Excellent Remix Album.......2007-06-15

What can I say? Incredible song w/ great remixes. Trent Reznor rarely disappoints. March of the *uck Heads is a cool drum instrumental type thingy aswell. I mean come on. How can you not like a song with the title "March of the *uckheads"? If you enjoy NIN, buy this.

Excellent .......2007-05-14

One of the better single/EP releases from NIN (which are, to be honest, usually only a matter of concern for NIN fans looking to "collect them all"), Closer to God has some excellent remixes of Closer as well as the original song. I particularly recommend Closer (Precusor) (which was used in the opening credits to the movie Se7en) as well as the title track Closer to God, which isn't so much a remix as a re-imagining, and in that respect worth considering as a song it its own right.

Really a CD worth owning if you're a fan of NIN or just the song.

Hard to find in stores.......2007-02-13

I looked at 5 different stores before I decided to check on line. I had it in 4 days. Sooooo much easier than going to the store.

Not for kids or teenagers........2007-01-14

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-02-09

'The HYMN-a word derived from the Greek 'hymnos'-has been defined as 'a term of unknown origin applied from ancient times to a wide variety of songs in honor of gods, heroes or notable men.'
The founder of English hymnody is Isaac Watts (1674-1748), whose work in reforming congregational song texts culminated in the publication of his 'Hymns and Spiritual Songs' in 1707. Watts' collection was as complete and comprehensive a set of hymns as had ever been proposed for English worship and it raised the profile of the hymn sufficiently to overcome the prevailing psalmody. The great flowering period of English hymnody began with the work of the Methodist hymn-writers John Wesley (1703-1791) and his brother Charles (1707-1788). The Wesleys gave great prominence to hymns within their Methodist worship and published many books.
The modern hymn book is a collection of hymns drawn from various times and places. This most accomplished recording by St. Paul's Cathedral Choir presents 16 well-loved hymns from 'The New English Hymnal'. A great number of the hymns, which originate from many different eras and traditions, are given an extra musical dimension by John Scott's original descants and thrilling brass arrangements.
Over the years, I have found myself purchasing mostly the recordings of English choirs. They seem to have incredible vocal skills, perfectly executed phrases, flawless diction and some unidentifiable ingredient that makes them very appealing to hear. Of course, I personally enjoy the all male choirs sound; boy sopranos and male altos make the difference. This is a very appealing group of hymns!!!!!

Hymns for every one.......2002-12-01

As I have said already..I am from espiscopal church..these my songs are well know by me...these songs give encouragement when it seems that all hope is lost..these are tunes that are well received....they are also very simple for the every day person to gain strength from day to day..they will become your daily prayer.....

Super Praise!.......2000-06-10

Praise The Lord offers the listener traditional hymns in the English/British tradition. the clarity of the voices make it possible for the listener to follow the words distinctly. The organ soars as accompaniment. the CD provides organ and choral quality for the novice and the experienced musician.

The picture.......2006-12-11

I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

Pretty Heavy-handed stuff here.......2004-03-04

Again, I think altissimo! is going over the top here with the raw patriotism bit. Sure we should be proud of this country, but there does reach a point where it becomes too much and is embarrassing. That point is reached here with this mixed bag of recordings pulled in from over the place, many already released from Altissimo! before and just re-packaged here. If you don't mind patriotism served with a lot of relish then this CD is for you.

Beautiful and inspiring..........2003-11-07

It might not be everyone's cup of tea but One Nation Under God is a beautiful ode to patriotism and the United States of America. There isn't a clunker in the 20 songs on the album, not surprising considering you get things like Nearer My God to Thee, God Bless America or Amazing Grace. A fantastic job by the various military bands who contributed to this effort!

One nation Under God.......2003-10-30

"One Nation Under God" is a great compilation of inspirational patriotic music, superbly performed by truly world-class musicians.
The selection of music was excellent, and very much in keeping with the title and the theme of the album. The opening recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance by Senator Thompson, underscored by a most respectful and reverent lead-in to "God of Our Fathers", perfectly set the stage for the well-appointed and majestically performed music that followed.

Several pieces evoked solemn contemplation and reverence, leading to others of pride, majesty and tribute, all arranged and played with proper respect and appropriate to the theme "One Nation Under God".
This is a magnificent and timeless album that will hold a prominent spot in my collection, and be often enjoyed.

One Nation Under God.......2003-09-25

This CD is absolutely awesome ! From the opening of God of our Fathers with the Pledge of Allegiance by Senator Fred Thompson to the final note of Taps, I could not stop listening. This collection of patriotic and inspirational music is a must for all Americans. As an ex-Navy man and Viet Nam veteran, the strains of The Navy Hymn sent chills up and down my spine. It brought back so many precious memories. This collection of 20 songs is a bargain at any price !

