Whether Tom Cruise's portrayal of a 19th century American soldier cum samurai warrior will be remembered with the same pangs of pop-cultural bemusement that befell John Wayne playing Genghis Khan remains to be seen. But its musical soundtrack does mark an auspicious occasion: pop musician-turned-composer Hans Zimmer's 100th score since beginning his film career in 1988. A pioneer of fusing both the electronic and orchestral and the Westernized with the indigenous, Zimmer does both here with skill, drawing heavily on samples of the traditional Taiko (a massive Japanese drum) for its rhythmic action sequences, while constructing a melodic Western motif for Cruise's character that's both centerpiece and counterpoint for the score's transcultural intent. Aside from the brief, ominous thunder of the expected action/suspense boilerplate, Zimmer has constructed passages of gentle, Asian-inflected pastoralism that have parallels with much of his evocative work on The Thin Red Line. Those cues are the score's very soul, a canvas against which his more traditional themes reverberate all the stronger. --Jerry McCulley

Sweet as lotus flower, strong as a the solid rock of the paith, sharp as a samurai sword... close your eyes and live in an magic ancient atmosphere

This soundtrack...........2007-04-24

...is really amazing, so deep and great. The movie would never be so good without this great music.

Dances With Wolves in Japan.......2007-04-10

If you liked Dances With Wolves this is it in Japan - I do think it is Tom C's best movie. The sound track is excellent - Zimmer also did Batman Returns which has a fantastic soundtrack - Hans is comming on

A Diverse Score from the Land of the Rising Sun.......2007-03-02

I always love it when composers branch out and write music that you would never expect them to write, yet retaining their own trademark sound. Here, Hans Zimmer utilizes his own, recognizable sound, where you know it's him with eastern instrumentation, such as Taiko drums, the shakuhachi (a staple in Horner scores lately), and the koto harp. It's east meets west, a route in which Tan Dun took on in the film "Hero", and Zimmer's score follows many of those same musical ideas, only not quite as eastern sounding as Dun's score.
The main theme is a powerful 7-note anthem which tends to build its way up each time, as in "A Way of Life", "Spectres in the Fog", "Idyll's End", and "Safe Passage". You can tell it is a Zimmer theme just by its sound, but with the oriental flavor thrown in, it really adds to the mix.
The action music in the score is exciting with energetic Taiko drums keeping the pulse moving. They do not get tiresome, as you might think because Zimmer uses them more like a heartbeat, not a heart attack! "Red Warrior" is a powerful anthem, consisting of japanese warrior chants, which really add to the scope of the sound. Other noteworthy tracks are "Ronin" and "The Way of the Sword", which are enjoyable pieces of music.
I was pleased of the results of Zimmer's work here. It showcases Zimmer's diversity with his music. I hope he gets the opportunity to write more diverse scores such as this. The Da Vinci Code is certainly one of them!

One of the best themes ever composed.......2007-02-28

This soundtrack is brilliant, and Hans Zimmer even more. He is truly one of the great film composers. The Last Samurai's sounds never fail to draw emotion from me.

This CD brings together some of the greatest cool jazz ever recorded--Tristano's 1949 sextet sessions for Capitol and Marsh's 1956 masterpiece Jazz of Two Cities. Tristano's sessions (which feature Marsh and Lee Konitz on sax) are breathtaking displays of exciting and intellectually challenging bop, and the final two cuts--"Intuition" and "Digression"--prefigure free jazz. While less adventurous, Marsh's 1956 outing (with Ted Brown on tenor sax) is a beautiful collection of standards and originals. It clearly demonstrates why Tristano thought Marsh was one of the great jazz improvisers. --Bill Holdship

Customer Reviews:

Way Ahead of the Times!.......2002-08-29

Tristano was a musician more talked about than listened to during his heyday. But he was way ahead of his time...really music hasn't truly caught up with him (as it hasn't really caught up with any of the great innovators.) This album contains all of Tristano's classic 1949 sides recorded for Capitol with his sextet. On the surface, this stuff sounds like bop...but listen closely, it is really another world.

Most of the tunes are based on traditional chord changes, like bop heads. But the heads are more intricate, requiring more arrangement, sometimes quite complex arrangement. Warne Marsh and Lee Konitz are terrific in their solos. Both show a penchant for long winding lines that explore the farthest reaches of the chord changes, and an approach to rhythm that is both smooth and angular at the same time. The phrasing is quick and light, but the accents of the lines reach accross the time signatures.

