5 out of 5 stars Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

5 out of 5 stars Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

5 out of 5 stars Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

3 out of 5 stars Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

4 out of 5 stars Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

1 out of 5 stars A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

5 out of 5 stars "Turn Me On - Deadman".......2007-05-02

Ahhh...Beat Happening! Fun. Deep & Lazy(beach-like)Music.
They just kept getting better with each album they released. Although I do Love their s/t debut with the Bonus tracks - "You Turn Me On" may be my Favorite - all songs just sound warm and full of life!
All throughout Beat Happening's catalauge you notice the same subject matter, which hasn't changed much: Love and loss and Death - kind of similiar to The Vaselines. Both bands have a guy/girl duo with wonderful vocals. Although The Vaselines bring up drugs and religion a bit more. Both bands at times sound Punk to me. The Vaselines sound a bit more Poppy and grungy.

"Tiger Trap" starts off this album with a Grunge shinin'-shoegazin'- guitar sound and Calvin Johnson's mellow inviting voice, not seen as much in earlier releases.
- Although Calvin wrote "Sleepy Head" - Heather sings this song so beautifully. Definitely one of my Favorite Beat Happening songs. A simple & beautiful indie song and a trademark for the Band at least IMO after hearing all of their albums.
Another reviewer wrote the fact that "Hey Day" should close this album and I would agree. It just seems like the Perfect closer. That would be my only gripe on this otherwise perfect release.
"Godsend" and "Noise" may be my other favorite songs; both also sung by Heather who really adds beauty to Calvin's deep vocals.
"You Turn Me On" released in 1992 is Beat Happening's Final album and to me it is their Best!
This Olympia trio begun in the early '80s and released their debut in '85.
Beginning with a lo-fi minimalist sound and slightly progressed with each LP after.
-"You Turn Me On" just sounds more complete with substance and maturity. Simply Beautiful and Oh so Relaxing.

5 out of 5 stars What's forbidden; has been boldly bitten.......2006-08-21

"Tiger Trap" starts out this album. Firstly, this album is a recent favorite, but I find myself finding more and more inside of it during each listen. Calvin's vocals took warming up to (the "creak of a coffin" is a good analogy as any), but tracks like "Noise" and "Sleepy Head" immediately took me in. Concerning the first track now, there's much to take in. Being nearly seven minutes, it breaks the usual twee-pop standard of short tracks populated by quick choruses. Not here, though. The lyrics stroll out and I have to say I really respect the group for putting this track first, as it's quite an appreciated listen; it sets the stage for the rest of the album and what is to be said.

"Pinebox Derby" revolves around a simple drum beat strummed chords, but behind them you can faintly hear a soaring of feedback which compliments the monotone vocals nicely. "Teenage Caveman" picks up where it leaves off (I'd bet money these are the same chords, here)--its upbeat, but sappy and gets even sadder on repeated listens. This may just be my perception talking here, but I think this is slowly becoming the least favorite track for me solely because of how depressed it makes me feel. Still, it's not without its moments. Lewis' vocal harmonies during the choruses are so uplifting as to give an entirely different attitude to the song. She's upfront for the next track, "Sleepy Head", once again with simple lyrics that are the embodiment of the indie twee spirit. ("So get up you sleepy head/ It's time to make the bed/ At least get partially dressed.") Like all of the tracks on this album, this one provides something unique and familiar at once, and it's so lovable. Not to skip over the title track, but I'd rather talk about "Godsend". At over nine minutes, this is Beat Happenings longest, and also best, song. The guitars fill whatever void this album had, or whatever void I feel as I listen to it. Again, Lewis' vocals and lyrics are truly a godsend; they're warm and they make me want to raise a large glowing object into the sky. The vocals go from being nearly a whisper to being lifted by a crane above anything else here. ("I see a tear in your eye/ you don't know why/ you're a godsend.")

"Hey Day" and "Bury the Hammer" I feel should be coupled together, with the latter being another highlight of their entire catalogue. By this point you will realize that the whole album is probably made of four chords, but you also won't care because of how much of a masterpiece of a pop album this is. The title is sung over and over again at the end, and it's weight is so objective that you'll feel that this is the best pop album ever made. It probably is.

5 out of 5 stars My inclination would normally be..........2005-12-25

God, I am a pretentious jerk I HATE the fact that I'm giving the one "other than minimally produced" Beat Happening record 5 Stars...but there it is. This record is brilliant. Though I love even the cutesiest Glasgolympia crap, this is another creature entirely: powerful, adult, redeeming. If you've tried other Beat Happening records and had difficulty tuning in, do try this one.

