Product Description
Heights of Abraham are Sim Lister, the brains behind 23 Records and once part of the nascent Sheffield scene from the early 80s; vocalist and Lister's old Chakk team-mate Jake Harries; and Steve Cobby, one half of notorious beats & bobs explorers Fila Brazillia and Lister's 23 Records co-conspirator. While they've hardly been twiddling their thumbs, 'Two Thousand and Six', apart from being the first Heights record where everything is under their control, is their first since 'Humidity' (1993) and 'Electric Hush' (1994, re-released on ZTT in 1996). The essence of their previous 'freestyle techno' remains, with fresher focus on accessibility and melody, vocals and more straight song formats. offers Steve. "If anything, we're trying to make a grown up album," offers Steve, "without it being pipe & slippers music. We're still flying the flag for quality and invention, and trying to investigate that massive grey area no-one wants to occupy." There's no denying that Heights of Abraham maximise the conventions of late night tales and 'all-back-to-mine' get-togethers - rivulets of tingling, cyclic keys, soft-top horns and windswept tranquillity. "With chill-out", Steve remarks, "people think you really not meant to listen to it, you put it on as background music. But here, there's a lot to listen to." 'Two Thousand and Six' is therefore a classic, slow-burning soul massage of electric relaxation, continually bobbing between the sticky heat of summer siestas and the nip of the night air. Features 11 tracks including 'Striplight', 'Open Source', 'Western Edge', 'New World City', 'Everybody Knows', 'Intruder' and more. 23. 2005.

5 out of 5 stars Induce Calm With Wings.......2006-02-13

I don't know if a bad 2002 album exists. I own 7 of them, and I have no complaints. I would say that Wings is like Chrysalis, and Chrysalis is amazing. Very very calming stuff. Wings is not my favorite 2002 album, but nonetheless, it is great. Check it out.

5 out of 5 stars WHOA!.......2002-10-20

I've just listened to this album. Heard one tune on a cable muzak station called musicchoice. Sounded good so i ordered the album; and since the sound bites from the others sounded so good, i got those too.THIS IS AMAZING STUFF!!. ...smooth, synth relaxing music with a hint of the "angelic" voices where appropriate. Leave all the hip hop and metal ... for the unwashed and braindead masses, this music rules. You will not be disappointed, go buy it. NOW.

5 out of 5 stars Just let yourself go and enjoy the music!.......2001-09-27

2002 has done it again...I am totally hooked on their superb music. There is such a gentleness and calmness about this CD that just let's you "take WINGS" and fly. I am a Massage Therapist and I have clients that request now that I play this CD...it seems to let them take a deep breath, close their eyes and go to a place of peace and calmness. I highly recommend this CD.

5 out of 5 stars On wings of love and light........2000-10-11

The first time I heard this CD. I thought I died and went to heaven. I felt a profound healing and nurtering taking place. There is something more about this heavenly music that opens the door to your heart. And it gently wispers devine love. Everytime I listen to it I am asured of something wonderfull and magical.

4 out of 5 stars Like finding a lost treasure.......2000-07-05

The re-release of 2002's previous works (Wings and Savitri) by the RealMusic label are welcome additions for 2002 fans. The opening track (Once in Ancient Greece) is a gentle melodic invitation to a relaxing journey through time and space. 2002's trademark ethereal sound is best exemplified by the second track (A Year and A Day). Wings and Feathers (Tracks 7 and 8, respectively) also conjure that other-wordly, almost heavenly quality that defines 2002's music. My only criticism is Track 4 (Icarus), which sounds more like church organ music. Not that there is anything objectionable about church organ music, but Icarus interrupts the flow of an otherwise relaxing and enjoyable CD.

