With his sensational score to the third Ocean's movie, David Holmes sends the cool-o-meter into the red zone--if the film itself matched his explosive cues, it'd be the most stylish, kinetic thing Hollywood had produced in eons. (You, the viewer, will be the judge of that.) Though Holmes did good work on the previous two Ocean's entries, he's outdone himself this time around. Never mind that the action is set in Vegas: The vibe here is Swinging London seen through psychedelia-tinted lenses, and augmented with wacked-out Ennio Morricone touches and late '60s/early '70s va-va-voom funk. Every track brims with finger-snapping details, like the great bass line on "Zippo," the cool bongos-and-horns combo on "Earthquake," or the aggressive battle royale between electric guitar and synthesizer on "Fender Roads." Holmes takes a break for a couple of numbers in the middle: Puccio Roelens' insane cover of "Caravan" and Isao Tomita's switched-on early-'70s interpretation of Debussy on the Moog synthesizer. Tucked at the end is the CD's token nod to Vegas, Frank Sinatra's take on Lee Hazlewood's "This Town." Just listen to the horns on this baby: They explode out of the speakers. It'd be easy to say that they just don't make music like this anymore, but actually David Holmes just did. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

Ocean's Thirteen is the third actioncomedy-thriller in the blockbuster series that began with 2001's Ocean's Eleven, which grossed nearly $200 million in the U.S. alone, and continued with 2004's Ocean's Twelve, which racked up more than $125 million at the U.S. box office. The critically acclaimed soundtrack albums for both movies won BMI Film Music Awards for inventive techno-funk composer David Holmes. Both on screen and on album, Ocean's Thirteen epitomizes the cinema of cool.

Duped again by the word "Soundtrack".......2007-07-30

I agree with the above reviewer that i have also enjoyed all the Oceans sountracks to date and Ocean Thirteen is no exception. the problem is that the term soundtrack implies that the songs heard in the Trailer and Movie would be on the CD. This CD is/would better labled as "The Score" with a few extra songs by additional artists.
Not nearly what i was expecting, but still enjoyable.

Missing Opening Song.......2007-07-22

This soundtrack is excellent, as expected, with great songs that perfectly fit the scenes and the drama of the movie. However, there's at least one missing song, as always happens with soundtracks...
"Neil Richardson - The Riviera Affair" is the song played in the opening credits.

Slick, fun and fabulous.......2007-06-18

All of the "Ocean's" movies have incredible music, and "Ocean's Thirteen" is no exception. The music is so unique: jazz, funk and techno all rolled into one. My biggest complaint is that most of the tracks are incredibly short (under two minutes in length), but that's the case with most movie soundtracks. The best tracks on this album are "Not Their Fight," which is a variation of the theme music used in all the "Ocean's" movies; "Snake Eyes," which is the music that plays in the film during the ingenious three-minute heist scene; and Frank Sinatra's utterly fantastic rendition of "This Town." The "Ocean's" movie soundtracks are always as slick as the films themselves. I'll listen to this CD again and again.

Settle Some Confusion.......2007-06-17

This is a great soundtrack, and I'd thought I'd settle some confusion about the "missing" trailer music. The track is called "Five Diamond Men", and it's exclusive for purchase on iTunes, along with a remix of "This Town" by Frank Sinatra, though there's no reason in hell they should EVER remix a Sinatra song.

Anyway, great album. Too bad about the iTunes exclusive.

Missing Song.......2007-06-16

Mate, if you've been catching the same trailer as I have recently then the song in question is actually from the OST "Out Of Sight" which of course Holmes also scored, his first collaboration with Soderbergh. Not sure of the exact name of the tune but its on there somewhere (if of course we're talking about the same trailer and song!!).
Hope this helps?
I saw the movie last weekend and the soundtrack was one of the highlights for sure but that is always the case with Holmes; he's a legend and I'd give any work of his 6 stars if the option was there - fresh, innovative, at times challenging but always, always uber-cool.

Allison and Catherine Pierce are from Alabama, they're sisters, they're rather attractive, one of them is supposedly (as of this writing) dating someone from the Strokes, and as kids they were both "accomplished" ballerinas. Together they make some pretty fine, artsy pop with provocative lyrics vaguely in the vein of Regina Spektor. Thirteen Tales is the first album the duo has made with their own say-so; their earlier records were pleasant if innocuous, slicked-up folk. There's a dramatic flair to their country-inflected orchestral New Wave folk-pop. With its doubled-up and contemporary-sounding pop vocal style, the macabre "Secrets" sounds like the soundtrack to a Tim Burton movie with words written by Dame Darcy, as sung by half the members of the Pussycat Dolls. If anything, they're a little too ambitious on their third album. With each track assigned its own stylistic variation (however slight), the album is scattered as a whole. But this is definitely a super entertaining duo, one to watch out for. --Mike McGonigal