Tristano is a wonder. He was the master of the impossibly long line...melodic material spins out from his fingers in seemingly endless streams. Tristano is all about invention. He doesn't seem to have any licks at all. You never know where line will end up. It is endlessly inventive and exciting playing. And his harmonic structure is nearly Scriabinesque.

The revolutionary cuts from this period are Intuition and Digression. Both are examples of completely free playing, something that Tristano'sgroups had been experimenting with for many years in their live gigs. This is not the kind of free playing that you would hear from the great avant-gardists of the 60's. Rather, it is full of feeling, but not emotive...exploratory but not dissonant for dissonance's sake. The players form an almost telepathic bond, with motives and phrases past around from member to member. The freedom, which is intense, never descends into chaos, as it could in the worst examples of the New York energy school. And Tristano, like Cecil Taylor after him, directs everything from the keyboard. These are experiments, but ones that every musician should hear. Close study of Tristano would put alot of energy back into the worn out "New Traditionalist" movement in jazz.

The Warne Marsh cuts from the late 50s initially disappointed me, partly because I hadn't looked carefully at the cover info, and I was expecting all Tristano. Compared to the adventurousness of the 1949 cuts, the Marsh sides sound like alot of other "West Coast School" jazz albums. But that's just a superficial reading of the recordings. More careful listening shows that Marsh really profitted from his time in New York with Tristano. His lines are still exploratory and "out" in a way that Chet Baker and even Gerry Mulligan never really approached. Marsh may have been one of the more underrated tenor players of the 50's. This set swings, but repays careful listening as well.

tThe remastering of the sides is terrific. They both sound much more modern than their dates would suggest...the Tristano sides sound cleaner than I've ever heard them, even on vinyl!

So get this disc for the Tristano sides, they are classic. But the Marsh sides are worth a listen too. You owe it to yourself to listen to these searching musicians. They will expand your appreciation of the art form of jazz.

Thank you Amazon Listomania!.......2001-10-05

If not for listomania and the people who have chosen this cd as one of their favorites; as well as giving it glowing reviews, I never would have found it. I've never heard of Lennie Tristano in my life, but after finding this cd on Amazon I thought that I would give it a try. You can tell by my rating that I was very pleased with the results. Thanks again, everyone who recommended this one to me. I never would have discovered it without you guys.

this music sounds as fresh today as the day it was recorded!.......1999-07-26

Years ago as a high school student, one evening after midnight, I turned on my bedside radio and came upon radio station WJZ from New York. The DJ was Symphony Sid Torin who played jazz from midnight to five A.M. That was the first time heard WOW which appears on this CD. That tune got me hooked on the players of the Tristano school. The music was entirely different than what was happening at the time and remains so today. This music sounds as fresh today as the day it was recorded. All tunes except Digression and Intuition which are the first recorded attempts at free form playing, are based on the chord progressions of standard tunes. Marionette is September in the rain, Sax of a kind is on the Fine and Dandy changes and so forth. The Warne Marsh Quintet recordings originally released in mono as Jazz of Two Cities and stereo as The Winds of Marsh, are a lot looser and more swinging. Every selection in this CD has stood the test of time. I had the 78rpm copies of the Tristano material, later on LP, and also the Warne Marsh LP. The Warne Marsh tracks also feature tenor saxophonist Ted Brown who I believe to be the freshest improviser in jazz today. Two fine examples of Ted's more current playing can be heard on the Lee Konitz CD called Figure and Spirit and Ted's own date for Criss Cross called Free Spirit. Don't miss hearing it.

The greatest cool jazz artists you never heard of...........1999-01-13

After falling in love with The Cool (Chet Baker, Mulligan, Miles, McCoy Tyner and others) I was searching for new names. BINGO. This recording is up there with the best of the them. Buy this if you're wondering if anything will ever approach birth of the cool....

This is beautiful music by some under-appreciated musicians.......1998-12-02

Before buying this wonderful CD, I had read that Lennie Tristano was an under-appreciated musical genius. After buying it, I understand that he was a genius and needs to be listened to by more people. I can't believe that Tristano was making music like this in the late '40s. It is complex, but beautiful. The song "Yesterdays" is a flowing melody between piano and guitar that is one of the prettiest pieces of music I have ever heard. I sincerely hope that more music enthusiasts will introduce themselves to Lennie Tristano.

By the way, the Warne Marsh tracks are almost as beautiful. Buy this music!!!

