Six Decades of Film Music.......2007-05-13

This is film music for the classical music lover. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra presents excellent arrangements of a number of classic film themes (although several pieces of the 56 film classics selected for this 4 CD set are not orchestral arrangements, but rather specialty arrangements). Besides great film composers such as John Williams, Elmer Bernstein, Ennio Morricone, and James Horner, classical composers such as Richard Strauss and Pietro Mascagni make an appearance. On several of the numbers the Crouch End Festival Chorus adds the human voice to the power of the full symphonic orchestra to create true movie magic. If you like the sound of a full symphony orchestra playing some of the most recognized themes ever written, you'll love these CDs.

Excellent collection with fine performances.......2007-03-28

Silva Screen Records, based in England, has been issuing some fine collections of film scores, more in one box than we have the right to expect. This four-CD box contains scores by many of the best writers, including Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, Dimitri Tomkin, Kenneth J. Alford (The Bridge on the River Kwai), Elmer Bernstein, Maurice Jarre, Ennio Marricone, John Barry, Nino Rota, John Williams, James Horner, and more. We can all think of additional film scores we wished were included, but then there's no way this collection could be all-inclusive. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, supplemented by Crouch End Festival Chorus on some numbers, does a very competent job...The liner notes give the basic information without any commentary, and as far as I can see, contain only one error. Am I wrong or are tracks 9 and 10 on the fourth CD mislabeled? Track 9, which runs 7:33, seems to have the excitement of "Pirates of the Caribbean" (which I did not see) and track 10, which runs 4:22, the more sedate "The Girl with the Pearl Earring (which I also did not see). Listings seem to have them reversed.

"essential film scores from 1939 to 2004 ~ Incredible Music".......2005-05-16

When I think of the "Golden Age" of Hollywood, many composers come to mind...you gave the usher your ticket in the theater and sat down, knowingly you were going to get your moneys worth...when the curtain opened and you heard those first few notes...you sat back, watched and listened as the film score and orchestra worked their magic...now we have the ultimate from Silva Screen Classics "The Incredible Film Music Box", featuring a four disc set of the essential film scores of the past 60 years...covering several decades from 1939 through and up to the present 2004

There are compilations and then there are "Compilations" beginning with a classic that even the youngsters today recognize "GONE WITH THE WIND" (1939) (Max Steiner), sweeping score that captures the tragic history of the South during the Civil War, one great cue after another, it doesn't get any better than this, nominated by the Academy for Best Original Score...and closing on Disc 4 with "THE INCREDIBLES" (2004) (Michael Giacchino), the big hit in computer animation from Walt Disney & Pixar that once again pit Super-Heroes against the forces of evil...our family of five Supers prove crime doesn't pay, but box-office receipts do...gotta love it!

Silva Screen Classics as usual, has put quality into this 4-CD-Set featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus conducted by Kenneth Alwyn, Bill Ashton, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Mario Klemens, Derek Wadsworth, and Nic Raine. Recorded in "Dolby Surround" with the new technology of "HDCD", this is a "film-score-buffs" dream, one to treasure now and years to come.

Some selections are missing, but when you think of what Silva has included, it is impossible to please everyone...was happy to see "TOUCH OF EVIL" (1958) from composer Henry Mancini, as I feel this composer deserves all the recognition that has been overlooked recently in the music world...This collection is aimed directly at the "Serious Film Score" music fans and collectors...Silva is as always, perfect in every way...just the way we like 'em!

For a Cover Album, this is very good.......2006-05-14

While most people consider "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" not only the greatest Beatles album of all time, but the greatest album of all time - I tend to think that "Abbey Road" is the superior album. One reason why I think "Abbey Road" stands out is the state of the Beatles as a band during the time of recording. "Abbey Road" was recorded at a time when tensions and emotions were high between the four members of the band. It is when emotions are high that often a band produces their best work. Fleetwood Mac also did their best work under similar circumstances. Tensions and emotions between the members of Fleetwood Mac were running high when they recorded "Rumours" - and it became their most successful album. Great works are often targets to be covered by other artists. "Rumours" was an album that was covered by a variety of artists on a tribute album: "Legacy: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours". While there was an admirable job of the covers on this collection, it failed to capture the emotions of the original. When I discovered George Benson's "The Other Side of Abbey Road", my initial fears that surrounded the Fleetwood Mac "Legacy" cover began to surface. My curiosity of seeing a legendary Jazz artist such as Benson cover my favorite album outweighed the fears I was having. While I knew it was going to be impossible for Benson to reach the level of emotion that the Beatles had on "Abbey Road", I was very surprised how close Benson came to hitting the mark, I was surprised how much Benson "got it" when it came to covering "Abbey Road".

