Big Band Sound - Various Artists

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...This compilation Cd is pretty much similar to 'Now Dance 2000'. It starts off with exactly the same track, Bob Marley 'Sun is shining'! However, unlike the start of the album beginning to sound exactly the same as the others, it goes into different music, more into the clubbing scene with songs from: Basement Jaxx, Ruff Driverz, Phats & Small, Eclipse, The 3 Jays, Firewall and Big Time Charlie to name a few. I feel that you have to be 'in the mood' to listen to this Cd, it definately wouldn't be a first-thing-in-the-morning job! Some of the titles of these songs still confuse me but the music is fine, well.. with names like 'Yazoo', you automatically think of Yahoo, and that's not a band! It has got some great tunes though!... Read review

Only let down by the Electric Chairs "F**k off" which sounds very... Read review

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
