Channeling the evocative storytelling of Laura Nyro and the soulful sexiness of Dusty Springfield, singer/songwriter Jenny Lewis skips all contemporary studio gimmickry to proffer a near-perfect solo debut. The front-woman for indie darlings Rilo Kiley breaks away from the songwriting democracy she shares with that band's co-leader Blake Sennett (also of the Elected), drawing inspiration from the crackling vinyl albums of her youth. And from the opening notes of "Run Devil Run," an acapella gospel hymn sung with the Watson Twins, through the note-for-note cover of the Traveling Wilbury's "Handle With Care" (with Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard), Lewis verifies this is her record. Her goose-bump voice can be as mournful as it is optimistic, but remains perpetually mesmerizing on Rabbit Fur Coat's best songs: the god-fearing country-rocker "The Charging Sky," the radio-poppy "You Are What You Love" and, especially, the title track, a haunting, solo-guitar waltz of poor meets rich. --Scott Holter

Album Description

Known and loved by many as the enchanting front-woman for LA's Rilo Kiley, Jenny's vocal and songwriting gifts have continued to blossom at a rapid rate since that band's first album in 2000. Jenny's hauntingly soulful voice, sometimes bursting with buoyant spirit and at other times plaintive and world wearied, is deep, sensual and beguiling. Intricate storytelling and evocative lyrics infuse these songs with a captivating vibrancy but may be knocked sideways by the musical alchemy at play as a result of folk, country, and Southern gospel influences.

Close your eyes and think of her.......2007-03-16

This album reminds me of that fresh breath of artistic creativity Mary Chapin Carpenter brought to the music world those some years ago. And the Watson Twins - what beauties and with such great vocals. Like all music, the beauty is in the ear of the beholder (so to speak), and I really like this album. Especially the harmonizing provided by (I believe) the Watson Twins. Did I tell you they were beautiful? And have beautiful voices?

This CD provides some interesting stories set to unique music and vocalizations. With harmonizing provided by the Watson Twins. I close my eyes and think of them both. All three. I like it.

One of the best americana albums of 2006!.......2007-03-02

Great album altogether. Honestly, her version of "Handle me with care" blows away the original, even though it does contain vocals from that over-rated emo whiner, Ben Gibbard. At least Jenny's voice is better than Tom Petty's!

One of the Best Albums of 2006.......2007-02-18

I really like Rilo Kiley so I was interested to listen to this Jenny Lewis solo effort. But being a fan of Rilo Kiley definitely won't guarantee that you'll enjoy this album.

It's a lot more twangy and folksy than Rilo Kiley which appeals more to the college radio crowd but I must admit that I play this record more often than "More Adventurous" which is an album I adore; "Rabbit Fur Coat" just strikes me as being more original and better realized.

Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins have managed to record one of the most memorable albums of 2006. I'm not alone in this assessment. NPR did a list of the best albums of '06 and this, not surprisingly, was on it.

Better as a solo artist?.......2007-02-12

Rilo Kiley is a great band, there's no doubt. But Jenny Lewis has done something with this solo project that, to my estimation, is in a different league. It's folksy, it's catchy... the songs just get stuck in your head. Her voice is the best feature of Rilo Kiley anyway, but it seems that with this project, she's really bloomed. She seems almost weepy on songs like "Happy" and "Melt Your Heart," but the strength of great stuff like "The Big Guns" and "You Are What you Love" that will keep you coming back for more. A good balance across the board, not too much of any one thing.

I expected soooo much more.......2007-01-21

not good, Im sorry, Im a big big rilo kiley fan, and this cannot hold a candle to any release. Shes trying something new, and its not good. My opinion? no....

Album Description

Rabbit In The Moon have established an enormous fan base with the release of their 12-inch singles, remix work, and exploration in live performance. With their world renowned remixes for Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode, Sarah McLachlan, Garbage, and countless others, it's no wonder they have the world eagerly awaiting the release of their first full-length CD/DVD. Their style of electronic music is timeless, but to truly understand this group is to see and hear them live. This 80+ minute DVD takes you behind the scenes and in front of thousands of screaming fans at one of their live festival performances, shot in Hi-Def with a 5.1 Surround Sound mix.

