4 out of 5 stars Mostly Majestic.......2007-05-17

Most of the tracks were excellent but some were a bit long winded.Tracks by Spencer Wyatt best on the disc and made it all worth while.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent olio of music styles.......2007-02-23

Do you like ethereal New Age? Gotcha covered. Does Boogie piano get your toes a-tappin'? Check. Is Swing more your thing? It's here. All fine reasons to add this sound track to your music collection. As for the movie, I like to think it Carrey's best work. The man has the most expressive face in Moviedom. Regarding the story, it's set in the early Fifties during the rabid Communist scaremongering headed by Senator Joseph McCarthy. One result was the blacklisting of suspected Communists and sympathizers in liberal Hollywood, of which our protagonist Peter Appleton became a victim.

5 out of 5 stars This movie is a slam dunk.......2006-10-29

To hear the roar of the crowd as the player goes in to slam dunk the basketball in the professional sports arenas,this film equals those thrills for the audience as Jim Carrey (Luke Trimble)takes us through the mind of someone that has amnesia and unwittingly becomes the hometown war hero set in 1945 period. Stars abound in this film like character actors Martin Landau and James Wittemore.Boy meets girl,they fall in love,then a twist in the plot as Peter Appleton (Jim Carrey) is accused of being a communist,similar to the Army McCarthy hearings for those old enough to remember.It all turns out like everyone wants.....Ed Lynch 10/29/06

4 out of 5 stars Boogie Majestic.......2003-08-07

This soundtrack is the best soundtrack I have heard in a long time. Bringing the swing big band music was fantastic.I wish they would have included Pennsylvania 6-5000 in the soundtrack though. This by far is the best movie soundtrack next to Swing Kids. So buy this soundtrack. This is real music.

5 out of 5 stars An answer for a question from Texas.......2003-02-15

Music fan from Texas, Yes both songs are there and as strange as it may sound, those where the two songs that cought my attention when I saw the movie. The one with the clarinet is called "Stranger on the shore" while the one with the piano is called "Boogie Woogie Stomp" I believe. The soundtrack as a whole is flawless and I strongly reccomend it.

3 out of 5 stars Average debut from Magic.......2006-07-22

Magic, one of the newer members of No Limit's huge roster, finally drops his debut album. After hearing hiim on C-Murder's albums, I liked his vocie and delivery so I checked this out, and the result was nothing more than average. Like most No Limit releases of this time, there are too many songs and guests (which in his case isn't a bad thing). He only has 4 solo's and 1 song song where someone does the hook, so of the 21 songs, guest rappers are on 16 of them (all No Limit artists as well). Of the 21 songs, I'd say 6 are good, 2-4 I skip, and the rest are average. Production is decent and mostly handled by the Beats by the Pound crew. KLC does 6 songs, O'Dell & Craig B each do 4 songs, Mark Dogg does 3, Mo B Dick, Master P, DJ Daryl, Carlos Stephens each do 1 song. I'd pass this one up unless you're a huge fan of his.

4 out of 5 stars ONE AGAIN THE GUEST RAPPERS MAKE THIS ALBUM.......2006-03-22

MAGIC IS A GOOD RAPPER, HIS VOICE IS TITE, BUT HE CAN'T CARRY THIS ALBUM BY HIMSELF. C-MURDER IS ON A FEW TRACKS, FIEND AND THE REST OF THE SOULJAS OF NO LIMIT. THE ALBUM IS GOOD..NOT GREAT..BUT GOOD. FOR THE RIGHT PRICE THIS ALBUM IS WORTH PICKING UP. ($12 - $15) AT MOST. BUT IF YOU ARE A COLECTER THEN THIS IS A NO LIMIT MUST. IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW THIS.. FIEND,MAC, AND SOULJA SLIM ARE THE ONLY MC'S THAT CAN CARRY AN ALBUM BY THEM SELVES. THOSE THREE ARE A MUST HAVE FOR SURE.

ANYWAY, THIS ALBUM IS GOOD 4/5 STARS.

4 out of 5 stars godzilla.......2003-08-23

The 1st song GHETTO GODZILLA is one of the best songs ever.
This is the best MAGIC LP - his 2nd THUGGIN is not too bad -
But avoid the 3rd lp white eyes.

5 out of 5 stars one of da hottest cd's of 1998.......2003-04-17

Tracks you have to listen to:
DID WHAT I HAD 2 (feat. Mystikal, hypnotic ghetto anthem)
BALL TILL WE FALL (feat. C-Murder, great combination b/w Magic's rough voice & C's softer type of voice, both spittin' game)
MONEY DONT MAKE ME (feat. C-Murder & Soulja Slim, 3 of my favorite rappers of all time in 1 track, and this 1's really hot!)
SKYS THE LIMIT (feat. Mia X & Sons Of Funk, great ballad)
NEW GENERATION (feat. Fiend & Mac, fast crunk-style song with good lyrics)
WHEN DRAMA CAME (feat. Fiend & Snoop Dogg, tight dark thug-style track)
THIS ALBUM IS A MUST-HAVE

5 out of 5 stars Tight as hell.......2003-04-04

this cd is really tight ......all the songs are really good and bring out the best of no limit...there are a couple songs that arent the best but no cd is perfect..if u like no limit then buy this cd u wont be let down

    Clas Yngstrom is a true bona-fide blues/rock axemaster of awesome proportions and he is rite up there with the best of them as one of the greatest Hendrix-inspired guitarists in the world. C.Y. digs in deep and shines throughout on the debut SKY HIGH disc, brimming with style, class, vibe & blues power. Clas is an amazing gifted player who has achieved true greatness on the guitar and deserves all the credit he can get. Make no mistake, Clas Yngstrom is the REAL deal when it comes down to some of the finest Hendrixy blues/rock heavy guitar magic you'll ever hear.

