Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Lords of Acid's 1997 release, Our Little Secret is an open book. Never daring to depart from lyrics that read like the stage directions of a porno flick, fans need only focus their attention on Lords of Acid's musical agenda. The songs still maintain the basic acid house recipe of fat, buzzy bass lines and disorienting rhythms. This album adds a little of all current dance music trends, from trip hop to drum & bass to keep the formula current. "LSD=Truth" rattles with amped organic drum sounds reminiscent of Meat Beat Manifesto. The first couple of tracks are drilled with speed metal guitars. Stylistically, this album is merely a tangent to Lords of Acid's debut album Lust. If this is your first Lords of Acid purchase, go with Lust--it's a better album. If you are collecting, the lyrical shock value will have worn thin on you by now, but the music is twisted enough to keep you engaged. --Beth Bessmer

just a tease.......2007-06-13

This album is a little disappointing for a LOA fan, especially after the orgasmic explosion of Voodoo-U. They stay true to the format as far as lyrics go but most of the songs sounded kind of weak and cheap. It's a decent album, with good tracks like Lover, Rubber Doll, [....], and You Belong to Me. If this is your first experience with the Lords, don't write them off yet, go and get Lust and Voodoo-U( their first two albums) and then prepare for the electronic orgy!

A little better than one would expect.......2004-10-07

If you were to hear the singles for "Pussy" or "Rubber Doll", you would most likely not think much of this band if you weren't already a fan. Because they're not all that good. Rubber's okay, but Pussy really is just a lame novelty track. Much like the hidden 14th track "Horror Movie" which revives the exact same song from track 6 with different lyrics, which actually mis-states the titles of multiple movies. Well had this have been an EP with these tracks as well as the following songs: "Doggie Tom", "Finger Lickin' Good", and "Spank My Booty", this would have been one supremely weak CD.

The tracks on this album can be divided up into four very neat areas. One is for the songs that aren't worthy of a second listen: Horror, Doggie, Finger, Spank, and Pussy are those 5 songs that bring the album down far below the band's standard set by the mostly excellent Lust. Next are 2 strangely likeable tracks, which aren't really good but still kind of fun. One is "Me and Myself", and the other is the forementioned Rubber.

Next are the pleasent surprises- "The Power is Mine", "Lover", "Man's Best Friend", and "Deep Sexy Space". Lover is the album's best single (though the version available on the Lover single is the KMFDM "Cake Mix"), and Best Friend is a strangely passionate (and a little sad) song that tells the sympathetic story of a prostitute who's got no one but herself. Power is a great theme for dominatrixes that puts men in their place, on the floor and in chains; DSS is about aliens with 'little tools'.

And finally, the albums best songs are "Cybersex", "LSD=Truth", and "You Belong to Me" - which are all single worthy, and all better than the singles chosen for the album. LSD is definitely the album's very best, with the very lovely ambient sound that meshes with pure house for the ultimate musical 'trip experience' and vocals that finally put the great trivial sense of rage to good use- "bloodshot eyes needle vain bright colors / HIGHER HIGHER! / MORE! MORE power brain white doves!" which fades into a truly beautiful chorus- "he's on the inside, in his own world", that also makes this a true Lords of Acid career highlight.

Cybersex is the album's best dance / rave song, and holds it's own up next to the likes of "I Must Increase My Bust" and "Take Control". The second you hear it, you'll be moving faster than you have in (well, that depends on the last time you listened to the band) some time. And lastly, You Belong to Me is so captivating, it's hard to believe it's by Lords of Acid. It's obsessiveness is easy to relate to and it's hopelessly aggressive lyrics are the stuff of eternal anthems. It's just too bad the band doesn't give the music a little more room to impact like the message of the song.

So considering that this album is sold on the strength of it's singles, it's great that there are some real incredible songs apart from the singles to make this release a must-have for fans of this genre of techno / rave. Well, at least this a serious improvement over Voodoo-U.

