Horrible.......2004-11-06
Joyful Album!!!!!!.......2004-01-11
I don't rate this cd because it doesn't deserve a rate.......2003-10-01
This second work is a totally mess, a waist of time.
I wonder if it was written, composed and sung by the same people of the first one.
Don't buy it if you liked Close To Silence.
Don't buy it at all!
So-o-o-o-o Disappointed.......2003-08-14
"Otten's vocal style is mesmerizing, overwhelming & amazing".......2003-05-27
The entire album is priceless (all eleven tracks), his delivery is impeccable and right on the money. Looking forward to future projects from this one-of-kind artists ~ he hits every note without looking back ~ that is the sign of a well-trained singer/performer. Hats off to Higher Octave for releasing this album and to our favorite vocalist ~ THOMAS OTTEN!

Unique approach of expected heaviness versus unexpected elements.......2006-03-22
"Cancer of the Industry" starts off with pounding drums and Eastern influenced wind instruments. It doesn't take long before the calm turns into a thunderstorm of driving riffs and furious vocals. "Monkey Tail" focuses more on mellow structures with woodwind instrumentation and subtle guitar. Yakuza may paint a peaceful scene at first, but in the fevering final minutes, they really drive it home. "Dishonor" comes at you with mighty riffs, blood-thirsty vocals, and devastating drum work from start to finish.
Thoughts of being lost in a dark, scary jungle is what will ring through you brain when you hear "20 Bucks." The vocals are haunting and echoed when they're not filled with rage and intensity. The nine minute epic "Back to the Mountain" is bay far the best track on the album. Not only is it true to the hardcore form, but the Eastern influence adds texture and grander appeal to the track.
The Bad
Nothing notable
The Verdict
Samsara is defined by its unique blend of progressive elements and kick ass metal. The group's unique approach of expected heaviness versus unexpected elements is quite refreshing.

For his post-Zippers debut, former Squirrel Nut frontman Tom Maxwell shows great skill at mixing musical languages. For starters, he opens with a sona solo (that's a Chinese reed instrument, natch). Then he kicks in with a pair of horn-heavy rave-ups--"Sixes and Sevens to Me" and "The Uptown Stomp." What stands out in the swing department is Maxwell's more cabaret-touched approach, less about Setzerian flash and more about energetic detail and drama. Just as a sona solo opens the album, so too two other Buddhist numbers appear: "Some Born Singing" and the title track, both sung by Holly Harding Baddour. She has a voice that peaks and wavers on these Asian-tinged numbers and then swaggers on "If I Had You," a sultry cabaret swinger. Maxwell moves in other directions, too: "Flame in My Heart" is a George Jones tune, faithfully rendered, "Three Fire Blues" is Maxwell as a solo guitar bluesman, and "You Always Get What's Coming" has the leader duetting with Tom Loncaric on pipe organ. Samsara's an ambitious outing, as big in scope maybe as are Maxwell's spiritual notions. This is also an immense creative success. --Andrew BartlettCustomer Reviews:
Ultimate in diversity.......2001-09-11
Record of the year for me!.......2001-08-02
An excellent and diverse CD!!!.......2001-06-12
This CD has also introduced me to the melodious voice of Holly Harding Baddour. The pieces If "You Had Me" and "Samsara" shows that she is equally competent to any female jazz vocalist. Tom Maxwell is a musical genius and there is no doubt about that. He can play not only lots of instruments, but also can sing with sheer confidence. His vocal in "The Uptown Stomp", "Don't Give Me Runaround", "No Body Likes Me" just proves that. His solo gitar "Three Fires Blues" is one of the best solo gitar blues that I have heard. This CD is for mature music lover, but it can also be a great introduction for novice who wants to taste the great jazz music of the old days. This CD is extremely diverse. Flame in My Heart sounds like country music and Some Born Singing by Holly Harding Baddour reminds me as if I am listening to Radio Peking. It is very Chinese indeed.
I thank every musician who has contributed to this album, especially my cordial thanks again goes to the producer of this CD Mr. Mike Napolitano who previously have produced some of the most brilliant albums that I have ever listened and he is still keeping that promise. As a jazz enthusiast, I consider this CD to be a gem in my collection. If I had the opportunity, than I could give this CD six stars. Buy this CD NOW and I promise you will never regret for that.

one of the best .......2007-06-27
And the hole movie is fully completed with the original music from Tibet. Most of the music made by a bulgarian born in Paris (:-)) ), played by a bulgarian orchestra, but it is tibetan music! So, if you saw the movie, you will want to have this original soundtrack, and if you buy the music, you will want to buy the movie too. Buy both, there is no price for what you will feel!
A lovely score that works well apart from the film.......2007-05-05
Together the two crafted something quite amazing, a Buddhist love story about a monk named Tashi, who leaves the order for Pema, a village girl with whom he settles down to raise a family, only to discover years later that perhaps he should have stayed in the monastery. Titled after the Buddhist word for the world in which we live, the world of the physical and the sensual, Samsara is the story of how we all struggle for enlightenment.
Filmed in India's northeastern Buddhist region of Ladak, the score features many of the sounds and instruments native to that region, including chanting, Tibetan bowls, bansuri, duduk, ney, and Mongolian and Tibetan violins woven into and accentuating the orchestral work, performed here by the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra. Morin's Samsara is one of those unique soundtracks that could exist on its own quite apart from the film for which it was written, a lovely score that rewards close listening, or which can be played unobtrusively in the background.

dudworldelectrohop.......2003-06-19
dont just pass this off as an electronic or techno album with a world feel, no theirs something different, every song has the lusciousness of a real band that actually listens and can flow all over and constantelly challenge new rythems not just in the album but to everysong piece by pierce. almost every song features Alan Kushan on the indian santuri box (like dulcimer), and fumio playing i thing all bass. Electric and acoustic guitar,tablas, vocals,flutes, and electronic beats fill the sound pool. Im framilliar with shehab and im sure he and eraldo bernocchi are responsible for some of the beats, some are straight electro some have a sampledtribal drum to make the actual kit, and some are electro samples. Maybe those other sounds are some of shehabs samples from his taptop. i hear faint acordian harmonium to complete the persian egyptian feel. But to sum up this record when they say world music they mean it, features every style of music around, all over the world, styles mixed sometimes up beat and down beat dub style, hypnotic with lots of persian egyptian, african, eastern feel. Features beated songs and instrumental with ambient songes. kinda sounds like tabla beat science but more like santuri beat science. a quote from the album linner notes
"ancient persian melodies fuse with pulsing rhythms of brooklyn and japan.Musical maps emerge from the great void.Vedic chants guide us to the shore.Tears are shed and laughter fills the air. a new beginning is apon us-rejoice!
fans of bill laswell, jah wobble, cap. kowotchi, eraldo bernocchi,Papa Newguinea translations, nagial site, sacred system,spectre, the eye, temple of sound, adrein sherwood,transonic,state of bengal, transglobal underground,asian groves, new school dub headers in general,qaballah steppers,talvin singh, let the future soak into us so we can breath new life. the future is hear are you listening?
