Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Jonathan Sprout whips out his prescription pad as general practitioner on 1993's Dr. Music, dosing up a country cure here (the goofy, gassy "Wyatt Burp"), some healing hip-hop there ("Games"), and even a restorative hard-rockin' number ("Patience"). As with Sprout's American Heroes, the music here is impressively and adventurously performed. Where many releases for kids rely on the hackneyed hokey-pokey to get them grooving, Sprout energetically insists that "we're gonna clap our hands / and sing along / and dance around / and rock & roll!" ("Here Comes the Show"). The songs' subjects aren't strictly for fun: "The Magic Word" recalls the door-opening power of the P word ("You know that people love it / That's the beauty of it"); "The Bully" bravely pokes past the thorny exterior of the cantankerous Bobby to blow his bad-boy cover ("From behind the tough disguise / Bobby has tears in his eyes"); and "Patience" is in praise of the starstruck Jamie, who has her sights set on becoming the next Hendrix but hunkers down to practice, practice, practice, "even when it isn't fun." In all, Sprout in a stethoscope works. If flat, uninspired, flimsily produced kids' music is what ails you, the doctor is in. --Tammy La Gorce --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Very Relaxing.......2007-05-27
Since having many sleepness nights and many which needed sleeping pills, I have been very anxious about bedtime! For the past couple of years I have been on and off sleeping medications and have continued to have problems with fear at bedtime. Fear of not falling asleep would keep me worrying at night and in turn create what I feared... the inability to fall asleep! But, since I have purchased this CD I have used it whenever I get anxious. When I'm lying in bed worried about the night (because I'm in a new unknown place or the work day starts in just a few hours) I just put on my headphones and listen to the music. I can't remember the last time I didn't find myself awake after several hours, only remembering the first 5 minutes of the CD. After I first got the CD sometimes I didn't fall asleep to the music, but it was always calming and relaxing. If you're anxious and need some relaxation or sleep, this CD will be perfect for you as it was for me!
Delta Sleep System.......2007-05-23
Can't sleep without it. Very Wonderful Product! I always have had trouble falling asleep takes me a really long time and through the night wake up every 2 hours or so and try to fall back asleep. Now I wake up maybe once or twice a night I turn it back on and fall alseep very fast. I would recommend to anyone I know.
God's gift to Sleep assistance.......2007-04-12
God's gift to help me sleep. Was recommended by a sleep therapist and it is one of the greatest investments i have made. i play every night. Thank you Delta Sleep System's keep up great work for us insomniacs.
Did little for me.......2007-04-10
At first when I listened to the cd, it did help me fall asleep sooner than I normally do but it wasn't to the point that I could really see a big impact. I'm still suffering of sleep deprivation so I'm looking for something else. Hope it works for you.
Not the answer for me.......2007-03-03
I have tested this CD several times and the results came out the same: I still could not sleep. It must work for some, based on the other reviews, but I found the melodies distracting if not annoying.

Album Description
EXPERIENCE THE BRAIWNAVE STATES OF ADVANCED MEDITATORS
In cooperation with the Dalai Lama, researchers have investigated the brainwave patterns of Tibetan Buddhist monks in states of deep meditation. The studies reveal that these advanced meditators produced high levels of a brainwave called GAMMA.
Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, a pioneer in the use of sound for healing and altering states of mind, has created a powerful CD program which weaves subtle pulses of GAMMA brainwave frequencies into a multi-layered musical soundtrack. Your own brainwaves "lock on" to these Gamma waves and move you easily into states of deep meditation, heightened self-awareness, and unity with the world around you.
Simply listen in the background as you meditate or use the visualization and meditation exercises included in the enclosed booklet.

The Delta Sleep System has helped me somewhat but the Gamma System has been life altering!!!
I am excited to purchase some newer systems with their new technology!
Outstanding.......2007-05-13
I liked the one CD so much that I gave it to a friend and bought the 2 CD set which I like even better. These are really lovely.
Sooooothing.......2007-05-09
After Theta meditation, the Gamma meditation system is the next step to take you even deeper. One of my favourites.
