4 greats on one CD.......2007-06-21
Anything by Oscar Peterson is great. Anything by Clark Terry is great. When you add the two together, along with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen, you have better than great music. No one played jazz piano like Oscar Peterson. No one. Clark Terry, in addition to his wonderful jazz chops, was also one of the wittiest and funniest jazzmen around. Mumbles proves that. Fantastic music and laughs as well. How could you possibly do better?
OP TRIO PLUS CLARK TERRY - WOW!!!!!!!!.......2007-06-10
There will never be a more tight, swinging trio in jazz history than Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, and Ed Thigpen. But when you add the brilliant, hysterically funny Clark Terry into the mix, you have an album for the ages, drenched in the blues and consistently swinging.
It kicks off with Brotherhood of Man, a catchy Frank Loesser tune, and from the opening horn call and response with the rhythm section, things are flying. Thigpen's fills are nonpareil, and he drives the band with incredible power and precision. His brushwork on Rondelay is superb. Brown as always lays down a great resonant walking bass line,(he's the upright's standard bearer) and Oscar is at the peak of his powers as a soloist, and very much in control pushing the envelope behind Terry's hilarious Mumbles. Terry is marvelous; both his open and muted horn work are exhilarating and always in great taste. The only misgiving is that the playing time is relatively brief. Recorded in 1964, this album is timeless. Most highly recommended.
Wonderful!.......2000-12-27
It's got Clark Terry and Oscar Peterson...need I say more? What an outstanding CD! Buy It Now! With Peterson's lighting fast right hand riffs and Terry's mellow flugel/trumpet sound it just doesn't get any better. LISTEN TO MUMBLES!
Nothing swings harder than this..........2000-11-06
While almost every O.P album swings like an unmentionable, this one has everything else in play as well: inventiveness, sensitivity, the lines that picasso would have been proud of, and Mumbles, baby, Mumbles!

With One Plus One Is One, lovable, romantic, woolly-hat-clad eccentric Damon Gough has produced his best album since his glorious debut (The Hour of Bewilderbeast). With Badly Drawn Boy shunning LA in favor of a Manchester studio and with Andy Votel back at the production helm One Plus One is a wry, self-mocking, and exquisitely personal album that finds Gough re-evaluating the sudden fame that found him working with Joan Collins, recording soundtracks, and residing in California.
The opening title track sets the mood with Gough exhaustedly intoning "Back to being who I was before/ Open up your door/ Give me some peace/ Hold me now/ Everybody is waiting outside." Other highlights include the playfully clumsy rhythms of "Four Leaf Clover" and the epic and ingenious "Holy Grail," the latter coming complete with weaving flute, children's choir, pounding piano, and lyrics able to break a heart at half a listen. Charming, disheveled, and unpretentious throughout, One Plus One Is One is a superb comeback that will warm the hearts and delight the ears of his loyal fan base. --Christopher Barrett
Customer Reviews:
Sorely Disappointed.......2006-08-15
I do not like this album. The tunes on this are unimpressive, and the lyrics are monotonous and similarly unimpressive. I ordered it on reading a few reviews and let me make clear it is nothing like Bewilderbeast (which is excellent), if you are a BDB fan. I even think Have you Fed the Fish Today is a better album overall.
The Best BDB Album!.......2005-11-04
If I could I would give this album 4 stars and a half. It nearly apporaches perfection. If the hour of the bewilderbeast is an amazing album. This for me, was done with more effort. This album remindsme of being in a nice and comfortable bar listening to a guy playing his acoustic guitar and singing these songs. Easy to digest, easy to like. My fave tracks are: One plus one is one, This is that new song, Another devil dies, Year of the rat (probably my BDB fave), and Logic of a friend. This album won't dissapoint you. Give it a try.
Return to Bewilderbeast.......2005-09-06
One Plus One Is One is a return to the emotional modern folk sound BDB cultivated on the magnificient Hour of Bewilderbeast album. His previous two releases were a bit of a detour: they were interesting but didn't have the same emotional impact. 1+1=1 sounds like Damon Gough has gotten back onto the path of Bewilderbeast, but matured along the way and progressed from there into new territory. The album has nothing but great songs on it. The lyrics in "This is That New Song" about a failed relationship are wonderful. "Summertime in Wintertime" sounds like Damon is channeling Jethro Tull with some wild rock'n'roll flute. Another Devil Dies, Four Leaf Clover, and Holy Grail stand out as memorable favorites, but really it's hard to pick favorites because all the songs are so good.
