LOVE IT!!!.......2006-04-27

Such a terrific compilation of songs. Marc Dorsey's rendition of "People Make the World Go Round" gave me goosebumps! That's a good sign. A must have.

Crooklyn feeds the soul.......2005-06-12

This soudtrack means more to me than any other music compilation avaialable. Every song is carefully chosen to speak to the heart and mind of the listener and viewer of the Crooklyn film. It's a compilation of eclectic time-appropriate songs that portray the passion and atmosphere of the time period and culture it represents. The song "Oooh Child" has given me hope and encouragement through many of life's unexpected tragedies, and I appreciate every aspect of the music offered in this CD. I recommend it to anyone that enjoys a somewhat mellow yet passionate style of motown music. This CD is timeless.

Pure rythmic soul.......1999-02-17

Motown at its finest. A collaboration of songs that make you tap your feet and smile. From Ooh Child to ABC, Crooklyn will make you stand up and cheer (even if your driving). So pop in the CD, and stretch out your neck, because there's gonna be a whole lot of bopping to these Motown greats.

I couldn't rate it any lower...........2003-12-13

If you are a fan of XTC, DO NOT listen to this. You will want
to kill yourself. I almost did.
This compilation is the biggest insult to
one of the greatest (and underrated) bands of all time. I don't need to single out any tracks since they all completely suck. With the exception of the hidden XTC track. Think of it this way, no one needed to re-do Michaelangelo's 'David' so why on earth would this have been released at all, except for a big joke. I am not a big fan of any covers of any kind any way (see NIN's sloppy cover of Joy Division's 'Dead Souls'), but these are atrocious. Reading some of these reviews just sets in stone that these authors are not true XTC fans. If you weren't an XTC fan before listening to this, and you like this tripe, don't bother picking up an XTC album because you are musically stunted and are not ready for the real deal.

p.s. And to the writer who stated there are other bands who could do XTC's songs better than them....I say this:
1. Burn all your music
2. Shove a pencil in both ears because you obviously don't use them anymore.

A Testimonial Snack.......2002-03-26

If you're new to XTC, and like other artists better (maybe some that are on this CD) then maybe this is the one for you.
For me, this was a little disappointing. I think too many of the artists stuck too close to the original and didn't try injecting anything of themselves into the songs. But that is the problem with XTC songs, they are so indelibly stamped with XTCishness, it's hard to imagine them being covered.
Granted, there are many singers who can carry off an XTC song better than Moulding or Partridge, but when you've heard the sheer quality of their work, you can't imagine anyone else singing them really.
I am a fan of Sarah MacLachlan, but to be honest, I found her rendition of the song a little bit boring. The songs lyrics can be sung out with either venom or sadness, it seems she did neither, which is surprising because she can be quite melancholy and wistful on her own tracks. She didn't seem to take this anywhere.
Ruben Blades version of "The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul" is absolutely stunning, and dare I say it, as good as the original. He made this song his own, and he sounded like he cared. It gives this CD authenticity, and is the only track worth it apart from the following . .
The Verve Pipe's "Wake Up" and Terry & The Lovemen's "The Good Things". Verve Pipe because they made the song their own without losing what makes the song recognisable as an XTC song, they put enough of themselves in without forgetting that the song is great with or without them.
And "The Good Things" because it's XTC, and it's one of the best things Colin Moulding has written in the XTC canon. He may write less than Partridge, but he absolutely comes up with very observant, life catching songs without being pretentious.

The rest of the songs are a mixed batch -- the strongest being They Might Be Giants "25 O'Clock", which matches the original in sound and texture, but beefes up the solo section a bit, making it a bit snappier and less psychedelic.
And those are the only ones I remember from this disc worth mentioning. Just an opinion.

Brilliant concept & solid execution, with a few mis-steps.......2002-01-30

The subtle reworkings of "Earn Enough for Us" and "Senses Working Overtime" are smart interpretations, staying close to the original but being different enough to get (and keep) your attention. The letdowns are limited to 3: Joe Jackson (quite surprisingly!), Sarah McLachlan (it just seems tired and uninspired in this post-Lillith era), and an utterly verbatim chord-for-chord replay of "Nigel" by The Rembrandts. That last one is probably the least insightful, least creative, and most pointless contribution to the overall effort. [Though what else would you expect from an act known only for the "Friends" theme?]
TMBG and Mr. Blades are exceptional, and L. Hux's "Another Satellite" is a transcendent reinterpretation of an already phenomenal & groundbreaking song.
Bottom line: If you like XTC and have an open mind, buy it immediately.

Fine for its particular audience.......2000-08-28

The 'Testimonial dinner' set of covers is smart, well produced, and interesting to people who know the XTC material already. Except Ruben Blades's brilliant rework, most people will find that the artists' original recordings of their own music is fulfilling and that XTC did a sporting job at recording their own work. That is, XTC didn't need the testimonial.

Nonetheless, it's sound listening. The common complaint is that neither Partridge nor Colin Moulding have the voice to carry their songs. If that's so, you will like this varied album.

Better than I expected.......2000-03-01

Most songs by quirky rock/pop composer-performers don't survive being covered; If they do, it's often only by slavishly copying the original note for note. But Partridge and Moulding's songs are so strong that they often do very well in other hands.

Some of the songs on this collection don't survive the individualistic treatment; the first three cuts on this album are pretty forgettable. But some are gems. Reuben Blades changes "The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul" from XTC's Rundgren-produced spy movie theme into a steamy Latin tune. TMBG's"25 o'Clock" is as much fun as the original. Sarah McLachlan's "Dear God" is as good in its own way as the original. And "The Good Things" by Terry and the Lovemen is probably unique in the history of recorded music- a band covering itself!

If you're an XTC fan you'll need this album to complete your collection, of course. If you're not already a fan, buy the XTC originals, but buy this one just for McLachlan's cut.

Customer Reviews:

Merengue Underground.......2001-11-07

This is an excellent record which stands apart from all commercial Hispanic music biz compilations. The artists are all unknown, nevertheless excellent - all types of merengue are featured, from merengue "derecho" to merengue with violins, to merengue "bomba" to "New York style" merengue.

All of the music is great and the record makes for an incredible listening session - also great work-out material.

The packaging is off-the-hook. It looks more like an urban record than the typical hispanic market CD. And, the liner notes and small bios of the artists are interesting and informative. 5 stars!
