5 out of 5 stars SWEEET!.......2003-04-06

Blackball is a sweet band! i recomend getting all their cds if you have the money for it! although since their chords and chord patern are different than that of pop rock it may take a while for the avg. person to get used to it but once you do youll listen to them a lot!!! other bands i recomend are Precious Death (obviously...) and Klank, although klank is not the same genre they have a couple albums that are pretty good, one of my favorite songs is downside [Bleeding-born mix]

-----------------------------------------------------------------
listen and enjoy

4 out of 5 stars More Info.......2000-07-09

I have not heard the eintire CD but i believe that i did hear some of the songs on our radio station and ive been one of their fans for a while. You might look into another CD called PRECIOUS DEATH in actuality this group IS Blackball ( rather Pre-Blackball) only with a diffrent guitarist. It is much more heavy than Hope is (around the level of Stavesacre) but has that distinct Blackball quality to it.

5 out of 5 stars Excelent but it's hard to find.......1999-08-21

I had the tape once but I wore it out. If I could ever find it again, I would but it again. If you like heavy guitar on some songs and a lighter flavor on others, I highly recomend this album

5 out of 5 stars This is a sweet CD........1999-07-19

A nice mix of songs along with a style unmatched by any other bands I give this music cd two thumbs up.

4 out of 5 stars A good cd, but a little too raw at times.......1999-05-25

If you like hard guitar sounds, then you might like this cd. The only problem with it is that some of the songs can be a little repetitive, and some of the the words don't fit with the style of music. Overall, this cd is good, but you might want to look at their newer one. It fits their style better.

4 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 stars--Rocking melodic/modern EP.......2006-03-30

I happened to discover these guys on the Internet in late 1997 or early 1998. Their debut album "Impact" was an absolute melodic rock monster true to the sounds of the 1980s. Well, on this follow-up EP, the sound is quite different but still rocking.

Nowhere on the album is there a melodic anthemic gem like "Supernatural Lover" (from the "Impact" CD), and the EP as a whole is only 21 minutes. These two facts cause me to reduce my grade by half a star. Nonetheless, I love the overall vibe of this CD.

I will highlight the lead track "Stay", which is a monster of a track. This song should have been all over the radio when it came out in 2001. Where was it?? This is a gem of a track that ultimately showcases David Victor's vocal range. While his voice remains very melodic as it was on the first Velocity CD, the style of the track has a very modern vibe. For sure, this track sets the tone for the rest of the EP, right through the last track "Stranger"--which has a slightly slower, moodier vibe than the rest of the CD but with harmonies on the chorus that are spine-tingling.

The best way I can describe this album is melodic vocals (although a little "rougher" in spots, with some distortion included) over modern guitar chords and an overall modern vibe. The vocals are generally based in the '80s, but the music itself fits well right next to any mainstream, straight-ahead rock album of the past decade. Would love to hear more from David Victor and whatever lineup of Velocity he might put together in the future, but I haven't heard any news on these guys in a few years now. A shame for sure, as this is a top-notch outfit based on the two CDs from them I have heard.

2 out of 5 stars :-~.......2003-04-30

In comparison to the previous album "Impact", this new album sounds like a weekend recording job. Overall songwriting skill is purely mediocre and immature. Lyrics are self-pitying and childish, corresponding well to the thoughts of an infatuated teenager.

5 out of 5 stars VELOCITY - STAY 'n ALIVE!!!.......2001-05-03

Well if you're a fan of SOLID QUALITY - 'melodic rock' then you MUST buy this cd! David Victor's talent shines through once again in Velocity's latest release!

I for one was quite impressed with the 'updated' sound of VELOCITY. David's songwriting has always been solid, but he seemed to capture the essence of 'his' sound (WOW...that VOICE!!!) adding a bit more testosterone with an even bigger chunkier sound (if that's possible).

I think ACTIVATOR is the answer to TODAY's music fans as well as the 80's fans that are looking for a new band that ROCKS TODAY but isn't stuck in the 80's! I myself am both an 80's fan and a fan of current rockin' bands! This is the FIRST cd that I've played for friends that like both eras that I've gotten the SAME reaction from - EVERYONE LOVES THIS CD!!

