Michael Flatley's Celtic Tiger.......2007-01-10

Very disappointing - Nothing like Riverdance Would not recommend and I am avid fan

If you love music, buy this CD! Very refreshing, and new, with great music!.......2006-01-21

After listening to the soundtrack of Riverdance, Lord of the Dance, and Feet of Flames, Celtic Tiger is in some ways the "same old music", but in other ways, very different and original and seems to have something that the previous three soundtracks lack. This CD doesn't just give you modern Celtic music; it goes through all of the stages of music in our time, from Celtic, classical, hip-hop, jazz, rock, pop etc. As the CD progresses, the music goes from soft and traditional to more modern, and more diverse as it explores different genres of music. So, contrary to what someone said, Celtic Tiger isn't what you would expect and it's not what you heard before. In fact, I was planning on not buying it, after seeing how it wasn't going to be another Lord of the Dance. This CD is like the others, but for the most part, stands from the others.

To give you a better idea, here's a breakdown by song:

ST. PATRICK (ANGULUS): Remember how in the past, there would be one song on the CDs mentioned above, that was sung in another language (for example, Shivna in Riverdance, High Priests and Hell's Kitchen in Feet of Flames, and the chorus to Sula Ruin in Lord of the Dance)? Well, here's your song for Celtic Tiger. This song is not sung in the English language(I'm positive it's Latin). When translated, you will see that the song has a religious theme to it(in the show, Celtic Tiger, the song was about the beginning of Roman Catholicism in Ireland). The song is also very dark, and sounds gothic but it's pretty good. It sends chills down your spine.
THE VIKINGS: This song, like a lot of the other songs on here, starts off slow and calm, and then as it progresses gets stronger and stronger till it hits a climax. In this song, they use the same tune over and over again for about 75% of the song, and the tune gets stronger and stronger as time passes (get it?). This works well with this song, and this is one of my personal favorites on the CD.
THE GARDEN OF EDEN: Now this is my favorite song on here. Now, that's something unusual for me to say, since I usually don't care for the slower songs. But I really do love this song, it sort of reminds me of Celtic Dream from LOTD. It's sort of a meditation song. How do I describe this song? Well, if there's a song that plays in Heaven, then the song would probably sound kind of like this.
THE REDCOATS: Another personal favorite, starting with drums, and then the rest of the song is Michael Flatley on flute along with many other instruments (the violin, fiddle, drum, bell, and even piano). The beginning is very sweet, but the end is very energetic.
THE FAMINE: Another vocal in another language (I'm guessing...Gaelic?). Once again, when translated, there is some religious theme in the song. The emotions that you find in the song is desperation, sadness and fear so it's another song on the darker side.
THE BANSHEE/A NATION ONCE AGAIN: This is a very confusing little song. The first part of the song, it's just a woman crying--like a banshee. ( Yes, this song is one of the weaker ones. In fact I would go as far as to say that the CD wouldn't suffer if this song was taken out). And THEN, three minutes into the song, they start singing "A Naaaaation Oooonce Agaaaain!" Very, confusing, and very random, since the vocal just came out of nowhere. But, it did help the song.
FREEDOM: Now this song is the beginning of the "modern songs" on here. But I have to warn you: this song is pretty....random. First it starts off with a nice, soft fiddle tune and then out of nowhere, it's replaced with this disco, 70's-type music, and then once again, it's randomly replaced with this strip tease tune. Yes, this song is indeed very random, and...amusing.
A NEW WORLD: Another song that explores different types of music besides Celtic. You will listen to flamenco music, jazz, hip-hop, ballet and ballroom music, and then finally, the song will finish with this poppish Celtic tune that is very enjoyable to listen to.
THE LAST ROSE: This is another song with Flately on flute. The song sounds very sad, light, soft, and it reminds me of Whispering Wind from Feet of Flames. It's a beautiful song, but there's one problem: this song is very ill placed in the sequence of tracks on this CD. The song doesn't fit in at all and kind of throws you off, leaving you a little confused.
CELTIC KITTENS: What a cute title for an equally lovely song! It's a mix of Celtic violin and this modern poppish dance beat and the results are very good. It's another personal favorite and don't be surprised if you find yourself dancing to it.
CAPONE: This is another personal favorite. Completely straying away from being anything that has to do with Celtic music, this is, for the most part, a jazz number. It's...cool, and sexy, and fast and almost perfect.
CELTIC TIGER: This song finishes the CD, with electic guitar with tapping feet in the background. It's very energetic, and for the most part, pretty good.

