Album Description

About this CD (notes from the artist )

Topanga Dreams
Since 1988, I've lived in Topanga, California. This small mountain town has taught me the true meaning of community. By being there for each other, we can make dreams come true. May all your dreams come true...

Katyia's Dance
This song has evolved from being a solo dance performance piece in our Mystic Journey shows into a passionate tango...for two. So grab someone you love and enjoy the dance!

China Lily
This flute was a gift from my Dize (rhymes with pizza) teacher and is one of my favorites. Whenever I play it, I am transported to a place of inner peace and stillness.

Lhasa Love
I found this melody in a book of traditional Chinese folk songs, It was called Tibetan Dance before we transformed it into a lively multicultural boogie!

Aduman
Although there are many dialects spoken in the West African region of Guinea and Mali, the universal word for "sweet" amongst all the tribes is aduman.

Darjeeling Sunrise
Inspired by an Indian sunrise raga, this song reflects the experience that I had when I was on top of Tiger Hill in Darjeeling, India, witnessing a magical sunrise illuminating the awesome Himalayan mountains.

A Poetic Journey..........2004-05-05

I fell in love with the music of The Angels of Venice years ago, and thus when I learned that Suzanne Teng (a former "Angel") had produced a solo work, I was very excited. But the music on this CD easily surpasses anything Teng had done with the Angels of Venice. Lyrical melodies, accompanied by enthnic rhythms on traditional percussion instruments, overlaid with Teng's own haunting performances on Asian flute, transport the listener to another time and another place -- both in this world, and in the "otherworld" created by Teng's mystical music edge. Tibetan singing bowls, Middle-Eastern bells, Celtic strings and a vast assortment of drums and wind instruments create a musical whirlwind that will leave the listener breathlessly awaiting Teng's next musical offering.

Nice!.......2004-01-01

Suzanne Teng, the original flutist with the group "Angels of Venice", breaks out on her own in this playful and exotic 1999 release. Teng shows herself a master of flutistry, not only the playing the standard western "C" flute, but also piccolo, alto and bass flutes, dize (Chinese bamboo flute), ney (Turkish flute) and panpipes. Her tone is rich and liquid, and her improvisations range from jazzy to sinuous to ephemeral depending on the style of the piece. Many of the selections have a strong Near- or Far Eastern flavor, but the mood remains gentle and cheerful throughout the album, without any of the dark intensity that characterizes some of the "Angels'" work. Teng is not alone in "Mystic Journey" either; many guest artists lend their well-established talents to the mix to create ever-varied layers of texture. Gilbert Levy provides intricate world percussion accompaniments, while cellist Martin Tillman, Prince Diabate, Hans Christiansen of Rasa and Greg Ellis of Vas (among others) also pop in to lend a hand, making for a richly orchestrated album that is full of apt and interesting surprises. Occasionally the flute melodies seem a little trite and meandering, qualities that are at odds with the earthy, percussive background, but overall this album is appealing. Teng's simultaneously light and down-to-earth compositions find ways to be relaxing without being boring--a common pitfall for many New Age artists. The music of "Mystic Journey" would be great for warm-ups and slow-dancing for belly dancers, as well as just pleasant listening after a mundane and stressful day at work. Other recordings featuring Suzanne Teng's flute-playing include "Awake Inside a Dream" and "Music for Flute, Harp and Cello" by the Angels of Venice. For more bamboo and metal flute improvisations, in this case without accompaniment, check out also Richard Warner's "Quiet Heart / Spirit Wind".

Fabulous!.......2002-07-05

I ordered this CD after only hearing two songs which I "accidentally" heard while flipping the channels of the television. There was a performance done on Public Access and I was surprised to see that a CD was available. I ordered one for myself and a friend who is a yoga instructor. I love this CD! It is perfect for yoga or meditation or even just in the background while working. The music is heartfelt and joyous and everyone who hears it immediately loves it. I would definitly recommend it, especially if you are looking to expand your collection of instrumental music. Personally, I love flute pieces, so this was a perfect choice for me.

Fabulous.......2001-06-28

I caught Suzanne Teng & Mystic Journey on vacation at this year's Topanga Days festival, but didn't buy the CD. I thought about their music the whole rest of the trip and ordered the CD as soon as I got home. It's truly magnificent and beautiful music, and I could listen to the CD over and over. Perfect background for anything - reading, meditating, special dinners, yoga, whatever. I find myself getting up just to move to the music. They're all very talented and the CD is a real stress-melter.

