A Fine Soundtrack of a Fine Movie.......2007-07-15

I basically love the movie, because it's poetic along with Montana wilderness and I am a fly-fisherman. I have just bought this CD as my background music while I am tying flies. And it works very very well. Each track reminds me of each moment of the movie, especially, tracks from Track 25 "Yes, Quite a Day" to Track 31 "Hauted by Waters" just make me poignant. An exclusive interview with the composer is also very unique and worth to hear about the background of the movie. "The Moment That Could Not Last" last only 1:24, how about in our real life? Is it gonna be like Paul's? I am hautend by this soundtrack.

Review(How original huh?).......2007-01-25

Personally, this is one of the absolute BEST soundtracks I have ever listened to. The music is calming, soothing, and truly wonderful. The music is so well put together and nicely coordinated and I feel like I am watching the movie again...it also makes great to read the Laura Ingalls Wilder books too. Try it...you might be suprised how well it fits. :)

Music that transcends simple meaning..........2006-07-16

Mark Isham's score for the motion picture A River Runs Through It is one of the most memorable and emotionally captivating film scores of all time. The arrangements of strings, piano, woodwinds create a meditative and reflective range of music throughout the film capturing all the emotions of this powerful drama about an American family in rural Montana. It is at once deeply haunting, moving, nostalgic and sentimental and captures the innocence and beauty of nature and childhood, as well as darker themes of rebellion and tragedy. There is a profound sense of emotion that is embedded within the music that sweeps over me every time I hear it. A combination of happiness, sadness, excitement, and reflection. There is something simply sweeping and majestic within his music. I couldn't think of anything else that would better compliment the film. Highly recommended.

I love these guys!!!.......2007-01-02

At first I did not know anything about LAGQ. I was taking an intro to guitar class on the campus of USC. One of my assignments was to attend two guitar performances happening on campus and write about each. I was so fortunate to have picked LAGQ. I fell in love with their music and their humor. I was amazed by the variety of sounds coming out of the guitars. Although guitar playing is a hobby for me... these guys inspire me to study the guitar more seriously. This is the first album of theirs I bought. Their rendition of Shenandoah is the best. It is so beautiful I fall asleep to it. Simple Gifts is the most lovely version too. Jumpin' at the Woodside is another favorite... it jazzy bounce makes it a popular choice for background music to any situation. The Main Street Electrical Parade never fails to delight me and surprise my friends when I play it. These guys are silly...but in a good way. Its 2007 now and I still go back to the songs on this album. Great variety. This is a good starter to a LAGQ collection. Go see them live if you can!!!

Excellent album.......2004-11-23

Recently I learned about LAGQ and bought this album. I have been impressed by the arrangements and interpretation, the texture, innovative touches and originality. It is a treat!

This is only a warning.......2004-09-19

The LAGQ are fine players, and the music here is first rate as a summary of what they do, or for any purpose. HOWEVER, the transfer to CD on my disc was very poorly chosen, so that the top octave and a half was mostly missing (worse on some pieces than others, though). This takes the snap! out of guitar strings and notably attenuates your ability to tell what the 4 are doing with guitar timbre and the like. So, if you have wide-range audio gear, you might want to look elsewhere for an introduction to these players.

Recent Purchase that I'm Joyed to Find and Enjoy.......2001-01-27

Not until recently did I know about this guitar four. Hearing a number of their songs on internet classical radio, I decided I'd try this one.

What a great surprise --- their arrangements of Copeland to Sousa to Praetorius are excellent and in taste. I'll be venturing into their other works.

Simply Amazing.......2000-06-12

LAGQ is wonderful and this CD is a great compilation of some of their best work to date. Extremely versatile musicians, they perform swing music, Sousa march music, a Main Street Electrical Parade tune from Disneyland, as well as music by Copland and Praetorius. It's amazing how they are able to produce the sounds they do. A great compilation and one that would nicely add to your LAGQ collection or a great CD to start that collection!

What ??.......2006-12-10

The idiot from Virginia thought it a bit strange that an American black man would give the communists a chance. Looking back from modern perspective is easier than what he had to go on in the thirtes. Gee, I wonder why a black man would do that after all that southern hospitality, segregation, and steady work you gave the "black folk". Not to mention all those nighttime campfires you had going in their honor.
While I might be from New York I certainly would not be called a bleeding heart liberal but I can certainly understand why the poor soul was looking elsewhere. You are either ignorant of history and its influences on people or you are a totally unsympathetic jackass!!

