The cd is OK.......not great, but then I didn't seem to remember such loud music in the series.....I think I expected more of the troubadour and Carol King.

Great music.......2007-01-10

If you like the Gilmore Girls shows, then this cd is a must. I bought it for my 14 year old daughter. She was thrilled when she opened the cd on Christmas.

My First Time.......2007-04-01

I remember, back when my older brother got his first car and popped this cd in when I rode with him. I fell in love with this cd so much that I knew when the skips happened(and still do till this day) and was sad when he lost this cd. Years Later, I had my own collection but it was missing something. So I searched and searched and finally found it! I've seen the movie but I will always love this album. There's heavy, hard, laid back, funky, and truly bizzare, all are great.

Judgement Night.......2007-03-12

I hated the music on this CD. The only track I liked on the whole CD was track 2 and I love it - I play that track over and over.

Good soundtrack from a forgettable film. .......2007-01-10

If I remember correctly around the time this movie came out is when the film industry started to realize with a good soundtrack packed full of kick butt artists they could really draw in larger crowds and make more money off soundtrack sales. Well, this CD is one of many victims of that film industry marketing genius that came about in the early 90's that took some great artists of the day, and in my opinion made one of the must have movie soundtracks of its time for anyone who is a fan of rap, rock, metal, or alternative.

Sure the music itself is now going on 14 years old, but at the time this was one earth moving rap-rock masterpiece considering that the now classic Aerosmith/Run DMC and Anthrax/Public Enemy duets were the only real previous rap-rock collaborations in the public eye.

For the general Joe public I would say keep browsing and save your money. As for the fans of some of the artists that just need to hear those extra songs, like myself, or the genre that might be interested in hearing the tracks I would say go for it, but like any other CD not every song is a winner.

Forgot about this one.......2006-02-20

The movie sucked, but the soundtrack was a concept album that sadly went unnoticed. Before morons like Limp Biskit and Linkin Park ruined the rap/rock genre, this was probably the best all-around album of its kind, up there with the first couple Rage Against the Machine records. Standouts include what I consider Helmet's best song ever, "Just Another Victim," which is really two songs cut in half, with House of Pain borrowing the riff to make the latter minutes into great old-school hip hop. Slayer and Ice-T, Cypress Hill with Pearl Jam (the latter whom I usually HATE), and a brilliantly disturbing teaming of Faith No More and Boo-Yaa Tribe for "Another Body Murdered" (the first FNM song recorded after they fired original guitarist Jim Martin) are among the tightest and most intense here. Just stay away from the retarded title track by Onyx and Biohazard, it blows.

The only good rap-rock ever recorded.......2005-12-11

Good rap-rock is rarer than giant diamonds. This here is the Koh-i-Noor of the genre. What?

Such a terrific compilation of songs. Marc Dorsey's rendition of "People Make the World Go Round" gave me goosebumps! That's a good sign. A must have.

Crooklyn feeds the soul.......2005-06-12

This soudtrack means more to me than any other music compilation avaialable. Every song is carefully chosen to speak to the heart and mind of the listener and viewer of the Crooklyn film. It's a compilation of eclectic time-appropriate songs that portray the passion and atmosphere of the time period and culture it represents. The song "Oooh Child" has given me hope and encouragement through many of life's unexpected tragedies, and I appreciate every aspect of the music offered in this CD. I recommend it to anyone that enjoys a somewhat mellow yet passionate style of motown music. This CD is timeless.

Pure rythmic soul.......1999-02-17

Motown at its finest. A collaboration of songs that make you tap your feet and smile. From Ooh Child to ABC, Crooklyn will make you stand up and cheer (even if your driving). So pop in the CD, and stretch out your neck, because there's gonna be a whole lot of bopping to these Motown greats.

As a sequel to 2004's similarly packaged Rhino box No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion, this four-disc set tackles the punk/indie/modern rock of the 80s with equal panache. Subtitled "Dispatches from the 80s Underground," these 82 non-chronological tracks play like a great college station from the later part of the decade. Encompassing a dizzyingly diverse musical palate, styles range from the artsy Southern twang of R.E.M., to the sugary pop of Aztec Camera, the blistering hardcore of Black Flag, the ghostly techno of Japan and the chilly, noir dance floor attack of New Order. And that's just on disc one.

Sure, there are some omissions, but the box does a remarkable job balancing more popular acts such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Cure and Echo & the Bunnymenwith cult faves like Green On Red and obscurities from the Lyres and the Three O'Clock . Even those who were radio fanatics during these years will likely find tracks they aren't familiar with, along with getting a flashback rush from those they are. A colorful 64 page book provides track-by-track background information as well as a handful of essays about the decade that approach the music from different perspectives. There are no public service announcements or aspiring DJ's to interrupt the flow and the remastered sound brings the music to life with crispness low powered FM radio could never rival. --Hal Horowitz

Album Description

In his notes for this passionately compiled box, producer Gary Stewart writes, "the diversity from the late-70s punk/new wave scene turned into a full-blown, variety-fueled, genre-busting orgy in the '80s...The music became, in the best sense of the words, more complex, more literate, a bit more serious, and as a result, made astrong impact on mainsteam rock culture." From funk punk to revisionist roots rock to hard-core to smart-ass clever pop-and every musical nook and cranny in-between-Left of the Dial presents many of the '80s' most important tracks. Savor the far more influential flip side of the "Where's the Beef?" decade's musical output!

