Tenth [Original recording remastered]

Product Description
The members of MTB were good ol’ boys at heart, but it was during the recording of the Top 40 album Tenth that rock ’n’ roll excess started to rear its ugly head. You’d never know it from the music, which reached back to the original sound of the debut on such songs as "Save My Soul," which recalls the hit song "Can’t You See," and "Sing My Blues" – a song about the Caldwell brothers’ years of playing the local club circuit before forming MTB. Patti Austin contributes backing vocals to "Gospel Singin’ Man

OM in MACHINES.......2007-06-10

Hey did you know that if you set up some microphones surrounded by fans, fridges, and one or two of those old Champion juicers you can create your very own droning OM chant and best of all it's free! :-) OM is everywhere!All of you who suffer from tinnitus already know that!

Contain the original 43' album version AND a 17' Bonus track.......2007-05-25

The information below is incorrect - this deluxe version contains the original 43' Om Namaha Shivaya. It also contains a bonus track - a 17' Om, which was specially recorded for this release.

The deluxe version also includes the extended liner notes, with articles from Robert Gass, Deepak Chopra, and Don Campbell.

I hope this clarifies things.

Very good CD with a powerful OM chant..........2007-03-31

I bought this CD for the very high quality OM chant which is asynchronous and done with many voices. While this track is only about 17 minutes, it is simple, beautiful and seems to come from a very deep space. I am a meditation instructor and I have shopped around for a CD with this quality OM chant. This is the best I have found so far. I like the Om Namaha Shivaya chant less, but this is more a matter of taste than anything negative about it in itself. I really don't think you can go wrong here for the price and my experience is that the second track is deeply relaxing and helps one get into connection with a deep place of silence and connection.

The Best Healing Music.......2006-01-25

This CD is simply one of the best healing music available. I have used it in my hospice work, in seminars, to soothe my children to sleep. It is filled with a beautiful, spiritual energy that words cannot describe.

Those wanting an "eastern" sound experience, look elsewhere.......2005-04-07

[...]

I bought this CD a few years back, after hearing the second track, "Om," at a new age bookstore. When I got home and listened to the first track, a very western-sounding rendition of Om Namaha Shivaya, I was very disappointed in the disc, but I kept it for the "Om" track, which I sometimes use for relaxing music; and occasionally for meditation, when I'm feeling particularly agitated, and having trouble settling my mind down (although I usually meditate w/o music).

[...]

If you want something a lot more idiomatic, I highly recommend a CD called, Sacred Chants of Shiva: From the Banks of the Ganges, on the Heaven on Earth Music Label. In addition to five other tracks of chants about Shiva, this excellent disc concludes with a 31-minute rendition of Om Namaha Shivaya. Both the vocals and instrumentation are a lot more idiomatic than the Robert Gass version. [...]

This is where it all began. Ten years ago, Ottmar Liebert brought flamenco music to the world with a new style of playing he dubbed, appropriately, nouveau flamenco. Ten years later, despite such adventurous CDs as Opium and The Hours Between Night and Day, Nouveau Flamenco remains his most popular CD. The reasons are obvious. Although Liebert is a technically gifted player, he lets the melodies of his flamenco-inspired tunes ring out over his own virtuosity. That's what makes songs like "Barcelona Nights" and "Sante Fe" so memorable. Nouveau Flamenco spawned countless imitators, some of them even very good, but this CD instantly reveals why Liebert has managed to be the top-of-the-brain name for modern flamenco music. On Nouveau Flamenco: 1990-2000, they've remixed everything, extended some tracks out a bit and brought in five additional pieces recorded at the same time as the original CD. The resequencing may throw off your memories of the original, and the mix here tends to be thinner and less reverberant, but one decade and millions of CD sales later, Nouveau Flamenco still lives up to its title. --John Diliberto

Soothing.......2006-04-24

If beautiful guitar music is your thing, you don't want to miss this cd. This is some of the most beautiful guitar sounds you will ever hear.

