Editorial Review:

Amazon.comLike a human infusion of chamomile tea, hearing Van Morrison's voice has the effect of instantly soothing even the most stressed listener. That said, some of his releases have been so mellow that they muted the '60s soul influences that had been a part of Van's appeal. Not so with Magic Time, a wonderful balance of groove and smoothness, with a 'live off the floor' feel evident throughout the disc. Right from the start 'Stranded' shows Van at his crooner best--relaxed, present, and joyful. 'Celtic New Year' comes next with a very Astral Weeks feel, leading one to believe that this disc might be sedentary through and through… until 'Keep Mediocrity at Bay' kicks in, a feisty blues romp proving that though in his sixties, Morrison still has the sass of his best previous days. Morrison's cover of Sinatra's brassy 'This Love of Mine' and Perry Como's 'I'm Confessin'' are full of cheek and charm. Morrison-as-producer has chosen stellar horn sections that elevate the music from good to great and come from an obvious deep love of classic blues and soul. He's a lover and a fighter (the disc has two references to his disdain of the music industry: 'They Sold Me Out' and 'Carry On Regardless'), but ultimately true to his own musical vision. This destined-to-be-classic release will please a wide variety of his fans. --Denise Sheppard

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A lot to like
I'm not really familiar with the career of Van Morrison or many of his recordings, but I was completely taken with this terrific collection of songs. Morrison has a smokey, bluesly delivery here that is tremendously appealing. My favorite tracks are "Stranded," and "Greta Garbo," but there aren't any losers on the whole CD. Highly recommended.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An eclectic mix of soul, jazz and blues
Van Morrison never fails to put across an intimate feel with his music. It seems to place you in a smoke filled juke joint somewhere in middle america, or in an upscale jazz club in some big city the moment you listen to it. His distinctive vocals always deliver the heart of the piece he is performing. This collection is exceptionally good, not one track you will likely skip during playtime. Well done...


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's Magic
An excellent CD , in fact I'm listening to it now. His just like Greta is worth the price but most of the songs are great. An excellent purchase.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The "Old" Van Morrison
Great CD if you like the mellower roots of Van Morrison. Easy listening and terrific pace for those who appreciate the genius of Morrison.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pretty darn good
Van Morrison keeps re-inventing himself. There are maybe 6-7 excellent songs on this recording, and I just love the mumbling, lazy voice he uses on a few songs. He plays his voice like a finely tuned instrument. There are several songs though, that he could have left out. But those are easy to take care of, if you've got an MP3 player...

Adobe-Macromedia: Separating Fact from Fiction

The proposed acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe is not a done deal. Both companies are under the scrutiny of the SEC, and it must also be approved by stockholders. While Macromedia/Adobe gives this process three to nine months, some industry analysts feel that is being overly optimistic. But assuming that all is goes as planned, Macromedia will cease to exist. Everything will be in the Adobe name and with the Adobe interface.