Some might say the title of French Kicks' third album, Two Thousand, is an unintentional reference to all the other New York bands that sound exactly like them. And, yes, while the group did at one point have a predisposition for scrappy punk guitars, off-kilter disco rhythms and strained vocals, this release actually sees it distinguishing itself from its neighbors with a more restrained sound and ambitious vision. There is a distinct '80s influence in songs like "Also Ran," "Cloche," and "No Mean Time," all shimmering guitars and motorized beats. On "Knee High," the band even manages to successfully evoke the sound of early U2 jamming with New Order--a claim few others in their area code can make. --Aidin Vaziri

4 out of 5 stars Instant Classic.......2007-03-25

I never write reviews for anything, but I think this one deserves it. I am a fan of every French Kicks cd, but I honestly think this one is quite possibly their best effort yet. Each track is so original, and they have only gotten better since their last cd. I don't think there are any songs that should be skipped; this is really a great cd - if you like their other albums buy this for sure!

5 out of 5 stars Best of 2006: A great discovery!.......2006-09-20

That's what French Kicks have been for me in 2006: a great discovery, and an act that I am surprised about in terms of how little known they are yet (if you are not sure of that, consider the fact that -as of this writing- there were only two other reviews about this album that came out several months ago).

When I first heard them, Canadians The Arcade Fire came to mind immediately. They have a similar sound, indeed. But it doesn't stop there. Some of those who approach French Kicks also find them to sound like early U2 (specially their guitar sound). What I like most about them is that they don't stick to conventions and they set out to explore their own sound, which sets them apart in today's world of music "sound-alikes".

There's not a single song in "Two Thousand" that is better than the others, but if I were to pick one that I love (one that represents their sound well), it would be "England Just Will Not Let You Recover".

4 out of 5 stars Lovely, dreamy, but unambitious........2006-09-02

A gorgeous album but not a far-reaching or dazzling one. Paradoxical? Not for the French Kicks. I have consistently enjoyed their albums since "One Time Bells" but I always end up skipping some tracks and endlessly repeating others. This one is no different; songs like "So Far We Are", "Knee High" and "Basement DC" overwhelm with their lovely blend of chiming guitars, impeccable rhythm and Nick Stumpf's passionate croon soaring alongside the instruments. But some of the songs, come off as uninflated compared to others and furthermore, stylistically speaking there's nothing here that the Kicks haven't done before. The whole album suffers from a similar lack of ambition. I get the sense that the French Kicks -could- make an album that would catapult them out of the "New York indie rock" niche but they're holding off, holding back, for now. This is a fantastic album for someone who lives the French Kicks as much as I do but sadly it shows them stuck in a holding pattern, though I have higher hopes for their next effort.

5 out of 5 stars yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.......2006-08-02

it's a wonderful dream soundtrack with the ocean and intrigue and scary clowns and michael jackson and exotic lovers. yes - lots of exotic lovers. with shiny guitars. and very white teeth.
the french kicks' best yet, indeed.

5 out of 5 stars Chillout Defined!!.......2006-10-23

The CD - Great album sleve, design and song arrangement. The Afterlife has perfected chillout to its max........strecthing the limits to chord changes, electronic downtempo beats and vocals. Believe me when I say that it took me forever to find and buy this CD. It's a gem!

The music - Great drum and electronic beats. Check out "Dub in ya Mind" and "Blue Bar" on CD01. Rest of the songs are just as good.......which features great female vocals and remixes. I just don't know how to put it - this music is like nothing I've ever heard before - very cool, relaxing and clean. It's almost angelic if you ask me. Please do the chillout/ ambient genre a favour by buying this CD asap!

To sum (CD01)- The use of female vocals are incredible!! Great well composed/arranged beats!! The ultimate in Chillout!!

CD02 pretty much features the same songs but remixed differently. Well, the downside of this whole album would be CD02. It has more uptempo chillout beats which one can find repetitive at times.

To sum (CD02) - Great remixes by Chris Co Co and Arithunda. Great uptempo chill with blissful beats. Not a good companion to CD01 but great sampler.

The Artist - Well, what can I say: The Afterlife rules! Their music is not only inspiring but well put together. Very cool and classy. If you are still unfamiliar with the group - just let me say that I've seen the artist appear in most chillout compilations (mostly in the Ministry of Sound chillout and Cafe Del Mar CD series). This should pretty much tell you how well recieved the Afterlife is. If you are unable to get this album (which is close to impossible), try getting the artist's other albums which are the "Afterlife Lounge", "Speck of Gold" and "Journey" - which are all masterpieces!!

