About the Artist
Since Hi, How Are You Today was released in 1995 selling half a million copies worldwide, including a Triple Platinum Canadian certification, stories about Ashley MacIsaac have been told and re-told so many times that it’s impossible to tell the factual from the fictional. He has remained at the forefront of the Canadian psyche, recording and touring all over Canada, Europe, the US and Australia. Earlier this year Linus Entertainment signed Ashley for the world, and is digitally re-mastering and re-issuing his catalogue, prior to releasing a new studio album in early 2005. Currently on tour with Philip Glass.

5 out of 5 stars Keep American Hi-5 Alive!.......2007-07-18

Discovery Communications, the company behind Discovery Kids and The Learning Channel, is prepared to stop producing any new "Hi-5" TV episodes. Instead, it seems that Discovery will continue to re-run the same episodes of "Hi-5," over and over again, for now and the foreseeable future. Hi-5 fans have been watching these same shows for up to 4 years, when the first "Hi-5" episodes debuted on American TV in 2003, and, frankly... we're tired of it!

It is urgent that we let Discovery and Kids Like Us (KLU), Hi-5's producers, know that we do NOT support their decision to stop producing new "Hi-5" episodes. Time is of the essence because if no new episodes are produced soon, there will be no reason for Discovery to keep our talented cast, Curtis, Jenn, Kimee, and newest members Sydney and Yasmeen. That's right -- there will be no more Hi-5 for TV, tours, appearances, charitable work, or anything else!

Information We Need to Emphasize to Discovery and KLU
*Hi-5 merchandise is currently one of the "Top 10 Brands" at Ty's Toy Box, a key internet retailer;
*The current "Hi-5 Live" tour has been filling up arenas across Canada and the U.S.;
*The $100 VIP packages for the tour have been completely selling out; and
*Hi-5 fans across Latin America are now eagerly requesting that Hi-5 will come to tour in their countries, too.

Hi-5 fans must let Discovery recognize that they will lose this entire revenue stream, as well as our support, patience, and goodwill, if they do not make new episodes to be televised within the next year.
We also need to let Discovery realize that the current 70 episodes, which are shown on 3-month cycles on TV, aren't enough to satisfy Hi-5's unique audience. Hi-5 fans include children, parents, teens, and young adults -- how many other TV shows can deliver that kind of fanbase? Hi-5 is a unique product and does not fit into the mold of a typical children's TV show, and we need to let Discovery know that before it's too late!

5 out of 5 stars Just for your kids.......2007-07-12

It was incredible to see my 2 year-old son jumping and singing with the music of this television band. He remembers the moves and part of the lyrics so every time I play this CD I can see a great smile in his face.
I really recommend this CD for your kids. You won't regret it.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent CD!.......2007-07-06

My [...] daughter's favorite show is Hi-5, so I thought I would get this CD for when she's in my car. It's the best money I've ever spent on a CD! After I strap her in her car seat, I'll get in the front seat and she immediately says "uh-Hi" (her version of Hi-5). It's so cute that the other day I brought the video camera in the car to record her saying it and the booming smile that comes on her face when the 1st song (the Hi-5 theme) starts. I also recorded her when the song "Robot #1" starts, as she always says "robot". Since I enjoy the music as well, it's a win-win situation! After, the Hi-5 theme, there are 9 "song of the week" selections followed by several songlets from some of their skits. It's been such a big hit that I'm online today ordering a copy for my wife's car!

4 out of 5 stars Eclectic and groovy........2007-07-27

With this new album we once again find the gifted guitarist Marc Antoine blending flamenco and Latin jazz styles with equal grace and aplomb, exploring new possibilities that solo playing allows.
Antoine, who lives in Spain, used mostly local musicians for this CD, named the CD "Hi-Lo Split" for a style of poker that he learned from a group of American friends who had a regular poker night.
It is a unique set, with new compositions and his cover of one favourite 40 years old hit , "Spooky", which blends his classical training with a multi-cultural urban rhythms.
The result is an eclectic, funky album that has many interesting moments from the opening delicate track "For a Smle", inspired by his son, to the stirring title track and "Bossalectro", Marc's hommage to bossa nova inventor Joao Gilberto.
"Hi-Lo Split" , his eighth full length release ( his first for Peak Records) is a lovely listen that is ideal for that 'one special night'.
Just sit back and let the music wash away the worries of the day.
Recommended, and not just one for guitar buffs.

