Absolutely Sensational and Mind Blaster.......2004-01-03

I just watched the DVD version of the 'Miracle Live - 12 Girls Band' by Universeral Musical. I was astonished by the amazing play by this 12-member band. I love the exceptional interpretation and instrumentation arrangement for music from Chinese classics, Chinese minority folklore, Western pop, and Western classical music. This is a must-to-have CD/DVD for those who want to witness how a western music is played with Chinese traditional instruments. Enjoy your listening!

Phenomenal disc, but don't buy it.......2003-09-02

This is definitely funk at it's best. Maceo and the JB Horns are the funkiest horn section and singers, and they are working with The Meters, who are pioneers in funk music. Absolutely amazing. However, realize that the artists were not paid for this disc. Before you buy it here, check at the Funky Meters website, at the message board, where someone can get you a much better price on this one. Same with Volume 1. Rather than support a foreign company who doesn't pay the artist, get it from someone else who doesn't screw the musicians.

Nice garage/hard rock amalgam.......2005-04-21

Live from Germany in the late '80's, this is a good record. The Miracle Workers combine a late '60's MC5/Stooges sound with an earlier '60's garage rock style. If you like the MC5, Sonics,, Chesterfield Kings, etc, you'll like this record.

FYI - I was the bass guitar player in the Miracle Workers in our earlier days. I was not a member of the band when this record was recorded. No dog in the fight ;)

Good garage record !

Miracle Live by 12 Girls Band VCD.......2006-02-01

Although called a CD by Amazon and sold as such, this will not play on any average American CD player, DVD player or Computer Disc Drive. We love the music of 12 Girls Band but had to return the item at a loss because we were unable to make it play on anything we have. Supposedly VCD is popular in Asia but has never made an inroad in America. Order only if you know it can be played on your equipment.

Great Music.......2006-01-12

I have the Hong Kong DVD version of this Miracle Live concert, and I must say the music is just beautiful and rich. I have not bought new CDs and/or DVDs of music for a long time, except for the 12 Girls Band. I hope they will continue to produce beautiful music for us. Strongly recommended.

A sonic, cultural and visual extravaganza.......2005-12-15

This review is for the DVD version but the material review is valid for the VCD as well.


Initially I saw "The 12 Girls Band" on an HDTV program in a Chinese Restaurant. It was not the same program that is in the "Miracle" DVD, the HDTV special was perhaps better still. The memory of that program kept coming back to me, and the more I thought about it, the more I needed to see "The Girls" again. It is indeed fortunate that Amazon and partners had access to this DVD which does not appear to be published in the USA (I am willing to bet that after the recent East Coast concert series that situation will be corrected shortly, they were all sold out).

The Girls play traditional Chinese and Jazz fusion melodies on a scale that evokes a Grand Philharmonic spectacle. I enjoyed the traditional material and the occasional venture into remake of the classics like in track 12, the New Classicism (Beethoven et al) more than the Western style "Take Five". Do not get me wrong, they are all spectacular both sonically and visually, the traditional material is just more "right".

This concept of "right" is very interesting, all of the girls are stunningly beautiful, and they play the music with precision, maybe too much precision. There are hardly any un-necessary gestures or even smiles. When the enjoyment of doing something well comes across, it is in their eyes. Before the program is over, each of the girls will have her unique personality imprinted on your mind. Therefore, the "traditional" music seems to be more "right" with the "restrained" presentation style. On one track though, #19, "Happy Valley", two of the girls do what can best be described as an oriental drum percussion hip-hop number, by playing an overturned metal desk. Here they hand clap, play the bongos, dance, interact with the audience and look quite extroverted, something for everyone?

So the music is superb, the artistry is inescapable, and the presentation is? Pretty good actually, the stage is mostly flat with terraces for groups of performers, the uppermost and rearmost one reserved for the backing band. Yes, there are some electronic keyboards, guitars, and a very capable drummer backing the main band. The stage lighting is mostly monochromatic blue or red, with mostly sound synchronized motion. At times there are background visuals like butterflies or fish (the live fish I believe are projected on a muslin see thru screen stretched in front of the stage). Live fish being what they are did not swim synchronized with the music and so some of the harmony of sounds and visuals was lessened somewhat.

