Two of the works recorded here are world premiere recordings: "Made in America" and "Tambor." The first uses "America the Beautiful" as its first melodic theme, and bits of it appear throughout the work. Tower interweaves the melodic fragments with many other original tunes, and she colors the work in what could be called the American idiom, with wide-open spaces. There is a central section of a darker nature, but the work ends in glory. "Tambor" is dominated by percussion of all kinds - drums, blocks, etc. - and is an exciting, propulsive work. There are long periods of solos for percussion instruments that act almost as mini-cadenzas. The Concerto for Orchestra is a terrific work that uses the sections of the orchestra as solos, duets and in bunches. Standout moments are a remarkable tuba solo, a dueling duet for trumpets, and a part for the cellos alone. It's a flavorful, fascinating work. Leonard Slatkin leads the Nashville Symphony in excellent performances. --Robert Levine

Review for Rob Zombie's American Made Music to Strip By.......2007-05-14

I love the incredible sounds that Rob Zombie creates on this exciting CD. It is inspiring and motivating with a real human-ness that has a very modern edge. The sound waves are like reviving ocean waves that make you want to get out there and enjoy life... His ability to awaken the human senses are fabulously demonstrated through his electrifying music. I love his revolutionary style, and am very happy to experience his exhilarating music.

Good but not great........2007-04-06

I bought this album mainly for track 9. I like the CD for the most part, and the mixes are good, but it's not quite as good as Supersexy Swingin' Sounds mainly because the originals of the remixes here are not quite as good as the originals that are remixed for SSS. I would recommend it, but it won't blow your mind.

Rob Who?.......2007-01-30

Can any one please tell me who Rob Zombie is? What kind of Joker? Entertainer? Musician? Artist? is he? and I have a feeling he is an American. or is he from Europe?

horror remixed.......2007-01-04

What can I say? This cd is a perfect combination of Zombie's previous works with more electronic music woven into it.

Super Sexy Music to Swing by!.......2006-10-25

Good remix albums are hard to find.
Granted I'd admit you probably have to enjoy techno and metal to like it,
but that happens to be one of my favorite combinations.
Similar to Super Sexy Swingin Sounds, this is pretty much zombie's songs very professionally remixed for a sound all thier own, much unlike the many rock remixes out there where a drum track is laid on top of an existing song and slapped with the label "remix" to get some extra cash of that "special edition" cd.
This is such a great remix cd, I would reccomend it over the original, Hellbilly Deluxe.

BORING.......2006-02-15

I am yet to understand why this movie is compared to the likes of Platoon. There is no question which of the two is the better one. I was bored out of my mind after an hour. I turned it off and then when I had time to waste, I finished it. I am sorry I did. 2 Hours I will never get back. I know that evertone is different, but if you have not seen this movie and are thinking about viewing it, do so on a Sunday when you have NOTHING else to do. The only highlight was the Drill Instructor. He managed to crack a smile out me on occasion.

Only One Good Track.........2002-10-14

The first one... The rest of the CD is movie instrumentals that are excellent for falling asleep to, but that's about it.

Not for everyone.......2002-02-21

Abigail Mead, the composer of eight songs of this soundtrack, is actually Vivian Kubrick, daughter of Stanley Kubrick.
The disc has 15 tracks:

The first song is a hip-hop/techno mix of the cadences sung by Sgt Hartman in the first part of the movie, it is not a beautiful or good and I don't think it was necessary to include it.

The songs 2 to 7 are songs from the sixties and hear them during the movie creates a "mood" for the movie, for example, the song These Boots Are Made For Walking, by Nancy Sinatra and the scene in Vietnam which a prostitute is walking fits just perfectly and watch the movie without this song would have much less effect. Although they are not complex songs and most of the lyrics are foolish it's worth to have them in the score because they made a good part in the movie.

Song number 8 is the Marine's Hymn, a nice inclusion even thought it's not likely that someone would play this song very often at home.

The rest of the score are the instrumental themes composed by Abigail Mead, some of them are quiet and peaceful like Leonard, and others are more aggressive like Parris Island, with some nice stereo effects.

This is not the best score for a Stanley Kubrick movie and I suggest you to listen to it before you buy or you can have some bad surprises like not listening to Paint it Black, because it was not included or odd songs like Time Suspended. Actually I would suggest this soundtrack for Collectors, Kubrick fans or people with eclectic musical taste.

