"This is it: Everything the Police released," boasts the notes in the 66-page booklet included with this box set. Obsessive fans have already written to rock magazines indignantly pointing out the omission of this or that obscurity. But everyone else will find that these four discs include all the Police they'd ever want to own. The first two discs include all of Outlandos d'Amour, Reggatta de Blanc, and Zenyatta Mondatta in their original order, interspersed with live rarities and singles B-sides. Discs 3 and 4 are more satisfying, including the band's well-crafted studio high points, Ghost in the Machine and Synchronicity, plus more outtakes and live tunes. The set ends with "Don't Stand So Close to Me '86," a dismal remake of the early favorite. By this point, the musician's egos were running rampant and they were barely speaking. If anyone wonders why the group called it quits so abruptly, this tune makes it clear that the split was smart and timely. --Jim DeRogatis

Customer Reviews:

Great for starting from scratch.......2007-07-25

We were going to the Police Concert and realized that while we had some Sting on CD, all our Police music was on Cassette Tapes! Luckily, we had a tape deck in the car we were taking to the concert, but I went to go check out getting some on CD for the next week and saw this box set - its worked out great since now we have all that great music on CD

Happy with "Message in a Box".......2007-05-28

This product is great! I love having the complete recordings of The Police in one collection. Having the B-side and the live versions of songs is very nice. I'm an even bigger fan since opening this collection!

its the police.......2007-03-28

it's good if you like the police. bad if you don't. simple enuff.

i agree, not complete.......2007-03-10

I don't own this, but from just looking and listening to what is on these CD's, I know that there are more than one version of some of these songs (like message in a bottle which sting performed solo as well, and in fact sounds better that way). I think masata tango has a slightly different version as well. Other songs (such as "Tea in Saraha"), imo, sound better when there are not live.
That being said, I suspect that some of these songs you might not be able to get on CD (maybe, maybe not - depends on the song).
A very good collection nonetheless if you are a Police fan.

All that you need.......2007-03-05

This box set is excellent. It has all five of their studio albums, b-sides, live tracks, and a few unrealeased cuts. It also has a book on their history with photos. Perfect for the fan who doesn't have ecverything.

Amazon.com essential recording

Opera is in fashion, and the woods are full of pop vocalists who think they have the chops to sing arias. The best contender so far is Andrea Bocelli, who at least has a real voice, if a small one, and sometimes manages a really exciting tenor sound. Unfortunately, he is inconsistent in his tone and production, and, despite the fact that he's singing in his native language, he often sounds as though he has only the barest idea of what the words mean. The Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Vladimir Fedoseyev, plays stodgily. Anyone with a real interest in tenor arias would be much better advised to check out recordings by the young Luciano Pavarotti. --Sarah Bryan Miller

Customer Reviews:

A Marvelous Performance of Adeste Fideles.......2006-11-13

Andrea Bocelli sings magnificently on this CD. Never have I heard Adeste Fidelis sung with such energy, joy, and understanding.

Bocelli never disappoints!.......2006-07-07

I hate to admit it but it has only been fairly recent that I "discovered" Andrea Bocelli, when he appeared on Oprah Winfrey(or was it Dr. Phil?), and American Idol. His voice mezmorized and touched me so much that I HAD to find out more. Over the last few weeks I have purchased apx. 6 of his CD's, and I can honestly say I love them all, including this one. Bocelli does not disappoint, and it doesnt seem to matter if he is singing in french, english, spanish or italian...as the purity, honesty and richness of his voice goes above and beyond various cultures and ethnicities. From a technical level, there are other well-knows (past and present) who are equal to or above Bocelli. However, what makes Andrea stand alone is a certain something that is hard to place your finger on, or put in to words, but all who appreciate him SEE and FEEL this. Some say he sings like an angel, or if God had a voice, it would sound like Bocelli. My own hypothesis is that Bocelli sings with his heart because his eyes cannot see the words. As such, along with his beautiful vocals pours forth his very spirit. It is this very essense that makes him so unique, and has caused so many people from all around the world to love him.

