5 out of 5 stars Great from start to finish .......2006-07-18

Occasionally a band comes along that is different from every band, and people fall in love with right away, and Nonpoint is one of those bands. With fast agressive vocals, backed by fast drums, and heavy bass and guitar riffs, nonpoint brings a new taste to metal that is both new, and refreshing. I assure you that if you like metal, you will like this band.

5 out of 5 stars Proof not all nu-metal has to suck.......2006-05-16

In 2000, two Rage Against the Machine influenced nu-metal/rapcore bands formed: California's Papa Roach and Florida's. Both of these bands were well above the rest of the nu-metal pack, but only Papa Roach broke through to the mainstream (with the hit single "Last Resort"). It may be because they were overshadowed by bands like Papa Roach, or it may be because nu-metal would die off in a couple years, but Nonpoint have always been a very underrated and overlooked band (they've never quite gotten the credit they deserve). They have most of the qualities of a typical nu-metal band; but (thanks to frontman Elias Soriano's energetic, Zach de la Rocha-esque vocals and the guitarist's fiery riffs) Nonpoint's music captures an excitement that most bands lacked. Plus, on some songs (like "Levels"), Elias proves that he can actually sing. After the crunchy and intense album opener, "Mindtrip," Nonpoint's debut album, "Statement," continues with "Victim," which has some great, very catchy, headbanging riffs. The next two tracks have fiery, throbbing guitars. "What A Day" is the album's single, so it's a high point of the album, as is the memorable seventh track, "DoubleStakked," which features an irresistible sing-to-scream chorus. The last three highlights are "Orgullo" (which is sung entirely in Elias' native tongue, Spanish), the very heavy and explosive thrasher "Hive," and the album closing twelfth track ("Tribute," which is a full-fledged hip-hop song with wah-wah sound effects and a cameo by rapper Method Man). So, "Statement" is a very promising, good, and underrated debut which showed the world that not all nu-metal/rapcore has to be generic, hookless, uninspired, misogynist tripe. Nonpoint are a great young group which is more than worthy of being checked out by fans of bands like Rage Against The Machine, Deftones, and 311.

I first heard this album about 3 years ago. A friend of mine gave my a copy. Ever since, I've been in love. If you think this CD is good...get Developement, it's even better.

5 out of 5 stars Sorta like Slipknot with more talent and a better vocalist!!.......2005-02-27

Rapcore metal is not my style of music, unless it's Nonpoint! There is so much raw emotion and talent throughout the whole of the album that u can't help but love it. I'm sorry to any Slipknot fans reading this but I just don't get why people love them so. They are good but not as great as some may lead u to believe. It's offical though, Nonpoint has now made Rapcore not only listniable, but cool.

5 out of 5 stars a straight through play-outstanding.......2005-02-12

heard the "mindtrip" demo back in 2k and realized the cd was coming out in oct 2000 so i jumped on it."statement" is easily one of my favorite "nu metal" cds, even as i roll my eyes at the cliche genre name."mindtrip" is,i think, a weak song on the whole."victim" explodes back with a nice two word chant."endure" has a catchy chorus and "back up" is a straightforward and scathing track."what a day" has been heard once and again, and still remains a fun listen to this day."misled" is a good song to show off elias' vocal ability."doublestakked" may take a listen or two, very long think its two songs ocmbined into one (hence the name)."orgullo"-crazy.never did hear a spanish song like that and i like every second."years" is another catchy song sounding like "endure"."hive" has a more punk vibe and refers to the "funky feeling" of "DS".the last two,"levels" and "tribute"-a remkae of some rap songs like "wooha" by busta rhymes i feel are quite bland, but the ten songs making up the former part of "statement" show the true ability of these four guys based out of miami, and that nu metal has some shining stars amidst the fray.

4 out of 5 stars Approachable and pleasant.......2005-04-11

The music on this album foreshadows Tony Banks' followup efforts Still and Strictly Inc., and while the instrumental work here doesn't stand out as much as compared to the wonderful "A Curious Feeling," the music is solid, and the vocals are excellent. Alistair Gordon and Jayney Klimek do Banks' material justice, providing most of the album's high points. Standouts for me include Gordon's aching voicing of "I'll Be Waiting" and Klimek's haughty and sinister "Queen of Darkness." Tony wisely limits his vocal input to a single song ("Big Man") where his voice suits the song's atmosphere.