Like a fine wine..........2005-07-19
Being a huge BDB fan, I really wanted to love this CD. He's extremely talented and refreshing compared to a lot of the junk out there.
Having listened to it many times through, I have decided this CD gets better with time. My first listen to One Plus One is One left me feeling dissapointed. I didn't like the direction he went in, and I felt like he was trying too hard after getting so much criticism with Have You Fed the Fish.
I gave the CD a rest, but then one day I felt like giving it another try. To my suprise, some of the songs I originally didn't care for, I started to like. As I kept listening to it, I really began to enjoy it.
Something tells me this CD will be on the extremes--Either you love it or hate it--Don't be too quick to dismiss this CD, though...give it some time. You just may end up really liking it!
A new fan is born!.......2005-03-07
I am new to Badly Drawn Boy. I discovered him, probably like many, through the film 'About a Boy',and was drawn in by his simple and yet effective melodies. I have been yearning for some mellow, guitar, songwriter kind of music recently, and this is far beyond that!
This album is wonderful. He has an amazing ability to write beautiful and melodic songs, many with just a string section, some great chords and a guitar. And yet there are also some epic songs on here, as mentioned before, 'Holy Grail' has a childrens choir and the song somehow works really well with all the funky experimental stuff going on.
This album is perfect for sitting and chilling to. I like to study to it alot! It has catchy upbeat tunes to keep you motivated, and yet it isn't at all distracting.
At least take a listen to 'One Plus One Is One' , 'This is That New Song' and 'Year of The Rat' to give you a feel for this album, and enjoy!
5 out of 5 stars!

Perfect.......2005-02-15
I love classical music but I dont own very much of it, so I thought I would start my collection with Masters of the Bow. What a beautiful selection it was. I just love the sound of a Violin, Joshua Bell is my favorite,I would love to hear more from him. This collection really helps you get to know the masters. Lovely Lovely!
Outstanding.......2004-08-17
I love the violin and this collection is one of my favorites. A great choice for someone like me who doesn't know enough about music and never knows what to buy. It has introduced me to some artists and pieces that I knew nothing about and will help me know what to look for in violin music in the future. This is my favorite but I would also recommend The Cello and Voice CDs in the "Masters of" series. I can't wait for more in this series.

Sure, there are more inventive or intense contemporary Christian acts out there. But as acts aspiring to boy-band fame in the CCM market go, Plus One are the best. Their harmonies are really solid and intricately woven together, their convictions undoubtedly heartfelt, their arrangements uplifting. The message is as pure as the golden melodies these boys let loose. --James Conde
Customer Reviews:
swallowtail loves it.......2007-06-18
The Promise, by Plus One, is definately my favorite CD. I got introduced to the group by reading a fiction book where the main character finds the album on the internet. I decided to check them out-and I found an album that I listen to over an over again. This album is awesome, both with lyrics and musically (I love their sound!) I advise you to check it out-you'll love it too!
WRITTEN ON MY HEART makes me really thankful to God-His love is truly written on my heart. GOD IS IN THIS PLACE reminds me that I am never alone. THE PROMISE gives me hope in Jesus, while MY LIFE tells me that while it's okay to have fun, I should never forget to pray and listen to God. This song is also like an invitation to come to Him for those who haven't. SOUL TATTOO is a song of thankfullness and greatfullness to God (beware of this one-it will get stuck in your head for days!) I WILL RESCUE YOU reminds me that God will always be there for me whenever I need Him, and WHEN YOUR SPIRIT GETS TOO WEAK gives me the hope that my brothers and sisters in Christ will be there to encourage me. LAST FLIGHT OUT is a beautiful love song that makes me want to cry, while RUN TO YOU is a cool song telling me to run to God "when the world gets so cold and my heart is fifteen below." BE is like God telling me He loves me. HERE IN MY HEART is another pretty love song (stock up on the tissues with this one as well.) MY FRIEND demonstrates the preciousness and value of good friendships.
