Customer Reviews:

A GRAND, GRAND CD..........2005-05-07

I have long been a devotee of the music of Malcolm Arnold. More than that, Vernon Handley is one of the most underestimated conductors alive today. What a great pleasure for me then to find that my library's network had a copy of this delightful CD.

While I will swear to my dying day by Andrew Penny's recordinings of Arnold's symphonies and dances (on Naxos), one could not ask for a better outing than this disc. There are some fun pieces here: A Grand, Grand Overture, the Carnival of Animals, and (in my opinion--the most fun) The Concerto for 2 Pianos (3 hands). To that add a very good reading of the second symphony and you have a very, very interesting and engaging CD.

Malcolm Arnold is the perfect musical expression of the great revolution of the Twentieth Century: Britain and its culture begin triumphant and then the whole world and all its influences crash in--making life somehow both broader and smaller--but certainly more interesting.

In the vast sweep of time, this fascinating man's name is destined to be whispered in relation to his only equals in the last century: Mahler and Vaughan Williams.

If you want a great place to start exploring this truly great composer, this disc, and the disc of Dances conducted by Andrew Penny are two very worthwhile places to start.

I give this CD my full recommendation.

Happy Listening!

Album Description

This is SEeKing Dawn's first release. Using very little resources they managed to record this grand CD in their basement on a computer. Stormy Seas is a melodic, moody snapshot in time displaying the band's talents.

Customer Reviews:

Great disc.......2004-02-20

This disc, being their first, is really great for a student band... Their new demo disc has a great new single, and I look forward to seeing their next release -- their style has really matured.

They've Improved........2004-02-20

I go to school with Andrew, and let me say their new stuff is by far, a huge step up from this current disc. While it's good, their new single, and the new stuff on their demo is amazing.

Great disc, if only there were a few more tracks :)

Just nothing else quite like it....?.......2001-07-25

This Cd is made with many words of wisdom? No It is by far the most intelligent album out there for a band who is just starting. You get this CD cuz when their rich? youll have it. I have the CD and I listen to it all the time. Its a great album for everyone. It ROCKS. GET IT! But maybe the band should have been called.....The Patriots??...

Just an Idea, keep makin albums guys!

Friggin Sweet.......2001-07-20

I heard this CD a while ago at my best friends house and borrowed it for like a month because it was so sweet. No two ways around it, this is the best stuff ever.

Something Different!.......2000-02-21

The album is terrific. These guys recorded it in their basement from what I've heard. I am a musician and have done much recording myself, but I'd never be able to tell this wasn't done in a pro studio! The songs show a nice variety. Everything from space rock to a little swing. I've had the privilage of seeing SEekingDawn live and they put on a great show. All I can say is to imagine Pink Floyd meets Nirvana with the kookiness of Queen! Keep on rockin'!
