Album Description

Hypermodern Jazz 2000.5 returns home from its former label Mille Plateaux! This is a fine example of part of a collection of Alec Empire's electronic work from the late `90s. Like his peers Aphex Twin, Empire has constantly provoked his machinery into performing unexpected but affecting acrobatics for the ears.

This is Digital Hardcore.......2001-07-22

For those who truly know DHR music, this album shouldn't surprise you. It has always been Alec Empire's place to take forms of music that we earlier perceived as natural (Jazz in this case) and completely destroy it beyond recognition. Saturated in trippy beats and melodies, Hypermodern Jazz 2000.5 delivers a mind-anesthetizing experience that easily competes with Alec's Destroyer (albeit in a much different way). Take for example the first track off the album entitled "Walk The Apocalypse." It is absolute fact that this song is a modern day classic with its ambitious showcase of disorienting omnipotent rhythms and ingenious keyboard mastery. The mood of the album rarely deviates after that although it does delve into some choice voice samplings that only Alec would have thought up to use. Oh well, in conclusion I don't really need to recommend this to DHR fans since you wisely picked it up long ago. All others should be ashamed.

My Funk is Useless.......2001-01-05

Hypermodern Jazz 2000.5 is a blend of trippy drum beats, crazy basslines, and even stranger voice samples that all seem to come together perfectly for an excellent album. The track "God Told Me How to Kiss" is probably the best on the album, but all of them are pretty good. I highly recommend it to any DHR fans!

The best system tester for over all sound.......2003-04-16

My name is William Tucker I am 28 years old and have listened to Bass ever since I was 12.This has always been my favoriate CD of all time.It has all the highs , lows and mids you need to tweek out your system.It was the first bass album I ever heard.And it is still the best I have ever heard.I have 6000 watts rms in my car pushing through 4 RFX power HX2 FOSGATE 12" subs. I Have hit 159.02 with the song BASS COMPUTER. Thank you TECHMASTER!!

Techmaster- The God of Bass.......2001-09-05

All hail the god of bass. He does it all. Great songs. Great Scratching.Great Bass. Well used Kraftwerk samples. I wish I could meet this man in real life. Hell, I don't even know what his name is. He seems to disclose little about his self. There are differences between Bass Computer 2000 and the original Bass Computer. It seems there might have been problems with sample clearence that he couldn't get cleaned up. Many samples from the original have been ommited and replaced. The song DPE has been almost revamped. A few new songs have been added. If im not mistaken one song was removed. It almost consisted wholly of samples.(First song on the second side of the tape. I forgot the name.) Aside from all that. This cd is perfect. It can play as a bass cd. It can play as a New Age cd. It can play as an ambient cd. It deserves to carry the electronic torch started by Edgar Froese and company back in the late 60's. Rest well Edgar, the music is in good hands thanks to people like P.E.B.

The best bassgazm.......1999-10-12

The people have the idea of how to mix the music to create more music. I have to say that this CD is one hell of a CD to listen specialy if you love Bass.

Rap & Hip Hop?! I disagree........1999-10-09

This is a decent electronic album with, yes, a prominent bassline. I didn't get the feel of rap or hip hop from it because, bassically, I don't like either genre and I liked this disc. The samples are consistently clever and often amusing, making for a varied listen in whatever style it is. Uh...that's...um...word? A'ite!

Techmaster P.E.B at its BEST!!.......1999-08-04

First i like to say i had the original techmaster peb disc but i wanted to get this one for the additional 4 tracks and i was not disappointed =) This is the best Bass disc on the market and if you think your subs can handle the bass just try track 6. Bassgasm =) and my personal favorite computer love =) by the way i have had about 60 bass discs and this is the BEST no contest =) Good going Techmaster P.E.B. keep up the work and lets do some more like computer love and bassgasm =)

Bass bumpin music!.......2000-07-02

Uncle Luke is back, just in time for bass lover in you. 1 CD, 27 tracks, and the most bass riden, shaken music since AS NASTY AS THEY WANNA BE. Rapper Big Pun drops by on SLIPPERY WHEN WET. (I'll leave the title alone.) The best part of this Luke "experience", the liner notes, the which reads as a who's who in hip hop music. A pleasant surprise appears on track 10, BABY BE MINE, the Quad City DJ's let the groove flow as only they can. Don't say I didn't warn you, spare yourself from the bass remix of LOVIN' YOU track 14.

