Album Description

Presenting the original soundtrack from the first season of Sci Fi Channel's critically acclaimed, top-rated television series starring Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff. Composer Bear McCreary's dynamic score ingeniously melds orchestra, vocals and synth into an emotional experience that ranges from full-throttle action to soul-stirring drama. Packed with more than 78 minutes of music, this is a comprehensive collection of the very best musical moments from this amazing sci-fi drama's first season. Features both U.S. and U.K. main title themes and includes exclusive liner notes.

Good companion for Battlestar Fans.......2007-05-07

If you're a Battlestar Galatica Fan, this audio is an excellent companion to your collection. Passacaglia, Forgiven, and The Shape of Things to Come are emotional and addictive orchestral soundtracks. Not every song from the first season is included in this CD. The opening credit songs for the UK and the US versions and the battle songs (The Thousandth Landing, Battle on the Asteroid) are included. Battlestar Muzaktica is quite odd and doesn't fit with the collection of songs.

Captures the feel of the show.......2007-04-11

Has a great selection of songs from the 1st season. I like show/movie CDs that you can picture the scenes and emotion of the actors when you hear the song. The Celtic underlays are great, and the Taiko drumming style is very well used for building intensity in the music. If you really like the series, you should probably really enjoy the music as well!

Awesome Soundtrack.......2007-04-11

If you like the music in a scene that just blends in and makes the scene even more emotional or suspenseful, that is what the scores from season one do on this cd. I initially bought it to for the prologue (cylon music) and the two main titles (U.S. and U.K.) but after listening to the entire cd, I have become completely addicted to it. The titles of the scores usually give you a hint of the scene and the liner notes also tell you the episode that they are from but the soundtrack has definitely made rewatching season one an even more intriguing experience. The scores with words, are written by Bear and are in various languages, but the words, especially the opera piece, are actually so dead one with the scene and in this specific scene hilarious. I love this soundtrack. If you are someone who is addicted to really grasping everything that happens in this show and watch and analyze it beyond face value, this is an added bonus to have in your collection. I highly recommend it!!!

BSG.......2007-04-10

Man I love the Classic and the Present BSG's So Inaturally find the SoundTrack/Score A joy and very relaxing. They tend to sound very similar but they are very diffrent.

Agree with everyone else.......2007-03-28

There have been lots of raving reviews of this album, as well as the equally sensational season 2 soundtrack. I just wanted to add my opinion on one track, "Destiny". An earlier review describes an Arabic string instrument being used, but it is actually a biwa, a traditional Japanese instrument that has such a distinct sound that it's hard to imagine it being used for anything other than traditional gagaku music. I don't know if anyone but McCreary has ever tried to use this instrument for something else, but it hardly matters. The fact that McCreary managed to use it so effectively in a piece that is so different from gagaku music is a perfect testament to his unique genius. I'm really looking forward to following McCreary's career.

Excellent transaction. Would not hesitate to buy again from this seller. Product was delivered promptly and as described.

good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27

We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.

It doesn't happen all the time, but occasionally kitsch burrows itself into the popular consciousness and stays put because it's timelessly, compellingly good. Such is the case with The Very Best of the Partridge Family, which at long last allows pop aficionados who have closeted their dirty-little-secret obsession with the fictitious TV group to come clean. Never mind the ruffles and dove-wing lapels—heartthrob hang-ups aside, David Cassidy can sing (skip "I Think I Love You" and check his soul chops on the raging "Roller Coaster" or his Elvis-like vocal nuances on "Point Me in the Direction of Albuquerque" instead.) And it doesn't hurt that the material he crooned was penned by some of the era's top songwriters. Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill, for example, lent their graceful imagery to "Looking Through the Eyes of Love," and Gerry Goffin was behind "I'll Meet You Halfway." Add to that the band's layered-harmony-nailing background singers and a stash of sensational session players, and it can't be helped: You get happy. -Tammy La Gorce

Journey down memory lane. This is one of the best collections from the Partridge Family I have found. My brother and I are oldies nostalgic nuts and have been looking for a collection that included "Let The Good Times In.

There have been more recent collections done but have not included this title song from the pilot episode.

Enjoy a time of simplier days.

