Customer Reviews:

uneven cd--when great, fabulous; when not so great--mediocre.......2007-06-26

the doors have a great keyboardist in manzarek and a pretty great guitarist in krieger but it is morrisons lyrics and driving wild beat that makes it flow and makes it great. the early doors are the best; really tight. unfortunately, in later years morrison went a little overboard into excess and wildness and uncommunicativeness. but the doors are one of the great rock bands of their era.

great value for the money.......2007-03-24

if you like the doors, this is the one album to get. it contains ALL the great ones without breaking the pocketbook or having to listen to all their "filler" stuff.

Excellent album.......2007-03-19

This is the best compilation album put out by the Doors. Period. If you are a fan of the Doors who wants every album, or just wants the hits, this is the album for you. Legacy captures almost every hit put out by the Doors. Each song is crisp, clear, complete, and they are also in chronological order, which is cool too. Definitely a fantastic album to get. I recommended it to any fan of the Doors, or of classic rock in general.

Excellent collection and sound.......2007-02-17

This is the absolute best set to get. The song selection is awesome and the remasters job sounds excellent. Very crisp and clean.

Also, "Gloria" is a definite plus.

Hello, I Love This!.......2007-02-08

Great compilation. I love it that they are all full length studio versions. Also it's great having them in chronological order with great liner notes and info about each song. I wish they would have left off the 17 minute long "Celebration of the Lizard" -- this is a real dog. They could have replaced this with the nearly 9 minute title song from "The Soft Parade" which has an incredible funky middle section. Also could have included "Take It As It Comes" from their first album - a very overlooked song.

This is a band that had about 90-100 minutes of classic stuff - the best of rock, really - but the rest of their material was pretty marginal if not downright bad. So, all their best can't fit on one CD, yet 2 CD's can't help but contain a little filler. I'd rather have that than just 1 CD. But it would have been nice to have a remastered version of "The Soft Parade"

Al Green's Best!.......2007-02-14

This CD has it all. The very best of Al Green is just that. If you want a great CD this is it. I love this CD. Do not hesitate to buy it!

Al Green At His Best.......2007-01-24

This album gets most of the best of Al's early recordings,but it missed a few. All in all this is a good collection of the best of Al Green.

Have I been asleep?.......2006-07-24

Just seen him live in Brooklyn NY,which compelled me to go out and buy this timeless Jewel. The show was pretty awesome as well. I've always heard the usual radio tracks and knew he was probably someone very special,musically,but after seeing him then picking up this double disk, I now realize that of course his voice is like silk but the bands music was just pure Brillance.
As I listen to these timless great tracks it's easy to get lost in either his voice,the words,the organ,the rhytym guitar,the horns or the Drums. It like their either all working or theirs a standout instrument,the Voice and the words are always their.
Like in "I'm Still in love with you" it's possible to get lost in any one of these elements
but what really stands out is the Drums,the way he sets the tempo,changes it then comes back to it,while everyone else comes in and out one at a time is just something to marvel at.an audiophiles dream,their's just so much to listen to in this one track catching it once in a while on the radio could never do it justice,and I'm sure you could say that about anyone of these 34 tracks,they each have something special about them and Al is always just right there, steady and smooth.
In concert this past week his vocal was strong and steady and on few occasions while he was singing songs like "Lets get Married" and "Simply Beautiful" he looked like he took a short trip to that other place, the place few of us get to,while alive.
He was still in total control of the voice,mic and the crowd.
It's not just my Farthers music anymore.
I"m so glad he's still with us.

Minister of Soul..........2005-04-20

I grew up on a steady diet of Al Green and I always said when I got my own place, I would never listen to an Al Green song, nor would I eat okra! Well at least, I kept to one of those promises I made myself! I refuse to eat okra but as far as Mr. Green, well he's down in my bone marrow, so I have no choice. It's amazing as much as I cried about Saturday morning house cleaning while listening to Al Green, it turns out that I have become my mother! I do exactly as she did...I wake up on Saturday mornings put on my Al Green and commence to cleaning my house, from top to bottom. The only difference is that its not an 8 track and I don't use Pine Sol or Ajax! Isn't it strange how we come full circle!

Anyway..this is a classic collection of great soul music...treat yourself..bring in something new, or visit something tried and true! This CD contains great rare hits like "Belle" and "Full of Fire", most compilations don't usually include those 2 tracks. I'm glad they finally did a two disc set of his music...that has all the great radio hits and plenty of rare and off the beaten path tracks too! I love Al Green, and as much as I tried to get away from him, it's amazing how I ended up happily with him, just like an old trusty blanket!

Oh and this CD also has two of my all time favorite Al Green songs..,"Livin' For You," and "You Ought To Be With Me." They could have added his version of "Pretty Woman," but this set doesn't lack because it isn't here, just a personal choice of mine. Other classic rare cuts: "I've Never Found A Girl," and "I Can't Get Next To You."

Please, please, take my advice: Run...don't walk to purchase these classic gems! You will never regret the decision to add Mr. Soul Man himself in all his splendid glory to your music collection. He personifies Gritty Soul!

saved my life.......2005-02-10

i have been in a world of darkness now since al showed me the light he has saved my life and kept me happy instead of sad. i used to try to kill myself but this cd helped me out alot

What an inspiration!.......2005-07-03

As a "newie" to Christian music, Carman was an artist I could not pass up. I had the opportunity to hear "Serve the Lord" and "Fear Not My Child" through a friend...and immediately ran out and bought the CD myself. The entire CD is terrific. Highly recommend.

