Looking Glass

Amazon.com
As with his compositions for The Christmas Box, Paul Cardall's original piano pieces on The Looking Glass are inspired by a Richard Paul Evans novel of the same title. The story is one of loss, longing, and the ultimate salvation of true love. Cardall's 14 pieces move from setting the scene ("Bethel") toward conflict, dramatized in pieces such as "The Dream" and "Without You." His playing, both expressive and understated, rolls gently against a pliant and inventive backdrop of guitar, violin, cello, and viola. "The Woman in the Snow" marks a turning point in mood. Plaintive melody is replaced by a quickened tempo of inquisition and hope, followed by the disclosure of character through fully realized themes. Juxtaposing heavy and bright tones at the climactic centerpiece, the song cycle comes to harmonious resolution with "Redeeming Love," based on "Amazing Grace." A must for fans of Richard Paul Evans. --Paige La Grone

Wonderful value.......2007-07-25

I see people giving this album 2 and 3 stars for 'two' good songs. My question to them is, "What are you listening to?" This is a fine album so often overlooked and generally dismissed as that record with the "Brandy" song. In truth, I always loved this song and that's what eventually led me here to buy it. Hey, for five bucks that fantastic song is worth it alone! But I was pleasantly surprised when I got the CD and listened to it in it's entirety a week after purchase. What an absolutely wonderful album for only five dollars! I didn't know it was possible to get a 5 star CD for that price but it is, you simply need look no further.

For the first song, well you all know it so well so I won't go into any great detail. "Brandy" is one of the finest songs ever written. Very few songs in this world are perfect, and ladies and gentlemen this is one of them. Love it forever. As for the rest, "Jimmy Loves Mary-Ann" is probably the second best song on here as you have probably already read in the other reviews. It is very similar to "Brandy" in many ways. Good bass, good beat, and a very nice chorus. If it weren't for the existance of the title track I daresay that Looking Glass would be popularly remembered for this song instead. Two quick 5 star songs to begin with. Looking Glass trades lead singers for the next track and throughout the album creating a nice balance of voice and harmony. For instance, "Highway to Hollywood" is a more wholly upbeat track while "Are You Dreamin'" returns back to the sound already firmly established in the first two songs. "One By One" may be the only really bland track here, I just can't seem to get into it. Slower, and a little too quiet compared to the rest of this album I think. It seems out of place if you ask me. Therefore skip down to the next song "Rainbow Man", a happy, feel good tune that's suitable for the mood. "Sweet Jeremiah" kicks up the pace, injecting pure american rock and roll to the mix without comming up for air. Fast classic rock the way it should be, and "Dealing With the Devil" follows suit. A little slower than it's predecessor, it still manages to maintain that rock ballad quality. Nothing fancy, just good ole music. "City Lady" was kind of a surprise to me because it seems more sophisticated than the rest, like it's a little before it's time or something. And it has a bass line and drums that make me think vividly of some Steely Dan creation, "Gold Teeth" to be exact. This song slides suddenly but gracefully into "For Skipper", a lamenting and beautiful sea sounding ballad just suited for the seaish, coastal kind of quality that brandy posesses. A fine finish, and that's precisely the saddest thing about this album... it has to end.

Brandy is an immoveable album in music's history that somehow became forgotten along it's way. Sad really. But here for your enjoyment on CD, and honestly, you really can't find better value for a better price anywhere. Buy it now!

Brandy (You're a Fine Girl).......2005-10-14

I received the CD Brandy in a timely manner. I played the CD and the music was clear and good. I gave the CD to a young lady named Brandy who was born about the time the song was released.
She was thrilled with the gift and I was thrilled with my purchase.

Unappreciated Artists.......2004-12-08

"Brandy" is fine, catchy tune with a story to tell. Great song, but not all this band was capable of.
"Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne" is another of the same.
But "Sweet Something" (on Golden Classics
Looking Glass) and "For Skipper" are jazzy and breezy works of art. The folks who say that all there is to this group is "Brandy" and "Jimmy" are missing something special because their ears are tuned to Top 40 or "Classic Rock."
Pay attention! Take time to savor the talent and musical vision of this group. Don't believe these two songs are just filler (like some of their other tunes).
While this band never broke through, they deserved more encouragement for what they were capable of, the art of "Sweet Something" and "For Skipper."
Too bad that these two songs are not on the same album as they were on the vinyl release "Subway Serenade" -- which I have from the early 1970s. These two songs are timeless gems.

