Revolutionary, Vol. 2 [Explicit Lyrics]

Amazon.com
Despite the popular perception that the death knell has already rung for political hip-hop, Immortal Technique jams a shot of adrenaline through the chest plate into hip-hop's conscious heart. Tackling topics from America's complicity in the drug trade ("Peruvian Cocaine") to the cycles of inner-city poverty ("Harlem Streets") to the global military complex ("The 4th Branch"), Immortal Technique unabashedly radiates his radicalism in a time of apathy. There's a thin line between passion and didacticism, and, at times, he forces rhymes that sacrifice style in service of content, but most of the time his delivery is as razor sharp as his politics. The beats are mostly understated and minimalist, armed with just enough punch to accent the rhymes. "You Never Know" drifts sweetly on jazz-guitar strums while "Crossing the Boundary" snaps with a hard, funk edge. Clearly though, Immortal Technique is the strongest sonic force on the album, a claxon alarm that shatters the complacent silence. --Oliver Wang

Another Fantastic Album!.......2007-07-21

Just as good as the first, if not better. Maybe a bit more mainstream, with more hooks on the tracks--but still far, far away & above anything else you hear on any rap station. You can now get your jam on without feeling as if the music is killing your brain cells.

Do Sweat The Technique.......2007-07-01

I heard about Immortal Technique through some friends and decided to pick up this album. Im pleasantly surprised. Immortal Technique not only has a killer flow but he's quite conscious of things that most zombies would pass off as lunacy. The albums kicks off with a great track Point Of No Return. Then then next track Peruvian Cocaine breaks down like a well acted out play. If you think he only has two or three songs of substance on this album guess again. Harlem Streets, 4th Branch, Internal Bleeding, The Cause Of Death, Leaving The Past are all tight tracks that prove otherwise. Immortal Technique keeps it true to the hip hop side of him with the humorous Obnoxious, which is his f*** all ya'll style track, Industrial Revolution and Crossing The Boundary. I'm still laughing at that track Freedom Of Speech. Even though its a deep cut, the funny part is the sampling of Pinochio and his sarcasm on the song. Immortal Technique teams up with Jean Grae on the deepest song on the album, You Never Know. On this song Immortal Technique tells a very vivid story of a girl he once loved who dies of aids. The album ends with the One Remix with Akir. The only track that is not a song is The Message & The Money. Its basically him telling other up and coming underground MCs that they need to know the ins and outs of the industry. Not bad but its not a song. Bottom Line: Immortal Technique's Revolutionary Vol. 2 is a must have for any fan of political hip hop. His lyrics were as truthful as they were phenomenal, the production was great and the guest appearances were a nice touch. All in all it was a beautifully put together album. 5 stars!

A History Lesson you'll never get from the estabishment.......2007-06-10

Tech isn't rapping, he's teaching.
Setting a foundation for liberating minds.
Things that sound crazy aren't, they're real and you can see for yourself.
Many of the lyrics are the keywords to revealing a truth that has been buried. Don't take his word for it, find out for yourself.

This album is chocked full of thought nutrients.......2007-05-30

Very good on the mic. Lyrical content is just how I like it. Beats are bumpin'. I don't need songs about bling and hoes. I need more mcs like this!

walkin' around with a full banana clip and he's blasting everything in site. Hip Hop, the government, people that did him wrong, etcetera. This cd is not for the Lite FM listener. Y'all better DUCK! Those that need to.

Amazon.com essential recording

This collection features wide-ranging repertory, including Russian Romantics like Rachmaninoff and Scriabin that were Horowitz's concert staples, all stunningly played. The Chopin "Funeral March" Sonata is taken at a flowing pace, with a crisp, touching march. Schumann's Kinderszenen is fetchingly done with disarming simplicity and heartfelt poetry. He "improves" Liszt's 19th Hungarian Rhapsody with doubling and rewriting, but it's no less exciting for all that. A stylish Beethoven "Pathetique" Sonata is treasurable for singing tone reined into a classical framework. A good overview of Horowitz's style and repertory with many delights. --Dan Davis

Horowitz at his Musical and Technical Prime.......2003-01-06

Volume One of Sony's reissue of Vladimir Horowitz's Complete Columbia Masterworks Recordings contains studio recordings from 1962-63. His first three LPs for Columbia (Columbia Presents Vladimir Horowitz, The Sound of Horowitz, and In His First Recordings of...) were conceived as mini-recitals and have been carefully resequenced to fill two CDs.

