5 out of 5 stars This CD Equals or Surpasses Her Last Effort........2007-07-30

Maysa's last CD was entitled, "Soul Classics," and has garnered critical acclaim. This new CD, "Feel the Fire," easily equals or surpasses her last effort. What stands out are the song selections and the arrangements for them. This CD has a sweet sound reminiscent of sweet soul music from the past. It also features a stellar recording as well as first rate musicians playing their butts off. As far as I'm concerned Maysa can continue with her re-makes as long as she chooses the songs and keeps these musicians. This is a first rate effort.

2 out of 5 stars Dissasitfied!!.......2007-07-20

I have been a long time FAN of MAYSA ..but.. I'm trying to understand what has happen to her. Going back as far as INCOGNITO I have enjoyed her style and voice but this CD I have much regrets. The previous CD I did enjoy but this one has made me very unhappy knowing that it could have been better since she wants to do remakes. WHERE ARE THE LIVE MUSCIANS AT????

3 out of 5 stars Maysa Deserves Live Musicians.......2007-07-15

I have been a fan of Maysa's voice for many years. Going back to her period with Incognito, I always have enjoyed the sounds produced by her vocal cords. Given the nature of this recording, I looked forward to its release for many months. I was so certain it would be a major success that I order four copies -- one for myself and the remaining ones as gifts -- well in advance of its release. Upon receipt, I listened to it several times. As forecast, I was not disappointed by the vocals. I was, however, disappointed by the synthesizer -- the only "instrument" -- that supported this superior vocalist. Like most vocalists, Maysa needs, and deserves, the support of acoustic instruments. The synthesizer left many voids. This would be a superior recording with horns, drums, bass, guitar, and an occasion string instrument. The absences rendered this an average or below average recording. Maysa has earned the right to be supported by live musicians in the studio. Further compromises of this nayture will destroy her brand. I hope she will heed this message.

2 out of 5 stars Disapointed, Maysa's KARAOKE CD.......2007-07-15

I love maysa's voice and music which had been pleased my ear for years. But this is under average of her music.
Her music on those Top 10 classic songs are only KARAOKE quality ( Record company wants Easy-money )
Not good back music-a bad arragement with cheap sound.
I don't think anybody would get impressed by her singing of "FEEL THE FIRE",After people listen Stephanie Mill's version & Teddy's or Peabo Bryson's version (original).
I want Maysa would go back what she used to do

5 out of 5 stars I love Maysa's soothing, sultry voice!.......2007-07-06

She tackles the classic songs in her own special way. This is a CD that you can put on repeat and not get tired of hearing her sing. It is so sad that she has not had the "commercial success" in the US.

4 out of 5 stars Classic early thrash set.......2006-11-05

I don't know how well the inspirational crescendos translate to today's modern, younger metal set. It certainly doesn't approach the thrash of today's standards; but this is not only valid as a history lesson, it's a good album and the best of Overkill's first four or five efforts (I don't know what they did after that). It's got great mood swings and it actually does thrash at times. And the whole damn thing is just so catchy.

Usually the "catchy" phrase is a bad thing. When I think of "catchy" and early 80s metal, I think of bands like RATT, who managed catchy hooks that seemed to make them sound heavier than they really were... and somewhere along the line, if you truly cared for the music, or at least the thrash, you realized that bands like RATT sucked. Not the case here. This album has most of the requisite early 80s metal references - violence, satan, and literally "Blood and Iron"- but they're delivered in a great package of galloping rhythms and hard-driven catchiness that still make me want to jump up and play air guitar. Or hit my real guitars until I remember that I'll never really be able to do solos like Bobby Gustafson. It still makes me want to scowl, though. In public.