5 out of 5 stars Smoothjazz.com Review.......2007-07-26

I've been a big fan of Marc Antoine's signature Latin-funk guitar work since I first heard his debut disc, "Classical Soul," in 1994. Needless to say, I've been looking forward to his newest release, HI-LO SPLIT. I just got my preview copy, and I'm thrilled to say that it's another outstanding collection of music from one of the true superstars of today's Smooth Jazz. Marc's signature nylon and steel sound is enhanced this time by the Mediterranean ambience of his home in Madrid. He recorded this disc there (in his Frogland Studio), brought his friend and longtime keyboardist Frederic Gaillardet in from Paris for the project, used bassist and Cameroon native Andre Mange, and imported Luis Conte's percussion parts electronically from L.A.; he then added the sizzle of a local Spanish horn section to both the title track (the first radio single) and the fiery, tropical-flavored "Groovin' High." The result of this sun-kissed Mediterranean chemistry is a delightfully organic sound, with an unmistakable R&B twist to many of the tunes. In addition to "Hi-Lo Split and "Groovin' High," I really like the lush "For a Smile," inspired by his son Alejandro, and Marc's salute to Joao Gilberto, "Bossalectro." As for the album's title... it's inspired by his newly developed fascination with the game of poker, where a HI-LO SPLIT means the person with the highest and lowest hand wins. HI-LO SPLIT is classic Marc Antoine, with a fresh new slant, and I'm absolutely loving it. This one gets five stars! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN

Danish group Aqua arrived on the international pop scene in 1997 with their multimillion-selling smash single "Barbie Girl." Developing a formula pioneered by their successful Swedish rivals Ace of Base and Whigfield, the band demonstrated on this album that they were more than just one-hit wonders (at least in markets outside America). Skillfully crafted for instant, easily digestible consumption, Aquarium is equally entertaining at the club or at home. It's jammed full of bubblegum pop classics, ranging from the Eurodisco opening track "Happy Girls & Boys" to the Madonna-esque ballad "Turn Back Time." A treat for all pop lovers, it is an album that will both entertain and surprise. --John Galilee

5 out of 5 stars Aqua rocks........2007-06-04

Aqua the Europop group from Denmark. They bursted out onto the late 90's Dance music scene with Barbie Girl. But There are other songs on Aquarium that are awesome like Roses Are Red and Turn Back Time. Roses Are Red highlights Rene Dif's awesome unique voice, Just because his voice is really deep doesn't mean he can't sing . He CAN sing He's the Villan where as Lene is the good girl. Speaking of Lene her voice is really sexy to listen to. As She is very sexy. Both her and Rene's voices makes the songs unique and fun to listen to. Aqua are an awesome group. Claus and Soren do a great job with the music itself. and Soren's backing vocals are very good both here and on Aquarius. Aqua's second and final album. So all in all Aquarium is the best dance album. And Aqua is the best Dance group of the 90's. I wish thier career together lasted longer though. Highly Recommended for Rene and Lene's awesome vocals.

5 out of 5 stars Aqua's not all wet.......2007-05-31

This is a wonderful, bubbly pop CD. It's simply ear candy that you can just put in the player and hit play. No urge to skip, just listen. The bouncier, quicker tunes include: Happy Boys and Girls, My Oh My, Barbie Girl [of course, it's the major radio hit off this CD], Doctor Jones, Lollipop, Roses are Red, Calling You. That's the list of just the BEST songs. The others are merely less good; they're no slouches. In summary, this is simply an excellent light listen that will have the listener bobbing along with the beat and humming the melodies at work. If your coworkers can't deal with it, they're just grouches.

5 out of 5 stars A joke nobody seems to get..........2007-05-18

Aqua (and its copy-cat band Toy Box) is deeply based in satire. People keep giving this album for percieved "dirty lyrics" and "bad morals" however songs like Barbie Girl are obviously making fun of the misogyny and sex that saturate American media. IF you are willing to look past the poppy mood of this album it actually has a very amusing, intelligent point behind it. However if you are easily insulted or are buying this for someone under the age of 12 or 13 I would strongly suggest you put some consideration into whether or not you want to take a risk. Overall great CD!

4 out of 5 stars the good album.......2007-02-23

hi i think that this cd is the balm . if you look closely at barbie girl its not the most positive message but it has a great beat

5 out of 5 stars Bubblegum Techno Perfection.......2007-02-20

A guilty pleasure that is guaranteed to perk you up. From the opening track, you can't help but "be happy." But behind the cartoony silliness are simply well-written pop songs that are about as catchy as can be, and not all of them thumping techno either. Turn Back Time is the standout song that truly demonstrates the versatility of this little group of Euro Dance Pop masters. Overall, a super fun listening experience. I'm "calling you now" to give a listen. Many smiles to follow.

