From Amazon.co.uk

If the art of the female singer-songwriter revolves around coffee-table soliloquies then Eye to the Telescope--the debut album from Edinburgh-born chanteuse/guitarist KT Tunstall--is a pleasing mediation between the traditional demands of brooding egocentricity (espresso) and frothy commerciality (cappuccino). KT Tunstall has star quality. "Suddenly I See" is an effortlessly liberating pop fillip while, conversely, "False Alarm" redresses ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All" for losers who had nothing to lose to begin with. However, Tunstall isn't entirely convinced by the compromise ("I'm struggling to cater for the space I'm meant to fill" she sings) and "Miniature Disasters"--one of several strong numbers showcasing her aptitude for wrapping up pop tunes in either folky bluesiness or ponderous jazz--catalogues her desires for unfettered self-expression. The opening cut "Other Side Of The World" might sound like Dido without the giftwrapped grief (she's none too flattered with the comparisons) but Eye to the Telescope is spiritually closer to Carole King and Elvis Costello than Katie Melua. And that's no bad thing. --Kevin Maidment

Amazon.com

KT Tunstall's debut album Eye To The Telescope is the creative consequence of her inquiring imagination. "My songs examine and explore little specific emotions or situations or stories," she explains. "They're kitchen table songs, like a conversation between me and one other person. It's almost like an alien has been sent to get emotional samples from human beings and put it all together on a record."

interesting selection of music.......2007-08-02

I bought this cd for the song "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" after hearing it on the radio. KT's music is a little different, not hard rock, not jazz, just enough there to hear her beautiful voice.

Enjoy something different for a change!

Not another cookie cutter pop tart!.......2007-08-01

There is nothing manufactured or contrived about KT Tunstall or her c.d. Eye to the Telescope. It's melodic, beautiful and thoughtful.

I'll be keeping this in heavy rotation for a long time to come.

Wonderful Album.......2007-07-25

I love this album and there is not one bad song, so I can listen to it thoroughly. If you have not got this album yet what are you waiting for? Here is a tip if you liked James Blunt's Album Back to Bedlam then you will probably like this debut by KT Tunstall. In fact Amazon recommends this album if you do.

BTW when you first listen to this album you may not like it at first or maybe just like some songs, but after listening to it the second time it grows on you and you will absolutely love it. I know because when I first listened to this album I only liked half of it and feel asleep thinking this album was so boring until I listened to it the second time later in the day.

Just A Great Artist.......2007-07-19

Excellent CD, and a special singer/songwriter/performer. Expect more good things from KT and please do yourself favor by ordering all of her stuff. You won't be disappointed.

As fans of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy know, each film exists in two versions: the theatrical one and the extended one that appeared on DVD. This luxurious box set--which also comes with a detailed essay on the movie's musical themes--features the full extended score, so many cues not on the CDs of the individual movies are included. Granted, the majority of listeners will be perfectly happy with the shorter versions of the scores--it's a safe bet that most people can live without hearing, say, Ian McKellen's 35-second-long ditty "The Road Goes Ever On" at the beginning of "Bag End," or Viggo Mortensen's performance of his own composition, "The Song of Lúthien," within the track "The Nazgûl." But if you're a completist and/or a devotee of Howard Shore's pounding tympani and overwhelming choral compositions (featured particularly prominently on disc 3, a large chunk of which is devoted to a battle scene), then this set is a dream come true. Audiophiles should note that the fourth disc, a DVD, offers the score in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Fire up those speakers so the whole shire can hear. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

An epic film score receives epic treatment with The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring/Complete Recordings. Released for the first time on CD, the complete score for the first film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy contains more than 180 minutes of music on three CDs plus a DVD-Audio disc of the entire score in Surround Sound. Breathtaking and majestic, the 2001 Oscar and Grammy winning score compsted by Howard Shore also includes Enya's Oscar nominated "May It Be." For fans of any of The Lord of the Rings films, the Fellowship of the Ring/Complete Recordings is an essential experience.

