Originating in the British rave scene, the vocal-dance sensationalism of The Shamen was evident while being feverishly pumped from the DJ booths of early techno pioneers. Finding critical acclaim among the substantive corps of dance culture, they released En-Tact, their first major-label offering. Crossing electronic currents, the tracks come off hard with trance beats, soul stylings, rap-attack incantations, vocal duels, and snarling tones. Relying on the wired sounds of drum machines and sequencers, the rhythmic pulses push sound systems to their limit. Even though there's plenty of material to keep your body moving, traces of ethereal-ambient influence keep things heady enough for the chill-out room as well. For whichever space or state you may find, expect lucid bases to be covered. --Lucas Hilbert

Ahead of it's time!.......2005-09-09
I can't believe that this innovative lost treasure was made all the way back in 1991! For something of that period in time, "En-Tact" is light years ahead of it's time and actually pushed the boundaries of trance, techno, and pop music. Perhaps the most innovative song on here is "Evil Is Even" which is a very strange track that has a didgeridoo effect and a strong beat and exotic instrumental sounds. A great song it is. This is a highly recommended CD!
Still worth a listen after all these years.......2005-04-21
While I've never had dinner with these guys, and I think if you judge somebody from having dinner with them then that's completely shallow and to miss the point. Besides, they could have been making a joke with heavy sarcasm. This can happen. I still think this album is great. In places it probably has aged but I think it's done so gracefully. Gems like Make It Mine, Evil Is Even....actually I think it's very strong as an album, a couple of less stellar moments but it's more diverse for a techno album at the time. And hey, this is the American version of the album which is more widely available than the original. Worth a shot if you're not easily put off by dinner conversations. Listen to the samples if you're unsure and then make up your mind
These guys are jerks.......2005-03-23
Had dinner with these guys in San Francisco when they were touring the US promoting this album. They were arrogant and talked nothing but s**t about their fans - which was hilarious to me because these were not the most intelligent guys (ie, they were intellectual doorknobs) I'd ever met and if you've heard their music you know that talent doesn't live in their house. Just thought you might want to know that before you invest your money in one of their 'albums'.
Light Years ahead of its time!.......2003-11-15
A truly exceptional album light that was pushing the limits of contempory music at the time. Some beautiful tracks with excellent quality vocals that still sound fresh today.
Brilliant -- bang to the beat of the drum!.......2002-12-09
Quite simply one of the very best electronica albums of all time, "En-Tact" starts off with a bang--the anthemic "Move Any Mountain"--and only gets better. Hard to believe this album is from 1991; it's held up amazing well--much better, in fact, than much of the Shamen's later work (e.g. many of the dance-pop/rap tracks on the "Boss Drum" LP). Almost every one of the 15 tracks is intelligent, highly listenable, and utterly unique. In particular, "En-Tact" includes two of the great underrated Shamen songs of all time: "Human NRG" (remixed by Graham Massey of 808 State) and "Lightspan" (two versions). You will not be disappointed.

The Sexiest Soundtrack of 2003 and 2004!.......2006-07-30
Great score, for it has the French charm score in it. The score and the music makes you think of France and it makes you wonder how it is like (if you have never been there) and I haven't been to France, but this soundtrack boosted my idea of wanting to go to France. Richard Robbins made a clear and focused score that reflects Paris, France. This is great music to listen to if you're just strolling the cobblestone streets of a village and simply to just relax to. This is recommended!

Okay, I have a cd of French music and it has the song that they play in the trailer! I didn't know how to respond to the question so hopefully you'll find it here. The cd is from Williams-Sonoma and is called La Mer. Its track number nine titled C'est Magnifique. And if you liked this soundtrack it's probably worthwhile to buy this cd! Hope its still available and that this helped, oh, if not, the song is by L'Accordéoniste if that helps!
Please help..........2003-10-20
We simply must know the name and artist of the trailer's song which IS NOT included as part of the CD soundtrack. Please, Please... Anyone??

