Diego, hero of TV-watching 3-year-olds the world over, has so convincingly stolen the thunder of his adorably bob-haired cousin Dora that he's now upstaging her on actual stages: Go Diego Go LIVE!, the not-to-be-missed family extravaganza, piles on adventure and suspense for forward-thinking preschoolers and their parents, and its soundtrack effectively boils down the experience for repeat listenings. The song titles spell out the story--"Al Rescate, Amigos!," "Get Your Growl Back," "When We Get Down the River," and others hint at the irrepressible Diego's mission to return his jaguar's missing growl. The addition of crowd-pleasers like "Click!," taken from the TV series, and musical horizon-broadeners like "Conga!" and "Merengue!" make this soundtrack an all-around winner. --Tammy La Gorce

4 out of 5 stars Great music for Diego Fans.......2007-07-17

This cd didn't disappoint. My daughter loves it to bits while my husband and i enjoy the good mix of music. It's a cd full of music which caters to the whole family.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent CD.......2007-06-21

I attended the Go, Diego, Go Live! show and it was fantastic. I don't have any children of my own, but the show was great! I liked it so much, I bought the CD at the show ($15.00).

I love the music and singing so much, it never ceases to bring a smile to my face when I listen to it.

If you haven't seen the show you're missing something very special. You can still own the CD, which I highly recommend to all, from ages 5-80.

Not having this music in your collection, especially if you have children or grandchildren is a mistake.

5 out of 5 stars Just like being there!.......2007-05-13

We took my daughter to see Diego Live for her third birthday and she loved it so much that when I saw the Diego Live cd was available I thought that she might like it also. Well she absolutely loves it! She asks us to play it all the time and she reenacts the show along with it. It's just like being there all over again. I would definitely recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2007-03-29

The only thing that is a little strange is that the "Click" song on the CD is sung by a guy. For those who didn't attend the show - a note: This CD doesn't use the Diego-Jake T. Austin voice from the animated show. But my 3 year old didn't care. Adults should like the songs because they are set to really great music with good singers. If you attended the Go, Diego, Go Live! this soundtrack is a must!

5 out of 5 stars Return to Sanity.......2005-07-27

Before Monty Python, before the Beatles, before "'Enery the Aigth Oi Am" there was the subtle, sweet, insdious humor of Flanders and Swann, and their lyrics remain part of the recognition rituals of Ivy Leaguers of the sixties. For any aging hippies or yuppies who find life WAY more stressful than we ever expected, and for whom the down side of alcohol, sex, and drugs has become apparent, I recommend listening several times to "In the Bath". It raises a cry for peace among the nations by inviting all the leaders to sit congenially steaming in a communal bathtub. And they reminding us of our essential self-interest when they add the proviso "as long as Swann and Flanders get the end without the taps." On those nights when we suspect that there isn't any point to it all, reach for the Flanders and Swann. They won't convince you there is any meaning to life, but they'll make it a lot easier to bear. Don't even try to do without it.

5 out of 5 stars Have Some Madeira.......2005-07-06

Not every line in Flanders and Swann has become part of our 37-year marriage, but many have. As our turntables fail, we are pleased that we can relive all the fun stuff we used to collect. Nothing is like this duo, especially what you usually hear as French horn by Mozart converted into "I found that horn go(r)ne." And, of course,
"Have some Madeira, m'dear" is an all-time favorite.

5 out of 5 stars British humour at its best.......2003-03-15

When I started out as a teacher of English, I had the most wonderful colleague as a mentor -- when she retired she gave me three LPs with much of what is on these CDs, and it must be one of the best gifts I have ever been given. Practically all of it makes me smile or laugh out loud (although I must admit that some, like The Armadillo and Slow Train, make me so melancholy that I can just feel my lower lip tremble and my eyes fill up). How can you beat lines like "Hail to thee, blithe Wompom", or "The English are moral, the English are good / And clever, and modest, and misunderstood"? I find they make great listening exercises for my teenaged students as well -- they consider it ancient, but incredibly funny!

