Absolutely Pure & Beautiful.......2005-10-31

If you buy no other classical music, buy this collection. CD 1 (Relax) is perfect for dinner, quiet entertaining or just soft music while you're working. From "Come Away With Me", to "Whiter Shade of Pale" to "Knights in White Satin"... each piece is it's own movement - and moved you will be... Perfect for a romantic evening. CD2 is more robust, but equally entertaining. "Layla", "Livin On A Prayer", Stairway to Heaven", "Run to You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" - you owe it to yourself to hear these licks performed by the RPO.

Symphonic Rock.......2005-07-25

It really isn't rock, but it is a very pleasant presentation of popular music, rendered in creative ways by a full symphony orchestra. It sounds like the orchestra had a great time making these CD's.

pleasant easy listening.......2005-07-19

It's not extremely interesting music, but nice background, relaxing and pleasant with full orchestra. Not a bad buy at all!

Excellent CD.......2005-03-20

I received this as a present and at first I wasn't sure if I would like it because I don't like some of the original songs, but there's something about hearing the orchestra play that makes me like all of them. Just try it out.

well, if you like elevator music then you should get this cd. if not then dont waste your time, its lame. big time lame. just listen to the audio samples im so glad i didn't waste my money on this piece of crap.

LOL.......2004-03-22

I bought this single firstly 'cos I'm a Travis fan, but also cos people said that the cover of Baby one more time was very funny. I heard the entire song, and at the end of it I was like 'OMG, what they've done to that horrible Britney song?. It's brilliant.' So, people, if you like Travis, why don't you buy this single? It's worth not only for the cover, but also for Turn (my 3rd favorite Travis song) and for the beautiful W.D.I.A.R.O.M.

So worth it.......2002-09-06

This CD single is worth buying just to hear what could have been done with "Baby One More Time." Yes, *The Man Who* is an excellent album but it doesn't have this fun cover. You will definitely get [dollar amount] worth of listening pleasure from this CD single. And go buy *The Invisible Band* while you're at it.

better to by The Man Who album.......2001-11-02

I LOVE the song "why does it always rain on me?" but I detest the drunken (literally) screaching that is "Baby One More Time" and so I would recommend buying the full Travis album The Man Who. The entire The Man Who album is quite good and worth the extra money, if only to avoid the other song on this single.

Travis.......2001-08-14

I don't actually have the single, but I did recently purchase "The Man Who" after hearing rave reviews and downloading "Baby One More Time" ... "Why Does it Always Rain on Me" is a great song, simple and pure, about a life gone sad, which could easily have been a pop hit here. "Turn" is a song that is almost as good as the classic Byrds hit "Turn!Turn!Turn" that invokes memories of the song by repeating the word "turn" and, well, by being really good, but definately not trying to impersonate the older song. And then we come to "Baby One More Time". All I can say is, I never knew a trashy Britney Spears song totally devoid of emotion could be transformed into such a beautiful piece of work. To quote the great philisope Calvin of "Calvin and Hobbes", There's treasure everywhere!

Hit Me, Baby.......2000-11-06

Oh, I must say I do like this single. How Travis makes "Baby One More Time" into an excellect song is beyond me, but he does; he makes it a gem. That was the only reason I bought this single, but I was instantly struck by the delightful "Why Does It Always Rain On Me?" and realized that Travis is not just a cover-up group. "Turn" is very good as well; each time I listen to it I like it better. This single has earned Travis another fan.

While traveling with my sister in Ireland we could not help but crank up the radio whenever this title song would play. Travis has the folk/accoustic touch that seems to have gotten lost in much of todays often irritating excuse for music. So if you like good music and singing, check him out. You just may find what you're looking for

A grate single for a grate song........2000-08-21

Travis, a grate band and now just getting air play in Canada and the US The First the single from the CD in Canada and the US was Why Does It Always Rain On Me?. Its one of my favourite songs off the album The Man Who, Travis second album. Travis was already big in the UK. But was bound to come over sea's to try to make it in America and Canada, but with are over "pop"ed radio it would be a hard task to do, but they do it well. The song was played on allot of collage radio stains and built up a good fan base. Soon after the video was released on Canada's Much Music and got allot of air play, and then a moth or so later MTV followed and gave the video airplay. and the made a good fan base here and in the US and is only growing.

The Single includes two of the best songs off the album, Why Dose It Always Rain On Me? and Driftwood live (there are a grate! band live) and an unreleased song Village Man witch is also a good song. To go along with the over "pop"ed music, Travis dose a cover of Brittey Spears "Baby One More Time" totally funny, but surprisingly when they sing it its a really good song. The last on the Single is the wonderful video for Why Dose It Always Rain On Me? So If you like The Man Who our have heard the song and like it then I recommend you pick this up.

Enjoy!
