Fall in, funketeers: the first soundtrack to "Class of 3000," the Cartoon Network show executive-produced by Andre 3000 of OutKast, mashes up a melange of beats and styles so beautifully conceived, so inner-city cool, that parents who once grooved to the "Fat Albert" gang will find themselves in thrall (cartoons able to make the grade with school-age kids while putting across a message happen once every 30 years, apparently). Here we have the whole "3000" crew cutting up to Andre, a.k.a. Sunny Bridges', whip-smart concoctions--Li'l D, Kim and Kam, Tamika, Madison, Philly Phil, and Edward trade the spotlight on weird but wickedly fun tracks like "Banana Zoo," "Oh Peanut," and "We Want Your Soul." The messages seep through, but in the end the grooves matter most. Future funkers of America, take note. And tune in immediately. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

Class of 3000 is the critically-acclaimed Cartoon Network original series from creator and executive producers Andre "3000" Benjamin and Tom Lynch. Each episode features a new, original song written and performed by Andre "3000" Benjamin accompanied by an animated music video. In addition, Benjamin contributes his visual direction for the series and its original music videos. The Class of 3000: Music From The First Season CD is comprised of 15 songs from the show, performed by the kids/characters in the show, and executive-produced by, who else...Andre Benjamin!

ooooooh Peanut..........2007-07-31

If you or your kids are a fan of the show, then this is a must have. If you are a fan of Andre 3000's music, then this is a must have. All tracks are playful and very musical, like only Andre can do.

It's a great soundtrack.......2007-07-27

If you like the andre 3000 production, you'll love this soundtrack. one of the down sides i think are that some of the songs are short. other than that. I really like it.

What I was wishing for!.......2007-07-21

As a fan of the Class of 3000, I had been deeply disappointed that the songs weren't available as an album when I checked around Christmas time. But HOORAAAYYY! Cool non-babyish music by an "urban" artist that elementary school aged kids can enjoy with their parents? YES! As the mother of a nine yr old boy, I absolutely cringe at the lyrics of popular songs on the radio, and I would not consider myself particularly prudish at all. In fact, quite the opposite. I have been known to enjoy some down and dirty music myself, but for the kid? He's not ready for all that yet. As a music loving family, though, where do we look for jams? Especially rap or hip hop? Lil Bow Wow can only take us so far...

I have been lovin' Outkast for years and years and am so thrilled that Andre has made this creative choice. Never being one to play to stereotypes, he has made an awesome "family" album. If only other hip hop fathers would get over their gangsta selves and make music that they would let their own kids listen too!

awesome.......2007-07-08

the kids and i are jammin'!! great fun for the whole family... finally something we can all enjoy!

The Most Relaxing Classical Album In the World Eveer, Volume II.......2006-08-28

Good selection of music, poorly performed and badly arranged. Good album for a tag sale. Same comment applies for Volume I.

Great music listein to while you read in bed.......2005-08-21

I have listened to this CD for the last several years before going to sleep at night. I love classical music, and this is great music to help make my soul feel at peace and unwind after a taxing day.

A must buy for the non-snobbish classical music fan........2004-10-22

I bought Vol. 1 of this series and was quite satisfied, but I have to say I'm more than satisfied with this one. If you can just mellow out and enjoy some great pieces, you'll love this CD. #15 on Disc 2 is almost worth the price alone!

A bliss of spirit........2004-09-18

That's disc will open You a wonderful, beautiful world of sounds, their harmony & emotion : you'll feel your heart full of
Joy, Tears, Love.
Good LUCK!

Yes this CD will put you to sleep in minutes. Its the most boring uninspiring classical music. The first CD was very good but this Vol. 2 is like most movie sequels....AWFUL !

This awesome CD reminds me of my senior year of high school at the American School of the Hague in the Netherlands. Weekends were spent dancing my butt off to these awesome songs, I miss eurotechno, and eurodance! To anyone who loves to dance this is a must, not to mention this CD will have you moving at the gym!

An ok dance CD.......2003-11-30

This is an ok dance CD. Only about 4 good dance tracks worth the listen such as "Who Do U Love" - Deborah Cox, "Be My Lover" - La Bouche feat. Melanie Thornton, "Dreamer" - Livin' Joy, "Beautiful Life" - Ace of Base. The rest is basically pretty boring. Not a great dance CD, but still an ok one. Get this only if you like most of the tracks and artists on this dance compilation album.

