5 out of 5 stars The Better of the two.......2006-06-03

I have both disc in the series. I liked the music on this disc much more than the first. The selections seem more focused and the sounds are much clearer. Also, the particular pieces fit better together. I love the sound of this group and hope they make more in the future.

3 out of 5 stars Not as good as version 1 in this series.......2004-09-03

This is by the same group who did the wonderful & engaging Early American Choral Music 1. Somehow this CD did not live up to its predecessor in some ways. The performance is still top notch, but somehow the CD as a whole isn't quite as engaging to listen to as the first. Perhaps version 2's strength is also its weakness. Its diversity of composers allows you to pear past the shadow of William Billings and sample other notable early American hymn writers. That exposure is valuable & appreciated. I just couldn't get into it as much.

A final note: many of the texts are beautiful (and available from the publisher's web site). However, I would criticize "Who is this that cometh from Edom?" as dwelling just a bit too much on the Jews' rejection of Jesus. Among other reasons & issues, Christianity says that we are all sinners & there is no cause to single a particular group out negatively.

4 out of 5 stars Same as 'Goostly Psalmes: Anglo-American Psalmody 1550-1800'.......2004-02-21

Please note this CD is a duplicate of His Majestie's Clerkes's "Goostly Psalmes: Anglo-American Psalmody 1550-1800" -- identical contents but a different name and cover. I ordered both and was irritated to discover this. This CD is cheaper, so I recommend this one. It is a lovely choral work from a little-known period of sacred music.

This is a great album! It's poppy and fun and it is overall good from start to finsih. It's nothing super special or unique but it is music that is done really well. The songs are written great and the vocals are awesome! For fans of the poppy emo music this is a great record to consider adding to the collection! It really is a good time

4 out of 5 stars A tad cheesy and a guilty pleasure, but every song is good and they have genuine heart and soul - only for emo fans - 4.5 stars.......2006-01-08

Daphne Loves Derby is pretty cheesy and a guilty pleasure, but they have genuine heart. Their problem is that they aren't entirely appealing to non-emo fans. The singer, especially, is not for everyone as he as a distinctly whiny voice. Thankfully every song is good and the lyrics are somewhat deep and worth hearing. The musicianship is slightly lo-fi indie rock with a little garage rock and acoustic guitars thrown in, but it's usually good (though more catchy than interesting I think). They certainly know how to create a great hook. It was a hard decision to make, but I don't think I could give this "5" stars. It doesn't seem to really "wow" me enough, I suppose. It's definitely not an album that most people will enjoy, but emo fans will like it a lot. If you like this album I would also highly recommend JamisonParkers' "Sleepwalker". Recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Much more than a cookie cutter emo-pop band.......2005-11-12

I've been a DLD fan for some time now. I saw them live in 2004 and bought the self titled CD. It was awesome. Almost every song acoustic and mellow. A truly great band with awesome talent. Later, DLD released an EP. Sadly, it didn't really meet the greatness that their full-length did. It tried to be more powerful by getting rid of the acoustic thing, but failed and just made a decent atmospheric emo CD. I didn't lose faith though, and waited for this CD to come out. "On the strength of all convinced" is the CD fans have been waiting for. It's also the band's first foray out of the indie scene. They've finally achieved the status that's been needed for so long, probably through means of the internet.

At first I was skeptical about this CD. It sounded much like an extended version of "closing down the pattern department." I felt that DLD had failed me again. Still though, i listened on. Finally, I found some common ground in the song: Pollen and Salt. It sounded like something off of their first release. It had that raw acoustic guitar talent that seemed to be missing from CDTPD. After that, the whole album just clicked. Every song became enjoyable. The fact is, DLD have finally found their sound. Previously they couldn't decide if they wanted to do acoustic music or upbeat power popish stuff. With OTSOAC, they prove that they can do both at once. They prove it well.

