It's no mean feat being the world's foremost crossover artist--a task that risks alienating two disparate audiences and everyone in between--but somebody had to do it, and Andrea Bocelli again walks that artistic tightrope with impressive deftness. The title may imply a casual intimacy (indeed, the singer admits to taking a more "hands-on" approach to the album's conception and production), but it's a collection that nonetheless continues to expand on the Italian tenor's ambitious internationalism. His collaboration "Sin Tu Amor" immerses his voice in the Gipsy Kings' own rich Iberian folk-pop fusion with compelling results, while "Where Love Goes" (a musical focal point of the film Lazarus Child), his English language duet with 11-year-old prodigy Holly Stell, achieves an almost liturgical grace. "Tu Ci Sei" (You Are There) continues in the romantic vein of his familiar theme "Con Te Partiro" (Time to Say Goodbye), while the single "Dell' Amore Non Si Sa" (With Love You Never Know) features Bocelli in a signature dramatic tour de force collaboration with arranger Mauro Malavasi, the accomplished producer of the singer's Romanza and Sogno albums. Bocelli's shrewd taste and vocal prowess here not only again redeem an oft-maligned genre, but elevate it considerably in the bargain. --Jerry McCulley

HOW DO YOU SAY,"WOW," IN ITALIAN?.......2007-06-22
BEFORE I START, LET ME SAY, THAT I AM A DANCE CLUB GUY AND THAT, ORDINARILY, THIS IS NOT MY KIND OF MUSIC. OF COURSE, I LAUGH AS I SAY THAT, AS, APPARENTLY, A NEW DOOR HAS OPENED IN MY LIFE, THANKS TO THIS MAN.
A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD HEARD ANDREA DO, "CON TE PARTIRO," ON A PBS SPECIAL AND MY EYES FILLED WITH TEARS THAT ANY HUMAN COULD MAKE SUCH SOUNDS. I WAS ASTOUNDED; MORE ASTOUNDING, STILL, WAS TO HEAR THIS ALBUM AND FIND THAT HIS VOICE HAD ACTUALLY VASTLY IMPOVED OVER TIME. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? " CON TE..," PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE QUALITY OF THIS WORK; THE TRACKS ON THIS CD ARE PERFECT, FULL, RICH, AND MORE MOVING THAN ANYTHING I HAVE EVER HEARD. I HAVE HAD IT A WEEK, NOW, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE FOR VERY LONG, AND I PLAY IT OVER AND OVER. IT HAS BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE I HAVE BEEN AFFECTED LIKE THIS BY ANY VOCAL CD. IF HE NEVER RECORDED AGAIN HE WOULD HAVE MADE A MARK ON THE WORLD OF AUDIO NEVER TO BE ERASED OR FORGOTTEN. WHAT A VOICE! WHAT SONGS! THE CUT, "LIBERTA," ABSOLUTELY KILLS ME WITH FEELINGS OF JOY AND MARVEL. I HAVE EVEN TAKEN UP STUDYING ITALIAN BECAUSE OF IT.
TREAT YOURSELF, AND A GOOD FRIEND, TO THE SOUNDS ON THIS CD. SIT AND WATCH A SUNSET WITH IT ON... I MEAN NOW!
Just buy it........2007-05-30
If you like soft music that make's you feel up beat, just order a Andrea Bocelli CD. Listening to his CD's after being at work all day, is like having an option in life to hear and be somewhere else.
Teamo, Andrea Bocelli .......2007-03-08
One of his best. Need the lyrics translated from the Italian to the English inside the casing next time. Nonetheless, Mr. Bocelli has a beautiful voice. It made my wife and all my female co-workers swoon when they listened to it.
A new style from Andrea........2007-02-24
There were some ugly songs in here.(I absolutely hate to say that about anything Andrea.)But the good far outshone the bad.
Un Nouvo Giorno stunned me the first time I heard it.It was so unlike anything I had heard from Andrea- very pop.But it soon grew on me.
Liberta is amazing.Very catchy and upbeat.
Sempre O Mai is my favorite.It keeps its tempo up and has the best of Andrea and pop.Great song.
So this album was really a double album with pop and classical songs interspersed.A good mix from the master.
