5 out of 5 stars Enjoyably 'Inauthentic,' Authentically 1950s Version.......2005-05-14

By rights, this 1955 version of John Gay's much-adapted 1728 'ballad opera' should sound antiquated beyond redemption: the musical version used is Frederick Austin's well-worn, prettified (& verbally expurgated) 1920 arrangement, subjected to the indignity of being blown up from chamber ensemble to full orchestra; Sir Malcolm Sargeant's tempi are impossibly 'inauthentic' (ie. slow); there are numerous cuts even beyond Austin's omissions; & the 2 separate casts, of opera singers & actors, recorded in different months, are not always convincingly 'matched up.' Yet it's one of the most enjoyable recordings I know of.
A quick scan of the cast list(s) will tell you why: the singers include Elsie Morison, John Cameron, Monica Sinclair, Ian Wallace, Owen Brannigan & Alexander Young & the actors Zena Walker, John Neville, Rachel Roberts, Eric Porter & Paul Rogers. In other words, these are top pros & strong audio personalities who grab their every opportunity. The musical performance is sumptuous & sheer pleasure to listen to, the actors & dialogue 'production' brisk, funny & sharper than you might expect. And the sound for both music & dialogue is of demonstration quality, one of the best of the period.
Those who find this version too musically ponderous or dramatically reactionary can find antidotes in the Bare Baroque Basics one by Jeremy Barlow & The Broadside Band (Hyperion), word & note complete, & the radical & often inspired 1948 Benjamin Britten arrangement (complete on Argo, abridged with the original cast on Pearl). They'll be missing some good 50s fun, though.
They'll also be missing the only available excerpts (15 numbers) from Edward German's tuneful 1907 operetta 'Tom Jones.' This really IS 'cleaned up' 18th century, genteel beyond the call of duty, but for those who respond to musical theater of the period, highly recommended. The 1966 recording is lively & accomplished. As Miss Jean Brodie would say, For those who like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing they like. And a good thing too.

          4 out of 5 stars Great CD by One of Bay Area's Best Locals.......2001-06-12

          There was a time when "True To Form" ruled the Bay Area scene. Their combination of old and new school thrash was addictive to anyone who came in contact. Even though True To Form isn't around anymore, and this CD is out of print, it still remains as one of the best Local CDS ever released in the Bay Area. The CD starts off with the incredibly catchy "Determined", and never stops the pace or the melodic riffs. Guitarist/Vocalist Ron Taniguchi' voice is expected for a New School Thrash band, but it does blend extremely well with the rest of the band. Guitarist Steve, is right on target with Ron's guitar work, and at times goes off on his own showing technical, innovative guitar riffs. Bassist Eugene, is downtuned, following the riffs of his fellow mates, and rarely goes off on his own. Which is in turn a bad thing. The spotlight has to be on drummer Kevin Jackson's drum work. Its fast, head-spinning work. I really can't imagine a drummer being this precise and fast. He is definately, no doubt, one of the best in the business. Overall this CD is well done musically. The only gripe I have about it is that the production work, and recording isnt all that great, sounding like they recorded the CD in a bathroom. There are also times that guitars sound teeny and dont really fill the void. Other than that, this CD is recommended as an homage to one of the Bay Area's best. This is CD is out of print, have fun tryin to find it, pick it up if you see it.

          5 out of 5 stars THE metal band for the new millenium!!!.......1999-07-17

          Without a doubt True to Form is THE metal band for the next millenium and beyond. I have downloaded 4 MP3's of tracks from their CD and loved ALL FOUR songs so much i bought the CD simply to show my support. Sure, i could have stuck with owning 4 really great songs, but True to Form is so good..... they are so driving and rhythmicaly spiritual, i just HAD to buy the CD. At least to show my support for GOOD music for a change. Wait, did i say good? i mean GREAT music. Move over Backstreet boys.... on second thought... stay right there... in the middle of the road..... and wait for True to Form to run ya over! These guys kick @$$ like very few ive heard before. so be prepared for a new metal experience. By the way.... like double-bass drums rippin ya from limb to limb? god these guys rule!!! My only prayer at night nowadays is that God will bless us by having True to Form come to Syracuse NY sometime soon.

          5 out of 5 stars True To Form - A Great New Metal Band.......1999-03-23

          I recently downloaded the True To Form mp3 of Face Of Stone and I was very impressed! Just like the band descibes themselfs, they are a combination of Sepultura's and Fear Factory's changing tempos and melodies and Machine Head's tough/heavy metal style. I recomend that if you like any one of those bands, you have to check out True To Form! A musical must have!

            True To Form is a great CD. Mark LaForme did a great job on this one. I just want to say that there is no need for this country musician to compete with today's new style country. He did indeed stay "True To Form". Great job Mr. LaForme!! I can't wait for your next album.
