Rather than an ordinary film soundtrack, this might more accurately be considered an exceptional Loudon Wainwright album. A diehard Wainwright fan, director Judd Apatow explains in his liner notes that he asked the singer-songwriter to score Knocked Up, Apatow's first film since The 40-Year-Old Virgin, only to learn that Wainwright was about to embark on his next recording project with producer Joe Henry. The resulting album features material that Wainwright had written before the film score that the director wanted to use, other cuts that are instrumental snippets in the movie but are songs with lyrics on the album, and still others that take thematic inspiration from the film. While Wainwright so often writes lacerating and hilariously personal material, many of these songs are more like character studies, with a musical range that extends from the ragtime "So Much to Do" (one of two songs written with Henry) and the call-and-response of the chromosome ditty "X or Y" to the Brecht/Weill cabaret tinge of "Final Frontier" to the bluesy "Doin' the Math." Among the musicians providing stellar support are guitarists Richard Thompson and Greg Leisz and keyboardists Patrick Warren and Van Dyke Parks. --Don McLeese

It is ok, but.................2007-07-13
This CD is OK, however I was expecting a little more of a sound track type CD. So good CD, just not what I wanted.
Very, Very Beautiful Music.......2007-07-10
I saw "Knocked Up" twice at the theatre and was mezmerized by Loudon Wainwright III's beautiful voice and musical score. This soundtrack is lovely, especially "Grey in L.A.", "Daughter", "Lullaby", "Naomi" and "Strange Weirdos". Don't let the title fool you. This CD is beautiful music to listen to. I highly recommend this soundtrack and would give it more stars if they were allowed. **********
Good stuff!.......2007-07-04
That director Apatow selected Wainwright to score his film, and that the latter happily accepted, reveals a lot about the cockeyed sense of humor that both men possess. This is a warm, albeit skewed, view of love and parenthood that will delight any longtime Wainwright fan and, for the uninitiated, will serve as a good introduction to his songwriting skills. One hopes it will also persuade fans of the film to look into his extensive back catalogue of witty and sometime mordantly hilarious music. Keep up the good work, Loudon!
This one sucks!.......2007-06-24
I have been a fan of Louden way before 'Dead Skunk' came out. I have seen in in concert too many times to list. I also have enjoyed everything and I mean everything that he has put out. This one to me is bad, it just did not click, the only track that was ok and I mean just ok was 'Daughter'. This is the first bad review I have evey given Louden and I hope the last one.
I thought the movie was great,so it is not that. Good Luck to the people that buy this one and I hope you enjoy the music I sure did not.
Music you can ignore!(?).......2007-06-21
To borrow a phrase from John Cusack's character from "High Fidelity" I sometimes want music I can ignore. This pretty much sums up all of Loudon's music for me. I can always have it playing in the background and tune in when I feel like it. It seeps into my head and pretty soon I realize I have been listening to some amazing songs. I discovered Loudon with "Last Man on Earth" and have been hooked since. I keep hoping others will catch on to his music and when I heard about this project I was nervous. Will he try to be too commercial? Will this become another one of those "Ally McBeal" moments? (You know what I mean...the whist full walk into the ending credits while a song plays and the characters take turns looking into the camera so we can all learn the episode's lessons.) But I should not have worried. Turns out he has been making music that could always be played during the ending credits but the difference is that his words will teach you what the actors cannot.
"You Can't Fail Me Now" may be just about the best song I have heard in some time. So honest it hurts. "Daughter" has been one my favorites for sometime. How does a man who write such amazing melodies toil in relative obscurity?
Others have written more poetically about the songs and the CD as a whole. All I can add it this...put on the CD, do some cleaning or have some tea. Maybe clean the garage or sit by a fire and let the music just play. Pretty soon you tune in and realize you were not ignoring this music because Loudon will not be ignored. He will find his way into your soul because he is sharing so much of his. As for this being a soundtrack...I think his music has always been a soundtrack. First for his life...then for ours. Get this CD, get hooked and don't ignore him any longer.

