604.......2007-04-04
The hits are wonderful and the other songs are a joy in their own way
IT DIDN'T BLOW ME AWAY...BUT IT'S GOOD ENOUGH.......2007-04-03
I bought this CD because I read the previous reviews and, more importantly, because I wanted to own the CD that yielded the spectacular song "Playgirl". But there was a problem. See, about 2 years ago, a friend of mine gave me a mix CD full of her favorite techno songs, but the only one I cared for was this weird, futuristic, fast paced, droid sounding song called "Playgirl". So, I figured I may as well buy the whole CD...mistake. The version of "Playgirl" that I was familiar with was nowhere to be found on the CD I purchased...and the rest of the CD was pretty mediocre, I felt.
Maybe it was the disappointment of finding out that my song wasn't on the disk, but I tossed this CD to the side for about 2 months afterwards. Then one day I popped it into my CD player while driving to see my friend. I guess listening to it months later made me realize that it wasn't so horrible after all. My honest opinion? Nothing on the CD is spectacular...but nothing on the CD is less than okay (does that make sense?). To put it another way, I don't LOVE this CD...I don't HATE this CD...I don't mind listening to it.
Best Ladytron album yet.......2006-03-20
...although I might be wrong because I haven't had a chance to get Witching Hour yet. I think their debut is the best as I got this one after "Light & Magic". Songs on "Light & Magic" have the redundancy of getting boring often although it's still a nice album to hear every once in a while. I don't know, I think they made their best effort on their debut. All the tracks seems worth hearing and all of them seem different and eccentric. I would say that this is best Ladytron album to get into for a first time listener. Awesome british sounding chick vox with dancy (sometimes chimey) beats! Must have!
Great First Album: Ladytron Proves their Worth with 604.......2005-06-22
If your new just figuring out what electroclash is or if you are a fan of the genre Ladytron's 604 is a great album packed with great beats catchy songs and interesting harmonies. With 80's instruments and modern production techniques the band is able to sound retro and futuristic at the same time. Overall the sound is fun although many of the tracks have a bit of a goth sentiment to them using the darker Eastern European vocals of Mira and the softer tones of Helaine. The band actually formed in a peculiar way when the two guys in the band met Mira in Bulgaria while DJing and then Helaine joined as they were recording their first singe "He took her to a Movie".
This track is actually on this album twice and while it does have quite an effect it is a rather simple song that is not nearly as developed ad many of the other tracks. This album is a certain must have is you are a fan of `80s music or if you want something that is truly cool. This album will quickly get under your skin and it will certainly become a favorite.

ummm,,,, yes--YES!!!.......2005-02-26
If the beats' look of the 1950s were placed in the year 2050, this would be Ladytron's look. If the sound were made to emulate innocent truisms and hardcore, well, just general hardcore-ness, this would be Ladytron's sound. I love this band. I love the two lovely ladies of the group, and I never get tired of their sound. It's a mish-mash of Gang of Four bounciness, mixed with unabashed keyboard Korg sound, mixed with the android-angelic vocals of a 1960's style vixen. Love this. You can't not love this.

Focus on the Recordings.......2007-07-23
I've made this small review of the Vivaldi Masterworks set because it is SO difficult to find a review of such a big collection.
The price is killer and you HAVE to buy it, but be warned: these are not the best recordings, you get what you pay for.
First of all, I'm not a Vivaldi expert, but I've heard his compositions throughout my life in so many different places and recordings and have a vague idea of how some have to be played. Secondly, I'm not a classical music connoisseur, but I love it and have over 300 discs of various composers and styles. Third, I know what a good audio recording should sound like and this will influence my critique of some discs in the collection. Finally, it's easy to get lost among all the tracks contained, so in some cases I will give you my favorite tracks in a disc.
I'm sorry, but I've only reached disc 20 of the box-set, as I listen to more this review will be expanded.
DISC 1:
Why would you use an AAD recording as a first impression for a 40 disc box-set and for the "Four Seasons", which is probably Vivaldi's best know work. The concertos are played enthusiastically, but lack any additional virtuosity to put it ahead of other much better recordings out there.
