Best Yodellers, The - Jodler In Gold

Advantages: A wonderfully uplifting and enjoyable experience
Disadvantages: None

.... "Telephone and a Rubber Band" was used for the Orange advert, and you will love "Beanfields" that is led by Jeffes on ukelele. "Music for a Found Harmonium" is probably the PCOs signature tune, and was composed on a hamonium that Jeffes found on a rubbish tip in Japan. They are fond of songs with Yodel in the title , but there is no yodelling. The album closes with "Giles Farnaby's Dream based on a 15th century tune by...you guessed it..Giles Farnaby. This bears more than a passing resemblance to an instrumental La Bamba. The instruments used on this album consist of percussion , bass, apparrent electric guitars , violin, accoustic guitars, viola, cuatro, cello , harmonium and more. If you've never heard them buy this album or "Preludes and Yodels" which is a best of with a remix of "Music for A Found Harmonium" by the Orb, and a version... Read review

Advantages: Dutch Prog Rock Rules
Disadvantages: I am a not a Norse War God yet

...Ever bough an album because of one song? And did that song include an amazing hard rock riff and yodeling? If the answer to both these questions is yes then hi there I am pleased to meet another Focus fan.

The song became our end of the night anthem and many a customer heard the statement "hey it contains a great guitar riff and yodeling, what is not to like about it", the unlucky ones experienced us attempting to yodel, but this is now firmly one of my favorite songs ever. I decided that I must hunt down this song and found this best of compilation going cheap in HMV, straight into my pocket it went and the Job was done...... It also has... Read review

Advantages: High Octane album packed with explosive and fantastic guitar riffs
Disadvantages: Lead singer Followhill's sometimes garbled lyrics are hard to understand

...Being a relative new-comer to Kings of Leon, the reason I decided to buy this album was primarily because I had heard the track "4 Kicks" a few times and couldn't get it out of my head. KOL's recently released single On Call for their upcoming album release is also a favourite of mine, and so I decided I wanted to see a bit more of what the band seemingly promised to be about. I found the first listen of the CD to be a bit hard on the ears, coming from someone who really did not have a big foundation of what KOL is all about. Excellent tracks seemed to be dispersed between strange yodelling ones, but I have to say, after a few listens I was hooked - line and sinker! Best tracks are definately the rocking, fast paced "Taper Jean Girl", the popular and catchy "Bucket", the high-octane "Four Kicks" with massive guitar riffs... Read review
