Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

the Before And After review.......2003-12-22

BEFORE:
While she had just recently crossed over to pop-charts the previous year with More Love and her duet with Kenny Rogers, Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer (both of which are bonus tracks here), raspy-voiced Kim Carnes was a seasoned pro. Having written songs for the likes of Barbra Streisand. However, she hadn't yet really had the breakout smash she'd dreamed of yet.

AFTER:
BETTE DAVIS EYES!!! The song spent 9 weeks at #1 on the Billboard chart. The parent album also was a chart-topper. While she'd been around nearly 15 years at this point and was in her mid-30's, Kim Carnes seemed like an overnight sensation. The hits didn't just stop here. She also had hit singles with the trippy new-wave Draw Of The Cards (in my book, one of the weirdest videos ever, VH1 Classic airs it occasionally) and the AC-ish title track.

Kim Carnes is a very underrated artist, and while Bette Davis Eyes was an almost overwhelming success... it's not the only thing she ever did. The other 9 tracks on the album show how eclectic the raspy-voice blonde was. Ranging from rock to country to adult contemporary to even Kraftwerk-ish style new wave.. Kim briefly reached the top of the mountain. Unfortunately the fact she never could duplicate BDE's success became her eventual undoing as a pop star.

This album is almost a self-serving Greatest Hits when considered the bonus tracks. All of the bonus tracks were hits too, More Love, Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer, Voyeur, Invisible Hands, Crazy In The Night, etc... Making it an essential 80's album.

Really enjoyed this unusual CD.......2007-01-05

I don't know Burnett but really liked this CD. It is thought provoking and also satisfying musically.

Middle age, white, goofy-looking Texan guy raps (and rocks!).......2006-11-21

You probably will not like this album when you first listen to it.

I didn't.

... and I literally own every record he's ever made. No kidding.... everything. I'm a huge T-Bone fan and have been since his Alpha Band days.

But this album is different than anything he's done before. Heck, it's different than anything I've ever heard before.

It's kind of genre-bending... it strikes me as either a kind of Texan folk rap or maybe it's just one of the best poetry slams ever. But it's not really folk music and it's not really rock and roll. He doesn't sing a melody in most of the songs... he raps. But this isn't hip-hop rap -- it's white guy rap.

Like with most innovative music, it took me awhile to figure out what he was even trying to do. It doesn't help that I don't really like most rap, because I like a melody to my music.

But I do like a good bluesy jam sessions and he does a lot of that behind his "rapping." Don't think normal rap, though. Burnett isn't trying at all to pretend he's a gangsta rapper -- not that he ever could pull it off!

Instead he "raps" about middle age liberal white guy stuff. Well, that me! So after a bunch of listenings, I figured out the album and now I really like it. It's not my favorite, all-time Burnett album but it is better than his average.

I am deducting one star because -- well -- this is simply not a five star album. Pioneering and brilliant? Yes. An all-time classic? No.

(I should add that my six year old daughter likes it too! I have no idea why. She also likes Raffi.)

So, should you buy this album?

If you're looking for "comfort zone" folk, rock and roll or even rap, you should probably look elsewhere.

If you're a free thinker and looking for something different and innovative -- then this is a CD for you. Who knows? This might be the start of a whole new genre of music and you can say you were on the first floor of the movement.

Grammys - best album (CD)yes0.......2006-11-14

this is potent for an artist who says "i am not important".all Burnett's music has been astounding & important to many (who are comfortable in their own "skin-teeth or otherwise).excellent writing-musicianist-wonderful & think about it songs.I qoute him in everyday speech.Great."Fear Country" & "Paradise are so far the ons I play often.there is no better songwriter in the country in an era of dull w/ the exception of Dylan & Morrison sporadically.Best CD-of thje years in the Grammys-I voted long ago when ya could deny anythin' ya said-I'll stick w/ the T B works.