By 1962, Horowitz had not performed in public for nine years. Frustrated with the repertoire restrictions, poor sound and lack of marketing he was receiving from RCA, he abandoned Little Nipper and signed on with Columbia Masterworks, headed by the legendary Goddard Lieberson. Thomas Frost was assigned as Horowitz's producer, and the two clicked immediately. The fine results they obtained can be heard here.

For decades Horowitz had a problematic relationship with Chopin's Second Sonata. A 1936 attempt to record the piece was aborted due to the pianist's first nervous breakdown (the first movement survives). Horowitz's 1950 recording for RCA is a bizarre collection of details, with a Funeral March that sounds like a Russian boat song on steroids. This 1962 recording is highly successful, however. Horowitz is obviously on top of the piece, technically, with his spare pedaling highlighting Chopin's use of counterpoint. The Funeral March is, for once, played with a crisp rhythm, the central section exquisitely balanced. He performed this work several times in the 1970s, but not as convincingly. The other Chopin works fare as well, including a passionate "Revolutionary" Etude and a tightly controlled B-minor Scherzo with a characteristically Horowitzian touch: Interlocking octaves replace Chopin's chromatic scales in the coda.

Schumann was Horowitz's favorite German composer. Here we have a swift Arabeske, painted in delicate watercolors, and a reflective Kinderscenen, featuring some remarkable voicing. Less successful is the Toccata, which is pianistically unstable and was spliced together virtually bar-by-bar (this remastering smoothes out the edits much better than previous issues).

Horowitz was less fond of Beethoven. He admired the Master's musical ideas and architecture, but was frustrated by Beethoven's piano writing, and many of Horowitz's Beethoven recordings are not convincing--although none could be classified as "bad." This version of the Pathétique (the only Sonata named by Beethoven himself) is one of the best ones, with a perfectly paced opening movement, a beautifully weighted Andante, and an unrushed Finale. Likewise with the lovingly voiced Schubert Impromptu, which is a great improvement over his 1953 recording which was performed in the wrong key!

Horowitz seldom played Debussy and recorded no Ravel. One wonders why, listening to the three Preludes from Book II included here. Horowitz's ability to control the lower levels of dynamics, playing soft-softer-softest, and his deft tone painting suit this music perfectly.

Of course, no Horowitz recital would be complete without Scarlatti, Scriabin and Rachmaninoff. The three Scarlatti Sonatas document Horowitz's increasing concern with authenticity, coupled with his ability to play with infinite grades of detachment and color. The Rachmaninoff and Scriabin illustrate Horowitz's huge dynamic range and unique understanding of Russian rhetoric.

Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 19 is a rather monotonous piece in the original version, but Horowitz's arrangement of it here unquestionably improves the piece. Not only is the work more spectacular with Horowitz's additions, but the pianist's editing maked the structure more coherent. This was originally the last piece on the first LP he made for Columbia, and it's obvious his intent was to show that although he had mellowed and matured, he could still play "like Horowitz" when he chose. He proved his point.

These recordings were produced at Columbia's legendary 30th Street Studio (actually a converted church) and the "360-degree" sound was widely praised in its day. The remastering has opened up the dynamics, and brought forth a fuller, more natural sound, reducing noise without overly capping the high frequencies.

Delightful First Volume.......2000-11-12

"The Studio Recordings 1962-1963" is the first of Vladimir Horowitz's incredible nine CD volumes of the Complete Masterworks Recordings, which are available individually or as a boxed set. Volume One features solo piano works by an amazing array of composers -- Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Scarlatti, Scriabin, Schubert and Schumann. Several of these pieces I was not familiar with prior to purchasing this disc, especially Schumann's "Kinderszenen" and Horowitz's own transcription for Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 19, and they are wonderful additions to my collection. Some of the other pieces I do have other versions of, and it is delightful to hear the subtle differences in Horowitz's style and interpretation. I always thought Rubinstein was the best at playing Chopin, but Horowitz really gives him a run for his money. The Etudes and the Scherzo are played like they are Horowitz's old friends, and the "Funeral March" flows beautifully between the somber and revelatory passages. I might even have to give Horowitz's rendition the nod over Van Cliburn's version (see my review of that title). Horowitz handles Debussy's three Preludes (from Book II) with all the majesty of Walter Gieseking's classic recordings. And Horowitz's reading of Beethoven's "Pathetique" Sonata is equal, if not superior, to the version by Daniel Barenboim that is coupled with Tchaikovsky's "Pathetique" Symphony. Finally, Horowitz captures three Scarlatti sonatas (not featured on Volume 2) in the brilliant manner that only he could. This two-disc set is an essential purchase for the new and veteran classical music fan alike.

