A Listening Treat .......2007-03-08

What a delight to listen to this collection of pure Rutter ! The melodic sounds of the Cambridge Singers bring me such pleasure The sheer joyfulness of this music is to me a religious experience of such depth It is superb and will lift ones spirits instantly. highly recommended to all lovers of the English contemporary choral sound and scene,____ not to be missed

Be Thoy My Vision CD.......2007-02-19

My husband sang many of these John Rutter compositions with his church choir, and this CD is perfect since the choir is directed by Rutter, singing his own music. If you love religious music, this will bring tears to your eyes, the choir is "that" perfect.

Really good, but don't listen to it all at once........2007-01-07

I really liked this CD. It really showcases Rutter's knack for religious choral music. Perhaps it helps that I have sung some of his stuff with various groups. However, as with any similar compiliation, the composer's sameness of style and motif becomes apparent. This repetition can become boring on the third or fourth listening. On the other hand, this makes a great reference tool for any choral director or performer. Buy it, however, it's worth it, but don't listen to it all at once.

A must for choral music fans.......2006-09-19

Simply fabulous, 10/10. These are all Rutter-composed pieces, directed by Rutter himself. If you have any interest in religious choral music at all, you must get this album! One of the highlights of my musical life was attending a concert of a University of Maryland choir in which my mom sang, that featured Rutter as a guest conductor. Listening to this album is almost as good! ;-) There are too many good pieces to start naming all of my favorites, but these are some of the best known ones: "Open Thou Mine Eyes", "A Gaelic Blessing", "All Things Bright and Beautiful", "As the Bridegroom to His Chosen", "For the Beauty of the Earth", and "The Lord Bless You and Keep You".

An outstanding collection of Rutter's hymns.......2005-11-22

I sought a recording of Rutter's beautiful hymn, "Wings of the Morning", after we sang this lovely tune in church and this was the only CD I could find that contained it.

This collection includes many of Rutter's church hymns recorded over a period of 20 years performed by The Cambridge Singers, a group of Brits, that are conducted by the composer. Ergo, these performances must be considered definitive.

Many of Rutter's popular hymns are included here. "O be joyful to the Lord" and "All things bright and beautiful", a popular children's hymn done here by adults, follow "Wings of the morning" on tracks 5-7. Others you may have performed in church represented here are "O clap your hands", "Lord make me an instrument of your peace", "For the beauty of the earth", "Look at the world" and "The Lord bless you and keep you" among the 21 assembled hymns.

While The Cambridge Singers, on their Web site, identify themselves principally as an a capella group, I was pleased when I received this CD to find all the hymns supported by a full orchestra, the esteemed City of London Sinfonia. The renditions are uniformly lovely although some listeners may find the singing a bit on the white side lacking brilliance and individuality. Everything is done in keeping with Rutter's score markings and style.

The recording tends to be a little variable given the 20-plus year difference in performances. The most recent copyright listing is 2003, the same year "Wings of the morning" was published. I don't hear an appreciable difference in that recording than the others but still hear some age in older works.

If you seek a Rutter hymn collection you can't go wrong here. You have wonderful English performers mated to the composer in his more popular works. I'd recommend this without reservation to anyone seeking this collection.

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Brutal!.......2007-06-08

This album, AFI's 3rd, marked a huge change in the band's direction. Instead of fun skateboard punk, which they perfected in their 2nd album ANSWER THAT AND STAY FASHIONABLE, AFI switched gears and made their music much harder and more serious. SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND OPEN YOUR EYES rages, roars and rocks like no other AFI album -- Davey Havok screams half the lyrics, giving the songs more impact, and the music is simply brutal. The songs lack the soft, melodramatic goth parts common in the band's subsequent albums, making the hardcore music in SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND OPEN YOUR EYES even more relentless. The subsequent AFI albums have more breadth and are more radio-friendly, but none can match SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND OPEN YOUR EYES for its visceral punch. One of the great punk albums.

Decent for it's genre.......2006-11-12

I'm not too familiar with AFI's earlier stuff, the pre-Black Sails stuff. I liked Sing The Sorrow, Art of Drowning, and a few tunes off Decemberunderground. I realize they're fallen into a repetitive, radio-friendly, generic songs trap, but they have a way with melody that made many of their recent tunes awesome, despite being somewhat formulaic. My first impression, as the first track kicked in was this shares the sense of melody and songwriting proficiency with their recent work, but has an extra bit of fire fueling it, and is left a bit unpolished. With the first few tracks you can tell not all of them are going to sound the same, which is great, especially in this genre. It's worth listening to if you like any of AFI's other stuff, but it wont blow anyone's mind.

