A Huge Disappointment after 1999's brilliant "Hope and Adams".......2007-07-04

I was, and still am, a huge fan of Wheat's 1999 album, "Hope and Adams". Comparisons at that time to Wilco, Paul Westerberg, Whiskeytown, etc, were all warranted and, as expected, the album has stood the test of time...
Four years later, we get "Per second, Per second, Per second... Every Second". My first impression after listening to the album was a sense of bewilderment at the obvious change of musical direction, evident from the outset on "I Met A Girl". This shallow faux pop style, prevalent throughout the whole album, devoid of any lyrical value, leads me to conclude one of two things; 1. They have a new songwriter and the good one left the band; or 2. the band as a whole decided that they should 'sell out' and write a pop album that would be appropriate for daytime radio. Either way, this album is 'Annus Horribilus' and should be avoided at all costs. I can only assume that their new album, "Everyday" is every bit as bad.

Not worth it........2007-05-04

I bought this CD without knowing anything about the band, never having heard any of Wheat's singles, or even having read a review. The cover looked interesting, and, since I didn't have much money to spend, the $11 price was appealing.

In short, their name perfectly describes their music: it is bland, completely unoriginal, and each song sounds like the next. The songs are formulaic, and the lyrics are mundane. Nothing is particularly catchy, or even worth being dubbed a "guilty pleasure." It's just a boring, nothing CD. If you want catchy, indie rock, listen to the New Pornographers or even Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. They actually deliver the fun melodies and spunk that Wheat promises, without sounding like everything else on the radio.

6 out of 5 stars.......2006-12-29

"I Met a Girl" is the worst song on the cd. Any of the people who reviewed this cd and said that their radio single "I Met a Girl" is their only good song are the same people that love "sugar we're going down" (fall out boy). They are not listening to the album. They listen to the song they like and skip every other song.

I do not know a person that has listeneed to every single song and does not like this cd. I'm not lying.

This is a cd that is worth the money. If you don't like then sell it back to amazon. I think this cd is absolutely perfect.

It took a while, but now I'm hooked.......2005-11-18

It took me a few listens before I fully appreciated this album. Sure, there are a few songs that grab you from the start (These are things, Some Days, World United Already), but the others are as good or better once you acquire the taste. If you haven't given this cd a few spins you're missing out. Wheat has a great pop sound with an unpredictable edge. It sounds familiar and fresh at the same time. Highly recommended!!

Beautiful, Dream Pop.......2005-01-12

'Per Second' epitomizes what pop music should be, but so rarely is: gorgeous. Wheat's fourth album is so beautiful and dreamy it hurts. If you want a few catchy, inspiring songs, this album has it in "I Met a Girl", "Life Still Applies", and the breath-taking "These Are Things". Or, if you want to fall asleep listening to the prettiest ethereal songs, try "This Rough Magic", "Hey, So Long", or "The Beginner". What makes Wheat so fantastic is their ability to take the elements of modern pop, which have decayed into repetitive and stale radio playlists, into something which sounds like all the perfect things in your life in a song. I love this album.

Not the best performances, but still a pretty good collection.......2007-04-20

Naxos has never provided the best performances of the music of Arvo Part--the long line of ECM recordings were made under the composer's supervision and thus may be seen as definitive--but the collection ARVO PART: A PORTRAIT is a nice effort indeed. Issued in 2005, the year of the Estonian composer's 70th birthday, this package features selections from nearly his entire career over two discs, in recordings drawn from the Naxos, BIS, and Nimbus labels, and also contains a 78-page booklet with Nick Kimberley's essay "Arvo Part: A Musical Journey".

Arvo Part came to worldwide attention through the minimalistic and overtly spiritual music he began composing in the mid-1970s, but ARVO PART: A Portrait features some music from his early career as well. Part was something of an enfant terrible in the Soviet music world, and in the 1960s he infuriated the socialist realist musical establishment by producing dodecaphonic and collage works through the 1960s. From this era we get the second movement of the Symphony No. 1, the "Collage ueber B-A-C-H", and the cello concerto "Pro et Contra". One does regret, however, that his important piece "Credo", discussed at some length in Kimberley's piece, is not featured here, but perhaps Naxos could not find a recording that could be licensed for inclusion here.

The bulk of the collection, however, is dedicated to Part's "holy minimalism" output, a style which he calls "tintinnabuli" for its bell-like tones. Two selections from his hour-long masterpiece "Passio" are included here, one begin four minutes long and the other twelve. Of the "Berliner Messe" we have the Kyrie and Credo, and the other late pieces here are included full-length.

"Fur Alina", the exceedingly simple piano piece he wrote in 1976, breaking a silence of nearly a decade, is featured here in its scored form in performance by Alexei Lubimov. The ECM recording of this piece is a much longer improvisation by Alexander Malter, so this Naxos collection (or the BIS disc the selection was drawn from) is a good way to hear the piece at its most simple.