Boot Camp scenes are hauntingly realistic.......2000-08-04

The best part of this movie is the beginning, when they show what a raw recruit goes through at Boot Camp. It brings back a lot of memories because it was so well done. Lee Ermey just is exactly what a DI is at Paris Island. All the nuances, the lingo, the discipline. The acting is all first rate. Also, the combat portrayals in Hue City showed the type of frustration that vets faced in Vietnam. Snipers were nightmares to deal with. By the time you snuffed 'em out, you lost three or four men. The other movie that, in my opinion is the best war movie ever made, is Hamburger Hill. That movie showed what real grunt life was like in the bush.

Full Metal Jacket.......2000-05-16

Full metal jacket is by far one of the best movies I have ever seen. Although the language is too strong for many people (not for me), it definately puts the point across about the harsh life of Marines during training on the Island. The sniper scene is very well done as well. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman is portrayed by an excellent actor who is able to scream obscenities at his troops without even cracking a smile, I would like to see the bloopers reel from Full Metal Jacket.

The range of artists stepping up to pay tribute to the master electric guitarist as he turns ninety is staggering. From '50s and '60s guitar slingers like Buddy Guy, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Steve Miller to stars of subsequent decades like Billy Gibbons, Joe Perry, Richie Sambora, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, they cross continents and generations. The songs celebrate the Les Paul guitar as well as the man. While he appears throughout, he's part of a generally raucous setting that leaves no volume knob unturned. The guests are often also the vocalists, but it's the guitars that carry the day. Purists may wag their fingers at the use of Sam Cooke's vocals in a contemporary recording, but Les Paul himself was never afraid of what new possibilities a tape recorder could unlock. --David Greenberger

Customer Reviews:

RIpping it up with Les.......2007-06-14

Wow. Les at 90 going after it with Jeff, my favorite guitarist ever? I think "Ain't that Good News" is the best song on the album, but not simply because of Jeff, though I am biased. They do some cool scuttle-buttin' together. Most other tracks, though average to good, are crammed with too many and too much guitar work, making most cuts plain noise-makers. There are some good cuts, but as others have said, who chose these songs? Some aren't even Les-type songs, and the players have no real connection to Les. I agree with others who have voted for Dickey Betts, Jimmy Page and other true Les Pauler's. But, we have what we have and that' all that we have. I would recommend it to other guitarists/blues/rock affecinado's, but think the Les and Mary benefit misses the true nature of what Les was about, although there is a ton of electronic gizmos used on the album-hey, maybe that is what it was about, not what songs they played, but what gizmo's they used. They should have included that in the liner notes. Any way, I will plug once more for Jeff's participation, because I think it is the one song where there aren't 49 guitarists slinging away and you can't tell who is playing what solos or which rhythym chops. Go Jeff Go! As I read the song titles I half expected the players/singers whom we know and love and remember covering them to be on these covers. Guess not, so enjoy what it is, cuz we won't always have old Les to play around with.

Where's Les?.......2007-02-02

Not enough of Les... I've been a fan of his for 40 years. He deserves a better tribute album than this! It would be nice if it were all people who played the guitar with his namesake during their careers also!! The one nice thing was Steve Miller being included. A little history I read years ago is Les taught Steve to play the guitar!! COOL!! If I remember correctly, Steve Miller's father worked at Capitol Records and that's how Steve got connected with Les. Miller being on the album is the only plus for me. I love Les's playing and just don't hear it on this album. Like other's have said, I'd like to hear some of his shows from his gig every Monday night in NYC. You want to really here Les?? Go find some old 78's like I did when I was a teenager!!
Being a guitar player myself I knew who he was when I was a kid. I didn't appreciate him until I was in my 20's and I think he deserves more than this!! He's a national treasure at the very least!!!!!!!

Deserves at least 4 stars.......2006-11-16

For all you folks [reviewers] who were disappointed by this cd: LIGHTEN UP! The album is simply not what you hoped/expected it might be. The presentation as "Les Paul and Friends" was misleading as the music does not focus on the guitar playing of Les in a polite easy going way. Instead what you get is a fresh and well recorded collection of some truly great rock and R&B. Les himself strongly approved of the result of this collaboration. Get this cd and crank it up!

where's Jimmy?.......2006-07-23

What?? A Les Paul tribute without Jimmy Page? You must be joking! If Jimmy were in on the sessions, he would've made sure there was more Les!

One esxpects to hear Les Paul.......2006-07-19

When one purchases a recording with Les Paul's name on it, one expects to hear Les Paul.

Except for one track, Caravan, Les Paul may as well be an indistinguishable background musician.

