5 out of 5 stars A Mermaid Story.......2007-04-05

This novel is a great book for middle school girls. The fun storyline involves a mermaid found by two girls and the friendship that develops.

5 out of 5 stars Connected to the Other Side.......2007-03-21

This is going to sound strange, even crazy, but my son passed away suddenly two months ago. He came to me in a dream and asked me to buy this soundtrack for his five-year-old daughter. It was two in the morning when I woke up. I jumped out of bed and dashed to my computer. I had never heard of this movie or the soundtrack, yet there it was. I ordered two copies, I wanted to listen to it before I sent it to her. When I heard the song, 'Connected', I started to cry. I knew that was the song he wanted her to hear. She loves the soundtrack. In fact, I love it too. Who says there is no afterlife? Mixed Nuts

5 out of 5 stars Great Buy!.......2006-09-17

Whoever said the song 'Connected' was a remake of RBD's Tenetre Y Querete, you so need a reality check! Hello? Earth to that person! Connected is so not a copy of RBD!Connected is the best song on this album! I mean if you're that type of person who hates bubblegum, stay away from this! But if not, you should really give this CD a try. I would reccomend Connected, Can't Behave and Island in the Sun! Watch the movie first. It's more meaningful that way. 'Cos at first I didn't like Island in the Sun but after I watched the movie, WOW! I fell in love with that song. I love this album! Check out the movie too!

5 out of 5 stars Fun girlie music.......2006-08-31

I love this cd. If you are looking to get a lighthearted, upbeat girlie bubble gum rock CD, then you are in luck. If you like the movie, then the soundtrack is a good investment. I use the songs for silly dance parties with my roommates.

1 out of 5 stars Cover or Remake is just a Copy !.......2006-07-19

I didn't like this sountrack at all, I mean I know that sometimes in the music industry, singers usually remake older songs, but Is NOT fair! Why Sara Paxton just copy "Quererte" from the Mexican band RBD?? Doesn't she or her producer have enough imagination to write a good new song. NO MORE "REMAKES"

5 out of 5 stars Stars, stars, stars and more stars!.......2002-03-16

How did it happen? You've stumbled onto a remarkable recording! This CD (and even more so, its predecessor AQUAMARINE) hovers in the upper realm of the five star rating layer. Sharing from the CD sleeve insert:

"After recording and releasing two successful and critically-acclaimed CD projects, Friedemann Witecka knew exactly what was to be done next. The prolific composer/guitarist/producer's INDIAN SUMMER and AQUAMARINE albums had been among the most highly recorded New Instrumental releases in the 1980's. AQUAMARINE had, in fact, been voted as 'Best Audiophile Recording Of All Times' by the respected German magazine AUDIO, edging out not only Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' but Dire Straight's 'Brothers in Arms' as well. So, a tour came to life. Along with a band of all-star European players, Friedemann's Aquamarine Orchestra traveled more than 4,000 miles, performing in 15 European cities, including Berlin, Brussels, Zurich and Luxemburg. 'The first night, after the opening song of the program, the audience just went mad. The response was like this in practically every city we played. It was thrilling and very, very gratifying', Friedemann adds.The concerts were a smashing success! In documenting these unique concert events, this CD captures a very special 'frozen moment in time'. Based on incredible musicianship and the superlative sound that Friedemann's BIBER label is noted for. [sic] Audiences from Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and Austria met the players and the playing with rousing response. This CD, which was awarded STEREOPLAY magazine's Album Of The Year provides a 10th-row center seat on this tour. We trust you will enjoy the show! 'Our thanks to all who made this possible especially to those music-lovers who shared the experience of these shows with us. And I hope you - the living room listener - will 'catch' this excitement and enjoy it with us.' - Friedemann" -- Biber Records of VOLLTON MUSIKVERLAG GmbH & Co. KG

Friedemann's Aquamarine Orchestra Members:
Friedemann: acoustic and electric guitars
Roswitha Maier: oboe
Gebhard Ullmann: sprano sax, bass flute, bass clarinet
Johannes Wohlleben: Keyboards
Thomas Heidepriem: electric bass, double bassChristian Dähn: marimba, vibraphone, kettle-drums
Ulrich Mortiz: drums and percussion

