Album Description
Produced by Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos, this debut album from British sensation The Cribs, blasts perfect pop songs with provocative punk power. The melodies are brash and memorable, the hooks undeniable, and the lyrics spiced with intelligence and healthy cynicism.
Album Description
Third album from the brotherly British trio (Ryan, Gary and Ross Jarman), the follow-up to their 2005 breakthrough album The New Fellas. Their past success allowed them the freedom to pick their producer and the band ended up choosing Franz Ferdinand maninman Alex Kapranos, who was on the same musical wavelength and understood what the band wanted to achieve. Features 12 tracks including the first single 'Men's Needs'. Wichita. 2007.

Open ALL the boxes!!!!!.......2007-07-23
I fell upon this gem of band, thanks to an entry on Ben Gibbards "MOG" which urged fellow DCFC fans to go out buy MNWNW. Their sound is definitely unlike any "others" out there. The three brothers produce a combination of rock and indie, think Kaiser Chiefs (who are their friends) with a different lead singer. And don't let the track titles steer you wrong, although the Crib's lyrics have that dry sense of humor/cynicism about them, the songs themselves are made to put you in a good mood. The catchy tune on a long drive.
Not a skipable track, but my favorites are Our Bovine Public, Mens Needs, I'm a REALIST, I've tried everything and the awesome Be Safe, which has the same idea as Radiohead's Fitter Happier.... "These are the days when I hate the world Hate the rich, hate the happy, hate the complacent, the TV watchers, beer drinkers, the satisfied ones. Because I know I can be all of those little hateful things. And then I hate myself for realising that"
Pricelesss. Give the Cribs a try!

Louisa May Alcott's novel Little Women concerns four sisters in post-Civil War Massachusetts, but at times it feels as if its musical adaptation should have been called "Little Woman," so focused on a single sibling it is. Both Allan Knee's book and Sutton Foster's natural charisma and energy help constantly train the spotlight onto tomboy Jo. Yet it's not that much of a problem because Foster is strong enough to carry the show. She gets excellent support from the rest of the cast and especially cabaret artist Maureen McGovern, who as Marmee gets two beautiful ballads ("Here Alone" and "Days of Plenty") that are tailor-made for her imperial, burnished tone, and could well acquire a life outside the show. Composer Jason Howland worked as either musical director or musical supervisor on three period-set Frank Wildhorn musicals (Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel and The Civil War), which gives him a distinct experience in dealing with the historical setting here. Although the score oftentimes veers to the bland side, Howland also shows encouraging signs of spryness ("Five Forever") and melodic confidence that at one point slyly honors Sondheim ("Astonishing"). Old-fashioned in the best possible way, Little Women makes a good complement to Wicked for those trying to entice a younger audience to the delights of the musical theater. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Customer Reviews:
Love It!!!.......2007-06-27
My school is going to be doing this musical next spring so I bought this CD in order to prepare for it. I fell in love with the music. Much like the book, it is personal, tender, and real. Some songs are just so heartwrenching I want to cry (but maybe I am a little bit of a drama queen). Simply gripping, I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who loves musical theater.
Beautiful and better than expected.......2007-05-15
I had heard so many mixed things about this show, and so I missed the chance to see it on Broadway. Well, now I am sure wishing I had seen it, because the story that unfolds on this CD is so beautiful and so reminiscent of the book I adored when I was a "little woman." I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying the joyous romp and sense of adventure that imbues this musical journey. Nearly every song captivated me, though I must admit it took a few passes before I finally embraced the entire score. Now I giggle with delight at the "Operatic Tragedy," "Our Finest Dreams" and "The Weekly Volcano Press." I also love "I'd Be Delighted," as Meg and Jo prep for the ball, and I adore Laurie's "Take a Chance on Me." Such passion! And the composers completely capture Jo's yearning to be something more in "Astonishing." Fantastic!
The ballads are simply gorgeous! I cannot get through Maureen McGovern's song, "Days of Plenty" without sheeding tears. And "The Fire Within Me" is likewise a heartfelt testamanet of love for one's family. So beautiful!
Open your heart, ears, and imagination to Little Women and enjoy the journey.
Good Idea Gone Bad.......2007-03-16
I loved the book Little Women, and I love musicals, but this CD did not blend the two well at all! I could barely get through the CD, there may be one or two songs I would listen to again, but not very often. It was difficult to see how these songs could do justice to the mood of the book. I feel that they hurt the story. I don't recommend buying this album.
What a BORE!.......2006-07-22
Saw the show in Washington and nearly fell asleep. Should never have been made. The score is dismall with a couple of all too brief moments of musicality, wisely given to Maureen McGovern. However, it's not enough to save this misguided mess. Skip the CD, pick up Jane Eyre, a musical version of a classic that works beautifully and deserved more success than it acheived.
Foster Showcase.......2006-05-06
Little Women is all about Sutton Foster. She does a great job, but as shown by the earily closing of the show it, one actress can't fix a flop. The songs in Little Women which tell a story or forward the plot of the show like "Weekly Volcano Press," "Astonishing," and "An Operatic Tradegy" are good and very entertaining, however a lot of the other songs in the show are stagnant. Basically any number without Foster or McGovern in it is not worth listening to. The show comes across as having good intentions. Though it has some good songs (I know people who have used some as audition pieces well), it does not seem to jump out at the audience at all.

