From the opening salvo of "Pooploser," starting with a crying baby and the ascending chant "f**king piece of shit, and you'll never amount to nothing," it's clear that The Beginning of All Things to End, a reissue of MuDvAyNe's out-of-print 1997 EP, Kill I Oughta, conveys an opinion. The former EP, now 11 tracks long, also includes "interludes" from their gold-certified debut, L.D. 50, plus a duo of bonus remixes. As such, the new CD is valuable for new fans anxious to own Kill I Oughta songs, and as a whole, it's also a surprisingly cohesive and powerful outing in the broad nu metal genre. "Seed" boasts the grind-groove power of Pantera, while the melodic yet seething sounds of "Cultivate," with its big, funky bass line and heated vocals from singer Kud, also features the raw honesty that permeates MuDvAyNe's on-the-edge sound. The Midwestern quartet, with its face paint and trendy look, have a welcome breadth and depth to their music and style and are certainly worth digging into, The Beginning being a good place to start. --Katherine Turman

Not your typical Mudvayne.......2006-04-01

I bought this cd expecting to hear some Mudvayne that isn't on the're other couple cds that would be just as good as there other cds. I was wrong. Its really amature and not the typical Mudvayne sound your used to. I agree that track 10 the dig remix is pretty good. Eventhough I have that remix on a compilation cd I think its on the Valentine Soundtrack

Kill I Oughta Rocks!.......2006-03-13

Sure it might not be like L.D. 50, TEOATTC, or Lost & Found. But Mudvayne did tremendous work with this masterpiece! But to tell you the truth, I found this album to be much more heavier then L.D. even if Ryan wasn't envolved back then. Even though, this great album was supposed to be released in 1997, but who cares, Kill I Ougtha or whatever you pronounce it is a must have for Mudvayne fans! But now, its called TBOATTE now with its released in 2001 & it rocks, you guys won't be disappointed, especially hardcore Mudvayne heads! I have all 4 of their albums, & I'll be glad if they'll make a 5th album soon in 2007!

Buy L.D.50.......2006-02-10

I would stick to their recent work...this album is unpolished and unimpressive. Only for die-hard fans who must own everything Mudvayne. 2 stars only because of the Dig remixes tagged onto the end, but you can find those on other compilation albums so I'd stay away from this one. Sorry to dissapoint.

Listen You Oughtta.......2006-01-31

Originally released back in 1997 as "Kill I Oughtta," Mudvayne's debut was re-released in 2001 as "The Beginning Of All Things To End" (which cleverly connects with the title of their 2002 album) with a few extras tacked on the end. It's always fun to hear the earliest music possible from established musicians, and Mudvayne's debut is no exception. The big surprise is that it actually turns out to be a bit better than their later efforts (not to slight them in anyway). Despite the fact that the line-up is missing Ryan on bass, their signature sound is established pretty early with this effort.

"Poop Loser" -- yeah, you heard me -- opens the album up on a somewhat awkward note, but soon after, "Seed" picks this album up and keeps running. The best cuts from here would be "I.D.I.O.T." and "Cultivate," which are just as good as anything off of their official debut album, "LD 5.0." The music on "Kill I Oughtta" is simply streamlined Mudvayne. If you want to hear the band just rock out without too much dramatics or showing off, this is where you want to be. The bonus tracks include not only two remixes of "Dig," but a track titled "LD 5.0" which weaves all the interludes from that album into one song. Definitely an interesting listen. The remixes themselves are actually quite impressive. Both are done by Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly, Fear Factory) and are actually listenable, even to the most discriminating ear.

So, aside from it's production values and moderate sound quality, "Kill I Oughtta" is among Mudvayne's best work. Any serious fan should own this, even if they aren't a completist. There isn't much else to say about this release. The music just speaks for itself.

MUDVAYNE ROCKS THE JOINT OVER & OVER AGAIN!!!! .......2006-01-24

Ever since L.D. 50 has been released, I was pleased that Mudvaynes 2nd album TBOATTE was to be released in 2001 already, but who cares, I picked it up & liked it already. Two remixes of "Dig" were awesome. It formely was named Kill I Outa & it originally was the first Mudvayne album that Ryan wasn't involved in Mudvayne back then. Some people rate this below but I think this is one of their best albums along with L.D. 50. Try this album out people &or Mudvayne fans, you won't regret this taste of Mudvayne music, I KNOW.p.s. It was supposed to be released in 1997, just to let you Mudvayne fans know thats all.