All the lyrics in this album are solid and clean, and the music is amazing! This truly was a great find!
Plus One more star!.......2003-07-06
When I first heard that there was going to be not one, but two Christian boy-bands (the other being True-Vibe), I have to confess that I was not crazy about the idea. My fear was that they would be a "boy band" first and a Christian group second.
Fortunately they turned out to be the reverse of my fears.
"The Promise" was one of the best albums of 2000, vaulting Plus One to the tops of not only the Christian charts, but the secular charts as well. In addition to a concert tour that was a huge hit, Plus One also popped up in a few TV shows during 2000 and 2001.
Nearly three years later, many of the songs on this album still receive a lot of radio play on both Christian and secular stations.
Although the group was put together by an outsider (i.e., someone not in the group itself) and all the songs were written by other people, the message in this album is clear: God is not just out there, but He is a big part of your life. This message is made clear by the songs "Written On My Heart," "Soul Tattoo," and "Here In My Heart."
Probably the most popular of the songs on this album, at least in the Christian circles, is "God Is In This Place," a reminder that God is here, there, and everywhere.
The group has recently dropped from five members to three members with the departure of Jeremy Mhire and Jason Perry. The remaining three have decided, at least for now, to stay a trio. We'll have to wait and see what the future holds for them. In the meantime, get acquainted with this group through this album.
one word...AWESOME!.......2003-06-15
This CD is great! The group has great vocals, spirit, and style. This is DEFINITELY their best album yet!
The best thing that ever happened to christian music!!!.......2003-03-22
The only word to describe this C.D. is WOW!There isn't a song
I don't absolutely love on here!The song Written on my Heart is
awesome,God is in this Place and The Promise are sweet songs that you can't skip.(Listen to the song The Promise if you're sad.)My Life is more secular sounding,but the lyrics are like an
invitation to Christ.Soul Tattoo is SOOOOO good it's not funny!
I Will Rescue You is a pretty song that slows things down a little,When Your Spirit Gets Too Weak talks about helping each
other out when we're weak.Last Flight Out is a soft,beautiful
love song,one of the best songs on the CD.Run To You is really
good song (The mechanical voice is too cool!)Be,I didn't listen
to that much but it really grew on me.Here in my Heart is
another pretty love song that you have to listen to.And what
album is complete without a best friend song?My Friend is a
perfect ending to an awesome CD.Nate,Jason,Gabe,Jeremy,and Nathan are very talented singers!If you don't have this CD. yet,
go get it.Now.You won't regret it.
...
it's a good cd..........2002-12-05
i'm not a big plus one fan, but i have to say this cd was a lot better than their other ones. this seems more Christ-oriented than their earlier cds. this is definitely an improvement, and, although many people think the love songs are inappropriate for the cd, i think that they're relevant to a non-Christian's life, which makes the cd appealing. their love songs are 'clean' & they represent love in a way that God intended love between two people to be.
i appreciate how honest they are in their lyrics -- 'for you i would fly, at least i would try' last flight out -- instead of going on about all that hype about sex & drugs. the title song, the promise, also has beautiful lyrics -- 'all you can see is dark and lonely days ahead, but remember Jesus said: He knows every star in the sky...in His arms you're never alone.'
if you're looking for a good cd, you've found it. i would also recommend 'ZOEgirl' and 'joy williams' if you like pop. :) God bless y'all!

Sweet, and syrupy; just the way it should be........2006-10-12
Chamillionaire and Paul Wall are two of the few emcees I like in the mainstream scene. It's not because they have anything truly provocative to say, but simply because they present their rap with so much flair and style, that it's impossible to overlook them. Chamillionaire has gone a more lyrical route, while Paul Wall is continuing the subject matter that the Screwed Up Click made famous in the underground in the mid-nineties. On this release, it's easy to tell both men were brought up listening to Screw's music, much like the rest of the Houston scene, and they use the perfect mix of harmonizing flows about 'Lacs and grills, over trippy, and hypnotic beats.