Customer Reviews:

Rabbit Dance.......2007-08-02

Amazing, creative work. A monumental treat for the eyes and ears...I was introduced to Decade via a friend on a jet and am completely hooked. Thought I had seen and heard it all before, but Rabbit opens new doors. Worth twice the price.

Excellent for the casual listener.......2007-07-29

According to all other reviews by hardcore fans, everyone seems to be dissapointed that this is all material they have heard before. So what about the casual Rabbit in the Moon fan, who hasn't heard many of these songs? I enjoyed the Floorida remix album as well as some other remixes RITM has done, but have yet to attend a live show of theirs. Therefore, coming into this album without any pretenses, I am pleased to say it is just what I was hoping for. Dark and deep, juicy with their signature tech/electro sound. This album really doesn't leave anything to be desired, especially with the vocals by Bunny. I think for the casual listener who hasn't heard all of these songs, this album will be a better experience. Still, even for those who have heard and seen it already, isn't it great to finally have all of the original material all on one remastered disc, plus an amazing DVD?

Long Awaited, and a Fantastic DVD.......2007-07-16

As a DJ, I have had access to Rabbit in the Moon material over the past 10 years, as it was released single-by-single. Like many of their fans, I was hooked on Dave Christophere's audio wizardry with the haunting and evolving O.O.B.E. - (mistakenly labeled "Outer" Body Experience on the liner notes - though not a surprising tactic for a new remix.). Several of the track on this new album have been previously released as singles, and/or have been included in their live performances. Though some may find this a bit anticlimactic, it should be noted that everything has been remastered to a degree that it actually does seem new and fresh.

As others have noted, RITM is best experienced as a live act. The music is brought to life through the larger-than-life, kabuki theater-like performance and vocalizations of Bunny (Steve Eachon). Perhaps RITM are destined to become the Grateful Dead of modern Techno, as every show is different, and devoted fans follow their shows, and see them again and again, noting the slight changes to the mixes and song selections, and the ever evolving and exciting Bunny Experience.

With that in mind, it is only natural that they would include a DVD that included some of their live material, along with new and creative original video along with the CD.

The quality of the video and audio on this package is flawless and very entertaining for old and new Rabbit fans. One can only hope that they gather momentum from this release to tour heavily, and release another album of completely new material within the next 18 months. The newer material also has more vocals by Bunny, which I find to be an excellent trend which they should continue to develop in their music and live shows.

A great release from a the legendary RITM!.......2007-07-13

I think this is a *fanstatic* release, mostly because of the DVD content, but I like the CD a lot as well. Being the fan that I am, I couldn't give this any less than 5 stars for that DVD content being what it is. Yes, there is some dated stuff on the album, but it is called "Decade", and the song "Deeper" alone justifies that title. I see some of the other reviewers who are fans, but giving it low-star reviews, that's really too bad. It may be because they were expecting a full new CD of all new material, and didn't get that. Still, I see that those of us who "know the deal", so to speak, know that the essence of Rabbit In The Moon is the live show, I think the DVD content gives a pretty close approximation to what it's actually like to see them live. But tell me, who, of the RITM fans among us, especially those who have seen them live in the least year, didn't FLIP out when they were listening to the "Decade" CD and heard the phrase "Look into the eye!" for the first time, on track 8.. with memories flooding in of Bunny with his TV-on-a-stick?? I know I did. And that song is followed by the AMAZING rendition of David Bowie's "Let's Dance", followed by Deeper (which is admittedly old
but is a classic and couldn't be excluded) but then there's a brand new mix of O.B.E. that, correct me if I'm wrong, has never been released before. (And I own the original Phases O.B.E. 12" record). I love the new mix of that song, and I think it's a great album, even though every single song doesn't thrill me. But even with this CD, some of the older RITM songs that I never really liked much before, like Dubbasex for example, listened carefully and given them another chance, and found they are actually very subtle and beautiful songs.

