Not the perfect choice of music.......2007-03-26

Cd 1 is the best of 1990-2000, well I dissagree. "All that you can't leave behind" is under representated, it is one of the best of the band and had many hits but this compilation has only two tracks ?
What about "Elevation", "Kite" or "Walk on" ?
As I said for the other double cd "best of 1980-1990", you have most of the hits but you do not have the best songs. Some great songs are missing simply because they didn't have been played on radio, so don't try to find them on this double cd. The title "greatest hits" would be closer to reality than "The best of"

The bonus cd will me you feel in a discotheque ! Some interesting remixed version like "Mysterious Ways", "If God will send his angels" or "Even better than the real thing". The bonus cd is for die hard fans !

Unlistenable.......2007-02-21

The worst music I think I've ever heard. It's like having your fingernails pulled off and squeezing lemon juice on it. I'd rather be shot in the groin by Dick Cheney than have to ever listen to this again. People that like this must have rode the short-bus when they were young. There's a reason the song says "I still haven't found what I'm looking for", it's because the music sucks.. bad.

U bet..........2007-02-13

THE BEST!!!! My husband & I are so fanatic of this multi-awarded band. Way back when we were still dating, their songs hold a special place in our hearts. Gosh, all their songs are pure & natural. Buying the best of 1990-2000 was the best thing we did that day. We popped it in the CD of our car & we just loved listening to their songs while on the road. I think our 18 month old son will like them too....

the most beautiful voice on earth.......2007-06-28

Like all music of Sara Brightman. it's absolute quality. She has a voice that is so flexible, that she can sing nearly al kind of music from Clasical up to hard rock. Besides this she is also a first class performer.

Very Best Of Sarah Brightman: 1990-2000.......2007-05-13

One of the best Albums I've ever Bought at Age 59 and I'm a Led zeppellin fan and a pink floyd fan too!!

Best of..........2004-09-26

Sarah Brightman crossed over from showtunes to ethereal pop over the years, changing her image with nearly every album. From the velvety grandeur of "Eden" to the sparkling "La Luna" to the surreal "Fly." Several of the best songs from the 1990-2000 period are included here, and except for a few omissions, it's a top-rate collection of singles.

It kicks off with two songs from her early pop period, the epic "Question of Honour" and organ-dominated "Heaven is Here." There's also a cover of the Bee Gees' "First of May." Then she dips into the melancholy "Who Wants to Live Forever," the rich "Tu Quiere Volver," the rich "Just Show Me How to Love You" and the pretty duet with Andrea Bocelli, "Time to Say Goodbye."

Then it's time for a look at Brightman's more recent creations. These songs tend to be more textured and symphonic, and less spacey. There's the hymnlike, vaguely sexy "Eden," ethereal "Nella Fantasia," the soaringly earthy "Deliver Me," and the aching "Only an Ocean Away." Taking on a more ethereal sound is the soft "Scarborough Fair," and richly psychedelic "Whiter Shade of Pale," followed by live versions of of "Captain Nemo" and "Mer." It wraps up on a sweet note with the silky, murmuring "The Last Words You Said."

Brightman has a good enough track record -- and a long enough career -- that it's hard not to wish for a two-disc set of her best songs from that era. With this release, Brightman has a chance to smooth over some of her odder past songs (like that Tom Jones duet) and focus just on the best she did in every album during that ten-year period. Some of her songs seem to have gotten lost in the shuffle. For example, where is the beautiful "Desert Rose"?

However, the musical arrangements are impeccable -- there's some electronica, orchestral pieces, and "Tu Quiere Volver" is lorded over by an acoustic guitar. Brightman also gets to show the full range of her vocals -- she sings sweetly or richly, and launches into operatic solos in songs like "Question of Honour."

And unlike a lot of "best of" albums, this is also a good place for newbies to start checking out Brightman's work. Die-hard Brightman fans will have everything but the live tracks, yet this is still a good collection.