Everything great about DLD recieves an upgrade here. It's about time too! There's so much to like about this record, I could go on forever. Firstly, Kenny's lyrical talent has expanded greatly. Given, he has always been great with wording but it truly shines here. Especially in songs like "a year on an airplane" where Kenny shows he can use metaphor quite well.

Another awesome thing about this CD is the variation. It's not often that a band can make a CD of songs this diverse, and keep up the pace throughout. A problem I had with the full-length was that there were a couple of songs that sort of sucked, despite the other ones being awesome. OTSOAC eliminates this issue, by making every song a fresh and enjoyable experience.

DLD has evolved into something that defies the boundaries of EMO band. Yes, a lot of songs here are optimistic. Would you look at that? An emo band that doesn't just sing about heartbreak and hurt! I guarantee the upbeatness found here will put a smile on most anyone's face. Great stuff

As some of you might know, DLD is from Seattle, and it shows, moreso on here that ever. The influences are pretty obvious. Copeland, Jimmy Eat World, any emo related or indie band. Don't get me wrong though, DLD sounds much different than all those bands. They have such a unique sound. There will always be people that say they are only riding the emo-pop band wagon, but I refuse to believe that. They have been around too long to be called an imitation.

I would highly recommend this for fans of copeland or Jimmy eat world. DLD is also on tour right now so visit the wedsite for dates. You won't be dissapointed.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing!!! ('specially for white folk).......2004-03-27

This is an absolute must!!! I have never heard such passionate singing of spirituals from non-black choirs. Perhaps that is attributed to Shaw's minister roots. As usual, the sonority of Shaw's singers is second to none. This is a fun CD that all can enjoy...not just the choral buffs who know just how good Shaw and his choirs are!!!

2 out of 5 stars Not Up to Shaw's Usual Standard.......2002-03-23

Maybe just personal taste. I don't find the arrangements and vocalizing as interesting and satisfying as "Sea Chanties" and "23 Glee Club Favorites", the latter setting a standard never equaled.

5 out of 5 stars A Must CD for Choral Music Lovers.......2001-01-03

Amazing Grace is a very appropriate title for this recording. For those of you who love Sacred Harp , Southern Harmony and Spirituals, you will revel in the folk traditions of this album. Parker and Shaw arrangements, and sometimes just one or the other are so well done. The singers, of course, do an excellent job of making music under Shaw's direction. "Hark I Hear.." arr. by Parker is becoming a standard for choruses and this album will help you hear why. "If I've got my ticket" by Shaw is a wonderful exchange between solo and chorus. You will be playing this CD over and over once you hear it.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this CD. The thoughtful and meditative, "What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul" sends the listener awe-struck to the foot of the cross. The triumphant "Ride on King Jesus!" reminds the listener of final victory. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who appreciates musical and cultural heritage or for anyone who appreciates religious music.

5 out of 5 stars Not Just Another Pretty Face.......2005-12-02

Recently, I read a small spot in a magazine about Eric Himan. My first reaction was to dismiss him as another one of today's "all about appearance, no substance" artists. Then my "inner voice" said, "give the guy a chance". Always listen to your inner voice. Eric Himan is one of a new generation of singer-songwriters who have broke free of the corporate chains that bind much of today's popular music in a prison of mediocrity. He is far more substance then appearance.

To call him a new artist would be wrong. "Dark Horse" is his forth release, but is the first of his albums that has a real studio feel to it. It is also his first release to include a cover song, a beautiful rendition of Simply Red's "Holding Back the Years". The rest of Dark Horse is all original material, and what prodigious material it is.

While his earlier albums are excellent, they are stripped down productions that rely on Eric's soulful voice and vibrant guitar playing for the backbone of their sound. The production on Dark Horse is rich and lush without being over produced. There are also a greater variety of styles on this album.

The country twang of "White Horse" is great. Every time I hear this song, I picture it being played in a conservative western bar with the progressive play on sexuality in the lyrics going right over the heads of the oblivious toe tapping patrons. "Brown Fog" is a tender, heart-rending, soul-searching ballad that has the jazzy feel of a late night barroom. You can almost see the smoke in the air. Needles to say, "until the music stops, I will listen".

