Groovy Classics.......2007-01-09

A great way to introduce the classics to the person who is too hip to listen to Mozart!

Remixed.......2006-06-01

Hmmmm....what can I say? Remixed is the 3rd album Bond has released, consisting of remixes of old favorites and several new tracks. For those of you who don't know, Bond is a rock string Quartet made up by 4 young women. Similar in style old Vanessa Mae.

The Album starts with an exciting opening, of Viva! (Orion Mix). This is made up from a remake of Antonio Vivaldi's Allegro from Winter (The Four Seasons). Its an enjoyable piece, very simple, but the drums and the occasional shouting of "VIVA!" makes it a great song.

The second track is a remix of one of Bond's more famous piece. Victory was a huge success, but the remix wasn't so in my opinion. The 'Sharp Boys Wild Strings Edit' was a strange one. It didn't contain much of the original. After a tedious drum beat and strange sounds for about 1 minute and 10 seconds, a short clip of strings come on the original melody. For the next minute more drums, then more repeating of the melody heard in the middle.

Third track was a remix of Wintersun. Wintersun (Bobby D'Ambrosio Mix) was basically the same, but a bit more of a disco style.

Again, with Speed (Crash Club Mix). Sam thing, but a lot more of the disco sounds. I actually found myself enjoying it more than the original! It really sounds like some one is...driving a car or something.

Fuego's remix (Caliete Mix) I also enjoyed more than the original. It has a longer introduction, and more music to back up the strings. It also has a very fast sita (sp?) solo in the middle, making it sound very Spanish!

Homecoming, Atlanta and Time are new tracks. Not my most favorites, but they are very calm, remind me of Asia. Except for Time which sort of gives you the feeling that all the clocks are moving at the same time. Bond also uses Clock sounds in the middle for effect.

Shine (Dubsharka Mix) is by FAR the best song on the album. Its a fantastic dance track, with a fantastic solo and playing in the song. Its a Bollywood styled song, making you think of India. I was a little disappointed however, since this song was released on their earlier album (Shine, 2002). Although I love it, they should have put the Indian Summer Mix on instead, which cant be found anywhere except on Atlanta/Time

Duel and Bond on Bond (Both 'Hectic Mixes') I just couldn't stand. They were absolutely ridiculous. Just having the tracks played twice as fast. If I wanted to do that, I could have gone into Media player and pressed Fast Forward x2.

The Last song is Jingle Bell Rock (Pussy Galore Mix). Its an interesting one, just jazzing up the original Jingle Bell Rock.

Overall, this album is great for something like a party, for its mainly disco music. Not the best Bond Album, but very good anyway.

However, If you are a big bond fan, I would suggest you get the Import (Includes 2 videos of Victory and Fuego) or the Japanese Edition (Includes and Extra mix of Viva!, original Jingle Bell Rock, Duel Indonesian Mix and Innocent)

Hope you enjoy this CD!

Exciting!.......2004-09-07

I got Bond's debut album a couple years ago.  Although not as exciting as Vanessa-Mae's album "Storm," it was better than Vanessa-Mae's debut crossover album "The Violin Player" and approximately equal to her third album, "Subject To Change."  The Bond debut had a lot of energy, but to me it was begging for a little stronger beat.

So when I found a Bond remix album late last summer, I grabbed it!  How cool can that be--a Bond remix album!  Whoo-hoo!!!

When I got it home and listened to it, I was a bit disappointed because it wasn't quite remixed enough.  I wanted the mixes to be hotter, and the bass and drums more pronounced.  But under-remixed is far preferable to over-remixed, which is a problem with Vanessa-Mae's song "Storm."  This is my favorite Vanessa-Mae song; the four-minute album length is not nearly long enough for me, so when I learned there was an 8-minute remix, I just had to have it!  I had to buy this Vanessa Mae CD single from a store in England (via Amazon's used CD vendors) since I could not find it stateside.  And I was very disappointed:  The remixer had so vastly remixed it that not only did it lose all its energy, it wasn't even recognizable!  So between over-remixing and under-remixing, I prefer under-remixing, thus I am happy enough with the remixes on this Bond album.  But they could have done better, I think.