Customer Reviews:

I Never Knew What I Was Missing..........2007-01-13

Having been born in mid-1984 and being only five years old when even the most recent of these tracks were released, I never knew most of this music existed. Of course, youth is no excuse for ignorance, and I've always made it a personal priority to seek out great music from before my time, from kitschy lounge sounds and dusty 78rpm relics to the Russian Romantics and honky-tonk troubadours (just so you don't go getting the idea that I'm a music snob, I've sung along to my share of cheesy disco records.)

Older music, especially the rare "underground" stuff, isn't just shoved in front of you, a facet of every popular entertainment medium, bound to get stuck in your head whether you want it there or not. You've got to go LOOKING for it, as if on a hunt for an abandoned relic nobody else can guide you to. In the case of the 1980's, the problem wasn't that I didn't think to seek it out, but that I was under the false delusion that there was really nothing worth seeking. MTV and my local radio stations all lied to me, and many others of my generation. Not a big lie, but enough to shut us off from experiencing some pretty powerful music. We were led to believe the '80s were all about hair metal, pastel-clad yuppies in skinny neckties, and the "Me Generation." Well, the contents of this eye-catching pink box tells an entirely different story, one of boundless creativity, musical innovation, disgust with authority and convention, and unexplored horizons which still haven't been charted by commercial radio or experienced by mainstream audiences. This is the quirky, iconoclastic, progressive, and politically conscious music of the decade that somehow managed to evade notoriety in all but the most "clued in" of music-lovers.

Sheer curiosity grabbed hold of me and forced me to buy this set as a birthday present for my younger sister. As it turned out, I ended up listening to the set far more than she did! Something about the mix of all of these seemingly unrelated styles, artists, and musical approaches struck me like a comet, and I realized just how versatile, inventive, and exciting the music of the 1980's really was, underneath all of the MTV trivialization and spin. From these four discs, I uncovered gems from artists who would soon become my idols, namely The Replacements, The Cure, The Smiths, and the incomparably brilliant Pixies. They changed my life for the very first time on this set, and I shudder to think of who or where I would be without their influence. I know the seasoned experts here decry the set's "obvious" song choices, but I would implore them to reconsider whether or not this is a bad thing. For someone like me who never heard any of these songs before "Left of the Dial," these "obvious" songs have been an absolute revelation.

In closing, if you enjoy this music, have never heard it but want to, or even possess the slightest curiosity about what the "good stuff" must sound like, you owe it to yourself to hear this earth-shattering compilation. Also recommended: Nuggets, Children of Nuggets, and No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rock Rebellion.

FANTASTIC.......2006-10-31

This box is fantastic, amazing 80's songs!!! An interesting compilation of a lot of groups from the manignif era!!! Enjoy, probable you never will see these bands together in a box again!!! amazing!!!

Indulge in your 80s nostalgia.......2006-10-07

It's obvious from the long list of reviews that purists will quibble over which tracks from which artists represent their quintessential 80ness. But us ordinary folks, who just want a cross-section of the playlist from the alternate radio station we listened to in the 80s, won't care nearly as much. If you like a particular artist from this selection (and there are 82, so you probably do), you probably have several albums by that band or performer. I know I do.

Where this collection of songs shines -- and it does shine -- is in making you feel like you turned on the radio on a very good day. For every artist whose stuff I own (REM, The Pogues, They Might Be Giants, Kate Bush) there were three who made me say, "Oh wow, I hadn't even thought of that band in ages!" The Jesus & Mary Chain? Husker Du? Wall of Voodoo? In some cases, the tracks reminded me why I was willing to forget them, but that's what you get from any anthology.

Personally, if I had a long car ride coming up, I'll grab this set of four CDs and bring 'em along. I don't think I'd be bored for a moment.

Excellent listening for '80s music junkies.......2006-08-11

This is a very comprehensive collection of all the "unheard" classics of 80's alternative/underground music scene. I use "unheard" in quotes because many of the songs were heard on college radio, independent music stations, etc. I was surprised by the inclusion of a few songs ("Message of Love" by Pretenders and "Ways To Be Wicked" by Lone Justice) as I wasn't too sure how "underground" they really were. I'm sure some more mainstream stations played them. But anyway it was really good to hear the Lone Justice song again after so many years. And I was REALLY pleased with the inclusions of "Swamp Thing" by The Chameleons and "When Love Breaks Down" by Prefab Sprout.

