Includes three live tracks.

Album Details

After a Few Years of Obscurity, 30 Odd Foot of Grunt have Finally Reissued their 1998 Release 'gaslight' featuring Four Live Tracks.

Customer Reviews:

Rough and ready, Russel ROCKS!.......2003-04-17

I first purchased Bastard Life or Clarity, and I was hooked. GASLIGHT is a previous CD, and has two tracks that were re-recorded in studio for BLOC. This is Aussie folk-ROCK, which is all about storytelling, and Russell can really tell a story! 'Circus' is a mellow and pleasant piece; 'You Treat Me Like Chocolate..."something you shouldn't touch between meals....instead of having at it...." is a slightly mournful plea to a lover. 'Oblique is My Love' and 'what's Her Name' are harder rocking bits with a great beat. "it's a wonder that I get any sleep....I ache for more of--what's her name".
'The Legend of Barry Kable is a fabulous live recording, great story. I can't decide if I like this or the studio version better, so I keep listening to both! This song alone is worth buying the CD for. 'What You Want Me To Forget' and 'Nowhere' are catchy rock tunes, the latter with a bit of rap thrown in (somehow it works); 'Wendy' is a terrific story about a single mom "she's got no husband, but who cares...she can find a man--any time she wants one. Don't you put her down, she tried to do it right, but sometimes things don't come out quite...the way we plan them......" Great lyrics, 'Wendy' was rerecorded for BLOC, its a bit rougher but more heartfelt here. There's an annoying 6 minutes of silence on the CD between this song and the next 3 "bonus" (unlisted) tracks, which are all decent songs, if not terribly special. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing Bastard Life Or Clarity along with this CD.

Yes, Russell can sing and write music!.......2003-03-27

I bought this CD after stumbling on TOFOG-BLOC at the local Borders Books and music. I loved BLOC and Gaslight! It's hard to believe that one man can write, sing, and act...and be good at all three! But then again, Russell has been signing and writing with Dean Cochran since they were teenagers...If you like good, down to earth Rock-n-Roll, buy TOFOG CDs!!!!!!!!

TOFOG Shows Promise.......2002-10-03

I was so impressed by TOFOG's live L.A. show in August 2001 that I couldn't pass up buying "Gaslight" when I saw it was available for purchase after the concert. I discovered that this band is much stronger on stage than "Bastard Life or Clarity" suggested.

Although "Gaslight" is not the greatest album, there are some gems, namely "Circus," "Oblique Is My Love," "What's Her Name," "Eternity," and two unlisted bonus tracks, "Castle Builder" and "Danielle." Then there are "She's Not Impressed," "David," and "What You Want Me To Forget?", admittedly weaker songs that I nevertheless like, partly because I can still picture them being performed more than a year after the concert.

Owning both "BLOC" and "Gaslight," I have to say my frustration with Crowe's vocals is that he sometimes (surprisingly) "holds back" in the studio recordings. (A notable exception is "Things Have Got to Change," a *great* song from "BLOC" and my personal favorite.) That's why I think "Oblique Is My Love" and "What's Her Name" are two of their best songs; they are live recordings that show their strengths as a band.

Overall, I enjoy TOFOG's music. They have a good sound and seem to have a good time making music together, which is always a treat. Even though they are a much better band live than the weaknesses in their albums might suggest, I'd still recommend giving their music a try.

Singing Crowe.......2002-09-06

Loved the live stuff....made me want to rush out and see TOFOG live..sounds like they put on an awesome show...Seems that Mr. Crowe can rock the house too.

Not as good as I hoped..........2002-08-16

I bought this CD before it was even available in the States. I was really excited about it because I'm a fan of Russell Crowe. Sadly, I was a little disappointed. There a few ok songs on here, but its mostly unforgettable. It's a good thing Russell is an amazing actor because his music career isn't the most impressive...at least not yet...