Paul Robeson, who was brainwashed into
beleiving Communist rhetoric (which is
strange as hell for an Amer-I-can black
man). A good singing voice but all cover
songs! Come on, Paul!

A let down.......2004-09-24

I own several Robeson recordings and purchased this one with high hopes as it has a great selection of tracks. Unfortunately given the excellent recording quality of "Songs for Free Men" and "The Paul Robeson Oddyssey", the remasters from what I assume are 78's and possibly radio are a let down and mar what could have been an excellent album.

The definitive Paul Robeson compilation.......2003-09-19

This 2 CD set of Paul Robeson is the definitive collection providing a decent overview of his work in 50 tracks all wonderfully restored from 78s as usual for ASV, with spirituals, show tunes, Shakespeare-like readings, and more done with a trademark bass voice and orchestration that backs up Paul perfectly and he would later be one of the first civil rights activists. The first disc is a reissue of the single disc "Ol' Man River-His 25 Greatest" on ASV containing "Ol' Man River," "Mighty Like a Rose," "Joshua Fit De Battle Ob Jericho," "Carry Me Back To Green Pastures," "Lazy Bones," and many more classics which is also available here at Amazon for those who only want a single disc of Paul's work and the 2nd disc contains 25 more classics including "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen," "The Old Folks At Home," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Wagon Wheels," "Git On Board, Little Children," and many more. In other words, all 50 of these tracks are essential to any early pop, folk, gospel, blues, etc. music fan and this is the set to introduce yourself to his work in a convenient 2 CD package with the usual great liner notes and details on the original 78s ASV provides with each CD released in their Living Era series.

Description

Two sides. Two choices. One future. X the TV series features gorgeous animation and a riveting storyline of love, tragedy and destiny as two supernatural factions clash over the fate of the human race. Equally stunning is the memorable and impressive music found in the X TV series original soundtrack I with its heart-wrenching, soulful and even tragically romantic tracks that were crucial in setting the mood to the series. An essential soundtrack for all X fans and anime fans alike, this CD includes both the opening and ending songs.

Customer Reviews:

Stunning.......2006-07-13

I have always loved soundtracks, the way that a composer uses music to set the mood. But I am still incredibly picky about which soundtracks I buy.

From the first episode of X I knew that I had to have this soundtrack. The essence of the whole series can be felt in this music.

Even if you have never seen an episode this music will move you.

Absolutely stunning.

the incredible X soundtrack.......2005-07-07

First off, I have to say that the instrumental pieces of this score are GORGEOUS, especially the breathtaking "Destiny" which still gives me goosebumps when I hear it-the heart wrenchingly beautiful emotion portrayed fits the sadness of X perfectly.
The vocal pieces are pretty good too-from the fast pasted "Ex Dream" opening theme to the smooth, gentle ending theme.
I haven't heard an anime soundtrack this good since the likes of Escaflowne, and the orchestrational music is enough to rival that of Joe Hisashi (Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away).
Utterly gorgeous, and whether you love the series or not you should give it a go. 5 Stars all around.

A Theatrical Score to a Television Program.......2005-01-29

I feel as though X: Original Soundtrack, Vol. 1 proves that in Japan, painstaking scoring isn't sacrificed even thought the music belongs to a television series. Especially with 'Destiny', many of the songs on this CD possess the depth and sheer mass of a theatrical symphonic score. The level of music matchs that of Samurai X, a movie-quality release of the Rurouni Kenshin series. The opening theme, an electronical rock beat, could sum up the series with its lyrics (practically all in Japanese, though the tone shows the emotion). I'll give my ratings and a small explination for them:

-Opening Theme: eX Dream- 4 stars (I'm not that much a fan of male Japanese singers, though this is an exception; great voice/emotion)

-Destiny: 5 stars (favorite track, broad depth in strings; ominious "battle" anticipation)

-The Two Kamui, The Two Secret Swords: 4 stars (mysterious triangles transforms into a semi-creepy beat; sudden transformation into exciting orchestral beat w/ electric guitar)

-Reckless Run: 4 stars (a chase-scene beat with ominious male voices; electric guitar on occasion, fantastic strings)

-Red Thread: 3 stars (good harp but too long for solo; probably good with series, though I have only read the manga)

