wonderful.......2007-06-09
This is an amazing compilation of music. Clare de Lune is one of my all-time favorite pieces but this whole CD is amazing.
TIMELESS IS... WELL, TIMELESS!.......2007-02-16
WOW, THIS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC CD IS WONDERFUL, I HAD A BETTER TIME LISTENING TO IT THAN WATCHING BROTHER THEODORE'S LIVE SHOW AT THE 13TH STREET THEATER IN NEW YORK CITY'S GREENWICH VILLAGE. GREAT CD, PERFECT TO MAKE LOVE BY...WITH THE LIGHTS DOWN LOW & A BOTTLE OF MOET WHITE STAR CHAMPAGNE.
He's Done It Again!.......2007-01-10
WOW! I first heard Michael Dulin on the internet and became a fan. His arrangements are so fresh and transcending. I feel like I'm listening to his soul journeying through each piece. Thank you, Michael, for allowing me to journey with you.
Soundscapes.......2005-09-20
I first heard this cut on Soundscapes on my Direct TV. I looked it up and Amazon had it! I have played it for dinner parties, cigar smoking, fine wine drinkin and am just plain happy I was spontaneous to use some of my credits to treat my life to some wonderful music.
A Timeless Classic!!.......2004-11-11
Michael Dulin brings New Age genre to its Classical roots with his 2004 release, "Timeless". Dulin provides us with a wonderful selection of tracks written by some of the greatest composers of all time. Listeners not familiar with the Classical geniuses of the 18th and 19th Century will be surprised with some of the compositions that we hear everyday in use with TV commercials and movies. Composers such as Debussy (Clair de Lune), Beethoven (The Emperor's Adagio), Bach (Prelude) and many others. My personal favorite is Simply Satie by French composer Erik Satie. (I've always wondered who composed this music because I heard the group, Blood, Sweat & Tears and Saxophonist Gato Barbieri perform this same melody on their albums.) Once again, as he did with previous CD reviewed by us, Dulin showcases his great talents as an arranger and pianist. His strong aesthetic attention to detail in the production is a testament to this outstanding recording. I recommend this CD to anyone who would like to rediscover the Classics.

Customer Reviews:
Boring, Repetetive, Made-for-TV Movie Theme Music.......2003-04-30
If it doesn't bother you to listen to the same maudlin, overly sentimental musical phrase over and over and over and over and over again, ad infinitem, by all means, purchase this album and enjoy. Be forwarned, *both* songs on this album contain the aforementioned same musical phrase. You may find yourself wondering if your CD player is just stuck.
The music is reminiscent of the soundtrack to a made-for-tv movie in which a young mother dies of cancer in the autumn, leaving behind her mourning husband and two small children - just WAY too sentimental, "sweeping" and "sweet" sounding to be taken seriously.
If you are looking for pleasant listening music and are into musical minimalism, try some Eno, Glass or Arvo Part. There are composers out there who are doing FAR more interesting things with the technique of repetition. Don't waste your money on Aeoliah.
Music entrepreneur.......2000-08-15
I've heard many mediocre piano albums by various contemporary artists/composers. However, this album by Aeoliah, is truly an outstanding album. It evokes feelings of the neo-classic era and radiates musical images and the genius of such brilliant composers as Franz Lizst, Chopin, and Gabriel Faure. Angel's Touch flows with an elegant style and grace, with beautiful piano melodies woven in and out of finely orchestrated strings, angelic choirs,and harp arpegios, brining back the romance of the classic era but with a new, more contemporary twist. A very refined work that touches the heart deeply with its elegance, depth, and profound beauty.

Album Description
With their own twist,SIMPLY JANE captures the timeless elements of classic rock...the sing along melodies, universal stories and hands-in-the-air choruses. The band's eclectic line-up of musical histories combine to produce a sound best described as Melissa Etheridge singing Rolling Stones lyrics over AC/DC guitar hooks! Listen to their DEBUT album, "Greatest Hits,"and you will get a definite feeling of being at the start of something big.