5 out of 5 stars I think I heard it in a movie once .......2007-06-14

I think I heard it in a movie once that maybe the books we read choose us. This is the recollection I had when picking up the documentary 'The Devil and Daniel Johnston' from the local video store (no movies to select from that day) and perhaps it applies to video as well - I really didn't know what to expect. 'The Devil...' was my introduction to this unbelievably eloquent lyricist. The first 14 tracks were done in studio some time around 85 and was Daniels first professionally recorded album - these 14 tracks coupled with the next 15 that he recorded himself - listening to them made me feel like I had discovered a treasure chest of priceless feelings. In todays image and commercially driven music scene it's really difficult to think of anything that could compare with the creativity I heard on this album (CD).
It would be wrong to categorize my picks as "hot spots" because every thing on here is GREAT but I will share the ones that come to mind right now:
1 through 29.

"There is a star and a heaven" for Daniel Johnston.

4 out of 5 stars Er, to clarify the other review...........2007-01-25

I got into Daniel Johnston through the documentary, "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" after it was recommended to me by a friend. If you haven't heard him before, I suggest you do the same, as it puts a lot of things into context, and it's a good way to here a lot of his music, easy and cheap. As the movie progressed, I found myself seeing a lot of Beck and Brighteyes in Johnston, which is to say there's a lot of Johnston in Beck and Brighteyes, since he came out a solid 10 years prior to either of them. His music is definitely not for everyone, as it's not at all polished. It IS, however, brutally honest and poetic. Definitely worth a listen if you like your lyrics to have a bit of substance.

Amazon.com's Best of 2000

Talib Kweli is probably the only MC who could do justice to "For Women," Nina Simone's righteous, ragged battle cry, and he does so with his cover on Reflection Eternal. That cut illustrates this album's timeless quality, its personal poeticism, and its strength. Kweli's lyrical skills have only improved over time, approaching the stuff of legend. And producer Hi-Tek's supple grooves balance the wordcraft perfectly. --Lizz Mendez Berry

Amazon.com

Silencing any suggestions that he's any less capable than his more high-profile Black Star partner Mos Def, Talib Kweli, along with DJ Hi-Tek, crafts a masterful debut with Reflection Eternal. Like Mos, Kweli displays an impressive range of styles and sensibilities--whether popping party lyrics on "Move Something," reflecting on the mysteries of the heart for "Love," or musing on hip-hop's death and rebirth for "Good Mourning." In comparison to Mos Def's status as a new funk soul brother, Kweli's more of a b-boy bookworm--erudite and articulate, but he can also let fly with fire and spark on the mic anytime. DJ Hi-Tek finally gets to show off his full range of production ability with a blend of hot, aggressive tracks ("Blast") and relaxed groovers ("Memories"). As good a debut as you could ask for. --Oliver Wang

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Talib Kweli and Hi Teck Makes You Want To "Move Somethin" (Rating: 10 out of 10- -5 stars).......2007-01-31

You can argue that Talib Kweli & DJ Hi Teck are the best emcee and DJ duo since Pete Rock & CL Smooth. When I first discovered them was when I was at home listening to the Music Choice Rap Channel, when the song "This Means You" popped on. That song alone wanted me to go and get that album, because of it's excellent wordplay by Kweli and Mos Def, with the production of Hi Teck.

There is not much I can say that already hasn't been said, seeing the average rating is at it's max. As I mentioned before, Kweli's rhymes are superior to hear. Being as young as I was at the time this dropped (around 14 or 15), trust me, I've never heard someone rhyme like that before. A perfect example where Kweli runs free on the mic is the song "Some Kind Of Wonderful". Another track that stood out was "The Blast" where even Hi Teck spits a verse that is also dope (the video had Talib doing two verses, but that is not on here. I'm kinda mad, since this is reissued).

Guest appearances are dope as well. My favorite would be Xzibit and Rah Digga popping up for the song "Down For The Count". Another would be the De La Soul contributed verses in "Soul Rebels". Production is also excellent by Hi Teck. Some of the song here are kind of laid back to listen to, but you can easily catch a vibe towards them.