Customer Reviews:

Beautiful.......2007-06-15

I picked up this set because I am both a LOTR fan, movies and books and I need music to help me work. There are some tracks that I skipped over, like the short little ditties in the bar, but many of the songs, such as the Elvish chants are easy to get lost in - its just too bad they don't last longer. The packaging really is well done, though the DVD disc was loose when I received it in the mail, but unharmed. I will have to wait until the price on the second set comes down a little more, but I can't wait for ROTK.

Awesome.......2007-06-12

This is by far the editon to get if you loved the lord of the rings soundtrack. It has every song on it from the extended edition. and the DVD-A version is very nice.

Excellent Music tracks from Movie.......2007-05-03

Brings the movie back as you listen to the full version of the track.

Complete?.......2007-04-07

This CD collection is wonderful; it has much of the material from the movie that was only included in the extended edition DVD, but it is far from complete. While it does have the complete version of "The Passing of the Elves" and two versions of "The Road Goes Ever On", many of the songs are highly incomplete and inferior to the originals. "Aniron," the theme for Aragorn and Arwen performed by Enya, is incomplete and the lyrics are hard to match to what is being sung. The sound quality for this song is even worse on the accompanying DVD, which is supposed to have all of the music in "superior sound". The song "Prophecy" is reduced to two barely-audible lines and "May It Be" is shortened and different than the original. $60 for this when there are more complete songs on the original soundtrack is ridiculous.

Great Collection, Poor Packaging.......2007-04-03

I realy can't add to what others have said about this set, the music is simply the best LOTR soundtrack collection out there! It is all here, and the contents of this set will make any LOTR fan happy and the music DVD is a great one disc addition if you want to hear the entire score in one sitting (to which I have done a number of times already).
My only complaint is the somewhat flimsy cardboard box that houses the contents of this musical treasure. Mine came damaged, and considering the price, I expected better packaging. This is a minor quabble on my part and NO, I havent returned it due to the fact that the music itself Is what I truly treasure, It just would have been nicer to have recieved it undamaged.

Mysterious Metaphors.......2007-01-19

"Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water"

The beauty in KT Tunstall's voice gives me shivers in the first song. She weaves in mysterious metaphors that are enjoyable to unravel.

The world she paints make sense in regards to emotions hidden and experiences well lived. With telescopic precision, she unveils the heart of emotional conflicts.

"The fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's to hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me"

The lyrics speak for themselves and KT's voice is a vehicle for perfection. The songs are playful, relaxing and you may wish you were in a coffee shop listening to the first two tracks. Then, "Black Horse" takes off with dangerous appeal. Coffee shop casual turns country and then she delves into sultry moods. The delicate "Silent Sea" is haunting in beauty.

With dramatic pacing changes and a variety of familiar musical comforts, the album shines in places and wanders in melancholy momentarily between energetic creativity. Other Side of the World and Silent Sea stand out as unique treasures with poetic appeal and seem to reflect KT's heart and bring out the rapturous elements in her voice.

If you enjoy thinking about the ocean, you may also
enjoy Evening Ocean's The Attraction.

~The Rebecca Review

Dislike "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree"? The album is FAR better!.......2006-12-28

Here's the thing: the song "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" was the equivalent to fingernails on a chalkboard to me (it seemed another annoying 'gimmick' song [those 'ooh hoo's] that seem to go over so well on American radio) and it's the very reason I avoided this album for an entire year. In my opinion, that song just made her sound like yet another raspy voiced singer from any bar band that I could see down the block.

But here's where things turned suprising for me. I found numerous rave reviews for this album (one that dared Aimee Mann to write songs as good!) and these finally forced me to listen beyond the one (and, to me, one dimensional) song.

Wow, what a happy suprise!

Seriously, if all you've heard is the one big 'hit' in America then you're really missing out... and getting the completely WRONG idea about Tunstall--this is music that is far more complex, intriguiging and, well, just plain better than "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" would lead you to believe.

Get it.

In fact, get the CD/DVD version! The CD adds a great song and the DVD will make a couple of things apparent straight away: Tunstall is even better live, and the videos illustrate that in the UK she's marketed a bit more truthfully, as the lion's share of the videos are UK specific and are of the far more superior songs to her one American 'hit'.

The DVD is worth the extra price.......2006-10-12

Before you read this, you may want to take a look at my (5 star) review of the "Eye to the Telescope" CD (the version without the DVD included).

