A new direction.......2007-06-25

Circa Survive's Juturna left a lot of people schocked because literally out of nowhere, one of today's most talented bands was born. Now, Circa Survive have released their eagerly-awaited follow-up to Juturna, and does it live up to the expectations?

The album starts off with one of Circa Survive's best tracks "Living Together" which showcases some nice guitar melodies and leads. Anthony Green still shows off his vocal talents in the same manner as the previous album, while still writing captivating lyrics. The drums are still as present as ever with the odd-time signatures that constitute Circa's trademark. The drummer especially stands out in the track "The difference between medicine and poison is in the dose" where he leads off in a 16th note beat on the hi-hat.

However, this release just doesn't have the same feeling as Juturna which had an overall mood and just flowed with not a false note. Here, the band tries out some different directions with songs like "mandala" or "Kicking Your Crosses Down" which are honestly skip tracks. We just feel in these songs that Circa isn't as confident as in their other songs. In Juturna, every song was a standout and every song had a different effect on the listener. For this release, all songs are good but only a few stand out as being classic Circa Survive tracks.

That is not to say the record is not good, obviously it is phenomenal and definitely refreshing due to its unequaled originality. It also has that unique atmosphere that makes Circa Survive so special.

The artwork of the album is also very original with very beautiful drawings and nice fold-out pages which definitely add on to the evasive mood that Circa create through their art.

Overall, I would definitely recommend all Circa Survive fans to get their hands on this new release. Indeed, I may have found this release weaker than Juturna but some people may like it more, it's up to you. But one thing is for sure, it's that Circa Survive are definitely a stand-out band who are gonna be here a long time and that it will take a long time before another band bursts out onto the scene and surprises thousands of listeners in the way this band did.

Standout tracks include: "Living Together" , "Carry Us Away" and "Your Friends Are Gone"

Pierre Schifflers

wow.......2007-06-21

You guys saying you didn't like mandala or kick your crosses down are insane. Crosses is probably my favorite song.

This record is epic, almost mars volta like. This is an experience. This band is so exciting to be a part of. I don't listen to much rock anymore but I was so happy when I heard this album last week. The vocals mesh SO WELL with the beautiful guitarwork. I just cannot say how impressed I am.

The album creates a very atmoshperic mood for me, and is very psychedelic (Green does a lot of drugs - I saw him play on mushrooms once), so the creativity just oozes out of every pore. Do yourself a favor and listen to this asap.

Juturna Still Owns This...But Good Nonetheless.......2007-06-13

This CD contains the greatest Circa song I've ever heard, "Living Together". Absolutely gorgeous tune.

This album really has a few standout tracks but some of them seem kind of repetitive (Tracks 2 and 3 especially).

Juturna was definitely a more solid album all the way through. I would not put this CD off nonetheless, it has some really solid tunes and Kicking Your Crosses Down has one of the prettiest hooks ever.

Worth the wait.......2007-05-31

It's been two years since "Juturna" and Circa Survive has been busy with tour after tour. I was nervous about this album because the guys haven't had much down time, but "On Letting Go" doesn't disappoint. Anthony Green's lyrics and vocals are as close to perfect as possible, and guitars and drums have improved greatly since their first record. "On Letting Go" is amazing from start to finish, and it's a welcome reminder that good music still exists.

pure art.......2007-05-30

ethereal. tragic. emotional. singular. philosophical. a waking dream-world. an experience. like a good drug, produces fledgling emotions of exuberance and melancholy. a perfect expansion of the mind and stirring of the heart. screams of loss while singing of hope. art.

