Bought This For One Song.......2007-06-27

iTunes doesn't have the English version of 'Coming Home', so I bought this album. I don't get why Peter Schilling was so big in Europe, I don't think he's that great. The title track is pretty good but I heard that it was produced later; it's got a rhythm similar to New Order's, True Faith. All the other tracks are fair to mediocre.

The Different Story (World of Lust and Crime)..........2007-06-02

My absolute favorite from Herr Schilling: Major Tom! 4..3..2..1!
Five stars!

Overlooked but excellent.......2007-02-11

I can't believe Schilling got such little airplay here in the states, especially in a time when synth rock ruled the airwaves. Schilling was way better than A Flock of Seagulls or Echo and the Bunnymen in my honest opinion, but the only song I ever remember hearing was Major Tom. This entire CD is excellent from start to finish, not only because Schilling writes such infectious melodies, but also because every song is put together extremely well. Pay close attention to the musicianship, all the performers are very talented. I'm not sure how many instruments Schilling himself plays, or which ones he plays, but he is a very gifted songwriter, and quite a charismatic front man. It's unfortunate that Schilling will go down as another Kraftwerk, Alphaville or And One, having a small cult following when so many more should have been exposed to his wonderful music.

EXCELLENT!.......2005-11-27

I love this album!

I'm a huge fan of Peter Schilling and I was very happy to have ordered this CD because I have played it so much because it's such a great CD! I love the songs from start to finish and I hope to buy his 1999 German greatest hits album to go along w/ this one!

Thank you Mr. Schilling for making such great music!

One of the Greatest Dance Club songs of all time.......2005-11-19

I began as a DJ in the 80's for my fraternity. I remember the first time that I heard A Different Story by Peter Schilling. I purchased the 12" dance remix and it became one of my dance mainstays at every event. People loved it and I loved seeing their reaction to the music. The lyrics and melody/beat are outstanding. Although I like Major Tom, I believe A Different Story is the best on the album. The rest of the songs are very good. The album is a great mix of different music. It is one of those cds that you will listen to in its entirety. I am just sorry that Peter didn't record more music.

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Different World Single.......2007-04-03

This is Iron Maiden's first single from the latest album "A Matter of Life and Death." The single includes 3 tracks "Different World" and two older songs "Hallowed Be Thy Name" and "The Trooper" both of which were recorded during the Radio 1 Legends Session. Great songs, great artwork, what more can one say??

Mitici Iron.......2007-03-08

Come sempre gli Iron non deludono. Lo so, sono di parte, però questo singolo non può mancare nella collezione di un loro fan che si rispetti. Molto bella la copertina con Eddie più incacchiato che mai! La title track è molto orecchiabile anche se poco "ruvida" rispetto alle songs del passato. Proprio per questo sono presenti altri 2 pezzi mitici: Hallowed be thy name e The Trooper, nelle versioni radio edit. Se non conoscete gli Iron vi farete un'idea molto precisa di cosa hanno rappresentato e di cosa ancora possono fare, ovvero dare emozioni!

Up the Irons!.......2007-01-19

The single Different World of Iron Maiden is great!, You have the title song and The Trooper and Hallowed Be Thy Name, Radio 1 Version, so you can have all the versions of these great songs.

Up the Irons!.......2007-01-12

Finally, for once the U.S. version of a Maiden single is actually better than its UK and Europe versions. This is definately worth the buy because Hallowed Be Thy Name never sounded so much better. It is worth buying solely for that purpose because Hallowed Be Thy Name is an awesome recording on this CD. The UK and Europe versions of this same CD have another live recoding of Iron Maiden on it...I love Maiden I have seen them play over 20 times here in California and in Europe, but please I don't need to hear another live version of Iron Maiden...having saying that this CD is definately worth the buy and if you are a die hard fan than find a way to get the UK version of this as well as it has a live photo of the band during the Matter of Life and Death tour. Unlike the U.S. version which only has the cover of Eddie.

Excellent follow up to Breeg!!!!.......2006-11-18

Again, Iron Maiden shows no signs of fading with the second single from A Matter of Life and Death" Different World. This single itself contains the two tracks previously only available on the 7" vinyl single for Benjamin Breeg. For a collector, this is an easy buy, low cost, fun to listen to. With the loud crunch and reasonable speed, this is a great opening track for the album. Upbeat and good chorus. Pick this up, you will like it.

Album Description

De/Vision continues to polish and perfect their own sound, with emotional lyricism, top-notch electronic production, and memorable melodies. Though "6 Feet Underground" may not be the band's most club-friendly album (songs like "I'm Not Dreaming of You" or "Turn Me On" certainly have dance-floor potential) the album still stands out as one of the band's best, focusing on the emotional roller-coaster of love and relationships.

Customer Reviews:

Not as great as I thought..........2006-09-22

I expected more from them this time around but it seemed that they mellowed a bit too much on this album. It's more on the slower/softer side of De/Vision.

The title track was boring as dripping molasses. The rest of the songs faired a bit better. Nothing grabs you from the onset. Get to listen to it a few more times to appreciate some of the tracks here.

Good De/Vision album overall though.