"TOGETHER(HAVIN" A BALL)FINALLY ON CD!!!!!!.......2007-04-09

My first 8-track tape was "the Partidge Family Album". I loved the show as a kid. Then I got their next album...and the next...and the next.But my favorite song was never on it...until now. "Together(havin' a ball)" is finally on CD! Groovy!!!

Clean Clear Sound.......2007-03-30

This is a disc that has some cuts from the show(previously unreleased) and if your a fan of The Patridge Family then this disc is for you. Not only is the sound clear and crisp, its chock full of memories too. If your use to these songs on your old vinyl as they were way back in the 70`s then these remasters will knock your socks off.

Awww... Memories.......2007-03-22

Sometimes you just get a tune in your head and ya gotta hear it. That's what prompted me to buy this CD. These feel good songs do just that, they make you feel good. It's light reading for the soul and I think we all need that every now and again.

There are but two kinds of people in the world: Those captivated by Baz Luhrmann's heady, postmodernist musical romp Moulin Rouge--and everybody else. Oddly, the film's initial soundtrack release may have been the project's most traditional element, marketing a slate of pop-star contributions that gave listeners a sometimes-skewed perspective on its true musical charms. This follow-up corrects much of that oversight, offering original film versions of "Sparkling Diamonds" (the lavish, Nicole Kidman-performed medley of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" and "Material Girl"), Jim Broadbent's and Richard Roxburgh's loopy take on "Like a Virgin," as well as the lively Offenbach "Can Can" parody "The Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular)." It also pays homage to the efforts of composer Craig Armstrong, whose quietly compelling underscore often binds the film's other far-flung musical influences together, be they stately orchestral readings of Elton John's "Your Song," a dramatic arrangement for Kidman and Ewan MacGregor's original film duet of "Come What May," or his dark, melodramatic take on Queen's "The Show Must Go On." The first Moulin Rouge soundtrack collection flaunted the film's bold, cross-genre ambitions; this one chronicles its nakedly emotional heart and soul. --Jerry McCulley

Album Details

Volume Two Includes the Memorable Renditions of 'like a Virgin' and 'your Song' and 'the Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular).' It also features a Mix of the Nicole Kidman Song 'one Day I'll Fly Away.'

Customer Reviews:

Wow........2007-01-15

I must say...I was very glad when they released Part Two of the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. Don't get me wrong...the first part was great and all, but it was nothing spectacular. I was specifically looking for certain songs from the movie, and I was completely disappointed when they were on there. The release of a second soundtrack was, in my opinion, an absolute necessecity.

The highlights of the album are:

-Your Song (Instrumental)
-Sparkling Diamonds (original film version)
-Come What May (original film version)
-The Show Must Go On (original film version)

In my opinion, "The Show Must Go On" is the best song on this album...it was just so perfect for the ending of the movie, and I fell in love with the song. I was so disappointed that it wasn't on the first soundtrack. This song is part of what makes the second soundtrack so amazing...the song is fierce!!

If you love the movie and are a fan of the first soundtrack, then definitely, get this one. Many of the songs are versions taken straight from the movie - I recommend this with 4.5 stars...you will NOT be disappointed!

Love this CD.......2006-07-04

I love everything about this movie. The music is amazing and the instrumental songs on this CD are perfect. The first CD seemed to be more for a bunch of teenyboppers that wanted to hear the worst song on the whole CD (Lady Marmalade). If only they could combine the good songs from the first CD into this one.

I gave this 5 stars even though it's about a 4.5 because they split the soundtrack over two seperate cds.

Could it get any better?.......2006-03-02

So i thought that the first instalment in these soundtracks was great (and it was) but the purchase of this sequel is a must if you want the full effect. With the original film versions of these songs, sung by the stars of the movie, you get the real feel that was the magnifisence of Moulin Rouge! Ewan McGregor is still by far the star, with his talent spilling over the dramatic lovesong 'Come What May' and 'Your Song', but Nicole's brilliant performance as Satine definatly takes front and center in 'One Day I'll Fly Away' and the film version of 'Sparkling Diamonds'...I have noticed that many complain about how the first soundtrack did not include the film version of this song...well you need this CD then...you will not be dissapointed. Other highlights include 'Like a Virgin' which is downright histarical, and the dark cover of 'the show must go on' which highlights the tragidy behind this tightly woven tale. THis is one must have soundtrack for your ever growing collection. A perfect companion to soundtrack number 1!

