Adding pop savvy to their soul-disco mix, Jamiroquai grabbed the attention of MTV and Top 40 radio and won a Grammy with this platinum-selling album, their third. It's a fine record, with warm keyboards, sweet strings, and irrepressible grooves grounding Jay Kay's sublime vocals and fueling the hits ("Virtual Insanity," "Cosmic Girl," the title track). That voice--elastic, jazzy--is the fire of the band, but immaculate guitar sounds, snappy backup vocals, and clever old-school soul samples (Eddie Harris on "Alright," Esther Phillips on "High Times") are the details that create perfection. Balancing the dance-ready, radio-friendly tracks are the ballads "Everyday" and "Spend a Lifetime," the reggae-styled "Drifting Along," and a couple of didjeridoo instrumentals. --Suzanne McElfresh

Travelling without Moving.......2007-01-09

Although the music is somewhat "retro", (disco throwback), it's still really good listening.

Question?.......2006-11-09

I am a real jazz lover, old school, new school, acid jazz, neo-soul, funk, you name it. This particular Jamiroquai cd is everthing. In my opinion, it rocks. There's not one song on the whole disk that I don't totally enjoy. I only recently heard of the group, and this cd is the only one I have heard so far. I would like to know if there's any other Jamiroquai cd's I should check out? I need to know if there's maybe another work as good as, if not better, than this one. I am one of those people who hate to buy a cd and only like one or two songs on the whole thing. If you know of any other Jamiroquai cd's, or any other artist who sounds as awesome as this one does, please let me in on it.

I Like Their Style.......2006-11-08

I'm not really a fan of Jamiroquai, not that I don't like their music before or after this album, this is just the first album of their I've listened to. The very first song from Jamiroquai that I've ever heard was the single for this album Virtual Insanity. To me it is a song with a smooth sound that should catch everyone's ear. After the second track the rest of the album was unpredictable for me because Virtual Insanity sets a certain sound that most artists would stick with. Every song on this album has its own distinct sound and feeling to it, that's my favorite thing about this album that it has the ability to give something different with every song. You get a couple of really beautiful slow songs that could melt metal and though the lyrics are lacking "Spend a life time" the music picks it up. You've got songs that you can chill to and are really the definition for a perfect chill song. For people that don't know much about Jamiroquai like myself I think Traveling without moving is the album to start with because it is sure to get you hooked.

This slick album brings a mature string of arrangements.......2006-07-24

I remember years ago when I saw the music video for "Virtual Insanity" with its unique special effects and Jay Kay's signature vocal "sound," I had an inkling that it was going to be a good album to listen to. It's definitely a quick pick-me-up! You've got all different kinds of music on it. Reggae, rock, pop, jazz... etc. Whatever kind of music that floats your boat, you'll probably find on this album.

My favorite tracks are "Virtual Insanity" (of COURSE...) "Alright" (just makes you want to dance), "Cosmic Girl," "Traveling Without Moving," "Everyday," and "Drifting Along." I have to admit I'm rarely able to "sit" through the disc in its entirety. It seems to be a work that is three fourths complete with eight of the thirteen cuts exceptional and five being substandard.

Jay Kay really brings a unique style of Jazz mixed with Dance that sends you into a world of groovy romantic fantasy, with mind-fuzzing bass and dreamful lyrics. The flourish of various instruments harmonizing into one beautiful sound is enough to keep you excited once you place this album into your player, other than that 'Travelling without Moving' is good album to have due to it's collaboration.

Space.......2006-04-04

Driven by a 70's funk, dance release, Travelling Without Moving, is a deeper push for Jamiroquai and for the time. "Cosmic Girl" is a good example of the album's direction with its mixture of disco, funk and dance that feels like a roller rink song. The variety found on this LP is apparently unmatched with titles such as the mellow love song "Everyday" quickly takes the spotlight. For a more Jamaican / Reggae instrumentation "Drifting Along" shows the versatility of Jamiroquai with its exotic atmosphere. Both "Didjerama" and "Didjital Vibrations" are instrumentals, but track 8 becomes annoying with its looped vibes. "Didjital Vibrations" could stand alone as a jazzy, funk rendition that's only missing crooning vocals to set it off. "Spend A Lifetime" is a romantic tune filled with a beautiful violin arrangement to help complete this album. Track 13 is a bonus track to conclude Travelling Without Moving on a high note or at least an up-beat.

