Amazon.com essential recording

Proclaiming his intentions with "Are You Ready for the Country?" Young detoured briefly to the Nashville mainstream. On this No. 1 1972 album, even the singer's acquired-taste voice comes across smooth and beautiful--the smash "Heart of Gold," with steel guitars and Linda Ronstadt's backup vocals, is by far Young's most commercial-sounding song. His usual dissonant touches, like the otherworldly guitar in "Out on the Weekend," are less spooky in this new context. The last two tracks, the deceptively gentle "The Needle and the Damage Done" and the hypnotic rocker "Words (Between the Lines of Age)," predict "Tonight's the Night," Young's haunted 1975 classic. --Steve Knopper

test of time.........2007-08-07

some music just sounds better with age while some music never quite sounds as good as you though it did when you were young. Harvest was released in 1972 and it means as much and sounds as good today as it did back then when I first put the LP on my tiny little record player. Been through alot of stereos and a few copies of HARVEST (8-track, LP, cassette and now CD) but there will always be a HARVEST in my collection. Old Man, Heart of Gold, Needle and the Damage Done, I've heard a thousand times if not ten thousand and the funny thing is as I grow and mature the meaning of the songs take on more resonance and meaning but I never tire of them.

more Neil.......2007-08-02

I've had people tell me to avoid the Harvest album because, dealing with huge Neil Young fans, many of them think Harvest is Neil's weakest album of the classic period. Or maybe they just hate commercial albums.

Anyway, I really like most of the songs on the album. The title song is a catchy little country number, "Heart of Gold" even has a "golden" atmosphere to it, doesn't it? Really special song, not to mention an unforgettable classic. It NEVER gets old. I used to love "Old Man" but thanks to the radio overplaying it, not anymore.

"Words (Between the Lines of Age)" is the best song on the entire album, in my opinion. Something about the depressing piano work really gets to me, and puts me in a focused, though negative state. "Out on the Weekend" is another country-sounding, yet entirely catchy little song. A record focused on vocal melodies.

"Are You Ready for the Country" is kind of filler-ish, and "There's a World" is definitely pure filler because it's not interesting to me personally. Not a big fan of "A Man Needs a Main" either, though the lyrics are pretty cool. The best two songs appear at the end. Besides "Words", there's "Alabama" and the rather unusual sounding "Needle and the Damage Done".

Overall, not Neil Young's best, but worth owning. Don't write it off just because it was a commercial success.

Folk-esque classic.......2007-07-15

Neil Young's unique folk-esque music with his own distinct voice, has been enjoyed by many.
This 1972 album is probabely his best.
Starting with the laidback Out On The Weekend and going on to the title track labum, and the melancholy wailing of A Man Needs A Maid.
Then possibly his best known song of loneliness and heartache- Heart of Gold.
Then there is the contemplative song of youth and age - Old Man.
Neil Diamond was another classic of the forever memorable 70's and anybody who loves folk will want this in their collection.

Great Music but..........2007-05-16

This CD will not work in a Mac Drive. It works in every other CD player. Both parties claim ignorance. Customer service at its best.

A "must have" for any respectable collection.......2007-04-12

This album was released when I was 10 years old. I remember listening to it when my older brother first purchased it. I almost forgot it even existed until I recalled it after listening to CSN&Y Deja VU. All 10 tracks are incredible. It's truly a great recording. My 14 year old daughter even recognized some of the tracks on this album which was released 35 years ago. It's nice to jam to music that has words you can understand and have meaning. When my brother learned that I had purchased the CD he imediately took credit for "teaching me well" on quality classic music.

When Neil Young seems about to zig, he zags. Two years after 1990's loud Ragged Glory, he retreats to an old world of steel guitars, gentle folk melodies, and pristine country choruses. (That's Linda Ronstadt, who helped make 1972's Harvest a hit album, singing backup on the follow-up.) Young name-drops Hank Williams, Jimi Hendrix, and his old dog, King, in rich reminiscences about the musical ride he and his fans have shared since the late '60s. The album, as Young sings in "One of These Days," is "a long letter to all the good friends I've known." --Steve Knopper

Customer Reviews:

A return to his folk roots.......2007-04-10

After more than a decade of venturing in various musical directions, Young returned to his folk roots with Harvest Moon. It was a welcome return and this has to be one of his all time best albums. It was his biggest commercial success since 1980's Live Rust and lead to a renaissance of his career. Several songs from the album received airplay including "War of Man", "Unknown Legend", and the title track, "Harvest Moon". If you like Youngs accoustic based music, you will love this album.

Basking in the Twilight .......2007-04-10

Neil Young's manager once predicted that he would never be hotter than he was immediately following the release of " Harvest". Neil answered by telling him he would always burn, but never rust..... burning keeps you bright.