Tristano was a jazz genius.......2007-02-27

Mixed in with many of the more well known jazz musicians were some wonderful musicians that other musicians knew and loved, but the general public knew little about. Unfortunately, Tristano was one of these. A brilliant composer and pianst, his body of music is often hard for the average listener to access, since it didn't always follow along "traditional" lines. I always thought of Tristano as the technically magnificent Monk, but that sells both musicians short. Tristano was his own man, and the music that poured out from him was challenging, but always brilliant. It is a crime against nature and Tristano that the recording company left "C Minor Complex" off of this CD, though. Obviously, whoever made this CD knew very little about the music.

A very important jazz record from an underestimated genius.......2004-05-07

Lennie Tristano was a piano genius and also a master of arranging and making new and inspirational jazz music. The best example is here in this double package of his 2 most well-known jazz records: Lennie Tristano from 1955 and The New Tristano from 1962. The first contains the 4 masteful compositions Line Up, Requiem, Turkish Mambo and East Thirty-Second Street which is brilliant in its use of time changes, melody lines and atmosphere. Requiem is a great tribute to Charlie Parker who died the same year as this record was made. The rest of the record is 5 live recordings with Lee Konitz on tenor sax. Ghost of a chance is a very fine version. Lennie was a fan of the long, emotional improvisational line on the piano, and this is most evident in the solo record The New Tristano. This is a great piano classic with Lennie mixing in classical inspirations as well as bop, stride and whatever path his feelings lead him to in the creation of the music. My favourites here are Becoming, Love Lines and G Minor Complex. Absolutely essential jazz. Another record which is recommended is the hard-to-get Descent In the Maelstrom with the incredible title track.

difficult, but excellent jazz.......2000-06-15

Immortalized in Jack Kerouac's On the Road, this CD features Lennie Tristano in a variety of settings. If Bill Evans is the most colorful piano player jazz has ever produced, then Tristano is certainly the most "black and white", as his playing focuses on technique and composition rather than feeling. This takes a little bit of getting used to, even if you're a jazz fan; his playing at first might seem a little clunky and off-kilter, but it defintiely uncovers new rewards with each listen. In my opinion the only drawback is the live recordings, which, despite the prescence of the excellent Lee Konitz, aren't quite as special as the rest.

Great music; poor release........2000-01-21

If you are at all interested in the art of solo jazz piano you _must_ listen to this CD, which contains two Tristano albums, 'Lennie Tristano' (which also includes his trio), and 'The New Tristano' (which doesn't). The first of these albums features Tristano's revolutionary use of overdubbing, which led critics in the fifties to savage this album; many considered the technique as being somehow 'anti-jazz'. To answer these critcs/iques Tristano recorded 'The New Tristano' which used no overdubbing. Many people feel that this album is his masterwork. Here his improvisations have the intellectual rigour of the Bach preludes and fugues, while maintaining a strong swinging forward motion reminiscent of Art Tatum. Some of the best 'line playing' in jazz can be found here -- I love this album! The only reservation I have with this 'two for one' release is that the crown jewel of 'The New Tristano', 'C Minor Complex', is not included for lack of space. This is almost an insult to Tristano's memory, and at least a crying shame. This muck-up could be compared to leaving 'So What' off Miles Davis's 'Kind of Blue'. For this reason I give this CD 4, not 5 (or 10 if I could) stars.

Longtime Van Morrison fans may prefer the Belfast bard's tougher, emphatically R&B-driven work, yet it's his lusher, mid-'80s output that helped him consolidate the scrappy gains made in the prior decades. The once-heightened polarity between the earthy and the ethereal seemed muted on albums that traded in a softer-focus, romantic mysticism mirrored by the expanded scale of Morrison's band and arrangements, and left room for him to dabble in instrumental compositions or his renewed love of sax and piano. No Method, No Guru, No Teacher proves among the more durable, convincing chapters in this era, carrying a now-familiar array of symbolic touchstones (the Celtic legacy of "Tir Na Nog" or an extended instrumental allusion to a hymn set to William Blake's musings on England) and offering two of Morrison's better meditations on redemption, "In the Garden" and "A Town Called Paradise," which echoes the fevered waltz-time trance of "Astral Weeks" itself. --Sam Sutherland

Customer Reviews:

One of Van's Classics.......2007-06-29

It's a shame that this phase of Van's career is over. This is just a brilliant recording of the bard from Belfast.

outstanding mid-period van morrison release........2007-02-20

mid-period morrison (1986) here, and an oustanding release at that. despite ending with the the fantastic rollicking up-tempo number "ivory tower," the rest of this beautiful set is comprised of mid-tempo to slow-tempo numbers. plenty of back up vocals from a group of four fine ladies add a lushness to the record that serves it well, and saxophones and trumpets and the oboe add tasteful touches along the way. van's vocals are wonderful, as usual, with perhaps a cleaner, clearer ennunciation than on some of his more recent releases. a fantastic album from beginning to end. highly recommended.

