The Gate

Editorial Reviews
Chuck Van Zyl, Star's End Ambient Radio, July 23, 2004
The Gate is a dynamic cerebral journey to an internal place defined by the individual.

Product Description
The second album from Terra Ambient, The Gate indicates a maturing of Jeff Kowal's artistic talents and an exploration of new sonic palettes. It is an exploration in deep, rhythmic drones, with harmonic overtone singing, bansuri melodies and thick guitar textures. "The Gate" was produced devoid of synthesizers or drum machines. All instruments and instrument samples were recorded live and deconstructed with processing.

The Gate

The Gate,Terra Ambient,lotuspike,Tribal, acoustic soundscapes and deep, dark drones; ancient, mythic blends of hand percussion, guitar, Bansuri, didgeridoo and voice.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE LOVE LOVE this CD!!!.......2007-08-04

I have not purchased a CD in a VERY LONG TIME that I have listened to as much as this one! I don't become bored of it and many of the songs just stick in my head throughout the day! I'm in process of buying Jenny Owen Youngs CD from Amazon right now although there many great artists on here (yes, eclectic indeed!).

5 out of 5 stars Quirky and fun mix of tunes.......2007-03-10

When I played this I just got happy. What an eclectic mix of great songs. Not unlike the show.

4 out of 5 stars Cool crazy tunes -no pruning required!.......2007-01-09

Geat CD filled with cool and crazy tunes you are unlikely to hear anywhere else. It lost a star for me for two reasons-I prefer the original version of "little boxes" and am not a great fan of cover versions, and secondly because there is one track I dislike enough that I skip over it every time-a strangely dicordant and jarring anomaly considering the other great music selected for this album. I own both WEEDS original soundtrack CD's and spin them endlessly!

5 out of 5 stars Seventies Soul Starter-Kit.......2007-08-02

I'm embarrassed to admit that this fine film came and went without my getting up off my rusty-dusty to go and see it. I recently rented the DVD, and I recommend you do the same. The soundtrack is like a primer of early 1970s soul records. I already own 9 of the 13 tracks here (I can hardly imagine a middle-aged black man who doesn't). But if for some reason you don't have this music in your collection already (maybe you're not 50 years old and black), for the love of all that's holy, get this CD. You'll be glad you did.

5 out of 5 stars Great soundtrack.......2007-06-12

The movie was really good. Too bad few saw the movie. The soundtrack transports you to another era. Thanks!

5 out of 5 stars Good selection.......2005-10-02

I bought this CD to use in my classroom as listening examples. I'm not just a super big fan of some of the performances, but they are all good and for the price you can't beat it. That's why I gave it 5 stars. It's worth more than it costs by far.

5 out of 5 stars thunderous applause.......2005-08-31


This is a who's-who of great pieces of music you have heard all of your life, and never knew the names and stories! I listened to it over and over in the car and had my own concert! A friend borrowed it to add music to his Home Movies and it was perfect!

5 out of 5 stars Good Music at a Great Price.......2004-03-06

I bought this CD mostly for "Entry of the Gladiators," which everyone will recognize as classic circus music. The performance on this CD (by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops) is the best available version of Entry of the Gladiators. The rest of the CD offers mostly excerpts of classical music.

5 out of 5 stars You will like this!.......2004-02-19

I had purchased an abundance of the "Favorites" collection and some were better than others.

This CD is at the top of them all. They may be short, but not that short. Wondrous music.

I can almost guarantee that you will like this music.
Well worth the price!

3 out of 5 stars Good for the novice.......2002-06-08

The recordings on this disc are pretty good. However, the editors selected only the *loud* parts, as indicated by the title. I was pretty disappointed to find that the pieces are, in many cases, edited to reflect the most famous themes, etc, instead of including the whole work. In general, I would recommend this to the classical music novice, or someone who wants to expand their knowledge of classical music in general. Those who already are familiar with these pieces will probably feel gypped.

Amazon.com

For those who want the most remembered passages of classical music's best-loved works, here's a package for you. On this bargain priced double-CD, you'll find music from 40 different classical composers; for the most part, the recordings excerpted here are some of the very best. Of course, you only get one Bach sampling (Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, played by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra) and one Mozart (A Little Night Music conducted by Herbert von Karajan), but this is still a nice collection--perhaps the starting point for a budding collection of classical music. This set's downfall? Unfortunately, though the liner notes discuss the evolution of classical music chronologically, the tracks are programmed in alphabetical order by composer's last name. This makes for some startling transitions! Emil Gilels's reflective performance of the Adagio from Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata is followed by the crashing cymbals and bombast of Carmen's "March of the Toreadors," a recipe for a heart attack if there ever was one. Still, there's something here for everyone and the liner notes even explain what movies this music can be found in. A nice touch. --Jason Verlinde

1 out of 5 stars Waste of money.......2006-01-12

Watch out for the volume leveling mentioned in another review. Surely the compliers could have come up with a better sort order than by composer. The change in tempo/volume between pieces makes it impossible to enjoy. My two CD's ended up in the trash.