Thirteen tales of love and revenge.......2007-07-15

I am a new fan of The Pierces, a sister act. I have read a lot of good reviews about the group The Pierces which got my attention. I was curious to hear their music. I recently picked up their latest cd THIRTEEN TALES OF LOVE AND REVENGE. I am absolutely hooked. The music is catchy and a lot of fun to listen too. I guess I would describe their music as indie pop. The lyrics are as quirky and playful as their music is. The group uses a lot of interesting instruments on through out the album like the glockenspiel, Hawaiian lap steel, slide whistle, sitar, and autoharp which you wouldn't hear on your typical pop album. THIRTEEN TALES OF LOVE AND REVENGE is anything but your typical pop album. The lyrics are laced with bitterness and anger over relationships that went sour. The sisters' vocals reminds me a bit of Gwen Stefani (like on "Lights Up"), Alanis Morrisette, and Fiona Apple but for the most part they have their own style of singing. I usually am not fond of when music critics fawn over certain artists because they tend to not live up to their hype but this is not the case with The Pierces. The critics were spot on with this talented duo.

Perfect suggestion by amazon.com.......2007-05-23

I had never heard of the Pierces before and came across this album on amazon.com, it was listed as a suggestion for me based on my previous likes and purchases. I have to say, what a great way to find out about them! It fits my eclectic taste perfectly, it is sometimes sweet, has tongue-in-cheek humor and conveys many different moods. These girls are amazing, I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Awesome CD.......2007-05-13

Awesome CD! Highly recommended! And if it weren't for Amazon, I wouldn't have it because it's not available in stores in my area.

Great CD.......2007-05-13

Love this. I listen to it all the time. I heard about it from a magazine and bought it on a whim.

Shockingly good!.......2007-05-09

The newest album of The Pierces called "Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge" is chocolat for the ears! Their lyrics are funny, bold and kinky in an innocent-school-girl kind of way. It is like the novel "Special Topics in Calamity Physics" by Marisha Pessl put into music! Shockingly good!

Amazon.com's Best of 2000

"I wear my influences like a f***ing badge," proclaims lead singer-songwriter Courtney Taylor regarding Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia. But while the Dandy Warhols liberally steal Rolling Stones riffs, Iggy Pop vocals, Britpop sonic surfing, and even Burt Bacharach horn sections, they give it back in spades, delivering one of the best rock albums of 2000: a masterpiece of sex, beauty, strife, and wry, raunchy-cool attitude. --Beth Massa

Amazon.com

The long hiatus that led to the Dandy Warhols' masterful third album, Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia, promoted leaps-and-bounds growth in this already excellent band's music. Layers, layers, and more layers of guitars coexist here with trippy soundscapes, doot-doo-doo choruses, and even an eyebrow-cocked nod to hip-hop ("Yo, bitch," frontman Courtney Taylor mutters, sounding like Lou Reed reading an Ice Cube lyric sheet). By turns galloping, propulsive, hushed, and majestic, this is music that openly steals--from the Stones, Kinks, and Cars, among others--while fusing its sources into a unique whole of its own. Taylor lives up to the wide-screen promise of the disc's title, offering a series of what Game Theory once called "pointed accounts of people you know." The characters here brag about how they "got a beautiful new Asian girlfriend" ("Solid"), live the bicoastal high life in "itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny ridin'-up-your-butt bikini[s]" ("Horse Pills"), seek reassurance that an affair is "just a casual, casual, easy thing" ("Bohemian Like You"), and offer advice in the middle of a breakup argument: "Hey, man, turn that shit off." Seedily glamorous and replete with the best vocal asides since Jarvis Cocker let it bleed all over Pulp's Different Class, Thirteen Tales will convince you that rock is alive--and that you should still care. --Rickey Wright

Album Details

Third Album, the follow up to 1998's 'Come Down', which produced two singles: 'Everyday Should Be a Holiday'& 'Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth'. This new album adds further depth to the band's sound. It's the most complete D.W. record to date.

Customer Reviews:

Their best so far; a good choice for Dandy's newbies.......2007-07-11

I think this is the best Dandy Warhols album so far, and I like the band a lot. "13 Tales" is much more solid than the previous "Come Down" and consistently better songwriting. If you don't know their music, this album is a tasty starting point.

It is a rockin' album, but it is very dynamic - from quieter and melodic tunes to 'balls to the wall' blasts of fuzz and distortion intended to annoy neighbors. Song-writing varies from fairly simple and repetitive (Nietzche) to clever songs with hooks, complex chord structure, and intricate harmonies. At times dissonant, at others sweetly harmonious, and sometimes a bit of both. Harsh fuzz guitar sounds are mixed with clear, ringing acoustic guitars.