Cured my ADD!!!....temporarily anyway.......2007-04-27
I have inattentive ADD and like most ADDers (lingo for ADD sufferers) it has been the source of much misery and suffering in my life. Especially in my case since conventional ADD medications never worked much for me. I had great success with Ritalin...for only a few days, then I developed an immunity to its effects. Adderall didn't work at all. Had some mild success with Concerta for a few months but eventually developed an immunity to it also, and the side effects were bad. Even tried antidepressants with no luck.
As such, I've had to find alternative means of treatment. I did some research and found out how meditation can aid to relax and focus the mind. Many ADDers have claimed that meditation helped them better cope with the disorder. One article I read even went so far as to claim that meditation could completely cure ADD, but I was skeptical as there have never been documented cases of ADD being cured, let alone by meditation.
I have been a meditation practitioner for a few years, but a sporadic practioner. I have never practiced meditation regularly due to my lack of discipline caused by my condition. Still, I have had mild success with it, and would probably have had greater success if I had the discipline to follow a daily regiment. Nevertheless, meditation has remained a subject of much interest to me. Over the years I have amassed a rather extensive library of books and CDs on the subject. This brings me to this wonderful CD (finally). On the second try of this CD, after meditating for just half an hour, I opened my eyes and felt the same way I felt when I took Ritalin for the first time. I felt focused and attentive. I experienced mental clarity I had not experienced in years. My moodiness, irritability and mild depression were gone. I felt cured. This is without a doubt the best meditation CD I have.
I couldn't believe it and still can't quite wrap my head around it. All the research i've done on meditation indicated that it would take years of regular, disciplined practice to get anywhere near the results I got with this CD. I still can't believe how easily it just happened. As of this writing, I have only used the CD twice. However, as mentioned in the subject heading, the mental clarity only lasted a few hours, after which I gradually reverted back to my foggy, scattered mind. But I am filled with hope that with regular listening I will be able to attain a state of mental clarity for longer periods. I write this review with the hope of helping my fellow ADDers find another means of treatment. But please bear in mind that things affect different people differently, so I cannot guarantee that you will be able to duplicate the degree of success I had with the CD. But if you do decide to try it, I sincerely wish you the best of luck!!!
This is the best CD!.......2007-03-22
I bought this CD not knowing what to get for meditation. I was looking for the best! I got it! This is my first and if it gets any better than this I would be surprised. I have spoken to people who have taken years to get to where I am now in meditating. I am hooked! After about a week of listening to this 15 minutes a day I am now meditating to this for an hour a day. I feel the vibration in my body. I see things, people.. its awesome!

A Great Comp Of Dr. Hook Songs Capitol........2007-03-03
Well in beginning i bought this album for the songs: Cover Of The Rolling Stone & When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman. But as soon i popped in this disc i just fell in love with whole thing. the and more to title of the album impiles the fact that there are few songs tacked on for your listening pleasure, i must say my favorite tracks are: I Could'nt Believe, A Little Bit More. Sexy Eyes & Sharing The Night Together( Are Definitely Disco Influnced) but still likeable. Radio should've may the top ten along with Cover Of The Rolling Stone, Years From Now. Brings tears almost, it's tender ballad. This album is one that you'll want to dance to because there are slow and fast tunes. when i listening to this album i think of palm trees and the sun.
Disappointing.......2007-01-22
Not what I was hoping for. This album does not include several of his best songs. Definitely not his "greatest hits".
Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show-- Greatest Hits (And More) .......2007-01-18
Dr. Hook always brings back memories of my childhood. Their music is real the lyrics tell a story and it is good music to listen to after a hard days of work in your own little space. Great stuff !!!!
My opinion.......2007-01-10
I was thrilled to find this recording. I had been looking for one particular song by Dr. Hook for years and didn't know the name of it. I was so greatly surprised to find it on this albumn. It is Love Me A Little Bit More. It is a very special song to me and am thrilled to have it. I would recomend this albumn to any one that loves Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show.
I'm Hooked.......2006-09-02
Dr Hook was and still remains one of the most underated groups to emerge during the Seventies. You really had to be lucky to see them in concert but they're somewhat forgotton now. The songs on this album are all classics and will remain that way to all seventies music lovers out there. Good quiet time music is at a premium these days and " A Little Bit More " is should always be played with romance in the air. Great album!!! Two thumbs up!!!

