Product Description
Akarma brings you another piece of essential rock history with Noel Redding's Road. Redding was also a member of the Noel Redding Band & Fat Mattress, not to mention Jimi Hendrix's astounding bassist. Recorded at Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles in 1972, the trio features Redding on bass, Rod Richards on guitar & Leslie Sampson on drums, with all three taking turns on vocals. A classic power trio whose only album finds itself at home in the heavy rock terrain, & which hasn't faded one bit in the past 30 years. A necessary tribute to these megaliths of rock. Miniature LP sleeve. Akarma. 2003.

Impressive.......2007-05-02

This is really a classic. The orchestrated live versions of the songs just sound incredible. It's a must have for any fan of Ye.

Brilliant, it's that simple. .......2006-05-15

This is the most amazing live hip-hop CD I have ever heard. The fact that it took a beat junkie like Ye to come up with something like this is NOT suprising in the least. It sounds a lot like the Live Portishead album of a while back. The string section does not overpower Ye and the beats, but take the songs to such a different place, it's mind blowing. The subtelty of it is amazing. I'm sure anyone checking this out is familiar with all of these songs, and this might not be up some peoples ally. But damn, It was recorded at Abby Road, you can almost hear John Lennon smile in the strings. This man will single handedly change hip-hop forever. Much like the Beatles changed pop music. Brilliant.

A Masterpiece.......2006-05-12

Once again Kanye returns with another gem...While not an official LP this Live Album recorded in the Abbey Road Studios home of the Beatles, takes Kanye and hip hop music to a whole new dimension...

From Track 1-13 all of Kanye's hits packed into one cd played exceptionally well backed by a 17 piece orchestra (hence "Late Orchestration") and special appearances from G.O.O.D Music including John Legend, GLC, Consequence, and also Lupe Fiasco on the Hit "Touch The Sky"...

Even if your not a hip hop or R&B fan you can still appreciate the music and the production layed out by Kanye...Still not sure why he didn't release this in the U.S. but for you true Ye fans this CD is also available on DVD packed with alot of extra footage of his 5 music videos off Late Registration, interviews, and never before seen footage...

Customer Reviews:

Soaring.......2005-08-23

Another soaring score from John Barry, whose fantastic music sounds better every time.
This soundtrack is a definite change in his style, and was followed up by Somewhere in Time and Out Of Africa. The three together are the best romantic scores to come out of the 1980's.

Flying over China.......2003-09-09

Does anyone remember "flying over Africa" from Out of Africa?
The flying scenes don't compare, but some may find High Road to Chinas' music soars even beyond. I do? John Barry's early music is his best. His more recent scores use the same style orcestrations showing that he has found a style that he loves and is sticking to it. His music doesn't surprise me any more, I always know when it's him. His older material is his most original and diverse. This one is just beautiful and would easily make any score fans' top 10.

Hauntingly beautiful........2003-07-15

The music from High Road to China, as presented on this CD, is simply outstanding, and is hauntingly beautiful. The music is evocative of scenes and situations in the movie, and I highly recommend buying the movie with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong, which I believe is available only in VHS format. I wish it were available on DVD.

Beautiful piece of work........2001-08-04

The soundtrack is truly magnificent. John Barry captured the beauty of the film and the chemistry between the characters with a piece of music so emotionally stirring it touches the very soul. Mr. Barry, I salute you.

John Barry Touches The Spirit.......2001-03-12

'High Road To China' is yet another lovely and poignant John Barry score to rejoice to or weep to. The music is marvelous, and the sound quality of this CD is excellent. John Barry shows us again in this soundtrack his extraordinary ability to score action and events not for what they appear to be on the screen, but from inside what the characters are feeling, wondering and deciding.

'Somewhere In Time', 'Out of Africa', 'Dances With Wolves' and 'High Road To China' all have that distinctive Barry flavor -- tender, moving, searching, reaching, evoking every deep emotion we've ever chosen to feel, his phrases, changes, harmonies and arrangements touching the essence of the questions we ask about life. And often rearranging our perspective in a way that helps us find better answers...