While it's true that Paul nor Chamillionaire are profound lyricists, dropping GZA knowledge on this release, they are both damn good rappers, able to flip sweet punchlines galore. Clever metaphores abound throughout this album, while Chamillionaire sings the hooks in each song. I know Cham gets some flack for singing the hooks in his songs, and has even be labeled "50 Cent Jr." by some people because of it, but for the Chamillionaire detractors, face it; Chamillionaire has a slick voice, and is one of the few rappers who SHOULD handle his own hooks(the only other I can think of is Cee-Lo, and, well, he's made a career out of crooning now).
The Swishahouse crew handle production duties, and as one would expect, that's a good thing. It's hard to get an album sounding this authentic to the Houston sound Screw crafted over a decade ago, but 4 years ago, Swishahouse brought it; and they're still bringing the tight production today. These aren't songs to 'get crunk' to; these are songs to chill to. This is an ideal album to listen to whether you're taking a late night drive, or simply chilling out in your home with your headphones on. Calm, cool, and downright dope, the production on this album matches the charismatic duo perfectly.
If you're a fan of the H-Town sound, then this is perfect for you. Even if you're not, it's still incredibly difficult not to love this release. If you can find it, pick it up. Highly recommended.
Still N Luv Wit My $$$.......2006-02-12
I had just moved back to Houston from Seattle when this LP dropped and was in heavy radio-rotation around H-Town. Being away from the South for so long actually made me come back with a greater appreciation for Southern hip hop and the H-Town sound.
This probably isn't the album 4 you if you're looking for a Nas' "Illmatic," Jay-Z "Reasonable Doubt" or Wu-Tang "36 Chambers" type of album -- lyrical masterpieces.
That's not to hate on Paul and Cham b/c they got somethin' 2 say.
This is definitely an album you can ride 2 ... N Luv With My Money is still one of my favorites.
It's really too bad Paul and Cham fell out after this album though I'm not sure I'd even want them to try to top this LP if they got right again.
Fun, fun, fun hip hop album. Recommended for those who like to chill, have a good time and ride to some highly entertaining hiphop music.
Worthwhile.......2006-02-08
I enjoyed this CD quite a bit. The production is pretty good, while both rappers do show some nice lyricism throughout the CD. In my opinion does a better job than Paul Wall, but that's just me. Either way, this CD is worth buying.
weak !.......2006-01-05
anybody who likes chamillionare is trippin'. his flows are weak and his lyrics are weaker. come on "bullet proof vest on my chest so i won't get shot by cupid". is he still in kindergarten cause his flows sound like he's on a playground. paul wall is ok but he should stick to his day job makin' grillz. chamillionare needs to take his iced chain and melt it into a pacifier cause he's still an infant in da game.
The Only Good Album With Paul Wall.......2005-11-06
Ladies and Gentleman....... Koopa is the King..... This album I have owned for a number of years and is still my favorite Chamillionaire album ever... This is such a good album even Paul Wall was good... In case you dont already know this album unlike Controversy Sells was approved by Chamillion and Paul Wall... This is not a garbage thrown together album like Controversy Sells and if you have never heard a Chamillion album this should definetly be your first and if you have never heard a Paul Wall album then you should only buy this one cause all the others with exceptions for The Color Changin Click albums is Boo-Boo... I knew it 5 years ago I still know it today when the Sound Of Revenge drops the sky is the limit for the Color Changin Reptile... Dyke Jones Phoney

great pianist!!!!.......2007-02-16
samson was one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century his debussy was sublime and his color palete to impresionism is unsurpassed. could someone tell me if these recordings of his debussy are the stereo ones
Yesterday Francois would be celebrating his eighty-two anniversary .......2006-05-19
Samson Francois figure has evidenced slow but increasing enhancement through the years. His notable pianism, aristocratic approach and refined phrasing are some of his virtues.
If you still do not know about this legendary artist, no itý s the time for you to convince by yourself about the supreme level occupied by him.
When he left us in 1970 at his 46, he had so much to give. The musical world remained legitimately orphan and much more vile since his premature death.
But, fortunately his legacy will live among us, every time you listen any record you acquire of this peerless musician.
