Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Fusion
by: George Benson

June 09, 2008
I once had Bensons'Greatest Hits and listened to the album over and over again..Then I gave it to a man I loved, cause he loved him aswell.
That love is gone now, but my love for Mr.Benson is as srong as ever.
This cd holds all the songs I've once had,eccept one(Living inside your love)That's fair enough.
Beautiful,don't hesitate to buy it if you want a complete album!

Floating Point

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Fusion
by: John McLaughlin

June 30, 2008
This album does take some getting used to. And you do have to take some space from it and go back again with fresh ears before you are able to sort out what's new. The Meeting of the Minds - The Making of Floating Point [2008] DVD, which is awesome, helped clinch the album for me. The first thing you have to deal with is the overwhelming drums and percussion throughout. At first you can't help but think that this is some kind of mistake in the mixing, but persist and you can get used to it. It's a deliberate decision that ensures that the whole album operates at a very high energy level. John's albums have always been about joy and ecstasy and seldom on the mellow side of those values. The album is meant to be rhythmically overwhelming, ... Read More:

Multi-Dimensional Warrior

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Fusion
by: Santana

September 29, 2008
This is Santana of emense,cross sectional,swathe across a timeless barrier of a music making Warrior.Disc One are all vocal tracks that some have been re-mixed and Disc Two are all intrumental tracks, which some have been remixed. Santana here have offered up some of their best known to least known tracks, which makes a refreshing change to *Best of, or greatest hits*
Seaming together a timless fabulous sound which takes into the world of the love of real music.
True fans, may argue that this album was a lost oppertunity to go further and acually re-mix all the tracks into an amazing, glourious testamant of change. But what i believe fans are searching for, is more of that haunting, spine-tingling, beautiful little guitar rifts, worked ... Read More:

Bitches Brew

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Fusion
by: Miles Davis

July 12, 1999
The question isn't whether this is a weird branch that Miles Davis wandered off into in the 70's, and do only pseuds like it.

The question is whether this is the best album ever made.

Pharoah's dance knocks most modern orchestral music into a much-needed hole in the ground - its atonal genius - only Stockhausen could even get close to this match of mood and insane key combinations - is unsurpassed.

Bitches brew has a groove so deep that when you really hear it (maybe second listen, maybe third) you almost salute it - its dark, african and american - city and jungle - jesus its superb.

And if you don't like Spanish Key you are very likely dead.

Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock: +DVD

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Fusion
by: Joe Satriani

March 31, 2008
Music is always going to be something dictated to a large extent by personal choice, but for me who is a Satriani fan, there are some tracks on this album, that I think, rates with some of his best work, and so for me excellent album.
One of the guitar demi-gods playng at the top of his game.
Boogie on.

Caravanserai: Remastered

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Fusion
by: Santana

October 06, 2003
I think this is the best santana album (at least studio album because then theres Lotus live in Japan) and serves as a masterclass in the fusion of so many musics yet it sounds so pure and it still amazes how all the influences can be heard so clearly but at the same time everything about this album is so unique...Everytime i hear it it impresses me even more how the songs transition into one another so seamlessly and it is almost over as soon as it had began.

Anyways, highly recommended album for guitar fans, jazz fans, early santana stuff, woodstock fans...you see where im going here, worth buying by just having "all the love in the universe"

The Black Box Of Jazz

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Fusion
by: Various Artists

March 18, 2008
This very moderately priced box of extremely interesting and diverse jazz performances doesn't get 5 stars from me only because it is not sufficiently equipped with the recording information...

Otherwise, it's a good buy indeed, with music mixing swing, cool, be-bop, hard-bop and other styles very freely, to suite the tastes of the more liberal jazz fans who love challenges.
