5 out of 5 stars Simply Heavy.......2007-07-25

Coming from a 'non-Jamaican' this work can only be described as heavy roots rock reggae in its finest form. The organization of the percussion gives life to the message conveyed by songs like 'African Unity' et al. This is Majek at his best- his ability to exploit the potential of music to evoke strong emotions is widely employed in this great album. Even his rendition of classics like the Eagles' 'Hotel California' and Hendrix's 'Hey Joe' succumb to his originality. This is no doubt a great album and a worthy attestation to the musical abilities of the reggae talent from Nigeria, West Africa.

4 out of 5 stars Some excellent songs on this CD.......1998-11-29

Three of these songs are excellent Roots Reggae songs!!!! Kpangolo, Promised Land and African Unity are 3 of Majek's best ever songs!! The others are listenable and overall this CD is pretty good. Hey Joe and Hotel California are 2 classic rock remakes that are interesting.

In his score for the The Rainmaker, soundtrack legend Elmer Bernstein didn't attempt to recreate the music of the deep South. Quite the opposite, actually--he went urban. Heavy on the Hammond B-3 organ, Bernstein's score combines big band orchestrations with smoky jazz to good effect. At times, this score sounds a bit like another Bernstein's attempt at jazz... Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. Still, there's a lot here to keep soundtrack buffs interested. "Sharks" is a catchy, noir-inspired theme. There are cute, plaintive-sounding cues ("Kelly," "The Trial Ends"), playful melodies ("Shenanigans"), and dark, angry numbers ("The Fight"). In short, it's another solid soundtrack from Bernstein. --Jason Verlinde

4 out of 5 stars Got to love the organ.......2003-06-23

I am a fan of the film largely due this fine soundtrack. Bernstein mixes his organ well with a jazzy beat. Great melodramatic soundtrack to listen to while at work. Where as Bernstein may not have tried to recreate the sound of Memphis, he has the pulse down to a capitol T. By the way, anyone who is wondering what Bruiser and Prince were hearing in their bar scene...that was Slim Harpo doing "Baby, Please Scratch My Back".

        4 out of 5 stars High octane bluegrass music in a live show.......2005-01-07

        Playing Time - 55:55 -- The high octane of bluegrass music in a live show has been captured in the "All Star Bluegrass Celebration" produced by legendary Austin City Limits architect Terry Lickona. Available on CD or DVD, the intensity of this genre is seized in this documentation of a show featuring some of the greatest performers in the business. The many moods of bluegrass range from the hard-core traditional to quick-paced contemporary, enchanting gospel to powerful mountain sounds.

        Recorded on January 16, 2002 at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium for a PBS broadcast, the All-Star Bluegrass Celebration was a very popular fund-raising special. There is one primary tradeoff to the energy of a live show, and that is the audience applause which can be downright noisy and annoying, especially when it's rendered over a hot break or vocals.

        The DVD version contains three bonus tracks. The show was hosted by Ricky Skaggs, and the CD begins with Kentucky Thunder's fiery rendition of the traditional "Shady Grove." A project like this always offers some interesting pairings that bring illustrious guests onto the bluegrass stage. More often associated with country music but clearly having strong bluegrass foundations, stars like Vince Gill , Travis Tritt, Patty Loveless,
        and Bruce Hornsby also make appearances. Unfortunately, the set's flow has some problems. For example, following the Del McCoury Band's "Get Down on Your Knees and Pray" with a drum-heavy rendition of Earl Scruggs' "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" is like jumping from a warm bed into a freezing cold lake. While the crowd appreciates the sheer energy of the breakdown with electric guitar, electric bass, and drums, it seems rather odd to transition right back to Patty Loveless' more acoustic rendition of "Daniel Prayed." Later in the set, after Ralph Stanley and Ricky Skaggs play straight-ahead bluegrass, Bruce Hornsby builds his compelling case for bluegrass piano on "Darlin' Corey." Of course, Nickel Creek's "Seven Wonders" pushes the bluegrass envelope even further. The all star finale jam it up on Earl Scruggs' "Lonesome Reuben" and a fitting tribute to the father of bluegrass with Bill Monroe's "Rawhide."

        There are no liner notes that try to define bluegrass. It's obvious that producer Terry Likona has chosen to let the music do that for us, and the sideboards are large. With its strongly mainstream commercial sound, the All-Star Bluegrass Celebration raised a great amount of funding for PBS. Projects like this also give us a broad sampling of bluegrass for all tastes. From the sounds of the noisy audience, they clearly loved it. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)

        4 out of 5 stars Lively disc of bluegrass legends and stars.......2004-12-27

        Originally taped live at the legendary Ryman Auditorium, this celebration of Bluegrass' legends and current stars has been a staple of PBS fundraising nights all across the country. Now available on both CD and DVD, the program captures highlights from bluegrass founders Earl Scruggs and Ralph Stanley, legendary players Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill and Alison Krauss, and country stars like Patty.