The album's sound is basic alt-rock, but draws from a variety of classic bands (Stones, Iggy Pop, Velvet Underground and others). They add a unique sound, sensibility, and tongue-in-cheek attitude that makes it refreshingly their own. There even hip-hop beats on one track. Some tracks are deliberately dissonant, others with sweet harmonies. It is the musical variety here that makes this one fun to listen to from top to bottom, meriting many listens without getting old or sounding the same.

What makes this album great is the wide range of sounds and styles, and the fact that there's not a bad track on it. The songs are seg'ed together to give a nonstop music experience, great for listening to the whole album. The seg transitions make for disruptive transitions on mix tapes, unless you do some editing.. When you play the entire album on most mp3 or computer music players, there is a brief gap in the transition as the player switches from one to the next track, unless you have gapless playback capabilities (like foobar2000, or are playing directly from the CD). For that reason I ripped the mp3s both separately and altogether as one track.

Tracks:

The first three tracks ("Godless", "Mohammed, "Nietche") are a powerful opening, starting slow and gaining strengthy until finally bursting out all over with "Nietchzhe"... a splendid trio. "Country Traveller" comes next. It's a great country-ish song on its own, but in terms of the mood it's an about face from where they took us with the first three.

The most obvious pop singles are "Bohemian Like You" (which got some airplay) and "Get Off" (which I have not heard on the radio). "Solid" and "Horse Pills" are hilarious snarky tunes that would be more at home on college radio.

The closing track, "The Gospel", is my least favorite, because it is slow and somber, and because it marks the end of a great album. But overall, there isn't a bad track on the album, though of course some are stronger than others.

There are various CD singles you can get from Amazon delears featuring tracks from this album. The title cuts on the singles are identical to the album tracks, so it is the alternative versions that are the reason to buy them. "Godless (mix)," from the "Horse Pills" single, reworks the song considerably. I like the result a lot - not better than the original, but as much as I like the song it's fun to hear a reimagined version.

I would give the album 4 1/2 stars if it were available. I usually reserve 5 stars for one of the best albums of all time. Objectively, I don't think that it is, because the quality varies; subjectively, it is certainly one of my essential favorite albums.... so 5 stars here.

One hit wonder?.......2007-05-07

This band is known to be a one hit wonder in Europe. Since one of it's most well known hit, A Bohemian Like You, has been used for a commercial (Vodafone, around the year 2000). Unfair, because this band has more to offer than just that.

If a equasion should be made, I would say it is a mixture of The Stones, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed. Loungy when it comes to numbers like "sleep" and energatic when it comes to songs like "Solid". A CD you can listen to when driving the country. Singing along with "a Bohemian Like You" and leaving the gas closed when listening to things like "Nietzsche".

I, for one, am very hapy to have obtained this cd. It will be one of those which is at the front row in my collection!

Buy this album now!.......2007-04-19

Just to add a few words to echo most of the other reviews. Yes, there are a couple of weaker songs, so really it's not a perfect five stars, but it's close. As a whole, the album plays well and seems to be a rarity these days: an album that evokes a mood and makes sure all of its songs follow it. Most albums out there are a collection of songs thrown together. This group knows how to write listenable music. You won't be disappointed.

This Album Is Incredible.......2007-03-04

I'll keep it short: If you need an album to strut around town feeling cooler than everyone else while listening, this is the one to do it with.

However, if the Dandys are going to do country, they really need to keep it off the front-porch hoedown vibe (Country Leaver), and keep it more on a "wearily crawling the dusty trail home after seeing some spirit visions" mentality (The Gospel). The latter is done really well, while the former is done poorly at best.

Country Leaver is really the only downside to this record, but do not let that dissuade you from getting one of the best indie rock records ever made.

I don't smoke...but I just may need a cigarette.......2007-02-27

The Dandy Warhols take a lot of guff for being posed, insincere, and party-addled. The irony is thick enough to use as a construction material: it is in fact this appearance of pose that IS the pose. Ultimately, the joke is not on the listener, though, as the post-Velvets/post-13th Floor Elevators confections that they (regularly) drop with such casual nonchalance betray a workmanship and a sensitivity to songwriting that tips its hand. This is not a band of party-hardy dilettantes, but an informed and eclectic group of talented musicians who probably have stupefyingly impressive record collections. They (wisely) steer clear of change-the-world soapboxing and churn out anthem after anthem -- and "13 Tales" is their magnum opus (so far).

There are weaker tracks, where the pose is overplayed, like "Horse Pills" or "Solid." But on the whole, "13 Tales" carefully balances bombast with craft in such a seductive way that lyrical foibles are quickly forgiven and the cohesive, anthemic whole -- thick with winking guitar and snaky organ riffs -- becomes as satisfying as morning sex.

