Editorial Reviews
Sante Fe New Mexican
"A very technical approach to emo and post-hardcore, borrowing heavily from math rock (start/stop rhythms) and metal..."

Product Description
New Ruins is an indie, mathy, emotive rock album. Recorded in Eudora, KS with Ed Rose at Black Lodge Recording, the album is the first nationally distributed release for The Kidcrash. Influenced by a wide range of music varying from bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, early Jimmy Eat World, Mineral, Braid, Minus The Bear, Cursive and Park. The Kidcrash hope to remind and inspire everyone who listens to their music why they play and why you should start. 'New Ruins' is The Kidcrash's attempt to fill the silence that so many choose to fill with talk about music when we really should be letting it speak for itself.

5 out of 5 stars DON'T HESITATE TO BUY THIS CD.......2001-12-28

What can I say other than this is a great CD. Beethoven was a master and his music will live forever. Altough I don't like every single symphony he composed, I love all the pieces on this album. These selections have "fire and passion," and I listen to them over and over again. Enjoy!!

5 out of 5 stars Beethoven have you gone mad?.......2006-10-05

If you're not sure that you like Beethoven or maybe you're just a casual listener and you want a cheap cd with some of his best work then this is the cd for you. This is a very good cd, the musicianship is good, and the sound quality is also good so don't think that you will be getting a below average cd because of cheap price. The music on the cd is just awe inspiring. It caries so much power and emotion with it that you can't help but feel something from it, whether it be joy, sadness or a sense of power. This isn't the type of music that should be played in the background because it just grabs your attention and doesn't let it go until the very end. So in short if you don't have any Beethoven music then you should get this cd and send me a thank you card for reccomending this to you.

5 out of 5 stars best of the "best of Beethoven" compilations.......2006-03-20

A great investment to get your classical music library going. Hits all the big ones - the ubiquitous first movement of the 5th symphony, the Vivace and "Ode to Joy" Choral from the 9th, the "Moonlight" Sonata and Fur Elise, Eroica, and, just for fun, the Turkish March from Ruin of Athens. Everyone's heard snippets, but for those looking to get a bit more in-depth, this CD's a great way to go. Good performances by the Boston and New York Philharmonics and talented individuals such as Emmanuel Ax. Sound quality is respectable as well.

It's hard to imagine how someone could not be inspired by Beethoven's art. Listening to the Ninth is a transcendent experience if ever there was one. The music carries emotions that we try to give labels to such as joy, grief, and wonder, but the music defines them so much better than words. In any case, I was asked to review the CD not Beethoven - so, in short, this is a very good CD!

5 out of 5 stars Very Very good.......2001-12-27

Excellent CD along with Mozart in the same series.
All were momentous pieces espcially 5th and 9th symphony.
I bought this CD as a beginner and did not liked the 9th very much. But when I saw Stanley Kubrick's film "Clockwork Orange". I was truly amazed at the power of this 9th symphony especially the Molto Vivace and Ode to Joy of the Finale.Zubin mehta's performance was very good. Excellent Buy.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Introduction to Beethoven.......2000-12-31

This cd is a wonderful way to get acquainted with the brilliant works of Beethoven. This one, as well as the other classical music cd's in the RCA Victor series, is a great beginning to a long and enjoyable journey through the world of classical music.

5 out of 5 stars An Ideal Beethoven Collection for the Non-Fan.......2000-01-19

If you're not a major classical music fan (and frankly, I can't see one considering this album), but looking to add some Beethoven to your collection, this is probably your best bet. Several movements from his best-known symphonies (and pretty much everyone knows Symphonies 5 & 9), as well as the "Moonlight Sonata" and other works. Take a quick listen to the samples - if you like what you hear, toss it into your cart!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars I can name that tune in three notes.......2005-02-19

My family likes to put this disc in on shuffle and play name that tune. I wish they made more discs like this, only with more obscure works.

5 out of 5 stars A Fabulous CD.......2004-10-14

The Idiot's Guide to Calssical Music is an awesome Cd for those people who want to have a tiny sample of all the great classical compositions. Track 61 and 63 are my favorite.

5 out of 5 stars Mega-Sampler! This really does have 99 tracks!.......2002-03-20

Yes, this CD really does have 99 tracks. How do they do it? Each is about a minuet long. Some are longer, some are shorter, but you get the micro-essential moments of the music.