I'm a wedding officiant/minister in south Texas and as such, many of the weddings I perform have an hispanic flavor to them. I've found this music to be extremely popular for the pre-procession when people are gathering their seats and waiting for the ceremony to begin. I play this often and without fail, have somene comment on it later, wanting to know what it was.

You'll love the mellow, soothing sounds. I often play it at home, particularly when I'm relaxing on the back patio on a warm summer evening with a cool glass of lemonade.

First experience with Nouveau Flamenco.......2004-06-04

For someone new to Liebert's work this disc was a pleasant eye opener with excellent quality and variety. I found it relaxing, exciting, soothing, romantic and fantasizing. I could actually picture myself at a Mexican resort on the beach with dancers sourrounding our table.

I could also visualize myself at home in a meditation listening to this CD; yes, exciting and relaxing at the same time. After listening to this CD a couple of times on the radio, I heard that Liebert was coming to town in an outdoor concert in three weeks and like a fantasy come true, I got a couple of friends together, played the CD in their car, and got three tickets for dinner and a concert. We are all psychologists, and this concert is our weekly gathering for business, pleasure, and entertainment.

great music.......2003-05-31

If you want to listen to some great guitar music, whether you call it flamenco or not, this is the guy you want to listen to. His music is both upbeat, and relaxing. I first heard "Barcelona Nights" about 8 yrs ago, and I couldn't forget it. This whole disc it excellent, you can't go wrong, and I think you will get hooked on his music just as I did.

Buy the ORIGINAL-- nothing is "special" about this edition!.......2003-01-19

"Special" doesn't always mean better!

Get the original album that was released in 1990. This flat re-release boasts "extra tracks" that in reality are just remixes masquerading as new material. Note that the above editor's review mentions the "thinned" out sound of the special edition versus the original release. I agree completely, and that is the bulk of my complaint about this cd. The original version was meatier, had more purposeful arrangements, and the sound was unique without being flashy.

This new edition, however, is a castration. New age guitar music already teeters dangerously on the edge of the easy-listening abyss, and this remastering has pushed 'Nouveau Flamenco,' a recording that barely evaded the evil clutches of Lite Jazz, into the bubble-bath music category.

Bottom line: if you want MUSIC, purchase the original release in all of its dynamic acoustical glory; if you want a collection of lullabies or a smooching soundtrack, pick up this so-called "special" edition, complete with its extra synthesizers and a computer's sense of rhythm.

Flamenco ?.......2002-12-23

Is it laziness, ignorance, lack of respect? Or where is the big obstacle finding out what real Flamenco is? Ottmar Liebert is just posing as a flamenco guitarist.
There are a lot of new, real flamenco guitarists with infinitly more 'duende', 'compás' & 'aire':
Manolo Sanlúcar, Serranito, Paco de Lucia, Tomatito, Moraito, Vicente Amigo, Pepe Habichuela, Gerardo Núñez, José Antonio Rodríguez, Niño Josele, Rafael Riqueni, Chicuelo, El Viejin, Jeronimo, Enrique de Melchor, Juan Carlos Romero, Cañizares etc etc
Í have no problem with his music except the 'flamenco' label he is selling it with - ottmar's has absolutely nothing to do with flamenco. Its just his way to make money......

Thankfully, we have this genre called Hip Hop to quench our thirst for our everyday lives. Not everyone understands the significants of this particular genre...*ahem* Felix Schulz "Catburycatfish" whatever your name is, but one things for sure..in America we have this thing called VARIETY. Many different types of music. I, for one appreciate ALL OF THEM...even classical suprisingly..EXCEPT 4 COUNTRY. Sorry...could never stand it.Some people like hip hop(not mainstream commercial "RAP")...some people don't, but hey...i suggest you stick to your own type of music and stop Reviewing on Albums YOU DON'T EVEN OWN! Hey Mr. Felix...just try sticking to Manhattan Trinity, Elvis Costello, Louis Nunley, Mimi Fox, Miles Davis, Lyle Lovett, Patrick Zimmerli, tommy Young, and your Fake Stupid Tropical Rain Forrest BIRD SOUNDS, alright homeboy? Thanks. Peace.

