Opera in English.......2007-03-19

Barry Banks is certainly a contender for one of the best tenors around. THis is a great example of coloratura and legato line which is very well executed in a rather booming tenor voice. I just saw Mr. Banks in "The Elixer of Love" and he was stupendous. This is a large tenor voce in the theatre which alas is difficult to capture in a studio recording...you have to take my word. THe translations are often odd as they generally are, but this recording is certainly worth having. (although I prefer in the original language)

4 1/2Stars...exciting voice and singing.......2004-12-02

Mr. Banks has a "heroic lyric tenor" if there is such a category. His fast vibrato and power lend the voice excitement and attention getting presence. I was intrigued by him in his stunning appearance in the Rimsky-Korsakov "Le'Coq d'Or" DVD (a not-to-be-missed experience)-- he was a stand-out there there and I went looking for other things by him. This CD is treasurable in many ways. The repertoire is interesting and the duets add flavor to the whole. The only small complaint I have is that perhaps Mr. Banks lacks just the last bit of emotional connection in his singing. You won't go wrong getting this excellent CD.

The Rocker.......2006-08-31

This 2 disk set is an absolute jam from start to finish. Monster riffs, driving bass and drums, passionate vocals, this is not your average doom and gloom. Tempos cover a broad range from slow sludge to very fast uptempo rock. Wino is without a doubt the most unheralded rock guitar hero/god...ever! I seriously doubt Hendrix could have filled 2 cds with the inspired, unrelenting leads Wino has created with Spirit Caravan. My only hope is that future generations discover him the way Clapton and Page found the blues master of yester-year. If you like loud, uncomprimising hard rock that gots soul, you must buy this.

some truly great work from Wino's 2nd greatest band.......2006-04-21

this release is a compilation that collects songs from the Spirit Caravan's 2 full length albums, their first and last 7" singles, and a couple unreleased tracks. the digital remastering sounds great - lots of clarity and a slight boost in the levels. this 2-CD set in my opinion is proof that Wino is truly one of the greatest post-Hendrix rock guitarists alive today. Spirit Caravan may not ever achieve the cult status of Saint Vitus or Obsessed, but Wino's level of heart and soul in his playing with S.C. is certainly matched with anything else he's ever done in his career, past or future.

A Near Flawless Chronicle of Greatness.......2004-02-19

Wino and all of his musical endeavors, in a short period of time and space, have planted their seeds in my brain and gains more shelf space in my psyche every day. It is safe to assume that my interest level in Spirit Caravan has blossomed into nearly a full blown obsession. Spirit Caravan rises to the top of the "stoner rock" mountain with a mighty grasp on how rock music; in general, is supposed to be played. It is catostrophic to me that Spirit Caravan never achieved the amount of success that lesser bands have been handed for much less effort.

Sans the "Dreamwheel" ep, I do believe that the whole catalog is present and accounted for. Disc 1 features a handful of scattered ep and compilation tracks before careening headfirst into the amazing "Jug Fulla Sun" LP. Disc 2 contains some unreleased tracks followed by the equally praise-worthy "Elusive Truth" LP and most of these songs have gone largely ignored outside of the Caravan's core fanbase.

Heavy, yet well crafted riffs round out the whole of the songs contained therein. The aspect of Spirit Caravan that makes them so unique is their total professional approach to writing music. A good amount of stoner rock bands go for the jugular with unabashed heaviness and Spirit Caravan takes their style ten steps further by incorporating melody, tone, random tempo changes and an all encompassing feeling of despair without falling into the trap that many of rock's elite dive head first into.

If you missed the boat the first time, here's your chance to board the cruise ship. Meteor City gets all the goat horns in their favor for making this collection of superb heavy music available to those who either cannot find Spirit Caravan's individual releases or want to have the lion's share of SC music in one convenient package. Your metal/rock/punk/stoner library is naked without Spirit Caravan to give it some refinement.

"Let Your 3rd Eye Glow...........2004-02-17

....and be your guide up"
Truly amazing offering of damn near everything they did...great place to start if you're just "tuning in".
How I wish they would've included a live version of Black Sabbath's "Wicked World" that they covered along w/Eric Burdon's "Inside Looking Out"(available on The Obsessed "Incarnate") As someone else mentioned, none of the material from the "Dreamwheel" 10" is here, but it's still in print on vinyl/cd.

I saw these guys a few times & they play w/absolute conviction.
Live or recorded, you're in for a cosmic riff blast of the REAL THING. If you're a long time fan, then you no doubt have your fave picks from any of the bands Wino's been in, but the SC material is just brimming w/spiritual heavy goodness which shines, shudders and brings forth message of spirit in spiritually bankrupt times.
For many people, Wino embodies those elusive elements & reasons behind why or just what it was that turned you onto that Sabbathy sound/feel all those yrs ago, ya know ~ it resonates like a tolling bell in the music & lyrics, and ya either get it or ya don't. For those who do, this stuff is of the highest strain indeed...

It's good to hear alternate recordings of some of these tunes...the early version of "Courage" is stunning.
Plus you get the last 5 tunes they recorded, which they were playing on their last tour..."Dove-Tongued Aggressor" "The Last Embrace" & the frighteningly prophetic "Brainwashed"..("one more fool, divide & rule, a brainwashed populace")..plus the 2 tunes that are on the white vinyl 7" "So Mortal Be" & "Undone Mind".

This is HEAVY guitar rock, heavy 3 piece doom rock at it's best.
You can bet that Wino was born w/an old, wise soul; his music IS that pure & rarist of things, HONESTY...honesty just is & doesn't have to try to BE that thing, understand? It just is.
Wino is the living incarnation of that industrial Black Sabbath grade of lurching, heavy-as-hell riff rock..something that many people never really "got" or new about or had all but forgotten.
What you have here is the pure DNA strain that takes you to a higher place as Wino & Co. blow you back-flat against the wall of the bar!

As someone who grew up in the 80's playing Vitus albums, it's difficult to convey the sense of integrity inherent in this music to someone who may not be equipped to discern the difference, but for those who care, it's like trying to explain the creative difference's and intent between a John Cassavetes movie & a typical Hollywood movie..you're either drawn to it or remain foolishly indifferent.
Remember that John C. line about people in this culture being dead or emotionally dead by the time they're 21, & that he saw it as his job as an artist to help people go beyond that point? Many artists & people could & should be thanked for their contributions to humanity...LIFE..Wino is one of those.

Now go check out Hidden Hand!

Mike Byers.......2004-02-10

Excellent Spirit Caravan compilation but not really complete as it is missing the 'Dreamwheel' EP. Still, well worth having for Doom/Stoner fans.

Beautiful, mesmirizing and haunting,.......2006-12-18

If you loved pre-spiritchaser Dead Can Dance and are searching for something truly profound, Arcane are for you. Incredibly powerful, emotive and dark yet still in a strange way uplifting. This album is a classic Arcana album, full of majesty and melody, brooding and vampiric. An incredible talent that is essential listening for all that feel a connection to the darker side of existence. Very highly recommended!

i wish amazon had more of their releases.......2006-07-25

This is a beautiful cd by a band that not many people know about. There are many comparisons to be made to Dead Can Dance, but I think Arcana has a unique sound that distinguishes them from DCD.

If you like their music you can also check out their website (www.erebusodora.net) and hear songs off their newsest cd - Le Serpent Rouge (which is truly amazing!)
