Product Description
Kid Carpet is Bristolian prodigy Ed Patrick, a one-man band hauling a shopping trolley full of toy guitars, Casio keyboards, and sticky-tape covered samplers and now, the album Ideas And Oh Dears. A thoroughly entertaining mish-mash of jumble-sale electronica, goofy rapping and resourceful sampling, this is a record that not so much skirts novelty as jumps on it and rams its tongue down its throat. That it holds together at all is entirely down to Patrick's charismatic delivery and idiot-savant intelligence - how else could he get away with singing ''I am a one trick pony'' to the sound of Chesney Hawkes' 'I Am The One And Only'? So, we get a song called 'Green And Pleasant Land', a warmly patriotic number about vodka, Red Bull and a pint of Tetley's pieced together out of Casio snare hits and farmyard noises. We get 'Special' essentially, the Magic Roundabout theme tune with extra swearing. And we get a song called 'Carrier Bag', which is all about how useful (yes) carrier bags are. Is Kid Carpet genius or fool? A listen to Ideas And Oh Dears should confirm that the answer lies somewhere maddeningly in-between. Ideas & Oh Dears has been conjured up in various bedrooms, with the help of car boot sales and junk stores in Bristol. With the use of kids toy instruments, Kid Carpet has created a gem of an album. His spectacular live shows are legendary having supported Badly Drawn Boy, Mylo, Go Team, Arcade Fire & Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players. Tired & Lonesome. 2005.

Album Description

Want My Mommy (Time for Bed)" is the No.1 song XM Kids national satellite radio! In addition, The Movers' debut disc, "Good Ideas," has been named a 2003 Parents' Choice Recommended CD and was named Best Recording for Younger Children by Children's Music Web. Also, "Toothache," a tune about dental hygiene set to an old-school rap beat, garnered a 2003 Great American Song Honor Award and the Caribbean inspired "The Medicine Song" was recently named a finalist in the USA Songwriting Contest. Imagination Movers combine pop, hip-hop, rock and world music with educational themes for kids and their parents. The Movers sing about healthy eating, separation anxiety, sibling rivalry and other topics that relate to being a little kid, but the group's musical style has a decidedly grownup groove. Think Mr.. Rogers meets the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Regardless of how you describe it, Movers music is catchy stuff that parents and children will want to listen to over and over again!

5 out of 5 stars We love it!.......2007-02-19

We love the Imagination Movers! After seeing them on the disney channel, we decided to purchase the cd for our car rides. We all love them, even my husband and I sing the songs! My personal favorite is the song about going to bed.
Great Music!

5 out of 5 stars Great children's music.......2007-01-18

If you are only going to buy one children's music CD, buy this one. My three year old listens to it all the time. It is fun for adults and children alike. It still sounds good even after the 1000th time of hearing it (and you will hear it a 1000 times). The music is very hip, but the lyrics are written from a toddlers point of view. I especially like "The wah wah song", "one more book" and "Shakeable Fruit". Its obviously written by guys with a sense of humor and young children. Pity I can't give it more than five stars - highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2007-01-10

Imagination Movers are great performers and singers. My kids, 2 1/2 and 20 mos, just love their music. Highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars One of my daughters favorite CDs.......2004-11-20

My daughter LOVES this album. Take your medicine and Good Ideas are her favorites. Calms her down in the car everytime. BUY this and every other album they make. They are all great!

5 out of 5 stars Can't rave enough about the Imagination Movers!!!!!!.......2004-09-12

Five stars are not enough to express how much we love the Imagagination Movers (known in our home as the "IM's"). My five-year-old son listens to their music over and over and over, knows all the lyrics, and has memorized which song is which number on the CD. Meanwhile, my 2-year-old daughter is rapidly catching up and sings and dances around the house, in the car, and anytime in between ("Mommy, 'Magination Movahs" she announce when we heard "I Want my Mommy" playing in a children's store recently). As others may have mentioned, the real magic in this CD is ultimately that the musical style of the Imagination Movers appeals to the Mommy and Daddy generation as well, and not only will you be willing to listen again and again with your enthusiastic youngster, but you may find yourself listening on your own one day! Finally, I must also add that my son has decided that instead of being a doctor like Daddy, his life goal now is to become an Imagination Mover. Buy this CD for yourself and many for gifts -- the music is contagious and bound to be a big hit!!!