P.S. best track on cd is "simply ludicrous".

Not What I Was Expectin.......2005-01-14

Fist of all, this isn't really a Poppa Wu album. For those who don't know, Poppa Wu is not a rapper. He is an elder who is conidered the mentor of the Wu-Tang Clan (hence the name Poppa Wu). Some call him Freedom. He saw most of the Wu Clan grow before his very eyes. He first appeared on Raekwon's ONLY BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX on the bonus track ("North Star" aka "Jewels") having a conversation with Raekwon on the intro. He then appeared on Ghostface Killah's IRONMAN (in the begining of "Black Jesus" and at the end of "All That I've Got IS You" featuring Mary J. Blige) and on Wu-Tang's sophomore LP, WU-TANG FOREVER ("Wu-Revolution"). Poppa Wu is also responsible for the involvement of Wu-Tang's core members in The Nation Of Gods & Earths aka The 5 Percenters. However, I thought that this album was gonna feature Poppa Wu teaching or enlightening listeners on his views with appearances from Wu-Tang MC's. When I popped the disc in, I got something different (not necesarilly bad). A few voices were familiar or recognizable (Method Man, ODB, Black Knights, North Star, Buddha Monk, Brooklyn Zoo, La The Darkman, King Just) and others were not, such as Manchuz (an extended version of Brooklyn Zoo), Kendra, Lady Raw, Cuffie Crime Family, Don Chulo, Sic, and Zu Ninjaz (another group of Brooklyn Zu affiliates, but from New Jersey). The most promising of these groups are The Brooklyn Zu affiliates (Manchuz and Zu Ninjaz) and The Cuffie Crime Family (members are Free Murda and Shacronz) who, since then, have changed their name to Division. Those are the only ones i Kept hearing from after this album. This isn't really a Poppa Wu album, but a compilation of Wu-Tang affiliated MCs along with new ones introduced by Poppa Wu. It's a album worth checking out.

They Don't Have a Place For Minus Stars.......2004-11-05

The complete lack of Euphemismistic dialogue in these diatribes
indicates a singular disfunction in this particular form indigineous to certain language groups, an indomitable barrier
between Communicative Language and contact with the Exterior world, consisting of coded signals. Such defense mechanisms
perform a function of forming a group character among those who
have little else in common. One finds it difficult to understand
how one can send a coded message via loud, blisteringly loud,
bass and shouted repeated rhyme, but it is being done daily
all over the United States, and now thoughtout the world. (If
one wants to hide something, put it right out in the open, because no one would think to look there.) As the great poet
P. Townsend once said, "Don't try to dig what we all say..."
because, well, if you don't know it, you never will.

POPA WU=THE MAN.......2004-03-12

I first heard Popa Wu on amazon.com about 2 weeks ago and ever since ive gotten it ive couldnt stop listening to it. Method Man and Lady Raw make this cd. The tracks Life of a Ganster, Three Amigos, and I like to Ride it are my favorite tracks. There isn't one bad track on this cd. BUY THIS CD!

I HAVE THIS ON VINYL,I HAVE HAD THIS ALBUM SINCE IT CAME OUT,NOT THE M.T.B.WERE ALL USED TO,A PRETTY GOOD LISTEN,MELLOWISH TOO.

The Bottom Line..........2007-04-01

All the finest ingredients of rock, country, blues, and jazz blended into a down-home gumbo as only The (original) Marshall Tucker Band could do it! The remastered series sounds superb audibly, and the packaging is beautifully restored- complete with historic photos and interesting liner notes. The Marshall Tucker Band remastered recordings of the original band- "Self Titled" through "Tenth"- are well worth the investment.

MTB's Last Album With Tommy Caldwell Is Great.......2005-05-20

TENTH, the last Marshall Tucker Band album to feature Tommy Caldwell on bass guitar, is great. Almost all of the songs are first-rate, and the group would continue to go on successfully after Tommy died, with the obvious exception of the covers-laden album TUCKERIZED. If your kid who just graduated from high school lives home and puts this album down, don't lift their curfew. Anyone who insults this great album needs one.

