a trip back to my college days.......2007-07-16
definitely of its time but also timeless.......2007-03-15
People who know "Fire" from the oldies radio stations will be baffled by stuff like "Spontaneous Apple Creation", but behind the strangeness is very solid music. People who, like me, like music that pushes the boundaries will certainly find plenty here to interest them.
This album is brilliant. I've had it on LP for a long time, and only recently bought the CD. I'm glad to say that it stands the test of time very well. Highly recommended!
Pure Classic Sixties COME AND BUY.......2006-07-28
This is a very sixties HIPPIE era kind of album,the sort of music you will either love or hate.
If you are into the present day nonsense such as rap or garage then this album is certainly not for you.
For those who grew up with King Crimson - Captain Beefheart- Frank Zappa etc then you will certainly enjoy this sixties spell of nostalgia but be warned some of it is an acquired taste.
If you really like his style of music search out these other Arthur classics
Gallactic Zoo Dossier - Journey - and his very unusual STRANGELANDS all released when he had formed his very experimental Kingdom Come.
His first album though will lead you on a special adventure when music was music and not the nonsense we are dished out today.
It's a crazy, crazy, crazy world..........2006-06-09
'TCWofAB' is an organ dominated disc (the band did not feature an electric guitar). The next most noticable feature of most tracks is Brown's falsetto wailings, sort of like Frankie Vallie on a wicked concoction of steroids and amphetamines. I'm not sure why the mono versions of the first album side are offered up first here, but unless you want to hear the mono and stereo versions back-to-back, you'll have to skip ahead at some point. I skipped the mono versions and headed directly to track six to pick up the stereo version of the album in its entirety. You'll have to trudge through a prelude and a fanfare (both setting the groundwork for the main course with verses like "there's only one way out... bathe yourself in fire...") before getting to the meat of the disc on track three, Brown's one trick pony... albeit a great one... 'Fire'. Following the 'Fire'-works is 'Come and Buy', a mid-tempo continuation on the Hell and damnation theme ("the price of your entry is sin") and the slow-down dirge, 'Time/Confusion'.
Side two of the original vinyl abandons the 'Fire' concept, offering two covers and the two nominations for 'Best Song After Fire'. An organ dominated version of Screamin' Jay Hawkins 'I Put a Spell On You' is the opener, certainly more sinister but less bold than Creedence Clearwater's take on the same track. While 'I Put a Spell On You' fits Brown's occult demeanor to a tee, the second cover features another Brown's (in this case James Brown) composition, 'I've Got Money'. Arthur Brown's vocals come off as a David Clayton-Thomas wanna-be, distinguished only by his trademark, manic wailings. Another throw-away is Brown's 'Spontaneous Apple Creation', a pseudo-psychedelic contribution on the order of 'Incense and Peppermints' with soulful sound FX aplenty. Next to 'Fire', tracks 13 and 15 are the finest on the disc. Brown's vocals on 'Rest Cure' are David Bowie-ish, and the track is led by a catchy thumbing bass riff (with a tempo reminicent of The Rascals' 'Groovin') which provides a welcome respite from the non-stop organ leads. The last track, 'Child of My Kingdom', is a seven minute endeavor (the longest selection on the album) best described as mixed-tempo boogie-rock featuring a little bit of everything, including a honky-tonk piano and a segment of whistling.
Despite Brown's rather unique, vibrant, and extreme persona, the biggest drawback to this album is lack of diversity in sound and imagination. Too many tracks simply sound alike, and the first album side fails to deliver a coherant message on Hell, evil, and damnation (I'm not entirely sure if Brown is glamorizing the Devil or damning him... but either way he's accorded plenty of respect!). Perhaps it's meant more as a non-judgemental musical documentary. I think a listen to 'TCWofAB' is essential for any fan of circa-1970 rock and roll (certainly Brown was breaking ground for artists such as Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath here), but I don't believe the album, rumored to be Brown's best, warrants repeated playtime.

