SFTG for the ages.......2007-07-06

I have been a huge fan since their debut on Two AD. They continue to put out quality music time and time again. Cool grooves and deep beats to ease the stresses of the day.

HOW CAN THEY POSSIBLY OUT-DO THIS CD....IT SIMPLY CAN'T BE DONE!THIS MUSIC WILL TAKE YOU PLACES ONLY YOUR IMAGINATION CAN TRAVEL.I LISTEN TO THIS CD CONSTANTLY AND EACH AND EVERY TIME GET SOMETHING "DIFFERENT" FROM EACH AND EVERY TRACK....IT'S VERY OBVIOUS THEY DO WHAT THEY WANT WITHOUT PARAMETERS....KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT INNOVATIVE 'SOUNDS'FROM THE GROUND!I LOVE THIS BAND!THEY KNOW HOW TO TRANSCEND YOU EMOTIONALLY AND SPIRITUALLY! RANDAL

Heady Sonic Journey.......2007-03-13

At first spacious and melodic, High Rising soars into a sensual chillout mood with a sexy smooth appeal. "Slate Grey" is slightly more edgy at first, then warms and slips somewhere between a melodic hum and a static symphony of mind penetrating echoes that seems to melt into a flock of sonic birds rising from rolling waves of sound. Quite intriguing actually and this leads into a world fusion experience with soulful dub intoxication. The urban vibe is slightly exotic and inviting.

The audibly exciting "Beautiful Feeling" has a intimate hypnotic effect with vocals by Taz to create a mesmerizing crystalline ambience. "Modo" seems to capture some of the energy from "Beautiful Feeling" and "Slate Grey" but has a more rapid trajectory with ambient techno flourishes and barely audible vocals that lead into a trippy journey.

The echo and reverb in "Palmprint" is audibly intriguing and I liked the spontaneity of the electronic harmonica-like sounds in this track. "Blink" is more down to earth with drums and mixing perfection. "Speedbumps" is appropriately named because you are suddenly awaken from your sonic daze and propelled into a sophisticated electronica playground with sexy trajectories. "Allsorts" presents a mysterious conclusion that seduces you right back into listening to the album again. This is the type of album I dream about. High Rising is audibly delicious!

~The Rebecca Review

Excellent as always. It's always nice to acquire a recording that has all very listenable tracks.

Phenomenal.......2007-01-03

If you like Chillout or any other music that inspires thought provoking emotional depth then buy this CD. Its mind blowing. I cant even describe it. My fave is Beautiful Feeling.

It's been 14 years since Michael Brook did a proper solo album, Cobalt Blue, but that doesn't mean the guitarist has been absent from music. He's produced and performed on pop recordings by Julia Fordham and Jorane and made numerous albums for the Real World label, including signature releases by the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Djivan Gasparyan, and Hukwe Zawose. He's also composed and performed on film scores and was part of Hans Zimmer's soundtrack posse, contributing notably to Black Hawk Down, among others. He throws all of that into his new album, RockPaperScissors, which could've been called RockPaperScissors and Whatever, as Brook slices up a career's worth of influences and drops them in one load--albeit an elegant one. Lebanese violinist Claude Chalhoub turns in a mournful duet with Brook on "Tangerine," singer Paul Buchanan shows up on the title track, and a Bulgarian choir turns up incongruously on a dreamy, '60s style guitar instrumental, "LightStar." There are King Crimson-like guitar grooves on "3 Doges," and on "Darker Room," a spoken-word sample of Richard Burton performing Dylan Thomas's "Under Milk Wood," quoting the "Starless and bible-black" line that Crimson connoisseurs will note as the title to a one of their albums. Given Brooks's extensive work as a film composer and session artist, it makes sense that much of the disc has a cinematic quality, with many tracks featuring a full orchestra. Excepting Lisa Germano's haunting turn on "Want", the other two vocal tunes drag. Rather than honing a sound, as he did with Cobalt Blue, RockPaperScissors brims with too many ideas, as if Brook thought it might be another 14 years till his next album and he had to get it all out now. --John Diliberto

Bold, Beautiful, Haunting.......2006-10-26

So compelling is this CD that on the rare occasions when the house empties, the first thing I do is turn on RockPaperScissors. It requires closer attention; one listening and you are entranced-at least I was. Then it resonates within you. Oh, Tangerine is so sweet and haunting. The Bulgarian Orchestra, Bulgarian Classical Choir, the Cosmic Voices- wow, it adds such a large dramatic sensation. I Loved Richard Burton doing Dylan Thomas in Dark Room. Bold, Beautiful, Haunting.

