a very pleasant surprise.......2007-07-10

nicolas hooper has done an excellent job recapturing the magic of the film through his score. as i do feel that john williams did the most justice to the films as far as bringing the most vivid and real "images" out through the music, nicolas hooper is a close second. he creates great images and incorporates williams' work without issue. i didn't care for patrick doyle's work as much. it wasn't terrible but it didn't present strong visuals or feelings of the movie and it didn't pull me in. i did get the impression that he tried to use as little of the main theme as possible. and when he did, he changed it quite a bit as if to stamp it his own.

Could be Harry Potter, Could be any PBS/BBC production..........2007-07-10

I was sad because I really like Patrick Doyle's music, who composed Goblet of Fire. And of course John Williams is great as well. There is very little John Williams source material here, Another Story has a taste of previous themes, then quickly abandoned. A Journey To Hogwarts also offers previous themes. The opening track on the new album has this electric guitar solo, that just sounds wrong, not in keeping with the Harry Potter world at all. This is a very different score and it's not my favorite. Nicholas Hooper has scored many movies and television shows, but ones you likely haven't heard of. Most of this sounds as if it cold have been from any one of those shows. I understand that John Williams didn't want to spend the rest of his career scoring Harry movies. This may be the weakest score yet. IMDB lists him for Half-Blood Prince as well, that's sad. Hopefully Williams will return for the final episode.

An Exciting New Addition.......2007-07-10

While much different then Williams and Doyle, Nicholas Hooper does an amazing job with this next chapter of the Harry Potter movies. Though a relatively unknown composer, his score is magical and brings the fantasy to life. The entire album is absolutely delightful and really captures the sprit and essence of both the movie and the book. There are simple, lighthearted parts, but a darker side overshadows these moments. Just like the darkening plot of the story. The soundtrack begins with 'Fireworks' which is fast paced. The use of electric guitar blended in brings a new sound and definitely picks the up the beat. Professor Umbridge's theme especially captures her character being upbeat and sinister. This magical track is continued with track 13 'Umbridge Spoils a Beautiful Morning'. Track 5 'Dumbledore's Army' is my favorite on the soundtrack for the way it weaves excitement, energy, and mystery which provides a perfect backdrop for the group in the movie. 'The Room of Requirements' is similar in its make-up and just as captivating. The other most notable track is the Death of Sirius, which is filled with emotion that is almost draining. It is almost heartbreaking. Lastly, the soundtrack concludes with 'Loved Ones and Leaving' which follows much of the same composition as John Williams 'Window to the Past'. It is a perfect track to conclude with as it envelops the mood of the movie and will be the perfect link to the future 6th movie. I was pleasantly surprised with Hooper's score and I am definitely looking forward to listening to anything he composes in the future.

"Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak!".......2007-07-10

I think most fans can agree the the John Williams scores for the 1st three Harry Potter films where definitely the best in the franchise so far. Patrick Doyle took a different approach I think with the 4th film and sadly the result was lackluster compared to Williams brilliant work. When Nicholas Hooper was announced that he would be composing the score for the next Harry Potter film, I was astounded that Warner Bros. would allow such an unknown composer to compose the music for one of the biggest film franchises of all time. Needless to say I was worried and I think everyone else was a little hesitant as well. However, Hooper has brought back that sense of magical feeling that Williams so brilliantly captured.He does an outstanding job with this score. I highly recommend it for fans of the movie or fans of musical scores in general

This is not a review about Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon's hair. However--as any self-respecting fan knows--in country music, after proving you can pluck a guitar and carry a tune, the power of the right hairstyle is not to be underestimated. Johnny Cash, in fact, was famously vain about his locks--perhaps one of the few things he was vain about--and many a guitar store employee can attest to the fact that when the Man in Black came in to buy his special brand of guitar pick, his hair was dyed a jet black more often seen on a boy of 20 than a man of 60. In any case, Phoenix and Witherspoon's performances as Johnny and June Carter Cash succeed more in the style and hair department than in their musicality. Phoenix fares better than his co-star in reinventing the Cash mystique, and his sweet, almost earnest interpretation of "Get Rhythm" is as charming as it is honest. Unfortunately, the powerful song "Ring of Fire" is flat and wholly without the narrative pull it had when Cash sang it. And Witherspoon is simply not up to the warbling task she's faced with in singing as June Carter Cash. (To be fair, it's hard to know who would be, but the estimable Loretta Lynn or Tift Merritt would have had better luck). Carter Cash's honeyed gift with melody, and the largeness of her voice, honed over decades in live performance, is hard to replicate for even a seasoned singer, and predictably, Witherspoon falls short of the mark. It's certainly seductive to imagine that playing a figure as compelling as Johnny or June would allow an actor to channel the soul and some of the talent of the artist, but the closest this record comes is in "Cry, Cry, Cry," where Phoenix's gravelly voice offers the same sustained thrill that made Johnny Cash irresistible--to June and his fans. --Megan Halverson

