In choosing to cover the music of John Dowland (1563-1626), who is known as the "melancholy madrigalist" from his output of cheerful ditties like "Flow My Tears," Police bandleader Sting has entered into a whole new realm of austere eeriness. Originally inspired by the gift of a lute, the rock superstar and activist sings the songs, deliciously sweet and tender or spirited by turn, accompanying himself, with Edin Karamazov sitting on lute and archlute. For listeners accustomed to hearing material of this period interpreted by rigorously trained early music stylists, especially countertenors and the like, Sting's sometimes tight-jawed, chest-heavy vocals may seem amateurish. It's undeniable that in four-part harmonies, the singer, tightly overdubbed, comes across like a combination of the Swingle Singers and Queen (meaning Freddy Mercury and crew, NOT the first Elizabeth). But it's important to remember that music of this period was routinely heard as a casual diversion in private homes, even more often than at Court. It was considered a crucial social skill to be able to join in with an adequate degree of skill, but not everyone was able to negotiate the perilous melodic twists and turns typical of the era's music. With this in mind, the overall effect is of a candle-lit, postprandial entertainment in the home of an English gentleman. Muttered readings from Dowland's letters and brief snippets of sampled birdsong aside, it is a courageous effort, displaying heartfelt admiration for the composer and a considerable degree of earnest charm. --Christina Roden

Album Description

StingÂ's Songs From The Labyrinth is an album of 17th century music composed by John Dowland and performed on the lute, an ancient acoustic guitar. After being given a lute nearly two years ago as a gift, Sting became fascinated and immersed himself with the instrument and the history of lute music. Reminded of his almost 25 year long enthrallment with the works of John Dowland, the Elizabethan composer who wrote songs for the lute, Sting has recorded a new album of vocal and lute music. All songs were composed by Dowland in the 17th century, but have been given new life in these fresh new recordings by Sting. Sting not only sings all the songs (accompanied by leading lutenist Edin Karamasov, who appears on two Andreas Scholl albums), but also plays lute on two instrumental duets with Edin and reads short extracts from a fascinating autobiographical letter by Dowland. Sting has also written a brilliant account of the album's genesis, along with notes on the individual tracks, which serves as the CD booklet.

great CD.......2007-07-23

As usual, this is a great STING's cd. Wonderful music and interpretation. Its amazin these songs were written on the 16 century.
I will completely recomend anyone this CD.

Very disappointing.......2007-07-19

As we all know, the music of John Dowland is lovely. When played by Paul Odette or Julian Bream it is exquisite. However, this production is almost depressing. Sting's gravelly voice finally grated on me and I probably won't play this again. The lute performance is mediocre also. The best song is that which they use to promote the album. Pass on this one.

*sigh*.......2007-07-16

I am a lutenist myself, who had experience as both a rock guitarist and a classically trained clarinetist before also picking up the lute. I have a great love for Dowland that comes from years of playing his songs myself as well as hearing great musicians (like Paul O'Dette) play them. And this CD makes me sad.

In a way, it doesn't surprise me that Sting would do this. For years now he's been trying to gain cred in the classical music world (I have a 1988 recording of him doing Stravinsky's A Soldier Tale that delighted me when I was 16 and musically ignorant, but now makes my eyes roll into the back of my head). What upsets me is he had to do something that's initimately important to me as a musician. The is problem is that when it comes this kind of music, as others have said, he IS an amatuer, and all his heavy-handed, juvenile earnesty and clumsy, misplaced intensity just drains out all the joy I would normally experience from these songs. Moreover, he's voice isn't merely "untrained" - it's *shot* from years of strain caused by bad "rock" vocal technique. It's just pitiful to listen to in such an exposed context. If you think this is how these songs ought to be intrepreted, you're sadly mistaken.

There are people who would call Sting a "pop genius, " laud him and hand him all sort of impressive looking awards and honors, but this is the music of a real genius, someone who knew not just how to write lyrics that hit home with his audience, but as how to compose songs with unparallel grace, form and sophistication in an idiosyncratic style that bridged convention and innovation. And Sting simply cannot do Dowland's music justice. He just doesn't have the chops or the insight. It's great he's supposedly "studied" this music and that he wrote lengthy, flowery liner notes, but did he really need to record this CD for any reason that his own self-satisfaction? It's far too obvious he hasn't done the same level of groundwork of countless Early Music musicians who don't do this a hobby or avocation from political causes or high-profile celebrity, but as their sole passion. Why couldn't he simply support those musicians, without trying to grab some spotlight for himself? Having a decent lutenist as a sidekick just isn't enough to pull him up from his amatuerly, self-important bog, either. Frankly, he just doesn't get it, and at this stage, I don't think he will.

Early music lovers don't need someone like Sting to bring this music to us - we've been doing just fine without him because we have so many other, really wonderful musicians around to keep this music alive. Someone else recommended Nigel Rogers and Paul O'Dette, and I would gladly recommend them over this celebrity-fuel nonsense as well. Yes these are both musicians with academic backgrounda, but that doesn't mean they are academic musicians - far from it. They just have to hold down teaching positions and do master classes because they don't have a pop career to play the bills. Musicially and professionally, they're what Early Music musicians ought to be - dedicated, educated, passionate and yet they don't have any need to take themselves this deathly seriously.