If you like burning your own CDs, then this is a great source for intra-track fillers, along the lines of They Might Be Giants' "Apollo 18" album, which has all of those short tracks on the end. The idea is to put your CD player on shuffle, so the short tracks get mixed in with the bona fide songs. The result being a very unusual album.

The booklet gives an explanation of the track, where you heard it (i.e. the Warner Brother's Cartoons, or on famous films), and where you can get the full piece of music. So it's a mega sampler CD.

I can honestly say that this CD is a great gift for the friend who has everything.

5 out of 5 stars Fun Sampler.......2001-11-09

For the beginner. You will be surprised at how many of the 99 themes you recognize here. It is an easy introduction to classical music. Nice booklet too.

5 out of 5 stars Useful........1999-03-22

Take it for what it is, a clever and useful GUIDE to classical music. No, it is NOT an uncut rendition of Beethoven's 9th symphony. It IS a cd that will jog your memory. You have heard many of the tunes presented here, but not always knowing what the work was. This is your chance to catch up with all the great classical music you have been exposed to. Cheap too.

Album Description

New work from master songwriter Bonnie Hayes. Touching, tragic, melancholy, humorous, ironic, literary, melodic and it ROCKS. A joyous marriage of lyric and melody in the service of the vagaries of modern life. This CD is relentlessly honest, jubilant and tragic. Includes the rocking opener "Beautiful Ideal", "Greener Grass" which may be the ultimate infidelity song, the hypnotic "Keeping the Hum Going" and the painfully comic "Money Makes You Stupid".

5 out of 5 stars This music rocks!.......2003-10-27

Once you buy Love In the Ruins, it will quickly become the soundtrack of your life. Whatever you're feeling---ecstatically angry or mesmerizingly confused---this music will match your mood.

Bonnie Hayes' songwriting style is both intelligent and amusing. Her songs are bawdy, caustic, and celebratory and her vocal range is incredible. Ms. Hayes is able to hit those high notes in one moment, then sing in a low and sultry voice the next moment.

This CD is a party waiting to happen. You should buy it---people will suddenly like you and think you're cool!!

5 out of 5 stars A serious, logical, and objective review.......2003-09-08

Lessee...What sort of strange chimera might describe Bonnie's music?...certainly some Alfred E. Neuman, what she worry: there's always some fun to be found....some Rundgren-like love of harmony and some occasional acerbic wit like, uh, John Palumbo w/Crack the Sky (there's a rare reference for you music lovers)...maybe some Steve Miller (early) for the joy of rock and some Steve Morse, not for technique, but for the love of beautifully arranged music...lots of her own bad self, flat out musical charm, chops, intelligence...and um, maybe those kids on that Star Trek episode where just the kids survived and they went bump bump on Captain Kirk's head, and surely some Peter Pan....

You can tell this music makes me happy. I like to turn it up to 11 and sing along. Don't be too surprised......

Add this one to your collection. And like the other guy said: See her and her band of merrymakers live, it's like swimming with dolphins ...

4 out of 5 stars Bright guitar rock in the Sheryl Crow-Tom Petty vein.......2003-06-25

I've been a Bonnie Hayes fan since I first heard "Shelly's Boyfriend" on the radio in 1982, and her "Good Clean Fun" album is still one of my all-time favorites. Her musical style has changed a lot from her new wave days, but she's as sharp a songwriter as Aimee Mann. I bought this CD along with new albums by other old favorites Richard Thompson and Procol Harum, and I'm enjoying this album more than the other two.

This album rocks a lot more than 1996's "Empty Sky". Bonnie's been working on her guitar playing since then; her keyboards only make a few cameos here. The result is bright California pop-tinged guitar rock in the Sheryl Crow-Tom Petty vein. There are several songs about aging without necessarily becoming mature: "I Can't Stop", "Keeping the Hum Going", and "Still Wild" ("I'm still wild -- wilder still, now that I don't have a future to kill"). The latter two are my favorite songs here, along with sort-of love song "Stealing Roses". Hayes doesn't let herself off the hook any more easily ("I am reckless and I'm greedy/And I am hungry and I'm needy") than loser lovers ("Greener Grass") and ex-lovers ("Money Makes You Stupid"). In "Everybody Wins", Hayes stresses the importance of denial. Hayes' brother Kevin is the drummer on the album, and Bonnie co-produces with Steve Savage, who's been her producer for over 20 years now.