Not a carbon copy.......2007-07-08

Within the liner notes of the gem of a CD, the director of the movie "Walk the Line" was quoted as saying he wasn't looking for a Johnny Cash impersonator, but for somebody who could make the legend come alive.
I personally really like Joaquin Phoenix' smooth, sexy voice. My favorites are "Get Rhythm" and "Walk the Line."

I strongly reccommend this CD.

Walk the line CD.......2007-06-13

The music was wonderful. I think Reese Witherspoon needs to do more signing. I certainly would buy her CD

Disappointed with this CD lacked body and character music sounded thin and repetative

Walk the Line.......2007-06-01

A wonderful movie. Joaquin Phoenix was ideal as the young Johnny Cash - 19 to 37 years, The producers said they didn't want an actor and actress to portray John and June precisely and this is what I saw. The singing and guitar playing was right on. Joaquin should have won an Oscar also!

Great.......2007-05-17

I bought the cd for my husband who is a huge fan of the movie. He absolutely loves the cd! He has practically worn it out listening to it.

Ravishing A Cappella Choral Singing of a Russian Liturgical Masterpiece.......2007-05-25

For starters, this CD contains some of the finest a cappella singing I've ever heard. Its sumptuous choral tone must be heard to be believed. It is done by two professional choirs from seemingly unlikely places, the combined Kansas City Chorale and Phoenix Bach Choir. I have raved about their prior recordings both separately and in combination but this release possibly tops anything they've done, at least in terms of ineffably beautiful a cappella choral sound. The Grechaninov 'Passion Week' is a setting of thirteen pieces with texts in Church Slavonic meant to be sung individually over the period of Passion Week, the days leading up to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. (And, frankly, I would suggest that listeners ration their listening to one or two sections of the work at a time, in order to experience the unique effect of each individual piece, although there is something to be said for listening to the whole thing -- 74-plus minutes -- to experience its almost hypnotizing cumulative effect.) The Russian Orthodox Church has a tradition of morning and evening services during Passion Week when the passion week's events are recalled almost in 'real time.' The music itself is generally slow, meditative, largely monophonic and almost trance-like. It must be incredibly difficult to sing. One can only imagine the kind of breath support required. One notices that the usual number of singers in these two choirs has been supplemented by several additional basses, no surprise considering the long legato lines required of that section. Their low C's and even B's resound like the tolling of great bells throughout the work. One could almost surmise, if one didn't know, that this was the singing of a Russian choir, so noted for their deep basses, except that the blending and rounding of the choral tone is so very much more subtle than is generally heard from Russian choruses. The work is entirely choral, but there are occasional soprano, tenor and baritone solos which consist mostly of chants sung against the main body of massed sound.

Aleksandr Tikhonovich Grechaninov (1864-1956) was a few years older than Sergey Rachmaninov and his sacred music is in many ways similar in style to that of the better-known composer. Grechaninov's 'Passion Week' was written in 1912, shortly before Rachmaninov wrote his well-known 'Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom' which has also been recorded by the Kansas City Chorale in a lauded release which unfortunately is not easily availabel these days but worth seeking out. After the Revolution Grechaninov emigrated from the Soviet Union and eventually wound up in the US where he became a citizen. He continued, even after leaving Russia, to write music for emigré congregations of the Russian church although he also began writing liturgical works for the Roman Catholic Church as well. His sacred music is what he is best known for, although he also wrote operas, songs and orchestral works.

There is no question that Charles Bruffy, the conductor of both the Phoenix Bach Choir and the Kansas City Chorale, is one of the most talented choirmasters currently working anywhere in the world. He may very well be the US analog to Eric Ericson of Sweden or Laurence Equilbey of France. Certainly his choruses' style is more European than English, and it is to the English Chandos label's credit that they have added these two Bruffy-directed choirs to their roster. One looks forward to any and all future releases from these marvelous groups.

