Having morphed--some would argue devolved--into a predictable ballad machine by the '80s, it's good to be reminded of Chicago's original artistic ethos and vibrant promise. And what better place to start than their spectacular 1969 debut? This digitally remastered edition compiles the double album on a single disc that retains the original LP artwork and features a 16-page booklet with a retrospective essay (based on new band member interviews) by David Wild. Chicago weren't yet the '70s hit-singles factory they would shortly become, and CTA showcases a band whose muscular musicianship and creative restlessness fostered two LPs worth of music that was as aggressive and far-ranging as its singles were friendly and inviting. Tellingly, the hits showcased here--"Does Anybody Know What Time It Is?" "Beginnings," "Questions 67 and 68," and their rhythmically pumped cover of the Spencer Davis Group's "I'm a Man"--were often edited down from the original collection's suite-heavy structure. But those familiar cuts belie the downright progressive and angular nature of much of the rest, which fuses Terry Kath's neo-psychedelic guitar (which careens to noisy, feedback-laden Hendrixesque extremes on "Free Form Guitar") to one of rock's pioneering horn sections with enough experimentalism ("Poem 58") that it frequently overwhelms their undeniable genius with a pop song. Chicago would seldom sound so adventurous after this, one of rock's greatest debut albums. --Jerry McCulley

Upgrade to old LP record.......2007-05-30

This is the first LP which started me buying this music. I have just upgraded my worn out record to a CD because this band still sounds good after over 30 years. Suggest those younger than 30 give it a try and hear how big band music really should sound.

CTA Review.......2007-05-24

It didnt take much convincing. My sister has the original LP and I used to play them constantly. Throught the years Ive bought this cassette several times and played them til they wore out. Now Im glad to have it on CD

When Chicago was electrifying...........2007-04-13

Chicago is a nasty city. The sports teams always lose, the weather is that of extremes (bitter cold, stifling, humid summers), and it tends to get ignored in favour of NYC and L.A.. But some great music came out of that city, and Chicago (the band) is an example. This is one of the greatest debuts in rock history, an album full of life, vigor, experimentation, intelligence, and rock and roll. Terry Kath especially shines on this album, with his blistering guitar work on Introduction, Poem 58 (his best song here), and Free Form Guitar. Most people who grew up listening to Chicago in the 1980's when they were making pop friendly, AOR music would absolutely freak at this song, and most of this album. There are pop tracks, like Does Anybody Know What Time It Is? and Beginnings, but they are adventurous, complex pop songs, and Lamm's piano solo on Time (usually edited on the single version) is beautiful. KAth's gravely voice is as amazing as his guitar work. Their cover of I'm a Man is better than Winwood's original, and Liberation is an amazing track in which to conclude. It's 14 1/2 minutes of jazz/rock fusion mayhem. Chicago was as good as any jazz/rock, prog rock band out there for the first 4 albums or so. Their pop songs, while not awful, certainly didn't have the adventure you have here.

Excellent.......2007-03-09

I bought this CD for my brother's birthday, upon his request. He told me he absolutely loves it, and has listened to it non stop in his car to and from work.

Very satisfied customer in Ohio.

Album Description

Jack's Mannequin, the angst-flavored, SoCal-vibed side project of Something Corporate's singer-song-writer Andrew McMahon, debuted live at SXSW and now debuts on album with Everything in Transit. Produced by Jim Wirt (Incubus, Alien Ant Farm), and featuring Motley Crue's Tommy Lee on drums, Everything in Transit offers yet another stage for the ethereal voice of an iconoclastic performer who is among alt-rock's most popular artists.

Best Yet .......2007-03-15

I'm a huge SoCo fan, so of course when I heard about Andrew McMahon's solo project I was excited. This cd was even better than I could have expected. I've listened to it about 1000 times, and I'm still not tired of it. It has catchy lyrics, and all the songs are cool and piano driven, which I love. Honestly there's not a bad song on it.

Call it a comeback.......2007-03-09

Everything in Transit is the kind of CD you play on repeat in your car and don't get sick of...at least I haven't yet! I love each track from start to finish. I recently saw Andrew McMahon with Jack's Mannequin play at the 930 club and he sings and throws down on the piano even better live than he does on the album.

