Yes, it is THAT bad.......2007-06-08

Why, why is it so difficult to reissue the originals, in full? The music is wonderful--well, if you're a fan, you know that already--but the sound effects really are laughably bad. And as the sound effects were integral to the atmosphere of several tracks, it really does matter. Now, instead of the jungle sounds that accompanied the original track, you get to listen to some house sparrows chirping and flitting cheerfully from tree to tree, as if you were sailing toy boats in the park instead of slogging through the jungles of New Guinea. If the original sound effects are missing, minimal effort from RCA could have secured at least reasonably realistic substitutes. Instead, we get this pathetic garbage. Really a shame. That second star is only because the original music is so good.

More victory at sea.......2007-03-26

It's ok, but much of it was cut from the original album. I have the complete set of 33 1/3 albums,there were three, the cd is ok but lacks the original sounds put on when recorded.Sounds were added that were not originally there.It can't compare to the original.

Victory At Sea.......2007-03-09

This time honored musical composition is without a doubt the best in its depiction of war in the Pacific. The music tells the real story!!

More Victory at Sea.......2007-01-04

The quality of the digitally remastered music on this CD is far and above what I was expecting. The entire CD plays flawlessly without so much as a hint of unwanted background noise. My experience in purchasing this CD was very good. Shipment was almost immediate and delivery prompt. I can find absolutely nothing to complain about and am very happy with my purchase. Thanks a million.

Victory at Sea Volumes 1 and 2.......2006-12-14

What an utter disappointment. I've got the originals on vinyl, and this sad excuse for a reissue was not worth the money I spent. Most of the sound effects from the original have been left out, and the final 10-minute-plus piece, "Symphonic Scenario", bears not even a passing resemblance to the original. Don't waste your time and money.

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Another Great Two-Fer From A Great Texas Rock Band.......2007-03-02

AMERICAN EXCE$$/ON A ROLL is yet another great two-fer from Texas rock band Point Blank and its pro-law-enforcement leader, guitarist Rusty Burns. Bubba Keith has replaced John O'Daniel on vocals, giving the band a slightly more commercial sound and style, but this set is still great. Now if only AIRPLAY and THE HARD WAY would be properly reissued.

Like a Pop/Rock 2fer Blast from the Past!.......2007-01-21

Recently while traveling out of town I heard the song Nicole on the radio. How cool! I hadn't heard it in years and couldn't remember who it was by. It sorta stuck in my mind so I did the research and discovered Point Blank CD's on Amazon. I didn't really understand initially but this turns out to be two albums combined on one disc. I didn't remember until it arrived but "On A Roll" is an album I'd bought clear back in 1980 that had some great music on it too!

Southern Rock At It's Best!.......2006-02-19

I've had "Airplay" on vinyl for years and love it. I ran across this double cd and thought I'd check it out and WOW! This is a great two-on-one cd. I love every song here. Great guitars...great keyboards...great vocals! Point Blank is an extremely overlooked old rock band. Sadly, they just don't make em like this anymore. This is one of the best cd purchases I've made in recent months. Highly recommended!

Includes AOR hit "Nicole".......2004-12-14

TWO ALBUMS ON ONE CD.
***"American Exce$$" was Point Blank's big moment and included included a sizable AOR hit Nicole - you'll remember the very memorable driving rhythm. The album has great production for the era and another minor radio song, Let Me Stay With You Tonight. Extra points for awsome album art.
***"On a Roll" also featured two minor AOR radio tracks, Great White Line and the title track. Though, perhaps more memorable, is the introspective deep cut, Gone Hollywood - Just as American Exce$$ had awsome artwork, On A Roll has one of the wost covers of the 80s.
FYI - AOR stands for Album Oriented Rock, a very sucsessful FM radio format in the late 70s and early 80s. ...Post disco, pre Madona. Quite a lot of these stations evolved into Classic Rock stations as the format died in the late 80s and early 90s. Point Blank is one of the many bands that were sucsessful in the AOR era, but were excluded from most classic rock programing.

POG is awesome.......2005-09-23

This is one of my all time favorite cd's. The girls of POG have amazing voices and perfect harmony. The songs are also beautifully written.

great cd.......2005-06-21

I think this cd, along with The whole truth is a very good witnessing tool. It talks a lot about God's love, and his plan, and even the rapture. This is my favorite POG cd by a landslide!

This is a wonderful CD. All the songs really get you thinking about God, and I believe that's what Christian music is supposed to do.

