Well its Dispatch........2007-07-23

Before I begin I might mention that this band is by far my favorite band -ever. Why? Because every song they write is good and their songwriting skills are surpassingly diverse (as all three members write songs.) This album especially reflects that diversity as it encompasses that chill acoustic feel of their first album (Silent Steeples) along with the reggae feel of songs like Bats in the Belfry from their 2nd album (Bang Bang). This album adds along to it some straight rock and roll and funk with songs like Time Served that just scream i just listend to a Rage album 50 times in a row. Its quite simply endless good music. Buy it and enjoy.

One of the best cds ever.......2007-06-15

This happens to be the record that each of the band members wanted to make ever since they were youngsters, by their own words. This band gives you such a look into their lives through their dvds that you feel like you know them. They are the kind of band that comes along once in a lifetime, and I'm glad I found them. This cd is superb from start to finish and I like that they covered a song from Rage Against The Machine, on this one and did it better than the original. I can't believe how awesome these guys are in EVERY cd/dvd that they did. As far as I know they are the only ones who have given 100% of their proceeds to their favorite charities from some shows, and will do so again in july at their Madison Square Garden shows. There is just magic when these guys get together. As they each have their own solo bands now, Dispatch remains one of the best bands I EVER heard, and I am among those who wish they would get back together again. If you can get to the Garden this summer, be sure to, as this show will be, the be all and end all of all of their shows, as they have sold out the Garden in a few hours for 3 shows in a row this summer. They also gave a FREE concert in Mass. and 110,000 people came. People just love this band , and I among them. I can't praise them highly enough. Leave this one in the player also!

Underrated.......2006-12-11

For some reason, people do not view this as an essential Dispatch recording. This may be because of its evolved sounds, or simply because there is something a little different, but i can assure you that it is an amazing cd and that it is a great addition to any Dispatch fan. Once you weed through all of the instrumentals and jams that are present on this cd, some great dispatch songs emerge, ones that will yeild repeated listenes, and even enter some top fives.

Hidden away on this cd are the great tracks:
Open Up
Time Served
Lightning
Prince of Spades
Headlights
Gone(My favorite Dispatch Song)

Although this cd is not primarily acoustic like the previous two, this cd provides listen to the direction the band may have taken if they had stayed together longer. There is so much raw energy here, and is something no dispatch fan should miss out on. If you are just starting out, try Bang Bang as your introduction to Dispatch

Very good, but a bit strange.......2005-01-30

"Who Are We Living For?" is definitely Dispatch's most unique album. The style of music seems to change with evey track. There are many two minute instrumental interludes scattered throughout the CD that are fun at times but are pretty pointless for the most part. Once you sort through all the nonsense, however, you'll find that there's some really cool stuff on this album. "Time Served" "Prince of Spades" and "Headlights" are just some of the many good songs that are on here. The rhythm section is as tight as ever and the instrumental work seems to be emphasized just as much, if not more, than the vocals. This is very unusual for a Dispatch album, but most fans should appreciate it.

Finally a Messiah with fervor!.......2005-10-20

I've hunted a thrilling performance of The Messiah through 240 versions so far. This is the best I've found. Some are self-conscious, dutifully singing as instructed. Some are almost childish in their lilt. Some are overblown with so much bombast that you can barely hear the heart of the music. Some are concentrated on faithfulness to the original instruments. If you want a performance that will make you shiver with the power and joy of the music, this is the one. The singers are singing about GLORY. They sound as if they are ecstatic. The musicians are at one with the music and they create a virtual cathedral wherever this CD is played, just close your eyes. Or, let your own imagery, be it celestial, or of great oceans...carry you away.

