It doesn't happen much, but there are times when the departure of a group's most prominent player inspires the rest of the act to get seriously bizzy. Strength & Love, a tight disc that skitters from track to shiny track with imagination and a renewed sense of rap's widened boundaries, makes Bone Thugs-N-Harmony a prime example. Without Bizzy Bone to layer a drizzle of Midwestern vocal weirdness over their sound, Layzie, Krayzie, and Wish Bone call in a crew of hard-hitting helpers: Akon delivers twice, first on the melting "I Tried" and again on the weepy "Never Forget Me," Mariah Carey flits through "Lil Love" alongside Bow Wow, and Twista and Yolanda Adams also make reputation-enhancing appearances (Twista by barreling through "C-Town" at breakneck speed and Adams by giving it up gorgeously for God on "Order My Steps (Dear Lord)"). Best of all about this proud-making comeback disc is its clever use of samples: "Wind Blow" pins the Fleetwood Mac chestnut "The Chain" down to urban pavement without wrecking its spirit, and the smartly produced "The Streets" updates the vibe of Bobby Womack's timeless "Across 110th Street" while preserving its grit-covered class. --Tammy La Gorce

This is not a come back........2007-08-06

I have listened to Bone Thugs back in the days from their first album "Faces of Death". In comparison to their older albums (their first five albums) this album "Stenght & Loyalty" cannot compete. There is a lot of R&B incorporated which is not what most RAP/Hip-Hop listeners are looking for; R&B that is not top of the chart worthy (with the exception of "Lil' Love). Bone Thugs don't need to drop the R&B, but they need to start making more RAP/Hip-Hop style melodies/beats. I am sorry to say, in exception to a few songs on this album this album is a disappointment just like their other albums after "BTNH Resurrection".

Every track on this cd is good ive been a bonethugz fan ever since i could listen to music i grew up with most of there music so i was excited when i found out they where comin out with a new cd if you like bone thugs at all you should get this.

This track & "I Tried" are two of the best tracks I've heard from anyone in years.
I would compare them to DMX & 2Pac.
Keep up the great work guys.

I was a bit disapointed because there are only two or three songs on the CD that I play. I guess my expectations were too high and too reminiscent of their old stuff. My son plays it non stop, hence the reason 3 stars!

This recording was produced more than 40 years ago, only in mono, but from the day it was released it was a deserved phenomenon. It out-grossed the mega-hit show for months, and it still holds the record for the most weeks as a Billboard Top 40 album: 292. The reasons are many. Start with the 20-year-old Julie Andrews in peak voice, singing no fewer than eight sensational Lerner and Loewe songs, soaring most memorably to high C in "I Could Have Danced All Night." Rex Harrison perfected the art of talk-singing in a clutch of equally captivating numbers written especially for his voice, of which the most indelibly delivered is "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face." And Stanley Holloway brought the best English music-hall style to an eager American audience with "A Little Bit of Luck" and "Get Me to the Church on Time." There were no scene-changers in Frederick Loewe's best score, and Alan Jay Lerner managed to fashion his libretto and lyrics so close to the language of George Bernard Shaw (on whose play Pygmalion the musical was based) that experts couldn't tell where Shaw left off and Lerner took over. Every song created character and advanced the plot. My Fair Lady was a show you "got"--and still get--on first listening--without having seen it. The London cast album (with the same leads) can give you stereo; the movie version, a fuller orchestra, Harrison and Holloway in full sail, and Marni Nixon dubbing Audrey Hepburn. But the Broadway cast album is still the one to have, and the one absolute must in any musical collector's CD library. --Robert Windeler

a flawless recording.......2007-07-29

in terms of musicals, some are beyond famous. along with The Sound of Music, West Side Story, Singin' in the Rain, Oklahom and The King and I ranks My Fair Lady. the story of eliza doolittle and henry higgens is beyond being a classic, its a legend. but why? and does it deserve such recognition?

for proof that My Fair Lady deserves all of its fame look no further than this cast album. this is a true gem of musical theater and every cast recording should be done this well.

SONGS
the music is great. its strength is in subtlety. the background orchestral pieces are all soft and the strength is placed on the performers, which works great. a lot of the strength here goes to the witty lyrics of "why can't the english" and "i'm an ordinary man" (basically rex harrison's pieces!) or the soft crooning lyrics of "I Could've Danced All Night" and "On the Street Where You Live." the songs are fresh, original and pretty well done here.

SONGS 5 out of 5

PERFORMERS
a lot of credit falls on the steller cast here since most of the focus is on them. harrison is wonderfully and witty as henry higgens. julie andrews is, well, perfect as eliza. she is the greatest eliza ever. her vocals are all brilliantly done. the rest of the cast succeds in bringing humor or romance to the show wherever it is required. this is a top-notch cast the easilly outdoes the 1964 movie. if for no other reason than the sheer energy that is captured here.

