Little Patience

Editorial Reviews

About the Artist
African reggae star Majek Fashek (born Majekodunmi Fashede)attracted international attention in 1987, when his self-penned tune, "Send Down The Rain" seemed to coax a rain storm that ended one of the worst droughts in Nigeria's history. His debut solo album "Prisoner Of Conscience, released in 1988, sold more than 200,000 coipies in Nigeria alone. It was followed by "Spirit Of Love" a year later, produced by the inestimable Little Steven. "The Best Of Majek Fashek" was released in the UK in 1994 incorporating much of Majek's classic African material, and in 1997 "Rainmaker" was released on Tuff Gong International. He has been called a prophet and a poet, and has become one of Aftica's greatest singers and musicians with his powerful world beat sound.

Product Description
"Little Patience" is the culmination of his life's work. Majek truly sings from the soul about the political and social struggles he has faced in his travels from Nigeria to the USA. It is a remarkable collection that incoporates the influences of Bob Marley, Fela and Jimi Hendrix as Majek seamllessly meshes roots, rock, reggae and Afrobeat into a unique signature sound he calls Kpangolo. Majek will have your soul, spirit and body dancing if you have a "Little Patience".

4 out of 5 stars Well worth the price.......2006-04-13

I love this CD. No, despite its name it is not the "ultimate" collection, as scarcely could be expected from a single CD. It is heavy on Mikado, as others have stated. It leaves out things I would have included and includes things I would have left out. But the performances are wonderful, traditional and all you expect from G&S. Considering the low price, it is well worth including in your G&S collection ... as PART of your collection. After the disappointment of the godawful Opera World video series (Don't buy it!) this CD is a joy and a relief.

3 out of 5 stars Not Exactly "The Ultimate" Collection..........2004-12-23

It seems that a collection of Gilbert & Sullivan music that has the name "The Ultimate Collection" in its title would boast a wide range of music, but I found the selection disappointing. Half of the tracks are songs from The Mikado, and the other half is divided between five... yes, FIVE other operettas. This means that the representation from each operetta is awfully scant. I would have liked to see less Mikado and more of everything else, and perhaps some highlights from the more obscure operettas (Princess Ida and The Sorcerer, namely).

In addition, while most of the music is very well performed, some of the vocalists either go a bit overboard or, at the very opposite end, seem to lack expression. For example, this Nanki-Poo (in The Mikado) seems to be overly occupied with vibrato. Katisha's voice is annoying, and The Mikado's low voice often seems to lack feeling and humor. The other idiosyncracies, like the very frightening evil laughing during "A More Humane Mikado" and hissing during "Three Little Maids" really bug me.

Then again, I'm new to Gilbert and Sullivan, and was introduced to the music through the Topsy Turvy soundtrack, which has a noticeably less operatic style, and hardly includes "stage noise"... so perhaps all this is the norm. Do listen to the tracks for yourself, though, before you purchase the CD. Personally, I find that the Topsy Turvy soundtrack, while considerably less ecompassing, is much lighthearted and easier listening.

2 out of 5 stars Where's the chicks?!?!.......2003-05-15

It wouldn't be G&S if not for the ladies - so where are they? How could they leave out Mabel's aria - or Josephine's!? The only female aria included on this disc comes from Mikado, which is the least exciting (if G&S could be un-exciting) of the three! Everything else on the recording is great, but I am still quite disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Not quite the ultimate...........2002-03-25

This is a great collection, but unfortunately it doesn't have songs from all the works of G&S. Most notably, there is nothing from the "Yeoman of the Guard". I still reccommed it however as John Reed is wonderful!!

4 out of 5 stars Great Music - Questionable Selection.......2002-02-05

It's an ongoing challenge to find a recording of Gilbert and Sullivan that combines premium musicality and great theatrical performance. This recording is a true gem on both fronts. My only complaint is that for a "Best of" collection, this compilation is Mikado-heavy and scarcely touches on highlights from other masterpieces, particularly The Pirates of Penzance. This would be my favorite G&S CD of all time, of only it included tracks like "When the Foeman Bares his Steel," "Poor Wand'ring One," and "Dry the Glist'ning Tear," but then again, I guess there's no real consensus as to which are Gilbert and Sullivan's best works, and there are too many to fit on one CD.

5 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2007-06-27

One word -- WOW! This CD is one of the best reggae CDs ever made. I have been a fan of Fashek since the 1980s. His voice and lyrics are beautiful, but they come together on this CD like never before. "Little Patience" is, musically, the most upbeat of all of Fashek's albums, but lyrically perhaps the most serious. If you like the roots reggae sound then you cannot do much better than "Little Patience." The variety in songs is solid, with the usual talking drums, solo guitar, horn work, and more. There honestly is not a weak song here. At one time Fashek was being touted as the African Bob Marley (as were a couple other African artists), and I thought that was a bit of a ridiculous comparison. However, this album makes me believe that this musician may very well live up to that title. This is simply a wonderful work!

