Best Of Girija Devi, The - Girija Devi

Advantages: 14 amazing tracks, another fine release from King Prawn
Disadvantages: May not be to everyones taste.

...Here is the album which was self financed by King Prawn and has now got itself a label and that label is Golf Records. It is a 14 track album of the usual mix of ska, punk, hip hop and metal. You never know what to expect with a King Prawn album as they draw so many influences and this is reflected in their songs as every one is different with many different genres intertwined to create that sound that only King Prawn can. Each and every one of these songs is superb in its own right but for me there are some songs which really stand out from the crowd as they have that all original King Prawn sound and these songs are 'The Dominant View,' 'Smoke Some Shit,' 'Raise The Banner,' 'Viva Devi,' 'Caught Inna Rut' and 'Satan's Folly.' These are all superb tunes and I feel that these are the key tracks on the album although all are great... Read review

Advantages: If you like gangster rap then Shyne is your man!
Disadvantages: maybe a couple more tunes on the album would be better.

...presence is a major factor. Track3-MORE OR LESS- This is probably the best tune on the album, with a chour type voice in the backround going well with a good hip hop beat and the way Shyne raps in this tune makes a very moving and a bit chilling tune. If you like rap music then this tune will make your hairs on your back stand up as it is from the heart of a man who has "seen it all and done it all" Track4-BEHIND THE WALLS- This tune features rappers KURUPT and NATE DOGG and it is a remix to an earlier Kurupt tune also called behind the walls. It has a funky beat and very east coast. Kurupt starts it off with a crazy verse and Nate Dogg does the chorus(as Nate Dogg has done so many chorus throughout his career i call him the chorus king!) and of course Shyne raps about the east caost in America and does so with atitude. Track5-SHYNE... Read review

...I was introduced to the music of Krishna Das by my wife. And God bless her for that, says I! For Krishna Das is well, he just IS. Live on Earth is a great introduction to the music of Krishna Das. Krishna Das is an American by birth, and a Hindu. By conviction. His music is a wonderful exploration and celebration of his faith, that of the Hindu. To listen to the music of Krishna Das is to invite a very special experience into one's very soul. Live on Earth is a two CD release and contains a total of 14 tracks. The tracks on CD 1 are: Radhe Shyam Samadhi Sita Ram Shri Guru Charanam Three Rivers Hare Krishna Hanuman Puja Hanuman Chaleesa Sita Ram Jaya Bhagavan On side 2 the tracks are Devi Puja Jaya Jagatambe Mountain Hare Krishna Namah Shivaya Rama Bolo Shri Krishna Govinda/Gopala Each track is pure...