Worst C.D Ever...But still a great artist.......2006-06-22

Reviewed By D. J.P Vergaleto

I just had to write this review. I recently purchesed 3 Bocelli C.Ds and was rewarded with 1 Very good , 1 not bad, n this one that STINKS...IF THE REVIEWERS WERE HONEST I COULD HAVE SAVED SOME MONEY.... I buy a lot from Amazon, ITs a great site, and 99 percent of the time when i read reviews they are on the money and help me out a great deal....With that said

Let me say that this cd entices you with all the big name italian songs, BUT DONT LET IT FOOL YOU..It sounds like it was made in 1 day. Who ever mixed the album has Bocellis voice so loud it sounds like he is SCREAMING ( I THINK HE IS) AND the
orchestra sounds like it is made of 3 pieces as you can only faintly hear it. There is not 1 song on this C.D ID recommend.

But dont worry , if you like Bocelli and dont know what to buy
let me tell you that I Enjoyed (Cieli Di Toscana) The first song Melodramma Rivals Bocellis Con Te Partiro Which is on his ROMANZA C.D AND HIGHLY Recomended, Also Sogno is Another very good C.D. So save yourself money and stay away from this one.
Also his Verdi CD IS VERY well made, not as strong a voice as Caruso , but once you hear Bocelli you wont care. Great Great voice that is very Hypnotic and when you hear him you wont care if he is as good as Caruso because he is Different , totally different and there both great Tenors. Peace

the Perry Como of operatic tenors.......2006-03-25

I found this to be a wonderful cd. This was my first sustained exposure to Mr. Bocelli's art (I first heard his wonderful singing on the Charlotte Church cd "Time To Say Goodbye" -- also strongly recommended) and, on the whole, I enjoyed his singing very much. I also love Perry Como so the comparison above is not meant to be disparaging in any way, but merely to indicate that he's perhaps better in slower tempo pieces where the line of the melody naturally accentuates the richness of his voice. But if anyone doubts his chops, the first selection on this cd should put those doubts to rest -- his rendition of Puccini's "Nessun dorma" is both powerful and dramatic and stands up (dare I say it?) even to Pavarotti's.

Absolutely lovely!.......2006-02-25

Even though it was Andre Bocelli's Romanza CD that introduced me to his wonderful voice, I have to admit that I enjoy his opera offerings more than his popular works. I still enjoy Romanza and his other pop CD's, but it is his opera selections that seem to show the full beauty of his voice.

I am not an opera expert by any means, so I don't get hung up on whether or not someone is techically perfect or not. If I like it, that's good enough for me!

My teenage sons and I were in a pizza place the other day and above the noise, I heard a beautiful song- a male singer- and was shushing the boys, trying to determine who it was. With great patience, my 17 year old son said, "Mom, that's Andre Bocelli. Can't you tell?"

Enough said.

Album Description

Experience the perfect peace within and without. This exquisite music is soothing, uplifting and will illuminate your heart with joy. The final recording from legendary vocalist Singh Kaur (Fairy Nightsongs, The Crimson Series) -- This Universe is an enchanting message of love that radiates grace and serenity. The purity of Singh Kaur's ethereal voice shines through on the extended ancient chant "This Universe," a gorgeous and enchanting original version of "A Spark in the Night," and a breathtaking musical version of "The Lord's Prayer." The deeply touching beauty of Singh Kaur's voice is a rare gift and she recorded this extraordinary music as her final offering to her fans. Produced by Gary Stadler (Fairy NightSongs, Fairy Heart Magic) and featuring artfully sensitive keyboard orchestrations by Raphael (Music to Disappear Into) and special guest Lisa Lynne on Celtic harp, "This Universe" will deepen and enhance your yoga, the healing arts or meditation.

Customer Reviews:

Enchantment.......2007-04-03

This music is so exquisite it brings tears of joy to my eyes. I have never been so moved. Wonderful for meditation or just relaxed enjoyment. A singer with perfect pitch and an enormously talented composer. This beautiful music will take you into presence.

Heavenly.......2007-03-10

Singh Kaur's heavenly music is the perfect antitdote to a busy and stress-filled day. I easily come back home, to my most shining self, when I listen to her other-worldly CD.