One of Van's understated albums.......2006-03-19

A very understated album from Van Morrison prior to release of his critically acclaimed "Poetic Champions Compose". Van engages in some deep introspection on "Got to Go Back" and "In the Garden", the latter which addresses the album title.

Van draws on Irish folk music to pen the beautiful "One Irish Rover" and pays homage to the Gaelic language in "Tir Na Nog" - land of the young.

A very laid back album full of hauntiing and romantic songs in the genre that preceded Van's "blues period" about 10 years later.

Six songs for the ages.......2006-02-01

The first six songs on this disc stack up against any music I've heard in my 35 years as a collector, and the last four are pretty darn good, too. This record and the one that followed, Poetic Champions Compose, show an artist continuing to make great music long after exiting the pop music spotlight. Van Morrison has had an extraordinary career--remarkably, largely under the radar--and these songs are a beacon to his fertile middle period. Essential.

The Best.......2006-01-08

This is Van Morrison's best studio album, and I have heard them all.
In fact this is one of the ten best albums made by anyone, anywhere, in any era or genre.

Teacher Therapy is a collection of 13 humorous songs written especially for teachers. Judy Domeny Bowen, songwriter and longtime educator, performs her original songs accompanying herself on acoustic guitar. Judy's funny songs reflect day-to-day happenings and emotions every teacher experiences. These songs will make any teacher laugh out loud and say "I've done that very same thing!" Judy sings of "Happy Snow Days," of the "February Teacher Blues," of the "Million Things" for which a teacher is responsible, of concern for a foster child in "Brandon Moved Away," of dreaded "Faculty Meetings", of the "Schoolteacher Stampede" to get snacks in the workroom and much more. Every teacher you know needs a copy of Teacher Therapy to play for the humor and stress-relief it provides at the end of a long day, at faculty meetings, or at any gathering of educators.

Hilarious--And TRUE!.......2003-12-15

These songs sure hit home with me--and made me laugh at myself! I think Judy Domeny Bowen must have been in my classroom looking over my shoulder when she wrote these songs. Simply done with one voice and one guitar, clarity of words is great. I highly recommend it! I'm planning to buy them as gifts for my teacher friends!

its okay - not as I expected.......2003-12-07

After hearing such great reviews on amazon, and being a new teacher I thought his would be a great cd that i could listen to and pass on to my collegues. Honestly, I would not agree with the rest of the reviewers, yeah some of the songs are pretty funny, but everyone song is the same. They all sound identicial and I had a hard time listening to the whole cd. I don't know - I guess I was expecting more upbeat and a cd that I just had to listen to. The songs on this Cd are very folkish, and its really hard not to tune them out, and if the lyrics is what makes the songs so funny, if i am tuning them out - i am not listening to the lyrics.
I'll still pass the cd along to my collegues - maybe they'll enjoy it more than i did. Overall, nothing great, could have lived without it, not worth much more than 3 stars.

We all love it!.......2003-06-11

I have laughed and laughed over the songs on Teacher Therapy! My kids are absolutely nuts about this CD, too. It gives them an inside look at teachers that they think is so funny. We sing along with the songs in the car. I've even played it in my classroom and my students have a great time listening to it. After I received my copy I ordered 3 more CDs for friends of mine. They love it, too!

The Best!.......2003-06-06

This is the BEST CD about Teachers and their lives that has ever been recorded! Everybody that has stood in sensible shoes in front of a group of small students will relate to all that Judy has to say! It's all soooo true! It's also good music,presented in a clear and folksy manner! Fun and a truly inspirational CD - YOU'VE GOT TO HEAR IT!

This album is wonderful. I tried to play just one song at a teachers' workshop, and everybody wanted to hear more. The words are sung with such clarity that evreyone can understand them, and the messages are so relevant that some of the audience was clapping and cheering!