This is a hybrid SACD disc which means it can be played on both a regular CD player or on SACD equipment. In either format the sound is rich, warm and true.

The previous release of the combined Phoenix Bach Choir and the Kansas City Chorale, featuring mainly the Mass for Double Choir by Frank Martin, is here: Eternal Rest - Phoenix Bach Choir, Kansas City Chorale

Take a look at the running times:

Disc 1: 60 minutes
Disc 2: 50 minutes
Disc 3: 61 minutes
Disc 4: 58 minutes

What gives Silva? There is *MUCH* more John Williams in the silva screen back catalogue by the Prague Philharmonic than what is in this set, and thats not including their entire discs devoted to Star Wars Films, Indiana Jones Trilogy etc. Why isn't Hook "When You're Alone" included on Disc 2? There's room. Why isn't 1941 on Disc 1? There's room. Why isn't Earthquake on Disc 3? There's room. Why isn't Far and Away on disc 4? There's room. Where's the other ten minutes of the Rare Breed suite on disc 3? Why isn't Midway on disc 1? Where are the Land of the Giants, Time Tunnel and Lots In Space tv themes? Etc. Etc. Etc.

C'mon Silva, most of these 4 disc mega boxes released in the past few years are packed to the brim, but not this one, and with new recordings made after this was released (the terminal, munich, geisha, war of the worlds, star wars ep 3, harry potter 3), it only makes sense for a "re-do" in the next couple of years.

Further, with Silva releasing the 100 Greatest Film Themes on six discs in a couple of months, it's only a matter of time before we see the ultimate six disc john williams set.

This isn't a BAD set to own, but it could have been much better and when compared to the Jerry Goldsmith and John Barry sets in this same series, this one is a major letdown.

Always a pleaser.......2007-03-31

I listen to music all day with patients in my dental chair. This one is a winner with everyone. Patients always comment on how they recognize a song. Who doesn't love John Williams? His music transcends time.

JOHN WILLIAMS 40 Years of Film Music.......2007-01-10

This 4 cd pack is an anthology of all John Williams works. From his earlier works "The Poseidon Adventure" and "Jaws" right through "Indiana Jones" and the most recent"Star Wars" prequel movies are included. Williams work in thriller and horror are also included. If you are into soundtracks and love movie music this is an essential buy. The quality of the music is excellent. With ten or more tracks on each cd it's well worth the money.

Movie Music Magic & Memorabilia.......2006-12-13

This four CD set expands on the previously released John Williams Greatest Hits. It's a grand collection of nearly four hours of famous music scores from over forty years. There are many songs never before available in any collection. The short liner notes tell a great tale of musical movie history and include all of his numerous award nominations and wins. Each song (oddly enough) mentions the actors and the director, so fond are John Williams's memories of his work with these people. All of the conductors are mentioned along with specific orchestras, choirs, arrangement and orchestration specialists and even the publishers (contractual, I am sure). The only things missing are his early television scores, such as those for "Lost In Space" (by Johnny Williams back then). But with four discs, one has nothing to complain about and everything to enjoy!

John Williams: 40 Years of Outstanding Film Music.......2006-11-28

I have been a huge fan of John Williams and I have known about his music for years. However, I never actually bought any of his music on CD. I was rather skeptical about purchasing this CD but when it arrived I knew I had made the right choice. The sound quality of the compilation is outstanding. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do a great job under the direction of Paul Bateman. The original London Symphony Orchestra CDs of John Williams' Star Wars Trilogy CDs are marginally better but this is still a great CD compilation. If you love ET, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter, you will love this compilation soundtrack. Buy it, listen to these CDs in the car and enjoy every minute of the collection!!!

Warning: Even limited exposure to this French band's music is liable to turn the listener into a crazed zealot desperate to "just turn people on" to their music or to wander about aimlessly wondering aloud why they're not at least as well known as, say, Erlend Oye. The band's been relentlessly eclectic since they formed in the late '90s; they make hybrid music, an electronic-flavored rock that's impossible to describe without using up half a dozen hyphens in the process. It's their most straight-ahead, "rock"-sounding release, and if your first thought is that it wouldn't hurt if It's Never Been Like That had a little bit more of a cocaine disco unicorn vibe to it, give it another listen. This record is an effortless-sounding, mini-masterpiece that mixes art song elements with delightful retro-pop. And it's scary how simply and truly great it is--easily amongst the best albums of 2006. --Mike McGonigal

Customer Reviews:

shockingly perfect pop.......2007-04-15

I dont know how they exactly did it but this band crafted a nearly perfect gem of pop songs. There's some punk and 80's influences but the band makes music that certainly stands on its own. There's also a mature sense of irony in several of the songs that makes replays of the CD fun if you're older than 16. Very impressive singing in a "rock/pop" style. The studio mixing brings out the strengths of the band.

