Fans of the genre called deep house owe much to pioneers like Jay Denes, whose Beautiful Tomorrow (2002), recorded under the moniker Blue Six, introduced many to a silky and impeccably produced cocktail of jazz-house soundscapes. For fanciers of Tomorrow, Aquarian Angel--which is chock full of the vocal stylings of house sirens Lisa Shaw and LT (Aya)--does not disappoint. On the captivating "Here I Come," Shaw's smoky voice chants "this day's done, build another in its place" over a chilled organ line, and LT's singing makes the title track a spot-on lullaby for the urban set. Like Tomorrow, Angel is house made more for the lounge or beach than the floor, as the lush harmonies of "Half Life" and the Brazilian-inflected "I've Given Enough," whose throaty sax line that would make Chet Baker smile, attest. And while some may find Angel's atmospherics a bit saccharine, Denes's crystalline mixing is truly astounding. There is also a sincerity and dimension to the music that sets Angel apart from the genre's more formulaic productions and lures the listener back to tracks that don't immediately make sense. After all, they call it "deep" house for a reason. --Brent KallmerAlbum Description
Blue Six, the production alias of Jay Denes, New York-based musician and co-founder of the highly-regarded Naked Music label, will release his eagerly-anticipated second full-length album, Aquarian Angel on March 13, 2007. By blending underground sensibilities with soulful grooves and lyrical seductiveness, Aquarian Angel continues to do what Blue Six and Naked Music are known for - taking dance music to the next level with mature albums that are synonymous with soulful, stylish sophistication.Originally a production company, Naked Music was formed in 1998 by Jay Denes and his partner, fellow musician Dave Boonshoft. As the signature artist who captured the essence of the label, Blue Six quickly proceeded to capture the attention of the music scene with their underground dance classics "Sweeter Love" and "Music & Wine" rapidly becoming the ubiquitous soundtrack for scores of clubs, restaurants and bars, from New York to London to Paris.
Aquarian Angel is the follow up to Blue Six's full-length Naked Music debut, Beautiful Tomorrow (2004), which was a dazzling collection of tracks that combined dance grooves and R&B vocals with darkly intelligent lyrics. Aquarian Angel takes all the elements that made Beautiful Tomorrow so well loved and evolves into adult dance grooves and R&B-styled vocals that are cross-fertilized with Brazilian beats, ambient backdrops, and elements of jazz. Additionally, the upcoming CD reunites Jay with the three unique voices that helped make Beautiful Tomorrow such a classic: The triumvirate of label mates, Aya, Lisa Shaw and Catherine Russell return to lend their very different vocals styles, three distinct voices that, over the course of the album, combine to create that instantly recognizable Blue Six sound.
Denes spent the time between Beautiful Tomorrow and Aquarian Angel producing solo albums for both Aya and Lisa Shaw. Aya's "Strange Flower" and Lisa's "Cherry" garnered rave reviews and continue to get consistent radio-play worldwide. After these two intense collaborations, he was ready to compose the Aquarian song-cycle, writing each piece with a specific vocalist in mind. Musically, he has concocted a hybrid that combines his own expert manipulation of state-of-the-art computer technology with the warmth and unpredictability of live musicianship. As a result, Aquarian Angel breathes with a life of its own as it caresses your body and plays with your mind. "Tropicalia", a lush Afro-Brazilian track that features Lisa Shaw, is the first single off the album. Its infectious percussion-driven rhythms will entice DJ's of all stripes.
"On Aquarian Angel I threw all my musical preconceptions out the window," says Denes. "My only intention was to communicate my thoughts and feelings as they presented themselves to me. I think the end result is more varied and broader in scope than my previous work and will ultimately be as meaningful to my listeners as it has been to me."

