    5 out of 5 stars this is a six stars.......2006-04-19

    Well first than nothing let me say this to the guy who wrote in french and gives one star to this CD :first write in english even when it is not your first language (like me) you should buy a new pair of ears , because this CD is a solid master piece.

    A friend recomended me this CD because C. ARMSTRONG was in the Massive Atack?s Protection, and i said thank like a hundred times for recomended me this CD , this work is one of those that have a universal feeling (except if you are this guy who wrote in french) i do not know anyone who have not enjoyed this CD!!! .

    The feeling in this CD is already well said for the rest of the reviewers, but i am going to say this: It is a down tempo music full of strings , piano and ocassional beautiful voices (PAUL BUCHANAN from The Blue Nile and LIZ FRAISER from Cocteau Twins) with deep melancholic feeling this music will take you far far away to places where the hope lives at the end.

    5 out of 5 stars Great.......2006-03-08

    Very calm and soothing music. If you enjoy this you should also check out Piano Works.

    1 out of 5 stars Inoffensive musique climatisée.......2005-09-07

    Lors de sa sortie, en 1997, ce disque avait fait sensation : le talentueux arrangeur écossais, croisé dans l'ombre de U2, Madonna, Massive Attack... proposait un premier album solo, où il prétendait conjuguer comme nul autre arrangements symphoniques et technologies modernes...
    Aujourd'hui, presque 10 ans après la publication, que reste-t-il de ce tapage médiatique ? Pas grand chose en fait : à l'occasion d'une réécoute attentive, le disque déçoit par son manque d'homogénéité. Aux reprises plus ou moins d'actualité (une version inutile de Weather Storm, déjà présent 3 ans plus tôt sur le deuxième album de Massive Attack, le thème de Roméo And Juliet, auquel le timbre sensuel de Des'ree fait cruellement défaut) se succèdent des plages instrumentales régulièrement trop longues et bavardes. Tandis que ses meilleures compositions - l'envoûtant This Love, le lumineux Childhood - rappellent timidement quelques élégantes plumes des années 80 tels Virginia Astley ou This Mortal Coil (on réalise alors que la pochette rend discrètement hommage à celle de It'll End In Tears, leur premier chef-d'œuvre, et que la présence de Liz Fraser n'est pas fortuite) toutefois sans jamais atteindre les cimes habituellement survolées par ses glorieux aînés, ses grossières manières - les violons horripilants de Sly II, les rythmiques faussement élaborées de After The Storm, ou le pompeux Rise, à peine digne de figurer sur la bande-son d'un jeu vidéo - le ramènent trop souvent dans les marécages désincarnés d'une musique instrumentale sans âme, où pataugent depuis longtemps Eric Serra et Elton John.
    Mais c'est avec sa "reprise" de Let's Go Out Tonight, à l'origine sur Hats, le chef-d'œuvre inaltérable de The Blue Nile, que l'artisanat malhabile de Craig Armstrong manifeste clairement ses limites : tout à fait conscient qu'il est impossible d'offrir une relecture inédite de cet Everest inaccessible de la pop atmosphérique, il en est réduit à inviter le leader de The Blue Nile à rechanter (!) la sublime mélodie originale, et se contente d'habiller paresseusement la chanson (rythmiques trip-hop dans l'air du temps, contrebasse synthétique...) pour un résultat assez confus, certes moins austère que la première version, mais d'où seul l'organe souverain de Paul Buchanan émerge réellement.
    Sorti la même année que le premier album de Jay-Jay Johanson, autre soufflé de saison bien vite retombé, The Space Between Us ne propose globalement qu'une musique inodore et inoffensive, qui a facilement obtenu un gros succès sur les platines des bobos pressés, ravis de s'offrir un semblant de dépaysement sans effort et à peu de frais...

    4 out of 5 stars Touching.......2004-08-16

    Craig Armstrong's music has the tendency to set your mind drift and to think vast cinematic thoughts. which is probably why he does so many film scores. this album contains some renditions of his movie music along with some other pieces. the mood here is somber and reflective with quiet tones and some downtempo electronics added for effect. the vocal contributers are excellent (esp. Elizabeth Fraser's vocals on "This Love"...which is the main reason why i bought this cd). one of the things i like about his music is that it comes close to being overtly emotional...but retains the distance so that the listener can sort of fill in the blanks. does that make sense?

