IPhone 3G used's review (What a ride!) 『Listening to this music will instantly transport you to another time and place. It will certainly stir emotions experienced in the movie and remind you again of just how touching the story of Celie is. Enjoy the bluesy sounds of Shug Avery singing in the juke-joint as well as the church choir belting out the sounds of 'God's tryin' to tell you something!' The rhythm of the African drums and chants will spark your soul and the theme music will bring a tear to your eye as you envision the cloud of dust behind the car bringing Nettie and the kids back home to Celie. Go watch the movie later, you know you want to! Don't forget the tissues, though!!』
(Good Music Short Songs) 『This CD has some wonderful music on it, however there is nothing beyond what was literally in the movie. So there are some great songs that are only 30 seconds long. That was quite disappointing.』
(Wonderful Album) 『This is a wonderful soundtrack! I originally owned the cassette version of it. My 2 favorite songs are "Sister (Miss Celie's Blues)" and "Maybe God's Trying To Tell you Something." Everytime I listen to those songs, I always visualize the scenes from the movie in my head. If you know someone who loves the movie, I recommend getting him or her this soundtrack.』
(Just What I Ordered) 『I have been looking for this CD forever. I was told that it was "out of print". I was thrilled when I found it and it was reasonably priced. I will have to day that the music in the actual movie was better than what is on the CD, but that is always the way...』
(Fabulous) 『If you've seen the movie, listening to the CD is like watching it again, but with your eyes closed. If you've seen the movie as many times as I have, you'll know exactly which scene is which as you listen to the music.』

My 4 year old daughter will even watch it, she loved these videos when she was younger. I would have given it 5 stars except that the "Buddies" aren't in it as much as the other videos, like On the Farm. My son really loves to see the actual puppets so there are points where it looses his interest. Over all I would recommend the videos.』
(Good video, except for ANNOYING music) 『I liked this video until it came to the extremely annoying heavy metal-type song. I ended up getting rid of it because I couldn't stand to hear the music anymore, and it seemed to be one my son could take or leave. If you don't mind the song, it is probably a good teaching tool. It teaches important concepts like big/small.』
(Buy This, Buy Them All) 『My daughter is 2 and has been watching these for a year. We own the entire collection and even we rarely tire of them. Her has grown her vocabulary from watching this series and I can see recognition on her face when she sees things in the real world that reflect what the CBs have shown her. The music is not annoying and covers all genres. The puppets mixed with live action and lots of other babies&toddlers really hold her attention. It is so much more educational than the Baby Einsteins - I find myself really thinking those are just eye candy without much purpose. Couldn't recommend the Buddies more.』
(stands apart from others) 『My son, who is now 2 years old, began watching this when he was 15 months old. At first, it was a hard sell -- I think because the opening number threw him for a loop. He was used to Baby Einstein with classical music; and this video has lyrics. So, I put it in the car DVD player so he was forced to watch it. After a while, he began to love it. Some of the music sounds somewhat like gospel. It's a bit peculiar compared with other kids DVD's; but we've grown to like it alot. He particularly likes the segment where the puppets are shown driving construction equipment - i.e. bulldozer, dump truck, etc. Then there is a great song -- "dig, dig, dig, my excavator!" and kids are seen pushing toy dump trucks around. There is also a segment showing tools - hammer, saw, etc. While I think girls would like it, I think it's a must for boys. I wish there were more boys videos for toddlers on the market - i.e. cars, construction, trucks, etc.』
(Great Entertainment) 『My son is a huge fan of the Curious Buddies collection. Now at 13 months old he gets into them, but even as of 6 months he could be entertained for periods of time with the music. Great products! Would reccommend all, his favorites....Let's Go To The Farm&Let's Move.』 『"Let's Build " (9-24 mos.): There's so much for babies to see and hear, while building! Watch the trucks, build towers, arrange blocks, examine sizes, textures, and colors, and dance, clap, play, learn, and laugh along with Nick Jr. Baby's Curious Buddies!』
IPhone 3G used's review (Fun and Funky) 『HandMC has been one of my favorite J-Rock bands for a while now so I was ecstatic to get this cd as a gift for my birthday.
The songs are loud and energetic, perfect for when you have to clean your room or do other chores. You'll find yourself dancing around like a maniac.』
(High and Might Color) 『This cd High and Mighty Color GO ON Progressive is a very, VERY GOOD Cd it is definitely worth the money any one who likes J-Pop and or High and Mighty Color you have to buy this CD it ROCKS. I like every song on the Cd all of them are good and it shows you a different side of High and Mighty Color some of the songs are kind of like Ichirin No Hana some have that same feel as that song but others take on a different approach so anyone looking at this review should buy this Cd.』

