It's not that Garbage is doing anything particularly new. At times, singer Shirley Manson borrows Chrissie Hynde's phrasing, Patti Smith's rock beat poetry, and Brian Wilson's chorus from "Don't Worry Baby." But producer Butch Vig provides a modern sheen to Version 2.0 that makes it sound fresh and distinctly modern. Purists may blanch--the album is a hybrid of rock guitars, dance rhythms, and pop choruses--but songs such as "I Think I'm Paranoid" (a rip of Elastica) and "The Trick Is to Keep Breathing" (Depeche Mode, without the chill) sound great no matter what they're called. --Keith Moerer

Thundering and sultry.......2007-06-12

Version 2.0 is a very dynamic CD... yes, there are lots of other influences on it, but nothing very original has come out in the electronica genre in many years... everything out there builds on something else. We all have our own tastes and faves, and mine are "Hammering in my Head", "Push It", "The Trick is to Keep Breathing" and "You Look So Fine". "Hammering" and "Push It" have to be listened to very LOUD, preferably on a serious system. The bass on those tracks is seriously fat... and it sounds great. Shirley Manson makes this CD though - in every way.

Rip it all to shreds and let it go.......2007-05-08

If there were a such thing as 90s new wave, this would be it. Here's some awesome techno-influenced rock...this came out almost ten years ago but the songs still sound pretty cool. I don't care if this was directed towards the 14-year-old girl demographic or whatever...I've always really dug this CD, and the one before it. I wish more pop music sounded like this album! It's been said by some that this is Garbage's best, but for me it's a toss up between this one and the debut (I personally think the debut had better lyrics)... in any case the band's music definately went downhill after this point. Not the most original thing in the universe I guess, but for sure still a good listen.

The Pretenders + Romeo Void + Beach Boys + Salt'n'Pepa = Garbage V2.0.......2007-04-13

Naming their sophomore album like it was the latest product from Microsoft made me initially distrust Garbage's second album, but time has really given this a fair shake. More guitar heavy than the debut "Garbage" but cut from a lot of the same cloth, Shirley Manson pouts, preens, breathes heavily and makes like a world class rock lady on the whole album.

My initial frustrations with the album are still there, however. "Version 2.0" There is way too much here that is outright swiped from other artists, and with nary a wink to hide it. Romeo Void pops up in "Sleep Together," The Pretenders are quoted in "Special" (down to Manson singing "Talk of the Town" during the song's fade and Chrissie Hynde getting a thank you in the liner notes), while "Push It" at least gives Brian Wilson and Herbie Azor (the writer behind Salt'n'Pepa) songwriter credits.

That shouldn't stop you from enjoying "Version 2.0." Garbage takes the 'influences' -- and I use that term broadly -- to make memorable music. Butch Vig played some great guitar on this cd, like on "Hammering in My Head." Veering from the giddy new-wave of "Special" to the emotionally delivered ballad "The Trick is to Keep Breathing," this was a band that was in their moment. Nine years later, "Version 2.0" remains a listenable artifact from 1998.

This is a awesome Garbage cd.......2007-03-15

I would definitely buy again from this place

A Sonic Masterpiece.......2007-03-12

This is one record I don't know if I'll ever forget. I've loved it ever since the first time I listened to it. While some jealous Curve fans may dismiss the album (hey, listen to THEIR 2001 album "Gift" back-to-back with this and tell me who's ripping off who), this album is a bit less in use of the backwards guitar effects and wall-of-sound distortion of the debut. It is an electronic rock album, and one of the absolute finest that I've ever heard.

The record can be sexy at times, and it can also be heartbreaking and such at the same time. All 12 songs are amazing. The record begins with the new-wave inspired "Temptation Waits," a Blondie-esque track with lots of hooks and dancier than anything on the debut. "Hammering in My Head" and "Push It" are still as breathtaking as the first time I heard them. "Hammering" shows their artistic experimentalism at its best, and I hear something new in it each time. "Push It" is the main single from the album and quite possibly the greatest. They cleverly borrow from the Beach Boys for a hook and then have a hard-hitting chorus. I hear the album was made with about 120 tracks, and these two tracks certainly make it seem that way. For me, this album is a musical dream. "The Trick Is to Keep Breathing" and "You Look So Fine" show a more tender side of Garbage and are true gems. The former is a bit darker of the two, with the bass lines standing out and then the other one is a well-orchestrated track with some awesome Shirley Manson melodies. There's some quirkier tunes in "Wicked Ways" and "Sleep Together," and then the more straightforward tracks like "Dumb," which wouldn't sound too out of place on the first record.

