Sousa's marches.......2007-06-28

Excellent CD! I'm happy with the speed in which it arrived at our home.

OK, But Not As Good As the Original.......2006-08-12

It's OK, but doesn't have the quality of Sousa's original songs which were also played by a United States Marine Band.

Sousa Marches, MC Band.......2006-08-04

I was totally happy with the CD. It was everything I expected it to be. Thanks Much

This is so great!.......2005-03-27

This music speaks to my inner being, my father was a Marine with the ETC, and it was not an easy time. Music like this helped him think about how the best things in life are two doors down on the left, just a shade away from peace. I love this music, track 13 speaks to me so much that I am not sure if I have the time to listen as much as I want to! Such great music!

A Great Sousa Collection.......2004-12-15

These recordings seem to date from the 1960s and reflect a style of play that is impossible to find today. Some people might consider the sound to be too bright, the entrances too aggressive. But I think this is more authentic for Sousa than what one generally hears today. Sousa himself is known to have preferred "enthusiastic" entrances from his players, to have favored an "orchestral" sonority for his band and to have played his marches in strict tempo with no ritards or tempo changes. That is what you have on this disc, which features the Marine Band under Lt. Col. Albert Schoepper, who also conducts on Volume 3 of Altissimo's Sousa Original series.

When a hip-hop album opens with a collaboration with modern-day prog-rockers the Mars Volta, you know to expect the unexpected. That's pretty much what Brooklyn's El-P (born Jaime Meline) has been delivering since day one, first as a member of now-defunct indie-rap heroes Company Flow and later as founder of the maverick New York label Definitive Jux. Trent Reznor and Cat Power also show up on his first new release in five years, but El-P remains the one to watch, rattling off his typically complex rhymes about the state of the world (and the bedroom) over the cling-clang of industrial beats and frenzied noise. It's dense and weird and sometimes even scary, all of which makes it a marked improvement over the usual Saturday night boom-bap. --Aidin Vaziri

Only a provisional four - could well become five.......2007-07-09

I'm at the stage with this album whereby I think it's pretty much a classic but I could end up losing interest soon. The real test is whether I get that hit a couple of months in where I listen to it once at find something even more spectacular about it.

So far I love it: the extended, prog-rock beats and electronics/noises of all descriptions. My favourites are probably the first track, last and many of the others in between. It's a lot easier to say which tracks I don't find 100% great. Flyentology has a slightly monotonous and boring beat which doesn't quite seem as dark or deep as some of his other tracks but it's still pretty good.

I bought this quite soon after getting Fantastic Damage and am currently in a sort of EL-P mode which could mean I'm a little biased but this is definitely worth a listen.

PERFECT. .......2007-06-16

this is one of, or the best of the year. Everything is put together so well! it has some famous stars on it, but you don't notice them/they don't distract as often happens. It's all just layred together perfectly. Don't miss.

Broke The Rules.......2007-06-14

This album can make you smarter.

this album gets deep into the darkside within.

I have no words........2007-06-10

I don't really like rap. Like, at all. This album made me rethink everything. As I said, I have no words, this album left me breathless. If there's one album you buy this year, make it this one. You won't regret it. Simply amazing.

I'll Sleep When You're Dead.......2007-06-07

Hip-hop was becoming a tired institution when El-P, Bigg Jus and Mr. Len (under the moniker Company Flow) recorded one of the most stunning hip-hop albums of the '90s. Bleak, raw, and verbally devastating, 1997's Funcrusher Plus provided a real alternative to G-funk as the three fireball emcees rapped about war, corporate greed and extraterrestrial evil over bargain-basement beats and unsettling ambience. Over the next few years, El-P built up his Definitive Jux label and released a stream of high-quality recordings by some of the most vital emcees in the game, nearly all of whom used Funcrusher Plus as a blueprint to varying degrees. The label had gone quiet in 2007 when rumors of a new El-P record finally surfaced, sending excited twitters through the underground community. Some questioned the rapper's intent when they found out that the album would feature collaborations with Trent Reznor ("hmm"), The Mars Volta ("uh..."), and Chan Marshall of Cat Power ("are you serious?"), but most were fairly certain that it would pulverize in typical El-P fashion.