11th Commandment.......2006-09-13

T-Bone Burnett shares a place with a handful of artists who have strong and devoted followings, but whose music is perhaps too thoughtful to sell huge quantities. Quality is often more important that quantity. Burnett burns on his new set. My favorite track is "Seven Times Hotter Than Fire" with its driving electric guitar and the mesmerizing tromp of T-Bone's burning footsteps, "If I was dead & buried in the cold hard ground, I would rise from the grave & come & track you down." Another favorite is "Baby Don't You Say You Love Me" with a similar tribal beat pulsing and T-Bone's voice emotionally raw, "Every day you haunt me, first you hex me then you taunt me, then you leave me in this twisted misery." These tunes rank with his best work. From T-Bone's early days with the B-52 Bombers to the Alpha Band, T-Bone has pushed the limits with experimentation. On "Blinded by the Darkness" we experience Burnett's talk-sing as the guitars create a wall of chaos in the way he views the current political landscape, "Shouldn't sin be left to the laws of God & to the laws of nature; Can we trust this to the legislature." Similarly on "Every Time I Feel the Shift" Burnett talk-sings his frustrations about popular culture's shallow nature that could forget an 11th Commandment, had there been one. When Burnett rocks as he does on "Zombieland" & "Palestine Texas," his music is cutting edge. "The True False Identity" is an excellent set. Set against the backdrop of his classic catalog, it may shine slightly less. However, on its own merits, it's worth the exploration. Enjoy!

5 stars, 5 times over!.......2006-07-19

"Disappointed" wrote a review giving 1 star after listening only twice? C'mon buddy, I wasn't sure of it after 2 listens either - give it a go. Quite a few listens later, my opinion of this wonderful recording is that it's stupendously good. Highly sophisticated musicianship, amazingly detailed and layered production, every song full of interesting sounds, melodies, rythyms and thoughts. Some rasping, blues-fuelled steamrollers live amongst these songs. Other tracks, just as arresting provide the space to breathe again. The closing song "Shaken Rattled And Rolled" sounds like an awakening disguised as a lament. This is exhilarating stuff and I don't expect there will be a better album in 2006. As classic as Bob Dylan's "Time out of Mind".

The second volume of the master Warner Bros. cartoon composer's work downplays the head-spinning montage of the first in favor of just-as-head-spinning complete scores. They aren't from the studio's best-known cartoons but from some of Stalling's most impressive tempo-warping, all-systems-go pieces, augmented by a few mini-pieces that illustrate the way he could transform barely familiar show tunes and classical themes into wild, rubbery jokes. Even without images, Stalling could make an orchestra suggest a "Flea-Ridden Sheep Dog" in 24 seconds flat and run enough changes on Stephen Foster's "Camptown Races" to match every mood in a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon. The head-snapping reversals of his scores anticipate much later avant-garde music. --Douglas Wolk

The Carl Stalling Project Vols 1 & 2.......2007-01-11

Are the names Mel Blanc, I. Freleng or Chuck Jones familiar to you? Then you will get a charge out of these albums as they remind you of Warner Brothers cartoons you saw. I even used these albums instead of "spooky music" for the trick-or-treaters at Halloween, and got appreciative comments from the parents who recognized the music. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Better Stalling's CD.......2006-05-09

As well as Stalling Project Part I, These recordings are more modern fidelity, less classic and more musical techniques. The improvisations appreciate me more than Part I. I like all tracks especially one from "Zoom and Bored" Salute Maestro!!!!

The Carl Stalling Project Volume 2.......2005-09-12

More music from Warner Brother Cartoons 1936 to 1958.
Carl Stalling was one of the foremost composers of music for cartoons and wrote virtually all of the scores for Warner Brothers cartoons from 1936 to 1958. This is a compilation of some complete soundtracks and other snippets. In my opinion, this disk is not quite as well done as "The Carl Stalling Project Volume I."

A nice follow up.......2003-03-09

I really did like the slice-and-dice format of the first disc : I think it helped keep that cartoon zaniness without the visuals. I would recommend both volumes - I listen to them alot while I'm programming!

