Plucked from a wet afternoon of busking Bizet and Puccini to passersby on the Piazza in Covent Garden in the spring of 2001, soprano Rebecca Knight and mezzo Karen England soon found themselves singing in slightly larger venues: the FA Cup and Champions League soccer finals. That the management company doing the plucking had recently performed a similar Cinderella crossover act for Russell Watson offered portent, and indeed the Babes--the moniker began as a joke--were soon on their way to this recording debut. The marketing shtick and its soccer connections may offend purists, but it's the football hooligans that the Babes are trying to win over here; can Borodin soothe the savage Manchester United fan? Their classically trained voices mesh gloriously, with England's warm mezzo showing particular character in her solo turns.

The repertoire choices here cover material that may already be familiar to fans of Charlotte Church (i.e., Delibes "Flower Duet") and other crossover acts, but they do include some pleasant surprises, like Offenbach's Barcarolle from The Tales of Hoffmann and "You Live On in My Heart," a reworking of Ennio Morricone's enchanting Cinema Paradiso theme with lyrics by Knight. But in a rush toward the musical middle of the road, it's the productions themselves that sometimes overwhelm the Babes with bathos ("Ave Maria"), hollow thunder ("Aida 2002"), and electro club kitsch (the 'Vibe Tribe' mix of "Flower Duet"). Former Art of Noise mainstay Anne Dudley's tastefully restrained coloring of Tchaikovsky's "1001 Nights" is one of the notable exceptions. They're babes, they sing opera--with fair promise--for the masses, and if they turn one in a hundred from football hooliganism to a well-mannered appreciation of Grieg and Dvorák, won't it all have been worth it? --Jerry McCulley

wallpaper.......2007-07-12

overorchestrated, overproduced aural wallpaper...that said, still, these women have wonderful voices and are worth hearing. They are oversold,too...Opera Babes! Indeed. Folks who like Enya will like this.

simply beautiful, so just enjoy it.......2007-06-11

my daughter has taught me to love opera. this immediately captured me. the Babes' voices blend so beautifully. I love it! who cares about Puccini, Classic Opera, blah, blah, woof, woof. I love this album

Sloppy renditions and amateurish.......2007-05-15

I heard one of the selections on Sirius and liked it so I bought the CD. Upon hearing the entire CD I was disappointed that the only selection I liked was the one that prompted me to buy the product. The voices are nice but they are simply adding voice to opera masterpieces that do not fit. They are certainly not of the caliber of Sarah Brightman or Charlotte Church and don't look for that. Their sound is mellow, dim and without the emotion that does an inservice to the opera pieces they sing. I found the CD lackluster and in all honestly very "amateurish".

Great songs reinvented, with a twist.......2006-09-30

Expanding upon the recent interest in Gregorian chant fusion as well as rich-voiced solo vocalists such as Josh Groban, operatic soprano Rebecca Knight and mezzo soprano Karen England offer full-vibratoed, somewhat modernized interpretations of favorite classical themes. Backed by chorus, orchestras, keyboards and drums, they draw from such diversely satisfying works as Puccini's opera "Madame Butterfly," Grieg's "Piano Concerto in a minor," Dvorak's "New World Symphony," Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream," Orff's "Carmina Burana," Delibe's "Lakme," Beethoven's "Ode to Joy," Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite," Offenbach's "The Tales of Hoffman," Schubert's "Ave Maria," and Verdi's "Aida." Some of the arrangements are fairly traditional, while others are noticeably enhanced. The emphasis tends to be on pretty pieces with sweet melodies, though a few are more intense in nature (#1, 4, 5, 15 and 17). A couple of pop songs, still sung in operatic style, are thrown in for good measure, although they don't have the same appeal and mystique as the old favorites. All of the selections feature both vocalists together, singing in lovely, close harmony. The arrangers of this elegantly hip music include Jon Cohen, Noely, Frank Gallagher, Deni Lew and Anne Dudley, with multi-language lyrics (for the adaptations of instrumental works) by Rebecca Knight and others. I have to admit that I occasionally found myself longing for the modern additions to be more consistently interesting and distinctive--in other words, equaling the artistry of the classics that they're accompanying. Track #1, which really shines, is a well-done example. Alternately, perhaps the source songs might have been better off left in their pure, original styles rather than watered down with schmaltzy, predictable underpinnings that don't add much to the music. But like Enigma did for medieval chant, the Opera Babes are endeavoring to bring some wonderful, time-tested music to a wider audience, fusing it with modern idioms in way that is artistic and generally appealing. For more opera fusion, compare the work of Amici Forever (a group of five singers, both male and female), and the oddly packaged but similar-in-concept album "Coco de Mer" by Adam Plack.

Praise for Beyond Imagination.......2006-02-26

What I really enjoyed about this album was its distinctive sound and arrangement of the material. I enjoy classically performed opera and was surprised how much I like the Opera Babes' versions. Of course, the wonderful voices added immensely to the high quality of this product.