5 out of 5 stars Great Music Compilation.......2005-08-15

This is a great CD full of many songs that you will recognize and enjoy. If you are someone who likes classical music but doesn't necessarily know which songs or which composers you like, then this CD is for you. You will likely recognize many of the songs as the classical songs you would have picked out to be your favorites.

1 out of 5 stars If you like classical music don't buy this CD........2005-03-11

Most of the tracks were chopped down to 3-4 minutes so some of the best parts of the compositions are missing. I don't know what I was thinking trying to buy 40 classical songs on two CD's. If you really want to enjoy the music you would do better to purchase a CD with fewer, but better quality tracks.

5 out of 5 stars A must for anyone wanting the staples of classical music.......2005-02-23

In my years of experience teaching Fine Arts to high school students, I know that the majority, if not all, of the music included on this album is commonly used in collge music appreciation courses. This is an excellent sample of truly all the "greatest hits" of classical music. My students enjoy listening to the music and have later told me when take their required music apreciation courses in college that they "already know it all" because of this CD! The recordings are clear, the selections are passionate, and the listener will gain a familiarity with all of the most commonly heard classical music used in tv commercials, movies, etc.
I recommend this album, along with the boxed set, "Age of the Classics" for anyone who is interested in becoming familiar with the most famous staples of classical music.

5 out of 5 stars A great compilation.......2005-02-09

This cd somes up some of the greatest pieces of instrumental (and is some cases choral) music ever written. It is a great starter for a beginning classical music lover or a quick and easy all-in-one for those of us who study classical music for a living. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who wants to love or already does love classical music.

5 out of 5 stars Straight Gate does it again!.......2007-07-31

I've only hear two songs from this CD: Early and Holy One. If they're any indication of the CD, this project is truly anointed. Way to go Bishop Merritt and SGMC!

5 out of 5 stars Praise and Worship at its' Finest. Get this NOW!!!.......2007-03-28

Bishop Andwew Merritt and the Straight Gate Mass have done it again. This will be one of the best choir albums you will hear this year. The music is contemporary enough, the praise and worship is anointed enough, and with only nine tracks on this album, quality is present throughout. My favorites are I came to worship, Early, Friend, Born to Worship, Amen, Holy One and You are welcome here. Basically, there are no bad tracks on this album and it flows so well, you are left wanting more. How many choir albums do that anymore? Well this cd does it. Buy it, don't burn it, and you can't help but be blessed by it.

5 out of 5 stars If only we had more "tyrants" like this one........2007-05-16

The only comparable orchestra to Reiner's late fifties Chicago Leviathan was another Midwestern ensemble a few hundred miles to the east in Cleveland (also commanded by an expatriate Hungarian Jewish maestro).

It's a toss up over which orchestra was better, but this disc features ensemble playing of such overwhelming strength and authority that I can hardly think of a Szell/Cleveland recording that tops it, especially since the RCA Living Stereo sound is far better than the shabby sonics of Columbia/Sony.

Glinka's "Russlan and Ludmilla: Overture" alone is worth the unbelievably low admission price. The orchestra is simply on fire and it was captured in fabulous fifties sound that hasn't aged.

If a little tape hiss puts you into a hissy fit then by all means avoid this disc. (And also avoid those musty old paintings in the Prado and the Metropolitan.) Otherwise just buy it and crank up the volume to something approaching the hundred-plus decibels Reiner heard as the CSO burned onto tape one of the finest recordings in the history of classical music.

5 out of 5 stars This orchestra really is a cut above.......2007-03-06

From the moment the brass open the Promenade, it's instantly apparent just how flawless and precisely this orchestra plays. This is the most perfect intonation I have heard on any recording, ever. I have to agree with other reviewers in saying that even being 50 years old, this recording sounds better than a lot of recent CDs I own. Everything is unbelievably crisp and clear. Congratulations to Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for an amazing job.

I should mention though, the previous reviewer is right, there IS tape hiss throughout the CD. It isn't loud and I for one don't find it irritating, but it is more noticable than on other recordings I have. The liner notes also explain it- "to preserve the quality of the source material during transfer, we rejected any process by which tape hiss or other minor imperfections in the source material could be minimized at the expense of the original musical program's sonic integrity". I am glad at this choice.

