John Lennon would have turned 67 in 2007. If alive, he could well be at the forefront of bringing peace to Darfur, where more than half a million have died from violence and disease during four years of rebel discord. So to create awareness of the ongoing conflict, Amnesty International (with permission from Yoko Ono) has mined Lennon's solo work and rounded up nearly two dozen current artists to reinterpret the music, which spans the ex-Beatle's entire post-band catalog (plus a pair from while the Fab Four were still in business). As with any attempt to cover Beatles-related music, results are hit and miss, with kudos going to Snow Patrol and the Postal Service for capturing the starkness of "Isolation" and "Grow Old with Me," respectively, Mexican rock band Jaguares for uncovering the fear and fury in "Gimme Some Truth," and (surprise!) Christina Aguilera for nailing the complex composition and mood of "Mother." Other highlights include Jackson Browne's piano-led "Oh My Love," Green Day's louder straight take on "Working Class Hero," and the Black Eyed Peas turning "Power to the People" into a gospelly protest. Will resurrecting 30-to-40-year-old messages of peace and love be enough to help end the brutalities in Darfur? That remains to be seen. But selecting John Lennon as the author of those messages will make people listen and, with this collection, may keep them listening. --Scott Holter

Album Description

Featuring songs by the iconic John Lennon newly recorded by some of today's biggest as well as emerging artists, Instant Karma: The Campaign to Save Darfur is a major benefit-album project. In an effort to mobilize activism around this catastrophe, musicians unite to save lives. Some of the biggest artists in the world, along with today's emerging artists, all coming together for an unprecedented, brilliant collection of JOHN LENNON "covers." Proceeds from the campaign will go directly to support Amnesty International's urgent work on Darfur and other human rights crises worldwide.

Disappointing.......2007-08-06

I bought this CD after having heard the Jack Johnson version of "Imagine," which I loved. Unfortunately, it turns out that that is the only song on the CD that I will ever actually listen to. (Why would they even put Avril Lavigne on there?)

What it really comes down to for me, though, is that I would rather listen to John Lennon's own versions of his music any day.

Supreme.......2007-08-04

This is a very nice collaction of one of the best song writers of all time

Amazing.......2007-08-04

This CD is for such a good cause, plus the artists who re-compose John Lennon's songs do a fantastic job on it.

Best tribute CD EVER.......2007-08-03

Each track is perfect for each group. No-one was out of their element. Green Day's version of Working Class Hero haunted me as much as the original. I enjoyed every track....And I am a John Lennon fan...and found the music truly a tibute to his genius.

Beautiful Boy.......2007-07-30

Fantastic cause brings together fine performers who bring to life the intensity and focus of one of our greatest singer/songwriters ever. His insight into the world is amazing. The only negative thing one can say about this album is that it reminds us of the fact that no one can sing his songs the way he did. He was a treasure who a younger generation should be exposed to more often.

Spare, unearthly recreations of medieval tunes and lyrics.......2006-10-01

The Mediaeval Baebes, a group of twelve female vocalists led by Katherine Blake, croon and sigh their way through a variety of Latin, Middle English and medieval French songs in a manner all their own. Usually in unison, and often unaccompanied, the straightforward sound of their voices is simple yet striking. All of the music of "Salva Nos" has a fairy tale quality about it, whether that be in the form of innocent lilts graced by dulcimer and recorders, or primal chants belted out heartily to the deep beat of hand drums. Another world, another time, another aesthetic--this is music that calms and transports you. It may not be entirely authentic in its presentation, but its spirit shines through. "Salva Nos" is by far the most laid back of the Mediaeval Baebes' releases--they keep getting livelier after this one, with more drums, more attitude, and eventually some electronica. But this is where it all started. The Baebes' roster for this recording is: Nicole Frobusch, Carmen Schneider, Katharine Blake, Nichole Sleet, Karen Lupton, Teresa Casella, Marie Findley, Audrey Evans, Clare Ravel, Ruth Galloway, Rachel Van Asch and Cylindra Sapphire, with instrumentalist Dorothy Carter on hurdy gurdy and dulcimer. The next of the Mediaeval Baebes' albums is "Worldes Bliss." Try also the work of the German neo-Medieval group Estampie and the duo Dead Can Dance. And if you'd like to hear early English music performed by authentic period ensembles, here are some suggestions: "Miri It Is" by The Dufay Collective, "English Songs of the Middle Ages" by Sequentia, "An English Ladymass," "On Yoolis Night," "Legends of Nicholas," and "Wolcum Yule" by Anonymous 4, and "A Waverly Consort Christmas."

