"one of rock's best new bands" --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Product Description
An epic combination of brilliant song-writing, soaring rock dynamics and razor-sharp dance grooves, "Night On Fire" is the much-anticipated new album from Louisville's VHS OR BETA. The follow up to their critically-acclaimed debut "Le Funk," Night On Fire evokes traces of the Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen, Daft Punk and Underworld, taking the best elements of the past and blazing a path into the future. Co-produced by Adam Dorn (Mocean Worker). --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

3 out of 5 stars Some great songs..........2006-08-23

If you love their single, "Night on Fire", you'll probably like a few other songs on the album as well. The album is very upbeat, almost in a bubble gum kind of way. It's a bit sweep for me. But if you like dance rhythms and energetic music, this could be right for you. I just don't find myself reaching for it very often. I probably should have bought the single and stuck with that.

4 out of 5 stars One of my favorite electroclash albums - this is VERY catchy (and mostly interesting lyrically) - you'll like it!.......2006-01-05

VHS Or Beta is probably my favorite album in the electroclash genre (not that that's saying much - there aren't many good albums in this genre yet - Cut Copy's "Bright Like Neon Love" is also very good although I'm not 100% sure if it's considered electroclash). Every song is catchy and interesting, and the singer is pretty good for the band's style (he's Asian but sure doesn't sound like it!). If there's any song you've heard off this album it's probably "Night On Fire" as it has a music video and is an underground hit (it was on a "Urban Outfitters" mix CD!). Musically the songs are distinctly 80's and electroclash. The only "bad" track here is the last one, "Irreversible". It also loses its catchy momentum during the last half, but they're still all good. I wouldn't call this a classic (for its lack of a "wow" factor and the singer - he's not all that great and likable), but you'll still probably enjoy it. If you like 80's rock or electroclash, though, you will most definitely enjoy this album! Recommended!

Highlights include:
everything except for "Irreversible"

4 out of 5 stars The Cure of the New Generation.......2005-12-06

Although i was introduced to VHS or Beta because of their remixed songs, i must admit that they are a truly awesome band. Reminds me of The Cure during the 80's. Cannot pick a favourite track but "You Got Me" and "Nightwaves" are up there. I also saw them in concert during Bang! down in Miami and they are very good. Check them out!!!

5 out of 5 stars New 80's.......2005-08-20

It is like updated 80's music, but not the same updated 80's that other bands are doing. I like their one foot in dance music and one foot in rock music. I like the whole CD including the instrumentals some others seem to not like, especially "Irreversable" and "Forever".

Now let us talk about the song "Alive". I can't believe it hasn't gotten more fave mentions. I can't stop listening to it at all. Very hooky and a fabulous guilty pleasure. I make no apologies for being madly in love with that song.

When I first heard them I thought of The Cure (who I have also been listening to a lot lately). Music evokes Duran Duran/Daft Punk/The Cure. I am not saying anything new here that everyone else hasn't already mentioned. So get out there and crank the song "Alive" to the loudest volume possible.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent retro-80s sound remade for the 21st century.......2005-08-07

This is VHS or Beta's second album, and even though it's been out almost a year (released September, 2004), the band is still out there touring in support of this album, finding new fans every day. I am one of those.

"Night on Fire" (10 tracks, 52 min.) starts of with the title track, and the second you hear the lead singer, you think, "wow, has Simon Lebon joined VHS or Beta"? In fact, the first 2 tracks have an overall "Duran Duran" feel to it, and would fit in very nicely next to "Girls on Film". After that, the band sounds much more distinct (albeit it still inviting comparisons). There are several instrumentals and almost-instrumentals on here that are among the best tracks on the album: "Forever" is hypnotic behind the "Forever on my own" chorus; "Nightwaves" is full of energy; and the best is saved for last: the closer "Irreversible" is a 9 min. instrumental blowout that synthesizes the band's sound perfectly. I find myself playing that track more than any other.

I saw VHS or Beta in concert not long ago. Live they rock out, and make even the wallflowers in the audience dance along, you just can't resist it. If you have a chance to see them, doooo eet.

