ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREATS.......2007-06-08

THIS UNKNOWN CD WAS ONE OF THE BEST OF ITS ERA!!! A TOTAL ROCKING
CLASSIC. EARL SLICK IS GREAT ON GUITARS AND TONIO K IS JUST BRILLIANT. BEST CUTS- LIFE IN THE FOODCHAIN-FUNKY WERSTERN CIVILIZATION AND HATRED.
BUY THIS AT ALL COSTS...

Timeless Rock.......2007-05-16

Amazing - after nearly thirty years, this is still one of the greatest R&R albums ever recorded. "American Love Affair" has one of the best sets of lyrics I've ever heard - but the entire album is timeless. You really need to buy all of Tonio K's CD's - trust me - you'll never regret it.

An undeniable CLASSIC.......2006-12-11

It's hard to believe how amazing an album this is--especially considering that no other release of Tonio K's is anywhere NEAR this good. The lyrics all around, from the AMAZING "The Funky Western Civilization," to 'putting it another way, okay?' of "H-A-T-R-E-D," this album is spotless--and 21 straight 5-star ratings should all alone attest to its undying firepower. I had this one on vinyl years back and then lost it, and when I got this disc in the mail a few days back, I put on "Funky Western" and could still sing the whole damn song front to end as though I had listened to it just a week ago.

There just aren't many words to talk about how durn good this one is. Get it, pop it in, and make sure you do some chicken strutting to the chicken guitar solo.

Nice.

One of the Top 10.......2006-06-09

The lyrics are etched in my mind along with the melodies. There are few then and fewer now that can match Tonio K's wit and observation of life. Each song stands on its own -- not one runt in the whole pack. Like Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, the topics are timeless: lost love, hypocrisy, greed, power abuse and good ol' twisted side of man...just add a dash of raw verve and grab-your-throat intensity. Just imagine if Tonio K offered his own version of the National Anthem...

Lifer.......2006-04-12

I bought this LP in 1978 because Steve Simels reviewed it as the greatest rock and roll album of all time and remember Mr. Krikorian's response well. I proceeded to listen to James Brown's Live at The Apollo... I agree with Simels. I still have the original copy and CD as well as his next excellent LP, Amerika.

Beck's new trio - a winner!.......2004-04-21

Was at the Appbleby jazz fest last year, had the great pleasure in catching Gordon's new trio, the other two lovely french geezers really suit his playing, so consequently a trio that plays tremendous jazz (as she should be played).

An electrifying set by the Gordon Beck Trio!.......2004-02-24

An electrifying set by the Gordon Beck Trio, with french musicians Bruno Rousselet and Philippe Soirat on bass and drums, brought some of the most ecstatic reactions of the weekend at the Appleby Jazz Festival. Beck, a fearsome keyboard player, played long, fast runs as if every note was in sharp focus in his mind. He had a startling unity of purpose with his partners and played a repertoire of powerful, resonant, and often engagingly bluesy themes. - John Fordham - Guardian Newspaper U.K.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent performance (not everybody will like this music).......2000-06-13

Henry Purcell is regarded as the most gifted of England composers of all times. His genius reveals in all his music - ceremonial, operas, semi-operas, secular songs, religious and instrumental. This series of King conducting Purcell's anthems and services follows up the success of King's odes and welcome songs recordings. While all the performances in this series are excellent it's the quality of the music that counts and number 7 of this series arguably includes the best music. The booklet enclosed with King's notes is also very illuminating. The rating of four stars and not five is because not all admirers of purcell will enjoy this music as much as they enjoy his operas, semi-operas and wellcome songs as it's more on the melancholic side.

A valuable of an amazing musician!.......2005-05-24

The name Camilla Wicks is all but unknown today which is unfortunate, for here on CD we have evidence of a violinist of uncommonly great talent. Take the Beethoven Concerto. The rapport between Wicks, Bruno Walter and the New York Philharmonic is magical. That word also typifies the performance: Wicks captivates the listener with her deep knowledge of the violinist's part in the whole fabric of this piece. Nuances and phrasing are at a far greater intensity than what we would hear from the greats such as Heifetz. Same goes for the Sibelius (alas, only the third movement) which has more verve than any other violinist I have ever heard. The other crowning glory of this CD is the Tchaikovsky with Arthur Fiedler conducting. Wicks and Fiedler actually are listening to each other with Fiedler supplying Wicks with the kind of firm support every artist dreams of but never gets. It's a gigantic pity that these two are heard only in the first movement which Wicks plays with care in shadings that escape most other artists. This is a CD to cherish for the rare opportunity to hear a really GREAT violinist at work.

One of the greats/ a must buy for any serious violinist.......2005-04-28

Camilla's interpretation of the Beethoven in this CD is the most solid, lyrical and passionate I have heard. Her musicality and magnicificent phrasing show that she was truly one of the all time greats, and at such a young age. The Bloch is brilliant and her interpretation of the Sibelius is one that all others should be judged upon. Her bow technique is perfect. The Tchaikovsky is gorgeous and her cadenza is the best I've heard. She always has precise clarity and warm tone in her playing. No matter how fast she is playing every note is perfectly clear. This is a must buy for any serious violinist.

Somewhere in my memory........2002-09-05

After the events of last year, home has never been more important. Even the home of your memory. This recording has all the emotions of family; laughing, crying, loving but without the schmaltz. Christmas Card is a message to all the people here and gone that we will remember every year when the weather gets a bit colder, you can smell firewood burning in the air, and your heart is a bit softer.
