Blaxplosion (A Collection Of Ultra Rare Groove) - Various Artists

Advantages: amazing compilation of songs
Disadvantages: a few not to my taste, only a bare amount

...A wonderful collection of purely acoustic songs. Inlucding the likes of James Blunt, David Gray, Maroon 5, Eva Cassidy, Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley and many more. Included in the album are two seperate cds, each as good as each other i especially like the fact there are 19 tracks to each cd which brings the total number of tracks to 38. The only downside could be that there were a few songs that i didnt recognise but have grown to like through various listens. An amazing compilation of tracks including information on various artists albums whose tracks are includded on the cd. I would definitely recoommend this album as it had enhanced some very nice emotions and created a very calmly atmosphere for either daytime or before you hit the hay. A stunning collection of today's finest singer songwriters!... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic Full-Length Dance Classics
Disadvantages: A few substandard fillers...

...of that whole "whoa - yeah" thing... 9. "Must bee the music" - King Bee Remarkably similar to their "Back by Dope Demand", with a little Monie Love sample... 10. "Got to be real" - Cheryl Lynn Cheryl Lynn won the US television "Pop Idol" stlye talent show The Gong Show in 1976. This song first came out in 1978, but this is a timeless classic. 11. "Roadblock" - Stock, Aitken and Waterman (Rare groove version) Remember everyone though this was sone "Rage Groove" classic ? And it turned out to be good old SAW ? Fantastic 12. "Why" - Carly Simon (extended version) This version of the1982 original was a real balearic anthem in those early ibiza days. Just imagine listening to this as the sun sets at Cafe Del Mar..... La de dah de dah... 13. "A little sensitivity" - Lavine Hudson They saved the best 'till last. Another fantastic... Read review

Advantages: chilled out happy tunes
Disadvantages: variety of artists not just R&B

...I loved this CD collection, it has a fantastic range of artists on it, which allows for the CD to appeal to all diffent types of individuals, it says that it is am essential R&B collection yet i woul say that some of the variety of songs are also Hip Hop and possibly slightly dance tracks. Fantastic for singing along to when your in the car, exspecially in this nice weather. Containes a mix of various tracks from present day, back to the some oldies such as Bobbi Brown, which is always good to hear from time to time. Has some classic's from Destinys child to Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys, this CD collection gives off a positive happy vibe, which is what we all need when the summer is on its way.... Read review