George Benson is basically a jazz guitarist and vocalist. In the 1970s Benson suddenly found success as a pop star with such hits as "On Broadway", "Give Me the Night", and "Turn Your Love Around". It was Benson's "This Masquerade" that gave him critical acclaim as he would take the coveted award at the 1977 Grammy Awards for Record of the Year. Many people forget that Benson's musical roots are in jazz. It is a jazz cover of "Abbey Road" that is done on "The Other Side of Abbey Road".

It is important to note that "The Other Side of Abbey Road" is not a full cover of the Beatles' "Abbey Road". There are only 10 songs that are included on "The Other Side of Abbey Road". The songs that are missing are "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", "Sun King", "Mean Mr. Mustard", "Polythene Pam", "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window", "Carry That Weight", and "Her Majesty". This was something that I found disappointing because I have an immediate curiosity about how Benson would have covered these songs.

Benson does not order the remaining songs in the order in which they appear on the original Beatles' "Abbey Road" album. Normally this would be something that disappoints me, however Benson structures the 10 songs included into 5 tracks. Four of the five tracks include combining two or more songs on one track. The five tracks are "Golden Slumbers/You Never Give Me Your Money", "Because/Come Together", "Oh! Darling" (the only 'single' track), "Here Comes The Sun/I Want You (She's So Heavy)", and "Something/Octopus' Garden/The End" (the one track with more than 2 songs). While I didn't feel I would like the way that Benson combined the songs - it works. Benson does a beautiful job at providing the fusion needed on each of these tracks. Benson could have easily found a way to fuse all ten tracks together into a single one - but I do think the way he combined the songs helps to break things up a bit.

Benson also doesn't sing all of the tracks. He uses instrumentals for some of the covers while providing partial vocals on others - and this also hits the mark beautifully. Benson also assembles a terrific orchestra to cover the songs. This includes Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion, and Piano! Included in this band is Herbie Hancock on piano.

Here is a brief summary of the five tracks:

"Golden Slumbers/You Never Give Me Your Money": Benson "wraps" at the beginning and end a vocalized "Golden Slumbers" around an instrumental "You Don't Give Me Your Money". "Golden Slumbers" has an orchestral feel to it while "You Don't Give Me Your Money" a smooth jazz feel to it (that also has some orchestral qualities to it).

"Because/Come Together": This is one of the album's highlights. "Because" starts out with the orchestral feel to it before the segue into "Come Together". Many say Aerosmith nailed the passion of this song with their cover. I would also subscribe that Benson nails it here with his jazzy cover. I love how Benson will improvise later in the song and make the use of the horns.

"Oh! Darling": Benson provides a supper-club style feel to this cover. This isn't my favorite Beatles song, but Benson does a nice job on this.

"Here Comes the Sun/I Want You (She's So Heavy)": Once again Benson starts out with an orchestral feel ("Here Comes the Sun") and then goes into a jazzy feel of "I Want You". While it doesn't have the same haunting feel of the Beatles original, Benson puts his own haunting spin on "I Want You" (as heard in the instrumentals).

"Something/Octopus's Garden/The End": Benson does an incredible job on this. He starts out with an orchestral feel on "Something" that is mostly instrumental with partial vocals. Benson really captures the passion of "Something". The segue isn't quite smooth into "Octopus's Garden" and "The End", but it works. The latter two songs are instrumental and provide a jazzy feel. These latter songs showcase the talents of the band that Benson assembles.

I wish the liner notes provided some insight into why Benson did what he did. Still, all in all this is a surprising good cover. Jazz and Beatles' fans should enjoy this.

