The most straightforward rocker in LC's catalogue.......2007-02-22

LC defined funky hard rock. They produced such a great, bouncy yet rockin' debut that they owned funk rock circa 1988. Type had explored some of the possibilities opened by Vivid but was a little fragmented despite the hits. On Stain we get a third album in a row with it's own flavour. This album is the darkets of the bands early phase. More succint and focussed than Times Up, the bounce squeezed out of it to leave the listener with their most metal release. Whether the departure of Muzz Skillings to be replaced by Doug Wimish had anything to do with this, well it's perhaps useless to speculate.

What is obvious is that here the funk takes a back seat. Instead this album hits the listener over the head with an iron bar. From opening opus Go Away through Ignorance is Bliss, Leave it Alone, Bi, Mind Your Own Business... heck all the album up to track #8 - Nothingness, is just one rocker after the next. Top stuff, but a bit of a shock to their fans, the close feeling of the arrangements, Vernon Reid crunching riff after riff out of his instrument, really proving he was an versatile axesmith and not just reliant on feedback for his sound. All through the album Glover sings like someone just spilled his pint and he's not thrilled. Sure there is still some humour such as in Bi but it's 'ha ha got you' humour rather than party slapstick fun kind of stuff.

The later parts of the album are also dense such as WTFF and This Little Pig not to mention the mellow yet claustrophobic, practically spoken work Hemp. And don't expect a repeat dose of Love Rears it's Ugly Head either. Oh there is a whimsical sounding tune - it's called Nothingness. Play this a few times in a darkened room and the whimsical element will give way to a darker set of emotions.

This is a pretty meaty hard rock cum metal album. And unlike many bands this is one bunch of guys who got heavier as they aged. Don't believe the aura of 'downer' that seems to surround this album. View this slice of riff heavy wattage as part of an overall LC catalogue and you'll find plenty to enjoy here. Pity about the (yet another) crap cover but it is a little more indicative of what's going on musically I suppose.

Integrity over popularity = masterpiece.......2006-10-22

Living Colour after the album Time's up were in a place where they could have been radio friendly and quite popular - they had some great songs before - pushing the envelope as such as to what popular music was and made some great rock stuff.

Then with the adoption of Tackhead/On-U sound Bassist Doug Wimbish - a very progressive and way out outfit came this album which was very much a generation ahead of just about anything else out there. And now still this CD sounds like it was released yesterday - it's absolutely brilliant - moody, sharp, edgy, fun, whatever - it's musically extremely high level with some incredible players but it maintains some terrific songs.

You get enough from the first four songs - they are brilliant - so fresh in their sound. Incredible from start to finish - with another highpoint being 'nothingness' - a masterpiece in the centre of the album recorded with the guitar played into a satellite dish.

Best album for them by far, but all this bands stuff is brilliant. Perhaps not for everyone but worth a try for sure.

Still rad after all these years..........2005-04-13

These guys get no love...this album smokes-the band is on fire, period. I havn't listened to this in a while, and it sounds as good, if not better, than I remember. The production is mint-the bass is clear, the guitars thick, shreddin' and heavy, the drums are poundin', this album is just a sonic boom. I have to compare them to the Chili Peppers for the sole reason that the vocals are the weak link-Corey sounds great and all, but the band behind him is just a MACHINE...a FORCE. This band deserves respect, and I resent the fact that they don't get it...because when you talk about Living Colour, all people remember is the guy with the dreads dancin' around in a dayglo Body Glove outfit. Yikes.

They had a reunion tour! .......2005-01-10

Stain is probably the best abum they never recorded.
This album simply sounds pure.
The whole band is perfect and, please, admit that they grew up and... time is really up :-)

I saw the band performing in Ghent (Belgium) in November. I was on the knees. This is real cross-over, pure great music.

By the way, they have a new album. a good one too.

Stain is a good living Colour album.......2004-05-16

This album always gets overlooked for some reason. Especially as it's always compared to 'Vivid'. That was a great album as well as 'Time's Up' but Stain should be judged on it's own merits. It has one of the best rock songs of all time in my opinion in the form of 'Ignorance is Bliss'. Whilst Veron Reid and his cohorts are undoubtebly talented, Corey Glover is also a fine fine vocalist. His soulful voice really is uplifting and he can growl and shout with the best of 'em. The good thing about these guys is that they possess a fine sense of humor as well as demonstrated on 'Bi'

Airy Brillance!.......2007-04-26

Whether you have been listening to Irish traditional music all your life or you have recently started, seriously consider adding both these albums (Feadog Stain one and two) to your music collection. They are simply wonderful albums! Despite some sound quality issues on her first album (which are fairly minor) this stands as one of the greatest recordings of Irish music ever made. The second recording picks up were the first left off, with the benefit of clearer sound.