Makes you want to listen and dance at the same time.......2000-08-31

This is really an excellent independently-produced CD. Some of the tunes are fairly straight-forward, rhythmic wonders with Ms. Teng's incredible flute playing polishing them off. Others are more "world" sounding incorporating thraot singing and chanting. There is not a bad cut on the CD. Listen to Katiya's Waltz, and try to concentrate on the beautiful music while your feet waltz across the floor.

A beguiling album.......2004-10-31

Someone had a brilliant notion in getting Leroy Anderson to write a show. (It wasn't the first time; he was hired for "Wonderful Town" but was ditched in favor of Leonard Bernstein.) That it didn't quite work may owe to the fact that he was largely written out, the best of his imperishable vest-pocket tone poems long in the past. Still, this is an utterly captivating score, superbly interpreted. If you want a complete idea how it sounds you might want to get MCA's budget two-disc anthology of Anderson conducting his own music, including several of the show's dance numbers; they almost make you forget how great Arthur Fiedler was with this master of the pops.

Broadway FLOP yields a HIT original cast album.......2004-02-13

This is another splendid original cast recording from Goddard Lieberson and Columbia records. Great score by Leroy Anderson by a fine cast headed by Elaine Stritch who is in great voice here. Don Ameche is her nemesis/love interest and Pat Stanley nearly steals the show with her first act number "The Pussy Foot."

The record is short (45 minutes) and does not include the dance pice "The Town House Maxixe" which can be heard on MCA's Leroy Anderson collection. What is on the CD is quite delightful and Sony has done a first rate job coaxing excellent sound from the early stereo tapes. The booklet gives a good essay on the history of the trobled show and a detailed plot summary.

a classic cult musical.......2002-10-19

GOLDILOCKS is one of my all-time favorite 'lost musicals'. It struggled through three months and 161 performances on Broadway, only to close after scathing reviews and dwindling audiences.

GOLDILOCKS was written by theater critic Walter Kerr as a love-letter to the silent movies that had captivated him as a child. The story concerns sardonic silent-actress Maggie Harris (Elaine Stritch) who has a stormy love-hate relationship with her cocky director (Don Ameche). Complications arise in the form of beautiful Lois Lee (Pat Stanley), who sets out to steal him for herself. Maggie decides to make one more picture under the assumed name of Goldilocks, and makes one last grab at romance...

The reason why the show failed so miserably was the weakness of the book, which was magnified a thousand times over by the greatness of the score; which features "Lazy Moon", "Lady in Waiting", "The Pussy Foot", "Where is the Beast in You?", and my personal favorite "I Never Know When to Say When".

Through its lovely cast album, the musical has a devout cult following and no wonder. Elaine Stritch in her first Broadway leading-role (after years of supporting work in revivals of PAL JOEY and ON YOUR TOES) and the sparkling score of Leroy Anderson is fantastic stuff. Highly recommended.

Sony Music.

Straight from Broadway's Golden Age: It's Goldilocks!.......2001-06-29

I first discovered Goldilocks through the double draw of Leroy Anderson and Elaine Stritch. Elaine Stritch I already knew as Joanne in Company singing "The Ladies Who Lunch", and Leroy Anderson was one of my favorite composers, known for such light programmatic and novelty orchestral pieces as The Syncopated Clock, Belle of the Ball, Bugler's Holiday, The Typewriter and Plink, Plank, Plunk. That combo of names caught my eye as I was flipping through the record bins one day, and as I scanned the album cover I saw the names Don Ameche, Nathaniel Frey and Margaret Hamilton which absolutely clinched the deal. I left the store with the record and went straight home to play it. From the moment I dropped the needle (yes, I've had it that long) I was captivated, and it has since become one of my perennial favorites.

The score is top notch, particularly in the material for Stritch and the perfectly cast Don Ameche. It does sag a bit in the material for the secondary couple, but I think that's because it's the primary couple who are the comedians while the secondary couple gets stuck with the sappy side of romance. Yes, there are book problems. Walter Kerr later admitted that they kept beefing up the comedy at the expense of the love story, and reading through the book (which through an incredible stroke of good fortune I found at a local Half Price Books) that's a fair criticism. But this weakness doesn't overwhelm the show and make it unworkable. I have to agree with the assessment that with The Music Man already running featuring a slightly more lovable con artist and a sweet rather than brassy leading lady, Goldilocks wasn't able to measure up to the competition. Taken on its own terms though, Goldilocks works wonderfully.

