Product Description
World-famous Lakota musician, Pete "Wyoming" Bender, uses the sound of the Native American flute -framed by an array of ancient and modern instruments - to create the atmosphere of a Native Healing ceremony. Bender, a leader in the American Indian Movement, has won a world-wide following because of his use of Native and contemporary musical influences. Earlier CDs, such as "Canyon Eagle," have proven top sellers in the Native American genre.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Set!.......2007-07-01

I am a huge fan of Jerry Goldsmith. They did a great job preserving his vision. I can listen to this collection for hours. Great music!

5 out of 5 stars Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection.......2006-11-03

This is compilation of hit film music from one of the greatest composers in motion pictures. What is surprising though is the music not included like the Ghost And The Darkness, the 13th Warrior, Rudy and others. To be sure, 4 discs are not enough for a composure of this stature. THe recording, however, is an "engineering masterpiece" which makes the music even more enjoyable than when you first heard it at the movies. When are we ging to get the music that was omittd from this compilaton?

4 out of 5 stars Overall a strong Goldsmith sampler.......2006-04-11

Okay, this is a CD review, so the focus is on music, but I've got to say this first: this has got to be a contender for the ugliest cover art ever. I mean, come on...instead of a tribute to the composer, the cover looks like someone spilled a glass of merlot over a NASA photo.

Fortunately, even an ugly cover will not ruin good music. And the good news is that I'd say about 75 percent of the music is good....and on a 4 cd set, that's a lot. Like other Silva compilations, the strength of this compilation is the variety. There are selections from the big releases (Star Trek, Omen, Rambo), but there is also a healthy dose of tracks from the smaller releases(Under Fire, Lionheart, The Swarm).

Two examples come to mind. Capricorn One and The Great Train Robbery are two movies that are not exactly household names today, but are dominated by two of Goldmith's finest main themes. The City of Prague Philharmonic come through with terrific renditions. And there are plenty of other strong performances...a few being concert versions conducted by Goldsmith himself. Suprisingly, "The Wind and the Lion" works, which is no small accomplishment given the ferentic original performance of "Raisuli Attacks".

It's not a complete success. A few of the performances fall flat, particularly some of the more inventive scores. Total Recall is just bad, mangling the performance with poor percussion and synthesizer choices to boot. Also a letdown is the Klingon Attack from the first Star Trek movie. The Prague Philhamonic attempt doesn't sound bad--it's just that once you've heard the original soundtrack's "blaster beam" with enough bass to rattle your teeth...well let's just say Silva's version is a little tinny in comparison.

But I shouldn't dwell on the negative. Overall, this is a strong sampler of Goldsmith's variety. There are plenty of quality performances here, and despite a few omissions (noticeably Planet of the Apes)this is a very good release from Silva.

4 out of 5 stars Jerry Goldsmith - 40 years of pleasure.......2006-02-22

It was wonderful to hear Mr. Goldsmith's music that went all the way back to The Man from UNCLE, The Waltons, Dr Kildare, etc. And then to hear his music up to the present. The man was a genius!

4 out of 5 stars Almost the perfect compilation.......2005-12-31

Age has its value.... This sweeping collection of compositions brings back so many great memories. This collection shows how significant Goldsmith was for both the movie screen and the small screen. With such a grand collection, every reader can be assured that at least one movie or TV program they like or remember had Goldsmith's contribution. It was an amazing life and the collection well worth having.

However, as sweepig as it is, there are a few holes in the selection. "First Contact", one of the sweetest and richest compositions from the Star Trek is absent. "The Ghost and the Darkness" is missing and the "Medicine Man" music should include the theme song. By dwelling on several selections from the Blue Max, these were squeezed out. Three full and important movie themes got the axe.

However, all but "The Ghost and the Darkness" are readily available and not overly expensive as is the "Ghost" CD. This is a must have for the TV and movie music fan.

Before there was Hans Solo there was Napolean Solo, before ER there was Dr. Kildare. Jerry Goldsmith IS Sci-Fi. "Resistance is futile.. you MUST assimilate this CD collection."

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.

5 out of 5 stars Compelling Music.......2007-05-08

I purchased this music for tracks to be used in figure skating. Some of the tracks are particularly strong in rythmn for fast, tight foot work. Track 13 and 6 and 14 are very good for that purpose. The whole album is very good. If you are familiar with the movie you can picture each scene.
I highly recommend this CD.

5 out of 5 stars takes you to the jungle.......2007-01-21

This soundtrack is so good that whenever I hear it, I relive scenes from the movie. I guess that what a great soundtrack is suppose to do. Not only make a good movie better, but it stands on it's own as a CD. I would love this CD whether I'd seen the movie or not.

