Great Old-Time Mambo Orchestra.......2006-03-05

Wow, what a needed CD. I love the arrangement of the songs in the style of the mambo of the Palladium Ballroom. I especially liked the no. 7 song, Si Una Vez, for the great arrangement. The singing is great too. Another reviewer trashed it, which is unfortunate. These people are totally uknown and obviously do it for the sheer love of the music. I really wish I could see something like this in my area (Baton Rouge - New Orleans), but since my area is destroyed, nobody is coming here. Anyway, this recording is a blessing.

Amazing.......2005-04-05

This Cd by far should've won the grammy. Amazing arrangements by Angel Melendez. Great music that puts you in a great mood.

Grammy?.......2005-01-04

This Album sounds ok. A grammy nomination is kind of pushing it though. It sounds as if everyone was playing to something different. There is no "meshing" or blending going on. The voicings in the brass aren't the most pleasing to the ear and the phrasing isn't all that hot, but I guess it's kinda hard with so many horns. There is no drive present...No hard swing. The sound quality is the best thing this CD has to offer, thanx to the master engineer Jon Fausty. This CD sounds decent. It's better than some other stuff thats out there, but I wouldn't put it at the top of my list.

AWESOME Minus 1.......2004-07-18

This album is the best thing i have heard in years except for song number 7 the singer there just needs a little more originality, she reminds me of the same recycled stuff i've been trying to avoid the past few years but i can always just skip that song.

Awesome !.......2004-06-03

This is a great cd! Two thumbs up!

THIS is what we can call a great eurodance CD !!!.......2004-02-25

WOW !! This CD amazes me !! I LOVE IT !!! It's a must have for everyone who likes eurodance !! NO ONE will regret it. Fun Factory is definately one of the best eurodance bands ! Why not review everything and rate it ?

1. Celebration : A euro-reggae track, quite catchy, enjoyable and danceable. (3.5/5)
2. Don't Go Away : Similar to the previous track. I also can say that it's even better !! You'll like it, sure. (4/5)
3. Doh Wah Diddy : A great cover !!! A dance song. I haven't listened to the original, but I really enjoy this cover !! Similar to "Shimmy Shake" by 740 Boyz, I don't know how to call this but I like it very much ! (4.5/5)
4. I Wanna Be With U : Similar to "Don't Go Away" and "Celebration". Same thing : catchy euro-reggae track. (4/5)
5. I Love You : A ballad. This word means everything : horrible, slow, boring. Should never have been on this CD, and should never have been released as a single. (0/5)
6. Pain : After a horrible track, here comes a GREAT track !! Fast dance song, very good melody. Great, I LOVE IT ! (5/5)
7. Close To You : Without a doubt THE BEST TRACK ON THIS CD !!! Another great dance song, maybe you know it. This is the Trouble Mix, which is MUCH MUCH better than the radio mix. I LOVE IT TOO ! (5+/5)
8. Oh Yeah Yeah : This is maybe euro-reggae, but it has a dance beat. It's the best euro-reggae track on this CD. Very good !! (4.5/5)
9. Prove Your Love : GREAT !!! Another great dance song by this band. I LOVE IT, it's fast, amazing, what more can I say ? (5/5)
10. Love Of My Life : Nice euro-reggae track. Similar to "Don't Go Away", you'll like it if you like the other euro-reggae tracks on this CD. (4/5)
11. Groove Me : Another great dance song. It's one of their first singles, and I really enjoy this one ! This track is perhaps not the best of the CD, but it has much energy and it's excellent. (5/5)
12. Take Your Chance : A nice dance track, it's not my favourite but very good and enjoyable. (4.5/5)
13. Fun Factory's Theme : This is what we can call "eurotechno". It's not really dance, it's instrumental. It's quite enjoyable. (4/5)
14. We Are The World : The last track, similar to "Take Your Chance" : nice dance track that you will enjoy surely. (4.5/5)

Overall a great CD that you will enjoy if you like Eurodance, and also euro-reggae. It's worth the buy, give it a try !!!

Great 90's German EuroDance, Techno and Pop.......2004-02-16

This is a very nice collection of the best songs by this German Dance/Pop group, that I used to listen to a lot in the 90's. I think they only released 2 albums in the 90's, before putting this Greatest Hits collection, so it contains most of the songs form both of their albums.

Lyrics are very Simplistic, but whatever the lyrics miss, Melody Hooks compensate for. And melody hooks are Amazing, very Catchy tunes. I used to listen to them a lot in the mid 90's and still enjoy a listen (they had some of the best music back then), it all brings back many memories.