Experimentation with great songwriting and hooks all over, it's just hard to ignore this record. The debut is good too, but I felt this album was even better, a progression from that one. I never get tired of listening to any of these songs. One of my top five albums of all-time.

This is one of the first techno cd's I ever listened to and it remains one of my favorites.My friend introduced me to Micro when I joined the scene back in 99'and I have been hooked ever since!This combines the classic micro style ,the tech/trance/breaks with a little bit of house.Any true fan of dance music MUST have this bangin mix.If you like this one check out his other great cd's ...Tech Mix 5,Tech Mix 2000,Mixed, and Out Thru The Input.

Classic Micro.......2004-01-10

Like the other reviews, the beginning of this cd is Micro . . . so it is descent; but not packing the trancy punch and vibe usual to micro's work. But like i said this is Micro, and he puts a mindblowing remainder of the cd. The cool, loungy feel of BT with his own style incorporated, and doesn't stop with more energy abounding from there. Bass fans will love the sound later in the album and love the next album: tech mix 2000, my favorite cd in my collection. Old school, nu school, trance and house fans will be united with micro's mix.

it's Micro! what did you expect?.......2000-11-06

i may be a little biased, but this album is my favorite of Micro's because it is how i first got introduced to his sound. I've had this album for almost 2 years now, and i still enjoy it completely! In his "upgrade" of the original Micro-Tech-Mix, version 2.0, Micro doesn't waste any time getting down to business. the first track is micro's own remix of fellow moonshine group cirrus' "Stop and Panic." As the next couple of tracks go by, you will notice the music getting deeper and more progressive, bringing us up to Transa's "Behind the Sun." Mixed right in after that is BT's popular cut "Godspeed," which marks the middle, and possibly the peak. following "Godspeed" are a bunch of 'okay' tracks, and Micro's journey ends with the powerful "S-Express" by Phil Fuldner. all in all, this album is quite impressive. version 2.0 got me into the Micro sound--the progressive trance, the breaks, the caffein-style...buy it!

Tasty rollercoaster ride through the trance experience.......2000-09-13

This CD doesnt waste any time breaking into what seems an endless stream of smooth, well blended trance tunes. A highly recommended thrillride! Purchase and enjoy...........

More synth-wave gems from an overlooked 80s band.......2007-05-08

Moody male vocal, swirling synths, danceable drum machines, and gorgeous melodies make Images in Vogue one of the best ignored new wave groups of the 80s.

Where as "best of" collected many of the band's power pop/synth-rock new wave tracks, Collection version 2.0 covers their more avant-garde synth-new wave tracks that should have been eaten up by alternative stations in the early 80s. This is new romantic era at its best, offering something fresh for those who listened to the likes of Our Daughter's Wedding, Gary Numan, OMD, and Ultravox. You'll also find the bigger single releases like the gorgeous synthpop dance track Lust for Love and Call it Love, and tracks that perfectly blend new wave guitar riffs into the mix to give the strong pop song structures more of an Icehouse feel. Simply the best of the sounds the 80s had to offer--and a band that is worthy of the 3 volumes of collection available, all of which fill the CDs to capacity.

Surprisingly, there are a few extravagant instrumental synth tracks, including Travel and For Germans, that are a bit over the top--they sound like really cheesy 80s soundtrack stuff--but it doesn't hurt to have them on here to get the complete Images in Vogue experience.

Without a doubt, if you loved all the new wave synth bands of the 80s (need I name them?) then you should absolutely get the three Images in Vogue collections.

BUY THIS CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-04-15

Every song on this cd leaves you wishing the 80's had never ended.

Lust For Love by far is one of the best songs ever written!

