A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

This is one of my favorite praise CD sets. Truly inspirational songs sung from the heart by a spirit led church. It will lead you into worship.

Wonderful!!.......2006-01-25

As usual, the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir has managed, by the grace of God, to produce a cd that serves as an instrument to worship- not entertainment. You can hear their love for the Lord in every song and every testimony- I love them!! You WILL enjoy this CD.

Amazing worship experience..........2005-12-13

This choir is amazing. I love this CD because I feel the presence of my lord while i listen to it. My favorites songs are "Lord I believe in you", "Saved" , "We are not ashamed" and "Days of Elijah". You have to own one to your worship collection. I gave it an A+.

Also I recommend their latest release "Im Amazed".

Nice Music.......2005-09-13

I like to listen to this kind of music. You get two discs with this one, and it's definitely worth it. It lifts you up after a bad day.

Album Description

"This Is Reina" -- the stunning debut album!

Customer Reviews:

Wow.......2007-01-02

The first song that I heard was "No One's Gonna Change You" on the radio way back in '03 the radio station did club music on Friday and Saturday nights (or party music, whatever) and this song was playing, I sat in my car until it was finished, I looked it up online and found that she had not released an album yet, then in '04 This Is Reina dropped, I couldn't find it anywhere, then one day at Wal-Mart I found it for 9.72 and am I glad that I did find it...cause it's like WOW!

5* debut song, but 2* overall album - a bit sad.......2006-03-13

When I first heard Reina's debut single "No One's Gonna Change You", I was hooked! What a great song, lyrics and totally catchy beat. I listend to that song for a long time and finally decided to get the whole CD. Uh oh...

What a disappointment! I still can't believe how weak the material is. I kept listening in disbelief as song after song played. It was hard for me to believe, but true. The rest of the CD isn't even a good party/dance CD to throw on during a get together.

Bottom line: Such a sad fate for post-No One's Gonna Change You. If you like that song, buy the CD single because the album isn't even close to the quality of that song.

Nice piece of dance music.......2005-07-28

I don't wanna write long review. This album is for Amber, Kristine W lovers. It has it's strong and weak sides. But overall it's OK. Not a masterpiece but ok.

excellent album.......2005-06-22

Every song is great on this album highley recommend it Reina u go girl......

WOW.......2005-02-08

All I can say is wow, I just got the cd because a friend told me i would like it.. What a great dance cd, reina's voice is very beautiful and catchy:)

The Price Club.......2005-04-28

"I am here," said Leontyne Price when interviewed as she opened the new Metropolitan Opera with Samuel Barber's underrated ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, "and you will know that I am the best and will hear me. The color of my skin or the kink of my hair or the spread of my mouth has nothing to do with what you are listening to." Back in the 1960s Price was one of the greatest divas in all of opera, and it wasn't just her voice but her magnificent stage presence, combined with her social activism. All of the above come into play in this collection of secular songs and ditties, some of them traditional plantation chanties and others, art songs and a scattering of pop music. And some of them, like Gershwin's "Summertime," cross the ever-permeable boundaries between Broadway and classical. These recordings were made at different times in Price's career, and her voice, while always angelic, has different shadings and reaches a different range of timbre in each separate recording date, but there is no question that, as time goes by, she is able to impart a richness of life experience noticeably absent from some of her earlier work.

"Ave Maria" sounds heavenly no matter which way you slice it, and as for "I Wonder As I Wander," it brings tears to your eyes. If you have a heart that's beating you will be moved by this rendition. "Ein feste Burg" is pretty strong, but Price seems more comfortable with the traditional spirituals, though perhaps it is the slightly off-kilter sounds of the Ambrosian Singers (what a name) who back her up on many of these tracks, that detract slightly from the experience. Compare "Lead Kindly Light" for a clear sense of what constitutes authority vs. what is a wee bit overproduced. If you had this compilation, and perhaps one of Leontyne Price's Christmas albums, you could attain nirvana any time you wanted to, just flip a switch and close your eyes, let her lift you up on wings of song.