Phoenix Destroyed My Car Stereo.......2007-03-22

I bought this C.D. for my birthday. Tried to load it into my car stereo and it it ended up jamming the unit and then it died.

So while the C.D. was only $8.00 it will cost me hundreds to fix the car stereo. I blame the record manufacturers for putting in some type anti-copy protection which screwed up the unit.

Therefore this is a must to avoid if you care about your equipment.

Oh Pheonix!.......2007-02-10

These guys never get it wrong. The second I heard this I got the words "its never been like that, its never been like that" running through my head non-stop (especially since it IS in the refrain of track #4). Pheonix is a French band with weird words, a lovely voice, and some nifty tunes. Pheonix is easy listening, yet catchy as heck, pop, yet still rock. They hold a delicate balance between smooth and sexy. But I must admit, for most Phenox is a guilty pleasure, you enjoy it until you actually try to understand the lyrics then find out that you are not crazy and that the lyics dont actually make sense. But you still heavily enjoy the music anyway and sing along. You must buy this album, or any Pheonix album!

Remember when you liked the Strokes?.......2007-01-19

No one's making comparisons to the Strokes. They should. There are similarities in influences, phrasing, rhythm.

And if you've been disappointed in the Strokes recently, you'll be happy to know that Phoenix has no interest in emulating that downturn. They can't. They build better songs, they take more chances, they have a singer who can carry a tune. They have made an album here that holds up very well to repeated listening.

So, my point: "It's Never Been Like That" will go down well with fans of the Strokes.

If you're not a fan, you'll like this Phoenix that much more. It's great pop songs without the rumpled expensive suits. The attitude is in the right place: in the songs.

AMAZING!!! - THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2006..........2006-12-26

Well folks, this is a long overdue review of a record that needs its rightful recognition. Simply put, this should be the album of the year for 2006 (not "Return To Cookie Mountain" by TV On The Radio). This disc is packed full of the kind of rhythms and melodies that will keep you going back to it year after year. "It's Never Been Like That" is one of those rare albums that are great from beginning to end. I am a (still young) high school teacher and have played some of the songs for a few students and they've all reacted positively to what they heard. Questions like why don't they play Phoenix on the radio? and do they have other records? were being asked. As a teacher, I have summer months off from work and I travel to Italy for most of the summer. "It's Never Been Like That" quickly became the soundtrack of the summer for my wife and I. I highly recommend this album and feel confident that you won't be disappointed. As always, allow every album the opportunity to grow on you and I promise you that this album will be one that you keep going back to year after year.
Getting back to my comment about "Return To Cookie Mountain"... I am personally startled that this disc by TV On The Radio is as highly praised by critics and fans as it is. I commented that you should allow an album to grow on you in order to fully understand it and appreciate it, but after more than 10 times listening to "Return To Cookie Mountain", I an still wondering how it is possible that quality albums like "It's Never Been Like That" could get overshadowed by that album.

ENJOY PHOENIX!!!

In a lot of musical imaginations, Lyfe Jennings' The Phoenix will occupy a space a few slots up from the Hustle & Flow soundtrack. As he proved on the prelude to this disc--the swift-selling, hype-generating Lyfe 268-192--he's an urban poet with an unsparing eye. When he's not laying out his grit-laden artistic process in what seems like a dozen spoken-word interludes, he's singing it as he sees it. On "S-E-X," that vision includes a sensitive-minded, daddy-like plea for abstinence among teen-age girls punched up by the sexy-sounding Lala Brown, and on the thump-thump slo-mo thrill ride "Ghetto Superman" it includes a pitiful remembrance of things past ("We grew up in the gutter eatin' peanut butter sandwiches/With no jam"). Part Curtis Mayfield, part Donny Hathaway, part Kanye West, and part John Legend, Jennings is determined to offer a long, tall drink to the spiritually dehydrated--he's massively musical (check his gentle acoustic guitar on "Down Here, Up There" and the raw soul of "The River") and enormously ambitious: It's no accident that The Phoenix plays like scuffed-up, 21st-century epic poetry in places. Real-world R&B hasn't reached this far in a long time. --Tammy La Gorce

