About the Artist
From 1976 to 2000

It all started Christmas 1976, When Donald, Ronald, and Stevie Clark received musical instruments. Ronald and Donald received guitars and Stevie received drums. After discovering that God had placed gifts inside of them, they began to play and mature in the things of God. By 1985, they recorded their debut album entitled "Road To Heaven". This great recording would be later followed by their biggest hits today; "We can overcome" and "Can I get a witness. This group has traveled thru out the east coast and are on the verge of launching a national recording entitled " The Power of Prayer". The group now feature James Clark Jr, who has a very soulful voice and keeps the group in sync with today generation music. The group have a good mix of soulful flavor as well as traditional songs that will inspire the mind to follow Christ. The group is headed by founder and lead singer James Pee Wee Clark. His voice is a cross between Joe Ligion of "The Mighty Clouds Of Joy" and Harvey Watkins Jr of "The Canton Spirituals". James I and II team up on 2 songs to give you a blend of youthful and seasoned sound

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-02-05

This is a really good representation of 20th century hymn tunes sung by a typical British Choir made up of boy sopranos, male altos and the usual number of tenors and basses. The choir sings very well using good diction and appropriate interpretation. The arrangements are varied, different groups of voices singing parts of a hymn usually alternating and eventually the full choir joins in; nothing unusual in the arrangements themselves. There is a nice variety of hymns, some more interesting than others. I will comment on a few of them as follows:
The opening hymn:'Christ, triumphant, ever reigning' is a good opener in that it is quick and begins with the boy sopranos and immediately gets your attention. John Barnard's majestic 'Guiting Power' tune sweeps the words up in a wide-ranging,flowing melody that creates from them a fine hymn.
'I, the Lord of sea and sky(Here I am, Lord) is a truly striking hymn! The words of this song begin with a proclamation in the verses; this is answered in the refrain by the singer's commitment to service. This is reflected in the tune. The melody for the verses has a vigorous movement to proclaim the work of God in creation, His continuing love for that creation,and His call for service. Both the words and music are by the American Jesuit musician Daniel L. Schutte, who has served both on college campuses and in parish ministry.
'All My Hope On God Is Founded' the tune of which is written by Herbert Howells and is called 'Michael'in memory of his son who died in childhood. It is a lovely melody and the words suit it very well.
The composer Ralph Vaughan Williams was the music editor of the 'English Hymnal'. The most widely used of his own tunes was the 'Monk's Gate' which he created from a folk tune. It is subtly contrived, as the rhythm of the alleluias shows. 'Sine nomine' simply means without a name.The resulting hymn is 'For All the Saints'.

The Wells Cathedral Choir under the direction of Malcolm Archer accompanied by Rupert Gough on the organ have produced an excellent disc.

Dan Schutte's Here I Am, Lord.......2001-01-08

I bought this collection because I saw the song, Here I Am, Lord written by Daniel Schutte. I grew up singing this song and many other pieces from the St. Louis Jesuits and this continues to be one that has deep meaning for me. In addition, the other pieces in this collection are very enjoyable to listen to, not only for worship but for time of reflection.

Dan Schutte's Here I Am, Lord.......2001-01-08

God is an Englishman.......2000-06-05

After the Anglican Communion, particularly the American branch, has completed its transformation from a church to a political-social club, at least it will be remembered for two things: the beautiful and influential language of its Book of Common Prayer (1662) and its wonderful music. The English Hymn, volume 1, is a promising start to another English music series by Hyperion. This series complements Hyperion's English Anthems series, its Psalms at St. Paul's (many volumes of Anglican chant), and its two-CD collection of "Mags and Nuncs" (My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord and My Spirit Hath Rejoiced). Volume 1, "Christ Triumphant," features hymns written in the 20th century. The styles of the hymns range from confident, pre-Great War, "God is an Englishman" roof-raisers to insipid, happy-clappy jingles, which inadvertently, I assume, parallel the decline of the church. The Wells Cathedral Choir sings with gusto and, typical of Hyperion, the sound quality is excellent. My only disappointment came when the CD ended - is this all there is to the 20th century? I hope Hyperion plans to include more than one volume on the 20th century in this series. If you enjoy this type of music, you will be satisfied with this CD. If you have CDs from the other series listed above, the English Hymn, vol. 1, and a programmable, carousel-CD player, now you can click your heels and transport yourself to Evensong at King's College, Cambridge, or St. Paul's, London!

