Amazon.com's Best of 2001

While not as out-of-left-field revelatory and astonishing as their exalted debut, nor as darkly magnetic as their sophomore follow-up, Volume 3: Further in Time finds Afro Celt Sound System fleshed out, funky, and fiercely fresh. Now a band of 20-some-odd players, the Afro Celts push forward with unbounded energy and focus, organically driven beats, and a thoroughly joyous fusion of West African and Irish traditional music enhanced with dissonant Eastern influence, psychedelic trip-hop groove, and a monster flood of sonic waves. The resultant sound is somehow both cutting-edge futuristic and primitive in its visceral virility. Demba Barry steps up with an unexpectedly punchy African hip-hop-styled vocal on "Shadowman," "Lagan" plays out into an orchestral swan dive, and, throughout, Johnny Kalsi and Moussa Sissokho come on like gangbusters with the drums. Real World label honcho and world-music champion Peter Gabriel does a stunning turn on the eminently catchy "When You're Falling," and Robert Plant contributes a powerfully epic rock vocal on "Life Begins Again." Fine as all these moments are, the centerpiece of volume 3, where the band achieves beyond perfect synthesis, is the ecstatic groove-lock on the African acid ceilidh of "Colossus." Volume 3 is the tune-in turn-on we've been waiting for. --Paige La Grone

Awesome CD!.......2006-11-26

I just can't get enough of this group. They have such a unique sound: the name of the group sums it up pretty well. This is an awesome CD like the others.

Unique and upbeat.......2006-11-06

I was introduced to this music by a coworker and I really like it! I've always been a fan of celtic music, but this is like celtic on espresso. It's very upbeat and truly unique. I highly recommend it - enjoy!!

Incredible - the only word to describe it.......2006-08-02

My aunt put this in the car one day when we were driving to my uncle's house. I had just played the song "Chaiyya Chaiyya" from Inside Man, and she said I bet you'll like this, it's a lot of the same style. As soon as she put it on, "North" came on, and absolutely blew me away. The beautiful ambient sounds and the sparse, yet undeniably enchanting African vocals were just beautiful. By the time "North Part 2" came on, we were both drumming our hands and dancing in the car. Whoever thought of mixing African and Celtic music, then setting it to a rave/techno beat is a genius.

She bought me the CD (and also "Seed, which is great too), and I've been listening to it obsessively since. I know it's now a cliche so rate this CD 5 stars, but the beautiful, haunting melodies and the catchy, rythmic tehcno beats make this CD one of the best in my collection. It was a great find for me especially, since I'm getting sick of all the horrible pop/rock/rap that's out there. If you're like me, and you're sick of all "today's hits" and are looking for something to dance to and have a great time listening to, BUY THIS ALBUM! It is something very fresh and amazing. Aah, North 2 just came on with that awesome celtic instrument riff and dance club style techno beat. I gotta get back to dancing!

My mind has been blown.......2006-05-30

Peter Gabriel, Robert Plant, plus musicians from all over the world combining their grooves together to make a whole that surpasses anything I could have imagined. This CD not only transports, it elevates! Essential for the world music collector.

Afro celt all the best the world has to offer in one band..........2006-04-20

Every album is better than the one before...I love the depth to the music and the fact that it is depth from the number of musicians playing and not the number of sound effects is wonderful. There is a difference...and wow it is powerful....thank you thank you thank you

Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

Well-Conseived Follow-Up to "Man In The Mirror".......2003-06-04

As indicated I purchased this and "Man In The Mirror" together,
having heard no other '80's-era Passport outside of the very
dissappointing and inconsistant "Blue Tatoo",but both blew me away!Much of this follows in "Mirror's" lead with a series of catchy electro funk/fusion pieces spiked with a dollop of electric rock guitar,many featuring the wonderfulvocals of Victoria Miles,who brings to mind Style Council singer DC Lee. Most impressive though is "Talisman",featuring Passport meastro Klaus Dolinger himself on bamboo flute along with Miles's sudtle chanting.Even the albums slowest cut "Auryn" is far too clever and ambitious to conjur up any Kenny G-ish nightmares.So a word to all Passport fans-don't let the late date put you off because
nothing here will dissappoint!