Deva ("Deva" is a Hindu title for divine) Premal has attracted a following by framing ancient Hindu mantras within atmospheric, contemporary settings. The result on Embrace, her third release, is at times flavorful, at other times undistinguished, but it produces more intriguing moments than duds. On occasion, Premal aspires to Enya-like reverence (e.g., tracks 2 and 4), then elsewhere coos her ancient text atop gentle grooves and jazzy flutes (tracks 3 and 6) in a manner suggestive of Deep Forest. Some might describe it as "smooth chant." Highlights include "Shree Ram Jai Ram," a beautifully realized cross-pollination of East and West (highlighted by Kit Walker's free-floating piano and Premal's resonant choir of voices) that hints at what Joni Mitchell might create if she tried her hand at Eastern music. --Terry Wood

Album Description

EMBRACE, the long awaited new album from Deva Premal, finds this best-selling singer at the height of her art, expressing the ancient wisdom of mantra through a contemporary musical vision. Her radiant voice, richer and more assured than ever before, floats above a cool, sensual groove provided by some of today's finest world fusion artists and producers Miten and Kit Walker (Walela, Kitaro, Neal Schon).

Deva Premal enthralled audiences worldwide with THE ESSENCE and LOVE IS SPACE. That phenomenal success continues with EMBRACE. Its relaxed, uplifting feel and elegant sense of space can only heighten the spell already cast by this mantra enchantress.

"Majestic, deep and full of love," Deva Premal's EMBRACE is a lovely and moving next chapter from an artist whose incredible potential is only beginning to unfold.

Album Description

Deva Premal's Embrace expands on the Eastern Indian fusion and ethereal vocals of her previous work, combining timeless mantras with contemporary arrangements. Innocent, soothing and laid-back. Features 8 tracks of sensual music for yoga, packaged in a slipcase. White Swan. 2004.

Customer Reviews:

sublime.......2006-11-12

Being Indian I started on this CD with trepidation, expecting a western pop version of indian chants. But Deva produces an authentic bhakti experience and dissolved my fear. Her music, though somewhat different from my past Indian experience, blissfully conveys the Spirit that are the words themselves. In India it is said that if one has bhakti in the heart then the singing of and about the Names will convey the inhernt bliss, irrespective of all else.
Listen to this CD and feel the bliss.

Uplifting, absolutely beautiful!!.......2006-09-02

I think this is one of Deva's best...her voice, the music are all deeply moving and wonderful...there are solemm pieces and also joyful ones that literally make me dance! Lots of drumming and even a little jazzy at times...I could listen to this CD over and over again and I never tire of it!!

Disappointing.......2006-06-08

I found this disc disappointing compared to Deva's brilliant first CD entitled The Essence - which is a must have. What seems strange to me is that she is on the inside cover touching Buddha's chest, while the first track sounds like make-out music. Hmmmm.... For what it's worth, an Indian Brahmin confirmed that some of the mantras are concoctions, too, which does not really set a good precedent. People copy Deva's chanting in their kirtans and in this respect her work is influential. Although being innovative can be commendable, spiritual traditional chants are, in my opinion, off limits for whimsical changes. I wish she would get her mantras from reliable sources in the future.

Hard core Deva fans won't notice, of course, and will love this.

Deva Premal Embrace.......2006-03-20

I really like this choice of music for practicing yoga at home. It makes the time fly by when during my yoga workout and the music is appropriate and calming.

Absolutely Wonderful.......2006-03-09

I first heard this CD while in my Yoga class. As soon as the instructor told me what it was, I immediately looked it up and listened to samples. I fell in love with it immediately. It is a very relaxing CD that I use during Yoga at home, to get to sleep at night and anytime I just need to destress. Deva Premal has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard!

Left Out.......2006-09-16

Liked the album & movie but in the soundtrack they should have dropped Don Henley's "She On The Zoom " ( weak song) for Berlin's "No More Words" which was in the film but not included on the soundtrack. Well, at the very least should have added the song to it.

80's Soundtrack.......2006-08-16

Very good 80's soundtrack covering a lot of different styles of music from that era. Features the very hard to find Madonna song "Gambler" I don't know why this song was never a radio hit, maybe because the opening of the song sounds a lot like "Maniac" from Flashdance.

Standout track: Change by John Waite featuring a young Patty Smythe from Scandal on background vocals.