Good For A Start, But Loyal Fans, Don't Buy This.......2003-12-05

Before i start with anything, I don't have this album, but not in this form. I have almost the whole albums of this great soprano, and that means that I already have this album.

Songs selected here are quite good, but they are, like what I've mentioned, are not for fans like me. The songs are quite catchy to catch someone by ear, but not me. There are more Sarah's albums to try (Harem, Classics, or La Luna) which contains good songs that are not listed here, like the terrific and rare "Once In A Lifetime" (DIVE), or "Tu Quieres Volver" (Timeless/Time To Say Goodbye). And several songs, for me, are not necessary, like "La Mer" (Not "Mer" like Amazon wrote), or "Question of Honour Pt 2" ( the "Pt 1" remains the best).

But if you are new to Sarah Brightman, a die-hard fan, or a money-spender fan, buy this, but if you're a loyal fan who has gotten Sarah's more recent album, don't buy this. I'm agree with MOONGODDESS, burn this CD, pretend you've bought it.

One of the best Sarah Brightman collections.......2003-08-22

This is the perfect album for the new fan of Sarah Brightman. It is compiled of some of her best songs including Time to Say Goodbye with Andrea Bocelli, Eden, the haunting A Question of Honour, and live versions of Captian Nemo and La Mer. This album also includes beautifully recorded covers of Scarborough Fair and Whiter Shade of Pale. It is the essential "pop" recordings of Ms. Brightman.

U2's second decade often seemed as preoccupied with the band's burgeoning superstardom--and how to confront/confound it--as it did with creating music. The band managed only four albums during the era (only of half its '80s output), projects whose gestations seemed perennially plagued by turmoil as much as mercurial creative instincts. But as this rewarding, 30-track double-disc anthology (and bonus DVD) chronicles, U2 ultimately managed a considerable feat: producing a memorable, lasting body of work in a decade when one of pop music's chief attributes was its disposability. Disc one mixes hits like "Mysterious Ways" and "One" with seductive soundtrack cuts (the title track to Wim Wenders's Until the End of the World, Batman Forever's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me"), new mixes of "Discotheque," "Staring at the Sun," and "Numb," and a pair of strong new tracks, the Orbit mix of "Electrical Storm" and "The Hands that Built America," the title track from Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York. The second disc compiles the band's more experimental B-sides from the epoch (many of them remixes), and offers up a concise encapsulation of the band's fascination with--and shrewd incorporation of--electronica and club music. The bonus DVD contains a generous collection of videos of songs from disc one, along with alternate versions, director commentaries, additional bonus tracks such as "If God Will Send His Angels" and "Lemon," as well as a mini-documentary of the band's historic 1997 Bosnian concert, The Road to Sarajevo. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Includes a bonus dvd which features a collection of live and video performances from 1990-2000.

The Best of 1990-2002?.......2005-11-21

In 1991, U2 returned to the music industry with the phenomenal album Achtung Baby. While this release brought them back to their original status as amazing musicians, U2 would soon enter its low point with the releases of their hugely disappointing albums Zooropa and Pop. Fortunately, after the failure of these two strange albums they came back to their senses and recorded the more "normal" album, All That You Can't Leave Behind. Before I criticize them, I would first like to say that I am very proud of U2 for still managing to create a memorable cd with only four albums, only half of which were successful.