In conclusion: I was left with very little disappointments! Surprisesm yes (from all of the random songs) but for the most part, I don't regret buying this CD! If you're a person who's as passionate about music as I am, then I recommend you get this CD. You'll love it.

Michael Flatley.......2006-01-19

I love anything Michael Flatley does he is the best Irish dancer in the whole wide world. He was born to dance. He has made my dreams come true by coming back to dance.

Celtic Tiger show and soundtrack.......2006-01-19

This was the best show i have ever seen plus a fantastic soundtrack.THE BEST PART WAS I ACTUALLY GOT TO SEE MICHAEL FLATLEY LIVE WHICH HAS BEEN MY DREAM SINCE FOREVER!!!!!!!! I'm an irish dancer and would love to be in this show when i'm old enough!!!!

Cant always toe TAP.......2005-12-21

I just want to say that this show, like his previous, is AMAZING.
And the soundtrack is the same. For most of you reviewers before me, who rated this low, I ask why ? If you just like rhythmic toe tapping then i agree, this is not for you, but how can M Flatley have a non stop irish gig? This show deals with the struggles, and many deaths of the Irish people. So i ask, how can he be upbeat and smiling the whole show ? If you just want to see tap dance for 2 hours, please, do look elsewhere.
But if you want QUALITY and have ANY interest in TRUE Irish heritage, and history, you will love this CD.
If you just want to see Irish dancers flailing about, go see RIVERDANCE, or any of the "Other Up and comers". And when the Dust settles, it will be Michael Flatley creating that dust,
and working on ANOTHER great project.

For the retro collector.......2007-04-11

His 80's pop hits are here. Some obscure titles as well, very diverse.

This collection is "...better than wine".......2005-05-01

This is some quality pop music here, folks. "Tin Tin" is truly talented.

Every track in the collection is worth listening to twice. It even has the '85 version of his new wave hit "Kiss Me".

This is genuine, quality pop. Every fan of this era should listen to the brilliant talent of Stephen Duffy.

Fine round-up but where is "HOLD IT" and the 12" mixes?!.......2004-10-31

I bought all of TIN TIN's erly 12"s/LPs when they first came out in the 80s, and while it's rather nice to have most of his "hits" on CD (esp like having both '83 and '85 mixes of KISS ME), there is one glaring error: WHERE IS "HOLD IT" the 1983 12" he did on Wanrer Bros? It's his BEST song, equal to Kiss Me- couldn't they afford to license it? And while youre' at it, WHERE ARE THE 12" MIXES of Kiss Me, Icing on the Cake, etc? What's the point of putting out STEPHEN TIN TIN DUFFY on CD and no club mixes? Maybe next time. Still a keeper for true fans until they get it right.

great songs.......2004-05-03

Great to get his songs on Cd... only had vinyl before and the records were wearing out!! Bit disappointed with the "different" songs on the CD that I did not know. dream machine for example. But just great to get the other great songs on CD and hear Duffy's voice clearer :)

Kiss You.......2003-02-09

If all you really want is the song "Kiss Me", then you should instead buy the CD "New Wave Dance Hits: Just Can't Get Enough, Vol. 8", which, despite its being a multi-artist compilation, sports a better & longer version of "Kiss Me". It also boasts some other hard-to-find, one-hit-wonder tunes from the 80's that you probably also are longing to hear.

As for THIS CD--I haven't had the patience to listen through most of its other songs. Maybe I'd acquire a taste for them if I did listen through them, but with the exception of the song "Cocksure", they don't draw me in within their crucial first few measures. The catchy "Cocksure", in its melody and twang, is evidently a non-American's parody of the Country and Western (both) styles of music.