Sexy and Wicked.......2004-07-24

LOA are just plain amazing. Other musical acts have tried to imitate their sound but have failed miserably. I purchased "Our Little Secret" when it first came out but have rediscovered it recently and I'm still thrilled by it to this day. This album touches upon all sounds of music from hard house, rock, happy-hardcore, industrial... but the LOA way.

LOA.......2003-11-04

lords of acid is by far one of the most original groups out there with their entirely own sound...this album is pretty solid, (...) its amusing and actually good all at the same time. This is a great cd to listen to while ur walking to class or background music while working...its definatley not something to sit and analyze...but it always puts a smile on ur face, one of the better LOA cds

A Grain of Salt.......2003-10-02

"Our Little Secret" by LOA is one of their very best. The vocals of Nikki combined with the spine shattering techno-esque beat and controversial lyrics will knock you on your ass. It is a fun cd to listen to, and it has been a star of my cd collection for years.

american art song.......2000-12-30

This recording is an accesible, refreshingly lyrical collection of 20th century American songs written by Otto Luening. Luening set the poetry of Oscar Wilde, Emily Dickinson, and James Joyce and others in a beautifully vivid and straightforward style. The literature itself is rich and enduring, and Luenning's style is sensitively efficient and illustrative. Ms. Bettina brings a wonderfully clear and graceful musicality in her offering of these works. Mr. Goldsworthy brings a masterful sensitivity to the accompaniment.

This is a very lyrical, refreshingly accessible collection of 20th century American songs by Otto Luenning. The literature by Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde and James Joyce ( to name only a few), that Luenning chose to set is rich and wonderful in itself. Luenning has provided each with direct, clear and sensitive composition. Ms. Bettina gives a graceful rendering of these songs and shows artistry in each piece. Mr. Goldsworthy is first rate pianist who displays great sensitivity and clarity.

An Artist's Artist.......2006-03-18

Danielle Woerner has long been prized on the classical music scene for the exquisite intelligence of her singing and the distinctive beauty of her voice. Her range is and has been astonishing--from opera to art song--and in this recording one can her that sound and intimate sensibility which has earned her such a splendid name. Buy it!

Luscious and deeply moving.......2000-12-29

Danielle Woerner's voice is so rich and mellow, you can get lost in it. I was not familiar with this repertoire, and found Luening's setting of Emily Dickinson to be marvelous--sometimes serious, sometimes playful, always true to the deep emotions. I also liked the setting of William Blake's "Ah, Sun-flower", which Luening composed especially for this singer. I found myself listening over and over to the poems of Gail Godwin as set by her partner and collaborator, Robert Starer. The compositions are moving and complex, and Woerner makes excellent musical choices for presenting them in a way that the audience can truly feel. Highly recommended.

Moravian songs, via Janacek, Godar, Bittova and Skampa.......2006-05-09

This is a unique recording of Janacek's transcriptions of Moravian folk songs. Originally for piano and voice, they have been transcribed by Slovak composer Vladimir Godar for string quartet and (occasionally) three-voice male chorus. Here they are performed by renowned Czech singer and violinist Iva Bittova, accompanied by the Skampa Quartet and chorus. The effect is not so much of classical liede, but of authentic eastern European "popular" songs - the sonority of the string quartet adds to this in no small part. Janacek would be proud.

Skampa Quartet is great - the singer... yikes.......2005-07-28

I honestly did not know what I was getting myself into when I bought this CD. I love Janacek, I love folk songs... how could I go wrong? Iva Bittova! I was concerned that she would have a 50yr old woobly voice, but instead what exists is a thin VERY nasal tone... perhaps she should be singing traditional Bulgarian music! The voice is expressive, just ugly.
The recording quality is not very good, either. On many of the tracks, Iva seems to be muffled and in the background of the recording.
Really - dont waste your time and money, unless you really would just like to have a recording of over 50 Janacek songs.