Amazon.com

Larry Cordle's power derives from the masterful, subtle way he combines the best elements of traditional bluegrass and honky-tonk. Cordle possesses a supple, resonant slip-note voice in the George Jones-Lefty Frizzell tradition. On a fine love lament like "I'm Not the First," a wise honky-tonk ballad like "Jesus and Bartenders," and a warm reminiscence like "Black Diamond Strings," all original songs, his voice works magic when backed by the stalwart bluegrass harmonies and hot instrumental licks of longtime associates Lonesome Standard Time. Best of all (and hilariously illustrated by some incredibly clever CD cover photos) is the title tune--another sterling Cordle composition--a scathing, tongue-in-cheek commentary on the general decline of tradition and good taste in Nashville. Cordle puts an even finer point on his putdown with his own consistently great taste and his own wonderfully inspired reverence for honky-tonk and bluegrass traditions alike. --Bob Allen

honkytonk bluegrass and more.......2000-12-18

Even without the famous, ruefully hilarious, Nashville-baiting title song, Murder on Music Row would be an exceptional excursion into countrified bluegrass. It is alleged that George Jones once considered a career in bluegrass, and in some ways Larry Cordle tells us what the Possum might have sounded like if he had. My idea of hillbilly heaven would incorporate a honkytonk with Jones's version of Cordle and Leslie Winn Satcher's "Jesus and Bartenders" ("Jesus and bartenders/ Hear it all") on the jukebox. In the meantime, Cordle's own version will do nicely. First-rate songs and hard-driving yet tuneful instrumentals -- all in all, a reminder of just how good good bluegrass can be.

Larry Cordle Is The Real Deal. . ........2000-10-05

Larry Cordle is a quiet man. He has a keen sense of his environment and the way humans relate to others. Those qualities are essential for a great songwriter, and he is one of the best. "Murder On Music Row" is an album (and a title song) which displays his honesty, albeit in a tongue-in-cheek manner. On Wednesday, October 4, 2000, I was not at home watching the CMA Awards show on television. I was doing a volunteer stint at a college radio station, programming a 3-hour bluegrass show. A friend called and alerted me that George Strait and Alan Jackson won the Vocal Event Catergory for the song, "Murder On Music Row." At the Awards, one of those "hat act" fellows (I'm not sure which one, they are pretty much interchangable) said he did not know what the person who wrote the song was thinking, they did it as a joke. One wonders who the real punchline is in this case. The song in question was a commentary on how big-money Nashville has pretty much removed all the good things about country music from country music. Larry has a definite opinion, so he co-wrote this song in response to some pretty big giants in his industry. This middle-aged David stood up for what I'm finding is not a popular view. This music, however, speaks for itself. You need to buy his independent release and enjoy all the songs, including two HOT insturmentals, "Black Jack" and "Buck's Run." This is southern flavored music is as it was intended, great stories, superior picking and wonderful harmonies. Let the Nashville Goliaths know what you think by owning your own copy of this slingshot!

Great songs.......2000-05-04

This is a great bluegrass CD. The title song, "Murder on Music Row" is great and has gotten the most recognition, but the picking, singing, and songwriting on all the other songs is great also.

Bluegrass at it's best........2000-03-31

If you are a Bluegrass music fan you need to add this album to your collection. It just doesn't get any better than this.

PRICELESS.......2000-03-13

THIS IS MY FAVORITE CD THAT HAS BEEN OUT IN A VERY LONG TIME. I AM VERY EXCITED THAT LARRY HAS RELEASED SUCH A POWERFUL ALBUM. THE MUSICIANS AND SONGS ARE BOTH UNTOUCHABLE. ALL THE CUTS ARE GREAT, ESPECIALLY "MURDER ON MUSIC ROW", "HARDTIMES", AND "ALL SAID AND DONE". I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT "MURDER ON MUSIC ROW" IT IS ONE THING TO HAVE A GOOD SONG WITH GOOD LYRICS BUT TO HAVE A SONG WITH THE BEST LYRICS AND MUSIC IS HAUNTING. I WANT TO THANK LARRY CORDLE AND LARRY SHELL FOR WRITING THIS SONG. THEY HAVE SAID TO THE COUNTRY MUSIC WORLD WHAT EVERY HARDCORE MUSIC FAN HAS WANTED TO SAY FOR A VERY LONG TIME. SO, ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTRY MUSIC INDUSTRY, SONGWRITERS, MUSICIANS, AND ESPECIALLY THE FANS, WE ALL THANK THESE GUYS FOR SAYING IT FOR US. I LOVE THIS ALBUM AND I HAVE SATURATED MYSELF IN THE TRADITIONAL, HARDCORE MUSIC IT REPRESENTS.

