At a time when the majority of those his age are drifting into retirement, 65-year-old Bob Dylan has put the capper on a three-record run that ranks with the best in his storied, 44-album career. Like Time Out of Mind and Love and Theft before it, Modern Times is a rootsy, blues-soaked pool of the purest form of Americana--skipping the progressive bells or whistles for an understated backing by his touring band. Dylan's voice, which cracks, rasps and moans from the pop singer's pulpit, hasn't been this rich and emotive since 1976's Desire. And while his lyrics prolong his steadfast allusions to a higher power and his own immortality, they are not without the Dylan mirth, as when he sings of tracking pop queen Alicia Keys from Hell's Kitchen to Tennessee in "Thunder on the Mountain," the album's opener, which teams with "Someday Baby" and "Rollin' and Tumblin'" (for which Dylan misguidedly claims writing credit) as the record's most fiery numbers. Still, it's the Dylan that tells of a slave-loving owner ("Nettie Moore"), brings New Orleans to the front burner ("The Levee's Gonna Break") and plays the part of an eloquent lounge singer ("Spirit on the Water," "When the Deal Goes Down" and "Beyond the Horizon") that makes Modern Times sound just like old times. --Scott Holter

5 out of 5 stars Modern Times is a modern classic.......2007-07-14

Don't worry: no matter what the title may imply, Modern Times is not Dylan attempting to update his music to fit current trends. He has yet to do that. Instead, Modern Times is for the most part a bluesy album: he even rewrites a few blues classics ("Rollin' and Tumblin" becomes, well... "Rollin' and Tumblin'"; "Someday Baby" is a slightly different "Trouble No More" with the "Hip Shake"/"La Grange" riff, and "Levee's Gonna Break" is little more than a rewrite of "When the Levee Breaks"). "Rollin'" is energetic, but it's also probably the weakest moment on a generally strong record - original blues songs like the wrenching "Workingman's Blues #2" and hard-rockin' "Thunder on the Mountain" (love the guitar solo!) are the two indisputable highlights, and they're perfectly contrasted by jazzy country-blueses such as "Spirit on the Water", "Beyond the Horizon" and "When the Deal Goes Down". The country songs here are all among the greatest Dylan ever did in the genre, though to be fair none of them are "Lay, Lady, Lay" - "Horizon" is a bit too long, but only by about a minute or so. And while Dylan's melodies are normally nothing worth getting excited about, I love the melody (and the lyrics, and everything else) found on "Nettie Moore". In fact, I think "Nettie Moore" is my favorite song on this album - it hasn't gotten the hype of songs like "Thunder on the Water", "Workingman's Blues #2" or "Spirit on the Water", but it's a fabulous folk song and I will definitely stick up for it. Give it ten years; this'll be one of Dylan's classic songs. You see if it isn't. Oh yeah, and "Ain't Talkin'" has the best lyrics found on this album. And I really like the song's dark, doomy atmosphere too, with the violins and such. Plenty of albums by awful artists came out in 2006, and it's nice to hear Dylan (who's twice the age of most members of My Chemical Romance - third behind the Eagles and Green Day as the band I unnecessarily insult the most in my reviews, by the way) showing them all up. This is his best in a very long time.

5 out of 5 stars As good as Dylan gets.......2007-07-12

Its a shame that so many folks become closed minded to new music at a certain age. This is as good as anything Dylan has ever done, but because of the above it won't be remembered as well.

4 out of 5 stars Still the greatest of all time.......2007-07-10

At 23 years old I am not your typical Bobhead, I own all 30+ Dylan albums including bootlegs. I have been to several Dylan concerts over the last few years. Dylan has come out with 3 studio albums the last 10 years all critical successes. With Modern Times Dylan was the oldest artist to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Out of the three this is my least favorite. I loved Love and Theft and liked Time Out of Mind. Love & Theft was loud, funny and all around great. Time Out of Mind was a little depressing but had amazing lyrics. Modern Times is a mix between the two albums. To be completely honest I only liked three songs on this album: Thunder on the Mountain, Spirit on the Water and Workingman Blues #2. Someday Baby gets better with every listen so maybe I will put that one on there too. But who cares? It's Dylan....get the cd already.