Sleep and Peace.......2007-06-12
If you have trouble unwinding or falling to sleep, this is a must. I have worked alternating graveyard and daytime shifts for years. This helps calm the mind.
Works great, just wish it wasn't creepy!.......2007-05-15
I would give this 5 stars because it puts me to sleep within 10 minutes...but it's a little creepy sounding and if I do wake up for some reason (cat scratching on the door or something) it always scares me for a minute to wake up to it. It does make me sleep though, so I guess it does it's job.
Delta sleep system 2.0.......2007-04-04
It's not nearly as good as I thought it would be. I got a demo cd from centerpointe about holosync, and just the demo was mind-altering and relaxing. I should have spent my money with them instead. Sorry for the bad review, but I was really disappointed, especially from all the hype about this product.
Wasn't quite what I expected........2007-03-26
I wasn't satisfied with this CD. It was nice, but didn't get me to sleep any better.
really works!.......2007-03-19
I find that the music actually works in putting you into a trance state!
Its his best work to date!

Album Description
We all seek a state of higher consciousness that awakens and enlivens our whole being. Masters of meditation and yoga, great artists, inventors, and highly accomplished people in many walks of life have learned to develop and live from such a state.
British researcher and Zen master C. Maxwell Cade spent decades analyzing the brainwave patterns of these extraordinary people. He discovered that they each shared a common pattern of brainwaves, which Cade called the Awakened Mind Pattern, and which he believed held the key to tapping into one's highest potential.
Created by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, The Awakened Mind System 2.0 uses breakthrough audio recording processes to help you access this brainwave pattern so that you can directly experience the enormous benefits of this heightened state of consciousness.
Dr. Thompson embeds inaudible pulses of sound that mirror the Awakened Mind Pattern into an ambient musical soundtrack. As you listen, your own brainwaves begin to reflect the Awakened Mind pattern, drawing you easily into states of deep insight, clarity of mind, creative inspiration and peak performance.
Listen as soft background music while working, painting, writing, or enjoying other creative activities. Daily use trains your brain to draw on your deepest capacities and abilities wherever and whenever you need them.
- Based on over 15 years of pioneering clinical research - Use with headphones or ordinary speakers - Contains no spoken words or subliminal messages
Dr. Jeffrey Thompson's pioneering work with thousands of patients has led to groundbreaking discoveries in how sound frequency patterns built into musical soundtracks induce brainwave entrainment. Fortune 500 companies, healthcare professionals, clinics, hospitals, meditation groups, and individuals worldwide use Dr. Thompson's audio programs for deep relaxation, healing, inner exploration, and meditation.

Dr. Thompson helps again by giving us a gently energizing CD that helps us focus, think with clarity and get our creative juices flowing. I use this almost daily.
Takes me to another world.......2006-12-15
If you like the first cd then this one is just as good. The first track goes deep into relaxation making me feel like there is life beyond our every day experiences. This cd will make you think as you relax. listen and experience it for yourself.
Dr. of Drones.......2005-03-05
I'm a long time fan of Dr. Thompson and have alot of his material.
Without futher ado; the first track is a great piece of ambience, period. Track 2 is ruined (imo) by a grating hiss that's in your face - or ear.
Seeing that he's both veteran musician and doctor perhaps there's therapeutic value in this. If so, he should've included a brief note in the booklet. But track 1 is long enough...
At first I thought this cd was a sign of him washing out. I think I heard a few disharmonic moments - as in mistakes.
This, along with the unpalatable hissing on track 2 gave me the impression of a cheap commercial plug.
But the second and third time around I found track 1 to be very good indeed. It's certainly not like taking a valium tho as it's
got a balance of brainwaves...as compared to say, the Delta program (which has more than delta but i'm talking concentrations).
Others have said there are better cd's for therapeutic effectiveness. Probably. I have the Insight cd which uses a new layering technique and is supposedly top of the line (ie., as good as centerpoint and tmi's cd's - only cheaper and shorter). But this uses rain as a mask. Very boring but you can Really feel the change in states of consciousness. You can actually feel yourself go into - and out of - alpha/theta/delta. Tho with this, it Could be that with just rain you're more aware of the changes.
So I've a bunch of these types of cd's. Now it could be that I don't listen to them enough. But to me, they really don't do anything - besides the enjoyment of listening of course. To, we all go into these states naturally at night anyway.
