    Tom and Dick Smothers hit show-biz pay dirt by exploring the lighter side of brotherly competition in their musical comedy act. Combining substantial folk-singing skills with barbed comic repartee, the Smothers Brothers endeared themselves to "hip" crowds and mainstream audiences alike. That feat was a considerable accomplishment in the '60s, when the recordings that comprise this generous sampler were made. The tracks include such memorable numbers as "Pretoria," "Tom Dooley," "The Saga of John Henry," "Cabbage," "I Talk to the Trees," and, of course, "Mom Always Liked You Best." --Scott Schinder

          Allison and Catherine Pierce are from Alabama, they're sisters, they're rather attractive, one of them is supposedly (as of this writing) dating someone from the Strokes, and as kids they were both "accomplished" ballerinas. Together they make some pretty fine, artsy pop with provocative lyrics vaguely in the vein of Regina Spektor. Thirteen Tales is the first album the duo has made with their own say-so; their earlier records were pleasant if innocuous, slicked-up folk. There's a dramatic flair to their country-inflected orchestral New Wave folk-pop. With its doubled-up and contemporary-sounding pop vocal style, the macabre "Secrets" sounds like the soundtrack to a Tim Burton movie with words written by Dame Darcy, as sung by half the members of the Pussycat Dolls. If anything, they're a little too ambitious on their third album. With each track assigned its own stylistic variation (however slight), the album is scattered as a whole. But this is definitely a super entertaining duo, one to watch out for. --Mike McGonigal

          The former jazzman-turned-punk is now more middle-of-the-road than a yellow stripe. But Ten Summoner's Tales is by far the most engaging of his solo records. The singles "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" and "Fields of Gold" prove the man can lighten up long enough to go deep. "She's Too Good For Me" would have been a good Police single if it weren't for the pseudo-classical midsection that takes its joke far too seriously. Still, you wish he would loosen up and enjoy the rock once in a while. --Robert Wilonsky

          4 out of 5 stars Hold on for some great ones.......2007-05-29

          Sting's album ten summoners tale's hits some high notes....quite literally.
          It includes the super hit Fields of Gold which is a timeless beautiful song, and the uplifting If I ever loose my faith in you- which is quite fun to listen to. It also includes the slow dramatic shape of my heart.
          Shape of my heart's music has since been borrowed by both Monica and Craig David.
          The CD has a lot of flow, and versatillity and prooves why even though we can't have the Police anymore, why we're glad Sting is a solo act. He can carry the show on his own as he prooves his with his deep mellow voice, and interesting ground breaking sounds.

          4 out of 5 stars my youth's myth.......2007-05-13

          great sound with THE POLICE, grew up professionally and got better as a SOLO ARTIST.

          5 out of 5 stars MMMM Sting.......2007-01-10

          I don't think he can come out with a bad CD. He makes me smile with some of his songs, cry with others and get the chills at his uncanny talent.
          It is always different in style, but I always get the best out of them.
          He is truely an ICON.

          5 out of 5 stars ...a rare perfect album..........2006-10-24

          i won't dignify this album with a review, or analysis, because, it simply doesn't need, or deserve one...

          all that needs to be said is...this is one of those rare perfect albums that, every once in a harvest, comes together as one from beginning to end...

          my only regret...'fields of gold' should never have been a hit single...don't get me wrong...it's a great song...but, it's just a part of the entire piece, that shouldn't be disected for the masses...

          it's intelligent, it's brilliant, it's...well, it's just the way it 'all' is...

          5 out of 5 stars Sting - TEN SUMMONER'S TALES (1993).......2006-07-24

          Having vented his sorrow over his father's death through THE SOUL CAGES, Sting returned more upbeat and playful than ever on 1993's TEN SUMMONER'S TALES. Widely regarded as Sting's best album, TEN SUMMONER'S TALES - the title being a pun on Sting's surname - is a collection of ten songs, each telling a story, as well as a prologue ("If I Ever Lose My Faith In You") and an epilogue ("Nothing 'Bout Me"). This was destroyed on the US and Canadian releases, as the "Prologue" was dropped from the title of "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" and one of the album's finest songs, "Everybody Laughed But You", was inexplicably omitted. Sting has never been better either lyrically or musically; these songs are at once funny and very powerful. "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" and the beautiful "Fields Of Gold" are the album's classic songs, but every song is wonderful, particularly "Seven Days", "Something The Boy Said" (which would have made a fine Police song), "Shape Of My Heart" (featured in the end credits of Luc Besson's LEON), "Saint Augustine In Hell" and the highly amusing "Heavy Cloud No Rain". Though it still can't surpass its predecessor, THE SOUL CAGES, TEN SUMMONER'S TALES ranks directly behind it on the list of Sting's finest solo work.