5 out of 5 stars Career zenith of a band with many great albums.......2004-08-18

Unlike many bands, the more albums Beat Happening made, the better they got. This is the way it is supposed to be, but unfortunately it doesn't usually happen that way. You Turn Me On, to date the final Beat Happening album, shows a level of maturity that the average listener would have had no right to expect, based on their previous, more fun-oriented, recordings. To start with, the songwriters have all but eschewed the three-minute song, and three tracks exceed six minutes, with "Godsend" topping out at nine.

Jangly guitar starts off "Tiger Trap" with a mellowness that we've not seen before in the Happening. Calvin restrains his signature baritone's usual forcefulness but keeps the loving disposition of yore during the one-line chorus of "when I saw you." This song, along with several others on You Turn Me On, have not one but two (count 'em: two!) guitars playing in harmony. The heavier production from regular producer Steve Fisk (with Stuart Moxham of the influential Young Marble Giants) benefits the band wonderfully, also giving Heather's "Noise" vocals an ethereal quality they lacked previously.

The subject matter has not changed dramatically from Beat Happening's previous releases: there are still the love songs and the death songs, sometimes in the same song. How Calvin connects the idea of a children's DIY race ("Pinebox Derby") into the death dirge of that other "pine box" is a prime example of the creativity that comes from this band, and a major reason that they are one of my favorites. The title track combines love and death in one with its Beatles "Paul is dead"-inspired chorus (reportedly what could be heard while playing the beginning of the White Album's "Revolution #9" backwards). Calvin growls "Turn me on dead man" repeatedly and with an intensity that belies the band's surface innocence. (For more dark songs, see Black Candy and selected songs from the rest of the BH oeuvre.)

During repeated listens of these albums, I have come to appreciate Heather's contributions to the band's mix (it's difficult to know what Bret adds, as his offering is understated). Her You Turn Me On songs are no different. "Sleepy Head" is beach music extraordinaire and "Godsend" is, quite simply, an epic of minimalist proportions. Had Calvin sung "Sleepy Head" (which would normally be expected, since he wrote it), it would be an entirely different song. This way, its inherent sweetness shines through. "Godsend" continues this tack, with lyrics that most folks would love to hear being sung about themselves by the one they love -- idealized portraits of love's rose-colored vision. Despite its extreme length, a shorter running time would not have achieved the same blissful effect. I'll even posit that it could go on for six more minutes will no ill effects. It represents the fruition of Beat Happening's musical progression. They have learned the persuasive power of repetition and are not afraid to use it.

"Teenage Caveman" is a rumbling beat-driven romp, featuring Heather's backing of Calvin on the chorus, that allows the band to truly "rise to the top" while they "trade spit till it hurts." Calvin sings Heather's lyrics on "Hey Day" and this is the first song that really sounds like a song from the 1990s, with its heavy melodic-yet-grinding groove. "Bury the Hammer" is solid as well, but I would have preferred it to be placed somewhere else in the mix. "Hey Day" is the ideal ender for this album.

You Turn Me On is the qualitative hight point of Beat Happening output, showing that much more could have been expected from this Olympia trio, had they the interest to keep it going. In that case, we'll have to stick with what we've been given and see Beat Happening as the epitome of the understandably influential, utterly groundbreaking, never overstated, eros-thanatos indie punk band.

    Album Description

    Alternative Tentacles is proud to announce the release of Technicolour Mother, San Francisco's Turn Me On Dead Man's anticipated follow-up to God Bless the Electric Freak (Virus 340). TMODM's sophomore effort expands on their signature soundscape of psychedelic peaks and heavy metal/stoner rock depthsÑ"heavydelic" is the band's contribution to the lexicon of music genresÑoffering a more diverse cadre of songs than their debut. The seemingly unlikely team of Eli Crews (Beulah) and Tim Green (Nation of Ulysses, Fucking Champs)Ñwith TMODM frontman and songwriting wizard Mykill Ziggy at their sideÑrecorded and produced Technicolour Mother, adding yet another layer to the musical complexity with bigger, fuller production than their debut. Simply put, Turn Me On Dead Man plays heavy crush bliss rock breaking the sound barrier on their own private Lear jet headed straight to hell. So put on your headphones, turn up the volume, and let us turn you on to a place where Rock is religion, and religion is loud!

