The WOW Gospel 2007 collection is much in the same vein of previous releases: Disc One features the best of more traditional acts while Disc Two spotlights newer talent and approaches. And much like its predecessors, the 2007 package has plenty of great music. Hang on, because the release kicks off quickly with Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers from their farewell concert with "The Blessing of Abraham," a live-wire effort if there ever was one. It's followed by the delightful bossa nova-tinged "Psalm 68 (Let Our God Arise)" from Kurt Carr, a master at blending musical styles. Karen Clark Sheard - the baby of the famed Clark Sisters - comes through strong with the beautiful "You Showed Me." Another highlight is Keith Wonderboy Johnson & the Spiritual Voices with "I Made It," a celebratory statement. Johnson has a unique arrangement style and a voice somewhat reminiscent of Dobie Gray. Disc Two starts off with fireworks from hitmakers Mary Mary doing "The Real Party (Trevon's Birthday)," a raise-the-roof chant spiced up with a sassy horn section. The great Yolanda Adams won't be denied with her "Victory," a proclamation of saving faith and deliverance. Other delightful highlights include Israel & New Breed's uplifting "Turn It Around" and Deitrick Haddon's convincing "Heaven Knows." And who would have imagined Nicole Mullen teaming up with 70s funkster Bootsy Collins? The duo's "Message for Ya" is guaranteed to bring a smile and a spring to your step. --Michael LyttleAmazon.com

This is still highly recommended because it an outstanding value.

A Great Collection.......2007-03-05
Although I already had about half of the songs on this CD, I decided to go ahead and get it. That was not a mistake.
There are some absolutely terrific songs on this CD by Casting Crowns, Jeremy Camp, and Kutless. In addition, there are many more that I would rate as four star songs. There are no bad songs in this collection.
One real treat for me is 'Atmosphere'. It is a TobyMac song that features dcTalk, so it is essentially a dcTalk song. As their 'Intermission' has been far too long for my liking, this is a good way to get a rarity these days: a new dcTalk tune.
You really can't go wrong with this double CD collection. Buy it and enjoy.

Here we have the ultimate artifact from the bestselling Wow series: Wow #1s: 31 of the Greatest Christian Music Hits Ever. This collection does have some great anthems, but they're the kind of tunes that anyone who's given even a cursory listen to Christian pop radio in the `90s or `00s has heard dozens of times by now. It's hard not to see this release as the result of a zeal on the part of the Wow organization to reduce contemporary Christian music to the sort of bite-sized, sales-driven, best of the best mentality that fuels so much of secular consumer culture. For the most part, the result is a blanched and overproduced mess: very little of the music remotely urban or exciting, almost all of it overly sentimental. Rather than a hearty meal, it's like eating a cake made entirely of frosting. Many if not most of the artists themselves are talented, of course, and if even one more listener can get turned on to the highly personal rock of Rich Mullins or the sublime, beyond-diva-level vocalizings of Nicole C. Mullen, that's never a bad thing. --Mike McGonigalCustomer Reviews:
New Christian?.......2007-03-17
EXCELLENT by BJ.......2007-03-16
We start off on Disc 1 with Steven Curtis Chapman, who's won so many awards and sold so many albums that I almost faint when I hear his accomplishments. This #1, "Dive", is an extremely catchy song. I can't remember the first time I heard it (maybe at a skating rink years back?), but I just know that I've known it for a long time. Excellent song.
Next we have Nichole Nordmeman, who I think is a little bit overrated. Of course she's decent on songs like "Brave" and such, but I have better female singers in my church praise team! "Holy" is definitely a worship song, talking about falling on your knees and singing "holy". Not the best, but good.
Up next comes one of my dad's favorites of all time, Mercyme's "I Can Only Imagine". This song will just make you want to shout because you're so happy! It's a constant reminder that one day we will be going to a better place with Jesus. Incredible vocals--WOW!
Track 4 features BackStreet Boy member Brian Littrell. I was certainly surprised when my sister told me one day that he was coming out with a Christian CD, because I didn't think he was a Christian! However, "In Christ Alone" (formerly done by Michael English... I THINK!) shows off Brian's voice talent--soothing to the soul. The words are amazing.
Next comes FFH's "One Of These Days". This song is pretty good--a catchy one, at least. I'm not that familiar with this group, but I think everybody will like this song.
"Big Enough" from Chris Rice is next, and unfortunately is one that is not my favorite at all. It's just seems boring to me, and his voice doesn't work for me. I've heard some of his songs before, and honestly, they're OK, but this one is dull and makes me wonder how it ever became a #1 hit.
Amy Grant is the next artist on this disc, with her song "Lead Me On". The beginning starts a little strange at first, but then transforms into a faster chorus. The tune is great, and I was very surprised when I found myself singing this one all day. Great job, Amy!
Next in the lineup is my sister's favorite male artist of all time--Mr. Michael W. Smith (sometimes referred to as "Smitty"). His song, "Place In This World", is one of my favorites for this disc. I enjoy his voice very much and thought this song was a definite highlight. Excellent work.
Point Of Grace's "Gather At The River" is next. This is probably the only song I've heard of this all-girl group, but after hearing this song, it seems they're pretty good. Their voices blend perfectly, an ingredient that helped make this song a good one.
"Redeemer" from vocal powerhouse Nicole C. Mullen is an incredible song! It talks about how Jesus has risen and how he lives today, and how he is with us every minute of every day--FANTASTIC WORK!
Next comes my FAVORITE ARTIST OF ALL TIME (YEA!) Everyone please give it up for... AVALON! This quartet is fantastic, and on this album they show off their biggest smash, "Testify To Love". I think this song was the most-played song of the 90s (I THINK!) Anyway, I still love it, and think everyone should give it a listen to.
Anyway, I think you get the picture: this WOW rocks!! All the other artists like Rachael Lampa, Mark Shultz, Jars Of Clay, Newsboys, DC Talk, and more are all incredible.
EXCELLENT WORK--HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

