Amazon.com essential recording

The pain of a protracted legal battle with his former manager and the release of being allowed to record again after a three-year layoff are equally apparent from the piercing hard rock and harsh lyrical content of Darkness on the Edge of Town. Betrayal and hard work that comes to naught are the primary subjects on his mind here, evidenced by songs such as "Adam Raised a Cain," "Factory," and "Streets of Fire." Elsewhere, there are signs of hope or at least the possibility of outrunning your problems ("Racing in the Street," "The Promised Land," "Prove It All Night"). But mostly, these are songs about exorcising some serious demons, and from the sound of things, Springsteen's loud, lonesome howl and blistering guitar work went a long way toward making him whole again. This is angry art, made by someone pushed to his absolute limit and more than ready to push back. --Daniel Durchholz

A good Rock album, regardless if you are a Springsteen Fan.......2007-07-27

I am not a huge fan of Bruce Springsteen. I think most of his work after "Tunnel of Love" is horrid, yet even if you dont happen to like his music anymore, its really hard not to like the dark and edgy "Darkness on the Edge of Town". This is not a typical Springsteen album, and sure there are some slower paced material with a more "Whiny" Bruce, but this is tolarable, condidering the lyrical content is so strong, and the emotions run high on this album. Even though I am not familer with any of his material after "Tunnel of Love" this is the best of the bunch, and even though "Born to Run" put him on the map, I think this hits harder and it a better album. If you are just a causual fan, this is a great place to start, and even if you arent a fan, this is a great Rock album to have. In fact its better then great, its Outstanding! Five stars to Bruce for this classic. (you also get some great guitar playing from Bruce, with some short but sweet solos, and some decent drumming here, two things that seem to be missing on a lot of Springsteens Work, espically the newer songs that I have heard. I havent heard them all, but what I have heard does not even come close to this) ENJOY

A major letdown.......2007-07-08

This was the album that got me to stop buying Springsteen albums. The first three albums had been great. Born to Run, the album that preceeded this one, was an absolute masterpiece. So I had high hopes when I bought Darkness. They were all dashed.

What happened? You see these reviews here having orgasms about the angry, harsh attitude of the songs. Yay. Notice that nobody talks about the actual *quality* of the music. After there albums where Bruce evidenced great songwriting skill, coming up with wonderful chord progressions, fantastic song structures with unexpected twists, and really showing off his talented band to good effect, on darkness he regresses to simplistic, boring, utterly predictable 3-chord songs. For instance, Badlands: the same ultra-basic 3 chords over and over again, the verse the same as the chorus. Gee Bruce, what'd it take you, 5 whole minutes to think up that one? And THAT song is one of the better on the album! (at least the tune is catchy). There's a few songs which are ok, most are pretty forgettable.

And as for the arrangements and the use of the band, one statistic speaks volumes: Clarence Clemon's magnificent saxaphone plays for about 24 bars *on the whole album* (three short little 8 bar solos, and that's it!).

I love the darkness here..........2007-04-27

This is my favorite Springsteen album. I play it quite often, and the songs are equally angry, sad, poetic, and haunted. Badlands, the title track, and Adam Raised a Cain are brutal and brilliant. Adam especially is a really scorching track. Racing in the Street is one of Bruce's most despairing songs, but it's still quite moving. You can really feel the desperation of the characters in the song. Even the lesser tracks like Factory (a song I like a lot) have a world weariness and power to them that most artists today can't even come close too. The Promised Land is another great Bruce anthem, one of his greatest songs. The cover is really something. It looks like Bruce just woke up, and you have to give him credit for making himself look so average. Most rockers wouldn't do that, because they're so obsessed with their image. I think this is Bruce's best work.

