Product Description
15 tracks of great Latino Hi p Hop. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
Please buy it.
The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).
This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.
I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.
Not a word. Then I read the review on allmusic and heard the 30 second samples.
Amazing! How did this get ignored back in 1967 or 1968?
It's very very good. Very Beatle-esque but not in a bad way.
It's also a tad folky or Byrds-ish which is a plus!
Emmitt Rhodes was born in Hawthorne, CA according to allmusic.com. While I've heard British groups sound American this is the most British I've ever heard an American Group sound.
Track 2 features backwards and sped up guitars. Track 12 features fuzzed out guitars.
Remember that Utopia album, Deface The Music? It was Todd Rundgren doing the Beatles.
Remember the Rutles and how Beatles-like they sounded?
This band beats both of them hands down. Of course they have an advantage. They're not writing pun-filled opposite titled tracks like Utopia and the Rutles did.
I hear elements of folk: think Peter, Paul and Mary but in a real good way. There's California Pop: imagine the best Mamas and Papas tracks but just the guys on vocals.
The first 12 tracks represent the one album The Merry-Go-Round recorded. The next batch is an Emmitt Rhodes solo album with session men.
The tone of the music changes from the Beatle-esque pop to a collage of styles but Mr. Rhodes song writing is very solid.
Track 14 reminds me of Eric Carmen. Track 18 starts out like a lost Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds a-side.
Tracks 26-29 are from Merry-Go Round singles and "Listen, Listen" really rocks out. The guitars really ring loud. I love this song.
As a hidden bonus during track 29 the band starts doing "California Girls" [not Good Vibrations] with Herb Alpert on trumpet at 2:35 in.
None of this is bad.
You will listen to this over and over. It's a repeat disc.
A rare find these days.
I haven't described every song. I want you to discover them on your own. Enjoy.
This is a great re-issue of a lost treasure.
The debut album shows the band to have merged its West Coast background (Palace Guard, Leaves, Grass Roots) with a substantial British Invasion influence (Beatles, Badfinger, Zombies). There's also a helping of the ornate baroque-rock brought to the charts by Michael Brown and the Left Banke. These influences stayed with Rhodes as the band members peeled off and left him to record solo sides with session players from the Wrecking Crew. Unsurprisingly, the later sides show influence of later Beatles work - particularly the Magical Mystery Tour era Paul McCartney.
The Merry Go Round's album is superb, from the well-known "Live" (covered popularly by The Bangles) and the brilliantly produced follow-up "Time Will Show the Wiser" (covered by Fairport Convention on their own debut) to the minor-key "You're a Very Lovely Woman" (covered by Linda Ronstadt in 1971). Rhodes' songs were more than good enough to garner covers by other artists, they convinced his label to let he and the band write their entire debut album. His writing became increasingly sophisticated as he recorded his contractual obligation follow-up for A&M, and though the session players give the album a less organic quality, their playing is top-notch. This is a must-have for Emitt Rhodes fans, as well as anyone who loves late-60s/early-70s West Coast pop-rock. [2005 redtunictroll at hotmail dot com]
The beats are fantastic bringing that Ranchero/latin sound with great applomb while using funky westcoast and new york scratch cuts to great effect.
The rhyming is first rate combining english and spanish with their own unique styles.
This album comes highly recommended and it deserves to be in every hip hop owners collection, I introduced this group to my friends and they are all big fans not to mention I got my friend to play Return of the Tres when he was djaying at his university and it became a crowd favourate with constant requests. Get this album you owe it to yourself.
How pleasantly I was surprised when I heard this subsequent album, "Merry Go Round." What a world a difference! This was the album I was expecting the first time around...and it's even better than those expectations! The music is fascinating, the rapping is interesting, and there is very little profanity (something hard to find on a rap album these days!).
This album uses Latin influences much more than the first one, with "Return Of The Tres" and "Que Vuelva" being my favorites, but I like all the Latin influences musically as well as the Spanglish rapping. This is Southwest U.S. Latin sound too, not that Caribbean stuff that makes it big on the pop charts.