Radiofriendly hit machine from Forbert. Not so much edge, but hey enjoy it!.......2007-07-04
Steve Forbert has included a new version of Romeos Tune on this new CD. And most of the CD is in that musical genre so to speak.Steve Forbert has included a new version of Romeos Tune on this new CD,and most of the CD is in that musikal "hummin genre" so to speak. This is a musikal gem overall, that become better and better with more listning. Then suddenly it bang`s into your`e soul, and leave some musical angeldust in your ear. Track 1 Middel Age is a typical Forbert gem. Walkabout rythm with a very hummin` tune. Happinnes speaks all over the track. Track 2 Strange Names follow up the "feel" and credibility of the previous track. Not edgy, but very earfriendly, and enjoyable to listen too. Track 3 Simply spalding gray it`s an another cup of tea. This has a touch of irish roots in the intro, but it demands quite more from you. A minor letdown in my ears. Track 4 Man, i miss that girl, brings us more or less back on the track again. Forbert voice had so much pain and feel alltrough. Quality shines. Track 5 You`re meant for me is in typical Forbert territory. It`s romantic, have a certain feel, and drizzel angeldust in your`e earchannels. Track 6 I will sing your praise, is the one with the spinal marrow cord touch. The one you can feel. Track 7 Something special, it`s more cliche ridden in a way. A minor letdown, but a good listen anyway. Anyway. The harmonica lifts it up above average. Track 8 My seaside Brown-eyed girl, has a very open soundpicture, where the instrument`s drizzel here and there and makes`it complete. Track 9 Baghdad Dream is the "rock and roller" on the CD. A mood changer, but it works.Lyricks are extremly good on this one, and yes it`s about the Irak war. Track 10 Thirty More Years, it`s a so so track. Average, but quite interesting. Track 11 Around the bend is the uplifting one. Brings joy to your`e heart. It`s instrumental, but hey who cares. It has that "x- factor". Track 12 Romeo`s tune. Greatness shines. What more can you say about Forbert`s biggest hit ever. This one has it all. Enjooooooy. All in all a great album, but some of the tracks are a minor letdown. But it`s a safe buy anyway. Forbert has quality, and never go out of style.....
A must for Forbert fans.......2007-06-30
My first impression when I first listened to the CD was that it, (unlike other rescent Forbert albums), was a little too soft around the edges. And although the songs were great, I felt the music supporting them didn't fully extract the richness from them. However after keeping it in my car for a few days, It really grew on me, and now I accept it for what it is and as another Forbert masterpiece.
If the first listening doesn't hook you, the second one will. Or the third... Maybe fourth.

Customer Reviews:
My eyes have seen you.......2007-05-16
"Strange Days" continued the breakout of the Doors, back in the flowering of the 1960s music scene -- which is admittedly a great place to start. Their sophomore album showed no signs of a slump, polishing up the rough blues'n'rock of their first album, and continuing into weirder, more intense territory.
It opens with the dark, hallucinatory beauty of "Strange Days," with Jim Morrison's rich voice singing distantly, "Strange days have found us/Strange days have tracked us down/They're going to destroy/Our casual joys..." His melancholy vocals are totally at odds with the energetic drums, keyboard and bouncy melody.
It's followed by the affectionate-sounding "You're Lost, Little Girl," and the deliciously stompy-bluesy "Love Me Two Times." Having hooked listeners in, the Doors spill out a stream of bluesy rock'n'roll -- sometimes it's dusty and raw, and sometimes it's flavoured with keyboard. And at the end there's a haunting pair of slow, atmospheric rockers -- the darkly enticing "I Can't See Your Face in My Mind," and the sprawling electrobluesy "When the Music's Over."
"Strange Days" does pretty much the same thing as the Doors' first album -- a catchy intro, blues-rocky middle parts, and a haunting, long outro that lingers in your mind. The big difference is that in this album, their music is less striking, but it is more polished and experienced.
That polish is especially present in the music -- Robby Krieger played some brilliantly flexible guitar, whether it was lean rock riffs or a funky little tune, and John Densmore was equally good with some quirky drums. Ray Manzarek flavoured the whole thing with marimba and colourful waves of keyboard. Most of the time this worked -- the only real exception is the dark, mildly frightening "Horse Latitudes," which is a good experimental track, but it feels out of place.
But Morrison gave the music that extra boost into genius. He had a rich, full voice that could flower into a croon, a murmur, or an impassioned howl. And his songwriting was pretty much poetry, full of strange imagery and passions ("The face in the mirror won't stop/The girl in the window won't drop/A feast of friends/Alive, she cried/Waiting for me outside...").
The Doors continued doing what they did best in "Strange Days," a blend of blues and psychedelic rock'n'roll. Definitely a deserving classic.
Great album.......2007-04-19
As with the new issue of L.A. Woman I recently purchased the sound on Strange Days is phenominal. This should be an example of how re-releases should be handled. We, as customers, shouldn't settle for anything less.
