5 out of 5 stars Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

5 out of 5 stars Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

5 out of 5 stars Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

3 out of 5 stars Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

4 out of 5 stars Looking for a different taste of jazz, hip hop and soul........2006-02-02

It's refreshing to hear a genre in the music industry that has'nt been taited by the formula that if a certain sound sells jam it down the publics hears regardless of substance. The best of this Acid Jazz delivers especially for those who can appreciate jazz instrumentation,a solid hip hop back beat,a latin soul groove, funky club mixes and mellow R&B vocals all together in one style of music. This music brings everything to the table and can be enjoyed in any setting, I purchased six CDs so far in this series including the Verve Remixes and I will tell you that after hearing these tracks smooth jazz sounds like the high school band.

3 out of 5 stars Seems kinda weak to me...........2004-01-13

I just bought this cd a couple of weeks ago, and while some tracks stand out as being cool, a lot of them on here are either really corny or straight unlistenable. I was hoping for a lot more "fusion" type tracks, a la hip hop or house or something. But I was disappointed. Maybe a lot of the tracks were before that whole trend. Perhaps this is just not quite my thing, but this isn't really a whole lot like the other stuff I listen to, i.e. st germain, jazzanova, mr. scruff, etc. which I had considered to be "acid jazz." Maybe I'm wrong.

5 out of 5 stars What a Compilation!.......2002-01-19

i love it, what else is there to say? The best is Mitch Moses' song Lonely Blues but there are so many great songs on this two CD set. i think there is only one song i don't care for and it isn't like i hate or anything. i highly recommend this CD as a good intro to Acid Jazz (which there ain't enough of in my opinion!)

5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Overview.......2001-12-18

I am at best a dilitant when it comes to acid jazz, but this is an excellent collection for someone who is interested in the genre. The mix of songs have a bit of flavor from almost every other music style, and yet taken as a whole, is a very cohesive ensemble. You definitely get an idea of the range of possibilities as well as some guideposts for seeking out specific artists or sub-styles.

4 out of 5 stars Funkisized.......2001-10-30

This was my first taste of acid jazz and it left me wanting for more . I'm more used to the Rippingtons and Spyo Gyra so this extensive 2 CD survey gave me a good "wiff" of the range of styling and composition . The riddims are great for road cruisin' in the car CD and just chillin'. The case is flimsy though and one track skipped. Lots of grooves for the $$ .

I LOVE NY is, in my opinion, the best of the 6 jungle sky volume series. Always a favorite at house parties and also a perfect cd to pump up the friends in the car on the way to a rave. Good for long night drives too. Dj Wally is the man so check out his CD "The stoned ranger rydes again". Totally rad cd. Peace

5 out of 5 stars Stunningly beautiful and uplifting - best Nicolette album so far!!!!.......2006-04-06

This is definitely Nicolette's masterpiece. You can see the musical connection between this and her last two albums but this by far the most musically audacious, but catchy and infectious album to date. My fave is Groovy, a jiggly cover of the Simon and Garfunkel tune, but all the songs are pure gold. Ranging from ballady symphonic style electronica (fire in the heart) to drumnbass infuenced quirkiness (I Am where the party'sAt, Jenny) to to funky, soulful electronic pop (Wholesome, Soulfully) to whispering violins (Worship). It all sounds like a big colourful sonic celebration. And on top of it all Nicolette's amazing voice sends shivers down your spine. A unique treat - don't miss it!

4 out of 5 stars Not as good as Let No One Live Rent Free In Your Head.......2005-12-30