Breathtaking.......2007-02-03

I've never heard of Shanti Shanti until I heard Celtic Saraswati on the music channel: Soundscapes on Cable. I was hunting for some violin pieces on different music genres.

When I switched to Soundscapes for new age/world music/folk, I then heard an enchanting violin piece: Celtic Saraswati. Searched Amazon, Bought the CD. What a breath of fresh air. I love the mellow sound of Vedic Lullaby and the upbeat Language of the Gods. The track that was unusual, yet unique was Dreaming in Real Time.

If you want to explore your music world, Shanti Shanti should be one of your stops.

Another beautiful hit.......2006-11-23

I have been a fan of this group (two sisters) for some time. Their music is different and breath taking. I enjoy listening to the sanskirt and now realize why it is considered the mother tongue for most of the languages of today.

WOW!!.......2004-01-09

I just recently purchased this album. It is absolutely wonderful! There is a lot of vibration raising energy here. If you are reading this review, go ahead and purchase the album. You will not regret your decision.

THE PHONEY LIVE ALBUM.......2006-01-21

In Real Time was produced by the band for Release in 1987 so they could have something to peddle to the masses that would be seeing them as the opening act for a certain Jethro Tull during the "Crest Of A Knave" tour.
It was recorded live in the studio (at the band's own Woodworm Records) with pre-recorded audience sounds tacked on, pictures from the Cropredy Festival were included to lead all to believe it was recorded there.
That said even if it is "The Phoney Live Album" it is an excellant one and one of the best recordings in the band's history.
It begins with "Reynard The Fox", and the playing is stellar, Ric Sanders is way on top of this one, taking is fiddle where no one has gone before or since. "Widow of Westmorland's Daughter" has about a million words in it and vocalist Simon Nicol sings em' all in just over three minutes, best version of this ditty on record. Next up is the "Hiring Fair", first heard on a Swarbrick/ Nicol record in the early 80's, this version is way better because Simon's voice had matured to a fine instrument by 1987, and the fantastic "Cosmic" solo by Ric is just amazing...on seeing the band play this in 89, my friend called it "Soul Fiddlin" and I tend to agree with that.
"Crazy Man Michael", sounds really pretty, some reviewers really hate this version because it's a lot different from the original...well even without Richard's guitar, it's still worth a listen.
Side Two starts up with "Close To The Wind" and it's my favorite on this Disk, quite simply put it's a GREAT song and and the band's performance is fantastic. Next is the show closer "Matty Groves" in it's late 80's arrangement and it's my favorite of the dozens of versions out there on other CD's, but that said, I do wonder how it's gonna sound the next time the boy's are at the Palms Playhouse in Winters, Ca. Tacked on at the end of the disk is the 87 version of "Meet On The Ledge", lot's of folks do not like this version for some reason or another, I don't get it, can't understand why it ticks off these people, like "Mattty" it's my favorite version of this classic (along with Iain Matthews solo rendering live in concert).
If I were to have a complaint about "In Real Time"... I'd wish it was twice it's current length...... FIVE STARS.

My Virginal Fairport Experience.......2005-04-06

I love this CD simply because I saw them on the tour they did to promote this album. They opened for Jethro Tull in 1987 (Tull was hawking their Crest of a Knave CD), and it's still the best concert I've ever seen. It was the first time I had seen either band, and I haven't recovered from it since, I'm happy to say.

Back to the FC CD, when I saw them play "Reynard the Fox" at the above mentioned concert, my jaw dropped to the floor, and it's pretty much stayed there. "The Swirling Pit/Matty Groves/Sack the Juggler" also provoked a similar reaction. I knew that I was going to be hunting down all things Fairport from that point forward. Of course, I started with In Real Time because it was their latest release and led off with "Reynard." It was an obvious choice in the process of dispensing with my FC virginity.

I listened to this CD incessantly in college, driving my roomate and other folks around me crazy, but I didn't care. I realized I had discovered something marvelous, and I was truly enjoying myself. There were a few things I didn't like about the CD -- namely that the it opens so strongly with "Reynard the Fox" and "The Widow of Westmorland's Daughter," then three very slow, brooding songs follow. Not that "The Hiring Fair," "Close to the Wind," and "Crazy Man Michael" are bad songs. My Lord, no. "Crazy Man Michael" is a wonderful Richard Thompson song (although when I read about the circumstances of its being written, I realized what a terribly sad song it is), and "The Hiring Fair" is one of Simon Nicol's truly great vocal moments and one of Ralph McTell's great compositions (amongst many). It's just too many "down" songs in a row for me. When the "Swirling/Matty/Sack" medley kicks in, it's a welcome pick-me-up.