Heroes of the other side of Amerika?.......2007-07-27

Having heard "The Kid from Belmont Street" and the instrumental "El Tiradito", I was anxiously awaiting this release. As I feared though, those have ended up being the only two tracks that I'll regularly play. The others have this alt-folk-country sound that has been done before and better, by the way, by others. There is nothing particularly special about the lyrics either, although you might think so if you've never gotten out much. If this type of music really turns you on, then I suggest you get the solo releases of Mark Lanegan. Your head might just explode.

A Daring and Solid Offering!.......2007-07-03

This album unabashedly defies categorization as Richmond Fontaine further creates their own idiom of musical expression: part americana, folk, prose laced with tragedy, transcendence and narrative innocence, multicultural blues, and so forth.

By any means, see them perform live. You will be forever changed.

Thirteen Cities is a work of growth and change. RF has been evolving consistently for many respectable years now, and this album is nothing short of their brilliant artistic evolution. Thirteen Cities is unlike anything I have ever heard before (cohesively) and I can't begin to compare it to any other artist or category of music, so I'll try not... to try. Okay, so the lyrical (or literary) themes share a common thread with their past efforts, and it weaves the fabric that holds these works together. Every track is uniquely different, while Mr Vlautin's vox are immediately recognizable, as is his well-grounded writing. Each number invokes a different mood while somehow keeping a similar, complimentary flavor on the aural palate... some evocatively sublime, to the verymost downtrodden disturbing perils of life. Always served with a huge slice of heart, raw truth, clarity and compassion; the experience of listening remains in flux as you take the aural journey that awaits you.

Some of the songs do hearken back to the band's earlier material (which is a nice hook to hang ones' hat on). The real surprises are the departures via (surprisingly musical) spoken-word pieces and atmospheric instrumentation/angles.

With each successive listening, I find myself delving deeper into the subtle nuances of RF's latest creation. A daring and solid offering- hats off to all the guys in Richmond Fontaine for delivering a really refreshing slab of inquisitve American country soundscapes.

Another fantastic release from Richmond Fontaine.......2007-06-27

Briefly put, Thirteen Cities finds a great balance between the musical style of previous albums (Winnemucca and Post to Wire) and the somber storytelling of The Fitzgerald. Sound quality has also improved markedly over the years. The lyrics represent a fresh batch of stories from another side of America, and the arrangements are creative and unique.
Great album altogether.

A masterpiece.......2007-05-25

Yes, that much over-used word when the likes of Mojo give 3.5 star reviews to records they call masterpieces. But this is an absolute 5-star record. The best rootsy band in America have astonishingly exceeded their past excellence and delivered their best yet. The stories are intact, but surrounded by a broader range of music and pace. There's none of the Husker-go-country of their earlier records but they rock firmly but gently in parts, strum soulfully in others. But above all, even though it might be a marginally more commercial sound, it's an incredibly warm and human record. Cliché alert and possibly mixed metaphor: but the band seem to inhabit the songs like a warm winter coat, and rarely has music, arrangement, song and performance all come together so snugly.

And it's a grower and grower. Whatever you think 1st listen, by 5th you'll like it twice as much and by 10th you'll love it and repeat-play immediately to the 11th.

I'm struggling to find reference points - it's just great songs, and very American-sounding ones to me a Brit. But think of when already-great bands suddenly gel as a unit and step up a notch, usually with great outside help eg producer, and rooted in a particular place/studio: The Band's 2nd LP, Creedence's Willy and the Poor Boys, London's Calling, QotSA's Songs for the Deaf, Tusk, Exile, Steve Earle's El Corazon, Gentlemen by the Afghan Whigs. Thirteen Cities sits alongside these great records with pride and I hope a touch of deserved arrogance.

Oh and whatever you do don't miss them on tour. They've added Paul Brainard who plays pedal steel and trumpet on their records, and what a difference he makes. They still bar-band rock, and even included their brilliant Husker Du cover, but again have stepped up to sound bigger and broader without losing any of their warmth and charm. Hopefully bigger stages await them, they deserve it.

As the Stooges record is a disappointment, I'd place money on this as record of 07, no contest. The gauntlet is thrown.

More often than not, strings have often served as a wet blanket in rock & roll, smothering the rough edges and dampening the enthusiasm. There have been exceptions, though, when a small string section has been used sympathetically on rock & roll songs, sprucing up the rhythms and sharpening the tensions. Perhaps the best examples are the Drifters' "There Goes My Baby," the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," Van Morrison's "Cypress Avenue," Lou Reed's "Street Hassle," and Chic's "Good Times." Alejandro Escovedo's brilliant Thirteen Years is a landmark addition to the latter tradition. Unlike Elvis Costello's "Juliet Letters," which used a string quartet without a rock & roll rhythm section, Thirteen Years marries the dense, sustaining harmonies of the one to the implacable momentum of the other. --Geoffrey Himes

