Amazon.com essential recording

Ordinarily, it pays to be wary of collections such as these, which often promise a lot but deliver a mishmash of disconnected excerpts. This disc, however, is something of an exception: you really do get just about all of Puccini's best arias, which is possible, because he didn't write so many operas that choosing the best moments becomes a matter of the producer's personal taste. Also, Puccini's operas are so popular that every major label has excellent complete recordings of all of them, so in making this compilation it was possible to cast from strength: all the singers here are fine. In fact, the only proviso that needs to be made before you rush out and add this disc to your collection is that it's wrong to assume that all of Puccini's best tunes lie in his arias. The opening 10 minutes of any one of his operas will tell you that's not true. So by all means enjoy this disc--then start sampling the operas complete. --David Hurwitz

Correction to the entry by "sergiocqh".......2005-11-08

"Quando m'en vo" is not omitted from this CD; it is just called "Musetta's waltz song." It is the same aria.

Fantastic!.......2003-10-14

This is one of the first opera CDs I ever got. It's wonderful for just about any body;from the newbies like me or the opera fanatics. I especially like 'In Questa Reggia'. Buy it now!!

HATE OPERA? THIS ONE WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND.......2003-09-04

The Ultimate Puccini Collection features some of Puccini's most arias and will appeal to even the most ardent operaphobes.

A great listening experience featuring some of the greatest opera performers of all time.

"Ultimate" only if you like your opera "al fresco"!.......2002-06-13

The music is without question, among the most beautiful ever written. But the quality of the fidelity tells me that many of the selections were recorded live in concert in outdoor venues. I wish that was clear to me before I bought the disc. So, is the music the ultimate? YES! Is the recording the ultimate? NO!

Wonderful Performance but Average Recording Quality.......2002-02-18

I love opera! I love Puccini! Not only is the vocalism important to me, but the quality of the recording as well. I enjoy my hi-tech sound system. I like to feel as if I am sitting in the front row of the first balcony when I listen to opera. This CD is excellent! The vocalists were well chosen. The technical performances are eloquent and emotional, as Puccini should be. However, the quality of the recording is not very good. No matter how you adjust your sound system, the recording is a bit tinny and as a result, the emotional high points of the arias are not as vibrant as they could be if the recording were of better quality. I would recommend this CD to anyone who loves Puccini and who is not as finicky as I!

Great, but not their best.......2007-02-11

I love The Crystal Method; their music is a fresh change from the same old songs on the radio. If you like electronic music, Crystal Method does it the best. This CD mixes various artist's songs like the Door's "Roadhouse Blues" and New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle". I prefer Community Service I to this CD, but my favorite Crystal Method CD is Tweekend.

I love their remixes!.......2006-03-23

Track 5, the Roadhouse Blues remix, is a marvellous piece of work, a tribute to the Doors. Worth the price of the CD if you've ever seen Morrison live.

whatever.......2005-12-19

this is a great mix. and to say it doesn't compare w/ Legion of Boom just shows that you dont know this music very well. Legion of Boom was garbage. this is the first interesting album i've heard from them since vegas.

so-so.......2005-10-08

I am a big fan of TCM, but I was kinda disappointed after listening to this album. And not that it is that bad, some of the songs, like #2 & #7 are great....but overall I got too much noise and not enough good beat and music. In my opinion it lacks balance and it's certainly no match for any of TCM's previous albums.

For TCM, this is a really poor album.......2005-10-06

I absolutely loved their previous albums, especially "Legion of Boom". They went really wrong with this album, though. It's like some kind of aerobics CD - just a non-stop beat with no imagination. Their older stuff was much more creative and had rhythms that were awesome.

I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 or zero because it's still The Crystal Method. But I really wish I could return the album, it's that bad to me. Be sure to listen to the sound clips to make sure it's what you want before you buy.

