Bob Seger has racked up a lot of worthy tracks over the years, but it took until 1994 for a greatest hits package to appear. Voilà. The bad news: We're missing an awful lot of songs here. Night Moves is Seger's crit-pick album, and a great place to start if you don't have any Seger at all. Next in the rankings is Stranger in Town. Otherwise, his highs are pretty scattered, which would make any best-of package a worthy investment. But if you want to get comprehensive, "Rock & Roll Never Forgets," "Fire Down Below," "Horizontal Bop," "Her Strut," "Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight," and "Katmandu" aren't on this CD--and you'll have to go to the original albums to secure them. --Gavin McNett

este cd trae buenos temas; pero a un grandes exitos no se le puede omitir eso... exitos. aqui falta "shame on the moon" y "shakedown", basicos en la discografia de este artista.

5 out of 5 stars REally is greatest.......2007-07-08

My husband, who thought he'd never heard of Bog Seger, love the CD. They
are, of course, some of his favorite songs. He just didn't know the
artist's name.

You can't go wrong with Bob Seger for good old rock and roll!

Many of these songs bring back memories. What a talent! If you like Bob Seger, you'll love this CD. His grainy, soulful voice is at its best.

Amazon.com

Two years after LCD Soundsystem's eponymous full-length debut sent indie scenesters rushing to the dancefloor, the outfit headed by dance-rock producer James Murphy serves up another stiff cocktail of punk, dance, and funk with Sound of Silver. Analog synths, chugging basslines, chunky guitars, and Murphy's wild falsetto excursions are once again the foundation to which is added the new and strange, such as the heavily chorused voices that suggest backward-masking in the opener "Get Innocuous" and the captivating harmonics keyboardist Nancy Whang bounces off of Murphy's vocals on "Someone Great." If this album has its own version of "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House," it has to be "North American Scum," an infectious stormer that breezily dismisses Europe as a place where "the buildings are old and you might have lots of mimes." Such lines are good evidence that LCD's music would rather ridicule itself than fall into the kind of pretense and nostalgia it constantly lampoons. The album's title track reflects that hankering after one's teenage years is often interrupted when "you remember the feelings of a real live emotional teenager--then you think again," while the power ballad "New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" wearily serenades the Big Apple as "still the one pool where I'd happily drown." True, LCD's music is not for everyone, which may have something to do with why their fans love them as they do. If you fall into the latter category, however, Silver is gold. --Brent Kallmer

4 out of 5 stars Great music.......2007-07-07

This was the first CD I ever heard from LCD Soundsystem and once I did, I was hooked. Excellent music has made me a fan.

2 out of 5 stars I've heard this before........2007-07-03

Why is everyone lauding this second effort from LCD Soundsystem so much? It sounds like his first album. I own his first double CD album and this, "Sound Of Silver", just sounds like a rehash of that. It's well produced, fairly nice to listen to, but it just seems as if LCD Soundsystem realizes they have a hook, something that people will buy, so that's what they'll put out. And unfortunately, I was duped into buying it. I wasted money on an album ('Sound Of Silver') that I basically could have heard by listening to his first album. All of the songs on this album sound like songs on his first, and the lyrics on some of the songs are laughable in the least, which I would quote verbatim from the lyric sheet, had I already not gotten rid of this CD, due to its taking up space in my CD rack. 'New York...', is a riot, anyone who produces a track like this cannot expect to be taken seriously. I hope for his next album that he does better, although I'm fairly certain I won't be buying it anyway.

4 out of 5 stars Better Than His Last One.......2007-06-22

If I have one criticism of this album it would be that he wears his influences on his sleeve. However, if you love Talking Heads' "Remain In Light" and Kraftwerk's "The Man Machine", you will probably like this album. The last track is also reminiscent of Grandaddy.

5 out of 5 stars Sounds like a hit!!.......2007-06-17

LCD Soundsystem are a US electronic rock group, with a very British sound, a fact not lost on them as they sing "and for those of you who still think we're from england / we're not, no" on the buzzing, incredibly catchy "North American scum".

The album comprises just 9 songs, averaging 5 minutes each. Each track takes 1 to 2 minutes to build up to the vocal delivery.

Case in point is "Someone great" with loads of layering and electronic effects building up to a Human League-like song with eighties sounding synths.

Similarly, "Get innocuous" takes about 2 minutes to build to a shimmery dance song (with disembodied vocals) which takes no prisoners.