5 out of 5 stars Edgy rocker sound with a whole lotta soul.......2005-11-21

My first impulse is to compare Eric Himan to Gavin DeGraw but that would be because I heard the latter first. Of course, this talented singer/songwriter/musician has quite a few pegs of raw talent over the young and equally handsome DeGraw. Himan has a voice that is a whole lot grittier and as he wraps his vocals around his lyrics, the listener is drawn in with hardly any resistance. His unconventional sound only makes every song he sings more fresh and more appealing. Even with Dark Horse, a more blatant attempt at mainstream than any of his previous efforts, his sound remains distinct and refreshing. Even though he is an openly gay artist, don't expect to hear blatant songs about man on man action... most of the songs could be about anyone which should add to his overall appeal. He does touch up on gay issues but ever so slightly on this album... not as obvious as he did with "My Decision", his blazing retort to Date Rape.
Opening with "Habit/Curse" is a great way to begin a journey of musical landscapes enlivened by rich and engrossing lyrics. The song is about realising that sometimes what you want and need are not the best things for you. "Have Me" is undeniably upbeat and catchy, drawing you in from the first instant to the last chord. It even features that rare instrumental break (most of the songs here do, actually). "Clyde" is a haunting piano driven tune with Himan trying a honeysuckle approach to singing which adds to the charm. "White Horse" is catchy and fun... an upbeat jem that has a folky sound to it. "Holding Back the Years" is cover that is stunningly well delivered and a perfect choice to go with Himan's stunning voice. When he sings those words, it is hard to not feel where he is comming from. "Aimlessness" is one of my favorite tracks on the album despite it being a bit short. It has a midtempo rock appeal to it and the lyrics are true. (If you don't know what you're looking for/how you ever gonna find it?) "Stranded" is a slow, R&B tinged song that talks about moving on and growing... it is a saddened song of hope. "Listen" is another piano driven ballad that is quite pretty and his smokey voice highlights this beauty. "Throw Away the Past" is close to being a modern pop rocker but it is one that outshines the competition with its true to life and personal lyrics. "In the Brown Fog" is a near accapella number backed with subtle guitar chords and it is a stripped down song of beauty complete with his deeper than others lyrics. And something to rejoice about... there is a hidden bonus track that is unnamed but hardly unmentionable. It is the rockiest song on the album and it could have easily served as the opening number as it is equally engaging as "Habit/Curse", yet it serves a deliciously crafted purpose as the ending... it leaves the listener wanting more.
Eric Himan may not be a popular musician enriched with the frothy sounds or Good Charlotte, britney Spears, or Gavin DeGraw, but he deserves to be a big time artist. His skill transends the genre of "independent" and it would be a blessing to the ever-stale state of the mainstream music world. This album is worth the price... and it is worth the time invested to listen. Go for it... give Eric Himan a try.

5 out of 5 stars A "must have" for any CD collection.......2005-08-18

I like every kind of music, from pop to classical to rock to blues... and yes, even country. I can appreciate a good song, regardless of the genre. This CD, though, slides across genres, refusing to fall into a single style. The one constant is Eric's passion. It's in the lyrics, the music, and the voice. This guy is more than a singer. He is an incredible entertainer. (I have seen him twice, and will definitely see him again.)

Specifically on this CD, his songwriting is witty, clever, and personal. The opening track describes the one-up, one-down of a relationship, saying "if I'm your habit, you're my curse." And the plea to be seen as he is now, for good or bad, is eloquently played out in "Throw away the past."

Buy this CD. And don't let it out of your sight. Friends will borrow it, and you will never see it again!

