Sixth and darkest album yet from the Sunn0))) camp. They continue with their collaborative efforts, inviting OREN AMBARCHI, John Weise (BASTARD NOISE), Wrest (LEVIATHAN, LURKER OF CHALICE), and Malefic (XASTHUR, TWILIGHT). Progressive yet primitive sub-sonic sounds from the deep.

A collector's item with a few problems.......2007-07-03

I enjoyed this album. I too anticipated it, and made sure that I had enough time and space (not in the car, not while I was doing something else) to listen to it. It starts well--the Donald Lawrence touch. I have become accustomed to the new studio sound that they have all been showcasing on their solo albums, and Donald catches this sound nicely. It really is not true to their live sound of many years ago, but I guess the Clark Sisters have changed with the times--in many ways. I really enjoyed the remakes--enjoyed singing along. As any tried and true fan, I had all the ad-libs and fillers down to the note. I like how the reggae beat on "World" is updated to a more contemporary reggae beat. But didn't anyone else have questions about the strange voice on "Instrument." I understand it may be Blanche from Tri-City, but why is she on here? And if she is going to be, why isn't she at least named as a guest vocalist to save me the trouble of figuring out which one of the sisters had lost it? Also, it seems that Twinkie was a bit hoarse. She wasn't soaring as she usually does with that crystal clear voice of hers. She deals well with it, but her hoarseness took away some of the "sangin' " that we are accustomed to hearing from the group. For that matter, Karen seemed to be hoding back too. Anyway, a good buy. If you're going to be a Clark Sisters connaiseur you need to get it.

Don't Take it for granted...A Must Have!.......2007-06-20

I love it...
A CD that will inspire to change from the beginning till the End.
Got to love the Clark Sisters and their legacy.

Warning:The CD does have it technical issues like Karen's 'It's Not Over' because you can tell the difference between studio and LIVE...Overall great buy!

AND THE WINNER IS>>........2007-06-17

They have to get a grammy for this. I understand why is been in the top CD's since it came out. My favovite is 'Livin'. It's one of the new tracks, and they are sangin for Lord! I enjoyed them doing the old songs too. I love "Blessed and Highly Favored" THe orginal cut i think was on Twinkie Solo CD. Between The clark sisters, and J. Moss they could put on a Jamin concert. That would be a blessed concert. If you a true fan of the music you will love this CD. They all look good and sound good, give them the Grammy please!

Amazing!.......2007-06-13

I bought this album the very day it came out! This album is a masterpiece. Blessed and Highly Favor is my favortie song on the album. I really like how they all did there thing on each song.. Good luck to you ladies.. And now I see there's a live dvd.. OMG IM IN HEAVEN! I just ordered that. Can't wait for this to be released.. Now I can get the visual to them singing all of these songs from the live album! PRAISE GOD!

The Clark Sisters CD is breath taking !!!.......2007-05-31

Have you ever had a CD that you where casually listening to all of a sudden stop you dead in your tracks? That is what this CD will do to you.

I was nonchalantly listening and then the song "Instrument" came on then everything stopped and up went the praise. And if that was not enough, the following song "You Heard Me Cry" just floored me.

The whole album is well put together with the old and the new. The sisters take turns taking the lead on specific songs which really accentuates how talented each sister really is. "One Last Time" (Live)should be a CD that you will play for years to come.

If you have never really listened to the Clark Sisters before I would advise you to listen to the samples and then order/buy it immediately. You'll be glad you did!

Album Description

One Cold Winter's Night was recorded on February 11th, 2006 at the historic Rockefeller Musichall in Oslo, Norway. Kamelot enlisted renowned film and video director Patric Ullaeus to chronicle the night's events. Arriving with him from Gothenberg, Sweden, Patric had a large crew of professionals and equipment including 18 cameras that would be used in and around the concert grounds. The title for the band's first DVD (based on an earlier Kamelot song title) was chosen long before the actual shoot. Ironically this winter turned out to be one of the longest and coldest in the country's history, with enormous amounts of snow and numerous chaos-causing blizzards. A very special thanks goes out to fans that had to wait in line before doors opened to the sold out show. We sincerely hope we managed to warm you back up!