Amazon.com

Exciting, edgy, and energetic, Community Service, the Crystal Method's debut DJ mix release, is an instant success. Method men Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan have molded 15 cuts from the likes of Orbital, Rage Against the Machine, and Evil 9 into their own futureshock soundscape, with a result that sounds like an after-hours electronic speed-romp through a postapocalyptic Playstation mega city. At times, Community Service sounds like the sister of German techno-chase film Run Lola Run, nowhere more so than during Koma & Bones' pulsating "Morpheus (Meat Katie and Dylan Rhymes Mix)" and Force Mass Motion vs. Dylan Rhymes's "Hold Back." Add some nice funky flashes to the overall techno-based energy, and Community Service is an entertaining reminder that these boys still know their way around decks as well as desktops. --Steffan Chirazi

Customer Reviews:

bland and boring.......2007-01-03

considering it had the TCM name on the cover, i thought this would be off the top, trippy stuff. it sadly wasnt. my first thing i noticed was that it was boring...there was nothing special about it. no electronic effects that grabbed me like Vegas did.

i know this wasnt a TCM album, but i figgured it HAD to be good, right? i mean....it had their name on the front.

i am a huge fan of meth, i love them love them love them, but....this album just didnt fly.

Does It Match Up To Their Name???.......2006-11-09

I would have to rate this one a five since I haven't heard many of their mixes. Upon purchasing this CD, I personally found this one more appealling to my ears compared to a few of their other Mixes. Please make sure you play this Mix on a Quality sound system otherwise you may be disappointed. The Crystal Method have been labeled by some as the loudest group in concert, therefore this Mix attests to that and appearantly was one of the group's focus. If your not ready to dance to this music I recommend it for high speed freeway music. (Warning, drive at your own discretion.)

Community Service = Essential Beats.......2004-12-22

This disc from the 'Method was the perfect predecessor to the incredible "Tweekend" cd, at the same time bringing fresh tracks (remixed or not; that is irrelevant) to the over-rated & overplayed "Vegas" release of 1997.
Scott & Ken demonstrate the essence of any electronica dj's reason to exist: remixing skills that twist otherwise snoozer tracks into their signature big beat/hard hop groove.
Being much more accessible than the ego-heavy Prodigy & having diversity of style over remix-only outfits (Rabbit in the Moon plus hundreds of other wannabe's) keeps this 'Island of Groove' (a.k.a. The Crystal Method) the standard of the genre.

Not bad for a mix album.......2004-11-22

First of all, if you buy this CD and expect another Vegas or Tweekend, you will be disappointed. What you will find here is a continuous mix of songs mixed by TCM. More breakbeat-oriented than any other TCM work, I found Community Service to be a bit repetitive, but it certainly has its share of enjoyable tracks. Breakin' on the Streets, Name of the Game, Boom, Renegades of Funk, and Paranoid were my favorites.

This CD is definitely not for everyone. If you are a big TCM fan, I would recommend this CD, or if you are simply a big electronic music enthusiast.

...But It's Not Ken & Jordan..........2004-02-06

CAUTION!
THIS ISN'T A TRUE TCM CD!

this is a mix cd, and everything a mix cd should be.

it starts out spookily with "No Soul" and doesn't start to get upbeat until the third track, "Breakin' On the Streets". then it drops down again for "Morpheus" and continues to rise and fall throughout.
but once you've heard "...how deep the rabbit-hole goes" for the final time, you know it's solid.

recommended if you like techno (that's a rather big prerequesite), and you should be ready to fall in love with the Method again.

Album Description

A very popular teaching tape, this album features chants taught through Reclaiming's classes and rituals, many of which are now familiar to Pagans around the globe. 21 great chants in all, performed by a small chorus with some hand drumming. Chants are written by many different people, including Starhawk, Rose May Dance, Raven Moonshadow, Shekhinah Mountainwater, Z. Budapest, and Ian Corrigan (among others). All lyrics are included in the CD booklet.

Excellent Educational Tool .......2007-07-07

Chants: Ritual Music is a great CD for learning popular songs used in the Wiccan/Pagan community. Not only are you likely to hear these chants in any public rituals attended, but you can also use them in solitary practice. The chants are simple enough in case you intend to modify them, or you can put your favorite track on repeat and use it as background for meditation.

Each chant is, on avergage, about two or three minutes long, which means you have plenty of time to become familiar with the melody and words, but before it gets drawn out or boring. The lyrics are also printed in the accompanying booklet.

