So many great songs on one CD........2007-01-29

It is difficult to find a CD that has a compilation of great love songs. Usually there are only a few - not enough to warrant buying the CD. However, this one has so many tunes that are familiar and romantic. I grew up with these songs. I watched my parents dancing to some of these and that brings back fond memories. I actually forgot about a couple of these songs until I listened to the samples on Amazon.com and decided it was definitely worth my money. The duets are wonderful. I love "Don't Know Much" and "Tonight I celebrate My Love." Peabo Bryson is one of the most romatic male singers I have ever heard. Remember him with Celine Dion in "Beauty and the Beast"? There are not many love duets these days that I could compare the duets on this CD to - except maybe "I'm Your Angel" with Celine Dion and R. Kelly. I also forgot how wonderful "Arthur's Theme" was. I heard my sister sing it karaoke recently and actually stumbled upon this song on this CD when I was looking for something romantic to listen to. I wish I could write songs as well as these, but at least I know they express the words I cannot say. I highly recommend this CD for the romantic person or couple.

Sit back and relax.......2006-11-10

This is a very relaxing cd to listen to. Not to mention very romantic too.It has a good variety of music on it. I recommend it for a cozy evening.

Power of Love.......2005-08-03

I have really enjoyed sitting quietly and listening to this CD. My favorite "Power of Love" song has always been by Jennifer Rush. Very romantic CD. To be enjoyed with a glass of wine and someone special.

A great collection of easy listening love songs.......2001-03-28

I had been searching high and low for a compilation of what some may consider "sappy love songs." Well, if you happen to love so-called "sappy love songs," as I do, then you've found a great CD! Almost all of the songs on this CD are great and received endless airplay in their day. My favorite selections are the duets - many of which are either no longer available on a regular CD or just were released as singles.

Great Songs.......2000-07-23

Lady in Red will always be a classic....Power of Love, by Jennifer Rush, however, is one of my favorites on this disc, along with Unchained Melody.

Brendan Benson is the kind of guy who still sits by the AM radio late at night, spinning the tuning dial from one end to the other in a hopeless search for the perfect pop song. Little does he know he's considerably helped his own plight by making an album full of them. Unlucky in both love and money, the Detroit singer-songwriter has plenty to chew on with his third disc. Using wistful bubblegum melodies and crisp '60s harmonies, in tunes like "Feel Like Myself" and "Cold Hands (Warm Heart)" he lashes out at former lovers and A&R men with equal venom. "I always wind up screwed without a kiss," he hisses on the Phil Spector inspired "The Pledge." But, in the end the man who counts Jack White and Beck as devoted fans, knows impending success is the best payback. "Maybe I've been caught red-handed, making off like a lucky bandit/ This wasn't how I planned it," he gloats on the title track. It's really hard to argue. --Aidin Vaziri

Instant winner!.......2007-04-05

This disc came up in the best of 2006. Certainly it is in my top five. Always wanted to have a listen but had no access to the net. This album features a smooth, seamless and loveable singer songwriter in the peak of his talents. it really is a four and a half star CD and will be worn paper thin before too long!

FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-01-15

This CD is one of the few that my husband and I both love. Highly recommended!

Way Overrated.......2006-09-01

This stuff isn't that good. There are a couple Cars-eque rockers that are cool but other than that I don't see what the big fuss is about? At the end of the day Benson's work is all mediocre. This is another case of "famous friends" association and hype. Save your money and pick up some classic power pop.

MEGA POP INDIE MUSIC IS THE NEW HARDCORE.......2006-01-24

Oh, how I love Brendan Benson. His album Lapalco will always be my favorite, but this is probably his best. He has taken his obsession with 60's pop, a John Lennon complex, and a corky voice, and created a sound that the phrase "powerpop" doesn't even begin to describe. The vocals on this album match Pet Sounds (...almost)! I want to isolate tracks, but it's almost impossible. Everything is OBNOXIOUSLY catchy and makes me want to sit down and write a great pop song.