How do you make a tribute just months after the original?.......2004-07-02

I guess this is how to make a tribute just months after the original. It speaks volumes, that so soon after the release of Abbey Road, it so affected the culture, that it demanded this wonderful tribute album. IT truly is the other side of Abbey Road. Abbey Road seen through the eyes of some of the greatest Jazz musicians in history. A wonderuly delightful stop at the side of the Abbey Road. Oh, Darling please believe me this album will never do you no harm!

Surprisingly Good for a "Beatles Cover CD". Benson at Best........2002-08-16

I listened to this as an album about twenty years ago during some times when I was in college and more concerned with getting wasted than passing my classes. Those were fun times, nonetheless, and this little gem is one that I got "turned on" to by a friend and fellow Beatles' fan in my "partying era." I ordered the CD recently after hearing the excellent "I Want You." George Benson is strong as both a musician and a singer throughout. Some of the songs, such as "Here Comes The Sun" are a little overdone for my tastes, but the entire CD flows together like a good album from the 60s/70s is supposed to.

OK, but it could have been much better.......2002-06-04

Creed Taylor uses his heavy hands to nearly murder a bunch of classic songs. Fortunately, George Benson had enough talent to overcome the stifling production.

A Bit Bumpy, But Still A Nice Side Trip.......2000-03-01

George Benson's outstanding "The Other Side of Abbey Road" may be the first time tribute was paid to an actual album, as opposed to the assorted songs of an artist or group (Ramsey Lewis and Benson's mentor, Wes Montgomery, had already hit with Beatles covers before this release).

It says much for the deep, rich melodies on "Abbey Road" that they stood sturdy with the arrangements Benson, producer Creed Taylor, and his stellar CTI backup band created. Notables include present and future jazz stars Herbie Hancock, Hubert Laws, and Freddie Hubbard, who contributes some great trumpet fills on "You Never Give Me Your Money" and "I Want You." Benson's ballad style, which he would rely more on in his later solo recordings, transforms "Golden Slumbers" and "Here Comes The Sun" into comforting lullabies without compromising either song's integrity; they indicate how Nat Cole may have covered those songs had he lived. Don Sebesky's string arrangements are first-rate (working the baroque string arrangements of "Because" around "Come Together" as one example), Benson's guitar rings and chimes where needed, the band finds an appealing jazz-blues groove to lock into the melodies and, with the exception of a short-sell fade out on "The End," this stands with "Chet Atkins Picks On The Beatles" as the finest Fab Four intrumental covers album ever.

This has to be Mancini at his best.......2004-03-01

This CD contains contains Mancini's Beaver Valley Suite. In this Suite, he "writes" of his childhood in a steel town. Anyone who grew up in a mill town will immediately identify with the images created by the music. This has to be Mancini at his best. There are six more original pieces (tracks 6 through 11) that showcase Henry Mancini's unique ability of giving joy to others while doing something that he truly enjoys. I have all of these pieces on the LP, Debut. I have been looking for them on CD for years. I am listening to the CD as I write this review. As the sleeve says, it "presents a quality of sound superior to the original vinyl album."

Instumental Only.......2002-05-03

INSTRUMENTAL!! Don't expect vocals. Other than that, it is a nice collection.

Enjoyable by itself.......2000-03-30

The music is beautiful just for listening. The first CD could be used in a wedding. The 2nd CD contains instrumental versions of the songs which is soothing and peaceful; it could also be used in a wedding, but not for a reception. I did not buy this to use in a wedding - just for the music and I was not disappointed. It's a nice background for meditation, or remembering your own wedding. I just bought a second one for some friends who are getting married. And the price is right.

Classical CD is great, but the other one is horrible........1999-11-17

The first CD is filled with popular classic wedding songs and is really good, but the last CD is music that would make your guests think they were trapped in an elevator filled with easy listening music. I cannot understand why someone would compile those songs for a wedding!

