![]() Underworld: Rise of the Lycans [Blu-ray] $39.95 I was a huge fan of the first and second Underworld movies, and enjoyed this one as well. The story was very good, and filled in a lot of details mentioned in the first two movies. I hope that another film can be made to follow the story of the second film, with Kate Beckinsdale back as the lead. ![]() Rise $9.99 This is a 2007 re-release from the Shoutfactory of Herb Alpert's " RISE" album with 10 song selections titled Bonus Tracks. Although I consider this recording mostly filler, only because I personally believe less is more and a purist at heart, there are four selections that stand out. " Behind The Rain" stands out due to the natural soft flow of Herb Alpert's horn melody from start to finish. "Aranjuez" follows the purity of a more distinct latin beat as the orchestration follows smoothly along to a superb musical arrangement. I removed all aspects of a middle-eastern sound track from this selection and finished off with my own composition of what a spanish version was intended to play and timed out at 5:25 minutes. "Rise" stands out on it's own without musical compromise! "Rotation" and "Street Life" are two selections that are worthwhile easy to listen. Again being a purist and not a fan of techno/psychodellic sounding distortions, I didn't care for the alternate versions of "Rotation" and "Aranjuez." However as an avid fan of Herb Alpert I rated this CD with four stars based on two outstanding musical arrangements and two other selections that follow very well. If you like Herb Alpert playing a robust yet very smooth natural latin musical direction this is a great album that has merit along with another CD titled "Fandango." with musical direction by Juan Carlos Calderon, when ever it becomes available as a re-issue. Thank You. ![]() Rise $11.94 Have listened to the piece several times now, and find it richer each time I listen to it. I create art to it, the music allows the unconscious to flow & the heart to swell, opening closed pathways. It would also be beautiful music to have dinner with. |
