The Soul of Healing Meditations

Featuring the soothing narration of Deepak Chopra over the trancelike music of Adam Plack, The Soul of Healing Meditations serves as an introduction to meditation for neophytes and as a more advanced tool to help overcome a physical ailment and/or emotional toxicity. That may make it sound like a digital elixir, but as Chopra says in his liner notes: "We like to tell our patients (at the Chopra Center for Well Being) that the body is the best pharmacy in the world and is capable of making wonder drugs." His message here is that one can naturally prevail over serious life challenges by becoming more attuned to one's body--by relaxing and filtering out the external world, focusing on and influencing internal sensations and biorhythms, and banishing negative thoughts and focusing on the positive aspects of life. This CD is not meant as a cure-all for physical or emotional ills. Rather, it's a supplemental experience to other treatments or programs, and it shows how enlightening and empowering meditation can be when practiced properly. Its actual effects will depend upon the receptiveness of the listener. Plack's accompanying soundtrack ranges from delicate ambient tones to more active Indian music, appropriately serving the mood of each of the album's eight tracks. --Bryan Reesman

Revancha Del Tango (Bonus CD)

Released in Europe in 2001, La Revancha Del Tango’s sexy combination of chillout programming and authentic tango music became a lounge favorite and led to massive sales. Lightning struck twice when it was released two years later in the States--the domestic debut attracted the attention of electronic music hipsters, tango freaks, and world music geeks. And rightfully so. The Gotan trio of Philippe Cohen Solal, Christoph H. Müller, and Eduardo Makaroff write the album's strongest material themselves, but their imaginative incorporation of Frank Zappa's "Chunga's Revenge," Gato Barbieri's theme from the movie Last Tango In Paris and, not surprisingly, Astor Piazzolla's "Vuelvo Al Sur" into the Gotan world shows just how broad and inclusive their tastes really are. Naysayers may complain that this album can be heard in every hip restaurant and clothing boutique from Paris to Los Angeles, but sometimes the cream does rise to the top and gain mass acceptance, as it has here. Also includes a bonus disc of four remixes. --Tad Hendrickson

Lead, Follow, or Try to Get off the dance floor

This set will virtually defy you not to dance. And not bore you like those schmaltzy-slick old bandleaders' stuff. But the beat is every bit as easy to follow. And the sounds, the SOUNDS! Listen to the previews and you'll be hooked.

Sexy & Intoxicating

I first heard a track on the movie "The Truth About Charlie". I have since heard tracks from this album on "Sex and The City" and others. I bought it and fell in love with it.
Very cool, loungy, sexy, and intoxicating. A must buy if you are an international music lover, or just enjoy good lounge music if you are having friends over for a wine tasting, dinner, or a romantic evening. Great CD!

Modern Argentine Tango Perfection!

One of my all time favorite albums of the last 3 or so years. Totally rules!!! I still listen to it today as it still sounds fresh. If you haven't heard it go out and buy it and don't waste any time because it's excellent!! The band perfectly fuses old Argentine tango with modern electronica (downtempo and chilout) to perfection. There have been countless imitations to their music and even an Astor Piazzolla remix CD but this is the original and it's top notch! The others are good too but Gotan Project are the innovators in this style of music! Every single track is perfection with Epoca being my favorite! Their music has also been licensed to many compilations such as the Buddha Bar series or other similar type of lifestyle compilations cd's.

Celtic Woman, Vol. 1

Like the material heard on the A Woman's Heart series, the selections included on Celtic Woman represent the contemporary yet introspective side of Irish music. It includes a fair sprinkling the high, creamy, ethereal sopranos typical of the Celtic Twilight esthetic made famous by Anuna, Enya, and Clannad. But there are also a good many chesty altos and big-voiced pop belters. Rita Connolly packs a clarion-like mezzo of the stripe that has made Mary Black a household name, Áine Furey¹s loosely-raveled pipes sometimes channel Stevie Nicks¹ yeasty growl, while Marian Bradfield could easily become the Irish Patsy Cline. In fact, the tunes themselves often harbor haunting parallels with American old-timey music, which was after all descended from imported Scots-Irish traditions that got land-locked in the Appalachians. With so much high-end diversity on tap, the album has a remarkably broad appeal and should delight fans of modern Celtic styles, country pop balladeers, singer-songwriters or any combination thereof. --Christina Roden

Contemporary Celtic folk jewels

I agree with the other reviewer who said this isn't so much traditional Celtic music as contemporary Celtic folk. I like this kind of music and to me this CD is studded with jewels. I have listened to it many times over many months, and "haunting beauty" is the term I would apply to many of the songs. The selections are varied, and display the wealth of styles available outside of strictly traditional Celtic music today. Rather than go into many of the songs, I'll cite "Annie Moore" as a lavishly beautiful and inspiring song, and restrain myself from praising others. I am totally delighted to have bought this album, and would not want my music collection to be without it.

The Muppet Show: Music, Mayhem and More - 25th Anniversary

Those who spent (or are spending) their formative years watching Kermit and Miss Piggy dance their special interspecies dance will revel in this spectacular, positively historic new Muppets CD, released just in time for the 25th anniversary of Jim Henson's The Muppet Show. A 20-page insert booklet, complete with color photos, details the fascinating history of Muppet music. Remember when Sesame Street's rendition of Jeff Moss's "Rubber Duckie" hit the kiddie pop charts? This 27-song CD harvests favorite and lesser-known recordings from feature films and from the original The Muppet Show, stringing songs ranging from Piero Umiliani's "Mahna Mahna" to Tony Burrello's "There's a New Sound" (the sound that's made by worms) together with skits and grand pronouncements and goofy sound effects like an old-time vaudeville show. A stunning variety of musical styles are showcased in this witty, wonderful collection that reminds us that a world without Fozzie Bear and Gonzo and Kermit and Miss Piggy would be less fuzzy indeed. --Karin Snelson

Customer Review:

could do without it

It was great to see this release, however, less than half of the songs are worth while. The dialog bits throughout the CD are more annoying than entertaining. This is more worthwhile to just download and pay for the individual songs you like rather than paying for the whole CD.

This is what we call the Muppet Show!

And it's awesome! Like so many, I am part of the Sesame Street/Muppet Show generation. So, of course, I wouldn't want my own kids to miss out. It became such a hit with my (now) six year old that I have to buy the CD because my tape wore out!

Good for me, Kid couldn't care less.

I bought this thinking it would make my car rides better with my 17 month old. Truth be known, its made them better for me, but she still is a pain.
I loved almost every track and the lyrics to most all of them came right back to me when the songs started. Its too bad that she won't enjoy them for a few more years.