I like it because it always pumped me up when I was young. Lunatic Fringe was a great song to ride and run to.

Journey does a great song in Only the young.

Get it; very good soundtrack.

If you like your Wagner served up in bleeding chunks or if you're simply in a hurry to hear the tunes, then this compilation is for you. The performances, drawn from the Polygram (mainly Deutsche Grammophon) back catalog, are for the most part authoritative. They feature the likes of Herbert von Karajan, with the Berlin Philharmonic, and Karl Böhm, with the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra (and chorus), in extracts from recordings of complete operas, and conductors Giuseppe Sinopoli, Otto Gerdes, and Antal Doráti in some of the more familiar overtures and preludes. Singing, without which it is impossible to get the full flavor of Wagner's work, is skirted whenever possible: this is an unapologetic tribute to Wagner the orchestral genius. At times the salesmanship is a little overblown--the glitzy packaging includes a cover shot of the helicopters from Apocalypse Now--and the sound, some of it from very good originals, seems to have been juiced with a little added digital reverb, resulting in an overall glassiness. The gaps between tracks are minimized, disco style, so there's no dead air, and the whole thing has an Entertainment Tonight feel to it. Were he around, Wagner would have screamed bloody murder, then happily taken his cut of the action. For today's on-the-go listener, this may well be the most practical way to enjoy Wagner's music, but we won't be happy until it motivates at least one newcomer to seek out a recording of a complete opera. Anyone who does that will find out what "apocalypse" really means. --Ted Libbey

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful collection and price!.......2007-05-11

I found this to be a nice collection of favorites, especially to keep in the car and listen to. It is a variety of well known compilations. Although not encompassing, it is perfect as a review for driving, relaxing, and enjoyment. Plus, the price is right!

Awesome collection!.......2007-01-10

This is a great collection of some of Wagner's most memorable songs for those of you who do not want to buy the whole opera's for some of his works.

Helicopters? Marines?.......2006-12-05

Do those infotainment marketing mavens ever get it right? Talk about Hollywood disconnect! Not only are the helicopters irrelevant, but to quote from the gushy drivel on the jacket, "The gripping power of Richard Wagner's music was demonstrated with spectacular effect in...Apocalpse Now, when the "Ride of the Valkyries' became synonymous with the chilling journey of Marine 'Huey' helicopters into battle..."

Marine? Marine? Them Hueys in the movie was ARMY Air Cav, slick! "First of the ninth--air mobile." If you're going to dally down that primrose path, at least get it right.

Better yet, drop the choppers. Most people who listen to Wagner probably realize that quality of an artistic work has a mystically inverse relationship to the number of helicopters contained in it.

As for the music, it is good, but the operatic equivalent of sound bites, which may be just right for people who are new to Wagner or just can't take very much of him. Hmm...perfect for a helicopter ride, perhaps?

A great addition to my music collection.......2006-07-20

This CD takes the place of all my other Wagner music. VERY well done. Somehow I didn't realize that there were two cds in the package--what a pleasant surprise! Of the two cds, I like the first one best, but they are both good. I listen to this cd daily on my way to work. Stirring! I am so glad that I purchased this. Some purists might have a problem with the fact that some of the selections are not there in their entirety. I have no problem with that though. I recommend this to anyone who loves Wagner.

Quintessential Wagner.......2006-05-15

Okay, so I like Wagner. I LOVE "Ride Of The Valkyries". Do I want to go out and buy every single stinkin thing Wagner did? No. If you are a die-hard Wagner fan you probably will not think much of this collection.

But if you like Wagner and appreciate "Ride Of The Valkyries", and maybe require it in just a little more substance than what is included in "Apocolypse Now Redux", then this is what you want. The extra tracks are bonuses and are quite good. Meets my needs, presentation great, performance excellent. I recommend it for anyone that needs a Wagner fix.