"Reflection Eternal" (or "Train Of Thought" to some people) is one album that I can enjoy on many levels again and again. I remember listening to this album back in high school, and only a hand full of people knew who these guys were. If you ever get a chance, pick this us. The production on here is soothing and can clear your mind. If you are not familiar with Kweli, you might want to check out "Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star". I just found out Hi Teck was in a group called Mood back in '97 and will listen to that as well. Arguably one of the best that came out of Rawkus. Word up.

5 out of 5 stars Reflection Eternal/Train of Thought: Best CD you've never heard of.......2006-12-20

One of the best albums I've ever heard, I'd give it 6 stars if Amazon let me. With the exception of Gangstarr (though I think Kweli is lyrically superior to Guru), I have never heard an MC and producer mesh so effortlessly on a consistent basis like Kweli and Hi-Tek. This is a CD I put in and listen to without touching a button.

Both Talib and Hi-Tek display impressive versatility in their respective trades, starting the CD with a party track like "Move Something," then moving to songs like "Memories Live," and "Love Language". You see Hi-Tek's jazz influence in songs like "Love Speakeasy," and "Good Mourning,". I also love the Nina Simone samples. The bonus track "For/Four Women," is a song which chronicles the trials and tribulations of Black Women since they arrived to this country centuries ago. Finally, on a personal note, "The Blast" is my favorite song in the whole wide world. Not saying you should care, but that tells you how I feel about this CD. I will listen to this when I'm 50 years old and I have no doubt about that.

That being said, it absolutely KILLS me that Kweli later comes out with LPs like "Quality" and "Beautiful Struggle," and gets very few to no tracks from Hi-Tek. It boggles my mind. When you look at the results of Reflection Eternal/Train of Thought and Blackstar, it becomes clear that the duo makes great and refreshingly intelligent music. In today's rap climate, that is clearly not the norm. I don't have an afro and I don't wear Cowrie shells or dashikis, but yes, it is great to hear rap music of some substance, celebrating black music and black people. I still treasure my copies of Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic and Life After Death, but this one's also in my special CD case...

5 out of 5 stars The CD is a blast.......2006-10-09

I love the concious rap, the nature of it is so real. I can go by these tracks because of what they represent; the essence. The top 5 songs of the album:
1 The Blast
2 move somthin
3 Down for the Count
4 Good Mourning
5 Eternalists

5 out of 5 stars Very impressive........2006-09-01

I'm always up for intelligent hip-hop, and "Reflection Eternal/Train Of thought" is filled to the brim with creative rhymes, head-bobbing beats, and powerful messages. For example, "Too Late" is a song that mourns hip-hop's downfall. "Nowadays rap artists coming half-hearted/Commercial like pop or underground like black markets/Where were you the day hip-hop died?" It's so true it's almost eerie. Plus, the beat is amazing.

Another note-worthy song is "Name of the Game". An amazing piano sample plays in the backround, and Talib's crazy MC skills are practically jaw-dropping:

"'The name of the game is..'
Persistance, dedication
Consistant motivation
Resistance to stagnation of information
Distribute it free to the entire population
No hesitation
Makin it public
No privitazation from corporations"

Genius!! Seriously, no true hip-hop collection is complete without this gem. "RE/TOT" is sure to be remembered for years to come.

5 out of 5 stars Brought a tear to my eye!.......2006-05-31

This is an absolutely amazing album created by the reflection eternal. Another release that focuses on making classic songs that mean something positive to people. Songs that you can play twenty years from now and they are still dope and relevent to your life. Support emcees that have talent, not materialistic artists that make songs that will help you into a jail cell.

Album Description

*A specially priced 2CD set with over 110 minutes of some of the greatest film music in the history of cinema.

*New digital recordings in spectacular and sound performed by the acclaimed City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and National Youth Jazz Band.

*Includes world premiere recordings from "The Birdman Of Alcatraz," "Thoroughly Modern Millie," "Airplane!" and "An American Werewolf In London."

