Crush

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Astrobrite started in 1994 as a noise pop excursion and solo effort for Scott Cortez. Over the years with the trusty Tascam Portastudio, drum machine, Fender Jaguar & some basic effects, he churned out ep after ep: candy swirl ep (1994), cherryflavor ep (1995), futuramic ep (1996), mile ep (1997).

In 1995 he formed a proper band to play the material out live and went through line up after line up until 1997 when Astrobrite played their last show. That is until now. Astrobrite as well as various other projects were merely in hiatus. Scott along with Adam and Kat Cooper of Alison's Halo, maestros of blisspop, have joined forces to bring Astrobrite back to life. Think superhero teams like the Avengers or new X-men.

Astrobrite has included the brightest from the beautiful noise bliss scene: Rob Smith and Doug Walker of Xebec, Andrew Prinz of Mahogany, Odell Nails of Majesty Crush, and Lynn Anderson of 6SM and Alison's Halo.

Formed in Arizona where the Beautiful Noisescene was officially begun at the behest of Brandon Capps, Astrobrite debuted at the second Beautiful Noise festival. In the summer of 1995 Scott moved back to his home state of Michigan to become a part of the space rock scene he had once been a part of and left behind in it's infancy.

Now the 4 track demos that many of his friends have grown to love will soon be available on CD via Clairecords. After 5 years only the hits remained and are featured on the debut cd Crush.

Album Description
Clairecords is extremely proud to present one of the most highly anticipated debut albums in noisepop history - Astrobrite's "Crush" CD. After 6 grueling years of laboring over home recordings and refining them with many fine-toothed combs, Astrobrite has culled the best tracks from over the years and polished, re-recorded, added and subtracted, resulting in an end product of refined gorgeous noisepop sheen. With tape-to-digital production/mixing assistance by Adam Cooper (Alison's Halo / Pastry Heroes / Kitten Factor) and Peter Markovich, the recipe is perfected. 12 tracks of 4-track sonic bliss that hearken back to the heyday of the early 90's dreampop scene and retaining all the beauty and charm after all these years.

Astrobrite has been dropping jaws since 1994. Since then, scads of homemade cassette tapes have been sent out to friends, zines, labels, etc. These tapes were filled with the most blistering candy-coated noisepop songs ever made. Extreme, brutal, gorgeous and amazing can all describe the songs on those cassettes. Taking "shoegazing" to the absolute next level, Astrobrite created more sonic noise blast extremes than MBV's 'Loveless' and the Lilys' 'In the Presence of Nothing' combined, while retaining as much, if not more, pop melody than both of those landmark albums in the genre.

Astrobrite is one Scott Cortez. The name should be recognizable from his established work under the guise Lovesliescrushing - resulting in several successful recordings on the Projekt Records label. Astrobrite takes the same sonic-extreme ideas of Lovesliescrushing and applies them to more reverbed and distorted guitars performing genius pop songs. Over the years, Scott took on a few extra band members on brief occasions, but it never worked out properly, so he decided it best to stick with himself. Astrobrite enjoyed a very brief 15 minutes of fame back in 1995 when they were featured in Alternative Press. Then a 3 piece band, they had been courted by various labels, all of which sadly resulted in nothing but a nice shiny picture in a nice shiny magazine.

Future plans for Astrobrite include, of course, more recordings including the sophomore album planned for release later in 2001, as well as an EP on Sonic Syrup Records later this month. Also, rehearsals are underway for a live Astrobrite tour. Adam and Cat of legendary dreampop band Alison's Halo have been drafted to fill out the guitar wall-of-sound live requirements. Today Clairecords is filled with joy and excitement as we finally bring you these amazing recordings.

The growling, choppy guitar sample that opens the first track here, "It's My Life," is a virtual declaration of intent for the first Bon Jovi album in five years, a statement that they're updating the sound without abandoning the traditional virtues that made them one of the biggest bands on the planet. So make way for a hi-tech parade of smooth-but-gutsy rock anthems, almost any one of which will gladden the heart of every AOR radio programmer in the land. Unless the world has changed irredeemably, cuts like the midpaced heartbreak chugger "Say It Isn't So" are destined to become Bon Jovi standards, while an outbreak of scarf-waving and lighter-flicking is certain to accompany any live performance of the big weepie, "Thank You For Loving Me." Arguably, everything on Crush is done by the numbers, but with consummate pros like Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora at the helm, these are the kind of numbers you have to take seriously, because by the second time they kick into the chorus of any song it's damn near impossible not to sing along. --Johnny Black

