I'll Give All My Love To You.......2007-05-26

Everyone that know me knows that I'll give All My Love To You is my song and will be played at my wedding one day.

Not As Strong As The First or His Latter Work Just Aight.......2006-12-29

As a fan I felt that Keith Sweat suffered a huge sophmore slump with his I'll Give All My Love to You disc. The fast club orienated tracks just weren't as strong this time around and there were only two slow jams;I'll Give All My Love To You and Merry Go Round that impressed me. Sweat came back hard on his thrid CD Keep It Comin but this is the one Sweat CD that I gets little roation in my CD player.

NICE SOPHMORE ALBUM!!!!!.......2004-09-20

I LIKE THIS ALBUM. IT SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY THAT THIS ALBUM HAD CAME OUT. I LIKE KEITH SWEAT'S MUSIC BUT THIS IS ANOTHER MUST HAVE ALBUM BY KEITH SWEAT I PERSONALLY LIKE KEITH HE IS A GREAT ARTIST AND DEFINITELY LAYS IT DOWN. MY FAVORITES ON HERE ARE MERRY GO ROUND, I'LL GIVE ALL MY LOVING TO YOU, JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS, AND I KNEW THAT YOU WERE CHEATING ON ME. I LIKE THIS WHOLE ALBUM IT IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY KEITH SWEAT FAN.

GREAT ALBUM.......2004-03-14

I got this tape along with Make It Last Forever for my tenth birthday. I love every song on this album (especially Your Love, Pt. 2, Knew You Were Cheating, and Make you Sweat). I also like the remixes (which are not on this tape) of Your Love, Merry Go Round, and extended Make You Sweat. Where are these remixes??

I'll Give All My Love to You- 1990.......2002-12-29

Unlike Make it Last Forever, Keith Sweat tested a new sound for this album that paid off big time for that year. What made this album stand out from any off his other work is the extended sense off emotion in this album. This isn't his best outing but it is the best in the 90s.

When he was a youth in his native China, Tan Dun spent a period as a fiddle player for a Beijing opera troupe. His intimate familiarity with the great Chinese epic opera The Peony Pavilion from the 16th century (produced during the 1999 Lincoln Center Festival) is evident in his own work of the same name, for which Peter Sellars collaborated as stage director. Bitter Love is a self-contained fusion of music and poetry that draws from Tan's larger opera score. The traditional love story of The Peony Pavilion--which bears some striking similarities to the Orpheus myth--comes through in floating, dreamlike fragments that reflect Chinese poet Tang Xianzu's lucid imagery like a smoky moon against water. As in his earlier and fascinatingly experimental opera Marco Polo, the New York-based Tan creates an eclectic collage of styles that mix East and West, old and new, as well as classical purity and pop energy, all with audacious imagination. This is, after all, a composer who has written music for water and stones, and he exhibits an almost childlike delight in the sensuous appeal of sounds here, in the overlay of traditional Chinese instruments such as pipa with synth beats, cross rhythms, and a panoply of percussion. Soprano Ying Huang gives Tan's fluttering threads of melody a silver sheen. However tempting it might be to label Tan's project as "crossover," it displays a depth and artistic integrity not usually associated with the term. --Thomas May

A Composition that Missed the Mark.......2007-06-15

'East meets West' appears to be the hallmark for this work of avante garde Chinese composer Tan Dun.
Well, I love Chinese music, been listening to large volumes of Chinese operatic recordings and performances for more than 40 years - from the southern Cantonese to the north-western Qin and Yu operas, and even more the Eastern Kun operas and Huang Mei lyrics.
What is being achieved in this album? I would hesitate to call it East meeting West.
Fine, it is original. Fine again, that Miss Huang Ying is a lyrical soprano with a good voice and sound technique.
But please do not mistook the work as having any lineage with the Chinese operatic tradition: it has virtually none of such.
The choice of singer alone reveals that there is no regard to the authentic Chinese operatic tradition: a Western lyrical soprano is UNABLE to bring out the style and sonics in Chinese traditional-styled melodies. For such performer, go for the celebrated Chinese soprano Miss Wu Bixia instead, the pioneer of fusion of Chinese and Western vocal styles.
Very much unlike the more recent work of Tan "The First Emperor", this album endeavours to present music that is off the beaten track. However, the result is that it is off track. The stuff here, I dare say, accounts for more than half of the adverse criticism of that opera, a much more valid work in all respects but for these 'grey area' elements.
Chinese operatic arias are much more than wailing and whining. Musical lines are more melodious, harmonics much clearer.
The blurred effects here are not authentic Chinese style.
I envy those who are able to enjoy this album.

I generally admire Tan Dun, but this project was a misstep.......2006-03-28

BITTER LOVE is a selection of songs from Chinese contemporary composer Tan Dun's 1998 version of the classic Chinese opera "Peony Pavilion". Soprano Ying Huang has the spotlight, with the New York Virtuoso Singers and the NChiCa-Orchestra performing and the composer himself conducting. The staging of the opera, produced by Peter Sellars, was toured around the world, but no video recording was made. These fourteen songs are all we have, but make a conveniently concise single-disc presentation.

