Isn't It LovelyReviewer ID:
Review Date: 2007-02-18
Classic Albums: Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life, is a well-conjured 1997 documentary, which was recently televised on the VH1 Classic channel that reflects what made this Motown classic into a worldwide smash record, and how diverse the songs were all thought of. The documentary highlights Stevie, Motown founder Berry Gordy, and all the musicians who were a part of this landmark 1976 record, including keyboardist Herbie Hancock. The documentary also includes Stevie and company re-recording classic tracks including I Wish, Isn't She Lovely, Past-time Paradise and how it was later sampled by Coolio for his #1 smash Gangsta's Paradise. The show was remastered very well, and brings out a real feeling of classic Soul music. The feeling is great and the music is just as lively as it was released years ago.
All in all, Classic Albums, the documentary series from BBC has made a great number of documentaries reflecting some of the best music in the industry, and reflecting on Stevie Wonder's Songs In The Key Of Life is absolutely no acception. I definitely recommend this documentary for any Stevie Wonder fan or any Motown fan, or for those who really have missed a great era of classic music. I loved watching this documentary on VH1 Classic, and if you haven't seen it yet, you really don't know what great records like this one are made of, otherwise it is just a past-time mistake.

This album is amazing. Face the facts, Kids.Reviewer ID:
Review Date: 2007-11-22
Brandon's vocals and harmonies are laced with the most-awesome, comforting qualities I've yet to hear in other rock bands. I find that they are a true Rock or Metal band. No one comes close.
Sure Coldplay, old Maroon 5 and Evanescence are decent but they don't come close. Well, maybe Maroon 5 does back in their prime in 2002 with Songs About Jane but that's it.
I love all of the songs.
My favorites however, in order are:
Made For TV Movie (one of their very best. Sexy to a tee)
Here In My Room (has ALWAYS been a fav of mine. Love the slowed-down, soothing and lulling effect...)
Talk Shows On Mute (Very truthful)
Megalomaniac (heavier than expected. Love the f-bombs. \m/
A Crow Left of the Murder (I love his sexy vocals. Can't get enough of obsessing over it)
Smile Lines (Great in spades.)
4.5 stars.

Incubus changes again, big surpriseReviewer ID:
Review Date: 2005-03-06
With this release Incubus has matured even more than they let on in Morning View. You really wouldn't guess it with songs like Smile Lines and Leech though. Those two songs strike me as classic Incubus (though I realize I might be the only one that thinks that). Songs like Beware! Criminal, Agoraphobia, Zee Deveel, and Talk Shows On Mute strike me as different to Incubus' style. These songs lyrically are extremely strong but when first listening to them they seem stale, like they shouldn't be included on this CD. But over time I am willing to guarantee that at least one of the aformentioned songs will be one of your favorites. Every song on here has something special about it, Sick Sad Little World being the odvious stand-out with it's tremendous guitar solo. Not enough good things can be said about Mike's guitar work, it is incredible on this CD, though it doesn't seem to be getting the response I would think it should be getting. He experiments more with his pedals and style of playing more on this release than Morning View and even Make Yourself. You can tell this by listening to the solos on Sick Sad Little World and Priceless in particular. Brandon also kicks it up a notch and delivers vocally his best offering so far, and he uses his voice well too. As always Kilmore's turntables create an atmosphere to the music while never really busting out. Jose is at the top of his game on this release too, he seems to deviate from his treaded path and tries something new with this CD. And the new addition, Ben Kenney, fits in very nicely with the crew. While the bass isn't as prominent as it once was, it is very good nonetheless.
The DVD side is, much to my surprise edited, at least the one I got was. But other than that it's very entertaining with it's four live performances--Pistola, Megalomaniac, A Crow Left Of The Murder, and Talk Shows On Mute. The While We Were Out featurette is very funny as is with all Incubus behind the scenes footage though. I particularly liked the part where Jose talks about his new car, histerically funny. And of course Brandon's Injury. This is the part that is edited, which bugs me because I love hearing the way Brandon curses here. Also, if you have surround sound speakers wired to your DVD player than you are in for a treat, the CD sounds phenominal.
A couple of my favorite songs on here are Megalomaniac, Beware! Criminal, Zee Deveel, and Made For TV Movie. Anybody who truly appreciates Incubus' music will definitely seek refuge in this CD. It's got a bit of everything in it, so enjoy.
Enjoy Incubus!Reviewer ID:

Well anyway, thats my same review from last February, (yep, in 2004). Why did I simply just copy paste it? Because this cd is the same damn thing as that version! Even the other side of the dual disc the same. I wouldent reccomend buying it twice, even if you are a hardcore fan of the band. For those who havent purchased it yet, though, then be my guest. Great album.