Excellent!.......2005-07-21
Cruel Crazy Beautiful World is Johnny Clegg's best........2005-07-07
My favorite album of all time!.......2004-07-23
The song "Jericho" could very well describe the conditions at Guantanamo Bay, the recent Abu Ghraib prison scandal, and the wall being built in Israel: "standing at the gates/this is Jericho/and the walls reach up to the stars/and outside we were singing psalms/such a strange, strange place/for we are the prisoners of the prisoners we have taken/and the prophets' dreams are now forsaken."
In "One (Hu) Man, One Vote", Johnny sings, "the west is sleeping in a fragile freedom/forgotten is the price that was paid/ten thousand years of marching through a veil of tears/to break a few links in these chains/these things come to us by way of much pain/don't let us slip back into the dark."
Its not all politics, though. His catchy, danceable love song, "Dela" is guaranteed to get your feet and body moving. It was featured in the film "George of the Jungle" and remains one of the best love songs I've ever heard.
My personal favorite song is "Woman Be My Country", for its beautiful melody and lyrics, sweetened by a saxophone. This song is for anyone who feels like a stranger in his own country, an ex-patriot who disagrees with his government as it relates to the world. When we feel powerless to change the cold, impersonal bureaucracy, we seek refuge in the ones nearest and dearest to our hearts: "woman be my country/'till my country can be mine/hide me deep inside your borders/in these dark and troubled times/remember me my innocence/before I drown in a sea of lies/woman be my country/'till my country can be mine."
In short, this album is Johnny's most moving, brilliant, and best work. It is emblematic of an era in history, a soundtrack to the times, that transcends its era to represent relevancy in current situations. It is quite simply, Johnny Clegg's own "Sgt. Pepper" or "Pet Sounds". On top of that, the album cover is also one of the best ones I've seen and perhaps the best one of nearly 25 albums of his. Highly recommended, especially for any fan of world music, anyone who wants to hear a different sound than they hear on the radio, or people interested in the politics of Africa, the developing world, the Cold War, or the remarkable years that 1989-1991 were.
The Best Johnny Clegg Album.......2003-11-04
It is that friction that informs "Cruel Crazy Beautiful World." As soon as the insistent chorus of "One (Hu)man, One Vote" pounds out of the speaker, you can feel the urgency that beats behind it. Yet the heart that wants to find a better world for his children in the title song right after "One Vote" moves the urgency from the head to the heart and feet. In fact it's hard to not swing or dance while this album plays. It's like a challenge Savuka issues to your spirit and your social conscience. You need to think while you listen to "Cruel Crazy Beautiful World." And more than that, you need to dance.

Pure Gershwin was Michael Feinstein's first album, and it remains one of his best. It may not have the production values of his later Gershwin tributes, Nice Work if You Can Get It (1996) and Michael & George (1998), but it simply and directly presents Feinstein in his piano-bar days, singing to his own tasteful accompaniments with occasional contributions from bass and drums and a second piano. Establishing the patterns for his later albums, he sings unjustly neglected verses to familiar songs, uncovers some never-before-recorded gems ("The World Is Mine," "What Causes That"), and provides song-by-song notes. Longtime friend Rosemary Clooney guests on "Isn't It a Pity?" --David HoriuchiCustomer Reviews:
you cant beat an Ira lyric........2007-01-05
A Wonderful CD.......2005-05-19
Quiet and elegant.......2003-04-20
Disappointed.......2003-04-10
I was extremely disappointed. Feinstein seems to suck the life out of Gershwin's compositions, a feat I would have previously thought impossible. Though I concede that vocalists are free to reinterpret songs (many to a great success, as in Louis Armstrong's and Ella Fitzgerals's enjoyable versions of Gershwin), I think Feinstein's lazy tempos "loungy" voice make the tracks on this album boring and annoying.
I have loved to listen to and sing these songs my entire life. I just wanted to warn listeners who perhaps, like myself, enjoy George Gershwin's music for its beautiful clarity and energy (as easily experienced through Gershwin's own recordings, early interpretations by artists such as the Astaires, and even recent broadway "Crazy For You") that they will not experience any feeling of the sort from Michael Feinstein.
Amidst all the gushing that has recently been done over him, I found Michael Feinstein to have attempted to murder "Liza" and the other songs on this album. He merely displays a very unexceptional voice and poor interpretive taste. Fans beware, Feinstein proves that it is possible to make a bad cd of Gershwin songs. I'd recommend listening elsewhere.
they can't take that album away from me.......2002-05-09
the listenability of this album may stem from the fact that it is a bare-bones arrangement, with two pianos, a bass and drums, a la a jazz trio, with no embellishment, so michael feinstein's then sincere and unsophisticated voice is the featured instrument.
i heartily recommend this album, as every song on it is a gem and feinstein's voice is more appealing than on the two later albums, when he jazzed it up with what sounds like an echo chamber and other electronic enhancements and he seems to be doing the songs by the numbers.
feinstein's version of "liza," slowed down to ballad form and plaintively phrased, is the best i have ever heard. the duet with rosemary clooney on "isn't it a pity," again brings out the best of feinstein's then-new voice and shows why george's (clooney) aunt is rightfully considered a jazz legend.
the combined "he loves and she loves/how long has this been going on" is another melodic/poignant highlight, while the album's finale, "someone to watch over me," is a stirring anthem to wanting and needing someone and is done with vocal and instrumental passion; it brings this collection of songs to a fitting crescendo.
for a lawyer's kid from columbus, ohio who started out cataloguing gershwin estate material for the reclusive ira and then began singing the songs for family and friends, michael feinstein has done all right for himself. he has become the recognized interpreter of the gershwin legacy, sort of the same way his pseudo-cousin, john, jr. feinstein, has become the recognized interpreter of the bob knight legacy... .
michael feinstein may have hit a home run his first time up with this album, and it may be his best, as it is the purest and most joyful celebration of gershwin tunes, while the others are fancier, more jazzed up and ponderous and less appealing.
the other albums are certainly not bad, though, and i recommend buying them to fill out a feinstein or gershwin collection, but this one is by far the best one to get if you are only going to get one as a sample of either's work. it is nice work, and you can get it.

