a worth recommendation to their collection.

that whas used for the very first Baywatch-episode
(pilot-movie): "Baywatch - Panic at Malibu Pier"
(1989). If you are interested in songs that featured
on Baywatch, you can buy here on Amazon.com the Book: "Baywatch - Rescued from Prime Time".

Bryan Ferry gets the package treatment........2004-06-28

Without question, Bryan Ferry is one of the most sublime singers of the past 30 years. And if you subtract the work with Roxy, he rates as one of the all time best interpretive artists, ever. Which is what makes a collection like "Slave to Love" frustrating. While it certainly spotlight's Ferry's extraordinary skill as a romantic singer, it jumbles and juxtaposes styles from the various stages of Ferry's career.

One of the greatest things about latter day Roxy was that the albums (in particular, "Flesh + Blood" and "Avalon") had such seamless flow to them. Even his more recent solo material had that silky continuity, making them best heard as whole albums. On a CD touted as "The Best Of The Ballads," having the wistful romance of "More Than This" pressed against the endearingly campy "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" becomes something of a distraction rather than an enhancement.

Them's the minuses. The plusses are that you do get a really slick 74 minutes of coolly delivered songs to while away the time to. There are a few harder to find single and soundtrack songs here as well. Roxy Music's tribute to John Lennon, their cover of "Jealous Guy," is reason alone to buy "Slave To Love." You'll also find "Is Your Love Strong Enough" and "Sonnet No 18" for those who don't have the originals.

So while I wouldn't disavow this collection to anyone searching it out, I'd also recommend "Avalon," "Boys and Girls" and "Siren" as albums to explore above this one.

Bryan Ferry: Today's Sinatra.......2003-02-16

I'll be brief. Your time is better spent lsiteing to this CD than reading about it. Bryan Ferry is today's Sinatra. Timeless ballads and exquisite arrangements, sincere vocal featuring superb phrasing. This is what artist collections should be, something fans and first-time listeners will enjoy forever.

This is one collection to love.......2002-03-24

Bryan is one of my all time favorite singers of all time. He is a great musician and has created some of the best music that I have ever listened to.

This CD is a collection of ballads from both his solo albums and from his band Roxy Music's albums. There are two songs that were previously unreleased as well as the Princess Diana tribute track Sonnet No. 18.

The songs vary from very simple in the likes of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, to jazzy like that of These Foolish Things, to rock-oriented in the likes of Is Your Love Strong Enough which is one of the best songs Bryan Ferry has ever made. It could fit well on his masterpiece Bete Noire. There are even two songs from his 1999 album As Time Goes By(I have since come to like it some) which have a very 30s or 40s vibe to them.

My favorite songs are Avalon, Is Your Love Strong Enough, Zamba, These Foolish Things, Windswept and the unforgettable Slave To Love.

The truth is this entire CD contains unforgettable songs that will never die in my opinion. I have enjoyed Bryan Ferry's music for about seven years( I,m 19 years old but I hate alot of todays artists). Bete Noire made me a fan of Bryan.

The thing though I kind don't like about these so called "Best Of" CDs is it kind of feels like the record executives are trying to cash in on the Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music fanbases( I don't need "Avalon, Slave To Love, or Smoke Gets In Your Eyes on like ten or so CDs).

But anyway I love this CD and i now have about five CDs by Ferry. I plan on getting his remastered early albums sometime soon.

Very good CD. Filled with great classical music. Would recommend to anyone.

Romantic Mood Music of High Level.......2005-11-16

Collections like this are nice as an alternative to Ipod type collections, or multi-CD shuffling, achieving a nice balance and variety of compositions.

Here gathered around "romantic" classical theme, have the likes of Dvorak, Strauss, Mozart, Pachelbel, et al. Acclaimed performances by Denon Classical catalog performers such as Jean-Pierre Rampal, David Oistrakh, etc.

For two disc set of such superb quality at such a reasonable price, this is very much a play often collection.