5 out of 5 stars Is It Rolling Bob? You Bet It Is!.......2007-07-02

For 40+ years, Bob Dylan has spilled my heart, stripped bare my soul and rattled my complacent mind. Modern Times reassures and re-inspires. Aging we may be but still relevant: older, wiser, gentler, more tolerant and deeply clarified about the daily human commonalities that join us all. Just when fans think they have a handle on Bob Dylan, he shifts gears and opens his reach in a new direction letting us know that the rest of us can do the same. No other artist steps as unfailingly in rhythm with my generation as Bobby D. He knows where we are, who we are, and I hope, in the still of the night, I'll be with you, Bob, When the Deal Goes Down. Like Highway 61 Revisited and Blood on the Tracks, Modern Times calls us to A New Morning.

4 out of 5 stars I heard the deafening noise........2007-06-26

This is Bob Dylan's 32nd studio album. Most of the songs are adaptations of older songs (mostly blues songs) with new lyrics by Dylan. The music has a rather "rootsy" feel to it, while still sounding modern. I won't get into a song by song analysis, because many more knowledgeable people than me have already done that. I'll just call it a damn good album of Dylan singing the blues and leave it at that.

5 out of 5 stars Thundering Typhoons!! It's Bob again!!!.......2007-03-26

The sixth year of this century would go down as a year when all the old horses gave what they got .. and finshed with astonishing results. Stones rolled, Plant grew, Paul resurrected and Bobbie proved again that he ain't gonna leave the building quietly.

For us, who started listening to Dylan in mid to late eighties, that's a real treat.

I remember growing up in Calcutta, when listening to counter culture classics and watching Ray movies meant the coolest thing in the world ( a far cry from today's decadent mainstream behaviour, you see), and Dylan was crawling through a dark decade. Darkest were the years when we saw releases like Knocked Out Loaded and Down In The Groove. Both got issued on vinyl LPs which we promptly procured with our pocket money, little that we had, only to realize that these recordings did not stand a chance agains the earlier gems of the previous decades (way before the times of online reviews and thirty second intros on itunes, you had to buy to listen to judge .

We did not realize that as much we anticipate masterworks from the living legends everytime, it's just not possible to deliver a classic everytime you happen to be in the studio.

I, for one, had given up. Content with what I had from the sixties & seventies.

Keeping that in mind the new resurgence of Mr. Dylan appears both fantastic and spectacular. I have not had a chance to write reviews on the the earlier two studio albums: Time Out of Mind and Love & Theft, both classics and will stand the test of time much like Highway 61 or Blood on Tracks.

It would appear, at least to me, that Bob, in his sixties and reliving the sixties. Backed by a class act, second maybe only to 'The Band' in the seventies, he tears through a collection that matches with the best in class.

If the younger buckaroos are producing music half as good as this, forty years on, I will consider myself to be damn lucky.

As for the album, many many words have been spent in reviewing Modern Times (the best that I have read was on Uncut, a British magazine). I don't have any intention to rehash the same .. it's a great album, Dylsn's third classic in a row and consider yourself fortunate that you are sharing your mortal time with Dylan, and that he has not stopped amusing you.

Keep on rolling, Abraham!! Modern Times, whatever may that be, both for you and me .. this is our time!!

4 out of 5 stars Good, good stuff.......2007-03-26

Bob Dylan has taken a decidedly different turn in his August years. His past three albums have all been excellent, including this one. He has been constantly touring, and documentaries, television specials, and new biographies and introspective books, including one by himself, have all reminded of us of his greatness. Bob used to be one to shy away from the media, but we have seen him on 60 Minutes, read Chronicles, and watched Scorsese's documentary. All applauding Bob. Even this new album is getting rave reviews, often referred to as the best album of the year. I find it frustrating that this could be the best thing offered for the year. For one thing is totally lacks creativity and fresh ideas. Instead, we are treated to a re-hash of old stuff. Nonetheless, it is well done, and it gives us a chance to see Dylan again. Personally, I'd like to see him take a chance, do something that might bare a little Bob. It is good stuff, though.

4 out of 5 stars Dylan still lives!.......2007-03-24

excellent work of Bob, I saw him in Munich 2005 he is still one of the great musicians of our time, a real pro

5 out of 5 stars Bob Dylan, the best.......2007-03-24

As a forty year fan of Bob Dylan I cherish anything and everything that has been written by or about him. If you are a Bob Dylan fan you just can't keep yourself from buying his oldest and his latest CD's or books, or whatever comes along.