one of his top 3 albums. says me........2007-04-06

springsteen's 1973-1978 years were an amazing run, almost as great as the rolling stones 1968-1972 years. each album that he released in this stretch of time was fantastic. "darkness on the edge of town" is his starkest production from that era. a masterpiece that is intense and dramatic, with a big drum and bass sound, and several of the finest songs in our rock and roll canon. "badlands," "the promised land," "prove it all night," and the title track are all powerful, heavenly rock performances. "adam raised a cain," "something in the night," and "streets of fire," may be less known, perhaps less lauded, but are each great in their own right. the lyrical guitar solo and sax solo on "promised land" are both gorgeous; and the raw, wild telecaster sound of the solo on "streets of fire" is soul-stirring. bruce's voice is uninhibated, soars with emotion and drama, and is tremendous throughout. johnny cash. bob dylan. bruce springsteen: my trio of homegrown american voices that are indispensable (if you want to make it a quartet and throw in billy joe shaver, i won't argue). your life will seem vaguely empty without lots of music from these gentlemen around the house.

A masterpiece from the Boss.......2007-03-21

Perhaps the best album of the 70's. There is no filler on this album. It's quintessential Bruce from start to finish.

Amazon.com

Novelist Cormac McCarthy's literary vision of the wild west is given wide-screen treatment by maverick director Billy Bob Thornton and a cast that includes Matt Damon, Penelope Cruz, and Bruce Dern. Professional country music journeyman Marty Stuart has performed with father-in-law Johnny Cash, Earl Scruggs, and Doc Watson, in addition to a successful solo career. In his soundtrack scoring debut, he provides short, meditative instrumental pieces that are subtly explosive--rife as they are with strains of old-school country and bluegrass. Cinematic strings and orchestral percussion add a welcome menacing edge, augmenting the rustic approach without crossing over into a compromised "countrypolitan" sound. If anything, it might be nice to hear these themes extended. As it stands, the 23 listed tracks are covered in a little under 50 minutes, with many of the cuts barely lasting more than a minute or two. They stand as a new genre of cinematic country minimalism. --Rob O'Connor

Great western soundtrack.......2004-02-28

This is a must buy for fans of western soundtracks.It mixes beautifully symphonic music with Guitar music and spices it up all together with a south of the border flavor. Haunting music that will make you want to never take it out of your cd changer. It also
Features two vocal pieces, the first a spanish song sung by the very talented Raul Malo of the country group the mavericks, the second song is a beautiful ballad sung by Marty Stuart. Though I never owned any cd's of Marty Stuart he earns my respect with composing this film score.(cowboy hats off to you Mr.Stuart)

Truly Incredible.......2003-03-12

This album is a masterpiece. Within the first strums of the guitar, you feel as though you are among the southwestern hills. It has immediately become one of my favorites of all-time. The songs are filled with beautiful imagery, enchanting tunes, and haunting melodies. The shortness of the songs in unnoticable, as each song blends into the next, and the album itself serves as one epic journey. It is not meant to be listened to a song at a time, but as a whole. As I said, it is truly incredible. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone.

Oh dear...they've taken their eye off the ball.......2007-01-08

This is not much like their first album (which was a mostly clever, sometimes ham-handed combination of operatic arias and modern electronic instrumentation).

But Shine is pretty much the same ethno-electronica that was pervasive throughout the 90s. Think Deep Forest, Anubian Nights, Enigma, B-Tribe, and even Sting's "Desert Rose". Yawnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Their first album was good mostly because of its orginality (operatic arias are definitely a challenge), but any old fool can slap a "cool" Middle Eastern chant over a modern beat.

What bugs me about both albums is that they don't maintain that singularly operatic quality--it seems to be a sonic delicacy reserved only for a few tracks.

So, with a very few exceptions, this album is a bit contrived.

Stunningly beautiful music.......2004-11-29

I would describe this music as a mellow and unusal mix of music where Enya meets Maria Callas, and I am a fan of both, so that's a good thing. It is so good that Billboard Music called it the best classical crossover of the year!

I would call this music techno opera scene from the future with beautiful opera singing, just to give you an idea of what this music is like! Also, the singer from the Fifth Element soundtrack, Inva Mula sings the song "Mon Amour".
Also singing on this cd is a singer named Shakila. She sings on "Kokab" and "Khodoya". These three are my favorite tracks. Though the cd in whole is a joy to listen to.

