Album Description
The brilliant psychedelic rock 'n' roll of Faine Jade passed through the orange-colored skies of 1968 like a pink and lavender comet, then was gone... Fortunately Jade left behind a wondrous album to detail his amazing, one-way voyage through the night skies. Introspection: A Faine Jade Recital details every deliciously enigmatic, Syd Barrett inspired twist and turn of the short but sweet career of this mysterious artist. Since the hideously rare original LP now requires a mortgage from your bank, Sundazed, with the full cooperation of the artist, presents the perfect Faine Jade package, taken from the absolute master tapes with rare photos and liner notes based on a recent interview with Faine Jade, himself.

The Other Half of Focus.......2007-01-09
Focus, at its peak was four guysreally, but only two get remembered. Jan Akkerman is one- and Thijs (pronouced "tays") is the other- the yodeler.
Thijs is also a highly trained classical flautist. I hve owned both these albums on vinyl for over 20 years- it is about time they made it to CD! If you have an ear for classical music, thes eare worth the listen. don't expect Focus- this is where Thijs came from.

Another winner from Greg.......2006-03-30
This recording is definately worth having in the collection. Great guitar playing and smooth tone with lots of cool hook tunes and superb solos. I can listen to this disc all the way through. The only downer for me would be the fact that his drummer is playing an electronic drumkit and the drum tone is awful. The drumming itself is decent but not what you would expect from an album of this caliber. Even with that, Gregs playing shines above and beyond any other faults you may find in this recording. Get it and enjoy.
Timeless musician!.......2004-04-18
I was gonna lose my mind while GH was playing...In order to digest his music better, I listened to his work by standing up on my hands, there has to be a new word in the dictionary to describe his talent, cos` the existing ones are too weak to do the work...
A real grower.......2004-03-12
My original review only gave 3 stars. Thing is, I've listened to this several times since and it is a real grower. I guess i was judging it using his debut and 'High gear' as yardsticks. Ironically, there's a lot more subtlety, feel and depth on 'Introspection' than on those 2 albums. Some posters here has alluded to it as jazz fusion. No, it's got far more of a blues feel, except that it's taken blues to stratospheric levels that orginal bluesmen couldn't have dreamed of. Like Satch and unlike most other 'shredders', Greg Howe comes up with strong melodies as well as lightning fast light fingered fretwork. I haven't heard a better player in any genre since discovering 'Surfing with the alien' back in 1988.
One of Greg Howe's best!.......2003-09-21
Like most of Greg Howe's albums, 'Introspection' again provides a glimpse into the "near impossible" of what is capable on a guitar. Greg's effortless virtuosity combines impeccable technique with uniquely tapped pentatonics, tasteful hyper-speed blues licks, and a wonderful sense of melody and rhythm. While most of the tunes on the album lean toward heavy blues laden fusion and straight "shred", Greg manages to mix things up a bit with a nice nylon-string piece dedicated to Jason Becker. Nevertheless, it is Greg's soaring lead playing that keeps you coming back for more. And you will want to listen a few times, if only to confirm that it was in fact a human that played so magnificently. A must-have for any fan of guitar music!
None better........2003-04-24
It infuriates me to hear or read some nimrod's review that any particular guitarist is no good or that some other guitarist is better. Guitarists are artists. If you don't appreciate them, do something else. No one is better than Greg Howe. Likewise, no one is better than Vai, or Johnson, or Satch, or Aldo, or ...
I love listening to Greg Howe (and the others too).

Simply Beautiful.......2005-11-18
This album has some of the most relaxing things on it I've ever listened to. Put it on before bed, and you'll go to sleep in no time. I especially love how Kondanassis chose some songs written originally for piano, and played them on the harp (e.g. Satie and Chopin's pieces on here).
A great buy!
Listened to every night for 6 years.......2005-07-16
The CD gets turned on the minute I get in bed...whether I then just listen,or read..or even have news on TV...this is my relax to sleep in peace personal system
lovely, peaceful music beautifully played.......2004-04-17
I have always loved harp music, and this collection performed by Yolanda Kondonassis is very beautiful. The pieces chosen are all mellow and quiet; they are very good to listen to while meditating or trying to wind down. Kondonassis plays beautifully, and her style brings a sensuous tranquility to the music. The transcriptions from orchestral to harp music are quite good, in that they don't sound like transcriptions, but as if the music were originally written for harp.