*In 2004 the world of cinema lost one of the most iconic figures in film composing. In a career that spanned half-a-century and over 250 films, Elmer Bernstein was responsible for writing the music to many of the greatest and most loved movies of all time ranging from "The Ten Commandments," "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Great Escape," through to "True Grit" and "Airplane!" This collection has been lovingly created and compiled as a tribute to a genius and true master of the art of film scoring.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Sad, Really Sad.......2007-05-13

These CDs don't meet the standards that I expect from Elmer Bernstein's wonderful film music.
*It's just Boring*
The ensemble doesn't have the energy one would expect to play "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Man with the Golden Arm". I think the City of Prague and National Youth Jazz Orchestras were bargain orchestras used to make an inexpensive CD set of one of my favorite film composers. The conducting and arrangements were what made this an obviously bad album.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent movie themes antology by ELMER BERNSTEIN.......2007-05-10

Silva Screen Records, presents this antology of the music from the late great composer/conductor ELMER BERNSTEIN, who supervised this recording just before die.
Played the The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, and conducted by his one time assistant James Fitzpatrick
Recorded in HDCD and Dolby Surround

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2007-04-22

it's unfortunate that more tracks weren't able to be recorded as theree was a good 15-20 minutes of space remaining on both discs. Regardless, this is an excellent sampler, especially in conjunction with Varese's Bernstein sampler including rare stuff like the Black Cualdron.


With regards to this silva set, these recordings range back to 1994, with Sons of Katie Elder and True Grit being recorded for a John Wayne CD and Bridge At Remagen for a CD of classic War themes. The Great Escape was also recorded for that CD, but producer James Fitzpatrick opted to record a new arrangement (same with Magnificent Seven). In '97, The Buccaneer for included on a Swashbucklers disc, while Heavy Metal was on the popular 'Space and Beyond' compilation. In '98, the world premiere recording of Airplane first appeared on a DISASTERS film disc. So while it may technically be the world premiere RECORDING it certainly is not the world premiere CD RELEASE of that recording. Ghostbusters was included on Space 3: Beyond the Final Frontier, the second followup to the popular 'Space and Beyond'. Fast forward to 2002 and 4 recordings first appeared on WAY OUT WEST: ESSENTIAL WESTERN FILM MUSIC COLLECTION VOLUME TWO, those being The Comancheros, The Hallelujah Trail, The Scalphunters and The Shootist. Man With the Golden Arm and Walk on the Wild are from Silva's JAZZ IN FILM cd.


The remaining tracks were all newly recorded for this release. They are of course the strongest tracks, seeing as the City of Prague Philharmonic has improved over time. I do wonder though why they did not include the older arrangements of Great Escape and Mag. Seven as bonus tracks.

I also recommend the simultaneously released '40 years of Film Music: Jerry Goldsmith' for another great set honoring a late great film composer.

4 out of 5 stars Great Film Music.......2007-03-09

This is a great recording of some of the best film music ever. From the
great westerns to the Theme from Airplane to music he did for television,
Bernstein was one of the greatest.

5 out of 5 stars Fun, Powerfull music.......2007-02-17

It's great! It brings back memories of my dad. He loved John Wayne and the old cowboys of the Magnificent Seven. But it's nice just to listen and relax (it's not all cowboy music).

5 out of 5 stars 5 Stars to the Guy in the Corner.......2006-11-16

This is one of those albums that subtly grows on you after a couple of runs through the CD player. No one has yet compared it to any of Theivery's other albums - which are all balanced and intoxicating. Yet, I don't think you can. Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi is on a totally different plain than any of Thievery's more recent releases. Perhaps Hi-Fi is a couple stories down with an ambiance that truly embraces the listener even through the transition of tracks. Everything seems natural.

If you've listened to more recent albums from this duo you've probably become addicted to the seductive vocals and modest choruses that become addictive over time. Not so here...Instead this album produces easy beats, slow constructions of tracks, and mellow dramatic tones that seem to open doors to trance and highly reflective states. In other words, great background music that can also be enjoyed with a little concentration.

For myself, this album brings back the nostalgia of the North Shore and the smell of pineapples. Just the whole mood of strolling by palm trees with the Pacific in the background seemed to compliment this music to an even higher state...which I'm thankful to still remember.

Give this guy in the corner a try...you might be impressed.

5 out of 5 stars Serious Addiction........2006-03-12

My addiction to this stuff is way over the top. I need to get in touch with these dudes so i can croon discordant and seductive!!! If i couldnt describe myself in words, which i cant, this type style of flow would do it. Excellent. Picked this up last nite at Tower. Each album ages sweet! Now to finish my collection.


*Rubbing hands greedily.

5 out of 5 stars This is a great CD.......2006-03-06

This is a great CD, every track is different but good. I have all their other CDs and this one completes my collection. Most music in this genere fall into one of two catagories. The more pop-oriented bands like Morcheeba, Zero 7, Hooverphonic, etc. or the more unusual ones like Stereolab, Spicehouse, Portishead, etc. Theivery Corporation is somewhere in the middle. They have good songs put together in unique ways. Their music is always refreshing. My favorite songs on this CD are; The Oscillator, Sun, Moon, and Stars, Incident At Gate 7 and Transcendence. If you like Trip-Hop/Chill, you can't go wrong with any of their albums.

