2 out of 5 stars Poor mix .......2006-02-20

There is no climatic piece in the whole album. It appears it was gathered selections...by that I mean, somebody said "oh let's use this one and this one..." The selections just drift from one to the next and carry little emotional impact on this listener. Yet I love Angela, but Roberto is second rate. Overall, not much on here to remember.

5 out of 5 stars a fine example of two shining opera stars.............2005-10-28

How perfect is it that tenor Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu are a madly in love, married opera couple with voices like angels? I remember when this album first came out in the mid-1990s. At the time, I didn't have a CD player, and their album was a motivation for me to get one, if that says anything about how much I LOVE both of them, as well as the music samples I first heard on NPR.

Alagna's resonance is clear, but, never piercing. Gheorghiu's clean-sounding soprano is expressive, but never shrill, and exhudes a warmth, as well as a softness, when she attacks the really high notes. What sets Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu apart from the pack of young opera stars is their own original, highly energetic and sincere interpretations of popular opera duets, featured here. They include "Tonight" from West Side Story (which I really wouldn't consider opera, but, more an example of musical theatre), and "O soave fanciulla" from La Boheme. I guarantee that listening to this album will make you fall in love with these two wonderful singers.

5 out of 5 stars A musical marriage made in heaven!.......2003-12-01

In the early 1990s I began following the careers of two immensely talented young singers then on the verge of international stardom. The French tenor Roberto Alagna wowed Covent Garden audiences as Romeo and Rodolfo, and had received rave reviews throughout Europe. The splendid Mimi of Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu enlivened an otherwise lackluster 1994 Metropolitan Opera broadcast, and an astounding triumph at Covent Garden as Violetta followed. I had often longed for these two splendid young artists to sing together, and I got my wish in spades when it was publicly announced that they were madly in love - this disc was recorded 6 months before and released in the U.S. 4 days before their real-life marriage. While I and many opera fans are hopeless romantics who are delighted by such things, what really matters is that their VOICES are married. Let's just say that I have heard other singers who are either married or otherwise romantically involved who do not have nearly the rapport that these two people do. They are supremely sensitive to and supportive of each other's artistry and even more importantly, are ultimately the servants of the composer.

Alagna's sweet, warm, earthy tenor and Gheorghiu's velvety, starlit soprano blend so perfectly that it often seems one voice is coming out of two mouths. Nowhere is this more true than on the triumph of the disc, 'Nuit d'ivresse' from Hector Berlioz's 'Les Troyens'. This is a good candidate for the best joint recording they have ever made and is certainly their best individual duet recording. While it is usually sung by a tenor with a heavier voice and a mezzo-soprano, the sheer lyricism of their voices renders this music utterly ravishing - I have never heard this piece sung more beautifully. And how many typical operatic 'love duet' albums would include something this rare? Their 'one voice' quality is also evident in 'Tornami a dir' from 'Don Pasquale', a triumph of heady sweetness, and again, not exactly standard fare. Throughout these selections, and indeed the entire album, we hear superb dynamic sensitivity and gorgeous pianissimo singing, and everything is sung with such dramatic intensity and immersion in character that you think you're hearing a live performance and not a recording. About the only quibble I have is that Alagna's diction in both French and Italian is so perfect that Gheorghiu's comes up a bit short by comparison.

The Cherry Duet from 'L'Amico Fritz' which begins the album is full of sweet affection and wistfulness. In the Saint Sulpice scene from 'Manon', Gheorghiu is irresistibly seductive and tender and Alagna believably torn between Des Grieux's pain at Manon's betrayal and his love for her. Some may actually prefer this version of the duet to the slightly more 'verismo' and less subtle rendition of their complete recording under Antonio Pappano. The Garden Scene from 'Faust', albeit not quite as intense as in their recent Metropolitan Opera performances, is still a triumph of French style, sensitivity, and drama, again with absolutely gorgeous pianissimo singing, this time at 'Eternelle!'. This should be no surprise to anyone who has heard them sing 'Romeo et Juliette'. And, of course, these masters of Gounod's version of 'Romeo and Juliet' also make something special of Bernstein's. I don't believe I've ever heard 'Tonight' more beautifully and musically sung - and as Gheorghiu pointed out in an interview, this is not 'easy' music to sing. The only problem here is that 'West Side Story' is more about Anglo/Puerto Rican culture clash than about family feuds, and so it hurts somewhat that the singers have the wrong (and more importantly, too similar) accents. Nevertheless, their English is clear and understandable, and as usual they mean every word they sing. The disc concludes with a radiant 'O soave fanciulla', where Rodolfo's and Mimi's romance is off to a tender and teasing start.