There is more newer material on the album than some reviewers let on, in fact well over half of it is new. There are a few ommissions, IMO, for example I would have liked to see "Electro Accupuncture" on this CD, but then again that has been released before on a CD, still I think it would have fit in well here though as well. I love the DVD the most, because it reminds me why I've been such a huge fan for so many years, with probably about 7 shows under my belt. To all the fans out there, buy this album! Show your support! Remember the old Zen Festial 96-97 shows, with Bunny, in his disco-ball suit, being lowered by a cable from the ceiling! remember how you felt at those times. They have earned our suport! To those folks new to the electronica genre, this is a good glimpse into understanding the engima that is Rabbit in the Moon... RITM so much more than can possible be described in one album, album review, DVD, magazine article, or antyhing else. There's a whole history and culture behind these guys'one-of-a-kind stlye of performance art, and I think this release captures the essence of it almost as best you could with the amount of material provided. Buy it for the DVD, but then take the audio CD, put in in your car stereo, put on track 8, and crank it up!

Great yet lacking.......2007-07-12

So, if your a rabbit head like me, you've probably heard most of these tracks at their shows. So why is this CD a great purchase? Quite simply because you are a rabbit head and they need our support. If you're new to Rabbit in the Moon then you need to hear what the music is about. The really cool feature is that in the DVD each suit comes with an explanation which will help new listeners/show goers to understand the meaning of the show as a whole and the suits individually. Are there tracks missing? Absolutely. The now famous jungle track used for the dragon slaying sequence is missing, so is the old light suit track which is a favorite amongst show goers. However, the single most significant fact about this release is the release it self. If this goes good, we will see a new Rabbit in the Moon CD sometime soon. Remember, this is their first attempt at this, so lets support them. After all, they have been connecting to us for over a decade, the least we can do is buy the CD.

Album Description

“chasing the ghost” is haunting and captivating, with an essence that cuts to the core. Its hypnotic lull of orchestrated sounds and heartfelt emotion reveal a journey reaching deep into the psyche that will grab you and not let go. Recognized as innovators in sound, Collide prefer to cut their own path. This album, although decidedly different from their previous CDs, once again treads on new ground, combining new elements into a powerful whole.

Customer Reviews:

I am impressed........2007-07-04

Rarely in the darkwave genre do I find anybody that I consider to be interresting, however this time around, I'm satisfied. Collide is a collition of trip hop and goth that sounds like a terrible idea, but actually works out quite well. Collide will trip you out big time!

OKAY BUT NOT STELLAR.......2007-05-18

I like songs 1, 2, 7 and the band's dance remake of White Rabbit. kaRin's voice is hauntingly similar to Kate Bush; although real heavy on the Vo-Coder. Some of the songs, instead of being entrancing tend to drone on and none of the tracks pop out as a really strong single. However, I am not sorry I bought the cd and would recommend it to others because it's easy on the ears (very melodic).

Music for the Witching Hour.......2007-04-13

This album is so darkly ethereal and richly textured that I yearn for the poet's ability to paint a vivid word picture of its seductive sound. Sadly, I am not the world reknown poet any review of this album demands, but simply your average music lover, and after musing over it so long my brain cramps, the best I can come up with is something like. "Hey, what do you get when you cross a goth chick with a computer geek?" So you will just have to use your imagination.

Imagine the perfect song for a lovesick vampire. Imagine what moonlight peeking through gathering stormclouds sounds like. Imagine a Hammer horror movie with a Moby soundtrack. Imagine the distant music that haunts the dreams of some half-mad hero from an H.P. Lovecraft story. Imagine the perfect CD for your date with that fair-skinned lovely with the black lipstick and fingernail polish.
Imagine closing your eyes and feeling the sound sweep over you, setting you hair on end and your soul on fire.

Then stop imagining it and order this CD. Wait for a dark and stormy night and slip it in. Set your imagination free on midnite wings...

Chasing the Ghost : one of Collide's best!.......2007-04-13

I highly recommend this Cd to anyone who loves to be swept away in imagination. I find all of Collide's music highly moving and inspiring, and Chasing the Ghost is one that truly grabs you and carries you away. I can't say enough about this cd really.. but it's definitely one of my all-time favorite cds. Dark and alluring.... perfection!

Mesmerizingly Hard!!.......2007-04-12

This album is definitely a haunting series of songs!! The bands ability to add that certain haunting nature to Karin's voice is, in my experience, rare!! Defintely a must have for your hard core gothic/industrial/electronica collection!!!

Album Description

HEM's debut album Rabbit Songs now available again through Rounder Records.

