Country music's infatuation with the puka-shell rock of Jimmy Buffett has been one of the genre's less fortunate indulgences. Most of Nashville's hat acts do little more than dip their toe in the water and do nothing to build upon Buffett's signature sounds. That's why License to Chill, which features a plethora of Music City guests (Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, Clint Black, George Strait, Martina McBride, Toby Keith) along with Bill Withers and Nanci Griffith, seems like a bad idea. But the album, on which the Key West hedonist performs his favorite "bar gig" songs, as he calls them, often delights. As someone who began his songwriting career in Nashville (and who's also recorded more than half his albums there), Buffett isn't just slumming, as his choice of covers (from such writers as Guy Clark, John Hiatt, Hank Williams, and Jerry Garcia) proves. What could have been little more than a lark, then, ends up being a showcase for Buffett the serious songwriter and song finder. Although he does indulge in the occasional beach-minded thong-writing, Chill is a surprisingly satisfying album aimed less at the Parrothead crowd and more toward an audience who remembers the Buffett of 30 years ago, a man who struggled to make his mark among Nashville's most revered tunesmiths. --Alanna Nash

Buffett grabbed me into his crazy little world with this one .......2007-07-01

Jimmy Buffett may be into "chilling out" more these days, but his songs on "Licence to Chill," made in collaboration with numerous talented country artists, indicate a man who is hardly resting on his musical laurels. In fact, this CD not only sparked my interest in Buffett's storied career, but it also endeared me to the genre of country-western music much more. Before this CD, my main connection with Buffett was checking out the Boat Drunks live (see the Drunks' album Wahine Man). Truthfully, I used to regard JB and his followers as little more than binge-drinking mainstream Americans whose idea of good music was what came out of the jukebox at the local Perkins restaurant. I stand corrected, though, thanks to this amazing CD.

A rousing cover of Hank Williams' "Hey Good Lookin' " (recorded with several big-named country artists) was the perfect ditty to lead off this album, but the song's carefree sound and attitude don't fully define "License to Chill." Many of these tunes take the time to reflect on life, aging, love and heartbreak. The title track, however, like the opening song, has all the reflection of a Budweiser commercial. Still, that's OK. Buffett seemed to be making some statements in creating this CD: First off, he's earned his right to chill royally, and second, he wanted to get back to his apparent country roots, which he certainly accomplished in spades.

The more mesmerizing and harmonic tunes from this CD are the slower-paced ones such as "Boats to Build" (with Alan Jackson), "Coast of Carolina," "Anything Anytime Anywhere," "Trip Around the Sun" (with Martina McBride), "Coastal Confessions" and "Sea of Heartbreak" (with George Strait), all beautiful compositions that shocked me into truly respecting Buffett's outlook and musical talent. My personal favorite from this plethora of amazing tunes is "Window on the World," a mid-tempo, down-home country song if there ever was one. On it, Buffett's voice is severely baritone (purposely hungover-sounding?), while his lyrics are candid, philosophical and resigned, but also convey a hint of mischievousness and sparkle for life. A great slide guitar and solid acoustic guitar work also enhance this most tuneful of tunes.

There's some cool, more rugged tracks as well. The confident and self-knowing "Piece of Work" (with Toby Keith), the humorous and true-to-life "Simply Complicated," and "Conky Tonkin" (with Clint Black) would each satisfy the insatiable restlessness of any true country fan. Meanwhile, bona fide Buffett fans will take heart with the album's last two songs, "Scarlet Begonias" and "Back to the Island," which are full of enough lighthearted lyrics and islandlike sounds to make one realize JB would never totally abandon the seaside fluff he's so aptly made a great living at. From slow-dancing prom songs to organic country to a rollicking good time, "License to Chill" is a fantastic piece of work from top to bottom, by a longtime musical artist who managed to erase my condescending scorn and attain my utmost respect with one fell swoop of a CD. In the end, "License to Chill" also accomplishes what it perhaps set out to do: help others enjoy life, despite its bothersome inadequacies and travails.

Escapism via Buffett.......2007-01-31

This is a great albumn to kick back with a frosty beverage and relax. If you've ever experienced a warm salty breeze and sand between your toes it'll bring back a lot of good memories too. Definately a must to take along on any trip to a warm beach somewhere.