This CD is 2 CDs in one price, however, that's not good enought that I recommand it, the more important is that Manze had gotten good appreciation when individual record released, so we could listen his beautiful music with lower price.
As to the list of these collection, the major composer isn't shown of Castello, but Schmelzer, you could view its comments from other reviewers. I would add more coment from comparied with Manze and Holloway. The former is good of violin technique and fluent; the latter is that put more expressive with emotion on it. They all works perfect, not esay to compare. If you ever liked or listen one of them, I recommand you try both of.

Reminiscing the Past of Black Metal While Hanging to a Future.......2007-07-12

Not much I can say that hasn't already been said.

This is a great CD. It has the weird and proggy aspects of new black metal combined with the raw, melancholic fury of old black metal. The CD is full of suicide screams of fury and sorrow. The musician in charge of the production did a good job. This CD is definitely reserving a spot in my favorites.

While Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, and new Emperor may be fine with most people, this CD is great for any classic black metal fan (and maybe modern black metal fans too). Be sure to support the one-man band behind this masterpiece and buy this CD.

I find all the five star ratings a bit odd........2007-06-20

The fact that not one person gave this album anything below a five star rating really blows me away.

Personally, I believed this album to be atrocious. The production is horrible, the vocals sound as if some sort of pig-like animal is having a petrifying heart attack, and I don't think the execution of some of the instrumentals could be worse. The drums in some songs sound like Wrest is just blindly pounding away while incredibly high on E. The rest of instrumental playing is mediocre, but definitely not anything to rave about. Basically all of it sounds like one muffled mess.

I wouldn't waste your money on this.

Audio Rape..........2005-10-13

From the title of this review you might think I was reviewing some low brow goregrind CD (I'm not)... This is indeed the the equivalent of listening to someone being brutally raped and murdered with a dagger of ice. Leviathan's musick has so many dimensions it's incredible. From the walls of noise (Introit), the hyper (I don't want to say "punk") guitar riffs (Mine Molten Armor), beautiful interludes (Submersed), and the throat-slashing, merciless guitar riffs that make up most of the CD. A amazing expression of hate and isolation, depression and death. Five stars seems unjust...

1) Introit - Very creepy, best. intro. ever.

2) F-cking Your Ghost in Chains of Ice - Not only an brilliant song title, but contains the single greatest guitar riff-f-cking ever! (around 2:28 mintues into the song), The vocals are just sick. My 2nd favorite song.

3) Sardoniscorn - Pretty long song, clocking in at about nine minutes. Awesome.

4) The Bitter Emblem of Dissolve - Gastly, ghost-like vocals, another steller song.

5) Scenic Solitude and Leprosy - This song contains another brilliant guitar riff around the last minute of the song, killer opening.

6) He Whom Shadows Move Towards - Sounds like "Bitter Emblem...", pretty good song.

7) Submersed - A beautifully composed syth song (does that belong on an album like this?)... just listen to it and you'll understand.

8) Mine Molten Armor - The guitar riffs on this song are just f-cking killer, great bass part six minutes into the song, the lyrics are anti-cHRISTIAN, and would cause anyone to burn down a church!

9) The Idiot Sun - A somewhat melodic song, very good.

10) At the Door to the Tenth Sub Level of Suicide - This is the climax of the entire album, and worth the 12 dollars along, Blazing guitars and furious blastbeats, hostile shreaks and howls. Cold. I was able to decipher two words - "bitter poison", those three words give me internal/eternal frostbite everytime I hear Wrest spit them out... The last three minutes sound like some horrific struggle of the soul, between divinity and the inevitable darkness...

This is by far one of my favorite CDs, and prehaps one of the best BM albums EVER made. I would strongly suggest it to any one with the appreciation for brilliant USBM...