There's a lot to be said for continuity and high concept, and Coheed and Cambria have invented an elaborate geeky parallel sci-fi world that spread over four CDs. If you follow the story line, it unfolds like some punk Harry Potter series; equally ambitious and didactic and almost as tightly written as the Moody Blues' "Days of Future Passed." You can also listen to each of the albums without a thought about the story and marvel at the musicianship, the intricately layered guitars, Claudio Sanchez's overwrought and rather pinched vocals and the sheer imagination displayed by these four musicians whose idiosyncratic emo seamlessly flows into prog rock. Epic, surreal, bigger than life, and utterly unlike anything you've heard in decades--even Geddy Lee expounding on free will. -- Jaan Uhelszki

Customer Reviews:

The 'musically stunted mans Dream Theater'!.......2007-07-26

As a prog and metal rock fan for over 30 years, I tried real hard to like this enigmatic release, but in my opinion it falls short on many levels. The vocalist is horrendous. He has been compared to Geddy Lee by many, but Geddy's voice has a LOT more soul, timbre, and smoothness. Comparisons to Dream Theater have also been made as well, but C&C's chord progressions and guitar work sound purposeless and disjointed, and DO have elements of the lousy 'Emo rock' genre. The fact that many here bring this up must mean many of us hear it. I applaud bands that try to 'push or break the musical envelope', but unfortunately, C&C's sound comes across as confused with no real musical direction. You can play with fervor and conviction, as these guys do, BUT if the music sounds forced and boring, there's nothing you can do to 'connect' with some listeners. Not my cup of tea.

If Lord of the Rings was put in a blender with Led Zeplin..........2007-07-17

I wasn't excpepting much from this album before purchasing. I heard the Suffering which I thought was catchy, but I thought there was no way the album could be that good the whole way threw. I was wrong. The music ranges from rythmic harder rock (Welcome Home, and some of the later songs on the album) to really out there fast beats (Once upon your dead body, the Suffering).

Were this album really succeds is in it's great stroyline. The artwork of the album as well as the music relays a sense of epic-ness. You truly will not understand the depth of this Cd until you've heard it first-hand. Buy this CD I could not have been more pleased. In the great words of Apollo I and II, tonight the night on Burning Star IV...

You also may want to check out the Special Edition of the album. The Special Edition comes with a bonus DVD.

a modern experience I'll never forget.......2007-07-09

Luis Mejia (son) - I have to admit that I am one of those guys who love proffesional and complex music but I certainly lost my hope since mid 90's, specially in prog and good rock, and stayed in the era of the 70's, a magical era wich I didn't live. I never met the band 'till I heard the genre "new prog" and Coheed And Cambria was on the main charts, I also recognized the band because my cousin told me about it so I decided to give them a try, and this was the first album I bought seen the good critics and sales. Low in hopes, even when I heard the first track I was surprised they applied that kind of instruments in a classical way. Even more than a year that I've heard this album from the first track to the last one I'm still shocked of how excellent, delicate and professional it is!

I characterize this album more as heavy metal or progressive metal, even a litle bit of alt rock, but it stays a little apart from prog, even when it has certain characteristics of the genre.

The composition of each track is simple superb, delicate, heavy and well thought. Lisetn well, EVERY track is incredible and outstanding, one of the few album you don't have to skip any track; Welcome Home, Ten Speed (Of God Blood And Burial), the four fragments of The Willing Well (specially part 4), The Suffering and Wake Up are extremelly potent tracks that show every characteristic of the album, including soft ballads (until half of the album I never imagined a soft track), rythmical and confortable tracks like The Suffering, heavy, potential tracks with escapist sounds like Welcome Home and Ten Speed, the most likely prog songs like the fragments of The Willnig Well, and so on, each track is different from the other one. The moods of the CD are quite difficult to identify; I quite agree with those reviewers who characterize this album mainly EMO, and though it has many characteristics of EMO (wich I still do not think is a defined or even real genre) it also assimilates alt rock, prog, heavy metal, and so on; within the moods the songs are very different among each other but I can say their moods are agressive, hard, soft, constantly changing, experimental and a certain level of complexity.

