Editorial Reviews
iDJ
...a perfect balance between party minded retro-electro and introspective futurism, deep electronics and poppy sophistication

Product Description
Brothers Danny Spencer and Kelvin Andrews are house music legends. Danny produced his debut single in 1988 with his acid house classic ‘Ride the Rhythm' under the name of This Ain't Chicago. By 1990 he was on ‘Top of The Pops' and the cover of ‘Smash Hits' in his cult incarnation of Candy Flip with a cover of the Beatles' ‘Strawberry Fields Forever'.

Together, under the pseudonym of ‘Sure is Pure', in the early 90s, they remixed for artists such as Aretha Franklin, Sister Sledge, The Doobie Brothers, Lulu and Dave Stewart. They have also found worldwide chart success with Blueboy's ‘Remember me', have written a critically acclaimed album ‘No Illicit Dancing' as Sound 5, and co-wrote ‘Rock DJ' with Robbie Williams, for which they received an Ivor Novello nomination.

15 years on, Danny and Kelvin started afresh as Soul Mekanik. They have just completed their debut album, the "breathtakingly brilliant" (iDJ) ‘Eighty One'.

"We just arrived at this concept", explains Danny. "We thought wouldn't it be good if we could go back to 1981 armed with the technology from now, and then place it in that context."

"Everything was in the melting pot then," suggests Kelvin. "Punk, disco, early electro and hip hop: it felt like music was progressing, there was an energy."

The idea was no more than the album's skeleton, a structure on which to build. And boy does it work. Located somewhere between the expressive pop of Mylo, the edge of Black Strobe, the production savvy of Richard X, the then and nowness of Tom Tom Club and the sheer accessibility of Royksopp, ‘81' is charming leftfield house at its very best.

5 out of 5 stars Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

5 out of 5 stars Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

5 out of 5 stars Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

3 out of 5 stars Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

2 out of 5 stars Ambrosia definitely did a "180".......2006-10-26

If I wanted soft rock or pop, I'd listen to Barry Manilow, NOT Ambrosia. This album has some "decent" songs like "Ready", "Kamakaze", and so forth, but forget the mushy stuff. Sure, as a girl that appreciates a great male voice, I love hearing David Pack sing his sweet ballads, but some of these songs are just a little too mushy for me. I'm like a lot of others that are disappointed in how much of a "180" they did with their music. Some of the old Ambrosia feel comes through on the harder songs, but this album is mostly just mush!!! LOL!!! This album, regardless of the hit singles on it, may have been Ambrosia's demise. If you like mush, it's a great album to get. If you like classic Ambrosia, hang it up!

4 out of 5 stars Certainly NOT Their Best, But I Bought It Anyway.......2006-07-10

It's difficult to reconcile an Ambrosia album like "One Eighty" with their previous, predominantly progressive, hard-rock extravaganzas including their debut masterpiece effort (self titled), followed by an arguably even LOFTIER orchestral, rock-opera creation called "Somewhere I've Never Travelled" (which, if you own the LP, is unique, creative and imaginative [and a definite collector's gem] in that the album cover actually opens out and up into the shape [suitable for a table centerpiece] of a perfect pyramid!). Wow! And then Ambrosia's third offering, "Life Beyond L.A.," is worth the price of purchase alone with its eponymously-titled opening track, a progressive-rock "quo vadis" that even received respectable-enough airplay on selective radio stations in 1978.

But by then however, Ambrosia fans were beginning to notice a rather disconcerting change in their beloved, "intelligent-rocker-audiophile" quartet's musical direction. To put it mildly, Ambrosia was beginning to show signs of "mellowing out." Worse yet, they seemed to be "selling out." You could say that the worry began to settle in with 1978's adult-contemporary hit single, "How Much I Feel." With this song, Ambrosia started to gain a whole new audience, while undermining their faithful base of progressive-rock worshippers.

That loyal base could have forgiven Ambrosia their 1978 commercially-driven faux pas, were it not for their fourth offering and the album reviewed here, "One Eighty" (released, not coincidentally enough, in 1980). Two more hit singles reminiscent of "How Much I Feel," namely "You're the Only Woman" and "Biggest Part of Me," nailed the coffin lid shut on Ambrosia (as rock-and-roll pioneers) forever, typecasting them as "easy listening" to the masses of listeners right up until the present day.