Fun Sunshine Music.......2004-10-20

Another reviewer said it best, it's the kind
of music when the world was a little more
innocent, and not as jaded. "Brandy" is a
guilty pleasure, its a great summer songs that
evokes the early 1970's, the beach, and love.
Jimmy Loves Maryanne is great as well. As others
have noted this was essentialy a harder rocking
boogie band, than is evident on their big hits.
But what a time it was, I would also suggest from
the same time "Dancing in The Moonlight"-King Harvest,
"Go All The Way" Raspberries, & "Long Cool Woman" -Hollies.

The Whole Album is Great!.......2004-02-10

While I agree that Brandy and Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne are great songs, I like the rest of the album as well. It brings back a fresher, lighter time when the world seemed like a friendly and happy place!

Best Covers Album Ever with One Sensuous Gem.......2007-01-11

This is Siouxsie and the Banshees best album next to the stunning "Kaleidoscope". Who cares if it's a covers album?, all of it sounds like the Banshees' own stuff anyway. Although songs on the album like "This Wheel's On Fire" and "Hall of Mirrors" are great, the one song that defines this album is the smoldering, sexy, Eastern-tinged "Trust in Me". It is a cover of a song from Walt Disney's "The Jungle Book", sung by a talking boa constrictor (Perfect for Siouxsie!). Siouxsie purrs and growls her way through it, and when she says to "shut your eyes and trust in me", you'd better do that and more! Even though Siouxsie can do this kind of thing in her sleep by now, "Trust in Me" is one of Siouxsie and the Banshees' best song, second only to "Paradise Place".

A haunting album.......2006-05-18

The first time i had heard this album I was totally oblivious it was a covers album. It really sounds like all original stuff she wrote for a particular album. It's not disjointed like some covers albums can be, it sounds like a coherent solid original album. Yea, i heard siouxsie's passenger before iggy pop's which may seem strange to some people but we are all introduced to music at different stages and times. (Was surprised to find the true meaning of the song "Strange Fruit", originally sung by Billie Holliday regarding the lynching of slaves) This album has a unique and haunting sound. I believe it to be the best of Siouxsie's.

step through.......2006-05-02

in general, im not a huge covers fan. so initially, the idea of a strictly covers album didnt interest me. but since i liked the covers of "dear prudence" on hyaena and "helter skelter" on the scream, and was also experiencing a renewed obsession with the banshees, i purchased looking glass and its now one of the most frequently played and valued cds in my collection.

with remarkable integrity, the band respectfully maintains the feel of each original artist while infusing their own distinguishable sound, and with fantastic results. if you dont recognize some of the titles, you will find the sparks, the doors, television, roxy music, kraftwerk and others reinterpreted here. considering the diversity of the source material it works amazingly well as an album, providing refreshing transitions without sounding disconnected.

there are a few particularly unexpected and rewarding moments on this cd that deserve mentioning: "trust in me" for one, which was culled from the disney movie jungle book, is outstanding and pleasantly surprising. "hall of mirrors" is another, with one of kraftwerks robotic innovations receiving an invigorating boost of energy. and billie holiday is absolutely BLOWN away, musically as well as vocally, with a truly shivering adaptation of "strange fruit." only siouxsie could have improved upon this "classic", and in my opinion actually make it listenable.

the rest of the cd is equally engaging. if youre a fan of the banshees, you wont be disappointed. and if you have eclectic musical tastes with nostalgic yearnings for the past, youll be positively thrilled.

Me too.......2005-07-05

It's criminal and typical that Siouxie's cover of "Trust in Me" isn't well known. It's one of the all-time great covers. The remainder of this album is excellent and her choice of faves (and these are her faves) is surprising and fun--especially the Sparks tune which she does fabulously. Listen to the samples if you haven't heard her astounding voice and delivery and pray for the day you encounter her perfectly off-pitch creepy-as-heck vocals in the song "Israel" or the glorious tune "Dazzle." One of the great vocal talents in pop and stupidly underappreciated.

