cool dance album.......2007-05-31

it took me some time to look for this cd and i was lucky to find it on amazon. g8 music for dance music lovers. must have item .

Awesome!.......2007-01-09

This CD is worth it just for the first track "Sandstorm." I find this song compels me dance. When I play the CD, I always seem to put this song on repeat, so I haven't really experienced the other songs, so I can't really say much about them. All I know is that first song makes me feel alive, happy, in touch with the world, like tackling any project, and dancing. Totally worth it!

cd order.......2006-11-11

I recieved my order within a couple of days. It was delivered as promised, in wrapper and all. I love the CD too. Great service will order again.

Darude "Before the Storm" Audio CD review.......2006-07-30

If you are a fan of trance music, you will like this album. If you like hard beats against a hypnotic background, vibrating with melodies and sounds, you will like this album.
Darude's "Before the Storm" includes the worldwide favorite, 'Sandstorm', often played at sports events, and even featured on DDRMAX, the video game.
If you do not like extremely repetitive music, you may not like this album. Although most of the songs repeat melodies and sounds, Darude's music stirs excitement in the listener. It's great for workouts, dances, running, or even background music.

overall good.......2006-05-14

Good songs. My one complaint is the repetitiveness of the songs, not much in terms of variety throughout the c.d. Eh, I guess though, it's techno, that's to be expected.

Landmark Album that brought Trance to the masses.......2006-03-06

Fantastic!

The two Standout tracks are:

Sandstorm (a MONSTER track)
Feel The Beat

Not sure if the others were released as singles but these two are also quite excellent:

Calm Before the Storm
Touch me feel me (this is invitingly sensual).

These four tracks are different... no repetition here. But maybe among the others.

But my word, the music is so delicious, refreshing and enticing. This is a must-have in any Dance/Trance lover's library.

This CD is so sick.......2001-04-06

We were looking for a song for a CD that we were putting together for our internet company and needed a fast song without lyrics and Darude's Sandstorm was the one. Everytime i listen to this CD it puts me in a different place. Keep it up and buy this guys CD!

Off the hook music.......2001-03-05

This song Sandstorm is incredible. it doesnt have any words, but you can feel from the pounding beats what meaning it has. this song is my favorite on the radio...i get all worked up when i hear it and i have to check my speedlimit in the car when i drive to it. i have no idea where this guy came up with amazing music like this..its fantastic!

A most splendid CD! i used to play synthesizers when i was younger. This CD is a perfect blend of very innovative arpeggio-type rythmic sounds and very fluid backgrounds. It is a work of love and brilliance to be sure. The occasional vocals are done well. i am so delighted with this CD! It is very good indeed!

excellent.......2007-04-14

Very few CD's are worth their full price value but this is certainly one of them. Anytime I buy a CD and can just leave it playing while I do... whatever, and not feel the need to jump over and hit "skip" every other song, I am indeed grateful. I can do that with this one! Sure, I have my favorites - My Heart Has a History (also a very good video on CMT!), I Do (which I plan to have played at my next wedding, if I ever re-marry!), I Meant to Do That - almost painful to listen to but haunting...Some real good tunes and Brandt is simply adorable to look at! Nice deep voice, good writing - give this humble Canadian boy a chance!

Surprisingly Good Album.......2007-02-20

This album wasn't as popular as it could have been. With good ballads and a little twang as well, it had enough balance to climb higher in the charts. But, if you're looking for an album that has some mellow tracks to sip a beer to, while adding a little change of pace with the more "twangy" tracks... this might be one you stick into your CD player. "I Do" is a nice romantic ballad, as is "On The Inside", and "I Meant To Do That" is a mellow track with a bit of a sad twist. "My Heart Has A History" is a catchy tune as well, hitting the charts back then.

Favorite Singer, Songwriter, and CD!.......2007-01-18

I don't see how anyone could go wrong with this CD. It has a great variety of songs, all with catchy beat, and good, meaningful, lyrics.
My all time favorite is My Heart Has a History. Paul's range is amazing.
I agree, he is underrated, and underplayed.

one of my best cd.......2004-12-21

I bought Paul Brandt's Calm Before The Storm six years ago, and believe it or not, I still play this CD almost everyday, providing that I have some other 1,500 country CD to choose from. The first time I heard his deep, sultry voice, I felt like ' oh my god, this must be my most favorite CD EVER, and I was right. Apart from his singing talent, he also possesses perfect writing skill, as you can hear from the title track 'Calm Before The Storm'. There was no filler song on the entire album; all song was great. The only weak point for this CD, as far as I can tell, is that it stays too long in my CD player, and I have little time to listen to my other CD!!!

Great Cd.......2002-06-08

I bought this cd a few years ago and its one of my favorites. A good cd speaks for itself. This is a cd that you can listen the whole way through and love every song.

Before the Dawn.......2003-08-07

I first got into Patrice Rushin's music opon returning from Saigon in 1975! Being an avid Herbie Handcock fan, I had herd that she came highly recommended by him. I was facinated by the tune "Before the dawn" as were my Nam buddies!The biggest thrill came when we accually met her in Hawaii in early 76. She was so cool, and I tried my best to get her out on a date being that we were the same age. (I think she might have went, had my friend not been such a "Block", LOL! We continued to be fans of her music well into the 90s, but still there was desire to see her return to "straight ahead" jazz! I can't recommend "Before the Dawn" enough! Once out of print, but now through the magic of compact disk, bigger and better than ever!