" Harvest Moon" reminds long time Young fans what they love about him in the first place; the gorgeous song writing. Of course the rowdy guitar sometimes takes center stage, as well as deference to the acoustic model, but this CD gives equal time to the vocal instrument paired with rolling melodies.

The first two, " Legend..." and " Hank to Hendrix" have a similar tune, but the portraits are different. Young's writing creates a vivid picture of the everyday heroine in " Legend";he then proceeds to plead with the lady he's loved through many genres in " H to H".

" War of Man" means more today than upon its release. We are in a literal war with the planet, one that escalates every day. Assaulting humanity, torturing the environment. Oh yeah, we are " Living With War."

" Harvest Moon" is a beautiful love song; don't listen to the naysayers who tag it as middle aged drivel. In fact, most of these songs seem more genuine than other works, and with Neil Young that's saying a lot. Young always bears it all, but the songs featured here demonstrate an ability to continue to grow while reflecting on where you've been. That is the ultimate we can ask from a singer/songwriter.

Neil Young observes and creates. With " Harvest Moon" he also mellows, painting a picture of fall in its finest form.

HARVEST MOON, YOU'RE NO HARVEST !.......2007-04-03

In 1992 Harvest Moon was hyped as the long awaited sequel to Neil Young's classic album, Harvest, but other than the name, and the musicians, they don't have much in common. Where Harvest found the maverick loner faced with tragedy, madness, loneliness, and fighting back, Harvest Moon finds Young basking in retirement-like complacency. In Harvest, he crossed the ocean, searching for a heart of gold. Harvest Moon finds him in his mini-van, dreaming. In Harvest, he sang of the tragedy of losing a friend and band member to drug addiction and overdose. In Harvest Moon, he sings of losing his hound dog. In Harvest, he personally takes on the state of Alabama for Jim Crow. On Harvest Moon, he tells us about how the ravages of war affect birds and animals, but doesn't directly take a stance against any particular war. Harvest Moon is very pretty to listen to. The production is glossy and there are female backing vocals on all the songs. It just doesn't have the emotional substance that it's predecessor had. The two title songs tell the tale. In Harvest, Young sings "let me fill your cup with the promise of a man". In Harvest Moon, he sings "I want to see you dance again"(Let's skip bingo tonight and doe-cee-doe!). Harvest Moon does include some really good songs, one great song (Natural Beauty), and is a very good Neil Young album, but it will never be a great classic that people will always remember him for.

Neil's best mellow effort.......2007-02-22

Harvest Moon is everything Harvest is cracked up to be, but isn't. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Harvest, but I'm also probably the only one of Neil's fans who feels this explicit sequel is better. I normally would complain about the record's country elements, but they actually make the better songs as good as they are. What are those songs, you ask? My personal favorites are Unknown Legend; From Hank to Hendrix; the swaying, mellow title track; War of Man; and the ten-minute finale, Natural Beauty. Looks like a five-star album, right? Too bad that's not quite true - get rid of the banjo-laden Old King; acoustic ballad You and Me and One of These Days, and that would be true. As it stands, this is a must. Be sure to get its two predecessors as well: Freedom and Ragged Glory are also near-classics.

On the short list.......2006-11-02

I bought this CD when it first came out (was it really almost 15 years ago???), and to this day it is still one of my favorite CDs. So nice when you're in the mood for something mellow.

Customer Reviews:

2 very enjoyable mid-70's Dolly albums.......2007-08-07

Thank you to whoever is responsible for finally bringing some old-school Dolly Parton to CD. While Greatest Hits collections are plentiful, most of the older albums have great tracks that were never released as singles, and in many cases they haven't been heard by anyone who didn't own the vinyl album.

"All I Can Do" contains the hit title song, a cover of Emmylou Harris' haunting "Boulder to Birmingham", the perky "Hey Lucky Lady" and "I'm a Drifter", and a song called "When the Sun Goes Down Tomorrow" which includes some lyrics that would find their way into a hit Dolly single some seven years later when they were repeated in "Tennessee Homesick Blues". Best track is "Shattered Image" where Dolly shares her typical country folks wisdom about "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones", but does it in such a joyful way that it isn't the least bit preachy.

"New Harvest, First Gathering" represents the mid-line between her early 70's "country" albums and the late 70's "country-pop" ones. She remakes Motown and Jackie Wilson on one hand, yet has the knee-slapping, hand-clapping singalong "Applejack" as well. "Where Beauty Lives in Memory" shows once again, what a gift Dolly has for lyrics and beautiful writing. The capper is "Light of a Clear Blue Morning"- one of my personal favorite Dolly tunes- an inspirational ode to overcoming despair and obstacles that transforms itself from a beautiful near-ballad with images of new mornings and flying eagles into a pre-disco mix of backup singers, bouncing keyboards, and thumping percussion. It wasn't one of her biggest hit singles, but it is one of Dolly's most ambitious and entertaining records of the period.