This set of Anna Russell's inspired satirical monologues should be labeled with a warning notice. Why? Because after listening to her whirlwind explication of Wagner's Ring Cycle, even the most confirmed Wagnerite will be unable to listen to the Ring for weeks to come. Just listening to Russell declare in an incredulous voice: "I'm not making this up, y'know" is enough to induce you to shed bucketloads of laughter-induced tears. Gilbert and Sullivan fans will find their heroes savaged in her concoction of a typical G&S product, complete with a soprano lead who "loves below her station." Other targets include "the nymphs and shepherds" style of quavery English singing, complete with "hey-nonny-nonny's," coloratura mad scenes, and much else, including Russian folk songs, like her "Da, nyet, da, nyet." This disc is packed with laughs, chuckles, smiles, and everything. --Dan Davis
Customer Reviews:
Intelligent and musical fun.-.......2007-01-13
Due to the recent passing away of the legenday Anna Russell I bought this record and certainly did not regret it.- Inspite of having been originally recorded in 1952 and 1953 the sound is very good.- Ms. Russell combines a great sense of humour with profound musical knowledge, a wonderful timing of her jokes, and the talent of a gifted and very musical singer.- She captures the essence of the German lied, the French mélodie, the efforts of a dramatic soprano to make herself heard over the huge Wagnerian orchestra, culminating in her famous, already classic, 22 minutes long analysis of Wagner's Ring of the Nibelungs.- I listened to this recording three times in a row and had great fun.- Only Victor Borge can be compared to her with respect to this rare combination of deep musicianship with a real gift for comedy.- If you don't know yet these numbers, don't hesitate - buy the record, you will not be sorry.-
The Genius of Anna Russell.......2006-03-15
If you love music, but are happy to see the funny side of even the great composers, then this album is for you. Anna Russell is a singer of note but a comedian of greatness. She finds the pivotal styles of composers and caricatures them to great effect. The explanations she gives of the basics of Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas and the way she dissects Wagners Ring Cycle bring tears to the eyes with laughter. I recommend this album to all music lovers with a twinkle in their eyes. Truly a great comic experience.
If you enjoy laughing.........2006-02-23
I love opera, but I also enjoy spoofs of opera. Anna Russell was a classic "spoofer" of operatic stories and conventions. Nobody does it better. My favorite on this album is her take-off on Wagner's "Ring."
This CD can probably also be enjoyed by those who have only a nodding acquaintance with opera, but may not be enjoyed by those who take opera with 100% seriousness.
Anna Russell strikes again!.......2005-10-14
I have heard all of these Anna Russell selections at one time or another, but having them all together in one place, and on a CD, is a real plus. She is absolutely riotously funny. I teach a course in "Introduction to opera" and use her segments on Gilbert and Sullivan and on the Ring Cycle in class, just to lighten things up a bit for the students.
Anna Russell is a SCREAM!.......2005-08-05
I've had the vinyl of this album for over 20 years; the CD purchase was to update my system. For anyone who loves classical vocal music, and in particular the Wagner Ring Cycle and Gilbert and Sullivan, this album is a MUST. You will split your sides laughing; Ms. Russell is so very accurate in her comedy. Also, truth to tell, her Ring synopsis gave me, a newcomer to Wagner (years ago) a solid understanding of the musical plot and story line.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST.......2007-05-13
I shouldn't have to convince anyone of the musical genius that is Van Halen. The music on this CD will stand the test of time, and will never lose it's value to those who appreciate rock.If you don't have this, you should. You will have made a wise choice.Feel good about that.
Worst Roth-era disc..........2007-03-12
By far. Can't beleive all of the glowing reviews for this one. Well, i guess thats what this page can do sometimes. Just a lousey, confused effort in my book. Love VH too, favorite band of all time, but just could never warm up to WACF. "CRADLE" and "EVERYBOY WANTS..." are decent VH staples and fine in their own right, but the REST! Much of the material on this album sounds like B-side and outtakes! "LOSS OF CONTROL" "COULD THIS BE MAGIC" AND "TAKE YOUR WHISKEY HOME" are just failed experiments. WACF is just a weak, limp-wristed transistional album for the band. It still gets two stars because this is atleast better then III and much of the dreck put out under VAN HAGAR.
Here is the 3 best VH albums;
(1) "Fair Warning"
(2) "VH 1"
(3) "Diver Down" (the most underrated VH album)
Here are the 3 worst;
(1) "OU812"
(2) "Women and Children First"
(3) "VH III (everyone loves to bash this monstosity)"
Growth.......2007-02-12
The short 20 second song after "in a simple rhyme" is the uncredited/unfinished "Growth", and that symbolized this record, big improvement from VHII, better songs and ed's first Keyboard song "...and the cradle will rock" done on a distorted electric piano through a flanger.
THE VAN HALEN LEGEND CONTINUES WITH WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST! .......2007-01-07
I will be writing a review on the legendary brilliant masterpiece album entitled "WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST" by one of Rock's most ALL-TIME greatest legendary bands ever, I'm talking about the GREAT LEGENDARY V-A-N H-A-L-E-N! "WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST" was originally released in 1980 on the Warner Brothers Records label in association with Van Halen Productions Inc. I purchased the very first release of this album on Compact Disc and the matrix or ID number is 3415-2. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary album, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.
WOW! What can I say about this legendary album and the great legendary band that recorded it all those years ago that hasn't already been said? Instead of writing and adding my own personal notes, I will quote word for word what is written on the inner sleeve album notes as follows: "WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST" was Van Halen's third album and third consecutive multi-million best seller. Released in March of 1980, it contained nine original songs including such instant Van Halen classics as "And The Cradle Will Rock...," "Tora! Tora!" and "Everybody Wants Some!!"
The Netherlands-born Van Halen brothers were originally trained as concert pianists. When the family relocated to Los Angeles, Alex (drums) and Eddie (guitar) joined forces with Midwestern-bred vocalist David Lee Roth and bassist Michael Anthony to form Mammoth. After changing its name to VAN HALEN, the group became a club favorite and was signed to Warner Brothers Records in 1977.
Van Halen's first two albums and the group's legendary live performances on two sold-out world tours established the band as a premiere rock attraction. Returning to the studio in 1980 with producer Ted Templeman, they recorded "WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST" in two and a half weeks. The album raced into the Top 5, where it remained for more than two months and became a certified Platinum seller.
As you can see, this is definitely a great legendary treasure album worth purchasing that he or she should definitely own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This legendary album will also prove to persevere and endure the test of time and will get better with age like wine. This legendary priceless gem will always be around to be enjoyed and cherished for many more years to come, NOW AND FOREVER!
In closing, As we all fully well know, the VAN HALEN legend does not even come close to ending here either! If anything, IT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! VAN HALEN would continue to release many more great albums that were still yet to come that lied ahead. There would also prove to be more tales and stories in the VAN HALEN legend that would still need to be conquered and written in chapters. But that, my fellow readers and reviews, is something that you will have to stay tuned and read further on at a later date. Here's to you David Lee, Eddie, Alex and Michael. Keep Persevering! Keep The Faith! And as the saying goes folks, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," am I wrong or need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. VAN HALEN RULES! Long Live Rock n' Roll! Rock out always and take it easy. Forever in Rock n' Roll, J.L.