"Time to get away" has lead singer James Murphy singing and yelping over a pulsing guitar drenched house groove. The title track is a sparse but hypnotic effects laden song. "All my friends" is a pulsing U2-esque song.

Closing is the lone ballad; "New York, I love you but you're bringing me down", starting off deceptively like a Coldplay song, building up to a blistering guitar solo, and an unexpected twist at the end. They sound like a totally different band on this one.

It does take a few plays to get into but once it gets into your head, you can't get it out. One of the best dance CDs of the year!

4 out of 5 stars bright eyes.......2007-06-12

I had to think of the Bright Eyes albums 'I'm Wide Awake' and 'Digital Ash'. The first one is a lot about New York, the second is more an electronic album. Sound of Silver sounds to me like an electronic album about New York.

Great album, very diverse, has its mellow moments (NY I love you) and a superdance tune (North American Scum).

Also a nice crossover album, people who only listen to electronic music will enjoy it and indie fans will as well.

This CD is excellent. It has many great songs that were on movie
sound tracks, and were not available on Bob Seger CDs.

5 out of 5 stars Comfort music........2007-04-14

Some of these songs are old friends and the others are becoming my new friends.

4 out of 5 stars Soundtrack Songs Make This A Must.......2007-03-11

I was glad to see "Understanding" and "Shakedown" included. Often the songs written for movies get overlooked. Both are terrific songs. Most of the other songs are available on other released albums. Note: I happened upon "Greatest Hits, Vol. 2" when I discovered Bob Seger is not available via iTunes.

Album Description

Founded in the late '60s in Surrey, England, Genesis rose out of the ashes of earlier bands formed by schoolmates Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Michael Rutherford, and Anthony Phillips (who departed after 1969's Trespass, the album providing the final track on this stellar retrospective). Guitarist Steve Hackett soon signed on, as did drummer/vocalist Phil Collins, who'd later emerge (as would Gabriel) as a solo superstar. Following Gabriel's 1975 departure, Genesis grew from a progressive art-rock outfit into one of the biggest arena rock acts ever, with a long string of platinum-sellers and chart smashes. On this, their most comprehensive career-spanning collection to date, Genesis' remarkable evolution is revealed.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A good collection for the begginers like me!!!!!!.......2007-07-04

I never care about Genesis, so I decided to try to listen to them so I just bought this collection. I like it!. My favourite cd was the second one! songs like Abacab, Turn it on again, makes me wants to hear this cd over and over

4 out of 5 stars Great mix for the price!.......2007-06-17

For the price, this collection can't be beat. All the classics, all the hits, from all the different periods of Genesis.

A really good overview of their work.

4 out of 5 stars Good introduction ahead of Genesis' 2007 US tour.......2007-06-07

Economic value: 5 Stars; Compilation: 4 Stars; Packaging: 3 Stars

Now that Genesis has decided to do the (take your pick: dreaded/hoped for) reunion tour this year, starting in Europe shortly, coming to the US later this year, it's time to revisit the only compilation that spans the entire Genesis studio catalogue.

"Genesis Platinum Edition" (3 CDs; 40 tracks; 235 min.) tracks the band's history in reverse chronological order, with one exception: the title track of 1997's "Calling All Stations", which is stuck at the end of CD1 and sounds totally out of place--for many reasons. But for that song, this covers Genesis 1971-1991, and it's amazing what these guys put out in 20 years, and how the band evolved. This compilation is a decent attempt to cover it all. CD1 (16 tracks, 78 min.) covers the band's most successfull years, and many of these tracks are also found on the "Turn It On Again - The Hits" compilation. Am I the only one to think that the songs from 1986's "Invisible Touch" album have aged very poorly? It makes me cringe to listen to them. (Note: "Tonight Tonight Tonight" comes in an edited, short version here.) CD2 (15 tracks, 77 min.) tracks the intermediary years and I was surprised how good these songs resonate still. Check out for example "Abacab" (in the full album version, thankfully), and "In That Quiet Earth/Afterglow", but shamefully "One for the Vine" is missing, one of the band's best tracks ever (and perhaps the best song Tony Banks ever penned). CD3 (9 tracks, 80 min.) covers the Peter Gabriel years (1971-1975), and while I did not mind (and at times greatly enjoyed) Genesis' evolution to a mainstream successful band, this era is still the most compelling for me. Check out "The Cinema Show" and "Supper's Ready" (both here in full length) if you're not familiar with them, you'll be blown away, I promise you.

