Lullaby Favorites: Music for Little People

Customer Review:

Good cd......

The only problem with it was that it could have had some more songs to make it a longer playing cd.

Sweet Dreams are Made of This Music

I bought this CD for my preschoolers to listen to at naptime at daycare. Everybody found it very soothing including the teachers! It somehow got broken one day and we were sad to see it go. The kids asked what happened to their sleepy time music. I couldn't find another one anywhere so I finally found it here and I can't wait to get it for my own son.

Beautiful vocals, some cheesy lyrics

My husband purchased this CD for our 19-month-old son to help him fall asleep at night. It's a lovely CD and is very calming for our son. The vocals are beautiful and have helped me learn the lyrics to some classic lullabies. My one quibble is with some corny "new" lyrics for a few of the songs, especially "Rock-a-Bye-Baby." There's one particular line that always makes us laugh in the 4th song: "Slumbertime is so appealling, all through the night..." It seems they could have done better than that! But overall, we are pleased with this CD.

George Is On

Customer Review:

Old School Dance Brilliance!!

This 2-disc compilation from deep Dish takes us back to the days of good ol' dance remixes and catchy house music, as in the Thunderpuss mix of "Mama Mia" or the Junior mix of "Xanadu." George is On similarily shamelessly provides multiple remixes of "Flashdance" with the air guitar string repeating against a thumping house beat. Disc 1 also contains other memorable dance music offerings, with stand outs such as
"No Stopping For Nicotine", "Say Hello" and "Everybody's Wearing My Head". Steveie Nicks contributes to "Dreams" (can't go wrong there) and "Sexy Ill" is one of the strongest dance tracks since "Running" from Information Society. The mood on Disc 1 fluctuates from energetic to languid, and relaly does provide a great listening experience. Disc 2 contains multiple mixes of the two best tracks on Disc 1, "Flashdance" and "Say Hello". Irene Cara's vocals work perfectly on the Hoxton Whores Remix of the track, and the Paul Van Dyk mix of "Say Hello" is haunting. Disc 2 also contains videos of these two tracks. In summary, this album reinforces that high quality and creative dance music lives!

Waste of money

I have to disagree with everyone else here. Now just to make things clear, I am no newbie club kid who needs deep dark progressive to make me happy. But this album just straight up bored the hell out of me. It is absolutely nothing like what you would expect from a Deep Dish album. Ive lived through the 80s and have no need of a hyped up CD filled with remixes of our favorites from those days. Everyone is well due their opinions so if you liked the CD all the more power to you, but for those of you out there that are Deep Dish fans please listen to this first for it is not what you are probably expecting.

George happens I guess

Nice Deep Dish released an original album with great club material. Keeping with the deep sound and adding tripped out vocals, Deep Dish indeed. Although I prefer a mixed album, this material is classic and will bring a smile to your face. Flashdance is one of the best songs of 05' and will bring you back to the sound many djs are going to like Acosta and Tiesto. Adding guitars to dubbed out vocals is the sound of today and Deep Dish might have started it. They've been on board for a long time, and top some of their best hits with this album. Stevie Nicks song and Flashing For Money are perfect to bring this mix back to earth. If you like housey trance buy this album without a hesitation.

Customer Review:

For The Fans

This lengthy soundtrack boasting highlights from the score and songs from the acclaimed television series, does a good job of summing up its run.

The scory parts in the middle of the album can tend to get a little dull, although most of these tracks give added meaning for the fans. A 3min electronic string score will probably come off pretty flat and not too exciting to the average listener... The fans though will have story lines to tie to every single note giving the entire album a much needed face lift.
Also as a nice added bonus, there`s a note from Robert J. Kral (the guy who wrote most of score) on every single track.
Nice one.

Surely there`s enough stuff here, and not only for the fans. The Greenwalt-tune is a nice guitar driven thing, a couple of well placed licensed tracks, an extended version of the theme (unfortunately with some annoying vocals to boot. But hey, we`ll live..), all those memorable themes (mostly Chris Becks`s of course..), and some, in my opinion, dreary Lorne karaoke stuff at the end.

Most of the score stuff is nicely arranged and produced. Expecting too much here would be wrong, it`s a television show. Not a hollywood blockbuster.

All in all, this is a fine treat for all us Whedon fans out there.

I`m having difficulties thinking of any reason why you shouldn`t purchase this album other than the booklet only containing photos from the final season.
But let`s face it.
That`s just being picky.

A Great Album!!!

Being a fan of the show, I knew the long awaited album release wouldn't dissapoint. I was right! This album consists of mostly scores from the show from Robert Kral. My favorites include, Hero (Played during the demise of Doyle), Home, The Trials of Darla, Untouched / Darla's Fire, I'm Game by Buffy composer Christophe Beck!!! These are my favorites, I like the others too!!! There's also songs by Andy Hallet, Vast, Christian Kane and Kim Richey. Buy this album, I did, and got my money's worth!

Smooth Soudtrack

The songs that line this album are wonderful, especially for a fan of Angel. A lot of the music is scores from very familiar episodes and the rest are a lot of the charachter sung versions of songs. Albiet lorn "lady marmalade" isn't my favorite type of music it still brings back memories of the show. On the other hand song like "L.A. Song" by Cristian Kane are just amazing. The lyrics written by David Greenwalt and the performance by Kane himself just lay you out. Other songs, like "A place called home" make you feel the loss of the show and remind you of why you loved the show so much.

Planet Sleeps

Everything about this CD, from its eye-popping cool packaging to its beautiful booklet, is wonderful, perhaps peerless. It's a study that spans 16 countries, catching paeans to childhood sleep from varied traditions. The set traverses the Cape Breton Gaelic tradition with the Rankin Family, Haiti with pop stars Boukman Eksperyans, and the African continent with music from Tonga, Algeria, and Cameroon. Despite their distances from each other, at times the songs sound quite alike. Voices might begin alone but then gather into choral size, with a reliance on wordless passages to emphasize the flow of time as sleep encroaches. In execution, the surprises are many. Algerian Houria Aïchi sounds East Indian; the Traditional Japanese Music Ensemble of New York sounds poised somewhere between a stately concert of historical court music and a touching homage to childhood; and German singer Michelle sounds pop-music ready even as she toes the line on singing a sleep-triggering song. Beyond being a great collection of international music, this is probably the most interesting mix available of cultural voices approaching the issue of children sleeping. --Andrew Bartlett

Customer Review:

A great cd, very relaxing for babies and adults!

My 4-month old daughter LOVES this cd. She is a very active baby who can have a hard time settling down, but she calms right down when this is on. She loves listening to it, and I really like it as well. I'm not sure that this cd would ever put her to sleep, but she loves to listen to it or to have someone dance with her while it plays.

Simplity Beautiful Music - Wish It Included Lyrics

I just wanted to say that I love this CD. My daugther, my husband and I sleep to it every night since I brought it about 2 weeks ago. I love all the songs and attempt to sing them to my daughter (no lyrics manuel :( ),even thoughout the day. I'm addicted.

The first time I listened to the CD I sat down and was captured by the beauty of all the songs so much that I listened to it again.

I highly recommend this CD to any music lover!

Not for MY baby...

I cannot imagine that this weird bunch of jungle music would actually help a baby sleep. The music is not "bad" per se, if you want a collection of foreign folk music. However, only the french song is remotely like a real lullaby. The other songs are just too stressful and weird. It is hard to believe that any of these songs help babies sleep, even in each song's country of origin. I suspect that IF my baby ever slept to this CD it would result in nightmares.