4 out of 5 stars GrownUpMusic.com recommended!.......2005-06-27

With a voice like Cat Stevens, inked arms a la Tommy Lee and a guitar style akin to fellow indie artist Ani DeFranco, Eric Himan is an angry young man on a mission. Perhaps "angry" is a bit strong, since he only strums like an angry young man in stark contrast to his deeply personal and vulnerable lyrics. But if you're looking for an original voice in the latest crop of 20something schlocksters, Himan is your man. He rocks. He rockabillies. But perhaps the most poignant moment on Himan's new record is his only cover: the Simply Red soul ballad "Holding Back the Years," which - in his skillful hands and simple production - breathes new life into the hauntingly beautiful classic. Himan is like the stray junk yard dog you want to adopt. He's scrappy on the outside, gentle on the inside, and ultimately irresistable.

4 out of 5 stars One of my favorite singers right now.......2005-06-18

I read an article about Eric and he seemed very interesting. He had a good attitude and seemed very intelligent. I looked him up on i-tunes and ended up buying his stuff. When I heard Dark Horse was coming out I was pretty happy. I live in Los Angeles and looked everywhere for his CD. Just buy it from Amazon. I never found it in the stores. Was it worth it? Yes. Eric has a really unique voice and I mean that literally. It is just different. His songs are so true to people emotions. I love finding new artists and spreading them around to people. You can only listen to Britney so many times without needing to find some quality. His music is kind of dark in places and the genres run from blues to rock. Great stuff. I can't wait to see him in concert.

5 out of 5 stars Walton's Masterpiece and Other Fun Stuff.......2003-04-24

William Walton is a late interest of mine. Of course I've known his work for years, mostly through the film music for the Olivier Shakespeare plays, but I had never developed much of an interest until recently. All I can say, now having developed the taste for this composer, is that Sir William is definately worthy to be mentioned in the same breath with RVW and Benjamin Britten as England's greatest composer.

The large work on this CD is Belshazzar's Feast, for soloists chorus and orchestra. The work is a classic of the choral repertoire but one that I had not heard previously. This is not in the liturgical oratorio tradition. Rather it is a full scale exotic wonderland. Walton's idiom is vibrant...tonal, spiced with unusual harmony, lively and infectious. The choral writing is a marvel of balance. Not a deeply moving work, this is rather a feast for the senses and joyous to listen to.

The rest of the disc is comprised of orchestral music. The Portsmouth Point overture is familiar to me. This is often one Walton work that gets a fair amount of play, as it makes a terrific curtain opener on a concert program. It is jazzy, bold and vivacious, a truly enjoyable work. Likewise Scapino, wholely enjoyable work that makes an art of high spirits.

The Improvisation is another story. Taken from a rather somber Britten work, this is Walton in an elegaic mode. It's a haunting work and very beautiful, showing that Walton was capable of great beauty and depth of feeling as well as high spirits.

This CD, at a bargain price is a marvelous introduction to some of this composer's most interesting and appealing work. Highly recommended.

Looked for this CD for a longtime, to replace my old vinyl record. Found it via amazon, title says the rest!

2 out of 5 stars Somewhat misleading........2004-05-15

I bought this CD because another CD of Gene McDaniels I recenty acquired did not have the original version of "A Tear" on it. That CD had a remake of the song with a slighty different beat and surprisingly different lyrics at the end of the song. (I have a scratched up 45 rpm of the song so I know what it should sound like.)

The advertisement for this CD read "All tracks are digitally remastered from the original master tapes." This could be but the track for "A Tear" is not the original recording from the 60's. It's the same as the other CD I have where all the tracks on it are remakes.

5 out of 5 stars ALL THE MUSIC YOU EVER NEED!!.......2003-05-23

This boxed set is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. As a Purcell freak, this hits every button I have. The cast of characters include the inequitable Robert King, New College Choir, Bowman, and a host of other venerable persons. Likewise the attention to period performance of these works makes it an essential addition to the library of any serious anglophile/Musicologist etc. Now if only the Britten Realizations of all Purcell's songs could be recorded alongside the originals! You will Love this set!

      Not there best but definitely a good release.. first four tracks are really good!! the rest of the album is somewhat weak like they were pressured to write radio friendly songs but if you're a fan this is a must own record.