Someone Get Her Back Into A Studio.......2003-12-06

It's ashamed that the current revival in roots music hasn't brought this fantastic artist's music to light. She has labored in relative obscurity since the early 70's, when she became a fixture on the Nashville scence as a French major at Vanderbuilt, the so-called "Harvard of the South." She comes from wealthy and socially prominent family from Spartanburg County South Carolina. She's worked with Conway Twitty, Emmylou, Billy Joe Shaver and John Hiatt. Chapman has had a long working association with Jimmy Buffet, as a sometime singer in the Coral Reefer Band and has co-writter of a handful of Buffet's songs.

Marshall's smokey vocals and earthy song lyrics bear a resembalance to Lucinda Williams, but Marshall Chapman's involvement in burgeoning Nashville outlaw music scene predates Lucinda's emergence in Austin by at least five years. Marshall has recorded sporadically over the past 25 years and her seven year absence from recording since she recorded this excellent album, "Love Slave", has been the longest period she's been away from a studio in her career. She is sorely missed and I hope someone can coax her into a studio again because she deserves to be heard. Her 1978 album "Jaded Virgin" and her raucous live 1995 prison album, "It's About Time" are the most sought after items in her catalog but "Love Slave" is a comparable album in quality.

Just Listen To It!.......2003-09-05

Find youself a copy here on Amazon, and buy it. This is the best record Marshall has made, and with her supporting cast of Grammy winners providing instrumental and vocal support, I haven't wanted to take it out of the CD changer in months.

Soulful, Rocking, Reeling & Appealing.......1999-05-21

How Marshall Chapman has escape major stardom is one of the music industries many mysteries. With a career as a singer and widely recorded songwriter going back more than 20 years, she should be placed with Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams as a great female pop/folk/blues/rock individualists.

Working with her fine band (The Love Slaves, their prior release live in a women's prision "It's About Time" is a sterling live set) she ranges from playful ("Don't Mind Me," "Love Slave") "sadder-but-wiser" ("Better To Let Her Go" "If I Can't Have You") to rageful ("Gun's Are Us"). Songs such as "Leaving Lochapoka" deserve to be considered with Lucinda Williams' best, a best story etched with heartache and insight.

I think I know what electronic classical music is, considering I made an album called Kulture. This does not sound electronic, if it does, it uses drums = not good. It sounds way too classical.

Best of Slave to Love.......2005-09-16

Best of Slave to Love~ Bryan Ferry is a sublime crooner/pop singer with a very unique vocal style. I love the book-let and Ferry is an amazing dresser and wears awesome suits, ties and shirts. The photos are splendid and this has to be one of teh better book-lets that I have seen for a while with easy to read font and excellent photos and lay out. His music is also very well produced and he manages to blend his astounding vocals with great lyrics and musicianship. Songs like Slave to Love, his rendition of Lennons Jealous Guy, and many others like smoke gets in your eyes.

Slave to Love - Import.......2004-06-28

One of the great things about latter day Roxy was that the albums (in particular, "Flesh + Blood" and "Avalon") had such seamless flow to them. Even his more recent solo material had that silky continuity, making them best heard as whole albums. On a CD touted as "The Best Of The Ballads," having the wistful romance of "More Than This" pressed against the endearingly campy "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" becomes something of a distraction rather than an enhancement.

Amazon.com essential recording

Purcell fans will delight in this collection of 30 of his 85 secular songs. Barbara Bonney, singing with ease and controlled fervor, steals the recording with her endearing sound and impeccable musicianship. Soprano Susan Gritton brings a more dramatic perspective, singing with zest and a little edge that almost, but never quite, grates. Sometimes, however, she vibrates mildly out of control. Tenors Charles Daniels and Roger Covey-Crump sing with grace, joviality, and tenderness, but both are a little shallow throughout the bottom. Countertenor James Bowman occasionally stumbles with intonation, but always lands standing upright. This buffet of various voices captivates the listener's attention span, totally avoiding potential monotony. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

Purcell stole my heart.......2001-02-08

Alas, with the help of phenomenally expressive singers on this CD, Purcell has stolen my heart. I listened to this CD a few times then immediately emptied my pocketbook to the nearest consort putting on a Purcell concert. Such poverty is love.