Soviet Army Band & Chorus aren't taking any prisoners!.......2007-05-12

If you enjoy a good stiring martial male chorus then spend some time with these guys. They're all graduates of Soviet musical acadamies and any one of them could have graced the top opera houses of the world. You don't have to know any Russian to appreciate this CD. The songs are glorious (just don't translate them -- machine guns, death to foes, etc.), and will make you want to march on Berlin all over again.

Good music........2007-03-09

I had heard a few songs by the Red Army Choir in the past and happened upon this CD set a while back, I found it to be far better than I had hoped and would reccoment it to anyone who enjoys Russian folk music, choir in general, and cultural items from when Russia was still the Soviet Union.

Magnificent!.......2007-02-27

I'm so glad I stumbled onto this.

Spirited, committed, manly singing. Soul-shaking stuff! The ensemble is incisive; soloists are marvelous. The folk melodies are enchanting. The songs--and the singers--are bound up in the cultural fabric of the Cossacks, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky...on and on.., Chekhov, Trotsky, Nabakov... This music conveys the great romantic, dignified, boistrous soul of the Russian People. (Loosely speaking. Some members of the chorus were presumably of other nationalities once part of the Soviet Union. And some of the songs are not Russian).

I don't speak Russian, but listening to this makes me wish I did. What a beautiful-sounding language it is.

I loved it!.......2007-02-22

Even though I cannot speak Russian, the quality of this choral group is beyond excellent. Many of these pieces are extremely moving and stirring. The rendering of the Soviet anthem and the song "Let's Go" (V'put) come to my mind. "Let's Go" became a huge hit in Russia when it was featured in a movie about the Great Patriotic War, and indeed, hearing it - you can well imagine ranks upon ranks of hard-eyed, grim-faced Soviet soldiers striding into battle against the Wehrmacht.

The ultimate collection.......2004-06-15

Excellent performance by the choir and the orchestra. The grandeur, the charm, and the romance! Great collection of songs, sure to bring back memories!

Following her remarkably beautiful and top-selling crystal-bowl meditation CDs, heralded by critics, customers, and even Dr. Wayne Dyer, sound healer and teacher Deborah Van Dyke presents Travelling the Sacred Sound Current, audio companion to her instructive and finely wrought book of the same name. Van Dyke's musical offering, used in conjunction with the book or as a standalone tool, moves beyond relaxation and entertainment value into the realm of spiritual and therapeutic practice and purpose. Based on sound scientific principle--Dr. Andrew Weil's Sound Body, Sound Mind is highly recommended to this end--Van Dyke uses frequencies and tones to promote maximal benefit to body, mind, and spirit. These nine pieces bring together ancient mantras and chants, crystal bowl tones, drums, and didgeridoo, as well as nature sounds and Peruvian whistles, to create the thread-work of a profoundly interactive listening experience. Travelling the Sacred Sound Current resonates with deep beauty, peace, and truth. Neither far afield in woo-woo content nor loftily academic, Van Dyke's work is a welcome invitation, likely to appeal to both the intensive meditation student and the casual or novice seeker. --Paige La Grone

PLANETLIGHTWORKER Magazine, Oct/03, Editor's review: "Sometimes in life when I'm faced with the experience of otherworldly beauty I am simply awestruck, - to the point of being left speechless. This is one of those moments.

Deborah Van Dyke has created one of the most glorious New Age recordings I can remember. Crafted through the use of some very natural textures, its poetic rhythms are sensual and astonishingly pure. There is a complexity to the CD that is as unique as each human life. In just the first few breaths of listening I could feel the sweetest altering of my physical body taking place. A shift in posture, an expansion of my senses, and a fluttering of excitement in my heart's heart. The naturalness, the eloquent harmony and echo, all come together to offer such a tremendous gift to creation. For centering, grounding, gifting, doing healing work with others, Travelling the Sacred Sound Current intuitively knows the listener's need and exceeds that requirement with a universal gift of transformation".