Although I was a little disappointed that the mixes not being spruced up quite enough,  it does not mean I do not like this album.  Au contraire! I love this album! It is an album full of energy, life, vitality! It is an album that I nearly always play very LOUD! It as an album that I play when I'm wound up, feelin' good!!! Nearly every song is fast, and the beat never stops!

The album opens with "Viva!", a song that is also found on their DVD, which I bought around the same time I got this album. What a perfect song to start this album with! A sample of a group of females shouting 'VIVA!" plays from time to time throughout, adding to the energetic playing of the strings. On the DVD, this song is backed with video footage from their concert at the Royal Albert Hall in England; in the video, when the shouts "VIVA!" are heard, fireworks shoot out from the balconies and the stage at the theater--so exciting!

The next song is the remix of their first radio hit, "Victory," which starts out with a hot Latin beat and Spanish guitars. "Victory" and another track, "Fuego," feature frenetic string playing. The best song on the CD for dancing--and my second favorite song on the album--is "Duel." This has a driving bass line and percussion beat, an upfront electronic synthesizer riff, and a beautiful ethereal female nonverbal vocal accoutrement, with tubular bells even added toward the end. Spine-tingling! Wonderful!

Although "Duel" and my favorite song "Viva!" rule supreme in the degree of spine-tingling awesomeness, they're not the only ones to bring such a pleasurable reaction to me. "Wintersun" is played with deep heartfelt emotion; "Atlanta" also is full of emotion. I like "Speed" and "Time" because of their European technopop sound, especially "Time," which has a nice melodic, minor key electronic keyboard riff. "Shine" has a bit of a Spanish or Italian flair, another of many romantic flavors of this album.

There are only two songs on the album that I don't care for. One I absolutely don't like is "Jingle Bell Rock," but that's because I hate the song, not because I don't like their version of the song. If I am forced to listen to that song, I would likely choose their version. The other one I like okay, but it doesn't do for me what the rest of the songs on the album do: "Bond on Bond." This is a track of them doing the James Bond theme. A cool idea, and it works, but again, doesn't float my boat. Fortunately, these two songs are at the end of the album, so I can just end the album at the third to the last song, which is also my second favorite song, "Duel"!

Most of the DVD's music comes from their first album, while this remix CD has the best of their first two albums. I now have their third studio album, "Classified," which I like better than their first album (I don't have their second), but no surprise to me, this remix album of theirs is clearly my favorite. "Storm" by Vanessa Mae is my favorite secular album of all time, all genres combined, so naturally in the genre of classical crossover it is my favorite. Bond's "Remix" is my second favorite classical crossover album. It reaches down and touches the heartstrings of my musical soul and stirs them up to make a fabulous and emotional listening experience for me!

Remixed not recommended for "re-listening"........2004-07-27

Bond has impressed critics with their somewhat controversial performances of classical-crossovers. From using trance beats to the sounds of African drums... there is no limit to how much and what they can do to enhance classical music that they play.

With Bond Remixed however; it is quite a drag to put it simply. The album is a total re-mix album, so think of it as a compilation of single re-mixes put together. But also, there are three original tracks by Bond: Homecoming, Atlanta, and Time. All three of these tracks rely a lot on synth sounds and trance beats. Which get boring after listening to all these re-mixes, but keeping in mind that it is a RE-MIX album after all... so although the originality of Bond's previous albums: Born and Shine are not there, it is because they are re-mixed.

One of my personal favorite tracks is Viva [Orion Mix], which for those who have the Bond Live at Royal Albert Hall DVD all should know (For those who do not know, it is an extra video on the DVD, a live performance of Viva). Though I would have to say it takes repetition of classical music to its red line. Another great track to listen to is Jingle Bell Rock [Pussy Galore Mix]. Great example of good trance, combined with classical sounds. Bobby D'Ambrosio's mix of Winter, originally named Wintersun, is interesting enough by creating a new intro into the song. The rest of the song is shorter with a different beat.