DISC 2:
Same as DISC 1, played and recorded by the same people.
DISC 3:
The pieces in this disc are VERY well played, nonetheless, you can hear heavy breathing from the soloist which can be a bit annoying.
DISC 4:
Very well performed as well, heavy breathing is less present.
DISC 5:
A very good recording, excellent execution by the hapsichord and good by the recorder.
Tracks 4, 6, 7 and the whole "La Notte" are extraordinary.
DISC 6:
Exquisitely recorded and performed by the Budapest Strings.
DISC 7:
Marvelous performance on the whole disc.
Tracks 22 & 24 are non-plus-ultra.
DISC 8:
Great performance too.
Suggested tracks: 7, 12, 15, 24
DISC 9:
To have an original baroque organ playing is a plus.
Solo strings are lacking in quality (for example: tracks 6 & 7).
Suggested tracks: 1, 4, 8, 15
DISC 10:
Despite being and ADD recording, the quality is fairly good. The cello is very well played.
Suggested tracks: 3, 4, 12
Excellent track: 13
DISC 11:
Same musical group and soloist as DISC 10. The contrabass is extremely distorted sometimes, and if you take into consideration that this is an ADD recording, it can get pretty bad. Some background noise is perceived.
Suggested tracks: 3, 6, 9
DISC 12:
The compositions are somewhat boring, either way the performance is plain decent.
Suggested tracks: 10, 12
DISC 13:
Good performance and sound quality.
Suggested tracks: 1, 4, 6, 7
Excellent track: 12
DISC 14:
Good performance and sound quality too.
Suggested tracks: 10, 14, 16
Excellent track: 5
DISC 15:
Badly mixed, the basoon is blocking the whole ensamble by being in the foreground.
The playing precision is lacking.
An AWEFUL thing about this recording is that you can hear the basson key-sticking with the instrument and the saliva. It's horrible.
Such a pity, the sound of the basson with other instruments can be pretty interesting.
DISC 16:
Violins sound a bit off tempo.
Suggested tracks: 4, 8
DISC 17:
Good sound quality and performance.
Suggested tracks: 1, 7, 9
DISC 18:
Despite being an old recording, it is a very welcome one.
The performance is very well above par. Tempo is fantastic.
The quality of the recording could have been better due to some string plucking that is heard and which can become bothersome.
These are some of Vivaldi's best know tunes.
Suggested tracks: 4, 6, 13
Excellent tracks: 1, 3
DISC 19:
Lively recording.
Track 6 is the same piece found in another disc in the collection, but with a better performance.
DISC 20:
By now you've heard all of this pieces before in the other discs. Nothing new here, nor better.
This is a fantastic deal!.......2007-02-25
If you are a fan at all of the Four Seasons you should love this music. I will admit right now that I am a classical music fan. I don't write or perform it. I am a novice listener. I have never taken any music lessons(though I am leaning in that direction) and certainly have not gone through any university music training. I started out in rock and roll but found classical as I got older and fell in love with it a few years ago.
With that context in mind I do hope I am able to recognize quality and this work is of the highest. It helps when you are starting with good ingredients in the first place. You can't bake great bread without great ingredients and Vivaldi's music library has some of the greatest musical ingredients of the last 300 years. They are very much the foundation for modern western culture and music. His talent is woven through what we are
The first 26 CDs are instrumental starting with the four seasons and working through many of the Master's many popular works. I will admit the four seasons are not the best interpretation I have heard but it is definitely acceptable. The rest of the music shows us many facets of the Baroque style and you can see themes emerging through some of the pieces that give us a 'fingerprint' of Vivaldi's style and the parameters of the stylistic leanings of the genre at the time. If you want to immerse yourself in 18th century music this is your chance
This music would be ideal for someone who owns a store and is looking for background music. With over 26 CDs of instrumental music alone you could have those constantly looping and you'd probably never get bored of them(OK I may be stretching it a little there). The reason is that the music does not leave a bad 'aftertaste' in your mind. It fits into the background as easily and naturally as it is to listen to it consciously in the foreground. If you are a fan of classical Baroque you don't usually need to be in the mood for this, it will adjust your mood to itself and Vivaldi's music is almost always of an uplifting sort if this collection is any indication. If you want something to listen to at your job 8 hours per day this is good for the mind and it would take you over a week to get through it if you listened to it every minute of every work day. You will also work without the worry of the music distracting your concentration. I find it enhances it when I'm working. I don't know how well this would work on school kids but teachers might want to try playing this during school time. You may create a few geniuses, we certainly could use more!
