Customer Reviews:

Very good for America fans.......2007-06-10

It's nice having these lesser known America albums available on CD, my only beef is it doesn't include (I'm sure for time) the Alibi track "Coastline", one of my favorites from the LP which I still fortunately own. Having said that, it is a good package for America fans.

A nice package.......2007-02-17

This is a nice collection of two of America's lesser known albums, 1979's "Silent Letter" and 1980's "Alibi". Neither album was a hit in the US but they are not bad.

"Silent Letter" was America's last collaboration with legendary Beatles producer George Martin. It produced a few minor hits: "Only Game in Town", "All My Life", and "All Around."

While "Alibi" went vertually unnoticed in the US, it was a big hit overseas. "Survival" was a number 1 hit in Europe and it contains one of my favorite America rockers "Valentine".

This is not a bad collection to have if you do not already own the individual CDs.

America cd.......2007-02-12

Great to have both of these albums on one cd,especially since no one seemed to have "Alibi" available since vinyl or cassette.

Her best!.......2002-01-05

This is Bethania's great masterpiece, and the album that made her a superstar. One of her most successful releases -- both aesthetically and commercially. Soft, romantic jazz-pop balladry with tasteful and effectively understated keyboard-and-string arrangements throughout -- it's slick, but in a very good way. This is as good as her torch song style gets, and the album still holds up very well. Features a haunting version of Chico Buarque's "Calice," as well as the transcendently sweet duet with Gal Costa, "Sonho Meu."

Customer Reviews:

Adrian Vandenberg - guitarist extraordinaire.......2006-03-07

Vandenberg's third and final release came out in 1986. This guy belongs in the same class as guitarists like Tony MacAlpine, Vinnie Moore and Micheal Schenker. Metal guitar with classical overtones - he is great.

One of my favorite ballads of all time is "How Long" from this release. Great bass accompaniment with the slow guitar sounds - it amazes me that this was never released as a single as I'm sure it would have been a huge hit.

The other ballad here is "Once In A Lifetime" that is also excellent. I'm sure Adrian Vandenberg probably got a higher paying gig with Whitesnake in the late 1980's, but I wish he had continued to write things like this - I really miss him.

This album is a good listen from start to finish. The all out rockers are "Dressed To Kill", "Fighting Against The World", and the incredible instrumental "Kamikaze". Vandenberg's fret work on "Kamikaze" make this a must-buy along with the ballads.

"Prelude Mortale" is a short instrumental of classical acoustic guitar. Put this one in the same league and Edward Van Halen's "Spanish Fly" from VAN HALEN II.

The rest of this straight ahead hard rock. I had this on cassette back in 1985 and it had not been available on CD's until Wounded Bird Records re-released this 80's gem a few years ago, with Vandenberg's other two albums. Can't tell you how delighted I was to see this again. If you see this at a good price, grab it - you never know when it will be unavailable again.

Very solid record.......2004-04-04

First of all, it's nice to see this great record from 1985 re-issued. The ridiculous import prices made me say "alleluia" when Wounded Bird re-issued it several years ago. (By the way, I purchased it from Wounded Bird for about $10.99 if I recall correctly).

This is Vandenberg's third and final studio disc. The production is pretty clear and the instruments and vocals balance well. The songs retain a strong flavor similar to those on "Heading for a Storm". Standout tracks are the uptempo tracks "Voodoo" and "Fighting Against the World". "All The Way" and "Pedal to the Metal" kick off the disc in a rockin' fashion.

Another highlight is "Prelude Mortale" which leads into "Alibi". "Prelude" is a solo classical piece from Adrian and it's terrific. Apparently, Adrian's mom loves his classical guitar playing, so he always tried to put at least piece on Vandenberg's records. "Alibi" is a truly catchy tune with a hooky chorus.

High energy Afro-Cuban-Jazz-Funk-what-else fusion........2004-08-10

The Motet quickly became one of the most popular bands in Colorado, and their popularity is now growing nationwide. Basically, you have a lot of talented musicians combined with a unique edge. That being a very powerful percussion base. Although their style seems to change every other month, and with every new release (now 3 studio albums plus this live album), the percussion base and jazz influences are always present. This album also features some singing by their former lead singer, Jans Ingber. Also has some Lara Maykovich (http://www.aphrodesia.org/index.htm) on some of the background vocals. Very high energy band whose sound is difficult to classify.