Customer Reviews:

No, Chuck Norris didn't do it first.......2001-08-12

Which is to say, he wasn't the first actor to sing his own movie or TV series theme song. Nor was Eastwood--the first was "Ballad Of Thunder Road", sung by Robert Mitchum on this collection in an adequate if not very memorable baritone--at least he didn't have to speak half of it the way Norris did with his "Walker" theme. Basically, the song tells the story of the movie--you don't very often find a theme song that goes that far. In a way, it's a violation of one of Hitchcock's rules as stated to the audience in the theatrical trailer of Psycho; "Don't give away the ending--it's the only one we have". But the song does offer sort an Appalachian change of pace from the predominance of California car songs here.

EXCELLENT CD FOR CAR BUFFS!.......1999-11-06

This is a wonderful collection of songs! From Jan and Dean to Commander Cody and the Beach Boys, etc., it covers the era of auto music well. They hint of a second volume in the insert but I've yet to see one. Come on Car and Driver, let's have it! A very useful CD to get you in the mood for Cruise Nights and car shows!

Album Description

"Ravishingly melodic!" -- Ani Difranco

Boots is an urban odyssey, seen through the eyes of a girl. Unlike Noe's previous records, in which she usually seemed to be singing as characters she had invented-- (a servant to a sorcerer, a doomed Cessna pilot, a dying transvestite...), Boots is strongly rooted in Noe's own experience as a woman. "In so many of my favorite stories," says Noe,"these troubled men dream of finding a woman to save them. You read stories like that and you're troubled, and you start dreaming of the same thing. Then one day you wake up and say, `Wait, I am the woman in those stories. But I'm troubled! So now who's going to save me?' I think that's where Boots begins."

Boots is a living room effort, born of 6 months of sonic experimentation and obsessive tinkering. Arrangements are lush, featuring electric guitars, violin, keyboards, old synths, drums, and many sounds that producer Todd Sickafoose and Venable can't remember how they made.

Climb Away.......2006-04-14

Yes, all these reviewers are correct. Noe Venable is a sunrise, a trail of rose petals, an aurora borealis, a garden. She has the beauty and simplicity of a child, but the wisdom of old age. Her songs are magic, loneliness, imagination, love, hope, and pain.

The exquisite combination of her stunning lyrics and haunting melodies make Ms. Venable one of the very greatest singer-songwriters I have ever heard. How many times can one fall in love?

Incredible.......2004-03-08

Wow, is this ever a cool CD. Noe Venable has quite a unique voice, though someone I played this for thought it was Mazzy Star. I don't really see that, but I suppose if you're going to be compared to someone Hope Sandoval is not bad!
She gets us right out of the gate with title track, "Boots" which is a stunning song. It's got a great low drum beat, that's barely there, but so powerful. The eerie backing vocals are chill inducing
"Prettiness" makes great use of the light picking on the guitar and her voice floating over the top is sublime. She'd probably hate that I say the song is pretty, but it is. I love it when artists take a sound and then put words to it that are disparate. This is a lovely flowing song but the lyrics start out:
She utilizes this method quite frequently, actually. The music is gorgeous, the lyrics almost harsh, a beautiful combination.
Well, I won't go over every song because they're all gems.
If intelligent atmospheric "pop" is your cup o' tea pick this one up.

Once in a long while.......2003-05-30

Once in a long while there is a singer, musician, poet, composer and actress that is able to pull it all together in a song. I saw Noe play live in a crowd of 50, and she gives it all away in her songs. Her intensity is bound to cross even through the most skeptical of us. And as if it was not enough, she is one of the best storytellers I have listened to in a long time. I am very happy I stumbled upon her music.
It is rare these days to meet musicians whose sole goal is to do music and to perform. And I can assure that Miss Venable's desire is so. Or else, why would she pour it out in a 50 people charity concert? We all left the place dizzy... The song boots will crack your heart open.

A Quiet Masterpiece.......2003-02-16

Every now and then, a CD comes around and leaves you breathless. "Boots" is one of those.

Noe Venable wants to take you on a journey, and once you start there's no turning back. The compositions are superb, and for old Noe fans, the remakes of a couple older tunes (like "Stolen Thing") will impress. The arrangements are simple on the surface, but the instrumentation has a rich, deep, feel that envelopes you (I highly recommend studio quality headphones for at least one listen). Alan Lin's violin work is moody and sly, and Todd Sickafoose has fun with just about any instrument he can get his hands on. In addition, some talented guests appear on "Boots" to fill in some extra notes.