From a pure-pleasure standpoint, the first Beethoven's Wig was nothing to flip over, and the second disc in the series follows suit. However, that is not to say that this is not a valuable and possibly ingenious record. Those unfamiliar with the premise will quickly get the picture: Producer/writer/lead singer/chief clever guy Richard Perlmutter gathers a bundle of important classical works (Paganini's "Violin Concerto #2," Strauss' "Blue Danube Waltz") and makes up silly, catchy lyrics to lay over them, informing the listener about the piece or its composer. Standing out for their offbeat brilliance this time are "Dvorak the Czechoslovak" ("Humoresque #7," Dvorak) and "Wow What a Wedding Cake" (Wedding March from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Mendelssohn). Few stabs at mixing education with entertainment succeed so well. As a bonus, the second half of the CD repeats the symphonies straight up, presenting a neat opportunity to quiz kids 5-12 on what and who they've just heard. --Tammy La GorceCustomer Reviews:

We all thoroughly enjoy it. My 4 yr old can name these classicals when he hears them elsewhere and he can hum these beautiful songs. Much better than kiddie rhymes and Disney jingles. Culture your children the funniest way!!

Ferguson Returns.......2007-06-01
Awesome collection!.......2007-05-13
The CD is well recorded, there's nothing glaringly bad as far as levels/mixing go. For vintage recordings (late 40's and 50's) these are well recorded and hold up well both from a technical and musical standpoint.
I had all but one of these tunes in my collection... but it's nice to have them all in one place on CD instead of hunting through all my old vinyl!
If you're a MF fan - or a trumpet player who wants to hear what the fuss is all about - come hear The World's Greatest Trumpet Man as he was at the beginning of his career!
wow the formative years by Maynard Ferguson.......2007-03-31
Essential.......2007-03-15
Ferguson moved to the United States in 1949 and initially played with the bands of Boyd Raeburn, Jimmy Dorsey and Charlie Barnet - just as the age of the big band was passing. While there are no studio recordings from his tenure with Raeburn or Dorsey, this CD contains a couple of tracks from a live radio broadcast with Dorsey in New York during March of 1949.
The third track is Ferguson's notorious feature with the Charlie Barnet band on "All the Things You Are". This disjoint and decidedly unsentimental recording enraged Jerome Kern's widow, leading to a lawsuit threat that resulted in the record being withdrawn from sale by Capitol Records. For those that have grown used to Ferguson's flamboyant style, it does not seem as extreme as it may have in the fall of 1949, although it is still quite a hoot to listen to.
Ferguson was destined to play with Stan Kenton and the only impediment was that Kenton had temporarily disbanded when Ferguson made his move to the U.S. Ferguson finally joined Kenton when he formed the Innovations Orchestra in 1950 and Kenton featured Ferguson prominently on a number of recordings (most already out on CD). This CD contains three tracks with Kenton, the eponymously named "Maynard Ferguson" (with the Innovations Orchestra) and two cuts with the "regular" Kenton band, "Hot Canary" and "What's New". There are four cuts from 1950 recorded with Ferguson listed as leader of an orchestra comprised of Kenton sidemen - and given the quality, apparently dubbed from vinyl. There are also two cuts from 1952: an odd small-group date with Ben Webster and an orchestra cut featuring his first wife, Kay Brown, on vocals.
Ferguson left Kenton in 1953 to become a studio player for Paramount Pictures. While his contract limited his live performance opportunities, he still recorded quite regularly as a leader and sideman. The middle of this CD includes seven tracks from 1954-1956. There are a number of CDs available with additional material from this period.
The CD concludes, appropriately, with five tracks from the Birdland Dreamband, which Ferguson was tapped to lead in 1956 when he left Paramount. This aggregation would form Ferguson's core performing unit until the mid 60s, when he left the inhospitable musical climes of America for Europe and India. While the mature Ferguson would occasionally pull out charts from his early years, his second career would be based on more rock-influenced charts and a more fluid playing style to match.
It is nice to see Ferguson's early- and mid-career work finally coming out on CD, ironically just as the CD is heading into technological obsolescence. Nevertheless, even for those who have moved into the iPod age, the price is right and the screaming is timeless. Wow, indeed.

This album is way better than the film..........2007-02-03
Tre Lux is Tina Root of Switchblade Symphony, one of the biggest Dark Wave bands of the 90's.
Shiny Toy Guns are huge right now, just played Leno a month ago.
Collide are one of the bigger bands of the goth/electro scene.
Bow Wow Wow...even the other reviewer knew who they are.
Sparklemotion had a hit on itunes from the Napoleon Dynamite Sountrack.
New Skin are a new English band produced by one of the guys who produced Depeche Mode and the Cure.
but whatever - the point is the album is really good - there's only one song I wasn't crazy about and for a soundtrack, that's saying a lot.
I can't say the same for the film...but oh well.

Except for Bow Wow Wow (glad to see they are struggling along still, but this IS DEFINITELY NOT their best work), almost all of these bands are probably unknown to 99.99% of the listening public. I have heard of Collide before this, kinda synthy darkwave band, very enjoyable, please go buy their other work ;) Almost of these songs lack the excitement and punch of the originals, why bother then making effort? I guess if I must, the first three songs are pleasant enough to listen to and I kind of like the Collide number as well...The rest can be safely deleted if you decide to convert these tracks to MP3s and just keep the aforementioned four tracks.
