5 out of 5 stars A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

5 out of 5 stars Cruise Muzak For Drug Addled Hedonists!.......2006-02-24

This is not a music album per se, but if you have an open mind about music operating as aural art form then this will be right up your alley. Fans of Alva Noto, Boards Of Canada, Naut Humon and various turntable deconstructionists will seem to get a kick out of it. The songs themselves cover a wide array of sonic styles from ambient,comedy, dub, isolationism, scratch composition and even a full infomercial is featured. God Is An Excuse is one of the best albums ever conceived. Too bad the album is out of print due to the label going the way of the brontosaurus. someone should re-issue both albums.

1 out of 5 stars WHAT WERE YOU GUYS THINKING???.......2005-07-01

Brain,Ler,I love you guys to death but come on! By listening to this CD, you can tell that they had put no effort into thier music by not exposing any of thier talent. All the primus fans would know what I'm talking about. These guys have a lot of skill, and unfortunately, non of it was portrayed in this album.

1 out of 5 stars God is an Excuse is Inexcuseable!!!!!.......2002-09-12

I really wanted this album to be a great new addition to my Primus and friends record collection but it won't be in my house longer than it takes to sell it on ebay. Primus is my favorite band!! Les's Frog Brigade I think is the coolest!! I guess without Les Claypool these guys just forgot how to make music or even how to play their instruments because when I sat down and cranked this album up the only thing I could think was I must find the nearest ocean and throw this one to the fishes. Not one ounce of musicianship in this Inexcuseable production. Sorry guys but give Les a call on the phone and mabye he can give you a few ideas on how to write a melody and how to use a mixing board. I wish I wasn't so hard on them but come on this blows hard!

5 out of 5 stars You are my sunshine..........2002-08-04

The very first time I heard this CD, I went into an Anaphalactic Shock. The second time I heard it, it made me very nervous. The third time I heard it, I was thanking the Lord, Jesus Christ, for allowing these boys to find each other in a world as cluttered with poison and hopelessness as ours. The ambience created by this music is moist and choking, but if you simply sit back, relax, and let "God Is an Excuse" take over, you'll be transported through a wormhole to a land where peace is found in obscurity and love is found in sound bites of old San Francisco Forty Niner games. This is true "antipop" and anyone who appreciates the beauty of noise manipulation will find this to be very novocaine like. While you're at it, go ahead and give "Lee's Oriental Massage" a listen, it'll make you cry.

4 out of 5 stars Crazy!!!.......2002-03-05

Well first of all it is not the kind of music you'd expect to hear from these guys (for those who know primus). I don't know anything about raves since i've never been to one, but it seems to me that this is the perfect music for kids on ecstasy. Its great... blew my mind away.

    Customer Reviews:

    5 out of 5 stars Too beautiful for words.......2004-05-25

    If Julian Bream's recordings were letters, his would all be hand written rather than typed.

    5 out of 5 stars Guitar History.......2004-02-15

    Julian Bream not only plays the guitar, and the lute
    (although purists and I suspect Bream himself would say rather unconventionally), but most of all, Bream plays MUSIC. This is very, very important. There are many fine guitarists around today, but I doubt any could match Bream's sheer musicality when these recordings were made.
    This 28 CD box set is a lesson in music making, regardless of what instrument is being played. The recordings are the complete RCA Bream catalogue from 1959 to 1989. If you can find the complete box set or even any of the individual volumes, I suggest you make the purchase. (Shame on RCA and BMG for not keeping this box set and "all" the individual volumes in print.)
    Some of the higlights of Breams remarkable talent are his
    interpretations of Britten's "Nocturnal", Walton's "Five Bagatelles", the instrumental and vocal works (with tenor Peter Pears) of Dowland, the "first" complete guitar works of Villa-Lobos, a thorough history of the guitar in Spain from the Renaissance to the Present on period instruments, plus all the works that have become classical guitar standards by Bach, Sor, Giuliani, Albeniz, Rodrigo, plus the "new" standards by Brouwer, Arnold, Berkeley, Britten, Walton, etc.
    Music making of this caliber is rare indeed. Buy it if you can find it. Good Luck !

    5 out of 5 stars Best deal there is!.......2002-05-06

    If you can find this set buy it fast. There are not to many of these left out there. This has it all. Plus Julian Bream is the greatest guitarist of all time.

    5 out of 5 stars Most excellent.......2001-08-18

    This a an wonderful collection of Julian Bream. He is the master of master . I always admire his talent as a genius of this centure.

    5 out of 5 stars Julian Bream, The Genius.......1999-01-09

    Who don't want to have a wonderful classical guitar collection? Well, this pack consists in 28 CDs, more than 1.000 minutes of music, distribuited by different titles as Baroque Guitar, Spanish Guitar, etc. Some highlights are here, like Asturias, Fernando Sor variations on Mozart's Magic Flute, Paganini Grand Sonata, all Preludes and Etudes of Villa-Lobos, and, well, lots of really good things. Also, there are some cds Julian Bream plays Guitar with Orchestra, or with Harpsichords. Ah, he plays lute in some too. Unfortunately, there are 2 or 3 cds where a tenor sings and another which a woman says some poems, and those, in my opinion, are not very nice. So, it's a good collection, and if you can, buy it!!
