One thing you know you'll get from Franti and Spearhead is a certain kind of crystal clarity--on the production, musicianship, and, of course, in the righteous political message. Released two years after Franti traveled by himself to war-ravaged Baghdad, Gaza Strip, and the West Bank, each of these songs deals with the human cost of war poignantly and pointedly. The lyrics may seem simplistic when removed from the songs--"Those who start wars never fight them/And those who fight wars never like them" and "The F15 is a homicide bomber"--but very few artists have the honesty and balls that Franti does. Bless him for that. Spearhead might lose credibility with some by tying Peter Tosh's chant to "legalize it" to their call for revolution, but those folks are not in the target demographic, anyway. Those who are will thoroughly dig this. From the jam band accents of "Time to Go Home" to the reggae of "Light Up Ya Lighter" to the U2-ish ballad "I Know I'm Not Alone," it's easily Franti's best album yet. --Mike McGonigal

Description

In 2004, Franti and his team traveled to the core of the red-zoned, war torn neighborhoods of Baghdad, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip with his guitar, video cameras, and the intent to experience first hand the human cost of war. Out of this journey, he created a compelling documentary ("I Know I'm Not Alone") and a searing, reflective album of original songs. "Yell Fire!" is his most compelling, engaged collection of songs, fired by a fury at the injustice of war, and a rediscovery of the love and community that supports those doing the fighting. It embraces reggae, blues, folk, hip-hop, and the anthemic politics of rock artists like U2 and Springsteen. With massive grooves and soaring choruses, Franti and Spearhead have produced an album to inspire and ignite.

Best music to emerge fromt he Iraq War.......2007-07-13

Michael Franti is a dedicated musician and person. If you get a chance to see him live, don't miss him. Yell Fire! does not quite capture the power of his live concerts, but comes very close. The songs on Yell Fire! capture his love of humanity and sardonic commentary on the war. A few of his songs sound like covers of U2 songs, but if you are going to cover a band, you could do worse than U2. Franti's music is based in reggae, but offers a broad variety of music that is quite good.

No one will replace Bob Marley, but Franti comes close.......2007-07-09

i purchased the Yell Fire album about 3months ago i find i keep going back to listen to it again and again as it has the certain magic of a charismatic communicator that can give you both so much spirituality and outrage in a riveting mix.
The voice, the intensity, the knowing you are listening to the real thing, and nothing phony, knowing that love and outrage can co-exist, which brings immediately to mind the last word of the album "Co-Existence".
Michael Franti has been just below the radar for some years now but i feel his "Yell Fire" album will make more and more aware the gift this man has.
i have never seen him perform, but i can imagine him at 6'6" and ean and with dred-locks makes for a fine stage persona as he moves to the beat.
One wanting fine writing and beat from a man with a message that needs be heard, this is THE ALBUM, it is a must.
For those of neo-conservative bent or merely think they be good citizens of good country that is bringing democracy to the world, don't buy this album, you would despise it as you are what he is OUTRAGED at.
As Franti sings "The revolution, it will come without warning", i simply think "yes".
i am glad we have at a superb talent such as Franti to stand up and sing out his heart, a great album is this "Yell Fire". Max90

The best hip-hop hippie protest and dance music out there!.......2007-06-11

After some of their sublime recent efforts, I was ready for a letdown, but this CD just keeps giving and giving. Yell Fire is an absolute rocker and shows Michael isn't ready to back down from laying the truth out there. Many other great social consciousness and peace music tracks on there ('It's time to come home,' 'East to the West', 'Hello Hello', ...). Also my 14 month old daughter loves to dance to tracks 8 and 9!

Michael's leading the love revolution. When I saw him in Tucson last year it was one of the greatest performances I've seen. The most amazing things was his total confidence in himself which seems to have led him into a position of being totally selfless in his sharing.

It's not often..........2007-05-30

... I hear a record so emotionally powerful that it moves me to tears. This is an extraordinary record.

Great! Great! Great!!!.......2007-05-19

I am not usually a "reggae" fan, but this album is great. It has a timely message of waking up about war and it sure wakes up the listener. My husband asked me if I had worn the grooves off the CD yet. He (the old time country music fan) is even singing along with a couple songs. I would gladly give this album as a gift to anyone one I know. In fact, I have been spreading the word about this album to anyone who will listen.

Album Description

From the co-creator of ENIGMA !

