Leni Stern is truly an original artist making some very personal music. In a strange mix of Aimee Mann-like melodies and more avantgardelike jazz. There are some really haunting songs like "Empty Hands" and "Where is God" showing her human and intelligent lyrics as well. Add to this some great guests - all playing with intensity and restraint - like Zakir Hussain, Michael Brecker and not least John McLaughlin, who puts in a breathtaking performance on the titletrack. A must for all lovers of genuine and artistic music.

Two disc set; disc one is trance, disc two is ambient. I'm not into ambient, so all I listen to is disc one. But it's simply the best hard/goa/psi/trance/techno/electronica I've ever heard.

This book should be viewed as inspiration for greats as Charles Cosimano and G.Harry Stine.One of the first inthis area.Wel written and diverse in it's scope.Very much worth reading.Details hidden,ignored aspects of science and how it is obsctruted .

Bean's Song was a hard book to get into,took awhile but once I got into the middle of the book I couldn't put it down, finished the rest in one setting. Many fun charcters. My favorite part of the book is the illustrations. I enjoyed exploring each picture with all of its details. Book does leave you hanging for the next one. I would recommend this book to any reader of fantasy.

This album can best be described as part of the very best of the late Arthur Fiedler "Boston Pops". But then virtually everything they recorded before and during Fielder's decades long tenure and even after Fiedler was and still is the best. In my opinion the "crown jewel" of this great album is Fiedler's version of George Gershwin's, "Porgy & Bess" "Summertime". I believe BMG/Sony should compile the entire recordings which date back to the 40's and 50's "Porgy & Bess" musical by the "Pops" and re-ssue them in one or two CD's. "Porgy & Bess" was one of Fiedler's very best masterpieces.

This without a doubt is the worst of the worst of all the Pops recordings. It is so lame the orchestration so flat. Every song sounds the same. I think my copy of this CD will have to go in the trash, Its not worth the space on my shelf.