Surely one of the all-time best cover albums!.......2005-05-17

The song choices are really surprising for Siouxsie and the Banshees and they all turned out fantastic. What makes them so good, aside from the talented musicians involved, is the creative way these songs are reimagined.

My impressions:

"This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us" (The Sparks) - a propulsive, runaway roller-coaster of a song augmented with fantastic orchestration.

"Hall of Mirrors" (Kraftwerk) - bubbling, mechanical, yet infused with soul courtesy of Siouxsie. Great lyrics.

"Trust in Me" (Richard and Robert Sherman - from the JUNGLEBOOK movie) - one of the most sensuous, slow-burning recordings ever with heavenly harps. Absolutely hypnotic.

"This Wheel's On Fire" (Bob Dylan) - shocking reinvention of the last track of Bob Dylan's BASEMENT TAPES album recorded with the Band. Much more upbeat than the original with wild orchestral accompanyment. A complicated version, this must have been challenging to record, but it's positively dazzling.

"Strange Fruit" (Lewis Allen - sung by Billie Holliday) - you gotta admit, it took guts for Siouxsie to cover a song sung by one of the most acclaimed vocalists of all time. This is a harrowing protest song against the lynching of blacks in the old South. Predictably, Siouxsie's voice doesn't compare to the lush, creepy delivery found on Lady Day's version but she holds her own with a valiant effort. The song is fleshed out with windy atmospherics and a melancholy violin.

"You're Lost Little Girl" (The Doors) - becomes almost a celebratory march in the hands of S&B augmented by orchestra and chiming bells.

"The Passenger" (Iggy Pop) - great horn section, great attitude from Siouxsie. In some more just alternate reality, this song is a huge hit.

"Gun" (John Cale) - a really fun song - the only one on here in which I haven't heard the original, so I can't compare the two. Never-the-less, I find this cover to be an absolute blast!

"Sea Breezes" (Roxy Music) - One of my absolute favorites from Siouxsie and co. The original is strange and experimental. S&B turn it into a dreamy, mysterious wonderland with an intense climax courtesy of some powerful drum rolling from Budgie.

"Little Johnny Jewel" (Television) - another favorite. The original is quirky and loaded with prickly guitars. By comparison, S&B practically turn it into a pop song that is totally infectious. I never heard the original until the MARQUEE MOON re-release which featured bonus tracks including this single, Television's first ever release. "Little Johnny Jewel" was originally a strange affair, stretched out over two sides of a single, heard in its entirety on the expanded album. It's a classic record, very highly recommended.

Not a Bad Album!.......2007-07-21

Prior to buying this CD album (Yep, I still call 'em albums. A collection of ANYTHING - photos, songs, etc. is an album in my book!), I only knew 2 songs by the Looking Glass. " Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne", and of course, "Brandy". This album is culled from their 2 Epic releases, and a nice cross-section of songs it is. Some highlights are: Jenny-Lynne; Golden Rainbow; Dealin' with the Devil; as well as their 2 big hits.
The liner notes mention that when they toured, that alot of concert goers were dissappointed that they didn't sound like their record. (No horns or string section when they were live, I guess.) And while I've gotta admit that they do sound fuller on the songs with these additions, this is still a good overall collection of what pop music sounded like in a time where it mattered more on WHAT you sounded like, as opposed to WHAT you looked like, or how well you could dance in your video.

A Fine Vintage of Brandy.......2005-12-14

Pop. Pure and simple. If video did indeed kill the radio star that simply means to me that a lot of the 70's groups never would have been recorded. Appearance means more anymore than the music. Looking Glass' personnel was like many others. Then, there were the distinct vocals. Listen to "Brandy". I have my own visual of that song that anyone else's interpretation would have erased. That has to be the best song never to have been made into a video, thankfully. Jimmy loves Mary-Anne still reminds me of two high school friends that dated. Their names were....Jim and Mary-Anne. Still reminds me of them. The rest of the album is terrific. Give the songs a chance and you'll enjoy them as much as the aforementioned ones.