Customer Reviews:

must have 2 Disc set!.......2007-04-01

The only thing better than a live concert is access to live music all the time and Kamelot is flawless all throughout this 2 disc set. Brillant music, epic sound, and these tracks will definately get your blood pumping. These guys really pour every ounce of energy into thier music and it shows. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

Great band with awesome live sound.......2007-02-13

I bought both the DVD and CD. It's THAT good.
Many songs are actually more powerfull than the studio version. The selection of songs is also very good.

The DVD is sleek, with many cameras capturing the show. Very high quality.

Highly recommended for any Kamelot fan.

Great cd.......2007-01-31

If you like Kamelot, and progessive metal, you'll love this, Roy Khan's vocal are at the top of his game, and Casey Grillo's drumming is outstanding and it's all captured on disc for everyone to enjoy. I've been a big fan for quite a while, and this is one of the best live cd's that I have ever heard.

One Cold Winter's Night, is one hot disk set........2007-01-27

This is what you expect from some of the most down to earth rockers, you will find out there. They are committed to their craft and they do a wonderful job of executing it. Kawn's vocals, how he pours himself into every song, so much power and passion. Thomas's and Barry, if there were two gods of the strings, it would be theses guys, and Oliver, the haunting effects that roll from his keyboards, and Casey one of the most talented drummers its been my pleasure to see perform. These guys bring so much energy and power to each and every song they perform, and if you think this disk is something you should see them live, but if you can't grab a copy of the DVD it is well worth it, I bought both. :)

Khan at his best!.......2006-12-28

This live CD is just brilliant. The vocals are perfect and the guests included are pretty awesome too. The band plays most of their songs concerning Ariel's story. If you like Kamelot, you must buy this! And if you haven't heard them yet this might be a good start.
The DVD recording of this same concert is exceptional too, so I recommend buying it.

crazy insane........2007-06-27

As soon as i received this CD, i turned it right the way up on my stereo. After 5 minutes of play, my flatmate said 'this is just one big distortion' and after 20 minutes of play, he was cussing and cursing, demanding i 'turn that crap off'. fact of the matter is, for someone who's never really listened to anything experimental, anything drony (Fantomas for the masses) then you just wont like or appreciate this. I put it on my pod, and i loved it. it is brutally terrifying, and extremely dissonant. but it works, and the core freezing death growls suit it perfectly. i only gave it 4 stars, as in the song 'Cry For The Weeper' there is some cool floating ethereal sounds emerging, then the song just stops, just as it almost starts to get really interesting.

to put it simply.. on try this if you've heard "brutal-drone-metal-heavy-distortion-for freakin-ages" before.. otherwise, try something a little easier first, such as Fantomas.

For those of us who have been living in a cave.......2007-03-17

Sun O))) gives this world of weak humans something beautiful; most of us will never properly grasp such beauty. Unless you're familiar with the sort of elitist soundscapes created by outfits like Lustmord and Pan Sonic, you won't understand the amazing things some of these "metal" guys are capable of doing. You'll just have to take a leap and liten. Black One takes all the accepted cliches and throws them out of the window. Cookie-monster vocals are the only cue as to where these guys come from, aside from that it's a long, long way off from your burnout older brother's Venom LPs. The fellows in Sunn O))) own and operate Southern Lord, which is host to many other talented and original bands, most of which I'm planning to check out, as I am new to this particular renaissance.

Great makeout tunes for the kind of evening that ends in tragedy.

Not For The Faint Of Heart. Or Mind........2007-02-24

This album contains every ingredient needed to induce absolute fear. Not the type of fear as if a madman were chasing you with a knife. Nothing that trivial. This album is the brink of madness. A message so true and scary that it is not easily received in the mainstream.

Lyrically, I found the writing to be succinct, stark, intelligent and flowing. In other words: brilliant. Some of the best literature I've ever read in any medium. Simply stunning. And scary. And delightfully so.

The musical effort is too vast to try to explain, you only need listen to (hopefully) understand.

Evil Is A Spirit.......2006-12-16

I was alone and in the dark when horror seeped from my speakers into my imagination. At the end of a long metal corridor is Sunn O))), a large dark orb of pain, hate and the fear of every paralyzing dream. Its core spins violently like a tempest of knives but its movement toward me is slow, deliberate & inevitablelike the Ocean or Time or God Himself...

Evil in metal is increasingly difficult to represent convincingly. Sunn O))) remind us that evil is not tangible, its corporal. Its not a flesh eating pit fiend or something pictured on a Dio cover. Evil is a Spirit and as a spirit is something bigger than our comprehension, and thus, our ability to stop it. Therein lies its terror. There is no escape or defense from an omnipotent foe; one not bound by physics like life in a tangible form.

