Album Description

Uneasy Listening Vol. 2 is the companion album to Uneasy Listening Vol. 1. Both albums are collections of previously unreleased versions of the band's classic tracks. Uneasy Listening Vol. 2 features rarities and hard-to-find versions of some of HIM's biggest hits. This special album includes demos, remixes, live and alternate studio recordings of the band's heavier repertoire. Much of this material has never before been released and is highlighted by the highly sought after version of "Buried Alive By Love" featured in Bam Margera's CKY4 DVD.

Whereas Uneasy Listening Vol. 1 featured the sentimental side of HIM, Vol. 2 focuses on the band's harder side and all versions have been selected by the band's singer Ville Valo. He explains, "Most of these versions are hard to find nowadays. Fans have frequently been asking us where to find these songs. The songs are also important to the band. They are songs that have allowed us to express our musical perversions." Valo

summarizes the two-volume set: " Vol. 1 is music for Sunday mornings whereas Vol. 2 is for Saturday nights."

pretty good .......2007-06-22

this is just a sample complation cd but its not bad its way better tthen the last uneasy listin cd it has alot more unrealesd stuff to if you are a him fan by it but if not then download it or something

sweet relief.......2007-06-07

Some people think it's a cop-out to release CDs of remixed songs, but I think it's legit as long as it sounds good and gives a different flavor than the original, and this CD delivers. A lot of these mixes would not really work in a live performance setting, and that's probably why they were not released initially. Anyway, it's sweet relief for the ears to have new HIM sounds to listen to!

Love Metal At Its Best.......2007-05-24

I ordered this cd early from Finland on the original release date in april and i can't stop listening to it. The 616 versions of "Buried Alive By Love" and "Endless Dark" are amazing, my favorites by far; the live material is great, "Hand of Doom" and "Sailin' On" are the best live covers i've heard. A Must Have. BUY THIS CD NOW! Can't wait for Venus Doom in July, its going to be the best ever!

Finland's His Infernal Majesty (H.I.M.) has managed to release a solid, if not wholly overwhelming album. Listening to vocalist Ville Valo work his magic on the title tune, where he bridges the distance between Bono and Bowie, you almost believe you're listening to one of the great voices, maybe even great bands, of the age. The sharp, hook-laden tunes such as "Killing Loneliness," "Vampire Heart" and "Rip Out The Wings Of A Butterfly" only seem to confirm that initial spark of discovery. However, the brilliance evident at the beginning barely stretches to the halfway mark. "The Face Of God" and "Drunk On Shadows" are little more than hooks around which other things happen rather than the promising, fully realized material found at the album's start. That said, Dark Light ultimately proves an album worth owning even if it's just to hear Valo work his unmistakable magic from end to end. --Jedd Beaudoin

Album Description

After conquering the rest of the world with chart-topping albums and sold-out tours, Finland's HIM (His Infernal Majesty) makes its U.S. debut with Dark Light. A Scandinavian rock icon, HIM enjoys more than a mere buzz overseas. It's a frenzy. Haunting, gothic, rocking, beautiful and melodic-produced by Tim Palmer (Robert Plant, U2) with the band recording for the first time in the U.S.-Dark Light opens the eyes of America to HIM.

Album Description

After conquering the rest of the world with chart-topping albums and sold-out tours that have seen them play before literally hundreds of thousands of fans over the last decade, Finland's finest are finally making the push for American dominance with Dark Light. Some musicians might feel pressure, but HIM front man Ville Valo had one concern in making Dark Light - bettering himself. Mixed at New York's famed Electric Ladyland studios with producer Tim Palmer (Robert Plant, U2), the band recorded for the first time in the States, holing up for several weeks in the famed Paramour house in Silver Lake, California. The goal was to create a crazy, surreal, weird, David Lynch, Tim Burton feel, but all within the AC/DC context. You can still shake your hips to it, bang your head, or play air guitar. The results are the kind of songs that have made HIM global rock stars, earning Valo a recent spot on the cover of British metal magazine Kerrang! alongside Ozzy Osbourne and Slash. This 10-song collection is classic HIM: haunting, gothic, rocking, beautiful, melodic, and an album that can only come from Valo and his mates. Warner. 2005.