*****UPDATE: Deborah's NEWEST CD RELEASE now available on Amazon.com: 'CHORDS OF THE COSMOS: Harmonies of the Zodiac with Crystal Bowls for Chakra Balancing, Meditation & the Healing Arts'.

takes me to nirvana.......2007-01-29

Great for yoga and/or meditation. The only thing I'd change is the talking on the last track--I find it's distracting. Otherwise, I'd rate it five stars. My classes love it.

Sounds of Light was better.......2006-12-26

There's too much caterwauling in this one. Not for meditation, maybe as a quiet background for ambience, I dunno. It didn't quite inspire any transcendental experiences for me.

Inaccurate, but a good listen.......2005-11-08

I like this album, it is soothing and meditative. The music is compelling and the vocals are pleasant. Unfortunately, I can't give it a higher rating, because some of the Sanskrit words are incorrectly pronounced. I'm not trying to be picky, but you'd think that Deborah who's written a book on healing music would know how to pronounce the lyrics of her songs. With that in mind, the album is quite good.
namaste :)

Very good if you like Indian mantras.......2005-08-12

The album is very enjoyable to listen to. If you like a meditative type of music. Several songs are chants (or mantras) that have been put to music. I liked this one very much.

.......2005-01-31

I learned to pronounce Divine names I read in spiritual books,
but never heard chanted before, from this CD.
As a woman, following the voice of a women guide
was easier for me to echo, then male chants.
It is the perfect CD to play and chant along while ringing
my own crystal bowls and sets a relaxing, prayerful mood
before going to sleep, for me.

A pioneering attempt at 'forming' the voice of a castrato singer.......2007-07-27

There is/are later attempt(s) for a single singer to attempt some of the arias included in this original soundtrack for the movie "Farinelli, Il Castrato". However, given that contemproary mezzo-sopranos like Bartoli, Fink, Kassarova (just to name a handful of the many) all strive to sing these 'castrato' pieces, there is really not much of a wonder for a mezzo rendition.
This soundtrack was made in the mid 1990's, and conducted by the then very young Rousset. Two singers are being involved - countertenor Derek Lee Ragin and high coloratura soprano Ewa Mallas-Godlewska.
I originally owned a laser disc of the film itself (Sony). I love the music so much that after I lost this laser disc, I purchased the original soundtrack, but discovered that some of the special effects of the soundtrack in the film aren't in this CD: the prolonged note in one of the opening arias composed by Riccardo Broschi, and the last high note in the Haendel aria "Lascia Chio Pianga".
It would have been much better if against each sung track, the accompanying CD pamphlet can list out the singer(s) that took part in the recording: I doubt if "Lascia Chio Pianga" requires a 'mixture' of Lee Ragin and Mallas-Godlewska's voices.
The instrumental "Alto Giove" does not seem to appear in the film, so is the religious piece "Salve Regina" by Pergolessi. So these are apparently added bonuses in this original soundtrack CD.
This is a very interesting soundtrack that really piloted the revival of baroque vocal music in the world of classical music.
I think one really should not take the promulgating power of these 'original soundtracks' for granted.

An Interesting Performance.......2007-06-14

This performance electronically blends the voices of a soprano and a counter tenor in an attempt to create a voice that might be like that of the famous castrato Farinelli, reputedly to have had a voice of great power and range. Technically it is successful, you certainly would not know it was a composite voice unless you were told. And musically, too, it is quite satisfying. But I must question if it were realy necessary, listen to Mezzo Soprano Vivica Genaux's CD, Arias for Farinelli, her performance is dazzling, with far more expression and fire than you get with the composite, a far more satisfying performance. Please try to hear it.

Just beautiful.......2004-06-24

I really don't know much of opera, but everytime when I listen to this album, i get goosebums. It's just so beautiful. Try it in your car with full volume. it will blow your mind away.