Equisite and Filled Eternal Bliss.......2005-10-12

Just exquisite! I love Singh Kaur from her Crimson Series releases and absolutely adored her previous collaboration with Gary Stadler on "Fairy NightSongs". But this new release fills me with such joy and wonder and opens my heart in a way that I have never experienced from music before. Singh Kaur's voice is radiant and pierces my soul with it's devotional passion and tenderness. I feel blessed to have found this magnificent piece of music. Thank you, thank you, thank you Gary Stadler for bringing Singh Kaur's final musical gift to us all. Many Blessings.

All Pain And Sorrow Depart.......2005-09-14

As I've mentioned elsewhere I have a deep, visceral reaction when I hear Singh Kaur's voice. Suddenly I stop for a moment, as the wise say, my mind opens, and I remember that the problem isn't me, the problem is my reaction to the problem. This dates back to my first discovery of her series of chants done on the independent ?Invincible label with Kim Robertson on harp. This Crimson collection, her final recording, is the closest thing to healing music that I have ever heard. Unfortunately, the set has to be sought out or ordered, and many people simply have never heard what is one of the most powerful voices in new age music.

I don't know if I can put my finger on what exactly is it about her singing that does this. The Spark in the Night, the first cut on this album is a reworking of an old melody of hers. The simplicity of her voice, the purity of her tone fits right into the music. As her singing matured, her voice gained coloration, and this song works not simply as and easy melody, but it reaches the listener emotionally as well.

Most of the album (43 minutes) is spent on the title piece, this universe. Combining wit Gary Stadler, Lisa Lynne, and several others, it is meditation music perfection. While anything of this length is going to be repetitious, Singh Kaur manages to vary dynamics, rhythm and color so that even the repetition is soothing. This is no small accomplishment in a world where many people think that meditation music should be electronic choirs droning over electronic strings. Singh Kaur is never hackneyed.

Rather than drone on about Kaur's talents, I suggest that, if you are looking for the narrow path to inner quiet, you stop a moment and listen for yourself.

Kevin Costner, Robin Wright Penn, and Paul Newman star in this romantic tale about a sailor who dispatches love letters to sea in memory of his late wife. Just as the love letters are viewed as among the most touching ever written, the soundtrack is equally sentimental--16 tracks that evoke wistful days spent staring out of windows pining for lost love. Edwin McCain delivers Diane Warren's surprisingly modest "I Could Not Ask for More," a song written specifically for the movie. Sheryl Crow and Sarah McLachlan turn soft and spooky with their whispery "Carolina" and "I Love You," respectively. Sinéad Lohan and Beth Nielsen Chapman backlight their middle-of-the-road sensibilities with dance beats. Hootie & the Blowfish's "Only Lonely" is far closer to country music (Glen Campbell-style) than country artist Faith Hill's "Let Me Let Go." Gabriel Yared contributes the instrumental title track as well as two other pieces of overswelling movie music. Redefines the term mellow. --Rob O'Connor

Customer Reviews:

BEWARE ONE IMPORTANT SONG MISSING - WARNING SPOILER!.......2007-03-01

I have both of the Message in a Bottle cds. They are each filled with wonderful music. Unfortunately my absolute favorite song from the movie, "Beyond the Blue" a duet by EmmyLou Harris and Patty Griffin is NOT on either cd. Beware!

It seems I am forever tracking down an errant song. Oftentimes the song is a critical heartbeat moment of the film - as in this case. Why such an important song is missing confounds me.

If you are considering this cd because you want THAT CRITICAL SONG played during the montage showing Theresa and Garret finding their lives hopeful after years of despair and loneliness, you won't find it on either of the Message in a Bottle cds. You need to add to your cart the soundtrack for the movie, Where the Heart is. That beautiful song also played at the very end of that movie AND THOSE FOLKS had the sense to put it ON THEIR SOUNDTRACK! I have not found it on any of EmmyLou Harris' or Patty Griffin's cds. Maybe it was a licensing thing, I don't know... I don't really care. Just figured I would offer a heads up and a helpful hint!

Sappy & commercial, slick & subpar.......2002-08-19

A couple nice tunes. Overall not worth buying. You won't listen to the entire album more than twice. You won't need too, it ain't worth it.