Stop bad-mouthing the Baebes!!!!.......2001-03-05

While I do agree that Mediaeval Baebes' Salva Nos is not myfavorite of their trio of Album I still have to say that it is a .. good CD and well worth the price! These girls have guts that not very many other artists I know have. They are not afraid to try new things as anyone with ears can hear if they listen to all three albums. They are, simply put, talented.

An acquired taste.......2000-06-28

I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this as their first Mediaeval Baebes CD. It's nowhere near as accessible as, say, Undrentide. The majority of tracks are religious (Christian, that is) in content, from Christmas carols ("Coventry Carol" or an ethereal version of "Veni, Veni" - better known as "Oh come, oh come, Immanuel") to funeral dirges ("This Ay Nicht", also known as the "Lyke Wake Dirge") and frankly the album doesn't display the range or sheer pagan fun of their later offerings. I wouldn't describe "Salva Nos" as "risible" but certainly would suggest listening to some of the Baebes' later recordings rather than Salva Nos before making a decision on whether to buy any more of their material. Some of the tracks on this album are definitely an acquired taste. Once you've acquired the taste, you'll want to hear them again, though!

0 Stars really , but they wouldn't let me. Save your money........2000-04-13

The Mediaeval Babes is the confection of some bright spark who thought that the girlie-group formula could be joined with the music of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries to... well, to make a lot of money. I suspect that they failed: they certainly deserved to.

The Babes themselves are a washed-out bunch of hopeless wanabees. Some can sing a little, none does anything well. Their music is a crude blend, tasteless, talentless pastiches of mediaeval standards alternating with phoney pretend stuff.

I can't go on - The Mediaeval Babes and their CDs are truly awful. At 33c it's a rip-off, and the quoted $33.99 is criminal. Go away and get the real thing - The Spice Girls or Hildegard of Bingen, not a cheap and risible imitation of both.

The Best of Cock Robin

After Here Through Midland

Simply the Best

ASIN: B000FTWHTS
Release Date: 2006-06-20

Album Description

2006 album from American pop group Cock Robin, their first new studio album in over 16 years. The two original members, Anna Lacazio and Peter Kingsbery have reformed and composed 13 new and unreleased tracks, the first single being ''I Don't Want To Save The World''. Formerly signed by Columbia in 1985, Cock Robin was revealed to the public thanks to two hits - ''When Your Heart Is Weak'' & ''The Promise You Made''. After their break-up, Kingsbery has recorded solo material, but nothing has been as successful as his time in this band alongside Anna.

Customer Reviews:

Don't be the biggest fool.......2007-04-03

Cock Robin's debut album was raw and edgy. "After Here Through Midland" was smooth and polished. "First Love, Last Rites" was powerful and bitter. "I Don't Want to Save the World" is dull, listless and boring. Kingsbery's conscience must be troubled, for these songs are off in the wrong direction. With the exception of the title track and Bo, he subjects us to a string of love songs endlessly disecting his fifty-plus year old love life. No good bass lines and really bad poetry. None of the new tracks would have made the cut in the past.

If you want a good, late career album, try Dan Fogelberg's Full Circle or Level 42's Retroglide. They are still true to the music.

There is a god!!!.......2007-03-03

I always thought that I was the sole fan left of CR. I could not get through a day of high school without listening to their debut album (yeah, I am pushing 40 now). I recall sneaking out of the house late at night so that I could drive to LA and see them. Those were the days! I love Peter's solo stuff, but it just never seemed to have the finesse of the CR stuff. This album is going to be my highlight of 2007!

A Masterpiece! They even have Cock Robin videos on iTunes!.......2007-02-03

Wow it seems like the 80's all over again! Firstly a few nights ago I was browsing iTunes looking for a few new videos to put on my ipod video and noticed Cock Robin's name. Okay so I thought..AMAZING I can finally own the video for "When Your Heart is Weak", then to my amazement there were 6 different songs that they had made videos for! I of course downloaded them all!! Then this spurred me to do some research about what Peter had been up to lately and I discover at his myspace that there was a NEW Cock Robin cd out!!!! I immediately purchased it from Amazon and have not stopped playing it since! It is catchy, contemporary but also maintains that retro Cock Robin sound that Peter and Ana are so well known for. I can only PRAY that they one day play a club in New York City, it's been a dream of mine since 1986 to hear their songs onstage!