Definately An Alternative..........2006-01-12

The main reason i bought this cd was because i had read that it was co-produced by Jack White of the White Stripes, and that Benson would soon be starting a side-band with White. Also because Benson had fans of the likes of Beck and Jack White. I was shocked to find out that Jack had nothing to do with this cd, but pleases altogether with what i was listening to.
'Spit It Out' is definately the catchiest song but seems unlike anything else on the album. Other excellent accoustic offerings include 'Feel Like Myself' and the title track 'The Alternative To Love'.
This cd does move into territory of power-pop status and for this reason is much more listenable. The lyrics are good, and clever on certain songs, and the instrumentation compliments the overall effect of the cd.
Give it a go, you'll enjoy it.

Nice compilation.......2007-05-07

It was good to recover the feeling of these powerful love ballads. Not all of them elicit the same feeling in me, but, hey... this is music. In my view, the first two songs already justify the purchase. You can take the rest as "bonus" features. Enjoy!

Oh. My. God........2005-07-13

How could I forget these songs? This, along with both Monster Ballads albums, are all you need to rock with your lover, Hair Band-style.

I couldn't even remember some of these by their titles. But when I heard *that refrain* at 1:18 on Tesla's Love Song, I nearly cried.

Every song took me back. I was about 13 when most of these (along with the selections from the aforementioned albums) were hits. I went to see Skid Row and Warrant and Trickster in concert. Of course I also loved Bon Jovi, Poison, Guns n Roses, etc. Loved this era!

A must have if you're a fan of the genre!

Can't Fight This Feeling (and Don't Want To).......2005-07-13

One of the best compilations of power ballads on the market, "Feel Like Makin' Love" runs the gamut of emotions, from a longing for love, to loving so hard it hurts, to lost love and heartache. You'll experience the raw emotions each song has to offer as these musicians put their feelings on display for everyone to see.

This CD may help you to relive a long lost love, put an exclamation point on what you might be feeling now in a current relationship, help you visualize the dreams of your heart and soul, or emphasize the ache and emptiness of a broken heart.

Even hard rockers have a romantic side, and this CD exhibits their rough-but-gentle, heart-felt souls. Bad Company "Feels Like Makin' Love," The Scorpions try to rekindle a betrayed heart in "Still Loving You," Foreigner wants to know what love is, REO Speedwagon "can't fight this feeling anymore," Boston's Tom Shulz can't wait to tell "Amanda" how he feels, Cheap Trick remembers a lost love, Winger is "headed for a heartbreak," and Bad English says that everything's all right "when I see you smile."

These songs will have you smiling, sighing, wishing or crying, depending on your mood when you listen to them. If you're ready for a flood of raw, unbridled emotions, then you'll want this CD, and its companion, "Love Bites."

But beware: once you listen to this CD, you'll never be the same again.

The Lost Ballads of Rock, Now Found.......2002-12-21

Wow, I am throughly amazed that I finally found the music I've been looking for for years. This had the best of cheap trick, Whitesnake, and old song of Ratt, and many others. You cannot find most of these songs, musicians in stores anymore. It is very few and far between when you can find 1 tape of the group let alone get everyone you want to hear on 1 tape. I think I have fallen in love with Amazon.com. Thanks for helping me find my music Again.

for any fan who has a romantic soul, the songs on this cd will bring out all the feelings you have been through. from falling in love to losing a love, this cd has it all. i recommend this cd for the different artists and the soul of the music. LOVE LIVE ON!!!