Elizabethan Music.......2007-07-12

This is the audio component of an hour long video made by Sting on the work of Elizabethan composer John Dowland. (The video does adds greatly to the value as it places the music against the background and age (16th C) for which it was written.) Sting's voice is light tenor and right for these poems set to music about everlasting human concerns that persist to our day. But you'll not see those wonderful lutes that accompany the words, so complex to play with a beauty of sound not heard today. Between his music Sting gives an excellent spoken commentary to complete an attractive presentation of esoteric classical music with a modern undertone.

Vibe shift.......2007-07-10

Why bother? Still would like to say i love the 'shift' it takes to get into this music and how i (and my home) feel when i've enter this rather rarified realm of listening.

Too many soundtracks feel interchangeable, and rare are the composers who really capture a movie's core. But Javier Navarrete has succeeded in his Oscar-nominated score for Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, a dark fantasy set in 1944 Spain. The first cue, "Long, Long Time Ago," sets the melancholy tone with piano and voice; the spectral piano pops up several more times, and the theme is more fully developed in "Mercedes Lullaby." But it's the second track, the aptly titled "The Labyrinth," that really gives the listener insight into the movie's tenebrous universe. While Navarrete can certainly do short, intimate pieces dotted with telling arrangements (like the few trumpet notes adding a subtle Spanish flavor to "Rose, Dragon"), he excels on the longer tracks, such as "Not Human," which goes through a succession of moods, each one increasingly scary, without ever going overboard into cheap, demonstrative effects. Navarrete has already had a long career as a film scorer in Spain, and this won't be the last American audiences hear from him. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

A beautiful film score.......2007-07-26

PAN'S LABYRINTH is one of the best films I have seen in the past five years. The blending of fantasy with the ugliness of reality really captured my heart. One of the reasons was because of Javier Navarrete's gorgeous film score. The melody of the score is based on the lullaby that Mercedes sings to Ophelia when she has to move to a separate room away from her mother who is put on bed rest. The music flows effortlessly together. Javier's excellent compositions reminds me of John Williams and Hans Zimmer but more subtle and not so loud and bombastic during the intense scenes. I don't know if PAN'S LABYRINTH would have been as good if the director had gone with another composer. Javier's music really captured the essence of the film whether the scenes were treading in the brutal reality of the Spanish civil war or in the fantasy world of the faun. I hope that after the success of PAN'S LABYRINTH, the public will be hearing more from Javier Navarrete. His work in the Guillermo del Toro film is simply one of the best film scores I have heard in the past decade.

Evocative, atmospheric... beautiful.......2007-07-22

This is the best soundtrack I have heard in a very, very long time. The film itself is a perfect joining of image and music, and this CD perfectly captures one half of it--I can't watch the movie without noticing the music, and I can't listen to this CD without thinking of the movie. That's the way it should be.

Establishing a simple, repeated lullaby early on, Javier Navarrete's entire score builds on this tune, exporing deeper, darker, and ever more complex tunes with every track before returning to the simple melody at the end.

This CD includes musical cues not actually used in the film, although after repeated viewings of the film and listening to the soundtrack dozens of times, I'm hard-pressed to tell you which are which. The music--all of it--is so beautiful that the listener is almost immediately lost in the world it evokes. And even at nearly an hour and fourteen minutes, the music rarely repeats itself and never gets old.

An excellent companion piece for anyone who enjoyed the movie or anyone who loves beautiful music. Highly recommended.

Wow.....I am speechless.......2007-07-06

I hardly can find the words to describe this music. Beautiful. Haunting and absolutely stirring. That is just the tip of the iceberg. I found the film itself, in it's own way, a great film but the music is what gave the film its ability to communicate with the viewer. My only regret is that the CD is not necessarily a CD to take a nap too. There are a few tracks that seem to keep me awake, making them great in their own way. But the music of Pan's Labrynth is some of the best music ever written for a film. Full of beautiful lullabies, dark, haunting brass and strings, and majestic, sweeping and imagination-driving moments. A must own CD. An ABSOLUTE must.

Intricate Simplicity.......2007-06-12

The movie was great, even though it was in Spanish the soundtrack pulled everything together for me. The music is simplistic in its melodies yet conveys deep emotions. I love to listen to it to relax or just for something different. I think it is one of the best scores I have ever heard.

Beautiful and Melodious.......2007-06-09

Many use the word "haunting" to describe the music on this CD, and that is certainly true. It compliments the movie wonderfully and leaves quite the impression. I found my emotions on a rollercoaster, from soothed and comforted to pensive to apprehensive, as each composition played through. I thought it all masterfully composed and unlike anything I've heard. I give it a solid recommendation.

Customer Reviews:

It's Only Forever.......2007-06-21

The first time I saw The Labyrinth I was 7 or 8, probably 1987/88 Rotterdan, on tv and it really blew me away. It has a fairytale quality, a beautiful world of make-believe, truly wonderful. Years later, 2006 I went to the local fantasy shop (which has unfortunately moved from Rotterdam to Delft), saw the special DVD box with special drawing cards inside and bought it then and there. In that very same year I also bought the soundtrack.

While the "Opening Title" transports you to The Labyrinth, "Into The Labyrinth" makes you want to walk inside and be lost forever.
"As the World falls down" and "Within You" are both beautiful and haunting, showing Jareth's desperation and (maybe) love for Sarah.
"The Gobling Battle" is a blast, "Home at last" makes one feels like it is a preparation for the BIG Party in "Underground".

