5 out of 5 stars "cinema's main stay themes prevail ~ City of Prague".......2004-08-15

What a crowning achievement to bring "Reel Chill:Cinematic Chillout Album", released by Silva America and featuring The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus ~ conductors are Mark Ayres, Paul Bateman, Rick Clark, James Fitzpatrick, Nic Raine and David Temple director of the chorus ~ one can only expect the highest quality of performances and quench the thirst of all "film-score-buffs".

Sit back and unleash the first disc with composers ~ Albinoni, Craig Armstrong, John Barry, Vladimir Cosma, Enya & Nicky Ryan, Handel, Francis Lai, Ennio Morricone, Sean O'Riorda, Nino Rota, Ryvichi Sakamoto and Vangelis ~ taking each film score cue "BILITIS", "CHARIOTS OF FIRE", "CINEMA PARADISO", "DIVA", "GALLIPOLI", "THE LORD OF THE RINGS:THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING", "BARRY LYNDON", "MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE", "MIDNIGHT COWBOY", "THE MISSION", "ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA", "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST", "ROMEO & JULIET" and "ROMEO + JULIET", with arrangements that soar and then simmer into pure meditation of grandeur ~ classic film music prevails, as orchestration comes to the surface with pure originality ~ one masterpiece after another is long last presented as it should have been, is cause for celebration ~ each cue is a distinctive gift for striking modernism, touching on the transition of the period in this planets history.

Second disc is waiting in the wings are composers ~ Samuel Barber, John Barry, Patrick Cassidy, James Horner, Mahler, Mascagni, Stanley Myers, Thomas Newman, Michael Nyman, Howard Shore, John Williams and Hans Zimmer/Lisa Gerrard ~ take a musical ride with "AMERICAN BEAUTY", "A.I. ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE", "DEATH IN VENICE", "DEER HUNTER", "GLADIATOR", "HANNIBAL", "THE LORD OF THE RINGS:RETURN OF THE KING", "ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE", "OUT OF AFRICA", "PATRIOT GAMES", "THE PIANO", "PLATOON", "RAGING BULL", "SOMEWHERE IN TIME" and "YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE" ~ our composers with passion and skill for exploring human emotions, coupled with a unique gift for striking exotic orchestral colors, make this with all it's splendor unforgettable ~ themes that ring with familiarity as each film comes to mind through music.

Silva America gives the collector a treasure of thirty film cues that any "film-score-buff" would die for ~ in the past James Fitzpatrick (producer), Reynold da Silva (executive producer), mastered by Rick Clark and David Stoner (release co-ordinator) have given us compilation with such expertise and this one is no exception ~ keep up the outstanding limited editions and deluxe package releases, with your signature tidbits for all film music fans that's in all of us...gotta love it!

Most people think of Christmas carols as originating from ancient--or at least olden-times, and indeed, many of the most enduring ones have survived for many centuries. Andrew Parrott and his Taverner Consort take us back seven centuries, in fact, and thoughtfully mix the old tunes ("Swete was the song," "This endere nyghth," "Nova! nova!") with more recent tunes. Parrott's musicians offer interesting takes on such familiar carols as "Silent Night" and "God rest ye merry, gentlemen." "Silent Night" sounds like an Austrian folk tune, complete with guitar accompaniment that reportedly was used in its original performance; "God rest ye..." is performed in the style of an English country church congregation--and uses a different tune from the one we usually hear. Various period instruments add to the color and flavor, and the arrangements are original and very effective. --David Vernier

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars My favorite Christmas CD of all time.......2006-12-21

This collection of Christmas music strives for authenticity in performance, right down to Old French pronunciation in "Il est né le divin enfant." The carols are of varying antiquity and presented, not in order of age, but in an order that makes for an enjoyable listening experience, by contrast. There is precision in singing, use of period instruments, and presentation in original languages. It all adds up to excellence. Further, it brings joy and delight to the receptive ear.

Another reviewer said there wasn't any joy in these performances, and I say, "Humbug!" As beauty is in the eye of the beholder, joy is in the ear of the listener, and I couldn't receive this music without being transported to bliss.

As to the first track ("Veni, Veni Emmanuel") and audibility issues many have complained about, it's apparent that the a capella singing gets louder and louder as the chant progresses and we, the listeners, are being given the experience of sitting in a large cathedral as the choristers make their processional from the distant back of the nave up the center aisle and into the choir stalls in the chancel. That's why the music is barely audible at first and gets gradually louder, until it has full of volume. It's also why it's the very first track -- the choristers are processing in to begin the concert.

