classic music CD.......2007-06-27

The CD was well represented by the clips on the Amazon website and came in time for our event. We did have a problem with the charge but that was taken care of promptly. Great service.

Good for beginners.......2007-02-15

It is an excellent collection of classical music. I would recommend this CD if you have a friend who don't like classical music, since it has the most beautiful overtures and portions of famous artists. If you are a Classic Music Savvy you probably will not be impressed by it, unless you want to play the CD as background music in a friends gathering.

Great mix.......2007-02-14

All the best composers! Over an hour of music. A samble of the greatest pieces.

Good for first-timer.......2007-01-22

This is the first time I have ever bought a classical music CD and I was very pleased with this one. It has a good variety of selections. I would buy it again.

This CD contains a smattering of all the traditional pieces you would expect to be played during a wedding ceremony which is why I purchased it. I do like it and it will be used at my ceremony. I prefer a little more big orchestral sound but this will do nicely.

I bought this CD for my ballet classes and am really happy with it. It has all of the classics, and each is very true to it's original composition. There are a lot of horns, which are not my favorite, but the strings make it worth every penny!

Album Description

2007 two CD follow up to the best-selling debut compilation from The Thrillseekers, who are renowned for their high-profile remixes, including reworks for Tiësto, Armin, Ferry Corsten and Chicane. Almost frighteningly upfront, Disc One has more than a splash of exclusives about it and includes the shiny new Thrillseekers single. 'Conversely', Disc Two shines the spotlight on the tracks that Steve Helstrip has hammered gig in, gig out, across the world, over the last 12 months. All in all, here at Team Thrillseekers, we are pretty confident that we've achieved, dare we say it, the near-impossible: an even better compilation than the first! 30 tracks including cuts from Marco V, Joop, Delerium, Supermodels From Paris, Above & Beyond, Lange, Simon Patterson and more.

Customer Reviews:

Awesome mix!.......2007-07-29

Having heard the the previous nightmusic vol. 1, I was pretty hyped for this mix. The Thrillseekers delivered once again. Both discs are great, although I prefer disc 1 more. Standout songs for me would be waiting here for you, angel falls, always a fool, late summer fields, angelicus, and many more. All mixed for your listening pleasure..

If you haven't listened to the first volume yet, try that first before this one. It's even better :D

Good Stuff!!.......2007-07-27

What a wonderful cd this is. Both disc 1 and disc 2 boast some great tracks. Disc 1 is brilliant and follows along the same lines as disc 2 of Anjunabeats Volume 5. It starts off with an absolute beauty of a track called "Waiting here for you", the vocals and melodic sound of the track is stunning. The rest of the tracks that follow are also brilliant, giving disc 1 a melodic-progressive feel to it. Really enjoyed disc 1.

The only thing that disappointed about the cd was the arrangement of the tracks on disc 2. It left me with that confused feeling but still very good with some of the tracks on disc 2 more than made up for this disappointment. The tracks I speak of are "headstrong - the truth", "delirium - angelicus", "filo & peri - ordinary moment" , and "mind one - hurt of intention".

Overall this is an excellent compilation from The Thrillseekers. Very good track selection and mixing. Definitely better than Night Music volume 1, so if you enjoyed that cd then you will simply love this one. This compilation is a must have for any trance lover.

Good Stuff!!

Named for a cut that originally appeared on his Tumbleweed Connection album, Madman Across the Water yielded some of Elton John's earliest AOR staples. "Tiny Dancer," like the previous "Your Song," was introduced and carried by John's masterful piano composition. The song's sense of longing also employed the falsetto chorus that would become as much of a trademark as his costumes. "Levon," another entry into the John/Taupin "ballad of" category, is one of their finest pieces. The orchestration gives the song not only its sense of foreboding, but also its release of tension as the song ends. "Rotten Peaches" became a favorite, as did "Holiday Inn." There's also a different interpretation of the title track than appeared on Tumbleweed Connection. --Steve Gdula

Customer Reviews:

Elton John's Second Great CD.......2007-08-06

MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER was Elton John's second great album, following the Old West tales of the concept release TUMBLEWEED CONNECTION. The best song here is the title track, which sounds like a psychotic person speaking incoherent babble from the confines of a mental institution. Perhaps it shows better than any alterna-rock song what the price of excessive self-indulgence is, and I take it as a warning not to use an alcoholic beverage to toast my grandfather on his 95th birthday. This CD, along with TUMBLEWEED CONNECTION, HONKY CHATEAU, GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD, ROCK OF THE WESTIES, and CARIBOU, is one of Elton John's must-own individual CDs.