Great album, but take it with a grain of salt........2007-05-05

Lyrically Immortal Technique is one of the best written artists to have ever existed in my opinion, but this review isn't going to be a break down of his swagger and punchlines. He's a damn good MC, maybe a little overrated in a freestyle, but I'll leave it at that. Let's look at the album...

Who wrote it and rapped it to me is irrelevent. This album reminds you that music and hip-hop are culture, not just something you listen to in the club, the car, or for the shear joy of music. This album drops so many personal and social issues on the listener that it's almost required to turn the lights down, tune the world out, throw on some head phones, and really LISTEN to this album. The thing is though, although this album speaks a lot of truth, especially from Immortal Technique's prespective, you really need to take it with a grain of salt. Despite how progressive this album is, at the end of the day it's still meant for entertainment so you can't listen to it and take it as 100% truth. I'm almost positive that if you're getting the greater point of the album you'd have come to that conclusion anyways. This album, all faults, glorifications, and propaganda aside though will open your eyes. Even if it feeds you some nonsense and you look in to that nonsense to find out that it's nonsense, then this album just made you do something you wouldn't otherwise have done.

Artists like Immortal Technique are a rare thing this day in age. I was raised by hippies and really that's the only music I can compare this to was bands and artists like John Lennon, The Rolling Stones, and The Ramones whose music was equally about a cultural movement as much as it was about the music. From the 80s through the 90s music seemed to forget to be human and hearing an album like this makes you feel good that there's still people out there fighting the good fight.

All in all, this album trumps Revolutionaries Vol. 1 although both are equally important albums in my collection. Perhaps I'm thinking and ranting about this album too much but I really do feel that it's that important.

The Realest Out.......2006-06-26

To the Viper guy down below, I must correct you. IT isn't forcing anything on you. You made the choice to buy the album, expecting it to probably be some pop crap, and actually got some intelligent songs. That's your fault not Technique's.

Anyways, this is a great album. The beats, though they could be better, are still off the chain and usually serve as a good backing for Tech's lyrics. He's grown a lot since Vol. 1, and has improved a lot. While his first album seemed to be a collection of freestyles (with the major exception of the classic "Dance With The Devil"), Vol. 2 seems more full and complete. The songs actually sound like songs, with hooks and everything. Tech has also varied his topics since last time. "You Never Know", "One(Remix)", and "Peruvian Cocaine" are all strayed away from the usual angry political attacks.

Basically, this album is ill. His new album "The Middle Passage" should be droppin any minute now so be sure to check it out.

Socialist Propaganda.......2006-03-05

I usually respect an artist's political beliefs but not when they try to force it on the rest of us by making a whole album about it. The music is boring, most of the beats are really bad and there is nothing interesting here. It's simply the same B.S message that we've heard from Chuck D, Paris, and other similar and just as crappy artists. This is not entertaining, and there is no intelligence here either. It's just a collection of rants disguised as music and an attempt to cash in on the recent political climate.