To mention particular favorites of mine in the score, I have to start with Stritch's Act 2 torch song, "I Never Know When To Say When". Why didn't this become a standard? It stacks up with the best Broadway has to offer. You can hear the pain in Stritch's voice as she laments the mess she's made of her relationhips. "Give the Little Lady" near the top of Act 1 doesn't really cover much in the realm of plot, but it's just so much fun, and "The Beast In You" never fails to get me laughing. All of these feature Stritch alone or with the chorus, but her duet with Ameche, "No One'll Ever Love You", is just as good, and Ameche's solo number, "I Can't Be In Love", in which he discovers to his astonishment that he is indeed in love, is priceless. Then on top of that is "Bad Companions" for Don Ameche's shady sidekicks Nathaniel Frey (an excellent comic character actor who appeared in many better known shows such as Damn Yankees and She Loves Me) and Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch of the West sings!) which is a hoot from start to finish. These are the standouts in my book, but the whole score is eminently listenable, pleasant and tuneful. Of course with Leroy Anderson writing the music it couldn't be anything else.

I sometimes wish I had been born 30-40 years earlier so I could have actually seen what I am only able to get the barest hint of from reading the libretto and listening to the cast album. I strongly recommend to anyone who has had enough interest to wind up here reading these reviews to make this show a permanent part of your collection. More people need to know this show!

Worth your investment - A real delight!.......2001-01-14

Having learned about the life of Leroy Anderson through the recent PBS story on his career,I was very interested to hear this famous composer's only Broadway show.

This original cast recording is a gem. The majority of the songs are first rate, the perfomers are all first rate and the recording quality sounds as fine as anything on the market today. What a shame that the show had such serious problems, such as a weak book and opening with such hits as West Side Story and Music Man already running on Broadway.

Aussie's that Whisk Us Back to What Was Good in Music.......2005-12-18

From Smother Magazine www.smother.net:

Bringing Brit-pop and smashing into R&B flavored electronica ala Jamiroquai, The Wildlife sway their heads back and wail. Catchy with funneled pop hooks, "Sweet Plastic" has nifty beats and a lo-fi vibe. Dance rock has been taken to the headlines with acts like The Killers but I dare say The Wildlife make it challenging and more poignant. The album was produced by Alex Newport whose past work has included such luminaries and groundbreaking acts like The Mars Volta, System of a Down, and Erase Errata. Not many bands have this much soul delivering it with contagious effectiveness and with a sense of urgent need to rock out with your hair down.

Retro, orgasmic, sexy, groovy album........2005-10-18

This album entises the listener with its healthy mix of sexy retro beats and sounds mixed with a fusion of funky grooves, seductive enough to make you want to listen more. Mishka's voice is strong and deep. The melodies easy to listen to. The song words are real. The songs are refreshing yet have a catchy familiarity to them. A fresh Aussie sound, powerful and original.

The debut CD from eLeCtRoRgAnIcSuPeRpOp band GloveboX is a superb collection of modern dancey, funky, trippy & electro beats containing quirky, infectious and melodic tunes with an eighties feel. Lyrics filled with wide ranging emotions - smart and eclectic, with outstanding vocals.

1. Superstar - has that trans-continental feel to it... dance dance dance, get into it!
2. In The End - the DEFINITIVE summer song!... or to give you that nice summer feel in winter (whatever hemisphere you're on) Yeah!
3. Never Be The Same - `Never come back'... listening to this song will take you places... and you WON'T want to come back. The orchestration and production is GRAND!
4. Serendipity - slum da dum dee, you'll be singing this one over and over all day and night long! `There comes a time'... when you'll NEED to hear this song over and over. The time is now, with its infectious grooves and cool beats.
5. Sunday Morning - Nice slow groove which builds up to a peak and then eases you back down nice and gently.
6. Human Condition - You'll feel VERY REAL after hearing this. Immerse yourself into the GloveboX sound.
7. Warmin' Up - Another cool summer song.... dance... dance... dance! Let the music move you!
8. Sad Day - A tale of despair - sad in a happy kind of way. Mellow, relaxed yet powerful and poignant vocals. Brilliant!
9. The Girl I Love - Grooves and beats.... ahhh simply beautiful!
10. $10 Whore - oH Baby! This song will definitely turn you on.
11. I Want You - DOOT DOOT !! I love this song. Will make you NEED to get up and dance EVERY time you hear it. Killer synth lines and dirty guitar riffs.
12. Flying Free - groooovey
13. The Girl I Love [Black & White Mix] - stripped down eighties synth beat with an acapella-like vocal which develops into 90's & beyond Club Sound. Could go on and on for a longer extended mix though. A pretty cool edit none the less.