This isn't the slick, over produced new agey fare encountered in movie sound tracks of late. This is the real stuff; genuine hard driving dance tunes and moving slow airs played by great musicians.

Queen Mary of the Tin Whistle! Pioneering Early Work........2003-01-25

Failte! (Greetings). Feadoga Stain ("whistle tunes" in Irish Gaelic)number one was seriously handicapped by the music recording technology of the mid 1970's. However, don't dare to criticize the playing unless you can play along and keep pace. The tinwhistle and the bodhran (Irish Drum, pronounced Boe-rahn or Bow-rahn) are the very best of the best ever recorded. The second recording is not as handicapped for recording technology, and is a real gem of Celtic Music history. Mary is in an elite group of musicians that includes Paddy Moloney, Joannie Madden, Laurence Nugent, and Joe McKenna. Her fluid, fast paced tunes are her trademark sound. Mary was doing fast paced, fluid whistling in the mid 1970's, and stretched the envelope for playing forever more. The same can be said of Johnny McDonagh. Current bodhran players are playing fast paced doublets and triplets, using drums without crossbars, using a backside technique to alter the tone, use a full range of tones, use rim strokes to accent, and are playing expressively to the music. Guess who pioneered these techniques in the early and mid 1970's? It may even be fair to say that this percussion instrument would have been relegated to a historic artifact status if Johnny hadn't streched the envelope by a wide margin. Previously, the bodhran was an outdoor instrument for parades and wakes, with the performer playing loudly and dancing at the same time. Johnny is in an elite group of Bodhran players that include Tommy Hayes, Kevin Conneff (Cheiftains), Frank Torpey(Nomos), John Joe Kelly (Flook) and Donnchadh Gough(Danu). Mary and Johnny together have a set of jigs and reels here that can be said to be the prototype of fine Irish music for these instruments over the last three decades. How about a reunion album? Feodoga Stain 3? Eire go Brach! (Ireland Forever!).

Feadoga Stain was a washout, but FS2 is a winner........2000-06-15

I find Mary Bergin to be phenomenal. There is simply no other word for it. Her playing provokes the same reaction that Scruggs's banjo-picking did: where'd all those notes come from?

For Tin Whistle Lovers.......2007-04-02

When I first heard Feadoga Stain it scared me! Mary Bergin plays so fast! At least I thought so. I had been trying to learn to play the Irish tin whistle and I had bought this CD to see how Irish songs should sound. I had been stumbling through "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" trying to get the notes and tempo right. The speed with which Mary Bergin plays an Irish reel left me in the dust! I figured she had to be showing off so I put on a CD by The Chieftains. Nope, she's not showing off; the Irish do play that fast! For people who love the sound of this sweet, inexpensive little instrument, this CD is for you. It showcases the tin whistle ("feadoga stain" in celtic) with very little accompaniment. She plays traditional Irish music from fast reels and jigs to slow airs. I use her music as an inspiration while I work on perfecting my skills on the tin whistle.

Essential and Historic!.......2005-02-21

Well, after Coleman, Cooley, Killoran, O'Brien, and OC the modern - but sadly rarely recorded, Paddy Cronin ( Irish Traditional Fiddler ) ..to mention a few and not leaving out Matt Molloy 'An Ri na Ceol' IMHO - I thought I had heard it all.

Wrong!

This is not merely essential, it is the foundation of modern Itrad since it contains everything and some more that modern and earlier exponents of the art are striving to express but not quite delivering the goods.

If you want to be astonished and surprised again like the first time you heard Coleman, Cooley or indeed any of the great exponents of the art, then go buy and be reborn to a new level of Irtrad!

an amazing work!.......2004-05-01

I have literally hundreds of Celtic CDs and albums. I have been playing whistle, fiddle, and mandolin for 30+ years. Other than family, it is the one true love of my life. This is easily one of the best albums I have come across. The joy that pours out of each track is astounding. For technical people, her playing is totally clean, at an unbelievable speed. This makes the awesomely lovely Tin Whistles album by Potts and Moloney look like a warmup. This is the pure, true, real Irish music at its best. Mary has really raised the bar with this one, in quality and performance. It is an act of love.

Mary Bergin Sets TheGold Standard of Irish Tin Whistle Music.......2002-07-13

This album is perhaps the single most influential recording of tin tin whistle music ever made.

The majority of the tracks are traditional Irish jigs and reels, but Bergin's dynamic style and astounding technical mastery of the instrument set an entirely new standard to which most if not all players of the tin whistle now aspire.

