Customer Reviews:
Composer, premiere player, soloist - Yin Cheng-zong's authentic Yellow River Concerto.......2007-07-03
I owned this disc for more than 12 years already. The CD cover was already the third one.
Lang Lang recently made a new recording of this piece with DG.
I heard master Yin play this piece (in Lang Lang's stead) last evening in Hong Kong Cultural Centre, and he moved me to tears.
Yin Cheng-zong is over 60 years old now. He lived through the various turmoils of China. It requires life experience and patriotism to interpret this piece, so very sorry, I haven't heard any foreign pianist playing this piece yet, let alone on record.
HOWEVER, Yin Cheng-zong did made a recording of this piece with Claudio Abbado, but the recording has never been released by the PRC official broadcasting agency. Yin himself claims that this was one of the most memorable performances he had of this piece - Abbado understands the piece so well that Yin was highly amazed!
The foremost player and interpretor of this piece remains Yin Cheng-zong, but I must say that ALSO hearing Lang Lang playing this piece a couple of days ago (also in Hong Kong), Lang's playing of this piece is vastly improving.
something missing and deadly wrong here.......2006-11-07
when i listened to this concerto, the first impression was something deadly wrong. if you want to portray and describe a river, the best way is to start from its origin, it might be just a trickle of dripping water and a small stream at first, then when going down, meet and entwine with other small streams, it gradually evolving into a great river all way down to the ocean. that's the way how you use the music to portray a river.
but the composer of this 'yellow river' was educated in the chinese communist system, his composition was still dominated subjectively by the blind chinese revolutionary passion, the concerto from the very beginning sounds like listening to a cultural revolution marching song, banging and pounding so headstrong against almost all the foreign elements, condemning so viciously and so mercilessly with hatred, like revolutionary army at wars, like those stupid formula musicals, songs and plays created in the cultural revolution era to please the butcher chairman mao. there's almost no big difference here. when you listen to this concerto, only a small part and portion make you feel like something good and wonderful offered by the river, most part of it sounds too clueless military.
we all knew that the chinese civilization and it's culture was originated from the yellow river, it's like a mother of china. yes, yellow river is always unpreditable and changing, its inevitable floodings in the history caused a lot of deaths and tragedies, but a river could never be always so merciless and vicious. this concerto and this music is not an appropriate interpretation of the yellow river but a chinese communist revolutionary marching song by a die hard communist composer. it's a very bad concerto actually.
Contains many piano solo treasures.......2006-03-26
The most important thing about this CD is its beautiful solo piano music from classical Chinese literature. You'll be amazed and delighted.
Trust me~ You will never get tired of it........2004-08-07
This is an excellent album that worth adding to your collection. Moreover, such great music for such low price, there is no reason you shouldn't buy it.
Very nice Music.......2003-01-15
I've heard The Yellow River Cantata for long time before I got this CD, this CD would be a very nice CD on your collection. And when I came to Yellow River (Hoang He) in the summer and spring, I knew this concerto said the trust: The river is always changing, savage and quiet. There is enough Asian spirit on this CD. As you know, every old chinese word and song are based on a story (called Gu dian, means classical) and if you know much about chinese stories you will feel completly this CD. One of famous Gu Dian is the fighting of Chinese people against the flood every year at the river's banks, for thousand years. You can find more information and "Gu dian" about this river in Chinese histories or stories.

Diamond.......2003-10-08
....in the rough. One of the post disco albums that was slept on. This band released their follow up to the disco classic "IM CAUGHT UP (IN ONE NIGHT LOVE AFFAIRS)" in 1981. The exuberant ballad "ITS WONDERFUL" showcases lead singer (The great JOCELYN BROWN's) earthy vocals. The power and tenderness in which she sings of a great love shows you she was in peak form and was definitely one the great voices of disco and r&b at the time. She penned that tune as well. Another winner is the slow jam "MAKE IT LAST FOREVER" (Not to be confused with Keith Sweat's version)
The dance jams are hear of course "PAY GIRL" and the funky remake of "AINT NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH" in which BROWN delivers an intense performance on a funky beat. The undeniable "KNOCK OUT (LETS GO ANOTHER ROUND)" will have you singing the chorus for days! This is a sleeper of a album for late 70's/early 80's r&b buffs. All the cuts are well produced and crafted. This group always delivers consistent efforts and the listen is not a bore with just 7 tracks. It is actually too short and leaves you wanting more. With JOCELYN BROWN singing on all the songs you just cant go wrong. Groove on!
The Strongest of Inner Life's Albums.......2001-07-25
The Cd packaging does not give the original year of release, and elsewhere there has been some confusion whether this was Inner Life's second or third album. It is, however, their best release. Lead singer Jocelyn Brown is in the forefront of the mix, strong and recognizable in each track and even author of one track ("Pay Girl"). The original album starts and ends with ballads, the first being an especially good torch song, and contains three good dance tunes ("Ain't No Mountain," "Let's Go Another Round," "Let's Get This Thing Together," with the latter being a previously unreleased bonus track.) While I never thought that this version of the Ashford and Simpson classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" was a definitive one, it and the other tracks grow more memorable with repeated listening. As an album, the whole holds together well and is more than a home to a good extended track padded with filler material. It is one of the better disco era long plays.

