5 comments about Jesus Christ Superstar: The 20th Anniversary London Cast Recording.

1. didn't realize that the movie soundtrack differed from the Live production version. This isn't bad, but I prefer the singers in the movie version.



2. I heard this version before I ever saw any of the actual shows. I have since seen the musical twice, both times not as good as this version, though there is something to say for seeing the singers in the flesh. In particular the casting of Judas seems to be quite difficult. It is an extremely challenging part, and in the two shows I have seen, Judas tends to scream and croak throughout the high parts. However this Judas is more than capable of hitting all the notes. The bottom line is every time you see this show it will be different, but I personally find this cast to give phenomenal performances on every song.



3. It really goes to show how performances can make or break a recording. If you're going to have someone carry a musical please make sure he can sing. This Jesus cannot sing. As a whole I actually prefer rock singers to musical theatre singers (especially for this particular show) and even as a rock singer his technique is crap. This is really just my opinion, others may think he's great. But his performance alone made this CD a turn off for me. The Judas is just kind of so-so and the orchestrations are pretty basic.



4. As you all already know, there's been many copies of this Rice and Webbers' muscial, but there hasn't been a cd that contains a more modern stlye of JSC like this one!!
   It has everything one wants in a JSC cd, singers that can really sing,musicians that can really play! When I first bought it,I was excited and happy because I finally bought a good and up to date JSC cd.
   If you want a more up to style JSC cd, BUY THIS ONE!!!!
   
   (Warning: the only thing that made me give this cd 4 stars other than 5 was the sometimes good vocals of Paul Nicholas. I felt that Webber should have recast Paul, he ruined a few good lines in the rock-opera)
   Other than that, BUY IT!!!
   Its like listening to a LIVE production of JSC performed right at your home!



5. WORST JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR CD EVER! THIS IS WORST THAN THE CONCEPT RECORDING! THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS CD! NOTHING! JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR FANS, DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE REALLY COOL TITLE OF THIS CD! IT IS AWFUL! OK, IT HAS ALL THE SONGS, BUT, COME ON!

1 comments about From Swing to Bebop.

1. The History label has put out several box sets of 40 jazz CDs. I have three and plan to buy more.

   Compared to the other two History label box sets I have, The Cradle of Jazz and The Big Band Box, the recordings in From Swing to Bebop are more recent than the other two, and so the sound quality is also markedly improved, although by no means flawless by today's standards.

   As in the other two, this box set gives a good overview of the leading musicians of the time with two CDs by each of Charlie Parker, Django Reinhardt, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Ben Webster, and three CDs of music by Fats Navarro. Notably absent is bebop legend Dizzy Gillespie, although Gillespie can be heard on a few of the tracks featuring other musicians.

   This collection is heavier on swing than it is with bebop, and purists would probably find fault with some of the selections and ommissions. However, given the price, I think any jazz fan can easily supplement gaps left behind in From Swing to Bebop and still save a bundle of cash as compared to trying to buy the music by all of these artists individually.

2 comments about The Essential Mel Tormé.

1. Although I'm a huge fan of Mel Torme, I could hardly hear him or the musicians on these Discs, because the sound quality was so poor. These CD's were made from recordings that were not stereo albums to begin with, so I assume this resulted in what I would characterize as a weak, thin, scratchy, hard to hear sound track.



2. Want something to listen to on a Saturday afternoon whilst dusting and cleaning the pad? Then this is the set for you. All of Mr.Torme's tunes are pleasing and soothing.They don't call him "The Velvet Fog" for nothing! You will truly enjoy this set whether you are an old fan or a newcomer to his music (as I am ). Definitely worth the money!

2 comments about Mega 80's, Vol. 2.

1. Researching this title has uncovered he song that goes "Whatsa Matta You, Gotta no respect?" By a guy named Joe Dolce.
   
   Popular in the early '80s I haven't heard this crazy song in more than twenty years.



2. Good Lord, this is 80's to the max, but on a global scale. This collection has not only many of the american top hits, but also includes the international hits as well. My fave's include tose funky cheeky hits like " Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "One Night in Bangkok" and "Boogie Oogie Oogie". There's even a few live tracks to spruce things up, like Alan Parson's "Eye In The Sky" and David Bowie's "China Girl". Personally, I'm not that familiar with many of the europen hits, but if you are in need of an international 80's fix, you can't get a better collection than this.

2 comments about Best of New Age.

1. I really do like this collection, though I'll admit I'm not as partial to the vocals on it as to the instrumentals. It does contain the exact same 3 CDs that are in the 3-CD release called "Moonlight Moments". There is also a 2-CD "Moonlight Moments" which has just the 2nd and 3rd CDs of this set, which is how I recognized I seemed to have acquired duplicates!



2. I think this is one of the most beautiful new age CD I've ever heard! The songs are beautiful, and the best thing to do is to listen to the CD when you sit on a comfortable armchair with a frozen beer in your hand...

   My suggestion? Try it!