Of the three collections released recently of 2 Dolly LPs on 1 CD, this is the top set, a great example of the time in the 1970s when country and pop music found the lines dividing them were easily crossed over.

2 classic Dolly albums.......2007-05-16

It's a shame that it took an import to get these 2 classic Dolly albums on CD. But they did a great job with this issue. The liner notes are not skimpy, and even include full pages of the front and back covers of both albums. "All I Can Do" had 2 hit singles, the title cut and "Hey, Lucky Lady." "New Harvest..." had the hit "Light of a Clear Blue Morning." The rest of the albums is not filler, rather more great and heartfelt music from Dolly. The track "Shattered Image" is awesome, as is her version of Emmylou Harris' "Boulder to Birmingham." It's high time these 2 great albums found their way onto CD. The packaging is far better than previous import "2-fers," and the songs speak for themselves. I plan on getting the other recent 2-fers ("Great Balls of Fire/Dolly Dolly Dolly" and "Burlap & Satin/Real Love") because of the quality of this release. Every Dolly fan should have these in their collection, you will not be disappointed!

Timeless.......2007-05-13

Anyone with a passion for old music will appreciate this cd. This is Dolly as she was leaving Porter Wagner to venture out on her own. This cd shows that she got off to a great start.

Excited About This Release! .......2007-04-06

"All I Can Do" is one of my favorite Dolly albums and this 2-album set is just loaded with gems. I was delighted to see that for her 2002 record, she re-recorded the song "Shattered Image," one of my favorites by Miss Dolly. Also on this double album CD is Dolly's first album - "New Harvest...First Gathering"- that she produced after she left Porter Wagoner. This album contains another gem on it - "Applejack" that has become another Dolly classic and is performed at almost all of her live shows, even to this day. One of my favorite songs in all of her catalog. I was very excited to finally have both albums available in a digital format, instead of on LP, so I could listen to it at my computer and in the car. A fabulous 2-album disc! Go get it!

Album Description

Every obstacle, every struggle, and all the negativity you may experience in the big city holds true even in the backwaters, away from the neon lights. Each has its mirrored examples of hate, anger, and pain. But these things are merely seeds to be collected, planted, and then harvested. At the end, you reap what you sow.

Boondox brings to the rap scene a rural underground sound that is more intense, more gritty, more real than the urban beats you hear on the radio. This bold new artist, backed by the proven talents of Psychopathic Records, will cause the rain to fall, invigorationg the seeds of hardship. The Harvest calls for a new era that will return life back to the rap scene.

Boondox brings the southern USA style of rap to Psychopathic Records, creating a brand new fusion to the industry.

The Harvest incorporates the production talents of the legendary Mike E Clark of Funhouse Studios.

The album features guests from the Psychopathic Records family, including Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid Blaze, and AMB.

Customer Reviews:

Excited for the Red Mist.......2007-05-20

While Psychopathic has been falterering in recent years, wich ICP's ever growing rock ensemble sound, Twiztid's either hit or miss albums we had Blaze to deliver one great and one mediocre album and ABK to latch onto, AMB weren't doing anything, after losing ABK, things seemed bleek, but then comes Boondox. Very fresh sound, Seven starts things off nicely, but Out Here is definetly the first highlight, Lady In The Jaguar w/ICP is a classic and hilarious 70's funk sound, They Pray With Snakes, probably the most musical song on the album does wonders, as does the hidden track Diggin' Myself Out. Rollin' Hard is the only real metal/rap fusion found here and its a very good song. While some claim the latest Psy releases have lost their wickedness, this album retains it fully with the sick beats, revitalized violent imagery of the classic Red Mist w/ Blaze & Twiztid, as well as the demented love songs It Ain't A Thang and even amazing ballads like Lake Of Fire (probably the second best song here) and Angel Like. My personal fav on the album was the hilarious redneck moonshine anthem Sippin', great unique southern sound and then sing along chorus is immensely enjoyable. While the guest spots from ICP (and others) have been missing a lot on others albums Boondox seems to bring the best out in them, even AMB's spot on the title track is better than anything found on their Blood In Blood Out album. So with that in mind, this is definetly the best Psy album since Hatchet Warrior or 1 Less G, aligning itself with Milenko, Mostasteless, and Ringmaster as the label's best work. Make way for the Skarcrow

Psychpathic's Savior.......2007-03-22

Let's face it...recently Psychopathic has been circling the drain...artists have been leaving left and right, fueds have emerged, and releases have been steadily getting more and more dissapointing. Drive By, SV, MOTFG, and the constant postponing of SWK. With the music changing to a more and more sythetic...well, CRAP, and with the only few who know how to release a good album only releasing so much (ie BLAZE, TWIZTID) to keep us satisfied,

BOONDOX brings a well needed revival in the label.
Simpley put, this album is the BEST album released from the record lable since Jeckle Bros. PERIOD!! Don't get me wrong, COLTUN GRUNDY, CHAINSMOKER, PHATSO, and CALM ep were AMAZING!! But Boondox just tops them all, giving that extra push to make an album where each song is just as memorable and deserving of praise as the last.