A living legend.......2005-03-10

Leontyne Price (still alive) and already passing into immortality amongst vocal artists, both classical and popular. Leontyne Price stands at the pinnacle of her classical art, but those who only know her work in La Forza del destino or the Verdi Requiem are in for a heart rending treat with this album where Leontyne Price goes home to her roots in Mississippi and gives an unabashed account of the classic spirituals she sang as a young woman. Like John Mc Cormacks rendering of Irish songs there is a personal longing and devotion expressed here that reveals a side of the artist not known in the bulk of their "classical" repetoire. A sense of going home like Citizen Kane's rosebud, or as Dorothy Gale observes at the end of the Wizard of Oz "everything I could ever have wanted was right in my own backyard "

not your daddy's old timey spiritual.......2004-06-23

Agreed this is a good cd for a beautiful voice, but this is not, repeat not, for someone who wants to hear that old-timey religious fervor that you think of when you've been to a Black Baptist hand-clapping, standing, swaying, and singing service.

Immaculate Vocals of Leontyne Price.......2003-12-31

IMMACULATE, SUPERB vocal range and style! There's no other words that can complement Miss Leontyne Price's vocal arrangements. Miss Price's voice is strong, and shrills very nicely to the instruments played on many songs listed on this double CD which is a joy to treasure; every song listed are songs I was raised to hearing and singing. Miss Price is the reason why many of these songs remain in popularity and presently used. Miss Leontyne Price has been incredible in many of her past performances. This is my fourth CD of Miss Price and I am glad to own this particular CD forever and ever. Many thanks to the executors who found this remarkable album and upgraded it to a CD format! **Angi**

Great Gospel Stuff.......2001-04-12

This is a great CD. The only problem I have with it is that on some of the selections there is a boy's choir screaming in the background, and this takes away (a bit) from her performance. That said, her best selections are those that are either unaccompanied or those where her voice is not buried. Songs that strike me are - His Name So Sweet, He's Got The Whole World, Were You There, I Wonder as I Wander, Lift Every Voice and Sing, and my all time favourite Summertime. Enough said.

It's said politics makes strange bedfellows. But it's got nothing on the peculiar marriage of art and history inspired by the tragic events of 9/11/01. Before that day, Daniel Rodriguez was a member of New York's finest, working as an NYPD security officer at the Manhattan South precinct. If it seemed an odd calling for a gifted, operatically trained tenor, it was employment many a journeyman artist could relate to: the proverbial "day job." As it turns out, no police academy in the world could have trained Rodriguez for the crucial role his city's darkest hour thrust upon him. While his colleagues mourned their staggering losses and toiled around the clock in rescue efforts, Rodriguez delivered renditions of "God Bless America" that rallied both his city and his country, much as Kate Smith's version of the Irving Berlin patriotic standard had done at the dawn of WWII.

Contemporary jazz great-producer Tom Scott took it from there, showcasing Rodriguez's powerful voice in this deftly arranged album focused sharply on personal and national inspiration. Taking his cue from his own hero, Mario Lanza, Rodriguez instills no small amount of drama in his performances, and it serves him well on tracks like the American folk classic "Shenandoah," a rousing take on Scarlet Pimpernel's "Into the Fire," and the relative Sinatra rarity "The House I Live In." The "God Bless America" here varies from the original single release, with Rodriguez reading the spoken intro once delivered by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Is Rodriguez the greatest tenor of modern times? No. But it's hard to imagine a talent better suited to the challenge history has thrust upon him; we're lucky--make that blessed--to have him. --Jerry McCulley

Beautiful.......2007-07-21

This cd will bring tears to your eyes. His voice is so clear and lovely. I bought this cd for my mother for her birthday in September. It is so sad that the events of September 11 had to occur for this man to be discovered.

God Bless Daniel Rodriquez.......2007-07-16

This alblum is a treasure to own and listen to. He really captures the spirit of patriotism. I have played his songs at a local fireworks show that I DJ at and his songs are up there with the other songs by artists by Mr. Lee "God Bless The U.S.A." Greenwood and other great artists. New York City and the nation needed him at a time when we were trying to recover from the worst tragedy in the history of the U.S.A. and he was there for us.

