These tracks skip through ambient, idm, and dub without losing the ethereal melodic sensibilities that have become a signature of the Bluetech sound. 6 new tracks of digital bliss from Bluetech, plus a gorgeous remix of the classic 'Prayers For Rain' track from Israeli mastermind J. VIEWZ.

5 out of 5 stars Sensual Sonic Voyage.......2007-01-19

Intriguing textures melt together into a fusion of mind massaging sensuality. The first track builds slowly and playfully introduces new elements at what seems to be a perfect pace with lots of tempo changes to excite the mind.

The warm soothing textures create a place to relax, but it is the musical temptations (intricacies) that make this exciting. This album offers a variety of moods from dub to ambient escapes, yet all seem to capture a silky sensuality that is very inviting.

I will say that "Worthy" has a deep spirituality and seems
to melt this album into a prayer.

~The Rebecca Review

5 out of 5 stars Intricate, pleasing and devoid of throw-away tracks.......2006-06-22

And yet Alchemie Dub and Prayers For Rain tower over the rest. Rarely do I find tracks that continue to resonate differently and that inspire with each play, day after day, year upon year. Prayers For Rain: meandering, strained melody (you could say thirsty for release and continuity) builds to just that - a sudden reversal... you might imagine rain finally pouring on a parched desert. Listen to the samples! And then click buy, lest a little piece of your soul whither away and die.

Album Description

THE END build their striking abilities and unique vision to astonishing new heights on its brand-new album Elementary. An incredible listen, Elementary sees THE END find its own unique voice; balancing world-class musicianship with fiery songs that bare the soul and expose the essence of what it means to be real/human. The impassioned vocals of Aaron Wolf lead a stunning ten-song charge of heavy music as expansive as it is expressive, as moving as it is memorable, and immediate in its impact on all within earshot. Awe-inspiring songs like 'The Never Ever Aftermath', 'Throwing Stones', 'Animals', and 'In Distress' look deep into the heart of human experience and emotion, burning with a passion seldom heard in modern music. Simply stated, Elementary is a monumental record; one of the best you will ever hear. Meet your new favorite band; THE END has arrived!

5 out of 5 stars It's different, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.......2007-04-07

These reviews are incredibly harsh. This is a fantastic album. It's an amazing blend of very difficult to master styles and all of them are done perfectly. The ambient sections are never too long or boring like so many sub-popular bands these days... the emo part is never annoyingly off-key or overly self-indulgent. the lyrics are heartfelt and interesting.

the problem these people seem to have with it is that it doesn't sound the same as their last albums (which, i agree, were great), but they can't make the same album every time, it would be pointless. maybe the next album they'll go back and make their first album again and everyone will be happy. also, this album could be accessible enough to bring a whole new audience to grind, ambient, and metalcore. is it better than their other albums? i don't know. all i know is that it's different, and it's good.

in the end, it's just a bunch of very talented, inspired guys making beautiful music.

2 out of 5 stars The End shed all their technical proficiency and decided to be an ambient emo band........2007-03-17

In a nutshell, The End shed all their technical proficiency and decided to be an ambient emo band. For emo, its really good music. But coming from their beginnings, this is a severe disappointment. When Transfer Trachea Reverberations From Point: False Omniscient, it was one of the most awesome recordings of that style for the time. Within Dividia was a step down, but still was gratifying. Elementary is such a turn for the worst, I don't know how it can be justified. For an extreme band, this deserves no listening or stars at all. For an emo band, this is better than the eye-liner boys. But if that were the direction they wanted to go, they should have changed their name.

2 out of 5 stars 2 stars is extremely generous.......2007-02-27

'Elementary' may be a lot of things: more straightforward, more 'song-oriented,' more radio-friendly, etc. But it is not representative of The End, who were, until this album, one of the most original and unique bands in extreme music. The band's first EP, 'Transfer Trachea Reverberations From Point: False Omnicient,' is one of the most stunning debuts ever, and their first full-length, 'Within Dividia,' melded the band's musical complexity with just the right amount of texture and atmosphere.

