Terrible!.......2007-05-29
This band is so rediculous. they are basicly the goth version of The Backstreet Boys. The music on thois album is hardley satnic...hardley has anything to do with a "fallen" angel of any sort. Only the title of the album is good...the music is not.
One good song.......2006-02-27
Rematered early CXS album. OK, but nothing too exciting. Marilyn My Bitterness is an excellent tune, but ends up being the only decent one on the CD.
definitely $$$ well spent!.......2004-07-14
I own the original release of this album, which is quite an extraordinary collection of telemetries and melodies, but the sound quality of the old version was not quite as good as I'd wished for. This new version of the album is great, the sound quality is very sharp and clear, and makes the songs all that much more fun to dance to. "Walk Away" is all that much more haunting. There are also a few little extras on the CD... a music video, and a flash gallery of ancient band pics! New life has been breathed into an already amazing album!

Customer Reviews:
Gone, But Not Forgotten.......2006-07-27
I had the privelige of seeing Starz when they were first on the rise. A beautiful pre-spring day in March 1977,'Cherry Baby' was starting to get noticed, and I had third row seats to Starz as the opening band to Bob Seger on the 'Night Moves' tour. Starz came on at 8:00, opening with 'Violation' blew our minds, eyes and ears for the next hour and a half,and I feel they could have kept going if not for the fact that drummer Joe Dube collapsed on his drums and had to be carried off the stage in what was the only disappointing moment of the evening. This band had something that most people were not able to fully appreciate....THEY CAME TO ROCK!!!!! No fancy light shows or special effects, just being great for who they were and how they sounded---a band that was not given the time or attention they deserved.
A Blast From the Past.......2002-01-16
I have been raised on rock. When Starz came out in the mid 70's, it was a breath of fresh air. These boys rock. For anybody who doesn't really knows this band, the have the ... to roll a 4 track recorder with them and record their live show, then put it out as an album. That takes guts. This album represents some of their finer songs. Although there really isn't any song they have done I have disliked... Get the CD and see for yourself. "GOTTA ROCK 6 TIMES ALRIGHT!
live with styx and frampton.......2001-03-22
I saw Starz live with Styx and Peter Frampton a few months before Frampton made it big in the mid-70s. I hoped that Starz would make it big, but Styx made it bigger. Oh well, anyway its a pleasant high school memory from the 70s.
Starz Rocks Live..The Old Fashioned Way..........2000-10-05
This CD is a great compilation of Starz early rock tunes...Pull The Plug is a mesmorizing live tune, much like Cheap Trick's "Need Your Love". Boys In Action, Subway Terror, Live Wire, Cherry Baby and the rest are solid amped rockers that make this one terrific purchase! For even more, the "Brightest Starz Anthology" has all the great material from the studio, that rocks every bit as much as the live CD (Amazon just delivered mine today...It's now available) If you're a fan, buy these CDs. If you like to rock... these deliver! SJ from So. Cal.
Starz Rocks Live, and finally on CD!.......2000-09-30
After recording my albums to cassette, I thought I'd never be able to hear Starz on CD. This CD has top quality sound, and the song selections are excellent. These underated rockers deserve to be heard. When the anthology CD is available, I will be at the head of the line. Great memories have been rekindled thanks to this CD. If you like rock at it's roots, buy this CD!

.
Of over 600 songs, Fischer-Dieskau and Gerald Moore realized over three-quarters: these are those. Gerald Moore was of course as important to this project as Fischer-Dieskau.
DGG's sound is excellent.
This set is a remarkable document of art.

Great, but no prize.......2002-03-31
The selections from the Ring trilogy, Friends in need and Fallen Angel were excellent, however, some of the special request such as joxer the mighty, seemed a little bit rushed. Wasn't that song on Volume 2 already? Where was M'Lila's song from Destiny, or the music played During the first Kiss in "The Quest"
The cd has its good points, personally "It's Over" from "THAB" with its haunting melodies portraying the consequences of war.
Xena;Warrior Princess volume six.......2002-01-09
I am so happy that the last and final cd has come out, now my collection is complete. I am very sad for the show ending, but I am glad to still collect things.
Great Collection.......2001-12-25
Well, I have them all by now, but this last one is a great collection, with the added bonus of the music from A Friend In Need.
Just another fine addition to my Xena collection!
Exceptional.......2001-11-30
I am a fanatic and devoted Xenite.I have a huge problem:i can't stop listening to that cd,since the first time i listened to it,which means 1 month!That cd is really exceptional and i think that every true and genuine Xenite should buy it!It's really good!I was moved when i heard the Fallen Angel part.I was passioned when i heard the Ring Trilogy!I was astonishing when i heard the bonus cues that were included,especially the cue from The Quill Is Mightier(fishin part),oh,i was completely satisfied!
Though,there is a complain:i can't understand,why after 6 cd's,the producers don't do a cd including cues like:M'laila's song,the cues from the Bacchaen festival,music from Deja Vou All Over Again,where in the end,Gabrielle says to Xena those wonderful words,or even the scene of the kiss in The Quest!That,i can't understand it!
Last, i believe that whoever likes LoDuca's music style,should buy this cd.
Pay attention to the 22 cue:Pas De Deux Femmes.It is one of a something and whoever remembers what's the scene of this song,will agree with me!Mmmm!
A MIX OF THE BEST, THE WORST AND THE MISSING.......2001-11-29
To all truly Xena fans this CD is a must-have but have some lacks... Fun (comedy episodes music) scores destroy the the great combination of FALLEN ANGEL, THE RHEINGOLD TRILOGY AND I FRIEND IN NEED. In the first selections LoDuca creates spectacular high level music good enough to be played in a Symphony orchestra concert. The others selections have easy-to-fill-space western cowboy music instead of put M'Lilas song of DESTINY, Amazon's climbing trees of ADVENTURES IN THE SIN TRADE and NAJARA vs XENA music that would be gladly accepted by us. I doubt the company will launch a next CD but if they'll do this track and another valuable more must be there and the adittion of some famous characters quotes like "I have many skills" from Xena.

