Editorial Reviews
The music, [drawing] from gothic and classical sources [and] Deep Purple and Vanilla Fudge, supports the dark thematic material well.
Product Description
GOIN' OVER shows a heavier side of Sleepy Hollow than their debut EP, more focused on thick organ sounds and drop-tuned guitars. Still, the band continues to be rooted in classic hard rock, metal, and prog more than the modern sound - although they make good use on this album of nu-metal, modern power metal (a la Iced Earth), and even a touch of death metal vocals. Their style of progressive hard rock owes more to the meaty sophistication of bands like Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, and Iron Maiden than the extravagant virtuosity of the modern progressive metal scene.
The first half of the album is dedicated to the 20-minute title piece, portraying a young man's descent through increasingly dangerous drugs with different styles of music reflecting the various drugs. (The segments are tracked separately, and stand alone as individual, shorter songs.) Beginning with a Renaissance-inflected acoustic section, with 3 flutes entering at different times, the song then goes into a nice classic metal section. This is followed by a strong funky groove propelled by Frank's wonderful drumming (a strong point of the album throughout) and Joe's organ bass, underneath a funky wah guitar riff and some filthy vocals that take no time for breath. A heavy speed metal segment leads to an excellent foray into nu-metal (with a nod to King Crimson in the bridge). This gives way to a very heavy metal section, which then transforms (retaining the same chord changes) into a mellow section with clean guitar and harmony vocals that brings to mind Pink Floyd. A soaring guitar solo leads to a march, and the opening theme is recapped on harp to end the piece. The overall effect should please both those seeking ambitious music and those who wish to rock out without making an effort.
The remaining half of the album is made up of 5 songs of more traditional length. "Pay the Price" is an aggressive, driving hard rocker. "Under the Ground" is a heavy dirge about being buried alive that still manages to groove. The combination of one of the heaviest organ sound in rock with ethereal keyboard "ahs" and death metal vocals in the chorus make this track a perfect synthesis of influences from the whole history of metal. "90's Child", on the other hand, isn't metal at all, but a catchy pop rock ode to Generation Whine that reminds one of Jethro Tull's "Teacher". "Mare Crastinum" starts out quiet, with a vocal reminiscent of Geoff Tate and some excellent poetic lyrics, then builds up into a powerful heavy metal tsunami. The classically-influenced instrumental section, with all four musicians swirling around each other, shows how great a skilled band can sound when everyone's working together rather than trying to steal the show individually. The album closes on a lighter note with "Rock Hard", a radio friendly classic rock anthem with all four singers trading vocals.
Goin' Over [Explicit Lyrics]
Goin' Over,Sleepy Hollow,Big Nose Records,Hard rock with prominent heavy organ. Should appeal to prog fans due to it's eclecticism (classic and modern metal, Renaissance music, funk, 70's prog, etc.) and the 20-minute title piece, depicting a young man's descent into drug abuse.,Rock/Pop

A Chorus Line may be better known, but Dreamgirls was a towering achievement for director Michael Bennett. Loosely based on the Supremes' story, the 1982 musical told a typical show-biz tale of fame, backbiting, and survival. As is often the case for one-night only events, the cast in this concert version (recorded in New York on September 24, 2001) is led by an eye-popping assortment of Broadway powerhouses: Lillias White (The Life), Audra McDonald (Ragtime, Marie Christine), and Heather Headley (Ragtime). McDonald reveals a previously undisclosed comic streak, while Headley confirms her status as a rising star. Reprising the role of Effie Melody White (created by Jennifer Holliday), White belts the classic "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." But the beauty of Dreamgirls is that it's so packed with catchy, Motown-influenced R&B numbers that each lead can sink her teeth into some prime material and get a turn in the spotlight. This double-CD set really makes you wish you'd been there when the show was recorded: you can hear the crowd going berserk at times, and the temptation is strong to do the same thing in the comfort of your living room. --Elisabeth VincentelliCustomer Reviews:

Not the real "DREAM" experience.......2007-04-04
Forget about the film sountrack. Get this CD set. And it's far better than the original cast recording which goes lacking. More songs and more everything that makes a live performance just what it is. Live (compared to film where anything can be done to enhance a performance!) -- the energy, the excitement and the performances make this a rare treat for anyone wanting to share in the real DREAM experience.
Isn't a full Broadway revival long over due. But wait: I've heard rumors that a rvial may be "in the works. I certainly hope so. Maybe this time it will receive the Tony award it deserved in the first place.
Absolutely brilliant!.......2007-01-28
