Album Description

Balearic grooves, lusty latin flavours, searing sunshine vocals, irresistable rhythms; essentially this is pure, soulful summer vibes on two CDs! Beach House 2006 was one hard act to follow but somehow this album raises the bar yet again and delivers sun-kissed sexy house like only Hed Kandi knows how. Last year's Beach House album was one of HK's biggest selling titles, so there's much anticipation surrounding this new release! Disc One starts with the daddy of sundrenched house himself, Miguel Migs, "So Far" is taken from his latest album, and it sets the tone perfectly. The disc continues with some familiar names like Hot Chip, MJ Cole, Roachford, MYNC, & Chris Lake. The second disc continues in a more up vibe with the Andy Caldwell remix of Cloud's Turning; then into a brand new track, It's Gonna Happen from our wonderful new Hed Kandi discovery, the talented Miss Maxine Hardcastle. Hed Kandi DJ and producer, Wez Clarke, takes the cool remix credit under his Wesley Clarke monicker and the original was produced by somebody very, very famous...

Incredible Compilation!.......2007-07-19

Amazing house music compilation. Very good selection of brand new sexy and funky house tracks that are sure to set any dancefloor of any club on fire. Any compilation that features Miguel Migs tracks are a good indication of what else there is on the album. A Must BUY for any Funky house lover/DJ!

haunting, beautiful music.......2007-06-29

I don't know if this band really sounds like Mazzy Star or Slowdive...but they are certainly influenced by them. I saw them at Emo's in Austin and the Subterranean in Chicago and I was floored by their live performace (despite the amazing amount of douchebags that feel the need to chit-chat while bands are playing...go to a bar where bands aren't playing you mongoloids!!!).

This CD is very, very, very good. There are all sorts of influences...maybe a little shoegaze, Magnetic Fields, aforementioned bands, and whatever else. I am not sure what else to say. "Tokyo Witch" is one of the best songs I have heard in the past couple years. I am very excited to see them for a third time in one year at the Pitchfork festival this summer. Folks...listen to the songs on the band's myspace site and if you dig them: buy the CD. It really grows on you. Solid music here, I hope they do another album.

buy this album.......2007-01-09

...I did, because I read that Beach House is like a better Mazzy Star. (In my opinion they're not better, just similar.) Upon hearing BH, I fell in deep. An evening spent with this album and a flickering candle is an event. "Apple Orchard" is about as beautiful as any song I've ever heard sung.

Wow. Just wow........2006-12-30

I love this music. Got sent to me by a friend as a reccomendation who saw it in rolling stone. Then I read about them. Was impressed by 1 song, bought the cd. GREAT MUSIC! Seriously. It may take a few listenings to for some to realize how great as it is... but if you don't like it automatically, listen again! Amazing stuff.

good god almighty.......2006-11-27

im just a simple boy who had thanksgiving lunch in a field in alabama, but if you have ever seen lebron james perform, or witnessed a girl with no arms eat, well then you know what it feels like to listen to beachhouse. good god almighty.

Amazing debut..........2006-11-04

The first half of this album is perfect. It is extremely beautiful music. My personal favorite song is "Master of None". I have been listening to this album over and over again for a week now. It just puts me in such a happy place. I can't describe how beautiful this music is...just buy it and find out for yourself...you won't regret it.

I can't wait to see what else they put out in the future.

Jimmy Buffett's music has always had an easy-in-the-islands feel to it, and if his songs seem like postcards sent from exotic locations or notes hastily scribbled on a bar napkin, that's more or less what they are. On Buffett's 31st album, the singer/songwriter, bestselling author, pilot, and son of a son of a sailor offers alternately wry and sentimental observations on everything from our impending doom ("Waiting for the Next Explosion") and the appeal of Cajun food ("I Will Play for Gumbo") to the ultimate vacation getaway ("Beach House on the Moon") and life's sweet mysteries ("Oysters & Pearls"). Buffett also tries on a couple of intriguing covers, including Bruce Cockburn's pensive "Pacing the Cage," Mose Allison's sly "You Call It Jogging," and Fred Neil's laid-back "Lucky Stars." Thanks to the return of a few long-lost members of his Coral Reefer Band, Beach House on the Moon often recalls Buffett's early albums--cause enough for Parrotheads everywhere to fire up the blender, string up the hammock, and give this one a spin. --Daniel Durchholz

Customer Reviews:

honestly..mathsux...3 * max..........2006-12-08

Math sux made me almost waver...to remind myself why I like him, I immediately resort to his old catalog...math sux, seriously...probably worst song he's ever let be known

Another step down in quality.......2005-09-07

Just as Jimmy's albums took a general downturn from the 70's to 80's, and from the 80's to the 90's, this album again shows another step down in quality; further distancing himself farther from the classic music he once wrote in the 70's.