And pulverize it does. I'll Sleep When You're Dead feels absolutely ferocious; it's the roaring, heavy metal counterpart to Funcrusher Plus's skeletal hardcore punk, and it takes no prisoners from its galvanizing start to its death knell of an ending. Songs are packed to the gills with weird, ungodly noises, melodies appear and disappear like holographs, and dense yet nuanced rhymes roll atop percussion that could have been created by actual weaponry. Indeed, there's so much violence on this record that it should be traumatic to drink in, but El-P's skill and insight on the mic, his studio perfectionism and his flair for idiosyncratic drum programming keep the proceedings as gripping as a 13-car pileup.

Deeper listening reveals that Sleep thrives on a couple of paradoxes. First, the album maintains its focus and cohesion even as it spins off in many different directions. The doomy atmosphere of "Tasmanian Pain Coaster" doesn't sound much like the Brooklynese bounce of "EMG" or the almost operatic "Poisenville Kids No Wins," but even with the diversity (which is inevitable, what with the hundreds of sounds being employed), it's clear that there is a particular aural agenda at work. I'll Sleep When You're Dead sounds uncannily like a comic book, which isn't to knock it; after all, comic books these days attain a level of darkness and extremity that filmmakers are often too risk-averse to attempt. Imagine swarms of robotic flying insects in the Invader Zim cartoon from your worst nightmare raining down machine gun fire and you're getting close.

The second paradox has to do with El-P's lyrics, which attend to personal and universal problems as though they're both part of the same sick plan for humanity that was doomed from the very beginning. While Clipse's Malice and Pusha T believe that a worldly issue (coke dealing) affected their personal states (thickly obfuscated misery), El-P flips the algorithm: He views every act of savagery--from speeding cars to sexual abuse--as indicative of the world's endemic evil. Though it's clear that he doesn't want any part of it, he admits has no choice. He calls himself the "son of urban confusion hatched in a pit where brutes live" and "half a robotic monkey ugly born of a viral agent." Like Nas on his classic Illmatic, El-P simply speaks about what he sees and uses his observations as a form of social protest, reinforcing the idea that the most affecting hip-hop finds a middle ground between slouching back in the seat of a flashy convertible and trying to change the world. His raps have slowed down a bit from his previous work to become part of the rich milieu and to let us latch onto every grim metaphor he hurls our way, but don't worry; El-P's flow will still knock you out of your chair.

And the collaborations? They're all excellent, probably because El-P isn't concerned about flattering his guests, writing his songs his way and using Reznor, Marshall, Rodriguez-Lopez and Bixler-Zavala purely as filigree. The Mars Volta caps off the blitzkrieg "Tasmanian Pain Coaster" with an a funereal trudge, Marshall lends her emphatic torch singing to the chorus of "Poisenville Kids No Wins," and Reznor's sinister cackle seems form-fitted to the electronic torture chamber of "Flyentology." Though they do seem like unorthodox choices, especially compared to Def Jux labelmates Cage and Aesop Rock, all of these artists deal with depravity in their own music (albeit in different ways), and after a few listens, their additions on this album click oddly into place.

I'll Sleep When You're Dead is an utterly urgent recording, something that (unfortunately) feels appropriate for our perpetual state of emergency. Nas once famously spit, "I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death," to which El-P eventually paid tribute: "The timepiece must've read early morning at least, so I laid death's cousin, woken by the silence of the peace." The title of this record, then, seems like less of a threat and more of a helpless prayer to a deaf higher power. Something tells me that, deep down, El-P wishes that there wasn't any need for him to enter the rap world and do what he does. But as long as we live on Earth, this record is as good a warning as any to sleep with one eye open.