Grant Lee Genius.......2007-08-02

I've of course heard of Grant Lee (Buffalo/Phillips)but this was my first purchase, and its been on high rotation ever since. Its just such good, feel good music & I would like to punish myself physically for not having got into this before. This may not even be the best but i will now buy them all on the basis of this album. I love it, seriously, I love it. Don't ask me song titles, the whole album just swings on thru and its starting over and I let it go again, and the whole thing just sounds better and better. I dunno is it Duncan Sheik meets Beck? I guess if it could be better than maybe a studio band with a real live drummer, but I'm being picky. Grant Lee, please include me in your (should be) legions of fans.

Exceptional!.......2006-02-24

Was always a big fan of Grant Lee Buffalo, "Jubilee" totally rules, and Grant Lee on his own rocks too!

"Like A Lover" is one of the simplest songs, but conveys so much feeling, it knocks me out everytime I hear it.

"Mobilize" the beat always makes me think of Portishead, such a cool song

"Spring Released" is one of those songs that's timeless. It's like religion to play this track coming into the sunny season.

Do yourself a favour and buy anything of this exceptional musician that you can get your hands on. C'mon Grant Lee, give us another!!

rhythm + romanticism + melody = Mobilize.......2005-07-14

"Epic masterpiece..." "Channeling John Lennon" These are descriptions from other reviews, both puzzling to me. There's nothing epic about this, nor is there the slightest resemblance to Mr. Lennon -- who composed music in an entirely different vein. This is a personal album, sometimes quiet and sometimes hypnotically beat-driven. As far as I can tell GLP played and sang everything himself. This is like his earlier Ladies Love Oracle, but juiced up with rhythm. Acoustic guitars and electric keyboards predominate, with the sythetic percussion.

Mobilize doesn't really hang together as a unified piece. It is more a collection of songs, most of which are very good. The best of them are dreamy, entrancing, and soothing. Computer-sequenced beats give a pulse to many of the tracks. The lyrics are specific enough to be enticing but vague enough to allow your own interpretation. But take advantage of the free amazon.com download of See America and you will hear for yourself the strengths of this Grant-Lee Phillips effort. It will tell you ten times more than I could ever say in a review. Besides, there are only two kinds of music: good and bad. And you and I will never completely agree on which is which. At least give this a try. Was See America Grant-Lee's twist on Simon & Garfunkel's "...all come to look for America"? It seems so to me, and I think it is equally clever and anthemic.

See America, Sleepless Lake, and April Chimes showcase Phillips' ability to write a haunting melody, which is something of a lost art. See his Ladies Love Oracle CD for more of the same.

The other free download, the title track, is probably the least enjoyable tune on the album. It sounds a bit off-kilter, with its minor chords and allusions to war. The other tracks are much less depressing. Spring Released is positively bouyant, as is Beautiful Dreamers. (My grandmother used to play the classic old song Beautiful Dreamer, which GLP deftly incorporates into his own new composition.)

GLP is not trying to push the envelope or pump you up or sermonize. He seeks to entertain, by presenting a little piece of his contempative romantic soul. Treat yourself to some high class pop. Get this album. You can catch glimpses of GLP as the "town troubadour" on the first season of Gilmore Girls, too. That's how I was first introduced to his music.

I lost my first copy of this CD. I can't imagine how. It never left the house. But I had to buy another, because I knew I would miss it. I think you might feel that way about it, too.

Only 500 times over..........2002-11-08

I first heard Grant-Lee when he was part of Grant-Lee Buffalo. A friend made me a tape of "Mighty Joe Moon" about six years ago. I hadn't really thought about Grant-Lee until I saw the Exile Follies tour with Kristen Hersh, Grant-Lee and John Doe. I was so impressed with Grant-Lee that I had to hear more. I downloaded parts of songs from this album and listened to them over and over. I had to buy the album. So I bought it a week ago and have been listening to nothing else but this since. It's on most of the day at work and then on in the car for four or five songs at a time. I truly love this cd, it's a good thing that it's not on tape or the tape would be worn out already.