    5 out of 5 stars Great collection of remixes for the reggae/dance track........2004-10-11

    Finally Atlantic got off of their behinds and put this major pop record out on a cd single with the remixes that were dance floor favorites. This song went to the Top 20 on the club Play chart but was a number one Dance Airplay track for over 6 weeks on that chart. So when this cd single was released it went in at number one Dance Sales knocking George Michael's "Flawless" out. The cd single comes with 5 full dance mixes and 2 radio versions of 2 of the full mixes, They range from flat out house to a reggae inspired house mix. My favorite mix is the Low Tide mix which is most like the original in sound and vibe and is the reason for the 5 stars alone. Excellent mix.
    1- E-Smoove Mix (7:17)
    2- Lenny B. Mix (5:40)
    3- Low Tide Mix (5:09)
    4- Bastone & Burnz Mix (6:20)
    5- Dj Volume 's North Bank Mix (6:03)--this mix along with the Low Tide Mix features the vocals of Spragga Benz which are not on the other mixes.
    6- Lenny B Radio Edit (3:13)
    7- Low Tide Radio Edit (3:14)
    A fun cd of remixes. The Low Tide Mix being the best.

    5 out of 5 stars Too cool for some.......2005-02-22

    Julianne Baird is breathtakingly good at what she does: intelligent, stylistically convincing, technically brilliant ornamentation, in a sweet, phenomenally accurate voice. I love it. Those not accustomed to this sort of thing, though, may find it lacking emotional immediacy. Consider also Kathleen Battle with some of the same material: not that she's better, but the appeal is more directly sensual rather than intellectual.

    5 out of 5 stars Ethereal and Hauntingly Beautiful.......2003-11-05

    How could you go wrong with the clear seraph voice of Julianne Baird accompanied by the delicate skill of Ronn McFarlane on the Lute. Not only is the talent exceptional but the composed works of Lute music divine.

    You listen to each song and are carried away to time/place devoid of any worry let alone any task other than to listen to Julianne and Ronn execute perfection. You truely feel part of the Elizabethan Court listening to this CD it is both beautiful and dark simutaneously.

    Another fabulous feature to this CD is the simplicity of the recording of only lute and vocals with no special effects. To retain the warmth and purity of the composition it was recorded on location in 'The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall' in Upstate New York and is one of the finest acoustical settings in the world. Unlike modern pop music Lute music as written needs no manipulation or adjustment in the studio if executed by skilled artists and musicians in an acoustical atmosphere and this recording does exactly that.

    I highly recommend this CD of beautiful music. It truely will evoke deep feeling and emotion.

    4 out of 5 stars Mellow take on the Lips........2007-03-24

    This album is very interesting. I had been a skeptic of the string tributes for a long time. I'm a huge Flaming Lips fan, so when I found this for real cheap I picked it up. It is really quite soothing. Plus all the melodies are already familiar. Definately not an essential album but a nice one anyway.

    5 out of 5 stars Turn Me On is really a Great Record!.......2002-01-24

    This is one of those releases that grew on me over time. At first it seemed a bit boring compared to their past early releases, but after a while I just couldn't stop listening, especially 'Nothing Inside', 'Slip Away', and 'i Never Liked You'. Very powerful and emotional catchy heavy rock, with great guitar work and lyrics!! I enjoy this much more than their previous release "Crush" and wish they were still active as a band.

    4 out of 5 stars Long live the Doughboys!.......2001-09-13

    This album really delivers on so many levels. First of all, the production is great. As for the sound;... solid songs lead by driving guitars, and excellent heartfelt vocals. This is a very personal album by the Doughboys that really showcases their true ablity as musicians. Some great songs that will make anyone who listens wish they were still around today. Fans of Samiam or Swerverdriver should check this great band out.

    5 out of 5 stars Doughboys Melodic Punk.......2001-06-30

    The Doughboys have been a favourite of mine for years, I was lucky enough to see them live, go buy this album and tape it for your friends, then go and buy 'whatever'.

    5 out of 5 stars an absolutely great freaking album........2001-06-20

    an absolutely great freaking album. that's it. that's all.

    4 out of 5 stars Nearly unknown in Germany.......2000-05-30

    In Germany nearly noone knows this band. Bad luck for everyone to be included to that group. I think this band and the turn me on album is to be known. Great songs, great voice, not only nice.