There is no arguing with the economic value of this compilation: 4 hours of music for $20, you can't beat that. The packaging is a different story: skimpy liner notes, and the booklet is misprinted with pages out of order... I have seen Genesis in concert only once, in Brussels on the 1977 tour for "Wind & Wuthering" and I remember it as if it was yesterday. Unforgettable. While I know that this year's reunion tour is probably a money-grabbing thing, I nevertheless do plan on seeing them when they come to Columbus in September, for nostalgic reasons if nothing else.

5 out of 5 stars What the Turn it On Again collection should`ve been.............2007-05-14

This is, without a shadow of a doubt THE best collection of my favorite band of all time. Disc 1 is what the TIOA CD shoulda been. Not just pure hit machine pop but some great prog like Home by Sea & Mama COMPLETLEY UNEDITED. Also has a hard to find piece called Paperlate remixed.-5 stars. Disc 2 has classics like ABACAB & Turn it on Again totally remixed. it ain`t Genesis at its best but its good.-4.5 stars. Disc 3 is a masterpiece, prog rock greatness with Suppers Ready! Nuff said.-6 stars. steller.

3 out of 5 stars Great musicianship, but can you - honestly - take Phil Collins seriously?.......2007-05-11

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Peter Gabrial, Steve Hackett (later of "GTR," a band Creem Magazine referred to as "SHT"), Tony Banks, Chester Thompson, Mike Rutherford (he of "The Living Years" fam ), and...and...and...Phil Collins. EXCELLENT drummer! But WHY "push the envelope," seeing how annoying he can be? Oh well, "buy the ticket, take the ride," I guess...

The labels that are now gathered under the Universal Classics umbrella have a pretty impressive scorecard in the area of classical compilations. We've seen The Greatest Opera Show on Earth, The Yellow Guide: Classical Music, Best of the Millennium, and now there's The No. 1 Opera Album. But that's no surprise, since Universal has some of the finest interpreters in its catalogue to draw from. This two-CD set (at the price of one), for example, brings together the likes of Cecilia Bartoli, Renée Fleming, Luciano Pavarotti, Kiri Te Kanawa, Sir Georg Solti, Herbert von Karajan, and many more. Yet the other key to a successful compilation is canny anthologizing, and here again, you have a nice selection to give you a smattering of opera's heavyweights from the Italian, German, and French repertory (there's even a step outside the standard framework with an aria from Dvorák's lovely Rusalka). Ranging from 1959 to 1997, the choices from back catalogue will doubtless be the entry ticket for many into this grandest of the arts. --Sarah Chin

4 out of 5 stars Pretty darn good.......2007-07-04

This CD set has a lot of familiar music on it, so if you're a newbie, you might want to try starting with this. There are some great pieces on the first CD. I usually don't even make it to the second.

2 out of 5 stars The Opera #1 Opera Album.......2007-06-07

The music is wonderful. The production is terrible!! The sound fades in and out and is very scratchy in some places.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent assortment.......2007-05-12

I'm not a big opera fan but I wanted to expose an assorted selection for my kids. This was perfect since it included several recognizable selections.

5 out of 5 stars Great Selections.......2007-03-31

This Cd, has the very best of Opera
covering mainly from the classcal
to the to the romantic periods, a most
memorable selection here is Leo Nucci
in a lagendary performance of Rossini's
"Largo al Factotum" from "Il Barbiere di Seviglia"
also Andrea Bocelli in his performance of Leoncavallo's
memorable "Matinatta" here in an orchestrated version.
Indeed some of opera's most loved arias are in this recording
various conductors, orchestras, and soloists. All in their
very best. Indeed a five-star recording...

5 out of 5 stars Terrific !.......2007-01-10

A diverse album to give you a sprinkle of the various types of 'opera'. Every note is pure and lovely, I listen to it all the time ! Highly recommended for anyone just getting into opera. :}

5 out of 5 stars Bob Seger delivers live.......2007-06-28

Lively live performance by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. How can you beat "Katmandu"?