This CD/DVD combo contains the "Eye to the Telescope" CD -- with a bonus track that's not on the regular CD -- PLUS a DVD of music videos and live performances of several of the songs from the CD. The bonus song (called "Immune") is excellent; and is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Most of the music videos are quite good (though I'll admit that the video for the hit song "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" wasn't quite as good as I had hoped it would be). But it's the live performances that really make this DVD worthwhile. As good as KT Tunstall is in the recording studio, she's even better on stage in front of a live audience. I've seen her a few times on TV and the Internet, and was very impressed with the quality of her work on stage. The live performances on this DVD are simply astounding. In fact, the live version of "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" on the DVD is far better than the studio version from the CD and the music video.

If you like KT Tunstall, then this CD/DVD combo set is definitely worth the price.

I'm not big on "double-dipping" either, but yes, THIS is an exception..........2006-10-10

I agree with the prior reviewer, reissues of albums, less than a year after first release, I am not a fan of. HOWEVER, if done well, it's totally worth the coin and selling the earlier version used...if you'll find a store to take it in, that is, haha. This is one of those reissues done exceptionally well, and yes, I traded in the older US version.

To be honest, this is the way the album SHOULD have been released in the US in the first place!!! I mean, it did take a year for it to even GET released in the US, but as they say, timing is everything. The album itself is a masterpiece really, good gutsy spunky singer/songwriter pop/soul/rock. 12 cool songs, varying in tempo and mood, from all-out rockers to introspective, soulful, atmospheric ballads. The album is not at all overproduced either. The big US "hit", the short and tight "Black Horse And The Cherry Tree" is not the only good song here, unlike most artists, espesh 1-hit wonders. I'm not saying KT WILL be a 1-hit wonder in the US (she's not in the UK), but it could turn out that way, like Daniel Powter. I love the big catchy UK hit "Suddenly I See" (which should have clicked here too...it was a natural followup to "Black Horse"), opener "Other Side Of The World" is beautiful, the way KT breaks into falsetto on the chorus, but my fave would be the EXTREMELY catchy, jangly "Another Place To Fall"...whatta song!!! I call her sound "busker soul", and she reminds me of a few artists mixed together in her own individual way. Maybe Michelle Branch meets the late great Kirsty MacColl??? You figure her out. Keeps her music constantly interesting, and I'm looking forward to hearing KT evolve over time. I had the original US album, and didn't completely grasp her, and then I heard KT's fellow Scotswoman Sandi Thom, whom I liked as well, thinking she was better than KT. Then I saw this deluxe version, and hearing Sandi's record again, I'm thinking I could be wrong, as something was missing. Well, I was wrong, KT IS better, and this package sealed the deal. The music clicked more now and I had to see the visuals to see she is the real deal, and what's cooler is she's completely unpretentious and has no ego; I'd get on with KT very well I think, she seems really cool as a person, like I'd love to have a beer with her sometime. Oh yeah, the bonus track on this version, the acoustic, spare, Live At Gaia Music in London, performance of "Immune", another KT original not on the album, is a beautiful song, and like the rest of this album, and a fave singer/songwriter of mine, Shawn Mullins, just KT's voice and guitar can just draw you in. And to think, she was self-taught!!!!! Makes sense actually, as true originals can never BE taught and that way, they come up with their individual style and sound, if you know what I mean.

Anyhoo, the packaging on this deluxe packge is nice, I like the cover with the overlaying of shiny details on top of that cool silvery B+W pic of KT. The extra pics inside are cool, of KT busking and with her band. And the expanded booklet is nice, with the extra pics and sleeve artwork of her UK singles, full lyrics, etc. My only problem, and it's a tiny quibble...the side spine was printed upside down. I had to cut and tape it so it's right-side up, some people don't mind...it's a slight, but fixable, problem with me, what can I say???