PERFORMERS 5 out of 5

most broadway fans should own this just because it's My Fair Lady, but beyond that, this is a great show and this album captures all that brilliance perfectly. if you need just one recording, THIS IS THE ONE!!!

Excellent Sound Track.......2007-06-27

I found My Fair Lady full of beautiful arrangements and excellent vocals. Can't get better then the sound of Julie Andrews!!!! Although Julie did not get the movie roll this makes me appreciate the movie even more.

Great gift!.......2007-06-01

Bought this as a gift for a friend.Received it quickly and she was delighted.

Good, but not for the Family.......2007-05-29

I initially really enjoyed the movie my fair lady and wanted a sound track so I could continue to enjoy the music. However, upon recieving the cd, I was especially disappointed with one aspect - the language. I knew Professor Higgins and others had used profanity on the film, and was ok with it. You hear it once and move on. However, I don't want a cd playing around my family that my kids are learning to dance, sing, and act out a song that has rather obvious swear words. After 1 listen I picked out at least three instances of swearing, the worst being I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face (my otherwise favorite song!) The song starts out d--n, d--n, d--n! It's shouted.

fantastic.............2007-05-16

MY FAIR LADY, one of the most well-loved and beautifully made musicals, was a definitive vehicle for the career of (then) twenty year old Julie Andrews, as the "loverly" Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle. Between Andrews' soaring soprano (which is especially poignant to hear, today, considering that she can no longer sing as she once did) and the great supporting cast, lead by Rex Harrison, as Dr. Henry Higgins, the bored professor who takes her under his wing as a special project to mold into a dignified lady, this is a five star show!

The story was actually based on PYGMALION, by the late, great playwright, George Bernard Shaw, inspired by Greek mythology. In the original Greek play, Pygmalion is the sculptor who creates a depiction of a woman, out of ivory, and falls in love with it. He prays to Venus, and then his sculpture is brought to life, as Galatea. In the musical, the gist is similar but the journey and characters veer from this concept considerably. For starters, no one starts out as a piece of stone--especially not Eliza Doolittle. She has definite opinions and a distinctive personality (saucy language and all), that Dr. Doolittle is very keen on shaping up for society. The music is perfectly in synch with the mood of this great play, which is in some ways a true parable about human behavior and the treatment of women in society. Some of the most beautiful music by Lerner and Loewe is featured here. The songs include "Wouldn't It Be Loverly," "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face," and "Get Me to the Church On Time." This is brilliant. Buy this today! I am not sure how great the sound quality is on audio cassette, in comparison to the original recording on vinyl that I heard, as a little girl. I have a feeling it's pretty spectacular though!

Fans of the celestial sounds of Enya and the lush trip-hop beats of Delerium and Enigma will love Balligomingo. Contrary to its Eastern-sounding name, Balligomingo is the baby of one Garrett Schwartz, a keyboardist-programmer who collaborated with a variety of musicians for Beneath The Surface. Though purely a U.S. and Canadian affair, the music does create an ethereal air of mystery and tension not unlike that of Asian underground pioneer Nitin Sawhney's recent Prophesy (though Balligomingo is far less profound). The buoyant, atmospheric tracks of Surface include various female vocalists who extend the songs' allure, a live band treated to sound like sweet computer rhythms, and a 15-piece orchestra. Most of the songs flow together, sustaining the album's dream sequence mood like a long summer rain. Occasionally, the vocals border on teen-pop, but mostly they blend into the foreground, helping to advance Balligomingo's lush world-beat-and-tone poetry muse. --Ken Micallef

One of my favorites.......2007-06-14

I've got 100+ CD's of electronic music of different styles/genres, and Beneath the Surface is one of the short list I keep going back to. Stands out in the crowded field of music it's representing.

Quintessential Ethereal.......2006-11-14

Every song features synthesizer and female vocals (I believe there are seven different vocalists featured across the 11 tracks, including Kristy Thirsk of Delerium fame). That is not to say that the songs all sound the same - the varieties in vocalists and moods are quite sufficient to maintain the listener's interest. "Falling" and "Marooned" stand out as the highlights of the album.

Though the official press Beneath the Surface calls it "a lush soundscape of electronic, acoustic, orchestral and world beat textures," I feel that the acoustic and world beat components are rather lacking. Synthesizers are very dominant throughout, with a good bit of orchestral support. The one track that does break the mold is "Marooned," which features some nice acoustic guitar.

Beneath the Surface sounds very similar to Delerium's work, with more consistent verse-chorus song structure, and no instrumental tracks. This is unsurprising considering that Bill Leeb (half of Delerium's Leeb and Fulber) had a hand in Balligomingo's creation. Despite its somewhat formulaic composition, Beneath the Surface is quite engaging, and contains some very moving songs. I strongly recommend it if you are fond of electronica, or are looking for someting in the vein of Delerium's female-fronted pop songs like "Silence."