This is brilliant black album.......2005-04-26

This is truly a brilliant album. The black metal as it SHOULD be, which puts in shame poseurs like Dimmu Borgir and COF; lyrical concept is GREAT, depht-based... Naturally, after The Tenth Sub Level of Suicide you feel yourself in the very deep underworld of the sorrow's ocean... And "SUBMERSED" - in my personal humble opinion, of course - this is THE BEST instrumental ambient track ever written.
At the whole, this album is very depressive and makes you wish you were dead - which is the primary goal of a true black metal music, so since it's achieved, it can proudly deserve this title. And surely, this album does.

4.5. Cacophonous, but sad and beautiful too.......2005-04-05

Black Metal is definitely not one of my favorite metal styles, but at it's best it can be about as good as anything out there. Still, I'd grown a little leery of more BM as of late, because the last couple albums I'd got hadn't been so thrilling. So, It's a good thing I took another chance and got some Leviathan. This isn't quite the best Black Metal I've ever heard, but it's definitely up there.

This is some fairly hardcore music, though there's definitely some dirtier, rougher stuff out there. All recorded on 4-track, and it's pretty static-laden and thin, but it's not the sort of wall of static you sometimes hear, and you can still make out most of the instruments out fairly well. I think this has about the right balance, as the production gives it the distinctive Black metal flavoring, w/o becoming needlessly and irritatingly rough. This is a one man band,(He calls himself Wrest) and the musicianship is generally pretty basic, but that sorta stuff matters very little for BM of this sort. He is a great vocalist however. Definitely one of the best I've heard in a Black Metal band. It's a tortured, distorted and mangled roar, definitely a lot better then the sorta mildly ill croak you here quite a bit.

The album is about 72 minutes long, with 8 actual songs, so this is some moderately epic black metal. This album is actually fairly moderately paced, though they blast away quite a bit of the time, and it's got quite a few minimalistic breaks. Some people only like their BM at topspeed, but I think it often works best when you give the music some space to breathe. Some of the tracks don't really have all that many different riffs or parts, considering their lengths, but it never gets boring, which is all that really matters.

The songs generally aren't wildly different from one another, but they can be distinguished readily, with a little effort. 'The Bitter Emblem of Dissolve' is probably my favorite track. It's one of the shorter tracks, but it all works, with some powerfully atmospheric and melodic guitarwork, and Wrest's most frightful, otherworldly vocal performance. The mellow ending section is excellent too, with more nice melody that still fits the whole tone of the song well. 'Sardoniscorn' probably comes in second. It's most notable for the awesome minimalist middle break, with some great piano and more tortured vox. (You belong to us!!) The rest of the song is great too, though. 'The Idiot Sun' is another standout, being perhaps the slowest track here. It's a painful, roaring dirge, with another one of Wrest's best vocal performances. 'Submersed' is excellent too. It's just a repetitive little electronic outro, but it's really quite affecting, and fits the mood of the album well. 'At the Door to the Tenth Sub Level of Suicide' is the epic closer. Overall, it is perhaps just average for the album, but it comes to a stirring, genuinely powerful crescendo about 10 minutes in, with the sorta epic feel that reminds me of the best moments of the great Weakling. It definitely provides a good sorta exclamation point to the album.

Yeah, that's it. This is good Black Metal.

These are actual performances that helped Jon Nakamatsu win the gold medal at the Tenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. The pianist's personality is the most obvious element, as it should be. His Brahms sonata is outstanding, meeting the extravagant technical demands head-on while making music at every moment--a fervent, youthful performance completely appropriate to the music. In the Chopin, another technical showpiece, Nakamatsu also keeps the focus on the poetry of the music. His Stravinsky and Bolcom, while neither of them is in a "difficult" style, show a decided affinity for the 20th century. By the end of the disc, we are glad that such a major prize has gone to such an admirable musician. --Leslie Gerber

Masterful!.......2007-01-12

Jon Nakamatsu played for us recently in Davidson, NC, and I must say that he has to be one of the five greatest living pianists extant. His exquisite precision and dextrous articulation is far from sterile, and he plays with enviable aplomb music which he colors most appropriately with just the right touch of expressivity.

What a privilege to have heard and seen him live in concert! His CDs recall perfectly the thrill of his live(ly) performance.

Genius and Precision.......2001-07-28

An example to all classical musicians. Nothing more need be said.