Tragically enough, being typecast as easy-listening was never what band members and erstwhile audial imagineers David Pack, Joe Puerta or Christopher North ever had in mind. But something happened between "Somewhere I've Never Travelled" and "One Eighty." Perhaps it was the fact that David Pack was (literally) losing his hearing in both ears. Or maybe the reality was best summed up in the lyrics to the outstanding, progressive-rock swan song "Life Beyond L.A." (from the album released 2 years before "One Eighty"): "Living out here you soon come to know that it ain't how good you are as much as who you know ... now you fake it."

They did. And they made a lot of money doing just that.

But surprisingly (or perhaps not, at least to the legions of "true" Ambrosia aficionados), just as Ambrosia began to be recognized in a rather major fashion by the Billboard Pop Chart, rather than "ride the success wave" to further pop popularity, "One Eighty" marked both the apex (commercially) and the collapse (artistically) of Ambrosia's career. Their followup album, "Road Island," sank into the ocean of oblivion like Krakatoa. And along with "Road Island," Ambrosia itself disappeared beneath the waves.

I recall vividly in 1980, leafing through an issue of Billboard Magazine shortly after "One Eighty" and its attendant, light-on-the-ears, soft-on-the-brain hits dolloped onto the scene like so much hospital-vanilla pudding, amazingly and amusingly enough (and ostensibly as a kind of "sop to Cerberus" to their "hard core" audience): Ambrosia posted a full-page, full-color, heavy-text "disclaimer" in the industry-standard rag, defending their new album and insisting vehemently that "Ambrosia still rocks!" All humor aside, most implicit in this defense was, "please, please don't judge us by our hit songs; buy our new album and you'll hear for yourself - all the REALLY GOOD HEAVY stuff WHICH YOU LOVE and which the radio ISN'T playing! It's in here TOO!!" So I bought "One Eighty."

And I kind of had to agree with the guys. I love the thickly-layered, power-rock opening track, "Ready" (reminiscent of their equally power-driven "Can't Let a Woman" off "Somewhere I've Never Travelled"), and I also thought "Kamikaze" jammed effectively enough. But the rest of the album?

Hmmmmm ...

In any case, I had purchased the LP. And when the CD of "One Eighty" finally made it to market, yup - I bought that as well. So, like it or not, if I was upset with the way Ambrosia had declined artistically, I still feel, even to this day, that the band's definitive oeuvre just isn't complete unless all four of their albums (up until "Rock Island" which, although I do own it, confessedly, I couldn't tell you any of the names, let alone hum any of the tunes, of a single one of the songs from this album off the top of my head).

Thus, "four" seems to be a kind of "magic number" for Ambrosia, which is why, albeit semi-reluctantly, I give "One Eighty" four stars, even though (intellectually) I might wish to assign it merely two, or two-and-a-half. Maybe I give "One Eighty" 4 stars because their opening song "Ready" redeems the rest of the album. That and "Kamikaze." Or perhaps because ... ummmm ... "je ne sais quoi" (*sigh*) as the French say - I just don't know why.

Call it a "lifetime achievement award" to a band I once loved to pieces, and still do - for their aboriginal, brilliant work early on. Fortunately, you can still hear vestiges of that work here on "One Eighty."

3 out of 5 stars Different musicians and a different sound!.......2006-04-17

Even with the two hit songs on this CD...It is still pretty good. It's obvious that this isn't progressive rock. The band Ambrosia slowly abandoned that genre music and chose to write and play pop music. Perhaps, it was contractual obligations or maybe, they just needed to eat??? The opening track Ready, makes references in the lyrics...to Somewhere I Never Travelled and Getting On Out Of L.A. Clearly, these words are chosen to refer back to their earlier albums. This song is one of the better one's on this CD. Shape I'm In is an okay pop-style song. Kamikaze rates as one of the worst songs that Ambrosia has ever made. I enjoy the music, but the lyrics stink! It's just stupid and dated. Like they would know anything about being a Kamikaze pilot. You're The Only Woman is a lesser known hit, but still recieves quite a lot of airplay. It's heard more often than not here lately in it's new jazzed-up remix by David Pack on his CD called The Secret Of Movin' On. I think that I like the original version better. Rock N' A Hard Place....is another good song. Definitely some shades of prog-rock here! Livin' On My Own is also one of the standout songs on this CD. It features the singing of Royce Jones. Great voice!!! Cryin' In The Rain is a pretty good tune, but definitely a "girlie rock" song. No Big Deal is a fast-paced, up-tempo song...The lyrics are kind of silly, but the song is catchy and has some hints of progressive rock. The final track is Ambrosia's well-known hit, Biggest Part Of Me. It's a nice song, but definitely overplayed. This is and adequate CD, but certainly not Ambrosia's best. It features some different musicians and a different sound.

