Sounds like a cheap plastic toy.......2007-06-20
I have these DVD's and I can tell you that they will not be a huge part of my baby's development. I received them as a gift from someone that thinks that all you need to do is plunk your child in front of a TV all day without giving the baby any attention. You can see why these DVD's are popular at Day Care Centers or what I like to call, "Concentration camps for baby's with lazy parents", because they know that they can sit their kid/baby in front of the TV and let them turn into a thoughtless zombie while they listen to Baby Einstein totally ruin classics by Bach and DeBussy by playing the music with very cheap midi keyboards. I can get better quality music by whistling Dixie with a mouth-full of saltine crackers.
Also, it has been proven that classical music has nothing to do with the cognitive development of young people. Now, teach them how to play piano or violin and you have yourself an actual YOUNG EINSTEIN, but listening to this kind of music does nothing for the development of the brain. It is just for lazy parents that can't sit down with their kids and play with them or read them a book.
would make you sleepy.........2007-06-15
its a good product with very fine music and my toddler realizes that it is sleep time, if I play it. he goes to bed and sleeps after a couple songs. I have trouble in some songs are some months.. dont know why.
Kid's Music.......2007-06-08
I bought this CD for my grandniece, but after listening to it, I determined that no one would ever play this for her except me. I would have kept it for myself but I have the grown-up versions of each of the classical masterpieces on this CD. So, I ended up returning it for a full refund. If you want your kids to be exposed to classicl music, it's a great buy. But if you don't think they will get to listen to it, don't waste your time.

Not soothing.......2007-06-07
These synthesizer versions of classical songs get really old, really fast. Worse yet, the songs are sometimes not soothing at all, especially the very first song. The song seems to get particularly loud and uptempo, which is precisely what you don't expect in a lullaby. Please listen to the sample of the first song at least before you buy.
Great for bedtime, but wish it were a real piano.......2007-06-01
This CD worked great to put my daughter to sleep while I rocked her in my arms, and I enjoyed the choices of songs and the arrangements. However, I would have preferred that real instruments were used.

Some bands like to thwart expectations, and Air is one of them. "Spacemaker," the opening of Pocket Symphony, sounds like a cousin to their instrumental retro-lounge "La Femme D'Argent" from 1998's Moon Safari, right down to the electric bass break in the middle. But this isn't a return to their breakthrough sound. "Spacemaker" really does pave the way for an almost classically somnolent outing from the French duo. Air once proclaimed, "In any classical song you can take five seconds of it and make a loop and you make a great pop song with it." I think they took that to heart on an album that echoes Debussy, Bach, and Reich, but which also contains a Beatlesque eclecticism redolent of Revolver. But instead of the Beatles' Indian flourishes, Air look to Japan, using a plucked koto on a couple of tracks, but also a zen garden sense of sonic placement. Although Jarvis Cocker from Pulp and Neil Hannon of Divine Comedy sing on a couple of tunes--adding some emotional gravitas--Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel do most of the vocalizing in their preternatural Munchkins-on-Quaaludes lisp. Air are known for their chilled melancholy, but the mood of Pocket Symphony is introspectively somber. Only "Mer du Japon" rises to a groove, while the rest recline in a luxurious torpor. That mood works especially well on instrumentals like the minimalist cycles of "Night Sight" and the Enoesque "Lost Message," with its circular piano line and ice-sheathed string synthesizers. Pocket Symphony won't yield any pop hits, but it could be the soundtrack to endless rainy afternoons. --John Diliberto