masters of classical music.......2007-03-26
A nice collection for the classical listener. Great variety of composers and the music quality of the cds are very good.
A good basic collection.......2006-11-10
With selections from numerous composers, it is an easy way to familiarize oneself with some of the most popular classical works and excerpts. A pleasant listen for the initiated too.
An excellent introduction to classical music.......2006-10-18
This is an excellent introduction to classical music. Well performed and presented.
Very Beautiful!!!!!1.......2006-10-05
If you are a fan of classical music then you better get this set. Not only is it very cheap, 10 Discs for about 2$ per disk. Now where are you gonna find a deal like this. I actually found mine chaper, $20.00 even and the music is outstanding. If you had a very bad day and very stressed out, just put in one of these cds, lay down, dim down the lights and just relax. It really helped me out.
Still Stuck on Beethoven.......2006-08-22
I just recently started listening to classical music so I'm certainly not one to compare or critique the quality of this set. However, I do have a few comments...
My interest started in this genre of music because I'm researching my ancestry in Prussia and this is the music of those times. Never mind my ancestors were poor peasants who probably never got the chance to hear such wonderful music... when listening to these CDs, I'm taken back in time... to a royal court in Europe... to another place in time. The music is inspiring, relaxing, invigorating.
I have yet to listen to all the CD's in the set. I'm stuck on Beethoven! Wasn't he AWESOME!?!
I think this set is a wonderful introduction to classical music!!!!!

