Al Green's Best!.......2007-02-14
This CD has it all. The very best of Al Green is just that. If you want a great CD this is it. I love this CD. Do not hesitate to buy it!
Al Green At His Best.......2007-01-24
This album gets most of the best of Al's early recordings,but it missed a few. All in all this is a good collection of the best of Al Green.
Have I been asleep?.......2006-07-24
Just seen him live in Brooklyn NY,which compelled me to go out and buy this timeless Jewel. The show was pretty awesome as well. I've always heard the usual radio tracks and knew he was probably someone very special,musically,but after seeing him then picking up this double disk, I now realize that of course his voice is like silk but the bands music was just pure Brillance.
As I listen to these timless great tracks it's easy to get lost in either his voice,the words,the organ,the rhytym guitar,the horns or the Drums. It like their either all working or theirs a standout instrument,the Voice and the words are always their.
Like in "I'm Still in love with you" it's possible to get lost in any one of these elements
but what really stands out is the Drums,the way he sets the tempo,changes it then comes back to it,while everyone else comes in and out one at a time is just something to marvel at.an audiophiles dream,their's just so much to listen to in this one track catching it once in a while on the radio could never do it justice,and I'm sure you could say that about anyone of these 34 tracks,they each have something special about them and Al is always just right there, steady and smooth.
In concert this past week his vocal was strong and steady and on few occasions while he was singing songs like "Lets get Married" and "Simply Beautiful" he looked like he took a short trip to that other place, the place few of us get to,while alive.
He was still in total control of the voice,mic and the crowd.
It's not just my Farthers music anymore.
I"m so glad he's still with us.
Minister of Soul..........2005-04-20
I grew up on a steady diet of Al Green and I always said when I got my own place, I would never listen to an Al Green song, nor would I eat okra! Well at least, I kept to one of those promises I made myself! I refuse to eat okra but as far as Mr. Green, well he's down in my bone marrow, so I have no choice. It's amazing as much as I cried about Saturday morning house cleaning while listening to Al Green, it turns out that I have become my mother! I do exactly as she did...I wake up on Saturday mornings put on my Al Green and commence to cleaning my house, from top to bottom. The only difference is that its not an 8 track and I don't use Pine Sol or Ajax! Isn't it strange how we come full circle!
Anyway..this is a classic collection of great soul music...treat yourself..bring in something new, or visit something tried and true! This CD contains great rare hits like "Belle" and "Full of Fire", most compilations don't usually include those 2 tracks. I'm glad they finally did a two disc set of his music...that has all the great radio hits and plenty of rare and off the beaten path tracks too! I love Al Green, and as much as I tried to get away from him, it's amazing how I ended up happily with him, just like an old trusty blanket!
Oh and this CD also has two of my all time favorite Al Green songs..,"Livin' For You," and "You Ought To Be With Me." They could have added his version of "Pretty Woman," but this set doesn't lack because it isn't here, just a personal choice of mine. Other classic rare cuts: "I've Never Found A Girl," and "I Can't Get Next To You."
Please, please, take my advice: Run...don't walk to purchase these classic gems! You will never regret the decision to add Mr. Soul Man himself in all his splendid glory to your music collection. He personifies Gritty Soul!
saved my life.......2005-02-10
i have been in a world of darkness now since al showed me the light he has saved my life and kept me happy instead of sad. i used to try to kill myself but this cd helped me out alot

One of the best kept secrets in music today..........2006-11-22
I first heard Jon & the AMG one Saturday night at the Clearwater Jazz Holiday in Clearwater, FL. They came on just after a particularly uninteresting straight-ahead jazz trio had pretty much put the crowd to sleep. Jon & the boys opened with "So Damn Good" and within 60 seconds they had me and the 9,000 other people in attendance partying our brains out. I've been a HUGE Jon Cleary fan since that moment. Buy this CD. It's great. If you don't like it you're an idiot.
More Hipper.......2005-01-29
I bought this CD a few months back, and it is, without a doubt, one of the funkiest things I have ever heard. I listen to it at least once a day, and the cover of the Meters tune "Just Kissed My Baby" is worth the price of the CD alone. Cleary is a master, and the Monster Gentlemen live up to their name, and then some. I love the CD so much, it brought me out of retirement as a keyboard player. Every single person who has heard me playing this CD has asked me about it. I work in a bar, and put it in the CD player one night, and every head in the place was bobbing, and I even got requests for repeat plays. You cannot go wrong with this CD!!!!