Uneven sound.......2004-10-08

Great recordings by one the most underrated genious of jazz. Includes many live tracks, and the historic sessions with Lee Koonitz and Warne Marsh. But the sound is awful on a few of these sides, it looks like they did not want to take the time & money to remaster them, they just throw them in there, so you may end up searching for better remaster for a few of these sides.

Album Description

Wino is back. Revered in the hard rock/heavy metal work with bands like ST.VITUS, THE OBSESSED and SPIRIT CARAVAN, Wino started this band not only as a means to create powerful music, but to address the disillusioned political apathy of our time. One of the most intense albums you'll hear, musically, lyrically and emotionally. Wino's profile is at an all-time high after helping to promote last year's PROBOT album, on which he appears.

One of Wino's Best .......2007-05-12

An excellent output from one of my favorite doom riff masters and friends.
As a matter of fact I think this might be my all time favorite release from Wino and co. in anyone of his many fine vehicles. It is that good!!
The lyric are sharp biting political commentary and the music is some of Wino's finest ever including his St. Vitus efforts. The vocals are also as good as I have heard on any recent doom release. This Cd stands tall next to not only Wino's work but also along side all time classic doomsters like Trouble , Candlemass, Electric Wizard etc..So do not hesitate to buy it and play it loud !!! Let There Be Doom !!!!

Stoner/Doom Fans Rejoice!!.......2005-11-03

A damn masterpiece! A total genre (re)definining work of art! If you're into bands of the stoner doom type, or are any kind of "Wino" fan... what are you waiting for... you NEED this album!

intelligent stoner rock.......2005-10-22

right from the start, this album lurches forward with a heavy sound and a solid groove. the music is heavy, but tuneful and never sways too far away from it's foundations in pure rock and roll. there are lots of different textures and moods applied and some amazing and thoughtful arrangements. i especially dug the song "Half Mast", with it's rolling basslines and acoustic guitars; showing an appreciation for prog rock and even a little bit of blues. the production of this record is stellar and manages to capture the intensity of the band's live show without losing a bit of the crystal clear sound quality. but above all, the songs just shine with brilliance and a sense of maturity that one would come to expect from the seasoned doom veteran behind the guitar and microphone. if there is such a thing as as intelligent doom stoner rock, then The Hidden Hand have set the template for how it should be done. a cornerstone album.

The first Doom poets?.......2005-06-06

Wino have done very interesting things in the field of Doom metal, St Vitus, The Obssessed and now The Hidden Hand , were doom metal is taken to a next level, to another building, sabbath riffs, Floydesque philosophy and melancholic and progresive changes of structures , also very deligthfull intrumental pieces , the sound of this charming trio is very heavy, poetic in lyrics and visual concept and artwork is appealing in a way hard to be described in words, Wino from my point of view can be easily defined as a visionary musician a key for the future of heavy music, lets see if this their second offer reaches the status of classic as some crtics have described "mother Teacher Destroyer"
HM

Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy........2005-06-03

This time around Wino and the boys take it slow, really slow and add a few layers of ultra-heaviness to the recording. On my first listen, I was a bit disappointed at the lack of melody and "dirge-like" tempo to most of the songs. I thought of Spinal Tap's "Stonehenge" about 30 seconds into the album. On repeated listenings, however, the album really grows on you. The slower tempos really set a mood; and enhances the listeners ability to hear and absorb the lyrics. There is also some tasty organ playing throughout which adds a bit of a psychedelic flavor to a few tunes. Most importantly, Wino rips off some of his best lead breaks in recent memory.
All in all a worthy sophmore effort and must purchase for any fan of the band or Wino's music.

Well done and interesting.......2005-02-22

This recording alternates extended selections of Bach's music (complete pieces or movements) with a narrated and sometimes dramatized biography of Bach. The music selections are excellent and the biography itself is well done and interesting. The lengthy accompanying booklet is also very nice.

My only reservation comes from a feeling that the music and the narration are not as well integrated as they could be. The narrator identifies the musical selections and may give a sentence or two of background for the selection but never really discusses it. Instead, the narration is focused almost entirely on the events of Bach's life. I would have preferred more of a "music appreciation" approach that discussed the music, and had trouble getting used to the bifurcated nature of production. The extended free-standing music selections do mean that the four discs are a sort of "best of Bach" anthology and you can re-listen to just the music by skipping every other track.

