"I know an island where the people are kind / And the rest of the world seems far away / Maybe it's only in the back of my mind / But I know when I go that's where I'll stay." One could not wish a better end result for the late Kirsty MacColl, whose last album opens with this prediction. Tropical Brainstorm serves as a sunny and joyous bookend on a career cut tragically short. Musically, it is a bit of a departure, favoring vibrant Latin-flavored flourishes over the slightly darker jangle of earlier material. There is, however, no mistaking the album's creator from a lyrical perspective. "Treachery" giddily turns the star-fan scenario on its head, imagining MacColl stalking a fan who has abandoned her for the musical flavor of the month. "Here Comes That Man Again" is a decidedly naughty and wise survey of cyberculture's impact on modern romance. In "Us Amazonians," a hearty romp that's easily as good as anything off of Paul Simon's The Rhythm of the Saints, the narrator punches out her true love to show him what's truly important in life. These are not your ordinary pop songs, and that's a fitting way for things to end, if they had to. MacColl always held a singular place in Anglo-pop. She was equal parts Morrissey as a less self-obsessed heterosexual woman and Flannery O'Connor as pop star. In other words, unique, and an incredibly precious resource for music to lose. --Bob Michaels

Fun CD!.......2007-05-18
Kristy's songs are funny, sometimes a bit raunchy, and entertaining. What a tragic loss that there will be no more.
Fabulous Fun.......2007-02-08
Witty lyrics, catchy tunes with a latin beat. I just love this CD. So many quotable lines, but I think my favorite is: "He said, 'Won't you walk up and down my spine?/It makes me feel strangely alive.'/I said, 'In these shoes?/I doubt you'd survive.'"
I do have to say the last 3 "bonus tracks" take away from, rather than add to the overall effect (I usually stop after "Designer Life"), but the rest of the CD is so good it still gets 5 stars.
Spectacular album in every way.......2007-01-11
If an album could express the complexity and essential qualities of a person, this is one. Sure, it's a great dance album with big chunky Cuban overtones. And sure, it would be hard to find someone who this album would not appeal to, its likeability is so complete. But the artist reaches the listener on so many levels simultaneously. It's a pure and pleasurable assault that renders the listener helpless with amazement. On the surface, a fun romp, but underneath, deeply profound. I could not get enough of it, and wore out my first CD. The joy and abandonment and humor and wit the album displays is masterful. If I could given it a hundred stars, it wouldn't be enough.
The good and the bad.......2006-08-23
I loved the beginning if this cd! Very rhythmic and the lyrics are brilliant. The middle of this cd is also very good, and again, brilliant lyrics. Almost all women can relate to her stories with a resounding "Me too!" I have listened to parts of this cd over and over and over again. The ending is, well...the ending is...?? It is like being served a wet fish after a fabulous meal. It ends with a flop and just doesn't sit well. Bottom line - I would purchase this cd again despite the ending because the rest of it is so good!
fun and honest songs.......2006-07-10
A friend made a copy of this CD for me, but I loved it so much I had to get my own shiny new copy. The songs on this CD are fun and funny; honest and sometimes sad. Kirsty MacColl manages to give you a glimpse into her world as an entertainer and as a woman. I have had a great time singing, dancing, and humming along to the whole CD.

Long before music marketers coined the term ambient to describe ethereal electronic music that's too slow to dance to, Moby had already written several songs that fit nicely into this genre. They are included, along with newer material, on this album. Moby's more conventional song structures will appeal to those who find Robert Fripp and Brian Eno's experimentation unpalatable. "Myopia" is a good representation of Moby's ability to write accessible ambient music that never strays too far into the abstract. --Beth Bessmer
Customer Reviews:
I've got a case of chillout with the infectious Moby virus.......2005-08-13
In this album, which I am currently listening to for the first time, Moby has created an awesome collection of music (although not EXACTLY like the title suggests, it's close enough, mind you) that's the perfect moodsetter for anything. It's melancholy and well mixed and addicting, like all Moby stuff. Ambient really shows that Moby can explore further in the electronic realm and still keep that great Moby vibe going.
Highly recommended for everyone, especially Moby or any electronica fan.
You can say that his ambient music just "exists".......2004-09-09
Ok...I'll say this...I was not too impressed by some of his ambient tunes, but it wasn't too bad either. The ones I really went into another world with was, My Beautiful Blue Sky, Heaven, & Tongues. The way the ambient melodies moved with the light, background beat made these three tracks such a joy to listen to. After that I honestly thought he went downhill...don't get me wrong though, I really like hearing music that have a nice piano melody, but, not the way Moby did it. His piano tunes were a little too boring for my taste (they are better on 'Everything Is Wrong') and I felt that they did not go anywhere irrelevant. Overall, I give 'Ambient' three stars for being SO-SO. Thanks!