Harrowing. Roots rock to Soutwestern chamber music.......2006-03-23

Vol 1. Concept album on his reaction to the suicide of his lover and the mother of his children. Harrowing if you pay attention. Unlike anything I have ever heard-like, maybe, chamber music by Gram Parsons. But Escovedo's voice is always more interesting. From powerful, roots-based rock & roll to strings-based whatever, from his own Chamber Southwest group. Standouts: tr 4-Way it goes (Country-rock anthem that grows from a quiet personal statement to something resonant and bigger. Lyric: "God bless the child that don't have a mother to put her to sleep."). tr 5-Losing your touch (slamming, anthemic rocker that might have come from the Midwest (Bob Seger) or the Stones). tr 10-Tell me while (seemingly from country weeper by Gram Parsons into Escoveda Chamber Southwest). tr 13-Baby's got new plans (anthem of personal loss with the resonance of a last Indian tribe in New Mexico). tr 14-The end (Lyric: "I've got some questions that need answering.... This is really the end.") [52:25]

Vol. 2. Tender, acoustic, elegiac tracks, including 4 instrumental takes on Vol. 1 tracks; 3 live versions of tracks not on Disc 1, and a rocking take on "Gravity". Stand-outs: tr 8-Helpless (slow funky strut that makes me think about Peggy Lee or the Blasters). tr 9-Mountain of mind (straight-ahead country rocker). [37:45]

Beautiful.......2002-12-05

Using a beautiful strings section, this is a record that never falls in heavy bad taste. As a whole it sounds like an hymn - well, it is. It's an admirable effort in a lyrical way, a haunting and pleasant listen. Some rocking moments are welcome, and excellent ("Losing Your Touch", "Mountain Of Mud").
Bonus CD: four instrumental mixes, and four live songs (a personal version of Lou Reed's "Pale Blue Eyes" among them).
Beautiful cover art, excellent sound, this is a satisfying re-issue.

The most seductive head banger I ever saw - wow!.......1999-06-17

The first time a buddy and I went to see Alejandro Escovedo's Orchestra at OFF BROADWAY in an old south St. Louis neighborhood, we were two of 20 people in the place, counting the band. It was early 1994, not long after BALLAD OF THE SUN AND MOON was released. Alejandro's band consisted of a lead guitar, bass, drums, violin, two cellos, with himself on rhythm guitar and vocals. Wow! He has such a knack for pulling you into his life very smoothly, right before delivering his knock out punch. What songs, what lyrics, what passion, what virtuoso playing, and what instrument selection. During his live shows Alejandro will lead into songs with a little story, like when Bela Bartok and Iggy Pop got involved, and finish the story in song. When last year's three piece band (AE, viloin, cello) played Iggy's DO THE DOG, the entire place was quivering. We have continued to watch Alejandro grow, and suddenly so have many others. All of AE's music is strong, but my first experience with BALLAD OF THE SUN AND THE MOON is still my favorite.

A sad, quirky look at love, lost and found........1999-06-04

Alejandro wrote this album mostly as a dedication to his late ex-wife. The words and music convey not only the problems she and they may have had but also the love he felt for her.

This was the first Escavedo album I bought and that was at a concert of his. It was the first show I had ever seen where I actually got chills, the music was that beautiful. A cello, violin and traditional rock instruments blended for an incredible evening. From that point I was a confirmed Alejandro fan. This album just made me a lifetime fan. Get it today, along with all his albums, you will not be dissapointed.

A greatly expanded Huelgas Ensemble performs here a collection of multivoice works--pieces that are often referred to but, for logistical reasons, rarely performed. Tallis's famous Spem in alium non habui for 40 voices is here, of course; so is the piece that inspired it, Striggio's 40-voice Ecce beatam lucem. Also included are two extraordinary canons: Ockeghem's 36-voice Deo gratias and Josquin's 24-voice Qui habitat--as well as relatively modest pieces for 13 to 16 voices by Porta and Gabrieli. Spem has had livelier performances (try the Tallis Scholars on Gimell), but none of the others have been recorded elsewhere at all, let alone as well as this. You're not likely to hear them in concert, either, so check this disc out. --Matthew Westphal

Warning: will cause jaws to gape!.......2007-08-07

The music and performance are trully breathtaking. When I recieved this disc I was in a bit of a stressed mood. I put it on to provide 'pleasant background music'. My stereo was left a little louder than I usually have it set and the CD player was on Shuffle. Track 3, DesPrez "Qui habitat" randomly came up--within seconds I was breathless because I did not want to breathe and interfere with the music I was floating on! If you are like me when listening to this Album you'll need a handkerchief or a rag of some sort to wipe the drool from your chin!

It's worth the asking price for the Ockeghem offering alone.

Paul van Nevel and the Huelgas Ensemble have nearly achieved "Utopia" with this performance. BRAVO!

