5 out of 5 stars Great sound and great song!.......2007-05-19

I loved the song "A New Day" after hearing it on the radio. I tracked it down and ordered the CD. All the songs are terrific.

5 out of 5 stars Along with the Good Vibrations are my favorites.......2007-05-15

Own it! It's all worth it!
"You are the new day" is my personal favorite song.

4 out of 5 stars My dad loves it.......2007-02-13

If he likes it then I am happy. Not my cup of tea. I like the idea that there where some Beatles tunes. Dad is 57 I am 36 might be the difference in age. NOt sure. Just not my cup of tea

5 out of 5 stars Great Album!.......2006-04-22

I was very amazed when I first heard this album. Their sound is like no other. They are so unique that you can't compare them to other acapella groups.

I can say that their sound is better than a mixed choir because even though the King's Singers is only composed of 6 members. Their sound volume can beat a 30 member choir due to the quality of their voice.

My favorite is "It Was Almost Like A Song" because of the countertenor's very light voice. The baritone part was also awesome as he dominated the scene when he took the melody.

Overall, great album. This has to be one of the King's Singers best albums released. All songs are great that you can't resist missing a moment on listening it.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful singing; clever arrangements.......2002-06-14

I have been a fan of The King's Singers since their debut recording thirty years ago. New Day is one of my favourite albums. It has the terrific optimistic song "New Day," but many other wonderful tracks.

"Can't Buy Me Love" is sung as if it had been written by one of the Renaissance madrigal writers when he was in a very good mood. There are other up tempo tracks like this one, including Abba's "Money, Money, Money" and "The Rhythm of Life," but the CD also includes some romantic, lush singing in songs such as "Three Times A Lady," "The Summer Knows" and "It Was Almost Like A Song."

The clever arrangement of Barry Manilow's "Could It Be Magic?" begins with an extract from a sombre Chopin Prelude in C minor.

Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Drummers from hell!!!.......2006-12-15

I had bought this disc back when it came out. Little did I know then that this group would not leave my cd player for the next 15 or so years. The songs are great with excellent vocals but what makes this album stand out is the drummer. I have never to this day heard anyone have so much fun pounding on the drums as he obviously has on this album. he just can't slow down. So sit back, crank it up and enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Glad I got this one!.......2004-03-26

I bought this one on the recommendation of a friend. He was right on the money. This CD rocks from start to finish, except track 4, I just can't get into that one. Everything else sounds great. This sounds like AC/DC meets Guns'N Roses. It has a raw sound to it, not overproduced but more like they were just in a jam session and recorded it. Great riffs, good lyrics, and overall a great CD.

This is the way ,I think, Purcell should sound. No pomp and surcomstance but only great music.

5 out of 5 stars ALL THE MUSIC YOU EVER NEED!!.......2003-05-23

This boxed set is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. As a Purcell freak, this hits every button I have. The cast of characters include the inequitable Robert King, New College Choir, Bowman, and a host of other venerable persons. Likewise the attention to period performance of these works makes it an essential addition to the library of any serious anglophile/Musicologist etc. Now if only the Britten Realizations of all Purcell's songs could be recorded alongside the originals! You will Love this set!

    Rock & roll pioneer Ike Turner isn't a name usually associated with Sun Records, probably because he didn't actually put out any Sun singles under his own name. But Turner was the bandleader for two early '50s singles by blues bellower Billy "The Kid" Emerson (including the barreling novelty tune "The Woodchuck") and one by saxophonist Raymond Hill, and he recorded a dozen or so other sides that stayed in the archives for a while. Some of them went unreleased for a reason--as sharp as the band's rhythms are, a few of the vocalists aren't quite up to them--but singer Tommy Hodge roars like he's having a great old time, Turner's unmistakable whammy-bar attack foreshadows the way blues guitar evolved into rock guitar, and you can always hear the distant pulse of the sounds coming closer that would dominate Memphis for the next 20 years. --Douglas Wolk

    4 out of 5 stars Killer early work from R'n'B/R'n'R innovator.......2001-08-31

    Turner's fame as half of Ike & Tina, along with the infamy he gained from his ex-wife's biographical revelations, has all but erased any popular knowledge of his seminal role in the R 'n' B roots of Rock 'n' Roll. But seminal he was, from his pivotal role on 1951's "Rocket 88" (often considered the first rock 'n' roll record), to his piano backings for Little Milton and Junior Parker and his twangy, whammy-bar heavy guitar playing throughout the 50s, Turner was there, contributing ideas and stretching existing sounds into new territory.

