Artyomov: Ave

Advantages: Clear, Precise Vocals, Great Production
Disadvantages: Some really cheesy tracks

...Tarja Turunen made her name with Finnish metal band Nightwish. Classically trained she has peformed in Europe for some years on the Classical circuit. This album translated into English as 'Breath Fromk Heaven' comprises many Christmas songs, and features the 2 tracks from her earlier single 'Yhden Enkelin Unelma'. Turunens voice is both clear, and precise on this well produced CD. Some of the songs are a little cheesy - but allownces for this can be made due to her outstanding voice. She peforms a memorable rendition of 'Ave Maria' which is probably the best I have ever heard. ABBA's Happy new year (Track 3) is not such a good song. It lacks inspiration and I feel It lets the album down. This album is a great christmas possesion for fans of Tarja Turunen, classical music, or cheese! TRACK LISTING 1.

Advantages: Lovely
Disadvantages: None

...This is an excellent album to accompany an excellent film. It has non stop top tunes all they way through to the end. This is the kind of album you would stick on whilst getting ready before you go out to ‘ave it mental’, not too hard, nice and fluffy trance to get you nicely into the mood for the madness filled night ahead. Mixed by Paul Oakenfold it’s no wonder that this is one exceptional album. One superb CD that is guaranteed to have you up and giggling about in no time.... Read review

Advantages: the best music i have herd since U2's last album
Disadvantages: 13pound you can get it for a tenner at Sainsburys

...This has to be one of the best albums i have ever herd i cant get enough of it. If u have any feelings at all this album will translate them into sound waves. Badly drawn boy has given a fase lft to the music industry. at last we can get away from all of these talentles(though pretty) kids, we now have an expert musician writes, sings and perfors songs about what HE feels rather than what some over payed writer thinks. Anyone who wants a change from the drab repetitive drivle produced by any record company these days. If i may refer to an album by the stereophonics which reminds us of any of these manufactured bands. If u ave any free time 13pounds in your pocket, wether it is for food, water or charity, BUY THIS ALBUM.... Read review
