No matter what way you look at it, The Final Curtain is a bit of a morbid title for a posthumous hits collection, but even with that burden, the compilation lives up to its billing as The Ultimate Best of Falco. Since this is a German release, it has a number of songs that were Eurohits but will be unfamiliar to American listeners. Consequently, it will seem like overkill to many casual fans, but for the dedicated, this an exhaustive overview of his career that borders on definitive. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
17 track retrospective of the late Austrian new waver's best. Contains the original hit versions of 'Rock Me Amadeus' & 'Vienna Calling', as well mixes of 'Der Kommissar' ('Kommiss ar 2000'), 'Egoist' and 'Helden Von Heute' (Remix '99).
THE FINAL CURTAIN: THE ULTIMATE BEST OF FALCO brings together all of the favorites from the Austrian '80s icon in a 17 cut collection, featuring the hits "Rock Me Amadeus" and "Vienna Calling."

Final Curtain: The Ultimate Best Of Falco
 $11.39    
Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan offers up something to fill the collective void of fans eagerly awaiting a follow up to AENIMA. Keenan teamed with Tool guitar tech and A Perfect Circle guitarist/composer Billy Howerdel for MER DE NOMS, which is both a band effort and an engaging hard rock album, recorded while Tool renegotiated with their label and other band members took a break. But don't be fooled; A Perfect Circle is more than a one-off side project.
The band isn't nearly as brutal as Tool; the musical textures are instead spacious and melodic. Keenan maintains his brooding, emotionally charged vocal style and his knack for conjuring bleak imagery. The track most comparable to ...

Final Curtain: The Ultimate Best Of Falco
$10.39 
All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
Ever since he burst out of Indiana in the mid-'70s, The Artist Formerly Known As John Cougar never allowed success to smother his humble beginnings as an Indiana boy done good. This inevitable best-of follows him down the long, strange road of his career. Mellencamp's initial success came via a bar-band anthem ("I Need A Lover"). He then turned his attention towards writing about life in the Midwest ("Small Town" and "Pink Houses"). Along the way, the self-named "Little Bastard" embraced roots music by incorporating fiddle and squeezebox into his sound ("Paper In Fire"), setting the stage for the later success of alt-country acts such as Uncle Tupelo and The Jayhawks. Always a fan of late '60s rock and soul, Mellencamp paid homage to the T.A.M.I. shows of his youth in "R.O.C.K. ...
| | Alice In Chains Facelift CD (1990)
Final Curtain: The Ultimate Best Of Falco
$6.75 
Long before the phrase, "Seattle scene" spoke of an impact that a new generation of musicians was having on rock music, Alice in Chains was struggling to be recognized in the shadow of bands that were more focused on image than craft. On FACELIFT, the band's major label debut, Alice in Chains proved that its fusion of blues, hard rock, and gritty imagery was a force to be reckoned with. While college radio stations ate up fare like "It Ain't Like That" and "We Die Young," the song "Man in a Box" became a banner track that pushed the band into the forefront of heavy rotation on MTV ...
| | Yessongs CDs (1973) Remastered
Final Curtain: The Ultimate Best Of Falco
$17.15
Especially compelling is "And You and I" from CLOSE TO THE EDGE, and a smoking rendition of "Roundabout", which one imagines the band wasn't totally sick of playing yet. YESSONGS serves as a compelling showcase for the guitar heroics of Steve Howe, from his intimate solo-acoustic "Mood for a Day" to his scintillating solo on "Yours is No ...
| | Pat Metheny Map Of The World CD (1999) SDTK
Final Curtain: The Ultimate Best Of Falco
$14.79
Guitarist Pat Metheny's exceptional compositional skills reached another plateau with the beautiful score for the film A MAP OF THE WORLD. Here, with a full orchestral accompaniment, Metheny explores the pastoral sound of the acoustic guitar and coaxes from it some of the most emotionally rich music he has ever composed. Those looking for the guitarist's signature modern Brazilian-flavored electric style will not find it here, nor are there any ...
