Snapshots

Geoff Chapman, “Snapshots” The Toronto Star Oct 2000
The bassist leads his inventive comrades through eight densely-layered originals with a flair that encourages forceful execution, especially when trumpeters John MacLeod and Mike Malone are duelling, as one the opening “The Empress Of Canada.

Product Description
The brand new CD featuring his sought after quintet plus the addition of Mike Malone on trumpet. Eight new compositions that move from all out swing to tango to samba and back again. The band once again consists of John MacLeod on flugel and cornet, Roy Styffe on alto sax, David Restivo on piano, Kevin Dempsey on drums and Duncan Hopkins on bass.

Lifts you up and makes the days shine.......2007-01-21

I found this CD when looking for Chris' pop song "When did you fall in love with me." (not on this CD). I'd never heard of him before, but I recognized him somehow. Although I rarely buy Christian CDs, (Amy Grant the exception), I decided to try this. I put it in my car's CD player and never took it out for 2 weeks. It lifted my spirits beyond anything I can explain. Other reviewers have said Chris' music is a mixture of campfire sing-a-longs and being with friends. It is all that. Master songwriter & storyteller. I especially like that he doesn't preach, that he leaves lots of room for being less than perfect and for being confused & doubtful at times. Highly recommended.

A Fun Collection.......2005-07-10

This is a very enjoyable CD. I have heard some of Rice's songs previously, but this is the first album of his that I have heard in its entirety.

His music is very mellow, but it has good lyrics and a pleasant sound. The main reason that I bought this CD was that I thought my daughter would enjoy 'Cartoons'. I found that it was not the only 'fun' song on this album. 'Billy Joe McGuffrey' is another great song for kids. Actually, I have enjoyed both of those as well as several of the others also. I particulary like 'Deep Enough to Dream'.

If you have a pre-teen or teenager, I would really recommend this for a couple of fun songs. It is also enjoyable for adults.

Great Stuff But Do We Need This CD?.......2005-02-11

For the second year in a row, we get a compilation CD from Chris Rice.

This one starts off with six tracks from various live performances. I must admit I really enjoyed the slightly different take on some classic Chris Rice songs. "Deep Enough to Dream" is especially enjoyable in this setting.

Up next are three songs from non-Chris Rice records. "Billy Joe McGuffrey" originated on the soundtrack for Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie. "Calling out Your Name" was originally on the tribute to Rich Mullins. Finally, "Nothin'" comes from Exodus. I am thrilled to have these songs on a Chris Rice CD.

Lastly, we get some fan favorites directly from their original recording, like any best of. What's interesting to me is the inclusion of two songs from his Living Room Sessions projects, two CD's that got passed over in his best of last year.

Don't get me wrong, I love Chris's music. My disappointment is that there is really little new here for fans. While I enjoy best of's, we just had one last year. It's been two years since we had anything new from Chris, and I'm more then ready for it. This CD would have been great in another few years with another project or two under his belt. I would even feel differently if it were cheaper. But released like this, it feels more like a marketing ploy then anything else.

If you aren't familiar with Chris's music, this would be a great place to start. I just love it. But die hard fans will want to consider if they really want to add this to their collection.

Wire Magazine Review.......2007-06-13

Roedelius & Friends
Snapshots/Sidesteps
PSYCHONAVIGATION cd


In a career that spans more than 40 switched-on years,Hans-Joachim Roedelius has taken the opportunity to make many friends,and Snapshots/Sidesteps,from Dublin label Psychonavigation, is a testimony to some of them.Marking ten years of collaborations and remixes made between 1995-2005,this album's ten unreleased tracks are drawn from projects with artists including Seiichi Suzuki,David Bickley and the Orb's Alex Paterson and Thomas Fehlmann.

In the history of post-war electronica,Roedelius is one of the great linking figures, joining Fluxus to Eno and the post-Acid House era.If this is a big territory to fill,possibly the best angle on Roedelius is as a musician most interested in process,and this is certainly demonstrated by the vignettes - some sketchy ideas,others more fully formed - released here."Ad Honerem" (2003) with Suzuki falls into the former category; a sparse drum track with uncertain elements unfolding into the ether; so too "Claire Obscura" (2005) with Patrick Pulsinger and Werner Dafeldecker.This isn't to denigrate the tracks as on "Juste Milieu",a 1995 offering made with Fabio Capanni,these are moments of imaginative observation,often inspired by organic sounds such as water,birdsong and air currents.As one might expect on a track with The Orb,2002's "Elektrum" takes on a more dynamic format,as does "Fait Accompli", a 2002 track made with Cluster comrade Werner Moebius and littered with tiny explosive electro-beats and skittery piano.But it is 2003's "Hoc Vola" that carries the album.Made with Timothy O'Keefe,the track sets up an accoustic folk riff with some Aeolian atmospherics to reiterate what it is that Roedelius does best.Lovely .