I admire Barry's courage in saying the same thing over and over -- that life can be successfully lived only through the heart, for living through the heart is the only way we ever learn who we are and why we are here. But he says it a little differently each time, touching new places in one's spirit. Sound intriguing? Buy all four soundtracks and you might find you play them often because his music gently opens your heart.

'High Road To China' is music that lives beautifully on its own. If you are willing to spend some time of your life feeling your feelings and letting the embracing and often haunting music take you where you will, John Barry is your friend.

Memorable.......2006-11-05

The talent of these two artists was blended well with the many songs of choice which only can be listened to again and again to enjoy and shared with others. It is timeless.

Playful, humble, and poignant love songs delivered masterfully.......2006-08-06

This CD is sublime, subtle, mature and sentimental. It's about love, growing older and the bittersweet of it all. It is masterful in the depths of poignancy it achieves through lyrical simplicity, as in the rockin' "This Is Us." It is playful in its passion: "Red Staggerwing" and "Belle Starr" and zen-like in questioning the value of the path one takes in life: "All The Roadrunning" and "Donkeytown." And there are the plain ol' fashioned, beautifully crafted, heart-tugging journeyman love songs like "I Dug Up a Diamond" and "Beyond My Wildest Dreams", as smooth and rich as velvet tapestries.

This is a recording that people will grow into, not grow out of.

The craftsmanship here is so humble yet so perfect the undiscerning or the impatient may overlook its richness, while others come back again and again, reaping the jewels.

There is cohesiveness that distinguishes this CD as a solid piece of enduring, wrought-iron art by two stellar musicians and not a strategic collection of of songs lashed together with a quickly fading silk ribbon marketing ploy called "duet".
The chemistry between Knopfler and Harris--again more subtlety, more understatement--is powerful and authentic, clearly grounded in something strong, something real, something of the earth, something that resonates mutual respect and the bittersweet of heartfelt emotions, hinting at feelings even deeper and more tender witheld from these tracks.

Artistic integrity has been a hallmark of the careers of both Knopfler and Harris. They are artists, not acts, and they are certainly masterful, journeymen musicians and this recording demonstrates this from beginning to end. It is tasteful, it is beautiful, it has its brights and darks and in-betweens and it bears repeated listens.

It also, admittedly leaves one wanting more, like a glittering Maseratti driving around city streets, prudently restrained, but rumbling with all the components, all the refinements and power begging to be let loose in wild abandon. This CD hints at even greater things bulging beneath the hood. And that's the way it is with most, if not all, great art.

I will consider this a classic.

Awesome music!.......2006-08-03

This is one of the most satisfying albums I've heard in years. Every song is unique, an original written by Mark Knoepfler, and Emmylou is at her best. You won't find one better than this. We've been playing it non-stop for over a month. Fabulous!

4,5 stars have a respect for this hard rock dinosaurus.......2004-08-18

if you are a die hard Deep Purple fan like some reviewers below and of course like me too! you will love this pearl collection songs of deep purple. The 4 discs are 24 bit remastered songs, some of the unreleased livesongs like stormbringer, wild dogs, lazy, fireball, Highway star are never issued on any cd format before.
Once again, the pearl collection songs are dedicated to "die hard and long time deep purple fans". If you arent! perhaps you know the only one song of DP such as Smoke on the water! then please keep away your fingers from this, because you won?t surely like them all. On the other hand, the most die hard DP fans would like the whole set for sure.
PS: do not forget to see the pretty photos of band members as sleeve in the boxset. You will love it!

this is deep purple.......2003-11-20

much better LIVE SHOW than Stones or beatles!
yes they're rocking more & are louder than Stones or beatles ever did on stage. The boxset has 32 songs as pearl or pots of gold. The line up from the band Mark II, III and IV songs are included in this exclusive set. You will be satisfied with the songs. I quarantee ya all!