4 out of 5 stars have patience with little patience.......2007-05-05

this is the sound of Majek in the 21st century..not bad very upbeat and political like his past efforts and full of great songwriting and musicianship. I noticed some of these copies were selling really cheap, another great oppurtunity for anyone interested in Reggae or Nigerian artist to grab this one, or two, or three..whatever the case you wont be dissapointed.

5 out of 5 stars BEST OF MAJEK SO FAR!.......2005-08-06

I have had the good fortune to own all of Majek's CDs to date, from the ground-breaking 1988 release, `Prisoner of Conscience' to the latest album, `Little Patience' released in 2004. To my mind, `Little Patience' is the best so far, not perhaps in terms of musical accomplishment (all his CDs are superb!) but in terms of creativity and the coming of age of a great musical genius.

For those new to his music, Majek Fashek is a dread-locked Nigerian-born reggae musician, now partially based in the United States, who has released several critically-acclaimed CDs representing the best of the genre. Successfully combing reggae rythmns and an Afrobeat horn section against a background of virtuoso rock guitar riffs, his music contains the ingredients that make you think and dance at the same time. It is fair to say that had this talented artist started his career in the United States and received the necessary media exposure, he would have received the same recognition as possibly Santana or Stevie Wonder. Certainly there is no hip-hop or rap artist alive who can rival him in his exposition of `black' music. `Little Patience' shows his multiple talents as a singer, guitarist, keyboardist, producer and arranger. It also showcases the source of his musical inspiration - Bob Marley, for his lyrics and spiritual leaning towards Rastafarianism, Fela Anikulakpo-Kuti for his horns and political activism on behalf of black Africa's suffering masses, and the great Jimi Hendrix for his guitar mastery. I am sure these are the `departed masters' he acknowledged and thanked on the album cover.

Personally, I think all the tracks on this CD are great, except perhaps `Virgin.' My favorites are `Let it shine,' `Our Father,' a reprise of a song from an earlier album, and the seminal `Man of Sorrow,' which in my opinion should have been the title track instead of the rather predictable (for Majek) `Little Patience.' Finally, he also pays tribute to the late Nigerian musician and bandleader, Fela Anikulakpo-Kuti, with the sizzling `Water no get enemy.'

All in all, `Little patience' is a great CD, and an excellent introduction for the new buyer to this great international star.




5 out of 5 stars Excellent CD!.......2005-06-24

I have been a Majek Fashek fan for a while now and this CD is in many ways Fashek's masterwork. With powerful songs like the soulful "Power of Woman" or the inspireing "Someday One Day". Majeck's influeces (bob Marley, Jimmy Hendrix, among others)are evident in this record. This record has the best of his African roots with a little touch of rock thrown in for good measure.

It is really a fantastic CD and I highly reccommend it to everyone!

4 out of 5 stars Little Patience is a potent musical brew........2005-06-17

This release marks the return of Majek Fashek to his Nigerian and reggae roots. Fashek synthesizes Rastafarianism, Yoruba, and Edo traditions to form a rich lyrical mélange that is distinctly his own. Little Patience is a potent musical brew of Reggae and Afro-Beat with a drop of Fuji and a touch of Rock.

Is it World Beat, Reggae, Afro-Beat, Afro Pop? Who cares!
Majek Fashek & the Prisoners of Conscience offer a musical style that's truly universal. Don't worry about the categories, just enjoy the music.

5 out of 5 stars Don't underestimate those "unknown" Operettas!!.......2005-07-07

This is, as far as I know - the only way of buying the "official" recordings of "The Grand Duke" and "Utopia" - which seem to be otherwise out of print!! Several of the others are not that easy to get either.

In any case - most people getting this set will already have the Mikado, and very probably Pirates and Pinafore for that matter, so you're really getting it for the others.

So just for the record - someone has to say this!

The Mikado is (of course) a wonderful piece, but it enjoys its long running status as the most successful of all the G&S operettas very largely for "extra-musical" reasons. It is visually so wonderful, with all those great authentic costumes, and the whole idea of satirising English institutions by pretending they are Japanese is of course brilliantly funny.

Again, Pirates and Pinafore enjoy a lot of their acclaim simply because we have heard them so often. And at least part of the initial success of these (admittedly very funny and entertaining) pieces was the vogue for "nautical drama" on the popular Victorian stage.

Iolanthe, Ruddigore, and Yoemen are all MUCH stronger musically than any of what another reviewer here keeps calling the "trilogy". Patience, Princess Ida, and the Gondoliers all excel either "nautical" operetta, at least musically, although not, perhaps, the Mikado. And I have had a lot of fun listening to my recording of the Sorcerer - although I think most at least of the other G&S operettas are even more interesting.

As for "Trial by Jury" it is really another thing altogether - but in its kind the most perfect thing either Gilbert or Sullivan had anything to do with!