Some of the best moments on this album are the guest shots, LADY IN THE JAGUAR, RED MIST, and my personal favorite, THE HARVEST. I always thought BLAZE, as amazing a solo artist as he is, was a very good guest artist. Along with Twiztid, ICP, and AMB, Boondox seems to bring out the best in them, that good ol' feeling from back in the day when things were done right.

If you are a disgruntled PSY listener, PICK THIS ALBUM UP NOW!!!

Wow.......2007-01-19

In my opinion, Boondox is the future of Psychopathic Records. When its other artists (Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, ect) album quality has faltered in recent years it's nice to see a solid album dropping with the hatchetman emblem attached. There is, honestly, not a single bad track on this disc.

I must admit though, I was apprehensive at first when I heard about Boondox. A southern rapper signing with Psychopathic?! Didn't this go against everything the clowns have been preaching over the past few years?! And he's a scarecrow! What the hell?! That's even worse! But I am so glad that I gave him the chance. I am without doubt that he is the future of Psychopathic Records and will one day rule in place of ICP and Twiztid.

BUY THIS ALBUM!

Southern' Fried EVIL.......2007-01-16

Okay, let me say this first: I have been a juggalo for about 5 years now, and I can safely say that after hearing Psychopathic had signed a "southern" rapper, my initial thoughts were than the Wicked Clownz had forsaken everything they once stood for, basically stood up and shouted: "WE. LIED." I myself am, indeed, a southerner, but no one feels ICP's anti-racist messages as strong as the sensible people in the south who are forced to hear such ignorance on a daily basis. I still yet was intrigued, however: AMB, the Hatchet's former new addition, are not original enough to captivate my interest. Hell, the ONLY thing original about AMB is that they don't wear face paint. And yet here is someone that is taking the Wickedness and putting a whole new spin on it. Hell, the entire CONCEPT is original: Taking southern music and mixing it with HORRORCORE RAP? It sounds almost too good to work.
It isn't.
Boondox is perhaps the freshest, and without a doubt most WICKED new artist on Psychopathic in years. Lately, alot of the Hatchet's stuff has been going in new directions (i.e., The Calm) or staying in the same direction but being far, far too soft (i.e., Blood In Blood Out). But Boondox makes me, as well as many of my juggalo homies, go back to a simpler time in our lives, a time when we'd get home from a crappy day at school, close our bedroom doors, and crank ICP or Twiztid as loud as we possibly could, venting off anger and frustration. Boondox is a return to classic Horrorcore Rap- raw, edgy, cold, vengeful, and sometime just downright evil. At the same time, it has an opposing meaning to it, something between the lines, something pure. And at the same time, the Skarcrow is experimenting with the style (as are his producers, particularly Mike E. Clark) and offering the music from a "country" perspective, making all us southern juggalos feel even more at home with the Family. I'll give you a breakdown of the album:

1) Intro (N/A)--Some clips from Children of The Corn and such. Just an intro.
2) Seven (5/5)--DAMN. This is probably the best "introduction" track on a Hatchet album EVER. Boondox is a really good rapper, but it's the killer chorus that makes this track awesome
3) Out Here (4/5)--Basically a song reppin' the south. Great track, and once again, great chorus
4) It Ain't A Thang (5/5)--Boondox's version of the classic Psycho Sex Song. As is expected, it's vulgar, but it also has a lot more meaning than other sex songs of the breed. VERY southern beat.
5)Diggin' Myself Out (5/5)--For some reason, this track isn't listed on the back of the jewel case. But whatever. This is a deep, wicked track that looks deeply into the subject of death and why we fear it. Some might call this kind of song "classic Psychopathic"
6)Lady In The Jaguar (5/5)-- Hysterical song featuring ICP and a wacky 70's Funk beat.
7)They Prey With Snakes (5/5)--The album's "single". AWESOME beat and a lyrical topic that I don't think has EVER been rapped about in, like, the history of rap.
8)Rollin' Hard (5/5)--DEAR GOD. This track is EVIL, EVIL, EVIL. It also has a HARD Heavy Metal beat. About Boondox doing alot of drugs ("rollin'") and then buying a prostitute and...well, if I go any further this may not get posted.
9)The Harvest (3/5)--Featuring AMB. Look, I don't hate AMB. I honestly don't. But this is pretty much the stinker of the album. It's really not bad, it just doesn't go anywhere. The chorus is kind of stupid too.
10)Sippin' (5/5)-- A drinking song. Probably has the most southern beat to it of the whole album. Freakin' great song all-round.
11)Lake of Fire (5/5)--This is, without a doubt, THE BEST TRACK ON THE ALBUM. Absolutely atonishing rock ballad (there's only one bit of rapping at all) and metaphorical lyricism. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
12)Red Mist (5/5)--KILLER collaboration track with Twiztid and Blaze. A music video was made for this song.
13) Angel Like (5/5)--A slow acoustic rock song about love, betrayal, and murder. Excellent conclusion to the album.

