Good for study.......2002-06-24

There are two ways that one can listen to this: one, mixed in at random with other stuff and two, by itself in a deliberate manner.

As a collection of "song length" compositions, this is a nice way to get some classical music into one's collection. It would be a good gift for a student. Mixed with other tracks, it's refreshing to listen to. I don't that you get the full effect of this CD when listening to it this way.

Ideally, this is a CD to listen to in a deliberate way. Listen to it when you first get to work in the morning, and are organizing your day. Put this is a study center for students. The power is this CD is in repeated listening and to create a "sense of space."

Gain focus and clarity.......2001-03-05

This CD had a tremendous effect on my ability to concentrate on my work and improved my ability to articulate both written and verbal communication. Listen to it on your way to work and you will have a renewed sense of clarity about many things.

When You Need to Focus, This Will Definitely Help!.......2000-03-17

I've been using this title for several months, and have found that it really helps me to focus in on the task at hand and get it taken care of easily. The fact that the music is wonderfully arranged and played is just an added bonus!

There was nothing like the Robeson sound, ever. To describe his deep, rich, perfectly equalized instrument is futile. Go instead to "Balm in Gilead," the opening track, and see if you can listen to the last pianissimo phrase without falling to pieces. Robeson was at his best when the music was slow and the words contained spiritual or social messages. Faster, lighter fare like Kern's "I Still Suits Me" or Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So" find the serious-minded singer out of his element, lacking irony and swing. "Old Man River," though, gets a simple, dignified treatment. It's Songs of Free Men, though, that will just keep Robeson's artistry rolling along, especially in Sony's astonishing transfers. --Jed Distler

Customer Reviews:

Robeson on wax.......2007-06-19

I found this album in a thrift store last week, for a couple of dollars. It's the original pressing on four 78 RPM records, in a gatefold format. It's in pristine condition. I really bought it for the incredible cover art, although I hope to be able to listen to it in this format at some point.

The voice, the sound quality and the interpretation.......2004-09-24

Put this on your stereo and if it is good enough the depth and richness of Robeson's voice will make your fillings rattle and your chest rumble. The power of his voice is awesome. This CD is superbly recorded with no audible noise at normal listening levels.

A Voice from the 40s, often dated, often moving.......2002-09-01

"Red diaper babies" have greeted this disc with nostalgic joy, and it captures a time and an aesthetic and a political belief with precision. Anyone interested in the emotional life of the pro-Soviet left of the 1940s should buy this disc. It's something like Henry Wallace set to music. There is much more to Robeson than that, however, and Sony has given us Robeson whole: there are songs by American masters of the musical, there are labor songs, religious songs, as well as the kind of faux-folk songs which the butcher supreme Josef Stalin encouraged and which were not taken seriously inside the USSR (except at gunpoint!!) but which were taken up by dupes around the world. This is Robeson at his least savory - willing propagandist for a vile mass murderer. Songs such as "Native Land" (fittingly, Robeson is referring to the Soviet Union) and the Red Army song are the equivalent of the "Horst Wessel Song", anthems of murder, and it is difficult to listen to the worst of them without retching. On the other hand, Robeson's commitment to American folk culture was real. "Balm in Gilead" is deeply beautiful; "John Henry" is heroic; "By an' By" is both resigned yet hopeful. "Joe Hill" captures an era in labor history. Anyone interested in American popular song should hear these. Turning to Broadway, his "Old Man River" is very fine, though Robeson changed the lyrics for political reasons and Leonard Warren has done the song better. I disagree with the editorial reviewer: "I Still Suits Me" is wonderfully playful and shows Robeson using his gorgeously rich voice to tease and poke fun. However, Marc Blitzstein's "Purest Kind of a Guy" is beyond saving - another example of Robeson recording an unworthy song by a political fellow-traveller. Ugh. But for every miss there are two hits. Robeson performs Mendelssohn's Elijah with nobility, and sings his favorite song, "Water Boy", with joyous pride: "There ain't no hammer that's on these mountains that rings like mine, boys, that rings like mine."
No one need have any fears about the mono sound quality. The orchestra in the second half of the program is at times a little dwarfed by Robeson's voice, but it generally sounds clean and colorful, and the great artist's voice rings like no other.

Robeson at his best.......2000-05-12

It's hard to believe that most of these recordings pre-date the advent of magnetic tape: the CD transfer is superlative. The songs and performance are beyond reproach. Notable is the imaginative packaging in miniature 'record album' format, complete with the original cover art, and a replica of the original Columbia record label applied to the CD.