Highly acclaimed co-producer and guitarist of the multi-platinum group Enigma, Jens Gad brings you a spellbinding downtempo musical odyssey into the ancient mythology of his Scandinavian homeland. He is joined by the entrancing classical vocals of Helene Horlyck, to co-create a sophisticated and hypnotic chill-out journey through "The Nine Worlds" of archaic legend. At once stirring and calming, entertaining yet relaxing, Achillea achieves a vibrantly new and hauntingly beautiful musical vision that artfully blends evocative ambient New Age atmospheres with European dance club electronica. Achillea elegantly weaves the mystery of ancient myth - a world of seers, elves, and rune masters, into a lush, richly layered sonic landscape with velvety melodies of delicately bluesy guitar playing, slow sensuous grooves and silky smooth vocals sung in Latin and ancient Swedish. Both intimate and cinematic, this uniquely transcendent masterpiece is full of deep beauty and mysterious wonder that will nourish your soul.

"Achillea is the new project for producer/guitarist Jens Gad, co-producer, co-writer and one of the central creative forces behind popular group Enigma (alongside Michael Cretu). For his first solo project, Gad presents an atmospheric album of tunes themed after Danish myth. Enigma fans should definitely take note, as there are many common denominators between both groups: the same laid-back "Enigma-style" beats, Gregorian chant, whispery vocals and Gad's signature electric guitar. Achillea differs by offering an album steeped in dreamy ambience. This album slower paced and more ethereal, making it better suited for the mind than the dance floor. Adding to the appeal is the wispy, sensual vocals of singer Helene Horlyck, who sings on many of the tracks. Serene, slightly trippy and sure to bring on a bout of Enigma nostalgia, this is a must for worldbeat/chill music fans." - Music Design In Review

Customer Reviews:

Austerity and beauty all mesh on "The Nine Worlds"........2007-02-11

I was entranced by the debut release by artist Achillea. To my peasant surprise, I leanred that it is also a side project of Enigma's guitarist and in terms of side-projects, Achillea is almost as good as Enigma.

The debut album has a similar trademark to Enigma's album but the tracks stand out altogether with beauties like "Odin's Hill", "The Garden if Lisfaraine" and "Seeres Prophecy". Overall, "The Nine Worlds" is almost like a sequel to Enigma's third album from more than a decade ago.

This is highly recommended.

Ambience Spectacular!.......2006-11-27

I am a big fan of early Enigma and having found a first solo release by co-producer of Enigma's Jens Gad, I decided to purchase this release from Amazon.com. Jens is a superb handler of the guitar and it was a pleasure to hear his contributions on Enigma especially on 'Cross Of Changes' and the song 'Turn Around'. But it is good and fitting to see his first solo album be released, and whilst there is alot of similarity with Enigma, he brings to his album a more reflective, softer ambient driven sound that is both spiritual and refreshing. It is a nice chill-out album.

'Achilles' provides sweet and sensual beats with gregorian chants, soft guitar rifts, and a ethno-flavoured landscape. It should be noted that both Jens and his singer Helene are danish and this album is fashioned after numerous Danish folklore. Therefore you expect Danish lyrics and you do get a mixture of Latin and Danish with some English mixed in. All in all the mix is beautifully orchestrated and well-done.

The 12 tracks on this albums offers the listener pure music bliss, and it will take you on a journey that is much needed and is soul nourishing. There is no need to go through each track. This album will mean different things to all people who listen to it. Open your mind, have a open opinion and enjoy. I have and still do.

Pretty nice music, a little bit short of Enigma........2006-11-22

It's quite nice, althought definitely not an Enigma, the female voice is beautiful, but quite monotonous all across most of the songs. Still a good addition to one's New Age sound collection.

If you liked Enigma's "Cross of Changes"..........2006-11-14

Only now that I've heard The Nine Worlds do I appreciate how significant Jens Gad's influence was on the sound of Cross of Changes-era Enigma. The guitar style from that album's "I Love You, I'll Kill You" permeates, but never dominates this album, and I love it. The synth-based writing and arrangement styles are familiar as well. The title track, "The Nine Worlds," is something of a sonic "missing link" between the two albums, with a touch of chant, tablas, and a guitar sound one step closer to "I Love You, I'll Kill You" than the rest of this album.

The first Achillea song I heard was "Cape Porcupine". It remains my favorite song from the album, and is representative of what you'll hear throughout The Nine Worlds. Helene Horlyck's vocal stylings are featured on over half of the album's tracks, and she shares writing credits on those. Her high end is somewhat breathy, and has a piercing edge that frustrates my appreciation of her contributions, but the lower end of her range is beautifully smooth. "Othila - The Rune Masters" is a welcome exception, which I can only attribute to its guest writer/producer, John Tonks.

The Nine Worlds is a great listen for a bit, but there isn't enough variety to make it a really great album. I'm perfectly happy to listen to the whole thing passively, but when I'm listening actively, I typically only get through the first five or six songs ("Odin's Hill" is a highlight I never skip) before changing CDs. I would expect your affinity for The Cross of Changes to be a good indicator of how much you'll like The Nine Worlds.