Re-recorded, remixed, overdubbed and repackaged--all before its 1970 American release, mind you--Let It Be has long been the most second-guessed album in the Beatles otherwise sterling catalog. This curious, three-decade-late, stripped-down rethink offers up yet another spin on what started as a back-to-the-roots album/documentary project called Get Back in January, 1969, but ended up as the band's de facto swan song 18 months later. Paul McCartney in particular has long been irked by producer Phil Spector's grandiose orchestra and choir overdubs to the title track and "The Long and Winding Road," and indeed the "bare" versions here have a distinct, plaintive charm lacking in Spector's typical pomp. All the various snippets of studio and live chatter that seasoned the original have been removed, leaving the recordings to be judged on their essentially live-in-the-studio merits. If the intent was to "de-Spectorize" the album, the inclusion of John Lennon's 1968 benefit track "Across the Universe" and George Harrison's "I Me Mine" (which marked the last-ever Beatles session in January, 1970) in their original versions seems equally odd, the legendary producer having appended them to the album's original track listing in the first place. The rambling "bonus disc" of conversation and song snippets culled from hundreds of hours of session and film tapes may fascinate diehard fans, but it also underscores the murky, often unfocused state of affairs the Fabs found themselves in during the last year of their remarkable career. --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:
Forget the Original and Buy this one........2007-07-02
A minor complaint would be that it would have been nice to have a few bonus songs such as "The Ballad of John and Yoko", "Old Brown Shoe", "You Know My Name, Look Up the Number" and the single version of "Get Back." The first two, though not part of the "Let it Be" project, were comtemporaneous with the other songs and have the same sound. The Latter two were from singles related to the album. It would have also been more in keeping with the traditionally generous song selection on other Beatle albums, and these songs have never properly been put on an album(and this would be the one). Only eleven songs seems a bit stingy. The inclusion of these songs would have made this a killer album at the time, on par with their other albums, instead of the sad affair it was. I also dislike the flippant title and art work. In hindsight (always 20/20) it would have been much better to do a deluxe release of the original "Let it Be" that included these recordings. A double CD that probably would have made everyone ecstatic, since they would have what they want and could make the comparison. The Fly on the Wall bonus seems pointless and could have probably been much more substantial. Oh well.
In summary, greatly improved over the original in terms of songs and sound quality, but could use a few more songs for the money. Get this one and forget the original. If you have a need for the Spectorized versions for completeness or sentimentality, you can find them on "One" or other repackagings.
Good but Maybe Not Essential - For Completists .......2007-06-15
This is the band returning in many ways to its roots, still experimenting with a more American sound, while McCartney is secure in his role as a ballads composer. The jam quality of the sessions (One After 909), hearken back to where the Fab Four were, earlier in their career - and yet, seem out of place. Only McCartney sounds polished. John's standout track is Don't Let Me Down, and Get Back remains a rock classic in the vein of Back in the USSR.
It isn't an uneven album at all, but my guess is that a lack of dynamism in some respects, and the legacy of being the Beatles' final release and a somewhat throwaway effort - has created an uneven legacy for this album. Not to forget that Let It Be followed an entire slew of concept albums from the Fab 4. The sweetness of Abbey Road and the intentional disparateness of the White Album and the vividness of Sgt Peppers left Let It Be as a conceptual void of sorts.
Let It Be Naked is probably best for completists. Across the Universe is one of my favourite tracks but the version here is average. Plus I'm not sure if Paul McCartney's signature pieces - Let It Be and The Long & Winding Road - are really better off without Phil Spector's strings. Simply because most of us have been listening to those versions for years! You don't miss the stripped instrumentation on these versions either. They will likely play in your head as you hear the naked versions.
" The Beatles Get Back" -----as it was originally intended........2007-06-03
Love it.......2007-05-14
"Let it Rest in Peace".......2007-03-29
Now you really can hear and buy "Get Back," the advanced LP pressing of "Let it Be" sent mostly to DJs. CD Maximum (Russia) has issued a number of Beatles' two-fers, and "Get Back" is coupled with "Yellow Submarine." "Get Back" feels like the Beatles and makes sense in relation to the film.
Track order:
1)One Afer 909
2)Don't Let Me Down
3)Dig a Pony
4)I've Got a Feeling
5)Get Back
6)For You Blue
7)Teddy Boy
8)Two of Us On Our Way Home
9)Dig It
10)Let it Be
11)The Long And Winding Road
"Teddy Boy" appeared on Paul's first solo album, and "Dig It" gets half-restored to 4 1/2 minutes. I do have a problem with some of the sequencing, but I finally enjoy listening to these sessions! Also, the "Get Back" cover shot is the same pic used for "The Beatles: 1967-1970."