In response to a previous question: Robeson's performance of Danny Boy (Londonderry Air) can be found on the Vanguard LP entitled "Robeson" (VRS-9037).

some of the greatest songs of the last century.......2000-05-05

In the 1940s, before rabid McCarthyism and racism had taken its toll on him, Robeson made these wonderful recordings of spirituals, classics and pop tunes. Accompanied by the solo piano of the incomparable Lawrence Brown, or by an orchestra, the songs ring out with pride, dignity, skill and unmatched integrity. The shameful treatment that Robeson was subject to from American authorities certainly seem grotesquely absurd to a modern listener. The wonderful version of "The House I Live In" included on this cd should forever kill off any suspicion that Robeson did not love his country deeply. This album ought to be heard by millions of people, world wide. Robeson's voice is nothing less than a glorious high point in 20th century music, and it's hard to think of any recording capturing it to greater advantage.

"Don't place faith in human beings...".......2006-03-23

I haven't heard this CD is quite some time and so while I was digging around through some of my $hit I found it and realized that I used to LOVE this CD...well, the song "Butterfly Wings" which in my opinion (and seems like quite a few other reviewers) makes this CD. The other songs are great and deeply political, but it's 'Butterfly Wings' that is still the best track here and a HUGE reason to purchase it. Love that song. Sometimes just one track can be worth the $15.00 and 'Butterfly WIngs' is that track.

Deeply Political.......2006-01-07

I bought this album because of Butterfly Wings and promptly put it on the shelf for a few months. Once I began listening to it again I recognized that it really fit the disillusionment I felt at the time for society and the structure of power in the United States- this is an album that requires, well, concentration.

Not only is the music catchy and borderline hypnotic in its ability to pull you into a mood, the lyrics paint a picture of an America that has the face of a virgin but the soul of a whore. An extremely powerful album.

Albert Speer, Limiter, Lilith/Eve and Trigger for Happiness really stand out but I'd be hard-pressed to name a weak track on this disc.

Who knew?.......2005-08-22

Who would have thought that a band that good could have been from Tucson, Arizona. Few people know that they formed while going to the University of Arizona film school. They decided to make their own music for one of their film projects. Then Suzie Dunn at local rock station KLPX got ahold of one of the songs and started playing it on the radio. Next thing you knew they had an album and were out touring with the likes of Nitzer Ebb and the Cocteau Twins. It's a shame they broke up.

Still awesome to this day.......2005-05-05

No one but the special few even know who Machine Of Loving Grace are anymore unless they heard "The Crow Soundtrack". That song was good, but man this album kick so much ass. If you like KMFDM or Pretty Hate Machine-era Nine Inch Nails, then you should like this. The bass on this cd is really thick and funky and is the best thing on this cd. The drums are nice and heavy too. Scott Benzel's voice is sleazy enough to get the job done and with the synths and some funky guitar licks, Concentration ends up becoming a catchy, memorable industrial album. Listen to the samples, or buy this on a whim because its totally worth it, even if they arent around anymore. Get Gilt too, although just so you know its totally different. Gilt has no keyboards and the funky industrial feel is gone, but the sound is still heavy its just more metal than anything. Note: This band is better than My Life W/ The Thrill Kill Kult. Standout tracks are Content?, Butterfly's Wings, Limiter, and definitley Lilith/Eve...that song is very creepy. For those who like their music loud and heavy. Rocketh on!

Machines, You Are Not Forgotten.......2004-07-22

MOLG have the honor of being one of my favorite bands of all time. No, not every song sounds like The Crow soundtrack. But it has produced some excellent songs, including "Albert Speer," "Limiter," and "Ancestor Cult." There's not much to say that hasn't already been said, except that this cd is still relevant to the times and I don't think the music sounds dated at all. It's such a shame that they had to break up. Three albums is too few from this awesome industrial band.

Nowhere is the divide between the mainstream and the underground greater than in hip-hop. While most hip-hop fans nod their heads to Puff Daddy and Master P., still others take solace in the idea that artists like those who appear on Deeper Concentration exist to push the music further into the future. The artists featured on this compilation are the (presently) unknown saviors of the genre: turntablist warriors like the Beat Junkies, Mix Master Mike, and Rob Swift of the X-Ecutioners; the subversive art-hop of New York City's illbient DJ Spooky (here with Organized Konfusion); and the more straightforward hip-hop of Mass Influence. It's a shame that many mainstream fans don't know about the cut-up collages of beats and pieces found on Swift's "The Age of Television" or the understated, sublime rapping of Siah and Yeshua DapoED on the aptly titled "The Cure for Stagnation." And unlike in mainstream rap and hip-hop, here the chasm between electronic and hip-hop closes: jungle and dub inch their way next to slow breakbeats while weird, off-kilter rhythms supply a purely instrumental soundtrack and--surprise!--they don't feel a bit out of place next to the rapping and scratching. --Tricia Romano

proverbs for lacey racecar drivers backwards........2005-08-20

This mix makes no sense. How can someone put together a compilation with such mastery and sheer genius and not be awarded something far greater than a measly Nobel Prize? Each cut on this CD will have you pinching your nipples and running from the cops with a backpack full of spray cans. And if your parents catch you coming home late at night with a bag full of rattling cans, if they've heard this mix, they will understand. You will bond.