5 out of 5 stars LIVE BULLET ! (Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band show the world how to rock n' roll).......2007-06-19

Recorded in Detroit's Cobo Hall, !977's Live Bullet from Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band is one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. Great rock classics, funky soul music, and good old rock n' roll make up the entire album. Seger, a Dearborn, Michigan native, is right at home, and that just adds to the warmth and enthusiasm on Live Bullet. Tina Turner's Nutbush City Limits starts things off with a funky rock beat. The classic Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser medley is next (this is the version that's played by radio stations). It rocks, and also has emotional significance for millions of people. They tear through Van Morrison's I've Been Working like they mean it. The definitive version of Turn The Page is here, the one you've heard on the radio all these years. Of course this is a great rock classic, one of the greatest rock songs ever. The rousing version of Ramblin' Gamblin' Man will certainly get your body moving, and it's never sounded better than it does here. The Silver Bullet Band, complete with horns, really shines on Heavy Music, and you could almost swear it was Wilson Pickett singing on parts of the song. And that's quite a complement! This live version of Katmandu rocks 10 times more than the studio version does and sounds 10 times better. In fact, all of the songs on this album do. Lookin' Back, Get Out Of Denver, and Let It Rock wrap things up in good rocking fashion, with great vocal performances from Seger, and more excellant hard rocking from the band (especially guitar). Live Bullet is a great album, full of hard driving blue collar rock n' roll, and famous rock classics from America's favorite old time rock n' rollers, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best live albums ever made - EVER.......2007-05-15

If you can't appreciate live Bob Seger, we'll just assume you don't really love good live rock 'n roll. In concert, the man knows how to rock the house like few others. "Nutbush City Limits", "Let It Rock", "Ramblin Gamblin Man", "Get Out of Denver", "Turn The Page" and "Katmandu" ... what a performer, unbelievable cd. Always gets me going and tunes I never get tired of. Long live Bob!

5 out of 5 stars Legendary.......2007-05-14

Following Staind's footsteps, Nickelback make the personal public and vent a history of frustration and resentment to melodic hard rock. The band's second album, Silver Side Up, starts with "Never Again," an angry tirade against domestic violence that sheds light on the issue without too much sap or sentiment. The album's catchy radio hit "How You Remind Me" and the song "Woke Up This Morning" tell of rotting relationships, while other tracks touch on damaged hope and lost dreams. The post-grunge, alt-metal combo backing these songs packs as strong a punch as the lyrical material, going hard with lots of hooks. The additional slide guitar on "Hangnail" and sludgy, alt-metal riffs on "Hollywood," "Money Bought," and "Where Do I Hide" add a little meat to the alt-rock bones on Silver, elevating Nickelback above the heap of copycat rockers clogging the airwaves. --Jennifer Maerz

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Nickelback's best album!.......2007-07-06

After getting "All the Right Reasons" I got all of Nickelback's older albums. While all are very good, I like this one the best. It has a grungy, hard-rock edge to it that I like and all of the songs on this album are very good!

The songs that stand out on this album are "Never Again", "Too Bad", "Just For", "Woke Up This Morning", "Money Bought" and "Good Times Gone". I do not like "How You Remind Me" too much because of all of the radio airplay it got when the song became popular. In my view, the overplay on the radio killed "How You Remind Me".

While I understand the frustration of many who say that Nickelback "sold out" because they decided to go more mainstream. However, I think they were developing their sound like many other bands do and see no difference between Nickelback's sound development and Soundgarden's doing the same thing.

While Soundgarden is, by far, a superior band (I have all of their CDs too), I can appreciate Nickelback's approach since they obviously have to balance making music and selling albums in order to make a living.

I think down the line Nickelback can "return to their roots" and crank out an album just as good as this one. It worked for The Scorpions and Pearl Jam and I think it can happen for these guys too.

5 out of 5 stars Silver Side Up.......2007-05-06

This is the only Nickleback CD that is a must have.
It is Great!

5 out of 5 stars lukey2be_free.......2007-05-02

Nickel Back has done it again, with their album Silver Side Up, another great hit. Their song "How You Remind Me" was nominated for record of the yearat the 2003 Grammy Awards. "Never Again" is a discription of demestic violence. Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake(vocals, guitar); Mike Kroeger (bass); Ryan "Nik" Vikedal (drums)make this band ROCK!!! Silver Side Up is an awesome follow up to The State ending with the taken acustic-meets-electric track of "Good Times Gone"

5 out of 5 stars Excellent CD.......2007-01-10

I've listened to this CD over and over again. Every song is excellent! It is rare to find a CD where every song is great. This CD is a rare find!