Heavy hitting both emotionally and intelligently........2006-03-01

"Nobody's better than me, they just have better marketing schemes." ~ Immortal Technique
(4 1/2 STARS) Immortal Technique's "Revolutionary Vol. 2" and "Vol. 1" for that matter are an example of real underground hip hop, the kind of underground hip hop that only has a few short reviews on Amazon.com. The type of underground hip hop that you won't hardly ever find at your local CD store. The type of underground hip hop that is so underground, underground fans don't know who he is. With that said, this isn't a particularly good or bad thing. It shows two things. First, it shows that any emcee as radical as Immortal Technique, underground or mainstream, will be shunned by media and institutions everywhere. Second, it is simply a shame that anyone with as much talent as Technique is so slept on. Recently, "Revolutionary 2" has gained a bit more notoriety, and certainly more attention then his debut, but ultimately Technique is a very talented rapper who is so opinionated, he has whittled his own fan base down to a select group of people - and good for him. Any artist willing to stay true to themselves and not compromise their message is an artist worth listening to. Don't get me wrong, there are things I don't like about this album, without a doubt, but ironically, but I can't complain really. You get exactly what you pay for with this album, because this is, without a doubt, a one-way ticket into the mind of a revolutionary, and when I say revolutionary, I don't mean a politically active emcee the likes of Mos Def. I mean an outspoken, coup-d'etat, overthrow the government type of revolutionary, and to many people, such a person is irrational or even frightening, but regardless of first impressions, do not allow yourself to pass over this emcee. He is far too talented not to be known or appreciated.

The production on "Revolutionary Vol. 2" is often incredibly well done. In fact, almost every song is backed with a strong, melodic, powerful melody, often using intruments such as horns or electric guitar to stir things up. Every song has production that outlines the message of the song incredibly well. On songs such as "Harlem Streets," the beat is a very somber, lulling guitar melody meant to evoke emotions, whereas production on songs such as "Crossing The Boundary," producers employed a very loud, horn-blaring in-your-face sound to emphasize Techniques showcase of battle-rhymes. No matter what the production, what the sound or what the lyrics, everything about this album is shaped to one thing; the message. Immortal Technique is without a doubt centered and oriented on what it is he's saying, and molds everything about his music to fit.

His lyrics on this album are, I have to say, absolutely amazing. Not in the same way Little Brother's "The Minstrel Show," was amazing, or in the same way Masta Ace's "Disposable Arts" became a classic. I can't say that this CD is, or will ever be, a classic, but credit has to be given where credit is due. Technique is just off the hook in more ways than one. Artists like Little Brother are the most adept lyricists I have ever heard at telling a story, and making you forget that every line is supposed to rhyme. Their lyrics just flow. Masta Ace's lyrics are a low-key mix between story-telling and clever wordplay, as are other artists like Wordsworth. Immortal Techniques lyrics are seldom stories - only one cut in this vein on this album. No, Technique's lyrics consist of two things: vicious bttle rhymes, and unforgiving political commentaries. They are centered around clever wordplay, and use Technique's talents for mind-bendingly clever lyrics to push his message to the forefront. With all of this said, however, there is one main thing about this album I don't like. Immortal Technique purposefully makes himself unlikeable. His battle-rhymes are often so intensely violent, perverted or disturbing, I can only compare them to Jedi Mind Trick's "Violent By Design," which is an album that in the long run is just too violent for replay value. There is a thankful saving grace here, however. On almost every one of Techniques battle rhymes, he still manages to sneak in piercing social commentaries that strike close to home, no matter WHO you are or WHERE you live. He points out faults in every aspect of the social spectrum and packs a powerful punch when mixed with his angry word-play. Ultimately, it's simply his attitude that irritates me. There are plenty of angry emcees, just look at Jean Grae, Royce da 5'9" or Murs but all of these artists have one thing in common. They're personable, often likeable, and you feel like connected to them in one way or another. Technique makes himself just plain unlikeable, and makes no effort to reach out to his fans. I know he doesn't care, and I know he doesn't have to be likeable. He's talented, but even so, the biggest problem with this album is that it lacks that attachment value that Jean Grae's "This Week" or Wordsworth's "Mirror Music" cultivated so succesfully, and when you combine this with Techniques violent exhibitions of lyricism, it makes it hard sometimes to stick with it. NEVERTHELESS, every time I feel this way, I skip to one of his political songs, the ones that stir up emotions, and remember why I love this album. This CD is more than worth the money, simply for his incredible lyricism, his unequalled production (truly amazing production here, whew,) and most importantly, his political rhymes. Keep one thing in mind: Technique may not make you like HIM, but he certainly makes ou feel sorry for the poor and oppressed everywhere, and stirs powerful emotions of wanting to make change for their sakes, and for that, if for nothing else, "Revolutionary Vol. 2" is irreplacable.