Wow........2006-08-09

I heard Mr. Brook on Weekend Edition, thought he sounded like a great guy and I wanted to support him and his new album he spoke so eloquently about. RPS, as I call it now, came a couple days ago, and this might be a bit cheesy, but I believe this album to be magical. Somewhat a musician myself I am amazed at the seamlessness and gorgeousness of transitions every time I listen to any piece on this record. Brook very masterfully goes from electric guitar to an orchestra to a Bulgarian choir and it's so great that 1. I wish I had written it and 2. why doesn't everyone put a Bulgarian choir on their album!? It's just really beautiful. I can't even pick my favorite piece because honestly my answer changes every time I listen to it.

Supposedly this new album is a slight departure from previous works, if other online reviews are to be believed, and if it is, it is a departure to beauty and lushiness and exquisite detail that is so very worth listening to.

sublime razors' edge.......2006-08-01

I am a longtime and loyal fan of Michael Brook. I believe him to be a brilliantly innovative and creative musical force. I was extremely excited when I heard he was coming out with a long overdue solo release.

'Cobalt Blue' is still one of my all-time favorites and his collaborations with Nusret Fateh Ali Khan and Djivan Gasparyan are equally powerful and compelling offerings. All masterpieces.

Brook has such a unique way of structuring his compositions, and when coupled with his experimental sonic approach it's just breathtaking. So many unpredictable and engrossing sounds, but not in a self-important way. It is very mindful of the vast expressive sea in which he swims in.

Upon repeated listenings within the past few days, I have to say that that "RockPaperScissors" is very captivating and engaging. Though I also enjoyed it upon first listen, I somewhat agree with the other review below that it didn't fully sink in upon first listen. I'm glad it didn't. I usually find that the greatest work - music that penetrates deeply and lasts over time - usually has to possess this enigmatic quality. Michael Brook has captured it in spades.

I also read the critical review and see that person's point; the album at first is a bit wide in its scope. Yes, it is representative of Brooks' entire oeuvre, but in the best of ways. Even Brook describes it as a 'travelogue'. In the end, it absolutely adds up to much more than the sum of its parts, and thus, it is great art.

However, I don't believe that the particular reviewer who wrote that review allowed himself the pleasure of repeatedly listening to this sublime recording. There are many layers here, both sonically and vibrationally (if you know what I mean), which cannot possibly be absorbed in one or two surface listens. It is also important to be in the 'right' environment and headspace to openly receive this type of reverent music.

Having heard "RockPaperScissors" now seven or eight times I fully 'get it'. It truly is a masterpiece. In some ways better than other previous albums, but only time will tell.

Though I love the entire collection of songs, highlights for me are: "Strange Procession" is classic Brook, with abrupt changes in tempo and haunting guitar notes. "Doges" is a polished and primal ethno-trance sure to pull you into the jungle muse. The title track, "Rock Paper Scissors" even works for me; Buchanans' voice works perfectly with Brooks' sonic weave . "Light Star" perfectly builds into crescendos with the assistance of a surprising contrasted Bulgarian chorus. Again it totally works, very well I may add. "Silverized" is my favorite; it's just gorgeous and terribly beautiful. It reminds me a bit of Eno & Lanois' "Deep Blue Day" from "Apollo" soundtracks, which may simulataneously be the most inspiring and deeply sad song ever recorded.

I only hope we don't have to wait another 14 years for Brook to come out with another solo recording. He is far too gifted and amazing to just allow those he works with to take centerstage. Shine on Michael Brook! Thanks for all of your creative energy, it is very appreciated.

P.S. For those who may be interested, check out an interview NPR had with him on Sundays 'Weekend Edition' (July 30, 2006). Nice insight and very humbling indeed.