Everybody's favorite precocious sprite of a soprano comes out with her third album in Dream a Dream. It's only been two years since Charlotte Church's smash debut, Voice of an Angel, but that's a big chunk of the Welsh singer's life span so far. This latest is basically a Christmas album, so full of festive cheer you'd never guess it was recorded in the summer. Even the glummest of moods will disappear when you hear Charlotte's infectious take on chestnuts such as "Winter Wonderland" and "Little Drummer Boy" (and having the London Symphony Orchestra as your backup band doesn't hurt either). And on top of that is a really special treat: the title song (borrowing an unforgettable classical melody) which blends Church's soaring vocals with the tender voice of young country prodigy Billy Gilman. --Sarah Chin

this cd is pure magic...almost 20 great christmas songs on one cd sung by the voice of an angel herself..there may be a few mixed reviews by some people who must be opera voice teachers because there is nothing wrong with this cd...it is flawless....charlotte's soaring vocals, the beautiful orchestra and background singers, the whole cd has the christmas feel to it..."o come all ye faithfull" has to be heard to be believed...it is breathtaking...i love charlottes take on "winter wonderland" and "ding dong merrily on high" ..made me want to go dance in the snow or something.....she hits every note beautifully..buy this cd...i bought it back in 2000 and have listened to it at every Christmastime since or Christmas doesnt feel the same.

5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous! .......2005-12-07

Charlotte Church has done it again! She is extremely talented. Even if she was 25 when she put this out, she'd be amazing. But she was only 14-15 years old when she recorded this! Beautiful. This album has great choral accompaniments and fabulous orchestra arrangements. It is a little on the high side in certain songs, but it still sounds amazing. I love her voice.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sets the tone for what Christmas albums should sound like, and Joy to the World upholds their exacting standard of excellence. Re-released from two concerts recorded in 1970 and 1977 and repacked with three bonus tracks, this collection is as perfect as it gets, thanks to pristine production, gorgeous vocal arrangements, and stately accompaniment by the Philadelphia Brass Ensemble, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra. This record will set the mood for reveling, both with more contemporary carols, like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "The Christmas Song," and sacred numbers, such as Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" and "O Holy Night." Joy to the World qualifies as an essential yuletide album. --Jaan Uhelszki

5 out of 5 stars A Timeless Christmas Classic.......2003-12-08

I'm a lover of traditional Christmas music and I've acquired about 20 CDs of it. There's nothing my family likes better in December than putting on some good Christmas music and getting in the mood for the season, hearing once again the old favorites you've known since childhood. Of all the Christmas music CDs I've tried, I have two desert-island favorites, the two I always reach for first. This is one of them. I think it's one of the greatest recordings of traditional Christmas music ever made. The arrangements (by Arthur Harris) are joyous, beautiful, and soul-stirring; the performances are heartfelt and magnificent. If you can listen to this CD and not feel filled by the Christmas spirit, you must be (a) named Ebeneezer Scrooge, or (b) deaf. This one is a timeless Christmas classic, not to be missed. Warmest recommendation.

3 out of 5 stars Amazing skills, yet too busy for listening enjoyment.......2006-12-13

I can't believe how well John Bayless has mastered the piano. This is very obvious from the first song that you ever hear him play. I'd really like to watch him play in concert. However, the songs on this album are too much work for me to listen to. The music is so busy that I can hardly concentrate on the melody and it hardly gives me the peace I expect from traditional Christmas music. Some of my favorites for this category are Jim Brickman, David Huntsinger, and Tim Janis.

5 out of 5 stars John Bayless Christmas Rhapsody.......2006-02-13

Christmas Rhapsody has quickly become one of our all time favorite Chistmas CDs. We love it so much that it is February 10th and we are still listening to it.

5 out of 5 stars best concert pianist in the world.......2005-08-18

John Bayless is the best concert pianist in the world. This album shows his genuis. Perfect music to listen to any time of the year.
This is the best Christmas album on the market.

5 out of 5 stars My favorite of the season.......2004-12-31

This is the holiday music I have listened to throughout the season, and it is so beautiful I cannot bear to put it away yet. I love Bayless's work at any time, and these arrangements simply take my breath away. His blending of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" with "Going Home" from the New World Symphony is particulary poignant. And his signature "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring/Amazing Grace" is seasonless and timeless. Christmas is over, but get this anyway; it's wonderful.

5 out of 5 stars Best Piano Christmas CD ever!.......2004-12-15

David Lanz? Jim Brickman? John Tesh? Move over guys... John Bayless has done what no others could... Taken the xmas classics to a new level of musical enjoyment! By combining the songs together, and making them so rich and full of life, this will be my favorite Christmas CD for a looooooooooong time.

3 out of 5 stars An aging Ormandy has lost his zest.......2006-08-19

Even at his peak Ormandy never made the blood race. His aesthetic didn't allow music to break out of a mold that was shapely, lush, and careful. But in old age the conductor's energy considerably flagged, and RCA got a bad deal when they signed him up just before he died. Here the Philadelphia Orch. steps into Boston Pops territory, but technically they sound miles ahead of their northern counterparts. There's nothing to point out that's better or worse than anything else.