    Album Description

    Spirited new sounds from across the sea to the shores of the New Land. From the first colonists to the American Revolution and the birth of our republic Hesperus Early Music Ensemble's music reflects a time of new ideas, freedom and vitality. In town and village, parlor and ballroom, from the Appalachians to the great concert halls hear the musical pulse of early American music performed on a wide variety of folk and early music instruments. Includes: lively country-dance tunes, evocative Shape Note Hymns, old time Appalachian fiddle tunes, graceful European parlor music, French cotillions, divisions and improvisations. Introduction -The English Colonies in America were a patchwork-not just of territories whose boundaries became state lines, but of people from different places and classes with widely different values and experiences. This recording presents music from that patchwork; from England, the Colonial homeland; Scotland and Ireland, the homes of the largest groups of immigrants outside England; and France, the ally of the Patriots, and music written in the United States. More recordings by HESPERUS from Maggie's Music are Celtic Roots featuring Scottish fiddler, Bonnie Rideout and Early American Roots. Hesperus Ensemble is THE sought after musical group for period music that is both authentic, and most important fun, lively and spirited. They are frequent performers at the Smithsonian's Institute of American Music and can be heard on the soundtrack or the Paramount film with Johnny Depp entitled Sleepy Hollow! Excerpts from liner notes:2.A Set of English Country Dance Tunes: Maiden Lane, Jack O'Lent, Chestnut, Bonny Broom - The visionary London music publisher John Playford first published his English Dancing Master in 1651. It was reprinted 18 times over the next 77 years and is still popular today. 3. Parting Friends/Primrose - These tunes have come down to us in choral arrangements called shape-note hymns .

    5 out of 5 stars GREAT!.......2007-05-20

    This cd travels everywhere with me and you can easily imagine a ball at Monticello given by Mr. Jefferson when you hear it.
    Try not to daydream too much while driving as i had done several times..lol..it's hard not to with this cd..:)
    Perfect for a colonial reenactment or party.

    5 out of 5 stars A relaxing journey into our Colonial past.......2006-03-16

    I bought this CD to provide me with another dimension to my studies of period events. It truly contains a wealth of music, and takes it place as an important addition to my musical library. Living in the Mt Vernon area, I often travel with the CD playing while visiting historical places, and it provides a wonderful companion to "set the mood" for the myriad locations in the area. The quality of the sound is remarkable, the musicians superb, and the breadth of song selection provides a musical landscape for the period. Highly recommended!!

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!.......2004-03-04

    I first heard the "Colonial America" CD by Hesperus when I visited Monticello recently (the home of Thomas Jefferson) where they were playing the songs in the gift shop. Imagine my dismay to find that only one cassette tape was left of the fabulous music of Hesperus; however, that tape held me spell-bound all the way home, from Virginia to North Carolina.

    It was an incredible journey from the past that has stayed with me since, and every day I drive that one hour back and forth to work. This music has changed everything about the trips, and I can't wait for more.

    Thanks to Amazon.com I was able to buy all three CD's, including "Early American Roots," "Colonial America" and the incredible "Celtic Roots" with the most beautiful violas imaginable.

    Thank you Hesperus! Please play more!

    5 out of 5 stars Cold Mountain type music that's great.......2003-11-15

    Novels and movies like Cold Mountain, Oh Brother Where Art Thou? and Song Catchers are showing the growing interest in traditional music and this recording hits the mark. It is music from the days of early America--the time when the first colonists come to America. You can hear the fiddle playing tunes still popular in the Appalachian mountains today and also hear shape note music arranged by Hesperus as wonderful instrumentals. The music takes you to a time when folks were making music in their homes-before TV, before the internet! This recording is good for teachers or educational purposes too- with informative liner notes. All the music is played on folk and early music instruments and it's lively and an enjoyable listen.

    Album Description

    "Out Beyond Ideas" is a unique collection of songs written to Sacred Poetry by David Wilcox and Nance Pettit. Inspired by ancient mystic poems from many faith traditions, the common theme of love and searching translate into beautiful and thoughtful music. While not a traditional David Wilcox album, fans will find his same soothing and inspirational way of story telling with the added bonus of Nance's beautiful, airy vocals. * Proceeds from the album will go to the Partners In Conflict and Partners In Peacebuilding project at the Center for International Development and Conflict Management-University of Maryland which works with high-risk countries around the world to help them build a sustainable, just and inclusive peace.

    1 out of 5 stars Don't buy if you are a fan of David Wilcox !!!.......2006-07-12

    I saw David in concert a couple of month's ago, and was hooked.
    I love his songs, voice, guitar, timing and the emotion he can put into his voice. I am neither personally religious or spiritual, but I can appreciate music that is, and I thought that David's style would meld beautifully with the songs. Unfortunately this album is more of a vehicle for David's wifes' voice than his, and so I was sorely disappointed. David is very much the background singer. Nancy's voice is O.K. but not anything special and not what I wanted to listen too. Very disappointing CD.
    So, if you want to hear David Wilcox sing, pick a different CD.

