    response to matthewcadarette: yanni's aw

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 14, 2003 | 3 out of 3 found this Ethnicity review helpful

    what kind of crackhead would actually call yanni's music boring??!?!?!?!?!If you think his music is a bunch of 4 measure repeats and hasn't evolved, over a period of 20 years, you must be a very miserable person because music just doesn't get much be...tter. ...and what's wrong with a major 2nd modulation? If you're calling the general audience strange for responding to it, then you must be the queer one, since you're just one against 50 million. Based on your review, i doubt you could even play 4 measures and repeat it 300 times(even tho that isn't what yanni does). Or maybe your ear just can't handle the awesomeness of Yanni. You think ure so smart, matthew?Ure a dumb@$$!1. Yanni doesn't write in 5/4 time. 2. I'd like to see you hire an orchestra, you peon of a man who calls yourself a critic...3. And if you got an orchestra, i'd like to see what you could do with it. Reading your review, it wouldn't get any better than a middle school orchestra sound. 4. And if Yanni hired clowns, you'd be a part of his ensemble by now.5. Non-threatening modes? Do you even know how many of his works go up to 4 or 5 flats? You try to impress us with your musical technobabble jargon, hahahha. doens't work on me. i'm smarter. And as for my review of Ethinicity...It is dynamic, it is different, it is exciting, it is unquestionably Yanni. The best thing about Yanni's new albums is that you don't know what to expect because his style is always changing. I especially enjoy Rainmaker, where Yanni uses the aboriginal didgeridoo as a rhythmic instrument to give a tribal flavor. Highlights also go to Almost a Whisper and The Promise, where lyrics were added to previously composed works. However, the most dynamic element in the album is the use of electronic instruments indigenious of techno/trance and the increased use of bass drum, which is also original to techno/trance. Many sound effects commonly associated with electronica are used, and in Play Time, overdriven distorted guitars can be heard in the background along with the other electronic instruments.Also surprising, is the extensive use of the female voice. Althought he may have potentially overdone this, it does add a spirtual taste to the entire album. And, for the first time, Yanni is putting in a little touch of Irish music along with the oriental accents that are present (I would kno cuz i'm Chinese). I am really looking forward to his 2003/04 tour. Based on what I have heard, it is supposed to be the best tour yet. Read more Less

    One of my top three Yanni albums

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 20, 2005

    Pros: Everything

    Cons: Nothing

    Yanni's Tribute, If I Could Tell You, and Ethnicity are the top 3 favorite CDs I have in a collection of over 400. I have chemo 2 times a week. By the time day #2 rolls around, I'm wiped. I leave my living room in complete darkness overnight.... I have 6 CD's, all Yanni, in my cartridge for my CD player. The headphones go on and I sleep with several dozen of the best songs known to man playing through my head. THAT is how I have guts enough to go through Day 2 the next week. Read more Less

    Pros: Very relaxing

    Cons: none

    I absolutely loved this CD. I heard it performed live. It is so much better live but it is still great reproduced. Any Yanni fan will love it. The Aborigine flare it has is also a nice plus.

    Yanni was great at the March 6th , Tampa concert. Make it your point to see him live and you will have a wonderful evening out.

    Yanni, Thank you for a great concert.

    Overrated as usual

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 17, 2003

    What does Yanni do??? Besides have cosmetic surgery... Charlie Adams (drums) is beyond belief. Violins excellent! But to the music, once again, Neo-hippie drivel! Like Yanni is saying look at me and how good I am... Everbody knows that the Cham...elion days were his best. How many scale runs and one man put in a "song"? Read more Less

    not surprising for yanni

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 12, 2003

    This CD is just pure awesomeness!This CD, along with is sparkly production, as one of his best and most unique. I particularly liked the way he incorporates "techno" into some of his songs.The lyrics for Almost a Whisper are wonderful, they still sen...d shivers up my spine.There is so much more i could say about this album, but you really just have to hear for yourself in order to believe the coolness of this cd.

    AWESOME!!!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 11, 2003

    I just bought this ablum this afternoon and I have yet to take it out of my CD player! After hearing this CD and seeing the DVD that was included in the package deal, I am more than ready to see Yanni in concert in May in Green Bay! This album is m...ore colorful than the other albums. This has a lot of vocals just like in the Tribute album but I think this one tops that one! ENJOY! Read more Less
