Tickle

Rating: 'Excellent'

Standouts include "The Old Dark Lord of Mordor"... "Mnemonics" is a hoot..."Great Divide" is beautiful.

Product Description:
"See, I'm the kind of fella who forgets his cerebellum when his pesky genetellum get involved."

-"Mnemonics" "So we packed our bags and headed out to Minas Trith. Met the Gollum, who talks like Yoda with a lisp. Went through Tudor and Fordor; I thought Hatchback might be next!"

-"Old Dark Lord of Mordor" "In ancient Greece, we now have found, they turned the ways of love around. As stoically as they knew how, they looked at love from both sides now."

-"It's All Been Done Before"

"Tickle" carries on the witty, wordy, funny tradition of Tom Lehrer and Cole Porter in a collection of jazzy comic songs on topics from the history of sex to the last sour years of Frodo Baggins to the contents of Elvis Presley's refrigerator.

Other highlights are sendups of the Irish ("The Irish Bachelor Farmer") and of Jersey girls, and a funny exercise in writing a song using the fewest possible words ("Sunday").

The CD also mixes in some more heartfelt songs, including a homey description of the joys of a long marriage ("Sanctuary") and an elegy to a lost father ("The Great Divide").

The many guest artists include NYC funnyman Teddy Goldstein and Brian Gundersdorf of "We're About 9." The CD is produced by the duo Andy & Denise.

This is a CD that uses wit and laughter to entertain...qualities that are often hard to find.

Excellent argument for watching Shakespeare's plays.......2005-11-29

'Shakespeare's Musick' by Musicians of the Globe, lead by Philip Pickett is, like a similar recording, 'Songs and Dances from Shakespeare' by The Broadside Band' is a very nice recreation of what you would have heard at the Globe Theatre in London during or after the performances of Will Shakespeare's plays. I will also say that I believe it is just a bit better than the alternative recording if only for it's fewer 'Hey Nonnie Nonnies'. But, both recordings are not the best you can find of Renaissance music. Compared to excellent recordings of Renaissance dances and liturgical music, these seem to suffer from being out of context.

These are well worth the listen, but they will probably not set your toes to tapping as you might to performances by, for example, the Renaissance specialist band Piffaro.

Elizabethan Surprise!.......2000-02-12

If someone had asked me before I listened to the music provided on this CD if I liked English music of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, I would have wrinkled my nose and said a resounding "Yuck!" I came across "Shakespeare's Musick" quite by accident at the local library. I was working on a project dealing with William Shakespeare and decided to take this CD home to see if it would fit into my theme. From the very first song to the very last, Philip Pickett and the Musicians of the Globe had me captivated. The sound is pure and lively and takes the listener on a ride that transcends time. It certainly made this listener a convert! I am now purchasing "Shakespeare's Musick" to add to my own collection and would highly recommend its addition to anyone elses. It will open your ears to a whole other world of sound -- sound that not only tickles the fancy, but enchants the soul.

Sing-along science, now there's a high concept. Singing Science offers a tsunami of information about astronomy, biology, chemistry, and ecology. Call it a prepubescent high-sci primer. But parents be warned: So much information comes so quickly in many of these sing-alongs that younger kids may have trouble understanding the words, let alone comprehending their meaning. Repeat plays are recommended. That said, scientific learning is often supported by familiar nursery rhyme melodies. You probably never were taught about sea creatures to the tune of "Home on the Range" (here called "Home on the Sea"), or learned that the study of fish ("Ichthyology") is a hummable proposition. But your kids might well go for the method and the melodies (an explanation of "Ecology"--complete with talk of "symbiotic relationships"--is sung to "Pop Goes the Weasel"). With 31 tracks exploring the world that we live in, the disc features an array of musical styles, from rap to classical, opening up the seemingly unlimited knowledge of science for young minds. For parents, however, who may have to further explain the many concepts, it might make you feel more like a mad scientist. --Martin Keller

Singing Science: Tickle Tune Typhoon.......2005-09-25

This is a great cd. We listened to it on a very long road trip and never got tired of it. My nine year old son likes the songs because they have a lot of factual information in them. My younger children like them because the music is fun. As a parent, I liked this cd because it makes learning fun.