which was sonically and musically all over the board and brilliantly experimental. However, Life Loves Us is Nicolette's most consistent release to date. Each track compliments the one before it creating a refreshing and uplifting listening experience. Presently, I AM WHERE THE PARTY'S AT, SOULFULLY and SUNSHINE are the tracks that stick in my head the most. The BIRTHDAY INTERLUDE is another in which Nicolette samples her friends singing Happy Birthday to her and turns in into a 30 second trip hop ditty. WHOLESOME is probably the oldest single released from Life Loves Us(and it is also where the album title comes from). It appears in a completely reworked (and highly superior) version on Plaid's Parts in the Post. The only setback to the disc is Nicolette wrote, produced, programmed and arranged every track. The absence of the production talents of Plaid and Alec Empire are obvious as some tracks (like the chorus of SUNSHINE or all of WORSHIP) are a bit murky and muddled with Nicolette's voice too high in the mix. A friend I played this for said it sounds like she got a Casio keyboard and plunked out a few songs and I can see his point. For example, the opening snyth swoops of SUNSHINE are frighteningly similar to the synth swoops sample on Music Generator for Playstation. It's not that bad, but Life Loves Us could have benefited greatly with an extra hand or two in the pot to stir things up a bit. Overall if you're a fan of Nicolette you won't be disappointed. Well worth the almost 8 year wait. 3 1/4 stars.

5 out of 5 stars Great music, great singer with a unique style........2005-10-22

I have most of the Nicollette CDs, and I love this one the most. She brings a bright sunshine and exhuberance to her music. It is like listening to a form of drum and bass, mixed in with electronica. Some of the songs are very infectous and I keep hearing them in my head, and I begin dancing.

5 out of 5 stars How much do you care about the US Jungle scene?.......2002-11-01

Alright, check this out. Whatever the hell this guy from Ft. Collins is talking about, you shouldn't listen to. Firstly, I lived in Washington DC for a few years, so I know my music, plus I've been producing for 3 years, and Djing. I have seen Soulslinger live, and he and TC Izlam are possibly one of the best sets I've ever seen...most definately in my top 10. I have also seen Ming + FS, who are on this album, and they are just as amazing.

Here's what I can't stand...people who are obviously not into many sounds of the genre make their comments, and ruin it for the average possible buyer. If it were ANY OTHER album, I probably wouldn't even care, but I had to say something here.

Soulslinger is honestly one of the hardest working people in US Jungle, and has given his whole life and career to the scene, especially when you note the fact that he is now in his mid-50s. Because of people like the aforementioned critic, Jungle Sky has now fallen apart, which was around before Breakbeat Science, might I add. If anyone in their right mind gives a care about US Jungle, you'll forget what that guy said, and buy this CD, and anything else from Jungle Sky, especially 1.8.7.'s releases.

Not saying that this is a CD you should buy out of sympathy...its pretty damn good. The hip-step (1st disc) is actually pretty tight. Tracks 2 (by Hive) and 10 (Odi & G-Force) are my favorites, and hit VERY hard (the bass on 2 might blow your system, if its good). The 2nd disc is just NASTY, the track by Reid Speed and FS (S.I.M.P.L.O.T.) is insane, plus the Ezra Opt (Suspect) and Burner Brothers (Spit Fire) tracks.

Bottom line. If you remotely like the US SOUND, buy this.

2 out of 5 stars Not enough silver lining on the dark clouds in this Sky.......2001-02-07

I picked this up because it seemed like a good price for a double-CD compilation. Unfortunately, it's not a good deal if the majority of the content is mediocre, which for my taste it is. This collection contains full songs, not mixed together, but with very little space inbetween, so the flow is almost unbroken. In the liner notes, Soul Slinger proffers some dubious philosophy.

Disc 1, the "Hip Step Disc", consists of alright rapping, excessive cussing, and almost nothing of redeeming value. Yellow Note's "The World Is A Jungle (Livia's Philosophy)" is the gleaming exception, based on some nifty reggae samples. Some other tracks are okay, like "Mirror Image" by Dstar featuring MC Steele, but most of the songs tested my endurance.

The "Liquid Step Disc" is markedly better than the first disc. The music is not spectacular, but it sometimes toys with interesting ideas. For instance, in the last track DRUM FM sets Johann Sebastian Bach's "double violin concerto in D minor" to frenetic beats topped with bleeps and bloops. And in "Spit Fire", the Burner Bros. deliver a pleasing concoction of jazzy "intelligent jungle" with classic drum & bass energy.

Overall, though, the bad tracks outweigh the good on this 2CD set.