His Ravel is loaded not only of notable, sensual and asserive expressiveness. If you know about some other performance able to equal his Gaspard de la nuit, please, be my guest.
His Debussy is sober, eloquent with Impresionist flair and sublime musicality.
A true artistic and a fundamental treasure in your collection.

Harder-to-find hits.......2004-02-16
I really enjoyed this CD, much as I enjoy just about everything that I've heard from Rhino.
Owning tons of collection CDs, this is one of the better ones, because it is not full of those same songs that comprise most '80s compilations. Harder-to-find tunes like "Tempted," "I Got You," "Spage Age Love Song," and "Love Plus One" are on this CD but not on any of my multitude of other 80s discs.
As one would expect, the sound quality is great. The songs flow well. It's a great addition to anyone who likes 80's music. After owning it for years, I keep digging it out again and again.
The greatest collection of '80s love songs!.......2000-06-29
Finally! An awesome collection of some of the best new wave and modern rock love songs of the '80s, including tracks from Human League, Culture Club, Thompson Twins, Modern English, Kajagoogoo, and my favorite Icehouse track that I haven't been able to find anywhere else!
A Trip Down Memory Lane.......2000-06-23
I am amazed at the vast collection of the great songs of my youth. It is a true gem to have Haircut 100, General Public, Howard Jones, and Spandeau Ballet on one CD. Nearly all songs are familiar, and the sound is better than I remember. Listening to these songs remind me of the best and worst times of my adolescence. This is easily one of my favorites!

Customer Reviews:
Gedda in 60's and early 70's.......2003-08-21
Nicolai Gedda, a vocal wonder of the post-WWII Europe is in great form in live selections presented on this CD.
The French opera arias, particularly Berlioz and Gounod, required stellar high B's and C's plus ability to shift the registers seemlessly. Well, Gedda dispite his accent, was indeed perfect for this material. He will make you hold your breath every time he hits those high notes and each of these notes is crystal clear and dead-center on pitch.
For me personally, the best part of the disc is a 1971 recital of Russian art songs by Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov. Gedda sings with a lot of feeling and is not afraid to "invent" -- check out the messa voce, or rubato that he adds. "Where art thou, little star" is heart-gripping in its beauty.
Unfortunately, the recital is clearly not presented in its entirety. I just hope Gala will release the full version some time soon.
Of course, all the selections are "live". But that's not a serious problem here (unlike many other Gala CDs made almost unlistenable by caughs and other noises). Yes, there are a few distractions, but not enough to take away from pure joy of Gedda's singing.
A recording that does Gedda justice.......2003-04-05
This compilation disc from Gala presents the artistry and musicianship of Nicolai Gedda. He is a great tenor. His voice may not be the most beautiful, but it certainly is pleasant to hear. He has an excellent top register; no high note is beyond his reach. His pianissimos, not really given their due here with Gala's selections of songs and arias, are really top-rate and extremely beautiful. If you want to hear his lovely pianissimos, get the hard-to-find "Opera Arias: Nicolai Gedda". The selection of arias and songs here is wonderful. Also included is a wonderful duet from "Prince Igor" sung in Russian and several Russian songs by Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, and Rachmaninoff. I didn't care much for the Russian songs, but Gedda performed them very well with perfect Russian diction. The French arias are amazingly well done. If you have been left unmoved by his versions of Don José's Flower Song from his two studio recordings of "Carmen", you will not be disappointed with the version included here. This version is sung with great emotional involvement. It comes from the 1954 live recording of "Carmen" with Giulietta Simionato and Herbert von Karajan. Gedda has the flexibility and the high D for the "Les Huguenots" aria. His renditions of the two Gounod arias are wonderful and his high notes are superb. Énée's aria from "Les Troyens" is very well done. He even attempts a trill in it. A recently released live recording of a performance of "Les Troyens" with Gedda, Horne, and Verrett is available. Check it out. Gedda may be too light of voice for such a heavy role as Énée, but who could resist such stylish, superb singing and French diction? He also can scale all the dangerous heights and dramatic demands of the fiendishly difficult role. The sound of this compilation is surprisingly good. There is some static, but it never becomes distracting. Audience noise is minimal to nonexistent. Applause is found only on a few tracks and is always appropriate. All in all, a worthwhile purchase at a remarkably low price!