Worth Every Penny!.......2006-11-02

I am really happy about my purchase of Balligomingo's Beneath the Surface. I like everything about it. I don't skip a single track. Each track has something to offer. The female vocals are amazing. They accompany the synths and other electronic sounds in a silky smooth compatible way. Audiophiles will love this album too as the tracks can show off a good sound system or great headphones. Personally, I like to listen with headphones so I can hear all of the nuances and layering contained within Beneath the Surface. If you like this album you may also like Amethystium, Mythos, Blue Stone, Delerium, and Sleepthief. I recommend them highly.

Absolutely gorgeous.......2006-09-05

After four years since its release, "Beneath the Surface" has remained one of my favorite cds of all time. The cd is absolutely stunning with its blend of pop, new age,ambient, and trance music. The ethereal female vocals are equally gorgeous. The music reminds me of Enigma, Delerium, Conjure One, and Sleepthief. The music is totally soothing to listen to with its lush electronic beats. It is hard to pick a favorite song off the album. All of the songs on "Beneath the Surface" are wonderful. The last I have heard is that Balligomingo is currently working on a follow up album. I hope I don't have to wait until next year to hear the music.

Customer Reviews:

Best remix collection I've heard.......2007-05-18

Simply put, this collection of remixes, and a few artfully selected covers, is the highest quality collection of its kind I've heard.

Most remix collections seem to have a few good tracks among a bunch of tracks that aren't worth listening to more than once. This two-disc set is the exception to that rule; nearly every song included is tasty aural bliss.

I would have expected Collide's layered organic and electronic sound to be hard to do justice while taking in new directions for remixing, but each of these artists have succeeded, often spectacularly so. Only one track is difficult for me to enjoy: Somewhere/Orchestral Mix; I find it an interesting attempt but it's not for me. The rest range from very enjoyable to music I might never want to take out of my CD player.

Get this album for The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum (see also the DVD Like the Hunted), and enjoy the rest of the sweet and sultry gems from Slither Thing/Amish Rake Fight Mix to the delightfully sad Crushed/Out of Control Mix, plus plenty more.

To Collide fans, even those skeptical of remixes, this is a must-own. To those not yet a fan of Collide, you might start with Some Kind of Strange or Chasing the Ghost and then pick this up - though I'm not sure it matters, and this would still make a great listen without any prior knowledge of Collide.

Amazingly Brilliant!!! .......2007-04-12

Collide must be one of the greatest bands ever to hit the gothic scene. The combination of Karin and Statik are explosive; indeed, Vortex is definitely their masterpiece of Remixes done right! As well as new songs that will demand your attention, highly note worthy!! Some of the best out there!

Listen to the samples on this site just so you can say "Yeah, I'm a smart consumer." If you like any combination of Collide, you're gonna end up buying Vortex, it is most certainly a treat for the ears and the imagination.

Get lost in the Vortex.......2006-10-10

I really liked this album, while some of the songs are remixed more than once they're still able to keep a semblance of uniqueness. Then there are the little gems added to the mix "The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum" and "Feed Me to the Lions" are really fun songs that quickly moved their way into my top 10 lists.

These two disks hold a variety of moods from the frantic to the meditative, there is a remix for almost all occasions and then some. If you're just starting out with your Collide obsession this is a great album to showcase their diversity and complexity; and if you're deep into your Collide wall to wall shrine then this album is hard to beat and will surely earn a coveted spot on your shrine to Collide.

What an awesome find!.......2006-08-20

You will all think I'm crazy, but I was looking for new music one day at work, came across Collide because it was "similar" to other music I like, and bought it without even hearing it! I wasn't somewhere that I could listen to the samples, so I trusted other user reviews, and couldn't be more pleased. This CD has become a staple in my collection, and frankly, hasn't left my CD changer yet! My boyfriend even added it to his iPod. My personal favorite is "The Lunatics...", don't ask me why. I always play it on my way to the gym...and sometimes before work...perhaps it's something Freudian. :)

I absolutely adore Collide, and plan to try out their other CDs. It's amazing the feeling the music gives you. It's very ethereal, and makes you feel like you're somewhere else. Definitely a great buy, even if you're not into this type of music.

Others I would recommend in this genre are Claire Voyant (Time and the Maiden), Delerium (Karma), Hungry Lucy (To Kill a King), and Lamb (any of them, especially Lamb and Fear of Fours).

remixed to perfection.......2006-07-06

before picking up this two-disc package, i was not familiar with the works of Collide. i bought this item on a whim, and am very glad i did. the variety of style approach is refreshing, you really don't hear the same song twice, though there are a few mixes of a few songs. these are good cds to put in on a trip or chill at the house, and i've had the album for a few weeks now and am not tired of it. enjoy the haunting effects of a great band rearranged by great artistic minds.

