Best known nowadays as a member of Channel Light Vessel, the younger of the two Enos takes his cue from big bro Brian's Another Green World by adding vocals to his typically sleepy ambient sound. "The Whole Wide World" is typical of an album that's best heard with a cup of chamomile tea. --Jeff Bateman

Books brilliant... I don't think i have anything more to say except for the people that found it monotonous and boring, or so drawn into the "Morphine Style" get a life, because you completely miss the point Mark wanted and so you just think about what sounds good rather than what's interesting and different and how it continues on as such....

Discerning the Core From the Rind.......2004-10-18

Only Andrew can rock out with a violin!.......2004-04-18

So I put the CD back in the case and didn't listen to it for a year. DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKE! (How many hours of pleasure had I denied myself in that year...?) I'd only listened to it once, but eventually I slipped this CD into the player again... and after some listening, I adored it!

At first, it's shocking to hear Andrew play pop/rock, but then it grows on you and it's hard to take the CD player off "repeat one" to hear another song. His use of the violin in modern-sounding (yet unclassifiable) music is ingenious. Andrew has pulled off the impossible and made a violin a rock instrument.

This Cd is perfect for driving down the expressway with the windows rolled down and the car stereo cranked way up. It's fun, beautiful, and thought-provoking (what lyrics!) all at the same time. 11:11- oh! What a song! soothing violin with his signature strumming over the top melts away and is replaced by rhythm guitar accenting some hardcore sawing at the fiddle, in that way that only Andrew can play. Amazing. You need this CD!

This album is *not* a sell-out effort. We are talking about a man who had never listened to anything but classical music until directly before he made this CD. All of his albums are different, and show off how versatile he truly is. I am fond of saying, "Andrew has a CD for every mood!" This is the crazy, hyper album.*

And do yourself a favor and see him play live! I drove 3 1/2 hours to see him and he was absolutely stunning! He is in his element on stage; so if you think this recording is something, you ain't see nothin' until you go to a live show. *swoon*

*A note about his albums: Music of Hair is ethnic, folksy and soothing, Thrills is hot jazz with Euro influence, Oh! the Grandeur is dark, brooding, and unlike anything you've ever heard, this is rock, Weather Systems is floaty, serene New Age and indicates a move back to the more obscure jazz of Grandeur. If you can find Fingerlings or any other live recording of his, you should snatch it right up.

Andrew is beyond amazing and with or without his band Bowl of Fire, he creates some of the most innovative and original music of our time. BUY THIS CD RIGHT NOW! And if you enjoy this, check out his other releases (Kevin O'Donnell's Quality Six is BOF + 2 more musicians). You will not be disappointed.

By the way, I believe this info is in the liner notes of this CD. Missed oportunity!.......2006-01-06 While I can appreciate that this release is a very competent recreation of the musical content of the original vinyl, I too was totally dismayed at the absence of Patton's speeches(as delivered by George C Scott) which are virtually inseparable from the music for anyone who owned the original vinyl release.All of which subsequently leaves this release a rather hollow experience. Two classic scores!.......2005-11-22 This cd includes Frank DeVol's score for the Robert Aldrich classic, "Flight of the Phoenix"; an exciting score for an equally exciting movie. Goldsmith's justifiably famous score for Patton features the original recordings, including the haunting "echoplexed" trumpets. Also, the previous reviewer's one-star rating is rather inexplicable considering this is FILM SCORE release. Why would soundbites from the film be included? Bizarre. All-in-all a great package and a limited edition (only 3,000 copies). Get yours while you can - you won't be disappointed! Missing the Best .......2005-06-25 This album does not have Patton's opening speech or the closing "All Glory is Fleeting" speech. It misses the two most important segments of the original soundtrack. Average customer rating: Varèse Sarabande à son meilleur! A copy in every household . . .

