Editorial Review: Album Description: Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. Universal. 2006. Amazon.com essential recording: Songs in the Key of Life (1976) was the highest high point of Stevie Wonder's career. More sprawling than Innervisions and Talking Book, this two-LP-plus-EP was also less of a consistent stunner than either of those masterworks. That Songs retains an enormous amount of visionary relevance, though, is demonstrated not only in Coolio's borrowing of "Pastime Paradise" as a template for "Gangsta's Paradise," but in the cold-as-ice synthesized string quartet of "Village Ghetto Land." This is Stevie, so naturally that cut's anger is balanced by the ultra-buoyant "I Wish," "Sir Duke," and "Another Star." The 2000 reissue boasts radically improved remastered sound. --Rickey Wright Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Six sides of magicIt's a world unto itself. A world of possibilities, of ideas, of dreams and of intimations. It's a world of music, and at times it's a better world than ours. Songs In The Key Of Life is Stevie Wonder's genius in full bloom and on display, in all its ambition and single-mindedness and multifaceted exuberance. Despite the fact that it's absolutely sprawling (in the days of vinyl, it was spread across two full-length LPs and a bonus EP), it has a kind of unity and internal logic that's so strong that even the record's weaker songs seem absolutely necessary. The best songs, meanwhile, are just plain incredible. "I Wish" is a rattled funk monster, and "Village Ghetto Land" is a bitterly ironic piece of social commentary. "Sir Duke" is an ecstatic ...

The seller delivered the cd on time and I will purchase from seller in hthe future. Rating: - a definitive set of compositionsStevie Wonder helps listeners crown him the great American songwriter of post-WWII with "Key of Life." This set of music is a perfect combination of sensitive, meaningful lyrics, memorable melodies, exquisite sound production, and incredible musicianship. (Add in great guest spots from players like Herbie Hancock and George Benson, too.) Certainly we hear great soul music throughout, but the ballads - Love's in Need, I Am Singing, If It's Magic, just to name three - lead this listener to declare Stevie Wonder deserving of recognition for ages and generations to come as one of the greatest American songwriters of all time! Rating: - Songs In the Key of LifeThis album is a master piece! If you are A Stevie Wonder fan and you don't have this CD you're missing out on a true piece of American music history. This is one of the best Albums ever produced. Rating: - The BEST!This CD is probably the best Stevie Wonder has ever made. I remember when it came out and I knew that Stevie was destined to be great forever. I hoped that he would progress from here but I think this CD remains his best work ever. I still think there is more that Stevie Wonder has to give the world in terms of music. I think he can be one of the greatest composers of our time--right up there with Aaron Copeland and Leonard Bernstein. |