And it all happened before that self-conscious period inspired by the early successes of "The Headbangers Ball." In following albums, Overkill managed to still write some good songs and get a little heavier -tho not really harder. Yet nothing that I know that they've done, not even that decent second album, compares in my mind to this one. The way I'm portraying it here, "Feel the Fire" is very similar stylistically and obviously chronologically, but in a relative sense, to "Kill `em All," although: 1) this is actually a more polished work than Kill `em All; and 2) Overkill would never approach the things that Metallica was going to do.

So, Yep, it's a different musical vehicle than Pantera, Napalm Death, Slipknot, or even Overkill's comtemporaries, like Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. But it's good, clean, early metal fun and in my mind, an early peak in a vast, metal/thrash genre.

If you've got your head set on straight and don't take yourself too seriously, but like decent music and a good time -and/or if you've got any kind of curiosity of the history behind music you might be listening to today- I highly recommend you get this unfortunately oft-overlooked disc that might just be an early masterpiece of metal. Those of you getting the CD will benefit from a cover of "Sonic Reducer" that wasn't on the original album, but you'll be missing the backward message that comes at/after the end of the last track.

If this is a vague article, I apologize, but I didn't come in to this expecting to review an album. I checked my email, had this review request from amazon and thought that if no one's written anything about this great old album, it's a sin and someone's got to. If you're curious enough to be checking it out and also reading all of this, just get it. You'll probably thank me.

5 out of 5 stars Raw, Unpolished, but Amazing.......2006-08-22

"Feel the Fire" is Overkill's debut album, and even though it was released on an independent label, it still remains one of their heaviest albums of all time. Even though much different then Horrorscope and The Years of Decay, which are much more polished, this is a raw and in your face debut from the band. The songs are pure thrash, and extremley well done. If you are a fan of the band, even their newer material, which is still solid, this is a must for your overkill collection. Sometimes debut albums can be weak or sloppy, and production usually sucks, espically in the extreme music genere, but this one is a treat. Even though there isnt much polish on this, and more crunching guitars and blast beats, the rawness is what makes this album. Bobbys vocals are so high pitched, that his range then was amazing. Even though more screaming then actually singing, like Bobby does now, its still great, and did I mention that its so damn heavy. Pick it up, you will be happy that you did

5 out of 5 stars A necessary for the quintenssential thrash fan...at least in my opinion.......2006-01-04

Overkill is one of those underrated thrash bands who never got to see the spotlight of stardom as such acts as Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and even Exodus. In my opinion, this is a good album. However, I wouldn't go as far as saying that it is one of the best. The metal they played was no different than that of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. The songs are mostly good. I would, nevertheless, recommend this album to any metalhead.

5 out of 5 stars "higher ,higher feel the fire,she burns at the stake like a witch!!".......2005-09-18

i've been wrecking my neck to over kill for i guess about 17 years now & had never heard their debut. i finaly picked it up back in march of this year & damn is it good! its my new favorite over kill.i can't say its technicaly the best of their catalog .i do think its the most entertaining. the original lineup fresh from the underground,loaded w/great songs & its remastered.a MUST for over kill freaks or headbangers for that matter.

5 out of 5 stars Pure Original.......2005-08-19

I have been listening to Over Kill for ten years and I never get tired of listening to them even though I never get tired of listening to any of my bands.
This album is pure original it just rules and it's also my favorite Over Kill album.Every song rules on the album,of course nothing beats the song Over Kill.
Sonic Reducer is a cover song, much better by Over Kill.Bobby Blitz' voice is amazing,every Over Kill fan will agree.Bobby Gustafson does an awesome job on the guitar,D.D. Verni,awesome on the bass,'Rat' Skates awesome on the drums.Buy Over Kill's first five albums.
Over Kill has some thrash in them,but mostly they are speed metal".

    1 out of 5 stars Boring.......2007-06-05

    This sounds like "Lawrence Welk" type music...not traditional country. This album is BORING and puts me to sleep!!! Don't waste your money! Try Reba's album "just a little love" it sounds way better.