Customer Reviews:
They rocked the house down.......2004-04-11
They showed up here at the University of Wyoming. I stopped in just to listen to a few tunes, and ended up on the floor with the rest of the crowd. Jana's vocals are amazing. She's a cross between every great female rock legend out there. The band played with amazing energy and kept us well entertained from the start to the end. They left us begging for more, and although they currently only have 2 albums, I expect there'll be more on the way.
This band is a fresh reminder of what rock and roll really is.
They keep ya rockin' !.......2003-08-02
I saw them live at the Casper Events center! EXCELLENT! :)
WOW ! THESE HICKS FROM WYOMING REALLY ROCK !.......2003-07-14
I WENT TO A BOB DYLAN CONCERT AND THIS BAND WAS THE "GUEST BAND". I WAS COMPLETLY IMPRESSED. THIS "GUEST BAND" ROCKED BOB DYLAN OFF THE STAGE.
THE LEAD FEMALE SINGER HAS AN ALANIS MORISSETTE/ JOAN JET/ MELISSA ETHRIDGE/ JANIS JOPLIN LYRIC STYLE. HER MOVES RESEMBLE THE LATE / GREAT JIM MORISSON. THE LEAD GUITARIST IS A REAL SHOW BOAT BUT CAN BACK IT UP AND REALLY PLAY SOME HONEST LICKS. THIS ROCK-N-ROLL BAND PERFORMS AS IF THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING TOGETHER ALL OF THEIR LIVES. VERY SOLID ROCK-N-ROLL THAT HAS A BEAT THAT RUNS THREW YOUR VEINS.
I BOUGHT THIS CD AND I JUST KEEP PLAYING IT OVER AND OVER.
MOVE OVER ALANIS SIMPLY JANE IS ROLLING THREW !
THIS BAND HAS A GREAT FUTURE AHEAD OF THEM !
BANDS LIKE THIS ARE KEEPING ROCK-N-ROLL ALIVE !
Simply Jane--Simply the BEST.......2003-07-12
Simply Janes album is great. I have the second album also and they are both great. Look for them to play the lead in at Bob Dylan's, Billings, Montana show coming soon.
WOW...It's STILL in my CD Player........2002-07-27
I purchased "Simply Jane" on a whim just for the experience of hearing from an "unknown". I don't expect that this group will remain unknown for long. Their music has depth, emotion and remarkable range. Their original lyrics take the listener on a musical journey of universal experience. Any listener would be able to relate to almost every single on this CD. This is a first rate piece of work that should be a staple of every serious music collection. More importantly, if you enjoy really good music with well thought out and original lyrics, then you should buy this cd! What I want to know is, when is the next release?

Album Description
What makes a wonderful song? My own view is that a great song is that magical combination of a good poem with good music, resulting in a whole that is greater than the mere sum of its parts. This is a collection of some wonderful songs of France, both "classical" and pop, dating from about 1800 through the 20th century. There are songs of nostalgia, playfulness, tragedy, loneliness, irony, and mystery, mostly involving love in its myriad guises. It has been an adventure -- exploring the nuances of the language and the music. I hope you enjoy listening to these songs as much as we have enjoyed working on and performing them. Eileen Mager.
Customer Reviews:
No no no no.......2005-02-07
Wonderful selections, but if we are looking for a beautiful voice this is not it. Screechy, forced, at times unlistenable. Sometimes we just have to no when to say no!
A clever fusion.......2005-01-31
Imagine modern French chansons like Jacques Brel's Ne Me Quitte Pas or the well known Sous le Ciel de Paris performed in the style of Schubert lieder --- no percussion or elaborate instrumental backing, just a voice, singing in the traditional formal style, with piano accompaniment. That's roughly the idea behind Eileen Mager's recording of Classic French Songs.