"A Curious Feeling" is still Tony's best solo effort to date, but "BankStatement" is a very pleasant listen, and tops much of what showed up under the Genesis banner 1983 on.

4 out of 5 stars A very good album of Tony Banks.......2003-10-11

Bankstatement is just one of the more solid albums of Tony Banks. In fact it has a really good songs and someother not so good. The vocals of Jayney Klimek and Alistair Gordon are good. Throwback, I'll be waiting, That Night, The more I hide it and Thursday the thwelve are the better songs for me. I'll be waiting is just a really good comercial soft wich was listened on the radio. Throwback is a moved song in the direction of Shortcut to somewhere (Gordon has not the powerfull of Fish) and has great moments. That Night is just a little piece of gold, sang by Gordon and Klimek together, and a great melody composition. Finally, Thursday..., shows the true Banks with one of his best instrumentals which will overtake yourself. The rest it`s ok.

Album Details

Genesis keyboardists Tony Banks 1989 outside solo project.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Tony Banks Makes A Statement .......2007-03-24

"Bankstatement" is the 1989 solo project by Genesis keyboardist Tony Banks, featuring lead vocals by Alistair Gordon and former Other Ones singer Jayney Klimek (though Tony himself takes the mike for one song, "Big Man"). Poppy, polished & radio-friendly, "Bankstatement" is the most fun and breeziest-sounding album Tony has ever made. That it didn't find an audience upon it's original release is a shame, 'cause almost all of the tracks here could've easily been big hits for Tony. Still, it's a great disc, with such catchy tunes as the brassy blast of "Throwback," the ominous "Queen Of Darkness," the beautiful duet between Gordon & Klimek on "That Night," the playful "Big Man," the powerful ballad "The More I Hide It," and the excellent instrumental, "Thursday The Twelfth." Tony's keyboard flourishes & songwriting is wonderful (and a very good vocal on "Big Man," too!), and Gordon & Klimek's fine voices fit Banks' material like a glove. For diehard fans of Tony Banks, "Bankstatement" is a treasure.

2 out of 5 stars Uninspired attempt to match bandmates' solo fame.......2002-05-02

This was one more unsuccessful attempt by Tony Banks to match the solo success that Genesis bandmates Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford were achieving. This time around, Banks added a couple of singers and tried to call it a band. One of the singers is Jayney Klimek, formerly of the Other Ones (not the Grateful Dead Other Ones, the OTHER Other Ones, the ones who did "We Are What We Are" and "Holiday"). The songs are drab middle-of-the-road efforts. Even the best songs, such as "Big Man", would be outtakes on any Genesis album.

4 out of 5 stars A Solid Effort In the Banks Collection.......2002-04-10

Rule of Marketing No. 23a: If you are not a brand name in the first place, why confuse the issue by further anonymizing your work (note that if one searches on the Amazon listing for Tony Banks it does not pull up this album, which has much to recommend it - just as Strictly Inc. does). Contrast this with Peter Gabriel's approach, which for the first three albums were named "Peter Gabriel" alone and had his face (or a semblance of it) on the covers. For further great moments in album marketing, see the movie "This Is Spinal Tap", and how it's "Smell the Glove" cover artwork was pulled back and the group ended up with "The Black Album."
But I digress. Regarding Bankstatement, the record company apparently was concerned about whether Banks' material was going to be commercial enough, so it asked TB to get a coproducer. From the list given him he chose Steve Hillage of the 70s' group "Gong", not exactly the most commercial of ventures either. Yet he and Tony seemed to work together well, and there is a certain "sheen" to the production. As in his last "formal" solo album 8 years earlier ("The Fugitive") Banks wrote mostly 4 minute pop songs, but as opposed to "The Fugitive", where he sang everything himself, he astutely decided to bring in a male and a female singer. I would characterize it as Tony's most "romantic" album, one with several love songs in lush settings ("I'll Be Waiting", "That Night") that you can listen to with a loved one without worrying about "The Return of the Giant Hogweed." Well, not so fast - two songs harken back to "old" Genesis. One is "Big Man", sung in an ominous tone by Banks, and the other is a fan favorite, the instrumental "Thursday the Twelfth." Here, Tony uses sampling techniques to craft a rather ghoulish soundscape. All in all, a solid effort, and a good place to start for those uninitiated with the work of this great, underappreciated pop/rock keyboardist.