Austere Ethereal Beauty.......2006-08-30

This album needs a few listens to allow its true beauty to unfold.
If you are after the lush percussive sensory smorgasboard of Enigma , you will be disappointed.

Put aside your preconceptions and open your mind to the pure spare instrumental arrangements accompanied beautifully by Helene Horlyks sublime ethereal vocals . Everything is pared back to a delightful minimalism that sometimes sounds so spacious that the songs seem otherworldly.

Definitely a match to the other great works of Delerium, Enigma , Amethystium etc

As the New York Times put it when Danny Elfman's Serenada Schizophrana was performed live at Carnegie Hall in February 2005: "Better good Hollywood music than second-rate Brahms." Elfman, better known for his soundtracks to Tim Burton movies, had been commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra to write a concert work, and the Serenada Schizophrana in six movements was the result. It appears here under the baton of John Mauceri, known for his crossover work with Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. Fans of Elfman's soundtracks won't be disappointed—or even very much surprised—by this venture into the concert hall. The composer's style remains very much the same, probably because his habitual orchestrator, Steve Bartek (whose contribution is crucial to Elfman's sound), worked on four movements, with Edgardo Simone handling the remaining two. Blending Bernard Herrmann, Duke Ellington, Max Steiner, and especially JG Thirlwell (a.k.a. big-band industrialist Foetus), Elfman has come up with an audience-friendly piece that actually sounds more convincing than similarly high-reaching works by Paul McCartney or Elvis Costello.--Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

A soundtrack without a movie.......2007-06-27

Danny Elfman is one of Hollywood's most talented score writers, with more than 100 movie soundtracks under his belt. His musical arrangements never fail to impress, and he has an almost mystical ability to match the mood of his music to the action on-screen -- particularly when he's working with filmmaker Tim Burton.

Commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra, this symphonic piece gave the former Oingo Boingo frontman a new challenge -- working without the visual cues of a movie to inspire him. But, while the resulting tracks are entertaining on an aural level, they still sound like a soundtrack to me. And, without my own visual memories to accompany the music, my imagination filled them in -- I mostly saw scenes of Johnny Depp emoting or the stop-action hijinks of a skellington at play. Appropriately, it was later picked for use as a soundtrack for the IMAX film, Deep Sea 3D.

So really, it's simple. If you enjoy Elfman's soundtrack work, get this and you'll love it. If you think soundtracks should only be heard in the background of a film, skip this or get yourself to an IMAX theater for a little underwater exploration with narrators Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet and, of course, Elfman.

ohh weird!.......2007-04-26

Weird and Good! You can definitely identify it being an Elfman work. I really enjoy this ride. I would like to see a modern ballet put to this!

Danny Elfman turns the music world on it's ear........2007-04-13

Mr. Elfman is always traveling new roads in discovering what he can accomplish. "Serenada Schizophrana" is a good example of starting at square one and producing a whole new world for our ears to digest. In a musical landscape as far away from mainstream, one would expect no less than ears that could digest. Mr. Elfman is always flexing his artistic muscles, we can expect more greatness in his career.

Elfman's Classical Album a Must Have.......2007-03-20

This is vintage Danny Elfman but on the grand level of a full orchestral classical recording. I played this for my students, and they love the dark recording. A fantastic album.

Danny Elfman's masterpiece..........2007-02-14

Danny Elfman has long been a favorite of mine, going all the way back to his days with Oingo Boingo. I've been following his career closely since I heard his Beetlejuice score in 1988. He followed it with the classic Batman score in 1989. He made wonderful music throughout the nineties, often accompanying Tim Burton's films (he scored all of them save for Ed Wood). In my opinion, it took until 1999 to surpass his work on Batman, with the release of the Sleepy Hollow soundtrack. And now, with the release of Serenada Schizophrana, Sleepy Hollow has been dethroned. It'll take an impressive score to take this last composition's place.

This orchestral suite showcases Elfman's versatile influences and he sounds better than ever. Sometimes dark, other times playful with more quiet and subtle parts, this was a completely different project than his usual film scores. He had a lot of freedom for this symphony and it shows. Serenada is divided in 7 movements and contains a bonus track.

If some of the cuts sound familiar, it's because it was heavily featured in last year's Imax film Deep Sea 3D, narrated by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet. It fit perfectly well with the mysterious underwater world unfolding in 3D on the oversized screen.

If you're a fan of Elfman's, you'll love Serenada. If you love movie scores, chances are you'll enjoy it too. The only downside with this CD has nothing to do with its content, but rather with its encoding. This is a SACD (Super Audio CD) and therefore will not be playable on your computer. It is designed for super audio players so you might want to check if your CD player can play it. It plays fine on mine and on my DVD player. The sound quality is much clearer than your average CD, but I find it disappointing that I'm not able to listen to this great suite on my IPod. Still, it's well worth it for the opening track alone!

