Black Top Bayou State Boogie - Various Artists

Advantages: Well worth the money, can watch over and over again
Disadvantages: A little bit short on running time

...then choose to film it in Black & White?? Make it look old? Give it some character? Who knows, but with this show, it really works!!! Roy Orbison (with friends) Black & White Night Music DVD ***The Show*** This show was put together to pay tribute to Roy Orbison, for his life time achievement of over 30 years in the entertainment business. The Show was recorded live, a one time special event, filmed in Black & White at Los Angeles’s Coconut Grove in 1987. The show itself included Roy Orbison and a star studded line-up of friends. The “friends” were all individual recording artists themselves and all had volunteered to be part of the show in tribute to this great artist. The most unusual thing is that all the stars involved played as one huge band, instead of having individual spots… The most enjoyable thing about... Read review

...This is one of the first compilation CD's I ever bought. At the time I thought it was fantastic, but over the years I've seemed to have grown a little sick of some of the songs. If anyone remembers the days of Shaggy and Oh Carolina, well, you'll like this compilation as it's full of old songs like that, (and that song sure does bring abck quite a few memories!) Artists include: Reel 2 Reel, Haddaway, M People, Aswad, Sister Sledge, Shaggy, Robin S, 2 Unlimited, Capella, Prodigy, The Shamen, Snap, Seal, S'Express and Black Box.... As you can tell by some of the above names, most of them are the oldies! Brilliant to keep for 'old time sakes'.... Read review

Disadvantages: Not many well known songs remixed, lyrics are always the chorus of the song repeated

...This album shows just how much Armin is capable of. A State of Trance 2007 features 28 long trance tracks, ranging from 2 minutes to 8 minutes (Most around 6) that flow into eachother. Armin has used various techniques that other trance music creators have not tried yet, such as bit-crunching, and has achieved the desired effect. I have really enjoyed this album, and have listened to it for 3 months now, without being bored of it. One of my favourite aspects of this album is the use of drums, he has used different samples to make his music provide the 'rushing' feeling to it's listener that most trance artists cannot achieve. This album is well worth it's price, as it has over 1 and a half hours of tracks inside, that you will not get bored of. There are a few original songs by Armin in this CD, but most are tracks from other people... Read review