Well-balanced choral work .......2007-05-28

I admit I bought two versions of Spem In Alium performed by Huelgas Ensemble and the Tallis Scholars. There are strong and weak points in both of the recordings but what strike me most about the Huelgas' interpretation, like other reviewers covered in this review portion (and I completely agree), is its balanced performance of the piece. I could actually hear the forty voices without "drowning" and outdoing each other, unlike the Tallis Scholars' recording. However, some parts of the choral (I'm referring to Spem only) are kind a bit sloppy and technically inferior as compared to the Tallis Scholars' version. Example of this is in the portion of "ET OMNIA PECCATA HOMINUM" followed by a pause and "IN TRIBULATIONE" where the Tallis Scholars captured it best. The portion "RESPICE" is almost a whisper in the Huelgas' recording while the Scholars' interpretation of it is like Tchaikovsky's cannons in his 1819 (is the date right?) Overture, which in my opinion, is the proper interpretation (it is one of the high points of the piece, by the way) and Huelga misses this one. All in all I will rate the Scholars' performance 4 stars for its technicality and 4 stars to Huelgas' for its balanced performance. I'm just wondering if Alessandro Striggios' 60 part choral "Sanctus" survived will give these fine performers something to look forward to recording. I bet it will make Handel look like a first grader in music!!!

Utopia very much Triumphans.......2007-01-23

This magnificent recording is sure to delight all lovers of Renaissance a capella performance. The voices come over clearly and brightly with the interplay of parts easily heard in every piece. The information provided with the CD is sufficiently detailed to more than adequately place the pieces within both historical and musical context. Several of the works (Porta's 'Sanctus', Manchicourt's 'Laudate Dominum') are, I think rarely heard but hold their own well with the more frequently heard works Desprez, Ockeghem and Gabrieli. Of particular interest to me is the performance of Striggio's rarely heard forty part motet Ecce beatam lucem. The opportunity to compare and contrast this fine work with Tallis' own (and much performed) forty part motet Spem in alium is greatly enhanced by the performance notes.

One of the few essential recordings of Renassance polyphony.......2005-05-28

Paul van Nevel and the Heulgas Ensemble convey an intensely intimate yet ultimately powerful impression with this collection of gigantuan polyphonic works of mind boggling contrapunctal complexity. If you thought that some of Bach's four part counterpoint was exceedingly complex then try to get your mind around the fact that here you will find 12 voice, 24 voice - all the way up to 40 voice counterpoint! The audacity of such complexity is infinitely fascinating and utterly hypnotic. Though the mind may boggle in trying to follow the kaleidoscopic display of infinitely complex part writing, these are yet works of just enormous immediacy of emotional and spiritual appeal that makes them a far cry from the academic works they might seem to appear. These works are a testimony to the fact the composers of the Renaissance are every bit the equal of their peers in other arts such as painting and architecture, for in turns of the sheer phenomenal complexity of that these rich works display, the world has never since seen their equal.

The richer sounds of this continental European ensemble in comparison to the relentless purity of English groups is also highly welcome. As usual Paul van Nevel encourages a vocal sound that comes more from the chest giving a darker hued color that also has great expressive warmth. There is no attempt to artificially brighten up the upper registrars by doubling the soprano parts for example. In an age dominated by Cambridge style English cathedral style singing from groups which can sometimes start to sound all the same, it is wonderful to hear a group that dares to occupy so unique and distinctive a sound world as theirs.

The Spem in Alium is a good case in point for the performance here is wonderful and quite unique. As for the claim that this performance of the 'Spem in Alium' is somehow weak, you can safely ignore that. Yes, the Tallis Scholars are still excellent too but there is a place for a less ostentatious and relaxed-intimate 'chamber' approach to this music. The performers even stood forming a circle in church to record these works. Warm and understated poetic intimacy are wonderful virtues that the Huelgas Ensemble always convey in abundance.

In all this is one of the absolutely essential recordings of Renaissance polyphony. It is a must have for anyone who loves fine music and it you only own one recording of Renaissance polyphony this might well be it. It certainly has a firm place on my desert island collection.

Kudos to this group for recording these works. However I can't remember a duller performance of Spem in alium. I have performed the work three times and own several recordings of it. Whether or not you buy this CD depends on your reason for wanting it. If you want to own one recording of Spem in alium, this is not the CD you want. Get the Tallis Scholars' recording instead. If you love polyphony and are looking for a good listening experience, depending on your taste, this one might do, especially if you are looking for something relaxing (i.e., something to put you to sleep). If you are a musicologist with an intellectual interest in multichoral polyphony, and just want to hear the works, and want a performance that is correct, and don't need it to be exciting, this recording is worth the purchase.