4 1/2 Stars - Some of the Best of the 80's!.......2006-06-26
That being said, even without When the Lights Go Out, this is a fantastic collection of songs by Naked Eyes, covering 9 of the 10 songs from their first album, the self-titled Naked Eyes, never yet released on CD. The Promises Promises collection leaves off only Could Be from their first album. By the way, looking at a Naked Eyes discography, I just found that the debut album was titled Burning Bridges in other countries, including two additional songs A Very Hard Act to Follow and The Time is Now, both included on Promises Promises, but not on this compilation.
Four of the ten songs from their other studio album, Fuel for the Fire (also never yet released on CD), are left off this compilation - Once is Enough and Answering Service do not appear on either compilation, while New Hearts and Me I See in You appear on Promises Promises. Of these four, all but New Hearts appear on Everything and More, a later compilation of rarities, b-sides, and remixes.
For the completist, almost everything from the two studio albums appears on either this Best Of package or the Everything and More rarities CD (and you can pick up When the Lights Go Out on the Back-to-Back Naked Eyes / Spandau Ballet CD quite cheaply - it has all 4 of their Top 40 hits). But hopefully Pete Byrne will be successful in the negotiations he mentioned in his review, to eventually bring out ALL of the Naked Eyes recorded output on CD. And hopefully this will include the song from the Dr. Pepper commercial done by Naked Eyes that someone in another review referred to - how cool.
Though they released only two studio albums, Naked Eyes had some of the catchiest pop songs of the 80's, and this CD is an excellent collection of all (except one) of their best!

STOP HATIN! THIS ALBUM IS HOT!.......2007-06-13
Now, onto Marques! This album is by far one of the very best since Immature/IMx and MH! It shows how he is maturing and experiencing what men go through. Their sexual appetite. I think it's sexy and nothing different from any other R&B male that bares their body! (hint hint D'Angelo, Usher Pretty Ricky go see one concert!)
Anyway, my favorite on this album is Everything! It is one of the most meaningful songs since Please Don't Go and All Alone. This song he really goes all out trying to express how much he loves this girl, that with all honesty no matter if they broke up or not I am jealous over this! He said "Girl you make whole you are my sister soul", I love it! I have every album from Immature to Imx Greatest hits.
Marques was always the stand out and I'm glad he's getting all the fame and money because those dudes never really added anything to the group. Kelton/LDB don't even greet his fans or try to touch their hands. All ego and he can't even sing! LOL! I stood there and watched, him treat some girls like that, all I could think is, thank god that's not me!
I still dream of meeting Marques, and just telling him how much I appreciate him keeping his music alive. When I am down his voice is so comforting, he gives me something to think about even if it doesn't happen. I have Veteran his new album also, my favorite songs are Circle and Miss Being Your Man. They are all day repeat songs. Keep up the good work Marques and congrats on debuting #1 for Veteran! Enjoy the success!

Omarion's Cheaper, Less Talented Alternative.......2006-05-24
I apoligize for sounding harsh, but think about it. Where's the talent? Where's the skill? What about the heart & soul? Where's the musical ambition? What about meaningful lyrics & nice beats? Where's his dignity? Where's hist artistic growth? I'm betting he threw all that & so much more out the window along with his tacky clothes. Marques, take this into account...YOU'RE NOT USHER AND YOU NEVER WILL BE, SO STOP TRYING!
I honestly tried really hard to force myself to like his song "All Because Of You", but I just couldn't convince myself to do it. There's not a single song on this entire album that has any true emotional depth. His other singles, "Naked" & "Sex Wit You" are absolutely pathetic attempts at explicit sexuality, with egomaniacle, ridicuously retarded videos to boot. As if the cheesy, sexual come-ons & emotionally devoid ballads were hard enough to bare, you have miserable club tunes to complain about here & there.
Marques Houston is a perfect example of why R&B goes downhills nowadays. Anybody with a slight fraction of a brain would be aware that he has no talent, and relies on his ugly mug & flabby gut to seek the attention of ditsy tween girls worldwide. Skip this album at ALL COSTS (AND I MEAN THAT LITERALLY)!