Brilliant and Intense.......2007-02-15

i don't like something corporate at all,
even north ,which i think is their less worst record,but mcmahon's jack's mannequin deliver amazing piano driven songs with so much grace that makes you wanna jump around the room,or just reflect a little bit 'bout life.

good music
i'm glad that he's ok

This CD is really great! Just because I love Something Corporate, I decided to buy the CD and was not let down. Jack's Mannequin delivers the same great style of Something Corporate.

The second coming of a future legend........2006-11-19

I won't waste my time and yours by doing a full review of 'Everything In Transit', Jack's Mannequin's flawless gem of an album; there is already ample gushing in the review section of the disc's original release. What I will do is tell you why, even if you already own the album, you owe it to yourself to purchase this re-release for the spectacular DVD footage it contains.

If you've never seen piano-playing frontman Andrew McMahon play a live show before, you're in for a treat. The 24 year old is a born entertainer and one of the most charismatic young performers you'll ever have the pleasure of encountering. But the shows recorded here are exceptional in that they represent the singer's return to the stage after a battle with leukemia that very nearly claimed his life. The first show on the disc took place a mere 100 days after the stem cell transplant that saved him and there is a touching irony to the record's seemingly carefree lyrics as Andrew, rail-thin and still bald from chemotherapy, sings, 'California in the summer / and my hair is growing long'. If the fans in the audience appear subdued, it is out of sheer relief. And after all he's been through, McMahon delivers a quiet but pitch-perfect set sprinkled with dialogue that is upbeat, gracious, and even, endearningly, a little nervous.

The second show set in New York City has a completely different vibe. Now sporting one of his trademark nerdy sweater vests and a headful of reassuring fluffy regrowth, McMahon gives his fans the kind of show they've come to expect from him; the kind that rocks one's face off. And while he's still a long way from flipping his piano over and lighting it aflame, stunts he was infamous for during his Something Corporate days, it is clear that his irrepressible energy and enthusiasm for music has returned full force.

And if that weren't enough, the disc also includes two beautifully crafted music videos. The animated floral explosion that is The Mixed Tape Version One (animated because McMahon was physically unable to record a video at the time it was released) and the stunningly gorgeous Dark Blue, which features a painful looking 40's era dance marathon (watch for Tommy Lee's cameo).

So, boys and girls, if you've always wanted to see a pheonix rise up from the ash, well, here's your chance. Despite being entirely too short, the poignant and triumphant live performances included with this rerelease are well worth the full price. And you can always use another copy of Everything In Transit, you know, for when your other one melts from overplaying. ;)

This is an amazing band and an amazing cd. I love every track on the cd, which is rare for me when buying a cd. I can listen to this cd over and over. I recently went to a show and they are awesome live. I highly recomend this cd and this band, as long as you like the pop/punk genre you will not be disapointed!

BEST CD EVER.......2006-07-14

I bought this cd and it is the best Cd I have ever had In My Entire 14 years of living and I've had quite a few cds in my lifetime. I Completely Recomend this cd to anyone on the entire earth

Neither Corporate nor Bruised.......2006-07-08

Though noticably different from Something Corporate's North, Everything in Transit shares the vocals and most obviously the talent behind Something Corporate. Tracks like "Bruised" and "Dark Blue" are phenomenal examples of a narrative both surreal and familiar. The album's a pleasure from start to finish, and it really is a story. I'd recommend it to anyone who's a fan of Something Corporate or is a fan of genuine creativity in general.

Beata Moon.......2007-07-14

When I first listened to Beata Moon, I thought that she could go toe to toe with just about any pianist technique wise. Clearly, her extensive formal training is evident in her playing. But as I started to enjoy her talents, I realized that music should not be thought of in terms of a toe to toe fight or competition, as is so often the case in the recognized music schools. I think harmony is what it is all about.
Beata's music has an important harmonic role and place with all forms of real music. She is truly a gif

Snazzy, Savvy Works from an Original Composer.......2007-06-29

This is Beata Moon's second CD, and I'm sure it won't be her last. She has a tremendous feeling for delicate, innovative sound puncuated by fascinating musical surprises. She's also a fabulous pianist (in these, her own works, and in the general repertory).