`STAY' - is a classic example of Victor's vocal talents and shows off his incredible pipes - it's `radio ready' and WHY isn't this on the radio yet - somebody in radioland PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!??? IT ROCKS!!!!! `BEAUTIFUL and USELESS' - is a song that I think most of us can relate to...we ALL know someone that fits this song and the lyrics just kick A$$! `ALIVE' is a solid hit that will have you rockin' out, like most VELOCITY tunes! `YOU' - makes you want to get up and dance - I can't sit still in my car when this tune kicks in! `STRANGER' - how does Victor do it? You will be signing along with this before you know it and you can't get it out of your head!!!

This EP is just hit after hit! 5 songs that you can't get enough of and want to hear over an over again! I got this cd for my friend and it hasn't left her car since (well...until her boyfriend stole it from her!!!) I'm telling you BUY THIS CD....YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!

5 out of 5 stars The finest prog metal i have heard in a long time........2007-04-11

This is a phenominal album. The Dreamscape members obviously have incredible playing abilities, and you can hear this in beautiful solo sections. However, they do not allow the soloing to get in the way of the songs like some prog bands do, and instead have acheived the perfect balance between hard-core prog virtuosity and melodic metal symphonic sound. They sound quite a bit like Dream Theater, and are often compared to them, but do have their own unique sound, in that they are more epic and melodic in their songwriting than DT, and also do not allow songs to get completely out of hand with bizarre time signatures and lengthy solo sections. In addition to this, Dreamscape's vocalist is superior in fact to DT's James Labrie, and although I am a dedicated Dream Theater fan, I am finding that I enjoy Dreamscape even more than DT now. You cannot go wrong with this album.

5 out of 5 stars Why does Europe Rock and the US rolls over dead.......2005-08-16

I listened to End of Silence in preparation for the 2004 Prog Power Show in Atlanta. I am a big fan of Dream Theater and I was amazed by Dreamscape's EOS cd. They have a polished sound similar to Dream Theater. Their music is highly technical, expertly arranged, and flawlessly performed - not what you expect from a new band. I highly recommend this album. Prog Power 2004 had 10 bands over 2 nights and Dreamscape stole the show. Unfortunately, US radio only plays lame rap or punk garage music, so you will have to spend $$ to hear this great German band!

4 out of 5 stars German Power!!.......2005-06-08

The German progressive metal band Dreamscape has been around since 1986, however due to their music being "progressive" they had a hard time finding a decent label and get their artistic messages across. They've released a total of three albums, all with a different singer, but their new one End of Silence is the only one I own. I know their second disc Very has Hubi Meisel on vocals so I will definitely check it out since Hubi's solo material is very solid stuff.

End of Silence is said to be their best release to date with new singer Roland Stoll (also in Private Secret) who reminds me a bit of earlier James Labrie with more aggression and Andy Kuntz from Vanden Plas. The album is very heavy with plenty of aggression, groove, melody and power. All three aspects of "melodic prog metal" are served here. This is prog with all the relevant time signatures, tempo changes and long interludes; metal with its relentless heaviness and melodic with the uncompromising emphasis on melody. Roland Stoll never neglects to deliver the tunes with melody, even when he's hitting the highest notes. Keyboard player Jan Vacik, who also produced this amazing disc, has a great chemistry with the rhythmic bass lines and guitar riffs. The piano and his synth orchestration is stunning! What's even better is they're never used to overpower always leaving enough room for the guitar and bass work. Wolfgang Kerinnis is an exceptional guitarist and he is perfectly backed up by bassist Benno Schmidtler and drummer Bernhard Huber whose tone is really awesome! In this respect the band is a little reminiscent of Vanden Plas, Sun Caged and Threshold although references to Dream Theater's Images & Words era are still evident. The 21-minute epic track "The End of Light" is without question the greatest moment on this disc. This song serves all the purposes of the band's musical vision to the best.

