5.0 out of 5 stars A joy to listen to
'A Brief History' has 19 tracks from the 4-CD set 'History', so it's a 'best of the best of...' album. The first track, Bean Fields, is guaranteed to have you tapping your foot or even dancing around the room or car.

You could say the odd track or two is a bit repetitive - for example, Telephone and Rubber Band lasts almost three minutes - but there's always quiet...

3.0 out of 5 stars OK but......
This is not a best of, as the most interesting works seem to be on the individulal CD's. A poor selection.

This review is from: A Brief History (Audio CD)
'A Brief History' has 19 tracks from the 4-CD set 'History', so it's a 'best of the best of...' album. The first track, Bean Fields, is guaranteed to have you tapping your foot or even dancing around the room or car.

You could say the odd track or two is a bit repetitive - for example, Telephone and Rubber Band lasts almost three minutes - but there's always quiet music going on behind the scenes that you have to listen out for to appreciate the full tune. Any like this that you don't like are easily made up for by the others. Others are very tuneful, foot-stomping creations to delight the soul, body and mind. (I'm getting carried away now. Well, at least I should be.)

A delightful album I feel privileged to have in my collection. You'll be so glad you took the plunge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, December 13, 2007
This review is from: A Brief History (Audio CD)
So good that I'm seriously considering dropping the big bucks for the complete History. "Perpetuum Mobile" is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.