Now, every time I watch cartoons, I listen to the music!.......2001-08-07

Carl Stalling. We all know who he is, but we don't know that we know. Who is he? The guy who did cartoon background music for Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies for more than 20 years, that's who. Maybe you're thinking, "Oh, come on! Cartoon background music??! How good could something so trivial be?!" The answer to that question is.. VERY. Very entertaining. I just love Carl Stalling's great "scores". When you take away the context of it's being CARTOON music and just sit and listen to the damn thing, it's WONDERFUL music in and of itself! He goes from violins and a piano playing "agitato" simultaneously to a single oboe note and back again in five seconds. Not only that. He does that and, as random as it may sound, he mannages to segue it together beautifully. Now, every time I watch cartoons, the thing I pay most attention to is what aural miracles Mr. Stalling sneaked in. Maybe, after listening to this, you will too. If anything will change after you listen to this, it would be that you'll never think of cartoon music as trivial again........That's a GOOD thing.

Shelby Lynne wrote, sang, produced, and played all the guitar parts on her mellow, moody, and sonically stripped-down eighth album, Identity Crisis. Surely the title ironically refers to Lynne's eclectic career itself rather than this slow-burning, excellent album, with its lyrics so personal and honest, one feels like a voyeur at times. Identity sounds like a living room session; the demos made for the big album before the hot-shot producer came in and ruined everything. Lynne's voice is as relaxed, assured, and richly emotive as ever, buoyed by acoustic bass and guitars, electric piano, and minimal percussion. Notable deviations from the candlelit vibe include the mid-tempo rocker "Gotta Be Better" (which sounds like PJ Harvey jamming with X), the gospel chorus that peaks through on "10 Rocks" (the record's sole hokey tune), and of course "Lonesome" (a gorgeous old school Nashville-sheen tune that expertly evokes Patsy and Kitty with multi-tracked vocals and sweeping strings). The story goes that a lengthy phone conversation with Willie Nelson led to the lovely, uplifting last tune, "One With The Sun." Which is cool, because if this album is reminiscent of anybody, it's Nelson ca. Red Headed Stranger --Mike McGonigal

Comes across as anything but an identity crisis.......2006-12-21

Identity Crisis comes across as anything but an identity crisis, instead finding Shelby Lynne in top form, focused, and sounding great. OK, maybe the crisis here is that Ms. Lynne runs the gamut from raging rock `n roll to laid back introspection and whatever else lies in between.

Her voice is strong and clear, and her accompanying crew of musicians is clearly on board with her vibe and vision.

I cannot see any value in offering a play-by-play recap of the songs here: just take the time to give this one a few listens and you can supply your own adjectives. Most of them will be quite positive, I suspect.

Treasure-Trove.......2005-04-30

"Identity Crisis" is a good set from Shelby Lynne. The diversity of musical approaches makes the title appropriate. "Gotta Be Better" is an excellent track with some blazing electric lead that lashes the speakers & Lynne's infectious vocals, "And did you ever think you'd ever walk on hallow ground? Don't you like to think that things are lost & never found? Discover all the secrets & head out for the sound. Did you hear the voice that makes your fever?" "I'm Alive" also has a delightful rocking groove, "Oh if I don't get you back, I'll cover up my bloody tracks with sorrow, hopes & hide my dying pride." The dreamy Shelby Lynne does Nick Drake track "If I Were Smart" communicates a soft gentle sadness that Shelby fills exquisitely. "Telephone," "10 Rocks" & "Baby" are all great tracks. With "Suit Yourself" about to hit the market, "Identity Crisis" is still a treasure-trove. Enjoy!

What a GOOD album this is...........2005-03-07

Wow, what a nice surprise. It's the Shelby Lynne album I been waiting for. This album rocks, swoons, gets down like your'e in church, and then some....

Shelby does what she pleases n this album, and it shows. She sounds comfortable with each song, and sounds like she's having fun singing them. A nice stripped down acoustic approach suits these songs perfectly. I fell in love with the coo of her voice a long time ago, and it's all over this album. She hasn't sounded bettter, vocally as she does here. "One with the Sun" has to be the most beautiful track on here. And "Gotta get better" rocks like nothing else I've heard her do. The churning strumming takes you in right away and really rocks. Amazingly there is little percussion on this album and it seems to work just fine. The introspection of "If I were smart" here she examines a situation of the heart, shows a she can still turn a phrase to get her point across.