She was famous as both artist and model, infamous as political revolutionary and social libertine, and Frida Kahlo's controversial life couldn't help but seem the stuff of great musical theater. Her story is brought to the screen by director Julie Taymor, whose musical compatriot here is also her husband; Elliot Goldenthal, student of both Copland and Corigliani, shrewdly sublimates his modernism in service of the rich, evocative music and songs of Mexico and Central America. Utilizing performers that range from the contemporary (Lila Downs) to the folk-classic (Costa Rican legend Chavela Vargas; Brazilian star Caetano Veloso) and traditional (Los Cojolites, El Poder Del Norte, Trio Huasteca, Caimanes de Tanquin, and others), Goldenthal generously displays the true breadth of Mexican folk music, while seamlessly infusing it with the minimalist corners of his own underscore and some winning songwriting of his own. The result is one of 2002's most compelling soundtracks. The enhanced CD features include musical film excerpts, as well as a video conversation between Goldenthal and star Salma Hayek and text interviews with the composer and director Taymor. --Jerry McCulley

Revolutionary times.......2007-05-14

I absolutely love this soundtrack! Everytime I listen to it, I feel as though I am in Mexico during the revolution and Frida's life. Everyone should choose their own life soundtrack and this one allows us to see into Frida's life more clearly.

Black Dove.......2007-05-13

Fell into the movie trying to avoid study and hang out with a jilted housemate. If I'm honest, Salma Hayek was the main draw. Wafer thin.
However, I was enraptured by the story of Frida and the amazing performance (no wonder she was oscar nominated).
I bought the soundtrack the next morning. It really got to me.This is a great soundtrack and, yes, it does help if you have seen the movie but not necessary. I loved the latin passion (highs and lows). Chervala Vargas as Elliot Goldenthal describes in the slieve was once Frida's lover. I loved her Paloma Negra. So powerful.
There is something for everyone in this long soundtrack.
Do as i have: watch the movie and buy the soundtrack. Worth the time and money.

makes me want to dance .......2007-05-07

I really enjoyed the CD, the musical selection is great and it seems very authentic.

Enjoy!.......2006-12-30

I purchased this CD after seeing the movie. The music is enjoyable to listen to and passionate as I would think Frida was. I purchased this CD a second time to give to a female Hispanic artist who identifies with the trials and tribulations of Frida. This artist now paints while listening to this CD. Her artwork not only has improved but has become popular. I defiantly recommend its purchase.

FRIDA would be proud.......2006-10-20

Simply perfection. Each song will move you. I dont really even understand Spanish ( only simple conversational Spanish) and it strums my every emotion. I just LOVE it!

Disappointed, but still good.......2007-05-12

I bought all 3 CD's at once, having only heard Right Now Right Now before and had high hopes. Something changed in this one. They end was really preachy which is not at all the George I've grown to love. He is usually successful at supporting Hispanics without pushing anyone else down. This one felt kind of anti-white (or anyone else) at the end. It's still a good CD, but after loving the other 2 so much the bar was set kind of high and this one didn't make it. If you're choosing between them get one of the other ones, if you want all things George Lopez then this should be in your collection.

Amazon.com

This ambitious, 10-track CD by the Spanish vocalist/composer Alejandro Sanz translates into English as The Train of Moments. Sanz's Andalusian-aired, flamenco-flavored vocals are backed by co-producer Lulo Perez's evocative synth arrangements and urban beats--with the help of Mana drummer, Alex Gonzalez, and Ketama vocalist Antonio Carmona--and other hip collaborations. Sanz teams up with Shakira on the spare, Brazilianized track "Te lo Agradezco, Pero No" and mixes it up with the rap duo Calle 13 and guitarist Juanes on the hip-hop/reggaeton-friendly ode to female seduction "La Peleita." The martial and moody video single "A la Primera Persona" contrasts with the rock-ish "Se Molestan" and the jazz-tinged piano chords on "Donde Convergemos." Sanz has been a pan-Latino powerhouse for over 15 years, and this recording will no doubt solidify and expand his position in that pantheon. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Album Description

Album includes collaborations with Shakira, Juanes, Calle 13, and Alex Gonzalez. Production contributions by Thom Russo (Audioslave, Macy Gray, Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton, and Mana).