Customer Reviews:

another great America effort.......2006-01-16

I think this album has some great songs. Valentine is a great rocker song and while it is not a usual America melodic tune, it is still a great song. You could have been the one is a classic. This is a must for America lovers.

gerry great, dewey less so.......2005-02-04

This album is pretty unmemorable. Gerry is excellent as always with the fairly well known and melodic 'survival'. He handles 'don't believe in miracles' nicely. The best are his two songs near the end of the album. 'Coastline' sounds like it is influenced by the beach boys, and is beautiful. My fave song is the gorgeous melodic 'one in a million'. Lovely ballad.

The other covers are just plain boring and I usually skip them.

Dewey's songs tend to rock more here than any other album. 'Might be your love' has a nice verse, but the chorus is repetitive.
'Hangover' is rubbish and tries to rock but is just plain embarrassing. And 'valentine' is just unmelodic and just not America's style.

'Silent Letter' was way way better. This is among America's weaker efforts.

Alibi for those early 80s.......2004-07-03

This album helped me enjoy long days of study during those early '80s, when I started Engineering studies in Neuquen city, Patagonia Argentina. No doubt Alibi did hit my soul with America's own style.

Very good.......2003-09-04

A very good album that went unnoticed when it was released. Only their second studio album after Dan Peek left, Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley make up for the loss of Peek by recording several songs they did not write. It works very well. While none of the songs became even minor hits in the US, several songs were hits in other countries like Survival and Right Back To Me. Best songs include Catch That Train, I Do Believe In You, and Valentine (which I think may be America's best rocker). One thing that may have hurt the album was the cover. While it is very colorful, it tends to turn many people off. They also changed their standard America logo.

Album Description

Happening is a psychedelic montage with the centerpiece being the music from three important soundtracks from the maestro's oeuvre: The Serpent, Bluebeard and Burn! El. 2005.

Album Details

This Album is the Fifth of Our Very Successful El's Themed Ennio Morricone Compilations. "Morricone Happening" is a Psychedelic Montage with the Centrepiece Being the Music from Three Important Soundtracks from the Maestro's Oeuvre; "The Serpent" (Yul Brynner, Dirk Bogarde, Henry Fonda), "Bluebeard"(Richard Burton) and "Burn!" (Marlon Brando's Best Screen Performance). With this Album We Reach the Point Where Mojo and Q Should Be Writing About Ennio Morricone as the Master of Psychedelia. This Music is Far Ahead of It's Time....if You Want a Glimpse of What Pop Might Be in the Future.

For singer Claire Martin, 1999's Take My Heart signaled a major shift in direction, as she moved from the world of standards and acoustic jazz to pop songs and production values. Perfect Alibi proceeds further in the transformation of Martin from jazz singer to mainstream pop artist, but her exceptional voice is still impressive, with its subtle blend of transparency and rich harmonics and her sense of a lyric's secret recesses. Producer and engineer Paul Stacey and fellow multi-instrumentalist Charlotte Glasson provided the arrangements, Stacey's for a small group with his own guitars, electric bass, and keyboards, and Glasson for tracks with a mini-orchestra of strings and winds. The overdubbing--Glasson plays viola, flute, and baritone on "How Can I Be Sure?"--rules out the interaction that fueled Martin's early CDs. The songs come from writers as varied as Laura Nyro, John Martyn, and Todd Rundgren, but it's more a matter of what catches Martin's imagination than any innate qualities that determine the results. Jimi Hendrix's "Up from the Skies" never suggests a rationale, but Al Kooper's "More Than You'll Ever Know" is a soulful success. "People Make the World Go Round" is superb pop, with Martin's breathy alto an emotional reservoir amidst the light pop of the background. There's a resonant depth to Martin's voice, an ineffable quality that lends an elegiac depth to some of these songs, often making them utterly different from their original recordings. --Stuart Broomer

Customer Reviews:

Mellow pop-jazz album full of quality.......2003-08-09

Claire's roots are in jazz, but this album is further from her jazz roots than anything else she has recorded so far. I love her jazz music, but this album gives Claire a chance to show that she can mix jazz with pop and soul.

The opening track, How can I be sure, was an American hit for the Rascals but a British hit for Dusty Springfield and it likely that Claire (a Brit) was inspired by Dusty's version. On an album such as this, it is surprising to find a Jimi Hendrix cover (Up from the skies) but I think Claire's interpretation of the song is wonderful. There are at least a couple of original songs (Strangers now, Over by Allenby) and several covers of generally obscure material, but the whole album flows well and sets its own mood.