Pros: The clarity of all the instruments is amazing. I can't say enough about the sound. I don't have a problem with the album being remixed because I think it's done for the better. The remixes are subltle enough to the casual fan that they probably won't even notice.
Cons: My only beef is there really aren't any "bonus" tracks on here. A live track or two would have been nice.
A Classic Release Brought Back To Life!.......2007-04-10
"Strange Days" was The Doors' sophomore effort, the attempt at bringing back for another round the kind of feverish, poetic magic attained in their classic debut. Few follow-ups have achieved the kind of artistic, sonic accomplishments The Doors got here which is why many consider "Strange Days" their best effort, second only to their first album. Now in light of the 40th anniversary of the band's introduction to the world, Doors engineer Bruce Botnick has taken all their albums and remixed them from the original master tapes, what he achieves here, as with the remastered debut, is a complete resurrection of a classic recording. The album now breathes and screams with fierce energy and detail. The opening title track is now a true gothic opus as the effect of the first synthesizers is better appreciated in Jim Morrison's menacing delivery of a world gone insane. John Densmore's drums are heavy and intense while Ray Manzarek's organ is more defined. "Love Me Two Times" is a ferocious blues rocker with a killer bass now more audible while the creepiness of "Horse Latitudes," a spoken-word piece Morrison wrote in high school, is more striking this time as many of the layered effects are clearer. "Moonlight Drive" has better piano/organ parts. Some purists have been scoffing at the remixing, claiming these are not the same albums. This is a wrong analysis, what Botnick has done is create a more clear, defined piece considering the older recordings suffered from the original technological setbacks of the 60s and in the case of the first album even the speed was off. Solos and instrumentals are easier to hear now and the sound quality is superior to anything previously released. This is the same debate that was sparked in 2002 when "Elvis: 30 #1 Hits" was released and was also bashed for taking the original masters and remixing them. These are the same songs, same vocals, same instrumentals, simply put back together to sound as they were originally intended to sound. "My Eyes Have Seen You For Example" has a sharper bass and piano section. Morrison's voice never plowed under, it is even more ferocious in this mix. The great epic "When The Music's Over" is a glorious powerhouse of musical expression and poetics mixed with rock. Morrison's frantic screams are brought up and Robby Krieger's masterful solo is also more detailed here. The song is a timeless work that is fitting for our current, uncertain times. In it Morrison speaks for a world caught in a war and a youth culture waiting to explode. If only he had known that in the Bush/Iraq era, his words would still be perfect for the times. "Strange Days" itself was originally released in 1968, right when Vietnam was starting to heat-up and more and more young Americans were returning in bodybags as others took to the streets. And yet what sets The Doors apart from other bands of the era is that their music is fitting for all times, all moods, because darkness is an ever present reality. Morrison was ahead of his time, this is more clear now than ever. His black leather-clad image of a wild, poetic frontman has been emulated countless times over, even his stage attitude was a precedent for Iggy Pop and Punk, listen to "Horse Latitudes" and you can see where Patti Smith was spawned. "Strange Days" is one of those great rock n' roll albums that will live on as long as there is music in the world, Jim Morrison will remain an icon for generations of rebels and the sound the Doors produced is set in stone. Now remixed and remastered, this album lives again, more potent, more dangerous than ever.
Remixed!!!.......2007-04-03
Yes, the sound is great but the tracks are remixed, often with new vocal and instrumental parts. These are NOT the original mixes! Caveat emptor!

Product Description
Ah, those Horrors, perhaps one of the most divisive bands to cross the Atlantic in recent memory. Mindless noise? Fashion victims? Absolutely not. The Horrors are one of the most complete, intellectualized, though-provoking bands out there. This is music for youth. It is unifying in its chaos, startling in its simplicity - all those things that music fans have been bemoaning as dead and gone. And now, its up to you, dear music fans, to allow the Horrors to take you on their journey back in time - to a time when music evoked fury, evoked interest, evoked debate. A time when you spent all your pennies at record fairs trying to find the most twisted explosions of sound ever pressed to vinyl.
Customer Reviews:
A fun, noisy blast!.......2007-06-10
The Horrors come across like a cross between early Birthday Party and mid-period Damned with a hint of Radio Birdman thrown in. No doubt many will slag them off since they're young and cute but neither necessarily makes musicians worthless.