Now I'm sorry but I don't understand the review calling "10 Rocks" hokey. It's a great song. Why can't Shelby Lynne do a gospel shuffle? Lyle Lovett can and no one says anything. In any event she shows that she has the ability to pull it off.

This album shows the many facets of an amazing artist. An eclectic collection of songs make up a strong, cohesive work. Her talents shine here. The best part is that she produced and played the guitar parts herself. It was as if, to make a really good Shelby Lynne record, she had to do it herself. Good for her! It worked!

(Personally I'd like to hear her re-do "Love Shelby" to sound as pure as this record does. There were some really great songs on that album that could use a personal touch.)

One night on PBS I heard a girl named michelle shocked doing a country blues set and went out and bought it, at a time when buying a CD meant something, only buying the ones that I thought I would listen to for forever. And I did, for quite a while, the southern style and interesting takes were refreshing. Oddly enough, there is alot of similiar sounds on this CD by Shelby, who I have enjoyed through all her hair color changes. I really thought the previous albums gave a more original, listen to me and throw your head back songs.

Call me Ms. Lynne.......2004-12-22

The first time I saw Shelby Lynne she was on some award show with Sheryl Crow several years ago. She was out singing her and sexier and trashier and all that. She was kicking [...] and Crow was like she always was, pretty flat singing but technically great of course and rather dull. Back then Shelby was more Gretchen Wilson than Gretchen Wilson is now. Then I went out and bought that album with Shelby on the front in cutoffs and all tanned and blonde. Love, Shelby. Yes, sir. The cover was a lot better than the music, I thought.
Then awhile back I saw this woman on television. The Directv screen said it was Shelby Lynn. No, it wasn't. Shelby Lynne was that singer who looks like the most attractive single mother in that bar across the street from the Chrysler Plant, cigarette in hand, and she bends over a pool table.
The woman Directv said was Shelby Lynne looked like an androgynous Bell Hop in a fancy New York hotel. That couldn't be Shelby!
There was no tan on this woman. Her hair was white, not blonde. What a transition! But then I bought Identity Crisis. What an album! It blew that cheap-o album produced by Mr. Morrisette,( what's his name?) out of the water.
Shelby's transition was probably less a fear of skin cancer than the types of crowds she was drawing. (Hey, boys! Shelby's up there! Got some chew?)
This album brings Ms. Lynne to the place she should be. Bluesy, and country. Shades of Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline and even a little Buddy Guy.
Shelby's identity crisis is our musical windfall. This is a textured, brilliantly understated album that shows just how talented Shelby is. She goes back to her roots or maybe just discovers her roots. 6 stars. (But does she really say Flo for floor?)

Album Description

Their 2nd album, released in 2000, defines the sound that Thrice is striving for-the dynamics and emotion of hardcore with the melody and harmony of pop-punk. The 12-track CD has a little something for everyone, ranging from the harmonies of 'In Your Hands', to the pseudo-metal 'Torch to End All Torches', to the post-hardcore feel of 'To What End'. Sub City Records.

Amazing for a low budget album.......2006-08-17

Identity Crisis is my favorite Thrice ablum. Yes it is not as tight and polished than those that followed but that is not due to the band. This album is plagued by crappy production and obviously was recorded by someone who didnt care about the album. In interviews with thrice they are quoted as say the guy who recorded Identity was "more interested in play video games than recording music." With some recording knowledge I completely agree with this statement. If the engineer/producer gave a crap Identity Crisis would have been Illusions of Saftey a year earlier. T & C, Identity Crisis, Ultra Blue, and As the Ruin Falls are the best tracks altough all are great.

Thrice times champion! Wicked Album.......2006-06-24

This is their most gooderest album yet. It doesn't have the best song writting in all but it is their most punkiest album and every song kicks butt. If you like punk, pick this up, if not, pick up all their others. Slow and emotional but the song writting in those albums is phenominal. Up to u. Anyways, this CD rules and you should by it this second. Great album thrice!

