Soothing.......2004-06-21

I discovered Christine Glass via a sampler album in the late 1990s, which had the song "Waterfall" on it. I knew immediately I had to get her albums! The first Christine Glass album I got was her album previous to this one, "Human." Christine Glass is one of my favorite female vocalists, so I really enjoyed that album because of that. But the album was a bit too sleepy for me.

I like "Love And Poverty" much better. It has the same general style as "Human," which is acoustic and electric guitars played in a gentle way, but "Love And Poverty" uses more electric guitars and the album is more uptempo than her previous one. That's not to say it's an album of fast tempos; it still has a relaxing, laidback sound to it, made even more soothing by her beautiful soprano, whispery vocals. Also, her vocal melodies tend to be more of an ethereal nature, which is also something perfect for my tastes.

The last song on the album is striking. It's a break away from the electric-acoustic guitar sound with solo vocals, to a Renaissance kind of sound with vocal harmonies accompanied by cello. Interesting!

I am so disappointed that Christine Glass's solo albums never took off because they are definitely beautiful albums. She is now performing with her husband, Mark Byrd, in Glassbyrd, but she seems to have more of a background role in that entity, which is disappointing. I like to hear her voice front and center. I also enjoy the song she sings on Andy Hunter's album "Exodus."

I have listened to this album a lot; it is excellent! I like every song on the album. Perfect for a peaceful sunny day in summer.

A MUST HAVE for any Alternative Lover!.......2000-03-08

Christine Glass is an awesome singer and the perfect antidote to anyone looking to get away from angry rock. Unlike Monique Powell (who i'm a big fan of) or Sarah McLaughan, she doesn't growl but shows a soothing quietness in her voice that reflects her emotions. Lyrically, she has some beautiful stuff (try listening to the first track) Christine Glass is an underrated diva!

One of the BEST of '99!.......1999-11-15

Wow...is this cd being ignored? If so, it's a total crime because this cd is outstanding. It betters Christine's '97 debut. "Love and Poverty" sounds very much like Common Children's "Delicate Fade" because of the production of Marc Byrd (and Glass sang on that cd also). I am just totally falling for the BIG melodies on this disc...if you are considering buying this cd or investigating it further I strongly recommend you do so.

This is my favorite CD!.......1999-08-21

Christine Glass is my favorite artist. Although I do not have this exact cd I have one called "Human" with most of the same songs on it including her hit, "Crazy All Around". Almost all of her songs are as good if not much better than that one! Christine has a beautiful voice that she uses in a wonderful way to sing powerful, uplifting songs about God. I would recommend her to anyone looking for awesome Christian rock. I can't wait for her to come out with another CD.

Better than CCM.......2005-03-02

Steve Bell is one of those Christian Artists who inexplicably (or maybe intentionally) doesn't make it into the CCM (Contemporay Christian Music) mainstream. Think Mark Heard, Bob Bennett, the Lost Dogs, or any of their pack.
Steve Bell's style and vocals remind me of early Dan Fogelberg, while his content is as powerful as that of Keith Green, or Rich Mullins' best works. A great singer/songwriter in anybody's book. Give this one a chance, and you won't be sorry.

Look for the older albums.......2001-11-02

Steve Bell is perhaps the finest living contemporary Christian songwriter and a fine fingerstyle guitarist as well. If you like Rich Mullins, Bruce Cockburn, Keith Green, Larry Norman, Don Francisco, etc, you'll be pleased to find Bell "of that ilk," though with his own personal stamp.

What most folks don't know is that Bell has been doing this a long time. Beyond a Shadow collects songs from his four studio albums of the last ten years. He has three albums since this first came out, availble only in his native Canada or via mailorder (though I have seen the live album in the states repackaged to look like a new studio album).

For my money, I'd say, seek out the live album first. If you like that, skip this collection. Instead, find Bell's website and buy the whole lot. You won't be disappointed.

Great album!!!.......2001-10-24

Thsi album has to be the best that i heard since Rich Mullins Liturgy. It has really ministered to me a great deal. His music is very honest and you can tell that he really loves the Lord.

