Good but there's better dieselboy out there..............2003-08-04

I have to say that pretty much anything dieselboy puts out is not only worth buying but is also some of the best dnb has to offer, so that being said, this release from him just doesnt seem to match some of his later stuff or even 97 octane. All in all this is a great dnb cd and is worth every penny spent on it, but if youve never heard dieselboy before I wouldnt start with this one.

Fast, hard, and deep. . ........2002-01-18

I bought this mix back in '99 and I haven't wore it out yet. It shows up through my cycling of my CD's every month or more and it's always a thrill. It's one of his older, more aggressive mixes and, while I find myself more atracted to rolling, lighter D&B nowadays, this one is still essential in my collection. I have agree with another reviewer who said he really liked the transition from track five to six.

Furious Beats Mixed by the best Jungle DJ.......2001-08-19

When I first heard about this album, one reviewer told me that the symbolism behind the title was that in the trance-pop infested 90's world of raves, Drum and Bass artists are thrown into some back corner and never given any love or respect. Thus, they are called soldiers. Although a little skeptical of this theory, I couldn't help thinking about it once I heard track one open with "Welcome to the HEV mark four..." as if the DJ you're about to hear is preparing for all out war.

Musically speaking, that's not too far away from the truth. Right from the start Dieselboy pumps up the beats to a furious tempo blended with dark undertones and keeps the tensions high throughout the rest of the album. The tone is always dark but extremely energetic and Higgins' (Dieselboy) mixing skill is top notch! I always enjoy listening to this album and I think Dieselboy's music here is not only representative of modern Jungle style but also of the D&B artist community. This CD is the paragon of Jungle music.

WOW!!!.......2001-02-23

The intense beat NEVER LET'S UP! It keeps going and going and going....This is the best Drum and Bass you can buy. My favorite part is where that raw bass starts pounding in The Beckoning and Sawn Off. Equally impressive was the wonderful sound effect from Half-Life and Quake 2 in the intro; they really set the right mood, even if it makes the HEV seem more like a mech-suit than an enviroment shield. But that's beside the point. Let's see...another great track is The Bellz. It assaults your ears with so many sounds and beats you can't concentrate on them all. But don't take my word, go buy it if you're interested in this kind of music at all.

phat trax / hard all the way through.......2000-07-08

These are some very fast very hard tracks, Dieselboy has the tempo cranked up through the whole CD which I don't necessarily mind but I would like to hear the tracks in more detail at original tempo. Compared to System Upgrade the production is alot higher IMO, System Upgrade distorts a bit on my system at high volumes whereas this is smooth smooth smooth and very hard all the way through with no static and/or distortion. Also the tracks are very consistent style, maintaining a nice dark and fast atmosphere through the whole CD, without getting too tedious (i.e. there are some different styles of bass terrorism interspersed with noise terrorism and some random ear piercing terrorism to keep things varied). As usual his mixing is smooth and things flow nicely from one track to the next with only a couple sudden cuts which work one way or another.

At a time when the fighting in Iraq brings out more pain than patriotism in a majority of vocal Americans, Keni Thomas--a smooth-voiced Georgia musician and former Army member of Task Force Ranger, sent into the Mogadishu of Black Hawk Down--steps forward with a collection of songs that restore the poignancy and eloquence of the good fight. Never bombastic in the vein of Toby Keith nor rabble-rousing à la Darryl Worley, Thomas--who wrote or cowrote all 10 tracks with an ear for classic country and rock--simply tells the stories of the men and women in uniform. "Not Me," which boasts no less than Vince Gill and Emmylou Harris on harmony vocals, is an eloquent and understated paean to leadership and courage, while "Circle on the Cross," featuring a spoken introduction by Kenny Rogers, spotlights a military marking worth remembering. Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Michael McDonald, Blackhawk, and Shawn Mullins also lend their efforts to this surprising, affecting project.

Album Description

Flags Of Our Fathers is a collection of songs wirtten by Thomas that tell stories inspired by life in the military and those who serve our nation. Working with producers Brent Maher and Mark Selby he uses his unique insight to bring these memorable songs to life and tell a story as only someone who has experienced them can. It's a remarkable album from an equally remarkable artist.

