Customer Reviews:

I can name that tune in three notes.......2005-02-19

My family likes to put this disc in on shuffle and play name that tune. I wish they made more discs like this, only with more obscure works.

A Fabulous CD.......2004-10-14

The Idiot's Guide to Calssical Music is an awesome Cd for those people who want to have a tiny sample of all the great classical compositions. Track 61 and 63 are my favorite.

Mega-Sampler! This really does have 99 tracks!.......2002-03-20

Yes, this CD really does have 99 tracks. How do they do it? Each is about a minuet long. Some are longer, some are shorter, but you get the micro-essential moments of the music.

If you like burning your own CDs, then this is a great source for intra-track fillers, along the lines of They Might Be Giants' "Apollo 18" album, which has all of those short tracks on the end. The idea is to put your CD player on shuffle, so the short tracks get mixed in with the bona fide songs. The result being a very unusual album.

The booklet gives an explanation of the track, where you heard it (i.e. the Warner Brother's Cartoons, or on famous films), and where you can get the full piece of music. So it's a mega sampler CD.

I can honestly say that this CD is a great gift for the friend who has everything.

Fun Sampler.......2001-11-09

For the beginner. You will be surprised at how many of the 99 themes you recognize here. It is an easy introduction to classical music. Nice booklet too.

Useful........1999-03-22

Take it for what it is, a clever and useful GUIDE to classical music. No, it is NOT an uncut rendition of Beethoven's 9th symphony. It IS a cd that will jog your memory. You have heard many of the tunes presented here, but not always knowing what the work was. This is your chance to catch up with all the great classical music you have been exposed to. Cheap too.

Amazon.com

For his third collaboration with director Sam Mendes (after American Beauty and The Shawshank Redemption), composer Thomas Newman has come up with one of his finest scores. The music mixes modern atmospheric quasi-rock touches with Middle Eastern influences (with particularly great success on the tracks "Welcome to the Suck" and "Zoomies."). The latter manifest themselves in both the beats and the instrumentation--the credits include soloists on exotic instruments such as the bowed cumbus (a type of banjo-like lute) and the processed xaphoons (a sax made of bamboo). All the more jarring, then, when the CD's handful of songs pop up. (It's quite a jolt to hear Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy" after four eerie instrumental tracks.) The other song picks are obvious but well chosen: T-Rex's "Bang a Gong (Get It On)," "Naughty by Nature's "O.P.P.," Public Enemy's "Fight the Power," and Tom Waits's "Soldier's Things." Still, it's Newman's work that propels this CD, not the pick-up songs. Surprisingly, Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries," which figures in one of the movie's most memorable scenes (when soldiers watch Apocalypse Now), isn't included here. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

You fools!.......2006-10-27

I am reading all the negative reviews of this soundtrack, and most of them mention the absence of Kanye West's "Jesus Walks." One reviewer gives the album one star because he was "misled" into buying the album.

Um, hello? This is an instrumental score for the film! NOT a Various Artists soundtrack! This is, you may have noticed, an album that falls under the name of Thomas Newman! If anyone bought this expecting other music, then it's entirely their own fault. It even says on the front: "MUSIC BY THOMAS NEWMAN."

That said, I'd also like to correct Amazon on something - they said this is Newman's third outing with Mendes, the other two being "Shawshank Redemption" and "American Beauty."

Shawshank was directed by Frank Darabont, NOT Sam Mendes.

Mendes' other pairing with Newman was actually on 2002's "Road to Perdition," which is another great soundtrack I'd heartily recommend purchasing.

Missing Theme Song - but otherwise not bad.......2006-03-01

If you've watched the previews for this film, you're likely expecting a song called Jesus Walks by Kanye West to be on the soundtrack but it's not there - very annoying. But otherwise it's a pretty good CD of music to listen to while you work out or drive fast.

Fine score, but a consumer warning for the CD.......2006-01-20

Thomas Newman's original music for JARHEAD is not only typically daring with many unconventional sounds (utilizing samples, electronic treatments and exotic percussion), but one of his most stirring, rock-influenced efforts as well (as with the opening track, "Welcome to the Suck"). At first I thought there were no melodies as memorable as "Dead Already" from AMERICAN BEAUTY or "Road to Chicago" from ROAD TO PERDITION, but the 3/4-time march used in both "Raining Oil" and "Desert Storm" has grown on me. Of course the CD is recommendable for Newman's score alone. But...