Customer Reviews:

"El Maestro Sanz".......2007-06-08

Alejandro Sanz is still the greatest composer in Spanish music today. This artist's music has definitely evolved throughout the years and in this latest compilation, Alejandro has expanded his music genres and attempted to mix several rhythms creating various styles of music. The simple ballads he once composed are no longer found; however, there are still some that remind you of his stylized thought provoking ballads. There are several songs Sanz decided to experiment with, which some people who loved his music may not enjoy; however if you are a true Alejandro sanz fan you can appreciate his genius in developing his music and lyrics. There are some very powerful songs and the lyrics are genius; however others are a little too experimental for my tastes. I recommend this compilation, probably not one of my favorite CD's from him but if you are still wondering about getting this CD, maybe just download a couple of his songs.

Great come back.......2007-05-11

Nice music. Sanz returned to his roots and included excellent duets with Residente (Calle 13), Shakira and Juanes. Highly recommended CD.

Este disco no tiene desperdicio. Está formulado bajo el ritmo más maduro actual de Alejandro Sanz y la participación de los demás artistas (Shakira, Juanes, Calle 13) se deja sentir.

Si te gusta la música de Sanz, especialmente sus últimos discos, disfrutarás este disco sin lugar a dudas.

Sanz put a good one in the stores!.......2007-01-18

Well when i bought this cd, my first comment about it was that's good music, not a masterpiece but good work.

then I put special interest in the lyrics, and wow "TE QUIERO Y TE TEMO" is AN EPIC SONG, the feeling, the intensity, Is the passion of a couple in their love and hate moments, that's my song in this album, other good songs are Se lo dices tu, Ensename Tus manos, te lo agradezco pero no, A la primera persona, And en la planta de tus pies.

Great album, not his best but A GREAT ONE.

A Solid Band Finding Improvement By Learning From Their Mistakes!.......2007-06-21

Rewind to October 10, 2000, post-grunge band Collective Soul released their most pop-oriented album to date, their fifth album entitled "Blender." In an effort to maintain commercial success, Collective Soul attempted to target a younger audience by altering their sound as well as their look. Though the 11 songs on "Blender," along with the rest of the band's music catalog, is far superior than the competition, the album clearly fell short of the band's potential.

Their sixth studio album entitled "Youth," which was released on November 16, 2004, is considered by many as their "big comeback album." The record is similar to "Blender" in its production, however, the sound showcases a healthy balance between their old and new sounds. Highlights of the album include the catchy and impressive "Perfect To Stay," the flawless "How Do You Love," and "Under Heaven's Skies" as well as a song displaying the band's signature sound, "Counting The Days." Below, please find the rating for each song individually:

Better Now - 10/10

best collective soul album yet.......2006-12-01

I've been a fan of CS from the first album on, and this is their best, in my opinion. It has that unique sound to it that only this band can pull off. You know, that light and airy quality to their music, and yet it has a deeper thoughtful quality to both the music and the lyrics. I've always admired the fact that CS has not adapted their music at all to the bubble-gum mainstream garbage out on the air waves today. Their music today sounds the same as it did in the beginning. And that's not a sign of stagnancy. They have evolved and matured in the landscape of their own sound, not anyone else's sound. Basically, they haven't sold out and conformed to the top 40 crowd. Their new album, Youth, is a wonderful collection of sincere, unique melodies with lyrics that evoke a sense of love, community and definitely spirituality. My personal favorite tracks are There's A Way, Perfect To Stay, and General Attitude. No explicit or immoral messages on this album. Just peace, love and harmony in the form of good post-alt rock and roll. Above all, this album is fun. And shouldn't that be the reason we listen to music in the first place?

Great Collective Soul CD.......2006-11-12

As a long-time Collective Soul fan, I can assure you this is their strongest full album yet with a number of top-rated songs. Great, great stuff. The only thing better is seing it done live. A must-have for fans of great music.