    As a recording artist, Turner hopped around quite a bit, recording for (or having his recordings leased to) a variety of labels throughout the 50s, including RPM, Modern, Chess and Sun. His nomadic wanderings make a label-centric compilation such as this more like a snapshot than a coherent view of his pre-Ike & Tina work. Even the liner notes (from Bill Dahl) have a difficult time providing context for these tracks without alluding to coincidental tracks (on other labels) that aren't here.

    Most notably absent is the aforementioned "Rocket 88," recorded in the studio that would be renamed "Sun," and leased to Chess Records for release (and then, under the name of the vocalist, Jackie Brenston). Conversely, present on this disc are several late 50s recordings that Turner cut himself in St. Louis, and leased back to Sun for release. On balance, the absence of "Rocket 88," which is readily available elsewhere, isn't a bad trade for other, less well-anthologized tracks contained herein.

    Of the actual Sun-cut tracks, there are many stand-outs, including several that weren't released at the time of their waxing. Billy "The Kid" Emerson vocalizes on several of the disc's highlights, including his Sun debut, the tremelo-and-blues "No Teasing Around." Here he mixes R 'n' B crooning (of the sort peaking with Specialty artists like Percy Mayfield and Joe Liggins) with a bit of the rockabilly swagger that would soon flourish. His follow-up, "The Woodchuck," features a lyric that riffs on the childhood rhyme, and is powered by a generous helping of Turner's stinging guitar.

    "Way Down the Congo," features a vocal from Bonnie Turner that's oddly reminiscent of Yma Sumac (of all people), and a song structure that suggests the tempo changes found later in the Cadets' "Stranded in the Jungle." A reunion with Brenston in '53 produced the wild "Ugly Woman," on which Turner really exercises his (then) new-found guitar chops.

    After leaving Memphis and cutting sides for Federal in '56 and '57, Turner self-produced recordings in St. Louis in 1958 and sold them to Sun. New lead vocalist Tommy Hodge had great style, and the Louis Jordan-like jump-blues of "I'm Gonna Forget About You Baby (Matchbox)" is very catchy. Carlson Oliver's rocking sax solo is a real standout, and Turner's whammy bar gets a full workout on "How Long Will It Last."

    A number of complementary compilations such as Rhino's "I Like Ike," Jewel's "Ike Turner 1958-59," See For Miles' "Kings of Rhythm," Ace's "Rhythm Rockin' Blues" and Charly's "Trailblazer" each provide a piece of the pre-Ike & Tina puzzle. Varese's 20-track collection serves up seminal early sides recorded at Ground Zero (Sun Studios, Memphis) in '53 and '54 with a handful of late-50s recordings that show what Turner was up to in his St. Louis years. For those weaned on Ike's Ike & Tina years, this will revolutionize your view of his music. For those already familiar with his early work, this is plain great listening.

    Unfortunately KOTS started their career in the late 80`s and will always be compared to the l.a scene etc.But from my point of view this is genuine rock`n roll!I`m not talking ACDc,though they come from the same area,this is far better.Listening to black leather,tom boy and Serpentine there is no doubt that KOTS should be far more appericiated than they ever where.Sharp guitars,ok vocals and a fantastic pop-theft.This is the Stones of the late 80`s,early 90`s.They have influenced my childhood,and will continue that way!.."LØP OG KJØP"

        Album Description

        Battleship Potemkin is Jackson Del Rey's (Savage REpublic, 17 Pygmies) homage to director Sergei Eisenstein's classic silent film. In his writings, Eisenstein stated that he hoped a new score would be written for the Battleship Potemkin every ten years. Eisenstein felt that although the imagery of the film would remain vital and vibrant, new music would help "update" the film and thereby aid its introduction to subsequent generations of moviegoers. The Battleship Potemkin was originally screened in Moscow in October of 1925. Interestingly, in 2005, (the 80th anniversary of Potemkin) the Pet Shop Boys were commissioned to compose a new soundtrack thereby "fulfilling" Eisenstein's wishes. However, the score by the Pet Shop Boys fails to capture and/or convey any of the unique drama or historical context of the film. And quite frankly, the '80s era Pet Shop Boys' score sounds, well, dated. Eisenstein kept notes about what kind of music he wanted to see behind "Potemkin." To this end, Del Rey & The Sun Kings chose to blend classical instruments including live violins reminiscent of Samuel Barber, with nylon stringed guitars and rather cool trumpets (think Miles Davis) together with an "industrialized" background of purposefully synthetic sounding Tangerine Dream inspired keyboards and various rhythmic, mechanical samples (Morse code/echo sounder/machine press).
