Customer Reviews:

A Good Remastering of the Classic Album.......2007-07-31

The sound quality on this release is excellent. I have a number of ELP releases in this series from Sanctuary and they're all really good soundwise. The extra liner notes on each release are also nice. Also the song Tarkus is presented as a single track and is not spliced. On the original vinyl release, this version of Tarkus was too long for a single side of vinyl and had to be cut and placed on two sides. This 20 minute plus extravaganza version of Tarkus is great to listen to without any interruptions! Overall, the album showcases ELP in their prime, and is definitely one of their better live albums. Especially recommended for ELP fans.

A stellar album from three musicians who've yet to be bested by anyone!.......2007-07-23

This is a phenominal musical achievement. The amount of music these three individuals produced was extraordinary. The level of talent shown by Emerson, in particular, is unmatched to this day. But all three, including Lake and Palmer were superlative musicians. What you hear on this album encapsulates the musical brilliance of these three individuals. How they integrate classical compositions and turn them into their own unique statement with bravura performances by each astounds the ears to this day. I cannot think of another rock album which matches the level of musicianship shown by just three musicians. Honestly, if you don't like this album then you really have no appreciation for the stellar musicianship put on display. Emerson, Lake and Palmer should be enshrined foreever as musicians who came together to form one of the most unique and phenominal bands in rock music history. Each cut on this album shows how marvelous the band was both as band playing together and individually, with Greg Lake performing on guitar alone on some of his own beautific compositions.

"Welcome to the Freak Show"
by DcTalk
Reviewed by Logan Clements

This CD is called "Welcome to the Freak Show." The band playing it is DcTalk. They are pretty well known. There are no special features on this CD.
This CD was very good. The date it was released on was August 26, 1997. The current value is $16.98. The rating is 4.5 out of ten as of Monday 4/4/05. The chart rating as of Monday 4/4/05 is #47,539 in music. The label is a forefront/ emd.
This CD shows that evolution is not true. When I first listened to this CD, I thought it was cool because it was fast music and I like fast music. After listening thoroughly it somehow calms me down and kind of humbles me to what I have for a while.
There are 14 good tracks on this CD. The names of them are help, so help me go, love is a verb, and like it love it need it. Some others are colored people, Jesus is still all right, and what if I stumble?. A few others are In the light, mind's eye, It's the end of the world as we know it, Day by Day, walls, time is..., and Jesus Freak. My favorite tracks are Jesus Freak, Colored people, and love is a verb. I like these because they are fast and somehow calm me down.
There are two bad tracks on this CD. One is Alas my love. Another is Hardway. These songs are slow and kind of weird after all the fast ones.
There are some unusual parts, like when they introduce the band and have them play solos. There are no hidden tracks on this CD.
My rating is 4.5 out of 5. The people that would like this CD are christens who like rock music. The type of music is christen rock. The fans will be happy because it's the best of DcTalk.
That's what I think about this CD, "Welcome to the Freak Show'.

dc Talk LIVE.......2005-03-03

This album is awesome. Welcome to the Freak Show combines a lot of dc Talk's greatest hits in a live recording. My favorite song on this album is "What if I Stumble." Most live albums crank up the volume on the crowd noises and it gets annoying after the first three songs. In this album the crowd noise adds to it. You actually get the full experience. If you enjoy this album I would check out Smalltown poets and Audio Adrenaline.

Fittingly great as they're amazing live.......2005-03-02

I've seen many concerts from many different acts in various genres but none can hold a candle to dc Talk. When you take that stage performance and great songs you come up with this cd and the live video that is also sold. The stage presence comes across on the cd the same way a smile comes across on a telephone. You can't see the smile, but you can hear it in the voice. One of my favorite songs on this cd is a 'new' version of The Hardway. It's different than you've heard on an earlier studio album and I think much better. With live albums one of the fears is usually the sound quality and the crowd noise. This particular cd has great sound quality and only has crowd noise when applicable. If you're a fan of dc Talk buy this cd and the video of them live in concert - I guarantee you'll thoroughly enjoy them both.