There is something really catchy about the songs that make you want to listen to them over and over. They also get stuck in your head and you just have to listen to them! "Spring Released," "Sadness Soot" and "Beautiful Dreamers" are the main ones that I keep singing over and over in my head. "See America" has a wonderful romantic sound to it that makes you want to take a road trip. I thought the lyrics seemed really cool at first, then I read the lyrics in the liner notes and realized that they are even cooler than they sound, they are quite poetic.

If you've never heard Grant-Lee, I've learned that you're missing out. He's definitely up there with my faves - PJ Harvey, Kristen Hersh, Tori and Liz Phair. I will definitely be adding more Grant-Lee Phillips to my collection as I can afford it.

Move to this........2002-08-26

Grant Lee Phillips is a top-class singer-songwriter who has a wealth of experience as well as two or three truly great records behind him, and somehow you just knew he wasn't going to disappoint with Mobilize. It finds Phillips embracing a more polished, modern sound than past efforts - accentuated by the classy, breatless pop of the opener 'See America' and similarly impressive 'Humankind'. As the title suggests 'Love's A Mystery' is all mystique and intrigue with Phillips sounding eerily like David Byrne, and is exactly the kind of left-field tunesmithery on the human condition at which he excels.
The real gem here though is 'Sadness Soot' - dizzying in it's magnificence and showcasing just how remarkable Phillips' voice really is - a master of phrasing, mood and expression. As with his Grant Lee Buffalo albums, just when you think you're in for more pop thrills, we get something edgy and challenging like the title track to throw you off the scent. The second half of Mobilize is engaging and interesting, if a little less consistent than the first (though that's a common complaint these days). Still, the bonus track 'Sunday Best' is a rather jaunty closing treat.
For listeners that like their music to be innovative, fresh and just a little outside the square then Mobilize will fit the bill nicely.

YES INDEED, MAN!!!!!.......2007-03-07

you know, i thought at first when i heard FUNKY NASSAU that this was gonna be one of those albums where the song released (of course, they are considered "one hit wonders".) is the first cut and the rest of the album just plain sucks!!!! i have never been so happy to be wrong in my whole unfulfilled LIFE!!!!! this is the type of funkiness that i have dreamt about for the vast majority of my life!!!! ESSENTIAL BOMPALICIOUSNESS!!!! if you like that raw HUMMAFUNK, then you will enjoy this immensely.

(stankyfunkfootnote: the last track........think PETE ROCK and CL SMOOTH.)

Great Caribbean Funk! .......2007-01-23

First off, the album is along the lines of 70's James Brown, War, etc, etc... It's neat to hear how funk influenced music all over the world (I immediately think of Fela Kuti), and this album doesn't disappoint. Every track is invocative of funk music, with plenty of brass, nice guitar solos, and I especially enjoyed the lead singer - he has an undeniable Caribbean accent, but it just adds to the uniqueness of the sound. The only drawback for me personally was the lack of drawn out jamming, which, again, is totally a personal thing - I like long, drawn out music. I totally recommend this album to any fan of the JBs, the Meters, and the list could go on and on.

Flunked Recess...........2006-10-26

This is album deserves 6 stars. You gotta love these rhymes, beats, subject matter, etc. Actually EVERYTHING! MURS doesn't even belong in the underground. This guy has more skills than 95% of all rap artists. He doesn't claim to be a gangster or a baller, just a man. Murs is the true people's champ! What more can I say? If you are a true hip hop/rap fan, this belongs in your catalog. Let me end this review with just an example of how tight his rhymes are: "First I gotta let you know that I flunked recess,
Aint no time for me to play when I gotta be fresh." Plenty more from where that came from......

Great Album.......2006-08-05

Wow!!! If you are into hard hitting lyrics with actual meaning, then Murs comes correct. It's nice to see someone in the rap game coming with actual meaning and does not care if it's mainstream. A wonderful breath of fresh air from the hip hop world. Murs puts it down for Southern California. His lyrics flow over endless beats that hit home with true lyricism. An instant classic that has the feel of old school hip hop. A must listen!!