Searching for Brandy.......2005-08-07

I love music and when I heard the song "Brandy" on the radio one day, I did some research to find the group that performed it. Looking Glass did not sound familiar to me, but I bought the CD and there are quite a few good songs on here. Elliot Lurie started the band and wanted to be a hard rocker, but the recording company was more interested in his ballads. I like both kinds of music, but his voice does purr on "Brandy". None of the other songs on the album are bad either. It is definitely worth the buy.

LOOKING GLASS A SURPRISE.......2004-08-03

ORDERED THIS CD FOR THE SONG "BRANDY" THAT I HEAR ALL THE TIME. AND TO MY SURPRISE, THE WHOLE CD IS A FAVORITE. THIS BAND WAS GOOD AND SHOULD HAVE HAD MANY MORE HITS. THEIR MUSIC AND LYRICS DO HAVE THE SOUND OF THE TIMES WHEN IT WAS RECORDED. NOT A BAD THING! THE WHOLE CD MAKES ONE WANT TO MOVE TO THE MUSIC. HOPEFULLY, THESE MEN KEPT ON MAKING MUSIC IN THEIR OWN WAY.

The Whole Album is Mellow!.......2004-02-10

I agree with the other reviewer! This is a really nice mellow album that is much more than just the one-hit wonder song Brandy. However, that one-hit wonder song is definately one of my all-time favorites and is worth the price of this album by itself!

Filled a gap in my pop music history knowledge........2007-07-02

Yup, I recognized the voice that I could never place a name with, and that I remember from listening to on the radio as a child. This isn't exactly a CD that I'd take to a desert island or listen to often, but I'll admit it's way better than I thought it would be. I figured I'd get a blast-from-the-past from the few big hits and then have to listen to a lot of filler garbage, but this CD is actually very listenable all the way through.

Gary Puckett certainly had a great vocal talent, and it was great to catch up on that part of my music listening past that I couldn't quite place.

Great Collection from a great 60's artist........2007-02-05

First of all.....to David P. Jaudon,of Ballston Spa NY......You Sir are a first class idiot and obviously a loser as you seem to know nothing of the great 60's groups of which Gary Puckett and the Union Gap were one of the best. This collection contains all of their biggest Top 40 hits plus some album tracks as well. Why this guy compares this to a great uncle coming on to your little sister, or whatever kind of foolishness he describes just shows that he knows nothing of music or the times when the songs were popular. Remember, Fool, they're just songs..OK??? They don't need to be analyzed or compared to some perverted ideas from your own mind. They're just 60's pop music and great tunes at that.

Why don't you do us all a big favor and not write any more reviews if you can't stick to the music and quit making some Victorian observations of your own.

Memorable top-40 hits fleshed out with worthy also-rans.......2002-08-04

With five memorable radio hits, "Woman Woman," "Young Girl," "Lady Willpower," "Over You," "The Girl is a Woman Now," and an otherwise commercially obscure catalog, Puckett and band often seem like one-hit wonders. The narrow playlists of oldies radio has reduced their catalog to the essentials (even managing to drop charting singles like "Don't Give in to Him"), and despite Puckett's strong performances on the oldies circuit over the years, the act never seemed to be fully fleshed out in the public's consciousness.

This 1992 Columbia Legacy collection goes a long way in providing the story beyond the hits, both through Al Quaglieri's informative liner notes, and the well-selected track list. As detailed by Quaglieri, the band's story is not too unusual for the era: Puckett and crew came together organically, got themselves a record deal, and found success with material from their manager and other third-party songwriters. Disillusionment set in (Puckett wanted to sing rock, not ballads, other band members wanted to write), and the growing tension caused their producer to leave. A newly assigned producer squeezed out one more hit before Puckett left for an unspectacular solo career. First hit ("Woman Woman") to last ("This Girl is a Woman Now") took a shade over two years.

