RJD2 creates music that's not easy to pin down, though everyone seems to try. The Columbus, Ohio-based DJ-producer explores the same basic formula used by DJ Shadow and Moby, but his style is more complex and, refreshingly, a hell of a lot less pretentious. Less bass-heavy than Shadow's 1996 release, Endtroducing... (the album it's often compared to), Deadringer showcases RJD2's master ability to layer unusual samples with complex drum patterns, funky grooves, and original vocals. The '50s horror movie-sampled "The Horror" starts things off on the grunge tip and then the album's sound progresses into straight-up hip-hop, break beats, rock & roll, blues, and more. Songs like the Jimi Hendrix-influenced "Smoke and Mirrors" and the honky-tonk soulfulness of "2 More Dead" up the ante, demonstrating just how far the trip-hop genre has progressed since the mid-'90s. One of the most enjoyable albums of the year, Deadringer is an essential addition to your listening library. --Rebecca Levine

5 out of 5 stars YESSSSSSSSS.......2006-11-11

It is new and old, calming and at the next moment exciting. It is art that you experience. It sets a mood, leads you on a journey. It is music for meditation, for making love, for dancing, for cleaning the house. It is great! You will love it if you love DJ music, dance music, or Jazz. It combines so many things together but with smoothness. This album makes its very imaginative combinations seem natural.

5 out of 5 stars instant classic.......2006-08-08

I discovered this CD in a local music store. I had never heard of RJD2. I picked this CD up on a whim and was very pleased with it. I have been a fan of Moby, DJ Shadow and all of the other DJ's and producers that RJ has been associated and compared to. With that being said, RJ sounds NOTHING like Moby. There are some tiny similarites, but they are not in the same class of style or genius. DJ Shadow and RJ don't really sound anything alike, at all. I don't see the comparison.
Being a producer/music creator myself(not a DJ), I can appreciate the style and creative force that RJD2 wields like an iron sceptor. Each song is crafted and laid out with tight beats and awesome production. All of the reviews on this spot seem to classify RJ as this or that. WEll, to be honest, he has his own style, RJ style. It sounds like no one else.
RJ seems to enjoy using samples, but his creative energy shines forth. This album is more "hip hop" oriented,, even featuring a few emcees who rock the mic right. I love this cd and I would recommend it to all who enjoy tight beats.

5 out of 5 stars For those who love to discover new music, and to add to your classics..........2006-06-19

By classics, I mean every album in your collection. Obviously, to you they are classics.. Otherwise what the hell did you buy them for right?

Having recently discovered this thanks to the site - Having been an obsessed fan of Shadow, Krush and Cam before, during and after their 'hey day' since in the US they never got recognized. I became and discovered the underground... meaning big on music that mainstream definately has never heard of at all....nor intention of ruining thank karma.

RJ definately shows that he has skill as a DJ. If you buy The Horror Remix disc, (which like another reviewer said is basically an album in itself) you can watch first hand on the DVD as he raws (awesomely performs) it live on the second disc.

The two tracks with rappers are good. I've never liked rap for rap. But when it stays true to the origin, like this - a dj and 2 mc's... The mc's tell a real story, or they express their hearts in rap forms. There's no clapping and sugarcoating to get the azz up like today. The lyrics are real, it screams out for attention but it craps on the mainstream like everything should be.

The instrumental tracks vary a lot. Sure they keep a solid hip hop flow as far as the beats go, which is good... but some tracks have a little too much of the vynl over dubbed over his created add ons...Songs like 'Good Times Roll' for instance. It's normal though if you're big on sampled music. If you're deep with music and find a flow in a piece of the song than it won't bother you. But the song is repetitive. No breakdowns or breakouts like the lead off track or the big break in 'Smoke N Mirrors."

The Hip hop tracks are reminiscent of DJ Cam's rap tracks. Samples all over the track dubbed with a spitter literally pardoning the French.

Now my big problems with the CD... The tracks that I really dig, like "Shot in the Dark" - an old gangsta western track with a voiceover sample is only a minute and 21 seconds. The tracks I'm all over are the fade in, and fade out... why the artists always do that I don't know. Maybe its financial ties with pushing the disc out the door and it's an unreleased track.

I've done that a few times with some of my tracks, but I loved it, and just couldn't build off of them....

If you are new to this 'genre' then I say welcome, hope you like and venture into discovering more. But to be honest, RJ is the closest thing to Dj Shadow (not UNKLE) than Mr. Obtuse (look him up on myspace) and that's it.. And I spend everything on music. 10-05-06=$268.44 look at my profile for proof...