Over the last decade or so, Part has began reconciling his tintinnabuli style to the more fiery spirit of his youth. However, none of those pieces, such as "Como cieva sedienta" are represented here, which is regrettable.

While the Naxos performances of Part's music are not the best available, only the Naxos recording of "Tabula Rasa" by the Ulster Orchestra and Takuo Yuasa is outright unlistenable. The rest are acceptable, and this collection makes a more more economical introduction to Part's career than the many full-price ECM discs. And for established Part fans, the included essay by Nick Kimberley is interesting reading, especially when the only other major English-language coverage of Part, Paul Hillier's Arvo Part (Oxford Studies of Composers), is difficult to find.

A Written and Sound Portrait of One of Our Most Important Composers.......2005-07-13

"Contemporary classical music which genuinely touches people is rare, but the rapt, contemplative music of Arvo Pärt communicates readily, and without pandering to the demands of a mass audience." -- Nick Kimberley

"It is enough when a single note is beautifully played." -- Arvo Pärt

These two comments shed light on Arvo Pärt, both the music and the man. An intensely private man who came of age in repressive Stalinist Soviet Estonia but who always maintained his stalwart religious beliefs, against all fashion, and who, though he started out as an avant-gardist, became the prophet of what has been called 'the new simplicity,' Arvo Pärt is perhaps the most beloved composer of classical music in the world. His music is known by people who have almost no interest otherwise in classical music, largely because of the effect it has on even the casual listener, as reflected in Nick Kimberley's comment above. It also has devoted followers among the musical cognoscenti. His piece 'Fratres,' in its myriad forms, is his most widely performed work, but it is probably his ecstatic 'Passio' that has created the most devoted following, particularly following its first recording by the Hilliard Ensemble on the ECM label.

This release has two CDs chockfull of unfailingly beautiful performances of Pärt's music, generally in complete movements taken from releases by Naxos and other labels. Such disparate works as his spare piano piece, 'Für Alina,' movements of his Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3, the 'Berliner Messe,' the 'Magnificat,' 'Collage über B-A-C-H,' 'Spiegel im Spiegel,' and 'Triodion,' are represented here. Two versions of 'Fratres' are included, one for cello and piano, the other for percussion and strings. His cello and orchestra work, 'Pro et Contra,' is performed by Frans Helmerson and the Bamberg Symphony under Neeme Järvi. Excerpts from 'Passio' ('Passion According to the Gospel of St. John') from the recording by Antony Pitts, Pärt expert and a composer in his own right, and his choral group Tonus Peregrinus are particularly haunting. Celebrated organist Kevin Bowyer is heard playing Pärt's 'Annum per annum.'

The illuminating accompanying essay, 70 pages long, is by Nick Kimberley, a noted British arts critic. All of this is in a glossy booklet enclosed in a cardboard box, typical of Naxos's classy presentation of both recorded music and booklet notes.

This release is for all those who are already devotees of Pärt's music and for those who are just coming to admire his music. The budget price makes it all the more attractive.

Understated genius sound kids.......2001-01-16

This is not a shallow album. Paul Newman is compelling because of their ability to layer sound. In a sense, buying Frames Per Second is like buying more than one album because each song listens differently each time. It is beautifully easy to get lost in its variety of parts. Although all the tracks are solid, the best is probably "Astroglide" because of the way it just smacks you in the head with bizarre guitar sound. If you are at all a purveyor of the blistering type of instrumental rock, this is a good one for the collection. Or if you just like sound.

a step next to slint.......1999-01-08

These songs cannot be gained with only a brief glimpse. The power/complexity and beauty of these instrumentals are amazing. A few tracks are present with ambigous vocals yet the stars are found throughout the surging and ebbing of the instruments. Its been awhile since slint been gone, these guys from are their faint and newborn memories.

Heavenly choir.......2003-07-05

Absolutely gorgeous a capella quartet. Stunning and soothing music. Highly recommended.

Landini; the dawn of the Renaissance.......2003-04-27

True to thier artistry the A4 conveys Landini as a courtly master; subtle and flowing. Thier singing radiates with the freshness of May.

Landini can be likened to Duccio as Palistrina to Giotto. Duccio is not a painter of angles or the other-worldy but humans on earth. Yet they are not humanized in the Renaissance sense for they lack rotunda and gravity. Rather, they are delicate and "float" and retain something of the soaring intensity and expressive flavor of Medieval art. Yet they are very human and with Duccio as with Landini one can perceive the dawn of the Renaissance.

Like a sunset to sunrise the CD ends with the piece it began (Echo la primavera) singing it with more expansion and reflection. Not bad since the piece is so short. Perhaps the A4 wants to convey an end of a journey or "My end is my begining."

While I'm more used to this music with instruments, at least
portative organ this being Landini, Anonymous 4's is what used to be called a valid perfomance. The snatches of documentation for performance practice we have of this period certainly don't rule out an all vocal approach. I've been a musician long enough to know that given the material and the ability of the musicians they will try everything and I'm sure all vocal renditions were done if an instrument wasn't available. Landini was a part of a rather refined group and his music is very subtle. You can't perform his music as if it was a contra dance without distorting it.
While I'm disappointed, and frankly amazed, that anyone could use this a background music for reviewing a paper it isn't the fault of either the listener who can do what he likes or of the preformers who do a good job.
The performance is very good their intonation is some of the best.