The then-newly recorded version of Richard Thompson's "Meet on the Ledge" is not the best one out there and hardly bests the original studio version, but again, it's the first version I heard and therefore has a special place in my heart.

I also realized, through this album, the extensive musician swapping that Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull did during this period. Dave Pegg played bass in both bands, and multi-instrumentalist Maartin Alcock would play on one future album and several tours. Drummer Dave Mattacks also joined Tull in the early '90's for one tour and live CD. I'm so glad that I got into both bands heavily starting from this very fertile period in both their histories.

Fairport Convention has no shortage of great live CD's, and musically speaking, many of them beat this one by a long shot, but this one will always be my favorite, because it was the one that introduced me to them. FC is the best folk-rock band there ever was, British or otherwise, and I just hope they stay together forever.

Nice songs, horrible mix.......2004-09-02

I really enjoy the modern approach to antique sounding British folk music represented by this album. The musicianship seems high but for one problem. The vocals are distant, often muddled and indistinct, and the vocalist is fairly lackluster. He is no Richard Thompson, (band member from a long time ago) that's for sure. If it's true that this is an artifically "lived" version of studio recordings, as is rumored in another review - well you think they could have gotten the mix right. I can't imagine a band allowing this to happen, what a bizarre idea. Good band, lousy album. However the songs Hiring Fair and Close to the Wind are worth having - maybe they exist elsewhere in better recorded sound.

What the last guy said..........2003-11-20

I am introduced to this band by listening to this brilliant live effort. I am led to contribute my 2/100.
It is alway exciting to listen to a new band and get hooked on them. I passed these guys up or just didn't cross paths. Now, a new fan can wholeheartedly uphold two thumbs.
If you haven't heard the band, hear this first. I don't have all the adjectives to describe them. Talented, tight, diverse yet integrated... they've got it going on, every song immediately grabbed me, damn near throttled me mesmerized... so original, non-commercial, unique. Nicol's voice is right up with the best I've heard... and the musicianship words cannot capture, so very impressed. This is at least an outstanding show.

Live or not, a very good album.......2002-03-20

Another reviewer has said this "live" album was actually recorded in a studio, with audience noise added later. If so, it had me fooled. Based on the '87 Cropredy live songs on the "It All Comes 'Round Again" video, this is a good representation of how Fairport sounded live at the time. At latest count, I have 7 live versions of "Matty Groves" and this is easily the best, with a revised arrangement that suggests the violence of the lyrics. After Fairport reunited in the mid-80s, Simon Nicol was the only lead singer for a decade -- this album captures his odd re-birth as a romantic ballad singer, with "Close to the Wind" and the lovely "The Hiring Fair." There are also strong versions of old Fairport songs "Crazy Man Michael" and "The Widow of Westmorland's Daughter". The album ends with an unnecessary studio remake of "Meet on the Ledge."

Album Description

This is the text from the Pamphlet we are including with the

Ultimate Island Spa mix, "This Time in Between." How to use this CD The program of music on this CD offers an instrumental sequenced journey for healing therapy including preparation of the room atmosphere and the therapist's state of mind and energy level. The music then gently takes the healer and client to deeper and deeper levels of relaxation. After about an hour, the music gently brings the energy level up and leaves all involved with an uplifted spirit of hope and abundance. 1) Start CD. During songs 1&2, Prepare room atmosphere, light candles and incense. Prepare therapy surface. (table or chair) Greet client, ushering into your healing space, allowing her to relax and prepare. (undress, lay down, breathe) 2) Song 3 plays. Therapist returns and begins session. Music is still slightly upbeat but slowly easing the client out of her hectic world and into this time in between. 3) Music slows and stays mellow for the next five songs. Client drifts off to her own comfortable space. 4) With the next three songs, the musical journey begins to turn upward, slowly guiding the client back into a safe space. She is rejuvenated. And with the final song, uplifted yet still in a very mellow space. 5) Therapist and client are both left relaxed and energized.