    4 out of 5 stars Moving music..........2004-04-25

    Its great mood music... its not music I'd listen to whenever I'm driving, for example, but this is really dreamy, cinematic music with a contemporary sound. A great addition to my CD collection, I've never bought anything that sounded like this.

    5 out of 5 stars The best Christian music Album since "Jars of Clay"(self-titled).......2005-12-22

    Let me preface this by saying that I'm an old school rock fan. That is I prefer good instrumentals over good or cool lyrics every time. That being said this easily the best Christian album I've heard in a long time. Note I didn't say this is the best album by a christian artist I've heard in a long time Savior by Skillet for example was a brilliant album especially if you like metal but it wasn't necessarily a great christian album that is to say that it didn't have any truely gripping or interesting socio-religious commentary.

    This album really is a worship album for the 21'st century. Glory Defined is an incrediblly moving ballad that to be quite frank I'm almost a little suprised didn't get any air-play on main-stream radio. I haven't listened to this album enough to pick out details on indiviidual tracks yet but as whole this album is brilliantly produced and has touching religious lyrics that back up the instrumentals. As a Christian I think that it is important for people to listen to music with religious messages for most people the types of truly religious music such as choirs, hymns, and modern worship choruses can seem inaccessible but even so I think it's important that you listen to music that speaks to you that you can also enjoy. Literally whatever kind of music your into this is possible. If you don't believe me consider this. My favourite genere of music is british rock(for record the U2 is the greatest band of all time). A great british rock band that is also a great worship band I listen to is Delirious I could go on talking about other great bands that have written worship music in unlikely generes but it would be pointless. In conculsion if your looking for a christmas present this is a great worship/rock album buy it if that sounds in anyway enticing to you.

    2 out of 5 stars Im not a kid.......2005-10-10

    In my opinion most of these songs sound the same. And One Time To Many is a blatant rip-off of Cadillac by Mest. The meanings are good but the music is very mediocre and boring. Just my opinion.

    4 out of 5 stars Starts strong, ends....not as strong.......2005-08-22

    This cd opens up with their old skool creedish-like single Glory Defined which is a pretty good alt. rocker. Next up are the wonderful songs Above It All, The Space In Between Us (Best soft rock song of the year in my opinion) and the surprising hard rocker One Time Too Many. However, after the first 4 songs, the cd takes a dip for the worse. While none of the tracks towards the end are horrible they are just rather generic and seem to be lacking a certain hop. If the rest of the cd were like the first four songs I'd be giving this a 5+ on the rating system.

    4 out of 5 stars Great Lyrics, Great Sound.......2005-08-21

    Prior to buying this album, I had only heard two of their songs, 'Glory Defined' and the title track.

    The rest of the album contains songs that sound almost as good as those two. The entire album is full of songs with solid Christian lyrics and a very pleasant, energetic rock sound.

    This is definitely a worthwhile album. I recommend it.

    5 out of 5 stars This CD is AWESOME!!!!.......2005-06-22

    This CD has got to be one of the greatest Christain CDs this year. The only CDs that are better are Kutless (Strong Tower) and Phillips, Craig, and Dean (Let the Worshipers Arise), who are both hard to beat, but this is a close 3rd. I'm listening to it while I write this review. The three best songs (in this order) are "Shadow of Angels" (#6), "Glory Defined" (#1), and "The Space in Between Us" (#3). I highly reccomend this CD.

    Rawer and bolder than fellow L.A. hardcore folkies X, the Geraldine Fibbers have lashed out with a frighteningly successful debut album. Lost Somewhere Between the Earth and My Home is an oppressively heavy record, both musically and emotionally, that brings punk rock as close as it has ever come to sounding rootsy. Ferocious and painfully beautiful, singer Carla Bozulich can't seem to decide if she's Patti Smith or Patsy Cline. Similarly numbing and relentless, Daniel Keenan's bleeding guitar and Jessy Greene's weeping violin grind and moan like the Velvet Underground reinterpreting Creedence Clearwater Revival tunes. In other words, the Fibbers growl resembles 10,000 Maniacs--that is, if they really sounded like ten thousand maniacs. Throughout Lost Between, Bozulich wails over broken and destructive relationships--that common lyrical bond between classic country and gothic gloom-rock--as if she'd met the devil at the crossroads, pierced his tongue, and then given him a ride with her to hell. She sings about sinking to a point so low that pitiful hate is the only place to turn--and where half that hate is violently thrust at those who've abused her, while the other half gets nursed inside. Sometimes she tells stories, like the grotesque tales in "A Song About Walls" and "Richard." Other times she just spews narcotized hallucinations like "Lillybelle" and "Marmalade." But always the imagery teeters nervously between goodnight prayer and bad nightmare. --Roni Sarig