My first introduction to the awesome talent of Friedemann was (innocently enough) through Narada's DECADE compilation released in 1993 featuring "In the Court of the Mermaid" and "Man from Caesaria". It was the former that really sold me - a mythical waltz sung by english horn and clarinet amid a perfect arrangement of electric guitar, percussion, piano, vibraphone, bassoon, trumpet and acoustic bass. Spending some time with the Narada label, releasing INDIAN SUMMER (1987), the awe-striking AQUAMARINE (1990), and more subdued LEGENDS OF LIGHT (1995), Friedemann gained exposure in the United States aside from the Biber Records label for a little while. However, I feel that the splendid attention to detail and execution in composition and performance were lost on most "quick-fix" American ears. Biber records still offers the aforementioned recordings [now seemingly (unbelievably!) out of print in the States] as well as PASSION & PRIDE (1999), and a best-of compilation entitled BEAUTY & MYSTERY OF TOUCH.

Friedemann was part of Narada's Equinox series of acoustic/world/jazz/fusion. However, this music lives among those few recordings in which your favorite genres are swiftly superceded due to the sheer excellence of this work. ***** I am not exaggerating when I say the AQUAMARINE and IN CONCERT discs are filled with brilliance. This is not "fluff". These are acoustic, jazz-influenced musicians exemplifying the best in musical composition, arrangement and performance on the planet! ***** The music is completely engaging and uplifting... AQUAMARINE... it remains one of the best CDs I've ever heard.

Owning the first three CDs as well as IN CONCERT, I most heartily recommend finding the soaring AQUAMARINE first and foremost, with a good recommendation for IN CONCERT as well. IN CONCERT might be slightly less "accessible" to the average listener than AQUAMARINE, but all critical listening, serious lovers of music should hear these, if not own them.

I can't begin to imagine how wonderful it would have been to attend one of his concerts. What an awesome, stunning and memorable experience! Fortunately, part of that performance has been handed down to us with FRIEDEMANN'S AQUAMARINE ORCHESTRA IN CONCERT. And one last thing: Dear Music Lover, once you purchase these discs it is important that you empty yourself of all expectations before you listen. Then the music will stir in you an overflowing joy of life!

5 out of 5 stars Aquamarine a Classic of Jazz Fusion.......2004-11-20

This album is one of the great hidden gems of jazz fusion. It is intricate and funky, bright and colorful all at the same time. All the instrumenalists are virtuosos, and if you happen to be a drummer, you'll be in awe of the mastery of Danny Gottleib, who hails from the early incarnation of the Pat Metheny Group. Joining him is one of the truly great lineups of jazz soloists ever assembled, including John Abercrombie, Steve Khan, and Joe Satriani. It's no wonder this one is fetching a hefty price. I'm going to hang onto my aging cassette of this masterpiece like grim death!

        Album Description

        "Pearl Harbor" alludes to a wide assortment of early influences. Artists such as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell's songwriting made an impact for their ability to portray raw emotions through straighforward, though sometimes extensive imagery. Soul tunes from early Motown (Smokey, Marvin, Aretha, Gladys) to Prince made a big impact, as did pure popsters from Dionne Warwick's Burt Bacharach songs, to the Hollies and Tom Petty. Others, like Squeeze, the Cure, early REM, the Replacementts, and Elvis Costello were impressive for their combination of pop simplicity with a darker mood and sound. Beck is a more recent influence, for his success at densely packing mixed metaphors into a playful, accessible form which invites, rather than demands, deeper examination.

        In this latest release, songs such as the title track examine the experiences many of us have had when false comfort and feelings of safety are suddenly interrupted and shattered by a shocking event. Thatched Roof Glass House looks at relationships where we convince ourselves we are connected, only to later find that the others' (invisible) walls are our own. Straw Hat continues the theme with what McCullough describes as "an almost verbatim narrative which became something of a fable on the page. You meet someone and are instantly sucked in by their charm, only for them to disappear as quickly as they came. Leaving you with nothing but a memory, and forcing you to examine that part of yourself that they've mirrored back to you."

        Sometimes When I Wake, with it's introductory portrayal of a lonely dinner drinking, smoking and channel-surfing, delves into the darkest territory of all, where you don't care to answer the phone, "everything you do is wrong" and yet you still somehow find hope in the light of day. They say that the harshest cynics are the truest optimists.

        The sojourn through Pearl Harbor ends on a most hopeful note, with the song Cling, inspired by the I Ching. A testament to the old cheese-pop adage "hold on loosely, but don't let go..." Desire for love vs. a need for Independence, the eternal challenge.