Graitt, Funky, Piano master!.......2004-02-23
This is a great funky groove start to finish by a guy and his band that is
only getting better. Its great to see him with Bonnie Raitt
on tour and as her keyboard player. He just brings out the best
in so much of Bonnie's newer stuff. He is by far the most funky
keyboard player I've heard in a long, long time. I love this new collection!!
See this guy LIVE whenever you can!
New- New Orleans Funk.......2003-05-13
I've been listening to New Orleans Funk for 3 decades & traveling to Jazzfest since 1990, and have heard a LOT of N.O. funk. Cleary performs and writes for Bonnie Raitt, and has a wonderful ear for arranging. This CD is very diverse in its musical jendre but still draws you to listen over and over - I've had it in my car's player for weeks at a time. It is the BEST - and just a little askew of what we commonly hear as N.O. Funk. Cleary's a fabulous songwriter and a creative arranger of 'old standards' such as "Just Kissed My Baby." This is definitely one of my top 10 CD's I own.
Funk and Groovin' New Orleans Style.......2003-05-07
Not the George Clinton and P-funk kind of funk music but in a funky groove all of its own. Cleary (originally a Brit now adopted by New Orleans) gives this album a distinct New Orleanian flavor and passion with a cruising kind a funk---meaning that you can listen to it in your car to jam, at cocktail hour, at a club or even jazzfest. The best part of this CD is that I didn't feel the need to say---he was better live. It's just that good!

This sampler, which appeared in 1997, features Robert Shaw, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and its associated choruses in selections from some of the choral-orchestral blockbusters they recorded for Telarc between 1979 and 1993, in consistently excellent sound. Shaw's unrivalled mastery of this repertory shines through in every selection on the disc, not least in the excerpts that frame the program: the final pages of the "Prologue in Heaven" from Boito's Mefistofele, and the towering conclusion of Mahler's Symphony No. 8, both magnificently done. Just one warning: after listening to this, you're likely to find yourself hurrying back to buy the recordings of the complete works. --Ted Libbey

One Who Loved Sir Robert; eager to see him again .......2006-06-30
If anyone goes back into that memory of nostalgia...It is easy to create good reminders of seeing, hearing and singing with Sir Robert Conducting JS Bach, Berlioz, Brahms, Mozart, Poulenc, Schubert and Vivaldi!
When anyone hears once again Donna Carter, Edith Wiens, Judith Blegen, Susan Dunn, Christine Brewer, Dawn Upshaw and William Stone it is a totally unforgetable Moment! Upon more keenly intense listening I found similarities in the voices of Edith Wiens...Judith Blegen and Donna Carter. In fact, I can exchange the songs of Donna, Edith and Judith without being sure of which is the right soprano. That is almost equal to the voice of Susan Dunn! The last two Sopranos, Christine Brewer and Dawn Upshaw are different qualities with a bit more variety of color and depth! Shaw had a masterful taste in choosing the right soprano for each demand and challenge!
When one dwells upon Shaw Favorites with CD's of "Deep River & other SPIRITUALS, Christmas with Robert Shaw, surely, CHORAL MASTERPIECES and Johannes Brahms GERMAN REQUIEM...what else is THERE?
No other Choral Inflence has been seen greater than upon Donald Neuen, Craig Jessop or Norman MacKenzie! SING-Cerely, "Revi" Fred W Hood
I may be musically challanged but...........2002-10-23
This is one of those recordings that would have a hole worn in it from overuse if CD's were capable of getting holes from being used. This is the most used CD in my entire collection. I love it! It picks me up when I am down and it quiets me when I am high. It send shivers down my spine and sets my heart pounding. In short, it does everything a good CD is supposed to do. I don't want to listen to an hour of the same piece. I am entirely content listening to the highlights. As I said before, I may be musically challanged, but this CD is my favorite.
Good selection of pieces, uniformly flat performances.......2000-07-27
This is a collection of choral selection from previous Telarc recordings featuring the Robert Shaw Chorale and the Atlanta Symphony. Recording dates range from 1979 to 1993.
It's a great cross-sampling of (mostly) Romantic-era choral pieces, the choral singing is as usual impeccable, and it's a great group of soloists.
As these excerpts are from some of my very favorite pieces of music, I kept wondering why I wasn't more enthusiastic about this compilation.
Part of the problem is hearing the music in excerpts (a movement here, an aria there) is pretty frustrating. Entering smack in the middle of the last movement of Mahler 8, it can take you a while to get your musical bearings.
