Nice aid for the Rosary.......2007-08-07

I'm an Episcopalian,and I've recently begun to recite the Rosary on a daily basis. I use this CD to help me pray in the morning, and the Rosary is the exact length of my commute home, so I play it on my way home from work.
The rosary is not sung, but reciTed to music; and is very pleasant. My only objection is that there is no silence after the mystery.

OK if you like a pop music sound.......2007-07-18

As a person who prefers Gregorian Chant to pop music, I found this to be a disappointment, but if you like "easy listening" music, this may work for you.

Excellent CD.......2007-01-18

This CD has both music and the rosary on it. I bought it for my wife for Christmas. She listens to it every day going to and from work. She said it is appealing to her.

A helpful prayer tool.......2006-03-22

I use this cd to pray the rosary while I am driving (I drive over three hours a day). I like the music snippets, the voices of the leader and the responder, and the tempo (not too fast or too slow). Both the leader (a male) and the responder (a female) have strong, clear, reverent voices. After each mystery is announced they read a very short quote from the Bible which helps you get your mind on that particular mystery. There are quite a few extra prayers at the end (like Hail Holy Queen and the Memorare, as well as a litany of intercessions), but if you don't like to end your rosary that way you can always turn the cd off and finish with your own prayers. I'm glad I purchased this cd.

Excellent for personal or group participation.......2005-09-07

Have been using the rosary CD for daily prayer in a nursing home chapel about a month. Excellent, positive responses from all participants. Prayers not too fast nor too slow - easy to mediatively pray along.

Pretty, experimental loathing.......2006-03-20

With the usual songwriting skills by Tim Kasher of Cursive, his solo outing does at times feel a bit vapid, but only in those few moments where he gave himself too much drum beat space to deal with effectively, or when he stays too much in love with his own vocal misery..For the most part the album is tight, get this if you want your Postal Service with a little more grit...

I talked to God..........2003-09-22

Something strange happened to me one night, like three years ago listening "The good life". I still believe that, that night I talked to god, we had this great chat by napster, and he was the only user who had "good life files", when they were unknown.
I don`t know why, but I have this great affection to this band. I recommend you to get "bLACK OUT", one of my favorites.

honesty.......2003-06-03

i live in lincoln which is only an hour from omaha the establishment of the good life. i am only 19 years old, which would cause some reading this to reject my opinion of this album. although i'm young i do have over 300 cds spanning from miles davis to grateful dead and dylan to rhcp and many other independent recordings and different genres. i love music and it is my life and this album means everything to me. every song is flawless in my opinion. i think everyone should have an album to listen to when they need help, this album carried me through a great friend of mine's death and other hardships and that's what i think music is meant for. tim kasher is the most underrated songwriter of today. i believe that once people fall upon his work and give it a try they will understand his genius. the nine ballads that make up this album are irreplacable memories in my life and i hope whoever reads this gives the good life a chance.

Warm music for cold harsh nights.......2001-08-15

I got to see these guys back in feburary touring with spoon. I felt they stole the show. This is deep mellow dark rock, along the lines of cure, or the smiths, sometimes musically but there in the emotionally, potentionally embarassing, honest lyrics. (The influences show, but take it on a unique direction of sonic sacrifice.) The lyrics are embarassing because they are so stark and vulnerable. The fact that this band is basically one man, makes it known of the genius that is Tim Kasher. Perfect for a generation that did not grow up with the 80's emotional soft supple rock. It is the clever retort one could never think of, when their ex-lover dumped them. The man behind Good Life is in Cursive, which is a completely different, but wonderful band.

My thoughts exactly.......2001-05-19

To make a long story short...This cd has not seen the sleeve of my cd case since I borrowed it from my ex about 3 months ago...I was swallowed from begining to end. Track 6 successfully shook the tears right out of me...Tim Kasher's words hit me like a runaway train..."Your son is a glorious mess, who wrecks anything he adores". Wow...This is a magnificent cd...I would highly recommend this to anyone who eats, breathes, feels, has skin, blood, a brain and somewhat of a thought process...

Djavan shows his truer self..........2006-11-20

In this CD Djavan shows one of his true loves, jazz. Not that it hadn't shown on past recordings, but you really get the feeling that he is doing his thing here. I must say that "Quero, Quero" is the song I tend to put on repeat.

Jazzy Jazzy.......2006-10-25

Djavan's great musical talents are always hued with Brazilian Jazz undertones here and there throughout his career; but this CD displays them with more emphasis; and the result is a very exciting and jazzy Djavan.
The highlights:
- Limao
- Alias
- Sem Saber
- Mar a Vista
- 7 Coqueiros

Amazon.com

Voci seems an appropriate title for a disc about the composer's personal responses to Sicilian folk music. There are three pieces on this album--the first, the aforementioned Voci, is scored for viola and full orchestra. Berio manages to successfully combine avant-garde techniques with more traditional harmonic and melodic procedures, so that more tuneful elements stand out. The folk aspects of the music can be discerned sometimes as distant impressions and sometimes almost as transcriptions. The scoring is large and spacious (three percussionists surround two inner ensembles and the violist), but is used sparingly. The piece itself is powerful and raw, helped by Kashkashian's gritty, virtuosic playing. Of the other tracks, Naturale is a closer reflection of Sicilian folk music, but belongs very much to the vein of Voci. All the recordings have a rather "live" element to them, and this helps to draw out the vibrancy of the music. --Dominic Sewell