Music From and For the Heart.......2006-11-25

Daniel's album is music to be shared with family and with friends to help further ensure warmth, strong family ties, and love of our beautiful country. His voice is magical, skilled, rich and so memorable that it can take one on a journey from yesterday to promise for a bright tomorrow. This is a superb rendering of past unforgettable music. His solemn rendition of the peace song "God Bless America" is the album's centerpiece and truly unforgettable....

Daniel Rodriguez.......2006-11-11

I first heard of Daniel Rodriguez a couple of months ago when he sang on Jay Leno's show. He was/is WONDERFUL! His voice is beautiful, but he sings from the heart, and that makes him exceptional.

Some definite winners on this album.......2005-12-14

My favorites are "Ave Maria" and "The Lord's Prayer" where Daniel truly shows off his vocal talents. I could have done without the choir backup on "Ave Maria" but nonetheless a great rendition.

The ending that he has for the "The Lord's Prayer" almost brings a tear to my eye each time I hear it. Well done Daniel.

i HEART amber.......2006-02-28

Any debut album is almost always gonna be slightly awkward, and when it comes from someone who is now a powerhouse comparison is just brutal. However, this album is still really good. The album starts us off right away with the single which sent Amber into the public's eye and gets us moving. There are numerous cutesy pop songs on here and you just can't help but smile and bounce with them. I highly recommend getting this because the world sometimes just needs to get cute and bubbly every now and again! And there is nothing cuter or bubblier than "Color of Love", my favorite song of the album.

A fun, catchy pop album.......2004-11-26

Back in the mid to late '90s when I was still in college, I was a big fan of euro-pop music. One of my favorite euro-pop artists was Amber. I loved her first two albums. Her debut album "This is Your Night" was an album chockful of some of the catchiest pop songs I had ever heard. I especially loved the singles "This is Your Night" (which was found all over various dance compilations at the time) and "Colour of "Love". I especially loved the second single "Colour of Love", probably because it didn't get as much as airplay as "This is Your Night" which quickly got overplayed. "This is Your Night" isn't completely flawless. Some of the songs were really silly lyrically like "Move Your Body", "Push It to the Limit", and "Hold My Body Tight". If the silly, cheesy lyrics weren't enough, I wasn't that big of the songs that had a more of an r&b influence like "Move Your Body" but then again I did like "One More Night". My favorite song on the cd has to be "Can You Feel the Love". I just love the synthesized beats and the melody of the song. It still remains as one of my favorite songs by Amber to this very day. Even though my taste in music has changed, I still enjoy listening to Amber from time to time to break the monotony.

The Best Dance Album Ever!!!!.......2004-10-03

I first got wind of this CD durring my freshman year of high school. To this day it remains my fav album in my endless music library. I'm the sort of guy who loves music with loads of guitars. This album does have that, however it is hiden very well benieth the over sampled pop melody and Ambers' sultry vocals. For me personally it's a great CD for anyone who wants to turn down his/her blinds and dance aroud their room like ideots. Also, it does have those overly romantic ballads that I am a sucker for. Sample lyric from "One More Night" One more night this time/I hold your hold your body very close to mine. Other choice cuts include the overly sexed up ballad "Let It Rain", and the dancy title track "this is Your Night". In sum if you want a great CD to totally dance out to or get intimately close to that special someone, this album is for you.

