I want to like it, but it's just not that good........2006-05-21

OK, I'm a fan of Hypocrisy and have a lot of respect for Mr Tagtgren, but I must admit I haven't managed to get into Pain, his industrial side project. There are always 1 or 2 great tracks that I like, but in general the albums just don't do it for me. I consider myself to be fairly open-minded when it comes to metal and am perfectly happy with attempts at cross-genre entities, but I do consider Pain to be a blatant attempt at commercialisation. Mixing the metal riffs, industrial dance-like beats with sing along choruses just stinks of someone trying to make a buck. But then Pain are releasing some fairly convincing material that one can't help feel will actually be successful amongst many crowds.

The confusing thing about "Dancing With the Dead" is the variety and incoherent style that could possibly turn off potential non-metal fans. One minute, there's a track like "Same Old Song" that oozes night club potential and makes me think Mr Tagtgren has nailed it. But then there are tracks such as "Bye/Die" which will be far too in-your-face for the type of listener that may have got into the former. I can't help feeling that he's not quite sure what he wants to achieve out of this release. It's kind of a catch 22 situation I guess, since he has so many different categories of fans to please. Hypocrisy fans will always check his work out and enjoy the heavier side (such as "Good Day to Die" my personal favourite), but then other fans are looking for the more poppy output. So he's kind of damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

The production is perfect, as if we'd expect anything less. Peter's vocals have improved and the guitar sound is fine (just too much chugging for my liking). The beats are not overpowering but have enough crunch to get the point across.
Looking at this particular Pain album, I think it is his best release so far. Once again, I don't enjoy all of it, and in fact some of it really doesn't agree with me at all. But there are many more convincing tracks present than on previous outings, so I'm willing to accept it as a decent album and recommend it to industrial metal fans.

He's getting closer to releasing something groundbreaking that no-one can ignore, but I don't think he's quite there yet.

pain - dancing with the dead.......2006-04-25

personally i loved this album but it lacked the ferocity of "Rebirth" and "Nothing remains the same". Peter seems to be writing the same songs over and over(bye/die, shut your mouth). personally i love his style but some of his lyrics are a bit old and worn out, but if a fast kick-ass rock/metal album is what you're looking for in the same category of rammstein or atrocity than look no further than "dancing with dead" but if you seek balls-to-wall lyrically taut death metal than i suggest you keep looking or try
Pain - Rebirth

A point to be noted........2005-09-19

While the shipping response and everything was respectable, I was disappointed to find that the CD inserts were blurry, and after comparing them to my friend's official copy of the album, I am 90% sure that this was a bootleg CD.

Goosebumps!.......2005-03-22

Goosebumps! That is what I got after listening to the new album of Pain. The project of mastermind Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy) unleashes an album upon the world, which is just of supreme quality. The disc is baptized 'Dancing With The Dead' and works on me like a stroll through a painting of Jeroen Bosch. Each step is another surprise.

As you probably know Peter had a stroke a little while ago and was even a couple of moments not with us anymore. This must have had a major impact on him, because on 'Dancing With The Dead' he sounds more inspired than ever. The album opens with a direct hit in the crown jewels with 'Don't Count Me Out'. You can hear Tägtgren tell off everybody who wrote him off after the above-mentioned incident. After that the first single 'Same Old Song' is up. Although this song was not written for this album but as theme for a Swedish TV show (but rejected), this is the first highlight of the album. A catchy guitar riff and a bombastic orchestral sound form the fundament. By adding the unique vocals of Tägtgren and some folk elements the whole becomes very compelling. This could well become a mega hit in the alternative club scene. Through outstanding tracks like 'Nothing', the NIN-like 'The Tables Have Turned' and 'Not Afraid To Die' the title track 'Dancing With The Dead' takes the stage. The very autobiographical track is filled to the brim with emotion. "Too much is never enough!" Tägtgren screams and due to the rugged riffs and the light-footed chamber orchestra the whole atmosphere becomes pretty doomy/ goth rock like. Thus becoming another track that stays with you for days. With 'My Misery' Pain goes of in a different direction rhythm wise and when 'Bye/ Die' sets in, it almost seems to be space rock in the vanes of Monster Magnet that is flung into the room. But with 'A Good Day To Die' Tägtgren makes clear that he is the same guy who is in Hypocrisy. All systems are go and a rock/ death metal hybrid steamrolls out of my stereo system. The job is finished in style by the band with the Prong-esque 'Stay Away' and the (also rejected) soundtrack song 'The Third Wave'. All that is left are goose bumps and hitting the play button again.