Not very tight, but AMAZING!.......2006-03-09

I first heard "To What End" on a compilation a while back and was amazed but also positive that the rest of their music couldn't possibly be as great. Up to that point I had heard so few punk songs (I'm not going to play the genre game- call them screamo or whatever if you want, but if bands like Sum 41 can be called punk I certainly think Thrice can too) that were as meaningful and well written as that song, and I assumed that it was them at their best and would be found on an album full of medicore filler tracks. When I eventually obtained a copy of Identity Crisis I found out just how wrong I was.

I won't say that this is Thrice at their best, but its damn close. Thrice's later work was much more tight than this but I have to say that I really don't mind the guitar solos being all over the place and the lack of song structure. On the one hand its usually a sign of a band lacking maturity to lack a tight structure but in Thrice's case their lyrics and general songwriting do a lot of negate this impression. At the very least it kept things interesting. While in many ways Thrice was playing punk music, their not using the verse/chorus formula along with their use of guitar solos definately contributed to making this more memorable than most punk albums. Generic three cord punk rock this is not.

But more importantly than the structure of the songs or the genre was the songs themselves: they were simply some of the best written songs out there: the opening track with its soft verses and shouted choruses, "T & C" with its great guitar intro, "Ultra Blue"'s guitar work, and a "Torch to End All Torche" and "To What End"'s lyrics. Meaningful lyrics, great music backing it up, and a sound that stands apart not only from other Thrice CD's but from most other punk/posthardcore/screamo- a more than worthy first (full length at least as far as I know) effort.

Now for the bad news. There's isn't much, mostly just the above mentioned lack of song structure which unfortunately makes it sound less mature, but perhaps thats just because people have come to associate tight songs with mature musicianship. The songs also might sound like an early effort because of the contrast between this album's production and that on their later releases. Thats not fair to Thrice, and in the end it doesn't really take anything away from this release. This is essentially Thrice playing punk rock with some hardcore influences which makes it sound more primitive than the post-hardcore sound of later Thrice but which, like the production, doesn't take anything away from this release's quality. A few of the songs are also somewhat weak, for example "A Torch to End All Torches" doesn't get really good until the end. The first part is a sort of generic punk song but then its slows down and after a fairly long instramental Dustin comes back with a completely different sounding ending and lyrics that are as Christian as you can get without sounding overbearing, though its possible that those unfamiliar with Christian imagery won't even recognize it (but "by his grace I am sustained" gave it away for me). A few others aren't quite as amazing as some of the above mentioned ones, though none of them are bad or worthy of skipping.

This was the first Thrice CD I ever heard so I can't say how fans who have heard newer Thrice first will react but at the very least they will like if they don't love it like I do. Its good music, do yourself a favor and buy it.

I love their playfulness, their jumping from Maiden like guitars to punk back to early Metallica. All this in an own way, the Thrice way. the singing gives me the goose bumps and the energy kicks me. I just love it. You have to BUY that album, you have to have an original!

