of the performance; The Moodies and the orchestra remain the dominant sound throughout the show.

Two Against Nature finds Donald Fagan & Walter Becker back on the music scene and in top form.  The album combines the usual Steely Dan traits of slickly produced songs with jazzy elements combined with wry and cynical lyrics.  The first single from the album is the bouncy "Cousin Dupree" which is by far the catchiest song ever written about incest.  The song belies the darker mood that permeates the album.  "What A Shame About Me" talks of personal failure and "Almost Gothic" has a feel of what could have been.  "Jack Of Speed" and "West Of Hollywood" both have smoky sounds and film noirish themes.  They are the two best songs on the album and they show that Steely Dan are amongst the finest crafters of songs in music.  Twenty years hasn't dampened or diluted their abilities.  Steely Dan makes timeless music and this album fits right in along side their other classics like Aja, Gaucho & Katy Lied.
+What remains is a collection of videos from my favorite recording artist ever.  The campy bootie-shaking in Faith - the boy in the tophat dancing around in Monkey - the noticeably absent pop singer in "Freedom 90" (one of my favorite songs by him) and the somewhat "out" George in "Jesus to a Child."  If you watch closely, you can see the pivotal turning point in which his music becomes more honest, more fresh, and less driven by the need/desire for commercial success.  Like Madonna and Michael Jackson, he is a master of video as an art form - often sacrificing self-promoting face time for the rest of the video-making process.  Thankfully, he ended his career woes and personal issues and jumped out in front of the camera again to be seen by fans.  Not included is one of his most controversial videos - Praying for Time, in which a dispute with then-label Columbia led him to refuse to appear in his videos, replacing himself with text on screen.  I wish they'd have included this video as well, as it was one of the most powerful (if unintentional) uses of words on screen to convey the power of the song's lyrics.

+7898	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Make no mistake, Hourglass recaptures the magic of America in it's prime, circa 1972-1976. Production is great, the songs are all top drawer and Gerry and Dewey never sounded better. Hourglass kicks off with a stellar "Young Moon" that sets the tone for a release that should have put the boys back on the charts.  The only question here:  The unnecessary and unimaginative remakes of the two oldies but at least they are performed very well.

+The "Holiday In Berlin" pieces are expertly arranged and manage to make off-key passages sound melodic, with beautifully integrated horns.
+If Springsteen's anti-Bush policies dissuade anyone from purchasing his music, please realize that he is anything but anti-American. Songs like "Born in the USA" show how he is proud to be an American, but unhappy with the way his current government is operating. He fervently struggles for what he considers a better America! And that's all you can ask.

+657	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Bruce Springsteen's 1984 achievement "Born in the USA" might have been more respected had two things that surrounded it been put aside; the clueless fans that packed stadium shows but had no idea what the album's message really was at the time, and the politicians who mistook it for an oppurtunity to tap into the hearts of the young voters. Also, many critics will label "Born in the USA" as one of those albums that proves a performer's best-seller is not always his best work artistically. All of that aside, "Born in the USA" is no doubt one of the most successful pop/rock influenced albums that actually has the purpose of making such a cynical, social statement.

+  Take for example "H.", perhaps my favourite song in the album. It's a truly beautiful ballad. This is not easy to appreciate after the agressive opening or chorus riff, but it is there; you just need to sit through it with the lyrics in hand. If it doesn't do something for you after a listen or two, nothing will. The same can be said of "Eulogy", "Jimmy" and many others.
+  Madonna actually recorded this song in 1984. It can be found on her LIKE A VIRGIN album. When that album came out, Madonna did not release it as a single. In 1995, she released SOMETHING TO REMEMBER, her greatest ballads compilation. This song appeared on there. She then decided to release it as a single. The video is not much because she was real busy shooting EVITA. So, she just did a simple video where she stayed in one place as the camera spent half of the song slowly zooming in on her and spent the last quarter of the song slowly zooming out.

+Eight new songs were recorded for the album. Most of them are originals but there is a great cover of Have you ever really loved a woman, written and originally recorded by Bryan Adams. Whether singing ballads or up-tempo-rockers, Paulette sounds as good as ever on the new recordings. The album opens with Where'd you get your cheating from, in which Paulette describes which characteristics a man got from each of his parents but wonders about his cheating. Among the other new songs, I particularly like Texas girl and the only new song that Paulette wrote for the album, She don't have the heart to love you.

+6989	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	These early '70s recordings capture two young members of Ralph Stanley's Clinch Mountain Boys just as they were about to go out on their own as vanguard members of the newgrass generation.  Both Whitley and Skaggs cut new roads in the '70s country renaissance, and in the next decade each also successfully moved into the world of commercial Top 40 Country.  But here they are, young and earnest as can be, singing pure, sweet bluegrass and playing with a magical melodic grace.  This album was originally a modest release, not entirely off the radar, and a welcome surprise for the bluegrass faithful, though not a blockbuster hit by a long shot.  Now, decades later, it's a wonderful document of two master musicians in their early years.  Plus, it's just enchanting -- great music performed with real feeling.  Thank goodness Rebel dusted this one off for modern listeners to check out again... it's highly recommended!

Yes, it was a truly landmark album. As one English journalist remarked on this video, "It wasn't jazz in the style of Blood, Sweat, and Tears or Chicago, and it wasn't fusion like Herbie Hancock, or Chick Corea, or (preeminently) Weather Report."

+9783	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Fascinating and unique album that topped Pitchfork's list of the greatest albums of the 70's.  I don't rate it quite that highly, but it remains Bowie's masterpiece, even as marked a departure from the sound, texture, and attitude of much of his earlier work.  Bowie shows a largeness of spirit in his ability to work with and through Brian Eno, and Eno shows that he is comfortable in a supporting role; the album could not have been made without Eno, but the credit belongs to Bowie.  The vocal tracks are uniformly strong, and two of them, the shimmering "Sound and Vision" and the warped, disembodied "Always Crashing in the Same Car" are truly classic.  The four instrumentals that close the record are various shades of Eastern block grey, all interesting, and influential for the likes of Nine Inch Nails.  The standout from this part of the record is the spooky "Warszawa", but the best instrumental track is the first, the propusive, driven "Speed of Life." In "Always Crashing in the Same Car," Bowie manages to get his whole being into a single phrase, the way he enunciates "the hotel garage" ("I was going round the hotel garage/ must have been touching close to 94/ Oh, but I'm always crashing/ in the same car") encompasses an entire existence--boredom and satiation, routine and acceptance, passivity and fame.  Awesome, awesome song.

It's an awesome song that even by itself highlights the talents and versatility of the group. Listen to the song.

+12. Policy Of Truth
+"Message To Harry Manback" is a weird tune of a man talking to a man called Harry Manback backed by an ambient guitar background from Adam Jones that serves as a weirdness to the band. "Hooker With A Penis" is a powerful hard-rock song filled by powerful drums from Danny Carey, brutal guitar charges from Adam Jones, and ferocious screams from Maynard James Keenan who can probably scream the hell out of such current divas like Mariah Carey (no relations to Tool's drummer), Christina Aguilera, and Jessica Simpson. That man is wreaked with awesomeness. The next track is a break in the middle of the album titled "Intermission" which features a weird circus-like organ sound that shows Tool's funny side. Pretty cool intermission. Next is the melodic-power of "jimmy" dominated by Chancellor's melodic bass-riffs, Carey's brilliant drum-power, Jones' guitar grooves, and Keenan's hypnotic vocals. "Die Eier Von Satan" (or in translation from German to English, "The Eggs/Balls of Satan"), is a weird industrial-like tune with distorted bass riffs and percussion sounds, hard-driven guitar hooks, and vocals by Marko Fox singing in German with Gudrun Fox translating in English.

Others have commented on the great audio and recording quality to this album, but I enjoy it more simply because the way that Warnes interprets these great songs of one of the greatest songwriters ever in Leonard Cohen.  And Warnes is the PERFECT person to do these songs as she has sung background vocals on many Cohen songs in the past (most of the "Various Positions" album and later on the "I'm Your Man" album for example), so she knows Cohen, IMO, as well as anybody and that includes other interpreters of his works like Judy Collins.  Her duet with Cohen on "Joan of Arc" is in a word, otherworldly.  It is really cool how Warnes sings the "Joan of Arc" parts while Cohen sings the "fire" parts.  Other highlights include the title track, "Bird on a Wire", "Came So Far From Beauty", and the new song that Cohen and Warnes wrote together, "Song of Bernadette".
+8263	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	I am a near-worshipper of Procol Harum, but that doesn't mean I will slavishly praise their every note. The hack reviewer should know that the band never matched the popular success of Whiter Shade of Pale because they  are not a top-40 band and that the chart success of that song in that  format could only have happened in the particular time period that it was  successful. That was when radio stations allowed more latitude in what a DJ  played. There are no DJs today, just monkeys pressing buttons, and Whiter  Shade of Pale would get no airplay at all if it did not fall into the  category of a "classic". That being said, I find this reunion  effort rather weak and disjointed but better than nothing. There are some  decent songs on the album but nothing that really stands out. I agree that  Brooker's voice is as strong as ever but disagree with the professional  reviewer who said that Robin Trower fits in well here while his solo  efforts are overblown. No one really fits in here. Though you have the  Procol Harum "sound", here that sound is identified mainly by  Brooker's voice and piano. The others could just as well have been studio  hirelings. I'd like to see them record another album together but hopefully  the material will be stronger should that come to pass.

+Falling out of love with Classic Rock sometime in the late 70's, I didn't listen to it much again until recently. Hearing it now, I enjoy "side" 2 much better than side 1, which puts me firmly in the minority of most Eagles fans. This may be due to my overexposure to the radio hits on side 1, but also because I love the Joe Walsh and Randy Meisner songs on side 2. They provide a nice break from Don Henley's singing, which is great but tends to produce "listener fatigue" when he handles too many of the lead vocals (and lest you think I'm not a Henley fan, "The Boys Of Summer" is one of my all-time favorite songs, period).

+I personally listen to the first 3 or 4 songs of the CD, then change disc's.  I really miss elements from her second album enough to make me continue to listen to it more than this latest release.

+943	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	VELVET REVOLVER'S CONTRABAND sounds like any other album put out by any other crappy alternative band out there right now.  Then again why wouldn't they?  Sure Slash, Duff and Matt from Guns N' Roses are back together- but you'd never know it.  Slash keeps his presence pretty hidden, none of his riffs or solos shine like they did when he was in GN'R. The band sounds like a cross between the Foo Fighters and one of the MANY Pearl Jam rip offs like Nickelback or Puddle of Mudd.  (note that those bands merely RIP OFF Pearl Jam.. they're nowhere nearly as good as them)

+With Earl Slick on guitar and David Sanborn on horns, Bowie takes us through his amazingly strong list of hits. Kicking it off with "1984", moving into a roaring version of "Rebel Rebel", Bowie doesn't give you a moment to catch your breath. Extended jams on "Aladdin Sane" and "All the Young Dudes" flesh out and add to the songs' original themes, pulling you into them and making you part of the show.

+Fragments of a Rainy Season is probably the easiest John Cale album to get into; it's an essential for Velvet Underground fans, and is an altogether beautiful and enjoyable album, as well as covering the cream of Cale's work as a solo artist better than any compilation could. Highly recommended, as well as the DVD recording.

Various artist performed the songs along with Roger Waters each lending their own touch of understanding to his lyrics. The sound is incredible with the added choir and orchestra unfolding the rock written songs into the beautiful melodies me and my friends could hear when listening to it many years ago. As we listened to the album it was obviously conceptual and it was shown here in all its beauty but still having that edge. All with relevance. Classic piece of work. I feel sorry for the audience having to sit thru the building of a wall that prevented them from seeing the musicians.

+Though it will sound like a few other notable Frank Zappa records, and though it will sound like a few other bands from the late sixties and early seventies, this is an album which all fans must experience. Whether you are a Zappa fan, a Jazz fan, a rock fan, or just a plain open-minded individual, this album is for you. It is weird, eerie, and strange, but it is also impressive, virtuous, and unique. If you already have Zappa's more accessible music such as Sheik Yerbouti and some of his Mothers of Invention work, this album is a must have. For all jazz fans looking to get energized and woken up, this is also another must-have album. If you are an appreciator of any work from Miles Davis, Billy Cobham, John McClaughin, or Tony Williams, this is an album to get.
+Just so you know, the "Alright" video on this VHS does not contain the rap break w/Heavy D; you can only get that version on the 'Rhythm Nation' compilation video, which I think is a great one to own as well since it contains interviews and other extras. Also, the "Miss U Much" on here is the shorter version w/out the brilliant dance sequence incorporating chairs. You'll have to get the 'Rhythm Nation Compilation' or the 30 minute short film that came out in 1989 to see it.
+9519	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I remember reading an interview in 1982 where Elvis Costello expressed his desire to have someone like Frank Sinatra cover his tunes (as opposed to Linda Ronstadt). Out of that urge came IMPERIAL BEDROOM, and it shows wonderfully. Whether Elvis Costello was simply maturing or just displaying a side of his songwriting talent that he had to suppress for so long, I couldn't say. But IMPERIAL BEDROOM was certainly an ambitious and far-reaching album. "Man Out of Time", "Shabby Doll" and "Beyond Belief" are incredibly brilliant compositions that, frankly, stunned me back in 1982. I couldn't get over the mix of sophistication and drama in these melodies. While I knew Costello was incredibly talented, I honestly didn't know he had such range.

+Another reviewer has mentioned the fine ensemble playing on these sessions. It's a real tribute to say that this final album is as warm and exciting to hear as any of Mr. Baker's best, and new fans -- as well as longtime listeners -- will find it worth hearing time and again. The 1988 Bruce Weber documentary, for which these performances were recorded, is scheduled to be released on DVD in 2007, but this collection (now out of print) stands on its own and needs to be re-released. It's worth tracking down.

+9449	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	The true test of good Costello is ... do you find the songs running  through your head hours later?  With this album, I find one whole side  buzzing in my head - the second.  (In CD land where there is no sides, this  means songs 8 and up).  "Pidgin English" has one line that slides  so gracefully over one held synthsizer note that it's unforgettable.  You'll know what I mean when you come to it.  Keeping the songs short, yet  substantial, Costello works as if he were writing for 78's, and the sound  resembles that somewhat.  Lots of piano.  Yet not really nostalgic either.  I don't find the first side as compelling, and yet "And In Every  Home" is so charming that it almost redeems it.  Timneless All in all,  this is the one Costello album with an infinite Sell By date.

+Here we have Rebel Rebel. One of Bowie's greatest radio friendly hits. It was his second biggest hit since "Space Oddity". Everyone has heard this song on the rock and roll stations, without a doubt (You'd know it if you heard it). This song is pretty much a rock anthem for falling in love with the bad girl. You want her, you need her, but she is such a bad ***. Intro guitar riff is quite possibly one of the best from the 70's. Great song to party to.

+7743	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Not a typical New Age album. I like the "woods" theme that runs throughout all of the tracks. There is also a nice fusion with classical music themes and generous use of more "standard" instruments like violins, oboes and flutes and less emphasis on such typical New Age mainstays like drum machines and things with names like "Moog." Even where there is synthesizers, etc. it tends to be sound very natural and playful (not overdone and depressing a la Tangerine Dream). Besides, I can't help but like the fact that the liner notes contain an acknowledgement to a cricket (named Claudette) who sat in on a session and who displayed "impeccable rhythm and incredible control of dynamics." Unfortunately, the cricket is no longer with the band - which may be why this is the only "Fresh Aire" CD I have.

+The first and the last track are do-wop, 50's style songs, like the MOthers had played on earlier albums.  The rest is stunning instrumentals.  Every instrumental track is simply fantastic.

+Some tracks remind me of Steely Dan hits from the past. In "Gaslighting Abbie" I hear a little bit of "FM", and echoes of "Hey Nineteen" show up in "What A Shame About Me". "Almost Gothic" has the lush smoothness of "Deacon Blues". Other tracks have their own identity. "Two Against Nature" features a dynamic, percolating beat and an equally active bass line. "Cousin Dupree" has a good beat too, strong and driving. "Jack Of Speed" and "Negative Girl" are a bit mellow, more exploratory and less structured. The last track, "West Of Hollywood", is a fugue of 8:21, busy, all over the place. It synthesizes Steely Dan's stylistic elements, as the final movement of a symphony would synthesize what came before.

It's easy enough to digest, satisfying enough to fill you up, and tasty enough to keep you coming back for more. The songs here all reach classic status, and some are even radio-friendly (Oh No! I don't believe it....).  The performances here are all tight and energetic, yet not too complex so as not to lose the average rock consumer.  Most - no, all tracks feature Zappa's usual wry and rewarding humour, and some border on the smutty.  If you're turned on by songs about canine gratification, bets concerning sexual prowess and dental floss farms, then you're the type of twisted candidate who qualifies for enjoyment of such bizarre and wonderous musical oddities.

Weasels is full of abrupt transitions that almost rip you apart when listening. Free jazz, Musique Concrete, raunchy blues, interesting, provocative orchestral music, short live, "lewd" outbursts, this record just keeps moving at a quick, almost taxing pace, which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5: Unlike such recordings as Hot Rats, Grand Wazoo, Overnight Sensation, Burnt Weeny Sandwich (and several others) Weasels isn't particularly cohesive in terms of sound and concept and not always so "listenable" - it's one of those records that you just have to be in the right mood to appreciate.
+Overall, wow.  Zappa never really released anything like this after its release, which is unfortunate.  However, a unique album of many different sounds and styles all combined in such a highly creative way is really hard to replicate when you think about it.

+Despite being docked one star for its pointless re-mix of the #1 hit "Fame," this Bowie hits collection remains the best career-spanning, one-disc retrospective of his career. Taken together, Bowie's stylistic ch-ch-ch-ch-changes form a template of 70s rock; "Rebel Rebel," "Suffragette City," and "Jean Genie" constantly shift and evolve while never edging closer to the listener. Even after nearly 30 years they remain cool, strange; lyrics vaguely out of reach with music updating the hybrid British soul ("Fashion," "Golden Years"), British blues ("Ziggy Stardust"), British music hall. Few other than Bowie could  kidnap American music styles to match such free-flowing lyric imagery. Even with the personal, painful vignettes of "Young Americans," this remains among the least sensitive, least intimate music any solo performer has ever made (at least until Nile Rodgers comparatively warm but trademark style on 1983's huge hits "Let's Dance" and "China Girl.")

+955	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Maybe this will sink in months down the road, but somehow with Scott Weiland and Slash together.. I was expecting something pretty close to absolute perfection with Velvet Revolver. This disc has not left my car in the first week of owning it... and from the first spin to the 20th spin, it has really grown on me. Maybe expectations were to high here upon release... I mean, what's it say when the local hard-rock radio station has been enjoying the album for weeks prior to it's release and even the DJ's say that the album has to be spun repeatedly before you'll like it and appreciate the genius going on. "Contraband" sounds like updated Stone Temple Pilots more than anything else. Outside of a few choice "G'N R" guitar licks you won't find much here that even resembles the Guns 'N Roses of old. Weiland's material with the STP's is/was fantastic and I've loved his work (despite his very public dependency problems) with the STP's since I first heard "Core" in 1992. "Core" blew me away back then and it's still one of my favorite rock albums today. While the songs from "Contraband" are hard and some downright crunchy, you'll find a few songs lack that "bite" that might grab you the first time you listen to a song and say, "Whoa... that was awesome". A few slower tunes in "Fall To Pieces" and "You Got No Right" are good, but the band is truly better playing the songs that it's members are known for - ROCK & ROLL - like "Sucker Train Blues", "Big Machine", "Superhuman" and their first hit "Slither" which is easily the best song on the disc. Too bad "Slither" is way down on track 11 and a long wait coming should you decide to listen to the entire album as a whole. Overall "Contraband" is a very good album... a tad slick and overproduced giving you that muddy distorted sound on some songs (were they intentionally doing this?), and somehow you're left with the feeling that there was huge potential here with an all-star line up... but, ultimately a few less than stellar songs make "Contraband" fall just a tad short of rock & roll perfection. Here's to HOPE - that the members of Velvet Revolver will stick together and write more music together. Give this CD some time... with repeated spins, I guarantee it will grow on you.

+Volume 6 comes from a wide variety of bands from the early seventies through the eighties.  There are some tracks from bands that haven't been represented before, such as the Belew and Becker bands.  But, there are only a few of those tracks and they are mostly short.

Inspite of having only the one hit, don't stop there if you haven't heard their album which is included on this CD and other really great obscure cuts. The group in some ways sounds a little like the Hollies in some cases. If you like good rare early 70s obscure R&R and/or just like Rare good overlooked music, I definitely recommend the Buoys recordings and later recordings under the name Dakota.
+Rhino is apparently reissuing Elvis' entire recorded output (unlike Rykodisc, he's not just reissuing the Columbia years), and releasing them three at a time roughly twice a year (in no discernible order, it seems). The best thing about Rhino's project is that every release is a two-disc package, with all the bonus material on disc two. This makes for quite a lot of bonus material.

Anyways, this album represents an interesting scenario, since Mo Dee is old-old school (starting in the late 70's with The Treacherous Three), and this his third solo album, in which the world of Hiphop had changed drastically beforehand in '87,'88, and '89. So it's interesting to see if he's still relevant in those changed times.

+ The 1st 2 songs on Diamond Dogs is recorded live, which is pretty cool(Godd**nit! I want that live album of his!!!), the rest is just the record itself(which is fine). So, maybe Hunky Dory is better, I do own it, and would probably agree with anyone saying that it was Bowie's best. I own a lot of his albums and find all of them to wither be great or good. There's a real edgy feeling through Diamond Dogs...I can't explain it, but there just is. Diamond Dogs seems to be a a bit of a roller coaster of emotions. One song is kind of depressing and mellow, but the next is fast and upbeat, while still retaining that edge. Whatever, I disagree with everyone who says this is far from Dave's best, IT IS. Buy it as fast as you can.

+By now, most are familiar with the opening track, Tiny Dancer.  Beautiful piano and a melodic falseto set the tone for this, my favorite Elton John tune (and I have many!).  Levon and the title track are also two huge standouts of this album.  This is less a collection of singles with filler as E.J. has been accused of creating later in his career.  Taken as a whole, this album is simply a masterpiece.

Granted, its not really anything terribly special music wise. But the lyrics are meaningful, sarcastic, and political, and they pull it off well. Anyway, I love 'Apparently I'm a PC Fascist' 'I was a pre-teen McCarthyest' 'Anchorless' and 'Gifts.' The Shell oil thing is funny, and its cool to hear an excerpt from Noam Chomsky. Also, if you like anchorless and gifts check out the Weakerthans, which is the emo type band from the guy that left Propagandhi... good stuff. Also, check out anything from Propagandhi's awesome label, G7 Welcoming Comittee records, like Malefaction, Swallowing St, Rythym Activism, etc. Don't except terribly unique punk rock on this album, just a fun, very political, intwlligent kind of poppy- kind of hardcore punk rock album.

+6709	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	1.0	This has two pretty good tracks - 'New Kid in Town' and 'Life In The Fast Lane'; and one track, the title track, that has interesting lyrics, but is spoiled by the limp reggae beat. (Check out 'Watching the Detectives' by Elvis Costello and 'Police and Thieves' by The Clash for a more productive use of reggae -artists who understood the genre.) The rest of the album is bland, disposable, certainly forgettable, soft rock. Hip-easy listening at it's worst.

+The highlights are the intense rock tracks - at times, the drumming and the guitar-playing try to stab each other in the back as they jostle for prominence. Some slower tracks vary the pace (notably Loving The Alien), though they are catchy, straight-forward rock ballads in their own right here they stand awkwardly beside all that cranial pounding.

Sadly, so did Luther, and that's why he's no longer with us.
+However, the modern is balanced by the simple and classic.  For example, "Veni Veni" is a Latin chant version of "O Come Emmanael", done in a cappella vocals with chiming bells for accents -- absolutely beautiful!

When I first got this album during the summer, I listened to only it, and mainly because I think its extremely kick ass.

+3586	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about this album when I heard about all the guest spots by so many pop stars.  Projects of this nature  are often time highly masturbatory exercises by overindulgent artists.  They try to sell you on the fact that so many name players appear rather  than on the music itself.  I had suspicions that this could be such a  project. That being said, I was still curious about what Carlos was up to.  He has always been one of my very favorite guitarists.  I figured that it  could not possibly be all bad.  I began to hear rave reviews from a number  of friends that got the disc and then I heard material on the radio and on  the music tv channels.  I was blown away!  This was some extraordinary  music.  This is the best work Carlos has done in years!  All my cynicism  melted away quickly.  This may well be the best album released in 1999.  This is one of the best albums of the decade!  I would like to recommend  specific tracks like Love of my Life with Dave Mathews or The Calling with  Eric Clapton but the reality is that this whole album smokes from start to  finish.  There is not a weak cut on it.  This is the Santana album we were  all waiting for for years and it was well worth the wait.  This ranks right  up there with his classic albums from the late sixties and early seventies.  The British used to write Clapton is God! on bathroom walls in the  sixties.  Allow me to make a correction:  Carlos Santana es Dios!  I  foresee a problem with my disc player:  I may not be able to take this disc  out of it!
+The Who were unquestionably one of the very greatest live bands in the history of rock, and this disc will go a long ways towards reminding their fans of this fact and of illustrating that fact for younger viewers who may have missed them at their peak.