The songs have a female Singer with a Powerful Voice (Marie Annet), and great Rappers (Tony D and Smooth T). The Musical Genius/Composers behind this project were Toni Cottura and Bulent Aris. By the way, Aris and Cottura wrote a song for Backstreet Boys called "Get Down (You're the one for Me)" and Smooth T of Fun Factory was a guest rapper on that song (it was featured on BSB's first US album). Fun Factory also performed with BSB in Germany, before BSB hit it big in USA.

Aris/Cottura wrote all the songs on this Album, except the Horrible Cover "Doh Wah Diddy Diddy". This song is Horrible, and Fun Factory's cover did not help it. IMO Bad Choice of a Cover.

All other songs are Great and Original compositions . They range between:

Fast Eurodance/Techno with Male rap and Female Vocals (These are my Favorites):

"Pain" - Very Fast track, very catchy
"Take Your Chance" - Great Fast track, LOVE IT!!!
"Close to You" - Very Romantic and Fast EuroDance song. LOVE IT!
"Prove Your Love" - a Great Fast, Galloping, and Uplifting Song
"Groove Me" - also very fast and Energetic, with Hooky Melody
"We are the World" - Can't help but move to this.
"Fun Factory's theme" - an Instrumental EuroTechno track, Nice

Now there are also some nice Pop/Reggae songs, they are Dance, but Not very Fast. All Very catchy. These are:

"Celebration"
"I Wanna B with You"
"Love of My Life"
"Don't Go Away"
"Oh Yeah Yeah"

Now the CD also has One Beautiful Love Ballad, Very Slow, and very Romantic. It's called "I Love You", it has a Great Chorus, and a Slow Male Rap. Great Great Great song.

This is a Great CD to have if you like Dance, Techno, or Quality and Clean Rap music (Awesome Rap here). Or if you simply want to listen to Catchy and Upbeat Pop songs. whatever you like, this CD will definitely touch you in some way or other.

Thank You Very Much, and I hope you Enjoy this CD, and have Fun :)

Dancefloor Classix.......2003-07-15

Although you can find various original/remixed Fun Factory cuts on every serious dance/d.j. compilation from the mid-90s, this compilation cuts through the hassle and gives the buyer exactly what he/she is looking for.

"Close To You", "Pain", "I Wanna Dance With U" became their main staples, and anybody who loves the days of anthemic techno gone by will need to own these as well as Real McCoy's "Another Night" album.

Featuring their best song.........2003-07-01

..."I Wanna B With U" is a very fun song you can dance to. I love that they had Marie-Anett as the main vocals of the song. Rod D., Smooth T, and Steve along with Marie-Anett make a great combination when it comes to great dance music.

Fun Factory really are fun!.......1999-11-09

I like Fun Factory mainly because they combine rap, singing, and techno music all into one. This is a great combination for dance music fans. People who like this album should buy 2 Unlimited, Vengaboys, and La Bouche.

Hymns in the Anglican Tradition Beautifully Performed.......2007-01-24

This is one more example of hymns in the Anglican Tradition, sung by the always excellent choir of King's College, Cambridge. It is a splendid example of the sonorous sound of men and boys, accompanied by a classic English organ and, for the quieter hymns, the gentle sound of harp. All the familiar hymns and hymn tunes are here. You will not regret adding this CD to your collection.

Very inspiring music.......2005-07-06

I always enjoy listening to this Cd and particularly because of the orchestra and mellifluous choir. I especially enjoy: A Mighty Fortress, Come Down, O Love Divine, Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, and Thine Be The Glory. Some of the selections are soft such as "The Lord's My Shepherd" and "Drop, Drop, Slow Tears." Still, it is a fabulous selection and one of my favorites.

Great English Hymns.......2005-02-10

This was one of my Christmas gifts and I really looked forward to listening to it. I had just visited King's College, Cambridge back in August and really liked it--you should try to make it out there if possible.

Anyway, this CD was great to listen to. Some hymns are scored for orchestral accompaniment, choir and organ, while the majority of tracks are just for choir and organ.

Recorded in the King's College Chapel (the front cover has a great shot of the ceiling's trademark "fan" stone carving), the hymns are pure English sound--boys' treble voices along with men's changed voices singing with a pure, clean, straight tone. It's very sweet-sounding.

The hymns chosen are also great; "Be Thou My Vision," an Irish classic, appears along with "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," "All People That on Earth Do Dwell," and "Morning Has Broken" (later recorded by Cat Stevens).

The singing isn't especially elaborate--they're just simple hymns. They're orchestrated very well, however, and they sound great.

Religious people may prefer these recordings more in general--these are Christian hymns after all--but I think it's a great recording and is worth listening too, especially if you enjoy that English sound!