-Hyper Battle: 5 stars (eerie horns turns into a Matrix-like chase beat; skin crawling xylophone [possible]; Hitchcockian violin for several seconds)

-There is Always One Future: 4 stars (emotional violin/string ensemble)

-Peaceful Daily Living: 3 stars (least broad/deep of the collection; solo electric keyboard)

-Count Down: 5 stars (ominious drumbeat synonomous to the title manifests into a thrilling, suspenseful tone)

-Encounter: 4 stars (nice quick, light beat with a hint of anticipation/worry; transforms into an electronica-jazzy beat)

-A Suite (Dragons of Heaven): 4 stars (longest song of collection; floating suite with "The Last Crusade" cords at a certain point)

-Destiny [Piano Version]: 4 stars (piano versions often take away from the original, though a good piano solo can be just as powerful as an orchestra; provides poignant "base" sounds)

-Ending Theme: Secret Sorrow- 4 stars (don't like some opening/ending themes; didn't particularly enjoy the vocals though the music was light, dreamy, and enjoyable)

FAVORITE SOUNDTRACK.......2004-11-05

I bought this cd from another website and the booklet is japaneses even the lyrics. It's a great cd though. Is the booklet on this cd (from amazon.com) in english? I'm thinking of getting another one from here.

weak entry.......2005-06-09

"Down for the Count" finds Dave Meniketti and the boys cashing in big-time on the then popular wave of big hair metal bands of the mid-to-late 1980s. YandT crafted a career of making hard-nosed rock and roll defying the trends of their era. When the public finally caught up to them they went and tried to become some kind of MTV band with makeup, neon colored clothing and lots and lots of the accessories that went along with the metal look. Oh yeah, their music started to suck too. Meniketti suddenly forgot how to write good songs and started phoning it in with stupid radio-friendly pop-metal with cliche hooks and over-the-top deliveries. "In the name of Rock" "All American Boy" "Anything for Money" "Summertime Girls" all smack of poor impersenations of David Lee Roth style tounge-in-cheek lyrics and heavily reverbed production. The band's cover of the Loggins-Messina classic "Your Mama Don't Dance" never even begins to capture the groove after the first 30 seconds of the intro. There's too much of everything bad here, too much stoopid off-the-cuff lyrical content in nearly all the songs vocals, too much silly content in the lyrics. To his credit Meniketti still delivers his patented melodic solos with ample intensity, but gone is the band's once uncanny ability to take a mundane hook and milk white hot intensity from it. Y and T never recovered from this bomb and its a shame because their first handful of releases are prime examples of what was actually good from the 80s metal genre. This, however, is junior-high fodder.

THIS ALBUM WAS ALSO GREAT, BOTH DOWN FOR THE COUNT & IN ROCK WE TRUST I HAD GROwing UP THROUGH MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS, AND THEN THE TAPES WERE EITHER LOSSED OR BROKEN BY THEN AND COULD"NT FIND THEM ANYWHERE, SO IF YOU HAVE A COLLECTION OF THESE,THERE WORTH ALOT! HOLD ON TO EM'. Y&T.....rocks

Average Y&T.......2003-03-14

"Down for count" from 1985 is not as good as their previous release "In rock we trust". In some way, the album features the typical Y&T approach but the material isn't as strong as it been on other albums, like the excellent "Black tiger". You could easily say that "Down for the count" is an average light metal album, not better or worse than any contemporary effort from bands like Bon Jovi. Outstanding tunes are the attractive melodic "All American boy", the light hearted pop influenced "Summertime girls", the groovy "Looks like trouble", and the rhythm `n' blues sounding "Your mama don't dance". This album is worth having but it's far from Y&T's finest.

Great under-rated rock n roll band.......2002-04-23

I was cleaning out a lot of old audio tapes one weekend and listened to several as I was going along. One of my blank tapes had about 7 songs from this band, and I had realized even I had forgotten about them for several years. Needless to say, I was blown away and memories came back all over again. I purchased DOWN FOR THE COUNT (expensive CD compared to the album I once had) and and Y&T's ULTIMATE COLLECTION the next day. Great, strong-sounding All-American band!

A great album.......2006-09-03

This was/is a great album. I say "was" because I bought it when it came out and I was 17...I had heard a few tracks from Y&T albums Black Tiger and Mean Streak and thought it would be good, and had older brothers who had the first two Yesterday and Today albums and was curious. Well, it was just right for the mood in 1987, the year I graduated high school.