Slow Start on Early Tracks becomes a Winner on the Latter Tracks.......2007-02-26

Bon Jovi's first greatest hits album is entitled "Cross Road". The title is appropriate because by the time of its release in 1994, the group had really reached a true crossroads in their career. Bon Jovi had rode the wave of the hard rock/metal-like influence on the pop music scene in the late 1980s. By the time of 1992's "Keep the Faith", they still were doing what they do best - but now Alternative Music was beginning to dominate the pop scene. Therefore, I think its very appropriate that the group put out "Cross Road" and look back to determine what the next steps should be in their career. Following "Cross Road", Bon Jovi did move into another direction with the release of 1995's "These Days". While not as big a commercial success as what they had gotten used to, Bon Jovi did go into a different direction - delivering a "darker" album as opposed to the uplifting rock and power ballads that had become a trademark of the band. Following "These Days", the new "path" Bon Jovi took would be put on hold. It would be five years before they would release 2000's "Crush". When I first started listening to "Crush", I got very frustrated because I felt the album was weak, however this would be an album that deserved a full listen - because after getting past the first four tracks, I would discover that "Crush" would truly show that Bon Jovi had progressed along the path they took at the "Cross Road". It would show that Bon Jovi had matured and expanded their horizons.

The best way to understand how this album "turns the corner" is to review each track in order:

"It's My Life": This was the album's big hit single. For the most part, it had the traditional Bon Jovi feel. Anthem-like vocals by Jon Bon Jovi combined with heavy guitars by Richie Sambora penetrating keyboards by David Bryan. The song could be considered a loose sequel to "Livin on a Prayer" with the references to Tommy and Gina. This song's ok, but it wasn't a song that captured my imagination.

"Say It Isn't So": This song didn't have the Arena Rock quality that made Bon Jovi famous. This song had way too much of a pop feel to it. I quickly grew disinterested in this song as it also did little to excite me.

"Thank You For Loving Me": This ballad just wasn't the power-ballad that I had heard Bon Jovi do in the past - namely it lacked the passion. Again, I was disinterested. Slowly this album was losing me.

"Two Story Town": While musically this song didn't have me doing handstands, I did like the lyrics on this song. It deals with living in a town with the "same old sights" and "same old sounds".

It is on track 5 that the album really turns the corner....

"Next 100 Years": This is the best song on the album. Everyone shines on this album. While Tico Torres is going to have his moments on drums and Sambora is unbelievable on guitar, there is so much more. Mid-way through the song, it takes on an orchestral quality to it. Also listen for the incredible guitar work toward the end of the song. The song even has that "Arena Rock" anthem-like quality toward the end. I love the way this track switches gears.

"Just Older": Although this song may be slightly "toned down" musically from their earlier stuff, this song demonstrates the true passion that became a trademark. Torres shines on the drums on this one.

"Mystery Train": This song also has a softer feel that Bon Jovi fans are used to, but once again the passion is back. The boys really got the rhythm right on this song. In the "Mystery Train" is actually referring to a woman who is a "ride on a Mystery Train...to a place you've never been before." This is definitely one of the strongest songs on the collection.

"Save the World": This song has a lot of the classic Bon Jovi elements of a power ballad - uplifting lyrics and passionate vocals. The song deals with someone who isn't smart or distinguished, yet is someone who can offer a lot to the world.

"Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars": This song seemed to combine a retro sounding 1950s/1960s sound with some good modern electric guitars. This song has a very different feel from the classic Bon Jovi sound, but I give the boys credit for being able to expand their horizons.

"She's a Mystery": Another song that follows the classic Bon Jovi formula for power ballad. Once again the band compares a woman to a mystery, but instead of comparing the woman to a mysterious train ride, the woman in this case is a mystery herself.

"I Got the Girl": This song follows the classic Bon Jovi hard-rocking formula. The soft start segues into heavy guitars perfectly. It might not have the deepest lyrics, but it fits the classic mold of a true "Arena Rock" sound.

"One Wild Night": While this song also had a hard-rocking sound, I didn't quite like this one as much as "I Got the Girl". The opening sounds music sets the stage to contrast a "wild night" with spending an evening in front of some classic-styled television. While I didn't like this song, I still think this may appeal to the deep Bon Jovi fans. I personally didn't get the "James Brown" references at the end.