All of the complaints about songs that were excluded, I think, can only be remedied by adding another disc or two. Four discs just isn't enough. I would have added songs by Throwing Muses, Shriekback, Comsat Angels and Wire to name a few. But overall, it's a great collection. And the booklet with pictures, notes, essays is worthwhile too.

The music that really matters........2006-07-05

I bought this box set when it first came out and it still holds a prominent place on my shelf and on my iPod. Broad blanket statements are often useless, but in this case, they apply: This box is the best collection of 80s college rock/alternative rock for your money.

You want Jane's Addiction? Sonic Youth? X? The Replacements? They're here. The Pixies? R.E.M.? Black Flag? Husker Du? You'll get them too.

You'll also get bands that always had a cult following but never broke out in their peak years or in some cases, not at all: Camper Van Beethoven, the Butthole Surfers, Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians, the Passions, Cocteau Twins, Bauhaus, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Happy Mondays.

Plus, classic tunes by The Jam, Dead Kennedys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Roses, New Order, Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Kate Bush are also included. This set has a variety of styles that is mind-blowing, and it proves once and for all that 80s music did not suck.

While it is true that this box doesn't include Dumptruck, Fugazi, Galaxie 500, Skinny Puppy, Big Black or Cabaret Voltaire...that's nit-picking, and the absence of those artists doesn't really hurt this set, because the quality of the music on the four discs here is so good you won't notice what's missing.

Buy this. Drop the 60 bucks. You won't regret it.

Album Description

Greetings from Imrie House collects 11 timeless power-pop confections, odes to both the good, clean and naughtily winking sorts of fun. They capture the former in the sunny tones of the artfully sleek first single "Just The Girl," and the shimmering "Catch Your Wave" (which layers Beach Boys-styled harmonies atop a contagiously jittery new wave melody) and dive into the latter on the young lovers lust-fest "Friday Night." And to prove those pop history lessons stuck with 'em, they even include a cover of the Tommy James classic "I Think We're Alone Now," done up new wave style.

Customer Reviews:

A great pop rock album.......2006-11-26

This album was pretty good. The first single "Just the Girl" is a power-pop gem. The band actually plays their own instruments and writes most of the songs. The only song I didn't like is the 10th track "Lies". That song was stuck in my head for weeks!!! My favorite songs on this album are "Good Day", "Catch Your Wave", "Friday Night" and "Angel to You (Devil To Me)". The last song "Say Goodnight" is kinda sappy but it's ok. Even though the lead singer's vocals are a bit weak I like his voice. Overall I really like this album.

AHHHHHHH!!! THE HORROR! THE HORRORRRR!!!!.......2006-11-24

Ladies and gentlemen, what's the deal with these losers? Seriously these are five grown men with the subject matter
and maturity of a 13-year-old. I think I figured out what's going on here, remember the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks and he plays this young pre-pubescent aged kid who turns into a 30-something-year-old and gets put into all these adult situations and it's fairly amusing? That's exactly what happened with all these wussy emo, pop, and pop punk bands. There must be some secret lab out there that is under the control of the record companies that goes around middle schools and lures them into their clutches and transforms them into "adults" promising them tons of women and money.

Ok so I'm obviously exaggerating but you get my point. All these bands seem to be just unsophisticated ignoramuses that haven't been farther than 10 miles out of their hometown and don't know a lick of what's happening in this big wide world, you know, kind of like a 13-year-old. Well that's the impression I get from idiots like these guys and other pop dribble like Daniel Powter (the dude who sings that abysmal "you had a bad day" song) and that annoying as balls James Blunt (well at least his name is cool) and I can't forget those Hawthorne Heights idiots who are my new "Public Enemy #1" in music.

I'm friggin' tired of these weak pop bands plaguing our airwaves. I mean it just has to stop right now. I thought the boy band era was over but now we essentially have a boy band with guitars disguised as a rock group. I know I sound like a broken record but I haven't written a review in awhile and I needed to vent some anger in a non-violent way. Would you rather I went around blasting away people like this with an AK? Exactly.

But why single these guys out? It's because at work they have the Muzak system set to play every single piece of turd pop song of this decade for the 8 hours I'm there EVERY DAY and one of the songs that's especially grating on my poor brain is this one. I'm complaining because if all of you had to listen to blistering "noisy" metal for 8 hours (the stuff I love) I'm sure you'd be pretty annoyed as well. Actually tonight while listening to this for the 20 billionth time I decided to pull a "Weird Al" and parody their hit "Just the Girl". I gave the song a much more appropriate theme since it's obvious these guys are all pretty homosexual, well I hope you like it! It's called "Just the @#$". Homozon won't let me say it but I'll give you a hint: it's a pejorative term for gays that rhymes with BAG.