My favorite MOBY album.......2003-10-28
Sure MOBY's albums; PLAY, I LIKE TO SCORE, EVERYTHING IS WRONG, 18, are all pretty good...But no song consistently mesmorizes me(In a good way)like the song HEAVEN does....I focus on one single instrument as the rest of the instruments play around it.. It's an awesome song.. The rest of the songs are good..I hope MOBY does another HEAVEN like song... Then I will have two mesmorizing songs instead of just one...
So what, it's not ambient.......2003-10-09
blasphemy! he called a chill-out album ambient! STONE HIM! STONE HIM!!!!! HERETIC!
you people are losers. ok, it's not quite pure ambient, not in the smallest sense, but does that make it bad?
no.
what if the album was renamed, say, myopia. would that make you hardcore freaks happy?
what are you, the pharisees of ancient israel? stray just a bit, and you are a hertic? get over it.
try to review the music for what it is, rather than what the album was named.
Disappointing outing for Moby.......2002-12-27
I'm a huge fan of Moby. I own Moby, I Love to Score, Everything is Wrong, Animal Rights, Play and 18. I love them all with a passion. I love to chill out with Play & 18, and get dancing with Moby. Sadly, I didn't enjoy this.
Probably the most major problem I have is the title.
I call Brian Eno's The Drop Ambient. This album isn't ambient. The music is quite jarring, and isn't soothing like play and 18.
Probably the most interesting thing about this album is the cover. It's the first time I've seen Moby properly with hair. ;)

Pairing DJ Krush, known throughout the beat underground for his subdued, trippy soundscapes, with Japanese avant trumpeter Toshinori Kondo may seem an odd pairing. This record, however, is instantly knowable and intuitively easy to grasp. Krush's beats, while certainly up-front, don't come at the price of the composition, nor do they blast Kondo's trumpet out of the tune. DJ Krush is not only able to drive the direction and tempo, but he's also quite adept at creating mood--often mixing up somber, downtempo collages that glide with an underwater grace. His uptempo work is direct, solidly propelled by someone who knows how to handle bass and breaks. Thankfully, the canvasses Krush mixes up are large enough to include Kondo's color work. The trumpeter (who's worked with the likes of Herbie Hancock and John Zorn) takes full advantage of the opportunity. Kondo is a breathy, richly toned player, and his meshings add to the dreamy, psychedelic feel of the recording. He's effective whether he's drifting beside Krush's swirling dub coiled in a haze of effects or punctuating beats with pure blasts of horn fire. A hip-bop classic. --S. Duda
Customer Reviews:
Jazziz Magazine is right on the money (scroll up).......2007-01-09
The trumpet throughout most of this album is unhelpful enough to make me wish it wasn't there at all on some songs. There are brief moments when Kondo's playing illuminates and enhances Krush's moody, earthy beats, but throughout much of the album the horn playing is uninspired and unfocused enough to become distracting and actually diminish the effect of the beats. In places, it kind of sounds as if Kenny G. wandered into a Tokyo ghetto and couldn't find his way out. Those familiar with Krush's other collaborations with edgier, more bombastic Jazz horns (e.g. Edge of Blue) will recall how well they worked out. The album isn't all bad, though. Krush's signature soundscapes make Ki-Oku a satisfying listen when they're being complimented by Kondo, and still listenable when they're not. Recommended for background music more so than for attentive listening.
great album for relaxation with quality music.......2006-01-29
As a trumpet player, I was looking for an album featuring a trumpet with a jazz/free form style and interesting production and beats. This album is exactly what I was looking for, and I'm hoping to do something in this style myself.
Mostly Good Stuff.......2005-07-21
dj krush rarely does much for me as a solo act, but when i noticed he had teamed up with a trumpeter, toshinori kondo, my interest peaked. the collaborators turn out a simple album. dj krush lays down the beats and toshinori kondo plays the trumpet over them. krush and kondo switch between upbeat and slower numbers, most of which don't deviate much from what you would probably expect from krush. on a personal level, i find that the more ambient tracks work better. the beats tend to be more spatial, thus allowing kondo the drivers seat and giving him more room to explore. kondo plays mostly muted melodic notes in a cool jazz fashion, and occasionally he'll play the electronic trumpet - which usually sounds like multiple trumpet parts. the more upbeat tracks have a monotonous beat underneath that just grind my nerves after a while, although they may be a nice spin for you dj folk. for comparison sake, focus somewhere between miles davis 'doo-bop' release and graham haynes 'music for the 21st century.'