I was disappointed that the liner notes did not contain any of the lyrics. Overall, despite the weak start to this album, I was satisfied with the five year wait for "Crush". If songs 5-12 were the songs that would comprise this collection, I would still be happy. The combination of the classic elements with some newer sounds made for this a very good album. I would definitely recommend this collection.

IT'S MY LIFE AND I LOVE BON JOVI!!!.......2007-02-17

Mediocre Record, But It DOES Have Its Moments .......2006-07-10

With 'Bon Jovi,' '7800,' 'Slippery When Wet,' 'New Jersey, 'Blaze of Glory,' 'Keep the Faith,' and even 'These Days,' I can say that for the most part, I find the entire record listenable. Sadly, all good things come to an end, or at least a pause. 'Destination Anywhere' is what I consider Bon Jovi's low point, but it does have a few outstanding moments. And that's pretty much how I feel about 'Crush.' 'Crush' is not up there with '7800,' 'Slippery When Wet,' 'New Jersey,' or even 'Keep the Faith.' That said, 'Crush' DOES have its moments. 'It's My Life' is a moderately intense song that seems more powerful than it really is. (But that's alright!) I couldn't get into 'Say It Isn't So.' 'Thank You For Loving Me' is a memorable slower song. And even at this point in his career Bon Jovi has a way of rescuing his songs that may sound clicheish. 'Two Story Town' is not the greatest song, but it is respectable. I could not get into 'Next 100 Years.' 'Just Older' may or may not hold your attention. But I still consider it one of the better moments. 'Mystery Train' is what I consider another low point. 'Save the World' is another high point of the record. It's a slower song, but it does have its beauty. I could not get into 'Captain Crash...,' 'She's a Mystery,' or 'I Got the Girl.' But on this 9th record, Bon Jovi saved the best for last. 'One Wild Night' gives a crowning 'Slippery When Wet' tone to this record. I'm even tempted to say that 'One Wild Night' is worth the price of admission. In this so so record of Bon Jovi's, it is easy to see why he maintains his popularity over time. (1) Even though he changes his direction, he still remembers his original fans and gives them at least something on his newer records. ('One Wild Night.') (2) Like 'Destination Anywhere,' I consider this a mediocre record. But, even his mediocre records have their moments. And in all honesty, if we like a group, we should be willing to admit that they are human and not every record they make can be a masterpiece.

Crush.......2006-06-09

I've never been much of a hair-metal fan, and, except for "Livin' On a Prayer", much of a Bon Jovi fan either. That being said, this is one of the best albums that I've ever bought. As a mainstream rock/pop fa, the songs on "Crush" are instantly appealing for their hooks, catchy choruses, and tap-your-foot feeling. "It's My Life" has one of the most memorable refrains around; "Say It Isn't So" has a great, catchy guitar intro; "Two Story Town", "Next 100 Years", and "Captain Crash..." are all great songs in their own right. In "Crush", Bon Jovi has made an album that you have to sing along with, an album that is th eperfect mainstream rocker, and, most importantly, an album that is instantly likeable. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy.

The Complete Piano Music of Scott Joplin.......2007-06-08

John Arpin does a great job with these pieces. The songs carry a consistent sound and are played very close to as-written, which comes and goes with old ragtime pieces. The stamping on Stop-Time Rag doesn't have a consistent sound to it, can be a little distracting. Everything else is great, overall I think that it's a great buy, I'm very happy with it.

Another Performer Rewrites Joplin's Masterpieces.......2007-05-31

Once again, another performer feels the need to rewrite the music of the King of Ragtime. Scott Joplin spins in his grave each and every time this recording is played.

Again, to those who believe that concert music is meant to be rewritten by each and every performer I ask, is the same treatment also acceptable for Chopin's and Rachmaninoff's music? Would "Moonlight Sonata" sound better if played at twice the tempo and with a reprise of the first Adagio movement thrown in at the end? Obviously, the answer to these questions is a resounding NO!, so why does one of America's greatest composers get such disrespect?

Interpretation is an integral part of every performance. Adding one's own notes, phrases and chords where none should be is not. Randomly changing the structure of the piece is not. Playing a piece at twice the indicated tempo is not.

One the plus side, the depth of this collection is outstanding. Joplin's lesser known pieces like "Harmony Club Waltz" really shine. The recording is decent in quality, although a bit bassy in places.