Taking its cue from the soundtrack's fluke Joan Osborne hit, "One of Us," this is the film that dares ask "What if one of us--or Jim Carrey--were God?" While the comedy here makes Ace Ventura sound like Noel Coward, its soundtrack is an energetic, if pedestrian, mix of modern rock (Osborne, Plumb's "God-Shaped Hole," "You're a God" by Vertical Horizon) and electronica (Snap!'s ubiquitous "The Power", the kitsch-hop of Elvis Vs. JXL's "A Little Less Conversation," Fatboy Slim) that's as fluffy as it is friendly. John Debney, a composer who's becoming to contemporary comedy what Bernard Herrmann was to murder mysteries, fills the album's second half with a sprightly collection of his trademark, breezily pastoral cues. --Jerry McCulley

Wish they had Barry and The Vines.......2006-12-29

I wish they would have included the Barry White song Bruce uses to seduce Grace with. Also they left out The Vines' song "Outtathaway" which is played when Bruce is driving his sportscar and parts all of the cars in traffic. I LOVE that song! But the album is OK otherwise, nice to listen to at work or while driving.

A Calm Way to Enjoy Celin's Hits.......2005-07-08

This album has collected most of Celin's greatest hits and played them to the piano with a pleasant suggestion of the stringed instruments in the background. It would be more complete if Where Does My Heart Beat Now and I Drove All Night were also included. Nevertheless, the orchestration is awesome, and the music overall is very soothing. The tempo is slow and benefitial for studying or just relaxing. The tracks just melt into each other, and you find yourself filling the lyrics to the various songs as they play. This Cd is especially good if you are an enthusiastic fan of Celin Dion and classical music because the two concepts are blended in this album. And even if you are neither, the music is quite calming anyways.

absolutely worth owning.......2003-02-15

I have many classical guitar albums, including several by John Williams in solo, duet and concerti, and this is one of my favorites. The playing is virtuosic as is expected from Williams, but the repertoire is varied and includes litte known works, including a Shostakovich duet written for guitar! Some reviewers haven't cared for the "mediocre" compositions from Australia, Ireland and the Americas, but I have to strongly disagree. Brouwer can at times be difficult, but he's hardly a slouch. Besides, if these compositions were worthy to draw the attention of one of the greatest guitarists of all time (and a fine composer in his own right), I think they're worthy of ours!
Buy this album, listen to it a few times for familiarization, and enjoy it for years to come.

Impeccable playing.......2002-08-16

Williams and Kain display their considerable talents in playing with fire and reserve,virtuosity and taste and are generally close to perfect.The De Falla,Granados,Takemitsu,Hand,Soler and Shostakovich works are the standouts.The disappointing part of the album comes with the Westlake,Houghton,Brouwer and Verdery pieces.The greatest playing in the world can't disguise mediocre compositions.This is an overall good album but it does require skipping around a lot of superfluous stuff.
Get this one if you happen across a used copy.

Terrific collection of pieces.......2002-04-01

I have had this CD for several years, and still enjoy it as much as when it was first given to me. It is being passed around the family, as my son owned a copy, then bought me one, and I have just ordered a copy for my daughter-in-law.

Some of the pieces are familiar, but if you persevere, I am sure you will come to enjoy the works that are new to you.

I was sorry to see that one reviewer did not enjoy the Australian works. The Westlake piece [Songs from the Forest] is fairly light and very melodic. If you enjoy it, you should check out his Antarctica music, which exists in several different versions.

Kain's Guitar Trek recordings are also worth hunting for.

Gorgeous world music, in the truest sense...........2002-01-03

John Williams and Timothy Kain, two masters of their chosen instrument, with more in common than just the country of their birth. Kain's guitar teacher at the conservatory in Australia had studied with Williams' father, Len. Williams and Kain first worked together in 1992, and enjoyed the experience. The two men form a complimentary duo in both technique and approach to music. Their playing is flawless. Their duets are seamless.

On this disk, Williams and Kain "journey outside the confines of the classical guitar repertoire." What a magnificent journey it is, too! The Mantis & The Moon contains 18 selections by 12 composers, grouped together by the cultures of the 6 lands they represent...Spain, Australia, Ireland, the Americas, Japan, and Russia.

This is beautiful music performed by two of the greatest guitarists of our generation. These performances go beyond classical, folk, pop or the usual guitar "genre" pieces. Yet the music is lovely, enjoyable, and accessible to the listener. If you love guitar music, you owe it to yourself to pick up this CD.