Another monument in the history of recording, this is the only set of Haydn symphonies that ever reached completion, and the performances are generally so good as to bear comparison with many of the best individual performances. The music itself is astounding--107 symphonies, all of them good, many of them shattering masterpieces. Haydn invented the Classical style, which, along with the contributions from his friend Mozart and his student Beethoven, became the standard by which all future music was measured. At a budget price, owning this set is like being able to have your own authentic copy of the "Mona Lisa" for a couple hundred dollars. Awesome! --David Hurwitz

Customer Reviews:

A superb milestone.......2007-05-01

Antal Dorati's pioneering, complete cycle of Haydn's symphonies is a milestone in recording history. Here it is incarnated on 33 CDs. What you get are outstanding, superb performances. The orchestra - Hungarica Philharmonia - is just wonderful, and the interpretations are remarkable in their attention to detail and structure. In addition, the Decca analogue sound has never been better than here. The booklet is also excellent.

Dorati's pioneering efforts included also the Haydn operas, which recently have been collected and released in two boxes from Philips, and the 24 Minuets (Decca).

What about the competition, then? Adam Fischer's Haydn project on Nimbus offers also a complete cycle, now on Brilliant Classics at a bargain price for a very big box with 33 CDs and a brief booklet. Well, for one thing, Dorati's set is the classic cycle. Further, Dorati's readings are less extravagant than Fischer's - and in my view preferable. The sound is also better in the earlier Dorati set: a warm analogue sound in contrast to Fischer's chilly, all-digital sound, which also is very uneven. But Fischer's Haydn is less expensive: you can get his cycle for less than $100 from second-hand dealers. Despite that, Dorati's cycle should be your first choice. Moreover, if shelf space is an issue, the Dorati box is one inch slimmer and a half inch less tall.

Furthermore, there are selections of symphonies from Jochum (DG) and Scherchen (DG), of which I hold the latter in higher esteem due to its idiosyncrasy. In retrospect, however, Dorati's complete cycle has a unique classic status and is as such unchallenged. Thus I warmly recommend it as a part of the foundation of your collection in addition to Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Mahler, and Mozart symphony cycles, because this is delightful music that will last for a lifetime on a desert island.

[Note: this box is available brand new at amazon.co.uk, for £98.87.]

For the sheer pleasure of them all...........2006-11-11

In the mid seventies, my father purchased all of what had been released of this cycle on vinyl LP. As vinyl goes, the London discs were first rate, and a prized possession.

I lost the vinyl collection during a move in the mid 80's. It was an emotional impact; I had cherished them as a child, and as a gift, irreplaceable.

This release is true to my memory, and now I have the entire cycle.

I've performed many of these in various orchestras and loved them all.

There's a fresh energy to the performances, and an elegance to the collection quite rare and delightful.

As a set, it's actually quite affordable considering it's under $6 per disc, or under $2 per symphony.

Antal Dorati's Claim To Fame.......2005-10-14

If it wasn't for this massive recording project, Hungarian-born conductor Antal Dorati would not have been acknowledged as a first-classconductor at a time when such giants as Leopold Stokowski, Herbert Von Karajan, George Solti and Leonard Bernstein were still conducting. Dorati is an exemplary exponent of classical music, which is also to say Classical Era music (1750-1800). Nevertheless, even if Dorati has a superb touch for this kind of repertoire, he is equally as brilliant in 20th century music and Romantic Era music, as his Tchaikovsky symphonies and ballets have proven. At an expensive price, this recording is still worth it. It's a legend in recorded history of classical music. No other conductor dared to take on such a monumental project as to record all 100 and plus symphonies of Franz Joseph Haydn, the composer who by definition began the movement of Classical Era music. It was Mozart, who was his younger friend, that is better known today for this kind of music and moreover, musicologists believe he refined and perfected the style. But don't underestimate Papa Haydn. His music is beautiful, bursting with energy and lightness, elegance, warmth and melodic harmony that is so refreshing to hear especially in our own time which is full of stress.

