Silkk the Shocker isn't the most gifted of the Miller brothers (Master P and C-Murder are his siblings), either in his generic-as-they-wanna-be lyrics or in his lumpy-like-day-old-oatmeal flow. Yet the hits keep coming, as the solid if uneventful Beats by the Pound production crew provides enough bouncy loops and catchy choruses to keep Silkk's head above water. Most notable are the down-tempo stories related on "Give Me the World" and "Mama Always Told Me." But when it comes to No Limit, an ounce of bounce is worth far more than a pound of gloom; it's "I'm a Soldier," the token posse cut on the record, that achieves its purpose best. Laced with a quick-paced, raw funk, it reaffirms the universal particularities of the NL sound. --Jon Caramanica

More saying UHHHHH.......2007-05-14

Silkk the Shocker's 1998 sophomore effort "Charge It 2 da Game" is a showcase of No Limit Records in its prime. No Limit became extremely popular during the late 90s and was notorious for producing frequent, overblown albums with great singles and lots of filler. No Limit's cheap, by-the-books gangsta rap really can be incredibly appealing though, and it's easy to see why they had so many platinum selling records. When the formula works, it works very well, and much of "Charge It 2 da Game" is no exception. Silkk is not quite the MC his brothers Master P and C-Murder are, but he's got a unique flow and can display some very good lyricism. Like all the No Limit releases, this album is thick with guest appearances, only four of the songs are not posse cuts featuring the other assorted No Limit soldiers. That, and there's a whole lot of saying "UUUUHHH!" The Beats By the Pound team provides all the production, which overall is pretty average, a lot of the beats sound similar and only a few stand out. The running time of the album and individual songs is bloated. Silkk does perform pretty well and there are some excellent cuts scattered, but overall there's just too much filler to make this a very cohesive album. No Limit fans should pick this up, but I wouldn't consider it a must have.

The first song is the No Limit anthem "I'm a Soldier," where over a simple, hardcore beat, ten of the label's rappers deliver representing verses, including all three Miller brothers, Fiend, Mac, Mia X, Mystikal, and others. This is a very memorable song, showcasing exactly what made No Limit so popular during this heyday. I like the epic-sounding "Give Me the World," which showcases the ridiculous materialism of Silkk and his label, but still lyrically is pretty strong. "Throw Yo Hood Up" is a decent Snoop Dogg collaboration over a standard upbeat Beats By the Pound production. "Just Be Straight With Me" is a highlight, a catchy and fun song. On "If I Don't Gotta," Silkk and Fiend dig deep for some heartfelt lyrics, it's one of the better cuts. I find "We Can Dance" to be a little monotonous and boring. "Mama Always Told Me" is a very average No Limit song, you'll feel like you've heard it before all right. "You Ain't Gotta Lie to Kick It" is more skippable filler material. I really like the gangsta slow jam "Thug `N' Me," this is some No Limit at its finest. I really like the production and the vocals are great. "All Night" is average and forgettable. "Who Can I Trust?" is lyrically and musically one of the better songs. "It Ain't My Fault" is okay, a Mystikal appearance improves it. The catchy and upbeat "What Gangstas Do" has great vibes, it's a highlight for sure. The bouncy "Let Me Hit It" is okay, but "How Many" is an anthem, a hardcore song that despite being generic is very appealing. The last three songs are all solo cuts, the best being the deep and well-produced closer "Me and You."

"Charge It 2 da Game" is now out of print, but keep in mind that this was a #1 album less than ten years ago, so it's still pretty easy to find. I recommend this album to fans of the other No Limit material, there's some fun music here that's quite enjoyable. It's very inconsistent, but "Charge It 2 da Game" definitely has its moments.

Getting better..........2006-08-28

When you look up the word "versality" in the dictionary, you'll see Silkk the Shocker's portrait right o tnext it. Charge it 2 da game, Silkk's second album, proves without a doubt that he's not a one-hit wonder and is able avoid the sophomore jinx that has plagued many artists in the music industry. His flow is unpredictable and varies from track to track which keeps the listener curious on what Silkk might to do next. For example "Give me the world", we find Silkk to be aggressive as his desire for money and power continue to intentsify while "Who can I trust?" has Silkk in a state of confusion as he uncovers the truth on whether the person he knows is really a friend or foe. Then there's "All night long" where he's laid back and chillin', which is ideal for party or while you're cruising in your ride. Being honest with him is important in "You ain't got to lie to kick it" proving that you don't need to be rich and flashy to be his friend. It doesn't stop there, a West Coast and Ditry South collbration is put together as Silkk teams up Death Row artist Snoop Dogg in "Throw yo hood up" and outcome that turns to be Silkk's best track out of the entire album.