Album Description

"Looking for the Moon" marks the first new solo studio CD for adults since 1994 by Tom Paxton, one of the greatest folksingers and songwriters of this century. On this CD, Paxton presents thirteen original songs emphasizing personal themes that encompass modern day life and the current cultural climate. Many compositions concern the inevitable and insidious march of aging and progress and their effects on average citizens. "The Chisholm Trail became the road to Disneyland," rues Tom in his modern day cowboy song, "My Pony Knows the Way." Small communities crumble beneath economic hard times in "Early Snow" and "My Oklahoma Lullaby." Nature's curative powers are given their due in "My River" and "Come Away with Me," and the tides of love carry the tender "Me and a Couple of Angels," "Marry Me Again" and "Easy Now, Easy." "Homebound Train" is a heartbreakingly poignant account of a ten-year-old boy coping with the death of his father. An early version of the CD's most topical song was a computer-age hit as the most downloaded song, for free, on the efolkmusic.com website - "The Bravest" is Tom's tribute to the heroes of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, particularly the firefighters who risked (and lost) their lives in their rescue efforts at the stricken World Trade Center.

Like Paxton's last two "grown-up" solo records, "Looking for the Moon" was produced by veteran producer/musician Jim Rooney, who has also produced CDs for John Prine and Nanci Griffith, the latter of whom adds backing vocals to two tracks here. Anne Hills, a frequent Paxton partner, contributes beautiful soprano vocals behind Tom on five songs. Other supporting musicians include dobro-player Al Perkins (previously with Emmylou Harris's Nash Ramblers, the Flying Burrito Brothers, and Stephen Stills' Manassas), guitarist Mark Howard, who has backed Iris Dement, Nanci Griffith and John Hartford, pianist Mark Wasner, who has written hits for Vince Gill and Garth Brooks, and relative newcomer Tim Crouch, who boosts the Nashville-recorded CD's country tinges with his nimble mandolin and fiddle.

Are you looking for the Moon.......2005-11-23

A great mix of songs. His "The Bravest", a tribute to the fallen firefighters of the 9/11 tragedy is the best that one could ever hope to hear. As a retired firefighter I can tell you that he "nailed" it.

21st century Paxton.......2005-08-16

It is an enjoyable album. However, the witty pointedness present in Tom Paxton's 60's and 70's albums, is gone. Instead there are relevant social comments, a tribute to the fire fighting crews attending the September eleven catastrophe and the odd love song, often performed in a country and western style not present in Paxton's earlier albums.

Understated and very moving.......2005-07-21

An album of lovely, contemplative songs. There are songs of loss, such as "Homebound Train". "Marry Me Again" is a wonderful tribute to lasting love.

McCABE'S #4 - Tom Paxton 02-14-2004.......2004-02-16

This is my personal review of Tom Paxton's concert at McCabe's in Santa Monica on Valentine's night 02/14/2004. This was the first concert at McCabe's for my new girlfriend Julie, who had never seen a folk concert before. I was shocked at how much fun she had, as well as myself, as Tom entertained the audience with catchy small numbers and spotlighting his incredible sense of humor and incorporating fun into his music. Tom performed several of his classic songs, along with new songs from this fine album. My favorites would include the title track, "Homebound Train", "Me and A Couple of Angels" and a fine tribute to the NYC Firefighters who died on 9-11-01 in "The Bravest". Tom also did a couple of numbers for us lovers that night, including a new song "Come Away With Me". Along with Tom, special guests Carolyn Haster and her husband David Bloom joined in to perform a song or two from her incredible music library. Overall, A fine concert from one of folk's best performers. Tom honored a special guest in the audience - a man who helped get Tom (and many other folkies) started at Elektra Records 40 years ago, Mr. Jac Holzman. It was an honor to shake his hand after the show just to say 'thank you' - as well as meeting Tom and introducing him to Julie, who seemed to like very much =) He signed my CD "To Joe, Tom Paxton" - Thanks Tom Paxton for a special night. Peace - JG "Bear"

Park, then Listen.......2002-12-08

The first time I heard this CD was while driving and listening to the local folk music show. One moment I was a middle-aged man in a Volvo running errands, and the next I was a longhaired hippy type sailing down the highway in my VW bus, looking for dragons. By the time I got control back I had driven by my home and was on my way to California. I believe that is called spontaneous regression.

Tom Paxton was about as much a part of my post-adolescent years as was the psychedelic music of the sixties. Back in those days it was important to be stirred up by the music to the point where you all sang along and did strange things like group hugs. And nobody does that with the same evocative flair as Tom Paxton. Nowadays many would consider much of this music as a bit too hokey, but back then it brought a tear to one's eye and woke a bit of revolution in your heart.

