CAMEL — Rain Dances
Review by MANDRAKEROOT (Andrea Salvador)

2 stars DANCES... WITH RICHARD SINCLAIR

I do not believe that the arrival of Richard Sinclair have carried positive ideas for the Camel... In fact this disc is not of it meat of it fish... It is not Symphonic and in certain points taming me if is a Prog disc...

Nevertheless it it contains "Higways Of The Sun" (in the edition in my possession is included also it "Single Version", not good cones the "Album Version") worthy musical sensibility of authentic masterpiece of the "Snow Goose" or "Moonmadness". Besides there it is "Elke" that to remembers me too the early Tangerine Dream... Finally there it is "Rain Dances" excellent song for Synth. For the remainder the emty one...

Last 10 years seem from "Moonmadness" and instead... The gears are itself routes...!

For always yours, Mandrakeroot.

 
Holy God Mad, this is weird even for Mandrakeroot, seems like he is using a cheaper online translator.
 
You that are Italian please tell him in your mother tongue to stop calling the bands THE Yes, THE Camel, THE Genesis, each time I see this combo of words I want to kill myself   Dead  or better  kill somebody. Off with his head

Scene Six posted two Dream Theater score reviews, with the same text.


EDIT: or at least that's what the front page shows. Confused on the album page, there is only one review.

SECOND EDIT: wait, I understand now, he reviewed both the CD and the DVD. yet it's still inappropriate, the DVD text is almost the same with the CD text.

Review by vintageb3
Thank You for great review. But I'm not really shure about the "third album of Predmestje", as they have not issued any. The "Hazard" was the pop gruop in 70ies. They should issue more then 3 LPs.

I saw them all, GR... but my computer is being upgraded and I'm using another one where I don't find secure to manage the database. Let's hope that Bob or Jody make a visit here and may deal with these reviews (and others) or wait until Monday.Embarrassed

I found at least a couple this morning... Let's start with this one:

PINHAS, RICHARD — Chronolyse
Review by chonibarra

5 stars richard is always a reliable musician is like my nehighbor and at the same time fun to hear since his times and tunes changes, makes me feel fresh and amicable from heldon to his discs. he keeps a delightful way of music.jose.


It doesn't really say much about the album, does it? And then there's another from our friend Mandy, which I found a bit hard to understand at times (even coming from the same mother language as he):

The communication text is more or less "standard" but we always make some changes when it's the first review of a member or when we realize that the reviewer's native language isn't English, etc.
 
However, any idea for improvement is welcome! Smile 
 
Well this sounds very good! Didn't know these details about the procedure. I trust on your professional work here. Smile
 
Thanks for trusting us! Cool
 
BTW, all these procedures were Bob's work and I received them totally ready when I started to work as a review moderator. Clap

Thanks, Angelo! I will check with the reviewer, later I'll inform here if s/he's able to translate. Smile
 


I can do it if you want - my French is quite good, and I can translate from French to English without any big problems.

 
Looks like no native French speaker will volunteer, then??Confused
 
I could also do it, but lack time.........Smile

I understand about a half of that, but my French is not good enough to offer my services here, I'm afraid.

It's a fine review, I think - just needing a good soul to provide the translation.

A non-English review here:
 
VARIOUS ARTISTS — Visions Of An Inner Mounting Apocalypse
Review by ashro

— First review of this album —

5 stars "Better than the originals !" - voilà ce qu'un grand fan du Mahavishnu pourrait dire - Et c'est ce que je dis... arf ;)

Les compositions exceptionnelles de John Mac Laughlin sont interprétées avec la puissance et le son qu'on attend de tous ces talentueux musiciens/guitaristes qui peuplent cet album - merci à Mike Varney pour le concept et la production (on se rappelle les 2 exceptionnels MVP avec Frank Gambale et Allan Holdsworth - extraordinaires quasi-lives en studio ultra inspirés et techniquement holocaustiques)... c'est un bijou, je crois que je préfère même certaines versions de ce disque aux originaux du Mahavishnu, c'est tout dire... Steve Morse est géant sur Celestial Terrestrial Commuters, Mike Stern déchire tout sur Can't Stand Your Funk (voilà un homme qui sait phraser), Frank Gambale donne un cours de violente improvisation sur Dawn, John Abercrombie nous fait une formidable dentelle sur Follow Your Heart (il manque un Metheny pour concurrencer cette magnifique interprétation... John est fantastique), Jimmy Herring se lâche vraiment très fort sur Meeting of the Spirits, vieux style et gros feeling de Jeff Richman sur Jazz, Warren Haynes casse du gros blues sur Lila's Dance, David Fiuczynski nous lâche un gros style fusion très puissant et bruitiste comme à son habitude sur Faith, Greg Howe est pur style metal enlevé sur Dance of Maya, et merveille des merveilles (jimmy et maclo sont pas seuls au panthéon des canonisés...), Steve Lukather nous arrache littéralement la plus belle version de Birds of Fire que je puisse personnellement imaginer... tout simplement explosif, extra-terrestre... du vrai progressif, du grand Luke, qui donc ne nous a pas tout donné en 30 ans de TOTO (l'exemple ultime du groupe qui sonne - merci Luke, on ne le dira jamais assez).

Le quartet Colaiuta / Eckhardt / Forman / Richman est fantastique, très gros son, hypra volubile - Mitchell Forman est toujours un des meilleurs clavier du monde - et la présence de Jerry Goodman nous montre que Mahavishnu's not dead... il détruit tout, avec des graviers - avec l'âge aidant, on a l'impression que sa violence expressive naturelle atteint des sommets. Ça phrase ultra méchant, une émulation cyclopéenne... c'est bien un tribute au Mahavishnu.

Un disque énorme - je le recommande chaudement - qui ne m'a pas déçu... les productions de Mike Varney tiennent leur niveau de qualité.

Je pense que la compétition est lancée, et que le Mahavishnu Orchestra devrait se reformer afin d'essayer de faire aussi bien que ce disque "de reprises" - arf ! hallucinant...

Juste un truc : évidemment, l'orchestre symphonique sur Apocalypse, en 1974, était d'un céleste onirisme... ici, pas d'orchestre, mais on ne leur en veux pas... ça sera pour la prochaine.

Les arrangements de John Mac Laughlin valent toujours leur pesant d'or... 24 carats.

Looks like it could have been one well worth reading but I cant read it.