Murs is craaaazy.......2006-03-29

This CD starts off with the track "You and I" a song where Murs brings listeners up to date on his life. This is a dope first track cause it's not your typical intro, it's kind of like when you haven't seen someone for a long time and you bring the other person up to date. The next song is an actually interlude by Ohio's own Mr. Dibbs, which features some pretty dope sampling and some strange sounds, it's a worthy intro for the rest of the album. What Do You Know is the next song which features some machine-gun flow, however when Murs says, "A really dope beat" I think he's kidding, cause the beat is VEEERY basic, pretty much the minimal for a Def Jux production. The Night Before is a sick track about the advancement of underground hip-hop in Cali. Transitions of a Rider is another track worthy of note, about people in California who don't gangbang. Risky Business is a sick track basically reminiscent of the movie Risky Business, but Humpty-Hump is in it and he makes the track worthy of note. The songs imbetween here and my favorite song on the CD Got Damned are all very good. But I really don't want to go into all of them. Got Damned is a song about the struggle Murs faces being a black rapper in a white rapper dominated underground. How his black fans are pissed he has white fans, and how he's trying to get as big as possible without selling out. He also states in the song how he manages to transcend all of it and make good music. Without a doubt this is the best track on the CD.

This entire CD is awesome,with extensive collaborations, decent beats, and most importantly awesome lyrics by Murs as per usual. You should definetly pick up this CD if you're a fan of "Sitcom Rap" as Murs calls it, or rap about everyday life.

Stop Sleeping-This Dude is Nice!!!!.......2006-03-02

I was introduced to Murs a little over a year ago. I first heard of him during one of my daily quests for hip hop knowledge on the internet, and after doing some homework on him I decided to pick up one of his CD's. Murs has since become one of my favorite rappers (my other favorites include 2pac, Big Pun, Dre from Outkast, Jay-Z, The Gza, and Black Thought-just to drop some names). Murs is probably the most honest rapper I've ever heard. He speaks his mind, and he will rap about any subject. He has some interesting and controversial viewpoints, and I tend to agree with most of them. Dude is a very versatile emcee. The first Murs cd I purchased was Murs 3:16 the 9th Edition, which is a great cd in its own right, but overall I probably like The End of The Beginning better. I can relate to a lot of the subject matter on this cd.

The highlights of this cd include:
1) You and I --basically a summary of his rap career to this point
3) I know -- great track where Murs shares some of his viewpoints of view on life--without sounding like he is preaching
4) The Scuffle --track that was probably designed to get some s*** off of his chest
5) Last Night -- Autobiographical track where Murs tells reveals some of his episodes in his neighborhood. Great production as well.
8) Risky Business -- About girls and partying-simple but well done
10) Gods work -- Personal accounts about work, touring, and women
18) Done Deal -- Feel good track of the album

I have to admit there a couple of tracks with wack production, but the good songs far outnumber the bad ones. The lyrics on this cd are great though, and Murs always finds interesting topics to rap about. Dude is not your typical emcee, but that is what makes him so good.

While underground heads are already familiar with Murs, he is definitely not yet getting the recognition he deserves. Do yourself a favor and add this one to your cart. This dude is the best rapper you haven't heard of - yet.

Murs joins the Definitive Jux family.......2005-05-03

I was first exposed to Murs from the album he made with Slug, "Felt - A Tribute to Christina Ricci" (2002). I then later saw him perform with Slug on the "Scribble Jam 7" video. That amazing 30 minute performance was enough to make me get off my a$$ and check out some of his work. Murs has been making music for 10 years prior to this album. It's pretty shocking that he hasn't found his true fan base yet. He makes hardcore underground gangster rap music, and it seems that only white kids (for the most part) are listening. Maybe it's because he raps with a lot of white guys. Maybe it's because he's into things like skateboarding instead of playing "ball". Either way, I'm happy that I was able to make the discovery. Upon first listen, I was shocked at the amount of skill he possessed. I do like the way he raps about everyday life. His lyrics are extremely interesting without being overbearing in the slightest. Murs doesn't take his music lightly. In fact he takes his music as serious as the likes of Slug, Brother Ali, and Eyedea; maybe even more (he played 200 shows/dates in 2003). He's a rap veteran that is showing absolutely no signs of stopping. He's got the art of storytelling down to a science. Murs is one cocky emcee. He has no problem telling people he's the best, and I've yet to see him fail at proving himself. Especially when he killed Eyedea in a "practice" battle before the scheduled MC battle of the "Scribble Jam 9" video. He constantly proves that he's a force to be reckoned with.