Amazon.com essential recording

James Brown's status as one of the hottest live performers translated into a string of absolutely massive in-concert albums, but none are better than this outrageously funky outing. This is the only live CD available with Bootsy Collins and the original JB's posse, and Brown leads the incendiary ensemble through an airtight set. Only "Georgia on My Mind" reaches for the dimmer switch, but the point by then is immaterial coming after the ridiculous onslaught of "Brother Rapp" and "Ain't It Funky Now"--try to find the impossible seam between those two tracks. A hazardous slipstream of soul! --John Corbett

Customer Reviews:

Whe God throws a party, this is what He plays.......2007-06-25

The first few minutes of "Ain't It Funky Now" and "Give It Up" are the Rosetta Stone of what it means to make a funky sound. It just don't get no funkier.
Paris sure got it goin' on; this is yet another killing live show from the town that makes everyone play at the outer limits of their abilities.
I took the funkiest tracks from this and the Dallas '68 JB cd and put them together on my mp3 player for running, and I can blow out mile after mile without even noticing; take out the ballads and those shows are like a lightning bolt.
The Maceo JB band was super tight, and this band was super rubbery. Both were extreme Funk, inventing the genre as they went. No one has come close to this day; this is the fonk from the Source itself.
JB was the original black power superstar, and in 1971 he was a true revolutionary. That power fairly crackles throughout this recording, and when it busts loose on Ain't It Funky, New Day, Sex Machine and Give It Up, there is an almost mystical energy created, like the sound a sperm might make when it beats the pack of a hundred million and slides in to the egg first.
Bootsy is 19 here (!!!), and he and his brother Phelps bring a loping intensity that has never been equalled; this may be the funkiest bass playing ever captured on tape. I've loved JB since hearing Brand New Bag in grade school, and always knew there must be a live recording that captured the essence of him at this funkiest.
Here it is.
James' voice wavers at points (ten shows in six days in Paris, just another stand in yet another town...hardest workin' man in show biz indeed), but his energy and conviction drive his band to the height of heights, funktually speaking.
Just program Ain't It Funky on your cd player to wake you up. You WILL get up and dance in the shower.
Good God!

The greatest album ever recorded - period.......2007-05-08

I first heard this album played in its entirety on a local soul radio station in New Orleans on New Year's Day in 1996. I was hanging out at a friend's apartment in an old acadian-style house just a few blocks from Tipitinas. The DJ was taking phone calls from listeners who were calling in with their New Year's resolutions. I remember on old gentleman calling in saying "from now on, I'm only going to drink when I'm by myself or when I'm wit somebody". The driving funk of James Brown live in the background was totally infectious! None of us could sit still - we danced and spun and jumped around until we were all breathless and falling down on the floor laughing. Just when we thought we were going to get a break, JB would plow into another crazy energized funk masterpiece, and we were on our feet again, dancing like maniacs - even the people who would normally never dream of dancing with anyone watching. We headed over to the quarter later that day and I found "Love Power Peace" on CD. I had some older James Brown on CD - live at the Apollo, etc. - but THIS was something different. "Love Power Peace" has been my favorite CD of any kind of music ever since. I was fortunate to see James Brown live in concert a couple of years later (I remember seeing him perform on TV as a young child and loved him even then). We listened to "Love Power Peace" all the way to the show and all the way home. The energy and music of "Love Power Peace" IS James Brown. Everybody should own this album.

This tops even your highest expectations.......2007-01-13

Usually for a superstar musician, when archivists uncover some sort of "lost tape" of a show, they will hype it up as the greatest thing EVER. They will make you think that this long lost recording will blow your mind, and will affirm everything that you ever loved about the artist. Invariably, this is NEVER the case. I don't care how big the artist is, I have seen so many Lost Tape Letdowns, I can't even name them all. Miles Davis, Dylan, Beatles, BB King, Zeppelin, Coltrane, Blakey - yes the best of the best have fallen in this regard. Sometimes it makes you wonder, are these guys as good as I thought they were??? Are they a sham???

But guess what? James Brown has Soul to spare. He has Soul to burn. He always did and always will, even in heaven. And when you uncover a Prime Era James Brown Tape, it will NOT disappoint. That is 100% guaranteed. He refuses to lose. When you hear Love Power Peace, you will find everything you love James Brown for, and more. When you play this album, you will be shocked that anyone could have as futuristic sound as the James Brown band had in 1971, even though you have heard this said a million times already. When you think about this show, you will think you would have given practically any material possession you own just to have been there. That's what I still feel. When you think about Phelps' solo, you will rack your brain to come up with any solo in any genre of music including jazz with as much energy, creativity and FUNK as this one. You will wonder how he never had 10 albums of his own.