In addition to the six duets, each singer has two solo arias. Alagna's first is a splendid 'Ah, fuyez douce image', where he not only begins the aria pianissimo, but he makes more of the words than just about any tenor since Georges Thill. He follows this with a rollicking version of Paris' Entrance from 'La Belle Helene'. While not even Alagna can negotiate the B flat octave leaps with the ease of Jussi Bjorling (in his unsurpassable 1938 Swedish-language recording), he has the considerable advantage of native French speech, and a far better appreciation of the piece's humor. Gheorghiu has surpassed her two solo selections since making this recording - the 'Al dolce guidami' on her 'Casta Diva' bel canto disc and the 'Depuis le jour' on her live Covent Garden recital - but these versions demonstrate her ravishing top, command of legato, and extraordinary emotional expressivity.

Richard Armstrong (the music director of the Scottish Opera, who also conducted Alagna's solo debut album) is with his singers all the way and he has the Covent Garden Orchestra play gorgeously . In particular, his molding of the orchestral line and color in the Berlioz is very impressive. Excellent documentation, with full texts and translations, by British vocal collector John Steane. Although this is focused (as it should be) on the music rather than the singers, there is also brief biographical information on both Alagna and Gheorghiu, which none of their subsequent EMI CDs have had.

In short this album is a triumph from beginning to end and an absolute must for any lover of the human voice, absolutely giving lie to the common whine of 'all the great singers are gone forever'. Of course, you'll also have to buy Alagna's and Gheorghiu's complete opera recordings, their equally stunning Verdi duets CD, and too many individual solo albums to count. Almost anything either of these splendid artists do, separately or together, is worth buying and devouring. They're a Golden Age all by themselves!

3 out of 5 stars A Nice Collection, But Something's Missing.......2003-11-09

Since Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu are opera's favorite lovebirds, and real life husband and wife, it is not inconceivable that EMI would release a disk of arias and duets featuring the couple. The disk is reasonably good. It has the standard duets such as "O Soave Fanciulla" from LA BOHEME and "The Cherry Duet" from L'AMICO FRITZ as well as a few lesser known pieces that make the disk interesting. The Broadway stage is also included in a duet from Leonard Bernstein's WEST SIDE STORY. As beautiful as Bernstein's music is, it somehow does not fit in this recording. The two do a reasonably good job, both as soloists and together, but the disk lacks power. The two fail to generate the energy on this disk that the two seem to have on television and in video performances. Their acting abilities surpass many "Golden Age" stars, but their music, while technically good, fails to generate the same excitement as a Corelli--Price, Pavarotti--Freni, or a Callas--Di Stefano pairing would generate. None-the-less, the recording is not bad, and it will certainly be pleasing to fans of the two.

5 out of 5 stars Perfection.......2001-12-06

This is lovely from beginning to end. These two singers really know how to put together a recital CD. It's always satisfying no matter how often I listen to it. The selections they sing are well suited to their voices. It's a pleasure. I can't recommend this CD enough. It's truly a shared program with neither one overwhelming the other. They each get their solo turns and the duets are wonderful.

Surprised that no one has reviewed this yet. Amazon.com doesn't give much info on this release, so I thought I'd rectify that. This is the second brand-new release on the "Mormon Tabernacle Choir" label, following their April 2003 release of "Consider the Lilies."

The sound on this release is, if anything, even cleaner than the previous release, with the Choir and orchestra very evenly balanced. The programming includes a mix of both traditional and brand new songs, a couple of which (Stephen Paulus's "Hymn For America," and Charles Osgood's "The Pledge of Allegiance") were commissioned especially for this recording. Additional note: several of these songs were included on the Choir's 2003 Northeastern States tour, which was a huge success. I highly recommend this recording!