3-1/2 stars -- Calm, cool and collected...sort of.......2006-08-10

It's been a long time since people had heard from the quintet known as Collective Soul; in fact, I wasn't aware they'd made a comeback at all until I saw them perform on the Tonight Show a month or so ago. I don't remember what song they did (I think it was "Better Now", though), but they sounded pretty decent, so I decided to check out Youth to see if they still had it.

Well, yes and no. For one thing, it's surprising that Ed Roland and the boys left Atlantic Records and jumped to an indie label for this album. But for the most part, things do sound fine. The melodies are as good as they've always been, but the lyrics...well, not to start an argument, but I was initially wondering why they titled the album Youth, and after listening to it, I came to the conclusion that it could be because some of the songs sound like a youth wrote them ("Feels Right (It Feels All Right)" and "Under Heaven's Skies" come readily to mind).

There are a few other songs that are lyrically challenged, but thankfully there are more songs that sound better, like "Satellite", "General Attitude" and especially "How Do You Love" (actually, the lyrics in the latter don't look like much on paper either, but it's all in the way Ed sings them). In short, Youth feels more like a safe album than a truly great album. There isn't a "Shine" or "December" to be found on here, but it's still above-average. If you're a hardcore Collective Soul fan, you'll either love it or hate it, so pick it up and make your own judgment.

Having watched him throw away the prime years of his career on smack and prison, Steve Earle fans were reassured by the singer's 1995 comeback, Train A Comin', where he reclaimed the past in exquisite acoustic arrangements. They were further encouraged by the 1996 followup, I Feel Alright, which staked out the present with rock & roll defiance. Their patient faith was rewarded with El Corazon, an album that no longer looks back at those lost years but looks forward to the rest of Earle's career. Combining the sheer beauty of Train A Comin' with the bristling energy of I Feel Alright, El Corazon plows new ground with Earle's most explicitly political song yet, his furthest leap into another character's voice, a hard-core bluegrass number with the Del McCoury Band, and a hard-core grunge rocker with the Supersuckers. Earle turns the Fairfield Four into the Jordanaires behind his Elvis vocal on "Telephone Road," and he imitates Townes Van Zandt's austere minimalism even as he sings an elegy to his late mentor on "Fort Worth Blues." All in all, these dozen tunes are the best songwriting Earle has produced since his 1986 breakthrough, Guitar Town, and he sings them with the take-it-or-leave-it authority of someone who has nothing left to prove. On the album's first and best song, "Christmas in Washington," he offers a mournful prayer to Woody Guthrie to come back and rescue us from an era of wishy-washy Democrats and ruthless Republicans; Earle sings it as if his prayer had been answered and the Okie troubadour's ghost had found a home in his belly. --Geoffrey Himes

Hearts On Fire.......2007-03-22

Steve Earle's fall from grace has been well documented, as was his recovery. I was working as a writer in Nashville when the stories about Earle begging for change outside of clubs were circulating. As the artist behind one of my favorite CD's of all time, "Copperhead Road," it disturbed me that a talent of this magnitude had dropped down so far.

"El Corazon" is the CD that changed that for good. Having gotten the past out of his system on "Train a'Coming" and "I Feel Alright," "El Corazon" finds him at a peak of songwriting, rediscovering his voice and reclaiming country from the world of hat acts. He brings in the Fairfield Four to channel Elvis Presley on "Telephone Road." Emmylou Harris drops in for vocals on "Taneytown." There's some near bluegrass on "The Other Side Of Town." And to top it off, Earle revisits his days as a musical bad boy by bringing in SubPop artists The Supersuckers to grunge up "NYC."

Earle also regains his social voice here. On the songs "Christmas In Washington," "Taneytown" and "Ft Worth Blues," Earle begins the turn into politics that would boil over into controversy once "Jerusalem" and "The Revolution Starts Now" were ultimately released. "Ft Worth Blues" is an eulogy to Towns Van Zandt, and a beautiful closer to the CD. It is, however, on "Christmas In Washington" that Earle measures up to Van Zandt's best work, as well as Woody Guthrie, the song's obvious inspiration. Decrying a nation's capitol where the Democrats sat frozen with fear after the Impeachment hearings were tossed and the Republicans began to overtly plot their revenge, Earle asks why no-one else seems to notice...or for that matter, care. It is such a potent song that even Joan Baez has covered it.