Among the artists the guitar of Travis Stever is the best feature in the album, he's such a talented guitarrist, Claudio Sanchez vocals are very melodic and nice to hear but it isn't a voice such talented and trained but stunning as well, Josh Eppard drums are one of those instruments that in every song you listen to them carefully, and Michael Todd bass can be heard, you don't know how it bothers me not to be able to hear a bass in a song, but he makes it sound incredible.

Viewed as a concept album, its a little weird and even a little dumb as a concept album, I trully know that they are trying to make five albums about Teh Amory Wars but it's obvious that Coheed And Cambria would have a lot more credit and much better critics if it weren't for this detail.

In conclussion this band demonstrate among a world full of pitiful new music how still it can be excellent compositions written, if they only take their time, any musician can bring back the flame of music, good music, and the CD is a masterpiece, my sincere recommendations to everyone who appreciates good music.

Alan Dean Foster Meets Rush!.......2007-05-25

As my title states, Coheed & Cambria remind me of a really good sci/fi book set to music. Like a cross between Star Wars and Dream Theatre. I got IKSOSE first and still like that album better, I think simply because it is easier to follow the storyline. This album is much more musically complex though. It took me a long time to get used to the Claudio's voice because I a fan of Doom Metal not pop (not that they are a pop band), so it actually was the storyline that got me so interested. If you like concept albums, this is like trying to solve a really awesome riddle. I love the intro to Good Apollo with the violin!

Great Album.......2007-05-09

Yes C&C is an acquired taste, everything written in other reviews for all the albums pretty much spells out what people like about them. They are just what the current scene lacks, and bring back melodic, powerful, catchy metal in spades.....call it emo(the stupidest label ever coined bar none) or any other dumb term you want.....these guys simply rock.
The reviewer below is more interested in the album art, if thats your concern stick with cereal boxes or bazooka joe wrappers, this is rock n' roll. He also claims "sub par musicianship", which is an amazingly naive statement by someone who must know little about that which they speak. Grab a guitar and write tunes anywhere near this level. Sub par my a**. These guys are at the top of their game.

Cool versions ;-).......2006-03-15

I love R Kelly and all of his music, and now to get some remixes from him is fantastic because while not all artists make good remixes; he has done a great job. The songs on here are all great songs to start with, but now most are enhanced really well. I especially love Your Body's Calling, I Can't Sleep Baby, Down Low and Step In The Name Of Love. They are the best cuts here but for all R Kelly fans, you won't be too disappointed. He's such a talented artist, and this is a fantastic addition to your R Kelly collection.

This Is.........The REMIX!.......2006-03-09

Most R Kelly fans have everything this man has put out anyways. But for those who were late jumping on the bandwagon, Remix City Volume One serves up the hottest (and a few not so hot) remixes that span R Kelly's entire career. Remixes for classics songs like "Bump and Grind," "Slow Dance," "Your Body's Callin'," "Sex Me," "I Can't Sleep Baby," and "Down Low" already make this disc worth the money. Additional jams like the remixes for "I Wish (To The Homies That We Lost)," "I Mean (I Don't Mean It)" "Step In The Name Of Love,"and "Ignition" further exemplify the worth of this disc. Some songs like the two "Feelin' On Your Booty" remixes as well as "Slow Wind" and "Burn It Up" could have been left off and replaced with other remixess. I guess we'll have to wait for the obviously-needed Volume Two for any other jems.

just a point VOL. 2 coming soon.......2005-12-03

i just wanted to point out b/c the review before me stated that all the remixes werent there which is something that also came to my mind when i listened and read the tracks . i wanted to point out this is VOL. 1 meaning 9 out of 10 there will be a VOL. 2 more money if u break it up :)

only for those who are not familiar with r.kelly.......2005-11-26

first of all, this album is clean! i mean, non explicit. you cant enjoy anything if you have songs filled with blanks and blurs.
i wont say this album is bad. if you're a real r. kelly fan, then you should know or have had possession of these songs for a long line of years now. but if you're not a big r. kelly fan, then i would say this remix collection is a weak perspective of his better work in the past decade.
like i said this is a clean record. it has removed the explicit content of his better songs like "live to regret it" from the "down low" single. ofcourse the remixes inspired from his original 12 play album are just CLASSIC! but once those songs are over you begin to see his style as it has changed over the years and you may even sense how much his remixes lack originality in the latter of the album. i think he really should have included remixes that i find missing from the late 90's like "gotham city remix"-which was an awesome remix, hell even the "street dreams remix" he did with nas was great! or the "did you ever think remixes" or the "i believe i can fly remix", how lush were those?!
over all,this album is a great waste of new material, and could have positively been organized with what does exist in a better order but thats not what we got. this album is only a 5 star album to he/she whom has never had an r.kelly experience.
and even if you wanted a better r.kelly experience, i would have to recommend his self titled album which was a great album in '95, and then the record "R." that he had was even better (not to mention a double disc), but the pinnacle of his best studio albums i would have to say to be "[...]". after that, you're just gonna have to make a draw for it, cuz r.kelly just isnt the r&b pioneer he used to be.

