5 out of 5 stars Supremely Enjoyable.......2005-02-09

I have a deep love for ambient music and the Spotted Peccary label has many masters of the genre. This particular CD is my current favorite. The music immerses you in alpha-theta tonalities keeping your heart chakra open and your mind at ease.

4 out of 5 stars Superlative ambient compilation.......2001-06-02

This compilation of the more sedate and ambient works from some of the artists on the Spotted Peccary label is a great collection and serves as a fine introduction to the "new" direction in which the label is headed. Many of the cuts are halfway between drifting serene "warm" ambient and darker soundscapes. But nothing here is the least bit disturbing or disonnant. Flowing synth washes, subtle percussive elements, warm undertones and drones, and spacy electronics all combine seamlessly, cut to cut, to produce an compilation that plays through superbly. It's almost as if this is the work of one artist in that the emotional and musical tone is sustained throughout the CD.

If you've never explored this label, and you enjoy floating ambient or spacemusic, you can't go wrong picking this up. It's a very solid album.

    4 out of 5 stars Good, not great.......2007-01-07

    There are some gems on this CD. Most of the music is nondescript when you listen to it; it is much more suited to being the background music of a TV show, of course. In other words, it's not like regular music you get on a regular commercial band's CD. In my opinion, the best songs are the Main Titles, in particular the 5th season.

    5 out of 5 stars Indeed it is........2007-01-05

    With his compositions Franke shows how much he understands the B5 universe
    of JMS. A true epic.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!.......2001-11-05

    This is a wonderful sound track. Chirstopher Franke catches the mood of the series with his music and it sounds even better when you listen to a recording, away from the episodes. Buy this.

    5 out of 5 stars This really is the Best of Babylon 5!.......2001-11-04

    Thank you to Christopher Franke and Sonic Images for The Best of Babylon 5! Although I have most of these tracks on other B5 CD's, I really enjoyed this one because of the consistently great music. I would rank this one as excellent, along with my other two favorites, Babylon 5 Volume 2, "Messages from Earth" and the episodic CD, "Sleeping in Light." Two tracks deserve special mention: Track 2 is (I believe) a reworking of music from the album Babylon 5 Volume 1. With the "Battle of the Line" music in the background, Chris Franke adds new ideas to enhance the musical experience. The other notable track is the last one, Track 18 "Bonus Theme." This is a fabulous new track, which I understand was written for the (unfortunately never released) Babylon 5 CD-Rom game. This is six minutes of great music, that cannot be mistaken for anything other than "Babylon 5-style" music. It's a thrilling piece, which alone makes me glad I bought the CD. Let's hope we get the same quality offering with the "Legend of the Rangers" movie soundtrack, which I hope will be released next year.

    Seems like only yesterday the Kronos Quartet stepped up their career as musical mavericks with a coveted, wide-open contract with Nonesuch Records. Now it's Nonesuch's turn to give Kronos the big-package nod, gathering key works recorded by the group--from younger composers and time-tested veterans alike--into this 10-CD box set. As one might expect, the set is stuffed with contrasts, from the first CD, with its 11-part, upstepping John Adams suite and then the far more solemn Missa Syllabica from Arvo Pärt. Nearly 20 of these pieces here were composed expressly for Kronos, pitched and sculpted for their easily-racked mixture of straightforward string quartet roles and intelligently restructured approaches to the even the simplest gestures. Perhaps most key here is George Crumb's Black Angels, in large part due to Crumb's role in inspiring David Harrington to form Kronos 25 years ago. Crumb's music spirals and chases through the air, engaging high pitches and fast pacings as if they were ends in themselves. Gone from this set are most of the short snippets that have filled some of Kronos's other fine single CD recordings. In abundance instead are some of the legendary works: Morton Feldman's long, endlessly patient Piano and String Quartet (with Aki Takahashi), Steve Reich's unnerving Different Trains, and Henryk Górecki's String Quartets Nos. 1 and 2. There are also some of the astounding Eastern European works from Night Prayers as well, including the stunning Quartet No. 4 from Sofia Gubaidulina. And of course there are the Kronos biggie pieces: Philip Glass's works fill one CD, and so do Terry Riley's. What's more, Riley's Cadenza on the Night Plain and "G Song" are presented here in entirely fresh, new recordings. What the listener gets is a huge block of music, full of shifting colors and textures but perfectly apt in giving a wide-angle vantage on what Kronos has done for contemporary music. --Andrew Bartlett

    5 out of 5 stars A worthwhile investment.......2003-10-06

    It would be an understatement to say that this is a fabulous box set. All 10 CDs are packed with some fabulous music that beautifull highlights the first 25 years of the Kronos Quartet, and the booklet included provides a great history of the group as well as nice blurbs on the composers and their pieces.

    Equally nice about the box set is the inclusion of multiple new recordings, thus making this a worthwhile investment for fans. The Peter Sculthorpe Quartets are a particularly nice addition, as are the added Piazzolla, Part, and Riley compositions.

    Along with this, the "classic" Kronos recordings are all here: "Black Angels" "Different Trains" "Salome Dances for Peace" (well, exceprts), and Feldman's Piano and String Quartet. Of particular note, I think is the inclusion of Gubaidulina's Quartet No 4, a fabulous recording that is otherwise hidden in Kronos' recording "Night Prayers."