HIM is awsome.......2007-05-23

this album is just different from the other albums. It is a transition that they wanted to do before making a heavy album like VENUS DOOM that is gonna be out in a coupple of months. HIM is one of the best rock bands out there...just go and buy all the cds!!!

Great record..........2007-04-16

Since HIM's incarnation, the band has released five studio album and countless singles, along with one greatest hits compilation and one album full of acoustic songs and remixes. However, up until the release of Dark Light, HIM was virtually unknown to the states, and when this record was released, it marked a new era for HIM and their stateside fans.
Since this was the first HIM record to be released in the states, new fans had this album, and only this album, to give them their daily dosage. However, long time fans of the band, from Finland and even some here in the states, threw the sell out label at HIM. Why?
Most people think it's because Ville Valo (vocals) cut his hair. His hair was short during the Razorblade Romance era, too.
Anyways, the album starts off with a bang with Vampire Heart. The chorus to this song is infectious, and the guitar riff and bass/drum collaboration work in perfect succession with one another, and of course the keyboard help to lend atmosphere to the mood of the song (and album) as a whole. Next up is the albums first single, Rip Out The Wings Of A Butterfly. The intro is catchy and is just a teaser for the chorus this is to follow. Under the Rose is a more mediocre track, not a bad one but not as catchy as its predecessors. Killing Loneliness is a moody Gothic anthem with a killer chorus and some great keyboard work. Dark Light is a beautiful song with great falsetto from Ville, and Behind The Crimson Door, followed by the astounding The Face Of God, are worth the price of admission alone. The last few tracks seem to lack the punch of the others but they're still good songs and can hold their own.
This album is amazing, and while fans of the band say it is sellout, I personally feel this to be some of the heaviest stuff the band had released yet. Sure, Vampire Heart is no Razorblade Kiss, but Razorblade Romance was six or seven years ago- let the band evolve.

More "light" than "dark"........2007-03-18

Dark Light is the album that is making me lose all respect and hope for this band. A huge let-down compared to the amount of time invested in it.

Let us begin with the positive aspects of the album. "Vampire Heart", the opening song, is a great opener that manages to raise your hopes for this one, and you can hear Valo's old vocal style at the end. "Under the Rose" is a great song that manages to carry one away also. The other hookers are... there aren't any... well, except for "Behind the Crimson Door" and parts of "Face of God".

Now, unto the weaknesses. Valo's new vocals, now that we know he chose to switch to, are still aggravating and could have been SO MUCH better, but then average at mediocre. "Wings of a Butterfly" is a good song, but it became so overrated that, it bores the living hell out of me, and its mood in the chorus is entirely different than the overall "let's rock" mood of the song. Another problem is the lack of atmosphere and the "cheerful", pop-ish direction some other songs have taken. You can sense a great potential in this album, which, if it had been left SIMPLER, would have turned into an actuality. As of now, the "let's push this riff a little more" approach results in catastrophe. The song "Dark Light" should be removed from the album, it is THAT bad. "Killing Loneliness" was blown out of proportion, as there are two better songs than that. Valo's way of putting out the chorus of "Face of God" is another example of this album's overall attitude of pushing things further than they are supposed to go.

Not a total failure, but could exist as a perfect EP rather than a mediocre-at-best LP. I wouldn't recommend it for non-HIM-fans, and the fans should consider themselves warned before jumping the gun on this one.

Darklight.......2007-01-06

HIM is at their best as usual.I completely recommend this cd to all HIM lovers as well as new comers.

...you people are dumb........2007-01-04

This band is named HIM not H.I.M

It doesn't stand for His Infernal Majesty, that's just there old name. Of course it hand an influence on their name, but Ville has said that one of the reasons they changed to HIM is because it was easy to pronounce in many languages, and His Infernal Majesty was getting them too many accusations on what there band's genre was, giving a false inpression.

HIM's Best Album.......2007-01-25

'Razorblade Romance' was the album that introduced me to HIM. It is bar none their best album. Song after song I cannot stop listening to this CD; it's intoxicating. Ville Vallo's lyric writing was at its best for this CD. My favourite song is 'Bury Me Deep Inside Your Heart'. There is a cover of Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game'. 'Razorblade Romance' is definitely an album every HIM fan has to own, and the album I would recommend to anyone who wants to be introduced to HIM.

