Steve Perry...FTLOSM.......2007-07-24

What a great album...thank you, Steve, for the beautiful and soulful work on this solo. No matter who plays for this man, his voice shines bright above the music, and this is a must-have for Perry fans and novices alike.

it's a funny thing..........2007-03-12

I was never really a Journey fan. Maybe I was already too old by then. I knew even then, though, that they were much better -with- Steve Perry than they had been before him. But they were corny to me, and their sound, (which, in their case, may have been original), was so overdone in the 80s that I simply had my full almost immediately. As far as Perry himself, well, (besides holding Journey against him), I felt as though Sam Cook and Rod Stewert were more my style within that vocal approach. HOLD ON. I guess I'm a slow learner, maybe I just didn't want to follow a teeny-bopper trend, but Perry is sounding whole lot better to me. Rod's been sucking lately, and I've accepted that Sam is never coming back, and , gosh, it turns out the Steve is one of the greatest singers ever! Definitely the classic-rock all-time hero. So in tune, amazing range , great tone, much emotion, perfect phrasing., and technique that never overrides the song's intention. I'm gonna admit that I was 100% wrong on this one. This would be one of the few rock shows I would buy a ticket for.

I did not like this album when it first came out in '94..........2007-03-10

Repeat. I did not like "Strange Medicine" when it came out in '94.

However, I was in for a big shock with this reissue. I initially bought this just for the picture booklet, which contains many good pics of Perry from the FTLOSM promo shoots; it's a worthy, wonderful companion to the CD. But the shock? Perry remastered the album. As in, "remixed it". As in, CHANGED IT.

Holy crap, I like it.

I'm listening to it now. The mix sounds much better than the original (listen to the intro to "You Better Wait", and you'll see immediately what I mean). The instruments are more balanced, the sound is clearer & cleaner. I'm digging it all over again, and it wasn't on my top list of favorite albums to start. Just for the remastering, this album is well worth the cost for Journey & Perry fans.

On the extra tracks, I disagree with the previous reviewer on one point. The extra tracks are a mixed bag; the live "Missing You" was initially aired for the Steve Perry Fan Club fans over the fan club's hotline; it's a serviceable performance, but not really Perry's best. "If You Need Me, Call Me" and "One More Time" were initially released as extra tracks to the singles from the original release of FTLOSM -- if you haven't heard them before, they are wonderful tracks that showcase Perry in two completely different vocal moods and make the most of his vocal gymnastic stylistics.

"Can't Stop", though, is junk. On the surface, the song is Perry trying to sing raunchy sex to a lover ("trying" is a very apt word, here). However, it's not blues scatting -- if that's what Perry was trying for, he fails miserably. The vocals suck -- what vocals there are. No grown man I know would use the word "coochie-coo" seriously in any sexual situation -- at least, use it and not get laughed out of the bedroom. The lyrics would fit into any fanfic pr0n in any fandom, and show about the same level of writing. The song is a sop to what Perry thinks his female fans want -- unfortunately, it sounds as if he took the worst of fanfic pr0n as his cue. It's cutesy euphemistic crap that ignores honest, raw sexuality and substitutes crappy, uninspired vocals for true emotional edge.

When we reach a point where Steve Perry is writing his own pr0n, armageddon can't be far behind.

Wrapping up the past, or a preview of the future?.......2006-11-02

Steve Perry has been behind the Reissues this past year with the Journey CDs and his solo material. Most included bonus tracks, and For The Love Of Strange Medicine is no different. The CD itself sounds incredible. The static that was in the background mildly on the original 1994 release is gone, and the original tracks have been remixed with today's technology. This remixing gives them an absolutely brilliant sound. There are even a few added parts to a couple numbers that sound great as well. Since this CD has never been previously remastered, it gets a new face lift with this release and shines. It truly is a testament, though, to the perfectionism of Steve Perry. He knows the sound he's looking for and finds the way to get it.

The most obvious thing about this release, though, is the bonus tracks; two of which have never before been released. "If You Need Me (Call Me) and "One More Time" were released with the singles that came out with the original Strange Medicine release, along with several other songs that reappeared with the Greatest Hits release. The first unreleased track is "Can't Stop." It is an interesting track, to say the least, and gives you a look at a side of Perry that hasn't been heard often. It's a bluesy track with some scat from The Voice, and some lyrics that are unusual for Perry in that they don't deal with the ordinary subject matter of his songs. His traditional vocal patterns aren't on this track either, making it even more unique. It's a song you almost have to develop a liking for. The second unreleased track is "Friends of Mine," which any Perry fan will like. It's a fun song that is classic Perry at his best, including the long, soaring high notes and the vocal patterns that made the man famous. This track sounds as if it belongs on this CD, and is one of my personal new favorites. These two songs, as the CD's booklet will tell you, were originally recorded for Perry's yet-to-be-released album "Against the Wall" from a 1988 recording session. The final track is a live recording of "Missing You" from his tour of Strange Medicine that has been floating around on download forums and programs for years. It's a rare glimpse of his last outing as a performer.