Customer Reviews:
Don't buy it if you actually want to listen to it.......2007-07-13
The copy protections are stifling. The computer can't recognize the cd so that makes it harder to put it on my treo. I gave 1 star for the 1 song worth listening to. I WILL NOT buy another Pocket Symphony CD.
Air is God........2007-06-19
...or, at least, Air is Music. Since their endlessly beautiful Moon Safari, Air (along with Zero 7) is the group that produces CDs one can purchase without needing a preview; you can also count on their absolute genius. I bought this CD blindly. And as I suspected, it paid for itself with frissions up the spine from its mere perfection and unrelentling beauty. Even if you don't like the majority of the tracks (although this should only happen if you hate music), than one could buy this CD for Mer du Japon: Best. Song. Ever. Air epitomises their talent in this one track. Can you say "obsessed"? I can't stop listening to it. I must admit it does have some run-away tracks I'm not a fan of, but on the whole they don't hinder the CD's overall genius. Pure, absolute genius. The CD is rife with genius. No doubt.
Sit back and enjoy... (not for anyone in a hurry).......2007-06-05
Ever since Air's instant-classic debut album, 1998's "Moon Safari", the French duo has sought to try and follow up to and meet that high standard. Their output since then has divided the fan base. I, for one, absolutely love the often-maligned 2001's "10,000 Hz Legend" album, but was disappointed with 2004's "Talkie Walkie" album. Now comes the new album.
"Pocket Symphony" (12 tracks, 48 min.) is as atmospheric as Air will get while not making a movie soundtrack. The instrumental opener "Space Maker" sets the stage. First single (in the UK--can you imagine Air getting a single released in the US?) "Once Upon a Time" is a beautiful dreamscape. Jarvis Cocker is the vocalist on "One Hell of a Party", which reminds me almost of cabaret-style music. Another instrumental "Mayfair Song" flowes into "Left Bank", bringing the duo back home. "Mer du Japon" ironically enough does not feature some of the Japanese sounds found on several other tracks here (such as the beautiful "Somewhere between Waking and Sleeping" and "Redhead Girl"), and in fact I find this song to be somehwat out of whack with the rest of the album. The instrumental closer "Night Shift" is the perfect ending to this album.
Is this album as good as "Moon Safari"? No, but Air may never be that good again, who knows. That said, "Pocket Symphony" is a fine album, which I have been enjoying ever since its release a few months ago. I happen to catch Air at Coachella in late April, and due to technical difficulties they only put on a brief set, which was very disappointing. I'd love to see them again in concert in better circumstances.
Record Label Ruins Product.......2007-05-25
I bought this CD took it home and put it in my computer to dump it to my iPod and was surprised to find out my PC didn't even see the disk. I tried it on other computers in the house and it wouldn't see it at all. I immediately returned the disk and got a refund. The copy protections on this disk make it impossible to use the music the way I want to in my own home. I believe this is the record label messing with an artist's work. I love Air, but I hate this miserable attempt to control my access to the music.
Most boring Air record to date........2007-05-22
This new one is pretty lame. It contains some of Air's most lazy and unoriginial work so far. As a huge fan of Moon Safari, The Virgin Suicides Soundtrack, and especially Premieres Symptomes...I was quite disappointed with Pocket Symphony. And Walkie Talkie for that matter. This groups been going downhill for a while. Get something interesting instead. Like the new Chromeo record. Or hell, the old Chromeo record. Or watch the Air movie, "Eating Sleeping Waiting Playing," to find out what dolts these guys really are.

Traditional and wonderful.......2007-04-10
I bought this CD for my ballet classes and am really happy with it. It has all of the classics, and each is very true to it's original composition. There are a lot of horns, which are not my favorite, but the strings make it worth every penny!

Beautiful voice.......2007-07-01
Chloe has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. I love this album. I only wish this album had Chloe's rendition of Ava Maria. Chloe is only 18 or 19 and I can only imagine her voice becoming more beautiful as her vocal talents mature. She truly has the voice of an angel!
her voice is too thin..........2007-06-21
Her voice not as satisfied as I expected. Bought this because I want the first song:
walking in the air. Her voice is good for this song, but for the rest of the songs, I think her voice is a little too thin, no strong emotion to support it.
Walking in the Air - Chloe Agnew.......2007-06-20
A perfect choice of songs to showcase the talents of this young "Celtic Woman" soprano. It's a joy to listen to over and over and compliments the other solo CDs put out by the other individuals from the Celtic Women group. So much talent! I will look forward to Chloe's next solo CD.
Celtic Woman #1.......2007-06-14
If you're going to own only one of the myriad of Celtic Woman CD's, this is the one. Yes, there's only one performer; however the range of musical selections is quite large and typical of the best fare on other Celtic Woman productions. It's become my first choice when I'm in this musical mood.
Excellent sound.......2007-06-12
The vocal are fantastic, the instrumentation is great, and for once, the recording engineers got it just right. With a good stereo system, you can feel sounds that cannot be heard -- and my hearing is excellent. Cut 11 is especially good. Highly recommend this CD.

