Extraordinarily Good Music

I had the pleasure of playing a show with Tally Hall recently, which is how I discovered their unique brand of incredibly catchy music.  I've been listening to MMMM just about nonstop for 5 days now, and it just keeps getting better.

How to describe their sound?  And, this isn't to say they sound derivative - this is some pretty imaginative and original stuff here - but imagine the best parts of TMBG, Phish, The Dissociatives, Queen, Weezer, and The Beatles, all tossed into a mixing bowl with some bananas.

The album is well-mixed, and features some top-notch production.  As a musician, I'm inspired; as a music fan I'm thrilled.  You want to hear this.

This is one of the most stunning new CDs I've heard in a long time.  This band can blend styles on a dime and make it sound seamless.  There is so much going on here, it's hard to wrap my head around it.  I just got this disc yesterday and can't stop listening to it.  The horn and string sections make it so unpredictable, you never know what's just around the corner with this these songs, especially Rube Goldberg Variations.  Very powerful.  Bravo.  Unbelievably great, unreal.  A must for proggers, don't even hesitate to pick this up.

This is the some of most amazing and fulfilling music ever. The sound enters your ears, then massive amounts of endorphins flow throughout your body continuously through every second as you listen to this  album.
  When the album ends, you play it again, and again feeding your craving, beneficial addiction.
  There are some strong influences from the greats, of the great at their best:{( Yes, Genesis) of which they are easily on a par with.}
  Their style is uniquely satisfying. The arrangements are stellar and very moving

 Johannes Luley's  guitar has much of a Howe/Hackett magic. An
  incredible driving force.

 Tom Lynham `s  Banks/Wakeman-ish style keyboards are perfection in
  tone attack, texture with awe-inspiring hooks.

Ryan Downe's  vocals are heavenly passion, moving in such an
  interesting and complementary melody. He also does a
  great job on bass with the classic Prog tone.
  (Squire/Geddy/Rutherford)..

Matt Swindells `s  drums are solid throughout the odd times with
  excellent placement of accents and fill.

 The interaction of all the musicians parts together form the perfection.  I hear they are already working on a second album presently.  Prog is very much alive. This new Prog band  has a masterpiece on it's first outing. Really looking forward to the next.  With sincere enthusiasm,  kazthebassman

This is simply an amazing recording. I'm not even going to try to describe it or justify my opinion. But I listen to a lot of music from a lot of different genres, and this is one of the CDs I've come back to more than any other. It's mind-bogglingly good. Some days I just can't even believe how good it is. It's so good.

So very impressive....fusion/acid jazz of the highest caliber, set of tracks and so on. You'd want to re listen it for sure

I bought this record, minus the bonus track, a year ago.  It is by far the best off-the-cuff purchase that I have ever made, and it is well on its way to becoming my favorite album.  Every song here is a winner, and the  combination of them is astonishingly beautiful.  From the exhilarating  opening riffs of "Hyperspace" to the bittersweet music-box ending  of "Robot," this album is flawless.  The bonus track is  excellent, as well.  Even as an import, this album is worth every penny of  its price; you can't possibly be disappointed.

There is just too little music like this out there that is thisenjoyable.  "Capable Egg" was lent to me by a friend whoknows my fondness for quirky blends of sophistication and whimsey andthis collection of songs has become an instant favorite.  Shades ofMerrie Amsterberg, Madeline Peyroux and Lisa Lauren, each tune amusesand enthralls.

With great musicians like Garcia and Grisman I had high expectations. But, wow, this album is even better than expected. The playing is subtle and tasteful, with side musicians adding instruments like the penny whistle, jew's harp and fiddle to Garcia's guitar and Grisman's mandolin. The song selction is outstanding, with clever, catchy tunes like "Hopalong Peter" and "Hot Corn, Cold Corn". Th whole CD has the feeling of a front porch sing-a-long, with not only kids but people of all ages joining in on the fun. If you love high quality acoustic music then, no matter your age, this is a worthwhile purchase.

I've always enjoyed Great Scores and this album is no exception, but while reading some of the customer recommendations posted on this site I discovered a group by the name of MEHDl (pronounced medie). After an online search I found their site (S00THINGMUSIC,C0M) and listened to the samples...
I was instantly blown away by the quality of this music and so I gave it a try and now that I have listened to these CDs several times I really must say that although I'm still a big fan of this CD, I find MEHDl to be a great addition to this CD. I have them both in my multi-disc CD player and love the way they compliment each other. I highly recommend that you give this artist a try or atleast just go listen to the samples, I have a feeling you'll be glad you did.

Seriously, some brilliant music and storytelling. Not to be missed sound.

If you love the capricious nature of Boccherini's chamber music, in particular that of the guitar quintets, you will definitely enjoy this album. La Real Camarata's playing is superlative; each movement is infused by the "galant" spirit so characteristic of Boccherini's music, the balance is excellent and the playing and intonation faultless.

What is perhaps the most astounding about these pieces, written for two violins and cello (i.e., basically a trio sonata ensemble without harpsichord, quite obsolete by the time Boccherini wrote these works), is that they do not sound like they are written for a trio at all, but rather a string quartet. Boccherini exploits the instruments ingeniously, often using double-stops and open strings - the latter particularly in the cello part - to achieve a sonority that is of astounding resonance. Particularly enjoyable about these late works is that they are so typical of Boccherini's distinctive mature style, which many listeners will no doubt recognize from the much more famous guitar quintets. These trios are equally well-written and pleasurable.

Definitely one of the best CD's I've heard recently and a very valuable addition to the catalog of Boccherini recordings!

In my excitement of getting this CD I made the mistake of listening to it on my work PC speakers.  It was nice, but nothing stellar.  I then listened to it on my high-quality earphones.  Much better.  Then I got it home and  listened on my stereo (built specifically for good bass response).  Wow!  The louder it gets, the better it gets.  The depth of sound is remarkable,  and you can easily lose yourself in it.  Yet at any moment you can pick out  each and every instrument playing, and follow its contribution to the  whole.  I've listened to it more times than can be considered reasonable,  and am still finding riffs, melodies, and rhythms I missed before.  I'm  certain I'll hear more when I set up my system for surround sound again,  and because of this CD, that time will be very soon.

Alain Morisod's music is extraordinarily beautiful. My family and I have puzzled over which instrument(s) he uses: could be an organ, could be a synthesizer, could be some other. Whatever it is, it is unique. I've downloaded (actually they are on the cloud) three albums at a modest cost and had many enjoyable hours of listening. The only caveat I have to offer is if you listen to them on the computer as I do, have good speakers or ear phones.

The music is superb. The execution is subjugating. If one likes this kind of music it is worth every penny. I would recommend it without any doubt.

I'm not sure what I expected, but this CD is very surprising. The playing is utterly astounding, and the sound reminds me, at times, of European jazz. I've bought copies for friends.