He's hot and all the girls want him but he always says "no"
he even pushed me off the runway at our last fashion show
He laughs at my wardrobe but I laugh at his big toe
but why do I desire him? I just don't know

Chorus:

cause his milk tastes sweet
I get a hard on every time we meet
I can't help myself
but to throw myself over him
he's a beast in bed
his d**k slays me dead
and when we're done I always come back for more
because he's just the F** I'm looking for!

he can't shoot a basket to save his life
he can't even throw a ball farther than my bud Jim's wife
in fact he's one of the most effeminate people I've ever met
but the thought of his body always makes me wet

(chorus)

behind closed doors I'm his clandestine lover
he'd never tell anyone not even his mother
in public he looks away from me with his nose in the air
even when I talk to him he acts as if he doesn't care

why he's so ashamed of me outside I'll never know
maybe it's my high pitched voice or my lack of sophistication
but whenever he's busy at night I resort to mast*rb*tion

(chorus x2)

See how easy it is to make a pop song? I made this over a 30 minute period at the most. But where's all my money and success? I won't get any, oh well. At least I have some sanity. By the way, they're forcing me to edit that one word above...it's a shame isn't it? It's not even a bad word! I think I've said enough. PEACE OUT.

good music.......2006-11-13

i really like the music from this CD. all the tunes have a great melody and catchy tunes. my absolute favorites are 'pop princess' and 'catch your wave'!! i first heard their music 2 months ago and i can't stop listening to it! if you like pop/rock music then you'll LOVe this cd. the only bad thing is that all of their songs sound somewhat alike, but that doesn't detract from the overall quality of the music.

Surprisingly clever music.......2006-11-10

Most people are quick to dismiss such groups as this with a wave and a whisper of "boy band" or "pop," but I couldn't disagree more. While that may be true in some cases, The Click Five is anything but a boy band. They show a hint of punk styling (heck, the album art was lifted straight from British punk-pop) and are really more akin to groups like American Hi-Fi; they may be classified as "pop/rock," but that label is a bit too universal. Their music shows honest creativity, which is notably absent from and sorely needed in that genre. Most of the songs on this album are quite catchy, but not in a "pop-ey" way. Overall, I highly recommend this disc to anyone who likes mainstream rock, punk, or pop.

I know, I know . . . but you will love this CD!.......2006-10-28

You may say another studio produced boy band, but this CD is one of the most underated CD of the year. It's great harmonies, catchy hooks and hot boys in the band would make any school girl's heart swoon; but they are really really good. I've lent this to many friends and not one of them dislikes this CD. Even the ones that were saying, "oh lord, another boy band"! Move over Backstreet Boys and NSync, you're the past. Click Five is the present! It's just fun. And in this crazy world, we need this. Try it out.

Much has been made of Wynton Marsalis's early-career emulation of the prefusion Miles Davis quintet, an obvious homage that only the most blinkered apologists have refused to ackowledge. Marsalis has accomplished so much on his own that the out-and-out tribute to the classic Davis lineup that "Black Codes..." represents should be seen as a positive step in the remarkable development of an artist rather than an act of fraud. This is sublime music by the first Marsalis quintet, led by Wynton on trumpet and featuring brother Branford on soprano and tenor sax, Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums, Charnett Moffet on bass and Kenny Kirkland on piano. All of these musicians would go on to greater heights, but they're in the zone here. --John Swenson

Yee-hah...Wynton smokes 'em.......2006-10-31

It's maybe not too original, the last tune sounds almost identical to something Miles recorded around 1954 for Prestige (forget what it's called) where they turned down the lights in the studio so they'd get that "after-hours," chairs-stacked-on-the-tables feel, but this is still a smoker of an album, played with such passion that Watts and Kirkland in particular sound like they're about to explode at any moment.

While the concept for this album is none too original, the jamming is fresh and exciting. Wynton plays some of the most intense trumpet of his career, and while he never sounds completely spontaneous, the others around him are having enough of a blast to make up for his cool demeanor. Brother Branford is smoothness to Wynton's jagged edges, although at times in his Black Codes solo he starts to channel Conference of the Birds a little. Kirkland is so stunning one grows sad knowing what a loss to jazz his death has been. This was the debut album of Charnett Moffett, all of 16 at the time, but you wouldn't know it because he plays like an old veteran. And Jeff "Tain" Watts...well, you wonder how many arms he has.

There are no weak tracks on this set, though some of the arrangements maybe sound a *little* dated now (For Wee Folks stands out, with that airy soprano and whooshy cymbalwork that was so popular at the time). The best compositions include the title tune and especially Delfeayo's Dilemma, a great piece that should be a standard. Also notable is the incredibly naturalistic sound on the disc. The drums in particular sound airy and spacious as I've rarely heard before or since. I wonder why with subsequent albums the boxy, constricted sound so loved by milti-miking producers came back in. Do they really think that sounds better than this?

I'm not WM's biggest fan, but here everything came out right. I was hoping, when I heard this back in 1985, that this was the start of a powerful new direction. One can see at this distance it wasn't as "new" as it seemed then, and it didn't turn out to be the declaration of independence that it might have seemed like at the time. But it's still a fine album that will get your pulse pounding--at least!