Moulin rouge tried to fill up the GAP.......2006-02-12

This contains many great tracks missing from the original soundtrack, including Like A Virgin, Spectacular Spectacular and The Show Must Go On. I thought the inclusion of two instrumental versions of Your Song might be a bit redundant, but upon listening to them I really enjoyed them and they are quite different from one another. OK, it's not the best soundtrack that could have been put out. But it's pretty darn close. One thing that many DEDICATED fans of the movie (including myself) said is that the original movie soundtrack lacked the actual original movie score. There are 10+ songs in "Moulin Rouge" and many didn't make the final cut.

Baz did the smart thing, taking the audiences favorite music, a few gems from the first soundtrack such as "Come What May" and "Sparkling Diamonds" as well as a few new songs, like "Like a Virgin", "The Show Must Go On" and "The Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular)" and releasing the Original Film versions, allowing for the amazing vocal performances of the actors, including the fabulous Jim Broadbent, to be shine through. Also, released is background music "Meet Me in the Red Room", played during Christian's arrival in the elephant, marking the only non-actor/orchestral piece within the context of the CD.

One thing that this soundtrack included that I didn't expect was several orchestral pieces that were mostly used as background music throughout the film. "Your Song - Instrumental" (#1) has personally become a favorite and is constantly being repeated in the CD player. Also included is the ending credits music "Bolero" and the final piece ... known as "Ascension/Nature Boy". Also included is a remix of "One Day I'll Fly Away", and like all MR remixes, is a little tough to listen to at first but after repeat listening, it becomes music to your ears.

To all you MR diehards out there: this is a must. Not like I could stop you anyways. To others who haven't been introduced to the spectacular (spectacular) world of Moulin Rouge, this is a great introductory piece, especially side-by-side with the first soundtrack.

ahahahahaha.......2006-02-01

Everything the other customers are saying is true: more music from the film, thankyouverymuch, not irritating pop conceits like the first. However, I would not have reviewed this album unless I found it absolutely necesary to point out that, in the climactic moments of track 5 "Come What May," Ewan MacGregor's voice is for some reason missing and replaced by a bizarre, operatic man's voice. It truly had me crying with laughter the first few times I heard it, and I wanted to share this wondrous discovery with the world.

The come-from-nowhere success of Shania Twain's previous album, The Woman in Me, proved that the world was ready for a combination of traditional instruments, girl-power themes, and dance-pop dynamics. Whether Twain is a modern-day Dolly Parton or a country music Spice Girl is a matter of perspective. But with her third album, she accentuates the sing-along choruses and simple dance rhythms while downplaying the country elements. As a pop move, it works wonderfully for her, earning Twain a valued spot on MTV, VH-1, and pop radio. The emphasis is on fun rather than depth, of course. But no one can accuse her of being stingy: she and her Svengali-like producer/husband, slick-rock king Robert "Mutt" Lange (Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, AC/DC), load down the album with 16 songs, all of them quite radio-friendly. --Michael McCall

Shania's third album, Come On Over, is a country/pop giant. It is loaded with great songs that Shania sings with energy and feeling. There's a reason this sold a bazillion copies - it's awesome. If you don't have it for some dumb reason, or just haven't gotten around to it, correct that mistake soon and get this.

great cd......to be used as a bagel plate.......2007-01-25

Ever notice how all country music girls are attractive? That's because the industry that writes all their songs for them need a pretty face so they can sell their records in higher quantities. If you think these artists write all their own songs then you must be naive enough to believe that Jessica Simpson is popular because of her music talent and not her looks. Why do you think country music lyrics are all the same? 'All my exes were at the family reunion', 'Her teeth were stained but her heart was pure', I mean come on, they're all written by the same industry. Real musicians aren't usually attractive, because they're too busy writing their own music to care.