Tan Dun's updating is drastic, maintaining the text (in English translation by Cyril Birch) but with totally new music. The traditional music of "Peony Pavilion", of which "Hang the Curtain Down" might be the most well-known, is nowhere to be heard here even in brief quotation. Instrumentation consists of pipa (a Chinese flute), percussion, several midi instruments, electronic sampler, and water gong. The rhythms, the scat singing, and the electronics make this work quite outside both the Western and Chinse traditions, and lovers of chillout projects such as Thievery Corporation may find this CD to their liking. Ying Huang's singing, however, displays the mannerisms of Beijing opera, so the work is a real fusion of styles.

Were this the only work by Dun, it might seem fresh and admirable, but it compares poorly to some of his recent works like THE MAP and the WATER PASSION. Some novel ideas, such as the mix of Chinese and Western instrumentation and the use of water for sound are present, but all in all the musical material here is very limited and repetitive. Perhaps it would be another matter entirely if I were watching a live performance where the orchestra is meant to accompany action onstage, but on its own the music isn't rich enough. Furthermore, Sony's packing of the material, with very unhelpful liner notes, makes it look as if Tan Dun's talent is being used to advance some mission of world music crossover gimmickry. I regrettably cannot recommend this like I can other works by Tan Dun, who is generally one of the most interesting living composers.

Dark depths and bright voices, a shock, a whimsy.......2004-05-24

This piece of music either creeps up on you out of nowhere - like a tarantula imitating a meteor streaking out of outerspace - or it "conveys" itself to you like a waiter extending to you a glass of dark wine - or a film that seeks to shock you with an unexpected silence and a pagan cry. You must be the judge. But if you are faint hearted - quick to flee sexuality in all of its forms - you should go nowhere near this piece. And and if you are bold and brazen and hot for simplistic outrages you should probably bury your head in the sand. This work is for mature listeners only. By "mature" I mean a listener who is willing to cast to the side - as if she or he is flinging to the wind cherry blossoms in autumn - all grotesque fundamentalisms of ANY KIND. The music begins with a luminous voice slowly moving out of darkness. The voice wanders around in the dark over a deep abyss but I do not sense that the abyss is strong enough to terrify that wondrous voice. And the full piece, as it develops, may be best called "The Complicated Tales Of Incandescent Bliss". This piece of music is hideously subversive. I say that with a tongue in my cheek and a fart in my belly. The mere "subversive" is hideously dull. For a century now we have lived with a million, billion artists who wished - desperately wishing to canonize their egos - to "subvert" things. "Bitter Love" is horribly subversive. It is horribly subversive because it does not aim to be "subversive". Its power comes from a source that is not easily described. I am not a witch, but I would like to pretend that I am a witch gazing with my dark-gold eyes into a blasphemously kitsch crystal ball. I would say, gazing into profound fires, that I see a century of struggling, sick, twisted artists striving to catch up to "Bitter Love". It is dark without that pretentious quality that defines the run-of-the-mill Goth. It is bright without protestatiing itself before the blasphemously sentimetality of movies like "The Sound of Music". It plays havoc with our senses without toadying up to the most stupid features of the avant-guard. "Bitter Love" will shock you even while it consoles you.

A Music Collage.......2003-12-01

A soprano; a tenor; a monk; a baritone chorus; an infant; unconventional Chinese orchestration mixed with bits and pieces of Peking Opera; folk tunes; lots of percussions, these are the sounds with which the story of Peony Pavilion is musically revealed. Rather than an opera, it is a musical dream or a conception. Chinese traditional culture is always a rich resource for musicians (especially Chinese musicians) to tap into, and Tan Dun is one of those who know exactly where to get his inspirations. The work is a collage of various individual and seemingly disparate elements of West and East, ritual and sensual, ancient and modern, only that Tan displays them with a sense of assimilation at times, and antithesis at others. As always, Tan's unique music perspectives, distinctively modern though they are, are fulfilled by returning to the original purity and simplicity of the basics and down-to-earth folk music elements.

Ying Huang's pure soprano displays the poetry of the music beautifully. With sensuous approach, her singing is well attuned to the music's aura of longing and exotic beauty. The fabulous baritone chorus from The New York Virtuoso Singers gives a touch of the western opera and provides an indispensable layer to the otherwise rather thin orchestration.

But the music is not for everyone, nor for everyday. Despite its depth and range, it could be a strange land for the ears not tuned to its novelties and diversities, and as for that matter, one may wonder how much of the profound emotions Tan meant to deliver has actually reached the audience at general level.

Mind Opening.......2002-04-24

If you're unfamiliar with Chinese Opera this album may be shocking. But, once you take the time to listen this is a beautiful experience. Tan Dun's blend of eastern and western musical traditions is brilliant. Ying Haung's voice is clear with tones "razor sharp."

I would recommend this to anyone. Truly, a wonderful musical experience.