+The portion for `The Star Spangled Banner' which opened up their performance of `Bullet the Blue Sky' actually happens to be the very same Jimi Hendrix rendition that appeared in WOODSTOCK - quite a bit of a feat that's not different from what peeved George Harrison regarding the band in filming their video for `Where The Streets Have No Name' on top of a roof, as its been done before; in this case Hendrix's performance of the American anthem's been used on the opening for Neil Young's great concert movie RUST NEVER SLEEPS. The movie, although containing a number of tracks that appeared as well from its lp companion did have some of those tracks as different versions to those that appeared in the album- such as `Angel of Harlem', `Love Rescue Me' and ` Desire', which are live studio sessions, that on the latter the band lengthened the refrain of the song stamping some pun about traveling-preachers (which also went as the same case from a line on the narration portions of their performance for `Bullet the Blue Sky'); and the full live rendition of `I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' (which is on the album) only appeared here as a segment, wherein the song is being practiced by the band with the gospel choir on a small community chapel (with tolerant looks on the faces of the Christian choir- perhaps seeing that there's no real Christian message in the song).

+9925	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	I just got around getting this title and it was a bit different from my vinyl version which is shorter of course due to time permitted & this CD version has more recent added tracks. Also it switched the original version of "Fame" with the 90's remix used in the film "Pretty Woman". It is actually still a good CD to listen to considering this was one of his earliest "Best Of" collections. Sure there are other compilations now that make this title rather obsolete but all in all still contains his main collection of hits. If memory serves he put it out on vinyl as "Changesonebowie" & another release called  "Changestwobowie". Nevertheless, a nice title that if you look good a nice price for this one can be found. I recommend it for the general fan because I have all the other collections "Best Of" series by him already & wanted to add this title to my collection. RIP David & thanks for the great music.

I am a musician and I've played almost every one of these songs for over 20 years, I can play them in my sleep. Yes, I immediately noticed some spots where what John was playing or singing did not match the video. But they were very few and far between. It didn't "ruin it" for me. They taped two shows and got the best takes from both shows and mixed them together. Other people do this also.  I noticed the same thing with Steely Dan's "Two Against Nature" DVD (still a great DVD as well). You can't fault them for wanting to put out a product with no flaws. You think any band is going to film ONE SHOW, mistakes and all, and release it on DVD? Come on. Heck, John even says at the first of the show, "if you hear any mistakes act like it's the greatest thing you ever heard and I'll just do like all  these other wise guys and go back in the studio and fix it". At least he's honest! I thought they did a pretty darn good editing job overall.  If you can't sit back and enjoy this show for what it is, a killer concert by one of rock & roll's all time greats, then I feel sorry for you brother.  I hope I can still rock like that when I'm 53 years old!

For some unknown reason I had  passed this disc  up thinking it was the CD by the same name. How dumb or more wrong could I be. This is the goods and ata bargain price. A treasure chest  of Marley videos that features thirteen of is best songs awaits the reggae music fan. The color reproduction and sound quality is nothing short of outstanding. Play this disc on your home system for a truly incredible experience. Besides the great music videos you also get the documentary "Time Will Tell" in splendid sight and sound. I have the original on old school vhs (remember those antiquated vcr's?) and it had more than it's share of play but by comparison the dvd quality is so much better. Crank it up on your home system or even on your computer, assuming you have a good set of speakers and sub woofer, and you are in for a real treat. The rasta man will blow you away. The footage in the documentary is excellent and features original Wailers members Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston in rare form. See Bob Marley playing soccer, getting philosopical on avariety of topics in his interview and sadly see him deteriorating before your eyes in his final days in physical presence but seem  even stronger in human spirit. He was a man that only passes this way  not very often.  An additional highlight of this great deal is the ability to create a playlist from the videos for whenever you are in the mood for some Bob Marley. This playlist can be changed whenever or songss skipped as you  like. I find this feature very cool as I keep this disc in the five disc rotation on the dvd player always ready. This way while viewing and pausing a different movie for the popcorn break or whatever a little music can lighten up your soul . There are many highlights on this disc but one is definitely the accoustic version solo of "Redemption Song" that is one heart wrenching performance. Check the charismatic Honorable Robert Nesta Marley O.M. and witness the natural mystic on tour, in interviews and in videos perpetuating his legacy and legend. Highly  recommended.

Their writing draws from memories of youth, experiences as adults and parents, and collisions with mortality.  Their harmonies are complex, buoyant or delicate, and backed with quirky arrangements, often featuring strings or liberal use of the accordion, not exactly a front line pop music instrument north of the Rio Grande.  The best songs here are Heartbeats (more prominently recorded by Linda Ronstadt), Love Is (covered by Emmylou Harris), I Eat Dinner, and, my personal favorite since our last child just moved out of the house, I'm Losing You.

+I feel that I am first and foremost an artist, and that I am therefore apolitical in the sense of party politics. Art and artists exist to create love, not hate; to unite, not to divide. Ultimately there is only one dividing line I recognize: that between good and bad art. However, while the dividing line between Jews and non-Jews is being drawn with a downright merciless theoretical precision, that other dividing line, the one which in the long run is so important for our music life, yes, the decisive dividing line between good and bad, seems to have far too little significance attributed to it. Musical activity today, already weakened by the World crisis, the radio, etc., cannot tolerate any more experiments. Music cannot be made contingent in the same way as other essentials such as potatoes and bread. If concerts offer nothing then people will not attend; that is why the QUALITY is not just an idea: it is of vital importance. If the fight against Judaism concentrates on those artists who are themselves rootless and destructive and who seek to succeed in kitsch, sterile virtuosity and the like, then it is quite acceptable; the fight against these people and the attitude they embody (as, unfortunately, do many non-Jews) cannot be pursued thoroughly or systematically enough. If, however, this campaign is also directed at truly great artists, then it ceases to be in the interests of Germany's cultural life [...] It must therefore be stated that men such as Walter, Klemperer, Reinhardt etc. must be allowed to exercise their talents in Germany in the future as well, in exactly the same way as Kreisler, Huberman, Schnabel and other great instrumentalists of the jewish race. It is only just that we Germans should bear in mind that in the past we had Joseph Joachim one of the greatest violinists and teachers in the German classical tradition, and in Mendelssohn even a great German composer - for Mendelssohn is a part of Germany's musical history".[8]

This is not Antonio Carlos Jobim type breezy, wonderful jazz.  But more passionate.  Lins married a famous Brazillian beauty and she broke his heart!  He turned to song writing and became a respected and popular musician.  Here, he collaborates with Dave Grusin, Lee Ritenour and their regulars like harvey Mason, Don Grusin(Dave's Brother) etc.  Digitally recorded and mastered at Dave's GRP studio, it sounds good, off course, like ALL GRP recordings.  Early AM attitude is the most popular track on this disc.  Composed by Grusin, you might have heard it before on radio etc.  But the Entire disc is excellant.  Ritenour also wrote a few tarck. Lins wrote 3 and sings as well(in Brazillian, though he does sing in English in his subsequent albums). This CD is worth every penny and is a MUST have!

+Stange start to the Bowie classics Diamond Dogs, Future Legends speaks of apocalypse and genocide and a nod in the direction of Orwell's 1984.  Welll, who could do a concept album like David Bowie?  No one.  Now the tracks don't exactly follow any predetermined path and the message gets a little garbled, but WTF?  It's still Bowie around the height of his song-writing powers.  Diamond Dogs is not Ziggy Stardust but it is a step up from Aladin Sane.  The glam rocker is in full flight here.  Standounts are the title track, Rebel Rebel, Sweet Thing, Canidate & my personal favorite 1984.  Tight album with very few blemishes.  This is classic Bowie.

+With former DGQ members Darol Anger, Mike Marshall, and Rob Wasserman providing the rhythm section this album reflects what I believe to have been the glory days of the Grisman legacy.  Displaying Grisman's unique musical diversity, ingenius arrangements, and mandolin virtuosity with this all-star lineup, ACOUSTIC CHRISTMAS is a Christmas album in a class of its own.  It actually makes a musical statement apart from the context of it being a holiday album.  This is a must buy for fans of Grisman, jazz, bluegrass, or Christmas music in general.

Leontyne Price's nearly perfect vibrato is on display in a well done O patria mia and the great Wunderlich delivers a great performance of Tamino's aria.

+While it is common for American pop (and country) songs to refer to specific locations, it is much less common for British pop songs to do so. It therefore comes a surprise to find that three of this group's four hits are about specific locations. Fans of the group should have no difficulty finding Winchester Cathedral between London and Southampton. Finchley Central is a London Underground station that can easily be reached from Baker Street (of Gerry Rafferty fame - perhaps the most famous location-based British pop song). Green Street Green is near Orpington to the south east of London.

+Apart from the cellos, violas and the like, Wheels of Fire is a guitar album. From White Room to Deserted Cities of the Heart, Claptons guitar dominates: multitracked soloing on the bridge of Politician, Chicago-style blues on Sitting on Top of the World and Born Under a Bad Sign, fleeting solos  on Those Were the Days and Deserted Cities of the Heart and infectious wah-wahing on White Room.  And it continues unabated on Side One of Live of the Fillmore with Crossroads and Spoonful.  And the aforementioned cellos and violas?  On White Room violas are employed to complement Claptons descending guitar chords that open and close the song, and on Deserted Cities viola and cello serve as quiet interludes in what is a frenzied rock anthem.  Rounding out the album are Bakers quirky Passing the Time (featuring glockenspiel and calliope) and the equally quirky Pressed Rat and Warthog (with Pappalaradi on trumpet) and Bruces exquisite As You Said, with Bruce on acoustic guitar, cello and vocal.
+On this video collection, most (but not all) of Madonna's  videos produced in the past decade are included for everyone's viewing  pleasure.

+Additional Info:
+Little seems to be known about the true character of G.G. Allin and this film does little to enlighten us, but I don't quite consider that a fault. I don't think anyone, let alone Allin, had a concept of who he was. Being neither a fan nor a hater, I was entranced by this documentary but I'm still unable to come to a conclusion about G.G. Allin. Was he an insane, vile human being (as many think) or a symbol of the animalistic nature that exists in all humans? People seem to be drawn on this as I am, but I find it hard to deny Allin had some mental issues. Maybe Allin (and others) saw his antics as representing something important, but how do you justify eating your own feces in front of an audience? Not just that, but smearing it on yourself and throwing it into the crowd?
+Supergroups these days don't live up to their expectations but 'Contraband' surpassed all of mine.  Weiland has a sort of aura about him that makes him irresistable - he has the type of voice that can sing practically any type of song, whether it be hard rocking straight in your face rock or calming, acoustic ballad types, he pulls it all off.
+All the subtance you could ever need is just under the surface on Two Against Nature. Like the Beatles, Beach Boys or those old Phil Spector singles, the genius is inside the music, like a subtle little secret. Listen for it. Listen to this sweet soul music all night long.

+The cd opens with "WPLJ," a catchy doo-wop style tune that I just love. It was a stroke of genius to feature two guys speaking Spanish at the end of the song (You'll see what I mean when you hear it). "Aybe Sea" is another highlight. The overlapping guitars and piano are truly euphoric, not to mention the opening melody. At almost twenty minutes long, "The Little House I used to Live In" could be an album all its own. Sugarcane Harris's violin solo is absolutely amazing. My favorite song, however, is "Holiday in Berlin, Full Blown." This song exhilerates me in a way that no other song can. Frank Zappa is a genius for composing something so beautiful. You just have to hear it to know what I'm rambling about.

This is a group of muscians who simply get better and better with age.  The opening number, "The Bridge," brings all the pieces together for a stunning beginning, with the impeccable rhythym section of John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, the incredible guitar playing of Lindsay Buckingham (just watch him pluck the notes from his guitar, why the man is not mentioned in lists of guitar greats is a mystery to me), and the harmonizing of Christine Mcvie, Stevie Nick, and Buckingham.

+From the stunning opening track "Whiskey Train" with Trower's scortching guitar work (producer Chris Thomas relates a storya bout how Trower complained that his guitar wasn't high enough up in the mix and Thomas told Trower that it was recorded live to two track because the band had told him they were working on a budget. After that ALL the tracks were recorded to eight track to give them more flexibility in the mix). Brooker's vocals are powerful throughout particularly on songs such as the extended workout "Whaling Stories" and "About to Die". Producer Chris Thomas emphasizes the stunning ensemble instrumental work of the band (which is even more prominent on the two "raw" tracks--"Whaling Stories" is from a tape saved by Brooker showing the development of the song in process while "Still There's Be More" stripped of vocals shows how tight their playing could be).

+The first three  tracks pave the way, with "Cross of Thorns" being my favorite--I  can actually sing that one.  "Immaculate Deception" and  "Dying for Love" are sister songs that rock from beginning to  end.  The latter is a power ballad of mammoth proportions, rivaling the  strength and majesty of "Born Again."  Of the final three songs,  "Hand that Rocks the Cradle" is the best--it is sadly the only  single from the album, with an original arrangement a bruising rhythm.  "Evil Eye" seems somewhat out of place, but since Eddie Van Halen  had a hand in its writing, of course it would.
+This latest is excellent. The music has almost a minimalist sound to it.  "Minimalist" jazz? Well sort of.

Nothing is as obvious or as immediately "catchy" as their earlier material, but it's well worth the time investment to let this stuff "grow on you". Musically each number is a finely crafted work with tight brass arrangements, some finely understated guitar work from Becker, driving bass and drums, and complex jazz progressions that just carry you along.
+2340	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Pulse is a phenomenal experience of the penultimate Pink Floyd concert.  The first disk visits different musical excursions of their past beginning with a tribute to Syd Barrett (RIP), one of their founders and the creative genius at their start.  Shine On You Crazy Diamond begins with Richard Wright's (RIP) keyboard intro that blends seamlessly into David Gilmour's guitar intro.  Then come four notes of transcendence from David and away we go.

+Bass players should take special note of Jack Bruce's playing.  Again, although there are people today that have more technical proficieny on the bass, I doubt seriously wether anyone could improvise like he did on some of Cream's live material like "Spoonful", Sweet Wine", etc.  There is more to playing than just a lot of fancy technique and Jack shows what that something is.

+Listen to the lyrics closely before playing this around your parents.  You may be through this disc a coupla times before realizing what a "groove" is.  Snicker.
+The sound, the sound, the sound.... I never thought I would hear the strings this clearly. In some songs, I could clearly tell that it is maybe two or four violins, 2 cellos, 2 violas, and 2 bass. And the old sound, would have me believe it were an entire orchestra --- "reverb" can be a wonderfully useful effect. As you may expect, Elton and his piano are anchored in the center channel, and they are both very crisp and clear. The backing vocals are often in the rear channels, as are the orchestra. The guitars, acoustic and electric, are so clear and isolated, that I am finally getting a great appreciation of the size of his band. Percussion like bongo drums, and tambourines, and synthesizer effects are clearer than ever and very realistic. The duelling banjos in HOLIDAY INN have NEVER sounded so good. I could keep going on with superlatives, but I will simply say that the sound is better than most modern rock SACDs (the Bon Jovi ones, for instance, and also 3 Doors Down). There is NO harsh tape hiss to be heard, it's just the music. The subwoofer channel is very tastefully subtle, and you will barely notice it's supportive effects (unless you turn it up!).

I will admit it's not their favorite CD, but they enjoy it and will sing along with some of the songs. Woody is truly a classic in music and well worth introducing children to and well worth revisiting as an adult.

+1115	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Between the Rolling Stones and the Animals I don't know who was more blues as far as the British Invasion groups. Well, to tell the truth after listening to this collection 20 or so times I'd say the Animals were THE British blues band of the 60's. Of course like all things early 60's, as the decade progressed so did the psychedelic movement influence everything. The Animals (in whatever formation) led by Eric Burdon, did it just right. Monterey, Warm San Francisco Night, and Sky Pilot were all relevant in the second half of the 60's. Nothing better pays  tribute to the Monterey Pop Festval than the song "Monterey". I love this disc, and I suspect I'll listen to it many more times.
+A tremendous, visionary album and an important piece of rock history--though it's not anything but dead and gone.  Depending on my mood, it's the best of Bowie, but then I've also gone nuts in my time over "Pin-Ups," and "Aladdin Sane," and "Hunky-Dory," and "Heroes" and "Low"--and--and--

+But "Lather" (or "Leather," depending) is one of those gems  that nobody thought would ever see a proper release. It was played once in its entirety on a Los Angeles radio station (before the days of the snotty, wussy, fascist FCC's retarded tactics), and only existed as a bootleg, until the folks at UMRK unearthed it, and gave it its due. And despite some minor changes, it's all here, for all to experience the way it was meant to be.
+Highlights of the record include 'Do It For The Kids' - listen to the introduction, 'Big Machine', 'Set Me Free', 'You Got No Right' and 'Loving the Alien'.  This is a great rock album.  I wouldn't say this is one of the best albums I've heard but it's definitely one of the best I've heard in a while and I would recommend it to all.  It's great for the car or just rocking out.

+8880	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album comes out of my collection and onto my CD player or iPod playlist every few years, and it never disappoints.  Of the three early-70s primarily instrumental albums, "The Grand Wazoo" features the biggest band and perhaps the most relaxed sound.  Unlike other Zappa albums, this one is almost gimmick-free.  Everything you hear on it seems to have been put there purely for musical value.  The one song with lyrics, "For Calvin" does have some distorted and exaggerated vocal stylings, but as is sometimes the case with Zappa, they work beautifully here.  Elsewhere, you'll hear some fantastic guitar work from Zappa, incredible electric piano work from George Duke, lots of fabulous horns especially Sal Marquez on trumpet.  There is a merry sense of humor throughout much of this record, but there's a rare, for Zappa, lightness about it.  No rants, no Brechtian confrontations, no strained nods to Varese -- just purely original, enjoyable music.

Skillet is still firmly in the rock arena here, but the sound is so much more slick and produced than what we had in Collide.  The guitars are not nearly as driving or out in front.  And that's an alright change.  John's also moved back from the screaming that, at times, threatened to overwhelm Collide.

I'm not as familiar with Zappa as much as Humble Pie or Black Sabbath for example, but as a guitar player I have always respected Zappa as a musician and composer. Also the musicians who have played in his bands through the years have proven to be quite good. That said, the biggest thing I took away from this lbum was his open criticism of American society and one other thing. The lbum is so damn funny or at least I found it to be so. I found myself laughing from the 1st track to the last. I think sometimes people take his music and life itself too seriously. If this is a comercial lbum then so be it, although I've never Heard any songs from this lbum on top 40 stations as far as I can remember. To me it's a great lbum, maybe not his best I don't know but boy is it funny.
+Along the way, we're treated to some excellent video footage. Sure, many of the backing musicians' attire and hairstyles date them very badly (the saxophonist's mullet, for example), but at least the director has the good sense not to have unneccessary jump cuts or distracting audience shots at the worst possible moments. We also get to see many of the visuals that Floyd projected as part of the show, and without a doubt the three female backup singers are easy on the eyes. For what it's worth, David Gilmour himself was probably at his most handsome. There's also the famous flying pig, along with some vintage Floydian animation.

+The plot is under-developed, allowing the listeners to bring in their own meanings. And Bowie's (over)use of Burroughs' cut-up technique leaves the songs feeling somewhat fragmented and incongruous in places. Despite this however, "Diamond Dogs" is a very enjoyable record.

He didn't want money for the work, only their autographs/photos. Little did he know that (a) not only was it not Mick Jagger and the Stones he was talking to, but (b) the tall, quiet young Englishman in question, complete with guitar, was none other than Nicholas Drake, who would become increasingly famous in his own right as the years went on). Also hinting at these sunny travels is the haunting and pretty "Strange Meeting II." Finally, there is a somewhat down-hearted cover of Robin Frederick's "Been Smoking Too Long."

Something about killing a "yellow man" in a foreign land. Hey, he's the Boss! USA! USA!
+This is pretty much epitomal of Tool.  They're a heavy metal band - heavier than most, even, given their focus on bass guitar and drums - but they're also perfectionist composers.

"Big Chicken"  is about  the demon alcohol while "What  Are We Doing Here",  was based on an incident in Canada when again the member's of The Who were hassled for the length of their hair (John was in a suit, and never dressed like stinkin' hippy). The mix on this one is a bit different than on the original release. "What Kind Of People Are They?" has a super horn section supplied by John.

+Either way, if they have more hard rock or more soft rock on their next album, I'll be listening. This is one of the most impressive, refreshing and important albums released in decades - it's not as influential as Appetite for Destruction for obvious reasons (after all, it's comprised of "power players" as Amazon says - famous ex-band-mates who are already extremely famous and as a result the album seems a bit more commercial than, say, an independent breakthrough like Destruction).
+"Aybe Sea" (pronounced A-B-C) is a marvelous re-creation of a sea-shanty (old songs that were sung while on-board ships) that starts out quite happily and then concludes with a chilling piano solo that will put goose bumps on the arms of anyone who listens to it.

A year later, when they returned to the Troubadour, he had "Fire and Rain" and she had "Tapestry" and they had mutual, powerful magic.

I played the record for my 17 year old daughter who is a Skynyrd fan and the first comment from her was it's weird and I agree. The vocal effects are done to much and the lyrical content is just weird. I don't know if it is to much John 5 influence or the alternative influence from the producer, it is just a weird record.

The other videos are either perfect, or almost perfect, and enough to give 10/10. My favourite videos are "Bad Girl", which is excellent and very mysterious, "Take A Bow", in which Madonna is betrayed by her lover, and she looks stunning, "Bedtime Story", my favourite Madonna video!

Since most of the songs were five minutes or longer, this was really the last Elton John album before he started turning out a string of Top 40 hits. But the best albums on any Elton John album were almost always the songs you never heard on AM radio. Ironically, given its place in my musical history, "Levon" made its way onto the third volume of Elton John's greatest hits collection even though it only made it to #24 on the single charts in 1972 ("Tiny Dancer" made it to only #41).

I like to think he may have been on the right track when the original albumn was released.  At any rate, if you haven't heard the material, you are in for a treat.

+Those were the days - has fantasy lyrics, a theme that Led Zeppelin would mine in its later works. This is a pop/rock song with good drumming and is bassy too. Also has pretty bell sounds too...not unlike that found the opening theme to the US cartoon series "Futurama". Lyrics feature the word "Ocharina", which looking it up now means a musical instrument, but I associated it with a video game of a fantasy nature, but even if this is not a fantasy reference, the rest of the song does have that quality to it though...a longing for times past.

The instrumentals will knock your socks off  (check out the dual guitar interplay with Mr. Clapton on "the  Calling"). The collaberation with Rob Thomas on "Smooth" is  the album's best vocal cut.

Without missing a beat the band segues into a phenomenal instrumental of shifting rhythms, textures, keys, sounding by turns jazzy and cartoonish, even quite beautiful (Bruce Fowler's tromboning can ellicit chills), and through it all Zappa maintains the theatrical aspect as well ("ladies and gentlemen .... WATCH RUTH!").  Not only are his musicians expected to play complex, very difficult music ..... they also had to make it look fun.

The album also featured two songs by Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy who would also go on to front Slash's group for his world tour during which he would sing songs from Slash's former bands as well as tracks from the album, so every night Kennedy would be filling the shoes of Axl Rose, Scott Weiland, Andrew Stockdale, Ian Astbury and Chris Cornell it was a job that he performed admiringly as his voice handled all the different ranges.

But if you are looking for a set of Paul McCartney songs that has a Beatles feel to it, then I think you might give Ram a try.  I would suggest that you suspend thoughts that this line or that may refer to any personal feelings that may have existed between Paul and the other Beatles at the time, and instead simply enjoy it for what it is; Paul singning his heart out (viz. Monkberry Moon Delight) for our benefit with a collection of original songs that have a Beatles feel to them.

Now, six years later, I embrace the philosophies put forth by Anti-Flag.  These guys are doing today what DK did in the '80s.

His heroes were heroes before their time, like the composer Edgard Varese, but Zappa, unexpectedly became rich and powerful enough during his own lifetime to do whatever he wanted, and found out he didn't really have that much to say, at least lyrically.