Album Description

Riot City Blues' is Primal Scream's follow-up album to the electro-tinged 'Evil Heat', although it could easily be compared in style and content to their 1994 masterpiece 'Give Out But Don't Give In'. Bluesy, punky swagger and New York Dolls-esque melodies abound, marking this album out as a more organic affair than Bobby Gillespie & Co's previous two albums. Includes the single 'Country Girl'.Recorded at London's Olympic Studios and produced by former Killing Joke bassist Youth. This offering from Bobby Gillespie and the boys, which includes the single 'Country Girl', features guest contributions from Will Sergeant (Echo & The Bunnymen), Warren Ellis (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) and Alison Mosshart (The Kills). Sony/BMG. 2006.

Customer Reviews:

There are no Blues in this Riot City.......2007-01-20

Ahh, Primal Scream. Back to rock music, and back to original band spelling.

Bobby Gillespie and his men are just like the mystery bag, you never know what type of album youll get next from them. They seems to bounce into different genres every album now from rock, to electro, to metal to dance etc...so...which one is this one?

Riot City Blues (album title is a slight giveaway) is just a strong, fullblooded rock n roll record. This aint a Primal first...(remember Screamadelica follow up Give Out, But Dont Give Up?) and i highly doubt it will be the last either. This nonsensical brash rock n roll should be on future Scream albums - and thank god for that

This is a solid album straight from the word go, wtih the hit singles Country Girl and Dolls giving a real insight into the album. Not to mention the bluesyness of Suicide Sally and Johnny Guitar..i think we know who that song may be dedicated to..

Elsewhere, the specials guets (Warren Ellis, Will Sergent, Alison Mosshart) all shine, imparticular Will on the strong, guitar heavy "When the Bomb Drops. Another album highly.

I close by saying..

This another top Primal Scream album. Thats all you need to know really. [...]

great dumb rock.......2006-09-25

I have been looking forward to this one for a long time. I saw Primal Scream play a few years ago in San Francisco. It was an okay show. The audience was there to see Underworld. I ran into Bobby Gillespie at a show at the Hollywood Bowl. I guess he was in town mixing the record with Dave Sardy. This record is a back to basics. There are no electronics. No Stooges meet Krautrock. No mixes by Kevin Shields. The lineup of the band is a little different. It's a little raw and a little like Exile on Main Street. This is in evidence with the first single "Country Girl." This is country rock in high style. "Nitty Gritty" is more Stones influenced rock. One of the best songs is "Suicide Sally & Johnny Guitar." Roots rock meets hard rock. "We're Gonna Boogie" reminds me of The Kills. Alison Mosshart from the Kills sings on a few songs. "Dolls" is a real glam rock song. This is a pretty good record. It's a great mix of roots rock, Stones obsessions, and good old time rock and roll. There is no electronic weirdness and sound collages. This is a party album. It should go down well. Bobby Gillespie was sort of obscure a few years ago. But with the help of the Internet, he is like considered one of the coolest people ever.

Great CD, Combining the Best Elelemts of the Group's Past Work.......2006-09-10

With tracks that range from country-esque to stompin' crankers, this CD is well worth the money. While the music is diverse, almost every track stands on its own.

A huge fan of "Sreamadelica" back in the day, I nearly gave up on the band after the "Vanishing Point" CD, and I viewed "EXTRMNTR" as a very uneven work (flashes of brilliance intermixed with headache-inducing nonsense). But if you liked "Give Out But Don't Give Up" (I love that CD), then you should be happy with this one. Again, very diverse stuff, but rock solid all aound.

love the way this band never stands still..........2006-08-12

there's very few bands that can shift gears quite like Primal Scream. from Screamadelica to Give Out... to XTRMNTR, these guys are always changing their spots. Riot City Blues leans mostly towards Give Out...(minus the P-Funk influence) with its "Rocks Off" attitude, yet still has a sound all its own. Standout tracks: Suicide Sally, Little Death, 99th Floor and
the New York Dolls nod Sweet Rock n'Roll...

From Progressive to Regressive........2006-08-05

This is far the worst album from english previously called progressive alt-rock band. The only two songs that matters here with some signs of their past work are When The Bomb Drops and Little Death. Everything else is a silly honky tonky rock'n roll that has not far from Country American Music.

