 Ethereal, Epic, Moving - NOT
Submitted on: 2009-07-28 |

There is nothing at all clever about it. The original songs had far more subtlety than this adolescent exercise. After a montage of stereotypical "middle east" noises, the music on Kashmir begins with a solo violin seemingly attempting to imitate Robert Plant's voice in an awkward dinky phrase that repeats and repeats without variation. Very annoying. The orchestra throughout the rest of the ordeal is wasted on only two functions: rumbling slumber and flatulent orgasm. I hope the brave and hapless musicians were fairly compensated for their time. The star is for them.
Anyone remember the old Monkeyshines calenders that featured chimpanzees in various human clothing, settings and poses? In one of them, A carpenter chimp has apparently just completed a big stupid project (like this CD) and the caption reads, "Well, at least I used all the tools." |

 Kashmir and Company form an Ethereal Trip
Submitted on: 2009-03-10 |

| Kashmir: The Symphonic Led Zeppelin (1997) is a very good treatment of several Led Zeppelin songs done instrumentally by the London Philharmonic Orchestra -- finding an instrumental tribute to Led Zeppelin is difficult and this is the one that you should definitely look into, it will be worth your investment. Kashmir is the highlight on the album, but the set taken together form an ethereal trip through the spaces of your mind -- it's both dark and visionary. This is a great album to kick back and let your imagination run wild. |

good stuff (but you will still want the real LZ)

| I have become convinced that the less an orchestral, solo piano or jazz version of a rock song imitates the original, the better it will be. This music does not slavishly follow the LZ originals (except for Kashmir, where the original is already symphonic) and works really well. Some of comes across as "Lord of the Rings" type music, in other places it is sort of Ralph Vaughn Williams pastoral. This type of CD is caught between LZ fans and people who like Lord of the Rings music and Ralph Vaughn Williams - it doesn't seem likely to please to please either type of person for long. But I like it enough to keep it on my iPod. |

| Jimmy Page kept me interested even when the first time I heard him with Led Zeppelin was on AM. radio---Now with hearing another rendition of his style played by a Symphony..I was very delighted to hear how well the power of the Led zeppelin sound can still be heard this way. |