Great Cd!.......2007-01-19

I love almost all of these songs on this cd. If you want songs that grab your every emotion...this cd is for you! I also recommend their other cds also!

wow.......2006-12-29

this is not metal he sounds like celine dion going on about love it's making me gag

Sizzling.......2006-11-10

HIM is a true wonder of the modern goth metal scene. If you can listen to this CD and not realize the true greatness of this band you are dead to the world.

One of the greater HIM albums. .......2006-08-13

This is the cd that first introduced me to HIM. Although that was before it came out in the US. With this cd you get a great blend of the Love Metal HIM is known for also with slower ballads. Join Me is a great song of love and questioning what you would do for it. In my opinion Razorblade Romance is a cd any HIM fan should have in there collection.

Customer Reviews:

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Same great Band, slightly diffrent angle........2007-02-10

I have been a HIM fan for the better part of the past 4 years, and was fortunate enough to see this band from Finland live in South Carolina at the Myrtle Beach House Of Blues. This Cd is a very nice addition to any true HIM fan's collection. Some of the tracks are already on the singles box set, but there are some new versions of some that really are awesome, including "the Path", one of my personal favorites of all their songs. For the definitive and passionate "True" HIM fan, you wont be dissapointed.

Tracks I already own on the box set........2007-02-05

Well for starters I'm a Very big HIM fan, but not just of HIM, but of Gothic rock and Finish music. So I guess it's hard to say, but this was a let down. Not because of quality of tracks...but the selection used. Most of these can be found on the Singles collection box set. Which includes the vast majority of these and MANY other great tracks. So if you can drop the extra $$$, go for the box set. The Rock version of Beautiful is worth the price alone.

An Amazing HIM CD.......2007-05-29

Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights has got to be one of the best HIM CD's.Everything from the lyrics to the amazing vocals to the music, HIM have out done themselves. This is definately a CD that you can put on and listen to over and over again. It is a must have!!!!

It all went downhill from this one on........2007-03-18

Ah yes, HIM started to go downhill after and with this one. This one I acquired after getting Razorblade Romance, Love Metal and Greatest Lovesongs, and I was quite surprised that I hadn't ever heard of this one. I got it, rushed home to listen to it, and I did, and I have been revisiting that horrid memory every time I listen to those few songs I liked in this one.

"Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights" marks the beginning of HIM's descent into mellower, less moody, wasted-potential music, which they later described as "love metal" when it had lost all connection with what it used to be. This album also marks the start of "Ten Songs Per Album" rule of HIM, guaranteeing what will most likely be a short and catastrophic listen.

"Heartache Every Moment", "Pretending", "Love You Like I Do". That's it. The rest of the album sounds like it has been taken out of some dreamy pop album with electric guitar and overall too much acoustic and cheery melodies, complete with all songs regarding love or loss thereof, as usual, however, without the edge they delivered in Greatest Lovesongs and Razorblade Romance.

This album takes a lot of getting used to, simply because it takes for you to get used to the idea HIM could have gotten this dreamy and cheerful. Like I said, after this, the band went downhill, with the brief interruption of "Love Metal".

Loved it!.......2006-11-11

I loved every song, especially 'Dont Close You Heart' which was a breath of fresh air, 'Beautiful', 'Prentending' and 'Close to the Flame'. It was an amazing album and i adore it no doubt!!

It was not their best!.......2006-07-08

I was not one of their best, but I loved it anyways. To any HIM fan buy it and enjoy it. Its worth the buy!!!

Deep Shadows & Brilliant Highlights.......2006-06-20

Have you been properly introduced to H.I.M. yet? What are you waiting for?! This album, IMO, is the best album to get acquainted with their music. This album is kick a** from the door...not one bad song on it. This album solidified my commitment as now being forever a fan. You don't have to be GOTH to like this music. It is straight up melodic rock with catchy choruses and harmonies. The lyrics this guy writes will blow you mind. It captures you like nothing else could in music today. The sound of this band is what has been missing with the rock world for many years now. BUY IT PEOPLE!!