Afi's Harshest and Least Polished Work; Rage.......2006-10-23

Let me let you in on a little secret; all AFI is good. That's right ALL. Another secret; AFI is my favorite band of all time. Why? I'll show you.

'We are the Ones with the radiating eyes. We are the Ones who have a fire inside. We are the Ones only we can recognize. We've been rejected...'

...and that's the opening for this album, which is AFI's third. It's their harshest, angriest, meanest effort to date, and I don't think they will ever go back to this.

The sound? Fast and aggressive. The lyrics? Fast and pissed off! At one point, Davey's voice audibly cracks with the sheer rage-driven emotion that can't be found on any other AFI. Black_Sails_In_The_Sunset comes close, but it's better in other ways.

'Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Have you ever felt? Ever felt this way? Tainted with rage that you can't drain away or it will cost you your life.'...

...and that's the essesnce of this album. Davey Havok's lyrics are always poetic, unlike any other punk rock band anywhere, but here they trade in some of the band's later elloquence for sheer rage, and the result is an excellent, if slightly unpolished, representation of what the band has to offer.

So, if you like hardcore punk-rock, this is your AFI album.

And as for you who say AFI is not hardcore enough for you, go listen to harder music. If Slayer's Reign_In_Blood don't do it for you, try Converge's You_Fail_Me, or some Pig_Destroyer. But don't down a good band because they're not your kind of music.

For people who can appreciate AFI, and not just hardcore music, see also AFI-Black_Sails_In_The_Sunset, and AFI-The_Art_Of_Drowning. You won't be dissapointed.

PS For people new to AFI, I recommend starting at the middle with The_Art_Of_Drowning.

AFI's best...the AFI that could have been.......2006-07-28

well, in this day and age, i think most people heard AFI's music or at least know who they are. today, the only thing tying them to this release is davey havok's signature vocals and the three letters "AFI."

let me start by saying this. if you are a scenester kid who wants some mellow, depressing, self-loathing, and watered down goth lite type of music, stick with art of drowning, and the two follow-ups to that release. this album IS hardcore. great album to play at a super loud volume along with bands like 7 Seconds and Black Flag. perfect example of how hard this one is..the song "let it be broke." you know, the one that goes "i will release myself..." ..that song shreds!

i think i know why afi started to get worse after this. the addition of guitarist jade. i mean black sails is a good album, but with every album after this one, they grew worse and worse until they reached the point where they are today...cheesy enough to be placed alongside green day and godawful fallout boy...the sad thing is, they could have been great beyond recognition if they would have kept going in the direction that this album promised.

again, if you want hardcore/punk get this or anything before it. if your scenester, you probably are just reading this page because you hate it or loved the new stuff so much that you want to get the rest.

Loud, fast, agressive, and pissed off!.......2006-07-15

My God, I love this CD. I love AFI's punk stuff in general, but this has to be my favorite album by them. It's loud, fast, agressive, and pissed off! Everything a punk rock album should be. The lyrics are also very well written, and they're almost poetic. Not quite. AFI really started getting poetic with 'Black Sails in the Sunset', which is this band's second best. Anyway, the best songs on here would definately be 'Today's Lesson', 'The Devil Loves You', 'pH Low', 'Lower Your Head And Take It In The Body', 'Three Second Notice', and 'Third Season'. Definately reccomended to ALL punk rock fans. New scene-emo AFI fans, you probably won't like this at all. Haha.

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

Album Description

The definitive collection of performances by the Grammy nominated singer features 43 tracks from 14 albums released by Elektra, Elektra Nonesuch, and Atlantic labels from 1987-1996. Plus 8 previously unreleased live tracks only available here 'Rhode Island is Famous For You', 'S Wonderful', 'Alexander's Ragtime Band', 'I Love A Piano', 'Patisserie', 'Get Out And Get Under The Moon' (with Page Cavanaugh), 'Love Is Here To Stay' & 'Violin' (with Liza Minnelli). 2 Digipacks housed in a slipcase with a booklet.

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.

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!

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!

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!

Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ".......2006-09-12

This is the "Merry Widow" with English translation by Christopher Hassel sung by June Bronhill. I loved this rendition ever since I first heard it in about 1960. What's to love? First the translation is the best I've heard. The language doesn't sound "stilted" as some others. And, you can understand almost every word sung. Plus, the famous song, "Vilja" has some wording that moves me every time I hear it: The soprano sings, "Love me and I'll DIE for you!" with the word "die" somewhat emphasized. I don't know, there's just something "powerful" about someone saying they'd "die" for love! AND, at the end of "Vilja" the chorus and soprano raise to a crescendo hitting a high note together. In many renditions the chorus is heard but not the soprano on the final high note. In THIS version, the soprano, June Bronhill, can be heard rising to the final high note with an incressing crescendo and fortissimo louder than the chorus and holding the final high note---which gives a very thrilling effect as she holds that final note, I assure you!

The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, this CD is made in Holland and "there is one left" so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

After some extremely confusing personnel shakeups, the 1997 Yes configuration--including classic members Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, and Alan White, plus new keyboardist Billy Sherwood--emerged with this surprisingly strong effort that manages to maintain Yes's familiar prog-rock sound without making the band sound like a museum piece. New numbers like "New State of Mind," "Open Your Eyes," and "Fortune Seller" blend the band's progressive inclinations with solidly crafted melodies that place them among the band's catchiest creations. --Scott Schinder

In retrospect, it's not that bad........2007-06-27

I remember getting this CD when it first came out in 1997. I actually went to buy Keys to Ascension 2, their followup to their first combination live and studio release with the classic lineup of the 70's. I was surprised to see this one on the shelf along side it, but as a Yes fan, I couldn't resist picking it up as well.

I listened to Keys 2 first, because it had all the classic elements that I wanted to hear in a Yes album and, of course, loved it. But when I got to this album, I was disappointed when I noticed Rick Wakeman wasn't on it. And who is Billy Sherwood? I gave it a shot, and was quickly disappointed. I felt like Yes was trying too hard to recapture their 80's pop sound. It genuinely sounded like an album that should have come out in 1985, not 1997. It was too poppy, and there were many songs that sounded sappy and cheesy. I didn't outright hate it, as it did have some really good moments, and an undeniable Yes sound. But it was just so disappointing because I thought Yes was moving away from this kind of music and closer to their prog roots.

Well, I just listened to again recently, and it's a lot better than I remembered it. Yes, it still sounds like an album that should have come out in the 80s, and it's nowhere's near as good as their classic prog stuff from the 70s. But it also sounds ... fresh. Which is a bit strange considering the band were 30 years old at this point. But it sounds more fresh than the studio stuff on Keystudio, and the vocals actually sound better than they do on most recent Yes albums.

I've noticed that one of the reasons I don't like recent Yes albums as much as older Yes albums is because of the vocals. While I still love Jon's voice, I feel his style more recently has deteriorated on the newer songs. He still sounds great as always when he sings the old stuff, but on the more recent songs, something just doesn't sound right. He tends to sing a lot more than he did on the older albums, where he used to let the instruments take over for long passages, and he also tends to sing more repetitively. It does get a little grating at times, unfortunately.

This album actually doesn't have that problem. Well, it does a little bit, but I think Sherwood's influence actually helped this album subdue it a bit. Hopefully, Yes will put out another Yes album and Jon will let the instruments play more of a lead role. Time will tell. In the meantime, give this one a shot and try to put all preconceptions aside.

What happened ?.......2007-03-07

After the incredible studio songs of keys to Ascension Vol 1 and 2, we were waiting for something great to come out from their next cd.
Surprise ! Maybe the worst Yes album since Tormato or Big Generator.
Is the band out of inspiration ? Surely not, their next album, "The ladder" succeeded where "Open your eyes" failed, in the same style...
The only good track is the opening one ""New state of Mind", the rest is so-so....I am deceive but I forgive them, they haven't deceive me very often :)

The best album since "Big Generator".......2007-03-05

Forget that "Talk" even happened, as Yes finally gets back to the progressive rock roots, and delivers us a strong album. Gone are the soft rock radio songs, and Guitars and Drums hit you like and make you feel like your right back in the 1970's. This album is so impressive, since the band has released so many albums, that buy the time you are in your 50's (god they might even be in their 60's) its difficult to put out a good album because of the danger of sounding stale. Yes fans should love this one, and even though its no "Going for the One" or "Fragile" its a strong effort, and I give it even more praise just because they still rock at their age. ENJOY!