From pop duo to pop princess.......2007-07-23

I'm not a fan of M2M during their finest days but when I heard one of their favorite tune last year (Pretty Boy) makes me wonder where they are now, quick searching I found out this album (along with Marion....)

When I download it, I surprised, how much she has changed, still a cute and shy person I know but she has matured, musically and lyrically. It's like out of this world, I never imagined that she can develop such deep, meaningful lyrics, with great music. She mixed up happy song in a very sad lyrics in Under The Surface and all I can say is its a success! My personal favorite is Solid Ground and Poison Passion. I just love turning up the volume all the way up just to listen to her voice and the music, its an event!

I thought download her song doesn't contribute anything to her and the quality is of course poor (I'm an audiophile, nothing but lossless coming out of my speaker) so I buy her album for the quality and to support her

Too bad some of her song playing live don't make it to this album, but that's her decision. I would love to see Walls right after Poison Passion but you can't have everything. But like Yoda say, 5 star this one deserves :)

Wow, this album has completely surprised me........2007-01-10

I really didnt know what to expect when I got this album, but after a few listens there is only one conclusion I can make.... Marit Larsen has arrived, and she has what so many lack in this business..REAL TALENT. She IS the real deal.

Her songwriting is amazing. This album does not conform to any one standard out there, I truly believe she wrote this for herself and not under some preconveived notion of what the masses would like. I thank her for this because this is the best album I have heard in at least 10 years. In staying true to herself she has created something very special, a truly rare gem. Every song is different in it's own right and they will all surprise you in the directions they take. The lyrics are heartfelt, the music is at times so beautiful that you feel tears starting to form and Marit's voice is very very unique. Some of the music is even quite theatrical and playful, you can really hear how happy Marit is on this record. This feeling transfers directly over to the listener, I cannot help but smile when I listen to this album.

Give Under the Surface a try, you will not be dissapointed.

a hidden masterpiece.......2007-01-05

If you're tired of the droning and bland sounds from the radio, then you've probably come to the right place.

The former blonde half of the Norweigen pop sensation M2M, Marit larsen has come a long way to produce a work that's nothing short of a masterpiece in the folk-pop genre (although that can barely describe the diversity and originality of the album).

Although revolving around the usual themes of relationships, romance, love, and love lost, she approaches it with honest lyrics and with the band, quirky and melodic instrumentals, making the common sound so refreshingly new.

As some have mentioned, I rarely find myself skipping through songs as the album works so well in its entirety, with each track naturally progressing to the next.

However, I can say that this album is not for everyone. It has a very predominant folk direction, with the pop elements playing a supporting role. This can probably explain why 'Don't Save Me' and 'Under The Surface' are the radio hits in Norway, them being the more conventional pop-rock/ballad arrangements in the album (the other in my opinion being 'Solid Ground').

Marit's sound is very organic, having very little synthesized sounds or use of anything electronic (other than a little use of vocal effects for some of the tracks, notably 'Poison Passion'). But what really gives the album such a different dimension is the liberal use of various bluegrass instruments such as the; banjo, mandolin, harmonica and many other acoustic-based instruments.

So if you're one who finds it hard to appreciate the not so conventional, I would give the album a skip, although you may still enjoy 'Under The Surface', 'Solid Ground' and 'Don't Save Me'. But for those wanting to try something new and refershing, and missed hearing music that is simple and honest, you won't go wrong with Under The Surface.

Favourite Tracks:

'This Time Tomorrow' (Really love the instrumentals in this track, fun and edgy, although the lyrics are about a girl and her rather paranoid behavoiur towards her boyfriend. Somehow the contrast works really well.)

'The Sinking Game' (Second best example next to 'Only a Fool' that exemplifies the unique folk aspect of the album. Great instrumentals on this one too, a nice fusion of jazz, folk and pop.)

'Come Closer' (With that distinctive Banjo riff in the beginning to the wonderfully arranged chorus, this track brings you along a rollercoaster ride of emotions through the arrangment. Also one of Marit's stronger vocal performances in the album. A great union of folk and pop-rock elements.)

Marion who?.......2006-12-10

Larsen first caught my attention when I saw M2M open up for Jewel in Washington D.C. I Didn't care much for the duo but it was obvious which one was the true talent. Marit has gone on to become the real deal and made some excellent music on this recording. Unfortunately, the other half of M2M, Marion Raven, has apparently flipped her lid.
I gotta agree that Marit is a much better solo artist with awseome style. The direction she has taken with this album is both unique an extremely entertaining. It tends to be a perfect blend of pop and folk with a Leigh Nash (Sixpence None the Richer) feel to it, only better. Well worth the extra few bucks I had to spend on an import cd! If she continues in this style, she'll have a long term fan here! I couldn't recomend this album any higher!