Not happy with delivery (or non delivery) of this item.......2007-01-16
When I ordered this on 12/04/2006 they said I would have it before Christmas. Then right before Christmas the delivery date was changed to mid-January. So I had to cancel my order and go, at the last minute, buy it at a store because it was a Christmas present. I wasn't happy about it and won't be buying from amazon for the holidays any longer.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent, But...!.......2007-05-15
I was really hoping this anthology would solve a lot of my Duncan Browne needs. In Canada, Browne never made the same kind of splash as he did in the UK. His albums received spotty distribution in North America, to say the least! I discovered him by accident when the radio station I was working for cleared out a lot of old vinyl in the mid 1980s. That's where I found Give Me Take You and - after realizing it was the same Browne who had tickled my Roxy Music jones with "Criminal World" (as Metro) and "The Wild Places" - I revelled in the fact that I'd discovered a whole new side of Browne I never knew existed. So, by way of explanation, fans will relish this two disc collection for its ambitious scope. Covering sides he'd done as a member of Lorel, as a 60s moonpie folk-sike solo artist, as a member of Metro and again, as a solo artist, it touches on all the right bases and includes many cuts never formally issued on CD. The liner notes are exemplary, providing all the details one could want and the sound is first rate. But - and this caveat is a huge one! - it includes the 45 rpm version of Metro's massive hit "Criminal World" (the same song Bowie covered on his Let's Dance album), NOT the full-length album version (which is wayyyyyyyyy cooler!). So, I've docked the set two notches for the omission and pray that someday, the nice folks over at Sanctuary will rectify said problem. Apart from that one really crappy piece of planning, the rest of the set totally scores, painting a vivid portrait of a world-class singer who never got his proper due and who always hovered at the fringes of success. If you can live with that one blip on this otherwise fine collection, then you'll learn to love Browne as much as I have...

A beaut!.......2004-03-05
This is a lovely album through and through and deserves equal time with anything Nick Drake and John Martyn ever released. Like them, Browne has the gift of being insular without being insufferable; unlike them, at least on this album, he has a quiet warmth that invites you in to listen. He's also very accomplished as a guitarist and is given supportive, non-obtrusive production by Mickie Most (Donovan, Jeff Beck, etc.).
"Journey" was Duncan Browne's UK "hit" from this album, and it's a great song, but so are the rest here. Quite a gem.

Customer Reviews:
A WORK OF BEAUTY .......2006-03-25
I had the enormous pleasure of meeting David Bretton today, the lyricist on this album. Sadly, Duncan died some 13 years ago, but we met to discuss the forthcoming book I am writing about his life and work.
Few albums touch a listener in the way that this album can. The musicianship is of a very high calibre, the singing is divine and the songwriting exceptional. David and Duncan had a good thing going at the time and it is a relief to know that this album is readily available - a polished gem waiting to be unearthed by a new generation.
Quite Nice.......2005-08-20
I'm a big fan of British pop music of the 1966-68 era, so when I heard about this I thought I'd give it a chance.
It sounds a bit like '60'sNirvana, Nick Drake and 1967 Donovan...but not as good as any of them.
Not one of the songs touches my heart. Half the time he could be singing about toothpaste for all the emotion he emotes. It drones on. His voice never changes from song to song.
There wasn't really one song that I thought, while listening, that I would go back to and listen to again, except perhaps Alfred Bell & Waking You...
I'm still quite pleased I've bought it. The CD is well presented and the sound is excellently re-produced and I like all the extra versions at the end.
It sort of reminds me of songs that were sung on children's TV programmes in the late '60's which is nice...but I can't seem to get beyond the 'nice' word.
It's most definetely NOT great or magnificent, just, quite nice.
