5 out of 5 stars Everybody knows.......2007-04-12

1975's finest. Perhaps one up- or mid-tempo tune short of an all-the-way (explosion, fireworks) masterpiece (that closing track is a touch maudlin), Between The Lines nevertheless blows out Ian's nearest "rivals" (Carole King, Billy Joel, Stevie Nicks and, dare I say, Paul Simon) and makes a serious claim for one of the 70's preeminent essential LP artifacts.

The success here, I believe, is that Ian (already a songwriting master by '69) keeps the chords simple enough to let her mesmerizing blasts of lyrical wisdom run their course. And there is sagacity, however embittered, on every track. The arrangements are smart, providing properly discreet shading to Ian's soul-inflected folk (and, occasionally)cabaret musings.

Ian sings a mean, low-key revelation. Even when her lyrical and sonic milieu is the tawdry dancehall ("Bright Lights and Promises"), she never showboats. Ian has the inspired ice of Peggy Lee. "The Come On," a deeply dire meditation on cheap love and low esteem, never lapses into sobbing gymnastics. Ian just delivers the bad news like an X-ray. Perfect every time.

There is a fiber-optic perfection to Ian's poetic observations. Male radio programmers and DJs were compelled by burning telephone lines, not market imperatives, to air "At Seventeen" - a startling runaway hit (prefiguring the later, bolder success of Suzanne Vega's "Luka"). It was simply heavy lasers set to kill. Ian didn't hit the mark, she expunged it.

What an artist.

5 out of 5 stars A great memory!.......2007-01-15

Listening to this CD brings back memories of my "younger" years. It still is as pertinent now in its wording as it was back then...just in a different way. A great rememberance.

5 out of 5 stars Between the Lines.......2007-01-10

One of the best voices God ever created. A mix of rock and easy listening to words and music you can understand. Every line connects with the very core of every human being that listens to her. Janis Ian is a true voice in the music industry.

4 out of 5 stars THE LAST OF THE '70's SONGWRITERS.......2006-02-26

Some of Janis Ian's wordplay could make a bad poet blush. Take this line from her adolescent hell signature song, "At Seventeen", a tune betrayed by this bizarre description of teenage alienation, "Their small town eyes will gape at you, (gaping eyes?), in dull surprise when payment due, succeeds accounts received at seventeen". How's that, a teenage accountant? Or this from, "Tea and Sympathy", "Pass the tea and sympathy, for the good old days are long gone, we'll drink a toast to those, who most believe in what they've won." Never have I wanted to drink a toast to those, who most believe in what they've won. But just when you want to file these feminist minded, man-eating compositions under aimless testements, Ian slam bangs the finish with two monumental orchestrated numbers questioning the choice between laying down to the death of a lifetime with your lover, or the freedom artistic pursuit and single-hood can offer, making all her previous meandering diatribes sound meaningful. Here the album stands up and says hello, and the crescendoing climax calls you back for another listen. Some nice touches here and there as well, including a brooding cello solo at the end of, "Water Colors".

5 out of 5 stars Awesome walk back in time........2005-07-13

I owned this album (vinyl) in the 70s and it's as great today as it was then. Was very glad to find it in CD, and can now share this incredible music with my kids. Thanks!

4 out of 5 stars Two tracks I really like.......2007-07-21

The Mission Impossible theme is performed well.
The Fireball theme is actually much improved on this version. I prefer the orchestra and the vocals over the original.

2 out of 5 stars Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

3 out of 5 stars Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

4 out of 5 stars One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

Album Description

"As clean and airy and sophisticated and disciplined as post-modern progressive jazz gets." - JAZZTIMES

Ralph Alessi has received a lot of praise over the past fifteen years--as a sideman for Steve Coleman, Uri Caine, Don Byron, and more--but his career as a leader is just beginning! Through Ravi Coltrane is the son of Alice and John Coltrane, his successful career is based not on his name but on his fully rounded sound and individual way of playing.

