20 Ways To Float Through Walls [Digipak] - Various Artists

Ashes to Ashes - Lust to Lust!

Advantages: Some good tracks
Disadvantages: Some weak tracks

I'm not usually a big fan of soundtrack CDs. Sometimes they work and the music is evocative of a great film or television series. But often, the music tracks are too varied and you'll find you like some and hate others. But I decided to buy the soundtrack CD to Ashes to Ashes, because the music is integral to the television series and while watching it, I often remarked on how good the music was. Ashes to Ashes is set in 1981 when I was 11-12 and fairly regularly buying singles, so I did think it would be worth buying this album. The 1980s theme of the series is great and it is reproduced well in this CD. The album has twenty songs from the time, plus a couple of short interludes and the theme tune to the TV series. It lasts a total of 69 minutes. The CD is a Digipak version, whereas I really prefer the more sturdy box. It ...

Review of Ashes To Ashes Vol.1 [Digipak] - Various Artists

Back To Love 03.02 - Various Artists

Advantages: Fantastic Full-Length Dance Classics
Disadvantages: A few substandard fillers...

I've got all the Back To Love compilations from Hed Kandi of of "classic tracks that gave birth to a whole generation of clubbers", and was listening to this one (well, both CD's in this double-pack actually) in my car earlier today, so though't I'd let you know what I thought... --- CD1 1. "You're gonna miss me" - Turntable Orchestra (original mix) Classic "italian house" piano, and a great baseline 2. "Love will find a way" - Victor Romeo feat. Latrice Brown Nothing special about this one really, a bit of a filler really... 3. "See the day" - Ann Consuelo (Stonebridge mix) What a vocal ! And more italian piano. 4. "Aftershock" - Slave to the Vibe (12" club mix) Maybe it's this extended 12" mix (that Hed Handi is all about), but I remember this track being much better... 5. "Push the feeling on ...

Review of Back To Love 03.02 - Various Artists

"But they keep coming from wall to wall."

Advantages: Chris Brown is back
Disadvantages: Overly long video

Some of you may have seen my review on Chris Brown's 2005 self-titled album, where he broke through with his debut album as a 16 year old with music that had a broard appeal. Now Chris Brown is back in 2007, and finally of age and able to sing about more 18 year old stuff.. well, if he wanted to that is. 'Wall to Wall' is set to be his comeback single taken off his second album, 'Exclusive', and does it have the same appeal as his first smash hit, 'Run It'? Chris Brown has stated that he wants his second album to appeal to the same audiance as his first, however not to alienate the people growing up with music he has said he will throw a few 'older joints' on to the album. I find 'Wall to Wall' very similar to 'Run It' though, in that it is an easy going party song. I can't say that it hits you as strong as 'Run It' did, although it ...
