Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
War peppers their music with Latin rhythms and instrumentations, mixing in elements of funk with oldies rock & roll to create a nonstop summer-block-party sound. Hits like "The Cisco Kid" and "Why Can't We Be Friends?" are characterized by the band's lower-register vocals and beg for a singalong. "Spill the Wine, " a hit during Eric Burden's tenure with War, lacks the freer, good-time feel of the later material, but "Low Rider, " a bottom-heavy salsa driven by a raunchy harmonica, remains one of the band's most popular songs. The Best of War ... and More goes beyond retro appeal, displaying a timeless quality. --Steve Gdula

4 out of 5 stars Once upon a time..........2006-09-03

During the early seventies, WAR irrupted with vigorous freshness in the musical sand, to fill a demanded space, a required balance between the jazz, the Latin favor best known as fusion. You may argue the true pioneers in this field were Carl Tjader an Tito Puente in the sixties and fifties respectively and eve before with Poncho Sanchez in the late forties.

But even so, the most relevant aspect to remark is this music contained in its inner structure the seminal roots of the reggae and this public was immediately engaged with this rhythmical melodies conquering of this way the applause of a neglected audience. If not so, the names of Jimmy Cliff, Bobby Bloom and his Montego
Bay, Shango, Mungo Jerry and the legend of Bob Marley would have been ignored or underrated. In this sense Spill the wine (watch the flute solo as musical curtain and essential support) may be considered the jewel of the crown and likewise the funny theme Cisco Kid

So this album constitutes y itself a decisive breakthrough as well as a vigorous ipulse to the new tendencies that would become inspiration' s source to many ensembles and great audiences all around the world.

4 out of 5 stars excellent cd.......2006-02-26

I found this cd to cover the songs of War that I wanted. It is worth buying.

4 out of 5 stars I Declare "WAR" On This Disc!!.......2006-02-07

Hey Rhino, if you're gonna do War, DO WAR!(The un-edited version of "City/Country/City," "Deliver The Word," "The World Is A Ghetto," "Southern Part Of Texas")

This band built it's rep on long,loose free jams, so any War "Hits" compilation should mirror that.

4 out of 5 stars The Best of War and More.......2005-09-06

Love that Latin group from Long Beach! All Day Music is my favorite song on this wonderful CD. That cut is so relaxing. Low Rider and Summer were big hits from my high school senior year. I like having this CD in my library for a reminder of my happy high school years. Hey, Spill the Wine, which is cut 9, has to be one of the most unusual songs in pop music history. That song, of course, was done when Eric was with the group. Two totally different kinds of songs are Spill and All Day Music, a good example of War's diversity. I still cannot believe I got this at such a low price (-:

4 out of 5 stars What I want to know is this..........2005-07-21

How can you have a compilation of WAR and NOT have "The World Is A Ghetto" and "Don't Let No One Get You Down" on it? This isn't a bad com,pilation, but alof the songs are short versions of the originals and is quite lacking all the way around. Get the "WAR The Very Best Of War. You'll find ALL of the biggest hits and more.

3 out of 5 stars Volume 2 Is Necessary.......2004-01-21

If you bought "The Best Of War And More", you realized the pertinent songs like "The World Is A Ghetto" and "Gypsy Man" were missing. It's good that a second volume was made to include those songs, but I don't like the remix for "Spill The Wine". If you are going to buy 2 CDs of War, get "War: Anthology (1970-1994)". It's a better purchase because it has exhaustive liner notes and detailed discography. Thus, the overall package is much better.

4 out of 5 stars Not as good as greatest hits volume 1.......2001-01-04

A great collection of material; although not as strong as the first volume. A great concert band as I saw them in Sept. 2000. Original keyboardist and lead singer (Lonny) is as good as ever.

5 out of 5 stars spill the wine and Jamie Winkler of Salem are both awesome.......1999-08-16