Bare Essentials Vol. 1 contains many of Naked Music's classics making it an essential purchase for anyone who enjoys deep house. By now, I would assume most people are familiar with the naked music sound, but just incase, here's my take: jazzy arrangements, clean, clear production, lush textures, latin percussion, straight ahead dance beats, and of course, amazing female vocal work. Of course some songs and artists vary from this formula, but overall, it fits their style quite well. The music is uniformly positive and uplifting. It's typically laid back, but almost always encourages dancing. Sound good? It is.

Bare Essential's is a great introduction to this sound and style. If the term "house" scares you, don't worry - this isn't more of the rather dubious trash that people have come to associate with house music. The music is equally good for listening and relaxing. Some have accused Naked Music of putting out compilations of tracks that all sound exactly the same. Rather, Naked Music has a voice, a style that works and the artists tend to use it as a point of departure. True, most of the tracks have a four-on-the-floor dance groove, but so does pretty much all techno. Nothing wrong with techno (I love Jeff Mills, Derreck May, and Underground Resistance as much as anyone), but this is not nearly as repetitive as techno fans are used to. Besides that, the music just sounds good. It's fun, it's light (but not lightweight), and is great for parties. If you're a fan of electronic music, you will surely enjoy this introduction to the Naked Music sound.

Groovy, Funky, Housy, Jazzy... But mostly SEXY !.......2005-06-27

Hmmmm, I'll have another vodka martini please. Straight-up, a couple of olives...

I hate to review this album and say what's been said before but I have to. This is a CD you MUST own if you like sexy house music. You can call this one downtempo lounge, midtempo, deep house, or whatever you want to call it... It doesn't matter. One thing is for sure: IT IS SEXY. This is a beautiful selection of HOUSE tracks you can chill to, SMOKE to, drink to, think to, make love to (of course), and dance to. You'll find here flutes, strings, funky bass, housy beats, and very sexy vocals that make this compilation a must have if you're into quality electronic music.

It is not perfect, but it is quite good.

Good deep house.......2005-02-27

This is a good CD for those starting out or to further flesh out a collection. My favorite is the Attaboy remix of Surrender.

Strong CD.......2004-08-02

Very good CD, doesn't flow as much as some of the other Naked Music cd's but still a nice vibe and laid backness to the CD that actaully gets better with every listen.

Excellent.......2006-02-08

This is a sterling album that not only takes me back to my childhood but also examines one the most famous exponents of this artform. THe songs are still as lyrical, poignent and accessible as when they written. Funny clever and entertaining just listen and you fall in love all over again

R-I-K-K-I T-I-K-K-I T-A-V-I.......2005-07-24

Via his late 50s/early 60s singles, Mighty Sparrow staked out a claim as the greatest English-speaking pop artist of the 20th century. Exhibit A is on this disc. Melodies abound and Sparrow can sing them all with grace, style, and humor. The horn charts are of surpassing brilliance, "No Money No Love" being a prime example. The rhythm sections propel forcefully and rhythmically without ever taking the focus away from the song. Lyrically, he is by turns incisive and amusing, and usually both. I mean, can't you use a disc where the singer spells out the title of a children's tale in perfect cadence? (I know I can.) If I could keep only one disc from my collection, it would be this compilation. If I could keep only one song from my collection, it would be this disc's "Governor's Ball", an allegorical tale of a free spirit/lunatic who takes over a stuffy party, sung to a soaring melody and backed by a band equal to the singer.

.......2006-10-05

Really enjoyable psychadelic record that is even more enjoyable if you can appreciate the sound collage. I can't do the long piece, The Bark and Below It, but the experiments are interesting and interwoven. You really probably won't "get" them until you've heard them quite a bit, but the album itself is enjoyable, and it is rewarding when the collage becomes cohesive after you've spent time listening to and enjoying the music.

