Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars great but not as good as early singles.......2007-04-08

this is a great album i dont need to buy it because i bought early singles. now if your thinking about buying this i think you'd be better off getting that plus this is only singles form 1967 its only 6 songs for 31 bucks! buy early singles im not saying this is bad but the price is way too much!

5 out of 5 stars now a must have esential piece of the floyd collection.......2006-07-15

I have had this particular cd in my collection about 8 years now. It is a good sample of the early works of floyd with Syd Barrett. Now that Syd has passed one into the Great Gig In The Sky, this is even more important to have in the collection because it keeps his music alive. The songs "candy on a currant bun", "apples and oranges", and "paintbox" are all difficult to find, and not on any of the official releases that i know of, so buy this album to help complete your collection.

5 out of 5 stars Syd Barrett, RIP.......2006-07-12

Syd Barrett will be greatly missed. His whimsical songwriting style was unique and greatly influenced many famous musicians like David Bowie. This cd is an essential purchase for those wishing a taste of genius.

5 out of 5 stars Pink Floyd - '1967 Singles Sampler' (EMI).......2006-03-03

This is a must-have for any and all true fans of early Pink Floyd.Either get this or the actual full length hard-to-find 'Singles' CD.For those of you who might still think 'The Wall' was Floyd's second album(I've come across a few),you have plenty of great music to catch up on.Welcome,my friends!You get Floyd's first three 7" singles on this CD reissue,both A+B sides.Tracks that are sure to please are "Arnold Layne",the catchy "Scarecrow",the obscure but nicely penned "Apples And Oranges" and "Paintbox".How about the cover?Isn't it priceless?Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Syd Shines On.......2005-07-12

I agree with the previous reviewer (Great Psychedelic Pop!) with a couple of small corrections/comments: I think it's a tambourine or another percussion instrument, not the cymbals, that's mixed too loudly in Apples And Oranges; and, Norman Smith (the EMI staff producer on most of these tracks) would have to be credited ahead of Rick Wright in shaping the overall sound in the studio at this point. For my money, however, Joe Boyd (their original producer) was the man they needed in the producer's chair for these early recordings.

I must add that Rick Wright showed great promise as a songwriter (and vocalist) here and on several other early tracks, but he seems to have been convinced by the other band members that his compositions, especially the lyrics, weren't very good. Too bad. I wish he'd been a little more assertive and stuck with it. He couldn't fill Syd's rather large psychedelic sneakers, but I enjoy his songs nonetheless.

Regarding the David Bowie, Marc Bolan, & XTC comparisons, I think all three have gone on record as citing Syd Barrett as a major influence. Bowie even did a version (a not very good one) of See Emily Play on Pinups, and Bolan - well, just look at his hair, makeup, and clothes, or listen to just about any T.Rex lyric. XTC's Dukes of Stratosphear is practically an homage (a very good one) to early Pink Floyd, as well as several other bands from that era.

David Gilmour has said he is not opposed to officially releasing the oft-bootlegged Pink Floyd/Syd Barrett songs Vegetable Man and Scream Thy Last Scream, but also pointed out that the decision isn't really his to make, since he wasn't in the band when they were recorded. If you've heard these songs then you know they are interesting but not on the same level, quality-wise, as most of the released material. Think Barrett solo material, rather than some unearthed Emily-style gem.

5 out of 5 stars Chillout with an Eastern Twist.......2002-07-21

Given the proliferation of chillout albums, it can be hard to distinguish one from the other. The venerable dance label Ministry of Sound has already branched out into the chillout arena, but on "Karma Collection," they've taken the genre to another level by releasing an album of downtempo gems and Eastern-influenced tracks. The end result is one seamless groove that contains some of the most traffic-stoppingly beautiful selections I have heard. The usual guests on chillout albums appear (Thievery Corporation, Moby, Stereo MC's), but the real standouts are selections from Clannad, Susheela Raman, Fug, and the ever-etheral touches of Dead Can Dance. The entire collection clocks in at 2.5 hours, and not once did I hit the "skip" button on my CD player. This is ideal music for dinner, working at your computer, or a Sunday afternoon brunch. As with all imports, the price on this one is steep. But the reality is this: if you want quality, you're gonna have to pay. Of course, you can take the cheap route and get the second-rate domestic compilations, but you're only cheating yourself. "Karma Collection" is required listening for all chillout gurus and beginners alike. Although I nearly cracked my wallet to get this, it's worth every dime.