Production-wise I am reminded of Pagan's Mind, but moreso sonically than musically. Pagan's Mind is definitely on the more power/prog side of the equation while Dreamscape plays a more complex, detailed, sharper kind of prog metal with immense emphasis on melody. Still the sonic similarity is there, though I definitely prefer Dreamscape, as much I may be in the minority here.

One of the funniest things I experienced listening to this CD the first time was on the eighth track "Infected Ground" when the song kicked in with an excerpt from a traditional Turkish song titled "Donulmez Aksamin Ufkundayim" and I wonder where they got that inspiration from but that was totally unexpected and interesting. "All I Need" is the only ballad on this 72-minute record and although it isn't the strongest song on the album it gives the listener his time to catch his breath. I am highly impressed by "Silent Maze" as well as "You Don't Know Me" which are both great songs displaying the emotional and lyrical depth of Dreamscape.

This band is playing ProgPower USA soon along with many other talented bands. I think more people will discover them shortly, cause they are too good to go unnoticed any longer.

5 out of 5 stars Better than Dream Theater.......2005-01-24

I just recently discovered this band and I think their music and especially the singing is better than Dream Theater hands down. I own some Dream Theater cds,but they have been suplanted by this one cd. I would recommend this cd for anyone who loves Progressive metal music!

5 out of 5 stars The Dream Theater of Germany.......2004-11-12

It seems when talking about Progressive Metal bands it seems impossible to avoid mentioning the Progressive Metal Gods, Dream Theater. It almost seems heretical to discuss this genre and ignore these giants, sort of like talking about baseball and ignoring the Yankees.

In the case of German Prog Metal prodigies, Dreamscape, I'm not only going to mention Dream Theater, I'm going to compare the two. Taking a name like Dreamscape, one might assume that was their intention, like they were saying to the world, look at us, yeah Dream Theater is good but so are we!

I will admit one thing, Dreamscape is not exactly prolific. End of Silence is well named for this is their first recording in five years and is only their third overall. Their first recording Trance-like State(which I haven't heard) was released in 1997 and raised many eyebrows. The followup in 1999, simply titled Very, was no sophomore flop and had many progheads clamoring for more but unfortunately Dreamscape did a Rip Van Winkle (some would say Boston) routine and went into hibernation. Well folks, the wait was worth it. Wolfgang Kerrinis and Jan Vacik have holed themselves up in Dreamscape Studios in Germany and created a literal masterpiece, I kid you not.

Dreamscape now has a new singer (surprise - three albums three singers) in Roland Stoll but not a new sound. Oh yes, they've evolved, are more polished and maybe a little tighter but side by side there isn't that much difference between Very and End of Silence style wise. Even though all the songs (except "All I Need") are long to very long, they have inherent melodies that are enhanced by Roland Stoll's powerful vocals. The rhythm section often use complicated time signatures, but they never use it as a primary element, but rather as a way to bring the melodies out even more. The production, co-ordinated by keyboarded Jan Vacik, puts emphasis on the synth work, but leaves enough room for the guitars to break through.

This album would probably appeal to true progheads more than pop/rock/alternative/metal aficionados but for anyone that is looking for something a little more complex than your average tinny sounding Garage Band, Dreamscape may be your your vehicle to true enlightenment.

As I mentioned Dreamscape sound eerily like Dream Theater. Other similar bands would include Vanden Plas, DGM, Symphony X, Adagio, Threshold, Superior, Redemption, Frameshift and Mastermind.

Looking back on all these great Progressive Metal bands, I can't help but wonder, that if there never was any Dream Theater, would Dreamscape then be the Prog Metal standard to which all these other bands are compared?