Great recording!.......2003-09-22

There are so many performances of the Messiah out there that it is very difficult to point to a difinative one, but I'd put this in the catagory of the "very good" ones. As other reviewers have said, every performance is different and has its own character. Each has stronger and weaker points. Here the conductor and musicians have made good, solid musical choices. There is an amazing attention to detail which is not so obvious the first listen through but which makes the piece shine. The tempos seem to be right on, and there is no frivolous over-embellishment by the soloists. There is no attempt to be showey. The dramatic dynamics in the first section of the overture are interesting, but seem to work after you hear it a few times. This performance also includes sections which are often omitted (Second half of "He shall feed his flock," "Thou art gone up on high," "Great was the company of the preachers," and "Death where is thy sting"). I prefer the more intimate quality of a small ensemble of musicians to the mega-performances by the London Philharmonic, Vienna State Opera Orchestra, etc.. As with this performance, the smaller group lends a clarity to the music, where the larger ensembles can get a little "muddy" at times. Just my personal preference. Overall, this is a very good performance, and certainly the low price (being on the Naxos lable) makes this a clear choice.

Good and Bad.......2000-04-09

I was more interested in "The Messiah" for the religious content than as a music critic, but this was too much. The strings are tinny. The orchestra is plodding. The soloists and choir are thankfully very good and seem to understand the meaning of the words. It is a shame the sound mix is uneven. The male parts come across loud and clear, but the poor women. For instance, No. 9 Oh thou that tellest..., the soloist sounded like she was singing in an echo chamber far from the mike. This is one of the most disappointing versions of "The Messiah" I have heard in a long time.

This is a great recording!.......2000-02-11

I was really surprised with the new that the Messiah's New World premiere was held at Trinity Church in October 1770, twenty-eight years after it was written. This fact only will make one proud in having this CD among his collection.

Anyhow, this is nothing more than a historic detail and would not count if this recording had not an outstanding first-rate ensemble of singers. Without doubt there is no definitive version of Messiah. Each one has its own distinctive touch and feeling and exploring it is always a pleasant journey through imagination.

As stated by the conductor: "we must concede that performing Messiah with twenty singers and an appropriately balanced instrumental ensemble represents, at best, an imperfect comprimise", it will be easy to understand that this recording does not stand among the greatest and will probably carry some imperfections. I will mention two that kind of disppointed me a little bit. The Overture and the Chorus Worthy is the Lamb, for some reason misses the habitual vigor and strenght. Everything else is great and this is definitely a worth buying.

History made by music - Dispatch hails again!.......2006-02-19

Can't beat Dispatch, this album is great!

Had to comment on this guy...
Reviewer: Ryan W Sawchuk (Seattle, WA United States)

I know just writing in response to this guys' review is hypocritical in its own sense, but "oh well" it has to be said.

Instead of patronizing someone else's review, complaining that the album Who Are We Living For? is their first album, better get a grip on his Dispatch knowledge first. This album came out in 1999, preceded by none other than their first 3 albums - released 1996 (Silent Steeples), 1997 (Bang Bang) & of course in 1998 (Four Day Trials). All of which are superb music collections.

Sorry for the call out Ryan, but think before you leap next time. You don't gain respect for trashing someone else's view. Stand on your own two feet for once.

Well, at least I can give you props for admiring Dispatch!

Give it some time.......2004-03-03

At first i wasnt a real big fan of this cd. Im a huge Dispatch fan, and this was a diferent from there old stuff. But the more i listen to it, the more i like it. I now rate this cd my favorite Dispatch cd only after the live one.

Different but still amazing.......2004-01-28

Dispatch is yet to fail to amaze me. The songs have changes in slight ways but are still incredable. I think that the music they make will be great no matter what. This cd has somewhat of a different style than that of Bang Bang and Silent Steeples but if you really listen to the brilliance behind the music of this cd you will realize it is not much different than the other music. I believe that if you like Dispatch you will like this cd. There is a slight change in the instrumental aspects but it is still great and every bit as enjoyable as the and other Dispatch.

Give it a chance........2003-03-13

An earlier reviewer compared this album to Weezer's "Pinkerton," which I think is a very good comparison, in that "Who Are We Living For?" is an excelent album that many fans will hate at first because it is so different from the band's other work. It has most definitely grown on me, though. It would do music in general quite a lot of good if fans would stop being terrified by evolution of style.

