Yaaaah!!! Here Comes The Gravediggaz (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars).......2007-03-03

The fact that there are two awesome producers on this album, Prince Paul and RZA alone makes this album very interesting. Along with Frukwan and Too Poetic, they came out in '94 under the name Gravediggaz with the debut "6 Feet Deep" (or "Niggamortis"). A horricore rap album that was very appealing. To make things even more intersting, everyone changed their name as well.

There is not much to say here about this album. The production is well innovative by RZA or Rzarector who does more rapping than producing, and Prince Paul or Thee Undertaker who does the opposite. As for the rhymes, they are excellent too. "Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide" is one that has excellent beats and rhymes to fit it's concept. Too Poetic or Grymreaper is good and entertaining on "Defective Trip (Trippin')".

Guests are on this album as well. Scientific Shabazz and Killah Priest appear on two tracks "Graveyard Chamber" and "Diary Of A Madman". Masta Ace appears on "Here Comes The Gravediggaz". And others known like MC Search and Biz Markie do some of the background vocals on "Defective Trip". And KRS-One does thoese vocals to "1-800-Suicide".

As for anything bad. I believe "Bang Your Head" and the title track "6 Feet Deep" didn't appeal to me. The latter song was because the chorus came in spelling out the group's name over and over again. Other than that this is one excellent project. It kind of sucks that innovative albums like this don't come out anymore. It's albums like "6 Feet Deep" that made rap so fun to listen to. It's sad that Gravediggaz probably won't be making no more albums, due to the death of Too Poetic after he passed away from colon cancer back in 2001. After hearing this album, I will check out their 1997 follow up "The Pick, The Sickle, and The Shovel", and their 2002 album "Nightmare In A Minor". This album is excellent. Even if you're a Wu-Tang fan or a De La Soul fan, this should grab your intrest.

Just for the record: This was not the first horrorcore album made. Artists like Esham and Insane Clown Posse have been doing this way before this album dropped. This one just received the most recognition.

I dont know why people give this 4 stars they gotta be extremely stupid. this is one the sickest cd's ever put out by RZA and Prince Paul the beats are banging and the lyricism is tight this cd deserves 10 stars if anything. do yourself a favor dont listen to any of these fake idiotic reviewers they dont know what real Hip-Hop is. this album is banging, it's everything every Wu fan demands. grab this album immediately.

Definately doesn't deserve 5 stars.......2007-02-18

I thought this would be more raw and hardcore, but I was disappointed. Being that RZA is in it I figured it'd be somewhat like Wu, with the style, but it definately sounded nothin like them. It had some alright flows and OK beats, but a lot of it just seemed cheezy to me. I just wasn't feelin it. You can tell a couple members had potential, but it just didn't come together right on this. It seems like they're off beat a lot too. If you're lookin for that raw new york sound, stick to wu-tang or nas... definately not this.

Still might be the hardest hip-hop album recorded.......2006-10-28

Gravediggaz "6 feet deep" should be in every hip-hop fans collection. Even though kinda disappared off the map (I believe one of their members died) and have released a handful of albums since this release, this album is flawless. Gravediggaz spit chunks of lyrics at you, which hit ou in the face, and knock you down. The album is dark and errie, and if there was ever a label to put on this, how bout death-rap (you got death-metal, so why not) The bands beats are killer to, which will push your speakers to excurstions that might just put them in the red zone. This is a treaure of classic hip-hip, and this is a prime example of what is missing from todays hip-hop scene. If you are mostly in the new-school hip-hop, dump your 50 Cent and Ja Rule CD's for a few days, and put this in your CD player. You might just never go back to the new stuff, as I never have even come close to it, and its CD's like this which is my main reason for staying away from MTV generated hip-hop. ENJOY

This boxed set is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. As a Purcell freak, this hits every button I have. The cast of characters include the inequitable Robert King, New College Choir, Bowman, and a host of other venerable persons. Likewise the attention to period performance of these works makes it an essential addition to the library of any serious anglophile/Musicologist etc. Now if only the Britten Realizations of all Purcell's songs could be recorded alongside the originals! You will Love this set!