    I bought this album after seeing the Dragon Lady video (I'm probably the only person who saw it. LOL!). Dragon Lady is great but every song on "Lost Somewhere..." is as powerful as DL. In fact, this album is so powerful, I can't listen to it too often because it's so gut-wrenching. And yet because it's so rewarding, I want to listen to it as often as I can. The music is so alive and vibrant and spontaneous, it's what music should sound like. And the lyrics are amazing. It's a CD I'll be treasuring for a long time. Long live the Geraldine Fibbers.

    5 out of 5 stars The world was robbed of this band..........2001-01-21

    As someone who over the last 18 years has owned at one time or another well over 3,000 CDs, tapes, and albums, I have to say that this record is in the top 10 of all I have ever heard. To quote Frank Sinatra (via Staurday Night Live) Carla Bozulich, the lead singer, has chunks of Courtney Love in her stool! This is the fiercest, most fully-conceived female-led punk rock record of all time. Hands down... How to describe the sound without putting people off-- it's punck-rock country-blues, played at blazing volumes. The musicianship is outstanding-- this is a band captured at its absolute PEAK. This record captures that rare magic of hearing a group of dedicated musicians playing together with a sense of purpose. It is inconceivable that this record did not lead to the break-out of this band. One suspects that the ....... (and relatively undeserved) success of Hole and Courtney Love led to this record getting overlooked. Does the world only have room for one strong female rock singer at a time? Even if that were true, one listen to this record will confirm that Carla was robbed! Everything you hate about Courney Love, Carla does NOT have! We were robbed of the experience of watching music this good succeed.

    The subsequent Fibbers album, Butch, has its moments for sure, but this one sets the standard.

    Lately, Carla has done an album with guitarist Nels Cline (a later member of the Fibbers) under the name Scarnella, that is very raw, rough and unrehearsed. It's a distant echo of this album, though.

    If you love music, it is your DUTY to buy this album. It is in a class all by itself.

    5 out of 5 stars The Geraldine Fibbers.......2000-10-11

    When Carla sings she sends chills up my spine. You music lovers know the chill I am talking about. The only way I know how to describe this woman is shes sings with the experience and pain of Billy Holiday and the passion of Wendy O Willams(maybe more apparant on the album Butch). The music all together is fantastic! You can hear her influences of punk,country,blues and whatever else they wanted to throw in the mix. This band should have made it big. Some of the lame bands out there that made it big can't even hold a candle to the Geraldine Fibbers!

    5 out of 5 stars Musical Abusement Park.......2000-04-02

    the emotional pitch of this album swings back and forth so frequently and fluently that there have been times i've literally had to stop listening because the ride was too intense. it's in the way the bass and viola of the opening "lillybelle" lull you up and up and up before the guitar pulls you over the top, hurtling you down faster and rougher and scarier than you thought things would get. lillybelle sets the tone lyrically as well: she's one of a cast of empty, wasted, battered, dreamy, graceful, stoic, resilient characters. "get off of that trip" indeed...except there are 11 more songs liable to lock you right where you sit.

    by the time you hit the too-good-for-pop-radio "dragon lady" you're prepared for anything, and get it, straight through to the ultimate album closer "get thee gone," a moody waltz at once punk and country, resigned and defiant, inviting and discordant. as a whole, the album is not really punk and not really art-rock and not really country and not really indie. like the lifestyle it portrays, it ain't all pretty, but in the end you find yourself cycling back through it over and over again.

    side note: this is the only live band i've ever seen avoid the encore facade, simply stating "ok now we'll play a few more songs for our encore" and playing the remainder of the set instead of walking off and having to be artificially coaxed back by an audience desperate for more. and this is their best album. need i say more?