The first U.S. release from the influential U.K. label/dance-music collective Ministry of Sound, Trance Nation America taps the DJ talents of both U.S. coasts in the form of L.A.'s Taylor and New York's Jimmy Van M, two immensely popular mixologists who make good use of this high-profile, double-CD gig. The first disc is Taylor's show, and he wastes no time showing off the anthemic, Christopher Lawrence-esque trance that West Coast DJ's have come to specialize in. Taylor's particular bent is more elegant than most, though, successfully evoking a gentle vibe early in the set with Rabbit in the Moon's floating remix of Garbage's "Milk," and a patient, teasing version of BT's "Dreaming." He definitely does indulge his more primal rhythmic inclinations elsewhere, throwing down the gauntlet with an expertly transitioned Hyperion remix of Inkfish's "Body and Mind," and later, an incredible rendering of his own cranked-up, dance-floor thrill-ride, "Xenophobe." Jimmy Van M's mix on the second disc hovers even more delicately above the turntables, though with a darker, more minor-key vibe that illuminates the stylistic differences that arise regionally in U.S. electronic music. An overt sense of melodic repetition drives the first part of JVM's mix, exemplified in Revolt's "Dive into the Deep," and while his mix gets heavier as it goes, he never leaves that sense of delicacy completely behind. Both mixes display a mystifying ability to explore a huge amount of electronic territory, moving easily between differing rhythms and smoothing over distracting edges. In fact, Ministry of Sound, Taylor, and Jimmy Van M all succeed not only in showing trance's elastic, diverse nature, they also somehow convey the idea that while the U.S. continues to be fertile ground for DJ talent, its regional musical dialects are all still basically derived from the same beat-driven language. --Matthew Cooke

3 out of 5 stars Disc 2 Held Accountable For Brief Love Affair With Trance Genre!.......2007-07-19

Bought this album the week it was released in 2000. This was still during the days when I had no idea what the difference between electronica's multiple genres were. I liked electronic music and my usual pattern in buying electronica albums was to hear a track at a club or on the radio, find out the name and buy a two disc compilation album just for the sole reason that that one recognizable track name was listed on the back. Come on...most of us started like this right?!

Well this album was my first "I don't recognize any of the listed tracks" / "What the hell is trance anyway?" impulsive electronica purchases. A two disc album featuring two different trance DJ's that was suppose to represent America's unique style and sound of trance during that time period.

Disc 1 is mixed by Taylor. Not much to get excited about with this set. Mixing is not overly impressive either.

Disc 2 is mixed by Jimmy Van M and created much more of a buzz for me. Even when I listen to it today, I'm still incredible impressed with the sound and feel than Jimmy Van M conjured up for the first 2/3rds of this set. As the title states, I was sold on the idea that trance was going to be my preferred genre after listening to this disc. "Way of Love" by Jericho was my favorite track for nearly a year. It's not all good though. That fantastic sounding trance groove established over the first seven tracks disappears to a more generic trance sound by track 8 till the end of the set. Very dissapointing.

Although my tastes in electronica have changed, I sometimes wonder if I would have stayed a trance fan longer if more commerical trance albums included sets like this one. I still go back and listen to s lot of older trance albums that get these rave reviews (e.g. Tranceport by Paul Oakenfold) but I'm never as impressed as I was initially with disc 2 of Trance Nation America.

Disc 1 gets 2.5/stars and Disc 2, 3.5/5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars Wickedly Good.......2006-06-01

Let me start off by saying that I'm terrible at writing reviews...Now to the task at hand. This is one of those releases that has never gotten old to me. JVM's disc is honestly one of the best progressive releases that you'll likely hear. The first five tracks might just be the best sequence of driving prog/trance ever(IMO) The ironic thing is that it really doesn't fit the style you'd expect with a title like Trance Nation America. It's more in line with what you'd expect from the Global Underground, Bedrock, and Balance series. So I guess what I'm trying to say is: Buy it, you won't be dissapointed, especially since you can get it used for so cheap.

5 out of 5 stars good stuff.......2006-04-15

Trance Nation America, disc 2 mixed by Jimmy Van M, has excellent track selection and flawless blending making this one of the 3 all time best trance CD's ever. the other 2 are Paul Oakenfold's Global Underground 007 disc 1, and Trance II (trans) disc 1, mixed by Noel W. Sanger

3 out of 5 stars 3 stars please!!!!!!!!.......2006-01-29

I hated it at first because it wasn't fast like ferry corsten's version. But after listening to it over again, I got used to it. Pretty good...but not worth over at least $15 bucks.
Buy it used...

5 out of 5 stars Brilliance well before it's time.......2004-08-24

I've been listening to progressive house ever since its beginnings and having been bored by alot of the productions coming out now I have started going back through my old collection of compilations.

Trance Nation America is almost 5 years old but listening to it again I've realized that I simply lacked the maturity to appreciate this classic. I think I listened to this disk twice and threw it to the bottom of the stack. Jimmy Van M's set here is an underrated progressive house gem and it's a damn shame more people haven't heard this. I would say this record is just as important as Digweed's Global Underground in LA in terms of showcasing the movement towards a darker progressive house/breaks sound. Jimmy Van M is known far more for his productions (Love like sleep, Sanctuary being crowd favorites), and has never been seen as an outstanding DJ. He had since gained some acclaim after being featured on the second Bedrock compilation.

