This Is Where I Came In [Enhanced]

Amazon.com
The old adage that says you can't go home again rings especially true for artists and musicians attempting to return to their artistic roots. Ironically, it's also what makes the Bee Gees' journey back to their '60s sensibilities feel like a gratifying, if unassuming, triumph. Indeed, while the songs here are possessed of the innate soulfulness and melodic flair familiar from their youth, they've wisely allowed disparate musical elements from their dizzying three-decade-plus career to season this collection, giving it a satisfying pan-generational sense that's as rewarding as it is rare. The title track sets the tone, with the brothers trading verses against a spare acoustic guitar and drum-kit backdrop. It's a bracing reminder that the Gibb brothers' locked-in harmony remains one of pop's enduring sonic archetypes. While they've never completely shaken the cultural stereotyping of their late '70s megaplatinum doses of disco fever, there are few remnants of it here, save for the insistent drum loop. Given their longevity and pervasive insider influence, it's sometimes a historical riddle to figure out who's influencing whom, from the distinct ELO-isms of Robin's "She Keeps on Coming" and Maurice's "Man in the Middle" to Barry's singular balladry on "Loose Talk Costs Lives." And lest anyone think it's strictly a '60s-'70s love fest, the Gibbs toss in a good-natured nod to Tin-Pan Alley ("Technicolor Dreams") and even a spirited, if somewhat ham-handed, post-modern romp ("Voice in the Wilderness"). More than anything, it's a record that argues that home is but a state of mind, and that the Bee Gees have learned more than a few things on the way back. --Jerry McCulley

Could have been much better if...........2005-08-20

"TIWICI" was the last Bee Gees' album which shows the brother Gibbs' weaknesses since their superior "Still Waters" in 1997.This album sounds so much like "Barry Gibb and the band", "Robin Gibb and the band" and "Maurice Gibb and the band", not the Bee Gees in the whole since the brothers chose to record separately. And this is the only album since "Mr. Natural" 1974 that lacks Barry's trademark falsetto.
1/ This Is Where I Came In: One of my most favorite Gibb's song ever. Maurice's rhythm guitar is excellent. Quite a strange song for a usual Bee Gees' ear but yet perfect (5/5).
2/ She Keeps On Coming: Another of my favorite from this album. Back to the 60's rock root with some modern touch. Robin sounds so much unlike himself. At first, I thought it was Maurice on vocal. Love the arrangement and the erotic lyrics. (4.5/5)
3/ Sacred Truth: Written for the Backstreet Boys and that's why it don't sound as good as a true Bee Gees song even though Barry Gibb's vocal is brilliant. The verses are quite good, however the chorus is too "boy-band-ish" to be a good Bee Gees song. (3.5/5)
4/ Wedding Day: Too catchy to be regarded as a hit, but I'll have it on my wedding since I'm a big fan of the Bee Gees. (3/5)
5/ Man in the Middle: Nice job, Mo. Love the lyrics. My girlfriend loves it even though she's not a Bee Gees fan. (4/5)
6/ Deja Vu: Quite a catchy song even though I'm not quite sure what the lyrics about. Seems to be another boy band-ish song. The Bee Gees sure can do better than this.(3/5)
7/ Technicolor Dreams: My favorite. A fun song even out of style. I think Barry loves the 40's music. But not sure why he whispered " Kiss my ass" before the song. (5/5)
8/ Walking on Air: Another Mo's effort, sound so much like "Omega Man", nothing special except for the Beach Boys blending harmony.(3.5/5)
9/ Loose Talk Cost Live: Many people like this song, I don't even though it's a good ballad. Barry's voice sounds a bit creepy here.(3/5)
10/ Embrace:I really dislike this song. The Euro-dance pop pattern freaks me out. Why Robin? It was so out of date and cheap. Try something better. (2/5)
11/ An Extra Mile: Rumors had it the brothers wrote this song for Olympic Sydney 1998 which sounds so much unlike an Olympic song. Not one of my favorite anyway. But still a good song. (3/5)
12/ Voice of the Wilderness: Lyrically too long to be a rock song. Need more guitar solos and shorter verse. (3/5)
For a die-hard Bee Gees' fan, this album is a must. But for those who don't like boy band music, go for "Still Waters" or "One" instead to appreciate the magic of the Gibb's music.

Sorry, Last One.......2004-07-09

The Bee Gees released this successful album in 2001 with 5 hit songs including This Is Where I Came In, She Keeps On Coming, Sacred Trust, Man in the Middle, and Wedding Day. This last album was also performed in the live concert Live By Request. Although Maurice passed away in 2003 without finishing their next studio work, but we will still remember this musician's talent.
Surely, this LP showed that the Bee Gees is capable of writing and singing different styles of songs. Technicolor Dreams showed the slow ballad, Voice in the Wilderness showed a strong rock, Embrace showed a strong jazz feeling.
Barry and Robin Gibb, keep it on!