Buy and enjoy this CD, and try to catch her in performance!

Unmemorable Piano Works by a Fine Pianist.......2007-06-27

The Naxos label has done a great service over the past years in bringing to our attention, via their recordings of new works, some engaging and even important works. This issue, however, is not one of those. The present collection of short piano pieces composed and played by pianist Beata Moon presents a number of essentially faceless, if harmless, works in a gentle and bland style -- think diluted, New-Age-tinged Hindemith or Persichetti -- that do little more than showcase Moon's excellent abilities as a pianist and provide unobjectionable background music. One cannot but think that these pieces started out as improvisations. One can picture Moon noodling at the piano and then ultimately notating the results. There are some mildly interesting things -- use of parallel fifths in the Sonata's third movement, or use of tricky metrics in the Toccata, or Debussyan harmonies in 'Ode' -- but even these have been done better by others. Far more interesting are Moon's fanciful titles; e.g., 'Chug-a', 'Sub (conscious) Way', a suite called 'Inter-Mez-Zo' in which the three pieces are, ahem, 'Inter', 'Mez' and 'Zo.'

One suspects we will not be hearing much more of Miss Moon as a composer. But I wouldn't mind hearing her play more substantial music.

Capitalism at it's worst.......2006-03-25

I owned this on cassette tape (remember those?), and have since misplaced it. Hoping to find it on CD I came to Amazon.com only to find that it cannot be purchased for less than $60.00 (for a CD). This country is going downhill quickly!!!
Give people a break, spread the joy of this wonderful music, and offer it at a price that a normal human being might be able to afford!

Timely music..........2005-09-28

If this CD is disappointing (esp. in contrast to "Under the Eye"), it's solely because it's such pure '80s music. But if you can filter out the 80s-ana in here, and hear the whole collection as one of the very very best of the innovative stuff boiling out of that era, some of the best of the new acoustic/new age/new jazz that frothed up that decade, then you'll dig it. And you'll hear it as fresh, resonant, "NOW" stuff, too. It's got a life beyond 1982, yes it does.

OK, it's full of 80s gimmicks, the synthesized hand-clap rhythm, etc, but if you're tired of it now, just relax, because it was so new then. And Walder/Stein were among the first and best to plunder the new and the old for sounds that helped deepen their music. I still remember the happy dissonance of that electro-clapping. It worked then, it still does.

For myself, I like this CD a ton. I also love "Under the Eye" and I've worn out the Stein Group's CD "Carousel". These boys have a knack for feeling-ful music, that helps me (maybe you too) figure out whats going on deep in our locked-up hearts and put some musical vocabulary to it. To know it for the first time.

I love that about music. As a favorite professor called it, "the history of an emotion". Stein and Walder are excellent affective historiographers.

The shape of music to come.......2005-06-11

If you wanted to look into the future from back in 1986 and see in what direction music might be heading, all you had to do was to pick up "Transit." Stein and Walder were WAY ahead of the curve. How do I know? There was a young Bruce Hornsby singing on the LP, and Dawn Atkinson contributed vocals and electronic percussion. Joining Bruce and Dawn were Mark Isham and Mike Manring. When you have that kind of support on an album that tells me a great deal. But don't take my word for it - I've only been playing and enjoying music for some three and a half decades. Take a chance. Give 'Foreign Correspondence' an unbiased listen, remembering you're listening to a sound that first came out on LP in 1986. Then enjoy every tasty cut.

Lost Time -- nice song.......2004-10-23

The comparison between this terrific duo's work, 'Under the Eye', and this work, is a bit of a disappointment for the listener. All the originality and rich instrumentation from the other work is here a much simpler ensemble with acceptable result but not as much brilliantness.

The first track, 'The Underground', starts in a very interesting way, but a synth loop gets a bit repetitive.

'Engravings' sounds beautiful although it needs some listens.

'Marseille' sounds a bit poorly instrumentated and maybe should have more instruments in order to be more evocative.

The best track undoubtedly is Walder's composition, 'Lost Time', a great and imaginative song where the piano and the oboe intertwine together perfectly and the melodies are spontaneous and very inspired.

The title track 'Transit' is nice although a bit too commercial.

