Best Of David Benoit, The - David Benoit

Advantages: Relaxing, experimental, innovative
Disadvantages: None

...This album from the French pair of artists (Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel) is a great chillout CD. Many of the songs have no lyrics are are simply a keyboard and a bass guitar comining to make a jazzy and ambient sound. The songs sound quite experimental and although relaxing are not boring. One of my favorite songs "All I Need" is from this album, the lyrics are in English and sung by Beth Hirsch who has a beautiful voice. The tracks such as La Femme D'argent and Talisman which are purely instrumental are some of the best to listen to because the focus is more on the music than the lyrics. However, the lyrics where they are used are thought provoking and have a good sound. The band's name stands for Amour, Imagination, Rêve, which means Love, Imagination, Dream. These sentiments definitely come across in this album.... Read review

Advantages: Some of the best wwf tracks
Disadvantages: difficult to get

...WWF the Music is one of my favourite music albums it features the following wrestlers musics: Raven Billy Gunn Lita Kurt Angle Chris Benoit Chyna K-Kwik Kane Tazz Too cool Eddie Guerero The rocks "pie" song Each one is fairly long, and each one is slightly different to that of what is actually played on the intros on WWF shows themselves. My personal favourite out of all of the tracks would have to be the Chris Benoit track. It is the one which seems to be more to my style and it is a great track. The only problem that I could say about this is obtaining it. It seems as if you can only get it in America or via the net. I got mine by saving ipoints, and this cost me nothing but a small amount of time. Excellant.... Read review

...Have Love featuring Trisha Yearwood With a voice like hers, you can't go wrong. Song # 13: Prelude to The Rumble featuring Chick Corea, on piano solo improvisation His greatness comes through in this short prelude. Song # 14: The Rumble featuring Steve Vai's Monsters and Chick Corea's Elektric Band Imagine the musical quality on this song! Excellent! Song # 15: Prelude to Somewhere- Orchestra Song # 16: Somewhere featuring Phil Collins Again, a lovely version as only Phil Collins can do it and I'm not even a Phil Collins fan. Along with these talents,come some amazing session musicians. You will hear the likes of David Benoit on strings and synth colours, Billy Jo Walker Jr. on acoustic guitar, Steve Brewster on drums, Sheila E. on percussions, David Pack, keyboards, as well as a whole host of other musical greats. This album... Read review