With all that talent in Silkk, his album is by far from flawless, tracks such as "If I don't gotta" and "How many?" are pure fillers and do nothing to enhance the album's quality. "We can dance" is a long, boring, uninspiring track that will surely put the listener rather than party. Also, The skits here are short and pointless which makes me questions why Silkk would include such material like that into his album.

Aside from all that, Silkk shows a lot of potential and no signs of slowing down.

3.5 star 2nd solo album -- his best solo effort.......2005-08-22

A year and a hlf since his debut, Silkk returns with his sophomore effort, and unlike most 2nd albums, it is his best one. Like all No Limit releases around that time, guests are all over the album, but this is better as Silkk probably couldn't carry the whole album himself, and only 6 don't have guests and most of these aren't too good. Packed with 18 songs, it has 1 - 3 almost classics songs, 6 I skip, 6 ok ones, and the rest are good. Production is great on some songs and so so on others and is handled all by the Beats by the Pound Crew. Craig B & Mo B Dick each do 5 songs, O'Dell does 4, and KLC & Carlos Stephens each do 2. A good album to have for his fans or fans of late 90's No Limit music.

The first voice you hear on the new Snoop record is that of Master P, introducing the latest recruit to the No Limit army. It's a message, albeit a subtle one: in the team game of hip-hop, there's been a trade, and our man P gained the advantage. Da Game... is Snoop's first release on the label, and it is a No Limit release through and through--in spite of the fact that, in the context of No Limit's marketing megalopoly, Snoop's Merlot mixes poorly with the rest of the crew's Asti Spumanti. Fortunately, his flow has always been blessed with a Southern swing, and the Beats by the Pound gumbo funk is a natural for the Doggfather, even if there's little on the album that pushes the creative envelope. As for Snoop himself, he spends ample time attempting to evoke previous glories with the uninspired "Gin & Juice II" and "Still a G Thang," though his strongest moments come with Mia X on "Slow Down" and with Mystikal and C-Murder on "See Ya When I Get There," both classic No Limit material. --Jon Caramanica

Snoop Attempts to Resurrect Himself on No Limit With Mediocre Results.......2007-06-07

Unlike consistent early albums like 'Doggystyle', this No Limit release contains alot of filler and useless tracks. Some of No Limit's goons on here sound out of place with Snoop on here as well, but C-Murder, Mystikal and Silkk the Shocker do a commendable job here.

As for the songs, 'Slow Down' has a nice beat (though the lyrics leave much to be desired). 'Woof!' is fantastic, and includes Mystikal on it who adds his trademark crazy flow to it. 'Gin & Juice II' is not nearly as good as the classic we all know and love, but it's still a decent remake that is much better than track 10, 'Still a G Thang', which is a typical boring track on here. 'Tru Tank Dogs' and 'Game Of Life' have some interesting beats but only decent lyrics (it's No Limit though, so what do you expect...?). 'Dp Gangsta' is a very nice track, and the cheesy No Limit production is actually pretty nice there.

As for the rest... it's a mish-mash of the good, bad, and boring. I never cared about No Limit before and this is the only No Limit album in my collection (my friend left a Master P cd over my house once and I thought it was s**t), but this is an alright release. There's simply too much filler on it and the No Limit production sounds outdated (you can tell what year this is from). But when it's all said and done, 'Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not To Be Told' ends up being a decent listen.

Not His Worst.......2006-07-17

Snoop attempted to resurrect his career by joining No Limit after Deathrow crashed. This is his first No Limit release and it is not his worst album but nothing compared to the deathrow releases. I'm not going to judge this album on its comparison to his early albums but he could have done better for this. He still has his lazy, Laid back voice which you just can't dislike but this album needed the following
1. Guest appearances by the people he rapped with while on deathrow not these talentless, annoying no limit characters
2. Part of the reason some of his other albums became famous was because they were produced by Dr Dre. Dr Dre gives great beats etc and Snoop needs those.
However these tracks aren't all that bad and seeing i'm a big Snoop fan I can appreciate all his albums even though I rather Snoop Doggy Dogg. My favourite song would have to be the single "Still A G Thang" but some other good tracks are DP Gangsta, Game Of Life, Ain't Nuthin Personal, Snoop World, I Can't Take The Heat, Woof!, Gin & Juice II and Doggz Gonna Get Ya.

still ah g thang.......2005-07-22

I like this album snoops wit no limit I wolud say 60% of this album is tight but there songs thats just off the chain thoe there was a movie to this album but I nevah seen it I would get it thoe tight songs are 1,3,4,10"dpg!",13,14,17,19,21 tha best! piece.