5 out of 5 stars Duplicate listing.......2000-12-25

Pretty much the same as the other listing. Unnecesary unless esach is an import from two respective different markets.

4 out of 5 stars A nicely crafted effort.......2000-10-24

As I stated in a prior review, I bought "Bankstatement" when it initially came out on cassette in 1989. I recently purchased it on CD, and, unlike the cassette, it contains a bonus track, titled "Diamonds Aren't So Hard", which features a superbly-blended combination of Alto Saxophone and Tony Banks' haunting keyboard melodies. Nearly all of the tracks on "Bankstatement" are good, except "Queen Of Darkness" and "A House Needs A Roof", both of which sound too much like an aerobics class, although "QOD" has a nice guitar/keyboard intro. Jayney Klimek's ultra-sexy, powerful vocals give these two otherwise drab tracks much needed life, while Alistair Gordon's vocals on the other tracks (Throwback, I'll Be Waiting, Raincloud, The Border, The More I Hide It and Diamonds Aren't So Hard) have a somewhat limited range, and are just average. "That Night" is a lovely, sentimental ballad that features both Gordon and Klimek sharing lead vocals. Tony Banks' vocals on "Big Man" suits that song's lyrics and music perfectly. It's just too bad that this is Tony's only vocal appearance on "Bankstatement". TB's whirlwind keyboard style is rather effective on the lone instrumental track "Thursday The Twelfth". It is Mr. Banks' chilling keyboard work on this CD that makes "Bankstatement" worth having in any Tony Banks or Genesis fan's CD library. Too bad Atlantic Records in the U.S. took this one out of print, but it is still worth paying more for the import. Better buy "Bankstatement" before Virgin decides to take it out of print.

Product Description

ROIR is proud to re-introduce one of the landmark albums of the last decaderemixed & remastered, w/ two bonus tracks (Junglist & Jacobs Ladder) plus a new version of Revolution. Inna City Pressure was originally released by Dr. Israel in late 1998, at a time when the scene he was associated with (NYCs illbient collective which included DJ Spooky, WE, Sub Dub, Spectre, Techno Animal, Badawi) was garnering major press attention. Of all the albums to emerge from that scene, this undoubtedly was and is the most important and, I would dare say, the best. Docs music is a fusion of world musics in the best possible sense. Dub/reggae, jungle/drum n bass, hip-hop, rock, punk & metal are all part of a completely organic whole, achieved with urgency, acumen, charisma and purpose. In fact, the album is so strong it should return some import to the terms World Music and Fusiontwo terms whose meanings have been diluted, hyped and bastardized to the point of inconsequence. Docs ability to represent and reprocess his influences (Black Uhuru, Black Sabbath, Bad Brains, Run DMC, Roni Size) into compelling new forms is astounding. And what ties these styles of music together so organically? The answer is simple: Doc understands that what he loves about all music is BIG BASS and BIG DRUMS. He also understands how to implement that knowledge. Its why Black Sabbath can be reimagined as a pot-smoking rasta chanting over drum n bass beats. And why Doc is such a special musical mind. The rerelease of Inna City Pressure will be followed by a new Dr. Israel album entitled Dr. Israel presents Dreadtone International: Patterns of War, out October 18th, 2005. Patterns is his first album in over 3 years and marks the continuation of a great & lengthy relationship with ROIR (those are Docs dreadlocks on the cover of ROIRs first ever CD releaseDub Revolution: UK Roots). This new album by Doc and the young Brooklyn collective Dreadtone International is a new-school-meets-old-school marriage of roots, dub, trip-hop, rock, and R&B. Teaming up with vocalists Lady K and Chemda, along with an assortment of Brooklyns finest dub players, the good Dr. has created possibly his most accessible effort to datean entirely new dub sound. Think Massive Attack vs. Fugees. Heavy heavy bass lines, thundering beats, beautiful melodies, pristinely produced vocals, and conscious lyrics paint an over-all soundscape which is as powerful as it is unique.