5 out of 5 stars If you haven't heard this..........2003-01-16

The great comedic pairing of the late Michael Flanders (vocals) and Donald Swann (piano and occasional vocals) must surely rank among the hall of fame of comic singers and songwriters. Descended from the British music hall tradition, these two men wrote and performed music which still sparkles with wit today, some 40 or more years since it was recorded.

After being told to take up singing as a means of strengthening his polio-weakened lungs, the wheelchair-bound Flanders teamed up with pianist Swann and proceeded to write such classic songs as "The Hippo Song (Mud Mud Glorious Mud)", "The Gasman Cometh", "The Gnu Song", "A Transport of Delight" and many others. As well as a gently satirical spirit, all these songs feature the sublime wordplay and interplay of both men.

The first two discs of this box set are actual concerts - "At The Drop Of A Hat" and its successor "At The Drop Of Another Hat". Recorded at the height of the duo's popularity and form, the sound quality is surprisingly good for recordings this old.

"At The Drop Of A Hat" opens with three of the Flanders and Swann classics. "Transport Of Delight", a song in praise of the "97 horsepower omnibus" features the wonderful harmonies of the duo on lines like "any more fares" and Flanders' dead-on impression of a London busdriver "Geddardait, we're full right up inside". "Song of Reproduction" deals with the new, as it was then, stereo technology and features Flanders delivering an incredible monologue using every conceivable piece of audiophile jargon. "The Gnu Song" (in which "gnu" is pronounced phonetically) is a real treat. The audience's reaction to the reappearance of the gnu is superb.
As well as this opening trio, the disc features Flanders' snippets of "Songs For Our Time" (in which he experiments with conventions of hit songs), "Song of the Weather" (a rundown of English weather throughout the year), "The Reluctant Cannibal" (featuring Swann in the tititular role and the chorus "I can't eat people/I won't eat people/eatin' people is wrong"), Swann's foray into Greek folksong "Kokraki" and the justifiably famous "Madeira M'Dear". The performance ends with a rousing version of "The Hippo Song".
Flanders is in fine voice throughout and his comments introducing each song are delivered with deadpan accuracy. The story behind "The Gnu Song" is an absolute masterpiece. Flanders' monologue about the creation of "Greensleeves" is also superb - "'Greenfleeves'. That's an interesting name for a fong" (referencing old English script) being just a taste.

"Another Hat" begins in equally fine form with "Gasman Cometh" and "Ill Wind". "Gasman", presaged as "a tale of unending domestic upheaval", is sure to have most people who've ever dealt with unreliable tradesmen nodding in agreement, while "Ill Wind" is Flanders' attempt at setting words to a French horn concerto featuring the immortal lines "I lost that horn/lost that horn/lost that horn/found that horn/gorn". The performance continues with Swann's Russian/English song "In The Desert", the ending of which is truly side-splitting. "All Gall" (a reinterpretation of "This Old Man" to fit then-French President Charles de Gaulle) is a little dated but very cleverly done. "Song of Patriotic Prejudice", with its introduction and opening lines grabbing the audience's attention is another triumph, while the "Hippo Encore" is a great end to the performance.
Again Flanders is at his peak. His loving description of the Spanish olive-stuffers ("Olividados") and his superb story about flying ("By Air") are both brilliant examples of the shaggy dog story.
My favourite from both of these discs would have to be "First and Second Law". Flanders decides to educate Swann in elementary science and picks on the first and second laws of thermodynamics ("heat is work and work is heat" and "heat cannot of itself pass from one body to a hotter body") and the repetition of these phrases in time to Swann's barely-there piano accompaniment is one of the finest moments in British comedy.

The third disc is largely forgettable. It begins with a series of animal-related songs performed in a studio and without much of Flanders' rambling introductions. "Warthog" has its moments, while the others were clearly not performed in front of an audience for a reason. "Wompom" is also mildly diverting, presenting a story about a made-up substance which is the answer to everything.
The rest of the disc is then filled out with much earlier material in a rather poorly-recorded concert. "20 Tons of TNT" (related to the calculation the pair had done which gave that as the amount of TNT per person on the planet at the time) provides food for thought, but little more.