A Bit Heavy On The Country For Me.......2006-11-15

Much to the surprise of just about everyone including Jimmy himself, Buffett makes one of the most remarkable commercial comebacks in the last few decades with the release of "License To Chill". The album became a smash hit and sat at the number one spot on the album chart for weeks, and was nominated for a Grammy. The album spawned several huge country singles including a cover of Hank Williams "Hey Good Looking" and "Trip Around The Sun" a duet with Martina McBride. I believe it is his best selling album ever. For this to happen to a performer in his late 50's is truly remarkable. The comeback actually began before the release of this album. Country crooner Alan Jackson asked Buffett to appear on the song "It's 5 O'clock Somewhere" which became a huge smash. Buffett had been mulling over the possibility of doing a pure country album and decided to strike while the iron was hot. "License" is loaded with gust appearances from a who's who list of country music stars. Clint Black, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, George Straight, Martina McBride, Bill Withers and Nancy Griffin all put in an appearance. So the question is.......is the album any good? I guess it depends on your perspective. Not being a huge fan of country music this is far from my favorite Buffett album, but it does have its moments. I tend to like his more traditional non country oriented tracks on this album the best. "Coast Of Carolina" is simply one of the best love songs he has ever written. This song really gets to the heart of his marriage and tells the history of it's ups and downs. I am not usually big on love songs but this one resonates with me for some reason. "Coastal Confessions" is a cool tune. His cover of John Hiatt's "Window On The World" works well. Another highlight for me is the cover of the Grateful Dead's "Scarlet Begonias" which I like better than the original and seems to be another perfect song for Buffett to tackle. The album closer "Back To The Island" is another nice track. Of the country stuff, "License To Chill", "Boats To Build", "Trip Around The Sun" are all good ones. When I saw Buffett in Chicago a few years ago Martina McBride came out and sang "Trip" with Buffett. She has an awesome voice. The rest of the album is ok, country fans probably like it more than I do.

To much country.......2006-11-12

This was just to much country for this parrothead. I liked one song, Piece of Work and that was about it.

Good Buffett duets.......2006-11-04

Soprano/tenor saxophonist and clarinetist Marion Meadows comes from the smooth jazz sax tradition paved by Grover Washington, Jr. and George Howard. Though his sound is not a full as those two, he makes up for it with his lyricism, which imbues the twelve tracks here. Highlights include the "down-low" quiet-storm track "Miss Know it All," with vocalist Will Brock, "Dance With My Daughter," Meadows' companion piece to Luther Vandross' "Dance With My Father,""and his engaging cover of R. Kelley's "I Believe I Can Fly." The lively "Steppers...Let's Do This" is a high-energy salute to the disco-house dance genre from Chicago. With production by keyboardists Michael Broening and Chris "Big Dog" Davis and some instrumental support from guitarists Chuck Loeb and Freddy Fox, this recording is the right fit for Marion Meadows' contemporary fans. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

great music.......2007-05-14

I love this cd! As always Marion Meadows has produced great music!

Consistant as always. .......2007-05-10

Once again the gifted marion is on top form as always. Although not as strong as previous outing "in deep", a similar musical journey, the highlights being "dance with my daughter" and the wonderful "1000 dreams".
As always Marion's art of soprano playing is head and shoulders above any current and forseeable smooth jazz sax players.

Supreme sound, engaging mood!.......2007-03-13

Among the new promises of the sax in this genre, Marion Meadows has become a figure of first order. His kaleidoscopic arrangements, memorable harmonies and brilliant display of febrile lyricism, have earned him an enviable status in this hour.

Go for this album; one of the best of the year and convince by yourself. He is one of the greatest ones of the instrument.

Meadows is the Music Man.......2007-02-19

Marion really brings home the soothing sounds on this CD. His studio recordings are great but his live performance is superb!!!

Amazing Soundtrack.......2005-09-15

I grew up listening to this soundtrack! I love it!! I even found a copy of it in my parent's basement in vinyl!!

Old School.......2005-08-26

I reminded my friends as they listened to this in my car: Old School RULES. All of these songs have staying power, and all my friends end up jammin' to oldies when I play it.