We'll say that "Operatica-Shine" succesfully bridged the Middle East to Europe via southern Spain.

So if you're a nu music dj, pick up this cd, so you can really spin an eclectc mix of music - Savannah Skye aka DJ Dakini-NYC...

Better then R&B.......2004-04-16

My wife and I are always looking for new music to cuddle up to, while either watching the sunset, or getting a little heated. I think this album is a great replacement for Barry White, or some other R&B that people often equate with mood music.

These sounds will actually get your heart pounding and blood pumping without forcing you to constantly skip over songs that just get too rowdy.

Very good, yet not comparable to Diva Dance.......2004-03-12

Let me start out by saying that i love this cd. i bought it thinking that it would be like the song Diva Dance from the Fifth Element. It is most certainly one of my favorite cd's but it is nothing like the Diva Dance song. All of the tracks are much slower, focusing more on the opera part, as opposed to the techno/pop. i would still give this cd a splendid 4 out of 5 stars, but i would just like to get across the point that it doesn't have the type of songs that are advertised. thanks.

Opera Today.......2003-08-24

I just bought Operatica:Shine. It is my favorite CD, I strongly recomend it to enyone who enjoys opera! If you like "THE DIVA DANCE" in The Fifth Element you will love this CD!

David Helpling's sophomore effort fulfills the promise of his first CD, Between Green and Blue. The guitarist is still influenced by Patrick O'Hearn, sharing the same penchant for smoldering, sensual rhythms and simple yet highly evocative melodies. He arranges it all on guitar and synthesizers, although it's often difficult to tell which is which. Helpling sends his guitar through a stream of effects and delays, using volume swells to mask its attack, turning his stringed instrument into an ambient orchestra. Across sequencer rhythm loops that sound like a pan-ethno drum troupe floating in space, Helpling layers surging synth pads draped with simple melodies that create a moody, cinematic expanse. Because he's a guitarist, Helpling has a natural sense of phrasing that eludes many keyboardists in this area of melodic electronics. --John Diliberto

sublime.......2007-02-26

For several years now, I have been playing this music to go to sleep to. My wife and I rely on it to usher us into dreamland each night. There are not many recordings out there that can serve do that! and it stands the test of time

Enchanting Music.......2006-10-27

This music has depth and beauty that I rarely get to experience, The musical ideas develop throughout each of the pieces as well as the album as a whole. The songs seems to spring from a well of energy and have an almost magical quality that keeps you relaxed, yet engaged, The pieces are melodic and rhythmic enough that you don't drift off into a mindless trance. This is excellent music to work to, the music keeps you energized and focused on your work. It also great to listen to if you want to sit down and enjoy an album from start to finish.

A magnum opus .......2006-10-11

Brilliant album, one of the best new age albums ever recorded. The track #4 Divine Whisper is my favorite, an amazing song that is like a great story being told of a mysterious and grand journey.

I have listened to many new age and ambient albums, and this one ranks near the top. Almost every song is masterfully composed. It's a dark themed music with subtle and intricate melodies.

I don't know why this album doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves, but it's assuredly a landmark masterwork in new age music.

Simply Put ..........2006-09-15

To avoid repeating the praises mentioned thus far, I'll just keep this short. Simply put, this is hands down, bar none, the most ELEGANT sounding CD I've ever heard in my life. I'm a huge ambient music fan and "Sleeping on the Edge of the World" continues to stand out in my library, and is among one of my all time favorites. I'll make sure they bury me with this one so I can take it with me to the great beyond.

Paradise in a dark unknown realm.......2005-01-27

David Helpling's sophomore follow-up to his debut album "Between Green and Blue" is a major artistic leap forward. Where as his first CD borrowed the 1980s keyboard styles of Patrick O'Hearn, on SOTEOTW, there is less of the O'Hearn influenced and a far more of a distinctive sound all of his own on this album.

The mix of dark moods in a positive sense is absolutely exotic and out of this world.

