Customer Reviews:

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Has it's stand out moments.......2007-05-16

As I'm always on the look out for good music, and after reading my Boys Olukayode excellent review of this CD, I thought I'd take the plunge and order it. This CD passed me by on its initial release, as i was only ten, and was more into football than music, anyway I digress. The first track: 'Stuff Like That' I had heard on Quincy's Jook Joint CD, and If I'm honest I prefer that particular as it seems more lively than the offering, but it may be because i heard that version first. 'I'm gonna miss you in the morning', and 'Love, I never had it so good', leave me feeling a bit cold, but that maybe because, being mid-tempo songs, they don't do much for me, as the more up-tempo joints. The first standout for me is the 'Tell me a bedtime Story' song which is a lovely flute driven ( i think) instrumental, with a sung chorus, that raises and falls, and stays in the memory long after it has finished playing. The other is the last song on the CD 'Takin' It To The Streets' featuring among others a youthful Luther Vandross, which is a Gospel inspired anthem with very thoughtful deep lyrics. 'Love me by name' and 'Superwomen' are OK, but don't really stand out to my mind. This CD has introduced me to Quincy Jones, and the next on the list is "The Dude".

Q Marks The Spot.......2006-06-12

After owning this on vinyl for almost 30 years, I finally got it on CD. The record still played well but it was beginning to show its age. Then there's the fact that they no longer make cars with tape players, apparently, and I need something to play in the new car I'm getting next month.

But most of all, I'm just bored beyond endurance with the majority of music coming out these days and have decided to spend my money going into the archives and revamping my record collection.

I am completely unabashed about my adoration for Quincy Jones. To me he is literally the best producer, conductor and arranger of my generation and I very much doubt I'll see anything to equal him in my lifetime. From the various magazine interviews and TV appearances of him I've seen, he seems like a pretty cool dude too.

This is the album that introduced to Q. I was 15 going on 16 and up until that point, the pinnacle of my musical pleasures had been provided by disco queens and old-school reggae dons. I mention no names. And then one day, my mother sent me out for some milk and I stopped by the house of this older guy I was friends with at the time. He told me he'd just bought a new album and asked me if I wanted to hear something special. I said sure, he put the record on and time just seemd to stand still. I stood there, transfixed, eyes wide open and mouth agape. And this was just to the first strains of the first song on the album, the title track, "Stuff Like That."

I literally didn't move a muscle until my friend had played the entire first side of the album and the first two songs of the second side. I was entranced. I had never heard anything like it. The clarity of the music (My friend had a pretty decent sound system. Sure it was 1978 but still), the lush orchestration that while complex was never overbearing, the solos...

And then there were the voices... boy, what that man can do with voices.

I came to, and left to run my errand. I got a sound clip around the ear for being late with the milk. Happy days. I vowed I was going to get a copy of the album for myself and vowed I was going to get a stereo system like my friend's. It was a year before I succeeded with the former and another nine before I managed the latter but there can be no doubt: It was Quincy Jones who set me on the path to the appreciation of quality music. That same year, Q produced The Brothers Johnson's "Blam!" and the soundtrack to "The Wiz", which is how he got to meet Michael Jackson. The following year he produced Jackson's "Off The Wall". The rest, as the say, is history.

It was on this album that Q introduced us to Bruce Swedien (even his name sounds efficient somehow) and his "Acousonic Recording Process". There's a detailed explanation of how the process works on the album/CD inner sleeve and whatever it is they do, it seems to work. Few producers have been able to match the quality of the sound produced by the collaboration of Jones and Swedien. It's my bet that few ever will.

The album is a veritable array of stars, both established and emerging (at the time):

"Stuff Like That", a funky tune featuring Valerie Simpson and the legendary Chaka Khan on vocals. Sax solo by George Young.

"I'm Gonna Miss You In The Morning", a ballad featuring Patti Austin and the late Luther Vandross on vocals (and this was some years before he went on to become the megastar that he did). Lyricon solo by Tom Scott.

"Love, I Never Had It So Good", a stomping choral piece with Patti Austin and Charles May on lead vocals. Electric sax solo by Michael Brecker, Fender Bass solo by Anthony Jackson.

