Among the legions of rockers who died way too young--including Jeff Buckley's father, Tim--few have approached the artistic range and seemingly limitless potential on display here. In the decade since Buckley's death, there has been such a flood of posthumous releases that it might be hard to remember that he issued only a four-cut live EP and a studio debut album while he was alive. This anthology serves as an effective introduction for the initiate, showing how Buckley could rock with the slash-and-burn intensity of Led Zeppelin on "Eternal Life (Road Version)," turn rapturous with the reverie of "Lover, You Should've Come Ove," and cover the likes of Edith Piaf ("Je N'en Connais Pas La Fin") and Leonard Cohen (his by now iconic transformation of "Hallelujah"). Completists will need this for the live versions of "So Real" and the Smiths' "I Know It's Over," previously unreleased commercially. Whether Buckley would ever have been able to balance the control that mature artistry requires and the ecstatic abandon that distinguished him, such raw talent continues to startle. --Don McLeese

The Best Buckley Compilation .......2007-07-29

I have to admit that I'm at a bit of a loss to explain why Buckley fans wouldn't like this album.

So Real is essentially the best songs from Grace, plus a few of Buckley's best songs that never made it to a full studio album.

Its basically Grace plus a few extras, which to me is great! If you don't currently own any Buckley albums, this one's got you covered! Why buy Grace when you can get it all PLUS great songs like "Everybody Here Wants You" and "Je n'en connais pas la fin".

Jeff Buckley was so Awesome........2007-07-20

This latest issue of some of Jeff Buckley's best selections is a must have for fans. Included are some good Buckley standards -- like Hallelujah -- but also included is a live cover of Eternal Life and a moving rendition of one of Morrissey's (The Smiths) tear jerkers, I know it's Over.

Given that Jeff was tragically lost to the world almost 10 years ago, it is sadly gratifying to have the full range of his recordings so that we can at least celebrate his talent and remember him very fondly.

THE BEST INTRODUCTION TO A GIFTED BUT CHALLENGING ARTIST.......2007-06-01

One of the best things about reviewing music is that it compels the writer to listen hard and fair to everything that comes out of a speaker. If you attempt to write something based solely on your own preconceptions, then a) you aren't listening, and b) you are not qualified to inflict others with your words. Jeff Buckley was the type of artist that I knew had special qualities, but there were elements of his presentation that held me at arm's length. He singing range was extraordinary, but his dramatic tendencies often overwhelmed me. Sometimes, I even found myself recoiling as he floated freely in the ether, conveying a part of his spirit that eluded me entirely. Until I understood this aspect of his art, I knew I was unqualified to review his music, but "So Real: Songs from Jeff Buckley" has taught me how to listen.
The problem I had with most all previous product by Buckley - and I've heard most of them -is that they presumed you to understand Buckley's genius. "Live at Sin-e" "and "Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk" both overwhelmed me, for very different reasons. "...Sin-e" is concise, but it puts Buckley on display as a performer, and left me wondering if he was emotionally attached to the songs, or simply in love with the sound of his own voice. "...Drunk" was an embarrassment of riches, with way too much material for me to digest, especially since most of it was left unfinished in the wake of Buckley's untimely death. Only "Grace" conveyed a full picture of the man as a fully developed artist, and even that record demanded that you understand and accept his strange welding of Van Morrison's spirit with Robert Plant's histrionics.
"So Real" is by far the best place for a person to discover the beauty of Buckley's music. By culling the best bits of his recorded output and distributing them intelligently over one exceptional disk, it serves as a roadmap into the soul of an extremely gifted performer. Parts of this collection are merely brilliant; other parts are revelatory. The "Grace" selections sound every bit as good today as they did back in '94, while songs like "Forget Her" and "Eternal Life" (both from posthumous releases) are frighteningly intense and emotionally stunning. For reasons similar to those I mentioned at the beginning of this review, I recently indulged myself in the music of Leonard Cohen and I now find myself with a respect for his artistry that borders on awe. Re-hearing Buckley's version of Cohen's "Hallelujah" makes it obvious that this is a definitive performance, as if sung by a fallen angel who embraces the sanctity of this mortal coil. There are still moments of excess, but instead of histrionics, I now hear an artist utilizing every ounce of his ability to convey something that is spiritual and ethereal, but also `so real'. I know I waited too long to truly hear the elegance and raw emotion in Jeff Buckley's music. I hope you don't make the same mistake. A- Tom Ryan