Still Her Best Yet.......2007-01-12
As with many top-notch singers shnice shines on her ballads. "I'm Cryin", "Loving You", & "Silent Prayer" produced by Narada Michael Walden (of "How Can I Ease The Pain" Lisa Fischer). She has a few surprises also with both versions of "I Love Your Smile" & the remix (remix by Hakeem, of The Boys). This is THE Shanice album to get if you are to get one. Wonderful R&B
Above Average 2nd Set Could Be Better!.......2006-08-03
With 'Inner Child' (1991), Shanice had hits with 'I Love Your Smile', 'Silent Prayer', and her rendition of Minnie Riperton's Loving You' was stunning, BUT the CD sufferes from a few filler tracks (including interludes!!). Aside from the filler, I'd recommend 'Inner Child', but prepare to use your 'skip button' a few times! Also, if you own 'Inner Child', consider remastering it by adding BONUS TRACKS like 'Saving Forever For You' (fr.'Beverly Hills 90210' SDTK 1992), 'Don't Wanna Love You' (fr.'Boomerang' SDTK 1992), and THE KILLER JAM 'It's For You' (fr.'Meteor Man' SDTK 1993). I'm suprised the record company didn't do this already, but what can you expect!!
Peace, SD

Shanice's inner child is alive and well!.......2004-10-19
Shanice lets her listeners know up front that yes, she does have an inner child, and not only is it alive and well, it is truly visible. Shanice makes it known that she is not only one of the best singers to ever enter the industry, but that she also has a playful side, which is shown on this album. From the silly interludes to the simplistic song lyrics, Shanice shows you that her inner child shines!
The album offers an about even amount of both slow and faster tempoed songs, which is good for those who don't just like to hear one tempo on albums they listen to. "I Love Your Smile" is the album's most successful, and perhaps best single. The song made teenagers and even many adults smile. The catchy chorus and creative versus helped to give "I Love Your Smile" the success that it had. Shanice covered Minnie Ripperton's "Lovin' You" on this album. She really shows her vocal range on this song. One will never wonder why she was given a record contract after listening to this song. "I'm Crying" and "You Were the One" are other beautiful ballads Shanice included on this album. These songs are not only beautifully sung, but they have a deep meaning to them which a lot of people can relate to. Sure, Shanice has a playful side, but she also shows that she has a more serious side with the mid-tempoed "Peace in the World" and "Silent Prayer".
Shanice shows us that she can cover all types of songs on her album. The album is definitely a good listen, but it's not perfect. It is surely worth buying and keeping for years to come.

I THINK THE SONG CALLED SHANICE-I LOVE YOUR SMILE IS REALLY GOOD.I'VE BEEN WANTING TO HEAR THIS FOR AGES.I'VE BEEN WANTING TO HEAR THIS BECAUSE MY AUNTIE GITA HAD NAMED ME AFTER HER BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS LOVED MY SMILE WHEN I WAS A BABY AND STILL DOES.
(...)
A mediocre album.......2003-12-11
I had her "21" album and was
rather disappointed. "Inner Child" is much better and this time you can really
hear her voice. On 21 she's just whispering along. Inner child features the
hit "I love your smile", the cover of "Loving you" and the single "I'm
crying". Most tracks are written by N.M. Walden . It sounds typical Walden
and very 90s. It's ok but not my favourite.