A must have for cool Christian music fans!.......2001-03-17

I'd put this on par with Rich Mullins. I just got this cd in the mail after hearing Shepherd of Life on the radio. This cd rocks. At times it sounds like Jorma (from the secular group Hot Tuna), other times like Loggins and Messina. It truly is a must have!

In August 1998, a bomb exploded in a shopping area in Omagh, Northern Ireland, killing 29 people and injuring 200 more. One of the fatal victims was a 12-year-old boy named Shaun McLaughlin, who wrote a precociously poignant antiwar poem entitled "Across the Bridge of Hope." This tragic irony is, sadly, a recurring theme in the saga of Northern Ireland's violence, so it wasn't difficult to compile 12 songs, from some of Ireland's most famous musicians, that triumphantly honor those who suffered or died in Omagh. The CD opens with actor Liam Neeson somberly reciting Seamus Heaney's poem The Cure at Troy and winds down as he reads the album's namesake prose. Sinead O'Connor croons proudly and reverently atop a scuffling, soft-shoed hip-hop rhythm in "Chiquitita." Boyzone and the Corrs' contributions cast off any dismissible pop stardom in this context, with songs that sweetly honor their lost countrymen and -women. The gentle wake of Van Morrison's acoustic version of "The Healing Game" pacifies a grieving soul. U2's "Please" is direct, angered, and entirely devastating. Throughout, the songs embody the inextinguishable spirit of the Irish--vivacious, stalwart, enduring, faithful. For every fire, there is always the rain, and this CD is a magnificent cloud. --Beth Massa

This concert was held to draw attention to the continued troubles in Ireland. While some of the performers are not well known in the US, they carry this selection. U2, Van Morrison & Sinead make touching offerings. But, it is the Irish folk influence heard throughout the performances that I really liked.

I'm very happy to get this lp's on CD. She is singing from heart. Melodies and words are toughing. Very good CD.

Laughter in your Soul.......2001-07-19

Laughter in Your Soul/Growing Pains by Jamie Owens Collins takes you back to earlier years with her joyful music and meaningful lyrics. You can feel the power of Laughter in Your Soul and Growing Pains. Let it touch your life and put laughter in your soul.

A joy to hear after so many years.......2000-12-28

Growing Pains was the first "Contemporary Christian" recording I ever bought, way back when that terminology didn't even exist yet. Song after song still sound fresh and inspiring, and Jamie's rendition of "My Jesus I Love Thee" is now no longer just a precious memory. I was not familiar with "Laughter in your Soul" but am enjoying that, too. With Terry & John Michael Talbot on guitars, Keith Green's piano playing, Jamie's lovely voice, and divine inspiration, how can you go wrong?

Two recordings from the 1970's that is just as good today!.......1999-07-22

Jamie Owens-Collins has a great voice and you can get her first two albumns for the price of one! You don't want to miss this one. Kieth Green also makes his non-vocal debut on the Growing Pains albumn by playing the piano! You can certainly hear his distinctive piano on there. I really like both of these albumns as they are gems. Don't miss her latest recording "Seasons" as it is also excellent!

Physically Mezmerizing.......2006-12-26

The energy i felt listening to this series the first time was very similar to what i felt when i became certified for Reiki III, i asked my local Reiki Master about DNA Activation and he said he'd tried it on his own through meditation and he highly recommended it.

The first time i tried the CDs, i laid down and listened to all four CDs with headphones on (over 3 hours of music). Before listening to the CDs i fixed my intent to "Heal and Activate my DNA, raise my vibration, expand my heart and awareness".

Immediately i started vibrating and this lasted the entire time, nerves in my face and feet started twitching uncontrollably (though not at the same time and not for very long, just long enough to let me know there was a definite correlation between the music and my physical body).

Vibrations and tingling occurred at different places in my body and at different times but were strongest around my Heart Chakra. At one point my head felt like it became very dense and heavy, if felt like my head was buried deep in my pillow and grounded to the earth, visually i saw colored lights and towards the end of the 4th CD, i felt waves of energy flowing from my head to my feet. When i got up my entire body continued to vibrate, especially noticeable in my upper lip where the nerves were twitching, again this did not last very long.

I listen to all four CDs in a row at bedtime, each CD is roughly 45 minutes long and i'm usually out cold before the first one ends but the manual says it's fine to sleep to this music and the effects still register. I hear something new and find it is a different experience each time i listen.