Definitely not for casual listeners.

It sticks with you.......2006-02-21

I recently discovered De/Vision, and I am slowly buying all the old stuff. This one is by far the best, even better then the latest release.

best album.......2005-11-23

i first heard devision a few months back, their devolution album. i wasn't really impressed. it sounded too much like club mix music lacking in creative lyrics. the only exception for me was the song "drifting sideways" which,to me, was excellent. it combined the electronic sound with real lyrics, and a solidified composition.

i have to compare it with trent reznor in that you really need to pair interesting background with an equally interesting lyrics/singing to make a *whole* song, which he does. (though his style is more industrial).

6 feet underground
i LOVE this album. they took the strengths that were developing in songs like "drifting sideways" and made an entire album with that quality. music you'd actually want to listen to, even outside of the club, where you can actually really *hear* it.

for me, this is definately their strongest album. after listening to it excessively, i went back to devolution, and some of it was able to grow on me then.

6 ft is also a somewhat darker album than the others. more emotional/ more somber/ introspective. but not lacking in good beats.

6 Feet Underground.......2005-11-10

Not their finest work to date, De/Vision's "6 Feet Underground" is still a very worthy effort and a good CD for the seasoned fan. Overall, the album has several solid tracks, but very little in the way of a sure-fire, over-the-top hit.

The two singles on the album, 'I'm Not Dreaming of You' and 'Turn Me On' are excellent tunes, and are certainly worthy of being released as singles, but they are relatively slow and not even the best tracks on the album. If you're looking for the more 'danceable' side of the band, then 6FU may ultimately disappoint you.

However, released on both singles discs are several incredible, club-worthy remixes, that I feel are actually better than the original tunes.

My personal favorites on 6FU are the opening track, 'I'm Not Enough' which is in a similar vein to the two previously mentioned tracks, but a little livelier, and 'Take Me Over', which begins with a nice little melody, then kicks you in the head with a hard-driving, Ministry/Industrial-style rift. Sublime.

'Take Me to Heaven', the disc's closing track is a haunting, Depeche Mode, a la "Songs of Faith and Devotion"- type song, which lead-singer Steffen pulls off extremely well. The song's sultry lyrics blend nicely with the dark, desolate composition. Picture a cross between DM's 'Clean' and 'I Feel You.' However, the references to DM and the aforementioned Ministry, are just that, references for the uninitiated. De/Vision very much stand on their own merit.

'Beside You' and 'Right On Time', contrary to most of the rest of 6FU, make you want to move. The former is pretty catchy, while the latter is mostly instrumental, and falls just short of being a club hit.

'Unputdownable' reminds me of early Camouflage, but with much better English, and 'Aimee' is a nice little tune as well. Both songs have been released as b-sides and really aren't any better than that.

The title track is very dark and waaaay too long. I truly enjoy its brooding sensitivities, but it simply seems like they couldn't figure out how to end it. Too bad, because its not a bad song.

'Beside You' is OK, but it is yet another slow-ish track. In general, 6FU has a fistful of very good tunes, but ultimately fails to deliver as a whole. Perhaps if all the slow-ish songs were divided up and put onto several different discs, they would sound even better. But a lack of variation on the CD is really the only thing that prevents this from being one of the band's best.

Sounds like depeche.......2005-10-21

I love de/vision their music is incredible. If you like depeche mode than you'll love these guys. This album is not their best but it is a 10 for me. I cant wait for the next from them.

This is the best of the type I've tried so far. Not only does the sound make one relax, it does help reduce the feeling of pain. I frequently have pain in my joints and long bones--from years of lifting and turning patients--and look for alternatives to pain medication for relief. Meditation has been very helpful, and this CD has really had a phenomenal effect. Even my Great Danes when aggitated and rambunctious can be calmed by playing this CD.

Great Singer.......2006-02-10

I'll never understand why certain artists make it in the US and others don't. Deborah's a great singer and her pop songs are very catchy and very well produced. She's apparently Brazilian (Brazilian-american maybe?) but sings in accentless American English. This album's certainly up to par with a lot of Madonna's early nineties stuff. So why is her album so hard to find and her career practically inexistent in the US? Go figure...

voice godess..........2003-11-19

I`ve been searching for this song "blue eyes" for 10 years...now I`m so happy to discovered this singer...no words to express the feelings that I felt that night 10 years ago while the radio station played this song...everything was ok...and Debora Blando performing this marvellous song...amazing!!!!!!!!

Deborah is just great!.......2003-10-22

Deborah Blando is a great Brasilian singer. She has a beautiful voice. Her best song is Innocence, the greatest ballad ever!! The album "A different story" is a must in all CD collections. Too bad it is so hard to find in stores. I had to buy all of her CDs from the US. Deborah must have been very influenced by Madonna at her early years. Lately she has found her own style.

quite possibly the worst peice of house in my collection.......2004-05-11

quite possibly the worst peice of house in my collection - an unispired collection of french house easily eclipsed by any other "various artists" u care to mention. boring, repetitive. no usable beats, and at times completely unmixable.

I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone dj or other.

etienne, bob sinclar at their worst.

buy "my house in montramiane" or "discoteca" youll be better off.