'Elementary,' unfortunately, sounds like a completely different band, and that is not a good thing, because The End once sounded like themselves, and now they sound just like every other hardcore/emo act in existence. Indeed, if you had never heard the band before, and you listened to their first album, and then listened to 'Elementary,' you would have no idea it was the same band.

Now, I am all for a band maturing and growing, but this album is an extreme regression. What's wrong with staying true to your original sound? There was a time when you could not pinpoint direct influences for this band, except maybe Dillinger Escape Plan (and this comparison has always been a big, big stretch). Now, you can hear a little bit of Tool, a little bit of Meshuggah, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, until what's left is a band with no distinct identity. If I want to hear these other bands, I will listen to them.

I cannot overstate enough how generic the music on 'Elementary' is compared to their old stuff. All of these songs could easily be played on MTV or modern-rock radio. I'm not saying it's absolutely terrible (although some of it is); there are some memorably catchy moments on the album. Probably the best song on here is 'Animals,' which starts out as a heavier, more straightforward version of music on 'Within Dividia.' The middle section is a mid-tempo, melodic section that is repetitive but catchy. 'Awake' is the only song that even sounds anything like 'Within Dividia,' and it seems thrown in just to please old fans, and to prevent the listener from nodding off.

Why does this sort of thing happen to bands? It's like they took 'songwriting' lessons in order to gain more mass appeal. Nobody listens to The End to hear heartfelt ballads and emo vocals. People listen to The End because they are incredible, virtuoso musicians who write music that buzzes with energy and excitement, which, unfortunately, you will not find much of on 'Elementary.'

5 out of 5 stars Elementary is superb!.......2007-02-15

Ill keep it short. If you like Tool, Oceansize, Khoma, Mastodon, Isis, APC etc I really think you can find things on this record that you will really dig! I like most of the above mentioned bands, especially Tool, and this record is a favourite for my top 5 of 2007 and its only feb...:-) Combining crushing riffs, really cool rhythms, melodies, build-ups, different vocal styles (i think Aaron Wolff has a really good voice both his superb "screams" and his melodic style. I can put on this record and don't skip tracks because it's so good and that is very uncommon for me!

Give this album a couple of listens before you decides if you like it or not, because it REALLY grows on you!!!

Standout tracks: most of them but listen to these and if you don't like them you probably won't like the rest so much either - "The Never Ever Aftermath", "Animals", "A fell wind", "Throwing stones" and the really slow but extremely beautiful "And Always..."

4 out of 5 stars If tech metal band The End are trying to confuse us all once again, They succeeded in an unfortunate manner.......2007-02-12

First things first; If you are planning on buying something from this band, DO NOT GET THIS ALBUM FIRST!!! This is not The End you want to know first. I was really looking forward to this release because I thought it was going to be something worth buying for once in a long while. Considering their past resume of music writing quality and ability, I was hoping this would be a total departure from anything even close to the monstrous two former albums. This they did. They just went the wrong direction.

This album eludes me completely. Is is The End's answer to Opeth's Deliverance, is this the way they are trying to confuse us. Tech metal is supposed to be thought provoking and quite confusing. This album was both, but not in a musical sense that most people that listen to this type of music are used to. First off, there is way too much groove to make this anything close to Tech Metal. Second, too much acoustic playing, singing, and melodic content for is to be tech metal. This is what you get when you take an old album by The End, slow it down, and change every groove to some random time signature over 4 (?/4). This album IS confusing in the sense that it isn't Tech Metal at all, and a total musical REgression from anything written by them in the past. The album itself sounds great, in the recording and production sense of it. This is a decent album. It is NOT, however, The End. It is more of a statement that since metal is starting to re-emerge out of obscurity(?), and scene kid teens are buying more crap than quality, that The End wants to dip its own hand into that cookie jar. Take this album for what it is. Listen to it and create the most un-biased opinion of it that you can, and move on. Definitely not the masterpiece this band is capable of. if you are about to buy an album by this band for the first time, I suggest Transfer Trachea. I do suggest buying this album, but not before buying one of the other albums first.

