Buddha Bar Vol.5 (Compiled By David Visan) - 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: All the best songs.
Disadvantages: None!

...This is the best pop music compilation that is out at the moment. It has access to the rights for more groups than the rival compilation NOW. As a result there are many more excellent songs on this one. It is a double CD and is full of the latest top 40 hits. Artists include: S Club 7, Ronan Keating, Kylie MInogue, All Saints and many many more! The good songs are evenly spread throughout the two CD's so you get full use out of both (this is rare for compilations!). My advice would be to stop buying all those singles and to get this compilation as all the best songs are on here! You will find it in all good retail outlets...... Read review

Advantages: It just feels right
Disadvantages: where is vol 2 ???

...The Viva Diablo Blanco compilation is a carefully selection of hyms of drum'n'bass / ambient tunes from the mid 90's. You'll be sure to rebember tracks such as Apollo 440's "Ain't Talking about dub" and Fat Boy Slim's "Song for Linda" and at the same time recall some less mainstream artists such as The Aloof and The Art of Noise and on top some very good remixes by the likes of the brazillian collective Filla Brazilia and others. All in all this album does really capture the essence of the whole snowboarding sub-culture, so the snowboarder on the album's cover isn't just a fluke. In a few words this compilation is bold, young and fast paced, but still a ambient album that you can play over and over.... Read review