    5 out of 5 stars Plays like the hoedown before the apocalypse..........1999-07-01

    That more people know about Shania Twain than Carla Bouzlich is a big shame. Buy this album if you're convinced that country has been sold out to hat-wearing yuppies or that punk has gone stale. Her vocals and lyrics will make you think of a drug-addled Patsy Cline. Much like the legendary Cline, Bouzlich fully understands the value of writing songs that are deceptively simple yet hold an sinister undercurrent to them. Just as the music starts to lull you, you feel the hand of the devil just barely on your shoulder...

    5 out of 5 stars Stand-out country tinged pop.......2007-07-30

    I first heard the Audreys at the Queenscliff Music Festival last year. I was really impressed - one of the best live acts I have seen for some time.
    I have seen their music classified as 'country' which is a bit misleading, I would rather class them as 'adult pop' (though I would not want to slot them into any arbitrary genre).
    I think the country tag arises because of the generous doses of banjo throughout the album but lyrically it only has a 'country' feel on a couple of tracks.
    I don't think there is a dud track on the whole album, but there are a couple which I think could become classics - 'Pale Dress' and 'Where Are You Now?'
    In short the playing is first class and Taasha Coates's voice is superb (I'm in luurv!)

    5 out of 5 stars Unbelievably wonderful alt-country/pop.......2006-07-09

    Six months later I'm still having trouble coming to terms with just how very good Between Last Night & Us is. The Audreys - an Adelaide-based four-piece, (sometimes five) - have released a brilliant album, bound to feature prominently in 2006's Best Of lists. The lead-off track, `You & Steve McQueen', received regular airplay on Australian radio after appearing on a 2005 EP of the same name, and here it makes the perfect opening number, easily sounding like it's drifting in from somewhere on the edge of an Arizona desert, or Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In fact, if you were hearing this album with no foreknowledge, you'd be hard-pressed to believe that it was produced early last winter by the brilliant Shane O'Mara at his Yikesville Studio in Melbourne.

    For comparison, the sounds of Canada's Be Good Tanyas might be a nice reference point, but the lovely Taasha Coates, plus Tristan Goodall, brother Cam Goodall, (recently departed to pursue a burgeoning solo career), and Mikey G, all add a much heftier dose of pop to their mix of alt.country and bluegrass. (Producer O'Mara also contributes guitar, lap-steel, dobro, bass and samples across the album) Stunning - repeat, STUNNING - standouts include the orgasmically-shuddery `Banjo & Violin', the previously mentioned 'Steve McQueen', `Nothing Wrong With Me' and `Come On In', which starts out pretty and delicate, before developing some serious muscle towards the end. They even manage to get away with a cover of the INXS tune, 'Don't Change', (on original pressings only).

    The Audreys have been touring non-stop for almost a year now, and their live shows are simply devastating - make sure you catch them somewhere soon.

    5 out of 5 stars BTD's Stellar Debut.......2007-07-18

    Black Tie Dynasty perfectly embrace the sounds of bands such as Joy Division, The Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen, catching the post punk wave that exploded in the 80's and updating it to make it relevant in today's world. Smooth and drifting soundscapes flash across the songs, the melodies hint towards a Britpop groove with a solid American Pop base to stand on.

    5 out of 5 stars I Think I Like You.......2005-10-15

    I have to say that Black Tie Dynasty are a solid new act with great potential. This ep is a stellar start to what might be a steady climb to the top. Sure bands such as The Killers and Franz Ferdinand are making waves with the 80's dance grooves, but one thing that makes Black Tie stand out is the fact that the songs have soul. Cory Watson is a great lyricist. His lyrics matched with great music puts Black Tie on the darker side with just a hint of light. I can sit and listen to the entire 6 song ep and just lose myself. I have had the opportunity to see them live several times and let me just say that they have the whole package. The band is currently working on a full length album and the songs that are gonna be on it are incredible. With a little press and some prime time radio play we could just see the band take flight. If you want a great album that will keep you moving....this is it! Just check the band's myspace profile and see the comments the fans have been leaving.

    4 out of 5 stars "Black Tie, Right Noise".......2005-06-22

    source: www.alternativemalta.com

    For a debut EP, Black Tie Dynasty sure have stated their mission: to conquer all territories with their 80's alternative sound. Yes I know every second band are sounding like Joy Division, early U2 and Echo and the Bunnymen these days, but BTD are different. The sound may share some similarities but there is much more to them then that.