Best Psy release in years. .......2006-09-13

Boondox's mix of southern rap with midwest wicked rap brings a new sound to psychopathic, and it couldn't have come at a better time. Over the last five years, just about every release to come from this company has had subpar production and feels like the artist didn't put their full effort into the project. Boondox, however, seemed to have really wanted to make a splash with his debut, and thanks to the returning Mike Clark, the music really comes alive. If you were a fan of psychopathic betwwen 1992 and 1999 you won't be dissapointed with it.

This is honest music..........2006-03-16

Every time I listen to Jay Ungar's Harvest Home, which is often, I am reminded of a simpler time. His music resonates within my innermost being. This is honest music. It helps me appreciate the joyful, robust time of basic timeless values. If hard, loud, electric sounds is what your heart beats for then you probably will want to take a pass on this. But if you enjoy the clean beautiful sounds of an acoustic guitar and the mellow music that only can be produced by a country fiddle then take my advice and get this CD, in fact it would be a safe assumption that if Jay Ungar and Molly Mason (Jay's lovely wife) are involved in the music in any way... buy it

Toris Harvest Home review.......2005-09-12

I have enjoyed the cd. My lest favorite is the fist song because the singing takes away from the instrumental.

Wonderful, Soothing, Uplifting.......2002-08-12

Every cut on this CD is perfect, from start to finish!!
I can listen to it over and over, and never tire of it. The cuts range from soothing to uplifting. It has a pure, genuine quality that Unger and Mason translate wonderfully to the listening audience!!

Great CD - well worth the listen.......2002-01-13

I first bought this CD based upon two songs from it I heard on a celtic music show. The Mardi Gras and Aaron Copeland . I was a little skeptical buying a cd titled 'harvest home' - since I do not particularly care for songs about the seasons. However this is quite an impressive CD. The first tracks are individual songs about the harvest. However the most impressive thing about this CD is how it builds to the last 4 tracks on the seasons weaving together the mixture of songs that were in the first part of the CD. I have also bought lover's waltz and while I liked a couple of individual songs on it - This album in total is much better.

It is amazing how the first songs can be played or interwoven into other tunes in an impressive fashion. Every song on this CD can stand on it's own merit - what makes this a 5 star CD is how they all play together. This is one of those CD that sounds better each time you play it.

music for all ages........2001-02-25

I got the CD for xmas this year at my request and love almost every song on it. Even my 9 year old grandson loves it and insisted I dub him a tape to take home with him. Keep them coming Ungar and Mason. Great listening.

A Song Of Home.......2005-07-09

You can feel his pride in his heritage in the way he plays on this CD

A little too slick and a little too much Galway.......2004-01-16

Based on the reviews I read about this album, I had high expectations. I am sorry to say that the album leaves me a little cold. The performances are superb, but unspontaneous. Another difficulty is with the orchestrations. In most cases on this album I think the flute just doesn't work. A case in point is Lover's Waltz, which is near perfect in the original Ungar/Mason version. Galway's flute just doesn't exude the same warmth. Another disappointment is Heart of the Heartland, which could have been an interesting conversation between Galway's flute and Ostroushko's mandolin. Instead we get another showcase for Galway with Ostroushko relegated to backup musician--what a shame! The only track I think that works well on this album is The West Texas Waltz, where we get a taste of how a really collaborative album might have sounded. I guess this album makes good easy listening, but it is certainly not the engaging album I would have expected of these folks.

After a year or two of owning this album, I have to say that the performances are even more stale that when I first reviewed it. I wish they'd let me take a star back.

Good for folks who like "easy listening". I like musicians who aren't afraid to challenge each other and themselves. This album had that potential, but falls flat.........