While none of the album tracks and non-charting singles can match the radio brilliance of the top-40 hits, Puckett's dramatic voice was put to some other good material. Tim Hardin's "Don't Make Promises" is a fine piece of blue-eyed soul, with Puckett's reserve on the verses building to a horn-charged crescendo by song's end. Bassist Kerry Chater's "Wait Till the Sun Shines on You" effectively mixes classical motifs with Puckett's balladeering, and his co-write with keyboardist Gary Withem, "Can You Tell," is a moody gem. Gary Puckett's co-write, "Daylight Stranger," effectively combines bluesy-acoustic guitars and electric organ with an upbeat vocal (rather mindfully of Mike Nesmith's work from the later Monkees years), and Puckett's previously unissued "Every Hour," is a sweet folk-calypso.

The remastering, from original multitracks and mix-down masters, shows off the surprising amount of care and musicianship that went into these recordings. The stereo mixes (including first-ever for "Don't Make Promises" and "Daylight Stranger") are crisp, and perhaps disarmingly revealing, especially compared to the mono AM broadcast on which the hits originally travelled to listeners ears.

Puckett's catalog is equally well represented by this disc and Collectables' "A Golden Classics Edition." The latter's longer track list includes the same five hits and a larger helping of the band's album tracks; this collection extends a bit further chronologically, including a few of Puckett's post-Union Gap solo tracks ("I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" "Gentle Woman").

Creepier than ten Marilyn Mansons! WAY out of line indeed!.......2001-11-26

You can talk all you want to about your Marilyn Mansons and G.G. Allins. For my money, nothing scores higher on the "quease-o-meter" than this Austin Powers lookalike from the 1960s/1970s. Using arrangements straight out of a third-rate Vegas lounge band, Puckett croons his oily declarations of love to "wuh-hum-enn" of all ages. And I do mean ... ALL AGES. Hearing Puckett's biggest hit, "Young Girl" is the aural equvialent of catching your balding middle-aged uncle coming on to your little sister. "Lady Willpower" is similarly creepy. I can't imagine ANY woman giving this loser the time of day.

For better or worse, "Looking Glass" contains all the hits ... and then some. Musically, I would rate this below a "1" if I could. However, some things go so far beyond awfulness that they become fascinating and intriguing. Forget "Hannibal". For pure sicko thrills, nothing beats this Puckett collection. And this is why I give it 3 stars.

THE BEST BUY GREATEST HITS CD.......2001-05-08

This was almost a toss up, with the "Collectibles" CD being very good with 27 songs as well. The reason I choose this was it also includes some solo work, "Keeping the Customer Satisfied" and "Let's Give Adam and Eve Another Chance", as well as his top tens hits. They are all here, including "Woman, Woman" ,"Young Girl", "This Girl Is A Women Now", "Lady Willpower", "Over You" and "Don't Give Into Him"

B SIDES Such as "Don't Make Promises" and "Daylight Stranger" are included, with choice album filler.

I Just saw Gary Puckett in Ft. Lauderdale at a concert and his voice is still fantastic! Check out his shows, you will enjoy it!

A good low cost CD with great time less cuts. Why not?

The Best!.......2006-06-25

Great album from these AOR stalwarts. The covers are top notch like the playing. Lukather shines here, especially on Sunshine of Your love and While my guitar Gently Weeps. Worth the price of the CD alone. Steve Porcaro adds a much needed touch of class to the recording, showing us why he should never of left the band. His touch has surely been missed since. All in all, a worthy exercise and a very entertaining diversion.

Rocking Backwards.......2006-06-17

TOTO's 2002 release made up of non-original tracks reminds me of White Queen in Carol's Through The Looking Glass who live in reversed time sequence. Probably they wanted to do something peculiar not any of music fans might have expected.

To be honest, I think whether you can enjoy this album depends upon how deep are were into 70s rock. Some are familiar tracks and others may not. Among them Herbie hancock's classic MAIDEN VOYAGE/BUTTERFLY is excellently cared and you may enjoy whether or not you know the original. My personal favorite is BODHISATTVA one of my favorite STEELY DAN tracks and I am glad TOTO chose that track for this release. Beatles track WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS sounds close to original and Bobby Kimball did quite good vocal performance. BURN DOWN THE MISSION also is quite a nice choice giving great respect to ELTON JOHN one of my favorite artists.

Verdict: NOT regular release but still enjoyable
Rating: 74 out of 100
Recommended for: 70s rock fans and TOTO fans.