When you hear LOVE POWER PEACE, you will feel the full force of the James Brown Experience. This Experience was honed with loving skill for almost 20 years before this show. There are few musical artists in the history of the world who can live up to their hype, their Legend, their Ego. James Brown is one of the few, perhaps the one.

ALWAYS REMEMBER JAMES BROWN.......2007-01-13

Since the great has passed on, I figured I would review the cream of the crop from the James Brown catalouge. Recently I reviewed "Say It Live And Loud", another favorite of mine. That particularly is way up there on my faves list, due to the fact that the band in '68 was so damned tight and proffesional, with the man, Maceo movin' the orchestra along. Arguably James Browns best band was that one. Huge. But in 1969, Maceo demanded more money for any futher services, and with just an hour before showtime, James Brown told him to take a hike and called up two kids that had jammed with some chick he was banging at the time... Bootsy and Catfish Collins. They pulled the show out of thin air, which pissed off the crowd that night, who were obviously expecting the tightness and precision that the James Brown Orchestra had come to be known for. What they got was the loose hooks and rythms of the brothers collins, and the beggining of something new... funk.
This is the only live recording of James Brown with Bootsy (he would soon help the Parliament Funkadelic take off) and it shows that James Brown didn't need to rely on his big old orchestra to make good music. In fact, these days, Soul brother number one, is probably better known for what he did after ditching the big band and just jamming loosely wih a couple of stanky funkateers.
This disc is almost the opposite of what Say it Live and Loud is about, but yet still as good and still as powerful. The job gets more than just done here, its louder and grittier than ever. If you are looking for James Brown funk, this is your best place to start.

This Is The $#!+!!!!!!.......2006-11-01

Few albums get me as pumped up as LOVE POWER PEACE (RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE is up there). This stuff is so powerful, so hyperkinetic . . . the heavy funk tracks are very uptempo - it's the funkiest funk I've ever heard. I don't even care to hear the slower original studio tracks after grooving on this. Truthfully, I could do without the screaming, or maybe I'd like it better if it wasn't so loud in the mix because I play this stuff LOUD . . . but I just roll with it ya know? Cause James Brown's feelin' it . . . caught up in the exstacy . . . oh, to have been at this show!

Great 80's Ballad Music.......2006-03-15

If you are like I am and a huge fan of the 80's music era, then you will love this CD packed full of slow love songs from this generation. A must have collection...

One of three great love song collections.......2004-10-05

Love Bites, along with Monster Ballads, and Power Ballads, is one of the three great love ballad collections from the eighties. Here one finds compelling compositions that actually led me to chase down other compositions from some of the artists, such as Cinderella (overall an estimable band, but with three great songs, including "Nobody's Fool", "Don't know what you got til it's gone", and "It's gonna be a long cold winter without your love"). "Good-bye" by Enuff z'Enuff is exceptional, and many of the songs similarly do not fit one genre, but stand as a tribute to the ability of hard-rock bands to make great love songs, simply by the power of their slo-mo exectuion. Well worth the buy.

A great price for all the eighties ballads!.......2002-02-20

I have to admit I'm a sucker for the eighties. I'm also one who has suffered through many bad break-ups especially in the eighties so this brings me back to all those sad days spent crying and watching my boyfriend walk down the halls with another girl. This is music you listen to on Valentine's Day as you watch a sappy movie and eat a box of candy you bought for yourself.

This is a great quality cd with good sound and all the old ones. My favorites on here are "Two out of Three Ain't Bad", "Nobody's Fool", "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and especially the bluesy "What Love Can Be" which is kind of a rare song for a compilation. There are also plenty of other great ones from popular bands from that time. Its definitely a good one for us ladies to look back at that era and remember the old days good or bad.