A True Cure For Stagnation.......2000-06-04

This album is a true cure for stagnation in the world of flossy jiggy rap .In an age of hiphop where to be a star you have to make enemys drive a benz smoke blunts and drink champaigne i was beginning to worry about where hip hop in general was going .The beats are refreshing the rhymes are funky the instrumentals and samples are dope this album rules. The clear highlight was Siah annd yeshua dapoeds cure for stagnation . if you liked these check REFLECTION ETERNAL and DIAMOND. a brilliantly made album but WARNING . If you are a fan of BAD BoY , Death Row , Master P etc do not buy this as you would be wasting the valuable cash which could help buy that benz and eventualy lead you to rap superstardom.

Yo this is sick. The best cutting by the best D.J.'s known to man. Get this now! Crazy up's to the boys in the 5102, Shap holding it down in the hill, and all the peeps at S&S!

A head-nodder with sonic complexity.......1999-11-27

This is the future of hip hop. Musical fusion, without pop simplicity. Here, you'll find some of the world's finest DJs and DJ crews mixing vocal and instrumental samples with some original beats to create the progressive hip hop sound you've been searching for.

If you like the Invisibl crew, Beat Junkies, Z-trip, Shadow, DJ Craze, Primo, material from the Return of the DJ series Rob Swift and the rest of the X-ecutioners, you'll love this. If you've never heard of the aformentioned, then you're probably not ready for this album.

I especially like the big band sound from track 4 (or is it 5?) combined with that big beat. Lovely. I promise you, this purchase will be money well-spent.

Super-funky mutant hip-hop at it's most raw.......1999-10-25

While it might not be quite as groundbreaking as it's predecessor, Deeper Concentration, Vol. 2 is just as innnovative as the first installment. This version places much more emphasis on rapping than the expanding instrumentals on the first volume. For the most part, the lyricists hold it down (the highlight being Siah and Yeshua DapoED's "The Cure for Stagnation"). A special treat comes in the form of "Liquidized Language," featuring a trio of British MCs who rip it just as hard as any Brooklyn head ever did. The instrumentals are also mind-blowing at times. J-Boogie's "Ritual of the Nile" is probably the best track on the whole disc, using an Indian melody and building it into a funky percussive jam. This CD has it's downfalls, though. While the idea behind Rob Swift's "The Age of Television" is great, the music backing the sample timeline is mediocre at best, as is the syncopated piano boredom of Mass Influence's contribution to the album. But for the most part, innovation + technique + Technics = Deeper Concentration, Vol. 2... pick it up.

Better than Expected - Worth Recommending.......2007-05-26

I have listened for years to slightly "doctored" classic music to enhance concentration, focus, and relaxation. I find these tapes worked very well for me even when I was writing/editing long narratives such as grants, etc. I do not like a lot of "new age" music, I tend to find it too spacey - it's ok when you are getting a massage, but not okay for staying focused, yet relaxed on a time-consuming project. I wondered if I would like this CD and if it would work. I like all the tracks well enough to listen to all of them and, at the beginning of the day or work session, I find listening to them in sequence helps me find a very productive state of mind. Once I get going, though, I tend to listen only to the second half of the disk. I would definitely recommend this CD, especially to writers.

the band is pretty cool. or well, atleast the drummer is. cant say much for the guitar. but the drums totally make up for it. the guy is amazing. the dvd is really cool. lots of little visual tricks are thrown in all over the place. dont blink or you miss them kinda things. the album isnt the band's best, but as i said, the dvd is sweet.

Try to look away.......2005-12-31

The first reviewer said it perfect, the DVD will leave you speechless. I have barely paid any attention to the EP because I cannot stop watching the DVD.

The DVD's running time is very long, about 3 hours. There is enough material in there to ignite even a skeptics interest. It is broken up into 2 parts. The first part is cleverly edited and contains a mixed bag of performances, sound checks, opening acts, backstage antics, and footage around the beautiful foriegn land (Japan). I love the 1st part for its ingenuity. Leave it to Hella to provide you with a unique concert DVD experience. The editing is superb.

The 2nd part is all one concert and the sound quality of this performance is the best of the bunch. They also seemed much tighter at this show. They definately saved the best performance for last.

The CD is very good. The standout track for me is track 2. It is quite accessible to the average experimental music fan and has a beautiful dissonance, like most Hella music.