Cheerful Pop Girl Power........2007-01-13

This is both a good & different album than any other Country based music I've heard. Probably because it really isn't Country? After several listenings, I came to the conclusion that this was 70% Pop, 20% Country, & 10% Disco. I'll leave that debate to those more familiar with those genre's. This was a very lively, even optimistic group of songs. Shania's voice was better with the faster songs. These are the ones I thought were done the best. "When," the only cynical tune on a cheerful album. It is a "yea right," tune that felt like it did not belong. Perhaps, thats why it stuck out? "From This Moment," certainly a smooth love ballad if there ever was one. Shania sang this from the heart, & it came through exquisitely. "Man I Feel Like A Woman," a feel good girl song with drums, electric guitar, & some mild fiddles. "Love Gets Me Everytime," more of a traditional love song with single girl meeting a guy & falling in love, with a fast tempo. "Come On Over," strong Accordion with one friend comforting another. "Your Still The One," probably her biggest hit? A smoothly done slow tempo tune about a couple who proved the naysayers wrong by staying together.

At the very top of her game!.......2006-10-21

Shania Twain is an excellent performer and this album represents in my opinion some of her best work. I think her personality comes across strongly on this album and the songs are great.

I must admit I don't like what Shania Twain's later music evolved into nearly as much as this older stuff. I think in this album she was more driven by her own inner creativity and less by mass marketing concerns.

The ballads here are heartfelt and the faster songs convey an enthusiasm for life and youthful exuberance. While Shania is certainly sexy with a lot of charisma, she is also an incredible performer and worthy of her reputation. I can still remember the first time I heard her on THE WOMAN IN ME. I still love this album as well.

If you are going to own one or two Shania Twain albums and not get any others, I recommend that this is one of the two to buy. If you don't like the earlier country sound, try her newer stuff. However, I think this older material is more representative of where her heart truly lies and for me it comes across lound and clear through the speakers.

Skeptics might say that Carpenter's smash version of Lucinda Williams's "Passionate Kisses" pales beside the tougher original, or that Mary Chapin is but a folkie in poor-fitting country clothes. They're not exactly wrong, but her million-selling third album finds its charm in a spare Americana sound and smart, imaginative material. Carpenter bridges country and folk audiences, much as Emmylou Harris has done, and as few others have managed. And she's a better singer than generally recognized. Originals such as "I Am a Town" and the title cut are genuinely evocative, and "Walking Through Fire" and "I Take My Chances" have an emotional edge that is as raw as it has been rare on country radio in the '90s. --Roy Francis Kasten

Like probably many people, I've been a fan of Chapin since this album was released in 1992... truly it was her breakthrough album. And with good reason, too: not only was it an incredible country-crossover when country music was the "latest rage", but it's also an unbelievably good album.

After so many years of being a fan - I own all of her albums - I finally had the chance to see her in concert at the Warner Theatre in Torrington, CT. The show consisted of her and only three other musicians (including longtime cohorts John Jennings and John Carroll). No drummer accompanied them. She and the band were seated throughout the show as evidence of "how old and creaky" they've become (her words, not mine). They simply played, and the music was soulful, deep and magical.

It inspired me to finally praise "Come On Come On", which is still to this day my favorite album of hers. Yes, she's done other amazing work both before (the wistful folk and bubbly country of "State of the Heart", 1989) and after (the insightful and post-9/11-weary "Between Here and Gone, 2004)... but I still like this album best. Simply put, there isn't a bad song on it. I can't imagine anyone not being riled up by the entirely-justified feminist rant of "He Thinks He'll Keep Her", or not be moved by the sad, sullen beauty of "I Am a Town".

Simply put: If I was allowed on 10 CDs to accompany me to a desert island, this would be one of them. If you don't own it, you should... it's a classic.

Absolute Top-Tier Album.......2006-12-09

I never tire of this album.

People have called MCC a folk artist. I guess that is true in the purest sense of the word. MCC writes songs and the people sing them.

Lonely technicians whistle along with "I Feel Lucky" at production facilities in the middle of the night.

A six year old girl is spontaneously singing "Passionate Kisses" right now, a capella, while playing with her dolls. She does not even realize she is singing, but the notes are sung perfectly in full voice.

"Passionate Kisses" still plays on the radio anywhere that Country Music matters. Country Music programmers in Southern cities and towns retain a few archetypal standards that are not subject to the whims of time, and it is one.

Somewhere, a man or woman is finding solace in "The Hard Way."

