Album Description

Multi-faceted Hip-Hop superstar Common is prepping his highly anticipated seventh album, Finding Forever, for a July 31st release on G.O.O.D Music/Geffen Records. The album is the follow up to the four times Grammy nominated, critically heralded and Kanye West produced Be, which spawned hits including The Corner, Go, and Testify. Finding Forever, finds Kanye again taking the bulk of production work with help from Will.I.Am on the sultry I Want You, the late great J. Dilla on So Far To Go, featuring a surprise guest appearance by D'Angelo and G.O.O.D Music producer Devo Springsteen on Misunderstood. On Finding Forever, Common, rips the mic like a hungry newcomer. The street single The Game produced by Kanye with scratches by the legendary DJ Premier is a horn drenched, vintage NY rap boom-bap banger from the Chi-town emcee, no less. The resounding lead single The People finds Common lyrically asserting why and who he creates his music for over regal strings, delectable keys and hard to get vocals by Gil Scott Heron. This is the explicit version.

classic music CD.......2007-06-27

The CD was well represented by the clips on the Amazon website and came in time for our event. We did have a problem with the charge but that was taken care of promptly. Great service.

Good for beginners.......2007-02-15

It is an excellent collection of classical music. I would recommend this CD if you have a friend who don't like classical music, since it has the most beautiful overtures and portions of famous artists. If you are a Classic Music Savvy you probably will not be impressed by it, unless you want to play the CD as background music in a friends gathering.

Great mix.......2007-02-14

All the best composers! Over an hour of music. A samble of the greatest pieces.

Good for first-timer.......2007-01-22

This is the first time I have ever bought a classical music CD and I was very pleased with this one. It has a good variety of selections. I would buy it again.

Sousa's marches.......2007-06-28

Excellent CD! I'm happy with the speed in which it arrived at our home.

OK, But Not As Good As the Original.......2006-08-12

It's OK, but doesn't have the quality of Sousa's original songs which were also played by a United States Marine Band.

Sousa Marches, MC Band.......2006-08-04

I was totally happy with the CD. It was everything I expected it to be. Thanks Much

This is so great!.......2005-03-27

This music speaks to my inner being, my father was a Marine with the ETC, and it was not an easy time. Music like this helped him think about how the best things in life are two doors down on the left, just a shade away from peace. I love this music, track 13 speaks to me so much that I am not sure if I have the time to listen as much as I want to! Such great music!

A Great Sousa Collection.......2004-12-15

These recordings seem to date from the 1960s and reflect a style of play that is impossible to find today. Some people might consider the sound to be too bright, the entrances too aggressive. But I think this is more authentic for Sousa than what one generally hears today. Sousa himself is known to have preferred "enthusiastic" entrances from his players, to have favored an "orchestral" sonority for his band and to have played his marches in strict tempo with no ritards or tempo changes. That is what you have on this disc, which features the Marine Band under Lt. Col. Albert Schoepper, who also conducts on Volume 3 of Altissimo's Sousa Original series.

Patricio.......2007-07-18

This is my second CD by this artist and I truly enjoyed all the songs.
Just as good as his first CD.

I CAN'T STOP SMILING!.......2007-07-18

I just discovered Patrizio here on Amazon while looking for other CD's. My first purchase was "Buanne The Italian". I suppose being Italian didn't hurt my choice. : ) It didn't take long for me to fall in love with this incredibly talented young man. I decided to purchase his second CD too. Well, it's 7:55 AM (eastern time) and i'm sitting here at my computer listening to "Luna Mezz 'O Mare", or "Way Ma Ma". I've listened to it about 6 times already and I can't stop repeating it. I remember this song from way back, probably from my parents and I just wish they could have heard him. They would have loved him. I'm not saying you have to be Italian to enjoy Patrizio, but it helps! I don't speak any Italian (with the exception of a couple of words), but I enjoy him immensely. He really mixes up the music and his romantic songs are wonderful. What a voice he was blessed with and his personality goes right along with it. You will know what I mean when you see his DVD. Incredible! I just wish I could see him in concert. I know I said too much, sorry!

Nancy S. : )

Simply beautiful.......2007-07-12

Wow ! What a beautiful album. So very Italiano and so romantic, I love this album,so well done. I cannot wait till he makes another.