Yes, I was one of those kids: big, messy hair; black clothes; makeup on the weekends; surly demeanor with everyone but my friends. But my friends were legion. And what bonded us all? Goth music--dark, arty, dramatic, epic, apocalyptic. It gave us focus and refuge during those formative years. Now, it appears some of those kids have grown up and started working for Rhino. A Life Less Lived: The Gothic Box hones in on the territory started by their expansive Left of the Dial box set and gives it a smear of red lipstick and a down-turned glance. And in usual Rhino fashion, it's lovingly designed (the slipcase is a faux-leather corset!), with an extensive booklet that will answer all of your questions about goth, and this box set in particular. It will be needed. One can already hear the cries of "What about...?," "Why that song?," and "Is that goth?" These questions are addressed and gotten out of the way in quick succession. Rhino has the cachet to pull together artists that wouldn't normally be part of such a box set, so they rightly concentrate on including the biggies (the Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy). Also present less well-known bands, such as Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, the March Violets, and the Virgin Prunes. What about the Jesus and Mary Chain, the Misfits, and Echo & the Bunnymen? Are they goth? Not strictly, but every goth I knew loved them. There's even an "instructional" essay for those new to the scene, and a cover of the Cure's "The Hanging Garden" by new-schoolers A.F.I. to bring in the uninitiated. Go on, break out those velvet vests and pointy boots and put this on--it's still amazingly vibrant stuff. --Robert Arambel

Goth primer.......2007-03-13

THIS IS A GREAT STARTING POINT FOR ANYONE JUST DISCOVERING "GOTH". THE LINER NOTES ABND SHORT BACK STORIES OF EACH SONG ARE INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE. WELL DONE ALL AROUND.

Not all it's cracked up to be.......2007-02-14

This box really falls short of the genre and does not do it much justice. Anyone remotely familiar with this material will already know the obvious ones.... Joy Division, Bauhaus, Nick Cave, Cure, etc. Come on already!

There's some stuff that really shouldn't be on here and lot's of mediocrity, bands that may have been included due to the presenter's lack of knowledge on the topic in an effort to fill space with numbers.
Rhino should have delved deeper into bands like Christian Death with their off-shoots like Mephisto Waltz. Or into acts like The Names, Durutti Column, Pale Fountains and even My Bloody Valentine or The Sound. I'd also go with Samhain over the Misfits if Danzig has to be polled into the mix.

No doubt that there's some great music here but in terms of the comp it's supposed to be I'd have to say it's a bust.

Nice to seem them all in one place, but...........2007-01-24

Goth is a tag that's been retroactively applied to many of these bands. It means very different things to different people on different sides of the Atlantic. The folks at Rhino have done a really great job assembling this collection along thematic lines, and despite what some people have said in their reviews, there's no denying the relationship between industrial and "goth," just like there's no denying the close relationship between punk and goth. Too many of the great bands that we now associate with the goth movement feel much more strongly tied to punk (see: Sisters of Mercy, and listen to their old stuff next to the Ramones - you'll see what I mean), and rightfully so. American bands loosely associated with goth (Misfits, Ministry) happen to have arrived at a goth-esque place through very different means, but that doesn't make their inclusion here any less suitable. And industrial groups like Skinny Puppy and Ministry and Throbbing Gristle and Die Einstuerzende Neubauten were very much part of the same scene, even if they approached their dance music with a more or less performance artsy bent. And Jesus and Mary Chain, who could rock out with the best of the cheesy, vampy, 80's pop bands, made an album that couldn't have sounded much more like early Sisters (Psychocandy). The problem, for me, with this collection, is that it's clearly marketed to an American fanbase, one which puts altogether too much stock in labels (the packaging doesn't help either).

Gothic 101.......2007-01-17

I really love this box set. I grew up in the age of goth was around for it's birth. Of course at the time I never considered myself a goth in anyway and I wouldn't have looked the part either. But the music is another thing altogether and I truly loved the music that became known as GOTH. This is great example of some great songs from the goth age and well represented across the genre and through time. Although I owned most of these songs already, either on CD or Vinyl, there were some gems in the mix that I didn't have. I also liked the DVD, which features some videos for songs that didn't make it onto the music CD's themselves. My friends and I had a great laugh as well when we read the instructions on how to dance goth. As funny as it read, it was dead on with my memory of how "goths" danced at the clubs I visited in my youth and maybe, just maybe, it rubbed off on how I danced at the time as well. All in all a Life Less Lived is a great box set for those who love goth or for those who wish to get a definitive initiation into the goth music genre.