Great album.......2005-01-31

Welcome to the Freak Show is an awesome album. It has a variety of styles including rap, rock, and contemporary. It includes a great remake of The Beatles 'Help'. It is a must have for any DC Talk fan. I believe that even any non fan would enjoy this album. It is really sensational.

Something Kevin said put me on hold........2004-10-04

First and foremost, I used to be totally obsessed (and yes, I say obsess with its negative connotation) with DC talks melodies. I used to listen to all the tracks on Jesus Freak not once, but 2 to 3 times a day. Not-too-surprizingly, my infatuation with DC Talk promopted me to purchase this album. I must say, it gave me a revelation. A dark one. A very, very dark one. When I heard Kevin proclaim "you only have 70 years of it anyway," referring to the span of every individual's earthly existence, I was literally quite shocked. Why, you ask? I think it would take less than common sense to agree to the fact that life should be lived to the fullest and that every second should considered a blessing. Kevin's words, I reiterate, "you only have 70 years of it anyway," blatantly implies that life is obviously ephemeral. The implication that bothers me is that these words don't sound like they came from a guy who's enjoying what he is doing in life very much. They are almost akin to saying "I'm doing it (in Kevin's case, attempting to please The Lord) because I have nothing better to do", if you will, which, I feel, is even worse than saying "do it ("serve The Almighty," or just plain "believe in Him")because you simply should". This is definitely not the attitude I wish to be preoccupied with in my life. Don't get me wrong, mind you, I still appreciate how DC Talk has profoundly influenced my life in the past, but doing life with Kevin's mindet? I must soberly decline.

Lerner & Loewe Songbook.......2006-02-24

If you like Percy Faith's music, you'll like this one. He quit recording and died much too young. But while he lived, he recorded some great music.

Wouldn't it be lovely?.......2005-09-26

This CD represents some of the best of Broadway done in a great pops style. There are five orchestral suites, one each for the following: 'Camelot', 'My Fair Lady', 'Gigi', 'Paint Your Wagon', and 'Bridgadoon'. They are all arranged for orchestra by Robert Russell Bennett, save that for 'Paint Your Wagon', which was arranged by Cincinnati Pops Orchestra director Erich Kunzel.

The works of Lerner and Loewe were a mainstay of Broadway for decades in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, but it was during the late 50s and early 60s that their true glory days took hold. The presidential term of John F. Kennedy gained the nickname 'Camelot' in part because of the influence of the Lerner and Loewe production going on at the start. The songs contained in these suites are instantly recognisable by many, as the Lerner and Loewe songs have become so well known that many know the songs better than the musicals or the composers from which they come. 'I Could Have Danced All Night' and 'Wouldn't It Be Lovely' come from 'My Fair Lady', 'Thank Heaven for Little Girls' from 'Gigi' - these are but the most of famous of the familiar tunes.

There are a lot of pieces here that the listener will appreciate, both in remembering old pieces or in learning new nuances to the tunes.

This particular disc by Telarc has a feature called 'Spatializer', which gives a three-dimensional quality to the sterophonic sound, enhancing regular players and working well with surround-sound systems, too. The Cincinnati Pops are expert at this kind of music, having produced dozens of CDs of popular music and modern composers of musicals, film music, and pops-oriented major compositions.

This is a fun disc to have.

A Successful Sequel.......2005-08-03

This CD is a follow-up to the Rodgers & Hammerstein Songbook for Orchestra (1991) from the same team. It is a thoroughly successful sequel: I believe anyone who enjoyed the R&H will enjoy this one as well. If I am very slightly less enthusiastic about this one than the R&H, it's not because of any shortcoming of Kunzel, the Cincinnati Pops, or Telarc, all of whom are at the top of their form. Rather it's because Frederick Loewe, for all his undoubted expertise, is not quite in the same class as a composer with Richard Rodgers. But that's asking a lot, since Rodgers was the American musical theater's leading light. Lerner & Loewe's musicals were second only to R&H's during the golden age of the American musical, and their My Fair Lady is by any standard one of the best musicals ever staged. If Loewe did not create as many unforgettable numbers as Rodgers, he nevertheless wrote many delightful songs and much enjoyable music. This CD features five orchestral suites, ranging in length from 9 to 18 minutes (total playing time 68:06), from Brigadoon (1947), Paint Your Wagon (1951), My Fair Lady (1956), Gigi (film 1958; staged 1973), and Camelot (1960). The arrangements (all but one by Robert Russell Bennett) are expert. The performances are masterly (if perhaps lacking in just a tad of the infectious brio that the same team brought to R&H). And Telarc's robust sound (recorded 1993) would be hard to improve on. Warmly recommended.