Wynton's most important single album set.......2005-07-28

Wynton Marsalis is so heavily documented and so heavily opinionated these days that it's difficult to assess his work fairly. For everyone who thinks he single-handedly saved acoustic jazz in the 80s, another will say he is killing its creativity and radical spirit in the 2000s. Certainly I've wavered on this issue over time. Whatever your opinion on Wynton, Black Codes is the strongest of his early albums, before he took to preserving the jazz tradition. More than any of the other albums Black Codes strives to advance it.

The band on here is great. This was before Branford left to join Sting and the heads to the tunes are tight. Jeff Watts is a phenomenal drummer and Wynton shares the spotlight by using "Chambers of Tain" as a drum feature. Kenny Kirkland drives many of the vamps on this album and comps assertively and the bass player strongly anchors these tunes as well.

This album plays well start to finish and has some of Wynton's strongest writing. "Black Codes" with its low end piano as part of the head, "For Wee Folks" with its out of tempo opening and "Delfeayo's Dilemma", a tune that has been covered by artists like Kenny Garrett, are highlights in the set. Wynton nods to the tradiiton by concluding with a blues as well.

The innovations on this album are subtle. It's more a summary of two splendid jazz ensembles: the tight ensembles of the Jazz Messengers that Branford and Wynton played with early in their careers and the thorny modal improvisations of the Miles Davis Quintet. Some people focus only on Miles when assessing this album, but if you listen to Jazz Messengers albums like Mosaic and Free For All you hear how the discipline of this music and the vigor of Tain's playing are more assertive than the cool effortlessness of Miles' group.

I don't listen to all of Wynton's stuff so much now but I've enjoyed this album and I strongly recommend it as a high point of jazz in the decade of the '80s.

pretty good.......2005-05-19

When I first played this I was reminded more of VSOP from the 70s than straight 60s Miles (there is an obvious chain there). Try VSOP "The Quintet."

Not JUST Solid.......2005-04-12

Honestly, even if this was a complete rip off of Miles' work, which it clearly isn't, the group is stunning enough. I mean, Joe Henderson made a TRIBUTE ALBUM to Miles and it also won two grammys (and pretty much deserved them), and no one gave him any problems. No one will doubt that this quintet with Branford, Wynton, Kenny Kirkland, Tain Watts, and Moffet, was one of the best of the 1980s, and this album, as I and most others contend, this is probably their definitive album. Yet, I don't think really think this was a homage album to Miles Davis. If it was, Wynton probably would have brought direct attention to it. Clearly, Wynton's trumpet playing is definitely influenced by Miles 1960s work, but not solely. Yet other than that, I really don't any real obvious similarities between 65-68 Miles Quintet and this work, and trust me, I know Miles' work from that period very well. Really, the only copying going on related to "Black Codes From the Underground" was by critics who didn't know any better than to call the album an advance in Miles' music if they liked Wynton, or to call it a rip off of Miles if they didn't like him. I think a lot of these critics were either jaded by the extremely rapid acoustic jazz revival of the 1980s, or just didn't know much about the musical details of jazz and made a swift, dumb assumption according to other critics' views. Trust me, this should be one of, if not your first Wynton album. It is a group of great improvisers and complete musicians at their tightest, and at least for me, evokes a great amount of emotion. Also, despite what some say, this is a highly creative effort.

oh lord.......2004-01-05

First off, comparing this album to Miles is absurd; it would be like comparing Monet to Fleming; both geniuses, but 2 different time frames, eras, periods and concepts.

Black Codes is pure modern jazz energy at its most urban, refined, freshest, sophisticated and complex; it IS a seminal album because it provides the natural evolution and continuation of a hard bop movement that seemed to be floundering a bit in the late 70's, always seeming to have to fight the mediocre commercialism and superficialness that was plauging not only the music scene, but American culture then, and still today.

Dark, moody, hip, furious, dissonant, deep---very deep, ahhh, there simply aint' enough adjectives. But if words are meaningless, then how about one sustained goose bump of pure reverie and jazz joy when digging this album?

What is especially astounding are the virtuoso performances of an absolutely sick, monstrous rhythm section, and the horn and saxophone blowing which is a reflection of the best of improvisational recording during the last fifty years. I agree with the reviewer: don't walk, run and get it. It belongs next to Miles, Clifford, Coltrane and Bird, but put this one last (or latest) in the line-up.

Album Description

As most rock & roll bands started in someone's garage or basement or living room, Phase Selector Sound are two (ex?) punk rockers working out of their ad hoc home studios (heavily influenced by Radio Shack equipment). They create a powerful roots dub that is hypnotic, mesmerizing and trance-inducing. Very much in keeping with ROIR's long history of releasing the absolute best in dub by such artists as Lee Perry, Niney The Observer, Mikey Dread, Mad Professor, Black Uhuru, Badawi, Bill Laswell, Dub Syndicate, Ras Michael, Scientist, Yabby You, Oku Onuora --- and the list goes on! Produced arranged and mixed by Phase Selector Sound.