Now, most important in this package is the DVD (without it, you basically have the original album, correct??), which is 41 minutes and change, a nice value, not too skimpy. It's cool to have all 5 videos from the album, including both US & UK clips of "Suddenly I See". I hope they don't redo "Other Side Of The World" for US play on VH1, as the UK clip is fine and has a cool concept along with the lovely song that it is. And, the 5 live performances are GREAT!!! Three of them at Washington, D.C.'s awesome 9:30 club, with her full band; I was there for another show whilst visiting my relatives for Thanksgiving one year, I love that place. The other two are even better, at one of my fave venues: NYC's tiny intimate Mercury Lounge, just KT on acoustic guitar and pedals, and her drummer boyfriend accompanying her. What's cool is she's creating all the sounds at that moment...guitar sounds and layers of vocals & effects using echo. You have to see it to know what I mean. And KT seems so normal, accessable, etc...aka not a "star", which is probably how she likes it, as do I. The only thing I wish the DVD had, in addition to all this goodness, is an interview with KT, an on-the-road profile or a documentary on the making of "Eye To The Telescope" as many of these types of DVD have, oh well...this DVD is good enough.

This package, you really GET what KT Tunstall is all about...she might go down as a "1-hit wonder" in America, but really, who the hell cares??? Better to be remembered as an ARTIST. I prefer artistry, not hits.

KT.......2006-09-20

From her 1st Music Video in the USA. I knew this female and her way in the music was different and would somehow make a impact. When I seen her on TV preforming live, no track in the background, makes all the music in person; right there as she goes on. You know that's basically the read deal, and you can't really talk trash (could you do it?). You show me someone else that can really do that. Jessica Simpson? Ashlee? Britney Spears? Even females that play stuff, Michelle Branch and others have nothing on KT. You can even mention males too like Nick, or so. Whether they DO play something, or not, or have a band with them to perform. KT Tunstall is all in one! Like the Real Deal basically, lol.

I wanted to buy her CD, there was something about it that said "No, Don't buy it". I couldn't figure it out, Until now!! If you bought the 1st either have it as a back up, or sell it used. This would be the one to buy :) All the Vids, and some of her Live. If you never go to concerts, this is prefect for you to experience it.

Amazon.com

Director Sam Mendes's much-anticipated follow-up to his Academy Award ^®-winning American Beauty found him exploring the period gangster film--but with a moral fiber and undercurrent of family tragedy familiar from his Oscar ^® triumph. As he did with Beauty, Mendes again wisely entrusts the film's music to Tom Newman, a composer with an instinctive knack for getting inside a film's characters via innovative and often orthodox methods. As many of Newman's preceding scores have been rhythmically driven and rife with improvisation-driven experimentalism, its good to hear his equally distinctive writing for orchestra largely take center stage here again. But Newman's inquisitive musical instincts can't be denied, and his melancholy string writing is leavened first with subtle uilleann pipe flourishes that echo the characters' Irish-American roots, then with savory, yet ever-restrained touches of his own ethnic-defying instrumental color and rhythmic accents. It's another moody and introspective gem, seasoned with some lively period jazz (courtesy of the Charleston Chasers, Fletcher Henderson and his Orchestra, and Chicago Rhythm Kings) and a warm, final surprise: a duet of John M. Williams's autumnal title track performed by none other than stars Tom Hanks and Paul Newman. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Fathers & Sons.......2007-05-13

After losing my Father back in October, I began reaching for things that reminded me of him. One of the things I reached for was the score for the Road to Perdition. Although my Father was gravely ill the day I took him to see the film, it ended up being a day not soon forgotten. I am listening to the soundtrack as I write this review. Fathers and Sons.

Hauntingly Wonderful.......2006-12-18

This soundtrack is amazing. Like Shawshank Redemption, Newman's music colors the film, reveals character, and highlights themes. I've listened to this soundtrack dozens of times, and I still love it. From the mournful "Piano Duet" to the driving "Lexington Hotel", this is a great purchase regardless of whether or not you liked the movie.

Tells The Story.......2006-04-12

Wonderful soundtrack. If you've seen the movie, you can listen to these tracks and almost guess what or who they are written for in the script. I think Thomas Newman is the drummer of their composer family, because almost all of his music has the underlying ryhthms that make you tap to the beat (even though this is classically orchestrated music), with music that perfectly breathes the air of the times it was written for.

Road to Excellence!.......2006-03-14

I own both the movie and the score, and I have to tell you, this film would not be half of what it is without this gorgeous, mellow, and sometimes violent and aggressive score. It really carries the film, and I think it even surpasses it some. Newman really outdid himself this time!

