Marie Antoinette may be a period film, but don't expect minuets: Sofia Coppola's candy-colored portrait of the doomed queen moves to a punk beat. Whatever you think of how that approach works in the movie itself, it makes for a bracing two-CD soundtrack that's like a mix tape put together by a DJ particularly attuned to the tastes of 2006, not 1786. A dominant chunk of the selection is made up of vintage postpunk tracks, from Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Hong Kong Garden" to Gang of Four's "Natural's Not in It," from New Order's "Ceremony" to the Cure's "All Cats Are Grey." The giddily fun Bow Wow Wow offers a counterpoint to all that seriousness with three songs (two of them, including the iconic "I Want Candy," remixed by My Bloody Valentine's maestro Kevin Shields). Newer contributions come from acts as diverse as retromongers the Strokes and avant-electronicists Aphex Twin and Squarepusher, while Dustin O'Halloran (half of the L.A. duo Devics) contributes three nice, Debussy-style piano solos. The most conventional choices of the lot are a pair of harpsichord pieces by Couperin and Scarlatti, as well as Vivaldi's "Concerto in G," a chestnut that's got to be in every single film set in the 18th century. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

A TWO DISC SOUNDTRACK WITH MUSIC FOR THE PARTY . . . AND FOR THE MORNING AFTER.

Featuring APHEX TWIN BOW WOW WOW THE CURE GANG OF FOUR NEW ORDER THE STROKES and more!

Oscar-winning Sofia Coppola brings to the screen an imaginative interpretation of the life of France's legendary teenage queen Marie Antoinette. When betrothed to King Louis XVI (Jason Schwartzman), the naÃ¯ve Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) enters the opulent French court which is steeped in conspiracy and scandal. Without guidance, adrift in a dangerous world, the young girl rebels against the isolated atmosphere at Versailles and becomes France's most misunderstood monarch. Based on the book Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser.

Wonderful Soundtrack.......2007-06-12

High quality recording of this wonderful soundtrack. All tracks seem to be the full-length recording of that specific piece, not just the portion used in the movie. This is all music - no movie dialogue is included.

Marie Antoinette.......2007-05-15

I received my item very quickly! I have nothing bad to say. :)

A great anthology of song.......2007-05-09

A great mixture. Recommended to my daughter who composes music and she loved
the original soundtrack. Movie also good but soundtrack great.

Lush Life.......2007-04-27

First, let me clarify that these comments refer to the soundtrack, not the film itself. When I bought the soundtrack I knew practically nothing about 80s alternative rock. The inclusion of recent pop music was one of the things that made the film quite controversial. A lot of people really couldn't handle it. After listening to both discs repeatedly --while I still don't know much about 80s alt-rock-- I would say the music has 'grown on me'. Words like 'atmospheric' and 'evocative' come readily to mind. Ultimately I think it is an odd but fascinating mix, an interesting melange of then and now. It's one of the few soundtracks I'm likely to continue playing rather often, just because I like the overall vibe.

Best Music Ever for Home Wedding.......2007-07-20

The tape consists of 25 traditional wedding songs played by big orchestras; the music was beautiful and made a small ceremony into a special, unforgettable ceremony.

Excellent resource for wedding planners.......2007-04-05

I work regularly with people planning church weddings who want the service to be dignified, traditional and formal. Often they have "ear memory" of music they've heard in other weddings, but no idea about its composer or title. This CD is the best compilation I've found of music that fits those requirements. Selections include great music and performances make it easy to imagine how they would sound in a particular church or other setting. Includes works by Protestant, Catholic and secular composers.

Great item!.......2007-03-29

Great CD! Perfect when planning your wedding music. There are a variety of songs from various composers.

Preview your wedding day.......2006-08-14

This CD was inexpensive, and provided a great way to preview songs for my wedding. The CD had a good song selection. My fiance and I were able to get a better idea of how the songs would be at our wedding. Definitely an inexpensive tool that is worthwhile.

My daughter had to move her wedding 3 weeks before the event and the music she had arranged could not be there. I purchased this CD and we were thrilled with the price, the selections on the cd and how quickly it arrived. Thanks for providing the music for a beautiful wedding.