Hotel California shows the influence of Joe Walsh's addition to the band right away. The softer edge of Southern California rock is sharpened to a point on the title track, "Victim of Love," and especially "Life in the Fast Lane," which gives the listener exactly what the title says. Even the softer tunes like "The Last Resort," "New Kid in Town," and "Pretty Maids All in a Row" seem to hit with more musical power (listen to the bass and piano on "Maids") and the lyrics have a bittersweet feel to them.

It's easy to make fun of this album, especially the first few times you hear Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds or Mr. Tambourine Man - hey, I once made fun of Shatner's unique interpretations of these classics myself. The fact that Shatner doesn't actually sing tends to throw one off. When I got the chance to listen to the entire album, though, I was increasingly stunned by the realization that this unique recording was absolutely blowing me away. I have written a number of humorous reviews of very bad items, so I feel compelled to say that this is not one of them. Call it a novelty album if you like, but I sincerely believe this is one of the most underappreciated works of musical genius ever recorded. Heaven help me, but I really and truly love this album.

+This is the first Skynyrd Album (other than the Original Muscle Shoals Album), that does not include the late/great Billy Powell on keyboards. However, his  replacement, Peter "Keys" Pisarczyk, formerly from various versions of George Clinton's Parliment/Funkadelic Band, does a good job of playing keyboards for Skynyrd. I've seen him perform "live" with Skynyrd. He plays a Black Piano, in respect for Billy Powell, who always played a White Piano. Although there are no extended piano solos on this new album, Peter's piano playing is somewhat featured at the beginning of "Ready To Fly", & on the bonus song "Do It Up Right". Also, another change included on this album is a brand new bass guitar player, Johnny Colt, formerly from the Black Crowes.

During this concert, Andre plays a magical rendition of "Meditation" that will bring tears to your eyes.  This concert is worth owning just for "Meditation", as Rieu rarely plays this piece, but it is full of great music. While many of the elements that Rieu uses in his current performances are there, you get to see his style just developing and his tentative steps toward involving the audience with classical music.  A delightful look into the early years of this now world-renowned artist.

But if I had the opportunity to go back in time I would have definitely gone to this concert even if Stevie was coked out of her mind.  The performance could have been much worse, Some of Steven Tyler's shows with Aerosmith in the late 1970's were train wrecks and who can forget Van Halen's performance at the US festival in 1983 David Lee Roth was awful that day much worse than Stevie was here.

It's not 'War & Peace', but it ain't 'Yesterday' either, and that does me just fine. Though I'm not a great fan of the Extra Tracks provided on the CD to actually buy the CD version, I would recommend RAM to someone unfamiliar with McCartney, or familiar enough to wonder if there's more to him than 'Ebony & Ivory', 'Girlfriend', 'The Girl Is Mine', 'Honey Pie', 'All Together Now', 'Silly Love Songs', 'Wonderful Christmas Time', 'Mary Had A Little Lamb', 'Another Day'....... The list goes on really, but what I'm saying is, there IS more to him, but it's so rare that he actually chooses to listen to that side of him. But when he does, I usually love the album to pieces.

+7369	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	First things first; Midnight Marauders is an impeccable Masterpiece that contributed to the growing brilliance of one of the best years in HipHop (1993). Now, over the years it has become evident to me that A Tribe Called Quest's work is constantly being compared! WHY?. It is always debated as to whether "Low End Theory" is better than "People's instinctive travels & the paths of rhythm" or indeed "Midnight Marauders", but this ignorant question is not possible to answer since each tribe album offers something different each time, ensuring each fan to have their personal favourite. So GET OFF THAT ISH!. Now personally, Midnight Marauders I believe is ATCQ's most diverse and satisfying album they ever put out, purely down to the fact that each track offers its own unique sound that ensures any hiphop fan will find their "favourite track" will be constantly changing. Incase you are not familiar with ATCQ's music, it is mainly made up of an East Coast, jazzy/conscious ,laid back vibe not really ideal for fans of Gangsta rap of hard-hitting drum patterns that occupied the majority of 1993-1994. Q-tip posesses one of the most laid back voices in hiphop, so if you're looking for a rugged/dark album, sorry you will not find it here. Similarly, you will not find one weak track on this album, every track can be listened to somewhere, sometime resulting in an amazingly consistent album that can be played from track 1-15 leaving you wanting to hit the rewind button. "Electric Relaxation" is considered to be one of the best Hiphop songs of all time, let alone the Tribe's best and is worth the price of the album alone. "Steve Biko" sets the album off nicely, with addictive horns accompanied by Q Tip's and Phife's catchy flows its a sure thing. Then, leading on to replayable classics like "Award Tour", "8 Million Stories" and "Oh My God" you will find yourself constantly being suprised with greatness. "Keep it Rollin'" produced by and featuing Large Professor is nothing short of amazing, as would be expectable from a line up so mind-blowing. All in All, Midnight Marauders is not just for Hiphop Fans, fans of any genre (especially jazz/funk/soul) will find this album to be amongst their favourites as Tribe Called quest incorporate a variety of different sounds/instruments into their music. Give this a listen, and come on a journey into one of the best hiphop albums in history. You will find you may have stumbled across a personal favourite. PEACE

+4218	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Many have questioned why this "film" hasn't been remastered.  The simple reason is it was shot on videotape, not film. This special, and the ones that followed, were taped at NBC Studios in Burbank(when Frank leaves his car at the beginning of the show, that's the Tonight Show studio on his right!), along with "The Dean Martin Show", "Rowan & Martin's Laugh In", "The Hollywood Squares", and many more.  Everything shot at the Burbank complex, up until just a decade or so ago, was done on videotape, not film.  Unfortunately even broadcast quality videotape deteriorates over time.  My guess is that this special probably wasn't preserved on digital disc, until sometime in the 1980's.  If you look at the DVD's of the Dean Martin Show, or "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson", you'll see that some of those master tapes have deteriorated as well.  It's a shame, but those were the cost cutting limitations that NBC offered at the time.  Also note that this special was shot on three different nights(hence the canned laughter at Sinatra's jokes).  The first installment was November 8th, 1965.  Sinatra returned at two different days that week to finish off the performance (it took at least a day to tear down and rebuild each of those elaborate sets).  It was broadcast on Thanksgiving night of '65. I have read that Frank was suffering from a severe cold the night he taped the "I've Got You Under My Skin" segment, and was very cranky to the directors, producers and everyone else in the studio that night.  Despite it all, he turned out a top notch performance, and I for one, am glad we have it, considering what NBC did to the first decade of Johnny Carson's material!

Naturally, a person's voice will lower in register with age, so it should come as no surprise that Barry and the Brothers Gibb don't go sky-high in their harmonies as they used to. That said, they still have a three part harmony that's just beautiful and unique in all of pop music. Their unique vocal harmony and chemistry are front and center here,as they go through four decades of song, both their own hits and songs written for others. This show was performed and taped at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and the crowd seems a bit dressed up for a concert, but I guess they were dressed for a night out. The sound quality on this disc is fine, but I had to turn the volume higher for this show than on other concert discs I have, so perhaps a move up to DTS wouldn't be a bad idea. The picture quality is fine and razer-sharp. I don't think they left any song in their catalogue out, even having Andy Gibb, sadly departed, "Guest" in a beautiful quartet,"Don't Throw It All Away". Celine Dion appears as well, in "Immortality", and they sound so GOOD together one wonders why they haven't done more together since. Of course, all the "Saturday Night Fever" songs are here, and they are wonderful. All in all, this is a fantastic show, very straight-forward, with no gimics or flashy stage show to distract form the incredible three-part singing that is the hallmark of the BeeGees.

Axl has got to deliver on Chinese Democracy. Slash and the boys threw this together in 2 years and Axl has been working on that CD for what almost 10 yrs now??

+The dud video of the latter half is Hidden Place.  After 30 seconds, that whole migration of bodily fluid becomes a boring concept, and we have to endure it for the rest of the video!  Pagan Poetry and Cocoon are better, especially Cocoon, which I'm sure just baffled the hell out of the critics.
+Admittedly, this one may not be for everyone, it is a highly experimental and intensely difficult work, but there is nothing in Bowie's catalog that's quite as rewarding as "Low".  This is one of the real essential pieces of its era.

Frank Sinatra's voice was still incredible in this 1967 special before it began to deline in only about 3 years. His rendition of Old Man River is one of my favorites. So dark and full of emotion. He also swings and makes memorable some "throw-away" numbers like day In, Day Out and Get Me to the Church on Time. Ella Fitzgerald easily mathces him in this special, however, her smooth and velevetty voice being pure Heaven to listen to.

+I must note as I always do with SACD and DVD-A reviews, they just sound better than CDs.  CDs simply do not contain enough data to sound right.  After listening to DVD-As for some time, I really have gotten to dislike listening to CDs because CDs sound harsh and brittle. It is hard to explain the subjective difference between the sound produced by SACD and DVD-Audio and the sound produced by a CD. It is like trying to reproduce cool seaside air with the dry brittle air blowing out of the air conditioner nozzle in a jet airplane and a spray bottle full of table salt and water. In a very literal sense, the CD format is like playing a violin with a hack saw -- there is simply no way to smooth out the saw teeth sufficiently to make it sound correct. SACD and DVD-Audio fix the problem by giving you enough data to filter out the audible errors created by digitizing analog sound.
+Overall, they gave one of their greatest performances, and it's is luck for us that it was recorded for posterity.
+Packed with integrity, grits, and emotion, this is one of those albums that you can listen to over, and over and over again and love it more each time. The title track, far from being a pick-me-up ode to jingoism, is an anti-war epic that distills the conflicted feelings of Vietnam to their very essence; "I'm on Fire" is a raw distillation of lust; "No Surrender" and "My Hometown" evoke the blue-collar American spirit like few artists have ever done.

+Unless you have secret incriminating evidence against Furtwngler supporting your accusation that he was a tool of Nazi Party, I beg to take violent issue with your decision to ban him. The man never was a Party member. Upon numerous occasions, he risked his own safety and reputation to protect friends and colleagues. Do not believe that the fact of remaining in one's own country is alone sufficient to condemn a man. On the contrary, as a military man, you would know that remaining at one's post often requires greater courage than running away. He saved, and for that we are deeply his debtors, the best part of his own German culture. As for quote 'lending an aura of respectability to the Party', are we the Allies not infinitely more guilty and of our own free will by recognising and pactizing with these monsters when almost despite ourselves we were literally dragged and unchivalrously knocked into this struggle, except of course for Great Britain which declared war before being directly attacked. Remember Munich and Berchtesgaden and all the years when we all wantonly abandoned to their cruel fate every brave and hopeful heart, every valiant and defiant nation. I believe it patently unjust and most cowardly for us to make of Furtwngler a scapegoat for our own crimes. If the man is guilty of specific crimes, accuse him and convict him. As far as I can see, it is no punishment to be banned from sordid, filthy Berlin and if the man now old and ill is willing and anxious to return to his exacting task and responsibilities he should be encouraged for that is where he belongs, right in Berlin. If this diseased nation should ever grow up to become a self-respecting member of the community of nations, it will be due to the efforts of men like Furtwngler who have proven that they are able to rescue from the war at least part of their soul. Witness the Berlin Philharmonic. These men alone are able to build on this unsullied base a better society. It is not by stifling such men that you will achieve your aim. Quite the contrary you will only stir up a justifiable resentment against a vandalism as real as the more obvious variety which carves up churches and paintings [...][48]
+"What Kind Of Girl Do You Think We Are?" begins the groupie motif of this record. Mark Volman is singing the part of a teenage groupie, and Howard Kaylan is doing the part of an out-of-town touring musician, and even though it is misogenistic and of questionable taste, it is a good blues song, and it tells of the relationship between groupie and "rock star." "Bwana Dik" and "Latex Solar Beef" are just weird and smutty. Juvenile, phallic, locker-room humor is the theme this performance takes on, but it is done with such conviction, you have to appreciate it, however tasteless. It is, however, life on the road, with groupies who will tolerate almost anything to get into a popular musician's pants. Keep this in mind.

One can easily hear the enormous influence that  bassist/vocalist Fred Maddox had on the rockabilly bassists who followed  him, including Bill Black and Dorsey Burnette. And lead guitarist Roy  Nichols displays the ample chops that he would later employ to great effect  with the likes of Lefty Frizzell, Wynn Stewart, and Merle Haggard.  The most impressive thing about the Maddoxes, though, is that their records  were Fun with a capital "F."  Sure they never enjoyed much  popularity outside of their west coast base, but their records have stood  the test of time far better than some others of the era and you're a better  person than I am if you can stifle a smile while listening to the almighty  racket that the group made.  Most of the songs are punctuated by the kinds  of whoops and hollers and laughing that would be commonplace on rockabilly  records made nearly a decade later, and more than a few sound like someone  is building a house in the studio while the group was recording.  If you're  a musician who's getting a little too full of the "art" of  playing music, give a listen to the Maddoxes for a reminder of what music  sounds like when it's played for fun...and sounds like it.

The light-show, the pyro-effects, and the moving parts on stage are amazing and take your breath away.

This cd contains his firts recordings as a solo artist, recorded months before Who s' Next and released around that album also in May 1971. It was a very hard to find album at that time and very few Who fans noticed his release. The later editions contain a song originally recorded and composed by Neil Young (Cinnamon Girl). We will never know the real truth about this one: if the song was given to Young by Entwistle.

One warning:  track 12, which is supposed to be  "New Muleskinner Blues" is actually "I Want to Live and  Love".  This means that "Live and Love" actually plays  twice, since it is also track 27.

+"On the Other Side" teams up with "All You're Missin' Is A Heartache," "Live and Learn," and "Help You Find Your Way" in forming the album's core theme. The songs reflect on the gulf between the life of a Christian and one who is lost, and the struggle to stay on the right path. "On the Other Side" speaks of the relationship between a Christian and his old friends who knew him before he was saved. "All You're Missin'," which has some Stryper-powered backup vocals, addresses the false premise that the grass is always greener, stating "they look mighty fine, a sight to behold, but all that glitters is not gold." "Live and Learn" is a particularly strong cut that struggles with the human tendency to "always do what I don't want to do."

From head to toe, this album IS the best album of the seventies. And  probably one of the best albums of all time. For I'm a Springsteen fan, I  only let Springsteen top the Eagles.

So it was a delight to see Harmonia Mundi interested in this very important baroque composer. The work itself is a masterpiece, the music is  gorgeous, this must be one of the most significant discoveries of the 90's.  Conductor Rene Jacobs has a superb ear for textures, his pacing is just  admirable. The soloists couldn't be bettered, with the pure adorable voice  of Maria Cristina Kiehr as Maddalena, and Bernarda Fink and Andreas Scholl  as the Amore Terreno and Amore Celeste. If you don't know this oratorio,  you are in for a big surprise!
+If you love musicials, live theatre and great performances, don't miss this special concert -- live at Carnegie Hall.
+Baker Street is clearly one of the greatest songs from the 1970s and there's no rubbish here at all, special mention for The Ark, definitely a song of someone looking for the truth to set them free.
+My second confession is that, to be totally honest, I didn't much care for the CD at first. As another reviewer here noted, it takes about three listens to really start enjoying it. Their hit singles "Fall to Pieces" and "Slither" are generally regarded to be the best from the CD, and some people on Amazon have accused the rest of being shameless filler.

That song is NO WAY patriotic in ANY WAY.How can someone like Springsteen write a song showing his love for the country,when he supports a socialist,america-hating president? Bottom line is:Springsteen has always been a Bob Dylan wanna-be shmuck,that can't sing worth a lick. Everytime he tries to carry a tune,he sounds like he's trying to squeeze out a huge dump. You wanna listen to some good heartland rock...go for Tom Petty or Bob Seger.
+Gale's three chart-makers are here: We'll Sing In The Sunshine, Lovin' Place, and I'll Cry Alone; along with spirited and emotional folk ballads (especially notable is Wanderin', the ancient lyric which morphed into I'm Never Gonna Fall In Love Again for Tom Jones in 1967. It's done uptempo).

The album is a must have for any rocker who has come of age. Mature yet not boring . Rocking yet not forced in. The Mothers of Invention are a brilliant backing band for the craftman ship of Zappa. I personally like the live albums where the band interacts with the crowd as it give the out there feeling to the listener. This concert was just that , good for any mood listening. Got get it RIGHT NOW !.
+There are two brilliant mistakes on the album--two song-suites that hint at a more classical/pop amalgam Elton would try years later. Ambitiously-honed songcraft that no one could equal is on display in "Indian Sunset" and "All The Nasties". BUT, it all falls down on the plywood of these stupid lyrics! The first song's lyrics attempt to send up the American Native on a third-grade level, much like the send-up of the Civil War on Tumbleweed's "My Father's Gun", but not as offensively. Then, on "All The Nasties" we get, what? A slap at the critics? It's about as weak a rebuke as saying, "You guys are right." A real missed opportunity for music and lyrics. But Elton stirs us with his imagination. Speaking of which, can you imagine what Elton would have made here with George Martin and Geoff Emerick at the boards? A lyricist on the order of Elton's buddy John Lennon giving him reason to write such gospel-inflected music??

+The addition/substitution of Joe Walsh as a guitarist and writer made this the best of the Eagles career.  With this album, the Eagles got edgier than their earlier foray into pop and country rock.  I simply can't say enough about this masterpiece.  The general theme is the decadence of the rock scene in Los Angeles during the heyday of rock.  Walsch gave Hotel California and Life in the Fast Lane (I thought it was life in the Vaseline -- same thing) their edgier rock sound.  There isn't a song which misses nor a note out of place.

The video shows that even after  nearly three decades they are able to maintain a creative edge without  overhauling the "jazz-rock" blueprint best heard on the albums AJA, THE  ROYAL SCAM, and TWO AGAINST NATURE.  To my delight, the 5.1 digital mix  gives the rhythm section a funk-jazzy wallop ala late-period Miles Davis or  Marcus Miller.

+I always thought that Pink Floyd's performance would have been even better then it already was (and it was good) with actual actor's, especially during The Trial.  To see that here is an amazing thing.  The sheer power and performance of this piece astounds me.  I admit I thought the Judge on The Trial could have been a lot better, but he wasn't as bad as some people seem to think he was.  And Tim Curry was a great choice for the prosecutor, IMO (if Roger does take The Wall to Broadway, I think he should recast Tim Curry as the Prosecutor).

(His lull in the 80's and 90's might of lead to his drinking problem, who knows).  On this album "City To City" #1, in 1977, is one of Gerry's ultimate releases.  "The Ark", a very smooth opener.  "Baker Street", #2 a tune for the times, an instant classic, great sax by Rapheal Ravenscroft.  "Right Down The Line" #12, another great single.  "City To City", great title song, loved this tune back in high school.  "Stealin' Time", 70's sound barnone.  "Mattie's Rag", early Gerry here, upbeat number.  "Whatever's Written In Your Heart", one of his best ballads.  "Home And Dry", #17, driving pop-rocker.  "Island", you can picture yourself on your island.  "Waiting For The Day", the wistful guitar is something else, a lost classic that should be played and heard on the RADIO!
+1612	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I'm one of those people that believes a concert is more about the sound than it is about the video.  Sure, I like seeing my favorite artists, but I much rather hear them.  There are a whole bunch of concert videos with questionable picture quality that can still benefit greatly from the blu-ray format.  Alchemy live is a perfect example of what I've been saying for a while now.  And finally, a record company gets it.  This is the release that audiophiles have been wanting for years.  Yes, some of these older concerts have low resolution video, a by-product of the times there were recorded.  So while the video doesn't make a case for being put on blu-ray, the audio does.  And that's what delights me as an audiophile.  Blu-ray takes up where DVD-Audio and SACD failed.  Now we can have high resolution multi-channel audio.

+Cream did occasionally play straight blues but in their best work they achieved a Beethovenian affirmation of life in the face of everything that ALL human beings are confronted with. In these performances the blues has come a long way from social marginalisation and right to the existential centre.

However, that's not to say these sketches are not entertaining or interesting. On the contrary. They're devilishly self indulgent, but that just makes them more fun to watch (even if it's anyones guess as to what they mean). During the concert, Marc is in top form on all the tracks with the exception of "Get it On" in which he just sounds off most of the time. Considering he had already given a full concert earlier that day, it's easy to see that he was obviously getting pretty tired. He also gives some outstanding performances with Ringo Starr on drums and Elton John on piano. These were some of my favorites, as Elton's piano adds a whole new element to Marc's roots rock n' roll.

Upon reading reviews of this DVD "David Gilmour in Concert 2002", I bought it over the more expensive Royal Albert Hall DVD.  Mistake.  This one, though a quality performance, is not "Pink Floyd re-visited" and has ZERO songs from his first two solid albums from back in the 80s (David Gilmour and About Face).  It is a bunch of slow, 'On an Island' type songs from I don't know where and multiple versions of PF songs that all began to sound the same...  I had to fast forward several times.  The redeeming feature of this DVD is the Extras.  The DVD is 'only' $10, but I don't see myself ever watching it again so...not worth the money.

+There have been some changes made for the DVD and not all for the better. I think some of the "grainy" complaints are because the filmmaker has chosen to add closeups which weren't really there... i.e. picking a small portion of the frame and blowing it up to make it a close up and naturally that makes those shots a bit grainy. Some of the choice of shots is a bit disappointing in comparison with the original and there's a bit more of the MTV jerkiness (in every sense of the word) about camera mix in a couple of numbers. You get grainy close-ups and disconcerting cross-cuts at the expense of the wider views that show you what's actually going on. OTOH there's also a few places where the choices of shot are better than the original - patriculary giving a little more prominence to the fabulous Manu Katche (sp?) in the opening number.

If you are looking for Roy Orbison's best, then you will be better off buying this album than the two separate volumes. On here, you get the two combined, for less than the cost of the two separate. I have loved the songs of Roy Orbison since I was a child, and I still do. His voice is timeless, and there surely cannot be too many people who can honestly say that they do not like his music. The liner notes are interesting, telling us a bit about Orbison's career.

+Comparisons to Gershwin and Porter were also being tossed around when "Imperial Bedroom" first came out, one suspects they had more to do with overzealous critics trying to make associations with "serious music" than to the obvious merits of Elvis' songwriting prowess. The debt to Tin Pan Alley ("The Long Honeymoon") is truly there. But the lyrical jabs and jibes are still pure Costello, and a line like "In a private detective overcoat and dirty deadman's shoes" would be perfect for that kind of stage production cross. I'd be hard pressed to imagine Cole Porter working up the anger behind "Shabby Doll."

The only problem is that two songs from the video, "Candle In The Wind" and "The [***] Is Back", are deleted from the dvd. The best songs here are the beautiful ballads, such as "Song For Guy/Your Song", "Blue Avenue", "The One", "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" and "Daniel".

+Instead, Brian Wilson's music is formulaic, but brilliantly so, a superb if sugary confection of great tunes, easy, sing-along lyrics, and a pronounced beat. It was rock and roll, produced for commercial success, and it was wildly successful. From "Surfing USA" to "In My Room", from "Fun, Fun, Fun" to "I Get Around", From "Wendy" to "Don't Worry Baby", this is great music, fun to listen to, and something you find yourself humming all day after hearing it on the radio. My favorites here are "California Girls" and "Good Vibrations".  This is an album you will want to keep around for background music, for it is a wonderful sound and reminds us all of a more wonderful time in our long lost youth. Enjoy!

+What IS good is the way the movie escalates. I'm sure most of us know how unnerving it can be when you have a group of young kids running around, screaming and crying. This goes right to the bones of a lot of people. Now add to that some horrible accidents happening and the resulting confusion about what is actually going on. Add to that the cold, isolation and seemingly innocence of the children and the dial on the creepiness factor climbs way up.

The chemistry between Weiland & the rest of the band is addictive.  I've played it three times already & can't wait to hear it again.  Haven't had a chance to really sit down with it & take it in lyrically, but Weiland has a very rhythmic approach to his craft that meshes well with Slash's crash & burn style.  All elements blend in the pot & just combust.  "Spectacle" sounds exactly like Beautiful Creatures.  I didn't see any note of Joe LeSte singing on it, but it sounds just like him.  It sounds like Guns, like STP, but with a renewed freshness & vigor sorely lacking in today's music.  I love every song on this; "Falling To Pieces" is killer!  CRANK IT UP!  Da' Wolf

+The Fantasie for Flute and Orchestra was written as a competition piece but is certainly more than just an exercise.  Although under five minutes the piece is in two movements and beautifully demonstrates the range and abilities of the flute.  The work recorded here is an orchestration made in 1957 for Jean-Pierre Rampal.  The Eligie for Cello is an orchestration of the original for cello and piano that dates to 1880.  It is a reflective and sad piece that was used during Faure's own state funeral.  The Dolly suite is an orchestration of a piano suite that Faure originally wrote for Dolly Bardac, the daughter of the singer Emma Bardac.  It is interesting that French composers wrote so much music directed toward children; Jeu d' enfant and the Children's Corner come immediately to mind.  Faure's contribution is in six movements beginning, appropriately, with a Berceuse and continuing with Mi-a-ou (based on Dolly's nickname).  The Jardin de Dolly that comes next describes a garden of the imagination followed by Kitty-Valse (which actually describes Dolly's dog Ketty).  The suite concludes with the beautiful and passionate Tendresse and Le pas Espanol, which describes an equestrian statuette that was Dolly's favorite.