Something old and something new.......2007-05-30
Ok, hard rock, meets pink floyd, meets the the munsters theme? Think Teacher leave those kids alone, meets metal in their hit " She is the new thing"
Or try this bum bum bum bum bum, bum bum bum bum bum.... the backbeat to Count in Fives....been done so many times. Every song has a super repitive beat, and is almost comical with their funny voices. I don't know whether to laugh or dance? All of their music is a horrible stolen 50's monster movie music theme....it's laughable. It's funny, but I am not sure it's creative or interesting. All the songs sound the same to me! It just doesn't do it for me.
Bauhaus Meets The Standells.......2007-05-25
Pretty good 80's tribute band, if you like the Birthday Party you'll probably like this. A lot of this reminds me of "Junkyard" to be precise.
The best songs on here are the amazing "Count In Fives" and "She's The New Thing", which sounds exactly like the Stranglers. "Gloves" steals the guitar riff from Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Nicotine Stain". You could play "Count The Influence" all day but ultimately The Horrors have still turned in a very entertaining record. For all the carping I've made about their influences this is still more solid than anything else currently out there.
SUPER FRESH AND PROMISHING!.......2007-05-23
Playing for first time the "strange house" the debut cd of the Horrors you get the feeling "Alas,i can breath again !". Dark deeply gothic and extremely sadistic lyrics with a definitely intriguing music transfer you in another world like those you experience in the deepest dungeons of your rpg games. If you have seen the video clip of the single "Sheena is a parasite" directed by Chris Cunningham I am sure you noticed some kind of perfectionism which is obvious in the entire cd. The producers of the work Jim Sklavounos of the Bad Seeds,Allan Moulder (Depeche Mode) and Nick Zinner leave no doubts about the quality of the whole work.
I Strongly recommend this cd to those the like this kind of music. Personally I love anything that brings new fresh air ... !
My new favorite album.......2007-05-19
Best album I've heard in years. Primal, noisy, spooky etc. When you hear terms like horror punk, garage, even goth, one might think "pfft we've certainly heard that before" but these guys do sound unique. They are a breath of fresh air. Loud, noisy, brash, Adams Family organs, early goth and punk, garage twangy reverb guitars, stick figure physiques. What more could one want in a band? The USA is so infantile in it's acts that even decent singers like Gwen Stephani, Nelly Fertado, and Fergie are reduced to child-like nursery rhyme vocals over repetitive beats. Our rock is reduced to whiny, bratty emo kids with the same whine/scream vocals, the same lyrics, the same production, the same haircuts. We are way too steeped in R&B and Hip Hop culture on the main stream front. Oh, and Nickelback (gag reflex kicks in) whom I categorize as "rock for people who don't like rock". Most British acts that the zines herald now are kind of poor Franz Ferdinand type clones or boring balladeers. The Horrors remind me of more pure times in music. Sifting through record shops in the East Village for word of mouth underground bands. They make a joyous noise. Bravo! Anyone else wanna chime in?

Album Description
"The sound of rainbows bursting through the tarmac of the big city." This is how NME described the sound of Scottish foursome the Cinematics. Like so many of the current crop of 80's influenced UK acts, the band elicits the cold, grey, stark and sometimes austere side of life in the North. Powered by tight grooves that demand movement and passionate, powerful and thoughtful vocals, the Cinematics also bring emotion and warmth. The end result is music that transcends any trends or underground niche.
Their debut album, "A Strange Education," is a stunning collection of dance-punk grooves and guitar interplay with lead vocalist Scott Rinning's ardent vocal delivery. Even in his early twenties, Rinning's voice reveals a power and gravity well beyond his years. The Cinematics' singles, "Break," and "Keep Forgetting," each find a place that resonates in your heart and in your mind. The stirring "Human" is one of those special songs that sends chills up your spine.
Already too "big" sounding for the small club stages they've been playing in America up to this point, the Cinematics live show is flawless. Powerful, tight and often inspirational, a Cinematics show reminds you of those special times when you saw legendary acts before the rest of the world.
The current single "Break" will be followed by "Keep Forgetting" and its brilliant video which captures the band in a modern version of classic French New Wave Cinema. "A Strange Education" cd will contain both of these songs' accompanying videos, as well as two additional live videoclips of the band performing on Dutch TV show "London Calling." The band is touring with Mute Math from March through May.
Customer Reviews:
The Real Deal........2007-05-25
This album gets better with each listen. It's VERY catchy, it's incredibly emotional, the lyrics really make you feel and think, and you can play it through start to finish without skipping a single song. Not bad for a debut!