The review sucks but hey.. If you know what to expect when you hear the clips, than you know you will like it. I did, and I do. If you buy old cd's because they are new to you, yet published 3-10 years ago than go for it. Obviously today has gone awry and anybody who is real unlike cable television and source awards can tell you... Go get this disc. Hell.. Kanye would like it... so what's that say?

4 out of 5 stars Nice.......2006-05-04

Rjd2 is nice, but a number of his songs tend to follow a very similar run down chord progression, and there's the feeling that some of the songs didn't sound all that different in their original non-sampled form, more so on this album, less so on the following. (Which granted could be taken for masterful sample blending, but i think not.) Though, they're good songs. If i were to rate them on their production/sampling originality, i'd have to go 3 stars, but i'm going to rate them on their good songness factor.

5 out of 5 stars Essential.......2006-05-01

I think that this is essential for anyone whos even slightly interested in this kind of stuff. It's mad cool, and when you find a track you like, it gets stuck in your head, and you find yourself humming it. And its not a bad thing, too. My favorites are:
The Horror, June [the rappings not bad, but the melody is insane], Smoke and Mirrors, Cut Out To Fl. [this track is extremely catchy], the Final Frontier [its strangly refreshing], F.H.H. [becuase he rhymes about how i feel about rap, and its a nice instrumental], 2 More Dead, and Work. The main reason i love work [it could be my favorite track] is because of the hidden song that cuts in 5:40 min. into the song. This is [In my opinoin] the best song on the disc.
I gurantee [i think i spelled that wrong] that if your into DJ Shadow, or just appreciate mellow tunes, then you'll love this.

5 out of 5 stars 21st Century Brave.......2007-07-27

If you're searching for another "Brave", look no further than "Marbles". I actually prefer Fish-era Marillion to Hogarth, but the greatness of "Brave" cannot be denied. With this release, Marillion has once again delivered an emotionally-driven concept album with beautiful lyrics and a tight progressive sound. This recording was actually purchased by fans before it was even recorded, as the band was suffering from not being signed to a major label, and needed fans to invest their money and faith in the ability of Marillion to record an acceptable piece of music.

Hogarth is superb on this album; he sounds like Bono from U2 at times. (Listen to the only 'pop' song, "You're Gone"). At times Marillion is spacey on this disc such as in the beginning of the first track, "The Invisible Man," and reminds the listener of early Pink Floyd or King Crimson. At other times, it's Marillion's typical gut-wrenching, tear inducing musical bliss. "Neverland" hits the listener like a gust of wind coming in from the ocean on a warm summer night, and is easily one of this band's most epic tracks of their entire catalogue. I must also give kudos to Steve Rothery who puts together some nice acoustic guitar work on the track "Don't Hurt Yourself". On the other hand, his electric performance is full of feeling and emotion and adds a powerful element to this release that propels it into the upper echelons of H-era Marillion.

Altogether, this is a fantastic album, and I'd recommend it as a follow-up to any fan of "Brave" or even of their 80's material.

3 out of 5 stars Good but not the best stuff.......2007-04-09

Ive heard See It Like a Baby ... it's kind of catchy ... very commercial
... I will (eventually) buy the new CD ... MARBLES is a good record (3.5 stars) but too many sleepy-yawn tracks like Angelina and Don't Hurt Yourself {and I don't care for Steve's falsetto voice in the chorus - if a chorus is not in your range of your real voice, write a different melody} ..... Don't know if anyone agrees but sad to me the days of BRAVE, AOS and SEASONS END are just flat-out gone ..... Marillion like any band wants to be successful and has decided they just can't do it making the type of music of the above ... maybe they're right ... Or maybe for some odd reason they prefer this style ... Anyway good CD and I look forward to new Fish release (I support both artists =lly)

5 out of 5 stars Pink Floyd Meets Crowded House.......2007-02-20

I think this best describes Marillion. They have the David Gilmour type solos, the Neil Finn-like singing, the Pink Floyd minor key tinged songs and epics and the Crowded House melodies. My advice is to skip the domestic US release and get the double CD import. To fully enjoy this CD, one must listen to the song "Ocean Cloud," which is only available on the import. Great album, great band.

4 out of 5 stars Let it grow on you.......2007-02-12

This is a review of the single cd version.
On the first listen I was surprised it sounded so mainstream (for Marillion, anyway). Since I found the music quite pleasant, I kept playing it and kept finding layers and layers of surprises, which is quite typical from these guys. I like it a lot now, A LOT.