3-1/2 stars -- Lyfe spreads his wings.......2007-05-16

After Lyfe Jennings served a ten-year prison stint for arson, his debut album Lyfe 268-192 took about a year to really get noticed by the public. Fortunately, people remembered his talents, as his latest album The Phoenix debuted at a pretty high spot on the charts, and since I loved his first album, I of course picked up THIS one.

Lyfe's first album had hardly any guest stars, but this time there ARE a few cameos here and there. Still, he's best when he's singing by himself, like on "I'll Always Love You", "Let's Stay Together" and "The River". And if you want to hear his vocals really soar again like on "Made Up My Mind" from his last album, try "Goodbye" on for size. Some people also might question why Lyfe decided to remake Tupac's "Keep Ya Head Up", but I think he did a pretty good job.

"More Than a Girl" is also good despite its suffering from a few too many similes. And that leads me to the missteps on the album. Lyfe is still a great singer, but one still has to question where he came up with the ideas for some of these songs. The political commentary "S.E.X." is pretty decent except for the average chorus, but at times the subject matter gets from corny ("Ghetto Superman", "Biggie N") to confusing ("Still Here") to just plain ridiculous ("Stingy"). Another thing is something that reviewer Travis Hunter pointed out. Just as was the case on 268-192, this album also features accompanying interludes with every song (except for "I'll Always Love You"), this time BEFORE the respective songs rather then after them. But whereas on the first album they were interesting explanations, here they just take up time; in fact, it got to the point that I almost knocked the rating down to three stars.

The Phoenix is still a good album, but for his next album, Lyfe should leave the guest stars and commentary behind so that we can enjoy a smoother listen.

One of the best albums I've heard........2007-03-14

I bought The Phoenix in the Summer of 06 and never opened it. I kept hearing songs on the radio by Lyfe that I like so Friday night 3/9/07, I got the cd out of my car and played it. I have not turn this cd off since friday. It is now Tuesday 3/13, and I am listening to it as I type this. I will go out today and buy his first album because I loved The Phoenix so much. The lyrics and his voice are amazing. Some of my favorites are I'll always love you, Still Here, Good bye, River etc... I can go on and on. This is one of those cds that you can play on a road trip and never turn it off. For the first time in a long time I feel like I got my moneys worth.

trying to find the cd's are hard enough for us 70's kids so when i found it here at amazon it was great. I love dan fogleberg. thats all i have to say.

"Phoenix" Rises to the Top!.......2006-01-10

This album received a lot of airplay when it was released, out where I was living. I absolutely loved it: the diversity of songs, melodies, and words in "Phoenix, "Face The Fire," "Wishing On The Moon," and even those put down by others like "Longer," show a depth of songwriting and playing that adds up to Talent. This and another album I reviewed tonight are two of my favorites of all time, bringing back great memories of some not-so-great times, but then that's part of what music is all about, isn't it? Make some of your memories with one of the finest albums that you'll ever latch onto.

Tried and True!.......2005-07-10

This album is a collection of the best songs Dan Fogelberg has ever written. It has been one of my favorites since first released some 20+ years ago. I bought it on vinyl when it originally came out, cassette to listen to it in the car as a teen-ager, and finally CD, as it is a must have. Fans will recognize it as being his finest work, a masterpiece, and truly timeless. Being as old as it is, it is not at all dated.

Fogelberg's Finest!!.......2005-05-03

With all due respect to Dave "missing person" and his outstanding review, Phoenix is a bonafide 5 star classic, with Longer Than being the weakest song on the album, as sweet as it is. How anyone could not get goosebumps from the quality writing, performance and production of Beggar's Game, is beyond me. I suggest Phoenix has a place in any collection

Fogelberg's 2nd best.......2005-01-14

Wow, Dan's an odd duck...kind of all over the place musically. While all of his lyrics tend to be kind of dumb, the music he puts them to varies wildly! Cuts like "Longer" (big airplay!) and "Heart Hotel" are rather typically sappy radio-friendly fodder, but then... He hits you with great tunes like the title cut, and even more so "Face the Fire" (w/Joe Walsh on guitar!). The last tune rocks out to a major degree, and would make the album worth buying even if the rest of it sucked (it doesn't). I call this his 2nd best because I like "High Country Snows" much better, but then again, that one's more traditional country/bluegrass tunes, which I'm bit more partial to than I am rock.