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!.......2007-07-06

This CD is fantatic! Patrizio is the best new romatic singer ever. I loved every song and have listened to them many times. You will find yourself singing them in your head even when you are in the middle of something else ( working, cleaning, driving, walking, etc.) Patrizio's voice is strong and powerful, yet soft and romantic. He sings with feeling and emotion and makes you think that he is singing just to you. Buy this CD. You will love it!

Who'd have thought?.......2007-07-03

I saw Patrizio in concert with Matt Dusk. I went to see Matt who I very much enjoy. It was the last date on their tour and Patrizio was really flirting and talking with the audience. I was a little bit annoyed because I wanted more singing less talking. I bought the cd because I enjoyed the songs I did hear and Patrizio has a very nice voice and a very classic style. I played this cd over and over and was smiling every time I heard it. There are some very fun songs as well as some romantic ones. I like Patrizio more now that I've heard this cd. It makes you want to dance at an Italian wedding.

One of rock's most overlooked masterpieces, this third album by the L.A. folk-rock outfit led by inscrutable singer-songwriter Arthur Lee sounds as fresh and innovative today as it did upon its original release in 1968. With David Angel's atmospheric string and horn arrangements giving the work a conceptual underpinning, Lee explores mainstream America's penchant for paranoia ("The Red Telephone") and violence ("A House Is Not a Motel") with songs that are as sonically subtle and lilting as they are lyrically blunt and harrowing. Add two gems by Love's secret weapon, second guitarist Bryan MacLean ("Alone Again Or" and "Old Man"), and you've got one of the truly perfect albums in rock history. Rhino's deluxe reissue serves up seven bonus tracks, including outtakes, alternates, and the "Your Mind and We Belong Together"/"Laughing Stock" single. --Billy Altman

A Classic!.......2007-07-12

A classic album that needs to be part of your collection. Could'nt revive my plastic. Don't miss out.

LOVE's apex.......2007-07-04

"Forever Changes" has appeared on the "top 100 album lists" of many major rock reviewers. Why? There are elements of other great bands in this album, which raises the old "which came first?" conundrum. The simplist and safest resolution to this argument is to say that these bands (THE DOORS, BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD, etc,) were all influenced by, worked in, and contributed to the "melting pot" (no pun intended) that was the LA music scene at that time. In addition, there are even a few "touches" of British influence here, but those were also evident on their first album. Overall, this is an album that is unique enough to have withstood the test of time and continues to provide aural pleasures to new listeners. It has been suggested that drug use may have contributed to the oblique lyrics on this album and, yes, the breakup of the original (and best) incarnation of this band. Beyond this explanation, however, is the poetic aspects of the lyrics which allow us to impose and fill in our own intrepretations of the songs. That quality has contributed to their lasting appeal and is at the base of much good art. Like all great artists (whether it is Picasso or the Beatles) it was their ability to combine old things in new ways that made them unique and transcend the obvious and mundane. You either tell a great and universal story that everyone can relate to or you create an environment in/on which people can superimpose their own experiences. LOVE could certainly tell a straightforward rock and roll tale, but it stood out for its ability to do the latter.

Highest Recommendation.......2007-05-26

The best acoustic guitar rock/pop album of all time. Sure, at times its sentimental, cheesy and sixtyish, but WTF, so am I. About the remastering job from Rhino, you're absolutely right, it should have been much better. Oh well. Peace

Forever Changes forever!.......2007-05-17

Greatest Album Ever! There's so many versions available these days though, I thought I'd chime in and recommend this one for the music. The sound is a great improvement over the first single CD release AND there's bonus tracks. Don't fall for the more recent 2007 release. No extra tracks and the print is so small you won't be able to read who did what witout a magnifying glass. If you've never bought this album, I suggest buying this CD version along with the Sundazed vinyl release. Sundazed puts out a killer re-issue with excellent art reproduction and quality vinyl. It's actally fun to play the vinyl and CD at the same time and switch back and forth to see if there's any difference. CDs are so intrenched in todays culture that people forget that a clean vinyl copy on a good turntable sounds just as good, and sometimes better. All this talk bout digital this and digital that also makes folks forget that speakers as well as human ears are, and always will be, analog!

