A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

After a five-year hiatus, superstar producers Prince Paul (De La Soul) and Dan the Automator (Gorillaz) join forces again, assembling an even more eclectic and arguably more rewarding sequel to 1999's So… How's Your Girl? Most producer-based albums suffer from guest overload, and certainly Handsome Boy has a challenge in juggling over 25 different cameos, ranging from Del Tha Funkee Homosapien to Barrington Levy to Pharrell Williams to Cat Power to John Oates to… you get the idea. Yet they thrown down with such creative aplomb that you're just thankful to have a ticket for the ride. The vibe jumps from the soulful slide of "Breakdown" (feat. Jack Johnson) to the high-powered hip-hop of "If It Wasn't for You" (feat. De La Soul and Starchild Excalibur) to the indescribably dense "Rock and Roll (Could Never Hip Hop Like This) Part 2," which includes DJ Qbert, Lord Finesse, and Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda among other guests. There's so much to digest as Paul and Dan stock the album with a wide range of treats, and each listen reveals something new and delightful. --Oliver Wang

Album Description

White People, the 2nd album from Handsome Boy Modeling School, follows where "So...How's Your Girl?" left off. Bringing together all corners of the musical spectrum: hip-hop, rock, roots, alternative and even jazz, HBMS have put together a seamless cast of players that include: Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington (Linkin Park), RZA, Jack Johnson, Alex Kapronos (Franz Ferdinand), Mars Volta, Pharell and more.

Customer Reviews:

Since I've graduated the Handsome Boy Modeling School.......2007-05-07

It is a fantastic album, a nice collection of artists are put together by Prince Paul and Dan the Automator, good beats, good skits. It instantly became one of my favorite cds. Was blown away when I heard a Jack Johnson song over a beat. Some songs are hit and miss, but I would recommend this cd to anybody that likes hip-hop

Etiquette is the backbone of the Handsome Boy Modeling School.......2006-09-12

If as a handsome, yet style-less man, you are finding you need pointers on when to and when not to fart, how to wash yourself, where to wash yourself, how to seize a handkerchief modeling gig, and many other well-needed tips, then White People is for you!

Hip-hop, trip-hop, hip-hopera, old school, new school, whatever, it doesn't apply here, or maybe it all applies here. Enjoy this! Get it! Try not to be encumbered by the need to categorize it. Let this and the first HBMS as well as Lovage, as well as almost anything by Dan Nakamura into your ear-holes, babies! The cowaberation of Nakamura and the extended De La Soul family, Del the Funky Homosapien, and many others is really something to behold.

The celebrity voice-overs by Tim Meadows and Don Novell are great accompaniment. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll feel groovy. Come and get some.

The best record of 2004.......2005-12-25

Everything about this is perfect..ok a few of the skits could go. The actual songs - those are perfect. From The opening sample of if it wasn't for you, the incredible mike patton song right after.. Amazing piano in class system. I can't get the mars volta song on here out of my head.. The best part is that when mars volta or ..linkin park is on a track..it sounds nothing like their own bands.. Prince paul and dan the automator are badass. I'm ranting.

an album that is worthy of listening to.......2005-12-20

I have not listened to the first album by HBMS (So...How's Your Girl?) so i have nothing to compare this to. The fact that "White People" features the RZA, Pharell, and The Mars Volta is enough of a reason to give this album a chance. Along with the skilled musicians there are some unworthy musicians featured in these recordings, but they did not make this album hard to listen to. They actually helped me gain a little more respect for them. All together this is a compilation of many different genres of music. They all fit together very well. I would reccomend this to anyone who is into pretty chill rock or jazz and who also respects good hip-hop and rap.

Dan and Prince Paul have done it again!.......2005-06-17

God I love these two! Together they bring forth brilliant records....I know alot of people who were dissappointed in this, their latest offering but, for the love of all things good, they've put an an album called "White People" and got MIKE PATTON on board! MIKE PATTON!!!!
Once again this duo has created an album that flows from start to finish. Each and every song is original and new. I can't wait for them to do it again.

