Big Love (Mixed By Seamus Haji) [Digipak] - Various Artists

Scarface (Music inspired by the movie) - Various Artists

Advantages: A few scarface film samples
Disadvantages: Nearly the whole thing

Many people have been influenced by the scarface film and the rap genre has especially referenced to it man songs. This is now an official compilation of songs with money, power and respect themes. as you would imagine, all are rap. Put together in 2003, this def jam idea includes songs by Nas, Mobb Deep and Notorious BIG, some made especially for the album some old tracks that just fit. None appear in the film but there are samples and dialouge used from the picture. Tracks Its Mine - Mobb Deep & Nas. Scarface cues used as the sample in this one which was originally put t ogether in 99. A good relevant track to start the album Yeo - Cam'ron. Samples Rush Rush which is used in the film, rush rush get the yayo may be more familiar. best bit about the song is actually the sample with cam'rons raps not adding much but loads ...

Review of Scarface (Music Inspired By The Movie) [PA] - Various Artists

Mash Up 2008

Advantages: Mixes/Mash Ups. Amount of Songs.
Disadvantages: Length of some songs. Only for dance fans

mellow undertones that Praise You has. Its the sort of song that if it comes on when you are out, EVERYONE knows the words. A brilliant mix up of songs. The change of tempo in both songs happen almost simultaneously and it works very well, if you didn't know, then you would think they were made together. Overall it's an excellent song and i can't get enough of it. The only problem is that the song is only 2.08 mins long. 9/10 for track 03 ................Track 08 Again, these songs work together perfectly. I love the lyrics for Lazy by X-Press 2 and the faster tempo of Take me 2 The Sun gives the lyrics a whole different feel to when they were originally heard a few years ago. (The video for the original song was also brilliant). It isn't quite as catchy as the Fatboy Slim song but it's still good. Though it doesn't have as much staying ...

Hed Kandi: The Mix 2009

Advantages: If you want a very generic mix CD this could be for you.
Disadvantages: Many tracks are either remixes of commerical hits, or at least 4 years old.

Having long been a fan of the Hed Kandi brand, and of funky house music I decided to reluctantly purchase 'The Mix 2009'. My reluctance came from reading the tracklisting on the back of the Album - Shakedown 'At Night', X-Press 2 'Lazy' Afro Medusa 'Pasilda' and others are all relatively old tracks. If the theme of this album had been similar to the Hed Kandi classics CD in 2006 it would be understandable - but this edition professed to be 'The Mix 2009'. On previous outings the main two CD's always featured the biggest tracks of the year and nothing else - a sort of House Music annual. The 'Chill-out/Wind-Down' themed third CD each time had previously been the only disc to feature 'classic house'. The Mix 2009 certainly isn't and if a general overview of 2009 in house music is what you're after then perhaps it would be better to look ...