5 out of 5 stars A very nice re-release.......2006-01-25

Having re-released their other albums as digipaks, Thievery Corporation did so with their first album. This is technically a re-release of the 1999 re-release, with Transcendence, Scene at the Open Air Market, Encounter in Bahia, Assault on Babylon, and One. They have removed the track Manha (which doesn't appear on the original CD anyway), which is not a big loss, and adds two tracks: Sun, Moon and Stars (from the Incident at Gate 7 single), and The Sleeper Car (from the 38.45 single). Sun, Moon, and Stars is a very nice uptempo song with a reggae-style beat, and The Sleeper Car is a very laid-back relaxed song. This is a great purchase if you didn't have these songs. Now, if they would just get around to compiling all their other B-sides, we'd be in business.

5 out of 5 stars This Is A Senior Year/High School Grad Favorite From 1981.......2007-08-05

Although this album came out in late 1980, it continued to climb the charts and was staying at number one well into the summer of 1981. The song "Keep on Loving you" was the first hit from the album. Believe it or not this song was heard in my school on boom boxes as well as over the school intercom. I remember that especially because I was a senior that year. I bought this album near the end of my senior year and realized this album was flawless from start to finish. Why they don't include every one of these songs on a greatest hits package is beyond me. But I guess you can only fit so many from R.E.O.'s long hit making career. If you want to hear the greatest studio album/CD by R.E.O. Speedwagon this remastered one is the one to get. Then for sure get the "hits" if you don't already have it. Later when it's convenient add to your collection the great sounding live album/CD of early hits "You Get What You Play For", then next the studio albums "Good Trouble" and "You Can Tune A Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish". Buying just 5 CDs you'll have virtually every one of their great songs from their 20 year peak period.

5 out of 5 stars a classic.......2007-07-09

Another one that sounds like a greatest hits CD. They had what, like 5 hits from this album? Great.

4 out of 5 stars side one rules.......2007-05-25

REO Speedwagon have an interesting lead singer who is most definitely an acquired taste. You will either like his bizarre style or you won't. I like it. I think it was especially good in the early days. With this album, released in 1980, REO Speedwagon find great success, and some of these songs can still be heard on the radio today, in 2007. Of course, "Keep on Loving You" has been played thousands of times through the years, but I still love it to pieces.

"Take It On the Run" is a pretty strange song the way the vocal melody almost sounds like it's overlapping. "Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who". It's not, though. "Don't Let Him Go" is my pick for favorite song. Great, speedy rocker with very good vocals. In fact, the guitar playing throughout the album is a highlight for me, seeing as how it's melodic most of the time. I find it funny how so many people make fun of this band for being cheesy, and yet, the guitar playing is almost heavy metal-like.

Unfortunately side two features a few short rockers that apparently the band thought would be worth putting on the record. These rockers are almost like an updated version of 50's rockers. They're okay, but nothing memorable about them worth giving a second notice to.

Overall, it's a good listen, for a pretty good band.

5 out of 5 stars Classic.......2007-05-20

I was a senior in high school when this album was released. Twenty seven years later, I'm an old man, but this album still rocks. The vocals on 'Keep on Loving You' are truly remarkable. It's cliche, but they don't make music like this anymore.

5 out of 5 stars REO SPEEDWAGON DOES IT AGAIN BY RELEASING ANOTHER ONE OF ROCK'S ALL-TIME GREATEST ALBUMS EVER........2007-04-26

I will be writing a review on the legendary masterpiece album entitled "HI INFIDELITY" by one of Rock's all-time legendary greatest bands ever. I give you one of America's pride and joy's, REO SPEEDWAGON. "HI INFIDELITY" was originally released in 1980 on Vinyl/LP and Cassette on the Epic Records label in association with CBS Inc. This legendary album would be released on Compact Disc for the first time in the mid to late 80's. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the overall best informative and most accurate review possible.