Shame because Caravan is brilliant. This 90 year old man has not lost his playing ability, and it would have been better off to play songs from his old trio or with Mary Ford, and having a guest vocalist, BUT NO EXTRA GUITAR PLAYERS, or have cd made similar to the recordings he made with Chet Atkins, where one can hear Paul.

The only pleasant surprise is hearing how well Neal Schon (of Journey) can play. Even Peter Frampton, a brillant player who sacrifices his guitar playing for his pop tune, is a dud on this session.

Perhaps any recordings made of Paul's current club dates will show up, as they will better represent him than this does.

Overall, the songs are good and the playing by others is very good, but it is not a Les Paul recording and, given other reviews, has deceived a number of people

Interesting, but not one of the best.......2007-06-08

While it is a good album with new sound influence, it doesn't contain near the diversity and quality of some of Gary's earlier works. I will still continue to buy his future albums though, just to see what he comes up with next, and because I like the man's style.

American Made- Gary Hovie.......2007-05-28

This is the first of many Gary Hovie CD's I bought. Very talented guitarist!

Another great one from Gary.......2007-01-16

To me "Wake Up Call" was Gary's best and a hard one to match. It's still fresh to me but after just a few listens I think "American Made" comes in just behind "Wake Up Call". This is a fairly well rounded "Band Effort" than just a "guitarists solo album". The guitars have a little edge to them. Take Gary's lead work out of the picture and you have some really great rhythm guitar work goin' on. That's were I think Gary shines. Real beefy rythms with a little southern rock attitude thrown in. Good bass and drums backing him up as well. Along with that a couple bluesier numbers and some instrumental work that's okay. The stronger material are the vocal tunes. If you like Gary's previous stuff you should like this one as well.

More Great Gary.......2006-12-04

Well, another great one from Gary Hoey and his talented band members. My favorite tracks are 'The Deep' and "truth' from this CD. Also, on this CD is Gary's nicely done take on 'Lunatic Fring'e with just his three piece band. Oh did I mention how well Gary sounds on this CD. I've seen these guys live and I swear it's a better experience than going to one of those huge venues. Check him out. He tours nationally.

ssienko59.......2006-10-21

gary hoey rocks and this wont let you down, see him live its amazing they are so talented, he does this acoustic set that hopefully he will record too, if you stick around after the show and you will get a chance to meet him he is just a cool guy and down to earth. the group shold get much more attention then they do. all of his cds are very worth getting, i have them all and listen to them all the time. you will not be sorry get them all now, his christmas stuff really kicks too. anybody who plays guitar will get into it right away.

There are dozens of Native American-flute groups out there, but there's no one like Coyote Oldman. That's a group, not a person, named for the Native American mythological figure Oldman Coyote. But these coyotes aren't tricksters; they're sonic magicians. Michael Graham Allen and Barry Stramp play Native American flutes, Incan panpipes, and classical bass flute with melodies that ebb, flow, and morph through each other. Stramp adds electronic effects, creating shadow echoes and subliminal melodies like a pipe organ blowing across an infinite canyon. With their limited range, barely an octave, panpipes and Native American flutes aren't given to virtuoso displays. Coyote Oldman know that, so instead they explore the inner workings of their flutes' textured sound, putting a magnifying glass over resonances and shadings, building an abstract melodic architecture that vaporizes in this deep-space music for acoustic winds. --John Diliberto

Customer Reviews:

Soothing.......2006-11-06

If you are looking for soothing relaxing music this CD is for you.
If you would like more drums and less soothing then do not choose the CD. Play it in your office of classroom for a calming effect.

Refreshing Relaxation.......2004-01-30

I purchased this CD after my massage therapist played it during a session. As a European and Native American flautist, I was moved by the exquisite tones, and how I responded physically (going into a deeply relaxed state, despite an injury) during the session.

The music is wonderfully relaxing, yet refreshing. It seems to envelop and clear one's mind from everyday "chatter". Even my dogs seem to respond to it - if they are overactive or rambunctious, or if my husband has had a difficult day at work, or if I'm stressed, I put on this CD and everyone seems to have a sense of peace and tranquility restored. I frequently leave it playing on "repeat" throughout the day to maintain a feeling of balance, peace, and creative freedom.

Perfect for meditation, yoga/Pilates practice, or if you have difficulty relaxing prior to sleep. A CD I keep by the player at all times (along with Andreas Scholl, but that's another story).

Takes you into the world of Mother Nature.......2003-02-18

Deep into the canyons, I mean. This is truly soul stirring music. Great for Yoga practice. Gives you an opportunity to reflect while practicing. Based on a recommendation by Karen Hugg, I bought this CD and enjoy every bit of it. The flute sounds reach the bottom of the soul (so to say) and awakens it.

