Fantastica

About the Artist
with a distinct velvety voice, capable of singing songs in any musical genre. Coming from a family of musicians, David’s father was a singer in big band The Heat Waves and so impressive that Cab Calloway asked him to join him on tour. Citing influences such as Frank Sinatra, Roy Orbison, Marty Robbins to the Rolling Stones, David excels in many musical genres.

As a child, David was already entertaining audiences on Screen Gems Little People hosted by Jack Barry, quiz show host of Twenty One as told in the movie Quiz Show. As a teenager David abandoned the spotlight, attended high school and worked as a lifeguard, factory worker and construction site watchman.

No longer able to ignore his true calling for music, David began taking voice lessons and writing his own songs. Prolific and passionate about his songwriting, David has written more than fifty songs in only three years. David independently produces his music with Satellite studios in Montreal resulting in his first album Fantastica, country album Dave’s Country, and the eclectic Ultra Songs. Selected tracks from the upcoming album When will be available soon.

Fantastica,David Rubin,Satellite Records,Each song has a life of it's own.Strong smooth vocals blend with exotic orchestration and stories of hope,danger,romance and vampires.Nice melodies.

The best italian song ever?.......2003-12-28

I just have to say...Antonello Venditti's song "Che fantastica storia é la vita" has for me become the BEST italian song ever -it's amazing.

So u think...why does this guy then only give the album 4 stars?
Well the album "only" contains 9 songs...(incl.2 versions of Che fantastica...) but Im still only have listened to the first one..got it on repeat...

Well buy it, and enjoy it: put the last song on repeat (long version)!!

"Che fantastica storia é la vita"....U're right Antonello.

Romantic modern Italian music with great horns.......2007-02-26

Heard the title song in a cab in Florence in 2003, and I was able to identify the CD in a listening section of a music store. The music has a very beatiful, full, rich sound. Very romantic and evocative. Highly recommended.

Fantastica!!!.......2005-04-23

You wonder how he does it after decades of putting out great music this one is just as great as ever. Its a must have collection for the Venditti fan, and if you are not one already you will become one quickly. "Che Fanstasica Storia E'La Vita" is awesome, and if you want to really treat yourself get "Campus Live 2004" where he recorded this song live. If only I could have made time to see his recent tour in Italy.
Enjoy- no doubt a 5-star CD.

One of his greatest work of art!!.......2004-09-10

This Antonello Venditti CD is probably one of his greatest!! It brings back the old days and so much more new imagination from one of italy s greatest artist. Every song is great.ENJOY!!!!

Intimate Caterina.......2002-01-31

Real adepts, like me, have to get used to this toned-down Caterina. But in this imtimate setting Valente proofs that her voice fortunately is completely intact, and her phrasing in Latin languages is more relaxed than she often sounded in English, especially in the later years.
Listen to 'Fantastica Caterina Valente', and try to forgive this fine singer the echec of 'Girl Talk'.

My alltime favorite Valente album.......2000-12-29

This album originally has been released as "A briglia sciolta". For me it is the best she ever did. No big orchestra just some of Italy's best Jazz musicians. Featuring songs mainly in Italian and Portuguese but also has an English and a French song on. I'm maybe not an average Valente fan as I've always preferred recordings of her later career. Still thinks she's been one of Europe's best Jazz singers ever. Listen to some of the magnificent scat performances she gives on this album Only thing to add the artwork of this re-issue is not very nice.

Nice Recording in her late career.......1998-07-25

This is a relaxing recording for Caterina. I enjoyed listening to the first few songs but got impassion quickly due to the slow pace of all the songs. The usually alive Caterina sings in her sleep in this album

Musically, this is absolutely prime batucada. However, this disc seems to be simply the first disc of the 2-CD Batucada Brasileira. If you can at all afford it you're better off getting the full set.

What Did I do?.......2004-03-15

Ok, first rule of thumb when thinking about buying a new CD from a group that you have previously never heard is...don't trust the single 5 star review! Alright, with the first rule broken, it was all donwhill. Aspera my be great, but I don't hear it. I love eno from taking tiger mountain to harold budd to my life in the bush of ghosts. I dig bowie. I listen to Aphex Twin, can, stereolab, boards of canada and I just don't see any appeal in Aspera. Aspera's vocals are thin and reedy in a way that just gets irritating after a while. At least the Flaming Lips have a techno/electronica sound that gives you something to get sick of after awhile- multi-layering to the point of nausea. But, Aspera has little or nothing that sets it outside the mainstream of electronica music. I mean each track on this CD is just as insipid (if not more ) as the last one. The only track that stood out was the final one- maybe that was becasue I could actually understand the singer's vocals to the point of verbal comprehension. I only gave it two stars because maybe I'm missing something and it might get better with more listening- however, this is not one of those CDs that you listen to and think "yeah, it isn't catching me right away, but there may be something here to develop. Look, after all of this,If you still want this CD just check out my used copy on half.com!

"Oh Fantastica" saves the day!.......2003-06-19

Just when I thought I wouldn't find anything to listen to for the next few weeks to satiate my thirst for good indie music...along comes Aspera. They shake off their previous guise as psychedelia and put on their Eno hats. I don't think there's any guitar at all on this record. This is pure synthesizer pop-funk. Actually I'm not sure what genre of music this is, I hate to use the term "electro" because I dislike most of those posing wanna-be's. Sometimes it's spacey and sometimes danceable...this is like David Bowie's "Low" meets Sir-Mix-Alot; like ELO meets Afrika Bambaataa. There's definitely an early hip-hop influence going on with plenty of shimmering synths to make your eyeballs fill with stars. I had never listened to this band before and had it not been for a local record shop recommending it I probably still wouldn't have heard of it. I'm just passing on the good word...give this a listen. Before you know you'll be dreaming of rollerskating with Olivia Newton John in Xanadu while Biz Markie lays down the soundtrack.