Elegance in sound.......2007-05-13

McKellar has one of the finest tenor voices I have heard. There is a range that is broad, while keeping a very masculine sound. I learned that he was trained classically and gave up opera after a season or two to do concert singing. These songs have lush or spare orchestral arrangements as the occasion demands. They are dramatic, even Hollywood-like, arrangements verging on schmalt, but a second hearing convinced me that he was among the finest tenors of the 20th century and the arrangements are "just right."

Scottish Songs for a Lifetime.......2007-05-12

If I was to be only able to carry one CD with me to a desert island, this one might be my choice. The poetry of Robert Burns is entirely inspiring. The vocal performance of McKellar is adequate to Burns' work. The orchestration is rich and appropriately simple. These songs will "stick to your ribs" and leave you longing for a visit to the old sod to personaly perceive the beloved ambiance they evoke.

Simply exquisite!.......2007-05-06

Who can sing like this today? Vocalion has done it again -- two of Kenneth McKellar's wonderful Decca recordings from 1961 and 1962 brought together for a wonderful vocal treat. There are things the lover of the English art song and ballad cannot be without -- Jennifer Vyvyan's lovely renditions of Michael Head's Foxgloves and Roger Quilter's Love's philosophy; Eileen Farrell's stentorian Sing to me by Sydney Homer; John Mark Ainsley's rhapsodic performance of Quilter's Go, Lovely Rose, and Kenneth McKellar singing Land of Heart's Desire, Sleeps the Noon in the Deep Blue Sky and Robert Burns' My love is like a red, red rose. Happily, these songs are preserved on this terrific release. McKellar had a wonderful, powerful and lyric tenor voice. His operatic and oratorio singing is moving on top of being very musical -- dynamics, portamento, etc., scrupulously observed and artistic; however, his sining of art songs, folk songs and ballads is exemplary and always, underscored ALWAYS moving and right on the mark. McKellar had a real affinity for this music and it simply erupts from the grooves (oops, I'm dating myself)!

The Songs of Robert Burns is lovely -- I defy anyone to listen to McKellar's rendition of My love is like a red, red rose, and come away without a tear in the eye. In my opinion, however, the true gem is the release of McKellar's Songs of the Hebrides. Vocalion includes McKellar's spoken introductions to these songs and it is incredible. One might think that it would sound trite, but McKellar is right on the mark and the introductions make the songs that much more memorable. Marjory Kennedy-Fraser is surely smiling down from heaven as this is the most beautiful and atmospheric recording of her Songs of the Hebrides. McKellar scales down his powerful voice for Land of Heart's Desire and it is ravishing. No one comes away unmoved. Again, who can sing like this today? I tried to think of any tenor or baritone singing today that could come close to this kind of a performance -- I could not think of one. Thank you Vocalion for bringing these performances back to light. Speaking of the recording, it is lush, with that beautiful early stereophonic sound preserved. For the lover's of the art song, ballad or folk song, you MUST have these performances.

Love and frustration.......2007-03-08

This recording has some wonderful Scottish songs by a super Scottish tenor. The difficult part for me is that I need the sheet music to go with one of the songs, but I had no luck locating it anywhere. There are other versions of the song ("My heart's in the highlands") available but none like this one. Is there any chance you could help me find it??

Sincerely,
Lyndall

Product Description

The debut effort from this Alabama string band unfolds like a long, pleasantly exhausting evening at a contradance: The tunes are presented mostly in medleys (so as to avoid boredom on both the dancers' and the band's part) and are generally upbeat without being frenetic. The group's instrumentation is a little unusual: Strict traditionalists may not approve of the harmonica or, heaven knows, the banjo ukulele in place of the traditional open-back five-string banjo played clawhammer style. But the twin fiddles of Ed Baggott and Jim Cauthen (mainly playing in unison but occasionally separating into lovely harmony lines) carry the tunes with a sound that is as deeply traditional as any in American music, and if you can listen to these performances without dancing around the room you may need your pulse checked. Highlights include the incongruously beautiful "Muddy Creek/Dead Slave" medley and a very nice rendition of the classic "Rose of Alabama," sung and played on the autoharp by Bill Martin. A must for old-timey music fans.

