Cleopatra

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
In 2002, the beautiful Canadian-Armenian soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian scored a major success when she appeared as Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, in Handel’s opera Giulio Cesare for the Canadian Opera Company. As one critic observed at that time, "Cleopatra is one of Handel’s most superb, and psychologically intricate, creations. The luminous Bayrakdarian has made a wonderful beginning in a role she will surely take to the great stages of the world—at first childishly seductive, then calculating, and ultimately revealing a profound nobility and vulnerability." For her third CD for CBC Records, Ms. Bayrakdarian has chosen arias from four works focusing on the Egyptian femme-fatale.

    5 out of 5 stars Yet Another Great Live Molly Hatchet Collection.......2007-07-21

    FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER LIVE is yet another great Molly Hatchet collection. Like LIVE IN HAMBURG, it features both a CD and a DVD, but here, both have the exact same songs. This may make you wonder why both are included, but that's just a minor quibble, as there are many great songs here, including the cautionary "Whiskey Man", which warns of the dangers of ANY addiction (drugs, alcohol, tobacco, food, gambling, caffeine); the celebratory/cautionary title song; the inspirational "Get In The Game" and "Dreams I'll Never See"; the regional celebrations "Gator Country/Dixie" and "Son Of The South; the deceased-wife tribute "Rainbow Bridge"; and many others. We could do without the drum solo, but guitarist Bobby Ingram's solo rendition of "Layla" is quite worthy. The fact that past and present band members currently advocate sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that cdountry's trumped-up 2005 drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist, increased funding for law enforcement, and capital punishment for kidnappers makes this CD/DVD an essential purchase for your ears, your eyes, AND your conscience.

    5 out of 5 stars Loud and Proud!!.......2007-07-09

    This CD/DVD is a must have for any Hatchet fan, or rock fan for that matter. Blazing twin leads, slide guitar, drum solo, dixie, and the boys in the band having a blast playing live! I had no problem with the DVD picture/sound quality.

    4 out of 5 stars LONG LIVE HATCHET!.......2007-07-05

    Sure they're not in the big arenas anymore, but that doesnt put a damper on their enormous rocking sound. One of the last southern rock legends that are still together, Hatchet, is still as power as their humble beginnings. The DVD/CD combo is an added treat!

    4 out of 5 stars DVD Sound.......2007-06-15

    I've watched the DVD twice and the only things that may make it seem out of sync are some echo machine reverbs of Phil McCormack's vocals, like the ha ha ha laugh in Bounty Hunter, and the fake crowd noise, which I don't understand or like. Once the songs get cranking it can barely be heard.
    I played the Hamburg DVD once, thought it was heavily overdubbed, focused too much on Bobby Ingram only, and almost tried to conceal Jake Rutter, the other guitarist then, in the shadows. He got all of 20 seconds solo time the whole show, at the end on Flirtin. On this new one the big boy (Hlubek) is back where he belongs and Phil is in fine form bellowing, growling and balladeering.
    Hatchet on a Tv screen is no substitute for the sonic assault of seeing these guys in person, but I enjoyed the hell out of it.

    5 out of 5 stars The Audio/Video matches perfectly on my copy..........2007-06-15

    No offense to Michelle, the author of a review below who states that "the audio on the DVD is out of sync with the video".

    This was an outright untrue statement. The video matches perfectly with the audio. Speaking as a professional musician and longtime 'Hatchet fan, I can assure everyone that there is no glitch in the audio/video of the DVD. I'm watching it right now - it matches up perfectly.

    Michelle, you should play your disc in another DVD player. If that doesn't work, return it and get another copy.

    With that said, this DVD blows the Hamburg DVD away! The sound is better, the video is crystal clear and up-close. And unlike Hamburg, there are ZERO studio over-dubs (other than some possible added crowd noise).

    Seeing and hearing Ingram and Hlubek hammer out those famous Molly Hatchet twin-leads are worth the price alone, not to mention that this is one of the lowest prices for a DVD/CD combo that I have ever paid for.

    The acoustic guitar/piano version of "Rainbow Bridge" is the best version that I've heard them play. Phil's soft vocals on this tune are an added touch.

    Gotta give it up to Cleopatra records - this DVD is some quality stuff.

    Congrats to the 'Hatchet boys on a great DVD!