Delightful Listening.......1998-12-05

Some of the nicest and nearly forgotten music (Paint your Wagon & Brigadoon) is nicely compiled here. It will make you want to listen to the full soundtracks again, but for a quick tour of Lerner & Lowe, it is very nice.

Great gems from musicals that dissapeared.......2004-11-30

Songs from 1987's "Smile" make this well worth the price. The previously unreleased material from the late, great Howard Ashman deserves to have it's moment in the spotlight.

Also, there's Judy Kuhn's beautiful performance on "Starfish", Christine Baranski's vampy turn on "Sherry".

Finally, there's" New Words" from "One, Two, Three, Four, Five". This show has been restaged, by small theatre groups, under the title "History Loves Company". "New Words" is by far the best number of this show and Liz Callaway's voice fills with love as she sings this lullaby.

For a consummate musical theatre fan who's heard it all, this disc is a refreshing look at what has been lost over the years.

some gold mixed with dross.......2003-12-21

Some of these songs desrve to be unsung. But then you get a showstopper like Sherry and you wonder how could this show have flopped? That number alone makes this cd worth purchasing.I also enjoyed Marvin Hamlisch's toe tapping title song - Smile.There are also a few other lovely melodies which makes this cd a nice addition to a Broadway collection.

"The First".......2007-04-15

Greetings,

I am one of the few who actually got to see "The First" -- a musical about Jackie Robinson.

I do not have this CD but wish it had the title song from "The First" ...don't think it exists anywhere. I actually still remember some dialogue/lyrics from it and would like to hear it/read the words again.
I also would like to know if any version or scenes from the play are available to do in a school. Anybody?
Have a nice day!

MISSGYDER TOTALLY MISGUIDED.......2004-07-21

This is not so much a review as a rebuttal; I was the orchestrator for this album, MISSGYDER's assertion of totally synthesized sound is totally incorrect: the charts were played by 4 reeds, 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba, harp, percussion, drums, keyboards, and a string section. I sorry the sound didn't meet the approval of the reviewer labeled MISSGYDER, but I can testify to the reality of the orchestra, the players, and my scores which are at the Library of congress.

Great songs from not-so-great musicals.......2003-04-19

I was given this for my birthday, along with Unsung Sondheim, my favorite composer. I was excited, and a little bit skeptical because I've NEVER heard of these musicals. Once I started though, I was hooked. I want sheet music to so many, they're fun to sing along to, or just to listen to they great singer/actresses they got. My personal favorites are Smile, Sherry, Ragtime Romeo, and Silverware. I recommend this for all Broadway Babies and theatre buffs like me!

Poor Production Ruins Good Product.......2001-05-15

Unsung Musicals is a great idea, presenting songs from shows that didn't get their due on Broadway. However, the production of this CD is very poor, using poorly synthesized instruments and cheesy drum tracks. I could have recreated these sounds using a home software program, they're so bad! The songs themselves are good, but the album is so horrid in terms of listening value that you'd be embarrased to put this in your CD player. I recommend this CD only for students and professionals in the music theatre world as a way to learn songs you wouldn't normally hear, but other than that, I can't recommend it.

Unsung perhaps, but often wonderful.......2001-02-14

Just because a musical was not successful, that doesn't mean that there were no good songs in it (pardon the double negative). These selections may be songs that are not well known from shows in the same category, but some of these are real gems, sung by fine show singers. My favorites are "Smile" (from Smile), "Ragtime Romeo" (The Vamp), "Sherry!" (Sherry!), and "She's Roses" (Drat! The Cat!).

