Gift Set [Box set]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This exemplary four-disc box takes the high road, attempting nothing less than an honest reconstruction of the Who's stormy, adventurous, uneven pilgrimage. While offering an evenhanded cross-section of single hits and classic album tracks, 30 Years garnishes the expected high points with B-sides, alternate and live versions of familiar tracks, and the quartet's earliest singles as the High Numbers. Reinforcing the package's documentary agenda are interview and stage-patter sound bites. What emerges is a fascinating chronicle of how the Shepherd's Bush mods journeyed from the giddy, explosive concision of their January 1965 debut single, "I Can't Explain," to the discursive, knotty sweep of creative architect Pete Townshend's "rock operas," Tommy, Quadrophenia, and the uncompleted, unreleased Lifehouse. The Who's swift evolution into rock visionaries is traced chronologically, meaning the band's original immersion in "maximum R&B," which forged their earliest club dates, doesn't surface on record until midway through the sequence, on key tracks from their thundering Live at Leeds album. Fans may quibble over the relative weight given specific albums, but the shape of the Who's career and their passionate identification with their audience are rendered faithfully. So, too, is Townshend's skill at mingling issues of faith and identity with generational manifestoes and sly broadsides. And there's ample evidence of the quartet's outsize musical power; the sheer volume and violence that earned them notoriety early on is matched by a lyricism that deepens by mid career. Given the candor of the presentation, it's not surprising that 30 Years reaches its zenith midway through the set or that the last song (a reunion of the surviving trio covering Elton John) can't help seeming anticlimactic. --Sam Sutherland

This is great music no matter how you look at it. The kids will bop along, the parents will be happy it's real songs and not more Disney/Nickelodeon crap, and the grandparents won't be disturbed by it when they have to play it over and over for the little ones.

Album Description

After parting ways with the Sugarcubes, the Icelandic band and alt-pop/rock phenomenon she fronted to stardom, Bjork launched a spectacularly successful solo career in 1993. Her aptly titled first album Debut was a smash in the U.K., where it was NME's Album of the Year and won her the Newcomer and International Female Solo Artist categories at that year's BRIT Awards. In the U.S., the disc was a gold album and a #1 Billboard Heatseeker, announcing her arrival as a major new talent. This distinctive singer-songwriter's artistry continued to evolve through an acclaimed string of adventurous albums that still sound fresh and exciting. The many sounds of Bjork's truly distinctive dance-flavored, spirited, arty, and elegantly conceived electronic pop are a revelation on Rhino's new DualDisc releases of seven of her classic titles.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Bjork's (__Surrounded).......2007-05-08

So it is no question that Bjork is not your typical mainstream artist. She is unlike anything else. She has the voice, the mind, the need, and the power to create and design, beautiful art, whether it is musically, or visually.

In Bjork's new (__Surrounded) you will find everything from the "Debut" in '93 until her latest "Medulla" in '04. Every record on the collection has been re-mastered on the DVD side. They each, except for Selmasongs and Drawing Restraint 9, include their accompanied videos. Those beautifully made videos that can only come from the master mind that Bjork is.

It is no doubt that Bjork grows with time, and this collections shows it. The videos, the music, the arrangements, it all changes, into the world called Bjork. The collection is definitely worth the buy, worth the money and worth the try. Even if you are the biggest fan, or most importantly, have all the CD's, (__Surrounded) is the way to go.

5 out of 5 stars Great Box Set.......2007-04-28

I love what they did with it!! Too bad they couldn't fit Screaming Masterpiece in there! It would have made a nice addition.

5 out of 5 stars Just worth the investment.......2007-03-28

And it is much to say. This beautiful box is expensive, but is awesome. Full Bjork's concept, one of the great artist in the modern music's history. The sound is splendid, not DVD Audio but the DTS 96.24 works pefect.
Don't hesitate to buy this one. It's perfect.

5 out of 5 stars Bjork Binge!.......2007-03-18

This is an excellent collection for Bjork lovers. This was what I was looking for, all her English language studio albums and videos. Now if you could get me the singles, b-sides, and remixes into one box set, I'd be golden. Next purchase for me will be her live box set, but one step at a time! Expensive, but worth it.