...while one doesn't buy a CD of this nature primarily for the extra songs, one does expect the extras to be competently presented when they appear. So I was taken aback to hear Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" at a faster tempo and higher pitch than usual, as though mastered from a sped-up tape. I can't think of any intentional reason for this, so I'm assuming it was a mistake, but either way I found it not only annoying in itself but because of "Fight the Power"'s thematic significance, with its reference to the Bobby McFerrin tune heard earlier in the movie. ("'Don't Worry Be Happy' was a number one jam/Damn if I say it you can slap me right here".)

So then, while I like the Thomas Newman score a lot, I'm docking the CD a star for the sped-up "Fight the Power". Caveat emptor.

Thomas Newman is a Genius!.......2006-01-07

Thomas Newman is brilliant as always and delivers beautifully. Having read the book prior to the motion picture, Thomas Newman truly brings Swofford's tale to life. If you enjoyed The Horse Whisperer or the Shawshank Redemption score, then you'll thoroughly enjoy Jarhead.

Almost perfect for the film, loses points as a cd.......2005-12-23

Make no mistake - Jarhead proves Thomas Newman's abillity to write music for film. He is not making the music in order to show off his amazing talents, he is making the music so it is perfect for the film. Whereas some composers might score depressing scenes with grand sweeping movements trying to make themselves look like complex composers, Newman knows what will enhance the scene and what won't, and what can convey the message required.

Ultimately, this describes Jarhead perfectly. I have seen the movie and music is seamless and perfect for it. For the most part, there is a sonic texture created, with guitars and drums to represent the bravado of the characters. If you are a fan of Newman's stirring orchestral works this is definitely not something you would like. Newer fans of "American Beauty" and the like will find things to enjoy here, but not in as vibrant or pleasing a way as in that album. The score on it's own is just not as exciting or involving as it could be. It is interesting in it's own right, but not very pleasing to hear. However, there are many good tracks interspersed throughout the score to take you to the good spot.

Overall, Jarhead warrants a 4.5/5 for the film, but on a cd, it's score drops to 3/5. It is pleasant at times, and mostly an interesting CD, but there are too many Newman masterpieces to consider this one high on your buying list. Then agan, if you are a Newman fan, this CD should satisfy you're urge to see what the guy is up to. Final score? Three out of five.

A fitting end to a trilogy.......2006-01-03

This record really is a masterpiece. It chops and changes from political(Pipe Stories) to personal(Lethal temptress), from lament (goldenboy) to celebration (our love is like a wire), from country jamming (collapsing star) to electronic-ish (mysterious in black) paranoia. It reeks of the best bits of Dylan (collapsing star, rats alley), Waits (Settle down Zelda), Cohen (Love is like a wire), Velvets (Morbid Craving), The Stones (Name Names) and thats just the male vocals courtesy of Timothy Bracy and Paul Deppler.

Then you bring the dulcet tones of Shannon MacArdle into the mix, and you get an honest unflinching sincere delivery of heartfelt and topical lyrics to the unmistakeable sound of a band at the top of their game.

McArdle and Bracy are the definitive sound of this year. Their honesty and sincerity, dipped into a wellspring of humour, humility and irony betray their personality as the most likeable couple on record today.

For those of you who already have 'Lost in Revelry' and 'fortune' this is a fitting end to the trilogy that began in 2002.Pete Hoffman has taken a hiatus on this record but that doesn't compromise the quality of songwriting. If you want a record thats (a) Thought provoking and (b) rock 'n roll then you can't go wrong with this one.

Our Love is Like a Wire.......2005-11-30

There are a million bands these days. It used to be so simple. I had my circle of friends and we all liked mostly the same music and every now and then one of us would show up with a tape by some band we've never heard of and we'd have a new favorite band until the next new tape showed up.

Things aren't so simple anymore.

Every time I turn around or get on the internet there's some new band that everyone loves and the reviews are so good that I wonder what I'm missing. Usually, after having purchased said album, it turns out that I wasn't missing anything. Just another hyped up band with no substance.

The Mendoza Line does not fall into this category.

The Mendoza Line is one of those bands that other bands will be namechecking in interviews ten or fifteen years from now. Much like The Mendoza Line themselves have been known to namecheck The Replacements or American Music Club. And this new album is the latest in an increasingly long line of masterpieces they've recorded over the last decade.

This time around the songwriting has been split between just Shannon McArdle and Timothy Bracy with one achingly beautiful contribution from Paul Deppler. From the beginning of my infatuation with The Mendoza Line, it was Timothy's songs that I obsessed over more than the others, each one at one time or another I have proclaimed the best song in the world. But over the last several albums, Shannon's songs have increasingly been placed on that same pedestal. The first time I heard "Mysterious in Black" it stopped me dead in my tracks and I had to sit down on the curb in the middle of a late night stroll, unable to move until it was over.