    5 out of 5 stars This is southern Rocks BEST!.......2007-07-12

    WOW!,Medlocke is not missed on this one.Blackfoot always were the heaviest and most guitar savvy southern rockers.Everything on this disc is sonically awesome,Greg's Bass is like a punch in the gut.Great guitars and vocals. Buy this no worries.Also, Charley Hargrett is the coolest person in rock.

    5 out of 5 stars The flag is flying high.......2007-07-12

    As a long time fan it's great to see and hear Blackfoot in such good shape. They are still rocking and rolling with that boogie thing they have always had. You might think they are just old farts playing live jukebox like so many old bands but they are not. You can see they really enjoy playing live and you can feel the spirit and fire. Of course, we all miss Jackson and Ricky is making bigger money elsewhere. But still, Greg T. and company are keeping The Flag Flying High.

    2 out of 5 stars NO MEDLOCKE NO BLACKFOOT.......2007-07-11

    i bought it, and could not get past the fact that ricky medlocke and jakson spires are not a part of this. the vocals are not even close,nor are the two new guitarists trying to match medlockes ability.
    the new lineup gives it there best shot, not a total waste of money, but
    for me blackfoot is and always will be fronted by medlocke.

    5 out of 5 stars Not all original members, but still very good.......2007-06-18

    Ok, typically I will slam bands for using the original name and not having the key players on board and I was prepared to do that here, but this is not bad at all. Yes, Ricky Medlocke is not on board and yes he was the primary force behind Blackfoot. They do have the original bass player (Greg T Walker) and second guitarist (Charlie Hargrett) on hand though, so that's 1/2 of the band and I guess if Skynyrd can still use that name with only 2 of the original members out of 6 or 7 on board, Blackfoot can do the same. With that said, we have not one but two other guitar players/singers: Jay Johnson, who worked with Rossington-Collins and did the Skynyrd Tribute Tour, and Bobby Barth, who has extensive experience in the music business and was the mastermind behind the band Axe. Both capably contribute vocals and guitars. As a matter of fact, Barth handles the lower register vocals and Jay the upper register vocals and that are easily able to handle the range that Ricky had on the original Blackfoot material. Having both of them play guitar only adds to the fuller sound not unlike Skynyrd, Outlaws and Molly Hatchet. Bottom line is, you can approach this as a new spin on an old band that is very good or you can stay rooted in the past and run this down since Ricky is no longer involved. For the people who do that, you're really missing out as this performance is very energetic and captures some great old music. Everything is taken from the trilogy of "Strikes/Tomcattin'/Marauder" with the exception of two songs---and some of this material, I don't think Blackfoot ever played live back in the day, so it's very nice to hear some of the old album faves. Being an old-school Blackfoot fan, I recommend even though Ricky is not involved.

    5 out of 5 stars rockin cd and dvd .......2007-06-12

    I urge everyone to buy the cd/dvd combo! It is a great concert and Blackfoot is back! No need for Ricky Medlocke any more

    5 out of 5 stars Pretty close........2005-09-09

    This single-disc compilation makes a pretty good introduction to the legendary folk/ blues musician, Lead Belly. The sound quality is good and comparable to the more recent collection Absolutely the Best, and this CD contains many of the same standards as that album, including "The Bourgeois Blues," "In New Orleans," "Goodnight Irene" and "Where Did You Sleep Last Night," as well as additional classics such as "Yellow Gal," "Blue Tail Fly" and "The Boll Weevil Song." The only thing stopping this collection from being indisputably more definitive than Absolutely the Best is the unfortunate absence of "Midnight Special," a song famously covered by Creedence Clearwater Revival in the late 1960s, and probably one of Huddie's four or five most popular songs. My suggestion? If you're willing to shell out a bit more, then get this album along with Lead Belly Sings for Children, also available on Amazon. The latter contains the aformentioned "Midnight Special," as well as a number of wonderful children's songs, spirituals and medleys.

    4 out of 5 stars Almost.......2004-11-06

    You can't go wrong with this compilation. For a longer review, see the other reviewer's remarks. Remember no "best of" is best without "Midnight Special", recorded by a kajillion other artists. (Is there a Leadbelly estate?) Be prepared though for the sellers of any compilation including that song to stick a gun in your ribs for the CD(s). If you can afford more money, skip this one for the one with ...you get up in the mornin', you hear the ding dong ring...