I'm also not wild about most of the interpretations, many of which struck me as kind of flat and uninspired (the Verdi Requiem and the Mahler 8 stick out in my mind). Suffice to say I didn't learn anything new about any of the pieces on the album, and in every case there is a recording of the work I like much better. (Except the Cavalleria rusticana excerpt, which I really liked, go figure.)
Bottom line: if you're not familiar with these works, and want a good (and very well-performed) cross-section of Romantic choral pieces, give it a listen. But then do yourself a favor and buy complete and more inspired versions of the pieces you really like.
Standard Shaw.......2000-05-29
Like all of Shaw's recordings, this one is once again up to standards. A great assortment of selections from the religous works of many artists.

Album Description
Like every musical genre these days, House is undergoing transformation. Internationally acclaimed producer and DJ, Julius Papp, leads this metamorphosis with his newest release, Loveslapped by Julius Papp. Julius presents three tracks, along side other Loveslap artists who believe House should be a musical journey containing all the emotions, feelings and elements of real life. Moving away from the common "colder" synth-based sounds long associated with the genre towards the integration of more live instruments and organic sounds, Julius purposefully tells a story with his song composition and selection.
Building on his early musical influences from the 1970's when disco, soul and rock all coexisted on the same radio stations, Julius expanded his musical interests over the years to include everything from dance to old school funk to hip hop and jazz. With this eclectic culmination in mind, he developed a smoother edge, a deeply soulful soothing style of House that is captured in this new release.
Over the past decade, Julius has played radio, maintained packed residencies, and toured throughout the world. For this exciting new mixed CD, Julius drew exclusively from the Loveslap catalog and family of artists to create his realization of how it feels to be Loveslapped by Julius Papp.
Customer Reviews:
Julius Papp continues to inspire!.......2006-12-21
I've known few exceptional creative talents in my lifetime and even fewer geniuses.
Julius Papp is the only person on both lists.
His vision is always out ahead and around the corner, never redundant or static.
If you talk to him ask him to call me before I sell the story surrounding his first ever commercial offering to the National Enquirer.
Just the story because I still enjoy the tape to this day.
I know the way to San Jose!
the V.I.P. of House CDs.......2003-04-16
Loveslapped! by Julius Papp is all that I've ever wanted in a house mix: consistent, soulful, inspired and sexy. It's the essence of a pretty-people pool party in L.A. and a glowing sunset in Ibiza. All of the right elements of style and passion have been craftily mixed together by Julius Papp. This is the V.I.P room of house mix CDs.
Master of love and groove.......2002-10-03
Julius, you've come a long way baby.
Still the master from back in the day.
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Daddy's all grown up now and aren't we proud?
You must get "Loveslapped" by Julius Papp.
Nothing else compares to this experience!
3.5 for deep house done right.......2002-08-20
Way, way underground and for some time Julius Papp's been putting his fingers on some of the finest deep house music around. Last year's darling Esho Funi v1 would have made even the scantily clad Naked Music gals flush with envy, as the handful of alert buyers who snatched up that barely-marketed jewel well know.
Here, Papp again attaches himself to another American micro-label, Loveslap! Recordings, a family of a few highly talented individuals. He leads with his elegant guitar ballad "A Flower Blossoms," quickly trumped by the exquisitely backed vocals from Carrie on sweet love story "Adore" from Santillan, Gray and Brann. Vocal pieces and instrumentals are held in balance, with novel surprises (the French soul of "Belle et Bete") and occasional foray into jam band territory (the organic approach to "Rial".) Final nods go for the guitar-led groover "All I Do."
Except for some unwelcome keyboard interludes on "Azziza" and "Grace," Loveslapped is deep house done right, flowing together in a warm haze but with enough chops for the dance floor.
Reference Material.......2002-08-19
This is an excellent CD for the quality of production alone. Use this CD when testing new equipment or when you just need to put something on that will have you humming, smiling and probably cutting up the rug. The careful listener will hear a thing or two that they have not heard before. It's a mix cd so the tracks encompass a broad range of moods and tastes from soulful accoustic to mental electronic. The remix of "Adore" is a superb track which beautifully combines the best aspects of both worlds. Too often a CD like this one relies to heavily on a few big tracks but this disc is produced beautifully and the mood that is set never falters and great music is skillfully delivered until the end. It's not often that you hear a break or a revved up chorus and you lose your train of thought while conversing with friends but parts of this CD do that to me everytime.