HEM has drawn comparisons to artists as disparate as Nick Drake, Mazzy Star, Sandy Denny and Jeff Buckley and drawn fans as varied as The Chemical Brothers, Glenn Tilbrook, Linda Thompson, James Iha and Beth Orton. The music is lush and filled with eclectic harmonies: a mandolin enveloped by an 18-piece orchestra, a pedal steel accentuated by a glockenspiel, underpinned by guitar and piano in an elaborate framework. And through it all, Sally Ellyson's beautiful voice shaping each word. ASCAP award-winning songwriter and Rabbit Songs Co-Producer, Dan Messé sold off most of his personal possessions so he could afford the orchestras, and the luxury of being as painstaking as they wanted over the arrangements of each song. No samples, no synths, no Pro-Tools mixing and no digital studio wizardry were employed. Rabbit Songs is an old school album, recorded the old school way. Guitarist / Co-Producer Gary Maurer, a seasoned studio engineer, has engineered and / or produced a host of artists and bands including Jon Spencer, Luna and Fountains Of Wayne. "Sally Ellyson has one of those voices - an understated powerhouse that wows with serene confidence. The result is a rich debut that shouldn't be overlooked" - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

Truly wonderful.......2007-05-20

I heard this music as background for an insurance commercial about good deeds leading to other good deeds. Little did they know that using that music led to the good deed of introducing me to this truly wonderful band.

Amazing - true musical tallent beyond belief.......2006-11-30

My father introduced me to rabbit songs when it first came out. He was truely a music man and would give me tips on unusual and fantastic talent. My father past on a few years back and some family members and I saw HEM in concert in NY. We had e-mailed the HEM web site and requested they play "Leave me here" in his honor at that concert and they did - the most wonderful performance I have ever seen. No music will ever move me to tears and emotion like HEM and I am so grateful to have been lucky enough to see them live. Thank you HEM. You are truely amazing musicians.

Great songs, great singer.......2006-11-05

This is an amazing CD. I love all the songs and that is quite unusual. I never heard of the band before the song Half Acre was used in that commercial. They have a fresh, very well put together sound. The cd is professional without feeling over produced.

Wonderful!.......2006-09-17

I have owned this CD by Hem for over a year. I purchased it based on the original review in Entertainment Weekly magazine. I listened to it nearly every day for almost 6 months. It is still in heavy rotation in my CD player and I have recommended it to numerous friends. I find the music soothing and calming. I was surprised and pleased to hear Hem's music as part of the recent Liberty Mutual ad campaign. If people are attracted to the music through the ad, great! The same thing happened to Iron and Wine with their M & M ad. I hope you enjoy this CD as much as I have.

Pure Americana Musical Bliss.......2006-07-29

Hem composes and plays some of the most honest and gorgeous music ever committed to recording material today. This antiquated (and I mean that in a very nice way) collection of heartfelt and emotional songs seems to harken back to a nice and simple time when America was bathed in a pastoral haze of sunshine and simplicity. To achieve their unique and homespun organic sound, Hem utilizes acoustic and electric instrumentation that takes the listener to a place where one can truly escape the everyday hectic drudgery of the rat race and chill out. In this ho hum world of musical dreck, I highly recommend listening to Hem! See them live if you can. Excellent musicianship!

Customer Reviews:

WHAT ROCK AND ROLL SHOULD BE.......2007-07-24

I ALWAYS LOVE TO FIND A REAL ROCK AND ROLL BAND, THAT IS NOT PRETENTIOUS, PLAYS GREAT ROCK, AND MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD WHEN YOU HEAR THEIR MUSIC. THIS CD FROM THE DETROIT COBRAS IS ALL OF THAT. RACHEL NAGY, THE LEAD SINGER, RACHEL NAGY, HAS LIMITED RANGE (SHE SOUNDS A LOT LIKE CHRISSIE HYNDE FROM THE PRETENDERS), BUT SHE CAN CARRY A TUNE AND THE MUSIC BEHIND HER FLOWS NICELY, THE BAND IS PRETTY TIGHT. IN FACT, AT TIMES YOU WILL THINK THAT YOU ARE LISTENING TO A PRETENDERS CD (WHICH IS MORE THAN OKAY). THE SONGS "HITTIN' ON NOTHING", AND "BREAKAWAY" ARE NOTE FOR NOTE REPLICAS OF THE ORIGINALS BY IRMA THOMAS (WHICH IS ALSO MORE THAN OKAY). BUT THE WHOLE PRODUCTION HAS A GREAT RECORDING QUALITY, WHICH IS SURPRISING, BECAUSE EVERY OTHER CD I HAVE FROM THIS LABEL (IT IS CALLED "SYMPATHY FOR THE RECORD INDUSTRY") HAS PRETTY BAD SOUND QUALITY (DEVIL DOGS CDS AND OBLIVIANS). BUT A TOTALLY ENJOYABLE CD. YOU WILL LIKE IT AND IT WILL GET YOU MOVIN'.