Really really beautiful.......2006-07-28

The first time I listened to this new album I quite liked it but wasn't blown away. A fellow Brook fan told me to give it one more listen and as I did I was fascinated by a billion details that I'd missed on the first time around. I was amazed and yes, blown away. It's a gorgeous piece of work ---- Tangerine in particular. It's all stunning, really.

Most documentaries suffer from generic soundtracks or the most rudimentary of scores, often cut by the director's friend. But then most of them don't have Michael Brook as composer. The guitarist is best known for his world fusion work with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and other Real World artists and his own ambient fusion releases like RockPaperScissors and Hybrid. It's the latter side that's tapped for Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, his dire documentation of Earth's warming and the government's inability to tackle the problem. Those themes dominate the film, but Gore's treatise is surrounded by personal reflections and autobiographical side trips. It's in these segments that most of Brook's music is used. He manages to be pastoral, reflecting Gore's Tennessee farm roots; and atmospheric, underscoring Gore's emotional personal journey. Plaintive guitars ("Katrina"), processed guitar washes ("Main Title--River View"), touches of ambient Americana ("How Could I Spend My Time?"), and even a bit of U2's quietly anthemic pulse ("Science") emerge. Some of the best tracks, like "Best Unsaid" and "Carte Noir," weren't even used in the film. This score works as individual songs, but even better as an album-length dip into a melodic, rustic ambience, a drift down an American river, where shadows lie around the bend and dark shoals are just beneath the surface. --John Diliberto

Among the best soundtracks in 2006.......2006-11-25

After four years without a musical recording, Michel Brook came back in 2006 with no less than the musical backdrop to the fantastic documentary "An Inconvenient Truth". In the same vein as Mark Isham's latest work ("Crash"), the Toronto-born musical genius provides the perfect companion to this dramatic movie that presents us with a crude reality that we feel compelled to do something about.

Non-invasive in any way and mildly ethnic in certain respects, Brook's guitar/keyboard-based ambient music constitutes a fundamental part of the medium that Gore uses to present his powerful message. After the movie, the images he leaves you with resonate in your mind when you listen to the notes of Brook's work: a truly magical combination.

Album Description

High Contrast exploded onto the electronic music scene in 2002 with his debut "True Colors", named one of the top ten albums of the year by URB, BPM, XLR8R, Remix, Lotus, Mixer, Rinse, Knowledge (UK), and ATM (UK). Several British publications also cited it as one of the top 100 electronic albums of all time. Not bad for a 21-year old unknown from Wales. "High Society" does more than avoid the sophomore slump by setting a new benchmark of excellence for drum and bass and for electronic music at large. Four tracks feature some of the biggest vocal talents in UK hip-hop and r&b alongside the best crossover drum and bass tunes since Reprazent and Goldie.

Almost 5 stars.......2007-05-05

High Contrast's debut "True Colors" has shaken and revived the DnB-scene in a time when it was though to be dead. Beside Roni Size' "New Forms" it is my favorite DnB-album. I have to say that I am one of the few who think that "True Colors" is better than "High Society".

Don't get me wrong, High Society is an amazing album. It is highly inventive, bringing elements into DnB which have not been used in this genre before. Tracks are highly structured and some have a strange 80's new wave feel. Gone is the funk and the jazz which were so prevalent in True Colors, tracks have become even more melodic. If not for the fast beat, many of them are close to being mainstream compatible.

Not all songs are hits, and at some points the album bores me a little. Given the CD is over 70 minutes long, that is quite natural though. It does not change my mind: High Contrast is probably the best producer/DJ in the DNB-genre at the moment. Get this album, all his others, and also consider the other artists at Hospital records, most notably Nu:Tone and London Elektricity.

D & B on a higher level........2006-12-13

High Contrast has really put something special together here. High Society is the best D & B album I've heard since the mid 90's. 'Lovesick' is the first & quite possibly the best track. 'Brief Encounter', 'Racing Green', and 'Twilight's Last Gleaming' are my other favorites, but every track is worth a listen. Essential listening for bassheads.