Is this box set for everyone? No. Much of the humour both within and without the songs does require a bit of background knowledge to what was going on in Britain and Europe at the time (1960s), John Profumo is referenced a few times as well as Charles de Gaulle and the Common Market, while a smattering of classical music knowledge can help out a bit with Swann's work and "Ill Wind". The fact that my grandfather (who's in his late 70s) recalls hearing these songs and laughing may give an indication as to the age of some of the subject matter. Equally the fact that "First and Second Law" references an awful lot of physics might do the same.

Nevertheless, for anyone who loves British humour done in a gentle manner or who is interested in the source of "mud mud glorious mud/nothing quite like it for cooling the blood", give these CDs some serious consideration.

5 out of 5 stars Gentle Satire.......2002-04-03

I've been singing Flanders and Swann every day In the Bath since I first heard them in 1964. If you don't know them, think Gilbert and Sullivan by way of English music hall and Noel Coward, with a bit of Tom Lehrer musical satire and classic Bob Newhart or Charlie Manna monologues. F&S commented gently on their times: "The purpose of satire, it has been rightly said, is to strip away the veneer of comfortable illusion and cozy half-truth. And our job, as I see it, is to put it back again." Quite simply the best comic songs and patter of the 20th century. Michael died in 1975, Donald in 1994. Goodnight, Mabel Figworthy, wherever you are.

Here are some samples of Michael's verbal wit.

Wordplay:
- "A Transport of Delight," their song of the pleasures of the double-decker bus "has recently been adopted as the theme song of the Underground resistance movement."
- Speculating that Henry VIII wrote Greensleeves: "and the royalties go to royalty."
- About a tennis referee late in the day: "the umpire upon whom the sun never sets."
- Explaining how he was hoisted in his wheelchair onto airliners by a fork lift: "Why they need a great machine like that to lift forks I do not know. Well, they're only plastic, now, aren't they?"
- On status symbols: "The object is to Gunga Din your neighbor: 'I'm a better man than you' is the acid test," and, "let's bang our status cymbals with the best."
- To a disenchanted cannibal: "You used to be a regular anthropophagi."
- Of a lecher: "And he said as he hastened to put out the cat, the wine, his cigar, and the lamps," while the girl "lowered her standards by raising her glass, her courage, her eyes, and his hopes."
- At the corrida d'olivas (the Andorran festival of olive stuffing, not to be confused with the Spanish corrida de toros, or bullfight): "And a great cry goes up of Ole! He has made an 'ol."
- "It's no good going up to a scientist and saying to him like you would to anybody else, 'Good morning, how are you, lend me a quid, and so on.' He'll just glare at you, or make a rude retort."

Throw-aways
- During the height of the cold war the Soviet Union sent the Moscow Ballet on a world tour. Donald sang one chorus of the Hippopotamus Song "mud, mud, glorious mud - nothing quite like it for cooling the blood" in Russian. Michael: "That should improve our cultural relations."
- During the 1963 Mandy Rice-Davies and Christine Keeler scandal: "None of that going around saying no smoke without fire. Nil cumbustibus, Profumo." Also, from "Friendly Duet," "such models of friendship are precious and rare, while the friendship of models is not."
- "Now if you're writing a musical, as I'm sure practically all of you are, . . ."
- Of Donald: "You know that no one has a higher regard for your music . . . than you do yourself. I merely meant that you are not great because you are not dead. If you wish to be great you must stop composing and start decomposing."
- "We never found a rhyme for (Soviet Premier Nikita) "Kruschev" until he was dead: Did he die or was he "pushed off"?"
- "We spent two dreadful, uh, delightful years, entertaining the Americans whose need, let's face it, is greater even than yours. Of course, when we're over there we say that the other way 'round."
- "No matter what you may say about the Germans, and who doesn't . . ."
- "Some of the songs that have made our names a household word, like slop-bucket . . ."
- "They've started testing cars now. They started at 10 years, then 5, now three. There's even some talk of having them tested before they leave the factory."

Absurdities
- "I'm delirious about our new oven fitted with the eye-level grill. This means that without my having to bend down the hot fat can squirt straight into my eye."
- A spectator during the construction of Stonehenge: "So, it's not going to be lived in. Well, that's something anyway. So what is it, then? It's a what?! A calendar?! A bit big for a calendar isn't it? You'd look pretty foolish with that on your desk."
- "Donald knocked himself out this morning. Got one of those new pop-up toasters. Nasty things."