"Tell Me A Bedtime Story", probably the first ever jazz tune that made me sit up and pay attention. Herbie Hancock lays down electric piano improvisations and Harry Lookofsky records his violin over the track, copying Hancock note for note. He doesn't do it just once though. He does it several times, over and over, and the end result sounds like an entire string section. But it was just one man! Flute solo by Hubert Laws.

"Love Me By Name", intense ballad sung by Patti Austin. Keyboards by Herbie Hancock, Guitar by the late Eric Gale.

"Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You)", another, more mid-tempo ballad sung by Patti Austin. Flute solos by Hubert Laws, Electric piano solo by Herbie Hancock, Lyricon solo by Tom Scott.

"Takin' It To The Streets", brings the album to a close with a gospel-influenced stomper. Luther Vandross and Gwen Guthrie, both of who have since passed away, sadly, provide vocals. Tenor sax solo by Michael Brecker.

There are no extras on the CD, no gimmicky remixes or video clips and that suits me just fine. There are just seven pieces of good quality music. Best money I've spent all month.

Average Q, Above Average for Everybody Else.......2005-10-17

" Sounds And Stuff Like That" is Q at his best. He seems to always get the best talent around to record for him. It dosen't matter if they're singing or writting songs for him. Case/point, "Tell Me a Bedtime Story" was written by Herbie Hancock.It no telling how Herbie would have done it if left to him. Now lets keep in mind that Herbie is a musical genius himself. But throw Q in the mix, and you have a song that is remembered for all time. Q can take an arrangement and make it better. The title track is another example of this. Being around Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie helped him develope the Big Band sound that you can hear dominate every song on this effort. there is so much good about this effort that I can't list them all. "Love me By Name" sung by Patty Austin, "Sounds And Stuff Like That" sung by Valerie Simpson with the dominating vocals of Chaka Khan. This album is a prime example of Q taking great talent and making it better. Average Quincy.

An all-time favourite.......2005-09-12

This has always been one of my favourite albums, and I'm so happy that I've finally got it on CD. Every home should have one! :-)

Quincy, I Never Had it So Damn Good!.......2005-01-26

Just listen to the piece, ''Love, I Never Had It So Good'' and tell me that this doesn't move you. This is the most creative piece of work I have ever listened to. I had an employee of a vinyl record store play this album and even he was moved by that song. Luther Vandross sounds so young on ''Sounds...." he really does sounds a bit different than on his later recordings. Vandross comes across as fresh and more soulful back then than he ever did in his 80's recordings. ''Love Me By Name" is just wonderful and I dig the black choir that comes in to accompany Patti Austin. I have heard other Jones' production but this one takes the cake. It is the best one I have heard. ''Tell Me a Bedtime Story''moves the hell out of me. I am not jiving yall. Please buy this record!! You can't go wrong with Chaka Khan, Ashford and Simpson, Luther Vandross, Herbie Hancock, Patti Austin, and Gwen Gutherie coming together to make a really prolific album.

Sounds Like Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass.......2007-05-15

During the 1960's I purchased all of the albums by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. Unfortunately I've misplaced them but now it's so wonderful that they are available in CD which once again I am able to enjoy Herb Alpert's wonderful sound. I also enjoy the enclosed booklet that talks about the making of some of the songs in the album.

On of the best.......2007-04-12

This CD has some unique songs on it. The arrangement for "Wade in the Water" based on an old African spiritual, is fantastic. "Bo-Bo" was played during one of the TJB's TV specials on the Delta Queen steamboat and has that unique travelling beat. I love Herb Alpert's songs so I find it hard to find fault in any album by Herb and the TJB.

Sounds Like.......2007-03-04

Perhaps the hippest Tijuana Brass recorded ever recorded, Sounds Like was Alpert's eight album. For this album, the drums and bass are heard more making there more bottom to the sound of the recording.
This album includes the cool tunes, Got A Lot Of Living To Do, Bo Bo, Wade In The Water, Town Without Pity, and The Treasure of San Miguel; the orchestrated, Casino Royale, the theme song to the movie of the same name; the happy tunes, Lady Godiva, In A Spanish Town, The Charmer, and Miss Frenchy Brown, and the ballad, Shades of Blue.
This would be the next place to start after SRO. A soulful album, anyone with taste would enjoy this record.