    Chiming melodies scatter themselves across the record's thirty minutes. Add a groovy bass and stadium-sized choruses and you have a band that shows potential, and boy these guys have tons of it.
    Like I said before this is an excellent debut release and if this is a first step for a band as good as this then I'm sure there will be giant footsteps to follow!

    Black Tie Dynasty sucks!

    The least of the cool kids can tell after one listen that there is a lack of balance between how good this album actually is and how good the members of B.T.D. obviously THINK it is.

    If you like clasic 70's country than this CD is for you. Bring back memories of deer hunting with my Dad and Brothers.

    4 out of 5 stars from the vaults.......2005-03-20

    "Fightin' Side of Me," was recorded live in Philadelphia in the late '60s or early '70s, when protesting the Vietnam war was all the rage. This is the better of the two live Haggard albums I own, and I love his impressions, along with the novelty song "Harold's Super Service," available no place else. That one inspired a story by Jean Shepherd for "Playboy," about a pump jockey. Any song that can get Jean Shepherd interested is worth hearing--and singing. The truly weird part of this CD is just this--the first part, "Just Between the Two of Us," isn't Merle Haggard. That's a Buck Owens album. There's no mistake whatsoever. So, this is the oddest combo on one CD I ever heard. Luckily I enjoy Buck, so no problem, and I would have paid the full price just for the live Haggard album alone if I had to. a real treat.

    5 out of 5 stars Merle Haggard "Live In Muskogee Oklahoma" from 1969.......2004-04-20

    5 out of 5 stars merle haggard : the fightin' side of me - live.......2004-04-18

    what a great album! my dad had this album on 8 track when i was a kid. i've been looking for it for 25 years and finally someone has re-released it! this is hag and the strangers at their best. the highlight of the album for me is merle doing his impersonations of marty robbins, hank snow, johnny cash, and a killer buck owens that you would swear is really him! if you're a haggard fan this is a must have. if i could own only one hag album, this would be it!

    3 out of 5 stars I'm a huge fan of Jules, but not of this CD. Buy any other first........2006-03-23

    Each of these songs is crafted as a duet with close harmonies and subtle chord changes. These conditions create difficult challenges: Do both singers sing exactly on key, or off in the same way, and anticipate each others' timing (no-not enough time with these songs, even for Jules)? Do the basic nature and timbres of their voices complement each other (typically, no-Jules has a rough, dusty, sometimes gravelly voice that is hard to match.

    Patty Griffin (tr 5), Suzy Roche (tr 6), Carole King (tr 10), Rob Shear (tr 11), Mary Ramsey (tr 13), Margo Timmine (re 14) match Jules well. Amy Rigby (tr 15) is close. Tasty duet with Rob Wasserman (tr 8) is instrumental. Weak to bad: Paula Cole (tr 1), Susan Cowsill (tr 4), Angie Hart (tr 7), Freedy Johnston (tr 9), Curtis Stigers (tr 12). Also on the CD: Roseanne Cash, Ron Sexsmith.

    The songs are quintessential Jules; no one else would use these chord changes or such precise but slightly bent wordplay on these topics. Best to think of these songs as folk settings à la Harry Smith. Then they create warm intimate settings for striking songs. Careful, spare accompaniment supports this approach. The very raggedness of these songs seems to give them unusual depth and warmth that is surprising for the ever-clever Jules. Much more than the consummate popster. Still, the dissonances don't go away with repeated listening. I want to like this more than I actually like it. [61:37]

    5 out of 5 stars Awful CD cover, but first-rate songs!!!.......2004-07-08

    I like all kinds of music and own almost 2,000 CD's, but if I had to pick just a few of my favorites, this Jules Shear CD would certainly be one of the top five. Beautiful lyrics, lovely melody, great duet vocals,...simply one of the best easy-listening CD's of the last 15 or even 20 years! Sure he looks funny on the cover, but don't let that fool you!

    5 out of 5 stars How Many Times.......2003-10-10

    The "Last in Love" is just one of the meaningful songs on this day-dreamy album. You could imagine yourself sitting out on a huge lawn listening to a concert in the late afternoon. There is a comfort in the harmony that comes close to intimacy. It could be that the songs are duets and the acoustic guitar draws you into an inner circle.