Electronic but fantastikal.......2007-06-05

It has some moody pieces, but also some bright. I still think David Bowie would have made a good Vampire Lestat. He was an excellent Goblin King.

Great 80's music from a fun 80's movie.......2007-05-27

David Bowie's soundtrack from the movie is pretty much what you expect: if you've seen the movie Labyrinth, you've heard the soundtrack. As a longtime fan of the film and an unabashed child of the '80's, I still enjoy it. I only wish they'd included a lyrics sheet.

LABYRINTH IS NOT JUST FOR WOMEN.......2007-05-24

I have to disagree with the first reviewer of this film/soundtrack. This movie/soundtrack appeals to EVERYONE'S fantasies and imagination. The Soundtrack is amazing as is the movie. Entertaining to anyone wether it be male or female. David Bowie is amazing and proofs it in this soundtrack.

Why the rejected version of Dance Magic?.......2007-05-14

They used the rejected version of Dance Magic, wich can be seen as an extra in the DVD release. After hearing it, I can understand why they opted not to use it in the movie. It would have been nice if they'd added BOTH versions of the song on the disc, seeing as it has few songtracks & has both versions of Underground. To this day, aside from maybe 3 other songs he sang in the early 80s, this is the best music I've ever heard from David Bowie. (Does his face age at all? He looks just as young today.....)

Recorded at St. Luke's Cathedral in London, The Journey and the Labyrinth continues Sting and lute player Edin Karamazov's exploration of the music of John Dowland. The bulk of this material first appeared on 2006's Songs from the Labyrinth. Performed live and placed in a setting concurrent with the life of the 16th-century composer, the songs feel tied to their origins in profound ways. The grand room's ambiance is made apparent with the reverberating applause at the close of each selection. The closing two numbers show how this 400-year-old music has aspects very much in sync with relatively contemporary works. Both Robert Johnson's "Hellhound on My Trail" and Sting's own Police hit "Message in a Bottle" utilize crisply delineated melodies and spare but robust accompaniment. A DVD is included in the set, as well. Elegantly produced, it not only offers the live performance featured on the CD, but also provides Sting's own thoughtfully articulated connections to this still vibrantly romantic music. --David Greenberger

Album Description

On the heels of his acclaimed recording, Songs from the Labyrinth, Sting furthers his fascination with Elizabethan composer John Dowland (1563-1626) on The Journey and the Labyrinth: The Music of John Dowland. This new DVD/CD package includes an extended version of Sting's first-ever PBS special from Thirteen/WNET New York's Great Performances (airing February 26th, 2007), as well as a live bonus audio CD.

Sting recently released the striking CD Songs from the Labyrinth, which introduced audiences to his passion for Dowland. With an astounding thirteen weeks and counting as Billboard's #1 Traditional Classical album, the record, called "vivid and romantic" by the Wall Street Journal, has resonated with Sting and Dowland aficionados alike. The album also captured the top spot on the classical charts not only in the U.S. but also in England, Canada, France and Germany.

The Journey and the Labyrinth: The Music of John Dowland, directed and produced by the Emmy-award winning team Jim Gable and Ann Kim of Graying & Balding, Inc., delves deeper into Sting's relationship with the sixteenth-century figure, who has captivated generations with his songs composed primarily for lute, which Sting tackles along with esteemed lutenist Edin Karamazov. Filmed appropriately at Lake House, Sting's 16-century manor house in Wiltshire, and in the ancient gardens of Il Palagio, his home in Italy, the DVD also features the performers before a live audience at St. Luke's Church in London.

Interspersed between performances of such timeless Dowland songs such as "Can She Excuse My Wrongs," "Come Again," and "Flow My Tears," are discussions with musicologists David Pinto and Anthony Rooley of the composer's place in music history and his relevance today, plus recitations by Sting from Dowland's personal correspondence.

In a rare live appearance performing Dowland's music, Sting and Karamazov's concert at St. Luke's Church in London was also captured as a live audio recording and serves as the bonus CD included in the package. Featuring selections from Labyrinth, the CD also contains the consummate hit "Message in a Bottle" arranged for lute, as well as a rendition of the Robert Johnson blues classic, "Hell Hound."

Surprisingly enjoyable...........2007-05-21

I have been a Sting/Police fan since my youth, and I have to admit - I was very skeptical when I first heard about this latest venture from Sting. After hearing some of the tracks, the disc began to grow on me. The DVD is the highlight here. Beautifully photographed, and intelligently produced. The performances in and around Sting's Tuscan villa are breathtaking. The live performances are nice as well. Very little was known about this John Dowland man, but he seems to have been quite the character. I'm glad I added this to my collection.

The Journey & The Labyrinth.......2007-05-13

The album was just fantastic! Very different from Sting's usual music. He should do more of it.

To buy or not to buy, that is the question.......2007-04-24

When I was younger, I went on a wine-appreciation course. The first thing I was told was: "Don't let snobs dictate your taste to you: if you like chilled red wine with fish, *drink* chilled red wine with fish!"

Over the years, I have found this to be good advice, and not just about wine.

70 years ago, Andrés Segovia played the Bach Chaconne for the first time in Paris. He said "I could measure my success by the rage of the violinists." But the guitarists didn't care. Nowadays Bach on the guitar is commonplace.