This is a brilliant album - Claire has never done anything else - but with all the different influences, it is more accessible to pop music fans than her other albums. Jazz fans must make up their own minds about this album (most will enjoy it anyway), but Claire's best ever album is her 2002 release Too darn hot, which is a real treat for jazz fans.

ANOTHER WINNER.......2003-06-29

Another great release from this smooth and smokey jazz singer...this time Claire is moving in a different direction fusing pop and soul with a jazz feel...and what a lot of feeling she puts into it...People Make The World Go Round simply SIZZLES with a slow groovy jazz vibe...u will not be dissapointed

Pure Pop for Now People !.......2001-10-19

What a tremendous surprise this disc was! Having only been vaguely familiar with Ms. Martin's previous work I had no real expectations...but upon listening to this cd at the local record (cd) store I didn't hesitate to have my very own copy. Why? I'm glad you asked!

Where to begin? For starters... any cd that starts off with a wonderful rendition of the Rascals "How Can I Be Sure" is certainly a big hit with me already! A truly marvelous song she handles it very well and for that she receives kudos. The rest of the journey is equally enjoyable with songs written by Todd Rundgren,Lauro Nyro and best of all the Spinners,"People Make the World Go Round" a song that still has relevance today.Add to the mix a Jimi Hendrix tune and you may be able to tell that, in this case, variety truly is the "spice of life."

Taken as a whole this cd sounds as though everyone was truly enjoying themselves and it comes across to the listener. I must say that any singer who enjoys taking material perhaps not so well known and making it her own is someone I have a certain degree of repect for...at least musically. By tackling these songs Claire has certainly earned my respect for her efforts. No, not ground-breaking music here, just a disc made up of wonderful "pop" songs, lovingly crafted and impeccably sung!

So, at the risk of getting positively "gushy" I would suggest you get your own copy as well. Imagine your friends surprise upon hearing this disc the very first time! A trend-setter you will be....but then we knew that! Didn't we? ENJOY!

The best chill and erotica box set ever!!!.......2005-03-16

I must agree with the previous writer; this CD set contains CDS-200 copy protection which requires you to install a program on your cpu to play highly compressed versions of the songs that sound like garbage! If one pays for the cd, then why can they not copy it to his player of choice? The music industry is totally going about combatting music piracy the wrong way! Maybe they should lower CD prices to compete with piracy, but then they would lose their huge profits. We all know that the musicians see little of that money anyway.

Enough of my ranting... this boxset is absolutely amazing! Forget about Morricone's spaghetti western music... this is where it is! The first disc is my absolute favorite, then followed by the third. His unique arrangements are comparable to no one. Although, the lounge revival is long past us, this music is timeless and will leave you begging for more.

Check out the soundtracks to Le Casse, Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, and La Donna Invisible.

Great Box Set but has Copy Protection!.......2004-09-22

Ennio Morricone is the master of Italian soundtracks. Listening to these gems transports you inside the movies! This is a great box set especially at the price being offered by Amazon. This same box set goes for $50 and more at other sites. But there's something very ugly lurking in this box set: It has the Macrovision CDS-200 copy protection. Which means people who enjoy taking their music with them on portable devices will have lots of Internet searching to do to find out how to rip these 3 wonderful CDs! Shame on Amazon for not pointing this out in their description. Other internet sites that sell this box set, do disclaim that it has copy protection. Macrovision has supposedly released a CDS-300 version of their copy protection, but there is no news regarding whether this box set will be re-released with the newer copy protection. The new version does allow you to rip it for personal use.

You can get around it, I won't tell you how, but you can! No, I'm not a pirate, I own over 800 CDs that I've purchased all legally, I don't trade my mp3s, but I like to take my music with me.

It's a shame that people like me that do purchase CDs instead of downloading the crap that's out there have to pay the price.

Sincerely,

Frank Castro

Mucho Maestro.......2004-06-10

I'm not sure which is more amazing--the sheer overwhelming volume of films Ennio Morricone has scored over the years, or the fact that he has produced so much beautiful music in the service of so many obscure, second-rate and otherwise forgettable ones. There is a generous sampling of the latter on display in this 3-disc set, culled from late-sixties and early-seventies films whose titles even the most hardcore of movie--or Morricone--fans would be hard-pressed to recognize. And yet, as always, the variety, the quality and the beauty of the music is unsurpassed. This is a compilation for the Morricone collector who thinks he's heard it all before--there is very little of the overlap or duplication found in so many of the other compilations of this great artist's work. All of which gives the music a fresh, vibrant quality while remaining unmistakably, inimitably Morricone. Cool packaging too.
