5 out of 5 stars Delicious!.......2002-02-12

I love this CD. Laurel Masse has a remarkable voice which she uses with great expertise on this collection of beautifully performed and arranged songs. Listening to this collection is a very special experience you won't want to miss.

5 out of 5 stars Yes -- they still make great albums.......2002-01-19

I collect a great deal of music, and this album is superb. Mixing genuine spiritual intensity with unmatched musicality, this musical experience is beyond compare. There is not a weak moment, and it includes possibly the best recording of "Motherless Child" I've heard. A must have.

5 out of 5 stars A Dignified and Welcome Contribution to Spiritual Music!.......2001-10-22

Those of us who adore spiritual albums are very lucky that one of the founding members of the Manhattan Transfer has decided to turn her talents to a cause that interests us so!

In this album, Laurel Masse baptizes an old music hall with her GORGEOUS voice and spiritual impromptu songs that spill right from her beating heart.

Some of my favorite pieces on the album were "Radiant Flame of Gold", a very powerful safety/comfort chant embracing either "Saint Brigit" or "the Goddess, Brigit" depending on your religion. I also enjoyed "The Mountainy Singer" which is just a lively, spirited, catchy tune. And her improvisational pieces are absolutely divine.

I'm very into voices, and this is a STRONGLY voice-centered album, so let me try to describe her voice in case it's helpful to anyone. Her singing style is NOT opera on most pieces. It's a Streisand-like voice, very clear and powerful with only light vibrato. It'll draw you in on the very first song and make you wish you could sing like that!

I'm glad she made this album and I would recommend it to others who like very dignified spiritual music.

5 out of 5 stars An amazing piece of work!.......2001-06-18

This CD is truly amazing. What a gift! Laurel Masse's willingness to expand her musical horizons has brought forth an astoundingly varied and beautiful piece of work. From the opening notes of the Quaker hymn "How Can I Keep From Singing?" to the closing track, "Lone Wild Bird/MacIntosh's Lament," this ia multi-layered, richly hued CD filled with intensity and heart. The range of selections alone defies classification, and the beauty with which she infuses these songs is thrilling. This is not "background music"--like all true art, "Feather and Bone" challenges your senses...and, eventually, opens your heart and mind. Thank you, Laurel, for following your own sacred heart as an artist, and taking your audience along on the journey.

5 out of 5 stars Great compilation.......2004-12-19

This is a great compilation of club/dance/electronica songs of the past few years. A lot better than a lot of the recycled garbage that appears on the Greatest Ibiza Dance Hits Albums and the ilk. The opening track Rapture by Iio is one of my favorite clubbing songs of all time. The first and second CD's are my favorites, while the third has a few good tracks, but mostly sounds the same. Also featured are Modjo "Lady Hear Me Tonight", another great single, Madison Avenue "Don't Call Me Baby", "The Launch", "Zombie Nation", definitely a must have if you are a big dance/club music fan. Just pop the CD in and you have your own personal club playlist ready to go.

    5 out of 5 stars Don't overlook this!.......2005-06-07

    William Lloyd Webber (1914-1982) was the father of Andrew and Julian Lloyd Weber. It's clear that musical ability ran/runs in that lineage!

    As usual, Hyperion has released a well-performed and well-recorded CD. And the various works provide a very reasonable cross-section of this unsung composer's range and talent. According to the liner notes, William Lloyd Webber's "most prolific period as a composer was roughly the decade following the Second World War." The booklet likens his style to that of Delius and the French school. It is truly superb music meriting greater critical and public attention!

              Album Description

              This very special holiday recording is composed entirely of animal sounds. Some you'll recognize as the natural animal voices themselves. Others may sound like instruments, but they are actually digitally transformed animal sounds. Wild Sanctuary invites you to enjoy a truly unique celebration of both the wild kingdom and holiday spirit.

              5 out of 5 stars Quirky, funny, for animal lovers.......2002-12-02

              When I saw this item while browsing on Amazon, I thought the idea of this collection was pretty funny and just had to buy it.