I can't stop!.......2005-01-19
This cd makes me feel as though someone stuck their finger in my brain and stirred it around. I can't pinpoint what exactly feels different, but I find myself thinking about turning it on all the time. My boyfriend says it helps his ability to concentrate. We've both been sleeping tremendously better. I didn't understand all those other reviews saying it cures 'the blahs' til now. It really perks me up on a break at work. It's easier to stay grounded. I can't wait to try the others!
Brainwave Maestro Composes A Classic.......2004-10-28
I've been following the works of Dr. Jeffrey S. Thompson since 1989, when an acquaintance gave me a cassette recording of one of his earlier primitive works. "The Doctor" has had, since that time, several phases of innovation which have mainly been a progression from the use of multitudinous sculpted sounds and even "noise" to a much more accessible sound with classical aesthetics of beauty, primarily synthesizer based. He recently has developed a technique of, in his words, "creat[ing] pulses directly within the sounds themselves instead of pasting the music on top of sound pulses" (as is quite common with brainwave composers.) This means the pulse is somewhat "hidden" and one is not distracted from the music. Cool. This disc is completely ambient and therefore a superb meditation tool. I must also mention that this is one of The Doctor's BEST productions since he began using the "wall of synthesis." Sometimes he has had what i thought were glitches of noise perhaps from a dirty potentiometer. But, with Thompson, one never knows if that noise is actually there intentionally. This disc, however, is very clean so headphone use is care-free. Finally, his focus on the "Awakened Mind State" makes this a valuable learning tool for serious consciousness explorers. If I was going to recommend one Thompson disc that is on Amazon to someone who knows nothing about his work, this would be the one.

Spirit was formed with the intention to combine jazz, rock, classical, and folk with a mystical orientation. Led by the family duo of Hendrix-inspired guitarist Randy California and his uncle, jazz drummer Ed Cassidy (whose shaved head--some 20 years ahead of its time--was the band's visual focus), Spirit had a few idiosyncratic hits such as "I Got A Line On You." The band didn't reach its prime until Twelve Dreams, after which they promptly broke up. A loosely constructed sci-fi concept album, it contains the band's biggest hit, the ecological "Nature's Way" (complete with booming kettle drums), the surreal rock of "Animal Zoo," and the orchestral psychedelia of "Life Has Just Begun." Bristling with ideas, energy, and California's meaty guitar, Twelve Dreams exemplifies the best of the late '60s experimentalism. --Steven Mirkin

It's "Nature's Way" for all of us to buy the CD!.......2007-06-02
As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" I am often asked to review and give thoughts on various 60's and 70's rock and roll albums.
Spirit unfortunately is a secret that has been too well kept. Sure a few have heard the amazing "I Got A Line On You" and "Nature's Way" from this release but there was so much more.
Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus is the best introduction to their actual studio recordings if you have decided to procure something along with a "Best Of."
Randy California's guitar will stand-out not only for his intricacies but the ability to tastefully perform rock, psychedelic, jazz and all in between. Take note of how well versed he was.
The consistency and even flow of the record will be obvious when you first hear "Nothin' To Hide." Spirit enters the Grateful Dead realm with the pretty "Why Can't I Be Free" and throws some psychedelic sounds our way with "Space Child."
The remastered version sounds very powerful. You can check out the strong fidelity when listening through the cool Amazon sample feature.
Pay homage to Randy California and make this a proud entry in the CD collection.
Be well always,
Craig Fenton

The soundtrack of my dreams.......2007-03-09
In 1973, I was an un-soldier stationed at a remote U.S. army outpost in South Korea. We lived in metal Butler huts (hooches), 12 people per hooch; and most of the guys in my hooch were draftees like me. We spent a LOT of time sharing aromatherapy materials and listening to all kinds of music, including Eddie Kendricks, Pharaoh Sanders, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Al Green, Donny Hathaway, the James Gang...and Spirit.
Many nights I would fall asleep with the Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus playing in the background, over and over again, on a small portable cassette player that had been left running because someone had been too stoned to turn it off. The player was set up to auto-repeat every time it reached the end of the tape, so this album was literally the soundtrack of my own dreams for months. I never got tired of it. It's magical music.