This leaves Utopia and the Grand Duke.

Both of these were produced after the long running friendship between G&S had soured, and they have been sadly neglected ever since. Utopia is none the less both musically beautiful and very funny, and well worth taking an effort to come to grips with. The main point of the satire (which many commentators and reviewers seem to miss) is the way that the English language and British (especially English) institutions were being adopted, often rather uncritically, by countries around the world (most, but not all, of them members of the British Empire, of course). India is perhaps the country Gilbert had most in mind, but you could set it in any of a dozen other countries. The residual problems this has left in the post-colonial world ensure that this work is still far from dated. In some ways this operetta is about globalisation! What could possibly be LESS dated than that!

The Grand Duke, on the other hand, is a bit of an odd man out - I suppose you still have to say it is the weakest of all the G&S efforts. It's the ONLY one that didn't score a very respectable run on its first outing. Surprisingly, however, if an attempt is made to duplicate the musical and (especially) dialogue cuts that G&S would have done themselves if they had not by this time been at each other's throats all the time, a very entertaining piece can be made of it. I was very agreeably surprised by the Ohio Light Opera recording, which does just that - and I am coming round to the idea that the only thing really wrong with the Duke is that it is too long.

ANYWAY:

For all people (especially callow youth) who remain convinced that G&S only wrote three operettas worth listening to - all I can say is, buy this set, and give the lesser known ones a chance. Make sure you have a libretto in your hands as you listen, of course. It may even just need a single hearing in some cases, but otherwise, be patient. In the meantime, you really cannot have any conception of what you are missing.

5 out of 5 stars A few details.......2004-03-28

This 24-CD album consists of 12 plastic cases, each with a thin booklet giving background and plot summaries for the works on its 2 enclosed CD's. Most of the album consists of 15 operettas, 2 of which (Cox and Box, The Zoo) have texts not by Gilbert and 7 of which (The Sorcerer, Princess Ida, The Mikado, Ruddigore, Yeomen of the Guard, Utopia Limited, The Grand Duke) omit most of the spoken dialogue. Before listening to any of these operettas that you don't know well, you'll want to obtain a copy of its text so you can read along and not miss any of the words or the wit.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful set, if a little inconsistent at times........2003-07-07

If you thought that the Sargent set of G&S opera recordings was gargantum enough, then this D'Oyly Carte cycle is even more gargantum. Although it is more expensive (because of the four extra operas that the Sargent cycle did not include), this complete 24-CD set is like a joy to behold. There is a debate as to whether this is better than the Sargent cycle, but I like to think that this is a delight from first disc to last, because of the idiomatic sense of polish that these recordings seem to have, and are given a life that makes them able to breathe well. This is all thanks to Isidore Godfrey and Royston Nash's conducting. I know that the performances may not be entirely consistent (this is evident when you compare the performance and recording quality of Mikado and Pirates with those of Gondoliers and Pinafore), but this is only a matter of personal preference. The 1960s performances were given more sumptuous and well-detailed recordings than the 1970s recordings, made when the performing style was not so fresh. But anyway, I still think that this is definitely a good buy for anyone who loves G&S. Even with the consistency of Sargent's cheaper EMI set, I would still say: do go ahead to invest in the set because of the liveliness and style in this complete G&S cycle that Sargent never (hardly ever) tackles. The only thing is: I would also like to suggest complementing it with the 1957 Decca D'Oyly Carte recordings of Mikado and Pirates, recently released by the Sounds on CD label, so that these recordings can do justice to the enormous spirit of these operas.

5 out of 5 stars Great Sampling of Gilbert & Sullivan Gems.......2001-08-22

Gilbert & Sullivan have been well-served on disc and this compliation of 22 tracks taken from of some of their most popular operettas is certainly no exception. Contained here are tuneful hits from HMS Pinafore, Pirates of Penzance, Iolanthe, Mikado, Patience, and the Gondoliers. These performances are taken from the complete sets by Sir Malcolm Sargent conducting the Pro Arte Orchestra, Glyndebourne Festival Chorus, and several outstanding soloists. I own several of these complete operettas by this group and can attest to their excellence in both singing and orchestral playing. I feel these performances are the best available, and that's a huge compliment given the fine competition. I love playing this disc in my car whenever I'm in a Gilbert & Sullivan "greatest hits" mood. Whether you're a novice or veteran to these works, you can't beat this highly enjoyable CD. Recommended!

As a vintage G&S listener, I appreciated this collection but I think it would mostly appeal to the specialist-completeist. A newcomer to the genre would do well to get a full operetta DVD. (I prefer the OK BBC performances to the tarted up & modernised Australian ones.)

Old-comers probably already have all these tracks as part of their collection of vintage full operetta recordings.

But don't let my idiosynchratic views deter you if you really like G&S... but not to the extent of buying all the vintage full operetta versions.