A Nice Time Capsule.......2006-04-30
If you want to know where House got its sound and how it all got started this CD is required listening. Original House is basically DISCO. Everyone who calls themselves DJs should have ANY AND ALL of Larry Levan's music available because without Him neither Paradise Garage NOR HOUSE music and it's many subgenres (GARAGE Music being one and owes its NAME to the legendary club)would have been what they were. His music selections were not just TOP 40 songs or the garrish POP MUSIC format that has infested modern music today.The songs were better yet the description of the Soul Of A Man. How many DJs TRULY do it like Larry Levan did? I doubt you will find any no matter how good these Djs out here are now there had to be one to pave the way for all the rest.Larry Levan was that one. Buy this CD if you don't have it!!!!
Classic Deep Disco Collection.......2005-11-19
Larry Levan snd Salsoul?? How much more can be said other than of corse this is classic by all means. If you're new to deep disco then this is a great place to start your collection. For those of u who already know this nothing more can be said. MUAHH
Worth the cost for "Make It Last Forever" Alone!!!!.......2005-03-25
This compilation is one of the VERY few that feature the full length version of Jocelyn Brown's Garage classic "Make It Last Forever." EVERYTIME I hear the first few bars of that song I go back to Paradise...and remember hearing the song while up on the roof watching the sun come up. I would always head toward the floor, because Larry would work this song...gonna make it last forever!!! An essential Larry Levan classic!!!!!!!!!!
No mixing!.......2003-09-11
Very good tracks, but didn't mix any of the great songs. A little dissappointed, but will keep the CD anyway. If your not looking for a mix then this CD will give you the enjoyment you need from a Great DJ like Larry Levan.

SOUNDS OF BLACKNESS' "MERCY.."MAKES THIS BUY MOST WORTHY!.......2003-03-01
I first heard "God is Love/Mercy Mercy Me" on radio and got hooked on the song. When I found out it was by Sounds of Blackness, I searched every music store for their CD, and even on the web but couldn't find the song. Then I chanced upon it on this used CD. Man, the transition from the first part (GOD IS LOVE) a funky dance-beat Gospel inspired tune to the second part (Mercy Me) is a work of a genius. You should hear this one. The rest is so-so but this one cut makes the whole CD worthwhile to buy! Thanks, Sounds of Blackness and to seller tomhiatt2002!
Great Interpretations of Classics.......2002-10-23
I really do love the music of Marvin Gaye and his work. To have it reinterpreted by so many different people presents a real challenge. Yet it works. Not incredibly well. But good enough to buy and listen to the variety of interpretations. They do put melodic, rapping and lyrical spins onto the work which in some ways does succeed in making it more their own stand alone interpretations rather than simply reduxes.
A great buy......perhaps go for the used price. There are some products that are materially/work product overpriced but are still worth a hearty, avid listening.
Fantastic!.......2001-10-11
I first heard this while deployed in Italy.
The music of Marvin Gaye is beautiful, and the artists on the album give stellar performances. Their renditions are soulful and delivered from the heart. Don't let the fact that the cover says 'Various Artists' throw you off! This is wonderful.
A Fitting Tribute to One of Music's GREATS!.......2001-02-19
Marvin Gaye was truly a unique artist, and this album of Gaye standards as interpreted by others adds to his legendary status. Beginning with daughter Nona's turn on the title cut, the CD triumphs on every single selection. The respective artists do not try to mimic Gaye; they simply do it their way without altering the passion of Gaye's lyrics.
Bono is superlative in his rendition of "Save the Children," BoyZ II Men blend their harmonies effectively on "Let's Get it On," while the very soulful Lisa Stansfield is just right on "Just to Keep You Satisfied." Madonna's "I Want You," slower than the original, retains Gaye's heartfelt plea to his intended paramour. "Stubborn Kind of Fellow" by Motown label mate Stevie Wonder is pure fun. Finally, Sounds of Blackness do justice to "God is Live/Mercy Mercy Me," making it perfect for the dancehall as well as the choir stand.
Marvin would be proud of this tribute........2000-12-11
Every single song on this album is a wonderful tribute in itself to Marvin Gaye. Each artist puts their own touch on it, and makes it special, from the wonderful harmonies of Boyz 2 Men, the pulsating, haunting 'I want you' from Madonna and Massive Attack, and every other track on this album; Marvin would indeed be proud. For anyone who loves music from, and for the soul this is a must.

Album Description
"We invite you to enjoy and dance to this music, which springs from our earliest village memories: songs our parents sang to us, the poly-rhythms we danced to in the moonlight, the lilting harmonies we enjoyed at the palm-wine vendor's cottage. We recorded it in the old-fashioned way, with only our voices, hand drums, percussions, and acoustic guitars. It brings a message of love, from the African soil which gave birth to us all, and from our blessed ancestors, to whom we offer our thanks and praise."
--Babá Ken Okulolo and the Nigerian Brothers
Nigerian master musician Babá Ken Okulolo is one of the few popular African musicians of today whose roots extend deep into traditional village life and folk music. Better known as the bandleader whose warm, smiling personality enlivens the popular Afro-beat band Kotoja and the all-star electric West African Highlife Band, in this acoustic project he and the Nigerian Brothers bring forth the universal healing magic of African music with their sweet vocal harmonies and intricate, intoxicating rhythms. This long-awaited, recording, "Songs from the Village," reveals rhythms from several cultures and includes lyrics in Urhobo, Yoruba, Itsekiri, Pidgin, and Hausa.