The Bach renaissance--which began in earnest in the early 19th century thanks to the efforts of Felix Mendelssohn and others--inspired an endeavor of far-reaching significance. It led to the founding of the Bach Society in 1850, with the goal of gathering and publishing the composer's complete works, and thus set into motion one of the great projects of musical scholarship. That effort has continued and been refined throughout the 20th century, ultimately influencing not only our perception of how to perform early music but fundamental ideas of musical history, evolution, and reception as well.

Teldec's mammoth Bach 2000 box set represents a kind of culmination of that original attempt to come to terms with Johann Sebastian Bach's unparalleled legacy. This set brings together performances recorded over the last several decades--a small percentage of the recordings are previously unreleased--of all the extant works determined by modern scholarship to be authentic. There are also some pieces the authorship of which is still in question and a few now deemed "inauthentic" but familiarly associated with the composer. Bach was a prodigious reviser of his compositions, and alternate versions of a particular work have been included "where the changes seemed sufficiently important," such as the glorious Magnificat. No doubt manuscripts will continue to be unearthed here and there in various archives (Bach 2000 contains, for example, the "Neumeister chorales," which were rediscovered in 1984), but the set does not represent the many fragments of music that consist of just a few bars; however, there are some reconstructions of lost concertos (such as one for three violins reconstructed by Christopher Hogwood from an extant concerto for harpsichords).

Of course a truly comprehensive recorded edition of every note Bach wrote remains a utopian impossibility--about one-third of his cantatas, for example, have not survived. Even so, the dimensions of Bach 2000 are staggering. With its 12 boxes comprising 153 CDs, the set can be compressed into fewer boxes to save shelf space yet is still about ten times as long as the Ring cycle. (It should be noted that the packaging--using thin cardboard sleeves for the CDs--is distinctively unattractive.) That adds up to just under 160 hours of music--but a lifetime of discovery. Each box (grouped according to genre) contains a booklet with excellent notes on individual works and--for all the choral works--texts and translations. Tracking indexes are useful and thorough. Also included is a profusely illustrated hardbound volume of 24 Inventions, in which journalist Wolfgang Sandberger uses the composer's biography as a peg for some enigmatic and fascinating musings on the meaning of Bach today.

The presiding philosophy behind this project and its approach to musical interpretation can be largely ascribed to Nikolaus Harnoncourt, a true musical pioneer and galvanizing force of the "period performance" movement. Harnoncourt's epoch-making recordings of the sacred cantatas (using, for instance, boy sopranos and choristers according to the practice in Bach's time) with the Concentus musicus Wien and colleague Gustav Leonhardt comprise the first four volumes here (those who already own them can turn to the Bach 2000 Light edition, which contains everything sans the cantatas). These recordings--which were not remastered for this set--have long been controversial and are notably uneven, embracing some magnificent accounts as well as others that lack fire and seem clearly underrehearsed. But Harnoncourt is one of the most fascinating conductors of our era, and his interpretations amply bear out his assertion: "I have never felt that Bach worked in a routine manner, that he repeated himself in his works." Harnoncourt--who has articulated many of his ideas in his book The Musical Dialogue--displays his gifts as a cellist in a remarkably probing performance of the Cello Suites (originally recorded in 1965) and in his concertizing for a number of chamber works. For the St. Matthew Passion, you get Harnoncourt's groundbreaking earlier account from 1970, while his 1986 recording of the sublime B Minor Mass is also represented here (the St. John Passion included is Harnoncourt's 1995 acount).