better than advertised.......2006-07-18
Which reminds me, the remastered dualdisc version has sharply superior sound quality, and plus features a neat bonus track called Sax and Violins, so even though you can buy the original for, like, 1 cent now, I still say get the remaster.
not bad, but not their best.......2006-05-17
naked was touted as a "back to basics" type album. meaning they tried to return to the mutlilayered polyrthmic sound of remain in light. instead of being influenced by african music this time TH were shooting for a more latin/south american/samba sound.although, they brought on such heavyweights as Johnny Marr(former guitarist of the Smiths) and Lenny Pickett(Saturday Night Live music coordinator)
the results are mixed.
i'm going to do this by song:
Blind:Great start to the album. if the rest of the album sounded like this it would be a classic. awesome funk horn section provided and arranged by Lenny Pickett and his ensamble;wonmnderfully goofy fake James Brown impression vocal by David Bryne and many layered rythems. the only problem is like mostof the album, the drums are programmed and often sound flat and is not really danacble look to reamin in light and speaking in tongues if you wanna dance.
mr. Jones: another neat track. the latin/samba sound is achieved with real sounding percussion that jells well with eachother. cynically funny lyrics that update Bob Dylan's character as a washed out yuppie shell of what he used to be.upbeat horns thst make you wanna groove and shimmy. this is defineatly one of the strongest tracks
totally nude:another great track. upbeat rythem and slide guitar.more cynical lyrics this time concerining the ignorant naviete of nudists.more good percussion.not samba/latin but more of a carribean tingened song slightly in the vein of(but defineatly not as good) uh-oh, love comes to town from 77.
Ruby Dear: meh, this ones ok like the song says"round and round it goes, whee it stops no one knows". this song is kinda repetitive and lifeless. the percussion saves it from being compltety horrible. david and his vioces sound tired and the lyrics are hard to understand
(nothing but) Flowers: the big hit. bounchy, chipper gutar;neat samba percussion and funny lyrics that long for the sterile safety of modern,technology dependant america make this a very solid song. This is one of the only songs were David actually sounds into doing what hes doing.
the democratic Circus: heres where the album starts to shift gears and slow down much like the two sides of reamain in light. mid-tempo percussion andd guitar. more bored, sleepy vocals that are politically charged. this a a decent political swipe at the state of our nation's politics at the time and the title especially rings true now.its a good mid-tempo song.the only annoying part is the over loud electric guitar that comes in. it grates badly with the rest of the song.
Facts of life:argh, i can barely stand this one! obnoxious, industrial like keyboards drive this song along with plastic beats and preachy,misinformated, opinionated, cliche filed lyrics that try to hard to sound intrested and intellegent (ryming Chipanzee with human being) and too top it off, it nearly runs for seven minutes and is much too repetitive. skip this one or use to torture information out of your enemies.oh, did i mention David sings in falsetto toawrds the end? i'm getting a headache right now.
Mommy, Daddy, You and I: Creepy, dark song about dyfunctional familes. the accordian is kinda annoying and the chorus is oddly and eceptivly cheery.a decent effort. David sounds creepy and slightly ric Okasik-like;cheesy lyrics hurt this song(chilly,chilly willy); but its still good
Big Daddy:another song that utilizies the horn section to its full potential. this one has more of a blues roadhouse feel to it with a harmonica making it's presence felt.more prententious, cheesy lyrics and annoying vioces keep this song from being great.
Bill: Downbeat and reptitve. plastic percussion;preachy, cliched attempt at phillosophy;stoned vocals. its ok but not really worth adding(it wasn't on the vynal verson). does nothing to enchance the album
Cool Water:this song is very dark;lyrics that remind us that while we're partying and worrying about our petty issues(like missing desperate housewives) people are being forced to do other's hard labor for little to no pay and many die;chilling vocal by David;dark, atmospheric guitar provided by Johnny Marr; quiet, yet effective brushed drums by Chris and a haunting Cor Angelis(a type of sax or flute) solo make this the best and most affecting song on the record.