    4 out of 5 stars Pop Folk Goes All Rumi on Us.......2006-02-17

    This is a beautiful CD on many levels. Lacking the religous imperialism common to western spiritual music, and free of the nerve racking sound of eastern spiritual music, "Out Beyond Ideas" is able to present mystical poetry in a very musical and accessible way. You can learn all the words and sing along as you drive down the highway. Very uplifting. Call it the "Abbey Road" of spiritual music.

    My only complaint has to do with the mixing. At times (not always) Mr. Wilcox's voice is mixed at the same tone and volume as the music, the result is a muddying of the vocals. This only happens here and there, for the most part, the sound is good, but it could've been a little better. Take half a star off for that and you have a solid 4.5 star CD.

    Hopefully we'll see more CD's of this pop folk meets Rumi type, if they keep making them, I'll keep buying 'em!

    Highly recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars Eloquent, Explosive, Epic. A Wondeful Presentation........2007-05-15

    (Edited from earlier work, copyright 2007 Michael F. Hopkins)

    For the deeply spirited Jay Hoggard, this special album is a
    signature statement in a distinguished career filled with many
    such bright moments.
    This, however, is even more. THE RIGHT PLACE bears the burning
    urgency of a master artist taking charge of his expression, a
    musician of great Faith and touching Joy making the most joyful
    of noises to uplift the heart and the mind. The debut album for
    the vibraphone master's own JHVM Recordings, THE RIGHT PLACE
    sings and swings with gleeful authority bearing a calm, winning
    impact.
    A rhapsodic travelog of the Black aesthetic at its globespanning
    finest, Hoggard and friends weave a potent dance which takes us
    from tropic mist and sprawling veldt, through the challenge of
    urban prance and the finely measured breath of coming Home.

    The malleteer is joined by stalwart colleagues here. The
    multifaceted Dwight Andrews is outstanding on reeds and flute,
    as Belden Bullock on bass provides a splendid discourse in the
    art of finger-talking. Legendary pianist Hilton Ruiz can be
    heard on a delightful tear, as percussion wonder Pheeroan
    AkLaff makes tempo-juggling merry amidst a team of percussion
    wizards (Kwaku Kwaakye Obeng on donna and congas, Asher
    De Lerme on timbales, bata and guiro).
    The ever-ready, always steady James Weidman kindles a hearty
    flame on piano and organ, a persistent excellence which always
    makes his work stand out with conviction. Engineer Alec Head
    delivers the whole sound of this bountiful music with exceptional
    care and heightened grace.

    Through compositional talespinning, playful daring and a determined
    focus which is second to none, the vibraphonist radiates the sheer
    fun and precious need of creativity as a human calling. Too, with
    reflections upon the work of Tito Puente as well as Bobby Hutcherson,
    Hoggard's own nimble malletry strikes resonant summons from the
    marimba, stirring Sun to rise and twilight to prepare devout
    enchantment to fortify the soul..

    JHVM Recordings mark a fresh chapter in the ongoing tale of a great
    artist. SONGS OF SPIRITUAL LOVE and SWING 'EM GATES show
    the malleteer's vision and drive to be as powerful and magnificent
    as ever.
    Meanwhile, from 2003, discover the intimate might and majesty
    of this master musician, and thrill in this landmark statement
    of cultural splendor.

    Enjoy the loving welcome of THE RIGHT PLACE.

    5 out of 5 stars What an excellent two'fer from Les and Larry Elgart!.......2007-07-04

    If you remember American Bandstand, you probably remember "Bandstand Boogie" by Les and Larry Elgart as its theme song. The Elgarts presented a string of succesful big band albums in the 50s and 60s. This collection features renditions of Gershwin tunes, and the classic "Slaughter on Eighth Avenue" recorded in 1958 and 1961. Great sounds of the big bands from the Elgarts!!

    5 out of 5 stars the best experience listening music.......2003-09-23

    how wonderful the les and larry elgart orchestra was!. Iam from Cuba but I live in Spain but at home in Cuba from child I been listening this orchestra for years. How wonderful arrangements!.How wonderful voicings¡(Charlie Albertine for sure). If you want to hear a perfect big band ensemble and enjoy the best recording danceable experience buy this one. It will be the best Sound Ideas forever.......