With Food Cafe Flora Cookbook Books Books e Were There Let Her Go Swimming To The Other Side Album Description Miracles DO happen! Although singer-songwriter and musical activist Pat Humphries created a stir in the folk world with her first album, 1992's "Same Rain," it took nine years before the release of "Hands," its follow-up. Then, more than a year after "Hands'" January 2001 release, the CD suddenly spent three days as the best-selling CD for Amazon.com, the Internet's most popular music store. What triggered the rush of sales was a feature on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" about Pat's composition, "Swimming to the Other Side," which first appeared on her debut and then in a re-recorded version (broadcasted by NPR) on "Hands." This song of hope and determination had become, like Pat's "Common Thread" and "Never Turning Back," a ubiquitous folk anthem sung at peace and social justice rallies and demonstrations around the world and was translated into seven languages. Pat Humphries is no longer a secret in her homeland. No less an authority than Pete Seeger called Pat's songs "some of the best I've heard in 50 years," and the material on "Hands" validates Pete's praise. "No Sweat" and "Cold Cup of Water" respectively examine the plight of workers in Third World sweat shops and migrant workers here in the States. Social issues of gay and straight parenting are addressed in "I'll Be There" and "People Love"; women's rights are the subject of Pat's cover versions of "Bread & Roses" and "We Were There." Pat wrote "Bound for Freedom" for a celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday and bears the central message, "We are one and we are all." The CD's pro-labor title track was written but never released by Phil Ochs before his 1976 suicide. These rallying cries of optimism and activism are sung warmly and without affectation by Pat, who also plays guitar on most tracks. She is accompanied by the "world music" pioneer David Amram (woodwinds, percussion), renowned fiddler Jay Ungar, and veteran folk duo Kim and Reggie Harris on backing vocals; the CD's producer, Abby Newton, contributes cello to "Swimming to the Other Side," among other songs. Customer Reviews: Super Folk Music.......2006-08-23 There is not a song on this CD that will not move the true folkie heart. Nothing fancy, just clear, clean, meaningful lyrics accompanied by great acoustic guitar. I'll be purchasing more music by Pat Humphries. I highly reccomend this product. A breakthrough song and otherwise solid folk.......2002-08-30 I bought HANDS after being introduced to Pat Humphries and "Swimming to the Other Side" in a feature on NPR. Like the correspondent said, the song grabs you. When HANDS arrived, I plunked it on the CD player and it instantly pulled me back a few decades to when folkies ruled and we all had to have guitars like them, back to Pete Seger and Woody Guthrie, back to the early Bob Dylan, back to reading John Steinbeck in school, back to when there was social awareness and liberal was not a bad word. She infuses the tradition with a fresh zest. "Swimming to the Other Side," remains my favorite on this album, though an informed folk devotee might say some of the other songs, especially the titular "Hands," are just as worthy. "Swimming to the Other Side" has a simple tune that lends itself to variations and its lyrics tap into our 21st century zeitgeist. We are living in scary times, we are trying to make it to the other side. There is uplift but no denial in this song. Beautiful music full of life, love, losses and lessons.......2002-07-30 When my niece and I ride in the car together she always asks for "Pat" [Hands]and for track # 9: "I'll Be There". It seems to make her feel secure and safe. And we talk about being able to tell Mommy or Auntie Anne ANYTHING. People Love is just a wonderful reflection of healthy loving. No Sweat and Cold Cup of Water make our blood dance with wanting to right all the wrongs of the world. Pat's beautiful Swimming to the Other Side celebrates our unity in our diversity on the earth. This album is a friend to us, familiar, challenging, loving, anguished, peaceful. Amazing! Makes me want to get out and march!.......2002-07-08 This is an album such that I have not heard in many years. Her harmonies, The words and melodies make me wwant to do something to change the world and do it NOW. Now all I have to do is locate her first album! Beautiful!.......2002-05-31 Haven't heard music like this since the 60's - It is great to see someone still cares about others.