If you like this Cd you should also buy The Best Of= Real Life (Send Me an Angel)

A must have for fans of old school electronic pop music!.......2004-01-25

If you were ever a fan of the synth based pop music of the early to mid eighties, this is a must have CD to own. Canada's only real answer to the music coming out of Europe in the late '70's, early '80's, Images in Vogue's most obvious influences were the likes of Ultravox, Japan, Yellow Magic Orchestra & Kraftwerk. However, they managed a unique & interesting hybrid sound that still rocks solid today.
This CD was obviously a labour of love, clearly filling in the gaps of the groups history from the previous best of collection. It includes several unreleased rarities (Travel, Quiet Room, Look Me in the Eye, Someday) as well as several never before available on CD album tracks & single versions (Call it Love, In The House & Save It). The only repeat song from their collection volume 1 that I can see is Lust For Love, an understandable choice considering the songs past & current popularity. This CD sounds so good you have to hear it yourself to believe it!!

The Bach renaissance--which began in earnest in the early 19th century thanks to the efforts of Felix Mendelssohn and others--inspired an endeavor of far-reaching significance. It led to the founding of the Bach Society in 1850, with the goal of gathering and publishing the composer's complete works, and thus set into motion one of the great projects of musical scholarship. That effort has continued and been refined throughout the 20th century, ultimately influencing not only our perception of how to perform early music but fundamental ideas of musical history, evolution, and reception as well.

Teldec's mammoth Bach 2000 box set represents a kind of culmination of that original attempt to come to terms with Johann Sebastian Bach's unparalleled legacy. This set brings together performances recorded over the last several decades--a small percentage of the recordings are previously unreleased--of all the extant works determined by modern scholarship to be authentic. There are also some pieces the authorship of which is still in question and a few now deemed "inauthentic" but familiarly associated with the composer. Bach was a prodigious reviser of his compositions, and alternate versions of a particular work have been included "where the changes seemed sufficiently important," such as the glorious Magnificat. No doubt manuscripts will continue to be unearthed here and there in various archives (Bach 2000 contains, for example, the "Neumeister chorales," which were rediscovered in 1984), but the set does not represent the many fragments of music that consist of just a few bars; however, there are some reconstructions of lost concertos (such as one for three violins reconstructed by Christopher Hogwood from an extant concerto for harpsichords).

Of course a truly comprehensive recorded edition of every note Bach wrote remains a utopian impossibility--about one-third of his cantatas, for example, have not survived. Even so, the dimensions of Bach 2000 are staggering. With its 12 boxes comprising 153 CDs, the set can be compressed into fewer boxes to save shelf space yet is still about ten times as long as the Ring cycle. (It should be noted that the packaging--using thin cardboard sleeves for the CDs--is distinctively unattractive.) That adds up to just under 160 hours of music--but a lifetime of discovery. Each box (grouped according to genre) contains a booklet with excellent notes on individual works and--for all the choral works--texts and translations. Tracking indexes are useful and thorough. Also included is a profusely illustrated hardbound volume of 24 Inventions, in which journalist Wolfgang Sandberger uses the composer's biography as a peg for some enigmatic and fascinating musings on the meaning of Bach today.

The presiding philosophy behind this project and its approach to musical interpretation can be largely ascribed to Nikolaus Harnoncourt, a true musical pioneer and galvanizing force of the "period performance" movement. Harnoncourt's epoch-making recordings of the sacred cantatas (using, for instance, boy sopranos and choristers according to the practice in Bach's time) with the Concentus musicus Wien and colleague Gustav Leonhardt comprise the first four volumes here (those who already own them can turn to the Bach 2000 Light edition, which contains everything sans the cantatas). These recordings--which were not remastered for this set--have long been controversial and are notably uneven, embracing some magnificent accounts as well as others that lack fire and seem clearly underrehearsed. But Harnoncourt is one of the most fascinating conductors of our era, and his interpretations amply bear out his assertion: "I have never felt that Bach worked in a routine manner, that he repeated himself in his works." Harnoncourt--who has articulated many of his ideas in his book The Musical Dialogue--displays his gifts as a cellist in a remarkably probing performance of the Cello Suites (originally recorded in 1965) and in his concertizing for a number of chamber works. For the St. Matthew Passion, you get Harnoncourt's groundbreaking earlier account from 1970, while his 1986 recording of the sublime B Minor Mass is also represented here (the St. John Passion included is Harnoncourt's 1995 acount).

