Big Bands In Hi-fi Vol.2 - In The Mood - Various Artists

Advantages: Best bits from different albums
Disadvantages: Not sure there were any

...Well what can I say, totally amazing. Loved them all. I love compilation cd's I think you get all the best bits from all the best albums without having to have all the albums and listen to all the tracks you don't like. Did that make any sense?? I particularly like the cover design I think it really got across the image of 'power'. Sound quality was really good, hubby is really into his hi fi and has a mish mash of what he considers to be all the better units from different manufactorers. He won't listen to anything that he doesn't consider to sound like 'you're at the concert'. Well this one certainly did the trick. Go for it! Great gift for fathers day too!... Read review

Advantages: Variations of well known songs.
Disadvantages: none

...Brill album, much better than the first Radio one live lounge album. All tracks have been previously played on the radio one live lounge with Joe Willie, but I never get a chance to listen to them all first time they are on the radio, so its nice to hear them all. Some tracks really funny and are all by well-known artist's. The artists and bands either record alternative recordings of there own songs or ones by other artists, which is really interesting. I really love the Amy winehouse - Valerie its a slower version and is really good. It features allot of the top 40 bands and gives you a chance of hearing unusual tracks that you would not normally hear from such band albums. Highly Recommended.... Read review

Disadvantages: You either like it or you don't

...Freaky Friday was a remake in 2003 starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis of a classic tale of a mother and daughter magically swapping bodies for a day. It's only appropriate then that the soundtrack to go with the film is a compilation of teen rock/pop full of rebellious lyrics and powerful guitar chords. This said there are a couple of tracks which you might think huh? The compilation has a mixture of artists such as Simple Plan and Lillix who are reasonably well known. Throw in some lesser known artists such as Forty Foot Echo and American Hi Fi and you've got a refreshing mix of both familiar and new sounding rock. Its always hard to describe music in a way that every body will think of the same but personally I think this CD is best described as soft rock with a typical teenage vibe. Tunes such as "What I Like About You... Read review