But as much as I like the Latin sounds, these guys shine this time around even when they're not using any sound that is distinctly Latin. "The Kind" is a rap over a sample of some killer classical music. "No Sense" is a pensive track over quiet acoustic guitars. And other sounds I just can't categorize very easily; listen to the samples of "Station Thirteen," "Feel Good," and "Midnite Spin" to get a taste of the non-Latin sounds from this album.
This album has a great variety of moods--from the street-dance sound of "Station Thirteen" to the pinata-party dance sound of "Return of the Tres," from the romantic singing of Michelle on "Que Vuelva" to the dark look at life in "No Sense," there is plenty of variety here to keep the album fresh.
I believe this will be one of my favorite rap albums of all time (and currently, the only totally rap album I like better is Urban D's "The Tranzlation"). It only gets 4 stars for one reason because I'm very conservative about giving out 5 star ratings; the weakness comes from the last three or four songs on the album which don't hold up quite as well as the rest. But that's a minor complaint. This is truly an excellent album.
"Looney Tunes: Back in Action" is only my third Jerry soundtrack. (Others include "Star Trek: Nemesis" and "Damien: Omen II"). I have heard other Jerry scores, but I think that the "Tunes" soundtrack is Jerry's most high-energetic score in a long time. From the electric guitar to the very enjoyable western theme in "The Bad Guys" and "Car Trouble", I'm sure that any Jerry or Looney Tunes fan will enjoy this soundtrack.
Jerry uses famous Looney Tunes themes from Carl Stalling, Cliff Friend and Dave Franklin (Track 1,near the end of 10 and track 21). Along with Jerry's own nifty themes.
I play the guitar, my guitar teacher asked me to bring in the soundtrack. He listened to my two most favorite tracks (8 and 9)and wrote the chords for the guitar used in the background for the western theme. Anyways, in "Out of the Bag" Jerry's theme for "Gremlins" makes a cameo at the end of the track. In "Dead Duck Walking" Jerry uses his "Back in Action" theme (in track 2 used with the electric guitar)in full reprise in a more sarcastic energetic way. At the end of the track is a little scary (not really but...yeah...) surprise. In the movie, this cue was used when the batmobile hit the Warner Bros water tower and ...
All I have to say is, this is one neat soundtrack. Though, I wish Verse put more on it! And, due to late editing of the film, Jerry couldn't finish the rest of his Looney Tunes score, so John Debney scored 16 minutes for the rest of the film.
Fav tracks: 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and finally 13 LOL!

a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15
Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

A Happy Accident for me: The Merry-Go-Round!.......2006-07-15
Not a word. Then I read the review on allmusic and heard the 30 second samples.
Amazing! How did this get ignored back in 1967 or 1968?
It's very very good. Very Beatle-esque but not in a bad way.
It's also a tad folky or Byrds-ish which is a plus!
Emmitt Rhodes was born in Hawthorne, CA according to allmusic.com. While I've heard British groups sound American this is the most British I've ever heard an American Group sound.
Track 2 features backwards and sped up guitars. Track 12 features fuzzed out guitars.
Remember that Utopia album, Deface The Music? It was Todd Rundgren doing the Beatles.
Remember the Rutles and how Beatles-like they sounded?
This band beats both of them hands down. Of course they have an advantage. They're not writing pun-filled opposite titled tracks like Utopia and the Rutles did.
I hear elements of folk: think Peter, Paul and Mary but in a real good way. There's California Pop: imagine the best Mamas and Papas tracks but just the guys on vocals.
The first 12 tracks represent the one album The Merry-Go-Round recorded. The next batch is an Emmitt Rhodes solo album with session men.
The tone of the music changes from the Beatle-esque pop to a collage of styles but Mr. Rhodes song writing is very solid.
Track 14 reminds me of Eric Carmen. Track 18 starts out like a lost Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds a-side.
Tracks 26-29 are from Merry-Go Round singles and "Listen, Listen" really rocks out. The guitars really ring loud. I love this song.
As a hidden bonus during track 29 the band starts doing "California Girls" [not Good Vibrations] with Herb Alpert on trumpet at 2:35 in.
None of this is bad.
You will listen to this over and over. It's a repeat disc.
A rare find these days.
I haven't described every song. I want you to discover them on your own. Enjoy.
This is a great re-issue of a lost treasure.
