Search : Kiss Me, Kate
The wizards at Rhino have put us once again in their debt for this re-release of the soundtrack to MGM's Kiss Me Kate. For anyone who loves the Broadway musical and its Hollywood incarnation, this recording is an essential part of any collection.

Musical lovers have historically been very poorly served by the "original cast" and "soundtrack" recordings. What should have been glorious mementos of the theatrical (or cinematic) experience have often turned out to be savagely butchered and indifferently reproduced shadows of what could have been. With the extended playing time of CDs and the efforts of enthusiasts who (at last) recognise the treasures lying in the studio vaults, many musicals are being re-released in greatly improved sound and including previously unreleased orchestral ...

I spent the first ten years of my life on the shores of Lake Michigan, swimming on days when folks in other parts of the country would wear a jacket. They have a different definition of "hot" up there. Apparently their thermal definitions extend to the musical world as well. For this is not hot music. Warmish maybe, the temperature of a cup of tea that is almost, but not quite, undrinkable. There are no standout tracks on this CD. No stinkers either. Just pleasant enough, standard issue Twenties stuff, that vanishes as soon as the track completes.

Here's a quote from the back of the CD "I regard each 78 rpm recording as a complete historical and sociological document through which the entire development of jazz cane be documented, traced and studied and I want to share this music with you all." ... Read More

I discovered Mayumi by accident, listened to some samples, and I was blown away. It has tons of great songs. The vocals are gorgeous, the rhythms are completely infectious. Just pop it in and it brings your whole energy level up. This woman is such a largely undiscovered treasure.

"Broken China" came out in 1996, on the heels of Pink Floyd's "P*U*L*S*E*," and just like listening to any solo effort by any of the others, one can hear the ingredients he contributed to the Pink Floyd juggernaut. And here, he had help from fellow post-Waters Floyd bandmates Tim Renwick and Anthony Moore. Renwick played guitar behind Gilmour and Moore contributed to the writing as well.

On September 18th, I read about the September 15th death of Wright, and as usual, news like this jarred me. It's odd, some people you have never met, people like Wright, become a part of your life, and when they're gone, there is an emptiness where they once were. So I got out all my Pink Floyd recordings and had my own little mourning session. I knew he wasn't against the occaisional toot of cocaine, and at 65 years ... Read More

A true treat: de Souza and producer Nicola Conte offer 11 different takes on the songs from de Souza's critically acclaimed debut album "Garota Moderna" ("Modern Girl"). Hers is the sultry voice that evokes memories of the best Brazilian vocalists of the 1960's and their total passion for their craft and de Souza joined their ranks with the stunning premiere volume of her discography. With this disc, we are presented with remixes of those songs that offer an entirely new dimension to this now classic album. The reconstructions are accomplished by the likes of Zero db, Stateless, Big Bang, Buscemi, Dining Rooms, Raw Deal, The Truby Trio, Povo and more. Each is well known in the chillout community of remixers and they have each performed an invaluable service to music lovers everywhere. Highly recommended!

Well, where do I start? This CD is an amazing compilation of Canada's greatest ska bands. If you are into ska then you are into this. A true ska fan already owns this CD so if you are a true ska fan and you don't have this CD, tisk tisk. There is nothing bad with CD except for the fact that it ends. I would reccomend this CD to anyone and everyone.5 stars is just not enough. The best tracks on this CD are 1 to 16. As you can see I am a true ska fan. And I love this CD!!!

This CD is absolutely beautiful! Hayley's voice is possibly the best female's voice that I have ever heard. Every note is hit perfectly. I am just in awe of her talent. There is an excellent mixture of classical, pop, and hymn-like music on this CD. My personal favorites would have to be Benedictus, Who Painted the Moon Black, and Heaven.

I would highly recommend this enhanced version. The extra CD has 7 extra beautiful songs on it, including 3 Christmas songs.
