Customer Review: 2 1/2 This excessively sustained study in subtle flux is an acquired taste if there ever was one, especially considering the perseverance needed to take it in all at once as suggested. Anyone not admitting audio fatigue after one complete sitting is either lying, a highly trained monk, or on... more info
Customer Review: All too often, an established and well-respected artist or group will have incredible success owing to consistency and sheer quality, only not to know when the wheels have come disastrously off. Such is the case with this album. David Byrne. Brian Eno. You put those names together and the thought of... more info
Customer Review: Philip Glass and librettist Christopher Hampton have adapted J. M. Coetzee's parable about power and inhumanity in an opera that staggers in both dramatic power and beauty. The story is set in a town on the fringes of a nameless Empire that is in the process of expanding over the lands of wandering... more info
Customer Review: I've been a hardcore fan of Neil Young since about 1967, and always look for live, acoustic performances of his.

Customer Review: I'm seeing Dear Science on a lot of "best of 2008" lists. This status is well-deserved. Like the best of creative musicians, this talented group has made music that is both challenging and listenable, retaining key elements of their complex sound from an earlier, break-out cd, Return To Cookie... more info
Customer Review: What a talent for so many years - she continues to grow and expand her many talents -try to buy all her CD's you won't be dissapointed.
Customer Review: Love this package. Worth every penny. I bought the 1CD version at an airport en route to Tokyo and loved it so much that I bought the 2CD version once I got there. That was already a whole new dimension (because some of the songs make their appearance in vastly different or alternate takes). On that... more info
