TEMPANO - The Agony and The Ecstasy (2002) [rated 3/5 by Ricochet]

2008-01-10 10:38:48 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Ecstasy has almost everything thats swell enough to be raved and gloriously noted, from creating a discrete story into Michelangelos life and genius, up to revolving complex music with a high level of originality (or, if not, tastefulness). Even listening to the album more than once builds up more than good feelings, the first couple of ones...

...Ecstasy , originally released in 1979. There is a fair amount of Indian/world music influence that makes this a very pleasant album indeed. Some tracks, like the 11 minute long title piece, are firmly in ambient territory, while others, like "Wings of Love", have strong and upbeat melodic lines. The editorial review on Amazon.com reads:...

BLACK SABBATH - Technical Ecstasy (1976) [rated 3/5 by Vibrationbaby]

2008-01-30 15:35:09 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Ecstasy has come under scrutiny for various reasons mostly because it had little in common with their previous work veering in a more rock n`roll direction and failing to live up to their reputation as the masters of doom & gloom. Other illusions critics created were that internal band problems with drugs management and legal issues were...

...ECSTASY with the possible exception of 'Dirty Women'. This album has not sat well through the course of time, and it just seems to get worse with every listen I bought TECHNICAL ECSTASY thinking that this lighter side of Black Sabbath would be more suitable for my tastes; for a while, I was right. However, over a year and a half later, the...

...Ecstasy is the second studio album from US act Steely Dan. I was pleasantly surprised by the cool and laidback pop/ rock style on their debut album, even though it doesnt really fit my taste in music. The same can be said about Countdown To Exstasy The music is still laidback pop/ rock but some cocktail/ lounge jazzy parts has sneaked into...

...Ecstasy it stopped me dead in my tracks. It satisfied every aspect of my sensibilities both as a musician and as a music lover and it still does to this very day. The difference between this album and their pop-oriented debut is like night and day. So much for the sophomore jinx! In most cases bands use up all their best material for their...

...Ecstasy is IMHO much closer to the band's potential and most likely closer to what the group viewed as their artistic direction. Recorded between bouts of touring in promotion of their hit debut album, CTE might have been even better a record had the time and money not run out. One thing is clear though, the reception of this album was not a...