Different Times, Different Bee Gees.......2004-06-27

For all of the long time Bee Gees fans who did not like this album, Tough. They had to change with the times, and I think that this album rocks. I have listened to it at least one hundred times, I am not kidding, it was mistakenly the only music I took on a trip to colorado, boy was that a long drive! Anyway, I ended up Really liking this album after that trip, although I must admit that I don't listen to it all that much anymore. Can you really blame me??? Anyway, the title track is the real attention getter, but the song that really does it for me is Man in the Middle. Wow, if there is a song that describes me, that is the one. I admit, some of the love songs are a bit sappy, but hey, they are LOVE SONGS and they are Supposed to be sappy! Technicolor dreams is an awesome song, and so is voice in the wilderness. This is not your typical Bee Gees album. I own their Greatest Hits collection too, and it is great. But, the music has to change with the times, and I think tha they did a fantastic job. By the way, did I mention that Man in the Middle is an Awesome Song?

Too bad it was their last.......2004-01-22

A great CD for a fan or anyone who remembers the early Bee Gees recordings. I was blown away by the two songs with Maurice as lead. He had a wonderful voice, though not distinctive as Robin's or Barry's, but with clearer vocals than either of them. From the title track that starts it off, to "A Voice In The Wilderness", this collection leaves you with a sense that this trio had more songs in them. Knowing it is the last music that they will ever make gives more meaning to this CD. Robin has returned to England at last report, and is in the studio again. But, Barry has gone into seclusion after saying that the Bee Gees are no more. To conclude, This is a CD well worth any price. Any fan of the Bee Gees will feel it inside while listening to their final songs.

They went out with a bang!.......2003-12-22

The last Bee Gees album may be their best. There are a couple of weak tracks, but the majority is top noch. And as an added bonus, Maurice(my favorite singer and person of the three) sings lead on two songs on here! That's two as in 2! As in TWO! As in...well you get the idea. Here's my song by song analysis:

1. This Is Where I Came In. 5/5 Stars. This songs starts the album off well, with an interesting acoustic sound. This what Barry meant by "Back to the Basics." It's at a faster pace than their earlier work, but it's a good cut none the less.

2. She Keeps On Coming. 5/5 Stars. This started off as my favorite song on the album. But it slipped after I heard more of the album. Still, it's a great tempo. You would think that this was written by The Rolling Stones.

3. Sacred Trust. 3/5 Stars. This is the weekest song on the first half of the album. It's a pretty ballad, but it could have been a lot better.

4. Wedding Day 5/5 Stars. I didn't like this song at first but it quickly grew on me when I heard Barry and Robin's interplay. One of their finest.

5. Man In The Middle 5/5 Stars. This is first song Maurice sings. It's a great autobiographical track especially the chorus. Concert set-up wise, Robin would be the obvious choice to sing this one, but he can't. This is Maurice's song.

6. Deja Vu. 3/5 Stars. This Robin-Led Song had potential but it gets repetitive after a while. Also there was a strange rap going on at the end. What's up with that? There is a bonus:At the end of the song you can hear the crew talking if you listen close.

7. Technicoulor Dreams:1/5 Stars. My least favorite track on the album. It sounds like a bad show tune based on Barry's singing. The most annoying part is the clarinent. Just like on Deja Vu, you can hear the crew talking at the beginning of the song. The only good thing about it is that it makes a good intro to Walking On Air.

8. Walking On Air: 5/5 Stars. My favorite song on the album. The synthesizers, the tempo, the drum programming, the lyrics, the guitars, and of course, Maurice's incredible voice.

9. Loose Talk Costs Lives: 3/5 Stars. An average ballad. C'Mon Barry! You can do better!

10. Embrace. 5/5 Stars. I just love the up-beat tempo on this one. Reminds me a bit of For Whom the Bell Tolls.

11. The Extra Mile. 4/5 Stars. Good Orchastra feel, but the lack of 3-part-harmony ruins it.

12. Voice In The Wilderness. 4/5 Stars. A great rocker to end the album, and consequently one of the greatest bands that ever lived.

Album Description

Brothers Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb made musical history for close to four decades with their magnificent vocal harmonies and ever-evolving styles. Masters of orchestral pop, blue-eyed soul and R&B, dazzling dance grooves, and disco fever alike—as well as uniquely blended hybrids of all these genres and more—the Bee Gees delivered album classics and top chart hits throughout their enduring career. On this newly remastered edition, the amazing genetics of their harmonies shine, as does the ongoing artistic evolution that's made them one of contemporary music's most successful and legendary acts.