Other artists included are colleague Gustav Leonhardt, whose thoughtful if occasionally dry harpsichord artistry is heard in the Goldberg Variations as well as in the concertos and chamber music. The harpsichord is in fact used throughout in preference to piano for the keyboard works. Ton Koopman (himself the conductor of an ongoing complete cantata series and of the Easter Oratorio included here) performs the organ works, including some newly recorded offerings, while Il Giardino Armonico's well-known high-energy account represents the Brandenburg Concertos. Violinist Thomas Zehetmair is exceptionally compelling in the unaccompanied sonatas and partitas, and the Concentus musicus Wien--again under Harnoncourt--perform a superb Musical Offering that richly repays frequent listening.

The result of Bach 2000 as a whole is an aptly encyclopedic grappling with the infinite legacy of this most compendious of composers, whose works are on one level a summation of all the styles available to him. Bach was once thought to represent a "terminal point" (to use Albert Schweitzer's famous formulation), the end of an era; today he is at least equally recognized as a fertile source of inspiration for composers since. To be sure, individual recordings of particular works will be found to be preferable, and it would be misguided to consider Bach 2000 any kind of "final" or "definitive" word. Instead, it's an indispensable starting point that represents a monumental achievement for our own contemporary understanding of Bach. --Thomas May

Customer Reviews:

Bach is priceless.......2006-11-10

I believe, as another reviewer has stated, Bach's music may be the best ever written. Also, I think the cantatas are not where Bach placed his heart and soul. He was, after all, employed as a canter and in a position he did not wish for, but was forced to take to feed his large family. (I recommend "Bach and the High Baroque" lecture series by TTC.) What really stands out on this collection are all works in volumes 8 and above. Some of these works are hard to find and having them all in this collection and preformed on original instruments is great. Bach is priceless and so then is this collection.

Buy the works you like...........2006-01-11

If you love Bach, which you must if you are looking at this particular item, you probably own a couple of his works already. Perhaps some of them are on the Teldec label. There is nothing wrong with Teldec if you are just getting into "classical" music. You will probably enjoy the music thoroughly. I know I did, as one of the first "classical" releases I bought was on Teldec, and it was Bach. I was amazed how great Bach was. Then my brother showed me the same recording, performed by another group, on another label. It had a lot more passion, and the instrumentalists were obviously of a higher level. Pardon my rambling, but what I'm trying to say is, the recordings found in this boxset are not the "cream of the crop." They are perfectly acceptable, easily listenable renditions of what many consider the greatest music...EVER. Take it from me, someone who has leapt into boxset land one too many times: Save your money, buy the individual albums. Take your time, talk to record store clerks (read Amazon reviews), do your research. If you are lucky enough to have a decent record store around, listen to multiple versions of the same work. No one said you had to buy it all at once. It can take a lifetime to fully realize the potency of this music, so enjoy the discovery as long as possible.

Poor Bach.......2005-11-26

In Antony & Cleopatra, Shakespeare wrote: "I shall see some squeaking Cleopatra boy my greatness...."

I am 99% in favor of original instrument performances, but there are limits. Just imagine if we had the same sort of thing going on with Shakespeare's plays -- men and boys playing all of the women's parts. And if we *really* wanted to be original, they would be squeaking boys "I' th' posture of a whore" (Shakespeare's words). Such performances would knock Monty Python
right out of business.

The Cantatas, which are the lion's share of this collection, are sung by boys, boys, boys. If you want to ruin boy choirs for yourself, then go for it. It might still be a novelty by the fifth CD but by the fiftieth, you will want to throw your &*%$ wig at the squeaking speakers, just as the exasperated Bach famously did with his own wig and his own boy choir. (For which he was reprimanded.)

Does Harnoncourt really, honestly think that Bach would have picked a boy choir if he could have had women? Does anyone seriously believe that Shakespeare would have preferred his parts played by boys instead of women?

If you buy this set, don't buy it for the Cantatas, unless (unlike Bach) you can tolerate immature voices with "wig-tossingly" inconsistent intonation. Hold out for Suzuki or Koopman. Stay away from the Rifkin perfomances, mostly because the recording quality is second and third rate by today's standards. Not that historical performances should be shunned, but you might want to think twice about 60 odd CDs worth of second rate sound.

