The combination of Mary J. Blige with strong material is one of the few guarantees of excitement in today's R&B world. Rather than stuff her lines with showy streams of notes like too many post-Patti LaBelle divas, Blige sings the song. Even when she breaks into melisma, it feels like the direct result of an overflow of emotion and not the bad habit of a vocalist steeped in It's Showtime at the Apollo! Like the 1994 My Life, Share engages in lots of self-affirmation in between its bouts with drama, fate, and the enemies of love--especially when the star takes pen in hand, as on "Keep Your Head." As if to confirm Blige's toughness, the strongest cut here is Babyface's over-it "Not Gon' Cry." --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Great Mary Album But No "My Life" .......2007-03-16

This Mary J. Blige album was great but wasn't flawless like "My Life", and "The Breakthrough". The album would've been better without " Searching" and " Can't get you off My Mind". The first half of the album was flawless but it ended on a good note with "Not Gon Cry and " Our Love". This album is definitely needed for the Mary fans and R&B fans.

Not one of her best..............2007-03-09

I had lost all of my CD's and am now trying to rebuild my collection. I'm a big Mary fan, but forgot that this particular CD was on the mediocre side.

..........2007-03-02

This could've been Mary J.'s best if she just cut off a few songs. The first ten or so tracks are absolutely flawless. The hits just keep on coming and you are just like... 'man, this one is a classic." Then as the album winds down, there are quite a few trite, extremely repetitive filler songs. This is proven with lyrics like "keep your head to the sky/ I don't need to tell you why." (That's the chorus). The Lox make an unappreciated appearance. Luckily, the album ends with the great "Not Gon' Cry." It's a shame that the executive producers of this album just couldn't have cut off a few tracks. Either way, I still highly recommend this album because it only has three or four filler songs and ten or more amazing ones.

Mary's reign continues.........................2007-02-13

The hit streak continues for Mary.

A great album by a great singer.......2007-01-26

Mary J. Blige is a phenomenal singer with a beautiful voice. I loved her ever since her first album. When I heard this cd, I fell in love with every song, especially Share My World. I don't own this cd, but I will. I can't believe it's been almost ten years since this album came out. This is a great album, and I can't wait to get it.

Customer Reviews:

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

Album Description

On his first release in six years, Miten delivers a heartfelt musical testament to the redeeming power of self-acceptance. Graced by Deva Premal's vocal harmonies, Miten's songs take flight, seamlessly blending male/female energy to reveal the healing balance that comes through true connection with the self. Miten created Songs for the Inner Lover as a soundtrack for the love and life experiences we all share. Insightful lyrics and refreshingly simple, melodic arrangements examine the many faces of love: from its manifestation on the physical plane and the master-disciple relationship to longing for meaningful companionship and the inner dialogues we conduct with ourselves.

Through their long and storied musical and life partnership together, Miten and bestselling mantra singer Deva Premal have created a true heart connection with each other and thousands of adoring fans worldwide. On Songs for the Inner Lover, Miten draws from that nourishing experience to offer a truthful and universal sentiment sure to provide healing comfort to all who are touched by love--or long to be.

Album Description

2003 release for the newage/world artists features 9 tracks. White Swan.

Customer Reviews:

I love this.......2007-07-30

I love this cd. it is very spiritually uplifting and I have several favorite songs.

Another opinion.......2006-06-14

I absolutely love Deva Premal's voice and CDs. This was a huge disappointment for me. I don't like almost everything on this CD. There's nothing remarkable about Miten's voice, even though it's certainly nice to listen to. His lyrics are banal. Sweet and heartfelt, but hackneyed.
There's nothing really bad about the music, but most of it is Miten by himself (the ones with Deva are far better, to my ear), and I honestly can't find anything to recommend it.
I only gave it two stars for the few songs that are predominantly Deva's voice.
As much as I am dissing this CD I wouldn't hesitate to recommend "Love is Space." So, if you're expecting something along those lines, don't get this as it's totally different.

The most beautiful CD to celebrate committed partnerships!.......2006-05-20

My girlfriend introduced this cd to me, and I have to say, I'm almost as much in love with this music as I am with her :) !!! It's a 'must have' for any couples who are truly committed to growing healthy partnerships of love. It celebrates the beauty that is at the heart of each one of us and gives such wonderful reverential acknowledgment to the divinity in all.
We've already decided that this will be the music we will choose for our wedding as we shared our first dance to the magnificent sentiments expressed in song by Miten and Deva Premal.
You won't be disappointed!!!!

