I will be honest, this is the first Beck CD I have ever purchased. In the past I would here a track and say to myself, "wow that is so cool". It seemed like a post-modern mish mash, very unique---at first. In reality it was like Doritos...delicious at first, but not sustaining. I am glad there were all those previous recordings, playing with strange musicality (kind of ultra-white boy chic)and wacky lyricism because it leads to this release. Gamma Ray was the first track I heard, and I wanted to chalk it up to more junk food fare, but I could not. It was so infectious I had to have more. The rest of the CD is similarly brilliant, infectious, and actually of great substance. Modern Guilt is an appropriate title as I almost feel like I am selling out my indie-cool credentials in buying this (as ... Read More

2.Les Miserables Original London Cast by: Various Artists June 01, 2004

This may be the original London cast; but the recording is poorly done. I went to answer the telephone twice, before I realised that the ringing was a cell phone recorded on disc two of this set. I would return it, but it just is not worth the effort. It is most disappointing I do not recommend this item to anyone.

3.Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Once More, with Feeling by: Various Artists, Joss Whedon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christophe Beck September 24, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $18.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $14.99 You Save: $3.99 (21%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.93
I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The kids and I would watch these epsodia just to dance around to the music. So, when I found out it was on cd I had to buy it.

4.Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Score by: Christophe Beck September 09, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $17.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.99 You Save: $3.99 (22%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $10.87
If you enjoyed Buffy the experience was probably hightened by the amazingly beautiful under score that accompanied it. This CD is full of wonderful music from fun and upbeat to sad and scary. From the score of Buffy sending Angel to Hell, or the Gentlemen in Hush and the beautifully topped off with the score from The Gift when Buffy sacrifices herself. If this doesn't stir emothins within you nothing will.

After years of absorbing classical and jazz, I have recently begun to gain an education in other styles of music. I had not heard of Beck prior to having it recommended to me. I am so glad I picked up this album! The sounds, the revolutionary ideas, the crazy songwriting... all come together to make this an amazing album. I am not an expert in this music, so I will leave the detailed, long-winded reviews to those that know what they are talking about. I like it!

6.Sea Change by: Beck September 24, 2002

Buried in most of Beck's music is actual ability to write songs and melody, once you strip away all those loops and trickery, songs are buried under there. Sea Change brings all this to the front with perhaps one of the best breakup albums ever written, and I say this owning albums going back 40 years and over 8,000 songs in my iTunes library. Sea Change never feels old, never feels dated, and is a brilliant late night album to put on and just ponder. I'd give it six stars if I could, it's that good.

7.Guero by: Beck March 29, 2005

I was not a huge fan of Midnight Vultures -- I don't seem to ever feel like playing it -- but almost everything else Beck has done has been genius, and this overlooked album is no exception. It amazes me how something this original and this good didn't get more attention. When I first got it I played it all the time, then I put it away for a few weeks and then had to start playing it all the time again. As the months/years go by, it's earning a place among the albums that will never grow old for me -- Abbey Road, SuperUnknown, Exile on Main Street, The Bends. Classics of all kinds...like Guero.

I took my daughter to see the show live about a month ago and she's STILL singing some of the songs. She loves the MTH books and couldn't get enough of the play. That said, as an adult viewer it's just not the best stage show I've ever seen and some of the songs are a little hard to listen to. I applaud the Osbornes for providing their public with a way to be part of Jack and Annie's world and can truly say that my daughter loved the show, but I hope if they do this again that Mary Pope Osborne writes more of the script and that they work with a different composer.

9.Truth by: Jeff Beck October 10, 2006

Jeff Beck's Truth (1968) is a critically acclaimed and influential piece of work that features some great performances and historically rocks the blues. There are some great moments on this album, that's for sure. It also frustratingly lacks direction and purpose as a whole album. Truth is all over the place and there's not a lot of cohesiveness, and no concept. At times, it seems like it's a well organized all-star jam session that doesn't have any mission at all, other than to highlight the great performances. Jeff Beck had already made a name for himself as a guitar hero while working as a session player and as a member of The Yardbirds when he replaced Eric Clapton in the group. After leaving The Yardbirds, he formed The Jeff Beck Group featuring vocalist Rod Stewart, bassist Ronnie Wood, pianist ... Read More

great CD, many of the songs here take awhile to grown on you like Soldier Jane (not my fav at first) but this is the genius of beck, that guys is such a chameleon.The DVD that came with it now, its uh..not anything great but its amusing to say the least, the guys went to thrift /costume store and made a bunch of crazy homemade videos that are just "out there". Love the music tho!