The chants are lovely, and most have simple harmonies, which can also be learned fairly easily. The singers are from the Reclaiming Community so while they are certainly enthusiastic, they are not professional musicians. However, this is a high-quality recording.

I facilitate a teaching coven, and I can see myself using this CD as a valuable tool for years to come. recommend this CD to anyone looking for basic beginner Pagan chants.

Easy to learn and powerful........2007-03-10

This is just what I was looking for. It didn't matter to me that the singing was not perfect. I was looking for simple, meaningful, easy to learn pagan songs and chants. I use them all the time in rituals. They're awesome.

Great CD for rituals and classes.......2005-10-11

This simply-recorded CD contains 19 of the most-loved chants from Reclaiming-tradition Witchcraft. The arrangements are simple and clear, making it easy to learn chants in a few listens.

If you are wanting chants and songs for small rituals, classes, or other events, this is the CD to get.

The CD is not "easy listening," and might not make the best background music for a Pagan-themed art opening. Most chants are drums-and-voices only.

But the recording is actually very listenable, and I enjoy putting it on from time to time, just to be reminded of an old chant I've forgotten about.

Reclaiming also produced "Second Chants," which is more polished music in the same vein; and "Let It Begin," which is music from the Spiral Dance ritual. Both are excellent.

If you want to learn useful chants for ritual and classes, "Chants" is the CD for you.

Inspiring!.......2005-10-08

I just listened to this CD and I can't get these inspiring chants out of my head (not that I would want to)!
I can definately see my husband and I using these chants in rituals and for just sitting around and singing.
I felt my spirit uplift as I played this CD. Each and every person that sang or played an instrument brought something spiritual and powerful to these chants.
If I had to pick one word to describe this CD... it would be "inspiring". I was inspired not only to sing along, but to dance and feel the energy within and around. Inspiring.

Simple chants and songs for the Pagan revival.......2005-06-01

Collected here are several simple chants and songs inspired by the practices of Pagan Witchcraft. Intended more as a teaching tool rather than as an 'easy listening' piece, Chants provides several tracks that are appropriate for use in circle and for inducing trance. Most of these chants are naturally (and appropriately) repetitive, while a few others will classify more as songs whose melodies and rhythms are bound to delight and inspire. If you are looking for something to sit back and relax with while sipping a glass of wine then look elsewhere, but if you are intending to learn a body of material than can be used or adapted for circle or coven use then Chants fits the bill nicely.

Thou shalt love this..........2007-02-25

I've been listening to this CD for the last 2 weeks non-stop. It is excellent! The lyrics have a theological depth that you just don't find in many modern-day worship CDs. Many of the songs are old hymns and gospel songs that are completely reworked melodically. I love it. Fall in love again with some of the great Christ-exalting songs of the Faith.

Time-honored, God-honoring with contemporary appeal.......2006-06-29

I just enjoy the concept of this genre: putting old hymns with their stately beauty to new music. Even if you enjoy the old melodies, the new tunes revitalize the lyrics and make you catch facets of the words that you may not have previously noticed. Although this album is a bit more "bluegrass" in style than I generally prefer, it quickly grew on me and is now one of my favorites.

"Grace" is Amazing!.......2004-07-10

"Indelible Grace" places the amazing lyrics of classic hymns into music newly written for the songs. A very high standard was obviously demanded, as the result is stunningly joyful and beautiful, with impeccable production, talented musicianship, and wonderful vocals. This is a truly professional creation, and it sounds like it.

In style the disc is alt-folk rock (somewhat like Caedmon's Call), with a mix of electric and acoustic guitars, bass, piano, drums/percussion spiced with accordion, mandolin, jew's harp, and harmonica. This is a masterful recording and a delightful listen, full of beautiful music and timeless lyrics. I whole-heartedly recommend it!