Of all the genres within electronic music, trance probably gets the worst rap. The music is guilty by association with the hippies that worship it with a religious-like fervor. And if executed poorly, its dramatic crescendos sound like pretentious, pompous pap. But a good trance DJ can save a string of the genre's records from falling down the drain of all-too-common gargantuan breakdowns and endless wind-ups. Paul Oakenfold might be the DJ to rescue trance from itself; Tranceport features a veritable who's who of trance records and producers--Sasha's remix of Gus Gus's "Purple," a few tracks from seminal trance producer Paul van Dyk, and the driving, impenetrable "Enervate" by Transa. Oakenfold's mixing is impeccably suited to trance: long, drawn-out bleeds of sound seep from one transcendent track to the next. --Tricia Romano

Electronica Genres 101.......2007-06-27

Still confused about what is considered trance versus house versus techno music? What about the difference between trance and progressive trance? Have a listen to the suitably named album, Tranceport. Unaltered trance in its purest form mixed by (argueably) the genre's most infamous DJ, Paul Oakenfold.

Not a favorite genre of mine, but beloved by many others. I don't mind trance that is mixed into an eclectic set or presented with a little more contrast than what is offered on this album. The first volume of Northern Exposure by Sasha & John Digweed (released the same year) is the kind of dreamy trance that I enjoy. The trance tracks featured on Transport are very old sounding. A steady organ-tone throughout, cresendo drum rolls and a very cheesy narrative track about being spiritually connected with Earth ("Gamemaster" by Lost Tribe) to top it all off.

A timeless classic for some. Electronica's equivalent to Rock's 1980's for me.

2/5 stars.

Oakie's best.......2007-06-22

God, I'd do anything to hear this mix for the first time again. This was the album that started it all for me as far as dance music goes. I've always loved the opening and closing tracks, they're so awesome. Very good track selection throughout though. "A voyage into trance" is another very good p. o. mix. I like it's darker, edgier tone alot. I've become more of a Sasha fan and I hate Oakenfold's new stuff, but "tranceport" always be special.

Oakenfold at his BEST.......2007-06-11

First of all, not only would I say that this is one of the best trance mixes ever, but in my view, one of the best collections of music period.
This is Oakenfold at his best. A far cry from what he has become, but nonetheless, an unbelievable mix.
His mixing and track selection are FLAWLESS and the overall tone of the mix is soothing, pounding, and uplifting all at once.
A MUST own for any fan of dance music. Highly recommended.

Trance masterpiece.......2007-05-24

There's nothing else I can add that's already been said in these reviews. This is a life changing mix if you're listening to it for the first time. If you're at all a trance music fan, this mix must be in your collection. There's no excuse for not having it.

Still Amazing.......2007-04-02

I cannot believe that it was almost 10 years ago that this album came out and it still holds up as the cornerstone of trance music. Say what you like about Oakenfold as a DJ, but the man knows how to put together an incredible set of music. Any fan of techno, electronic, or trance music needs to have this album in their collection. Each song could be a pinnacle song on another set, but all together they form one of the greatest sets known to modern music.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

The Producers was the vehicle that first proclaimed Mel Brooks's decidedly singular comic vision as a film director in 1968. At the time, the world may not have been entirely ready for the depth charges of hilarity he unleashed; but more than three decades later, it seemed almost foreordained that the film's retooling as a full-fledged musical--directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman--would become the smash hit of the 2000-2001 Broadway season (even before opening at the St. James Theatre in April). Brooks is, of course, no stranger to the Broadway musical genre or to songwriting, but skeptics might find themselves taken by surprise at just how outrageously well all the threads come together for the new show.

The film's absurd core vignette--the infamous "Springtime for Hitler"--if anything gains a few notches in hilarity when framed by a character-rich musical that comes off as both parody and valentine in its mimicry of Broadway's "golden age." Brooks (with the help of idiomatically expert arrangements by Glen Kelly) has cooked up a variety of numbers constituting a virtual primer of old-fashioned American musical comedy styles (there's even a toying with Cabaret-style decadence), but they're always coated with an extra layer of zaniness. In fact, the whole show becomes a Chinese box of parodies within parodies. But what really gets the whole mix working is a surefire cast headed by Nathan Lane playing Max Bialystock and Matthew Broderick doing a delightfully nebbish turn with delusions of misplaced glory as his sidekick, Leo Bloom.