WHY ARE YOU A YESFAN?.......2006-10-12

Why does it seem to me that most YESFANS hate half of their music? YES continues to polarize their fan base again with this recording. Maybe it's because they were once Prog Rock Gods and have evolved into a more mainstream sound that doesn't put out 20 minute musical Epics anymore. Why are people are always shocked by what YES does next? Why isn't Wakeman on this? Why does it sound like Squire's music? Why doesn't it sound like CLOSE TO THE EDGE? Trevor Rabin isn't Steve Howe. Why are you listening to this band at all? Do you even understand the changing nature of your own life? A fundamental flaw in human beings is fear of change. Why does this band change all the time? Why doesn't this sound like TALES or 90125? I guess some fans have not been listening to CHANGES from 90125. Life is about change. Nothing lasts forever and nothing stays the same. Someday you will die. Someday I will die. And someday the members of YES will die. Enjoy them while you can as they continue to evolve and put out new recordings. And be grateful that they may have touched your life at all. Someday, 500 thousand years into the future, people on this planet may never know that a band called YES even existed. For the moment we, in this time, have YES!! Thank God!! I don't know what I'd do without my YES music.

The reason I listen to YES is that their music is always majestic and uplifting. The three constants of this band are the great musicianship, the great singing and harmonies, and the positive spiritual lyrics in the form of Jon's wonderful poetry. And I take umbrage to the quote by one fan in his Spotlight review: "Jon's new-age cosmic jive lyrics." And he compares YES to The Beatles. Huh? What the...? C'mon, how do you draw that comparison? Because there are harmonies? Then he says, "SOMEHOW, SOMEDAY is filler." Please, it's the best track on the album and reminds me of Jon's epic HEARTS!! You don't understand YES at all!! Even though he's been called "The Little Tyrant" by members of the band because he's a perfectionist, you should know BY NOW that Jon Anderson is a very gentle soul and his spiritual lyrics have always been about LOVE and so-called "new age" themes. Jon is spiritual, not religious. And spiritually open minded people are always tagged with that new age label. It's unintelligent and cliche. The world needs MORE people like Jon!! What band has this guy been listening to all these years!?! If his lyrics are "new age cosmic jive" to you, why are you even listening to YES? Go buy and listen to Marilyn Manson or Death Metal if this kind of artistry puts you off. I don't get it. (By the way, I've met Jon and he's a very giving and kind soul. Just as you'd expect.) There is far too much talk of this kind coming from so-called YESFANS. Hand in your fan club membership, I absolve you of your fan status. I'd hate to sit next to a fan like this at one of their shows. Please, if you don't like YES music, just say so. Why do you keep buying their music? When I stop liking a band, I certainly don't continue to buy their music and then write reviews about how bad it is. Stop telling the band what they should and shouldn't be doing with their music. And stop telling the fans this song is no good because it's doesn't sound like some other song and the lyrics are too "new age." I'm tired of this kind of armchair criticism. Unfortunately, a lot of so-called YESFANS are negative close minded human beings. Those fans who profess a liking for a band like YES, that sing of LOVE in such profound ways, sure have trouble spreading that word around.

Is this a good album? By all means, this is an Underrated YES recording. It's as GOOD as any other YES album in my collection. I listen to it just as much as any other YES album I own. It matches all the criteria for me to consider it a GREAT YES album. The production is LOUD and POWERFUL. Great musicianship, great harmonies, and uplifting lyrical themes. What more do you want? It's just music, my friends. And very good music at that. It's not TALES. It's not 90125. It's not GOING FOR THE ONE. And it's not CLOSE TO THE EDGE. It is however, OPEN YOUR EYES!! And it's great!! Repeat after me, OPEN YOUR EYES!! YES!! Open your eyes to another great YES album!! You might find something positive and uplifting in it. And isn't that why you listen to YES? All you negative fans should give up this band, stay away, and leave our YES alone. Real YESFANS like them just the way they are.

To all the fans who continually rag on and on about Jon and his lyrics or his singing, (that Jon "sings too much" is another common complaint that I'm tired of hearing), find another band to praise. Jon Anderson and his ART are the SPIRITUAL CENTER and HEART of YES!! Learn it, know it, live it.

Get this. IT'S A CLASSIC!! no matter what the haters may say. Much LOVE to all REAL YESFANS!! I feel your pain. Oh, well. At least some of the fans GET IT!! I hope you get it too. Sorry about the harangue. But, I'm sick of reading these crappy reviews.

ENJOY.

A fine cd with excelent songs by YES!!!!!.......2006-02-25

This is one of Yes underrated cds not only because when it was released, it lacked good promotion and distribuition by the record company. It was a very hard to get cd by one great band.
This cd is the first without TREVOR RABIN, but sounds as he is still there. This cd has a "brother" cd very similar in sound and songs to a solo cd by bassist Cris Squier and guitarr player and producer Billy Sherwood.