50 years ago, lutenists criticised Julian Bream for playing their instrument like a guitar. He said "It's my job to blow the dust off these things."

It always miffs insiders when an outsider comes along and brings their speciality to a new audience, even though they may publicly applaud him for doing so: it will be a lucky outsider who doesn't get stick for not doing things the "correct" way.

So the Amazon (and other) reviewers of "Songs from the Labyrinth" fall (for the most part) into two camps: Early Music buffs, and Sting fans. As I joined the Lute Society in 1973, and reviewed Early Music for several years, I suppose I must be considered to fall more into the former category than the latter.

But, it seems to me that all the discussion of "authenticity", impassioned and learnèd though it may be, is irrelevant. The only important questions are: Has the performer made a serious attempt to understand what's going on in the music? and Does he bring something fresh to it?

In Sting's case, the answer is clearly Yes to both. And that said, the only other thing of importance is whether you like the result.

I do like it, and I'm glad to see I'm not alone, even among us old fogeys. And with music samples and now video samples available on-line, you don't have to play guessing games to know whether you will too.

The DVD
======

Over and above the value of the music, the DVD is very well put together. There are songs, lute music, anecdotes and historical discussions, all skilfully and entertainly intercut, and each complete in itself but not so long that the attention of the newcomer will start to wander. You can see Edin trying not to laugh when Tony Rooley and David Pinto almost get into an argument. And the whole thing is visually gorgeous. My favourite bit is where Sting fissions into four and sings a quartet with himself, sitting around a table.

By the way, there are a couple of "in" jokes that may go over the heads of those new to this music:

Sting ribs Edin about giving him the hard part in the anonymous lute duet "Le Rossignol"; in fact, the two parts are virtually identical, one being an echo of the other, merely four bars "out of phase".

More subtle is the somewhat unexpected appearance of "Hellhound on my Trail", which is of course by the noted blues singer Robert Johnson murdered in 1938 (but somehow copyright 1990, it says here). Another Robert Johnson, also a lutenist (and son of that John Johnson whose vacated position Dowland failed to secure at the court of Elizabeth I), was one of Dowland's colleagues at the court of James I. He was the composer of "Have You Seen the Bright Lily Grow", so the DVD contains works by two different Robert Johnsons.

Lutenists will be interested to note that Edin Karamazov plays (right hand) thumb under, although Dowland himself switched in mid-life from thumb-under to thumb-over -- presumably for what seemed to him to be good reasons. He is clearly a fine player with a great deal of facility, but I feel obliged to say that his Dowland Fantasy (P. 6, for those that are interested) seems to me a bit of a mess. Don't take my word for it; you already know Anthony Rooley, and his version is on Renaissance Fantasias. It's also on disc 8 of his mammoth 12-disc set, with his wife (the famous singer Emma Kirkby) and The Consort of Musicke: Dowland -- The Collected Works. Here are some more versions for comparison:

Christopher Wilson: Rosa
Julian Bream: Lute Music from the Royal Courts of Europe
Jakob Lindberg: Dowland -- Complete Solo Lute Music


Where to go from here
================

The person who spearheaded the revival of interest in Dowland, and the lute in general, was Julian Bream. No one ever breathed more life into this music, and if you're new to the lute, you can't go wrong with his recordings, many of which are still available.

On the other hand, if Sting is your thing, Bream's Dowland songs with Sir Peter Pears are unlikely to be. Nevertheless, you can hear them on Heavenly Love, Earthly Joy.

Of Bream's successors, one of his personal favourites certainly seems to be Nigel North: you can read Sir Julian's glowing tribute on Nigel's website. Only two volumes of Dowland's music by Nigel have so far appeared, though: (Vol. 1) & (Vol. 2).

The complete lute music is available from Jakob Lindberg (mentioned above) and from Paul O'Dette (Complete Lute Works -- also as individual discs), two of my personal favourite players. If you liked "Le Rossignol", you will certainly enjoy them together on English Lute Duets.

The acknowledged authority on Dowland in her day was the late Diana Poulton. She is the author of the standard biography (Faber & Faber, ISBN 0-520-04687-0), and also editor of the Collected Lute Music (Faber Music, ISBN 0-571-10024-4).

The Lute
======

Lute sales have quadrupled, says the Lute Society. If you're thinking "well, I can play the guitar: how hard can the lute be?", think again. By all means take it up, but it's a *very* different instrument!

The British and American Lute Societies can both be found on line.

And now my 1,000 words are up. Good hunting!

Enchanting, visually stunning.......2007-04-18

It seems at first like Sting really stretched on this one, but if you're a dedicated fan, you'll see that his career has been leading here all along. Think of "St. Agnes and the Burning Train" on his "Soul Cages" CD. The four-hundred-year-old music of John Dowland is haunting, and Sting brings it to vibrant life with reverence and enthusiasm. Listen, and you'll be drawn into an older world that at times feels surprisingly familiar, a world of love with all it's faces, melencholy, religious persecution, and career ambition. The DVD was filmed at Sting's personal residences, and if you love atmosphere, it's all here. I recommend the DVD over the CD alone, because the images of Sting singing in those beautiful surroundings help overcome the cultural difference for those who have never heard music like this before. Also, you'll get to hear "Message in a bottle," arranged for the lute on this one, recorded on the companion CD.

