My song is not on this album.......2007-07-15

Although the songs on this album are grrrrreat but I was looking for The Invisible Man's Band, All Night Thang and this album pops up and the song is not listed. What's up with that????????????????

ECELLENT CD........2007-03-09

THIS CD IS EXCELLENT SOME OF THE MUSIC I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE UNTIL I PLAYED IT IN MY CD PLAYER AND I COULDN'T BELEIVE IT. I WAS LIKE MAN I HAVEN'T HEARD THIS SONG IN A LONG TIME AND IT BOUGHT BACK MEMORIES.

THANKS GUYS.

Hard to Find Hits.......2002-03-12

I saw this cd at a party and then searched record stores hi and low with no success. I was so excited to see it on Amazon. This cd has some of the greatest dance hits ever. My main reason for purchasing was the Kano jam, however the entire cd is a stone gas. Whenever I play it, everyone wants to see the jacket and they beg to borrow. Great club music from days gone by!

Get your party groove on!.......2001-04-12

These songs take me back to the days when R'n'B was good to dance to. It reminded of living in an apartment building with music pumping through the speakers and people grooving to the beat. I was exercising and dancing to these songs! The main reason for buying the CD was Kano's "I'm Ready" (which I played several times when I received it in the mail today). But there were other hits that I remembered and worked out to as well. Those were my good old days!

Phat Trax..........2006-12-21

I got this disc for one song, the uncut, full length version of "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind and Fire (with the Emotions). The rest of the disc is good - but "Boogie Wonderlan" is in a class by itself!! Five stars!!

Excellent compilation.......2005-09-22

Good selection of songs in their full length versions. These type of compilations have been in short supply lately. I hope the record companies begin to see that these are worthwhile.

CRUCIAL VOLUME IN THE SERIES!.......2005-08-15

Even if you recognize no other song on this disc, it has the 12" versions of Boogie Wonderland and Ain't No Stoppin Us Now, which makes it a MUST HAVE. Get it before it's out of print. Track times for this volume:

1. heartbeat (9:47)
2. ain't no stopping us now (10:45)
3. ain't gonna hurt nobody (3:09)
4. do you wanna get funky with me (9:09)
5. boogie wonderland (8:22)

Odds and ends.......2007-07-26

As the other reviewer mentions, this CD is the last of the Ligeti Project and collects several miscellaneous works and arrangements (with a wide variety of performers as well). I would've much rather seen a new work on here, rather than the 20 minutes spent on Aventures and Nouvelles Aventures again - nevertheless, it's a good performance of a bizarre 'vocal' work sure to have you laughing out loud. The Sonata for Cello Solo is excellent, and contrary to the other reviewer, I find the ballroom dances delightful. Artikulation for tape is short and curious. It's nothing on Xenakis.
This certainly isn't a bad CD, it just isn't nearly as good as some of the other volumes. I'd get it just because I'm a completist - but I wouldn't regret buying it, either.

The last, and least, of the Ligeti Project.......2004-09-28

LIGETI PROJECT V marks the end of the collection--first started by Sony's "Gyorgy Ligeti Edition"--of Gyorgy Ligeti's works in performances overseen by the composer himself. This final installment contains new renditions of some material that has appeared before in the collection, as well as several early works, all performed as usual by the Asko and Schoenberg ensembles. I found it to be somewhat disappointing for what is present, since a lot of this has appeared before in only slightly different form, and even for for what was *not* included.

"Aventures" and "Nouvelles Aventures" are an evolution beyond Ligeti's early vocal works. Ligeti no longer uses a specific text to express emotion, instead inventing his own universal language. Though the words the singers are singing (written with IPA in the score) are nonsensical, the basic emotions come through quite clearly in this drama. As fascinating as the experiment is, however, it is somewhat frustrating to simply listen to a recording, as the visual element is lost. The baritone, Omar Ebrahim, may be familiar to some from his spoken-word performance in Peter Eotvos' "Sketches of a conversation". These two pieces have appeared before on "Gyorgy Ligeti Edition 4: Vocal Works", but this is a live recording and apparently it creates such a different ambience that the pieces are worth including again.

"Artikulation" is one of Ligeti's three forays into electronic music, composed in Cologne in 1958 after Ligeti had fled Hungary. The piece was realised under the patronship of Karlheinz Stockhausen and a young Cornelius Cardew, who would later go on to become England's first Maoist composer, served as recording engineer. This is the original recording from 1958, but it has been down-mixed from quadraphonic to stereo. It's interesting listening, though I would have liked to see the project try to create a new "performance."

I was eagerly awaiting the appearance of "Sonata for Cello Solo." It is one of Ligeti's earliest works, with a first Dialogo composed while he was a student at the conservatory in Cluj. It is one of the most beautiful things Ligeti has ever done. A Capriccio followed five years later, and foretells Ligeti's avant-garde string works. This forms, I think, the best piece on this disc. David Gerinas' performance is great, but check out the recent reissue on DG as well.

"Musica Ricercata", originally a piano sequence written in the 1950's, appears here in an arrangement by instrumentalist May Bonnay for bayan, a type of Russian accordian for which Sofia Gubaidulina also has composed. Only eight pieces from the original work are represented, "Mesto, rigide e cerimoniale" would be, I suppose, too challenging for an accordian arrangement. "Musica Ricercata" would have been just fine had Ligeti not gone on to write his stunning Piano Etudes, but I find the piece to be rather uninventive and this bayan arrangement unappealing.

"The Big Turtle Fanfare from the South China Sea" is a short (45-second) piece for solo trumpet, part of the score Ligeti had composed for a puppet opera in the early 1950's. It is merely a cute curiosity and adds little to the disc.

"Balada Si Joc" dates from Ligeti's brief return to his native Transylvania in 1950 for ethnomusical studies. Faux folk music, it contains much of the same material as "Concert Romanesc". The piece has appeared before on "Gyorgy Ligeti Edition 1: String Quartets and Duets", but the arrangement here is for school orchestra and sounds much richer and fuller.

I don't even know what to say about ""Regi Magyar Tarsas Tancok" (Old Hungarian Ballroom Dances). They are not even Ligeti's own work, but rather arrangements by him of the schmaltzy dancehall hits of the Biedermeier period (around 1800). This music is so very dull, not something I want to hear on a disc with Ligeti's name on it. Coming last, it leaves one with a bad impression of this final installment.

All in all, I'm unhappy that the series is over. There are still works yet to be collected, such as his electronic piece "Glissandi" supressed as juvenalia, Book Three of his Piano Etudes, and the variant arrangement of "Ramifications". Still, the entire Ligeti Project series is worth collecting (as is the earlier Gyorgy Ligeti Edition on Sony). The one gets a two-star rating mostly because of the lackluster ballroom dances and the missing Etudes, and the one thing that really saves it is the "Cello Sonata" and "Artikulation". Pick it up after you've got all the others.
