If Lucinda Williams and Edgar Allan Poe had a baby that baby would be Rykarda Parasol... okay, kind of a nutty point, but at least more biologically possible than all those "if Nick Cave and Johnny Cash had a baby" ones.  In any event this is great great music with highlights including "arrival, a rival" and "night on red river", and goodness gracious "hannah leah" is just outstanding.  Listen to the preview snippet of "hannah leah", and if those haunting backing vocals don't grab you then move on, but if you like that tune then buy this album and wear it out.

I have been following many artists on YouTube over the years, even before Google Purchased it. But this is the first time I have come across an artist that I liked enough to purchase their music and not just one song but the album. These men are remarkable with their talent. Every song is a new Journey into music itself and brings back the true feeling of being immersed in music.

This CD is amazing!!!!  It still has a lot of the rich orchestration and sounds that made him famous such as in `Mai', `L'ultima Notte' `Un Giorno per Noi' and `Un Dia Llegara'.  His voice is even better than ever, just as pure and beautiful, but he now explores more of his lower register along with his beautiful falsetto and really shows us his amazing vocal range.  But Josh Groban is not just one of the best male singers in our generation, he is also an all around musician and he shows it even more in this album.  He co-wrote 5 songs in the album and he co-produced 3, he also played both the piano and drums on the studio recording for several of the tracks. He is also exploring his musical heart and who he is as an artist.  Josh's taste in music is very varied, mimicking the musical taste of a lot of his fans (including me, I love rock, alternative, hip hop and even tango and classical music) and who he is as an artist is showing more than it ever has, evident in the songs he co-wrote, `February Song' (breathtaking and even haunting, one of my favorites in the album), `Now or Never' (simple vocals and a different arrangement away from orchestra, but you definitely feel his emotion on this song), `Machine' (an awesome mixture of jazz and almost funk that is incredibly well complemented by his amazing voice!! Also one of my favorites) and Awake (wow, this track is just feelings in a bottle!!).  Lullaby, another one he co-wrote complements `Weeping'.  `Weeping' is not only beautiful, but the addition of Ladysmith Black Mambazo makes it even more poignant especially if you know the history of the song.  I heard that Josh Groban himself heard on his last trip to South African and immediately wanted to record it. The song was written by a South African soldier about Apartheid and it's about moving forward from that dark period and make sure it never happens again.  It's just beautiful.  The diversity of sounds in this album in also incredible...you can definitely tell his growth as a person and as an artist in this album.  Bravo!!!  Just wonderful!!

Prince is a master showman and incredible performer, a bandleader in the vein of the great James Brown.  He's an excellent musician himself and his stage presence is unrivaled.  I can't claim to be familiar with his entire catalogue (who can?) but even material new to me doesn't fail to impress.  Whether jazzy or funky or electrifying on guitar (Whole Lotta Love!), this is one of America's great artists.

Beautiful and thought-provoking album from an incredible artist. The range of emotions and feelings conveyed, from yearning and frustration to wonder, acceptance, and hope will leave you awed and inspired. Another winner from a truly amazing singer-songwriter!

In a word filled with Top 40 bubble gum pop, it is so refreshing to still see that music like this exists.  This man not only has an amazingly beautiful voice, but is also a great song writer, a quality that seems to be hard to find in musicians these days.  Each song on this album has a haunting melody and it lingers with the listener even after the song is over.  It's very calming and the perfect type of music to come home to after a long day. This is a great CD and I truly look forward to more from this great man in the future.

Armin Van Buuren is the real deal.  I started listening to him awhile back one night when I was searching stations.  His music gets inside you and releases pure passion of the art.

I bought my first album after listening to one song that debuted on Classic FM (back when they were allowed to stream outside of the UK).  The song was "All through the Night" and I've been hooked on Aled ever since.  I gladly paid through the teeth at Amazon.co.uk or whenever I visited London.  His music is that good.  I have his albums on the speaker system at my work and of all the 50+ albums played, his gets the most inquiries.  I'm so glad that his music is now available in the states.  It really is the most beautiful, effortless voice I've heard.  And there is something else in his phrasing that is so incredibly sincere.  He's not just singing the words, he's feeling them.  I can't say enough wonderful things about his music.  Just buy a CD and you won't regret it.  I promise.  And for those looking for a truly unique Christmas experience, buy the Christmas album!

His music is so beautiful I could cry at times.  Amazing melodies combined with creative sounds & beats.  I normally don't like vocals but even the few songs with vocals are great.  A must-buy!