Now on to the criticism. First, the thing that angers me most about this cd is, like with The Best of 1980-1990's release of "The Sweetest Thing," they cheated with the songs. "Electrical Storm" and "The Hands That Built America" were both released in 2002, which means that they shouldn't be here. It's not that the songs are bad it's just that I wish they had saved them for a possible Best of 2000-2010. Next, while the song selection here is far superior to the Best of 1980-1990, there are still several flaws, which I will address later. Also, many of the remixed songs on the A-side should have appeared in their original versions. Last, to put it lightly, the B-sides SUCK!!!!!! Here's what they should have done to make this "deluxe edition" a little more desirable. For the singles, they should have made more room by transferring "Electrical Storm," "Miss Sarajevo," "The Hands That Built America," and "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" to the B-sides. Since all of these songs were released on either movie soundtracks or their own singles and not one of the four albums, I don't believe they should belong on the A-side. This not only would massively improve the B-sides, but also allow them to put in four missing songs. The songs I would insert would be "Walk On," "Please," "If God Will Send His Angels," and "Lemon," since many U2 fans unfortunately like this song. Also, the A-side lasts for about 72 minutes, so they could have added one more, which I would have choosen to be "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses." Next, "Gone," "Discotheque," and "Staring at the Sun" should have appeared in their original versions; however, the remix of "Numb" is more than welcomed here. That takes care of the A-side and now for the B-side. As I mentioned above, move the four "non-album" songs over here and add the songs "Always," "The Ground Beneath Her Feet," "Paint it Black," "Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad," one of the remixes of "The Fly," and "Where Did it All Go Wrong" to the cd. Next, in order to fit all these on here some of the remixes need to go. I would suggest removing the remixes of "Dirty Day," "Numb," "If God Will Send His Angels," "Lemon," and "Discotheque." It also wouldn't kill them to remove the studio version of "Electrical Storm" since the William Orbit Mix is much better and still captures the essence of the song. The remixes of "Even Better Than the Real Thing" and "Mysterious Ways" are actually quite good and deserve to stay on here along with "Happiness is a Warm Gun," "Salome," and "Lady With the Spinning Head."

Like with their previous Best of cd, U2 created an album for "unexperienced" fans only. The big differences between the two Best of cds are the first decade had much better music and the B-sides from the first decade are actually worth the extra mula. I would recommend this cd only to people who just want the basic essientials of U2's later years. However, if anyone wants to truly experience The Best of 1990-2000, I recommend just buying the four albums, or at least Achtung Baby.

Here's how I'd list the tracks.

Did you come here to play Jesus with the voices in your head?.......2005-10-13

What a mixed bag this is! U2's journey through the 90's was a twisting, turning ride that saw the band careening from one style to the next, trying to force themselves away from inertia and only being intermittently successful. While "Achtung Baby" is widely heralded as a masterpiece and "All That You Can't Leave Behind" was universally acclaimed for the band reclaiming their strongest attributes, I doubt many regard either "Zooropa" or "Pop" as monuments to the band's greatness.

Which makes this best of set a true case for song. Fortunately for us, U2's songwriting was very rarely anything less than great, even if the costuming was oddball. So while the band was off exploring their musical wild hairs, they were still writing incredible material like "If God Will Send His Angels" or one-off knock-out's like "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" from "Batman Returns." The wild hairs aren't completely gone, though. It means they had to tweak "Numb" and "Discotheque" unnecessarily.

And it also means omissions abound. Conspicuous in their absence are "The Fly," "Elevation," "Walk On," and "Lemon." You do get a couple of bonuses, in particular the contribution to Martin Scorcese's "Gangs Of New York" Oscar nominated "The Hands That Built America." This collection is also worth having for what could possibly be one of the greatest songs of the 20'th Century, "One." That song alone makes this a four star rating and saves the set from dropping to a three via all the missing material.

As for the bonus "B-Sides" disc: frankly, not much here is really "bonus." "Lemon" and "If God Will Send His Angels" make their appearance here, but remixed (ugh). "Electrical Storm," one of the new songs, shows up again in a different version. And the free DVD is a waste; essentially a commercial for an upcoming DVD release. You're likely just as well served by the single disc version.

Pretty good, the remixes hurt and the 1st could be enough.......2005-08-07

the album is pretty good, even though the remixing of some well known songs in my opinion doesn't improve anything unless you ar a dj or want to play the music in a club. Also, the first cd is good though the second is more like remixes and soundtrack material and is weaker than the firs cd. Unless you are a deep U2 fan and are willing to get some ok(not the best) content, I would rather go for the 1CD version of the album, but don't get me wrong, there are good songs in the album. Good buys!