ONE OF THE BAROQUE POP GREATS.......2005-01-08
there is not much i can add that hasn't already been said..I bought this record in 1968..highschool..i was intrigued by the cover and that the three guys in the band looked-a-like.(actually they were three photo's of duncan on back cover) the guy in the record store who i knew, dismissed this record as a faux donovan..i didn't believe him ..bought it..and upon the first listening, in winter i believe, was transported into a music/lyrical world that i have rarely ever entered in any other record.Joni mitchell-s heijera, tim buckley's blue afternoon, richard harris"s-jimmy webb's mccarthurs park and a handful of others,donovans gift from a flower to a garden and nick drake of course..but this album is a one of a kind record. i am a fan of all of duncan browne's music since then but there is something very singular about this music. as someone else said.its pre-raphaelite. i was reading mervyn peake's great "gormenghast"
trilogy at the time and this music paralleled it.It is other worldly.. precious.beautiful and full of literary imagery.In fact i find it 30 years later quite remarkable that this was ever created. I have never heard anything in pop music like it..And to imagine how young he was when he wrote the music and his friend wrote the lyrics.One of the great things in our music culture is the music that you grow up with and hold dear through your life..This is one of the dearest for me.. and will always be.
A Gem From a Tender Soul of British Folk.......2004-07-03
This man was an unknown to me until so very recently -so if you stumble into this page by those strange turns of internet life, you have a companion in me ... I guess.
Now, as I'm sure you experienced many a time, the newness of one's encounter with something beautiful does not preclude the depth of one's experience, nor the value of what one has seen.
Duncan Browne, musically speaking, is a younger brother to Donovan Leitch, a childhood friend of Vashti Bunyan's, and a soft-spoken cousin to the Incredible String Band.
This is bonafide British Folk, the psychedelic variety as it is now know as ... soft melodies, strings caressed rather than strummed, tales of young girls in wondrous places and magical beings, the obligatory harpsichord, tasteful and simple strings, and chorus voices seeming to float in the Summer's air.
Well ... you get the picture -I'm sure- and either you are still reading on suddenly called by your love for this kind of music, or I'm now speaking to myself.
The whole album is a trove of treasures which manage to sound tender, after all these years, rather than naïve and outdated -a remarkable feat in itself for any work over thirty years old.
So, because you are still reading, I must tell you that this album can -must!- be listened from beginning to end. That is how consistently delightful it is, but if I must make some choices I'd choose both versions of "Alfred Bell," pure, sad nectar, the single the never took off -On The Bombsite, studio and demo versions alike- and "Give Me, Take You" which gives this gem its title.
Treat yourself to the sounds of a gentle soul, the kind of young man you may wish your son to become ... or hope you still are.
The exquisite 1968 debut album of Duncan Browne.......2004-01-12
There are several elements that make. Duncan Browne's 1968 debut album "Give Me Take You" stand out. One is that Browne's lyricist David Bretton is a legitimate poet, which gives these songs a dimension usually missing in folk and folk-rock music on either side of the Atlantic. Additionally, Browne has a superb singing voice that matches well against any other singer-songwriter from that period. Browne's work also introduces elements of classical music into the fusion of folk, rock, and pop that are covered by these songs, that gives several of these songs a most distinctive sound. Unfortunately because the label he recorded for was going down for the count, Browne's debut album was not the commercial success it should have been; only one single, "On the Bombsite" was released and Andrew Loog Oldham cut short the recording sessions. The result was that it five years before Browne released his next album, a self-titled work that is just as good; but it is difficult not to think on what Browne might have done during that period in the studio.
"Give Me Take You" is a melancholy collection of introspective songs (e.g., "I Was You Weren't," "Alfred Bell"), and while I came across Browne's work because I was trying to get beyond the work of Sandy Dennis, Richard Thompson, and other luminaries of the British folk-rock scene, the classical elements make it unique. There is a simple innocence, if not a naïveté to these songs, that give Browne his own niche in this genre. As is often the case with these remastered and reissued albums from the 1960s and 1970s, there are five bonus tracks, including the Mono Single Versions of "On the Bombsite" and "Alfred Bell," along with the demo version of the former, and a pair of previously unreleased tracks, "Resurrection Joe" and "Final Asylum." David Bretton does the liner notes, a necessity forced by the death of Browne in 1993. There are a lot of excellent albums from this period in British folk-rock music waiting to be rediscovered by new generations on this side of the pond, and Duncan Browne's "Give Me Take You" is one of them. One of the nice things is that most of the reviews of this album will lend you to more such gems for you to track down.

Very good album, but buyer beware.......2003-01-08
This is an enjoyable follow-up to "The Wild Places", but before anyone pays the rather exhorbitant import price, please be aware that, for some inexplicable (and unmentioned) reason, the title cut has been edited down from eight to three minutes. When the label corrects this error I'll happily purchase the cd again, but in the meantime, I'm reluctantly returning this copy and seeking out the original vinyl.