Great album, horrid remastering, irrelevant bonus tracks.......2007-05-04

Those pop culture curators and preservationists over at Rhino usually do a fantastic job of remastering and repackaging old classics for the new century (see, for example, the excellent reissues of The Stooges, Gram Parsons, The Cure, etc.). Unfortunately, they completely and totally butchered the sound on this otherwise fantastic folk-psychedelic gem.

I am not an audiophile so forgive my non-technical description but basically they cranked up the bass which muddies and overwhelms the vocals, guitars, horns, and strings--essentially all other sounds. Further diminishing the sound is their unnecessary separation of said instuments: you have the acoustic guitars isolated to, and hence, coming out of only the left speaker, the horns coming out the right one, etc. This has the effect of providing neither good mono nor good stereo but some sort of crappy offspring of both.

Given the fact that the bonus tracks are ho-hum at best, you'd do best to seek out the now out-of-print original issue. It's cheaper and the sound quality is better by some distance. (I'll give the Rhino folks one mulligan or two, but please don't ever ruin one of my favorite albums like this again!)

I intially bought this album for a few selections I had heard from Classical 102.1 (KDFC-FM). I was pleasantly surprised that the entire album has a very satisfying collection of the greatest marches. I am very pleased with this album, and would recommend it for anyone who likes a broad range of famous marches.

Fun.......2007-01-21

This CD would make a great gift for anyone who enjoys marches. Some of the marches are popular, others are not. All are well-performed and can be enjoyed - LOUDLY!

invigorating!.......2006-12-05

Great recordings of stirring music. I like to play it loud while my kids and I clean house. It makes it go by fast.

Totally awesome!.......2005-03-27

My father was a Marine in the ETC, he told me stories about how they went floor to floor checking for bad guys humming this music. I think it is great music to listen to, I really like track 3, it says so much in the title alone. I hope everybody like this music as much as I do!

With his singular retro-rock vision, Chris Isaak had already graduated from cult figure to music-video heartthrob when he delivered this 1995 album. But if all the surface elements are intact, he has assimilated his chief vocal influences, Orbison and Elvis, even further, and Isaak's songs dig even deeper into his favorite subject, heartbreak, to shorten the distance between writer and singer. "Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing," the set's opener, employs the same growling rock-speak as George Thorogood's notorious "Bad to the Bone," but without a trace of irony--Isaak lashes the listener with the torment of a betrayed lover, telegraphing fear, desire, and anguish as he wheels from rumbling accusations to keening falsetto cries. Elsewhere, he withdraws to the more lyrical croon of his previous work, his band wreathed with the throbbing tremolo and ghostly reverb that are their natural elements. There's a folk-rock jangle to the lovely, forlorn "Somebody's Crying," a disarming directness to the simple but aching title song, and another burst of fevered agony, "Go Walking Down There,"which gallops over a perfect mid-'60s guitar arrangement. For all its letter-perfect allusiveness, though, Forever Blue feels authentically heartbroken, not just cleverly crafted. --Sam Sutherland

On the road, its best to listen to it.......2006-10-28

Everyone has a retreat for listening to music, mine is my car on my long road trips as a travelling salesman.

This is a good album to watch the scene go by while letting it sink in..

A rock masterpiece.......2006-09-19

"Nothing matters now to me / Now that I lost my baby" For anyone who has ever felt this way after experiencing love, only to have had it slip through your fingers, this CD is for you. Isaak wonderfully captures the raw emotions of losing someone in these songs, which is why this CD excels so well. He wails as he laments his loss, though he is angry about it as well. Those of us who have gone through this experience understand it very well; we want our love to come back, yet at the same we direct our anger at this person because it is that person's choice. We are helpless because we cannot force the person to come back. "So please, return the love you took from me" he pleads viscerally on "Somebody's Crying." He is trying to cope with this loss and says some things that virtually ensure she won't come back. At this point, he realizes she is not coming back, so he lets the anger surface. The guitars become electric in every sense of the word as they complement the frustration and venting in his voice. A Hammond B3 sounds comfortably at home amidst the guitar and drums, and rock music is the perfect medium for the feelings being expressed. "Everything will work out okay / But not for me / and not for you." With this statement, he perfectly expresses the finality one sees at the end of a relationship, as though that is the end of life altogether. This person is someone we want so much and half of ourselves is suddenly gone. This CD came along just as I was going through this turmoil, which is why I am very thankful to Mr. Isaak for creating this fantastic music.