One of "U2's" best albums !!!!.......2005-01-16

U2 BABY!!! VERTIGO ROCKS, READY FOR MORE!! Drop the 'BOMB'.......2004-09-28

Hey everyone...bought this the day it came out, but after FINALLY being able to listen to 'Vertigo' I had to write something up! VERTIGO ROCKS!!! Anyone else agree? Is there ANY band out there even remotely close to these guys? KEEP IT UP!!

Also, while I'm here...SORELY missing is: Elevation, Ground Beneath Her Feet, Walk On, plus a few others. But then, one would assume that the diehard U2 fan already has these from other sources. GREAT album, and thanks once again U2 (the band) for making so many great memories...can't wait for the 'Bomb' to drop in November!!

It is thus far well established that Chris Spheeris, well-traveled Sedona resident and New Age heartthrob, creates his signature sound from the textures of romance, global exoticism, and heavy layers. More is nearly always more. More keyboards, more fancy guitar fretwork, more variance in tempo, rhythm, and emotional tenor. This is further evidenced by The Best of Chris Spheeris 1990-2000, which draws from the multi-instrumentalist's Higher Octave debut, Dancing with the Muse (reissued in 2000), and moves forward. Spheeris himself chose the pieces for this retrospective and sandwiched them between two new compositions, a fanciful Celtic-inspired number called "Looking Back" and the surprisingly understated solo-piano composition "Rendezvous." Standouts are the Middle-Eastern flavored "Magaya" from Dancing with the Muse, the horn-accented "Field of Tears" from Desires of the Heart, and, most especially, the aforementioned "Rendezvous," which seems to take inspiration from "My Funny Valentine." Neither for purists nor lovers of subtlety, 1990-2000 is a good starting place for new Spheeris fans. --Paige La Grone

dancing with the muse, culture & enchantment...intoxicating.......2001-10-31

Before I enter the world of reviews, let me make one thing very clear...I'm a big fan of this multi-instrumentalist composer...every track on this album is pure "ENCHANTMENT", this his second release from Higher Octave ~ "The Best of Chris Spheeris 1990-2000", is the "Ultimate" from this young Greek.

Also being of Greek heritage, my mother Maria Patestas, I'm very partial to this genre in music growing up and hearing songs that speak from the soul, inner feelings that are deep within...Spheeris compositions blend so many different passages of life, you feel you've heard them before, but never knowing where or when.

Following his career for more than a decade, remembering his past endeavors with "Enchantment"(1990)..."Desires of the Heart"(1990), one of my personal favorites..."Culture"(1993)..."Desires"(1994)..."Eros"(1997)..."Dancing With The Muse"(2000), the title song and "MAGAYA" from the same album are two of my all-time favorites on this latest release...but the highlight is "CULTURE", completely addictive theme, Spheeris arrangement blends old melodies within a new text, very intoxicating to say the least.

After listening to this CD, you feel tranquil, happy and at peace...Spheeris music is very therapeutic, if this is what you've been searching for...you have found it, thanks to CHRIS SPHEERIS!

Chris Spheeris, ... is a musical master. Even his worst songs are better than average. His best songs (and they are many) are brilliant. I have purchased every one of his albums (except the re-releases). If anyone deserves to be well-compensated for his artistic endeavors, it is Mr. Spheeris. If you don't yet own any music by Chris Spheeris I cannot recommend this album highly enough. Buy it! You won't regret it!

But if you already own many/most/all of Mr. Spheeris's previous releases, should you buy this album? What for? For the two new songs??

I already have every song on this album ... EXCEPT TWO ! What possessed Mr. Spheeris to put two new songs on this album? Is that how he rewards me for purchasing every one of his previous releases? Should I pay full album price for two songs???? Or should I simply forgo the two new songs? What kind of appreciation is that to show to your loyal admirers? What kind of gratitude is that? I am deeply disappointed in Mr. Spheeris for this tawdry marketing ploy.

