5.0 out of 5 stars Bloody brilliant!!, April 11, 2002

Yoko Ono has been laughed at for the past 30+ years. Why? Because she dared to be different. She's now 69, I'm 17, and I absolutely love her!! "Blueprint For A Sunrise" is an album of treasures. From the very beginning, I knew this was going to be a magnificent CD. "I Want You To Remember Me" Parts A & B are haunting and outstanding! Other standout tracks include the stunning "It's Time For Action!", the sweet "I Remember Everything", and the gorgeous "Are You Looking For Me?" Live recorded tracks include "Rising II" and "Mulberry", both of which are incredible! All in all, "Blueprint For A Sunrise" is a must-have for all serious music aficionados. It's time Yoko received the praise she truly deserves!!

And that means good! The reason certain so-called "critics" don't get it is because they're reviewing it for something it isn't supposed to be or trying to be in the first place. If one just listens to it like it's one woman's personal message to them, it will effect them so much more rightly than if they try to think of what the stupid radio would do with it...
This is not meant for radio. It is not meant for anything other than what it is, which is, as said, Yoko's personal message to every individual person.
Here, she expels her thoughts on the the treatment of women, but without coming off as though she has some kind of political agenda...one truly can sense that she cares about these issues, and is Not suggesting female superiority, or being trite, and one finds onesself agreeing with it after listening to it as though it were the first time they had ever heard this message.
It also contains a very touching tribute to John...(how can one not cry?)
Sean plays guitar on the songs, and also it contains some tracks that were from live performances, such as Mulberry, where Sean's guitar~work is amazing!
And I tell you! The woman's voice and ability to transmit all sorts of emotions through it has never changed a bit! It's amazing. Oh yeah; she's a senior citizen and shows no signs of it. Go Yoko! ;-)
Her ability to keep being honest is striking...
Yeah...this one is something special, and you'll know what I mean if you buy it, so do! It is quite astounding..

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece!, October 12, 2001

Bloody marvelous!! In my view, this tops Dylan's "Love & Theft" for album of the year honors. Once again, Ima's backing is stellar throughout, and seems to have even gotten tighter since her last disc. As track 7 is entitled, It's Time for Action! ... so buy this album now!

Here's hoping that Yoko decides to tour in support of this album too. I saw her backed by Ima, at the Park West in Chicago, during her Rising tour. It was one of the most profound musical experiences I have ever had the privilege to experience. It sure would be great to experience her type of positive energy in a live setting once again, especially since the world is in such a dark state right now.

Peace!