Through the Looking Glass - a Tribute.......2006-06-06

Toto's "Through the Looking Glass" is a great album that should be listened to by every Toto fan. As a professional musician, I've often thought that it would be neat to put together a collection of those artists/composers who influenced me. Every musician has had several, from classical to jazz to pop - someone who has inspired them in their musical development. I think it very admirable that they decided to put an album like this together.

Of the tunes that I am familiar with, Toto has done an amazing job of keeping to the original artist's style, yet modernizing and making it their own at the same time. George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" has been arranged as a power ballad, opening with some keyboard sequencing and ending with a heart-felt, guitar solo. The tribute to Herbie Hancock's classic "Maiden Voyage/Butterfly" is simply stellar - again, a modern sound that any contemporary jazz station would be proud to play. Elton's "Burn Down the Mission" is another tune that retains the "Toto" sound, yet doesn't take away from what Elton produced.

Think about it - how many covers have new artists butchered? As a classically trained pianist, I was taught to keep it in the style/era of the original composer, yet make it my own. Toto has done just that. Though I do not care for most of the songs on this album (the originals never did anything for me), I am impressed, I am impressed with the overall result. If you enjoy Toto's music, this is one for your collection.

Worth the money.......2005-12-23

The only time I have ever heard of TOTO was that song "Africa" in the 80's. I was looking for a CD to differentiate from my usual, and a good firend of mine who happens to be a professional guitar player reccomended this CD to me. Although im not an avid fan as some may have stated, I think this CD was definately worth my money. track # 6, Maiden Voyage I think is a very awesome jam to relax to and just enjoy yourself. This may not be a hardcore TOTO Cd, but I definately reccomend it for anyone looking to sit back and just enjoy some good sounds.

Great Musicians gone bad!!!.......2005-08-23

I grew up listening to TOTO and have been to concerts... they are at the top of my music pile, but this album is the perfect example of great musicians making a bad album. If you are looking for a GREAT TOTO album/DVD get their 25th anniversary TOTO Live in Amsterdam DVD....wow talk about fantastic musicianship... simply a unbelievable DVD. The lighting, sound and music arrangement was and is the best.

This album... I hate to say it in the same sentence with TOTO...SUCKS!!! Sorry guys... I own them all but this one.

Product Description

THE LOOKING GLASS WARS is a novel set in two dimensions -- our world and Wonderland. Since so much of the story unfolds in Wonderland it came to me that for the reader to more fully experience these characters and their world I should somehow extend the mental dimension of the page to the aural dimension to make it more sensory and emotional. Acting on an Imaginative impulse I decided to create an aural novel by producing a soundtrack much the same as a director would for a film. It was an abstract concept but one that I felt held a secret, locked promise if faithfully and artistically pursued. The musical landscape offered an incredible choice of talent and within a short time a number of artists were at work on their songs. And this is where it all became strange... For as the music came together and the tracks were compiled I came to know these characters, my characters, on a much deeper level. Ultimately, I found it both shocking and exhilarating to so intimately experience the anguish and passion of the heroic, monstrous, vengeful and loving denizens of Wonderland. Frank Beddor

A Glimpse of Alias' Psyche through the Looking Glass..........2004-11-26

Alias is a founding member of Anticon, whose magnum opus is undoubtedly The Other Side of the Looking Glass. The album's intro clearly establishes Alias' intention in crafting these songs, an attempt to articulate issues and events particular to his life, such as the death of his mother ("Institutions Passing") struggles with bi-polar disorder ("Pill Hiding" and "Dying to Stay") and other topics such as anxiety and worriment. "Black Tea" depicts Alias' imagined older self having to face the reality of his wife's passing, and recognition that he must spend his days alone. It is apparent that Alias' partner played a significant influential role in his songwriting.
My personal favourite track is "Watching Water", undoubtedly the crowning song of this album, which epitomizes much of the abstact quality to "The Other Side..." on a whole. Here Alias admits that sentimentality can have the deleterious effect of regret, especially in light of the fact that every individual is not a fixed point in space and time, and must therefore adapt to new situations, much like a falling drop of water that is enveloped by a larger mass of water. A truly beautiful song.
The Other Side of the Looking Glass is one of my most favourite hip-hop albums, since it features a talented artist using an unconventional approach to convey his thoughts and emotions, which are truly worth his salt. Alias' sheds light on many aspects of his personality, and the album is absolutely devoid of filler, and features only one guest (Dose One on "Opus Denied"). If one is a fan of spoken word matched to engaging beats, this album will undoubtedly enchant the listener.
Big ups to London Ont's own Thesis who pieced the incredible artwork for the album.