Every song is brimming with passionate lyrics, incredible vocals, insanely catchy melodies and beats, and generally all around addictive qualities. I find new things to love all the time, and I can't even pick a favorite - I'm constantly thinking "oh this is the best one" "no, this one is" "no wait... this one is!" as the album plays. There really is no weak track.
I have quite literally been unable to listen to anything else since I bought it a few weeks ago - I'll switch to something different, thinking I'll get tired of it and regret it if I overplay it, and inevitably about 3 songs later I have to switch back to the Cinematics. It's just that good.
In addition to the brilliance of the album, they put on a shockingly great live show that is dripping with passion and talent. These guys are The Real Deal. They don't disappoint in the studio, and they don't disappoint on the stage. Don't miss out - check out this disc and see them live, too, if you can. You won't regret it and might just find your new favorite band!
PS - there is also a great Beck cover (Sunday Sun) as well. I find a lot of covers are generic and boring, but this one completely stands on it's own (as does every track). Check them out!
Stunning.......2007-04-15
Passionate with a spirit of punk and goth, almost like pre-Joshua Tree U2 at times and solo Peter Murphy at others, this is one of the best debuts to come out in ages. After an initial listen, I was ready to dismiss these guys as another in a long line of Interpol clones, but after a second attempt I was HOOKED. The closer - Asleep at the Wheel - is simply amazing; it begs to be heard loud. Can't wait to hear them live.
You crazy Scots! You're awesome!.......2007-04-08
I recently heard The Cinematics live. They were opening for Mute Math (check them out, but not right now) in Minneapolis, and when they walked on the stage I'll bet most of the audience was thinking, "Please just get this over with so we can see Mute Math...." But then they started their set, and I present to you the progression of our collective thoughts:
-"Heh, his accent is funny."
-"Wait, they're playing now. This isn't so bad."
-"Hey, this song is cool."
-"Huh, I'm straight, but the lead singer is umm...good looking AND funny."
-"Wow, this song is awesome!"
-"Yeah!! You guys rock!"
-"Play another one!!"
-"We love you, you awesome Scottish people!"
-"No, don't go!!!"
The crowd was a bit subdued at first, but after the first couple songs, everyone realized these guys were for real, in fact, why were they even here in this little club? I suppose everyone has to start somewhere.
The lead singer has a spectacular voice, their songs are very well written, and they're a lot of fun to listen to. I'm buying their album right after writing this review (the sample clips sounded just as good as their live performance), and you should buy it too. Yes, they're that good.
Now go look up Mute Math :)
Best of the Bunch.......2007-04-03
More powerful vocals than Interpol, more quality music than much of the post punk 80s inspired alternatives, and better songs than the Strokes period, this album rocks with a post punk attitude of sensitive aggressions.
Stark landscapes are etched with much uptempo energy. While they're from Scotland they lend themselves more to that LA/NY post apocalyptic edgy dark inclinations of The National and such.
Love this album. Lacks the perkiness of Brit-pop thank you and hasn't any weak cuts.

Customer Reviews:
turned off!.......2007-01-15
Bought this CD after reading the rave reviews. Not what I look for in music. This group seems to be more about sex appeal than music. More about production than real music--one can barely notice that there is a string quartet playing. Could only stand to listen to this once-could find nothing of interest. One heck of a photo shoot, though. SOmeone must have had a field day with that. This CD seems to be more for the sake of some sexy pictures than its music. A real turn-off.
Bond Shines Another Day.......2006-06-11
Fans only had to wait two years for Bond to punch out another Classical/Pop/Dance album. The finished product is some of the string quartet's best work. With the return of violins, a viola, and a cello, these instruments provided the basis of Bond's Classical music sound. But to acheive the full sound of Bond, the electronic instrumention for Pop/Dance music returned as well. This time around, Bond dove further into the Classical genre and arranged pieces to match their own sound. With a name like Bond, the string quartet also performed their version of a James Bond Theme entitled "Bond On Bond", and it landed them a spot to the score and soundtrack for the film The World Is Not Enough. With the release of this remarkable record, it was clear that Bond and their new form of Classical music would not diminish.
Stand out tracks include:
"Allegretto"
"Shine"
"Fuego"
"Speed"
"Gypsy Rhapsady"
"Bond On Bond"
A Good Band.......2006-01-05
It is a good party music. All are very talented individuals. Everyone has their own taste of music, and Bond is mine.