The Fame Of Farinelli.......2004-05-15

This album features music and operatic arias from the film Farinelli. The movie was a highly dramatized and untrue account of the life of Farinelli, the stage name of Carlo Broschi, the greatest castrato singer of all time. The castrati were castrated before puberty so as to preserve their soprano range and maintain awesome lung power of the male voice. In the film, Stefano Dionisi lip synched but the voices that were used were a combination in synthesizer of the tenor Derek Lee Regin and the soprano Ewa Mallas Godlewska. Their voices, though distinctly male and female, sounded very alike and director Gerard Corbiau decided to creatively edit their voices. The music is sublime. These obscure and rare Baroque classics are not performed today, not even in Europe. So many of the libretti have been lost in time and even with the libretti and music available, the castrati voice can never again be heard and much of the Baroque type of singing is difficult for most singers to undertake. Nowadays, the singers that come close to castrati are highly developed falsetto-singing countertenors or mezzo-sopranos with coloratura like Cecilia Bartoli or Vivica Genoux. On this album, we hear unique and rare composers, like Farinelli's brother Riccardo Broschi, and his operas. The aria "Son Qual Nave Agitata" and the more impressive "Ombra Fidele" are exquisite, full of lyrical grandeur and coloratura gymnastics. The rest are arias from long forgotten operas and even religious works for the Roman Catholic Church, like Palestrina, who thought the castrati voice was the closest thing to God. It's a great album to have if you are a fan of Farinelli and the msuic of his day.

The Fame Of Farinelli.......2004-05-15

This album contains music from the 1995 foreign film Farinelli. The film dealt with the life of Carlo Broschi, otherwise known by his stage name Farinelli. He was the great castrato singer who dazzled audiences with his amazing bravura and vocal virtuosity. He was supposedly able to hold a long note in a single minute. In the movie the actor Stefano Dionisi was lip-synching to the creative synthesized combination of tenor Derek Lee Ragin and soprano Ewa Mallas Godlewska. This blending of male and female voices is what the castrati voice must have been like.

The album is chalk-full of rare Baroque treasures. Although the music of Handel was prominent in the film, there is nothing by Handel here which is suprising because Handel wrote mostly for castrati voice. The composer Riccardo Broschi, Farinelli's brother, wrote many operas and specific arias for his voice alone. Here, we get the sublime lyrical aria "Son Qual Nave Agitata" from the opera Idaspe and the more impressive "Ombra Fedele Anchio" which is full of hair-raising coloratura gymnastics. The beauty and rarity of these arias alone is worth getting the album. The instrumental music, perfectly Baroque in structure, includes the Overture to Artaserses. The other vocal music even has a spiritually uplifting work by Palestrina who wrote vocal music in religious contexts for the Roman Catholic Church and who believed the castrati voice was the most divinely inspired voice and closest to God. This album is worth getting if you are a fan of the movie, a fan of the Baroque period and a fan of Farinelli in particular.

Good Heavy, Bluesy Stuff.......2006-06-19

This is the first CD I bought from this band. This band rocks and is as tight as a drum. These guys can play no doubt. Heavy guitars, groovy bass lines, some cool time changes, and good dynamics in the tunes. I would compare them to Black Sabbath, Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu, and Kyuss. This would definitely be the CD to slip in when you feel the party waning. Not too "metal" and not too "sludgy." I can see this as a CD that the metal fans and good old rockers could agree on. The one thing that brings it down is the lyrics. They can't seem to get away from singing about flying to the sun, the planets and sky, tomorrow and yesterday, and for some reason the singer feels the need to end every other line with the word "baby." A lot of "stock" space rock kind of stoner references. I understand that's where they are coming from as a band, but it just too superficial lyrics wise for me. This album could totally work as an instrumental work. Just kind of feels like they threw the lyrics together just to have some. My favorite tune would be Time Travelling Blues. It's one of the tunes that actually opens up and breaths and really shows the band's musicality. But the music itself is great and keeps me coming back and I'm definitely going to check out their subsequent releases. Hopefully, lyric wise, they get away from singing about the sun.