Somewhere, someone is making a lifelong vow. And this album is playing in the background while that vow is made... probably "Not Too Much To Ask" or "I Take My Chances." The vow will be kept.

"He Thinks He'll Keep Her" is based on the young MCC's indignance about a paternalistic Geritol ad back in the 70s. That's pretty damn special. She wrote it herself and it absolutely rocks. I'm not always enthusiastic about feminist angst but that's cool.

Buy two copies and tell your neighbors. Mary Chapin Carpenter is a giant.

MCC & Country music stars cannot reproduce music like this........2006-11-18

Yes, I bought the CD a long time ago (10 years).

But, I was shuffling thru. my songs in the ipod, I relaized what an amazing CD this was. I will say that I was just starting to listen to country at that time. And that "Come on Come on" is one of the earliest intros. to country. Now, I can say that I have heard plenty of of new country, and not many artist matched the quality of selected songs in terms of music, vocals, writing. This CD has proven to be a good benchmark. IMO if you can pick a CD that you have listened to a while ago, and are still able to listen to, then that is great CD.

My favorite songs on CD:

Not too much to ask - Duet with Joe Diffie.
Passoinate Kisses, He thinks he'll keep her, I feel lucky, The bug, The hard way.

5 Stars Plus CD.......2006-08-26

This is one of my favorite Mary Chapin Carpenter CDs. It deserves to be 5 Stars Plus. He Thinks He'll Keep Her is about a woman and a man being married through the years and one day their love for each other is gone. I Feel Lucky is a song about Her winning the lottery and she tells how she feels lucky about it. My favorite line in the song is hey Dwight hey Lyle boys you don't have to fight doggone I feel lucky tonight. The Bug is about the way life is. You never know if you are the bug or the windshield. My favorite song on this CD is Passionate Kisses. She wants everything a woman should have and passionate kisses also. Not Too Much Too Ask is a wonderful duet with Joe Diffie. I Take My Chances and The Hard Way are also good songs on this CD. She had 7 singles on this CD. The whole CD is very good and if you are a MCC fan then this should be in your collection.

enjoy the music.......2006-03-22

I am glad to bought this CD. It is one of my favorites and glad I have found it.

Monsoon Wedding is Mychael Danna's second collaboration with film director Mira Nair, (Kama Sutra was the first), and he has again compiled a winning soundtrack. Danna explores a wide range of emotions, from solemn to celebratory, through different generations of Indian culture. The contemplative "Good Indian Girls" and "Hold Me, I'm Falling" feature Danna's trademark piano ambience over traditional Indian instrumentation, and the vivacious "Baraat" sounds like a Punjabi variation on Dixieland, while "Delhi.com" ventures into dreamy ethno-techno territory. Sukhwinder Singh's "Today My Heart Desires" serves up lively bhangra rock, and Laxmikant Pyarelal's "Today the Weather Plays Tricks on Me" (performed by Mohammed Rafi) swoons with strings and male vocals. In all, the soundtrack's pleasing variety of Eastern music mirrors the film's old and new worlds living within a singular culture. --Bryan Reesman

Monsoon Wedding Soundtrack is Terrific.......2007-05-18

I really enjoyed the movie and was pleased to find the soundtrack. Great cd if you're a fan of Bollywood!

Loved it!.......2007-03-24

I just saw the movie MONSOON WEDDING and I absolutely loved it! Of course, I just HAD to have the soundtrack, so I bought the Cd recently and loved it too! WOW!

The Cd will leave you in a happy mood... Wonderful up-beat songs, many are so danceable and hipnotic. I've been playing this Cd all week ...I just wish it were longer because I would love to have more Cds like this in my Cd collection.

Just as fabulous as the movie!.......2007-01-31

This is an excellent soundtrack from an excellent movie. The music is fantastic - makes you want get up and move your feet! It's got such a happy, wistful, exotic flavor throughout the CD. I think this will probably be one that I wear out from listening to it so much!

Love It, Love It, Love It.......2007-01-21

I just love this CD. I'm preferential to the work of Mychael Danna and this is another awesome work of his. There is everything from old Indian love ballads to the popular Bollywood music of today, with some very beautiful instrumentals in between.

I'd recommend seeing the movie too. As well, I'd check out Danna's music for another Mira Nair movie, "Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love."

