Spiritual Spiritual
June 24, 2008
Dramatic flamenco guitar, ambient synthesizer tonalities, and moody, wordless vocals evoke a windswept plain, or the ocean at dusk. It’s music as mood. Mood as music. It’s the aural atmospher that will soon be providing the soundtrack to your life. It is B-Tribe.
Customer Review: Lives up to it’s title “Spiritual, Spiritual”
I’ve been a huge fan of B-Tribe ever since their first album “Fiesta Fatal” and although “Spiritual, Spiritual” is a departure from their previous work, it’s absolutely beautiful. The pace is slower, yet it moves with the grace of angels wings and it’s warmth is that of candlelight. I’ve had this cd for several years now and I never tire of listening to it. “Sketches of St. Antoni” brings visions of a cathedral lit by candlelight as doves fly past in a flutter of wings and “Matador De Sa Pena” captures the graceful moves of a matador and bull in the ring. I couldn’t be more pleased with this cd and I would recommend this to long time B-Tribe fans and newcomers as well.
Customer Review: Breathtaking
This is the second album I own from B-Tribe. From start to finish it revives my tired soul, takes me to places in my mind that I’ve never been to before. You will never be the same after you experience this music…”She Moves through the Fair” is my favorite track off this CD. It moves my soul!!! Buy from here…

A State of Trance 2007
June 24, 2008
Van Buuren is one of the biggest names in dance music and the current #3 DJ in the world (as voted by a DJ Mag poll). He continually pushes the bar with fresh trance sounds. This is the next chapter in his annual mix album series; a two-disc continuous mix of this year’s hottest trance tunes from a stellar lineup. Alongside Armin’s superior mixing skills, “A State Of Trance” is an inspiring and uplifting aural experience.
Customer Review: it’s like good sex for your ears
Excellent CD, I own ASOT 04,05,06 and this one is my favorite so far. Is just great track after great track. I would have to agree with some other reviews, that the first CD (listening to Emma Hewitt is a blessing, and “Together we rise” makes you truly want to rise as well) is better than the second one, but the first one alone is totally worth the price; the second one is not as good but I liked it too, some great tunes like “ascent” and “the space we are”. If you like trance music you will certainly love this one, is like good sex to your ears, complete satisfaction.
Buy it and Enjoy it.
Customer Review: so you like vocal trance?
A state of trance 2007 has a lot more vocals than past years. If that is not your thing, then I would pass.
This years mix is also a bit softer than past years and I find myself listening to the 2005-2006 albums far more often. There really aren’t any memorable tracks that I want to listen to again and again. Buy from here…

Bjork - Live at Shepherd’s Bush Empire
June 21, 2008
Customer Review: The best Bjork DVD out there
Bjork is my life. I have all 5,000 (or however many) of her DVD releases and this one is the best. This one starts out deep and gets more uptempo as the show goes on. This show represents her dance-oriented electronic music which is what earned her the title ‘Queen of Dance Music’.
Customer Review: Interesting
I have 3 other DVD’s of Bjork - Volumen, Greatest hits and Cambridge. These are absolutely brilliant. I was dissapointed with Shepherds Bush. My reasons are:
1 The engineering of the sound is poor. Often I struggled to hear her voice over the instruments.
2 The choice of instruments - even though bold and daring did not pull it off in my opinion. I much prefer the previous arrangements of these songs. Mind you the use of the piano accordion was very novel.
Despite these negatives I still enjoyed this DVD. Had I not purchased the other Bjork DVD’s I probably would have given this DVD a rating of 4.
The 3 Bjork DVD’s I own are truly special and perfect in every sense. Buy from here…