Excellent CD for new and old J Buckley fans!!.......2007-05-29

This CD proves again that Jeff Buckley is the greatest musician that has ever recorded music. Not only does this CD give its reader an excellent mixture of some his best tunes but also adds two unreleased songs that are truly rare and excellent in choice. His version of "I Know It's Over" can send chills down anyone's spine and will make you stop and listen to each word. You will find yourself playing this song over and over, realizing what a beautiful voice he had and how he could take any song and make it his own. If you are new to Jeff Buckley and are wondering if this CD is a good choice, it does a wonderful job of introducing you to a rare talent that has yet to be mastered from anyone else in the music industry. And if you are new, after this CD, you will definitely become a Jeff Buckley fan. To the already Jeff Buckley fan, I highly recommend it and believe me, it is NOT a waste of money - it is worth every penny and more!

So Real Quite a Gem.......2007-05-27

It has been said this CD is especially good for newbies discovering Jeff Buckley's music. That would include me, as I only discovered Buckley and his music a few months ago. I heard my first Buckley song 'Hallelujah' on a TV show, since then I have bought everything I could get my hands on that Buckley recorded. For those of you who think, it is just the same old thing, don't buy it, but thank goodness his music is still being put out there for all of us like me who have only just discovered Jeff Buckley. I thank his mom and Sony for continuing their hard work to get his music to the public. I counted the days waiting for this CD to be released. It is just as wonderful as I hoped it would be. SO REAL is worth every penny and more, especially for 'I KNOW IT'S OVER'. That song is quite a gem.

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Amazon.com

This Ron Howard film parlays the troubled story of Nobel laureate John Forbes Nash Jr., a gifted Princeton mathematics professor tormented for decades by paranoid schizophrenia, into something considerably richer than typical Hollywood triumph-against-all-odds fare. Howard has teamed here again with frequent collaborator James Horner, and it's the composer who deftly shades the film's difficult emotional landscape and helps impart a compelling humanity. Horner's first task is not inconsiderable: musically portraying the arcane realm of mathematical theorems that are the story's backdrop. In doing so, the composer leans heavily on modern minimalist technique, bright flourishes that recur briefly throughout an orchestral score that increasingly reflects Nash's bleak inner landscape in its quietly somber and brooding tones. And while Horner has frequently been accused of excessively repeating himself in his scores, the neo-minimalist gambit employed on this reflectively pastoral, postmodernist soundscape neatly nips such criticism in the bud. Nash's triumph is ultimately an intensely personal one, well reflected in Welsh soprano Charlotte Church's lilting performance of the Horner/Will Jennings ballad "All Love Can Be." This enhanced CD also features notes by the director and composer, as well as exclusive photos and the film's trailer. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Haven't I heard this before?.......2007-06-20

As other reviewers will tell you yes this is another Horner machine made soundtrack. But it still sounds good! If you are a Horner fan by all means buy it otherwise "at your own risk"!

And another thing that gets me is no one even bothered to mention "Alicia Discovers Nash's Dark World" I happened to like this one this is the song that plays when he is in the hospital.

a beautiful score.......2007-02-09

James Horner's soundtrack for A BEAUTIFUL MIND is as psychologically intense as the film it so effectively embellishes.

Charlotte Church provides an appropriately eerie and largely non-verbal soprano to this remarkable motion picture score, yet one that would seem only quirky were it not so beautifully embedded in a musical stream that draws one inexorably and almost vicariously into the emotional turbulence of the Princeton mathematician John Nash.

There is an angelic nature to the shape and texture of this music, one that is able to turn demonic as the story line requires. Both by brilliance and by dementia, Nash seems the object of external forces, rising with supreme heroism (at least in the film's version of events) to conquer. The music is there at each score, coaxing the viewer into empathic solidarity with this deeply troubled man and his long-suffering and preternaturally beautiful wife.

This is mood music of the deeply engaging variety. Its lush tonal landscape is achieved under the baton of the composer himself. The score's vast range of volume and expression would certainly have made it a joy to watch in performance.

Alas, we don't have that.

But we have this.

An ethereal, compelling, even gripping tone poem. Buy it.