3 out of 5 stars Not remastered on the CD Side!.......2006-12-24

Yes, the DVD-remastered 5.1 mix sounds terrific, especially when paired with all the right equipment. However, Bjork did not give the stereo originals a sonic upgrade, and her 90s output certainly could've benefited from a digital remastering. If you already own all of Bjork's albums and do not need the 5.1 DVD-Audio, then give this pricey box-set a miss! Otherwise, head for the Greatest Hits, which feature all tracks digitally remastered!

5 out of 5 stars Love this CD set!.......2006-11-06

Most of the songs are familiar worship and praise songs I grew up with or now sing in church! It's a very comforting soothing version. I keep mine playing day and night, so when you walk into the nursery the spirit of God is presant! I turn it up when I'm nursing or soothing my baby! I highly recommend this CD set as a gift of for yourself!

5 out of 5 stars Great CD set for baby.......2006-08-18

My (currently 1 month old) baby and I love this CD set. It features current, popular as well as older favourite praise and worship music and hymms. The songs are sung by a female with children background vocals which are soft and soothing in a lullaby-like theme. As a person in my church's worship team, this is also a great way for me to sing along to my baby. The songs calm her and help her nap/sleep. I also enjoy rocking her and singing along to her with these CDs and it really reinforces our bonding time. Also great for car rides but watch you don't fall asleep or get too relaxed.

    5 out of 5 stars Every Mehdi is the Best of Mehdi.......2007-07-06

    Honestly, there is not a song on all eight Mehdi CD's that I'm not totally in love with.

    If you are new to Mehdi, get this whole set if possible. If you don't, you are likely just prolonging the inevitable. I read another reviewer say that when I purchased my first Mehdi CD, but I didn't believe it. The day I received that first Mehdi CD, I quickly ordered the other seven CDs from SMI, and I waited very impatiently for them to arrive.

    I'm certainly no expert, but to me, Mehdi compares only with Mozart: it's impossible to find a single composition that is not a perfect classic. And it only seems to get better with time.







    5 out of 5 stars Nice instrumental music.......2007-01-09

    I do not have what to say here - try to listen samples and feel the perfection.

    5 out of 5 stars The greatest instrumental works. Period !.......2006-04-22

    Mehdi has managed to achieve through these CD's what no one else has in contemporary instrumental music. He has come up with brilliant melodies. These wonderful, sweet, melodious and tuneful tracks are all his originals. I don't think anyone in instrumental music today can hold a candle to Mehdi's music. It is simply unbelievably that good.

    I came across Mehdi 7 years back on our local FM station when they were playing his magical track, "Eastern Sunset." I hadn't even heard of Mehdi then. None of his albums were available in my city. Then, about a month back I heard another song on The Weather Channel and decided to look for Mehdi on the Amazon site. Much to my delight, I found him there. I instantly ordered this Gift Set without even thinking twice. I got my CDs in a few days time and, boy, is it worth every red cent of it. All the tracks are so very tuneful instead of boring, slow and out-of-rhythm mumbo jumbo you get to hear by other new age musicians. Even the so-called "legendary" new age artists are not in Mehdi's league when it comes to musical talent. All the tracks take you to another world where you are lost in the deep soulful melodies.

    I have had the CDs now for over 5 weeks and I have been listening to them for about 8 hours a day. I personally believe that good music is about good melodies mainly and a good tune is the hardest thing to find in contemporary music. All the great, household names of today are basically noise. Even the giants of instrumental music pounding away their dull tones and tunes like Yanni, Kenny G or Robert Miles are flat and bland compared to Mehdi. I usually listen to music only from the sixties or seventies and only romantic music for that, although I am 29 years of age and 50+ as you might imagine. I consider it the real music. Mehdi is the only exception from contemporary music I like. In fact, I love his music. I strongly recommend this particular set of albums to all music fans. I think if Mehdi can get himself on a major network TV channel and into the top 40s, he would become the new instrumental giant of today. He has tremendous natural talent. It is not just the Piano-playing skills but the uncanny and rare talent to come up with out-of-this-world compositions. Don't miss out on the musical genius of today, buy this set without hesitation and you'll see how wonderful great music can make you feel !