+that being said, this person does make a few good points.  first off, tool may be a GREAT band, but there ARE better bands out there.  i agree that adam jones is not that great a guitar player (though i think justin is an excellent bassist).  i read in his ashlee simpson review that he enjoys dillenger escape plan, whom i would say is one of the bands that is better than tool.  i even believe their drummer is better than danny carrey (if you don't believe me, check that dude out).
+With the release of this long awaited collection, the Zappa family has almost done my work for me! Originally released as 4 albums; "Live in NY", "Sleep Dirt", "Studio Tan" "Orchestral Favorites", (and a few tracks off "Sheik Yerbouti") this triple CD box has a little bit of everything. Biting satire (Titties and Beer, Greggery Peccary), Blues rock (Illinois Enema Bandit, which contains one of Frank's better guitar solos), Orchestra (Naval Aviation in Art), hard rock (Tryin to Grow a Chin, Broken Hearts) and blistering jazz/rock that would stand against the best of Beck, McLaughlin, Di Meola, et. al. (Filthy Habits, RDNZL and the brilliant Ocean is the Ultimate Solution, though the latter, at 8 minutes, is almost cut in half compared to the original 13 minute version on Sleep Dirt!?!). It also contains many of the between song spoken interludes that later ended up on Sheik Yerbouti and Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar.

When it came time to record their sophomore effort "Aenima", bassist Paul D'Amour left the band and was replaced by Englishman Justin Chancellor. When the band recruited David Botrill, the band wanted to broaden their progressive-metal sound to newer heights that most bands wouldn't have done when it came to make a second album. Whereas most groups try to make a second album that was more accessible or stick to the formula that made their first album great, Tool didn't do any of those things. Instead, they went to darker and more melodic territories to set the "Aenima" album further apart from their debut album. What Tool did was make on one of the best hard rock albums of the 1990s that broke more rules on how to rock harder with a much darker sensibility.

These people have huge knowlegde base on higher powers-- satan worship.  I have done a lot of research and have found that the lead singer has a very offbeat sense of humor and ANYBODY that makes fun of this band will be sorry, I have reported the drummers website for very obscure remarks made and I would seriously reconsider this band since the drummer is a direct affiliate of aleister crowley, who in the most simple sense sacrificed his own son.

Mine has no scratches or abberations of any kind and after about a dozen plays or so it no longer works. I've tried it in three different players with no luck. My only conjecture is that the gold color of the playing surface is more difficult for some DVD players to read (I have a top-line 2nd generation player) and perhaps changes over time. This is only a guess, your mileage may vary. So I'm stuck with a favorite DVD that won't play. Otherwise an excellent concert. Caveat emptor...

Judging by the conflicting comments on the Amazon site Tool have stimulated a Love 'em / Hate 'em  response which is the hallmark of all important art. I must confess that it  was not until after a couple of listenings and the acquisition of the  lyrics via the Net that the true impact of this CD hit me. This is cutting  edge heavy metal and, in my opinion, the most significant creation from  that style of the 90's. The content is varied and interesting whilst  paradoxically managing to both intrigue and bludgeon the listener. Coupled  to a truly outstanding production Aenima delivers a aural experience of  shattering proportions which tested even my leviathan sound system to the  limit.

+1615	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The review by Robert Hedges here rather hits the nail on the head in my book so I won't rehash - great musicianship and a lot of fun to watch. Not having seen the VHS version, can't comment on the relative sound quality, but it's very good on Blue Ray. The photography is good qualtiy for a stage performance - multiple camera angles and the editing keeps things moving along. The problem with the visual qualtiy seems to be the lighting that shifts from bright white spot to blue to red to other colors; this change intensity of light must have been a cameraman's nightmare f-stop wise. Quite often there is a lack of fill lights, so when the high-beam white spot is on illuminated areas are washed out in places whilst non-illuminated areas are very dark or simply black. However, this in no way - for me - detracted from the performance; gave it a bit of a psychadelic look at times! Aside from his incredible guitar playing, what I found most interesting about this performance was Mark's vocal delivery. Let's face it, he doesn't have a voice with great range, but his delivery and timing are fascinating. The band - including a great keyboard player amongst others - looks like it was having a grand old time and I think viewers of this DVD will as well. The item is a bit pricey, reason for this explained by others here.

+The focus here is almost totally on the 90s party/romance "R&B" sound (He pauses only to honour his mother) and is full of classics in this respective genre. "Bump N' Grind" was the big hit and a definite anthemic highlight as he lays down his manifesto. Other well known material includes "Your Body's Calling Me"  and "It Seems Like Your Ready", both are beautifully structured and performed. Tracks five to nine bring a more uptempo feel with a slight new jack twist carrying on from 1992's "Born Into The 90s". The album reaches it's climax on the final two numbers: the bedroom suite of the near twelve-minute opus "Sex Me Part 1 & 2" and "12 Play". It's all really well done, you can tell he had really studied the epic nature of Marvin Gaye's 70s work.

Or as "king" of the hoboes in the Great Depression of the 1930's. And, of course, those are two of his personas. However, along the way he also became an important singer and writer of children's songs, many of which, almost by accident, we sang as kids (at least those who grew up in the 1950's, others can tell their own tales) without knowing the source. That is probably most clearly seen in Woody's classic "This Land Is Your Land" but there are, as this CD under review demonstrates, many others.

+6066	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is a great album for those who don't already own a lot of Miss Schuur's early albums. The truly greatest voice in music today, this album represents the best of her early albums and contains the most romantic song of all time, "By Design" a duet with Jose' Feliciano. One of the few songs around that really talks about the eternal nature of love. To my searching no one else has done this song. And by the way, after you have heard these recordings and you think that no one can really sing that well... Go see her live and find out that she is even better than her recordings!
+There are no extra features per se on this DVD. That is, there are no extras you access through a menu, as you can in&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/La-Luna-Live-in-Concert/dp/B00005ALLX/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">La Luna (Live in Concert)</a>. But like the VHS edition of this concert, the presentation begins with Sarah describing her affection for Africa, with samples of the landscape and icons to which she is referring spliced in. After the concert concludes, there is another more extensive interview about the show itself. She's an insightful interviewee and you come to appreciate the exactitude she attends to her art. Other than these interviews, the DVD edition is a no-frills product, basically a simple transfer from the VHS edition. The significant difference is that the sound and picture quality are vastly improved, and I can attest to this with certainty since I had watched the tape many, many times before I upgraded to the DVD. The improvement over the VHS edition is strikingly obvious, especially in the sharpness of the picture.

Jan and Dean, The Ventures, and the greatest of them all, The  Beach Boys.  There were good folk music songs back then which also had  great harmonies but none better than the Beach Boys! This excellent  compilation has just about all of the great sounds of those wonderful  years. Thanks, studio guys, for the excellent recording transfer to CD.  These songs are correct for a sample of the Beach Boys' dynasty years. I  Get Around! Surfin U.S.A! In My Room! Fun Fun Fun! Surfer Girl! Don't Worry  Baby! California Girls! Good Vibrations! All originals, all high fidelity!  (I would have liked to ride my Honda tonight) If it's been a while, buy  this priceless CD and catch a wave!

+542	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Just picked up a fresh copy tonight and was a little worried by the updated packaging with clear tray and a booklet full of nice pics as well as a plug for Bruce's website. Was afraid the disc had been 'remastered' and had its dynamics killed in the process, as most music is falling victim to these days. Held my breath as I took a look at one of the waveforms and sighed with relief to see that they're still using the original 1980s master with full dynamics. This means you might need to turn your volume up a bit but when you do, you'll hear all aspects of the recording as originally intended, and the quality is really nice!

+602	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I purchased this disc after getting Tunnel of Love with the same Japan LP sleeve 2005 release.  The Tunnel of Love had excellent sound quality so I figured that the Born in the USA if part of the same 2005 Japan release would have similar excellent sound quality.  I was almost swayed against doing this by the reviewer indicating the sound was only as good as the domestic standard release.  I took a chance and I am glad I did because the sound is excellent just like Tunnel of Love.  This is an outstanding collection of Bruce tunes and it is great to hear them in such excellent sound quality.  The sound is as at least as good if not better than the tracks from Born in the USA off of the Essential Springsteen 3 disc set.  Hope this helps clarify for anyone with hesitation in getting this because of lack of quality mix in sound.
+From start to finish this is nothing short of a masterpiece. The beats and rhymes at a level most artists in hiphop today or previous will never reach. The 2 mc's flows are fast, witty, honest, hard edged, skilled and basically perfect. The beats are absolutely rockin'. The dj (KAOS) is off the meat-rack, his cuts and slices are awesome, and they bless EVERY track. Its basically "2 turntables and a microphone" time baby!!!! All the tracks are excellent but my stand out joints are "art of facts", "31 bumrush", "to ya chest", "the ultimate", "its gettin'hot", "the interview", "this is the way", "who's this?" and the showbiz remix of "the ultimate" at the end. Off the hook.
+For me, "Weasels"  stands as a great concentration of the liberatory spirit of the late 1960s.  Some of FZ's '70s stuff was excellent ("One Size Fits All" is  quite underrated, FI), but the freshness and optimism of the '60s was lost.  I recommend this album as a sort of musical Zen koan -- listen to it  repeatedly, and see if it doesn't open your mind!
+How so?  I bought this gem in '92 after hearing "I've Been Waiting" (as perfect a pop tune as I could imagine) on, of all stations, WHFS in Washington, DC -- that bastion of alternative rock.  Compared to the other "life sucks, gurls suck" fare of that era (RIP, Kurt), "Waiting" shone like a light in the darkness.  And what perfect timing:  After 10 years of marriage, I'd finally decided (!) that I really did love my wife and couldn't imagine an existence without her.  Still, Girlfriend's plays on my machine were mostly that song -- that song only.
+Finally, the choices all "go together" well. These are classic carols that have stood the test of time (with one exception, but it has a similar "feel" so fits in well). I highly recommend this album.
+
+I would have to recommend this to Guns Roses Fans its the only thing i ever heard by any band that has a similiar feel to Appetite for destruction in anyway shape or form. Stone Temple Pilots chose different sounds for all of their cds so STP fans may also want to check this one out if nothing else great for your collection if your a big fan of either band.

+7133	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	R. Kelly made a promising debut with this 1992 album. The material suffers a little in retrospect from it's production sounding rather dated, it was best to go straight to Teddy Riley when you wanted the new jack swing era sound. His lyrical limitations were clear from get go also with one lowlight being a rap inisting "Some hotties don't carry a purse, yeah it gets worse, chek the second verse...".

I can play it over and over - nothing compares to the power I feel when I crank it (well the subwoofer in the back helps with that too ;).  I'm sure some people won't agree, but this is a more solid, more rockin, more all around appealing piece of work than Guns or STP put out on their own.  OK, maybe it's not better than Appetite, but it doesn't have the annoyances of Axl either.  Scott is more of a real singer than a whiny brat (God love him, but Axl can just be too much after awhile).

+"Try And Love Again" is one of my favorite Eagles songs, and easily the most underrated song on this album (I even love the syntactic faux pas of the title). Great vocals and guitars. It has been called the Eagles' last country-rock song, but to me it sounds more like a hybrid of early-70's Southern California Rock and mid-60's Merseybeat/Searchers-style Pop (with the bright, ringing guitars and chord structure built around the loping D major). It also provides Frey with one of the best guitar solos in the Eagles canon, which is quite a feat considering the great players, past and present, in this band. I'm not sure why this track was never released as a single - maybe because Meisner was on the way out? Too country-rock, which the Eagles were trying to move away from, partly to win over rock critics (some success) but mostly to broaden their fan base (much success)? It's too bad that Meisner didn't use this type of musical setting as a starting point for what looked to be a promising solo career, rather than releasing a series of (mostly) lame, generic rock albums. Not that he would have sold any more records, but it would have made a few of us happy. Regardless, I have missed his great vocals (lead and harmony) on subsequent Eagles recordings, and I haven't even mentioned his talents as a bass player. Oh well, Meisner fans among the Eagles' throngs appear to be few and far between. But if you need proof, compare his vocal performance on "Take It To The Limit" with Frey's more recent renderings. The difference between good and goose-pimply.
+Blu-ray, with its huge capacity, will allow hours of special features. Here's what I'd especially love to see:
+
+This is a record that benefits greatly from playback on quality equipment, especially tubes. A $1000 system from Best Buy will just not get the job done. The first time I heard RAM on an audiophile system my jaw hit the floor. I have to pick up the remaster...
+I have a feeling that this album has been greatly overlooked, historically.  It might be McCartney's best sustained work.  Much of it is equal to his Beatles melodicism.  And the slightly low-fi vibe just adds to how much one can glean from repeated listens.
+This DVD, with a few exceptions, is a great retrospective of his work so far.  From his beginnings as a teen idol (I'm old enough to remember when "Careless Whisper" had the girls swooning) to the more mature and socially-conscious messenger that he is today.  Not all the videos work, let's agree that some are boring, but most are superbly entertaining.  The first video, "Outside", is a trip indeed and is quite an aural and visual treat.  You'll remember that one for a long time!
+9802	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	You can keep Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane etc (glam rock generally isn't my thing). This is my favorite Bowie album, and no doubt one of his most innovative. A collaboration with Brian Eno (produced by Tony Visconti), Low merges Eno's ambient and electronic experimentation (as seen on minor classics such as Another Green World and Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy) with Bowie's innate pop sense to create a truly excellent record. Released in 1977, Low proved that David had recovered from his somewhat flatulent "plastic soul" period with ease and was still relevant in the face of rock's new generation (Sex Pistols, Ramones, Elvis Costello, The Clash, Wire etc.). It also established the course he would take on the next 3 albums--Heroes, Lodger (Parts 2 & 3 of the "Berlin Trilogy") and Scary Monsters.
+7114	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	NEG	2.0	BDP was simply too didactic to ever be very popular. KRS1 was not called `teacher' for nothing. Sadly, what he taught was mostly propaganda, based not on a scholarly assessment of his subjects, but on a quasi-religious belief in his own rhetoric. The beats were OK though, and `Bo Bo Bo' was fun, and relatively free of preaching.
+6. Softly And Tenderly
+Maynard James Keenan is an extremely overrated singer.  His vocalwork is one of the main reasons why I hate this album, since his vocals usually are either really bad "anguished" singing or pseudo-aggressive yelling, in which both styles would be right at home with your run-of-the-mill 90's nu-metal (or alternative metal for those who demand euphamisms) or Nine Inch Nails album (yuck).

We have many fine musicians on this thing.eg sal marquez and george duke. marquez is a beautiful trumpeter (listen to blessed relief). george has a beautiful solo on eat that question and another fine solo on blessed relief. these two songs are my faves. frank has a solo on eat the question, wah-wah solo. Man, it rocks. The title track has a great big band sound, a lovely composition. Lots of soloing here, which is what jazz should be. trombone,trumpet, don preston on mini moog. Tony duran guitar-brill! The song cleetus awreetus awrightus is very funny, a cracker. funny sounding i mean. I don't have a cover on my cd, i got it cheap. But the artwork looks great. Also great is calvin and two hitchhikers, off the wall stuff, and the big band sound is taken full advantage of near the end. It's a great tune. Aynsley Dunbar is a wonderful drummer, his drumming on the album is excellent. Pity there isn't more of this kind of stuff floating around. There was a tour with this band in 72, i'm sure it was a cracker. Anyway, get this album if you like good jazzy music. Also i recommend waka/jawaka also from 1972. Thank you
+There just seems to be an unspoken joy in the performance that probably reflects a content (if that adjective could ever be applied to Frank) band leader that knows he has some of the best musicians on the planet, at that time, executing his complex and delightfully bizarre compositions.

+5946	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Cream's last really deliberate effort in the studio, Wheels of Fire stands out as one of the all-time greatest rock albums, and one of the top ten albums of the sixties. Driven by the singles, "White Room" and  "Crossroads," this was Cream's first and only number one album  and the first album to be certified platinum, ever. Somewhat less coherent  than Disraeli Gears, due to the increasing division between the band  members, Wheels of Fire could be called Cream's White Album, showing the  band moving off into separate directions with their respective writing  partners and turning up with some surprisingly different, innovative and  original songs. More melancholy and introspective than Disraeli Gears,  Wheels of Fire jams less and grooves more, particularly on the ever topical  "Politician" and the super precise "Sitting On Top of the  World." Other songs seem like more of a throwback to Fresh Cream, the  dreamy "As You Said" and "Those Were the Days" in  particular. The cello-accented ballad, "Deserted Cities of the  Heart," is one of Bruce and Brown's best, and there's more than a  touch of strangeness in Baker's amusing and quaint recital of "Pressed  Rat and Warthog." Eric, sitting out on the song-writing for a while,  makes sure that no one completely forgets the blues, contributing  arrangements of "Born Under A Bad Sign" and  "Crossroads." On the second disc, the live material, as usual, is  where Cream really shines. It seems as if they picked one song to showcase  each band member, then chose the classic "Spoonful" to highlight  them all. The instrumentation is even more magnificent than ever, showing  incredible precision from all the members, especially Baker, whose drum  solo on the live version of "Toad" is the only drum solo I've  been able to tolerate, let only enjoy. "Crossroads" shows  Clapton's soloing at its best, and "Traintime" features Bruce  nearly passing out during a seven minute blues harp marathon. Listening to  him gasp for breath near the end, yet keep on singing and playing, is to  witness an inspiring sacrifice from an artist truly willing to suffer for  his art. Cream's best album really could be considered a toss up between  this one and Disraeli Gears, but I favor this one marginally because  there's not a single slipup included.

+2964	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I just saw this video for the first time, so you may have to forgive me if nostalgia causes me, to some anyway, to over-rate this. I notice some reviewers have dissected this filmed 1962 t.v. performance like a cadaver, but this is what I got from the viewing. I like varied styles of music, I'm not an expert, I like what I hear, or I don't. I found this filmed musical special just great!  Seeing these legends perform together still gives one goosebumps. The entertainment industry back then was a smaller community, and the obvious affection, support, and comaraderie between these "friends", who also happened to be three of the biggest names in show-biz, is magic. Some find the staging, patter, etc..corny, I loved it. It's SHOW-BIZ, Baby!!!  I found them all in great voice, Sinatra & Dino the definition of cool. And JUDY !...oh Judy, is so fantastic, when she sings "The Man That Got Away", from her "A Star Is Born", it's easy to see why many consider her the greatest talent Hollywood ever produced. Her voice, and the emotion in her renditions, justify the legend. And her finale may bring you to tears. This Baby-Boomer is SO glad I was around at that time , so that I was very familiar with these entertainment giants...was I lucky.  I love music...many  kinds, I'm just as likely to follow a Patsy Cline c.d. with Blondie, then Jefferson Airplane. But in this era of Puffy Daddys & Techno-Floozies, it is so refreshing to be reminded of these dear, now-gone people, all of whom evoke the term "God-given talent". A great video for "those who were there", and maybe even for those younger who weren't. As time goes by, and when all's said and done, these three will be of the relative hand-full of performers who will be remembered.

+So I waited, and I saw "Fall to Pieces".  I went out the next day and bought Contraband with no regrets at all.  Scott Wiland's flexible voice fits in so well with Slash's guitar that one might forget all about GnR.

+I give it four stars because, for the "serious" fan or curious fan (there can be no "casual" Hendrix fan), the DVD version of this release has over an hour of visionary guitar playing.  Since I wouldn't hold my breath for any less edited release (especially now that it's committed to DVD), I think this will more than "have to do."  The improvisations preserved on this recording are as intense and masterful as anything currently available.  Add to that the simple fact that this is a visual document of Jimi playing less than 3 weeks before his death, and a wonder it was, thank God, and I just say you've got to have it.

In fact, all of Tool's music does, but Aenima is the band at its best balance of focus and quality. The word 'teaches' may scare you away, but it is no brainwashing or hypocritical moralizing.

Yet, with the Berlin trio and the fantastic "Scary Monsters" he would go out with a bang.  This, the first of  the Berlin trio, is probably the most even and the best introduction.  It  lacks an anthemic single like "Heroes" but has no odd experiments  like "Boys Keep Swinging" or "The Secret Life of  Arabia."  Instead, you gain a pure glimpse of Bowie making himself at  home with electronic production and gauzy, ambient songwriting.  No real  hooks, but some beautiful music.  "Always Crashing in the Same  Car" is one of Bowie's best mood pieces and "Breaking Glass"  is his poppiest instrumental.

Criminally underrated, the album contains some of the singer-songwriter's finest music: the British hit "Boys Keep Swinging," "Fantastic Voyage," "Look Back in Anger," "Move On," "Red Sails" and the classic single "DJ." Side Two loses momentum toward the end, but the overall recording displays Bowie in top form.

+Elton may have Cameron Crowe and Taylor Hicks to thank for resurrecting "Tiny Dancer" and "Levon". These songs alone stand as some of the best Elton has ever written. Moreover, there is a level of maturity and fancifulness Taupin's lyrics have reached which blossom in these songs. "Indian Sunset" is a truly remarkable tale of defiant struggle and inevitable demise of the Native North American. The title track, a condemnation of society's treatment of the mentally ill. This may be reading far too much into the lyrics, but it is a guilty pleasure which Taupin's lyrics invite you to do at every stage of the album...
+It seems like there were 3, maybe 4 hits off of this. I think they were "D.J.," "Look Back In Anger," and "Boys Keep Swinging," but I won't swear to it. "Red Sail" might have been too. Somebody else on here has probably said them already, anyway.

+One of the album's showpieces is 'Wheely Down' -- Richard's image-building talents are in full play here. He begins likening a woman's body to a landscape: 'She womanly lay like the lay of the land, the land around Wheely Down -- and every curve was a high high hill to hang above the town', then turns his attention to the land itself, those who dwell upon it, and those who prey upon them, ending with a haunting image: 'All things must change within the earth -- the moving and the lame. For the worms will rot the miller's wheel, and the rats will eat the grain, and the armies of deliverance are run into the ground, and the kestrel turns in the empty skies, on high over Wheely Down'. The modal drone of the arrangement is perfectly written and executed, a brilliant accompaniment to these lyrics -- it's a great example of sound painting.

My favorites so far are 'Gaslighting Abbie', 'Almost Gothic'  and the strangely perverted 'Cousin Dupree'.  That last one really shows  that Steely Dan hasn't lost their edginess.  It's too bad that radio  formats are so fragmented today; it would be great hearing the new Steely  Dan follow Beck, Nirvana, the Pumpkins, Beatles, Zeppelin, Dr. Dre and the  Stones all on the same station.

If you do buy a DVD though, make sure you don't have the surround sound on. It sounds much much better when it's just flat together.  Although this isn't a concert like you'd see today, it's still entertaining, definitely a classic. Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders just go together. I've got friends that don't know Bowie, but do know Ziggy Stardust. This is a great band, wonderful character, wonderful songs, it all comes together despite the picture quality.  You can definitely just put it on and watch it, or work on something and just listen to it. It is worth the buy, especially if you love David Bowie.
+The most surreal narrative is "Bo! Bo! Bo!":  KRS One's lyrics find himself being rousted by police while on his morning jog; the confrontation turns ugly, and before he knows it, he's taking on several cops in a shootout, blacks out, then wakes up in a bookstore that apparently doubles as a headquarters for militants.  "World Peace" is a good closer to the album, with KRS advising banner-waving types that they need to be more aggressive if they really want to achieve their goals.  A re-release should include any available bonus material, including the superior remix to "You Must Learn".