A Beautiful Mind.......2006-08-09

Absolutely gorgeous - my husband keeps it in his car and listens to it whenever he's driving.

Haunting, lovely, majestic.......2006-04-04

The sound track for "A Beautiful Mind" stayed with me long after the movie. The CD has all the themes that made the movie so emotionally powerfull. James Horner, composer and conductor, perfectly matches the excitement of genius and the terror of mental disability. Charlotte Church's clear and gentle voice compliments the music and used instrumentally creates a haunting refrain. I loved the movie and this music is wonderful.

Dark.......2006-02-20

This is one of the darkest and most emotional soundtrack, and yet it is filled with more inspiring songs.
Best soundtrack ive ever heard.

In the market for a single album consolidating most of the selling points of mainstream female teen- and dance-pop of the past few years? Try Mandy Moore's So Real. Various cuts here demonstrate her (and her writing and production teams') mastery of the styles of Britney Spears, the Spice Girls, Janet Jackson, and early Madonna. While projecting a playful sultriness much like that of Spears, the younger Moore takes pains to keep things chaste: not only does she promote "trust" on "What You Want," she rhymes it with "crush," not "lust." Complete with a hook that defies interpretation ("I'm missin' you like candy") on the breakthrough single "Candy," and a can't-miss Janet-style ballad in "Walk Me Home," So Real adds a welcome note of CD-length consistency to the current girl-pop formula. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Drivel.......2006-12-04

By Mandy Moore's own admission, this was a poor album. A few of the singles are catchy, so save your money and buy them instead of the entire album.

LOVE this cd!.......2006-03-24

I got this cd when I was in the 7th grade (I am now a freshman in college) and I still listen to it so that alone says how great it is.


1. So Real--Great way to start of the cd,upbeat and fresh! 5/5

2. Candy-- a lil played out but a hit!Best part is when she talks during the bridge! 4/5

3. What You Want---A lil corny but catchy! 2/5

4. Walk Me Home---Sweet ballad! Love it! 5/5

5. Lock Me In Your Heart---Sweet mid-tempo. 4/5

6. Telephone (Interlude)
7. Quit Breaking My Heart---Love this one, esp. in the chorus when she says "Its tearing us apart-art" 7/5

8. Let Me Be The One---Upbeat and fun. Love this! 5/5

9. Not Too Young---Mandy has so much attitude in this one! Love it! 5/5

10. Love Shot---Prolly my fave on the album! 10/5

11. I Like It---Lyrics are a lil confusing but I like it a lot! 4.5/5

12. Love You For Always--Not the best 1/5

13. Quit Breaking My Heart (Reprise)--You get to hear Mandys voice real nicely here. Only the chorus here but still great 5/5

Any pop fan will appreciate this.

This Album is So Real!.......2005-12-12

Mandy Moore's debut album at just 15 years old is a fresh start for a young singer like her to pop onto the music scene with a clean image that's not too racy or too childish. It's the perfect mix of teen pop that the pop music scene needs at its time being with the sound of Mandy's first single, "Candy", which was a big hit when it first hit the air waves of radio and TV. The follow-up single, "Walk Me Home", is a sweet and yet, romantic teen love sound that almost everyone can relate to in a song like that. "So Real", which is probably the third single, is one of the songs that just makes you want to get up and dance with its sweet pop sound. This isn't a bad project for Mandy to have started out on as a young adult at the tender age of 15 with a mature side of pop music with this debut album that makes her voice ring true to how this album should sound like at its time, and from this album on, Mandy's on a roll to becoming one of the future's most hottest female singers around, alongside Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.

Good first album from Mandy Moore.......2005-07-16

I just happen to be the 426th reviewer of this album, but I still remember Mandy Moore's first effort, So Real. I liked it for Candy, but there were a lot of surprises within this album. It's a fun album of uptempo dance numbers, such as the opening three songs of So Real, the sweet but catchy hit Candy and What You Want. But I liked her ballad, Walk You Home, which has that early 70s feel to it, something that Carole King might have done herself in her Tapestry era. Walk may have set the tone for her second album, which had richer, well done songs, and the remake-heavy Coverage album. Although Mandy doesn't like to talk about her first album as much, this was a good start for her. The drawback of this effort is that the dance numbers try to hard to sound like Britney Spears' songs from her Baby One More Time album. But Mandy brings some attitude to this collection to separate her from her rival competitor. Vocally, she has a nice voice to match with the songs' upbeat vibes.