Customer Reviews:

The Best Berio I've Ever Heard.......2002-08-29

I've often had a love/hate relationship with the music of Berio, I'm not sure exactly why. His more serialist music never seemed startlingly original to me...the Sequenzia, though interesting as experiments, never really grabbed me as pieces (though that may be a prejudice that I've often harbored against solo instrumental pieces...one that I've only recently begun to work through by listening to the Bach Cello Suites again.) And the Sinfonia, which has often been touted as his masterpiece, seems to me to be increasingly dated...sounding more and more like the work of a flower child. Then along comes this CD and I rethink everything that I've ever thought about this composer. These are amoung the most original and stunning works of the last 20 years.

The Cd is dominated by two pieces, Voci for viola and orchestra and Naturale for viola and percussion and tape. In between the two Berio pieces are field recordings of Sicilian folk songs upon which the works are based. The folk music is arresting, sounding more mideastern than Italian and thus showing Sicily's roots in the Moorish empire. (Sardinian and Corsican music have much the same impact.) The music is highly melismatic, and dominated by microtones and unusual textures.

Just these recordings by themselves are haunting, but what Berio does with them is magnificent! Voci has it's antecedents in the Folk Song "arrangements" that Berio did for Cathy Berberian in the 60's (another of my favorite Berio pieces). But here, Berio completely subsumes the folk elements into his own style. While you can initially hear some of the motives from the folk songs, particularly in the viola part, the orchestra begins a running commentary that eventually transforms the material into something rich and strange. Comparisons are made in the liner notes to Bartok and they are apt comparisons, though the music sounds nothing like the Hungarian master. Rather, like Bartok, Berio completely internalizes his material...so much so that we can't speak of folk song quotations or influence in the music. It is all of a piece.

The same is true for Naturale, which inhabits the same basic world as Voci, albeit with more transparency. The ties to folk music are even stronger in this work, with the taped section consisting of fragments of field recordings. The field recorded material announces the "theme" of each section and is immediately commented on by the viola and percussion and eventually transformed. There are moments of such exquisite beauty in this work, that I nearly cried....something I rarely do with avant-garde music. But Berio transcends his avant-garde roots in this work, making such stylistic distinctions obsolete.

My only wish with this music is that Berio would continue more in this path. Other works of his from the 80s and 90s have left me with that cold feeling again...particuarly Continuum, which was commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra a few years ago, and could have been written by half a dozen contemporary composers. The path of Voci and Naturale is much more interesting and the creative possibilities are endless. Please Mr. Berio, I'd like some more!

PS A great big thanks to austintrain, whose review below interested me enough in the piece that I overcame my Beriophobia and bought it. Boy am I glad I did!

Incredible! -- "a late 20th century Bartok for Italy".......2002-07-29

This album is incredible on all levels, a startling accomplishment! This is the first Berio I've heard, and I could not be more impressed. "Voci" and "Naturale" are both 1980s compositions featuring traditional Sicilian folk melodies. "Voci" features viola and orchestra, while "Naturale" features viola, percussion, and a tape recording of a Sicilian folk singer. One of the brilliant aspects of this ECM disc is that in between the two Berio pieces are five field recordings of the Sicilian folk songs that are used in those pieces! An irony of "Voci" is that there are no vocals -- the melodies taken from the vocals of the folk songs are woven into the complex composition. The sound quality is superb, and the mesh of Berio's modernism with the folk music is beyond words. It reminds me of the way in which the free jazz of Ornette Coleman linked back to elements of pre-swing jazz, with its polytonal collective improvisation. In a similar way, the rough, bent notes of the folk songs loop and connect with Berio's post-tonality.

Kim Kashkashian is tremendous! Her viola is front and center through both compositions, a stunning showcase for her playing. I hope Berio's modernism will not be a deterrent for anyone who appreciates virtuosic performance -- in fact I hope if you do, you might have your ears opened to something beyond the standard repertoire! The ECM package goes beyond any high standard you might expect -- a booklet with gorgeous black and white photos of Sicily and a long essay by Jurg Stenzl is included with the jewel case in a box.

As of this writing, this is clearly one of the best 20th/21st century "classic" releases of 2002! Don't miss it...

Fine Playing by Kaskashian!!.......2002-03-29

Kim does it again with this great recording. The album contains a piece with viola and orchestra, recordings of old folk songs, and a piece with viola and percussion. It reminds me of Bartok because Berio uses some old folk tunes that are pretty apparent in the first track Voci. At the same time, I also hear a lot of purity to the music despite some dissonance in the composition. I really enjoy listening to Berio, and Kim's playing is at her best I think at this recording. I've often heard her playing criticized as too manufactured and not taking enough liberties, but regardless of what you think of her playing on perhaps Bartok or Brahms, her recording of Berio evokes excitement and beauty. I reccomend this recording!