+898	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	"Rock Is Dead...Long Live Rock". Truer words have never been spoken, as the debut from Velvet Revolver, "Contraband", is the best pure Rock 'N' Roll record in years. Ten years after Nirvana helped save the Rock 'N' Roll world from "Hair Metal", Scott Weiland, Slash, and the boys of VR have saved fans of Rock 'N' Roll from the sorry, no-account likes of Nickelback and Creed. This is what Hard Rock is all about, crunching guitar riffs, pounding bass and drums, and a voice that grabs your attention in a God-like way. From the opening strains of the album's opener, "Sucker Train Blues", it is immediately apparent that this, and not the myth that is Axl Rose's "Chinese Democracy", is the new Guns 'N' Roses. All of the a**-kicking riffs that made the Gunners so great, those created by Guitar God, Slash, are proof that it was the band, and not the voice, that made G 'N' R what it was. And when complimented by one of Rock's great vocalists, you have an album better than anyone could have hoped for. The second track, "Do It For The Kids", could well be the reasoning behind this meeting of musical minds, and the song's base riff is an absolute classic, with Slash's Gibson Les Paul, delivering blistering fills and solos. Next up is "Big Machine", which could well be Scott Weiland's life over the last ten years, summed up by the lyric, "All that first-class jet set brings me down. All that first-class drug s**t brings me down", and the song's musical base is held down by Duff McKagan's rumbling bass. The "Riff-Meister" Slash is at it again on "Headspace", and Mr. Scott's vocals are reminiscent of his best work with Stone Temple Pilots. And on "Slither", the first single, you have a song that sounds unlike anything on Rock Radio today. Even the album's ballads, if you want to call them that, are examples of how this group of musicians have matured and managed to overcome all of their various addictions, though they all battle them to this day. However, it remains to be seen if the group can maintain long enough to have the kind of future that was once hoped for Guns 'N' Roses, as this group has as volatile a front man as the Gunners did. But what sets this band apart from the two previous groups that the primary members played in, is that there is no real musical "style" that is leading Rock 'N' Roll today, as was the case in 1987, when the Gunners were lumped in with the "Hair Metal" crowd, and STP were thought to be a "Grunge" band. What those two bands were, as is the case here, was just pure, hard, Rock 'N' Roll music. No frills, here. Just grab you by the throat and kick you in the groin Rock 'N' Roll, the best of its kind in a long, long time. All hail the saviors that are the members of Velvet Revolver, as they have saved Rock 'N' Roll from becoming the cheesy, ClearChannel controlled piece of garbage that it was on its way to becoming.

However, for some reason, the music sounds better mastered than the voice here.  No doubting the quality of the track selections but perhaps it's time to look at remastering this to improve the voice levels.  Some tracks, especially the earlier ones have lower volume levels than the later tracks.  Still, if you are not too bothered about the sound quality, this is actually a very good place to find a representative sample of Ms. Schuur's work.

Unfortunately, the falsetto or high note that the oldest brother has to hit for many of the songs is hard to do and he fails more often than not. This is not a major problem, as the Bee Gees are basically a harmony-brothers type group, and they achieve harmony on every note.  I mention it in passing because purists who are used to studio productions, where acoustics are better and, more importantly, takes and re-takes are possible, might think these songs less than perfect.  They are, but that is the trade-off we happily make to see a concert recording with live production.

+Now, the center piece is of Weenie is by far "The Little House I Used to Live In", a suite of pieces recorded both live and in the studio that are welded together into a single 15 + minute piece.  Little House starts off with a piano introduction played by Ian Underwood, a sort of atonal "recital" type piece.  This segues into a kind of prog rock thing that reminds me of European folk dance music.  I swear, it sounds like 10,000 instruments playing in places here. There isn't a mellotron credited in the notes but it sure sounds like there is one present. This may just be the magic of the Wurlitzer organ that, at the time, was probably the most advanced piece of electronic equipment widely available for purchase (see Alice Coltrane to learn more about the Wurlitzer).  Any way, this wild folk piece has its own little interlude that all Zappa fans will recognize as "The Mudshark" theme, then it's back into that sort of East European folk-dance thing - I almost expect guys with big wool hats, boots, and handle-bar mustaches to come leaping into the room dancing about whenever this plays.  Ok, are you paying attention?  Because This piece then develops into a scorching blues violin intro by Don Sugarcane Harris for a jazz-rocker with a REALLY jazzy piano solo by Ian Underwood (playing as I type these words in fact). Then that violin just keeps coming back again and again, building in blistering intensity each time he comes back in to do his "Sugarcane" thing.  This is then followed by a wonderful ensemble interlude that has Zappa playing a wah-wah guitar over Don Preston playing harpsichord,Ian Underwood playing bassoon and Art Tripp on vibes.  It's a beautiful, dreamy little piece of music that some how works right along with the jazz blues piece before it.

If Frey and Henley weren't sharing a brain, they'd have seen that Felder was a major contributor to the success of the Eagles, but their arrogance has made them blind  (rich - yes, but blind).

I know that music is so personal, that we all have our favorite songs for everyone. But, for me, Being With You, is by far, not only Smokey's best hit, but one of the best hits in music history. Watching him, hearing him do this hit live, is emotionally satisfying. I count the world and myself as lucky to have this. An example, B.B King, never did on video, When The Blues Come Over Me. So sad, this is one of the greatest hits of all time. Powerfully emotional, significant in it's observation of life.

"The blues sneak up  behind, the blues wait up ahead, the blues ask why you were born, when you just wind up dead".

It's got a great melody and funny lyrics: 'she stripped away her rancid poncho...we did it till we were unconcho'. And Frank has little bits of guitar and George Duke plays lovely piano. Moving on to I'm the slime, a fantastic song about tv. Frank refers to it as 'a tool of the government ', he loved attacking governments . The band sound fabulous on this tune, we have Sal Marquez on trumpet, Bruce Fowler on trombone, ruth Underwood on percussion. There is super female backing singing which leads into one of Frank's greatest studio solos. You can hear every pluck of his plec, it is immaculately recorded. Tom Fowler's bass sounds great here too. Then we have the song 'Dirty Love' about poodlesand porno. More great lyrics from zappa, even if they're impossible to fathom:'i'll ignore your cheap aroma and your little bo-peep diploma i'll just put you in a coma with some dirty love'. The guitar solo is quite short but very good; it reminds me of jimi hendrix type playing. Then 50-50, which is very funky. It has a great vocal performance by the late ricky lancelotti. Pity he only did a few songs. Then 3 great solos. George on organ plays beautifully. He is followed by that maestro of electric violon John Luke Ponty. Ponty gives us a gorgeous solo, and the violin sound is lush. Finally a really brilliant Frank Zappa solo with some of his fastest ever playing. Watch your jaw drop! And the last bit of the song is great, when they wrap it with some frenetic playing. Zomby Woof is another belter. It has a very 'cartoony' sound and terrific female backing vocals. It is just so zany as a composition, especially the bit when you have 'reety alrighty the zomby woof'. Zappa has another great solo here, the guitar sound being very heavy. Dinah moe Humm is the funniest song , about whipping off girls bloomers and giving manual stimulation. More funkiness, great backing vocals again. A concert favourite in the seventies. Finally we have the awesome song, Montana. It's a hell of a thing. The lyrics are quite possibly the silliest lyrics Frank has ever come up with: 'i might be moving to Montana soon, just to raise me up some dental floss. ' They are great lyrics. The tune is a top tune, i love that B fowler trombone. Frank plays yet another beautiful guitar solo, probably the album's best solo.  There's an awesome bit in this solo where he brings it up to a higher pitch/key. This is one of his very finest guitar moments. Nobody has played such moving guitar as this. E nough, enough. Anyway, there's still lots of greatness after the solo finishes. There is more beautiful female chorus singing, from Tina Turner and co. :'i don't care if you think it's silly folks..' Frank winds up the song with his pygmy pony and zircon encrusted tweezer references, and kin vassey does some fantastic yippee aye ay singing to draw the album to a close. If you don't like this album, you're probably deaf. Thank you.

The songs on here aren't half as long as those contained on "Lateralus" and "Aenima" but they still have that distinct Tool attitude. "Sweat" is a great opener, it has great lyrics and is really energetic. "Hush" is one of those really short tracks, clocking in at under 3 minutes. My favorite song on the whole CD would have to be the title track, "Opiate." I mean, who can forget the chorus? (Deaf and dumb and blind and born to follow/What you need is someone strong to guide you) You can't go wrong with the Opiate EP, it may only be 6 tracks long, but it is definetly a worthy buy.

+Badfinger should have had a long, successful and prosperous career. They certainly had the talent, and they got the early breaks they needed: They were signed to Apple Records, and their first big hit, "Come And Get It," was written especially for them by Paul McCartney. Unfortunately, the young and (relatively) naive band members made some bad decisions along the way, their worst being putting their trust in a manager whose ethics would have made a weasel look good by comparison:  He chewed them up, spit them out and vanished in the night with their hard-earned money, but not before sabotaging Badfinger's relationship with two different record labels. The band's downward spiral couldn't have been more swift, or the end results more tragic. The story of Badfinger is one you're not likely to forget.

He has only 2 sound structures and makes a great guitarist sound alone and limited. The hard heavy songs all sound like a hundred year old Witch is singing and the so called ballads all start with this low pitch growling and then the chorus breaks into the evil witch sound, old and boring! I've only heard a couple of the many songs he sings really stand out the rest are white noise! No range, no style, a screamer with no point to it. All of these songs sound similar and muddled, they are average at best and I can only listen to him for maybe a few songs before putting it down for a long time before listening again.

That drove me nutso and I had to get that song!  But I decided to do more than dip my toe into the water and I chose instead to dive into Gerry Raffertys City To City.  What a great LP.  It not only has the wondermellow hit Baker Street but also Right Down the Line and the above par Home and Dry.  Nice tempos abound with a few more bits of sax thrown in here and there for good measure like on Island.  The whole affair is a laid back heels up turn.  4.5 stars.

+It's also in the spirit of the age; not the "Morning in America" Reagan era which critics usually pick up on; rather the age of synthesizers.  While politics come and go, overused synthesizers on a rock album remain forever awful.  That sound undeniably made the album a huge hit, but in retrospect make the album sound silly.  Fortunately there's enough guitar driven rock and roll that the synthesizers can be mostly overlooked as an excess of the mid-80s.
+9949	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This collection of David Bowie's best songs glitters, shakes, and rocks.  For starters, the "title cut" is one of the British legend's most superb compositions and the lone entry from the eccentric Hunky Dory album.  There is a lot of variety, which would have been still greater if not for a palpable decision to include many big disco numbers.  While "Fame" is not David's greatest moment and "Fashion" escapes mediocrity just barely through sarcastic lyrics and a few good beats, "Young Americans" and "Let's Dance" are gems, both punctuated by fine sax work (and fabulous singing, in the former).  "Modern Love" and "China Girl" are also somewhat disco-infused, but are more in the character of basic rock with a dramatic flavor.  Indeed, I love David when he is dramatic, and of course "Heroes" was a guaranteed inclusion.  On this score, however, a noteworthy omission from Scary Monsters is "Teenage Wildlife" with David's great singing.  Still, in addition to "Fashion," that album contributes "Ashes to Ashes" and its sentimentality.  "Ziggy Stardust" of course is here, as well as the stronger entry from that album, the hard-driving "Suffragette City."  David's greatest song is "Rebel Rebel" and therefore shines brightly even in a Hits collection. Credit is due for "Space Oddity" too.  A lot had to be left off here, because David has had so many Golden Years, but overall the song selection turns the trick.
+Paul returns (at LONG last) with the folksy "San Ferry Anne", which is probably one of the better tracks on the album, which makes it only OK, maybe pleasant at best. The underlying sax on the second half of the track is pretty distracting, but then again the song doesn't do much to reel you in the first place. FINALLY, after seemingly hours of anguish, the album concludes with "Warm And Beautiful", a piano-driven ballad by Paul, the type of which he's done too many times before and BETTER. The lyrics are insipid, the music trite and lazy, and ends the album on a frustratingly bad note.

+5184	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Although many TD fans seem to be divided into two camps, pre-'83 and post-'83, I confessedly like pretty well all of it. There are times when a good book and an album like "Zeit" go together, or there times when a long highway drive finds "Melrose" and some of it's likenesses more appealing. Favorite tracks "Dolls in the Shadow", "Art of Vision", and "Rolling Down Cahuenga" are good driving music, that you can still converse to with a passenger. This CD being the culmination of what TD's website calls, "The Melrose Years", they are characterized by prominent use of electronic percussion, to drive fairly simple yet memorable melodies along the way. The only thing that prevents me from giving "Melrose" a 5-star rating is the use of the electric guitar. Unlike almost everything else they do, I find the guitar solos a bit too abrasive for my middle-aged tastes. As a final note, if you want soemthing to travel with, "Melrose" is a good companion, along with "Optical race" and "Lily on the Beach".
+The duets they sing togther, starting with "Goin' Out of My Head" and ending with "Lady Is a Tramp" are, quite simply, perfect. These are obviously two singers who love working together, one only wishes they did so more often. The closing rendition of "Lady Is A Tramp" ranks as one of the best moments in the history of American popular song ever captured on film; I'm just glad the camera's were there to capture it.

The DVD runs about 90 minutes, with the first 25 minutes being a behind the scenes look at preparing for opening night and a brief behind the scenes tour of the Savoy Theatre.  The remaining 65 minutes is a very well done concert that includes "Yesterday When I Was Mad", "Go West", "Hello Spaceboy", "To Step Aside", "Discoteca", "The Theatre", a fun remix of "It's A Sin/I Will Survive" and of course "Somewhere".  Encore's include "Rent" and "Left to my Own Devices".  There are several other selections as well.  The due of Neil & Chris perform with the energetic Sylvia Mason-James who has remade some classic covers including "Touch Me In The Morning" (which is not on this DVD).  Critics of this concert claim it was lifeless and lacked energy.  In defense of the dynamic due of Euro-Pop, one must remember that the Pet Shop Boys probably do not have the bankroll of Cher or N'Sync.  Hence, the effects (be it lighting or other stage antics) is somewhat limited.  Unlike earlier concerts, this one failed to get 5 stars simply because, although it was extremely good, it didn't carry me to the next level.  I don't believe you will be disappointed with this very fine performance.  To be quite honest, I simply had to have it because it includes that fabulous Barbra Streisand song "Somewhere".  You need it for the same reason, plus the other classics like "The Theater"!

Memorable tunes, blazing guitar work (the livewire lead in dirty love and the highly tasty fretwork in montana), hilarious lyrics (the bawdy dinah mo hum), backing vocals done to perfection by tina turner, elements of jazz - in my opinion, as a rock album(s), it has few peers.

I got into Tool because I was tired of all the trendy music that is so prevalent today. It still seems like so many bands are tying to emulate the Seattle sound or they are foolishly following the silly trend of Rap/Rock. Thankfully, there are bands like Tool that do not follow trends. Rather, they are innovators and true artists who are willing to push the creative threshold of music.
+Before I'd gotten this album I had Red Sails on a compilation LP called Golden Years.  I thought it was one of the strangest tracks Bowie'd ever accomplished, until I got the rest of the album.  It does boast a surfer exploitation, but as I said before nothing on this album is exactly what it is, as this song carries a lot of influences.

+Overall, this is an album that has a little something for everyone. I don't know if it's better than the last Slash disc, but time will tell. I think this collaboration is just the beginning of something great. Slash, Kennedy, Fitz, and Kerns are a solid live band with great chemistry. I saw them live the last time around and they were great, so I look forward to seeing them again and hearing some of these new tunes live.

+'Wheels of Fire' is a must-have for dyed-in-the-wool fans of Cream, and especially fans of Jack Bruce who provides nearly all the vocals here, and pens five of the nine Cream tracks offered (4 of the 13 tracks are covers).

Drummer Baker has more of a presence, penning 4 tracks and offering a wide assortment of percussion instruments including glockenspiel (a small xylophone), timpani, and the high hat (foot pedal cymbals).

+9872	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Originally released in 1986, this is generally known as the Elvis Costello album that returned to the sound of his excellent 1978-80 era recordings with the Attractions.  Listening to the CD is somewhat different from the LP.  In many cases, artists (and perhaps even record companies) sequenced LP's to deliver a certain impact.  In the case of 'Blood and Chocolate', the first side (Tracks 1-5) was the edgier of the two.  All you need to do is listen to the first song, "Uncomplicated", and you get the message.  That is followed up by one of my favorite EC songs, "I Hope Your Happy Now", which I would rate as one Elvis' best.  This song is great because the lyrics and melody recall the heyday of 'Armed Forces', but also show a certain evolution of both Elvis and the Attractions.  Next is "Tokyo Storm Warning", which for some reason was marketed at the time as the main single off of the album.  Ending the first side was the great "I Want You".  Some major emotion on this one.  Even after multiple listens it never gets old.  From that point on the rest of the tracks are on the lackluster side.  Most are solid if not spectacular, although the second to last track, "Poor Napoleon", kind of drags things down.  For this reason I would rate the album at four stars.  Put into the context of the time, 'Blood and Chocolate' was a refreshing listen after the puzzling post-1981 output that was 'Almost Blue'+'Imperial Bedroom'+'Punch The Clock'+'Goodbye Cruel World' and the Attraction-less (except for one song) 'King of America'.  The second disc also contains some excellent material such as "Seven Day Weekend", "Baby's Got A Brand New Hairdo" (another song that recalls earlier recordings), and the previously unreleased "Leave My Kitten Alone".
+When you hear how polished "I Megaphone" sounds, it's surprising that Heap was only nineteen when it was made. The English musician (the title is an anagram of her name) takes a different musical road from 95% of the pop singers out there, opting for passion and enigma, mixed in with some strong vocals and a unique blend of pop, rock and electronica.
+4411	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	The voice of George Michael is probably one of the greatest in music history. Starting with Wham! and later with a successful solo career, Michael's transformation from teenage poster boy to a mature adult singer  happened in front of our eyes due to the growth of music videos during the  last 20 years.
+A lot of the songs are traditional ones that you'll hear on a lot of other Goddess-centered albums, but these are the most elegant, choral versions of them that you'll hear.  Also, this album is packed full of tracks, so it's a good buy.
+
+I personally don't like solo sax much and so it doesn't touch me as much as it seems to touch others, but even so I can see that the sax intro and other sax parts are electrifying. I respect this production choice because for so many people the sax is the only part of the song they identify and according to some reviews the sax bought most of that copious radio air-time in 1978. On the other hand, it's a shame to see this overstated sound overshadow the rest of the beautiful song in peoples' minds.

+Being a guitarist myself, my review comes mostly from a musician's point of view; but even if I weren't, I would still be amazed by this performance from beginning to end. The most awe-inspiring aspect of Vaughan was his ability to play so freely; the solos simply flowed out of him, and Eric Clapton perhaps put it best by saying that Vaughan was like an "open channel"; indeed, you never heard the same thing twice whenever Stevie played.

Sammy's having a blast, and Buddy Rich's band is absolutely kicking. It shows Davis as the great, dynamic front man that he was and substantiates all claims that he was way up there among the best and brightest America has produced. He makes every song here swing, his favorite thing. The controversial Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead cover just amplifies the swing theme- Sammy and the band make that song SWING with capital letters. The recording would not be complete without it. Overall, I'd take this CD to the deserted island, or put it into the cultural time capsule for other civilizations to dig. Both. Play it loud and often.

+"Pure & Easy" is one of the best songs Townshend ever wrote.  While I prefer the Who version on ODDS & SODs, Townshend does a great acoustic version here.

I will admit I was very late on the whole TOOL scene but after a  friend lent me UNDERTOW I was addicted to TOOL, I know have all three  albums. I believe that this is THE best TOOL album only just ahead of  UNDERTOW. Not only does it have great heavy neo-metal type songs such as  "STINKFIST" and "46&2" but entire album is filled  with great sounds and THE BEST VOCALS and lyrics by Keenan I have ever  heard. In all seriousness Keenan would have to be the best singer I have  ever heard not only can he sing loud and passionately but soft and  meaningful. This is no more evident in songs such as H. (a favourite) and  AENIMA.  The bottom line is THIS WHOLE ALBUM ROCKS, and with a catchy  intermission tune and the scary german song DIER VON SATAN "The eggs  of Satan" add to the wonderful feel of this album.

Lagwagon had been around awhile prior to this one and had some good releases, but this was when that "Epi-Fat" sound was really  breaking out and thus all the more compelling.  Very catchy tunes with  surprisingly witty, insightful lyrics in a power-pop-punk package make it  an irresistable recording.  It's a shame that they would go on to change  their sound and head toward a slicker, dumber Blink182 type sound.  Get  this one and remember pop-punk before the avalanche.

All of their albums are near perfect, and is simply some of the most powerful, smart, emotional, deep, and flawless music ever laid down. Only a few bands have amazed me as much: "Black Sabbath", "Pink Floyd", and "Soundgarden". I love each other album of theirs, but "Aenima" might be the best. My only complaint is that a third of the album are "interludes", non-songs that break it up, and are best heard only a few times. But the songs themselves are 5 star moving metal masterpieces.

+The problem many people have been having with this is that they feel somehow cheated because WMA (Windows Media Audio), recorded at 64 Kpbs, is NOT transferrable to Apple iPods. (Which only support MP3 - 128 Kpbs format - and Apple iTunes, which you must pay for to download.) So for the computer illiterate out there - people who buy this CD in hopes of ripping tracks to their iPod are out of luck. Most MP3 players do not support WMA files, either. Once copied to your hard drive, all Velvet Revolver tracks are totally "locked" - i.e., you can't edit them at all. I tried to put them through Switch (a freeware program that changes file formats - e.g. MP3 to WMA or WMA to MP3) and because I had installed the MediaMax file on my PC, it "detected" that I was trying to change the format of the track and didn't allow me to do so.

+After Guns 'N Roses recorded and released the commercial and critical bomb "The Spaghetti Incident", Axl Rose and his band mates had different ideas about where the band should be heading, so the original instrumentalists disbanded with Axl Rose while Rose hired new instrumentalists. Meanwhile, Slash, Duff, Matt Sorum, and Dave Kushner set out to find a new singer, and their search even chronicled on VH1's "The Project". As if the stars had aligned, the Stone Temple Pilots had recently recorded the rather  dull "Shangri-La-Dee-Da", which Scott Weiland was not very fond of, since it sounded more like a Barry Manilow album than the Grunge he originally was trying to do. So, after releasing the Greatest Hits compilation "Thank You", the Stone Temple Pilots officially disbanded. With Scott on the unemployed list, Slash and Weiland met in a club where they became fast friends. Then, after getting the band together, they immediately began jamming on a song that would eventually become "Slither". Around the radio's constant playing of "Slither" and all the buzz around this CD, will it hold up? Well, when you combine Guns 'N Roses style with the grungy sounds of Stone Temple Pilots, you get a combination that works throughout the album like a charm.

What's scandalous is the ignorance of so many of those same listeners (including musicians) who simply write Mel off, as though his voice were interchangeable with Chet Baker's or any singer with an "andrognyous" timbre.
+She has such a unique, otherworldly voice that she can sing anything and make it sound good. The songs she chose to perform for this concert are simple, powerful, catchy (not to mention downright beautiful), and when taken together show off Sarah at her best. This was one of her first albums where she contributed some of the music/lyrics herself, which gives it a very intimate, personal feel. Although there are so many songs on here I love, I selected out a few to elaborate my thoughts on.
+There are those who would say that the lyrics are occasionally obscure (I'm not sure how you get that--try figuring out the deeper meaning to Graceland and you'll see just how simple these songs are), or repetitive (welcome to Bruce Springsteen, or popular music in general for that matter), so if you expect not to enjoy the album, chances are that you'll be able to find an excuse not to.  Bruce Springsteen's singing, in and of itself, would probably be enough--he's not precisely the most talented vocalist in the history of music.  If, however, you're looking for an accessible album with a deeper, relatable and engaging message, look no further.  Born in the U.S.A. has my unconditional recommendation.
+Peppy, strong, and true to bluegrass roots.
+If you enjoy blues on the electric guitar and are prepared to be blown away, buy this album. All beginning blues players should check it out, too. Every song on "Reckless" (with the exception of the acoustic duet with son Bernard) is a heartfelt tour-de-force. I'm so glad Luther recorded this album before cancer took him from us. The song "I'm Back" is bittersweet to hear, because it wasn't long after that that he was gone....
+Taking the eleven tracks on the album as originally issued first, Sandy wrote eight of them herself. The other three are covers of a traditional folk ballad (Black waterside), a mid-tempo Bob Dylan song (Down in the flood) and one of Brenda Lee's rocking songs (Let's jump the broomstick), the last two breaking up the general flow of the album by being at a different tempo from the other tracks; you may either appreciate the contrast or be annoyed by it, depending on your taste. In any case, Sandy performs them well, proving she can sing more than just ballads although ballads are what she does best. As ever with Sandy's albums, it is her own songs that are the best but it's not easy to pick out highlights, but I'm inclined to agree with the writer of the liner notes, who picks out Next time around (allegedly about American singer-songwriter Jackson Frank), Crazy lady blues (allegedly about Linda Thompson). Still, there's not much to choose between all of Sandy's songs here where quality is concerned.
+  Combining the epic majesty of Pink Floyd and the heaviness of prime time Black Sabbath, Tool's "AEnima" is possibly the most strangely beautiful metal album I know of. Adam Jones's guitar can scream like a monster and sing like an angel, dripping with distortion and echo. Justin Chancellor plays both stomping basselines at the lowest part of the instrument's down-tuned range and clean, lyrical lead melodies nearer to the top. Danney Carey brings on pounding prog beats rich with intricate fills and tricky time signatures. The famous Maynard James Keenan's one-of-a-kind vox completes the formula, sorrowfully serenading one moment and bellowing with rage in the next. I think the contrasting of elements is a good stragey to making memorable music. "AEnima"'s juxtaposition of brutality against sweetness is an exhibit of that strategy executed perfectly.