One of the most Consistent fusions of Jazz/Trip-Hop.....(Miles Davis would be Proud!!!).......2005-07-05
Dj Krush has been a premier figure in the art of stylished, beat arrangements, for some 12 years now, and he's produced a level of albums that have remained remarkably consistent. veering from hard-edged, hypnotic beats, to Slow cerebral laid-back grooves, as well as ominous and brooding soundscapes, and defining nocturnal and slightly detached tempos. Dj Krush has relatively explored the vast majority of avenues that a DJ/Producer can reasonably expect, encompassing: 'Trip-Hop, Breakbeat, Electronica, Acid-Jazz, Hip-Hop, Ambient'. And he is also remarkable for not only having collaborated with a great many artists, but seemingly able to generally always get the best, out of whomever he decides to collaborate with. Probably one of the more unexpected collaborations, was with celebrated Japanese trumpeter "Toshinori Kondo", who is able to manipulate the trumpet to perform in a sort of lyrical, introspective, and melodic style, that at times is refined, confident and mannered, but then also able to remain inventive with his performances and change the dynamic with a reflective, detached and atmospheric arrangement. Dj's taking Jazz instrumentation and implementing it within the confines of Trip-Hop/Hip-Hop isn't anything new, but instead of making a fairly uptempo Jazz/Hip-Hop record, Krush scales back on the BPM, and produces something far more cerebral and in tune with the relaxed feel, or something like 'Miles Davis'' seminal "Kind of Blue".
What DJ Krush actually contributes himself, is a level of slow burning production, that pays full respect to the trumpeter, providing the programming and beats and more importantly in giving the music a subtly shifting quality, and beautifully coupling the laid-back grooves and low-slung beats with the lushly passionate arrangements, that work perfectly with the tonal and structurally harmonic orchestrated trumpet. Toshinori Kondo himself centres himself perfectly around the widely sensual, atmospheric textures, and languid, mid-tempo break-beats that Krush is able to provide, and rather than remain completely reliant on one form of trumpet, the various tracks across this remarkable album feature him using acoustic and electric trumpet. With some of the tracks that feature electric trumpet owing a sizable influence and debt to Miles Davis's late-period electric albums.
If you've become accustomed to the more uptempo, and breakbeat/Trip-Hop albums, that DJ Krush has become famous for, so long as your aware that no Vocal collaborations with Rappers or singers exists on this record, or that there is nothing here, that largely resembles the blunted, smoked-out beats of other albums, most will find this to be a supremely well-produced and surprisingly soothing album. Think more like an album that has more in common with steamy, soundtrack-type music, with the emphasis on slow beats, scratching, and mellow horns, and intimate grooves layered on top of other grooves. It has the sort of introspective and reminiscing quality of 'Miles Davis's' electric trumpet, fusion of jazz/electronic masterpiece: "In a silent way", but with a heavy emphasis towards beats fused with cool trumpet. Krush fans shouldn't hold back in any hesitation in purchasing this, as it really does fit within the brilliantly consistant run of albums that Krush has produced, and is arguably some of his most melodic and breathtakingly gorgeous work. And such is the elegantly stylish nature of this album, that places a firm emphasis on cerebral intimate harmony, that it has the accessibility & sheer brilliance to grab DJ Krush a whole new set of fans......unquestionably reccommended.
Jazz for blade runners.......2005-06-18
I'm forever in search of the perfect jazz/electronica hybrid, but 99.99% of the albums that are classified that way are just jive dance music with badly-played trumpets or tablas or some damn thing thrown into the mix. Some of Nils Petter Molvaer's music, particularly an obscure remix CD called "Recoloured," comes close; Erik Truffaz's "The Mask" tried to come close, but was too simple and pallid; but Ki-Oku is THE stuff -- the music that Miles Davis would be playing now if he was still alive and awake. Using trumpets and turntables only, two Japanese guys invent vast, brooding sonic landscapes that sound like what Deckerd of "Blade Runner" would be listening to if he had really good taste in jazz. The first track, "Toh Sui," was obviously at attempt to make a "dance-friendly" opener, but after that, the album dives deep into echoey, lonely spaces that are perfect for 3am stoned listening. I gave a copy to one of the guys who helped create "The Matrix" and he said, "This album makes me hallucinate."