Lovely, but flawed.......1999-01-26
Browne's second Sire album (orig. released 1979) returned much of the brooding melodicism of _The Wild Places_, but featured somwhat starker, darker instrumental settings. The taut, punchy "Fauvette" sounds a bit like Dire Straits and features some of Browne's best electric fingerpicking; "She's Just a Fallen Angel" is gorgeous but almost oppressively sad. "American Heartbeat" is the only other really noteworthy song on the album, recalling _Wild Places_ in its cinematic density; silly lyrics though.
Most of the rest of the record is amiable, but minor, showcasing the impressive skills of Browne's late-70's band, especially fretless bassist John Giblin and drummer Simon Phillips (who went on to work with Pete Townshend and others in a studio career that lasted through the 80s). In short, it's a pretty good mood piece that might appeal to, say, late-period Roxy Music fans. Browne cultists probably already have the album; newcomers might want to try tracking down _The Wild Places_ first.

Customer Reviews:
one of a kind.......2003-09-17
I bought Streets of Fire back in the late seventies, when you couldn't pre-listen much; I just liked that cool dagger earring. I must have played it at least 200 times since, probably more, and i bet if i put it on right now it would still reveal nuances I'd never noticed. so spacious, so beautifully woven, natural, uncontrived, no wonder he never really made it that big. last night I dreamt about him. he was the real thing. sigh...
Music's great - compilation missing a song.......2000-07-11
I probably would have rated this five stars because I have always been such a fan of the late Duncan Browne. I was thrilled to be able to find an affordable CD that included both of the classic albums. It is also nice to have the liner notes because even though I have been a longtime fan, I never knew much about him. "The Wild Places" and "Streets of Fire" are Browne's better known works, even though most of his material has been largely ignored or unnoticed. He was a true talent with a gift for generating mood-enhancing music. I am extremely disappointed that "Cancion de Cuna: Street Echoes" was left off this collection. That was the final peaceful track on "Streets of Fire." Perhaps the label ran out of room as the two albums combined run about 76 minutes. However it is still pleasant to get clean copies of "The Wild Places," "American Heartbeat," "(Restless) Child of Change" and all of the others.

Customer Reviews:
The exquisite 1968 debut album of Duncan Browne.......2004-01-15
There are several elements that make. Duncan Browne's 1968 debut album "Give Me Take You" stand out. One is that Browne's lyricist David Bretton is a legitimate poet, which gives these songs a dimension usually missing in folk and folk-rock music on either side of the Atlantic. Additionally, Browne has a superb singing voice that matches well against any other singer-songwriter from that period. Browne's work also introduces elements of classical music into the fusion of folk, rock, and pop that are covered by these songs, that gives several of these songs a most distinctive sound. Unfortunately because the label he recorded for was going down for the count, Browne's debut album was not the commercial success it should have been; only one single, "On the Bombsite" was released and Andrew Loog Oldham cut short the recording sessions. The result was that it five years before Browne released his next album, a self-titled work that is just as good; but it is difficult not to think on what Browne might have done during that period in the studio.
"Give Me Take You" is a melancholy collection of introspective songs (e.g., "I Was You Weren't," "Alfred Bell"), and while I came across Browne's work because I was trying to get beyond the work of Sandy Dennis, Richard Thompson, and other luminaries of the British folk-rock scene, the classical elements make it unique. There is a simple innocence, if not a naïveté to these songs, that give Browne his own niche in this genre. As is often the case with these remastered and reissued albums from the 1960s and 1970s, there are five bonus tracks, including the Mono Single Versions of "On the Bombsite" and "Alfred Bell," along with the demo version of the former, and a pair of previously unreleased tracks, "Resurrection Joe" and "Final Asylum." David Bretton does the liner notes, a necessity forced by the death of Browne in 1993. There are a lot of excellent albums from this period in British folk-rock music waiting to be rediscovered by new generations on this side of the pond, and Duncan Browne's "Give Me Take You" is one of them. One of the nice things is that most of the reviews of this album will lend you to more such gems for you to track down.
