The Best Band that you've never heard of!.......2007-01-09

This group is SO good! Their music has a variety of the usual influences: rock, country, and folk. Their songwriting is excellent; they have great harmonies, intelligent lyrics, good voices (all take turns with lead and harmony vocals,) and all three members make excellent contributions to the group. Basically, in their native Canada, this is a supergroup! All three of these guys have great solo careers, but still make time to record with the band, too.

I know that since this CD is an import, you can't listen to clips of this on Amazon. However, you should be able to listen to clips of their CDs "Bark" and "Kings of Love" here. ("BARK" is an excellent introduction and "Kings of Love" is another great one,) but you may just have to take my word on them.

If you like John Hiatt, Neil Young, and Willie Nelson then you will FALL IN LOVE with this album!!!!

I was frolicking, now I'm rollicking!.......2007-07-03

Were your socks blown off by their album "Let's Frolic?" Just wait 'til you hear this one!

At the end of the song "Ole Slewfoot" you clearly hear someone in the recording studio say, "You wanna play this again just 'cause it's fun to play?" This simple question summarizes the whole CD. It's full of studio sessions, outtakes, and material that wasn't used on their previous album -- I wish that other artists' albums were as consistently good as this CD of "throwaway material."

If you're already a fan of BARK, you will instantly play this over and over again because it's that catchy and good! My favorite songs here are "Down by the Henry Moore," "Ole Slewfoot," and "Don't Blame Your Blues on Me." (If you're curious about the group in general, check out my review for "Let's Frolic.")

Cooper Union, 1999 and how I discover Happy hardcore .......2005-10-15

First and foremost... happy hardcore is flat out chessy, corny, silly, cartoony and obnoxious.... and THAT'S WHY IM LOVIN' IT! (((keep makin noise makin noise makin noise noise keep noise makin noise makin noise mother %&$^&%90 laLalalalalala)))))..

Sorry im losing it here a bit... between chapter 4 and 6 it's completly marninating my brain here... all thanks to a girl that I never really talk to back In Cooper Union (saturday portfolio class)in New York City, 1999... on the last day of a year long art program.. there she stood with her bandana, tank top and baggy pants next to an old school boom box and right there...she flip out what it was recently back then CHAPTER 2. The first track it play shot me between the eye and nearly crapped myself in my pants... it was the illest and craziest sound that ever tapped into my ear drums... seriously without this girl, HISTORY would change for me!! what would I listen too in exhange from H2BH .. this is amazingly turly underground tech music.. In a city where the legions of hip hop/rap, maintstream pop and commercail radio rule the airwaves (sometimes illegally pay to play practices ) I will say again that I would never knew about this kind of sound without having heard this CD ( chapter 2 )from this girl.. so i nod my head to you and thank you who ever you are for giving this artist a happy happy joy joy feeling inside while the rest of this country is about to be fried to hell thorugh Prez Bush dyfunctional administration ....big ups to all the cheese headz out there....Happy HuLLaBaloo! and Yes, I would like to refill my Prozac prescription please.

Anabolic Frolic Rules!.......2004-01-21

I own most of the Happy 2b Hardcore Cd's, and i think that this one is one of the best. My favorite tracks are 1,2,3,4,12,13,14. 13 and 14 are the best though! If you like happy hardcore get CD's #3 and #4 too. Three is the best! I had never heard of Happy Hardcore music before I got #3 at a thrift store and I fell in love with it.

Feels so good.......2003-11-17

I own all the Happy2bHardcore cds, and I have to say that this chapter is pretty f*ckin tight, and is my second favorite overall (second to #3, which is just crazy).

The only song I'm not so crazy about is actually the first one. It starts the cd off very slow and then really takes its time getting up to speed...just doesnt work for my short attention span:)

After the opener however, it really kicks into high gear as the next 5 songs are just amazing. Songs 2-6 are not all HappyCore..."Turn Up the Music" is kinda somber and "Euphoric State" almost sounds like acid house to me. They are blended flawlessly (duh) by Frolic though, and together create a musical expirience not to be missed...I'm not kidding!

...I skip track 7..."Toy Town" just sounds too girly to me, even for Happy Hardcore.