But it's nice to hear where the roots of the progressive sound lie, and why Jimmy Van M was the regular opener for Sasha and Digweed during the Twilo years.

Taylor gives us a very good period piece with huge trance classics but mixes in a few tracks to give the set a slightly tempered quality and not so much hands-in-the-air fluff. Taylor has since played darker and more techy as of late and you can hear his evolution in "Synaesthesia".

I wish Hi Bias would release MORE compilations MORE often. From this series (volume 2 is coming out) to Retro Active (new wave classics) and Old School Jams, these are 2 disc sets, NON-beat mixed with FULL LENGTH 12" versions of the songs, many of which are out of print or which were never released on CD to begin with. Awesome.

Again another great addition from the man who mastered The Miami Trance World....

4 out of 5 stars ATB shines, Acosta falls short.......2005-10-31

CD 1: 5 stars
CD 2: 3 stars
ATB did a flawless job of selecting and putting these tracks together. The shear energy and thumping beats of ATB's set is enough to keep you up till the wee hours of the morning. The tracks build great momentum from one song to the next and it is a solid mix. I have to say though, towards the end, I sensed a loss of steam compared to the ramped up beginning.
George Acosta's CD felt like sand paper to me. It was way too rough and out of control. The beats are too intense and after a while it gets annoying. Not one of his best mixes.
Still ATB's mix is worth the reason to get this set. If you like George Acosta's mix, that's cool too :-)

5 out of 5 stars 140 minutes of transcendental trance..........2005-05-14

let these two discs take you away!...having never heard ATB before,i bought this primarily for Acosta...ATB blew my socks off and Acosta finished the job! i have no idea what anyone could find wrong with this gorgeous compilation...it truly is a journey out of this world. i have lots of trance,van dyk,oakey,lawrence et al...this is up there with the best of 'em. crank it up and let yourself go....

4 out of 5 stars ATB Side Down,Acosta Side Up!.......2005-05-10

Let me say that Ministry of Sound should have NEVER let the king of cheese,ATB be included in a trance compilation!He couldnt be a real dj if he tried.Acosta did a great job with his track selection though.If it were me,I'd have put Armin Van Buuren or Paul Van Dyk on the 1st cd,they rock!Him and George together would have easily made a 5 star cd in my book.Get this but burn the 1st disc,because it's worth nothing but a good coaster or frisbee.

5 out of 5 stars great mix.......2004-08-03

This cd didnt dissapoint me one bit. ATB as uaual did a phenominal job of mixing the songs and he had a great lineup of songs as well. George Acosta played good tracks too, the cd he mixes on this ablum is much better than his "History of Trance." If you are a trance fan then this cd will definitley fit nicley in your collection.

Why can't other labels give dance collectors what they want? Here you get 2 full discs, including all FULL LENGTH, UNMIXED versions of club hits-huge artists, huge remixers, from disco house to peak hour anthems. Nothing chopped up or edited, or strung together with a bunch of filler. Too bad Amazon has the title wrong. It's actually called Divas of House Music--let's just hope it becomes a series with numerous volumes. Track times:

4 out of 5 stars When Crows Refuse to Fly.......2003-08-07

Big House's first 2 CDz rocked out with some definite gems. On their 3rd recorded set for Dead Reckoning, they again reach the stratosphere on several tracks. The opener "Geronimo's Moon" is a midtempo toe tapper with a plaintive lyric, "If there's blood in the sky & the crows refuse to fly, I can already tell there's a rumble down in hell; you can hear the sounds of hounds on my trail." One of my favorites is "Buck These Haggard Blues" which may be a nod to Merle, "Brother, you don't know what's hot when day to day is all you've got & the company's been renting you the shade." "Girl Can't Help It" is a perky tongue-in-cheek track with Steve Vines' frisky bass bouncing joyfully. My very favorite track is "Praying to Live" with its insistent beat Monty Byrom's funky electric lead guitar, "When you try to forgive, you better start with yourself; we're all praying to live & dyin' for a little help." Besides Hank Snow who wrote it, "I'm Movin' On" has been recorded by Ernest Tubb, Ike & Tina Turner, Steppenwolf, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Presley and the Rolling Stones. In the hands of Big House, it rolls through like a freight train at cruising speed. The title track is a rather serious ode to the loss of innocence. "He Don't Need to Know" is a jaunty little country track about faithlessness. "Woodstock Nation" is a good set filled with little jewels. The feel of the playing is loose and flowing rather than sharp and tight, certain fun. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Woodstock Nation.......2002-05-21

Their first two CD's were a clean stripped down sound, this one is fuller and full of great lyrics and solid beat!

