Review title: Great Repitoire, Mediocre Performance Product review: I am a big fan of the Holst and Grainger on this album, and I appreciated the introduction to the Schmitt. However, I was sorely disappointed at the amateurish sound of the ensemble. While I did not note any mistakes per se, the balance of the group, as well as the sound of the individual instruments, was not up to the standard I would have expected from a national military band. (I guess I've been spoiled by the high quality of the US armed forces ensembles.) If you want a recording of both the Holst and the Grainger, spend the extra money and get discs where they're recorded separately, and better.
Ans: decrease

Review title: Bike adapter worked just fine Product review: This bike frame adapter did exactly what it was supposed to and was shipped and received in a timely fashion. Thule should, in my opinion, supply bike adaptors with their hitch carriers free of charge, or at the very least be more women- and child-friendly by posting warnings that these bikes will not fit the carrier without an adaptor.

Review title: Designer Product review: I needed to connect a new Vista 64 computer (parallel port-less) to a legacy (Designjet 220 usb & network-less) engineering plotter. A replacement plotter would have cost several thousands of dollars. Two 16' Tripp Lite cables (without an additional power source) did the trick. Works flawlessly.

Review title: Review of Albinoni, Pachebel, Herbert von Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Product review: A superb CD. I am not a great fan of Albinoni's Adagio, but would recommend this CD simply on the basis of the performance of Gluck's "Dance of the Blessed Spirits". The playing captures the tranquility and serenity of the piece wonderfully. The Mozart is also performed with aplomb.