Great CD.......2003-01-16

I owned both of these albums on vinyl but I'm sure glad I repurchased them on CD. I've always loved Patrice's music and I forgot how good her early music sounded. I especially love Jubilation and and Before the Dawn. It was also great to hear some vintage 1970's Joe Henderson and Hubert Laws solos. A great supporting cast.....I highly recommend this CD. 200 Stars!!

Great!.......1999-10-20

I have been after the album Prelusion for years and managed to buy the re-issue along with Before the Dawn last year. The standout track has to be H'Awright Now (imagine Herbie Hancock Rhodes solo's 1973-1977), although this isn't really indicative of the rest of the album, which is more in the style of Herbie (again) Speak like a Child era... modal jazz.

I don't really care much for the tracks on Before the Dawn as they sound very dated, but Celebration is a great Chick Corea'esque latin track with great flute solos from Hubert Laws.

Album Description

First released in 1967, this is the crown jewel of sixties garage, with original copies fetching over $4,000 on eBay. Originals plus savvy covers of The Remains, Rockin' Ramrods, and Love make this a classic. Bonus 1983 live LP Alive Again at Andover.

Customer Reviews:

A nice slice of New England garage!.......2007-01-12

This is a pleasant enough compilation from a group that is is essentially an unknown entity by most oldies enthusiasts. "Frozen Laughter" is undoubtedly the highlight but I thought the group did a credible job on Love's "A Message To Pretty" as well as most of their other original 60s recordings.

In my book the final ten "reunion" songs are not total throwaways but taken for what they are worth, an amateurish uncoordinated goof session, they are certainly listenable. The guys appear to be having a good time, no doubt fueled by a bit of spirits, and that comes through loud and clear.

I would not recommend this to the casual listener but I believe that anyone with a devout interest in 60s garage would find this CD to be attractive from both a musical and historical perspective.

Excellent Garage Record!!!.......2004-01-02

This is one of the great,pure garage rock records that actually lives up to its great reputation. Bands like the Barbarians, Savage Resurrection, and Knickerbockers seem to enjoy great reputations while their albums suck! I believe this record was released in 1966. The soul covers are the only downfall to this album but even these songs are solid and quite respectable. Mr. Wind, Frozen Laughter, A Message To Pretty, and To L.N. are excellent folk rock songs with a garage touch. Frozen Laughter in particular is the album's standout being a sublime slice of folk-psychedelia. Don't Look Back, I'm Coming Home, and She Loved Me are effective, driving garage numbers as well. In addition, the label has added a reunion concert as a bonus. This material is not included in the review and should be ignored completely.

--.......2003-09-13

It's hard to take a critical stance with a band of such modest ambition as the Rising Storm, but their music is in the world for anyone to purchase, whether the band forsaw that at the time or not. Actually there's quite a bit to like about these guys, but not if you're into heavy garage/psych sounds - the bag the Rising Storm get mistakenly placed in.

More than half of this record is made up of covers that are, more often than not, weak. There's a few solid uptempo numbers like 'Don't Look Back' and the group original, 'I'm Coming Home,' with its surf guitar. Their version of the blues standard 'Baby Please Don't Go' is an unusual reading for it sounds as though it was recorded at Sun Studios. However, the one rocker you should really dig is 'She Loved Me'. You may not find a better slice of adolescent hormone celebration than this anywhere. The song rides an insistent wave of fuzz guitar and the drummer fails to understand his limits, but the cake is when the singer repeats the line, "And then she said she loved me" - news which the guitarist immediately celebrates with a guitar run full of such profound naive conviction that it's actually stunning and even heartbreaking - the sonic equivalent of the adrenaline rush and sheer joy that follows the successful courting of a young woman. It's even more effective with the cheap fuzztone he's got because it sounds as though his guitar is trying to take that next step to manhood with him.

'She Loved Me' aside, the big news on this record is the original folky ballads the band wrote themselves. 'Frozen Laughter' is the jewel of the bunch with its lyrics adapted from T.S. Eliot's 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' and hazy atmosphere. The "Honey, is that you?" spoken intro and tape cut-up at the end are both brilliant. 'To L.N./Who Doesn't Know' (outstanding title) displays an extremely sophisticated melodicism that's the all the more amazing considering that these are the same guys who did 'She Loved Me'. 'The Rain Falls Down' is good as well.

The final ten tracks on this release consist of a live gig the band did at their fifteen-year high school reunion in 1982 and its inclusion was extremely ill-advised.

robin at his best.......2003-05-11

This is Robin Crow at his very best. Whenever you put Robin and his guitar alone in the studio, the results are simply amazing. With additional musicians on other CD's, sometimes his true sound can get completely lost and the music becomes too "commercial". This CD seems to have gone back to his traditional roots of previous recordings such as "Creator" and "Windows to the World".

There are only five tracks on this CD but each are lengthy. I found only one to be a little too long but the rest is simply brilliant. This is not a CD to listen to while cleaning your house. It's music meant to be played when the day is over and all you want to do is collapse and zone out! I guarantee he will take you to another world, a place you will not want to leave!