Unusual collection of live Deep Purple.......2002-11-20

The liner notes say that this collection is "the story of Deep Purple on the road"...and so it is.Rather than a live greatest hits, this collection attempts to show DP in it's various incarnations(1968-1993), warts and all. Actually, the warts were few for me.The biggest complaint of mine is the apparently random sequencing and selections(just what the heck were they thinking?).This box set would've been better served had The Deep Purple Appreciation Society(who put this set together)taken less control of the packaging.The selection follows no rhyme or reason.Oh well.
Just in case you think these tracks are familiar versions, think again.Most are extended versions with nuances particular to the specific stage show performed at that time."DEEP PURPLE ON THE ROAD" serves as an excellent overview.
Another lesser complaint is the overall length of each cd. Average time= 60 minutes per cd (more or less).
But, all things considered, this is a solid collection with excellent sound.This box also contains a copious amount of liner notes worthy of a small book in itself.

Great Voice, Great Album.......2006-08-05

Loreena McKennitt's 1994 album, The Mask and Mirror, is a continuting improvement in musical arragements and choice of songs from her earlier albums - not that the previous albums were bad, but the combination of McKennitt's beautiful voice and the songs on this album make this set a much stronger musical effort. Particularly impressive are "Night Market in Marrakesh" and "Santiago." Also, the bonus/enhanced CD is definitely a bonus, as much of it deals with the making of this album. Those two songs in particular have stories behind them, why they were selected for this album and giving a flovor to the land that they were based on. In all, this is an excellent album.

LM Unplugged........2006-12-09

While perhaps not as well-known as her later releases, "Parralel Dreams" is still my favorite Loreena McKennitt CD. True, the production values are not as lush and exotic as her "The Mask and Mirror" and "The Book of Secrets" albums but in these songs her voice and harp are highlighted to hauntingly beautiful effect. While tackling such bleak themes as lost love, murder, homelessness, and torture, each song is sung with an emotional radiance that can send shivers down your spine and warmth into your heart. As Loreena says in her liner notes, "If there is a recurrent thread that runs through these dreams [songs], it is one of yearning toward love, liberty and integration." Now that the CD has been remastered for better sound quality AND includes a free DVD as well, no true Loreena McKennitt fan should be without this album. The DVD consists of a 30-minute short in which Loreena discusses her music and inspiration, 2 music videos, and selected musical samples from her albums. This DVD satisfies my (parallel?) dreams of both hearing and seeing LM doing what she does best. I've upgraded to this new edition; get yours while you still can!

Fusion music of nuance and mystery!.......2006-10-01

It is with this album that McKennitt's awesome talent as a composer/arranger truly finds that distinctive voice--somewhere in between Celtic, jazz, folk and world music--that is so prominent and beloved in her later work. Most of the music and some of the lyrics as well on "Parallel Dreams" are written by McKennitt in their entirety rather than being arrangements of traditional tunes or poems. There's still a sense of quiet restraint about many of the songs on this album, but this time it's underlain by a pregnant intensity of synth chords and percussion, released into the music just enough to give it an air of mysterious purpose without overwhelming McKennitt's ethereal vocals and nuanced harpistry. Guest musicians include Rick Lazar on udu drum and congas, Ratesh Dasj on tablas, guitarist Brian Hughes, violinist Oliver Schroer, cellist, bass and tamboura player George Koller, mandolin-player David Woodhead, piper Patrick Hutchinson, percussionist Al Cross, and Shelly Berger on pzud. Loreena McKennitt's previous album is "To Drive the Cold Winter Away," and the next one in the sequence, continuing her intriguing development as a composer, is "The Visit." I love everything she's ever done-- she's as true a talent and as creative a genius as you could ever wish for in a musician. But what impresses me most about her is how stirringly and satisfyingly her work has evolved over the years. She just keeps getting better and better! Try also the Celtic / folk / world music stylings of singer and multi-instrumentalist Kate Price and the work of dreamy vocalist / pianist Lydia McCauley.