But the real surprise of this album comes at the very end with Paul's song "Our Love is Like a Wire." I am not exaggerating at all when I say that this song is one of the fifty best songs of the last century. And yes, I have taken into account all of "Blood on the Tracks", "Rust Never Sleeps", "New Songs for the Old Ceremony", and Timothy Bracy's back catalog. I do not say this lightly. It made me cry. Not tears of sadness, just those rare tears when you hear something so beautiful it makes you hurt.

Do yourself a favor and worship this band now instead of later. It will happen one day anyway, so go ahead and buy this album and their others so you can say you were there when it happened.

If you like early Lucinda Williams - this is for you!!.......2005-10-30

Linda McLean lives in Northern Ontario; a rough-hewn Lucinda Williams, with taut songs full of fire and emotion not easily forgotten. Her debut (Betty's Room) was distributed by Rounder Europe to critical success (it is not available in North America at the moment, maybe on Bongo Beat next year).

Now, with her new album, we're proud to introduce this great Canadian roots artist to North America and beyond. Produced by roots veteran John Whynot (Bruce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo, etc), No Language is an impressive showcase of strong songs and emotive singing. There has been a lot of love and attention paid to craft and feeling; recorded deep in the Muskoka woods at Linda's home studio (that lake she's swimming in on the cover is her back yard) with the full panorama of nature for inspiration.

"Music is always with me; even while I studied dance and theatre, I sang songs for friends, covers of the folk songs I'd learned as a child mostly, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. At school I was most interested in language, and studied English literature, drama and poetry. And while I was a professional actor and an acting teacher, I studied music, piano, voice, composition, ear training. Listening to classical music is what really opened my ears, especially J.S.Bach and Gustav Mahler. All of these experiences contribute to the songwriting I do now."

"I opened the doors to my songwriting and the first person I found behind them was my partner. Andy had given up writing songs years before, but when he started helping me with arrangements on a few of my songs, we both realized that the process was bringing out the best in both of us. We started working together; the result is the songs on Betty's Room and No Language. We keep each other digging deeper, raising the bar... We each come in with ideas and the ideas grow as we experiment around chord changes and melodies. Most often I will go off with a melody we've come to love and write the lyrics. Sometimes a lyrical hook will come right with the melody. I've come to understand each song has its own nature. Some are ready and crystal clear, some songs are so quiet I have to listen really hard and long to hear them. I've got to let myself be quiet to hear what the song wants to say."

Linda McLean has been a well-kept secret with her fellow musicians and fans in the UK and Europe - now Canada and the rest of North America can experience a new voice on the roots scene, powerful, positive and inspirational.


Previous CD, Betty's Room, was released by Rounder in Europe to critical acclaim, this CD is on Bongo Beat worldwide.

* Produced by John Whynot (Blue Rodeo, Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, Bruce Cockburn, Colin Linden, Sue Foley, Kathleen Edwards, Lucinda Williams, etc)

* Co-written & guitars by Andy McLean (The Tenants, Double Dare, Intrepid Records, NXNE)

* Musicians on the cd have played with Jann Arden, Sarah Harmer, Blackie & the Rodeo Kings, etc..

Product Description

Imagine a road trip in Nick Drake’s old car, give Ryan Adams a seat, Grant Lee Phillips is there, maybe Beck has the wheel and Joni Mitchell is giving directions. The music they’d listen to would be pretty close to the music of David Berkeley. His voice is warm like a tumbler of bourbon. He believes in the lyrics he writes, and he sings them from the marrow of his bones. David Berkeley's newest CD, Live from Fez, captures a single show (February 22nd, 2005) with David's full band--their final show, in fact, before the legendary NY listening room closed. The emotionally-charged set features four new songs, including the hauntingly timely "Hurricane" and the heartbreaking "Glory." Also included are a sampling of crowd favorites from his first two studio albums, including "Red," "Little Fists" and a solo version of "Fire Sign," which David wrote for CBS-TVs 'Without a Trace.' The disc comes with a bonus DVD with footage of 4 of the songs from the concert at Fez. 'Live...' is the only album ever released from Fez and captures Berkeley at his emotional and comic best. "We wanted to give something back to the place that basically developed us," Berkeley explains. "Fez was really our home for a couple pivotal years. And I wanted to let people see and hear a show without any studio magic. I wouldn't have done it anywhere but Fez."