Totally not Dispatch!.......2002-08-21

I was quite displeased when I first listened to this album, why? Because it is TOATALLY NOT DISPATCH! It reminds me of Weezer's attempt to make a u-turn with their sound when they released their second and worst album: Pinkerton. Though I can't deny that there a few good songs on it - hence the three stars - but they don't have that one-of-a-kind sound that they showed us with their past albums. These good songs are, Open Up, Time Served, Prince of Spades, and a few others. Now I present my thoughts while listening to this album: Track 1, "sounds good, a good intro, yeah." Track 2, "all right! Good ol' Dispatch, got to be the best!" Track 3, "whow, whow wait a sec! Did I buy a Dispatch album, or the Crystal Method?" Track 4, "Wow, what an awesome head-banging song! Too bad it's not T00L!" Well after track four I was disapointed, but I can't deny that this is a good album, but my disapointment comes from the band name on the cover. If it was of a diferent artist, I would likely give this album a 4 or 5. I just hope that, like Weezer, they get back on track to their distict sound.

This boxed set is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. As a Purcell freak, this hits every button I have. The cast of characters include the inequitable Robert King, New College Choir, Bowman, and a host of other venerable persons. Likewise the attention to period performance of these works makes it an essential addition to the library of any serious anglophile/Musicologist etc. Now if only the Britten Realizations of all Purcell's songs could be recorded alongside the originals! You will Love this set!

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-02-05

This is a really good representation of 20th century hymn tunes sung by a typical British Choir made up of boy sopranos, male altos and the usual number of tenors and basses. The choir sings very well using good diction and appropriate interpretation. The arrangements are varied, different groups of voices singing parts of a hymn usually alternating and eventually the full choir joins in; nothing unusual in the arrangements themselves. There is a nice variety of hymns, some more interesting than others. I will comment on a few of them as follows:
The opening hymn:'Christ, triumphant, ever reigning' is a good opener in that it is quick and begins with the boy sopranos and immediately gets your attention. John Barnard's majestic 'Guiting Power' tune sweeps the words up in a wide-ranging,flowing melody that creates from them a fine hymn.
'I, the Lord of sea and sky(Here I am, Lord) is a truly striking hymn! The words of this song begin with a proclamation in the verses; this is answered in the refrain by the singer's commitment to service. This is reflected in the tune. The melody for the verses has a vigorous movement to proclaim the work of God in creation, His continuing love for that creation,and His call for service. Both the words and music are by the American Jesuit musician Daniel L. Schutte, who has served both on college campuses and in parish ministry.
'All My Hope On God Is Founded' the tune of which is written by Herbert Howells and is called 'Michael'in memory of his son who died in childhood. It is a lovely melody and the words suit it very well.
The composer Ralph Vaughan Williams was the music editor of the 'English Hymnal'. The most widely used of his own tunes was the 'Monk's Gate' which he created from a folk tune. It is subtly contrived, as the rhythm of the alleluias shows. 'Sine nomine' simply means without a name.The resulting hymn is 'For All the Saints'.

The Wells Cathedral Choir under the direction of Malcolm Archer accompanied by Rupert Gough on the organ have produced an excellent disc.

Dan Schutte's Here I Am, Lord.......2001-01-08

I bought this collection because I saw the song, Here I Am, Lord written by Daniel Schutte. I grew up singing this song and many other pieces from the St. Louis Jesuits and this continues to be one that has deep meaning for me. In addition, the other pieces in this collection are very enjoyable to listen to, not only for worship but for time of reflection.