I mean, I'm a big Parrothead, and I REALLY want to like this album, but he makes it so very difficult with the weak material included. In fact, with repeated listens, it's actually getting harder to enjoy it.

Jimmy just seems to be coasting most of the time on this disc (coasting in a bad way), going through the motions, on autopilot. He really needed/needs a reality check of his music, away from his current trend, and back to something of substance. I doubt that this album will hold up to the test of time as his 70's-80's albums have.

Sorry

JIMMY 'S BEACH HOUSE .......2005-05-28

Jimmy Buffett makes a very good attempt to capture the population which may not know his tried and true "Margaritaville" Music. Some of the "Coral Reefers" background musicians showed up on this session which adds a lot to this CD. The songs are funky and playful and sometimes even moody. The lyrics and tunes are good enough to make you want to lean back in your summer chair and sing along, with a tall drink in hand and nowhere to go. Jimmy Buffett never takes himself or his music too seriously. I like the second cut very much, "Permanent Reminder of a Temporary Feeling". It is the perfect anthem for this or any other Buffett CD. Buffett has a breezy way of takiing us all on journeys of the imagination where everyone lives the beach bum life and is better for it. It's the "what me worry?" attitude where money, clothes, jobs, and success don't matter much. Of course to say that Buffett hasn't earned a fine living through "merchandizing" through his many restaurants and web-pages is beside the point. There are enough parrotheads who would like to believe the next "beach house is on the moon" and it is accessible to each of us. So lay back and enjoy this CD.

I wanna live on the Moon!.......2002-10-12

I recently began to re-visit Jimmy Buffett's body of work.

Yes, I am a Parrothead...long before they named us that.

But, more than that, I love the music. And even more than that, I love a good story put to music.

Buffett has done himself proud on this CD. The stories he tells about tattoos (PERMANENT REMINDER OF A TEMPORARY FEELING), failed love affairs (YOU CALL IT JOGGING), being a caveman in the era of the world wide web (FLESH AND BONE), being a true son of the south (I WILL PLAY FOR GUMBO), and the advice he gives to misery husbands (SPENDING MONEY) are top notch. Not only are they musically pleasing, they're very well written.

I'd like to ask Buffett what comes phirst -- the music or the words.

However, this year on the first anniversary of 9/11, I was really struck by the words to PACING THE CAGE. It was if I was hearing it for the first time. Made me weep.

Get this CD and enjoy songwriting and the joy of performing at its best.

Go, Jimmy!

What Happened?.......2002-02-13

Alright ive been a parrothead since i was 7. I always look for Jimmy to start my summer and end my summer. I start with Barometer Soup and end it with Mexico. I was about 13 when this cd came out, but i never really got a chance to listen to since i still loved Buffetts old stuff. Well when i got a chance listen to it and i was extremely disapointed, I mean what happened to him? Is trying to hit Pop and get on the radio? Barely any songs on this cd have any caribbean-boat-music feel to em there just simple folk songs. Math suks...first second i heard this song i didnt loose through the whole thing, this song is by far the worse buffett song ever written, terrible just terrible. Now Beach House aint that bad its got its high points such as Beach House On The Moon, I Don't Know I Don't Care, I Will Play For Gumbo, and of course the tear-jerker Pacing the Cage.(Which if you ever stumble upon live version of Pacing The Cage from when Buffett kicked off the summer on the Today Show summer of 99 I think, listen to it, it is spectacular) Well it really doesnt matter how this cd comes out buffett rarely plays his new stuff on his tour. Basically this cd is worth burnin if somebody u know has it, but dont buy it this cd gets thrown in buffetts dispointing cd along with Somewhere Over China.