Have some friends who still haven't discovered what the Sarah Brightman fuss is all about? You'll find the perfect introduction to make converts of them all in Classics, so they'll have no more excuses to remain clueless. Sporting a Botticelli-inspired image of the platinum-selling soprano on the cover, Classics is a classy anthology including highlights from three of Brightman's chart-topping releases along with seven new tracks. Songs personally selected by the diva as her favorite classical interpretations are culled from her previous blockbusters: Time To Say Goodbye, Eden, and La Luna. And whether you're a fan already in the fold or one in the making, the new material here shows the diva at the top of her form, in new renderings of "O Mio Babbino Caro" and "Nessun Dorma" (accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic)--fascinating displays of the operatic confidence she's developed over her career. Other new offerings include a touching version of Schubert's "Ave Maria,' "Winter Light," a fresh take on her signature song "Pie Jesu" (from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem). "Alhambra" and "Dans La Nuit"--a real treat, bathing the listener in Brightman's silky, sensuous vocalism--add two original titles to her famous adaptations of classical melodies to new lyrics (using Chopin's haunting E major Etude in the latter case). All told, a lovely affirmation of the directions Brightman has boldly taken in her career to date. -Sarah Chin

Sarah's Best Easy Listening CD.......2007-03-15

Sarah Brightman's talent is limitless. Her soprano and/or alto voice is among the best and she lets it show in 'CLASSICS'. CLASSICS is a beautiful, easy listening, and peaceful CD. CLASSICS is one to listen to in tranquil or relaxing moments. "CLASICS" is a collection of great pieces of music written by great composers (Shuburt, Handel, Chopin, Puccini, and the like). I have listened to CLASSICS about 15 times now and it always puts me in a quiet and peaceful mood (I am ~50 years old).

Best Brightman CD.......2007-02-07

A classical composition which showcases the beautiful voice of Sarah Brightman. A timeless CD which will continue to be a favourite over the years.

Sarah Brightman is a Classic.......2007-01-02

Sarah Brightman is at her best in "Classics." From Dvorak's "Rusalka" (Opera B.203) to Beethoven's haunting Op 52, slow movement (Symphony #7), Brightman's voice and lyrical style are a joy. I particularly enjoy her performances of Schubert's Ave Maria and Andrew Lloyd Weber's Pie Jesu. This is a great add to my collection of serious music.

Not The Best - Not the Worst - From Sarah Brightman.......2006-12-30

After purchasing this CD for my iPod for iTunes, I must say that I'm a little bit dissapointed. 7 new recordings and 8 old ones, ones that I already happen to have. I do like the fact that they're all on one CD! Some of her new recordings, including, "Ave Maria", "Winter Light", "Alhambra", "Dans La Nuit", and the new recording of "Pie Jesu" are just too breathy for my taste. It seems as with every changing CD, Sarah's voice changes. I'm not saying that the result is bad; it actually gives the songs more of a dream like quality, but I'm used to the younger, more Andrew Lloyd-Webber integrated Sarah. Scooping continually occurs in new recordings of "O Mio Babbino Caro", and "Nessun Dorma". In some tracks from La Luna, like "Figlio Perduto", Sarah's voice is TOTALLY dominated by harmonizing recordings that sound almost mechanical.

OVERALLY - The new songs sound O.K. and the old recordings are just as good as they were back then. This album is still a great buy!

Nice Cover.......2006-12-27

I'm a heterosexual guy who's not an opera aficionado - I only mention these facts because I seem to be right in the bull's-eye of the target market for this product. Sarah B. has a nice voice and she's pretty. Both of these are featured prominently on this CD. The cover and several pages in the insert are devoted to what must have been a very long and expensive photo shoot (and Photoshop) of a semi-clad Sarah looking marvelous. (The CD also comes with a flyer so you can buy various Brightman "Classics" apparel - perhaps not for the heterosexual male).

As far as the music goes: not bad, not great. I don't claim to have the most discerning ears for this sort of music, but everything was OK by me. However, the pieces on the CD with which I'm somewhat familiar, such as "O Mio Babbino Caro," didn't sound quite as good as other versions I've heard (and that includes by Charlotte Church, not just opera stars). Also, the solo version of "Time to Say Goodbye" didn't sound nearly as good to me as the duet with Bocelli.