A few good songs for your guilty pleasure.......2007-06-03
The album has some really good songs. I'm not a big fan of Air Supply, but Making Love Out of Nothing At All, Power of Love, and All Out of Love are a few of my favorite guilty pleasures, and this album has these songs. Most of the other songs aren't so great.
Good stuff here.......2007-04-25
One always wants the original albums, for greatest hits compilations always leave something out. But you also can't go back and unless you have unlimited amounts of money, a compilation is not necessarily a bad thing. And now, 20 years on, how much Air Supply should you have, or admit to...
This is all the Air Supply you need.......2007-04-12
Alot of great love songs on this cd. Wonderful music, great melodies, brings back lots of good memories. This compilation has all of their hits on it.
Thank you!!!.......2007-02-17
The item arrived quickly and has not left my cd player since. I love it!!!
Perfect Air Supply.......2007-01-24
I love this cd. I was looking to purchase a new air supply cd and decided to order this one. It has so many good songs on it including Power of Love. I had never heard this song performed by Air Supply. It is one of my favorite songs by them. I love this cd so much I ordered a second copy to keep at home since the first copy is in my car. A must have for any air supply fan!

You want relaxing classical music that'll soothe your soul but won't lull you into sleep? Here's a double CD for you. The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World ... Ever! does its best to cover both well-worn classical favorites (Bach's "Air on the G String," Pachelbel's "Cannon," Debussy's "Clair de Lune") and some eclectic left-field choices (an excerpt from Górecki's Symphony No. 3, Jocelyn Pook's "Blow the Wind," and Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. The performances of most of these excerpts are top-notch--artists include Sir Neville Marriner, James Galway, Jacqueline du Pré and the Philadelphia Orchestra--and there's enough variety here for everyone. --Edward Garabedian
Customer Reviews:
Lives Up To The Title, Fine Variety Of Genre's........2007-02-04
This CD is a great way to enjoy a large variety of Classical Composers & many of their best known pieces. Vivaldi's "Four Seasons," is an all time favorite. There are vocals, Piano pieces, & some fine Violins. I found the latter the most enjoyable. Here you can find Rodrigo & Pachelbell. Samuel Barber's haunting Adagio will make your skin tingle. This may not be to everyones taste, but if you wish to relax? Give this a couple of listens.
Good for relaxing pregnant women.......2007-01-17
I stumbled onto this album whilst searching bit torrent websites for classical music. I don't normally listen to classical music but thought it might be relaxing for my pregnant wife. After hearing the quality of the performances, the arrangement, and the recording I decided to buy the album from amazon. All the songs you would expect from a "best album in the world" are there and they are not boring to listen to like a lot of other classical albums. I now play this album in the car constantly and the wife requested it be played at the hospital during the birth.
Too much opera.......2007-01-10
If it wasn't for the opera this would be a great CD.
Does what it set out to do, very well.......2006-11-15
So i'm a classical music veteran, someone who prefers to collect a complete work, rather than classical compilations. I probably would not have listened to this album at all if my dad didnt buy it for me as a gift. By now, i own the complete works that over half of the excepts on this disc come from. I am a purist if ever there was one.
That said, i totally adore this set because i have learned to take it on its own terms. These discs weren't meant for expert classical listeners, so a review from that sort of mindset is useless. This set was meant for pure, easy listening, and for a basic starters kit for classical newbies. Most of all, it was just meant to do what the title says, to relax the average human being. classical expert or not.
Yes, some of these pieces have been altered or shortened, like Mozart's Flute and Harp Concerto Andantino, but they have been edited for a good enough reason: the full versions would have been too long to flow with the rest of the album. And also, the full versions contain so much development that they don't become easy listening anymore. The shortened versions work in the context of the album. Most essentially, the shortened versions on the discs still convey the main flavor the composers were going for. The melodies and themes remain unchanged.
To sum up, it is true that when i want to actually listen deeply to classical music, this album would never be a choice. I would want to hear the complete works like the composers intended. But at certain times when i simply don't mind about that stuff, when i just need to loosen up and free my mind of stress with some nice melodies, this set does the job well enough.
Last but not least: being a purist and a classical buff, i am very particular about performance quality. I was very glad to find that EMI did not get lazy about this. All the artists are world-class, and all the performances are at least exceptional. Some performances are even quite excellent, like the Clair De Lune, which is one of the best i've heard. (Credit to Dame Lympany, the pianist.)
So once again, recommended for its stated purpose, to relax. I am a purist, a classical buff, and i still enjoy this disc. That says something.
TRULY The most relaxing and beautiful music ever written........2006-11-10
This album along with Volume 2 are now the two most valued albums in my music collection. I have all of the songs contained on these two albums but they are scattered through at least a dozen different albums and several are not performed by artists such as those that recorded this album and Volume 2.
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!