Customer Reviews:

Does the name ever fit..........2006-11-08

...the name of the label, that is, because this set is both Fierce in its quality and beat-appeal, and Angel-ic in its ability to sooth and stimulate at the same time...
As someone who buys a ton of house compilations, including other good releases from Fierce Angel, I'm knocked out by this set, and it strikes me as possibly as good as any I've ever heard. It's rare (unheard of, in my experience) to find a 3-CD set in which at least one of the discs isn't a clunker, but all three of those in Beach Angel are very good.
The overall tone is one of smooth, sophisticated, melodic house, but in no way does the set forget about the beat. Great flow, wonderful vibe throughout, truly remarkable...
Mr. Doyle, you're amazing, and as a longtime fan and consumer of Hed Kandi and Tokyo Collection house compilations, congratulations on what is perhaps your best set ever!

perfect summer companion.......2006-09-27

This compilation is just about as good as it gets. 3 CDs packed full with great tunes, starting more laid back, loungy, then growing into a blasting display of funky house, and finally moving on to some great classics of yesteryear. After the very good "Tokyo Disco", Mark Doyle once again proves why he is the master, and this is up to par with the wonderful Beach House 04.04 and 04.03 (I didn't really like BH 04.05 which I thought was a bit of a filler, too loungy and without the typical Doyle edge).

It is rather funny, but I think CD1 is the weaker of the bunch. There are quite a few good tunes here, don't be mistaken. This is music to listen in a sunny morning, when you're starting to sip margaritas and when the sun is shining brightest. My favorites are "One True Love" and "Always by my side", mainly because I love the vocals on both tracks and also because Eric Kupper is the master at making it sound oh-so-groovy. "This Way", "Turning", "Bonafide" and "Don't Let Love Weigh you Down" are also top-notch tracks. The others are ok, not amazing. I'd say this is a 4-star CD. Someone here said "consistent". I agree as this is a very tight group of tracks...

CD 2 is the one. As Mark writes on the sleeve: "takes the tempo up a notch as the third cocktail works its way into the bloodstream". Dab Hands' track is really cool and reminds me a lot of the atmosphere on Fatboy Slim's famous Brighton Beach set, which I love. Deepsky's "Ghost" might be my favorite tune in the whole box, a mellow groover with beautiful vocals and feel. It is followed by Andy Caldwell's "Brand New Day" which is no less amazing, once again great vocals and nice grooving bassline. The presence of "Sean" here puts me off though - it is also on Beach House 04.05 (an year-old record!) and on Mark's Tokyo Project CD1...come on, it is a good track but how many times do I have to buy it? The outputs of The Cuban Brothers and Mr. Grooves & Vergas are rather average for my taste, and then Ian Pooley has a track with nice vocals, followed by a massive tune by Peyton together with Eric Kupper - Peyton hardly ever gets it wrong, especially with Kupper's pianos! The last three tracks on the CD are all really good, "Back to Me" a solid mellow groover, "Changes" and "Devotion" showing the full range of Seamus Haji's skills, with this mix of "Devotion" being way better than the one found on Stereo Sushi 8. All in all, a very good disc, with just a few glitches. This is the one to put on when things start to move in the afternoon and the ladies want to dance...

CD 3 is a very good mix of Mark's former achievements. Being a fan of the Beach House series, I own every one of these tracks, but it is a pleasure to listen to them one more time, in a very thoughtful sequence. The only one I'm not really keen on here is "Flower Power", but that's just me - I find it dull and repetitive. My favorites are the great "Ever After" (Bonnie Bailey is something else), "Never" by Ray Roc with the great bassline and gorgeous vocals, the very funky and soulful "Back Together" and the amazingly beautiful "Central Reservation" by Beth Orton. If there were 6 stars, i'd give this CD all of them. If you want to know what the summer feels like, this is the disc...

overall a very good output by the Fierce Angels, as my title says, this is a perfect companion for a hot summer. Mark seems to have found his rhythm and groove once again, let's hope he keeps going like this.

Mark is Back!!.......2006-08-05

The best of Mark Doyle is back .
After his success at Hed Kandi, he s back with the real thing.
Can't miss it .