Simpatiko makes a review :).......2006-08-10

This is my first review so hey to all music lovers! I stumbled on Delta with her "Lost Without You" single. She sucked me in like quicksand, the honesty she portrays in her voice and look got my interest and it grew into a relationship between me and her beautiful music. I found out about the second album when I got back from the army (for which I volunteered a year early) browsing the net. I have the Innocent Eyes album and I wanted to get my hands on Mistaken Identity but it's not available in my country, not commercial enough :(L
I downloaded the album over shareaza and it's grown on me very much, like a theme for my life experiences.
Mistaken Identity review:
1. Out Of The Blue = The first single starts of like a gentle breeze and then builds up on the tempo. You feel a plunge when she says "Out of the blue", like somebody unplugged the sync, her vocals start rushing like bubbly water! She is secretive as to who the person generating energy and uncontrollable emotions is... The video is unusual though, everything sets on fire! A good song, but it's just a cherry toping the great sweet surprise that is this album! (26)
2. The Analyst = Great piano kick start draws attention! It's about analyzing, going back in time, something in the human nature that is a pattern for most people, the skeptic in us. I like the line:
"Can you be sure we haven't met see the eyes they don't forget, they wander through the passage-ways that tease a restless mind".
A wise in-lighting song that creates enchantment with the mystery of it, voices whispered. We can't resist putting everything in question, what is, and why is. Kind of a wake up song, she sings of her self in the third person. (44)
3. Mistaken Identity = This is about Delta not coming to peace with the changes her cancer brought. I find it appealing `cause I've had a similar experience. The part pin pointing the message is the stanza:
"The sun likes to rise and the moon likes to fall
And that's kind like my life
Now I've played the role of the nice girl next door
Who gets cut like a knife!
Now I'm not looking for apology eyes,
And I don't want to spend a night on a bed of beautiful lies
Erase and rewind leave that sick girl behind,
And fast forward, fast forward"
Saying she's aware of her condition, but she won't let it define the way she carries on about herself, don't give me those looks, don't make me feel that way, that's not me, don't mistake us! This song certainly helped me coming home from the operation and facing the family more bravely! Nice one Delta! (26)
4. Sanctuary = Also cancer related, the song is about finding some stability in a world a new harsh reality made a mess of, there is someone with all the strength we need and a warm caring heart that understands and gives comfort. An ok song. (18)
5. A Little Too Late = Now this is refreshing! Sort of juvenile but the topic of such fine feelings and Deltas innocent juicy voice gives the song a premise that is adorable and incredibly true! It stands off from the other songs, its light and uplifting like it was taken from the Innocent Eyes album. I don't know if there was a video, but I found out it was a single. (42)
6. Be Strong = This starts off breezy like Out Of The Blue but goes on more interesting. It creeps into you as she starts to get more intense with the verses. It's a tribute to anyone who's had it rough, anyone who's been broken and thought of giving up. Getting up after a blow is not easy but it evokes a change in the way we see things, we get up more prepared and face difficulties with strength we renewed from the experience. Gets a strong point across. (39)
7. Last Night On Earth = Maters of the heart. The piano trade mark at the beginning, but as the song progresses Delta steers an interesting course! I see a whole movie listening to this song and it's such a great love story. Big words like:
"I'm gonna love you like it's the last night on EARTH", and
"Let's knock down the walls of IMMORTALITY" give this song an edge that's overstepping all worldly limitations, like time, space, and mater. Love is the prevailing power! (53)
8. Almost Here (Ft. Brian McFadden) = Delta in a duet!? Ain't that somethin'. I was intoxicated with this song by my mum. Every time the video came on, she would pump up the volume, how could I miss it? I feel tingles when Deltas vocals come in, it's the high point of the song, she comes in like an angel and saves this song. They make a good couple and I guess they were just that. The song leaves a great memory to look back on a relationship. (31)
9. Miscommunication = Ouuuhh... What a great vibe!! I like to think this song is part two for the one before, explaining the cause to the end of a love affair. It's definitely about a relationship going sour. Everybody can relate to this song, miscommunication is a bump you eventually hit on the road. Her ouuhhing at the end of the song gives me goose-pumps. It's cool! (47)
10. Electric Storm = This comes as an explosion! I mean WOW! What a knocker this track turned out to be! Such power in her voice! The Electric Storm is a turbulent relationship. Fantastic lyrics and the way Delta delivers her vocals over a great piano layer strike like lightening! The song carries a strong meaningful message of heartache. Everything in this song fits and makes sense, its perfect! (56)
11. Extraordinary Day = This song is so amazing! I fear that putting it into words will take away the beauty of it! It takes over me with a haunting feeling of regret, deep sadness and a sent of death. It's my favorite track because she's pouring out her soul, July the 8th is when Delta found out about her cancer and started facing it. I was surprised at how well she stitched her emotions into words and with how much pain this song is drenched with. I've been in a life threatening situation so I can identify...
"...And I feel this isolated".
The sincerity of it gets you, you can feel the emotions build up, and tears come as the song progresses... Truth is best! I will love this song forever! (66)
12. Fragile = This song is a prime example of the piano's ability to deliver the most sensitive Hyman emotion - vulnerability. The vocal is charming and loveable, it just gets you in the right place. Eyes are the doors to the soul and Delta is open doors about feeling fragile, feeling alone, feeling not that strong, feeling vulnerable. I never get tired of this song. (56)
13. Disorientated = Delta has such an irresistibly cute vocal here that it wins you over immediately! She manages to give diversity to every song, and she put a great twist on this one! It makes me get up, jump and spin around the room with arms wide open, makes me feel good about being disorientated which I am most of the time! We weren't all born with a map of what to do and be in life so it's ok to be disorientated, being young is going for us! Everything comes in its time. (48)
14. You Are My Rock = Deltas thank you song to her brother for being there in moments of weakness. The piano does justice to the song. You get the drift of what's it like to be in her shoes, and how much hawing an understanding, helpful brother means. The rock symbolizing the stability he brought. A cruel, sharp ending though: "We all need someone until we die". (23)
15. Nobody Listened = Girl's gone wild! The song is right in your face about the lows of her cancer experience! I like it when she screams! The piano gallops around her voice and the whole song gives you a hot-cold exposure! It's a sister song to "Extraordinary Day" topics wise, but it cuts both ways. You'll get the message loud and clear, and once the song is over you can breathe again. (40)