If you are looking for something to ease your sleep and oil your dreams I have put these CD's on in the background. Not only can I easily fall asleep when they are playing quietly in the background but it helps you sleep and you wake up in a very pleasant atmosphere if the music is still playing quietly when you wake(you probably would need to rip them to your MP3 player to do that). It's like napping at a classical music concert without the worry of being nudged by your spouse or offending the other concert goers with your snoring. That will be quite a unique experience for you and possibly give you some real sweet dreams. It has for me
So to wrap it up this is very intelligent, uplifting music that is great for your mind and your soul. It is definitely worth the purchase if you are a fan of the Four Seasons and the Baroque genre in my novice classical music fan's opinion
Excellent, Broad Selection.......2007-01-25
This 40-cd collection affords me a rare pleasure almost daily: the thrill of hearing something new by Vivaldi. Despite my best efforts over the years, I've managed to miss hearing a lot of great works by the master. Listening to a single CD now and then, catching tunes on the radio... you can't possibly get a comprehensive understanding of Vivaldi's output that way.
But when you work your way systematically from CD 1 through 40, you're sure to find many pleasant surprises. I've been skipping through everything I already know -- in some cases, it has only taken me about a minute to get through a whole CD (first 3 seconds of each track is usually enough). But then I stop and listen carefully three or four times to anything that's new.
Ah, what a pleasure. I've already acquired some new favorites. And some old standbys have proved even more rewarding, e.g. at first I thought RV 127 (CD 7, tracks 10-12) was performed too slowly (Naxos No: 8.553742 is much faster), but now I'm not sure; maybe it's BETTER that way! I can't recommend this set highly enough.
$70....when was this???.......2006-11-25
Wish the cost was $70 now. Guess the record producer (or Amazon) got tired of making less than $2 per CD.
$70/40... you do the math........2006-04-07
No, I don't own this collection...yet. However, the price of the collection compels me to review it beforehand. Never have I seen such a complete collection of Vivaldi compositions at such an incredibly low price. At $1.75 dollars a CD, the record producer (Brilliant Classics) isn't making much of a profit. The compilation pulls some of its works from DG Achiv Produktion's vault (see Standage), such as the violin concertos, as well as from unknown producers (the Poland Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra is heavily featured). The collection is so complete that it is academic, and I would not be surprised if music libraries quickly emptied it from Amazon's shelves. The collection is simply worth it for the incredible price (English Concert's recording of the violin concertos cost nearly 30 bucks, and is exactly featured here). Overall, the price alone makes this collection exceptionally attractive, and the ensembles featured aren't bad either.

Great CD - deceptive cover!.......2007-04-20
Although I have nothing but the highest praise for this superb recording, featuring the amazing musicianship of Mr. Rubsam, the CD cover is awfully deceptive. The beautiful full colour picture on the front - even taken from a great angle - is of the exquisite Silbermann organ in Rotha, Germany. I assumed (naively, I suppose) that the organ pictured was the organ recorded. Unfortunately, such was not the case. The recorded organ is certainly beautiful - the glorious Flentrop in the chapel of Duke University, designed, I believe by Professor Fenner Douglass - but for those people (including myself) who were hoping for the entirely different and utterly magical spell of Bach's music on a Silbermann organ, this is not the CD. As majestic as the Flentrop is, it could never be mistaken for a Silbermann. Howbeit, if you would like to hear these incomparable organ works (most of them lovely chorale preludes) on a grand organ rather in the great Dutch tradition, then this recording could not be better. The spacious acoustics of Duke's chapel are masterfully recorded here, and the landmark Flentrop has probably never sounded better. I scarcely need to say that Mr. Rubsam is an astonishingly talented organist, who interprets these pieces flawlessly.