Mostly good, but some very poor inclusions - and it's not very beachy.......2006-07-08

Beach Angel is the second compilation from Fierce Angel, and the third compilation from Mark Doyle since he left Hed Kandi. This is unmixed, but the cover doesn't indicate this. "Tokyo Disco" was unmixed, and "Tokyo Project: The Collection" was mixed. I don't mind either way, but thought I'd point it out.

Anyway, onto the music.

CD 1 - Full Recline

Some great tracks here, including Cloud "Turning" (great vocals and piano), Tarot & Marbach feat. Dominique Boy "Freeway" (good vocals and melody, great beach feel), Studio Apartment feat. Stephanie Cooke "One True Love" (great vocals and chords but possibly a bit too long), and Clique feat. Bonnie Bailey "Always By My Side" (excellent vocals, chorus is particularly good).

Marks are lost however due to several rather dull and weak tracks: Afromystic "Miracles", Clique feat. Robina "Some kind of wonderful" and Richard Earnshaw "We've Got Joy" are just not quite what we've come to expect from Doyle. Still, this isn't a bad CD, and the beach theme is maintained throughout.

RATING FOR CD 1: 4/5

CD 2 - Upright

Hmm. This is a difficult disc to review. There are some top tunes here, most notably Dab Hands "Do Your Own Thing", Deepsky feat. Jes "Ghost", and Andy Caldwell "Brand New Day". However, these are not what I'd call beach tracks - they're a disco/trance hybrid. Don't get me wrong, they are well worth a listen - and don't be put off by the mention of trance. They are good. Just not really well suited to this collection.

Unfortunately, things get pretty bad in the middle of the CD. The Cuban Brothers "My Love Is Alive" is annoying and sounds cheap, s does Mr Groove and vergas "U Make Me Happy"; whereas Ian Pooley "Balmes" is terrible. Elsewhere, Aya "Sean" is good - but this was featured on Tokyo Project: The Collection - why the repeat here? Oh well, there aren't many other repeats on these first two CDs, I guess.

RATING FOR CD 2: 3/5

CD3 - Back to the Beach

Unlike the first two discs, this is a collection of Mark's "favourite classic tracks". Nothing new here, so I've considered the disc on the quality of the music rather than whether it's new or not.

Most of the tracks are great: Blue Six "Music & Wine", Flower Power "Flower Power", Kaskade "It's You It's Me", Ray Roc feat. Tina Arena "Never", Bonnie Bailey "Ever After", Beth Orton "Central Reservation"... the list goes on. Utterly fantastic.

The lesser tracks are few and far between: Hardsoul "Back Together" isn't bad but it's a bit cheesey; Petalpusher "Surrender" is background music at best; and Solstice "Lovely" is not overly special. But this third disc is still very good indeed.

RATING FOR CD 3: 5/5

OVERALL: Some absolutely stunning tracks are somewhat spoiled by the inclusion of some absolute stinkers. Often, it's a case of mistaken identity, as some trance and disco tracks are included. Not a true beach collection, although the third disc is excellent. RATING: 3/5

Customer Reviews:

Top Shelf Funky & Soulful House music.......2006-08-31

The mixes on both the cd's are excellent. But disc 2 really stands out for me. Don't expext to listen to either one of these cd's and keep still, it's virtually impossible!

I'm an avid fan of house music, and know quality when I hear it. Both DJ's do an excellent job of conveying the "Beach" vibe on this compliation. Close your eyes and you can almost taste Miami :)

Keep an eye out for Justin Michael and Darwin...they are putting out some of the best funky and soulful house sounds today.

Great Beach Party Music.......2006-06-08

If you're looking to keep the party moving without missing a beat, pick up this disc. It's slightly better than the "Poolside" cd that was released last year.

Customer Reviews:

An essential for any good house collection.......2007-04-29

This is simply a great cd set. Can't say enough about how great the sound and consistency are.
First cd is very good vocal tracks with great production and sound.
Second cd is different with less vocals and impressive instrumental tracks.
This is Hed Kandi at its best.