But while the Dandy Warhols liberally steal Rolling Stones riffs, Iggy Pop vocals, Britpop sonic surfing, and even Burt Bacharach horn sections, they give it back in spades, delivering one of the best rock albums of 2000: a masterpiece of sex, beauty, strife, and wry, raunchy-cool attitude. --Beth Massa

              Amazon.com

              The long hiatus that led to the Dandy Warhols' masterful third album, Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia, promoted leaps-and-bounds growth in this already excellent band's music. Layers, layers, and more layers of guitars coexist here with trippy soundscapes, doot-doo-doo choruses, and even an eyebrow-cocked nod to hip-hop ("Yo, bitch," frontman Courtney Taylor mutters, sounding like Lou Reed reading an Ice Cube lyric sheet). By turns galloping, propulsive, hushed, and majestic, this is music that openly steals--from the Stones, Kinks, and Cars, among others--while fusing its sources into a unique whole of its own. Taylor lives up to the wide-screen promise of the disc's title, offering a series of what Game Theory once called "pointed accounts of people you know." The characters here brag about how they "got a beautiful new Asian girlfriend" ("Solid"), live the bicoastal high life in "itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny ridin'-up-your-butt bikini[s]" ("Horse Pills"), seek reassurance that an affair is "just a casual, casual, easy thing" ("Bohemian Like You"), and offer advice in the middle of a breakup argument: "Hey, man, turn that shit off." Seedily glamorous and replete with the best vocal asides since Jarvis Cocker let it bleed all over Pulp's Different Class, Thirteen Tales will convince you that rock is alive--and that you should still care. --Rickey Wright

                I was so happy to find this on CD I have the original on a cassette from childhood. I loved it then and now and now my children listen and love it.

                5 out of 5 stars Good upbeat working music.......2007-03-08

                I love these CDS . . what a brilliant idea to add a beat to the most popular classical songs of all time. It is great upbeat music that gets you going. I specifically use it for when I need a boost to get me going on housework. It get you in just the right mood to start working. My kids love it too.

                Amazon.com essential recording

                As unlikely as the idea seems today to use the suspense-filled stories of Edgar Allan Poe as the basis for an album of rock tunes, listeners in the 1970s--who were barraged with such high-flown concepts during the heyday of prog-rock--turned the record into a major hit. The Project actually scored a Top 40 hit with "(The System of) Doctor Tarr and Professor Feather." Thanks to FM radio overplay, however, "The Raven" is probably the album's best-known track today. The 1987 CD version of "ToMaI" differs somewhat from the original vinyl. Parsons dropped in synthesizer parts to modernize the album, and added an opening recitation by Orson Welles. But the integrity of the original is maintained well enough, and the album remains a classic excuse to dim the lights, pour a glass of sherry (amontillado, natch), and break out the headphones. --Daniel Durchholz

                3 out of 5 stars Casting a dark shadow.......2007-05-16

                The first of The Alan Parsons Project albums set the footprint for his career to follow: choose a concept and then base progressive, highly structured and immaculately produced music around it. In the case of "Tales Of Mystery," it was Edgar Allan Poe. My original copy of this was on vinyl, a reissue of the 20th Century Records release with a second version of the cover, depicting a bust of Parsons somewhat wrapped in mummy-bandages. (The long shadow on the CD cover minus the mummy photos was the original cover.) Featuring several of APP's soon to be regular cast, collaborator Eric Woolfson and members of the groups Ambrosia (Parsons produced the debut "Ambrosia") and Pilot, it was the kind of album that got labeled "head music" in the seventies. Perfect for listening to with headphones or while hanging out with friends in a room full of black light posters while probably not 100% sober.

                Some 30 years later and more often sober while listening to CD's, this album holds up well for its first half. The trademarks of APP appear in songs like "The Raven" and the instrumental "Dream Within A Dream." There was even a minor hit single as "The System Of Doctor Tarr and Professor Feather" slipped into the lower reaches of the top 40. The album's final Beatlesque ballad, "To One In Paradise," sounds worthy of Abby Road and is indicative of hits to come - think of "Time."

                On the other hand, the 15 minute "The Fall Of The House Of Usher" is a soundtrack in search of a video accompaniment. While a younger and more - ummm... - 'stimulated' imagination might have filled in the picture, it now just sounds like background buzz. While I don't mind the stentorian narration Parsons added from Orson Welles for the 1987 CD release, the additional synthesizers and solo guitars are an irritant. They could have left well-enough alone, but since CD technology was the shiny new thing at the time, I don't blame Parsons for wanting to tweak the new version. After all, I still have my 12 inch vinyl.