I'd say the chief value of this pops collection is the fine recorded sound and the appeal to young listeners getting their first taste--as we all did-- of chestnuts like the Sorcerer's Apprentice and Danse Macabre.

5 out of 5 stars Fanstastic? Oh yes! indeed!!.......2002-12-24

No excessive motion, no exaggerated sound effect, just steadily well-balanced performance. This is the way Ormandy has always been towards his recording. Nevertheless, sound quality is superme, bold and full of layer.

This album, seemingly designed to appetite the followers of "The Glorious Sound of Philadelphia" like the delighted dessert over the dinner. Amusing and joyful. Instead of giving you a blast of your mind, Ormandy let the music played just by the way it should sound. Simply enjoying and easy listening. Like the sun shine over the meadow.

Personally, I enjoy every title in this CD. Highly recommend: Danse macabre, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, España, rhapsody for orchestra, Night on Bald Mountain & Ritual Fire Dance

3 out of 5 stars Ormandy and Philadelphia Going Through the Motions.......2002-08-06

An Ormandy critic once wrote: "Ormandy was basically a good, reliable musician who cultivated an orchestral sound that served all music in the same routine, uniform way." While this statement is prima facie untrue, one wouldn't know it from listening to this latest entry in BMG's "High Performance" series (RCA's new audiophile series of recordings from the late 1960's through the late-'70's, early-'80's, akin to RCA's "Living Stereo" series of recordings from the 1950's - 1960's).

Despite my ardor for the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy (please, God, gave us from Sawallisch!), during a period of time in the early 1970's, there were a number of his performances which I find fall below his usual high standards (especially the RCA Red Seal releases of Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony [I much prefer the Columbia Masterworks 1959 recording] and Swan Lake excerpts). These recordings have the beautiful tonal sheen typical of the "Philadelphia Sound," but Ormandy's tempo is painfully dragging; it sounds as though he's on valium in these recordings.

The Fantastic Philadelphians falls within the same company; These are showpieces, but I couldn't detect any of the fire that
Ormandy lent to other recordings from this era (particularly his 1968 recording of Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony and his 1973 recording of Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony). The sound is gorgeous, but the pacing so slow that it sounds as though Ormandy doesn't care about these pieces, as though he's just trying to get through the recording sessions.

However, there is a glimpse of Ormandy's incendiary potential in the Russian Sailors' Dance and Hungarian Dance No. 5, but instead of a raging flame, all that's there is the pilot light. With all of the excellent unavailable Ormandy recordings out there, I do not understand why BMG chose to release this disc as their first Ormandy entry in the "High Performance" series. I would have much preferred to have seen them release his 1978 recording (the first digital recording made by RCA) of Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra or all of the Sibelius recordings languishing in BMG vaults (especially Symphony No. 7 [1975] and Tapiola [1976]) or his peerless recording of Dvorak's Eighth Symphony (1977). But, then again, BMG's neglect of Ormandy is documented and endemic. For example: BMG has released his recordings of Sibelius' First (1978) and Fifth (1975) Symphonies, both tremendously subtle and profound recordings, but not in North America. They are only out on their European "RCA Classical Navigator" series, and I had to order the CD from an online British store.

Back to this disc: If what you want is to hear great classical showpieces, beautifully recorded and played, to hear as
background music, then buy this disc -- it is not without merit. But if you want to *actively* listen to these pieces, skip this one; Ormandy and the Philadelphians are on auto-pilot on this one.

5 out of 5 stars Ormandy At A Late-Era Peak.......2002-05-11

This CD is a compilation of sorts--a recording of personal orchestral favorites that the Philadelphia Orchestra and its legendary music director Eugene Ormandy made in 1971 and 1972 for RCA.

While the eleven works on the CD are often thought of as "pops stables" or "musical bon-bons", Ormandy and his orchestra nevertheless displayed a great deal of professionalism in giving these works a great deal of new energy. Of particular note are the three works--Mussorgsky's "Night On Bald Mountain"; Ponchielli's "Dance Of The Hours"; and Dukas' "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"--which the orchestra performed under Leopold Stokowski in 1940 for Disney's classic movie FANTASIA. Ormandy breathes new life into these orchestral warhorses. The performance of Saint-Saens' ghoulish "Danse Macabre" is appropriately spooky. And the much-covered "Dance Of The Comedians" by Smetana, and Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 5 are also pulled off brilliantly. This is Ormandy at his late-era peak, and is essential to understanding how he bought this orchestra to the position as one of the world's best, a standing it has held ever since FANTASIA.