From his first big number (musically winking at Fiddler on the Roof), Lane hungrily lays claim to the role, undaunted by his formidable predecessor, Zero Mostel. Even on disc, you can visualize his over-the-top mugging as a dethroned "king of Broadway" who was "the first producer ever to do summer stock in the winter." Comedy, as they say, is all about timing, and that's exactly what Lane gets right. His interactions with Bloom, Franz Liebkind (Brad Oscar), and Roger de Bris (Gary Beach) are priceless, even when only in sound. As for the tunes, Brooks crafts a number of truly memorable ones--don't be surprised to find yourself horrified as you hum along with "Der Guten Tag Hop-Clop" and, of course, "Springtime for Hitler." --Thomas May

This recording is great! I saw the play in november and loved the music. I bought the CD a little later and i am still listing to it. The cast are all great singers and did a great job. The songs are witty and catchy and never get old. You should listin to this.(Warning:See the movie or the play before you listin to this, you might hate it if you've have not.)

Spring Time for "The Producers".......2005-12-13

While I'll abmit that Nazi regemes and Hitler are probably some of the least funny thing in the world...i have to admit that the words to Springtime for Hitler are hilarious, just like the rest of the songs on this cast recording.

While "The Producers" Is not as musically complex or mature as other "Best Musical" scores of recent years (Spamalot, Avenue Q, Hairspray,) It is funnier than all of those put together. Nathan lane And Matthew Broderick Are perfectly cast in their roles and Caddy Hoffman is great, and when Ulla belt, she Belts!
the rest of the cast is amazing.

As for the song I can't think of one that I don't like, They are all great!

I would hope that the fact that the show makes light of Hitler doesn't turn you off, because you would be missing somthing great.

Mel Brooks = Brilliant.......2005-12-12

My theatre group went to New York two years ago, adn we did a marathon 4 shows in 3 days. Each show got progressively better, finally culminating in seeing Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick's final performance of "The Producers." I have been a fan of Brooks' since I saw "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" 5 years ago. Naturally, I was beyond excited to see the show he made of his most brilliant film.

I was not disappointed. It was funny, racy, and downright fabulous. I bought the soundtrack at intermission and have been listening to it ever since. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves musicals. Lane and Broderick play off each other perfectly, Cady Huffman has one of the best belting voices I've heard in ages, and the songs are actually FUNNY.

Aside from raving about one of my favorite shows, I would like to address the comments made about the show downplaying Hitler and being racist towards Germans. In no way does this show downplay Hitler's terrible deeds. Bialystock and Bloom make several comments about how disgusted they are about the play- the fact that it is so insulting to our sensibilities is the reason why it was chosen in the first place. I am Jewish and have studied the Holocaust and WWII for years. I was not offended in the least, nor did I feel the Brooks was promoting or trivializing Hitler's war crimes. Brooks himself is Jewish for god's sake.

Second, I see nothing in the show that is racist towards Germans. Yes there is a Nazi in it who is German. How is that racist? The Nazis went all over the world after WWII- it is possible that several ended up in New York City. And no one will argue that some Nazi's were German. You might as well say that the show is discriminatory towards Swedes, or gay directors, or producers, or the countless number of things made fun of in the show.

it won 11 (if im correct) TONY awards for a reason!.......2005-12-08

This is by far the funniest thing I have ever seen. I got the chance to see it on broadway with Lane (unfortunatly not Broderick) and most of the original cast. For some reason, certain people seem to think this play is racist. First off, the whole thing is pure 100% SATIRE. I'm 15 and I can realize that. Also, are you aware that Mel Brooks is jewish? Yeah, so lighten up. I realize what Hitler did, and it will never be forgotten. But my God, get a sense of humor. In case you never saw the play, the Bavarian guy breaks his leg (making "It's bad luck to say good luck on opening night funny) and is replaced by the gay director for the song "Springtime for Hitler". ITS HILARIOUS! BROOKS MADE HITLER A GAY GUY! And why do you think he did that? Geeze... just lighten up!

So about the CD...awesome. I love these songs, and I am very much looking forward to seeing the movie version of the musical coming out in late December! GO SEE IT!

My uncle loved it.......2007-05-14

A very accessible record that my uncle, an avid Chet Atkins fan, loved when he recieved it as a "new car" present (bye-bye cassette tapes).

Smooth, smooth and sweet.......2006-11-10

This is a fine collection of Chet's work. With a little help from Dolly Parton, Les Paul and Jerry Reed. Chet rated himself worlds 5th best guitar player. After hearing this CD you'll shake your head and wonder, "who could have done better?"