Unfulfilled promise.......2005-08-10

The mixing on some tracks is awful, and at one point, vocals are lost altogether on The Rascals track. I love this music -- the soundtrack of my college days -- so having it on one disc for traveling (I commute 50 miles round trip every day) is great, but the quality could be lots better.

Short, but great oldies soundtrack........2003-12-24

I remember listening to these songs in the 80s when I was little. I guess you could say I 'grew up' on this stuff almost as much as on 80's music itself. It's largely a Motown/Soul collection, but it's varied enough to fit more than one audience.

1) "I Heard it Through the Grapevine," Marvin Gaye -- Everybody has heard this pop/soul hit before, right? A mid tempo ballad about hearing rumors 'Through The Grapevine'. This is one of the classic breakup songs.

2) "My Girl," Temptations -- Another widely known hit that many people today even like. This is probably the defining Motown song of the era. Sunny, pop inflected R&B about being with 'My Girl' and feeling good.

3) "Good Lovin," Rascals -- We take a turn toward a fast '60s soul rocker here. A lot more upbeat than most of the other tunes, and a great addition.

4) "Tracks of my Tears," Smokey Robinson -- Things slow way down again with this happy sounding, reflective soul ballad.

5) "Joy To the World," Three Dog Night -- Yet another classic rocker. This time, a mid tempo tune, and the closest thing to a party song.

6) "Ain't Too Proud To Beg," Temptations -- The group has their 2nd hit here, this one a bit more uptempo and more vocal.

7) "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman," Aretha Franklin -- Even though I'm not a big AR fan, I have to like this soulful ballad. Almost a precursor to 80's pop/soul artists like Whitney Houston.

8) "I Second That Emotion," Smokey -- Yes, Mr. Robinson also strikes twice, with an ever better tune. This fun, uptempo pop hit has a definate summertime feel to it. You'd have to be a fool to not love it.

9) "Whiter Shade of Pale," Procul Harem -- Another change in style with this extremely unique rock ballad. It's a bit hard to describe if you haven't heard it, but it's an organ heavy tale of, what sounds like, sailors at sea at a restaurant. Strange as it sounds, this is a great track. Don't skip it!

10) "Tell Him," Exciters -- The last song here is another upbeat 60's girl group soulful pop ditty. It's certainly not bad, but probably my least favorite of the bunch.

All in all, a very fun, quality reminder of why much of today's music s**ks. The absence of more rock tracks, and the repeated artists bring it down to a very narrow 4 stars. The music itself is worth 5, though.

Maybe the Stones wouldn't cough up the rights........2001-10-30

Could be my memory's faulty. Could be the Stones wouldn't give the rights to the label. But don't I remember the movie starting out rolling a coffin down the aisle to the wistful cynicism of Jagger's scratchy tenor complaint, "You Can't Always Get What You Want". To prove the literal truth of the lyrics, the song isn't in either soundtrack.
What else are we missing?!

Viennese trippers Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister fry up beats like a fine Wiener schnitzel. With crisp percussion, tender melodies, and subtle bass flavor, they more than know their way around the production kitchen. Take the remix skills of these two chefs de musique; add a dash of fresh electronic ingredients, including Roni Size, Rockers Hi-Fi, David Holmes, Alex Reece, and others; run it through a beats processor; and you have one sumptuous and definitely not calorie-free meal. Tastier sound bites can be sampled during the Roni Size "Heroes" course, as K&D strip down and reconstruct a new and improved recipe for downtempo soul. Lip-smacking good. --Daniel Shumate

Album Description

Now available at a much lower price! The trip-hop production duo of Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister has gained more fame for its stellar remixes and DJ sets than as producers of its own work. By engineering, reworking and remixing tracks by a cast of artists including Depeche Mode, William Orbit, Bomb the Bass, Lamb, Roni Size, David Holmes, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and United Future Organization, the Austrian duo became one of the most respected names in the dance/electronica community. This 2 CD set is an essential title for any music library!