Herb Alpert still as fresh as he was 40 years ago........2007-01-14

My earliest musical memories were of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass and this album ranks as one of my all time favorites. While many critics dismissed them as "schmaltz" and "pedestrian" you can't talk about the music of the 1960's or popular music in general with out including the music of Herb Alpert. My favorites on this disc are "Wade in the Water", "Lady Godiva" and "Casino Royale". As with my other discs that I originally had on vinyl, I still remember where side 1 ended and side 2 began on this album because I had to wait for a grown up to flip the record over for me.(Hey I was only 5 at the time.) If you're looking to buy a Herb Alpert disc to get an idea of what all of the fuss was about "Sounds Like..." is a good place to start

One of the Best of All Time.......2006-11-22

This is one of the best instrumental albums of all time. The remastering made a great work even better.

Product Description

The follow-up to Black Labs critically acclaimed Geffen debut Your Body Above Me (feat. "Wash it Away," Time Ago), See the Sun is a lush, epic union of heartbreak and rock & roll, diamond-cut lyrics set to hard candy melodies, raging guitars and gin-soaked stories of love, loss and redemption. Like U2 and Live and the Goo's getting drunk together. Like a five star hotel, you check in and youre sorry to check out. Their new album has a depth and emotional range that broadens with each listen. Grammy award-winning engineer Tom Lord-Alge (Live, Blink 182) mixed most of the album. What shines brightest is the band's pop sensibility the liquid swirl of "Remember," the epic sweep of "See the Sun," the raging loss of "Without You," and the open-armed surrender of "Lonely Boy." Black Lab has contributed to the soundtracks of Spider Man, Can't Hardly Wait, Varsity Blues, Permanent Midnight, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Party of Five, What I Like About You, MTV's The Real World, and most recently, Blade: Trinity.

Another good addition to collection.......2007-02-11

If you like black lab then what can I say you'll enjoy it. I'm not one to analyze every aspect. If it makes feel like moving then that is all I care. I think I almost like it better than their first. You won't waste your money.

Amazing CD.......2007-01-05

I've had this cd for over 2 months now and I can't stop listening to it. If you loved Black Lab back in the 90s, you will love them even more. Songs like Lonely Boy and Remember will stay in your mind for days. This is a must buy!!

Perfect!.......2006-12-26

Ever since I heard 'Learn To Crawl' on the Spider-Man Motion Picture Soundtrack I had a thirst to hear more of Black Lab's music. I bought this CD, praying I would not be let down. I wasn't one tiny bit. I LOVE this CD! I wasn't too pleased with Your Body Above Me, which I found moderately okay. I found this much superior. The only song I didn't like was Ecstasy, it just didn't have a catchy beat or lyrics and wasn't very memorable. With awsome songs like 'Lifelike' 'Wide Open' 'Without You' and 'Tell Me Why,' this CD will keep you entertained for hours while you hum along to your favourite songs. The lyrics were insightful and catchy. The music fitted perfectly to each and every song, each song being unique in it's own special way. Buy this CD, it's not a waste of money. Black Lab is an awsome bands which deserves more recognition. After listening for this, I have a thirst for a new album by Black Lab!

This is a great,great CD. It is not as impressive as 'Your Body Above Me', which is truly a masterpeice, but this is a great CD. Fantastic vocals and melodies, unforgettable. A great CD from a truly incredible band. Glad to see they are still around and putting out great music, anxious to hear their next effort.

Don't buy this here.......2006-03-13

This is a very good album by a very underrated post-grunge band. This album is very different from "Your Body Above Me", but it's still a very solid, well-crafted effort. One gripe about it iss how rare it is,m though. It took me forever to find it, and I didn't want to pay $20 for it here, so I searched the internet. There is a webiste called Alternativeaddiction.com (google it). They loved this album, and they sell it for a mere $8 for download. And you pay through PayPal, so its a safe, fast transaction. So do yourself a fovor: but his great album and, if you haven't already, get "Your Body Above Me" (it's better). And buy "See the Sun" on Alternative Addiction's website.