All in all, an absolutely fantastic version of one of the great masterpieces of the 19th century. At the absurdly low price of $7.95, I don't see any reason to pass this one up.

4 out of 5 stars "White"/Background Noise Problem.......2007-01-15

I was very excited when I found this recording of "Pictures at an Exhibition," however I have been slightly disappointed. Musically the performance is amazing, and is without a doubt the best that I have ever heard. Unfortunately, there is a lot of background/"white" noise in the recording that becomes very noticeable especially in the softer moments of the piece. It's almost like hearing nails on a chalkboard.

This "white" noise goes away by turning the volume down, however the music suffers from this as well. I have not had this problem with other CDs/recordings.

5 out of 5 stars Fritz Reiner Conducting- Chicago Symphony .......2007-01-05

Fritz Reiner brings out the best in Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition with full clear presentations of each section of the piece. The clarity of the recording is just great.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Totally worth it!.......2007-06-01

I love this release! This is not the Airplane on tour, they're stretching out in front of the home crowd, in the park for free, and as Paul's banter with Grace indicates, the good vibrations were flowing. An outdoor show has anomalies naturally, and I agree that Jack's bass is low in the mix until "Greasy Heart" when they hit their stride. However, Jack is also not playing a lead line as he usually does, really just relaxing and establishing the groove. The band is loose and not as aggressive, except for Jorma, of course, who is SHREDDING throughout. This all makes for a different sounding show, and that's a cool thing. "The Farm" is a fantastic highlight, with Paul and Grace really giving it a lazy country feel. "Good Shepherd" with Grace on vocals, yes! These two tunes are worth the purchase alone. It's not fair to compare this to shows back East, because this is the band experimenting with new tunes and new arrangements in a comfortable environment and having a lot of fun. It's an intimate side of the Airplane that I hadn't heard before. What fan wouldn't want that?!

4 out of 5 stars The other side of the flight.......2007-05-24

Hi there Airplane fans:

As an author of a Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a collector of their music for a zillion years it is rather unfair that it hasn't been pointed out sometimes in order to get something you have to give. The quality of the recording from San Francisco, May 7, 69 Golden Gate Park changes throughout the disc but.............

Did you know this was the first time "Good Shepherd" was performed live by the Airplane and Jorma did not sing one word! For that alone it is a great find if you didn't previously have a copy.

Even if your first choice is another live Airplane disc, please keep this in mind for another day.

Be well,
Craig Fenton
Author of "Take Me To A Circus Tent"

1 out of 5 stars Horrible Sound! Skip this........2007-05-16

It's not worth listening to. I was really disappointed by the sound quality. Any store carrying this should be ashamed of themselves. It really should contain a warning clearly stating that the sound quality is bad.

3 out of 5 stars ... this is imperfect, but for Airplane fans, it's a gift nonetheless..........2007-05-07

Yes - the sound is incomplete and unbalanced. But I never got to see all these folks together on stage at the same time. In various lesser combinations, yes, such as Tuna, various Starships ('70-80's and the last 10 years), Spencer with NRPS.
But this is Paul and Grace and Marty, with Jack and Jorma and Spencer! (at 51, I am too young... I missed out on being there).
There has been relatively so little live Airplane out there - "...Pointed Little Head", the nineties Fillmore CD, Monterey, the excerpts from Woodstock and Altamont.
So I welcome all the recent live Airplane re-issues. I recently also got "Cleared for Take Off". Like this one, it is flawed, and, yes, it didn't have to be that way, the tools/expertise are available to deliver much better sounding CDs.
And I am waiting to receive Last Flight, the full '30 Seconds of Winterland' Winterland show. And I have preordered 'Sweeping the Spotlight.' I expect both may sound much better than these.
But this show captures a special time for a special band. Early public playings of the Volunteers material. Yes it sounds like a bootleg. And I wouldn't suggest it to anyone who wasn't already a fan. But I have enjoyed it throughout...

