Dance the Devil Away.......2004-12-16

This is some of the best music around, no kidding. It's got some of the most awesome instrumentals I've ever heard. This music is perfect anywhere, no matter what you're doing, where you're going, or why you're doing it.

WARNING: This will make you dance. This will make you feel awesome. This will take you places. Do not buy this unless you are willing to risk all of the above every time you play it.

No truly, this music is awesome. Aside from the fact that, yes, it will make you dance, feel great, and take you places. It is completely worth every penny you spend on it.

GREAT.......2004-06-08

I love this CD and listen to it all the time. I got it from my dance teacher and the class loved it so much that we came up with a dance to go with it and now compete with it. All of the judges comment about the great song. (We use Animal Life)

Very good starter for the blind enthusiast.......2003-06-25

I would like to start out by explaining that I am not a fan of world music in particular, but I have an interest and the patience for all music. For anyone like me, who is primarily fond of hard rock, you just may love this album. I was initially introduced to this album by my parents and at first did not care too much for it, but with my growing interest in the fusion of heavy metal and tribal music like Sepultura has done with songs such as Kiowas, Ratamahatta, and others, I found myself looking to this album for a more purified version of what I considered to be "tribal music". Don't get me wrong, this album in no way resembles Sepultura or heavy metal for that matter, but it does give me the same sense of satisfaction from a primal point of view. All the songs are instrumental and while maintaining a similar composition, each track owns up to it's own atmosphere. My preferred tracks are *Cuban Connections*, *Animal Life* and my favorite, *Medina* which has some what of an eerie sound and presence to it. If you even think that you may be interested in an album like this, I highly recommend that you pick it up, as it will surely be a corner stone to integrating music genres into your collection.

perfect.......2003-01-19

I bought this CD not knowing anything about it. I liked didgeridoo and that was the only reason for buying it. I loved it immediately. The guitar is actually one of my favorite parts. Martin's style is very unique and fits perfectly with the rest of the band.

Great fiddlin' too.

What an album!.......2001-01-27

I bought this cd many years ago, but it has consistently remained one of my favorites. I'm not a huge fan of "world music," but this album is just so wonderfully beautiful and exotic. The music varies between the airily light-hearted and the darkly romantic. This disc is also a blessing for those unfamiliar with the didgeridoo, a simple instrument with unbelievable range. The 'doo, along with guitar, violin, and numerous African percussion instruments, creates an incredibly unique sound that has to be experienced. Buy this spectacular album, and look for Outback's other release, "Baka."

Gershwin filtered through a modern master.......2004-01-08

Michael Finnissy is finally getting his due, and this recording is one of a number of excellent recent ones that show him at his quirky best. Finnissy has completely rethought these old standards, going much further than simply taking the melodies and inserting new chords underneath them. Some freedom with the rhythms echo some of the grand old piano transcriptions from the past -- an interesting reference and high praise. And the textures here are crucial: all of the piano lines are important, from top to bottom, and Ian Pace's intelligent renderings make all of this audible.

I hope this disc, as well as Pace's other Finnissy recordings, will push the composer's profile even higher. Many of these would make clever encores in the right context. (And I look forward to those recitals!) Some listeners may find it difficult to absorb too much of this recording at once, since it's all quite concentrated. Three or four of these arrangements at one time might be recommended for newcomers. Nevertheless, this is an outstanding example of Finnissy's creative mind coupled with Pace's exemplary artistry.

Sound quality by Metier is excellent, with Finnissy's complexity put forth with wonderful clarity. A witty, enlightening and very persuasive disc.

not the Finnissy I know.......2000-04-13

Ian Pace is a marvelous pianist of the new or old complexity. He has the entire repertoire of the new under his fingers and mind. He can a be a bit passive however in the live performances I've heard in Chicago in particular. Well he is new to the scene. Finnissy on the the other hand has been making constructing,concocting and mesmerizing those who follow this music for quite some time. Like preaching to the already converted. His music taps nicely into post-modernist thinking, the mileau of utilizing borrowed found objects,already in the world- material but transformed and transmogrified in such a way that the metamorphosis becomes something quite relevant,brilliant and unexpected from the materials given, much like Kafka's insect. Finnissy's piano music is quite literally impossible to play, I don't know who can play it including everyone here mentioned. When for instance you have 72 tones against 57, resulting in an asymmetrical odd bit of musical irrationality(at least within the Western canon)who can do that? . The computer I'm on now the Finale software can play that without a flinch. Gershwin here is not transformed interestingly enough, at least from the perspective of Finnissy's other master piano concoctions like the Verdi Transcriptions or the English Country Tunes. Both those works made the materials sink and respond opaquely,virtuositically becoming part of the blizzards of tones, and filigreed moments scouring and traversing the entire register of the piano. The Gershwin here by contrast seems like a tired pianist sitting in a lounge trying to recapture an old dust-ladened flame, Casablanca? .

charming romantic musical; Ann Morrison is stunning.......2004-01-22

PEG is a charming musical version of J. Hartley Manners' immortal play PEG O' MY HEART, with music and lyrics by David Heneker. This CD features the original 1984 London cast headed by the stunning Ann Morrison as Peg herself.

The cast also includes Sian Phillips (GIGI), Edward Duke, John Hewer, Patricia Michael, Julia Sutton, David McAlister, Martin Smith, Liza Sadovy and Tim Smith.

The story of PEG translates effortlessly to the musical comedy stage, and standout numbers include "That's My Father", "Pretty Dresses", "There's a Devil in Me", "I Want to Dance" and "Manhattan Hometown".

Highly recommended. [JAY CDJAY1351]