I should've listened to my instinct and moved on to another CD, but instead listened to my friend....This album did not do anything for me...Too bad it cost me $17 in 1998. I tried to trade it and they didn't want it....hmm.

I give it two stars, one for the effort with another label and another for the artwork.

C-walk G , from LONG BEACH to little rock and back.......2005-03-28

A real gangsta rap. I like it a lot better than his new sh*t. Snoop got caried away alittle with the money , but is all good if is from the hood. MY favorite song is "GAME OF LIFE" and don't forget it , only listen to this album when yo smoke.

Tru- Tru 2 Da Game.......2007-01-17

Tru's sophomore studio album was "Tru 2 Da Game" (1997). These days I find it hard to listen most No Limit releases (with exceptions like "Ghetto D", and some of Tru's work) and appreciate them like I used to. Tru consisted of Master P (A.K.A. Percy Miller) and his two brothers Silkk the Shocker (A.K.A. Vyshonn Miller) & C-Murder (A.K.A. Corey Miller). This was the second of four album's, their first two releases remain my favourite. Guest appearances on this two disc release come from No Limit family: Mia X, Mo B Dick, Big Ed, Mr. Serv-On, C-Loc, Kane & Abel. 3.5.

Highlights:

"I Always Feel Like" - Tru delivers an outstanding cut about paranoia/stress of being in the dope game. Excellent Chorus.

"Fedz" - Tru talk about the feds and the game backed by some memorable singing from Mia X.

"Tru'?s" - backed by some upbeat production Tru, Big Ed, Mr Serv-On talks about trying to make it from Rags to Riches and staying real.

"Pop Goes My 9" - Silkk, Master P, Kane & Abel and Mo B Dick provide another impressive track. Mo B Dick delivers another standout chorus, he is the same artist who laced "Bourbons & Cadillac's" with a classic chorus.

"No Limit Soldiers" - Tru delivers a grimey cut backed by some hardhitting production.

A tasty slice of Americana........2006-12-23

In my formative years, I found myself in a difficult struggle to fit in with my peers. It seems that my affinity for playing games such as "Magic: the Gathering" and "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D)" with several like-minded friends from marching band held me back from gaining any real form of acceptance from the "cool" people in my class. Simply put, I was an outcast. Even my father, rest his soul, would not speak to me directly.. we would only communicate through e-mail (which was a crude, unpolished technology at the time) because he could not stand the sight of such a poor excuse for a young man.

Then, one day, my life took a drastic turn.

One fall day, I was introduced to the visionary artistry of Master P, Silkk da Shocker, and C-Murder by a fellow McDonald's kitchen associate. He informed me that he possessed something that would undoubtedly change my life. I was very reluctant to take his offering.. it was a blank tape that contained a simple inscription on one side, side A I believe it was. In bold, black print (obviously the work of a Sharpie Marker or perhaps a Marks-o-Lot) was written the word, "Ugh." Little did I know, I was about to enter what I now refer to as the "Platinum Years" of my life...a time in which my morals, values, virtues, and worldview would be changed forever.

Tru 2 da Game was the album that he gave me. I had never heard anything as beautifully mesmerizing as what I heard that day...swirls of sound and color...gyrations of beat and rhythm combined with a flavor of poetry that was completely foreign to me at the time...brutal honesty and sincerity that traversed the wires of my headphones out to the speakers and down into my ear canal all the way through my veins and then into my heart gripping it in the same manner of which a 12th level Paladin clutches his +3 Hammer of Odeonus. Completely and utterly captivating.

I have since purchased both versions of the CD (The one that contains the track "Smokin' Green" and the version that does not) and I have listened to both of them equally every day for the last 9 years doing my best to follow the virtues and ideology that Master P and company worked so vociferously to layer within the tracks of this un-deniable masterpiece...which has been a proven formula for success. I won't go into a great deal of detail.. just know that life is good.

I hope that my story of success will serve you all as a form of motivation and inspiration.

If I could give more stars, I would. Since I am forced to work within the restrictions of a 5-star rating convention, 5 stars it is.

If you really want this CD I recomend doing an "ebay" search for the original. Rather than this one.