This is a delightful collection of music appropriate to meditative prayer. It is often my prayer companion, and I like the style and performance found on this CD. I highly recommend it to people who enjoy deeper reflection with a wordless musical background.

Be Thou My Vision.......2005-10-19

Track 3, Be Thou My Vision, was a surprise as the song was the final song played at my father's funeral. It set the closing mood most fittingly. While Be Thou My Vision is my favorite the entire collection is wonderfully mellow. I recommend it for for the mellow moods.

Reverent, beautiful.......2003-09-21

After criticizing Windham Hill in the past for often recycling the same songs over and over in various collections, I have to hand it to them with the new "Prayer" CD. It's a fine set of all-new acoustic versions of hymns or spiritual songs, plus a good number of original compositions. Producer Dawn Atkinson has done an excellent job of lining up a bunch of top-drawer people for "Prayer," and in working with the artists on the song selection.

Tchaikovsky and Tchai.......2006-07-17

I wondered what do Tchaikovsky and Tea have in common, and then I remembered that in many countries across the world - the word for tea is "tchai". That aside, yes, this is a refreshing blend of music, perfect for tea time - relaxing and reviving at the same time, and quite a bit dreamy.

Teatime...or otherwise........2005-11-02

I've owned this for years & play it often. It IS perfect for teatime, as it makes pleasant background music which you can talk over....but is also great w/volume up in car w/it's rambunctious side and incredible instrumentation. A really nice blend of Tchaikovsky's pieces.

Tchaikovsky's Dreamier Music: A Soothing Album.......2005-07-31

"Set your Life to Classical Music" is a fine album series that feature beautiful classical music for background music of any occasion- weddings, barbecues, breakfast, beauty sleep, bathtime, reading a book, romantic dinner, massages you name it. And indeed many classical pieces are perfectly therapeutic sessions in themselves. This album features the more intimate-sounding, soulful, sweet and relaxing tunes of Tchaikovsky. He did compose heavier and more dramatically intense music- his later symphonies, his Overtures and operas. But here we hear no Russian fire or harshness. Instead we are treated to the charming Mozartian style works of the Roccoco Variations and the Piano Trios. The disc also features the Andantino from his Piano Concerto No. 1 - and that piece is almost a Chopin Nocturne, with beautiful soft rubato and dream-like qualities. Included here is also the Pas De Deux and Odette and Siegfried theme from his ballet Swan Lake, lilting and graceful as the dancers movements themselves. The dance divertissements from Nutcracker round out the ballet segments with charming allure. The melancholy String Quartet and Serenade For Strings is here as well and not to mention the beautiful, wistful excerpts from the ballet Sleeping Beauty, his greatest ballet. The Panorama and Vision of Aurora played with delicate strings and sublime technicality. This is indeed a "refreshing blend for body and spirit" and is in fact perfect to listen to while drinking tea cosnidering you drink tea. I have tried it and believe me the experience is very soothing and refreshing. Try putting this on in your miniature CD player with headphones, then go out into an outdoor, natural environment, a park or a backyard garden or patio, and drink tea or read a book and you will find this is a fine companion.

Beautiful.......2003-08-25

One of the best aspects of Tchiakovsky's music is the ocnsistency: he just DIDN'T compose any bad pieces. And with such consistency, you can compile a CD such as this.
THis CD gives you a proper taste of Tchaikovsky's style, and is a very nice sampler of some of his most famous works. This CD lacks some of his more energetically volatile works, but it thus lives up to its title. It is extremely relaxing, and soothes you as you listen to it. The works are melodic, and the orchestras and soloists are superb, especially in the Serenade and the Rococco Variations. I highly recommend this CD for anyone, even if you aren't a huge classical music fan.