This collection of songs by YES mix the sound the band had with TREVOR RABIN with the old sound as a so called progressive band.
The best song is "Open Your Eyes", but also the rest of the cd stands out well. The only observation i have is that if you listen to it completely you somehow get lost even tho Bassist Cris Squire gets the chance to sing on a couple of songs. Other good songs are "Fortune Teller", "Universal Garden" and the bautiful "Wonderlove". This is a very satisfying cd. GET IT!

Only the shrewdest music fan will remember that Goldfinger once threatened to trouble artists like No Doubt and Sugar Ray on the charts. The band's commercial stock has dipped since the runaway success of 1996's smirking ska-punk hit "Here in Your Bedroom," but, despite several key lineup changes, the members have worked hard to maintain a respectable level of belligerence in their music. If they were only younger and worked off those beer guts (and perhaps wore less clothing) they would undoubtedly give Blink-182 chase with adrenaline-packed songs like "Open Your Eyes" and "SpankBank." And if all were right in the world, "F*** Ted Nugent" ("I wish that he'd be gone / Chauvinistic Republican kills animals / He forgot how to write a song") would find a comfortable home on TRL. --Aidin Vaziri

Better Than Expected........2005-11-21

After reading a few reviews on how this is a disapointing album and not catchy i was drawn away from buying it, but, i love goldfinger and have ever since back in 1999 when i played the first tony hawk game i heard "superman" and fell in love with it. So, i saw this at cd wharehouse for 5 bucks so i picked it up just so i could give it a shot because its goldfinger. From the first track i really enjoyed it. It has alot of upbeat songs and few slow ones. IT could be a little better but its still good old goldfinger, but with no ska at all, i still like this though. I really enjoyed the 2 tracks "Going Home" and "FTN" because they were very fast and upbeat with great lyrics and especially on FTN, the lyrics were hilarious. WEll overall i liked this album and its not there best, but it is a good listen. I also look forward to purchasing Stomping Ground and Hng-Ups because as of now i only own this album, Open Your Eyes, and the Self-Titled.

This CD Brings Me Back..........2005-02-19

There is nothing special about this cd, it's simple, catchy, fun pop-punk. However, I listened to this cd during a somewhat rough time in my life, and I must say, it really helped me get through it. Now, whenever I listen to it, it brings back such a nostalgic feeling, and I love that. This is a great summer album. Don't expect too much from it, and you will enjoy it.

My favorite CD.......2004-11-25

Excellent lyrics, excellent beats. This is the goldfinger CD to buy, do NOT buy "Darin's Coconut Ass" because it's really bad compared to this.

Goldfinger-Open your eyes.......2004-08-22

When i first heard this CD was coming out i thought it would be a little more metal, but not at all. It is pop punk, or punk rock. They took the whole vegitarian thing a little too far, but it doesnt effect how good the music is. Its definatly official, goldfinger has no ska left in them, which kinda sucks. The Best songs are spokesman, descision, tell me, radio, and FTN. FTN is a really funny song that cusses about 50 times in a minute. Id say if you like any other goldfinger you'd like this too, even tho its slighty changed. You will also like this if you like Offspring, Green Day, or good charlotte. Overall this is a good, more mature sounding goldfinger CD.

Beauty then, beautiful now.......2005-07-28

Owned this recording as a record 25 years ago. Bought it again as a CD because it is so beautiful and am happy to have the sounds back in my life.

Much like the artist herself..........2002-05-20

...this album has aged well. I like it much more now than when it was released. And speaking of released, this is her comeback album after doing time at Terminal Island. So as you might expect, it's particularly joyous and free; two adjectives often associated with Flora. Although it has a much different feel, it shares with Wayne Shorter's "Native Dancer" Americans and Brazilians working together wonderfully. Hermeto Pascoal is dynamite here.

Flora's masterpiece.......2001-06-16

For decades, Flora Purim has been the Queen of Brazilian Soul. Open Your Eyes You Can Fly stands as her masterpiece. She recorded it in 1976, following her 18 month prison term for alledged drug possession. And, boy, does she ever feel free. This album has only recently beome available on CD. It was worth the wait; the CD mastering is superb.

A dream band backs Flora, including her husband, Airto; George Duke on keyboards; Flora's mentor, the peerless Hermento Pascoal on flute and keyboards; the great Ron Carter sits in on bass for "san Fransisco River", one of the many highlights (there are so many highlights it's hard to choose). But the young, underrated Alphonso Johnson, on acoustic and electric bass, is the album's secret weapon.