CD good for - 1)Studying, 2)Chilling alone, 3)Chilling with your "lover", 4)Before bed, 5)Writing, 7)Wind and Cheese parties and, 6)Just about anything cool and relaxing!!

OK E-Nuff said - "The Afterlife is the dub master of chill!!"

5 out of 5 stars Where have you been all my life!.......2006-07-01

WOW! This is incredible! The absolute ultimate chill-out/down-tempo album.
This music will get in the mood fast.

5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite albums.......2005-12-06

This review is more just a backing up of someone before who said that they have friends who appreciate music from a wide range of genres asking for copies of the CD. I too play this when people are around and get the same reaction, whehter it's from someone who likes Mushroomhead and all types of hard metal to another who loves Damien Rice and other more acoustic acts. While the people that have asked for this album to be passed on to them are musically open-minded, they are still not usually the type of people you'd expect to listen to chilled music such as Afterlife. Almost every song on the album is great for relaxing to more sophisticated, mature, and smooth sounds. There is nothing abrubt to the album and it is a great addition to any musically intelligent collection.

2 out of 5 stars Just doesn't do it...........2004-09-22

I'm a big Stephane Pompougnac fan, and when I started looking around some of amazon's recommended artists, I came across a whole article on lounge/after hours music, with this CD at the top of its list, so it looked promising. I tried it and found the loops are waaaaay too repetitive, and there is no musical skill here at all; everything is rhythm. I will say disc 2 is better than disc 1. If you sample this album and don't like it much either, try Hotel Costes 4 and 5 for smooth, cool European tones.

5 out of 5 stars Why isn't there more music like this???.......2004-08-26

Yes, it was an adventure, in itself, just to find this!

My Partner suprised me with a copy, just yesterday, and even though I haven't fully given it the time I know I will, it has already intoxicated me, in a way, very few CD's, in their entirety, rarerly succeed!

All I have read, has NOT been hyped words, but the true feelings inspired by AfterLife. And "feeling" is the word that these songs send off, especially vocally, which this genre of music always seems to benefit from.

I bought this album in 1999 and it was my first exposure to 2002. I listened to a sample in a book store and was instantly hooked. After 5 years of listening, this album remains not only one of my favorite 2002 albums, but one of my favorites of my entire collection. Perfect to relax with, read to, etc., 2002 is a music journey not to be missed.

5 out of 5 stars The best 2002 CD so far..........2002-10-24

Follow on the musical journey through a love story that transcends time and space...This CD is absolutely magnificent.. 2002 surely deserves much more recognition in the music world for their contributions! The track 'Descent Into Darkness' is my absolute favorite, it transcends the words I use to describe it. I feel like I'm transported to a far away land... My husband and I greatly enjoy listening to this CD together, it is both romantic and passionate :o) I highly recommend this CD to all, I believe it has something to offer to everyone :o) Enjoy! Peace, Dakota

5 out of 5 stars Luxurious sound.......2001-12-13

How typical this album is with all the others 2002 has put together - glad this artist has brought this music to light in this day and age - so relaxing and restful - own all of his music and difficult to decide which CD to play first - keep up the great music.

5 out of 5 stars A magnificent musical interpretation of endless love........1999-07-12

This is one of the most enchanting musical sagas that engulfs you and transports you to the enchanted time of Savitri. You find yourself lost in the beauty and magic of Savitri. The way the different instruments are woven together gives this creation it's richness and enchantment. Very powerful and moving.

5 out of 5 stars Fine reissue of a classic set.......2006-05-24

Think about the stupidest, most formulaic Hollywood movies you can think of: cheesy action pictures, fluffy, unfunny comedies, big but stiff epics. Now imagine that one of the greatest living composers was working in Hollywood, turning out astonishing, hauntingly beautiful and stirring musical scores for these throwaway movies. That's what you get with this set: music Henry Purcell composed for some two dozen often utterly forgettable plays (trust me--I've read a number of them!) Occasionally, when he teams up with a playwright worthy of his stature, such as John Dryden, Aphra Behn, or William Congreve, the results are even better, but for the most part you can enjoy the music here without knowing anything about the original plays.

