Great compilation - and that's just the first half........2005-09-14

I first got this on cassette in the summer of '94 and listened to it every day, drawn by its thematic range and compositional depth. And that was just side-one.

Elfman pioneered the sound that drives today's movie adaptations of comic-books and darker-themed children's stories. Side-One kicks things off with a rollicking, hyper-cartoonish theme from the first Pee-Wee movie - the one where Pee-Wee searches for his beloved bike. Elfman's theme contains layers of different rides - on tightropes, highways, in the middle of a NASCAR rally - which rudely yet melodically crash into each other.

The Batman entry actually contains several pieces - the opening credits, the extended sequence in the cathedral and the climax - which show Batman's darkened extreme at its "Frank Miller" best. (Dir. Tim Burton couldn't sustain the mood in the next sequel, and the franchise took a turn towards the camp of the TV series with the next 2 movies.)

The theme for "Dick Tracy" is perhaps the most romantic on this disc, a quality that surpasses the theme's comic-book origins, but ends on an ironic note that's pure Elfman.

"Beetlejuice" (opening & closing credits) gives Elfman's childish ID a chance to stretch its legs, or in this case, slam-dance.

"Nightbreed" is an enigma wrapped in a dark mystery, and that's just Elfman's score. Elfman's work on this movie is as good as the movie wasn't, having a more powerful narrative than the script - easily the best track on the entire disc, one likely to exceed the movie in its dose of chills.

"Darkman" doesn't quite rise to the occasion, though the score may be hobbled by the movie itself, which seldom surpassed one of the many "Batman" clones of the early 1990's. "Darkman" (the movie, I mean) excelled as a parody of many comicbook staples (the wronged hero, the relentless villain, the scientific breakthrough with just one flaw), but not enough to escape being largely anonymous. Within those constraints, it's still a moving if scary piece.

When is Elfman not like Elfman? When he was in the mid-late `80's and scored "Back to School" (A Rodney Dangerfield vehicle) and "Midnight Run". Horns in "School" bring it closer to Elfman's over-the-top style, while "Run" sounds like a love-theme for the run-down, out-of-the-way parts of America that seldom appear in Elfman-movies. "Run" is a fun score for a fun movie - it's nothing like Elfman's previous work but it perfectly captures the on-the-road-without-a-map craziness of the movie.

To this day, I don't know why I never ventured to Side-two, but it's irrelevant. Even half this disc is worth it

The best of Elfman!!!.......2005-09-05

I was obsessed about getting this CD right from when I heard about it. I found it at the library and was so excited about it, and it didn't let me down. In fact, it was a lot better than I expected. It's a fun and creepy (strange mix, but it really works!) collection of Danny Elfman's film and television soundtracks. The first track, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, is probably my favorite. Also, I really like Batman and Wisdom. Batman is creepy and dark, and Wisdom is just weird, in the best possible way.
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes film music, or everyone who is even the tiniest bit an Elfman fan. It's amazing!

Great Collection, A LIttle Too Eclectic.......2003-08-19

You should be able to tell from the movies and TV shows listed here whether or not you'd be interested in this collection. It's a little too eclectic for my tastes (hence only 4 stars) but better than volume 2. I think thatthe miscellaneous collected ites here along with the previously unreleased stuff should make this worth buying. Especially if you're a fan of Elfman's movie soundtrack work.

What Great Music.......2003-05-11

I fell in love with the music of Danny Elfman when Beetlejuice came out. There was something different about the music that he made. When Edward Scissorhands, and then Nightmare Before Christmas - I knew this man was a musical master. Its the verbal form of surrealism.

super.......2003-04-17

What a great CD. Danny's music is so original and inventive. this CD contains his pre 90's quirky, gothic music. it's all very well written and beautifully orchestrated. batman and darkman contain some really excellent long, dark, gothic cues that really take u away from reality. in my opinion no one, apart from howard shore, is as inventive and original as danny in the world of filmmusic. he far surpasses the repetitive works of williams or horner. buy this, and volume two, and keep supporting one of the greatest film composers of all time.ohh...and buy fellowship of the ring and two towers by howard shore....amazing work!

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

Album Description

Hayward Williams' "Another Sailor's Dream" is a freewheeling, shotgun wedding of folk, blues and rootsy country rock, all filled with a gorgeous blend of ache, gristle and whiskey-toned gruffness.

The album is comprised of songs that walk a perfect line between the sweet and bitter, and the sentimental and cynical, and is perfectly bookended by the opening track, "The Ballad of Benson Creek," and the finale, Williams' own earnest version of Bruce Springsteen's "Thunder Road." The eleven performances are carried out by an impressive trio of multi-instrumentalists, including accomplished singer/songwriter and co-producer Peter Mulvey (Signature Sounds Recording), Dan McMahon (Wandering Sons), along with Williams on vocals, harmonica, acoustic guitar and piano.

On this compelling debut the Milwaukee-based singer/songwriter "boasts a voice that sounds several decades older than he actually is, lending his songs of love and loss a gravity they might not otherwise possess" and "never slips into blandness or forces the quiet drama" [The Onion].