The final 8 songs are all very good though, just not quite as strong as the first half of the cd (almost though). Standouts include tracks 8, especially 10&11, and 14...they've all been stuck in my head at one time or another.

All in all, this is a VERY tight cd. Probably not for everyone, but if you enjoy fast, upbeat music that will make you move and feel good, then buy this cd...as it will have you doing both quite easily.

Not to be conffused.......2003-09-08

This is, just as its title says "Happy Hardcore". While still not a mainstream media as others, it does have its place. But more to the point of this review, There is Happy Hardcore, Terror, Hardcore, Terror-core, and others, This is the "Light" version of the genere more commonly know as Gabber. Check out ... for more on the other genre's.

This is however, good if you want a more melow form of the "Hardcore" sub-genre. For those who want more agressive stance check out, DHT Virus VA compulation, Any "Hellraiser" or Rotterdamn Terror Corps.

...

Hardcore at it's absolute prime.......2003-05-06

Questionably one of the greatest techno mix CD's ever produced, unquestionably the greatest hardcore CD ever produced. With this chapter in the Happy 2b Hardcore series we see Frolic go with the flow as the Happier side of Hardcore (cheese) dies out and a sort of Trancecore appears. This cd is timeless in the respect that we see the tracks aren't too cheesy but at the same time aren't too progressive...I believe that tracks released around 2000 showcase what hardcore techno is all about. Here's the breakdown-

1. Kaos & Ethos - Drift on a Dream
The first release on Future Dance records starts the CD off and is a perfect opening track for any mix - starting out with slow BPM and building up to the 175 blast of hardcore. Kaos and Ethos really nail the vibe with this superb track.

2. Visa - All I Need (remix by Soaked/Kaos)
The mix into the 2nd track is the best mix I have ever heard. These tracks go together like legos. This track maintains and elevates the vibe set by the opener, one of my favorites.

3. Scott Brown - Turn up the Music
While at first this track is hard to get into since it changes the vibe a bit (going from happy to more somber trance melodies), you'll love it more and more as you realize its brilliance. One of Mr. Brown's first Trancecore releases, standing out the wave of Happycore being released on his label previous to this gem.

4. UFO - Deep Inside
Blasting right back into upbeat. This is a track you don't really love until you hear remixes that don't even reach the same level as the original. This track established UFO as a major producer of quality hardcore; he's now dropping hit after hit on Hixxy's Raverbaby.

5. Breeze ft. MC Storm - Jump a Little Higher
I have the original track by Breeze and this mix takes a good old school song and gives it the perfect new school twist, along with the rhymes of MC Storm.

6. DNA - Euphoric State
DNA is the man. I believe this is his last solo production, and what a way to go out. High quality new school happycore.

7. Hixxy & Sharkey - Toytown (vocal remix)
Toytown is an old school anthem and this remix updates the melodies and adds vocals. I'll admit I'm not a huge fan; I think toytown should remain totally old school. This is pretty much the only track on the cd I don't care much for...every silver lining has a cloud in this case.

8. Q-Tex - Roll the Track
While the cd credits Interstate this track was actually produced by Q-Tex (both are Scott Brown's bands). Pure upbeat trancecore madness. The melody will definetly get you rushing. A great track that grows on you very quickly.

9. Force & Styles - Look at me now
A rarity in hardcore - vocals by a male. The only other track I can think of was feelin' fine by Unique, which just happens to be another name for Force & Styles...while that track was IMO a bit sketchy, this track is quite solid.

10. Slam & Helix - Influence
The closest thing to trance on the cd. A great & haunting piano melody with some quick stabs accompanied by a beat reminiscent of old school / jungle.

11. UFO & STU J - Flyin High (unknown remix)
Amazing. While the cd has thus far been quite superior, it's these last few tracks, starting with this masterpiece, that really put it on a level above...well everything. This track cannot be found at all outside of this mix. Believe me I've looked, I have the original track on man from uncle records and the jelly baby mixes, none compare, so enjoy it as you can.

12. HAM & DNA - About U
Great beat, great vocals, great melody, great sample (keep makin noise...), great track.

13. Midas - Can't Stop Thinking About You (brisk remix)
A very justifying remix of a very old school track. This incredible mix still has an old school feel but just makes you rush like crazy in the new school way. Few can compare. The most rapid vibe on the CD by far.