The Eddie Van Halen of His Day...and Today.......2004-10-06

If you're not familiar with Chet Atkins, this disc, more than any other compilation, is the best place to start. It's a superb collection of Chet's "Golden Era" recordings that never gets bogged down with inaccessible pieces or repetition. You'll hear exactly why this man came to define the idea of what a "guitar player" was in the 50's and 60's. Phenomenal playing that sounds so effortless and simple that when you listen closely to what the man is doing, you'll swear to yourself it's more than just Chet making all that music.
Listening to this disc, there is little doubt that Chet was the Eddie Van Halen of his day. Of course there were other masters who were active at the time and Chet wasn't the only one playing in this style; there was Merle Travis. But not even the latter virtuoso played with the finesse that Atkins did. Chet played with more grace than anyone. Heck, even Django didn't play Djangoesque arpeggios as smooth as Chet. His technique was as fluid as flowing water, unrivaled, even today.
Keeping Chet's prowess as a player in mind, it becomes all the more incredible how his immense technical proficiency could coexist with complete accessibility. These two things are usually mutually exclusive with instrumentalists, but not here. This is a record that you can listen to front to back with no sags, lulls, dull spots or self-indulgence. It is superbly compiled and the disc never ventures into the realm of "for guitarists only." Although, if you're into that sort of thing, it's in here; it's just not right up front. And, for me, that's what makes Chet's talent so unique. He somehow
managed to make baffling technical mastery palatable to everybody. In Chet's world, the song comes first, which means the picking never gets in the way. He's not a showoff; the technique is there, but it's often hidden in the melodies, so you have to to do a little work to uncover it. That's why, although this is some very complicated stuff, you can still tap your foot to it. Brilliant.
All the songs on this disc are great and there are no throwaways or fillers. In particular, the duet with Dolly Parton, "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind" is out of this world. I don't know how much the two of them recorded together, but RCA would be wise to issue all of it, as soon as possible. The love between these two musicians literally jumps out of the speakers and you can't help but to be seduced by their interplay. They sound like they're having a ball and it's really something.
This disc is perfect. Although I own plenty other Chet Atkins cd's I find that this one makes it's way into the player most often. If you like it what you hear on this disc and want more, try the double cd "Guitar Legend." There will be some repeats, but that disc is essentially a more thorough version of this one and there's enough difference that the overlap isn't an issue. Or if you're looking to jump into the "deep catalog," try "Guitar Country/More of That Guitar Country." You can't go wrong either way.

Sweet Collection of Famous Work.......2003-04-17

As a thumbpicker of guitar, I really enjoy this album. The amazing guitar speed and clarity shown in "Main Street Breakdown" and "Cascade" are great examples. This album collects a nice balance of sweet sounding music and guitar playing across a range of years from which they were recorded.

The one and only.......2003-02-18

I have several CHet Atkins albums, as I am a guitarist with eclectic tastes and love his style. If I were to own only one Chet Atkins album this would probably be the one. It showcases his wide range of style and virtusity from black mountain rag to the charming ballad duet with Dolly Parton to yakety axe. Its fun, it moves along, there are a wide variety of selections and it is well engineered. In a day when fewer people know about Chet this a a great way to understand how this man came to influence an entire music industry and style, was able to do so by his instrumnetal virtuosity, yet appealed to everyman. Buy it youll love it.

I'm Still Searching..........2007-06-11

I'm not going to elaborate very much on this purchase. I thought it was below par. The only mix I cared for was BT's "Mercury & Solace", which I already have. The rest of the CD was fair--nothing earthshaking as far as I'm concerned.

ISOS - So good.......2007-03-19

I now own all 5 in the ISOS saga, volume one being the last I acquired. It fits right in with the rest as far as quality Tiesto mixes.

Oldies but Gooooodies!!.......2006-07-06

Great stuff! Never gets old or tired. I listen to it over and over again, appreciating new things each time!

The best ISOS album!.......2006-03-02

Woot!
This album is great. For those that heard this and know anything about skills in mixing and in making a good mix knows that this should be on your hall of fame.

I don't like my music with vocals when I listen to trance.
I like my trance with great beats (Tranceport, Voyage Into Trance)

So I consider trance with vocals "gay music" cause mostly those female vocals be killing the originality of trance.

But this is just great, even though a lot of female vocals are here, I still love this. He also does a good job on switching from trance-only to trance-vocals.

All these songs easily can get a 5 out of 5 or up(except for the one of Calling Your Name).

YOU REALLY WILL BE LEFT IN SEARCH OF SUNRISE after this album ends. I like listening to this album when the sun rises and/or sets.

With a great blend of vocals and trance maybe people that listen to (pop, dance, and R&B) will want to listen to some actual trance.

Verdict: 7.5 out of 5.0 Its sooo good you need to get its A LOT better than the other 3 ISOS he has made. He really changed the way of my thoughts about "gay music". Well this is simply a must get!! What The Hell(WTH) you doing reading this review! Go buy it in stores! NOW!

P.S. This is still consider "gay music" to me but I really love it.

Classic Masterpiece.......2006-01-22

Although years have passed since the release of this work of art, this compilation along with the other ISOS series continue to dominate and define the utter best of the trance genre.

The genious in tiesto's music lies in the way it is layered and in the progression. If one is to listen carefully, it is noticable how the music follows a consistent up down up down approach. This kind of stucture is unique in that it takes the listener through musical highs and lows in such a way that it is completely hypnotic.

