Artist: Mark Knopfler - (Audio CD) - 2002 ... more
I am often disappointed by the steady stream of throw-away tripe that passes for music, so I usually stick with productions I know and enjoy. That having been said, I can report that for a discriminating listener The Rag Picker's Dream is so... read full review | report as inappropriate
Mark Knopfler is so boring both in Dire Straits and as as well as a solo artist.He only made a single decent song in Sultans of swing.To the reviewer named For whom the bells toll a.k.a Whirligig,your opinion on great bands like LED ZEPPELIN,PINK... read full review | report as inappropriate
Mark Knopfler is a gem and remains one of the most enduring icons of real talent in a world of fleeting mediocrity. This CD is as solid as ever, is beautifully mastered, and easy to listen to. But, it takes no risks, shows none of the searing... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Dream Theater - (Audio CD) - 2003 ... more
My title says it all. I didn't like Falling or Metro Pt II. Six Degrees was awesome. This disc is a cross between Six and Awake. Masterful! And the fact that they wrote it and recorded it in like five minutes says... read full review | report as inappropriate
I've been a fan since '89 when nobody knew they existed and it pains me to say that TOT is just short of an absolute flop. I wanted to like it and listened several times hoping it would get better but it never happened. This album has no life, no... read full review | report as inappropriate
This album isn't horrible. It's clear that DT wanted to create a more thrashy, heavier, sound on this release. However, I thought the first track was painfully awful, and it took me some time to recover before I could start digesting the... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: The Ventures - (Audio CD) - 2001 ... more
The Ventures are the exception to the rule in the catagory of releasing modern recordings from old material. On "Play The Greatest Surfin' Hits Of All Time" the engery is sustained from beginning to end with clean sound and no distortion.... read full review | report as inappropriate
Good stuff, but these are from 1990's sessions, not the original recordings of these tunes. These lack the energy (and distortion) of the originals. It's the 5,000th time they've played these songs, so the differences are significant. If you were... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Duane Eddy - (Audio CD) - 1993 ... more

Artist: John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess - (Audio CD) - 2004 ... more
I really love listening to individuals as these guys who have such a versatile ability to play the Dream Theater prog rock and go to do this disc live. These two guys really complement each other which makes the transfer of music sound so smooth.... read full review | report as inappropriate
I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH MCOFC.THIS WILL ALMOST PUT YOU TO SLEEP,ON THE OTHER HAND I DO AGREE WITH PAUL THARP,ITS JAZZY & ROCKIN AT DIFFERENT TIMES.I LOVE THIS KINDA STUFF.WISH THEY WOULD PUT MORE OUT LIKE,"TURN THE WHEEL"..PROG ON!!!! read full review | report as inappropriate
One cannot question the skill of these two muscians,they are extraordinary.I being a big fan of Dream Theatre was expecting something with a little more kick.Instead of writing a lengthy review i just want to warn buyers if you get this cd... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Dick Dale & the Del-Tones - (Audio CD) - 1989 ... more
This is a shining example of classic surf guitar. The songs composed by Dale are great, but I enjoyed the covers much more. I was surprised to find a cover of Hava Nagila and I loved the fast paced rendition of (Ghost) Riders in the Sky. Pipeline... read full review | report as inappropriate
Don't think Dale can play a song the same way twice. Didn't like the selection of songs nor the way they produced. J read full review | report as inappropriate
Dick Dale was left-handed, yet didn't reverse the strings on his guitar. His technique is most accurately described as electrified mandolin that was augmented in 1962 with a portable Fender reverb unit. He is widely considered the father of surf... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Steve Vai - (Audio CD) - 2003 ... more
Vai rips like no other player. His presents his licks in such a spellbinding combination of spacey, mindbending fluidity combined with a prolific frenzy when you least expect it. Anthology is a large work that takes time to digest,... read full review | report as inappropriate
I think Steve wants us all to take him seriously as an experimental guitarist. This CD is GREAT if you want to hear the full gammet of his ability. However, if you are looking for flat out crank the volume axe shredding chaos, this isn't the CD.... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: David Lindley - (Audio CD) - 1990 ... more
This CD is just plain fun to listen to. The music is up tempo and features a reggae type beat. However, it is not repetitive as are song CDs in that genre. David Lindley is a very talented musician and this is some of his best work. read full review | report as inappropriate
I've listened to this album for the first 2-3 times just recently. I got to Lindley via his work with Warren Zevon & Jackson Browne. I already have two of his more recent discs, "Live in Tokyo" and "Twango Bango Deluxe". Both are independently... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Carl Perkins - (Audio CD) - 1990 ... more
"Carl Perkins Original Sun Greatest Hits," (Rhino, 1990) is a good compilation of the man's early hits on Sam Phillips's 1950's Memphis-headquartered Sun label, when the awesome talent - think Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and... read full review | report as inappropriate
Carl Perkins was a Hillbilly that did some of the first "rock-a-billy" music. This cd is his best. Carl was one of the SUN RECORD originals and songs like "Matchbox", "Dixie Fried", Your True Love" and "Honey Don't" show how great his talents... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: The Trashmen - (Audio CD) - 1995 ... more
Originally released in 1964, looks to be the surf rock band's very first album. I've heard of the Trashmen plenty of times over the last umteen years but this was the first CD of theirs I got to check out for myself. They've obviously influenced... read full review | report as inappropriate