Their goth-sounding name and dour visual image aside, the prolific duo of Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard produce wildly eclectic but utterly unique music. Their painstakingly crafted albums encompass numerous arcane genres, from European classical music to ancient Celtic and Middle Eastern folk styles, often employing authentic antique instruments to achieve their ambitious, emotive soundscapes. The 1993 effort Into the Labyrinth found Dead Can Dance mixing their medieval leanings with more exotic Eastern influences on "Saldek" and "Yulunga," while exploring Celtic balladry on the traditional "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" and theatrical songcraft in their interpretation of Bertolt Brecht's "How Fortunate Is the Man with None." --Scott Schinder

Album Description

Out of print in the U.S.! Import pressing of this classic 1993 album from one of the 4AD label's most popular and influential bands. At the core of Dead Can Dance is guitarist Brendan Perry and vocalist Lisa Gerard, who created a body of work that remains invigorating and uniquely their own. Into The Labyrinth was the first DCD album to gain a major label release in the U.S and features the Alternative radio hit 'The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove'. This was also the first album that Perry and Gerrard completed on their own without the aid of guest musicians. 11 tracks. 4AD.

Their commercial breakthrough, but not their best.......2007-04-15

After an absence of three years which saw the release of a best of collection, Dead Can Dance achieved their commercial and U.S. breakthrough as well as yet another stylistic shift with this, their sixth studio album. Unlike previous albums which featured backing musicians, this one saw the DCD duo of Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard handling all the instruments and vocals themselves in their new private studio. While this mostly works, occasionally the synthesizers sound a bit thin and one wishes they had employed musicians playing actual instruments for certain passages.

Stylistically, DCD moved on from the medieval arrangements of their previous album, Aion, towards more middle eastern influences alternating with dreamy pop sounds. This album also marks an increasing estrangement of the duo's individual musical styles. Lisa's dramatic opener, Yulunga, sets the tone with her chilling multi-octave wordless singing over building percussion, followed by what was to become one of the unlikelier alternative radio hits, Brendan's The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove, a bitter rebuke to an unfaithful lover delivered over a crisp background of tablas and period bagpipes. Lisa then startles longtime fans by delivering the next track, the Wind That Shakes the Barley, an actual traditional song with lyrics (as opposed to her usual wordless glossolalia). Brendan's song of dreamy nostalgia, The Carnival Is Over, was another minor hit thanks to its being featured as the theme of MTV's Real World, and is as close as the group had come so far to mainstream pop. Less successful is his third original song on the album, Tell Me About The Forest, which lyrically strays into preachiness and musically provides little interest. His closing piece on the album is an arrangement of Berthold Brecht's How Fortunate The Man Who Has None, which achieves a kind of gloomy dignity musically but strains to sustain interest throughout its full nine minute length.

The rest of the album is heavier on middle eastern and eastern European influences. Lisa's Ariadne is a brief but lovely piece featuring multitracked vocals over organ, while her even briefer Saldek sounds like it came straight from a National Geographic special on traditional Bulgarian music. The title track is a meandering and ultimately not very interesting set of passages of middle eastern styled singing and drumming with synthesizer; the similar Spider's Strategem features the same musical elements but actually comes together as a more interesting and compelling whole. The medieval a capella choral piece Emmeleia sounds like an outtake from Aion.

This album marked a watershed in several ways for the group, and for many fans was their initial introduction to DCD and hence defined their sense of the duo's musical identity, but I can't give it more than three stars. Though it features some terrific songs, much of it sounds like filler, and the stripped production pales in comparison to their best earlier work. To get a sense of what this duo is really capable of, find a copy of Within the Realm of a Dying Sun, Spleen and Ideal, The Serpent's Egg, or Aion.

Dead Can Dance "Into the Labyrinth." Beautiful, ethereal, trancendental, hypnotic, an absolutely classic!

Multi-culturalism and Cross-culturalism.......2006-10-15

The work of Dead Can Dance, Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard, might be best described as cross-cultural. Some songs sound like Celtic songs from the middle ages while others sound like Islamic chants from the desert countries. On "Into the Labyrinth", I found that The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove; The Wind That Shakes the Barley; The Carnival is Over; Tell Me about the Forest; Ariadne; and HOw Fortunate the Man with None were my favorite 6 selections. Perry's voice has a dreamy quality that is hard to describe, kind of like Dean Martin does Lebanon. I certainly like the multicultural blending of musical traditions that Dead Can Dance offers.

Interstellar travel in your headphones........2007-05-31

Well, Stargate SG.1 has finally ended after 10 seasons, and this soundtrack CD covers only the first two. I think there's room for a new CD or two, and hopefully the Stargate SG.1 people will get around to creating one.

Anyway, I've listened to this CD once so far and I was very impressed. The music really is enjoyable on its own, and I found myself listening to the Cold Lazerus music twice before I continued throught the rest of the CD.

Finally, don't think there isn't much music on this CD because of the small nunber of tracks. Many of these tracks are six to ten minutes long.

Stargate Music Album.......2007-05-12

Great CD throughout. It's a shame the show is being cancelled after 10 years but this music helps to keep the memory on.

Not as good as the 1st Music release.......2004-10-24

The best of Stargate SG-1 is infact a 9 track compilation of the 1st 2 seasons of the TV show. It's really not the best of Stargate. I rather enjoyed the 1st release namely called Music of Stargate SG-1 and the actual movie music-score. However I still enjoyed the music from several episodes of the 2nd season, most notable being the music suite of Hathor.