Marit Larsen - A LOT lies "Under the Surface".......2006-12-01

An amalgamation of all things musically beautiful, Marit Larsen's debut album "Under the Surface" is the most refreshing 38 minutes of music I've ever listened to, and the polar opposite of Marion Raven's "Here I am". After hearing how incredibly different their styles are, I can't help believing that the break-up of M2M was better for both of them. Marit has proven that her rightful place is in the spotlight every bit as much as Marion was, which is why to this day I'll never understand why she took a back seat to Marion in M2M. I honestly find her to be a musical genius.

1-part Dixie Chicks, 1-part Norah Jones, 1-part Broadway Musical or old-school Disney soundtrack, and all-parts awesome is the label I'd try to place on her style, but in all honesty, I feel like categorizing it in the way of "trying to label what it sounds like" really downplays how truly original it is.

Let me first say that if you really love American pop radio, you will not enjoy this album half as much as the rest of us who are sick of society's constant barrage of booty-shaking, lyrically-retarded muck that plays on the American-mainstream radio. This album is for the more sophisticated and mature music lover. I'd definitely point you in the direction of Marion's album if you're looking for something that's radio-friendly because Marit's is definitely not. That's part of what makes me love it so much. It employs the use of so many different kinds of non-radio-friendly instruments, (banjo, mandolin, cello, viola, xylophone) it's almost as if she was deliberately trying to not be radio-friendly.

1. In Came the Light. the album's opening introductory track is simple, beautiful, soft, and deceptively short before the first real song begins. I liken this track to the opening credits just before a movie begins. 8/10 track begins.

2. Under the Surface. the immediate thought I had as this track began was "this sounds like something out of a classical Disney movie." Marit's voice at the start of this track is already a testament as to how much she's grown as a vocalist and songwriter. I absolutely love the strings they use on this song, and the piano that accompanies it is already more complex and beautiful than anything on Marion's album. I also like how the melody is so complex it seems as though there are several key changes when in fact there are not any or at least not between the three choruses. The subject of the song is this: Marit is paranoid about her new boyfriend, believing that there may still be some kind of special love he has for his ex and she wants him to have the same love for her (or moreso) than he did for his ex. 9/10

3. Don't Save Me. I suppose if she had ONE single on this album that could be considered radio-friendly, it would be this one. With that said, I actually really enjoy this song. It kind of reminds me of Sixpence None the Richer (The group that did "Kiss Me" and "There She Goes"), although I don't think they used piano. I love the hand-claps used throughout as well. This would have been a great radio single in the 90's. One thing I've noticed a lot with this album, is that you can practically hear Marit smiling and you can just tell that she is enjoying her newfound freedom being able to record what and how she wants. It's so great to hear an artist that is clearly enjoying themselves in the studio. 9/10

4. Only a Fool. The opening harmonica and banjo (or mandolin) make it clear that this album is going to have all different kind of musical flavorings. I started to love this song when she starts to harmonize with herself. This song was the first that I felt had Dixie Chicks influences. One thing that should also be noted about this song is the use of the cartoony slide-whistle for absolutely no reason. I love it. It's just thrown in too make the song more fun and light and thusly making it even less radio-friendly. The subject of this song is that a guy is wishing for Marit to take him back but she's recounting all the things that went wrong and has come to the conclusion that "only a fool" would do that again. 9/10

5. Solid Ground. I really like the piano used in this song as well, but overall I'd say the melody to this song was the most basic and boring of all the tracks. Wellmaybe the last track is worse. The message in this song is great and honestly I wonder if it is about her frustrations with being a part of a huge-corporate music recording company and "keeping her head above it all" during her time there. "They will always pull you down. Before you know it they will take your smile and push you around. They will fight and struggle, blur and trouble your sense of solid ground." It sounds to me like Marit felt as though she was never able to find her footing in the American music market and didn't like the person she was becoming as a result. That's just my interpretation. Anyway, the song is beautiful and simple but has a profound message in it as well. 8/10

6. This Time Tomorrow. This song immediately reminded me of an Irish dance "jig" or something like that. It seemed instrumentally like something that people would dance around to at a pub or something. Such sad lyrics though. This song is about a girl who is so paranoid in her relationships and has such low self-esteem that she believes no matter what a guy says to her and does for her, he's only going to break her heart in the end. In fact, she seems to search for things that he's doing wrong so she can accuse him of it and end the relationship herself. I wonder what inspired this? Perhaps Marion? I don't know. Anywaylike I saidmelodically it's a lot of fun.