As such, Sunn O))) do not create Dungeons & Dragons heavy metal. Its closer to ambient music using minor keys and the sustain on a downtuned bass instead of marimbas and wind chimes. It owes as much to Terry Riley as Toni Iommi. Verbs like "lumber" and "plod" used for past doom acts don't apply here either. Sunn O))) hover, glide or even wisp. Omnipresent yet invisible, you'd be no more sure it was there if you could see it.

Black One is truely terrifying music. It is quite possibly my most terrifying experience ever observing art. It's reward is profound if you have the...Spirit for it.

A dark cave in which you will die...........2006-12-12

Misery, pain, claustrophobia, solitude, paranoia, and hate.... This album is oozing with "negativity." Fans of conventional rock music and "heavy metal" should stay far away from Sunn o))). You will not hear any catchy choruses or flashy guitar solos on this record. This music will pull you down into a downward spiral of insanity, emptiness, and misery. It is recommended that you sit alone in a dark, empty room while you listen to this record. Let this album eat away at your fragile human psyche. Just let the sounds engulf you... the slow drone of the guitars and the claustrophobic, horrifying screams of the two enigmatic USBM vocalists. Overall, this is Sunn o)))'s best release so far. Malefic and Wrest provided the vocal work and they both fit into the music perfectly. And this may seem rather bold of me to say, but Malefic in particular is one of the reasons why this album was such a groundbreaking success. His vocals fit the tone and the atmosphere of the music perfectly. His shrieks not only evoke a feeling of general uneasiness and frailty, but he completely nails the feelings of claustrophobia and paranoia flawlessly. Wrest also does a fine job on the track that he contributed to, but it is mostly Malefic who provides the outstanding vocals on this record. In the end, Sunn o))) is either a band that you are going to absolutely love or hate. They have taken the sound of Earth 2 and have evolved it to the next level.... they have made the perfect music to accompany you in your lonely, desolate, and empty cave.... They have created sounds that peel away at the layers of your fragile sanity and they have created music that will shake your psyche to the very core. This music sounds like a horrifying nightmare that you cannot wake up from....

Customer Reviews:

The penultimate collection ..........2006-12-07

Generally I agree with Strategos in his ecstatic Spotlight Review above. It is a joy to here some of the most memorable themes and cues from some of the most memorable science fiction and fantasy movies (re)recorded in great sound and in lavish (re)orchestrations, played by renowned classical orchestras, namely the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra, no less.

I have always had a weak spot for (good, or maybe even intelligent) science fiction/fantasy and film music, especially its way of evoking mystery, grandure and wide open spaces. Call it a weakness if you want. But it was maybe really kick started off, for as far as I can remember, with Star Trek. But especially Star Trek II, III and IV - essentially a trilogy - because of their very romantic but very warm, human core, set on the broadest canvasses of unlimited and mysterious outer space. But then there was the music for adding that essential extra dimension of emotion and atmosphere. I am happy that much of the music on this album is from the Star Trek series and films, often equaling or sometimes even outclassing the original recordings.

This kind of music (for the movies) should be seen as an art on its own rights with its own merits and qualities. As such, the musical sequences on these CD's are a beautifully played cross section of some of the most evoking orchestral music for science fiction/fantasy film ever created. And I very much like the nicely blended, wide and deep orchestral soundpicture with enough reverberation to evoke a sense of wide open spaces.
I am quite thrilled by tracks like the evocative music from Dune, truly transporting one to the vastly sands of Arrakis (the music is wonderful, but to my great regret I think the movie itself is a flawed masterpiece at best, alas.). And then there is the very different, goofy music for Ghostbusters (memories of childhood), the spoofy but electrifying music from Mars Attacks (lovingly parodist music, this, with not a little touch of irony) and the happily adventurous, forward driving Theme from Galaxy Quest ('Never give up, never surrender!'), now also used for the internet-based fan-series Star Trek: The Hidden Frontier. On the other side of the spectrum we have the atmospheric music for Enemy Mine (an underestimated 'little' movie), the Theme from The Right Stuff (actually science FACT, not fiction, this film, just like Apollo 13, of course), the eerily attractive music for Species, the original End Title for Alien (not used in the theatrical version of the movie, where it was replaced by music from howard Hanson's Second Symphony), the exquisitely exotic music for Stargate, the sweet and warmly sympathetic, beautifully re-orchestrated, theme for Starman, the title cue for Star Trek: TOS (much more melodiously played than the original! If only a series nowadays could continue to be as thought provoking and as original as Star Trek was during its launch, fourty years ago ...) and a truly overpowering End Titles Suite from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. I especially like the thrillingly grandiloquent rendition here of the music for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. And how nice it is to hear the (thematic) similarities between James Horner's music for The Wrath of Khan, his great break-through as a film music composer, and his (two years) earlier music for Battle Beyond the Stars (which did indeed help him earn the job for writing the music for Star Trek II) ...