It's nowhere near as good as Beach House 2 or 3.......2007-01-12

It's perfectly acceptable and inoffensive, but it's not as good as the older beach house albums.
If you haven't got 2 and 3, buy them first before buying this one

Very Downtempo and Funky.......2007-01-03

This CD lacked energy and put me asleep. It had a funky vibe that some may like, but it was not for me. I would not recommend this CD.

Beach House, a super compilation!! But..........2006-08-11

I always look very much forward to july-august, when the Beach House compilation from Hed kandi is released. It was the same this year. Very exited to here it, after Mark Doyle (former Kandi owner) has left Hed Kandi. In the beginning, about the first 5 times I listen to it, I wasn`t very exited. But then I started to feel the magic of Beach House.. Super soulful summer tracks for the beach, was comming out of my loadspeakers. Please give me more!!
About the cd`s, I will say the cd 1 is absolut my favourit, where I really don`t want to skip a single track. With some super fine tunes like "Rise" with Samantha James and "Heavens On Fire" with Luke wich is also to find on Es Vive 05 from Hed Kandi. I think this new version on Beach House is very soulful and much more groovy. Also to mention "We Should Fall In Love" with L.O.V.E feat. Malin Elino my top favourite song on this compilation together with "Sun Science" with Carzy Penis and "Did`t Mean To Turn You On" with Colette. If I could, I will give 5 stars to cd 1. When it comes to cd 2, I must say I`m a little disapointed. I think the tracks missing the soulful and groovy upbeat vibes with the latin twist you normal find on cd 2. Futhermore how can they put "Fade" with Solu Music, and "Black Waters" on again. These tracks a so superfine, but please leave them where they belong, and in the original way.. On the BEST Beach House ever! Beach House 04.02. At the end I will say as a Beach House Lover, this album is absolut worth every cent, and I keep listning to it over and over again. If You are into this kind of music, why don`t try Mark Doyle`s new started label out "Beach Angel" from Fierce Angels. I must say he still rocks. I will diffently call his new album Beach House Number 2 this summer!! Get it too, and the sun will shine on you all summer.

Love going back to Beach House.......2006-07-26

I still enjoy the Hed Kandi CDs and even after Mark Doyle left, I have to oppose those who say that the quality is down. I don't feel the quality has gone down, it's just a little different and there is nothing wrong with change. I love the Beach House albums since in the past as they have introduced me to some addicting songs including an all time favorite of mine, Bonnie Bailey's "Ever After".

Some of my favorites in this album include "Rise" by Samantha James, "We should fall in Love" by L.O.V.E feat. Malin Elino, "In this life" by Kaskade, "Sun Science" by Crazy P, and "A Million Stories" by the Cuban Brothers. This album has a nice blend of some relaxing beach side music as well as some dance songs with more upbeat tempo. Both CDs given a good mix and neither is completely made of chill or dance. Overall, I enjoyed this album and definitely keeping it in my Hed Kandi collection.

Enjoyed very much despite muted scratchy sound on last track.......2007-02-07

I gave this to my father. He was thrilled by the collection of songs. He said the last track was a little scratchy and lower volume but that the sound quality of all of the other tracks was great.

Great Band and Greater Music.......2006-03-18

Having taught music for 41 years, I do appreciate the quality of a good band, good music and a good recording. This series is all three! My only complaint is that the CD's are not long enough. I would like to have them last much longer. Enjoyed them very much!

A Moderate Sampling of Sousa.......2003-12-04

Actually one of the better CDs of the limited Altissimo! line of products. At least we have the Marine band playing Sousa, as it should be, but many of the selections are what we have heard already on countless CDs of Sousa. A few of the selections here are different and worthwhile. The problems we encounter are a mixture of recording styles taken from different internal tracks from the Marine Band Library. These recordings were never intended for commercial use. Hence the un-even sound at times. Also the brief durration of the CD indicates as well that it was never intended for public use. Finally, lack of any worthwhile liner notes tops off a rather un-professional job overall.

Start of a great series for Sousa admirers.......2002-09-07

The President's Own play these like no other ensemble. I don't know what the current occupant of the White House thinks about them, but this wind ensemble is a national treasure in my book. This whole series is highly recommended. They play with more energy than the fine musicians of the Detroit Concert Band who sound a little bored on the complete Walking Frog set. They are a much finer ensemble, playing with greater precision and balance than Kieth Brion's British players on Naxos. The only weakness is in the documentation. There is none. We are not even told who the excellent conductor is. But that doesn't prevent one from enjoying the inspiring performances. Highly recommended!