Mantis and the Moon.......2001-12-13

Williams and Kain play very well as a duo. My favorite pieces on this CD are "Sonata in A," "Capitola," and "Jongo." "Sonata in A" is acoustical honey for the ears, as it epitomises Chopin's comment that nothing sounds sweeter than a guitar--except two guitars. "Jongo" is simply dazzling (but far from simple to perform). However, I don't like the Australian compositions (sorry about that critique of your Aussie mates, Mr. Williams). A few other selections are uninspiring as well. It may come as a surprise, but I prefer the Parkening and Brandon duo's performances of "La Vida Breve" and "Intermezzo" over Williams and Kain. Nonetheless, Williams and Kain put in some fine performances on this CD.

Well sung and varied repertoire from a legend........2005-09-21

I first heard London as Wotan in a recording of das Rheindgold under Solti. I remember the voice as if resembling molten lava containing vast amounts of energy yet never too quick to release it. The voice was magnificent! When I read that its owner was passed his prime at the time of recording the role, I got quite excited and looked forward to getting to know this voice at the highpoint of its years portraying ( as is it is nicely put) gods and demons.

I value this CD mostly as a historic document of an artist not too well known, because I am missing the emotional build up and thus my own emotional engagement in the music. This is ofcourse often the case with anthologies such as this.

This being said, as I tread my way through more and more complete productions of operas I can see myself coming back to this recording comparing styles, textual insights and ofcourse the vocal techniques used by the different singers in the arias.

It does not sound as if George Londong did anything half heartedly and I believe his renditions are most definately to be reckoned with.

Terrifying, Thrilling, Gorgeous!.......2003-08-29

George London is my idol as far as singing goes. I'm a bass-baritone, myself and I've always admired him. I particulary love the Mussorgsky and Wagner selections. The 'Clock Scene' was absolutely terrifying and the two Wagner songs were majestic and powerful.
London could take any song and do amazing things simply because of the sheer vocal quality of his voice. Not to mention his great acting ability.

Satanic!.......2003-07-14

This is an excellent collection of a some of London's best roles, plus the recordings are clear and lively. His voice is very focused and totally overwhelming. While his "Le veau d'or" can't compare to that of Christoff, London still makes for a great devil.. and his acting is superb. It's unfortunate that they didn't include London's Scarpia (see the 1960 recording of Tosca with Tebaldi and del Monaco) or one of his villains from the Tales of Hoffmann. This CD is a necessity for all fans of one of the century's finest bass-baritones and actors!

Wow!! What an outstanding CD. I just received the CD today and I must say I'm nothing short of "inspired". Her voice and the arrangements of these songs are of the quality of any singer and the accompaning music I've ever listened to. After especially listening to the second song "JOY" I'll never be the same again. Thanks Skye for such a wonderful CD. Please don't stop with just this one!

Beautiful singing voice.......2006-12-10

Skye Dyer has the most beautiful voice.

I knew from Wayne Dyer's previous lectures that his children have a variety of talents, including musical talents. But in my mind, I guess I thought it was just a father bragging about his kids. I didn't disbelieve him -- I just had no idea that Skye was a *professional* grade singer, who could hold her own with the best of them.

I heard her sing the St. Francis prayer on PBS, which is what led me to buy this album. It's perfect for in the car or around the house - fun, uplifting music that makes me well up inside with happiness. It's like rays of sunshine eminating from my CD player!

It remind me of many of the songs we sing at our Unity services. I especially like her version of Starry Starry Night. Why can't all radio stations play this kind of music? It's not angry, not gang-banging, not riddled with techno beats, and no ulterior motive or guilt & shame based Christian themes. It's just nice. Simple, airy, uplifting music.

The audio book is very well done, also. He is not reading a script or performing to a live audience - it's just Dr. Dyer talking into the microphone with some soft music in the background. It's very nice, and since I can't seem to find the time to finish the printed version, this summation will do just fine!

What's wrong with this album?.......2005-07-07

I love it. It was a time of major changes for Iron Maiden: First change in lineup since "Piece Of Mind", and with new guitarist Janick Guers they went back to a more raw sound... It's sounds almost like their first album. Also at that point, Bruce Dickinson gave up all the high pitch wailing that makes a lot of people hate Maiden, and he went for deeper, angrier vocals. He finally reveals his sense of humour with those "Hee!Hees!".
After all those extremely successful albums, all they could do was decline, but "No Prayer For The Dying" includes their ONLY #1 HIT SINGLE "Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter". Come On... Isn't that a great song?
Once again, the people who hate this album are the music fascists who can't accept changes and would have liked another classic album with Adrian Smith on guitar... GET A LIFE!