5 out of 5 stars Solid rocker with a message.......2006-11-06

Recently started listening to Nickelback. Great songs with messages behind each song about the problems affecting our society today. From drug and alcohol abuse to domestic voilence to cheating these songs cover issues that matter and are sung with emotion and feeling. Two of the best songs are "Too Bad" about a father and son relationship that goes sour and "Hangnail" about a breakup between a couple. "How You Remind Me" and the song "Woke Up This Morning" tell about other bad relationships. Other songs talk about broken hope and lost dreams.

After more than 10 years working the Midwest club circuit, Detroit's Bob Seger hit mainstream American paydirt with this distillation of working-class values and juke-joint rock & roll. His regional success had been brewing throughout the mid-'70s, but after Bruce Springsteen connected with Born to Run (copping Seger's traditional rock values, to say nothing of his husky tone), it was only a matter of time before Seger found his ticket. Seger scores here with the nostalgic title track, the somber ballad "Mainstreet," the over-tanked rocker "Rock 'n' Roll Never Forgets," and the raunch standard "The Fire Down Below." --Rob O'Connor

4 out of 5 stars Sounds from the past.......2007-01-03

Brings back those moments from high school and all the fun we were having. A great addition to my collection.

5 out of 5 stars An Overlooked Gem.......2007-01-02

I remember first listening to FM album oriented rock n roll when the Night Moves lp was released. My first impression as a teenager was gosh that Night Moves song is so darn slow with overly repetitive chords. Mainstreet left me with a somewhat better impression. However rockers like The Fire Down Below, Come To Poppa, and Rock N Roll Never Forgets always had a hold on me. Somehow though the overplayed title track kept me from digging further into this LP.

Years passed and I began to appreciate Live Bullet- both the ballads and the rockers. I realized that Bob Seger certainly put out some great tunes. Some of his more modern stuff was a little hit and miss but overall the man was a talented songwriter as his words are really touching.

Since I absolutely love the cool edgy blues oriented Fire Down Below, I had to give this Night Moves CD another listen this time with more mature ears. I realized that these nine songs are all very good to excellent. Yes, I even like the slow moving Night Moves as the subject matter I can certainly relate to and carries a certain mysterious air. Most notably, the blend from fast to slow and different dynamics make the Night Moves CD very special.

I guess the lesson learned here is to always keep an open mind and one's appreciation for music is always evolving.

4 out of 5 stars Remastered?.......2006-05-23

This is a great album. The only complaint I have is the remastering. About 2/3 through the song "Night Moves" there is a worbling in and out that sticks out like a sore thumb. It made me cringe. It sounded like a worn out cassette tape. I could've made a CD from an LP that would have sounded better than that mess. To me, it ruined the song. I'll have to listen from the greatest hits I suppose.

4 out of 5 stars Seger's best work.......2004-02-28

This album is simply a killer. Bob Seger in those days was playing raw, essential rock and roll at its best.

There's not a loser on this whole album, but the title song is a must hear. And "The Fire Down Below" is the one of the best workouts a Telecaster will ever get. It's a smoking, hook-filled, howling rock masterpiece. Seger outdid himself on this album and never again reached this high water mark.

Don't miss out on Night Moves.

The only song I know on this album is Against the Wind, which is of course, a great song. The only thing I really wanted to rate is the cover. It's the most beautiful album cover there is, in my opinion.

i am so grateful to add this to my music collection it has been one of my favorite Bob Segers release ..however i found out his newest release
first in a long while " FACE THE PROMISE" Bob shows his songwriting and singing have only gotten better with time ... worth the wait ....
"Against the Wind" will always have a special place in my heart...

5 out of 5 stars Thankyou Amazon.com.......2006-11-30

Thankyou again Amazon.com for putting all your track listings on line.This has made it easier for me to download all music for nicks.
The money saved I have managed to buy full circle skirts with yards and yards of material to dance with.
I have managed to throw all my trousers away from my wardrobe and replace it with beautiful long flowing circle skirts.
Fantastic. I would rather wear skirts any day than trousers and listen to the muusic @ the same time.
Happy Xmas

3 out of 5 stars Against the Wind.......2006-10-06

The CD I got is a "digitally remastered" version of the original. It seems to me that they took the opportunity to smooth out the rough edges in Seger's voice, like the used to do to Roger Daltry.

I like the album but feel that it is missing something.

