Afterglow 61 EP - Son Volt

Afterglow-Crowded House

Advantages: Really nice collection of misc/b-sides and unreleased songs.Lyrically v.good and musically catchy.
Disadvantages: Hard to place this album in terms of genre/era/date-has a disorientating feel.

After they split up, Crowded House decided they had some really strong B-Sides and extra songs that didn't really get the credit they deserved. They decided to reform to make Afterglow-the home of the B-Sides and unreleased songs that couldnt fit onto any other albums. Although the album flows really well it does sometimes give you this feeling that it doesnt really know where its going or where it has been and it feels hard to assign an era/genre or date this album. This could be because most of the material was recorded between 1985 and 1994. Although this album is really for the die hard fans who will know where to place this album and really appreciate the completion of sets of themes in the flow of their album history, this album can also appeal to new fans. This album has some real jewels like 'Sacred Cow', the really funny ...

Review of Afterglow - Crowded House

Creative EP-630

Advantages: Simply Excellent
Disadvantages: None

Creative EP-630 I have recently tried creative EP-630 and it cost a quarter of a similar pair of Bose phones that I'd normally go for. Ordering from their website couldn't be easier and the site is locked for security of payments. The ear pads are rubber and far more comfortable to the ears. The design is by far more ergonomically and causes less stress to the ears. The sound is by far the real selling point however and is a stunning and enhanced listening pleasure. The volume on my MP3 is extraordinarily loud but the quality does not fall away and wobble/ scratchiness are simply not there, even at full volume. The bass tones are very deep and you made need to lighten them up with a little more treble. The sound in general is very crisp. The cord is very long which is a bonus as I run on road and on the treadmill ...

Review of Creative EP 630

EP-630, Good Quality - Cheap Price

Advantages: Cheap and Brilliant Quality Sound
Disadvantages: Common problem with sound going in one of the earphones.

I bought these Creative EP-630 earphones after I had the Sony MDR-EX71SLB Fontopia earphones for about 2 years and was really impressed by them apart from the rubber on the wire. It felt very flimsy and cheap and if you rolled the cable in your fingers you could feel the wire moving about. When they were about 18 months old the rubber started breaking and exposed bare wire. These earphones were £26 when I bought them and for only 2 years worth I thought this was a bit expensive, so I started looking for good quality cheap ones. While in the process looking for new earphones, people were recommending the Creative EP-630 as a brilliant all rounder with great sound and good quality for a brilliant price. In the end I bought some for around £6-7, this price is available from a few online shops. I have now owned these earphones for over ...
