Aion - Dead Can Dance

Advantages: Good music, impressive lyrics and very few weaker tracks
Disadvantages: Barely any, depends on your personal preference. I know of none. :-)

...paced song. In fact, the majority of the song is keyboards and drums, with the guitar providing the occasional riff. Phil's voice is just as good as always. A great, upbeat song. - 9/10 3 - Driving the Last Spike - The tempo is reduced just slightly for this, my favourite song of the album. This ten minute marathon tells the story about the builders of the railroad in England. Excellent keyboard work again by Tony, along with Phil's vocals give us an excellent song. The trademark Phil Collins drums come into the sound just over two minutes into the song, followed shortly by some good guitar work by Mike. This is a brilliant song that almost teases you with it's building up and then slowing down, before it really gets going just short of six minutes in. - 10/10 4 - I Can't Dance - The weakest song of the album isn't terrible...

Where's the Party (dub version) The CD opens with 'Spotlight', a classic Madonna track about overcoming shyness and doing what you want (so familiar Madonna territory there!) and is only avaliable on this album.

This song was always meant for the dancefloor, the song itself being all about losing yourself in the dance, and this remix by Shep Pettibone (who produced Madonna... Read review

...previous albums earlier in the eighties. Yes the first album came in 1983 and was called -'Sophisticated Boom Boom', and on it, their first real hit, a cover of K. C. And The Sunshine Bands 'Thats The Way (I Like It)' . This track was probably 'DoAs' most known single in that year, evan though they had released more singles from the album. Their next album gave 'DoA' global success and made them famus in well, most places in the world. Can you guess which album I'm talking about ??? Come on, its got their biggest (and only) No. 1 on it,.... Yes its 'Youthquake', the album that gave us the No. 1 hit 'You Spin' way back in 1985. Of cours, DoA had released more singles of the album to,... 'In Too Deep', 'Lover Come Back (To Me)' and 'My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me To The Doctor)', but who rememberes (or evan knows) them ???