This is a fantastic album. Its very raw and not over-produced like a lot of albums out there. It really captures the warmth, simplicity, and honesty of the African way. A couple songs are simply multi-part harmony over almost hypnotic percussion using traditional instruments. The rest incorporate an acoustic guitar or two to provide a nice melody line. The singing is almost all in tribal language. On a couple songs they use their pidgin English a bit which at first may sound "un-African" but you get used to it especially when you realize that's part of their background. Very chill beautiful music.
Best of African roots music.......2004-04-24
If you are a fan or new to traditional African music, this recording must be added to your collection. The music is well recorded. Songs are listed to increase your listening pleasure. Great as a companion travel music in your car or for workout headsets. Best of all, a great educational material for musicologist and general music educators of all levels.

F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.!.......2006-02-02
I've got the original music (including v2 and v3), the books (the best is Heitland's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Book; still in print);
the 22 VHS tapes issued in the early 1990's (a haphazard collection issued in no particular order of episodes that boasted famous guest stars). Can I please get the whole series on DVD? I have not seen Mother Fear toying with Illya (The Children's Day Affair) in over 40 years.
At LAST the complete series ORIGINAL soundtrack, the wait is over!.......2005-07-12
Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.
Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.
And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.
Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.
This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.
Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.
So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.

Album Description
Highly anticipated second album from this experimental folk electronica ('folktronica'?) outfit. Features the critically praised single 'Woodcat', which combines Simon & Garfunkel-esque harmonies with stuttering electronics and an obsession with British cult film 'The Wicker Man'. And there's a lot more where that came from!. Full Time Hobby. 2006.

Absolutely gorgeous.......2006-08-31
More folk than electronic (at least compared to Four Tet, etc.), this is all strummed and fingerpicked guitars with a little glitchy accent here or there, and occasional tape-loop voices from instructional records (reminiscent of The Books). The tranquil, mellow rural vibe here is all their own, though, with a Bert Jansch or Richard Thompson British folk influence that lends it a depth that other "folktronica" acts can't deliver. Lyrics are good, too, and actually an important part of the music vs. just another atmospheric element. If there's any criticism, it's a little uniform and some might find it too similar beginning to end, but I appreciate that they know they've got a mood they're trying to sustain throughout.

Awesome but reject the shamanism.......2003-10-16
I love Peter Kater and most of his music without occult or shaman titles in them, because the truth is, it is part of a cult thinking and spiritual darkness. I studied it for years as I did other cults and I know people firsthand who were involved with the illuminated cult and "ism. Otherwise he has an excellent talent and beautiful spirit in music and melodic creation on the piano and you cannot deny that he has a God-given gift, if and when he ever acknowledges that is truly where it comes from.
from Solo Piano Publications.......2002-07-15
"Inner Works" is a collection of pieces that Peter Kater originally created for television, dance, theater, the 1999 World Ski Championships, and the 2000 Summer Olympics. Several of the thirteen tracks are sparkling new arrangements of pieces that were released on previous albums, while others are on this CD for the first time. Kater's classical roots come to the forefront effortlessly, and his pianism is extraordinary. A favorite of mine for several years, Kater is one of the best pianists out there, and this CD showcases his playing and composing gifts at their best. Other featured musicians include Paul McCandless on oboe and peny whistle (hey - those aren't strings!), David Darling on cello, Cecil Hooker on violin, and Randy Chavez on guitar. Several pieces are fully orchestrated, with RJ Miller conducting.
"Inner Works" opens and closes with big, Olympic-sized pieces, "Overture" and "Birds of Prey", respectively, but most of the other pieces are quieter and more introspective. "Eclipse" is a beautiful waltz for piano and violin duet. "Forbidden Dreams" is a haunting piece with a sense of searching and longing - heartbreak set to music. "Candlelight Waltz" is a somewhat more upbeat version of "Dreamtime Waltz" from "Pagan Saints" by Flesh and Bone (Kater and Chris White), this time a lovely piano solo. "Elusive Nights" is a powerful piece for piano and orchestra - dark and a little mysterious, it really tugs at the heartstrings and would be great in an emotional movie scene. "River" is a wonderful new arrangement of a piece that appeared on "Birds of Prey" (1999). Fully orchestrated this time, the piano still haunts with that catchy rhythm and simple but compelling melody. I haven't been able to get this one out of my head!
This is a really great album, pure and simple! Peter Kater has been creating outstanding albums for twenty years, and with this, his thirtieth album, he continues to only get better. This is extraordinary contemporary music with a classical flair, and I love it! Very highly recommended!