A fan of the TV show should be pleasantly surprised by the suites in this CD. It won't disapoint.

one for the fans.......2004-05-07

This CD is really one for the fans. If you've not watched Stargate SG-1 before, then it will be very limited in its' appeal.
I personally enjoyed the CD, as I could relate the music back to the particular episodes in which they appeared. Some of the tracks are sweet and melodic, others are more ominious, so it doesn't come up short on variety.
The music sounds, for the most part, rather sythesised (which is why, if you are used to sprawling epic soundtracks from mainstram movies, I generally don't recommend this if you have never watched the show). Tracks are usually a mixture of synthesised sounds combined with more organic notes from traditional instruments, creating a very "sci fi" sound.
This is a great CD to work and study to as it provides great background music without being too intrusive.

Sweet.......2004-02-23

This is a great CD. Just listing to it makes me feel like I'm watching the show.

Album Description

Since the release of "Shango" in 2000, Juno Reactor has been involved in many projects including the production of several tracks for "Matrix: Reloaded" and "Matrix: Revolutions", as well as a greatest hits comp, "Odyssey 1992-2002". "Labyrinth" has nine tracks, two of which are songs from the Matrix movies. It'll rule the dance floor with its trance style elements and hard hitting beats.

Customer Reviews:

Flawed, but nice........2007-01-05

I hate writing reviews. I feel like a review should include some high-brow philosophy that blows people's minds, becoming an art in itself. For me, I either like music or I don't. Simple as that. An album is either worth my money, or it isn't.

What makes this review even harder to write is Labyrinth borrows characteristics from many genres: Heavy metal, drum and bass, trance, ambient, tribal... It's hard to compare Labyrinth to anything. So here's a brief rundown:

Flaw: Angels and Men. The whole song. The vocals are interesting, the mood is interesting, but it sounds like a friggin' Blue Man Group tune. Lowes probably wants half its plumbing aisle back.

Flaw: Conquistador I. It's okay, but drags on forever. Clamp it down some.

Now, I can't be a legit reviewer if I don't point out what Labyrinth does right. Let's see...

Giant. The whole song. Brilliant as hell. Reminds me of the wonderful times I spent listening to Dieselboy's projectHUMAN, AND those angsty years of Stabbing Westward (it's the drums). It's even a bit soulful (the vocals), but not in a silly gospel way.

Navras. Yes, the song is too long, yes the song has iffy tribal marshmallows in its otherwise delicious cereal of music, but it's cool. I love the piano riff, and the "tribal bits" are good, but out of place--unless you look at it as the Juno Reactor "remix."

Conquistador II. Makes me want to start up Unreal Tournament and scrawl a legacy in bullets. Enough said.

Well, I think that about covers it. Four stars.

He's still got it..........2006-06-28

After all these years Juno Reactor is still able to bring something new to the trance plate and not repeat himself. Labyrinth is full of tribal beats, ethnic vocals and oddly enough - a touch of rock and drum & bass. Throw in the unmistakable Juno Reactor trance beats from time to time and you've got one damn good CD.

You'll notice this album has a much more cinematic and epic feel to it then previous albums... Ben Watkins truly is a master at what he does and continues to evolve and change.

Juno Reactor goes hollywood.......2006-02-18

Where Bible of Dreams was subtle and enjoyable, Labyrinth sounds much more like a movie soundtrack, which seems to be the goal. The old downtempo/trance style has turned into a aggressive sound designed as sci-fi action movie background music. While it seems a lot of people like this, I feel like Bible of Dreams was more inspired and original. The music is still enjoyable and polished, and the guitar work is great, but seems over-the-top at times and a bit "hollywood." Congratulations to JR for the work on the Matrix soundtrack, but I wasn't planning on a soundtrack disc when I bought this. Matrix itself was an excellent hard cyberpunk sci-fi theme taken to similar "hollywood" levels which made it more appealing to the masses.

I guess they've been moving in the direction for a while, as Shango still had some subtle trance elements of BoD but introduced songs like "Masters of the Universe" which had the hollywood soundtrack feel. So its probably just my fault for not really liking the direction that Juno has gone with this album. I'm still a fan and enjoy the disc.

Uh...huh.......2006-01-27

The style of Juno Reactor underwent a somewhat drastic change with "Bible of Dreams". Ambient techno gave way to full-on tributes to various forms of "organic" music, with a little techno at the ready. But here, in the latest addition to the Juno discography, the guys just don't seem to be trying as hard. Compared to "Bible" and "Shango", the efforts heard here seem rather cartoonish. Let's not ignore the fact that two of the songs on this disc were actually reused from their earlier work in the "Matrix" films. It's like when a guy digs up a really good essay he wrote a while ago, touches it up a little, and submits it for a separate assignment. I mean, the two songs in question are pretty good, but it's still a little weird. Let's also remember that this is the shortest Juno Reactor album I've ever come across. Four of the songs are less than six minutes long. Does that sound like Juno to you? Even if a song's bad, I can appreciate them for making it long. Generally, this album didn't sit as well with me as did the others.
Well, I guess I should start at the beginning.

1) Conquistador, Part 1 - 3/5. A quiet beginning. Some female voices sing a ballad or lullaby amongst a soft guitar tune. For the most part, it's pretty calm, but it gradually builds to a climax (albeit a climax that's only a little louder than the rest). In the last minute, some faint percussion pops up. It grows more and more intense, filling the listener with anticipation as to what's about to happen, before it suddenly takes us to...

