5 out of 5 stars Reid Speed brings it.......2005-07-23

This is an excellent Drum n' Bass mix. I'm not sure if it deserves 5 out of 5 stars, but I couldn't give it anything less...If you like female vocals over DnB then this is the album for you.

3 out of 5 stars sounds great.... BUT.......2004-02-22

don't get me wrong. i'm not hatin. however, please leave out the diva singers. if i wanted to hear that club-friendly poppish crap i would go to a gay club and listen to whitney houston house remixes while getting stared down by freakishly strange transvestites. i expect the contrary when i want my drum & bass sounds and i tend to agree heavily with the previous reviewer. HOWEVER, the mix between trak 4's "bizarre" by illformats and track 5's "now is the time" by dj abstract is the BADDEST mix i've ever heard in my life (no joke mofo). jeez.. its like the longest mix between 2 records i've ever heard in my life. so i'm not hatin. its an awesome cd. but i would still recommend resonance over this one. and yes! this is definately drum & bass... don't listen to those tech-step loving naysayers. its just alittle more friendly than all the purist are used too.

2 out of 5 stars are you serious?.......2004-02-01

This album does not deserve 5 stars. It seriously lacks......DRUM AND BASS. 5 out of 16 tracks actually fit the genre. The other songs are nothing more than pure dark, twisted, hardcore TECHNO. I would never recommend this cd to another American in hopes they might expand their narrow-minded opinions about music. It has no cross-over appeal, unless of course you like the Pop-club progressive house you hear on your local radio stations. Drum and Bass Cd's should come hard or not at all. Drum and Bass, Thump and Kick. You should feel it hit your chest, consequently causing you to move your feet. It should not inspire you to twirl lights in a frenzy. Do not misunderstand me, the cd is not terrible.....it's just not Drum n' Bass. Check Out Bad Company, Adam F, and/or Dillinja/Lemon D if you wanna hear real DnB.

5 out of 5 stars WOW!!.......2003-09-29

That's all I kept on saying to myself as each track unfolded. Holy crap was another popular one. To me Reid Speed is the best D n' B DJ in the world. She is bringing to the game something that her peers Dara, AK1200, Dieselboy and Goldie are missing, HEART. That's right Reid throws in enough vocals into this mix to keep the listeners attention and make them coming back for more. I would recommend this cd to anyone just getting into drum and bass AND experienced D n B listeners.

5 out of 5 stars top notch :).......2003-09-17

i love dnb but i don't purchase many cd's...
this one was a big surprise to me since Reid Speed is one of my favorite live dj's!!! pounding pounding beats with great progressive programming and some breaks thrown in to keep it interesting... all with a nice female touch!

Here's a disc of 19 familiar and unfamiliar Kurt Weill songs arranged for dance band and played by an expert group of specialists in Roaring Twenties band music. They're led by singer-conductor-composer H.K. Gruber, whose previous recordings include Weill's Die Dreigroschenoper. The result is a start-to-finish delight. From the first notes, you're beamed back in time to one of those sleek transatlantic passenger liners, sitting in an art deco ballroom watching elegant couples in tuxedos and ball-gowns swirl by while the band plays hits from Weill's German and Broadway triumphs. Sure, the venom is leached from the originals, but who needs agitprop when you're on a dance floor? The arrangements are by a variety of hands, hired by Weill's European and American publishers with his approval to get more mileage from his musical theater works. They're delightfully square rhythmically and formulaic in transferring Weill's music to conventional dance bands, but the music still holds up and is fun to hear in its new clothes. A special treat is the eight tracks with Max Raabe, whose light tenor and falsetto singing preserve the spirit of Weill's songs, as well as perfectly mimic the boy band singers of times gone by. --Dan Davis

5 out of 5 stars SAIL ON, KURT!.......2006-04-23

I wouldn't take offence here oh, Weill purists! These reconstructions are charming and harmonically reverent to their originals, more than could be said for many versions of the Weill Songbook through the decades, including Lou Reed's friendly `adaptation' of the September Song's chord progression and melodic line!

Shoenberg and Webern expressed their disdain of Weill's music; curiously, Arnold had also disclosed a secret wish of having his own audiences walk back home "whistling his tunes", oh, don't ask why... You can certainly whistle, hum and sway your partner now, as the transatlantic's bouncy dancehall sails on just as Kurt, Lotte and the lot of them did when escaping the lethal hounds of early 30s Berlin.... the-next-little-dollar bound.

5 out of 5 stars Not at All Vile Weill.......2001-08-13

The ever versatile HK Gruber has done it again digging up these gorgeous dance arrangements for Weill's music--proving, if anything, Weill's versatility. Anyone familiar with the Capriccio historical Weill recordings will be aware of the long tradition of dance bands taking Weill's music as the lead for dance music or pop music incarnations (all the way up through the more obvious appropriations familiar to Americans: Mack the Knife and September Song). Hardly MUZAK arrangements (listen to the delicate violin in track 17's "What Good Would the Moon Be" to hear what I mean), this generous helping of 19 songs offers a chance to see Weill through a delightfully different but entirely compatible lens. Max Raabe provides the ideal vocal compliment on 8 of the tracks, his tenor floating effortlessly into his head voice suggesting a "period" sound reminiscent of Bing Crosby. The import title for this disc is "Charming Weill," and that modest adjective expresses the least of its virtues.

2 out of 5 stars ELEVATOR MUSIC.......2001-05-23

This is a very strange CD: why would anyone want to take the quirky rhythms and melodies of the great Kurt Weill and "tame" them into dance arrangements? Certainly one has listened to (& even perhaps admired) dance arrangements of composers from Victor Herbert to Cole Porter to Jerry Herman, but these are all, if you will, main stream composers-- men whose music sounds good in original Broadway or Hollywood arrangements and just as good (or almost as good) as played by a dance band...think "Begin The Beguine" as done by Fred Astaire on film or "Begin The Beguine" done by Jo Stafford with the Paul Weston Orchestra.

But Weill was an innovator: a man who can still be listened to experiencing the thrill of something fresh and new. One immediately thinks of his collaborations with Bertolt Brecht in Germany: "Threepenny Opera" and "The Rise & Fall Of The City of Mahagonny" or "The Seven Deadly Sins", etc. his American opera, "Street Scene" with Langston Hughes or his American musical plays: "One Touch of Venus" with Ogden Nash or "Love Life" with Alan Jay Lerner, etc. The songs on this CD all deserve great recordings from the "Alabama Song" to "September Song" but they turn into a kind of flattened elevator music instead of having fresh interpretations or even more traditional ones. What happens is that the longing in "What Good Would the Moon Be" and the romance of "Speak Low" and the raucousness of "Bilbao Song" are all much too similar and much too easy.

It's a little weird to think of husbands whispering to their wives," Listen, honey, they're playing 'As You Make Your Bed' from "Mahagonny".........let's fox trot!"

while i prefer other offerings more so in these sets this is a another pretty smooth set.it has songs from a few decades here that were felt during the particular time period.like with the other sets they are focused on Romance¬ Presented in a trashy fashion like so much of the Slow jams are nowadays.it's atime&place for everything.