3 out of 5 stars Let's Clear Some Stuff Up.......2005-02-04

Ambrosia began as a brilliantly original progressive rock band. Their first album "Ambrosia" is genius, one of the best albums of the 70's I'd say. This album is their 4th release, not their third. If you enjoy the early progressive sound of Ambrosia and were disappointed to hear them slipping more and more toward typical uninspired commercial-oriented music (um, selling out) with each album, then this is the album you might not want to buy. 180 indeed, it is almost unrecognizable in style from their brilliant first album. Not that anything these talented guys put out is bad, it's just so far below what they produced when they were playing with a sense of artistry rather than chasing the buck. As to the album cover, it's hard to believe that some folks haven't noticed how playing around with homoeroticism is a staple of the rebelliousness at the heart of rock and roll. This cover could have only caused controversy among the sappy mainstream audience it was directed at. More importantly, who cares what the sexual orientation of an artist is? It's the new millenium. Wake up and smell the diversity. Those of you insisting that the hug on the cover is not evidence of homosexuality are probably as homophobic as those who think it is. I have no idea if these guys are gay and don't care. Do you?

5 out of 5 stars The album that took a 180 degree turn.......2003-11-07

ONE EIGHTY was inspired by the month and year this album was finished,January 1980. Burleigh Drummond's arms around Joe Puerta is not a sign of homosexuality,as some people might think. This album was re-released in February 2000 on compact disc in America. This album is Ambrosia's fourth with their last biggest hits YOU'RE THE ONLY WOMAN and BIGGEST PART OF ME written by Ambrosia member David Pack. They're both jazz-flavored. LIVIN' ON MY OWN is also jazz-flavored. Those three songs appear on 1997's ANTHOLOGY. READY,also written by Pack, is a hard-rocker just like ROCK 'N A HARD PLACE(not to be confused with the Rolling Stones recording of almost the same title with different words and music). Drummer Drummond takes the lead on his personally penned CRYIN' IN THE RAIN. NO BIG DEAL,SHAPE I'M IN and KAMIKAZE are all cool. Ambrosia would record one more album after this,ROAD ISLAND,released in 1982 and disband thereafter.

      Product Description

      Having ruled the Christian pop and metal charts in the early 90's, by 1994 Whitecross fans had no idea what to expect since this would be the first album without legendary axeman, Rex Carroll. Thus, the 1994 release "unveiled" the new Whitecross line up and how they would sound together. The result was a collective sigh of relief when fans were greeted with a gritty melodic hard rock/metal album to be proud of. "Unveiled" will still appeal to fans of Extreme, Bride, Guardian, Tesla, and Stryper. But just to make this release even better, Retroactive Records has added the never-before-released '86 Whitecross two song demo that got the band signed to Pure Metal Records. So now you can hear the demo versions of "Lookin' For A Reason" and "He Is the Rock." The demo shows that Rex Carroll's guitar playing was pure brilliance from day one!

      5 out of 5 stars Whitecross With A Different Sound, But, The Same Outcome... Great!.......2006-04-17

      I remembered when I was waiting for this CD, that I never anticipate new music from Whitecross, any more than this one. Because, lead guitarist Rex Carroll had left, and I felt that the preasure was on for Scott Wenzel (Lead Singer/Founder) to come out with another CD that the fans can boast about. I think, that it was: Mission accomplished! There are some fans that will always be stuck on the previous Whitecross style with Rex Carroll at guitar, but, if you're open-minded to new possibilities, then give this offering a chance.