While its been stated before, I feel its worth repeating: Buy Joshua Rifkin's performances of Joplin in order to hear how the Master intended his pieces to sound.

complete piano music of Scott Joplin on 4 CD's.......2007-02-14

Although all of the music is terrific it is rather a lot of a similar sound. I think I would have preferred 2 CD's of selected piano works of Scott Joplin. But I did get the music at a good price.

Ragtime Marvel.......2005-10-09

This collection of Scott Joplin's piano music is outstanding. As a lover of ragtime which was a prelude to jazz, I am thoroughly enjoying this collection. If you are not a lover of jazz, you may be a lover of ragtime. Jazz can sometimes be grating on the nerves, whereas ragtime lifts the spirit.

Complete, but poor quality.......2005-09-25

I have been learning some ragtime and wanted to hear more to find other selections to learn. Listened to Maple Leaf Rag, my favorite, first and was disappointed. Listened to others and was more disappointed. Maple flies - much faster than anyone would play it, you can't make out some of the phrases. And talk about ad libs - Tempo, dynamics, embelishments, nuances - I really think he plays some wrong notes too because he's going so fast. It's really a poor recording - and that's just on Maple Leaf. Others with "intros" start quick and then there's a grand pause, not a rest, but nearly a five second break. It's hard to argue how Joplin would have played it, but this is hardly anything I want to try to imitate. The only qualitating factor is the number of songs for the price. A lot of variety of a poor interpretation is only worth 3 stars. if that. Look for Rifkin or a copy that is as written to listen to first, then go for the ad libs and "artistic interpretations"

More coffee, warden?.......2007-05-13

If you have time for only one Firesign album before you die, make sure it's this one. A prescient, strangely psychedelic (no drugs involved) dissection of America & life in general that will leave you awake all night wondering about who or what's really in charge of this whole peculiar shebang anyway? But of course all their albums are like that. Must be those Canadian writers. The Firesign Theater is the closest thing America ever had to Monty Python, and we owe them a LOT for holding up an unflinching mirror to our loony culture.

functiional brain required.......2007-03-31

this is possibly the best comedy cd of all time. if one wishes to experience a delightful active mental journey as opposed to a more passive "the guy tells a joke and i listen to it" comedy club performance, this is the correct choice.
if you don't have the adventure gene in your body, you might find the performance to be scattered, difficult to follow, and more weird than funny.
one more thing. don't try to listen to this while driving. you will either miss the good stuff on the cd, or miss something important on the road. it would be a waste either way.

Hubba hubba George, what a suit!.......2006-08-28

Firesign Theater has been dismissed as a 60s relic, but listening to DCTD,HMTP repeatedly made me realize it's about the members' nostalgia for the pop culture of their childhood (the Henry Aldrich radio series, Archie comics, Korean War B-movies, etc.)rather than drugs and hippies. Little wonder that at the end of the second side, George Tirebiter reverts to a child running after an ice cream truck. It's also incredibly funny and compulsively quotable, their best sustained effort.

On a Scale of 1 to 5, This is a 27!.......2006-08-14

Being their third release, and the first three albums being their tightest work, Dwarf is often misunderstood. Disjointed snippets? Not in the slightest! Dwarf is the story of an aging George Leroy Tirebiter sitting in front of the television, flipping through the channels only to find each station is showing a story about different phases of his life (complete with commercials). I'm uncertain if George was about to die and this is how his life flashed before his eyes. Regardless, this fine piece of work is often quoted, including an apartment complex near a freeway in Indianapolis posting a sign stating, "If you lived here, you'd be home now." Some material has dated better than other, but still an album that bears repeated listening in order to "catch" half of the jokes, puns, and one-liners that are woven into the text of the album. Buy this album, it is a requirement of the (aptly named) Department of Redundancy Department.

Everything You Know Is Wrong.......2006-07-15

OK. For the uninitiated, apologies for the arcane Firesign reference in the title. As for Dwarf, this is a fabulous CD. It is funny. It is smart. It is subtle. It is stupid. It is arcane. It is endlessly self-referential. It is nonsense.

Here's the problem with translating Dwarf to 21st century sensibilities: nobody has the time to figure out a 45-minute comedy routine that requires repeated listening. And yes, it requires figuring out.