Love Spirals Downwards wouldn't sound out of place in a dance club; languorous synthesizer chords and spookily sweet melodies are complemented by electronic beats at a tempo just fast enough to dance to. On Flux, this is overtly demonstrated by tracks like "Nova," where the repeating tones that open the piece become syncopated with the main beat. The female vocals throughout the album are all appropriately ethereal, but solid enough that they never sound superfluous, especially on "City Moon" (featuring long time vocal collaborator, Suzanne Perry) and "Psyche." The closing song, "Sunset Bell," is the longest on the CD, clocking in at nearly eight minutes, but composer Ryan Lum keeps things interesting by starting simply and becoming progressively more complicated. This style of music is all too often bland, but Love Spirals Downwards opt for a more refreshing, and rewarding, approach. --Genevieve Williams

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars So ethereal as to lack any content.......2004-08-01

I purchased this CD on the strength of one track and that turns out to be a mistake. Almost the entire album is so etheral and breathy that it makes no impression. Even ambient, soothing music needs to have enough susbstance to impress a mood and this one fails to meet that standard. This CD is so weak that I would slot it in below ambient. Call it "background music for background music."

4 out of 5 stars Massively underrated and ignored.......2004-06-04

Ignore the weeping LSD fans still trying to get over the fact their favourite band went in a new direction they didn't like.

This album fuses together my favourite elements of music- melodic guitars, brilliant percussion and dreamy soaring vocals. Nova is by far the best track on this album, though they are all good quality, and seemingly unique these days (if anyone knows of anything like this album get in touch!). Sunset Bell is also brilliant provided you listen to it sparingly.

If you enjoy drum and bass- you will like this. If you enjoy spanish guitar- you will like this. If you like strong, but not grating female vocals- you will like this. It's an album that appeals on many levels. So go and buy it and ignore the LSD fans who don't like the electronic feel of the album.

4 out of 5 stars 3 vocalists & an excellent producer.......2002-07-06

Many listeners don't seem to realize that there are 3 vocalists on this disc. I actually think that guest vocalist, Kristen Perry, is the real vocal star of this disc, having co-authored and sung two of the most well-formed and poppy numbers -- "Psyche" (which appeared on "Dawson's Creek" in 2001), and "Ring." Suzanne Perry (Kristen's sister and the usual vocalist for LSD) turned in 3 pleasant, though somewhat under-developed performances with "City Moon," "Alicia," and "By Your Side." A third vocalist, Jennifer Ryan Fuller, appears on "Sunset Bell," which is simply a remix of a track from the 1994 LSD album, "Ardor.) Ryan Lum craftily used various samples to fill in the rest of the album -- some even run backwards, as on "Sound of Waves". "Flux" really illustrates how responsible he was for creating the vocal sound for the band, regardless of who he had to work with. All in all, I think Suzanne gets way too much credit considering the acutal input she had on this album. Ryan worked overtime to create these dreamy soundscapes, and he deserves more props!

4 out of 5 stars Drum and Bass with feeling.......2002-06-22

Anyone familiar with the drum and bass style of music knows that one thing it is not usually known for is feelings and emotions. Generally, the goal of the drum and bass musician is to pack the dance floor, not make you contemplate the universe or go drifting away into dreamland.

That is why an album such as "Flux" comes as such a welcome surprise. Many of the songs here fall into the drum and bass style of electronica, with multi-instrumentalist Ryan Lum crafting elegant, if forceful, electronic textures to most of the songs. The keyboards and acoustic guitars build up to an odd combination of sterile, techno beats and lush, emotive musical arrangements, similar to Everything But the Girl's "Tempermental". And, much like Tracy Thorne of EBTG, the true star of this disc is vocalist Suzanne Perry, who adds her unique, beautiful voice to the electronic backdrops.

Perry's vocals seemingly meander in from nowhere in tracks such as City Moon, and carry other tracks such as "Sunset Bell". Rarely can a vocalist achieve a successful mix of emotion, range, and style in their singing, but Perry accomplishes it quite easily on Flux, adding a layer of warmth and comfort to many of the songs throughout the disc.

LSD have managed to create a meaningful, emotional album out of a style of music known more for its beats than its substance, which is no small achievement. Though some of the songs tend to fall into a predictable pattern, the ease and grace with which they bring out the feeling and emotion in each track more than makes up for any deficiencies in the song structures.

