The line between evangelist and entertainer has always been somewhat indistinct. But as showcased on this 43-track, double-disc collection culled from his '87-'96 recordings for Elektra/Nonesuch/Atlantic, Michael Feinstein's dedication to spreading the gospel of the American song often blurs it beyond recognition. While the singer's pedigree for the task is impeccable (a long-term stint as Ira Gershwin's assistant and early career sponsorship by Liza Minnelli), his interpretations often succeed by playing off a tense axis of fervent emotionalism and a joyous sense of irreverence.

If his readings of romantic standards can sometimes tend toward the precious, they're often balanced here by sheer dramatic power and telling insights ("Isn't It Romantic" fairly bristles with ironic chauvinism) and a few loopy curves ("The Mole People," the Sherman Brothers' "The Ugly Bug Ball," and the previously unreleased "Rhode Island Is Famous for You"). Feinstein's dedicated song archaeology is also showcased on several gems: "Violin," a duet with Liza Minnelli; "My Favorite Year," a rejected ballad for the film of that name; the sublime "lost" Gershwin classic "Ask Me Again."

Sprinkled with live performances (the forum where Feinstein's talents seem most energized) and studio outtakes and featuring a lengthy print interview with the singer, the set chronicles both the pioneering efforts of one of pop music's most successful revivalists and, crucially, the cream of his beloved American songwriters, from stalwarts Gershwin, Berlin, and Porter to later legends like Herman, Styne, Lane, Martin, and Mercer. --Jerry McCulley

3 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings.......2005-10-05

This album has some GREAT songs on it; sophisticated swing being one of my favorites. However many of the other songs are too operatic and lame. I give three stars but this album is definatly worth it just for some of the better songs.

5 out of 5 stars Your love for this superb collection will be here to stay..........2002-07-18

The magnificently talented Michael Feinstein has made one wonderful album after another for nearly two decades. Now that Elektra and Rhino have put together this anthology, I am blown away by the versatility and diversity in Feinstein's recorded output. Such amazing rare gems, combined with the most beloved favorites in the history of American Popular Song. Assembled with wit, intelligence, and obvious affection on the part of the record company, this set is a keeper. You'll love it!

5 out of 5 stars He's done it again.......2002-07-15

Is there anything this man can't sing? This collection is so varied as to be the definitive collection of songs for any occassion.

This is perfect background music for a dinner party for a whole group but especially for two. Light, romantic and just gorgeous. You just can't go wrong when Michael Feinstein is your musical choice.

Way to go Michael, you've done it again!

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely 'S WONDERFUL!.......2002-06-10

There are very few contemporary performers who can hold their own with the truly great interpreters of American popular song. Michael Feinstein is truly the ONLY performer of the "younger" generation who really understands what these songs are all about. His incredible knowledge of this music, and his enthusiasm and passion for it have fueled his career. Rhino Records has done a truly outstanding job of putting together an anthology that exemplifies why Mr. Feinstein has become so beloved by audiences around the world. The packaging is excellent, and filled with interesting photos and background information about many of the selections.

This collection not only contains all the favorites one would expect, but a neat group of surprises too. I especially love the duets with people like Liza Minnelli and Rosemary Clooney, and the various collaborative efforts with songwriters like Jule Styne and Burton Lane accompanying Michael at the piano.

This collection is a classic to be treasured. Bravo Michael!
Bravo Rhino!

5 out of 5 stars A beautiful 2 disc CD-another hit for Michael.......2002-06-09

I have every CD Michael has ever made and this is by far one of the best ones because of Michael's range in singing and his wonderful singing voice. I love his duets with Rosemary Clooney and Liza Minelli. He is a wonderful performer on this double CD and am looking foward to the next CD.

    Given the two belated live-action sequels and numerous other TV and video spinoffs spawned by Disney's charming 1961 animated original, the Dalmatian count is more like 1,001 by now. This reissued soundtrack (admirably restored in the late '90s by producer Randy Thornton) showcases the original orchestral film cues of George Bruns to good effect. While the composer's bright, lively work was largely fragmentary (originally written as punctuation for the film's turns of action and comedy), its components have been skillfully sequenced and gently edited here for a more cohesive listening experience. The film's most memorable musical moments remain Mel Levin's delightful trio of songs, "Kanine Krunchies," "Dalmatian Plantation," and, of course, the classic villainess romp "Cruella DeVil." Bonus cuts include both a bluesy piano rendition and Levin's decidedly goofy piano/vocal demo of the latter tune. A great primer to Disney's animation underscore philosophy, seasoned with one of the studio's most memorable songs. --Jerry McCulley

    This CD is great music and pure fun from beginning to end. I would never claim to be an afficianado of classical music but I can listen to this disc over and over again, great music tempered with a great sense of humor. A must for anybody who enjoys classical music but doesn't have to take it too seriously.

    5 out of 5 stars better off alone.......2006-07-23

    The first time I heard this song, I fell in love with the beat. Right away i went out to the music store and tried to see if i could find the song. Then this song wasn't that popular, but lucky for me i found the single. Track 4 is the exact same as track 5 (i think 5 is longer). If you like the song Better off Alone, buy Alice Deejay's album 'Who Needs Guitars Anyway?' You'll love it, if not more than the single.

    4 out of 5 stars Mark Van Dale & Enrico mix!.......2000-05-30

    I would recommend just closing your eyes and picking which "Better Off Alone" single you get, since they are mostly all the same. The Australian release does include the Mark Van Dale & Enrico mix which is just more trancy and hard core than the other mixes; it also sounds different from the other mixes, which is fun. This is really an ecstatic track which drives the crowd crazy!

