Customer Reviews:
Reveiw on both Audion samplers.......2004-04-16
Anyway, as for "The Best of Both Worlds: The Second Audion Sampler" -as well as "First Edition: The Audion Sampler" - I would recommend them to any fan of electronic music. Here are some of the artists I found available on amazon.com: Barry Cleveland, Don Slepian, Anthony Phillips, Emerald Web and Synergy (I understand that his albums are being reissued on another lable, as of this writing).
As I review each tune featured on both samplers, I might as well let you know that I don't own all albums featured in them. Some albums are currently in print under a different lable. These tunes are in no particular order. Maybe I'll start with my least favorite.
THE WORLD AFTER APRIL: In my opinion, the worst part of "First Edition." A 6-minute excerpt from a 23 minute piece by Synergy, which I think is the worst part of "Computer Experiments." I'm also a fan of experimental advant-garde electronic music, but I find the whole 23 minute piece kinda hard to listen to after a while. Half the length would've been better. The "Artificial Intelligence" tracks I would rather hear. At least the excerpt in "First Edition" is long enough.
REFLECTIONS: This is a pleasant way to start "First Edition." Don Slepian's album "Reflections" is rather pleasant to listen to, as a whole. "Introspection" is currently in print which has "Reflections" and "Joy," two of the best tracks from the album.
ABRASAX: Barry Cleveland's mesmerizing work. The other's in his album "Mythos" are also mesmerizing. My least favorite may be "Sophia," but I do listen to it for the heck of it. "Aeon," "Abrasax," and "Mythos" can also be found in "Memory & Imagination." Although I don't own that one (at least, not yet), I have a feeling that the album could've included "Fire Mist" since I think it's a neat piece that lasts under 2 minutes.
NOVA: From Neil Nappe's only album "July." Hard to get these days. Played on MIDI guitar with no keyboards and some kind of drumming device. The whole album is pretty good. "Nova" stands out from the other tracks. It's like being in a planetarium. I've read that Neil Nappe might go back to recording someday.
CONNECTIONS TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD: By Roger Powell (formely of some group called UTOPIA). Fun to listen to. That's all I can say.
CATSPAW: By Emerald Web. I can't say much, but it's not bad.
RUSHCUTTERS: By Garry Hughes. One of the best tracks on "First Edition."
The tunes just mentioned were from "First Edition." Here are the ones from the second sampler (again in no particular order).
GLASSHOUSE 3: In my opinion, better than "Catspaw" (also by Emerald Web). I notice that amzon.com has only 1 Emerald Web album currently in print, which does not have either one of the tunes from the audion samplers. I'm not sure about getting it, but one reviewer said it's good.
VOLUNTARY DREAMING: Another mesmerizing work by Barry Cleveland. Also on "Memory & Imagination."
SONIC PERFUME: My favorite piece by Don Slepian. Currently on "Sea of Bliss." If "Sea of Bliss" would be easier to get, I might get it.
A WOMAN'S SONG: Have you heard "The Bulgarian Shepherdess Song" from "The Music of Cosmos?" This is the same tune, but done in a neat instrumental way with synthesizers. I have not gotten "Beauty In The Beast" by Wendy Carlos (most famous for "Switched-On Bach"), but I might get that, sooner or later.
ESSENCE: It's like meditating. By Laraaji, the same guy who did "Day of Radiance (Ambient 3)."
THROUGH THE BLACK HOLE and PLUTO GARDEN: I'm getting "Private Parts and Pieces VII" which includes those 2 tunes by Anthony Phillips (former Genesis member). I wonder how good his other stuff would be when I listen to them.
SUNBOUND: From Kevin Braheny's album "Galaxies." I suspect that the album was originally going to be released by Audion. Well, the Audion Recording Company went out of business. Eventually, "Galaxies" is released on the Hearts of Space label. Pretty good album, too. The same tune would be entitled "Going Home" instead of "Sunbound."
ZANZIBAR: I think as good as "Rushcutters" (also by Garry Hughes).
METROPOLITAN THEME: This is more tonal than "The World After April" (of course). Just one of the best tracks from "Metropilitan Suite," one of the best Synergy albums. My favorites on that album are "Into the Abyss," and "Restone."
MOONWIND: By Wavestar. Not bad. That's all I can say.
And to mention the remaining favorites from the artists I could not find at amazon.com:
Jim Bartz: "Colour Stills," So' Ho: "Golden Point," Daniel Grey: "Arc," and Russel Brower: "Ascension"
The CDs may be out of print, but it's possible to get them used - especially the second sampler. Just be aware about the other "Best of Both Worlds" albums, as mentioned above.