Mandy Moore's Debut Album!! 1999-2000.......2005-05-12

I remember this album when I was in the 7th grade. I fell in love with this album instantly.I kept playing it over and over.
Mandy Moore was 15 years old when she made this album. Her debut album is overproduced. I had always dreamt of owning this album and every time I look at this cover, it makes me want to buy this album. This album is not a Britney Spears replica.
This album reflects the diversity of her taste from the plaintive ballad "Quit Breaking My Heart" to the alluring "What You Want" to "So Real"which she describes having a rock edge. This album has been certified Platinum. Remember,this was 1999-2000.

Irresistible.......2005-07-29

From beginning to end this CD is pure delight. A great recording has great music, a great performance, and great sound; this one scores on all three counts.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's musicals dominated Broadway in the 1940s and 1950s, and American musical theater has produced no more consistently eloquent and durable voice than Richard Rodgers. From his fertile genius flowed a surprising number of memorable songs, many of which have passed into and become an accepted and beloved part of modern American culture.

This well-filled CD (77:36) features symphonic arrangements (all but two by Robert Russell Bennett) of the music from Oklahoma (1943), Carousel (1945), State Fair (1945), South Pacific (1949), The King and I (1951), Flower Drum Song (1958), and The Sound of Music (1959). All the great tunes are here in suites from each musical that average 10-12 minutes in length. The arrangements are expert: rich, varied, and colorful. The performances are polished, idiomatic, and irresistible; Kunzel and this orchestra are thorough masters of this kind of material. And Telarc's sound (recorded 1991) is state-of-the-art (engineer Michael Bishop deserves to take a bow).

In short, there's nothing here to cloud your listening pleasure (the only quibble I can imagine is that some of your favorites may not last long enough), so it's hard for me to envision anyone with ears and a taste for music who wouldn't enjoy this CD. Warmly recommended. Finally, if you like this one as much as I do, you might want to know that the same team has produced a companion volume, the Lerner & Lowe Songbook for Orchestra.

"Some Enchanted Evening" with Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops.......2003-12-26

Erich Kunzel's Rodgers and Hammerstein anthology with the Cincinatti Pops Orchestra is one of the best and most ravishing instrumental Rodgers and Hammerstein albums of all time. With sumptuous arrangements and warm, natural Telarc recording, this glorious 77-minute CD presents sweeping, melodic arrangements of over 60 Rodgers and Hammerstein selections, spanning eight scores, and Kunzel allows the Pops to play with a characterful and polished understanding of the Rodgers and Hammerstein idiom. The disc is enough to cheer you up on a dull day and make you smile, and it might even want to make you feel like a convert to Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals.

This CD has all the scores arranged chronologically. The OKLAHOMA! suite that opens this disc promises a feast for the senses, Kunzel ably evokes the territory's "bright, golden haze" in the way he conducts the various excerpts, until you feel the atmosphere of the country charm of the show, and the love-affair between Curly and Laurey. Then, in CAROUSEL, he ably evokes the pathos of this tragic R&H masterwork, especially in the truncated Waltz, but he leads a wonderfully melodic "June is Bustin' Out All Over" and a devotional "You'll Never Walk Alone." Although this suite does not include Billy's pivotal Soliloquy, it includes "If I Loved You" as an expression of his love for Julie, and within minutes you could be soaked in the ups and downs of the show's mood.