Complete collection of '60s Brit-influenced baroque-folk-rock.......2005-12-22
The debut album shows the band to have merged its West Coast background (Palace Guard, Leaves, Grass Roots) with a substantial British Invasion influence (Beatles, Badfinger, Zombies). There's also a helping of the ornate baroque-rock brought to the charts by Michael Brown and the Left Banke. These influences stayed with Rhodes as the band members peeled off and left him to record solo sides with session players from the Wrecking Crew. Unsurprisingly, the later sides show influence of later Beatles work - particularly the Magical Mystery Tour era Paul McCartney.
The Merry Go Round's album is superb, from the well-known "Live" (covered popularly by The Bangles) and the brilliantly produced follow-up "Time Will Show the Wiser" (covered by Fairport Convention on their own debut) to the minor-key "You're a Very Lovely Woman" (covered by Linda Ronstadt in 1971). Rhodes' songs were more than good enough to garner covers by other artists, they convinced his label to let he and the band write their entire debut album. His writing became increasingly sophisticated as he recorded his contractual obligation follow-up for A&M, and though the session players give the album a less organic quality, their playing is top-notch. This is a must-have for Emitt Rhodes fans, as well as anyone who loves late-60s/early-70s West Coast pop-rock. [2005 redtunictroll at hotmail dot com]

THE RETURN OF A CLASSIC GROUP.......2005-11-03
The beats are fantastic bringing that Ranchero/latin sound with great applomb while using funky westcoast and new york scratch cuts to great effect.
The rhyming is first rate combining english and spanish with their own unique styles.
This album comes highly recommended and it deserves to be in every hip hop owners collection, I introduced this group to my friends and they are all big fans not to mention I got my friend to play Return of the Tres when he was djaying at his university and it became a crowd favourate with constant requests. Get this album you owe it to yourself.
BEST RAP BAND EVER.......................................2003-09-19
Merry go Round.......2002-08-21
This will be one of my favorite rap albums of all time.......2002-07-09
How pleasantly I was surprised when I heard this subsequent album, "Merry Go Round." What a world a difference! This was the album I was expecting the first time around...and it's even better than those expectations! The music is fascinating, the rapping is interesting, and there is very little profanity (something hard to find on a rap album these days!).
This album uses Latin influences much more than the first one, with "Return Of The Tres" and "Que Vuelva" being my favorites, but I like all the Latin influences musically as well as the Spanglish rapping. This is Southwest U.S. Latin sound too, not that Caribbean stuff that makes it big on the pop charts.
But as much as I like the Latin sounds, these guys shine this time around even when they're not using any sound that is distinctly Latin. "The Kind" is a rap over a sample of some killer classical music. "No Sense" is a pensive track over quiet acoustic guitars. And other sounds I just can't categorize very easily; listen to the samples of "Station Thirteen," "Feel Good," and "Midnite Spin" to get a taste of the non-Latin sounds from this album.
This album has a great variety of moods--from the street-dance sound of "Station Thirteen" to the pinata-party dance sound of "Return of the Tres," from the romantic singing of Michelle on "Que Vuelva" to the dark look at life in "No Sense," there is plenty of variety here to keep the album fresh.
I believe this will be one of my favorite rap albums of all time (and currently, the only totally rap album I like better is Urban D's "The Tranzlation"). It only gets 4 stars for one reason because I'm very conservative about giving out 5 star ratings; the weakness comes from the last three or four songs on the album which don't hold up quite as well as the rest. But that's a minor complaint. This is truly an excellent album.

Freddy Cole is a songwriter's dream, able to impart his own distinct personality to a song while remaining faithful to its lyric and melody. He surrounds a song with the warm presence of his voice, but within that breathy glow, he's capable of the subtlest inflection, from irony to wary satisfaction and the most wistful sense of loss. He's also able to swing masterfully at medium tempos, as he does on "I Remember You" and the relaxed rendition of "It's Impossible." While Cole can stamp his own identity on a familiar tune, he can also bring out the best in an unexpected song. "Merry-Go-Round," by the team of Bobby Scott and Herb Martin, stands out here, as does a medley of lesser-known songs recorded by Cole's brother Nat, "I Realize Now" and "I Miss You So." The settings are always apt, whether it's Cole's own piano and rhythm section contributing to the intimacy of "Forgive My Heart" and the ebullient swing of Cole Porter's "You're Sensational," or Cole's ceding the piano chair to Cedar Walton, adding a horn section, and sharing several songs with distinguished soloists. Trombonist Steve Davis adds a crisp solo to "Watching You, Watching Me," a Bill Withers song that readily adapts itself to the light-bop groove, and tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander complements Cole's voice with some thoughtful fills on "It's Impossible."