It works well. The effect is not what one normally expects from French cafe music, but then, Mager includes songs by Debussy, Faure, and Satie, so it is to hardly surprising that the overall flavour is of a lieder recital. While Mager's voice is not the smoothest and most honeyed soprano around, and she uses falsetto for her upper range, nevertheless she hits the notes spot on, and the rough tones somehow suit the songs. Even as a lieder recital, one wants the hint of tobacco and absinthe when the song is about Mister Giorgina playing the accordion in a bistro with no name.
Amateurish.......2003-06-29
I'm sorry to be negative, but I feel that the two previous reviews are misleading. They implied I'd be hearing some fabulous unknown here--but no, this is a charming program sung by a roundly second-rate artist. Mager's voice has an unpleasant raspy quality which is completely unsuited to classical song and perhaps to high notes altogether. There's also the occasional breathiness and pitch instability. If you're used to hearing Susan Graham sing Hahn and Janet Baker sing Faure, be prepared for a disconcerting experience. There's a reason this CD is not on a major label. Mager is somewhat more credible on the popular songs, however, and perhaps she'll concentrate on those in the future. The one 100% enjoyable and polished song on the CD is "Mister Georgina"--we want more like that!
What a Voice!.......2001-09-28
Not knowing French but loving the country's music, I purchased this CD expecting to hear a culture of songs that could be added to my collection. I was not disappointed. Actually, I added a bonus to my collection because of the manner by which these songs were presented. The feeling of "being there" is in every song. From the intro of the sounds of Paris to the dancing in Piccadilly Square (a Frenchman's view of an English music hall femme fatale) ... accomplished by a single voice accompanied by piano.
What a voice! Eileen Mager's voice is whatever she wishes it to be ... early English, classical Italian, festival German, or seductive French. The range of her voice is from a rich deep contralto singing "Blues" by Ferre to an angelic soprano singing "Si Mes Vers Avaient Des Ailes" by Reynaldo Hahn. I was very impressed with her "Mister Giorgina" by Ferre.
Ellen Brown is a sought-after accompanist in all of Phoenix ... this CD displays the reason. She feels the music with the soloist.
I am looking forward to Eileen Mager's other CDs, "Christmas Treasures," "Vivaldi a Due Voce," and "Broadway: Love & Laughter," and I highly recommend to all who love an absolutely beautiful voice in their entertainment room this CD of "Classic French Songs."
What a fabulous CD!.......2001-09-04
I loved this CD. As a matter of fact, my son and I listened to it seven times the first day. Why?
Because it's so interesting, and has such an incredible breadth of repertoire and expression--from the mischievous and boisterous "Paris Canaille" to the sweet, delicate and operatic "Le Bonheur Est Chose Legere"; and from the out-and-out coquettish fun of Satie's "La Diva De 'L'Empire'" to the dreamy joy of Duparc's "L'Invitation Au Voyage" to the anguish of Brel's "Ne Me Quitte Pas." I especially enjoyed hearing, in addition to Joseph Kosma and Jacques Prevert's "Les Feuilles Mortes" ("Autumn Leaves"), another song by the same composer and lyricist that is completely unfamiliar to American listeners, the deeply moving World War II remembrance called "Barbara."
Because it's gorgeous. Eileen Mager's voice has great purity and clarity of tone, effortless delivery. Her French diction is so clean that my five-year-old son can (and does) easily pick up and repeat even the French that goes at rapid-fire speed. She uses a broad palette of vocal colors; and her range extends from the lyric coloratura soprano to the bluesy alto. Ms. Mager and her excellent accompanist, Ellen Brown, work together as one; and Ms. Brown, who is also an arranger and who accompanied her on their earlier CD, "Christmas Treausures," adds a special touch of her own to the songs.
The accompanying CD booklet contains translations of all the songs (done by the singer herself, with the able help and counsel of French poet/librettist/teacher Michel Sarda), so listeners who don't speak French will be able to enjoy the recording as much as those who do.
One parting comment: Many singers dabble in genres other than their home genre, calling it "crossover." Unfortunately, many don't sound right in genres other than their own. But Ms. Mager is so comfortable and "right" in the various genres on this CD that it would be difficult to decide which her "home" genre actually is.