Buy this CD!.......2004-09-20

Having heard Kings College Choir twice, in the flesh, at Kings, this CD is a wonderful example of what you might hear. If you can't make it to Cambridge, buy this CD. It contains many of the old favorites and also some hymns that are not found on other English hymn CD's.

English Choirs.......2002-12-18

Having visited many Cathedrals throughout the UK and listened to the enchanting voices of the boys choirs, I was disappointed with this particular rendering from Kings. Perhaps I am biased in that I enjoy the organ background or no background but the use of a full blown orchestra, in my opinion, tended to overwhelm and was totally unnecessary and somewhat grandoise choice on the part of Stephen Cleobury. Apart from that, much of the music was excellent. In comparison with other CD's from Kings, this was disappointing.

hayden, in a forest of sound.......2006-11-15

I will admit, before I write this reveiw that I am a Hayden fan. Something about his music stirs my soul. It could be the simple, yet complex songs. It could be the beautiful, but sad songs he often writes. Hayden is an artist full of contridictions, his voice is scratchy and raw, and really not even that good, yet it fits his music perfectly.

As usual this album is warm. It reminds me of a flanel shirt you put on on a cold, crisp day as you warm up next to the hearth. The recording is good, and this is a live album, so it is not studio tight, but I think that is the point. It is a raw sound, that is often apparent in his studio releases, but here it shines through in all its striped-down glory. It is intimate and you can almost feel his breath in the microphone.

If you are a Hayden fan, I recomend this album. It has a collection of songs from all his previous albums and some tracks that are not easy to get in the states. It is a two disc album, and it would add alot to any music fans library. I hope this helped, and you find great pleasure in this artist's latest release.

A truly memorable live album!.......2003-10-22

Hayden's 2-cd live album is, for the most part, simply breathtaking. As well as showcasing some of his best songs (Middle of July, Between Us to Hold, Stem, etc) it captures some cute and funny moments of singer-audience banter. I was at this concert and loved it, and now I have this album to keep forever. I highly recommend it!

live, breathe music.......2002-12-28

this is a great, great album. I'm so happy he put out a live album. I seen him live last year in Detroit and met him, cool guy. I was a fan before that concert so I was excited to see him. If you don't feel like getting his older stuff, which i HIGHLY recommend, get this. bob dylan, leanord cohen, hayden. another musician that has talent,no, a gift. just him, his guitar, piano and harmonica.

intimate and stirring performance.......2002-11-26

When I first listened to this album I realized just how many great songs Hayden has written. It plays out like a greatest hits CD of his 7 years+ musical career. He is such a strong performer and the recording is intimate. And his in-between song bantor is hilarious. It's beautifully packaged in a foldout digipack and includes a booklet of lyrics with photos. Recommended for all fans of this remarkable songwriter/performer.

A Good, Poppy Punk Record.......2007-02-14

Normally I would give this four stars, but I am giving it five because this band deserves better than the limited exposure they get, and secondly because not all the reviewers below have given this CD justice. I bought Useless ID's last CD "No Vacation From the World" and found this newer release "Redemption" to be an improvement. It's a bit poppier, but on the other hand, the song "Pink Stars and Magazines" was one of the best punk songs to be released in 2005. Also noteworthy is the opening track (which starts out almost identical to the Goo Goo Dolls "Slide" then builds up to a pop-punk chorus. Another winner is the track "Suffer For the Fame," which shows the group branching out into new territory without selling out via a big dark gothic opera (Like Good Charlotte and Blink 182 have done.) Also catchy is "Turn Up the Stereo," very similar to the Ataris "Radio #2." There are a few duds, particularly towards the end of the album (ironically the same thing dragged down their previous album a bit as well) and the track "Before I Go" sounds like it was taken right out of the Weezer playbook, but all in all, quite a good time. The album gets a positive vibe going, unlike the dark gothic all-too-serious "new mature sound" that many of these bands have adopted lately. Kudos to Useless I.D. for making another winner and giving the fans the kind of music THEY want to hear. If you're lookin for some catchy pop-punk similar to Allister's "Last Stop Suburbia" or Sugarcult's "Start Static" then look no further.

Tisk tisk..........2007-02-07

I don't know what happened to Useless ID between the release of Bad Story Happy Ending and this abomination, but whatever it was it wasn't good.

The pride of Hafia Israel, Useless ID, used to be a good punk band with poppy components. With this cd, it's obvious that they've become a pop band with (presumably) punk hair cuts. If you liked Let it Burn or Bad Story Happy Ending, do not buy this cd.

i love this cd.......2006-04-23

i heard of this cd from a co worker who plays it all the time and now its one of my favorite cds, my favorite song is turn up the stereo.