Very good choice for someone who loves American music.......2005-06-14

There is no doubt in my mind that Houston Symphony and San Diego Symphony are two fine orchestras that give a very good sound for these tunes. They are well played and directed and you will dream about America when you will listen this CD. The choice of tunes is excellent and I am sure that you will like. These two orchestras give bright colors to these tunes. A really good choice.

OUTSTANDING! It makes you want to stand and salute........1998-11-09

This is the finest collection of American Patriotic songs. From Copland, Sousa, to Kate Smith singing "God Bless America", these songs remind you of what those before us sacrificed so that we may enjoy, and sadly take for granted, such wonderful freedoms as those which we have today. I admit that when I listen to Kate Smith sing "God Bless America" tears fill my eyes as pride for America swells. If you love America then this is the CD for you. You won't be disappointed, I wasn't!!

Brilliant songs by "Ireland's best female songwriter".......2005-07-10

Eleanor earned the best songwriter description even with only this album which has some of her most thoughtful material. "Sophie", "She had it all", the dramatic "Did you tell him" are examples of her best work. A superb album.

Follow up to 'What's Following Me'.......2002-12-04

I love this album, every song on it. It's very heartfelt. If that sounds familiar, it's what I said about her previous album. It took a few listens, but it has won me over. I have to say, I get a bit weepy on the song 'Please Heart, You're Killing Me'. It's such a sweet song, and so full of what we have all felt, and it's funny too. So, I ordered 'Yola' today. I look forward to it's arrival.

Excellent Cd!.......2002-07-29

As her previous works this is an excellent cd. Well composed and performed, Eleonor is an excellent musician. May be she is not as famous over the world as many pop musicians but she is very talentous.

Delightful!.......2002-04-14

I could listen to, "More to This Woman" and "Please Heart, You're Killing Me" all day long! I love this artist! I love this album! The lyrics are catchy, but really poetic and moving at the same time. Some are fun and funny, and some, like "Sophie," really just break your heart. The rock/pop style with a variety of instruments that keep this from being straight pop, really catch the ear and keep you listening long enough to pick up the lyrics

Third's a charm... Now there's a fourth!.......2001-05-29

I got this album not long after it came out, having heard Eleanor's first two albums. Whereas her self-titled first album from 1993 was largely led by the acoustic guitar and her follow-up "What's Following Me?" from 1996 was dominated by electric guitars, Snapshots is heavily synthesizer-influenced. This is largely due to the production work of Rupert Hine, known for his work with The Fixx in the 1980s. The ample use of keyboards is a somewhat awkward fit at times with Eleanor's vocal style, but there are several shining tracks on this album that make it worthwhile. "All I Have" is something of an answer to "Only A Woman's Heart", delving into the somewhat melancholy feelings of a woman prepared to face the world alone. "Please Heart, You're Killing Me" is a lively track with a playfully endearing saxophone riff. "Wrapping Me Up In Luxury" is a sensual, romantic song that has a very gentle but passionate air to it. The last track on the album, "Easy To Lose Hope", is ostensibly a song about a journalist who was murdered, but it comes across as an anthem of hope and courage.

....Eleanor released a FOURTH ALBUM on 4 May 2001 called "Yola". It is apparently only available through small online retailers in Ireland. Pick it up if you can find it, because it marks the return of a mellower Eleanor. Gone are the commercial trappings of Columbia Records and Rupert Hine. In their place, Eleanor's sound is more pensive and piano-driven. You absolutely cannot miss the addictive track, "Easy In Love". Get this CD!!

Snapshots of Life.......2001-05-02

Dave Nachmanoff is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist who has an uncommon knack for capturing the nuances and realities of life in song. Sometimes humorous (the on-line relationship fable "RL" or "Cautionary Tale," a song about his dog), sometimes haunting ("I'm From Nowhere", "Memory"), and sometimes witty and clever ("Civilization and Its Discontents").

For my money, Dave is at his best when he simultaneously captures an air of both the profound and the innocent, as in the gorgeous "Thing of Beauty," which looks at the desire to achieve meaning or purpose in one's life without getting the least bit preachy or sentimental. Do yourself a favor and check out Dave's music!

Snapshots and inspirations.......2000-06-15

Dave is a talented songwriter and instrumentalist. His songs tell stories of life's experiences and the excitment of a live concert comes through on this CD.

'RL' is a great story about a blooming on-line love affair. 'Memory' and 'I'm From Nowhere' are haunting and sad. 'Inside Connection', which opens with the instrumental 'O'Carolan's Draught' is brilliant. It is a wonderful medley of the old and new. 'Battle Scars', 'Wash Us Clean', 'Thing of Beauty' and 'Waiting for the Light to Change' are completely inspirational. Overall, a pleasant listen with lots of inspiration and wonderful music.