Enjoy!

Music Poetry Romance.......2007-03-08

Don't be put off by the negative comments judge for yourdelf as I did. I found this by accident looking for some romantic music for my lady and that is exactly what I found. Now I need to see the film. The music conjures up such a feeling, relax listen and enjoy. Imagine moonlight skys, the sea gently lapping along the shoreline,candlelit dinners with the one you love. This will leave you with a warm feeling and if not then you will not know romance. The poetry is warm sensitive and well read, a bonus to the CD.

Il Postino (Le postier).......2007-02-01

Excellent album. En plus de la musique originale du film, plusieurs lectures de poëmes de Pablo Neruda par des acteurs et actrices de renom, sur fond musical.

True Romantic Cd - www.michaelpalmer.net.......2006-12-18

If you are a true romantic, you will love this cd, even IF you are not a fan of some of the famous stars who read the poetry - I know I am not a fan of most of these actors, but it does not take away from the excellence of this soundtrack. If you like this cd, please look at the tv series Beauty and the Beast cd. It is called "Of Love and Hope". It is a must have cd.

lovely!.......2006-09-07

The musical score is haunting without resorting to melancholy. It befits Pablo Neruda's timeless poems. Highly recommended, even if not all of the poetry readings are well executed.

WHAT DID THEY DO?!.......2006-04-01

What is this trash?! This film is beautiful but the soundtrack sucks big time. They should have used the actor who was playing Pablo Neruda to read the poems in ITALIAN! It's a beautiful and romantic language but no..they screw it up with actors from the U.S. OMG! I HATE JULIA ROBERTS! she makes the soundtrack even worse. I spit on this cd! believe me..I would so give this trash 0 stars but amazon doesn't allow it!

Nice downtempo.......2006-03-09

Tina Dico is among my favorite female vocalists who do work in the downtempo electronica scene (she's known mainly for her work with Zero 7). Between this EP and her recently released CD "In the Red", I'd purchase this one for sure. 3/6 songs are gems, with my favorites being "Break of Day" and "Warm Sand" (the latter of which is on "In the Red"). Definitely worth checking out!

Not bad, not great.......2005-09-01

As other reviewers have stated, I am also a huge Zero 7 fan and was excited to see that Tina had released a solo effort. I had high expectations for the album (more like an EP) based on her excellent vocal contributions on the last Zero 7 album. Unfortunately, not blown away. If you enjoyed the ladies of Zero 7, I'd recommend you track down Sia's solo album, Colour the Small One. I haven't seen a domestic US release yet, and the import is quite expensive off of Amazon. I was able to download the full album off of her label's download site(...) for the cost of an average cd.

Want more?.......2005-08-30

As it has now been said, Tina has released 2 albums prior to "Far", "Fuel" & "Notes", and if anyone's interested [and want to avoid going through resellers, like the other reviewer](...)
They carry "Fuel", "Notes" & "In The Red"!

Loving her music! :-)

This Dane Rocks.......2005-06-01

Scandinavian exports have been flooding the music scene recently. The latest addition is Danish ice-queen Tina Dico, who formerly handed her vocals to chill out gurus Zero 7. Dico is following SiA's footsteps post-smooth electronica and delving into her solo career. Her first effort is a little short for an album.
Far is more like a promotional EP than a full-length release. It has six tracks on it and it showcases a young and eager talent.
Dico revisits her lounge days with "Warm Sand" a track reminiscent of her collaborators. Yet on the closer, she managed to deliver a stark folk performance on the melancholy mesmerize of "Back Where We Started."
Her voice is not spectacular but it holds a tune. The sincerity on "Break Of Day" proves that.
She captures escapism on "Let's Get Lost" and sweet enigma on "Haunted." The gender lullaby "Boys And Girls" is also a treat after a couple of listens.
Far is a great effort for six tracks. It captures innocence is a slow-mo manner. She had managed to please, now is the time for a full album.