Each song on the first Cd is very somber, mystery enriched songs. Gives a similar backdrop to what Ozon has to offer in his earlier works, maybe making "Swimming Pool" the sophmore contender in his career. The second Cd is highly inviting, and makes me curious about his other wonder film, "8 Femmes". Each song is catchy, whether it be the Cher influenced remake of "Bang, Bang", or the cutesy pop tune, "Papa t'es plus dans le coup" remix sung by Ozon's starlet, Ludvine Sagnier. Of course there was the song that I had lucked out on finding which was, Steve Everitt's "Mirrorball (let's do it)". I took a screenshot of the credits and saw that it was Koka Atmos 126, so I searched for that on the internet to find some more of Mr. Everitt's works. However Koka media was in french, so like the American I am I waited for this purchase and made sure that I told everyone about it and the movie. I recommend this to those who like independant and foriegn films. Swimming Pool Soundtrack - dance song.......2005-12-30 The song is called 'Lets do It' and is perfromed by Mirror ball and composed by Steve Everitt. It is featured on the second disk of the 'Swimming Pool' soundtrack which you can purchase at the Amazon France. www.amazon.fr Its all in french though so just type in Swimming Pool at the search bar at the top and should be ok. The 'Lets Do It' track is a little shorter than the one featured in the film but i think the version in Swimming Pool was deliberately lengthened do last the scene appropriately. hoped this helped and happy hunting. anyone.......2005-11-17 one song that i like on this movie, a really cool dance,trance song..is being played when there getting stoned...if anyone knows the name please post it.