    Yes, this is quite an investment, but I firmly believe that it's worth it - longtime fans and newcomers alike have a lot to gain from this collection.

    4 out of 5 stars Excelent compilation!.......2001-09-09

    I like more classic period, like Hayden, but Cronos does it very well, technicaly excelent. The ten sets are wonderful recordings and the selection is unique. It deserves the investment, If you buy it, youre going to have more than ten hours of joy.

    5 out of 5 stars Amazingly Now Retrospective.......2001-06-26

    Since their youthful start in the NW back in the 70's, Kronos has collaborated with, commissioned, or just played such a breadth of musicians it almost seems that breadth - and especially non western world culture - is their mission. But, while this conservatively and esthetically designed 25-yr-retrospective box (with its increasingly sophisticated photo-portraits) belies the pulsation of social angst and conscience that underlies the bulk of the inclusions, the latter concern, its vitality and relevance - and not some stylish chasing after cultural breadth - is what overtakes the listener/reader, rather soon. I say reader, since the booklet is very helpful, especially to the relative novice, and well balanced in its coverage of composers, historical contexts, performers, individual texts, etc.

    There are probably more non contemporaries performed by the Quartet over the years than this selection would indicate. That undercuts their ties with the sense of revolution in music throughout the ages, but it leaves more time for the present: and that is where one expects the group wishes to be, is most contributory and challenged, and is best and most fairly judged. Highly recommended, both for those who know Kronos's work well and wish a handsome tribute on their shelf, and for those who do not but are open and ready to be affected, whether impacted esthetically, reminded socio-morally, or whatever combination of both befits.

    5 out of 5 stars How Could You Not Listen?.......1998-12-19

    My opinion pales when compared to this CD. Indeed the group's ingeniousness, its knowing and its balls are in full display here, hopefully to put to rest any lingering contention that there is little more to Kronos than form. To any person who accepts the merits of 20th-century music, this CD presents the genius of our culture and teaches that daring and ingenuity do not have to be sacrificed on the road to technical brilliance. My only regret is that the CD does not include Kronos's interpretation of Bartok. But, so what? Górecki's here, as are Part and Benshoof. Listen to this CD -- soar and struggle with it.

    5 out of 5 stars Good for help to know up-to-date contemporaly music.......1998-11-28

    The Kronos Quartet has released many albums. There let us see what the quartet has tried new titles and arrenges in each period. But this is the best set for understand the quartet as summary of thier works. The CDs are distributed by each composers and we can see thier identities easily.Unfortunately this dose not include all but be enough to see what the quartet has been.I hope that every classical music fans(not only contemporaly music fans) listen this CDs.

    Customer Reviews:

    5 out of 5 stars Historically significant choral works, wonderfully performed.......2004-05-31

    For over 10 years, The VocalEssence Ensemble Singers and Chorus (conducted by Philip Brunelle) has presented an enduring series of concerts showcasing the talents of trailblazing African American composers. Now this wealth of music is available outside the concert hall through a series of recordings called WITNESS.

    DANCE LIKE THE WIND presents works by eight African American composers from various generations, though they all emerged after the neo-classical period of non-discrimination. You'll hear loyalty to classic idioms like the spirituals and blues, but also elements of more recent genres like R&B, gospel and rap. Enclosed are excellent liner notes and biographical information.

    The other three CDs are available as single titles, or in the boxed set entitled THE WITNESS COLLECTION which includes:

    WHAT A MIGHTY GOD: Spirituals and Gospels for Chorus
    GOT THE SAINT LOUIS BLUES: Classical Music in the Jazz Age
    SKYWARD MY PEOPLE ROSE: Music of William Grant Still
    DANCE LIKE THE WIND

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

      5 out of 5 stars The Master's Hand........2001-06-30

      Even allowing for the semi-literate opinion floating out there, those of us who tickle the ivories would say that Dave McKenna has yet to commit to vinyl/CD an album that is less than compelling. To label Monsieur McKenna a one-man-band is to miss the point... for he is no one trick pony. Nuance, Emotion and Shade are just as much his stock in trade as that Stomping Left Hand. This collection goes to prove that a cohesive concerto-like whole can be made of such disparite tunes which only share in common their titles/themes. Invidious to attempt to pick out one track, although the McKenna originals 'Shadowland' and 'Dream 'n' Blue' are outstanding. This is an imaginative and refreshing set, typical of the touch of Dave McKenna. All familiar tunes, yes, but touched by The Master's Hand.

      2 out of 5 stars In my opinion, this cd is not the jazz style that i enjoy.......2001-02-21

      This is not one of Daves' better cds. It is alright, but no cigar, thank you.

      For this cd there were some birght spots, but not enough to really satisfy me. Dave played well on some of the songs, but then played poorly on some of the songs. There was no consistiency of a performance on this cd.

      Well, i'm looking forward to buying more of Daves' product in the hopes of finding that home run. I know it's there, but were is the question.

      I know it must be hard to please all of us selfish fans, but please try!

      Recommendation: I can not recommend this cd.