      What anointed vocalists & muscians/producers! The lyrics are inspired by God -- relevant, real, encouraging and empowering. The music... WOW! The music envelops those anointed lyrics in some of the most intricate, creative, and diverse soundscapes in gospel, bar none. There are elements of hip-hop, jazz, blues, country, funk, and so on; this group flows well through the diverse styles. The singing... WHEW! Can you say FIRE?! They have a soulful sound characterized by tight harmonies and unique vocal inflection. Simply put, they throw down, infusing whatever they sing with incredible passion and intensity.

      Bishop L. Spenser Smith and Testament have managed to carve out their niche in modern gospel, while also helping to revolutionize its sound. This is gospel at its finest! Don't sleep on these anointed vessels of God... They are certainly continuing the Assignment. (Pick up "Assignment No. 1" too.) I've been truly blessed and inspired by the ministry of this group... I don't doubt that you will be too.

      Ives: Sonata no 1/ Copland: Sonata
      James Nally-Piano (Eroica)

      James Nally has conceived this great Modern American Sonata album, and it resounds with aplomb, idyllic youth and passion. The Copland and Ives Sonatas compliment one another like bookends, laying out a sonic wilderness that serves to remind us of our rich contribution to the cannon of contemporary music. The diversity found in the collage-like composition of Ive's Sonata is fragmented and trance inducing. Due in large part to Lou Harrison's considerable editing, Ives found his voice; a voice that pre-dated today's ideas of sampling. Ives extrapolated folk music, classical forms and gospel music to create a distinct voice that crossed boundaries. In this piano Sonata in particular we find Ives, borrowing from ragtime, hymns such as "What a friend we have in Jesus" and "Bringing in the Sheaves" and Liszt. While Copland's Sonata seems to be in juxtaposition to the Ives piece, it's simple to find the shared vision of the folk idiom and tribute to Americana. Mr. Nalley intelligently and vividly portrays these masterful pieces by setting the tone for each movement with precision and rapture. His playing is a concise explosion of mind, body and sound that is at times reminiscent of Pierre Laurent Aimard. This is a truly magnificent set of performances.

      Copland: Piano Sonata
      Ives: Piano Sonata I
      James Nalley-Eroica 3097-65 minutes

      The first impression of this release is the strong lyrical sense pianist Nalley brings to these thorny American works: the first sonata of Charles Ives with its atypical format of seven movements (two of which are grouped together), and Aaron Copland's only piano sonata with its three movements.
      Ives worked on this sonata on and off from about 1902 to 1929. Because of Nalley's sympathetic ear for Ives the experimenter, his sound is full of beauty, even in what may first strike the ear as startling dissonances. His lyrical and harmonic senses guide the ear through a thicket of otherwise confusing harmonies and textures. And the result is a revelation.
      While there are many passages full of clusters and unpredictable and irregular rhythms, expression and sound are enough to know what is going on, whether expansive and rhapsodic or foot-stomping dances. There are pockets of tonality, phrasing, and rhythmic gestures that keep the listener oriented. So for listeners who had just a few experiences with the more disorienting modern music of the last 50 years, or for those who skipped it but still went to movies in the meantime, this music will not seem so unmoored and forbidding as it was when first composed.
      Ives makes considerable musical and technical demands on the pianist. One can tell he had a good sense of the piano and what tends to work on the instrument, what is idiomatic and natural to the hands in this setting. Like Brahms, Ives was probably a big man whose physique seemed to influence the technical demands he made to convey his musical ideas.
      At first, there is a listener's satisfaction in recognizing and being able to name familiar melodies. But Ives's intention was to use familiar quotations, (such as 'Bringing in the Sheaves') that resonate with the American experience. Often this took the form of hymns from the Protestant tradition. The closer the listener's experience with this tradition, the deeper the resonance of the musical quotation.
      Copland's voice is unmistakable. Dating from 1939, his Piano Sonata, where I is so reminiscent of his Variations of 1930, is impressive with its many clangorous and granitic sounds--so many gestures made up of wide intervals and leaps. The playful and charming II resembles the helter-skelter scherzo of Samuel Barber's sonata. It uses the interval of a major 6th both melodically and harmonically as the main building block. III's tone is majestic and reverential. Nalley tunes in to the introverted expression, creating a timeless, other-worldly quality. The clangorous clusters resemble pealing bells, with their loud overtones. And as the movement fades out, the "bells" resonate as if at a distance. Remarkably played. This recording is a real treasure! BARELA