The Bee Gees' Swan Song.......2007-04-09

I feel that this is one of the best albums the Bee Gees ever did. Sure, it has a few weak spots, as all of their albums do, but overall it's the album some of us always wished and knew they could do. The orchestration is toned down or non-existent as opposed to almost everything in the first phase of their career and the disco tendencies are almost completely gone as well. These are outstanding pop songs in the tradition of the Beatles--great harmonies, inventive arrangements. Nobody planned Maurice's departure but if they had planned to close up shop altogether, this would serve as a very fitting finale and shows what these fellows were capable of doing when they wanted. Of course, this is only a subjective reflection of my tastes. Others may prefer the disco Bee Gees or the ballad Bee Gees. This just happens to include many songs in styles that I prefer personally.

Excellent Album.......2007-03-20

I think one of the wonderful things about this album is the diverse nature of the material that they cover. Yes the voices sound like the bee gees but they don't allow themselves to stuck in a stylistic rut.

The Maturation Of The Bee Gees!.......2003-06-28

At long last, the Brothers Gibb have crafted an album that surpasses all their earlier efforts. The sound is more basic (less synthesizer) and more mature (simplifying all their talents). The range is varied, but always maintains an upbeat, rock filled tempo. "She Keeps On Coming" and "Voice In The Wilderness" are amazing surprises of excellent R & B rock. Is this the Bee Gees? Even the ballads are mainstream upbeat, such as, "Wedding Day", "Embrace" and the oddly named, "Loose Talk, Costs Lives". Although, the title track has been chosen as the first single (in the rest of the World), any track could make it, (save for "Technicolor Dreams", which is a pleasant, but odd novelty song). Maurice even tops himself with the Beach Boys styled "Man In The Middle" and "Walking On Air". There are lots of surprises here and there is absolutely no way to try and pick which songs will be chosen for air-play. They are all that good. It doesn't hurt to go out of the way to get the extra songs on this package, such as the lovely ballad, "Just In Case" and the power song, "Promise The Earth".

To Import or Not To Import.......2001-08-05

This is a first-rate Bee Gees' CD, full of energetic, feel-good music. Pop ballads are interspersed with some very catchy up-tempo tracks; the result is a well-crafted album that is, in my opinion, one of their best ever.

This review is specifically directed towards the two bonus tracks included on the import version. Both are gorgeous songs and well worth having, particularly if you're a fan of Robin's vocals. "Promise the Earth" offers a top-notch performance by Robin of a beautifully-crafted song. It has the strongest euro-pop beat on the album. In short, it's high energy and it's phenomenal! "Just in Case" is a lovely ballad. For those who've seen the Keppel Road video, this is the work-in-progress that was showcased there. Robin sings the verse, and Barry is the dominant voice on the chorus. The song turned out to be far more beautiful than I could've imagined.

These two tracks (together with "Embrace," "Deja Vu," "Sacred Trust" and "Wedding Day") are my favourites on a CD that is full of great songs. If you like what you hear on the sample tracks, you'll not be disappointed with this CD. Get it and you'll see why these three brothers are among the best songwriters and performers of the 20th century!

Brothers Gibb.......2001-07-12

They have done it again! I really liked this cd! To me they are like a fine wine, they get better with age! I hope they continue to put out execellent cd's like this one! Some say the Bee Gees are a thing of the past, I think they should hear the future!

Bee Gees in a new decade.......2001-06-06

This album is absolutely awe inspiring. Their 1981 album "living Eyes" has been my favourite for some time now, and so this album has been quite welcomed to my machine. It has simlar background harmonies, as well as a Renaissance art-like feel, just like the LE album which came right in the heart of Wew Wave and theatrics in pop. TIWICI starts of with the title track, which i thought was too sugarine to kick start this seriously well crafted album. Nevertheless By track 2 you realise the variety of this album. Track 1 would be my only criticism. It has a pop feel with commercial bluesy guitar overtones in the chorus. 2 repetitive!If they need a hit they picked the wrong song (as per usual). Track 2 on the other hand is great rock and funk, like Prince, moving the stiffest of feet, in a pumping rhythm, and pulsating bass.Rob's vocals prove to be valuable for any R&B/hip-hop artist's work in the future. "Sacred Trust" needs to be put on a hit teeny flick, with Drew Barrymore, and this will be number 1 in more countries than my dog has flees! ST is a Back Street Boys genre song. Great for some care-free romance! Ooh YEAH! Weddind Day is a more serious love ballad, crafted a la Living Eyes. I thought "Paradise" from LE was identical in its superb organic arrangement as Wedding Day. It could not have been produced to sound more real.its the BEST. It puts the whole Still Waters production to shame. Deja Vu on the other hand is a radio friendly song, and should be an automatic hit. It has some great Rock guitars and voice overdubs, and would also do well in a movie marketed for teenagers. Finally there's Walking On Air. It is Brian Wilson inspired. It creates a surreal feel from its incredibly sweet melody in the verse. Mo does the whole thing himself, even though it sounds like a big team effort (a la Brian!). You will have this song on repeat I assure you!WARNING: SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES. Pure Pop Paradise! This is one of the top 5 BG albums! Listen to it for yourself!