I found three tracks from Delta "Lost For Words", "Never Fades Away" and "Love", which are not from the first, or the second album. There's also a live version of the song "Together We Are One" which she performed at the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony, she penned it with Brian McFadden and Guy Chambers. All GREAT songs!
Lost For Words = Starts dreamy, the piano kicks in gently and Delta just takes it away like a musical magician. What can I say, I'm lost for words here J I really like this song very much "Life is such a wonderful thing, you just never know what life can bring" as Delta says. I imagine everybody close to me being in my audience as I join Delta on the lyrics. Thankfully they are only there in my imagination, my voice is of course deeper than Deltas so... Enough said ;) (58)
Never Fades Away = This girl sleeps on the piano, and when she wakes up she plays, very beautifully I might say. Arrangement of a Delta song, stereotypical piano. "Love is like a song it never fades away". She wanted to say something powerful but that just doesn't cut it for me. The song has the makings of a power ballad. Her voice goes high and low and than fades away as the song comes to an end. (32)
Love = Daugh. It's about love, love for your family which is always there, while boys come and go. It's a nice song, childish, uplifting. Delta sang this at 14 so no wonder it ends with "What is love..." I think of my little sister and how much I love her, Dunja here's thinking of you ;) (35)
Together We Are One (live) = Deltas come a long way! This is a powerful song! She penned some great verses here:
"Find your guiding inspiration in a place where dreams are made
With a lifetime's preparation, it's no time to be afraid,
Put our differences behind us while we're shining like the sun,
See what we've all become, together we are one". The crowd is singing with her, if only I was there to cheer for her... A standing ovation for this one Delta! (39)

The numbers in brackets are winamp's count of how many times I played the song. It's within three weeks from when I downloaded the tracks.
I hope I didn't over do it. It's just hard to say less when there is so much about her worth mentioning. Maybe I get her so much because I'm just a month older than her.
Thanks for the time of day.
Enjoy music, it makes life more beautiful!

Delta Rocks!.......2006-07-08

This is a great album from my fav artist. Best song on it is Mistaken Identity, and even after about a year and a bit, I still listen to it. I also like Last Night On Earth and Electric Storm, which are both fantastic. Highly Recommended.

Ditch Mr McFadden, Delta!.......2006-06-01

This charming lady may be very beautiful and have a wonderful voice, but by this stage of her career she had fallen in with the odious Mr McFadden from Boyzone. Unfortunately, his influence can be seen in this somewhat disappointing follow up to Innocent Eyes. I've a good mind to deduct Miss Goodrem some stars to teach her a lesson, but I can't bring myself to do it.

Simply Excellent.......2006-03-29

First of all, Delta Goodrem is one of the best female vocalists of our time. The compelation of her beautiful vocals, solid lyrics, and exquisite melodies make the CD excellent. If you loved her first CD (Innocent Eyes), you will definatly love this one just as much. If you've never heard her before, I'd say its worth the gamble to buy this, especially if you enjoy psuedo pop/contemporary music.

Vernon Reid really likes noise!.......2006-03-15

Actually that title line I've used is somewhat of a quote. It was Martin Popoff - reviewer extraordinaire - that made the point that Reid really likes noise while reviewing a Living Colour album (Type from memory).