This 1972 disc, the first of three he made for Tomato Records, proudly brings Doc Watson's country roots to the fore. Recorded in Nashville and produced by renowned country producer Jack Clement, Elementary offers mostly understated renditions of songs by artists such as Jimmie Rodgers, Merle Travis, and Eddy Arnold. Meanwhile, traditional tunes like "Going Down the Road Feeling Bad," "Freight Train Boogie," "More Pretty Girls Than One," and "Worried Blues," plus Tom Paxton's "The Last Thing on My Mind," are all folk songs that have long histories in the country music canon. For the most part, Watson reins in his fiery flat-picking, opting for warmth and intimacy over instrumental firepower, with son Merle (on guitar and banjo), fiddler Vassar Clements, and Dobro player Norman Blake sitting in. Watson has built his esteemed reputation by bridging concepts of country, folk, and bluegrass, reminding us all along that, in a musical sense, these terms are rather arbitrary in nature anyway. --Marc Greilsamer

Album Description

3 out of 5 stars Some good songs, but lots of inaccuracies.......2006-07-11

My review is only about the lyrics on the CD; the music has a grungy garage band sound. To each his own; maybe the kids will like the music.

I'm going to try using this occasionally in my classroom for reviewing some Social Studies lessons. I think the students (ages 8 and 9) will enjoy the music. The lyrics are great, pretty much on target; only a few notable mistakes or misconceptions:

1. In "National Anthem" the printed lyrics correctly mention the War of 1812, but the singer says Revolutionary War (oops).

2. The second stanza of "Civil War" makes it sound as if Lincoln's issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation STARTED the war!! Nope, the E. P. was issued in 1863, and it freed only the slaves in the Union (as we all know). Most historians think it was issued only to allow black soldiers to fight for the Union; it was also the first time the war had actually been linked to slavery (the war was a failed Southern revolution). And oh my, to refer to Reconstruction as a time when the states all worked together again...oh my, someone skipped History class to practice guitar chords I guess. Eek, those are pretty egregious mistakes - I don't plan to use that song at all!

3. In "Grew to the West" the song refers to the Louisiana purchase. The lyrics say France sold the land, but Napoleon actually sold only France's CLAIM to the land west of the Mississippi (not the same thing at all). Also, the song mentions buffalo, but of course we didn't have buffalo, we had BISONS.

4. In "Symbols of America" the words say the Liberty Bell hasn't RANG since 1835 (should be RUNG).

OK, so I am a teacher and I notice these things because I will have to skip them or teach around them. The rest of the CD has some good words for the kids to hear.

5 out of 5 stars Just keeps getting better and better!.......2001-10-22

Cindy Morgan never ceases to amaze me! I would say that this album is the best, but, then again, every album of hers is the best. 'Elementary' proves, yet again, that Ms. Morgan is not about conforming or even about pop culture. All she knows is her music and her heart, and she delivers a little bit more of both with each new recording. As the wise man once said, she really is "a breath of fresh air". In a day when so much of the music sounds like mass production off of a conveyor belt, 'Elementary' has reminded me of what music really is. Every song on this album is completely original, and like nothing I've ever heard before. She's taken music to realms I didn't even know existed. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful!