Other artists included are colleague Gustav Leonhardt, whose thoughtful if occasionally dry harpsichord artistry is heard in the Goldberg Variations as well as in the concertos and chamber music. The harpsichord is in fact used throughout in preference to piano for the keyboard works. Ton Koopman (himself the conductor of an ongoing complete cantata series and of the Easter Oratorio included here) performs the organ works, including some newly recorded offerings, while Il Giardino Armonico's well-known high-energy account represents the Brandenburg Concertos. Violinist Thomas Zehetmair is exceptionally compelling in the unaccompanied sonatas and partitas, and the Concentus musicus Wien--again under Harnoncourt--perform a superb Musical Offering that richly repays frequent listening.

The result of Bach 2000 as a whole is an aptly encyclopedic grappling with the infinite legacy of this most compendious of composers, whose works are on one level a summation of all the styles available to him. Bach was once thought to represent a "terminal point" (to use Albert Schweitzer's famous formulation), the end of an era; today he is at least equally recognized as a fertile source of inspiration for composers since. To be sure, individual recordings of particular works will be found to be preferable, and it would be misguided to consider Bach 2000 any kind of "final" or "definitive" word. Instead, it's an indispensable starting point that represents a monumental achievement for our own contemporary understanding of Bach. --Thomas May

Customer Reviews:

Bach is priceless.......2006-11-10

I believe, as another reviewer has stated, Bach's music may be the best ever written. Also, I think the cantatas are not where Bach placed his heart and soul. He was, after all, employed as a canter and in a position he did not wish for, but was forced to take to feed his large family. (I recommend "Bach and the High Baroque" lecture series by TTC.) What really stands out on this collection are all works in volumes 8 and above. Some of these works are hard to find and having them all in this collection and preformed on original instruments is great. Bach is priceless and so then is this collection.

Buy the works you like...........2006-01-11

If you love Bach, which you must if you are looking at this particular item, you probably own a couple of his works already. Perhaps some of them are on the Teldec label. There is nothing wrong with Teldec if you are just getting into "classical" music. You will probably enjoy the music thoroughly. I know I did, as one of the first "classical" releases I bought was on Teldec, and it was Bach. I was amazed how great Bach was. Then my brother showed me the same recording, performed by another group, on another label. It had a lot more passion, and the instrumentalists were obviously of a higher level. Pardon my rambling, but what I'm trying to say is, the recordings found in this boxset are not the "cream of the crop." They are perfectly acceptable, easily listenable renditions of what many consider the greatest music...EVER. Take it from me, someone who has leapt into boxset land one too many times: Save your money, buy the individual albums. Take your time, talk to record store clerks (read Amazon reviews), do your research. If you are lucky enough to have a decent record store around, listen to multiple versions of the same work. No one said you had to buy it all at once. It can take a lifetime to fully realize the potency of this music, so enjoy the discovery as long as possible.

Poor Bach.......2005-11-26

In Antony & Cleopatra, Shakespeare wrote: "I shall see some squeaking Cleopatra boy my greatness...."

I am 99% in favor of original instrument performances, but there are limits. Just imagine if we had the same sort of thing going on with Shakespeare's plays -- men and boys playing all of the women's parts. And if we *really* wanted to be original, they would be squeaking boys "I' th' posture of a whore" (Shakespeare's words). Such performances would knock Monty Python
right out of business.

The Cantatas, which are the lion's share of this collection, are sung by boys, boys, boys. If you want to ruin boy choirs for yourself, then go for it. It might still be a novelty by the fifth CD but by the fiftieth, you will want to throw your &*%$ wig at the squeaking speakers, just as the exasperated Bach famously did with his own wig and his own boy choir. (For which he was reprimanded.)

Does Harnoncourt really, honestly think that Bach would have picked a boy choir if he could have had women? Does anyone seriously believe that Shakespeare would have preferred his parts played by boys instead of women?

If you buy this set, don't buy it for the Cantatas, unless (unlike Bach) you can tolerate immature voices with "wig-tossingly" inconsistent intonation. Hold out for Suzuki or Koopman. Stay away from the Rifkin perfomances, mostly because the recording quality is second and third rate by today's standards. Not that historical performances should be shunned, but you might want to think twice about 60 odd CDs worth of second rate sound.