But on the 'down side', if one is looking for - for example - the gorgeously expansively played End Titles from Cocoon, it is not included here: one has to acquire the album that 'kicked it all off', so to say, namely 'Space and Beyond', also on Silva Screen. I was very pleased also with the inclusion on that album of some of the music from the series Star Trek: The Next Generation, namely where one of the characters, Tasha Yar, in one of the episodes (Skin of Evil) is saying goodbye to her crewmmates: sweetly sentimental and simple music which I have always wanted to own on CD. I guess that a few cues from the other two sequals ('Alien Invasion: Space and Beyond II' and 'Space3: Beyond the Final Frontier') didn't make it onto this 4 CD collection-album as well, but I guess that it would be the 'better part of the bargain' to opt to buy this 'The Science Fiction Album' instead of buying all three albums separately. Well, of course it is for yourself to ultimately decide what you really want ;-)

If I were to nitpick (which is not easy with such a marvellous project as this one), then I would say that while all music is performed with magnificent grandure and with style, some of it is not performed as crisply and as technically 'on the spot' as some of the original recordings: ensemble is a little slack and the playing somewhat stilted sometimes, losing some of the edge and the originality of the writing. ET and Star Wars spring to mind, but then the soundtracks for Star Wars are traditionally recorded with the magnificent London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by maestro John Williams himself, and these superior recordings (especially the ones for Episode I, II and III) can't really be bettered, IMHO. Likewise for the music from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, I believe that in the end one really has to resort to the ultimate reference, namely the original recording (which is true in many other instances of 'original recordings'), and then the 20th anniversay colector's edition of this soundtrack on Columbia/Legacy (truly unmissable, this veritable classic of sci-fi/film music soundtracks!).

But all in all this 4CD-collection amounts to probably being the penultimate high quality sci-fi music album collection (I certainly know of no other project that comes as close quality as well as quantity wise), with some of the most memorable musical moments from classic to modern sci-fi/fantasy film captured in lavish orchestrations.
Collection-wise: five *stars*. Playing: generally four *stars*, sometimes more. The recording quality: five *stars*. The music (qualified on its own merits as film music) and its (re)orchestrations: generally five *stars*. In the end this is all highly recommended, and certainly not to be missed by science fiction and fantasy film music fans. Klaatu barada nikto.

Muisic of the Spheres.......2006-11-06

You wonderful four disk collection of SF music. It startsa up the the grand master of SF music, 2001: A space Odyssey all the way to Superman. This is all American SF music and several themes I would have liked to have included are not there. All in all though, a collection you will enjoy.

The Ulllllltimate Sci-Fi Music Collection.......2005-10-23

If one person gives great gifts, it's the illustrious Codemaster Talon. I've received a fair number of gifts in my lifetime, but so far, my older sister's take the cake. Take this one for instance. I'm real big on orchestral music, to the point where I listen to them more than any other kind of music. I've got orchestral versions of video game themes, orchestral soundtracks to truck-loads of anime shows (Big O, Escaflowne, and Giant Robo are incredible), and could probably spend the rest of my life just trying to study the nuances of all the classical music I've got. Being such a huge fan of orchestral music, I also have come to believe that orchestra music produced for movies and television is the new classical music (or as someone once said, Mozart would be making music for movies if he were alive today). Being a huge sci-fi fan, that kind of music has always been particularly near and dear to my heart. But were I to buy each and every soundtrack for every sci-fi I liked it would cost quite a bundle, and would include a lot of sub-par music along with the grandiose and fantastic main and memorable themes. That's where this beauty comes in.