Very Compelling Classy Classical Appalachian.......2003-02-08

I get home from a hard day at the office and put on my headphones and am transported to heaven. If I had only two hours left of life on earth, I would want to listen to this album for one of them and we won't discuss the other hour please! Galway, Ungar, and Mason are superb. My wife and I were already of fan of Galway. Garrison Keillor's recommendation of "Waltzing with You" by Ungar and Mason (Sony) turned me on to Jay and Molly. Then on to "The Lover's Waltz" and "Harvest Home". The subtle blending and play between Galway's Flute, Jay's Fiddle, and Molly's Guitar . . . . God, there is nothing like it. If you buy this CD and don't like, I'll buy it off you and give it to a friend! ... Thanks Sir James, Jay and Molly.

Is it the music or the musicians?.......2002-12-07

During the many times I have listened to this album, I have posed myself the same question: is it the music I like best or the musicians that perform it? The music is compellingly rich for sure, music that makes the home a resonant place to live in the same way that a dancing wood fire speaks to the eyes of the soul. But the music sings with a penetrating warmth because of the seasoned artistry of the musicians who perform it. I have to give the tilt to the musicians who will forever haunt me with the flickering flames of their performance.

A National Treasure.......2002-10-20

This meeting of musical minds was a stroke of creative matchmaking by RCA. James Galway, the renowned flutist blends but does not blur with two of American folk music's more deeply rooted musical thinkers -- Jay Ungar & Molly Mason. Right from the start, "My Cape Breton Home," the art and craftsmanship, the painstaking selection and arrangement is evident. And this CD continues to delight the mind with an hour of the most beautiful music. All tunes, whether old favorites, like Stephen Foster's "Gentle Annie," or new and original, like "West Texas Waltz" by Jay Ungar, come together as naturally as the confluence of many streams. It seems as if you know these songs so well, which in my case is surprising, but perhaps not so surprising from a CD with Jay Ungar on it, composer of the evocative song for all time, "Ashokan Farewell." This piece has become a de facto theme for millions of people who heard it played again and again in the Ken Burns documentary on The Civil War.

The instrumentation, as you might expect, is the main feature of the CD. Flute, fiddle, piano, mandolin, guitar. But at what seems to be exactly the right time, Molly Mason and Ruth Ungar (Jay's daughter) voices sing out in harmony. And there is a deep understanding of the music here too, and therefore, much beauty in the sound. The rendering of "Pretty Saro" could stand alone as a classic, but when you hear it in order and against the background meticulously prepared by these musicians, it has a presence that is truly haunting.

I think anyone with a taste for the roots of American folk music will enjoy this CD. It has deepened my appreciation of the folk music of America and even the rural environment where I live in America. The art and craft are impeccable. "A Song of Home" is from beginning to end, thoroughly enjoyable, much to think about, a heritage to keep.

Track list needs work.......2004-01-12

If you're looking to get started with Alphaville, you could do worse than to pick up this expensive import, but you could also also spend a bit less and arguably get more of their best work for your money.

The good: the inclusion of the achingly gorgeous "Lassie Come Home" and the giddy, goofy, dance-around-the-living-room classic "Sensations," two tracks from AV's second album _Afternoons in Utopia_ that didn't seem to get enough attention the first time around.

The bad: sadly, the third album just wasn't very good, and the four tracks chosen to represent it here don't seem likely to convince anyone otherwise.

I say, skip this one, pick up _Forever Young_ and _Afternoons in Utopia_ instead -- hey, they're both available used at bargain-basement prices -- and burn yourself a nice mix featuring the selections from those albums included here, plus "Fallen Angel," "Universal Daddy," "Summer in Berlin," and whatever else strikes your fancy.

Then, once you're suitably obsessed, pick up _Prostitute_ and _Salvation_ (albums #4 and #5), whose pleasures are myriad.

Harvest your favourites!.......2003-09-24

Alphaville is one of greatest syth-pop bands in the 80s! Absolutely, Alphaville seems to be as good as Depeche Mode and Duran Duran. This collection has an important place in Alphaville's career because after this their music changed darker and sophististic. You can find classic songs Forever Young, Jerusalem and Big in Japan for this album. Some important songs are unfortunately missing for exemple Fallen Angel. My favourite tracks are a beautiful and major Jerusalem, a terrific Dance With Me, a mournful and fine quitar tasted Romeos and awesome and evergreen Forever Young. There are some songs that Alphaville would have droppep out. Booring Summer Rain and too long For A Million are these songs. All in all, If you like syth-pop, this is a great buy for you.

los dorados tiempos del pop aleman.......2003-04-21

Hace muchos años compré por mera curiosidad este CD por una unica canción: dance with me. Pero mi sorpresa fue positiva pues esta compilacion me dio una idea clara de lo que es Alphaville, uno de los clásicos del pop alemán.
El CD me parece muy bueno, nada de aburrido, ritmos pop mezclados con mucho sintetizador de diversos tipos. Las mejores canciones: "Jerusalem" "dance with me" "the jet set" y por no mencionar las demas que tambien tienen una excelente combinacion ritmo-melodia.
Es una excelente recomendacion para quienes quieran oir y coleccionar "rarezas" del pop de los 80's, seguro no se aburrírán!