Incredible multiple rhymes:
- "The fair hippoptama he aimed to entice from her seat on her hilltop above, as she hadn't got a ma to give her advice, went tip-toeing down to her love."
- Of Josephine: "Nonsense, said Bonaparte. She lives on her own, apart, in her own apartment."
- "Oh let us be married if our parents don't mind. We'd be happy and inseparable. Inextricably entwined. We'd live happily every after, said the Honeysuckle to the Bindweed."
- "And you'll always see a single lace-less left-hand leather boot. A bootless British river bank's a shock. We leave them there at midnight, you can track a member's route by the alternating print of boot and sock."

4 out of 5 stars so much talent, BUT.......2007-07-14

After reading many of the reviews for both J.Wright's albums, I have to agree their mostly on point. I prefer this release to her debut, possibly because it sounds like she has tempered her anger (and unnecessary cussing) to concentrate on lyrics that really work, all the way around. I have to say though that maybe Ms. Wright's biggest obstacle is "herself." Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with being a "bad girl" and being real with the "I don't give a fu*#" attitude, but I saw her live a few years ago in a small setting, and was very disappointed. She was criticizing her band, the house sound system, and was just in a foul mood. She didn't even come out to thank the crowd, or sing a song for her last set.
I am still a fan of her music, but personally, I she wouldn't be first on my dinner guest list.

5 out of 5 stars Slept On!!!.......2007-01-17

So sad that I have been missing out on this great record for over a year. It would totally not be the case if urban radio wasn't playing crap 24/7. This is one of the best R&B records to come out in years, it is a shame that hardly no one even knows about it. Unreal. Good from start to finish. Not many records being made currently that you can put on and leave it, Divorcing Neo 2 Marry Soul is definitely one of them.

5 out of 5 stars Divorcing Neo to Marry Soul.......2006-11-08

Jaguar Wright does not disappoint with her sophomore record Divorcing Neo to Marry Soul. There is something for all music lovers - house, hip hop, R&B, and soul. The only travesty with the release of this record is that it is not being played on Top 40 Radio. This is a must have for serious R&B and soul music collectors.

3 out of 5 stars ...And that's---bordering on 2 stars..........2006-08-23

....I'm jeeeeeessssst not feelin' her...she okay but she just didn't do it for me...most of her tracks sounds like she is fast 'filling in the blanks' (you know--like you do when you takin' a test and tryin' to hurry up and get outside for recess back in tha' day)...dats how her lyrics come across to me.

The track "Do your Worst"---was to me...wayyyyy too much (you can tell she was really tryin' to get a personal message to some knuckle-head in her life becuz that's all she kept sayin'..."...do yo' worse baby...is that tha' best you got...do yo' worse"...yadda' yadda')----

And damn it WAS--one of the WORSE.

ANNNND WOW!!!--Tha' fact that she 'cursed' a classic like "Woman to Woman" with that getto' rendition...really 'P%#$&d me off! Some classics don't need to be updated..and that was trash to me.

Maybe if I listen to it 100 more timz (make that 1fiddy)...I may get it. Wait!...nope---no I won't. Ain't no sense in me even lyin' bout dat. Immo have to pass on her.

I still got my Lina and Leela James.

Tite name doe...Jaguar...Tite name.

4 out of 5 stars fiesty,strong and vunrable.......2006-03-10

the thing with miss wright is what u c isnt always what u get.Her voice is a powerful machine in which she uses to full advantage.Strong ,angry and very self focused while still maintaining a soft ,sensitive side.Tracks like my place and let me be the one are floaty yet still remain coated in jaguar's fierce sense of self worth and independence.