Happy Days Are Here Again!!!.......2007-01-28

I absolutely LOVE this album!!! I was a HUGE Cock Robin fan in the 80's--and followed Peter Kingsbery's career after the band broke up. (I tried to follow Anna LaCozio's, but she kind of dropped out of sight.) Quite by accident, I stumpled across this album on the internet, and first down loaded it from I Tunes, but of course I had to get the CD as well. Peter Kingsbery and Aimee Mann were the best singer-songwriters and led the best bands in the 80's. Unfortuntely, Kingsbery never seemed to get the marketing push his talent deserves. All that is a long way of saying I NEVER thought I would hear Peter Kingsbery and Anna Lacozio singing together again. What a pleasant surprise this album was! Like the older Cock Robin albums and Kingsbery's solo work, this album is loaded with catchy hooks, inventive arrangements and production, stellar musicianship, and spectacular vocals. Like Buckingham and Nicks, Kingsbery and LaCozio are MEANT to sing together! Their voice blend so well--and when they really let loose, like they do at the end of "Superhuman," the only thing left to do is light a cigarette!!! We had to wait 17 years for this record, but it was worth the wait!!! If you love catchy, inventive pop music, you'll love this!!!

Words can't describe how GREAT this album is!!.......2006-12-18

I have been a HUGE Cock Robin fan ever since 1985. When I heard that they were getting back together and recording a new disc, it was a dream come true for me. Better yet, I had the chance to see them perform and meet them at a show in California in May of 2006! If you are fan of real heartfelt lyrics, fantastic voices and expert musicianship and arrangments, then this disc is for you. I wish I could rate this higher than 5 stars. This disc, or any Cock Robin or Peter Kingsbery disc for that matter, I could listen to over and over and over again and still be inspired with each listen!!

Salva Nos.......2003-08-17

I was just at my favorite record store when I came across "Salvo Nos" in the used bins today. Being a big Mediaeval Baebes fan, I had to buy it. Besides it was the only cd by the group that I found in the bins that I didn't have. As always, I was not disappointed with "Salva Nos". I have yet to be disappointed with a MB cd. I noticed on "Salva Nos" that the minimal use of instruments. Very little percussion was used but otherwise the primary focus was on the women's beautiful voices.Judging by the lyrics on this album, the songs pretty much celebrates the birth of Christ. After a few seconds into the song "Veni Veni", I realized that this was the same Christmas carol I am used to singing otherwise known as "Emmanuel". There was not one song on "Salvo Nos" that I didn't like but then again I have yet to hear one song by the Mediaevel Baebes that I didn't like. I look forward to hearing more from this lovely group of women.

A lot of fun to listen to, worth having.......2002-12-19

My first Mediaeval Baebes album was Undrentide, it had a lot of good stuff in it but mixed in some synthesizer sounds, this one is much better. Salva Nos is the Baebes first work and it is a very good album with no modern sounding instrumentation in it at all. Of the 16 tracks only 7 have ANY musical accompaniment, in many of those it is subtly done.
I can't say which is my favorite tune but everything has a medieval sound and feel to it, I love the way they got such a good harmony and sound going just with their voices. Singing in 13th to 15th century English or Latin, mostly (lyrics provided in both the original and modern tongue), these women clearly don't need musical instruments.
Buy this album for the good music, enjoy it for the lack of intrusive modern sounds.

Enjoy listening to these Baebes, but don't cross 'em.......2001-11-28

Sweetly blending voices.
Mix of haunting, sprightly, wickedly funny, old favorites (Gaudete, Veni veni, Coventry Carol) and unfamiliar delights (Adam Lay Ibounden, Now Springs the Spray).

Settings more traditional than Steeleye Span, richer texture than Christmas in Anglia.

Enjoy listening to these Baebes, but don't cross 'em,
This Ay Nicht sounds like a curse with real sticking power.

medievil magic.......2001-05-06

Highly enjoyable! when you finish work, come home a little bit 'wired', nothing compares to sitting back with a beer or a port, turn down the lights and playing this album. It's mellow and magical melodies are extremely relaxing and highly enjoyable.

