Album Notes: This reissue of EXCERPTS features 3 bonus b-sides from a British single release.
Album Reviews: Rolling Stone (9/5/96, p.64) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Lisa Germano makes music so beautifully tragic and depressing that it seems nearly fatal....There is a surreal quality to the music--accordion, violin, the meowing of her cat--that is enhanced by the woozy, underwater feel of the production, washing the album in a depressive mysticism..."

I haven't written a music review in awhile, and I thought I should take a crack at it again. Previously, I've written ops for Ciao on my favorite songs, as well as introducing what is in my CD collection. I wrote an informative piece on the mentality of MTV and its reputation which many people agreed with me about, whether they watched MTV or not. The two music ops I'm most proud of is one on the Greatest Hits of the 1980s band Survivor, as well as the Collector...

...After listening to Lisa-Lee Darks new album release "Breath of Life," at www.cdvmusic.com/lisalee/
I was astounded by the range and tone of her voice, which is so Similar to her great, great, great auntie Adelina Pattie ( World Famous opera singer). Lisa-Lee is sure to follow in her aunties footsteps, as one of the best British sopranos of the 21st Century. I was amazed how poppy sounding this album is.
The Breath of Life album, features warm strings, heavenly choirs and ambient textures. 2 of the songs demonstrate a contemporary groove which cleverly support Lisas well crafted classical arrangements.
Fortunately the album is straight ahead classical and has a Lord of the rings dreamy filmic angle to a couple of the arrangements. Over all the sound is unintrusive and easy on the ear and would be ideal for dinner parties...

Advantages: good old hardhouse tunes Disadvantages: softened up to be slighty commercial.....
...as a true hardhouse & trance fan i feel that this has converted some of the best tunes from the hardhouse scene past and present and made them slightly too commercial. as much as i respect lisa lashes as a dj i wasn't as impressed as i thought and hoped i would be when i saw the tracklist on this cd pack. Certain tracks remind me more of the doink genre! - good old scouse house feel, however if you collect the euphorias i would still add it to the collection - who knows when it may come in handy at an after party dont buy this if your after full on hardhouse or harddance tracks even though contributing artists include hardhouse legends like Tony De Vit, BK, Glazby and Lisa Lashes herself...