The moment I ripped off the shrink-wrap and popped it into my cd player was a moment of great trepidation. Believe me when I tell that I've seen my fair share of sub-par orchestral recording in my lifetime. Very often they are in those big super-packs of music, and suffer from poor direction, improper mastering, and sometime even pathetic orchestration (or worse yet have something sounding like a cheap synthesizer and a kazoo in place of a full orchestra). I needn't have worried though. This sucker is fantastic.

Many people who are not audiophiles will probably miss the point of this cd collection. It is not the original versions of the pieces. It is re-orchestrations, mostly by the phenomenal Prague Symphony Orchestra. Many of these themes didn't sound all that hot in there original versions because they were low budget films or were not recorded in high-fidelity. Here they are given the full treatment, mastered with the most loving care imaginable. Often the version found in these cds is SUPERIOR to the original.

Remember the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey? Of course you do. But how many times have you heard a cheap imitation of the original version from the movie, starting too low in volume and ending too high (and missing the essential pipe-organ that gives it that extra oomph)? Well, this first track in the entire collection is not only everything it should be instrumental and timing-wise, but it also has been oh-so-carefully adjusted during the mastering process so that at no time is the music either too low or too high in volume (surely a benchmark for every other recording ever to be made of the piece).

Or what about the theme from the (at-the-time) uber-creepy The Black Hole? The orchestration of this piece of music goes from tiumphant to terrifying and back again, with a splendor and cleanness that I CERTAINLY don't remember being in the original recording.

Then there's the new version of the theme from Independence Day, complete with a violin solo, a far more electrifying ending climax, and a chorus so thunderous that you feel like applauding at the end. Simply indescribable. Kind of like the MIND-BLOWING rendition of the theme from The Last Star Fighter. This has been one of my favorite themes for a long time now, but I've never heard it played like this. I think the original version of the theme is something like 1 minute long, but this new version doesn't just fade out (HAHAHAHA!!!!) THIS version is THREE minutes long, goes through the main theme THREE times, with the final strains being so triumphant and joyous I could not help but feel an electrifying charge the first dozen or so times (come to think of it, I still feel that way). This is superior to the original in EVERY way. AWESOME.

And let's not forget the incredible new rendition of Stargate with it's heavy use of clarinets (for Egyptian effect!) and a triumphant new ending (completely lacking the chanting from the original version. This version is so different that for the first minute it is very hard to tell that it is in fact Stargate. But then the main theme kicks in, and then you get this incredible flute solo for my favorite part of theme (the whole thing is played slower, but arguably more powerfully than the original). My goodness. At first I found the thing so different I didn't like it. But then I listened to it again. And again. And again.

I could go on and on, talking about the fantastic new rendition of Moon Raker, the ear-popping Battlestar Galactica, the classic Star Trek (First Contact has a minute or two of the theme from Star Trek:The Motion Picture before going into the main theme), or the sweet renditions of music from the Star Wars movies (or the music from E.T.).

I have to mention though that this collection was not picked based merely on what people want, or on what is popular. No, the people who made it obviously thought a GOOD music collection was better than a popular one. That's why you get a heartbreakingly beautiful theme from A.I. instead of the main theme. It's why you get music from movies that you probably never gave a second thought to the music (because the movie was lousy). It's why you get Armageddon, Judge Dredd, and Robocop (who would have guessed their music was so COOL when there was all that crazy action and bad-acting going on on-screen).

I said it before and I'll say it again. This cd-set was mastered with tender-loving-care, and it shows BIG-TIME. High-fidelity the likes of which I have not seen since the days when cds were brand-new in the world. Dolby Surround. Perfectly balanced. BEAUTIUFL orchestrations. About the only thing that makes me scratch my head is the weird sound-effect tracks (Oooookay.....). Other than that, it's PERFECT. Obviously they could not include every sci-fi theme ever (no one can), but this collection is REALLY GOOD. A lot of great themes that got away (forgotten gems :), new versions of old favorites, and under-appreciated classics aplenty, but ALWAYS the full and complete versions with nothing cut-out (the theme from Dune is quite extended).

If you love movie music (and sci-fi movie music in particular) you MUST buy this awesome collection). It is not the original recordings. Almost always the new ones are better (if they aren't better they're just equal). This is what you have been waiting for. I for one am going to be buying quite a few cds from this company in the future. Give your ears the treat they deserve. Buy it NOW.