2) Conquistador, Part 2 - 4/5. Like the "Nitrogen" duo in "Shango", I'm kinda lost on why the guys gave these songs the same name...although I can understand this better than "Nitrogen". I think they're trying to tell a story with these two. Despite the buildup at the end of "Part 1", the transition to this feels rather abrupt. It's got the Mexican, but say bye-bye to the ballad/lullaby; that's been replaced by dark, heavy, techno-ish rock (or rock-ish techno). They've also brought back the throat voice that's familiar to anyone who's listened to "Badimo", spouting some really crazy-sounding lyrics. Very crazy. You'll laugh. Then cry, 'cuz it's over so soon. Or cheer if you hated it.

3) Giant - 2/5. I can barely endure this piece of work. Or should we say, lack of work. I'm theorizing that Watkins and crew just got lazy and slapped this thing together simply to keep up their nine-song pattern. I don't mind repetition if there's a really good tune involved, and here...well, one out of two ain't bad. Oh, wait a sec, it is. There's a synth-like tune that kinda sounds like farting if you listen for it, and it goes on and on and on, before we get some lyric that sounds like "inside", although it's most likely not English. That's all; farting, "inside", farting, "inside", farting, "inside", all culminating in a big steaming pile of poop. Ick.

4) War Dogs - 3/5. Better. A throwback to the Middle Eastern style. To my knowledge, we've got men's chanting mixed in with woodwind, guitars, the usual synth wave, and craziness abound. The actual sound is hard to put into words, so it's better just to end it here. Not too hot about it nonetheless.

5) Mona Lisa Overdrive - 4/5. What you see here is a remix of the famous "highway chase" music from "The Matrix Reloaded". If you've already seen that movie, I won't bother describing the main tune for you. If you haven't...then you don't deserve the satisfaction! Anyway, they've added in some chanting, since that's what they do, and shortened the whole thing to four minutes and forty-five seconds. Now, this irks me; the original mix was over ten minutes long, and it ruled. What irks me even more is that this isn't as varied as the other version. It's got that great techno melody that any "Matrix" geek should recognize, but that's about it. It's like: percussion --> melody --> percussion --> melody --> chanting --> percussion --> et cetera. It doesn't even have an impressive end. By itself, it's still one of the better on this album, but I can never listen to it without thinking back to the highway chase.

6) Zwara - 3/5. I THINK this is supposed to have an Indian feel to it. It's really just techno coupled with Indian chanting, though, with a little rapping (!!!) midway through. Don't worry; it's Indian rapping (like that'll calm you down). Well, the tune's actually really cool, but what brings this song down is the end. At the approximate 4:45 mark, the chanting female gets a solo, and she really goes berserk. I don't know; maybe she's supposed to sound like she's having an orgasm, but either way, it's really off-putting. However, if you want to hear something REALLY ridiculous, wait until 5:35. The song just gets hilarious at that point. You'll wet your pants, either from laughing or freaking out.

7) Mutant Message - 4/5. "Greetings. We come in peace...NOT!" Up until now, every song here was a mix of Juno Reactor and a chosen style. "Conquistador" was Juno + Mexican, "War Dogs" was Juno + Middle Eastern, and "Giant" was Juno + poop, but "Mutant Message" is seemingly Juno + nothing else. Not a bad thing, actually. A strange alien-sounding voice is followed by the standard choir humming. We soon shift to a rather un-Juno-sounding piano melody. It all sounds very harmless for a while, and that's when they getcha. I will go no further. But I will be very distrustful of UFOs. Why? 'Cuz I'm a weirdo.

8) Angels and Men - 1/5. It sucks.

9) Navras - 4/5. Unlike "Mona Lisa", this hasn't been "remixed" from its alter ego in the "Matrix" trilogy; it's 100% the exact same as it was heard in the end credits for "The Matrix Revolutions". A HUGE choir shouts out Sanskrit quotes taken from the Upanishads. After this, we hear something that I think is piano. Really dark, heavy piano. Listening to this, you'd think it was Armageddon. Then, we go to the usual techno synth (boy, I'm typing those two words a lot) with the usual chanting. The middle is very quiet, reminiscent of the boring "Solaris". This song fortunately ends the same way it started; it's really a musical palindrome. After the quiet break, the piano again, the techno synth again, and the very last part is comprised of only the chanting. "Labyrinth" may not be up to par with their previous work, but at least it has an ending worthy of Juno Reactor's great name. I'm talkin' to you, "Shango".

Uneven..........2005-06-12

I suppose if I had never heard Shango, I probably would have rated this latest effort from Juno Reactor as a 4, but Ben Watkins and company set a really high standard of musical synthesis that is hard to better.

"Conquistador" adds some nice arcosanti-sounding bells (part I) and interesting sounding backwards percussion (part II) to a laid back spanish guitar piece that echos "Pistolero," but otherwise adds nothing sonically to the superior efforts in Shango. "Mona Lisa Overdrive" is nowhere near as compelling a composition as "Masters of the Universe"... And so on...; I'm not adverse to recycling song ideas if the result is at least as good as the originals, but many of the tracks on Labyrinth fall short.