"The legend continues," writes the only remaining "real" Temptation Otis Williams in this CD's thank-you notes. There is little here besides his survival and the group name to connect this to the classic lineups' prodigious achievements, however. Phoenix Rising lived up to its title by becoming a hit in 1998, yet it sounds more like Babyface leftovers sung by Take 6 than anything deserving of carrying the once-mighty Tempts' handle. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

They can still do it........2005-09-30

This is a refreshing new sound and direction for the Temptations. But as always, it's good as usual. Theo Peoples is great in the lead on " Stay " and yes it is him. I saw Theo recently singing lead for the Four Tops and at some point, near the end of one of the songs he was leading, he threw in a line from " This is my promise " . I was floored. It was at that point that I knew that it was him on all leads, where many of us thought it was Barrington "Bo " Henderson, on this incredible album. Having sang in a singing group myself, I am well aware of the different vocal textures possessed by various singers. I know it's Theo's voice. Believe me, it's Theo and not " Bo ". If you don't believe me, go see the Four Tops as soon as possible, and you'll realise it's him too. Anyway, all of the songs on this cd are great. We all know they're not the original leads, but this is great singing-period. We know they can't compare to the original five, so why should we? We should assess this collection of Temptations on their own merit-period. This is how they should be assessed. It's a great CD.

Amazing because of their " HARMONIES".......2005-08-09

This cd is tight because of it's harmonies, not just because of Theo Peoples. And contrary to what Rickey Wright had to say, this cd sounds like the Tempts, not like Take 6.He must not have heard "Everybody Needs Love"just listen to when The Tempts sing the part {Wanna Be Kissed} from Everybody Needs Love, it's sung in the same tone as {Let Me Be Your Man} from "Stay".And how the original Tempts harmonized on "The Way You Do The Things You Do" in those deep voices, repeating "The Way You Do The Things You Do"just like the newer Tempts did on Stay Til The Morning Baby Rock Me Girl Like I Wanna Rock You.It's sung in the same deep tone.Modern day studios are way better than the old studios,that might be another reason why he said it didn't sound like the Tempts, but it seems like some people don't know that singing in a modern day studio is totally different from singing in a old studio. As time went on studios improved dramatically from the 60's to the 90's and up until today. The newer studios also have better microphones, everything concerning the studio is better today. But anyway, this cd is a must have, the harmony is great, as soon as you put in the cd it's amazing. If you're thinking about buying it, stop thinking and just buy, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Somebody said The original Tempts never sounded better collectively. I disagree, "The Way You Do The Things You Do","Message From A Blackman"from The Puzzle People Album is proof that they did, as well as "Dream Come True",","The Little Drummer Boy","SIlver Bells","I Heard It Through The Grapevine" from the cloud nine album,(turn down your right speaker to just hear the vocals from the left speaker on "I Heard It Through The Grapevine)."Gonna Keep On Tryin Til I Win Your Love" from The Sky's The Limit Album. All of the acapella versions off of the new DVD and especially the acapellas of You're My Everything, Just My Imagination, Cloud Nine and Ball of Confusion prove that there's nothing like The original Tempts. Their version of "You Can Depend On Me" and " I Gotta Know Now", "Try To Remember" , "Hello Young Lovers" and "Psychedelic Shack" live.{Psychedelic shack That's Where It's At- deep voiced harmonies again.} I gotta say You Can Depend On Me again. You Can De, then you hear the bass on "pend", come on, the classic 5 is untouchable, but I respect your opinion.

Temptations forever

outstanding because of Theo.......2004-03-10

This is a wonderful CD due most in part
to the outstanding vocals of Theo Peoples
on Stay, This is My Promise, and If I Give You
My Heart. Although he is not credited on this
CD for his contributions his efforts should not
go unnoticed. He is my favorite Temptation and
now a member of the Four Tops. If you ever have
a chance to see him in concert don't pass it up.

Love it from beginning to end.......2003-10-03

This is a great album. I've always loved the Temptations and this CD does not disappoint.