SciFi Album gift.......2005-07-20

I bought the Science Fiction Album as a gift for my son who is twenty-one years old. He is a musician, and also a huge fan of many SciFi shows and movies. I thought this would be the perfect thing for him and I was right. He loves it!

Away From to be a Collectible Peace.......2004-12-16

If you like Sci-Fi movies and want a compilation of their important scores, this is the CD-set to buy. But let me warn you about that very few songs in the cds are from the original soundtracks. Most of them is re-recorded by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. But the sound quality of cds are very good, because they have HDCD and Dolby Surround labels. This set is away from to be a collectible peace, but it is a good general compilation of favorite Sci-Fi movie scores.

Zero to sixty in a split second!.......2007-04-05

Black Cars, fast cars, whatever! This was the greatest CD of the eighties. Most of this material went un-noticed. Every song is great. This is remastered and it includes a great "extended mix" of "Black Cars". The crazy thing is that Gino pretty much disappeared after this great Cd ran its course.

AWESOME! .......2006-03-31

This music is awesome. I never even heard these songs in 1985 so it was never played as much as it should have been. The glossy, polished sound is just spectacular. You can't even tell it's from 1985 it sounds so good.Gino struck gold with this one.

No Its not about Joe's Black Camaro.......2003-01-10

I always laugh when people hear the song,"Black Cars" because inevitably someone will ask if its about his car ! If you're wondering what its all about buy it and listen to it ! Figure it out for yourself. This release is loaded with great songs, and witty lyrics abound. This is Gino's "new wave" entry - very upbeat,"rock" influenced and fun to listen to. I especially love the voice-overs - very sexy. Some of my fav lyrics are on this LP, including, "Here she comes, the ghost of Venus de Milo." (Okay maybe its just the say he says it !?) Terrific !

TIME OF (GOOD) CHANGES FOR GINO ...........2001-07-06

THIS ALBUM MADE A CHANGE IN GINO'S HISTORY: HE ABANDONED (IN A CERTAIN WAY ) HIS REGISTERED GOOD-TASTING BLEND OF SOUL/JAZZ/POP/FUNK THAT SPICED HIS EARLY WORKS , AND TOOK THEN THE "TECHNO" SOUNDS OF THE 80`S AND MADE AN INTERESTING COCKTAIL OF "OLD AND NEW" INGREDIENTS THAT REALLY SURPRISED THE POP MUSIC FOLLOWERS, AND EVEN THE MOST HARDCORE FANS OF HIS INITIAL RECORDINGS, AND ALLOWED HIM TO GAIN A NEW WIDE GENERATION OF YOUNG FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD (FOR EXAMPLE, HERE IN MY COUNTRY HE BEGAN TO BE FAMOUS WHEN PEOPLE HEARD THE ALBUM...)

POINTS OF INTEREST: "BLACK CARS", "HURTS TO BE IN LOVE" (A CLASSIC OF ALL TIMES POP MUSIC),"IMAGINATION" & ALL THE REST OF THIS EXCELLENT RECORDING THAT DEFINED THE NEW SOUND AND APROACH OF GINO FOR HIS GOOD TASTING POP SONGWRITING.

.......2006-10-05

Really enjoyable psychadelic record that is even more enjoyable if you can appreciate the sound collage. I can't do the long piece, The Bark and Below It, but the experiments are interesting and interwoven. You really probably won't "get" them until you've heard them quite a bit, but the album itself is enjoyable, and it is rewarding when the collage becomes cohesive after you've spent time listening to and enjoying the music.

The album flows differently than Cubist Castle, but the individual songs are stronger. Grass Canons is a haunting standout track.

Not dazzling.......2005-01-28

After reading the deluge of drool from fans of this band I cracked and bought the album . Got to admit to a certain amount of disappointment .
The 'Sleepy Company ' track towers above the other offerings here . So much that might be good gets lost in the messy overall sound . The long tune free 'experimental' sections are hardly groundbreaking and the tendency to reproduce the Beatles and Beach Boys sometimes descends into pastiche in a way that say , the brilliant Nick Nicely psych album does'nt.
I love my psychedelia and I won't stop checking out what excitable fans put in their reviews and there is a lot of effort and ideas here but c'mon guys .
'Cubist Castle' the previous OTC album would be a better choice for first time buyers.