[...] you just can't beat the value , besides, the music is terrific. This is one of those one puts on to really feel the scope of world music. With samples from artists from all over the globe, in many different languages, rarely in English, some pure instrumentals, the music puntuates the universal nature and healing power of music. The sampler is heavy on African and Eastern music from esoteric faraway lands. Of particular interest is an excerpt from "Jogiya Kalingra" by Ali Akbar Khan who plays a mean Ravi Shankar-ish sitar accompanied by some reverberating tablas that send the listener into a fenzied Nirvana state and back. Another Eastern tune that is a fave is "Krishna" by Colonial Cousins, sung in English with some very poignant lyrics in light of recent ugly world events. After a mantra introduction concerning " darkness coming around and everyone fightning and killing one another" and how he should "come back as Jesus, Rama , Allah or as anyone to save the world" the music strikes a particular enlightening and optimistic chord. Other poignant lyrics are "Religion is the reason the world is breaking up into pieces." The song eventually ends with a lovely, peaceful flute and a fading chorus behind tablas that repeates "I'm waiting." The CD uses a color mark as a guide for identifying from what region of the globe the music comes from that is helpful. This is an excellent buy and well worth the [...] costs. A nice addition for World Music fans from which to seek the artists that most appeal to their tastes or just enjoy as is.』
(Great Bargain) 『I picked this CD up a while back because it was a bargain. I have enjoyed it immensely. I usually pick up a sampler hoping to find one new artist that I can listen to. Almost all of the tracks on this CD clicked with me. The general tone is energetic without being too high-strung. There is a great exposure of different styles from around the globe. I came back here to Amazon to look for other work by artists on this CD.』
(Fantastic bargain of a sampler disc.) 『This CD is an incredible bargain of a sampler disc. My personal favorites are the selections from Gipsy Kings-soundalikes Gitano Family, dazzling flamenco guitarist Gerardo Nunez, and the free-spirited 'Calin Rua' from Dervish. African, Middle Eastern, and Indian selections round out the collection.』 fetish『 The Case of the 3 Sided Dream in Audio Color 』

Yuck.
SO I took a chance on this version, as it was advertised as being the original Atlantic master. AND what a terrific master it is. I also must say it is one of the best audio CD purchases I have made in a LONG time!
Not only is the audio crisp and clean, but there are NO annoying silences between the tracks!! Everything flows, VERY nicely. For the first time, since the release of the vinyl, do you get to hear this album as Rahsaan intended: a complete musical THOUGHT.
This one is the one to get folks! I enjoyed it. I bet you will too! 』 『Remastered reissue packaged in a digipak. Warner Jazz. 2004.』

The moods she can create on her erhu are absolutely incredible. Buy the CD--but better yet, try to see these performers live. Their passions for their traditional Chinese instruments are such a delight to watch and listen to.

IPhone 3G used's review (IT'S VERY ROMANTIC,) 『I bought this cd, becuase I listened one of the songs in the radio, Dejenme querer, I felt that this lyrics is my history. All the tracks are very romantics and has two songs that has all the rythm. I really recommned it』