Freestyle Fusion FireworksReviewer ID:
Review Date: 2009-03-07
The CD took the original 98:45 and expanded it to 142:24 with Recollections (a reworking of In a Silent Way), Trevere, The Little Bull Frog and Yaplet.
Though oftentimes dismissed as being filler, the textures of each soundscape from the original album are extraordinary, as the additional four numbers bolster the peek into the oftentimes freestyle approach of taking a concept and jamming to fusion fireworks.
Davis was moving swiftly and paving a trail that he dared others to follow. The pace in the chase has yet to slow down.
Ambient Meditative Formless Art By a True MasterReviewer ID:
Review Date: 2007-10-04
Where could Jazz go, in the late 60s? It had transcended form with Free Jazz. Miles knew where it should go. Joe Zawinul knew. Take the heavy electric instrumentation and fuse it with world-class percussion and keep it free from form.
If you listen to Great Expectations and many other cuts on Big Fun, they are largely meditative, and ambient in nature. Sure, there are visitations and re-visitations to the form of melody of Miles' trumpet entering and leaving at times, but overall the sonic landscape resembles more of a living entity--an organic ocean of sound. Waves pass over the listener and if you don't float on this peaceful and funky soup of sound, you'll drown.
The search for a song-form or a repetitive verse chorus aaba song-form with which to hold onto, is something that most listeners take for granted. If you don't have the teat of the rigid form to suck on, then you'll cry and put the music down, which is what critics did back when Miles moved beyond jazz, really. Miles recognized himself first and foremost as an artist and musician--not as simply a Jazz trumpet player, or even a great band-leader, although he was those things. Those who would shortly criticize him for leaving behind his bread-and-butter, were mad because he didn't let them suck on the teat of tried-and-true form.
But Miles was an artist who destroyed the last form of the medium by switching instrumentations and letting-in the age-old perfection of space. He was always a master of space. This album is as much a Miles-stone as Kind Of Blue, and In A Silent Way. It is potentially a deeply spiritual experience to hear this album and it is very personal.
Music and artistry transcending the bounds of time and space as only the great Master could achieve it. Listen to it! You can hear yourself inside it, and in doing so, you can move on from demands that that the music take forms.
In allowing the music to simply BE, you can free yourself. Let yourself go, and become empowered by this beautiful album of sound.
Miles Ahead...Reviewer ID:
Review Date: 2007-03-14
No one explored and pushed the music forward, in contemporary terms, more the Sir Miles. This is probably one of the best records of the so called "electric" period before he went on hiatus for 5 years. Stand out tracks is the beautiful "Lonely Fire" a deep probing track that is almost trance like and "Go Ahead John", which is sonically unique and a great example of what can be produced by free artistic expression.
Miles was also on the forefront of album cover artistry, being one of the first artists to demand to have black images on his records sleeves, which was unheard of up until the mid-60s. The Big Fun LP cover is one of my favorites, for obvious reasons.

No, that cover's not suggestive at all! *COUGH*Reviewer ID:
Review Date: 2007-07-08
The record starts off with Joe Zawinul's best song (at least his best song with Miles), Great Expectations. Recorded shortly after Bitches Brew, it's a two-part suite, the second half being the Weather Report classic Orange Lady. It's arguably the best song on the album: twenty-seven minutes, and I don't want it any shorter. I especially like the Indian instrumentation.
Next up is the slow, spacey, funky Ife, an outtake from the On the Corner sessions. I really wish Miles had decided to include it on that album, as it could have saved it from being a total disaster. Recollections (again coming from the period just after the Bitches Brew sessions) is next up, a moody Zawinul classic. This, along with three other songs (I'll get to those), can only be found on the CD version of Big Fun. It's a collector's item, but it's also a very good piece of music. Trevere (yet another Brew-era outtake, and again previously unreleased) follows this, and really it's the album's only bad point. I hate the stupid haunted-house organ.
Then it's back to the good stuff. Go Ahead John (the lone outtake from the Jack Johnson sessions found on this LP) is my other favorite here. It's like Hendrix, if Hendrix had collaborated with Miles (and he probably would have, had he lived longer - the two were friends, of course). Lots of heavy guitar on that song. I've heard it's supposed to be an embryonic take of Right Off, but I disagree: it doesn't have the dated-sounding organ that ruins the otherwise stellar composition, and there's no uncredited Sly Stone borrowings. One fine song!
Lonely Fire (once again coming from the post-Bitches Brew sessions) is another. One of Miles' signature pensive, haunting ballads; it reminds me of Brew's Sanctuary, only it's so much better.
The Little Blue Frog is from the same sessions as Lonely Fire and most the rest; a good funk-rocker, though it drifts a bit.
Yephet makes for still another standout performance; a ten-minute moody Indian funk song. Very good!
Oh, and the liner notes are worthwhile - very informative, good Bennie Maupin essay, and great photos! So listen closely, and have big fun.