    5 out of 5 stars A Total Mental "Vacation".......2006-04-19

    I stumbled into the name of Mehdi from another artist review and decided, based on the reviews here, to purchase the gift set. The price per CD is good, I had a gift certificate to spend, so .. why not?? I am amazed at what I got for the money. The music is full of variety but is overall quiet and a very nice mind vacation if you need to get away for awhile. I have not been using my MP3 player much until I got this gift set and now I have loaded it up to the max and it goes everywhere in my purse so that I can listen when I get stuck waiting at Dr offices, etc. What a wonderful gift to myself!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Mehdi - Beautiful, amazing music.......2005-10-18

    The best way that I found to describe this music is this way: Of all the music that I own the music that is must played on my iPod, my home music system, and in my car is MEHDI. This music is truly a gift to your ears and to your mind.

    My music tastes runs the gamut; from the Rolling Stones to Delerium, from Depeche Mode to the Chemical Brothers... yet I find Mehdi to fit most of the moods I find myself in these days. This music just makes me feel better, period.

    I don't know much about Mehdi, whether this is a band, a DJ, etc, and until this week I only had a single CD, Vol 7. After searching locally everywhere for more Mehdi I came back to Amazon and purchased this 7-vol collection. It's the best $95 I've spent in years. In fact, I decided to get an iPod Shuffle just for this collection, so I can carry it with me everywhere.

    If you've never heard of Mehdi and came here by clicking links for "similar" music, from say, Delerium, then I would describe Mehdi as "Delerium without the mania" (and I truly love Delerium). Whereas it is hard, but possible, to find a Delerium track you might not love, it is impossible to find a Mehdi track you don't love.

    If you have the slightest interest in this kind of music, you cannot go wrong with this gift set. If you can't lay out $95 right now, then start with ANY Medhi CD, just start listening, it will change your life for the better. It's the best cure for stress that I know of. Mehdi is sublime...

    First of all, this CD is very hard to find now because it's out of print for long even though it's rather popular among collectors like me. You should buy it if you are a real disco music fan and able to find somewhere, I think. Give Your Body Up series includes many rare disco tunes, moreover, in the extended versions in most cases. But this Vol.1 is most recommendable. I like Why Leaves Us Alone and Bad For Me, both of which are exciting up-tempo disco gems and really really hard to find on any CD. The disco version of Free Man is also good.

    5 out of 5 stars CLUB CLASSIC & HOUSE FOUNDATION REVIEW.......2002-09-15

    THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SERIES TO DATE, ALL THREE VOLUMES HAS CLASSICS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN HEARD IN YEARS. I HAVE ALL THREE AND I HOPE THEY COME OUT WITH 4,5, AND 6.

    5 out of 5 stars HEY, NOW THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!!!.......2002-05-25

    Great collection of dance-cuts. I have volume 1-3, and I'm glad I decided to buy them. With the exception of a couple of songs, all the jams are full-length extended versions. This is what I've been asking for all along. The average person from that era don't want alot of three-minute cuts from back in the day. Hey, we want the whole un-cut versions and this series delivers.

    Plus, while listening to it, I came across a few long-loved jams that I haven't heard in years (decades, even). For instance, as soon as I heard the song "BRA" by CYMANDE, man, I almost cried. And then there's the vocal-version of the jam, "ALWAYS THERE" by SIDE EFFECT. Man, I was looking for these cuts; in CD-format, for a long time.

    Hey, if your on a serious quest for great un-cut dance-jams from back in the day; you definitely can't go wrong with "GIVE YOUR BODY UP", it's one of the best series.

    First, get all 3 volumes, put 'em on your multi-disc cd player, then let these dancefloor gems do their thaaang... Can be played at a bbq on Memorial Day, July 4, Labour Day, etc... or while you're playing Twister (tangled up in a pretzel position while trying to grab that Bacardi & Coke that's waaaay on the other side of the mat ;) whatever... you get the idea. Your cooler friends will scream and shout when their favorite joints get those memories flooding back.