5 out of 5 stars Bob Dylan - Modern Times.......2007-02-22

This is a great product and Dylan at his best. I was a little disappointed that the song "Things Have Changed" was on the DVD and not the CD.

Cinema Serenade 2: The Golden Age is the sequel to Itzhak Perlman's popular album of movie themes performed with soundtrack composer John Williams. Unlike its predecessor, this disc focuses on classic cinema themes and features the Boston Pops Orchestra, not the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. The Laura theme, as well as Max Steiner's Now Voyager and Miklós Rózsa's Lost Weekend themes, sound lush and romantic in Perlman's lyrical hands. The traditional Irish jig "The Quiet Man" is the disc's most upbeat moment, while the unforgettable Gone with the Wind theme is its most memorable. These are timeless, dreamy compositions, though not necessarily the most uplifting. If you're looking for something cinematic to get your heart racing, check out Ricardo Chailly's recording of Shostakovich's film scores or even Leopold Stokowski's classic work on Fantasia. --Jason Verlinde

5 out of 5 stars Perlman, Williams reunite in wonderful Serenade sequel.......2003-12-04

With the success of Cinema Serenade, conductor John Williams and violinist Itzhak Perlman reunited to record another collection of classic movie themes. Performed this time by the Boston Pops Orchestra, the music of Cinema Serenade 2: The Golden Age harkens back to the days of stars such as Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn, Ray Milland and Clark Gable.

The 12 selections include themes by Hollywood legends Max Steiner, Miklos Rozsa and Erich Wolfgang Korngold (whose son George would later produce several of composer/conductor Williams' scores for Varese Sarabande Records). Cinema Serenade 2 presents beautiful arrangements of Steiner's themes for Now, Voyager and Gone With The Wind, Korngold's love theme from The Adventures of Robin Hood, Charlie Chaplin's lovely Modern Times and "St Patrick's Day," a traditional Irish song from the John Wayne classic The Quiet Man.

Since I consider myself to be a charter member of The Rick Blaine Society of Rank Sentimentalists, I'd have to say my favorite tracks on this album are Herman Hupfeld's timeless "As Time Goes By" from 1942's Casablanca and Victor Young's "My Foolish Heart" (from the 1949 film of the same title). It was while I was listening to the radio (on the late WTMI 93.1 FM classical station) that the DJ played "As Time Goes By" and I discovered this recording of mostly lyrical themes; I listened to Perlman's haunting violin solos and the Boston Pops' bravura performance and nearly wept. I, of course, bought this CD the next day and it's now one of my favorites.

For fans of Itzhak Perlman, John Williams or film music in general, both of the Cinema Serenade CDs are a treasure trove of beautiful and memory-stirring themes.

5 out of 5 stars Some of the most beautiful music you'll ever hear.......2001-06-15

This is one of the most beautiful CDs I've ever heard. The selections are musically much richer than Cinema Serenade I. In particular, Sir William Walton's music from Henry V, Korngold's music from Robin Hood, and Newman's music from Wuthering Heights are standouts. The Korngold is my favorite, with several themes from the picture packed into a short love scene lifted straight from the movie. The arrangements on this album are stunningly lush, especially those by Williams. His opening chords from The Uninvited are terrific harmonically.

4 out of 5 stars Don't compare it to Cinema Serenade 1.......2000-01-24

Itzhak Perlman is still considered by me the best violinist alive today. His techiniques are so impressable and heartouching and nobody can contest that. The idea of this CD was wonderful, although the selections of the musics aren't so good than in Cinema Serenade 1. But anyway, if you want to listen musics that worldwide the people emotioned with, buy this CD, but don't fall in the temptation to compare it to the first one.

5 out of 5 stars I can't stop listening to this CD...........1999-10-03

All of those lush movie themes are greatly compiled on this CD. I especially liked Laura and Stella by Starlight. After listening to this, you will want to go out and buy/rent these great old movies!