14. Hixxy - Come Together
The climax. While Hixxy is criticized by some as being too soft for hardcore in terms of beat (the kick in his tracks is admittedly a bit soft), this track just slams. What a great synth melody and what a great vocalist. This track will get you rushing like crazy.

15. Force & Styles - Make Believe
This track is the flipside of look at me now, and in my opinion is superior. A great final track with mellow vocals and synths and a perfect outro for closing a mix. Sort of like pillow talk after getting rocked by come together.

The Best of the Series!!! Old Skool Goodness!!!.......2004-05-22

This CD is old skool Happy Hardcore bliss!!! The best tracks are "Sunshine on a Cloudy Day", "You're Mine", "Time after Time", "12 inches of Love", "Natural High", "Kick your Legs in the Air" and "Keep on Trying". You will not get bored of this CD. You will love it forever. Also, try all of Anabloic Frolic's other Happy 2b Hardcore mix CD's, as well as Original Hardcore 2: The Battle, the Bonkers Series (Hixxy, Sharkey and Scott Brown), and check amazon.co.uk for Hardcore, and Hardcore vol. 2 both mixed by Sy & Unknown (great scratching!) Hardcore 'Til I Die!!!!

The best chapter of them all.......2003-03-02

This is by far the best chapter in the Happy 2b Hardcore series (there are 7 total chapters to date). Addictive synth rhythms, drum breakz, beautifully composed vocals make it impossible to get 'bored', unlike most dance & trance CDs that repeat the same 8 measures over and over and over - You will find yourself humming the tracks days after you listen to the CD! If you are new to the Happy Hardcore scene, this should DEFINITELY be the first CD in your collection. There is never a dull moment from start to finish - DJ Anabolic Frolic is the mastermind behind the flawless mixing between tracks - you can barely tell when one song ends and the next begins!!! This was the first hardcore CD I ever bought, and to this day (4+ years later), it is STILL the best. Chapter 2 comes in 1st place, then chapter 6, then 7 - Get them all!!!!

to buy, or not to buy?.......2002-12-28

One thing about this cd is that it contains an excessive amount of female vocals and cheesy lyrics. the drum and bass lines are the same throughout the whole cd which makes it somewhat boring. the beat is more of a constant gabber with a couple tricks thrown in the mix here and there. I think this cd would be more suitable for the ladies. this cd is barely techno. Overall, it isnt to terrible of a listen.

another happy set........2002-12-22

this cd picks up from the 1st with its old skool happiness. like the 1st chapter, the cd starts out at 170 bpm, and finishes with 175 bpm. the best song on this cd is big up the bass, you just cant get enough of that happy melody. and bang! has a happy song "cloudy daze" that just makes you feel like you are outside in bright warm sunshine dancing around at a rave. the mixing is a little better, but really short and there is hardly any blend to it, just beat matching and fadings. but another great collection of tunes

always happy a second time!.......2002-04-23

i just got this cd a few weeks ago when i went to media play. i really didnt know any of the songs on here so you can say it was a "blind buy", but since i had all the rest, i wanted to complet my collection. all the songs on here are wonderfully mixed (the best mixed in the whole set) for example: during song (3) you here DNA saying "kick your legs in the air" then when you put it on song (10) you here DNA again saying "kicking ur legs in the air" thats what i mean by it being mixed wonderfully. if i love this cd so much then WHY did i only give it 4 stars?? HARDLY ANY SONGS GET TO THE 140 BPM LIMIT!!!!!!!! i mean, c'mon anabolic frolic, you could have atleast made it fast! if you are one of those ppl that have close minded friends, then they are gonna tink ur a freak for buying this. but its ur decision.

This new offering is no exception. It is a gift box full of rare early recordings of old-time artists, many of whom would be forgotten if not for this release. Thanks again, Yazoo!