Amazing Collection!! Patriotic Music all on one CD !!!.......2003-09-24

This CD is definately for people who are looking to get some uplifting patriotic music for listening to at home, the office, for parades, barbecues, and ecspecially holidays like the 4th of July. Its got all of America's greatest hits including "The Star Spangled Banner", "Amazing Grace", "America The Beautiful", along with other less well known gems such as "Godspeed", and "Pslam for Band". All of the songs are played excellently by the US Marine, Navy, and Air Force bands. The label that put out this release, Altissimo Records actually specializes in military music, so if you like this check our their other releases. Overall Highly Recommended!!!

The Best Televison Personalities LP Period........2004-09-27

Yes, you've heard of the Quirks from England, that Daniel Treacy guy - This is the LP/CD that vindicates Dan's genius. The guy with the 3 chord song finally pulls it off with no less than 8 Classic Songs out of the 19 that this double LP boasts. Who knows? Maybe you think there's even more Gold here- As a child of the 60's and 70's it's hard to find original greatness but this one does it- from Hard Luck Story #39 to Little Works of Art to Me and My Big Ideas and We will be your Guru's. Wow- It really does not get better than this for original groove rock. After you get through the schlock of Razorblades and Lemonade you may be able to find the sensitive lyrics and stories appealing. I did and find myself going back for more and more. Now that's rare indeed. /Tom Fischer

Album Description

Megumi Kanda, a native of Tokyo, Japan, began to play the trombone at the age of ten. She continued her studies at the prestigious Toho High School of Music in Tokyo, where she studied with Sumio Miwa, trombonist of the NHK Symphony. She came to the US in 1994, and studied with James DeSano, the principal trombonist of the Cleveland Orchestra, at the Cleveland Institute of Music. She is currently principal trombonist of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. Bruce Stark writes: "This project was truly a pleasure to be part of, owing to the fact that Ms. Kanda is an extraordinary classical musician, at once adventurous, creative, polished and gifted. In these arrangements, I have tried to bring out the natural, expressive qualities of the trombone. Ballads such as Wayfaring Stranger bring out the somber, lyrical voice of the instrument, while Gospel Song Fantasy was intended to display a broad range of expressive capabilities, from fast and technically challenging passages to soaring, robust melodies. In We Shall Overcome and Nearer My God To Thee I wrote trombone trio and quartet passages that Ms. Kanda overdubbed, creating a unique resonance that not only a group of trombones (moreover, a group of Megumi Kanda's!) can achieve. I hope the contrast of Mr. Parris' more traditional arrangements for gospel choir and my less orthodox arrangements of gospel melodies offer a fresh and varied listening of these enduring tunes, while preserving the beauty and depth inherent in the original pieces."

Customer Reviews:

Amazing "Grace," indeed!.......2005-12-15

This album is a joy. I suspect that Ms. Kanda has enlivened many church services with these devotional pieces. Her tone is lovely and her technique is flawless, but she shows no inclination to show off with virtuosic affectations. The mostly black choir which she accompanies in some of the pieces adds an interesting counterpoint to the playing of this classically-trained artist. That texts are included for the hymns indicates that her album is an act of personal witness rather than just a series of interesting arrangements of pretty tunes.
As a trombonist myself, I say that Ms. Kanda is as fine a trombonist as they come. Incidentally, "Megumi" means "grace" in Japanese. "Amazing Grace," indeed!

A Very Strange but Oddly Endearing CD.......2004-08-14

This CD aims to introduce us to the trombone playing of Megumi Kanda, a young (and very attractive, if that matters!) Japanese woman who is currently principal trombone of the Milwaukee Symphony, and a former student of James DeSano, principal of the Cleveland Orchestra. The musical selections, though, are very odd; they are arrangements of Protestant hymns, American folksongs, and gospel songs, and their order is mixed so that, for example, shout-out gospel arrangements are followed by mildly jazzy r&b church-school classics like 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus,' followed by a Kanda-overdubbed trombone quartet arrangement of 'We Shall Overcome.' Recorded in Rochester (where the soloist was once in the Rochester Philharmonic), participants include the Rochester Community Gospel Choir, and pianists Bruce Stark, the Rev. Alvin Parris III, and Elizabeth Kanda (the soloist's sister?). The arrangements are by Stark and Parris.

The playing is more than OK. Ms Kanda has undoubtedly followed every trombonist's mantra to practice 'long, low, soft tones,' which she does very nicely. She can also rock. And taken individually these pieces are rewarding (particularly for this reviewer, an old trombonist and church organist). Still, I have no idea who the target audience for this disc might be. Is it trombone fanciers? Protestant musicians? Christians who want wordless renditions of their favorite hymn tunes? (And, by the way, the texts for the hymns are included in the slickly produced booklet. Another odd and slightly evangelical touch.)

You'll have to decide if this one is for you.

decent playing, but not GREAT playing.......2004-07-18

She is a very polished player. There is nothing BAD sounding about this CD at all, but Megumi is not one of the players I would pay good money to go and hear. James Markey, Joe Alessi, and Nitzan Haroz are the trombone legends of our time. Players like these are pushing the edge of the technical/expressive power of the trombone. I think any aspiring trombone student would be better advised to listen to GREAT playing, not decent playing, and this CD is certainly not GREAT playing.