Timeless classic.......2007-05-03

Going back and listening to this album again while at work today, I was struck by the fact that this album hasn't faded or become irrelevant even eight years after it's release. Listening to the K&D sessions with a set of headphones on in a darkened room transports one instantly to some kind of uber-hip underwater lounge - they rework every one of the disparate tracks in the mix to conform to their sound - frequently crafting entirely new bass, melody and harmony lines and chopping vocals to fit their signature smoky, lush sound. It was my favorite album for years - and I'm surprised to find that it's still as amazing.

EXQUISITE MUSIC.......2007-04-24

I LOVE THESE CD's, really classy and trendy sounds at the same time, sublime !! Sofisticated music perfect for anything but dancing.
One of my all time favourites along with The Mirror Conspiracy by Thievery Corporation wich is exquisite as well.

Classic!.......2007-03-21

I first got turned on to Kruder & Dorfmeister about a year after thier first EP, "G-Stoned" (1995) came out and was blown away! Then came thier double CD opus "The K&D Sessions". Once again, I was not dissapointed. This is perhaps best listened to with the lights dimmed, and a good pair of headphones, or on a nice soundsystem with a subwoofer. When you get to the Dub mix of "Bug Powder Dust" you'll know what I mean!
If you've recently gotten into the downtempo "scene" with Zero 7 & Thievery Corporation etc., then you have to pick this up.

a moment ago, I placed an order .......2007-03-13

Thanks to a dear woman called Beata Bubori (hmmm...where is she nowadays, I wonder. Must be very busy) I was introduced to just one single from the album: a special remix of Depeche Mode, "Useless".
Did I like it, you ask. Well, I don't know; however, a moment ago, I placed an order saying "bill my card". You'd be the judge.

another review on K&D Sessions.......2007-02-06

Since so many people have written reviews, let me just say that along with various records by Aphex Twin, this is my all time favorite remix album.

I love many types of music but this along with Gotham Project is about the best electronic music that I have heard. (Of course, I might prefect Varese but that is music from long ago.)

Evidentally I have to write more since Amazon does not want to accept this review. Let's see, I could talk about each track but many have already done that or I could compare it to Suzuki or other remixes by Dorfmeister.

I like Suzuki a lot but prefer these sessions. I don't know much about Kruder but could do a search.

Writer/director Lawrence Kasdan's The Big Chill was one of Hollywood's first forays into baby-boomer navel-gazing, an examination of 60's idealism gone sour during the subsequent selfish excesses of the Me Decade and Go-Go 80's. It's Motown classics-dominated score became both a commercial sensation and generational touchstone, facets that often overlooked its status as one of the most artistically skillful pop song scores ever set to a film. This deluxe two CD edition won't defuse any of the often overweening nostalgia that's been its hallmark. Indeed, this slip-cased, expanded set (which includes the 1983 album's complete original track listing, as well as that of its 1984 sequel, More Songs From the Big Chill) often seems to relish in them on the new classic-rock dominated second disc, Bigger Chill: Music of a Generation. The second disc's tracks (which span more Motown, and a gamut from James Brown to Lesley Gore) are "inspired" by the film and not in it, but should more than please those enthralled by the original collection. Also included are previously unavailable instrumental versions of the Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want," Bert Kaempfert's "Strangers in the Night" and the mock TV "J.T. Lancer" theme, tracks that were the film's only "traditional" scoring touches. --Jerry McCulley

Fantastic Songs by Fantastic Artists.......2007-03-10

This is truly one of the best soundtracks ever compiled for a movie. Every song is a classic, with both power as a standalone song as well as meaning within the timeline of the movie. "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum is one of those songs that still sends chills through me when I hear it.

Aretha Franklin sends power and strength through her rendition of "You Make Me Feel like a Natural Woman" - while The Temptations lay it all on the line with "Ain't Too Proud to Beg". You've got the sweet songs of "My Girl", the happy-go-lucky songs of "Good Lovin'" and "Joy to the World", and much more.

These were songs that inspired a whole generation of new songmakers, and for good reason. They had great lyrics, intricate harmonies, and melodies that worked their way into your heart.

Highly recommended! These are great to listen to as a set, to capture the essence of an era, as well as working into your other playlists you have, as cornerstones for groups of a variety of song types.

Love it ! !.......2007-01-05

All the music is great and being a teen in the 60s brought back some good memories.