In sum, there were 3-4 songs I liked enough to rip to MP3s - which is enough so that I didn't feel ripped myself...

Wonderful and delightful evenings.......2007-06-27

If you are a really follower of Jack Aubrey adventures you must have the 2 Volumes. The best companion for you reading every evenings. A must have.
Enjoy it.

Great Music.......2007-04-05

I bought this as an accompaniment while I read Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series of books, and it goes very well. I've enjoyed every piece on this album, and recommend it for music lovers and readers alike.

excellent compile.......2007-01-16

It is dead-on excellent. Perfectly in tune with the entire series and spirit of Patrick's work. A simply joy to listen to time after time. You grasp the character of the age in crisply performed versions of various collection.

Pleasant backdrop .......2006-01-10

As a child growing up in the city of Salem, known for it's working class backbone, I was the only kid I knew who had been to Symphony Hall more than Fenway Park. Going in to Boston for the symphony's open practices was what I lived for. It gave me a true appreciative, although untrained ear. The one lasting lesson is that while you may not notice good classical music, EVERYONE notices bad classical music. And this is NOT bad classical.

I have been a reader of the Aubrey Maturin Novels for 8 years (only two a year for dramatic suspense) and while I am a huge fan of Patrick O'Brian's writing, I find that with the addition of the music he scored his work to, I stand in awe. The music is well grounded to the situations and feelings in the book. Either Mr. O'Brian was a very well rounded, or he did his homework.

The CD is a wonderful insight to the author, and the characters he created. Pour a glass of claret, listen to the cd, read the books...

but pay no heed to Killick's "scrape, scrape , scrape..never a song you could dance to.."

Musical soothing of the soul.......2002-06-11

I have been a fan of Baroque music since childhood (and I'm not all that old either). But I've only started reading the Patrick O'Brian books in the last few months, since it was announced that my favorite actor, Russell Crowe, was about to star as Captain Jack Aubrey in the Peter Weir movie. I am reading the books in order, and am currently on "HMS Surprise," so what else could be a more perfect accompaniment than this CD? Aubrey is such a multi-layered character, filled with imperfections and bad puns, however he has a great love for music and he plays the violin quite well. Often paired with ship's surgeon Dr. Stephen Maturin on the cello, music is a great release for this sea captain, and the pieces on this CD are fine representations of what Aubrey might have played while on assignment or heard when on land. The selections by Hadyn, Locatelli, Handel, Boccherini and Leclair are pleasant, soothing compositions that are complex and varied enough that they are not redundant, and range from peaceful to nimble. While listening to the CD, I could vividly imagine Jack Aubrey below decks in his cabin and asking Maturin to strike up a tune with him. And then they begin an Andante or an Allegro, allowing Aubrey to set aside his absolutely awful puns and jokes so he can clear his mind and relax. Considering some of the battles he's involved himself in so far in the series, he definitely needs it. Reading his adventures while listening to these charming pieces will relax you as well, and definitely take your imagination to some wondrous places in an era of great change.

Album Description

All-Music Guide writer Alex Henderson put it best: "No White artist has sung R&B more convincingly than Teena Marie." This tempest is a teacup, or "little munchkin White girl," as mentor Rick James once referred to her, belted out some of the most robust, authentic R&B of the late-'70s.

From the get-go, her identity was shrouded in secrecy. To prolong the ruse, her debut album on Gordy featured no photos of her, only a soft-focus image of the sea and sky. The ploy worked: Her first single, "I'm a Sucker for Your Love," a duet with Rick James, reached #8 R&B. When the truth was learned and the jig was up, it was too late: an R&B hitmaker was let lose, and there was no stopping her. Between '79 and '91, she had 23 R&B hits; of those Seven were Top 10.

For the First Time, her finest fire from both her Gordy/Motown and Epic years is captured on a single CD, including "I Need Your Lovin'"; "Suqare Biz"; "Lovergirl"; her two duets with Rick James, "I'm a Sucker for Your Love" and "Fire & Desire"; and her tribute to fellow Motown-to-Sony defector, Marvin Gaye, "My Dear Mr. Gaye."