There were a few departures worth mentioning; "Giant" attempts to add rock drums to a generally uninspired composition and fails badly; "War Dogs" fares better by using rock drumming to augment JR's usual polyrhythm mayhem.

"Zwara" was much more along the lines of what I hoped for in Labyrinth; drawing in ever more stylistic elements into a great groove -- all kinds of fun. "Navras" and "Mutant Message" were also very good extensions of the JR sonic universe...

So with about 50% of Labyrinth breaking new ground or at least tilling the soil well, I cast my vote with the reviewers that gave this outing a 3.5. The better moments here are exceptional and are well worth the purchase.

Marie-Claire Alain is not only one of the greatest organists alive today, but she stands directly in a what is undoubtedly the world's greatest tradition of organ playing. It was France that first rediscovered and cultivated Bach's organ music, and which in turn stimulated the great works of Franck, Widor, Vierne, and their school. Alain has recorded Bach's complete organ music no less than three times, here on historical organs of Bach's own time. Each disc is planned as a recital that showcases both the music and the instrument. Her performances are simply the last word in style, musicianship, and virtuosity. Magnificent. --David Hurwitz

Complete set CD review of Bach.......2007-05-12

I discovered Bach organ music 40 years ago. I love Bach, everything he wrote. I have 4 complete sets of Bach organ recordings. Marie Claire-Alan is my favorite organist of everyone I have heard. I met Marie and her husband in person after a performance she gave in Chicago. I have 2 complete sets of Bach organ played by Marie. One is on records and the other the new CD set. She is a little older now when she recorded the CD's. The albums have a more youthful sound to them, a little more energy and different registration selection on the organs. I love Marie in her youthful recordings more than these. I love the albums so much I will digitize them and listen to them over the new CD collection. I play the albums on my Linn turntable through McIntosh equipment.

The Definitive Collection of Bach .......2005-09-25

Marie-Claire Alain has recorded Bach's complete organ music 3 times, this set being the second time. She plays quite differently now, but these are some of the best interpretations. Each cd fearures a different organ dating from Bach's time, and all of the booklets are filled with pictures, history, and even the stop registrations for each of the pieces are given. Quite alot of research! If those of you who are new to Bach's organ works, I would recommend starting on a smaller scale, as some of these works can be quite intense to listen to. At any rate, this possibly may go down as one of the famous recordings of the century.

Absolutely wonderful!.......2004-07-27

From this huge box set, it is quite obvious that Bach was a dedicated composer for the organ (and obviously a virtuoso organist for that matter). Bach was a very prominent composer who lived in the Baroque era, and to truely understand his works and their style you must have a general outline of knowledge of the timeframe in which he lived. And so the Baroque era, (1600-1750) was characterized by vastness of proportion, rich counterpoint, great splendor and a highly ornamented melodic line. (One should note that the era abruptly ended after Bach's death which actually shows his importance in it) Some of these pieces are examples of works that require performers at the very highest degree to play them. His works go way beyond the famous Toccata and Fuge in D Minor, and with a "Complete" edition you can listen and hear them all for yourself, hence grasping the full view of his genious. This set is of wonderful value and worth every penny. Unfortunately, the Master's version is not available in a CD store, and so we must indulge upon other's interpretations. This out of the others stands as one of the very best. It is also complementing to the experience to have an instrument of the period (which is so in this set). Bach devoted his entire frame of mind towards the spreading of God's kingdom, therefore one could derive that he felt that by creating enlightening and insightful music, he was doing a lowly service to his God. Overall--this is a fabulous interpretation, and it will deepen one's respect and awe for Johann Sebastian Bach, the greatest organist who ever lived.

Monumental Artistry.......2003-03-08

Although I am partial to the Romantic Organ, particularly in the vein of Widor, Vierne and Rheinberger, it all begins with Bach. And in this case, one could say that it all begins with Marie-Claire Alain and her wonderful interpretations. Alain seems to understand that Bach was above all else a religious composer. Many "complete" works of Bach play short shrift with the liturgical works whereas these are some of the most satisfying of the group.

The sound is pure sonority, almost perfect, and the technical prowess is just awesome. Out of the millions of notes played, I never heard a miscue or slight jiggle. Still, keyboard wizardry is only part of the story. The registration is a work of art in itself. Alain understand the difference between the Baroque and the Modern, the French and the German and the old and the new. Just as she is a "natural" for Widor or Vierne, she also seems to have entered the Bach mind on some of these.

This is a fabulous collection worthy of any serious student of classical music. Nowhere can one derive such satisfaction that listenting to Bach played by Ms. Alain.

A Happy Sacrifice.......2001-06-30

I gladly sacrificed two of the four speakers in my car to this wonderful, wonderful treasure. What more can I say?

Customer Reviews:

Bach for professional listeners.......2006-01-30

What I found amazing about this boxset is the opportunity to enjoy Bach in complete form. From my point of view Passacaglia performed by Werner Jacob is a five star performance. Also BWV 593 and BWV 596 push up and show up no limits for the listener. This 16 CDs aggregate the perfect union between the artist, instrument, listener and Bach. And at the end of the day I can say that organ works can still be ... trendy. Enjoy!

Bach Organ Works on original organs.......2004-10-24

121 organ tracks or works on 16 CDs has to be spaced out in about six days. The music is so restful I found myself dowsing. The price for a new set through Amazon was right. Bach organ hymns made Luther.