REO SPEEDWAGON will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for writing and recording some of Rock's all-time greatest sacred classic anthems ever that would contribute and change 70's Rock n' Roll music and beyond. Due to the many personnel changes that has taken place throughout the band's history, I will only focus on the band members that were together during the 1978-1988 period. These same bandmembers during this period were also involved in the writing and recording of this legendary album that I'm about to review for you today. When original REO SPEEDWAGON bandmembers, keyboardist Neal Doughty and drummer Alan Gratzer met up and recruited new REO SPEEDWAGON lead vocalist and frontman Kevin Cronin, lead guitarist Gary Richrath and bassist Bruce Hall, the stage was set and a new improved and modified band line-up would be complete giving REO SPEEDWAGON a new rejuvinated re-birth. REO SPEEDWAGON'S new specific band line-up from the 1978-1988 period would release some of Rock's all-time greatest albums ever. Following the extreme success of their latest album, "NINE LIVES," it was now time for the band to head back into the recording studio and record the follow-up album to the extremely successful "NINE LIVES" album. As time flew by, REO SPEEDWAGON would emerge and come out of the recording studio with the finished and completed acetate and hand in the finished product to Epic Records. Epic Records would later release the album as the legendary masterpiece "HI INFIDELITY" album in 1980. "HI INFIDELITY" would go on to becoming one of the band's greatest accomplishments and achievements ever. In my opinion, "HI INFIDELITY" is without a doubt, a true testament of the pure genius and musical creativity of five extremely talented individuals. "HI INFIDELITY" is also a fine fitting tribute to a great band that was truly indeed, far ahead of their time.

It is now time to let the Rock n' Roll music of REO SPEEDWAGON to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically. The legendary "HI INFIDELITY" album begins with the breathtaking drum pounding Rocker "Don't Let Him Go," one of the most beautiful love songs ever written, "Keep On Loving You," the firey hot Rocker "Follow My Heart," the incredible old fashioned Rock n' Roller "In Your Letter," the slow and powerful hard Rocker "Take It On The Run," the blistering a*s kicking hard Rocker "Tough Guys," the amazing Rocker "Out Of Season," the fantastic fast paced Rocker "Shakin' It Loose," the unbelievable energetic Rocker "Someone Tonight" and the slow and beautiful smooth Rocker "I Wish You Were There." May I also add that REO SPEEDWAGON was definitely inspired and in top form while laying down the tracks for this legendary album. Kevin Cronin's blistering lead vocals were hitting their marks perfectly on the dot. Gary Richrath's merciless guitar riffs and licks were taking the music to another level thus complimenting Cronin's firey lead vocals and combining the other bandmembers musical contributions together in perfect harmony.

Overall, this is one great legendary masterpiece album worth checking out and seeking further research and information into especially if you are a hardcore diehard REO SPEEDWAGON fan or a devout music collector. As for all of the curious newcomers and new beginners that are not quite familiar with the sound and music of REO SPEEDWAGON, you might want to research further into one of the many REO SPEEDWAGON greatest hits compilation albums in order to find the album that is right for you to invest your money into. If you still love all of the REO SPEEDWAGON songs that are on their compilation album, then it is in your best interest to purchase as many of the REO SPEEDWAGON albums that you want. Either way you choose, you will have taken a giant step in owning and starting your very own REO SPEEDWAGON music collection. You can do all of your reseaching and album purchases either on Amazon com or at your nearest local Borders Books and Music store. Buy this great album, you'll be glad that you did.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary masterpiece album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This treasure album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This is one great priceless gem that no hardcore music fan or devout music collector would want to be without.

In closing, Epic Records would release the REO SPEEDWAGON "HI INFIDELITY" album to highly critically acclaim. Soon after, The band would quickly embark on a new World Tour in what would be one of their greatest tours ever. Following the tour, REO SPEEDWAGON would record many more great albums. REO SPEEDWAGON would also have their fair shares of ups and downs and highs and lows throughout their career. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will just have to stay tuned and read further about it at a later date in the near future. With this in mind, REO SPEEDWAGON will forever leave their place and mark in Rock n' Roll history and will never be forgotten. So here's to you Kevin, Gary, Bruce, Neal and Alan. Thanks for the great memories with still many more to come. Keep Persevering. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I truly hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have truly enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that all of you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. REO SPEEDWAGON RULES! Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In rock, John L.