Another Sailor's Dream

Put in on and just let it flow...i could listen to this record all day and not get tired of it. Hayward's voice is deep and resonant and belies his age and stature. This is a beautiful piece of art from start to finish and Hayward's songwriting talent, cannot be denied . I cannot wait to hear more from this talented individual.

Having earned his composing stripes after the 1960s, John Adams had the pioneering work of Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and Terry Riley close at hand as he ventured into his trade. And, while minimalism's historical continuum helps place Adams, he used Reich, Glass, and Riley (among others) only as a starting point. And here's proof: a 10-CD retrospective of nearly all Adams's recorded compositions on Nonesuch Records, the label that also issued Steve Reich 1965-1995 and Kronos Quartet: 25 Years. Adams's Harmonium, a choral work of startling energy and effervescence, appears here in a new recording, as do distillations of both The Death of Klinghoffer and Nixon in China, two path-clearing operas. Over the span of a career covered by Earbox, Adams has returned minimalism to traditional instrumental ensembles as well as to projects that at once advanced a political commentary and took that commentary back to orchestral audiences. And so, in far less time than his predecessors, Adams created works that now play like standard repertoire pieces: The Wound Dresser and Shaker Loops and the Violin Concerto--all of them are here. What these works demonstrate is a fierce creativity on the one hand and perhaps a hunger for commercial advances on the other. Adams may at times be a bustling free thinker, but he sounds ever conscious of what audiences are listening to. As for the works themselves, they remain every bit as daunting as when written.

Some may object to particular selections. I Was Looking at the Ceiling and Then I Saw the Sky, for example, hardly ranks with Adams's best work. But this box isn't a mere best-of; it's an almost-all-of. At times terrifically American--especially in the news-aware operas and their narrative pragmatism--Adams well deserves a major box set, and its coverage is appropriate to his varied, stylistically diverse output. As with any large-scale retrospective, Earbox--which fairly bristles with Adams's new composition, Slonimsky's Earbox--has spots where fans might balk at the quality of the composer's writing. But it's got a fantastic accompanying booklet along with its many hours of inarguably modern and thoroughly listener-friendly music. --Andrew Bartlett

Moved to tears.......2004-03-18

Never before in my life was i moved so intensely and directly by classical music. I put the first cd in my player and a few minutes later tears are flowing. I find myself dancing and moving to a rythm i already seem to know. Wow, i just have to share that.

Nonesuch delivers.Again.......2002-11-27

John adams is one of the most popular living composers of"modern" classical music[I believe the cutoff point, though arbitrary is usually WWII}.I came to him late, through my husband. Modersn classical music , I said? What the hell is that?My husband kept playing bits and pieces of adams for me, and more and more i found myself amazed. and swayed. His operas have been groundbreaking{Nixon in China} controversial{Death Of klinghoffer},his compostions sublimely beautiful{shaker Loops or harmonium].HIS STATURE IS WORTHY THEN OF SUCH A MONUMENTAL CAREER SPANNING BOX SET.This 10 disc set[great value, again from NONESUCH}encompasses Adams' entire career,and though there are some misses here{I was looking at the ceiling and then i saw the sky doesnt quite fit},it is still magnificent. the Highlights are ,{for me} the Wound Dresser, Chamber symphony,Violin Concerto, of course, Shaker Loops and Harmonuim are wonderful. The true jewels here are Nixon in China,the Chairman dances and the Death of Klinghoffer,which is simply a masterpiece. The set comes with a wonderful book, which contains essay's by Robert Hurwitz {An Uncommon Man}renaud Machart[John adams as seen from europe} and Essays before an earbox by Adams himself.A Chronology and dicography are included. A wonderful study of an American original,worth the investment, Highly highly recommended

harmonia in excelsis.......2001-11-12

I must agree with Mr. Bartlett, particularly with regard to "Ceiling." It may well be because his Violin Concerto and Harmonielehre are so powerful. 4.5 stars.
Interesting, and likely intentional, is that two names in the extensive liner book fail to mention two great and glaringly obvious precursors: Carl Orff and Raymond Scott. Without "Carmina Burana," there would be no "Harmonium." Orff has his mark all over Adams's gifted and epic compositions. Similarly, though there are glib references to "cartoon music," the polymath engineer/musician Scott is a seminal figure in American music, and casts a large shadow over the witty juxtapositions and sense of play one loves in Adams's work. In all, an excellent career overview.

Our greatest living composer.......2001-07-22

As a composer, I'm staggered that anyone could fail to be gripped by this music.

That anyone can use the words "spoiled, overrated" amazes me. I emphatically disagree with "A music fan"'s review.

I don't think it's "mind-numbing"; I think it's spiritual and exciting. To me it's the most substantial music being created in our times.

I'm really sorry that anyone could fail to enjoy it, and really recommend others to listen for themselves.

Wonderful CD.......2000-04-02

This compilation should turn even the most curmudgeonly listerner into a fan. Beautifully recorded, great notes -- and it's a heck of a bargain!