I know... it's not helpful if I don't agree with you, but...........2006-10-26
This is a collection of previously released arias so there's nothing new if you were looking to see if she had improved or something which I was.
Angela has a lovely voice and is lovely to look at. These things are obvious. But one does ask if we have made what you look like more important than what you sound like in opera. I can hear that she sings flat quite a bit. Her rendition of "Depuis le jour" is truly awful. Tremulous, and under pitched singing make it difficult to bear listening to. (If you want to hear a great one check out a young Leontyne Price or Sills) Angela has really great phrasing which makes the under pitched singing all that more of a mystery. Also her low notes, which can be raspy and breathy are very unattractive- as well her transitions between chest & head voice are really glaringly bad. She also slows things down sometimes not out of dramatic effect but when she needs more time to make a "beautiful sound" (something Kiri used to do too.) Which I'm sure the average composer if asked would not be too keen on. Her pronounciation is suspect too. I've heard a tripthong on her Italian vowel u many times. I know, she's from somewhere other than Italy- but so are most opera singers. If one is proclaiming themselves a DIVA then these things should be already taken care of - in my humble opinion- which doesn't matter because she's sold tons of recordings. I listened to the whole CD then admit to having given it away to a friend. Is this the Emperor's clothing or am I the only one that can hear these things? If she had bad phrasing but sang on pitch I would overlook that in view of the loveliness of her voice- but let's face it, these aren't Pendereckian compositions with suggestions for pitches- the composers wrote the pitches indicated for a reason. Sounds like I'm being too harsh? well, I feel the same way about Andrea Boccelli- lovely voice, flat way too much of the time. So now the whole world can hate me for thinking 2 commercial successes don't sing on pitch with the consistency expected at this level.
I know... this isn't helpful because you disagree. It's okay, there may be one person out there who would like an honest opinion even if they disagree, after all, I did cover, in detail, the perfomance and the performer and isn't *that* what these reviews are here for? to help people decide? :)
A True Diva.......2006-04-15
Her interpretation of Casta Diva revealed that Gheorghiu was the true Diva here, sensitive, expressive and yet dignified. She is a wholistic mixture, melting together her talents of beautiful voice, perfect technique and dramatic expression, which not only applies to each song, but often to the phrase or word level. She can convey the emotion of the piece without putting her voice in physical distress. She can also dial in the appropriate amount of "darkness" in her voice for the occasion and dramatic effect.
I do not think she sounded like Callas, whose voice appeared to be stronger and thicker, but less pure and agile than Angela's. Callas always seemed to have some tension in her voice, loud or soft. Gheorghiu can relax or tense up her voice as needed, increasing the dramatic effect, in both her low and higher registers. Finally Angela's lower voice is unmatched in its expressiveness and unstressed purity.
This CD is highly recommended but in order to experience her full artistic talents, including acting, get her DVDs.
Excellent voice!.......2006-02-24
If Maria Callas had a great voice, it would have sounded like this.
A Diva ? A Copycat.......2005-12-24
Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu's "Diva" album: Is this supposed to be a tribute to Maria Callas ? Every time I hear Gheorghiu sing, she sounds like Maria Callas. She's a soprano who is riding on the wave of Maria Calla's past fame. Their voices are very similar..ie. If you put on a Maria Callas record album of the same arias (most notably "Casta Diva", "Una Voce Poco Fa", "D'amor Sull'ari Rosee" "Je Veux Vivre", "Depuis Le Jour" "Vissi D'Arte and "O Mio Babbino Caro." Gheorghiu is an attractive, Mediterrenean-looking woman and her voice is a lot like Callas. I'm assuming audiences adore her because their guilty secret is that they want to see a Maria Callas re-born once more. But on the risk of being too critical, I will admit she has more beautiful tones. She and her husband Roberto Alagna sit on top of the opera world as its most charming, exciting couple/performers. Gheorghiu has a beautiful voice, with dramatic bite and radiant lyrical capacities. However, she has hard one too many Callas records and copied them.
UH WILL THE REAL CALLAS PLEASE STAND UP?.......2004-11-22
WHY IS IT THAT EVERY TIME I HEAR HER SING SHE SOUNDS LIKE MY OLD RECORDINGS OF CALLAS?? THIS CHICK NEVER SEEMS TO DO ANYTHING ORGINAL!!! IN THE ENTIRE CD I FELT LIKE I RATHER LISTEN TO CALLAS THAN TO THIS CALLAS WANNABE

Classic - Hold the Chills.......2006-06-25
This is a fine collection of mostly classical themes.
Some of them have nice creepy moments, but on the whole, it's just some solid music. Not something to buy if you want really "spooky" music, but worthwhile for some interesting listening.
Packed with creepy stuff.......2000-12-16
This is an awesome album. It starts off with thunder crashing, running footsteps, a gate creaking, the wind howling, a cat screeching, a door opening, a woman crying that she needs help....and then SCREAMING! And then straight into track 2, the overture to 'The Phantom of the Opera'. Wow! The rest of the cd also features 'creepy' music from various sources, such as Alfred Hitchcock films, like Psycho, various classic works like Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Night on Bald Mountain', and also some other creepy sound effects. A good album not only for Halloween but I dare you to listen to it during a dark night with a thunderstorm raging outside.
A real work-out for your system.............1999-12-11
I've owned the "Chiller" CD since it's release in '89. At the time, I was working for a local Audio/Video/Music dealer, and was looking for 'demo' CD's containing not necessarily heavy bass, but ones displaying incredible dynamic range, and sharp transient peaks. I already owned a copy of "Time Warp", also on Telarc, and was intrigued when I read about "Chiller. Needless to say, I was extremely pleased with this disc. Not only did I get a disc containing some great treatments of classics, but the re-make of the "Psycho" suite is wonderful (the shower sequence is very faithful to the original)! A word of warning.....the dynamic range of this disc is not to be underestimated.....I drove an older amplifier into thermal shutdown VERY quickly with track #1. I haven't tried it since I've upgraded my home system....hmmm....might have to scare the neighbors tonight (or at least rattle a few dental fillings)!
Great stuff!.......1999-10-09
This CD contains tons of great classic Halloween tunes. Even though the names might sound unfamiliar, you probably know most of the music on here through cultural osmosis. Heck, it's worth it just for "Funeral March of a Marionette" (the Alfred Hitchcock show theme.)