After a brief STATE FAIR suite, with sweeping renditions of "It Might As Well Be Spring" and "It's a Grand Night for Singing", we are brought into the disc's showstopping highlights. These highlights are the excerpts from SOUTH PACIFIC, THE KING AND I, and THE SOUND OF MUSIC. But yet Kunzel conducts the rest of the disc until the various suites amount to a series of showstoppers. These three suites present wonderfully-arranged versions of their many familiar classic songs, with well-played solos. The SOUTH PACIFIC suite presents the songs in chronological order, yet preserves the atmosphere of the show at the same time. Kunzel ably brings out the romance in "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Younger than Springtime," and contrasts it with the exotic and dreamlike "Bali Hai'i" and the comic "There is Nothing like a Dame" and "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair". Although the suite ends quietly with a reprise of "Dites-Moi" rather than the reprise of "Some Enchanted Evening," within minutes we are swept into the KING AND I suite. Kunzel ably brings out the Oriental pathos in this score, and he captures the warmth of Anna's rapport with the King's Siamese children in "Getting to Know You", and with the King himself in "Shall We Dance." There is also romance in the love ballads "I Have Dreamed" and "We Kiss in a Shadow." Similarly, in the selection from THE SOUND OF MUSIC, Kunzel conducts this until the orchestra soaks itself in the atmosphere of this Austrian R&H score. This SOUND OF MUSIC suite has more of a feel of the score compared to the bonus track on Sony's reissued version of the Broadway recording. You can almost feel as if you are following the progress of the Trapp family and how it lifts its spirits with the joy of music. Kunzel gives us a soaring version of the title song, and spirited versions of "Do-Re-Mi" and "My Favourite Things." He balances it with the open-air quality of "Edelweiss" and "The Lonely Goatherd." Although this suite could have included "Something Good," the love ballad written for the film, the three recollections of the songs that were cut from the movie only last for a while. And, the towering version of "Climb Every Mountain" crowns this portion of the disc, and this sumptuously-produced recording. But, I should also mention the infectuous FLOWER DRUM SONG medley, where Kunzel turns this underrated score into a work of art, until it convinces you to buy the cast recording. And, don't forget about the brief CINDERELLA WALTZ, too, when Kunzel conducts it magically, until you feel like you are in the company of Cinderella and the Prince. He is able to show how this R&H score marked a comeback for R&H after the failiures of Me and Juliet, and Pipe Dream.

Overall, this glorious Rodgers and Hammerstein recording is guarunteed to make you want to pucker your lips out for a whistle or sing along (to paraphrase another revew for Kunzel's Disney Spectacular disc) - even if this recording is music only, and as long as you know the words to the songs (and you might know a large handful of them already.) There is always a certain magic in this fine CD that makes you feel like you're sitting in the theatre watching these musicals, until it makes you feel like it is truly, to borrow two R&H song titles, "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Something Wonderful" to be in Kunzel's company for this R&H offering. It would certainly be one recording that could make you feel willing to buy the complete cast recordings of the shows. And I guaruntee that it will make you feel willing to pull out your existing copies of the cast recordings to listen to them again. I also guaruntee that it will be a cornerstone in any Rodgers and Hammerstein collection, just as it is in mine. Recommended heartily to any Rodgers and Hammerstein enthusiast and to fans of Erich Kunzel's work. And, you can play it while reading the Richard Rodgers biography, Musical Stages, until Rodgers himself would count this as his favourite disc in the afterlife.

By the way, most of the arrangements for the suites on this CD were done by the veteran R&H orchestrator Robert Russell Bennett, and it surely adds to the appeal of this recording. This itself is enough to amount to the icing on the cake, since Kunzel conducts them well on here, and since this recording still allows the suites to have the original theatrical atmosphere. And, although this recording is like the Mauceri collection of the Rodgers & Hammerstein overtures in compiling orchestral suites of Rodgers & Hammerstein, I think that I like the Kunzel recording even more because Kunzel has more magic in his conducting of these suites.

Excellent!.......2003-04-08

This is one of the best Erich Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops collections we own! A must for Rodgers and Hammerstein fans, too.

Great Arrangments.......2001-09-02

amazing debut.......2007-07-30

Wow, some of these reviews..ie) "best cd ever", is a little bit much. Granted, this is a really, really good debut album. Couple of somewhat weak tracks, but a few absolutely amazing ones that I would put in my top ten of all time. These are "Shooting Stars" and "Killing me". I was incredibly excited to hear the follow up album. Turns out they haven't been able to replicate anything close the the solidity of this album. "Paper Wings" and now "Disguises" are considerable disappoinments, with the exception of the song "Closer". It's as if they were trying to hard. Looks like we have a one-trick pony on our hands here. Oh well, at least there is always this album.

What i think is the best band of the 21st century!!!.......2006-12-23

i learned about Cauterize on 1080 Avalanche. their song Killing Me was the on the first level i played. then i heard Choke and tried to find all of their songs on the web. i found them and then i got a 25$ gift card to Amazon on Christmas 2005 and tried to get the CD. i entered my adress wrong...oops. o yea the guy who rated them 3-stars i think u were dropped on your head as a child

The Best CD to Get! .......2006-05-04

When I heard the Cauterize song, "Choke" on an add for a game, I instantly loved the song! Then I got that game and heard the song, "Killing Me", then I knew I had to own that album. Now I've got it and I'm happy.