4 out of 5 stars a review that uses musical terms pretentiously and with probable inaccuracy.......2007-04-03

For a trumpet-led quartet with a lyrical sound and traces of classical influence, try Ralph Alessi and his group This Against That.
While Alessi has played as a sideman for Steve Coleman (alto sax), Uri Caine (piano) and Don Byron (clarinet), among others, *Look* is his fourth album as a leader. In several compositions here, Alessi demonstrates a preference for ostinato and diminuendo; for example, in "Hands," two repeated measures gradually decelerate at the finish to a slow fade.
On four of the 12 tracks, Ravi Coltrane (tenor sax) joins Alessi; in the title tune, their two horns interplay sinuously over Andy Milne's insistent piano. On "Lap Nap," Milne contributes staccato piano notes that transform into a funky solo. Drew Gress uses his bow to coax eerie mourning sounds out of his bass on "Platform Velvet."
On this Between the Lines release, though, Alessi's creative oscillations with Coltrane are what to *Look* for. (If you download just one track, make it "Old Beady Eyes.")

5 out of 5 stars With Look, his second outing featuring his band This Against That . . ........2007-03-11

Ralph Alessi has found his métier. Alessi has always displayed huge chops and an interesting concept. The problem has been that he has struggled to find the right approach to solving the basic jazz enigma: how to make a genuine contribution to the music without being either too weird (Hissy Fit) or too esoteric (Vice & Virtue, Phfew). With his new quartet, This Against That, he's landed on just the right format to optimally display his considerable talents, and his new disc, Look, has all the earmarks of an instant classic.

His band is certainly a formidable one. Let's start with pianist Andy Milne, a player of whom I have only slight knowledge. The Canadian-born, Brooklyn-based pianist and keysman not only leads the Nu Jazz band, Dapp Theory, but has played extensively with Steve Coleman and other M-Bass Collective members, Ravi Coltrane, and Carla Cook. I really love his piano concept: very mysterioso/minimalist, but capable of stunning solo statements. Check out his work on "The Tooth Fairy and Pistol Pete" to see what I mean.

Bassist Drew Gress certainly needs no introduction to anyone at all familiar with cutting edge jazz. A member of the brilliantly quirky Claudia Quintet, lead artist on the widely praised outings 7 Black Butterflies and Spin and Drift, as well as five other discs, contributor to the music of artists as diverse and renowned as Tim Berne, Don Byron, Uri Caine, Bill Carrothers, Fred Hersch, Tony Malaby, Mat Maneri, Ben Perowski, and others, Gress is among the foremost practitioners of his instrument alive today. One of the things he brings to this music is a thorough knowledge of both classic and "out" jazz, plus the ability to move with perfect naturalness in each. His solos are masterpieces of economy and imagination.

This is certainly Mark Ferber's greatest outing. Given room to stretch out, he's all over his kit, now driving, now providing coloration, now percussively shaping everything around him. I also like how up-front he's recorded. Really, he sounds like about 10 great Downtown drummers all wrapped up into one, but still maintaining his own distinct approach and personality.

Leader Alessi has matured greatly since I last heard him (on Hissy Fit, I think), especially in the areas of band leadership and composition. He's always had a wonderfully warm yet dry trumpet sound, thoroughly modern, but steeped in the history of the instrument. For me the high point of his playing on this disc come in the four pieces that include Ravi Coltrane on tenor sax. Their quirky, edgy, harmonically daring interaction always intrigues even as their incredibly precise intonation astounds. Yet there's nothing either aridly academic or out-for-out's-sake unapproachable about their playing: just joyously eccentric conversation unfailingly listenable.

But it's the compositions (all by Alessi) that make the strongest impression. Far removed from both the hackneyed approach of wallowing in past jazz glories (especially, God forbid, hard bop) and superficially appropriating hare-today-goon-tomorrow pop-music ephemera (hip-hop, lounge, house), this music rings with hugely original and completely diverse compositional strategies, as if Tin Hat met the Claudia Quintet.