PLAY THIS CD LOUD and let the songs overtake you... this album is in cInEmAsCoPe - close your eyes while listening & you can practically SEE the songs.. WOW - Can't wait for more!!
If you get the chance to see GloveboX LIVE, SEE THEM @ ALL COSTS - as fantastic as the CD is, multipy it by 100 and you'll kind of get the idea of how awesome they are LIVE - The songs lend themselves very nicely to the live arena; GloveboX give you a fantastic stageshow and fun to be had by all!
GloveboX ARE definitely destined for HUGE things.
Buy this album.... and it won't leave your CD Changer for many years to come. I guarantee it.

Delicious***.......2005-09-18

A musical feast for the ears and spirit! It's subtle, yet very sexy, but in a very sensual, soothing sort of way...and it is full of muscial promise and brimming with delightfulness. Listening to it and ingesting the melodies is like standing under a water fall of rose petals...and being showered.

Terence Blanchard did an outstanding job on this project...I often play this CD early in the morning while sipping my tea and contemplating my day and my life, or very late at night when I need to unwind. It's a perfect companion for warm breezy evenings, as the sunsets, and also it is great when coupled with a fireplace and cold winter nights.

If you can find this gem for less than $30.00, you've found a bargain, so grab it! It's out of print, but certainly isn't out of mind..it stays in the forefront of my music collection.

As sensual as the movie...........2002-05-29

I am a great fan of soundtrack music. If you are as well, and if you enjoyed the movie, you need this CD in your collection.

Strangely after seeing the movie I realized I hadn't really noticed the music, a very unusual occurrence. Upon listening to the CD and re-watching the film, I realized they were so closely joined the music had become almost subliminal.

The sensuality and beauty of the film overwhelmed my senses and the music just seemed so well-suited that it all blended. The CD made me aware that the smooth sensuous sounds had just washed over me while I was entranced in the film. They still do everytime I listen. The music even without the film works beautifully.

Give a listen yourself and feel the seduction.

*Enchanting*.......2001-10-11

Very smooth, sensual music. For those that saw the movie you will feel like you are right there in Cuba with Julia and Louis. Great for relieveing stress and putting you in a seductive state of mind. Definately a Great buy!

simply Beautiful.......2001-10-09

I've seen the movie and fell in love with the music. This is a warm, sensual composition that makes you want to be in a southern country relaxing by the beach. No big complex orchestration, just plaisant and simple melodies that makes your mind escape to a another world. Definitly a must buy for fans of carefuly composed scores.

Sensual!!.......2001-08-14

Very exotic and sensual! I loved the beat and the mood! I would definetly recommend this music if you like the Movie.

Album Description

Ball of Design is a record full of anger and hope. Much darker, more epic, and undoubtedly more political than their last album, 1:3:1, Ball of Design features a more focused Dufus—both figuratively and literally. Dufus has gone from fifteen members to a fit five: Strictly Beats on drums, Rick on guitar, Marko on bass, Lucas Crane phd on analog arts (probably the best tape deck-ist in the universe) and mastermind Seth Faergolzia on vocals and guitar. This is hippie death metal that is changing the world.

On Ball of Design, Dufus choose to eschew some of their more wacky leanings—no jocks carrying dildos or more girl cops. Nope, this time you, the listener, are asked to forget all you think you know, about music, about your life, to "set aside your idiot for a minute" and pay attention to a great rock record.

Spirited jamming rock for open minds.......2005-03-26

Powerful ideas meld with street-level jamming. Big and chaotic, but still coherent and tribal-intimate. In other words, a fine balance of elements. The epic "Freedom" takes awhile to get off the ground before wielding and sustaining that power, but I take that as a metaphor for the title subject.

Seth Faergolzia is in the lead for this band of brothers, musical rainbow warriors lifting the discourse about what is worth fighting for.

All players bring a powerful presense to the noisiness = This is not randomly-made sound. Choices are made as they open up the performances and themselves to exciting possibilities beyond the performers' control. Sometimes what's beyond their control may at first seem to some ears as noise, but they limit -- or control, if you will -- the amount of what is beyond their control.

To sum up "Ball of Design": Universal themes are given unique expression. The album is like a fine home-brewed spirit that is all the more amazing for not having been mellowed for the larger marketplace.

I'd liken Dufus to what Polyphonic Spree would sound like if they were making a bloody, balls-out and ultimately beautiful racket.

Enhancing the musical experience, be prepared to encounter oddly-spelled words among the lyrics provided: If they were just misspelled, I'd be screaming bloody murder, but they're so persistent they provide a side stained window into Seth Faergolzia's mind. More insight at dufus.tv. And something I almost never experience, I fell in love with the inscrutable cartoons peppered in the album graphics.