Jasmine Ash started locally in Portland, OR, my hometown. Her unique sound can't be compared to anybody else. Her voice is sweet, high, but melancholy. Her lyrics are beautiful and personal. This album is soft and comforting. I hope to hear more from her.

A Superb Installment in a Great Series.......2003-06-20

If there were any doubt about the issue before, Naxos' Kraus series with Petter Sundkvist and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra should establish the singular importance of this contemporary of Mozart and Haydn. In fact, it's not too much to say that the symphonies Kraus produced in the 1780s are every bit the equals of those by the two great masters of the Classical symphony. Take the Symphony in F, VB145. Like all Kraus's symphonies, it follows the Mannheim rather than the Viennese model, lacking a minuet movement. But at over 21 minutes, it is in no way a small symphony. The first movement, with a majestic slow introduction akin to that of Mozart's Prague Symphony, is by turns dancing (it is in ¾ time) and dramatic, with one of those strange harmonic turns followed by a pause that Haydn loved to trick his public with, as if the movement had briefly lost its way harmonically. The slow movement, though relatively short, is endowed by its gracious, long-breathed melody with the easy elegance the older master achieved in his best slow movements.

Much the same praise could be accorded the Symphony in D major, which was probably intended for performance by Haydn at Esterhaz. Its finest movement is the finale, with a truly distinguished main melody that propels the movement wonderfully.

Also on this disc are the Sinfonia per la Chiesa and Riksdagsmarsch that Kraus wrote for the convening of the Swedish parliament in 1789. Both have a nobility and grandeur that mark them as more than mere occasional music. The accomplished fugal writing in the Sinfonia will probably make you think of the finale of Mozart's Jupiter Symphony or of Beethoven's Consecration of the House Overture. Not too shabby.

For me, the quality of the music, the performances, and the recording are of such high quality that I'm reminded of the sense of discovery and excitement I had on hearing the first volume in this series-that wonderful sense of excitement you have when discovering any important composer's music. I guess that's worth eight bills any day!

Kraus should be better known.......2002-11-26

This is the fourth in the Naxos series of recordings of music by Joseph Martin Kraus, sometimes referred to as the 'Swedish Mozart'. He was born the same year as Mozart and died one year after he did. But his music really more resembles that of the middle-period Haydn, the 'Sturm-und-Drang' Haydn. Make no mistake, though, he has his own voice and certainly has plenty of skill; the Sinfonia da Chiesa in D, for instance, includes a masterful fugal sonata-form movement that takes one's breath away.

The two three-movement symphonies on this recording were originally credited to other composers--one to Haydn, one to Giuseppe Gambini. Recent scholarship has proven that they are indeed the work of Kraus. In fact, the notes for this recording are by Bertil van Boer, one of the leading Kraus scholars and the editor of these symphonies.

A rather presumptive holiday title, Simply the Best Christmas Album is an unqualified best--if you like classical, choral, and symphonic music. Marquee talent such as Placido Domingo, Natalie Cole, and Jose Carreras anchor the mix, abetted by the redoubtable London Brass, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Edward Higgenbottom & The Choir of New College, Oxford, and the Bolshoi Symphony Orchestra. This two-disc, 36-piece set presents a broad spectrum of holiday pageantry that embraces familiar traditional works like The Nutcracker and more contemporary pieces from Sumi Jo and Linda Eder. From triumphant brass and angelic choirs to stirring string pieces and rich, lovely orchestral movements, Simply the Best sets an exquisitely festive mood. --Martin Keller

Joyous surprises!.......2006-06-01

Every once in awhile I run across an album that excells, not because of the shining brilliance of one artist, but because of the collective impact of several. Here, in this album, are some little-known gems from Christmas music literature. I was captivated by the lilting and primitive joy in "Jesus, the Light of the World," which I had never heard before. Then there is Chanticleer and its rendition of Charles Ives' "Christmas Carol," a classic too little known. There are others. If you look for unique renditions of familiar and unfamiliar Christmas music to enhance the joy of the season, this album is a must-buy.

Simply the Best..........2002-11-19

The minute I heard Thomas Hampson sing the first few notes of Adeste Fideles, I knew I had to have this album. It is a marvelous compilation of Classical Christmas favorites (excerpts from the Bach, Vivaldi and Corelli Christmas Concertos and The Nutcracker) and standard Christmas favorites, as well as some of the lesser heard Christmas gems.

The vocal power on this 2 CD set is amazing as well--Broadway star Linda Eder, Thomas Hampson, Kiri Te Kanawa, Jose Carreras, Chanticleer, and numerous others. I usually purchase one Christmas CD a year. This was it for me this year--make it part of your holiday collection.
