 (3 Customer Reviews)
The late-'70s was an interesting time to be a Bee Gee. The trio had experienced a rebirth as disco kings via SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER even though their music at the time was closer to the Spinners than to Donna Summer. By 1979, disco's popularity had begun to wane, but this didn't affect the Gibb's much, since they were primarily just R&B/pop artists to begin with. On SPIRITS, the Bee Gees blend their Aussie take on Philly Soul (the transcendent "Too Much Heaven," the suggestive "Love You Inside Out") with contemporary pop ("Tragedy") and that unique sound that is theirs alone (the serene, glowing title track). The brothers' trademark harmonies and irresistible pop hooks were in evidence throughout, making SPIRITS HAVING FLOWN essential for those enamored of mid-period Bee Gees or R&B-flavored '70s pop.

Spirits Having Flown Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   The Ultimate Bee Gees Album
Spirits is the Bee Gees most successful album Apart From The SNF soundtrack. The album features three gigantic no.1s, Too Much Heaven,Tragedy and Love You Inside Out. The title cut was also a sizeable hit. Hopefully a proper remastered version with bonus cuts will be released in the near future.

Best harmonies ever
The Spirits (Having Flown) album contains the best harmonies ever recorded by the Bee Gees.
In fact, the first half of the “Spirits (Having Flown)” album, including the songs “Tragedy”, “Too Much Heaven”, “Love You Inside Out”, ”Reaching Out” and “Spirits (Having Flown” is so unique that the second half suffers in comparison.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Falsetto, Falsetto, Falsetto
Most love this. It sold millions and millions. Too much falsetto. I love the BEE GEES, and consider this one of their weaker albums. Geez, buy 1st, Horizontal, Mr.Natural, Main Course, Living Eyes. These far exceed the contents here. Robin vocals are the ultimate for me, but I'd take Cucumber Castle over this.

Spirits Having Flown album
$6.09 
Out of a seemingly endless array of hip hop albums, every now and again something fresh and powerful rises to the top of the pile. Hailing from the Queensbridge Housing Projects in Long Island City (home to Marley Marl among others), 20-year old Nasir "Nas" Jones is less concerned with being an impersonator than with being an originator, bypassing adolescent fantasies and B-boy braggadocio in favor of jazzy beats, rap noir realism and new answers to urban despair.
ILLMATIC is his story, a cautionary tale of the inner-city streets, and as Nas makes plain on his opener, "The Genesis," this is what he does, with or without a record contract, and it's going to be served up straight, no chaser. And because Nas has the courage to transcend popular trends, to separate himself from the ranks of wannabes and me-toos, he may be on the verge of inaugurating some stylistic changes of his own.
Production-wise, Nas has gathered together some of the superstars of the hip hop underground, producers ...

$7.59
SUAVEMENTE was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Tropical Latin Performance.
Let us speak of apt adverbs. The comely Elvis Crespo makes his U.S. debut with a soft touch indeed, on SUAVEMENTE. Mostly moderate in tempo, this assortment of merengues takes its time as it entices. So just know that this is not your tio's merengue--you'll have barely reached the faster-burning tracks by the time your blood is pumping bien calentado.
Crespo commands attention on the title track with his pleading style and deliciously seductive vocal exhibition. Entrancing horn lines stretch and spiral over a bassline full of whimsical ...

| | Flaming Lips Finally, The Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid CDs (2002)
Spirits Having Flown CD music
$27.65
Finally, the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid is the first, and largest, of two archival sets from Restless which collects nearly all the material released by the Flaming Lips before they left independent rock for one of the most unexpected major-label deals in history. Over the course of three discs, it tells the story of what Wayne Coyne calls "a talentless, inexperienced, poorly conceived, poorly equipped drug damaged group of friends and family who had an enthusiasm for punk, new wave and classic rock." It's difficult to argue with any assessment from the notoriously honest Coyne, and especially so based on much of this material. It begins with the band's debut EP from 1984, five rockers that certainly aren't pedestrian, but also don't make much sense. Coyne's brother Mark -- later the subject of the classic "Put the Waterbug in the Policeman's Ear" -- takes lead vocals, but disappears by the time of the Lips' ...