Interesting but still.......2002-01-23

Interesting cuts, most tracks are remix by Etienne de Crecy, Alex Gopher. If you are interested in collecting all great things french.....buy it. If you are interested in all great things from Etienne & Alex.........buy it.

I've you are looking for great house, move on, if you are into acid-jazz, you might enjoy it.

C'est ca.

A fantastic sampler.......2000-08-01

Don't listen to what has been told by in the only negative review this record had here in AMZ (it was written by an English and they usually don't like whatever come from Europe or US..even if it's really good). SuperDiscount has already deserved its place as one of the best compilations about the new French sound, and you can listen to it in the trendiest clubs of the planet from Ibiza to NYC, from Tokio to Milan. The best track,imho, is Etienne De Crecy's one but all are funny and it's impossible not to dance at....

classic compilation.......2000-07-30

With relatively few French artists following the international success of Etienne de Crecy and Alex Gopher, it seems "Super Discount" will remain a stand-alone classic. Released in '97, the album was instantly a standard bearer for the times, and was such a class act it was regularly named one of the top - if not *the* top - compilations of the year by all the dance mags. Just one listen to de Crecy's "Prix Choc" (he also mixed and produced the album) will convince you that he - along with Daft Punk - reinvented house music. If you like your music funky and soulful this album is essential.

A Fan of the New Sound.......2000-07-24

Well, "Vive la France". This eclectic techno-funk compilation is profoundly sure to spawn at least a couple late night classics with its funk flare. I'm pleased to say we are actually hearing the rebirth the groove, circa 1978. Whether you're into something trance like, trip-hop or just plain sophisticated groove-jazz this compilation will take you on journey through the most elegant and stylish hotel lounge experience. Enjoy!

A sweeping experience!.......2002-08-04

My favorite of her albums so far, Sura adds addictive rhythms to Chloe Goodchild's spiritually evocative voice. The main theme of this album is Hinduism, though other relgious traditions are touched upon as well. Her voice is low, open and expansive. The lyrics are repetitive, addictive, and often (not always) in foreign language. The songs vary from exciting invocations of Hindu spiritual beings to gentler, sleepier, more haunting almost "lament-style" songs influenced by other parts of the world. The sound quality is strong and professional.

This is definitely "experiencial music" - music that makes you feel transported to a dessert with the hot winds whipping through your hair, and ancient temples crumbling in the sand. It's very powerful in that way. But it's definitely not for people who prefer "songs" - as in, clear lyrics and clear melodies.

I recommend it highly for people who like to be swept away in sound and spirit!

astonishing.......2001-10-24

Having been alternately entranced and disappointed by Chloe's previous CD 'Devi' I was not prepare for the loveliness of every track on this recording. The strength of her voice is astounding, as is its purity. 'Om Shiva'is powerful, and the exquisite, indian-ornamented settings of Hildegarde are wonderful - how well Hildegarde's compositions stand up to a melismatic eastern treatment. In particular 'Alilo' is hauntingly beautiful, and defies pinning down to one mood, apart from a shifting ecstasy.

Particularly effective is the use of instrumentation - do I detect the influence of John Tavener in the handbell like tones of 'Alilo'? I originally bought this remarkable lady's CD because of her performance in Tavener's Mary of Egypt - in the time since then, her skills have sharpened (in the Tavener piece, she sounds exhausted by the end)but her voice is still as earthy and ethereal, as deep and as pure as ever.
Truly amazing.

Sura--a great CD for meditation.......2001-03-25

When I first reviewed this CD, I was not fond of many of the tracks--the only one I like was Shiva Om. But now, as I go back to listen to the other tracks, I find myself more and more drawn to it. Self Inside Self is simple, but haunting. Gayatri Mantra is also an excellent song for meditation. I would highly recommend this CD for anyone getting into meditation...

Spiritually inspirational.......2000-08-09

Chloe has gathered spiritual chants and songs from all religions and performs them really nicely. She has a very good voice and had taken the time to put together some nice arrangements, musically.

My favorite cut is the first, Om Shiva, a Hindu chant performed as leader/response. I chant along with the response as part of my spiritual practice and find it very satisfying. It's also nicer sounding than the rough, untrained chanters on other "chant" CDs, and since I'm a singer, I guess I prefer her more trained, sweeter voice.

The other cuts I like are Self Inside Self which everyone maybe ought to chant in front of the mirror each day. Very uplifting. And Remember Me, which is set to the aria music of "When I Am Laid..." by Henri Purcell (Dido and Aeneas). There is also a Hildegard de Bingen chant, an Eastern European lullaby chant, and a medieval chant. Whatever you want is here. Enjoy.

And yes, it is great as accompanyment to yoga and dance. I use it for these as well. In fact, my introduction to this CD was in a Movement Therapy Group.

Gorgeous and evocative.......1999-06-14

In this beautiful follow-up to her previous CD ("Devi"), Goodchild delivers once again with her amazing and powerful voice artistry. The selection "Gayatri Mantra" alone is worth the price of this CD. I sincerely hope Goodchild is already working on her NEXT CD even as I write this! She's phenomenal.