    Amazon.com

    After years of performing and releasing albums overseas, acclaimed modern flamenco guitarist Vicente Amigo achieves stateside recognition with his release Ciudad de las Ideas. While he is accomplished on the fretboard, Amigo takes a decidedly low-key approach on tracks like "Tres Notas Para Decir te Quiero" (with its soothing falsetto singing) and the solo guitar piece "Bolero de Vicente." Through his style, Amigo is able to flesh out his songs with controlled doses of requisite guitar pyrotechnics. (The syrupy strings and mellow guitar of the title track, however, evoke easy listening.) Not everything here is laid back. Two of the songs--the dramatic "Cordoba" (solea) and the initially languid "La Tarde as Caramelo" (alegrias)--build to dramatic crescendos, while "Tata," the album's most energetic cut, features lively brass and bass and a catchy one-word chorus. There's a smoldering romanticism displayed on Ciudad de las Ideas, and the talented Amigo proves he is in command of mood and tone throughout. --Bryan Reesman

    relative to his fist cd 'de mi corazan al aire' this is not in the same sublime light; but this is very good music non the less. it lack the original spontaneous sound that i know he is capable of, of which there are wispy hints. its as if he is trying to play, instead of letting it FLOW; a delicate art. i hope he returnith to the melodic spontaneous sound that places him right at the top of his art in a realm of his own. my star rating is more based on his own potential rather than comparing it to that of other artists.



    5 out of 5 stars simply great !.......2006-03-17

    This is music to listen to over and over, enjoying the passion, the inspired vocals, and the beauty of the melodies, Simply great guitar work here. I'm a world music fan and don't have background in flamenco. I was first exposed to the artist through music video on the WorldLink satellite channel. I think that two of the works on this album made it to video stage. Now I'm buying all of Vicente's CDs, and enjoy them all. The CD notes and lovely poetry here make it clear that the aritist felt something special with this music, and I feel it too. I can't count how many times I've listened to this. Bonus - this is very calming during intense traffic...its "medicine".

    5 out of 5 stars Haunting and Soulful.......2005-05-23

    Vicente Amigo really gets the job done here. Technically unbelievable, solid compas, intruiging. My son and I were admiring the tune Tata, it is as close to heavy metal as flamenco can go. With the interplay of palmas, guitar and cante, WOW! If you like Paco, you will like this albumn - no, check that, you will love it!

    2 out of 5 stars Corny.......2005-05-17

    I own several flamenco CDs, and "Ciudad de las Ideas" has to be the one I listen to the least. "La Tarde es Caramelo" and "Ojos de la Alhambra" are the only songs on this CD worth listening to. The rest of this CD is painfully corny and boring-- especially the first track, the last track, and the title track. I like Vicente Amigo, but this is his worst album. Most of the songs just don't have the hearty essence of real flamenco. For some good, innovative flamenco, I highly recommend the music of Gerardo Nunez and the albums "Jucal", "Calima", "Andando el Tiempo", and "La Nueva Escuela de la Guitarra Flamenca."

    5 out of 5 stars For all the Don Juans !.......2004-11-02

    Wow, this album really transcends me into some other euphorical world. 'Tres notas para decir te quier' reminds me of someone really special to me, such beautiful melody. Other more somber pieces like the title track showcase this man's immense ability with his guitar. Really, this album has moved me to tears on occassions. I am deeply touched, and humbled by the work of this artist, who feels the soul of his instument, and inspires with his music....

      Thomas Stevens is one of the best modern players putting out recordings. Excellent sound, impeccable technique, and solid style make the album a staple for any collection. The George Antheil Sonata is particularly good, graceful and exciting. The Hans Werner Henze is also worth hearing, and the New Carnival of Venice is interesting and amusing.

      Mixing skater punks and hip hop has always been dangerous, but now they figured out a sense of timing; this spells certain doom for the rest of us. Astronautalis is the kind of rapper who steals the good off of every hip genre in town. Mix three parts indie rock, four parts hip hop, the fattest beats this side if the street, and you have almost come up with astronautalis's ingenius scheme of world domination through music.

      I relly like when you raped at my birthday party! Then we got to listen to your cd seven times. Remember when your friend Sam barfed on my new bike? That was funny and then you freestyle raped about it. Thanks for coming over and selling your cd to all my friends. I hope you get to be on MTV with all the pretty girls and other rapers. Come hang with us when you get back from your tour. This is the best rap album out!

      So once the digital laser needle hits this platter it's like you are transplanted into a mind that speaks so poetic it hurts. Astronautalis brings so much creativity to the table it makes you want to fold under the pressure. At the same time, you feel blessed to witness such an intriguifying (