A fitting hodgepodge of Temptations styles.......2003-07-09

Released to coincide with the Otis Williams' book, as well as the highly rated NBC biopic, "Phoenix Rising" is an appropriate title for an album that, like the mythical bird, represents a re-emergence of the legendary group. With Williams as the only surviving member of the original quintet, by the time of the album's 1998, many feel that the "Temps" glory days were behind them.

Boy, were (and are) they wrong!

The disc has enough of the "old" and enough of the "new" to satisfy old school purists and R & B novices.

The album begins with a forty-four second "interlude" entitled "Hereafter" that allows the respective voice parts to shine. Following that is the hit "Stay", a song that pays tributes to the group's roots. "False Faces", cut #3, has an 80's feel about it while the fourth track, "How Could He Hurt You" is as contemporary as anything by R. Kelly or Brian McKnight.

"This is My Promise" is the stuff that weddings are made of.

Other strong cuts are the Freddie Jackson-sounding "If I Give You My Heart", the funky "My Love", and the heavenly "Just Like I Told You".

Amazon.com

"Heatwave," the funk-flavored track on the 1999 compilation Source Rocks, suggested Phoenix were another product of the French-filtered disco wave. However, United is suffused with breezy, retro-flavored rock numbers. Keyboard player and guitarist Branco was in Darlin--the indie act that spawned Daft Punk--but if they went one way, he surely went the other. United is reminiscent of West Coast American FM pop rock, with nods to everyone from Crosby Stills Nash & Young to "Jump"-era Van Halen. The thrilling "Too Young" and swooning "On Fire" are rattling good pop songs that fall on the right side of affectionate pastiche. "Summertime" is an enthusiastic power pop thrash, "Embuscade" a Steely Dan-styled jazz rock instrumental, and "Summerdays" a carefree country-tinged trip to the beach. Refreshing, intelligent and successful French rock--now that is a first. --Mike Pattenden

Customer Reviews:

A weird mix between rock, pop and dance music - this is actually kind've good if you're a pop fan, but most people won't like it.......2006-01-07

Pheonix is weird mix of rock and dance music which are both present occasionally. Most of the album is pretty catchy albeit cheesy and a guilty pleasure (I don't think you would show this album to your friends - see songs like "On Fire" especially), so at least there's something to hold your interest. Thomas Mars has a relatively pleasant voice, but he will definitely alienate some people as he's distinctly poppy (as opposed to, say, Nada Surf's singer who is poppy but still manages to be very likable). There are no bad songs here (though they're all forgettable), even if a couple of them are just "alright". There's a hint of 70's disco in some of these songs, especially the beginning of "Embuscade". "Definitive Breaks" is really the only song on the album that MOST people will like. The lyrics are nothing of interest - they're simply an excuse to have vocals. It's not a bad album - if you like the style and singer then you will find that it's simply "good". Pop fans might like this. Slighty recommended.

Highlights include:
"School's Rules"
"Too Young"
"On Fire"
"Definite Breaks"
the rest are pretty decent

Everyone who ever hears "Too Young" wants a copy.......2005-10-21

Phoenix is the band with a stupid name whose creativity is not further delimited by the stupid title ("United") of this collection of infectious pop songs.

The stand out song here is "Too Young" clocking in at three minutes and nineteen seconds of pure pop bliss with a nearly percussive organ part that drives the back beat and recalls the early work of Steve Nieve in "The Attractions." The lead guitar is a tight funky riff that is nearly lo-fi, while the drum parts themselves are executed on a small kit but are a deceptively intricate combination of a shuffle and disco beat, that serve as an alternate lead. The only instruments tying together these competing forces are a some long slow chime strokes of a steel string acoustic rhythm guitar part and a bass part straight out of the power pop song book.

The vocals on "Too Young" are the standout: pure garage band sounds that cross "The Archies" with a sober Paul Westerberg.

The rest of the album makes for an effective selection of cross genre efforts that show off the band's versatility and taste, but nothing else really matches the standout single here.

I feel dirty!.......2005-05-10

When I heard this album I felt violated, but not in a good way... it conjured thoughts of seedy 70's night clubs with tight leather pants being the compulsory dress code...

TRULY a work of genius.......2005-03-06

This album is the greatest thing to emerge in music in the past 5 years. Phoenix is by far THE BEST pop-rock-tronica group out there. Pick up "United" now.