"Black Foliage" is a harpsichord canvas.......2004-11-28

Hardly anybody does psychedelic space-rock the way the Olivia Tremor Control do -- and their second album "Black Foliage: Animation Music" is no exception. It sounds like the soundtrack to an acid party on Mars, with their elaborate tapestry of electronica, tape tinkering, and jazzy psychedelic pop. It's one of those rare albums that cannot be compared to anything else, only to itself.

It opens with.... well, "Opener," a wavery 25-second intro that slips into the sputtering Beatles-esque "A Peculiar Noise Called "Train Director" and the sweeping sweet grandeur of "Hideaway." Other songs strike different notes: "A Sleepy Company" sounds like a brass band getting drunk, while "I Have Been Floated" is a solemn little pop song with ghostly sound effects. "Another Set Of Bees In The Museum" is a fun little song that is blurred over by fuzz.

But the Olivia Tremor Control doesn't stick strictly to their own brand of psychedelic pop. They also dabble in experimental songs, such as brief interludes all called "Combinations," which appear to be tapes being messed around with -- the results are odd computerized vocals and random blips. "Black Foliage Animation 1" is a solid little tune that descends into bubbling, computerized chaos, and then gives up to the chaos completely. And the climax is "The Bark and Below It," an eleven-and-a-half-minute epic that starts on a soft little melody that is swamped by sonic thunder, only to reemerge among clangs, bells, electronic burps, a slurred keyboard melody, a xylophone, and what sounds like a heartbeat.

Listening to all of "Black Foliage: Animation Music" is a bit like a pleasant hallucination, especially if you listen to several of their odder songs in a row. But the best way to listen to it is straight through, without skipping any songs -- each one is a part of one huge sonic tapestry. The songs can be heard individally, but they lose some of their impact if heard alone.

The music is a bit of a dreamy head trip. Frontman William Cullen Hart takes charge of vocals, guitar and electronic twiddles. And he does quite well at all of them -- the guitar work he and his bandmates do is hugely entertaining and catchy. So are the brooding drums, theramin, and hints of bass, clarinet, melodica and violin. It's hard to pick out each instrument -- they blend together into a thick smokescreen of sound.

Hart's vocals are almost Beatlesesque -- he sounds a lot like Paul McCartney in some songs. And he's backed up by Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum and Julian Koster, as well as the Apples in Stereo's Robert Schneider, who add an extra dimension to Hart's singing. And the lyrics are hard to make out, but they have the psychedelic whimsy that characterized the first album: "We took a sideways glance and fell into the bottom of the season/we saw horizons and different paths away from here."

The Olivia Tremor Control were still going strong on their second album "Black Foliage: Animation Music." Denser and darker than "Dusk at Cubist Castle," this is an enchantingly otherworldly listen.

I used this CD to help me rehearse for the BIG production I was in, but it didn't match the libretto at all. I think there was one song on there that I could use.

Big for folks doing the Musical.......2006-03-20

If you're getting this CD to help prepare for your school or community group doing the musical, there are a lot of changes from the CD to the book. Aside from finding the book in a new key and some chunks added/deleted, Here We Go Again and When You're Big aren't included anymore.

Overall, the music's a little trite, but there are some nice moments -- mostly the stuff sung by the female leads.

It's Awesome, It's Amazing, It's BIG!!!!.......2006-01-22

My high school did "Big" my sophomore year, and oh my god, it was such a fun musical to do. I kind of forgot about it until my senior year, when I suddenly craved some of that music again. So I purchased this CD and I've been loving it since. They got rid of a couple of the songs and replaced them with others as the show progressed on Broadway, so I was suprised to hear new material (to me anyways), and for the most part, I actually enjoyed these original songs over their replacements that my production contained. This cast is phenomenal and the guy who plays Josh Baskin sounds so much like Tom Hanks at points, its crazy. It's a simple, yet a bit fantastic musical about growing up, and it's funny and romantic, and a lot of fun. I love all the songs, and it's a shame it didn't do too well on B-way. At least this recording will keep the music alive.