It still does. From 'Looking for the Moon' to 'Come Away with Me' these are all touchstone songs - melodic, mostly tender, and easy to sing along with. Don't expect deep anguish or heavy sarcasm. Do expect a lot of wistful tenderness and a surprising musical complexity that underlies was initially seems to be simple tune making. I hope this album touches more people than just those liable to sudden nostalgia attacks. It seems to me that the world would be at least a little improved if more people stopped to listen.

Almost perfect.......2006-07-13

Like others agree, the songs are very diverse yet fit this movie perfectly. It is nice to have such great variety and some quality songs of all genres. However I do agree with the reviewer below me. The score featured throughout the movie (a sad and beautiful acoustic guitar feel) should be featured on this soundtrack because it added a lot to the movie and should be with the other scores. I have been looking for this score also because I really liked it ever since I saw the movie two something years ago. So that is my only complaint. These collection of songs are a pleasure to listen to.

HELP!!.......2006-06-08

hey everyone, first of all wanna say that i loved the movie and loved all the music on it BUT i reallllly need to find out wat that music is that's playing when tracey says "i can't even remember how to spell photographer" and it also plays towards the end when tracey and mel are sleeping in her bed after the huge scene between them and evie and brooke. PLEASE someone help me im desperate to get this music on my ipod...THANKS!! im so annoyed that this isnt on the soundtrack as i feel, and im sure many others feel aswell, that it is the most important score in the movie, playing in the serious scenes that eveyone remembers and thinks "hey wasnt that music in that scene GREAT?" its really bugging me i can't find it ANYWHERE thanks

Album Description

Eagerly anticipated 2007 sophomore album produced by Danton Supple (Coldplay). Contact is the follow-up to their gold selling debut album The Invitation. On the album Thirteen Senses display the vigor of a band on a mission, a passion that was also evident in the live shows from late last year. Alongside the single 'All The Love In Your Hands', tracks such as 'Call Someone', 'Follow Me' and the epic 'Animal' are evidence of a new found drive in the band. Mercury.

BUY IT NOW. If you just heard about this band and you are a fan of Britpop such as Coldplay,Keane,Travis,Embrace or Snow Patrol. This is not just a band who follow the footstep of above list, they have very much of their own fanstastic talent (much more than some bands i've mentioned). After you've purchased and loved it then please go forward to their 1st album 'the invitation'.

GREAT FOLLOW UP.......2007-05-10

This is a great follow up to The Invitation. I can listen to the entire CD without wanting to skip to the next song. They are all very appealing. High notes are "Animal", "Spirals" and the hidden song behind "Ones & Zeros". I hope Thirteen Senses can keep this going where it seems Travis has finally dropped the ball.

Born under a bad sign? Hardly. Tony Furtado's 13th release finds the singer/songwriter/guitarist/banjo master in superb form, unspooling roots music driven by his five- and six-string skills and dusky, emotionally riveting voice. His previous release, These Chains, proved he could compose tunes as powerful as the instrumental covers that often dominated previous discs, and Thirteen's baker's dozen of tracks--all but three written or co-written by Furtado--continue that process. Although it's predominantly acoustic, he fronts a band of veterans that breathes life and adds a terse edge to thought-provoking tunes that mesh personal and world politics with the same deceptive ease as they update Furtado's traditionally oriented beginnings.

The title cut describes the January 2006 Sago mine disaster, in which 12 of 13 men died. It fuses drama and a conventional folk style with lyrics that describe the incident through the eyes of an omniscient poet. Natural tragedy is also the theme of the reflective "California Flood," while a radically rearranged version of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son" transforms the rocker into a soft, spooky hymn that resonates as forcefully as the original. A rendering of Elton John's "Take Me to the Pilot" doesn't fare quite as well, but when Furtado digs into the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again," he changes it from an arena-rock anthem to a rootsy, introspective examination of the duplicity of youth culture. Thirteen is a sparse, mature, relaxed, but far from mellow album that shows Furtado refining his talents as an expressive vocalist, intelligent interpreter, and vivid songwriter who also happens to be an extraordinary guitarist. --Hal Horowitz

Album Description

: "Thirteen" reveals an artist with a great deal on his mind and a full arsenal of skills with which to express his thoughts and feelings in a captivating way. The album features an all-star cast: keyboardists Sean Slade (producer for The Dresden Dolls, Uncle Tupelo, Radiohead) and Jim Dickinson (Stones, Dylan, John Hiatt, Ry Cooder), bassist Dusty Wakeman (Dwight Yoakum, Lucinda Williams), drummer Winston Watson (Dylan, Giant Sand), and Wavelab's Craig Schumacher (Calexico, Neko Case, Iron & Wine), who produced and engineered the album. Furtado makes an exponential leap into the wide open spaces of mythopoetic America, a terrain inhabited by such personal heroes as Cooder, The Band, Creedence, Petty, and Waits. This heartfelt, multi-leveled work completes Tony's ascent from the folk circuit to the big leagues