              I am happy to report that I love this CD! The music is soft and beautiful, much like the musak that one hears in an elevator or as background music in stores. Actually it would make great music to play in stores during the holiday timesýespecially in stores catering to animals, pet stores, nature stores, or health food stores.

              It seems to me that sometimes the animalýs sound was programmed into a keyboard and then the keyboard is played like a piano. These parts donýt sound at all like animals, they sound like beautiful music. Other times you can hear the call of the whales or dolphins, or even a dog barking sound or what seems to be a parrot talking voice and it is obvious that what we are listening to is the sound of animals.

              This is fun to listen to as background music when you want to listen to holiday tunes but are sick of the same old tracks with vocals, and want something quirky with a sense of humor rather than a classical piece. The music is calming, serene and beautiful. It is not obnoxious or set to a fast beat.

              My children love this as do I. Animal lovers, naturalists, or those with a good sense of humor will really enjoy this collection!

              5 out of 5 stars from Solo Piano Publications.......2001-11-13

              A parrot singing lead on "Deck the Halls"? Dolphins on keyboards? Bats on bells? Chimps doing a pizzicato cello line? All this and much more are captured on this extraordinary collaboration by Bernie Krause, who recorded the animal sounds from around the world and composer/pianist Philip Aaberg, who added some sampled animal sounds, arranged the Christmas music, and played the sampled sounds on keyboard. Many of the animal "voices" are easy to recognize, but others sound like actual instruments. Both novel and musically sound, this is a fascinating accomplishment on many levels. Many "novelty" recordings wear thin after listening to them a few times, but Aaberg did an excellent job with the arrangements, and I think people would really enjoy this album if they didn't know that ALL of the sounds are animals rather than more traditional instruments. "Silent Night", "Sheep May Safely Graze" and "Shepherd's Rocking Carol" are gorgeous, and would fit into many traditional Christmas recordings. "Deck the Halls" and "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" are funny, truly making a "joyful noise". "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is a grand finale , with fourteen different animals and birds extending their greetings. This is Christmas album for those who like their holiday music different from Johnny Mathis and the usual array of pop stars, young and old, singing the same old tunes. Great stuff!

              5 out of 5 stars This music makes me wildly happy -- it's SO WONDERFUL!.......1999-12-10

              The holiday music on this disk, composed entirely from animal sounds, seems "gimmicky" and to be honest that is what attracted me to it, because I love that stuff! But I've got my headphones on at work, it's December - I'm revving up for the holidays - and I'm struck by the wonderful emotions it's evoking for me! First, the holiday melodies are very witty and creatively composed and are a joy to hum along with - secondly, the true artistry of the production and subtle use of amazingly clear animal voices is astounding! It takes me back to all of my walks through the woods (alas, I've never heard a monkey in the jungle, but I bet it would sound like it is heard here) or hanging out by the lake listening to the birds... I gave this disk 5 stars because I encourage you to try it -- I know you'll love it! I'd like to thank Phil and Bernie for composing this great disk! Happy holidays . (P.S. My favorite track is #6: Shepherd's Rocking Carol... wow!)

              5 out of 5 stars You might think this is too cheesy-christmas stuff but..........1999-12-02

              PUT YOUR HEADPHONES ON AND LISTEN TO THIS THING! it's too cool, there are all kinds of animals mixed in there somewhere and making all kinda music. sometimes just animal noise. And the choice of Christmas music is great, some regular oldies with new twists and some lesser known sweet songs.

              it's great.

              5 out of 5 stars Melodic chorus of animal friends.......1999-11-12

              This collection is amazing - every single sound on it is made by an animal! I am completely awed that someone could take whale songs, sheep bleats, bird trilling, and other assorted sounds and create recognizable Christmas carols. I think this one's great for the kids - there is the occasional dog bark that amuses - but it's oddly soothing at the same time. Definitely different, strangely comforting and very sweet music.