A PERFECT 10.0.......2002-02-08

If I could give this a perfect 10 rating I would. I loved this CD with it's mixture of beautiful vocals, especially the rarely heard "Carolina" by Sheryl Crow, and instrumentals so much that I purchased the Original Motion Picture Score as soon as it became available and I'd rate that a perfect 10 as well. I never go anywhere without them.

Beautiful !!!.......2002-01-11

I happen to buy a lot of Movie Soundtracks and I can say that is one of my all time favorites. Great ensemble better than the movie, in fact I liked it so much more that once I got the soundtrack I appreciated the movie more. There are so many songs on this CD that I can't possibly list them all but I can say that if you enjoy soundtracks that make the movie you will not be dissapointed in this one. I must also mention that the some of the songs are tear jerkers so BEWARE and have your box of kleenex available. Some of the artists are also on "Anywhere but here" and "Pratical Magic"

I Truly Was Sooo Touched by this CD.......2001-12-18

It's a mixture of various artists with 'A Message In A Bottle'. It soothed my Soul to No End. I just Love the emotions one feels when listening to this Touching CD. And Being In Love, I could hardly resist The Inspiration I felt from the Depth of Such Passion. Music can be such a moving experience, something our every day life seems to take away. Emotion. I had to cry when I heard 'One More Time', 'I Love You' and 'Let Me Let Go'. I just couldn't resist the depth it took me and yet Lifted me into Inspiration. Yes All Music has an Appreciation, but this one has 'A Delight To The Senses' that is unbelievable. It's A Must Have. You Could Almost Fly...I think I did ,.) Oh soo Very Touching..buy IT.

Customer Reviews:

Good if you don't have the previous albums.......2007-05-16

I have always been a big fan of everything The Smiths or New Order do. I am a fan of Electronic, specially the first album. When I saw the song list of this collection, most of the songs are listed as remastered version or radio edit. To tell the true, it's the same or almost the same as the albums versions. If you have the 3 previous cds, then DON'T buy this. If you don't and want the basic songs of this great duo, then you should definitely buy this.

Best of Electronic.......2007-01-10

I thought this album would have more kick. Overall, I give it at most a 3 out of five.

Pretty Much Covers It.......2007-01-10

I've been a Electronic fan for a long time. This album was good, I was hoping for a new album. There are definitely some songs I would have included had I compiled it and I would have put the tracks in chronological order. A good addition to this would have been a bonus CD with outtakes and remixes.

I found the group strongest and most fun when Neal Tennant was singing with them. It is a shame the collaboartion couldn't have continued beyong the "Dissapointed" single.

when a nightmare becomes real.......2007-01-08

Nobody thought this would be possible, gather two members of two of the worst bands ever but they dared to do it. Probably the worst album ever.

Just Missed!!.......2007-01-06

I am a very big fan of New Order. As a result, I usual pick up the side projects of the members. When some bands release a greatest hits compilation, they also add variation on the biggest hits (be it an alternate version, demo or remix). "Get The Message" (the title track) is one of my all-time favorite songs out of my 20,000+ song collection. Instead of putting the album version on this compilation, they used the 7" version. I was VERY disappointed!! Overall, the album does include a nice collection of tracks that shows Electronic's range.

Confusing situation regarding CDs.......2007-03-18

The image shown on Amazon indicates on the CD cover that it is the Orignal Score from the movie. Yet, the item I received from a seller shows the same cover art (on the beach), but the actual contents and even the wording on the cover are "music from and inspired by the motion picture" which obviously is not the original score.
Not quite sure who is to blame for this mix-up. It may be simply a packaging problem. However, I do like this CD, but love more the movie score. I'll be sure to contact a seller before trying to purchase this item again to ensure it is the score and not music inspired by the movie.

Soundtrack was better than the movie.......2004-12-10

And the movie wasn't half bad, either. Gabriel Yared did an outstanding job telling the movie's tale in lyrics. Selection of the artists such as Marc Cohn, Sheryl Crow, Sinead Lohan, and Sarah McLachlan was particularly inspired. The movie is so-so. I don't own it and would not see it again, but I do revisit the soundtrack often. You'll have a much richer experience just listening to the story as the music unfolds.