This band only gets better.......2005-08-01

To the guy that said Breaking Point is better, you sir are a jackass.. Cauterize IS a pop-punk band you moron, NOT a rock band!! Do your research before posting stupid comments.

Their new CD Paper Wings is AMAZING.. this band is like a fine wine, they only get better with age!

Above average pop-punk rock.......2005-07-24

When I first heard Cauterize from a friend of mine, I was a skeptic. I guess their whole "angle" is that they blend melodic, complex guitar riffs with alterna-rock vocals and pop-punk speed melodies. Sounds original right? Well, not really. For the most part, the album's fast pace overpowers their whole Alternative-metal side, and at times, the lead singer can get a little whiney. I'd say "so far from real" is like 60% punk, and 40% everything else they were going for. I'm not surprised they got dropped from "wind-up records" in 2004, cuz this just isn't their target fanbase. For pop-punk, it's good, but for "real rock", it's only average, at best. Check out "Breaking point" (also on wind-up), a band that sounds kinda like Cauterize does, only much, MUCH better.

decieving.......2006-07-08

I did not know I had to buy a special Cd player for this 16 dollar cd. They range from 300-500 dollers.

My bad. I guess I had to read the FINE PRINT.

bad description, especially when this cd format is not widely known.

How Amazon screwed me this time.......2005-10-04

Amazon sent me some kind of funky CD "enhanced" version that did not play in a normal CD player. When I wrote about it some person made it very clear the it was my error -- I guess I should know that I am not very knowledgable. Of course they say that they will return it but they charged me for shipping. I know they will print this becuase they don't read anything that I send them. rob k in St. Thoams USVI

Put it on and hit the repeat button.......2004-01-01

This soundtrack is like LOTR in that you can put it on in the background and play it over and over.
Highly recommended!

Very surprised it didn't win an Oscar.......2003-09-26

This soundtrack is one of the most powerful soundtracks I've ever listen to. I believe Howard Shore won an Oscar for his soundtrack to Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring the same year that A Beautiful Mind came out... unfortunately, Horner was robbed that year, although I also too love Shore's score.

Horner opens with "A Kaleidoscope of Mathematics." It comepletely draws the listener, or watcher (if viewing the movie), in. The music literally sounds like a Kaleidoscope, as if one could litterally HEAR the different colors ... and yet not randomly, but in a cohesive mathimatical way. And then, approximately one and a half minutes into the piece, a sobering, more pensive movement, yet colored again with the interesting flurishes abundant in the first minute and a half.

I've never reviewed music before, but have been an avid listener to scores and soundtracks for years. This, along with the single piece from Castaway by Alan Silvestri, and both the scores from Empire of the Sun and Hook by John Williams, TOPS the list of all time favorites. Check 'em out!

Awesome Sound Quality.......2003-06-02

I saw this movie and was very impressed with it. Russel Crowe and Jennifer Connelly put on wonderful performances. Although one of the best parts of this movie is the haunting soundtrack. There is a bit of mathematical precision to the music and because of the multichannel aspect of the SACD, the room is filled with music. One of the things I like about this format is the fuzzyness of the music. You can hear the reverberations and things and they aren't cleaned out by the clipping. Given all the interplay on this soundtrack, this is probably the best format to hear it on.

A Great Album!.......2007-03-28

Nearly 20 years later and I still regularly play this album! Their sound defies time, as they fit in to the music scene as much now as it did then. There is not a song on the album I do not like. While I did not enjoy Gloryline as much, I've enjoyed discovering other DSR stuff from the various music download sites. They had a lot of awesome material!