Mits and Premsi are the bomb!.......2005-04-06

Click and get it! Get them all... Now! Bliss awaits....

Enraptured!.......2004-11-12

This is the greatest album. From the first to the last song, I float in a sea of love. I play it constantly and absolutely love it!

You and me, we send postcards to friends if we travel abroad. Caedmon's Call records a new CD. Either way, the effect is still the same. The people, places, and atmosphere of their experience as they traveled to India and Ecuador is captured in essence on Share The Well. Fortunately, the band shares plenty of self enlightenment not self righteousness on tracks like "Mother India" and "The Roses" as they reflect on third world conditions and how all of us struggle to find God in the mix. In addition, contributor and band friend Randall Goodgame helps pen some of the release's best songs on the title track, "There's Only One (Holy One)," and "All I Need (I Didn't Catch Her Name)." Other notable highlights include several delightful world-music tracks like "Volcano Land" and the haunting "The Innocent's Corner," both written by the talented Joshua Moore. And given the band's noted penchant for multiple instrumentation, it's not much of a stylistic stretch. Danielle Young also takes a welcome lead on some of the release's finest moments with the aforementioned "Mother India" and on "The Innocent's Corner." Clearly this trip had a profound effect on the band as we see more lyrical depth than ever before. While Share The Well may not generate the usual radio interest, longtime fans and curiosity seekers will benefit and enjoy this postcard from abroad. --Michael Lyttle

Amazing and stirring new sound for Caedmon's.......2007-06-29

As a longtime fan of Caedmon's Call, like many of the other reviewers I was at first not impressed by the new sounds here. I've never been much of a world music fan. But the more I listened to the album, the more I appreciated the message, the lyrics, and eventually, the new musical sound. Now it is one of the most-played albums on my iPod. All I Need (I Did Not Catch Your Name) is now one of my all-time favorite songs. Its description of trusting God amid a simple lifestyle still brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it. Share the Well and Mother India are also favorites, and I love the beat and message of Dalit Hymn. I commend the band for putting out an album that was such a change, and I thank them for challenging and stretching me musically and theologically.

The best "CCM" album I've ever heard.......2007-05-05

There really isn't much left to say about this album. Just read the other reviews, or better yet, grab a copy and listen. I've long despised the Contemporary Christian Music industry, with its narrow minded ideas about Christianity, music, and social issues. This CD might not right all those wrongs, but it is clearly a collection of music from a bunch of Christians who actually got it right. Christianity isn't just some pie-in-the-sky philosophy, Jesus was concerned with helping those in need and showing compassion to all. This album delivers just that by showing us the stories of the "least of these" in remote corners of the world and the people who went there to meet them and returned changed forever.

Musically this album is nothing short of astounding. The mix of Eastern and Western folk sounds, the variety of instruments and vocals, the soaring melodies and catchy hooks, the little interludes, all add up to a powerful listening experience completely unlike anything you've heard before. Even if "world" music isn't your particular cup of tea, the passion that Caedmon's Call and friends inject into these songs alone should be enough to win over most every skeptic.

The rest of the CCM world can continue to copy mainstream sounds and fashions and make their safe isolated community and crappy art all they want to, I won't give them a dime of my money. This album, however, blazes new ground and pulses with so much energy and compassion and power that it almost makes up for everything else out there. (And I'm not in any way biased, even if my screenname just so happens to be one of the tentative titles that were being considered before the band settled on Share The Well) This album really is THAT good, and anyone with a heart for humanitarian work and great music from all over the world needs to add this to their collection ASAP!

Not as good as their earlier stuff.......2007-04-22

This album is not as good as their earlier stuff but it is still pretty good. I'd borrow it first before buying it just to make sure you like it.

a must buy for cadmons call fans.......2006-08-22

I know very little about Cadmons call. The only cd, besides this one, that I own, is 40 acres, which I hear is one of the best. This cd is about the same. Actually, in terms of worship, I think this one is better with the song, "Jesus is All I Need" reminding belivers who listen to this cd that they need not money or riches as long as they have Chrsit.

