King of Nothing

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
With their 1998 debut album, Beautiful Day in the Cold, Cruel World, the Warren Brothers introduced the world to their sophisticated, hooky, pop-country songwriting, which is often enlightened with glib irony, delightfully provocative one-liners, and dashes of contemporary humor. On 2000's King of Nothing, this Tampa, Florida-born sibling duo once again showcases their aggressive, sharp-edged contemporary duet sound that's delightfully reminiscent of Foster & Lloyd, the short-lived but cutting-edge Nashville country-rock duet team that briefly turned Nashville on its ear in the late 1980s. As infectious and aggressively likeable as the Warrens' duet sound is (imagine an early-21st-century version of the Everly Brothers who've hung out on Sunset Boulevard and read some early Jay McInerney), the sound often takes a back seat to their songwriting. On quirky yet reflective songs like "Strange," "Waiting for the Light to Change," and "Move On," they display an utterly original mixture of irony, lighthearted philosophizing, and lyric inventiveness. Though a couple of tunes are half-baked, the killer title tune is the sort of cut that jumps out and grabs you by the heartstrings, like some long-lost outtake from Hotel California. --Bob Allen

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

Dowland did for lute music what Haydn did for the string quartet and Beethoven the piano sonata. The finest lutenist and songwriter of his age--he composed several of the greatest hits of the late 16th and early 17th centuries--the surviving lute works constitute a sort of encyclopedia of the possibilities of the instrument. There are song arrangements, dance pieces, tributes to the composer's friends, even a musical self-portrait. Much of the music is fashionably sad. Lute songs generally deal with the agony of lost love, and Dowland's most popular tune was called Lachrimae (Tears). Paul O'Dette is simply the best lutenist alive. These five discs are available together at a special price, or separately. A reference edition. --David Hurwitz

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding.......2007-03-31

If you are a fan of the music of John Dowland, you must own this CD. The playing is outstanding to say the least.

3 out of 5 stars It's not heavy breathing.......2006-08-22

It's great that O'Dette gives us the complete solo works, of course. I have the common reaction to O'Dette: his technique is flawless, his performance unengaging.

Others have remarked on the "heavy breathing" noticeable on the recordings -- it's not heavy breathing, but the movement of his fingers on the gut strings making that sound.

4 out of 5 stars Technically good, emotionally bland. .......2006-04-11

Considering the extreme paucity of (especially solo) lute recordings currently available worldwide,
but especially in the US, this set becomes an essential "must have" for all lovers of the lute.
Yet it somehow disappoints.
I am sure that Paul O'Dette is brimming over with virtuousity and a technical expertise
that I am hardly one to pass sound judgement upon.
But the recordings have a flatness and monotony;
the songs are rendered with precision, but seem to lack feeling, empathy, or enthusiasm throughout the offering.
It is an impressive compendium, and I'm glad I purchased it.
There are very few lutenists out there producing any music at all, so Mr. O'Dette should certainly be praised
for delivering such a substantial feast to our ears.
It just should have had more flavor.
Where is Konrad Ragossnig when you need him?

5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended.......2005-10-23

I bought Volume 1 of this set a couple of years ago. It has become one of my favorite CDs, so I thought I would enjoy the full set. I have not been disappointed. I find the sound quality excellent, the playing superb. The included booklet has a lot of interesting background material. The music is great as background for a dinner party or intimate conversation, but has depth aplenty for concentrated listening. I often listen to it while working at the computer where I swear it improves concentration and productivity!

A few tunes appear more than once as Dowland reused some work, but the arrangements are sufficiently different to be interesting. It is his complete lute works, after all. Some might criticise the set for sounding too much in the same style. It is the work of one composer, and if you happen to like the style, as I do, this is a pro rather than a con.

Another reviewer mentioned obtrusive breathing on the recording. I had listened to Volume 1 for two years before reading the review and had not noticed this. On listening carefully, there is breathing audible, but I do not find it a problem. Perhaps it depends whether one listens to the music or the background.

4 out of 5 stars just a warning..........2005-10-14

Beautiful music, but... you can hear Paul's heavy breathing throughout. Apparently a lot of other reviewers either don't hear the heavy breathing, or aren't bothered by it, but for me, it's a near deal-breaker. Go ahead and mark my review as unhelpful, but I had to put the warning out there.

4 out of 5 stars Another great trip down the MFU memory lane.......2005-10-19

Volume 2 (comprised of 2 CDs) is another first rate compilation of the series' original music and not to be missed by U.N.C.L.E. fans. The liner notes are wonderful and add a lot to ones appreciation of the music.