Customer Reviews:

Not quite the "Ultimate" Teena Marie compilation but still great........2007-07-07

Although this is NOT an "Ultimate" collection of Teena Marie's music it is one of her most comprehensive collections. A truly ultimate Teena Marie collection would be a 2-CD set covering both her Motown and Epic recordings. That aside, however, this is an excellent anthology of Teena's music and a great starting point for anyone being introduced for the first time to this great but underrated R&B diva's most popular Motown tracks.

Teena Marie: Ultimate Collection.......2006-11-04

I have been a Teena Marie fan since a kid; growing up in 80s how can you not be? A white girl with s soul sounding voice! This CD is awesome and has the best of her best in my opinion. Great tracks like; Portuguese Love, Fire and Desire, I want to be your lover girl, all these and the rest of the songs bring back great memories of growing up in the 80s. A great buy!

Lady T at her best.......2006-10-20

Teena Marie: Ultimate Collection shows "Lady T" doing what she best which is providing good quality soul music. Even though it's missing my personal favorites "Déjà Vu (I've Been Here Before)," "Dear Lover," "Cassnova Brown" "Out on a Limb" and Ooh Laa Laa it's still filled with classics. From the classic uptempo tracks Square Biz and Lovergirl to the ballads Portguese Love, Young Love and the always timeless Fire & Desire it's a collection you don't want to miss. Teena Maire is without doubt the most soulful white women I've ever heard.

Most Enjoyable.......2006-07-24

I enjoy the soulful sounds of Teena Marie. Anyone that enjoys R&B, would difinitely appreciate this CD.

The Teena Marie Review.......2006-06-30

As always, the performance goes untouched in comparison, with classic mixed with the new. The sounds bring back memories of a time most of us were still in class; and sensual tones appreciate nicely. In a nutshell, its a nice asset to the collection and could eventually become a work of art, so go call your insurance agents.

Middle of the road wedding music.......2007-01-20

I bought this cd because I had everything in my wedding planned to the last tiny detail except the ceremony music. All the songs on the cd are nice traditional wedding songs. I did not use any of the music from the cd, but I am glad I bought it because it helped me realize that traditional wedding music was not what I wanted. All and all a nice classical music cd but not for brides who really want a personal ceremony. BTW I went with Enya and Lorena McKennitt.

just what I was looking for.......2007-01-10

We wanted traditional wedding music and found it in this CD. I'm no music expert, but the arrangements and performances seemed fine. I would definitely recommend this CD for any bride looking for a concise collection of traditional wedding pieces.

Most Chosen Selections.......2006-03-13

As a wedding officiant, my wife and I are often asked to assist the couple with other services for their ceremony, such as music. For this, we have a very large selection in our music library to choose from. We have put together a catalog of cd's that we loan out to the couple for their review, and most often, their selections come from BRIDE'S GUIDE TO WEDDING MUSIC.

If you're planning a traditional or formal wedding on a budget, this cd has it all. There are even two selections of Wagner's "Wedding March" to choose from. Only two of the selections have vocals, the rest are all extraordinary instrumental selections.

Often, even around the house or in my car, I find myself listening to this cd. The music is soothing, refreshing, uplifting and most enjoyable. I recommend this cd over all other wedding music cd's.

Another Great Reference CD.......2006-01-09

This is a great compilation, CD, along with Bride's Guide to Wedding Music Volume 2, to use as a reference for some of the more popular wedding songs; just about everything on here is standard fare for weddings. All of the musicians are generally superb, and the sound quality is very good. However, this is most useful if you are playing the CD at your wedding, or using it as a reference CD to talk over potential music selections with an organist, a string quartet, etc. Like my review for Volume 2, I only gave it four stars based on practicality, not on quality. If it were just quality, I would give it five stars. I purchased this CD since I am in the process of making my own wedding CD (I am a professional, freelance violinist), and this was nice to listen to, even just as background music for dinner. BTW: beware of reviewers who don't use their names, especially "A music fan." This is most likely the producer of the "Wedding Traditions" CD and he slanders other CDs so his will look better. You'd think that in the wedding music business people would have better ethics, but unfortunately, that's not always the case. The best advice I can give, as a classical musician myself, if to take time to listen to the sound clips, and if possible, try to find them on iTunes where they might sound higher quality. This is the only real way of knowing whether the CD is right for you.