Casting an ethereal mood full of faint light and deepening shadows, the members of this ironically named trio beckon folks to experience a twilight zone of their own configuration. Alluring at times ("Breathing in My Soul"), casting a pall at others, To Dream, Perchance to Sleep nevertheless offers sterling sonic theater, progressing through mysterious, foreboding atmospheres. The final track, "Heal," mitigates the prevailing sense of despair. Vocalist Kelly O'Brien's airy voice is reminiscent of Loreena McKennitt's, though rarely do her words discernibly penetrate Matthew Chinn's gauzy electronics. Fans of Brian Eno should investigate. --Terry Wood

'the NoiSe' review.......2001-04-10

Atmospheres and landscapes of ethereal bliss are what you would expect to find in your mind's eye as one listens to the extensive wanderings of the band Frolic. The singer of the group, Kelly O'Brien, has an outstanding vocal persona. Her voice can enchant, haunt and soothe all at once, seamlessly, like a veil of white that gently fades into gray then back again to white. The background scores are magically painted by programmer, Matthew Chinn and guitarist, Jon Beard (who also lends to the vocal aspect of the group). This newest album takes Frolic to a new unclaimed level of heavenly journeys into the unknown subconscious. A must for the ethereal listener.

One of the best ethereal albums I've heard in years.......2001-04-01

As one of the most recent additions to the Projekt family of drifting ethereal music, this is one of the best releases I've heard on the label since landmark albums like "Idylls" by Love Spirals Downwards in 1992. Frolic's graceful, shimmering atmospherics sound like a hallucinatory sleepwalk through the greenest depths of the ocean or the mossy banks of a waterfall in a rainy forest. It's easy to make atmospheric, etheral music if you use the right effects, but it's not easy to make it sound as original, fresh and inspired as this album. They keep it simple, too...synths, some guitars provide additional texture, and a beautiful female voice dances along the waves. Vocalist Kelly O'Brien has the perfect voice for this kind of music...light, gentle, yet slightly sombre. Several songs, like "Forever Forlorn," have male vocals with a very similar understated, gentle quality. The individual tracks are usually less like songs than like different parts of a dream...changing from dark to light, distant to intimate, sad to hopeful. One image that comes to mind when listening to the cd is of someone underwater -- not necessarily drowning, but watching sunlight come pouring through the deep green water. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Love Spirals Downwards, Soul Whirling Somewhere, With Sirens Entranced, Siddal, Cocteau Twins...fans of ambient and atmospheric music should also feel at home with this album.

Well done, with the only drawback that Joshua Rifkind is not at the piano. Sometimes the pace is too frenetic.

Delightful colletion of Scott Joplin's music.......2006-08-17

This is a wonderful collection of Scott Joplin's music. Delightful to own, to play over and over and over.

Avoid.......2004-10-30

I have to agree with "A music fan" is his review of March 2003.

The piano used is poor, and not even all that well in tune. The recorded sound quality is muffled and 'processed'-sounding.

And the playing, I am afraid, is an insult to Joplin. What a pity to produce so full a set, and to do it so badly. A travesty.

If you want a superb Joplin set, played "as wrote", on a good concert grand and played with verve and style, and well-recorded, it's got to be the new Guido Nielsen 4 CD set on the Basta label (Basta 30-91262).

For a really fine single CD recorded on a top-notch piano and with playing that brings out all the elegance in Joplin's music (which it isn't wrong to do - Joplin put it in there), try the new Naxos CD played by Alexander Peskanov (Naxos 8.559114).

The Zimmerman set, I am afraid, must be consigned to the dustbin. A pity.

One Star for Pity.......2003-05-05

My review in two statements: DON'T BUY IT. EVER.

One star for pity - and for the effort of going to the trouble of learning Scott Joplin's complete works. I know it must have been quite a task getting the sheet music for these works and it must have been quite a task learning them, but I cannot honestly say that this is a good recording. Richard Zimmerman plays these works on a piano with bad quality sound, and he plays these works with his own embellishments and in his own style. If you're going to take liberties with a written score, you'd might as well not even try to play it at all. Either play it as written, or don't play it. Why can't people understand that?

The Complete Works?? I think not.......2002-08-06

I bought the CD entitled the Complete Works of Scott Joplin but upon receiving it I found that it only contained 14 tracks from the Complete Works book. The CD at the price is certainly a good buy even with the 14 tracks but it should be more correctly labled as the "Almost" complete works - "Sort - Of" Complete works or maybe A Partial Compilation of the Complete Works but a Complete Works it is not. It appears that a more Complete Works also has the same label.. Or maybe I am missing something..