The amount of variety on this album is what makes it so appealing. Whether he's talking about the regurgitation of the music industry, crime, or partying when his parents aren't home, he's always on key. The riveting philosophy and commentary is what makes Murs so interesting. "You & I" kicks off the album with some great lyrics like this one: "Straight low budget I was underground thuggin' it / You think I gave a f*** about a publicist? NO!" Murs is at his best on songs like "What Do You Know?" and "The Night Before...". Check out this lyric: "Last night I almost got shot on my block / Not the block where I live at, the block where I chill at / Where I keep it real at, and used to pack steel / At times I feel it's the spot I'll get killed at". But one of my current favorites is where Murs raps about his love for skateboarding on "Transitions az a Ridah," where the rhythm is made up of skateboards sweeping in and out of ramps. Aesop Rock lends a hand on "Happy Pillz," which definitely stands out. "Risky Business" features our buddy Shock G (aka Humpty Hump) and Murs throwing a phat party while his parents are out of town. I also like "BT$" a lot. There seriously isn't a throw-away track in the bunch. And with a slew of producers by the likes of El-P, Ant, and RJD2, this album is a classic in the making.

Overall, Murs has quite the interesting personality. He will open your eyes, and make you smile with his humorous wit. The issues are thought provoking and alluring. Up until now, all I knew about Murs was the buzz and the hype that surrounded him. Now I will be adding to the hype with high praise.

the best music ever.......2004-02-19

My daughter ( at age 17) bought this CD and played it at home. I instantly fell in love with the music. It is the most incredible music I have ever listened to. I put it on my computer so that every time I am on
-line I can listen to it.

Greatest hits of classical music.......2001-08-13

The use of the words "from the Movies" in the title of this compilation is misleading. While there are a handful of titles that were great originals from movies (the Star Wars theme, for example), the majority of the music is simply great classical music that happened to show up in a movie. This technicality aside, the music was amazing. The clarinet concerto and the Puccini opera from "Witches of Eastwick" are two of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

An excellent collection of classic music from great movies.......2001-08-03

I belong to that camp of people who think that if Mozart was alive today he would be writing scores for theatrical films. The best thing about "Music From the Movies" is that it combines the use of classical music in movies, such as Wagner's "The Ride of the Valkyries" in "Apocalypse Now" and Puccini's "O Mio Babbino Caro" in "A Room With a View" with John Williams' "Main Title" from "Jurassic Park" and the "John Dunbar Theme" from John Barry's score for "Dances With Wolves." Unfortunately of the 33 tracks on this 2-disc set, only the last half-dozen or so are by contemporary composers. So the chief charm of this collection remains that it allows you to identify the classic music used in movies such as "Platoon," "A Clockwork Orange," "Wall Street," and "Kolya." Placido Domingo and Herbert Von Karajan are representative of the singers and conductors included in this collection, which is truly one of the better sets featuring classical music in the movies.

This is nourishment for the soul!.......2001-06-04

I ordered this CD to get one piece of music only. What I received in reality was a compilation of masterpieces to refresh and enliven my very soul. The operatic selections are well known pieces performed by 'the great ones' (i.e Placido Domingo). Here you get the best of opera without having to endure what the uneducated would consider tendious. Additionally, I was surprised to discover how many movies themes were excerpts from the classics. This CD includes the name and movement of each selection, as well as the performer. It is a wonderful appetizer before investing in a full meal. I didn't begin with this intention, but now I want to hear complete pieces; anticipating a new excitment for many of the composers.

