5 out of 5 stars AMAZING.......2007-07-11

this is just an awsome album. Barbarian is the best song on it, mostly because of the insanely out of place guitar solo that they amazingly fit into that song without making it sound out of place at all. This album in my opinion is better than the new one which i got at their CD release show at the Chameleon. They are from the same area i am, so that makes me like them even more. my point is just buy the album. you'll love it.

5 out of 5 stars The musical person's metal.......2007-01-12

I am not a metalhead. I don't dress in black. I don't list GWAR as one of my favorite bands. I am a fan of good music--that is, music that is good by being complicated, different, beautiful, or otherwise adhering to longstanding rules about what good music is laid out by the critics of the likes of Beethoven, Mozart, Bach and so on. The rest of this album's reviews will tell you this is a great album because it's "sweet" or "heavy" or "pumps you up" or the empty quasi-intelligent-sounding moniker "technical". I'm here to tell you that this album is good because the music is good.

All vocals and feeling through listening aside, let's look at the instrumentation. Each song is filled with guitarwork that will leave your head spinning. Instead of relying on the boring drop-D-string pounding with interspersed licks so heavily, ABR's songs are all but driven by complicated riffs the whole song through. How they can play an entire live set filled with songs like this is more than I can comprehend (but I've seen them do it).

The drumming is not the typical double-bass-drum-roll with limited snare and cymbal variety (think As I Lay Dying--which is good, but less complicated). The beats are nothing like anything else. I feel sorry for this drummer's bandmembers trying to figure out how to play with his crazy intricate beats, but I love it. Try to nod your head to any of their songs (those of you who have rythm) and notice that you'll inevitably be off-beat throughout the song because of changing time-signatures!

This album is good not because it gives me something to jump around, kick, scream, and break things to, but because the musicianship is top-of-the-line.

5 out of 5 stars When you're angry, you scream, now that's awesome.......2006-12-04

This album was amazing! But, it's so stupid that they put the entire album in their official website. I really like the song "Speech Impediment", love how it began, love the drumming in this song, and lovethe vocals in this song.The members are so young, and are impressive. this is definetly heavy! "Endoephins" was really brutal, and the drumming was good too. I really love this song!! The drumming in the beginning of "Too Late For Roses" was good too. This band is soooo heavy! I just can't wait for their new album around the early 2007. My favorite songs are tracks 1-5. "Barbarian" is definetly heavy! But, most songs in this album sounded the same, but still the drumming was amazing!! Good job, boys!

5 out of 5 stars THE BEST.......2006-08-17

I never write reviews and felt like I just had to for these guys... this cd is simply amazing. The vocals are perfect, the music rips and is technically interesting but not forced technical, the sound and production is killer, the arrangements are excellent, and the flow and groove are all there. There isn't much singing so if you're looking for the melodic singing - not here - but the vocals fit in perfect... I'd compare these guys to Lamb of God but they're a little different - I think they're more musically interesting but love both bands. Definitely check this out. This is a cd that you can listen to over and over and over and never get tired of. One of my favs for sure.

5 out of 5 stars Clean Quality and a fresh sound.......2006-08-09

I never expected to like another christian band again after listening to Demon Hunter :\ However, these guys are one of the more technical metalcore bands out there, these guys have alot of talent and this is a CD that shouldn't be missed, and don't get put off by the fact that their christian, since it doesn't really matter as long as the music is good ;)

5 out of 5 stars the best jazz album ever.......2006-08-18

this cd covers every mood that you can have.It also is a cd that you can drive to.This cd is music you want to have with you at all times.one of the best cd's of all time...

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely the BEST!.......2005-08-16

When this album originally came out, I had heard of Sample's work with the Crusaders and thought I would take a chance on his first 'solo' effort. I brought the LP up to the longhair at the cash register and he smiled and exclaimed: "That's a GREAT record!" Little did I know.....

Now 20 years later, this CD is still in constant rotation in my house and car. This IS the BEST of Joe Sample. Great writing and arranging. A great 'Road Trip' album. Pre "smooth-jazz" B.S. A perfect album.

A few of these tunes were remade on the album "Sample This". Nicely done, but the originals stick with me. Don't be afraid to buy this one!

5 out of 5 stars A MUST in ANY Jazz/R&B listener's collection.......2004-07-20

Joe Sample's Rainbow Seeker is my favorite of all of his solo albums. It has classic rhythms and melodies that perfectly blend, classical, jazz, rock, and r& b and latin music. The CD has never just sat on my shelf at home. I can listen to it and never get bored. "Fly With the Wings of Love" is my favorite track because it is timeless. It actually makes you feel like you're flying. I was five years old when this album first came out and made me a forever fan of Joe, and the Crusaders. Also, if you have never been to a Joe Sample/Crusaders concert, you are missing out. They give excellent live shows and interact well with the audience.