Certainly the finest music ever purveyed by that generally avant-garde label, Between the Lines, and some of the most provocative, listenable, and endearing music of the new century. This is what jazz is all about: forward-looking, but rooted in the past; edgy, but accessible; brilliant, but friendly. Absolutely not to be missed.

I lucked into this at one of my local department stores. I was favorably impressed with the band. Some of the songs I consider favorites.

like anything else its' hit and miss, but there some nice pop rock going on here.

1 out of 5 stars "Better Be Good To Me" NOT THE FULL ALBUM VERSION.......2007-03-11

I have to rate the "Spider LP" a "5" but I rate this CD release 1. This terrific original version of "Better Be Good To Me" is butchered for this release. Come on guys.

"BETTER BE GOOD TO ME" This is the ORIGINAL VERSION much ....I was going to say different but I really meant better than Tina's version sorry Tina nothing personal. Get the LP it's a nice press. A great early morning dance song. Thank you Lance Wise for turning me on to it.

5 out of 5 stars Old Memories!.......2007-03-10

This is such a great collection...It also made me go out and get Hollys solo stuff!!! Lots of great songs that are fun to rock out to...Worth every penny!

3 out of 5 stars Uneven.......2006-11-05

This is a reissue of Spider's first two albums. The first 10 songs (their first album) are brilliant! There's heaps of energy, good songwriting, and the *amazing* voice of Amanda Blue. The band includes Anton Fig (now the drummer in David Letterman's band) and Holly Knight (one of the top songwriters of the 1980s.) This was one of my favorite albums on vinyl and it holds up extremely well today.

The last 10 songs are less than spectacular - probably the result of a band returning to the studio before they were ready, with second-string songs. While the musicianship is good, the recording lacks energy - and the songs just aren't as good.

There is a slight technical problem with songs 5 & 10 - about a 30 second silence at the end of each song (these were at the end of each side of the vinyl album. Hmmm...) I used an mp3 editor to remove the silences & return the tracks to their original lengths for iTunes - most people aren't going to be able to do this.

Buy this CD for the first 10 songs - you won't be disappointed. Just ignore that stuff at the end.

4 out of 5 stars A great secret of the era..........2006-02-12

Spider were not unkowns, they had a radio hit or two. But over time, the quality of these two albums has been emphasized by the effect the band had later on: Covers of these songs became definitive singles for other artists - particularly John Waite's on "Change" and Tina Turner's "Better Be Good to Me". Drummer Anton Fig became legendary for his nightly appearances with David Letterman. And keyboardist/writer Holly Knight had scores of Top Ten singles written for other artists: Animotion, Pat Benatar, etc.

These two albums on CD are a long-realized dream for the many avid fans of Spider. They may not have been "cutting edge" of anything, but they were a SOLID rock band with pop-accessible songs. Sounding somewhat like a cross between Cheap Trick, the Producers, and Fleetwood Mac, they mixed some neat new-wave aspects with 70's hard rock. Ballads were also a strong suit, and there are certainly #1 hits hidden in here for other artists looking for that perfect "cover" to do...

As magnificent as all other Dixonia (all I've heard, anyway - very little of his recorded work is available). Koglman, as well, is an able brassman, and the presence of Steve Lacey adds that much more. It *feels* like a Dixon record, although his voice doesn't ride quite as high in the mix as on other documents.

Bill Dixon is THE living trumpet player. He demonstrates virtuosity in the extreme ranges of his instrument, explores baffling extended technique - but he's also a beautiful composer (in a pan-tonal way, post-Webern) and thinker. This is 'free music' that can be approached; in fact, it can actually serve as background music! It *does* merit close listening, however, for those so inclined.

