Alone - Nana Mouskouri

Advantages: Some brilliant music
Disadvantages: Depends on your taste.

...Sung strongly and with passion. 5. Massenet: meditation from Thais - Kennedy at 5.38 this is truly a piece of music to lose yourself into especially if you like to daydream or meditate. I find it incredibly spiritual and calming. 6. Fratello Sole - Filippa Giordano - Calming and leads on perfectly from the last track. 7. Verdi: Di quella Pira - Placido Domingo - awake again this is from 11 Trovatore. Domingo has such a powerful voice. 8. The Quarry (From Enigma) John Barry - A calming and pleasantly repetitive tune. 9. O Mio babbino caro - Renee Fleming - 10.

Advantages: Nice and easy to listen to.
Disadvantages: Good but not Great.

...McFly is a band made out of 4 teenage guys, their music is a mix of old music and rock. Their music is OK you can pick it up and listen to it straight away. The Room on the Third Floor album is good but not my favourite. They are not very original a bit Bustedy and Beach Boyey may sound good to some people but may be aweful in reality. All The Songs are about girls all being to good for them. a couple of the tracks sound countryish and most of it is not to my taste at all. The Tracks on The CD are : Five Colours in her Hair, Obviously, That Girl, Room on the Third Floor, She Left Me, Saturday Night, Hypnotyzed, Surfer Babe, Not Alone, Brocolli, Down By The Lake and Unsaid things. They have recently been branded as Surfer Rock a brand new genre of music, onw thing I will say is the McFly boys make a good chorus but spoil there songs... Read review

...-writers , three alone with Mary Chapin Carpenter. Other collaborators include Gary Burr and Kim Richey! The collection comprises a wide variety on the 12 tracks, all solid and extremely catchy overall serving as a most suitable platform for her talents. The album is produced by Steuart Smith who also plays the accordion,guitar,bouzouki,mandolin and organ on most of the tracks - he is a rare performer himself.He certainly makes his mark felt. And what of the individual tracks themselves? Just a few thoughts about them. Track 1 - NO FEAR.......A Clark/Chapin one. Excellent choice to begin with.Good guitar,distinctive lyrics and very catchy. This is reputedly Terris favourite track. Track 2 - SOMETIMES GOODBYE.......Very good vocals coupled with top class backing of banjo and mandolin.Listen to the words on this one particularly....."I want to call... Read review