I know I just hilighted the negatives of this album, but really, those are the ONLY things about this CD I don't like, and even with those faults, this album may be the prelude to a classic. Why the do you think I gave it five stars? Because it deserves it. Let me give you a few examples of what makes this album so mind-blowing. Track four, "Harlem Streets" is Techniques first REAL show of powerful lyricism, and is a perfect example of his talent to empathize with those impoverished and oppressed. "Gun shots rock the earth like a meteor shower/Bowling For Columbine fear, giving the media power/...It's like Cambodia the killing fields uptown/We live in distress and hang the flag upside down/The sound of conservative politicians on television/People in the hood are blind so they tell us to listen." Following this song comes "Obnoxious." Whew, if ever there was a violent battle track, this is it, but the thing is, this song is the most mind-blowingly clever song. No joke, and even though I feel guilty occasionally, it really is too clever to turn away from. "I'm obnoxious, can't you tell?/I run through little Havanna yelling 'Viva Fidel'/Let's face it, your basic, you aren't half the man that I am/I'll throw your gang sign up, and then I'll spit on my hand/...I'll choke your friends in front of you to prove that you're falling off/And you won't do **** about it like the church during the holocaust." I skipped over a great deal of the worst lines for online censorship sake, but even here Technique vents his battle rhymes while making a point, and that is in part what makes Technique the unique and so incredibly talented emcee that he is. In response to a previous reviewer, Susan H. Solverson, to say that the issues Technique addresses on this album are out of date is to be downright insensitive and, sorry, ignorant. Is 9/11 an out of date issue now? We've waged a "war on terrorism" based on the attack on the twin towers. Is poverty in the ghetto an issue of the past? Is the corruption of our government irrelevant now? I don't think so.

SUMMARY: I could go on for hours quoting this album, but I can't, because I don't have enough room, and I doubt any reader has enough patience, but I have to emphasize one thing. Immortal Technique is one of the top five most talented WORD-PLAY emcees I have ever heard. I have to emphasize word-play, because in reality, that is undoubtedly his greatest strength, and while it is indeed a far cry from the story-telling songs of Talib Kweli or Foreign Exchange, it is on just the same level of talent. I can honestly say that I like aaalmost all the songs on this CD, and every time I listen to it, I get drunk off Technique's intoxicating lyrics. Don't sleep on this album. There are times you'll need a strong stomach, but they pale in comparison to the consistent flow of clever lyrical talent, the kind that causes you to hit rewind on your CD player two or three times before moving onto the next song. Likeable or not, his talent cannot be overlooked. Highly recommended.

can't spell rap without crap? .......2006-02-01

I was never a fan of rap, I was more of a heavy metal, alternative, artsy type music listener myself. I listened to mainly Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Portishead, Anidifranco, Muse, etc. But I was introduced to Immortal technique vol.1 and vol.2 by a friend. I always thought that rap lyrics were all about cash, women ("bitches and hos"), bling, sex, "shaking that ass" etc. But Immortal Technique breaks that sterotype and sings about things much deeper than just those typical essential ingredients in rap. He has really intense lyrics, and its so dramatic and angry. But it's not like some songs where you can't understand a word the rapper is saying, which is good because being able to hear the lyrics is an important part in music to a degree. He sings clearly because he has a message that he's trying to deliver, and it's always nice to know what the artist is singing about. Immortal Technique sings powerfully about mainly the government and corruption and racism in our culture today. He is very opinionated and has a perspective on everything, his raps are anything but weak or superficial. So if you believe in the saying "you can't spell rap without crap" then you should listen to immortal technique because it's not "crap."

Browning at his Best!.......2007-02-24

My appreciation for John Browning began when I heard about the esteem to which Samuel Barber held him, reflected in Barber's choice to write his Piano Concerto for Browning. Barber's decision was motivated by having heard Browning play his Piano Sonata, originally written for Horowitz. So Browning's recording, originally released on a relatively obscure Phoenix USA label, came to be regarded as the standard by which to measure other recordings.

Browning re-recorded Barber's Piano Sonata late in his career as if to make one final statement about the piece. That recording, made in 1993 for the MusicMasters Label, is preferred by many but seems to me farther from Barber's original conception of the music.