My only problem is that THE CDs ARE COPY PROTECTED! Considerable work is needed to get the music onto your iPod, if you really want the music in your mp3 collection. This is a major hassle and a surprise, since the first set in the series was not copy protected.

5 out of 5 stars The best of the three Double CDs ORIGINAL soundtrack release.......2005-07-12

Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.

Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.

And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.

Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.

This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.

Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.

So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.

With their 1998 debut album, Beautiful Day in the Cold, Cruel World, the Warren Brothers introduced the world to their sophisticated, hooky, pop-country songwriting, which is often enlightened with glib irony, delightfully provocative one-liners, and dashes of contemporary humor. On 2000's King of Nothing, this Tampa, Florida-born sibling duo once again showcases their aggressive, sharp-edged contemporary duet sound that's delightfully reminiscent of Foster & Lloyd, the short-lived but cutting-edge Nashville country-rock duet team that briefly turned Nashville on its ear in the late 1980s. As infectious and aggressively likeable as the Warrens' duet sound is (imagine an early-21st-century version of the Everly Brothers who've hung out on Sunset Boulevard and read some early Jay McInerney), the sound often takes a back seat to their songwriting. On quirky yet reflective songs like "Strange," "Waiting for the Light to Change," and "Move On," they display an utterly original mixture of irony, lighthearted philosophizing, and lyric inventiveness. Though a couple of tunes are half-baked, the killer title tune is the sort of cut that jumps out and grabs you by the heartstrings, like some long-lost outtake from Hotel California. --Bob Allen

5 out of 5 stars An brilliant album, done by 2 great singers........2001-09-05

Personally, I never used to really like the Warren Brothers until I saw them in concert. They were phenomenal!! On top of that, i got to meet them in person. This CD "The King of Nothing" shows their true colors. From songs such as "Strange", "Moving On", their title track, to the emotional ballad "Thats the beat of a heart", this CD could'nt be any better. This is not a traditional country group, however they can still hold a place in the country music scene. Give or take a few more albums, and this group will be up there with the big ones. Great job on this CD, Brett and Brad!!

Total CD time: 43 min

5 out of 5 stars more great music.......2001-05-22

The Warren Brothers' second CD is definitely a keeper. As with their first album, this is not "traditional" country music--if you're looking for twang, you should go somewhere else. However, if you just like great music, you're in the right place. The songs have a good beat and make you want to sing along. The ballads are slow, but won't put you to sleep. The Warren Brother use a bit more piano in this album which is well done and gives it a little different feel. This one definitely joins my list of all-time favorites.

5 out of 5 stars "That's The Beat Of A Heart".......2000-09-28

This is such a good song! The video, the singers,etc. you just can't beat it. Everything is perfect about it. I hope me and my boyfriend (future husband) will walk down the aisle to this song at our wedding in November.

4 out of 5 stars King of Nothing.......2000-09-13

I really like the last song on this cd (Every beat of a heart)!!! I have watched the video many times, and it really hits close to home. It's amazing that they can write a song, and it just is like they know exactly who you are, and are singing it just for you! Julie

4 out of 5 stars Makes My Heart Beat.......2000-09-13

"The Beat of The Heart" is a wonderful song to me. I feel that this song will be an up coming wedding song. Every time I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes, because I think about all the good things in my love life that God has blessed me with. I have been blessed to have a very strong hearted boyfriend who really knows how to share his feelings with me. I haven't ever loved anyone as much as I do him and this song reminds me so much of "us". He is my dream come true and hopefully one day we'll walk down the aisle to this song.

5 out of 5 stars Too cool for some.......2005-02-22

Julianne Baird is breathtakingly good at what she does: intelligent, stylistically convincing, technically brilliant ornamentation, in a sweet, phenomenally accurate voice. I love it. Those not accustomed to this sort of thing, though, may find it lacking emotional immediacy. Consider also Kathleen Battle with some of the same material: not that she's better, but the appeal is more directly sensual rather than intellectual.

5 out of 5 stars Ethereal and Hauntingly Beautiful.......2003-11-05

How could you go wrong with the clear seraph voice of Julianne Baird accompanied by the delicate skill of Ronn McFarlane on the Lute. Not only is the talent exceptional but the composed works of Lute music divine.

You listen to each song and are carried away to time/place devoid of any worry let alone any task other than to listen to Julianne and Ronn execute perfection. You truely feel part of the Elizabethan Court listening to this CD it is both beautiful and dark simutaneously.