Best of.......2005-09-22

I loved "Classics" but this is a better compilation.......2002-01-09

I really do adore "Classics", a compilation of new and old songs that was released late last year however almost half the tracks on that cd were new which made no sense to call an album when almost half the songs are new "Classics". Curiousity got the best of me and I had to hear the difference between "Classics" and "The Very Best of: 1990-2000". I hate to say this but "The Very Best of" cd blows "Classics" out of the water. I have never heard some of the songs on this cd which made listening to them all the more special. I particularly fell in love with the gorgeous pop melodies of "Heaven is Here", "Who Wants to Live Forever" and "A question of Honour part 2" (this version is new to me). Although hefty on the price for this import, the song selection here proved to me that it was well worth the money. On the "Classics" album, Sarah sings solo on "Time to Say Goodbye" while the version with Andrea Bocellio was used on this cd. Both versions are excellent. I can't pick which one I prefer. I was more than pleasd that two of my favorite songs off "Eden" were included on this cd, the title track and "Only an Ocean Away". I kinda wished that Sarah's version of Dido's "Here With Me" was tacked on but I'm not really at all disappointed with the numerous excellent tracks compiled for this import only compilation. I was more than happy that her versions of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "Scarborough Fair" were included. I loved the Richard Marx penned track "The Last Words You Said". Yeah, Richard writes some of the drippiest ballads there are ever are but the artists he choses to have them sing them is impeccable. I definitely recommend this cd to die-hard Sarah Brightman fans. I do love "Classics" but "The Very Best of:1990-2000" is vastly superior in my book.

Sarah Brightman's best works all on one CD!.......2001-10-24

Although a tad pricey, "Best of" features tracks from "Fly," "Eden," "Timeless," "Dive," and "La Luna," including a few remixes, radio edits and live versions that can't be found anywhere else. A good introduction to Sarah's works on the German EastWest label, including songs from "Fly" which was a Europe-only release and was one of Sarah's most interesting experimental albums.

Album Description

Double CD compilation featuring rare and previously unreleased material. CD1 is taken from The Fall's 1990's albums, Extricate ('90), Shiftwork ('91), Code: Selfish ('92), The Infotainment Scan ('93), Middle Class Revolt ('94), Cerebral Caustic ('95), The Light User Syndrome ('96), Levitate ('97), The Marshall Suite (`98) and the spoken word album, The Post-Nearly Man. CD2 consists of unreleased or impossible-to-find tracks from the same period, including collaborations with Elastica, The Clint Boon Experience, Badly Drawn Boy, Tackhead, The Inspiral Carpets and Edwyn Collins. Mark E Smith's dour lyrical surrealism and half-chewed delivery front The Fall's corrosive, acid-like take on techno, rockabilly, raggae, glam and punk. There are also some bizarre cover versions. It adds up to an album which is random but oddly consistent; chaotic and abstract, yet stitched into sense by the only man who can - Mark E Smith.

Album Details

Double Compilation with Tons of Rare and Previously Unreleased Material. Essential for Any Fall Fan.

Surprisingly worthwhile.......2003-04-25

With so many overlapping Fall compilations out there it's not surprising a lot of people missed this one, but it's actually pretty crucial for people who followed the Fall (or tried to) after the Beggars Banquet years. The first disc doesn't try to dress up the albums from the Fall's sketchy 90-00 period; it presents the highlights even from artistic dead-ends like the foot-dragging tempos of Shift-Work.

The second disc is the real prize, though. It fills in collectors' gaps that actually NEEDED TO BE FILLED, unlike the many depressing albums full of instrumentals and outtakes that came out in the late 90s... this has genuine released-but-rare tracks like the studio "Kimble", the vinyl-only "Real Life Of Crying Marshal" and a stack of 9 collaborations with other musicians.

This is not a good introduction to the Fall, and it's hard to imagine anyone bringing it to a desert island, but for the small group of people who would consider buying expensive Fall rarities in the first place, this is a treat.