Useless ID-Israeli Punk.......2005-12-11

I only found out about Useless ID in August 05. I listened to a sample of it and loved it. Then, i bought the cd, Redemption. I still cannot believe that they are Israeli! At least that's what i've heard. I think the drummer is crazy in a good way on this whole cd. The guitars are cool, too. The lyrics are great, too. So i will do a review(by the way, i wrote the review for Slipknot + 2 if you're who i am):

1.Its allright - very cool song. Its amazing. this was the song i heard a sample of when i heard it. Even then, it was like green day. Great.
2.Kiss me/Kill me - This is a great song. i like how in the chorus the chord progression changes completely. Yes.
3.Pink stars and magazines - this is the latest "issue" of great punk songs. I love the lyrics the most. It great.
4.Deny it - This is the only song that BORES me a little. the lyrics could be a bit better and so the druming as well. 1/2 and 1/2.
5.Suffer for the fame - my absolute favorite on the whole cd. first it starts out with jazzy type music and goes into a jimi hendrix vresion one of beethovens symphonys. then it just goes into the song. but i'd still say that its great. Excitment and all. i like how at the end its kind of like a Slipknot chorus and it goes, "I!!!! don't want it in my world........" An amazing one.
6.Turn up the stereo - good song. it even does feel like i want to turn up the stereo. its great song.
7. Before i go - i think its an amazing song. 1. because my friends and me are making a movie and its about exploring and this song might be the opening credits. 2. the lyrics and vocal styling are one of the best on the cd.
8. Dying Love- its a great song. just BORES me a little. Pretty good, tho.
9.Drinkage-good song. the lyrics are pretty good. the drumming is too.
10.Everything turned red - my second favorite on the cd. really good and cool. i like when the song ends where it goes "Everything turned red the first time i saw you" over and cver again and it seems like it never stops.
11.State of fear - my third favorite on the cd. it is a great song. all i have to say.
12. Redemption - my fourth favorite. i love it, tho. its really cool, the lyrics, the percussion, and the guitars and the bass are really good in this one. great closing track.

All in all, i really love this cd and it is a must by for those who like Jimi Hendrix, green day, and Ozzy, and Slipknot. This is still an Israeli punk band. i stil can't believe they are isreali! they sing in english,tho.

another good pop-punk band.......2005-08-27

This band is pretty good. They are kinda like new found glory and a little bit of simple plan mixed in. Their beats and lyrics are completely awesome and whenever you listen to it you get pumped up. I'd reccomend this cd along with their other cd no vacation from the world.

Amazon.com

Originally recorded between 1964 and 1985, this generous 2-CD compilation ranges from carols dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries to timeless, mostly traditional popular favorites. The arrangers include such eminent composers as Vaughan Williams, Gustav and Imogene Holst, Arthur Sullivan, Peter Cornelius, and Felix Mendelssohn, as well as the Choir's own Directors, David Wilcocks and Philip Ledger. The 50 carols are carefully chosen for maximum contrast of tempo, mood and character; the settings, too, endeavor to create variety of texture and dynamics between the often numerous verses by alternately using solos and choruses, male, female and combined voices, creating cumulative build-ups, and adding a descant to the final strophe. However, even all these techniques and devices tend to become predictable, so it may be advisable to enjoy the program in judicious doses. Among these riches, listeners will find their own favorites, but it may be worth noting that "Silent Night" appears twice, once in English and once in German, and that two of the most famous carols--"O come, all ye faithful" and "Hark! The herald angels sing"--are accompanied by a very loud brass band playing fanfares with incongruous, "up-dated" harmonies--the only false note in the program. By contrast, the organ, employed in several introductions, as well as to provide powerful chordal support and all kinds of tinkling, bell-like effects never seems out of style or character. The singing is splendid. Basically "white," without vibrato, the sound has a wonderfully pure, truly celestial quality, but can rise to full, rich, ringing sonorities in the climaxes. Intonation, balance and ensemble are impeccable, the soloists are excellent. The reverberant acoustics of the Chapel of King's College, where the recordings were made, cushion the voices without obscuring the clarity of the lines. --Edith Eisler

CD 1 WRONG MUSIC.......2004-12-31

I was very disappointed when I listened to CD 1 and realised it was club music.Having now read the other review I don't think I will get satisfaction,therefore I cannot rate this item properly.

CD 1 Wrong Music.......2004-12-21

I put the CD in and was met by club music, I thought maybe it was some strange take on "Morning in the City of David" nope, the CD had been burned with the wrong image. I sent it back and received a new copy, it had the same issue. I listened to the second CD and loved ever moment of it, but until EMI/Amazon can rectify this issue, I cannot fairly rate it.