Venable is a poetess, composer, singer, and actor -- and she makes it all come together in "Boots."

Oh, and lest we forget the singing. It's astonishing. A soaring and sure voice you won't soon forget. Even better is that, unlike so many of her peers, Noe Venable doesn't try to impress with vocal acrobatics or gimmicks. She just sings, and in a way that can send shivers up your spine, bring a tear to your eye, or a lump to your throat.

This is powerful stuff. Don't procrastinate: Buy it NOW.

Amazing.......2002-08-28

This powerhouse vocalist is astounding live. Though the recording can't quite match her live performance, her sirenlike voice is perfect for those quirky music moods when only something otherworldly will do.

Album Description

Road Movies is a collection of nine compositions primarily recorded live in the studio. It is the first release featuring the powerful rhythm section of Bill Rieflin and Fred Chalenor who lend a more propulsive, focused, and dynamic element to the group. Hence, Road Movies is sometimes intense, other times playful, often beautiful, and always a fascinating listening experience.

Customer Reviews:

Primal Complexity.......2004-01-14

"Road Movies" by the quintet (in this aggregation) fronted by soundscape explorer Jeff Greinke requires some effort on the listener's part. Each song morphs through various stages, sometimes delving into dissonance, before emerging again in a more or less similar frame of reference.

The musicians throw themselves into creating a frothy mix that swirls and pulsates, they use their instruments creatively, interjecting a snippet, a snarl, or a pulse that somehow holds the center together. A concave of equals, this quintet lays down some superb grooves and then wobbles away, almost as if seeing just what they can get away with. (This music sounds great through headphones and makes a great energizer while recreating budget tables in InDesign.)

Sometimes the eclecticism renders sections of a track nearly (for now) unlistenable, but an amazing rhythm section not only propels the action but keeps it all solid. The trumpet may be the most distinct part of this sound, sometimes muted, sometimes wailing, sometimes crying. Guitarist Dennis Rea, the only coconspirator held over from an earlier session released by Land, plies his trade with some rather unusual effects, not shoving his way to the front, but not easy to miss either. Mr. Greinke, the wizard in this enclave, conjures up various electronic samples, rhythms, effects, and voices (which sound a whole lot like Gollum), sort of like a caffeinated Brian Eno might.

An infectious primal complexity exists here, and if these songs were broken out into separate tracks, they would no doubt find a way to reassemble themselves and proceed to get things revved up once more.

Still Growing.......2002-09-07

This is a CD that keeps growing. On the first few listens, my reaction was along the lines of, "OK, this is good; I like it." But as I kept on moving into the CD, I found more and more underneath the surface. More than a year later I find myself still listening intensely. What at first seemed like funky melodic jazz has revealed itself to be very complex and fascinating. Just a wonderful recording.

baseball songs for church.......2005-07-19

Way to churchy, too much God and baseball. I didn't know it was a gospel CD.

Love of America's Favorite Pastime .......2005-02-21

Dyed in the wool Boston Red Sox baseball fans don't particularly care what your favorite team is so long as you don't root for the New York Yankees, or something like that. Fan mania reigns in the entertaining CD, "Baseball Songs Sports Heroes: People Who Have Made a Difference", where the core themes are chanted in a collection of creative folk-songs touting America's favorite pastime- especially from Boston Red Sox fans' points of view. This particularly charming CD is a collector's edition with a beautiful copy write graphic on the jacket depicting some of Boston's and New York's legends. The collection is published by Maine's King of the Road Music, with lyrics by Joseph Pickering. It's a must have for fan-mania memorabilia. By the way, "Baseball Songs Sports Heroes" is also registered in the Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame. Some of the songs were featured on the HBO special about baseball legend Babe Ruth. Let's face it, 2004 was Boston's dream year, when the elusive World Series trophy finally came home to Fenway Park. As a lifelong Baltimore Oriole's fan myself, I particularly enjoyed the original lyrics and tune, "The Hottest Fan", a time when the game of baseball was taken to the streets of Baltimore and the outcome was not nice- although the song's tune and lyrics by Joe Pickering are historic. "Baseball Songs Sports Heroes" is a terrific gift for anybody with a nostalgic yearning for baseball, with Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas and Hanukah (or even St. Patrick's Day) just a few ideas where having several of these CDs on hand could come in handy. "Baseball Songs Sports Heroes" is a timeless series of creative tunes sung and written from the heart.

