A-raok Mont Kuit - Gilles Servat

Advantages: Great triple CD
Disadvantages: None

...Waggle is not really out of place on this album, being Hancock at his modern jazz best. Other tracks include Mory Kante's Yeke Yeke, Lekah Babalola's Oya, Denns Ferrer's Funu, Maw with Time is Now, Area F's Akumbe (the original mix) Soothsayer's Follow Your Path (remix) Massak's rather intriguingly named B.L.A. Part 1 (Part 1), D J Food's remixed Dub Lion, Mamu Dibango's Soul Makossa, !Knuf's An Der Beat, Fela Kuit's Ako, Quantic's Use What You Got, Hugh Masekela's Don't Go Lose It Baby (12 inch version), Fela Kuti's Obe and Ghetto Blaster's Na Waya. Oddly enough whilst the track listings for CD 1 showup, there are no track listings for CD 2. There's also a third, bonus CD, called Afro Chill with 17 tracks to chill out to. The CD costs £15.99 and is available via Amazon and is on Family Records.... Read review

...Reba McEntire has been famous on the country music circuit for a long time now. She has an outstanding voice and has recorded some excellent songs over the years. To showcase her talent and her many hits, the album entitled 'moments and memories, the best of..' was released and contains 20 of Reba's finest songs. These include:- Rumor has it, does he love you, it's your call, you lie, till you love me, and still, why haven't i heard from you and the heart won't lie ( a lovely duet with another popular country singer Vince Gill).

Asa result, The Jam made a slow climb back to popularity with two hit singles, a cover of the Ray Davies song David Watts and Down In The Tube Station At Midnight. This angry and moving song - about a vicious racial attack - was released in October 1978, and scaled to number 15... Read review
