Balalaikas Of Moscow Vol.1, The - Balalaikas Of Moscow (The)

Advantages: cool
Disadvantages: more

...Michael Jackson’s album History, is a two CD collection, on the first CD are all his old hits which combined are his greatest. Songs like Billie Jean and Man In The Mirror prove that Michael Jackson is true talent with songs that have lasted the test of time. No wonder thriller sold so many albums and a few of those songs are documented on this CD. CD2 are songs he has written now, we have the number ones “You are not alone” and “Earth song” which was Christmas number 1. then there were songs like Stranger in Moscow and the beautifully sad Smile which ends the CD. Although Smooth Criminal is not on the album Michael has proved that as well as his old hits the new ones are just as good. He definitely keeps the title King of pop... Read review

Advantages: A couple of excellent songs
Disadvantages: Some of the songs are a bit laboured

..."Never For Ever" came a couple of years after her debut album and although it did contain a couple of hits Kate Bush was beginning to sound burned out. In fact many of the songs were chosen from her extensive repertoire of compositions penned in her early teens and perhaps don't show her at her best. However "Babooshka" is a wonderful song of trickery from a wife determined to see if her husband is capable of having an affair. The use of a balalaika gives an exotic touch to this song which deservedly became a success. "Army Dreamers' is a poignant piece which sounds almost like a lullaby accompanied to the sound of an army drill sergeant calling orders. Lamenting the loss of young men who die seemingly for nothing and end up posthumously awarded medals that are no better than "buttons and bows". "Breathing" is Kate Bush's cry against... Read review