Stephen Duffy Keeps Going Strong.......2004-01-09

As a fan of Stephen Duffy's work since his "Tin Tin" days, I've noticed a steady progression in his work that, contrary to some reviewers, does indicate both risk-taking and experimentation. In his latest outing with the Lilac Time, Duffy has produced a true masterpiece. Don't be fooled by the faux 70s cover art; this album may have borrowed from the Nick Drake/Fairport Convention folk standards of that era, but it is just as firmly rooted in contemporary music as well. Incorporating a soulful, poetic and sometimes melancholic tone, Duffy evokes moods and images that reflect an ever-growing sense of maturity and poignancy. Take the worldliness of "So Far Away", or the sheer beauty of "I Wasn't Scared of Flying" as examples of how he evades the predictably introspective lyrical trappings that often accompany this style of folk pop. Or there's the quintessentially Duffyesque "Don't Feed the Rats" ("The world is full of missing girls/ Geraldine, Janes and Ophelias"). Also of note is the excellent hidden 13th track, which unlike many end-of-album songs actually finishes off the cd quite nicely. From the Lilac Time's self-titled debut to 2001's "Lilac 6", this band has made extraordinarily original, intelligent and catchy pop-folk music. "Keep Going" is an exception only in that it improves upon the earlier albums and exceeds all expectations. My vote for album of 2003. Keep going indeed!

Probably the best album - EVER!.......2003-08-29

For fans of Stephen Duffy and The Lilac Time, each new album comes as a precious, and highly anticipated, gift. Stephen's music has been my favorite since I was a young American transplant in 1988 Surrey grazing in the local music shop where the shopkeeper told me Mr. Duffy had "abandoned Duran Duran", and I had to know why. The Lilac Time was as good a reason as I could possibly have imagined.

Much time has passed and not without a great deal of maturation on the part of Stephen Duffy. Each successive offering (including a stint as a solo artist in the 90's) has explored new musical and lyrical territory, and expertly gleaned the most succulent morsels for his melodic recipes. Fortunate for us lucky enough to have discovered this rich musical trove, his obscurity has ultimately led to a musical career untainted by the need to prove anything.

"Keep Going" delivers the goods in spades. This album is chock-full of the elegant, delicious, and sensitive musical moments we have come to expect from this masterful songsmith. Not only that, but this album appears to have been a work that is completely faithful to his muse, without the imposition of the usual pop imperatives. The arrangements are brilliantly spare and beautiful. Stephen's unforced singing delicately delivers his brutally honest, agonic, and witty lyrics without a hint of self-consciousness.

Today it's my birthday (33) and my most cherished gift is the imported "Keep Going". I'm listening right now and thanking the gods of music that Mr. Duffy shares this planet with us.

The best album of 2003!.......2003-08-18

Keep Going by Stephen Duffy and the Lilac Time was the best album of 2003, period. An amazingly beautiful and emotional work of art from start to finish. While I do have my own personal favorites, not a single track on this CD can be identified as sub-par. My own favorites: Bank Holiday Monday, So Far Away, and the hidden 13th track, An Open Book.

Album Description

Somewhere between The Killers, Duran Duran and Robbie Wiliams you'll find 'brittlestar', an up and coming alt-pop-rock act that, though based in Canada, is gaining big attention in the USA and the UK.

The man behind the curtain of brittlestar is Stewart Reynolds. In the summer of 2004, he and Stephen Duffy (The Lilac Time, and now co-writer with Robbie Williams) shared song ideas and came up with the new album 'waiting'. A collection of 8 pop-rock songs with melodies so strong they may never leave your head.

To round out the album the Toronto-based DJ, MYAGI, was brought in to provide two killer remixes of the songs 'Goodbye' and 'For You'. Both of which have already been receiving club and radio play.

Customer Reviews:

The next big thing.......2005-03-01

If you like The Killers you will LOVE Brittlestar. Dark lyrics arranged with simple melodies, guitars and retro-synths. This album is a find. The only drawback is that it's only a matter of time before everyone else catches on.