Winds Of Change Blow For Scorpions.......2007-01-20
CRAZY WORLD ROCKS.......2006-12-12
The beginning of the end.......2006-10-01
Some of the songs are good, but if you wanna hear a better version of them buy "Live bites". There you have a rescued Tease me, please me; Hit between the eyes and Crazy world. I never realized how these tracks really rocked until I listened to them live.
Don't believe her started the tradition of boring No.2 tracks (which continues until now) for Scorpions albums. Yes, Scorpions biggest hit appears here, the so called Wind of Change. I remember how exciting was to first hear this song on the radio and say: "Wow! It's Scorpions! It's on the radio!" and then just hate it for hearing it every second, everywhere. It was just too much. Besides, this is not Scorpions best ballad, Walking on the edge or Lady starlight (just two examples among many many others) deserve much more attention than this one. Ok it was the symbol of the perestroika generation, but it's so sappy that I can't listen to it again. Besides, it also started a generation of Scorpions "love and peace" songs (Under the same sun, Does anyone know, White dove) that I just can't begin to like.
Anyway, this record represents the first flaw in many many time for the Scorpions, and the beginning of their 90's evident decadence.
A solid outing that scored big on the charts........2006-08-23
Money and Fame show the Scorpions could still spit and snarl with the best of them if they chose to but there is precious little display of bared fangs elsewhere on the album. The ballad Send Me an Angel, tacked onto the end of the album like some sort of bonus track actually became a hit in a number of territories. Not sure why but hey, nobody asked me!
The real saving grace for this album is the fact that it produced Wind of Change. This monster of a hit would not of struck gold at any other time, it was written and released at a time when certain historic events were taking place. There truly was a Wind of Change going through Europe in the couple of years after this album was put out and that's why heavy rock fans of a certain vintage will always 'zone out' when they hear this song on the radio. Which you often do as it transcended metal or hard rock, it captured the zeitgeist of the moment to perfection, encapsulating a feeling of optimism that fluttered and die in Europe a few years later, and then in the US a few years after that.
BUT - as towering as that song is, and as solid as a few of the rockers are this is not an essential album for the casual Scorps fan unless you pick it up 2nd hand cheaply. For the casual hard rock fan I'd suggest you get yourself a few other releases instead, those being Virgin Killer (1977), Tokyo Tapes (78) and maybe even Best of Rockers and Ballads (89) - the latter two particularly being a good taste tester for this bands product up to the end of the 80's.

A Great Julie Andrews CD.......2002-01-27
I found the material to be very well put together giving the listener selections from My Fair Lady, Camelot, The Sound of Music, Victor/Victoria and others. What more could you want?
As for Ms. Andrews, she is superb. There is simply no one like her. I have heard comments that prior to the infamous throat surgery she was unable to handle the difficult material and hit those high notes. This is just not true. All you have to do is listen to these songs recorded in the early 90's to know that she still had a marvelous voice. Lets hope that one day she will be able to sing and record again. If not, these may be her last recordings so treasure them.
The My Fair Lady suite is wonderful and Ms. Andrews definitely hit the high note at the end of "I Could Have Danced All Night".
Her version of "Edelweiss" and "The Sound of Music" are lovely.
Also worth listening to is "Living in the Shadows" written for the Broadway production of Victor/Victoria so you won't find it on the movie soundtrack. The lyrics are by Leslie Bricusse who also penned "Crazy World", which is another great selection on this cd.
Overall this is a cd worth having in your collection, so buy it today. Otherwise you are missing out.

A Zen Like CD.......2007-01-19
"Cause I don't know
Where your journey goes
Or how long it will take to unfold
But as long as we keep this moment shining in the dark
I will be watching over every beat of your heart"
I'd put my hand on his heart and feel the tenderness and fragility of his heart in my heart. I knew with certainty that the tenderness and fragility in my heart had made a connection with tenderness and fragility of his heart when I was filled with ecstasy and grace.
As I listened to her other songs, I noticed that I like them as well so I decided to buy the CD. It took a while to find her CD (not in stores in US) and even longer to order it. My soul searching is very intense lately and that might be why I now find heart drawn to another song on this CD, "Everything in its Time".
"Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead
How long till my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
So many people on this merry-go-round
Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and I try to pray
In the silence I can hear him say
The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
I often feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe"
Her songs talk to me because she writes from everyday life material and sings from her heart. That is why as I go through my life, I relate to different songs of hers. Of course, this greatly influences how I rate the CD; how it connects to me, how it warms my heart and Not the sophistication of the music, the voice, the arrangement, the quality of the recording, etc. Still, I am sure my holistic experience would not have been so great without the quality of all aspects which make this a great CD. I plan to give it as Gift to those whom I hold close to heart.
not as good as her first.......2006-01-27
Still it's an ok album and personally I think it's worth it if you can get it used on Amazon. It just isn't as special as her first one. Listen to longer samples at CDBaby.com .

She does not force her voice toward you yet the result of hearing her music is indelible. She complements her vocal clarity with her accompished piano in waves of emotion. Corrinne's music is hers and when she sings the whole experience of listening is honest. Her melodies here are hardly ephemeral, they're quite memorably lovely but it's her warmth that you carry with you once you've been struck by her music.