The dark mysterious journey through the foggy terrain begins with the eerie spiritually arousing opener entitled "Rain Falls". A dark and mysterious ambient intro begins which conveys the sense of a twilight drizzly cloudy evening and gradually builds up into an exotic track with a sound that is utterly distinctive style altogether. While it is somewhat O'Hearn influenced, this one finds Helpling with a style all of his own.

Absolutely Pure & Beautiful.......2005-10-31

If you buy no other classical music, buy this collection. CD 1 (Relax) is perfect for dinner, quiet entertaining or just soft music while you're working. From "Come Away With Me", to "Whiter Shade of Pale" to "Knights in White Satin"... each piece is it's own movement - and moved you will be... Perfect for a romantic evening. CD2 is more robust, but equally entertaining. "Layla", "Livin On A Prayer", Stairway to Heaven", "Run to You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" - you owe it to yourself to hear these licks performed by the RPO.

Symphonic Rock.......2005-07-25

It really isn't rock, but it is a very pleasant presentation of popular music, rendered in creative ways by a full symphony orchestra. It sounds like the orchestra had a great time making these CD's.

pleasant easy listening.......2005-07-19

It's not extremely interesting music, but nice background, relaxing and pleasant with full orchestra. Not a bad buy at all!

Excellent CD.......2005-03-20

I received this as a present and at first I wasn't sure if I would like it because I don't like some of the original songs, but there's something about hearing the orchestra play that makes me like all of them. Just try it out.

Amazing! The reason I decided to become a music major!.......2002-11-18

This is one of the most inspirational CD's I have ever listened to. Not only is the playing perfect, the choice in music for the CD is perfect. It provides the listener with several different styles, and yet many similar styles. The group plays the traditional Russian pieces with flair and great musicianship, such as the Stravinsky and the Shostakovich. The main reason that I enjoy this CD is that each player is performing their best for this album. Each player sounds even more amazing than they usually do. I especially enjoy when Sam takes the tuba solo from Russian Sailors' Dance down an octave. Each performer from this group is one of the best in the world on their respective instruments. In conclusion, all I can say is that this CD is amazing.

Utterly Necessary.......2000-10-24

This was the first brass quintet cd I ever purchased, and it has been by far the best. This group's sound is seriously unparalleled by any other quintet, including Canadian Brass. The blend and unity of style is so perfect that one is encompassed by the music, hearing each part individually and as part of the whole at the same time. Playing arrangements of excellent orchestral music, the Empire Brass Quintet truly demonstrates its virtuosity.

Magnum Opus of Brock et al and Best Psychedelic Album Ever.......2003-09-05

A lot of nonsense is talked about psychedelic music (and yes, I know it's all subjective) but this is quite simply the most effective rock album ever made for enjoying and promoting altered states of consciousness.
Until the advent of the synthesizer as an affordable item, it was impossible for rock music to be as colourful (in a tonal sense) as it needed to be to be as psychedelic as it could be. With 'Warrior on the Edge of Time', Hawkwind hit their high water mark: similar to Roxy Music in the breadth and richness of their musical pallette (electric and acoustic guitars, bass, drums, percussion, flute, saxes, electric violin, piano, synthesizers and mellotron, plus 4 different vocalists), Hawkwind at this time were the consummate painters in rock - Dalinian mindscapes filled with the awe, terror and sheer bliss of Coleridge's 'Kubla Kahn'.
The musicians are at the height of their stylistic powers - Brock has never sounded so mournful and folky as on 'The Demented Man' (make's Floyd's 'Echoes' seem childish by comparison), nor more messianic on 'Assault & Battery'. Turner's sax on 'The Golden Void' transports the listener into an opium dream in an Egyptian tomb while has weird vocals on 'Dying Seas' remind us of how avant-garde Hawkwind were. Lemmy's bass paints pyramids in the minds eye at the opening of 'Assault' and his lyrics on the original version of 'Motorhead' ( a bonus track on some versions of this CD) are utterly original: 'we're moving just like a parallelogram' to 'all good clean fun - have another stick of gum', pure British Amphetamine Rock ! Drummers King and Powell are at their hottest, especially on the throbbing 'Opa-Loka' which would not need a remix to become an acid house hit today and Michael Moorcock's spoken word pieces like 'The Wizard Blew His Horn' will blow the mind of any Tolkien fan. Finest of all perhaps are the contributions of Simon House, whose sublime electric violin's piercing entry at the start of 'Golden Void' is one of the most apocalyptic moments in rock history. House's 'Spiral Galaxy' is utterly cosmic - they don't make synthesizers that bright anymore ! There are no duff tracks here either - all have their unique and frightening pleasures: more variety in 45 minutes than most bands manage in a lifetime.
Why this album escapes all the prog rock reference books is beyond me - actually, it doesn't: Hawkwind were always a little but rough and grungy for prog purists, which is why they survived Punk with critical status unchanged. Their roughness is here spattered with diamonds, a perfect balance between thudding rock noise and symphonic beauty with none of the pompousness of ELP or Yes.
Oh and yes, the production is magnificent. If you like classic colourful seventies rock like later Bowie, early Roxy, then this album is a must. Its mind may be on space, fantasy and the unreal, but its heart is as romantic and existential as any of the serious Glam or Punk artists of the finest decade in rock. A prismatic beacon in the murky mists of rock and roll. Essential.

