Old friend from the past........2007-07-26

Tales of the Unexpected, had not heard this since I bought the Vinyl album, when it first came out. I had to get the cd, and it`s like seeing an old friend long lost. What can I say the music is as good sounding as it was back then. Buy it!

GOOD SMOOTH BLUES GUITAR/BASS/DRUMS/BAND.......2007-03-11

FRANK AND THE BAND ARE ALWAYS COMPLIMENTING EACH OTHERS MUSICAL TALENTS.

Mahogany Rush's Finest!.......2006-08-04

"Tales of the Unexpected," one part studio, one part live, is my favorite Mahogany Rush album. The studio section includes two originals & two covers. The originals "Sister Change" & "Tales of the Unexpected" has Marino stretching out his farthest. Both songs almost bordering on heavy fusion. Marino just cuts out solid magnificent mountains of jazzy guitar runs at the speed of light, he is at once heavy, ethereal, concise & commanding, & his rhythm section cuts it through out following Frank like a car chase down a winding mountain road. "Norwegian Wood" & "All Along the Watchtower" add even more of an ethereal twist than was on the originals. Honestly, Marino made these songs his own with his unique approch, making these songs float on a bed of sweetly scented dream like airwaves carressing my ears & entering my brain like billowing tufts of opium smoke. I was addicted to their dreamy embrace.

The live section features heavy, heavy, gut wrenching blues/metal originals with "Down, Down, Down" & "Door of Illusion" hitting that blues, funk, metal path that was only trodden down by fellow contemporaries Robin Trower & Pat Travers this convincingly in the 70's... hell, at anytime. The live work here on par with Mahogany Rush's excellent "Live" album, leaving one battered & bruised & begging for more!

"Tales of the Unexpected" is Marino's crowning achievement, never to be topped in my opinion. Frank put out numerous albums afterward, but each album just seemed to lose focus to the point Frank was parodying himself. Funny enough, is was not until 2000 with the excellent "Eye of the Strom" that Marino captured past glories.

Marino has always been an artist that was hit & miss, his failures just that, but his success's, oh so sweet! Frank & his band Mahogany Rush can now be looked at as a band that was definitely born of Hendrix, but also pushed the grand man's ideas, & eventually came on to their own being, one of low valleys, but also soaring peaks that beg to be climbed.

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.......2006-04-19

I OWN THIS LP ON VINYL AND NOW CD-THIS IS PURELY A DOUBLE BLESSING- ONE SIDE IS LIVE MATERIAL AND THE OTHER STUDIO MATERIAL .YOU CAN TELL THAT FRANK MARINO AND MAHOGANY RUSH ARE EQUALLY TALENTED IN BOTH ARENA'S ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER IS NOTE FOR NOTE THE SAME SONG HENDRIX WROTE WITH FEW DISCREPENCIES BETWEEN THEM-HONESTLY I THINK HIS VERSION OF NORWEGIAN WOOD IS BETTER THAN THE BEATLES COVER.THEN YOU HEAR SISTER CHANGE AND REALIZE HE HAS HIS OWN TALENTED SONG WRITING ABILITIES AND THE TITLE CUT ONLY SHOWCASES HIS IN STUDIO ABILITY WITH THE INSTRUMENT OF WONDER THE 69 GIBSON SG- THEN YOU FLIP THE LP OVER-DON'T TRY THAT WITH THE CD- LIVE ROCK AND ROLL TO THE CORE-DOOR OF ILLUSION-BOTTOM OF THE BARREL - WOMAN -ALL ORIGINAL TUNES THAT KEEP ON ROCKING EVEN WHEN YOU STOP LISTENING -GO FIGURE-THE LYRICS TO WOMAN ARE GOING THROUGH MY HEAD NOW- BUT I LOVE HER JUST THE SAME- YOU ACTUALLY NEED THIS ALBUM IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT YET -I CAN ONLY THINK OF MAYBE 1 OR 2 OTHER ALBUMS THAT IS ONE HALF LIVE AND ONE HALF STUDIO BUT ONE TOTAL EXPERIENCE - ONE OF THE SHOWS I SAW IN ATLANTA WAS AFTER THIS ALBUM AND I REMENBER SEEING A GUY WITH A T-SHIRT THAT HAD THIS ARTWORK ON IT AND STILL WONDER TODAY WHY DID I NOT BUY ONE THEN --------IN THE UNIVERSE OF GUTIAR PLAYERS THEY ALL BOW DOWN TO THE KING-