Tori? Sarah? Move Over.......2004-09-30
Talk about serendipity. I picked up this cd on a whim, and it has honestly turned out to be my best music purchase in the past year. Now I'm anxious to get my hands on the other five cds that I've heard she has out there and I'm ready to join the chorus of voices asking when Rachael Sage will get the radio love that she deserves.
Ballads and Burlesque manages to call to mind the work of talented musicians like Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, and Ani DiFranco, and yet in the end, what Sage has created here is entirely her own. She is more grounded than Sarah, more accessible than Tori, and more wistful than Ani--this is quite a coup, and it could end up being a very marketable one, if she finally gets heard airtime.
Simply put, there isn't a weak song on the cd. Even when she tackles the downside of relationships, as she often does here (the romantic dynamic, in "It's so Hard" and "Even Love Dies", the father-son dynamic in "Sacrifice") she manages to analyze and examine without seeming neurotic, and without wallowing...a lesson that other singer-songwriter types could stand to learn.
She can break your heart a little when she wants to, such as with the lost love described in "Jane's Dimitri", and yet manages to stay buoyant almost in spite of it all with her touch of humor in songs like "Leah" keeping her listener right there with her for the ride through relationships past.
From the sound of it, she's a believer in the "better to have loved and lost..." school of thought. And if you know what's good for you, you had better listen to her. It's worth it.
Better with each listen.......2004-09-23
Rachael has put out another good album. The songs here are mostly about love in its various forms: self-love, confidence, and acceptance (Sacrifice), unfulfilled/lost love (the heartbreaking Jane's Dimitri), the complications of new feelings (Leah), the difficulty (It's So Hard), the end (Even Love Dies).
Illusion's Carnival and Public Record both took a while for me to really love, but I think those albums had sonic experimentation that took me a little while to get used to, and they had songs that I immediately loved. Overall Ballads & Burlesque is a bit mellower than her previous work, and I miss some of the punch. I guess I wish there was a little more burlesque in the ballads and a little less ballad in the burlesque.
"Ferris Wheel" is a good case in point. The original, which appears on Public Record, is bright, almost bouncy, and one of my favorite songs on that album. Here it is transformed into a far moodier piece. The trumpets that I had grown to love so much since Illusion's Carnival only appear here on 2 songs.
Rachael's voice and piano are as wonderful as ever though, the arrangements as lush (especially Stephanie Winters' cello), and the trumpets shine when they do appear. The album gets better with each listen, as the songs reveal themselves. There's more energy than first appeared.
Long-time fans should definitely add this to their collection. However I must admit I don't think it's quite as good as her previous work (her previous work being of such consistent high quality, that's really less of a slight than it sounds) which is why I recommend newcomers start with something else, say Smashing the Serene or Illusion's Carnival. Then again, maybe this disc would be better appreciated if it's not being compared to her previous albums.
There are gems here. One song has potential to hit big, if.........2004-09-17
Rachael Sage practically started out as an award-winning songwriter, and has since gotten even better. "Ballads & Burlesques" may well prove to be a breakthrough to a much larger audience. Her national reputation may have begun by winning the 2001 John Lennon and 2002 Billboard Songwriting Contests, or as an opening act for Ani DiFranco, but sometimes "mere" contest-winners really do have talent, really prove it with dues-paying live performances and most importantly get really good recordings made of their sound at its best.
If fairness had anything to do with music getting heard by a wide audience, Sage's music would naturally be in millions of homes. The music industry being what it is, though, they won't sell more good music to most of us until a lot of us tell them what's good. Still, there's a chance for musical justice. I have a fantasy scenario that may make the unlikely possible, in just a few "if only" steps: If only the makers of a memorable romantic comedy movie were searching for a great song to use for a 2 or 3-minute segment without dialogue -- imagine sequences in Meg Ryan movies for reference. If only they would hear Rachael Sage's "Why Not Love?" from "Ballads & Burlesque" and recognize how perfect it would be in their film and buy the rights. If only the music promotion machine would pick up on the buzz around the song from the hit movie and make it the Next Big Ballad.
"If only" that wasn't so difficult. Or is it? "Why Not Love?" is good enough to be worthy of the attention.
All we need now is for the right person / people to "discover" it.
If Sarah McLaughlin could have a huge album and bigger career via a similar scenario, Rachel Sage certainly has the goods to be similarly popular.
"Ballads and Burlesque" is an album of very good songs. But I'm taken with the idea that it contains that one breakthrough song to break through to mainstream appreciation.
[revised 10-14-04]
Introducing...10 wonderful songs..........2004-08-30
Her sixth release to date, "Ballads & Burlesque" is her best album yet! From start to finish, this album will keep you wanting more. Her luscious piano arrangements are accentuated by her rich voice and beautiful lyrics. Highlights include "Jane's Dimitri," a heart-breaking song about a woman who realizes she's passed up her one chance at true love, "One True Thing," the catchy "It's So Hard," and the album's first AAA radio single, "Sacrifice," about a young man struggling to tell his father that he wants to stray away from his father's view of his future and become an artist. This album is highly recommended to long time fans of Rachael Sage, and welcome newcomers!