Detroit Sound.......2007-06-22

This group, although not widely known, plays some of the best blues based rock going on anywhere. This is the better of all their albums thus far and is highly recommended. It stayed in my active play rotation for quite some time.

Top Notch Performers.......2007-06-12

If you are into the Kustom Kulture then this garage band is a must for your next party! No gear head should be with out it!

A desert island disc if there ever was one.......2007-02-19

The Detroit Cobras are the garage band of your dreams. Lock up your young and most impressionable little rock 'n' roll fans, and play this for 'em at full volume. They'll be screaming for more. Book-ended by the booty-shakin' opening of "Cha Cha Twist" and the most rollicking, unrelenting cover of Jackie DeShannon and Irma Thomas' "Breakaway" that you'll ever hear, there's nary a lull and by the time "Midnight Blues" rolls around, all will be right in the world and you'll be loving life again. The grinding, roughhouse guitar is totally primal - imagine the love child of Keith Richards and Link Wray - and Rachel Nagy's smoky snarl will make you think very unangelic thoughts. An American classic, already.

Great movie, better soundtrack.......2007-05-19

I just recently saw this movie and the only thing I could think about afterwards was that I had to get this soundtrack. I'm not usually a big fan of movie soundtracks, but this cd is unlike any other out there, soundtrack or not. The use of strings and carnaval type instruments is completely unique and makes this a must by for any fan of music.

great collection of unusual music.......2007-05-07

Rented the movie on reccomendation from Netflix, it was pretty good. But the music was the star of the show. The soundtrack follows the course of the movie pretty closely, it's kind of like listening to the movie. Each track brings to mind a specific scene in the movie. One of the highlights is the ecclectic treatment of Burt Bacharach's "Close to You". Most will remember the super-sweet Carpenter's version, but this interpretation was the main reason I bought the music. Unusual augmented chord progressions and almost minimalist format (complete with the mechanical background sounds made by the female jack-in-the-box-like, life-sized, mostly metal toy dressers) make the tune as captivating as in the movie when they 'convert' the trapped Helena into the black princess. Great music to play while relaxing, too.

Supurb.......2007-03-08

This soundtrack is truly a delight to listen to. It ranges from quirky circus music to deep and melodic mysterious tunes. It is a great CD to relax to and to use as background music for most any relaxing time hanging out with friends.

Amazing!.......2007-02-24

This is a very good soundtrack to a very good movie. The music is amazingly composed and is nice to listen to.

excellent.......2007-01-17

This CD is excellent! All the music from the movie in its entirety, all the songs are complete songs, and the songs are all top notch compositions.

thank goodness for amazon.......2007-01-18

I've come to Amazon late in life, after a lifetime of shopping only in stores. I still own a LOT of jazz, blues, classical, in vinyl but because of space over time sought cd replacements. Thank you for White Rabbit, when George Benson hadn't yet crossed over.

Imagine my pleasure the sound is the same; and so is the jacket.