9/10

7. Recent Illusion. I can't remember the last time I heard a xylophone in a song. This song also has a completely different feel from the others. I love how it opens with the cello and xylophone. But the BEST part of this song in my mind is Marit's "chicka-ch" she does after the choruses. Just more fun and random sound-effects thrown in to make the record more "her". Her vocals seem a little too weak on this song for some reason. Perhaps she wanted it that way. She seems raspy, or breathy or something. Simple and short at only two minutes and six seconds so I'm not gonna go into a long drawn out review of it. 7/10

8. The Sinking Game. I think this song is my favorite on the album. It reminded me of a song from a video game I used to own called Conker's Bad Fur Day. I just compared them and they're both in the same key so that probably has something to do with it. I love how relaxed and just plain fun it is. There are so many random sound effects used and stuff that I just can't help but love it. I'd absolutely love to see this one performed live to see all the things they used to make sound effects (if they weren't synthesized) I'll be honestI'm so caught up in the music of this song that I don't have a clue what the lyrics are about. I noticed something about diving into disease which sounds screwy at best. The melody and attitude of the song are just so catchy and fun it's like it doesn't really matter what the lyrics are about in my mind. 9/10

9. To an End. when this song first starts out it sounds like it might be a pretty sad one, but as it continues on, it starts to sound like a romantic song. I liken it to something you'd hear while riding in one of those boats through Venice sitting with your sweetheart or something. Actually, the first thing I thought of when I heard it was Lady and the Tramp in the scene where they're eating spaghetti. I'll be honest againI also haven't really listened that closely to the lyrics of this song because it's just so mellow and soft that I find myself tuning them out. 7/10

10. Come Closer. A very close runner with "The Sinking Game" for my favorite song on the album. I just absolutely love the use of so many different kinds of instruments and musical styles. When it cuts to the chorus it sounds like something Dave Matthews or John Mayer would sing, but then I guess that probably has something to do with the referral to the person as though their name is "love." This song also has Marit's strongest vocal performance where toward the end she just belts out some strong notes. This song really has something that everybody should find enjoyable. 9/10

11. Poison Passion. Again I didn't really listen to the lyrics here. The melody is sad and quite depressing in my opinion. Doesn't seem like the kind of way I'd want to end my album. But with all this said, the stringed-instrument accompaniment to this song is beautifully somber. 8/10

FINAL SCORE: 10/10 (Not an average, obviously)

How can an album that did not receive a 10/10 on any song possibly receive a final score of 10/10? The album as a whole is so wonderfully diverse. Each and every song is a slice of musical genius, and (in combination with one another) the album is the most unique collection of music I've ever listened to. I honestly love this album already more than I ever loved M2M's music. So Marit, I have to say: mission accomplished. I always knew you had talent. But I never thought you were this good.

Good Old Days.......2006-03-23

The reason I purchase "The Best of Surface" is because of the good old days. During this period I had a lot of fun going to friends, dancing in clubs and just enjoying life as it was. However we all know that time doesn't waits for anyone. There has been many years since I last saw many of my friends and family member. This CD bring back good memories and good times. It makes me feel pretty good. I guess what I am saying is this, whenever times are tough or seem to be tough, I turn on my good old days music. Each and everytime I do this, my friends, family members and my happiness are within me all over again. A really good feeling. Well there you have it, my reason for purchasing this CD.

They just don't make 'em like this anymore..............2005-03-14

I agree with the other reviewer. It's a shame not too many people realize what a gem this is. It's not just that the songs are good, it's that this type of music is so rare, which is exactly what makes gems so precious.

They don't make'em like this anymore: light, airy, breezy, upbeat & bouncy yet somehow still managing to be mid-tempo, and definitely not too funky. But at the same time soulful & tender and backed by a subtle bass note. Listen to the voice inflections, especially on "You Are My Everything" and you'll know what I mean. The thing is, even when they were makin 'em like this, this music was still rare.

If music's job & attraction is to set(or enhance) a mood then Surface's music is THE perfect complement to a perfect spring day. I never play this music at night as it begs to be the soundtrack to a gorgeous spring day when romance is in the air & when men are gentlemen and ladies can be treated like princesses. When the sun in all its splendor is out & when you're just cruisin'. If there's ever been a spring day when you were just out & about and noticed an incredibly beautiful single gal and on an impulse just bought her some flowers, then this is the music that you set that moment & feeling to.

SHOWER ME WITH YOUR LOVE!!.......2003-12-01

I must say that Surface has made good slowjams. It's a shame that no one has reviewed this album...which makes me the first one. The first single i heard from this group was 'Shower Me With Your Love' which has very catchy chorus and of course good lyrics. This song has become me and my gf's car cruising song and a song we sing together. I bought their album because of that single and discovered two other slowjams hits like 'The First Time' and 'Never Gonna Let You Down'. I've played these songs over and over again.

