5 out of 5 stars 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!

5 out of 5 stars 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!

5 out of 5 stars 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!

3 out of 5 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars Much different than the previous two.......2004-12-29

At first listen, I didn't know what to think of "when it all comes down". It was just so freakin different. The pop-culture references of "act your age" were gone, the furious pop-punk of "kings of pop" was gone, and the production was crappy at best. I gave it a couple more listens tho and it grew on me alot. There IS more of an emo-punk vibe here than on the other two (compare the lyrics on "I win, you lose" to those of "she's anti" (act your age) and you'll see what I mean), but it's still basically pop-punk. I'd put this as my third favorite HG album, right above "that's business" (back when they were ska...i dont like ska). Overall, the album is catchy, the lyrics are cliche and the melodies are sweet...in pop-punk, that formula can get you a long way. I'd still recommend "act your age" (which is of the same caliber as "enema of the state" by blink 182) or "Kings of pop" (it's drive-thru produced, need i say more?) over this one...

4 out of 5 stars A Message from Johnny Trash..........2004-11-06

"the EP was recorded on their own in a home studio with a budget that was 2% of the cost of KOP. It doesn't sound too bad for an EP. The next full length will definitely be a lot better." taken from a HG message board.

3 out of 5 stars 3 stars...sigh.......2004-10-31

When I went throught the tracks the first time, I thought "Man, this is just Kings of Pop part II, but more cliche." The second track starts off with the lines "Cross my heart and hope to die / stick every needle in these eyes..." That is SO corny. Yet I couldn't hate the song because it was so darned catchy.

I'll admit it. This EP grew on me plenty. It's nowhere near the masterpiece of Act Your Age, but I don't think they'll every put out something so awesome again. It's impossible.

Act Your Age also had the best production. Everything on this EP sounds like the mics were too far away from the instruments, especially the vocals. As with Kings of Pop, J. Trash's voice left behind it's signature punky sound and now mimic's Adam's super-high voice. The old duo was perfect; this is less fun.

I have to give this three stars, though it pains me. So come on guys, please, go back to acting your age...

3 out of 5 stars Catchy, Raw, and Cliche.......2004-10-30

The best part about this ep is the production. It is produced very raw without any frills. You can tell this from the first hook on the album.

Seeing that this is the best part, now we'll move on to the music. Home Grown departs from their humorous, sometimes meaningful, pop-punk to move to a more "emo" sound. They still manage to be increadibly catchy and poppy, although one could say they've matured. With this maturation comes the good and the bad. These 6 songs are about relationships, especially those gone sour. This fails as much as it succeeds. While "Keep Your Distance" and "I Was Right About This" are quite good, both lyrically and musically, songs such as "Cross Your Heart" and "What Would Love Do Now" are cliche. While you want to connect like you do on Distance and Right About This, the lyrics are too god awful to take seriously.

Seeing that this ep is cheap and that half the songs are good, very good, it is a worthy purchase. Just don't expect consistance.

5 out of 5 stars Their best release since Act Your Age.......2004-10-29

Track 6 is simply the BEST HomeGrown song ever. And tracks 2 and 3 are better than practically every song on "Kings of Pop". I've been a fan of theres for a long time (since 1997 or so) and I own every cd and ep they have put out, but I was pretty dissapointed in Kings of Pop. "When It All Comes Down" has restored my faith. Can you dig it?

5 out of 5 stars Champagne Music!.......2006-07-09

Thank goodness that these well filled CDs of selections from three of Offenbach's most entertaining and tuneful operettas are available. Exactly the thing to provide some hearty nourishment for Winter nights. Ideal also for a Summer barbecue. In both cases, a glass of champagne, or at least some other bubbly beverage, would be good to have at hand - everything here no doubt will call for a toast or several.

It is so nice to be able to hear in these translations the witty words, sung with welcome clarity and meaning by these admirable artists. As I recall, there were no microphones in sight, and perhaps not even used, when this production of Orpheus In The Underworld was brought to Australia, with a few cast changes but the same sparkle as shown here. Crisp diction and lively, often lovely, singing - a great recipe for enjoyable listening indeed.

The recording sounds a bit shrill here and there, but what a churlish quibble; to Hades with such curmudgeonly qualifications! This is music to raise the spirits, and not just those from Hades.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars another great, underrated band.......2004-02-15

Miaow was one of the somewhat famous C86 bands from the eighties. Except for a couple compliation tracks and a single ("When It All Comes Down") released on the Factory label, nothing else was released.

Cath Carroll was the leader of this band. Mark Robinson, former Unrest (and current Flin Flon) member, had a somewhat odd crush on her. He dedicated a song to her (aptly named "Cath Carroll") and put a picture of her on Unrest's "Perfect Teeth" cover.

He begged her to do a single or something for his Teenbeat label (a good label, by the way), and she eventually caved in after awhile. Soon after the single, she released a solo record, also on Teenbeat.

Was Cath Carroll really all that great? Well, thanks to LTM (whoever they are), we can finally find out.

The most notable thing about this collection is the quality of the songs -- and seeing how most of them have never seen the light of day until now, it's kind of weird. One wonders why exactly. "Fate" is particularly catchy, with a lovely, stuttering lead vocal weaving through awesome keyboard flourishes. Other standouts include "Grocer's Devil's Daughter," "Did She?" and "Sport Most Royal."

But nothing, and I mean nothing, tops the wonderfulness that is "When It All Comes Down." Both versions on here are simply amazing -- particularly the extended "Catechism" mix. It exemplifies all the great things about the original version greatly, creating an incredibly satisfying experience.

Not all the tracks are as great, but there's more than enough material here to justify a reasonable purchase. If you like danceable post-punk/pretty jangle pop, you should be more than happy with this release.

        Customer Reviews:

        5 out of 5 stars Review of Americans in London.......2006-03-09

        The recording is excellent and replaces my old 78 recordings which I transferred to tape some years ago. But they have that horrible hissing noise which spoils my enjoyment of them.
        It is to be observed that although the cast is American, the orchestras and conductors are British (except for Debroy Sommers). I know qite a bot about Deboy Sommers and Lew Stone, but can anyone fill me in about Reginald Burston?
        The CD is great. Thank you to Amazon for this.