The rest of the tracks seemed to use the original songs, but just add a different beat, more bass, and more synth. It puts the name of "re-mix" to a shame. Besides Speed [Crash Club Mix] which adds more excitement to the song as it is called Speed, the listener is better off listening to the originals. The prime example of horrible remixing is Duel [Hectic Mix] and Bond on Bond [Hectic Mix] (It's funny how both of these songs were badly mixed by the same person). In Duel, Hectic makes the song more faster-paced and adds a synth sound to the beat, which has a deeper bass. The song relatively stays the same. As goes the same for the Bond on Bond mix, where there is only a different, harder dance beat added to the original song. Also, Shine [Dubshakra Mix], doesn't even sound different. After listening carefully, you will notice the very subtle addition of more tambourines. But it sounds exactly the same; I listened back and forth from the "mix" to the original on the "Shine" album, and could not really tell.

If you want re-mixed Bond songs, this is terrible album to try to find some. Re-mixes are supposed to be a variation of the original song, almost as if the mix was a whole new song. But these "re-mixes" are sad to listen to. I am ashamed for whoever compiled this horrible playlist of tracks. Also, the original tracks by Bond are not what Bond is noted for, as if they were rushed to do these tracks.

A lot of artists do a "filler" album. Bond may have used a re-mix album to give themselves a year off, either for time off recording, or to make more time to record their 4th album, "Classified". Most likely it was to give the girls some well-deserved time off after releasing "Born" and "Shine".

Any fan of Bond will most likely find this album oddly dissatisfying, leaving a caustic taste in the mouth, and a penetrating headache. I would not recommend this album, unless you are a die-hard fan. But please, if you are a first-time listener to Bond, listen to "Born" or "Shine".

*There is two videos that can be played on your computer however; a video of Fuego and Victory, are fun to watch. But they are from their other albums, Victory from "Born" and Fuego from "Shine".

Good remixes.......2004-06-19

I generally stay away from remix albums simply because it's tough to improve on an original. However, I'm a huge fan of techno music and these remixes are heavier fixed with the sound of the dancefloor than the original tracks are. As you can tell by some of the reviews, some people love this, and some hate it. I think the ones that hated this CD are not fans of modern dance music and miss the whole point of dance CDs to begin with, so you can't judge anything by what they say.
This is a great dance CD, period. For the more consertive use of dance beats, see any of Bonds other releases, but this one is definately for the club fans out there. Another killer dance CD I want to suggest is Mr.Deviant's "Techno Obsession" which mixes power rock with killer dance beats to create some very original dance music. Both CDs are great!

King Black Acid - 'Womb Star Sessions' (Cavity Search).......2004-10-04

When I just recently came across this CD,I specially remember it sounding pretty 'out there'.To best describe this band from Portland,OR is most likely as 'inventive space rock'.Has four lengthy tracks in which each one serves it's purpose well.I always thought the ten-minute opener "The Wave" sounded like perhaps a Hawkwind record being played backwards in a haunted house.Turns out to be a group of chanting monks being sampled.Whew!Trippy.Was sort of also impressed with the fifteen-minute somewhat pop-like "Alone On Mars".I,personally believe that 'Womb...' is a great unheard of(by most) CD that many people will never get the chance to hear.Prove me wrong.Should appeal to fans of Flying Saucer Attack,Spacemen 3,The Verve,Amp and Mercury Rev.

Comes from someplace deep within..........2002-01-22

One Sunday night, in Portland, OR, a local public radio station broadcast KBA playing live in the studio. It was one of the most magical nights I've ever encountered. I remember sitting in the dark and being completely swept away by King Black Acid's incredible musical journey. I can still hear the host of the show saying: "Woooooooow... those are the powerful sounds of King Black Acid... and now you know why they're called King.... Black Acid." Everyone should have this CD in their collection simply for the reason that it is a time piece and a beautifully inspired work of art. Thank you KBA.

