The Book of Genesis tells us that God created "the evening and the morning" on the third day. It's hard to say when is the best time to listen to this southern Christian rock act's rousing tunes, though morning is likely the best, as their anthemic alt-rock is filled with enough praise and worship to get even the most jaded listener through the day. In their 11-year recording history, the band has built up a loyal fanbase, won Dove and Grammy awards, and spent innumerable miles on the road. On Chronology, Vol. 1, Third Day looks back at the first half of their career with a dual CD/DVD disc with characteristic generosity. A handful of live and rare numbers round out new mixes of hits like "Forever" and "I've Always Loved You," while two of their most-loved early numbers, "My Hope Is You" and "Thief," have been entirely re-recorded. The DVD is the real meat here, with five early music videos, six live performances from the Dove shows, and excerpts from eight handheld videos made by fans, which all show how hard these guys can kick it. This is no paint-by-numbers best-of, but an awesome tribute that will satisfy devoted fans and the newly curious alike. --Mike McGonigal

4 out of 5 stars XLNT!.......2007-05-15

Let me start off by saying Third Day's Cronology volume 1 is a fantastic dc/dvd! You are definately getting you're money's worth! Not only are you getting an audio cd packed with hitsongs, rarities, and live performances, you're also gonna a dvd full of realy neat stuff! I'd like to tell you a little about the cd first. The audio portian of this package contains 18 tracks, most of whitch are not available elswhere. You get remixes of songs from the band's debut album simply entitled "Third Day" as well as a newly recorded verssion of"Thief" You get stuff from their 2nd 3rd, and 4th albums, as well as previously unreleased live performances of "Black Bird" and "Alien" There's also a newly recorded verssion of "My Hope is You" But wait there's more! You also get tracks from a rare 1999 ep. Still not convinced this a bargin? The dvd features early videos, live performances, and bootleg videos from the early 90s before Third Day was signed to a record deal. But I'm not quite finished yet! There's also audio commentary from the band durring the early videos and the bootlegs. So there you have it! everything that comes in this wonderful package. I think that Chronology vol 1 is an outstanding retrospective on Third Day's early, as well as an absolute bargin for the price even if you pay fullprice. Trust me you're getting your $'s worth. PS Be on the lookout for Chronology vol2 release date August 17th 2007 Thanks for reading my review. K C stewart

5 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE!!!.......2007-05-14

If you are a Third Day fan this cd/dvd combo is a MUST HAVE!!! It has some great history about the band and you can watch how they have all grown up together. God has tremendously blessed them, because they have all been faithful to Him. I have really enjoyed this collection.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Compilation for the fans.......2007-04-01

Although I'm a big Third Day fan, I bought this mainly for the DVD stuff and was quite pleased with the overall CD/DVD package (the DVD stuff is great for any fan). In fact, I was pretty shocked at how good this CD was. Before I purchased it, I wasn't excited to hear "remakes" of their old stuff; I have all of their albums on my iPod, so why would I need to hear it again? But I tell you what, I absolutely love the new mixes / remakes. For example, I liked how Thief was from their first album, but it wasn't a favorite of mine...something was missing. The new version of Thief on this CD is exactly what was missing. The new arrangement is what this song needed from day 1. I've listed to that song 5-10 times already while working around the house. And, the other songs are just as good. The mix of remakes, new takes, live ones, and rare ones are worth the investment.

If you're the least bit interested, pick it up...you won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome,Awesome,Awesome.......2007-03-30

I have every Third Day CD, and almost didn't get this one because I figured it didn't have anything new on it. Boy , am I glad I didn't pass this one up! The DVD disc alone is worth the purchase price! And then the new version of Thief is a very nice addition. But I have to say my favorite new song ( which is not new. they recorded it in 1999, but never released it) is "Long Time Coming". That is an awesome song! If you like Third Day ( and who couldn't)You will love this song. And the other new/old song, "She Sings in Riddles", is very good too. This set is almost as good as seeing them live, and in one way it's better - You can put it on any time you want to.