A review from New Zealand.......2005-09-27

Even though i am too young to have experienced these songs when they were first released, they are classics that will never die. What a great collection, that has all of the songs from the movie plus others that follow along the same themes.
Definitely worth the price (even when you take into account currency conversion and freight costs to New Zealand!!)
I haven't stopped playing it since it arrived.

The original plus more.......2005-08-18

I had the original soundtrack, but typically there were several songs missing. This one has EVERYTHING on the movie and a few bonus cuts. There's hardly a song on here that isn't great. Well, the JT Lancer theme...

A Great Big Deluxe 2CD "INCOMPLETE" set...........2004-04-01

As many of you know, the original soundtrack was split into 2 separate CDs - Soundtrack to Big Chill and More Songs from Big Chill. I was annoyed years ago when I discovered I could actually compile every song heard in this movie - including the Stones' "Can't Always Get What you Want" - into a single CD, while Motown decided it was a good idea at the time to make consumers pay for 2 CDs instead of one by adding a bunch of songs that were not even in the movie. So now that they have a chance to redeem themselves, why is Motown releasing a 2CD "Deluxe" set that is still missing a vital track from the "More Songs" soundtrack such as Quicksilver Girl? I can understand copyright issues with the Rolling Stones' song, which was probably why it was left off the original soundtrack, but Quicksilver Girl was on the "More songs" soundtrack! I think the song list on the new Deluxe package is good, but the omission of 2 of the key songs that actually appeared in the movie was disappointing and dropped this review a couple of stars. That having been said, I still bought this set. Guess I'm just a sucker for repackages!

Album Description

From the co-creator of ENIGMA !

Highly acclaimed co-producer and guitarist of the multi-platinum group Enigma, Jens Gad brings you a spellbinding downtempo musical odyssey into the ancient mythology of his Scandinavian homeland. He is joined by the entrancing classical vocals of Helene Horlyck, to co-create a sophisticated and hypnotic chill-out journey through "The Nine Worlds" of archaic legend. At once stirring and calming, entertaining yet relaxing, Achillea achieves a vibrantly new and hauntingly beautiful musical vision that artfully blends evocative ambient New Age atmospheres with European dance club electronica. Achillea elegantly weaves the mystery of ancient myth - a world of seers, elves, and rune masters, into a lush, richly layered sonic landscape with velvety melodies of delicately bluesy guitar playing, slow sensuous grooves and silky smooth vocals sung in Latin and ancient Swedish. Both intimate and cinematic, this uniquely transcendent masterpiece is full of deep beauty and mysterious wonder that will nourish your soul.

"Achillea is the new project for producer/guitarist Jens Gad, co-producer, co-writer and one of the central creative forces behind popular group Enigma (alongside Michael Cretu). For his first solo project, Gad presents an atmospheric album of tunes themed after Danish myth. Enigma fans should definitely take note, as there are many common denominators between both groups: the same laid-back "Enigma-style" beats, Gregorian chant, whispery vocals and Gad's signature electric guitar. Achillea differs by offering an album steeped in dreamy ambience. This album slower paced and more ethereal, making it better suited for the mind than the dance floor. Adding to the appeal is the wispy, sensual vocals of singer Helene Horlyck, who sings on many of the tracks. Serene, slightly trippy and sure to bring on a bout of Enigma nostalgia, this is a must for worldbeat/chill music fans." - Music Design In Review

Customer Reviews:

Austerity and beauty all mesh on "The Nine Worlds"........2007-02-11

I was entranced by the debut release by artist Achillea. To my peasant surprise, I leanred that it is also a side project of Enigma's guitarist and in terms of side-projects, Achillea is almost as good as Enigma.

The debut album has a similar trademark to Enigma's album but the tracks stand out altogether with beauties like "Odin's Hill", "The Garden if Lisfaraine" and "Seeres Prophecy". Overall, "The Nine Worlds" is almost like a sequel to Enigma's third album from more than a decade ago.

This is highly recommended.