GREAT, GLORIOUS, CATCHY STUFF.......2004-03-07

Even though I am a die hard Yankees fan, I can appreciate all the creativity that went into this opus. Tuneful, interesting and even a bit sad - you've got to love the lyrics. Perhaps that is why I have included two of the songs in RED SOX VS YANKEES: THE GREAT RIVALRY - my latest book.
If you care about baseball, care about the Red Sox of Boston, rush out and get yourself a few copies.

These Songs are Hits!.......2004-03-06

These songs root for the underdog, there's no doubt about it. They range from a heartfelt tribute to the Golden Greek, Harry Agganis, whose stunning career was cut short at 26, to "Babe Ruth's Curse I and II," directly addressing our most famous player who's (presumably) in heaven.

Although this CD came out before our exhilarating World Series win this year, the songs are plenty enjoyable and full of Red Sox history.

"Babe Ruth's Curse I" has been featured on the HBO DVD, "The Curse of the Bambino," narrated by Ben Affleck (without JLo, thank goodness!)

Two of the songs are also featured in Harvey Frommer's new book, "Red Sox vs.Yankees: The Great Rivalry." This will be great exposure for Joe and Phil's music.

There's a charming tribute to Fenway Park, and "God's Not a Mets Fan," for those who have also suffered at the hands of the Yankees. "The Mystery of the World" tries (tried) to solve the question of why the Red Sox just can't (couldn't) seem to win the Series for so many years.

A catchy tune entitled "Who?" urges forgiveness for a certain 1986 player with Hall of Fame stats, who will always be remembered for "one boo-boo!"

Die-hard Red Sox fans will especially appreciate these funny but painful tales of all that we've been through.

They're all great songs, but in my opinion, what sets this collection above others are the stories of lesser-known pioneers of baseball who faced discrimination, such as "Louis Sockalexis," about the first American Indian in the majors. And those who think Chief Wahoo is cool might think twice after hearing "I'm Not Your Mascot, I'm a Man."

Another strong number is "Smokey Joe", about an early black pitcher who was"so good, Ty Cobb (yes, that Ty Cobb!) had to say he'd win 30 games anyday"but was barred from the white leagues his whole career.

A natural follow-up to that song; is "Let's Not Forget," which recalls the players of the Negro Leagues who endured nasty treatment as well. The best line is, "Robinson slid home to end this national shame, bunted home by blacks who long ago played the game."

There's even a spirited tribute to a special, very loyal lady named Dorothy in "Who's the Greatest Red Sox Fan?"

And finally, "The Hottest Game" recalls the day Beantown played Baltimore in 1894 and went up in flames after John McGraw got in a fight (what else is new?) with "Fog Horn" Tucker. Meanwhile a few bone-headed fans clamored for the game to go on. That day had tragic consequences for thousands of Boston's citizens.

I did notice a sameness in the beat of the lyrics, but Joe Pickering's concepts are fresh. Phil Coley's snappy arrangements and country-style singing make each song heart-felt, and his band spices things up with irresistible licks.

This is a great collection of songs to get us through the off-season. Even more, it's a lively piece of baseball history that you can sing along to or use in classrooms everywhere! (And you just might even develop a taste for Maine lobster and blueberries.)

HBO will feature one of the songs........2003-08-25

News flash: One of the songs from this CD will be on HBO!
This is a great collection of baseball songs that every fan should have. I have enjoyed listening to this CD. The humor and wit found in the lyrics of these songs is astounding. You don't have to be a Red Sox fan to appreciate the inspiration of these songs. On September 16th HBO will air the documentary The Curse of the Bambino. One of the songs to be used in the documentary is Babe Ruth's Curse 1. You don't want to miss it. I really, really enjoyed these songs!
