Rick Wakeman's grandiose early recordings, with full orchestrations, clearly brought him to the attention of film producers over the years. This has resulted in a number of interesting soundtrack albums, both for cinema and TV. "The Burning", a Bob and Harvey Weinstein produced shock horror movie from 1981, was Rick's second soundtrack album, recorded in Queens, New York at The Workshoppe Recording studio, primarily with the musical director Alan Brewer on guitar, studio owner and engineer Kevin Kelly on bass and New York drummer Mike Braun. The soundtrack for the album was a combination of Rick's own compositions and recordings, with additional contributions from Alan Brewer (credited as Alan Brawer) and Alan's wife at that time, Anna Pepper. Kevin Kelly explains, "The soundtrack for the movie itself was recorded over several weeks, primarily just by Rick himself playing something like 100 cues. When it came to the soundtrack album, Rick arranged some of the more frequently used cues in a "prog rock" style into the four pieces that are on side A and these were re-recorded specifically for the album by Rick, Alan, Mike and myself." The released album was therefore literally an album of two sides, not only in the vinyl sense, but also the music it contained. Side A, tracks 1-4 on the CD, are the arrangements of music from the movie, featuring a host of analogue synths favoured by Rick at the time. The signature sounds, and strong band ensemble certainly bring to mind Rick's earlier work 'The Six Wives of Henry VIII' and fans of that album will find a lot to like on Side A. Of particular note, alongside the more familiar Hammond and Moog, is the wonderful Prophet 10 synthesizer, the only recording by Rick to feature it. Rick recalls, "In 1978, Sequential Circuits produced the Prophet 5 keyboard, which was quite revolutionary at the time, being polyphonic. The sounds were "fat" and it was extremely popular amongst keyboard players. Then a few months later they produced the Prophet 10, (version 1), which had all sorts of problems as indeed did version 2, but then in 1980 along came version 3 which was a sensational instrument. My only criticism was that by calling it a Prophet 10, it implied that it was a giant Prophet 5, which is wasn't. It was definitely an instrument in it's own right." "I needed to rent keyboards for the duration of the recording and although I had not seen or heard the version 3 of the Prophet 10, I hired one in and it became the mainstay of all the recordings. I don't think there was a part of the soundtrack, or indeed the soundtrack album, where it wasn't featured. For some strange reason, I never got hold of one for my own rig or studio, which is something I really need to rectify. There are a few about, but version 3s are hard to find." Turning to Side B, this is a mix of shorter pieces that feature in the movie, including the "Campfire Story" about "Cropsy", the film's central character. "The Fire" and "Shear Terror" are reminiscent of the old BBC Sound Effects records that were popular at the time. "Doin' It", penned by Anna Pepper is an upbeat country rock number that is certainly at odds with the rest of the tracks. And the atmosphere then moves to "full on" country hoe-down, with the Alan Brawer played track "Devil's Creek Breakdown" - neither of these last two tracks would you expect to hear on an album of Rick's! Kevin Kelly recalled one of the techniques they used for the cues that can be heard on Side B. "The director asked Rick to support the acting and editing, meaning that if a scene wasn't scary enough, to use the music soundtrack to make it scarier. This was of course back in the days of analogue tape and for one specific scene Rick asked me to mark the tape with a click at the exact point where the moonlight glints on the knife blade. Then to place an additional four clicks leading up to that point. Finally adding four clicks after the main one. The tape was then turned over and Rick played a chord and told me to fight the decay by raising the recording level as the sound dropped off to try to keep it constant. He then did the same thing on four more open tracks to layer the sound. The tape was then put back to normal and some clavinet and brass sounds were added after the cue point. So here's what happened, you had this guy walking through the woods where the director wanted to heighten the suspense and you had these creepy, organic piano sounds building up, not fading down because they were reversed. This build-up of all the piano overtones went on for about a minute, not sounding like piano at all and then at the moment of the glint, the crashing brass sound scared the crap out of you. I'd never seen this technique used anywhere before and it just showed how inventive Rick really was. He used the medium in an insanely creative way!"

