Review by Whitehall December 22, 2006
Performance:  Sonics (S):
While the sonics are certainly top notch, only a few of the cuts hold my attention. Most of the arrangements are overdone and not at all enjoyable to listen to although the first cut, "String of Pearls" is quite good with great energy.

The vocalists are typically fine artists in their own right and can usually carry the song unless overwhelmed by the orchestra. Without strong vocalists, it just irritates.

This disc shows the dark side of audiophilia - show-off sonics and snoozer music.