Deep.......2004-02-09

That's all I can say, this album is gloomy and deep and that really appeal's to me. What I can say I liked most about this album is not the rap but the sound that Alias has injected into the album. But I will warn the buyer, this album isn't for everyone. If you are not used to something different from rap then don't buy this album, but other than that it's all good.

The brightest side of the looking glass.......2003-03-02

Alias is no doubt my favorite poet. Each of the songs on this CD had verses that made me sit and think about how it's possible for anyone to write so melancholy and make it cheer me up so well. Number 7, Watching Water, is the song that I relate to the most. I bought this CD two weeks ago and it hasn't left my CD player.

one of the best I've heard in a long time.......2002-07-18

This is heavier than any Norwegian black metal band, more melancholy than most pale, early '80's, British pop. Inventive instrumentation and samples coupled with interesting beats make this the most complicated and ulimately the most rewarding hip-hop album I've heard in a long time. This guy is the best kept secret on the Anticon roster.

Alias shows his strength.......2002-05-29

This album is incredible and well worth the wait. Another fine example from Anticon records. Alias is great at mixing emotion with music and still having fabulous beats. If this tickles your fancy, check out So Called Artist, Deep Puddle Dynamics or anything else Anticon sells.

Album Description

In 1988 Philip Glass scored Errol Morris' extraordinary documentary film entitled "The Thin Blue Line". This film helped exonerate a man named Randall Adams who was serving a life sentence for the murder of a police officer that he didn't commit. It was also responsible for exposing the actual murderer. Mr. Morris' repetitive, obsessive storytelling style is perfectly supported by Philip Glass' hypnotic score and the overall effect is so engaging and irresistible, that it is impossible not to be drawn into this true-life drama.

That same year Nonesuch Records released a CD of the film's soundtrack that interestingly included the narration and interviews from the film and it tells the entire story. In continuing with Orange Mountain Music's mission to expose prime material from the Philip Glass archive of recordings, we have decided to release the original score without the voice-over so it can be experienced thoroughly. We have also included the extra material that was written and recorded for the film but was never used.

The Munkasci/Riesman team produced the original recordings and the ensemble includes strings, flutes, trumpets, French horns and percussion. The music is dark and moody, full of tension appropriately for such a chilling film. You can expect to be captivated by this masterful score.

Album Description

Orange Mountain Music reissue of the acclaimed composer's masterful score to the 1988 film (minus the voice-over that appears on the Nonesuch edition). Also includes extra material that was written & recorded for the film but was never used.

Customer Reviews:

THE THIN BLUE LINE soundtrack with music only is a quest fulfilled!.......2006-10-27

Finally, THE THIN BLUE LINE soundtrack by Philip Glass has been released with the beautiful music only (i.e. without the dialogue tracks). Those of you who have seen this gripping documentary by Errol Morris and enjoyed Philip Glass's hypnotic compositions probably bought the original CD release which included dialogue excerpts from the movie. You were probably disappointed because, although the dialogue version sends an important message about the ever-present risk of gross miscarriage of justice and the potential to send innocent men to death row, you were nonetheless deprived of enjoying this incredible, soul-stirring music. This is truly one of Philip Glass's best soundtracks along with KOYAANISQATSI and POWAQQATSI.

Now is your chance to buy this musical masterpiece without the distraction of dialogue. If you are like me, you might have yearned for a music-only release for years and years. Finally, your quest can be fulfilled!

P.S. To the "geniuses" in the soundtrack music industry,
Please do us all a huge favour by sparing us from any more soundtrack releases that have dialogue superimposed over the music (CASABLANCA, BLADE RUNNER, MORE MUSIC FROM TITANIC, MORE MUSIC FROM GLADIATOR, etc.)! If we wanted to hear the dialogue, we would either just watch the movie or burn a copy of the dialogue onto a CD by ourselves. So do us all a favour and open those music vaults to release complete soundtracks in their entirety without cheating with dialogue tracks! Thank you.