    5 out of 5 stars IF I HAD TO PICK A FAVORITE REBA ALBUM THIS WOULD BE IT!.......2005-10-06

    This is my favorite Reba album of all the ones she's done. It is the one I keep going back to and listening over and over. The songs are beautiful and Ms. McEntire sings her heart out without going over!!

    5 out of 5 stars COME FEEL THE FIRE AND ALSO THE LOVE ON THIS ALBUM.......2005-10-05

    This is one of Reba's best albums of her early career. It is worth a listen!! Highly recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars GREAT STUFF!!.......2005-10-03

    This CD is just wonderful! All the songs are intelligently produced, well written and crafted. It contains Reba's first top ten "You Lift Me Up to Heaven" as well as other dandies such as "I Don't Think Love OUghta Be That Way" and "I Can See Forever in Your Eyes". This is a must for all Reba fans!

    5 out of 5 stars WHAT A FINE PIECE OF WORK!!.......2005-10-01

    Without resorting to the vocal gimmickry that has marred most of her later material, Reba offers herself completely wholesome and talented in this marvelous collection of songs. This song contains her first top ten hit "You LIft Me Up to Heaven". If you have ever heard Reba do this in concert its even better than the recording but I think it should have been a number one song. Same goes for "I Can See Forever In Your Eyes". And she does an awesome job on "Tears on My Pillow", "Look at the ONe Who's Been Lookin' at You", and "Suddenly THere's a Valley". She does Patsy Cline proud on "A Poor Man's Roses and A Rich Man's Gold". Also tasty offerings are "Long Distance Lover" and "My Turn". "I Don't Think Love Oughta Be THat Way" features a dandy dobro and one of Reba's most endearing performances. This is one of her finest and if you haven't heard early Reba, this one is as good as any to get acquainted and find out why she became a superstar of the highest magnitude.

        Album Description

        Have you ever had the experience where uncanny events just happen, as if some other force were choreographing them? If you know what I'm talking about, then you can relate to the title track "Everchanging Tides" from Kristine Robin's new release.

        Throughout the album, vivid pictures depicted through haunting harmonies take you on a journey through Robin's life. A life influenced by early teen years spent in a Scottish fishing village, the Appalachian Mountains, and then later in Native American ceremonies conducted by her adopted Arapaho dad.

        An eclectic array of musical influences, from the lush harmonies of Celtic ballads to the emotional appeals of Sarah McLaughlin, have built Robin's style of thought provoking, moody, and melodic tunes and lyrics. Although Robin exudes a magical sense of nature and spirit, it's not just about elusive concepts. It's the everyday nitty-gritty-relationship-integrity struggles we all deal with. Like an unrequited love lost in the "Winds of Time," we can yearn to go back, but in the end we must reconcile ourselves to the life we have chosen.

        Robin has skillfully blended the modern trends with her Celtic, Appalachian, and Native American influences to create a soothing but progressive sound laced with folkish overtones. "I want to help connect people to a place of reverence in their everyday lives." These words become three dimensional when you listen to the song track "A-Hay, A-Ho," which takes the stories she learned in the tipi, sets them into a lush Appalachian style tune, then wraps them up in a contemporary arrangement.

        When you set all esoteric concepts aside, Kristine Robin's album is there for you to sit back and allow the melodic chords and harmonies to lull you into another realm. Are you listening…Can you feel the Gaelic breezes, the Arapaho fire, the emotional waves as they ripple across your fingertips?

        Go ahead…try.

        5 out of 5 stars Alchemy.......2005-10-15

        Like any truly resonant work of art, this music not only evokes the experiences of the creator, but creates an alchemy in the mind of the audience, calling forth one's own dreams and memories. Many of these songs weave such strong moods that I can listen to them over and over.

        "The Quiet Lands of Erin," one of my favorite tracks, is haunting and evocative. I have a lovely version on an old LP, but I prefer Kristine's new rendition. The simple sounds of water, birds, and the laughter of children set the scene of a pristine, isolated, rocky shore imprinted deep in the memory, and a love of place as romantic as any human love. The mournful harmonies of Kristine's voice and gentle, unobtrusive instrumentals fuse perfectly with the melancholy longing of the words.