Hearing "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht" performed using its original tune and what is held to be and very likely is the original guitar accompaniment from 1818 was a revelation -- I no longer sing the "improved" version of the tune that has become universal. It has the character of a Tyrolean folk song, light, joyous, reverent, and close to the hearts of the people singing and hearing it in that small Alpine church.

In fact, what's great about this album is that each carol conveys its original joy. The experience is enhanced by the welcome notes in the accompanying booklet that tell you about the history and background of each carol, the particulars of the version being performed, and more.

This CD is like a box of See's chocolates for the ear. The Taverner Consort, Singers and Players eventually came out with a second volume ("The Carol Album 2") and that's definitely worth having, too.

5 out of 5 stars $9.99 at iTunes... just thought I'd mention it.......2006-12-05

CD sounds divine. If you want this album, thought you might like to know iTunes has it available for download for $9.99. I just mention that since most sellers are treating it like a hard-to-get collector's item, and charging some startling prices even for used copies.

5 out of 5 stars My Very Favourite Christmas Album.......2005-12-25

Not only is this my own favourite, but so many friends have fallen in love with it hearing me playing it over the Christmas season, that I have frequently bought it as a (much appreciated!) Christmas gift. A wonderfully diverse mix of earlier Christmas music, performed with freshness and vigour. If I could only have one album of Christmas music in my collection, this would be it. (Messiah doesn't really count does it? It's not officially Christmas music!!)

4 out of 5 stars Something different -- very enjoyable.......2001-12-16

If this very stylish album does not have something that will please you, you are just too hard to please. With carols spanning seven centuries, in French, German, and English, from the old world and the new, this is a comprehensive survey of the Christmas carol.

The performances are not arranged chronologically, but rather in contrasting and complimentary order, alternating unaccompanied with accompanied, vocal with instrumental. Both the vocal and instrumental ensembles have a range of styles and sonorities. Compare, for example, the brash open sound of "The Babe of Bethlehem" and "Glory to God on High" with the restrained pure sound of "This endere nyghth" or the full sound of "Christum wir sollen loben schon."

The booklet contains notes and texts as well as a list of players, but do not identify the various soloists.

5 out of 5 stars fresh and witty.......2001-12-12

If you've never strayed into the Early Music racks, start here! And if you have 30" of Christmas CDs in your collection and half of them are Early Music and traditional, you're still going to love this! No muddy, pretentious, over-orchestrated stuff here. Just period instruments or fresh voices, and some gentle musical jokes. (The little-sung and wonderfully rhythmic "March of the Kings" instrumental starts out barely audible in the distance with the jingle of harness and bells, grows louder, then fades in the distance as though the magi and their magnificent procession had passed on. And "Il est ne', le divin enfant", which mentions the reedy voice of the musette, is played on one.)

5 out of 5 stars The Best Christmas Collection.......2005-12-09

Well it's been a while since I wrote a review.

This is the greatest Album I know of. It includes forty or should I say thirty-eight great tracks as two of them I think aren't (Angels & The Power Of Love). It includes Happy Xmas (War Is Over), Do They Know It's Christmas, Merry Xmas Everybody and many more. Many cover versions of songs like Last Christmas and Fairytale Of New York are also included. It is still a great CD.

If someone asks for a Christmas CD, get this one.

Jake Potts

5 out of 5 stars A strong collection.......2003-11-05

Over the last few years, the double-CD various artists compilation has become a tradition in Britain, especially with Christmas albums. There have been many such compilations, often repeating the same songs. This is a good one, including plenty of classics but also a few less obvious selections.

Many classic UK hits are here (and one or two non-hits that should have been), including Happy Xmas (John Lennon), Do they know its Christmas (Band aid), Merry Christmas everybody (Slade), I wish it could be Christmas every day (Wizzard), Wonderful Christmastime (Paul McCartney), Baby it's cold outside (Tom Jones with Cerys from Catatonia), Step into Christmas (Elton John), Little Saint Nick (Beach boys), Rocking around the Christmas tree (Brenda Lee), In dulci Jubilo (Mike Oldfield), Stop the cavalry (Jona Lewie), The power of love (Frankie goes to Hollywood), I believe in Father Christmas (Greg Lake), A spaceman came travelling (Chris De Burgh), Mistletoe and wine (Cliff Richard), White Christmas (Bing Crosby), The Christmas song (Nat King Cole), Walking in the air (Aled Jones), Lonely this Christmas (Mud) and Millennium prayer (Cliff Richard).

