Arranger's Touch, The - Various Artists

Advantages: very lively
Disadvantages: there are some part of the songs that are too noisy

...I like the song and i think that it is fit for the movie because it is lively with a touch of funkiness. The intro of the song where the various artists sang in acapella has a big impact as well. I like the blending of their voices as well as their funky suits in their music video. I just find it too noisy in the latter part of the song because each the various artists tend to sing their own tunes. I like the packaging of the cd as well as the cd itself. Great music! Really groovy! and it makes the listener groove to the music! it is a must have cd and it is actually one of my favorite because i like such kinds of music genre. It has its own originality and is very hip and cool!... Read review

Advantages: The timeless Sexual Healing
Disadvantages: None!

...delivery. He changes his pitch remarkably well through various parts of the track which merley displayed his wide range of impressive and impeccable vocal abilities.

Marvins voice is once again enhanced by the customary synthsised effect. Joy, is something of a mid... Read review

Disadvantages: Too much of a spread in places

...Looking back at the last 1000 years of music, and only drawing on music from the last 40-odd may seem a touch shallow, bot looking at the track-listing makes you see why. There is Oasis, Rolling Stones, The Who, John Lennon, Wings, Derek & The Dominoes, and a whole host of other classics. The main sticking point is "where are the Beatles?", but when you realise that they're on no compilations due to the amount they demand in royalties, you realise they've dug their own grave in that respect. The album runs very well, with one or two exceptions e.g. 'Millennium'-Robbie Williams, and a few other weak songs thrown in in an attempt to add a variety of artists. Overall, in their bid to compile and produce an album of the best music of the last millennium, a good job has been done! But it!... Read review