4 out of 5 stars Licensing muscle + worldbeat + diverse tracks.......2002-07-08

Not one to miss a trend, Ministry of Sound has astutely thrown their hat into the worldbeat dance ring, the hallmark sound for dozens of swanky French bars and massage therapists. MoS dubs it spiritually enlightening chillout, a succinct description. And while one could just say their A&R exec sent out a memo to round up three dozen or so popular ethnic-themed tracks for mass consumption...

The Karma Collection works for the simple reason that the Ministry knows their audience is the dance massive, and that audience wants an understandable, accessible entry into the ethnic sound. Much of these tunes are unabashedly floor friendly with a "worldly" instrument thrown in, a test of how much sitar you can sit through. Jakata's "So Lonely" is straight up charming psychedelic pop, dittos "Dave Pike's "Mathar." The lilting cabaret of Susheela Raman's "Trust In Me" beguiles, while Badmarsh & Shri's dreamy sunset ode "Sajanna" and Blue States's harp-filled folktronic remix of "Papua New Guinea" finally receives due recognition. This doesn't even include other hits by Nitin Sawhney, Dusted, and Zero 7.

Disc 2's where they crank the global dial, world chill far removed from the dance realm. There's mandatory Talvin Singh with a flute & breaks "Light," some floating symphonies courtesy of Ghostland and Craig Armstrong (the breathtaking "Weather Storm"), and for good measure some Celtic gospel courtesy via Clannad's 1985 track "Caislean Oir."

In fact, The Karma Collection has very few bumps in the road, barring the odd chanting ditty ("Mustt Mustt") or the spiritual sludge of Deepak Chopra's duff "Desire." Each disc has a completely different audience in mind, but the undeniable licensing muscle of Ministry of Sound insure at least one of these sets will connect with the listener.

4 out of 5 stars Great South Asia-inspired club/lounge music.......2002-03-20

I am so glad to have found this ... for the first CD. In the beginning, there are a couple of good ragas on top of a rhythm section. Other selections are more electronica with the South Asian instruments stuck in for flavor. There are also various Western-style jazz, rock and alternative selections with Middle-Eastern & South Asian samples and melodies. Good variety but it's important to note that it gets less and less South Asian and more California as it goes on. The second CD is mainly California new-agey mood music that would be decent background music, but is otherwise boring.

5 out of 5 stars Never Mind The Buddahs - this is the real deal.......2002-02-23

With the plethora of "Buddha Bar" lounge / supper club albums in the racks at silly import prices; it was only a matter of time until club compilation giants Ministry Of Sound waded in for a piece of the action. Happily, on this occasion, bigger definitely means better. This is by far the best album of it's kind in the marketplace, especially if you (like I) have found the Claude Challe albums to be all style and no content.

'Karma Collection' kicks off (predictably) with Jakatta's current cover hit of 'Ever So Lonely', and then hits you with a lovely sequence of Dave Pike's classic 'Mathar' (currently on the Jamie Oliver ad), Nitin Sawhney's sublime 'Sunset' and into Stereo MC's, Thievery Corporation and Massive Attack's mix of 'Mustt Mustt'. Special spotter points for including the snake song from 'The Jungle Book' sung by Susheela Raman, and for finding 90's Indie stars Ride's most cosmic moment in 'Rolling Thunder'. It then goes a bit 'sonic cathedral' with Marta Sebestyn, Moby and the Aled Jones On Ecstacy vibe of Dusted, before riding out with mellow masters Zero 7.

Disc 2 is a bit deeper, with the odd Celtic moment thrown in (Clannad repositioned as veteran chill out masters - whatever next?); and has some sweet simple pleasures with Grant Lee Phillips and Horace Andy on 1 Giant Leap's 'Racing Away' and Bjork's barely there ethereal presence on 'Harm Of Will'. All this comes in a lovely red strokey tactile box, with pretty gold embossed letters. Will definitely look good on that Heal's coffee table.

In conclusion, if you are a real fan of global beats, chances are you've probably got a lot of these tunes already, possibly on other comps. However, if you don't want to pay £30 for a French import; and you just want to relax to some sensual and seductive sounds from around our planet, or you are looking to turn on a friend to something which is definitely fresher and cooler than Another Bloody Chillout CD, shell out now amigos!