    5 out of 5 stars One of the very best single-disc Leadbelly compilations.......2004-08-16

    This Cleopatra disc is a great place to start for those just getting acquainted with Huddie Ledbetter. It's not definitive, of course, but these fine transfers of Leadbelly's best-known songs will satisfy most casual fans, and while "Take This Hammer" (a part of the "When The Sun Goes Down"-series) is probably a little more accessible for the casual listener, you can't beat this disc as far as the song selection goes.

    More serious fans will of course want "The Definitive Leadbelly" from the Catfish label, or the multi-volume "Leadbelly Legacy" series from Smithsonian/Folkways, but this is a terrific starting point for the curious. Huddie Ledbetter, who usually performed solo accompanied only by his own twelve-string guitar, was the first black musician to gain recognition amongst the white audiences of the 20s and 30s, and this is essential early American blues and folk music.

    4 out of 5 stars Must have original blues.......2000-06-15

    Lead Belly was the basis of todays modern blues. If you have ever heard the gospel blues of the early 20 th century you must have this album. Blind Willie Johnson, Son House, and Lead Belly these were the original deep rooted spitually agangst singers.

    This CD has decent quality sound, considering the year the movie came out (1971). I still love it, because I love the movie! It wouldn't hurt my feelings if they remastered the soundtrack at some point, using current technology. You will appreciate this more by owning/watching/liking the movie, which is available on DVD. The movie is now a cult classic and the DVD version includes a "director comments" option. If you are a true fan of this classic, you will own the DVD, Soundtrack and the VHS.

    5 out of 5 stars Best Soundtrack Ever..........2006-08-12

    There's no other way to say it. This is just pure perfection... in the film, each song is perfectly suited to each scene... but alone, all the song are still great! Definitely recommended!

    5 out of 5 stars Like no other Tribute you'll ever hear!.......2007-03-24

    Being a lifelong Zeppelin fan and fortunate enough to have seen them in the 74-75 timeframe, I think I qualify as a purist and admirer of all things Zeppelin. (past, present and future). Great White's tribute to Zeppelin blew me away! All too often I hear tribute bands change around the tune to compensate for shortcomings or make it too much about them.

    Great White did the rarity. They performed a live version of Zeppelin songs as you wish Zep did. Rather than the bloated and hard to listen to "Song Remains the Same" recording, just put this on and sit back. You won't be disappointed. I just wish the CD contained the MTV unplugged Great White rendition of "Babe, I'm gonna leave you", and a new recording of "That's The Way", then everything would be complete.

    If Jack Russell reads this. Do us Great White and Zeppelin fans a favor and do another record with more Led Zeppelin tunes.

    4 out of 5 stars why not listen to zeppelin? .......2007-01-09

    The CD is great, but as i ask my husband, "why wouldn't you just listen to Zeppelin then?" His response? You have all the great songs on one CD. He LOVES it.

    3 out of 5 stars Good Zepp Covers, But No where near Perfect........2006-10-24

    I am one of the worlds biggest Led Zeppelin Fans, I own all there CD's. My Friend burned me a copy of this and said it was almost as good as the original Zeppelin. Well, I have to say its better then any other band covering Zeppelin songs, However, Its no where near the real Zeppelin. Jack Russel deos the best job out of all the band members in capturing the Zeppelin Spirit. He even sounds somewhat simular to Plant, although Plant had much more vocal range. The Guitarist Doesnt have the all around skill that Page had, no where near. Since Ive been loving you sounds like a mess. The Drumer Just cant touch Bonham at all, and whoever is on the Keyboards needs to stop. Also they should have tried songs like Rock n Roll, Black Dog, Whole Lotta Love, or Dazed and confused, these are the songs that helped shape Zeppelin into the greatest Rock and Roll Band ever. Now for the positive stuff. They did do stairway, and its the best cover of it, its still not Zepp but its desent. I liked the way they did the rover, Russels Vocals on that song sounded a lot like Plant. So, in all this album isnt close to the Great Led Zeppelin, but they did do a pretty desent job thats why I cant give it under 3 stars. But if you want to hear the real Zeppelin get How the West was Won, the DVD, or BBC Sessions which all get 5 stars, they blow this CD away. Even The song remains the same sound track is better it deserves 4 stars. Oh I forgot to mention the Version of the Immigrant song on this CD sucks, Badly.