Rapid-fire and snooty punk at its best.......2004-08-16

It all started when a friend of mine asked me to download "Just Rock and Roll". Back then I had a terrible dial-up connection, so the song had to be damned worth the twenty minutes I would take in downloading it. I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't amazed either. It sounded like another punk-rock song from another bunch of angry snooty kids.

And then, on June 2nd, 2002, I went to the Düsseldorf performance of the Deconstruction Tour, where bands like Lagwagon, Lostprophets and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones rocked a crowd of a thousand screaming Germans. Midtown was the third performer after Flogging Molly and the Turbo AC's (for the full concert review, click here). This concert motivated me into buying Save the World, Lose the Girl, the band's major-label debut.

With a sound comparable to New Found Glory, these guys foment power through their punk-driven speed, but stay close to the themes and issues beneath. But more importantly, however, is the way in which the songs are crafted. In many of the songs, the band steers away from the verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus structure that seems to plague the punk-rock scene. Instead, the variation of rhythms provides for very original material. Songs like "Direction" and "Such a Person" are almost a progressive representation of a punk song, with the song changing direction at every turn.

Similar to Guster and Nine Days, Midtown does not limit itself to one vocalist. Singer/bassist Gabe Saporta has that focused and unbreakable voice that screams high-school jock while the band's singer/guitarist has the sensitive voice for softer pieces like "No Place Feels Like Home" (which is more of a pop song than a punk song). Honestly, I'm not even sure that they are different people. For all I know, it's just Saporta changing his intonation, which honestly, would be even more impressive.

But yes, Midtown equals punk rock plus talented musicians. There's no doubting this. They're definitely up there amongst my favorite bands in the genre. So if bands like Saves the Day and New Found Glory pull your strings, then picking this album up is a definite affirmative.

Recommendations: "Just Rock and Roll", "Direction", "No Place Feels Like Home", "Such a Person", "Knew it All Along"

Don't Touch the Leather.......2004-04-26

It's unfortunate that my review can only be written in words and you can't see the David Lee Roth-esq jump kicks that I'm busting out like I do every time I think about, never mind listen to, this album. As much as I love Living Well is the Best Revenge (which is the best album in the world), it's always nice to go back to a great band's beginnings and listen to where they've come from. I compare the experience to throwing in Led Zepplin's first album. Raw unabashed musical genius - unforgettable the way's great bands' first albums should be.

Midtown, They raise the notch on punk bands!.......2003-11-13

Midtown is overall a great band and this cd exhibits those qualities that raise the standards of what a punk band should be.

The vocals are some of the most harmonized and soothing, yet edgy and "in your face." I'm not trying to tell you that the vocals can't satisfy punk band standards because that is far from the truth. They can dig out the screams and yells or whatever you want.

The guitar parts are simple yet simple in their complexity. These rythms are very catchy and the band stays together almost exactly

I give this band 5 Stars and the cd 5 stars.

Better than the followup.......2003-08-24

STWLTG is, by no stretch an essential album. It is however, a quality album. There are several classic moments (the guitar break in "Come On" is exhibit "A" for anyone wishing to argue that pop punk isn't a bastard genre), but there are many more instances of leaning on stock rhymes and predictable hooks. There is, however, a great energy in this disc. Not like At The Drive In had, but something that comes from whatever whiny,sincere suburban Tao propels this group. However, be warned emo fans, the emotion on this disc is under a fairly heavy coat of radio gloss (particularly for a first album on an indie label). The vocals could be mistaken for almost any other band on Drive-Thru. And the instrumentals sound like you've heard them on a half-dozen other discs, with the exception of a few amazing breaks.
In the end, this is great choice for those of you who love catchy punk with vocals that sound like a massively snottier Jermey Engik (from SDRE). For the rest of you get "Something to Write Home About" first. The songwriting is better and the energy is more raw. As far as "Living Well..." skip it unless you really connect with it in some way or are trying to impress someone recovering from their nu-metal phase.

this album is so sweet, i would simply recomend it so you could hear the balls to the wall hidden track at the end.

This is one of the first albums that got me turned on to them. Tony Mcphee is an awsome guitarist and an even better song writer. His version of Amazing Grace, Still gives me chills.Lots of guitar effects and I think this is the best line up of the band members. Great power trio.

