The line between evangelist and entertainer has always been somewhat indistinct. But as showcased on this 43-track, double-disc collection culled from his '87-'96 recordings for Elektra/Nonesuch/Atlantic, Michael Feinstein's dedication to spreading the gospel of the American song often blurs it beyond recognition. While the singer's pedigree for the task is impeccable (a long-term stint as Ira Gershwin's assistant and early career sponsorship by Liza Minnelli), his interpretations often succeed by playing off a tense axis of fervent emotionalism and a joyous sense of irreverence.

If his readings of romantic standards can sometimes tend toward the precious, they're often balanced here by sheer dramatic power and telling insights ("Isn't It Romantic" fairly bristles with ironic chauvinism) and a few loopy curves ("The Mole People," the Sherman Brothers' "The Ugly Bug Ball," and the previously unreleased "Rhode Island Is Famous for You"). Feinstein's dedicated song archaeology is also showcased on several gems: "Violin," a duet with Liza Minnelli; "My Favorite Year," a rejected ballad for the film of that name; the sublime "lost" Gershwin classic "Ask Me Again."

Sprinkled with live performances (the forum where Feinstein's talents seem most energized) and studio outtakes and featuring a lengthy print interview with the singer, the set chronicles both the pioneering efforts of one of pop music's most successful revivalists and, crucially, the cream of his beloved American songwriters, from stalwarts Gershwin, Berlin, and Porter to later legends like Herman, Styne, Lane, Martin, and Mercer. --Jerry McCulley

Mixed feelings.......2005-10-05

This album has some GREAT songs on it; sophisticated swing being one of my favorites. However many of the other songs are too operatic and lame. I give three stars but this album is definatly worth it just for some of the better songs.

Your love for this superb collection will be here to stay..........2002-07-18

The magnificently talented Michael Feinstein has made one wonderful album after another for nearly two decades. Now that Elektra and Rhino have put together this anthology, I am blown away by the versatility and diversity in Feinstein's recorded output. Such amazing rare gems, combined with the most beloved favorites in the history of American Popular Song. Assembled with wit, intelligence, and obvious affection on the part of the record company, this set is a keeper. You'll love it!

He's done it again.......2002-07-15

Is there anything this man can't sing? This collection is so varied as to be the definitive collection of songs for any occassion.

This is perfect background music for a dinner party for a whole group but especially for two. Light, romantic and just gorgeous. You just can't go wrong when Michael Feinstein is your musical choice.

Way to go Michael, you've done it again!

Absolutely 'S WONDERFUL!.......2002-06-10

There are very few contemporary performers who can hold their own with the truly great interpreters of American popular song. Michael Feinstein is truly the ONLY performer of the "younger" generation who really understands what these songs are all about. His incredible knowledge of this music, and his enthusiasm and passion for it have fueled his career. Rhino Records has done a truly outstanding job of putting together an anthology that exemplifies why Mr. Feinstein has become so beloved by audiences around the world. The packaging is excellent, and filled with interesting photos and background information about many of the selections.

This collection not only contains all the favorites one would expect, but a neat group of surprises too. I especially love the duets with people like Liza Minnelli and Rosemary Clooney, and the various collaborative efforts with songwriters like Jule Styne and Burton Lane accompanying Michael at the piano.

This collection is a classic to be treasured. Bravo Michael!
Bravo Rhino!

A beautiful 2 disc CD-another hit for Michael.......2002-06-09

I have every CD Michael has ever made and this is by far one of the best ones because of Michael's range in singing and his wonderful singing voice. I love his duets with Rosemary Clooney and Liza Minelli. He is a wonderful performer on this double CD and am looking foward to the next CD.

Awesome Vocal Trance Single!.......2003-06-19

Alice Deejay's single is excellent! She has some talent and thats for sure. You cant get sick of this single because all of the awesome remixes that it contains. My favorite track on this single hit is #3 the "Signum Remix". The tracks are wrong on this cd, the original one from the US contains the following tracks:
1)Radio Edit
2)Vocal Clubmix
3)Signum Remix
4)Pronti & Kalmani Vocal RMX
5)Pronti & Kalmani Club Dub
6)Mark Van Dale with Enrico RMX
Riding high on the "Pop-Trance" phenomenon that is currently breaking out of Europe (ie Eiffel 65, Sonique), Netherlands-based Alice Deejay is now poised to take on the US with their worldwide smash "Better Off Alone". The track has become an international anthem about the joys of being single. It has hypnotic vocals entwined around a heavy net of haunting melodies. The result manages to be touching yet refreshing, with a feminine touch of raw and fragile emotion that makes the track stand out from the pack.
I highly recommend this vocal trancer to anyone!