There have been many times where i would be dead focused on his music forgetting about the outside world. Yes its that good. Tiestos work is actually so good, that people are able to listen to his cds over and over and never get bored of them since the more you listen to them, the more you hear things you did not hear the previous time. I have already listened to all of the ISOS and magik series over 10 times each and its still not played out.

So far only Armin Van Buuren has been able to come close to the perfection that tiesto has achieved. If only tiesto's newer work posessed such beauty.

My personal favorite tracks are:
Honey

I'm rating the physical single........2007-07-11

Now, of course I love the song "Get Me Bodied." When I heard that it would be the next single from the amazing album, B'Day, I was very happy. I know that I, along with many other Beyonce fans, believed that this should've been the first single. The layered harmonies over the hard, hip hop beat is quite a combination and it's just energetic and different. Its infectious nature comes from its simplicity; I never grow tired of it. (And trust me... I've played it. A lot!)

But the CD single leaves a lot to be desired. While I am overjoyed that Beyonce is still releasing physical singles in a music industry where the format has become almost extinct, there is really no reason to buy this. It includes two tracks: the radio edit and the extended mix. No b-sides, no special remixes, sadly. The radio edit is four minutes long and it has the part at the end where she calls out the different dances (uh-oh, old school, etc.) However, some are left out/shortened and and it sounds very jumbled and choppy. It would've been nice if the editing was done well. The extended mix was already on both editions of B'Day... so nothing new. The cover of the single is very nice. Beyonce is looking beautiful as always, and it's a picture that I hadn't seen before. So that was nice.

So, in conclusion, if you're a Beyonce/Destiny's Child collector like myself, then this will probably be a nice addition to your collection. If you're not a hardcore fan and already own B'Day, then this isn't necessary.

DO THE OOH OOH! .......2007-07-10

I was worried to know which song would be the final US single from BDAY...
outside the US will be receiving GREEN LIGHT as the final single from the album... but the US has the BEST DAMN TRACK off the album which is of course the marvelous GET ME BODIED!
THIS IS BEYONCE AT HER BEST...
GREAT VIDEO
STYLISH
JUST GREAT!

brilliant dance track... Swizz Beatz finest!.......2007-07-10

What more can i say about Beyonce... she is everywhere and there is no escaping. So im just going to get to the point...

'Get Me Bodied' IS my favourite track on the B'DAY album and my favourite track Beyonce has ever recorded. Swizz Beatz is just poppin up on tracks like nothing. he is definatley makin a huge mark in '07. the production on this track is just bananas! the harmonies with the hard bass going off and the hand claps just goes together like sugar and kool-aid. then when you think the song is over she has a string of different dances towards the end that i can picture everyone doing in the club.

definatley one of the best party tracks of the past year and i believe she will have another hit single.

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

I think Tiesto hit the hammer on the nail with this one. I always find a few things to critique with his other ISOS, especially his latest (ISOS 5). But with ISOS 2, Tiesto got the formula just right. Of course, nowadays he doesn't mix music like this anymore. This is classic Tiesto trance--- and excellent trance at that. The song selection is impeccably well-placed and I think this ISOS does the best job at capturing the Summer-Ibiza feel Tiesto may have intended.

After several years of listening to this CD, it still sounds as fresh as it did the day I first purchased it. Tracks like TastExperience, Summerbreeze, Eugina, and Delirio just fit so well into what I believe is his best effort in the ISOS series.

More Great Coding Music.......2007-01-07

I am rapidly accumulating the complete works of DJ Tiësto. It is perfect trance-out music for those long programming sessions.

The Successor To The Greatest Trance Mix Of All Time.......2006-06-16

In Search Of Sunrise is the greatest trance compilation ever made. It is the eternal representation of great trance. Having said that, I can now review In Search Of Sunrise 2.

The album art is awesome. The movie poster concept is clever. Tiësto has a great marketing team.

As for the mix, I've found that it helps to divide DJ Tiësto's compilations into movements, because I'm sure he does. Some songs aren't meant to take you over the top. Some are. Some songs work together to build tension for a powerful, explosive song approaching. Some songs are powerful and explosive. Tiësto knows how to use different types of trance songs to create a mix that is HIS. He is a master at this.

The first movement is fantastic. It begins ethereal and dreamy, and through the first three tracks there is a brooding feeling.

