This is a multi-channel Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players.
After numerous live performances and the occasional one-off recording together, legendary balladeer Tony Bennett and contemporary pop siren k.d. lang felt the call to make an entire album together. The fruits of that decision, as heard on A WONDERFUL WORLD, showcase the way in which the pair's styles, ostensibly polar opposites of honeyed sweetness and rough-hewn world-wisdom, complement each other perfectly. Listen to the way the duo's voices intertwine over the light Latin-inflected rhythm of "La Vie En Rose," the soft-and-easy swing of "Dream a Little Dream of Me," or the elegantly orchestrated closer "If We Never Meet Again" (to name but a few high points). That's the sound of two true artistes finding a common point from which each can enhance the other's artistry, a rare thing in any medium.
A WONDERFUL WORLD won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. "La Vie En Rose" was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.

Nothing more need be said other than it is a stroke of genius. The 2 sound great together and the choice of individual pieces is exemplary.

 Tony and k d are a great duo
This is an excellent album with both artists in fine form. I would have given it 5 stars but it is not quite as good as "Playing With My Friends"

Wonderful World
 $6.85  
Digitally remastered by Suha Ger (Universal Music Group Studios).
In the early '80s, many of the top metal acts of the past had either disbanded or soldiered on despite the loss of founding members. Deep Purple had officially disbanded in 1976, with only two original members present in the final lineup, but by 1984, the classic lineup of vocalist Ian Gillan, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, bassist Roger Glover, drummer Ian Paice, and keyboardist Jon Lord had reunited. Responsible for such classics as MACHINE HEAD and MADE IN JAPAN, the group was considered amongst metal's ...

This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W.

| | Ride Tarantula CD (1996)
Wonderful World
$17.45
This remastered import reissue of the final album by seminal British shoegaze band Ride features three bonus tracks, "Nothing Lasts Forever," "Slave," and the cleverly titled "A Trip Down Ronnie Lane."
Here's where the plot got lost, an abomination of '70s/Lenny Kravitz clichés, full of third- and fourth-rate tunes and, ultimately, bad blood. Where Carnival of Light was a decent appropriation of late-'60s influences, here it's mere mimicry, going through the motions. No focus, no spirit, almost no quality songs -- Smaller Faces. Perhaps falling out of favor with the British press, only to be stomped upon by the likes of the Oasis phenomenon, nailed the coffin shut. The band even subbed for Oasis openers the Verve during one of the band's tours, before the recording of Tarantula, signifying a changing of the guard. Not helping the matter was a lack of ideas -- and a producer -- before entering the studio. Festering tension between Mark Gardener and Andy Bell came to a head, with Gardener walking out during the mixing process; just before the record was released in March of 1996, the band announced its breakup. Though "Black Nite Crash" and "Dead Man" are sub-Stones, sub-Faces and, well, sub-Ride, they're not half bad. Those are the bright spots, albeit relatively speaking. Gardener checks in with one lone song, the mediocre "Deep Inside My Pocket." And as Ride never had great lyricists, the words are just plain awful throughout, not even worth printing. Be warned: There's even a song detailing the myriad woes of life on the road. Most of the songs sound half-realized, sketches of what could only amount to decent material with the necessary retooling and enthusiasm. U.K. label Creation obviously didn't care for it, as it was deleted a week after its release. Unfortunately, it shouldn't have been released at all. Some might say it shouldn't have been recorded, either. (Ignition's 2001 U.K. edition adds the three OK B-sides off Black Nite Crash.) ~ Andy Kellman