Excellent but very short tracks.......2007-03-14
I bought this CD because I've always loved listening to the music on the movie. However I am a bit disappointed that at least half of the tracks on the CD are less then a minute long. One of them is only 23 seconds and some only 35 to 45 seconds each! I still enjoy the CD for what it is, the music is excellent it's just a little annoying that the tracks are so short.
Beautiful music.......2007-01-19
This CD contains the beautiful music from this classic movie. All music without singing or talking is included, so, sadly, you won't find songs like "For the Beauty of the Earth," or "Here We Come a Wasseling." Every great movie has an overture, and this soundtrack includes that. It brings back memories.
Lovely Soundtrack.......2007-01-16
Little Women soundtrack is lovely.
This is the kind of CD you can listen to any time even when you have a dinner party.
If you enjoy the movie you will like the soundtrack.
Beautiful.......2006-12-30
This CD is beautiful. I had loved the music from when I first saw the movie. The music is great and I listen to the music when I'm away at college studying. It keeps me up.
Absolutely amazing!!.......2006-11-02
I have loved the music of this movie ever since I was a little girl and the movie first came out. I finally got the CD and I am very pleased!
Though the 26 track cd is less than 40 minutes, each track is incredibly moving in their own right. My personal favorites are Orchard House, Spring, Harvest Time, Valley of the Shadow, and the last track Under the Umbrella.
If you love good orchestral music, this soundtrack is for you. You will not be disappointed!

The original 1978 Broadway cast recording of Stephen Schwartz's Working has long been awaited on CD, and this great-sounding 2001 release proves it was worth the wait. Surely one of the more unlikely sources for a musical was Studs Terkel's 1972 book that compiled interviews of American working people discussing their jobs and what they liked and disliked about them. Schwartz transformed these interviews into a series of songs written by himself, Craig Carnelia, Mary Rodgers and Susan Birkenhead, Micki Grant, and pop singer James Taylor, and accordingly the variety of songs is as great as the variety of the workers featured. There's the lyric beauty of "The Mason," the rueful "Just a Housewife," the retiree's wry "Joe," the waitress's lilting "It's an Art," Taylor's pop-country "Brother Trucker," and the powerful emotion of "Fathers and Sons," realized by a compelling cast that features David Patrick Kelly, Joe Mantegna, Bob Gunton, and Lynne Thigpen, among others.
Six bonus tracks include a new version of the grocery checker song written for the 1999 L.A. Theatreworks production, Carnelia and Grant performing their own songs (unfortunately, Grant's track comes from a poor-quality audio source), and Schwartz's moving performance of "Fathers and Sons" from 1999's The Stephen Schwartz Album. Also welcome are 2001 notes from Schwartz paired with 1978 notes from Terkel, and a detailed listing of the composers and performers of each song. Working was filmed for American Playhouse in 1982. --David Horiuchi
Customer Reviews:
An underrated musical.......2006-03-16
This musical seems to be very underrated, because it isn't done in a traditional style. There is no set storyline or characters. It is essentially a grouping of songs about different people and the work they do in their lives. Some of the songs are very powerful, like "Millworker", and some are just fun, like "Lovin' Al". Some songs date the recording, as songs like "Brother Trucker", while good, have a bit of a synthesized 70's feel. The majority of the songs are more traditional.
I saw this show done by my high school years ago, so maybe it holds a bit of nostalgia for me, but it is definitely worth checking out.
Wonderful Lesser Known Gem.......2005-12-26
I have never seen Working, but would love to, and I would love to perform it so as to revive interest in it. I found out about this recording from an online site, and I fell in love with it. It's a very modern style musical although from 1978. Were it on Broadway today, it would still be revelent to today's working class. My favorite number probably has to be "It's An Art", just because of its sheer fun. I could listen to that song all day and never get bored with it. I do, however, find "Brother Trucker" to be a bit tiring, and "Neat To Be A Newsboy" is just plain old, outdated, and ANNOYING! Other than that, wonderful ablum for an almost forgetten show.
Keep Working!!!.......2004-06-12
I had the privilege of seeing a production of this wonderful musical at L.A. Valley College in May 2004. I quickly fell in love with the songs and the entire premise of the musical. Now, with this CD, I can finally sing along to all the brilliant songs over and over again, belting them out like there is no tomorrow.
What makes Working so special is that anyone can relate to the lyrics, they are powerful, beautiful, touching, and extremely real. Anyone who has ever worked a day in their life will feel the lyrics hit close to home. Whether you're a housewife, a valet parker, a fireman, a millworker, a teacher, a cleaning woman, or even a hooker, this musical has a place for you, no matter what job you do.The emotion, sincerity, and love expressed in the songs are amazing, and they are all extremely unique and a pure joy to listen to.
All the songs are fantastic but the stand-outs have to be "All the Live Long Day," "Just a Housewife," "If I Could've Been," "It's An Art," "Father's and Sons," "Cleaning Women," and "Something to Point to." I also have a soft spot for "Brother Trucker" and "I'm Just Movin" from the 1999 revival, which I am so grateful is included in this CD. This is a terrific, feel-great album everyone should listen to. Give Working a chance, it's worth it.
a good, if obscure CD.......2003-09-26
i admit that this is an obscure musical, but nevertheless i found myself in a production of WORKING as Grace, the millworker. upon listening to the cd, i found that each song characterized the character well. the newsboy song is NOT annoying and my favourite songs are "its an art", "cleaning women", "if i could've been" and "lovin al". I would only recommend this CD for a real musical theatre afficionado, as those who don't appreciate the beauty of a musical won't understand these songs.
off the beaten path.......2003-07-10
I had never heard of this show until I stage managed a musical revue that included "If I Could've Been." That song grew on me, and I finally had to check out the rest of the soundtrack. All of the music on this CD is fantastic, and the lyrics feel sincere, creating beautiful moments for each character. Stephen Schwartz's best decision with this show was collaborating, allowing different composers to bring their own talents and specialties to the music, thus making it more real and less "Broadway." My only criticism is that the liner notes are slim.