This is the companion CD to a video game where the player gets to pretend to be Hugh Hefner, so "heads" won't be coming to this disc for the latest schaffel, breakcore or baile funk tracks. And indeed, these songs are not the very freshest; Armand van Helden's "Fly Away" came out in 2001, for chrissakes, and we all know dance music moves in dog years. Then again, it takes years to put together a video game, and four of the songs do appear in the game itself. Freaky electro pioneer Felix da Housecat has assembled a solid mix of poppy, four on the floor house here. This is music to get mindless, down and dirty to, the perfect soundtrack to a Spring Break-themed party. No one is likely to think of this as Felix's finest moment, but hopefully the Detroit native now gets invited to the mansion whenever he's in town. --Mike McGonigal

Great selection by "DA HOUSECAT" not a lot of fresh tunes but the ones well selected to have an enjoyable time listening or parting, The mixing is not such extended but still its all about the music. Will spank your spekers at good level so make part of your collection

Weak.......2005-01-30

I'm not sure what the guy below me is talking about. I am shocked that Felix would put his name on something of this low of quality. The track selection is fine. However, the mixing is absolutely poor compared to something like Felix's Bugged Out Mix. I was expecting some high quality house music properly mixed, instead I buy it and it's all 10 second mixes. And the one song in the middle that's kind of a downtempo track just jumps into another upbeat house track and it sounded horrible. I was very disappointed, because I have seen Felix live and own his other CDs and know how good he really is. Stay away from this CD, I can hardly see anyone that knows their stuff enjoying this.

wicked beats!.......2005-01-20

As per usual, Felix's mixing is superb. I especially dig the High Caliber track!

This album will make you want to SHAKE IT!

Da Game Does Owe Him.......2006-04-09

I think this is Fly's best album to date, in my opinion. All songs in here bump too like on "Just Gettin It On". But this one holds out a little more, Out of all that have left 3-6 mafia i think he's holdin it real hard and hasn't fell off like most of them do. He was the first member to leave them in 95', he has the same lyrical ability like the top people in the south. He should be right next to greats like 8ball & MJG, scarface, Ugk, people should really check him out. Forget T.I, this is the truth he is "The King Of The South". You gotta cop this junt.

He's On Top.......2004-12-06

Take it from ya boy, A south memphis representative that Fly is the best rapper of his time. I have to say that I like alot of people, but Fly still remains on top of the list. He don't flogde or fake like some rappers. He says it right to your face that he's the best and is still broke with a smile on his face. Sap Suckaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Playa Flizzy Ridin High.......2000-10-06

Playa Fly is the man. He is the best rapper out there. I got all 4 of his albums and I suggest anyone that doesnt to get you some playa Fly. Anytime Im listening to Music it is Playa Fly. and I cant wait for FLY2K to come out, I know that'll be strizaight

a lyrical monster.......2000-04-24

Playa Fly is my favorite rapper anyway, but I still say that this album is just another great edition to his lyrical dynasty. He is one of the few dudes I know that rap about real spiritual matters and philosiphies. Plus the beats on his songs bump and jump yo stereo. If you ain't familiar with playa fly, I say go and get his previous albums and look out for 'em in the future . The albums, "Movin on" and "Fly Sh" are a must to have. So take it from this playa from Decatur, GA and pick up yo playa fly today.

Better than most all the ordinary FF soundtracks.......2007-01-24

First of all, people seem to be overly critical of the choir. They say that it sounds out of tune or whatever, but this is only because they were recorded live. In Advent: One-Winged Angel, the same choir sounds totally incredible. The choir itself isn't bad, it's the recording environment that was not so hot.
That said, I can say that this is a very impressive two CD set, even though several of the songs I don't recognize. The music is professionally composed and arranged, and just goes to show that Final Fantasy music is proffesional level. The only cons are the lesser sound quality of being recorded live and the MC tracks, which can get to be a bit long. The way they keep talking makes me really want to know what they're saying. My favorite pieces are:
1. One-Winged Angel: I do admit that the FFVII Reunion Tracks arrangement is better, but only because of the recording environment. This arrangement has a lot of cool new elements and an awesome sound. The only problems I see with this arrangement is the absent-minded microphone placement and a bit of background shuffling that is heard at one part. The shuffling is very quiet and you get used to it, but I'm just picky about these things. As for the microphone placement; whoever put one right next to the #%@$in' snare drum deproved the quality of the piece a bit much. The snare drum during the chorus is louder than any of the other parts, and the choir is already being a bit overpowered by the orchestra. This makes for a choral section that isn't heard well enough. Despite all these slight cons, however, this arrangement of the classic piece remains superb and awesome-sounding.
2. Liberi Fatali: Same choir rant as before. This arrangement doesn't sound quite as good as the original, but it's not really that different, it's still an incredible piece.
3. Melodies of Life: This arrangement is better, I think, than the original except for the singing. She sounded a lot more confident in the original. But aside from that, this song is a great classic.
4. Suteki Da Ne: The original was quite a bit better, both in sound quality and in the singing. Rikki was nervous during the performance, it is shown by her incessant breath-taking in the middle of phrases and low confidence in her voice. However, the instrumentation does sound nicely different in some spots, and Rikki's singing is still beautiful.
This album is a must-have for any FF freak, and is better than most all the ordinary FF soundtracks. Don't miss it.