Anyway, since I thought Living colour were totally awesome in a range of ways when the chance came to pick this up cheap I leapt at it.

Which proves the adage - always look before you leap!

This is nonsense. It's worse than nonsense because nonsense might be funny. This isn't. Get yourself a drill and drill a hole through the door of your car. The scraping and screaming sounds will give you an idea of what this CD will sound like if you unleash it on your stereo. Beyond experimental into just plain pathetic.

Right down to the cover - and as for the fold out it is 20% Living Colour style and 80% like some first year graphic designer did it on a computer he didn't know how to use. And as for the stuff actually written on it? Try "To God in all manifestations I deeply bow". No problem with the sentiment on my part - but what on earth would someone put that on their album for? Or how about the credits? Vernon Reid: Guitars both real and imagined, whispering.

Luckily many years later he went back to LC and they gave us a great reunion/comeback disc that swats this gunk aside. Get yourself the entire LC catalogue instead of spending cash on this!

A hidden gem.......2005-12-05

I agree with most of the postings here, although I have a VERY DIFFICULT time finding how anyone could find this cd garbage! This is an INCREDIBLE CD! Vernon loses his mind and combines funk, avant=garde (ornette colemanish) jazz and triphiphop in a way that just gells! While this cd is now 10 years old, I have been playing it and letting folks know about it for at least 9 of those years! (lol) First, DJ Logic shows off his chops on "mistaken identity" where Vernon is understated, yet shows what being a true guitarist/musician is all about. CP Time has segments that make Jimi Hendrix proud. Psychic Friend takes typical rock playing to another level with the odd metered break. AND it gets better from there! If you like living colour, if you like jazz/rock/hiphop/funk, this is a good cd to pick up. IT ROCKS!!!!!!! This is a VERY GOOD CD! VERY GOOD! Reid has chops and shows them. Reid is interested in taking the MUSIC somewhere else, and again, HE SHOWS IT! Reid has many influences which spotlight his depth as a musician/guitarist, and HE SHOWS IT! Enough said!

IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.......2004-12-20

THIS IS THE BEST CD OF 1996. LET ME TRY AND QUALIFY THIS STATEMENT. THIS CD HAS THIS MANY MUSICAL GENRES IN IT: FUNK, JAZZ-FUSION, ROCK, BLUES, WORLD MUSIC, REGGAE, NEW AGE, COMEDY AND SPOKEN WORD. OUT OF 17 SONGS, 13 SONGS RECEIVED A 5 STAR RATING FROM ME. THE REASONS FOR THIS ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE BASS IS BOOMIN'; THE FUNK IS OVERFLOWIN'; THE GUITAR WORK IS BLAZIN'; THE GROOVE NEVER STOPS. AND THE MUSICIANSHIP IS OUTSTANDING. I WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY BY THIS CD, AND YOU WILL BE TOO. UNFORTUNATELY I COULD ONLY GIVE THIS CD 5 STARS. IT REALLY DESERVES 10!!! TAKE IT FROM ME, THIS IS THE BEST CD YOU WILL BUY THIS YEAR OR ANY OTHER YEAR. SATISFACTION IS MOST DEFINITELY GARANTEED.

This album is such garbage,AMAZON's critics didn't rate it.......2004-02-18

Anticipation was high as hell,getting a solo vibe from LIVING COLOUR's axeman VERNON REID,couldn't wait to have my ears blown away by V.R's wicked ways. To make a long story short,I let a friend borrow the CD,I haven't asked for it back. Where was the rest of LIVING COLOUR when Vernon attempted this waste of glass? BISCUITS sounds like a JIMI HENDRIX classic compared to this. Go ahead,diss my review. VERNON REID is still the man (one of my favorite axeman next to JIMI,PRINCE,KENDALL JONES,DR. KNOW,etc...). I just don't know where he is going here...do you?

jazzy fusion metal with mind and soul.......2002-09-07

perhaps not every track is great but what not to like about "you say he's just a psychic friend" (experimental alto sax warbling atop fat, bouncy guitar riffs), "my last nerve" (tense but melodious tone poem), "mysterious power" (tongue in cheek, fun mysticism). Evocative, eclectic, fun.