A Frother that Won't Turn Off? Great Service. Lost Package. Great Hot Chocolate. Worth It!
Color: Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
I saw this item (or one similar) on an Alton Brown short video. He recommended a frother and I thought "what the heck? If AB recommends a uni-tasker, it must be something good." The item came in, loaded with batteries and all. I removed the plastic tab that interrupts the power and the unit kicked on. I wasn't pressing anything. It just started and would not stop. To return the item is not worth the time or money, especially since none of the "free return" options are anywhere close to me. Called the company and told them what had happened. I spoke with a very nice woman and after I described what happened, her response was not faux sympathy, but "that shouldn't have happened. We'll make it right." She offered not only to replace the unit, but send a second one free of charge. When I declined the second one, she said "take it for your troubles. Give it to a friend if you want." The order was sent out. Tracking via USPS was sent. The package was supposed to be delivered on a Friday, which was great as we were supposed to get cold temps and snow. I was anticipating making frothy hot chocolate. Suddenly the tracking showed the package being delivered. It was not. You cannot ask the USPS to find a package for 7 days and my local post office doesn't answer the phone. Disappointed, I started to make dinner and looked out the window and I could see my postal carrier's truck a block away. I waddled over to the truck and talked to her. She said "I know where it is." She had delivered it 3 blocks away. Same house number, but different street. She went and found the package, brought it to me and Bob's your uncle. That night I made hot chocolate and used the frother. I was surprised that the long shaft did not vibrate or waiver. It stays true. The speed is fast, but not overly so. The thing made a difference. It seemed to make the hot chocolate "lighter" and smoother. I threw a piece of chocolate in the mug, waited a little and then frothed again using the frother. No issues with the frother. I now had frothy, really chocolate-ly hot chocolate. For kicks and on the advice of a friend, I added a tablespoon of peppermint schnapps and used the frother again. Best hot chocolate from a mix I ever had. The frother worked better than advertised. Woo Hoo!! Because the first one didn't work, I have to knock a star off of the rating for the product. But the customer service and actual accountability of the women with whom I spoke is refreshing in the world of product support and customer service. The item is really good and would recommend whole heartedly.

Worth it!
Color: Absolute Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
It works great! Makes a big difference and my coffee is better! Easy to use and clean. The stand is perfect to keep it accessible. Only thing I would warn customers is to pay attention to instructions on how to insert batteries.

High Quality and Surprisingly Powerful
Color: Absolute Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
The Pros: Unexpected Power: I usually know exactly what to expect with the products I order, but this unit really blew me away. It is surprisingly powerful and handles everything much better than I anticipated. Premium Batteries Included: It was a great surprise to find that it came with Duracell batteries. Seeing a name-brand battery included really speaks to the overall quality of the product and shows they aren't cutting corners. Solid Build: From the moment I set it up, the unit felt sturdy and well-constructed. It is rare to be this genuinely pleased with a purchase right out of the box. The Cons: Operating Noise: Because the motor is so powerful, it does produce a bit more noise than some weaker units. It isn't a dealbreaker, but it is noticeable during extended use. Bottom Line: This is a high-quality product that exceeded my expectations in both performance and presentation. The fact that it comes ready to go with reliable batteries is a huge plus. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Pleasantly surprised.
Color: Absolute Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
Honestly, I bought this because it was on sale and I needed to add something to my cart to get one day free shipping. I had zero expectations and thought I'd use it when I travel and won't have access to my espresso machine but I'm blown away by what it can accomplish in its small form factor. It took 30s to froth the milk and it was well-incorporated into the milk, not with just foam on top and milk at the bottom. I could have the frothed milk all day. It's easier to clean than the steam wand and it does plant-based milk cold foam!! It blows the Ikea one out of the water for about the same price point. Glad I stumbled into it!

Works great for daily use, just be prepared to replace batteries
Color: Absolute Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
I use this every morning to mix protein powder into my coffee, and it works well. It is quick, easy to use, and does a great job blending everything smoothly without clumps. For the price, it’s a great little tool and has definitely been worth it for daily use. The only downside is that I do have to replace the batteries fairly often, about every 3–4 weeks with regular use. Overall, it’s a very convenient and effective frother, especially for the cost. I would recommend it, just keep extra batteries on hand if you plan to use it daily.