The Gravediggaz are great. They were well received by critics. The RZA wasn't the head of the group like he was on their next release. In my opinion this is the better of their two releases, showing their dark side. Great lyrics, check them out.

What ??.......2006-12-10

The idiot from Virginia thought it a bit strange that an American black man would give the communists a chance. Looking back from modern perspective is easier than what he had to go on in the thirtes. Gee, I wonder why a black man would do that after all that southern hospitality, segregation, and steady work you gave the "black folk". Not to mention all those nighttime campfires you had going in their honor.
While I might be from New York I certainly would not be called a bleeding heart liberal but I can certainly understand why the poor soul was looking elsewhere. You are either ignorant of history and its influences on people or you are a totally unsympathetic jackass!!

A let down.......2004-09-24

I own several Robeson recordings and purchased this one with high hopes as it has a great selection of tracks. Unfortunately given the excellent recording quality of "Songs for Free Men" and "The Paul Robeson Oddyssey", the remasters from what I assume are 78's and possibly radio are a let down and mar what could have been an excellent album.

The definitive Paul Robeson compilation.......2003-09-19

This 2 CD set of Paul Robeson is the definitive collection providing a decent overview of his work in 50 tracks all wonderfully restored from 78s as usual for ASV, with spirituals, show tunes, Shakespeare-like readings, and more done with a trademark bass voice and orchestration that backs up Paul perfectly and he would later be one of the first civil rights activists. The first disc is a reissue of the single disc "Ol' Man River-His 25 Greatest" on ASV containing "Ol' Man River," "Mighty Like a Rose," "Joshua Fit De Battle Ob Jericho," "Carry Me Back To Green Pastures," "Lazy Bones," and many more classics which is also available here at Amazon for those who only want a single disc of Paul's work and the 2nd disc contains 25 more classics including "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen," "The Old Folks At Home," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Wagon Wheels," "Git On Board, Little Children," and many more. In other words, all 50 of these tracks are essential to any early pop, folk, gospel, blues, etc. music fan and this is the set to introduce yourself to his work in a convenient 2 CD package with the usual great liner notes and details on the original 78s ASV provides with each CD released in their Living Era series.

Definitely Listenable.......2007-06-05

I'd say that this is an above average CD. I must say that it seems more like groovecore than hardcore to me, though I'd be the first to admit that such labels are very subjective and debatable. The songs have some good riffage, and the yelling/singing has a nice melodic tone to it at times. Some of the riffs sound similar to ones you've already heard, though there is nothing so repetitive that you start to get bored. I personally liked there moderately-paced follow-up, Road Less Traveled, a bit more, but Struggle is also a good one.

First album of its kind .......2005-10-29

The Focused album "Bow" predates Struggle by a year, but in my mind, this is the first Christian hardcore album of any note. (The Crucified had been thrashing since the mid/late 80's, but their hardcore/thrash hybrid was more akin to crossover bands like D.R.I.) Words cannot describe how this album shaped my musical mind. As a christian teenager in the early 90's in a very dry time for any good "non-CCM" (Tooth & Nail had only just gotten off the ground) I discovered this album. Although this is not the best hardcore album I've ever heard, it was light years ahead of its time, and it is still just as affecting when I spun it today as it was nearly 12 years ago. It just hit me at a very impressionable time in my life - lyrically, musically, aesthetically. Struggle was heard by far too few people before R.E.X.(home also to Living Sacrifice and Sixpence None the Richer) screwed all their bands by going under. For those who have not heard this record, imagine a really slow, groove laden Pantera/East Coast Hardcore mix. The message is solid - Myk Porter pulls no lyrical punches about his Christianity. An absolutely essential album for understanding the roots of the Christian hard music scene.

ISSUE RESOLVED ON THE EUPHRATES.......2005-06-19

One question I might find among the more difficult in my life would be - which is my favourite Handel oratorio? I suspect that my answer would generally be 'the one I heard most recently', and that, as I write this, is Belshazzar. It is a magnificent thing, a heavenly thing. It has taken me longer than it should have to come to an appreciation of what makes Handel the phenomenon - as a genius, as an artist, as a craftsman - that he is, but I am comforted to reflect that no less a genius than Haydn, at the age of nearly 70 gaining a more thorough knowledge of Handel in performance, was driven to say that he felt a mere apprentice. In his sense of how to pace a dramatic narrative, in his instinct for how to use the human voice in song and above all in chorus, in the matchless flexibility and adroitness he displays at word-setting and in the audacity of his melodic and harmonic effects I can think of nobody who can approach Handel on his own terms.