Stirs the Soul.......2001-05-31

Hauntingly beautiful with deep rich native flute melodies. The artists are definitely masters at their craft. One of the nice things about this one, is that it keeps basically the same rhythm throughout the tape. So if you are listening in a meditative way, it doesnt change to fast and loud at some point.

This is one of my favorites. It allows us to take a deep breath and slow down,as it works its tranquil magic. Great background music for bodywork and meditation....feels like floating on a cloud!

Lush and soothing.......2000-10-07

I'm no expert on Native American music, but I am a flute player, so I can certainly appreciate the skill evident on this CD. (I found the alto flute difficult enough to maintain breath control on, so the ability to play the bass flute *really* impresses me.)

JALOUSIE/ STAR DUST- Arthur Fiedler & The Boston Pops.......2007-02-22

If you're a classical music lover, you can't go wrong with this great combination of two nostalgic gems, originally recorded on Lp format by Arthur Fiedler, conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra.
"Jalousie" was definitely one of Fiedler's finest works. The album theme "Jalousie" or "Jealousie" based on a tango composed by Gade, is a work of art. I first heard Fiedler's version of this great music master piece watching the old "B.F.Goodrich" musical program on television back during the early 60's and I immediately realized Fiedler's Boston Pops version of this great classic was absolutely the very best I have ever heard. This great album is complemented by other gorgeous classics, like "Il Guarany", "Jamaican Rhumba" "Danze Piemontese" and others. The second album included on this CD "Stardust" is another recorded milestone by Fiedler, "Stardust", "Clair de Lune" and other beautiful classics will simply delight you. Maestro Arthur Fiedler will always be remembered by music fans as Mr.Boston Pops. Fortunately a portion of his musical works with the Pops have been re-issued for us to enjoy and reminisce. I very highly recommend it. Do not miss this one.

OK music.......2006-04-13

This CD is listenable and has some nice music, but has nothing memorable. There is no rousing main theme that I expect from a soundtrack and many of the songs are not particularly good. If you are interested in music from this period, get the soundtracks to "Last of the Mohicans, The Patriot, and A&E's Revolution" (if you can find and afford that last one). Pass on this one.

Worth your time.......2006-01-31

A surprisingly "listenable" and quality work that rises above the documentary/drama series that it was created for.

Third one is a charm.......2002-05-23

It's clear that Mark Nelson's collaboration with Stars of the Lid's Adam Wiltzie on the Aix Em Klemm cd has been influential. Moodier than the debut or "360 Bypass," "River" has a much more ambient feel to it. That's not to say it isn't full of those wonderful Nelson electronic burps and chirps, but the guitar is more subdued and the jazz influence is less prominent. If you're already a Pan American fan, you will buy this anyway; if you're a Labradford fan testing the waters, start with the other two discs, as this is more challenging. If you like SOL, this will be right up your alley. Repeated listenings will reveal it to be as lush and satisfying as his other works, however, and in my opinion, Nelson is the absolute master of whatever you want to call this kind of music.

my favorite twin tone SA album.......2006-06-26

It's a treat when you discover a band has more albums before their major label record deals. After constant rotations to my cd player w/ all 3 of their Columbia albums, I searched amazon.com to see if there would maybe be a new album coming out. At the time, I came across a plethora of albums from their twin tone and a&m days. My first noncolumbia album was Made to Be Broken which I found used at a record store. I now own every album and will soon get Silver Lining this year!

MTBB starts w/ the only track on their greatest hits album "Tied to the Tracks." In my opinion it isn't the best on this album, but still has a great uptempo beat to it w/ that classic Dave scream.

"Ship of Fools" could be a ballad if slowed down, but I don't think the boys were quite ready for that, so instead they create an equally great tune w/ the message of the album I think "brokeness." I think the meaning is that the ship of fools is all the girls guys try to pursue that turn out to be just another mistake.

While "Can't Go Back," is a song about not going back through time, so you eventually will just waste time. It's just a great lesson about how time effects ones life w/ past experiences played by a great tune.

I think "Another World, Another Day" is basically the introduction to the rest of the album as it leads in hypnotic 2 minute festival of rock.

The title track has a quarky country upbeat aura to it which displays an almost rebellious side to Dave w/ the lyrics. "The rules were made to broken" chorus might attribute to that theory.

A good storytelling song that Dave perfects is in "Never Really Been." More or less telling us that what the future might be, if there was ambition.