HIGHLY recommended (as are the 2 Papyrus disks, Live in Italy, and Vade Mecum)

The third installment from England premiere group which they showed out as expected. This cd contain the sound of soul, rock, and pop with a touch of quiet storm if you please. 1.Somewhere Somebody, a real rock and roll single that really made you get up and move something. 2.Whenever You're Ready, a fast pace dance single with a video that showed off their incrediable dance moves were still intact. 3.Strong As Steel, a great quiet storm single that showed off Denise's ever growing vocal range,this was the best single for me, and in the video, they still had cold dance moves for this slow jam! 4.Read Between the Lines, a real nice pop single, not worthy of the title of this album, but hey..what do I know? 5.Living Giving Love, a nice slow jam, not quite total r&b and not quite pop, just in between the lines(no pun intended)6.Ain't Watcha Do, its alright..kinda dancey single. 7.Made Out of Love, sound real popish..crossover for-sure-man. 8.You Should Have Waited, Lorranine sang lead on this one.and it sounds pretty good, kinda fast pace and puts you in the mind of Paula Abdul sound at this time. 9.Knock Twice, Doris sang the lead on this one and this was a funky kind of groove type song...real easy to dance to and move to. 10.Hard Race, hear we go, another Rock song with Denise in the lead, I don't care for rock songs, but I was able to deal with this one, not one of my favotes..but I love the words to this song. All in all, this album wasn't bad at all, would have thought it should have had more released singles, but hey, what do I know? Here are a List of other Five Star cd; Luxury of Life, Silk and Steel, Rock the World, 5 Star, Shine, Heart and Soul, Eclipse, and several Greatest Hits cds. I hope this review was helpful to you. Thank You.

5 out of 5 stars Suprisingly good for a sampler CD.......1999-06-27

I would never buy a "sampler cd", however, my mother in law had purchased this album at the local drug store and I was stuck in the car with her one day. Man was I in for a shock!

This album has a guitar plyer with the stylings of Larry Carlton and the band reminicent of "Foreplay", however, it grooves much better than these two artists. The styles between the songs vary quite nicely from Rock, Fusion, soul, new age, and some latin influences.

If your a lover of contemporary Jazz fusion but still like a strong groove and a good melody I strongly suggest this album....even if it is a sampler.

      5 out of 5 stars Just as good, if not better than studio!.......2004-10-06

      This is by far one of my favorite live albums. Great set of songs. The only real problem I have with it is that the copy I bought in on of the local stores around my house, only has the first 15 tracks. I don't know if I got jipped, or if Amazon has just simply made a type o.

      This is a great album to introduce yourself to Turbonegro. If you enjoy it, I reccomend getting Apacolypse Dudes and Ass Cobra. And if you really like it, maybe Scandinavian Leather.

      4 out of 5 stars Fantastic Live Album.......2004-06-05

      You couldn't be there, so hear it like you were. This is a warts and all document of two shows before Hank's breakdown. For a band so close to the edge, they were sharp as a knife. Fantastic recording of a fantastic band. My only complaint would be that Euroboy is not loud enough in some parts, so the solos don't slice like they should. If you've already got all the other albums, there's no reason you shouldn't have this one.

      1 out of 5 stars Sorry dudes, but nah not really. Don't buy!!!!!!!!!.......2004-02-18

      Having all their other albums up till the point this one came out, with Ass Cobra as a clear fav, I had some expectations. Ah, but no. The sound is so incredibly bad, that it makes Ass Cobra sound polished, which I'm sorry to say is not a good thing, their version of "I got Erection" lame beyond belief and quite frankly, if you're there and @##%ed up on various stimuli, then it is rather cool to listen to the moronic stage patter, but dead sober it is just right down embarrising listening to Hertis (the lead singer) shouting the Norwegian word for, you know the pleasure center of women, for 5 minutes. Ah well they can't all be as good as Ramones' Its Alive, but this bad??? Come on!!!!

      5 out of 5 stars Pick this up now!!!.......1999-10-09

      If you're reading this, you probably already know how great this band is. Live album from last few dates of European tour before they broke up (again). Amazingly, they sound better (and rougher) live than in the studio. Most of the songs are from "Apocalypse Dudes" but there are a few from "Ass Cobra". Unfortunately, nothing from their early days. Nonetheless, a great live album. Vinyl version comes with extra songs, limited edition poster and artwork.