5 out of 5 stars The music is way better than the movie!.......2005-05-05

Although a somewhat mediocre film, the soundtrack is breathtaking. With so many beautiful melodies, it will take you away to a serene and tropical utopia. I highly recommend this to all lovers of original soundtracks.

5 out of 5 stars best movie score ever.......2004-12-22

The music from Medicine Man is alive with exciting melodies and colorful instrumentation. I've owned this CD for many years and it never gets boring. The score to the film Medicine Man may be stronger than the film itself, and the film was very good. Unfortunately, Disney, who publishes this magificient music, did not have the forsight to put it to sheet music. I am a classical guitarist and my son is a pianist and we wish they had.

5 out of 5 stars Medicine music.......2004-12-09

Jerry Goldsmith recientemente ha muerto, un recuerdo para ti maestro.
Esta banda sonora bebe de dos raíces mentales: la idea de paraíso natural Edén sintetizado en el hermoso tema andino de Rael y la destrucción cuasi-genocida de ese medio ambiente a manos de la voraz locomotora capitalista codificada en el hipnótico tema del incendio.
Como de costumbre la instrumentalización es de lujo y la sincronía con las imágenes de esta composición es en este caso magnífica.

No mere sales pitch, the title of this record refers to Pink Anderson's 40-year tenure as a member of traveling medicine shows across the South. It's not surprising, then, that his brand of blues is lilting and lighthearted, intended as entertainment much more than spiritual or emotional release. As one of the most significant purveyors of the Piedmont country-blues style, Anderson covers a broad spectrum of traditions for his material--ragtime, minstrel, string band--and delivers it all with charisma and off-the-cuff charm. --Marc Greilsamer

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Joyous Music.......2001-10-13

Pink Anderson, a songster in the style of Mance Lipscomb, Blind Willie McTell and Mississippi John Hurt rather than a bluesman, spent 42 years as a medicine show man, entertaining the crowds with slyly witty songs. This album, the second of three wonderful recordings made by Bluesville in 1961, features this repertoire.

He sings with great elan and enjoyment, even if his fingers sometimes slip a little. Highlights include "In the Jailhouse Now (recorded by Blind Blake and Gus Cannon), "Chicken" (also recorded by Bill Williams) and the wonderful "Travelin' Man" (similar to Luke Jordan's classic version). "Greasy Greens" is full of innuendo and performed with gusto, whilst, just to raise the tone at the end, "I'm Going to Walk" is a gospel tune.

This is a delightful album: recommended without hesitation. If only Pink Floyd could play like this!

4 out of 5 stars Among the more entertaining of the Andreson collections.......2001-07-27

I'm prejudiced when it comes to brother Pink being that we're both from Spartanburg, SC where he is well remebered. That said, objectively speaking this is one of the more entertaining of the Pink collections. The songs here are rather funny and clever and it captures the spirit of being at his old house on Spartanburg's South Forest Street (where he actually recorded these tunes) entertaining his neighbors. "I've Got Mine," He's In the Jailhouse Now," "Greasy Greens" and "Travelin Man" (the latter is actually a PC remake of a minstrel show tune) will give you the feeling of old fashioned fun.

5 out of 5 stars Inspirational Blues Artist; SYD BARRETT named 'PINK' FLOYD.......1999-08-19

This blues album is very high quality blues! Pink Andersoninspired Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, to so entitle the psychedelic rockband, fighting off other titles such as the abdabs, and sigma 6, syd named his band after Pink Anderson, this legendary blues artist who's music is found here, and Floyd Council, yet another blues artist, thus coming up with Pink Floyd.

This album will be something that will stick with you for life, and you ears will be blessed with the great blues sound of the south.

Simon recommends this album, and a great buy here at Amazon.Com.

Seems like only yesterday the Kronos Quartet stepped up their career as musical mavericks with a coveted, wide-open contract with Nonesuch Records. Now it's Nonesuch's turn to give Kronos the big-package nod, gathering key works recorded by the group--from younger composers and time-tested veterans alike--into this 10-CD box set. As one might expect, the set is stuffed with contrasts, from the first CD, with its 11-part, upstepping John Adams suite and then the far more solemn Missa Syllabica from Arvo Pärt. Nearly 20 of these pieces here were composed expressly for Kronos, pitched and sculpted for their easily-racked mixture of straightforward string quartet roles and intelligently restructured approaches to the even the simplest gestures. Perhaps most key here is George Crumb's Black Angels, in large part due to Crumb's role in inspiring David Harrington to form Kronos 25 years ago. Crumb's music spirals and chases through the air, engaging high pitches and fast pacings as if they were ends in themselves. Gone from this set are most of the short snippets that have filled some of Kronos's other fine single CD recordings. In abundance instead are some of the legendary works: Morton Feldman's long, endlessly patient Piano and String Quartet (with Aki Takahashi), Steve Reich's unnerving Different Trains, and Henryk Górecki's String Quartets Nos. 1 and 2. There are also some of the astounding Eastern European works from Night Prayers as well, including the stunning Quartet No. 4 from Sofia Gubaidulina. And of course there are the Kronos biggie pieces: Philip Glass's works fill one CD, and so do Terry Riley's. What's more, Riley's Cadenza on the Night Plain and "G Song" are presented here in entirely fresh, new recordings. What the listener gets is a huge block of music, full of shifting colors and textures but perfectly apt in giving a wide-angle vantage on what Kronos has done for contemporary music. --Andrew Bartlett