5 out of 5 stars pleasant suprise.......2007-03-28

Ok so I am a fan of Third Day and have every album and have been a regular at their shows when they come to town but lately, I have been HOOKED on Hillsong United "United We Stand". So literally for the past month, that is the only cd I have listened to and today was my first break to listen to Third Day's latest and I can say that for all the songs, the little booklet and the DVD, it is an excellent bargain. Plus I love the new remix of Thief (my personal favorite) and My Hope is You is also a great new remix. This should defintely be in your collection if you are a Third Day fan. I don't know if a newcomer could really appreciate it though. I think that if you were newly introduced to them, one should go with Time & Offerings I & II first and then go back and get their other albums....Conspiracy #5 grew on me but once I finally "got" it, I loved it. Regardless, it is an excellent deal and nice suprises and hilarious video outtakes in the DVD. I don't think it is meant to be funny but I thought the video of Thai's first performance was funny and cute. Mac still looks the same but I reckon he will age nicely. I am so glad that they continue to make music that represents and glorifies God and our Saviour and I will continue to look forward to any Third Day creation in the years ahead!!

5 out of 5 stars One of the finest garage rock sets ever assembled. .......2007-06-07

Along with Nuggets and the Back from the Grave CDs, the first volume of the Essential Pebbles series is one of the greatest purchases that a garage rock fan can make. The two discs that make up this set are crammed full of brainbending mid-60s classics of the highest order. The songs are raw, crude, murderously energetic, and more fun than a roller coaster- in other words, everything that rock 'n' roll is supposed to be.

The first disc of the set is particularly impressive. It cobbles together 29 of the best tracks from the first ten CDs of the long-running Pebbles series, as well as three cuts from Ear-Piercing Punk, an offshoot of the series. These songs are simply astounding. The Preachers' cover of "Who Do You Love" opens the album with a menacing burst of drums, some filthy guitars, and an absurdly thuggish, greasy, mean-as-hell vocal. The Grains of Sand keep the party going with the hyperactive "Going Away Baby," which features an ultra-hip vocal and an organ solo that practically bounces off the walls of the recording studio. The Jujus' "You Treat Me Bad" is as absurd as it is catchy, thanks to its oddly appealing impish vocals and shimmering guitar line. The Haunted's "1-2-5" is a churning, greasy punk rocker with a nasty guitar line and a strutting rhythm section. The Wild Knights' "Beaver Patrol" is pure macho-posturing frat-rock, with a hilariously stupid vocal performance and a grinding R&B sensibility. The Lyrics' "So What" is a furious snarling stomper with some truly mean harmonicas. The Green Fuz's "Green Fuz" may very well be the greatest garage rock song of all time- it's inarticulate, deranged, played without an ounce of professionalism, and catchier than anything you've ever experienced. Crank it up. Teddy & The Patches "Suzy Creamchease" is a hilarious Frank Zappa ripoff with a brutal fuzz guitar onslaught, while T.C. Atlantic's "Faces" is a grooving acid storm with some truly trippy lyrics. William Penn V's "Swami" is a gut-bustingly funny piece of acid-rock-garage with some buzzing guitars and an addictive rhythm. The Tree's "No Good Woman" is a raving three-chord pounder with furious vocals, and the Plague's "Go Away" expands on the wildest aspects of the Kinks' early singles. The Gentlemans' "It's A Crying Shame" is a roaring stomper that begs you to sing along with it, and the Omens' "Searching" is a firestorm of swirling organs and roaring guitars. The Foggy Notions' "Need a Little Loving" is a (relatively) slow burning tune with some awesome, sensual vocals. Dean Carter's "Rebel Woman" is a classic piece of salivating desire, and the Lost Agency's "One Girl Man" is a sneering stomper of the highest order. The Trolls' "Every Night & Every Day" is a catchy three-chorder with some surprisingly funny lyrics. The Starfires' "I Never Loved Her" is quiter than some of the other songs here, but it burns with its own fiery intensity. The Beckett Quintet's "No Correspondance" is a merseybeat popper with a shimmering guitar lick. The Dovers' "She's Not Just Anybody" is just plain astounding, a bewitching slice of Beatles-influenced folk rock with a delicate cascade of guitars and a wistful, haunting vocal. The Hysterics' "Everything's There" has what may be the single filthiest vocal performances in history, and the broken-glass guitar line is icing on the cake. The Good Feelings' "Shattered" is a spacey swirl of keyboards and crunching guitars, while the Breakers' "I Ain't Dead Yet" is a defiant rocker with a rumbling melody. The Uncalled For's "Do Like Me" is one of the catchiest songs ever, a strutting popper that steadily builds in intensity. The Gonn's "Doin' Me In" is another one of those incredble garage rock epiphanies- it's a two chord punk apocalaypse with what can only be described as a gloriously desperate vocal. The Mile Ends' "Bottle Up and Go" is a sneering, dissafected raver, and the Bohemian Vendetta's "Enough" pounds along with a smokey organ riff. Keith Kessler closes out the disc with the surging "Don't Crowd Me." So, yep, every single song on disc 1 is awesome.