I'm comin' around.......2005-07-05

Let me preface this review by saying that I've been down w/ Jungle/ D&B since day one. From old scool "Dread Bass" by Dead Dred (recently resurfaced on an Andy C. mix CD) to picking up Goldie's "Timeless" the 1st week of its release (94'), and all the Metalheadz releases soon thereafter (I could on and on--but I won't bore you). I didn't like High Contrast at first (see my review of "True Colours") and this 2 step Garage/D&B hybrid thing that was taking off (any lyrics other than rude boy ragga toasting made me cringe). But then, the more Jungle parties I went to, the less women I saw there. Now, being a heterosexual male, tis' not a good thing to go out on a Sat night and be surrounded by sausage. Anyway, I now see what these fellas like High Contrast are doing--making D&B more "danceable", which is vital, because that's what brings out the ladies (it's not only that, this really is beautiful music). Anyway, this is High Contrast's best release by far (much better than "True Colors", in my humble opinion). I would list some standouts, but this whole disc is full of them and definately worth a complete listen.

Pretty Damn Sweet.......2005-06-25

It's really hot that High Contrast wrote all these tracks

it's good to see an artist that truly swings across the board with consistent quality

all tracks jive

In general I find some of the typically ego-jungle rappers kind of dragging

although the melodic cruise of the rest of the cd is high society

thumbs up dudes

DnB---- BUY THIS

High Society indeed!.......2005-03-24

This album, as a whole, is excellent from start to finish, back to front, right to left, top to bottom...any way you play it! For drum and bass heads this is a no brainer and for everybody else this is an excellent album to start with. High Society is a beautiful album-well worth the money.

One phrase description:.......2005-11-10

Magical Mystery Tour chill out music. That's what it is. OK Brian Wilson too, but it's as though "Flying" from the Beatles MMT and all the musical bits at the end and in between songs off MMT were turned into a more modern chill out CD. Now I hate "chill out" CDs, but this album is mesmerising while being musically rich. I disagree with the previous reviewer who said the 12 minutes at the end of Track Goes By goes on too long. Once you realize that its intention is to be 12 minutes, you start to understand why and just groove along, playing Scrabble and drinking wine or whatever it is you do while appreciating this kind of music. Expect a 3 minute tune and yes, you'll be confused.

They Want to Take You Higher.......2000-02-07

Though more an extended EP than a genuine album, Gideon Gaye is nevertheless the best place to start appreciating the work of Sean O'Hagan's High Lllamas. Echoing the lush textures Beach Boy Brian Wilson sculpted during his Smile heyday, Gideon Gaye is awash with exotic arrangements, blending strings, vibes, fuzz bass, electronic effects and exquisite harmonies that seem to go up and up and up. O'Hagan also works with Stereolab, however, and the ambient approach of that outfit isn't as effective when applied here -- the songs tend to wander off for no good reason. "Track Goes By" boasts the most immediate hook on the album but drifts into an epic flute solo that drags on for a far too long twelve minutes. The constant remixing of key tracks as bumpers also becomes repetitive. The major numbers, though, are strong: "The Dutchman" is so masterfully arranged that it's hard to believe the Llamas' previous album was average three-chord bash and pop, while "Giddy and Gay" is everything implied by the title; "ear candy" doesn't begin to describe its effervescing melody. And though the lyrics for the centerpiece, "The Goat Looks On", are disappointingly oblique, its message is communicated well enough through impressionistic sound painting.

one of the greatest albums ever made.......1999-09-23

This is glorious -- some sort of wild mixture of Brian Wilson, Steve Reich, the Band, the Beach Boys, and a distinctly 90s sensibility. Created for 4000 pounds sterling, it is an absolute whirl of different influences, transcended and exalted by Sean O'Hagan, the High Llamas' resident genius. There's nothing like "Gideon Gaye" anywhere. Do not let the seeming lightness of this album fool you. It is a particularly tender surrealism, with a distinctly English conservatism -- and by that, I don't mean the Religious Right or anything like that. Rather, the conservatism lies in the preservation of old values -- small towns, country lanes, gentility -- expressed in terrific rock and roll. Absolutely brilliant, with that marvelous mixture of the new and the old that T.S. Eliot explored in "Tradition and the Individual Talent." The High Llamas embrace both.