Belshazzar was not a great success at the box-office, although this may have had more to do with difficulties in the casting than because it was deemed insufficiently biblical for oratorio, which seems to have been the fate of Hercules. It seems to me to be perfectly well described as oratorio in other ways too, with (for one thing) the extensive use of the chorus that we find in, say, Samson but not in Hercules. The one passage that cries out for visual effects is of course the apparition of the moving finger itself. Even here the composer can go a long way with sheer power of suggestion, by the strange unaccompanied violin figure creeping upwards and the frightened brevity of the vocal numbers. Otherwise for me Belshazzar is as much an oratorio as Samson is. It has the same librettist too, the crusty and formidable Jennens, who had also collaborated with Handel on Saul and on Messiah itself. Jennens' full text is not provided, but I think if you read the synopsis first and then follow the work from the headlines to each number you will have no difficulty in catching the words, so clear is the enunciation by soloists and chorus alike. As usual, Handel was driven to make alterations to the score for practical reasons. He had been a little concerned about its length, roughly 2 hours and 50 minutes in this performance, but where he wishes to be expansive he gives us full measure - two arias in Act I scene 4 take well over 7 minutes each. The liner-essay (a good one, by Anthony Hicks) goes into the issue of the version of the score used here, and I personally have no problem with it.

I have no faults to find with the performance in any way. Pinnock is an established specialist, the instruments are period instruments and vocal cadenzas at the end of the arias are kept minimal. Anthony Rolfe Johnson, James Bowman and David Wilson-Johnson are tried and trusted Handel singers and at their best here, and Nicolas Robertson and Richard Wistreich in the smaller parts are every bit as good. The part of Cyrus is a soprano part, taken by Catherine Robbin, and when I thought I heard just one touch of strain in `Destructive War' in the final scene she makes up for it instantly in her superb duet with Arleen Auger in the following number. Auger as Nitocris the mother of Belshazzar has the biggest part, and she covers herself with glory all the way through.

The recording is perfect, and when I saw an aria entitled `Destructive War, thy limits know' near the end I felt a sharp sense of irony in the year 2005. Cyrus, Handel, Jennens, you should all have been living at this hour.

Enjoiyable, but lacking, too........2004-08-16

This 3CD set of George Frederic Handel's (1685-1759) "Belshazzar", from Archiv Production, a division of Universal Music, is proof again that transfer from vinyl to tape to disc brings with it improvements in listening that make the purchase a worthwhile addition to anyone's listening library. Written in 1744, "Belshazzar" is an oratorio in the operatic style that is wonderful oratorio, but lacking the true depth one expects to hear in an opera. London opera audiences of Handel's day agreed, as both "Belshazzar" and Handel's other offering of the period in the same style, "Hercules", were not terribly successful. Instead of the scheduled 24 performances only 16 were given and Handel never offered a full season of oratorio again. The Libretto by Charles Jennens (1700-1773) is, as the production notes say, meant "not only to show the fall of Babylon but to show it as a fulfillment of divine prediction and to confirm the biblical testimony by reference to classical history." There's only one problem, as good a quality as the CDs are, it is not possible to follow the full libretto and the accompanying booklet includes no text, which is a shame. I think the listening experience would have been increased immeasurably if one was able to follow the text of what is being sung. Nonetheless the dramatic narrative is fluid and even, and the English Concert and Choir provide nice balance to the less full vocal passages, as in Disc 3s "Oh Glorious prince", cut 10. There is enough of this throughout to keep one's interest, but disappointing if what one expects is another ""Messiah".

