All Of Me - Benny Goodman

Advantages: Pumping good quality house at its best!
Disadvantages: it ends

...House music doesn't get much better then this people opening with the hugely popular Sing by praise cats these c.d's are remarkably mixed with a blend of pure genius to put a smile on your face delivering storming tune time and again banassi gets the blend just right to get anyone shaking the booty, with names such as Dave Clarke and who da funk on the track listings the c.d delivers all the way. The first disc starts all nice and up beat and gradually gets heavier until the end although never coming to a point were it becomes to hard its balanced just nicely and is nicely cut up. The second follows the sort of pattern with a good number of brakes on both the cds deliver a serious good mix for any fan of good decent house music, another cracker from Subliminal and Benny! Disc: 1 - 1hr 6mins 41seconds 1. Sing - Andrea Love 2... Read review

Advantages: Brave effort, going quite against the grain at the time
Disadvantages: Some efforts are significantly weaker than the originals

...consciousness as a result of versions by Billie Holliday and Benny Goodman. Yet Ferry shows great invention in his re-making and re-modelling of the track into a quasi-reggae torch song. Ferry's exaggerated vocal delivery, the highpoint of 'A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall', and the downfall of a lot of the material elsewhere on the album, is put to good use here, his disjointed delivery adding to the charm of the song and not detracting from it. There are other high points. 'Don't Ever Change', a song from 1962 by the Crickets, is faithfully rendered, while Ferry's rendition of Lesley Gore's teen-pop anthem 'It's My Party' is frivolous, poppy, lightweight and gender ambiguous, with Ferry retaining the original line of "Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone". Elsewhere, Ferry lays on the irony, exaggeration and camp far too thick to be enjoyed... Read review

Advantages: Best Pac Album ever, some of the greatest song ever
Disadvantages: second disk is a bit iffy compared to the first

...It was Saturday, I had nothing to do, but then I remembered, I was going into Manchester today. Once a month I manage to get away to Manchester with a few buds that I know. The main reason we go to Manchester is to look at the all the horror movies and laugh at the corny titles (it was the bloody judge this time) and buy music. This I was going to buy a horror movie until I saw it.....the greatest album ever. As you all probably know and are bored to death every time I mention it, I love Rap music. To see 2Pac's greatest ever album on sale at £9.99 is an offer I could not refuse. Normally this album can be seen in HMV for around £18.99, so I never bothered buying it. They didn’t even sell it in musiczone, so when I saw it, I was quite amazed. Let me tell you all about this album. After pac was bailed from jail, he was on a mission... Read review