"Holland" on Sea.......1999-06-24

Gideon Gaye is the first introduction I had to the High Lamas. Sean O'Hagan's previous arrangement and production work for Stereolab are the driving force behind this extension of the West Coast US - Brighton axis. Littered with Brian Wilson's melodic flourish this LP has the dreamy melancholia of 'The warmth of the Sun' mixed with the counter culture and everyday sadness of the English South coast off season. Gideon Gaye, in such tracks as 'the goat' retains O'Hagan's characteristic nod to French experiementalism whilst not being so dominated by nob twiddling as in earlier Stereolab works. It is a foreunner of greater LP's to come

Not a period record.......1999-06-03

Singing like Donald Fagan and arranging like Brian Wilson does not make Sean O'Hagan a throwback artist or a mimic. O'Hagan uses ideas and riffs from Pet Sounds as his pallette to create a completely new work of art. His use of repetition to create musical trances is totally contemporary. This is a best of the Nineties record as far as I'm concerned.

Excellent single to their Singles 93-03 Album........2004-03-18

This wild CD-Single, released after their Singles album, to me is just a fun little EXTRA for those who enjoyed the Singles album in general. 'Get Yourself High' features Canadian rapper K-OS, who I don't know much about, and is pretty much a rap song combined with Tom and Ed breaking out a different style of house beats into hip-hop. The 'Extended Version' version gets even better, even though I never realize that it is longer. Felis Da Housecat does a good job with his version as it's along the lines of a dancefloor version. 'Switches Rely On Rub' in my opinion, was the best version of the song. The versions of 'The Golden Path' were alright, but I still prefer the version from the Singles album myself. 'Nude Night' was on the verge of being a very good B-Side track and a complete wreck of a track. The video is...interesting *laugh*

Another thing...this is more of an EP than a single, becasue it contains The Golden Path and a B-Side. It sort of qualifies for a potential EP title, would anyone else agree?

Overall, this single is worth it, thanks!

Very good CD a purchase that I will not regret

an excellent addition to any social situation.......2006-07-04

i absolutely adore this purchase. it is very solid with a steady, heavy groove laden beat. the only beef that i have with this set is it has a very strong "love boat" esque quitar and synth that reocurres throughout. also the most standout song 'sabrosura' disk#2-sg#4 has an incredible hook, guitar layering but it has a girl saying the wd 'sabrosura' in the most anoying way throughout. that is pretty much how the whole cd goes with me most of it is great with just a hint of "i wish that wasn't there"

overall i would buy this cd over and over again because the good definately outweighs the bad and if you like "latin house"(heavy grooves with a hint of cheeze) then this is a MUST have but for any deep house head this is a good solid buy that you will not begrudge.

Thanks Kinky Sweet.......2005-11-10

As the last reviewer this is the first Frequent Flyer purchase I've made and I made it just out of pure curiosity. After listening to this non-stop for a week I have the entire Series in my cart for purchase. I can only sing praises for both discs. It was just what I needed. I was becoming increasingly frustrated b/c the quality of hip-hop has gone down since 1999 and all of the progressive house, trance, etc. that I gravitated towards just has seemed flat the last two years. But this is everything I was searching for: Deep, funky, spicey, smooth house music that forces you to move your head & shoulders to the beat. It is a very solid mixture of various styles of house that are blended perfectly together. Highly recommended.

Kudos to Frequent Flyer !!!.......2005-09-16

This is the first FrequentFlyer CD i've every had and i'm not disappointed at all, i always listen to this CD since the day i got it, it makes my heart pump and move to the Brazilian/Latin/Arfican house beats. My fave one is Afrocatalans (Hardsoul Emocion Tropical Treatment) by Danny Marquez, i recommend you guys to get a copy if u wanna chase the pulsating beats of Brazilian, Latin & Arican house music,
U won't regret this CD at all!!! Kudos to FF!!

Album Description

Syrian is an energetic dance band from Italy that combines melodic synthpop with intense electronic programing and thumping futurepop beats. They prefer sci-fi, futuristic lyrical themes on "De-Synchronized", which adds to the overall tech-mood of the album. It's a band that you can dance to, or sing along with.

good ol dance music.......2005-10-22

Starless rules I love that song. Realy catchy dance music. Try to listen to this without dancing. Trust me ive tried and failed.

