Best Of North Of Watford, The - Various Artists

Advantages: Keeps you wanting more
Disadvantages: Another GC addition to the collection?

...I received this CD for x-mas, and first thoughts were that it would be another "renamed" mix for 2007....How wrong was I. Gatecrasher (GC) having been the superclub from "up North" have done it again. I have pretty much all the GC albums and this is another that didn't fail to disappoint. DJ's Scott Bond, Matt Hardwick and Judge Jules have done what they do best - keep you guessing for the next track and never fail to impress. Yes, there are the odd tracks that always appear on this type of compilation, but what they don't do is detract from the overall enjoyment. I thought about buying this CD myself, but didn't. How chuffed am I that somebody chose to get me it for christmas otherwise, it's one worthy compilation that would possibly have been missing from my collection. Well deserving of the GC name....

Advantages: Many different types of rock and fantstic artists - the best of 2006 and 2007
Disadvantages: Could have more hardrock artists in and and second CD hasn't as much good artists in

...A fantastic CD with lot's of different kinds of rock. The best bands of 2006 and 2007 put in one CD. Artists like Snow Patrol, Razorlight, The Fratellies, The Arctic Monkeys, Automatic, The Ordinary Boys, The Killers, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and the list goes on. Has two CD's and has 40 tracks, 20 on each CD. Has new up coming artist such as Wolfmother. has many artists winners from the Brits: The Killers who won best national CD and best national band, The Arctic Monkeys won best British CD and best British band. The Fratellis won an award too and many more Brit award winning artists. A fantastic purchase well worth its money. A great buy. I recommend definitely to people anywhere between 8 and 100 if they enjoy that kind of music. It even has some live performing artists such as 'The Arctic Monkeys' on tour... Read review

Advantages: AMAZING CD AND BOOK
Disadvantages: none

...this is such a briliant cd and book guide. i would highly reccomend this to all indian musicians and people interested in studying indian classical music , specifically north indian aka hindustani music. it has a deep explanation of the basics of indian music so that you can truly appreciate the ragas (melodic structures) and talas (rhythmic cyles) and more features unique to indian music. the cds are also great as they are thoroughly explained in the book and you can even play the music on your western or indian instrument as the music is written in the book in western notation. the cds are not only great to listen to to learn the music side but are also great performances by some of the most distinguished artists in india....