It was with great delight when I realized that this CD brought to the public a previously unreleased recording of Barber's Piano Sonata performed by Browning. Unlike the two other recordings mentioned, this recording is a live performance, and it even includes opening comments by Browning to his audience about the sonata. Unfortunately we do not know when this performance was recorded -- even the author of the liner notes admits to not knowing when these tracks were recorded -- but judging by the performance and the available recording technology, I would estimate it was sometime between his first and second studio recordings -- probably temporally closer to the first recording.

However, this newly available performance is spiritually much closer to his later recording. Whereas in his first studio recording Browning seems to have set out to capture a "pure" performance of Barber's work, here he allows himself pianisitic freedom and spontaneity that is entirely welcome. Though there are some smudges, the power and conviction of this playing is spellbinding. Unlike his last recording, this one to my ears is not marred by the some seemingly mannered playing. I believe Browning is responding to his very appreciative audience and he gives them a performance worth remembering.

Anyone interested in Barber's Piano Sonata will want to hear this newly available recording, but the true jewels of this disc might be some of the other works. The disc organizes recordings made in several different venues into a coherent program. We begin with two works by Chopin: the "Ocean" Etude (Op.25, No. 12) and the famous D-flat Major Nocturne (Op. 27, No. 2). The recording of the etude hails from 1950 (Browning would have been 16 or 17 years old) and is remarkable for the artistry, color and technical prowess he demonstrates, although the recorded sound is just barely acceptable. The Nocturne is another story entirely. This recording is among the tracks, along with Barber Piano Sonata, whose origin is not known. We know it is a live performance and somewhere in the first third of the piece Browning seems to move into a trance state and the music invites us into that special moment that happens all-too-rarely in the concert hall when we are simply transported by the music. For most of his performance, you could hear a pin drop.

The program then continues with two Debussy pieces (Night in Granada and Fireworks) both played beautifully and idiomatically. We join members of the audience whose delight is evident when he announces he will be playing Fireworks.

After Barber's Sonata, we are treated to three Etude-Tableaux by Rachmaninov and a Prelude from Op. 32. The three Etude-Tableaux are part of the recital that also included the Chopin Nocturne, Debussy pieces and Barber Sonata, and they benefit from his warm feelings for this audience that receives him so generously. I prefer these performances to the later studio recording of Rachmaninov that Browning made in 1986 on a Delos CD.

The recital then continues with two Spanish pieces [Andaluza by de Falla (No. 4 from Piezas Españolas) and El Puerto by Albéniz (from Iberia)] which are less successful in my humble estimation. Browning then continues with a brilliant and delectable performance of Rachmaninov's transcription of Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee, much to his audience's delight.

Fittingly, the recital ends with another recording from the earliest period, when Browning was only 16 or 17. He plays the little known but immediately appealing Etude in B-flat Minor by Francis Hendriks, to great audience acclaim.

This is probably the single most appealing demonstration of Browning's pianistic mastery available on disc. I highly recommend this CD.

Anything that starts off with Shura Cherkassky's delicious account of a Tango by Albéniz has got to have something going for it, and this set seems to score over and over again. It's an interesting piece of programming, since having got off to a Spanish start, we are led through Bach (traditionally the starter), Balakirev (his famously unplayable Islamey thrown off coolly by Julius Katchen), Bartók, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Gershwin, Gottschalk, Granados, Grieg, and Handel. One thing they certainly all have in common is the passion of the title, and they are well served by our guides, who include Tureck, Kempff, Kocsis, Lill, Barenboim, Argerich, Michelangeli, De Larrocha, Gilels, and Gavrilov. It is worth mentioning so many, since these are top names in their respective fields and it gives an indication of what you can expect from this set. And while you would rightly expect veteran Spanish pianist Alicia de Larrocha to give us the full treatment in Albéniz and Granados, listen to her delightful piece of Handel, which concludes the set. Recordings range in time from 1955 to 1998, and the freshness of the playing transcends changes in recording technology during those years. --Keith Clarke

Great Classical Piano.......2005-08-04

I picked up this CD because it had some of my favorite piano pieces of Bach, Brahms and Bartok on it.

The renditions on these discs are terrific. And every single selection is really worth listening to- this is some of the best classical piano out there. If you're like me and aren't really concerned about owning the complete Bach, Brahms, Chopin, etc, this is the disc to pick up for a good sampling of it all.

And it's a good value too. Two discs for the price of one!