It turned out to be a surprisingly good review of the recording of Aja. Firstly, it was mostly the Steely Dan musicians Fagen and Becker along with studio musicians that provided commentary on the album, unlike other album documentaries that have mainly outside commentary from music critics. Also, there's alot of footage of a reunion of sorts where they play the music. The bassist Chuck Rainey, who made a major contribution to the rhythmic feel of the album, plays some of his bass lines solo. Fagen and Becker also comment on the instrumentation and performance of Aja while seated at a studio control panel making adjustments to hear the music parts in isolation. This is the best classic rock documentary I've seen on DVD.

I have never been able to relax so fully and quickly with any of the previous CDs and tapes I've purchased over the years. But, more importantly, I realized that Ms. Shapiro's claim that it would be effective even during sleep was absolutely true. I wasn't even thinking about it, just doing something routine this morning, when a novel thought (for me) went through my head: "Not everyone is going to like me if I live out my life genuinely and express my truth, but that's okay." It took me a minute to realize that I've never before had the benefit of such a courageous outlook, and I've paid for it dearly in terms of my health, lack of productivity, and potential.

Hence, their fantastic light show is not rendered in all it's glory.  In video, the contrasty theatrical lighting blows out the video cameras and the heart and soul of the show take on an uneven visual presence.

+ First off, I heard some pretty bad things about this song beforehand; namely that it was a cheap, one-off similar to "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey"(which actually has its moments, I think), oh but nothing could be further from the truth; "Uncle Albert" is an innocuous song that blends styles and tempos, this one barrels straight at you and threatens to knock you off your seat! From the pounding opening chords on Paul's "boldly outspoken" piano(which continues through the entire song!), to the earthy backup vocals(which owe a bit of homage to Ray Charles' old backing group, the Raelettes) on the refrain of "don't get left behind", this is one of the best songs in Paul's repertoire.

And finally the two Guitar Gods met and held hands for over 8 minutes!  So, unlike the two sequels, at least this one was a promised gem with only a few warts.

Is ten dollars really that much money for a CD you are going to listen to over and over again? Anyways, about the album itself. All the songs are better than average, with around half or so being extremely good to great. Scott's voice fits the music nicely and Slash sounds great on lead (although I expected some longer and more memorable solos from the man who gave us the "November Rain" trio of great rock solos). If you like rock music, "Velvet Revolver," might once again make you a believer that good rock music will live as long as this band stays together. Hopefully for many rockin' years to come!

If you can have this music and listen to talented people with a taste for nostalgia and harmony, why don't you? It can stand next to the Jayhawks and Wilco (the other bands I do not know) and it's great fun to listen to. Buy it and warm your heart.

The band that has taken his name truly does that.  They offer some  beautiful melodies and nice contemporary music on acoustic guitars and  piano.  Songs like "Thankful" describe the glory with which God  should be exalted.  "Shifting Sand" caters to those times when we  have all felt our faith shifting.  "Table for Two" is about the  way God knows us so well for he created us.  "Climb On" tells us  to find someone who is strong to rely on - Jesus Christ!
+This is perhaps the single greatest American recording ever comitted to vinyl. I'll comment on each individual track later. Cheers, camels.
+5872	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I got this in from Japan before this was listed on Amazon. Listening to it, waves of goosebumps keep moving through me. What more need I say about the sound?
+Side "A" still starts off with "White Room," written by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown, and a song that features the power trio at their psychadelic best (you clearly have to be on drugs to make sense of the lyrics).  Then we skip ahead to the next Bruce & Brown song, "As You Said," which offers Eric Clapton on acoustic guitar.  The other biggie from the first disc is the cover of Albert King's "Born Under a Bad Sign," which offers one of Bruce's best vocal performances.  Then it is back to Bruce & Brown for "Deserted Cities of the Heart."  In case you have not figured out the common denominator here, the rule of thumb is to skip the songs co-written by Ginger Baker ("Passing the Time" starts off rather interesting and then goes off into the land of the glockenspiel), which means since I need one more track to account for most of what is here I will go back and throw in "Sitting on the Top of the World" because of the base line, even though it a bit like a high school band trying to learn how to play the blues at times. Actually, what I want to do is include "Anyone for Tennis," the song Clapton co-wrote for the film "The Savage Seven," but it is not on this particular version of "Wheels of Fire."  If it were, then substitute it for "Sitting."

+Do like Carlos Santana says, check out some Coltrane albums.
+
+3480	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I have been a fan of Carlos Santana for many years, after first listening to "Abraxas" and the mysterious sensual song "Black Magic Woman", his songs afterwards have impressed me and after seeing him in concert, I have to say he is an excellent musician who is passionate about his songs and music in general. I was very happily suprized with Supernatural.  Before I purchased this CD I was skeptical about some of the artists who appeared on the CD such as Wyclef Jean, Dave Matthews and Rob Thomas because I was unfamiliar with their musical style, however after listening to the CD, I became a fan of their music styles as well. This CD is classic Santana with the rythmical "colors of sound" in the background, the Latin-Spanish-Salsa blend of music, but it also incorporates the new sounds of Hip-Hop, a twist of R&B, Salsa, and fusion that make this truely remarkeable.  It was good to see Santana get the much deserved recognition he received from this album.  The man has been a pioneer of music for over 30 years and it is great to see a new generation of music lovers appreciate his unique style.  Highly, Highly recommended!
+7067	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	When I was in High School(in the late 70's) I inherited 'Odessey(sic)and Oracle' from my older sister. I immediately fell under the spell of the gorgeous and often haunting melodies therein. Somehow the magic pierced  through the many clicks, pops,and massive thumps of a much played album.  When I tried to obtain a fresh copy of the Zombies 'Odessey and Oracle', it  was out of print. However the selections were contained in Time of the  Zombies compilation. But unfortunately that album was also unavailable. It  seemed that all Zombies' material was lost and forgotten forever. It just  couldn't survive the Disco and Heavy Metal music of the 1970's.  And  through the next 15 years, it seemed that finding Zombies recordings was  like a quest for the Holy Grail or the Philosopher's Stone. Then in 1987  Rhino released Odessey and Oracle in Compact disc and vinyl form (I  purchased both)and See For Miles records released "The Zombies Singles  A's and B's". I was thrilled, but there was more of their music to  search out. So I bought many import collections (with seemingly endless  repeats of 'She's Not There' and 'Tell Her No' among others). I even bought  a Japanese import of 'Odessey and Oracle' just to get the 6 or 7 bonus  tracks.  So here we are with "Zombie Heaven".This box set saves  people in the new mellineum alot of time and money trying to find all of  the Zombies material with excellent sound quality. It even provides a  booklet that is a thorough chronology of the groups history.  My  favourites are the spooky 'I Remember When I Loved Her" (which  contains the neatest organ solo this side of Procol Harum's 'Shine On  Brightly'),  the shimmering 'Beechwood Park', the lofty rendition of  'Summertime' and the psychedelic 'Hung Up On a Dream'.My favourite rarities  are 'A Rose For Emily' (with cello and flute) and the their rendition of  Dusty Springfield's (whom I felt Colin had a vocal kindredship to) 'The  Look Of Love'.  "Zombie Heaven" is a long overdo testament to  the Zombies' place in the rock upper echelon. Many thanks to Art Palao for  doing such a fine job and to The Zombies for creating such fine music (and  cooperating with Art).
+1586	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	My DVD just arrived today and I wasted no time in watching it.  The quality isn't the best technically but the band makes up for it in their telling of their story.  It was very informative to discover how the band evolved from "just another rock 'n' roll band."  I remember the "Go Now!" days, how the group disappeared from the public scene in North America for a while, only to emerge with a totally different and very welcome image and style.

+US released 4 July 1995 - "Leon Russell" by LEON RUSSELL on The Right Stuff T2-34028 (Barcode 724383402823) is a straightforward CD Reissue and Remaster of the original 12-track version of his 1970 debut LP and plays out as follows (38:55 minutes):

+"We Are the Dead" becomes the expression of the culmination of these thoughts and anxious feelings perfectly executed by Bowie haunting lyrics.
+
+
+Also don't overlook the fact this piece also features the band with Dan Peek, and it was very nice to see the "whole group" again.
+Also, I think the "atonal apples" were Jack's radical bass notes (like using an F under a C chord), the "dogs' legs & feet" are Ginger's oh so cool slightly-lazy & off-beat drum hits (crotchet triplets?), and "amplified heat" has got to be Eric's blistering guitar.

+This is a great set, literally rescued from rust, with sound remixed by Bolan's (and Bowie's) producer Tony Visconti. It's all about having fun and being a rock star, with Ringo as your pal, and some terrific sing-along rock'n'roll. Baz Luhrman made Bolan's "Children of the Revolution" the center of "Moulin Rouge," his film about another era of decadence and excess, and Marc would have doubtless gotten a real kick out of it. If his head wasn't still stuck in Elton's piano, that is.

They went from slow, easygoing songs to more upbeat songs such as "Life in the Fastlane" and "Victim of Love" in this album. Of course "Hotel California" was  the biggest song of their career, but all of them are great.  Even the ones like "The Last Resort"  was a  good songs.

+After watching SRV rip through Texas Flood with the guitar strapped behind his back, he then proceeds to play "Love Struck Baby" with the guitar behind his neck without missing a note! Was there anything this guy could not do with a guitar?? I'm starting to think Stevie Ray Vaughan would sound better playing a solo with his feet than today's pop stars would sound after a million guitar lessons! Perhaps what makes this priceless performance required viewing for every music lover is how it represents everything that mainstream music should be in today's world but sadly is not any longer. Needless to say, this is not American Idol, Taylor Swift, or Britney Spears. This DVD is the REAL DEAL folks.

Some vocals, some instrumental soloing, with Toots taking the central place, of course.

+1847	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This DVD relates to a concert filmed in 1993 to promote EJ's then new album "The One".  Elton's voice was much better compared to the 2000 Concert in Madison Square Gardens DVD.  The tracklist is more interesting too as he has thrown is some rarities and some album tracks - whereas the 2002 Madison Square Gardens DVD is a Greatest Hits show.  The other highlight of this concert is that EJ sings all his songs. On the Madison Square Gardens concert 2000 he has alot of guests on stage helping out.  Ok, that's not such a bad thing, but when you go to see EJ, you want to see and hear EJ.
+I particularly liked their fresh takes on these classics, particularly It's Too Late, and So Far Away, and Carolina in my mind.
+9382	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Released in 1972 while The Who were at their creative and popular peak, Pete Townshend's debut solo album is completely different from his band recordings.  "Who Came First," is a gentle rocking, mostly accoustic tribute to Townshend's spiritual guide, the Meher Baba.  And while his lyrical love notes to Baba (particularly on the lengthy cut "Pavardigar") can a bit wearing to non-believers, the songwriting is, for the most part, first rate.  The album includes two solo verions of Who songs ("Pure and Easy" and "Let's See Action") that are actually BETTER than the subsequently released band versions.  Other excellent tunes include a cover song "Forever's No Time At All," a tribute to Pete's guitar "Sheraton Gibson," and the Ronnie Lane collaboration (sung by Lane) "Evolution."  The CD even includes a generous helping of bonus tracks that are almost as good as the original album material.

+Flight From Peru has a soft and quick beginning and then presents the mains theme.
+Overall I enjoy this work, but I have to say that Skillet could have removed a couple of these songs and replaced them with quality, less radio-friendly stuff. It just seems like they're reaching for success in the mainstream, rather than rocking like they know they can.
+The silly kid's sing-song intro piece quickly snaps into the dizzying "Dig That Groove Baby," about which I proffer this caution:
+7446	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	How many artists can say they released THREE STRAIGHT CLASSIC album? Not too many. But A Tribe Called Quest(and Public Enemy just to name one more)certainly did. I've said many times that 1993 was a tremendous year for hip hop, and this album is one of the reasons why. Midnight Marauders is CLASSIC, up there with their first two albums. They only got BETTER as the years went on, and they delivered their third straight classic. Here's the review:
+It is simply beautiful music for life. This CD should be heard by everyone who believes that deep down, life is a wonderful thing.

I then noted that the available music of hers is very limited. At that time, I was hoping that her recorded music would come into the public domain within a few years, but the European copyright laws have been changed and I don't expect I'll be buying CD's when Gale's music is released under the new laws. If I'm still alive, I'll be in my late 80's and probably contenting myself with what I already have.

+The Blenders have perfected the art of four part harmony.  Each song is filled with tight harmonies so intense they take your breath away.  And, while they make the songs there own, they don't mess around with them too much.  Which means you will recognize each song while you enjoy the harmonies.
+Among Costello devotees there is obviously a healthy, ongoing debate as to which albums deserve "classic" status. By & large, most agree Imperial Bedroom is on that list.  The Costello admirers who hoist their fickle disdain on the likes of "Man Out Of Time" are few & far between. The fact that legendary Jazz trumpet great, Chet Baker covered "Almost Blue" to his dying day might also make one think twice as to it's merit.
+Joe Cocker is backed by an incredible band and all I can say is that the performance, in terms of both sound and picture quality, is fantastic!! This DVD is on the level of "The wall in Berlin" and Diana Krall's jazz concert in Paris. If you love classic rock this is for you!!

+
+It's hard to have a bad day listening to the Beach Boys'.  If you're old enough to remember even a single song of theirs playing on the radio, you'll be intrigued with this album.
+Lauper is just about my age, and I like to think of her as actually being a bridge between the 60s generation and the MTV kids.  Unlike Madonna and, say, Michael Jackson, her dance moves were the often ungainly and reminiscent of hippie style spazz dancing.  Her thrift store chic, considered to be quintessential 80s, certainly had its 60s antecedents too.  And in keeping with the 60s ethos (and opposed to the--admittedly somewhat ironic--stance of the "material girl"), she had to admit that, yeah, money did change everything, but her wailing on the track referenced (and on the live version included here) suggests that she was none too happy about that fact.
+The album actually began with 3 of the first 4 tracks being lighter and less serious than expected (excluding "I Go To Work" of course), but even these songs have messages denouncing women's materialistic ways, and declaring he wants a woman with a strong mind and personality. "I Go To Work," if you didn't know, is one of the best songs of his career. This one has superb lyrics covering his approach to this craft and some battle rhymes (KMD is one of the all-time greats at battling). I usually prefer mellow music, but "I Go To Work" just gets me AMPED! Otherwise, the remaining six tracks are all serious and brilliant in their own ways. Still, the highlights out of these are the title track (great rhymes promoting intellect and study), "Get The Picture," "I'm Blowing Up," and the last "Pump Your Fist"(promoting black pride and denouncing drugs; a true gem from this era). You will have to listen to all these over and over to catch everything.

Guns n Roses were one of the bands that turned my ear in the rock direction, leading me to weave my way through virtually anything recorded with guitars.

+5702	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This disc is a lot of fun to listen to.  It was made as Miles was progressively improving.  As one of the four recordings made by the group in a two day span, it's amazing how concentrated this effort is.  Coltrane sounds amazing as usual, and Red Garland's astounding use of the left hand is prominent also.  Paul Chambers sounds wonderful with a great bass sound we've all come to know, and Philly Joe's drumming is full of energy.  There's a very nice version of "My Funny Valentine" here, complete with Miles's custom harmon mute.  I felt Miles recorded the tune better later on, however this is also classic.  "Blues By Five", a Garland tune, is a well known classic where everybody just jams.  I love Miles's solo here, a perfect example of how he can take some simple improvisational ideas and make them amazing.  I recall once in a 7th Grade Jazz Band I was soloing on the tune "Blues By Five" but did not play in the chord too well, the director told me to try again in rehearsal, so I just played Miles's exact solo note for note.  He said that was "better".  Such great memories come with this disc.  Then there is a crazy version of Sonny Rollins's "Airegin", which is Nigeria spelled backwards.  This tune was never one of my favorites, but Miles and the group do a great job with it.  The best is saved for last, the medley of "Tune Up" and Benny Carter's classic "When The Lights Are Low".  What motivated these guys to record these two tunes in one track still beats me, but it sure sounds great.  You can't beat interaction this good.
+While offering some distinct composition transitions to the classical arena, too much of YS gets lumped into that general haze of atonal intellectualism plaguing so much modern fare.
+I actually prefer Walter Becker's guitar playing over some of the stuff on the old records.  When they would have studio musicians come in and play solos for a day or two, they would play great solos, but they wouldn't necessarily be familiar with all the nuances in the songs.  With Becker playing more lead material, the fills especially seem to match with the other parts in some really interesting ways.  His playing is blues-based, but with a twist.

There's a reason the TSO is becoming one of America's favorites. The music is a combination of pomp and circumstance with rock as well as having singers bringing the soul you would expect from an R&B album (a few songs).

And every single person I have lent it two has totally flipped over it.  I have two friends now who have one of my old copies that I lent them.  These are guys that I regularly lend music to and borrow music from-- a lot of CDs get borrowed and faithfully returned between us.  But neither returned the copy of "Anthem to Beauty" that I lent them.  And I didn't have the heart to ask for them back.  One of the guys mentioned that he still had my "Anthem to Beauty" a couple of years after I lent it to him and I just told him don't worry about it--I have another one.  And, I recently lent another copy of it to someone who has been conspicuously slow to return it, so I'm buying myself yet another copy.  So yeah, I think you should get this.

This is an intelligent album, rich in complex content in every way.  Can  sort of understand why it may be a disappointment to some--it definitely  doesn't "rock," rather it calls on the listener to really listen.  As for the lyrics, they are very clever in their use of the language, but  I guess I'm a little tired of the Runaway Janie riff, a la Hey 19 (just  celebrated my 14th anniversary ... been a while since my last crazy  relatinship, thank God).  For my taste, a little too much  bobo/seinfeld/woody allen sensibility on this album (What a Shame and  Cousin Dupree being the exceptions).  But I definitely overlook that for  the great overall artistic experience.

+1300	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	If David Gilmour's music had evidenced this kind of vision for the last decade and a half, he might have immunized himself from the scorn of those who thought Pink Floyd suffered a beheading when Roger Waters departed. Gilmour has absolutely reinvigorated many of these songs. Some are performed with substantially new arrangements for the very first time, no longer suffocated by Gilmour's almost military precision during Pink Floyd's last two tours. Gilmour even includes two songs from Syd Barrett's solo repertoire, "Terrapin" and "Dominoes," preserving their surreal playfulness without succumbing to the frustration and anxiety that pervade Barrett's own recordings. Most refreshing of all, Pink Floyd classics such as "Comfortably Numb," which has never sounded quite right without a united Floyd, finally bloom under the stewardship of a band capable of recapturing some elusive but essential qualities of the original recordings. This great song has suffered endless failed makeovers, including execrable vocals by Van Morrison in Berlin and Bruce Hornsby in Seville as well as Gilmour's soulless arrangement from 1984 to 1994 that sounds in retrospect not altogether unlike grunge metal. The versions on this DVD begin at a slow, sedate pace that should transfix listeners of such bands as the Grateful Dead and the Cowboy Junkies. Each features a different vocalist substituting for Roger Waters. I slightly favor Bob Geldof, whose starring role in The Wall film certainly bolsters his credibility here, but both successfully execute the hushed expressiveness that characterizes Waters' vocals. The atmosphere unravels as it was intended, fraught with trepidation in the beginning, anasthetized on a cushion of air when Gilmour's chorus melts the tension, and soaring above everything once Gilmour unleashes the greatest guitar solo ever played, which always sounds as though it wants to continue wailing forever.

Songs on this album show Tool's earlier and harder music they wrote back then, though they matured later on (for the better I think). But Maynard's lyrics are were still supereb at the start (and sometimes funny on this one)...not as good as Aenima's or Undertow's, but these lyrics are a little more straight forward. Anyway if you call yourself Tool fan you must have this album. All in all an underated Tool album that has earned respect...so RESPECT IT..haha

+Gilmour is quite possibly the most expressive guitarist on the planet today, with his extravagant string bending and fluid fingerwork.  His blues feel has infused PF's work through the years, and is nowhere more evident than here.  The repertoire on these concerts plays up the anthemic nature of each piece, taken at a moderately relaxed pace and sung with palpable emotion.  Although the band is acoustic, these songs develop real power from their emotion and beauty. Far from "rock 'n roll," the presentation here is almost 'modern classical music' -- with occasional wailin' Les Paul.

This is obviously "remastered" from a not-too clean vinyl pressing, with little attempt to disguise the turntable rumble, clicks and pops, and distortion due to wear. Worse, the CD case was shattered when I received it, though Amazon thoughtfully included another broken CD case that combined made a semi-functional case. I've read on the firesign newsgroup that at least one other person received a broken case from another retailer, so I suspect that the fault likes with Evangenline Records.

+I know there's a DVD out there and they're asking silly money for it (at the time of writing this review, someone's asking a grand). According to reviews, the DVD is a vast improvement over the tape and even adds content not found on it- The tape is heavily edited, even the drum solo is skillfully interrupted (but not so that I can't tell) a minute after Lucky asks the guy to wrap it up and he's so taken away playing with eyes closed and doesn't see him.
+"I hope you're satisfied with what you've done." That opening line sets the tone of "Uncomplicated," and the oncoming barrage for the album. EC unleashes wave after wave of vitriol backed by The Attractions' and Lowe's artful distortion. The distorted sound matches the emotional content of many of the songs, and one of Elvis' most brilliant performances of all time is here. On "I Want You," he drags you into a hellish confrontation that moves at half the album's general pace. With more than a passing nod to John Lennon and The Beatles' song of the same name, Elvis vents with derisive passion, till the sounds slowly drop away and with little more than the sound of him deeply breathing the title over and over, the song comes to a close.

+4705	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	"Steely Who?" was a commonly heard phrase on Grammy night after Steely Dan's Grammy sweep, uttered, undoubtedly, most often by shallow music fans weaned on the likes of Eminem, who couldn't appreciate good music if it blared from their steroes above the threshold of pain. And good music is what Two Against Nature is. Though not nearly as melodic as their 70's work, the songs on this album are perfectly arranged and structured and professionally and maturely played. The lyrics of Steely Dan are just as malicious here as ever, though in a somewhat subtler fashion (Cousin Dupree being an obvious exception, however.) Rather than relying so much on melodies, the music on this album brances out from past Steely Dan records by an expansive of the electric guitar from Walter Becker, who has really come into his own (rather than allowing sessionists to do most of the work for him), he has several excellent guitar solos on this album. Becker contributes some awesome basslines as well. Also prominent are several superior saxophone solos, particularly the closing sax solo on West of Hollywood ranks as one of the best I've heard in years in the rock format. The best tracks here are Cousin Dupree and Jack of Speed, though there are no weak ones. This really holds together quite well as an album, rather than as a collection of individual tracks. The only bad thing I can point out about this album is that Donald Fagen's voice is not what it used to be. I don't know if it has weathered with age, or if he has simply changed his style. It's not bad, but I miss the caustic, smart-alec posturings of his 70's vocal stylings. However, this doesn't bring the album down. The arrangements are spot-on, the playing is stellar, the lyrics are clever, and it is immaculately produced. Buy this if you have missed Steely Dan the last 20 years, or if you're eager to answer the question "Steely Who?"

+The album blows the top off again with You're The Biggest Thing Since Powdered Milk. The track starts off with a drum solo from Ray Phillips however the mix on the drums seems a little odd and this was probably something the band did in its live shows and decided to incorporate here, it's a little dated but when Bourge's guitar breaks the door down right on the spot it automatically whips this song into a true jewel. The guitar has an electric crunch that is pure heavy metal and if you don't find yourself moved you're listening to the wrong music. There's some real powerful and exciting lead work throughout the middle that just builds up until it really takes off half way through with a more quicker pace and a more serious and darker tone with some truly razor edge riffs. The bass and guitar is pure adrenaline charged rock, it stands as one of their very best, taking Budgie to a new level.  Next up is the stomping mid tempo rocker In The Grip Of A Tyrefitter's Hand. It's a must hear and features some nice atmospheric hard rock. Riding My Nightmare is another mystical folk strummer that has some nicely done harmonies, it's probably the very best "slow" song Budgie ever did. The album closes on an epic note, not with a rocker but with a 10 minute concept piece called Parents. A mix of acoustic and electric slow paced riffing punctuates this song and it features some interesting lyrics and ongoing musical structure. This albums remains the most known in the bands catalog because of its classic masterwork song and presumably the stunning album artwork done by Roger Dean. It's pretty neck and neck but it's safe to say this is Budgie's finest hour. Where as the debut had a great chunk of raw ripping songs, they had that jam type style that Sabbath's first record at times did. The band has a more solid direction on these songs. And of course Parents really escalates them above everything they had done at this point.  It's a nice leap forward from the more down and dirty blue collar heavy metal of the first 2 records and while it didn't make Budgie stars, its safe to say the album belongs up there with Paranoid and Machinehead as one of the most influential to early 80s Brit metal heads who in turn opened the doors for the US speed bands to really break heavy music into the popular conscious. It's an essential.