A Treasure Trove.......2004-03-07

This set is the culmination of several decades of work on the part of the West German record label Teldec (formerly known as Telefunken-Decca). With their early-music subdivision Das Alte Werk (similar to DG's Archiv or Decca's L'Oiseau-Lyre), Teldec have been in the forefront of exploring the world of period instruments and authentic performance practice, with special emphasis on the works of J.S.Bach. The lion's share of recordings here was originally made for Das Alte Werk, with the odd exception here and there licensed from other labels in order to fill in the gaps. The centerpiece of the set is the famous recording of the 199 church cantatas by Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Gustav Leonhardt. If you're not familiar with the cantatas, there's a whole world of drama, color and expression right here waiting for you. You'll also be surprised to learn how many of the "tunes" you know from popular arrangements, like "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and "Sleepers Awake" are actually movements from cantatas. The names of Harnoncourt and Leonhardt pop up again and again; they were both mainstays of the Teldec roster. Leonhardt gives us his 1965 Goldberg Variations on a Dulcken harpsichord whose every tone is like a bell, and Harnoncourt's "home" recording of the Cello Suites (never intended for general release) shows the ferment of a great musical mind. Ton Koopman gives us his provocative and controversial re-thinkings of the organ works, and Thomas Zehetmair's performances of the unaccompanied violin sonatas and partitas are like dramatic scenes spoken by a solo violin. Here are the uniquely bizarre Brandenburg Concertos by Il Giardino Armonico; the rhetorical and transparent performance of the motets conducted by Harnoncourt (perhaps his best-ever recording); Leonhardt's relaxed and smiling versions of the harpsichord concertos; Alice Harnoncourt's tawny, leonine performances of the sonatas for violin and harpsichord; Harnoncourt's chiaroscuro-filled performance of the Christmas Oratorio, and so on. This set is one of the most worthwhile CD buys you could make. You will never be bored with this to dip into over the years.

147 out of 153 ain't bad!.......2001-04-29

Having listened to the complete set, I can confidently recommend it, if you would use a complete set of Bach's works.

If you really like Bach, it is well worth getting. You will read disparaging reviews which will tell you that there are better performances of individual works. But this is a great opportunity for a Bach lover to get very good versions of his entire oeuvre.

In the set of 60 CDs of sacred cantatas, there are about 6 duds, which feature out of tune boy sopranos! If you are not crazy about sacred cantatas, you can buy a set which omits them, which may be advised!

I love the version of the Mass in B minor, though it is very different from our set by Munchinger [which we really enjoy].

The Brandenburgs are great. THe first movement of the first concerto is a knock out! Very brassy and bombastic: quite different from the 3 or 4 other versions I have previously enjoyed.

We are a piano family and have many CDs of Bach keyboard works played on piano [though we also have the Well Tempered Clavier on harpsichord and clavichord] The keyboard performances in the set are all on harpsichord and are lively and very enjoyable.

It takes some getting used to the authentic Baroque flute performances: especially occasional out-of-tuneness. But these are also interesting and musically played.

Customer Reviews:

Beware when buying this CD!!!.......2003-11-26

I'd love to write a critical review of this CD, but sadly I've never heard this version. I've been trying unsuccessfully for more than a year to order it, and each time I've received the wrong CD: specifically, the Japanese import with extra track "Push It-- Boom Boom Satellites Remix" instead of extra tracks "Lick The Pavement" and "Thirteen." Apparently, there's a universal ISBN snafu surrounding these two imports.

I thought ordering from one of Amazon Marketplace's vendors would be a better way to go, but I've just received another wrong CD from one of them and I'm so frustrated I could spit kittens.

I'm sure the extra tracks are as good as the rest of the album we all got to hear in the States, so I gave the import 5 stars. But if you order it, be prepared for a long wait and a big hassle returning the incorrect CDs you receive. Good luck!

Version 2.0 is even better than their first CD!.......1999-10-24

Where do they get this unique sound? Our whole family loves Garbage, and our ages are 12-51 - amazing! Heard them in concert in Melbourne recently and they also put on a good show.