SIZZLING BLUES VOCALS WITH A TIGHT BAND - LIVE.......2001-02-21

I haven't heard Teresa perform live in 12 years, doing covers in Pasadena. Since then, I have become a big fan of the songs from her debut CD, "The Whole Enchilada" and I couldn't wait to hear this live cd. After hearing it for the first time, I thought it would take some time before I got used to these new LIVE versions of songs that I have lived with since buying her previous CD. It did - about 2 hours. By the time I had listened through the entire cd a couple times, I was enjoying these tunes as much as I always had. All the strengths of the studio cd are present here - Teresa's passionate,blues-drenched vocals, plus skilled musicianship and the solid songwriting of Terry Wilson. In addition, this cd features much more of Teresa's fine New Orleans-style piano playing and gives each talented member of the Rhythm Tramps a chance to shine. After all, this is a band best known for their live shows and this cd captures them playing for a crowd of their most appreciative fans.

The cd features 13 songs written or co-written by Terry Wilson, including 7 new ones. Among the hi-lights for me are : the "Little Feat" flavored "I Want a Love" featuring the precise drumming and percussion of James Cruce and Debra Dobkin, The soulful ballad "In My Dreams" showcasing tight harmonies & soulful sax playing of Jerry Peterson, The best version of "The Trouble With Angels" I've ever heard, Teresa's emotional vocals on the ballads "Something's Happening", "I Know What Love Can Do" and "Love is For All Time" (with an amazing guitar solo bt Billy Watts), The jump-out of -your -seat tunes "She's Got the Bug, "Shake a Leg", and "Trying Not to Laugh", and a very playful version of the standard "My Boy Lollipop, again featuring Jerry Peterson's sax work. My only complaint about this cd is that I so wanted to hear live versions of a couple other favorite tunes from the studio cd, "Dangerous" & "Meet My Maker" but I guess I will just have to wait and request them when I see the band live. If you want to hear some great Texas-style blues/rock featuring powerful vocals, great original tunes and tight playing, you need to get this CD - SOON.

It's just that good.......2006-12-26

I could attempt to explain to you why, exactly, this CD is good--write about the effortless blending of genres, the wealth of lyrical and instrumental talent brought to bear on the project, the amazing emotional vibe that the album puts out, or the masterful craftsmanship with which the DJ wields all of the above.

Or I could just say that you should buy this damn CD...right now. I know it's the easy way out, and far from being a thorough review, but it's the best I can come up with. Buy this CD. I promise that you'll be very happy with it.

I just keep going back to it!.......2005-08-14

In case you don't know, I love music and spend a rather sizeable amount of my disposable income on CD's and concerts. Having said that, J Boogie's Dubtronic Science is in heavy rotation at my home and has been since I purchased it last year. This album has taken all of my favorite genres of music and fused them so seamlessly that all I can do when it's playing is just vibe and try not to dance too much. J Boogie incorporates jazz, real hip-hop, dub beats, and neo-soul while never losing the album's chill feel. He also has a lot of independent artists that I love on it, such as Martin Luther, Goapele, Zion I, Talib Kweli, and others. If you appreciate music like this, please buy this CD. I promise you won't be dissapointed, I haven't been.

listen to the dj DAMMIT!.......2004-11-18

I was at a record shop website. SOmething in San Francisco and saw a link for this album. Now... a record store sells vinyl. But, they are also the best people to listen to. Music afficionados. They weren't advertising any other CDs on the frontpage to their website: JUST THIS ONE.

... and now I know why. This is a great mix. What's on it. Who cares... if you want good music then buy this, listen to it, and then tell your friends to buy it. Buy it for all your friends and family this holiday... or next holiday.

Its funk, its dub, its raw hip hop and danceable grooves. Fun for anyone who digs house, trip hop, downtempo grooves, rap, raggae or world music. This is my number one BEST BUY for 2004.

NOT CARPENTER'S ORIGINAL SCORE...IT'S A HACK JOB..........2005-12-04

What a piece of ****. Do not buy this worthless CD. If you are a fan of John Carpenter's scores, you will not like this. Don't waste your money like I did...And the only reason it got one star is because you can't give it any less!

not for fans of carpenter's scores.......2004-12-03

like other reviewers said, this is someone else playing those classic carpenter tunes. sometimes it sounds like elevator music. unfortunately, the cover doesn't say anything about this piece of work...

Essential what?.......2003-07-08

As the previous reviewer noted, nowhere on this CD does it indicate that the 'Essential John Carpenter' is someone re-recording all of the famous cues. Naturally all the info is on the inside.

And the disc? I don't see the point in bothering. They might as well make Assault on Precinct 13, Dark Star, and They Live (which pretty much don't have scores in print anymore) available again, even if they have to combine a couple to make one disc.

Carpenter does not use orchestras or elaborate bands for his scores. He does most of it himself and that makes another Carpenter collection simple. It's not difficult to play the notes, but everything is just slightly off and after a while you wonder what's the point.