The only disappointment to this album is the song 'Falling In Love'. It was not included in tracks. It's one of my favourite songs so i end up downloading it from the net. Overall the album is 4/5 and its worth buying.

If you like Atlantic Starr you'll definately love Surface.

Album Description

Imagine a modern day Peter, Paul, & Mary, only edgier, and with a quirky sense of humor. Girlyman creates a rich, playful sound that crosses genres and genders. Their harmony-driven style veers from contemporary folk to country rock and pop. Each member switches off songwriting duties, lead vocals, and range of instruments including acoustic guitar, djembe, banjo, baritone guitar, and mandolin. The Village Voice has described this band as "Really Good, Really Unexpected, and Really Different."

I saw Girlyman with Dar Williams in Raleigh, NC. Great show!! This CD captures their unique harmonies and quirky edge. Great drive time music to beat the traffic jam blues.

An instant favorite!.......2005-03-11

Not sure how I stumbled across Girlyman, but the group is my new favorite. The great lyrics and gorgeous harmonies have won them a prominent spot on my play list! They're coming to Seattle soon! I won't miss the show!

One of my new favorites.......2005-02-23

It's always a thrill to be pleasantly surprised by an opening act you've never heard of. I first heard Girlyman when they opened for the Indigo Girls last fall, and was absolutely floored. "Say Goodbye," "Viola" and "The Shape I Found You In" are favorites, and their cover of "My Sweet Lord" is fun, although a little safe.

They were a fun band to see live. Girlyman possesses excellent stage presence and good-natured wit. I look forward to more great things from them.

Michael Stipe meets the Indigo Girls.......2005-02-20

I first heard this group on the radioio eclectic webstream. The song was "Fall Stories." I noticed over the course of a month or so that every time that the song came on that I paid more attention to it. They have marvelous melodies that you just wished you could hear more of in mainstream music. I found their website and listened to their album. After one listen I ordered the CD and awaited its arrival. I thought they reminded me very much of the early Indigo Girls. Later on I joined their fan club in the hope they might eventually visit somewhere nearby. They are now signed on to the Indigo Girls record label so I hope there is enough marketing power behind them that they get to make a new album. The only weak song on the album is the remake of George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord." It isn't bad, but just not as great as all the other songs.

Girlyman is incredible see them live.......2005-02-14

Girlyman is incredible see them live, the Remember who I am CD is wonderful, if you don't like this CD you have lost all Musical Taste! Love them Rock On!

While the Genius continues to slice through resistant mentals with his liquid sword rhyme schemes, his sophomore album is the first clear sign that Wu-Tang's pre-eminence may be waning. Without Bobby Digital working the track wizardry, Beneath the Surface is an odd amalgamation of RZA-wannabe tracks (courtesy of the Arabian Prince and Mathematics) that are starting to sound more and more like Swizz Beats every day. Gza's rhyme assaults still pack a wallop, but his album shows wear at the seams, bulging with impossibly high ambitions and uneven execution. Songs like "Breaker, Breaker," "Publicity," and "Hip Hop Fury" still burn hotter than Sahara summers, but it's not enough to help the entire LP catch fire. --Oliver Wang

GZA - Beneath The Surface.......2005-12-26

After taking a 4 year break, after releasing his by far classic album "Liquid Swords" he comes back in 1999 with this "Beneath The Surface" album. Now a lot of people had negative opinions aimed at this album. I know why. Because of the lack of "RZA" production. I totally agree, only one track "1112" was produced by RZA. He was busy with other sh** at the time and couldnt get in any more beats. But GZA released it and it was good. The production had other producers and they did a great job. Let me break down my opinions on this album.

Lyrics, GZA did definately not lose his touch. 2 years after "Liquid Swords" the album "Wu-Tang Forever" came out in 1997 and he dropped mad knowledge so he still had it cracken. Well this album has great lyrics. GZA still speaks on those real life topics. Every single verse GZA spits is knowledge, lyrically he didnt add up like he did on Liqiud Swords. He was better lyrically on that album, but he sort of matured and kept the lyrics more real. I did think that he could have replaced "TRACKS" instead of those stupid skits that werent needed at all.But GZA definately kept it real lyrically on this album so if you were wondering that, he did.

Production wise, people hate the fact that RZA didnt produce anything except one track on the whole album. Well it sucks, but didnt bother me much because every beat on the album was real. Definately not as grimey like the Liquid Swords album but they were still good. Still had Wu-Affiliated producers knockin off the beats for him. If you like the whole "Wu-Tang" sound of production then this album is for you there. One of the beats I love is "High Price, Small Reward", that beat was f*cken insane! So check it, no RZA production, but still good!