Lovely................2003-09-20

If you have ever experienced being in love, thought of being in love, where your soul has been touched..this CD is for you! This CD stirs so many memories for me. It also helps me dream of a love that is to come. Yes, I know, I sound corny! I fell in love w. this CD before I've seen the movie. The samples do this CD no justice.....If you like to dream, fantasize, this CD is the one!

Inspired from Brooklyn, NY.......2001-04-10

I had never listened to musical scores, much less purchased one until a friend recommended this one. It is simply the most beautiful CD I have ever heard and it has taken a permanent place in my CD changer. I never grow tired of it and it has prompted me to buy more musical scores.

It is breathtaking!.......2000-08-18

I know Gabriel Yared's score of the Talented Mr. Ripley was nominated for an Academy Award, but I will always think it should have been Message in a Bottle. The music is beautiful, emotional, and captures the thrill and drama of sailing and the ocean. From the very first notes, the music grabs you and doesn't let go. Yared has a timeless winner here!

Bone Days CD John Trudell.......2007-02-22

This CD speaks to the heart. Fantastic, such talent. John Trudell is a true word weaver.

Spiritual food for mind , heart and soul.......2004-04-02

I discovered John Trudell with this album and I deeply fell in love with this man. When I heard these album's songs for the first time, I was definitely hooked and deeply moved. I can't help listening to this cd again and again...The music, beautiful blues, mixed with traditional Native American voice and music, and THIS VOICE, John Trudell's voice - deep, beautiful voice which send vibrations and thrills through all my being. Everyone who hear such a voice can't help being under a spell.
And then THE WORDS, such words as "My heart doesn't hurt anymore, but my soul does. Maybe that's what soules are for, to take the hurt the heart can't take." And then THE MAN behind this voice and behind these words...

I wanted to know more about this artist, and then I went back through his discography and discovered more about the man too. John Trudell speack about things which can't leave people cold.

As a woman, a mother and an human being this man touched me,deeply...mind, heart and soul. Please, listen to his voice, please listen to his "spoken words", his music. John Trudell is such an artist, such a man, such a treasure for the humanity. I wish everybody in the world could open his mind and his heart to this man's words.

PS: It's the same review bellow, but I re-wrote it because a lot of grammatical mistakes!! I am afraid everyone has noticed that English isn't my native language. But I was so eager to share my feelings about this album that I haven't noticed the wrong words I used and the mistakes I wrote. But I wasn't wrong about my feelings, and the "power"of John Trudell's voice and songs.

I can't help lessen to this cd again and again...The music, beautiful blues, mixed with traditional Native American voice and music, and THIS VOICE, John Trudell's voice -sultry, deep, beautiful voice which send fibrations and thrills all over my being. Everyone who heard such a voice can't help being under a spell.

And then THE WORDS, such words as "My heart doesn't hurt anymore, but my soul does. Maybe that's what soules are for, to take the hurt the heart can't take." And then THE MAN behind this voice and behind this words...

I wanted to know more about this artist, and then I went back through his discography and discovered more about the man too. John Trudell speak about things which can't leave people cold.

As a woman, a mother and an human being this man touched me,deeply...mind, heart and soul. Please, lessen to his voice, please lessen to his "spoken words", his music. John Trudell is such an artist, such a man, such a treasure for the humanity. I wish everybody in the world could open his mind and his heart to this man's words!

An Oasis of Sanity in an Insane World.......2002-08-15

I recently purchased this CD 'Bone Days' and what can I say? A superlative compilation of music, lyrics, spoken words and song. Highly intelligent and deeply, deeply profound. A delight to the senses. An emotional rollercoaster. Happiness, inspiration, sadness, anger, despair. As I write this review I am actually listening to this very CD!

I would like to conclude this review by expressing my gratitude and appreciation to John T, Angelina Jolie and the complete 'cast and crew' who wrote, compiled and produced this exceptionally fine and highly enjoyable album. Five hundred years plus and society, 'at large' seemingly and tragically remains very blind and extremely deaf to the Wisdom and Knowledge being shared so generously, with us, by Native individuals such as John Trudell. Yes, indeed, John "live and learn are the Seasons...."