The Sound Bites Just as Good.......2007-03-10

Pleasant background cocktail party music with reggae/dub beats, I purchased it liking the sound bites, but there is nothing more to the album than the soundbites. Never does it get dense or goes anyplace surprising. Cover is better than music. Groups like St. Germain, or the various Parisian club mix albums, like Paris Under a Groove or Hotel Costas series are far better, and I wouldn't really recommend those either,unless you want "chill" coctail party music. Still I don't regret purchase becasue sometimes I just want a groove and to otherwise basically ignore kind of hip "muzak" while I do something else than listen, which is what I would consider this good for. I love that Summer in Paris, Hotel Costas, thing, but much prefer Orb to any of this to fill a similar need in my music. Actually, Orb can be brilliant at times. A couple maybe three Orb albums are superb. I took best tracks from three of them and made one great burned CD. Truth is for "chill" purpose,not that that expression conveys very much to me,I've never heard anything in 30 years that comes close to Discrete Music by Eno or Evening Star by Fripp and Eno. Compared to greats like those ... Well for a "chill" relaxing, after work space, they've never been touched to my knowledge. Sorry if lumping them in with this offends anybody. "Chill" never really made all that much sense to me as a label for music anyway. Sorry if this isnt' what you're looking for.

Hats off to dub-masters Joshua Elrod and Craig Allen!.......2005-09-29

I can only agree with previous reviewers, this is the best dub album I've ever heard, all categories... The coolest thing is that it bridges roots dub with modern dub like no other. The great Hi-fidelity dub series, for example, does on occasions reach the level of Phase Selector Sound. At the same time this album would easily match any dub release blood&fire could possibly throw at you! These guys takes dub to the next level. The production has a fantastic old-school feel to it, with a setup that is simple yet profound. This is truly beautiful music and the album doesn't contain one single tedious moment, every track stands out against the others. Phase Selector Sound kicks off at the highest possible level and stay there throughout the entire album. There's no end to the superlatives this album merits.

Worthy companion of the Hi-Fidelity Dub Sessions.......2005-07-20

This is, without a doubt, the best original dub offering I've purchased - online or off - bar none.

In the tradition of the kings of dub (like Augustus Pablo, Mad Scientist, Lee Perry, or the Professor), this album retains very strong ties to its roots (you'll hear snatches of old Upsetter tracks, along with some other nods to those old school influential artists).

At the same time, the album has a very modern feel to it, along the lines of the excellent Hi-Fidelity Dub releases (1-4). There's no question that this album is strictly roots, but the tracks all feel like they have had updating for the downbeat era.

The most shocking thing to me is that this album was released 6 years ago, and I've only discovered it in 2005! Do yourself a favour and purchase it straight away...before it goes out of print (come on...how many other products can you find that have ALL customer reviews giving it 5 out of 5 stars? ;).

The Best Dub Yet........2003-04-01

I've heard a lot of dub, and I own a lot of dub, but I've got to say that this is the best dub yet, I mean the entire CD. Personally this CD is #1 in my book so far. It's worth buying at almost any price. So if you like dub this is the one for you. I can't wait to see what he put out next.

Teenage Fanclub were touted as the next big thing for three minutes after its 1991 major-label debut, Bandwagonesque. That album is still the band's best--a sly, effortless approximation of Big Star, capturing most of that band's charm with only a fraction of the emotional turmoil. Six years and a few music trends later, Teenage Fanclub were still writing and singing sunny, optimistic tunes that sound great blasting from a car stereo. Songs from Northern Britain doesn't match the band at its peak, but "Ain't That Enough" is the best Byrds knockoff released in years, and "Start Again" sounds chipper enough to make you believe no romance is too doomed to be saved. The band's three equal songwriters--Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley, and Gerry Love--are all incurable romantics. When written on paper, a lyric like "can't feel my soul without you" is easy to make fun of, but when their voices melt together with obvious feel-good sincerity, only a cynic could complain. --Keith Moerer

Customer Reviews:

Being positive isn't cool , but it's easier to listen to .......2005-08-21

If you don't know anything about this band , I would say only that they will make you very glad you're not deaf .

If you enjoy harmonies and a 60's sensibility together with solid songwriting , then look no further .

The song on this album called AIN'T THAT ENOUGH is just fantastic - it is extremely uplifting and that is how the band's music affects me , though not all their songs have that sort of direction or mood .

I also recommend other albums of theirs such as GRAND PRIX , HOWDY and the latest one MAN MADE .
We need more uncool positive 'vibes' in this world and this band makes an important contribution to that , so they're actually fulfilling a purpose .
Buy and luxuriate in this band's world-view .