On Aquarium, Aqua were "Barbie Girls"; now they're "Cartoon Heroes." A slight change in context for their second album, but, essentially, it's business as usual. And let's not forget that Aqua do this slapstick kiddie-pop thing with a lot more panache than their shamelessly novelty Euro-goons peers. The relentless zaniness of Aquarius may sometimes be cloying, especially those too-chirpy chipmunk voices on "Cartoon Heroes," but there's no denying that this is a pop group that really lives this pop lark--shaved-headed frontman Rene really does talk in that comedy growl and frontwoman Lene really doesn't wear more than a stretched scrap of PVC whenever she leaves the house. This makes Aquarius quite likeable, actually--especially on the slapstick-trance workout of "Around the World," which even manages to squeeze in a brief geography lesson. --Louis Pattison

If you like the usual flare of Aqua's music, this will not disappoint. The techno beat is great for dancing, cleaning the house, or just having fun. My kids love it!

5 out of 5 stars Aquarius RULES!!!.......2007-02-16

I am glad Aqua made a album "Aquarius" and a song "Aquarius" because I am a Aquarian as well. My birthday is in January.

4 out of 5 stars A funny album!.......2006-11-10

Well since i was a kid, the only song that i heard of aqua was her classic "Barbie Girl", but i was always curious about this group; I thought they were just one hit wonder group, but i found out that they are great musicians,with lots of great songs, and touching lyrics.
My favorite songs of this albums are cartoon heroes, freaky friday, but above all, aquarius!!! this song it's simply fantastic.
If you wanna have some fun, and then, to have some fantastic memories you must have this album!

3 out of 5 stars Not quite as expected........2006-08-07

I got this album after having faith in their previous one. After all, Aqua was all the rage of kids back then. It changed a lot from the previous album, and it was a whole lot different from "Barbie Girl".

Still, the songs were relatively good, but they never stood out a whole lot to me. They just seemed distant to me, and they didn't quite pack the punch Aquarium had. Though, I still did like the songs on this CD called "Around the World" and "An Apple a Day". As a bonus, this CD also has the music video for "Cartoon Heroes" on it.

3 out of 5 stars Aqua. Plain,simpel, and good earfillers on this one.......2006-04-03

Lene Nystrøm has a certain charisma, and this CD is very "easy listen". When you mix these part`s together, you get an earfriendly mix of good dance/pop music. The reason is the rythmic beat alltrough that makes it as somekind of "quality bubblegum" popmusic. Track 1 Cartoon Heroes, say`s it all. This is very cartoonish, both vocal and musical wise. Lene has a "cartoonish" voice where here voice fits perfect in to this kind of music. Track 2 Around the world is an another exampel, with here let`s call it "squeaky" vocal brings this song forward in a quite interesting way. Rene Dif growling singin
is also a funny contrast, which put`s them together as a whole. Track 3 Freaky Friday, has a fast backbeat rythm, which pushes it more or less headalong in a very fast tempo. Something different this one, with a small dash of country music bit`s and pices here and there. Track 4 We belong to the sea is a great pop song, with more depth to Lene`s and Rene`s voice. It has a melody which is very easy to fetch, and it`s nothing wrong with that. Track 5 An apple a day, it`s a hardtop, fastback, sprint Aqua song, which goes around in a dizzy way. Track 6 Halloween. Aqua goes "horror movie" this time. A creepy opener, but then it fells flat. The rest is to thin to make it scary. There are some weird Rene Dif growls hear and there but it doesn`t help too much. Track 7 Good guys is better and here the right "buttons" when it comes to "hit potensial are put on. There are more debt to Lene`s voice on this one. Track 8 Back from Mars, are in the Sc Fi department. To much cliches, but as Lene has sang before: Life it`s full of cliches. Track 9 Aquarius is the ballad of the CD, and it`s ok, but nothing special. Here voice sounds clear and has some depth and flair on this one. Track 10 Cuba Libre. Aqua does "carriebean" but it ends up as "poor whoman`s ethnic" inspired music.
Track 11. Bumble Bees, it`s a very funky "brainwasher" in a more or less positive sence. Track 12 Goodbye to the circus is a good closer, with a "circus touch" musical whise. Aqua. Plain and simpel dance music, with many times an ear for the good and effective beat and melodies. Aqua is anyway something different, a little bit over average in their genre of music. 3 1/2 star, well somewhere around there.

I've always enjoyed 80's music and this is the perfect compilation for anyone that wants an assortment of good songs on one CD.

5 out of 5 stars Motivational Dance Cd enabled me to lose 30 lbs!!!!.......2004-02-13

I was a couch potatoe with no drive when I bought this cd awhile back. Since implementing this cd into my life, I have lost a good 30 lbs and still losing! It has motivated me from cleaning up the house to working out. When you have motivation, you keep moving, therefore you burn calories. I believe music changes the way you feel. If you want a great pick me up, I highly recommend Pulse.