Sousa Played as only the Marines can do.......2001-11-01

This release by Altissimo! is a great collection of Sousa Recordings played by the band that Sousa made great. There are tons of Sousa recordings out there, but none feature the US Marine band. Sousa marches don't sound the same until you have heard them played by the Marines. Sousa wrote many of these marches while bandmaster of the Marines, thus the reason why the renditions of these works are so excellent here. The band playes with a real drive and energy, the likes of which few can compare. While not a large selection of marches, this CD is only volume one of a four volume set of Sousa's music featuring the US Marine band. (...) Now more than ever, with our nation in crisis, we need the inspired music of our great service bands.

f-TV.... One of life's guilty pleasures..........2007-04-07

I don't get Fashion TV in my locality, however, when I travel overseas in Asia where they have it on their cable TV I find myself at all hours of the day and night transfixed at Fashion TV, which I always seem to have on in the background... was talking with a friend about it recently who by chance happens to watch it regularly also when in Asia and I'm not exactly sure why it works, but somehow it does... beautiful women, fashion, exotic locations and lifestyles... I guess that's the answer!

I could imagine this CD as being kind of a soundtrack to some of the shoots. It's a solid effort (I'd give it 4 to 4.5 stars), although not 5 stars which I reserve for something exceptional (and I would rarely give to an unmixed CD such as this, simply because it takes a lot of skill to put together a series of tracks into a cohesive listening journey). It's just a good house music disc with a mix of male and female vocals, all tateful, nothing cheesy, funky at times and will have you tapping your feet. Like the TV show it's totally enjoyable, and would be perfect for background music, a party or the, yes, even the beach. Even though it was released a few years ago I don't consider the music dated. Definately, if you like Hed Kandi, you'll like this.

Long live Fashion TV!

Swims Nicely Above the Sea of Average House.......2005-07-24

A very well compiled soundtrack to this HOT Summer and reminds me of the Beach House series from Hed Kandi, and that's a good thing. I discovered FTV on I-tunes and downloaded the entire set list. Lately I havent been thrilled with what Ive sampled in House but FTV is worthy addition to any collectiuon. Take a listen...you wont regret it

F is for fabulous!.......2005-01-13

FTV can now be proud of at least 3 things:
Beautiful clothes
Beautiful women
and Beautiful music!

this cd rocks! perfect for stylish house parties or relaxing on the beach. if you're a fan of the hed kandi beach house series like i am, then don't miss out on this one! superb album!

semi sucked.......2006-07-10

gone fishin is the only good cut on the entire cd, there are some others that are "un-skip-able" but otherwise its a mindless background compilation of off brand bama no names. consistant fake neo-soul electric beat throughout the cd can be annoying if you have been there before. i would have been mad if i paid more than $10 for it. it serves its purpose as a stuck in traffic soundtrack, however, i find myself listening to "gone fishin" over and over again.

NEO-SOUL AT IT S BEST !!!.......2005-05-18

Hidden Beach has done it again!!! This is one of best undiscovered neo-soul albums out there. It's the kind of album you put and everyone says: "Who is that?" Several undiscovered artists are ont his album.Every song and artist like Mike Phillips will keep you in that neo-soul music. If you're a lover of neo-soul, this album is a must have.

Hidden Hits on The Radio Finally www.iM4radio.com.......2003-12-08

This cd his packed with raw uncut talent. You can rock this one from beginning to end. Track #19 is my favorite, but you can hear all of them on www.iM4radio.com all day every day...you can even call and request songs. Enjoy!

AN INSTANT CLASSIC.......2003-10-10

HIDDEN BEACH HAS REALLY DONE IT THIS TIME. THIS ALBUM IS GREAT

BOOTY!!!!!! not good @ all!!!.......2003-09-25

This is not a good cd. this is 3rd rate talent fo real! HB does good stuff but this one really bites!! there are a few good acts, but the hip hop one here is really not good. like they are a bunch of Common and Mos Def rip offs!!!!!