Shine On!.......2005-06-02
This is the album that I really liked. Although I downloaded it, I also play this one nonstop. I love the whole CD, and that's rare for me!
The album is liked so much in my house that my mother and father take it from me--and I recently had to make copies of the CD so they can play their own!
"Shine" is a great addition to your collection if you love Bond, no doubt about it.
Does it come with a scratch and sniff?.......2005-04-15
Read my review of Lara St. John's "Re: Bach" album and substitute "Bond" where it says "Lara St. John."

It figures that the Moody Blues' dignified brand of pop rock would age well. The group's second studio album of the 1990s--its first in eight years--reveals a veteran foursome still capable of delivering sophisticated goods in a satisfying manner. The 57-minute package, the first self-produced recording the group has released since this current lineup formed in the mid-60s, takes a yearning, cautiously optimistic view of our modern state of being and adorns it with a pleasant sheen of mature energy. The sound ranges from politely symphonic to playfully Beatle-esque. Strange Times, in fact, offers a few nods to the Moody Blues' storied history, even including a spoken-word coda by Graham Edge à la Days of Future Past. (The poetic content is a bit baffling, though.) Justin Hayward is in fine voice, and the album's uptempo pieces ("Foolish Love," "The One," "English Sunset") rate as highlights Though a touch too sweet in places, Strange Times is an engaging listen for long-time fans. --Terry Wood
Customer Reviews:
Moodies Aged Like Fine Wine.......2007-06-09
My beloved Moody Blues aren't the spring chicks they once were but then neither am I. They're a lot older and grayer, but don't seem quite ready for their rocking chairs. They would all qualify for the senior citizen discount at any of the local buffet restaurants in my area, but I don't see 'em parking in the handicap spots- not yet anyway. Like the old cliche says they are like fine wine, only getting better with age. Indeed they have aged well, hence the title for my review. I am not going to give an in-depth, song by song review here, just a very brief synopsis on the album as a whole.
I have to give 'Strange Times' 5 stars because it is a truly beautiful piece of work by the marvelous Moodies. Their singing and songwriting are as great as ever, their music still sounding like the Moody Blues. Justin Hayward: what can you say, the man is indeed amazingly gifted and advancing years haven't diminished that at all. He is in top form here in this work. The man certainly knows how to pen great songs and then sing them like no one's business. He leaves me in awe sometimes at just how he does it.
The one thing, the only thing that 'ST' didn't provide me was a rocking tune by my favorite rocker, John Lodge. That was a shock to me, as I can always count on "Johnny B. bad" to rock my world- at least once per album. Lodgie has been the rocking soul of the Moodies since 1966 and I cannot imagine them without him, and this album shows me exactly how much I would miss that. Perhaps John moves to the beat of a slower drum these days, at least in what he puts on paper. He still rocks it on stage, though. Regardless, his work on this album is superb, bringing out his loving romantic side. Listening to his sweet airy voice in my headphones is........ aaaahhhhh. For that pleasure alone, I can forgive him for not letting me get my groove on to his driving bass line.
Bottom line: The Moody Blues are still The Moody Blues, wrinkles and all. They have been giving us joy for over 40 years with their talents and music. I know the world is a better place, simply because their voice is in it. This album is a must-have addition to any Moody lover's collection. Enjoy!
GO MOODIES!!! (I didn't think you had it in you).......2007-03-14
This is definitely one of the best MB releases since the classic years of 67-72. In fact it is certainly my favorite since Seventh Sojourn, with 1983's The Present coming in a close 2nd place. John Lodge owns this album with his great ballads. Justin does well, and Ray and Graeme both contribute a song apiece. Where this album really shines is in production: it simply has more punch than any other MB album. The only flaws are 1) the techno beats on 'English Sunset', 2) 'Sooner or Later (Walkin' on Air) is a little corny (but very catchy), 3) The whole album is a little hard to sit through, 4) Graeme Edge sounds like he's eating peanut butter during the last track, 5) It is a little dated in it's millenium references. Other than that it is a very good MB album. Heads above The Other Side of Life, Sur La Mer, and Keys of the Kingdom.
stunning.......2006-07-15
John Lodges "words you say" is an amazingly beautiful ballad and the one that got me to buy this cd. Justin,as always, is simply astounding as 'english sunset', 'haunted' display his golden voice
and innate virtuosity within the pop song format.The last track on the album with Edge's poetry, is mildly reminiscent of their first album,'days of the future past'. Once again Ray Thomas provides an almost childlike lullaby, the superb 'My Little Lovely'.Lodge does have a tendency to go over the top occasionally, but is still not really a drag on the album.Good work guys, this album is great.