This is some of rockin-est primeval gut-bucket rock and roll I've heard in a long time! I've been following the psychobilly scene for some time, and have to say that the Spectres play some of the highest octane, raucous rawk this side of the good Reverend Horton Heat himself. I first caught their show in Little Rock, Arkansas, of all places, and was immediately hooked. Jesse James belts out Hell-Bent and other rawkers with his pipes of platinum and plays some mean gee-tar riffs. Austin lays it down on bass, and JR pounds out funky-monkey beats on the skins. If you're starting a psychobilly collection, this is the album to begin with.

Where Have the Soultans Gone?.......2006-04-19

I was working in Eastern Europe when I first heard the Soultans singing "Cant Keep My Hands Off You." Imagine an old Motown sound with a driving underbeat and without any bubblegum pop brightness and you'll get the music of the Soultans. Eminently danceable, their songs inject a weird feeling of old motown nostalgia into Eurotrash dance music. These songs feel like old friends whether you've heard them before or not.

The Soultans are made of Femi Olakeji (From Africa via Germany?), Brit Scott Winter and Yank Martin Broadie. Despite the strong resemblance to Seal by not one but two members of the group, they have never collaborated with anyone famous. They hit it big in Germany (and France too, I think) but never in the US.

The Soultan's hit album Blood Sweat and Tears appeared in 1997, and swiftly disappeared, but in 2005 a solo artist hit the charts with a song that sounds very much like the Soultan's brand of dance soul. If you like the song "Femme Like U" by K. Maro, buy this CD quick before it disappears.

Should have choosen better songs.......2004-05-24

Most of these songs I've never even heard of, but it's because I'm too young. Sure I know Bob Seger's Turn The Page, but when it comes to most of the others, I'm blank. Most of this is dull 60's stuff. So what you have is dull covers of dull 60's songs. Motorbikin' is the best of all of them. If listening to covers of "My Little Red Book" "This Wheel's On Fire" and "Ballad Of A Thing Man" interest you, then you might be intersted, but I for one am not one of those people. Why couldn't they have done some covers of GOOD rock 'n roll? Why mouldy Dylan songs that nobody's heard of? This is one of their worst albums, right beside their late 70's work. It really is the pits. If you want 90's GE, you can buy Bloody Buccaneers, the live Last Blast Of The Century, Face It, Paradise In Distress, Naked Truth, or Naked II. So why would you waste your time on this stuff? Spend your money on Bloody Buccaneers (an axcellent album) instead. They should know better than to make an album of lame 60's covers.

Interesting but not their best.......2001-09-18

This whole entire Cd is remakes of songs by many famous artists that have influenced each band member over the years. It includes remakes of "When I Was Young (the animals)", "Turn The Page (bob seger)", "Sail On Sailor (beach boys)", "Move Over (janis joplin)" and the famous blues number "Who Do You Love?" which was remade by numerous musicians. This isn't their best work but it is interesting the way that they approach some of these songs. Also check out their remake of "This Wheel's On Fire" which also appears here.

A ton of sound for two people. A trip back in time from 2004 to the early years of blues. Great harp. Fine slide guitar. Scorching vocals. Real emotion. This is the Real Deal. It's also an answer to the old time male blues singers, it's femanist blues. Bessie Smith and Big Mama Thornton would be proud.

Passionate, provocative, plaintive, mesmerizing..........2002-07-05

In Jennie Orvino's "Make Love Not War," poetry and music combine into a rich, spicy musical-verbal stew, fulfilling as a good meal. Orvino is heartfelt but never sappy, sultry and sexy without being vulgar, equally passionate about war and love. Her musical collaborations are in a range of styles, each piece distinctive. Orvino performs her poetry: acts it, scats it, bats it about like the kittenish tiger she is, tickling and teasing in a juicy purr.

Orvino is fearless as she steers from rooms of sexual ecstasy to lands of devastation. Salvation lies somewhere on the road between those two realms. She mourns the horrors of war, but in erotic passion there is hope for transcendence. Each informs the other: the consciousness of such horror brings intensity to love, and love is the only possible respite when bombs are devastating your home.

Eros is Orvino's ministry, healing and redemptive. She personalizes the beseiged, becomes a warrior boy, wonders about those who were kissing for the last time before being buried in rubble. And in her poems, she loves as if each encounter might be the final collision of skin against skin.

I'm finding that "Make Love Not War" is a good thing to listen to while driving. In Los Angeles, at least, you see humanity at its lowest ebb while passing it by enclosed in your bubble. The driver who throws his lit cigarette out the window, then veers in front of another car. The sad-faced woman at the bus stop. The sullen young man with his rap bass so up it shakes the car next to him. But then you let Orvino and her musicians take you over. The toddler runs in her yellow dress in a yellow field. A war-blasted landscape regreens and reanimates. People kneel at each others‚ feet, rubbing one another, as she puts it, like "deer at a salt lick."

You smile. You might cry. At home, you'll reach for your lover. That kiss might well be your last. Make it sweet.