Excellent resource for wedding planners.......2007-04-05
I work regularly with people planning church weddings who want the service to be dignified, traditional and formal. Often they have "ear memory" of music they've heard in other weddings, but no idea about its composer or title. This CD is the best compilation I've found of music that fits those requirements. Selections include great music and performances make it easy to imagine how they would sound in a particular church or other setting. Includes works by Protestant, Catholic and secular composers.
Great item!.......2007-03-29
Great CD! Perfect when planning your wedding music. There are a variety of songs from various composers.
Preview your wedding day.......2006-08-14
This CD was inexpensive, and provided a great way to preview songs for my wedding. The CD had a good song selection. My fiance and I were able to get a better idea of how the songs would be at our wedding. Definitely an inexpensive tool that is worthwhile.

My daughter had to move her wedding 3 weeks before the event and the music she had arranged could not be there. I purchased this CD and we were thrilled with the price, the selections on the cd and how quickly it arrived. Thanks for providing the music for a beautiful wedding.

French duo Air's debut album is a superlatively happy collection of experimental disco-mood sound nestled between ambient soundscape and breathy pop. It's jazzy and melodic, and mostly laid-back, but not excessively so. There are a few shake-it, shake-it numbers, too, like the absurdly daft hit "Sexy Boy." It's snap your fingers and hang out (while reading) music or dance around sexy-slow with your mate music. It's also the perfect music to do your ironing or some other chore to; it's hypnotizing wallpaper music. It slips in and out of your consciousness, forcing you to move around with a relaxed smile before you even realize it. Oh, and contrary to sampler fashion, Nicolas Godin and Jean Benoit Dunckel played the instruments themselves. Bravo. --Mike McGonigal