Older Loudness fans are definitely in for a surprise..........1999-09-18

I just recently purchased this double album & I have to say, I was definitely surprised by the direction the band has taken, but not disappointed. The band (including Akira, the world's greatest heavy metal guitarist) shred their way through the 23 songs with their talent & experience showing every step of the way. Only a few of the songs miss the mark, but most are very well done. They mix some very 90's elements into their music, with one song sounding like Alice In Chains, while another one left me thinking I had stuck Metallica in by mistake. But don't mistake these 2 albums for American rip-offs, Loudness continue to carve their own niche. It's too bad these aren't available in the US, but they're really worth every cent of the import price. Highly recommended!!!!

Takes getting used to.......1999-05-26

This 2 CD set contains Loudness' current album, Dragon, and the previous one called Ghetto Machine. If you haven't heard from Loudness since 1990 or so, well you're in for a surprise. Akira Takasaki is the only original member left and has opted for a more heavier, slower sound with this lineup. The songs are kinda hit and miss, Dragon I think being the better of the two discs. And the one weird thing is, there are songs where Akira doesn't solo AT ALL! Some of those songs needed some his shredding--badly. When he *does* solo it's great, but again not enough of it...Akira, the new sound is fine, just more lead guitar please! Have to disagree with the other reviewer, this is NOT the best Loudness album ever--IMHO Disillusion or Thunder In The East are better candidates for that honor.

akira has never played better and the whole band is so tight and heavy its unbelievable a dream come true.

this cd's got a good groove.......1999-09-11

I first heard of MVM only a couple of years ago and i picked suffersystem...a decent album but nothing spectacular, but when i saw that they had a new album i decided to give 'em another chance...well, needless to say, i am VERY impressed by this disc 'specially dragon style and color my soul grey and i agree 100% w/ the reviewer below me; instead doing the whole rap-metal fad thing they went and made an excellent metal album w/ heavy blues/southern influences-kinda sounds like Down's Nola but faster and better!!

These guys didn't do it for the nookie.......1999-08-16

The only thing I can imagine the above two reviewers missing from the new MVM is the psuedo-techno feel. The programmer left the band, and took the sound effects with him. Make no mistake, Suffersystem is one of my alltime favorite albums as well. But it is simply a product of ignorance and a narrow view to call Direct Reaction Now an alternative anything, except perhaps an alternative to the alternative. To put it mildly, this cd is a fierce response to all the posing metal-hop bands whose primary audience is teenage girls. This is a juggernuat, a full throttle assault of the sickest, heaviest GROOVES that I have heard in a long time. All the things that made this band distinctive are still there, pared down to its raw essentials. The punk edge is more pronounced-its a faster cd overall-and Sewall's writing has improved. There are less effects on his voice, and the drums are more prominent in the mix. The guitar harmonies are some of the best I've heard from them. Unlike so many band-wagons, MVM have been true to their influences, and it's easy to hear. There are hints of COC; driving hardcore laced with rock n' roll. Just listen to Dragon style, or I have seen the rise, which has two of the best measures of music I've ever heard, followed by one of the smoothest, heaviest changes. MVM has not only held on to their integrity and spirit through some hard times, they have whittled off the excess and srengthened these things. They have gone the less traveled path, as virtually no metalers have these days, and this cd is in your face, makes no excuses, involves no hip-hop, and I laugh every time I listen to it, the GROOVE is so good, so driving. Understand, people. This is deep, deep in the pocket. Any other technohiptripangstdrivel pales.

Not what I've come to expect from this band........1999-03-02

With their recent break up and reforming, Monster Voodoo Machine seems to have lost something (besides a couple of members). Their music has lost much of it's originality that came from having many members with varied musical backgrounds, and inexplicably (for a Canadian), the lead singer appears to have picked up a southern accent somewhere along the way. Being that "Suffersystem" is one of my all-time favorite albums, I had high expectations for this cd, which it did not live up to. They still are, however, a great band, and there are several good songs on this album, and the album is, as a whole, still quite listenable.

weak.......1999-02-11

first off, i love this band. but i don't care for this cd. it is overall weaker than any of their other cds (except for defense mechanism which was a remix single that also sucked.) almost sold out. it's recycled alternative dribble. there are maybe 2 or 3 good songs on the cd...and they are just mediocre. it's just not the same as their old stuff. buy state voodoo/state control or suffer system. then write the band a letter and tell them to revert to playing hardcore.

Product Description

Yehuda Yannay and Jon Welstead have compiled a collection of collaborative music that explores interactions between electronics and performers. The title 'The Ghost In The Machine' is an homage to Arthur Koestler (it is also the title of one of Koestler's works) and to his writings on the processes of human creativity in which he described a blurred boundary between dispassionate reason and intuition. And the title fits the music, which blurs the roles between electronics and performers. 'The Ghost In The Machine' grew out of music-theatre productions that Jon Welstead and Yehuda Yannay have presented during the past ten years. Works on this recording have met with phenomenal reviews.