A Treasure Trove.......2004-03-07

This set is the culmination of several decades of work on the part of the West German record label Teldec (formerly known as Telefunken-Decca). With their early-music subdivision Das Alte Werk (similar to DG's Archiv or Decca's L'Oiseau-Lyre), Teldec have been in the forefront of exploring the world of period instruments and authentic performance practice, with special emphasis on the works of J.S.Bach. The lion's share of recordings here was originally made for Das Alte Werk, with the odd exception here and there licensed from other labels in order to fill in the gaps. The centerpiece of the set is the famous recording of the 199 church cantatas by Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Gustav Leonhardt. If you're not familiar with the cantatas, there's a whole world of drama, color and expression right here waiting for you. You'll also be surprised to learn how many of the "tunes" you know from popular arrangements, like "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and "Sleepers Awake" are actually movements from cantatas. The names of Harnoncourt and Leonhardt pop up again and again; they were both mainstays of the Teldec roster. Leonhardt gives us his 1965 Goldberg Variations on a Dulcken harpsichord whose every tone is like a bell, and Harnoncourt's "home" recording of the Cello Suites (never intended for general release) shows the ferment of a great musical mind. Ton Koopman gives us his provocative and controversial re-thinkings of the organ works, and Thomas Zehetmair's performances of the unaccompanied violin sonatas and partitas are like dramatic scenes spoken by a solo violin. Here are the uniquely bizarre Brandenburg Concertos by Il Giardino Armonico; the rhetorical and transparent performance of the motets conducted by Harnoncourt (perhaps his best-ever recording); Leonhardt's relaxed and smiling versions of the harpsichord concertos; Alice Harnoncourt's tawny, leonine performances of the sonatas for violin and harpsichord; Harnoncourt's chiaroscuro-filled performance of the Christmas Oratorio, and so on. This set is one of the most worthwhile CD buys you could make. You will never be bored with this to dip into over the years.

147 out of 153 ain't bad!.......2001-04-29

Having listened to the complete set, I can confidently recommend it, if you would use a complete set of Bach's works.

If you really like Bach, it is well worth getting. You will read disparaging reviews which will tell you that there are better performances of individual works. But this is a great opportunity for a Bach lover to get very good versions of his entire oeuvre.

In the set of 60 CDs of sacred cantatas, there are about 6 duds, which feature out of tune boy sopranos! If you are not crazy about sacred cantatas, you can buy a set which omits them, which may be advised!

I love the version of the Mass in B minor, though it is very different from our set by Munchinger [which we really enjoy].

The Brandenburgs are great. THe first movement of the first concerto is a knock out! Very brassy and bombastic: quite different from the 3 or 4 other versions I have previously enjoyed.

We are a piano family and have many CDs of Bach keyboard works played on piano [though we also have the Well Tempered Clavier on harpsichord and clavichord] The keyboard performances in the set are all on harpsichord and are lively and very enjoyable.

It takes some getting used to the authentic Baroque flute performances: especially occasional out-of-tuneness. But these are also interesting and musically played.

If you would use a set of all of Bach's extant works, it is a great choice. It is competitively priced and I love the packaging.

Spaced-out bass lines, funky rhythms, and disorienting samples all come together on this futuristic dub excursion. Dubadelic, an enigmatic group of producers and DJs, conspire to create the soundtrack for the new millennium with this album. Naturally, they fail. But on their ambitious mission, they still manage to turn out some gorgeous soundscapes, such as the techno-infused "The Devil Went Down to Forsyth County" and the swirling "Zoned." Rules and expectations should be thrown out the window before auditioning this inspired release. --Aidin Vaziri

live and kickin'.......2004-03-07

It's hard to do a live CD right, but The Schramms nail it. This double disc, recorded in Europe, offers the great feel of a live show and quality of sound. With selections from each of their previous albums, it's a fine introduction for those who are unfamiliar with The Schramms' literate roots rock and an excellent souvenir for fans of the group. Not only does he write engaging songs, but Dave Schramm is a guitarist to be reckoned with.