Serene chill-out music with warmth...and grooves.......2007-06-01
Some years ago I saw a hypnotic video on a music show [perhaps Rage, on ABC TV Australia]. The video is hypnotic because it featured a story about two girls, sisters perhaps, who grew up playing various tennis like games. The music and video combined was enchanting so I made a point of one day buying the song or album. Well, I got around to doing so within the last year.
The music on this album features a mellow female singer in most songs, or, for one song, a heavily accented French man singing English lyrics. The album combines English and French lyrics. The synthesiser is dominant on this album, though you do hear keyboards, pianos, bass, violins, trumpets and tambourines, I think.
A few of the tracks are instrumentals, but the standout tracks for mine are the poppy songs "Sexy boy" and "Kelly watch the stars"...the latter being the hypnotic song I mentioned earlier. In tracks like these you get a heavy bass sound from the keyboard and a groove perhaps like you get in the band Daft Punk [I'm not that familiar with Daft Punk, but to me there seems to be a similarity of sound with Air on occasion].
"Sexy boy" is probably my favourite track on this album. The title is spoken repetitively in this song by a honey voiced French female. Other lyrics are used, but it pretty much has vocal riff of "sexy boy".
As for "Kelly watch the stars" this is a song which reminds me, in a way, of Metallica's "One". By that I mean the song's strenghts are magnified with the aid of a video, but, by themselves, are weaker without the video. This song does have its strengths though, despite having the title as the only lyrics of the song and repeated frequently. One of those strenghts is, again, the female vocalist's tone of voice.
The track with the sole male voice appearing is "Remember" and this song is notable in that it samples the synth beat of my favourite Beach Boys song "Do it again". Any song with such a beat/rhythym can't be all that bad...all the heavily accented voice isn't as seductive to this male as the female voices.
Many tracks have a spacey feeling to them, and a couple, at least, even have sound effects reminescent of the kind of sound effects you hear for UFOs in those science fiction movies of a few decades ago.
Track #7 on this album features a sythesiser effect which sounds to me like the wind blowing sand in a desert. If you like that part of the track, then check out Jean Michael-Jarre's album "Oxygene" which has longer passages in this vein.
Track #1 features some ambient noise or synthesiser effects mimicking a running stream with some forest sounds, like crickets or what have you.
In closing this album mixes up tracks with a spacey feel, to bass heavy rhythyms which sound cool and are overlayed with keyboard tinkling at the higher end of a keyboard.
N.B. if you like this kind of music, or instrumentals, or more arty stuff, check out my reviews at this site of:
The Cocteau Twins: Blue belle knoll [not unlike this Air album]
Patti Smith: Horses [a poetic album, lyrically speaking]
Jean Michael Jarre: Oxygene [not reviewed here but highly recommended for instrumental tracks performed on synthesiser]
Midnight Oil: Bird noises [not reviewed here, but a very nice instrumental features on this EP]
And, lastly, brace yourself: Metallica: Master of Puppets [for the spacey instrumental Orion. The rest of the album is mostly heavy metal. Reviewed here by me].
It was Okay..........2007-05-14
This CD was a little less than I was expecting from it. Only liked about 3 tracks on it, and only one of those blew my socks off. I probably would not buy it again if I could go back.
Fantasmal.......2007-04-07
This is the ultimate cruising CD. I love it and when I put it into my car it stays playing on repeat for at least 2 months at a time.
doesn't do it for me.......2007-01-03
coming from a rock viewpoint, this music is garbage. I see all the other bad reviews and they're getting very low percentage for how helpful they are, and I can't help but think that all those votes are from Air-affiliated entities. As one other reviewer stated, all the songs are repetitive and boring. Some of the songs use the same exact notes throughout the entire song. In my opinion, a lot of today's pop has much more musical talent than this album.
An excellent introduction to chillout.......2006-12-30
When I bought this CD three years ago, I was astounded by the slowness and smoothness of the tracks - I hadn't heard anything like it before. These days, after becoming familiar with the likes of Zero 7 and Massive Attack (trip-hop), the vocals on Moon Safari detract from my enjoyment of the CD overall.
Still, "La Femme D'Argent" and "Le Voyage De Penelope" are among my favorite tracks of any genre, and "You Make It Easy" is a great romantic song. On the whole, I'm very glad I own this CD and although it's not for everyone, I recommend it to those of you looking to discover new genres or expand your collection of chillout music.

the most relaxing classical music in the university.......2007-05-12
All my favorites. I can start the CD player, which is wired to speakers in every room of my house, and just let it play, along with "The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the World" and "The Most Relaxing Classical Guitar in the World." I enjoy an awareness of familiar and beautiful strains of my favorites all day long and never get tired of it.
My brother visited me recently and noticed it right away. That will be another order for this fabulour music.
Relaxing Classical Music.......2007-01-08
I was not really a classical music fan but I am now. I purchased this cd for my 14 year old grand-daughter, not knowing we would both enjoy the music so much. She has always enjoyed classical music along with all of the other teen music, rap, rock, country, etc.
Also, it really helped being able to listen to parts of the music before purchasing.
Stress-freedom.......2006-03-14
Perfect music to end the work day. After listening to this I can face the evening. If the morning is hard, a little at lunch time gets me through the afternoon.
Greatly enjoy!.......2006-02-23
I first developed a taste for this music a number of years ago when my daughter started playing in the orchestra. The reason I made this purchase however, was because I have a great deal of difficulty with anxiety and I was looking for ways to find help. I love these CDs. It helps so much to sit and close my eyes and enjoy the music. The CDs are full of beautiful music.