    SKY HIGH has been re-issued and released for the first time on compact disc by GROOVEYARD RECORDS (a new label dedicated to outstanding TOTAL GUITAR music from around the world). Originally released on vinyl in 1980 and recorded with Swedish vocals, the 2005 re-issue version of SKY HIGH features brand-new English vocals for universal appeal plus 3 awesome BONUS TRAX not found on the original version, including 2 killer Hendrix jams that will fry your brain!

    5 out of 5 stars POWER TRIO / HEAVY BLUES ROCK BLISS.......2006-05-25

    Imagine a cross between FREE / GOVERNMENT MULE and HENDRIX and you'd be close. Awesome tracks that capture the essence of the best of POWER TRIO ROCK without sounding retro or jaded. YNGSTROM is an incredible guitarist that covers HENDRIX as well or better than anyone, but here he also shows what a great writer / musiscian he is in his own right. Memorable musik with unforgettable guitar work, whats not to like.
    If you are into the guitar, this has to be in your collection.
    I have just bought a package of GROOVEYARD releases and urge anyone with a passion for the guitar to do the same. JOE ROMAGNOLA ( of GROOVEYARD ) is one of the few people in the musik business that keeps the guitar alive. If you are passionate about real musik in general and the guitar specificaly, support this label.

    Running From the Sky was introduced to me when I went into this incredible store on Newbury in Boston, called The Fairy Shop. It was playing and I was moved to a deep sense of peace and gratitude while in there. I know the music was a part of it. I bought the cd there, brought it home, and her voice makes me remember. What a refreshing, hypnotic, ethereal voice and collection of songs.

    5 out of 5 stars Lily Holbrook - Running From the Sky.......2006-11-10

    An enchanting collection of songs from someone who has a fantasy point of view and a beautiful voice. This is truly magical and definitely something which makes me smile!!

    4 out of 5 stars Good addition for fans.......2005-09-10

    For fans of Lily's latest album, this is a worthy addition. It contains many more acoustic and experimental songs, one of which is a very nice acoustic version of Mermaids. I recommend to buy Everything was Beautiful first (latest album) and then move on to this earlier one.
    Highly recommended for fans of 'eclectic style' singer-songwriter music such as Tori Amos, Heather Nova, Juliana Hatfield, Tanya Donelly, etc.

    5 out of 5 stars Exceptionally good.......2005-08-03

    I bought this album from Lily herself in Santa Monica's 3d Street Promenade a couple of days ago--heard her sing, couldn't stop the feelings, bought the CD. Exceptionally heartfelt and real songs--if you're into modern folk/singer-songwriter stuff, this is a must. And Lily got some more excellent songs up her sleeve--like the one she was singing when I stopped by (I giess it's called "The Last Day Of Our Acquaintance"). Good luck to her, she's talented, beautiful and really, really good!

    5 out of 5 stars Beautiful debut for a wonderful young woman.......2004-04-06

    I met Lily as she sang her heart out on the street in San Francisco-- her glorious voice and lifting guitar amazed me. She's as sweet as her music, and it's twice as nice to see her live. I wish her great success!

      5 out of 5 stars Moravian songs, via Janacek, Godar, Bittova and Skampa.......2006-05-09

      This is a unique recording of Janacek's transcriptions of Moravian folk songs. Originally for piano and voice, they have been transcribed by Slovak composer Vladimir Godar for string quartet and (occasionally) three-voice male chorus. Here they are performed by renowned Czech singer and violinist Iva Bittova, accompanied by the Skampa Quartet and chorus. The effect is not so much of classical liede, but of authentic eastern European "popular" songs - the sonority of the string quartet adds to this in no small part. Janacek would be proud.

      2 out of 5 stars Skampa Quartet is great - the singer... yikes.......2005-07-28

      I honestly did not know what I was getting myself into when I bought this CD. I love Janacek, I love folk songs... how could I go wrong? Iva Bittova! I was concerned that she would have a 50yr old woobly voice, but instead what exists is a thin VERY nasal tone... perhaps she should be singing traditional Bulgarian music! The voice is expressive, just ugly.
      The recording quality is not very good, either. On many of the tracks, Iva seems to be muffled and in the background of the recording.
      Really - dont waste your time and money, unless you really would just like to have a recording of over 50 Janacek songs.

          Product Description

          "Child and Magic" is Takemura's homage to childhood. It is his most bold and daring work. Throughout he playfully mixes genres and styles to almost create new themes for childhood. References to other places come from all over the map, advertising jingles, drum and bass, washes of noise, and field recordings form part of the work. The disc is saturated with a sense of wonder, it joyfully moves from different musical places to new ones creating a feeling of spontaneity. A sense or impression of chance adds to the playful nature of this disc. The sounds are never awkward or cold. I know of very few things to compare it to-for once his vision is unique. In a different, non-electronic, context the work of The Penguin Café Orchestra comes to mind. I am reminded of them in this work because if his sheer inventiveness and happiness. His experiments never come across as chilling or brooding. There are so many good tracks on this disc that it is hard to single out any. Each piece is unique and should be treated as such. Takemura meshes, scratches, tapes and compresses sounds into and onto each other. Field recordings and natural instruments are electronically put together to create a uniform vision filled with chance and wonder.