Strange cover..beautiful sounds........2006-08-26

George Benson himself recently said in an interview just how he hated the cover. Being a devoutly religious man himself he didn't like the inference made of a black man (who many wrongfully mistook for George himself) with his face covered in heroin.("White Rabbit" being another slang for the substance). Being a fairly innocent chap he just liked the tune and decided to cover it completely ignorant of the deeper significances . I can fully sympathise with his view because the pic gives me the creeps!!
However.. the music, thankfully , is gorgeous.The overall theme on this album is strongly Latin. Everywhere from the opening flamenco tinged intro to the title tune, wonderfully added by the phenomenal Earl Klugh, right to "Little Train of Capira" the laid back,Spanish tones can be heard.
It reminds me of a guitar version of one of Miles Davis's more commercial Spanish influenced albums ("Siesta" for example).
George's version of Michel Legrands "Summer of '42" was the main reason i bought this album in 1975. Benson puts so much feeling & empathy into the romantic phrases that once again the listener is bathed in a warm glow. George's guitar literally speaks to you. Very few guitarists have this talent. Wes Montgomery had it.
Hats off to Earl Klugh on this whole project. His acoustic guitar sets the scene even further. The album would never have had the same effect without his presence.

Brilliant !.......2005-07-14

After 30+ years this album/CD still sounds as great as it did the first time that I heard it. The rhythm section combined with Don Sebesky's skills sets a magical backdrop for Benson's brilliant dexterity on the fretboard !

One of the best all time.......2003-02-23

I bought this on vinyl in 1976 and it's still one of my favorite all time albums. The recording is incredibly clean, the songs are great, and the playing is fantastic.

Benson's Best!.......2002-04-30

I would rate California Dreamin and White Rabbit as good as any
jazz songs i've ever heard. year after year they still ring true.with herbie hancock, earl clugh, airto, hubert laws and billy cobbam on board for this recording you can't miss.

Couple of things.......2007-06-22

I actually don't have this CD - but have all of their studio albums and most of their live recordings. Just wanted to note in response to other reviewers that 1) "Volunteers" was anything but "patriotic" - Marty Balin wrote it while sitting in a window of their house at 2400 Fulton St. next to Golden Gate Park and watching all the hippies doing drugs and partying in the street below - in fact the band was sued when it tried to call that album "Volunteers of America" by the (presumably patriotic) organization of the same name; 2) LOVE the "White Rabbit" deconstruction; and 3) yes, yes, try to get 2400 Fulton (tho I think it's out of print?) or JA Loves You. or for starters on the studio albums, of which there were precious few, start with "Surrealistic Pillow" (that's got "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love" on it, too - just a great snapshot of the "electric folk" aspect of their music, which is where they started).

This is fantastic plastic, lover.......2002-08-22

If one has unlimited resources or is stuck in the past then you will want to purchase the CD equivalent of the vinyl albums. This album however will suffice as a good overview.
Be prepared as you start listening. For those who have lived through the era you are about to experience a flash back. If you have not been through the era then you are about to discover what you have missed.
With "It's No Secret" to start us off you will realize that nothing was lost in the transfer to CD. "Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit" is what you probably bought the album for and they will make you sit back with their power and mystery being transferred to a different world.
After listening to the other songs "Crown of Creation" sounds like it was recorded inside a tin can. It sort of shakes you awake after the others. Too bad as that is one of their majors. Then we come to "Plastic Fantastic Lover"; it does not contain the resonance of "White Rabbit". However you do not notice and will remember the words as it comes back to you.
After listening to this collection I have the feeling that you will come up with those unlimited resources.

Good compilation of tracks.......2002-08-05

I will admit I know very little about Jefferson Airplane
in general, so I bought this as an brief introduction to
the band.
Somebody To Love and White Rabbit are probably the most
familiar songs to people who aren't fans of the band. The
entire compilation runs a little over 20 minutes, so it is
fairly short in duration.
The tracks are great though, and reminscent of the 1960s
pop culture back then. Embryonic Journey is a nice
instrumental on acoustic guitar that fills a bridge between
the psychedelic White Rabbit and Crown of Creation.
Volunteers is a song with a message and a bit patriotic,
and it's about helping your fellow person. It's symbolic
of the times it was written in, and a nice ending to the
compilation. Of course, since this album contains only
8 tracks, you would probably want to get a more
comprehensive album or albums if you like what's found
here. All the songs listed here are quite good, but I
don't know if it warrants a five star rating as
outstanding or indispensable, because for a compilation
album, the number of tracks and total time of the album
is pretty low, so I had to deduct a star for that reason.