Excellent introduction to science!!!.......2005-04-29

My family and I love this CD and have been listening to it for years (my children are now 4 and 6)!! The songs on this CD are a great introduction to science for little kids, pre-school or elementary school age. The songs are mostly set to common tunes and are catchy so the kids can remember and sing along with them. I believe any introduction to science at a young age, even if it is quoting factual data, will give kids a better understanding in later years. This CD also takes the mystery out of science a little bit and gets kids thinking about what is going on around them.
I love giving these CD's for birthday presents to my children's friends! I highly recommend this CD!

Science Fun for school-age kids.......2002-11-12

This unusual recording is a collection of scientific facts set to music. Some of the music is original, but many songs are set to familiar tunes, including Home on the Range (now Home on the Sea), I Am An Insect sung to the tune of BINGO and Ecology to the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel!

My 6- and 9-year-old sons love this recording and ask for it frequently. Most of the songs are upbeat, lively and fun, not to mention informative. But as a parent, I don't like the way the writers have taken liberties with rhyme and syllable emphasis to fit the lyrics into the tunes. And they have also sometimes taken liberties with scientific accuracy in order to make the song "work", such as when they sing about "amoebian families". These songs also seem to be particularly likely to get stuck in my head, much to my chagrin.

The scientific emphasis of this collection is heavy on Biology, with a little Ecology, Astronomy, and Chemistry and others thrown in.

The CD comes with complete lyrics to all 31 songs, which is good because they are sometimes a little complicated and difficult to hear correctly when sung.

This CD teaches a lot of what I call Science Trivia. It is undoubtedly impressive when my 9-year-old recites the chemical formulas for sugar or aspirin, identifies the phylum to which sponges belong, and explains that "annelida reproduce as hermaphrodites" (which simply means that earthworms and their cousins have both male and female parts in one organism, and are therefore able to reproduce without the need of a partner), or my 6-year-old recites the body parts of an insect, identifies the study of fish as icthyology or explains how to say "yes" in several different languages. However, as cute as it is, real science learning is much more about understanding than it is about memorizing facts. Still, this CD can jump-start discussions on several scientific topics, if you and your children are so inclined.

This attractive package comes with the sort of lustrous and vivid cover art reproductions Harmonia Mundi is known for, as well as a 69-page book of notes in four languages, complete with real binding. Musically, though, these studied historically correct performances are flat. They lack a sense of fun and daring. The dances are a bit pedestrian. And though there may be no way of positively historically verifying that these, mostly anonymous, 17th-century tunes were meant to elicit love, joy, and laughter, I'll put my money on the theory. --Gwendolyn Freed

The best of King's Noyse.......2002-02-15

I have other CDs of King's Noyse, but I consider this the best of the consort. The 17th-Century English ballads and dances bring to us a kind of inner harmony. The musicians's performance is very exquisite. Tracks 1, 2, 3 and 7 are very joyful.

Vocal and instrumental collection.......1998-12-04

The Kings' Noyse glides you thru a courtly and elegant rendering of Elizabethan ballads and dance music. Joined by the exquisite lutenist Paul O'dette and soprano Ellen Hargis - whose lovely voice fits the genre quite well - this CD is pleasant and easy to listen to.

Among other things, Henry VIII appears to have been responsible for bringing the violin to England. The original group of Jewish-Italian string players who came to work for Henry started a musical institution that continued as part of the royal household until it was disbanded in the 1920s. The music featured here represents "the sort of music the violin consort would have played during Queen Elizabeth's reign." Not surprisingly, many of the pieces are dances; others are consort pieces; still others are arrangements of popular songs of the day. The seven members of the Parley of Instruments--which in this case includes violins, violas, bass violin, lute, virginals, and drum--take full charge of this music and quite carry us away with their obvious enthusiasm and energetic performances. This is one of those rare recordings that both enlightens and entertains. A treasure that belongs in every early music library. --David Vernier