The greatest album no one's ever heard........1999-03-30

I've only seen one copy of this album, and it's the one I have. If I could find other copies, I would buy them all and hand them out to people. Its probably the only recording of the nineties that can be placed on the same pedestal as ABBEY ROAD, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, AND QUADROPHENIA. I am certain everyone would agree with that, but no one's heard it. If I had to recommend one album to the entire world, this would be it.

frank black is always great.......2003-03-18

it should seem odd that i'm just now getting around to purchasing this cd. i've been a fan of frank black for almost two years now (i could kick myself for not discovering him, and the pixies, sooner..., but teenage fanclub were never really my cup of tea. i did, however, recently fork over the money for this decidedly excellent, albiet very short (less than fifteen minutes) disc.

all four songs here are very solid, particularly "the jaques tati", which in my opinion is one of the best pure rock songs frank black has ever penned (and, believe me, that's saying something.)

even though the price almost guarantees this album is only heard by fans of black or TFC, i could earnestly recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in good, uniquely intelligent music.

Black and the Fannies crank up the amps.......2002-12-20

This is an excellent little EP. You wouldn't think that Frank Black's melancholy howl would make an ideal counterpart to Teenage Fanclub's feelgood melodies. However, on this set, which comprises two fantastic Black-penned numbers ("The Man Who Was Too Loud" and "Jacques Tati") and two well chosen covers, the Glaswegians show that they can rock with the best of 'em, even the King of Alternative Rock himself.

The Fannies provide a coruscating backing throughout, not without their melodic genius, (check out the fabulous outro to "Jacques Tati" and the intro to "Sister Isabel"), while Black's off-kilter genius shines throughout. Go buy.

FRANKLY disappointing.......2002-12-17

Teenage Fanclub are just about my favourite band and I really like some of The Pixies back catalogue BUT this session is one big mistake. Frank Black's tunes are devoid of melody and/ or warmth and humanity. If you want to hear a great Teenage Fanclub collaboration go for excellent Teenage Fanclub with Jad Fair team up Words of Wisdom and Hope and forget about this blotch on an other wise pretty much flawless release history from TFC.

One of the best Mini albums.......1999-02-08

One of Frank's very best. This has four songs, two original and two covers. Handyman is just great "come on come on come on " Frank shouts, and you do. The Man Who was Too Loud is also Great, but It was better done in 'FB& The Catholics". the Jaquis Tasti is one of Frabk's best songs, and in 'sister Isabel' both Frank and the Teenage Fanclub are at their very best

The famous at Work.......2006-03-24

This is a rare opportunity to hear hugely famous influencers and entertainers of mid 20th Century music actually doing the real work: the kind of stuff that goes on behind the scenes for more hours in their lives than anything else, including sleeping! What we usually see as paying customers is the resultant performance, but this window into the atmosphere of a jam session must be heard. Any instrumentalist who improvises, from whatever genre, and whether they are amateur or professional, will feel right at home with this. They'll be hugely gratified to feel how the special indescribable pleasure and dynamics of jam session is just the same for improvisers the world over regardless of time or greatness. And for everyone - how would you like to go and hang out for an afternoon with Nat King Cole (age 26) and Buddy Rich (age 27). Well You Can ! - "and they'll be just crazy about ya"

A curiousity, but not vital to casual jazz fans..........2003-05-18

This is a complete record of a session involving five players in the summer of 1945. Since two of the musicians were Nat King Cole and drummer Buddy Rich, the tracks have interest beyond the era in which they were made. No Cole vocals here...just some cool piano playing, and I must say the other three artists are also good. However, unless one is a jazz fanatic or a Cole/Rich "completist" the disc isn't a prize item. The false starts are irritating and add nothing to listening pleasure. FOUR versions in a row of a tune called "Black Market Stuff" seemed two too many for my taste. There are then THREE versions of "Laguna Leap", two of "I'll Never Be the Same" and two more of "Swingin' on Central." The CD concludes with a nearly seven-minute number called "Kicks." This session came as "Swing" was giving way to "Bebop" so it offers a pre-war and a post-war flavor. Nat Cole and Buddy Rich deserve their fame, but "Anatomy of a Jam Session" is more gimmick than glamour in today's market.