I love this material, as obviously dated as it is. But if you don't have the patience to go with it, if you're looking for easy laughs, it's probably not for you. If you loved it once and aren't sure if you're going to love it again, you might find it ages as well for you as Pixie Stix. (Gak.) But if you got below the surface the first time, or you're willing to spend time with it now, go for it. Go back and don't crush that dwarf one more time.

And just for the record, it would've been five stars--if only this weren't a CD. Part of the original joke was the vinyl medium.

If contemporary Hollywood sometimes seems an industry bent on recycling itself into oblivion, it still manages the occasional welcome genre-tweaking. Writer-director John Stockwell takes one of the last bastions of salty machismo, the surf film, and gives it a distinct surfer grrrl slant. The resulting film's soundtrack eschews its own share of genre clichés--decades of fuzz guitar, OC ska/surf-punk bluster--for a club-savvy mix that veers from the lush, neo-psych edge of Lenny Kravitz's "If I Could Fall in Love" to Beenie Man's and Damian Marley's Jamaican dancehall grooves. But it's the wafting, electronica-infused flourishes of Beth Orton's gorgeous "Daybreaker," Zero 7's R&B-tinged "Destiny," and the moody atmospherics of Doves' "Firesuite" that best catch the intoxicating appeal of a cool, cresting wave. --Jerry McCulley

This CD has various artists, and the mix is just great. My exercise instructor uses it for an abs blast class. The CD is superb.

*****!BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER!*****.......2005-05-28

This has got to be the Best Soundtrack I've heard so far. Normally with some Soundtracks, you get the odd songs that aren't worth listening to. But with Blue Crush, EVERY SONG is WiCkEd!!
There's a variety of awesome mixes of Rock-fast beat, and chilled-relaxed tunes that make you crank up the stereo! This CD would be even better if it had included more songs (eg. Youth of the Nation, POD)
The movie is also definately worth checking out!! -Comedy and some surfing action that just makes you wanna get out there and surf!!

do NOT start your summer without it!!!.......2005-05-03

When I first saw Blue Crush, the first thing I noticed was the fact that the music credits featured were mostly artists I've never even heard of. I recently went to the mall and chanced upon the CD and took it to the listening booth and found it very eclectic with different genres jammed together. Although I was disappointed that it only contained 11 songs, the soundtrack still delivered attitude, steering away from the stereotypical beach sounds, which was a complete relief.

The carrier single of the disc is rock god Lenny Kravitz's kick-ass song, "If I Could Fall In Love". The music video featured the three surfer girls in the movie. Definitely a good start for a rock intro. Following is the hard-driven techno dance remix of N.E.R.D.'s "Rock Star", a head-banging track good for beach house parties.

From rock, the CD moves to a beach staple sound - pure reggae and hiphop. It features upbeat tunes such as "Party Hard" and "Big Love", with wicked remixes like "And Be Loved", "Cruel Summer (Blestenation Mix)", and "Front 2 Back (Fatboy Slim Remix)". The songs create the feel of having a jammin' good time at the beach with your friends, so you definitely can't go wrong.

The ethereal Beth Orton gives a haunting contribution to the soundtrack in "Daybreaker", an upbeat trip-hop electronica song with evoking vocals and melody. Not to be outdone is the equally talented Nikka Costa with "Everybody Got Their Something".

Rounding off the disc are two beautiful ambient tracks to end a day at the beach. The creative duo of Zero 7 incorporates the perfect summer ballad in "Destiny" - a deliciously sensual chillout track which features the sublime vocals of Sia Furler, a perfect slow number to dance with your boo. And last but not the least, Doves gives a striking track in "Firesuite" - a mellow instumental that screams "beach lounge".

There were some songs, however, that should have been added to the soundtrack, most notably P.O.D., with their songs "Youth Of The Nation" (heard only on the surfing training of Anne Marie) and "Alive" (featured on the trailer). But all in all, Blue Crush OST packs a mean tsunami punch. A perfect addition to your CD collection!

blue crush is da' bomb!!!!!!!!.......2005-03-19

this sound track is the bomb!!! the movie is too!! i love all the songs on this album especially "rock star" and "youth of the nation" but it is so stupid that "youth of the nation" is not on the soundtrack because that song is the bomb its by P.O.D by the way. anyways this soundtrack is sooooooo good and by the way you should also check into the movie both are extremly good! by the way kate bosworth is a really good actress and also by the way did i mention that this is the bomb movie!!!!!!!!???????????????????????????? by the way, bye!!!!!!!