LIKE THE STONES THE JEFFERSON STARSHIP ALWAYS GAVE YOU 2 GREAT CUTS (IN THIS CASE STRANGER AND FIND YOUR WAY BACK) AND THEN A LOT OF FILLER. MODERN TIMES LACKS WHAT FREEDOM AT POINT ZERO HAD WHICH WAS A VERY FOCUSED PAUL KANTNER (POSSIBLY BECAUSE OF THE RETURN OF GRACE SLICK. HE WROTE LESS AND TURNED THE REIGNS BACK OVER TO EVERYONE ELSE. I LIKE SAVE YOUR LOVE AND THE TITLE CUT BUT THEY ARE IN THE SAME BOAT WITH THE OTHER 5. THIS ALBUMS IN MY I-POD FOR LONG FLIGHTS BUT IF ITS A SHORT ONE FREEDOM AT POINT ZERO GETS THE NOD.

5 out of 5 stars Jefferson Starships Hardest Rockin Cd!.......2005-02-22

Jefferson Starship really rocks on this cd which came out in the spring of 1981. This cd has become very hard to find since it went out print in the USA. Grace Slick rejoined the band on this album to share the lead vocals with Mickey Thomas. Lead guitarist Craig Chaquico really stands out on this cd with his masterful guitar solos and riffs. The song "Save Your Love" has one the best guitar solos I have ever heard him play. The songs "Find Your Way Back" and "Stranger" were the hit singles off this cd. This cd is the hradest rocking cd I have heard from Jefferson Starship.

5 out of 5 stars The Forgotten Album - Modern Times, Jefferson Starship .......2005-02-17

MODERN TIMES

This isn't just my opinion, it's a fact. Modern Times is the most underrated Jefferson Starship album of all time and it's no longer in print. If you want it, you have to spend $35 on a remastered Japanese version of this American classic. Funny thing it's probably worth it!

Not counting Paul Kantner, who was usually more of a backup singer, Jefferson Airplane / Starship etc. has had three lead singers in their history, the inimitable Grace Slick, Jefferson Airplane original Marty Balin and the very capable Mickey Thomas and, if I'm not mistaken, this is the first album that both Slick and Thomas appeared on and they are great together. And let's not forget guitarist extraordinaire Craig Chaquico. He may be the best there is and on this album you get to see what he is really capable of. The guitar solo on "Save Your Love" is nothing if not sensational.

On Modern Times the ever changing J.S. lineup consisted of:

Craig Chaquico Synthesizer, Guitar, Guitar (Rhythm)
Aynsley Dunbar Percussion, Drums, Marimba
David Freiberg Organ, Bass, Guitar, Keyboards, Vocals
Paul Kantner Guitar, Guitar (Rythm), Vocals, Oberheim 8
Pete Sears Synthesizer, Bass, Piano, Keyboards, Vocals
Grace Slick Vocals (bckgr)
Mickey Thomas Vocals

1981's Modern Times gave the band the chance to re"introduce" Grace Slick and she makes the best of it, lending her magnificent voice on songs like "Stranger" and "Alien". Opening track, "Find Your Way Back", which was a #26 hit in 1981, seems an appropriate name for the opening track, since wayward members did indeed find their way back. Slick, who has one of the most powerful voices in all of musicdom, and Thomas harmonize wonderfully together and it's as if Grace had never left. In fact Slick's and Thomas's voices are close enough that you have to listen close to tell who's singing. In the end you can tell because Grace's vox has more presence.

Check out this great lineup of songs, these all are(or should be) classics: Find your way Back" is one of the best Jefferson..... songs ever, with a medium tempo start/stop format, this song has Thomas in the lead, with melodic background vocals by Slick. Next, Slick really outdoes herself in the slick arrangement of "Stranger" a rather dark number that was also released as a single, that has interesting bluesy guitars and strong percussion. Mickey Thomas takes the mic for the following rousing number - "Wild Eyes", which is actually reminiscent of earlier Airplane. Ok, stay with me now, the next song "Save your Love" is my second favorite J.S/J.A..song of all-time, just behind the incomparable "Someone to Love". Mickey keeps the mic and Slick again performs her magic on the backups. This is a very catchy mid tempo number and listen to Craig Chaquico play the axe, while Thomas and Slick hum in the background, it is amazing.

Title song, "Modern Times", is another Kantner influenced, rollicking song with whole dang band joining in on this fun number. I suppose if there's a dog on Modern Times it would be "Mary" a mediocre take off of their hit song from the last album "Jane". Guitarist, Chaquico delivers another standout performance on the next track "Free", a semi-fast song with screaming guitars backing Thomas's vocals. "Alien" is another interesting song with heavy drum beat and similarities to "Stranger". Hilarity reigns when the album closes out with "Stairway to Cleveland" another stellar J.S. song, where the entire band and probably the recording studio join in, dissing literally everyone, critics, record labels, DJs and so forth, a fitting climax to a very underrated but excellent album.