To the Bone.......2002-04-06

Again John Trudell cuts to the bone with this new album. He has been my hero for decades and each time I hear his words they still have power to move me. I cry, I get angry and I am deeply moved by this man who has touched the gods and come back with a message for us. I think anyone can relate to the expressions he shares with us. Love, happiness, blues, anger and fleeting joy. As in the title track of Bone Days " The great search for truth, every meaning has a meaning, Dark and light have their reason, Live and learn are the seasons."
His songs of love are exquisite. Like "Takes my breath" leave me feeling. . .

Pretty Good, Check It Out.......2007-02-16

I am a big fan of Kirsty Hawkshaw, so I was thrilled to know that more of her work was readily available. I had pretty high expectations, due to me hearing some of her top-notch work, for instance, an Orbital song (Halcyon and On and On), her work from Opus III (Guru Mother), and most recently, Sleepthief's "The Dawnseeker". All were fabulous. Well, this album is pretty good, but not great. At times I really was enjoying what I was hearing, and know this album was not a waste of money. On the other hand, there were a lot of moments where I thought to myself, "there is no way this is a five star album". I thought that some of the sounds used were not conducive to the intended vibe, some of the electronica sounded a bit basic, and I wanted to hear her beautiful voice more sometimes. But maybe I am jaded and not the typical Hawkshaw fan. I recently got Sleepthief's "The Dawnseeker" (also with Kirsty performing) and that was as good as it gets. Because I had high expectations, this album was a bit of a let-down. But maybe you know exactly what you are getting and will like it more than I.

Shaken by a whisper.......2007-01-21

The hard part about being a fan of Kirsty Hawkshaw is that she's hard to keep track of. She has only one album of original music of her own (the excellent 'O.U.T. - On Ultimate Things'), but the majority of songs featuring her lovely, ethereal voice are done as collaborations with other artists, with a fairly strong emphasis on dance music and electronica. Trying to collect all of her music can get a little expensive, which is what makes 'Meta-Message' such a wonderful find -- it collects some of the best of her collaboration songs on one album.

Many of the songs I already knew and loved are here. Kirsty's own version of DJ Tiesto's 'Just Be' leads the album off perfectly. This version is called 'Just Be Me,' and showcases a steady rhythm and upbeat tone. Next is 'Fine Day,' a complete re-imagining of Opus III's dance-hall anthem from the early 1990's, 'It's a Fine Day' -- Kirsty's new version is at once familiar and fresh. Delerium's 'Nature's Kingdom' is on this CD as well, probably one of Kirsty's sexiest songs, a sensual landscape of sound and voice. Further collaborations with Tiesto, Lange, Hybrid, and others are also included, and all are excellent.

Through it all, even with all the different musicians and styles represented, Kirsty's voice provides a common thread. Sometimes strident and powerful, sometimes sweet and whisper-soft, her vocals lend just the right tone to each song. She's the reason I got this CD in the first place, because I know her voice can make a good song into something magical, and every song on this album feels that way, for one reason or another.

Two songs deserve particular notice. I had never heard either of these before, but they struck me immediately and are now among my favorites, the ones I can listen to over and over and never tire of. The first is 'Reach For Me,' an unexpected direction in the realm of pop music, with simple lyrics and a strong tone. It's a beautiful little gem of a song, a song that can make you feel good and want to reach for the one you love.

The second standout song is 'Whisper,' the final song of the album. This is the perfect way to finish out the CD, ending with a soft rhythm and sweet words: "When I feel my world falling down, I think of you, I think of you. When I feel I can breathe no more, you speak to me, you speak to me." This is a song you can just close your eyes and listen to and imagine those closest to you, and how good it feels to be with them, and how they are there even when they're not.

In music, a voice can make all the difference...Kirsty Hawkshaw is an excellent example, a voice that can create magic in the music of others. 'Meta-Message' is a near-perfect compliation of the music she has made with other musicians, and when she says "This world will be shaken by a whisper," you'll hear exactly what she means.

Amazing.......2007-01-10

I was hesitant on the money I was paying for this cd but I had heard Kirsty before and knew that she had a beautiful voice. I was amazed at the different sounds on this cd. It is definately worth the money, it has been a staple to my music diet!