In conclusion, if you were getting ready to buy this CD because you thought it featured a Silbermann, be forewarned - it is most certainly not a Silbermann. But if you would like to hear a great Flentrop superbly recorded and played, then I doubt you could find a better CD!

Is this what we once imagined the future would sound like? On 604 Liverpool-based synth-pop collective Ladytron show all the electronic hallmarks of 1980, only without the "New Dawn of Technology" neurosis. Remember in those days how man feared the totalitarian march of the machine? How we worried that our friends might be electric? That our minds might be toys? That video would kill the radio star? That human labor would be redundant and we'd all be reduced to a Mao-suited existence in some morose metropolis? OK, so 604 does contain a few Marxist nursery rhymes (sung by stern Bulgarian female vocalist Mira Aroyo) but it also contains a version of the theme tune to '70s sit-com "Are You Being Served" (sung sweetly by the kittenish "Bond girl" voice of Helen Marnie). Ladytron's inspired, accessible electro-pop is where latter-day, Tarwater-style Krautrock meets the melodic appeal of the Human League, the Pet Shop Boys and Abba, with just a little bit of the sociosexual commentary of Black Box Recorder thrown in for good measure. Gary Numan was never as much fun as this. --Kevin Maidment
Album Description
Ladytron successfully fuses together the cold darkness of computer rock with lingering catchy hooks found only in great pop songs. Like Human League and Kraftwerk, throw in a Giorgio Moroder bassline aimed at the dancefloor, and top it off with the rhythmic sensibilities of classic funk and England's Northern Soul Movement. 16 tracks. Standard jewel case. 2000 release.
Customer Reviews:
Get your groove back with Ladytron.......2004-07-03
Their debut should have knocked the block off the overrated, implodingly sugary pop scene.
Regardless of mainstream, this is pop music that should be getting everyone's attention.
It's filled with clever, time-warping references and killer...well...grooves! (and melodies)
Also, it contains cute synthesized interludes, which always build into the next coming sublime pop hook, but serve as a respite from the ecstasy this music induces all the way through.
From the frantically cool instrumental opener, all through the first songs, to the unstoppable "Playgirl" to the whimsical "Jet Age" and the very end of the album, this is an addictive mix of modern-disco, Bulgarian rap, and melodic bliss you absolutely shouldn't pass by.
And...may I add that this album's release was a perfect way to start off the new milennium.
sublime space-age electro-pop.......2004-05-06
"604" remains one of my favorite albums in the electronica subgenre of "electroclash". This music features retro, simplistic beats and often a bored-sounding female vocalist. As you can imagine from that description, a lot of electroclash doesn't stand up well to repeated listenings, but "604" is definitely an exception. The music is catchy without being too repetitive, aside from a track or two where I am just starting to think, "this has gone on too long" when the track ends. My favorite tracks are "Discotraxx" and "The Way That I Found You," but the whole album is pretty solid.
Ladytron have a great retro-futuristic vibe to their music--it sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie where everyone wears fabulous costumes and sits in bubble chairs. I suggest this music to add a sophisticated touch to any party, to listen to while driving, or to get inspiration while trying to design your new space-ace bachelor pad.
to dance to.......2004-05-03
ladytron provokes disinterested dancing: you know, the kind where you stand in the darker corner of the club, against the wall, and slightly move your upper body back and forth while sneering at everyone else because you're so high on coke.
2 Problems with 604.......2004-05-01
1) You have to buy the CD to really understand what they do (so nix that download idea unless u pull the full album).
2)Even after you buy the CD you still might hate it (ok, you'll probably dig it if amazon pushed you into this section anyway)
Unless you're a fan of 80's synth pop/rock/electronica, don't even bother... This took me a good 5 listens until i started to jive with their whole deal- Funky electronica (though nothing new to you hard-core heads) combined with the monotone voices reminiscent of those good ol' electronica days. It's got a few spats of songs that'll knock your socks off, but nothing spectacular. Once you get around that "what am i listening to?" phase, 604 will suck you into the wonderful world of Ladytron.
fun.......2004-02-29
Ladytron achieved something which I beleive is rare in dance/electronica, that is; they are bold and inventive yet still very accessible. Its hard for me to explain what it is exactly that I love so much about this record but you really should give it a listen.