This CD reveals Jon Nakamatsu's solid music talent.......2001-01-13

I am a big fan of Mr. Nakamatsu, and I thoroughly enjoy his performance in this CD. You will be moved by his precise, dynamic and brilliant performance. The music pieces selected in this CD may not be as familiar to many of us as the ones in his other CD (Chopin), therefore, it may take a while to feel intimate with this CD... nonetheless, his solid music talent is crystal clear in his performance here.

Nakamatsu CD won me over.......1998-10-28

Jon Nakamatsu is truly a great pianist. The selections on this CD just why he is the champion. I have listened to this CD while studying, on road trips, and when trying to relax. I highly recommend this CD. Of course, I may be a bit influenced by the fact that I was his student for 4 years, however, with an objective ear, I still highly recommend it.

Tight Collective of Ruthless' Discog.......2007-07-05

1998, Ruthless Records releases a comp of older fav's from its artists. The songs are tight, many are bonafied classics, but the selection is a bit lacking in my opinion. We Get MC Ren classics from 1993's Shock Of The Hour like "F--k What Ya Heard," a couple of H.W.A. joints from their 1994 album Az Much A-- Az U Want like "Great Tazte Less Fillaz," a real horny song with a dope G-Funk beat. You get JJ Fad's pump-u-up joint from the late 80's "Supersonic." You also get a couple N.W.A. joints of course, and definitely a few Eazy-E cuts. You also get 2 "new" Eazy-E cuts (old Eazy spits over 1998 tailored beats). "Black N---a Killa" and "24 Hrs. To Live," which are alright, nothing special. Michel'le and the D.O.C. are also represented here, as is Above The Law. ATL's cuts that made it here are "Murder Rap" from 1990's Livin' Like Hustlers, and their classic 1994 "Black Superman" from Uncle Sam's Curse, a great cut for this comp considering few can afford U.S.C. cuz it's rare and expensive. Now, I wish a couple of Steffon's tracks could have been represented like "Funk Like Me," a slick G-Funk classic or "Frost Bit." Those 2 joints coulda made a 5 star collective. But still, a nice reflection, or intro for some, to Ruthless Records extensive catalog. R.I.P. Eazy.

RUTHLESS MOST DOPEST HITS.......2005-12-23

This album has all the big hits back from N.W.A first started till around when Eazy-E died. All the songs are decent to listen to with some of them I never heard before because the cd's their on you can't buy anymore. The main reason I bought this is to show my respect of Eazy-E since he is my favorite rapper and used to be the illest in the game. This also includes 2 of his unreleased songs, "24 Hours To Live", and "Black Nigga Killa". They both ended up becoming singles off this album to prove how good they were and how sick of a voice Eazy had back in the day. If I were you, I would scoop this up before it goes out of print since Ruthless Records is getting buried in the dirt as the days go on, ruthlesss is famous for artists such as Eazy-e, N.W.A., Above the Law, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and etc. this is a way for ruthless to show of the talents in there artists.

Knocc Out & Dre'sta, Kokane, Frost, Dirty Red, ALT, Slow Pain, Blood Of Abraham, etc. Other than 24 Hours To Live & Black Nigga Killa, a track that shocked me other than Real Muthaphukkin G's was Black Superman, by Above The Law. It's Ruthless-4-Life on this one, so much luv to the B.G.K.O.-CPT, much luv to the D.R.E.-O.B.G. and much luv to the E-A-Z-Y-E-CPT!

Ruthless 4 Life.......2005-10-24

All i gotta say is buy this CD, 2 discs are awesome with Black N*gga Killa the OG version is absolutely off the hook. Very rare.
Ive been trying to get this CD for 6 years now and finally i got it. It has great songs on each disk featuring songs from ATL, MC Ren, Blood Of Abraham, The DOC manyothers and ofcourse the one and only Hip Hop Thugsta Eazy E, I rate 90% of the songs 10/10 and the other 10% 8/10 which is pretty good, overall the CD is worth definate 5 star rating and worth every cent you spend on it. Get it before it goes out of print.