4 out of 5 stars My favorite Seger CD. His zenith has you boppin........2006-08-01

From the beginning with "Horizontal Bop" to the closing with "Shining Brightly," Seger exceeds "Night Moves in quantity and quality. He got more radio play off of this CD, and from more stations. "Her Strut" is one of my favorite Seger songs. And "Fire Lake, Betty Lou, Accompany Me," and "Against The Wind" are all fabulous Seger classics, lyricallly and musically. I know there's lots of folks who say there wasn't much breadth to Seger's musical ability. But once you take Seger for what he's worth, judge him by his era, his contemporaries and what it is exactly he does best, it's hard to find any future or previous CDs by him that measure up to this one. Of course, there's also the immeasurable "nostalgia" that many have for this CD, not to mention the buiit in nostalgia Seger puts into most of his music and storytelling. I think it will stand the test of time.

Amazon.com essential recording

Since its title track provided the inspiration for Steely Dan's "Rikki, Don't Lose That Number," Song for My Father has become known as the jazz recording that launched a thousand bad rock records. Yet whatever pretensions Steely Dan and their legion of desperately hip imitators had shouldn't be laid at pianist Horace Silver's door: this is one of Blue Note's warmest and most satisfying collections--and that's saying something. A pioneer of the hard-bop style, which combined gospel and R&B with jazz, Silver authored many outstanding compositions, including not just "Song for My Father," but "Opus de Funk," "Nica's Dream," "Senor Blues," and "The Preacher." His quintets, which featured tenor sax and trumpet, spotlighted such up-and-coming talents as trumpeters Woody Shaw, Art Farmer, and Donald Byrd. On Song for My Father, the band features tenorman Joe Henderson, who contributed one of his own signature tunes, "The Kicker." Along with the strong quintet work, the album includes a fine trio feature for the pianist in "Lonely Woman." --Fred Goodman

Album Description

A visit to Brazil prompted Horace Silver's interest in his Portuguese roots and led to the magnificent "Song For My Father," his most enduring composition. This album also introduced his new band with Joe Henderson and Carmell Jones and features the classic band with Blue Mitchell and Junior Cook.

This is one of the goog works by Horace Silver, with a very good remastering. However , as I did when listening to the Cape Verdean Blues, I couldn't find clear influences of the music from Cape Vede isls, music I'm familiar with.

5 out of 5 stars everyone was doing it...but not like this.......2007-02-11

Horace Silver (b. 1928) is a skillful jazz pianist with a knack for composition, and this album highlights his genius for simplicity that has since become his trademark. The title track pays homage to Horace's Portuguese father from Cape Verde, John Silver. On "Song for My Father", Horace mixes up his own F-minor jazz piece with traditional Cape Verde and Brazilian carnival music. The result sounds a bit like bossa nova/jazz samba, which was popularized a year before on the Stan Getz/Joao Gilberto album of 1963. Everyone was doing it at this time.

Blue Mitchell (trumpet), Junior Cook (tenor sax), Horace Silver (piano), Gene Taylor (bass) and Roy Brooks (drums).

Much of the flavor on this album works its way out from the influence of the title track, while "The Kicker" is a Joe Henderson composition. This Rudy Van Gelder 24-bit remaster sounds wonderful, though it is not necessary to upgrade from the 1990 edition if you are considering it. There aren't any extra materials, aside from new liner notes. The sound is great, but is comparable to the 1990 release. All in all I would purchase this edition only if you do not have the earlier reissue.

2 out of 5 stars Great music, terrible remastering.......2007-02-09

This is definitely a jazz classic, and with the advertised "24-bit remastering", not to mention that it is part of Blue Note's Rudy van Gelder series, I was ready for a sonic treat. However, it was obviously mastered too loud. Looking at the waveform with Cooledit, there's obivously a fair amount of peak clipping on the CD. What a shame to do this to such classic music.

5 out of 5 stars Hammerin' Funk.......2006-04-18

Horace Silver has always been one of my favorite piano players. Though his styling isn't as distinct as chops of Monk, Horace got some Hammerin'Funk of his own. I've always felt that this album is where is talents have been showcased the best. The album opens with his very own brand of deceptively simple Funk. Yet if it's so simple why aren't there more piano players who sound so joyous and free as Horace does on this track. Que Pasa is a fine latin effort. It sounds almost genre defining. You wanna know what Latin Jazz is. It's Que Pasa! Finaly there's lonely woman. A bop classic that listens like a song with full lyric and all. Each time you revisit this song the lyrics are different but always carry a melancholy beauty.