Stonkingly fantastic blues metal.......2005-08-08

I had never heard anything by Orange Goblin, or even heard of them, until I saw their first record "Frequencies from Planet 10" in a record store, and I bought it for their name alone. I was not disappointed.
If you liked the first record, this is very much in a similar vein to it - only with even heavier grooves and a move towards a more Skynard influenced sound than the previous Sabbath one.
The album is one huge trip, with only a few tracks standing out and distinguishing themselves - Blue Snow, Lunarville 7, Airlock 3 and Time travelling Blues (the title track) to name a few. They all meld together and produce a sound that is, for want of a better expression, damned awesome.

Orange Goblin.......2005-03-18

I'm not a kid, kinda wished I was again but oh well. I couldn't help bu review this. This review covers everything Orange Goblin has put out, it is great. Very good riffs, as can be expected from the, "stoner" bands, has a groove to it that makes you see lava lamps. I like to call it, "feel-good rock". Kyuss, Queens of Stone Age, Fu Manchu, Monster Magnet, Dozer, Hermano, I can go on and on and believe I'm getting older and sometimes I do go on and on. A few of the other reviewers made interesting comments. One was talking about not liking Metallica because of the angry lyrics, agreed 100%. I have been sick of the typical metal bands since Metallica's Load album. I'm not at all knocking them because Metallica is a great band but it's nice to hear bands like Orange Goblin and the ones I named that sound like they are just a bunch guys out jamming til the sun rises. My wife who despises heavy metal has found that she even likes the stoner rock bands but if I throw Slayer in she gets up and leaves the room. Did someone say they dance to this music? Alright now, I'm not trying to make this a macho review but unless you are a female, thigh-high boots and fishnet hose on, I don't need to know but I ger what you are saying, it's the groove of it. The last is the person who said to get Clutch. Clutch is a great band and I have been a fan since they come out but don't go ripping another stoner band, go review a rap cd and tell them to listen to Clutch. Most people reading these know who Clutch is. Horns up, hair flying....

Thoughts from someone who didn't like Metal.......2004-01-01

First, let me be honest here: I don't really know how to "critique" a band, and I really don't have any business judging whether a band is "good" or not, but IMHO Orange Goblin is simply one of the best bands out there recording today. I never liked Metallica and the lot of the popular metal bands, because even though I recognized they were immensely talented, it all just sounded, well, for lack of a better words, angry and hateful. This band is different; There's no awful lyrics simply for shock-value; There's no despair/suicide/homophobic-violence, and all of the other junk that has become unfortunately commonplace in music today. I've purchased three Orange Goblin CD's and enjoy every one of them. I don't know why they aren't more popular; I guess I've read reviews from "experts" who say they are a "rip-off" sound-alike of Black Sabbath, but I personally don't think so. The singer (Ben Ward) is capable of much more range and expression than Ozzy was ever capable of. You obviously can listen to the Amazon.com media-clips, but trust me; this CD is great: From the Harley throttle-opening at the beginning of Blue Snow, to the Mushroom-cloud lyrics in Snail Hook, to the steadily increasing/decreasing/increasing crescendo of Time Travelling Blues. I don't know what the guys in the band hope and wish people would write about them, but all I can say is that this band can put out some phenomenal albums, and this is one of them.

A worthy follow-up..........2003-12-11

...to "Frequencies from Planet Ten", I had to listen to it a couple of times to get into it. I didn't find it quite as heavy-sounding as the debut, but it's still very cool. Purists may scoff at the restrained use of the keyboards here and there, but I find that it really adds a great element of originality and retro "presence"to the album, as it does in "Frequencies...". The organ intro to "Shine" made me think immediately of my all-time favourite band, Deep Purple.All in all, another great album by a very gifted and definitely under-appreciated group of musicians. If you like the genre, I'd say that this is another must-have.Cheers!

Great But Glossy.......2004-12-09

Arrive Without Travelling is undoubtedly The Three O'Clock's best collection of songs but I've always considered it to be way over-produced.It's like an excellent cake with too much frosting.There's too many effects on everything,especially the vocals.If this album had been recorded in the same manner as Sixteen Tambourines it would have been perfect.As it is,it's still a must-have for all of you power pop fans out there.Michael Quercio's songwriting is at it's peak here as there isn't any filler to be found on this record.Quercio's vocals are a love-or-hate sort of thing.He sings like a 9-year-old English girl auditioning for a part in the school musical but it really fits the music he writes.Guitarist Louis Guiterrez's departure is very much felt on Ever After.Ever After has none of the energy of any previous Three O'Clock records.It almost sounds lke the band just stopped trying.