5 out of 5 stars The world's gone mad!.......2007-01-29

When you can put on an album and just sit back and do nothing, just let the music take you on an emotional and powerful journey, it's really something special about it. There are very few albums that have the same effect on me like Marbles have. Its melodic and professional, sometimes relaxing, sometimes upbeat music takes you through a delightful darkness with a colourful brightness and a loving atmosphere. Not in the same musical style as Misplaced Childhood, but it still brings the question; "Can music be any better than this".

3 out of 5 stars Dead Ringer = Dead on Arrival.......2007-05-13

Definitely not Bat Out of Hell caliber. Another side of Meat Loaf that is a bit uncooked. Not an album that I listened to over and over, but there are a couple highlights.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful album.......2006-07-01

Ignore the previous reviewer, as for angst, this is no worse than Bat out of Hell, so if you liked that, you'll love this too. The production isn't the best, but it's a great album nonetheless.

2 out of 5 stars Feh.......2005-07-29

This album is written for people that are emotionally 16 years old and insane. Every song is from the point of a disenfranchised boy moaning at the world. The end of 'I'm gonna love her for both of us', when he keeps saying the title with different inflections...don't you just picture Rainman rocking in a corner somewhere? And if she doesn't love him back, he'll kill her! Unless she's in bed with a group of his best friends?? No wonder 'Everything is Permitted.'

This is bad. The production is bad, the tone of the guitar is godawful, Meat's voice sounds worse on this cd than any of his others by far (I know he lost his voice and was doing weird things to try to get it back. I don't hold it against him, but I'm the one that has to listen to it.) The band is fine, and I like some of the actual music. It's the song titles and lyrics that are awful.

4 out of 5 stars How did this get such a bad review?.......2005-06-23

I had never heard this album until recently. I'd heard "Dead ringer for love" and loved it. But all I'd heard of the album was that it was not half as good at "Bat out of Hell". Well what I say to that is that this album is a brilliant follow up to the album. What were they expecting? An album better than Bat out of hell? Thats impossible. But anyway, the album starts off with the brilliant "Peel out", which will be banging in your head for hours. The next few songs are the ones that get the chorus' stuck in your head. Even though "Read em and weep" is slightly too ballady, it will still get stuck on your brain! "Everything is permitted" is perhaps not the best way to end the album. "Dead ringer for love" would've been quite a finish! Though Meat Loaf's voice is recognisably more high pitched, you would still associate this album to the artist who made an album that stayed in the UK charts for 472 weeks! This is a must have album.

5 out of 5 stars Best Meat Album EVER.......2005-05-20

Yes I said best ever. Bat is good, don't get me wrong. But more than you deserve and I'm gonna love her for both of us have sentimental value here. Okay, so I'm a little biased. But I loved this album! Get it! Now! What are ya waitin' for, an invitation??

    This is a fantastic album. If you didn't care for it, give it another listen. With all the crap coming out these days, you should be more respectful of the good stuff that does come out. I really really love the tune Be Tonight. It really stays with you. I think that this cd is the opposite of disjointed. It flows with some of the best music of the decade. I do not understand how any fan of this great band could not like this album. Open your mind a bit and give it another listen. Would you rather the world be flooded with more eminem?

    2 out of 5 stars Obee don't know me.......2003-05-15

    It's obvious: "Obiwanbeeohbee" is a putz. Stop criticizing the critic! Everyone is entitled to his/her own tastes. Let's face it, these "citical reviews" have become nothing more than chat rooms, venues for adoring fans to make fools of themselves with lavish verbose praise. But to take such a vitriolic attitude towards a reviewer who is simply expressing a personal opinion is too close to fascism for my taste. Vent your spleen somewhere else or lighten up. There ARE more important things in the world young man.
    By the way, I agree with Mr. Delahanty's assessment. The music is forced & disjointed with no identifiable connecting theme. But no one's perfect. I'll bide my time until the next album appears.

    5 out of 5 stars What were you expecting?.......2002-12-30

    When I purchased this disc I wasn't looking for another "Remember The Future" or "Tab In The Ocean". I wasn't expecting to hear "Recycled" or "Down To Earth" or even "Magic Is A Child". I'm not stuck in the '70's and I didn't expect Nektar to stay there either. What I expected to hear was a project that reflected the fact that much time has passed since those excellent earlier efforts and hopefully the band members had lived and matured through the following decades as I had. This recording is an excellent effort and deserves to be appreciated for what it is. "Terminus/Oh My", "Now" and "The Drinking Man's Wine" will most assuredly tell you what this project is all about. I for one really enjoy the more mature and reflective lyrics. Roye Albrighton's vocals are still forceful and unique - unmatched in all rock music. The arrangements are excellent. Taff Freeman's keyboards are still rock-solid and innovative. And, if you listen closely, you can still pick out a few of the signature chord changes and background riffs that make Albrighton's guitar work exciting to listen to. This is an overall excellent recording.