      5 out of 5 stars Now this is Marilyn Manson.......2001-08-04

      If you haven't yet purchased Manson's home video "God Is In The TV" or his live album "The Last Tour On Earth" then I suggest you purchase them together in the collector's edition box set that also includes a cool double sided mini-poster. We've all seen Manson's shocking and beautiful music videos, but they are definatly not shown enough. Now you can watch 13 of them any time day or night. The videos range from songs of "A Portrait of an American Family" to 1998's "Mechanical Animals." Great videos. This tape also includes about an hour of revealing and often funny live and backstage footage. I watch it all the time. The live album is definatly a gem. It portrays the awesome power of Manson live and has songs from all the cd's up to "Mechanical Animals." The poster is really awesome too. Even the box itself is cool. Definatly a must have for Manson fans who have not yet purchased the video or the live album.

      5 out of 5 stars Great packaging great visuals and sounds.......2000-12-06

      This box set comes wrapped in a fake book that looks alot like the bible except with Manson's name on it. Inside you will find one copy on cd of the last tour on earth cd and excellent live documentation of 1999s craziest tour featuring alot of Marilyn talking before songs. Also included is god is in the tv with almost all of their videos plus a bonus hours worth of live footage. This would be a great gift for a Manson fan who probably doesn't have these two items...ie someone who just owns the albums. Also included is a poster with the graphics from god is in the tv and Last tour on earth. I can only hope that our society continues to produce artists who question and challenge the listener (viewer) as much as Brian and the boys. Long Live MM

      5 out of 5 stars Are we dogs or are we mice?.......2000-11-02

      With Christmas fast approaching, how could anyone listen to "Marilyn Manson Gift Set [LIVE]" without thinking about the true spirit of the holiday. "Christ" mean "Christ" and "mas" means "mas." Put them together and we get "Christmas." Do I have to spell it out for you?

      Perhaps you'll pardon me if I write this review in a more personal vein than usual. I want to tell you about some personal perceptions of mine, primarily because I am starting a grassroots campaign with the sole purpose of stopping Mr. Marilyn Manson. To start, Mr. Manson's voiced intentions don't match his actual intentions. Let's remember that. Look at what's happened since he first ordered his drones to acquire public acceptance of his rabid writings: Views once considered craven are now considered ordinary. Views once considered gormless are now considered perfectly normal. And the most tasteless of Mr. Manson's views are now seen as gospel by legions of the most cold-blooded liars and cheats you'll ever see. One could imagine that some good might come from letting him twist the history, sociology, and anthropology disseminated by our mass media and in our children's textbooks. But the only one whose imagination is vivid enough is Mr. Manson. Unfortunately, I can already see the response to this review. Someone, possibly Mr. Marilyn Manson himself or one of his assistants, will write a socially inept piece about how utterly treasonous I am. If that's the case, then so be it. What I just wrote sorely needed to be written.

      I may as well put my cards on the table. Usually, I don't care for the flash and slash sound of Techno-Alternative: it's just too tortured for me. With "Marilyn Manson Gift Set [LIVE]", I must make an exception. Name just one other Pyro-Sludge outfit who can Whittle the Wilbur down to the bone without the help of studio trickery? See what I mean! So get out your credit card, click "order this item," and take a stand against big government censorship. Seriously folks. Are we dogs or are we mice?

      5 out of 5 stars Awesome package!!.......2000-09-26

      This has got to be the absolute best gift set out there today!! It includes the cd "The Last Tour On Earth", which is his second best cd (next to Antichrist Superstar), it comes with a very cool limited edition poster(one side has the cover of "The last tour on earth" on it, and the other side has the front cover of "God is in the TV" on it), and it comes with a very cool video, "God is in the TV". This is a long video with all his videos (except for "Astonishing Panorama of the endtimes"), and an hour of concert and backstage footage. VERY COOL!!! BUY IT NOW!!! YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED.

      5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT GIF SET!.......2000-05-08

      The gif set contains the video "The God Is In The TV", the Audio CD "Last tour on earth" and a lillte book very original. IS THE BEST OF MARILYN MANSON AFTER THE "BLASPHEMY" BOX SET!