The album flows differently than Cubist Castle, but the individual songs are stronger. Grass Canons is a haunting standout track.

Not dazzling.......2005-01-28

After reading the deluge of drool from fans of this band I cracked and bought the album . Got to admit to a certain amount of disappointment .
The 'Sleepy Company ' track towers above the other offerings here . So much that might be good gets lost in the messy overall sound . The long tune free 'experimental' sections are hardly groundbreaking and the tendency to reproduce the Beatles and Beach Boys sometimes descends into pastiche in a way that say , the brilliant Nick Nicely psych album does'nt.
I love my psychedelia and I won't stop checking out what excitable fans put in their reviews and there is a lot of effort and ideas here but c'mon guys .
'Cubist Castle' the previous OTC album would be a better choice for first time buyers.

"Black Foliage" is a harpsichord canvas.......2004-11-28

Hardly anybody does psychedelic space-rock the way the Olivia Tremor Control do -- and their second album "Black Foliage: Animation Music" is no exception. It sounds like the soundtrack to an acid party on Mars, with their elaborate tapestry of electronica, tape tinkering, and jazzy psychedelic pop. It's one of those rare albums that cannot be compared to anything else, only to itself.

It opens with.... well, "Opener," a wavery 25-second intro that slips into the sputtering Beatles-esque "A Peculiar Noise Called "Train Director" and the sweeping sweet grandeur of "Hideaway." Other songs strike different notes: "A Sleepy Company" sounds like a brass band getting drunk, while "I Have Been Floated" is a solemn little pop song with ghostly sound effects. "Another Set Of Bees In The Museum" is a fun little song that is blurred over by fuzz.

But the Olivia Tremor Control doesn't stick strictly to their own brand of psychedelic pop. They also dabble in experimental songs, such as brief interludes all called "Combinations," which appear to be tapes being messed around with -- the results are odd computerized vocals and random blips. "Black Foliage Animation 1" is a solid little tune that descends into bubbling, computerized chaos, and then gives up to the chaos completely. And the climax is "The Bark and Below It," an eleven-and-a-half-minute epic that starts on a soft little melody that is swamped by sonic thunder, only to reemerge among clangs, bells, electronic burps, a slurred keyboard melody, a xylophone, and what sounds like a heartbeat.

Listening to all of "Black Foliage: Animation Music" is a bit like a pleasant hallucination, especially if you listen to several of their odder songs in a row. But the best way to listen to it is straight through, without skipping any songs -- each one is a part of one huge sonic tapestry. The songs can be heard individally, but they lose some of their impact if heard alone.

The music is a bit of a dreamy head trip. Frontman William Cullen Hart takes charge of vocals, guitar and electronic twiddles. And he does quite well at all of them -- the guitar work he and his bandmates do is hugely entertaining and catchy. So are the brooding drums, theramin, and hints of bass, clarinet, melodica and violin. It's hard to pick out each instrument -- they blend together into a thick smokescreen of sound.

Hart's vocals are almost Beatlesesque -- he sounds a lot like Paul McCartney in some songs. And he's backed up by Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum and Julian Koster, as well as the Apples in Stereo's Robert Schneider, who add an extra dimension to Hart's singing. And the lyrics are hard to make out, but they have the psychedelic whimsy that characterized the first album: "We took a sideways glance and fell into the bottom of the season/we saw horizons and different paths away from here."

The Olivia Tremor Control were still going strong on their second album "Black Foliage: Animation Music." Denser and darker than "Dusk at Cubist Castle," this is an enchantingly otherworldly listen.

big Al at his best.......2007-06-12

Anyone who likes rockabilly should like this cd.I had looked for Mr.Jones since I first heard it in '86.A good mix of his up-tempo stuff with some of his more heartfelt material.It is easy to listen to and easy to relate with.Apretty good addition to any collection.

The Best CD.......2003-08-25

I am in my 30's and grew up listening to Al Downing as a child. I was always touched by the Mr. Jones song as a child and since I have grown up and moved on I always wanted to hear that song from time to time and could never remember who had sang it. Well, I found it finally and about broke down crying I was so happy to hear it again. This whole CD is wonderful if you like the older country and western music, back when country didn't have the pop sound it does today. I highly recommend this CD, I also got the CD for my father who got me started on country as wee little child!