    5 out of 5 stars catchy uplifting beats.......2000-03-24

    The radio edit is great. The five other are remixes and all are similar to each other. The beats are uplifting and energizing. Good sounds to dance to or drive fast to in the car.

    ok it might not have riffs as memorable in persecution mania or even agent orange, but it is a rock solid album and very enjoyable too. all songs are heavy and kick [butt] and not too many fast ones (actually the sound is more mature than that in their earlier releases). stand-out songs are "an eye for an eye", "saw is the law", "never neverland" and "stalinorgel".

    5 out of 5 stars Awesome Vocal Trance Single!.......2003-06-19

    Alice Deejay's single is excellent! She has some talent and thats for sure. You cant get sick of this single because all of the awesome remixes that it contains. My favorite track on this single hit is #3 the "Signum Remix". The tracks are wrong on this cd, the original one from the US contains the following tracks:
    1)Radio Edit
    2)Vocal Clubmix
    3)Signum Remix
    4)Pronti & Kalmani Vocal RMX
    5)Pronti & Kalmani Club Dub
    6)Mark Van Dale with Enrico RMX
    Riding high on the "Pop-Trance" phenomenon that is currently breaking out of Europe (ie Eiffel 65, Sonique), Netherlands-based Alice Deejay is now poised to take on the US with their worldwide smash "Better Off Alone". The track has become an international anthem about the joys of being single. It has hypnotic vocals entwined around a heavy net of haunting melodies. The result manages to be touching yet refreshing, with a feminine touch of raw and fragile emotion that makes the track stand out from the pack.
    I highly recommend this vocal trancer to anyone!

    4 out of 5 stars Good techno track.......2001-06-13

    Nice techno track, but the beat can get annoying after a while though. Check it out if you haven't heard it yet!

    4 out of 5 stars Bouncy Piece Of Dutch Pop.......2001-05-26

    Okay, okay. I know everyone already knows everything there is to know about this song. Afterall, in the year 2000 BETTER OFF ALONE became a runaway worldwide smash hit. However, I still feel inclined to give my little opinion of one of the hottest dance songs from last year. Alice Deejay who is really a Dutch DJ named Judy, gives a great performance in one the bounciest little dance songs to come out in a while. This song steers away from your typical Northern European bubblegum pop, and showcases a trancy kind of pop that gets stuck in your head instantly. This is a very nice song with great vocals by Alice Deejay.

    This is better than the album by far. All the mixes keep you craving their best song.

    5 out of 5 stars Who Needs Guitars Anyway?!.......2000-10-10

    BETTER OFF ALONE is the greatest song i have ever set my pretty little ears to! It has such a strong message and great sound! Her voice is gorgeous, the beat is pounding which is excellent for the clubs and the background sound is so kewl! This song is very unique and i'll never get sick of it! It's been stuck in my head for the past 5 months and i'm not ashamed to say that i love it there and don't want it to go away! I reccomend this single to any SANE person who likes a good song to reflect to or just plain GRIND to baby! Love yas!!!

      5 out of 5 stars A Great Junior Wells CD!!!!.......2003-02-03

      Junior Wells spent four decades as one of Chicago's best Blues harmonica players. Working as a solo artist, in a long-time partnership with guitarist Buddy guy and also backing other Blues greats like Muddy Waters, Wells showed the world that ther was no one in the world that he wouldn't try to meet or beat on the Blues harp.

      This CD is one of Junior's later releases, but it certainly isn't one of the least. Backed by long-time partner Buddy Guy as well as many of Chicago's best Blues players, Wells puts out a top-notch effort on this one. There is plenty of great music to go around, including his signature piece "Messin' With The Kid". The overall effort is typical Junior Wells; straight-forward Rockin' Chicago Blues.

      A definite must-have for any Chicago Blues Harmonica enthusiast.

      2 out of 5 stars Arrested By You, another choice........2007-06-06

      If you want this soundtrack mainly for the track Arrested By You you would be better listening to Dusty Springfields REPUTATIONS & RARITIES album. She does a lovely version!

      5 out of 5 stars Whoa! Total 80's Extravaganza.......2006-08-02

      I totally love the synthpop producer/composer of the soundtrack: Rupert Hine.
      The overall soundtrack is just amazing, however, it does lack the hidden tracks. :(

      But.. it's not worth paying more than $50 USD. (Unless you're wealthy)

      3 out of 5 stars Missing Songs.......2005-05-18

      Better Off Dead is a great movie and one of my favorites.I bought this CD mostly just for the songs One Way Love and Arrested by you- which are two of my favorites on this CD. I was disappointed and surprised that the songs "Everybody Wants Some" and "I'd Like to get to Know you Well" arent on there at all. The songs on the cd are still okay. But its disappointing they didnt put two of the best songs on the cd

      3 out of 5 stars A solid compilation of some great 80's music.....(3.5 stars).......2003-08-03

      Ya ya ya, the Howard Jones "Like To Get You Know You Well" isn't there and that is already well said numerous times. What is there is some fantastic 80's music that captures the feel of the movie. I am not a huge 80's but this movie holds a special place in my heart and thus I like the songs that remind me of the movie.

      With One Look is your streotypical fun 80's song with overemotional lyrics and synthesizers. You don't want to hear it all the time but when you do it really hits the spot. Shine is one of those amazing "pick you up" songs that is fast enough that I added to my jogging lineup. Arrested By You is another exactly the opposite. A slow heart string puller that is best heard staring into the eyes of the person in bed next to you. The rest are OK to mediocre but the intsrumentals are pretty much like in the movie so if you like them there than you will like them here.

      Bottom Line: Not exactly all the songs from the movie but not bad if you like varies 80's music.
