I had this record on vinyl and had to have it also on CD. I think this says it all. Buy it.

Weird and wonderful
This is by far the best solo effort from the sometime keyboardist for Yes. Wakeman fronts a keybard/synthesizer-driven rock band supported by 2 singers, a choir, a full orchestra and a narrator at a live performance. Some of the songs are hokey, but Wakeman captures the weirdness the marvels and the majesty of Verne's book. The music is that 70s album rock style that sometimes verges on pretentious but still manages to be enjoyable.

Great music, ordinary production
Rick Wakeman is quite possibly one of the most adventurous musicians on the planet, so this rock opera epitomises all that he is and much of what's great about progressive rock - grand themes, exceptional musicianship and so on, but...
...just as with every Yes recording I have ever heard, it's let down by the production quality. It just doesn't jump out at you like it should. Instead of feeling like you're sitting there surrounded by your own soundtrack to an amazing journey, it sounds like they've hidden themselves behind a bunch of gigantic mushrooms.
Five star music, two star production.

Journey To The Center Of The Earth album
$13.85
MEDDLE was the first album to hint at the musical identity that would define Pink Floyd in the mid- to late-'70s. Whereas prior releases like UMMAGUMMA and ATOM HEART MOTHER announced the presence of new singer/guitarist/songwriter David Gilmour, MEDDLE represents the band's Gilmour-influenced evolution toward a sleek, epic, spacey sound. In "Echoes," an ambitious 23-minute soundscape, the pinging of a synthesizer greets the listener before Gilmour's warm, open guitar and gentle crooning gives way to a repetitious, workmanlike rhythm. From here, the music fades into an abyss of whale calls and eerie sonic reverberations.
Elsewhere, Floyd dabbles with straightforward cocktail-hour jazz ("San Tropez") and a twisted slow blues ("Seamus"). But it is "One of These Days," MEDDLE's opening track and lone radio staple, that truly previews things to come. Roger Waters's bass, played through a Binson echo unit, establishes the song's manically hypnotic groove, as Richard Wright's synthesizer ...

$18.35
UMMAGUMMA features a set of live performances on Disc 1 and a collection of solo studio projects by various band members on Disc 2.
Disc 1 was recorded live at Mothers, Birmingham, England and live at The
Party-liners may favor DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, but diehard space cadets recognize UMMAGUMMA as the pinnacle of post-Barrett Floyd's achievement. Originally released as a double LP, the first record is a live recording from 1969, while the second features four extended cuts written by (and featuring) each of the four band members in turn. Eschewing the catchy, Kinks-influenced pop kaleidoscope of the band's first album, the live portion focuses on extended, spacy near-instrumentals, heavy on acid-fueled jamming ...

The Meadows are Todd Herfindal and Kevin Houlihan. Introduced years ago in San Francisco by future X- Girlfriends, the two have been making music together ever since. Todd grew up representing the West Coast under the beautiful Northern California sun. Kevin was asked to leave the East Coast after many happy and youthful years. Now living in Los Angeles, they have locked themselves away in various recording studios between the fall of 2004 and summer of 2005. Emerging pale and extremely light sensitive with their self titled debut album "THE MEADOWS". It is, without question, the most unanticipated rock album of 2005. Nobody knew it was coming, and no one knows where it will go. Todd and Kevin both share lead vocal responsibilities. Using the tried and true foundation of drums, bass and guitars, The Meadows built upon the sound with strings, vocal harmonies, organ, violin, viola and noise to create an album that is expansive and cinematic. In fact, the fourth track from the album, "Younger Yesterday", is featured in the Fox/New Regency film Little Manhattan, released in theaters late 2005 and on DVD April 4th, 2006. Its a good start ...