Rasputina dish up an Alice in Wonderland psychedelia mixed with a Kate Bush sensibility and Medieval-meets-Victorian vibe in both appearance and musicality. The end result on Cabin Fever, Rasputina's sixth overall release since 1993, is charming, if likely too idiosyncratic for mass acceptance. Since Melora Creager (who toured with Nirvana in 1992), formed the band in the early '90s, this New York-bred trio of female cellist-vocalists has opened for Marilyn Manson and Bob Mould, attesting to the diversity and quirkiness of this lineup. On Cabin Fever, from the quavering vocals of "Remnants of Percy Bass" to the revved-up pop-tech stylings of "AntiqueHighHeelRedDollShoes" to moments of music-box delicacy, Rasputina show a penchant for creating wonderful, odd, and old-fashioned vignette-style lyrics and songs. "Quaint" and "enchanting" are not likely words that lead to the cover of Rolling Stone, but that's no matter, as long as Rasputina's considerable and curious charms allow them to invoke more musical magic. --Katherine Turman
Customer Reviews:
No one seems to understand..........2006-01-10
No one knows this but Rasputina is the most simple yet intelligent band in the world. Perhaps I'm biased. However, I feel that Cabin Fever is their best album. In order of preference, I would say that my favorite songs are:
#1-Thimble Island
#2-Clipped
#3-My Orphanage
#4-Hunter's Kiss
#5-AntiqueHighHeelRedDollShoes
People think Thimble Island is about grabbing a man. It is, but if you listen to the lyrics, there is a hint of darkness that suggested to me, this Thimble Island is a place in the afterlife.
"You go there alone/To find someone for to call them your own/I've not heard of girls returning/it is a murky mystery place."
Also, there is definately a watery theme to the album.
It just seems that no one understands the album and the purpose of the musical distortions so well put together and artistic on the the album. THIS IS THEIR BEST ONE!!! I have and LOVE all of their albums. But I truly feel Cabin Fever is the most well-executed.
Not like the two previous ones, but ingenious none the less........2005-09-30
There are only three song on this one that I do not like: State Fair, Antique High Heeled Red Doll Shoes and Cooped, for some reason those songs just really grated on my nerves. Other than that however, I thought that the songs of this album were really great. Although a lot of the other veiwers did not care for Remnants of Percy Bass, I felt that it was a really beautiful. I do understand peoples' dislike for this song though, because the sound of the dulcimer is very unusual. The dulcimer is a very ancient musical instrument, most people aren't even familiar with it's sound unless they have heard Asian music which is why the dulcimer can really take some getting used to for the ears of many westerners.
half and half.......2005-07-24
I'm a Rasputina fan, albeit not a huge one. I don't feel the need to have everything they've ever recorded, but I do have all four LPs and their live album and consider them one of my favorite bands. The problem with Rasputina is that, to my ear, they have a tendency to occasionally, among the brilliance, create songs that are absolutely unbearable.
And so we have Cabin Fever!. This is what I would consider Rasputina's weakest album partially because of this tendency for polarization. It has songs I absolutely love. It has songs I absolutely loathe. More than half the album is very good. But it has more songs I can't stand to listen to than any of their other albums.
But this isn't the only reason I consider Cabin Fever! to be their weakest album. Song-writing aside, this album suffers from having been Rasputina's first independent effort. All the songs on the album would have benefited greatly from re-recording, better mixing, and an outside producer (or a second opinion). The album overall has an unpleasant stringent quality. All the sounds are a little too harsh and hard on the ears for comfortable listening, and I'm not sure that the sound-quality is quite where it should be. My overall impression of the album is that it is frequently nearly cacophonous, and it shouldn't be.
That being said, there are songs on this album that I wouldn't give up for the world, despite some tinniness. The following breakdown is completely biased by my listening preferences, but I think it is indicative of the uneven quality of the album.
Songs I love: SweetWater Kill (The Ocean Song), Hunter's Kiss, AntiqueHighHeelRedDollShoes
Songs I like: Gingerbread Coffin, Thimble Island, Rats, PJ + Vincent & Matthew + Bjork, Our Lies, A Quitter
In between: State Fair*, CrossWalk, Cooped
Songs I can't listen to: Remnants of Percy Bass, Clipped**, My Orphanage
* I've always been torn about State Fair, but especially now since I've fallen so far in love with the Tweaker Remix available on My Fever Broke (which is much less stringent and much catchier), I can't really stand the original.
** What kills about Clipped is that it's the harshness of the recording that could have been fixed that makes me unable to listen to it, not the song itself, which I think could have been really good if it had been recorded differently.
To the Rasputina fan, I would recommend that if you can pre-listen to this album, do so and pick off iTunes the songs you want if you don't care about having the cd packaging. Otherwise, go ahead and buy the album--there should only be a few tracks that disappoint you.
To those who are not already Rasputina fans but are wondering if they should be, don't start here. I would recommend How We Quit the Forest, but it is out of print although available at iTunes. Either download it there or pick up Frustration Plantation instead, provided you keep in mind that the southern influence is characteristic of the album, not the band as a whole. Another good idea would be to grab a couple of tracks from each album off iTunes, which would help you get a better sense of the band's phenomenal range.