One of the greatest pop records ever.......2004-05-29

I don't even know where to begin with "Arrive Without Travelling". I was a fan of theirs at the time of this release and had the chance to see them with REM at the time and was immediately hooked. From top to bottom every song is fantastic and this record is flawless. How great it is to finally see its re-release on CD. If somehow you stumbled across this review and are a fan of pop music especially the paisley pop movement from L.A. in the 80's, then this is a must have. Rates up there with Material Issue's "International Pop Overthrow" as the best pop records of the 80's. The added inclusion of "Ever After" is gravy. While this record wasn't as critically acclaimed as AWT, it stands on its own as a very good record.

This is a stellar piece of 80's Paisley Underground pop!.......2004-01-06

First, like others reviewers, I waited not-so-patiently for a re-release of Arrive w/o Travelling, even acquiring MP3's of many of the songs using a P2P source. As soon as this CD was available, though, I scooped it up. When I have a record of something from the 80's and haven't heard it for a while, I tend to idealize it. Since Arrive w/o Travelling was a classic for me in high school, I particularly expected a letdown. No letdown occurred! The vocals were pristine, the guitars were beautiful, and the keyboards, bass, drums, and cello were beautiful. The Michael Hedges (not the Windham Hill guitarist) production is a little dated, particularly when compared to the timeless sound of "Sixteen Tambourines," but it doesn't distract. The full range of Three O'Clock songs can be found on this one recording: from the driving rock of "Her Head's Revolving" to the infectious bubblegum sound of "Half the Way There," from the psychedelic raveup "Simon in the Park" to the gorgeous acoustic ballad "The Girl with the Guitar." It's a can't miss recording. The notes on the inside were okay, but not very revealing about the songs or the sessions that made up "Arrive."

Like another reviewer, I found myself giving the disappointing "Ever After" another listen, and it was okay, but like the original listen it reminded me of how the balance between Gutierrez and Quercio made beautiful, swirling music.

If you ever liked the Three O'Clock, buy this disc! If only we could get Louis and Clark's "Hollywood Capacity Maximum" on CD . . . dare to dream.

It's here on CD!!!.......2003-05-15

Priceless - thought it was great to catch a song or two on altternative radio from this unusual band. Then got to see them as a warm up band for REM. They must have made REM nervous, the crowd was going CRAZY - they were soooo fantastic!!! I have the album, but not the CD. Never gave up hope - now here it is - I'm listening to it now - feels just like when I was there in concert! Soooo fine!!

One Of The Greatest Albums Of All Time...Just Staggering!.......2003-01-04

The song arrangements, vocals, lyrics and melodies on Arrive Without Traveling are staggering in their scope and application. Being a very eclectic buyer of nearly all types of music I was first introduced to this album by a very glowing 4 star review of the album in Rolling Stone magazine. I bought the album purely on the above average rave that the mag's music critic bestowed upon it. Hearing the first notes fly off of my record player I was in music heaven - This album exceeded my high expectations by leaps and bounds. Arrive Without Traveling is pure genius frozen in time, where everything around you waivers closer into focus: relationships, hopes, situations etc. Remember how Prince's 'Dirty Mind' came out of nowhere and shocked everyone senseless with its sound and scope? Well, this is of the same magnitude without as much expectation. Purchase at all costs!

True Oakenfold Fans of Old Should Like This.......2007-05-30

If the type of sets that Paul Oakenfold used to mix at the turn of the century still appeal to your auditory senses then this may be an album for you. Travelling is a two disc set loaded with tracks that are very reminiscent of Oakenfold's glory years. Expertly mixed and true to his preference for trance. Both discs have a very similar sound throughout although disc 1 has a little more of a darker undertone while disc 2 has a few more clubbers' anthems.