Keep listening over and over!.......2007-07-12

I have been dipping into the early Elton albums lately, and this one stops me cold and has me listening over and over. The Taupin lyrics on this album are masterpieces, and Elton delivers them with feeling and perfect melody. This album shows why this team has put out some of the best songs in popular music. True artists. Levon and Indian Sunsets are must haves for any Elton fan.

When Music Was Great.......2007-06-27

It is hard to imagine anyone who has not at least heard or Sir Elton John. He is the piano maestro who would bring Bernie Taupin's lyrics to life with the perfect musical arrangement. The 1970's saw Elton John become the outlandish arena rock, superstar. Unlike other stars, such as Madonna, Elton's outlandishness did not eclipse the music. While his big hits such as, "Good-bye Yellow Brick Road" and "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", or "Bennie and the Jets" were huge, some of the earlier work showed the promise. "Madman Across the Water" is probably one of the most underrated albums of all time. In 1971 this effort should have been the freashest breath of air out there. Over the decades ballads have become anathema to stadium rock due to their often formulaic blandness. Let it be noted that before "Good-bye Yellow Brick Road", "Madman Across the Water" yielded two of the best ballads ever written, "Tiny Dancer" and "Levon". It was really years later when these songs became appreciated for their timeless brilliance. Both songs evoke a heartfelt emotion and beauty that few balladeers have been able to touch. While those two songs found a big audience on Elton John's greatest hits collection, put into context on the Madman album, they become something more. The title track is epic and sweeps one away with its lush orchestration and length. "Indian Sunset" is another such song and fairly well brings tears to your eyes. All of the songs are well crafted and orchestrated making them moving and powerful thirty-six years later. There were no sappy ballads on this album, just great, solid music. A real testament to a true artist. Any serious music aficionado needs to have this cd in their collection if they don't already have it on vinyl. Here, here, to a time when the music was truly great.

Dam good.......2007-05-13

This is a very under-rated album in the Elton John cannon. OK it probably isn't as good as Honky Chateau or Tumbleweed Connection, but I suspect that its more to do with the lack of a successful single than the quality of the songs on the album. With the exception of the very short "Goodbye" (1:48) only one other track (Razor face 4:40) is under 5 minutes in length. So unless they edited the songs there was no chance of a single from this album.

The album was recorded in 1971 and kicks of with "Tiny Dancer". Its a great opening track, but its beaten by track 2 "Levon". This has one of Eltons patented Piano introductions, a great lyric and arrangement and is one of Eltons greatest tracks never to be released as a single. Full credit should also be given to Paul Buckmasters great string arrangements on this track and many of the others well.

Careful reading of the credits to this album will reveal many well known musicians playing on this album. For example a number of tracks have Rick Wakeman playing Organ and Ray Cooper makes one of his earliest appearances on an Elton John album on "All the Nasties".

I've been playing this album for 30 years or more now and its well worth getting.

Music is life.......2007-03-27

I'm not an avid Elton John fan, I've just like the occasional hit on the radio.

This is an album I enjoyed and I'm not looking for more by EJ.

I don't have much use for organized religion but this album was beyond such nonsense. I gave this 5 stars because I think it was the best of EJ before he became the superstar: sound quality was excellent.