This is NOT the music from the Carpenter films you love. This is someone playing that music. Assault on Precinct 13, which provides most of the attraction of this pretty worthless disc, sounds lousy and has none of the life of the throbbing synth of the original. Not only that, but they have the nerve to throw in two (2) cues from Starman, a Carpenter film that he didn't do his own music for(!) Instead the disc is broken by the Jerry Goldsmith pieces that sound NOTHING like anything Carpenter has done. It's bad--it belongs elsewhere, namely the Starman soundtrack which is still in print.

Stay away from this thing. It's a ripoff, another attempt to cash in on a name without providing any real product.

AVOID THIS IMITATION GARBAGE!!!!! FAKE CARPENTER.......2003-06-25

These jerks did a great job hiding the fact that these tracks are re-recorded by some schlep. Avoid this lame piece of garbage at all costs. The tones are totally wrong, it sounds very little like the genius originals. I bought this to get some of the Assault on Precinct 13 stuff, and was horrified to find that everything had been re-recorded. THIS IS NOT MENTIONED ON THE OUTER PACKAGING IN ANY WAY!!! You would never know until you open it and read the liners. Shame on these bastards for trying to dupe and rip people off. AVOID THIS [STUFF]!!!

"absolute in capturing the original scores".......2002-12-03

Hats off to Gareth Williams, James Fitzpatrick and Silva Screen Records for this venture into the world of John Carpenter. Silva has done a masterful job of recreating the feel of the original Carpenter film scores. This awesome compilation of "great thriller music" sends chills up our spines from composers Ennio Morricone, Jack Nitzsche, Dave Davies, Alan Howarth and of course John Carpenter. Each selection is arranged and performed with plenty of suspense dating back to 1974, which gave the audience a supernatural and imaginative fright. Each score paints the mood for every cue, which writer, producer and director Carpenter required...and then some.

Each score takes on a life of its own away from the film. If you've never seen any of the films, your imagination plays a key role interpreting what our legendary director/composer has up his sleeve when writing and directing the music. Entire album is a stand out ~ this one's for Carpenter and Silva fans alike, a collection for the first time with tremendours power and immediacy of each cue can now be heard. With Dolby Digital Surround Sound Recordings...this is a must have for your collection. All "film-score-buffs" beware, this is guranteed to give your goosebumps on the very first track, gotta love it!

I found this CD more satisfying than the previous two. I play it constantly while driving. I have no idea how I came to this CD. Maybe one of my daughters bought it for me. I prefer the renditions of Mozart, Beethoven and Dorsey himself to those of Bach (personal taste, I guess). By the way, I found tracks 20 and 21 on this CD, "Dimensions" and "Birthday Dimensions," the best of the lot. Both were composed by Dorsey. He should do more. I am waiting for his next CD. Dorsey is a gift to our generation, as much as Beethoven was a gift to people of another time.

Make him stop!.......2002-01-09

I can't believe this guy even has a recording contract. He is completely without talent and just plays a bunch of machines that any 15 year old with an IQ of 80 can operate. This music is some kind of bad joke.

Busted is a bust.......2001-01-06

This CD is a big disappointment after hearing BACHBUSTERS and BEETHOVEN OR BUST. It contains duplicates from these previous albums and a lot of other music that isn't especially pleasant to listen to and has no central theme. The Mozart additions are not very exciting and sound a lot like cuts from the previous albums. I had hoped to hear some great Mozart stuff on this disc, but it isn't there.

I first heard the Barn Owls on the Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor and was hooked. My favorite is the original piece, "Cloud Mountain Waltz". It is hauntingly beautiful. This CD will make anyone a lover of string bands. So far Barn Owls don't wander far from Iowa, but with the CD, they are sure to collect an audience begging for them to come out and play!

Album Description

This is the text from the Pamphlet we are including with the

Ultimate Island Spa mix, "This Time in Between." How to use this CD The program of music on this CD offers an instrumental sequenced journey for healing therapy including preparation of the room atmosphere and the therapist's state of mind and energy level. The music then gently takes the healer and client to deeper and deeper levels of relaxation. After about an hour, the music gently brings the energy level up and leaves all involved with an uplifted spirit of hope and abundance. 1) Start CD. During songs 1&2, Prepare room atmosphere, light candles and incense. Prepare therapy surface. (table or chair) Greet client, ushering into your healing space, allowing her to relax and prepare. (undress, lay down, breathe) 2) Song 3 plays. Therapist returns and begins session. Music is still slightly upbeat but slowly easing the client out of her hectic world and into this time in between. 3) Music slows and stays mellow for the next five songs. Client drifts off to her own comfortable space. 4) With the next three songs, the musical journey begins to turn upward, slowly guiding the client back into a safe space. She is rejuvenated. And with the final song, uplifted yet still in a very mellow space. 5) Therapist and client are both left relaxed and energized.