P.S.: That new cover is rubbish. The man being strangled has been wiped away. Now Eddie isn't strangling anything. He looks like a pathetic zombie.

A VERY underated album.......2003-09-14

While this album doesnt cover any new grounds,it takes you back on some old ones.Listen closely to a lot of these songs and you can here elements of everything from the first iron maiden album,up to Powerslave.The lyrics are NOT what maiden usually write but the song structures hold these songs together really well.Even though i'm not a big Janick Ger's fan,he doesnt ruin the album,its saved by creative Harmony parts along with Nicko's signature drumming...some great high-hat work and the big drum sound that he used on Piece of Mind.And Bruce try's out a harsh new vocal style...a lot of people don't like...but i think it fits here rather well.Where people get that the production is FLAT i'll never know.To me the production on Fear of the Dark was FAR worse.But all in all lots of good stuff here,Run Silent Run Deep,The Assassin,Fates Warning,Tailgunner.About the only song's i don't care for a whole lot is Holy Smoke or Hook's in You,lyrically speaking,but hey lyrics alone DON'T make a good album.And this one i like a lot.

Un Album SOTTOVALUTATO.......2003-08-28

Molti fans della band inglese, ritengono che questo sia uno degli album peggiori della carriera degli Iron Maiden. Il perchè? Il perchè è sicuramente da ricercarsi nel cambio di rotta che la band affrontò all'epoca. Sicuramente l'introduzione di Janick Gers come sostituto di Adrian Smith può spiazzare, ma tutti i brani sono stati composti prima della sua acquisizione.
In questo disco vediamo, come accennavo poc'anzi, la band cambiare orizzonti musicali. L'abbandono il PROG dei due album precedenti a favore di un "ritorno" al sound delle origini si concretizza con brani decisamente più corti rispetto al passato, ma non per questo privi del tipico mordente degli Iron Maiden.

01.TAILGUNNER - Un inizio solido e compatto che mette in evidenza da subito il nuovo suono della band. 4/5

02.HOLY SMOKE - Gli Iron Maiden all'opera con una tematica diversa ci propongono un brano estremamente rock dal quale traspare comunque il loro stile. Estremamente godibile. 3,5/5

03.NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING - In assoluto uno dei brani migliori dell'intero disco. Melodico ma aggressivo, riflessivo ed esplosivo. Un ulteriore passo avanti nella stesura delle liriche ora più intimiste e mature. Ottima Title Track. 5/5

04.PUBLIC ENEMA #1 - Un assalto chitarristico dalla luminosa belezza. Il chorus esplode accompagnato dall'ottimo bridge. Un brano costruito in maniera impeccabile. 4/5

05.FATES WARNING - L'anello di congiunzione tra il disco precedente e questo. Dall'intro delicata all'esplosione del riff fino all'ottimo chorus. 4/5

06.THE ASSASSIN - Complesso e discretamente poco orecchiabile. Puro Maiden Style in crescita. 3,5/5

07.RUN SILENT RUN DEEP - La cavalcata di terzine che scoppia dopo l'intro non sorregge questo brano che pare a mio avviso un ottimo scarto da qualche disco precedente. Svogliato ma godibile. 2,5/5

08.HOOKS IN YOU - Un riff coinvolgente opera del compianto Adrian Smith. Un brano che continua la saga di Charlotte... Peccato per la voce decisamente sottottono di Bruce. 3,5/5

09.BRING YOUR DAUGHTER... - Personalmente la ritengo la canzone più debole di tutto il disco. Un rock fin troppo poco studiato per garantire anche solo l'impatto. Dal vivo può essere coinvolgente, ma in disco perde tutto, risultanto sterile. 1/5

10.MOTHER RUSSIA - Gli Iron Maiden tornano forzatamente (pare) alle atmosfere complesse e sopra le righe di RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER, passando per ALEXANDER THE GREAT e schiantandosi su SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON. Questo è Mother Russia. Sopra le righe, complesso ma godibile. Forse sottovalutata in quanto posta in chiusura... Da rivalutare. 4/5

In conclusione un album buono, lontano ovviamente dai vecchi exploit ma comunque gradevole e dal ritmo incalzante.