The cd also does a good job in presenting some of the view points of the untouchable caste of India (the Dahlites I think they are reffered to in the cd). The Dahlit hymn is amazing! It has passion telling the prime minister of India to look past the stupid Hindu religion and force the others castes to give these people fair treatment! Also, if you buy this cd, read the lyrics! The little phrase repeated over and over again means "With God all things are possible". Just a good reminder that through hardship with God there's hope.

The rest of the cd will keep you entertained with a mixture of Indian music (music from India) and adult contemporary. The quality and mixture meet a good compromise leaving the ears not stail with dull tones that are the same, keeping the mind moving as it focuses on each note and word. Yet, it also remains static to a certain extent, keeping pretty much to the same style, the mixture of the two, allowing the ears to not get overwhelmed with what is being heard.

Basically, buy the cd if you want something worth your money.

incredible mission-centered music.......2005-11-04

this is one of the best christian albums i have listened to. It is focused on the fact that God is glorified through christians and the work of the cross. The music is very well done. Bravo!

What a Voice!!!!!!!.......2007-01-11

I have loved Glenn Yarbrough since I was introduced to this album as a kid. His interpretations of Rod McKuen's poems/songs are amazing. I don't enjoy him as much as a part of the Limelighters, but their songs are fun. If you're feeling mellow, blue, sad, etc and want to let those feelings out so they go away, listen to Glenn. If you just want to listen to a delightful voice, mostly soft and soothing, listen to Glenn. If ya just want wonderful music, period, listen to Glenn. The only album of his that I don't particularly care for is the one he did with his daughter, and that's a pity.

A nostalgia trip.......2007-01-10

For those of us old enough to remember, Glenn Yarborough's music echoes a time and place when music WAS music,lyrics had meaning and artists could actually sing. It was a delight to find that his work has been reissued on CD. This album has some real classics- and it would be very difficult to rate one track above another as each appeals in a different way.

ONE OF GLENN'S BEST.......2001-01-31

"When Summer Ends," "The Warm and Gentle Girls," "No One To Talk My Troubles To" - this album is one of Glenn's best, and that's saying a lot. Glenn is a singer whose power lies not in mere vocal ability or performance (though he has both in abundance), but in his rare empathy for people, for his ability to get to the very heart of a song. Once you've heard Glenn sing a song like "When Summer Ends" it'll stick with you forever. My mom, when she was dying, said it would make her feel better if she could listen to some of Glenn's music.

ONE OF GLEN'S BEST.......2001-01-31

Glenn Yarbrough.......2000-07-03

Of all the Glenn Yarbrough albums we listened to as a kid, this is by far the best! Glenn's treatment of the songs are great and the album transitions beautifully!

Who Knew?.......2007-06-10

I had never heard of Toshi until he came up on my Pandora Station and thank goodness for that.

He has a refreshing, soulful R&B flavor with a few great duets. It's a must have!!!!!

Totally Awesome.......2006-12-05

Toshi is underestimated in the US. This hidden secret is an international delight I stumbled upon while visiting in Japan and Australia. His vocals remind me of a mixture of John Legend, Eric Benet, and Babyface. The beats nice and his vocals are smooth. I gave this CD 4 stars because 10 songs is not enough.

Toshi Does It Again! .......2005-12-30

This CD is fabulous. Being African American I had my doubts when someone first told me about Toshi. I bought his CD "Sunshine Moonlight" and I was very impressed. This CD delivers the same soulful mix and a distinctive style that Toshi is known for. Don't pass up this great CD!

Don't Knock It Until You've Heard It.......2005-11-07

Got a tip from a friend (in Canada) who heard this album, showing her apparent appreciation, and I looked at her in contempt because all of the R&B singers that I know of are either African-American, or occasionally, White. So seeing this Japanese guy singing...I had my doubts.

I had to hear this album more than once, and found that I can step to it--a plus. Another one is that he's worked with Mos Def and Angie Stone. My fave tracks are: "Breaking Through", "Beating of My Heart"--almost this whole album! I also heard that he's got other albums out there. I can't wait to hear them!