All in all, one of the best ballad compilations out there. Its a great price. Yes, its sappy but a great buy!

Attention all 80's children.......2001-01-27

For the late 20 somethings and early 30 somethings, this CD will bring you back to your high school years. If you like nostalgic 80's music, you'll like this CD. If you grew up in the 80's, listening to love ballads than you will appreciate the music on this CD. For those who do not like 80's music, especially heavy metal love ballads, STAY AWAY. You will not be satisfied with this CD.

On the other hand, those who grew up in the 80's will enjoy rehashing old times with friends while listening to this dated collection.

4 out of 5 ain't bad!!.......2000-08-03

This CD has a collection of what's supposed to be one of the best Romantic Ballads in the music.. The bands there, well most of them are now out of date.. but some are still giving to the music industry.. The music there is great, as to be of the old ballads that can never be forgotten.. more likely a collectors edition for those who like romantic rock melodies.. i recommend this CD as a gift to an older person, or someone who really needs to hear some REAL good music!!

Supreme Excellence.......2000-10-12

Mere words are not enough to describe the sounds that are heard when this C.D. is playing. Miss. Stephanie Mills has the power in her voice to make your knees buckle even when you're sitting. The C.D. itself is a Supreme Masterpiece. "I've learned to respect the Power of Love" is heart melting. And after the Musical Play she's starring in that I saw recently, I've learned to respect the power of "her voice" even more. She's wonderful, her voice is heavenly and this particular C.D. is a long time coming. Stephanie's ballads are smooth and sultry enough to put anyone in the mood.

What a drag.......2006-12-29

I typically like Laura Nyro's music when it's sung by others - I find Laura herself to sound weird when she sings. That being said, I would take her versions of these songs over the ones presented on the disc. Most are so slow and dreary that they'll put you to sleep, or kill you from boredom. Why do artists these days feel the need when remaking a song, to slow it down? Laura's are slow enough!

Why?.......2006-08-17

Most of these covers do not "get" Laura Nyro's music. They are boring deconstructions which miss the essence, the structure and the ambience of Nyro. Her artistry as a composer is dismissed and her artistry as a performer is glaringly unapproachable by these performers. Laura's music is so personal maybe it never was meant for anyone else to perform, or to put it another way, maybe I am such a major Nyro fan I will never accept anyone else doing her songs. On the other hand, they are great songs, and if only there was an original cast album of the show "Eli's Comin" which played briefly in New York a few years back Laura's songs would shine anew.

Top Notch Tribute.......2006-03-14

First of all, let me say that I can't believe that this album is viewed so negatively by some of the other reviewers. Maybe they want more "carbon copy" renditions or maybe they just want to hear their favorite old folkies (Baez, Judy Collins, etc.) instead of newer acts. Too bad. Get over it. This is one of the finest tribute albums I've ever heard. The women on this album use Nyro's best work as a jumping off point for their own talented versions. Beth Nielson Chapman's powerhouse take on "Stoney End" is so beautiful that it nearly makes me weep every time I hear it. The Roches' playful harmonies on "Wedding Bell Blues" would surely make Nyro smile. I heartily recommend this CD and put it in the same category as the Harry Nilsson Tribute, "Everybody Loves Harry."

Dirge music?.......2004-12-31

I finally got to hear this tribute album to the wonderful music of Laura Nyro. This album has very little of the joy of Laura's music. Except for Honey Cole's version of Sweet Blindness, the whole album sounds like a funeral. Most of the artist's voices were just too small to do justice to the music. Overall this is a very depressing album. I was sorely disappointed.

A very uneven work........2003-05-29

Much like "Tribute" albums to great's like Curtis Mayfield and others, this album is uneven at best. This entire collaboration has a "rushed" feel to me. I dislike the fact that it's a woman's only album, secondly I think the fact that the average age of participants is so young is a serious mistake. Laura deserved an "all-star" tribute, not a [...]slap dab put together.

