Painless and Pleasant.......2000-08-19
It's not that I hate opera, it's rather that I cannot handle and entire opera without nodding off. This 4 disc CD provides highlights from the most famous and recognizable arias, i.e., Pagliacci, Carmen, Rigoletto, Madame Butterfly, La Boheme, The Mikado, and H.M.S. Pinafore -- just to mention a few. I appreciate the ability to enjoy select arias from some of the most beautiful and and exceptional operas in the world, and played by first class orchestras, without having to sit through the entire opera.

great cd, passes the time test.......2002-09-27
I bought this cd on a whim, probably in 97, and LOVED it for a couple years, then gave it to a friend who lost it. I've been thinking of it since and went on line to look for it, hence me writing this. I agree with one of the reviews that I read that the Volga song is exceptional... kalinka is great too...
The best collection of this sort of music I have found.......1999-12-12
This collection is superlative. I have not heard the song of the volga boatman performed with such character before.. In fact all the songs are interpreted with unparalleled depth and nuance; notice the attention to detail even in the soft passages. My dad is from Russia, and proclaims it some of the best he has heard anyhwere.

For the classical generalist........2000-09-25
If you are looking to stock your classical musical shelves with a broad range of recognizable pieces, then this disc is for you. Otherwise, this album is not that great. Essentially it consists of the overplayed classical standards that happen to be Polish. If you are looking for a better introduction to modern Polish classical then try "The Varsovia Quartet play string quartets from Poland" (OLYMPIA OCD 328). And hey, if you find it let me know. That particular gem is out of print.

captain beefheart returns-authentic roots music from beyond.......1999-10-27
in an era of more slickly produced pablum from mediocre musicians, this set features excellent musicianship , original, heartfelt songs, and a true connection to those who have gone before, from traffic, frank zappa, and the enigmatic captain beefheart. the guitar work , by t.k. kelly is especially tasty.groove baby.
Good, Well put together.......1999-10-24
This is a good album with good musical ideas floating around. I am just sorry it's labeled under the rock idiom because it is not typical of the 'crap' that has been produced and labeled rock in the past few years. I think a new catagory should be made for more great stuff that comes down 'the pike', like this, in the future. Great effort.
r & b based rock performed by vetran musicans.......1999-10-23
Veteran musicans,seldom recorded launch cd . 6 original songs by bassest Bob Cosgrove and 5 covers. Rocken stuff great for a drive down the 4 lane. Caution this will make you want to get up and dance.