Disappointing.......2006-03-23
This is as far from the original concept as you can get. Every single song on their albums from 1967-72 had more passion, bite, and creativity than this whole CD! I liked the MB up to 'The Other Side Of Life' which was at least 60% quality material. Sur La Mer was dreadful and found them out of their element trying to compete with 80s cheese (Janet Jackson, Huey Lewis, even Cutting Crew), but had a few likable moments. I didn't even bother with "Keys" after hearing their leadoff single. They talked about this album for 8 years, and it was supposed to be a return to form or something. I bought it and after a few listens, got rid of it. Not a single melody or memorable song, Ray Thomas' ditty comes off as silly and forced, as does the poem at the end of the album (after such a poor effort, it just emphasises how far these guys have fallen, by trying to make a connection with their old quality music). How the hell can anyone give this album 5 stars? Whether this is a contract obligation, or whether the motivation to make quality music has dropped, this is cringingly lame.
Take Us Back When We Were Young.......2006-03-12
"Strange Times" is reminiscent of the Moody Blues' 1970 album, "Question Of Balance". Instrumentation is stripped of keyboards and orchestra on some songs, relying much on drums, acoustic guitar, bass and their signature harmonies.
The album, as the title suggests, relates to time, a theme first explored in "Days of Future Passed". Unlike that early concept album, "Strange Times" looks back at their career. musical era and "love-and-peace" mantra.
The album's cover photography and rocking title track "Strange Times" alludes to the age of Aquarius ("house of the water sign") when the Moodies first burst onto the music scene in the 1960s.
The song "The One" is purportedly about the Moodies; verses one through four refer -- or so it would seem -- to former MB members Denny Laine, Mike Pinder, Patrick Moraz and the current MB line up, respectively. "My Little Lovely" is a fairy-tale like song Ray Thomas composed for his granddaughter. "The Swallow" is a hypnotic guitar-driven tune Justin Hayward composed one evening in the south of France. "English Sunset", "Haunted" and "Foolish Love" are three more songs from Hayward, equally rousing. "Nothing Changes" returns to the Moodies use of the 'spoken word', read by its author and MB drummer, Graeme Edge, who while not as profound as in earlier poems, sums up the album's message rather aptly.
"Strange Times" comprises 14 tracks in all, of which less than a handful are inspiring, and these come the group's bassist, John Lodge, whose songs while quite meaningful are not in the vein of his up tempo classic " Ride My See-Saw".
Included is a booklet containing the lyrics and pictures of the band at the studio in Italy where the album was recorded. All in all, "Strange Times" is a brilliant return to what made the Moodies one of the masters of art rock -- strong vocal harmonies, tight concept albums, catchy tunes and thoughtful lyrics.

Album Description
Joining the ranks of People Under The Stairs, Colossus, J Boogie's Dubtronic Science, DJ Mark Farina's "Mushroom Jazz", and more, Om's roster of forward thinking hip-hop continues to grow. Myone, Myth, and Symbolyc (S1) are Strange Fruit Project; three emcees who continue to set trends as not your typical southern hip-hop group. Each member sings, raps, and is influenced by the constant journey of everyday life. Through innovative production and creative lyrics, their music separates them from many independent artists.

The Healing of Hip Hop- A album to relax too.......2007-07-06
This is a excellent effort from southern rappers in a world of snap, crunk, and pimp music! A southern artist myself and into the more thoughtful hip hop, i knew i would love this CD. It reminds me of a common/LB LP. The beats are wonderfully soulful, and so are the lyrics (wow). If you are a true hip hop fan buy this album, relax, and bump it!
Outstanding tracks:
Ready Forum
Under Pressure
Liberation
Get Live
Who am i kiding....the WHOLE ALBUM!!!!
Talented and Refreshing.......2007-04-20
This is a very talented group of young MC's. The music is mellow and it has an all around "Good Feeling" to it. This album can be enjoyed by all.
IntelliHop!.......2007-04-14
Really made their mark with this installment "The Healing". Lyrics courageous enough to really speak to our condition with cleaver tracks, stimulating instrumentation and flow sychronized rhymes. They trully demonstrate they understand the importance of timing when delivering the verse. Outstanding production and collabo's including Badu who is always a welcome addition to any conscious track as well as, underground's trio Little Brother who have definately shown their devotion to the underground. All the tracks on this joint have a message you should be able to relate to.