Disc 2, meanwhile, brings together a bunch of incredibly rare garage rock tunes that've never been reisuued before. They're not all winners, but there are enough good 'uns (such as the Motifs' "Someday" and the Shays' brilliant "Brainwashed") to make it an excellent listen for both newbies and diehard garage fans alike.

This is one of Garage rock's very finest compilations, a testiment to the power of the music at its best. Nobody who's even remotely interestred in garage shoudl be without this.

5 out of 5 stars Rock n roll insanity!.......2007-04-01

Bringing together some of the rawest, finest, and rarest sixties garage punk pounders ever put to vinyl, The Essential Pebbles Collection is a superb slice of rock and roll obscurity, an endless party of sneery vocals, fuzz guitars, and manic musical genius. The two discs found herin are every bit as wild, weird, and jaw-dropping as the album's cover art.

Disc one of the set is composed of 29 of the best songs from the first 10 CD volumes of the long-running Pebbles series. That means that you get such astoundingly good tracks as The Haunted's greasy frat stomper, "1-2-5," The Omens' barnstorming Farfisa organ workout, "Searching," and "Going Away Baby," a propulsive bit of car-chase mayhem courtesy of the Grains of Sand. Owners of the Nuggets box will be thrilled to hear the contributions from The Dovers and The Gonn, which are every bit as good as the ones found on that revered box set. The former's "She's Not Just Anybody" is a wistful, whispy, and genuinly haunting piece of garage-pop, while the latter's is an explosive two-chord stomper with some awesomely screamed vocals. The Preachers' rendition of the classic "Who Do You Love" is a vicious bit of apocalyptic watusi-fodder, with its caveman vocals and brutal guitar onslaught. William Penn V's "Swami" is a hilarious, catchy psychedelic anthem, with an awesome fuzz guitar break. Best of all is Randy Alvey and the Green Fuz's "Green Fuz," which very well may be the ultimate garage anthem. It's got it all: a dangerously simple guitar riff, bizarro lyrics, and enough catchiness to keep a pop radio station busy for decades (not that they'd ever play this song).

Disc two, on the other hand, is a collection of incredibly rare garage stompers, many of which have never been compiled. Highlights include the Shays' surprisingly intelligent "Brainwashed," the Missing Lynx's wistful, haunting "Hang Around," the Sinner's go-go French rocker "Sinnerisme," and "Go-Go Girl," one of three tracks so obscure that the artist is actually unknown!

Bottom line, Essential Pebbles Volume 1 is a superb introduction to the Pebbles series, and an awesome addition to any garage-rock library.

5 out of 5 stars the unheard music is usually the best.......2006-09-17

Very enjoyable rock-n-roll. Any one of these bands could've made it big had they been in the right circumstances. I wonder what all these guys are doing now. This stuff is timeless.

5 out of 5 stars time warp.......2005-07-06

What a surprise to discover that a song I recorded when I was 15 years old, in 1965, is selling on a compilation in 2005!!! I played the farfisa organ on "Searching" by the "Omens". We recorded this in a cramped, second floor apartment in Hammond, Indiana on a reel to reel tape. It was a wild time, playing teen clubs and sock hops, and paying WLTH DJ Ron Borden every $ we made to play the record on his radio show. This collection captures the vibrant energy of the 60's and showcases the raw talent that was rampant at the time.