    5 out of 5 stars what an awesome album.......2006-09-30

    Being a fan of both Led Zep and Great White, what an awesome combination. Great White was awesome in concert too, which is the best test for a truly awesome band, without all the techno to improve their vocals and other sounds. Sorry to hear of the tragedy that Great White experienced. I hope they will make a comeback.

    4 out of 5 stars GREAT WHITE - GET THE LED OUT .......2006-06-21

    This collection from Great White is a nice listening alternative for Led Zeppelin fans. (I am one of those fans) It is rumored that when Great White first started out, they cut their teeth on Led Zeppelin songs.

    This collection rocks, there are songs performed here that Led Zeppelin very rarely performed live, to the best of my recollection. Those songs are: IN THE LIGHT, LIVING LOVING MAID, RAMBLE ON, TANGERINE, THE ROVER, WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS.
    I saw Zep perform in '77 and the first Page/Plant tour.

    Great White performs 14 Zeppelin songs and sticks essentially to the studio versions. No extended jams, just basic rockin Zep. Jack Russell does a great job on vocals, very Robert Plant
    like in most cases, on some songs, he is tremendous - In The Light, Ramble On, No Quarter, Going To California, Immigrant Song. The bands' music is on the mark.

    If there wasn't commentary between songs, play Ramble On, Immigrant Song, Going To California, to Zep fans and see if they can detect the difference, I could not hear a difference from the real thing.

    It takes a lot of moxy to perform Stairway, and it is the final song on the CD. The songs that I didn't think hit the mark were D'yer Maker and All My Love. But 12 out of 14 are great recordings. This is the best Zep tribute CD I have heard, bar none. Purists may not like this, but this CD is a good addition to your Led Zeppelin collection. There is a Whole Lotta Led here.

    4 out of 5 stars Very fun.......2007-04-23

    This is quite exciting traditional country. The singing is quite excellent as is the guitar playing. However the production is not great by today's standards. This group deserves a better recording.

    5 out of 5 stars too much fun.......2007-04-22

    plain good fun, with some fine guitar playing, and a creative lyric or two - with pretty fine vocals

    Early in her career, Leontyne Price formed an artistic liaison with Samuel Barber that resulted in his composing the female lead in Antony and Cleopatra for her. The disastrous premiere of that opera prevented Price from making a complete recording--a tragic loss in my opinion. She did record excerpts, however, and we at least have this disc to document these and the many other Barber works that she performed with incomparable artistry. Opera singing being what it is, Price didn't often have the chance to sing in English, so these performances are not only historically important, they are uniquely communicative as well. --David Hurwitz

    5 out of 5 stars a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-02-28

    Samuel Barber(1910-1981), an American composer who studied piano, composition and singing at the prestigious Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, Pa. His works adhered largely to a lyrical, Romantic style within a loosely Classical framework. He left a rich legacy of more than 100 songs(only 37 published) and 3 operas in addition to many instrumental works...
    Only a few of Barber's song texts come from American sources; more often he chose the work of Irish or English writers. He was drawn to 'Knoxville: Summer of 1915', a reflection of the American poet James Agee, because for him it vividly evoked his own childhood. With hints of blues and gently shifting rhythms, "Knoxville" is a mature expression of Barber's artistry as a musical poet and a master of orchestral color.
    "The Hermit Songs" were first performed by Leontyne Price, soprano, with the composer at the piano at the Library of Congress, Washington,D.C..pn October 30, 1953. They are a setting of anonymous Irish texts of the eighth to thirteenth centuries written by monks and scholars. They are small poems,thoughts or observations, some very short, and speak in straightforward, droll, and often surprisingly modern terms of the simple life these men led, close to nature, to animals and to God.
    I think a brief quote from one of my favorite of these Hermit songs sums up the kind of prose contained in most all of them: from 'The Monk and his Cat' :Pangur, white Pangur, How happy we are Alone together, Scholar and cat. Each has his own work to do daily; for you it is hunting, for me study......'
    The music on this disc is well executed, and if you are a Barber advocate, it's a great collection of his song material. I happen to like MOST of his music, but it's for me a 'mood ' thing. He was born very close to where I live, so I guess I feel a kinship of sorts. I do think that he is one of the 'greats' in contemporary music!