Another Awesome Raspy Album.......2005-06-18
I loved every song on this album with the exception of the Bjork joke song. Rasputina doesn't ever dissappoint.
I don't really like this one........2004-11-01
I don't have much to say about it. I listened to it once, and it was too loud, raspy and it hurt my ears at times.
The date thing was hilarious though, and that gives the album 3 stars alone. I laughed my ASS off at that.

Throughout his ponderous career, Richard M. Hall (a.k.a. Moby) has mutated from skinny techno antistar to vegan Christian crusader to guitar-wielding punk and back again, picking up new fans (and new detractors) along the way. Although his brand of pop music has fallen out of favor with the techno cognoscenti, you can't ignore Moby's role in bringing the European variation on techno to American shores, transforming it from the mainstay of hip clubbers into the soundtrack of suburban teenagers. And for what it was, the music wasn't bad either. This eponymous album, released way back in 1992, collects the better musical moments from his early days on the Instinct label, including memorable tracks such as the frenetic "Drop a Beat" and the serene, Twin Peaks-sampling "Go." For neophyte techno listeners seeking some historical perspective or aging ravers looking to relive their salad days, this album is a must-have. --Matthew Corwine
Customer Reviews:
Where it all began..........2005-08-02
For those who only discovered Moby in the past few years, due to the phenomenal success of "Play" and the media expuse he's gotten since, it might come as a surprise that Moby used to make honest-to-goodness dancefloor-ready techno! This record chronicles his early 90's sound and is worth obtaining simply for his first hit, the classic "Go", still heard at clubs today! The album is a mesmerizing blend of beats and hooks, and is guaranteed to get you moving or driving fast! "Next is the E" was a modest club hit, and has an insanely fast beat and wild vocal screams. "Have you seen my baby?" features a scary-serious male asking the question while Moby's blippy keyboards build and swell. And as a precursor to the experimentation with disparate genres that would characterize his later career, Moby includes blues guitar on "Everything" and cuts of downtempo ambience on "Slight Return" and "Stream". This LP was truly ahead of its time and is a great summary of both the state of early 90's US dance and Moby's role in shaping the scene.

i am a moby collector, and i have 25 cds and records, and this is the one i put in once and never listened to again. if you want some of moby's early music, buy early underground. it's a collection of tracks released on singles and remix singles. it's a much better collection. it's easy to see why only two of these songs were released as singles. it's absolutely nerve-wracking. it sounds like a boiler room exploding from the beginning to the end. the only two songs that are halfway decent on here are stream and go. and i'm not a fan of go. not recommended unless you're an absolute moby maniac and you have to have all his CDs.
Moby's Debut CD: The Anti-Aspirin.......2004-07-02
The first Moby album I ever purchased was Play, and I found it incredible. I then bought 18, Animal Rights, and Everything Is Wrong, and liked them all. So when I popped Moby's debut album into my CD player, I was shocked.
Moby's later work defies and rises above traditional techno, to create beautiful, sometimes soothing, sometimes energizing music. This CD, on the other hand, sounds like your worst nightmare out of the 80's. It's nothing but endless repetitive electronic beats paired with annoying sound effects. Only the last song on the album, "Stream", shows any promise at all.
So obviously, my recommendation would be to steer clear of this album. Unless, for some reason, you think it's been too long since your last headache.
GO!.......2004-04-03
This was Moby's FIRST Cd and it's very diffrent from the radio friendly "play" and "18" but still very pleasant. This album is more of a rave/house album then the elecro-pop he later made. "Go" and "Drop a beat" became big Euro hits and Moby became a big name on the charts already in 91-92. It's a great album, most are obviosly instrumental with fast beats and catchy addictive melodies, Dancable like few other Moby albums. Songs like "Yeah" and "Next is the E" are also great, simular to the other two but so are the rest also, we can clearly see that this was a album from 1992 when the rave music was huge and Moby wanted to create his sound, later on he got a more solid and personal sound though. A CLASSIC album anyway. Worth the money.
Drop a beat.......2004-02-20
I didn't get into Moby's music until his 1999 breakthrough smash "Play". That was a pop cultural phenomenon for techno music to make the crossover into pop music back then. Since "Play", I had been a fan of Moby's. Since then I have bought his last album "18" as well as his earlier albums like "Everything is Wrong", "I Like to Score" and his self-titled album. Unlike "Play" and "18", "Moby" is pure techno music. There isn't any gospel samples used on the cd like on "Play" and "18". "Moby" reminds me more of Future Sound of London (early FSOL), The Prodigy, and Leftfield. I like the cd. It is different however I find myself enjoying Moby's more recent albums beginning with "Everything is Wrong". Still "Moby" is an interesting album to listen to because it is a contrast from "Play" and "18". I guess if there was a track that remotely sounds anything like what the public heard on Moby's last two records, I would have to say that "Everything" is that track. It does give the listener a glimmer of what to expect from Moby in the years to come. "Drop a Beat" is an okay track but I certainly can groove more to the sounds of "Yeah" and "Electricity". The music on this cd may be a lot less radio friendly but it still has a good beat to dance too. Perfect rave music if you ask me. If people are looking for something that sounds more like "Play", "Moby" isn't the album to buy. If you want to hear Moby's earlier album and to hear his techno roots, "Moby" is a good cd to look into.