Culture-Happy-Dance-Reflect-Appreciate-Savor-Relax-Laugh.......2006-11-06

Above I listed some words that first came to mind when I thought about this cd.
It is very Culture rich and soaked in Indian flavor. It's colorful and makes you happy with a laugh or two; as it seeks to portray the traditional music typical of a Punjabi wedding in Delhi, India.
You want to dance with most songs and sit quietly to reflect with others. I listed appreciate because we often don't sit back to appreciate the richness that other cultures provide. My 2 year old appreciates this music in her broken wanna be Hindi mimic.
She dances as does my 6 year old to this music. It's really a great CD but I would recommend seeing the movie first.

Now, here's what you call a break from tradition. After bridging the gap between punk and blues on his collaboration with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, A Ass Pocket of Whiskey, Mississippi bluesman R.L. Burnside ventures into the world of beats and grooves with Come On In, a series of remix projects with producer Tom Rothrock (Beck, Foo Fighters). The cynics among you may smell opportunism, but Rothrock is sensitive and respectful enough to Burnside's originals to do them proper justice. Even the 4/4 high hat and filtered sound effects of "Rollin' Tumblin'" sound appropriate to the music at hand. Though these treatments--largely instrumental--erase the most of the presence of Burnside's searing vocals, Burnside and Rothrock's adventurousness will win over most to their progressive-thinkin' boogie chillun'. --Justin Hampton

Who Has Been Hiding RL Burnside?.......2007-02-26

Thank you Sirius Radeo and Amazon for bringing us RL Burside. Too bad the local "music (??)" Channels and stores still haven't got a clue in what great music really is.
Its easy to see why "It's Bad You Know" is the most requested song on Sirius Blues.

An acquired taste, but try it.......2006-03-14

This album is kind of like wasabi: it takes some getting used to but if you do, you have a friend for life. You're in for a big surprise if you're expecting traditional blues from this old bluesman. This is techno remix blues, which obviously won't please some, but he pulls it off. Best-known and probably the best tune is "It's Bad You Know", played on WXRT in Chicago, who turned me on to the album. Most of the cuts are musical loops, not all of which work, but overall pretty solid and recommended for anyone wanting something different. Die-hard blues purists need not apply.

Shuck Dub?.......2006-01-07

Dear Mr. Yates: Are you one of those turtle-neck wearing folks with plenty of money and a nose in the air? Are you one of those that believe that the Blues must adhere to some unforgiving rules that you made up? Get off yo' high horse and put down that pipe! The Blues have always been a "blasphemy", a walk downtown, a soulful melody, a harsh reality.... etc... The Blues NEVER did adhere to any rules of musical education. The Blues is the Blues because of a feeling, an attitude. This album has all of that attitude, irreverent as it is. Take off that turtle-neck sweater and listen to these grooves. Blues grooves. The only other artist to take the Blues to this level this decade has been G. Love. No, it's not your daddy's Blues.... but it is Blues.... fun Blues.... New Orleans Blues... Blues the way it was supposed to be: Fun, Exciting, Soulful and NOT standard! Blues with a capital "B".

Only in it for money?.......2005-10-21

I'm laughing my fricken a** off. I read the review by Mr. "Thomas W. Yates" who states below "shame on fat possum....they used to be about documenting a pure, dying art form. now fat possum is all about "updating" the blues to "increase the audience"...fat possum only cares about the $$."

Give me a break! Don't you think Mr. Burnside deserves to make some money for his talent? Don't you think Fat Possom deserves to make some good money too? I sure as heck do. Sounds like your one of those people who wants to "Keep the Man Down". Keep him poor and humble is that it? Give me a break....

Don't you think this may make some younger people find an interest in "The Blues"?

Personally I think its pretty selfish when I see other reviews like that. I think its great that the blues is branching out and reaching out to a larger audience and in the process becoming more mainstream. I think its great that these artists who have been making pennies all their lives are finally making some real money for all their work and talent.

Heck 20 years ago I was wondering if the blues was going to die out but people like Mr. Burnside, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton and others have created a renewed interest in "The Blues".