Customer Reviews:
Last of the Lawton era albums........2004-10-10
Fallen Angel would be the last of 3 albums by the great John Lawton. Though they did recored a fourth with him, that never saw the light of day yet. He left the band (fired or quit) after that album was just finished up. Hopefully one of these days that album will be released.
Fallen Angel is probably the most commercial album Heep did in the 70's. There are none of the familiar fantasy themed songs at all on this at all (only High and Mighty has that distinction for the 70's albums). All the songs are about love and relationships. That doesn't mean it's not good, it's a great album and I think it's better than it's predecessor "Innocent Victim" though it's not a must half like the bands first 5 albums and "Firefly".
If you have the previous remastered version of Fallen Angel, this is not worth getting. There are no new bonus tracks. The follwing are just rehashes of songs on the original album. They don't sound any different.3. Gimme Love - single b-side
Last Farewell - out-take, previously unreleased
Street Lady - out-take, previously unreleased
Struttin' - out-take, previously unreleased
On to the song reviews.
Woman of the Night - Great opener. One of the harder rocking songs on the album.
Falling in Love. - Good AOR rock song, though short (under 3 minutes)
One More Night - A rockabilly Elvis type song. Good one.
Put Your Lovin on Me - Nice mid tempo rocker with a mix of electric and accoustic guitars.
Come Back to Me. Beautiful and soulful country rock ballad about the breaking up of drummer Lee Kerslake's marriage. One of the best Heep ballads ever.
What 'Ya Say - Heep does disco. If KISS and the Rolling Stones can do disco, I guess Heep can too. Not bad for a disco song, but thank goodness it's short.
Save It - I think this is the weakest track on the album. Not sure what the band was accomplishing with this.
I'm Alive - The best rocker on the album. This would have fit well on any Heep album. Energy is filled throughout the song.
Fallen Angel - Along with I'm Alive and Women of the Night, this is my favorite of the tracks. This is the most progressive rock track on the album. Nice melodic accoustic guitar work and keyboards compliment the vocals.
A Right to Live - The best of the bonus tracks. This should have been on the original album rather than Save It. Less commercial sound than most of the album.
Cheater - Sounds like a Styx song of the time period. You swear that Heep had Dennis DeYoung do the vocals on this.
Gimme Love - A generic late 70's AOR song that doesn't really do anything for me.

Perhaps Joe Locke's finest achievement.......2006-04-27
That would be saying a lot.
His own band, 4 Walls of Freedom, with two outstanding releases (an eponymous disc and Dear Life), his collaborations with Frank Kimbrough, perhaps the finest jazz pianist alive (The Willow and Saturn's Child), plus his work with Tim Garland and Geoff Keezer (Storms and Nocturnes), establish him as among the premier vibests alive.
Fallen Angel, however, is something special. Every once in a while a kind of off-the-wall jazz concept strikes pay dirt. That's the case here, methinks. The perhaps cliched idea of creating a jazz disc resonating with film noir sensibilities is here parlayed, big time, into an entirely attractive and infinitely engaging musical encounter. This is territory effectively evoked by Michael Blake at least twice (Drift and Elevated), and perhaps three times if you include Blake Tartare, but never quite as brilliantly as here.
Why? Vibest Joe Locke seems to have this uncanny ability to absolutely "lock" into whatever "vibe" is going down. Here the dusky, tawdry, East LA 40s sensibility is magnificently nailed. Think Chinatown on steroids. And, one must admit, it's a feeling of uncommon attractiveness: world-weariness to the max; seedy, over-the-hill-but-still-appealing denizens--Bogey and Bacall--eking out a cheap existence against a cityscape of huge evocativeness. All this Locke and band blithely, effortlessly, nail.
The vibes, that ungainly instrument with the potentially annoying reverb thing happening, seems the perfect instrument to evoke this smart seediness. Combine that with sleepy-samba guitar by co-leader Bob Sneider, world-weary, Miles-influenced trumpet, courtesy of brother John Sneider, Grant Stewart conjuring late nights at third-hand strip joints, and brilliant stylings by the deep-pocket rhythm section of Phil Flanigan (bass) and Mike Melito (drums), and you have some mega-noir music reeking of lost dreams and, indeed, fallen angels almost beyond comprehension.
Trust me. It's all magnificently pulled off. Absolutely not to be missed.

Customer Reviews:
Recycled.......2003-06-01
Made in GER in 2003, Serial# 511307-2, Playing time 122:51
This 2CD compilation consists of the following:
- 1 track from Ted Nugent's "Free-For-All" album;
- all tracks from "Bat Out Of Hell", except for "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad";
- all tracks from "Dead Ringer", except for "Nocturnal Pleasure";
- all tracks from "Midnight At The Lost And Found"
So it's like 3 albums on 2 discs, with tracks shuffled around to avoid continuity; there's enough room left to have included the missing 2 songs!
No lyrics, liner notes, or pictures; basic packaging and 2 hours of music from Meat Loaf's first 3 solo albums (the Epic years).
So, it's an affordable way to get the "bulk" of the early stuff.