5 out of 5 stars Don't think twice about picking this one up!.......2004-06-07

It goes without saying, with a collection title like ESSENTIAL PEBBLES, each song should be a winner. Disc 1 collects the creme de la creme of the first 10 CD volumes of the PEBBLES garage/punk series, and not one of these songs is bad! From The Preachers' "Who Do You Love" to Teddy and Patches' "Suzy Creamcheese" to The Trolls' "Every Day and Every Night" to The Uncalled For's "Do Like Me" to Keith Kessler's "Don't Crowd Me", all 29 tracks are a superb primer for the newcomer to the garage scene and will have you scrambling to get every volume of the PEBBLES collection (buyer beware: not all of them are this great). The last three songs, The Mile Ends' "Bottle Up and Go", Bohemian Vendetta's "Enough", and "Don't Crowd Me", are from the EAR PIERCING PUNK CD, an offshoot volume of the PEBBLES run.

Disc 2 is where the collection starts to wane. Containing 26 rare 45's and acetates from around the U.S., including some groups whose names are unknown (!), this is the real reason that even those who have every PEBBLES CD will be in heaven with this set. Not every song on this disc is a classic; as a matter of fact, you might say some of them deserve to be left in the dusty vaults they came from. But the highlights include: The Motifs' "Someday", The Shays' "Brainwashed" (which is bleeped for profanity!), The Sinners' French-language "Sinnerisme", The Mixed Emotions' "Can't You Stop It Now", The Thunderbolts' "Heart So Cold", Peter and the Wolves' "Hey Mama" and "Only Everything" (a cover of Them's "I Can Only Give You Everything"), The Shades' "Down the Road Apiece", The Dynamic Nutones' "Sick and Tired", The Hustlers' "The Sky is Black", The Thorns' "I'm in Love", and an unknown group's "Fed Up". Unfortunately a lot of the songs tend to sound identical to one another, but the fact that they probably weren't heard outside of their particular region makes them a real treat to finally be able to experience!

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection.......2007-01-19

Essential Baroque is a great collection, especially for the price. It has two CDs packd full of the best Baroque music. Like most Baroque collections, it has the best of some of the better known artists like Handel, Bach, and Vivaldi. However, unlike most other collections, it excels in adding some good pieces from lesser known artists from the period.

4 out of 5 stars A remarkable anthology.......2005-09-08

A fine selection of pieces excerpted from the chamber ensemble, solo and opera repertory. Some recordings, though from paramount artists, are elderly; yet, performers are anyway flawless. It may be objected that a few of Vivaldi's masterpieces were disregarded.

5 out of 5 stars High-quality, marvelously varied intro to baroque music.......2003-12-13

I am buying this as the perfect gift for Russian and Chinese scientist friends. They have knowledge of classical music but perhaps not much about baroque music, which achieved special popularity in the U.S. during the 1970's and 1980's. Russians seem to have more familiarity with romantic classical music, while the more recently arrived Asian classical buffs have special affinity to the "Classical" classical period and the great 19th Century romantics. How can a baroque sampler be better than with a span of music ranging from solo harpsichord to full orchestra and chorus, and from the very familiar (Pachelbel Canon and Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah) to a trio sonata by Zelenka and the Dardanus Overture by Rameau. Not only that, but both the period instrument and living tradition baroque styles are represented by noted performers (e.g. Trevor Pinnock and Christopher Hogwood; and Henryk Szeryng, Andras Schiff, Pepe Romero, and Alicia de Larrocha, respectively). The producers were careful enough to state that the "Albinoni Adagio in g minor" was actually composed by Remo Giazotto - though in fact Giazotto did use a fragment of Albinoni. This is definitely not a supermarket special, but a box of choice musical bonbons.

5 out of 5 stars THE FIRST TRUE ULTIMATE JIMI HENDRIX COMPILATION!.......2006-11-29

I will be doing a review on the now out of print legendary masterpiece 2-CD set album "THE ESSENTIAL JIMI HENDRIX VOLUMES ONE AND TWO" by the late great guitar legend, the one and only Jimi Hendrix. These two volume 2-CD set album was originally released on Jimi's old Reprise Records label in 1978. The matrix or ID number of this CD is 9 26035-2. If I find out new information regarding this 2-CD set, I will edit this review so that you the consumer will get the best and most accurate review possible.