These songs have always been out there just sort of weightless, floating above all of the other tunes in my musical subconscious. I've never completely figured out the lyrics to "Nothing to Hide" or "Life Has Just Begun" -- the lyric translations submitted online are just laughable -- but it doesn't matter. My own personal soundtrack has changed over the years, so I hear different things now than I did when these 12 songs first got under my skin, 34 years ago. Sardonicus still gives me goose bumps today.
Very Pleased.......2007-02-05
Very pleased with the purchase of this har-to-find album. Delivered in great condition.
Amazing.......2006-08-02
As I wrote in a review of the Family which plays together, I am not sure if this is better than the 2nd and 3rd albums, (The Family and Clear), I love this album and go around singing Nature's Way, Love has found a way, Animal Zoo and especially the very short, Why Can't I be free, which to me sums up the late 60s and 70s as well as any Dead song.
They captured the spirit of the time so perfectly that I have never gotten tired of their best songs. I thought Clear was the perfect album with its wonderful instrumentals and since each song flows so perfectly into the next while some of the 12 Dreams don't fit in so perfectly but who cares?
This is amazing music which you really have to have.
"I've been given the shaft".......2006-07-22
After hearing this album, I must conclude that I was a deprived child. What else could explain why, after coming of age in the late 1960's and early 1970's, I never heard this album in its entirety until I was 52 years old? There I was, living at a Midwestern college campus in the early 1970's, and the counterculture failed to introduce me to this classic work of rock and roll art? Oh, sure, they'll tell you that I heard the highlights on the burgeoning underground FM radio sites of the era... but does that really account for such a collosal oversight? I think not.
Throughout my half-century on planet Earth, the spirit of 'Spirit' has been summed up in the songs 'I Got a Line On You' and 'Nature's Way'. Suspecting that these exceptional compositions may represent the mere tip of an iceberg of delights, I acquired a ten-track 'best-of-Spirit' compilation a couple years ago. While the music was good enough, my curiosity was satisfied that the band must have been a cult favorite, such as Arthur Lee's 'Love', and I had missed Spirit's Revelation. I kept hearing, however, that 'Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus' was the band's true masterwork. A week ago, I stumbled across a brand new, expanded and remastered version of the disc for the unheard of price of $7, shipping included, and had no choice but to take the plunge. Needless to say, the Spirit has been revealed to me.
There are four truly outstanding songs on this 'Dr. Sardonicus' remaster. The opener, 'Nothin' To Hide' is rich, funky, and a bit ominous rock number featuring an engaging chorus. It's followed by one of the iconic tracks of hippie consciousness, 'Nature's Way'. This remaster vibrantly displays the rich harmonies that were coaxed forward by the masterful production of David Briggs. Track six, titled 'Mr. Skin', garnered a good deal of FM airplay in the early 1970's... and rightly so due to its many textured, robust feel. And finally, last among the bonus tracks, we're treated to 'Red Light Roll On', which makes a funky pop experience out of "getting the shaft". In addition to these exceptional tunes, the album is rounded out by tracks that are certainly a cut above filler. 'When I Touch You' and 'Life Has Just Begun' are rock anthems, the first riding high on a churning rhythm guitar riff, and the latter a rock collage of psychedelic sounds. 'Animal Zoo' is thick and fuzzy, up-beat rock, while 'Space Child' is a jazzy piano and trippy synthesizer-based instrumental. 'Street Worm' offers perhaps the best hard-core lead guitar runs from Randy California on the disc, and 'Morning Will Come' was a pulsing rock track with vocals and horns that were appealing enough to also claim FM airtime.
There are some lesser tracks, but certainly nothing you will feel forced to suffer through. 'Love Has Found a Way' is a bit overworked by the special FX, beginning with the backward rhythm track compliments of Briggs. It has an interesting bridge, however, which settles down nicely rather than expanding the melody, as most bridges do. Similarly enjoyable is the first bonus track, 'Rougher Road', with its rapelling rhythm guitar foundation. Unfortunately, as with the two bonus tracks that follow (reprises of 'Animal Zoo' and 'Morning Will Come') the offerings are in a monaural format. The closer on the original album, 'Soldier', while vocally intricate, is rather subdued and undistinguished.