I love this CD........2004-02-23

Firstly, Mr. Gibbs -- why would anybody buy this if they haven't played Final Fantasy games?

Secondly, this is an amazing CD. With the exception of One-Winged Angel, every track on this CD is (in my opinion) the best orchestral version of these songs ever done. And this is coming from somebody who owns Celtic Moon, Grand Finale, Fithos Lusec, and a smattering of Orchestral Game Concert CDs.

Do yourself a favor and buy this CD. It really is excellent.

For those who wanna get their FF orchestra groove on..........2004-02-20

Final Fantasy 20020220 is worth buying. It is a great CD to listen to if you want to hear orchestrated versions performed live, mistakes and all. That said, let me point out everything that is wrong with the performances, and why I did not give 20020220 a 5/5. As partial as I am to Final Fantasy music, I must criticize the singing in this performance. In both tracks that featured a choir (Liberi Fatali and One Winged Angel) it seemed like everyone was trying to outsing each other, the tenors in particular would sing awfully loud, while everyone else was drowned out. The soloists RIKKI and Emiko Shiratori did a fabulous job, in my opinon. Others said that they sounded nervous, I do not agree. The actual performance by the orchestra was brilliant. I especially liked Liberi Fatali, One Winged Angel, and Vamo' Alla Flamenco. I wish I could speak Japanese, because 8 of the 25 tracks on the 2 disc set are nothing but the concert MCs talking about stuff. All in all I would like to restate that FF20020220 is worth buying, but maybe you should play some of the FF games to hear these songs before you listen to the orchestra version, all the more to appreciate this masterpiece.

The Fantasy Continues..........2003-06-10

Nobuo Uematsu truly holds true to the Final Fantasy music legacy he himself set down beginning with the Final Fantasy Symphonic Suite CDs. Although I do have a few complaints, my overall take on this album is extremely positive. I'd say my favourite renditions on this CD are "Vamo' Alla Flamenco", lush, rich arrangement for orchestra (which truly is the greatest symphonic rendering I've seen from almost any game composer [thanks to Shiro Hamaguchi]) and the brass-graced Final Fantasy VI's "Terra" / "Tina" (which almost lives up to the Grand Finale version). Basically, every single song on these two CDs were mind-blowing with the exceptions of the two most crucial ones, "Liberi Fatali" and "One-Winged Angel". Okay, fine... I've got to give credit where credit is due, Liberi Fatali isn't THAT bad. It falters near the end though, but the primary complaint isn't the symphonic elements (or even the annoying snare [?] drum... *grrr*), but rather the supposed choir they assigned. Not very harmonic or in-tune, but I still give it 4-stars.
To sum it all up, all very nice arrangements with those little differences which make it all the more enjoyable. Cons? The choir voices and the MC segments (I don't speak Japanese, so my apologies if you do and find them entertaining).

One of the Best (non OST) Final Fantasy works.......2003-02-19

There hasn't been a live CD since the ill-fated "Symphonic Suite" many years ago and now there is this - quite simply put a live version of some of the best Final Fantasy songs. The Tokyo Philharmonic is on every beat and adds alittle more to the Final Fantasy melodies. The MC's get annoying and their Japanese is very hard to understand. The choice of songs was superb yet there is no "live feel" as most of the songs are played just as you would have heard them on another Final Fantasy CD. All in all, this is one of the best and one can easily see by some of its few flaws to its real beauty - the epitome of Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy work.

This is DEFINITELY worth a listen!.......2007-01-16

I am a sax player as well as a music teacher and have found this CD to be well worth the money! Not only do you get a wide variety of styles, but you also get to hear one of the rare saxophone orchestras who use uncommon instruments. You can tell that these players have a lot of fun together, which makes it all the more enjoyable to listen to as well as teach with. There are slight intonation problems on the occasion, but when you think about all of the things they are doing - I think I'll let that one slide! Don't miss out on this unique and enjoyable group! My personal favorite track is Casbah Shuffle. I hope you enjoy!