So gothic the sun hurts my eyes.......2007-01-16

A very good compilation that includes crossover bands like Joy Division, The The Cure, The Cult and other "big name" goths like Sisters of Mercy, Dead Can Dance, Bauhaus & Nick Cave. Compares favorably to Cleopatra's "Gothic Rock vols. I & II," which was the last comprehensive effort I have seen to really represent the Goth movement, but didn't include any of those bands. The Gothic Box also drifts into Industrial (Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Killing Joke), and includes some more obscure entries, too. Very highly recommended.

A break from the usual "gothic" mix..........2006-10-04

Ok, so I picked this CD up on a whim at a Hot Topic store where I live at about the same price, six dollars or so. With the CD in my car as I drove home, I found myself skipping the first few tracks, passing them off as the usual "goth rock" dross. But when my cd player reached track 10, with Corvus Corax's "Venus Vina Musica," I found myself hard pressed to cease my spontaneous motion, driven by the blasting pagan/tribal drums in the song. Track eleven is also inruiging, with it's middle-eastern influenced vocals. Upon reaching track twelve "dragonfly," one may hear the harmonious sound of a sequenced piano, melding into a beautiful and very well-made EBM track. The brooding and throbbing bass of "Wo Versteckt Sich Gott" will move you and at the same time, make you wish you knew German. And after hearing all of this, I started at the beginning of the cd, and found that I didn't have much negativity to speak of the cd in general. The genres presented here are far beyond the goth cd I though this was, and the last track on the cd proves this. This cd is an eclectic, mistifying, exciting, and memorable mix wehich is well worth it's price.

Buy this cd, enjoy the sounds, and experience the pleasure of a darkened room with this enlightening music.

Oh, and the cover model is Kristanna Loken ("T-X" from Terminator 3), who makes the cd all the more... pleasurable.

Hotter Than Summertime!.......2006-06-27

Kudos to Dancing Ferret for releasing a budget priced compilation with a little of everything for everyone! Even those who do not have a penchant for dark music will find many of the tracks approachable. There is no doubt that many of the tracks featured here will find there way into the underground clubs to last throughout the summer and beyond.

All the details were carefully monitored from musical quality and content to the artwork and multimedia footage of the film The Dragon King.

You simply can't go wrong for the price and chances are you will want to discover the full body of work from many of the artists included here.

NOX ARCANA THE ULTIMATE MOODLIFTER.......2007-06-27

Theres not enough words to put down on what this group means to me....I wirte some of my best works by their music.

Vampire country.......2007-05-10

Books don't usually have soundtracks. "Dracula" definitely didn;t.

But when listening to Nox Arcana's "Transylvania," all I could think of was Bram Stoker's quintessential vampire, and the hauntingly creepy atmosphere of the book. The band forms plenty of rich neoclassical tunes, around a hazy storyline about (what else?) vampires.

It opens with a creepy organ, some smooth violins sweeping up from behind. A deep voice intones, "Darkness descends upon the land, wrap the world in night's black embrace... the restless dead stir within their ancient tombs, and creatures born of shadow rise to quench their savage hunger..." Imagine Bela Lugosi rising from a coffin.

It's followed up by some warmup songs -- the darkly enticing "Voyage," which expands out into an epic, eerie sweep, and the ghostly piano of "Gossamer Mist." The songs that follow are just as richly imagined -- ghostly fast-paced strings, magnificently dark organ and grim gypsy music, laced with church bells, shimmering vocals and ghostly little breezes.

Listening to "Transylvania" is like walking slowly through a cobwebbed, shadowy castle, and listening to Dracula playing a pipe organ in a dusty ballroom, with his brides singing accompaniment. It's not too hard to imagine that you're Jonathan Harker, after hearing songs like "Echoes From the Crypt."

Their music is an lush dusty tapesty of gothic instrumentation. Rich, hollow organ, shimmering harp, strings both windy and rapid, fast-moving percussion, a delicate piano, and some dark shimmers of keyboard all blend together into haunting slow-turning melodies. And as if that weren't good enough, they sprinkle the music with the flutter of bat wings, church bells, ghostly murmurs, and delicate music-box tinkles.