Mike McCready - CEO of Polyphonic HMI.......2005-02-15

Hit Song Science rated the second song on this CD (Goodbye) has having very high hit potential and when I first listened to it I knew we'd gotten it right again. It really is one of those songs that grabs you and doesn't let go. The album is worth it if only for that song. Nevertheless, the other songs on this CD are also very good and there are a few follow up singles as well. This is a great CD and I look forward to seeing Brittlestar climb the charts.

Catchy Uplifting Pop.......2005-02-06

Listen to the sample MP3, you'll hear what I mean.

These songs might be compared to a Matthew Sweet or A.C. Newman, but with brighter, shinier production, better vocals and more ambitious pop melodies. I haven't seen Brittlestar live, but I suspect that with less gloss in the mix they'll absolutely shred.

Waiting is a great all-around recording with songs that should enjoy broad appeal with music fans. The Myagi mixes are not throw-aways, but rather highlights (particularly infectious at that). The only drawback is that Waiting could easily explode into the next hyped thing. As much as I'd hate to see that, this record easily has the goods, and given that, I'm more than happy to pour gasoline ;^) on the fire.

Brilliant debut.......2005-02-03

A fantastic debut album from Brittlestar! Everything about it is catchy and musically tight. There are no filler or throwaway songs - every one here is a gem. The lyrics have thought and wit behind them, and the tunes are contagious.

Harmony.......2005-01-24

This CD is harmonious as a backdrop to a dinner party or the main event in a pensive state. Stewart blends original lyrics and prodigious melody to form a perfect union. The fuse of tracks lend unique solace that carry through the CD and bring marrow to pop music.
Well done Brittlestar!

A MUST HAVE!.......2003-11-24

This is a must have CD! Full of musical richness as well as Duffy's rich, powerful and incredibly versatile voice. From the the soulful start to the rocking finish, this CD will hook you on all tracks. The band is tight and is the perfect vehicle to showcase Duffy's sound. Not only is this CD fun to listen to, it will have you tapping your toes - unless you are up and dancing! If you are not able to catch Duffy live in the Portland area (which I would highly recommend), then this is the next best thing!!!

Amazing energy and emotion.......2003-11-23

I have had the rare honor and privilege of hearing Duffy Bishop and her band perform live. So I was curious to see if the amazing energy and emotion that she brings to her live performance would possibly translate to her new CD - Ooh Wee. I was not disappointed and would highly recommend it.

From the first time I heard Duffy sing, I knew she was something special. Not "just" a singer, but one with a tremendously versatile singing voice - from impossibly low tones that make you tremble to powerful heights that bring out the goosebumps. She can sing with wild, emotional abandon, yet total musical control. When Duffy Bishop sings, you believe what this woman is singing. She is backed by a phenomenal band on this CD - fantastic guitar, piano and Hammond organ solos and backup abound throughout. Tight and rich vocal background harmonies on Act Right, You're Gonna Make Me Cry and I'm Blue make you want to listen again and again. You find your whole body movin' to Alley Cat and Rock House.

Buy this CD - it's a great one.

Amazing.......2003-11-08

Ooh Wee! is awesome from beginning to end. You will be swept away by Duffy's soulful vocals on Combination for Love and Ain't No Use. Then you'll be up dancing to Rock House and Keep on Churnin, a lovely little ditty about dairy products (wink). Do yourself a favor and buy this CD. You won't regret it.

Superb portrait of British blues singer's early development.......2002-11-01

This excellent set starts at the beginning of Duffy Power's "freedom" from the Larry Parnes pop merry-go-round (in 1962). Included are a string of great performances with the early Graham Bond band circa 1963. That means with Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and John McLaughlin, folks. You should hear what he and the band do with "I Saw Her Standing There." His vocal style was still relatively callow at that point but by the end of the first disc (1964), the full Duffy Power vocal sound had evolved. The second disc reprises a good deal of material found on "Just Say Blue" but includes worthwhile additions and ends with a singularly inappropriate single from 1967--Duffy's desperate bid to get a hit.

This set is a fine companion-piece to the deleted Edsel anthology "Little Boy Blue" which consists of nothing but Power's fantastic self-produced recordings from 1964 to 1967. Indeed, if you own both that set and this one, you will have everything Power did from 1962 through 1967--arguably his most inspired years.