Sula (Oprah’s Book Club)
June 18, 2008
Toni Morrison’s first novel, The Bluest Eye (1970), was acclaimed as the work of an important talent, written–as John Leonard said in The New York Times–in a prose “so precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry.”
Her new novel has the same power, the same beauty.
At its center–a friendship between two women, a friendship whose intensity first sustains, then injures. Sula and Nel–both black, both smart, both poor, raised in a small Ohio town–meet when they are twelve, wishbone thin and dreaming of princes.
Through their girlhood years they share everything–perceptions, judgments, yearnings, secrets, even crime–until Sula gets out, out of the Bottom, the hilltop neighborhood where beneath the sporting life of the men hanging around the place in headrags and soft felt hats there hides a fierce resentment at failed crops, lost jobs, thieving insurance men, bug-ridden flour…at the invisible line that cannot be overstepped.
Sula leaps it and roams the cities of America for ten years. Then she returns to the town, to her friend. But Nel is a wife now, settled with her man and her three children. She belongs. She accommodates to the Bottom, where you avoid the hand of God by getting in it, by staying upright, helping out at church suppers, asking after folks–where you deal with evil by surviving it.
Not Sula. As willing to feel pain as to give pain, she can never accommodate. Nel can’t understand her any more, and the others never did. Sula scares them. Mention her now, and they recall that she put her grandma in an old folks’ home (the old lady who let a train take her leg for the insurance)…that a child drowned in the river years ago…that there was a plague of robins when she first returned…
In clear, dark, resonant language, Toni Morrison brilliantly evokes not only a bond between two lives, but the harsh, loveless, ultimately mad world in which that bond is destroyed, the world of the Bottom and its people, through forty years, up to the time of their bewildered realization that even more than they feared Sula, their pariah, they needed her.
Customer Review: Powerful
Wow. I read this story for a Womens Writers Literature class in college, and it was one of the most powerful stories I’ve read. The imagery she uses throughout the story really sticks with you…and it leaves you feeling almost empty. You actually feel the pain and suffering. I recommend it to everyone.
Customer Review: Fine work from a Nobel laureate
This novel tells the story of two life-long friends. Sula comes from a line of independent women and grows up to have contempt for the small-town morality of the Bottom, where she grew up, as well as an abiding hostility toward her mother and grandmother. Nell embraces the life of the community and tries to pursue a conventional life as wife and mother. In their future awaits an act of betrayal that will force them to reevaluate each other and their own lives. Toni Morrison’s beautiful prose brings to life the community of the Bottom. Buy from here…
Anna Karenina (Oprah’s Book Club)
June 18, 2008
Anna Karenina tells of the doomed love affair between the sensuous and rebellious Anna and the dashing officer, Count Vronsky. Tragedy unfolds as Anna rejects her passionless marriage and must endure the hypocrisies of society. Set against a vast and richly textured canvas of nineteenth-century Russia, the novel’s seven major characters create a dynamic imbalance, playing out the contrasts of city and country life and all the variations on love and family happiness. While previous versions have softened the robust, and sometimes shocking, quality of Tolstoy’s writing, Pevear and Volokhonsky have produced a translation true to his powerful voice. This award-winning team’s authoritative edition also includes an illuminating introduction and explanatory notes. Beautiful, vigorous, and eminently readable, this Anna Karenina will be the definitive text for generations to come.
Customer Review: A Masterpiece that is worth the effort
This new translation of Anna Karenina is amazing! I have tried to read the other versions twice but found it difficult. I am thrilled about this new translation. Don’t let the 800 pages daunt you. Tolstoy is a master of understanding human emotions and psychology. He portrays these characters so vividly, with such nuances that one is wrapped up in the story. A sensitive, refined person will appreciate this book and the story will leave an deep impression of Russia in Tolstoy’s day.
Customer Review: Couldn’t put it down
Anna Karenina is a masterpiece! Tolstoy’s writing style is unlike modern novels; rich in detail without being overly wordy. Amazingly while reading I felt as though I was a fly on the wall in the Russia he recreates- observing the characters and plot nearly as a participant. Tolstoy’s character descriptions jump off the page, making the plot seem like the reader’s reality.
Although the story is somewhat somber and the plot is fatalistic, it is a clear view into the social and moral obligations of the late 19th century. When protagonist, Anna Karenina decides to leave her husband Alexi Alexandrovich for another man and a new life, we are introduced to the unequal struggle men and women faced in law and society after being unfaithful. Although the theme is strong throughout we are not tied down to that single plot, we are also swept along in parallel stories of class struggles, political pressure and even the day to day tasks of local farmers.
Very enjoyable novel, I would even read it again! Buy from here…