Try another one.......2001-06-20

The Jefferson Airplane's recordings are curiously overlooked today; the sound (and some of the lyrical concerns) may seem a bit dated, but the tension between Marty Balin's romantic love songs, Grace Slick's upfront weirdness, Paul Kantner's counter-culture anthems and the incredible musicianship of Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Cassady and Spencer Dryden made for some wonderfully vibrant, creative music. This, however, is not the place to learn your JA. The running time is extremely short and there's only eight songs on offer; even at the price it's not great value. Try finding the Fulton Avenue compilation, or at a pinch The Worst Of Jefferson Airplane (although that one misses quite a few essential items). If you'd rather jump straight in, try to find the box set JA Loves You. All of these are a better introduction to the Airplane's music. I'd give the music five stars and the compilation one; so I've given the package three stars.

A Must-Hear for any serious rock afficionado.......1999-10-22

The Jefferson Airplane was one of the premier bands in the Golden Age of Rock, and this album contains some of their finest work: classic rock in its purest incarnation, yet always with their own distinctive style. And it incorporates one of the greatest songs in rock history, "White Rabbit". The song is noteworthy not only for the often-commented on psychedelic aspects, and its use of imagery from Lewis Carroll's "Alice" books, but for the less noted fact that its Bolero-like rising intensity is coupled with a disintegration of rationality and a sense of panic and loss of control: the song becomes, really, nightmarish, and the insistent quote from The Dormouse during the Mad Hatter's tea party, "Feed your head... feed your head..." becomes a mantra that is also a prison. This feeling of losing control and madness is lost on the more callow fans of the song, but is central to understanding it. In any fashion, this CD will become a foundation of your rock collection.

Just bought it, now I'm throwing it away...........2007-01-10

I am a big admirer, after first buying Seven Swans (still my favorite), then Illinoise and Avalanche. I wanted to fill up the collection so I got this along with Michigan and a Sun Came... This is such a waste of money if you're looking for his usual brilliant compositions, melodies, and voice. Simply NOT enjoyable.

Not what I expected from such a great artist.......2007-01-09

I purchased this album, having already owned his "Illinois" and "Michigan" albums. My expectations were not met in the slightest. While Sufjan Stevens is hit or miss within his good albums (he experiments, and I dont like some of those experiments), I felt like writing NFG on this CD after I listened to it. [NFG is an engineering term for No F###ing Good] It is an abstract piece of music, no melody, no harmony, no beauty, no meaningful lyrics. Nothing worth listening to, in my opinion. I was heartily disappointed in an artist I am usually praising. Know what you are getting into with this one.

Self-Indulgent Junk.......2007-01-04

This is not the brilliant Sufjan Stevens you know and love from "Illinois" and "Seven Swans." Rather, this is an instrumental hodge-podge of noises, sometimes catchy, often discordant. Save your money and buy one of his other albums.

Freakin' Brilliant!!!.......2006-08-23

Just bought this album after thoroughly enjoying Sufjan's Brian Wilson -like Illinios album. This album could not be more different!
Enjoy Your Rabbit sounds like Aphex Twin attempting to perform Tubular Bells. Perhaps a meeting of Brian Wilson, Mike Oldfield, Philip Glass and Aphex Twin. OUTSTANDING!!! If I could make an album this phenominal I could die a happy man. I was completely blown away by all of the minute detail that he has put into Rabbit.
Can't wait to listen to it again when I get up tomorrow. You just have to hear it to believe it.
Best of luck to you in the future Sufjan!

Chill.......2006-07-17

Sufjan Stevens is probably the most talented kid on the block. This album is before the greatness of Illinois and The Great Lakes State, and it shows where sufjans melodies come from. He is a not a lyric driven folk musician like 99.9% before him, he is a melody driven musician much like any ambient music(ie air, zero 7, even radiohead). Granted this is a much larger pill to swallow, but dont give up on the rabbit, he will impress you more with each listen, and after the pill makes it down, Illinois and Michigan sound even more genious.