This is the decade when Deutsche Grammophon discovered America. Though the label's motherland is still well represented by Herbert von Karajan's unveiling young Anne-Sophie Mutter in Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5 and Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 (both played with the freshness of youth), Carlo Maria Giulini brought the yellow label to Los Angeles in a much-heralded return to opera with Verdi's Falstaff. The mellifluous though not always dramatically attuned dream cast features Barbara Hendricks (Nannetta), Katia Ricciarelli (Alice Ford), and Renato Bruson as the most poetic Falstaff on record. Leonard Bernstein's all-star but problematic Candide and West Side Story recordings are heard in well-chosen excerpts, and the one-act opera Trouble in Tahiti is reconstituted from his opera A Quiet Place (in which it was dispersed and imbedded). Elsewhere, Ivo Pogorelich's early Chopin Sonata No. 2, Ravel's "Gaspard de la nuit," and Prokofiev's Sonata No. 6 show a musician of staggering imagination limited by unrefined technique. Horowitz in Moscow, Krystian Zimerman's Chopin Ballades and Daniel Barenboim's Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3 have all aged well, though Gidon Kremer's Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto and Giuseppe Sinopoli's Mendelssohn "Italian" Symphony paired with Schumann's Symphony No. 2 have surprisingly little to say. Mischa Maisky's Bach and Vivaldi recordings (many with Martha Argerich on modern piano) have lots to say, but not to the historically informed performance crowd. --David Patrick Stearns

5 out of 5 stars Superb Schumann, etc........2000-11-08

Seven years ago I was in a Vienna music shop and passed on the opportunity to buy the original Sinopoli recording of the Schumann Second - my favorite musical work - with the Vienna Philharmonic. Until this collection was released, I had never heard this particular 2nd Symphony recording which is now truly my favorite (and I have them all). It even led me to find the original release (which includes the Manfred Overture) by searching the Internet for used CDs. Sinopoli and Vienna beautifully convey the struggle and ultimate triumph of this great symphony.

The other recordings are also among DG's best and helped to fill in several repertoire gaps in my collection. I highly recommend the entire set. Thanks to DGG for reissuing these great recordings, especially Sinopoli's Schumann.

5 out of 5 stars Who says there was nothing good in the 1980s?.......2000-04-09

Not enough can be said for this marvellous compilation of some of the finest recordings from 1978-87! Nevertheless, I will try to do some justice and start at the beginning. Anne-Sophie Mutter's Mozart concerto and stellar Bruch set the tone for this set. Very few recordings have the depth of insight into the Mozart that she does, and for such a young woman! The next disc is dedicated to another violinist par excellence: Gidon Kremer, whose Tchaikowsky concerto will blow you out of your chair, even compared with the Perlman recording of the same work. Disc three focuses on Daniel Barenboim the conductor, although the last track features one of his finest recorded piano works, the paraphrase of Rigoletto by Liszt. The two recordings featured are (brace yourself), the Perlman/Paris recording of the Lalo Symphonie Espagnole, the likes of which have not been known before or since, and the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony with Chicago and the organ of Chartres. The little catch in the Saint-Saens is that the organ part and orchestral work were recorded a month seperate from each other and across the Atlantic, but if you didn't read the liner notes, it would be impossible to tell; the editing is so well done! Ivo Pogorelich's Gaspard de la Nuit gives the work new meaning, not to say any less of his Chopin Second sonata. Giulini's conducting of Verdi's Falstaff is a force not to be reckoned with, with flawless casting to boot. I would expect more from Sinopoli than the Schumann delivers, however this is partly DG's fault for picking one of his least successful recordings. The Bernstein disc is all of his own music, including highlights from the splendid Candide and Trouble in Tahiti. Have a laugh over Carreras' pronunciation in West Side Story (why cast him as the American! ) and the other thoroughly inappropriate voices for this work, but remember that Bernstein was given the cold shoulder on this work and was trying to make it appeal to the classical crowd that had unfortunately shunned it on Broadway.

Maisky's cello playing is next, with the three sonatas originally for harpsichord and viola da gamba being played on modern cello with Martha Argerich at the piano. These are excellent recordings if inauthentic, but are certainly the best modernizations available, as are the two Vivaldi concerti with Orpheus. Saving the best for last, Vladimir Horowitz's landmark 1986 return to Moscow is no less breathtaking on the 1000th listening than on the first. There may be no better single CD of piano music in existance; the simplest track "Träumerei" from Schumann's Kinderszenen is utter perfection and emotion molded into one. Zimerman holds his own beautifully, though, with some of the best Chopin Ballades to be had. True, they lack some of the momentum and drive of the Rubinstein recordings, but the sheer technical ability displayed along with absolute control (and they're not at all skimpy on the emotion either!), they are in the top five recordings of these works ever. Add to this his recording of the Liszt E-flat concerto with Seiji Ozawa/Boston Symphony, which is flawless. The cherry on top (!) is the Liszt Totentanz, which is so often played as an overly flashy, bangy, loud and raucous showpiece. Not so here, even in such a murderously difficult and crashing work, Zimerman displays control, even if it means wrestling the work to the floor. This set is pricey, no doubt, but well worth it (and the sore arms you'll get carrying it home, another good reason to mail-order it) for the unmatched brilliance.