God is an Englishman.......2000-06-05

After the Anglican Communion, particularly the American branch, has completed its transformation from a church to a political-social club, at least it will be remembered for two things: the beautiful and influential language of its Book of Common Prayer (1662) and its wonderful music. The English Hymn, volume 1, is a promising start to another English music series by Hyperion. This series complements Hyperion's English Anthems series, its Psalms at St. Paul's (many volumes of Anglican chant), and its two-CD collection of "Mags and Nuncs" (My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord and My Spirit Hath Rejoiced). Volume 1, "Christ Triumphant," features hymns written in the 20th century. The styles of the hymns range from confident, pre-Great War, "God is an Englishman" roof-raisers to insipid, happy-clappy jingles, which inadvertently, I assume, parallel the decline of the church. The Wells Cathedral Choir sings with gusto and, typical of Hyperion, the sound quality is excellent. My only disappointment came when the CD ended - is this all there is to the 20th century? I hope Hyperion plans to include more than one volume on the 20th century in this series. If you enjoy this type of music, you will be satisfied with this CD. If you have CDs from the other series listed above, the English Hymn, vol. 1, and a programmable, carousel-CD player, now you can click your heels and transport yourself to Evensong at King's College, Cambridge, or St. Paul's, London!

Old Fashioned Sincerity.......2006-12-30

This is not the best recording of Messiah but it is by no means a disaster. Susskind was an able conductor with a valid view of this great piece. The recording from the 1950s is more than adequate (there is some roughness in the treble but it is full and clear - though some edits are very obvious indeed). The orchestra is excellent and the choir sing well. The soloists - all of them - are superb, among the very best in any version of Messiah! Susskind's tempos are slow by modern standards but there is good rhythmical bounce and a genuine sense of the greatness of the piece. If you can adjust to the broad tempos and the big scale conception then you will discover important aspects of this masterpiece in this performance - and the set costs next to nothing!

One of the worst recordings ever made.......2006-05-10

This is only my second one star review. And I am rather generous with stars. But this recording is just horrible, especially considering that all of the participants are legendary musicians. First of all, this is extremely old fashioned Handel. The textures are way too heavy for music of the baroque. But worst of all, the performance just sits there like mud on your tires that won't come off. Yes, the price is very low, but whatever you do, do not buy this recording.

Pete's Dad.......2005-12-11

I have had a CD of the London Philharmonic version of the Messiah conducted by Fredrick Jackson for several years and enjoyed listening to it. However, the quality of the recording leaves something to be desired.

Amazon.com

The exploits of Ian Fleming's British super-agent James Bond have long since become the longest running film series in history, spanning 40 years and counting. Not the least of the cycle's charm has been its music, a body of work that encompasses pop clichés (the twangy guitar of Monty Norman's original "James Bond Theme") and elegant underscores alike. While this collection spans music from Dr. No to The World Is Not Enough, decades of various legal entanglements prevented it from becoming the ultimate Bond music anthology. This is more a credible simulation, a newly recorded collection of cues and suites (including music previously unreleased on the original soundtracks) performed by Nic Raine and the City of Prague Symphony Orchestra. With John Barry's lush, ever-evocative scores both forming the core and setting the tone (but also featuring the work of George Martin, David Arnold, Michael Kamen, Bill Conti, and Eric Serra), it's the most comprehensive--if not exactly authentic--collection of Bond music yet attempted. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

almost the perfect James Bond collection.......2005-07-20

this 4 CD box has most of the familiar James Bond compositions.

Still,some tunes are missing(from for instance Thunderball and For Your Eyes Only)and most of the time the attention is on the instrumental version of the title track which is a bit of a shame.And yet,there are too many great pieces on this collection to make it a failure.Alpine Drive,Dawn Raid at Fort Knox,On Her Majesty's Secret Service(every track),Miss Goodhead and so on.All great pieces that not only show the great talent of John Barry but also the great power of James Bond films.Cause when you hear the music,you see the scenes in front of you.

Very much a recommendation to all Bond and Barry fans although sometimes it focusses too much on title songs.The only solution is to buy all separate soundtracks.