                As far as its place in the APP discography, I probably prefer "I Robot," "Pyramid" and "Eye in the Sky" ahead of "Tales Of Mystery." But for shear audacity (mixing classics of literature with rock music was considered pretty risky in 1976), the Alan Parsons Project debut still can stimulate.

                5 out of 5 stars Para mi, junto con I Robot, son los mejores.......2007-04-06

                Este disco tiene la particularidad, de que su concepto es basado en los cuentos de edgar allan poe. La introduccion narrada por orson welles es genial, (yo solo la sustituiria por Vincent price, ya que el actuo muchos de los cuentos de poe), luego vienen 3 de las canciones que mas me gustan de toda la discografias de APP, esta son The raven , tell tale heart y cast of amontillado, que dicho sea de paso, son, junto con el asesinato de la rue morge y el pozo y el pendulo, los cuentos de poe que mas me gustan.

                Este fue el segundo disco que compre de APP, y sin duda alguna, junto con el de I robot, son mis preferidos.

                5 out of 5 stars Poe Fan.......2007-03-31

                If you're a Poe fan and you grew up in the 70's....well, need I say more? Is and always has been an GREAT album and cool tribute to the Master of Horror.

                4 out of 5 stars They should have left it alone.......2007-01-09

                I love this album. I'm one of the relative few who bought it when it first came out in 1976. But they really shouldn't have messed with it when they decided to release a remastered version. Yes, I love the Orson Welles narration that they added, but the new guitar parts really annoy me. For anyone who listened endlessly to the original LP, the new guitar parts sound very 80's and stand out in a bad way. I wish people would learn to leave well enough alone. Other than the cheesy guitar parts (and the final, totally boring, song), it's a classic album. It's too bad APP went commercial on their next LP, but it happens to the best of them.

                5 out of 5 stars An excellent debut .......2006-05-16

                This 1976 debut is simply excellent and is unquestionably the finest recording to come out of the 1970s British symphonic pop scene. In fact, I would place it on equal stature with the follow-up album and fan favorite I Robot (1977) even though I find Tales of Mystery and Imagination to be a more musically rich and satisfying recording. As an added bonus, the album sets a few stories of tortured soul Edgar Allen Poe to music.

                The musicians on this album include the "Project" core of Alan Parsons (organ, projectron, EMI Vocoder, and additional vocals); David Paton (bass guitar); Stuart Tosh (drums); Ian Bairnson (electric and acoustic guitars); and Eric Woolfson (keyboards and additional vocals). Various luminaries from the prog rock scene are present too including crazed vocalist Arthur Brown (he really belts out on The Tell Tale Heart), and keyboardist Francis Monkman (formerly with Curved Air). Other notables from the rock realm include the band Ambrosia. The vocalists (and there are several) are all pretty good and their voices work well with the particular track they were selected for. Last but not least is Darryl Runswick on acoustic bass (Pavane - Part IV of The Fall of the House of Usher) - his playing is restrained, jazzy, and very well done.

                I should note that this album is not the same album that was released in 1976. For starters, the cover is different (the stripe is new). Furthermore, short segments of spoken word passages were contributed by Orson Welles and Alan overdubbed various keyboard parts along with remixing the entire album in 1987. Although I never listened to the original album, I have to say that the changes Alan made are both tasteful and very organic sounding in a 1970s way (no 80's tone colors whatsoever). Specifically, a new guitar solo was added to The Raven; Projectron and new analog sounding synths were added to The Tell Tale Heart; additional synth parts were added to the Cask of Amontillado; pipe organ parts were added to Doctor Tarr and Professor Feather; and new synth parts were added to the excellent Pavane (Part IV of the The Fall of Usher suite).

                My favorite tracks on the album include the opening instrumental Dream within a Dream; The Cask of Amontillado (the combination of the sweet melodies with Poe's macabre subject matter was a very clever idea); the lengthy instrumental suite The Fall of the House of Usher (which features a 7 minute overture played by the English Chorale Orchestra); and the dreamy pop song To One in Paradise.

                This version of the CD comes with all lyrics and a synopsis of the life of Edgar Allen Poe.

                All in all, this is an excellent debut by the Alan Parsons Project and is highly recommended to those looking to explore the British symphonic pop genre - which is an offshoot of progressive rock. Also recommended are I Robot (1977) and Pyramid (1978).