4 out of 5 stars Play this on your headphones as you stroll through Haight-Ashbury.......2007-04-27

This is by my reckoning, the fourth officially available live performance by the classic line-up of the Airplane. We've had from RCA 'Pointed Head' and 'Fillmore East'(both 1968 concerts). From Thunderbolt there has been 'Monterey' (1967 - uneven sound quality but wonderfully inspired playing from a fresh, innovative band). And now we have our heroes performing a few hundred yards from their newly acquired home on Fulton Street in early 1969. 'Volunteers' was in the making at the time and the band were taking the opportunity as they so often did to preview material they were working on in the studio. The sound quality is very reasonable and both Slick and Balin are in fine form vocally - in fact unusually, Grace provides the vocals for 'Good Shepherd'.The instrumental passages are extended in keeping with the vogue at the time and of course no two Airplane live interpretations of the same song were ever quite the same. One word of warning however - although 'Mexico' (recorded as a single a year later) is announced by Kantner there seems to to be some delay and indecisiveness - and having been tantalised for a the best part of a minute by the expectation that we are going to hear a very early version of this gem, we then have our hopes dashed. Instead we are treated to an absolutely stunning version of an uncredited '3/5 Of A Mile In IO Seconds' This little anomaly really should have been sorted out by the record company. But please do not be deterred - if you love the Airplane and their fascinating history, then you will love this.

5 out of 5 stars a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-02-09

'The HYMN-a word derived from the Greek 'hymnos'-has been defined as 'a term of unknown origin applied from ancient times to a wide variety of songs in honor of gods, heroes or notable men.'
The founder of English hymnody is Isaac Watts (1674-1748), whose work in reforming congregational song texts culminated in the publication of his 'Hymns and Spiritual Songs' in 1707. Watts' collection was as complete and comprehensive a set of hymns as had ever been proposed for English worship and it raised the profile of the hymn sufficiently to overcome the prevailing psalmody. The great flowering period of English hymnody began with the work of the Methodist hymn-writers John Wesley (1703-1791) and his brother Charles (1707-1788). The Wesleys gave great prominence to hymns within their Methodist worship and published many books.
The modern hymn book is a collection of hymns drawn from various times and places. This most accomplished recording by St. Paul's Cathedral Choir presents 16 well-loved hymns from 'The New English Hymnal'. A great number of the hymns, which originate from many different eras and traditions, are given an extra musical dimension by John Scott's original descants and thrilling brass arrangements.
Over the years, I have found myself purchasing mostly the recordings of English choirs. They seem to have incredible vocal skills, perfectly executed phrases, flawless diction and some unidentifiable ingredient that makes them very appealing to hear. Of course, I personally enjoy the all male choirs sound; boy sopranos and male altos make the difference. This is a very appealing group of hymns!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Hymns for every one.......2002-12-01

As I have said already..I am from espiscopal church..these my songs are well know by me...these songs give encouragement when it seems that all hope is lost..these are tunes that are well received....they are also very simple for the every day person to gain strength from day to day..they will become your daily prayer.....

5 out of 5 stars Super Praise!.......2000-06-10

Praise The Lord offers the listener traditional hymns in the English/British tradition. the clarity of the voices make it possible for the listener to follow the words distinctly. The organ soars as accompaniment. the CD provides organ and choral quality for the novice and the experienced musician.

Well, Stargate SG.1 has finally ended after 10 seasons, and this soundtrack CD covers only the first two. I think there's room for a new CD or two, and hopefully the Stargate SG.1 people will get around to creating one.

Anyway, I've listened to this CD once so far and I was very impressed. The music really is enjoyable on its own, and I found myself listening to the Cold Lazerus music twice before I continued throught the rest of the CD.

Finally, don't think there isn't much music on this CD because of the small nunber of tracks. Many of these tracks are six to ten minutes long.

5 out of 5 stars Stargate Music Album.......2007-05-12

Great CD throughout. It's a shame the show is being cancelled after 10 years but this music helps to keep the memory on.

3 out of 5 stars Not as good as the 1st Music release.......2004-10-24

The best of Stargate SG-1 is infact a 9 track compilation of the 1st 2 seasons of the TV show. It's really not the best of Stargate. I rather enjoyed the 1st release namely called Music of Stargate SG-1 and the actual movie music-score. However I still enjoyed the music from several episodes of the 2nd season, most notable being the music suite of Hathor.

A fan of the TV show should be pleasantly surprised by the suites in this CD. It won't disapoint.

5 out of 5 stars one for the fans.......2004-05-07

This CD is really one for the fans. If you've not watched Stargate SG-1 before, then it will be very limited in its' appeal.
I personally enjoyed the CD, as I could relate the music back to the particular episodes in which they appeared. Some of the tracks are sweet and melodic, others are more ominious, so it doesn't come up short on variety.
The music sounds, for the most part, rather sythesised (which is why, if you are used to sprawling epic soundtracks from mainstram movies, I generally don't recommend this if you have never watched the show). Tracks are usually a mixture of synthesised sounds combined with more organic notes from traditional instruments, creating a very "sci fi" sound.
This is a great CD to work and study to as it provides great background music without being too intrusive.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet.......2004-02-23

This is a great CD. Just listing to it makes me feel like I'm watching the show.