Great music and an astonishing amount of it!.......2006-02-28
The business folks at DG must have a soft spot for Christmas music, probably leftover goodwill from growing up with caroling in the snow. Certainly the German language nations seem to have excelled in producing a wealth of Christmas tunes, jingles, chorales, hymns, and rounds. This compliation is a two CD set of very good to great singers and performers who are quite to the manor born, or maybe I should say manger.
The easy way to decide if two hours of German Xmas gemutlichkeit is for you is simply to listen to the enormous selections on Amazon's sound sampler.

Really superb in every way.............2007-05-04
I first heard of Marianas Trench via Much Music with their song "Decided to Break It", and I was extremely impressed by the vocal flare the band exhibited(the video is also hilarious), and I figured I'd better investigate further. That took me to their video for "Say Anything", the first single off their debut album, "Fix Me"(604 records). Being fairly impressed by the material I'd heard, I decided to go out and buy the album. Immediately I felt the connection(which is somewhat rare for me, it usually takes a few listens). And though admittedly this music has strong casual appeal and that simple fact may scare some off(I don't know why), I find it impressive how it stands out among the current pop/punk/rock/emo scene.
Firstly, the production is top notch, super high quality in every way. But not fake, these guys are known for their tight live act. This band wasn't glued together by a bunch of record execs, it was relentlessness. There are some entertainers who make music to expand their "brand", and while Marianas Trench intentionally makes music that will appeal to a wide audience, it's all work they believe in. There is such a thing as sticking to your creative ambition while at the same time, allowing for flexibility; Fix Me proves it. And the music was recorded purely based off of the talent of the band, not software tools. Says Josh Ramsay: ""We didn't do an ounce of that on the record." It's all actual performances; it hasn't been doctored whatsoever. I think that's a big truth about us that not a lot of other bands can say these days." And it's the truth, it's hard to be enthusiastic about a band that you know you just couldn't enjoy live, because they suck without software manipulation.
The entire band is comprised of professional vocalists, as shown in their wicked harmonies. Lead vox' Josh Ramsay pours heartfelt, tortured passion into every lyric in songs like "Alibis" and "Skin & Bones", while Matt Webb joins in for a little fancy vocal matching in "Decided to Break It." There are layers and layers in the production of this record, it isn't sparse or stale like so many other records. But perhaps the greatest thing about Fix Me is that it so successfully combines all the flare of pop and hard rock. Hooks all over the place, almost every song could be a radio success. Not one track here is lacking, it's pure quality musicianship.
Whether you're into "emo", or any pop punk bands in general, you should dig Marianas Trench. If you like rock, I think you'll enjoy this quite a bit. And yeah, the import price is high, but it's worth it if you are really itching to adopt a new band into your catalogue.
Really impressed, better than I could have expected, even after a couple months of listening(I play it almost every day and I'm not tired of it).
Marianas Trench will take over the WORLD!

Marie-Claire Alain is not only one of the greatest organists alive today, but she stands directly in a what is undoubtedly the world's greatest tradition of organ playing. It was France that first rediscovered and cultivated Bach's organ music, and which in turn stimulated the great works of Franck, Widor, Vierne, and their school. Alain has recorded Bach's complete organ music no less than three times, here on historical organs of Bach's own time. Each disc is planned as a recital that showcases both the music and the instrument. Her performances are simply the last word in style, musicianship, and virtuosity. Magnificent. --David Hurwitz

Complete set CD review of Bach.......2007-05-12
I discovered Bach organ music 40 years ago. I love Bach, everything he wrote. I have 4 complete sets of Bach organ recordings. Marie Claire-Alan is my favorite organist of everyone I have heard. I met Marie and her husband in person after a performance she gave in Chicago. I have 2 complete sets of Bach organ played by Marie. One is on records and the other the new CD set. She is a little older now when she recorded the CD's. The albums have a more youthful sound to them, a little more energy and different registration selection on the organs. I love Marie in her youthful recordings more than these. I love the albums so much I will digitize them and listen to them over the new CD collection. I play the albums on my Linn turntable through McIntosh equipment.