YOU JUST FOUND THE CD YOU'RE LOOKING FOR!!!.......2003-11-28

This is an AWSOME Carman CD. It includes REALLY good soft songs, and REALLY cool rock songs. I listen to this CD almost every night as I go to sleep. If you are looking for a good Carman CD (or any good CD at that,) you just found it!

Carman - "The Absolute Best".......2002-08-31

What an apt title for this amazingly talented songwriter and singer. Carman is, simply, 'the absolute best' when wanting to listen to deep spiritual, yet contemporary music. I am in my sixties and yet enjoy all his wonderful music. What I particularly find great about this artist is that he appeals to the old and the younger generation. His double album "Heart of a Champion" I have found to be a wonderful CD to lend to teenagers who are struggling with their relationship with Christ. His album "I Surrender All" is also a great rendition of the old hymns and choruses that many of us grew up with. He is just so versatile!!

the best.......2001-06-10

Carman sends such a strong message of his love for the Lord and the Lords love for us.I think this album is the very best of Carman..He is blessed of Jesus Christ..I just hope young and old get the chance to hear the message thats sent forth..love in jesus

A Carman Fan from Hawaii.......2000-03-17

Love this CD! Carman's singing has the ability to touch the heart of a Christian soul. Very uplifting when you have those days when you feel defeated. I highly recommend this CD to anyone.

It's been years since my sisters and I sat on the floor and listened to all the Bay City Roller songs over and over and over. Sometimes singing along, other times dreaming they were right in our homes or in our arms. Fabulous, free and exciting days gone by...I no longer own a record player and no longer listened to these songs - until I got this CD. UM UM UM back on the ROLLER WHEEL!! I remember all the crazy love I felt about them and their music - Know what? I still feel it....it's great!

If you think these songs are familiar, with a familiar arrangement, you are right. This CD is IDENTICAL to "Bluegrass From Heaven: The Essential Gospel Collection, Various Artists". If you already own the latter, don't bother purchasing "The Absolute Best of Bluegrass Gospel". Actually, the music is 5-stars *****, I just considered it deceitful marketing to re-release a CD under a different name.

Album Description

Like every musical genre these days, House is undergoing transformation. Internationally acclaimed producer and DJ, Julius Papp, leads this metamorphosis with his newest release, Loveslapped by Julius Papp. Julius presents three tracks, along side other Loveslap artists who believe House should be a musical journey containing all the emotions, feelings and elements of real life. Moving away from the common "colder" synth-based sounds long associated with the genre towards the integration of more live instruments and organic sounds, Julius purposefully tells a story with his song composition and selection.

Building on his early musical influences from the 1970's when disco, soul and rock all coexisted on the same radio stations, Julius expanded his musical interests over the years to include everything from dance to old school funk to hip hop and jazz. With this eclectic culmination in mind, he developed a smoother edge, a deeply soulful soothing style of House that is captured in this new release.

Over the past decade, Julius has played radio, maintained packed residencies, and toured throughout the world. For this exciting new mixed CD, Julius drew exclusively from the Loveslap catalog and family of artists to create his realization of how it feels to be Loveslapped by Julius Papp.

Customer Reviews:

Julius Papp continues to inspire!.......2006-12-21

I've known few exceptional creative talents in my lifetime and even fewer geniuses.
Julius Papp is the only person on both lists.
His vision is always out ahead and around the corner, never redundant or static.
If you talk to him ask him to call me before I sell the story surrounding his first ever commercial offering to the National Enquirer.
Just the story because I still enjoy the tape to this day.
I know the way to San Jose!

the V.I.P. of House CDs.......2003-04-16

Loveslapped! by Julius Papp is all that I've ever wanted in a house mix: consistent, soulful, inspired and sexy. It's the essence of a pretty-people pool party in L.A. and a glowing sunset in Ibiza. All of the right elements of style and passion have been craftily mixed together by Julius Papp. This is the V.I.P room of house mix CDs.

Master of love and groove.......2002-10-03

Julius, you've come a long way baby.
Still the master from back in the day.

Nothing else compares to this experience!

3.5 for deep house done right.......2002-08-20

Way, way underground and for some time Julius Papp's been putting his fingers on some of the finest deep house music around. Last year's darling Esho Funi v1 would have made even the scantily clad Naked Music gals flush with envy, as the handful of alert buyers who snatched up that barely-marketed jewel well know.

Here, Papp again attaches himself to another American micro-label, Loveslap! Recordings, a family of a few highly talented individuals. He leads with his elegant guitar ballad "A Flower Blossoms," quickly trumped by the exquisitely backed vocals from Carrie on sweet love story "Adore" from Santillan, Gray and Brann. Vocal pieces and instrumentals are held in balance, with novel surprises (the French soul of "Belle et Bete") and occasional foray into jam band territory (the organic approach to "Rial".) Final nods go for the guitar-led groover "All I Do."

Except for some unwelcome keyboard interludes on "Azziza" and "Grace," Loveslapped is deep house done right, flowing together in a warm haze but with enough chops for the dance floor.

Reference Material.......2002-08-19

This is an excellent CD for the quality of production alone. Use this CD when testing new equipment or when you just need to put something on that will have you humming, smiling and probably cutting up the rug. The careful listener will hear a thing or two that they have not heard before. It's a mix cd so the tracks encompass a broad range of moods and tastes from soulful accoustic to mental electronic. The remix of "Adore" is a superb track which beautifully combines the best aspects of both worlds. Too often a CD like this one relies to heavily on a few big tracks but this disc is produced beautifully and the mood that is set never falters and great music is skillfully delivered until the end. It's not often that you hear a break or a revved up chorus and you lose your train of thought while conversing with friends but parts of this CD do that to me everytime.