+British pop music from the Beatles had two major strands, the pop orientated Beatles and the R'n'B represented by the Rolling Stones. It was this branch that brought some of the best US blues based music to a British audiences and led to a growing interest in the blues.

It is good and was better than their previous album, Milagro, but Abraxas or Caravanserai this is not. In hindsight, this was an excellent marketing success and is one of those albums (Hootie and the Blowfish's Cracked Rear View is another one) that isn't as good as its massive sales would indicate. However, it introduced Santana to a new generation and that is always a good thing. The most glaring highlight is "Smooth", the band's collaboration with Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20, which was one of the best songs of the decade, bar none. This song has aged so well and it still sounds fantastic. You can't say the same about the other #1 hit on the album, "Maria Maria", which is just a song (if you can call it that) of its time and it amazes me that this was a hit. Most of the other guest spots work well, especially "Put Your Lights On" and "Wishing It Was", which were recorded with Everlast and Eagle-Eye Cherry respectively. "Love of My Life", recorded with Dave Matthews, is okay but really catches fire at the end and "Do You Like The Way" is decent as well, and Carlos' guitar is fantastic on this track. As for the more typical Santana tracks, the opening "Da Le Taleo" is a killer and the brief percussion/horns workout near its end is awesome while the reflective "El Farol" is also very good. "Primavera" is decent while the closing track "The Calling" (but not instrumental as its Grammy award would indicate) has some tasty guitar playing from Carlos and Eric Clapton. Supernatural was a success and brought Santana a lot of new fans and long overdue Grammys but if you want to hear the best of Santana, hit anything from 1969-1976.

What a lot of people who are against alcohol don't realize is that the drinking songs are just a facade for the fact that Thorogood introduced the majority of the rock audience to the music's blues roots. The best songs on this album are "Madison Blues and "Ride On Josephine", the latter of which is a Bo Diddley cover. Being that I don't drink, I feel that the aforementioned songs will be remembered long after "I Drink Alone" and "(If You Don't Start Drinkin') I'm Gonna Leave" have faded out of memory. This album is the first place to discover George Thorogood and his great, rootsy band.

+The Animals went through many personnel changes, the only constant being Eric Burdon. The original Animals is viewed as bing the best but later versions of the group did some worthy things also. The original Animals music was a mixed affair musically. They viewed themselves as a blues based group, that was what they attempted to do; but Mickey Most, manager & producer, saw them as being a more commercial act. Between the label & Most many songs were forced on them that they didn't want to do. This would include almost every single that they recorded that wasn't written by any group members. And even though they had successful hit singles, this wasn't what they really wanted to do.

+7070	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	The ingredients that make this such a great CD are the powerful vocals of Etta James, a tight group of musicians, talented backing vocals, some great songs, and all under the masterful hand of Jerry Wexler. Etta has a controlled thunderous voice, powerful but never screeching or overreaching. She does a definitive version of Piece of My Heart. Sorry Janis, but this lady sings without the histrionics. The songs set the narrative for a woman dealing with despair, defiance, vunerability, and love. Only Women Bleed is a raw, uncomfortable and too personal experience. She takes us to church to testify with an electrifying choir on Strange man. Deep in the night takes us to that lonely experience at 3:00 in the morning thinking back on past loves. Blind Girl tells of that desperate attempt to ignore the truth and hang on to a cheating lover. Etta can wring such emotion from that roller coaster song of truth and illusion. I admit, Sugar on the Floor I do not really get. If I could choose just one Etta James CD, this would be it. She teamed up once more with Jerry Wexler for Right Time, but somehow the magic was not there.

+These recordings are gleaned from Young's May 29, 1999 solo appearance at the 2,000 seat Bass Concert Hall on the campus of the University of Texas.  The filming has a very simplistic and classy feel to it... Neil surrounded by a crescent of acoustic guitars, a pump organ and piano.  A trio of lights illuminate the performer, and the camera's provide only close-ups, and direct and angled shots from the foot of the stage.  Young appears to be creating a set list from the seat of his pants, and this prompts numerous requests from the crowd... that is until a lone and timely "SHUT-UP" is reinforced by crowd applause, and an already reserved audience becomes reverant.  Suffice it to say that the 'atmosphere' of the concert is a joy to behold in this age of "I paid, I can yell whenever and whatever I want" mentality.
+7836	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is my all-time favorite Christmas album! Because I teach so much Christmas music, I really enjoy a different take on the carols, and this is certainly right up my alley! A few people have told me they don't like the fact that some of the carols are so unusual, but I love this album! "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Carol of the Bells" are definitely upbeat and non-traditional (and GREAT!!!) arrangements, but "O Come O Come Emmanuel", "The Holly and the Ivy", "Greensleeves", and "O Holy Night"  are achingly beautiful. "Traditions of Christmas" is a Chip Davis original, and is sweet and cozy. "Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming" and "In Dulci Jublio" would be at home on a classical album, while "Carol of the Bells" rocks. Each piece is given its own individual treatment, so the album plays almost like a compilation. Far superior to the more-recent "Christmas in the Aire", I give "A Fresh Aire Christmas" my highest recommendation!

+8648	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	A laboratory of experiments inspired by the paranoia of George Orwell's 1984 and William Burroughs' collage writing style. Bowie blows a maniacal saxophone and runs his vocal tracks through synthesizers that distort and bend it beyond recognition. It comes off like a post-nuclear holocaust, Anthony Newley musical. One of the most bold and original rock recordings ever. "If you want it, boyz, get it here then."
+Unfortunately, I'm not as fond of the rest of the album.  I like it, and often it hits the spot, but it really doesn't grab me all that much.  It is up-beat and energetic, but does not have the exceptional artistry and profundity of the two great songs.  I'd give the rest of the album 3+ stars, which averaged with the two gems brings it up to a 4.

Perhaps it is because of period equipment, but I really dig Zappa's playing here.

+Throughout this album, Bowie creates a dissonant, dark, and yet, appealing atmosphere with some strong help from ambient synthesizer expert Brian Eno. I will admit I'm not exactly sure why it was called "Low". Perhaps it had to do with Bowie's emotional "Low" while doing dangerous levels of Heroin with friend Iggy Pop. This was possibly due to his dying fascination with American culture. Arguably this is his best album.
+The last song, "Opiate", is perhaps the most different of the group.  This song feels like grunge, or at least blues-influence rock, and is calmer than the other songs on the CD.  This song is also the longest song on the CD, and feels like progressive with occasional alternative influences in addition to metal.  There are occasional flashes of thrash metal on this song, but it remains a harbinger of Tool's later CDs where the progressive became more predominant.  This song does have a somewhat acid-rock ending, which is fitting since Tool's music often seems to have a strong retro influence.

+612	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	This was the Bruce Springsteen album that made him a mega-star.  "Born to Run" and the two that followed it, "Darkness on the Edge of Town," and "The River" turned a small cult into a huge cult, but this is the album that made Bruce a household name. With "Nebraska," Bruce made a definitive turn in his career into becoming a different sort of artist. The cult largely followed him into this obsessive private little world of murder and desperation, in which the joy of "Rosalita" or "Out in the Street" seemed remote and unreachable. But Bruce knew the fans yearned for him to rock again with his great band.  "Born in the U.S.A." was the result.
+We all know and love the original version (that included a beautiful painting as poster by Mike McInnerny) that has NOT been included in the package since the LP of 1972. And the fantastic songs:  "Pure & Easy" "Let's See Action" "Time Is Passing" "Sheraton Gibson" & "Parvardigar." The demo version of "The Seeker" and the wonderful tune "Sleeping Dog" are also worth notice.

+Unfortunately, this is only dolby sound, as surround sound came much later, but it sure beats anything of that time period.  Highlights are "Knights In White Satin" and "Question".  Lighting is perfect and the orchestral introduction and Graeme Edge's vocal readings are superb!  No typical DVD extras.
+The band revisits the Mothers with a wordless "Cruisin' For Burgers," then an exercise in music appreciation with a very beautiful instrumental later retitled "Lather." The title here is something you would expect to hear in a hard-core porno film, but it seems he tested his audiences in these cases. If you read such a title, and still proceed to the music and enjoy it, it succeeds on its own terms. Or, he did it to irk those people who cringe at these things. His whole career has been a thumb in the eye of those busybodies who jailed him back in 1965 on a bogus trumped-up obscenity charge by California's Vice Squad for something so stupid, it doesn't even merit retelling here.

+7063	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I think this CD is absolutely the best buy for your dollar.  On it are a variety of bluegrass songs, something for everyone.  If you are, like me, not familiar with some of the band/performers names that you see in the  music store, these CD's will help you decide which artists you like enough  to buy the whole CD's.  One of my favorites is Blue Eyed Boston Boy, just  love the harmony and the fact that the instrumental portions of the song  are sparse, letting you concentrate much more on the lyrics.  River of  Jordan has always been a favorite of mine, and there are several others.  There are a few, but only a few, cuts on the CD's that are hard to listen  too (some of the vocals) but the instrumental parts of the songs are  amazingly done.  Some of my very favorites:  Ricky Skaggs, Lynn Morris,  Laurie Lewis, Claire Lynch, Tony Rice and Allison Kraus are featured on  these CD's.  Really, it's a great introduction to bluegrass or a nice  addition to any collection.
+4740	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album stands up to repeated listening very well.  Just like Steely Dan from back in the day.  Musically, this is very much a part of the Steely Dan canon- a logical continuation of their last studio recording 20  years ago.  Given the current popular music climate, this is an extremely  perverse move.  If however, you are looking for "Reelin' in the  Years," this isn't it.  Musically similar to Goucho, it is  nevertheless lyrically sharper.  The Dan sound evolved and became more  polished as the seventies progressed.  Fans seem to select their favorite  moment from an artist's career and then judge all subsequent work to that  moment.  This is a good enough album that it deserves to be judged on its  own merits.  Of course there are killer session musicians here but what's  really encouraging is that Becker and Fagen have improved with age.  "What a Shame" is just perfection in every detail, and unlike  most of the pablum served up by the music industry today, there are lots of  details.

+The closing track from the original release, "The Dead Next Door"  is a jaw-dropping ethereal gem of a song. In many ways the best song of the album, this is quite capable of giving you goosebumps.

+"The Wedding Album" was the BIGGEST rip-off I ever experienced as a Beatles fan and purchaser of all things Beatle.  When this album came out in 1969 it was priced HIGHER than a regular album because it was a big box!  The graphics for this product HAD to cost more than the recording costs.  The recording part of this project was interminable and amateurish.  Feel like hearing John & Yoko calling each other by their first names for a half hour?  Feel like hearing "home audio" of every inane bit of their "bed-in for peace?"

But, over half of the pieces on this record are by medieval composers OTHER than Fraulein Hildegard. So, the emphasis of the album is much more on 'Chants for the Feast of St. Ursula' than on Hildegard.

While your at it, you might want to pick up some CD's with Springsteen's live performances of these songs. Live Springsteen is legendary. I have seen the Boss perform live.

+3645	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	There are several concert DVDs currently available for the Moody Blues, but this is the one I find to be the most satisfying - much more so than the others.  Why?  For one thing it's the only DVD that features the 5-man line-up that made them famous, i.e. the line-up of their first seven albums.  This is a "warts and all" one-take performance, and I prefer those to the overly polished concerts of the more modern DVDs.  More recent Moody Blues DVD concerts have two drummers, and while the second drummer does a great job, this DVD shows the band performing as they did during the peak of their fame - and I feel drummer Graeme Edge does an outstanding job on his own.

+I hadn't heard this album in years and just gave a listen, damn if there isn't some fantastic fusion inflected rock to be found there-in. I'd forgotten how creative the music and arrangements are.  Great drumming by Ralph Humphries, the excellent keyboards of George Duke, Ruth Underwoods lightning marimba and violin courtesy of John Luc Ponty.  Not to mention the marvelous bass and horn players and some of Zappa's most smoking leads ever.  What a great tone he has on this album - excellent wah playing (waka jawaka).  I love his distorted leads on "Zomby Woof," and of course "Moving to Montana," a song about a gentleman dental floss farmer.  Its silly sure, buts its funny and has great instrumental bits and melody.  Humor and real instrumental muscle equals essential Zappa.

The title track was co-opted by Reagan in one of  the lowest moments of an extremely low presidency.  It was vastly misread  all over the map--liberals called it patriotic jingoism, conservatives  called it anti-US propaganda.  It was, of course, neither, but the story of  one Viet Nam Vet who gets lost in the shuffle after the war.  The anthemic  chorus is highly ironic, indeed, but it's not mocking anybody: It's just  angry.  This is angry music, for all of its big beat and hooky melody; it's  not the comedown that some of his fans thought it was, but truly  intelligent rock music as had not been made since the days of Dylan and the  Band.
+I bought them and brought them to my house. The first song on MMATW was Tiny Dancer. It is about Bernie's wife and believe it or not she was a dancer! After that beautiful song I heard Levon.

We all need to remember that just about any type of footage of the Who live while Moon was still around is almost priceless to any Who fan.  Yes, the songs here appear out of order, some songs are even incomplete, and the cameras don't always capture all the shots you would want, but this is the original Who live.  Not just live, but live when they were at their peak before recording their best album Who's Next.  They played an incredible show at the Isle of Wight, and while this DVD may not have the complete concert, at least it has most of it and at least the sound is great.  Well, Entwistle's bass could have been mixed louder but Keith and Pete are on fire and so is Roger.  "Heaven and Hell," "My Generation," "Water," "Young Man Blues," "Summertime Blues," "I Can't Explain," "Christmas," "I'm Free," "See Me Feel Me," "I Don't Know Myself," "Pinball Wizard," "The Acid Queen," and "Fiddle About" are all phenomenal performances.  Sometimes you need to forget about some of the poor camera angles and just get lost in the music.  The camera angles aren't terrible anyway because every member gets a good amount of camera time.  Well, maybe not Entwistle but he is still shown.  The CD version includes all the complete performances and is a good companion to the DVD.  I have a feeling that this DVD will eventually include all the songs that the Who performed that night.  It's the same thing with regular movie DVDs since they first only feature no special features and then they decide to feature them two years later and then more the following year.  A new version of this DVD just came out with "Substitute" and "Naked Eye" and bonus tracks.  There will probably be more added footage soon.  For now though, this is an excellent DVD for any Who fan, and so far it is the only film CONCERT featuring John, Pete, Keith, and Roger.  Also, the interview with Pete is excellent.

Ruth Underwood who, during what must have ultimately become Echidna's Art, was intent on running around on-stage between a small trap set, a marimba, and a set of tuned cowbells (this release does not need "more cowbell").  "Ladies and Gentlemen, watch Ruth!  All through this film, Ruth has been wondering, 'what can I possibly do to amaze everyone? ' Just keep your eye on her, I think she's come up with the answer."  I love hearing Zappa say that because I can clearly remember just how fascinating it was watching this woman in performance.

+283	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	I bought this CD a little over a month ago,and will admit I was in no rush when it first came out. Vicious Cycle was good,but too long of an album. God & Guns was a good step forward,but LOADB is really great and well rounded. It really does have a great vibe to the album,and the songs are really good. It's one of my newer faves along with Edge Of Forever. My one question though,is why doesn't Michael Cartelleone play drums on any of Skynyrds studio albums? It's amazing what you find out when you read the liner notes. For all of the member changes and misfortunes,it's a shame that Artimus Pyle isn't in the band drumming anymore. At this point I'm just going to enjoy modern day Skynyrd for what it is,as long as it's real and has soul to it. Thank God for the remastered versions of the classic albums too.
+In a totally different vein, the Eagles catalog as a whole also carries some cultural value. Their work captures a significant California subculture of the 1970s.  Aja by Steely Dan tackles different facets of California at that time.
+Actually, I do agree with  some reviews who mark this as the beginning of the end for Elvis.  Although  "Imperial Bedroom", "King Of America" and "Painted  From Memory" have been stunning returns to form, it's been mostly  downhill for Elvis after this album.

+4827	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	In a colorful but idle sequence with Sammy Davis, Jr., our Nance is surrounded by whirling lights, a hot song and Sammy shaking his groove thing, but Nancy herself looks uneasy. I blame this on director Jack Hayley, Jr., who combines frenetic set-ups with his sleepy pacing. The songs are great, Nancy looks terrific, her bit with father Frank is warm, but I wanted this hot chick to slip into high gear. "Movin'" doesn't cook, but it does simmer nicely.
+Of course, once I had enough loose change I bought the album and promptly proceeded to play the first side about five times as often as I flipped it over and played side two; having the CD means I tend to listen to the whole thing all the way through. I would argue that "Tiny Dancer," "Levon," "Razor Face," and "Madman Across the Water" equals the best side of any Elton John record. I also used the title track as part of a poetry unit for English class (ah, those liberal days of yore). The movie "Almost Famous" has made "Tiny Dancer" popular again, but anybody who listens to this CD is going to find out there are some other great songs too. In addition to John's music and Bernie Taupin's lyrics, I think credit has to be given to Paul Buckmaster, whose sweeping string arrangements never worked better in giving John's songs color and depth. "Madman Acros the Water" is Elton John's darkest album, although it is more a sense of brooding and forboding rather than anger.

Better yet, my advice is to listen to this recording BEFORE enjoying the live performance.  Given the British accent and some questionable acoustics, one can miss important chunks of lyrics in a theater setting.  If you close your eyes while listening to this recording, you can even visualize the dancing.

It's very exciting both musically and visually, even in the edited format on the tape, but the excitement and enjoyment are a bit lessened knowing that this isn't the full show.  Quite a few songs they performed at that exciting concert in the wee hours of the morning are cut out (such as the opener, "Heaven and Hell," and "Naked Eye"), most notably a good portion of the 'Tommy' set.  Only 13 songs from the rock opera are on this video, and even some of them, like "Eyesight to the Blind," aren't presented in their full-length glory.  That performance opens about midway through the actual song!  This cut and paste job really waters down the essence of what was a truly great concert, and gives a confusing and disconnected feel for the meat of the show, with so many crucial songs to the plot of the rock opera left out.  However, just because a number of songs are missing doesn't take away terribly too much from what a great show what remains was overall; there's still an incredible amount of musical energy, great onstage chatter, and the added element of the songs coming to life even more because you can see them being performed, what with the body language and movements that go along with them.  For example, a song like "Young Man Blues" sounds great either way, but when you can see it, it becomes even more awe-inspiring; how did that guitar not break?!  The footage of Keith at the festival tacked on at the end also kind of feels out of place.

Elton John. In two or three years Elton would be a huge star, but who knew?

Warnes' interpretation of these songs changed the way I listen to "songs". It took several listenings (because the arrangements and instrumental performances are so rich and creative) for me to actually focus on the words. When I did I was knocked out.

Aided by the Police Department's overweight, donut-eating Chief (Johnny Brennan) and a cowardly Rookie named Harry Cox (Harland Williams), Sugar Bear strolls through all of New York to battle criminals and bring justice to the innocent.

+"Fresh Aire III" is probably my favorite (followed closely by 2, although I was less impressed with 1 and 4).  "Toccata" is a fast and highly electronic song that starts it off before following up with more classical-sounding "Small Wooden Bach'ses" (which also shows the sense of humor often present in their music).  The B side begins with the sounds of birds in the forest at "Morning" before fading into night in "Interlude 6" with crickets in the background.  One cricket sounds out above the others and keeps time for "The Cricket," a rousing electronic number that I think would be almost everyone's favorite.
+In fact this album for a time is almost like the soundtrack my high school years because it reflects lonely I feel sometimes. In fact I strongly recommend this album to all who love music to listen to while thinking. It's very intelligent music that should be enjoyed by all generations.

+6880	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Honestly, sometimes I despair at the elitist critics who go on about how great 'good, honest, rock'n'roll' is, and then at the same time extoll angst, alienation and seriousness as essential to the music. Not that 'serious', tormented songs aren't good- often they can be quite powerful, but originally rock'n'roll was fun, not meaningful. Paul McCartney got a lot of stick from critics for releasing an album that was silly and fun- complete anathema to them. It was, and is, also musically brilliant pop music. The chord-changes, song sections, and hooks are vintage McCartney, although "The Back Seat of My Car" is a successful copping of the Brian Wilson style of composition. (McCartney was and is a huge fan of "Pet Sounds") The reason why this isn't quite as good as the best Beatles albums isn't that these songs are of significantly lower quality than the songs he did for the White Album and Abbey Road. In fact, these songs remind me a lot of those songs. And they aren't really more slapdash, silly or whimsical than a lot of his late Beatles songs. Imagine, though, putting together all the McCartney songs on the White Album, and a couple from Abbey Road, together on one album, and you'll get an album sounding a lot like this one. Great, yet missing the Lennon and Harrison songs to balance them out.
+Really, who is a better showman out there than Peter Gabriel?  I don't think any other act--with the possible exception of Pink Floyd/Roger Waters or *possibly* Tool--approaches a concert as theater to the extent that PG does.  It isn't just the songs, it is an artistic push for mood, costume, lighting, and *story*.  On this tour, Peter and band use two stages (one male, one female) connected by a catwalk and moving sidewalks.
+I was indeed enthralled by this record and had to explore why this Billy Joe dude is called a 'living legend'. This record is outstanding, and kicks off with two duets with Waylon Jennings. It seemed fitting that Billy's resurgent record would open with Waylon's assistance, as it was Billy's muse that produced the great songs that became Jenning's 'Honky Tonk Heroes' in 1973 and introduced Billy to the world. No small feat for the 'unknown writer' at the time, seeing as though it is considered the opening salvo of the 'outlaw movement'.

Wise choice, since all this material is stronger than most of Two Against Nature, my least favorite Dan album.  However, even the cuts from that CD performed here are taken up a notch.

But the title of the disc is "Jagged Little Pill-LIVE!" and that is absolutely NOT what the video is. It is, as other reviewers have noted, a collection of clips of variable quality, of Alanis and the band in all sorts of situations. It IS NOT A CONCERT VIDEO as the name implies.
+From Under The Pink: In my opinion of much better quality than LE. Even though everybody loves the american version of 'Cornflake Girl' which suits the theme of the song more and is extremely halarious with the group carrying around a girl in a lasoo and cooking up a guy, i prefer the European version. Dunno, it's less cheap looking for a start, and i like weird cosmic videos I guess, its sort of a precursor to 'Caught A Lite Sneeze.' 'Past The Mission' is a very picteresque take off the pied piper set in an Italian village (methinks.) Highlight when Tori gives the priest a dirty look before  keeling over and faking death.

"Slither" is just plain blistering rock and roll as it was meant to be.

+There are some different versions of some songs, and some different mixes of others (most notably the "Sleep Dirt" stuff without the added vocals), but basically they're songs available on 4 previously released albums.  Those 4 were packaged by Warner Brothers thematically - live songs on one album, orchestral on another, instrumental on another, etc.  From the very first one, Zappa's albums were more than a collection of songs.  If you listen to 200 Motels or Uncle Meat, you get a wonderful mix of all kinds of different styles, live and studio recordings, and other juxtapositions, sometimes in the same song.  He often did deliberately harsh and abrupt edits. Zappa hated it when people tried to pigeon-hole his music (good luck, anyway!). That is precisely the beauty of "Lather".  As a whole, it is a masterpiece.