Stark, harsh, musical, out at the edge No Wave NYC trio.......2006-01-09

Do you know this band? If not, unfortunately, it appears you cannot sample this CD. Late 70's/early 80's band with Arto Lindsay on grating guitar, a Japanese woman on bass and occasional grating vocals (tho enjoyable verses Yoko style) and R. L. Crutchfield on drums. Part of the NYC No Wave scene. They appear on the amazing 4 band compilation No New York compilation lp/cd produced by Eno resulting in each band maybe recording their finest, most true material ever with JAMES CHANCE and the CONTORTIONS, TEENAGE JESUS and the JERKS (with LYDIA LUNCH doing her definitive grating guitar and lovely vocals) and MARS another band who only has, all together, about this many trax for reissue and, if it's possible, is even a bit more extreme than DNA.

Thanks for making this CD. It brings together virtually everything DNA did on their 2 7"s, their nice 12" and several compilation tracks as well as the No New York trax, I believe.

This band is not for sissys. If you want some sort of gentle pop music flee now. If you're adventurous and wanna withstand slashing guitar and a minimalist sound with vocals that aren't meant to sooth you to sleep, you might give this a try.

Those of us who have heard it know that we love it or others have dropped it like it was blowing up in their hands, I'm sure. This isn't hardcore punk. It can be called punk if you like because it existed concurrently with the growth of punk. But it most appropriately belongs in that special group of bands from that period known as NY No Wave.

It's funny because Arto Lindsay, a Brasilian, went on to do a number of solo albums with that sweet, gentle, soothing bossa nova music. There's occasional hints in some of his songs of a bit 'o grating but just hints, oddly, typically in his songs that are most hit like on his records. He also did an album, Aggregates 1-26, as a different group, the ARTO LINDSAY TRIO of music somewhat similar to this, in the same ballpark let's say but not as severe with the songs averaging one minute.

DNA delivers music that exists nowhere else. Their sound is their own. They staked out their place on the musical spectrum and it's way out there at the end of Western music. I imagine most punx would enjoy it though I can't be sure. I do. Comin' from hardcore punk rock it's a natural to enjoy this grating guitar, short songs and generally severe musical presentation. chrisbct@hotmail.com

The long awaited definitive collection of studio & live trax.......2005-01-03

This cd includes nearly all the studio songs and some "choice" live ones (eventhough they are very lo-fidelity which makes it somewhat of a difficult listen yet keep in mind that this band along w/ most of the others of the "nyc no-wave era" were rarely documented live) the "A Taste of DNA" ep, tracks from Brian Eno's infamously produced "No New York" compilation, their first 7" are all here, plus tracks from a rare compilation called "forbidden fruit" that were also used in film soundtrack (if i'm not mistaken) also unreleased studio early versions of 'Detached,' '5:30' and 'Low' which were done by the original lineup w/ Robin Crutchfield on keyboards (pre-Tim Wright on bass). The sound quality of about half of the live tracks are on par with the "Last Live" at CBGB's recording on John Zorn's label.

DNA formed in 1978, Brazilian singer/guitarist Arto Lindsay formed a trio of non-musicians. Robin Crutchfield on keyboard & Ikue Mori on drums. Crutchfield left, around this time bassist Tim Wright had just left the Cleveland influential punk band Pere Ubu, and relocated to NYC and joined DNA. They've had a fairly large impact on the experimental/avant underground fringe rock scene that has been in a recent resurgance (i.e. Errase Errata) and had been very influential in more widely known indie/alt bands (i.e. Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth), also the band Blonde Redhead, who obtained their name from a DNA song title.

What is missing on this is two studio reworkings of 'Detached' and 'Blonde Redhead' that appear on the soundtrack to the film 'Downtown 81' which pretty much stars NYC artist Basquiat, and a cameo w/ Blondie's Deb Harry. This film is also a must for DNA fans (it is available on DVD) as it also features very nice footage of them live in the studio performing the two mentioned songs in their entirety (eventhough it is less then 4 minutes!). I would give this cd a 5 if those 2 tracks were included as in my opinion it is the highest quality recordings that i've heard from the band.

