Absolute Funk Vol.3 - Various Artists

Advantages: The grooves go on and on
Disadvantages:

...This latest volume of the New Testament of Funk from Acid Jazz records features some great tracks that cover many different dance genres from, big beat to jazz and hip hop so it is bound to have something to get even the most reticent of dancers moving. Personal favourites are the storming opener "The Piper Cherokee" by The Bobby Hughes Experience, "Amber Flash" by That Girl Lynn and the Latin groove of "Mosquito Coast 2000" from Mr Gone. Special mention should be given to the album closer "Clowns" from E & E Sounds who mix up the Stephen Sondheim classic with some seriously chopped up breakbeats which if you think about it should not really work but does surprisingly well....

Advantages: Bouncy, traditional scots music
Disadvantages: Quite hard to get hold of

...**What Is It?** The Celtic Collection vol. 3 is Ceilidh music. A celidh, by the way, is a dance with only scottish dancing. This CD has 12 tradtional songs so it would be great if your where hosting a Ceilidh or if you just love dancing! This is a one disk CD written by various artists. **Quality of Music?** It is great! It is very clear and you can hear the accordion espiecially well! There is no voice in this and only the main folk instruments accordion,fiddle and a little drums. It is very well recorded so you can put it as loud as you like or a softly as you like and you can still hear it clearly. **Cover Quality** Very nice. Has a celtic not around the edge as a border then a view of the ocean. Think it is Loch lomond but not sure? Anyway very nice picture and the back with the traclist is clear. It does lack color...

Disadvantages: A Few Old Tracks - But Still Classics

...the banging tunes out at the moment and also includes artists that are yet to come big in the UK. The only major problem I have with the album is that some of the tracks are a bit old. Tracks like Bad Boy 4 Life and Got Ur Self A Gun are classics, but have been heard to much. Thankfully he makes up for this by giving us hits that no one else is capable of.