Don't Beware of Little Robbers.......2007-04-11
For the follow up to All Four One, The Motels ran with the pop mainstream sound Capitol Records had pushed on them. Perhaps because of the Apocalypso sessions, All Four One still had a high arty vibe to it; Little Robbers leaves that vibe behind to push it more into the rock/pop of the early 80's. That's not to say Little Robbers isn't a good album because it is. It's really good in fact, but to truly appreciate it I think you have to leave the memory of the greatness that is found on Careful and All Four One and look at the album as a product of itself. Little Robbers launched two of the best singles The Motels ever put out - "Suddenly Last Summer" with its sweeping melancholy vibe of forgotten memories and "Remember The Nights" which follows along the same lines. In fact, the whole of Little Robbers seems to be one of misbegotten youth and long lost love affairs. Opening with "Where Do We Go From Here (Nothing Sacred)", the rock vibe hits you right off lambasting with an eerie keyboard lead which makes you take a whole new look at the cover artwork, a purple and yellow mesh of 20's gangster flicks, once again emulating Martha's stance on "music noir." Album tracks keep up the vibe with the riotous title track, the bouncy "Trust Me" and the excellent take on youth gone wild, "Into The Heartland" co-written with Bernie Taupin, which finds the lead characters of Martha and a girl named Rita on a rampage after stealing a Pontiac. The chorus is as hilarious as the song is rocking, "Rita's fingers fumblin' trying to roll one/ My frozen fingers trying to find a cold one/Tonight we dine on the line and the lone one/As I gun this sucker straight into the heartland." The working person's hum drums are featured on "Monday Shutdown" with a synth driven type writer for a back drop while "Isle Of You" takes a clever turn with it's lyrics (try to escape from the isle of you... as in `I love you'), the final tracks "Tables Turned" and "Footsteps" are exactly what Capitol Records was probably trying to push on the band and onto the radio, pop styling that though written by Martha seem to lack a bit of the creativity and cleverness associated with her best work. Not to say they aren't good songs either, because I bounce and sing along with Martha but after the great songs offered to us by the Motels, they both seem to be rehashed from ideas that have proceeded them. Though kudos have to be given for the cool New Wavey organ solo in "Footsteps."
This should really be reissued and with the bonus cuts of "Some Things Never Change" the b-side of "Suddenly Last Summer" and one of the best Motels songs ever, and the b-side to "Remember The Nights" - "Killing Time."
"Into The Heartland" = one of the best rock songs EVER.......2005-09-08
I loved the Motels first album but I can't say they ever produced anything afterwards that interested me EXCEPT FOR "Into The Heartland" off this album. It's EASILY one of the best, most pure, most solid rock tunes EVER PRODUCED.
It's not Politically Correct and I was amazed it got any airplay (I heard it on the late, great KMET 94.7 FM in LA). It's darn near PEOPLE'S music as opposed to the endless corporate drek we hear everywhere.
Little fingers only trying to roll one, my frozen fingers trying to find a cold one...
As we gun this sucker straight into the heartland.
Maybe it was an happy accident, but they NAILED this song, this is pure rock and roll that is EASILY worth the purchase price of the CD. BUY IT NOW WHILE IT'S STILL IN PRINT. And if you like the Motels, the other tunes are some of their best work.
But, darn, "Into The Heartland" could be a national anthem, it is really right up there with "Born To Run," it's that good, no kidding. BUY IT!!!
Stop Here For The Motels!.......2004-11-22
THIS IS A GREAT ALBUM! MARTHA DAVIS IS SENSATIONAL! I REMEMBER SEEING THEM AT IRVINE MEADOWS IN 1983, AND THEY JUST BLEW ME AWAY WITH THEIR TALENT! IT WAS SO COOL TO SEE LIFE-SIZED CARDBOARD CUT-OUTS OF ALL THE BAND MEMBERS ON STAGE, AND THEN HAVING EACH MEMBER COME OUT FROM BEHIND EACH ONE! AND MARTHA WITH HER CLASSIC CIGARETTE IN ONE HAND AND A GLASS OF RED WINE IN THE OTHER! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! LITTLE ROBBERS WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! A+!
Martha Davis and The Motels were astounding.......2004-04-03
and this is arguably their best record. 'Remember the Nights' was one of the best songs of the 80s and 'Suddenly Last Summer' is pure Motels and anyone wishing to explore their music would be well-served by starting here. (Though all of their albums are brilliant and the same kind of argument could be made for any of them -- this record is just my personal favorite.) Hopefully, there are some live tapes of The Motels out there somewhere which will one day show up on DVD, I'd be a buyer. As one of the best bands of the 80s, I'd love to see The Motels in action.
Ah the memories!.......2003-01-21
I came of age during the 1980s and The Motels are part of the "soundtrack of my life." I used to hear "Only The Lonely" (the track that put them on the map, in my opinion), "Suddenly Last Summer," and "Remember The Nights" on pop radio and they've been on my "favorites list" ever since.
I got "Little Robbers" because it had two out of the three of my favorites, and I liked a couple of the other samples I heard on here.
Of the titles on this CD, "Remember the Nights" is my favorite! It's energetic, and colorful, telling wistfully of wonderful, romantic getaways.
After listening to the CD, I also came to like "Where Do We Go From Here," and "Monday Shut Down" (which apparently doesn't exist on any other Motels CD).
The title track, "Little Robbers" is a playful party tune and it's enjoyable.
All in all I liked half the tracks on this album, which isn't bad.