A Ugly, Wonderful Mess.......2004-11-15

Dna, along with the other bands at the forefront of the late-70's no-wave movement, were less about structure and songs than the execution of punishing noise. While Mars took the mini-movement to the peaks of almost unlistenable chaos, making James Chance and Lydia Lunch seem almost conventional by comparison, Dna were perhaps the next most challenging. Arto Lindsey wails in something that's beyond singing. It's release, and his voice moves all over the place along with his sporadic guitar playing which never actually comes to play an actual note. On this record, all of Dna's recorded comes together for a very intriguing, yet hard-to-digest listen. It deserves 5 stars for the studio material along (their first 7", the No New York compilation tracks, and their EP), but even the poorly recorded demos and live tracks have their charms. For music recorded years ago that will never loose its edge, look no further.

healing theraphy.......2007-06-02

This is the first of 4 CD's. With it amazing things begin to happen on a celluar level. As I started with this music of DNA structuring I found at first I would tense but then a command came to me and told me to make my body feel as though it was sinking in warm muddied earth. Mother earth would support me; to give myself to her and let the tones wash me, cleanse my cells. I suggest you scan your body at the firt of the music for any unconscious tension because there will be some. The tones seemed to bring it forward for me. Once I rattled loose the tenseness and gave over my control to the earth, every cell began to vibrate and the healing began. Coming out of it let your body adjust because you will be on a slightly different vibration now. I use it everyday and the backpain I had is disapating away with every sesssion. It is hard at first to work with the different tones but amazing things happened and continues to happen and I'm adding CD#2. Good luck with this.

Running Out Of Ideas.......2006-08-09

I am not going to say this CD is terrible, its not. But if you are a fan who heard the first 8 1/2 Souvenirs album Happy Feet in the first version (out of three+), suffered through the remakes, then followed the band to Souvonica, it should be glaringly apparent that the band is running out of ideas.
Oh, the music on Souvonica is well-played. There is no doubt as to the virtuosity of the band. Its just that with Souvonica, 8 1/2 Souvenirs offers fans the same old same old but with diminished song quality. The nouveau swing craze is over. After listening to Souvonica and comparing it to what came before, its easy to see why. There's only so much mileage a band can get out of Paolo Conte and Serge Gainsbourg covers and imitations.
So I would say that if it is the first Happy Feet CD that brings you here with high expectations, then avoid Souvonica. On the other hand, if Souvonica is your first taste of the band, then you should try to obtain the first version of Happy Feet to hear what you are really missing.

Have a blast at Club Souvenir with Souvonica!.......2002-06-19

OK, ladies and germs. Welcome to Club Souvenir, Paris's foremost cafe. We got a real swell show for you tonight, so get into dance gear, or sit back and have drinks, because this is likely to be an all-nighter.

Our band tonight is 8-1/2 Souvenirs, and they'll be playing songs from their Souvonica album. Remember Happy Feet? Well, they're still happy, and so will your feet when this party's done.

To give you a preview, their set will consist of swing, upbeat jazz and accordion-backed songs, like "Off White." If you want to dance, this is where to warm up. Then go on to "Cognac" with white keys that dance in one place and pound in other places, accompanied by quick pace rhythm guitar. And then to the title track with some Italian vocals.

"Tango Lunatico" features Juliana Sheffield's haunting vocals and sounds nothing like a tango. Keep listening for her, folks. This lady's gives this dimly lit club its atmosphere.

How low can you go? Find out with "Paris," which gets a little funky with lower octave tickling of those ivories.

Vocalist Kelly Willis (someone tell me if she's that country singer?) sings in "Absentee Rag" and I'm reminded of something out of a 1940's or 1950's Hollywood musical.

"Pass' Temp" features bandmember Olivier Giraud on vocals and this accordion-backed number could belong at home on Happy Feet, as a twin of "No Lo Visto."

If you want a breather, they'll play "Amarcord," a nice romantic number, which will take you back a French provincial village or a ride in a horse and carriage down the cobblestone streets of Paris or some other city. Think of that movie Mon Oncle. And yes, Miss Juliana Sheffield will ride with you with those vocals of hers. She's a charmer, I tell ya.