The highlight for me is woman 2 woman where miss wright adresess her partners bit on the side strong knowlegeable and without dipping into the cliches jaguar maybe neo or old skool but she aint about to get all ghetto on ya ass !x

The latest soul singer to break out from the thriving Philadelphia scene is singer/songwriter Jaguar Wright. (The City of Brotherly Love is the birthplace of legends Patti LaBelle and Teddy Pendergrass as well as more recent arrivals Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Jazzyfatnastees, and Bilal.) Like Scott, Wright came to prominence through her association with hip-hoppers the Roots, contributing her considerable vocal skills to the rap group's "What You Want" (from The Best Man soundtrack) and "The Lesson, Part III" (from The Roots Come Alive). Wright's powerhouse alto works lusty rumbles and righteous wails with an ease that would do Lady Marmalade proud, so it's a shame much of the material on her debut relies heavily on repetitive, ho-hum grooves that mask her potential to let loose and sing. Things work best when Wright taps into the blues-woman/bad-girl vibe you'd expect from a girl named Jaguar, like on the Etta James-style opener, "What If"; the sassy, street-hardened soul of "Same Sh*t, Different Day"; and the tell-it-like-it-is ballad "Self Love," one of the few cuts on which Wright's pipes really get to shine. --Sylvia W. Chan

3 out of 5 stars Timing is everything.......2006-10-05

Once this Artist finds the right time to blossom she will. I must admit I do love the What if's, other than that. I really did not find anything else on this album that excited me. Honestly the what if's is such a powerful song it carried the entire album. So if your feeling the neo-soul movement, then purchase this cd.

4 out of 5 stars Motivation.......2006-07-31

A guy at my job turned me on to this CD. He actually burned me a copy of it after bragging about how talented she was. I loved it and played it out. It actually encouraged me to start listening to more Neo-Soul artist. She talks about more then just being in love, she talks about life and the drama that comes along with it. I also have Divorcing Neo to Marry Soul, get it dont sleep.

1 out of 5 stars This Was A Mess!!.......2006-07-28

Thank goodness I purchased this CD used. It was horrible. I know that Jaguar Wright's voice is much better than this CD. That's why I'm so mad that she let this cat out of the bag.

What's up with all the cursing? She's trying to be the Neo-Gangster of soul? I was very disappointed with this album. It was not a good look and I would definitely think twice before buying anything from her again. I don't recommend this CD to anyone.

4 out of 5 stars Denials Delusions & Decisions.......2005-11-26

I bought this disc in early 2003 after hearing a radio interview during which Jaguar sang 'Love Need & Want You'. I thought her voice was "crazy" and couldn't wait to hear more. During the interview and then after as I read her liner notes, you could hear that this was a young woman who had experienced a lot of pain in her life - she chose to exorcise those demons through her music. If prospective buyers want to give her music a try & are offended by profanity then by all means, get the 'clean' version - you'll still be blown away by this young lady's voice!

The positives about the disc are definitely the production and her voice - there is a live instrumentation feel that drives the whole project & like other 'alternative r&b' or 'neo-soul', if you like, gives music of this genre a signature sound. At 12 tracks, it's succinct and gets to the point - I appreciate discs that have 12-14 tracks of GOOD music rather than those that push it to 22 tracks where 8 of those are skits or interludes.

The standout tracks to me are: THE WHAT IF'S, STAY, AIN'T NOBODY PLAYIN, SAME SH*T DIFFERENT DAY PT II, LINEAGE & COUNTRY SONG.
Although I applaud her ambition for tackling Patti Labelle's LOVE NEED & WANT YOU, I didn't particularly care for her vocal phrasing of the song but it is a hard song for me to hate so she gets props for trying.

If you are a fan of alternative r&b & enjoy listening to new talented singers, then definitely give Jaguar Wright a chance (I just bought her new cd and can't wait to listen to it).

5 out of 5 stars Arguably one of the best debut albums ever,.......2005-08-15

Jaguar's vocals are so strong and soulful, and she has such a wide vocal range. This whole CD is solid material. One of the best debut albums I ever heard. This is what the music industry needs.

This is true soul. Words cannot explain...

I have the CD of"NO LIMIT" and the cassette of "THE HEART OF THE APPALOOSA" I ordered the rest of the CD's and hope to be recieving them in a few weeks.

I have heard two of Fred Small's albums, Heart of the Appaloosa and Jaguar. Both are beautiful to listen to, think about and experience. Fred Small chooses very powerful issues to discuss thru his music. I am eager to hear more of his music.