Haydn's symphonies are not all similar sounding. Each symphony was unique, like the hand prints on people. Yes, at times they do tend to sound the same, possibly because so many of them were in the key of D. Nevertheless, they are music of individual merit. As his symphonies approached its later years and maturation, Haydn employed slights of ear and orchestral innovations that were considered new and bold in his time. The "surprise" in his "Surprise Symphony" is a thunderous "bang" in fortissimo by the orchestra after a melody that is rather bland and sleepy (which to me sounds like "Mary Had A Little Lamb"). The "Clock" Symphony is measured in a kind of "tick-tock" beat and is very very elegant and memorable, as it conjures up the image of a Rococco clock or a clock museum. The Paris Symphonies are an Austrian-German man's "trip" to Paris and his interpretation of French music. It sounds nothing at all like French music at the time although at times it nearly slips into the slow grandeur of the music of Baroque master Jean Baptiste Lully. The London Symphonies are among his best, with a kind of majesty and pomp typically associated with English royalty. If you listen carefully it's in the music. A similar thing occurs in the music to the "Oxford" Symphony. Haydn had visited Oxford to teach music and was awarded a doctorate. He composed music for that special event and the music is brooding, intellectual and somehow very very English.

Antal Dorati and his formidable Hungarica Philharmonica is at their very best in this set. The sound is crisp, gleaming and unbeatable. Even if you get the individualized sets of these symphonies, you will be treating yourself to some top-notch classical music. A must have for fans of Antal Dorati.

A major milestone in recorded music, stunning achievement.......2005-03-29

This complete cycle of the Symphonies of F.J. Haydn heralded a new era in recorded music. Everything about the project was first rate. The sound was among Decca's best. The playing of the little known Philharmonia Hungarica was close to perfect. Dorati's interpretations never disappointed. To top it off, Decca offered the cycle at budget prices and threw in unprecedented notes from H.C. Robbins Landon.

Many would comment "once you've heard one, you've heard them all" when asked about Haydn's vast symphonic output. They could not be more wrong. There isn't a dull symphony or poor performance in the lot. Try such unknowns as #26, or #33, or #51 and #52, to name a few of my lesser known favorites.

Those familiar with Haydn's more well known symphonies, such as the London Symphonies (93-104) were even astonished to find Dorati's performances giving more formidable orchestras and conductors a run for their money.

So what can be said of the set 30 years later?

Everything said earlier still stands, including the original liner notes. Only Graham Johnson's scrupulous notes with his various Hyperion lieder sets surpass Landon's astounding commentary. The digital transfers are from the late 80s, so they are not the best, but still quite serviceable. And the price is still quite reasonable.

Beware, though, that these are not period instruments. Dorati does use "period forces" as much as possible, meaning the number of instruments closely matches what would have been used originally.

So why do I say this set "heralded a new era in recorded music"? Because after the resounding success it enjoyed, many "complete" works projects of similar or greater magnitude got their chance. I doubt we would have any where near the volumes of "complete sets" we now enjoy had it not been for Dorati and Decca's Haydn cycle.

In short, a fabulous set that I would never part with.

Dorati blazed the trail for Haydn interpreters.......2004-11-12

I've owned this complete set of Haydn symphonies for at least a decade or more. While I enjoy period instrument sound and performance practice, you cannot get a complete set on period instruments (I was hoping Hogwood would finish his cycle but I understand it wasn't to be). In all honesty, I think the best period instrument interpretations outdo the modern instrument recordings in sheer energy amd agility, but in respect of modern instruments, Dorati, the pioneer, does an extraordinary job of bringing out the essential flavor and energy that was Haydn's symphonies. I don't like mixing and matching various orchestras and conductors, so buying this 32 CD set gets you all 104+ symphonies in one tidy package. The sound quality is very good considering the times, with a very forward midrange.

A piano colossus plays Beethoven!.......2006-03-30

The Sonata No.30 may be well considered as part of an impressive Trilogy, in which languid flame of Beethoven begins to vanish. The profound homesickness is far to be self indulgent. Beethoven has come to the end of the road and searches untiringly an exit door. This autumnal character is visibly remarked by the composer through the employment of the Fugue form in every one of these three works. Beethoven opposes deliberated or unconsciously the Fugue as signal of resigned acceptation, cathartic refugee and warm memories and smartly contrasts with his fiery and thunderous attacks expressed as Fortissimos to carve in relief the untamed human spirit. Indeed you may easily realize the Farewell taste, because of the fact all these endings are achieved, just leaving float the bars, without that marked heroic affirmation of previous works such as Patetique or Appassionata for instance; on the contrary he accents the ebb tide and tepid atmosphere of the last breath, but loaded with infinite noblesse, without signals of despair, anguish or inner conflict ( as Tchaikovsky or Mahler).