There are bound to be comparisons with "Bond live at Royal Albert Hall". Both are semi classical music, both are "girl" groups, but the presentation could not have been more different. One is classical Eastern, one classical Western. One is over-produced, while the other is under-produced (makes you feel like as if you are at the forefront of a cultural discovery though). In case you want to try an interesting experiment, consider that both Bond and 12 Girls cover the same song number "Victory" on their respective DVDs, Girls on track 11, while Bond does it on their track 12 and their Grand Finale. BOTH are fun, just different. Enjoy them both. I keep wondering what a mixture of "Renaissance", "Rick Wakeman", "Yes" and "Emerson Lake and Palmer" may have looked like when updated and performed by 12 Girls. This was pure unadulterated fun.

And finally, some technical notes. I have seen both the Japanese and the Hong Kong version of the "Miracle" DVD. The Hong Kong version is by far the better of the two. It has a 2 track digital stream, a 5.1 Dolby Digital track and a 5.1/6.1 DTS sound track. I have never heard DTS sound so pronouncedly better than Dolby Digital. The 2-track DVD audio only, on the Japanese DVD has a lot of audience noise and talking in the right channel. The Hong Kong (Universal) disk also contains the Bonus track "Freedom" music video. The music video is poor quality video transfer though. The wide screen main program video quality is better, but still not top notch. For now, I am willing to overlook this, as the subject matter is THAT good.

miracle live VCD.......2004-11-12

I have to admit i had never heard of this band until recently,and i was astonished, this band of instrumentalists are FANTASTIC to watch perform,and of course there can be no doubting their musical talents,i guess you could say there music is a kind of cross between that of bond and perhaps a hint there of kitaro style too,if you like either of these artists it a good probability you will enjoy listening to the 12 girls band too,they play acoustic chinese instruments,string,woodwind and even some percussion on one track,they are accompanied by a western style backing band

M/O Review.......2002-11-14

This is a terrific CD, well worth the buy, it is a great mix of jazz and rock, I can't wait for another great CD from them. This CD makes people smile and say, what group is this!! Great for parties, wish we had a good jazz band like this in Houston!!

Utterly Amazing........2000-11-18

Sometimes radio gets me down, with the depressing state of pop music and all... but then, every once in a while, you hear something that comes out of nowhere and just blows you away. My brother brought me to a Miracle Orchestra show last year. I had never heard of them and didn't quite know what to expect. I was floored - this was the type of raw energy that I thought had died in the Seventies - Hendrix, Miles Davis, Little Feat, Allmans, Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock (you get the picture). The show was incredible - huge crowd - reminded me of an early Phish show (but that's another story).

The band members are individually masterful, but play as a solid unit. The music is complex, but still swings & grooves. Very modern sound - very original with subtle hints of the past. It's all about ENERGY. The show was great and I haven't had a chance to see them since. I bought this record last week, and can't get enough of it. Forks, Bends & Spoons is a beautifully constructed album. It moves in so many directions that by time the disc is over, you feel as if you have been on a journey. Many good tunes for a party tape. It lives in my disc changer at home and I am tempted to buy another copy to keep in my car. Music like this restores my faith in music.

This is easily one of my favorite new discs of the year.

An M/O Fan.......2000-11-16

Of all the M/O Cd's this one is by far the best. I played this CD at a bar that I worked at and many of the customers asked who they were. They said, "This band has a truely original sound." Having seen M/O live multiple times I couldnt agree more. They due seem to take bits and pieces from many genres, but their sound as a whole is all their own. Forks, Bends..... Is a great sampling of many of ways M/O can play. I loved this CD. Try to see them live though it is a good time

These guys can do it all. And they do........2000-10-31

The only reason that this album doesn't get 5 stars is that I've seen them live and I know that they can tear it up 10 times as hard. But that is more due to the limits of an album format than to their actual playing. Bad Haircut starts off the album setting a funked out dance tone; although it does not climax in the way that it does live. Canvas shows Geoff's tremendous compositional ability. Tracks like Great Oscillate, This Time, and Eurohaus Destroyer illustrate why Garret Sayers is one of the best Bassists out there. Geoff's vocals and guitar playing are subtle and emotional throughout the disc. Bill and Garret provide a tremendous rhytmic force, these guys create beats and rhythms like you've never heard. Watch out. And Jared, the main soloing force on the album, is absolutely wonderful with powerful and sweet solos alike. Although he doesn't have the freedom to go off like he can at a show. Songs like Eurohaus Destroyer will blow you away with their power and diversity. If you like Jazz buy this album. If you like Funk buy this album. If you like getting down buy this album. To put it simply, buy this album. And if you don't believe me, check them out live. Then I know that you will buy this album!

At Last.......2000-10-28

I've been seeing these guys live for the past couple of years, and anxiously awaiting their CD. It's great to see that a band that puts on such incredible live shows can recreate the magic in the studio. Two big thumbs up.