Disc 1 gets 3.5/5 stars and disc 2 gets 3/5 stars.

Descent CD.......2004-09-22

I really enjoy this album although i do agree about the whole thing that this doesnt have a lot of songs that are on his other albums. but sometimes you just don't really care when you hear that good of songs. After a while you do start to think, come on oakenfold, get more creative please, but not in a bunnka kinda way.( not that i dont like bunnka) i definately think this is a good oakenfold set to have. some tracks are boring , some are simply soul grabbing. which i think that is how most of oakies music really is. cheers

A Solid, Yet Uninspired, Mix.......2004-04-15

After listening to "Another World," I was looking forward to giving "Travelling" a go. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the mixes are great. The problem is that it's basically "Another World 2.0." A good majority of the tunes in this mix already appear in "Another World," so if you've heard the aforementioned album, you'll notice this album seems to amount to little more than a track realignment.
To future buyers, it pretty much comes down to choosing either this album or "Another World," but I wouldn't recommend owning both.

The, "Thriller".......2003-08-17

I have a lot of Oakenfold, but this is the big one for me; this is the, "Thriller," of my Oakenfold collection. I can't get enough of this album. The first six months I had it I couldn't stop playing it and had to force myself to play other stuff.It is one year later and I still can't just play part of it. Once it's on, I'm hooked. "Travelling," is the perfect name for this album. He warms you up in fits and starts, then, the minute you hear the first of, "Cry to Dream," it's time to fasten your seat belt as you get blasted into the stratosphere. He keeps you high at that level right through the second disc. Bravo, guy! Six stars!

archaeology of the future.......2004-09-30

Of everything Ms. Monk has recorded, this is to my opinion the very best. Despite all the emphasis on Dolmen Music, don't forget about the other four songs on the album, they're precious! Musically truly amazing and - yes - spiritually moving, the title track can be best decribed as a form of musical archaeology, gradually uncovering some sort of future community. This might sound vague, and the association might be entirely personal, being both a musician and an archaeologist myself. But listen to this incredible work of art, and you will never listen to the human voice in the same way again.

STRANGE DIMENSIONS OF THE HUMAN VOICE.......2002-07-09

To quote Meredith Monk: "The voice is a language, a world of continuing discoveries." She uses her voice to sing, moan, yodel, squeal, whisper and gurgle, at the same time conjuring up a panoply of characters, from elderly women and precocious children to shrieking ghosts and chanting priests. With the exception of The Tale, she does this on Dolmen Music without words, restricting herself to swooping vocalisation, inventive phonemes and ritualistic incantations. The Tale starts off with a child's weird laughter and vocal contortions and then proceeds into some weird lyrics over shattering glass and car horns. The long piece Dolmen Music that concludes the album, sounds very gothic and medieval with interweaving male and female voices. There is very little to compare Monk's work with - perhaps the closest would be some of the works of Diamanda Galas or Tibetan overtone chanting. All in all, a very unusual album that takes to human voice to places it's never been before.

Wow!.......2002-02-14

I just can't get this album out of my head. It's pretty incredible. I didn't even know human voics could make some of the sounds that you hear on this.

First of all, if you're reading this I imagine you're already familiar with Monk. She's not exactly "mainstream," so why else would you be here reading this? Approach this and other Monk albums with an open mind; Meredith Monk is the musical equivalent of abstract expressionism, so if you're expecting something that resembles any preconceived notions of what music traditionally is, forget it! This takes the art to a whole new level. But this is truly a haunting album. I have portions of track five stuck in my head.

A fascinating disc.......2000-11-13

This CD includes one of Monk's few "songs" (with lyrics) -- "The Tale" -- which is a quirky, funny little piece -- and the 20 min title track, which was also titled at one point "Stonehenge," I gather. Both of these are extremely strong cuts and worth listening to. My favorite Monk CD is BOOK OF DAYS, also transplanting us to some imaginary past; my second favorite is FACING NORTH, which, recorded in Banff, explores the feel of the arctic. Third on the list is DOLMEN MUSIC. Only serious devotees need proceed further, though DO YOU BE has some good moments, too (but is out-of-print, I think).