4 out of 5 stars A nearly flawless album.......2002-05-13

God knows how I managed to get this great album, but Im glad I did. Being a fan of groups like Lamb, Hooverphonic and Massive Attack I was looking for an album with gorgeous female vocals, but with a more drum n bass approach. So whulst i was looking on the site I noticed a reccomendation for LSD, and i read a few reviews of Flux. It sounded very interesting, and despite having little money I decided to purchase the album - and im glad I did. This is probably my best music buy of 2002 (its much better than that pile of rubbish they called Come With Us by the Chemical Brothers)and just about every song on here is great. My favourite two are 'Nova' which is just sublime, and I love the textures and guitar/ambient sounds. perfect for a relaxing evening/night. The most gorgeous song Ive ever heard finishes the album (bar The Orb's 'Star 6/7/8' which is well worth a listen) is called Sunset Bell. This tune is stunning and is like a wake up call rather than a sunset. Simply a lovely voice crooning 'da da da da - da da da da' it sounds childlike and it is but its much more sophisticated than that. The only part that i dont like in the song is where it almost breaks down into 808 states 'Olympic 90' halfway through - then it carries on in the same earleir vein and is stunning. I cant believe what the world is missing, this duo are very talented. This is showcast on the first two songs 'City Moon' and 'Alicia' - and while the former is really good the latter seems 'Spanishy' mixed with Drum n Bass and doesnt work that well for me ( but i suppose for earlier fans a lot of whom ive seem mention its the best thing on 'Flux' like it the best cos its the most representative of their older material) so I gave the album 4 stars cos of that. Its not bad at all just not as good as the other 8 tracks. Another track that many will see as a standout is 'Ring' - if you like this stuff I reccomend 'Hooverphonic' , 'The Orb', 'Talvin Singh' and 'Lamb' - this is a very worthy CD which takes pride of place in my Cs collection

With deftness and pristine, delicate beauty, Dreamscape smudges the line between lullabies and classical works in the world of music for kids. Sure, there are other, wonderful classical lullaby collections, but Dreamscape reaches beyond the classical repertoire while staying faithful to a chamber-music-meets-art-song approach. Heidi Grant Murphy sings with an enticing mix of the standard soprano's range and a gentleness that's in good keeping with the spirit of these works. Meanwhile, Auréole offers viola, flute, and harp accompaniment, subtle enough not to steal away from Grant Murphy and assertive enough to cultivate their own, sweet sonic space. The tunes originate in Crete, the Celtic world, Hungary, and France, and with the Native American Indian Hopi. While this likely won't draw kids in with musical exuberance, it'll certainly be an evening and naptime treat for all, perfectly in line with its intentions. --Andrew Bartlett

Tedious - boring - annoying vocals

If you're looking for a good lullabye cd for an infant or child - AVOID this one. I made the mistake of picking it up on the recommendations of the other reviews here. Big mistake. This is horrible.

5 out of 5 stars Very Unique CD.......2002-06-25

I bought this well composed CD for my niece and boy did it calm her in the evenings before bed... she's out like a light in a short while everytime. Her mother thanks me but I thank Amazon for featuring this. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to try something different if you have the taste for unique products.

5 out of 5 stars sumptuous sound, fascinating repertoire.......2001-01-27

This is not child's play, but a sophisticated collection of lullabies, both traditional and new, composed and arranged by some of the best composers working today. The musicians of Aureole and the angelic voice of Heidi Grant Murphy cooperate beautifully to create a compelling recording that reveals more and more with each hearing.

The Greek lullaby of George Tsontakis, Jonathan Elliott's plaintive Hungarian "hommage a b.b." and WIlliam Mayer's enchanting "Zoombah"; these are but a few of the wonderful selections on this unusual and enchanting recording. It would be great to hear these fine musicians collaborate again.

Please note that this is NOT a recording for "easy listening," because the pieces are challenging, but they are beautiful and lulling in the very best lullaby tradition.

As a musician myself, I must say that this is music-making of the very highest rank.