Tastexperience by Tantrix is an excellent introduction to the mix. It represents the style and mood of the In Search Of Sunrise (ISOS) series. It has the island feel Tiësto is revered for. As it fades out and LN Movement's Golden Desert (Part 2) is revealed explosively, feelings of nostalgia for the first ISOS are evoked. At this point I am impressed. This is what I expect after the first ISOS. This is a summer mix. Once Kamaya Painter's Summerbreeze comes on, it's obvious that the first two tracks are only a build. Summerbreeze is beautiful. I have to give it up for Kamaya Painters on this track, which means I am actually praising Tiësto and Benno De Goeij, who together ARE Kamaya Painters. The melodies here are precisely what make great trance. The build, the clashes, the keys... this is the trance that I love. So far, the mixing is flawless. At the end of the first movement, the mix seems to transform from trance to house. Vocals are introduced. Rui Da Silva's Touch Me is a good track with a melody that allows it to mix well with this compilation, but it's not a great song. The vocals and lyrics are mediocre. I expect only the best from the ISOS series. This is good, but not Tiësto good. I did, however, smile when thinking about the song placement in comparison to the first ISOS; this song is similar to Billie Ray Martin's Honey, which is track three on that mix. Anyway, Touch Me made me skeptical. The mix seems to be going somewhere, then Tiësto takes a detour with Touch Me. Why? I don't know

As touch me ends the mixing gets heavy and dramatic I realize I'm being swept into the second movement. The Michael Woods mix of Eugina by Salt Tank scraps the previous song and takes the mix right back to where it belongs. This is amazing trance song! Echoing snares, soaring vocals, the ebb and flow of dense subterranean techno melodies... YES! I'd like to shake Michael Woods' hand. The mix into Cass & Slide's Perception is heavy like the last mix, and I dig the style. Tiësto cautiously mixed the songs through the first movement, but in the second movement he takes over and charges ahead boldly. Perception comes in, hits a break, and the game continues. You have to love the robotic sounds on this track. The bass line on this track is deep, even for trance. The song tricks you... you think it's going one way, then another break comes and in the vocals drop. Wow. Here is another beautiful vocal trance song. "Search and you will find the answer... if you look deep inside of your mind... you can see forever... rise up together." Now that is dance floor ecstasy. Perception ends almost abruptly and in drops Mekka's Diamondback. The vocal trance delight continues. This song is insane. Take a drive on a country road and listen to this song as loud as you can for an amazing experience. Lucid's mix of BT's Dreaming comes on next and the texture of the mix is changed again. The sound effects here are awesome. The ticking clock, the panning, the creaking doors, the chimes: I love this song. Tiësto knows how to compile great vocal trance songs like no other. With this song the second movement is ending...

And with the Venus Mix of Baracoa's Delirio the third movement blooms. This song... man... this song gives me goosebumps. The build is like no other. This is deep trance. This is a classic. Songs like this are what give the ISOS series it's enigmatic quality. You might as well just burn the house down for this one. The vocals are intoxicating. Delirio takes me away. At this point I'm sold on the mix. The next track is a remix of Fortress's An Angel Saved My Life. The sounds here remind me of Paul Oakenfold's Tranceport. The trance here is hard, heavy, and dense. It's good, but it's one of my least favorite tracks on the album. It gets serious quick, but there is no distinct build. It does however, mix superbly with the Marc O' Tool Remix of Ballroom's 4 AM, which I think is the reason why Tiësto used it. Ballroom is a cool song, but it doesn't have the power of the previous songs on the mix. It does have a unique style that makes this ISOS mix even more eclectic. As Coast 2 Coast's Home comes on, I understand the purpose of the previous two tracks. Tiësto was building. This is why I like to group his mixes into movements. Home is another great track because of its uplifting melody and its quick build to an all-business breakdown.

The business continues right into Slacker's Kingdom Come Mix of Breeder's Tyrantanic without a breath of air to relax. Then... BOOM! The beat drops and there is silence. The fourth and final movement is crowded, dense, heavy, busy, and every other adjective you can think of that is opposite of free and airy. Tiësto ends his mix with pure progressive trance. The builds aren't epic and sudden. They're constant and relentless. The beat just keeps going. The breaks don't even feel like breaks. The vocals are gone. This all describes Max Graham's Airtight, and the title fits perfectly. Tiësto suffocates you in the last movement. I just know that I can't stop bobbing my head. The song takes you higher and higher and higher and higher... then proceeds to the most elaborate breakdown of the entire mix. It doesn't send you away in the ecstatic build-explode-jump off way that trance typically does. It doesn't make you feel like you just got off like never before. It doesn't take you away with heavenly vocals and melodies.

It leaves you in a trance.

DJ Tiësto has done it again. He has left me In Search Of Sunrise.

The best of In Search of a Sunrise series.......2006-05-01

I think this album is the best in Tiesto's In Search of a Sunrise series. Just beautiful trance music from the first track till the last.

Please note that this album is different from Tiesto's live sets and his other "hands in the air trance" compilations. ISOS 2 is a lot more mellow(though does get harder towards the end), and is much better suited as background music for your pre and after-party sessions.

Overall, a really awesome compilation.