It is a collector's item for those who focus on this love life music. This one if for the PEOPLE.
GO GET IT!!!!!!!!!!
Dirty South? {4 Stars}.......2007-03-14
If Little Brother were still interesting, not full of themselves, or taking themselves so seriously, they'd sound like Strange Fruit Project. I know I'll get a lot of unhelpfuls for that statement, but I think S1, Myth, and Myone have similar rhyme styles to LB, but with more speed and fluidity and less dependence on metaphors and similies. You can witness the similarities and the differences on "Rise" which features Little Brother. Not only do they spit like no other rapper I've ever heard out of Texas, but the production is on point as well. S1 raps, but he also (excellently) produces 5 of the 14 tracks with 9th Wonder (1), the underrated Illmind (3), Nicolay (1), M-Phazes (1), the constantly overlooked Jake One (1), The Foundation, and Vitamin D holding down the rest of the production. I have to say that the beats are definitely what you'd expect from that lineup.
As far as flaws go, there really aren't many. Maybe one or two tracks are what I would label as skip material (Liberation & Pinball). They just didn't grab the ears of this particular listener, but if you dig that smooth stuff, then you should be able to play this one from start to finish.
The Healing is easily one of the top 15 hip hop releases of 2006. S1, Myth, and Myone are some of the dopest rappers I've ever heard to come out of the lone star state. To be honest, I never knew Texas had it in 'em. I recommend adding this one to your library.
Standout Tracks: The Plague, Soul Clap, You (The Only Ones) (My Favorite), A Change feat. The Procussins [Bonus Track], Get Live feat. Erykah Badu, Under Pressure, Makin' My Way, and Special feat. Thesis
Good easy listening, slightly experimental.......2007-02-17
This hip hop has a positive religious vibe with the likes of Erykah and soulsters like Darien Brockington and Thesis. I would class it as neo-soul/underground hip hop. Feels as though it has a touch of kindred the family soulness to it which is always good. The beats vary from song to song which gives some variety, there's some new experimentalness there but I always find I can hear new styles in more hardcore and underground hip hop. Overall some wicked collabo's and a bit of heart tingling stuff but nothing to give it the label of being a classic (even though the group are relatively unknown).

great!.......2007-06-10
Great album! Tech is a great emcee, and still stands out from others in the mainstream nowadays. A solid album. Look for other great hip-hop albums like Labor Days(Aesop Rock), Mmm..Food(MF Doom), Kancer(Klown Korpse), or get Tech's Anghellic, which is probably his best.
So ill.......2007-06-09
Still spits it real, still talks what he feels. The CD is too raw.

3. No Can Do - Pretty good song. I really liked it the first few times i heard it, but it kinda gets old fast. Hits HARD!! 4/5
4. Welcome to the Midwest - Great song. Good beat with good raps!! 4.5/5
5. 'Bout to Bubble - no need to say anything about this song..tech is BOUT TO BUBBLE!!! GREAT SONG 5/5
6. It's What You Thinkin' - Pretty good song, I had to grow on it a lil!! 4/5

Overall this CD is amazing!! I also recomend ALL his music but mostly this, absolute power, and angellic!!!
* also In My Head by Tech N9ne and Whip It by Kutt Calhoun on the bonus disk are a GREAT songs!!!
There's no questioning Tech's flow, but..........2007-02-28
Arguably the greatest to ever grace a microphone but his hooks/choruses/whatever bring the album down. I'm just not digging the girls that sing on 3/4 of his hooks. It's the same disease that plagued Canibus - weak choruses. I agree with the folk that want to hear him on a Neptune/Timbaland beat. Dre's beats are recycled garbage nowadays. Not his greatest album, iTunes Come Gangsta. But for those that can look past it, Tech N9ne's delivery/wordplay is as good as its ever been. Werd to Big Bird. 3 1/4 stars.
Tech N9ne keeps making classic/great albums!.......2007-02-26
This is a classic to me, Tech havent released a album in 4 years.. and than he drops this, the expectations were high within his fans and just hiphop fans in general.. he always makes that musik that stands out.. it dont sound like no other musik in the world.. Tech N9ne - Everready is 100% the best album of 2006...!! if you havent bought this already.. you should..