wonderful.......2007-07-22
These CD's were wonderful. When I drive in the Sierra Nevada mountians I want something peaceful but not boring. I love, love, love it.
Repackaged New Year's Concert 1984 with VPO, etc........2005-02-23
If I'm not mistaken, most of the pieces were recorded originally live during a 1984 New Year's Concert conducted by Lorin Maazel with the Vienna Philharmonic playing in its grand concert hall, the Musikverein. Maazel and the Vienna Philharmonic have had a longstanding relationship dating from the 1960's, and without question, this CD does rank among my favorite New Year's Concert performances (However, the most mesmerizing ones I've heard have been those with the late Carlos Kleiber and Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducting.) for the superb quality of the Vienna Philharmonic's playing. Maazel leads the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in some of the most popular works composed by the Strauss family, most notably Johann II Strauss' Tales from the Vienna Woods Waltz, Emperor Waltz, Pizzicato Polka, Blue Danube Waltz and his father's Radetzky March, which traditionally closes out the annual New Year's Concert. Fans of the Strauss family, Vienna Philharmonic and Lorin Maazel, will not be disappointed with this excellent two CD compilation.
I am glad I bought this one.......2003-04-25
I listen to this cd to relax and it is so soothing. It starts with The blue Danube, which is my favorite. But the rest of the songs do not disapoint.
Great Music as usual.......2002-10-08
This is great recording,
I enjoy listening to it
veru much. This is a
compilation of all the
favorite waltzes by
the Strauss family, that
one might hear at a
New Year's eve concert
of the Vienna Philharmonic...
All waltzes and Polkas are
favorites of audiences everywhere
in the world...
A gem!.......2001-10-29
Who else knows Strauss better than Viennese? I attest that no other orchestra in the world plays Strauss better than the Vienna Philharmonic. Their light sound is exactly what the composer wanted, and it really makes other clumsy, heavy attempts by some other orchestras like Berlin and Chicago seem pathetic.
As far as the content of these CDs go, they are fantastic. They have every waltz, march, and polko of Strauss II that you could possibly want, as well as a nice addition of "Radetzky March" by the composer's father. If you are looking for a Johann Strauss Jr. CD, get this one!

