transported.......2004-02-05

I saw the film in Bangkok this xmas. I sat close. The cinema was almost empty. As the film began the car comes towards you through the snow and Portman's haunting music comes out of the trees like a cold river and seeps into your skin. Later in the film, variations of it entice but do not intrude. Weeks later I went into Amazon and heard a clip and had to have this haunting melody. The CD is only 35 minutes so put it on repeat and be carried away on this moody, sad and luxurious melody. It is the best light classical music I have heard for years. Sublime, truly.

Ms. Portman at Her Best.......2003-12-13

Rachel Portman has always been one of my favorite composers. Her scores to "Sense & Sensibility" and "Chocolat" were perfect for the films. The music for "The Human Stain" is no exception- Lyrical, poetic, tragic, beautiful. Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

Cornerstone sounds great!.......2004-04-27

I've bought this CD some while ago, and let's say that I was kinda impressed by this talented band! I'm a big Power Metal fan, but sometimes I can listen to some AOR, Death Metal or Doom Metal if it's good, well Cornerstone is a good example!

The opener "Unchosen One", cracks up on a mid tempo, and once you heard Doogie's voice (Ex - Rainbow), you never wanna take this out of your CD player.

"Wounded Land", another well arranged song! Doogie's voice is still perfect on this one, maybe a bit less melodic but still great.

"Some People Fly", a bit faster on this one, but as always, everything's great! The chorus is pretty good on this one too!

"Singing Alone", this was the first song I heard on this album. One of the best ballads I've heard in a while! Gotta love this one!

"Future Rising", a mid tempo, with excellent choruses, everything seems to be at its place, no major flaws here too. One of the best on this CD.

"House of Nevermore", here's another slower song, very well arranged, smooth guitars, excellent voice, as always!

"Midnight in Tokyo", a bit faster, this one still managed to turn me on. I really like the way Doogie sings.

"Sail on Stormy Water", another slow song, great choruses as always, nothing bad to say about this one! Well done!

"Resurrection Sympathy", this is another slower song, great song if you wanna go on a date if you ask me.

Finally, we get "Forever Young", a mid tempo song, nice guitars here too, nice vocals, well everything's great!

Well this album sure is awesome, if you don't feel like listening to fast music, well this might just do the trick. It's very easy to relax on music like this! Good buy if you're into Melodic Hard Rock.

Enchanting.......2002-12-14

Just when dinosaurs like me start to thinking that the music of our youth wass dead it turns out that it was only in a coma - thank God! This is the BEST CD I have bought in quite some time. This CD has style, flare, character, emotion, and substance. Much unlike modern rock of today in which most bands, in my humble opinion, share the same bland sound and style... or lack there of.While this CD shows heavy influences of Rainbow (obviously, Dougie White is a previous Rainbow vocalist), Deep Purple, and even some Dio-esque lyrics, Cornerstone is a band with their own dynamic style.If you liked the Rainbow CD "Stranger In Us All" then you'll love "Human Stain." Actually, this may be the best CD I've purchased since "Stranger In Us All" in 1996!The CD "Human Stain" reminds me the most of, though, is Deep Purple's 1992 release "Slaves and Masters" which featured another X-Rainbow vocalist - Joe Lyn Turner. Dougie is even sounding a bit like JLT on my favorite track on this CD, #8, "Sail On Stormy Waters." An instant classic. My prayers will be answered if this CD marks a possible return in popularity of the music of my youth. It's been a long time coming, but if you're a fan Rainbow, Deep Purple, and of that Ritchie Blackmore / John Lord / and early Ronnie James Dio influenced sound and style this CD will be worth the wait.Buy it!...

Best Release Of 2002.......2002-11-04

This album was a real surprise for me. I had never heard of Cornerstone until recently when a mate gave his "Human Stain" CD to me to check out.
First listen...yeah it's ok. Second listen...hmmm, pretty good actualy. Third listen...ok! I gotta get it for myself!
Now I think this is one of the best releases of 2002 (if not THE best!).
What a great voice this Doogie guy has. He almost got the job in Iron Maiden instead of Blaze Bayley and I can see why he impressed the Maiden boys. On this album he shows he can belt out rockers as well as delicately deliver the balads with emotion, and he can hold a note too.
The influences on Cornerstone's music are plain to hear, with some tracks reminding me of Whitesnake, others Deep Purple, and there's a hint of classic Black Sabbath now and then too.
This impressive band deliver a mix of rockers and slower numbers with guitars, keyboards, drums and bass which can all be heared with an idependent clarity, but they gel together resulting in a great old style rock/metal album with a modern sound and feel to it. The music just sounds terrific, hard but melodic.
It's difficult to pick out high-lights as the whole album is one big high-light! I keep playing this CD and have not tired of it at all, and in fact each time it just gets better. "Unchosen One", "Wounded Land" and "Some People Fly" get the album off to a rocking start. But when I'm not playing it I can't help getting around singing to myself track number 4 (appropriately titled) "Singing Alone", or the great chorus of "Future Rising" which is so catchy it is hard to get out of your head (so I suppose I do like these two tracks just a little more).
"House Of Nevermore" is another great slower number, and although "Midnight In Tokyo" has the slightly cheesy sounding lyrics "shout it out" repeated throughout the song, to me it is still a great rocker (and has another chorus that is hard to get out of your head!) "Sail On Stormy Waters" and "Resurrection Sympathy" are good slower paced tracks, well placed towards the albums end.
I am not a great fan of vocal distortion tricks so I don't like it on "Resurrection Sympathy" either but thankfully Doogie doesn't do much of it and it doesn't ruin what is otherwise a great song.
I think "Forever Young" is the weakest track on the album, and unfortunately it's the last. I like the guitar in it which reminds me a bit of Led Zepplin, but I just don't think this song is as good as the others, which is a shame because I like an album to end on a high note. Another 2 tracks would have been good as it does seem a bit short compared to other recent releases.
Still, it's better to leave them off if they're not up to the standard of the others and anyway I'm nit-picking here at what is an excellent album which I don't think has got the attention and recognition that it deserves.
I am sure Cornerstone will impress fans of '70's & '80s metal who (like me) having been longing for new bands to come along and deliver that style of music but with a modern sound. That's what "Human Stain" is - a great mix of the new and old.
I hope they maintain the same sound and feel on their next album which I eagerly await.

Great, classical melodic hard rock album.......2002-05-04

"They really don`t make them like they used to...."
Well they actually do! This is the debut album from Cornerstone. Very great voice, classic hard rock style with progressive and symphonic parts. Very melodic.
i think it is one of the best debuts 2000. Very good songs - all of them!
Doogie White (x-Rainbow):vocals, and Steen Mogensen (Royal Hunt):bass, keyboards and percussion, and all songs and lyrics too. Produced by Steen Mogensen.

Excellent rock.......2002-04-30

Cornerstone was formed when Steen Morgsten (spelling?), bass player in Royal Hunt, decided to write his own material, and needed a band to perform it. So he got together with Doogie White (ex-Rainbow, Deep Purple), and the result was "Arrival", a mellow album with influences including Magnum, Dare, and the above-mentioned.

Human Stain is the second album, this time co-written with Mr White, and its fantastic!

The influences are the same, but the sound is better, the band are tighter, there is a rockier edge to the proceedings, and best of all, the songs are outstanding; plus they've penned songs of multiple styles from ballads to moody mid-tempo to out-and-out rockers, all executed with aplomb. Doogie's vocals are superb (Dio-ish, but cleaner), the guitarist(s) are on top form, the drummer can PLAY!, and any self-respecting fan of Purple/Rainbow/Whitesnake/Magnum/similar needs to own this asap.