In my opinion, this compilation is the first true collection of Jimi Hendrix. This compilation along with the Jimi Hendrix Experience Purple Boxset, you will not be doing very bad as far as collecting some of Jimi's most sacred recordings. When this compilation was originally released on cassette and vinyl, they were actually released on two cassettes and on a 2-record set for Volume one and on one record for Volume two. Putting both volumes on a 2-CD set is actually a blessing for all who wish to own this collection if you can find it.

The songs on here are all EXCELLENT! Disc one Volume one contains MANY of Jimi's legendary hit songs such as "Are You Experienced," "Purple Haze," "Hey Joe," "Fire," "Foxey Lady," "The Wind Cries Mary," "I Don't Live Today," "Little Wing," "If 6 Was 9," "Bold As Love," "Little Miss Lover," Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" and "Crosstown Traffic." Disc two Volume two contains the songs such as "All Along The Watchtower," "Izabella," "Freedom," "Dolly Dagger," "Stepping Stone," "Drifting," "Ezy Rider," Monterey's 1967 Live Recording of "Wild Thing," "Machine Gun," THE GREATEST GUITAR SOLO IN ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY, "The Star Spangled Banner" recorded live at Woodstock 1969 and the BLISTERING "Gloria."

As you can see, this is not a bad collection of Jimi at all! EVERY ONE of these songs are legendary and is a breakthrough in the recording technology process. One of the MANY fine examples of this process is the legendary song "Bold As Love." All I will say about this song is listen to the ending of it and you will know what I mean. In my opinion, this song contains one of the most beautiful endings in Rock n' Roll history. Another great example is the song "Are You Experienced?." This song is absolutely legendary, daring and breathtaking with Jimi asking you a BOLD question. The music to "Are You Experienced?" is nothing but incredible and far ahead of its time. When I listen to the song "Drifting," I REALLY TRULY believe that Jimi was drifting away from us which would lead to his unfortunate death on 18 September 1970. In the haunting song "Machine Gun," Jimi was the ONLY PERFORMER who DARED to take us on a journey to the Vietnam war. Through his guitar, Jimi actually created unimaginable sounds and effects such as bullets quickly going off through a machine gun and explosions going off on the battlefield killing many soldiers or hearing their cries. You can also hear the planes flying and crashing in the battlefield through his guitar. In my opinion, you can actually feel Jimi's emotions and tears flowing through his guitar as he is playing this song. "Machine Gun" has to be one of the most if not the most incredible song of the Vietnam war to ever be recorded onto tape. Jimi would also use this same kind of formula on our National Anthem when he performed the "Star Spangled Banner" live at Woodstock in 1969. All I will say about the Hendrix version of the Van Morrison composition song "Gloria" is that this song is a TRUE ROCKER! Other GREAT ROCKERS included in this collection are "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" and "Little Miss Lover." These two songs KICK A*S! I can keep talkng about all the songs contained in this collection, but I would eventually make this review long like many of my other Hendrix reviews in the past. This is a GREAT compilation and is worth buying if you can find it, but I think you know where to start.

In closing, Jimi Hendrix is THE GREATEST GUITARIST OF ALL TIME. In MANY magazine polls, Jimi has pretty much been voted THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL! In a recent poll by Mojo magazine, the "Are You Experienced?" album was voted the GREATEST INSTRUMENTAL album of ALL-TIME! There is NO DOUBT after all these years since Jimi's death in 1970, his influence in Rock n' Roll is fealt to this day. When you hear a great guitar legend play a note through their guitar, Jimi flows through their guitar as well. There will NEVER be another Jimi Hendrix, he is IRREPLACEABLE. Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for all of you. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. LONG LIVE ROCK N' ROLL! JIMI LIVES! Rock out always and take care. J.L.

5 out of 5 stars The Perfect Intro To Hendrix.......2004-06-27

Much has been written about Jimi Hendrix, so I'll keep this short.

This reasonably-priced 2 cd set is the perfect place to start a Hendrix collection. Material from several albums is contained here, with a bit of an emphasis on "Are You Experienced?" and "Electric Ladyland". This is also a great album to have if you only want one Hendrix cd.

Once you've digested this, move on to the individual albums.