WILL CHANGE YOUR VIEW ON HYMNS.......2003-07-16

If you grew up singing hymns (or not) that made you feel as though you must have been living in a parallel universe because you couldn't "connect" with them, this is most definitely a must-buy for you and your contemporaries. The solid lyrical content is there, but the tunes are crafted in such a way as to relate to everybody from baby boomers to pre-teens. The tunes are not cheezy (like too many contemporary Christian songs and choruses), but are in the folk-alternative style, and delivered with as much passion and skill as you will ever hear. And, they are all easy to listen to. The musicianship is top-notch, and it is well produced. In short, it's something you could pop into your CD and enjoy anywhere, anytime, you could give a copy to your friends, and they would thank you. Oh, yeah, and be sure to buy volume 2 of this series. It is likewise great, plus it has a song or two on it from Derek Webb (formerly of Caedmon's Call). Enjoy! Well worth your time, effort, and sheckels!

Music to worship God in Spirit and truth.......2002-10-24

When I want to worship God with my heart and mind, with biblically correct themes and genuine inspiration, then this is one of the CDs I play. Those who disagree with hymnody are free to do so and if they wish to deprive themselves of music such as this, then they are free to do that too, but I hope that they will not succeed in stopping it for the rest of us.

Artifice not art.......2005-04-20

This album is a big tub of artifice not art. Brian Adams is awful and simply has no voice and probably has nodes on his vocal cords. Pavarotti obviously stands out because he chose the other singers and despite the enormity of his talent (benefit charity or not) offers up shlock. Gustafson has a nice voice, but shouldn't sing Moon River until she learns the words - her voice serves the classical genre better. As for Boceli; I would rather eat worms than listen to another of his tremulous renditions. Sorry, this is pure junk for the ears, regardless of its attempts to raise funds. It does not raise artistic standards!

Live Audience, Variety=Enjoyable Listening Experience.......2002-09-12

O.k., I admit it, I bought this CD because I'm a die hard Andrea Bocelli fan, but I discovered I really love the variety of singers and the spontaneity and excitement of the live performance at the Parco Novi Sad in Modena. Particular favorites--Bryan Adam's "Please Forgive Me," Pavarotti and Giorgia's "Santa Lucia Luntana," and the ensemble singing of "Brindisi." The combination of voices and styles, the live
audience, and the knowledge that the event was performed for charity, all add up to a very enjoyable listening experience.

Fun.......2002-02-07

This is a fun CD with many great singers and a good one. Of Course Pavarotti is one of the greatest voices ever; and along with Bocelli, Nancy Gustafson and Giorgia this CD is filled with great singing and Brian Adams is a good singer. Its just fun to hear Adams singing O Sola Mio with Pavarotti; and its Fun to Hear Pavarotti sing Moon River All for Love, etc.,. Highlights are Santa Lucia Luntana with Pav and Gustafson, Who Wants To Live Forever with Giorgia, Notte 'e Piscatore with Pav and Bocelli, and the two encores with everyone singing (All For Love and Brindisi). The Production of the CD is excelent as well.

Excellent live album.......2001-11-08

This is the 2nd in the 'Pavarotti and Friends' series of benefit concerts. Although there are not the large amount of "superstars" on this cd as later 'Friends' albums were to have, this is an excellent live recording, and I could and have listened to it many times. I don't understand the previous reviewers, but to each his own! This album also introduced me to the beautiful voice of Nancy Gustafson, and I definately want to check out her other work now. And who can resist the wonderful pairing of Pavarotti and Bryan Adams on "O Sole Mio". Worth the price in itself. One thing though .. I know this album and concert was done for charity, but nowhere in the booklet or cd cover does it say which charity is benefitting. The booklet includes lots of photos from the night. Recommended.

torture.......2001-09-25

i would rather ingest shards of glass than listen to this schlock again. whoever thought up the idea of having the phenomenal pavarotti sing with such morons as bryan adams should be forced to stand in the corner and then go to bed without supper. i don't care if this was for a good cause. big deal. give to the red cross or something. but don't make me listen to this horrific CD ever again. it's painful.

Great Starter Album.......2006-11-03

The best recommendation for any album is that you buy more albums from that artist. You should buy this album, looking for the right price. Your friends will think better of your music collection when they hear this.

The album moves along at pace. The voice is great. All tracks were good. Nothing from left field leaving you wondering why. You may possibly want a little more variety.

The last track "The Coat Is Always On" left me wanting to listen to the album again, possibly with headphones to hear the background.