Sax and violins:A bonus song only avalible on the dualdisc edition. originally included on "Until the End of the World" Soundtrack, but recorded duruing the sessions for what would become Naked. this song isn't that exciing and perobably wasn't used for a reason. it relies on electronics and is very cold soundingthe pretentious and often nonesense lyrics don't help either.however,like most of the album, the percussion saves it as does the chorus.worth checking out if your a hardcore fan.
this album is very different hen all the other TH records which is a good thing. if you are a hardcore fan, you'll like it. if you're a casual fan who liked reamnin in light you'll like this; if you liked little creatures and didn't like remain light as much stay away as you'll only find the first two songs and flowers intresting. its not their best and certainly not a great note for them to leave on but just like the seinfeld finale,closing the book on one of the most innvative and best bands of all time is really hard to pull off perfectly.this album suceeds more then it fails.like the rating says, it is a decent album.
definatly try before you buy

Under Appreciated Gem.......2006-04-22
There's a cool '70s funk vibe on Blind (dig the Shaft soundtrack horn section), a great Bo Diddley goes to Brazil feel on Ruby Dear, and an eerily prescient sting to Democratic Circus. In fact 90% of this material has not dated one iota. Overall Naked is a solid, respectable culmination of all that had gone before in the Heads musical explorations. I would posit that this, their final studio release, is the truly under appreciated gem in their musical canon,and that it warrants serious reconsideration.
Uneven, but worthwhile........2006-02-23
Perhaps the most unexepected is the James Brownesque funk opening-- "Blind" and "Mr. Jones" both hit with funky horns, slithery bass and great rhythms, but neither song quite feels right. After this, the material picks up a startling diversity, hinting at the sounds of the Pacific Islands ("Totally Nude"), Middle East ("Dear Ruby") and a touch of Eastern Europe ("Mommy Daddy You and I"). Along the way, they manage to put forth a couple pieces that are distinctly Talking Heads and recapture a bit of the old paranoid energy (the absolutely superb "The Democratic Circus" and to a lesser extent "The Facts of Life") and some of that brilliant Enoesque sound ("(Nothing But) Flowers"). But this level of diversity comes at a price, and the album feels inconsistent, or perhaps like a compilation.
This album has just been reissued in dualdisc with remastered sound-- this is definitely worth the investment to get the remaster, it's night and day from the old releases.
This isn't as fantastic as the band's peak, but after a couple lackluster efforts, it's nice to hear them go out with a bit more of a bang then you'd expect. Those who have explored their earlier work should definitely check this one out.
Better Than People Give it Credit For...........2006-02-04
I always found that the maturity and production value of this album provided a nice foil for Remain in Light. Like the brilliant 1980 album they divide side A and B into upbeat tunes and more melancholy musical explorations. Unlike that brilliant 1980 album, the music here is not quite so esoteric and a little more accessible to the more casual music listener.
The themes of the lyrics also provide an interesting insight into the turbulent eighties.
Unfortunately, many musical fans prefer their groups to stagnate and keep producing the same sounds that their original fans had fallen in love with. People said the same things about U2, INXS, and a number of other bands that they said about the Talking Heads. This seems to be where many of the reviews on this page are coming from.
David Byrne continued to produce intriguing music as a solo artist after this disc, but this album is truly the swan song of the group, The Talking Heads, and a worthwhile addition to your CD collection.

Nude Dimensions: Naked Music, Vol. 1 - The Petalpusher Session Mixed By Miguel 'Migs'.......2007-05-06
Just Awesome!.......2006-09-11
I am a newly re-born house-head. The house beast has been asleep for over 15 years and then I came across Mr. Migs by way of some of the reviews I read here on Amazon. And I learned how much the music has grown and matured and become so sofisticated! My children even tell me they like "my music" LOL!
If you like Deep House, you must own this disc. This CD has great fidelity, it thump, thump, thumps while I am at work or while I am commuting in traffic or when I am cleaning.....just whenever!
Do yourself a favor and pick it up. You will not be sorry!
Sexy naked music.......2006-07-04
This is certainly not the case with Nude Dimensions.
Miguel Migs (petalpusher who I liked anyways) has done wonders in this seemless transition that takes you high then brings it back down to cool and just leades you through a musical experience only a fan of such music could truely appreciate.
Great CD.......2005-12-31
return .......2005-10-16
and still ........
this cd (& nd2,nd3) IS the house, a home of desire for better music a better dream a better love, and this desire will never fade.
Its good for your soul ...