Each track features either solo work by Bergin, or Bergin accompanied by a bouzouki and/or a bodhran (the traditional Irish drum) or bones (that's right, rib bones used as highly distinctive percussion instruments). For those masochistic whistle players who wish to try to play along, the liner notes include the key of the whistle she plays on each track. I cant recommend any one track over another, they are all my favorites...and thanks to the wonders of Amazon technolgy you can hear samples using the links above. The music speaks for itself.

Mary Bergin Sets TheGold Standard of Irish Tin Whistle Music.......2002-07-13

This album is perhaps the single most influential recording of tin tin whistle music ever made.

It is also interesting to note that most of the whistles used on this album are Generations whistles, common whistles obtainable at music stores for less than $15.00. It is her skill that makes them sound like a million bucks.

transported.......2004-02-05

I saw the film in Bangkok this xmas. I sat close. The cinema was almost empty. As the film began the car comes towards you through the snow and Portman's haunting music comes out of the trees like a cold river and seeps into your skin. Later in the film, variations of it entice but do not intrude. Weeks later I went into Amazon and heard a clip and had to have this haunting melody. The CD is only 35 minutes so put it on repeat and be carried away on this moody, sad and luxurious melody. It is the best light classical music I have heard for years. Sublime, truly.

Ms. Portman at Her Best.......2003-12-13

Rachel Portman has always been one of my favorite composers. Her scores to "Sense & Sensibility" and "Chocolat" were perfect for the films. The music for "The Human Stain" is no exception- Lyrical, poetic, tragic, beautiful. Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

Cornerstone sounds great!.......2004-04-27

I've bought this CD some while ago, and let's say that I was kinda impressed by this talented band! I'm a big Power Metal fan, but sometimes I can listen to some AOR, Death Metal or Doom Metal if it's good, well Cornerstone is a good example!

The opener "Unchosen One", cracks up on a mid tempo, and once you heard Doogie's voice (Ex - Rainbow), you never wanna take this out of your CD player.

"Wounded Land", another well arranged song! Doogie's voice is still perfect on this one, maybe a bit less melodic but still great.

"Some People Fly", a bit faster on this one, but as always, everything's great! The chorus is pretty good on this one too!

"Singing Alone", this was the first song I heard on this album. One of the best ballads I've heard in a while! Gotta love this one!

"Future Rising", a mid tempo, with excellent choruses, everything seems to be at its place, no major flaws here too. One of the best on this CD.

"House of Nevermore", here's another slower song, very well arranged, smooth guitars, excellent voice, as always!

"Midnight in Tokyo", a bit faster, this one still managed to turn me on. I really like the way Doogie sings.

"Sail on Stormy Water", another slow song, great choruses as always, nothing bad to say about this one! Well done!

"Resurrection Sympathy", this is another slower song, great song if you wanna go on a date if you ask me.

Finally, we get "Forever Young", a mid tempo song, nice guitars here too, nice vocals, well everything's great!

Well this album sure is awesome, if you don't feel like listening to fast music, well this might just do the trick. It's very easy to relax on music like this! Good buy if you're into Melodic Hard Rock.

Enchanting.......2002-12-14

Just when dinosaurs like me start to thinking that the music of our youth wass dead it turns out that it was only in a coma - thank God! This is the BEST CD I have bought in quite some time. This CD has style, flare, character, emotion, and substance. Much unlike modern rock of today in which most bands, in my humble opinion, share the same bland sound and style... or lack there of.While this CD shows heavy influences of Rainbow (obviously, Dougie White is a previous Rainbow vocalist), Deep Purple, and even some Dio-esque lyrics, Cornerstone is a band with their own dynamic style.If you liked the Rainbow CD "Stranger In Us All" then you'll love "Human Stain." Actually, this may be the best CD I've purchased since "Stranger In Us All" in 1996!The CD "Human Stain" reminds me the most of, though, is Deep Purple's 1992 release "Slaves and Masters" which featured another X-Rainbow vocalist - Joe Lyn Turner. Dougie is even sounding a bit like JLT on my favorite track on this CD, #8, "Sail On Stormy Waters." An instant classic. My prayers will be answered if this CD marks a possible return in popularity of the music of my youth. It's been a long time coming, but if you're a fan Rainbow, Deep Purple, and of that Ritchie Blackmore / John Lord / and early Ronnie James Dio influenced sound and style this CD will be worth the wait.Buy it!...

