ALA - Wunmi

Advantages: Real racing music.
Disadvantages: Only one minute.

...You can listen to this album and appreciate the terrific vocals, the changes in mood, the wonderful guitar playing, but all of that is forgotten when halfway through The Chain you hear it! Yes, the theme music from the BBC Grand Prix programme!!! Alas, now the F1 Grand Prix’s races are shown on ITV we don’t hear the “real” music, but I know for most of us F1 fans this is still the one and only theme for F1. If you are listening to this album in your car then The Chain adds at least 20mph to any speed you are driving, if on the open road. You will automatically reach for the volume control and turn it right up. Alas, the “good” bit is less than one minute long, but that is why they included rewind buttons on cassette players. Wait for the green light, it’s go, go go!... Read review

Advantages: Discovering lyrics of Wildean genius
Disadvantages: Not all that popular

...I find it hard to believe that nobody has felt the need to write about Morrissey here at ciao.com yet. The musical master behind the Smiths has been sadly ignored of late, despite continuing success with world tours. Maladjusted was Morrissey's last proper release - besides a B-Sides collection released earlier this year - but fan everywehere doubt it will be his last. Being the reason behind many people's existence, it all we have to hold on to. Alas, I've only seen him once, at the Leeds Two and Country Club in November 1999. I can honestly say this was one of the most incredible nights of my entire life. Words can't do it justice, so I won't even try to. Whay don't you find out for yourself.... Read review

Advantages: Amazing Hippie flash backs...
Disadvantages: Sometimes a little TOO Hippie for my liking

...OK, this guy is my favourite artist of the moment. After Seeing the Amazing Key of C video on MTV I got hooked. And I hated all the hippie stuff! But, alas, this is different. All the music is done by Jim himself. His lyrics are amazing and so clever!! The music is also very clever. It's like a mix of the 60's, 70's and now, all mashed up, and stuck in a blender. And it makes the best Music Smoothie! From songs about computers crashing to kicking footballs over fences! I don't think even Jim knows what he created! It's just so different to anything I've ever heard before! My personal Fave songs are Eanie Meanie, Key of C and Computer song. -[Tracklistings]- My Patch I Me You I'm Your Computer Song How To Be So Real Eanie Meany Tower of Love In the Key of C Turbulent Weather Turn Your Frown into a Smile A Quiet Man...