Pretty good lost 60's group.......2005-12-15
I heard The End on the Rubble collection with their song Shades of Orange. That by far was their best song. The songs on here are pretty good, They are not as Psychedelic as Shades of Orange but you liek the songs the more you hear them. Their are three tracks on here (Bromley Common, Linen Draper, and Jacob's Bladder) they are like like 40 second stories of a man and things he does, and they are hilarious. All in all I'd suggest this for a serious Psych fan cuz it's not your everyday Psych group. They have their own unique sound

This album is a must for reflecive dreaming and sophisticated contemplation. Forest Flower is haunting in this arrangement. It has stayed in my ears and heart for years.
The entire album is clear, notes and instruments well defined. Gary Burton and Keith Jarrett are genius.
It is hard to speak too highly of this album, except to let it serve to whet your appetite for when you can hear any of the performers perform live.

Guitarist Paul Schmidt and Rymes with Orange keyboardist Bob D'Eith meld Spanish and new age motifs with Gothic soundscapes. --Jeff Bateman
Album Description
Introspection by Mythos is a beautifully produced and utilizes hypnotic dance grooves that churn beneath elegant melodies, and it moves impressively through different styles marked by cool, dark synth textures, outstanding classical and acoustic guitar work, thick, punchy bass, and sensuous, chanting vocals. Their music is tailor made for fans of meditative trance/dance music- the captivating mood of Mythos creates an atmosphere that will have you listening to this disk over and over again. Their Music is an intriguing foray along the ambient/dance/monk-rock path first blazed by artists like Enigma, Delerium, Panagea, Dadawa, and Deep Forest, yet going beyond those artists and expanding the genre. This is powerful music.

"The shadows cast by the web of life fall under scrutiny in this collaboration by two of the Western world's favorite instruments, guitar and piano. Aptly titled, this release could help clarify the meaning of 'gothic' as a category. Pieces such as 'Wind,' 'November' and 'Clockwork' touch on themes of the soul through the routine of a dutiful mind."--NAPRA ReView [unabridged] Spring 1997
"Hard to describe yet easy to fall in love with. The combination of rhythm and space is a total success in utilizing hypnotic dance grooves that churn beneath elegant melodies, all instantly familiar sounding. ... it keeps sounding better with each listen..."--Heartbeats 1997 Preview [unabridged]
"Mythos combines a variety of styles and tempos all of which are refreshingly original. Fans of Deep Forest and Enigma may find themselves really enjoying this one."--Hear's Music World Music In Review [unabridged] 1997
"Guitarist Paul Schmidt and Keyboardist Bob D'Eath [sic] compose instrumentals that pack quite an emotional wallop of melodic and rhythmic structuring. Instead of tonal ambiguities, the due [sic] fashion tight and potent romantic poems that draw as much upon flamenco themes as Enigma-style wordless soprano vocals. Incredibly gifted singer Jennifer Scott makes songs like 'November' and 'Wind' fascinating to hear. Just when you think her crystalline voice cannot soar any longer, she switches tact and begins chanting in a tribal rhythm that perfectly counterpoints the duo's gothic instrumentals. The synthesizer showcase 'Angeles [sic] Weep' is amazingly lovely, with Christine Duncan's ethereal voice scaling to heavenly hights [sic] before the poignant acoustic guitar lead line resumes. If you enjoy Enigma, Deep Forest, Panagea, or Dadawa, don't hesitate to get this wonderful album."--PJ Birosik - New Age Retailer [unabridged] 1998
"Most impressive is how the album moves so smoothly through the differing styles. The first few songs are very lush and dark, the central songs influenced by Jennifer Scott's vocals, and as it winds down the only sounds to be heard are Paul Schmidt's classical guitar, barren and alone."--Miss Hell - Music Reviews [unabridged] 1999
"A wholly cinematic new age project designed by a Canadian duo bears close resemblance to the sounds of Deep Forest and Enigma. Soothing ambient washes and celestial electronics weave in and out of wordless female wails above light beats."--MusicStack
"Call it Delirious, call it Enigmatic, but Mythos' ambient debut album, Introspection is more than background fluff. Although the album is predominantly derived from classical styles, Mythos draws on everything from jazz and flamenco to monkish chants to create a dense cross-section of melodies and rhythms. Unlike many other ambient albums that rely heavily on synthesized music, this one commands the listener's attention because of its predominantly acoustic instrumentation."--Jennifer Van Evra - The Vancover Courier.

Flowing melodies, voices of angels... this melancholic disc is so powerful, it made many people I lent it to cry! The tracks are very complex---I don't recommend using this as background music. This is a great ambient/new age disc.
{Warning: This CD DOES have the power to put you in a particularly melancholic mood. If you are basically a happy person, this CD is probably not for you!}