Good Collection.......2005-02-24

Very nice packaging and good tracks from the Bond music library make this an anoutstanding item. "From Russia With Love" and "Diamonds Are Forever" contain beautiful and energetic renditions. The John Barry music is handled quite well. I didn't real care for the David Arnold selections. "The World Is Not Enough" was weak. Overall it is a good collection just the same.

Not excatly what I expected.......2003-04-10

I when I read some of the reviews of this I thought that this was a complete collection of all the originals of the Theme songs of every James Bond movie and remakes done by the Prague Philharmonic of some of the other songs in the various movies. After recieveing this ... I started to listen to it and found out that it was all done by the orchestra. The are very good, but to a point it is not the same thing as owning a disc will all the orignal songs on it. Overall, this good if all the you want is the orchestral versions of most of the songs in the movies or the suites out of some of the movies. To a point these don't compare to the orignals. Keep looking if you want a set with all the orignals songs in it.

The James Bond CD for the John Barry purist?.......2003-01-28

Let's cut to the chase. Nic Raine and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do John Barry's work justice. 90% of this collection is as close as you can get to the original James Bond soundtracks. The other 10% lends itself to some artistic license with respect to the arrangements. Most notable is the main theme to Goldfinger. Also Nic slips in a few previously unreleased tracks. You will find these on the On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Golden Eye tracks. This CD boxed set is definitely made for the Bond soundtrack fan. The die hard John Barry "purist"/ traditionalist may find some of these tracks questionable at first, but after a few times Nic Raine's artistic license gives a fresh perspective to the familiar Bond/ Barry themes. The only reservation I have with this CD set is with some of selections that are performed. For instance, from Goldfinger, "Dawn Raid At Fort Knox" was a poor selection considering the selection available on that particular soundtrack. The most famous 007 soundtrack of all I dare say. Overall Nic hits the mark, and this CD set is a tribute to Barry's (as well as, George Martin's, Marvin Hamlish's, and Bill Conti's and David Arnold's) work. It's all here in one collection. I am a die-hard Bond soundtrack fan, and to the casual soundtrack fan I say this CD is set all you need to experience the Bond music legacy. To those who are hard core 007 soundtrack fans ...this is a FANTASTIC "addition" to your collection. This has to be the BEST (and probably the only) 007 "soundtrack" compilation. Whereas all the others feature the "main themes" from the Bond films as originally recorded, this one truly gives you the Bond experience.

Very enjoyable with most of the BOND music you'd want........2002-12-08

This is similar but more comprehensive than another BOND collection on one CD by the City of Prague Philharmonic. These are good renditions but clearly not the orginals. I must ask if the Prague Philharmonic does not own a harp? It is glaringly missing in the Goldfinger themes and i am sure on others. That harp is an exciting and beautiful touch to the wonderful GOLDFINGER theme and its absents is unfortuneatly very noticeable. Also some of the other themes can even sound muzaky if thats a word(elevator music)
It gets 3 solid stars good collection yet defineatly something is lacking.

Customer Reviews:

A good start but..........2006-02-01

As other reviewers have mentioned, this isn't quite complete. All of the grand marches, dirges, and (understandably as this was recorded in the 1950s) unavailable-at-the-time marches are missing. Some non-marches have been substituted, confusing the issue. However, this is the largest and most readily available compilation that goes beyond the "greatest hits" sets that so permeate the CD bins. (There IS a truly complete set, but it's only available in Japan, and for whatever reason, it's not being mass-imported to the States at the moment. Go figure.)
For now, I would recommend this to someone who has not purchased a lot of other Sousa CDs so as to avoid the inevitable overlap. You won't have everything, but there's a lot to enjoy here.

another march is missing.......2003-08-03

Hi
This album also lacks The Honored Dead
Bob Morecook

Close, but not QUITE complete.......2002-10-16

A very nice collection, with crisp performances. It is, however, not complete. There is at least one march, The Wedding March," missing, and it is one that is VERY hard to find. Perhaps the set should be called "The Almost, But Not Quite Complete, Sort Of, Marches....."