Chris' voice makes me weak in the knees!!!!.......2006-04-26

This is one of my favorite CDs of all time! Chris Isaak could sing 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall and I would swoon. Everything about this album is perfect, from the voice, to the guitars, to the really-gets-under-your-skin melodies and lyrics.

Somebody's Crying is on my list of the greatest songs ever because it makes me sad and makes me want to dance at the same time. If Chris sang "please return the love you took from me" to me, I wouldn't be able to resist. There She Goes is another favorite. It makes you ache inside to hear the feeling in his voice as he's watching the girl he can no longer have walking along with someone else.

Every song on this album is well-written and incredibly infectious. I, like so many others who have reviewed this album, can listen to it all the way through without having to skip a dud song. This is Chris Isaak's very best album and no self-respecting music lover should be without it. Did I mention that I like Chris Isaak? A lot?

So Very Good.......2006-02-12

Great stuff, year after year. This album is a particularly good one from a really fine artist. What more can I say? Thank you Chris Isaak! You've added an irreplaceable dimension to many many hours.

Forever Blue=Forever Great!.......2006-02-11

I don't know the history of this CD, but I heard it was about his relationship breaking up. Listening to the songs and the theme played throughout, it seems to fit.
This work is awesome. This was the first Chris Isaak CD I ever bought and it remains the best (although I like his other work, too).
There are rocking numbers (Goin' Nowhere), soulful reflections (Things Go Wrong), heartbreakers (Forever Blue) and happy little tunes (I Believe). There is something for everyone. Isaak's range (both in voice and in selection) is varied, but always pleasant.
This is a beautiful work anyway you choose to think about it.

Forever, for Always, for Luther II.......2007-05-12

I wanted to purchase this cd when it first came out but I procastinated and I was sorry because it is an excellent cd. I especially love all of the jazz rendentions of Luther's compositions. I listen to this cd almost every day. I loved Luther singing the songs and now I love listening to the music.

...for Luther II.......2007-03-11

I loved it. Anything by Luther Vandross, and particularly by these musicians, is wonderful and soothing to the soul. Thank God he left us so much of his music.

I was alright. Not as good as the first.

Music we all need to hear once in a while........2007-01-04

This album is well put together and I enjoy the old standards. Music is an integral part of our heritage. Often when I listen to this album, I think about what our country has been through and how very, very important it is to appreciate what we have. I spent 3 years living in France in the 60's and I cannot tell you how much all Americans looked forward to going "Home!"

Enjoy!!

A very good CD.......2005-06-16

If you like a mix of songs and marches very well played, this CD is for you. The voices of the singers are good, the music support the lyrics and it is easy to listen or to sing along. Also, nearby half of the tunes are played by the Band of the Grenadier Guards and for me, this Band is the best band to play Sousa marches and military marches. The precision of the execution is perfect, the sound is lovely and the technical quality of the recording is perfect. When I listen Anchors Aweigh, I always hear the sound of the waves and it is one of the only bands that gives me this feeling. If you have just one CD of military music to buy, you may buy this one; it is a best buy.

Revision of history.......2005-03-27

As usual, "Dixie," "The Bonnie Blue Flag," and other songs of a Southern genre are conspicuously absent. Why not throw in a couple of rap tunes to make this album truly "American?"

Lovely CD--shameful misspelling on the song titles.......2002-11-22

I do not own this CD--though it appears it would be a wonderful album to listen to. I was compelled to write my review because of the misspelling of our national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner (as opposed to "The Star Bangled Banner" as it appears not once but twice on the song list). I do hope this error is corrected.

The Ultimate Patriotic Album.......2002-07-20

For all those patriots out there who want to listen to classical patriotic music, then get this album. This has a lot of tracks from yankee doodle march to the Washington post march. Even Amazing grace is here. The orchestras and the chorus here, gave there best performance ever.

Enjoy