    "Who's Dreaming Who" talks about a dream of love, and "It's All over But the Smoke" follows in an appropriate fashion.

    "Windows and Walls" is powerful and perhaps my favorite song due to the sheer depth and truth in the thoughts. "The silence will not comfort you... The breaking of a spell... you can't keep a love in with windows and walls."

    I also loved the lyrics in "How Many Times."

    "Don't ask me if its right
    or if we put out the light
    Just when it started to shine,
    ask me how many times.
    It isn't right
    It isn't fair
    Love takes you everyplace
    But we're still standing here"
    ~How Many Times

    Did someone say this recording has only depressing songs? "On These Wheels Again" is downright funny complete with howling dogs. I also liked the lyrics later about the dog running through the wet cement.

    "Sealed Up Hollow" speaks of the wounds making you what you are and is one of the most beautiful songs in this collection.

    Some of the lyrics might be about melancholy moments, but overall, I felt the songs brought a peaceful resolve to my day. These songs are really thoughtful Meditations on Relationships with a focus on "Shear" Honesty.

    Dedicated to a wise friend who has taught me so many lessons and is showing me a whole new world of music. Happy Birthday.

    5 out of 5 stars Who's Dreaming Who?.......2003-10-04

    This album generates the most controversy from Jules listeners. Some hate it, others love it for the elusive gem I think it is. It's one of those that you have to listen to about five times to really appreciate how different all the songs are, and how poignant. Sure, some of the songs are depressing, but there's plenty of room for sad songs in my life as well as the Bangles.

    Honestly, I still cry every time I hear Windows and Walls. It is absolutely haunting. Who's Dreaming Who was tailor made for George Jones and Tammy Wynette (too late now).

    It's a genius album, if you give it a chance.

    4 out of 5 stars Beautiful Two -part Singing.......2002-12-28

    I keep coming back to this album. Would somebody please tell me why "How Many Times" isn't considered one of the best country songs ever written?

    Fast becoming one of smooth jazz's hookiest songwriters, Steve Cole scored two No. 1 radio hits off his 1998 debut, Stay Awhile. No doubt that means program directors will continue to favor those tunes, but, hopefully, it won't be at the expense of the takes-one-listen-only-to-hum craftsmanship of many of the tracks on the follow-up, Between Us. Cole has the notion of "quick verse, get to the brassy hook" down to such a science that it may take a few listens to realize that the opening tracks, "Got It Goin' On" and "From the Start," are two different songs. On both, producer Brian Culbertson provides the simmering retro keyboard atmospheres beneath silky, laid-back tenor lines, but only for brief respites between the perfect choruses, on which Cole textures tenor with multiple-alto backing tracks. Cole sticks with this approach while varying rhythms throughout the disc, as if holding back on us throughout the verse sections and then making sure his hooks are amplified by brass, so that we keep wanting him to return to them. He and Culbertson take this technique to new and exciting levels on a slow-simmering cover of TLC's "Waterfalls," texturing a horn section lead melody with another multiple-horn harmony section; every few beats, Cole jumps out of the pattern to blow a cool tenor improvisation. Cole is a muscular tenor player by trade, but he will no doubt attract the mush lovers with his very tender soprano beauty on "For Your Love." --Jonathan Widran

    4 out of 5 stars Solid Sophmore Release.......2004-10-20

    Steve's 2nd release is solid. Continuing with the area Steve set out in his debut Stay Awhile, this CD takes over and expands aras of the smooth jazz format. There is the funky tune, Funky D, the title track and ballad Between Us, and two tracks which received radio airplay and are concert staples. All 10 tracks are solid and in my opinion set a high bar for his 3rd release. The CD has been out for several years so you can find a good used copy out there although it won't be mine!!!!

    5 out of 5 stars cole is jazz-soul.......2003-04-30

    Although there's little here stylistically that isn't on Steve Cole's debut "Stay Awhile," "Between Us" is a solid jazz-soul album, save for an ill-conceived vocal track ("Together Again"). My favorite tracks are the superb title track and the steamy "For Your Love," slow songs that really show off Cole's amazing chops. If you liked the other Steve Cole albums or the work of his saxaphone contemporaries (Boney James, Nelson Rangell et al), you'll love this one.