Aside from a multimedia pastiche he did for England's millennium celebration, this soundtrack for Philip Noyce's film marks Peter Gabriel's first full slate of original recordings in nearly a decade. In the meantime, Gabriel's globally ambitious Real World musical mini-empire has taken precedence; the knowledge the musician gleaned there is immediately apparent in his film cues here. While the booming electro-tribal rhythms of previous Gabriel work come instantly into play, there's a sense of spacious mystery that's perfectly emblematic of the story's Australian outback setting. Gabriel's penchant for dense aural construction gives way to an ambient soundscape punctuated by Aboriginal percussion, didgeridoo, and bird song, and occasionally washed over by lolling tides of synth and samples. It's an atmosphere that, like the Aboriginal world it evokes, is nearly devoid of traditional melody, but one infused with a gripping, almost subliminal power. "Cloudless" then brings in haunting indigenous voices as well, intertwining them with a wordless, Westernized choral to emphasize Gabriel's compelling world music vision. --Jerry McCulley

Ancient and Modern.......2006-12-27

If you are expecting a Peter Gabriel Rock album, stay away from this CD.
Forget all the hits you already know from PG. and listen to this great Soundtrack.
Inspired by field recordings collected in areas as diverse as the Senegal, Egypt, Turkey and other places, Long Walk Home achieves a cumulative effect of all Gabriel's fascination with world music, delivering fantastic fusion of ancient and modern sounds ultimately transcends both geography and time.
As far as I am concerned, this is Gabriel's best film work, deserving a serious consideration, as his finest music of any kind.
This is one of my favorite Soundtrack music in my collection.

Once again, Gabriel shines.......2006-07-05

Gabriel's future works will always be compared to 1989's "LAST TEMPTATION...." and this one clearly stands close. "Gracie's Recapture," "The Return," and "Running..." were remixed together for the first movie preview of Gibson's "THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST" and would probably serve as a better score to that movie (no offense to Debney) than to this one. Still, Gabriel's score does work for this film, though only a handfull of tracks will be listened to repeatedly.

5 Stars for Rabbit Proof Fence.......2006-02-01

This is one of my most favourite scores of all time, and I own over 400 movie scores. What Peter Gabriel has done here as a composer is infuse a film with a vibrancy and heart breaking power that it wouldn't have had otherwise. It's such a mature and wonderful piece of work, one has to wonder why Gabriel doesn't compose more films.
Rabbit Proof Fence has been labelled as pointless background music by some. Hogwash. Yes, there are a few stretches on this album that are meant to be quiet, unobtrusive moments of background underscore, but to label this score as such is denying it of the power this CD contains. There are moments in this score, like Running to the Rain, Gracie's Rapture, and The Return that are so beautiful, so stunning, so tragic, so uplifting (this isn't a contradiction - you'll understand when you hear it yourself) that it's impossible to express it's greatness in words. And then the two songs at the end, Sky Blue Reprise and Cloudless, take you up to heights that few pieces of music can.
Gabriel here proves that he's more than a great singer/songwriter, as he did with Passion and to a lesser extent, Birdy; he's also one of the strongest film composers out there. This is truly one of the best CD's I own. To listen to it is a spiritual experience for me as the music picks up and soars to beautiful heights. I'm serious. This is wonderful stuff. Pick it up as soon as you can. I promise you won't be sorry.
cheers

interesting connections.......2005-12-21

One thing I found particularly interesting is this:
Peter Gabriel did the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's 1989 film "The Last Temptation of Christ", which was of course entitled, "Passion".

Is it just coincidence, then, that "Running to the Rain", one of the best songs on "Long Walk Home", obviously also by Peter Gabriel, was clearly used as the main theme to advertise the theatrical television trailers of Mel Gibson's recent film "The Passion"? Am I the only one who noticed this at the time??

Also, while watching "The Passion" in the theater, I was absolutely convinced that Peter Gabriel had done the soundtrack to that film as well, since it sounded so startlingly similar to both "Long Walk Home" and "Passion". seems there was quite a lot of "borrowing" going on with John Debney's composing methods and inspirations... hmm..

anyway, this is a great album. very contemplative and spacious. not as fast paced or rhythmic as Passion, but fits the atmosphere and theme of "Rabbit Proof Fence" quite well.

A masterpiece.......2004-09-15

First heard elements of this composition on the pre-marketed "Passion of the Christ" trailer released by Icon Films in late 2003, prior to Newmarket sponsorship.
The music in many of these tracks will bring one to tears, and musically there are fewer more talented than Peter Gabriel. His skill beams thru in this pensive, dark, and triumphant film score. A must-have for those who appreciate modern classics.