"This Isn't Me" is one of my favorite tracks, as it's a lot of fun and has a great beat, but suprisingly it was replaced with "Good Morning to Mom", which was only so-so. "I Want To Go Home" is a great ballad that Josh sings, and its simple, a bit funny, and the ending is the best, as its cute and sad. Another song they got rid of, "Here We Go Again", is a song Susan sings, and again, I like it alot. It has a quirky melody that I like. "Stars, Stars, Stars" is another great song, and is quite cute. One of the more popular songs. "Cross The Line" is the finale to Act I and is also very excellent and up beat, and makes you want to dance. "Stop, Time" is my favorite song on the album by far. Sung by Josh's mom, it is one of the more poignant moments of the show. Heartfelt, sad, and truly beautiful, it defiantely makes you appreciate your mom. Barbara Walsh sounds superb on this: she has a great voice. I love this one. "Dancing all the Time" is another good Susan song, and it leads into "I Want To Know" by Young Josh, which is another good ballad. "Coffee, Black" is another showstopper, fun ensemble song, and again, very comedic. "One Special Man" is Susan's ballad to Josh, and it is very beatiful. My only regret is that its only 2:21 so its a short one, and I just want her to start belting at the end, but no, its a quiet ending. Still, I love this one too. The finale is great too, and features an amazing duet between Josh and Susan. I love the harmonies they do.

All in all, this is a great album. Sample the songs and give it a try. This is a must have!!

a lost gem.......2004-10-14

i saw this musical at the local high school in 2001 and was plesently suprised i of course saw the movie and the only thing i knew about this musical was it didnt stay long on broadway, so when i saw it was i shocked this is a delight cross the line still resenates in my head 5 years later.

Ungodly awful.......2004-06-19

BEWARE. This musical is perhaps one of the five worst pieces of music I have ever experienced. I began to wonder if the composer was attempting to make the world's worst musical. Listen for yourself and enjoy the disjunct vocal lines, the desperate attempt at "fun music", and - worst of all - how the highlight of the entire show both dramatically and musically is the insipidly awful "Heart and Soul". Stick to the movie because this baby is horrendous.

This album (CD) was so disapointing. One song that is worth listning to is all this disc offers and saying that is a reach. Over hyped, no connection with your inner soul, not even spiritual. Kurt needs to take more than several steps back and find a different approach.

Was not as good as I thought it would be.......2007-04-01

Well.....Compared to kirk's past projects, this one just didn't do much for me. I think I only listened to it a few times. Then I gave it to someone esle. But I will still suport his future projects. He does have an anointed on his life and some thing to give to others.

Just Awesome!!! Awesome I tell you!!.......2007-02-25

This is one of the best Praise and Worship Cd's I have ever purchased. Kurt Carr has outdone himself on this one. I've been looking for a cd that you can just listen to all the way through and have the music just capture you and One Church does exactly that. It took me some time to purchase this and I actually did so on a whim and I'm soooo glad I did! The 2 songs I enjoy the most is Psalms 68 and One Word. Nice job Kurt.

One Church Project.......2006-10-10

This album was recorded live at the West Los Angeles Church Of God In Christ (COGIC) back in July of 2004 and I am telling you the Americans do know how to record a live album in contrast to some of the British live projects.

This album is the type of album you play when you are feeling a bit down, discourage, disappointed or sick and I promise before you no it you will start singing and begin to praise your way to victory Amen. From the title of the album alone you know it is time for nothing but ministry. Lets just look at the song titles alone such as Reign: Hallelujah: God Great God: Psalm 68: Power Praise: God Blocked it: Nikki's Praise: One World: Intro: Speak Lord Chant: If I tell God: Why not trust God again: Be Grateful: My Time for God's Favour: Something happens: They Didn't Know: The album introduces so much great leads on each track with Kurt Carr or should I say Minister Kurt Carr ministry over the track just like the King of Gospel music himself Sir Kirk Franklin. The album has a global feel to because it includes sound from Albania and Africa which I most say that it blends in nicely. The outstanding track has to be the remix of the old classic My Time for God's Favour.

Just check it out. Downside from our perspective this album is strictly for Christians because it will be difficult for none Christians to relate. Remember that Dancity's mission is to promote Gospel music to the world

C'mon...It's Kurt Carr!.......2006-07-18

I have enjoyed Kurt's music in the past and it was just hard to imagine him being able to keep up the awesome work. But, he did. Believe me, the whole cd is great. Every song seems to flow right into the other and they are SO encouraging. If your down and feeling like you've given much and gotten back little, in addition to prayer, listen to this cd! Where your prayer may be "Woe is me", after listening to this cd it'll be nothing but praise! Go on, what are you waiting for? It's Your Time for God's Favor!