Product Description

"Welcome to the Horror Show" marks the third album by Anders Manga and is destined to become a staple in dark alternative music history. His debut, "One Up for the Dying", arrived in 2005 with a sound and style that was distinctly gothic, yet painted upon a canvas of electronic dance instrumentation and arrangements. Similar perhaps to the recent goth-friendly works of Gary Numan, DJs and scene journalists began referring to his work as 'gothtronica,' a label that seems to have stuck with him. His first single, "We Won't Stay Dead," became an international club hit; combining Anders' distinctive baritone fog with insistent thumping beats and fluttering fuzzy arpeggios, it was like a missing key between the estranged sub-genre siblings, goth and industrial. Early in 2006, Anders conjured up another full-length album, an amazing feat considering less than a year had passed since his arrival. His sophomore release, 'Left on An All-Time Low', not only expanded his following worldwide with favorites such as "Empire On the Sun", "Glamour" and "Bloodletting (On the Kiss)", but it also found a more organic niche between his electronic rhythms and his voice's Lestat-like countenance. With "Welcome to the Horror Show", Anders shows no signs of slowing down. Melodic vocals, driving beats and signature synth layers make this menacing third album a memorable one. While songs such as "Beautiful", "You Should Be Dead By Now", "Them" & "Residual Fear" will fill the dance floor or induce a pit, "The Shrine", "Here" and the title track will have you humming their melodies for days.

Customer Reviews:

Really terrific.......2003-12-14

Clearly I'm in the minority here, but I really like this recording. Mike Holoway and Louise Gold don't equal the brilliant and authoritative performances of Newley and Quayle, but they do very, very well.

I'm puzzled by the hostility that the performances of Holoway and Gold have provoked from most of the other reviewers. And I would think that some of the Newley lovers would be pleased that that the people at JAY think highly enough of this score to have produced a complete recording of it, even if they didn't love the result. Instead, they seem affronted by the idea that anyone would dare produce a recording with someone other than Newley as Littlechap.

Holoway has a more pleasing voice than Newley, and his acting of the songs satisfied me completely. Obviously, Newley had an authority in these songs that no one else will ever have. But Holoway is excellent.

And I think that Gold is often as funny as Quayle. There are definitely places where Quayle is absolutely matchless, brilliant and beyond comparison. But Gold is very good.

This recording is well-conducted, the orchestra plays terrifically, the orchestrations sound fabulous, and the supporting cast is fine. And it contains the entire score.

I've heard almost all of the releases in the JAY Masterworks series, and I think this is one of the best. Some of the other reviewers seemed to have been upset that neither of the recordings featuring Newley and Quayle were available while this one was. Well, it seems strange to blame this recording for that. The people at JAY weren't keeping the other ones from being released.

In any case, the Broadway recording with Newley and Quayle is again available. I'm glad to have both.

Lacks magic.......2000-02-12

Newley was the magic. At the Broadway performance we saw in '63 and in the Album with Anna Quayle there was fresh energy and not a false moment. It's not entirely fair to compare but in comparison, this is stale and leaden...like the movie made of Stop The World (without Newley).

What else we might have written was already said exactly as we would have said it by Jeff Dunn in his review.

We gave three stars because it is still Newley and Bricusse and so it is still marvelous invention and worth a '...quick butcher's hook....'

Sorry to say that this release does not measure up to the 10/12/1988 Polydor 820 261 distributed by UNI and now out of print. I must heartily agree with Mr. Dunn (above). Bring back the Original Broadway cast!

BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST ALBUM.......2000-01-13

To start off with, I am an avid Anthony Newly fan and was really sadden by his death. I did get to see the original Broadway show. Unfortunatly, this new version does not match the original. Newlys way of putting over a song is missed. The songs seem to be sung much slower so the performers can sing the songs. It was Newlys show and when you listen to the original cast album, you can tell the difference. Lets hope they will reissue the origianl cast album again. It is an important Broadway musical and should be back on cd for the people who did not get a chance to get it when it was available. I'm glad I was one of the lucky ones. Did we really need another recording of Stop The World? I don't think so.