I'm not sure what the supposed concept is behind 'Dr. Sardonicus', but there are twelve tracks for the twelve dreams, so that makes more sense than a lot of what passed for psychedelia in the late 1960's. Compared to other supposed, overlooked masterpieces, such as Love's 'Forever Changes', 'Twelve Dreams...' delivers some serious goods. And this 1996 remastering and repackaging, with extensive and informative liner notes from band leader Randy California, as well as numerous period photographs and illustrations, make for an extemely attractive product. If you're a fan of rock music from the psychedelic era, and you've never heard this disc, do yourself a favor and check it out. You may discover, to your utter disbelief, that you too have been deprived!

Music to Enjoy.......2007-05-13
Doctor Zhivago is a soundtrack that goes from soft and slow to thunderous and dynamic. If you never knew the story, the music would move you to joy and tears with each selection. From the Overture to Lara's Theme, it is a ride of high and lows. This is one soundtrack you just put on and close your eyes. It is perfect.
love that track.......2007-03-27
The product is great. My mom wanted the 1 track, Lara's Theme. She actually was disappointed that all the other songs were on there. I am not sure what she expected from a soundtrack. It is exactly what I expected.
Great music.......2006-11-03
Have always loved this sound track and now I can listen at my convenience.
Dr. Zhivago Soundtrack.......2006-08-17
Love this CD. Very relaxing and the sound is very good. Makes me want to see the movie again.
"A Czar Is Born".......2004-09-19
Maurice Jarre created a sound-track classic-for-all-time . . . and for all times with the soundtrack for the 1965 film "Dr. Zhivago". This was an epic movie of an epic love and demanded an epic musical score. This soundtrack transcended that demand. While it was the perfect accompnyment to every scene of the film . . .it stands on its own as well, even now almost forty years later.
The recurring "theme" - "Lara's Theme" (popularly known as 'Somewhere My Love'- as lyrics were added for pop radio) is today, instantly recognizable to everyone. (I can't hear that theme without "falling in love all over again" with Julie Cristie, who played the role of Lara - or who WAS Lara!)
Another memorable track is the "Kontakion" from the Kievan Russian Orthodox Requiem Liturgy. This hymn is emotionally moving in every Eastern Orthodox funeral or memorial service for the dead . . . it was just as emotional in the film setting as the young boy Yuri (Zhivago) attends his mother's funeral and interment. Just listening to the track today, brings memories of that scene . . . and to any Orthodox familiar with his/her own spiritual tradition, evokes prayerful memories of every funeral of any loved ones who have departed this life. This track alone makes this disc worthwhile owning.
This 1995 "Thirtieth Anniversary Edition" is expanded to include much music hich was not included on the oiginal 1995 release . . . all of it worthy. Also, three variations of "Lara's Theme" (not on the film score) are also added "bonus tracks" - one jazz, one rock, and one swing -- all interesting and enjoyable, though out of the film context . . .but they demonstrate just how adaptable and viable "Laras Theme" actually is and can be. (I must admit that the "rock" version sounds more like "Dixieland to my hearing.)
This is a more than worthwhile album to own and to listen to over and over again. Even if you never saw the movie,"Dr. Zhivago", you will enjoy this album . . . and maybe even be inspired to read Boris Pasternak's book . . . and maybe even get a copy of the film to watch . . . again and again . . . and possibly fall in love with Julie Christie (Lara).
(p.s. - Boris Pasterak actually meant this "love story triangle" to represent being torn between the love for "Mother Russia" with the "Czar" and "The Revolution" and all that it entailed and hoped to build for a new Russia and all that Revolution ruined and destroyed . . . Zhivago, Tonya, Lara, Strelnikov, Komarovsky are all "symbols" of the love/longing/strife/war of Revolutionary and post-Revolutionary Russia.)