Iron Maiden At Their Most Mediocre........2002-03-29

When talking about "No Prayer For the Dying," there tend to be two camps of Iron Maiden fans. There are those who hate the album, claiming that the songs are the weakest of Maiden's career and that it was the turning point in the band's career, when they went from embodying the greatness of the NWOBHM to being a shadow of what they were, prompting Bruce to leave the band. Then, there are those who love the album, praising it as a return to Maiden's "classic" sound after the synth-driven "Somewhere In Time" and "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son."

In truth, "No Prayer For the Dying" is neither. It is the most mediocre album that Iron Maiden have ever produced. It's far better than any of the travesties that followed it ("Fear of the Dark," "The X-Factor," and "Virtual XI") but nowhere near as good as anything that preceded it (or "Brave New World," which was Maiden's true return to form). New guitarist Janick Gers proved himself an ample replacement for Adrian Smith, though he would later show that his skills as a songwriter were significantly weaker than H's. "No Prayer" has its share of decent tracks, but the songs as a collection were nowhere near what Maiden is capable of.

Make no mistake, "No Prayer" suffers from many, many weak songs. "Holy Smoke," a rant against televangelists, is a rather stupid premise for a Maiden song; "Bring Your Daughter . . . to the Slaughter" is a poor song (the original version of the song, found on Bruce's solo "Best Of..." album, is far better) which suffers from a ridiculous title; "Hooks In You" is a poor addition to the "Charlotte the Harlot" series (especially following the masterpiece "22 Acacia Avenue" from "The Number of the Beast"); "The Assassin" has a lame, repetitive chorus (that said, musically, it's a decent song); and the title track is just a generally weak tune.

However, the good songs on this album are REALLY good. "Tailgunner" follows in the tradition of "Where Eagles Dare" and "Aces High" as a classic Maiden fighter pilot song. "Fates' Warning" and "Public Enema Number One" are both strong tracks (despite "Public Enema"'s unfortunate title), as is the epic-sounding "Mother Russia." The true highlight of the album, however - a song that should rightfully have become one of Maiden's all-time classics - is the maritime battle-themed "Run Silent, Run Deep." Building on a strong melody and one of Maiden's all-time top guitar solos, "Run Silent..." should have fit seemlessly into the canon of classic Maiden, yet somehow never received a place of honor on any of Maiden's live albums or their greatest hits collection.

Die-hard Maiden fans need to own "No Prayer For the Dying," if only to fill out their collections. More casual fans may want to find a way to listen to the songs I mentioned as being good before they make a decision on the album. "No Prayer For the Dying" may indeed have been the beginning of the end for Iron Maiden. But if songs like "Tailgunner" and "Run Silent, Run Deep" are what a band is capable of doing at its weakest, that's a pretty good indication of what Maiden can do at their best.

Okay, If You Cut It Some Slack.......2002-03-26

When I first bought this album, I was immediately disappointed by a few key things:
1. The absence of Adrian Smith and the presence of Janick Gers (not metal's worst guitarist, but hardly innovative or dyanmic)
2. The flat, lacksluster production
3. Some very uninspired songwriting
That being said, I almost threw this CD in the garbage before getting to the 5th track. However, I decided not to because it costed me [money] and was still a Maiden release.
After a while, some of the songs clicked with me. Tailgunner is an engaging tune, as well as Run Silent, Run Deep and Bring Your Daughter....To The Salughter, although none of them are as immediate or outward as Flight of Icarus or The Number of the Beast. Additionally, some tracks are really embarrassing (The Assassin sounds like a parody of early Iron Maiden and Holy Smoke is a total farce), making the album sound uneven and uninspired. And while I can usually tolerate lineup changes in most bands (take Zakk Wylde replacing Jake E. Lee in Ozzy Osbourne's band or Dickinson replacing Di'Anno in Maiden), Janick Gers is no match for Adrian Smith on guitar. There was a lot of energy in Smith's playing, but none in Ger's.
Overall, this an okay album for Maiden fans because it does have some decent material on it (though not enough). If you are not a Maiden fan or are one but only like their older output, steer clear of this one.

Wonderful worship music.......2006-12-30

I received this CD from a friend for Christmas. I played it many times a day for the week following and it added tremendously to the peace I felt during the season. I felt infused with the music and would wake humming praise. What a gift!