Their sound turns golden.......2005-01-20

I really really enjoy all their early work, and it's hard to pick a favorite from any of their diverse albums. But I feel that when they made this, they developed a sort of timeless feel that resonates through later listens. Upon first hearing it I wasn't that impressed, I thought this needs to be more spur of the moment, but then slowly and surely I realized it was great in a different way. They were experimenting and letting the sounds just simmer throughout the album, until you get to "Speed of Light" then you feel completely dumbfounded and trust wherever they wish to venture next.

Hornby opened the door..........2004-11-24

Like a lot of more recent Fanclub-fans, I was introduced to this album by Nick Hornby's "Songbook." The music in here was described as comfort-food, and the absolute antithesis to Suicide's "Frankie Teardrop." That alone got me interested. Other descriptions brought up Beatles and Byrds influences, which can only be a good thing.

Yet I held off for a while, put off by negative comments by some critics and local record store employees who seem to think that the band was playing it too safe with this one, trying too hard to sound pretty at the expense of their earlier, harder-edged sound. Then I spotted a used copy for five bucks, picked it up, popped it in my car stereo and realized just how useless rock critics and certain record store employees are.

This thing hit me like a bolt of lightning- pure goodness from start to finish. Unlike a lot of its grunge-era contemporaries, this disc actually *improves* my mood. And, like Nick Hornby when writing "Songbook," my mood is in need of improving pretty frequently these days. Without going into any detail at all, I can say that I identify with Hornby's comment that, sometimes, music should be a comfortable thing to turn to in a time of need rather than a constant challenge. Obviously not nearly every one of my many, many, many albums is what you would call "comfort food"- I have my share of music that's a bit tougher to absorb, and that will challenge expectations. But I am beginning to appreciate the value of music that you "get" right away and that stays with you over time like an old friend or a favorite worn-in pair of shoes. If you are too, you can't go wrong here.

bold statement: my favorite album.......2004-11-24

a solid record from front to back, packed with perfect heartfelt pop songs. the album revolves around central themes of love and home, which while bittersweet, are filled with optimism and never fail to improve my mood. this album has easily gotten more spins than anything else in my collection, yet i never tire of it and cannot help singing along at full volume every time. i honestly feel sorry for people who have not been exposed to this album, or who fail to take the time to appreciate its greatness. drop your prescription for prozac and pick up "songs from northern britain"

Pleasant retro folk rock.......2004-11-20

Bought this on the strength of "Aint that Enough" which was included on the Nick Hornsby Songbook CD-Book, and which sounds like the 1965 Byrds, the original masters of Folk-rock, more or less channeled (better than an imitation) very, very accurately. In fact, several songs sound remarkably like re-channeled Byrds. Several other strong classic influences are clear, including the Beatles, and even Neil Young on Mount Everest. One doesn't get too much sense of imitation though, more like homage, these guys sound quite sincere. They not vocally quite up to Crosby, Clark and McGuinn, or for that matter John, Paul and George, but the songs are cheerful, lively and musically sound.

So recommended it to older listeners like myself because of how well they keep the spirit of the original greats, and people too young to have even heard Mr.Tamborine Man or Younger than Yesterday because this is fresh sounding and musical.

Favorite Bond Film.......2007-04-26

Music score was great. Paul McCartney and Wings. Movie well fitted for Roger Moore, a great candidate for this role.
The Solitaire melody is dreamy and romantic and often moody.
"Bond Goes to New York' is sharp yet out-witted. "Live and Let Die", a sacrament to testimony. Too good to pass up.

Finally! The complete Live and Let Die Soundtrack.......2005-09-13

I have only been waiting for this for 22 years! Granted when this was first released on LP (Vinyl record technology, pre cd, pre cassette and during the horror period of 8 track tapes!),
Only so much music could be recorded on a record. This album finally satisfies all of us who wanted all of the music. Sir George Martin does a wonderful variation to the classic 007 theme as well as great action sequences with different variations of the main title and then some original songs. Sir Martin was the first to score for Bond since Barry who had scored all of the previous movies unavailable for this one. The music was a fabulous introduction to the new Bond Roger Moore.
This Album will stand the test of time when good music was being made for the series.

Best Sound Track Ever.......2005-03-20

I just love bond movies and being able to listen to the music from them is just ausome

Live and Let Delight.......2004-08-12

The remastered release of LIVE AND LET DIE is much improved. The previous issue was no different than the track line up on the original 1973 vinyl record -- or eight track tape, depending on your antiquated stereo. Not only does this release include additional superb tracks, some of the original cuts have also been lengthened and more closely correspond the the film soundtrack. George Martin, the Beatles producer, took the helm from John Barry in scoring the eighth James Bond film soundtrack. Though no one has yet equaled Barry's compositions for Bond films, which we have not heard since 1987's THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS, Martin's soundtrack was perfect for launching Roger Moore's first outing as Bond. Let us not forget Paul McCartney's brilliant theme of the same name.

The musical chemistry between McCartney and Martin is obvious as the title theme music is blended throughout the soundtrack. As a matter of trivia the movie producers originally planned to use McCartney's title theme with a female vocalist before the former Beatle showed his mettle as a negotiator. In the end, Paul McCartney and Wings performed the title track. LIVE AND LET DIE also proved to be a hit Apple/Capitol single as well.