Moving CD with a message.......2007-05-12

I had the good fortune of listening to Keni around Memorial Day. In case you didn't know, Keni was involved in Task Force RANGER that was elegantly presented in "Black Hawk Down" Book and Movie. He is a great story teller and that's reflected in his songs....moving, poignant, and relevant. Great story teller and a great singer/performer.

Awesome - A Great Surprise.......2007-01-08

An awesome album from start to finish. I have already purchased another copy for a friend. Extremely well written songs especially if you have even a single patriotic bone in your body.

For any Serviceman/Servicewoman.......2006-04-15

Having been in the military and served with the Rangers plus being a musician now, anyone who has ever had to go to combat can relate to this CD.
A soldiers story combines mom's apple pie c rations and MRE's all rolled up into one. Keni's voice draws one to listen to the lyrics more so than most singers.

If you have ever been in combat anywhere, anytime...this CD will bring tears to your eyes and make your chest swell with pride. Keni T's been there and done that. And this CD is living proof of the enourmous patriotism our country holds for our Troops in harms way. It's a gut wrenching story and those who have been there........must hear it! RLTW

Keni Thomas Review.......2006-03-24

Great CD. I saw this performer with an USO tour in Iraq and had to buy the cd. A patriotic must!

A true tribute to those who have served........2006-01-16

This complete CD is a great tribute to all that have served and put country before self. There is not a song on this CD that you will not listen to over and over. To know what Keni Thomas has been through and hear it in his music is great. Everyone should own this, CD even if it only gets played a few times a year on the 4th of July, Veterans Day and Memorial Day. BUY BUY BUY

Sad.......2006-08-05

i guess those 5 stars reviews mean that you like getting the chicano culture pimped by some pakistany dude? I have nothing agiasnt pakistany or middle eastern people but when someone decides to make money out of someone elses culture is really sad when i see chicanos backing up a wanna be. Straight up this is just wanna be stuff he is not a chicano so anything he says basically are a lies im tried of people trying to make money out of our culture and hard work we managed to create. Worst i cant believe people catergorize this as chicano rap

Capone E- A rapper weaker than lil Rob...I couldn't believe it.......2005-12-27

CHICANO RAP IS SORRY...I gave it a shot being chicano myself but give me a break. Half the Chicanos I know love lowriders and hanging out but think cholos and all there stupid gang banging is weak and stupid. Then to top it off you get some Paki trying to throw up San Gabriel like its a joke. Yeah fool thats why you are always touring Texas. Overall this album is sorry, its weak, lacks imagination and innovation. It tries to make a sort of gangsta rap chicano style hybrid. I found myself putting my fists together in my chest and dancing like a tecato'd out veterano who can't get any play.

Think about it...would any serious rapper consider giving this guy any shared mic time. Puro Compton.

CAPONE-E DOES IT AGAIN.......2005-08-31

3 OF THE BIGGEST CHOLOS HAVE NOW RELEASED THEIR ROLLAS FOR THE SUMMER OF 2005. AFTER PICKING UP THIS CD I CAN SAFELY SAY THIS ONE IS THE ONE. WHAT A BOMBA CD. AFTER ALL THIS TIME CAPONE-E STILL HAS THE SAME STREET SHINE AS WHEN HE FIRST DROPPED. IT HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE MORE YOU LISTEN TO IT THE MORE YOU LIKE IT. THIS CD IS MORE LYRICALLY SLAMMING AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ALL THE SURENOS, G'S, OG'S AND HYNAS. A POWERFUL CD AND A CLEAR WINNER. WELL DONE YOU MAKE US BROWNS PROUD.ORALE.

Going the Right Way.......2001-07-06

I'm a BIG fan of Patti Rain. She's my art teacher, and I admire her. She's so sweet. I love how she sings. Her voice is just so cool. Patti Rain's cd is cool. Her songs are very different from other artists' (in my opinion) The first song in the cd is my favorite, even though I like the other songs ,this is my favorite. I have other favorite singers, but Patti Rain is my best favorite one. I want to be like her when I have a career. She sets a good example for all of her students. Even if I were not one of her students, the cd would have found it's way to me. I really,really, but really recommend this cd. I hope that in the future, she's known around the world. ~Daisy