Personally I haven't since that time seen an album as fully creatively deserving as this every win such an award. So where were Steely Dan musically at this point anyway? Well as it turns out much in the same concept as Al Green's 21't century comeback they elected to do almost nothing to change their sound and concentrated mainly on new songs. So musically if you are a love  albums such as&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Gaucho/dp/B00004YX39/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Gaucho</a>&nbsp;and Fagan's&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Kamakiriad/dp/B000002MIY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Kamakiriad</a>&nbsp;you'll love the music here. In the end it's just like with Al;it's a sound that is so wonderful and works so well everytime you'd rather see it used again with some melodic variations here and there than see people like these jump on a shallow flavor of the month trend that will embarrass them. One thing that has expanded to a degree is the lyrical focus. Steely Dan always tended to revel in overly cryptic lyrics that could mean a number of things,usually darkly humorous tales of sociaties misfits and such. By the turn of the millenium not only had the definition for misfit scarily broadened but this gave Becker and Fagan an awful lot of new ground to cover in their songs. Extending upon some of the ideas expresssed on&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Kamakiriad/dp/B000002MIY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Kamakiriad</a>&nbsp;most of these songs have to do with different types of modern women from the shortlived summer affair of "Gaslighting Abbie",the forbiddan romance of "Janie Runaway",the run down addict of "Negative Girl" and the mecurial and moodswingy sorts featured in "What A Shame About Me" and "Almost Gothic". One of the funkiest tunes on the entire album is "Cousin Dupree",a pretty straight forward tale of a man with impure thoughts about his cousin musing over what would be so wrong about a "good old fasioned family romance". It also has to be one of the only pop songs that uses the word "quid pro quao" in the lyrics. Even though the sound of this album hasn't changed from earlier ones there is more concentration on jazzy chord progressions than outright pop melodies,especially on the title song and "West Of Hollywood". And again that brings to something of a mystery to me how this album not only faired well commercially but won an award. Not that that's what they were going for by any means but the subject matter and musical stylings of this album are a bit too obscure and sometimes very perverse for the usually more childishly explicit "pop" music of it's time but at least I am happy that,at one point someone had the right idea that sometimes,even in an age of a lot of generic things that every so often pop music needs to have it's surprises.

Having gone to Dead shows, I can say that sitting back in the comfort of your favorite chair and enjoying the Dead in great audio and video is waay better than it was trying to see them live because 1970's Deadheads were the rudest most inconsiderate people I ever had to STAND through a concert with. The so-called COMEDY team of Frankin and Davis that is incorporated into the video is an insult to the show and just makes me sick but if you live through that you will be treated to an awesome concert. Bear in mind, this is mostly an accoustic show, but as that goes it is the best I've ever seen. Jerry has the best guitar-ripping fingers in history. Its a 70's show and many fave Dead tunes are missing but what is performed is a rare treat that I highly recommend if you like the Dead. Plenty of long guitar jams if you like those - which I do.

+6870	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	After the musical one man show of "McCARTNEY", ex-Beatle Paul utilized some of the best session men in New York and collaborated with wife Linda on "RAM". The effort boasts a technicolor sound reminiscent of The Beatles at the height of their psychedelic experimentation, while the lyrics find him celebrating family life (hence the cover photo taken of Paul on his Scottish farm) with a hallucinagenic bent as such lines like "my dog he got three legs/your dog he got none" ("3 Legs"), "I know my banana is older than the rest" ("Monkberry Moon Delight"), "too many people preaching practices" ("Too Many People"), and "dear boy/hope you never know how much you've missed" ("Dear Boy") attests to. The latter tracks were read by John Lennon as a subtle attack on him to which Lennon responded with "How Do You Sleep?" on his next album "IMAGINE" (that record also included a postcard-sized snapshot of John handling a pig in the same manner as Paul on the front of the "RAM" album cover). Another symbolic depiction on the back sleeve of "RAM" shows a beetle screwing another beetle (to put it mildly...you get the point) which is a sad commentary on the state of the Fab Four's relationship at the time. For all that "RAM" is a melodically rich and eccentric work even though it isn't a flat-out masterpiece. Still. "Too Many People", the hilarious "Smile Away", "Heart Of The Country", "Monkberry Moon Delight", "Eat At Home", the sweetly salacious "Back Seat Of My Car" and the Number 1 hit "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" make it worthwhile. HIGHEST POP ALBUM CHART POSITION: Number 2.
+8702	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	Excellent live release that highlights the Ziggy, Alladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs era. Maybe a little too perfect in spots, as most live albums go, there were probably a fair amount of studio overdubs "fix its" done. The mixing is excellent though. It looks like the CD version has some extra tunes. I have it on 8 track and the original tape still sounds excellent.
+Even in the lyrical category, usually vaunted as Paul's weak point, Ram excels for the most part. Tracks like 3 Legs and Smile Away aren't exactly sterling, but they do their job. His whimsical, imagistic poetry performs in full force and on the really good songs such as the rocking Too Many People, the harmony-laden Dear Boy, and the grandiose Back Seat of My Car (one of his all-time greatest compositions) Macca shows a penchant for snappy wordplay and double meanings usually associated with former partner John. This whole album isn't thematically united as Abbey Road or Band on the Run, but the reprisal of the "title" track Ram On and the sequencing, alternating between grandiose mini-suites and simple, light-hearted (not to be confused with lightweight) pop songs give it a sort of whimsical cohesiveness.

+It goes without saying (I know, I've already said it) that the guitar work on Hotel California (by Frey, but especially Don Felder and Walsh) really kicks this album up a notch. And that's coming from someone who loved Bernie Leadon's Clarence White-inspired playing on all those great early Eagles songs (e.g. "Take It Easy").
+Some viewers may complain that the band's current control puts a damper on their energy level.  The ever cool and calm Christine McVie performs so effortless and with such self-confidence that she never seems to break a sweat, and although her opening numbers are extremely well performed Nicks doesn't completely unleash her talents until the second half of the program.  Time has also taken a toll on Nick's voice: her upper notes are gone, a few of her songs have been re-worked in order to accomodate her increasingly limited range, and discreetly placed back up singers (Sharon Celani and Mindy Stein) are worked in to spare her extremely delicate instrument as much of the back-up work as possible; a handful of other expert musicians also support Buckingham, Fleetwood, and John McVie.  And on a technical note, the audio mix could have been better than it is.  No, this is not Fleetwood Mac at its creative apex--but it is hard to argue to with such a class act, particularly when this is the closest most of the world will ever get to seeing the band in the flesh.  Very welcome, and highly recommended.
+Their performance that night was top notch. But how could it not be when you are playing at one of the most famous music halls in the world. It is kind of surprising to see the Dead playing at Radio City Music Hall since that place is more well known for Rockettes rather then rock. But the group was definitely rocking the Hall that night. And you could see they were inspired by being there. From the first number they played, Bird Song, to the last, Good Lovin', all six members of the group were playing and jamming while having a good time while up on the stage. Meanwhile the audience was filled to capacity with Dead Heads grooving to the sounds. Just about every well known hit by the Dead were played that night including among them "Ripple", "Mexicali Blues", "Saint Of Circumstance", "Franklin's Tower" and "Fire On The Mountain" to name a few.

The support musicians are also excellent (Jeff Berlin replaces an ill Tony Levin for this show).

The small flavor would occur in places where Peter and his band would happen to play some of the songs from the track list, with any available instruments. The medium flavor would be like concert I had the opportunity of seeing in my home country (Venezuela): the band with their own instruments, playing the entire set, and using some of the visual effects that the larger production boasted (I have to say this 'mid-sized' version of the concert almost got me killed of a heart-attack -I'm not joking- due to all the emotions I experienced throughout it).

I enjoy "watching" a concert as much as listening so it's a bit disappointing that it looks as bad as it does. However, despite that drawback, it's still a great concert and sounds great.

Despite "Caribbean Queen" having a keyboard part that sounds a little like "Billy Jean", Billy manages to diversify to cutesy dance pop, funky R&B to smothering slow jams.  Take the get-up anthems "When The Going Gets Tough" and "Get Out of My Dreams", both fast paced grooving pop tunes.  With peppy sing along tunes like those, it s nearly a crime that he wasn't crowned the King of the era.  Then there are adult contemporary gems, which are sang sweetly and lightly like "Suddenly" and "There ll Be Sad Songs".  Billy's funkiest track that hints of the islands is "Love Zone".  "Loverboy" is a stomping rock beat dancer.  "Tear Down These Walls" is a good combo of a pop song in a slower more romantic way.  "Mystery Lady" is a romantic tribute.  Also, Billy gives us guests like the Fresh Prince  (now known as Will Smith) and Robert Lange (who produced heavy metal monsters AC/DC and Def Leppard before this and country queen wife Shania Twain after).  Then of course, there is "Caribbean Queen", the blessing and the curse.
+All that comes across in this landmark concert. Simon takes care to be just one of the performers on-stage. The music is made in equal part by all the artists (many of whom have gone on to international success), and its infectious exultation is picked up by the crowd who express their jubilation in impromptu conga lines and uninhibited group dancing.
+A dream came true for me in 1985, when I met Roy at a private concert he gave at what used to be "The Cannery", in Nashville, TN.  He was as ashen and unhealthy looking then as he had ever been, but put on a performance that kept the 100 of so of us on our feet....he was just unbelievable.

+It is in the three popular Copland pieces--"Fanfare For The Common Man"; "Lincoln Portrait"; and "An Outdoor Overture"--that the best of America lies.  The towering brass chorale of "Fanfare" symbolizes, as its title surely indicates, the ability of the common man to achieve the uncommon; while "An Outdoor Overture", written in the 1930s for the Manhattan High School of Music & Art, celebrates American youth.  And then there's "Lincoln Portrait", with the words of our 16th president spoken by James Earl Jones, one of our country's greatest actors and voices, with great strength and authority, allowing us to know that while we may be the greatest nation on Earth, we can ALWAYS be better.  Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony provide masterful performances throughout this stunning 1992 recording.  This is highly recommended for anyone wanting to know the true spirit of our nation beyond the constant and often wreckless political rhetoric that so often abounds here.
+Second, Young's review may give some the impression that this film is like so many other unfortunate visual records of Hendrix performances, bits and pieces of music woven into the fabric of whatever narrative/interview neccessity the project advanced. (Think just about any Hendrix "film" you've seen).  Not so.  The songs all have beginnings, middles, and ends, and where solos are cut, the songs aren't interrupted with inane, self-serving interviews with folks whose fifteen were up long, long ago.
+I would take issue with Amazon's main Editorial Review, that dismissed this album slightly, saying "as a heart-wrencher it holds not a candle to King of America, and as a singular example of elegant pop craft it can't top Costello's 1998 collaboration with Burt Bacharach, Painted from Memory." Huh? No way, no way! Okay, each listener has their own take on the albums, but I think "Imperial Bedroom" blows both of those other albums out of the water. Yes, he made albums with catchier songs, and some with more of a harder rock or R&B vibe, but for sure songcrafting majesty and lyrical magnificence, I don't think Costello ever topped this one. As soon as the first track, "Beyond Belief" hits you, you are hooked, and Costello never lets up, all the way through the closer, another brilliant tune, "Town Cryer." I think this album also contained some of his very best vocal performances. Confident and emotionally powerful stuff that still gives me chills.
+9385	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This is without a doubt one of the finest vinyl quality pressings of 2013. As stated above Gail Zappa had the LP pressed in Europe at Pallas which one of the finest pressing plants in the world. The recording was also made from the original analog  master tapes as stated on the bottom of the cover which was not the case of Freakout because those tapes had deteriorated long ago. The new vinyl sounds much better than my 1970's copy. It's quiet, more detailed, and transparent sounding, (sorry for the audiophile terms), which translated into a really entertaining listening experience on my turntable. the 1970's version sounded boxed-in and compressed in comparison which made me want to turn it off ASAP.  Not sure who the remastering engineer was but did a fantastic job on this one.
+4788	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	Sometimes the best CDs require repeated listenings before their virtues become apparent. Such is the case with Steely Dan's "Two Against Nature." My initial reaction was disappointment-I did not immediately hear  accessible and catchy songs here a la The Dan's 1970s albums. But the devil  is in the details-the counterpoint piano of "What a Shame About Me," the  jazzy/Third World funkiness of the title track, or the sunny cynicism of  "Janie Runaway." This CD emphasizes rhythm and jazz chops over a  traditional verse-chorus-verse song structure or melody. This CD is like  the jazz influences from which it is drawn-repeated listenings reveal a  dense and sophisticated musicianship.  I have listened to this CD daily  since its release and I find myself coming back to it again and again.  There is a quietness to Donald Fagen's vocals and a jazz-lite sheen to the  music that is initially deceptive.  The strength of the underlying songs,  musicianship and lyrics will gradually reveal themselves after repeated  listenings.

+"Eat that question" and "For Calvin's Next Two Hitch-hikers" are top ten Zappa compositions, in my book.
+Slash brings a certain style of humility and creativity all in one. I absolutely see his work as being a collective of many directions. Yet again I must emphasize the basic core from which he has grown: he gracefully has written "his" material and went to all the artists and not the other way around. That takes humility and a certain fineness to showcase when playing with Ozzy or Lemmy and the countless others!

What he does say is that you should think for yourself.

PG&E was a fine Gospel Rock group, their songs maintain a very high energy level (with a couple of exceptions), and this CD is thoroughly entertaining.

+  I recently saw Albert Cummings in Toronto at the Silver Dollar Club,(another premier blues club, and great performance) just a block up from the Elmacombo.  I went for a walk down the street and got chills just thinking that SRV shook the street from just up the stairs from where I stood.
+Pressed rat and warthog - to me, this song seems to be a natural progression from the last track, I think, on Disraeli Gears, "Mother's lament". I really like this song for the same reason that I really like the opening track on The Sex Pistols' "The great rock'n'roll swindle" album, which features Malcolm McLaren doing a spoken word fairytale on how he invented punk music. In other words, both songs appeal on a childish level...listening to a soothing bedtime story read by someone with a soothing voice. Here the story is of the absurd kind, which the English are fond of-perhaps you could also characterise the lyrics as 'psychedelic'. The brass in this song is pretty, and some of the sounds/instruments are intriguing...perhaps the flute is included, and there is a certain mediaeval qquality to the sound, though the track does have a light rock accompaniment.

Filled with piano, strings and the angelic voice of Korey Cooper, the emotion is not lacking throughout the length of the album. However, it is filled with enough guitar riffs and catchy beats that maintain the "Skillet" hard-rock flavor we've all come to know and love. The orchestral elements prove the musical genius that Skillet was capable of. Versatile, beautiful and powerful -- Skillet has, once again, raised the bar for themselves and their contemporaries.

+But those kind of stage antics that were unique to Friedrich Gulda [1930-2000] are one thing while Evgeny Kissin carries on the tradition of the era and its music. It has nothing to do with being a product of the "Russian school" as it does matters of appropriate demeanor and concurrently rendering the classical piece composer equal 'due' as it were. Why it seems to bother certain journalists that Evgeny still remains single and prefers to live with his family wherever he goes wholly escapes me but I suppose these journalistic types equate write-ups in the various tattle-tale or gossip inspired rags for outrageous behavior as no doubt the 'measure' of having truly arrived! Right. In effect, if there are no warts or social behavior outrages, something must be decidedly wrong!

+5383	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	4.0	For almost three decades, Jennifer Warnes has been one of the most reputable composers and singers in popular music. The Hunter shows that she is just as successful with light jazz and R&B as with other musical  genres. The album includes gently swaying melodic songs with hushed vocal  harmonies (Rock You Gently), touches of jazz saxophone and funk guitar  (Somewhere Somebody, Big Noise New York), and light-heartened melodies with  playful staccato strings (The Hunter). The bass (I believe stand-up)  playing is understated and curiously improvisational (Big Noise New York,  True Emotion, The Hunter). Michael Landau, studio extraordinary for almost  20 years (assisting the likes of Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, B.B. King,  Rod Stewart and Pink Floyd) provides the savory guitar  refrains.

+5887	CDs_and_Vinyl_5	POS	5.0	This album really epitomizes what Cream was about.  They were both marvels live and in the studio, and never was that shown better than in this album.  Jack Bruce and Peter Brown were amazingly prolific writers, and their best songs are all here.  White Room is deserving of its classic (with a really good, intricate drum workout by Ginger Baker), and As You Said is another gentle, charming song.  Passing the Time is really beautiful (showing Baker could write great songs too).  I love Politician, whose chorus "I support the left, though I'm leaning, leaning to the right" still rings true today.  The live stuff is phenomenal, especially the epic cover of Spoonful and Bruce's blues workout Train Time.  The only song I could do without was Toad.  It starts out well, but Baker's drum solo isn't very dynamic, and it goes on much too long.  If Baker and Bruce had gotten along better (contrary to popular belief, it wasn't Clapton feuding with his other band mates, but Baker and Bruce, who had a bit of a history before Cream), Cream would have kept making great albums for a while.  Nevertheless, this is a great album, Cream's best.

The following  5 songs are among bowie's finest work ever! A nice mix of searing guitar  and keyboards with lyrics that are terse and thought provoking.  "Breaking glass", "sound and vision" and "always  crashing in the same car" are absolute classics! The seventh cut, an  instrumental called "A new career in a new town" crackles with  energy. Within these 7 songs is a unique guitar sound that seems to bind everything together. At this point the work is a rock classic. Then it changes substantially. The final 4 cuts are all synth based instumentals, each a bit different from the other.

He went back to his origial formula after this, before becoming an adult contemporary artist in the 1990's. Bruce tried a new experiment, and he passed it with flying honors. He could make commerically successful pop music without drifting too far away from his comfort zone. A job well done, I'd say.

But Steve Hoffman for the live parts really cleaned up and EQ'd mostly the low end (you can hear the Bass playing much better) and created better stereo separation and best sound possible for all the music here.

In duration, Petra is the Rolling Stones of the Christian rock scene. They have put out over twenty albums and sold millions of recordings. I have had the pleasure of meeting them on two occasions and helping them set up their stage for shows. They are not only great musicians, they are great people. Looking back, Beyond Belief now seems to have been a summing-up of the Christian rock world, from the late sixties to 1990. It was this album, more than any other besides perhaps Stryper's 1984 debut "The Yellow & Black Attack" and Vengeance (Rising)'s 1988 debut "Human Sacrifice" that defined where Christian rock would be going in the next decade. Petra had been building intensity throughout the mid to late 80's-ever since former Head East vocalist John Schlitt jumped on the bandwagon in 1986. Their successive releases "Back To the Street", "This Means War" and "On Fire" each had a harder edge than the previous. There are some great tunes here, from the galloping opener and the riff-laden "I Am On the Rock" to the keyboard driven intensity of "Creed", a powerful statement of belief. A number of nice ballads are also contained. "Seen And Not Heard" sounds suspiciously like KISS' "Heaven's On Fire", but who cares? The other tracks fill in the album nicely. Petra is (was/probably still is) definitely arena-rock, but they did it well on this recording, one of, if not their best seller.

+I you're a Gabriel fan this is must have. I have loved this live CD for years so to bring back the concert on Blu Ray is a welcome addition to the collection. A lot of production went into this show. Some great playing from the crew as usual. Interesting to see him 20 years ago. His voice is stellar and in his prime. The DTS-HD audio on this is the quality I've come to expect from Peter. Absolutely spot on. Love it. The video is a bit soft and grainy but that's to be expected from the transfer. No big deal really. A minor gripe. This is as good as it gets for a 2 decade old concert recording. Highly recommended.

She now lives and works chiefly in Canada, where she settled after leaving New Zealand.  According to her bio on ubl.com, she's written essays, columns, and book reviews, and also written two one-woman plays titled "Life with Gale Garnett" and "Life After Latex."

+Included are all of Orbison's signature hits, from the classic "Pretty Woman" to the haunting "Crying" with the poignant tenor cry at the conclusion. My personal favorite Orbison song has always been "Running Scared," a sort of mini-opera, replete with the soaring, rather syrupy arrangements his songs are noted for. I admit many of these arrangements sound dated, but the voice is the primary instrument anyway, and the only one you'll care about. If Elvis was blessed with a gorgeous set of pipes, Roy was in another league entirely and his gift never diminished. If you are an old Orbison die-hard fan, or a newbie to this incredible man, this collection will do you nicely.

+Briefly, with new New York guitarist Al Pitrelli, who would later spend two years kicking it the thrash way with Megadeth, Savatage recorded the excellent concept album Dead Winter Dead based upon the Bosnian War, which Atlantic Records largely considered the last chance for the band to break into needed commercial heights. The instrumental "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)", musically representing a brave lone celloist in the middle of a battlefield, gave a modern metal edge to the traditional holiday song "Carol of the Bells". This wasn't the first time the band had given traditional &/or classical music metal flourishes, let alone the tradition extended back to Led Zeppelin, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer & others. The single became the success the band was looking for ... sort of. It's climb up the charts was marred by the band's metal sounding name that frightened radio DJs. TSO was created to boost the single past preconceived notions, though it was actually the same line-up but with rotating vocalists, a slightly less venonomous stage act & a prominent composing role for Savatage session keyboards Bob Kinkel. "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)" was reissued & given a new story about an angel looking for something done on Christmas Day that represents everything good. At one point he flys over Bosnia & hears a lone celloist.

I also had the pleasure to be at the 1st ever concert with him in Kiss at the old NYC Academy of music, But was called The Palladium at the time KI77 had rented it out, to practice before going over to alstrailure. So many locals heard them every day with his drum sounds pounding out of the back doors, that the day before the was to leave. They put on sale tickets for us few lucky fans to see them play, it held maybe 2,000 fans & the Stray cats opened & was booed & pelted off the stage after 10 minutes...I was atthe age of 12 & it was an incredible night that I will always treasure. Unfortuneatly Gene/Money bags wouldn't allow his parents that put this together with help from other industry insiders. To use any footage of Eric other than backstage antics of him being his goofy self. Except for the use of old magazines & a very short clip of Eric with Bruce jamming on stage doing a duet type of solo, we don't get any other footage of Eric playing w/KI77. I also was blessed with being a NYc yellow cab driver back around the Animalized recording & seen eric in his Don Johnson, white suit & slacks on 8th ave & 53 rd st.in NYC just leaving a studio having to get to the airport. I asked why he was walking that area, looking for a ride & not having the rock star treatment he disearved for bringing life back into KI77? He said that after over 7 years, { with me keep poking for a honest reply } that it wasn't part of his deal of being a hired drummer for the Hottest band in the World!! So as gene still makes a fortune of DVd & CD sales with Eric playing concerts for KI77, his family don't get to have the pleasures of life that Gene's & Paul's Parents do. BUY THIS DVD !! It is some of the best raw emotion about 1 of the greatest Rock Drummers that will be remembered for his greatness of being a real man, son & husband/boyfriend that has ever graced us fans of all kinds of music. Which if you didn't know yet, Eric was a drummer of all taste in the music world. R.I.P. Platinum stars are what he desearves. Oh, there is some solo's of when he was in kiss, but not live concert footage that his family tried to get for us fans. So, that alone makes this worth every penny you spend on it.

The gap between the sheer quality and creativity of the title track (HOTEL CALIFORNIA) and the rest of the songs in this trash is so enormous that you keep wondering if it were the same guys who recorded it !!! Even in the lyric department the difference is absurd. WHile "HOTEL CALIFORNIA" has substance and a different lyric, the rest of the song's lyrics is just plain cheesy (love, love, girls, heartbreak, and son on so on...). It seems some genius or saint appeared suddenly of the blue and gave the inspiration to the band write HOTEL CALIFORNIA. THen ther saint was gone and the band wrote the rest of the material...
+It's not that Miss Simon is that bad a vocalist--this just isn't her music, any more than it is Rod Stewart's or Linda Ronstadt's or any of the other aging pop-rock singers who turn to standards when their careers flag.

+"Camarillo Brillo" starts the disc off in a tasteful country-rock fashion. Frank's guitar playing in particular is tasty. Also, in my humble opinion, he does a good job on his vocals. To take it a step further, I think Frank had a decent enough voice to hold a good note, without needing to resort to hiding his vocal insecurities behind the faade of a comedic vocalist. That's just my hunch, but I could be wrong. Many may think I'm crazy for thinking all of that, but, that's fine. "I'm The Slime" many people may know, as it opens with a fabulous guitar solo. Funny, but somewhat accurate lyrics on what effect television can have on the mind. "Dirty Love" is a short, playful number. "50/50" (or Fifty-Fifty) is a hilarious number featuring the screechy and grating vocals of Ricky Lancelotti. Should provide many listeners with an appreciation for absurd humor plenty of laughs. There's also an extended instrumental jam section near the end. Frank in general is playing some accomplished guitar solos. "Zomby Woof" features some bizarre, mind-twisting musicianship. To say it's impressive would be an understatement. "Dinah-Moe Humm" is the controversial track on the album. While funny, it can be considered downright nasty and offensive, as the sexual lyrics are fairly graphic. "Montana" is the number discussing a guy moving to Montana and raising a crop of dental floss. Not sure what the significance of this was, but I do find it funny, as well as enjoying the unpredictable twists and turns, musically speaking.

The 39 year old Tibbett shows off his fine figure and voice in a very mannered and choreographed performance of the "Chanson du Toreador" from Carmen. The only problem, other than a lack of nuance in his singing, is that sleazy little mustache, which denotes different qualities to different observers - but none of them are admirable.