I have always thought around the Sonata No. 31 that express like no other else, the "Memory Reverberation", but emancipated of any trace of nostalgia or pain. I would say Beethoven is hovering through his livings, early childhood dreams and illusions, adopting a similar attitude that you or me assume when open an old photographs album.

Finally the Sonata No.32 anticipates from the second Movement a journey without return; and that unstoppable sensation of unavoidable missing in the thickness of an unending night is only agreabled for a very brief motive that reminds us to the first seed of an unborn musical genre: the jazz. The last Movement is loaded of such dramatic density and furtive evanescence that engages even the most indifferent listener.

As you know, most of pianists accustom to follow the loyal tradition that has become a non sacred ritual, that consists in playing these last three Sonatas in tandem, without play any encore. The unsaid meaning would support my thesis about the unbreakable unity of these piano works.

The impeccable good taste and superb genius of Rudolf Serkin made possible to listen these unvaluable recordings keeping in mind all the previuos considerations, due Serkin was a thinker musician.

A BIT VARIABLE.......2005-03-08

Only one of these three performances strikes me as being top-class Serkin. What I had been hoping for was some hitherto-undiscovered early versions from him that had somehow escaped the compilers of the discography in the 2003 biography of Serkin by Stephen Lehmann, but what I have got is three performances from the 1970's that I already knew and owned. Serkin was a bit of a pain for recording performances and then deciding not to release them. How he arrived at his decisions in this matter is intriguing - I wouldn't have reached the same conclusions as he did in all cases. The most interesting issue is over the A flat sonata op 110. The version we have here is the one he actually did release, and it seems to me nowhere near as good as the one he sat on, available as part of the posthumous collection eventually issued with the agreement of Peter Serkin. That strikes me as one of the greatest Beethoven sonata renderings that I know, whereas the one here is a poor second. The touch lacks crispness, the dynamics are less well differentiated, the first movement is a little bit too slow and the fugal sections of the finale do not give the same thrilling sensation of great doors opening and closing. The E major op109 suffers from these characteristics to some extent as well. Surely this speed in the first movement is never 'vivace'? Serkin had recorded the work once before, and happily that reading is now available again as part of this same series. His earlier tempi in both the first movement and the following prestissimo are more my idea of what these indications require, and in the final andante, while the speed is slow in both performances, it convinces me more in the earlier one.

The last sonata op111 is more like the real thing - much more. There is no hint of tiredness here, the touch is the great Serkin touch as we know and love it at its best and there is a striking evenness about it too. Just what Serkin was not satisfied with is not at all clear to me, and we should heave a sigh of relief that this recording has been reprieved for us. The first movement is grand and effortless, but I will admit that it doesn't have quite the sense of fierce involvement that I get from a live 1990 performance from London by, of all people, Michelangeli - not as a rule my idea of a natural Beethoven interpreter. The arietta is sublime in every way, though, taking us away to some transfigured outer realm in its later stages.

Serkin is still Serkin and a unique prophet of Beethoven even at not quite his best. There is any amount to be learned from all three sonatas here. Nobody need have any hesitation in acquiring this record if the purpose is to understand Beethoven better. For the special followers of this great musician and player these are performances not to miss. He left us little enough.

Disappointing!.......2004-09-30

I was assured that all the songs were "Studio" by the shop. So I bought it, only to find "Sweet Caroline" to be LIVE and DISGUSTING!
The person who compiled this box deserves this compliment: SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

Duped again..............but good songs!.......2000-09-04

After finding out about the live tracks on Neil Diamond's Greatest Hits 1966-92, I decided to buy this collection to get studio recordings. What a mistake! Some of his best songs are live (again) on this album, which is odd because it's an MCA Records release. The worst version ever of Sweet Caroline has to be the one on this album, although other songs, such as Song Sung Blue and Cracklin Rosie do appear in their original format. Despite this album offering 30 tracks, I will never listen to it. Instead, I recommend The Neil Diamond Collection (available at Amazon), which has only 18 tracks, but all the best ones from this album are on that collection IN THEIR ORIGINAL STUDIO RECORDING. I gave this CD three stars because of the power of the (few) studio recordings you get here, but if you want all studio recordings, buy the other album instead.