The guitar player for the non-guitar player.......2007-07-12
You ask someone who doens't play guitar...."Hey you..yeah the guy who doesn't play guitar. Who is the best guitar player?" He'll probably say "aww man... Hendrix...( if you're a half decent guitar player you know that Hendrix isn't that great, he just started a revolution.) or he'll pick Eric Clapton (same deal as Hendrix, he isn't techincally very good but, he can make his guitar sing), or the always popular Santana (guy knows one scale and one key)....... What's special about these guys? One thing..... they make their guitars sing. An average person doesn't want to listen to Steve Vai blasting away at 1,000 mph, they like music. That's where Hoey comes in.
Techincally speaking, he's okay. He doesn't step out of the penatonic scale that much, except for a few modes here or there. He's pretty clean, but when compared to Paul Gilbert or Andy Timmons he doesn't add up. What he does is makes music people like to listen to. It doesn't change keys a thousand times, it just has a beat and good melody you can sing. That's why I like Gary Hoey. So for you reviewers who blast Hoey for his techincal mishaps, I'm right there with you, but I'd rather listen to Hoey than Vai any day.
Nice mixture of styles.......2006-03-07
I like how this guy blends the Satch tone with edgey blues-rock and 70's metal. I think this blend makes him pretty unique, rather than "not bringing anything new to the table". After the first few seconds of listening, it sounded new to me, and I've listened to just about every artist and style of music you can imagine. The X Factor is that part of the music that makes you want to get up and rock the hell out. This album has it.
Damn near perfect........2005-12-14
I first saw Gary play on the headbangers ball-b-q in 93. He was in the background jammin out.My only focus was on his music. Not the goings on around him. I bought the CD shortly after that appearance. I own everyone of Gary's disc and they all have their own endearing quality to them. I do not play any guitar on any other musical instruments for that matter. I just a guy who likes good rock n roll and quite a few other genres. So even though I'm not a guitar snob I am a music snob. I can tell you that this CD was amazing to hear in 93 and is still a total joy to listen to again and again. I had to repurchase this CD recentley because I wore out my original copy. Satch, Vai, and Johnson are really good. But my favorite is Gary.
6 strings + 12 fingers= this.......2005-07-14
Ahhh, the mid-to-late 80's. Lame bands (mostly) and great musicianship (mostly). Thankfully, Gary followed in Satriani's footsteps and flew solo. This guy is great, and so are all of his albums. If you get a chance to see him live, GO!
Okay, but not the best........2005-06-23
This is a pretty mediocre CD. A couple songs get a little laborious, but overall it was okay. I got this after getting HoHoHoey and liking it. I was curious to hear what his original stuff was like. The only real problem I have with it is that Gary kind of sounds like a cheap Joe Satriani knock off. A few of his riffs are tired and bland, and Motown Fever just seems like he's trying a little hard to expand his musical styles. But its a very noble effort indeed, I will give him that. The high points the album are "Hocus Pocus," "Texas Son," the slide intro to "Deep South Cafe," and the very very nice acoustic stylings on "Jamie." I really suggest trying Joe Satriani first if you havent already. Try Surfing With The Alien or Anthology, and I would also try HoHoHoey, cause its really nice to have around the holidays when people tell you to put on some holiday music and you dont want to put on any traditional junk.

Mesmerizing Compilation.......2006-01-11
For fans of the spell-like quality of medieval rock and shoegazing/dreampop, 12 Tales is a rare little must-own. It's probably my favorite compilation CD ever made. It initially attracted me by the cover art (I'm a huge Amy Brown fan) and then pulled me in by the track list--Rasputina, Cranes, Violet Indiana, and Miranda Sex Garden all on the same album? Sweet! I was immediately made a fan of the lesser-known artists on 12 Tales, such as The Flir, Bitstream Dream, Future Bible Heroes, and Livid Kittens. A booklet insert is a neat little feature, as mini-story and a piece of Amy Brown's fairy art accompany every track listing.
