Borneo - The Music Of Dayak And Punan - Various Artists

Advantages: Simply super
Disadvantages: None

...with a price 9/10 7 - Bhangra Bros. Bhangra, wind instruments and a bit of turn tableism creates a funky instrumental track that sounds like Tetris in a Music Hall in Delhi. 8/10 8 - Electric City After a few songs which aren't legendary, this one really gets back on track with superb lyrics, a great hookline "Shine, Electric City, Shine" and a complete faultless mix of bhangra, eclectic drumming and various other stuff going on. 9/10 9 - Hey Clown This song is so catchy and really great, also another political attack on the US. The chorus of: Everybody say Hey, clown We're gonna put you in the ground We had it all and then you blew it all away Everybody say Hey, clown You turned our happy upside-down We're gonna burn your flag and piss on your parade (Piss on your parade) is all the song really needs but the great parade style music...

Advantages: A good mix of styles and artists, and you don't have to buy a lot of singles to get the music.
Disadvantages: Appears to be quite simple, some tracks that I personally did not like, but then that's down to personal opinion.

...The Brits 2001 CD is a great CD if you want some variety. The CD contains many different types of music, from Toploader, to S Club 7, and Kylie Minogue or even Coldplay. There are 37 tracks on this double CD album. The music really depends on your tastes, but I found a couple of tracks I didn't like, so just skipped them, as most of the others were great. This is a good album to buy if you like a track, but do not want to spend money on the single, or do not like the rest of their music or do not feel that their album is worth the money. The cover appears to be quite simple, but the inlay card contains a lot of information on the artists. I think that the album was worth the money, and contains a good mix of different artists and styles of music. A good, well rounded album, if you like a variety of music.... Read review

Advantages: Great acoustic music
Disadvantages: some tracks are not how you know them

...I don't often listen to Radio 1, but this one time I did, they were playing only tracks recorded in the live lounge - And I Loved It. the songs were not remastered and you could hear the lyrics and music without all the extras that make some people buy their tracks. The copies by artists of other artists songs are of superb quality, and some really make it their own. When I listen to them I just love the fact that they are live recordings with no additionals. Its great that artists are comfortable with singing live, acoustic, and other peoples songs. By listening to the tracks you can tell which artists can sing and which artists definately need to remaster their tracks to sell their singles/albums. Or which need to lip synch for their live gigs. I'll let you make up your own mind who you think these artists are out of artists like... Read review
