3 out of 5 stars Great (I suppose) if you already know the words.......2003-03-13

For me, the voices were faint relative to the musical instruments. It was difficult to hear them. Yet, the language was so stylized that, even when heard, understanding the words was tedious and exasperating. Most mannerisms of the stage originated in purposeful behavior, I feel sure, but they detract from the performance when overindulged. I think I'd prefer a studio recording in which the singers sang with unpretentious style right into a microphone, and the audio engineer adjusted tone and timbre. I imagine elitists cluck-clucking about the purity of music without microphones. In my opinion, if you're making a CD, then you've sinned already, so why not go all the way and make a great CD? If my dear reader remains with me at this stage of my rant, I say the performance at the opera house may be mahvelous and pristine, but a CD and an opera house are different media, and performers should optimize for the medium. However, this recording of Pinafore is the best I've found of the sad available lot. I'd rate it 2 stars if it weren't superlative.

5 out of 5 stars ... He's hardly ever sick at sea ...........2001-07-31

I must admit, I only bought the opera because I was rather amused by Sideshow Bob's rendition of the HMS Pinafore (Cape Feare, The Simpsons). Since then, I've bought (and enjoyed) the Mikado, planning to get the Pirates of Penzance soon. This opera is both hilarious and beautiful, mainly thanks to a great performance by the D'Oyly Carte opera company. If you're at all interested in classical music and the opera (which you should be), this is something that everyone should have.

4 out of 5 stars Outstanding recording - average selection.......2001-06-14

Nothing more needs to be said about this superb D'Oyly Carte Pinafore, which won a well-dseerved Rosette from the Penguin Guide. Yet, in this highlights disc, I find that despite containing most of the major scenes, I dearly wish that Decca had chosen the excerpts a little more carefully. The lack of the entire "Carefully on tiptoe stealing" sequence seems to be an extremely serious minus in my book, particularly when it presents a sharp twist in the story. In addition, I also find that the inclusion of the entire "Over the bright blue sea" sequence is a little too - too redundent because the entrance of Sir Joseph is more important. Nevertheless, this is a wonderful disc of Pinafore excerpts. It presents a generous selection of excerpts that offers a good playing time without affecting sales of the complete set, and it also is enough to make one feel contented for a long time before purchasing the complete recording.

4 out of 5 stars A generous selection!.......2001-01-05

With so much of the recording offered as highlights it would have been better to purchase the full operetta. This recording dates from 1960 and is superalative in every respect. John Reed, Jean Hindmarsh, Thomas Round together with the late Donald Adams are reasons enough to acquire this version. The only missing quality is the dialogue. Never was the libretti of Gilbert ever spoken with more relish for the language and with such finesse. If you decide upon further investigation I urge you to do so.

      5 out of 5 stars A Lucky Random Purchase.......2001-07-09

      One night in a record store i picked up the vinyl version of this single. all it had on it was this little sticker with the picture of the group and the name. Now, my DJ name (one of them) is Spooks, and it was going for like 5 bucks so i figured what the hell and picked it up. It's great, i had it for about a week or so before i got down to listen to it, but once i did i was thankful. Go out and pick up more of Spooks work.

      cheers

      5 out of 5 stars Great Vocals, Great Rapping..........2001-03-18

      I only heard this single by accident when I tuned into MTV late one night. I thought it was GREAT! The female vocalist has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard, and the rapping was intelligent as it was funky. I was well impressed it all, and I LOVED the video, it was so surreal, I mean walking under a tunnel with traffic passing you on both sides, dressed in black and looking like something born from the night? I mean how surreal and eye catching can you get? If this song is anything to by then the album will be the next hottest thing since my mother dropped the extra-throat burning chillies into the salad bowl and forgot to tell us! RED HOT OR WHAT!!!

      5 out of 5 stars STONE GROOVES.......2000-06-13

      These group ranks with Common, Dead Prez, and Mountain Brothers. Tight beats with philosophical (and meaningful) lyrics! You better believe that I'll be buying their album on July 11!

      4 out of 5 stars The aural mix is the only reason to get it, but worth it........2000-04-23

      This is a great song, and I can't wait for the Full CD to come out (may 23). The Aural Mix is by far the best, but it's edited (no cuss words), which doesn't screw the whole song, but the thought that this isn't the unedited song is kind of annoying. the crude mix is kind of, well.. crude. the Beats are nice, but the music is kind of edgy and sharp. The same vocals are still there, but they aren't quite as good as they are with the aural mix. Young Thugs - ballad of youth (snippet) is kind of like jay-z, but without the good background music to support it. Schooly D's Song is kind of nice, but it's kind of annoying. If you're going to get this CD, get it for the aural mix. the aural mix is one of the best songs I've seen in a while, and is comparable to the roots.

      5 out of 5 stars Spooks -- slammin'.......2000-04-12

      This group is hot. If and when they release their first full-length album i'll be the first in line to buy it. Great vocals and bass line. Catchy song.