ONE MORE NIGHT SHOW ME THINGS THAT I NEVER KNEW..........2004-08-14

Amber's debut album was a clear example of how can a dance album could be consistent and provocative well done. Produced mainly by The Berman Brothers, "This Is Your Night" became a cherish house dance album for any club lover. The best track are the ones that falls in the cliche of topic song in club anthemic tracks like "This Is Your Night" the title track has become one of the representers of the 90's dance music, almost available in any dance collection that it's out there. It's obvious what the hit was all about, the thing is that the song, worked, works, and will work, a great dance tune, "Colour Of Love" was a more pop in tune oriented, very cheesy, but still danceable, "One More Night" sad that the hit dance version it's not available in the album, since it's one of the best hits of Amber. The slower ballad soulful version it's included here, not bad, but not good. Still the lyrcis own that magical message. "Push It To The Limit" it's a euro-dance track repetitive but it just infatuates you, great tune. "Being With You" it's another pop tune, average. "This Is The Right Time" Junior Vasquez put his hands on this, a great midtempo dance track, "Let It Rain" very nice slow jam, a very emotional one. Above all Amber debut album feature a moving dance club reacord, that would be remember as a move foward to Amber since she keep a consistent career in the dance club after this album, and is one of the most recognized voices in America's joints.

Very Good Dance/Pop.... a Club Classic from Germany.......2004-02-19

Thanx to this Musical Blockbuster, her voice is forever engraved in my mind, and what a Great Voice it is.

It's a Club/Dance album, and a well crafted Pop album at the same time. Songs here have Irresistible Melody Hooks, Beats, and Nice Synths; Lyrics are sometimes a little simplistic being about Love, and a bit Repetitive.

This album had quite a rotation on my CD player in mid 90's and my repeat button was working some overitme on many tracks here! So this album always takes me back to that time.

This album was produced by Berman Brothers (who produced Real McCoy, and She Moves). Most songs here were written by them and Amber MC Cremers.

Songs range from Fast EuroDance songs with great Techno Beats, typical Berman Brothers stuff at that time. These are:

1. "This is Your Night"
2. "Move Your Body"
8. "Hold My Body tight"
9. "Can You Feel The Love"
3. "Color Of Love"
6. "Push It to the Limit"

The two remixes were nothing special though.

Now there are also some really nice slower songs on this one, and these are very Soulful:

4. "You are the one".
5. "One More Night" - a Beautiful slower song, for a slower dance.
10. "Losing Myself In Your Love"- written by Joel kipnis.
12. "This is the Right Time" - prduced by Junior Vasquez

And there are also some covers on this CD that are OK:
"Being with You"
"Let It Rain"

Overall this is a Great, Melodic, and Soulful album that will pick up your spirits anytime. A Must-Have, if you like Commercial dance music!

At a time when popular music has been micro-marketed to the far side of ad nauseam, Declan MacManus, a.k.a. Elvis Costello, has traded on his reputation as the brightest songwriter to emerge from the new wave era to foster any number of delightful, cross-genre/generation musical surprises, including soundtracks and collaborations with the Brodsky Quartet, Paul McCartney, jazz artist Roy Nathanson, and songwriting legend Burt Bacharach. The latest fruit of that generous, insatiably curious artistic spirit is this elegant partnership with Swedish mezzo-soprano Anne-Sofie von Otter. Though an admitted pop novice, Otter couldn't have picked a better confederate than Costello, an artist whose taste in songs has seldom been tainted by trend.

Together, they weave material from disparate sources--including a slate of compelling Costello material, a pair of Brian Wilson's evocative "Pet Sounds" confessionals, a Tom Waits song from Francis Ford Coppola's One from the Heart (oddly, though effectively, coupled in medley with McCartney's "Junk"), an Abba song, and the Beatles' "For No One"--into a musical tapestry of stately power and grace. Costello sparingly uses his voice as seasoning throughout, though his masterful touch is everywhere. Otter's novice pop singing reveals an easy knack for jazz phrasing that should tempt further explorations and a warmth that belies the rigidity that's so often a byproduct of classical training. Most gratifying of all, this album ultimately achieves what's become one of the loftiest plateaus in Pop music: common ground. --Jerry McCulley

Loved this CD .......2006-06-13

Who would pair Costello and an opera singer?? Elvis, and somehow it works. I really love the tone and moodiness of it and lyrics that talk about love and life, failure and success. It's soulful, in a contemplative way, music for those tucked away, rainy days .

