Best Of Gay Happening Vol.2, The - Various Artists

Advantages: Songs, mix/range of artists
Disadvantages: None

...a party. The songs are amazing. You have LMC vs U2 with "Take Me To The Clouds Above". I don't know how to define this song, it's not overdone with synthesizers and effects. You have Ultrabeat's uplifting track "Feelin' Fine", Motorcycle's "As The Rush Comes"(quite a moody and dark tune), Lasgo's "Surrender", Kelly Llorenna's powerful vocals on "This Time I Know It's For Real", Northern Heightz's dancefloor hit "Look At Us", Despina Vandi's sensational and rhythmic "Gia", Tiësto's "Traffic" and Tube & Berger and Chrissie Hynde's collaboration on "Straight Ahead". I believe they've got the right mix of artists on here, providing a variety of styles within the "dance" genre. As always, there are some naff tracks on here from one hit wonders or people you've never heard of, but the balance of these and all the artists & songs listed above makes up... Read review

Advantages: Good tracks, bonus material
Disadvantages: A few too many mixes

...Have already rated the previous album (put your hands up vol.1) and many of my points apply to this album aswell. After continually listening to the first album i decided to buy this one aswell and again i was not disappointed. There is again a brilliant mix of tracks over 3 CD's including several remixes and club mixes such as that of Camille Jonesvs Fedded le Grande-The Creeps (club mix). This i believe to be one of the best but there are 62 other tunes that you will just want to get up and dance to. Again, as like the previous album there is bonus content on CD1 including 3 awesomw music videos including Fedde Le Grande-Put your hands up and Alex Gaudino-Destination Calabria. This is a really nice touch to the album and makes it a real gem.... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing, unless you don't like really good unplugged music

...MTV is a television music channel which started broadcasting in late 1989/early 1990. As the first of its kind, it regularly featured an 'Unplugged' session, where artists would come and perform a live acoustic set. Before long, the MTV The Very Best Of Unplugged album was released, an its success demanded a second album to be released. This album is the second offering from the MTV Unplugged Set. Many artists have released music that they have performed on the MTV set, but this is a compilation of some of the greatest moments in the channel's live acoustic history. There are 16 tracks on the album, including 10 which were not previously released. These are the tracks: 1. Sting - Every Breath You Take 2. Chris Isaak - Wicked Game 3. The Cranberries - Zombie 4. REM - Imitation Of Life 5. Eric Clapton - Layla 6. Crowded House... Read review
