Up there with the best of them!

As a designer I eat, sleep and breathe design. Design magazines, websites, books...and its not too often I do more than browse the photos. But this book I could not put down, I couldn't stop reading!! Its VERY amusing throughout, and filled with clear and concise information that will be easy to remember and followed by anyone.  As someone who knows the topic and has read quite a few design books, I can say this is up there with the best of them!!

WOW!  Murphy and Mullaney have teamed up, and together they've written one of the best, most entertaining books around!  I got my copy (autographed by both authors!) from Warren Murphy's webpage (his name, dot, etc...).  A new Novella by James Mullaney wraps up a lot of things nicely, and a short story to boot!  A neat twist: the fans interview the authors! A ton of "Chiun" is an added plus.
5 stars!

I love these guys! I think the fact they play their own instruments and stuff is great and they can sing too! Trev is damn fine also! I love "Stay" and "Baby Come Back" all the songs on this album will get your feet tappin and I have to say, this is one of my favourite CD's of all time!

This band contains four fantastic talents and they need to be seen live to be believed.  Rachel Price gets the headlines, as well she should.  However, the songwriting (mainly by the drummer), is first rate.  We coaxed some friends to come along with us (one a bass player in a current band) to see them live, and he was awestruck by the bassist's virtuosity, taking jazz/pop/rock songs and rasing them to a higher level in the rythme section.  So it isn't just the lead singer's voice and her presence on stage.  It is the rest of the band's muscial talents as well, making this one of the most refreshing finds I have heard in 10 years. I have to believe their "genre" somewhat falls between the cracks, because even though they seem to sell out every small venue in the NYC area from Hoboken to Mahhattan to Williamsburg, they just don't seem to get that much airplay -- even on "alternate" stations like WFUV.  I hopefully won't be complaining about this lack of recognition in a year or two, because I hear from friends I've contacted to attend concerts in other cities that they come back with the same "high musicality" "high virtuosity" and Rachel Price voice + presence that I have experienced.

If you like these (CH, BP, JM) trade friendly artists you better don't miss this fantastic double CD. You'll enjoy the great 7 strings (electric & acoustic) guitars played by Charlie, John's keys & the drum MASTER in a not often heard jazz trio. Dive below sea level or ride your player above sea level and good journey! My favorite song is 'Seoul Tower', but you'll find MANY jewels above or below. Three MASTERS performing in a wonderful collection.
Ahhhh! Long live The Fred!

They are excellent. When you see them live--they are even better!! I look forward to more albums. This group is going places.

Absolutely fantastic set of tunes. It is crazy to think that some of these songs are nearly 40 years old. The Residents breath such freshness into songs running the gamut through their 40+ years of doing their thing. Randy's screams and growls are spot on, and deliver a crazy intensity to these songs. Bob's guitar is brilliantly used in a cutting, yet sparingly fashion, accenting the beautiful madness spewed forth from Chuck. This is a high energy release from the Rz, unrelenting in its ferocious passion, grabbing you close and holding you tight till the end. Cheers, here here, and here to another forty years!

We finally get to see a glimpse of Robert Prizeman, the master behind this group.  And what a group!  The DVD's extras are great, with lots of interviews of the boys and extra songs that aren't on the CD (Ave Maria is the best).  It's music that's been on their previous releases, but to see them do it live is really a treat.  Prizeman knows exactly what to feature about a boy's voice and how to blend textures, creating an etheral sound that envelops you.  Excellent musicality, and the choir has such confidence.  From the interviews I would guess that Libera must have very good people in management to create such a great program for youth.  The camera work was a treat, lots of close up shots as well as group shots, making it a great experience overall.

And you won't be able to keep yourself from smiling when you see Josh, the soloist with the permanent cherub smile.

This album shows off their skills wonderfully! The only thing better is to see them live!!! Although "Feels Like Home" is still my favorite cd from these guys I am often playing this as well.

The song REady To Fly is worth the price of admission.  Oh yeah, the rest of its pretty darn good also.  Get it!

I got the whole set. They are all wonderful in their own respects. But this one may very well be the best. I've sat through a few showings of it now and each time it gets better. This was the last night of 4 nights in a row at different venues.

As usual the sound, video, show, production...all great. Excellent audio and video production. I like this mix even better than on last tours Beacon show. This is some of the best reference quality sound for a blu ray concert that I know of. It's absolutely outstanding. If you've got a good system you will be VERY happy. (Hint hint...Hey RUSH....you need to bring back Kevin Shirley...this puts the latest CA Live blu ray release to shame!) Joe's voice shines here where in past concert videos he was a few db's too low. Guitar, drums, bass, keyboards...everything is well balanced. The band(s)... both acoustic and electric are spot on solid. The video shines too. No hurky jerky cut pan and zoom 1 second shots. Every one gets showcased properly.

Each show in this 4 blu ray set has something great to offer. Large to small venues. Blues, R&B, and in your face Rock and Roll guitar! But this is his best RAH disc. Probably his best live release yet. Beacon now a close second. Followed by all the others in this set.

I've been a lifelong Deep Purple fan. I own EVERY studio album they have made. This ranks up there with the best. Very well crafted songs. Ian Gillan is at the top of his game. I really think this is the best he has sounded since the early 70's! It's great to hear what Don Airey brings to the band. He has a style very similar to Jon Lord, but I hear hints of Keith Emerson in there too. Steve Morse is brilliant, as always. Roger Glover and Ian Paice are rock solid and probably the most underrated rhythm section in hard rock! Do yourself a favor and grab this. It's a real treat.

The high points of this collection definitely puts it into the must buy category of any 60's music afficianado. They are The Scot Richard Case (early SRC)recordings of not one but 2! Pretty Things covers plus a version of I'm So Glad which easily equals The Cream. Their original song Who is That Girl and cover of The Who's Cobwebs and Strange are great also. The 2 MC5 recordings sound better than ever especially the fabulous Borderline. Iggy Pop lays down the blueprint for his fine singing voice which we all know and love on I'm a Man. But the "Big" find has to be a group called Half-Life whose song Get Down actually gives the MC5 a run for their money (Please! there has to be a full album by these guys somewhere). Oh,did I forget the great demo version of The Frost's Mystery Man. The rest is less hard rock type music(more Hollies and Zombies,there's even a great cover of Time of the Season) but I'm sure it'll sink into my subconscious eventually. An all around fantastic compilation that really makes me drool thinking about The Rationals collection that's on the way. To hear these classics from the original master tapes instead of from crummy sounding bootlegs will be a wonder to behold!

Another treasure of heart-centered words set to beautiful melodies, gut-wrenching stories with lilting, stick-in-your-head tunes, along with earthshaking jams that reverberate all the way to your bones! The success of the brothers and Paul, and their adjunct members, seems to me, worthy of more recognition than they get! Long awaited, with this album, they have again produced some of the most diverse, can't be label or boxed-in music in the market today. What does it sound like?????  More!!!!!

These guys and gals are tremendous.  We saw them recently and if they're near you, go see them.  Love them!