MY MOM !!.......2006-02-27

I COME LATE TO THIS MUSIC!! I SAW THE MOVIE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO!! I LOVED THE MUSIC, BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF MY MOTHER!! SHE SAID SHE LIVED AT THIS TIME IN THE 1930'S. THE MUSIC IS HAUNTING LIKE SHE TALKED ABOUT HER CHILDHOOD. THE LOVE, VIOLENCE, AND HUMANITY,WHICH YOU FEEL IN THE MUSIC!! CLOSE YOUR EYES AND JUST LISTEN AND IMAGINE!!!

Customer Reviews:

The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26

I heard 'clear or cloudy', from this recording, on the radio recently and had to purchase it. It is strange but it is the sort of song that makes life prior to listening to it different from life after. I find it sad that so many people haven't heard it. There are also many other wonderful works in this collection. Given you get twelve well recorded CDs with top quality performances, this has to be one of the bargains of the age.

Please buy it.

A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

Good mix of films!

A mixed collection of movie music.......2006-02-23

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

Roky tribute.......2006-03-29

I hate to admit this but this was my first exposure the width of Roky Erickson's talent. To hear these songs done by bands/musicians that I liked, was to open a whole new door of music to me. Roky deserves better than he has gotten. Hopefully people will keep finding this and going on the discover Roky and other unsung heroes of music.

Lightning never stikes anymore, but I can't make it rain........2005-05-20

This is a tribute album to Roky Erickson. Erickson was the lead singer of the 13th Floor Elevator and later performed solo. Roky was (and is) a mentally disturbed individual, who wrote very strange songs. Here, 19 artists perform 18 of his songs ("Reverberation" is covered twice). Most of the performances are good and this album will hopefully bring attention to this cult hero.

One of the better "tribute" CDs out there.......2003-07-02

Probably because of the GREAT material. Yes, Roky was the mad (? -- he was put in a mental institution for a while) genius behind the Thirteenth Floor Elevators. Most of the covers here are exceptional and come from a variety of folks (ZZ Top, Jesus & Mary Chain, REM, Lou Ann Barton, etc.). I was lucky enough to see Roky soon after he was released from the hospital in the mid-70s (completely weird, he and Willie Nelson showed up unannounced and jammed at a free gig outside of Austin). I'm just pleased that so many artists did such a great job for a somewhat troubled soul.

Great compilation, even if you've never heard the originals.......1999-09-06

Somebody should make this explicit: this album features covers of The 13th Floor Elevators, a psychedic band led by Roky Erickson. As you can see from the track list above, diverse musical tastes are represented. The album never fails to entertain me even though I've never actually heard any of the original songs.

Album Description

2 albums on 1 Eye To Eye & Shakespeare Stole My Baby. The pop duo Eye To Eye was the brainchild of vocalist Deborah Berg & pianist Julian Marshall. They issued two albums in the early 1980's, the first of which, their self titled Eye To Eye, reached # 99 on the Billboard charts and sported a top 40 single, Nice Girls. That album along with their second release, Shakespeare Stole My Baby, have only been available as high priced Japanese imports until now.

Customer Reviews:

DANFANS MUST HAVE THIS!.......2007-07-21

I got the first album "Eye to Eye" on cassette in 1981 because Gary Katz was the producer and because the cassette "album cover" blurred vision of what appears to be a plane in flight resembled the artwork on Steely Dans' Greatest Hits blurred "train-like" image. Two plus two equals four?
Almost. It's not Steely Dan with a female vocalist but it sure is close. Every song on the original Eye to Eye is great with Nice Girls being the lead. You hear Fagen and Becker in the music, not in the lyrics. Deborah Berg has one of the best female voices you've heard. The music and guitar arrangements are right off a Katy Lied or AJA or Gaucho session with endings of some songs making you swear Becker's finishing it off. My understanding is that Fagen contributed for sure and it is clear he's there as well as Dan's musicians of that time.

Don't go looking for the Eye to Eye as a solo cd. This is a combo deal and the 5 stars come for the Eye to Eye tracks only. You can buy the combo or do as I did and buy the Eye to Eye album on itunes for $7.42. (receommended). If you love Steely Dan it is the best 8 bucks you'll ever spend.

