Sony, 1996 Music that makes you want to dance This is a great CD, the playing is virtuosic and it's technically quite good. The slow tracks are also done skillfully with lots of variety in sound and interesting glissandos. I recommend it highly for classical and non-classical musicians alike- it's fun to listen to and the ensemble is pretty tight. Some of the folk tunes are so fast and with such a great beat it's hard to sit still while ...             Explorer: Java - Court Gamelan 21 review Various Artists Nonesuch, 2003 A welcome follow up... This is the second recording in the Court Gamelan series by Robert Brown, this time from the Istana Mangkunegaran in Solo. A third CD is also available. It was originally released in 1977. As on the first CD, there are two long and two short pieces. The Puspawarna to start bodes well for the rest of the disc, a good clear recording with all the individual instruments audible - good to hear the ...             Sonoran Hope & Madness19 reviews Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers Emma Java, 2002 album: 5 stars, live show: 6 stars. wow. I listenend to Roger Clyne while he was in the Refreshments and really appreciated his first album. He had a freshness and charismatic outlook that makes you younger for having heard it, and the way he seamlessly blends his Southwestern lifestyle with his music makes me at once envious of him and proud just to bear witness to it. I lamentably stopped paying attention to them after Fizzy Fuzzy ...             Explorer: Java - Court Gamelan 3 Various Artists Nonesuch, 2003 The music of the gamelans from the four courts of Central Java represents one of the great classical traditions of Asia. This recording presents the music of the Kraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, commonly known as the Kraton Yogyakarta, where the Yogyanese style is preserved in its most traditional form. The divisive policy of Dutch colonialism had the unforeseen effect of fostering the performing arts in the protected atmosphere of the courts. ...             Turbo Ocho11 reviews Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers Emma Java, 2008 Done on the fly, and we have a winner!!! This record/DVD combo just proves what Roger, PH, Steve & Nick (as well as producer Clif Norrell & unofficial 5th member Jason Boots) have at their core...pure greatness...after stepping outside their comfort zone and putting creative pressure on themselves...just to see if it could be done, success or failure... The task...go down to Cholla Bay, Mexico, set up shop in a house, bring a ...             Redshift6 reviews Splashdown Java/Capitol, 1999 I'm guessing targets, take aim and show me what you know Splashdown was Melissa Kaplan, Kasson Crooker and Adam Buhler. While some bands have only one or two creative forces within, Splashdown was different in that all three members contributed to the music. With Melissa's lyrics and piano, Adam's incredible guitar work, and Kasson's intricate beats and synths, Splashdown wrote complicated, intelligent, and beautiful music in their short 5-year run. ...             Americano32 reviews Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers Emma Java, 2004 Roots-rock at its best! I have always been a Refreshments fan, but kind of dropped off when they split and it was a while before I realized Roger was still putting out great music. I happened to be in Spokane on business this past fall, and saw that Roger and his Peacemakers were playing at the Big Easy. One of those better decisions in my life deciding to go. What a great show, and I hadn't heard a lot of his ...             The Piano Album3 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Georges Bizet, ... EMI Classics, 1998 Incredible! I am a pianophile and longtime record collector, and this is one of the most awe-inspiring recordings I have ever heard. Stephen Hough's pianism - and I don't mean to be hyperbolic - simply exhausts all adjectives one might try to use to describe it. This is the kind of album to listen to not so much for the music (though these are charming and now-rarely heard pieces) but for the artistry of the ...             Degung-sabilulungan: Sundanese Music of West Java, Vol. 23 reviews Various Artists Sounds of the World, 1999 Memories of Southeast Asia In a recent vacation to Singapore, I encountered this recording on tape and was captured by the rhythm. It is hypnotic, soothing and instantly returns me back to Singapore and the town of Ubud in Bali, Indonesia. In Bali, this type of music is played in many places but one never notices it as it is at almost a subconscience level. I was only reminded of the sounds and memories when I played ...             