5 out of 5 stars Country blues at it's best.......2002-01-11

Big House gives such a rich texture to their music. You can't help but feel this music. It will make you want to dance, sing, cry, smile, laugh. The strong rythm instruments in the background build a solid foundation that the lead instruments and vocals turn into a master work. It has been in my CD changer since I bought it and will probably never be removed.

4 out of 5 stars Woodstock Nation.......2000-06-13

Big Houses latest release "Woodstock Nation" is some of the best music out today. In a country music industry of George Stait and Garth Brooks wanna be's, it is refreshing to have a band with a sound and groove all it's own. This album consists of music ranging from country like the track: He Don't Need to Know About Me, to ballads like River Town, to the blues influenced Buck these Haggard Blues and Praying to Live. There is also a hidden track at the end of the CD that is just a rockin instrumental in the tradition of Carlos Santana and ZZ Top. Big House is truly an awesome house band and in my opinion, one of the best kept secrets in the music industry.

1 out of 5 stars Definitely not for those who truly love dance music!.......2003-03-27

I would like to apologize in advance if I sound a bit too upset over a CD. It's just that I have been burned by the music industry one too many times and it has finally gotten me fed up. They know that you can't return a CD and get your money back once you realize that they have sold you something worthless.

This CD is a joke. A lot of the song listings state that the versions included in this 2-CD set are "extended" or "club" versions. Yeah...whatever! If an extended version clocks in at 3:40, then I would hate to hear the edited version. What would it be...two minutes?!!

The kind of people who would spend money on a double disc collection of dance music would strike me as the people who would want to hear the full-length versions that they hear in the clubs. Why should we pay good $$ to hear 4 minute, radio friendly, edited versions of all of these songs. It's such a waste! We can hear this stuff on the radio for free.

Please...don't fall for this scam like I accidentally did. If you love dance music then don't spend your hard earned cash on this awful CD full of pop songs instead of real dance music. I hope I've been able to save you some money and aggravation with this warning.

2 out of 5 stars You've Heard It All Before........2003-02-26

I suppose "Club Nation America Volume 2" will serve its purpose to those who don't listen to radio or are unfamiliar with dance music. But seasoned pros who are familiar with Ministry of Sound's previous compilations will most likely find this one to be a letdown. There are, however, a few highlights. Being such a huge fan of Thunderpuss (Chris Cox and Barry Harris), I love their remix of Mary J. Blige's "No More Drama." And I also dug the dance version of Res' "They Say Vision." But this compilation is overall predictable and recycles the same songs we've all heard before. I like DJ Sammy's trance remake of "Heaven," but, honestly, there are already dozens of compilations that have this song. And did they have to include that horrific remake of "Like a Prayer" by Mad House? It's bad enough to send ME to a madhouse. DJ Al B. Rich seemed to play it safe and made no attempt to give these two mix CDs anything resembling an edge. For those who are new to dance music and MoS, I'd give this a reluctant green light. But more discriminating listeners won't suffer a huge loss by passing on this one.

4 out of 5 stars A wee bit cheesy but overall good mix of house and trance.......2002-10-06

I recently caught a tv advertisement for this 2-cd mix compilation. Judging by the tracklist, the mix cd set looked appealing enough to check out. Considering this is from Ministry of Sound you have to know that this mix set is going to be good. I have yet to be disappointed by a Ministry of Sound mix compilation. They always put out some quality compilations mixed by some of the world's best djs like Johnny Vicious and George Acosta. They don't pick a bunch of no-name djs. They always get the best djs there is on the club circuit.

On the latest volume of Club Nation America, Al B. Rich is the dj who mixes the entire compilation. The remixes on disc one is primarily house remixes. I really dug the remixes of Mary J. Blige's "No More Drama" and Res' "They Say Vision". Those two remixes are the highlights of disc one for me. I'm not into house music as I once was but overall it is a good cd. I would say disc two is the trance disc. I don't know who ever thought it was a good idea to make a Bryan Adams' song into a trance song but that person had to be smoking something other than a cigarette. The song is extremely cheesy. It screams out "velveeta". I like the song but it is just overly cheesy. One of the cheesiest cover songs in the world of trance music. I also thought the dance version of Madonna's "Like A Prayer" had "velveeta" written all over it. Despite the cheese factor of this compilation, it is very good for a Saturday night before hitting the nightclubs. I thought this compilation was a lot better than the Trance Nation mixed compilation which was ok but nothing to write home about. Still you can't do no wrong with anything by Ministry of Sound.