'Dancing With The Dead' is everything but a mediocre album. All kinds of styles are blended into a harmonic whole, which makes it more than the sum of all different parts. Although the true metal extremists probably will dislike this disc, those amongst you who love Pain and some off road crossover to other genres must run to the record store and check this thing out.

The excellently documented collections released by Ellipsis Arts typically focus either on geographical regions (as on the China: Time to Listen box set) or a geographic blur (as on Planet Soup). But this collection carries on the "states of being" focus begun with the Celtic Lullaby anthology. Death, the collection maintains, is almost universally treated with some reverential musical ceremony, and over the course of 17 tracks, we get a Southern Baptist eulogy, a Tibetan Buddhist sheng-guan performance, a Balinese gamelan orchestra excerpt, and a flute and drum performance from the Antanosy and Mahafaly people of Madagascar. Without exception, the music chafes at a purely musical--or purely programmatic--role, reaching for exultant force here, and quiet somberness there. It also works in almost each case to include the community of witnesses at a death ritual, either by antiphonal call-and-response singing or by deeply rooted instrumental displays that the community understands as a matter of cultural course (serious though the course may be). As is usually the case with Ellipsis Arts, this single CD comes lavishly packaged. It's slipped into a hardcover book with musical annotations and an introductory essay by Greg Palmer, who produced the Death, The Trip of a Lifetime television special. --Andrew Bartlett

Subotnick has always been on the cutting edge of electronic music, but the works on this disc seem a little bit old-hat; KEY TO SONGS presents the same sort of material, and holds the attention a lot better. If you can't get enough Subotnick, this will do; otherwise, save your money for the eventual CD release of the early classics, SIDEWINDER and UNTIL SPRING (we can always hope...)

Wonderfully fine performance.......2004-10-10

This is one opera I have been searching for for a very long time. I read about it in a book about Sullivan. Of course, when they wrote of the opera, they showed the scene, in drawing, where Rebecca informs Ivanhoe of the battle with the Black Knight. The drawing (based on the actual performance when it premiered) grabbed my attention completely. I just wondered what this composer could do with real opera (I loved his operettas completely, and they showed quite often Sullivan was quite capable of deep emotional pathose, even if in the end he was spoofing it more than reflecting it).

Well, all the years of searching and waiting to know were not a waste. Firstly, I have never been able to locate a score of this work (as I have done with many ancient operas or forgotten ones), so I was just as in the dark as anyone else as to what to expect. I was incredibly surprised, not to mention, thrilled with the results. No, Sullivan is no Wagner, nor is he even Verdi, but he is wonderfully beautiful in his own right. Why this work has not entered into the opera houses, I have no clue, excepting maybe because it is English opera, which never does well. Speaking of "ENGLISH OPERA", here we have a recording where for the most part we CAN understand the words (a thing I never seem to find in professional recordings of English opera, or American opera; they may as well sing in gibberish, for that is exactly what it sounds like -- perhaps the composers have no clue what works in their own language?). The performers, as we know, are not professionals, but rather semi-professionals. There are some uneven performances, and sometimes the characters are not quite as developed as one would like, there are even times the orchestra sounds like it lost the beat (but this is EXTREMELY RARE), the sound quality of the recording is OK, but nothing stellar, however, it is not bad either. Yet, in spite of these drawbacks, we CAN and DO understand the words, and for once a rather strange sounding English libretto sounds natural and unforced with stupid poetry that really leaves you laughing. These wonderfully dedicated performers, no matter their individual difficulties, give us a wonderfully vivid performance where we can finally understand the opera (like all our Italian friends do when Italian opera is sung for them). That was such a treat for me, to finally actually understand the words of opera sung in my own language.