This is a fantastic cd for any mood you're in! If you're feeling down, listening to it will pick you up and revive your spirit! If you are already in a great mood, this cd will enhance that feeling and keep you rolling through your day.. or night! My favorite time to pop it in is when I am overwhelmed and completely stressed out - ready to collapse or just give up on the day! The title track - Nothing but the Water - builds up to the most energetic, rhythmic, inspirational peak, then slows down at the end to completely remove every last ounce of stress from head to toe. :)

Nothing But the Water? Yea that's pretty much all you need........2007-07-28

My first exposure to Grace Potter and the Nocturnals was live, and that night I picked up this CD right after their set ended. It didn't leave my CD player for weeks, and that was only because I ordered their first CD "Original Soul". Though back to the business at hand. The CD has a very 70's feel to it, and thankfully doesn't sound overproduced like alot of today's CDs. There's a perfect blend of songs, higher energy tunes like "Sweet Hands" and "Nothing But the Water", bluesy tunes like "2:22", and mellower tunes like "Toothbrush and My Table" and "Ragged Company" which have a sort of a 'sit back and take it all in' vibe to them. I've already worn out that first copy I bought of the album and have purchased a 2nd as well, money well spent. If you haven't seen them in concert, do yourself a favor and do so as well, you won't be disappointed in the CD or the show.

Got to Listen!.......2007-07-13

Amazing album. Grace Potter is an amazing artist and this album is a must hear. Recorded in an empty barn, the band just hung out for a week and recorded music together, they sound like they have been playing together for years. What a great band and great soul.

Very promising new artist.......2007-03-02

There is a blues and gospel influence on the songs on this disc although the songs are not straight blues or gospel. You can hear this in Grace's voice and the arrangements. She reminds me somewhat of Susan Tedeschi, who is also from New England. This is a very strong effort from a young artist. I think she can be around a long time if she stays true to her roots and avoids doing work that the record companies think they can sell better.

Rips A Rock & Roll Hole.......2007-02-25

The music on "Nothing But the Water" grabbed me as I audio-browsed from a retailer sound wall. The opening track "Toothbrush & My Table" grabbed me as Grace's powerful vocals introduced me to this young singer, "I know I done you wrong but here we are face to face." Her band runs hot on many of the stellar tracks. "Sweet Hands" rips a rock & roll hole with the band playing flat out with Scott Tournet's electric slide a standout. Grace's no-holes-barred vocals bust it through the roof, "Seems there's nothing I can do to get a little bit of love from the hands of you." "Nothing But the Water Part 2" is a stunner with Grace's surging B-3 organ setting the pace. The DVD shot by Vermont Public Television is an excellent video presentation that reveals this a hot live band. Potter gives DVD homage to Lucinda Williams by inserting Williams' "Joy" into the middle of her own "Joey." This excellent independent release gives the promise for more. Room for growth presents itself in the songwriting; some of the songs could benefit from more melodic imagination. What is here is worth repeated listening. Enjoy!

The tape consists of 25 traditional wedding songs played by big orchestras; the music was beautiful and made a small ceremony into a special, unforgettable ceremony.

Excellent resource for wedding planners.......2007-04-05

I work regularly with people planning church weddings who want the service to be dignified, traditional and formal. Often they have "ear memory" of music they've heard in other weddings, but no idea about its composer or title. This CD is the best compilation I've found of music that fits those requirements. Selections include great music and performances make it easy to imagine how they would sound in a particular church or other setting. Includes works by Protestant, Catholic and secular composers.

No one can say Simon & Garfunkel went out with a whimper. The popular duo's 1970 swan song produced four hit singles and won six Grammy awards, including Record, Album, and Song of the Year. An involving mix of sweeping epics ("The Boxer," the title track) and breezy throwaways (a live cover of the Everly Brothers' "Bye Bye Love," the rock & roll trifle "Baby Driver"), Bridge was one of the most popular albums of its era. What's particularly striking about this collection is how brightly lesser-acclaimed songs like "So Long Frank Lloyd Wright" and the gorgeous "The Only Living Boy in New York" shine. (The 2001 reissue adds a pair of demos to the original work, including the traditional "Feuilles-O.")--Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

Simon & Garfunkel at their finest............2007-06-08

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER was my introduction to Simon & Garfunkel, as a young child. We owned the original vinyl edition, and I am (honestly) surprised that I didn't wear a hole through it! That's how often I lstened to it. Quickly, I memorized most of the songs and was constantly singing along to Art Garfunkel's light falsetto, that blended so well with Paul Simon's steadfast, slightly lower voice, in their singing duo. This album is filled with classic S&G songs that still remain very well known today. The title song is gorgeous and haunting, "El Condor Pasa" is their English language take on a traditional Incan melody rich with powerful lyrics, "Cecilia" is upbeat and syncopated, "The Boxer" can still bring tears to my eyes, and the rest of the songs are equally compelling (for different reasons). There are layers of brilliance, on BRIDGE, in the arrangements, delivery, and melody that carry the body of work with power and grace. I am sure you will agree and that is why I can't reccomend this masterpiece more.