I agree with an earlier reviewer, it took me twenty-five years to find this stuff long after I wore out my cassette. Like an idiot, I did not save the cassette artwork, but who knew it would be nice to have now.

Wonderful debut, so-so follow-up! .......2007-04-01

Eye to Eye's debut album was one of my favorites in the 1980's, with great pop/synth fusion and Deborah Berg's beautiful vocals I thought they would be around for years. I never bought their follow-up "Shakesphere Stole My Baby" so I was very interested to hear it when I saw the double CD for sale. Hearing songs like "Hunger Pains", "Life in Motion", "Nice Girls", "More Hopeless Knowledge", and "Progress Ahead" took me back to my early teenage years and my love of music. As a singer myself I can appreciate Deborah Berg's vocals, she has a phenominal voice and her background vocals are right on point. I agree with the poster after me that she does sound a little like Basia, but in my opinion she is the one who does a better job of interpeting and emoting on these songs, Basia bores me to tears! Julian Marshall's keyboards fused with a great back-up band make the whole experience incredible. You should buy the CD just for the first 8 songs, if anything. There are a few nice moments on their follow-up, but it just doesn't mesh like the first album does. The songs are too frantic-sounding for me, more of a rock and disco feel as opposed to the more new-wave/pop sound of the first. If it were just the first album on this CD I would give it 5 stars, but because of the follow-up being not as good I must give the overall CD 4 stars. It is definitely worth purchasing!

Don't be fooled.......2006-06-21

Don't be fooled by the musicians' pedigrees; this is overwrought art pop of the worst kind. The singer sounds like Basia with even less ability to emote and interpret the songs, and the grooves are just dopey. I come back to this record every now and again hoping to like it the next time, but no.

Inside Out.......2004-07-20

I found the much maligned (here, at least) second album, Shakespeare Stole My Baby in a cassette cut-out rack in 1983. All this time later, I remember where and when. The how was Gary Katz' name on the J-Card. Steely Dan had stopped recording, and suddenly, here was Katz. Had to check it out.

I was stunned and amazed. Deborah Berg was a voice I knew right away I could listen to forever, and the musicianship was every bit as precise and professional as anything Katz had done for Dan. "Guest" musicians read like a who's who of '70s studios. I was hooked. And I really, really liked the tunes. The lyrics were inspired in their simplicity - their anti-Dan straight-forward familiarity freed Berg's voice to dominate them - and the package was knee-bopping, toe tapping, finger snapping and anything but simplistic. Shakespeare Stole My Baby remains my most favorite cut-out rack find, and among my most remembered hooks and phrases at random times sources.

Oddly, again, at least based upon what I've read here, I never got into the first one. But a bonus is a bonus. Maybe living in my CD player for a couple of weeks will warm me up to it, too.

Either way, these recordings are unique, apparently rare, and cheap at any price. Get it.

Finally out on CD!.......2004-05-26

Great Jazz-Pop! Grab the CD while you can. I had these casstte tapes back in the day and had been looking forever for digital versions--now they're here.
Their first, self-titled album, featured the quasi-radio hit "Nice Girls." The album features Deborah Berg's great voice and Julian Marshall's smooth keys. While there are notable guests, the album has a very stripped down feel (sometimes it seems there's only voice, keys & drums) that highlights Berg's great voice but I prefer a more lush soundscape. Overall, tracks 1-8 seem a tentative 1st effort that I never got into.

I must respectfully, but completely, disagree with some of my fellow reviewers in regards to their 2nd (Shakespeare Stole My Baby) album (tracks 9-17). This is the true gem. Peppy and playful with catchy hooks and vocals to match. Combines Jazz & pop with some rock and even a dash of funk. My favorite, "TWA Sari," is propelled by great lead and rythym guitar licks from the phenomenal Larry Carlton combined with Marshall's somehow relaxing keystrokes. The sunny "Mermaind Man," the lovelorn "Falling for a Funny one," and the hopeful "Are You Listening?" also generate fabulous sounds.

The perfect record as day turns into night.