A Nice CD.......2005-12-30

This is a very nice CD.
Our daughter used some of the songs on this CD
and some of the songs that are on the
"Classical Wedding Traditions" CD for the wedding.
She also used many of the songs on the
"New Wedding Traditions Volume I" CD
Amazon is a great place to find good wedding music

High Cost, Little Quality.......2007-06-07

This CD is such a disappointment! I sing with a traveling theater group and thought I could practice to this karaoke disc. Not a chance! The quality is poor-synthesized instruments & wrong notes and chords all over the place!Don't even get me started on the sample vocal tracks! I actually discarded this part of the pack as it was painfule to listen to. The vocals are horribly off key. Please, save your money. I know it's exciting to find this wonderful musical in a karaoke version but keep looking. Don't waste your cash on this one!!!

i'm 13, and i need help. (by the way, GO WICKED! luv it.).......2007-05-29

Hey ya'll.
i'm giving this 5 stars because i love wicked a lot (and it's not my top 1, but top 3.so i'm not biased) but i really need to know if the karaoke part is worth buying. i don't care about the instructional singers, just the music. i want to perform this, but plz tell me if it's worth the MUCHO money? thnx!

Don't waste your money.......2007-02-01

My daughter needed the karaoke version to perform one of the songs for a show at her school. This version is absolutely horrible. Neither one of us can even stand (or sit)to listen to this cd. What a terrible waste of good hard earned money. Everyone who has purchased this should receive their money back plus 10% and an apology for being subjected to hearing this. Shame on the people who produced this cd and are making money from it.

"well-sung, theatrical vocals..." What cast did they listen to!?.......2007-01-07

I bought this CD from the local Wal-Mart for a hefty sum. I was a little nervous, as I always am when I purchase something without listening to it first, but figured what the hey, it's Wicked, it CAN'T be bad. I really just wanted an alternate take on some of my favorite songs, since I can't afford to go see the musical in person yet.

I was wrong. I was very, very wrong. I realized I wasn't going to be getting the same level of performance as in the OCR release. But, after reading the reviews when I got home, I opened it. I popped it into my CD player, and my ears were immediately assaulted by their Gahlinda's warbling. Yes, Gah-linda. No other name fits so well. It's plain the group assembled to sing was trying, in part, to emulate the original cast's performance, and sadly, they failed miserably. Gah-linda's voice was off pitch and screetchy, frequently. Thinking perhaps I was merely comparing her unfairly to other performers, I played it for a friend, who all but begged me to turn it off. It was plain to us both that she was trying to sing far above her natural range. The other cast members, save their Fiyero, were decent. Their Elphaba was amateur good, and their Nessarose was surprisingly talented for the few moments time she got.

On to the music itself.

I have a reasonably high quality speaker system, yet the background music sounded like a midi file someone had made of the real music. Like something out of an old 16 bit game, or perhaps a talented teen trying to coax music out of an old keyboard. Thinking perhaps it WAS the sound system, I tried it in another media player. Same sound. Realizing that perhaps the guide CD might have simplified music apart from the karaoke CD itself, I swiftly switched to CD2. But wait. There was no CD2, because I had recieved two copies of CD1.

This was the final insult, for me. I contacted Stage-Stars and asked for my money back, explaining the variety of reasons I thought I deserved it. The woman I spoke with was polite and understanding, and, after getting my address, overnighted me a new copy of the title, shrink wrapped. It went immediately back to the store, and I got my money back.

On another note, on hearing the samples given on various sites of the CD2 music, I must conclude that it is the same quality on both CDs. In all honesty, you'd have more fun just setting the money on fire. Don't waste it on this purchase.

I could play it better myself on a kazoo.......2006-12-13

I bought this karaoke cd because I was told it was the only one available for the musical and even though I had heard it was bad I figured it couldn't be all THAT bad. I was wrong. It's so bad that it hurts the ears of anyone with an ear for music and can throw off even the best trained singer - even when watching the cd+g graphics. I don't know what solution to offer instead since it's the only karaoke track that I know of... but you may be better off just going without.