Syrian is DEE BEST!.......2005-07-20

I have always wondered what the future of music would be like, and I think I just found it in this band

good dance music nothing more!.......2005-03-14

I thought this album would have a more interesting sound and deeper ambiance. To me it compares to a dance Enrique Iglesias album. Their songs have always the same predictable keyboards sounds too familiar for common dance music. If you want really good synthpop try De/Vision or Neuroactive.

Elegant Synthpop.......2005-01-27

Being very into the euro synthpop trance sound,after hearing no atmosphere I was hooked on syrian.The melodies and beats arewell formed and the male vocals compliment it all so well.You just want to get up and dance.Also makes great driving music in your car.So if you are like me and love opening yourself to new synthpop or just want a great synthpop/dance cd pick up syrian

BEST OF THE BEST!!.......2004-09-01

For any electro/dance fan this is the Stuff!! It just doesn't get any better than this. EVERY single song kicks butt!! Some synthpop to me is pretty light on the bass but this BRINGS the thump!! It doesn't hurt that the melodies are great too!!! Simply outstanding!!!

Fantastic!.......2004-06-19

I hear e-music since 10 years old!(I have 23!!!)I had never found a CD so perfect!! Sorry friends my terrible english because I am not from USA, anyway, this CD is absolutely amazing!

No.......2004-04-22

I'm sorry but this album was just awful!! It was so cheesy. I couldn't stand listening to it for more than 15 minutes. It's obnoxious. I hear local Dj's playing the same songs. Infact, i heard the same songs at Chucky Cheese's.

Intensity Rising is a must have!!!! Best Hard Trace, HI-NRG.......2004-02-07

This is the best Hard House, Hi-NRG, Hard Trace CD out there. If you like it underground style, Ron-E keeps it real. The only thing better then the CD is seeing him live. A must have for Hi-NRG fans. If you can't go to the rave, bring the rave to you.

Good stuff, but far from rare........2005-01-07

Stripping vocals off tracks from albums, repackaging recent material and throwing on a few outtakes is hardly worth a purchase. One would do much better listening to Cold and Bouncy which it seems a majority of this is from.

A much more interesting idea would be a Sean O'Hagan album, with Stereolab collaborations, High Llamas material other side projects and tracks from other artists Sean found influential [yes, I might guess a Brian Wilson track may possibly show up there.]

Donald Fagan meets Brian Wilson for tea in the country.......2004-07-19

Sunshine music! Multi-talented Sean O'Hagan has come up with some of the most pleasingly crafted pop song experiments of the last ten years. Period. There are so many high points throughout this intelligently selected, generous two-disc set that I can't say just what are the best numbers here. This collection flows like an idyllic summers day and reminds me of daydreaming outside in a cot on a lazy day. If you at all like Pet Sounds through Sunflower Beach Boys or Steely Dan's more gracefully melodic pop displays, then surely you need to snatch this up like the prize that it is. Excellent banjo and horn orchestrations along with dreamilly beguiling tuned percussion work throughout. While the impression given is more like one mood stretched out to song length, the repetiousness of the melodic motifs in the end results in an overall dream-like impression. Sean O'Hagan may work best at creating singular moods that sustain themselves rather than writing songs which gradually unfold, and this High Llamas compilation shows just how sensitive an ear Sean has for arranging enchantingly off-beat, experimental pop minitures. The performances by the musicians is always just right. The level of quality arranging (O'Hagan's strongest suit) throughout makes this cd a welcome pleasure. The High Llamas aren't so much about songs as they are about setting a particular mood, one that's always welcoming and unassumingly small scale. Not insignificant, more like charmingly inviting and pleasantly unobtrusive, when you feel like things being "just so..."

Sounds to lift the weary-hearted.......2003-08-25

Best-known for his string arrangements for Stereolab, High Llama Sean O'Hagan may be short on originality, but possesses an extraordinary gift for combining Bacharach melodies with the plush orchestration in the tradition of Brian Wilson. O'Hagan's songwriting bears the imprint Robert Wyatt's tidal meditations. (Now there's an idea for a cross-generational collaboration!) Though the repeated use of a banjo lick more suggestive of "Sesame Street" than Morricone wears out its welcome the fourth time it crops up, there's over an hour of comfort music on this double CD collection.