One of the greatest treasures.......2003-06-02

Fresh and supple voice, amazing breath control, incredible expressions, mature musicality. I have listened to some of the songs sung by real sopranos (meaning mature female), and I admit that they do have their own greatness, but this boy soprano seems to be far more exciting. He's got unbeatable, invincible energy and drive, which, I guess, only teenagers can possess, and the way he builds up the intensity is awe-striking.
He has a total control over the high notes also. You will hear the most beautiful pianissimo, soft, expressive, and floaty, in those otherwise ear-spliting pitches. His runs are also incomparable, very clear, driven, profound, and accurate. You will have to hear them at least once in your life time!

I have let my two teenage nephews, who knew nothing but rock music, listen to this CD, and lo and behold, they couldn't stop listening to it. We were on a trip to Yellow Stone at that time, a long boring drive, and they kept on asking me to play it over and over. We ended up listening to it several hours straight every day for 3 days! A different kind of excitement from rock music, every time the fast runs came, they couldn't stop dancing in the car mimicking them. The whole CD made them simply happy and jubilant. As a result, the otherwise boring long drive became a very happy, fun trip.

The only drawback is that his words are not very clear, and at times the accent is poor. But his musicality and mature expressions off-set it. Even if you don't understand the words, these songs will surely make your day. This is one of those CDs that proves that classical music can be much more exciting and fun than popular music. Good for kids, teenagers, and adults.

The perfect voice.......2002-12-02

Mr. Mehta is a countertenor now. When he was a boy soprano his voice was incomparable, in my view, one which answers to the myth of a Castrato's voice. Such gentle and even register throughout the range which surely arouses the jealousy of any soprano.

Mr. Mehta demonstrated sophisticated and precoscious techniques which made his gifted timbre even more unparalleled. His diction is not quite crisp. My conjecture that it's due to his nasal technique, not unfamiliar to a countertenor, the unique head voice suited to a boy's changing voice. Maybe, also because of this, the color of Mr. Mehta's voice on this CD is especially touching - woeful but never strident nor forced in high notes. The aria "If God Be for Us" is most sentimental and brings an aetheist to tears!

Wow - the range of this young man's voice!.......2000-04-18

I've listened to this marvel repeatedly and found a great satisfaction in the choice of music and personal stylistic of these pieces. I hope there are more young men inspired to give their voices a try as a result of Bejun's work here...I especially enjoyed the spiritual selctions, esp. "If God be for us..." Please don't cheat yourself of the opportunity to hear this!

A winner from start to finish.......2000-11-22

A cyberfriend from the N. Y. Times Classical Music Forum, an American ex-patriot living in Sweden, knowing my liking for the music of Paul Winter, particularly his sax/organ duets with Paul Halley, recommended this Anders Paulsson album. His reasoning was straightforward: This unique and totally fresh album includes three such duets: Lullaby for Joe Rubin, Anthem for the Homeless, and Toccata in D, all written by Paulsson.They are brilliant, and brilliantly performed, in a style that is quite unlike the "Cathedral blues" style of Winter and Halley, now celebrating the 20th year of their collaboration.

Paulsson is an instrumentalist on this horn the likes of which I don't believe I've ever heard. I consider myself a "student" of Paulsson's instrument, thanks to Winter, and am therefore familiar with other European soprano saxophonists such as Jan Garbarek and John Harle. But I was totally unprepared for Paulsson's technique, which is, in a word, staggering. While I continue to prefer Paul Winter's way with phrasing and improvisation, and, most particularly, embrochure and tone quality, I cheerfully concede that Anders Paulsson may well be the most proficient technician of this often-misplayed instrument. (Think "Kenny G" to get my point.) Pride of place in these three duets clearly goes to Toccata in D, Paulsson's Op. 20, a tour de force for him and Andrew Canning on organ.

But the album title is about singing, and singing of some well-known and not-so-well-known spirituals is the main focus of the album. And the singing is simply drop-dead gorgeous, by the St. Jacob's Chamber Choir of Stockholm. Led for more than fifteen years by Gary Graden, another American ex-patriot, their voices, and their clear English diction, might well have come from a gospel choir in these United States. The opening track, Deep River, is worth the cost of the album by itself.

Approximately in the middle of the album is a cantata in seven parts entitled Feet of Jesus, based on texts by Langston Hughes, the great African-American "blues poet" of the Harlem Renaissance. Written by Judith Cloud, a composer from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, this cantata is the centerpiece and the true highlight of the album, notwithstanding all the good points already mentioned about both the spirituals and Paulsson's own compositions and duets. Very moving; beautifully done.