Available at retailers for about $18.......2006-12-21

Excellent collection - but there are re-sellers listed here that are selling this for as much $50 or $60. Yikes, most major retailers are selling this complete set for $18 - so beware.

A classic compilation.......2006-10-07

This collection is one of my most treasured possessions. (My father gave me the original 5-album set in the 70's when it was originally released on vinyl.)

This is the definitive collection of Scott Joplin's work. Richard Zimmerman provides wonderful performances that accurately reflect Joplin's intentions. (As evidence beyond my personal opinion, I submit the recent releases of digital recordings made from Joplin's piano rolls.)

A few points to consider regarding negative comments you may encounter in other reviews:
* This is a digital recording from an analog master. Lack of quality in the recording does not imply a lackluster performance.
* This is a complete collection. Some similarity is due to Joplin re-exploring melodic themes. But some is due to the fact that these are "rags". One might as well complain that all 50's doo-wop (or all 70's disco) sounds the same.
* Many pieces of the period exhibit formal musical structures, such as the marches of John Phillips Sousa. (Both Sousa and Joplin performed at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis.) Actually, Joplin is responsible for extending the formal boundaries of ragtime to concert waltzes (Bethena) and opera (A Guest of Honor, Treemonisha)
* This is probably one of the few collections which will include selections from "Treemonisha". It is my understanding that after the initial release, one of Joplin's descendants made a copyright claim that was upheld in court. (I presume the issue was that Joplin had to finance "Treemonisha" himself, and therefore the customary performance clearances did not cover those selections.)

For ragtime students and enthusiasts, this is a "must-have" collection at a very affordable price.

A dis-service to Joplin.......2006-02-01

Sadly, the only virtue this set possesses is completeness.

The pianist does not play Joplin's pieces "as written", the piano is of poor quality, and not properly in tune.

This is emphatically NOT the set to buy. A far better set, beautifully annotated and well played on a good concert grand piano, is the complete works played by Guido Nielsen on the Basta Label.

This set is a dis-service to Joplin and his music. He deserves better, and gets it elsewhere.

Unique .......2004-10-19

I have several cd sets of Joplin's music: Rifkin, Arpo, Nielsen, and Zimmerman. All have their excellent qualities. What sets Zimmerman's set apart is the inclusion of excerpts from Joplin's opera, Treemonisha---especially "A Real Slow Drag." Why the other sets do not include excerpts from Treemonisha, I don't know---because they are some of his most beautiful and joyful pieces of music. Of course, you can hear the orchestrated version of Treemonisha in the Houston Grand Opera recording, and it is spectacular. But Zimmerman's piano version, especially of "A Real Slow Drag," is not to be missed.

Great set.......2001-10-16

I guess this will be a rather one sided review. I have been a fan of Scott Joplin since I first learned to play a piano.

I was shocked to see that one reviewer thought it all sounded the same. How silly. All of Frank Sinatra's music sounds like Frank Sinatra. All of Led Zeppelin sounds like Led Zeppelin. So, if the songs were drastically different, I would question if the same author composed them. As it is, though, each song on this set is fantastic!!

I don't know that I have heard of Richard Zimmerman, and I was a little leary as to what I would be getting, I certainly was impressed. Without a doubt the best renditions of "Weeping Willow" and "Bethena" I have heard, and at least a dozen songs I didn't know Joplin wrote.

It is not done better than this.......2005-01-15

I am a enthousiastic collector, and have almost all the Time Life rock n roll stuff, as well as Eric Records cds of this era. Although they are essential to any 50s 60s collection, nothing can top ACE series.
I could comment like this on all the 50s remasters of this fabulous record label, not only these issues, but especially the Golden Age of American Rock n roll. I can not add anything to the positive reviews than simply summing up my personal view:
28 tracks per cd, and sometimes 30! (Time life is also excellent, but you get 15 per cd!)
excellent booklets with background info (not surpassed by any label).
not the same old songs over again, but many rare and still excellent tracks!
last but not least amazing sound quality.
So although you might have some songs there on other collections, it is for above mentioned points alone worth it to always have an ACE copy as well.

Great Mix of Oldies!.......2003-04-10

This is a great CD for anyone who loves oldies! Even though I'm young..., I prefer oldies to modern music, and this album is great! Since no single artist has two songs on it, you never get bored of the style of music. Also, it alternates between male and female voices. Before I got this CD I hardly knew of any of the songs, but now I know and love them all!