Ambience Spectacular!.......2006-11-27

I am a big fan of early Enigma and having found a first solo release by co-producer of Enigma's Jens Gad, I decided to purchase this release from Amazon.com. Jens is a superb handler of the guitar and it was a pleasure to hear his contributions on Enigma especially on 'Cross Of Changes' and the song 'Turn Around'. But it is good and fitting to see his first solo album be released, and whilst there is alot of similarity with Enigma, he brings to his album a more reflective, softer ambient driven sound that is both spiritual and refreshing. It is a nice chill-out album.

'Achilles' provides sweet and sensual beats with gregorian chants, soft guitar rifts, and a ethno-flavoured landscape. It should be noted that both Jens and his singer Helene are danish and this album is fashioned after numerous Danish folklore. Therefore you expect Danish lyrics and you do get a mixture of Latin and Danish with some English mixed in. All in all the mix is beautifully orchestrated and well-done.

The 12 tracks on this albums offers the listener pure music bliss, and it will take you on a journey that is much needed and is soul nourishing. There is no need to go through each track. This album will mean different things to all people who listen to it. Open your mind, have a open opinion and enjoy. I have and still do.

Pretty nice music, a little bit short of Enigma........2006-11-22

It's quite nice, althought definitely not an Enigma, the female voice is beautiful, but quite monotonous all across most of the songs. Still a good addition to one's New Age sound collection.

If you liked Enigma's "Cross of Changes"..........2006-11-14

Only now that I've heard The Nine Worlds do I appreciate how significant Jens Gad's influence was on the sound of Cross of Changes-era Enigma. The guitar style from that album's "I Love You, I'll Kill You" permeates, but never dominates this album, and I love it. The synth-based writing and arrangement styles are familiar as well. The title track, "The Nine Worlds," is something of a sonic "missing link" between the two albums, with a touch of chant, tablas, and a guitar sound one step closer to "I Love You, I'll Kill You" than the rest of this album.

The first Achillea song I heard was "Cape Porcupine". It remains my favorite song from the album, and is representative of what you'll hear throughout The Nine Worlds. Helene Horlyck's vocal stylings are featured on over half of the album's tracks, and she shares writing credits on those. Her high end is somewhat breathy, and has a piercing edge that frustrates my appreciation of her contributions, but the lower end of her range is beautifully smooth. "Othila - The Rune Masters" is a welcome exception, which I can only attribute to its guest writer/producer, John Tonks.

The Nine Worlds is a great listen for a bit, but there isn't enough variety to make it a really great album. I'm perfectly happy to listen to the whole thing passively, but when I'm listening actively, I typically only get through the first five or six songs ("Odin's Hill" is a highlight I never skip) before changing CDs. I would expect your affinity for The Cross of Changes to be a good indicator of how much you'll like The Nine Worlds.

Austere Ethereal Beauty.......2006-08-30

This album needs a few listens to allow its true beauty to unfold.
If you are after the lush percussive sensory smorgasboard of Enigma , you will be disappointed.

Put aside your preconceptions and open your mind to the pure spare instrumental arrangements accompanied beautifully by Helene Horlyks sublime ethereal vocals . Everything is pared back to a delightful minimalism that sometimes sounds so spacious that the songs seem otherworldly.

Definitely a match to the other great works of Delerium, Enigma , Amethystium etc

Album Description

Previously, Sessions Volume 1 was only available to fans attending Rick's concerts. Sessions Volume 1 is the first of a series of releases where the emphasis is on fun and spontaneity, elements sometimes missing in the studio culture but in no short supply on the performing stage. This is recorded in mostly one take with little or no editing or overdubs as evidenced by the "notes of character" here and there. The repertoire is drawn from Rick's greatest hits including "Grazing in the Grass" from the hit cd Shake it Up, and fan favorites "Notorious," "Nightwalk" and "Coolsville." Certainly an unexpected highlight is Rick's emotional vocal on "Love Will Find a Way."

Our new DEMO CD!.......2006-11-23

This CD was recorded at a 96K sampling rate. It sounds better than any CD we have tested in the last 3 years. The sonic clarity is astounding. The bass is clear, precise and very powerful. We've replaced the DTS recording of the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over with this CD for all of our in-home demos because it's the 1st disc that has sounded better. We are Home Entertainment System designers and we HIGHLY recommend "Rick Braun... Sessions, Volume 1".