A tribute album to Laura with no Patti Labelle, no Kenny Rankin, no members of the 5th Dimension, no Bonnie Raitt, no Carol King, no heavyweights? You gotta be kiddin' me!!!! Of the tracks listed I found three that I actually like. The version of "And When I Die" by Sweet Honey in the Rock is awe inspiring, as wonderfully different as it is faithful to the original. I also liked the renditions of "Save The Country" and "Stoney End". Other than that the album's a bust, nondescript cover's by unknowns. Sigh....

What could'a, should'a been.

Luther delivers another classic.......2006-12-14

Power of Love finds Luther Vandross at his peak, crafting immaculate urban R&B hits that are seductive and soulful. The singles "Power of Love/Love Power," "Don't Want to Be a Fool," "The Rush," and "Sometimes It's Only Love" are the high points, but the album is filled with songs that are nearly as powerful, including a wonderful cover of Ben E. King's "I (Who Have Nothing)."

Luther's most dated album, but some great moments still.......2004-08-03

Not only did Luther continue his incredible streak of Platinum records with the Top Ten, Grammy Award-winning THE POWER OF LOVE, but he also followed through on the crossover success of "Here And Now" by scoring two more major pop hits. He had been a mainstay of the Billboard's Hot 200 albums chart for 10 years, and now Luther was finally a force to be reckoned with on the Hot 100 singles chart as well.

Luther also adapted to the changing times by incorporating the then-popular sound of house/techno music into his compositions. Unfortunately, this type of dance music hasn't aged particularly well, so approximately half of THE POWER OF LOVE actually sounds more dated than anything he had released prior. However, this is still a pretty good album, with more than enough reasons to recommend it. Luther has much more personality as a writer and performer than most artists of this genre, and he knows how to craft a killer track. The best dance song is easily the majestic medley "Power Of Love/Love Power" (#4 Pop, #1 R&B, #3 Adult Contemporary), which was a monster hit upon release and still holds up as a classic.

However, there are a few more techno cuts on this disc that also stand the test of time. Even if the emphasis is more on style than substance, tracks like "She Doesn't Mind" and "I Can Tell You That" prove to be irresistible due to their strong hooks and inventive arrangements. Unfortunately, the by-the-numbers "Emotional Fire" is an exception to this rule, and today sounds like relic of the era. And although the urban radio hit "The Rush" (#73 Pop, #6 R&B) packs a undeniably strong sensual punch, the condensed single edit is actually superior to the overlong album version.

With the exception of "I'm Gonna Start Today" (which has clever lyrics, but is done in by a rambling melody), all of the ballads on THE POWER OF LOVE are top-notch. As the earnest "I Want To Stay The Night" and the lovely radio hit "Sometimes It's Only Love" (#9 R&B, #9 Adult Contemporary) can attest, Luther has that special gift for writing and performing songs that not only do justice to his amazing vocal abilities, but also manage to be universal without being typical. Nowhere is this more evident than on the heartfelt smash hit "Don't Want To Be A Fool" (#9 Pop, #4 R&B, #14 Adult Contemporary), which stands as one of his heartbreaking best.

Even if some moments of THE POWER OF LOVE don't hold up as well as others, there are so many highlights, most listeners won't care. Also, though the album doesn't gel into the unified listening experience of his previous recordings, it is so well-made and professional-sounding that it always sounds good while it's on. And it also has an absolutely terrific finale in the epic reworking of "I Who Have Nothing," on which Martha Wash lends a sizzling duet vocal.

Luther phase II: The 90s.......2004-05-14

In the 80s Luther was the big man in soul. Everybody loved this guys amazing voice, and he had 6 hit albums under his belt when he capped off the 80s with his double album 'Best of Luther Vandross: Best Of Love'. So basically coming into 1991 LV was riding high, but for me 'Power Of Love' didn't totally deliver.