    5 out of 5 stars An American Voice of the Century.......2005-10-09

    While there is no question that Leontyne's opulent voice - here young and lustrous in the "Hermit Songs" recital (1953!) would have been a magnet for any composer, her affinity for Barber is clear, and his for her. The studio recording of the "Hermit Songs" has a better acoustic, but this one is just as thrilling in interpretation, and a bit less studied - and it has the two James Joyce settings, as well.
    The "Knoxville" is beautifully judged - soft and swinging to start, then opening up into the drama and poetry of the middle and late sections. The Eleanor Steber original commission will always set the standard, but Price expands it that much farther, with longer phrases, and an ineffable langour that both she and Steber identified as the "Southern" stamp on this music. It's universal, as far as I am concerned, but it exalts and breaks the heart at the same time. Agee and Barber drink from the same fountain here.
    I have never heard the entire "Anthony & Cleopatra", again written for Price, so I can't judge the work as a whole, just these two numbers. I have a special affection for the first scene, however - "Give Me Some Music" shows Price, in her absolute vocal prime, complete mistress of color and mood, and the motive, "My man of men" reappears in her final, regal, death scene. When she sings "O happy horse/ who bears the weight of Antony!" - I swear, my hair curls, no matter how many times I hear it.
    In short, gotta have it.

    5 out of 5 stars An Essential Barber Disc.......2002-03-13

    What a fabulous collection of music by Samuel Barber. Leontyne Price is at her absolute best in the songs. The entire Hermit Songs are here with four others. These recordings are of particular interest since Ms. Price performs with Samuel Barber at the piano. It is interesting to compare these recordings to the latter ones sung by Cheyrl Studer with John Browning at the piano for tempo changes.

    The recording of Knoxville: Summer of 1915 is arguable the best of those available. Ms. Price sings with great sensitivity and Thomas Schippers and the New Philharmonia provide excellent support. Ms. Price said that Knoxville reminded her of her own childhood, and her commitment to the music comes through. I have the recording of Knoxville sung by Eleanor Steber, who commissioned this work, but I have always regarded the Price recording as the one to have.

    The two excerpts from Antony and Cleopatra are of great interest since Ms. Price sang the role of Cleopatra at the premiere in 1966. Her performance here, also conducted by Schippers, is wonderful. The transfer to CD of these recordings is excellent. Perhaps the only down side is that the Hermit Songs were performed before an audience so there is applause between each song. After a while, this becomes monotonous. This disc is a must for anyone interested in Barber's music, and in particular for Knoxville.

    5 out of 5 stars Price sings songs and arias written for her!!!.......2001-12-05

    This CD on which Leontyne Price memorializes many of the songs and arias composed by Sam Barber with her in mind should be in every collection of those who appreciate Barber's vocal music and the magnificent voice of one of the world's greatest singers of the 20th century. The collaboration of Barber and Price on the "Hermit Songs" and others reveals the composer's affection for the singer and the singer's understanding of the dramatic intent of the word and music. Alone, Price's interpretation of "Knoxville: Summer of 1915" is worth the price of the CD; it is singularly exquisite and cannot be matched! Price brings unmatched beauty, power, and understanding to the arias from "Anthony and Cleopatra" -- an opera composed with her voice in mind. It is indeed sad that Price never recorded "Vanessa," nor the song cycle "Despite and Still," nor the hauntingly beautiful "Sure on this Shining Night." You will not be disappointed if you buy this CD.

    3 out of 5 stars Fab voice, OK music.......2001-08-07

    What is it that everyone seems to adore about Samuel Barber's music for voice. The man clearly wrote some absolutely divine orchestral pieces, there's no disputing that. But his vocal work seems to be lackluster. Hermit Songs is an example of modern classical music at it's worst. Disjointed, unmelodic, and difficult to follow. Price who's diction is fabulous on the later Knoxville piece is mushy durin the Hermit Songs, her voice is young and fresh, but not particularly glorious. She does deserve praise however for her promotion of American Music

    Knoxville 1915 is a much better piece than Hermit songs and has more lyrical moments, but it still sounds so modern. If it has just been an orchestral piece it might've been fabulous but that is unfortunately not the case. It's almost as if Barber wrote a piece for orchestra and wrote a seperate piece for voice and just joined them, whether they made sense together or not. Unlike Hermit Songs, Price's performance more than makes up for the lack of brilliance in the music. Her diction is amazingly clear, even Callas would be jealous and her voice soars, where the music allows her to at least.