Stunning!.......2005-03-21

Wow! I can't believe that nobody has reviewed this album yet. Here goes,
Enzo Avitabile is from south-italy (from Naples to be precise) and is a known figure in world music, more for jazz fusion. In the past he also contributed with James Brown and Tina Turner.
This time he is going deep into his roots, "Bottari", its traditional rhythm from south Italy that is now limited to few places only. It involves the (wine) barrels, wooden drums, etc.
Taking the Bottari culture, Enzo experimented with Jazz (sax, trumpets, etc) and created an amazing piece of music. Highly Energetic.
This CD truly defines the sound of world music and cross culture experiments. I saw them live in Dublin, St Patrick's Festival, and am truly stunned by the performance.
Its a must for the fan of world music fans, get it, you won't be disappointed.

The poor audio quality of the recorded anthems makes this CD unusable for public events and personal listening. The highs are are not clean and the mids and lows are missing. Each anthem is performed so much like the next one that the unique flavors of each does not come through.

Not only the composer for Romania's anthem is wrong, but so is the tune!!! The CD was released in 1994, but the anthem at that moment was already changed (in 1990).

Cannot believe I'm even reviewing this CD,but I do like other patrons seeing what I have to say about music releases. This is by far very different than any other disc I've ever covered.What you get here are twenty-seven national anthems of countries like the UK, Western Germany, USA, Japan, Finland, Turkey,etc. This is not my cup of tea at all. Not even close. The only people I've ever known to enjoy this sort of music are Civil War buffs,history fanatics and citizens over 80 years old.

Waltzing Matilda certainly isn't the national anthem of australia, but speaking as an australian it is a much better, much more australian song than advance australia fair and SHOULD be the national anthem. Granted, it's an inexcuseable mistake but personally it makes the purchase a better one

Some excellent tracks........2000-08-12

With twenty-nine national anthems and John Williams' "Olympic Theme", this album offers a reasonable variety of anthems. (Curiously, there is nothing from the USSR/CIS/Russia!) The recording quality is excellent. The interpretation of the anthems seems to attempt to give an 'appropriate' national flavour to each one. This does not always seem to work. For example, China's "Ch'i Lai!" sounds more like incidental music than a national anthem. There is an interesting rendition of France's "La Marseillaise". While it lacks the 'big' sound usually associated with this anthem, it is distinctive - and is probably a quite good representation of how it might have sounded back in 1792. If, however, you prefer the 'big' sound this version will be a disappointment. Argentina's "Sean eternos los laurales", Canada's "O! Canada" and John Williams' "Olympic Theme" are excellent, but Belgium's "La Brabanconne/Het Belgisch Volkslied" is disappointing and dirge-like. The anthems are performed by a chamber orchestra and consequently have neither the 'big' sound of a full orchestra, nor the martial sound of a military band. The album takes a distinctive approach to the anthems. Whether this approach works is ultimately a matter of personal taste. If you enjoy the more intimate sound of a chamber orchestra, this album will probably be to your taste.

EXTRAORDINARY - Duran Duran goes Victorian.......2004-07-28

If you enjoy classical music and can appreciate the modern turns being given to the format (by groups such as BOND), you will LOVE this Duran tribute.

I loved the song selection - a few deep cuts chosen won't be readily recognizable by the average fan, but true Duranies will get a kick out of choices like "Meet El Presidente".

Since alot of Duran's music was written with horns or strings included, it wasn't that much of a leap to imagine the entire song done by a string ensemble, such as "Ordinary World."

This is such an interesting and well-done cd. It is wonderful to listen to and you'll probably find yourself singing along to the more popular tunes, like "Rio."

Loved the concept, loved the song selection, loved the cd!

Thorougly nonplussed.......2004-07-22

This string tribute to Duran Duran is rather lackluster. It's not that the musicians aren't talented; it's just that Duran Duran's music - or at least most of the songs chosen for this release - doesn't translate well to the string-quartet format. A collection featuring all Duran ballads (Midnight Sun, Michael, Pop Trash Movie, Land, Winter Marches On, Matter of Feeling, etc.) would have worked better. If you're one of those fans who feels the need to own every release related to Duran Duran, it's not a terrible purchase to make, but for the casual fan, it's not worth it.