Don't except anything too heavy here--rather, the CD consists of 12 atmospheric tunes that will take you straight to Dreamland. Highlights are the Crane's "Flute Song," which has melodic aching quality set to a soft baseline; Bitstream Dream's "Impossible Gardens," which carries trace-like vocals set to a mid-eastern vibe; Violet Indiana's "Purr la Perla," which has this faraway, wistful texture; and David Sylvian's "Room of Sixteen Shimmers," a darkwave, fantasy gem.
Don't buy this album.......2005-12-27
One word, terrible. I asked for Nosferatu's Rise (awesome) for christmas and my mom saw this album under the "users who bought this album also bought" category. Save yourself the agravation and pass this one. I feel like Ive been robbed because I put the time into listening to it. There are only two good songs on the album and one of them is all but ruined due to shabby recording quality. The rest either are ruined due to the recording quality, or have terrible lyrics and crappy music, or usualy both. Hunter's kiss is sung in the first person from the perspective of a deer that has just been shot. Stupid stupid stupid. If you want an album like this except better in every way buy the soundtrack to the Witchblade comics. You won't miss out on anything if you dont read them as I dont and still thought it was awesome. Common, Peter Steele is on it.
ugh! too many filler songs from goth bands I don't know.......2005-10-31
Eeew! Where's bands like Bauhaus, Collide, or Hungry Lucy? Almost every band on this compliation I've never heard of, and 87% of them suck terribly. The only songs that did anything for my gothy side were the tracks from Bitstream Dream, The Creatures, and Russel Mills & Undark. All the rest are absoluty horrid and just aren't good songs at all. I'd pay the 7 dollars for just Bitstream Dream's trace-inducing 'Impossible Gardens' song. At least the packaging and artwork is interesting.

For any fan of Amy Brown, Rasputina, MSG, this is the set for you. Not a bad song on the list, and many great exclusives, including some of the most attractive packaging I've ever seen on a CD. The storybook is gorgeous, and the disc itself is like a random shuffle of my playlist. I love it!
uniquely brilliant.......2005-05-18
i love listening to this cd because its so relaxing. And strangely enough alot of the songs make me feel like im in a movie. Anyway i especially love rasputina's "hunter's kiss", its different than any other songs ive heard yet i can't stop listening to it!

More about this little known album.......2006-11-17
This is one of the best Funk compilations in the market today.Yet we ain't talkin' 'bout classic funk here...hell no! These tracks are all performed by a group called "The Poets Of Rhythm", a tight-old school style funk band from E Germany...you read that right.Their signature sound is to make modern sounds that make you feel like u listenin' to some 45 outta the 60's when infact these were composed in the late 90's
The bands appear under different names here as they had several performers in and out of the band during these recordings.
To get a more comprehensive feel of their music try looking for the titles "Original Raw Soul" and "More Original raw Soul" both available here.These have more tracks from the bands featured here as well as some history behind each recording for example Bag Of Soul was originally performed as Santa'a gotta Bag Of Soul and was origially written as a christmas gift. But if those 2 albums are outta stock then definately grab this album....after listenin' to the samples I ain't gotta tell you why...
Good but lacking.......2006-05-27
I enjoy the sound on this album, it definitely lives up to its name of raw funk, but I was disappointed with how short the cd was. 40 minutes of music barely fills up half a disc, and I'm sure there's other obscure b-side jams that could have been added. Plus the liner notes were virtually non-existent. It would've been cool to learn a little more about the album and the bands that are on it. But all things equal, it's still funky.
Great stuff.......2005-02-19
If you aren't moving to the first track, you aren't breathing. A great blast of pure funk.
Exquisite. Raw Funk at its best to lift up your spirit........2000-11-15
This is one of the best CDs on the Funk, Jazz Funk and Raw Funk market that I have ever heard. Total exquisite, spicy and groovy, a perfect blend for a depressed spirit. Buy this Cd and you will not be disappointed, it will be a passage to a funky and groovy Paradise.

Awesome Set!.......2007-07-01
I am a huge fan of Jerry Goldsmith. They did a great job preserving his vision. I can listen to this collection for hours. Great music!
Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection.......2006-11-03
This is compilation of hit film music from one of the greatest composers in motion pictures. What is surprising though is the music not included like the Ghost And The Darkness, the 13th Warrior, Rudy and others. To be sure, 4 discs are not enough for a composure of this stature. THe recording, however, is an "engineering masterpiece" which makes the music even more enjoyable than when you first heard it at the movies. When are we ging to get the music that was omittd from this compilaton?
Overall a strong Goldsmith sampler.......2006-04-11
Okay, this is a CD review, so the focus is on music, but I've got to say this first: this has got to be a contender for the ugliest cover art ever. I mean, come on...instead of a tribute to the composer, the cover looks like someone spilled a glass of merlot over a NASA photo.