Pop has a good time eating itself on this collection of Doctor Demento favorites. The tunes on this stylistically varied double CD send up a plethora of pop culture phenomena. The perpetrators come from every imaginable entertainment background. Pro wrestlers, folk singers, comedians, actors, garage bands--you never know who's liable to produce a novelty song. Here it doesn't matter if a respected composer or a one-hit wonder recorded the ditty; all sorts of tracks jostle each other on this funny collection. The material covers quite a time span, ranging from Spike Jones's "Der Fuehrer's Face," released in 1942, to "Wappin'," an unreleased track by Darrell Hammond and Christopher Snell which was a hit on Demento's radio show at the tail end of the 1980s. The 20th Anniversary Collection is quite an assortment of the corny, goofy, wacky, and wild. --Fred Cisterna

Why Does Music Have To Be So Seroius?.......2007-06-27
This album is just plain fun. It's great to have a nice collection of novelty songs to sprinkle in during a party or when making compilation discs for long drives or just and evening of fun with some friends.
Dr. Demento's collection surely won't be one of those precious "desert island" albums, those must have albums one would never be caught without, but in the context of a complete collection, it's good to have a few laughs here and there.
You'd really have to be a baby-boomer to appreciate the full context of this album as many are from the before the 1970's, still have some fun, why not?
Lots of fun.......2007-06-27
My son suggested this as a birthday gift to his older sister, from him to her - I think I've listened to it more than either of them.
Perfect.......2007-05-19
I've been looking for some of these songs for a loooong time. Not only do I get to relive my adolescence, but I'm able to introduce my daughter (who shares my sense of humor) to some of my old favorites (G rated, of course)
A "Must-Have" For Dr. Demento Lovers.......2007-04-20
Unbeknownst to my conservative mother, my brother and I (born in the late 60's) listened to a wonderful radio program called "Dr. Demento" growing up. I told my mother about that recently, and her remark was that if she had known it was on the radio, she wouldn't have let us listen to it! LOL Anyhow, this collection has the vast majority of MY old favorites, such as the otherwise unavailable "Existential Blues", and many others unfamiliar to me to enjoy. It comes in two CD's of 18 songs each. I have happily imported it into my iPod and can't wait to hear everything!
The funniest CDs ever!.......2007-03-08
I used to have this CD collection back in college, and something recently reminded me of a song and I knew exactly where to buy it. I am very pleased with this collection of songs.

Album Description
"Loaded with three-part harmonies, orchestral strings, heavy reverb, and fuzzy guitars." - ROLLING STONE
"Continuing a Philly psychedelic tradition that spans from Bardo Pond to Sun Ra." - SPIN
"Not that any great band really comes from anywhere expected or anything, but HOLY FUCK where did these guys come from?" - THE FADER
Abandoning their usual method of production and opting for a new experience, Dr. Dog recorded We All Belong on a twenty-four-track, two-inch tape machine as opposed to their previous releases, which were recorded on their faithful eight-track. A band that thrives on using creative muscle to overcome the inherent limitations of a minimal amount of equipment, the twenty-four-track introduced new possibilities as well as new challenges. Taking full advantage of both, Dr. Dog managed to make an album that captures the organic spirit so important to the band while introducing new layers of vocal harmonies and textured instrumentation the band had only been able to imagine prior. The recording sessions for We All Belong yielded material that the band did not feel worked with the album as a whole but seemed to work as an excellent bridge between Easy Beat and We All Belong. Dr. Dog released this material in September 2006 as a six-song EP, Takers and Leavers, which Rolling Stone raved "matches The Shins with smart, retro psych rock." We All Belong was recorded in between headlining dates, a European tour with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and US dates with The Strokes.
Customer Reviews:
Favorite CD of the year so far, by far! .......2007-07-02
Dr. Dog just puts a big smile on my face. They mix elements of the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, and the Band. They also have a nice "off the cuff" attitude (i.e. rough around the edges, like Exile On Main Street)...their music still falls under the category of indy/alternative, but again, they owe a lot to 60's and 70's rock. There are lots of vocal harmonies on here, lots of piano and organ, great guitar licks, and some terrific songwriting. A few of the songs sound remarkably like outtakes from Music from Big Pink (the Band), and in a GOOD way... This CD grabbed me the very FIRST time I listened to it; now the songs are starting to embed themselves in my brain, in my consciousness. I highly recommend checking out this new Dr. Dog CD.
BEST BAND ON THE PLANET.......2007-04-24
There is a review below that really says it all in how superb the music and lyrics of Dr. Dog is, this album is a must-have (as well as their previous effort, Easybeat). Thoughtful, intellegent lyrics combined with great musicianship and a stunning live show lead up to the obvious statement: Dr. Dog is the best-kept secret in music. It's now time for the world to know.....