psychobilly romper room stomp.......2006-06-05

I have been listening to the "cemetary shoes" album. Okay now be warned before you rush into Johnny he is considered to be in the Genre of "PSYCHOBILLY" so if you do not have at least a passsing appreciation of Rockabilly, punk, goth, and alt country. So don't blame me if he scares the hell out of you or you just don't get it, but if you can get past any prejudices or dislikes you initially have of the music and really listen to the man, he has something to say and a very unique way of saying it. you can hear a few samples of Johnny on his website at www.johnnydowd.com Here are the lyrics to one of his songs that I really like the words to,

Billy Blu



A crooked little man / lives in the underground
Sometimes he goes up / but mostly he stays down

People call him Billy / William is his name
In the coming darkness / he's the keeper of the flame

He repairs radios / with alien transistors
Cosmic commnication / between brothers and sisters

He has information / unavailable to most
He converses with angels / and sleeps with ghosts

Silence is a sadness / a bird with a song
Billy is a sailor / between right and wrong

A world of light and promise / is beyond his memory
In the present he is occupied / preparing for eternity

Lucifer is coming / don't let the children hear
The devil's in the wood pile / judgment day is near

Things that seem simple / are extremely complicated
When you scratch the surface / of things gold-plated

© Johnny Dowd

I hope the more adventurous of you take a listen and give him half a chance and those less adventurous look at all the pictures of his pretty face (well at least that was the one good thing one young lady could find about him). On another interesting note about Johnny he didn't record his first album until he was 50 years old. Well guess I can't complain I didn't put out my first book until I was 34, and I had twenty odd years of material back logged. Which we can really blame on Bob because I really didn't think much of the "bits" I wrote until I heard SBR and I thought man I want to make statements like that. I look at Johnny's lyrics and it so often reminds me of the ways that I string words together. So take a listen, check out what he says, and always keep an open mind, remember don't judge a book by it's cover (or a book of poetry by it's title).

Meh........2004-11-12

Man oh man...you know I love JD, but this album is sort of making me question me faith. I question whether two stars is really fair, but I gave three to The Pawnbroker's Wife, and this is definitely inferior to that one, so that's what it's getting. The most obvious disappointment here--and I think most fans would agree with me on this--is the absence of the immaculate Kim Sherwood-Caso's vocal talents. This was always a big part of the appeal of any Dowd album; she made good songs into stunning songs, and I suspect that, even if the ones here aren't as good as usual, she could have partially redeemed some of them. I certainly hope the two of them haven't had some sort of falling out, and that we'll hear more of her in future Dowd recordings.

Here's what's good about this album: the frenzied 'Garden of Delights.' I would say that this is the one song here that approaches classic status; an unnervingly intense tale of murder/suicide. Also pretty good: 'Wedding Dress,' with its entertaining southern gothic lyric (maybe Dowd should write books). That and 'Brother Jim' have a gospel feel to them (even if one's about a crossdressing butcher and the other a clerical murderer). 'Whisper in the Nag's Ear' might be okay on its own, but it just seems pointlessly overdone compared to the spare original version on Pictures From Life's Other Side.

But...most of the songs are just kind of there. Not unpleasant to listen to, but not exactly exciting either. I expect a lot more from the guy who wrote 'Worried Mind' and 'Hell or High Water.' Better luck next time.

Johnny Dowd makes me appreciate having ears to hear with and a mind to think with. Here is a man who, in a just world, would enjoy the success that more commercial musicians do today; that he does not is a real crime (then again, the world's loss is his fans' gain). His music is deep, dark and thoughtful, but well crafted, like an Alfred Hitchcock film. The tunes take some getting used to, as does his voice, because they cover material not usually associated with today's homogenized and emasculated pop and radio scene. But like most acquired tastes, you wonder how you ever got along without it. He writes music like the moon casts shadows, makes you look over your shoulder, and consider your fate. His albums, including his recent, Cemetary Shoes, deal with topics from the seamy side of life, a portion of the world that is anathema to the Britneys, the Jessicas, and the other pop tarts of music. If you appreciate artistry, thought and challenge, check out the Dowd catalog. Stretch your imagination a little. Take a chance on his music and experience an enveloping warmth that is cognition and emotion melding.