      Album Description

      The release of Building One Fire, the second album by the Cherokee National Youth Choir, comes on the heels of a very exciting time for the group. In September of 2002, the accolades for their work hit an all-time high, when their first album, Voices of The Creator's Children featuring Rita Coolidge, took the top award for "Best Gospel/Christian Recording" at The 5th Annual Native American Music Awards, ("NAMMY's") in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Based on the early response to Building One Fire, the Cherokee National Youth Choir has made another great musical statement that will promote Cherokee language and culture, and further their role as "Ambassadors" for the Cherokee Nation.

      Building One Fire represents not only the artistic and musical growth of the Cherokee National Youth Choir, but it also is a "coming-of-age" project for the group, as they replace the word "Children" in their name with "Youth," reflecting the fact that the choir members are now becoming young adults, reaching out to a worldwide audience. As with their first record, the choir works with a featured entertainer on Building One Fire, showcasing the talents of Gil Silverbird, a noted musical performer, composer, actor, entertainer, and musical director of Navajo, Apache and Cherokee descent. Silverbird has toured nationally and internationally with the Native American Dance Theatre and John Tesh's "One World Tour." His resume includes voice-over credits for commercials for MTV, TV Guide, McDonalds, and audio books for author, Tony Hillerman. As an actor, Silverbird has also been featured in many television, film and off-Broadway productions, including The Sopranos, The Royal Tannen! baums and The King and the Indian. Silverbird currently resides in New York City where he is acting and working on his music.

      The production for Building One Fire began in the Spring of 2002, at Cimarron Sound Lab studio, in Tahlequah, and was brought into sharper focus when the choir made a goodwill trip in May, to New York City and Washington DC to commemorate the lives of those that were changed forever with the events of 9-11, and to offer their songs of peace and comfort to the Nation's Capitol. While in New York, the choir met Silverbird, and he served as a charming, unofficial "tour guide," for the "Big Apple." It soon became apparent to the members of the Youth Choir that this was the person who they wanted to help them chart the course for the sound of their new CD. Discussions between Silverbird, Music Director, Janice Ballou, Artistic Director, Jamie McGee-Geneva, and Project Producer, Jeffrey Gray Parker began to take shape about a collaboration between Silverbird and the Youth Choir. Silverbird agreed to come to Tahlequah later, to complete the CD. In New York, the choir said prayers at "Ground Zero," performed at several firehouses, and recorded a live performance of "America" for the project at The Smithsonian Institution National Museum of the American Indian. As the tour continued on to Washington, DC, the choir sang "The Star Spangled Banner," at the Department of the Interior, and that performance, which is a wonderous blending of English and Cherokee, perfectly captured the essence of the trip, and gave deeper meaning for the title of the CD, Building One Fire.

      Building One Fire opens with a narrative by Silverbird of a speech written by Chadwick "Corntassel" Smith, Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, and segues into beautiful gospel songs, some delivered acapella in Cherokee and English, and others with instrumental backing from Silverbird on keyboards, Parker on guitars and mandolin, and bassist, Don Morris. Midway through the CD, the group delivers a unique Cherokee rendition of the universal favorite, "I'll Fly Away." The live recordings are prefaced by a spoken word introduction by McGee-Geneva, and the CD concludes with a poignant reading by Silverbird of "The Future of the Cherokee Nation," which was written by Redbird Smith, in 1918.
