...a fantastic album featuring performances by nirvana from all over the world and it sounds as fresh as on any of the albums. You can really hear the drummer giving it some as the zip through the songs all at 100 miles per hour. 17 tracks always good value for a Compact Disc all the famous tracks are on this one unlike unplugged, and dont think its gonna sound like unplugged neither this is Nirvana banging out the melodies with all the amps turned up to the max. A must for all nirvana files....

Advantages: One of her best albums Disadvantages: Too 'weird' for some
...With The Dreaming, Kate Bush took a mammoth leap, producing something of dark beauty and meticulous madness. Her previous set Never Forever, was an admirable leap back into the mainstream after the low-key affair of Lionheart. Here though, she really muddies the waters.

Another song i find myself putting on repeat is 'Days before rock n roll'. This song has some strange poetic lyrics sort of spoken by a guy called Paul Durcan very well complimented by Vans vocals on the chorus. This song is up beat and but still quite mellow with a lot of name dropping of people such as John Lee Hooker, MuddyWaters and loads more as well as all the old radio stations. This song is very much about Vans childhood, spent listenening to the radio and the new songs from over the seas....magic!!
If you are looking for some classic Van the man, a cd packed full of easy listening tunes that will suit almost...