5 out of 5 stars Fun!.......2001-03-15

Ormandy and the Philadelphians--who are truly fantastic in these performances--give the listener an aural and musical treat.

Many of these performances are superlative, and the engineering is excellent. While Ormandy could let his players get a little sloppy when he was recording for RCA, such is not the case here.

Danse Macabre is wonderfully well done, but the other Saint-Saens item, Bacchanale from Samson and Deliah, has one of the most overwhelming climaxes I've ever heard.

Espana seems to be the one item that isn't totally successful, IMHO, but not unsatisfying either. On the other hand, the Sorcerer's Apprentice is very well done, as is the Night on Bald Mountain (although here a little more roughness is called for).

The Philadelphia violas really let you luxuriate in the de Falla and the Gliere. And what a delight to have some other bon-bons, especially the Dances of the Comedians and Hours.

Worth every penny!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars I can name that tune in three notes.......2005-02-19

My family likes to put this disc in on shuffle and play name that tune. I wish they made more discs like this, only with more obscure works.

5 out of 5 stars A Fabulous CD.......2004-10-14

The Idiot's Guide to Calssical Music is an awesome Cd for those people who want to have a tiny sample of all the great classical compositions. Track 61 and 63 are my favorite.

5 out of 5 stars Mega-Sampler! This really does have 99 tracks!.......2002-03-20

Yes, this CD really does have 99 tracks. How do they do it? Each is about a minuet long. Some are longer, some are shorter, but you get the micro-essential moments of the music.

If you like burning your own CDs, then this is a great source for intra-track fillers, along the lines of They Might Be Giants' "Apollo 18" album, which has all of those short tracks on the end. The idea is to put your CD player on shuffle, so the short tracks get mixed in with the bona fide songs. The result being a very unusual album.

The booklet gives an explanation of the track, where you heard it (i.e. the Warner Brother's Cartoons, or on famous films), and where you can get the full piece of music. So it's a mega sampler CD.

I can honestly say that this CD is a great gift for the friend who has everything.

5 out of 5 stars Fun Sampler.......2001-11-09

For the beginner. You will be surprised at how many of the 99 themes you recognize here. It is an easy introduction to classical music. Nice booklet too.

5 out of 5 stars Useful........1999-03-22

Take it for what it is, a clever and useful GUIDE to classical music. No, it is NOT an uncut rendition of Beethoven's 9th symphony. It IS a cd that will jog your memory. You have heard many of the tunes presented here, but not always knowing what the work was. This is your chance to catch up with all the great classical music you have been exposed to. Cheap too.

2 out of 5 stars It's only snippets of the music!.......2006-02-12

This CD only contains 30-60 second long snippets of each of the pieces. It could be a teaching tool but is not something you can just put on to listen. It does contain reference to popular TV and Film works that contain the music.

5 out of 5 stars Most Beautiful Baritone in America today.......2007-02-08

This is just gordeous. Jim Nabors has a unique voice and he sings the Christmas Cd with such feeling as he does all his songs. I have all of his CD's so far and hope he plans recording more. Thank you Jim Nabors for sharing your one of a kind baritone voice with America.

5 out of 5 stars JIM NABORS " CHRISTMAS ".......2007-02-06

I knew prior that Jim Nabors has a great, clear professional voice. He sung the complete song "o' Holy Night with all the verses. This album is TIMELESS this C D is a MUST for anyone that collects CHRISTMAS songs.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Gift.......2006-11-29

Bought this as a joke Xmas gift for a friend. Can't get any better than this. I mean, look at the cover art! Listen to the song clips! It's freakin' hysterical!

5 out of 5 stars Christmas Classic.......2006-01-17

If you're a fan of classic Christmas music, this is one of the albums you need for your collcetion. Jim Neighbors is not Gomer Pyle. His powerful voice is on full display here, and the song selection is well vaired. Go Tell It On The Mountain is the highlight here, but all of the songs deliver a strong Christmas mood. This will fit fine right next to Bing Crosby, Perry Como, and Nat King Cole in your Christmas album collection.

5 out of 5 stars Christmas memories.......2003-03-06

These songs bring back memories of us kids coming in from school and hearing Jim Nabors as we were greeted by my mom in the kitchen with hot chocolate ready to go. It just wasn't the Christmas season without hearing "Go Tell It on the Mountain" as only Jim Nabors can sing it. I am thrilled to finally add this CD to my own Christmas music collection!