Java: Court Gamelan4 reviews Various Artists Nonesuch, 2003 Javanese gamelan is beautiful! I picked up this recording in 1984, and it's never been far from my ears. I joined the UCLA gamelan ensemble because of it. At first, this music is hard to listen to, especially for ears accustomed to Western music-but keep listening to it. It grows on you, and grows, and grows. The music is deep, timeless, complex and transcendent. Listening to it transports you to the highest realms of musical ...             Gamelan from Central Java2 reviews Joko Purwanto, Javanese Traditional, ... Arc Music, 2004 A very accessible and varied introduction to Javanese music Despite its lovely cover, I have to admit that this release didn't raise my expectations too highly when I ordered it. I thought it would be an average, budget-price compilation put together without much thought. Infact, it turned out to be a fabulous collection of gamelan recordings, from purely traditional to experimental contemporary work, and with fascinating sleevenotes. In my opinion this ...             Solo Settings Charles Lazarus The Orchard, 2005             Java Jive2 reviews The Ink Spots Delta, 1992 The Ink Spots Live On!!! While it may be true that Bill Kenny is the best known lead singer of The Ink Spots, he was not the original lead singer, nor was he one of the founding members of the band. The band changed members a number of times during the 30's and 40's, and has continued to do so right into the new millenium. Throughout the years that Bill Kenny served as lead vocalist, he still shared the vocal spotlight, ...             Honky Tonk Union23 reviews Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers Emma Java, 2000 Thank God: Roger's still making music I loved the Refeshments. One of the best bands I've ever heard, and when they went away I was disappointed. I'd rate their first CD, Fizzy Fuzzy Big and Buzzy as an all time classic. It's a the drinkinest, most fun CD, Jimmy Buffet for people in or stuck in their 20s and 30s. This CD heads a little into the country side of rock, but not horribly so. It's definitely not Nashville, more ...             Gamelan of Central Java: Court Music Treasures, Vol. 81 review Various Artists Dunya, 2007 One of the best in the series On Volume 8 of the Gamelan of Central Java series, things get started with a wonderfully rich sounding rebab (Indonesian stringed instrument) and the ever-present cicadas providing an authentic atmosphere in the background. This first track "Gendhing Gambir Sawit" sounds like a more-lengthy cousin of the equally well-known "Puspa Warna", the two pieces having similar vocal phrases and overall ...             Flute & Gamelan of West Java1 review Various Artists Topic Records, 1995 A very nice recording of Javanese bamboo flute and gamelan This is a very nice re-issue of an old recording by the great master of the bamboo flute (suling), Salaeman. The first four tracks are wonderful kacapi-suling pieces, which made a lasting impression on me. The melodies and the beautifully executed variations on it evoke pictures of soaring birds, the tranquility of a forest hermitage, flowers. They echo in the mind long after the music has ...             Godowsky: Java Suite2 reviews Leopold Godowsky, Alexandre Tansman, ... Pro-Piano Records, 2000 Excellent Performace This album is a real find! The performer has almost everything needed to express this virtuosic yet impressionistic work; A brilliant technique, tonal clarity, sense of structure, and nuance. There is no unnecessary use of rubato. Along with Ms. Luiza Borac and Jenny Lin, another promising young pianists, Ms. Budiardjo is the one we have to be concerned.             Real to Reel Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers Emma Java, 2007             Gamelan of Central Java, Vol. 1: Classical Gendings1 review Various Artists Dunya, 2004 "sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears..." This is the first volume of the nine-disc series of contemporary Javanese gamelan recordings. It starts with a rather austere-sounding first piece, supposedly evoking the winds that bring clouds and then rain. The (instrumental) second piece has the opposite meaning - keeping the rain away! It is very true to say that this music is often best understood with reference to its wider environment, ...              search for popular music album, americano, central, classical, court, cowboys, degung, degung-sabilulungan, explorer, flute, gamelan, gendings, gilles, godowsky, honky, madness, mountain, music, piano, real, redshift, sabilulungan, settings, sonoran, suite, sundanese, transylvanian, treasures, turbo, union popular music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