CONCLUSION

Some old time fans and purists felt that this new more mainstream Jefferson Starship style was a sellout to commercialism but hey, they've always been commercial. They may have been on the fringe of commercialism but even with Jefferson Airplane, their singles sold, their albums sold and their tours sold out. Yes they did AOR but that was a sideline. Most of their songs through the years were the three to four minute variety, so what's the big deal?

Actually there is nothing wrong with top forty music, at least there didn't used to be, as long as it was imaginative thoughtful music. Sure I've always liked AOR, Heavy Metal and Progressive Rock but I've got my share of albums by big top forty artists like Styx, Def Leppard, Fleetwood Mac etc and for my money Modern Times has forty-three plus minutes of some of the best, most accessible music in the Jefferson ....... catalog.

If you haven't figured out yet that I'm recommending this masterpiece let me make it official. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!!

5 out of 5 stars Modern Times - Modern Rock!.......2004-01-03

Critics love to assail 1980s-era Jefferson Starship for their weak rock, insipid ballads and overall sellout crass commercialism, but in their defense if it was such a sellout why didn't they have a LOT more hits? And in their defense 1979's "Freedom at Point Zero" marked a drastic turning point for them. Farewell to Marty Balin, Grace Slick and the jazzy/blues inspired tracks clocking in at over five minutes. Hello hard rock and Mickey Thomas. Mickey's voice gave them a new vehicle better suited for rock and up-tempo numbers that put Jefferson Starship back on the charts. 1981's "Modern Times" gave the band the chance to "introduce" Grace Slick to the lineup to a positive and very devastating effect. "Find Your Way Back" is an appropriate track for all concerned as it truly is Jefferson Starship, all back, all together and hitting it hard. Grace and Mickey harmonize great together and it's as if Grace had never left. The two keep the tempo going on "Stranger" and really burn the place down on that track. Grace gets an awesome turn on "Wildeyes" and the whole band joins in for a rollicking "Modern Times". It's as if being freed of Marty Balin liberated the group to do what they want. Speaking of doing what they want, the finale "Stairway to Cleveland" is probably the funniest thing any band did in the 80s giving the finger to literally everyone, critics, record labels, DJs and so on. This CD is worth the money just to hear Mickey shout "F*%k you! We do what we want!"

For some insane reason this is a Japanese only CD that has been wonderfully re-mastered, yet even though it sold well in the USA was never released here on CD. Strange that as it probably was the best Jefferson Starship recording of the 1980s along with "Winds of Change" which followed up this one. Now before you think I'm some rocker dude let me correct you...I also LOVE "Earth" era Jefferson Starship and the 70's ballads that turned people's stomachs. I freely admit Peter Wolf ruined the group circa "Knee Deep In the Hoopla" when Paul Kantner bailed (and rightfully so!). Grace Slick has rightfully sworn off any further reunions and tours and rightfully so. Rest on your wonderfully voiced laurels darling...you've earned it!

5 out of 5 stars Bring back basic '80's Rock!.......2003-06-07

just imagine if this CD/Lp was released now in 2003!people would flock to the stores to grab tis one!All the rock albums made now fade away so quickly,this album goes back to what my generation rocked to!Come on now,"save all your love",gives a message that we all wanted back then,Craig really and has always been at the forefront on guitar jammin'.Can't beat the vocals and the rest of the band!Buy this album,you'll be brought back to the 'good old days' of rock......

The term Irish tenor may be fraught with as many wrong-headed, anachronistic characterizations as any phrase in music. But Ronan Tynan not only returns here to the PBS airwaves that helped spread his fame as a member of the Irish Tenors trio, but he overturns a few clichés while delivering a live concert (recorded at the Royal Dublin Society in June 2002) that encompasses everything from Broadway and pop chestnuts to Italian operatic repertoire. Tynan rewards Irish traditions old and new (a medley of Brian Kennedy's and U2's "Life, Love & Happiness"/"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For") and even makes left turns into folkie songstress territory (Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now," Sarah McLachlan's "Angel"). Backed by RTE Orchestra, the unlikely international star invests himself completely in all of it, his strong, crystalline voice playing off the traditions, while forging strong new bonds with the contemporary. --Jerry McCulley

3 out of 5 stars Simply Wonderful.......2005-08-29

This CD is just as great as the more recent "Ronan" CD. I clicked on 3 stars in error. This is a 5++ star album! His voice is sheer perfection, and the songs are wonderful. I also highly recommend the DVD of "The Impossible Dream," even though I didn't care at all for the London Community Choir who sing four songs. Note: The American version of the DVD doesn't have the 25-minute "Dr. Courageous" extra on it that the Irish version does. I saw him in concert last month, and besides having a voice that soars to the rafters, he is warm, funny and endearing.