Why is this the perfect single? the Redanka Power mix of "vertigo".......2006-10-20

80s new wave lovers who were looking for a retro electro house mix of Vertigo when they purchased the single with the Jack Lee Knife mix were probably as bummed as me at how weak the mix was. Well, this 7 and a half minute Redanka remix of Vertigo is exactly the kind of dance mix this classic sounding U2 track needed. It should have been the lead off mix when the single first came out.

Why buy the single?.......2005-06-14

Why purchase the single? Buy the entire CD. Its worth it!! As far as U2 "selling out", I dont agree. Like any band they have evolved in all ways. I would like to erase the "POP" years but we all make mistakes and they definitely learned from that one! Although they have changed HTDAAB is very close to the BOY/OCTOBER era of songs. You may not like how they have changed but to say this last cd was "crap" is way off. Vertigo, quite frankly , is a song that I could do without but the majority of the cd is fantastic. Are they the U2 of 1987...NO, 1997...NO, not even 2001!!! but they are U2 and they are still the best band in the land

Made It On Their Own.......2005-03-25

From getting inducted into the Rock N'Roll Hall Of Fame, to scoring 3 Grammys for their recent hit video Vertigo, 2005 has proved to be a dominant year for U2. They have definitely shown that their time has never expired in the music industry. Their recent single is absolutely no acception. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, the third track from U2's most recent record How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, is a very soul-driven Rock ballad that really speaks from the heart. It is arguably a great song, and still shows U2 at their best. I really like this song a whole lot.

Song: B+

Great song.......2005-03-06

This is a great song, especially after you hear Bono talk about it and tell what this song means to him. It will be really great to hear this sung live in concert.

Well, you've got to be patient.......2005-02-28

13 bucks for a single?!

U2 fans are so awesome. You can tell everyone who givs this single and others 1 star reviews is an obsessed U2 fanatic. They (we) studied the band inch by inch for months in search of anything in the internet remotley desembling U2. Whenever anything at all happened, it was Christmas. I tell you, when that prototype CD was "lost" in July and the thought of scrapping the album came up, I couldn't sleep. So of course when U2 did their i-pod thing, some people's worlds ended, and they let everyone know.

"Sometimes..." is a great song. It builds up in about 3 minutes. Like Vertigo, Edge's guitar has dual action. He begins to slide as things pick up after the second chorus. You know, my dad and I fight a lot, too, and we are very alike, I guess. No regrets, man. Sometimes... is good from 3:00 to the end. Come on, it's 3 minutes. Besides, it's still good in the beginning. Just chill, guys, watch your blood pressure.

As far as the i-pod thing goes, ALL OF YOU WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING!!!!

13 bucks for 3 songs?!!