Naxos also produces a 2-disc set called An Introduction to Bach: Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 4 & 5 (ASIN: B0000666A9), also by Mr. Seipmann, which closely analyzes the actual music of these two concertos. I found that the two sets are complementary with no overlap, except for part of the booklets, and I would recommend getting both if you have an interest in Bach and are also interested in understanding what to listen for in his music. In addition (or as an alternative), I would also recommend the lectures by Robert Greenberg on "Bach and the High Baroque" produced by the Teaching Company, which are much longer, more detailed, and more focused on the "music appreciation" aspect. They are also much more expensive.

Overall, this item is very worthwhile and a good value, like most of Naxos's products.

Wonderful biography, needs more proportion in the music.......2002-08-21

Naxos continues to do a wonderful job with its "Life and Works" series. Quite some time ago, we had a Life/Works of Mozart, one of Chopin and then two more, Liszt and Beethoven. he latter are even better packaged than are the earlier sets, with a thick booklet that offers us essays on the historical background, the position of the composer in his time, a look at the major works, a listening plan, recommended readings, personalities, a calendar of the artist's life, a glossary, and a discography. This booklet is worth the price of the set alone.

Now we have two more entries in this amazing series, again written and narrated by Jeremy Siepmann: "Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky" (8.558036-39) with a playing time of 4 hrs. 5 min. and "Johann Sebastian Bach" (8.558051-54) with a playing time of 4 hrs. 34 minutes. (Please see my comments for the Tchaikovsky on that webpage.)

In direct contrast to the tortured personality of Tchaikovsky, we have the life-loving J.S. Bach, he who lost his temper only when he ran up against ineptitude. Again, the biographical details are fascinating. But also again, the musical examples are far too few--especially for this prolific composer--and some are simply far too long. We do not really need a complete rendition of the famous "Toccata and Fugue" and certainly not of the "Prelude and Fugue in A minor" to which is devoted a 13 minute track.

Here the voice of Bach is supplied by actor John Shrapnel, with Trevor Nichols, Ruth Sillers and David Timson in supporting roles. So 5 stars for the biography, somewhat less for musical examples.

Refined, Clear, Quite Nice.......2005-08-04

Fela's music here sounds clean and clear, with just the amount of echo that the masses want to hear, and the horns and vocals are just elaborate and complex enough to tickle the ear. Everything is in a commercially acceptable place, it sounds like one of those records that win Grammies ...

Musically, everything is in the right place. The band is able to maintain long grooves smoothly and effortlessly, and call little attention to themselves while providing smooth/"quiet storm" vibe. Fela uses the vocals and especially the backing vocals, on tracks 1 & 3, to provide complicated patterns that add to the music. The music resembles Fela's earlier music, but more relaxed

His aim here seemed to be to incorporate more African elements into the record (make it just a bit more Nigerian and less Western), and to provide a very well-engineered recording. He succeeded in these aims and produced what is a very fine and satisfying record; all 3 tracks are more or less masterpieces.

One of the best.......2004-04-20

Everyone's got their favorite Fela record... For me, there is something amazing about the music he made towards the end of his career, and TDTMN is one of the best. The horn lines got more complex, the band sounds HUGE, the guitars even more intricate, and the beats sometimes slower than earlier (better to feel with your whole body). The production is so clear on this album. A beautiful recording

Possibly his best work [Previously Reviewed].......2002-11-09

You can tell that Baba 70 put a lot of work into this album. From the lyrics and wordplay, to the tight instrumental arrangement. It has been and still remains my favorite Fela composition.

I never heard this one performed live at The Shrine, so it is not one of those that bring back the memories of late nights - sometimes wet, loud speakers thumping into your gut while you yell out the lyrics of the song along with "Abami Eda" - one of Fela's many nicknames.

It is, on the other hand, one of those albums that I listen to late at night, when it is really quiet and you are able to hear each instrument more clearly. Time and time again you discern a different pattern in the intricate tapestry woven by the many instruments that make up "Egypt 80". It is also one of those in which you listen to the instrumental solos and decide that nothing more could have been added or taken away.

Released on CD in 1986 (I'm assuming the LP was released at this time as well), this album is made up of 2 tracks - the title track and "Look And Laugh"; and was produced by Wally Badarou. I recommend it highly, if you are able to find it.

"Everybody say Yeah Yeah!!"

As with all legends this is a masterpiece amongst all masterpieces. Each time you listen to this it will take you back to the days of pepple street Akara, Dun dun and palm oil. those who appreciate rich jazz will be enveloped instantaneously and I hope they would not be overwhelmed with the passion they are sure to feel.