Although some here on Amazon have claimed "Christmas In Washington" is a weak song to lead "El Corazon," I respectfully disagree. It sets the voice of the CD into a troubadour mode, with "Ft Worth Blues" paying the perfect tribute at the end. In between, the stylistic mix shows that Steve Earle had overcome his long odds and recovered his rightful place as a singer and songwriter among the long lost country outlaws. A reminder that the Nashville establishment gave up on authenticity decades ago, "El Corazon" is music with a real heart.

A Classic.......2006-02-24

Back when this album was released, I remember falling immediately under its spell. Years later and... it's only grown stronger. It may well be Steve's finest hour--that's a tough call, granted, and one that on another day, in another mood, I might quibble with myself. But here he covers all of the bases: acoustic-folk, heavy-duty rock 'n' roll, message music, story songs and ... forget it. Why explain the unexplainable? Just plug this sucker into the CD player and crank it: Buttressed by Emmylou Harris' haunting harmonies and Steve's own gritty delivery, the thud-thick, Crazy Horse-like chords of "Taneytown" will leave you on the floor. Same with "If You Fall": killer chords, killer vocals, killer lyrics .... followed by the birth of something grand: "I Still Carry You Around," the inspiration for Steve's collaboration with The Del McCoury Band, The Mountain. Another highlight is "Poison Lovers," a duet with Siobhan Kennedy that's just plain intoxicating--if you're like me, you'll be hitting the "repeat" button ad infinitum. And then, of course, there's Steve's incisive tribute to the late Townes Van Zandt, "Ft. Worth Blues." In short, rock 'n' roll, country, where ever the hell you classify Steve, music doesn't get any better than this.

My favorite?.......2006-02-16

I love this album. It contains my favorite bluegrass-style tunes, traditional country, heartfelt political pieces, and driving rock. It's Steve Earle at his best. I think it's a must have for anyone interested in his music.

The heart of the catalog.......2006-02-03

Of all of Steve Earle's albums, this is probably the best one. He plays many different styles here, my personal favorite being N.Y.C.. I went to the NY show on the tour for this album, where he played three solid hours and was firing on all cylinders. Only a very subtle hint of those nasty politics in the first track. This album is great fun.

Pure talent, really good........2006-12-17

I really enjoy listening to this group because of several things. I really like the idea of the dramatic lyrics such as "no me dejaste otra opcion que arrancarme la piel y aguantar el dolor" (you didn't give me a choice but to tear my flesh and bear the pain) on "PARA NO DECIRTE ADIOS" or "ahora que te vas yo te guardo un sentimiento porque se que no es correcto dejar nuestra vida atras. Ahora que te vas, ahora que te veo marchar, antes debo confesarte que has dejado un plato sucio en tu lugar" (now that you're leaving I still keep a feeling beacuse I know that isn't right leave our lives behind. Now that you're leaving, now that I see you walk away, before that I must confess that you left a dirty dish on your place) on "AHORA QUE TE VAS" I really feel Natalia giving her best on lines like this. Then Natalia's voice is very good, she has a great voice and she performs flawlessly.
I really liked "FLORES DE ALQUILER" their previous album that made them known and gave them the international success that they they needed to continue with their career. "EL MUNDO SE EQUIVOCA" follows the same direction and has the same quality. The first single "TU PEOR ERROR" is a great song that had been a big success along Latin America, Spain and the U.S.
From my point of view the best songs are "TU PEOR ERROR", "AHORA QUE TE VAS", "PARA NO DECIRTE ADIOS", "NADA" and "COSA DE DOS". Check the album it is really very good.

Although this is a new genre for Christian, his voice performs seamlessly. The DVD and extra songs are well worth the few extra dollars for the special edition CD