Fatboy Slim and Paul Oakenfold, two of the most famous DJs in the world and kings of big beat and house, respectively, are supremely showcased in this double-CD collection. The Essential Selection, Vol. 1 glorifies each mixmaster's equal, yet mutually exclusive talents in roof raising. The back-to-back discs are an enlightening example of the yin and yang of club music; Fatboy Slim's grounded, drier, giddier expressions of overlapping funk and disco juxtapose Oakenfold's spatial, entrancing continuum supplemented with buzzing, flatulent bass lines, and celestial synths. Both DJs are experts in flow, building beats seamlessly into climactic moments of frenzied, adrenaline-fueled euphoria, then swinging the vibe down again with the subtlety and patience of a free-falling feather. No doubt Fatboy Slim is known for his deliberate lack of subtlety stylistically, but when placed in this context, immediately compared to Oakenfold's ethereal grooves, it's evident that Stormin' Norman possesses copious finesse. Because of their stylistic polarity, like platinum and gold, these DJs shine with matched but multihued brilliance, and like soil and sun, are indispensable components of a diverse dance music ecology. --Beth Massa

5 out of 5 stars Oakenfold's finest trance.......2006-04-24

The Oakenfold disc of this set is the epitome of trance.

Certainly Oakenfold's finest trance CD, with Tranceport in second place. The track transitions are seemless [like in Tranceport], so you can just put the CD in and go into, for lack of a better word, a trance. Soothing but with a lot of energy.

You can't call yourself a fan of trance and not hear this.

2 out of 5 stars Only half good..........2006-04-14

Fatboy just makes a lot of rhythmic noise! Very bad for your heart if you'd ask me. Oakenfield way more melodic. So definitely don't go for the new, but choose the cheaper used

5 out of 5 stars I'm sure you've heard it all...........2004-12-02

Yes yes you've heard it all about Oakenfold being a sell out and everything from A to Z.. and how most techno is all dated and there is always something wrong with mixes, and true to this also, but it's still good music, Fatboy's mix is really housey ( kindof in a Fast paced 1-2 min song Housy kinda way, not like a digweed house way ) Fatboy does tear it up though, his cd is really up beat and great for driving to, although it does leave the listener wanting more,, maybe something deeper.... oh yea there is an Oakenfold cd to.... I really didn't think to much of oakie's mix for a couple of years.. Now it's almost 2005 and i've heard tons of different mixes, and when i went back and heard his cd it really amazed me. the song selection stuck in my head and i couldn't forget the tune of the songs. it's progressive and has a different vibe than any of his other cds. Of course there are a few boring and too long songs on here, but when you listen all through, it really is worth owning. the last 4 songs on the cd are truly incredible 5/5 stars with nothing wrong there, and the first like 6 songs are probly 3-4/5 . sure you can call him what you want but this cd is good.

3 out of 5 stars This is Comical!!!.......2002-10-25

Boy, do I love this. Fatboy Slim tears it up on his CD, Oakenfold continues to put me to sleep!!! All I have to say is, if you have the extra money to drop on these CDs, buy it for Fatboy Slim's Disc. Truely one of his better...

4 out of 5 stars Two genres, two discs, two different moods.......2002-09-28

First of all, if you've never been exposed to electronic music, buy this double CD set. It is a rarity among dance mix compilations since it includes two popular but very different styles of dance mixed by two of the biggest DJs in the world. Almost all other dance mix sets contain one style exclusively, so this album is truly a 2-for-1 deal.
If you happen to be an electronica guru, this compilation may not whet your thirst for innovation. The first CD, Fatboy Slim's big beat mix, sounds dated, despite being fairly high energy. True, there are it's fine points, such as the few tracks in the middle of the mix that create an enjoyable climax, but as a whole the mix sounds old and worn. Unless you're a truly big Fatboy Slim fan, his mix probably will have you hitting the "skip" button on your CD player over and over again to escape the repetition of annoying beats.
As for the Oakenfold mix, it's the reason I gave the album 4 stars. Stand-alone, this CD is one of the best trance mixes to come out just before the trance genre began to flood with exhausted, overplayed, producer driven stagnation. Some critics have panned the Oakenfold mix claiming the song selection was second rate. I could not disagree more. Most of the songs are wonderful selections on their own right, utilizing pure emotion. The CD begins with a surrealistic soundbyte of a New York Thanksgiving day television weathercast, which quickly builds into an energetic hill with the likes of "The Spirit" and "Free". The 3 song climax is among the best I've ever heard, and one that can't be missed. Of note is Solarstone's "Seven Cities", which literally makes the listener feel as if he/she is truly on an emotional ride. The closing two songs on the mix are a wonderful cool-down, of note is "Viola" which is one of the best late night driving songs ever.
Overall I think it's a ...investment well worth the cost.