Album Description

Another beautiful CD by pianist Karen Marie Garrett. It's evident Ms. Garrett went exploring for something new and exciting to share with listeners in this collection of twelve new compositions. Whatever you want to call the genre; New Age, Adult Contemporary, Light Jazz, Classical Inspired, or ? ... it's working and it's gorgeous!

BILL BINKELMAN, NEW AGE REPORTER:

"BEST of 2006" , one of the "Twelve Best New Age / Adult Contemporary / World Fusion Recordings of 2006"

"This is one of the most beautiful piano recordings I've heard in recent memory, and even maybe longer. I highly recommend it especially for quieter times when you bask in its sepia-toned glow."

Will Ackerman, creator Windham Hill Records, gold and platinum record producer,
and Grammy Award-winning recording artist...
"Karen Marie Garrett's previous recording, Allure of Sanctuary, offered an abundance of melody and emotion, making it truly a remarkable debut. Her latest recording, It's About the Rose, presents an absolutely stunning evolution in musical styles, textures, virtuosity and emotional depth. She has not departed from what worked so well for her in Allure of Sanctuary, but has simply dug deeper to create an even richer experience."

Kathy Parsons, New York Solo Piano Publications... WOW!(full review below)

John Iverson, Shades of Classics, CKUW 95.9 FM Winnipeg, Canada
Beautiful as a Rose! I had not heard the music of new age pianist Karen Marie Garrett prior to reviewing this album, but after giving it a listen, I wish I had known about her much sooner."

Stephen Cairns, Piano Heaven - England
"A true gem of a CD....pure Piano Heaven." (full review below)

Repetitive.......2007-07-13

I heard Tally's Lullaby on cable and loved it so I listened to some snippets of the different tracks on Amazon and ordered it. I wish I'd listened longer to more tracks because I wouldn't have purchased this CD--I may be the only person to listen to this album and NOT like it! Except for Tally's Lullaby, the other tracks are so repetitive that I checked my CD player to see if I'd hit "repeat"---there is so little difference between them that it could be the same piece over and over, with the same left-hand accompaniment. Ms. Garrett must be a talented pianist, but I don't think you could prove it with this album.

A Healing CD.......2007-07-03

After the Va.Tech tragedy, I just happened to hear "Tally's Lullaby" on my digital music station and was impressed with the apparent healing qualities of this piece. It was the best song to hear at that particular time. I have since bought the cd and highly recommend it.

Another Great Album.......2007-06-13

I have to agree with another reviewer. This album is just great for relaxing and stress relief. I can't remember when I bought back to back albums by an artist that were as good as Allure of Sanctuary and It's About the Rose.

Great stress reliever.......2007-03-11

Karen Marie Garrett's latest CD is so soothing and stress relieving that I would encourge anyone who loves soft, warm piano music to purchase this album instantly on Amazon. Tally's Lullaby is my favorite and knowing the background on why it was recorded just makes for a better listening experience. Check Karen's web page for the details - [...]

CLASSICALLY-TRAINED PIANIST KAREN MARIE GARRETT COMPOSES ENTIRE NEW ALBUM.......2007-03-06

KAREN MARIE GARRETT
IT'S ABOUT THE ROSE

For her fourth album, pianist Karen Marie Garrett has created a hauntingly-beautiful CD of original contemporary instrumental music that contains contemporary classical and new age elements. IT'S ABOUT THE ROSE contains some solo piano pieces and also gentle duets with either cello (Eugene Friesen), violin (Steve Schuch or Derrik Jordan) or flugel-horn (Jeff Oster). These melodies are so captivating that the album went right to the very top of the national airplay chart. The CD was produced by famed guitarist and producer Will Ackerman, who also founded Windham Hill Records.

