Music reviews of Desiderata
Music Review: Perfect...absolutely perfect!
Rating: 5 Stars
I'm not sure why some of the reviewers write that this CD is not like the original. I still have my album (white jacket, poster and everything) and a turntable on which to play it...this CD sounds EXACTLY like the original...minus the few wear and tear sounds of my 30 something year old album.
I was excited to finally find a CD version so I could add it to my MP3 player.
I always found this was one of those recordings (talking about the entire set of tracks) that you should listen to alone and in a quiet place. Since it's primarily a recitation of poems and such; having others around talking really becomes annoying.
Listening brings a flood of memories! Of all the tracks Beauty and Happiness are my least favorite...they're just too...too sweet. I didn't care for them originally, and my opinion hasn't changed.
Description of Desiderata
Unavailable on CD in the U.S., this is a reissue of Crane's Grammy-winning 1971 album. Similar to & thanks to the popularity of Baz Luhrman's 'Everybody's Free', the spoken word recording is based on a 1927 poem by Max Ehrmann that hippies clung to in the '60s. The rest of the tracks on the long player continue along the same touchy-feely self-help theme, with musical accompaniments varying from Native American vibes to gospel to rock to opera. 12 tracks (though only 10 are actually printed on the CD).General CDs