Than Kew!.......2007-04-15
Do the right thing. Get this CD. Dr. Dog is not only some of the best pop since Squeeze, but it's old fart friendly. Get a copy for gramps.
Absolutely Amazing!.......2007-04-10
I first heard Dr. Dog when I saw them open for The Black Keys in Minneapolis MN. I was amazed at the fact that I had not heard of them considering how good they are. I became in instant fanatic and ordered all four of their CD's. In my opinion, their most recent effort, "We All Belong" is their best. What I love about Dr. Dog is that they are familiar in the way that they are everything I love about bands from the past such as The Beatles and The Band but yet they are also incredibly original and new. This album is lyrically brilliant as well as musically superior to just about anything on the radio today. Dr. Dog write true songs rather than three chord numbers in which the chorus in rammed down your throat over the 30 to 40 times that is repeated in the song. In any given Dr. Dog song there are numerous chords used and many of them are somewhat advanced chords such as diminished chords. Between the chord structure and the perfect backbone made up of classic sounding bass lines and drums that are the very definition of rhythm and timing this band is simply better and more enjoyable to listen to than virtually any other out right now. The three part harmonies really add to the vintage sound of the record. Not many bands have used three part harmonies and executed them this successfully since the 1960's. It is hard to pick standout songs considering the fact that literally every song is a masterpiece but I guess if I had to choose, my favorites would be "Keep a Friend", "Alaska" and "My Old Ways". This is the best new record to come out during my life of 22 years. It is a simply a must have!
It pops ! It rocks !.......2007-04-04
I might be a teensy bit biased since I'm from Philly, but I can't stop listening and can't get the songs out of my head. Very impressive!

The science of brainwave entrainment is solid. This is a solid recording that provides music of a calming and pleasant nature.
In Sight.......2007-04-11
Since consciously using "the Secret", or if you prefer, the Law of Attraction, I have landed a gig as a meditation facilitator on Wednesday nights at the church that I belong to. I often use Jeffrey Thomson's CDs for background music. I find that even without headphones, people find it easier to come to center and relax more deeply than with the other music I tried...but come to think of it, I was playing Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult, and Deep Purple...
Just kidding...
But I'm not kidding at how deeply you'll be able to go into meditation with the consistent use of these CDs. Some people make the mistake of "tacking" meditation on their "to do" list. Meditation is never something one does; meditation is something you become. In meditation, you don't try to become centered and peaceful, you realize that within yourself there is already a centered place and all you have to do is let yourself go there. In truth, this is where we all came from and all meditation does is reawaken within us something that we have misplaced in our "busy-ness".
I know this review might sound a little metaphysical but think about it, why do you want to meditate, anyway? It's because at some level, you do want to rise above the physical...you do want to find peace and inner bliss and I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you ain't gonna find peace in the world until you find it within yourself...you're not going to find Heaven in a religion until you awaken from the dream that Heaven is right where you are. There is nothing outside of you and meditation puts you in touch with that certain "something" that is speaking from the depths of your being and desires to resurface Itself in you and through you.
This CD will help you wipe the sleep from your eyes, it will help you part the clouds of doubt, and wash away the decay that we may have let accumulate upon our minds, our hearts, and our spirits.
So, if you have to "do" anything today, do this: order this CD and start to realize with real eyes see what an incredible journey you are already on.
Peace and Blessings
Very Relaxing.......2007-03-18
This is a great CD to pop into your CD player when you have to study or concentrate on a task. It's very relaxing yet unobtrusive. I feel like it helps me concentrate better. Definitely worth the purchase.
Absolutely Awesome!.......2007-01-26
This is amazing! I can truly feel it working from side to side in my brain (you must use headphone, of course, for such profound results). This was so good, I gave mine to my brother; now I have to buy another for myself because I don't want to be without it!
Sound Medicine: Brainwave Massage.......2007-01-12
This is a great CD. I have used this CD and others by Dr. Thompson to decrease stress, help me relax, help me feel peaceful and help me fall asleep. Other brainwave CDs are energizing. I created a whole class topic after listening to a "Insight and Intuition" CD, and the class was good, if I say so myself. These CDs are better than drugs!