There are twelve tracks, good album legnth making it value for your dollar. The only downside was there was no booklet.

Not a huge fan of Cat power but love this album........2006-09-08

Not a huge fan of cat power but a huge fan of this album. I feel like Cat power has raw moments in this album that are divine to herself. I love her cover of Smog's bathyspere. well said by whoever on allmusic.com "and Smog's "Bathysphere" show off Marshall's ability to make any song a Cat Power song." If you listen to Smog's bathysphere it is almost completely different. have to be in the right mood to listen to this. can be boring if not feeling like her. but can be intense if going through her music. Nude as the news is an amazing amazing song. and Steve Shelley's part in the last song reminds me of Sonic Youth and reminds me of his importance and uniqueness often not appreciated that he often doesn't recieve. I am dissapointed at Chan's new stuff and wish the rest of her stuff went here. not for me, like her new stuff is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with the corners cut off, but that is just me. Listen to this. I feel like she knew herself better here, even though she didn't seemingly have it all together....but i am not here to talk about that. converse me.

Better Songs Have Not Come By Often.......2006-07-20

Chan Marshall has more talent and heart in her awkward pinky finger than most A-list music celebs have in the course of their entire careers. Gritty, emotionally charged, expressive, and with a light at the end of the dark and twisted tunnel...but somewhere up ahead. A guitar, a snare, a moog, and the truth. These are better songs than you will usually ever hear in the course of a lifetime.

Later albums by this artist may disappoint, but this one never will. It may, however, make you a little crazy with too much play.

Edgy, poetic, and painful.......2006-02-25

I know the name is an immediate turn off. Cat Power?? but trust me this is really great music, especially for the fans of jeff buckley, or Nick Drake; maybe even ani difranco. The album is mostly acoustic, but it's not soft, it's raw and genuine, very heartfelt, and moving. The haunting melodies will be caught onto your mind, and if you're lonely like me, you'll find most of the melodies just to your liking. It's a really great rain album, or a disc for those grey winters. This album really helps me write, and puts mental pictures, and plays scenes off in my head. It's pure art.

played so frequently, I've worn it out and need another.......2005-07-03

I love the raw sad funny pretty qualities in the songs here. taking people. king rides by, in this hole, nude as the news are the favs but the whole thing never gets old for me, only the cd itself as an object apparently wears out and I need another one.

I'm Covered.......2006-09-06

I payed $15 for this CD. After listening to it when i got home, i felt bad that I ONLY PAID $15 FOR IT. This Cd could have easily been priced at $40 bucks and would have been well worth it.

Not often that a double CD gets 5 stars (Shekina Glory Live excluded) cause it leaves a lot of room for disappointment. But then again we are talking about John P. Kee (G.O.A.T). And the fact that he's doing most of his hits from the years on this cd with the choir that made it hits and with MUSIC DIRECTOR GARLAND WALLER back for this one, it definately doesn't dissapoint. The Only song i skip is we're back. Seemed more like a self promotion and really didn't fit on the cd. One bad track out of what 32. that aint bad.

The new track IM Covered is probably the best song john has done. Ya better than the strengh album, and the show up album. has a nice danceable groove and the vocals are top notch. Can't sit still while listening to the song.

As one person stated the transitions between the songs on the medleys are flawless which has a lot to do with the writing style of Pastor Kee.

You are definately familiar with the songs on this album however they all have a new sound. Vote for most improved song is Wave it Away... the intro is enough to make you say wow by itself.

A must have if you are a John Collector and Love Gospel Music.

Great cd- Pastor Kee, you did it again.......2006-07-30

could not wait for one to be shipped,so I purchased one at Walmart.
I truly enjoy both cd's. Thanks Pastor Kee and New Life.

