Customer Reviews:

this is the Philip Glassish version.......2006-09-13

One must realize members of the Philip Glass Emsemble are performimg here. True it has somewhat a disco feel at times. It is colorfull and upbeat. It has repetative framework that I think works well here. Because it follows closely to the original piece the Glass minimalism is incorporated within the music instead of controling it. I wished it had a bit darker and brooding soundscape and had say Fripplike guitar for example.( King Crimson- The Construction Of Light - to me that track sounds like Fripp meets Glass )Anyways, I managed to find this a few years ago on import after extensive searching. Now I see it is much more easily available. This was one of those albums I had that I was not happy till I found a cd version. Personally I love this.

A Surprising Find.......2006-07-02

I came across this album while browsing absent-mindedly through the public library selection. I had not recognized the name "Carmina Burana", but upon listening, realized that I had heard the piece many times, from many conductors, before. I am a lover of the medieval period, church music, and 80's synthesized music, amongst many other genres. I was astounded to find such a synchronically composed piece that brought together such diverse theories.

Mediocre.......2005-12-09

Very Very Very 80s sounding. While that normally isn't a bad thing for me, it just makes this album very boring and cheesey. I'm a Manzarek fan, but he still plays at his best in the Doors.

GREAT STUFF !!.......2007-02-28

This is an extended version CD. (18 Tracks)
All the hits are covered here and they all sound great! This CD does not showcase McDonald,or Baxter, but it does have the other members playing here. The members are not listed but the voice is not to be mistaken nor the distinctive guitar sound of Simmons and company. This is a great CD for the collector of the Doobie Brothers material.

The songs are remixed,this gives the old material a new , fresh feel. This is a CD for serious Doobie fans. For those expecting the original recordings this may come across as a disappointment. I feel the CD sounds fresh and definitely interesting.

If your a Doobie fan, this CD is well worth buying. Dont listen to those who trash this CD. These are people who cant accept change and dont appreciate the remixing of old songs.

Listen To The (Re-recorded) Music.......2005-12-19

Yep, this is one of those "new recordings by one or more members of the original group" releases and that disclaimer, incidentally, is nowhere to be found on this CD. Beyond the recognizable voice of Patrick Simmons, I couldn't determine what other members of the group that had a string of hit albums in the 1970s played on these recordings; there was no listing of band members, though the cover artwork shows Simmons, Tom Johnston and John McFee playing a live concert. For sure, Michael McDonald and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter did not play on these tracks.

The problem with these re-recorded songs is that they sound like a good cover/tribute band and not the real thing. And several of the tunes like "Listen to the Music," "Long Train Runnin'," and "Rockin' Down the Highway" have newer, contemporary arrangements that really don't do much justice to the originals. On the plus side, there are 18 songs on this CD with most of the band's greatest hits covered but, ultimately, this is really nothing more than a curiosity piece for fans of the band.

My rating is closer to ** & 1/2 stars.

The Inpenetrable String Tangle, Live, In Concert. Buy It........2005-06-14

`Wheel of Fortune' and `Bloomsbury 1997' with Robin Williamson paired up with John Renbourn and Mike Heron respectively are two of a very traditional genre of recording done by a seemingly `ad hoc' pairing of two very respected artists with similar styles and interests. My first encounter was the pairing of Danny Kalb and Stephan Grossman. The most famous may be the pre-Pentangle duet album of `Bert (Jansch) and John (Renbourn)'

These two pairings are probably much less `ad hoc' than most. In the case of `Wheel of Fortune', Williamson and Renbourn are both renowned practitioners of the Scottish/Celtic/Anglo-Saxon folk music tradition. They also both started their recording careers in the latter half of the 1960's, carried on by the flood of interest in the multiple waves of the British Invasion. Williamson and Heron are an even more expected pairing, as they are two of the three original founders of The Incredible String Band that recorded between 1967 and 1974.

`Wheel of Fortune' was recorded at live concerts at various venues in the United States in 1993. Williamson and Heron were recorded at a single concert in London in 1997.

My guess is that if you are fond of either The Incredible String Band or Pentangle or either of the three individual performers' works, you will probably enjoy and welcome both albums. If I had to pick one over the other, I would buy `Wheel of Fortune' because of the greater diversity of material from Williamson and Renbourn coming from two different takes on similar material. This work also contains more humor and just a bit more genuine audience interaction. Williamson's little recitation of a classic Irish story alone may be worth the price of admission.

Regarding Williamson and Heron, I was always just a little lukewarm for Heron's vocal and songwriting talents. They are just a little better than those of Ringo Starr.

Another dimension worth considering is the fact that both of these albums are a lot more interesting than many of Williamson's post ISB period. I have yet to hear one that is genuinely dreadful, but some never rise above the mediocre.

So, for all you `Impenetrable String Tangle' fans out there, I recommend both.

What a beautiful CD!! Lovely guitar and celtic harp..........2003-01-16

If you enjoy Renbourn's other English-folk arrangements, then you are depriving yourself if you don't hear this CD! Robin Willaimson is an delight.

A favorite that doesn't tire.......2001-12-03

I love this album well enough to give it as a gift to people I especially like. John Renborn just doesn't make bad albums, but for me the real treat here is Robin Williamson. He might be the most gifted storyteller I've heard. His work on this album will thrill anyone who takes delight in a story told not well but perfectly, with timing and pitch exactly right to both convey the story and complicate it with sly attitude. You won't be disappointed in this album, and you'll probably find that you still enjoy it after living with it for years.

The Bells of Sweet St.Annes.......2001-10-14

I don't think any one who has emigrated from one country to another or perhaps even moved cross-country in the US would
find fault with the "Bells of Sweet St Anne's". The CD is worth
the song alone. At least I felt that way...

Warm and Inviting.......2001-06-20

Perhaps my first reaction after listening to this collaborative effort was, "Why didn't they think of this sooner?" Given the huge parts played by Williamson and Renbourn in the British folk "revival", and, really, in the re-invention of acoustic music in general, the possibilities are fascinating. And, in general, this CD delivers. Both performers are clearly so comfortable with a live audience, and the recording really succeeds in capturing this. Perhaps the only drawback would be in the category of vocals. Neither of these guys was ever known for having a world-class voice, and neither has improved with age, but this is easily overlooked given the overall quality of the performance.