Best Release Of 2002.......2002-11-04

This album was a real surprise for me. I had never heard of Cornerstone until recently when a mate gave his "Human Stain" CD to me to check out.
First listen...yeah it's ok. Second listen...hmmm, pretty good actualy. Third listen...ok! I gotta get it for myself!
Now I think this is one of the best releases of 2002 (if not THE best!).
What a great voice this Doogie guy has. He almost got the job in Iron Maiden instead of Blaze Bayley and I can see why he impressed the Maiden boys. On this album he shows he can belt out rockers as well as delicately deliver the balads with emotion, and he can hold a note too.
The influences on Cornerstone's music are plain to hear, with some tracks reminding me of Whitesnake, others Deep Purple, and there's a hint of classic Black Sabbath now and then too.
This impressive band deliver a mix of rockers and slower numbers with guitars, keyboards, drums and bass which can all be heared with an idependent clarity, but they gel together resulting in a great old style rock/metal album with a modern sound and feel to it. The music just sounds terrific, hard but melodic.
It's difficult to pick out high-lights as the whole album is one big high-light! I keep playing this CD and have not tired of it at all, and in fact each time it just gets better. "Unchosen One", "Wounded Land" and "Some People Fly" get the album off to a rocking start. But when I'm not playing it I can't help getting around singing to myself track number 4 (appropriately titled) "Singing Alone", or the great chorus of "Future Rising" which is so catchy it is hard to get out of your head (so I suppose I do like these two tracks just a little more).
"House Of Nevermore" is another great slower number, and although "Midnight In Tokyo" has the slightly cheesy sounding lyrics "shout it out" repeated throughout the song, to me it is still a great rocker (and has another chorus that is hard to get out of your head!) "Sail On Stormy Waters" and "Resurrection Sympathy" are good slower paced tracks, well placed towards the albums end.
I am not a great fan of vocal distortion tricks so I don't like it on "Resurrection Sympathy" either but thankfully Doogie doesn't do much of it and it doesn't ruin what is otherwise a great song.
I think "Forever Young" is the weakest track on the album, and unfortunately it's the last. I like the guitar in it which reminds me a bit of Led Zepplin, but I just don't think this song is as good as the others, which is a shame because I like an album to end on a high note. Another 2 tracks would have been good as it does seem a bit short compared to other recent releases.
Still, it's better to leave them off if they're not up to the standard of the others and anyway I'm nit-picking here at what is an excellent album which I don't think has got the attention and recognition that it deserves.
I am sure Cornerstone will impress fans of '70's & '80s metal who (like me) having been longing for new bands to come along and deliver that style of music but with a modern sound. That's what "Human Stain" is - a great mix of the new and old.
I hope they maintain the same sound and feel on their next album which I eagerly await.

Great, classical melodic hard rock album.......2002-05-04

"They really don`t make them like they used to...."
Well they actually do! This is the debut album from Cornerstone. Very great voice, classic hard rock style with progressive and symphonic parts. Very melodic.
i think it is one of the best debuts 2000. Very good songs - all of them!
Doogie White (x-Rainbow):vocals, and Steen Mogensen (Royal Hunt):bass, keyboards and percussion, and all songs and lyrics too. Produced by Steen Mogensen.

Excellent rock.......2002-04-30

Cornerstone was formed when Steen Morgsten (spelling?), bass player in Royal Hunt, decided to write his own material, and needed a band to perform it. So he got together with Doogie White (ex-Rainbow, Deep Purple), and the result was "Arrival", a mellow album with influences including Magnum, Dare, and the above-mentioned.

Human Stain is the second album, this time co-written with Mr White, and its fantastic!

The influences are the same, but the sound is better, the band are tighter, there is a rockier edge to the proceedings, and best of all, the songs are outstanding; plus they've penned songs of multiple styles from ballads to moody mid-tempo to out-and-out rockers, all executed with aplomb. Doogie's vocals are superb (Dio-ish, but cleaner), the guitarist(s) are on top form, the drummer can PLAY!, and any self-respecting fan of Purple/Rainbow/Whitesnake/Magnum/similar needs to own this asap.

The Best From Blood Stain Child.......2006-11-17

For people who do not know, Blood Stain Child is a melodic death metal from Japan. This album binds the typical melodic death metal sound with more of a techno/electronic feel to it. But don't that throw you off too bad, because when music sounds this catchy, heavy, and good, it shouldn't even matter. The album starts off with the song "Hyper Sonic", which rocks harder than alot of the metal i've heard these days. The album pretty much follows the track opener musically,with tracks usually lasting for 4 minutes, but stylisticly pretty different. Overall this has been a great addition to my library of heavy metal and I'm proud to be a fan. Highly recomended to fans of Children Of Bodom, In Flames, etc.

A must own!.......2006-04-18

There have been very few times in my life where the music I was listening to actually sent chills down my spine because it was so good. This album is one of the few that have done it to me. It's quite the rare treat to have every song on an album rock. If you're a fan of In Flames and Soilwork, this album is a must own!