This was the finest moment from a band that really had a chance to write great riffs and the songwriting shone through, only on this release however. Including the great onrelease tracks (some of which I spent years wishing to find as the re-issue was out-of-print)In another notes a really great release from JAGUAR,missing in action title is JAGUAR-THIS TIME,I really wanna find it someday like others fans of this great band on CDs too,good luck for everybody.

1 out of 5 stars Japanese shredder fires a bunch of blanks.......2006-03-15

There I was in Tokyo and I found my version of heaven. Yamaguchi Towers or something the place was called. Seven floors of music and music related stuff.

Two albums I picked up were this release - which I believe is the first solo album by this guy and also his slightly later album called Wa.

My advice is to go straight to Wa, for this album is horrid. Track 6 is called Gunshots and is one of the few highlights. The rest is dreadful. This guy can really, really play. His style is one that I love so much and it's such an important part of the sound of his usual band Loudness that where this uninspired pile came from is beyond me. It's not badly played - just bad! I must admit that I only have the original recording but even re-recording this wouldn't help, and on the couple of tracks with vocals - it's enough to clear a building.

The title sums this up - it doesn't even make sense. Tusk of Jaguar (take another bite). Seriously, with all the tourists etc around couldn't they of walked out onto the sidewalk to ask a passing Westerner if the title at least made grammatic sense?

Please see my review of his album Wa - which is a totally different beast!

5 out of 5 stars Not for the faint of heart.......2004-04-03

With this CD Reyes takes the listener on a journey into and beyond the sensuous, right into the metaphor where our non-ordinary self has hidden itself from the vulgar obviousness of the consensual reality. This is a world of mystery, feelings, power and gateways. The universe of orgiastic celebration, transcendence and of coldness beyond coldness, evoked by Reyes, has the touch of the impersonal about it. Not for the faint of heart; the Jaguar sun has little mercy for those who resist being devoured.

I find the combination of pre-Colombian percussion instruments and synths in Reyes' music very effective. And I think that many a journeyer will find this music of great value.

5 out of 5 stars Exciting and wonderful Latin and South American music.......2000-12-12

When I heard the theme song "Flight of A Jaguar" with its exciting pulsing jungle beat, when I randomly selected the piece from a sampling music machine, I was immediately sold on getting this CD. It did not disappoint and I literally played the 50 minute CD again and again on my 4 hour drive from Washington DC back to New York although I had a whole collection of CDs with me to listen to. Some of the tracks are melodic Latin pieces and a few others like "Flight" and "Amazonia" have a pulsing South American jungle rhythms with a bit of African influence particularly with the drumming. Part of the proceeds from the album go towards trying to preserve the rainforests so making this purchase also helps that cause. But most of all the music is quite enjoyable and, for the most part, quite lively.

Brilliant. Power Games is an Opus of Glorious Metal Past. Simply a bygone era of Proto Thrash that influenced numerous Metal genres that followed. this is a worthy purchase. TONS of Music for a great price. Also check out their 2003 release "Run Ragged". jaguar is back baby

5 out of 5 stars Clearly a must have if you are into NWOBHM.......2004-02-15

These guys are amazing. I have had this album for a while, but I noticed that nobody had reviewed this album. This 2cd set covers about everything that the band Jaguar has recorded. The first disc has Power Games, which is a relentless heavy metal opus of early 1980s. The second half of disc 1 and first half of disc two contains the album This Time. This Time is a much mellower affair than Power Games but still great. It has been said before, but it bears repeating, This Time has held up quite well. It is simply softer than Power Games and more melodic- trust me, This Time is not some saucy English album with overt synthesizers and prancing theatrics!

Rounding out disc 2 is Jaguar's reformation album of Jaguar, 2000's Wake Me. Wake Me has a new singer, but this guy is a screamer, great powerful voice. Wake Me was one of the best albums of 2000 for frantic metal. This album is classic, and it often feels like a relentless assualt on the senses. Buy it.

Warning- there are a couple Jaguar cds for sale on Amazon that have been purchased by NWOBHM fans which I do not recognize. The only Jaguar LPs by the Bristol, UK band that I know of are Power Games, This Time, Wake Me and Run Ragged.