United.......2004-11-05

This is definitely one of my favorite albums of all time.
As a dj, I Discovered it like many others trough the single 'If I Ever Feel Better' who was remixed by the big names of French House.
It is the perfect CD to listen at home while having a drink with friends or alone.
If I Ever Feel Better, Too Young and Honeymoon are 80s style melancholic electro-pop masterpiece, while some tracks like 'School Rules'are more on the rock edge.
Funky Squaredance is the secret highlight of the album for me, three songs in one.
I was also very surprised to see that Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk, Stardust, Roule and Irreversible) was playing keyboards for the band.
A must-buy!

While the inclusion of novelty songster Weird Al Yankovic (here with "Polkamon") and new-waver all-stars the B-52's (here with the playful "The Chosen One") sharpens the proceedings with their individual visions, most of the performers here have been coached by producer David Foster or other music industry veterans. Most successful is former disco diva Donna Summer, who emerges with the dramatic tune "The Power of One," which sneakily includes the Pokémon theme featured throughout the film. Twelve-year-old Alysha may be a burgeoning teen star with her surprisingly mature interpretation of "Dreams." The emphasis is on the current teen-pop trend. Dream Street, Christian boy band Plus One, and O-Town (the band documented in ABC's TV series Making the Band) all serve up the prescribed recipe for success: swooning harmonies, Hallmark-card lyrics, and near-operatic melodies designed for radio. You expected a movie starring Pokémon to miss a trend? C'mon. --Rob O'Connor

Great for Pokémon fanatics.......2006-02-23

Every song on this CD is great for anyone who loves Pokémon and understands how awesome the games are.

LOUSY.......2006-01-08

I'll review each track:

1. Power of One - First track to use the word "one" in its name. Utterly slow. Hey Donna Summer, what happened to disco? 2/10

2. Dreams - Utterly slow. Hey Alysha, you're two years older than me. 1/10

3. They Don't Understand - Utterly bad. Just so you know, Dream Street is broken up. Thus, no more of their whiny songs like this. 1/10

4. Wonderland - Utterly bad and slow. Hey Angela Via, wrong movie soundtrack. 0/10

5. With All Your Heart - Utterly slow. One of the last ever boy bands. When 2001 ended, boy bands died. 1/10

6. So generic, I don't feel like typing in its name. 0/10

7. Flying Without Wings - Utterly slow. If you want Irish bands, check out the Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly and the Tossers instead. 1/10

8. Pokemon World - Utterly bad. If you're a fan of Youngstown and Nobody's Angel.. you'll still hate this. 0/10

9. Blah Blah Blah - Utterly okay. Who the hell are these people? 4/10

10. Polkamon - Utterly AWESOME! 8/10

11. The Chosen One - Utterly AWESOMER! Also, second track to use the word "one" in its name. 10/10

12. One Heart - Third track to use the word "one" in its title. 0/10

13. One - No, I'm not kidding about this. Its name is "one". 0/10

14. Comin' To - Wow, actual beats. 5/10

15. No. 1/10

16. Legend - Good. 7/10

Grade: 41/160: F-

If you purchase this album, remember to keep tracks 1, 2, 4, 6 and 13 VERY seperated, otherwise, you'll never them them apart. Same for 5, 7, and 14.

Mom and Dad approved.......2005-10-15

My Pokemon-obsessed ten year-old borrowed this CD three times at the library. When the renewals were used up I decided to order it for his collection.

What surprised me about this CD was that the whole family didn't mind listening to it over and over in the car. I have a short tolerance level for Pokemon. But this CD has some strong "power ballads", cute pop tunes and the very entertaining Weird Al Polka (everybody Polka mon-get it?) The song "Blah, Blah, Blah" humorously addresses all of the adults who don't understand the obsession.

The production values are good too. Some children's CD's have second rate orchestrations, digital mastering, etc. This is a professional recording.

I only like one song, the rest sucks!.......2005-09-04

"Polkamon" by Weird Al is the only song I like on any Pokemon album. In fact, I think it is the only thing that has anything to do with Pokemon that I really care about anymore. Well, I'll be honest, the game isn't too bad, but the anime is laughably awful, and don't even get me started on the card game. But anyway, I would love Al to re-release "Polkamon" on some collection of rarities in the future. However, other than that, I can't stand the music on here at all. I used to own it, but I tossed it.

It's OK, but could be better.......2005-09-02

It has less top-notch songs compared with the first CD (Pokemon: The First Movie).