Solid breezy, as usual, for those who can't get enough Toshi.......2005-01-03

Toshi Kubota's third album delivers more of the same -- solid, breezy loverman ballads -- and if you're a Toshi Kubota fan, that's a good thing. Toshi's style and vocal delivery hasn't changed much since his American debut about nine years ago. And the album delivers what's now expected of Kubota -- funky, finger-snapping, at times head nodding beats and keyboards, over which he delivers his breezy, almost thin vocals. Fans don't go to Kubota CDs expecting the deep baritones of a Jaheim, but rather, the higher, lighter tones as that of Babyface or Maxwell. And that may be where the only quibble lies with Kubota -- his voice is somewhat thin, but he makes up for his somewhat flat voice with style, light wails and coos. And you can tell he's trying. Apologies for making qualifications for his style, but as an R&B singer of Japanese descent, Kubota delivers the goods. No, he won't be threatening the hold that a Maxwell, Babyface or R. Kelly have on their fans, but for a man of Japanese descent recording R&B, he delivers solid CD after CD that easily rivals that of the singers on the middle tier of R&B. And if you want a nice, breezy walk of a CD, "Time to Share" is your bag. It may not pass heavy scrutiny, but its mellow, jazzy feel will have you tapping or humming along in short time. It's like a cool, nighttime ride on a Japanese subway along the electro lights of the Tokyo, or perhaps a cool walk in the blue of night on the jazzy side of town in your nightlife cities in Anycity, America. Think nightlife, club soul, and not deep, down, gritty R&B, and you'll be playing it repeatedly. And let your friends listen, as well, because it's "time to share" Kubota's name with them.

Customer Reviews:

Best and Worst of Savoy Brown.......2007-06-17

Okay, so Lion's Share isn't the best Savoy Brown album. But it's damn close and is one of the three least known. (Along with Live at the Record Plant 1975 and Boogie Brothers) It's a very even album with 4 outstanding cuts: rockers; Shot in The Head, Second Try and Wolf's Howling For My Darling and the pain filled Love Me Please.

Jack The Toad suffers from weak singing by Jackie Linton and mediocre songwriting. Buying the 2 together, I believe is the cheapest way to get Lion's Share.

Not World Music.......2004-04-21

Eh, it's OK I guess. A pretty new age album that I would play if I ran a day care center.

Samite strays farther and farther from his roots. If you are lookiing for the african touch, you won't find it here, but you will find typical Windham Hill tinkly piano et. al. that you'd expect from that label.

pretty sounds to share.......2002-11-05

At first listen this pretty and soul enriching album is soothing and filled with lullabies. But each time I play Samite's Stars to Share I discover new sounds and complexities. For a listenner addicted to the raw guitar sounds of Mali (for example Habib Koite and the regal Ali Farka Toure) this more polished "Windam Hill," Africa-Merican album, (by a Ugandan who now calls the U.S. his home,) is a welcome surprise. I have done many sessions of Yoga and meditation to these heartfelt and well-composed tunes. I highly recommend it as a gift to a young child, or for anyone looking to open up to other worlds of music. Africa is, afterall, where it all began. Why not go back, if only through music, once in awhile? No world music collection is complete without it. (Great bass playing and backup vocals by guests!)

An Evolving Artist.......2001-12-20

This lastest Samite recording shows an artist who is evolving and refining his craft. To compare his earlier music to this CD is like comparing a street performer to a polished stage act. Kudos to Windham Hill for taking a raw gem and polishing it so that it can shine brightly! The music is fresh and raw, yet refined.

stars to share by samite.......2000-03-06

I first saw samite on t.v. at Christmas time and was so impressed with his music I had to go out and order it the next day. It's one of my all time favorit c.d.s. Everyone that has listened to it wants it. I drive an 18 wheeler across the desert and I can't leave without this disc. It's therapeutic for my soul. The blend of exotic and traditional instruments along with his voice is fantastic. And that's my final answer!

jented

Meditative and enriching for the soul.......1999-12-09

I first heard Samite on Winter Solstice II of Windham Hill. The voice reached out and touched my soul. I play this music and a peace and love descend on me like colors of a warm blanket. He obviously sings from his heart and soul and experience. There is no need to know the meaning of the words. His voice is an instrument. Although purists may be put off by the Windham Hill Touch (a heavy touch) Will Ackerman, Philip Aaberg and Patti Cathcart add more texture to the music. Patti in particular does an outstanding job on Mountains of the Moon. One of my best finds of this year.

Review of CD "Come Share The Wine".......2005-10-17

I consider this to be almost the best Al Martino CD I have ever heard. The songs on it are marvelous and was not familiar with some of them. The sound and clarity are wonderful. Al Martino has been a favorite of mine since his "Spanish Eyes" and I think this is a great CD.