5 out of 5 stars A worthwhile investment.......2003-10-06

It would be an understatement to say that this is a fabulous box set. All 10 CDs are packed with some fabulous music that beautifull highlights the first 25 years of the Kronos Quartet, and the booklet included provides a great history of the group as well as nice blurbs on the composers and their pieces.

Equally nice about the box set is the inclusion of multiple new recordings, thus making this a worthwhile investment for fans. The Peter Sculthorpe Quartets are a particularly nice addition, as are the added Piazzolla, Part, and Riley compositions.

Along with this, the "classic" Kronos recordings are all here: "Black Angels" "Different Trains" "Salome Dances for Peace" (well, exceprts), and Feldman's Piano and String Quartet. Of particular note, I think is the inclusion of Gubaidulina's Quartet No 4, a fabulous recording that is otherwise hidden in Kronos' recording "Night Prayers."

Yes, this is quite an investment, but I firmly believe that it's worth it - longtime fans and newcomers alike have a lot to gain from this collection.

4 out of 5 stars Excelent compilation!.......2001-09-09

I like more classic period, like Hayden, but Cronos does it very well, technicaly excelent. The ten sets are wonderful recordings and the selection is unique. It deserves the investment, If you buy it, youre going to have more than ten hours of joy.

5 out of 5 stars Amazingly Now Retrospective.......2001-06-26

Since their youthful start in the NW back in the 70's, Kronos has collaborated with, commissioned, or just played such a breadth of musicians it almost seems that breadth - and especially non western world culture - is their mission. But, while this conservatively and esthetically designed 25-yr-retrospective box (with its increasingly sophisticated photo-portraits) belies the pulsation of social angst and conscience that underlies the bulk of the inclusions, the latter concern, its vitality and relevance - and not some stylish chasing after cultural breadth - is what overtakes the listener/reader, rather soon. I say reader, since the booklet is very helpful, especially to the relative novice, and well balanced in its coverage of composers, historical contexts, performers, individual texts, etc.

There are probably more non contemporaries performed by the Quartet over the years than this selection would indicate. That undercuts their ties with the sense of revolution in music throughout the ages, but it leaves more time for the present: and that is where one expects the group wishes to be, is most contributory and challenged, and is best and most fairly judged. Highly recommended, both for those who know Kronos's work well and wish a handsome tribute on their shelf, and for those who do not but are open and ready to be affected, whether impacted esthetically, reminded socio-morally, or whatever combination of both befits.

5 out of 5 stars How Could You Not Listen?.......1998-12-19

My opinion pales when compared to this CD. Indeed the group's ingeniousness, its knowing and its balls are in full display here, hopefully to put to rest any lingering contention that there is little more to Kronos than form. To any person who accepts the merits of 20th-century music, this CD presents the genius of our culture and teaches that daring and ingenuity do not have to be sacrificed on the road to technical brilliance. My only regret is that the CD does not include Kronos's interpretation of Bartok. But, so what? Górecki's here, as are Part and Benshoof. Listen to this CD -- soar and struggle with it.

5 out of 5 stars Good for help to know up-to-date contemporaly music.......1998-11-28

The Kronos Quartet has released many albums. There let us see what the quartet has tried new titles and arrenges in each period. But this is the best set for understand the quartet as summary of thier works. The CDs are distributed by each composers and we can see thier identities easily.Unfortunately this dose not include all but be enough to see what the quartet has been.I hope that every classical music fans(not only contemporaly music fans) listen this CDs.

5 out of 5 stars Don't miss this guy at Jazzfest!.......2003-09-11

This album is a perfect blend of grisgris swamp blues, funky treme stomp, jukejoint jams and heartfelt ballads. A great mix of real New Orleans music created by a true local. If you can't make it to the fest, this is a good temporary substitute. Coco's original sense of humor shines through on "3:33 blues", and he has created an anthem with "Louisiana Medine Man".

      The production on this is the best that Rickey ever had. The songs kick-butt, and it's all hard-rockin' stuff with a more modern sound. Not cheesy and commercial,just much better production all around. It's not the old band,but it's all Medlocke and you hear some of it on the Rattlesnake Rocker compilation.
      I consider this a must have for Blackfoot/Medlocke fans.