Great Unconventional Holiday Music.......2007-01-02

Wow! Loreena McKennitt has such a beautiful voice paired with the harp that makes this a must have holiday album for those fully stocked on run of the mill Christmas music. Includes some traditional British carols not so familiar in the US and some winter-themed songs she wrote that are quite mesmerizing.

You do have to get past the fact that these aren't songs that Americans necessarily associate with Christmas to actually enjoy it as a "Christmas album," but it's worth buying if not just to pull out for a few weeks every year and enjoy the sheer beauty of the music.

Lovely music for the season, recorded in resonant halls.......2006-10-01

More gentle, clear-voiced beauty from vocalist/arranger/multi-instrumentalist Loreena McKennitt--this time a collection of rarely heard seasonal songs from England, Ireland and Scotland with a few original compositions thrown in for good measure. As with her prior album, "Elemental," McKennitt's arrangements here are filled with a spare but striking magic--in this case, reminiscent of the quiet stillness of a snowfall as it blankets the world in soft, crystaline white. The music was recorded in Annaghmakerrig, Ireland; Glenstal Abbey, England; and the Church of our Lady, Guelph (in Canada). In the album's liner notes, McKennitt writes, "as a child, my most vivid impression of music for the winter season came from songs and carols recorded in churches or great halls, rich with their own unique ambience and tradtition. In that spirit I have ventured into several similar locations that I have come to cherish in my travels ... The arrangements are sparse but somehow I felt that reflected the dynamics of the fall and winter seasons, and that their can be much beauty in such simplicity." I can't say it any better. Some of the songs are performed by McKennitt alone as harp-embellished vocals. Others feature understated harmonies and accompaniments by guest artists Shannon Purvis-Smith (viols) and Cedric Smith (vocals). If track #5, "Snow," sounds familiar, that might be because it also appears on one of McKennitt's later albums, "A Winter Garden." Loreena McKennitt's next album is "Parallel Dreams." Compare her work with that of rich-voiced singer Susan McKeown in "Lowlands" and the haunting a cappella ballads of Niamh Parsons in such albums as "Loosely Connected."

Customer Reviews:

A must-have for all loyal Bon Jovi fans.......2007-02-17

This CD/DVD combo is a re-release of the original "Crossroads" compilation. Disc #1 is the same, with 2 favorite added tracks: "In these arms" & "Never Say Goodbye". Disc #2 has bonus tracks, some tracks from the Box set & various other hits from Slippery When Wet & These Days. My favorite on disc #2 is "Blood on Blood" LIVE (from the New Jersey record).
The DVD is part of the Live from London concert already released earlier.
Its part of my collection, I've been a fan for over 20 years.

Decent - Could have been much better!.......2006-08-31

I bought this at Strawberries Records for $28.00. I bought it mainly for CD 2 of "rarities & B-sides". It contains some great songs but there are 4 songs that are not rare at all. In fact, 3 of these songs are from their biggest selling album so to say they are rare is crazy. "Wild in the Streets", "Diamond Ring", "Let it Rock" and "Raise Your Hands" are all studio versions found on the original releases. Why not put some more live songs for us?! CD 1 is the same as the one released in 1994 except "Prayer 94" is replaced by "In These Arms" and "Never Say Goodbye" is added making 15 tracks. Adding "Never Say Goodbye" makes total sense to me but I miss "Prayer 94", I thought it was a great version. Lastly, the DVD from Wembley seems a bit week, the sound is muddy (on my system anyway) and you have to really turn up the volume. I don't have the original release so I don't know if it's the same. Overall for the price I paid, I think it's good but improving on the above mentioned would have made it great.

Bon Jovi is always good!.......2006-01-10