Music of the people.......2005-04-23

On Eagles Wings is most definatly inspired.... Latin Music is great if you understand itm but I have not heard any conversations in Latin lately. The most important aspect of liturgy is the participation of the assembly and if the assembly (or most of it) does not understand what is being sung or said What's the use? Catholic Tradition is great kept alive on CD for those who want to walk down memory lane but it is a Vatican 2 church......deal with it or get out and join one of those rougue churches that say mass in Latin and stop trying to move backwards. There is nothing more powerful than a singing actively participating church.......let's not stiffle the voice of the Body of Christ.

Good But Not Haunting Or Mysterious........2005-02-27

Hello, this music is good but it is not haunting,mysterious,Otherworldly,or timeless like Gregorian Chant or The Latin Mass now all I can say is that we as catholics threw out 1400 years of beautiful music for junk like "On Eagles Wings".Though To the person who said they prefer this to the pre-vatican 2 dirge music you are very close-minded and devoid of art and beauty and judging by what you said you are part of what I call the weak generation of Catholics who are only catholic on paper and have no sense of history for your very beautiful and mysterious church. Most people from that generation see the catholic church only after vatican 2 and you forget about the past councils and teachings of the Catholic church and it's history,I mean there is a reason they kept it so long it was for it's goodness(if it was bad it would not lasted 1400 years) as a priest on EWTN said to those who say "That is so pre-vatican 2" "So was Jesus." You see Latin Is very Beautiful and Mysterious language and it is a very catholic thing I mean whats more catholic then Gregorian Chant or the Latin Mass it's timeless like the church itself we as catholics need to start reclaiming are heritage from the likes of liberal priest and bishops of the 60's generation regardless of what they say there do as you please Mass is not in the spirit of Vatican II which allowed the use of vernacular in the Mass but it did not intend for Latin and Gregororian Chant to disappear it said to preserve it and give it, it's proper place that is what has been the intention of every pope since including this one they have all encouraged the use of Latin and Gregorian Chant in the mass.
How can anyone one not like it,it's very beautiful and it's been around for 1400 years how can one say that singer songwriter stuff which no one will remember in 50 years be better then this it's like seeing heaven and saying you prefer the world(alot of people unfortunatly do this.) Though to ansewer the question of it being to sad yes it is very somber and mournful but thats because the sacrifice of mass is a very solemn ceromony it was never meant to be celebrated in rock or jazz or polka or any other abuses by certain clergy. If alot of these ignorant catholics only knew what took place at the mass they would understand. You know you should be proud of the fact you are catholic because we have many gifts the protestants don't have(In the sacrements,the liturgy,the art and the music.) So I say to you now even you prefer the vernacular have respect and appreciation of what came before you in are Holy Catholic Church. Oh by the way I am 19 about to be 20 and Vatican II was a good thing it retouched are faith as Cardinal Francis Aziz said. Though I believe many people misinterpret it.
I suggest watching EWTN alot or really studying your faith and I like both Novus Ordo And Tridentine Rite.
More of a rant not a review but these songs have there moments and there are many Vernacular songs I like.

Dominus Vobiscum.
Et Cum Spirtu Tuo.

Very Good Traditional Hymns.......2004-05-30

It sounds like you are in Church, and that is what I was looking for. I especially like the Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones, Peace is flowing like a river, and Let There Be Peace on Earth.

Some of the other songs were better done by other artists. Like Shepherd Me is done better by the original Marty Haugen. This version is good, but not as good as Marty's. And I was not particularly fond of this version of Amazing Grace.

Overall I would recommend you buy a copy for your collection. The songs which are good, are very good.

Disappointing.......2004-04-01

This CD was not at all what I expected. It sounds just like you are in Church. Every song is accompanied by an organ and most of them sung in soprano. The tempo of all the songs is very slow too! I was looking for something I could sing along to, not put me to sleep! On the positive side, there are some beautiful songs, I just wish they were sung more "up beat".

Yes, these are great Catholic songs.......2004-02-07

I grew up with the music of the St. Louis Jesuits and this CD is a good representation of the BEST. In the spirit of Be Not Afraid, I am Near You, on Eagles Wings are all songs I loved in high school, college, and adult life. We sing most of these songs regularly at Mass. These are pleasant renditions of inspirational songs that uplift - in my opinion they are far better than much of the dirge music pre-vatican II.
