Aboriginal Beats (3 CDs Of Chillout Moods From Australia) - Various Artists

Advantages: Upbeat, Reflective
Disadvantages: None!

...I bought this CD expecting it to be like all the other relaxation CDs on the market however I realise now how wrong I was. The three CDs offer a variety of interesting and reflective songs which are perfect for meditating to. If I am in a bad mood I can guarantee that just by switching on one of these CDs I will instantly feel more cheerful. The only disadvantage would be that some of the songs are slightly too long and repetitive but this hardly matters compared to the fantastic music offered on the CDs. The CDs are also great value considering you are getting 3 CDs for less than a fiver! Overall, I would definately recommend the CDs for anyone looking for a slightly more upbeat version of the original relaxation album.... Read review

Advantages: insert opinion here
Disadvantages: the long wait until volume 2

...later you hear the first words. I just love the first minute of this song, don’t get me wrong, the rest is good but the start is amazing. 9/10 3. Blur - Song 2 - 2:01 Possibly, the most heard song ever. This appears everywhere, in adverts, when a team scores, when someone is really happy, anytime. It starts with a drum beat then guitar the very famous, WOO HOO, WOO HOO! All in all, it deserves its place in the album. 8/10 4. Aerosmith and Run DMC - Walk This Way - 3:37 This is a very famous song that appeals to Aerosmith fans and Run DMC fans (who apparently have different tastes in music.) The video (not included) sees the two artists battle it out playing the song live. It is a great song and a personal favourite of mine. The guitar music is not as prominent as in other tracks but who cares; it is a great track. 10/10 5... Read review

Advantages: A great relaxation Album
Disadvantages: Erm, some awful songs

...I like to try new things out, listen to new genres of music and watch different styles of movies. I did not by any means of the word 'chillout', actually think it would be an album that I would listen to or rather relax to for many hours, but to my great surpise it is. I am 16 going on 17, the fact that I am listening to 'chillout' music is a great shock, i thought it was only the type of music that overweight management executive yuppy types endure or rather enjoy, i was wrong. This album contains songs made famous by many influential artists and groups. For example it contains songs by bands such as Westlife (Flying Without Wings) although i absolutely loath the band and to be quite honest the song too and The Corrs (Runaway, Erin Shore) and artists such as Enya (May It Be) and Charlotte Church (Carrickfergus). The actual people who... Read review