    4 out of 5 stars Steve Cole is the man!!.......2003-02-21

    This is a CD that is unique in that you will like if not love most every title on it. The first two titles are especially good! I bought the first album and was pleased; he has however out done himself with this album (Between Us). I look forward to the next CD w/ anxious anticipation!

    5 out of 5 stars Smooth and Funky.......2002-10-13

    verrrrry smmmmmmoooth, my fav>>> "Take me home to you", real superb CD. All cuts are excellent. You'll love listening over and over again>>>>>

    4 out of 5 stars Hey, I even liked the vocal!.......2002-08-03

    It seems that those who didn't wholly like this CD were especially against "Together Again" with its vocal, while I thought this was a sharp "wake up" number to be placed near the midpoint.

    Be that as it may, there are several sounds here, tribal at times, smoky cocktail lounge-like at times, heart-tugging, and yet rhythms that make your feet want to dance. The sax itself sings at time and dances at times.

    I would say that Steve Cole needs to go a bit further before he'll be accepted as a top man in the smooth jazz genre, but the spark is there. Songs such as Together Again, Between Us, and Waterfall exhibit a talent to be reckoned with.

    5 out of 5 stars THE essential live Hip album.......2007-02-16

    It is very easy to get excited about this CD when you look at the set list for this concert. A solid arrangement of singles and classics along with other songs not as popular such as The Wherewithal and Don't Wake Daddy make it timeless. I can easily see myself picking this CD up again and enjoying it just as much 10 years from now.

    When buying and listening to live albums of any band I always look for a few distinct qualities: Set list, length, quality of recording, amounts of ad-libbing, and crowd interaction. This album fails in none of those departments! The song choices for the concert is excellent in my opinion, the quality is equivalent to a studio recording, and the crowd is heard well throughout the whole CD.

    The only possible drawbacks are that sometimes Gordy gets a little long-winded between verses and songs. Although it'll never bother me, I can see it being a low point for some listeners. Finally, even though its 14 tracks long I still would wish for more tracks but I think that's just me being greedy.

    Buy this!!

    5 out of 5 stars I Said "I'm Tragically Hip, Come On Just Let's Go"..........2005-04-15

    ... She sort of bit her lip, "Gee I don't know"

    This was my first ever Tragically Hip CD and (moreover) one of the first CDs that I ever owned. So, I have a bit of a bias in its favour. That being said, there is no better introduction to the Hip than their stellar live album "Live Between Us".

    This CD offers hit after hit and really captures some of the tremendous energy of the Hip live. Ive seen them 4 times now and those have been some of my favourite concerts ever. Ive never been disappointed by the Hip live, and you won't be disappointed by this.

    I would hesitate to recommend this album to the seasoned Hip collector, as it doesn't add that much to the studio versions and there are many, many great live Hip tracks widely available to download ("Killer Whale Tank", anyone?). But, it is still a great CD and is far from a waste of money

    All in all, this is a awesome live CD from a awesome live band.

    5 out of 5 stars The Hip at their finest.......2004-07-23

    As a long time listener to "The Hip" transplated to the good ol U.S of A I turn all my friends into Hip fans with this one.. Some of the most recent work they have done shows more maturity, but this is a great intro to a great Canadian Band...

    4 out of 5 stars What a live album should be........2003-12-10

    This was a very pleasant suprise. Not only did I get the live album I was looking for, but I also got most of their popular songs. Of course there's a few tracks missing, but this does include "Grace Too", "Springtime In Vienna", "Gift Shop", and "Ahead By A Century". Plus it's got the excellent and moving "Courage". Most people should like "Gordon Downie's" ramblings between songs, but everyone should like how good this sounds. It's one of the best sounding live albums I've ever heard. Near studio quality, but with the crowd noise of course. Overall, I'd call it the best release from "The Tragically Hip", and one of the few available, even though it's an import.

    5 out of 5 stars the "hippest" live cd oot there.......2003-02-07

    "Live Between Us" is the only live CD i have ever heard that captures the whole experience of a concert. You can feel the crowd from beginning to end...The CD captures the unmistakeable presence of Gord D as he hammers oot the lyrics...from The Luxury to Nautical Disaster...this CD captures all that a live show is...and more