Bridge.......2007-05-12

this album reminds me of my childhood. It is the ultimate Simon and Garfunkle album.

culmination of their evolution into pop music artists.......2007-03-07

As my title states, I believe this album is the culmination of S&G's evolution from a message-driven anti-war folk duo to phenomenal pop music artists. Some may find that evolution distasteful, even a betrayal of what their previous work accomplished. For me, what overcomes such thoughts is the simple beauty of the music. Yes, the title track sounds a bit overproduced, but the message and feeling still come through loud and clear, and no other performer of this song has come close to conveying what S&G were able to in their original recording.
El Condor Pasa brought Peruvian music to the pop world, an inkling of Paul Simon's later penchant for integrating world music into his work. My mother will forever quote the second line of that song when she wants to motivate me to do something ("I'd rather be a hammer than a nail"), and I guarantee that that song, as well as almost every other one on the album, will be remembered long after we are all gone.
One of the much criticized tracks in this forum has been "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright". It happens to be one of my all time favorite recordings. Mr Wright was and is a hero to me, standing for American originality, defiance of the status quo; the song is a fitting tribute. It is stunning in its simplicity, and Garfunkel's vocals are unmatched in their angelic tenor. And what pop or rock guitarist today could play the lovely guitar part in this song?
The rest are memorable, except for their live cover of "bye bye love", which, I will agree with others here, was a mistake to throw in. Certainly in my top 10 albums of all time.

great music.......2007-03-04

What a *fantastic* emotional album Bridge Over Troubled Water is. It's almost funny to me that this album was released almost on the same date as Black Sabbath's debut! This just goes to show how diverse and interesting the rock scene was back in the late 60's and 70's.

Anyone who loves taking an emotional roller-coaster ride will get a HUGE amount of satisfaction out of this album. Simply put- a must have. You will love this album now, and probably for the rest of your life. Buy it right now.

4.5 stars: Good album that falls apart at the end.......2006-10-05

A lot to like here, the very best songs being the legendary title track, the Boxer and The Only Living Boy in New York - Cecilia, El Condor Pasa, Baby Driver and Try to Keep the Customer Satisfied are also good songs. But some of these songs fall apart, particularly the last three: Song for the Asking feels incomplete; Why Don't You Write Me is a throwaway; the live cover of Bye Bye Love doesn't add much. Probably their best, though Bookends is also quite good.

Album Description

Hayley Westenra's new album Odyssey was always going to be a different proposition to Pure, the record-breaking 2003 collection which marked her international debut. A lot has happened to the young New Zealander over the past two or three years--and those changes are clearly reflected by a record which encapsulates her growth from a budding teenage prodigy into a mature young woman.

Now, at 18, Hayley is ready to show the world how much she has grown up, both as an artist and as an individual. Fans of Pure will be pleasantly surprised by her new album. Her wonderful voice retains its crystal-clear purity, but Westenra's singing is now richer and more rounded than before. Touring the world and singing in some of its greatest concert venues, such as the Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall, and Carnegie Hall, has worked wonders for her confidence. Suitably emboldened, she has embraced an even wider range of musical styles including classical, hymns, folk and pop.

"I was happy with Pure at the time, but I've moved on so much," says Hayley. "It's really exciting to have something new out there for people to listen to. I wanted to make a record that represented me as a person. And I think I've improved as a vocalist."

Variety is certainly one of the keywords with Hayley's new album. When she first entered a recording studio in New Zealand as a 12-year-old, Westenra restricted herself to classical pieces and show tunes. Now, in addition to impressive takes on classical works, Hayley uses her new album to perform an inspired cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" and has arranged and written much of the material. "I like to push myself, and I'm now confident enough to try different things. I have been much more involved behind the scenes with this album--I wanted to put my individual stamp on each song."