        The program provides a good introduction to the riches of Bluegrass, including the hot-picking of Kentucky Thunder and Earl Scruggs, Ralph Stanley's bone-chilling a capella "O Death," and the generational interconnection of standards like Bill Monroe's "Uncle Pen." The DVD edition adds three tracks to the CD: Earl Scruggs' "Passin' Through," Ralph Stanley's "Rocky Island," and a group finale of "Little Maggie."

          5 out of 5 stars Sweet rarities that any Nixons fan can't go without.......2000-04-12

          The Nixons are a great band, and my favorite. This is an ep of their rare songs, so don't expect a full album of new songs. The first song is a live version of "one by one" which originally appeared on their first ep "six" way back in 92. It just shows you the live raw energy that is a nixons live performance. The acoustic version of "sister" is simply amazing. It just amazes me everytime I hear it. You need to get this cd, even if just for that song. "heaven tonight" and "Rocketman" are covers of a Cheap trick and Elton John. Rocketman is by far the better of the two. I hated the elton john version, but love the nixons' stab at it. Heaven tonight just isn't a good song, so they couldn't do too much with it. not altogether bad though. The rest are live versions of songs of Foma and their self titled cd. A great acoustic in studio live version of "Sad sad me" and an electrifying live "happy song." The live version of "passion" is slower than on Foma, and get's kind of tedious. it seems kind of empty without the violins and strings too. not a bad song though. The best songs on here are Sister, rocketman, sad sad me, and happy song, and it's well worth the price just for these 4 songs, not that the other 3 are bad. you even get a hidden track of zac and john doing a radio promo. Interesting. It's definitely worth buying.............so buy it!

          4 out of 5 stars Not too bad..........2000-04-08

          I got this as a birthday present. It's OK, but I'm not thrilled. The acoustic version of "Sister" and the cover of "Rocketman" are great, but nothing else on it is all that interesting. They have a bunch of their obscure, kind of uninteresting songs, I would have liked to have heard live versions of "Blind", "Fellowship", or even "Baton Rouge". I don't really like the live version of "Passion", the recording is way better. If they were going to cover Cheap Trick, they should have covered "The Flame" instead of "Heaven Tonight", that song rules. "Rocketman" sounds great, though. Puts Elton John to shame, by far. Get this CD for that, but if you want to hear the Nixons at their best, get "Foma".

          5 out of 5 stars The greatest and most satisfying release of all times!.......1999-07-18

          My name is Davide, but people call me Da. I'm a 19 year old Italian guy who's a major fan of the Nixons. "Scrapbook" is by far the greatest release of all times! Acoustic versions of Sister and Passion really demonstrate and prove how skilled these guys are. This collection of rarities really makes the Nixons stand out as the truly successful band of this generation. My favourite song is "Sad sad me" which is a live version - it shows how good these guys are in concerts! Even though there are only 8 tracks it is still magnificent!!

          4 out of 5 stars "A Great EP from a Great Band".......1999-05-05

          My name is The Allmighty Zero and I am from Oklahoma City. I have liked the Nixons since their first album was released. This EP is a pretty good compilation. It includes a cover of Elton John's, "Rocket Man", which was done quite well. This album also includes the much anticipated release of the acoustic "Sister". If you liked Foma and the self titled albums, this is a great buy!

          Eliza has put out a number of great releases over the years but this one is way out front. Beginning and ending with spiritualism ala native American culture the entire CD carries great power. Every Song is a keeper. "Tangible Things" is perhaps her best compositition ever recorded. If your a fan and don't have this offering you need to seek it out. I can't give this CD Higher marks, it's that good!

          4 out of 5 stars A great CD for those who appreciate movie themes.......2000-10-06

          I enjoyed this CD because Leonard Martin does a good job in selecting the scores of movies that are special in itself, outside from the context of the movie. His selection is diverse, in the sense that it includes scores of not only the big blockbusters of the 90s (Titanic, Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart), but also of the movies that have already been forgotten (Fast, Cheap and Out of Control, and The Rainmaker). There is reasoning behind such a selection, according to Martin: "Some scores wear well over time and provide a rewarding experience long after the movie begins to recede in one's memory."

          Martin selects the scores from a variety of film genres (drama, dark comedy, suspense,for example) which translates into a well rounded compilation of musical pieces (classical,spanish-inspired, blues, etc). He also includes liner notes reagrding each selection and composer, which serves as a brief, yet interesting, background regarding each selection.

          The only qualm that I have with the CD is the abscence of some of my personal favorites, which are certainly memorable both as films and as scores. Reagarding such statements Martin states that "Lists, of course, are highly arbitrary and designed to provoke argument." Moreover, Martin acknowledges that selections are not the only great scores of the past decade; they are, however, among his favorites. I definitely agree with him on this statement.