Best selection of Alphaville songs.......2000-06-11

This is definitely the best collection of their work on one CD, as other compilations that I have seen do not include one or two of their top efforts. The band has a typical 80's pop sound with a hint of rock in numerous places, lots of synth. Lyrics are strong and production excellent. The main tracks off the album have gripping melodies - "Big In Japan", "Sounds Like A Melody", "Dance With Me" and "Forever Young". The depth and reach of the sound is just fantastic, and you will definitely be exercising the louder levels of your audio system. The other songs definitely hold their own and grow on the listener as time goes by. This is a definite buy, go and get it.

Great album........1999-04-29

After first bringing this album back to the US back in 1992, I have had numerous requests for copies from friends. I have dutifully brought back copies on every trip to Germany or the Czech Republic. The selection of singles exceeds in quality those on any of the US-release Alphaville greatest hits albums. If you only buy one Alphaville album, this is the one to have!

Hallo-wha?.......2006-04-19

Let me start by saying I've never listened to Steamroller before picking this up. I am a big fan of Halloween and have quite a collection of music/sound fx so naturally, this was a must buy when I saw it.
Strictly from a Halloween fan's point of view, I can't recommend this except maybe for a kids party. The synth on the tracks really removes any spookiness from the tunes and makes them fall short of Halloween-worthiness. Tocatta and Hall of the Mountain King are some of my absolute favorite classical pieces and here they are given a royal treatment...if they were produced on a Commodore 64, or Casio keyboard for you younger folk.
The FX disc isn't horrible, but it's below the average generic sound fx you find in the bargain bin. Again, not much scary except for the fact that I spent money on this.
If possible, check it out before you buy.

An interest take on the usual.......2005-11-06

I wasn't sure what I'd think of this from reading other reviews, but I really did like it. I'm not really familiar with Mannheim's other stuff (but if the rest of the Autumn cd is anything like Harvest Dance, I'm looking forward to getting it), so I didn't have any preconceived ideas. I have a lot of the classical pieces on other cds, but I like the different twist given to them here. And I did like the sound effect cd. Nicely spooky (I have enough other sound effects cds with screaming and muching ghouls, etc).

Could have been great but . . ........2004-10-15

As a big Steamroller fan, perhaps my hopes were set a little too high. I envisioned more original music (perhaps a more scarier vibe than the silly one this CD has to it) and maybe a few covered tunes. Chips originals (from the Fresh Aire series)found on this CD outshine the weak efforts put forth on the covered and rearranged tracks. The sound effects disc sets a great(and creepy)mood, that should had been followed through with some new and equally scary compositions.

If you're a die hard Mannheim fan (as in 'I just have to own everything Chip puts out') I say go for it. But otherwise spend your Halloween money elsewhere. Overall this is a forced and lazy effort.

It's not That bad..........2004-06-14

It's not scary. There, you have it, that's what it all boils down to. With a creepy cover like that, you'd think it would be terrifying! It's not, but it's not bad, either!

A lot of the songs sound kind of like low-budget MIDI tunes that are sometimes embedded in websites.. but I think that might have been what the Steamroller was going for. Kind of like a broken Music Box? Anyway, only a few sound low budget, the rest sound good, even a few are a little "eerie" but at the same time, there's a lot that pretty much remind me of something you would hear come out of sesame street toy. The sound effects are great, though.

There's a few songs that are bad. there's a few that are "babyish" but there's also Lots that really capture the mood of halloween and some of it's eerieness. I can't really recommend it for Halloween itself (maybe if you already have every halloween cd already) but I think any Chip Davis fan should give it a listen.

Tries to please everyone.......2004-06-02

One of the neat things about the holiday of Halloween is that it is so versatile. Where Christmas has a very straightforward story (Santa or Jesus, take your pick), Halloween can be many things. Some people see it as a sort of Mardi Gras atmosphere, where any kind of costumed theme is suitable. Others see it as a dark holiday, only suited gothic castles, zombies, and monsters. Still others celebrate it in the style of gory slasher movies, complete with deranged serial killers and buckets of blood. And then there is the non-scary childrens Halloween, where the ghosts are cute and jack-o-lanterns all have goofy grins.