I'm a fan of Handsome Boy Modeling School, so I was excited to receive my CD. Maybe it's my mistake for not doing the research, but I was unaware that this is an instrumental version. Totally cool beats, as always, just be aware that it is instrumental.

You would never guess that this collection of club hits and house-infused dance-pop is the brainchild of the CARE Resource AIDS charity based in Miami. Despite the fact that all net profits go towards the laudable and weighty goals of AIDS prevention and awareness efforts around the country, the music on this record simply cares about getting you up and on the dance floor. Leading off with the Cher-like diva vocals and relentless drive of M People's "Testify," the beat never lets up and the energy level never surrenders. The set peaks toward the end with a soaring mix surrounding Art of Trance's irresistible "Madagascar" (another stellar version of which can be found on Dave Ralph's Tranceport, Vol. 2). While this disc might be so insistently danceable that it lacks much of a brain, the enthusiasm and nobility that drove its creation ensure that it has a heart. --Matthew Cooke

David Knapp gives is a good number of rare tracks on CD!.......2005-10-13

This continuous mix, more than just a party disc, is a great disc for collectors of dance music. M People starts off the mix with a funky, upbeat mix of "Testify", and then there's a jolting jump right into the much harder and darker "Hurt Me So Bad" by Lulu. The Brightside is that it's so hard to find this track on disc. This track sets up the tone for the next few hard, peak hour vocal anthems, including the absolutely slammin' and hard-to-find on CD "Just What You Did" by Angela. The ever annoying "9PM Til I Come" nearly ruins the entire mix, but luckily, things are saved by a long version of the hex hector mix of Diana Ross, another rare find on CD. Judy Torres's cover of Irene Cara could have been incredibly pretty, but the excessive gospel-like back up vocals get a little annoying, as do the constant repetitions of the words "my own". "Madagascar" is a mellow instrumental trance track that gives you time to cool down-you can almost feel the warm breeze (or air conditioner) blowing over the crowd. "I Found Someone" is a fun cover of Cher saved from being completely hokey by a strong, dark and moody mix-although the vocal riff is a bit cheesy. "Moments" is a cover of an old track that is just terribly boring-irritating melody and vocals, bland instrumental-and WAY too long. However, the last track is the icing on the cake-the near full-length version of the Junior Vasquez mix of "whenever there is love" by Donna Summer and Bruce Roberts. Track times:

1. Testify (6:54)
2. Hurt Me So Bad (6:42)
3. So Hi (5:29)
4. Just What You Did (6:31)
5. 9PM Till I Come (4:49)
6. Until We Meet Again (8:09)
7. Out Here on My Own (6:50)
8. Madagascar (5:36)
9. I found someone (4:52)
10. Moments (9:01)
11. Whenever there is love (8:34)

There are better CDs out there..........2002-04-30

I bought this CD for two songs -- "Out Here On My Own" and "I Found Someone" -- and as it turns out those are the only two songs I'm really into. Both covers (the first is an old Fame song and the second is a Cher cover...you don't see many Cher covers...) they are the highlight of the CD for me. I'm sure many folks like the M People song and several other songs are good and worth the note other reviewers have given them. But I don't give it five stars...only three. I think there are other CDs out there that are better and that I would consider essential CDs...I appreciate the charity effort of this CD... So while there are a couple good tunes on this one, I don't give it the highest marks...there are better CDs out there.

Just What It Did!.......2000-10-12

This CD is worth it just for the 4th track......an awesome dance tune that it is not out commercially....anywhere! If you like the other David Knapp White Party's and the David Knapp/John Blair CD.....you can't help but like this one too!

Keeping you Dancing all night.......2000-09-06

I got this CD as a gift about 4 months ago, and it is the best CD in my collection... Everyone wants me to play it all the time. It definitely has good beats, and the build-ups keep you wanting more and more. Awesome pick!

Another for the collection.......2000-05-15

If you enjoy the other Centaur White Party CDs, this is one to add to the collection. New songs, same rhythms that make you feel fabulous (sorry, couldn't find a better word) being alive. Roll-down your car windows and turn in up!