With Food Cafe Flora Cookbook Williams-Sonoma Collection: American (Williams-Sonoma Collection) Books Books ......2007-04-01 I think this reviewer (krakatoa 1883 over here) has had little experience with discord and melodic tension, because this is relatively straightforward, well crafted and excellent music that never takes you over that cliff of noise and chaos at all (there is NO atonality here, folks. I fail to see the Coltrane comparison.). It is melodically in line with all of rob crow's work, meaning: angular, complex and sharply turning, but catchy, sing-along-able, and enjoyable. I just wanted to clarify that this is NOT Don Caballero or Hella or anything....it is just another excellent Rob Crow project which, while technically and artistically improved, sits nicely next to the original Heavy Vegetable (and Thingy) albums. Oh, and I would also point out that the work of the other two musicians here (Rob plays bass, Travis Nelson takes guitar, drummer is Manolo Turner) is more than worthy of the beloved Robcore stylee we are all here for. Turner's drumming, in particular, is just perfect and, for me at least, a large part of the ticklish enjoyment of this album. The liner notes give writing credit to all members of Other Men, and it sounds that way, too. " I hate you Rob Crow!".......2007-03-25 Other Men Wake Up Swimming, is Rob Crow's first Robcore release, and the reuniting of the former line up of his original band Heavy Vegetable. Some are going to say that this CD continues right from where they left off, but I would have to say that there is a significant improvement in both power and profoundness that was not fully matured when the band broke up 11 years ago. This is a musical experience that reminds me very much of John Coletrane's Sun Ship album. It is not music that you will probably like the first time you hear it, in fact, the initial reaction will probably be one of shock due to the aggressive dissonant contents. Indeed, there really isn't any of those familiar chord changes that one has come to expect from standard rock albums, if anything, it feels down right atonal and nearly unmelodic the first few times through. There is no knowing what is around the next turn, and thus no comfort zone to hang your hat on. As one deals with the relentless attack of brooding darkness that is being inflicted on their bruitalized senses, it becomes very difficult to stop yourself from muttering that Rob Crow sure has a weird perverse opinion of springtime. The clincher here however is that there is a monster sized reward for continuing to listen to this CD untill clarity finally arrives. The truth is that like the Sunship album by Coletrane, this disc is a new musical language that requires the listener to grow first before they are able to truly comprehend what they are actually hearing. As such, one will realize that the overall impact of this music will reach the very depth of their soul and last a life time. In short, this CD presents the very best kind of musical experience that a person can possibly have, in two words, profound power. It is only when the clarity finally comes that you truly realize what you actually have in your CD player. It is not some unpleasant atonal nightmare, but is instead your very own nuclear reactor, snarling and hissing out steam, while it charges at you like a renegade bull, and pounces on you like a growling mountain lion. I will go out on a limb here and say that this is Rob Crow's ultimate masterpiece to date, ( which is saying a lot) and that it is a album that one can up hold side by side with any rock album in existence. Other Men Wake Up Swimming is an album that challenges you where you live, and ultimately changes your musical perspective for all time. It is just that its impact is not felt immediately because it takes effort on the part of the listener to really hear it. I am not going to attempt to give you much of an in-depth blow by blow discription of the music, just a general one. It is not so much an act of laziness on my part as it is an act of great respect for this sublime work of pure genius. I am humbled by the fact that a hack like myself can not really describe the overall beauty of this album with mere words....but here it goes. The first track, " Other People" is shaped just like an ocean wave. It builds up momentum, rises to a high fine crest, only to crash headlong into the beach, breaching its considerable momentum, it then draws itself back out to sea in a set of long inhales. Nice start to an album EH? From then on the album only gets better. Track 2, "Strapped" is where the CD really bears its mighty fangs, it is here that one will realize that there is no mistaking the hard charging power of this album for anything other then a force of nature. Track 3, " Kind of off the side a bit" is the first track that hits you with a surprise ending. It is a track that would of been completely satisfying without it, but Rob Crow is not playing any games here, once the listener is against the ropes he goes for the knockout punch. This surprise ending reaches an even more contrasting and striking force at the conclusion of the fifth track, " In This Wind", which is the long slow melodic song on this disc. That is, until all hell breaks lose and the listener is pushed without warning into an enraged mosh pit. Track 6, "UHHH" continues where the ending pace of "In This Wind" left off, as it travels like a rocket and catapults the listener higher and higher, and then even higher. It may be a short song, but one needs to catch ones breath after being shot out of that cannon. Track 7, "Anaglyphic" is that much needed breather, but don't worry, because track 8, "Indiscriminate Proposals of Little Marcy" brings the momentum all back again with ferocious gusto. When Rob Crow yells out the line "I won't say anymore" the cascading guitar and bass riff becomes a wickedly evil animalistic growl that blows your socks off and sends them across the street into your neighbors living room. Track 9, "Total Nutcase" is weightless, the entire song is seemingly suspended by hidden filament wires. It is just before the two minute point that the sound descends like an elevator from the sky with a set of self imploding chords. It is as if this song was really a hovering spacecraft that had decided to suddenly land like a demonic threat in your back yard. Track 10, "False Positives" is the track that caps off the CD, its driving momentum rivals any point in this CD, and yet there is a conclusive sadness that tells you that it is all coming to an end. Is it the passion in Crow's voice mixing with the pathos of this enthralling high flying melody? All I know is that every hair on my arms stand on end durring this song. I don't ever want it to end, except for the fact that sooner or later I need to breath again. The last track, "Bullet Train To Jimbo's" works as a final coda to the tenth track, proving once and for all that what I wrote in my review of Rob Crow's last release is completely accurate and true. Rob Crow is only getting better, his maturity has only sharpened his ability to constuct and polish his gems into an organic and uncompromising whole.

This CD collects all of the Names' output from the early 80s. "Swimming" itself isn't an exceptional album, but the inclusion of stellar singles "Calcutta" and "Nightshift," and other bonus tracks, more than makes up for any weaknesses in the original LP. The sound is classic Hannett: sharp and crisp, drums and bass high in the mix, with treated guitar and washes of synths pushed out to the edges, creating an atmospheric, hypnotic swell. Most songs feature catchy but understated hooks, and the various sounds/tones employed suit the melodies perfectly, resulting in lush, colorful textures. Songs like "Floating World," "Fire," and "Life by the Sea" are breezy, attractively melodic, and haunting. Comparisons to Magazine aren't off the mark. However, the Names might actually be *better* songwriters, if only because they avoid Magazine's overzealous, prog-like tendencies and focus more on space and color. The singer's mopey, monotone hampers things at times and a few of the songs drag, but if you dig Magazine, Joy Division, early 80s Cure, Stockholm Monsters, the Wake, etc., you should give this a listen. Oh, and the cover by in-house Crepuscule artist Hennbert, rules.