Jerry gone wild! (from a 15 year old Jerry fan!).......2004-03-11
"Looney Tunes: Back in Action" is only my third Jerry soundtrack. (Others include "Star Trek: Nemesis" and "Damien: Omen II"). I have heard other Jerry scores, but I think that the "Tunes" soundtrack is Jerry's most high-energetic score in a long time. From the electric guitar to the very enjoyable western theme in "The Bad Guys" and "Car Trouble", I'm sure that any Jerry or Looney Tunes fan will enjoy this soundtrack.
Jerry uses famous Looney Tunes themes from Carl Stalling, Cliff Friend and Dave Franklin (Track 1,near the end of 10 and track 21). Along with Jerry's own nifty themes.
I play the guitar, my guitar teacher asked me to bring in the soundtrack. He listened to my two most favorite tracks (8 and 9)and wrote the chords for the guitar used in the background for the western theme. Anyways, in "Out of the Bag" Jerry's theme for "Gremlins" makes a cameo at the end of the track. In "Dead Duck Walking" Jerry uses his "Back in Action" theme (in track 2 used with the electric guitar)in full reprise in a more sarcastic energetic way. At the end of the track is a little scary (not really but...yeah...) surprise. In the movie, this cue was used when the batmobile hit the Warner Bros water tower and ...
All I have to say is, this is one neat soundtrack. Though, I wish Verse put more on it! And, due to late editing of the film, Jerry couldn't finish the rest of his Looney Tunes score, so John Debney scored 16 minutes for the rest of the film.
Fav tracks: 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and finally 13 LOL!
Great stuff, but incomplete........2004-02-22
This is Goldsmith's tenth collaboration with director Joe Dante (they've done just about everything together) and while it's not the strongest score for a Joe Dante movie it's definitely a whole load of fun. Gracefully blending Carl Stalling's signature Looney Tunes music with light-hearted cues of various natures (and even including a surprise cameo by the awesome Gremlins theme in track 5 'Out of the Bag') the whole album makes for pleasant if shallow listening.
But there are only 37 minutes worth of music on this CD. Why? Because of Jerry Goldsmith's hectic work schedule he had to leave the scoring sessions two weeks early and John Debney stepped in to replace him with some of his own material to fill the rest of the movie (tho I personally think Bruce Broughton would have been a wiser choice). None of Debney's music is featured on this CD.
Curiously (much like his Total Recall CD) there is some kind of jingle stuck on the end of the last track. I don't know what it is but it's a cute bonus.
For all Goldsmith and Looney Tunes fans. It's just a shame it isn't longer.
Funny faces and crazy impressions.......2003-12-09
And sure enough, even though the length of the score is below average, it will wear you down with its absolutely crazy and unusual orchestrations. While still clearly 'cartoonish', Goldsmith's percussion and interwoven use of the electric guitar takes Loony Tunes music one step closer to adulthood. But then: a Jim Carry / Mike Myers sort of adulthood, with an array of funny faces and goofed up impressions.
Because the true appeal of this record is not the traditional one of filmscores - themes, build-ups and great narrative - rather it is the library of nods and winks of which it consist.
The obvious few classic Looney Tunes themes aside, I could discern references to Ray Evans' & Jay Livinston's "Bonanza", Monty Norman's "James Bond", Henry Mancini's "Pink Panther", Camille Saint-Saëns' "Carnaval des Animaux" and "Danse Macabre", Goldsmith's own "Gremlins" and...
I am certain there's an entire other list of titles that I'm missing. Get this record and try to single them out for yourself. If you go out and buy this, you will get yourself one of the busiest, craziest and in that sense most masterful Goldsmith records in years.
This one gets four stars