5 out of 5 stars The BEST!.......2001-09-16

Cindy Morgan is one of those artists that continues to amaze me with every album she records. Hands down, one of the best songwriters in the industry (she's written for Rachael Lampa, Michael English, Sandi Patty, and Michelle Tumes to name a few), she manages to touch on issues such as fear, pain, and human insecurity that no one else really has the guts to tackle. However, with her latest album, we see a different Cindy. We see a joyful, happy and "glad to be alive" Cindy. Honestly, when I first heard that the album was going to be much lighter, and not so serious, I was very disappointed. Listen and The Loving Kind were absolute masterpieces and were very dark albums. However, upon listening to the album, I remembered why Cindy Morgan is one of the most respected artists in the industry. She managed to sing these fluffy songs without the fluff that one might expect. She wrote these fluffy songs with as much anti-fluff as possible. Songs like "Sunshine", "Happy", "Good Thing" and "I Love You" come off as being lyrical masterpeices, despite their subject matter. Cindy is also heavily experimenting with some different sounds on this album, which she co-produced with Brent Bourgeois. Did I mention that? She covers sounds from piano based pop ("The World Needs Your Love") to 1960's lounge music ("Believe") to 1970's latin infused pop ("New World") to jazz ("Love is Waiting") to modern pop/electronica ("Good Thing") and even 1920's flapper music ("I Love You"). What's so funny is that Cindy pulls them all off with such ease and clarity. Fans of her stark piano ballads shouldn't get too upset, "Love Can" and "In These Rooms" are truly Cindy and probably the best songs on the album. I applaud Word Records for letting Cindy take such risks and allowing her to create probably the best album I've heard all year, and trust me, I've heard a lot of music this year.

5 out of 5 stars More "Listen"-able than "Loving Kind".......2001-09-08

After her disappointing "Best So Far" album that included too many earlier works, this new album seems to blend the sounds from her last two studio albums into a unique sounding collection. Different, yet the same. The same piano driven sound is there but there is more orchestation behind the tracks, from the Latin tinged sounds of "New World" to string and jazzy/bluesy brass arrangements on many of the tracks. I liked Brent Bourgeois's liner comment thanking Cindy for "a much needed breath of fresh air". Cindy is trying a lot of different sounds and styles and having a lot of fun here. More "pop" sounding than "Loving Kind", yet not as edgy as "Listen" and more mellow and upbeat, it shows Cindy Morgan as she continues to mature as a songwriter and a vocalist. Not as strong overall as "Listen" it still stands out amongst much of CCM pop which often seems to sound the same.

My 2-year-old son, my neighbor's 6-year-old daughter and my 9-year-old stepson all LOVE this CD! The older kids play some of the songs over and over, and my 2-year-old just loves to bounce up and down on his bed listening to the CD. I can't believe kids wrote these songs, but on the other hand that may be why they're so fun for kids to listen to. The production is just stellar.

I am Brian "BJ" Ross. I am really pleased with how well this CD turned out. One cool thing about this CD is that I am on it. I love it. The music is of a huge variety of genres. My particular favorite song on the CD is "We Lost the Fight Song" It has catchy words, and the High-School band did a beyond-excellent job on the instruments. Virtually everything about this CD blew me away.I know most of the musicians, and I (as I mentioned earlier) sing various parts of this CD. I hope (1) everybody loves this CD, and (2) more communities collaborate, in great projects like that. WARNING: 4/19 of the songs are bluegrass. I think that should be known by any potential buyers who don't like bluegrass.

5 out of 5 stars great album for parents and kids.......2001-12-15

I have found in this Tidal Wave of Song a cd of songs that are my songs, too. Kids and adults - we are all singing together. I wish more music - all music will be like this - full of spirit that knows no limits of age or imagination.

5 out of 5 stars Wow! What a blast!!.......2001-12-12

This amazing kids'CD covers so many great styles of music, from electronica to folk to jazz. The songs are so creative and catchy, you'll find yourself singing things like "I like to eat purple pickled peppers" in no time at all. I know its supposed to be for kids, but I'm 33 and its a hit with me too!

I bought it because it was inexpensive, however I dont even think I got what I paid for. Ekkk I would not recommend purchasing this or any music from this recording label Kids Direct.