As with their first collection of label highlights, Hyperion's new two-disc collection provides a broad sampling of their exceptional catalogue and performers. Particularly rewarding are the selections from Beethoven (Scherzo from String Trio in C minor, op 9 no 3, performed by the Leopold Trio) and Thomas Tallis (Salvator mundi I, performed by the Winchester Cathedral Choir), but experienced and novice listeners alike will find much to enjoy on these discs. It's also a good value--more than 2 1/2 hours of music for less than $10.

      Customer Reviews:

      5 out of 5 stars Tight deal.......2003-03-03

      I picked up this 19 track cd [at a bargain price.] It was a steal. I was not expecting much from the price but I was definately suprised. Every joint on this is fire besides maybe "Thirsty Man", but I have never digged Thirstin Howl's style. This is a must have for any fan of underground hip hop. I bought this cd a while ago, and it still gets almost daily spin in the ride. I'm wearing the paint off this disc. So if you are a fan of any underground cats don't pass up this deal.

      4 out of 5 stars Good display of various types of underground talent..........2002-09-15

      I was unaware of this compilation's existence. I was in my local Sam Goody store looking for something new to feed my car's speakers. I came across the word UNDERGROUND and of course I picked up the CD and saw some names on the back that made me crack a smile: Guru, Esoteric, Talib Kweli, Inspectah Deck, Beatnuts, etc...

      For [$] ANY CD IS WORTH GETTING FOR THAT PRICE except for something in the likes of Puffy, Nelly, or Ja Rule... Every song on here is butter except for a couple exceptions. I'm not highly into thug underground hiphop so Infamous Mobb was a turn off and so was the track by 50 Cent....

      Highlights:
      OC - "King of New York"
      Inspectah Deck "Swordplay Remix)
      Cormega - "Get Out My Way"
      Guru & Masta Ace - "Conflict Remix"
      Non Phixion "Rock Stars"
      Beatnuts - Work That Pole
      Main Flow & Talib Kweli - Hiphop Worth Dying For
      7L & Esoteric - Word Association...

      so overall... if you're already a fan of underground hiphop or if you want to satisfy your curiosity... Pick up this CD!!!

      I'm Out ... Mind Power!!!

I came across the word UNDERGROUND and of course I picked up the CD and saw some names on the back that made me crack a smile: Guru, Esoteric, Talib Kweli, Inspectah Deck, Beatnuts, etc... Then out of curiosity I peeked at the price for this 19 track CD ...

      For [a small amount of money] ANY CD IS WORTH GETTING FOR THAT PRICE except for something in the likes of Puffy, Nelly, or Ja Rule... Every song on here is butter except for a couple exceptions. I'm not highly into thug underground hiphop so Infamous Mobb was a turn off and so was the track by 50 Cent....

      7L & Esoteric - Word Association...

      so overall... if you're already a fan of underground hiphop or if you want to satisfy your curiosity... Pick up this CD!!! even if its [more expensive]....

      4 out of 5 stars dope.......2002-09-14

      I just bought this CD ..., so for the price alone, this is worth it. 3 Alchemist joints, 2 Primo joints, and 2 J-Love joints, how can you go wrong? Dope production and good collection of artists highlight this CD. The best songs include "Get Out My Way" by Cormega (old but as dope as the first time I heard it), "Any Type Of Way" by Big Daddy Kane (it's Primo, what more can I say), "Swordplay Remix" by Inspectah Deck (same as the original but with better production - also know as "Tiger Crane Technique"), "Rock Stars" by Non-Phixion (one of the highlights of Non-Phixion's dope debut, plus its more Primo so it can't be bad), and "King Of New York" by OC (nice to hear from this dude again, "My World" and "Dangerous" were hot back in the day).