        In "One Is the Sun," the exotic drone of a didgeridoo quickly pulls you into a sort of child's rhyme/environmental prayer, combining the reassuring simplicity and soothing tunes of lullaby with all-too-observant words warning of the danger of our present path, as "two-hearted people," and a heartfelt Cheyenne prayer from Kristine's adoptive grandfather adding spiritual resonance.

        "Winds of Time," my other favorite track, for me paints a strong, poignant picture, half imagination, half memory. The subtle percussion seems to echo raindrops on the window pane or crackling fire in the room behind, pressing one's face against the cool glass pane, looking out into a dim present scene and still seeing and feeling the emotion for a love from the past. Here again, a synthesis of mood, melody, instrumentation, and the meaning of the words show a true artist at work--one whose future creations I look forward to.

        Reading some of these reviews reminds me once again of how subjective taste is, especially in the aesthetic area, and what it is I think a review should hopefully accomplish--point out the strengths and weaknesses of a work for the benefit of artist, but more particularly, for the audience. I.e., it is all very well to express one's love or hate for something, but more useful to help others figure out whether they will love or hate it.

        The dislike of reviewers who criticize this lovely CD for being what it is, rather than something else, seems rather pointless to me, but I do agree with one thing: The best way to know if you will enjoy Kristine's music is to listen to the available audio samples before buying. In fact, I rarely buy a CD anymore if audio samples are not available. On Amazon, you can get free downloads of three of the songs that are fairly representative of the different types of music on this album--an original, contemporary piece (By Your Side), a Celtic piece (Quiet Lands of Erin), and an original, Native American-themed piece (Sacred Night). However, in my opinion, Sacred Night is not the strongest such piece on the album; the lyrics are not as interesting as in other original songs. I prefer One is the Sun (see detailed comments above) and the title piece, Everchanging Tides. Samples of more of the songs are also available at the CD Baby website, including those two, as well as Seacht n'Dolas na Maighdine Muire (The Seven Sorrows of Mary), one of the traditional Celtic songs sung in Gaelic. There is also more information available at the artist's website (which I accessed directly via CD Baby), including a link to a new online video to the song One is the Sun, which I also really enjoyed.

        2 out of 5 stars Amateurish.......2005-06-30

        I was very, very disappointed in this CD. I bought it based upon the recommendations here at Amazon, but it makes me wonder....I recommend from now on to listen to a snippet before you buy. Her voice just sounded very, very amateurish to me. It sounded like so typically of somebody singing at a small town country fair. I wish her luck, but I think she will have an appeal to people looking for the same ol', same ol' small town overly trilled voice.

        5 out of 5 stars Exciting Discovery.......2005-06-07

        There's something extraordinarily exciting about finding a new talent, especially in unexpected places. I first heard Kristine's voice at a Celtic faire and thought, "I love this woman's voice. I hope she records someday." Three or four years later, my wife brought home Kristine Robin's EVERCHANGING TIDES. My first thought after hearing it for the first time was, "This is surely a voice that was shaped by angels!" It was obvious that Kristine had matured and perhaps had some great voice training since I first heard her. This was far better than I remembered. There are several places in this CD where Kristine's solos soar exquisitely, and in soaring they carry me as if on wings. I dislike that overused word "transformative," but it accurately describes what I experience. Coming from many different influences, from Native American to Celtic, this CD has a special texture all its own--which may puzzle or even confuse some purists. But when you take this CD in as a whole, it actually showcases the wide range of a singer and song writer whose talent cannot be confined to any single tradition. My wife and I have purchased over 20 copies of this CD over the past year or so, to give to friends. All I ever hear is raves from the people who've received these gifts. If you are excited by discovering new talent, I highly recommend this artist. The production itself is highly professional in every way, from the cover to the notes to the recordering quality itself.