Overall, this album deserves 5/5 stars, just for the fact that GZA didnt weaken lyrically, and the production was still done by "Wu-Tang Affiliated" producers! Every song is good, hands down. Get this.

the best of the best..........2005-11-10

I am a long time head and this album hits a spot few others can reach. Consistantly dark, atmospheric, and brilliant, Beneath the Surface is strong in the running for my favorite album of all time, all genres. Indispensable. Daily play for months and months has not diminished my respect for this one. Even the admittedly lame skits don't really hurt it. I played this one out like the first Bobby Digital, multiple listens daily for a looong time. Liquid Swords is incredible too, and a must but I like this one a little more. Legend of the Liquid Swords I could not feel at all, even after repeated listenings. It just doesn't have that same darkness... GZA reigns supreme and this is his crowning glory.

Long Live Liquid Swords.......2005-10-19

To be blunt, this album is no "Liquid Swords". The production credit takes a nosedive by comparison, although there are a few decent cuts spread over the album. Most of the tracks sound like "filler" tracks to me. It becomes difficult to maintain interest all the way through. GZA is, and has always been, a great lyricist with great delivery. That doesn't change. The production was the missing ingredient on this album.

Decent tracks include:
Amplified Sample
Breaker Breaker
Stringplay
Publicity

I doubt we will ever see another Liquid Swords from the Genius.

Lead Singer of Surface, David Townsend, Found Dead .......2005-11-03

R/B Singer, Member of Soul Trio SURFACE Found Dead

R/B singer, producer, songwriter of the R/B group SURFACE dies.

(PRWEB) October 31, 2005 -- David Townsend from the 80's soft soul vocal trio SURFACE known for such lush ballads as "Happy", "Closer Than Friends", "Shower Me With Your Love" and the "The First Time" was found dead inside his Northridge, CA home Wednesday night (October 26) by a close friend. The cause of death was unknown. Townsend was 50.

SURFACE member vocalist/writer/producer DAVID TOWNSEND, was the son of the late legendary singer/songwriter/producer Ed Townsend. Ed Townsend was responsible for co-writing "Let's Get It On" by the late great Marvin Gaye and who had his own solo hit "For Your Love" back in 1958 . David Townsend followed his father's footsteps and wrote, produced, and performed with numerous artists over the past three decades. These artists included The Isley Brothers, Sister Sledge, New Edition, Rebbie Jackson, Jermaine Jackson and the legendary Aretha Franklin.

SURFACE'S Management (RDMJ Entertainment Management spokesman Randy Lopez) released a statement early this morning. "We are all shocked and saddened by the sudden death of David Townsend. He was one of the most down to earth and nicest person. He was such a great producer and a major talent. We will miss him."

Bernard Jackson and David "Pic" Conley of the group SURFACE released a statement today, "We are both shocked and very saddened by our loss of our close friend David. He was a great producer, songwriter and a great friend. We will miss him. We also want to say thank you to all our fans around the world for their love and support during this difficult time."

The dynamic million-selling group SURFACE has charted numerous times on the Billboard Magazine Pop and R/B charts over the past two decades.

In 1987, the group's self-entitled album peaked at #11 on the Billboard R/B Album chart which also spawned two top ten R/B singles, "Happy" and "Lately" and a top 25 R/B single "Let's Try Again".

The group's follow-up sophomore album "2nd Wave" which was released in 1989 was an instant smash and was certified platinum. The album peaked on the top of the R/B album charts at #5. The album released five singles, three of which went #1 on the R/B charts "You Are My Everything" featuring guest vocalist Regina Belle, "Closer Than Friends" and "Shower Me With Your Love". The latter song was certified gold and was a crossover hit on the Billboard Pop 100 singles chart peaking in at #5 and the Adult Contemporary chart at #3. The singles "Can We Spend Some Time Together" and the up-tempo dance floor cut "I Missed" were top 5 R/B hits.

In 1991, the group's third album "3 Deep" was released and was yet another success for the group. The first single from the album was titled "The First Time" which was certified gold and went #1 on the Billboard R/B, Pop and Adult Contemporary singles charts. The hits continued with "All I Want Is You" (peaked at #8 R/B) and "Never Gonna Let You Down" (peaked at #17 on the R/B and Adult Contemporary singles charts). The next single from the album "You're the One" reached # 24 on the R/B singles chart.

Due to the group's huge success and releasing numerous hits, the group's record company decided to release a greatest hit's package "A Nice Time For Lovin - The Best of Surface" which later spawned the single of the same name.

The group SURFACE was currently in the recording studio laying tracks for their new upcoming release due later next year. SURFACE is scheduled to perform at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA on December 29 and 30th, 2005.

A great CD if you like love songs........1999-03-20

In the tradition of the Stylistics, Chi-Lites, and Blue Magic, Surface delivers a smooth groove reminiscent of the 70's romantic ballads, yet with a flavor for the 90's. I love this CD!