Great Music, from Start to Finish! .......2006-09-22

This CD is filled with great oldies tunes from start to finish. If you like oldies, BUY THIS CD!!! For those of you who would like more music from the motion picture, buy The Big Chill Deluxe Edition, which is a 2-disc set with 19 hits. Great music, I can't say enough about this CD.

The Big Chill.......2003-04-01

If I can't buy the cd with ALL THE SONGS that were played in the movie then I won't buy it. I know one cd could cover the entire movie so why can't this be done? Does it concern copy rights and releases?

A CD I Can Leave On.......2002-06-20

Now THAT's an ultimate complement. The CD's you can let play, and you don't have to flip to any particular song, because, guess what, they're ALL fantastic! In addition, the movie was fantastic, so I think remembering the movie kind of helps me along when I'm listening. However, seen the movie or not, this is a great soundtrack and it's fun to listen to, while you're cleaning, lying around, or even throwing a party. I highly recommend; enjoy!

Where are the other missing songs?.......2001-05-21

I have seen the movie and I know that there are more songs than even these. What happened to Gimme Some Lovin and You Can't Always Get What You Want by the Rolling Stones. Just to name a few songs that are missing. I wish it could have been a complete soundtrack it owuld have worth spending the money.

Great 60's music!.......2000-05-28

I bought this many years ago when it came out. What's not to love about "Wouldn't It Be Nice?" "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "What's Going On"? The rest are okay, too. This is a good compilation of 60's music, possibly better than the first Big Chill soundtrack.

After making his name with Tower of Power and the Yellowjackets, Scottish-born saxophonist Richard Elliot made the transition to smooth jazz with much success. On this, his 11th album as a leader, Elliot stays true to the sound that has won him so many fans. Snaking his lush and friendly sax between mostly midtempo beats, Elliot dusts his warm tone with just the slightest hints of soul and funk. A vocal track with Siedah Garrett and a guest spot by Rick Braun add to the album's pleasing diversity. --S. Duda

If you love Contemporary Jazz, this is for you!! ;).......2006-02-27

I love this CD! All the songs are great and seem to flow together. Richard Elliot really knows how to touch the soul with his music. Enjoy!

to the person below me..........2005-01-29

the reason why you can't copy this CD is because it is a 24 bit SACD! you CAN NOT downconvert the format into standard 16 bit (CD audio) without a converter! It DOES NOT matter if they are hybrid or straight SACD's. They will all do this for the most part. DO NOT blame this on the CD manufacturer!

BTW... the CD is outstanding as well.

CD recorded so that you can't rerecord it........2004-11-20

I like the music on this CD. This Could Be Real and Mikayla's Smile are my favorites. HOWEVER - when I tried to add this album to my mini disc collection - IT WOULD NOT RECORD. I paid full list price for a new CD. I expected to be able to listen to this music as I choose. I CANNOT. I will never buy another CD that is advertised as "HYBRID SACD". This one had no warnings or advisements on the Amazon web page. If you think that paying full list price for new merchandise should get you a CD that you can use in any format that you choose - LET EVERYONE ELSE KNOW - This isn't one of them. I support musicians and really love what they give to us. This type of thing does no one any good. Keep enjoying good music.

Not a ENKO but a love affair.......2004-05-17

The jacket reminds me of the love affair I had with a certain woman last year in a fashonable city hotel.The mood is right for lovers.The saxman RICHARD,who was once the member of the TOP,blows his sax like a SUMO wrestler.In other words , he blows fiery and passionately and erotically.RICHARD isn't very popular in JAPN,because he is not very handsome.Japan is the good-looking conscious country.That's why I push RICHARD strongly.It is the content that counts.Keep pushing ,RICHARD.Woman needs sax just like you do.Richard always gives off saxuality.MUFUFU.

GREAT CD.......2003-10-11

If you want a contemp. jazz cd that you can put in at night and just "Chill" this is the cd to get. Right from the first track you will be put in the mood for a relaxing time. This is a cd you can play for a romantic evening or for a calm party. I own 12 of Richard Elliot's cd's and this is the one I would recommend the most. After that "On The Town" and "Richocet" tie, but those two have a more uptempo tracks compared to this one. This cd is a must have!!!!