Cream of the Crop.......2001-11-24

This second installment in Ace Records' "Teenage Crush" series continues to prove their unequalled status in bringing classic American rock and roll to the CD medium. Packed with 28 tracks from the golden age of American pop, this CD has five number ones, 18 top-20 hits, four that made it into the top-40 and one, Bobby Curtola's "Fortune Teller" that was just out of the top-40 (41) on the charts. While mining the top-40, the repertoire here does not just regurgitate the same old stuff found on so many other oldies compilations in the market. While there're lots of familiar tunes here to hum along to, you won't find tracks like Billy Storm's "I've Come Of Age", Larry Hall's "Sandy" or Gary Miles' "Look For A Star" in many, if any, other comp CDs, especially with the sound quality presented here. As has come to be expected, Ace has secured better sources for many of these tracks and sound quality is the best encountered so far for virtually all of these tunes. Many of the tracks appear in true stereo (6,12,13,15,16,19,22-24,26-28) with the remainder in clean mono. Completing the package is a 16-page booklet with many pics, promo shots and detailed backround notes on the artists represented on the disc. Another outstanding effort by Ace - it just isn't done any better than this.

A Well Chosen (And Generous) Anthology.......2001-01-06

Over the past decade England's ACE label has become one of the recording industry's leading rerelease giants. In fact, in my book they've outdistanced Rhino Records, who I long considered the standard bearer for reissues. Both labels do a superb job of tracking down the best source tapes available. However, where Rhino generally puts about twenty tracks (or less) on a disk and includes a booklet with only six or eight pages, ACE packs 28 songs onto the disk and includes a 20-page booklet loaded with photos and artist information on every song.

In addition to such No. 1 hits as "Come Softly to Me," "The Three Bells," "Honeycomb," "Venus" and "The Theme from 'A Summer Place,'" you also get seldom anthologized hits like Brook Benton's "Endlessly," Larry Finnegan's "Dear One," Jimmy Elledge's "Funny How Time Slips Away" and Gary Miles' "Look for a Star."

Amazon.com essential recording

This is a considerably expanded version of the soundtrack album to Vincente Minnelli's Oscar-winning film. With two discs and 100 minutes of music (much of which is presented for the first time), these original session masters are highlighted by the MGM Studio Orchestra, Oscar Levant, Benny Carter, and Gene Kelly, all of whom perform such memorable Gershwin tunes as "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Love Is Here to Stay," and "S'Wonderful." Just about all of the material has a monotonously mono sound, but Levant's version of "Concerto in F" is included here for the first time in true stereo. Along with several Levant improvisational piano solos based on Gershwin's music, there are also some outtakes as well as extensive production and historical notes. --Joseph Lanza

Magic of love.......2007-03-10

Nothing but Gene and George: the hard work and the happiness in music, conducting by the magician Vince.
Noone is better, noone could do better.
American masterpiece with european feelings.

Filled with musical gems.......2004-02-17

This comprehensive edition is a must have for fans of the movie and of the Gershwins. The outtakes, contrary to the first review above, are excellent. Gene Kelly offers a wonderful vocal of "I've Got a Crush on You" and his short riff on "'S Wonderful" is almost like an acoustic version, much different than the over-the-top duet in the movie. And the Oscar Levant piano pieces are as close to George sitting down at the keys as we're going to get.

TOO LONG !!!!!!!!!!!.......2002-06-17

I would not suggest buying this version of this sondtrack!!! The underscores and the extra tracks that are not featured in the film are not neccesary. Rhino records puts the extras out to jack up the price of the CD (making one LP into 2 CDs).
I would buy the ORIGINAL CAST SOUNDTRACK released by MGM records. You will enjoy this version ever so much more without all the extras!!!

GERSHWIN'S TALENT.......2001-08-12

Many agree that the talented George Gershwin is a fabulous pianist, and alongside Ira, he helped to create some of the most beloved music ever. After viewing the movie that was filled with song and dance, I was pleased to discover that the soundtrack was readily available. The plot of An American in Paris mainly focuses on the lives of three friends and their dreams in addition to the romance that they encounter in the most popular European city. Gene Kelley is a struggling artist who soon falls in love, and the many songs in this cd express his emotions. Who wouldn't want to dance to Gershwin's spectacular tunes such as "Embraceable You?" These original songs included in this two cd set are well worth the price. Furthermore, "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" is a true favorite with unique lyrics. Don't miss out on this must have cd collection.