Another fabulous feature to this CD is the simplicity of the recording of only lute and vocals with no special effects. To retain the warmth and purity of the composition it was recorded on location in 'The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall' in Upstate New York and is one of the finest acoustical settings in the world. Unlike modern pop music Lute music as written needs no manipulation or adjustment in the studio if executed by skilled artists and musicians in an acoustical atmosphere and this recording does exactly that.

I highly recommend this CD of beautiful music. It truely will evoke deep feeling and emotion.

5 out of 5 stars beautiful music.......2005-10-14

I bought this after hearing this version of frogg galliard on the radio. The whole CD did not disappoint me. I'm no expert of lute music, but if you like Dowland, this is worth a listen.

The sound quality here is very good. My only complaint is faint breathing noises in the background. These noises are more apparent on some tracks than others. But overall they don't bother me. I bought the Paul O'dette Dowland set, and for me, the breathing noises just ruined an otherwise amazing performance.

1 out of 5 stars Not impressed.......2003-11-25

I was not terribly impressed with this CD. Fortunately, I decided to get it from the library to see if it was good before deciding whether or not to buy it.

Although the orchestration of the songs is well done, most of them simply were not meant to be performed by a chorus; and they sound terrible in that form. If you want some of the songs on this CD, I suggest you look at one of Disney's compilation CDs in the Classic Disney Vol. 1-5 series or the actual soundtracks of the movies.

5 out of 5 stars Inexorable wonder!.......2001-06-23

Where to start?! Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra have had a track record for recording some of the most stupendous movie music ever. Magical Musicals is just another example of how audaciously bold, yet beautiful Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops have taken the original scores, molded them into the same pieces, yet at the same time, creating life of their own in each and every note. If you are looking for ANY soundtrack containing Disney music, this should be the first CD you listen to. There are others out there, and yes, they may sound beautiful and enchanting, but you won't find such a unique and compelling score anywhere else other than this CD. Check it out!!

The melody that gives the title to this cd, "On Broadway" is a masterpiece of arrangement: every instrument is on the very right key and it truly makes you live that very special feeling that you only get every once in a while with very special music. Listen to it, you will buy it instantly.

5 out of 5 stars Great Single! Buy the single instead of the album!.......2005-10-28

Great single with the best song off Load or Reload

1.King Nothing- 10/10 A great intro that leads into an awesome riff. James Hetfield's vocals are as good as ever and his vocal phrasing is classic Metallica. Some of Metallica's best lyrics ever and one of Metallica's best riffs ever on this awesome slow song. Kirk Hammett's solo is nothing special but honestly I'm not the biggest fan of Kirk's leads anyway. Some great creepy vocals after the solo from James. This one of Metallica's best songs ever.

2.Ain't My Bitch [Live]- 9/10 A cool riff with some heavy bass. A good fast paced track although not as agressive as there earlier fast tracks. This is good a song however Kirk's solo is terrible as he proves he can't bend a string to save his life. This is a very good song and the 2nd best song off Load.

I'd get the single over the album anyday....the single is a great deal the album is mostly fillers anyway and the only 2 tracks worth considering for a best of are these 2 tracks. A lot of the songs on Load have an Alternative rock feel to them...this doesn't so just buy the single unless you can get the album for less money which is unlikely. The band is

James Hetfield- Vocals, Rythym Guitar
Kirk Hammett- Lead Guitar
Lars Ulrich- Drums
Jason Newsted- Bass

2 out of 5 stars 2 musicas num single de um cd realmente fraco.......1999-07-15

talvez sejam as duas melhores musicas desse cd, mas realmente deixa a desejar, considero um ítem de colecionador somente.

5 out of 5 stars Great Riff.......1999-06-03

This has one of the best riffs on load. Load, in my opinion is the best Metallca Album ever along with Kill em' All, but they are all excellent.

2 out of 5 stars What happened to the REAL Metallica?.......1999-04-12

A half way decent song from a not so decent album. The writers have obviouslly turned on their own name, METAL... Too many comparisons have been made to Enter Sandman, another song that will never hold a cndle to Master of Puppets or For Whom the Bell Tolls. a good band selling out for the next generation, which isn't a total loss, just a loss for the older generation who knew of Hetfield and Ulrich when Mustaine still walked amongst them with Cliff Burton or even Ron McGovny. To all who read, before you call Load and Re-Load "metal" get a copy of ...Puppets and listen to it straight through and learn why the mighty Ozzy Osbourne even had to say "those boys were a tough act to fallow"...