    2 out of 5 stars Oh, how I wanted this to succeed..........2002-11-18

    I "found" Nektar when I was in college. An impressionable period, right? Well, I was impressed! So much so that I purchased all of Nektar's albums. I still enjoy listening to them; it's one of the reasons I recently replaced my old turntable. Their music conjours up fond memories. But not this album. It is disjointed & forced. Noting that they have just released a reunion CD, I am sadly fearful that they took a look around &, borrowing a Cranberries title, thought "Everyone else is doing it, so why can't we".
    Having said that, I offer this disclaimer: It's only my opinion. Taste is a very individual thing. I'll take a Three Stooges short over Citizen Kane almost any day...

        When I first heard the harpsichord in the opening credits, I knew that this score was going to be something really special. In a film that is rife with murder, deception, along with the great Miss Davis, it's no surprise that the music had to be up to the task, and Previn steps up to the plate masterfully.

        Besides the use of the aforementioned harpsichord, Previn makes great use of frenetic strings, blaring horns, and soothing woodwinds, when necessary. The best cuts are "The Main Title," "Edie's Theme," "The Dog Attacks," "Forgery," "The Morgue," "The Police is Waiting," and "Figueroa". The jazz tunes, many available for the first time, can be heard in snippets during scenes at Edie' bar.

        The jazz numbers are fittingly relaxed as a contrast to the traditional orchestral selections that pull out all the stops in a film rife with "Grand Guignol."

        At just under an hour in length, the score is one that any movie music fan will treasure.

        4 out of 5 stars Cheesy Movie, But a Great Score.......2006-12-07

        The most striking element of 1964's Dead Ringer, as Jeff Eldredge adroitly observes in his liner notes to FSM's CD release of the film's soundtrack, is André Previn's musical score.

        The film was released in the wake of the success of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, and Previn's compositions, particularly the title track with its harpsichord, capture all the elements of the movie, from the sensationalistic to the romantic, perhaps more effectively than the movie itself. The score is reminiscent not only of Jerry Goldsmith's scores for such early `60s anthologies as The Twilight Zone and Thriller, but presages Billy Goldenberg's scores for Columbo and Ghost Story in the early `70s as well, albeit with a bit more bounce in its step.

        FSM's CD release of the soundtrack is essentially a reissue of the original soundtrack LP that was issued in 1964, augmented with eight bonus tracks consisting of unused cues and source music, mainly combo jazz. In contrast to other soundtracks, the bonus tracks are just as compelling as the rest of the album.

        Jeff Eldredge's liner notes are very informative, not concentrating so much on things like the movie's gross receipts or what the critics thought as giving background on the genesis of the project and interpreting the meaning of Previn's various cues. I am curious, however, how Dead Ringer qualifies as a "Golden Age Classic" when Rio Conchos, also released in 1964, is labeled a "Silver Age Classic."

        Like many a great score, André Previn's score for Dead Ringer holds our interest and is intriguing enough to almost make listeners forget the deficiencies of the movie. This package represents one of FSM's stronger releases.

          5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!.......2006-04-14

          No wonder they are called the Dead Ringer Band; they are 'dead ringers' for what used to be called American music but their kind of music was squashed by Chet Atkins with his homogenization of country. This group is superb.

          I was told by a friend in Australia that kasey is HUGE and he turned me on to the Dead Ringer Band. The trick is to find a station/video channel that will play their kind of music. They're not hip hop or crappy country music. They are superb!

          5 out of 5 stars The Dead Ringer Band hits it on the nail.......2006-04-10

          The wait for this CD is definately worth it. Kasey Chambers voice is a shining star and this is every bit a family affair. From the opening cover of Born to Run, an Emmylou Harris song, which they more than just pay respect to, you know the band is dead on. From the haunting 'Sometimes She Forgets' to the cover of Gram Parsons' stunning 'Return of the Grievous Angel', you'll be hooked. And their cover of the George Jones standard 'He Still Thinks I Care' (She Still Thinks I Care) will make you forget for a minute that this was originally a George Jones song because they do it with such ease that it really seems like it's their own.

          5 out of 5 stars These folks have simply "got it"-and they're from Australia!.......2005-01-13

          I truly wish this CD was more affordable and that it would get the airplay it deserves. The Chambers family has been making music as part of their family life and the genuineness of these performances simply speak most eloquently for themselves - just listen.I especially loved the version of John Prine's "Speed of the Sound of Loneliness" as done by this band, as well as the Gram Parsons song "Return of the Grievous Angel". This disc is a jewel!