Garrett's background and training is classical music, and her first three albums contained some classical compositions. But now with the release of her fourth CD, IT'S ABOUT THE ROSE, you still hear her classical influences, but she penned all the material. The music includes melodic, structured solo piano numbers ("It's About the Rose in the Vase on the Table," "Beethoven Chopin and the Rose," "Impressions" and "Waiting") as well as free-spirited solo piano improvisations ("The Piano Called" and "Daydreams"). "Tally's Lullaby," a tribute to pets that have passed on, is a lovely piano-cello duet with Friesen (from the Paul Winter Consort). "Vinot and the Seabird" (with flugelhorn and vocals) was primarily inspired by Erik Satie, but also has Karen showing other classical influences including Beethoven and Pachabel. Garrett turned to Mozart and the local coffee shop for the inspiration behind "Café Espresso" which includes bass and percussion. According to Garrett, "Tip Toe Dancer and the Sea Pearl" (piano interacting with violin and bass), took its genesis from a moment on the beach when she saw a young child twirling with delight over a treasure found in a tide pool.

The melodies are memorable, the musicianship first-rate, and the production crisp and clear. There are plenty of contemporary instrumental pianists out there, but Karen Marie Garrett brings a little something extra to the table, perhaps a deeper level of emotionalism not commonly found.

So much musical genius in one package!.......2007-03-27

I like ecclectic music, and Buffy Sainte Marie is the epitome of ecclectic. This has got to be one of the most comprehensive musical collections out there! Her voice has mucho vibrato and takes some getting used to. Hey, so does Bob Dyaln, another person whose "Greatest Hits" album is expansive. Stick with it and you will be well rewarded. If you just want an album where all the tracks deliver up the same style of a one hit wonder, you don't need this album. If you want to hear the breadth and depth of one of the greatest singer-songwriters in the USA and in folk music history, then this is for you. I LOVE the mix of protest, personal reflection, fun, folks, country, pop, rock, POETRY at it's finest. Many of these songs move me to the deepest level with the combination of thought, emotion and tune. Yes, the arrangements leave something to be desired on some of the songs, but Buffy's brilliance shines through. I cannot understand why these songs aren't covered more by other artists, but when you look at the weak tea of most pop music divas nowdays I guess it's self explanatory. Buffy is something all together different and original! Great road music!

I highly recommend, but it's too bad I have to.......2006-10-07

She is too great an artist to be reduced to a The Best of, but here it is. It lives up to it's title.

Her trip into rock and roll, documented here, would have seemed like maybe a predictable commercial idea except for one thing....

Wonderful example of a great artist's work!.......2006-07-28

The Best of Buffy Sainte-Marie is a great compilation of some of her best work. If you are unfamiliar with Ms. Sainte-Marie's work this album will give you full range of her musical stylings. The lament that is Cod'ine makes you feel the anguish in the soul of the addict. Groundhog reminds me of the songs my grandmother would sing to me. My Country `Tis of Thy People You're Dying led to some mighty interesting debates in history class. This is a wonderful album and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Ms. Saint-Marie's music and I feel that it is a wonderful first album in anyone's Buffy Saint-Marie collection.

A voice of America.......2006-02-22

Buffy Sainte=Marie cultural roots are those of her Cree tribal family background. On her Best of album are to be found the thought provoking self-penned songs that have made her the spokesperson of the indigenous tribes of America.

Joy and sadness are found in abundance here. Ground Hog is a celebration of life itself, I'm Gonna be a Country Girl Again says volumes about the sense of nostalgia felt by the exile; at the heart of songs such as these is a sense of felt joy. In contrast are Buffy's ballads, which are songs of 'monumental' sadness; Cod'ine is a grim comment on drug addiction and My Country 'Tis Of Thy People You're Dying is a shocking revelation of the history of America.

Possessing a voice of astonishing vocal range, Buffy has been writing and performing her music for nearly fifty years. This album encapsulates that life.

If for no other reason- God is Alive Magic's Afoot.......2004-08-06

Every song on this cd is passionately and brilliantly done. However,Buffy Sainte Marie's musical interpretation of a Leonard Cohen poem- God Is Alive Magic's Afoot- is probably a little-known wonder of the world and alone in itself worth every cent paid for it.
Cohen's poem sums up the Gospels movingly and succintly, while Sainte Marie sets the rythm, power, spirit and feeling of his words to perfect original music.
Cohen and Sainte Marie are an unbeatable combination.