Best Comprehensive Survey of Canadian Music Available.......1999-01-19
This anthology of three Centuries(!) of Canadian music was assembled by a former producer from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation who now works for Naxos Canada. This producer is also active in the Canadian music world, so he knows whereof he speaks (or selects, as in this case). Liscensing the best performances available from major Canadian and International labels, this is the best collection of, and introudction to, the entire Canadian music scene that I have ever come across. The booklet is informative and is as enjoyable a read as is the 2 CD set is to listen. I doubt there will ever be anything quite like it again. If only NAXOS would now start recording Canadian music on top of the Canadian artists they already record, than they will truly have one of the finest and most comprehensive classical catalogues in the world. As for now, don't pass this one up.

Kiri at her best.......2007-07-24
This album of arias contains some expected and some unexpected delights. In addition to the sumptuous "Depuis le jour" which is a favourite vehicle for lyric sopranos, Kiri does a very respectabe interpretation of "D'amour l'ardante flame" from Berlioz "légende dramatique"La Damnation de Faust which was composed for the mezzo-soprano voice thanks to the exceptionally beautiful middle range of her voice. Another of my favorites in the collection is her interpretation of an aria from Verdi's Don carlo which is usually heard in Italian translation but work a lot better here in the original French.
This is a classic recording and should not be overlooked by Kiri fans or any fans of French opera.

Sir Colin Davis has long been considered the world's finest Berlioz conductor, and over the years, Philips has released all of the composer's major works with Davis at the helm. Now, they're all here, in a 24-CD box, and it is an astonishing achievement. This treasure trove consists of the definitive, available readings of Les Troyens, Béatrice et Bénédict, and Benvenuto Cellini; a wonderfully energetic, passionate Roméo et Juliette; a Te Deum which is huge yet clear and not over-the-top for its own sake; Les Nuits d'été with different singers (of varying ranges in different songs), as Berlioz wanted them performed; the young Dame Janet Baker superb in Herminie and La Mort de Cléopatre; a relaxed, sweet Enfance du Christ; a Requiem which could knock you over; a Damnation de Faust which is both lyrical and exciting; a performance of Lélio which almost makes sense of that strange work; a Symphonie Fantastiquewith atmosphere and thrills; along with 7 overtures, 5 songs, and more. In addition to the moderate price, the packaging is such that the 24 CDs takes up less space than just the earlier releases of Cellini and Troyens together. This is one-stop shopping at its best. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:
same old same old.......2004-02-19
This is the second time I've been disappointed in a Soulstance CD. The music is great. No objection with that. But it's the same as their other CDs. I don't mean it sounds the same--it IS the same except for 4 or 5 of the 11 tracks. I would be very hesitant to buy another CD of theirs.
If you like Nicole Conte, you'll LOVE this too........2002-05-03
Can't really improve on the review below. This is so chic and smooth: I love it. A few months ago, I thought I agreed with the reviewer below that this was their BEST. But now, I'm not so sure. "Act On!" is every bit as fantastic as "En Route". Just sit back, close your eyes, and you're on Ipanema Beach and the waves are lapping up on the sand ... so relaxing. So beautiful and melodic. These guys have perfected Bossa Nova.
The best of the Soulstance CD's.......2001-11-21
First, it's a bit confusing the way Soulstance's Cd's are organized. So like I said in another review, this is their second album, "Act On" is their first release and "Truth, Simplicity and Love" is Schema (the label) American release which is a sort of "Best of Soulstance". All three albums are great - but this one is by far had better tracks than Act On. Truth Simplicity and Love pretty much had the best of Act On so that's the best buy, if you've never been exposed to Soulstance or heard their work in the Break N Bossa compilations. Hope I wasn't too confusing.
So if you only get one Soulstance Album, however, this is the one. It's great! Nice tracks, very smooth, and I liked it even better than "T,S and L".
The sound of Soulstance is lounge. Sometimes it wans in and out of funk, but more than anything it's pretty much musical and chilled - Bossa Nova/Italia. Think a mix between S-Tone Inc., Nicola Conte and Los Ladrones "Montana Rusa" album. Sometimes it will remind you of a summer themed soundtrack from the 60's. Great tunes, great albums and I'm really enjoying this CD.