Fairytale of New York, Driving home for Christmas, When a child is born, Last Christmas, A winter's tale and Santa baby were also huge UK hits, but the original artists are not here - the versions of these songs are all covers.

Many other pop and rock singers of the eighties and nineties are also represented. There are excellent original Christmas songs by Robbie Williams and S club 7, while there are fine covers of classic songs by several others.

This is a very strong compilation of Christmas music with something for everybody.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Man of God.......2005-06-14

To Gary Mays and Nu Era I just wan to Thank you guys so much for Blessing my life. Your Cd projects are awesome and I know that somebody accepted Christ as their personal savior. I had they opputunity to see you perform in Houston, Texas at the NABJ Conferance and The Spirit of the Lord sat upon us...thanks to your worship team ushering in the presence of the Lord. I Love "Nu Creation"...I have some of my friends hooked on your Cd.
I often wonder why you have not as yet won a stellar? Yes I believe that your cd is that great. As a matter of fact, I am a jock for the Fm gospel station in New Orleans,Praise 94.9FM, and I played "Nu Creation", so if anybody hasn't heard they will!
But thank you again for being obedient and yeilding to the voice of God with these two projects.
The Cd's are not a replica sort to speak of Kirk Franklin but they have a uniqueness about them that reaches out to people of all backgrounds. If you are looking to buy this product...I promise you you will not be disappointed. I think that these two cd's are better than Tye Tribbet. I can't wait till the third CD releases. And Thank you cd now for selling the cd.
Hopefully I can get you to New Orleans to do a concert or something..can't wait to see you perform again. (...)
In Christ

5 out of 5 stars This is how you follow-up a debut!!!!.......2005-03-10

This album definitely showed growth and progress. Gary took everything they did on the first album and took it to the next level. I buried my grandfather late last year and Jesus My Everything got me through that day (one of the most difficult of my life). This album is incredible start to finish. I NEVER thought I could enjoy anyone other than Donnie doing "This Christmas", but these guys even pulled that off. This album WILL bless you whether you are a musician, a vocalist, a music lover, or just a believer. Give it a shot and support an independent artist. IT's not an easy task to try and do it without a major label backing you or a major distribution deal. I applaud you Gary.

5 out of 5 stars GARY MAYES has SKILLZ!.......2004-10-20

This album is on it! Gary definitely did a very good job on this 2nd album. Usually I don't to much care for remixes, but My Love For You(Dangerously In Love Remix) is so tight! My brother loved it so much that he made it a choir song, and we sing it til we start shouting. Literally! Kim Burrell did a wonderful job on Go Tell It, as usual, that girl is AWESOME. All Hail To The King is my favorite Christmas song on this cd. This cd is played year round, no lie, Christmas season or not. This group is the next Contemporary Gospel group to blow up. Not only is BOTH of their cd's great, but Gary Mayes is a very kind person as well. I've actually had the pleasure of meeting him and speaking with him on the phone, and he was very nice and down to earth and ready to fellowship with OKC! Which WILL happen one day soon. I can't wait for more releases from this phenominal group! Everyone be BLESSED!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!.......2004-02-23

Gary Mayes & Nu Era are a fresh new group out of Houston, TX who have taken the independent gospel music scene by storm and are soon to break into the mainstream gospel industry! For those of you who haven't experienced their ministry, I suggest you immediately pick up both albums and add them to your music collection; I PROMISE you will NOT be disappointed. The NE X-perience Vol. II is their sophomore album, and once again I'm amazed at their ability to take you from high praise to intense worship and back again. Although this is a Christmas CD, I guarantee you'll be spinning this one year-round, and it's evident that Gary has definitely taken it to the next level with this new project. It's got some gut-wrenching gospel renditions of Christmas favorites along w/ some awesome praise & worship that you can listen to at ANY time. Not only are the production and the choir on point, but Gary has amassed some of the baddest soloists on Earth to be featured on this one project. Shawm McLemore (formerly w/ John P. Kee) takes the lead on "All Hail" & reminds us why we miss his smooth vocal stylings so much and Ms. Kim Burrell throws DOWN on "Go Tell It" like only Kim can with the choir and band providing more than adequate support. For those who remember Gene Moore from the first album he returns to usher us in one more time on "Jesus My Everything," and words do not even begin to describe how Nikita Clegg (Kurt Carr singers)had me shoutin around my house when I first heard her blowin "Don't 4get the Baby" like her mind had gone bad!! WHEW!! In short, the entire album is truly a blessing and is essential to any real gospel lover's collection.

Be Blessed!