(1=poor 2=mediocre 3=pretty good 4=very good 5=phenomenal)

5 out of 5 stars Stunning - Bonnie Hayes is the real deal.......2003-06-02

I saw Ms Hayes last night at Sweetwater in Mill Valley. She played
for 2 1/2 hours straight and nearly caused the place to meltdown.

She did most of the songs on this album - i don't know if i have ever
seen a more outstanding songwriter / performer / band. This CD is just great.

The only thing better than this CD is to see Bonnie live.
Don't choose - do both!!

4 out of 5 stars Worthy...but not superior.......2007-04-15

I already own the original-issue MCA/Decca studio recording CD as well as the Film Score Monthly soundtrack CD for this rousing good score, so for the completist in me, I bought the NAXOS/Marco Polo digital re-recording.

It's a worthy effort, but the performance lacks the "enthusiasm" of the originals. I just didn't "feel it," even with the always-excellent recording standards of the Stromberg/Morgan team. This is most evident during the spiritual passages and particularly during the two Hymn to Aton sequences, where neither the glory nor the tragedy comes across.

No slam at the Soviet chorus (they've proved themselves well enough in other projects), but their accents on the English text really became distracting on this disc.

Also, the balance between the orchestra and the chorus is variable at best and at times the brass lines drown out the parts where the chorus is supposed to be prominant.

On the plus side, the liner notes for this CD were excellent and very informative. At 71 minutes, the addition of so much extra music not found on the original studio recording was welcome; and to have it presented in a "cleaner" digital version than on the FSM soundtrack CD was nice (though I hasten to add that the FSM disc is still THE recording to get).

Overall, a useful addition for completists or those who can't afford the higher-priced studio or soundtrack recordings, but just be aware that some of the "heart" is missing from this one.

2 out of 5 stars Long Live "The Egyptian"!.......2006-02-17

I was extra glad to find this classic for sale through Amazon.

I have loved the movie since I was a little tyke, and after well over a thousand (Yes, 1000!) viewings have caused me to wear out copies of it firstly on Beta, and two subsequent copies on VHS (all self-taped from TV).

The CD of the Soundtrack by Herrmann and Newman is superb, and is every bit as fresh and melodic as it was in 1954 when it accompanied / complimented the film.

The 11 tracks by Alfred Newman are highlighted to indicate their different origins when compared to the bulk of the work by Bernard Herrmann, but the whole CD just blends into a seamless work, almost in the style of a tone poem. The tracks are all there, and it is a delight to listen to them in their full orchestral versions, rather than the snippets that you can hear (tantalising though they are) on the film soundtrack, cluttered up with dialogue and sound FX.

I would recommend this CD to anyone who has fond memories of the film, or admires the work of Herrmann and/or Newman.

(Would also like to see a CD made of Herrmann's music to "Journey to the Centre of the Earth"..........

3 out of 5 stars Mummified Music.......2005-12-11

What we have here is a film-score rarity from several perspectives. First, it's a composition co-created by two of the titans of classic-film music, Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Newman. However, there does seem to be much in the way of (or any) cue-by-cue collaboration; the result, unsurprisingly, is not particularly seamless. Mr. Herrmann is credited with independently writing (and conducting) the bulk of the cues--about two thirds of the score. Second, I would not call the score for 1954 film THE EGYPTIAN (TE) "a classic" (the same applies to the film). Not wishing to engender yet another debate over what constitutes "a classic" score or film, to my ears the score for TE is predominately colorless and undistinguished. To be blunt, the music is deadly dull. In this regard, the score mirrors the film which is also a dud! (On this, I can speak from some atmospheric experience, having spent time in Egypt.) And third, the marginal quality of the cues is a major surprise and disappointment given the immensity of the creative talent. Even legendary composers can have bad hair days! On a brighter note, Messrs. John Morgan and William Stromberg, who are unsurpassed masters of film score restoration, reconstruction, arrangement, and presentation, have once again worked their magic with this CD. Their combined execution is stunning, but I sure wish they had tackled a different project. The CD booklet is principally authored by Jack Smith. His analysis of each track is singularly lacking in musicality. He mostly just summarizes what's happening on screen. Mr. Smith also writes that "(w)hen THE EGYPTIAN premiered, critics were polite ... ticket sales were nowhere near the expected box-office tally ... (and the film) then settled into oblivion." Fortunately, the booklet contains a short essay by Mr. Morgan ("Arranger's Notes") and some brief comments by Mr. Stromberg ("Conductor's Note") which are far more informative reads. There is also a rare photograph of Messrs. Morgan and Stromberg slaving over a hot piano. By itself, almost worth the price of admission! The CD is a re-release at "popular prices" of the original which is on the Marco Polo label.