    The selections from A+C are worty enough, another unreal performance by Price, one wonders if there was a better interpretor of American Music ever, maybe Steber. These works are more traditional sounding and thus go over better, but they seem a bit bland, without Price infusing them with energy this listener would have lost interest

    5 out of 5 stars The only one you need........2005-08-28

    Not much to say about this compilation. All goth can be hit and miss, but this compilation is fair in content. Very different spectrums on this album. Most of the tracks are organic, which is whats wrong with all the other Unquiet Grave compilations. The newer the material, the more electronic and dissonant. Volume 1 has a very retro goth feel to it...like some of these songs could be pouring out of a dark, evil goth club in the heart of the city. I'm not going to review the material b/c I believe the style of music speaks for its self. I will say that if you are looking for variety, look no further. Bells, organs, guitars, sitars, harps, violins, synthesizers...all are present. Haunting female vocals, low thundering gothy male vocals...they are present too. Perfect music for a Halloween party being held in a dusty old mausoleum...Enjoy this compilation this coming fall...happy Samhain!

    5 out of 5 stars My First Goth CD..........2003-04-08

    This was the first real goth cd I actually bought. I'd heard of a few of the bands on it from hanging around the Chamber and the Vault in Atlanta, but I'd never actually gone out and bought a CD like this one. I'm very glad I did! Previously, I had been into Type O Negative, KMFDM, Wumpscut, and the like, however this was an excellent choice to showcase more of the "pure" goth sound, instead of the industrial/metal point of view that I had previously enjoyed.
    This CD had me at hello, with the poppy intro of "Eccentricity" by Magenta. I was certainly not expecting to hear something that sounded like it had crawled out of the 80's, however after 5 seconds I knew EXACTLY what gothic synthpop was. This song is truly a diamond in the rough. The next song, by "Slave" by Trance To The Sun is kind of whiny and freeform. Think of it as being the musical equivalent of one of those modern paintings...at least it makes sense to someone, right! After that comes "Vision in Black" by Advent Sleep. I like it when goth has organs in it, just because I like the sound of them, and if you're into the "organ" thing then you won't be disappointed here. Great song. Machine In The Garden offer up a great tune to keep the ball a rollin', and some really Ethereal stuff comes next (I'm not a big fan, but I really enjoy the selections here.) The next highlight here is Gossamer's "Run". Dark and dancable all in one. Definitely made for the clubs, and with amazing lyrics to boot. Jennifer Hope checks in somewhere in this part of the first disc too, her song, "The Sky Is Blushing" is amazing. "The Sky Is Blushing" is a must have for long airplane rides, looking out over the clouds and listening to this song is an unreal experience, if you don't believe in God, you probably will after you try this. Moving right along, the next selection worth mention is "My Sweet Nothing" by Second Skin. This song is simply amazing. Move over Andrew Lloyd Webber, because Second Skin just wrote a new ending for Phantom of the Opera! "Do You Believe In Angles" by The Last Dance is the next song. This song has amazing lyrics and a dancy beat. This is probably the closest to happy goth you'll ever get, and the guitars are a nice touch here, too.
    The second disc begins with a song by Rhea's Obsession called "When I Was In My Prime". In all honestly, I haven't listened to this song all the way through in the 2 years I've owned the disc, so I can't really say much about it. I've listened to the intro a few times though, and they did a great job with that. "Crucifixion" by Spiritual Bats is an interesting track. It's kind of similar to the Advent Sleep track on disc one, but the singer has some kind of an accent. It could be spanish or european, I'm not sure, but it's a nice touch to a great song. "Restraining Order" by [someone] Williams comes next, it's only a minute or so long, and this is one of the only weak points on the album. This guy sounds like he's begging the gothic crowd to tell him he has a good voice. Anyway, next is Android Lust. She is simply amazing. This is a very very hard dance track with a melody that sounds like the song from "Unsolved Mysteries", only alot more spooky. If you're into cyberpunkish type of stuff this is right up your alley, definitely one of the high points of the record. The next honorable mention is "Il Regno Del Vento" by Burning Gates zips right along, and the next goodie is "Butterfly" by Tapping The Vein. Intersting lyrics and incredibly strong female vox give this dark grunge band a well earned spot on this disc's roster. Diary of Dreams show up with "You -Das You", a dancy track with some good mixing of instruments and great vocals. Bella Morte have an organ laden somber dance romp with "Funeral Night", which is another highlight of the CD. Bella Morte is definetly going places. The only problem with this track is the consistent use of a cowbell, but you only really notice it until you've listened to the song 1000 times like I have. Some instrumental Lycia-ish thing closes out the record, and is, again, a song I haven't listened to all the way through yet.
    The bottom line is: Get this CD! I got it at Newbury Comics in Boston for 7 bucks. You can't beat that. It's priced very well, and well worth the price. This is a great who's who (also a great what's what if you're a newbie like I was) of gothic/darkwave/and ethereal music. This opened some new doors for me musically, and I'm definitely glad I took a chance on it!