Fortunately, even an ugly cover will not ruin good music. And the good news is that I'd say about 75 percent of the music is good....and on a 4 cd set, that's a lot. Like other Silva compilations, the strength of this compilation is the variety. There are selections from the big releases (Star Trek, Omen, Rambo), but there is also a healthy dose of tracks from the smaller releases(Under Fire, Lionheart, The Swarm).
Two examples come to mind. Capricorn One and The Great Train Robbery are two movies that are not exactly household names today, but are dominated by two of Goldmith's finest main themes. The City of Prague Philharmonic come through with terrific renditions. And there are plenty of other strong performances...a few being concert versions conducted by Goldsmith himself. Suprisingly, "The Wind and the Lion" works, which is no small accomplishment given the ferentic original performance of "Raisuli Attacks".
It's not a complete success. A few of the performances fall flat, particularly some of the more inventive scores. Total Recall is just bad, mangling the performance with poor percussion and synthesizer choices to boot. Also a letdown is the Klingon Attack from the first Star Trek movie. The Prague Philhamonic attempt doesn't sound bad--it's just that once you've heard the original soundtrack's "blaster beam" with enough bass to rattle your teeth...well let's just say Silva's version is a little tinny in comparison.
But I shouldn't dwell on the negative. Overall, this is a strong sampler of Goldsmith's variety. There are plenty of quality performances here, and despite a few omissions (noticeably Planet of the Apes)this is a very good release from Silva.
Jerry Goldsmith - 40 years of pleasure.......2006-02-22
It was wonderful to hear Mr. Goldsmith's music that went all the way back to The Man from UNCLE, The Waltons, Dr Kildare, etc. And then to hear his music up to the present. The man was a genius!
Almost the perfect compilation.......2005-12-31
Age has its value.... This sweeping collection of compositions brings back so many great memories. This collection shows how significant Goldsmith was for both the movie screen and the small screen. With such a grand collection, every reader can be assured that at least one movie or TV program they like or remember had Goldsmith's contribution. It was an amazing life and the collection well worth having.
However, as sweepig as it is, there are a few holes in the selection. "First Contact", one of the sweetest and richest compositions from the Star Trek is absent. "The Ghost and the Darkness" is missing and the "Medicine Man" music should include the theme song. By dwelling on several selections from the Blue Max, these were squeezed out. Three full and important movie themes got the axe.
However, all but "The Ghost and the Darkness" are readily available and not overly expensive as is the "Ghost" CD. This is a must have for the TV and movie music fan.
Before there was Hans Solo there was Napolean Solo, before ER there was Dr. Kildare. Jerry Goldsmith IS Sci-Fi. "Resistance is futile.. you MUST assimilate this CD collection."

It will grow on you and you'll be surprised to what extent.......2006-04-19
This is probably one of my all time favorite albums. I think it's easily Moby's most psychedelic work. It epitomizes what I imagine the rave scene was all about (imagine since I wasn't really a participant back in the day). If you listen to it expecting certain things you might be disappointed. It's raw and kind of elemental in its delivery. On it's surface it might seem simplistic. If you listen long enough you realize, however, that each sound is lovingly chosen, each incongruent rhythm expertly rendered to contribute to an otherworldy, trippy feeling. It's the type of techno I'd want to do a Shamanistic dance to (if I were into that sort of thing).
BEST OF MOBY.......2004-12-29
This C.D is quite the surprise coming from Moby! Used to his weird but funky tunes on c.d's like 18 and Play? This Album definitly is quite different from the other. Its more hardcore, it's more jamming and it's more rumble in the bronx. two thumbs up my man, props
Apprentice Moby.......2003-11-16
The music on this album may not be as complex or as polished as that on 'Moby' but it's a rich seam of early techno-period Moby tracks that you probably haven't heard before. My favourite tracks are Besame and UHF 4 mainly because they have the piano riffs (or whetever they're called) in them. A lot of the tracks could be seen as prequels the tracks on 'Moby' (Go Original Mix is an interesting listen) and Moby's learning curve can be heard when comparing these tracks to the ones on 'Moby'. The bottom line is, if you liked 'Moby' you'll like this.
Excellent.......2003-02-03
I don't see how people can not like this CD. I mean, obviously, you probably don't want to start with this if you've just bought Play or 18 and now you want to venture into Moby's past - if that's what you want, I reccomend you look at Everything Is Wrong. But a prequel to Play this ain't.
What it IS, however, is a bunch of GREAT songs (except for Drug Fits the Face, which is jarring in its irritance), including the original Go (which everyone seems to hate except me), UHF3 (which features great early 90's piano); Voodoo Child, one of my favorite Moby songs of all time, as well as other quirks like Move the Colors, great album opener Besame, Rock the House, and Party Time. M-Four, the last track, is a great album ender. Highly recommended.