      I like every song, from start to finish. It's tough for me to pick my favorite. Some of the songs have a Robert Plant (Led Zepplin) singing style, in which, I think, that Scott Wenzel does a fantastic job of not sounding like a copy, but instead shows that he's flexible with his own style. While you will not hear the guitar riffs, that the previous CDs have given us, the guitar is very good, by Barry Graul. Drums are solid with Mike Feighan, again, at the helm. Tracy Ferrie is the newer comer at bass.

      From the first track, 'If You Believe, till the last,'No Other Love'(A remake of Rick Cua's song), the song's are top-notch.
      From the lightest song,'Angel's Disguise'(A ballad with solid acoustic guitar), to the hardest rocker,'Come Unto The Light'(A hard hitting rocker/I believe this song got a Dove Award), the song's are top-notch.

      I think, this CD is their 2nd best, behind only their 'In The Kingdom' CD.

        3 out of 5 stars meh..........2006-05-23

        I picked this one up a few years back cause i was in need of a ska fix and it was handy at the time and only cost 4 bucks factory sealed. cant beat that. Basicaly the love child of the sureptones and the dancehall crashers as far as sound and content. I cant say I was ever overly impressed. There are better bands out there, but One Eighty is still ok. When i bought it, it wasnt a problem but now the music is WAY to preachy. If you like christian music, then i recomend it, but for everyone else, go buy some DHC albums.
        ill say this, you can get it for $.25, so you cant lose either way

        5 out of 5 stars ONE EIGHTY ROCKS!!!.......2003-07-30

        In 1998 I was young and naive and not really into the whole music scene. After getting recomended to this cd by my friend (who knows "one eighty" or "flight one eighty") I fell in love with it. Their mixture of fast ska mixed with two great girl voices and a few trombone solos makes this album a great cd to buy or for a gift. I do admit that a few times it can get a little old school/boring because of the mix of 50's style with slow lyrics. But, after about 2 songs it perks right back up and gets you wanting to worship with the fast/fun lyrics.

        5 out of 5 stars awesome!!!.......2002-07-05

        first off i'd like to say that its pretty [bad] that they had to change their name becuz some other christian group sued them. how could you be so greedy to sue an awesome band with an awesome message like flight 180? (don't wanna get them in trouble by calling them one eighty). and secondly how can you compare them to the supertones? they sound nothing like the supertones. they have women vocalist for pete sake. the supertones are one of the greatest bands ever but comparing flight 180 and them is like comparing apples and oranges they sound nothing alike. if you need a comparison the band i think they most sound like is no doubt (before rock steady). they sound very similar to no doubt, especially with the ladies vocals. this cd is awesome. tick,tock, sally, and cool world are the best songs on this cd. also try their newest releases lineup and girls & boysthey are both pretty cool. enjoy this cd. ...

        2 out of 5 stars Hmmmm..................2002-03-24

        Right, first of all they are a good band musically, a bit of a dance hall crashers rip-off but there you go. Why 2 stars then? Because they undo all their hard work by ramming religion down our throats in every song. It is preachy and condescending, and it gets really old, really fast. They wouldnt like it if bad religion said 'you are all wrong, god is a myth' in every single chorus of every single song would they?

        4 out of 5 stars In a former life, before "flight"..........2001-06-05

        Here's even more proof that ska will never die; especially as far as Christian music is concerned. It's a great combo, though; happy, upbeat music with an uplifting message, and these guys done the kingdom proud. The swingin' debut from the Artists Formerly Known As One Eighty (now Flight 180) has a lot of great songs. Their ska/punk sound is addictingly ultra-cute (mostly 'cause of the two female lead singers), and the horns complement the crankin' guitars quite well. I've found myself humming a chorus or two now and then on the job and such. This musical journey covers all kinds of territory; subjects like road rage ("405"), growing old together ("When We First Dated"), mental misdirection ("Sally"), and the brevity of worldly pleasures make you want to think as well as sing along. They even do an out-of-nowhere cover of the Go-Go's "Vacation" that's red-hot. Flight 180's sound has matured quite nicely over the few years that they've been together; hopefully Amazon will carry this title again soon to give folks a chance to hear these guys' first effort. If you dig the ska/punk sound, this one's a keeper.