        When I first heard this heartfelt and moving music, I was caught in it's spell. Taken as a whole I feel there is a healing quality to this debut work of art. The individual songs themselves transported me to so many different places; it reminds me of the musical lushness created by Peter Gabriel or Loreena McKennitt. (There are clips of all the songs on her website at KristineRobin.com.)

        The CD is a mix of her influences: Native American inspired (Tracks- 1, 2, 5, & 12), Celtic (her overall vocals and there are 3 traditional pieces - tracks 3, 7, & 10), Appalachian (she uses a mountain dulcimer and the last song is arranged Appalachian style), and her own contemporary writing and compositions (All the tracks but 3, 7, & 10). The songs flow through the different styles or influences very nicely.

        The CD booklet is a whole other world to explore, with images and stories to support the songs. It turns out the album is a personal look into some fascinating experiences the artist has had, which she shares with us. This is the case with the title track "Everchanging Tides." Here, the verses are actually different experiences she has had where simple events became poignant because of the amazing timing and interaction between people and the natural world. I got the chills after reading the story in the booklet and listening to it again.

        After listening to the CD a few times, the words and melodies played over again and again in my head. I found the harmonies and voices haunting and captivating. The instrumentation throughout feels just right, whether it is her Appalachian lap dulcimer creating a magical undercurrent, her penny whistle creating soaring sensations, or the viola's rich voice speaking to us. I can really see the inspiration for the sense of moodiness she creates in "The Quiet Lands of Erin," having myself spent time in Scotland near where she lived. The whole CD creates a wonderful progression which I have listened to on headphones, enjoyed as background music during a small get together of friends, and even heard played over a PA at a business expo (strange but true.)

        The overall feeling is gentle and moving. The songwriting is quite nice. The effect is a very healing one.

        Just so you know, I am one of those people who love to listen to the words. Oh, by the way, I also got the lyrics through the music page on the artists website.

        I enjoy the CD thoroughly.

        3 out of 5 stars Not the worst, not the best.......2005-03-28

        There is really good Celtic music out there. This is not one of them. There is really bad Celtic music out there. This is not one of them. Well yeah there are some really bad songs you will just skip but there are a few songs I thought were okay. Still all things considered if I were to give a suggestion it would be to try something else.

        Album Description

        With a lyrical quality of James Taylor and a contemporary sound of the Dave Mathews Band, this CD has tremendous diversity and shows the breadth of Tisdel's songwritng abilities. Brad's clear tenor voice is resonant throughout and he spans acoustic musical stylings with a taste of rock, folk,and alternative music. His music is difficult to define and clearly has its own voice. The performance, by many of the Northwest's finest musicians, is unparalleled by many new artists. The production quality is excellent, mastered at Bernie Grundman Mastering, and was produced by John Walker, the Executive producer of KINK Fm102 in Portland, Or. The music, lyrics, and writing brings a fresh, new perspective with a positive outlook and a personally empowering message.

        I love it! Heard Brad play live recently and he sang a beautiful song titled "Ain't it Great!" When will he release his next recording?

        5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2000-08-29

        Brad's CD is awesome. My kid's love it too! His compassion shows in his music. We had the privilege of watching him at camp where he generously gave of his time and soul to work with the youth, whom might not have a positive male influence at home. Everyone at camp (all ages) fell in love with his style.

        This artistic CD reflects great musicality and positive emotions that truly involve the listener. I hope that Brad does many more CDs.

        To the heart and without reservations.

        Wonder if he is related to me? I found him by searching for my own name!

        5 out of 5 stars Great lyrics, great melodies- always an excellent combo.......1999-06-16

        Brilliant songwriting! The lyrics are genuinely thoughtful and seem so personal, providing a glimpse into the life and mind of an extremely talented philosopher/songwriter. The music is crisp, clear, well-produced and reaches out to draw the listener in.