"All American Boy" is just how I felt--it rings true now as well as then, I was hot for chicks and they were all over me. It is a cool song that brings back memories (I just picked up a CD version); "Anytime at All" is also a great track...really brings back the spirit of being a teenager and memories of listening it while driving my convertible.

The rest of the songs are also great...I don't skip any of them on the CD when playing in my truck (I had a '67 Ford Bronco in high school and now I've got a '70 Ford Bronco--owned two others in between) as they all bring back very fond memories. But even if you didn't listen to Y&T in high school, you'll also like this cool melodic rock. I had all '80's music at my disposal during my time in high school and this was one of the top five in my deck during high school.

I don't know why Y&T didn't get more popular than they did but I loved them. If you like bands from this era you'll love this CD.

Eh ...........2006-08-22

At the time of its release, "Down For The Count" seemed more impressive. After "Black Tiger" and "Mean Streak" set a tone, "In Rock We Trust" seemed to carry the Y&T legacy forward, but cutesy, keyboard-infused ditties like "All-American Boy" almost ground the momentum to a halt. Even "Summertime Girls," likely the band's most well-known single, seems to feature the wispy keyboards as much as Dave Meniketti and Joey Alves' dual guitars. Despite that, "In The Name Of Rock" is a great leadoff to the album, and even the band's recast of Loggins & Messina's "Your Mama Don't Dance" will have you singing as you rip down the road. "Down For The Count" doesn't exactly disappoint, but it won't exactly leave you in breathless excitement either. A must have for fans, but the casual listener might want to try something else.

Y&T shoot for stardom...and miss.......2006-07-16

Y&T released their Down for the Count album in 1985. At the time of its release, the band seemed on the way to stardom. Their previous studio album, the excellent In Rock We Trust, would come just short of achieving gold status, and their first live album, Open Fire, cemented their status as a stellar live act. In addition, Open Fire's only studio track, "Summertime Girls", would become the band's biggest single, nearly hitting the U.S. Top 40. Released just three months after Open Fire, Down for the Count seemed destined to take the band over the top. However, the great songs were no longer there and the addition of keyboards on several tracks didn't help their cause. As a result, Down for the Count would start a downward spiral that the band could not recover from.

The album starts out decent enough as "In The Name Of Rock", while not one of their best album openers, is a solid rock anthem. The next track, "All American Boy", which the band released a video for, was a blatant attempt at radio complete with its big riffs, keyboards, and very cheesy lyrics. And the cheese factor continues with the poppy "Anytime At All", the unmemorable "Looks Like Trouble", and the super lame "Don't Tell Me What to Wear." In addition, the inclusion of the already released "Summertime Girls" and a weak version of Loggins & Messina's "Your Mama Don't Dance" suggest that the band weren't ready to release a new album at the time. However, the album isn't completely without merit. "Anything for Money" is a decent rocker and the excellent "Face Like an Angel" proves that the band still had a knack for writing a great power ballad. If this track were released as the single/video, the band's fortunes may have led to a better fate. The closing ballad "Hands of Time" is also decent. All told, the material on Down for the Count gives the impression that Y&T were rushed into the studio by their record company to deliver product. Sadly, the band would never recover from this as future efforts such as the mediocre Contagious and Ten respectively, would fail to gather the attention of the music buying public.

Down for the Count tends to be unfairly slammed as Y&T's "sellout" album. While the band did make a conscious attempt to gain more mainstream success, you can hardly blame them. Plenty of far less talented bands were becoming stars, so why not Y&T?

The end result was Down for the Count and Y&T's biggest (and dumbest) hit Summertime Girls. Down for the Count was more pop-oriented, but it really wasn't that much of a departure from the band's previous albums. Setting aside Summertime Girls and an uninspired cover of Your Mama Don't Dance, Down for the Count had plenty of excellent songs. Closing track Hands of Time in particular is as good a song as Y&T has ever released. Down for the Count may not equal Black Tiger or Mean Streak, but it is still a good album; and a "good" Y&T album is still better than the best albums from most other bands.

NOTE: While the 2005 Majestic Records reissue of Down for the Count makes it possible for fans to get this disc without paying the Japanese import price, it is worth noting that the album has not been remastered. I assume label issues were behind the decision to remaster Black Tiger and Mean Streak but simply reissue Down for the Count and In Rock We Trust.