4 out of 5 stars A Film Score by Both Hermann and Newman.......2005-05-08

Very unusually Darryl Zanuck assigned this film score to two of 20th Century Fox's stable of composers, one very established, Alfred Newman, and one a newcomer who was gaining a reputation as a superb writer, Bernard Herrmann. This was for expediency's sake because Newman was also involved at the same time in writing the score for another movie in production, 'There's No Business Like Show Business.' And, in fact, Herrmann wrote most of the score, although some of the cues had melodies written by Newman but expanded and orchestrated by Herrmann; each of those cues had the notation 'music developed by Bernard Herrman from themes composed by Alfred Newman.' (It is of note that Newman did not do any of his own orchestration, leaving that to Edward Powell; Herrmann did all his orchestrations.) Herrmann and Newman each conducted some of the original sound track recording. What is amazing is that there is no fault line between the music written by Newman, a composer of the old Austrian high-romantic camp, and Herrmann, whose style ultimately developed along much more advanced lines (witness his score for 'Psycho').

The movie itself was one of those blood-and-sandal epics so beloved by Hollywood in the 1950s. And it was one of the very first Cinemascope extravaganzas. It was not much of a movie, starring a cipher of an actor, Edmond Purdom. And the story isn't much, either. The music, accordingly, partakes rather too much of the faux-oriental style so familiar from such movies. Still, there are some really memorable passages, particularly those that are of the more intimate scenes. The love scene--the cue is titled 'Her Name was Merit' -- features a really lovely alto flute and oboe d'amore theme with harp and string accompaniment. There are also some scenes of religious splendor -- e.g. Hymn to Aton -- that are also quite striking for all they owe to the temple scene of 'Aïda.'

The score was cut down somewhat for this CD. Originally there were about 100 minutes of music. Film music arranger John Morgan gets credit for making what turns out to be an effective 70 minutes of music that can stand on its own, absent the film. It is played more or less without pause, moving from one cue to the other seamlessly. Veteran film music conductor William Stromberg gets a fairly decent performance out of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra and Choir. This performance was originally issued in 1998 on the full-price Marco Polo label.

This score is a superior example of its type and it is given a creditable performance here.

Greinke trained as a weatherman; then he moved to Seattle above the Industrial District. And indeed, that is what this sounds like. Bridges, ships horns, aircraft, trains. Beacon Hill on a cloudy night can be spooky.
These two tapes when issued were a bold impetus to building the industrial/noise audience that led to shows like Hank's on KCMU. This is time-travelling at its best.

    5 out of 5 stars Weak film, great score.......2004-03-29

    The Egyptian has gone down in history as one of the more problematic 'sand and sandal' epics of the 1950s. Marlon Brando took a pass and the producers recast wooden Edmund Purdom in the lead. The film is stolen by Peter Ustinov (as the servant), with enjoyable support from Jean Simmons, the hammy Victor Mature, and Gene Tierney (on the edge of her nervous breakdown). But the restored music score on this CD shows the very best of the two collaborators: Alfred Newman and Bernard Herrmann. The mixture of their styles (Herrmann was brought on board to fill out the score) creates an intriguing musical narrative. Film buffs and classical music lovers should rejoice at this lushly-played and carefully re-constructed CD. Well supported with notes about the original score and their editing. I've had the disk since it came out and play it regularly. If you like either of the composers, you'll thoroughly enjoy.

