Her best!.......2002-01-05

This is Bethania's great masterpiece, and the album that made her a superstar. One of her most successful releases -- both aesthetically and commercially. Soft, romantic jazz-pop balladry with tasteful and effectively understated keyboard-and-string arrangements throughout -- it's slick, but in a very good way. This is as good as her torch song style gets, and the album still holds up very well. Features a haunting version of Chico Buarque's "Calice," as well as the transcendently sweet duet with Gal Costa, "Sonho Meu."

Very good for America fans.......2007-06-10

It's nice having these lesser known America albums available on CD, my only beef is it doesn't include (I'm sure for time) the Alibi track "Coastline", one of my favorites from the LP which I still fortunately own. Having said that, it is a good package for America fans.

A nice package.......2007-02-17

This is a nice collection of two of America's lesser known albums, 1979's "Silent Letter" and 1980's "Alibi". Neither album was a hit in the US but they are not bad.

"Silent Letter" was America's last collaboration with legendary Beatles producer George Martin. It produced a few minor hits: "Only Game in Town", "All My Life", and "All Around."

While "Alibi" went vertually unnoticed in the US, it was a big hit overseas. "Survival" was a number 1 hit in Europe and it contains one of my favorite America rockers "Valentine".

This is not a bad collection to have if you do not already own the individual CDs.

America cd.......2007-02-12

Great to have both of these albums on one cd,especially since no one seemed to have "Alibi" available since vinyl or cassette.

Great Stuff!!.......2007-02-19

"Alibi, Pt 2" is a great CD and shows Grays new writing level. It's a song that takes it's time to set the mood before exploding with Grays natural passion. The first track is a live version of "Alibi" done flawlessly. I bought it for the excellent bonus tracks like "Long Gone Now" and "Sacred Ground". I know enough to expect nothing but perfection from Mr. Gray and have yet to be disappointed. They are full of all the emotion felt through out the "Life in Slow Motion" album and should and could have easily fit on the studio album.
The last bonus is a directors cut of the "Alibi" video. It's amazing and goes perfectly with the emotion of Grays writing. It's full of the great stuff that should be on a bonus disc and a must for lovers of great music.

Bravo Mr. Gray. More Please!.......2007-02-19

"Alibi" is the first track off David Grays album "Life in Slow Motion" and a perfect example of his new level of writing skills. It takes it's time and sets the mood with the slow instumental intro then explodes with Grays emotional voice. You feel every ounce of angst in his voice from beginning to end. The bonus track "Tracer" is worth the price of the single alone. It's what made me buy it. I have heard David Gray say that he recorded a lot of songs for this album and this was just the tip of the iceburg. "Tracer" is a perfect follow up to "Alibi" and sounds like it may have been intended as a reprise. The first few words of "Tracer" are the last in "Alibi" so one could picture it possibly intended for ending the studio album. It quickly becomes its own song though and has as much passion as any other song on "Life in Slow Motion" The only drawback is that with all the extra recorded songs we hear of there should have been more as bonus tracks.

another great America effort.......2006-01-16

I think this album has some great songs. Valentine is a great rocker song and while it is not a usual America melodic tune, it is still a great song. You could have been the one is a classic. This is a must for America lovers.

gerry great, dewey less so.......2005-02-04

This album is pretty unmemorable. Gerry is excellent as always with the fairly well known and melodic 'survival'. He handles 'don't believe in miracles' nicely. The best are his two songs near the end of the album. 'Coastline' sounds like it is influenced by the beach boys, and is beautiful. My fave song is the gorgeous melodic 'one in a million'. Lovely ballad.

The other covers are just plain boring and I usually skip them.

Dewey's songs tend to rock more here than any other album. 'Might be your love' has a nice verse, but the chorus is repetitive.
'Hangover' is rubbish and tries to rock but is just plain embarrassing. And 'valentine' is just unmelodic and just not America's style.

'Silent Letter' was way way better. This is among America's weaker efforts.

Alibi for those early 80s.......2004-07-03

This album helped me enjoy long days of study during those early '80s, when I started Engineering studies in Neuquen city, Patagonia Argentina. No doubt Alibi did hit my soul with America's own style.

Very good.......2003-09-04

A very good album that went unnoticed when it was released. Only their second studio album after Dan Peek left, Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley make up for the loss of Peek by recording several songs they did not write. It works very well. While none of the songs became even minor hits in the US, several songs were hits in other countries like Survival and Right Back To Me. Best songs include Catch That Train, I Do Believe In You, and Valentine (which I think may be America's best rocker). One thing that may have hurt the album was the cover. While it is very colorful, it tends to turn many people off. They also changed their standard America logo.

Adrian Vandenberg - guitarist extraordinaire.......2006-03-07

Vandenberg's third and final release came out in 1986. This guy belongs in the same class as guitarists like Tony MacAlpine, Vinnie Moore and Micheal Schenker. Metal guitar with classical overtones - he is great.

One of my favorite ballads of all time is "How Long" from this release. Great bass accompaniment with the slow guitar sounds - it amazes me that this was never released as a single as I'm sure it would have been a huge hit.

The other ballad here is "Once In A Lifetime" that is also excellent. I'm sure Adrian Vandenberg probably got a higher paying gig with Whitesnake in the late 1980's, but I wish he had continued to write things like this - I really miss him.

This album is a good listen from start to finish. The all out rockers are "Dressed To Kill", "Fighting Against The World", and the incredible instrumental "Kamikaze". Vandenberg's fret work on "Kamikaze" make this a must-buy along with the ballads.

"Prelude Mortale" is a short instrumental of classical acoustic guitar. Put this one in the same league and Edward Van Halen's "Spanish Fly" from VAN HALEN II.

The rest of this straight ahead hard rock. I had this on cassette back in 1985 and it had not been available on CD's until Wounded Bird Records re-released this 80's gem a few years ago, with Vandenberg's other two albums. Can't tell you how delighted I was to see this again. If you see this at a good price, grab it - you never know when it will be unavailable again.

Very solid record.......2004-04-04

First of all, it's nice to see this great record from 1985 re-issued. The ridiculous import prices made me say "alleluia" when Wounded Bird re-issued it several years ago. (By the way, I purchased it from Wounded Bird for about $10.99 if I recall correctly).

This is Vandenberg's third and final studio disc. The production is pretty clear and the instruments and vocals balance well. The songs retain a strong flavor similar to those on "Heading for a Storm". Standout tracks are the uptempo tracks "Voodoo" and "Fighting Against the World". "All The Way" and "Pedal to the Metal" kick off the disc in a rockin' fashion.

Another highlight is "Prelude Mortale" which leads into "Alibi". "Prelude" is a solo classical piece from Adrian and it's terrific. Apparently, Adrian's mom loves his classical guitar playing, so he always tried to put at least piece on Vandenberg's records. "Alibi" is a truly catchy tune with a hooky chorus.

High energy Afro-Cuban-Jazz-Funk-what-else fusion........2004-08-10

The Motet quickly became one of the most popular bands in Colorado, and their popularity is now growing nationwide. Basically, you have a lot of talented musicians combined with a unique edge. That being a very powerful percussion base. Although their style seems to change every other month, and with every new release (now 3 studio albums plus this live album), the percussion base and jazz influences are always present. This album also features some singing by their former lead singer, Jans Ingber. Also has some Lara Maykovich (http://www.aphrodesia.org/index.htm) on some of the background vocals. Very high energy band whose sound is difficult to classify.