Beautiful Danger.......2006-12-09

"They say learning to love yourself
Is the first step that you take
When you want to be real
Flying on planes to exotic locations
Won't teach you how you really feel
Face up to the fact
That you are who you are
And nothing can change that
I believe

Just be--
Just be"

Fine Day invites a clarity into a deep frozen sea and then melts your mind. Echoes of vocals create spacious vistas for pulsating reverberations. Her breathy "Reach for Me" takes a completely different direction and creates a similar mood to "Whisper." This presents a space to clear your head because in "Nature's Kingdom" you are again presented with stunning beauty.

In "Walking on Clouds," Kirsty Hawshaw takes off to heights I've yet to hear anyone duplicate and then dives deep into sultry depths. Her voice has an amazing range of possibility, not to mention elements of ethereal ecstasy.

She weaves her poetic lyrics within edgy driving beats to create a balance of vulnerability and strength. "All I Want" is heavy techno and yet it retains a delicate edge within a track that purrs to life. The tracks are all journeys within Kirsty's vocal playgrounds and I'm especially intrigued by the lyrics and the wild beauty of her voice.

"Your soul, it touches mine..."

Reach for me.......2006-03-11

Ever since I first heard Kirsty Hawkshaw's ethereal voice on Orbital's "Halycon/On and On" (at the time I didn't know it was her)a few years ago, I have been a great admirerer of her music or at least her songs. I think it was inevitable that Kirsty would release an album of the songs she has collaborated over the years with electronic artists like Delerium, Opus III, and Tiesto. "Meta-Message" is that album of collaborations Kirsty has released over the years. My personal favorite is the beautiful "Just Be" track. The song is beautiful both lyrically and musically. I like both this version and the trance remix by Tiesto. "Fine Day" (which is sampled on the Orbital track "Halycon/On and On") has always been one of my favorite songs by Orbital thanks to the sweet vocals of Kirsty. I rather liked the catchy pop/rock sounds of "Reach For Me". Yeah it sounds a bit generic ala Avril Lavigne but it's catchy and a bit of a departure from the first two songs that are electronic based. To be honest "Nature's Kingdom" has never been my favorite Delerium. That is the one song on the entire cd I didn't really care for. I love "Battleship Grey". It reminded me a bit of Portishead with its slow, hypnotic trip hop beats. I personally thought the flow of the cd was fine. Production was good. I look forward to hearing more from Kirsty in the very near future.

Everybody's favorite precocious sprite of a soprano comes out with her third album in Dream a Dream. It's only been two years since Charlotte Church's smash debut, Voice of an Angel, but that's a big chunk of the Welsh singer's life span so far. This latest is basically a Christmas album, so full of festive cheer you'd never guess it was recorded in the summer. Even the glummest of moods will disappear when you hear Charlotte's infectious take on chestnuts such as "Winter Wonderland" and "Little Drummer Boy" (and having the London Symphony Orchestra as your backup band doesn't hurt either). And on top of that is a really special treat: the title song (borrowing an unforgettable classical melody) which blends Church's soaring vocals with the tender voice of young country prodigy Billy Gilman. --Sarah Chin

I bought this CD after watching the music video of the same name. Their performance of "dream a dream" is exquisite. The fact that they wrote the lyrics just adds icing to an already magnificent cake!

A must-have for Christmas music lovers.......2006-12-07

this cd is pure magic...almost 20 great christmas songs on one cd sung by the voice of an angel herself..there may be a few mixed reviews by some people who must be opera voice teachers because there is nothing wrong with this cd...it is flawless....charlotte's soaring vocals, the beautiful orchestra and background singers, the whole cd has the christmas feel to it..."o come all ye faithfull" has to be heard to be believed...it is breathtaking...i love charlottes take on "winter wonderland" and "ding dong merrily on high" ..made me want to go dance in the snow or something.....she hits every note beautifully..buy this cd...i bought it back in 2000 and have listened to it at every Christmastime since or Christmas doesnt feel the same.

Gorgeous! .......2005-12-07

Charlotte Church has done it again! She is extremely talented. Even if she was 25 when she put this out, she'd be amazing. But she was only 14-15 years old when she recorded this! Beautiful. This album has great choral accompaniments and fabulous orchestra arrangements. It is a little on the high side in certain songs, but it still sounds amazing. I love her voice.