    5 out of 5 stars Yes!.......2003-01-03

    wanting to listen to something different from my usual extreme metal tastes, i tried this album out of pure curiosity. a double album for 11$ so there's nothing much to lose here. with that in mind, i pushed the play button. a couple of hours later came the verdict (please check the rating). I barely know about no more than 2 bands out of the 32 featured on this compilation but at least 20 of them can make some really awesome music; a quite high "quality material" ratio for a compilation. this is goth, alright, but it might be closer to a blend of dark pop and techno then to the usual "Gothic" flavor of Type o negative and the likes but still this is an essentially dark music playing here and it's sure to satisfy any gloomy-minded sicko like me.

    3 out of 5 stars Unquiet Grave.......2002-11-20

    The CDs are both quite diverse in the music they present, but lack a certain something. Call it consistency, call it progession from one track to the next, I can't quite place it, but something came up missing for me. While some of the tracks are very, VERY good, those that are not worth the time aren't quite paid for by those that are.

    5 out of 5 stars Alright, Cleopatra - you NAILED it with this one.......2002-02-01

    One of the best dark music samplers of the year. The low price almost seems like a mistake, but it's a terrific deal. This comp will probably jump-start three or four of the bands featured. All in a slipcase that's the same size as a regular CD (I LOVE convenient packaging!)

    Instead of using up all the good songs halfway through disc 1, they're well spaced. Magenta's "Eccentricity" opens the comp with a gothed-out ABBA sound. Trance to The Sun follows up with "Slave," which sounds like Lycia doing heavy metal. Advent Sleep approaches "overgoth" with "Vision in Black." Nearly all the songs are catchy enough that you can remember them a week later. Other standouts include Black Atmosphere's semi-goofy "Love Lies Bleeding (Part Two)."

    It gets ethereal with Stone 588's "Mundus Vult Decipi," Ctrl's head-scratcher "Lioc," and Jennifer Hope's gentle "The Sky is Blushing." (She's not a great singer yet, but there's a sweet innocence to her sound.) Gossamer's Depeche Mode-ish "Run (Wayne Hussey Mix)" is a deathpop gem. Brave move not to open the album with this track. Every Wiccan ceremony should start with the harpsichord beauty of Autumn Tears' "This, My Melancholic Masquerade." Second Skin's rocker "Sweet Nothing" sounds like Fields of The Nephilim. The Last Dance's "Do You Believe in Angels" is like Gossamer's "Run," but about 5% cheesier. The Unquiet Void's "Breathing Liquid Breath" is watery and cavernous; it would have fit perfectly on Lycia's "Ionia."

    Rhea's Obsession starts disc 2 with the metal guitar ballad "When I Was in My Prime." Spiritual Bats' "Crucifixion" is officially "overgoth." Android Lust's "Heathen (A Thousand Thoughts)" is a perfect blend of scary whispered vocals, cinematic keyboards and a hard dance beat. Italian band Burning Gates' "Il Regno del Vento" is Nephilim with a side of marinara sauce. Soon after that comes one of the best songs:
    "Butterfly." Tapping The Vein tricks you with a Switchblade Symphony-style opening, then punches you right in the face with an intense, shrieking heavy metal chorus. Just awesome. Funeral in Berlin has an echoey, mellow goth feel on "Suspense." If The Police had done a goth tune, you'd have Written in Ashes' "Nightfeast." Alchemia's "An Explained World" closes disc 2 much like "Breathing Liquid Breath," like fog moving over heated water.

    When Cleopatra gets it right, you get samplers like this one or "The Black Bible." Two more Unquiet Grave sets have come out, but this one is still the best.