There's another highlight, 'The Calling'. It's a really uplifting song with a lot of emotion and the beautiful oboe sounds here best than ever.

This album is a part of the progress that led to stunning 'Under the Eye'. Look for that album. It will staunt you.

This is it..........2005-08-30

This is easily my favorite of the Ensemble Unicorn albums, providing an excellent contrast to Carl Orff's far more modern rendition (especially track 13). This CD is a must have, and three of the tracks, Bache, Bene Venies, Vite perdite, and Tempus est iocundum stand out as some of the best renditions of early music that I have ever heard.

This recording blends the impeccable balance of the instrumentation with excellent vocals, (listen for Bernhard Landauer and Eric Mentzel, the countertenor and tenor, respectively). This is as much as you could ask for, and certainly more than you could expect, in an Early Music recording.

A feisty little musical riot.......2005-07-12

If you've ever been even slightly curious as to how Medieval secular music might have sounded but were unsure if it was for you this is a great place to start. At this price Naxos makes musical terra incognita much easier to explore. The results here are an absolute riot and are barrels of fun. There is life, rhythm and colour in abundance - all of which makes it irresistible from start to finish. The only word of warning is that this definitely NOT Gregorian chant and if that is what you want you will be in for a huge shock. The music here is gregarious, bawdy and populated with drunkards and virgins being deflowered. It is really all completely over the top.

As always Michael Posch is to be thoroughly commended for the sheer spontaneity of the musical feast that he unfailingly serves up. Too often music making of Medieval music seems awfully dry and academic - whereas this is way too riotous for that, even though a good deal of musicological research has gone to recreating Medieval performing practice.

The final carrot to go and buy this recording is the fantastic recorded sound. Naxos you have put many a major recording firm to utter shame with this release, who all to frequently demand several times the price for dreadful recordings/transfer - with Virgin Classics being the worst offender. Audiophiles after a miraculous bargain should pounce at the oppurtunity. Soundstaging is glorious, with air around the instruments, balance, detail, focus balanced by some warmth. It is all there for the taking!

A wondrous look into secular medieval music.......2004-09-07

I originally purchased this album because of one song: Bacche Bene Venies. I have heard countless versions of this song from varying quality ensembles.

Out of all the arrangements of any of the original Carmina Buranas, this album contains all of them. The always-brilliant Ensemble Unicorn has once again captured the mood of the music, showing the listener what these songs and poems really were: (often very filthy) drinking songs and poems for the medieval pilgrim. This album is a must have for the early music enthusiast.

More fine familiar material from Ensemble Unicorn.......2003-03-20

Ensemble Unicorn and Oni Wytars, as I've noted in other reviews here, seem to shine especially on one-line monodic material where the performers must make their own arrangements. This is music tailor made to that approach --- especially since not all of the poems have their own tunes, and those that do have them recorded in hard to read neumes rather than staff notation. Melodies for the poems with no music at all are often borrowed from other period pieces.

The arrangements may be too busy for some early music purists, but they are quite entertaining, and the experience of listening to this is more like listening to a pop or folk record than classical music. That makes this recording the most consistently listenable record of the material since Thomas Binkley's versions of twenty years ago. High points of this record are the fine performance of the timely -Ecce torpet probitas- and the duelling fiddles of -Clauso Chronos-. You also get the near-mandatory -Exiit diluculo- and -Tempus est jocundum-.

Such a varied talent!.......2005-06-30

A splendid diversion from his previous style, Croce shows off his true musical virtuosity on TRANSIT. Venturing into more of a "bubble-gum" style of pop music, his layered harmonies and Hammond B3 use harken back to the days of the Zombies, Byrds and even The Beatles (some of which are credited as influences in the album's liner notes.) Needless to say, his strong, witty songwriting continues at the same high level as his previous work. The title itself, TRANSIT, suggests a move in a different direction...that move being musical style, in this case. So, to those critics who are aghast at this change, just sit back and appreciate it. He pulls it off as if it's been his style all along. AJ Croce is truly a varied and special talent...unfortunately underappreciated by today's music listening public. It's their loss!

Rockin and Rollin and DEFINATELY a chip off the old block.......2005-02-10

As a big fan of Jim Croce i was VERY interested in this release. Other sons with famous fathers have had a mixed result from me.