Released partly to celebrate International Women's Day, a holiday recognized by the United Nations, these eleven unplugged tunes from as many female singers make wonderfully varied and pleasurable listening. And the performers' backgrounds are equally fascinating. Some are comparatively well-known; Sandrine Kiberlain is a French movie star while The Wailin' Jennys, from Canada, have appeared on Prairie Home Companion. Meanwhile, Emiliana Torrini, of Icelandic-Italian parentage, made her mark with "Gollum's Song" from the second Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Others found their voices through travel--Luca Mundaca was born in Chile, irresistibly drawn to Brazil, and now lives in the USA. Marta Topferova has achieved such an effortless command of South American traditions that hardly anyone ever guesses that she is originally from the Czech Republic. As each lady in turn assumes center stage, she bewitches all comers with her own brand of adroitness, confidence and charm. Although the music is, for the most part, richly redolent of folkloric sources, many of the artists display a neo-cabaret sophistication that somehow never lapses into world-weariness. A final note: a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this album will be donated to the Global Fund For Women, a good cause if ever there was one. --Christina Roden

Album Description
Each March women all over the world celebrate International Women's Day. A national holiday in many countries, this day celebrates everyday women as makers of history. Though often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, this day allows women everywhere to look back on a tradition of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development. Women of the World: Acoustic celebrates this tradition with an exploration of acoustic music by some of the world's leading female artists.
Some of the women featured on Women of the World: Acoustic include the following. Sandrine Kiberlain is known first and foremost as an actress, having appeared in over 20 French films. "M'envoyer des Fleurs" is from her first and only album. The Canadian trio The Wailin' Jennys harmonizes together beautifully on "One Voice," a song from the group's debut album 40 Days.
The half-Icelandic, half-Italian Emiliana Torinni is perhaps most recognizable as the voice behind the enchanting "Gollum's Song" from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. She has also toured with Thievery Corporation. "Sunnyroad" is taken from her second.
Marta Topferova was born in the Czech Republic, but found her voice in the folk traditions of Latin America after discovering the Chilean protest group Inti-Illimani. Colombia native Marta Gomez contributes the haunting "Paula Ausente," a song based on the book "Paula" by noted Chilean author Isabelle Allende.
Rounding out the album is Luca Mundaca. Originally from Chile, she now resides in the U.S. Mundaca fuses her contemporary folk sensibilities with bossa nova and contributes "Não se Apavore."
A portion of Putumayo's proceeds from the sale of this album will be donated to the Global Fund for Women in support of their efforts to promote and defend the human rights of women and girls around the world.

I'm already a fan of World music, but Putumayo always seems to find the performers and sounds that make for great crossover music. I expecially liked the Wailin' Jenny's take on One Voice, and Sandrine Kiberlain's M'envoyer des Fleurs.
All the performances were somehow calming and energizing at the same time. Most I would put in the jazz genre.
I love this CD.

Awesome! Powerful!!!.......2007-08-02
This CD is a must have. I purchased it for myself and was so blessed...I decided to purchase it for two others and they couldn't stop thanking me. I repeat the entire CD over and over. Although I do have some personal favorites (Come Boldly, When I find Him, I Surrender All, Great Grace, You are God, Agnus Dei, As the Deer) O.K. the entire CD
We recently had a youth prayer night at our local Church and I played this CD and deliverance took place!!!! Purchase this CD and you won't regret it.
Most Superb Album of the Decade! .......2007-07-27
This is a prophetic Word to women who seek God all over the world! This collection is a masterpiece and if you have ears, you need to hear it over and over and over again!!!
Ushered Into The Presence Of God.......2007-07-24
This is definitely one of the most incredible worship cds that that I have listened to. The worship is so intimate and you really feel ushered into the presence of God. I believe this cd is very annointed and have told all of my friend how incredible it is. This would also make an outstanding gift for any woman.
Come boldly into His Presence!!!.......2007-06-11
It was not my intention to buy this CD but I was intrigued by the cover photos. The women were dressed so beautifully--formally-- and after listening to the music I realized that they were dressed to visit royalty and to go before His THRONE. I have been blessed by Mary Alessi's ministry in the past (More). This time she and her friends (including her twin sister, Martha Munizzi) have taken us to a place of true worship and worship only. This is the CD for your car and your other secret places. You will sing, you will cry, you will WORSHIP!
For True Worshippers.......2007-05-17
This is an awesome CD! If your desire is to worship, this is the CD for you. With it's familiar melodies and some new, you can't help but give God glory and honor.