Product Description

God Is An Astronaut is an Irish band that has existed for more than four years. The end of the beginning is their debut cd which features eleven tracks recorded during 2002 to 2004 as well as being enhanced with three videos. God is an Astronaut sounds like a band name that would belong to a three chord garage band from America, rather than a dreamy chill-out lo-fi threepiece from Dublin. It s not dancey enough to be called dance music, and yet while dabbling generously in electronica at times, it offers a much fuller sound than the brittle sparsity and atmospheric minimalism we ve come to expect from the genre. What we get in return is a much more melodic and immediate record. Title track, The End of the Beginning, weighs in with a swirling ethereal opening before it s direction is pinned down by throbbing beats and a melodic guitar line. The stunning Coda is built around a near post-rock guitar motif, while Remembrance follows a similar outline; although this time God is an Astronaut choose piano as the glue to paste their ambient layers together. Point Pleasure is possibly the highlight, changing direction to a fervent interlude midway through which completely alters the track. Route 666 is closer to the more digitised glitchy electronica that s fashionable at the moment, but it s still couched in heavy beats and a great rhythm, while closing track Lost Symphony clings to a subtle and brooding bass-line. At times it echoes The Human League, and once or twice it soaks up the heady dub rush of Massive Attack, and the solar landscapes on the new UNKLE album. Indeed, you get the feeling on some tracks like Point Pleasure and the intro of Fall from the Stars that very serious attention has been paid to the likes of Blue Lines and Protection when writing up their list of creative influences.

Album Description

Debut full length. God Is An Astronaut are an instrumental, post-rock three piece hailing from the Glen of the Downs, Co. Wicklow, Ireland. They formed in 2002.

Album Details

2007 Debut Album from the Critically Acclaimed Irish Trio of Torsten Kinsella (Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards), Niels Kinsella (Bass, Guitars, Visuals) and Lloyd Hanney (Drums, Synths). Their Ethereal, Mostly Instrumental Music Builds from Ambient Bases to Intense Melanges of Sound that Could Definitely Be Considered Part of the "Prog Rock" Movement of the Noughts.

Amazon.com essential recording

In his lifetime, maverick composer Charles Ives entered the recording studio only four times, mostly to hear (and tinker with) his works in progress. He ended up doing 42 takes of 17 different pieces on the piano, all recorded between 1933 and 1943: everything from snippets of the unfinished Emerson Concerto to his rousing wartime anthem "They Are There!" It's a varied lot, to say the least, but now we have his complete recordings on one CD. The sound quality isn't great and you can easily hear how frustrated Ives is by the newfangled technology (recording techniques restricted his playing to five minute chunks). That said, you couldn't ask for a greater insight into the composer.

Most of these pieces derive from Ives's unfinished Emerson concerto for piano and orchestra, but the entire package is one big treasure chest. Here we have the composer at work: improvising, (occasionally) frustrated, frenzied, and--most of all--creative. His playing is as off-the-wall as you can imagine: fast, improvised, with failed notes galore, and occasionally spot-on. Highlights abound--just check out "The Alcotts" from the Concord Sonata (No. 2) to hear him at his performance peak--but the most memorable cuts feature Ives himself singing. His three versions of the wartime anthem "We Are There!" should give hope to any struggling vocalist... for a career either selling insurance or composing great music. Yes, his voice is simply awful, but the music and history contained on this disc are breathtaking. --Jason Verlinde

Customer Reviews:

Interesting, historically important CD.......2005-08-16

To hear Ives play his own works is a real treasure. Of course, the recording quality is spotty at best, and the tracks recorded on the Speak-O-Phone are sometimes almost unbearable to hear.

But other tracks have excellent sound and you can catch Ives at his creative and offbeat best.

Those willing to bear with the sound limitations will be well rewarded when they hear the final track 42, which is particularly beautiful and because it comes indirectly from a tape transfer has better sound quality.

man and machine.......2002-04-09

This is a fantastic peek at the complexities of the recording art.. Charlie was lucky to have access to recording technology, and yet it was quite frustrating for him.

Easy to forget the 'miracle.' John Kirkpatrick once told me that his recording of the Concord required something like 43 different 'takes' (if you will); I guess I had assumed it was just one run through.

I'm grateful for all the 'Emerson' here. It is my favorite part of Concord. I heard some of these recordings back in '73, and they really have been lovingly upgraded. Thank you for making these available to us.