Fortunately Nox Arcana doesn't wreck all this eerie atmosphere with typical singing. Instead we get the occasional deep-voiced intonations, sort of like the introduction. And there are some delicate female vocals -- they murmur softly one minute, only to rise into echoing, wordless solos the next. It's absolutely stunning.

Nox Arcana's "Transylvania" does a brilliant job of capturing the ideal vampire-gothic atmosphere -- creepy and beautifully refined, with no kitschiness. The ideal soundtrack to Bram Stoker's classic (not to mention Halloween).

This soundtrack drains your blood dry, it's that awsome!.......2007-01-28

I have this one, its great. It's not only good for Halloween but its good for when you go to sleep at night, it actually puts you into another realm of dreams and nightmares. It helps you sleep and not only that, it gives you something to relax your body with. It's very good for one of those stormy and rainy or snowy nights. I am an artist and I use it to create monster theme pictures and other creepy drawings. It helps me put myself in that state of mind were I can listen to this and let my imagination flow. If you like this one you will really love the CARNIVAL OF LOST SOULS, WINTER KNIGHT. I still have to get the winter knight one. These soundtracks are classics, not that many peopl listen to them. They are for the soul purpose to escaping the real world and entering another of the bizzare and strange. They are just good to listen too, when ever you feel like it. But this is a good tool for some people who have trouble sleeping at night. But if you listen to the children of the night, and what lovely music they made, you will deffently get your money's worth on all 3 cd's Translyvania, Winter Knight, Carnival of lost Souls... It's worth it.

Wonderful Halloween Fare.......2006-11-01

You can hear a constant improvement in the musical quality of Nox Arcana's CD. This one, particularly, is a big step over Necronomicon. Not that Necronomicon is bad, but Transylvania is really good.
I'm glad I found Nox Arcana (quite by accident, I did a search for Halloween on Amazon and this was one of the hits) they are a treasure.

Yet another great album!.......2006-08-11

Nox Arcana is truly a original band for the era. The music is never boring and you always find something new when listening to it that you may not have heard before. Vargo is a very gifted artist in all the work he does and I for one am glad he formed his own band. The creative work behind the cd's really comes through not just in the music but in the album designs. Midnight Syndicate lost one of the most creative person's behind their success, but by starting the band Nox Arcana at least none of the fans are suffering. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next album.

Best cast EVER!.......2007-05-15

Ok, ok. So Lisa/Emma (whichever you prefer) wasn't my favorite but tolerable. This dual-disc soundtrack launched my near obsession for the musical. Hmmm...bought 3 different soundtrack versions, bought 2nd row tickets to the musical live (WONDERFUL, Sharon Brown almost held a candle to the original Eder), bought the musical score, bought the Hasselhoff movie version (it COULD have been worse!), bought several karaoke versions, used to skip lunch in high school to rehearse the songs w/my then-boyfriend. Yeah, slight obsession. I still love it. This Jekyll/Hyde is the best I've heard yet. I keep wondering if there would be one to surpass his brilliance with each show & soundtrack that comes out and haven't heard one yet!

ANTHONY WARLOW--THE BEST JEKYLL & HYDE EVER!.......2006-12-02

I learned about Anthony Warlow from my investigation and web searches on another popular Australian musical theatre star--Philip Quast. Philip played Javert in the Tenth Anniversary Dream Cast of Les Miserables on PBS. Anthony was the original Enjolras I believe, in the London Cast. Philip and Anthony are friends and have even done shows together, including the Australian production of The Secret Garden, where Anthony had the lead role. Their rendition of "Lily's Eyes" will send chills down your spine--both exceptional actors and singers. Philip later played the lead role himself in the London cast of The Secret Garden.

Anthony Warlow has one of the most exceptional singing voices I have ever heard, and his rendition in this recording is the best anywhere. People have wondered why he did not do this role on the stage, and I can only guess it is because he is a cancer survivor and the role would be too much for him to take physically. You can hear the intensity just in his vocals on this recording, and how much energy it takes. It is exhausting just to listen to him--so can you imagine the physical and emotional intensity it would take to do eight shows a week?