THANK GOODNESS--the music w/o the words.......2006-07-09

I was enthralled by the soundrack of "The Thin Blue Line." The movie was also interesting, but the music was memorable. There was something so captivating about the track itself wihtout regards to the content. Usually I associate a soundtrack with the images of the movie. (Like in Nothing But Trouble, I always see the scene with Chevy Chase going down the conveyor belt when I hear Bone Crusher.)

I eagerly went out and purchased the soundtrack to the movie, and was quite disappointed because it was the movie w/o the picture. All the dialog was on the disc (WHY????) So thank goodness someone reworked the score using a symphonic orchestra. They were very close to the original, but some of the instrument choices were a bit "generic," that's why I could only give it 4 stars. A verbatim track from the movie w/o any dialog as a TOTALLY original Philip Glass score would be a 5 star deal, all the way.

PS--w/o means "without." Sorry for the shorthand.

Worth buying as complement to the old CD issue.......2005-10-15

I own a copy of the old CD issue (including film monologs), but was pleasantly surprised by the release of this re-issue. This release strips the spoken word from the soundtrack to reveal the true beauty of the music. The effect is remarkable! Of course, this is also partly due to the vastly improved sound quality of the recording. As an added bonus, there're also tracks included that didn't make it to the final soundtrack of the film (and therefore were not included on the previous CD). This release complements the old one in various ways and makes it very worthwhile.

Off the Beaten Path!!.......2004-01-19

As with most of Philip Glass's soundtrack's the music to The Thin Blue Line is amazing (in a suprisingly subtle way). So why in the world was this soundtrack released in 1989 with DIALOGUE ON TOP OF IT?! What's more, to the dismay of all of us diehards', the dialogue was quite out front, with the music off in the background. What were they thinking?

Well, I can't complain anymore - and I'll gladly stop. This soundtrack - without any dialogue, thank you - is available for our enjoyment and it has been making regular rounds on my CD player ever since. For those whove not heard the soundtrack before, but have some familiarity with Glass, this music probably sounds most (loosely) akin to "Dancepieces". The instrumentation is sparse, the pieces are inventive while maintaining an openness and accessibility, and the chord changes have a tendency to give you chills (well, they do to me anyway).

There are plenty of highlights: really the first five tracks are all brilliant (the third being rearranged as Glass's solo piano piece 'metamorphisis 1'). I also really liked tracks 9, 10 and 11 (which are all extremely short peices exploiting the same chordal theme). Also, track 19 (a longer peice for strings that I don't think made it into the film or the other soundtrack) has a calm but mighty sound that I've only heard Glass be able to pull off.

There are, to be sure, a few...well...bizarre tracks that almost sound more like a Michael Nyman experiment than something Glass would do. Two tracks use jazz brushes on a snare, playing a soft swing underneath strings that are playing in straight syncopation. A mismatch, in my opinion. Another two tracks (one of them track 20 - the 'hidden' track) use a surf-sounding guitar and a peppy - almost poppy - feel akin to Michael Nyman. Besides that, track 20 uses more studio effects than I've ever heard Philip Glass use. Very bizarre indeed (but you may well like it, and at any rate, it is very different)!!

Long and short, this album is a gem, even if some of the tracks are a bit eclectic. Glass is to be commended for creating a soundtrack that is a.) this compelling, b.) this diverse from track to track, and c.) simply put, this beautiful!

Very Haunting Film and Score.......2003-11-25

Several years ago I watched the film The Thin Blue Line. The film is stylistically terrific, haunting, and twisted. I loved it AND the music. I wanted the soundtrack, but it included the dialogue from the film (I nevertheless bought the soundtrack). Now Orange Mountain Music has released the soundtrack without the dialogue. Once again, Glass has created a masterful score. The music is appropriate as a filmscore, or it can stand on its own. The music is haunting, wonderful, beautiful. I can't praise this album enough. Buy this one!