Ageless Sound.......2001-05-24

This is where I came in is a primo cd. I haven't listened to the Bee Gees in about 20 years. After catching A&E's One Night Only, I ordered this CD. This is one of the best CD's I own. It has quickly become one of my favorites. My kids like it too. The Bee Gees' music is ageless. Everyone remembers them and kids are experiencing quality music and song writing at a time when most groups are re-recording anything they can pay copyrights for. They are an amazing group and this CD is incredible. The Wedding Day song makes me want to get married all over again just to have it played at my wedding. It's a shame that the Bee Gees aren't more popular in the US market. The States are missing out on one of musics classic groups.

The Maturation Of The Bee Gees!.......2003-06-28

At long last, the Brothers Gibb have crafted an album that surpasses all their earlier efforts. The sound is more basic (less synthesizer) and more mature (simplifying all their talents). The range is varied, but always maintains an upbeat, rock filled tempo. "She Keeps On Coming" and "Voice In The Wilderness" are amazing surprises of excellent R & B rock. Is this the Bee Gees? Even the ballads are mainstream upbeat, such as, "Wedding Day", "Embrace" and the oddly named, "Loose Talk, Costs Lives". Although, the title track has been chosen as the first single (in the rest of the World), any track could make it, (save for "Technicolor Dreams", which is a pleasant, but odd novelty song). Maurice even tops himself with the Beach Boys styled "Man In The Middle" and "Walking On Air". There are lots of surprises here and there is absolutely no way to try and pick which songs will be chosen for air-play. They are all that good. It doesn't hurt to go out of the way to get the extra songs on this package, such as the lovely ballad, "Just In Case" and the power song, "Promise The Earth".

True Sweethearts.......2000-10-16

This CD offers some of Jeanette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy's most beloved songs from their movies. Their natural chemistry is apparent in songs like "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life" and their individual talents are shown in the solos that they sing. These two legendary performers draw the audience into their songs and each is a special memory of the movie that it came from. Macdonald and Eddy were made to sing together. It is surprising that they were not sweethearts off screen after hearing their voices and seeing their movies. Their passion and tenderness towards each other is something out of a fairy tale. This CD has all the fun, romance, and innocence that was epitomized in their movies. It is a true treasure and a favorite in my music library.

Product Description

Jason Kao Hwang (b. 1957) is a highly respected improviser who also has a number of compositions and film scores to his credit. The Floating Box is a major contemporary work that gives voice not only to the Asian immigrant experience in America in particular but also to the immigrant experience in general. With the collaboration of librettist Catherine Filloux, The Floating Box is an original story inspired by the oral histories of Chinese-Americans living in Chinatown. The story of Eva/Yee-Wa, a young Chinese-American woman living with her mother, is the story of many diasporic peoples who have sought a better life in new, often harsh surroundings. The poetry of Filloux’s libretto fuses perfectly with Hwang’s eclectic score, beautifully capturing the complex, intimate relationships among these three characters. The opera employs both Chinese and Western instruments in an ensemble of eight players: piccolo/flute/alto flute; Bb clarinet/bass clarinet; vibraphone; pipa (Chinese lute); accordion; percussion, including Tibetan chimes and singing bowls, whirling air tubes, Chinese tom toms, and a Buddhist fan drum; erhu/gaohu/zhonghu (a family of two-stringed Chinese violins categorized as huqin); and cello. In Hwang’s skilled hands, these instruments together forge a rich amalgam of sound—in the composer’s words, “complex suspensions rather than homogenous solutions.” The precision with which Hwang mines each instrument’s sonic possibilities and the imaginative ways with which he draws upon subsets of the full ensemble result in a vibrant musical narrative that propels the drama forward to its conclusion. The kaleidoscopic range of musical styles employed--atonality, blues, Broadway, Chinese opera, chromaticism, impressionism, jazz, pop--establishes The Floating Box as the work of an artist who is completely comfortable bridging multiple musical worlds.