1 out of 5 stars NOT WORTHWHILE.......2001-01-04

I thought this would be a wonderful addition to my niece's bedtime music collection. I'm glad I listened to this before sending it, as I am extremely disappointed with the repetitive, non-soothing, non-tender treatment by Aureole and singer Heidi Grant Murphy. I am now stuck with this horrible CD. I don't have the heart to try to give it to someone else, somehow that just doesn't seem right, so the best I can do is write this review to warn others.

5 out of 5 stars Lullabies from Around the World.......2000-06-14

Magical and soothing, that's how I discribe the music. I received this CD as a Christmas gift and am very impressed with the quality of the singing. Heidi's singing says she enjoys what she is doing and this subject is very special to her personally. I phoned a cousin and let him and his wife hear one of the songs-they were impressed and pleased. It was my cousins anniversay and this was the first opportunity they had had hear her sing professionally. What a treat for those of us who have known her for many years to be able to be able to share such wonderful music with our families, especially our young children. I have played the CD for my grandson and find that the music helps him settle down when it is time to go to sleep.

        5 out of 5 stars Kenny Colman The Consumate Singer.......2006-11-15

        I was priviledged to be a part of a Kenny Colman group (percussion) back in the 70s. Six nights a week I stood behind Kenny while he sang so beautifully, he blew me away every single night! Nobody does it better, the ultimate ballad singer, he moved everyone in the packed room at every performance. This CD shows off Kenny as one of the greatest singers of our time with gorgeous arrangements, sensitive & tender. Believe me, he is on a par with Bennett & Sinatra. What a treasure! I urge you to make this a part of your permanent collection. It's the best!

        5 out of 5 stars Total injustice he wasn't recognized sooner.......2001-07-28

        heard him for the first time on Sid Mark's radio show.

        What a find. I think he sounds like Torme more than anybody. No expense was spared in making this recording. "Days of Wine And Roses" will blow you away, with a pinnacle jazz harmonica solo by the incomparable Toots Thielman.

        I give it highest rating for vocal performance, arrangements, repetoire and production

        5 out of 5 stars Where is he now?.......2001-07-03

        My wife and I both love Sinatra and Bennett. Now we love Kenny Coleman. First heard him on DSS music channel. Thought he was Andy Williams. Only Williams had never sounded so great. Took us a while to locate the CD. Are there more CD's? Where is he now and is he still performing?

        As newly married "seniors" the track "I'm glad I never met you" brought tears to our eyes. We also like the progression of the selections on the album. They tell a wonderful love story.

        This album is just subperb.

        5 out of 5 stars A wonderful, astonishing, tender surprise.......1999-11-29

        I had never hear of this fellow, Kenny Colman, before I caught a wisp of one of the tracks on this fine album on my local jazz station. He sounded like a blend of Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, with something of Joao Gilberto weaving itself through. The track I heard, a Johnny Mercer tune called 'Where Do You Start' sounded fresh and knowing, free of showmanship and cynicism. His delivery was flawless and went straight to the heart. Technically, he seemed perfect. It made me say, 'Who IS this guy?' I bought the album fearing it was a one-track wonder, but no. The first dozen of the generous 18-track CD were all exceptional. (The others, while fine, seem to have a tacked-on feeling and, to my mind, a notch or two lower than the high bar of the original twelve.) But cuts like 'When Joanna Loved Me'--which connects to the song on an visceral level rarely achieved--makes this CD an indispensible chronicle of tender human emotions by someone who knows what he's talking about. The first dozen arrangements, some by Mandel himself, are lush, intelligent and present this singer like the jewel that he is.

        5 out of 5 stars Kenny's vocals rival Sinatra and Bennett........1998-09-13

        Sinatra called Kenny's album a total musical experience. Once you hear it you will know why. His soft sultry voice will challenge the tear ducts of the strongest men. Some of the renditions will send shivers up your spine. Of the 18 songs on the album, my two favorite are Where Do You Start, truly the greatest song about a break up ever written, and I Wish I'd Met You. One that you will have wished you wrote for your second spouse. If you long for the old days of truly magnificent singing to magnificent lyrics, this one is a must in your library.
