Why would u rate a sampler cd more than 3 stars? .......2004-08-14

I bought this CD mainly for the two Murcof tracks. Buy 'Martes' by the same artist (Fernando Corona) if you want to add a really classy album to your electronica collection.

This 18 track sampler is quite a little gem really, as there's lots of quirky electronica and a bit of indie chillout stuff (not really my style, but OK for 'padding'). The two Icarus tracks are in a similar vein to the Murcof style, if a little more edgy. Both artists combine glitchy electronica with more 'classical' analogue sounds. Both are excellent and engaging.

Other hidden jewels are the bizarre little Asa-Chang and Junray track 'Parlor' and the stunning 'Ritournelle' by Colleen - a minimalist chillout foray into the warmth of swelling sound. Rob Ellis' 'Four pictures with Debussy' and A Small Good Thing's 'Owl in a Box' are also worth continued listening.

Not bad for 5 and a 1/2 bucks, although it can be found for less than 5 elsewhere.

In a genre known for its piercing, mournful wails and its breakneck pace, Larry Sparks has long taken his own minimalist path. Sparks remains one of the most remarkable singers in bluegrass, one who is able to convey great emotion in a relatively understated fashion. There is a disarming richness, depth, and poignancy to his voice--he doesn't need sheer force or dramatic range to make his point. His vigorous lead guitar picking works in similar ways, where speed and dexterity are not as crucial as conviction and taste. Fronting a quartet that features banjo, mandolin, and bass, Sparks adds to his considerable legacy with these 12 stellar recordings, which are graced with sublime three-part vocal harmonies, tight ensemble playing, and an endearing warmth. You may find a more energetic or hair-raising bluegrass record, but you'll be hard pressed to find a more beautiful one. --Marc Greilsamer

music of the true vine.......2001-02-07

Larry Sparks is one of the undersung heroes of American music. His early recordings showed him to be among the most gifted carriers of the deep-bluegrass Stanley tradition, but over the years he has fashioned his own distinctive but rooted style. His taste in songs is impeccable. Special Delivery owes a debt to the immortal music the Carter Family created, though (except for the beautiful, melancholic "Richmond County," which could pass for a Carter ballad) this is hardly an imitation or a recreation. Like the Carters, however, Sparks strips a song to its emotional core and addresses, simply yet profoundly, the feelings and experiences of a place -- the Southern mountains -- that turns out to be everywhere human beings live and die. To paraphrase the old spiritual, this is the music of the true vine.

Mr. Sparks is one of the few and one of the best........2000-11-03

Having seen Larry Sparks over the years with The Stanley Brothers until today I can say that he is one of the best singers of a Bluegass song. Kind of lonesome, Kind of blue. Feelings run deep in his songs and the listener is the one who is totally moved by the experience. All of his work is an art in the true traditional sound of Bluegrass Music. Enjoy.

A gem from a bygone era!.......2007-03-15

As far as I can research the orchestra as formed in 1978 by Mr. Anthony Godwin, bass clarinettist with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. He had inherited a complete library of theatre music dating from 1880 to 1930 and it's from this that their repetoire is mainly drawn. They try and re-create the sound and atmostphere of those early days by using instruments of that era. For instance on the song "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" the soprano Linda Murray is accompanied by David Norton on the musical saw.

A most excellent CD recreating the 20' and 30's Golden Age. Highly recommended!

"4-6 weeks to acquire"....and worth the wait!!!.......2006-03-02

A recent release and at the time of this review, the cd is apparently not harbored in U.S. warehouses. Call need go out to Japan to ship. Who would ever think the rare 2nd "Special Delivery" (Terry Huff-less) album, would see cd reissue daylight? Until now, music from the 1978 lp could only be accessed on vinyl. The writer briefly mentioned this rare lp in the review of "Special Delivery - feat. Terry Huff", the 1st of three "Special Delivery" album releases. Once again (and so many times seems the case) a Japanese music company has had the wherewithal to get this lp to cd and worldwide access. Seems the import music companies have the "reissue stoves burnin' hot"! Sweet soul record collectors have long known and sought the ballad "Oh, Let Me Know It" by the group, the single and/or this album. Along with the chased ballad "Your Song Is My Love Song", and other mid-tempo grooves, import acqusition cost for the cd is quite reasonable, when compared to pursuing the option of vinyl acquistion. Mid-70s harmony and smooth style, courtesy the D.C. area. The writer's marching call to himself when first appeared, "It's buy time"!

Praise for "Special Delivery".......1998-07-23

This is a deluxe album with everything a jazz lover could desire. With ear-teasing arrangements and limb-shaking solos, "Special Delivery" is one that surely cannot be overlooked. Maynard Ferguson, Hilton Ruiz and other masters of the trade are at their very best here. Both "On Green Dolphin Street" and "Autumn in Rome" are gems. Two thumbs up! Five Stars! Ten trumpets!
