The guy’s got a point. In the classical field, at least, I see this marketing strategy as a way to push people into their massively expensive mega boxes.

Usually, I would not bother you with such loathsome reviews.
I really can't explain why I did it this time.

Instead, it seems the reason for the redux comes down to two simple words: petty ego.

"Not far away was his island, of which Bilbo knew nothing, and there in his hiding-place he kept a few wretched oddments, and one very beautiful thing, very beautiful, very wonderful. He had a CD, a golden CD, a precious Amber Asylum CD. "My birthday- present!" he whispered to himself, as he had often done in the endless dark days. "That's what he wants now, yes; we wants it!" He wanted it because it was music of power, and if you slipped that CD in your player, you were invisible; only in the full sunlight could you be seen, and then only by your shadow, and that would be shaky and faint."My birthday-present! It came to me on my birthday, my precious.""

Not music
This is an album which has only been spared deletion from my collection for the purpose of demonstrating what weirdness can get passed off as music these days. That and the fact they have a cool name.
As far as I can remember this is an album of 6 or 7 tracks of... hmm, let's see... white noise? metalic clanging?, scratching sounds?, radio static? All of the above. Oh and some healthy (yet wasteful) doses of extended silence.
I'm not trying to be mean here, but really - what the fuck IS this????? I can't actually hate it, but I can't see anything in it that anyone would call music either. Hence I gotta give it a mighty low rating as far as music goes.
Looking at ratings below, maybe I shouldn't be the one reviewing this album - I'm obviously out of my territory in this musical(?) genre. But, fuck it - anyone too lazy to convey their thoughts in a review so far will just have to put up with the opinions of those who do.

This is the album Every Man has been waiting to hear and own! ! ! Every man SHOULD have this album in his collection, in my opinion. The first song, an aria, might cause one who is browsing some hesitation, and getting used to, but the blessing is sure to make itself present later. BUT, the second song and those afterward will bring complete satisfaction in reference to your purchase, as well as, you requirement for Excellent Christian music. I wish Jack Ballard would create more CDs (I really do)! ! ! I would climb mountains for this album. Get it while you can!

these little known works are rich, warm, and intense romantic masterpieces. The 23d Psalm is as perfect an expression of Lyicism in the German language that exists...perhaps equal if not superior at moments to Richard Wagner's vocal craft. These works deserve to be better known.

So strange that they are "Bavarian Favorites", considering Bavaria is in Germany, and the Tirol, Seefeld, and Zillertal are in Austria and the Ländler is a traditional Austrian folk dance. Strange, indeed.

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2007
June de Toth is an extravagant butcher of the keyboard. Her renditions of Bartok are clamorous, metronomically ludicrous, and player piano-like! No feeling, no touch, and most of all no creativity, Toth's playing is robotic and mechanical--melody simply does not exist for her, and everything becomes a jumble of sounds. even Penderecki and Feldman have melodies, or some form melodic distinction. Compotent musicians, not just artists, will play all music, however modern, clamorous, or dissonent with some concept of melodic or thematic highlight. I would say that she plays the piano like a drunken peasent plays the fiddle or acordian. But, that would be cruel to the folk-perofrmer, who has more imagination and spirit that this ignorant pig. for anyone who likes Bartok, please, PLEASE, DO NOT BUY TOTH RECORDINGS! Schiff, Kocsis, Anda, Sandor. hell, even Jando's OK. All these performers and artists give justice to one of the 21st century's great composers! June de Toth makes Bartok sound hideous and annoying.

"yume bitsu's second record: epic soundscapes of guitars, syth and drums that explode in triumphant chacophany. this lp is a giant leap forward from their first record, giant surface music, and its epic grandeur dwarfs subsequent yume recordings with its dense layers of foggy guitar smear. if mogwai were less about quiet-loud and more about building naturally to the loud points, they might reach the glory yume bitsu taps into on this record. if godspeed you black emperor lightened up a little and let their guitars chime in major keys instead of sulking in gothic morbidity, and had occasional vocals instead of occasional samples of bums rambling about nonsense, they might sound like this record. if bedhead ever let themselves jam out the ends of their songs for 10 minutes and got really, really loud, they might sound like this. if yo la tengo had three more guitarists and all they did were those long songs at the end of their records, they might sound like this. if brian eno made guitar records with a drummer back in the 70's when he was making ambient synth records, they might have sounded like this. if tangerine dream drenched their keyboards in fuzz and delay, and recruited kevin sheilds to add guitar textures, it might sound like this. or something like that."