There are a couple things missing from the CD. When some of the James Bond soundtracks were re-released a couple years ago they included selected soundbytes and an analog movie trailer. Apparently the remastered LIVE AND LET DIE soundtrack did not rate these extra features.

Oh well, Live and Let Die. In the meantime, live and go buy.

Why weren't these tracks included in the first place?.......2003-04-16

Yes, that is my sentiment....in fact, it seems in all the other re-mastered Bond soundtracks, the best music is left out, and Live and Let Die was no exception.

George Martin took over from John Barry to write the score for Live and Let Die and he more than admirably did the job. First of all, (take note David Anrold), is that he incorporate the theme song into the score even though it wasn't written by him...thus continuing the tradition of Bond music set by John Barry. Second, he wrote another piece for Solitaire which is also used extensively throughout the score. In all, George Martin wrote a score worthy of Barry himself....

Which is what makes the original release such a disappointment because many of the best music was left out. The re-master remedied that and includes virtually the entire score: the music for the pre-title sequence (gun barrel/snakebit), other notables are Bond and Rosie, The Lovers, Bond to New York, and many of the cues for action/chase sequences. There is an alternate cue for San Monique which I think is better than the one on the original release.

It would take thousands of dollars (or as many hours in download time) to hoard the most coveted songs from the eighties' top secret power pop bands, garage combos and post-new wave throngs into one collection. Or you can let Rhino Records, which masterfully conspired with writer/musician Lenny Kaye late last century to inflate and repackage Kaye's original Nuggets compilation, do the legwork. These four discs, though chaotically sequenced, scour all sides of the ponds to capture the vitality and innovation of mostly 1980-'85, introducing (or reintroducing) to-be-influential bands like San Francisco's Flamin' Groovies, New York's Raybeats, England's Soft Boys, Australia's the Church and Sweden's Nomads. Where else can you find XTC spin-off Dukes of Stratosphear, the La's "There She Goes" and the Bangles a half-decade prior to their manic Monday, along with the Cramps, the Plimsouls, the db's and the Bevis Frond in a single shebang—and with Rhino's ample, informative, transcendent liner notes, to boot? --Scott Holter

some hits, mostly misses.......2007-03-23

Unlike the first 2 Nuggets boxes which were both chock-o-block with essential garage classics, this one has about half a disc of essentials and the rest are YAWN!
And since when do rockabilly, surf music, sunshine pop or prog rock get included under the "Nuggets" banner? Those styles would never have made it onto the original Nuggets collections, so why this one? The spectrum of "retro" influences seems to have widened too far to make any conceptual sense.
Nevertheless I'm very happy to have discovered a few treasures I probably wouldn't find anywhere else. But at this price, not so happy!

'Children Of Nuggets:Original Artyfacts From The Second Psychedelic Era - 1976-1996' (Rhino).......2007-01-28

A nifty 4-CD box set, 100 songs from bands that were considered to be (at least) somewhat psych or garage-like rock 'n roll. Tunes from the likes of The Bangles,Barracuudas,Smithereens,Soft Boys,Fleshtones,The DB'S,The Lasts,Lime Spiders(still see their old MTV video every great now and then),Posies,the all-girl band Pandoras,The Cramps,Vipers,Plimsouls, Teenage Fanclub and The Church. That's JUST the bands that I do remember. Another should-have box set release from the people at Rhino. Recommended.

Barely worth the bucks.......2006-12-10

I must whole-heartedly agree with Fran, ( a real soul mate, it seems) whose well thought out and written review was right on the money. I was a college station DJ in the Bay area for 15+ years and specialized in this music and played all these bands. I loved the cool Swedish and Aussie bands of the 80's, as well as many U.S. bands doing the new psych/garage rawk. If I couldn't get them in for an interview, I'd get them on the phone. Anyway, I would only consider getting this set USED if I really wanted it for just the small portion of good/great stuff on it. These are albums and singles you'd have tough time finding now, or might pay a pretty penny for. The book Alec wrote (and he's extremely knowledgable) would also add some value.

Children of Nuggets is minor league comp........2006-09-04

This sophomore collection holds no comparison to the more influential Nuggets collections-- Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968; or Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond. Those two box sets highlighted some unknown and early punk and pop rock influences and proved as influential as Harry Smith's folk collection. Not so here. I counted about an 1/8th of the songs decent, but have to ask how often will you return to these novelties? Not much.

Killer collection.......2006-04-22

Having bought the two previous box set releases it was a no-brainer to pick this up. A great collection of tunes on this set. I wish other labels would spend the extra time and bucks to put out quality box sets like Rhino records does.

We had a BBQ out on the deck with the neighbours the other night and I had all 3 box sets loaded in a mega changer (12 discs total) and put them on random...people bopped and grooved into the wee hours and they all said they loved the tunes.
