Where's the Smurf!?!.......2005-11-04

When I heard the Smurf by Tyrone Brunson, I was like, "Oh Yeah!!!". But when I saw that they didn't have it on the CD, I was like, "Oh no!" The Smurf would've been the only reason why I would've bought this CD being that I already have the other tracks. The Smurf is a major jam. Too bad it didn't make the cut.

Don't Push Me...Cus I'm Close To The Edge!.......2003-07-08

The Grand Theft Auto Vice City game had one of the best soundtracks to a video game ever. The game, coming equipped with different radio stations playing classic tracks from the 80's helped set the mood and feel of the game. This radio station, Wildstyle, found in the game is incredible. Old school classics such as Zapp & Roger's More Bounce To The Ounce, Run DMC's Rock Box, and Kurtis Blow's - The Breaks are all present here.
Breakdancing classics also run wild here with the inclusion of Afrika Bambataa's Looking For The Perfect Beat, Cybotron's Clear, and Kashim's Al Naayfish ( The Soul ). Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's hit The Message is also included here. The only thing that slows this album down is the little talking interludes...other than that...this cd is a great collection of 80's hip hop. Recommended.

A review of GTA VC's Wildstyle Pirate Radio........2003-06-19

Wildstyle Pirate Radio is an awesome cd, as well as the radio station in the actual video game. It was relesed around the time the game was, which was in the year of 2002. Most of the tracks on this album are spectacular, and feature Old School rap at its best. There is also some great commentary by Mr. Magic. All of the songs are in there original sequences and aren't shortened like they are in the video game's radio station.

My top 3 favorite pieces from this album are 7,10, and 15. Mantronix by Bassline has a great beat and an outstanding introduction sound to it. Al-Naafiysh [The Soul] by Hashim is another stupendous composition with a nice, crisp sound. Rock Box by Run DMC has an awesome guitar sound and great lyrics. In fact, after I heard this particular song, I went out and bought the album of theirs that it originally debuted on. It was no dissapointment.

To abridge, this is a great release. It has terrific rap music on it. Thank God it's not like today's modern rap, with all of the uneccesary cursing and violent/hateful themes. I don't know who could stand listening to that. C-BO's the only exception. Great memories on Wildstyle. Thank you for taking the time and generosity to read my review.

Good Rap from the 80's.......2002-11-29

Hey if you like rap music,then you should get this! It is really good I like all the beats & all the songs! It makes you feal like your playing the game! Anyways If you don't have Grand Theft Auto Vice City yet you should get it! & get all the soundtracks too.& if you get them get them from www.amazon.com .

P.S. The game & the cd are REALLY worth geting!!

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.

RIGHT ON, RHINO!!.......2007-05-09

Another strong release in this series. Somebody at Rhino decided (and correctly so) that the tracks should be released for the listener's full pleasure, not chopped up or watered down (also known as an "edited" version). Can't go wrong with most of these tracks here...although, I must admit, after taking a closer look at some of the titles,I have a question: Was Rhino merely re-issuing a series or telling a story? You be the judge. There are also a couple of "sub-plots" here...most people believed that the song "White Horse" by Laid Back referred to cocaine...hmmm! And...wanna impress your friends? Drop this trivia on them: What early 80s disco group was Keith Sweat in? The answer is...GQ! He was the bassist, Keith "Sabu" Crier. Crier...get it? Keith SWEAT? All that damn begging...but that's all right, he's still the man! If you don't have this, better pick it up for a decent price while you still can!

RHINO gets it right this time!!!.......2005-08-15

Sometimes, rhino doesn't go all out and give us the full versions of classic dance tracks, but with this series, they give it all, with great sound quality. Volume 5 is one of the strongest, with the best song selection. Track times for this volume:

1. you dropped a bomb on me (13:15)
2. groove line (7:29)
3. got to be real (5:11)
4. best of my love (3:42)
5. be thankful (3:54)
6. disco nights (rock freak) (7:59)
