5 out of 5 stars "Midnight At A Time Shines".......2005-06-03

The much acclaimed and award winning debut CD by Thomas Raniszewski, (rani-chev-ski), is not only a fine tribute to Thomas' musical talents, but should be an inspiration to independent artists. For Raniszewski has shown that talent gets attention, independent or label, talent makes difference. It is always exciting to see exceptional aptitude accepted and recognized. In addition to being a great listen, selections from Tommy's "A Midnight At A Time" have been very successfully used in guided imagery mediation and relaxation therapy sessions. Obviously "A Midnight At A Time" satisfies a broad spectrum of listeners and fans.

Ten generous tracks complete this first sampling of Thomas Raniszewski music. A pop-new age influence combines with nuance from classic and majestically scored film and stage scores. Pensive and touching lyrics are joined with music which carries its own message creating an enlivened experience of musical sensation. Indeed Thomas' music has staying power as endearing melodies linger and find home. Vocals and accompaniment are truly complimentary and the unique joining is just a portion of the Raniszewski touch.

This is a stay and enjoy CD. While "A Midnight At A Time" fares very well at gatherings, I get the greatest enjoyment when I am able to just enjoy. There is a flow which guides you on a musically inspired journey of sensation experiences. In track number five, "At Dorothy's Fantastic Seaside Arcade" The visual empowered piece brings lively images to mind with a strength reminiscent of various works in the rock opera "Tommy". All in all a great listen with strong fan value. "Dreams Of The Summertime" - instrumental was the 2004 recipient of the Genre Award in the fan base determined Pride In The Arts Awards by StoneWall Society.

5 out of 5 stars A New Composer to the Music Scene.......2004-02-19

I loved this album from the first song I heard. The music is very moving and beautiful. The instrumentals are outstanding. The performers he chose were acceptional. The Christmas cut "Through a Childs Eyes" was by far the most moving piece and should be made into a Christmas Classic to be heard every year. This music is for all ages. You will not go wrong in buying this album for all your friends and relatives for any occasion or holiday.

5 out of 5 stars A Midnight at a Time, over and over.......2004-01-22

This is an incredibly promising album from Raniszewski, who has assembled musicians and vocalists that make this creation soar. Poignant, solid, catchy, dreamy, surprising. This album will entice you again and again, and rewards subsequent listenings with even deeper layers of sound texture and emotional insight. Experiencing this already well-developed album, I look forward to more from Raniszewski in the future. A very worthwhile listening experience!

4 out of 5 stars like it very much.......2004-01-19

5 out of 5 stars Poesies.......2004-01-09

Here is something that excites me to the point of delirium. The CD is the expression of a total revelation which seems to surpass human capacities. You dont have to understand these songs to love them; you need only the suspention of disbelief that constitutes an audience,s pleasure before the magician's flourishes and wonders. Listeners will find Ranizewski's spirit at once tragic and playful, dense and volatile passionateand imperssional, in this extraordinary collection od songs. Underneath his genius for sounds another, harder voice: it's tones -intimate, ultimately heartbroken-reveal with grat poingnancy mr Ranizewki's knowledge of the difference between music and life. We are priviledged to be around at the time of it,s making. This is a great 21 century creation.