Finally, one of the last reasons to get this album, even if you already have it, is the accompanying booklet. Not only does it contain the usual (acknowledgments, song list with musicians and writers) but also many photos, some unreleased, from the photo shoot for the album and the tour. It also contains all the tour dates, where and when they were performed. Lastly, to open up the booklet, a note from Steve Perry himself re-introducing the album to you.

I would highly recommend this album reissue. I know there are many who don't like the reissues of the Journey albums, and that I can understand, but this album has never been re-released and sounds great. The bonus tracks and booklet alone should be enough to get the die-hard fans to buy this, but I would also recommend it to anyone who likes Steve Perry in general, the casual fan, or lovers of great music. This is one singer that has had a spectacular career in music, has been on the top, and is now living the life he has earned. The one thing that puzzles me about this release, though, is the timing. Lately, Perry has been reissuing a lot of things from his past. The Journey Music Video DVD, the Houston Concert Collector's Set, and now the reissuing of his entire recorded catalog. He's also made a couple appearances on other musicians' CDs (Jeff Golub and David Pack). What confuses me is the title question: Is Steve Perry wrapping up his career? Tying up the loose ends and saying good-bye to his fans? Or is he staying behind the scenes, waiting...slowly working his way into the public eye again in preparation for one more outing? Only time will tell. If you are a fan of this man, though, I would recommend picking this one up if you are able to. You won't be disappointed.

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!

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?

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.

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!

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."

DVD Steve Perry Solo.......2007-07-12

Excellent! Steve Perry at his very best, without Journey. I thoroughly enjoyed this CD. I wish he would come back to us!

Steve Perry's FINEST work..........2007-03-09

This CD is an absolute must have for any Journey/Steve Perry fan. Steve goes far beyond anything you've ever heard from him on this one folks. Of course we are all familiar with the sheer quality and range of his gorgeous voice, but this one's a showstopper in showing off ALL the qualities and styles he can pull from up his sleeve. Raw emotion, grittiness (YES!! GRIT from Steve Perry), yep..those soaring high notes...and ALSO: GORGEOUS lower and mid-range as well as pure, unadulterated SOUL. The first cut will knock you off your feet, but be ready for when you get to "I AM". This, in my opinion is the most beautiful ballad Steve has done in all of his long career...from it's soaring string arrangements and understated acoustic guitar opening to the powerful vocals and lyrics that will tear at your heart and soul. The title cut - For the Love of Strange Medicine, is another blockbuster with great song structure, lyrical content and more. Donna Please...emotional, gorgeous and just another top-notch song. One treat you will get here is both the recorded version and the LIVE version of Missing You, where there is no mistaking the tip of the hat in the opening riffs to Steve's hero and vocal muse, the legendary SAM COOKE! And what a treat this is...the LIVE version is even BETTER than the studio version!! Outrageously good. One cannot pass by the very touching Anyway either...an acknowlegement and emotional nod to his former band mates in Journey.

All around -- I KEEP this CD in my car, I take it with me places to listen...I just listen and listen and never tire of it. This is the mother of all of Steve Perry's work to date and although this one never got the radio play it should have, for those of us who have and enjoy it we know what a true treasure chest it is of his songwriting genius and one of the greatest voices that rock music has ever known or may ever know.

Best voice in rock-n-roll.......2006-08-31

I read some reviews saying that Steve sounded better in Streetalk and For The Love of Strange Medicine. I think some people are still high for the 80's! His latest cd was a much better quality sound and had simply more heart than Streetalk. I have seen Journey in concert over 10 times since there Infinity tour and know the band history very well. It's too bad Steve's health problem (hip) had to occur so early in his life. Yes was was some discord among the group but that had been going on for years.
Anyway, Steve is my hands down my vote for best voice in rock. Yes Dennis DeYoung, Robert Plant, Rod Stewart were my other favorites, but I still think Steve has the natural raw voice that people like. I'm sure other people out there have there favorite's; that's just my opinion.
Hey Steve do us a favor; your fans want another cd. Let us hear that great voice again!!!

For the Love of Strange Medicine.......2006-07-24

I had bought this music on cassett tape before and literally had worn it out. I am so glad I got this on the CD, the sound is so good and Steve Perry has the most awsome voice. He can make the simplest songs sound rich and alive.. I wish he would put out more music on his own.

Just as good as a Journey record.......2006-05-18

Journey fan that I am, I decided to give this disc a try when I saw a used copy of it on sale. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed at all. It was as if Journey was back and as strong as ever. The musicianship is just as tight as a Journey record and the songwriting is incredible. The guitarist he got for this record is brilliant and if your a Neil Schon fan you will appreciate this guy. He will be playing a soaring and beautiful guitar solo on one record and then lay down a bluesy and emotional line on the next song. His playing really complements the wonderful keyboard arrangements.