On My Stranded on an Island List..........2006-06-19

This is hands down one of the best albums out of my collection of over 600. The rock is timeless and each song stands on its' own. Yes, if I was on an island this would be in my top 3 choices...

not so rough.......2006-03-22

This is still one of the best albums I own and I now have it engraved for perpetuity in my MP3 player. It took over where the good REM albums left off and was my favorite album for two years before the Gin Blossoms New Miserable came out.
Great live band for a 3 piece too. Wish they were here.

beautiful urgency.......2005-08-17

this might be the MOST underrated album of the last 25 years. Dreams So Real whips up a collection of songs filled with themes of introspective regret, visions of Biblical cataclysms, and reflections on the joy (and the "nervous unknown") of what love TRULY is. the whole album "snaps" and "glows" with the relentless "crackling" energy of the embers of a late-night wind-blown campfire in the wee hours of a Georgia evening. the production is great, the songs are superb AND the entire journey is a wonderfully melodic, jangling pop-rock trip saddled with introspective urgency. a real beauty and a MUST have.

Jangle pop at its best.......2005-08-04

Not enough can be said about how catchy this album is.
For those of you who wonder what happened to the band:
Barry is working for the University of Georgia (Athens) in the Dept. of Biochemestry and Molecular Biology.
I hear the Trent Allen is a Graphic Artist living in Athens and Drew Worsham is playing drums in cover bands along the Georgia coast when not working as a computer technician.
On a sad note, Drew was shot in the face by the ex boyfriend of his girlfriend. The bullet didn't enter his brain, but lodged in his eye socket. I hear he's recovered. Our prayers are with him.

Danceable & Delightful.......2006-04-02

This CD begins with medieval Turkish and Macedonian music, and goes through the Italian, French & English Renaissance. This is a great CD and every number is worth listening to. I like to put this on and dance like a wild woman. If you're new to early Western classical music and your idea of it is polite and slightly boring scratchy instruments, then buy this CD. It will toss your preconceptions and introduce you to the wonderful diversity of Western music origins.

A wondrous blend.......2003-09-04

A wonderful blend of early music by various ensembles, including my very favorite, The Ensemble Unicorn. This album has a little of each western European country's music from the medieval period. Though three or four of the recordings aren't of the best quality recording (the musicians are top notch, it just sounds like an old recording) It was an excellent purchase. I initially purchased it because I was buying anything by the Ensemble Unicorn, and found several other ensembles on this cd I enjoyed just as much. All in all, a VERY good purchase for the early music enthusiast!

Not Too Bad.......2006-02-01

I hate to damn Gloryline with faint praise, but it's a pleasant piece of jangle pop. If I lost mine, I'd buy another one (especially at these sub-dollar prices). But I'd buy "Rough Night in Jericho" first.

There are a couple stand-out tracks on this CD that are pretty much worth the price of admission: "Stand Tall" was probably the "hit" off this one - I remember hearing it on local radio, but then I was in and around Athens at the time. It's a straight-forward piece of country-tinged rock, all chiming guitars and tambourines. "Overton Park/Faith" is a nice instrumental-cum-rock-out that appears on a lot of my mix-tapes from back in the day.

Many of the songs have a soft Christian overtone to them, if that sort of thing matters to you. Other than the stand out tracks, not much else sticks in my memory, which may explain why there was no follow-up to this one. If you were wondering about Dreams So Real, go for Jericho. This one's an also-ran.

Slightly weaker than "Rough Night in Jericho".......2005-05-01

Bigger production waters down the sound of Dreams So Real in their 1990 major label follow up to "Rough Night In Jericho".

You can still hear the passion of the 1st album in tracks like "Gloryline", "We Have Danced The Night Away" and "Here Comes The Train", but the majority of these songs suffer from the increased production.

Stick with "Rough Night in Jericho", and spend the rest of your energy looking for 1986's excellent "Father's House", with the outstanding track "Everywhere Girl".

Get the other ones first!.......2004-11-05

Go start reading through the pile of glowing reviews for "Rough Night In Jericho" and you'll quickly realize that this was a really good band and was recognized as such. However, I think "Gloryline" was an attempt to move toward the mainstream and get more radio-friendly, quite possibly due to pressure from the major label who put it out. As a result, it was a failure musically, as well as commerically, and it was the last anyone ever heard from this band. Aside from a good, short instrumental piece, "Gloryline" was not memorable music, and a guest spot from Kate from the B-52s certainly did not help. (Going for another Shiny Happy People, I guess!) Do yourself a favor and check out Rough Night In Jericho, and, if you can find it, their debut album "Father's House" (only came out on vinyl, as far as I know) - those are the ones we want to remember Dreams So Real by.