Tchaikovsky's Most Enchanting Tunes.......2000-08-19

Like the title suggest, a good companion for tea time. Or any time. The music of Peter Ilych Tchaikovsky is beautiful, lyrical and full of a grace and charm that parallels to Mozart's. A great collection of music by the legendary Russian composer. He had a gift for making music in a style that did not sway away from Russian folk music but that added a Classical perfection, or better yet a Romantic mastership. Who can forget the Sleeping Beauty suite. Here is the Panorama scene.. gorgeous music. I recommend the entire ballet score. The Nutcraker and Swan Lake are also here. The Piano concerto no. 1 in B, Andante Cantibile and so much more. I garauntee any listener satisfaction.

Double your pleasure.......2005-08-23

Back in the heyday of smooth jazz, this particular album brought it ALL together - pianist Bob James of "Taxi" fame and saxophonist David Sanborn, fresh off his "Change of Heart" triumph. Add singer Al Jarreau on the all-time classic, "Since I Fell For You," and this was all you heard in the mid-1980s. Think "Moonlighting" and David's appearances on Letterman's Late Night.
"Maputo" is still a staple in Sanborn's arsenal today when he performs in concert. It still draws a strong audience reaction.
"Double Vision" belongs in the Smooth Jazz Hall of Fame.

It was my begining to Jazz .......2004-11-02

This CD actually won the very first Soul Train award for best Jazz album and they actually performed It's You on stage with George Benson,George Duke, Paul Jackson Jr. Pinlino Decosta and I was hooked on the album ever since it is and will always be in my top five in my 350 collection of jazz cd's Sandborn has a style like know other when you here im blow you know it is him I have everything he has ever made in cassette and CD(I am kinda old) but I will tell anyone this is the first CD you should get and it will lead to much more

cheese.......2004-05-03

this recording is dripping with all kinds of cheese.
gut wrenchingly smooth saxophone, bossa nova beats, sickly vocals.
i am a fan of some of the musicians on this album, (sanborn played with miles at one time, and gadd has played on some great stuff we all know - steeley dan, chick corea etc) but together they produce some absolute schmaltz.
great as a 'California beach' set soft porn soundtrack, but lacking any edge or memorable hooks to hum along to.
what, you dont mind not having memorable hooks as long as there is dynamic musicianship and music for music's sake?
not the album for you either.
granted, maybe my criticism is due to the fact the album is 14 years old, but it still sounds very dated.

Wine drinking Cigar Smoking Mood Music.......2003-10-29

I can't say enough about this CD - as soon as the first strains of Maputo ooze out, I am transported to another world, as I sit outside watching the stars with my guy, a nice glass of wine and a good cigar. When I hear this CD - all I can think of is - Life is Good! Seriously, this CD is a must-have for the contemporary jazz enthusiast. Do yourself a favor and add it to you collection if you haven't already.

The single greatest CD ever made.......2003-10-15

I was just listening to this CD on the way to work for the umpteenth million time and thought I would take a look and see the other reviews for this CD. Granted this CD has been around since '86, this has been one of my most coveted and cherished of all my personal possessions here on planet Earth. To see that there are so few reviews for this CD strikes me odd. Though I'm glad to see that it scores out as a "5". I still don't think "5" does it any justice--it should something like "infinity". Does the lack of reviews mean that there are so many ill-informed people or just that everyone already knows what a terrific CD this is. Whatever the case may be let me just tell you that I would give my right AND left arm to just hear the songs that only made it to the studio floor. If these 7 were the only ones that made it to the CD, what other treasures might exist. Again, this is my most coveted of all jazz CD's. The musicianship is unbelievable, unreal and out of this world. If you haven't heard this CD before then perhaps you haven't really lived!

The Praise & Worship Songs of Richard Smallwood With Vision.......2007-03-08

I loved it.It was everything I imagined it would be.

NOT FOR THE FAINT AT HEART!!!.......2005-02-23

This compilation could not have been intended for those looking to be entertained. This dvd is a true worship dvd intended for the true worshipper. I didn't see much of the dvd due to the fact that I found myself closing my eyes, tilting my head back and lifting my hands to the Lord. My wife walked in from work and got caught up into my worship!!! I recommend this dvd to anyone who has any type of relationship with GOD ALMIGHTY!!! Get It. Get It. Get It.