    4 out of 5 stars Very good, but..........2003-02-23

    Easily one of the best Golden Age scores. This remarkable CD is quite good, the Moscow performance is rather good although arguably performed without that extra bit of energy that made the original so memorable. This CD includes lots of info on the film and score, which is fun to read, and features a lot of the score.
    However, if you really like this CD, I recommend checking out the FSM release of the original score. There are still many copies available, but it is a little more expensive. But for the completists out there (like me), that release is necessary.

    5 out of 5 stars A Classic Film Score.......2002-10-09

    For me, this is an especially welcomed soundtrack. Having grown up with film version of "The Egyptian" to finally be able to have the music from the film was a happy event. The film stands apart from other so-called Swords and Sand epics from a real attempt to convey the characters of the story with more depth. The soundtrack itself had to be reconstructed from the conductor's score in some cases but was a labor of love, as the results attest. The music to "The Egyptian" marked the happy collaboration by Alfred Newman and Bernard Herrmann, both very respected composers of film music. Together they manage to evoke a world long past.

    The recording by the Moscow Symphony conducted by William T Stromberg brings forth all of the passion and drama from the original score. Pains were taken to create the recording sound as per the indications of the composers. So in "Her Name Was Merit" the alto flute player sits 30 feet behind the oboe d'amore player. The results are stunning and a must have recording for anyone interested in the film or film music. The accompanying booklet has a great deal of information about the film as well as still photographs.

    4 out of 5 stars Herrmann and Newman make a great team.......2001-12-23

    The Egyptian is one of those scores that's more well known for reasons beyond the actual music it contains. In this case, it's the only time Alfred Newman and Bernard Herrmann worked on a score together. This 1999 re-recording features about 70% of the score, reconstructed and preformed by the always-excellent team of Morgan and Stromberg


    That it's more known for its history isn't to say that the music isn't good, because it is. The themes are all classic Newman lyrisism, and there are many wonderful Herrmann moments of...well....Herrmann-ness. Right from the start with the prelude, we get a great grand sweeping epic theme with full choir. Cues such as 'The Chariot Ride', 'The Pursuit' and 'Violence' are great bombastic trips,. And of special mention are the two longest cues -- 'Nefer Nefer Nefer' and 'Valley of Kings'. While the prior written by Herrmann and the latter by Newman, both are simply marvelous examples of grand romantisism the Golden Age is known for.

    Beyond the above, there isn't much to say. If you like Herrmann, this is a great addition, and the Newman contribution is great too. It's not the best score in the world, but there are far far worse choices out there.

Influenced by a wide range of music varying from bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, early Jimmy Eat World, Mineral, Braid, Minus The Bear, Cursive and Park. The Kidcrash hope to remind and inspire everyone who listens to their music why they play and why you should start. 'New Ruins' is The Kidcrash's attempt to fill the silence that so many choose to fill with talk about music when we really should be letting it speak for itself.

    4 out of 5 stars The what?.......2005-09-16

    Better than The Adultcrash, I suppose... unless the name has something to do with goats...

    Ahem. More to the point, this band is not so terrible as they're being made out to be. Truthfully, their sound has been previously homogenized by a drove of likeminded groups so gratuitously that the ratty crunch of distorted barre chords against lilting clean arpeggios seems almost as routine as morning birdsong, but fairly complex and harmonized pop melodies emerge via the subconscious that will stick inside your skull. Kind of like realizing that there's a bird out there that chirps a popular American folk song.

    The opening cut is the best, but the formula stays the same for all nine tracks of "New Ruins." Sinewy, shimmering clean, stop-start verses laden with intertwining harmony, interrupted at various points by Shaolin kick distortion crunch and the occassional breakdown.

    If that's your cup, take a sip.

    5 out of 5 stars Metal convert to Indie.......2005-04-04

    All I can say about this album, and this band is that they made me want to search for good music to listen to. They actually write themes reminiscent of classical music pieces into their music, creating fluid compositions throughout the album. The guitar work blows my mind, and the drums and bass never drop the rhythm. The music strikes me as some of the most innovative song writing I have heard in a long time. Everyone should give this band a listen.

    Take the catchiness, energy, and fun out of Taking Back Sunday or Saves the Day, and what have you got? The Kidcrash, a by-the-numbers emo-punk band out of Santa Fe that describes itself as "indie/guitar driven/mathy/emotive/rock." That description is as overblown as the pretentious
