Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A must for any Red House Painters fan!.......1999-07-22

This collection includes 4 incredible Red House Painter Tracks, I am a devoted fan of RHP and these four tracks are absolute gems. The Idaho and Hayden tracks are also very good and add to the value of this CD. I also enjoy much of what Low does, however the Low tracks included here are not new and not my favorites and not as good as the stuff on their new CD.

4 out of 5 stars moody, intimate collection of 13 new and rare songs.......1999-07-16

The Shanti Project Collection is a benefit CD with proceeds donated to 'enhancing the quality of life... of people with HIV disease and AIDS." It features songs by moody musicians Red House Painters, Low, Idaho, Misc and Hayden. Red House Painters' four song contribution includes a rendition of Neil Young's "Midnight on the Bay" and a version of "Follow You, Follow Me" that does for Genesis what Aztec Camera's "Jump" did for Van Halen. And Hayden's songs, "Wasting My Days Away" and "Choking," sound as intimate as a friend whispering secrets in your ear late at night.

5 out of 5 stars slow-burning, meditative and, ultimately, immaculate.......1999-07-15

Benefit albums are good causes, but from a purely musical perspective, they're usually not that satisfying. Either there's a plethora of big-name throwaway tracks, or the roster is so scattershot that it hardly encourages fluid listening. However, the Shanti Project Collection, benefiting an AIDS help center in San Francisco, takes a welcomed approach in keeping cohesiveness to its spectacular benefit by choosing five bands to fill out the whole CD. San Francisco's Red House Painters wade through their usual magical mix of country and rock, trading electric and acoustic sounds on "Follow You, Follow Me." Their best contribution, and that of the entire album, is a smoldering version of Neil Young's bluesy "Midnight On The Bay." The sleepy, dub-like "Turning Over," from Low, is indicative of this band's inertia-less, yet potent, style. They can make a silly refrain like "Sarah, you're lazy" (from "Lazy"), sound surreal and sublime. The usually lumbering Idaho, meanwhile, revel in Shanti's most groovy track, relatively speaking, "The Sun Is All There Is," accented nicely by a female backup vocalist.Hayden's slo-mo aesthetic and the prancing rhythms of Misc. round out the compilation. All these bands suffer from sad souls and have heavy sounds because of it; a perverse cohesion, sure, but with their intensity, this collection plays out as a slow-burning, meditative and, ultimately, immaculate listen.