DO NOT BUY THIS CD!!!.......2005-09-18

What a major disappointment. Has this group ever heard of intonation, vibrato, or articulation? There are several spots on this CD where the "ensemble" is just not even close to being together. I don't know what these other reviewers are talking about. Don't buy this CD "just to hear the contrabass sax." I have heard better sounds from my lawn mower running over tree branches. The Nuclear Whales should pull this recording off the market to avoid any more embarrassment. I will not buy any more of their recordings, and urge you to do the same. Save your money for gas.

Totally enthralling!.......2000-09-30

If you only have one saxophone ensemble CD, it should be from the Whales. And if you don't like saxophone, buy this anyways--you will still like it. Good music is music that sounds good, right?

This CD starts, appropriately enough, with a fanfare (Fanfare for the Common Man), which makes great use of the soprano lead. The lower voices are gradually layered in, but they don't bring out all the horns until the second track, which rotates the leads among all the players, including Don Stevens on the Contrabass.

To put it mildly, the Contrabass sax is more than a bit unusual, and there are only a few in existence. Stevens' horn was fortuitously discovered in a New Jersey warehouse just before demolition. The difference between a more standard quartet and this orchestra is the addition of 50% more players and additional voices. The Whales always supplemented the standard 4 saxes (soprano, alto, tenor, and bari) with sopranino and bass. Adding the contrabsss makes this pure magic. Nobody can listen to a contrabass sax without cracking a smile.

I'm a sucker for Ellington, so when it is played by a talented group of musicians like this--especially a sax ensemble--its irresistable to me. The Ellington medley is exquisite, with a tearful interpretation of "Come Sunday" immediately followed by a novel rendition of "Caravan."

The contrabass totally rocks on "Casbah Shuffle". That thing just kind of thwops-it is almost percussive, which makes a great effect in conjunction with the tabla (the Indian drum that goes `dweep, dweep, dweep') and tam tam. With a soprano lead, it has a real Don Ellis "Electric Bath" kind of feel. This is fun stuff-I can't imagine anyone not liking this.

No group located in a tree-hugging locale like Santa Cruz, CA would name themselves Nuclear Whales if they didn't have a sense of humor, but a novelty number like "Shuffle" is immediately followed by a completely serious number, "New York City Ghost," which is so haunting it gives me goose bumps. Interestingly, they don't identify the soloists, and I'm not sure which of the 3 soprano-players does the lead in this one. For the most part, they arrange their own stuff, but this one is arranged by Lennie Niehaus.

Back to another upbeat number; "Sweet Georgia Brown" must have been written with the saxophone in mind. This is the thwoppiest chart for the contrabass. It's followed by an original vocal piece by baritonist Ann Merrell called "Mold, Mold" that would be perfect for some of the Louis Jordan-inspired swing bands that were popular a couple years back.

The rest of the album is more of the same, alternating grit, swing & jazz with Richard Strauss and Louis Gottschalk. This group can play anything, and it sounds great.

Much Larger Than Whales!!.......1999-04-07

Folks, this is simply ensemble sax at it's finest! It don't get much better!

Being a lover of Bass Sax, the Contrabass only added more musical jucies to my ears and pulled untold watts from my system!

UNBELIEVABLE arrangements! GENIUS! More genius are the artists! You have no idea what takes as a musician to get to this plateau, and beyond that, get THIS many together as a group and WHALE away!

The NW are the Canadian Brass, only with reeds! And MORE! A MUST if you are an audiophile! If you are a reed player, you already own it. If not, GET IT!

From Dixieland to Classical and everything inbetween, they have it all. The campiness of various tunes exude artististic virtuosity and push the creative envelope!

You MUST hear this on a high end system as I have. Bozak 310-B Concert Masters do very fine with this range of frequences. (28 cycles required--minimum, to hear it all!).

CRANK IT! You will feel things you never felt before! The arrangements are spectacular!!!

A VERY good HIGH quality recording. No limiters or balonery! Just a PURE sound without distortion.

I can't say enough. Simply the best stuff I have heard in YEARS!

I'm in Milwaukee. If you are near or get by here, look me up and HEAR this correctly!

That's how strongly I feel about the Nuclear Whales! Simply a joy and acts as auricle viagra!