4 out of 5 stars Music like this could make me a convert.......2005-08-17

I've always been a rock and roll fan since back in the 60's. Listening to this cd could easily convert me into a classical music fan as well. Wow what a voice.

5 out of 5 stars Powerful!.......2003-01-22

Having seen Ronan in person recently in the U.S., I was impressed first and foremost by his singing ability, and second by his stage presence and warmth. He is a special performer and human being. I am proud to be a Ronan Tynan fan.

4 out of 5 stars Tenor terrific.......2003-01-18

I am not a fan of this kind of music, but I bought this after hearing a few sound snippets at amazon and WoW! what a find. Excellent song selection, powerful singing, fine music quality for a live recording. Expand your horizons and enjoy. (get this wayno)

5 out of 5 stars oh molly oh.......2002-12-15

ronan tynan is a great role model for adults and children alike. he was born with a deformity and made a decision he would make something of himself, he had a goal and he surpassed it. no one puts as much of their heart into as he. he puts the audience into his songs, he makes us feel he is singing to each one of us individually. HE IS THE GREATEST IRISH TENOR I HAVE EVER HEARD, INCLUDING JOHN MC CORMAC the great irish tenor of the 30's

Released shortly after his death in 1993, The Yellow Shark represents one of the only accurate performances of Frank Zappa's "serious" orchestral music--at least as far as the composer was concerned. Assembled from a series of sold-out performances in Germany by the Ensemble Moderne, the set includes re-workings of old favorites like "The Dog Breath Variations" and "Uncle Meat," live arrangements of some of his hairiest computer music like "The Girl in the Magnesium Dress" and "G-Spot Tornado" and new works by Zappa composed specifically for the event. The performances are astonishing and the music? Pure Zappa. --Andrew Boscardin

Album Description

The 26-member Ensemble Modern performs FZ's 'most-humanly-impossible-to-play' compositions. Piano duets, string quintets & small ballets. Simply exquisite, with a 60-page booklet to explain it all. Originally released in 1993, it stayed on the classical chart for most of `94. Includes the tracks 'Outrage At Valdez,' 'None Of The Above,' & 'Welcome To The United States', plus arrangements of some of the most fiendishly difficult pieces from FZ's back catalogue & even a 'greatest hit' or two (some would pick this as the definitive version of 'Dog Breath Variations'). Sadly, this was the last album released by FZ during his lifetime. The didipak and the booklet are housed in a slipcase. Rykodisc.

4 out of 5 stars Dedicated to experts?.......2007-06-25

Frank Zappa was very proud of this great and difficult work done at the end of his (too short) life.
It requires also great concentation and a capability that probably I don't have to well understand this kind of experimental classic music.
It goes beyond the experimental rock that is typical of many of his works, leading him to the level of great contemporary experimental classic composers.
Given such a level of difficulty I don't know how much I can suggest to buy it. You just should try to hear at this music and decide if it does fit with your soul (how could I believe just a few years ago that today I would like so much 'Your funeral my trial' of Nick Cave?)

2 out of 5 stars Zappa Attempts Stockhausen.......2007-02-13

FZ goes to Germany to upstage Karlheinz and tries an avant garde stage performance which is an elegant and popular form of expression in Germany. The Germans have perfected this type of marriage between romanticism and neoclassicism. In this case it's an overly technical performance, a display. The orchestra all sound good yet Zappa has given the music to another conductor, Peter Rundel. There is no rhythm section and without a background the result is too intellectual.

