Baby Let's Play House (The Best Of Arthur Gunter) - Arthur Gunter

Advantages: A brand new sound to an increasing overcrouded genre
Disadvantages: Some tracks take a few listenings to get used to - and you may not like them at all!

...Dubbed as one of the best singer/songwriters in 2005, Joseph Arthur actually has been in the business of making tremendous music and giving astounding live performances since 1997 (at least). Peter Gabriel of Genesis fame (although that had nothing to do with me listening to Joseph Arthur) recommended him to Real World Records in 1997, which lead to the release of Joseph's first album, "Big City Secrets". However, this, his latest work of art, is by far considered as his best yet.

...not have been added, such as Don't Call Me Baby by Madison Avenue and the extrememly annoying Shapeshifters Lola's Theme. Some of the songs seem to play for slightly too long but overall it is a feel good album. Will definitely get you in the clubbing mood. Overall this album has more good tracks than bad which is a positive point. All the best artists including Moby, Armand Van Helden, Tori Amos and Norman Cook are featured. There might be a few songs you don't recognise, but after a few listens you will love most of them. I definitely recommend this to you. Disc 1 1. Galvanize-The Chemical Brothers Feat. Q-Tip 2. Flashdance-Deep Dish 3. Love Story Vs. Finally-Layo & Bushwacka! 4. You Don't Know Me-Armand Van Helden Feat. Duane Harden 5. Don't Call Me Baby-Madison Avenue 6. Make Luv-Room 5 Feat. Oliver Cheatham 7. Groovejet... Read review