Not only is this one of the great jazz albums of the Seventies (a wildly underrated and misunderstood decade for jazz), this is one of the great albums - period - of th Seventies. This album certainly sits in the Pantheon of my favorite albums of this period. While, over a quarter-century later, Open Your Eyes You Can Fly has well stood the test of time, I think you will also find it delightfully, immediately accessible; it's one of those rare music masterpieces of which both can be stated. Enjoy!

A Jazz-Fusion Classic.......2000-07-17

Flora Purim, who is recognized more frequently as having a strong connection to husband Airto, and Chick Corea and Return To Forever, released a conceptual solo album in 1976 entitled "Open Your Eyes You Can Fly." The cover and album title speak of one main focus, freedom. This is in a literal and real life sense for Purim. She had just been released from a prison term on drug charges.

Each song is a celebration of life and the freedom that can be found, if one opens their eyes to see. George Duke and Airto, among others, add their strong presence to this effort. Purim has an angelic and airy vocal style that endears you to her anthem and music. She uses many resources by accessing her cultural roots, and musical background to brew a stew of Latin-progressive-jazz that defies categorization and genre placement.

The essence and core of Purim's being is found interlaced amongst the musical meandering and transitory complexities of jazz. Freedom, and the celebration that's found in the music, has a firm foothold on this entire session. At times you will hear her singing like a beautiful songbird taking flight, or using her voice as an instrument rather than relating a message through her own words. The music and sound of her vocalizations clearly declare her new found freedom and rebirth into humanity.

Latin music and jazz are not strange bedfellows; they can lay side by side, or conveniently depart to go in any direction without breaking the ties that hold them together. Visually you will see how the concept of this whole project becomes a reality with the all change and celebration going on all around it. The music and words are separate entities, yet they consummate a partnership by making both factors proportionate to each other. Music like this is further proof that it should be acknowledged as a sentient being. It all takes on a meaning and life of it's own with the help of Purim's individuality and expressiveness.

The percussion and strings enhance the listeners experience and give the music a strength and mystical element heretofore not found in other music. What's so interesting and absorbing about this music is they way it changes it's flight so rapidly without ever falling. Progressive jazz normally has odd time signatures provoked by the shouting rock elements. This doesn't happen at all during these sessions. The lead guitar is clear, clean and focused when exploring the electric aspects of the style. All the instruments, along with Purim's lovely voice becoming one with the soundscape, will hold you glued to the speakers until the curtain falls.

Climb aboard, the freedom train is ready to carry you to wherever your heart desires.

Flora's Freedom Flight.......2000-06-08

It's about time that this jewel was released on CD. This was Flora's freedom flight in the USA and it contains the distinct bass signature of master Alphonso Johnson. This recording was there to help define the Fusion era and it contains the best elements of that period. The title track will stick in your mind for days. Flora is at her best chasing wordless vocals. Her voice is still pure bliss to hear. A great addition for lovers of Chick Corea's earlier RTF and Weather Report. Enjoy!

The new song is pretty awesome. The remixes leave a bit to be desired, and considering the album version and the single version are practically the same... I wouldn't really spend the money on it, unless you're collecting their CD's or something. Like any single, it's the same song over and over again... I suggest you grab the new CD instead!

A taste of what's to come..........2005-07-23

After succumbing to the spellbound offerings of _Apaika_ and _Faery Child_, it was impossible not to become caught in the sweepingly dark melodies The Dreamside created. Blessed with wonderful musicians and a strong female vocalist that's neither harsh nor too ethereal, their lyrics/music is a perfectly hypnotic blend of Gothic Rock with mystical world rhythms, and "Open Your Eyes" (the first single from their fifth full-length album that is also a duet with Rogue of The Cruxshadows) follows in much the same vein.

This really is a must-have for fans because not only does it feature "Open Your Eyes" but "Spin Moon Magic" is another track included here, and the single contains remixes by Blutengel and Lunascape too. There's even a multimedia file that's got several wallpapers and a making of the "Open Your Eyes" music video, which looks like the normal happenings you'd expect to see at some Gothic nightclub with live performers (you know...the atypical black leather pants, sexy corsets, fishnets, lots of fire, a fog machine...you get the idea). However, if you wish to see the COMPLETE video, make sure and buy Asleep By Dawn's _Sleepwatching_ DVD Sept. 20th!