In preparing this review, I of course had the opportunity to read Professor Cloud's comments about her composition and its inspiration, written elsewhere on this album page. It's a small world indeed when one reads that a large part of her inspiration came from a performance by Anders Paulsson that she had earlier heard in the marvelous acoustic space of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, where Paul Winter is the principal artist in residence.

I thank my American friend living in Sweden for bringing this terrific album to my attention. Otherwise, I might well have missed it completely. Here's hoping that my thoughts on it will work the same wonders on you that the music has on me.

Wonderful.......1999-09-01

This is no easy listening or spectacular commercial gospel. But this music is so warm and heartfelt it really touches you deep inside. Astonishing work by one of the best choirs in the world.

I give this recording my highest recommendation!.......1999-05-26

Gary Graden's Kammarkör proves, again, the power of music to soothe the spirit and inspire the soul. "Spiritual" not just as it evokes the rich repertoire of African-American song, this recording moves the spirit in contemporary ways from Anders Paulsson's plaintive soprano sax to John Williams's (baritone) urgent rendition of "Before the Marvel of the Night" and the concluding South African "Honono." Williams joins Marymal Holmes (soprano) in an exquisitely beautiful rendition of "Bright Morning Stars" also arranged by Paulsson. Judith Cloud's "Feet of Jesus" is, from warm saxophone introduction to dramatic close, an elegant addition to American spiritual music. Cloud sets the Langston Hughes poem perfectly. Her spirited "Shout" and "Fire" complement a loving "Gather up in the arms of your pity the sick, the depraved, the desperate, the tired...." reaching the innermost recesses of the spirit and pulling from it something redeeming of humankind. The recording techniques are first-rate. To those who expect not only professional technique, but also heartfelt music, put this CD in your player and you'll never take it out!

A Title.......2006-04-07

As the first hardcore album I ever heard,I am a bit biased but...this album to me is phenomenal, and possesses a certain good vibe to me that much of modern so called "metalcore" lacks.(Along with focused,overcome,focal point,NIV and all the other early tooth and nail christianesque stuff)I would even dare to say that it has a somewhat Pantera feel to it,minus the whole southern thing the vocals are somewhat similar to Phil Anselmo's.(sp?)brutal tough guy yelling bit.I would highly recommend this as well as other six feet albums.Great band...too bad they are now an emo band called Brandston...oh well.

Sellouts.......2004-06-20

I bought this CD back in 1997 when it first came out, and I loved it! But the Christian music industry, just sometimes isn't as appealing to bands as todays "MTV" industry. They have since broken up and started a new band called Brandtson, which is an emotive rock band (sad....).

More like twelve feet deep........2000-12-25

I have no idea what my title means.

This album was literally the soundtrack to my life turning around as cheesy as that sounds. I cant remember why I even bought the album - I hadnt even heard it. But Im glad I did as this has become my favorite hardcore album by far and the most personally important album I own. I was in the darkest, most confused spiritual place at the time. I just felt cold and dead inside, but I didnt want to. Musically, this album really got to me. It sounded like I felt, but it was also defiant and strong. They refused to give up until they found the answers and turned things around. Lyrically, I couldnt believe that they were talking about my life in such depth. How hate causes you to become just like the person you hate. How you have to stand strong and keep searching even when it hurts. How you can heal from your past. Normally I dont even care about lyrics because most are cheesy and cliched (especially in 'Christian' music), but this was different. Even the music was talking to me where I was at, the lyrics just drove it home. Believe it or not, Ive actually had to buy two copies of this album because I wore out the first one. I think everyone should own this album... if for no other reason than to encourage them to do a reunion show. I would kill to see them live. Id kill for a t-shirt too.

Great positive metal album........2000-05-11

Good CD, good band. If you really like them, as I do, try to find their first CD, entitled Struggle.

good cd for a band in the past.......2000-03-04

yes, this is a good cd, both lyrically and musically, but i guess it was time to move on. keep supporting myk porter and matt traxler with their current band, brandtson.