"Whoa" is really just a nice scream fest saying well...um whoaaa

I'd say the closest song to the new sound later to follow soul asylum is "New Feelings" it sort of leaves that punk/raw feel, and just is a plain out rock song. Kinda short though.

I'm not sure what "Growing Pain" is really saying. Perhaps Dave is angry about something and needs to let out his frustration.

My favorite tune is "Long Way Home." Although rather a short list of lyrics, they are very meaningful. You get so far with something and realize it wasn't worth the time in the first place to do it, so then you have to go back home and start somewhere new.

Another 2 minute punk fest lies in "Lone Rider." More lyrics than "Whoa," and not as extreme, but rocks out.

The longest song, yes folks at 3min and 34 seconds is "Ain't That Tough" which has a great guitar beat, and good lyrics as well. Not as edgy or rough.

I'd put "Don't It (MYTSS)" before "Aint' That Tough" for the last song, but honestly this might seem out of place for this album, but nonetheless it still isn't bad.

Most devout fans should pick up this album, and most fans of the Columbia days should not, unless you do want to explore their roots such as I. What makes MTBB so great is that there is isn't just punk or just rock or just ballads. In fact there is a little bit of everything. There isn't exactly a "Runaway Train" type song on here seeing how most are under 3minutes and the album just being over 30 minutes or so. What's good is that you can put it on repeat and never get too extremely bored b/c each song is uniquely different. If you can get by some of Dave's screaming and catch all the lyrics some are simply mindblowing yet simple. A great album for 1986.

Rough 'n' rowdy...but is it ready?.......2004-04-10

By all definitions, Made to Be Broken is an indie album. It's short, it's loud, and sounds like it was recorded in a basement or garage.

But according to the band, Bob Mould was a valuable mentor to Soul Asylum while recording their first two albums, even if they did end up sounding like Husker Du. Soul Asylum was essentially a live act that tried to put their sound down onto tape. And even with Bob's studio experience, you just can't put a round peg in a square hole.

A majority of the songs are good, including Can't Go Back, Tied to the Tracks, and Whoah! But New Feelings and Lone Rider have only their attitude to stand on, and they almost don't hold up. Most of the guitar riffs border on overachievement and David Pirner is singing as if the world is coming to an end tomorrow and he won't have to worry about his vocal chords then.

So all things considered, Made to Be Broken's swaggering big sheet of noise is just one tiny step above Say What You Will, but a few notches short of While You Were Out and Hang Time. Only then would Soul Asylum learn how to work in a studio.

That stuff is hard.......2004-02-08

I just remember an article in Spin where they talked about a show during the Grave Dancers union tour when a fan made a screaming request for "tied to the tracks." All Dan said (as they instead began another of the weak poppy songs of their later period) was "that stuff is hard."

I was in a band in the mid to late 80's and I could barely focus on playing anything other than songs from MTBB and Hang time. These were unique albums in a way that the derivative post grave dancers' stuff cold never be.

And live they were even better!

R Williams from SF, CA has got it perfect...the decline of SA wasn't overnight and there were moments in each of the later albums (I tried for a long time to let them grow on me but couldn't get past the sugary sweet bit).

This one is from a time when they mattered!

classic album.......2002-12-27

I see no negative reviews left here (they must have been removed), and that is exactly as it should be. If you weren't lucky enough to see Soul Asylum before the post-Hang Time descent, you can still get a flavor for the fun, clever, energetic and thoughtful composition packed into every song if you listen to this album.
Later fans may have trouble with older SA albums such as this, but this and While You Were Out capture a special time in Minneapolis and indie music that "college music"-oriented fans would no doubt appreciate. These are must-haves for any broad-range music collection.
Also, as a very enthusiastic fan of older SA, I find some redeeming aspects to ...And the Horse they Rode in On (some songs vaguely reminiscent of the 2 albums mentioned here) and even a few songs on Grave Dancer's Union, but after that, forget it. It was a slow, but steady descent, but MTBB is raw, fun, young, and inspiring.

The "Critic's Review" is WAY OFF!.......2000-06-17

This whole album captures the blazing spirit of youthful energy Soul Asylum radiated like crazy during the mid-80's. Husker Du was the spearhead of a movement to inject overwhelming, unpretentious soul and emotion into melodic pop. It's bands like Husker Du and early Soul Asylum that made bands like Nirvana possible, both musically in terms of outright influence and economically in terms of creating a fan base for the marketing people to capitalize on.

Mould and Pirner may have been the original screaming but melodic pop punk frontmen, precursors to Cobaine. This album captures that totally, with sometimes mindblowing songwriting such as in "Tied to the Tracks" and "You Can't Go Back".