This Album Is Superlative.......2006-06-11

This double album is one of the best I've ever purchased. Very few songs that disappoint, and the way the songs are mixed together in the medley are excellent. Now, there are songs that do disappoint, such as 'I Must Tell Jesus,' which kind of bogs down the second CD, and 'We're Back,' which seems a little out of place in my opinion. 'The Lord Is Able' helps out 'We're Back,' though, and many songs are appropriately placed and allow the spirit of holy freedom in Jesus to flow in most any setting despite these hiccups. This CD has a fun quality that liberates listeners, and I find it really enjoyable. 'I'm Covered' is an absolute banger. 'High Praise' kind of leaves you scratching your head at first, but you end up enjoying it anyway. The 'Mother Bernice Jenkins' tracks are entertaining (my six year old loves those parts), and, for the most part, the mix of songs combined with the awesome musicianship (not suprising considering the source) and timeless vocals (it's Kee, so you know he works it) make this album a jewel worth investing in. I really can only think of two tracks that I don't really love, and that's out of twenty-six music tracks. GET THIS CD!!! You'll love it!!

Maybe it will grow on me........2006-06-01

When I first got it, I felt let down. Maybe I was too excited.

"We're Back", "Wait On Him", and "I Shall Do" are great songs. Perhaps John P. Kee should have condensed this work onto one CD.

I confidently recommend his "VIP - Nothing but the Hits" album instead.

Just Perfect.......2006-04-11

This cd had to grow on me, but once it did, it stayed in the cd player. Listening to some of the great and classic John P. Kee songs, again, along with a few new tunes, was awesome. I know that this was a memorable night live, and I promise you if you are a John P. Kee fan you will not be disappointed. This cd will have you waving your hands in the air, through out the whole concert. Be blessed.

Amazing music.......2007-07-26

Nico Muhly's music reminds me of a combination of chamber music, Bjoerk's Medulla CD (Muhly actually played the piano on one of the pieces), and Philip Glass / Steve Reich / John Adams (in that order?) influence. The music is exciting, because there are many things happening, and often you wouldn't reall expect them. What's also imortant in this context is the producer, Valgeir Sigurdsson - who is not simply a producer in the classical sense, but who actively influences the music in his very own way.

Do I recommend this? Certainly yes! A very good start - and my personal favorite - is the last song on the CD, "Keep in touch".

Speaks at low volume.......2007-04-22

This debut disk has gotten a lot of hype, but it's hard to hear why. The music is spare and pretty, but not a whole lot more. Well, it is Arty with a capital A but it almost sounds like the main concern is not to do anything aesthetically uncool, rather than to really try anything or take a risk. There are a few odd touches, like having the clarinettist miked so closely that the clacking of the keys sounds like tap dancing. That made me want to turn down the volume.

An amazing debut album.......2007-04-15

Nico Mulhy's "Speaks Volumes" is an amazing collection of diverse, beautiful works for small chamber ensemble. Covering an amazingly wide range of styles, the album's tracks betray the composer's own unique biography: Columbia University English major, Julliard Composition student, collaborator with both Bjork and Antony and the Johnsons, and accomplished percussionist and keyboard player. Most of all, his six-year stint as an editor and performer with the Philip Glass ensemble shines through. Deliberate, serious, and sparse, "Speaks Volumes" is loud and clear.

Rev Milton Brunson Doesn't Dissappoint!.......2007-01-10

I thoroughly enjoy this musical masterpiece of gospel songs. Enjoyed them years ago, and can enjoy them now all put together in one package. When I want to praise the Lord at home, or in my car, I just put this CD in, and usher in His Holy Spirit!

Pam.......2006-11-06

The CD has all of my favorites. It is truly a blessing, I love it!

Absolutely Fabulous!.......2006-07-10

Milton Brunson & The Thompson Community Choir has always been known for putting out songs that would keep churches, choirs & Christians singing for times to come. The timeless message and the unmistakable pure and unique sound of gospel music that the modern church has gotten away from is captured and preserved in the many blessed renditions on this CD & others. On each song, the lead singers are over the top. They usher the listener into the presence of God and extend a standing invitation to everyone with ears to hear to worship with them, as the choir reiterates and resonates the blessed theme. How refreshing, what a blessing!

you gotta hear these people.......2005-12-11

i have been a professional classical musician for 30 years, and i want to tell you, these people know how to play music.

these people play music that speaks to the heart, to the soul, to the very being.

beethoven? mahler? smetana? prokofiev? aretha?, ray charles?

these people sing the music that speaks to the heart, to the soul, to the very being.

check them out, if want to hear really really great music.