5 out of 5 stars The Yello Shark, performed by the Modern Music Ensemble.......2007-01-19

This CD addresses the more serious, compositional aspect of Frank Zappa's career, and it could not be addressed in a more suitable manner. It includes some of FZ's more difficult works, such as "Bee Bop Tango", "Uncle Meat", and "G-Spot Tornado". The conductor is Peter Rundel, and as Zappa says himself, he is a fine conductor. This is highly recommended for anyone who has already developed a taste for Zappa's complex and imaginative arrangements.

5 out of 5 stars ZAP!.......2006-01-20

Trying to define this album to my good friend was hard. "Well it's Zappa's songs done with an orechestra, but's not really classical sounding . . . it's just Zappa." And my friend just simply nodded and said "Sounds awesome." and i realized that if any reviewer would've just said 'It's Zappa!' it wouldn't take much more to sway me. so - It's Zappa! And it's damn near perfect it's so good! Riveting!!!

Be warned! You may like nobody (musically or real life) or anything (musically or real life) ever again after listening to this album, but it's not that big of a deal!

5 out of 5 stars A Frank Zappa Treasure. Better than many of his CDs.......2005-07-29

`The Yellow Shark', with words and music by Frank Zappa is a collection of `chamber music' pieces recorded in 1993 in Germany, performed by a German orchestra, `Ensemble Modern', which, I believe, commissioned Herr Zappa to assemble these pieces for their concerts. In the accompanying booklet, Frank is pictured with a baton in hand, but the credits only have him conducting three pieces, those with a very significant spoken word aspect (all spoken in English). He also makes a brief appearance at the beginning of the CD where he introduces the Ensemble Modern conductor, Peter Rundel.

This recording is probably one of the very last to be done by Zappa himself, before his unexpected death due to illness. Of all the musical figures of the 1960s lost to us over the years, I miss Zappa almost as much as I miss John Lennon, and I am very happy that if we had to lose them, it was not to drugs or any other kind of self abuse.

There are fourteen musical pieces and three `spoken word' pieces on the recording. I confess that the spoken word pieces may actually be a bit dated, especially the `Welcome to the United States' track on a questionnaire for immigrants which makes a reference to terrorism which may seem entirely too glib in our current environment.

Two of the earliest tracks `Dog Breath Variations' and `Uncle Meat' are instantly recognizable from their music and titles as `quotes' from earlier albums, with very little `classical' varnish over their strongly jazzy sound. Most of the other musical pieces have more subtle quotes from earlier Zappa works, and demonstrate influences from George Gershwin, Kurt Weill, the movie music from `Spartacus', and his old mentor, Edgar Varese.

I noticed that the applause on these tracks was louder than the music and I was wondering whether the audience was appreciating the music itself or the presence of that formidable 1960's icon, Frank Zappa. I'm sure it was a little bit of both, but Zappa and audience couldn't resist quoting from one of his best albums, `The Mothers Fillmore East - June 1971'.

I think this quote was entirely appropriate, in that we owe so much musical innovation to the popular musical performers who were nutured by 1960's, producing such wonders as Zappa and the great bands such as The Rolling Stones and The Who, who are still scoring our artistic perceptions on both commercials and dramatic themes on TV.

This may not be Zappa's greatest album, but it is one of his cleanest. Like `Hot Rats', there is very little `throw away' material. And, it is one of the very few pop or classical recordings by a major musical figure where you will hear the performance of a didgeridoo (Australian aborigonal flute).

Highly recommended for Zappa fans and fans of 1960s music in general.

5 out of 5 stars Some of the best grass roots Southern Music out there.......2006-03-02

This album is simply awesome. If you are looking for a sophisticatedly simple bluegrass and folk album, this is it. This features some of the most beautiful fiddle and guitar work. If you love country, bluegrass, folk, or are simply looking to expand your musical horizons, this one is for you. From almost silly ditties like Black Jack Davey and Hop High, to the sad and contemplative Perilous Journey, the bluesy Station Blues and Midnight on the Water, and the more modern hymn-likecuts from Allison Krause and Union Station, this covers the scope of Southern music. Also a good album for exposing to people who normally dislike country because all they have heard is on the radio. This is what it was meant to be.