Although David Hasselhorf did a decent job acting in the Jekyll & Hyde DVD, his singing is very poor and it is obvious he has never had any classical training. He has a misplaced vibrato and really struggles with "This is the Moment", contorting his body which restricted his breathing and caused him to struggle even more vocally. He also has a terrible British Accent.

Anthony Warlow on the other hand, can sing everything from pop to opera. Many of his recordings are available online. He has also played the Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera in either Australia or England, and how I wish I could hear that recording, although there is not an original cast recording made. If you would like to hear him sing songs from Phantom, however, you can get a CD entitled The Main Event with him, Olivia Newton-John, and John Farnham, who is also absolutely incredible. I bought this CD and was blown away. Anthony's rendition of Phantom tunes is absolutely mind boggling.

I also learned Anthony played the lead role of Professor Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, opposite a lovely actress (british, I believe) named Marina Pryor, who also played opposite him in The Secret Garden. What talent!

So do a web search on this talented individual and get some of his CDs--he is a delight!

Why can't they have a case like this on stage production ?.......2006-11-11

It's a shame such a wonderful musical didn't make a good stage production.

OK, so I have heard couple actors that played Jekyll had made nomination to Tony's, but how come this musical is not as popular as The Phantom of the Opera ? Perhaps the closest attempt to make a equivalent version of movie is Julie Robert's "Mary Reilly" in 1996, which, of course, no music, but tell a wonderful story.

Again, let's focus back to the "music" portion. The concept cast has two leading ladies to play Lucy and Lisa, which is far better than the previous 1990 release case. It's just not quite right, something buggy, to have the same lady sing both Lucy and Lisa. This complete soundtrack, listen from the beginning to the end, you will feel the difference of personality via voice and interpretation between two leading ladies, that makes the story telling.

Let's not forget the leading "Jekyll / Hyde". Gosh, how come this guy is not famous here in the States ? You thought you are listening to 2 difference persons, it's the same guy. Come on, how many singers out there can sing in front of live audiance day in day out non-stop for 3 hours plus "acting" ? You got to respect for their talent and profession disciplines.

I have "wasted" 3 sets of this soundtracks because they got worn out and I just have to have the replacements. I love every piece of it, particularly "Letting Go", "It's a dangerous game", "A New Life" and "Take me as I am" the most. Of course, the "Once upon a time" is something you can't miss. You will feel the "vibe" without doubt and get into the story, big time.

Anothe recommendation, which I am a bit sad they took it out of this release is the "Till you came into my life". I love this one, but only available in the 1990 Original Highlight. It's something quite sweet, and poweful.

The later production, well, worth owning, but not exactly worth getting a replacement once its worn out.

Enjoy the story, and embrace that lttle spilt personalities inside.

Act I of this CD is superb.......2006-08-20

Act I has great drama and great music.

For example:

"I need to know" is a great song about passion for knowledge and desire to improve the human condition, which is troubled by our dual desires for good and evil (or misbehavior, if you prefer). The tune simply soars!

"Facade/Bitch, bitch, bitch" is a fabulous song about snobbery, social class, people trying to impress other people, and people badmouthing other people.

"Board of Governors" is about the meeting of the Board of Governors of the hospital that discusses and turns down Dr. Jekyll's request for support for his project. They accuse him of playing God (with some justification, though the accusation is very mean-spirited).

"Bring on the men," though not highly original in theme, is such a fabulous tune and sung so superbly that I very much enjoy the song despite the lyrics.

This production has not just one, but two love interests, however, that seem to dominate the second Act II.

For me, I'll listen to Act I again and again and again. It has the richness of story, lyric, and tune that stands up to repeated listening.

In sum, Act I is among the best Broadway has to offer, if you like drama and grand tunes.

What an experience.......2006-03-27

My sister and I are two huge musical fans. We love music that tells stories and we grew up with musicals like the Phantom of the Opera and Dance of the Vampire as our good night stories.

When Jekyll and Hyde was staged in Vienna we adored it so much that we watched it three times in a row. Now almost four years later my twinsister decided to ship the english version from the USA to Austria and I tell you when I first listened to it I was simply carried away by my emotions. What magnificent and melodious voices some people have. It is just amazing. If I could afford it I would invite the whole essemble into my living room for a private performance. Anthony Warlow and Linda Eder as well as everyone else in the production did a really great job.