5 out of 5 stars Can I get a Rewind!!!!.......2000-11-23

If you've been keeping up with the whole "This is Jungle Sky" series, get ready to be suprised. It seems almost impossible, but the Jungle Sky crew does it again. "This is Jungle Sky Vol 7 - Jah Nezah" is a double cd set that will have you on the dance floor calling for the rewind. The first disk, titled "Hip Step Disc," sucessfully manages to combine hip-hop elements with solid, no-gimmick drum and bass. Original tracks from Ming + FS and tracks featuring T.C. Islam make up this disk, not those drum and bass remixes of already popular "rap" titles we've all heard a billion times before. The second disk, "Liquid Step Disc," is all Jungle Sky doing what they've always done and taking drum and bass to the next level. This CD is an excellent CD to add to anybody's drum and bass collection, or a good CD to begin building one with!

I dont usually listen to jungle music. Im more of a industrial guy but I liked this cd alot. Sounds a bit like aphex twin with the beats. Buy it

5 out of 5 stars The beginning of Liquid Sky.......1999-02-06

Yes, first Jungle CD I ever heard was these crazy motherf%$#ers in NYC. The best compilation features 2 remixes by T-Power, Look Jerk Sound System, Kingsize, Emerald Cricket, DJ X-plorer, Jason Jinx and the ever present DJ Soul Slinger. A must have for any Jungle junkie!!!

I Believe!

4 out of 5 stars cd=good.......1998-11-25

This cd is full of some really good tracks. Good mix of hard/soft beats and ambient/jungle music. Worth a listen for sure, don't know about the rest of the series though.

5 out of 5 stars JuNgLe/DnB at its BeSt.......1999-12-27

This collaboration just simply kicks arse! Amazingly groovy, PhAT pHAt BeaTs, and insanely hypnotic, This Cd set will Make you dance, whether you want to or not! SoulSlinger is dope on Clearly, with some killer sampled vocs... Ming & F5 w/ Werdplay is massively intense, with a heapin dose of some of tha best freestylin' mans lips can produce! If ya like FuNkY BeAtS, HaRd JunGLe, or Maximum Drum n Bass, then this cd set is a MusT!

5 out of 5 stars a fantastic collaboration of funk- based jungle music.......1999-09-05

This is jungle sky is a wonderfully intruiging title for a ground breaking, mezmerizing, not to mention irrisistably groove splitting album. The music is extremely progressive and pioneering, but the funky beats rival those of funk fore fathers such as James Brown, Stevie Wonder, or Earth Wind and Fire. Obviously, I reccoment this album to all.

1 out of 5 stars This is not jungle.......2006-01-28

This is the absolute worst "compilation" I've ever bought. At the time I didn't know many jungle producers' names, so when I saw the mix names I figured it gave some credibility.

When I got to the car I realized it's actually a bass CD. One of those ones you used to hear the guys at the stereo competitions. None of it is actually music, it's just a bunch of big bass notes with extraneous samples and "jungle rhythms" thrown on top. It's fine if you're looking for one of those bass CDs, and if I had bought this a couple years before that I would have been happy with it. But don't buy it thinking it's real jungle.

As soon as I sampled it I literally threw it out the window. If someone woke up one morning with this on their front porch, I'm sorry.

4 out of 5 stars Desperately Seeking Jane..........2003-09-22

Here we have a kind of unusual Jungle/Drum n' Bass sampler. I get a sneaky feeling that it's the same few DJ's using many aliases...Clue: the same high-speed toast-vocal woman is on 80 percent of the tracks! Notice also how almost all of the mixes are named after English points of interest (Oxford, Manchester, etc.) All that aside, musically this is a pretty fun disc. For example, "Wicked Selection" is just that: a jammin' piece of jungle with a cool vocal (not the hyper-girl for a change, although she's jammin' too, don't get me wrong).

My favorite tune is the opener, "Jungle Of Love". This contains one of the most cornball and extremely caucasian Jungle vocalists I've ever heard, singing lines like, "I feel like Tarzan searching for Jane, swingin' through the Amazon (!)" It's about as campy as you can get, it tries WAY too hard to be hip, yet somehow it works! In fact, that song, like the whole disc, is one goofy Jungle experience! I only took away one star because of the somewhat dishonest way this is presented as a 'Various Artists' disc...when, as I said, I think it's just one person or collective. Still a nice, highly danceable, and usually inexpensive buy.
