“Ever hear the expression "Jack of all trades, master of none"? That's how I feel about Nilsson, really. There's a kind of charming insincerity about the man -- it's like it all comes so easily to him, he's got used to just gliding on by. Case in point: this record. It's charming, it really is. It's a bit like a magazine, dipping into everything, from children's songs to hard rock.

“"War Child"'s achievement is in its music: some of the richest in recent memory, the arrangements are consistently stunning in their execution, courting excess but impossibly balanced by admirable dexterity. Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that "Skating On The Thin Ice of The New Day" is one of my favorite songs (a musical epiphany, if you will).”

“Jaco Pastorius was a meteor who blazed on to the scene in the 1970s, only to flame out tragically in the 1980s. With a brilliantly fleet technique and fertile melodic imagination, Pastorius made his fretless electric bass leap out from the depths of the rhythm section into the front line with fluid machine-gun-like passages that demanded attention. He also sported a strutting, dancing, flamboyant performing style and posed a further triple-threat as a talented composer, arranger and producer. He and Stanley Clarke were the towering influences on their instrument in the 1970s.”

“
'Touch' sent John Klemmer's career into overdrive while arguably creating the "smooth jazz" genre almost 20 years before anyone even used the term! In fact, this release was so successful that it was quickly followed by the equally successful 'Barefoot Ballet', so similar in material and personnel that it could have been called Touch 2 . Taken together, these two releases represented almost 100 minutes of the smoothest jazz saxophone work at the time (and won Klemmer a coveted guest solo on Steely Dan's 'The Royal Scam').

“
Louis Davids (Rotterdam Zandstraat 19 december 1883 - Amsterdam 1 juli 1939). Louis Davids beroep was cabaretier en revue-artiest. Hoewel gestorven in het jaar vòòr de Tweede Wereldoorlog, stond hij in januari 2000 nog op nummer 5 op de Parool top 100 van de allerbeste Nederlandse liedjes van de afgelopen eeuw. Met het liedje Naar de bollen. Vic van der Reijt schreef dat de liedjes van J.H. Speenhoff, Dirk Witte en Willy Derby nog steeds mooi zijn, maar wel erg ouderwets klinken. ´Dat is niet het geval bij Louis Davids. Zijn liedjes hebben tempo, hij ging in zee met de beste componisten en tekstschrijvers en stelde hoge eisen aan de orkesten waarmee hij zijn platen opnam; daarvoor week hij zelfs uit naar de studio's van His Masters Voice in Londen.´

“The Heavy Metal community gives its bands a pretty wide berth; that's one way to explain the success of Uriah Heep. Some will tell you that they were not the best band in the world, but that's not being fair to this multi-talented group of individuals. The group have consistently produced a series of high quality hard rock, and have lasted longer than most bands of that genre. This CD use tracks from Uriah Heep's more eclectic side. It comes with new liner notes from Record Collector's Joe Geesin, and is a great addition to the ever expanding Heep Catalogue. Sanctuary, 2005.”

“
For many "The Joshua Tree" is one of the finest rock records made. Others see it as overwrought and overly earnest. But this was a band with a conscience and who on the evidence of this record could write damn fine songs. After the bold experimentation of "The Unforgettable Fire", with its sprawling ambience produced by the winning partnership of Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, "The Joshua Tree" was a more focussed affair, with the production more subtle and assured. The remastering on this re-issue, supervised by The Edge, brings out all the details and nuances in the Lanois/Eno soundscape. Just listen to the shimmering sound of The Edge's "infinite guitar" on the intro to "With Or Without You"! Never has it sounded so gorgeous!