I LOVE this CD!.......2005-09-01

Finally, an opera singer who knows how to channel her Classical training into a sound that is, as one critic aptly described it, "what pop singers would sound like if they could actually sing"! Although Elvis Costello does not join Ms. von Otter very often in the vocals, when he does they harmonize beautifully. With great melodies (some beautiful, some catchy) and sensitive (but not sappy) lyrics, this album makes a fine addition to any CD collection.

Costello Partners with Hubris and Yields Variable Results.......2005-05-08

Having just heard Elvis Costello's masterful collaboration with Burt Bacharach, "Painted from Memory", for the first time this past month, I had high hopes for this equally unusual partnership with mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter released in 2001. This time, however, Costello acts as arranger and producer, and it is von Otter who is front and center on vocals. She is among the most revered of singers on the opera and recital stages, and she has impressed me in the past, in particular, with her Dejanira in the 2002 Marc Minkowski-led performance of Handel's "Hercules", among many other roles she has embodied. Here she is called upon to be a pop chanteuse, and while the beauty of her voice is inarguable in any setting, her ability to interpret the diverse lyrics in these songs is far more debatable. This is where a Marianne Faithfull, a Blossom Dearie or even a Joni Mitchell could capture more of the underlying feeling with a fraction of the vocal power von Otter can provide but with twice the nuance. There is a rather sterile sameness to the performances here, somewhat jazz-inflected in a cocktail lounge manner at times and at other times, rather morose and dirge-like.

Take, for example, her rendition of Brian Wilson's "Don't Ask (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)" from the legendary "Pet Sounds" album. It moves so glacially that it actually extricates the romantic subtext almost surgically. The same can be said for Jessie Mae Robinson's "The Other Woman", which has at least Magnus Persson's vibraphone to provide relief from the tedium. She's better on the other "Pet Sounds" classic, "You Still Believe in Me", where she cannily soars with the chorus, though Costello damages it by adding some odd, muffled rapping in the background. Ironically, it is on the Costello compositions where the recording most noticeably flails. The opener "No Wonder" starts as a "Greensleeves"-like madrigal and then turns into Beatlesque pop; "Baby Plays Around" seems to suffer from exhaustion by all parties; the two Fleshquartet collaborations, "Rope" and "Just a Curio", sound somewhat like extraterrestrial hymns done in a series of minor keys; and the closing title track, "For the Stars" includes peppy, Beach Boys-sounding harmonies which escape her grasp. In fact, "Just a Curio" would have been a more appropriate title for this entire recording.

On the other hand, the Gallic flavor of Benny Andersson's accordion effectively informs her rendition of Tom Waits' "Broken Bicycles", which melds perfectly with Costello's vocal on Paul McCartney's "Junk". Speaking of Andersson, a fellow Scandinavian, von Otter admirably covers a piano-led ABBA ballad, "Like an Angel Passing Through My Room". She also displays a meticulously casual bounce on Lennon-McCartney's "For No One", though it stops rather abruptly. Von Otter acquits herself surprisingly well on the jazzy "Shamed into Love", written by another unlikely duo, Costello and Rubén Blades, and performed as almost a smokier variation of Bacharach's "Alfie". And speaking of Bacharach, she does a nice turn on the lovely "This House Is Empty Now" from the 1998 Bacharach-Costello disc. Costello and von Otter are masters of their craft, but I think some of the collaborations reflect simply irreconcilable differences. While Costello seems to have an insatiable desire to expand musically, his hubris here appears to constrain the often preternatural vocal skill von Otter displays on the opera and recital stage. Consequently, what we have here is a nice album, a generous one with eighteen tracks, that doesn't seem to capitalize on either contributor's talent fully.

what's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?.......2004-04-22

Nothing's funny about this boring duo. I picked this up FREE at my library and it didn't take me too many tracks to see why it was donated. The musical arrangements are hapless and dull, and her voice is Dion without the Vegas power finale. Come to think of it, the lyrics remind me of Dion; they are as saccharine as anything Dion has ever sung. I wasted a blank CD on this limp, sleepy pairing of two otherwise good artists.

