Advantages: A good mix of songs Disadvantages: Doesnt help you get through the housework
...A cd thats a couple of years old now but still fun to listen to.
I mean this cd says its meant to help you through the housework but I personally dont think it really does,if anything it distracts you,because you just start singing along to all the great tracks this album has to offer, you get caught up in the music and completely lose track of what you were doing - maybe a good thing in a way :-)
Housework vol1 is a double album that has some cracking songs that you just dont seem to hear on the radio anymore such as The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda and Don McLeans - American Pie.
The songs on this album just make you feel good and really help to lift your spirits,but I honestly think its marketed wrong,this is a feel good album for anyone just not people doing the housework.I dont think the title of the album really represents...

Advantages: Really good, long awaited album! Disadvantages: Perhaps a few too many slow songs for non-Shakira fans!

~~~Lo Imprecindible~~~
This song is rather scary, and at the beginning she sings in German-Stay baby stay! I can imagine anyone would stay with her whispering in that scary voice!

~~~The DVD Extras~~~
There are 2 versions of this CD out, 1 with the DVD extras and one without. The one without was cheaper, but being such a avid Shakira fan I thought I'd go for the one with the DVD extras.
~~~Was it any good?~~~
Well to be honest I found the extras disapointing, it included:
*La Tortura (Video)
*The making of- Fijacion Oral Vol.1
*Conversation with Sanz (the singer in La Tortura)
The video of "La Tortura" is quite good, and worth a look. I then watched "The making of Fijaction Oral" which feature Shakira on a beach in Columbia speaking spanish (it has subtitles...

Advantages: Superb track selection and an informative bonus DVD Disadvantages: Typically unimaginative packaging - but it's the music that counts, right?

HARDCORE HEAVEN VOL1
=
Mixed by DOUGAL and BREEZE
Hardcore is a strange genre, and I can understand why so many people won't touch it with the proverbial bargepole. The late nineties saw a really steep decline of the rave scene, and hardcore in particular. For most people, the lack of new or original material saw them walk away from big events to seek newer sounds elsewhere and the re-emergence of illegal sound systems at the turn of the millenium was probably incidental as ravers looked for a dirtier, more progressive sound.
Some will argue that hardcore never died, but if it didn't it was seriously, seriously ill for longer than it deserved to be.
Mercifully, the lull in events gave those who really loved the hardcore scene a chance to hide away, work hard and come back out...
