Africa - Witchcraft And Ritual Music From East Africa - Various Artists

Advantages: Comprehensive, up-to-date, well researched
Disadvantages: cumbersome to carry

...therefore do rather push you towards taking organised tours everywhere. The guides are well-written and researched - and I find excellent reading for the time you spend at the airport waiting for a flight to leave. Whilst there are some ready-made suggested itineraries, I have never used them, partially because I have always had a very finely tailored itinerary to allow me to fit in a variety of activities in a very short time (I usually only head down to South Africa for a fortnight at a time). There are some very interesting sections - e.g. a brief colour session on wildlife and various boxes about the history of the country, aspects of life in Southern Africa. Because of their comprehensive nature, and widespread coverage, I am unlikely to ever read the guide cover to cover - instead using it to focus on the places I want to go to, rather... Read review

Advantages: A few scarface film samples
Disadvantages: Nearly the whole thing

...Many people have been influenced by the scarface film and the rap genre has especially referenced to it man songs. This is now an official compilation of songs with money, power and respect themes. as you would imagine, all are rap.

None appear in the film but there are samples and dialouge used from the picture. Tracks Its Mine - Mobb Deep & Nas. Scarface cues used as the sample in this one which was originally put t ogether in 99. A good relevant track to start the album Yeo - Cam'ron. Samples Rush Rush which is used in the film, rush rush get the yayo may be more familiar. best bit about the song is actually the sample with cam'rons raps not adding much but loads... Read review

Advantages: sweet fragrance
Disadvantages: none

...The sweet smell of africa is now yours, although i suspect lynx africa smells alot nicer than real africa (no one wants to spray themselves with something that smells like elephant poo.) The design of the lynx deodarant really is slick, I love the twisty top which rotates up and down the top of the spray, and the press at the top looks like its taken off a sci fi spaceship death button. I love the printing on the spray, the three stripes which resemble a lions cut, with lynx in the middle. and the colours of red and green represent africa perfectly and of course with a black background its got all the same colours as the kenyan flag. The fragrance is quite sweet for a deodarant, many other brands burn your nose off when you smell them and make you want to run to the window for fresh air, but lynx africa is pleasant to smell, you...