Great Progressive Trance CD.......2007-01-10

This purchase was a gamble but it paid off. Art Of Trance releases an amazing proggy beats and beautiful vocal trance. Disc one has more of a progressive sound, while disc two has more melodic and vocal uplifting trance. This definately was not a disappointment. I highly recommend this album to any trance collector/lover.

definitely worth buying.......2006-02-19

Good 2 CD set. I'd have to say both CDs are good. There's some really good tunes here. I wouldn't say this is the pre-party, get really pumped, selection of songs here - but not exactly what this is going after. Just good music. The only track I didn't like was 13 on CD2 as it had this weird noise in the background that was coming through and didn't work at all. Other than that - this is a winner!

An absolute MUST BUY for either the trance or progressive house fan!.......2005-10-26

If you enjoy both progressive house and trance, this will be one of your best purchases of the year. If you only like one or the other, you still should not hesitate to purchase this, as disc 1 is my 2nd best progressive house mix of this year, and disc 2 is my pick for 5th best trance mix '05 (see my listmanias).

All of a sudden, the theme this year seems to be trance DJ's attempting to mix in some progressive house and new sounds into their CD releases. I am curious to know why this is suddenly occuring. Could it be that the labels do not feel they sell well enough when they stick to one genre? I find it hard to believe that so many trance DJ's suddenly stood up in the last few months and wanted to incorporate new progressive house into their mixes.

Tiesto's mix was my least favorite at these new attempts with In Search of Sunrise 4, as he attempted to throw different trance styles along with progressive house onto the same CD, in the same mix. He did this on both discs, and both discs suffered. He also did not use a very good selection of tracks from either genre. Last year, Tall Paul's Live in Bulgaria was a hard house and trance blend, all on the same disc, which actually worked. Armin Van Buuren's State of Trance 2005 was all trance on disc 1, and techno and trance on disc 2, with disc 2 coming up short, but you still had a superb trance mix on disc 1.

Ferry Corsten's Creamfield's incorporates electro house and trance on disc 1 (trance only on the last few tracks) and then all melodic trance on disc 2. That mix and Tales of the Unexpected are the two best examples of mixes incorporating both dance styles this year. Tales of the Unexpected features some dark, progressive house on disc 1, and progressive and melodic trance on disc 2. This mix is a clear winner in both genres. For those who prefer deeper progressive stuff over electro house, you will most likely prefer this to Ferry's.

On this very unexpected Art of Trance release (which was actually out a few months ago in Europe) Disc 1 starts off with 3 nice progressive tracks, before getting into some female vocal tracks with tracks 4 & 5. Track 5 is an incredible Chab remix of the new Rokysopp tune, Only This Moment. I love this track, which is actually features male and female vocals. I haven't heard the original version, which is on Rokysopp's new album, but this dark progressive remix is stunning.

The entire disc is very strong, with some killer, and I mean KILLER tracks here, including Extraweit's stunning, dark instrumental Soopertrack, Max Graham's melodic Does She Know Yet, the hot vocal track I'll Kill You by Terry Grant, and the heavy percussion track This World by Slam featuring Tyrone Power. The only 2 tracks I don't like on this disc are the 2 by Chab! Funny, because one of the best on this disc is his Rokysopp remix!

Disc 2 starts off on your typical trance journey, with an incredible new track by Re:Locate. I don't think they have ever had a bad track yet. A solid blend of trance continues, and we hit a very popular track at nuimber 3, Piiska by AR52, it's a haunting new sound that's been getting tons of spins by DJ's lately. Orana Project's Blue Storm and F Concept's Open Your Mind are the standouts, with the latter being a storming vocal trancer with none other than Tiff Lacey on the mic. She has been a very busy girl lately, with new tracks for ATB and Lost Witness.

Things go techno at the end of disc 2, with the last 3 tracks, and the one I really don't like is Left Right Switch, which doesn't fit the theme of this CD mix at all, even though the last two tracks are very electro sounding (but good).

Overall, an excellent progressive blend with only 2 or 3 bad tracks throughout the 26 featured here. A very sound investment for trance and progressive house lovers, especially if you enjoy both.