What makes this opera such a thrill, at least for me, is the natural fall of the words and the music, especially in the recitatives. Unlike most English opera where the musical line sounds completely foreign to the natural lilt of the words, Sullivan has an uncanny way of writing lines, melodies, and recitatives that flow naturally from the language itself. That was a really exciting experience to endure. For once, I didn't wish that someone would teach the composers to listen to the flow of English to gain an insight into melody. Maybe it was all those operettas that he wrote prior to this "serios opera" that taught him what he knew, or maybe, he just had a good ear for his own language and enough sense to know that trying to graft Italian or German musical idioms onto things just wasn't the correct choice.

Is it a great work? Well, no, it will never get into the record books as a perfect opera, nor will it shove Mozart or Wagner off the stage, but it is really quite good just the same. Even with all the flaws this recording has, I am so glad it is out there so I could at last hear what music fleshed out that old drawing I saw in a book all those years ago. Though Sullivan's music is not anywhere near as dramatic as one may imagine it should be, it fits well with the scene and the over all concept of the work.

I really recommend this recording, for it, at least for now, is the only one we have (and if they make a professional one, I really hope they screen the singers well, no big names if they can't sing English so we can understand it; Sullivan, as with Wagner, you MUST understand the words or the meaning is completely lost). The entire recording is really quite enjoyable, and it doesn't disappoint.

Not ideal, but all there is.......2000-08-05

If you are interested in Arthur Sullivan's Music without Gilbert, this is one of the works you should have in your collection. Unfortunately the quality of the performance is inconsistent. The orchestra is at times good, at others sloppy. The soloists are also of varying quality. This is, after all, a recording by a semi-professional group. That said, if you are willing to accept the flaws, this is currently the only version on disc. Perhaps someday the BBC will record a version, as they did with Sullivan's "Rose of Persia". In the current recording, the most pleasing selections are: The Act 3 Scene 2 ensemble "Look where thy moody father walks apart", Friar Tuck's rollicking "Ho, Jolly Jenkin", The Templar's passionate scene "Woo thou thy snowflake", and Rebecca's evocative aria "Lord of our chosen race". Not all it could be, but it's all we've got.

Martial Music from the Age of Reason.......2006-07-16

This is a fine collection of less well known fife and drum music. The playing is superb. The Middlesex County Volunteers represent the collective genius and enthusiam of all the Colonial period re-enactors in this area of music. Although we have the standard "Yankee Doodle" here and there, its interspaced with many fine and certainly not very well known pieces from German and French sources of the period. The fifes have a stronger, fuller quality as noted by one of the reviewers above which gives them a better quality from the standard we normally hear in this regard. MCV has developed what is normally just limited Field Music into a wide ranging tonal sound. These guys also have smart uniforms and no doubt put on a great marching display. Look for them at the Edinburgh Tattoo very soon. With US military bands limited now because of service requirements groups like this will have a greater role to play for local and International Military Tattoos. They can certainly represent the USA every bit as well as the Old Guard Fife and Drum in DC. I look forward to seeing more from the MCV.

Great CD!.......2002-05-17

This is another great CD from Middlesesx County Volunteers Fifes and Drums. It has a good varity of songs with some great harmonies. This corps uses 10 hole fifes, so the sound is a lot nicer than with the 6 hole fife.

A Delight to Listen!.......2001-07-31

This ensemble's playing is very graceful and elegant. It certainly does give a flavor of the kind of music that was played during 18th century battles, military marches, and training exercises. Perhaps this was the music George Washington's troops heard playing when they were marching into battle.