NOTE***For all of you younguns out there who listen to rap/hip-hop take note. Track two on this album, "In ALL MY WILDEST DREAMS", was sampled by TUPAC for "Dear MAMA". Once you know where the beats come from, then you can really enjoy/appreciate the art.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Joe Sample.......2002-09-22

I have alot of Joe Samples Recordings both as a Member of Teh Crusaders&Solo&this Album is one of those Albums you wanna play non-stop.Joe Sample is such a Genius on His Overall Fusion within His Playing Style.the Man has a Way of Building up a Groove&then you get the trademark Guitar Licks&Horns come right on with the Drums.this Album has all His Trademark Musical Ingrediants&so much more.Joe Sample is one of the Baddest Musicians I've Ever Heard.A Must Have Set.

I was introduced to this album in 1978 in Germany, and when i used to play it in my apartment here in the states, the other tenants would request for me to turn it up and play it again. his music is soothing, relaxing, just out right GREAT.

I've been listening to this particular CD for 10 years now and it is still as jaw-dropping as it was when I first listened to it! The cuts are outstanding - every song is a masterpiece! Even though Paul has released several other wonderful CD's, this one, in my opinion, is his most-intensive work effort to date and is the standard to which his others are judged. What an outstanding piece of music....all the stars and planets were totally aligned when this CD was recorded and I would give it more stars if I had them to give.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful.......2006-12-14

Soulful, smooth, distinctive...Paul Taylor is one of my favs on the jazz scene. He didn't disappoint with Pleasure Seeker, it will forever be apart of my collection.

4 out of 5 stars Absolutely one of the jazz CDs I have ever heard.............2004-10-28

This album is by far one of my favorites. I don¡¦t think that there is a day that I don¡¦t listen to at least one song on it. I was getting a service done and the technician put in this CD and I was blown away. I searched high and low and finally had to order it off of the Marketplace. It was well worth it. I should have ordered two copies in case one gets messed up. This CD is so relaxing. It was the perfect CD to accompany me on my honeymoon. ƒº My favorite song are Dry Your Eyes and Deeper. Dry Your Eyes just invokes so much emotion, I could listen to it over and over again.

5 out of 5 stars Hands down............2004-10-13

The best contemporary jazz cd ever made!! Songs like "Pleasure seeker" and "Dry your eyes" are classics. There aren't too many cds I can listen to without skipping a song or two, but Pleasure Seeker is an exception. Just a great cd.

5 out of 5 stars Exotic and Erotic "Pleasure Seekers" - This ones for you!.......2003-03-06

I was fortunate enough to see Paul Taylor perform live in Long Beach California last summer. He was absolutely awesome! Every time I hear his music it takes me back to that beautiful ocean-viewed, breezy night. His music is so erotic, and really makes you think of nice times with that someone special. Pleasure Seeker is a wonderful compilation, and for even more pleasure try his CD Hypnotic.

Not only is Weslia wonderful but so is the Mike Greensill Trio. It's cabaret with a jazz flavor and it's delicious. I actually dreamed about her version of I Could Have Told You So. Even songs I'm bored with like My Favorite Things are brand new on this album and just great. Weslia is truly a marvelous interpreter of songs. The story is there and the music, the best!

5 out of 5 stars Groove Zone....!!.......2002-04-04

I normally hate so-called 'smooth jazz'(the whole genre just seemed to cater to people who were too lazy to fully appreciate real jazz), but for some reason this classic from 5 years ago just speaks to me. Whether it's the cool techno-funk feel and exotic percussive textures of the opener "Groove Zone", or simply the passion and fervor with which Mr. Taylor plays, I simply love this CD! Maybe I'm getting to be a bit of a softy in my old age, but for smooth, relaxing sounds from a truly gifted young axeman, seek your pleasure right here!

5 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE!!!.......1999-09-24

This is THE most fantastic CD that I have ever owned. I have had it for almost 2 years and I listen to it every day!! Paul Taylor's blend of melody and rhythm seem to flow through my soul. When is the NEW one coming out!!! I need it soooon. :o)

5 out of 5 stars excellent.......1999-09-20

5 out of 5 stars WHAT A GREAT IMPRESSION.......1999-07-23

I had the opportunity to see Paul Taylor live while he was still palying with Keiko Matsui at a Jazz festival a few years ago. His music has a unique touch and if you love Jazz, you absolutely can't do without Paul's music. Young man, keep on trucking for you are the best. I am anxiously waiting for your next CD.

If you've been lucky enough to hear The Aardvark Jazz Orchestra live, you'll want this CD to relive the experience. Although this release contains only three compositions by Mark Harvey, AJO's music director & conductor, the pieces are very good. You'll find The Seeker which is a hard driving piece that AJO has performed since the mid-1990s, Heartsong a more abstract composition that explores the boundry between noise and music, and Passages/Psalm IV a reflective composition that was inspired by the Psalms.
