test of time. Recorded just 10 days after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, this two-hour US TV telethon has an appropriately sombre tone; it's also refreshingly unpretentious and ego-free, with no audience and no onscreen identification--of the musical artists or the actors and others who speak between songs. There are some passionate and moving performances by Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Limp Bizkit and friends, Neil Young (the much-praised "Imagine") and several more, easily eclipsing the couple of outright turkeys (the overwrought theatrics of Enrique Iglesias and Mariah Carey). To watch the programme after the horror may have started to fade is to be reminded of the extraordinary emotions the tragic events aroused; and while pop music may be superfluous in the big picture, its power to inspire and perhaps even heal is something to behold.--Sam Graham, Amazon.com

Advantages: Recognisable tunes Disadvantages: Neither fish nor foul. Best stick to the original
I was prompted to shake the dust off a neglected corner of my record collection by a review posted by Nar recently. "The True Legacy of a Legendary Musical Divorce?" is about the Album "Legacy, a Tributeto Fleetwood Mac's Rumours" - a CD of cover versions of the songs from the classic Mac album 'Rumours' released in 1977. Nar also said that he was '?forever on the look out for new versions and covers of songs by leading artists known and unknown.'. For completeness then, here is one for his collection and maybe one which may have escaped your attention the first time around.
The String Quartet Tribute's declared aim is to concentrate on one well known performer or group at a time and produce classical (instrumental) versions of the songs 'note for note'. Some albums are compendiums of the original's more well known titles; others, as ...
Advantages: Nice thought, initially great --originals-- Disadvantages: Not the LP originals but cover versions, horrible voices and bad sound quality
Dear Ciao members and Linkin Park fans,
My first Ciao test report ever will be on >A tributeto Linkin Park<, a CD by variousartists which you will find listed below in the track listings.
[Please don't be too hard on my English, as my maternal language is German ^^°
...But let's get back to the report!]
As said in the title, the CD is tributedto the American Nu Metal band Linkin Park which inspired the CD (as all of the tracks are simply cover versions of their own hits, in fact), whereas the band itself was not engaged in the process of CD making (and I'm not even sure whether they are informed about its existence at all...).

Coming toAmerica. (Film Review Only)
----------------------------- -------------------------------------
Saturday night in and the night before Bon Fire night. A nice quiet night in front of the TV where I can put my feet up and settle down to watch a film, or so I thought. Many people seem to have forgotten the fact that November 5th is Bon Fire Night, not November 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and certainly not October. Sadly my relax and watch a film had to be delayed until the continuing bombardment of loud bangs and flashes had calmed down at least, which finally happened at 10pm. Hurray get out the flags peace and quiet at last, so feet up, grab controllers and scan the channels for something to watch. Finally whilst browsing I noticed that on Paramount Comedy +1 was Coming ToAmerica, a film which I have seen many times before but ...