The Best of..............2004-09-09

This cd features the best of all of Richard's songs....past and present. From "My Everything," to "Center of my Joy," THIS cd has it all!!!!!

Love Songs to God.......2004-07-22

If you Love the Lord and want to express/listen to that kind of love in song, you must get this CD. Richard Smallwood writes/produces and performs Love Songs to God. When you hear all your favorite Smallwood hits and enter into Praise with him, you will "enter his gates with Thanksgiving and enter his courts with Praise". Total Praise is my favorite, I am standing by the end of it everytime! Bless the Lord for Richard Smallwood and you'll be blessed by getting this CD!

Do not miss this masterpiece.......2007-03-08

If you like acoustic guitars then this is for you. There are three categories of people; guitar owners, guitar players and guitarists, and Nils definitely belongs to the last group. Also, the quality of the CD is superb. If you have never heard anything from Nils then this CD is a good starting point. A must!

Wonderful!.......2007-01-11

Have been a Nils fan since his work on "After the Goldrush". This is a fabulous album, extremely well recorded.

Nils Blazes Live.......2006-06-13

You is an outstanding opening to this wonderful collection of songs. Sticks and Stones continues with the great tunes. The next two songs give a bit of a rest before the fabulous Keith Don't Go, an ode to Keith Richards telling him not to go to where he was wanted for a pot bust. Wonderland and Big Tears Fall are excellent as the next two songs. The rest of the album is adequate with Man In The Moon and Mud In Your Eye by far being the best of the lot. All in all, an outstanding album.

Product Description

From the artist who brought us the award-winning CD, Scenic Listening, comes Wood's much anticipated second album, Sacred. Gregorian Chant and various ancient voices are artfully woven to channel the wisdom of the ages. Perfectly blended with beautiful piano and string melodies guided by energizing rhythms, Wood's music will take you to a place that is, above all . . . Sacred.

Soothing Music.......2007-05-12

I purchased two copies of this beautiful CD in March 2007. The chanting, both native American and Gregorian, is superb and the music is captivating and soothing. I took one copy to my lady in Russia in April 2007 so she can play it and it helps her to remember me until we are together again in July, then September, then December. And I can truly say this CD, especially song number five "In Search of Kindred Spirits", has helped bring us together. In Search of Kindred Spirits is OUR song, but you are welcome to buy a copy of the Sacred CD and listen to it and nine other nice songs. T.L.S.

P.S. [...] delivered this CD at a good price in a very timely manner, as usual for them.

Sacred by Kevin Wood.......2007-01-04

Sacred is a fantastic fusion of Native American music and Gregorian chant. Relaxing, inspirational and refreshing, this CD should be included in one's collection whether you're looking for background music or motivation.

Nourishes mind and spirit!.......2006-12-13

This album of highly original music sounds great on the first listening, yet becomes even more interesting on every succeeding play; you never know what's "around the next bend", but it always works. Like a kaleidoscope producing an ever-changing combination of patterns and colors, Kevin's layering of voices, instruments and "beat" makes the music sound fresh and new every time you listen. His knitting of Native American voices, Gregorian chant, electronica, wind instruments, an occasional keyboard carrying a singable melody, and even echoes of the English choral tradition evokes an all-inclusive spirituality with an underpinning of anticipation and exhilaration. A real masterpiece!

Spirtual Excellence.......2006-04-18

This CD is a must have! Better than Enigma or Enya. Very calming and meditative effects.

No Sophomore Slump Here!.......2005-06-22

I wondered how Wood would follow up "Scenic Listening", one of the best original new age CDs since its release in 2001. Like "SL", "Sacred" is beautifully relaxing but this time the spiritual underpinnings are more obvious. Wood blends ancient Gregorian and native American voices with modern textures / accompaniments, resulting in emotionally moving music unlike any other. Graceful, joyous, peaceful and wise, "Sacred" is a worthy successor to "SL". Check it out!