With her career stretching out promisingly before her, Hayley is also keen to continue experimenting. She is still primarily a classical crossover artist but she also wants to keep broadening those musical horizons. Three years after her international debut CD, Hayley Westenra is still pure: she exudes pure quality and she remains pure class--but her musical journey continues with her new album Odyssey.

Wonderful melodies.......2007-06-08

This is a wonderful CD with beautiful melodies. Hayley Westenra has a very pure voice and sings right on key. The melodies are very relaxing and the musical settings are well arranged.

Hayley Westenra - Odyssey.......2007-06-08

Pure, crystalline, angelic voice. Gorgeously produced. "Prayer" is stunning. "Both Sides Now" wonderful. The rest is good but not her best song selection. When I first heard this girl on the "Celtic Woman" tour I was totally blown away. None of her CDs will disappoint!

Very soothing.......2007-05-14

Hayley Westenra's Odyssey is a very beautiful CD. If you switch on your walkman and listen to the CD's tracks non-stop, you'll soon feel like you're flying in Heaven. It's very soothing and heavenly. It calms you down, without causing you to feel lonely or sad because you're listening to it in solitary, like other vocal or classical songs do sometimes.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested. Quanta Qualia and Ave Maria are my most favourite tracks. Quanta Qualia is pure magic! I really feel as if I'm flying in Heaven when I listen to it.

very good pop singer voice.......2007-05-13

the selections were tasteful and varied. the singer has a very good pop singer voice. i would have liked some voice variation between songs. all were sung in exactly the same style. good singing but without tonal variation the disk tends to be bland. i hope that as she gets more exposure she will vary her voice to make the songs stand out individually instead of letting them blend into one song on the disc. i would rate this 5 stars except for that major fault.

Voice & level head deserve high marks .......2007-04-20

Not only has Hayley Westenra's voice remained "pure", but her good sense and sensibilty has stayed intact when so many similar young performers have gone over the deep end with extreme behavior and disreputable remarks. On this CD Miss Westernra covers a number of songs in her own special style, such as excellent versions of "Prayer", "May It Be" and "Both Sides Now". I hope to hear her renditions of more such tunes, old and new. I would like to hear her sing songs like "Yesterday", "I Still Believe in Love" and All I Know. She has a way with her soaring vocals that never lets the listener down.

Amazingly Thrilling Rollercoaster Ride!.......2007-06-15

I expected there to be only a handful of songs that would sound great but it turns out that the entire CD is really just one crazy roller coaster of unique trancey sounds. This is the first CD I ever bought that I can listen to all the way through to the last track enjoying each track along the way, while not skipping past anything.

When I first bought this CD I thought I was making a mistake because I never heard of "The Thrillseekers", who apparently is one guy, not the assumed two-three DJ's. However, I should never judge trance by it's jewel case anymore. This CD amazed me and I'm starting to like the Nightmusic series better than In Search of Sunrise and A State of Trance. We'll see what happens in the second volume coming out this month.

A perfect trance collection..........2007-05-21

Wow! What a powerful trance collection... This collection, together with Armin's State of Trance 2006 and ATB's In the Mix 3, are the most perfect trance collections of the last 5 years (I would add Tiesto's In search of sunrise - Los Angeles, but it's not 100% trance, since it has some chill out tunes).
I'll be anxiously waiting for the next Thrillseeker's album!

Cool.......2007-05-15

Hey it turns out everyone who liked this was right .... I do too. Good solid trance to dance to.

MOODY.......2007-03-09

I love this cd its the best in the world and I cannot explain the intensity of the music better than that.

VOCALS.......2007-02-17

WHY IS IT THAT VOCALS ARE SHOWING UP MORE AND MORE IN TRANCE?

To me their distractions!

DJ's and Producers PLEASE LEAVE THE BUBBLEGUM POP VOCALS for the teeny-bopper radio!

This set lost the fifth star just because of Who's Knocking (Ferry Corsten Remix).

Take the songs with vocals in them out and you still have 22 good trance songs.