This set originally appeared as separate LPs in the 70s and 80s, and has been long out of print. That's a pity, since Purcell spent a good deal of his short professional life in the theatre, either writing the incidental music contained on these CDs, or the music for his larger works, the semi-operas (King Arthur, The Fairy Queen, and the like). Almost all of these works are enjoyable gems; certainly, they represent a pinnacle of English 17th century music. Purcell had a genius for spinning musical gold out of the most leaden lyrics (check out his Odes and Welcome Songs on Hyperion if you don't believe me), and he does the same with the song texts in these plays.

Hogwood and the AAM offer clean, listenable performances, and the sound on these old analog discs has been cleaned up and brightened--although they were pretty good, even in the late 70s. As with most Hogwood, emotional extremes are kept to a minimum, so the "otherworldly" nature of late 17th century music, so often emphasised in more recent Baroque performances, doesn't come across here. It would be interesting to see what a group like The King's Consort would do with this music, but this set fills the major gap in the Purcell canon quite nicely.

My only beef with the reissue, as with many reissues, is that the liner notes are rather thin for a 6-cd set--the lyrics to the songs, for example, are especially missed. Still, it's a worthwhile set, and a must for fans of Purcell, English Baroque music, or anyone who just wants to experience a taste of the last days of the Restoration stage.

4 out of 5 stars An instrument with more than thousand years of existence!.......2006-04-03

In spite of the fact the harp is possibly the oldest musical instrument, its sonorities are unlimited. In the XIX Century, the French and Russian composers took into account it. Curiously, Carl Reineceke showed an unusual interest by it; this historical transition toward the raising Century, where Joaquin Rodrigo a renowned pupil of Paul Dukas, nourished his muse in Los Sones del la Giralda.

But to be honest there has always been a visible contempt about it, and has been relegated as a curtain instrument to remark certain anima states. With the Musical Impressionism many composers seemed to understand the multiple expressive possibilities of the harp, but the effervescence would not last so long.

This is a very selected set that includes some one the most traditional Opus of the harp. Since the lyric and naive Francois Adrian Boldieau ` s concert to the hyper romantic Gliere `s Concerto.

Absolutely recommended for all those who love this instrument. You will additionally find out a very high performance level, along both CD' s.

And considering this bargain price, the temptation is enormous, don' t you?

1 out of 5 stars Found what I was looking for and more!.......2005-09-10

Great CD collection! The volume on the particular track I was looking for was recorded rather low, but otherwise, it is a perfect collection. Some of the other tracks I had not heard and they were magnificent!

4 out of 5 stars Music for Harp.......2000-09-20

Elena Polonska + Harp = Beautiful. When I noted that Elena Polonska performed music from the Middle Ages to the the 20th century on the harp, I knew I had to have this recording. I have heard her play the harp, on other CD's, and listening to her skillful playing is a delight for anyone who enjoys classical music. The other artists were not known to me, so listening to this CD was a chance to become acquainted with some other wonderful harpists, too. I plan to buy this CD for holiday gifts for friends.

    5 out of 5 stars Fabulous American Church Music.......2001-10-25

    Amy Beach had a fine touch with sacred music, as heard here. 'Jesus, My Savior' is a beautiful piano/voice duet that should be in every church soloist's repertory. Her 'Service in A' rates serious consideration as one of the finest American oratorio-sized works from the 20th century, eclipsed only by Bernstein's 'Chichester Psalms' and Lauridsen's 'Lux Aeterna'.

    Mr. Strimple's anthems 'Two from Isaiah' and 'Let This Mind Be In You' are exquisite examples of this art. Brilliantly voiced and solidly musical, they stand with some of the finer English anthems of the early 20th century in texture and concept.

      Nothing interesting. There are many pieces here but I have only enjoyed "The magnificent Seven". As for Mahler's First (included in the disc)...just forget it. It is the worst I have listened to, and I have listen to many....