As for Steve Perry his voice is every bit as wonderful on this disc as it was on "Frontiers". Although it is his presence that brings this disc to life anyone who listens to this disc must admit he was working with some strong material. Almost every song on this record grabs you. The melodies are just as catchy as anything off of "Escape". More than that they are emotional and Steve Perry really knows how to grab on to your heart strings. For instance "I am" could move any man to tears and at the same time "Donna Please" sounds like he put together every ounce of sadness felt in a life and brought it through his voice. Its not just the ballads that are strong. "You'd better Wait" and "Stand Up" drive you with their energy.

There is not much I can say bad about this disc. I like it almost as much as "Trial By Fire" and if you are a Journey fan and have not heard this disc you have truly missed out. The only song I don't really care for is "Anyway". If that wasn't on this record I would give it five stars because the romance of Journey lives in this record with all of the emotional, energy, and drive.

Album Description

The brainchild of guitarist Brad Laner, Los Angeles trio Medicine play a melodic, rhythmic style of noise-rock that has been tagged 'dream-pop.' Laner began performing in his early teens in such local bands as Vox Pop and Nervous Gender after developing a taste for such avant-garde rock performers as Captain Beefheart, Throbbing Gristle, Yoko Ono, and the Residents. The band released 3 albums starting in 1992, and now return on Astralwerks, inspired by Kid 606 and vocalist Shannon Lee, a classically trained vocalist and daughter of Bruce Lee. 12 tracks. Astralwerks. 2003.

What happened to the old Medicine?.......2004-10-11

I honestly wanted to like this album, I really did. Perhaps with a few more listens I'll be able to approach it with an open mind and appreciate it like the positive reviewers -- but at the present moment, I have to say after several tries, it's just as annoying as Bob Mould's recent ventures into techno. Sorry, but it doesn't do it for me. Perhaps it's the fact that when I think of Medicine, I prefer the psychedelic-noise masterpieces that were "Shot Forth Self Living," "The Buried Life" and "Her Highness", and it's those albums I'd recommend to my friends for the classic and beloved "Medicine" sound.

Beautifully Executed harmonies noise with a hint of love !.......2004-04-03

Beautifully Executed harmonies noise, and sound. I don't know if it's just a new sound for Medicine or maybe a new growth of creativity, ether way I think its amazing continuation of the sound development. I do like the older sound but if an artist can't grow with there work then there just another top 10 pop band with no music ability. This is not only new but it still has that Medicine aftertaste. This Album ROCKS !!

The 90s are over and rightly so...........2004-03-19

Within a space of weeks I got familiar with the Medicine discography. Surely, with 93's Buried Life CD a great shoegazer/noise album was accomplished. What remains to this day are -the weirdness, -sensuality, -occasional pop sensibility. Shannon Lee's vocals are frighteningly sexy and I think that her voice fits in better with this formula than Beth Thompson's, who was on those great feedback driven tunes of yesteryear. Let's face it: it's almost 20 years that Psychocandy from the Jesus & Mary Chain heralded the fusion of 60s melodies with wonderful walls of noise. Now Brad Laner surprises us with a fusion of 60s melodies with current day electronica with makes for a pleasant psychedelic audiotrip. It doesn't seem like The Buried Life, but I can understand that it's made by the same person. Medicine is Brad Laner. Check this out, full stop.

warp9drive is an idiot.......2004-01-03

dunno what album the below doof is listening to, but it ain't this one.
this is not a techno record and it most certainly couldn't have been created with Acid 1.0 (though it would be hilarious to hear someone attempt it).
please someone, tell me the late 80's album this sounds like and I will buy it for all of my friends.

the searing guitars and beautiful harmonies are present on every tune. try cleaning the sh*t out of your ears before displaying your stupidity in this space in future.

as for the waste of your cold hard cash, prejudiced false expectations are expensive. sucka !

Bad Medicine..........2004-01-02

Medicine was once renowned for beautuful vocal harmonies blended with melodies of brutal feedback, crunchy pop-hooks amidst shimmering walls of molten sound. Medicine was screeching yet sensuous, horrible yet ethereal--"Shot Forth Self Living" and "The Buried Life" were timeless masterpieces of pop noise, some of the most creative contructions of feedback ever. This long-anticipated effort has none of these qualities. With the exception of a single track, the seventh ("Astral Gravy"), this CD sounds like a late '80's Casio keyboard/drum machine recorded with Acid Music 1.0. It's not that Laner has gone techno; I'm a huge techno fan. It's that this is not even very good techno. Nor is it the Medicine we all knew and loved, once upon a time. But this is what I get for not previewing this first BEFORE laying out my cold hard cash.

Buy this CD! You won't regret it!.......2006-10-14

Cherokee Rose is a very talented artist. After purchasing this CD, I have become a big fan of her music! This CD has become one of my favorites to listen and relax to. I hope she releases another CD with native american influences. Her new age release under the name Rose Moore entitled "Spirit of Silence" is good but I am more fond of her sound on this album. The basic composition of her voice with native drums and guitar is what makes this CD great! My favorite songs are "Coming Up River" and "Forevermore" but I enjoy all of the songs on the album.