Authentic 1945 All-star Jam Session.......2000-06-21

There are so many things to love about this recording. First is the history. This is the infamous "secret" recording session that almost got Buddy Rich fired from Tommy Dorsey's band because it violated Tommy's recording contract. Certainly not the first or last boss that Buddy would cause to reconsider his employment (this incident is well documented in Mel Torme's bio of Rich). Second is the all-star cast. Nat Cole, who is so often overlooked as a pure jazz pianist in favor of his later fame as a crooner, Buddy Rich; the world's greatest drummer in both a small group and big band setting, and Charlie Shavers, an often underrated swing trumpeter plus Herbie Haymer doing a lot to sound like Chu Berry and John Simmons on bass. And then there's the recording itself full of false starts, alternative takes, dialog between the players and great small swing ensemble performances throughout. Buy it for the history or buy it for the music...but just buy it.

The famous at Work.......2006-03-24

This is a rare opportunity to hear hugely famous influencers and entertainers of mid 20th Century music actually doing the real work: the kind of stuff that goes on behind the scenes for more hours in their lives than anything else, including sleeping! What we usually see as paying customers is the resultant performance, but this window into the atmosphere of a jam session must be heard. Any instrumentalist who improvises, from whatever genre, and whether they are amateur or professional, will feel right at home with this. They'll be hugely gratified to feel how the special indescribable pleasure and dynamics of jam session is just the same for improvisers the world over regardless of time or greatness. And for everyone - how would you like to go and hang out for an afternoon with Nat King Cole (age 26) and Buddy Rich (age 27). Well You Can ! - "and they'll be just crazy about ya"

A curiousity, but not vital to casual jazz fans..........2003-05-18

This is a complete record of a session involving five players in the summer of 1945. Since two of the musicians were Nat King Cole and drummer Buddy Rich, the tracks have interest beyond the era in which they were made. No Cole vocals here...just some cool piano playing, and I must say the other three artists are also good. However, unless one is a jazz fanatic or a Cole/Rich "completist" the disc isn't a prize item. The false starts are irritating and add nothing to listening pleasure. FOUR versions in a row of a tune called "Black Market Stuff" seemed two too many for my taste. There are then THREE versions of "Laguna Leap", two of "I'll Never Be the Same" and two more of "Swingin' on Central." The CD concludes with a nearly seven-minute number called "Kicks." This session came as "Swing" was giving way to "Bebop" so it offers a pre-war and a post-war flavor. Nat Cole and Buddy Rich deserve their fame, but "Anatomy of a Jam Session" is more gimmick than glamour in today's market.

Authentic 1945 All-star Jam Session.......2000-06-21

There are so many things to love about this recording. First is the history. This is the infamous "secret" recording session that almost got Buddy Rich fired from Tommy Dorsey's band because it violated Tommy's recording contract. Certainly not the first or last boss that Buddy would cause to reconsider his employment (this incident is well documented in Mel Torme's bio of Rich). Second is the all-star cast. Nat Cole, who is so often overlooked as a pure jazz pianist in favor of his later fame as a crooner, Buddy Rich; the world's greatest drummer in both a small group and big band setting, and Charlie Shavers, an often underrated swing trumpeter plus Herbie Haymer doing a lot to sound like Chu Berry and John Simmons on bass. And then there's the recording itself full of false starts, alternative takes, dialog between the players and great small swing ensemble performances throughout. Buy it for the history or buy it for the music...but just buy it.
