Beautiful choral CD, with a haunting mix of recognisable songs/hymns, literary references and huge choruses. Opens to an almost alien chanting and wastes no time in switching seamlessly between languages and styles, from Latin to English and French. Jenkins provides an offering that is almost as polarised as war itself, shifting from peaceful strains to the warlike and fiery. The overall effect is that of tension - the listener is on edge and the respite provided by beautiful tracks such as 'Agnus Dei' is never quite enough to take away the anger and horror conveyed in tracks such as 'Save me from Bloody Men' and 'Angry Flames'. The album ... Read the complete review

A great classical music CD released by Welsh composer and conductor Karl Jenkins, it has 13 different songs/hymns and lasts for about 65 minutes in total. It is only on one CD. Each song is conducted by Karl Jenkins and the bands are The London Philharmonic Orchestra and The National Youth Choir of Great Britain, the CD was recorded in 2000 and released in 2001. The CD was originally dedicated to victims of the Kosovo crisis and the music has a war theme with the CD starting with marching feet marching of to war, as in previous Jenkins work it quickly changes into different languages without any effort. A very good CD for any fans of ... Read the complete review

The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins was released eerily on September 10 2001, is a wonderfully arty album full of beautifully pieced music which is perfect for chilling out to whilst doing some work and just trying to relax on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I came across the album by accident, I was shopping Missing records in the pre-owned section and I decided that I wanted to hear something different from my usual Bon Jovi, U2 and Alterbridge stuff that I normally listen to. Now and again I'll go through phases where I just want something completely different. So when I seen this eye-catching cover at £3.99 I gave it a try and I'm glad I ... Read the complete review

I dont see the point of reviwing albums becuase if someone likes a band they will like all of their music and if they dont like a band why lisitin to them to give them a bad reviw surley this is pointless. Becuase personaly i really dont like this album so this is quite a rubish reviw and a waste of your time if you are reading it. Music is all a matter of opoinon so some people will love some albums and others will hate ablums, why are you commenting on them if you hate them? you have just wasted about 10 mins of your life talking about something you really hate wouldnt pay money for and your trying to pursuade people to do the same as you. Did it ever cross your mind ... Read the complete review