--Keep It Up!

true alchemy.......2005-10-17

To appreciate this incredible album one must understand that Mr. Burnside was raised in the country and matured in the city; which rationalizes the true alchemy of this electrifying rural/uban mix. The amazing power and energy of this album will stand as R.L.'s burning memorial. So-called blues purists may take issue, but blues music is not "pure" - it is the soul expression of the performer's life experiences... good, bad, pleasurable or painful and everything in between - like this album.

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Hustlin', Flowin', and Chedda Showin'................2007-07-15

Bone Thugs is one of my favorite groups! "The Intro" is sort of a Freddy Krueger type of opening, very suspenseful, very Eazy E-esque, but with a Bone Thugs flava! "Mr Ouija" can be about knowing if "we" will live or die and how the demise with happen, this song is very prophetic, in the fact that in spite of what they do, they speculate what the consequences will be. "Thuggish, Ruggish, Bone", is a campy tune. The melody is hot and the song is definitely a classic for BT&H, mainly this is about just chillin, makin' money, hustlin', and pimpin'. I would classify this a a street blues jam, very well done!
"No Surrender" has a 'Zapp & Roger' feel mixed with 3rd Bass, LOL! This reminds me alot of a survival type track. I mean running and surviving on the streets. Especially getting revenge on those who mess with your crew! "Down Foe My Thang" can be said to be a 'self' track! I mean, on the streets, you gotta do what you gotta do. If hustlin' and drugs are your thing, then you gotta do what it takes to get the job done. Look behind the words on this track, I feel that it is saying to accomplish your dreams, any way you can. "Creepin On Ah Come Up" is the smooth title track. It reminds me of 'Welcome To Eazy's Playhouse' by Eazy E. (RIP). This is sort of a real gangsta track, reminiscing about thuggin', robbin', and thievin'.
"For Tha Love Of $" is all about making' dat chedda! No matter how you have to do it. Money is something one has to have and the thugs gotta keep rollin', making their ends. Eazy E shines phat on this track. "Moe Cheese" is just a continuation of 'For Tha Love Of $'. Overall, I would say that this Cd is for the pimps and hustlas, just trying to make it in the world, by any means necessary....

Short But Strong Introduction For Bone Thugs.......2007-06-02

This EP was recorded during the Golden Age of West Coast Rap and was created under the guidance of Gangsta Rap pioneer Eazy-E. This rap group come from Cleveland, Cleveland had never really had a hip-hop scene and this release helped create a sound for the Midwest. DJ U-Neek's productions are in the G-Funk style that was popular at the time, they are smooth and easy to listen to. Rapping is handled by Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Wish Bone, Bizzy Bone and Flesh-N-Bone, they use a melodic, fast-flowing style that was something new to the hip-hop music genre.

The EP only really has 5 songs on it (not including the intro, 'Mr. Ouija' and 'Moe Cheese' which is the instrumental to 'Foe Tha Love Of $') which is the reason why I couldn't give it 5 stars. Their second album is overall stronger than this EP and is the group's highpoint of their career, I strongly recommend both of these CDs because they mark a changing point in hip-hop music.

sounds great on cd!!!.......2007-03-19

this is a classic!! i had this on cassette when it first came out, and this album still doesn't disappoint. to have this kind of talent and to still put out albums whether solo or group efforts...is awesome!! you looking for classic hip hop, especially music that changed hip hop...bone thugs is all that!!

The offical amazon hip hop reviewer.......2007-02-21

Hello everyone, Thank you for looking into bone thugz
" creepin' on ah come up "

This is one of my most loved albums in my collection and even though i am i huge fan of mostly west coast compton music this album has a unque style to it which is/has never been heard before or since

This is bone thugz second album even though alot of people do think it is there first, this is due to them changing there name when coming on to "ruthless records" B.O.N.E was the original name of this group.

This is a short album but please dont let this put you off buying it, it has well put together lyrics which need plentty of attention to pick up and maybe even needing to look up the lyrics.

This is by far there best album in my eyes

crazy lyrics with an exremely fast tempo. eazy e also come in with lyrics on the song " for the love $ "

The album was produced by eazy e and yella so expect only the best dark yet catch beats placed under so great lyrics and is one of my " must haves " to any hip-hop fan.

Much love

price.......2007-01-16

at best buy you can get this for 9 bucks but this album is awsome so go get it.