Ives speaks for himself, better late than never........2001-12-07

Shades of Cecil Taylor! This collection flies in the face of attempts to create "definitive" performance scores for Ives' compositions. The composer who imagined a world without symphony orchestras, where one simply thought-created the music while contemplating nature, can hardly be tied down to an engraving of notes. It wasn't only the skill to perform his compositions that Ives demanded of musicians, but the spirit to enter into them - a conceptual understanding & a will to get at them from the inside out.

I still believe Charlie was willfully naive & had a neurotic fear of success. While he looked over his shoulder at the "Rollos" of American music, as if they mattered, he missed out on the emergence of the very generation of composers & artists who were his exact, or nearly exact, contemporaries. There was no Armory Show in Ives' world; no Alfred Stieglitz; no Ezra Pound or William Carlos Williams; no Arensberg salon. He worked himself half to death & shamelessly let younger men do the heavy lifting of his reputation. This recording shows how revelatory Ives might have been to Europeans, had he gone to bat "over there" for his own art when he was both healthy & wealthy. Ives took a great gamble with his art. Thank heavens it paid off.

Recordings of a Twentieth Century Master.......2001-11-06

The preceeding descriptions of the music are good. I just wanted to add this: The playing and singing of '...They are there!' that Ives demonstrates towwards the end of the disc is some really musicially sensitive stuff. It is what Charles Ives is all about; no 'rollo,' no inhibitions, just playing and expression without self consciousness. I would very strongly recommend this recording to anyone who improvises and anyone who composes; you really should hear this. However, for anyone, hearing genius at the piano is good fun and very interesting...

Precious moments with America's greatest composer........2000-05-12

The millenium's over, the ballots are in, and the winner of the Most Important Twentieth Century American Composer title is--still--Charles Ives. Ives was a great composer with his own voice, a lofty vision, and sense of humor besides. He was also a nationalist, but in the best way, overtly embracing the music which meant the most to his countrymen--hymns, popular tunes, the mainline classics--and adapting it for his own use.
Ives' music is likely among the most complicated ever put on a page, and generations of musicians have wondered if they had broken Ives' code and were playing it the way he wanted it. Wonder no more! This CD presents rare examples of Ives playing his own stuff. The good news is that performers pretty much had it right. The bad news is that the music here is strictly for the Ives fanatic. Don't start your Ives recording collection here. Even with the most ingenious digital enhancement, the sound quality is generally poor and way too much time is spent on those damnable Emerson studies and other recondite repertoire. But the performances of "They are there," are a lot of fun, and the reading of "The Alcotts" is revelatory. So is that enough to make the CD worth getting? Darned right!!

JYB be doing it...........2002-02-07

JYB has been one of the best bands in the D.C. Metro Area. Not just because they cranke, but they show love to all the crews and bands. JYB put's it down every nite when they play at any venues in DC or MD. This CD is a must have for anybody that loves GO-GO. The cd crankes from start to finish. People have been sleeping one the JYB but as a fan since i can remember they will have alot in store in the next few years... JYB the best band in D.C.

Friday Nights at the Taj Mahal.......2001-06-27

JYB are the ruffest, tuffest GoGO band from the Southeast section of the Nation's Cap and they go hard on this one. This is almost like a history lesson for those who never seen JYB or those who never ruffed it off. It starts with the old days of them hittin' that city funk on homemade drums all the way to the late 80's "Sardines" days and winds up at the dynamic Taj Mahal nightclub. I used to see them there every Friday night back in 96 and 97 and it was the most dangerous, funky, freaky and enjoyable party in the country. For those who are'nt from DC, GoGo may not be your thing but it is infectious, so check this out as an hardcore intro and any thing else you can find from Junkyard, Backyard, Rare Essence or Chuck Brown.

Hottest Go-Go Album since Backyards Frist ablum.......1999-12-07

I That this album is on point I have always love Junk and They are back with some new songs for the clubs and radio stations here in DC. I just cant wait to here more from the Jy-MOB They are holding it down to be fresh on the seen. My Joint is the new Hee Haw"Wink aka WinkDog of the BarryFarmes Crew is on Congo's holding it down and "Kadee aka Bigkentland of 75th'ave is on drums is breaking a sweat back there!