It is the voice of destiny........2002-09-01
If I say that it is nice I'll say nothing. Gedda's voice is really juicy and romantic and vocalize school is enormously mastered. When you hear to it, the first thought is that such voice cannot to be belonged to real, live person. It is for angel's not for real man.
This is some of the finest singing ever recorded.......1999-05-12
Although strangely forgotten by the opera world and overshadowed by the overwhelming publicity surrounding the three tenors (Carreras, Domingo, and Pavoroti), Gedda ought to be recognized as the greatest living tenor. His artistry, technique, musicianship, and individuality are second to none. Buy this CD and delight in some of his best work. There are presently no singers that even approach the mastery of the repetoire recorded on this album which Gedda sings perfectly and easily.His refinement and power are unexcelled. (No, the three tenors don't hold a candle to him. In fact, comparing Gedda to them is a bit like comparing a halogen bulb to a candle. Very nice candles, yes, but no match for an artist of his caliber.)
What a master singer!!!.......1999-01-20
This is a truly wonderful recording of the tenor, who I feel, is the greatest in the second half of the 20th Century. Maestro Gedda sings repetoire from the lyric Gerrard in Lakme to the dramatic Raoul in Les Hugeunots all with stylish ease and elan. Gedda had the most beautiful high notes in the business. These are all live performances and the span of time is from 1954 (Carmen, with von Karajan) to 1972 (Les Hugeunots). Finally, on CD, one gets to hear Maestro Gedda sing Lenski's Aria from Eugene Onegin, more beautiful and sumptuous than any other Tenor before or since. Also the last 9 tracks are Russian songs and this is some of the most beautiful singing heard anywhere (also done live).

2 hours of music get the coffee ready !!! ITS TIME TO party.......2002-06-22
this much punk pop on two discs you cant go wrong at ALL.this is the first live album but either the descendents or ALL in nearly a decade.two things at once ALL over again.so first on disc one you have a great live performance of ALL.i bet when they played this show they were the openeing act but a solid opening act they must of been .these guys are as tight as a rock blasting threw some 22 songs .with no energy lost threw the entire thing.ALL the classics are played(shes my ex, skin deep,educated idiot) and a couple or rare tracks(bubble gum,cant say,birtday iou)these guys must keep the coffee going to play this great.
than up next is the descendents a band that already has two live albums.but they havent had one in some 13 years prior to this one.so this performace has some of the best songs ALso .with ALL the classics they have put one there other two live discs .but the only difference is that it up to the standards of todays modern sound production.which just blastes out of your speakers.lots of coffee lots of fun.
so to put it this is the best deal of the century for the price getting some almost two hours of pop power punk from the 2 best bands aroound also to give you something to do when you are hanging around the house feeling o so bored with the cd collection in front of you.So get a big bag of coffee a lot of food and break up with your girl friend its party time..
hmmm....good...........2001-10-19
Well, these are not Awesome cds, but they are good.
The sound quality is not the best.
Anyways, the songs selection is pretty good. If you want to hear good live stuff buy this.
Also I recomend Liveage, which I think is better than this cd.
Descendents / All ROCK.......2001-10-02
Another Live Album from the All / Descendents front. Contains some songs that apear on Trailblazer and no doubt the others too.
Live albums are always a bit of a gamble, what this album does for me is capture a moment in the life of one/two of the best PROPER punk bands around....Dont buy this if you want a studio quality album, although saying that it's not as bad as some bootlegs which some people will willingly pay more for. this will live in my autochanger for some time....Nice touch that the encore isn't included in the album time on player...the timer just stops counting while people scream for more. They enjoyed it and so shall you. Readingpunk UK.
Dissapointage.......2001-09-18
Being a faithful follower of the DescendentsALL saga I was excited for this live stuff. Not too mention the songs were picked by the fans. The song choices, for the ALL cd anway is so-so. The sound quality for both is worse. It doesn't mean I will stop loving both bands but I reccomend Liveage, Hallraker and Trailblazer for the true live experience.