    4 out of 5 stars A good collection.......2002-03-27

    I have always been a fan of the Sherlock Holmes books, but the films and TV shows have never impressed me. (Except for the originals starring Nigel Bruce and Basil Rathborne.) However, I loved most of the music on this CD, especially the Victorian sounding piece from "A Study in Terror". I also enjoyed the song "I Never Do Anything Twice". (OK, its very blunt, but the tune is original, and I was humming the song for days after I first heard it!) I recommed this album to any Holmes fans, or anyone who likes unusual soundtracks.

    4 out of 5 stars Great music to accompany your favorite detective stories!.......2001-09-13

    I'm going to say this upfront because I wish I had known it before purchasing this cd. The music on this cd is not original. In other words, a single orchestra has redone the selected pieces. For the most part, they are loyal to the originals - however, there is a difference between what you've heard in these programs or films and what is on this cd. The Granada piece, which I was most excited about, did use an annoying bass drum which, in my opinion, was a bit over the line (a bit too much of a "rock" feel, if you will), but it is very brief and used in a musical bridge. The violin part is intact and impressive.

    The Young Sherlock Holmes suite is nearer the original film score than anything on the cd and is very enjoyable. I could have done without the Sondheim vocal piece all together as it breaks the instrumental flow and feeling. The "aztec flute" piece (from the Woman in Green I believe) that is visted three times is slightly annoying - particularly since it is very short in a couple of places and again, interrupts the flow of the album.

    Surprisingly, I will say that overall, I'm pleased as a Sherlock Holmes fan and happy to add the album to my Holmes collection. It will make superb reading music when I pull out my Holmes books again this fall - granted, I may put the vocal piece on skip. However, I'm am more anxious to own the TV soundtrack to the Granada/Jeremy Brett show - as, I suspect, it is probably the superior album.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Collection of Pieces from Many Sources.......2001-06-01

    This is an excellent compilation of music from various Sherlock Holmes movies, with the addition of music from the Granada TV series that starred the late Jeremy Brett. The excerpts are really very enjoyable,and cover films from the 1930s onward, so represent a mix of film music styles. Particular favorites of mine are the music from "Young Sherlock Holmes" (when is this going to be on DVD??) and a suite from the underrated Billy Wilder film "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes." The latter derives from a gorgeous violin concerto by Milos Rozsa, which seems to be appropriate for our violin playing detective. An item some people may like is the Stephen Sondheim song "I Never Do Anything Twice," heard here with its full set of lyrics.

    All of the music is very well played (and the one sung well sung) in this well-filled CD. It is definitely a treat if like Sherlock Holmes and have seen any of the movies for which the music was written or the Granada TV series.

    5 out of 5 stars Superb, otherwise unavailable music.......2000-01-17

    This is a soundtrack that no lover of good film scores should be without. Virtually none of the music is otherwise available. Thanks to Sherlock Holmes' affinity for the violin, much of the music here features that instrument prominently. None of the cues disappoint.

    There are two cues from the Granada TV series (which ran on PBS from the mid-80s to mid-90s, starring Jeremy Brett). Patrick Gowers' music is available on a CD collection, but this is out of print and becoming increasingly difficult to find.

    Similarly, the score excerpts from The Seven Percent Solution (Addison) and A Study in Terror (Scott) are lovely, lyrical, and melancholy. Ditto for Young Sherlock Holmes (Broughton) -- it is a crying shame that this wonderful score is not available on CD, but this cue is an excellent gloss on the best themes of the score.

    I am also fond of the suite from The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (Rozsa); though the score is derived from Rozsa's violin concerto (which exists on a very fine coupling featuring Jascha Heifetz, with the Korngold violin concerto, and Waxman's Carmen Fantasie), it is different enough to be worth hearing on its own.

    The other cues are also worthwhile listening. The interruption of the Sondheim song midway through the tracks is something of an annoyance (even though I like the song itself); given that it was available elsewhere it seemed sort of pointless to include it in this collection, which is otherwise all-orchestral.

    Highly recommended.