Its a nice set at first, but a bit hit & miss. 'She Doesn't Mind' is a dramatic opener, and the title track and 'The Rush' are two great jams, but not all the material here is as cool. Some oF this sounds like Luther going through the motions. Its a nice enough album, but not essential like the early 80s stuff. His 'rennaisance period' really started off with 1994s awesome 'Songs' album. Overall 'Power Of Love' is nice, but maybe more for the serious fans.

A satisfying, unified and sophisticated album........2003-07-02

This 1991 release was one of Luther's most commercially sucessful projects. Though not released as singles , the two best songs were "I Want The Night To Stay" and "I'm Gonna Start Today". Vocally, Luther's at his best on the two above-mentioned songs and "The Rush", "Sometimes It's Only Love" and "She Does'nt Mind". Avoid the new-jack-swing flavored dance tracks "Emotional Love" and "I Can Tell You That", however.

A Decent Addition to the Luther catalogue!.......2003-06-14

As is commonly known, Luther was seeking greater "crossover" appeal with this album and, to some extent, he succeeded. The cut "Power of Love/Love Power" cracked Billboard's top ten on the respective "Hot 100", "Adult Contemporary", and "Hot R & B/Hip-Hop" charts while "Don't Want to Be a Fool" and "The Rush" made their mark, also.

The best track IS the duet with Martha Wash. She and Luther are the epitome of soulful song interpretation.

Why she doesn't record more is one of the great enigmas of modern music!!!

Great, but no prize.......2002-03-31

The selections from the Ring trilogy, Friends in need and Fallen Angel were excellent, however, some of the special request such as joxer the mighty, seemed a little bit rushed. Wasn't that song on Volume 2 already? Where was M'Lila's song from Destiny, or the music played During the first Kiss in "The Quest"
The cd has its good points, personally "It's Over" from "THAB" with its haunting melodies portraying the consequences of war.

Xena;Warrior Princess volume six.......2002-01-09

I am so happy that the last and final cd has come out, now my collection is complete. I am very sad for the show ending, but I am glad to still collect things.

Great Collection.......2001-12-25

Well, I have them all by now, but this last one is a great collection, with the added bonus of the music from A Friend In Need.
Just another fine addition to my Xena collection!

Exceptional.......2001-11-30

I am a fanatic and devoted Xenite.I have a huge problem:i can't stop listening to that cd,since the first time i listened to it,which means 1 month!That cd is really exceptional and i think that every true and genuine Xenite should buy it!It's really good!I was moved when i heard the Fallen Angel part.I was passioned when i heard the Ring Trilogy!I was astonishing when i heard the bonus cues that were included,especially the cue from The Quill Is Mightier(fishin part),oh,i was completely satisfied!
Though,there is a complain:i can't understand,why after 6 cd's,the producers don't do a cd including cues like:M'laila's song,the cues from the Bacchaen festival,music from Deja Vou All Over Again,where in the end,Gabrielle says to Xena those wonderful words,or even the scene of the kiss in The Quest!That,i can't understand it!
Last, i believe that whoever likes LoDuca's music style,should buy this cd.
Pay attention to the 22 cue:Pas De Deux Femmes.It is one of a something and whoever remembers what's the scene of this song,will agree with me!Mmmm!

A MIX OF THE BEST, THE WORST AND THE MISSING.......2001-11-29

To all truly Xena fans this CD is a must-have but have some lacks... Fun (comedy episodes music) scores destroy the the great combination of FALLEN ANGEL, THE RHEINGOLD TRILOGY AND I FRIEND IN NEED. In the first selections LoDuca creates spectacular high level music good enough to be played in a Symphony orchestra concert. The others selections have easy-to-fill-space western cowboy music instead of put M'Lilas song of DESTINY, Amazon's climbing trees of ADVENTURES IN THE SIN TRADE and NAJARA vs XENA music that would be gladly accepted by us. I doubt the company will launch a next CD but if they'll do this track and another valuable more must be there and the adittion of some famous characters quotes like "I have many skills" from Xena.