Things'll get more floor-worthy with "Shut The Door." It's about boy and girl sitting down in a cafe like this one, maybe, getting acquainted. Maybe some of you couples are in the audience. Dig that chorus, "I want to be in Paris, the city of lights and love."

"Serpent Charmer" is an accordion and piano number that'll close this set unless you want the band to do encores, which they'll happy to do.

OK, enough yammering from me. Now let's get this party started.

Great followup! I want more!.......2001-08-21

After three years of jumping from HAPPY FEET to TWISTED, SOUVONICA remains an incredible collection of music that shows a higher-production standard than HAPPY although it somehow loses a bit of the "fresh edge". Still, every track has me tapping my toes and snapping my fingers. This seems to be a more even, more uniform-in-quality collection of songs. Perhaps not as fresh or fun as the best of HAPPY, but it also lacks HAPPY's slow points or dragging songs. A great collection that I wish was not out-of-print.

81/2 are the jivin'ist gypsies around!.......1999-08-28

Well written and well performed, this band is smooth like silk. Their music creates an atmosphere of its own. I liked Souvonica even better than I did Happy Feet, and I adored Happy Feet! 81/2 are the jivin'ist gypsies around!

Jumpin'... Hot...Smooth...Soulful...Gets inside of you!.......1999-03-25

I bought "Happy Feet" first and was delighted to hear this group, so lively and swing oriented. I was hesitatnt to purchase "Souvonica" but I am as well pleased as with "Happy Feet". I thourghly enjoy the French 30's/40's influence in many of the cuts. A Terrific Album! Buy It!

It's pretty good, but don't go out of you way to obtain this EP........2006-01-16

I really liked this song (used in a Levi's commercial, apparently), which I actually originally heard on one of my chillout compilation CDs some years back, so I thought that I would pick up the maxi-single EP of it. You can never have too much of a good thing, I usually think. Well, this may just be a little too much of a good thing. All of the remix versions are good, but none of them spectacular. None of them really take the song to that next level or do anything incredibly new or different with it. Fairly safe remixes, so none of them are particularly disappointing, but none inspire either. After just one listen, I doubt that this one has much of a future in my headphones. Spend your money on Smoke City's full length album "Flying Away" instead.

Fantabulous!.......2000-01-16

Certainly...one of the sweetest...sensuous little grooves we've heard in quite a spell. Reminisent to Morcheeba/Massive Attack/Portishead sounds. Found it on the 'Chill Out' compilation CD...Which by the way...is absolutely delicious!

Incredible mix of vocals and music........1999-12-04

I've discovered this band through their European hit Underwater Love, which was on the Ladykillers 2 compilation CD. It should just be a matter of time until they are 'discovered' in the United States. They masterfully blend Nina Miranda's sultry vocals with heavy rhythmic percussion, bass, and keyboards. This is no one hit wonder. You'll find yourself listening to this CD all day long. Flying Away is a must have CD, but since it is an import and is harder to track down, you can content yourself with this until you find it.

Gorgeous.......1999-10-21

Fabulous CD with an interesting mix of Brazilian and Techno sounds. I will also recommend the album "Flying Away". The singer's voice is absolutely charming and it just creates the right mood for an evening with your lover.

Great.......2004-07-18

I heard Silers Bald at my church in '99 or 2000 and was really amazed. Not only can they play some really good music, they are really great guys too. This CD is great!

Long Distance Love!.......2001-08-22

My friend in Tennessee kept bragging to me about this awesome group she'd heard while in her friend's car... so finally I demanded that she send me a copy. She did, and WOW! I was totally blown away. I searched online for reviews of this group, but found very few. I must say, I think that Silers Bald will hit it big if they're ever given the chance. I love the songs "Starry Host" and "Thirst". I love "Thirst" especially, because it is refreshingly different from the other songs on the album. A review I read said it was incomplete, and missing something, but I disagree. A couple of the songs- "Love Came to Town" and "Creed" can get slightly annoying, but aside from that, it's a gem. This is an awesome album, great for any christian music fan.

Wonderful mix of music.......2001-02-03

This is an excellent example of the amazing mix of music this band is capable of.

Silers is the best!.......2000-08-30

This is one of my favorite bands! Warren, Shane, and Laura have the best voices!
