Ah, Beri, Berry, Berri, Bery, the man of many names. He has been featured on a slew of Cds recently(Oorah, A.K.A.pella, His own Cd, and this!), constantly singing at chasunas, and is quickly rising to be one of JM's most popular singers. I am only reviewing the accapella version due to sefirah, so just keep that in mind. Farbreng is all about Beri (that's what he's called on the cover so that's what he will be called for now). I felt the whole thing was another way to boost his popularity and let it be known to the world the sound and range of his voice. It works. The accapella version is kosher according to all standards (not to say that A.K.A.pella isn't....but it isn't), and very similar to "Miami Around the Campfire" in concept (there is a crackling fire the entire time..... yes, the entire time). I don't think Miami was such a hit, probably because it's a choir and not a voice, Beri is a voice, and a beautiful one at that, so I'm gonna guess it will be a hit. Another thing you should know is that this is basically another Project Relax when it comes to song selection. Due to that last fact I will not delve into each song rather give a short, informative opinion on each of the 23 tracks.

Esa Einai- Interesting intro with Beri raising his pitch for the first 30 seconds. The "kumzitz guys" come in middle of that, and are always singing different timing than Beri. That continues throughout the song, probably to give it a more kumzitzy (not a word but you get the point) feel. 4 out of 5

Anachnu Bnei Avraham- Starts off with the men's choir, sounding a lot more put together here. Beri comes in the background about ten seconds later, sounds nice. He does harmony on the choir after that showing off his abilities as a singer again. 4 out of 5

Niggun Laufer - Nice niggun, nothing special, but nice. This song is more focused on the kumzitz than Beri but is a sweet niggun anyhow. 3 out of 5

Kol Haolam Kulo - Ah! Back to Beri! A classic song with a little chassidishe zing to it, love the little whoops in between. 4 out of 5

Malachei Rachamimi - Begins with the choir again but you have got to hear Beri with his little "ooh ooh"s. The song is another old chassidishe song, O.k. but not a favorite. 3 out of 5

Racheim Na - The actual song isn't so great but the last minute is beautiful. Very funny ending with the kumzitz guys continuing, the chevra goes "Neeee! Shhhhhh!! Genug Shoin!"

Elokeinu - Starts off with Beri singing, the choir is a little off again (they do it a lot for, again, the kumzitzy feel). Beri brings this song to a new dimension with his phenomenal voice(if you can't tell yet, I'm a fan) I love it! 5 out of 5

Im Amarti - Too long for a song like this which struck me as a regular filler song. It's not bad but it's not good (I believe it lies somewhere in between, "bood"). 3 out of 5

Te Bi Koach - Mmm... so good. from the beggining to the end, from Beri to the kumzitz harmony, from Beri's speech in Yiddish in between to....to...to... Okay I don't know what else but I was swept by this song. 5 out of 5

Koach (no Ten Bi involved) Actually there is at the end but whatever. The beginning is a bit rusty and the clapping is strange, but I do like the song and the "Koach Koach Koach" part is pretty pumping. 3 out of 5

Anim Zemiros - Don't like it. But Beri. 3 out of 5 (that was easy)

Bein Haulam - Another long filler song. Why? I don't know but I can't figure it out. I still love Beri though so... 2 out of 5 (okay I'm not that generous)

Yehai Rava - It wasn't good the first time around, but it gets to you, try it. I noticed the sweetness of the song itself and how it was sung the second time so give it a bit of faith. 4 out of 5

Shifchi Kamayim - I love how Beri does this Carlebach song, very similar to the way Chevra does it, excluding Grstner's way of introducing it. Very nice. 5 out of 5

Shabbos Hu - Starts with the kumzitz but then focuses on Beri after that till the end when the song reverts it's focus back to the chevra. Not bad, not bad at all (awesome would be over-reacting). 4 out of 5

Ein Aroch - What would a kumzitz be without Ein Aroch? (the right answer would be not a kumzitz) Beri sings it litvock(regular) style for us and, yes he can do that also. Beri shows he can not only hit the highs, but does a great job on the lows also. 5 out of 5

Nishmas - Sorry die-hard Kessin or Gertner fans, this is the other Nishmas. Yehuda Green's beautiful composition makes the cut on here and is presented by Beri quite remarkably. Note that Beri drops his usual chassidishe havarah for this song also. I love it! 5 out of 5

Nein - I thought it was called Aheim but I guess this works also. I personally like the other accapella one, (its free btw just click the link http://www.mostlymusic.com/aheimaccapella-p-4247.html ) it's still good though so don't say nein to this track!(Yes, I am well aware of how corny that was but the title was asking for it.) 4 out of 5

Im Eshkochech - I'm pretty sure this is also Yehuda Green's, and I've got to hand it to Beri, It's so good I almost (almost) cried. The selection was a good choice for the kumzitz scene and they did a great job on it. 5 out of 5

Inveih - Ending off on a high note, this more "up-tempo" song is an ideal end for a smooth ride through the average kumzitz (round' a campfire?). The singing fades out and the Cd is over. The repeat button should be on the left side of your Cd player. 4 out of 5

Quick Hit - The song selection was not the best but the singing was heart wrenching and soulful. Beri sang with all his passion and the chevra followed suit. I loved the Cd and is a buy if you want a Project Relax: Sefirah Edition plus a music edition. 8 out of 10
