Bach: Das Wohltemperirte Clavier, Bk 2

Advantages: Fantastic, spiritually uplifting music
Disadvantages: None

...I was introduced to the music of Krishna Das by my wife. And God bless her for that, says I! For Krishna Das is well, he just IS. Live on Earth is a great introduction to the music of Krishna Das. Krishna Das is an American by birth, and a Hindu. By conviction. His music is a wonderful exploration and celebration of his faith, that of the Hindu. To listen to the music of Krishna Das is to invite a very special experience into one's very soul. Live on Earth is a two CD release and contains a total of 14 tracks. The tracks on CD 1 are: Radhe Shyam Samadhi Sita Ram Shri Guru Charanam Three Rivers Hare Krishna Hanuman Puja Hanuman Chaleesa Sita Ram Jaya Bhagavan On side 2 the tracks are Devi Puja Jaya Jagatambe Mountain Hare Krishna Namah Shivaya Rama Bolo Shri Krishna Govinda/Gopala Each track is pure in sound, and is ultimately...

Advantages: BK is one of the best Dj's goin
Disadvantages: If you're not into dance/trance music this isn't for you

...This 2 Disc Cd has 37 tunes on it, ranging from Yer Man - Good Grief ,BK- Playing with Knives,The Pridigy- No Good. As it's BK on this CD the outcome is Hard House/Trance which I prefer but some of you will be expecting it to be like Vol4, which it isn't all the way I'm afraid, but stil a definite must. In my opinion the first cd is a bit of a grower, the main cd is the second one however which from the first beat of BK & Ed Real's A Little Love has you wanting more until the end, and then more again! BK's choice of tracks and mixing skills go a long way on this Album, my faourite's include X-Complex, The Walk and Antic's- The Ultimate, two huge house anthems. For me this is a must have as part of the Extreme Euphoria Collection, obviously not everyone's choice of music but a wikid choice for all you club heads!... Read review

Advantages: Light, clear, could be played over and again
Disadvantages: Perhaps lacks a bit of magic or sparkle

...If I was to think of performers I would choose to play my favourite pieces of music, then I would not readily think of the Oregon Bach Festival Chamber Orchestra. But a friend of mine who played in the orchestra tipped me off that this was a good one. So I got hold of the CD, opened a bottle of red and sat back with an open mind. Surprise surprise, it's good. Enthusiastic playing for sure, with plenty of joie de vivre. The typical American attention to detail slightly grates with my British sense of spontaneity, but the flawless phrasing, breathing (and no doubt bowing too) and dynamics work in the overall performances because of the lack of indulgence in the tempi. Bach can all too easily sound like a mathematical exercise written out in notes, but there is a lightness and deftness of touch here in the conducting that lifts this out... Read review
