CD Reviews

A Great Disapointment

Paul Foley | 08/25/2005

(1 out of 5 stars)

"My comments only apply to the Classical Gas Album. There is too much Australian Philharmonic and too little Tommy Emmanuel. The recording sounds like the microphone was hidden in someone's pocket. It has little dynamic range and the sounds are muffled. I have a track of Tommy playing Classical Gas which I recorded off of FM radio which is far superior in performance and sound than the track on this album."

Classical Gas?!?! Please...

"Listening to the arrangement of "Classical Gas" evokes an image that could easily be taken directly from "The Simpsons": A 90-piece orchestra, probably performing in an outdoor amphitheater in front of a crowd of 60-somethings, laser lights, and Tommy Emmanuel delivering quite possibly the cheesiest performance in history. The guy is a decent player, no doubt, but it's hard to take him seriously as a musician with this garbage. After the intro when those electric guitars enter, it's hard not to either laugh or groan.

I also agree with the other review regarding the lousy sound. This was recorded in 1995, not 1945, so you'd expect something a little better production-wise. If I were Tommy Emmanuel, I'd be embarrassed to have this recording in my catalog. This is the kind of thing you'd expect to find in the $3.99 bin at Wal Mart."
