Jesus was a pretty popular guy in New York in 1971; as the ersatz star of both Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar. If Superstar was a little dark, Godspell was positively frothy; and its portrayal of Jesus as a hippie clown was part of its goofy charm. Another part was Stephen Schwartz's nifty score; a little naive and dated, but also as hummable as anything in history. Slap this in the CD player and be transported back in time to an era when kids were all singing "We Beseech Thee," "Prepare Ye the Way of The Lord" and, of course, the cheery "Day by Day." I'm guessing they don't do these in folk mass anymore. --Michael Ruby

5 out of 5 stars The genuine original.......2007-06-11

This is the genuine original, the only Godspell album that really ought to carry that distinction. It is not a sophisticated recording nor is the cast polished and experienced. Most of the cast is first and second year drama school students so voices are a touch thin and untrained. Listening with headphones reveals thumps often picked up from the piano microphone and other uncontrolled audio aspects. Instrumentation is basic with piano, Hammond M3 organ, acoustic, electric and bass guitar, drums and other percussion. It is not a problem however and adds to the charm and realism of the performance. As for where to peg it music wise I can't say it's Christian Rock, I find most Christian Rock is overly produced, slick and corporate and lacks soul and emotion. Godspell has a closer similarity to a good old Rock Opera with doses of folk mixed in. Lest one forget that we were freshly out of the 60's so it has many musical earmarks of that era. This recording of Godspell has vibrancy and energy that the later recordings of the musical seems to lack. Compare for example `All For The Best' on the 71' verses the London 93' version.

I am biased a bit; I grew up with this version. Not to mention have seen it performed at my childhood Presbyterian Church many times and I know the melodies, instrumentation and lyrics by heart.

3 out of 5 stars It is dated- but good to remember.......2007-05-14

I listened with fondness in the 70's and part of the 80's untl cassette wore off.

I agree with the reviewer who said it sounds dated, it does.. and there is a lot of nostalgia in that, like remebering when in mass you could sing day-by-day.. its songs may not be as impressive as Superstar, but they are more ctachy and melodical.. All the willows there is a great song, not too sad or tragic...

It was only late in the 80's when I had the chance to see the movie, and I was not that impressed, though I admitt it was original.

3 out of 5 stars Moving Music.......2007-03-09

Godspell takes a while to grow on you, but once it does you won't go away disappointed. The musical that made "Day By Day" famous is light, inspirational and a good way to make your day.

5 out of 5 stars Got what I wanted.......2007-03-08

The item I ordered is the item I received. It's hard to go wrong with a particular CD that you want. Had I ordered the American Cast CD and received the London cast CD, then I would not have been happy. But I got what I wanted, so I am happy!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2007-01-04

The vocals and beautiful harmonies with the awesome band blew me away. I was very impressed. This CD was very helpful to me because my school is doing Godspell as a play and it helped me learn the songs and understand the meaning behing the songs. I got the CD before auditions, and I scored a lead! I sing "By My Side" which is one of my favorite songs on the CD.

      Instrumental are a British sextet of hip, classically trained string musicians who have recorded with electronica acts like the Orb and jammed onstage with junglist crews. On Acoustek they serve up "classical" remixes of well-known techno standards--a potentially cheesy project that is more than redeemed by the group's playful intelligence and gutsy feel for the music. Briskly performed and well-crafted arrangements of tunes like Orbital's "Forever," the Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds" and Moby's "Hymn" do more than just highlight the interwoven patterns and haunting melodies that techno often slips behind its pounding beats; they also expose the debt this music owes to the phasing pulses of minimalists like Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and Philip Glass. Though Instrumental relies too much on plucked double bass to carry the beat, they often do an inspired job of translating dance rhythms into the more languid language of strings. --Erik Davis

      This work is a fantastic collection of electronica performed in the style of a string sextet. Where most attempts at this would fail, Acoustek plays with so much emotion, one can't help but keep listening for what is next. For anyone with a liking towards progressive or exploratory musical forms. Five Stars! No - Six actually!

      This is one of the best cd's I've heard in a long time. The concept is great: arrange classic electronic music songs for a string sextet. It is amazing to hear the great textures and interpretations this group can give to songs from orbital, the orb, moby, and brian eno. Their version of Little Fluffy Clouds is amazing, as is Forever. I would recommend this cd to anyone who is even mildly interested in techno.

      I grew up on Motown music, and I am very familiar with the H-D-H Motown Sound. My wife and I love Lamonte Dozier's music; Invictus, Hot Wax, and the whole genre.

      This CD is super! Lamonte Dozier is truly blessed, and the music is phenomenal. The only song missing from this CD is "Why Can't We Be Lovers" by Lamonte Dozier.

      This CD makes me "Break Out", and "Go Back To My Roots". It fills me musically with "Joy", while I'm "Trying To Hold On To My Woman". "Let Me Star Tonight" and "Put Out My Fire".

      This CD takes you back, and you'll "Love It To The Max". It is worth every penny,

              Product Description

              There is one thing that Dr. Dre has been known for having a rare talent with since the beginning, other than producing, and that one thing is being able to spot a young artist with that special something before other labels do, and then get him or her signed to his Aftermath record label. Everyone thought that Dre was crazy for signing some wacky, skinny white dude that rapped about things like suicide, trailer parks and excessive drug use, but nearly a decade later Eminem is one of the best selling hip hop artists of all time. This case is no different, but now it's back to the mighty West Coast for one of the least-known monster talents of underground hip hop right now, Bishop Lamont! Signed to Aftermath records in early 2006, after appearing on the soundtrack to the video game "True Crime: Streets Of L.A.", as well as Warren G's "In The Midnite Hour" album, Bishop has made a big entrance into the game and he isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Beat wizard Dr. Dre and West Coast mixtape king DJ Skee, come together on this banger of a mixtape, showcasing a sick tracklist of all-new Bishop material that is just what fans have been drooling for, and the KKK-killer theme of "N*gger Noize" is keeping things ever-controversial just as West Coast gangsta rap ought to be. Don't sleep on this one playaz, the West is back up in ya! [17 Tracks]