I'm not guaranteeing you'll like every cut on the CD; there are one or two that I find a bit tedious. You may not love every track... but even my less favorite tracks are still salient in that they contribute to the full-round picture of the capabilities of Hammond consoles and artists.
If you have a jazz fan or any keyboardist in your circle of friends, this would be a great gift.

Review Date: 2002-01-25
For those of you who love the sound and feel of the B3, you must have this CD. For players, the same. For those curious about what all the fuss is about, you won't go wrong in adding this to your collection. For B3 sophisticates and snobs .............. well there is no hope for you anyway, so you may as well buy it too just to give you something to denigrate (no offense folks :)
The lowdown on this CD = it rules! Every selection, regardless of the gernre', is a classic example of the best that can be extracted from this instrument.
For those who have not actually played this instrument, consider this: it is a massive structure made of wood and wire. It smells of oil. When you sit and play it, it rumbles. You get the feeling that it is alive (organic?). It takes you over. It can require the use of both hands, both feet, and your knee (for the leslie switch). It is unlike any other instrument on the planet.
There is plenty on this CD for anyone to love and hate, but it all has this underlying secret: B3 players in their prime are passionate. They can rock you like no other medium.
Critisms? Okay, there are no tracks by Keith Emerson, nor Barbara Denerlein or a number of other premier players. There is a goodly representation of cajun-style organ, perhaps to the detriment of others that could have been represented. But this by no means detracts from the range presented, from the sublime to the demented, from the beautiful to the possessed, it's all here, masters at their best.
Don't listen to these tracks once. Play them a few times before you add it to the rack. If you do, I'd be willing to bet that this will become a staple of your discography.

BACKYARD BAR-B-Q JAZZ AT IT'S BEST WITH THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL!!!Reviewer ID:
Review Date: 2009-03-14
Big John Patton, Mickey Tucker, and John logan. How about this for Frontmen: guitarist; Jimmy Ponder, saxophonist; Willis Jackson, and saxophonist; Houston Person!!! Want more???...., o.k., how about these Sidemen (Sidekicks): Idris Muhammad, Grady Tate, and others.
Be forwarned the track "Walking The Dog" by Jack McDuff appears on another Compact Disc entitled: "Jazz That Swings II", but it works equally as well on this project too!, so you'll live through this repeat. Where this disc open with an Excerpt of "Shipping Out" by Houston Person that clocks in at 2:55 (Two Minutes and Fifty-Five Seconds) WHY???, when there is a 11:00+ (Eleven Minutes, Plus) version on his 'Original' album!!! Maybe (Just maybe) because this track strats with a saxophone solo for about 4:00 (Four Minutes), but the long version could have been the last track, so there is no excuse putting this short (Excerpt) version found on this release.
Now understand this...THIS IS INDEED AN OVERALL HAMMOND B-3 ORGAN PROJECT!!! This is the music you'd hear at somebody's Bar-B-Q Party, as in Beef, Chicken, Pork And Hot Dogs, along with Beer & Hard Liquor, Oh! and let's not forget the Dominoes & Card Games...Kickin' the dog, and chasin' the kids! For an Extra Dose of Greasy Delight you might want to add the companion Compact Disc that was released 2 (Two) years later in 1999 entitled "Party Jazz"...Then all you'll need to do is have a Backyard Bar-B-Q Party :)
