About the Artist
Teresa Hughes has been performing for many years!! She grew up on a small farm and orchard in the Okanogan Valley in Washington state. Driven by the music she grew up on, Marty Robbins, Dolly Pardon, Buck Owens, Roy Clark, and Elvis, Teresa has developed a style all her own. She has won several country music showdowns and national singing competitions and is in great demand throughout the Inland Northwest!! She performs for just about any western venue from fairs to rodeos. The stories that are told in her music are an adventure in themselves. From a sad ballet of the death of a nephew to the infatuating feelings of a hot new romance, this is a CD to remember!!

Product Description

A Blue Ocean Dream is n one-man-act that builds on the foundation of electronic pop pioneers, Kraftwerk, while adding a modern touch and thoughtful lyricism. Analog synthesizer sounds soar, and catchy electronic hooks pull you in as you experience the music of this synthpop act from Sweden. Synthpop and electro are tied nicely together with "On the Road to Wisdom", and the album will be remembered for years to come.

Racing the Streets of Monaco..........2007-01-29

This album is an exquisite piece of electronic and synthpop music. It is like Kraftwerk but I found it a lot enjoyable. The artist voice is like computer. In fact all the album sounds like computer-generated. Some great compositions: Automatic, On a Sunny Day (some kind of love song, "everytime I think of you, my heart beats just like a drum, to the tune to the melody, it just sticks like bubblegum"), Streets of Monaco... Incredible, simple incredible!

Really Seductive Synth Music.......2005-12-29

For some reason, when I first heard this record, I was taken back to 1987, when Nitzer Ebb stomped across the land and Depeche Mode weren't a bunch of pretentious egomaniacs. This record takes me back to a simpler time, when synth bands were in full force, songwriting mattered as much as dancable beats, and real attempts at conveying emotion through technology were made by the days musical practioners.

I had never heard of this band until one of their tracks was spun at a local goth night. I went out, found the disk, and it's been in my player ever since. Imagine all the good things about early DM, early Cure....imagine if Erasure played a darker brand of introspective synthpop....imagine a sensual Kraftwerk....imgagine electronic music that feels completely organic. Sexy baritone vocals, groovy beats with lots of air around them...

Very diggable record from a band that really understands the style of music they're playing. It doesn't really break any new ground, but man, they do what they do VERY well.

One stop on the road to immortality.......2006-11-19

This is a more than competent CD transfer of acoustic recordings of Sir Nigel Playfair's legendary 1920s revivals of The Beggar's Opera and its sequel Polly. Quite sufficiemt to show why the Beggar;s Opera production, meant to fill a few weeks' gap at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith, ran for three years. And while Gay's sequel was like most sequels, not up to the original, this recording is the only source for the second-best ballad opera.

Must Stop Ordering When Drinking - Or Maybe I Got Foxed.......2006-09-02

Right. Can't remember what state of sobriety I was in when I ordered this cd and I may have missed some key clues about its nature. But I was so excited to find anything claiming to relate to Gay's "Polly" (which otherwise seems to have completely disappeared after it was censored in the 18th century - even internet wise) that I bought this cd. Turns out it is a cd version of some music originally recorded in the early 1920's. It is moderately interesting even for someone who is not primarily interested in antigue recordings (aka "scratchy records") because the style may be closer to that of the original performance. (There is no reason to think that common tastes were better in the 18th century than in 1920.) It is certainly different than contemporaneous performances of BO.

Don't mean to be sexist - which I am - but the duets, choreses and male performances seem to be less antigue than the soprano pieces. The broads are simply squeaky. Something to do with frequency loss in early recordings, I expect. On the other hand, the bass songs are equally abrasive and archaic.

Even the notes about "Polly" in this cd are disappointing. No mention of the history of "Polly", no mention of the source for the music. Try googling for a link for Gay and Polly. If you find one, be sure to post - I would love to know.

Unless you are an academic involved with some of the most obscure corners of the history of recorded music, I would forget this one. Instead, root for someone to find and record Gay's Polly. And buy a more modern interpretation of the Beggar's Opera. I have certainly heard antique recordings restored more vibrantly than this cd - but I would think that depends to a large extent on the quality of what you have to start with.

The only reason I gave it 2 stars (for some reason, Amazon refuses to record my change from 1 to 2 stars; but that is computers for you) instead of 1 was because of I love the melodies of the songs so much. But I will also admit that it is possible that Gay have been lucky that Polly was suppressed - the melodies and lyrics are not nearly as good as BO. On the other hand, this cd is so antique that is an unfair basis for judgment, But what the H!

Great Music.......2002-01-06

I was traveling through the town where Teresa Hughes lives and this is the first time I saw this CD. I thought that I would buy it and listen to it. Being a singer myself, I like to listen to local talent. I was shocked to find out that in my opinion, Teresa is very talented and I was surprised I had not heard of her before. Her songs are written with meaning and feeling and sang with all that and more. Her music means so much to her, which is quite apparent. Waiting for her next CD.