Tal Bachman (father: Randy of Guess Who & BTO fame) is great
Joe Brucato (Father: Chuck of The Rustix) is great too
Jakob Dylan (Father: Bob) isn't as great

I was hoping he would exceed my expectations. Jim was one of the best storyteller songwriters in the history of music.

I was NOT disappointed.

AJ is a phenominal talent. Catchy songs, great hooks. Why isnt he popular? Probably the same reason Joe Brucato isn't. If it doesn't have huge boobs, people dont want to hear you for pure talent.

Here is a song rundown:

1. Maybe

the only single released (i have the 45 in my jukebox) I love the lyrics to this one (as i do with most of the songs on this cd) "Maybe means no everytime"

2. It's Only Me (Oh Ya-Ya)

Not really the best one but it sure rocks!

3. Turn Out The Light

This one rocks too but is alot better of a song. He is a hell of a pianist and shows off his chops here.

4. Summer Can't Come Too Soon

The flipside to Maybe. Another great rocker. I wish i could catch his live show, he has to smoke!

5. The Bargain

Great relationship song. "Oh the compromise we make to make it right" Great guitar solo in here too.

6. Find Out Now

Midtempo song with yet more great lyrics. He doesnt do stories like his dad did. BUT he does have a way with words.

7. Everyman

The weakest track on the cd. Not one of my favorites.

8. What I Wouldn't Do

If you say you've never said this about anything, you are lying. "What i wouldn't do to find a way. What i wouldn't do for one more day" Alot of his songs are breakup song/commentaries.

9. Change

"Do people really change" My answer would be no, seems AJ feels the same way about it. awesome song!

10. Five

Kinda corny lyrics "1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and i'm outta your life" The worst is easily "You're a fridgidaire, and you just don't care" what an interesting way to tell someone they are cold and uncaring. However it's a good rocker.

11. She Was Always Right

The story of my life, hilarious song. Good interplay between AJ and the backing vocalists.

AJ: No i can't admit it
BV: go ahead and say it
AJ: she was always right

Good for ANY guy who's woman thinks she is always right.

12. Don't Leave Me Now

Some reviewer said it wasnt as good as the rest. It is better. "Please say you'll stay, don't leave me now. I'll never leave, i don't know how."

All in all an awesome album. If you are a fan of the singer/songwriter or even his dad, please buy this album (Joe Brucato's album Swallow All Of You is a good compliment to it)

Please read and rate all my reviews

Who made this album!?!.......2004-09-14

AJ is an incredible talent, but I think he was kinapped by aliens or lost a bet. This is not his style at all and is less than impressive. This stuff sounds more like something played at the end credits of a film than the bluesy soul filled tunes I love him for. AJ WHAT HAPPENED?!?!

Not for me this one !.......2004-05-10

First time I heard his voice, I was half sleeping on my coach with a French TV show running on tV. I was imagining a big tall black jazz man singing and playing piano and then I discovered this skinny white young guy and I found it astonishing !!! His music was so great, so smooth, so jazzy and easy listening, I had to get his cds immediatly ! Since then, I had bought all his cds (Fit to serve, That's me in the bar) and always this same joy and happiness just listening to it. But I must confess that for Transit, the magic did not happen... I do not even recognize his voice, so dear to me, on this album. To my opinion it is just common music, nothing really extraordinary. His style is not the same... it is pop music only... Please, Please A.J ...! give us jazz, blues, give us what you're best at ! I'am waiting your next album and I love You !!!!

I just don't understand why I don't see his name on the Top 10 chart. Great songs with great sound quality.

Product Description

""When he decides to, Jon Gavan can climb out of the manhole, show you that the bass is a lot more than a juke thump in the night. Bass as lead -- this cat can lay it down like a black glove with chopped fingers on the throttle. Consider track 10. ""Under Cover of Darkness"". Dynamite groove, cybernetics. Like low contour flying in a chopper... following the canyons, following the coast. Bass as lead, something Jon Gagan excels at... and we ain't talkin' about a Jaco pedal either. In his autobio, Sting talks about ""the cult of the bass"". Cult? What could he mean? Listen to this track and you'll know"". Album also features Ottmar Liebert. -culturecourt.com