This CD covers all these aspects of Halloween, which virtually garantees that no one will like every song. However, I would suggest that you pick and choose the tracks you like from the CD, as part of your overall Halloween soundtrack. You will probably find at least several tracks you like. And of you like Mannheim Steamroller, you will like most of them.

Excellence!.......2007-04-22

These recordings range back to 1994, with a number of tracks being from Silva Screen's "Music from the Films of Clint Eatwood" compilation, with Derek Wadsworth conducting the City of Prague Philharmonic.

Those tracks are: "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", "A Fistful of DOllars", "For a Few Dollars More", and "Two Mules for Sister Sara". "In The Line Of Fire' also appeared on that CD, performed electronically by Mark Ayres.


The next bunch of tracks is from Silva Screen's 1996 compilation, "Cinema Paradise: The Classic Film Music of Ennio Morricone", which included the majority of tracks here such as the extensive The Mission Suite, The Untouchables, Casulaties of War, Once Upon a Time In America, 1900, Chi Mai, Marco Polo, Once Upon a Time In The West (two tracks), Cinema Paradise, and The Good the Bad and the Ugly - Ecstacy of Gold, mostly being conducted by Paul Bateman, with Nic Raine doing some of the conducting duties as well.

Hamlet is from Silva's 1997 "Cinema's Classic Romances" compilation, while "The Thing" is from Silva's 2001 "Essential John Carpenter".

A Fistful of Dynamite - Duck You Sucker is from 2002's Way Out West: Essential Western Film Music Collection Volume Two.

The remaing tracks were newly recorded in 2004 for this release:
Days of Heaven, Exorcist II, Guns for San Sebastian, Moses the Lawgiver, My Name is Nobody, The Five Man Army, The Red Tent, The Men From Shiloh and The Sicilian Clan.

Highly recommended.

"his domain of film scoring is legendary ~ Ennio Morricone".......2004-10-07

Silva America once again has outdone themselves with "Once Upon A Time:The Essential Ennio Morricone Film Music Collection", a double disc collection worth their weight in GOLD! ~ Morricone creates visual moods for each film he scores...action, adventure, mystery, romance, sentimental and suspense...the list could go on.

Ennio Morricone was born in Rome on October 11, 1928...attended the Santa Cecilia Conservatory...worked in various jazz bands, later a staff arranger and composer...an orchestrator in the '50s...scored films in the early '60s, then the WESTERNS and his name became a household word in the film industry ~ a new kind of western was on the horizon and Morricone was commissioned to score "A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS" [1964] for Sergio Leone featuring Clint Eastwood, spaghetti westerns were born ~ next "FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE" [1965] ~ and a bigger budget film "THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY" [1966], again featuring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and a third Eli Wallach whose performance was magical to watch on the big screen ~ violence and revenge gives Morricone an opportunity to feature electric guitars, flutes and jew's harp blending with a non lyrical chorus mixed with brass, strings, percussion with full orchestration that simply took your breath away...example is "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST" [1968], featuring Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards and our hero Charles Bronson the mysterious harmonica player, director Sergio Leone's tribute to the American Western, pulled out all the stops ~ the Western was just a small part of Maestro Morricone's career, in the next paragraph take a gander of just what our icon of film music accomplished.

Our composer didn't stop there as "ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA" [1984], featuring Robert De Niro, James Woods and Elizabeth McGovern, another Sergio Leone film..."THE MISSION" [1986], featuring Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons and Aldan Quinn, is probably one of Morricone's crowning scores receiving an Academy Award nomination, very haunting and classical genre in substance..."THE UNTOUCHABLES" [1987], featuring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and Robert De Niro during the Al Capone '30s crime organization, Morricone conjures a powerful and dynamic arrangement of his unmistakable theme..."CINEMA PARADISO" [1988], featuring Phillippe Noiret, Antonella Attili and Pupella Maggio from director Giuseppe Tomatore as he recalls his early childhood, the score immediately captures your heart, so tender and compelling as Morricone can only deliver.

City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra featuring conductors Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Nic Raine, Derek Wadsworth ~ Crouch End Festival Chorus featuring Choir Master David Temple ~ vocals performed by Charlotte Kinder, Marie Kopecka and Jill Washington ~ guitar, percussion and keyboards performed by Gareth Williams ~ all in all did a magnicent job in bringing the music of a composer who wrote for over 250 films, receiving recognition from the industry and fans which was long over-due ~ his work is in constant demand, scoring as many as over a half dozen films as year.

This collection contains an overlay of each cue in Morricone's distinctive style of legendary scoring ~ the man who made this possible, a tremendous asset to every project he undertakes is James Fitzpatrick [producer of the album] ~ symphonic suites with full orchestra fullfilling the "film-score-buffs" cravings for more of the same, just the way we like 'em!