Amazing talent..........2005-05-28

Like another reviewer on this site, I discovered Tina Dico quite by accident while flipping channels, and saw the end of the Jimmy Kimmel show. The fadeout song was 'Home' by Zero7, sung by a pretty blond with an intoxicating voice.

Of course, they didn't tell who the band was, so I had to scour the web trying to find out who they were. I promptly bought Zero7's 'When It Falls' CD and am quite happy with it.

A little more web research led me to Tina Dico's homepage (Tina Dickow in her home country), which led me to 'Far', Tina's only album that I can find in the states.

I highly recommend 'Far'. After a couple of listens my wife and I became avid fans. Her lyrics are introspective and practical at once. Her delivery is fluid and soothing. The album gets played over and over at our house. It is a little on the short side, so we're hoping for more from Tina soon.

I hope she goes far with her career.

Smartly-played account of Gulley's musical heritage, warm voice & easy-going, avuncular style.......2007-04-29

Playing Time - 42:22 -- Bluegrass runs in the family. Until hearing this album, I never realized that Grasstowne guitarist Steve Gulley is the son of Don Gulley, an original member of the Pinnacle Mountain Boys in the 1960s and early 1970s. An exceptional band that featured twin fiddles and fine singing, they reformed as the Pinnacle Boys after some personnel changes. "Sounds Like Home" includes a father and son rendition (along with one of his former employers, Doyle Lawson) of a favorite hymn, "Nearer My God To Thee." The set also includes two numbers from the Pinnacle Mountain Boys, "Little So & So" and "Cheater of the Year." The latter appeared on the band's 1974 Rounder LP.

A former member of Mountain Heart, Steve Gulley gives us a very solid set of bluegrass with a traditional underpinning. In keeping with his solo album's title, "Sounds Like Home" has handpicked songs that reflect his musical upbringing, heritage and heart. Besides the nods to his father's keystone repertoire, Gulley selected four gospel numbers from the old "Red Book" Baptist hymnal. Vic Graves provides spiritually-infused reverence in the lead vocalizing on "No Not One." Arranged as a vocal quartet, "Prepare To Meet Thy God" also features a cameo appearance by J.D. Crowe and is one of two songs on the disc with Dale Ann Bradley's vocal harmony. A featured vocalist at Renfro Valley Barn Dance, Steve's wife Debbie provides another silky smooth feminine touch to the album on the country duet, "My Elusive Dreams." Other secular offerings include "The Grand Tour" (a hit for George Jones), "Another Day" (a Reno & Smiley nugget), and Steve's self-penned "Mountain Heart" (about a love of his east Tennessee mountain home). The latter has all of his former Mountain Heart bandmates in the mix. In classic brother duet style, Steve sings a tenor to Barry Abernathy's lead on "All Alone" to close the album with a vintage 1930s sound of two voices accompanied only by guitar and mandolin.

Whether Steve's bluegrass thread is hereditary or more recently sewn, his supporting musicians also sound like extended family of old friends and close relatives. To obtain a cohesive, balanced overall sound on the album, Gulley enlisted a core group of stellar guests including Tim Stafford (guitar), Adam Steffey (mandolin), Ron Stewart (banjo), Randy Kohrs (Dobro), Tim Crouch (fiddle), and Jason Moore (bass). Russell Moore sings tenor on "Cheater of the Year," Jeff Parker sings tenor on "Livin' It Down," and Shawn Lane sings tenor on three cuts.

While we're looking forward to an album from Steve's new band, "Sounds Like Home" is a genial and uplifting statement of his own individuality and creativity. Making a solo album can be a challenge. Most of the leading, directing and decision-making fall on one's own shoulders. An artist has few boundaries unless they are self-imposed. Steve only plays guitar on two of the songs so this CD is mostly a smartly-played account of his musical heritage, warm voice and easy-going, avuncular style. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)

This is by far the most beautiful CD I have ever listened to. I love it so much I have given it as a gift to family friends and they all love it as much as I do and it has quickly become everyone's favorite. It is truly music to adore and nourish your sprite and soul. Aeoliah is a genius - I give this music my highest recommendation.