The Definitive Collection of Bach .......2005-09-25
Marie-Claire Alain has recorded Bach's complete organ music 3 times, this set being the second time. She plays quite differently now, but these are some of the best interpretations. Each cd fearures a different organ dating from Bach's time, and all of the booklets are filled with pictures, history, and even the stop registrations for each of the pieces are given. Quite alot of research! If those of you who are new to Bach's organ works, I would recommend starting on a smaller scale, as some of these works can be quite intense to listen to. At any rate, this possibly may go down as one of the famous recordings of the century.
Absolutely wonderful!.......2004-07-27
From this huge box set, it is quite obvious that Bach was a dedicated composer for the organ (and obviously a virtuoso organist for that matter). Bach was a very prominent composer who lived in the Baroque era, and to truely understand his works and their style you must have a general outline of knowledge of the timeframe in which he lived. And so the Baroque era, (1600-1750) was characterized by vastness of proportion, rich counterpoint, great splendor and a highly ornamented melodic line. (One should note that the era abruptly ended after Bach's death which actually shows his importance in it) Some of these pieces are examples of works that require performers at the very highest degree to play them. His works go way beyond the famous Toccata and Fuge in D Minor, and with a "Complete" edition you can listen and hear them all for yourself, hence grasping the full view of his genious. This set is of wonderful value and worth every penny. Unfortunately, the Master's version is not available in a CD store, and so we must indulge upon other's interpretations. This out of the others stands as one of the very best. It is also complementing to the experience to have an instrument of the period (which is so in this set). Bach devoted his entire frame of mind towards the spreading of God's kingdom, therefore one could derive that he felt that by creating enlightening and insightful music, he was doing a lowly service to his God. Overall--this is a fabulous interpretation, and it will deepen one's respect and awe for Johann Sebastian Bach, the greatest organist who ever lived.
Monumental Artistry.......2003-03-08
Although I am partial to the Romantic Organ, particularly in the vein of Widor, Vierne and Rheinberger, it all begins with Bach. And in this case, one could say that it all begins with Marie-Claire Alain and her wonderful interpretations. Alain seems to understand that Bach was above all else a religious composer. Many "complete" works of Bach play short shrift with the liturgical works whereas these are some of the most satisfying of the group.
The sound is pure sonority, almost perfect, and the technical prowess is just awesome. Out of the millions of notes played, I never heard a miscue or slight jiggle. Still, keyboard wizardry is only part of the story. The registration is a work of art in itself. Alain understand the difference between the Baroque and the Modern, the French and the German and the old and the new. Just as she is a "natural" for Widor or Vierne, she also seems to have entered the Bach mind on some of these.
This is a fabulous collection worthy of any serious student of classical music. Nowhere can one derive such satisfaction that listenting to Bach played by Ms. Alain.
A Happy Sacrifice.......2001-06-30
I gladly sacrificed two of the four speakers in my car to this wonderful, wonderful treasure. What more can I say?

Some of Bach's Best.......2004-11-06
This is Volume Seven in Kevin Bowyers Bach Organ Works series of
recordings for Nimbus Records. It is a complete performance of
Bach's "Orgelbuchlein" or Little Organ Book. This recording
features not only Bowyers excellent performances of the chorale
preludes , but the Det Fynske Kammerkor under Alice Joensen sing
the chorales brilliantly too. The Orgelbuchlein was an unfinished
project of Bachs he was going to compose chorale preludes for the
entire liturgical church year. Unfortunatly he only made it from
Advent to Easter. At Fourty-Five chorale preludes it is still
quite an accomplishment. Mr Bowyer always uses good taste in his
choices for organ registers and the programs of his Bach
recordings are always well thought out. As I said this is Volume
Seven of the series I think there will be total of Seventeen
Volumes with a total of 29 CDs which looks to be one of the most
complete sets of Bach organ works on the market. Each one of the
volumes in the set can easily be recommended. The Nimbus sound is
up to their usual standards, always very good. One of the best
parts of The Orgelbuchlein is that you can a lot of good Bach in
a little package.