No life in her (pop) art.......2004-03-15

I am a big fan of both artists and wanted very much for this combination to work. It avoids the traditional trap of "oversinging" the pop material. But a few years after its release, in these American Idol era, is that really such a terror for pop music any more? So-called oversinging seems pretty popular these days!

The big problem is that von Otter has not found a way to communicate any emotion in this scaled-down form of singing. All her classical techniques are stripped away, and there's nothing to replace them. Sure, her voice is gorgeous, but it sounds exactly the same no matter what the lyrical content. The songs could have been made up of nonsense syllables for all the emotional life she communicates.

Deeply disappointing - but someone, somewhere, will figure out how to bring classically trained singers to the wonderful pop song repertoire that has been composed over the past 50 years. Elvis may very well be the person to do it, but not on this album.

Customer Reviews:

It takes time to enjoy this CD.......2007-05-28

When I first got the CD, I was a little disappointed. After listening to Lee's Disc for about 3 times, I started to feel the beat. At that point I was wondering why Sander did a poor job on his Disc.
After listening to Lee's Disc for about 1 week, I decided to give Sander's Disc another try, and I was surprised because Sander's disc had a better set than Lee's Disc(which was already amazing), but it just took time to get into this CD.

Half good in my opinion.......2007-02-21

I liked Sander's disc a lot. His style is very off-beat and different than most of his peers. He has a taste for mixing unusual trance and house tracks as his style. I enjoyed his mix as much as his other "This is Everybody" compilations and perhaps the best of the 5 total discs in his sets.

On the otherhand, I cannot say much for the Burridge compilation. To me, it was boring. It didn't have the flash and sounds I have come to love in the Electronica genre. His style is much more subtle than the multi-layered and complex rhythms of most trance/house stylings. Much more simple synth cords over solid beats. Not quite my taste, but perhaps others differ.

Give it a few good listens!.......2007-02-06

First listen: mediocre, disappointment
Second listen: Lee's disc has some great beats
Third listen: SANDER's HIDDEN GENIUS EMERGES!!!!
I Love both CD's. To me, it's one of Sander's best. Just give it a good listen in your car, Alone, no interruptions. You will rediscover the hidden subtleties behind Sander's head-thumping beats! The progression is even better than his other two Everybody's.
Lee's disc was amazing, great tunes, great beats. But Lee fails to meet the depth and classy talent that Sander pulsates with.
Dark, powerful, and confident DJ'ing from both CD's! They also managed to add some great funky flavors by using lots of COWBELL and CLAPPING!
My ears are aching from listening to this cd too loud

Sander seems to release one great recording for a while.......2007-01-06

and since the previous one was absolutely amazing, this one is....I threw it out the car window. I've never heard such boring and random acts wimp ness as this recording is. So sticking to my trend next one should be much better.

Expanding the Limitations of Sound.......2006-08-25

In the past several years, I have been dissapointed many times by the more and more electro-funk/retro-80s vocal style that most Djs have started playing.

This is Everybody! On tour is different. It does not take you back to the deep dark progressive sounds and beats of the Delta heavy times. However, it is far from a cheesy vocal mix overpowerd by electro sounds.

This CD is a great introduction to the range of styles that encompass progressive house as it is today and somewhat allow us to open up to some of the newer elements present today. It includes tracks form different styles, all pretaining a certain pushing element and deep baseline that keeps the music interesting and energetic, without getting annoying.

Disc 1 is somewaht of a compositions.starts out with a track that would fit best into a eclectic electronica genre and slowly builds up a tempo. As the Cd progresses the Basslines become heavier and deeper. Although never loosing a groovy touch, the first CD is a goood mix that does not get boering.

Disc 2 starts out much faster. It is more of a dance mix then a composition. Many of the songs have driving baselines that are deep and still groovy. Although sometimes vocal, this CD keeps it interesting by alternating progressive styles.

Overall I loved both CD's, more than the previous release by Sander K.