5 out of 5 stars The ongoing resurgence in old-time music continues strong.......2005-03-02

Playing Time - 72:16 -- Twenty-two tracks of contemporary old-time music for the new generation sample a large variety of primarily Rounder Records artists from Putnam String County Band to Corey Harris, Mac Benford & the Woodshed All-Stars to Alison Krauss, Dirk Powell to Norman Blake, and many others. Cuts vary from the raw simplicity of a singer and banjo (Dirk Powell's "Hop High My Lulu Gal") to more intricate arrangements of full ensembles (Dry Branch Fire Squad's "Walking Back to Richmond"). Scott Alarik provides 4 pages of liner notes about old-time music, and he closes with a quote from Dirk Powell, "I think of traditional music as a bottomless well; the more you take from it, the more you give to it. It's a sustainable resource; that what's so powerful about it, and why more people are listening to it and playing it today...." Three additional pages provide paragraph descriptions about each of the featured artists who works range from recordings released between 1973-2004.

A sampler such as this is a great way to keep the music moving from generation to generation. The ongoing resurgence in old-time music continues strong and vibrant with releases like this one. Some standout tracks include Corey Harris's "Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground," Alison Krauss and Union Station's "There is a Reason," Jones and Leva's "A Sweet Goodbye," and Dirk Powell and Riley Baugus' "When Sorrows Encompass Me Round." Corey Harris' "Station Blues" incorporates guitar, vocals, fife and drum. "Amazing Grace" is executed as an interesting harmonica duet by John Sebastian and Paul Butterfield. A few cuts, like Ron Block's "Your Heart Has Found a Home" is a beautifully-rendered contemporary song, but its arrangement comes off more like acoustic country music than old-time perhaps due to the incorporation of Jerry Douglas' lap steel in the mix.

Well-recorded contemporary old-time music from the last three decades will whet the appetite for more. Many of the themes in these songs are still relevant today. Ken Irwin and Rounder Records are to be commended for their efforts to reissue some excellent old-time music. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)

Should have guessed by the title, it is a bit too far on the worship-music side for my liking, kind of choir-like. Anjani's voice is always superb, no complaints ever about that, just that this is not her usual style and nowhere near jazz-like. Good for a kid's lullabye music cd.

1 out of 5 stars Unmoved.......2006-11-06

Monotonous and lack luster performances; the words and lyrics do not resonate with an authenticity. A total drag to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars Putting on the garment of His Presence.......2005-01-30

Anjani Thomas contributes her lovely voice to Leonard Cohen's masterpiece Dear Heather, adding a touch of the sublime to songs like On That Day (They Wounded New York) and Nightingale. This uplifting album of her own songs is a work of devotion in praise of our Judeo-Christian God.

As such, it mirrors the work of the Psalmist. Anjani plays keyboards and guitar while bass and percussion round of the sound, which is mostly gentle and acoustic. The moving Kyrie Eleison is sung in Greek, whilst Yoshua is a blend of Hebrew and English and the gripping Ari Shemot contains Hebrew, Portuguese and English in a seemless blend of beauty.

The song Praise is an invocation of divine and angelic names like Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel and Michael, a gentle but powerful prayer. Another of my favourites is the comforting and reassuring Yeshurun and the exultant Blessing where her voice really soars on the most beautiful melody on the album. In style, this one in fact reminded me of the early work of folk legend Judy Collins.

The last two tracks are quite mystical and gnostic, YHVH being especially enchanting with awesome comforting and healing emanations. This song would be ideal for devotional activities like meditation and prayer. In this regard, interested listeners might want to investigate Jonathan Goldman's CD Holy Harmony: Healing Code Tuning Forks And Ancient YHSVH Chant.

Those who love Van Morrison in his more spiritual moments, or the classical work Tehillim (Psalms) by Steve Reich, will definitely love this graceful work of devotion. Amongst female artists, this spiritual undertone is also present in the work of vocalists like Emmylou Harris, Jennifer Warnes and Jane Siberry.

The CD case contains a glossary of Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Syriac (Aramaic) terms. The Sacred Names is a real find, and I thank Leonard Cohen who, by using Anjani's voice on his latest album, put me on her trail. Let all that breathe praise the Eternal.

5 out of 5 stars The Sacred Names.......2003-02-10

I am not a religious man. But I highly appreciate this CD.
All her songs are very comforting.

Anjani takes a different approach on her sophomore release, The Sacred Names, produced with Leonard Cohen. Using her delicate harmonies and talent as a keyboardist, Anjani sings her praises to the Lord. But don't expect the usual Christian album here. Anjani continues to include her Hawaiian/Jazz/Folk influences, making The Sacred Names stand out from contemporary Christian releases.