Good techno track.......2001-06-13

Nice techno track, but the beat can get annoying after a while though. Check it out if you haven't heard it yet!

Bouncy Piece Of Dutch Pop.......2001-05-26

Okay, okay. I know everyone already knows everything there is to know about this song. Afterall, in the year 2000 BETTER OFF ALONE became a runaway worldwide smash hit. However, I still feel inclined to give my little opinion of one of the hottest dance songs from last year. Alice Deejay who is really a Dutch DJ named Judy, gives a great performance in one the bounciest little dance songs to come out in a while. This song steers away from your typical Northern European bubblegum pop, and showcases a trancy kind of pop that gets stuck in your head instantly. This is a very nice song with great vocals by Alice Deejay.

Excellent!!.......2000-10-14

This is better than the album by far. All the mixes keep you craving their best song.

Who Needs Guitars Anyway?!.......2000-10-10

BETTER OFF ALONE is the greatest song i have ever set my pretty little ears to! It has such a strong message and great sound! Her voice is gorgeous, the beat is pounding which is excellent for the clubs and the background sound is so kewl! This song is very unique and i'll never get sick of it! It's been stuck in my head for the past 5 months and i'm not ashamed to say that i love it there and don't want it to go away! I reccomend this single to any SANE person who likes a good song to reflect to or just plain GRIND to baby! Love yas!!!

Album Description

2007 CD single from Texas rockers The Black Angels, pulled from their album Passover. 'Better Off Alone' is a sultry, slow jamming slab of droning Blues Rock. This is a band who claim to live in a haunted house, which might explain the spooky atmosphere they manage to conjure up in this song, which pounds out its ominous, Psychedelic beats under singer Christian Bland's southern drawl.

These Two Tracs Will Always be "In my Life"!!.......2002-10-24

Alright, alright, I knew this would happen! These mixes of these songs are beautiful, making it easier for me to become the song! These songs went from cheesy "dance" to pretty decent "trancy, housy" beats! I would give this 5 stars, but I heard these songs over and over, and it just doesn't compare to the deeper, Trancier, Housier tunes I like. But these tracks are much, much better than thier originals!

Back In My Life Kicks (...).......2001-12-17

********************************
First some Back In My Life facts
********************************
The second alice deejay single. Turned out to be a world wide dance hit.
The video was shoot in Iceland. Judy had trouble singing on the video because of the cold. When they had shot the video for two hours, the discovered that there was no film in the camera.
So, they had to do it all over again There are two versions of Back In My Life (the video) The original Dutch video and the U.K video.
Judy seems confused in this video; the death of her husband seems to have affected her in a strange way.
She doesn't know whether to sing at the photographers that have gathered at the funeral, walk along the beach or do a dance routine Back In My Life
-----------------------
My oppinon
-----------------------
This is the best alice deejay single ever.
It contains 4 great remixes and a remix of Better Off Alone which was alice deejay's first release, follows the single.
I got this single, and if you like good dance music, this single is a must for you.

Shes in my life.........2000-08-04

I first heard alice deejay through remixes of the vengaboys. When I bought this cd i was blown away by all the diffrent remixes. Each had its own way of getting me hooked on the beats and the lead singer Judys awesome voice. I would recommend this cd to any techno and dance fans out there.

GREAT TRANCE AND BETTER MIXES.......2000-07-13

This is a good cd single..You should get this cd single insteadof spending $ for the import..:) eventhough on this cd, i think the vocals are a little different toned than the radio version u hear..:) it is still a great track!

my favorite is the 'original style radio mix'.it has that great techno-bleeping action and great underlying beats..:) thanx!

YES!.......2000-06-15

Better Off Alone says it all. Whether your at the club, in your car or dancing in your room by yourself it will move you. Her voice is great and the beat won't leave you alone. You must dance or at least bop your head. It's a great song for girls night out.

wrong name!!.......2000-05-24

I just wanted to say that it's not Alison DJ...Alice DJ sings this song!! Sorry!!

Melodic and repetitive.......2000-04-03

Even though this track has those qualities it still is very catchy and dancefloor pounding!I disc-jockey at a club and by the response to the dancefloor i say this song can be played for a long while.
