4 out of 5 stars Solid, lovely to listen to (yes, I said "lovely").......2007-06-09

I can see planets moving in the cosmos when I listen to James McMurtry. This is an album full of great tracks. I've got other recordings of some of them, and I wouldn't prioritize any over others, because James McMurtry is so emotive that ...any particular day, even if you get a different sound, it's a good one. But for a good set of recordings on a single CD you can leave in the player or take on a trip, this is nice. I am enjoying it time and time again, and will most likely listen more to this album than my older ones, unless I'm on a huge James kick, and want to hear more of a range.

    4 out of 5 stars Guy Clark: The quintessential Singer/songwriter.......2007-03-24

    "He's one of those who knows that life
    Is just a leap of faith
    Spread your arms and hold you breath
    Always trust your cape"

    Guy Clark is a national treasure. Simply put a gifted songwriter who capture's the essence of every day life. His rugged voice, wonderful lyrics and catchy melodies never fail to entertain and illuminate. He deals with our inner angst with humor and insight in his songs. He captures the moody moments of growing up in America during the last half century. His humor, his meticulously crafted metaphor make him one of our best songwriters. Since I heard his first album OLD NO. 1 back in the seventies he has been at the top of my list with Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, John Prine and Leonard Cohen.

    This new CD American Masters Series: Best of the Sugar Hill Years will not be available until Tuesday but it contains fresh material not available on Guy's most prominent Albums. Songs in the Clark Arsenal include classics such as LA Freeway, Desperado's Waiting for a Train, Texas 1947, The Last Gunfighter Ballad, One Paper Kid, Better Days, Home Grown Tomatoes, Watermelon Dream, Immigrant Eyes, The Cape and the wonderful Randall Knife. They are part of the fabric of our culture. Those along with a hundred others songs with iconic lyrics and touching melodies are now part of his and our musical heritage. If even one of the songs on the new CD is half as good as any of these songs it will be worth the price of admission.

    In short he is the quintessential singer-songwriter of his day. I always look forward to the newest Guy Clark CD and can not wait to hear this new record.

    "Sometimes when I look in my grandfather's Immigrant Eyes
    I see that day reflected and I can't hold my feelings inside
    I see starting with nothing and working hard all of his life
    So don't take it for granted say grandfather's Immigrant Eyes"

    * Arguipelago.
    * Thought Line.
    * Feel It.
    * Two Full Moons and a Trout.
    * Cram It Up Your....
    * Obsessions.
    * Sirocco

    5 out of 5 stars Dreamy Progressive with a hint of Funky.......2006-03-06

    Hernan does a great job at bringing the best elements from the lost art of progressive and blending it with contemporary, tribal, atmospheric finesse. Each CD brings its own mood to the table and executes it with precision. The first CD is a little funkier and chill with the second CD a relentless deep progressive experience. All the while it gives some consistency with hints and accents of dreamy atmospherics that truly distinguish Cattaneo as a Renaissance Master. The first CD favs are 2, 5, and the progressive tribal luciousness of track 6. Track 3 on disc 2 is an emotive wonder as well as midway through 5. An excellent purchase that I am 100% involved with now.

    5 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!!.......2006-02-16

    This is what I believe to be Hernan at his best. Some of the best progressive I have ever heard. He is one of the best in the world and he proves it here. Both CDs are amazing. There are very few CDs that I can listen to in there entirety. Both of these CDs are included in that select group.

    5 out of 5 stars Renaissance: The Master Series, Vol. 2 mixed by Hernán Cattáneo.......2006-01-29

    If you like deep progressive sound, this one is essential pick.

    This album is a clear evidence why Mr.Cattaneo is so regarded in
    house scene. Mixing is flawless and beatiful, whit quality tracks.

    5 out of 5 stars The return of progressive house.......2005-11-23

    If you're like me, bored with progressive house DJs trying to break new grounds with material that is maybe 20% danceable, relieve yourself - get this CD. Both mixing and track selection are on par with Dave Seaman's very best releases, and the style is similar. At last, here's again THAT intelligent, rich, mind-blowing, stomach-twirling house that keeps dancefloor crazy for the whole night and haunts you for weeks. Would love the guy come to Moscow more that any other DJ in the World.

        2 out of 5 stars I tried... Lord, how I tried..........2007-04-15

        ...to fancy this album as much as any other Master's Series production. But it just isn't happening, and I have this distinct feeling I will never truly "feel" this mix. In the good name of EDM, I will further explain myself.

        Though this is my first (and probably last) experience with him, I had high expectations for Sandy Rivera's eighth Master's series release - so much so that I had it imported from England for over thirty dollars. One thing I can immediately offer praise for regarding this album - the packaging is *spectacular*. I recall uttering something along the lines of "...Renaissance completely outdid themselves here," as I freed the case from its plastic bondage. Graphically, INSECT made yet another immaculate work of art.

        But on to the real meat - the music.

        Rivera's discs, simply put, are just too pop for me to take seriously! He possesses tasteful House beats - definitive, certainly worthy of the Renaissance label and definitely worth giving a listen to. So WHY, why, why then are there so many lyrics that are all so distasteful? Reciting the faded disco-glamour of women in high heels and satin and pompously flaunting the "hip" disco-club scene, the words make the music feel like a joke. And this comes from someone who enjoyed Sharam's vocal-laced Global Underground "Dubai". On top of such finely crafted rhythms, which I think Rivera does quite well as far as mixing is concerned, such ludicrous lyrics make the album a tasteless endeavor overall. Splitting my concentration to focus solely on the beats and instrumentation was difficult to do, too, since the voices are so mockingly piercing. At one point (I believe it was either "Crimes" or "Bonafide") I actually thought that I was hearing vocal samples from a Backstreet Boys song.

        So why cant I simply judge this album based on the tracks which are not infected by these vocal viruses?

        Because there are none!

        Believe it or not, at this precise moment I cannot recall a single track of the twenty-six he provides us with that doesnt incorporate some sort of lyrical mutiny (save Tigerskin's "Neontrance" and Buick Project's "Luminaire"). Now that I've mentioned the two vocal-less tracks, however, I feel I should laud Rivera for inserting these gems into his mix, but wait! There are more caveats, yet. "Neontrance" made a fantastic appearance on John Digweed's "Transitions," but Rivera's seems stripped down and anticlimactic by comparison. "Luminaire," on the other hand, is one of my favorite electro tracks of all time. While the best versions that I have heard are on Buick Project's "Productions and Remixes" and Dave Seaman's "Master's Series Pt. 7," I cannot complain about Rivera's. So, disregarding the inclusion of a track already released on the "Master's" CD preceding this one, I do think that "Luminaire" works. As soon as those hauntingly beautiful melodies subside, it's back to disco-weirdness.

        Sandy Rivera does extreme instrumental justice to this Renaissance album. Utilizing very uplifting musical movement in a sensible sequence, this is quite simply a well-mixed, fantastically paced disco-house album marred by more-than-awful vocals.

        I suppose I could still hang the packaging up on my wall...

        ...Better luck next time, Sandy.