This was my 2nd Hella purchase, after buying Hold Your Horse Is about 6 months ago. I must say that I was surprised to hear all of the synth stuff in their music now. I wasn't aware of the double album, satan isn't red, and bugs bunny before I bought Homeboy.

This album is a must have for music fans. The techniques those 2 gentlemen use to play their respective instruments must be seen to be believed!

duh review

DVD part one: Footage of urban Japan mixed with venue/concert clips. Some interesting/fun bits, though not a lot to warrant repeat viewings.
DVD part two: Solid performance with lots of mid-song improvisation. Video quality is perfect, while the sound is close (guitar needs more bass response). Onstage technical errors add to the show's memorability.
CD: Four songs... sounds like the four-piece lineup (???). Crazed electronics galore, though the guitar and drums are never too far from the maelstrom. Long enough (29+ minutes), but not quite varied enough to be considered an album.

Basically: this collection is essential for Hella fans and a worthy purchase for novices... especially since the retail price is less than a CD from Sam Goody. Thanks Hella/5RC!!!

If I were in Hella I would EAT LICK.......2005-11-16

First off, let's get the CD out of the way. It's Hella... not much more to say really. Zach's usual schizophrenic drumming, Spencer's finger-tapping and Atari noises. It's all good, but more of a group effort than Church Gone Wild/Chirpin Hard.
Now let's get to the REAL meat and potatoes.
The DVD is divided into two parts. The first is what many other band DVDs would call the "Behind the sences and bonus performances" selection. This is an hour and a half of various Hella performances during the first 4 shows of the tour, along with the band traveling from place to place, small interviews, set-up of shows, and performances by their opening bands (the best being the Japanese-girl-noise group Nisennenmondai).
The first part ends with an intermission of goldfish, and then begins the second part which is the full performance of their last show.
I've seen Hella five or six times (before their first CD was even released) and I'm astounded at the fact that they now play for so long. By the end of each show, Zach is dripping sweat (and has drenched the floor beneath him and his drum petals).
Most people don't really "get" Hella, and their CDs don't really help newcomers, but this DVD is perfect for those who have never had the pleasure.

Get it now!!!!.......2005-11-14

It may have taken me forever and a day to find this cd, but it was totally worth it. The EP is pretty good, but the DVD is worth double what i paid for it. Three hours of Hella playing live. It has everything you could ever want from the Hella experaince. If you like Hella get this now, if you dont like Hella you should give this a try because they are a great band.

Deep Concentration reinforces what you fundamentally love about hip-hop and then proceeds to flip your brain into hyperspace with some of the more progressive DJ compositions from some of the most respected turntablists around. West Coast DJ Cut Chemist (of Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli) reaches extra deep into the archives to build "Lesson 6," while DJs Swingsett and Wally find a hook in a loop of dripping water for the trippy "Centaurius Space Bass." Hip-hop purists will appreciate the X-Ecutioners' assault "A Turntable Experience" and the only MC cut, "Say What," by the lyrical marvels Latyrx. Some of the routines on Deep Concentration are sonically experimental while others, such as Prince Paul's ego trip, "DJ Prince Paul vs. the World," simply excel with excess. --Todd Levin

Although a classic of which music genre is anyone's guess. Trip hop prehaps? There so much depth to this album it boggles the mind. I purchased this album over seven years ago when I was just starting to get into DJ Shadow. If you are a fan of Shadow you need this album. This is also what I would call a "bridge" album because the artists on it are tied to so many different music scenes....I guess that's mostly because of Cut Chemist. This is a definate "must" for anyone that enjoys turntable artistry.

Customer Reviews:

Very decent..........2001-04-06

As it reads above, this is a very decent release by AL. It is, however, musically all over the place. Some songs are absolutely beatless, with speech samples and slow moving strings. Other songs are rather fast. It's rather like Orb's "Adventures..." cd in that respect, only not as mainstream.

I like that however. The only thing that becomes difficult with cd's like this is the issue of where and when to play it. It is perfect to drift off to sleep to. However, if you wake easily, one of the faster songs will come on and wake you up. By the same token, it's not music that will lend itself readily to a party.

I guess, if I had to, I would think it be a good early-morning chill-out cd. Great for the morning after kind of days. Much like some of the Cafe Del Mar or Chill-out Ibiza kind of cds.

It's a very good cd...with fantastic music. Just be aware of the nature of it....

Some great beats, but leaves you to listen to CD#2.......1999-04-21

Air Liquide's 2-CD set is pretty good, if you liked "Red", you will like the "Air" disk. There are some cool beats; some fast, some slow; but overall pretty good. You want to see what these guys are capable of after this 2-disc set.
