Can't Stop - Kings Of Tomorrow & Rae

Advantages: Great songs, vocals, lyrics, music
Disadvantages: Some dodgy recording on a tight budget

...Wob is a very talented singer guitarist song-writer from south eastern England. He performs and records both solo - just him, his acoustic guitar and his voice - and with his band, a trio of himself, a bassist and a drummer. The first time I heard him I was at a small music venue, to watch another band. There were three bands on that night, and one of them, was Wob. He started on his own, just himself and acoustic guitar, striding and bouncing around the stage as if he owned it, grabbibg everyone's attention. He did one song on hos own then, half way through the second number on walked the bass player, followed by the drummer, and the rest of the set was performed with his band, and they took the place by storm, they had the whole place rocking. I immediately bought the album, "I Can't Stay Long", on cassette and played... Read review

Advantages: Just excellent!
Disadvantages: None.

...After the atrocities that were Zooropa and Pop, you'd be forgiven for thinking that U2 had lost the magic they had circa The Joshua Tree. I was very wary of this latest offering from U2, expecting a third consecutive album with very little to offer. Happily I've been proven wrong. All That You Can't Leave Behind is a giant leap back towards U2's roots. It's a thoroughly enjoyable album - both to a huge fan such as myself, and even those who are indifferent to this type of music. Sadly there are a band of people who are hellbent on hating U2. They'll certainly hate this. You can please some of the people all of the time, as they say. This is typical, classic U2. Before this album was released, their finest work, for me, would have been either The Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby. Now there's a new contender. With fears... Read review

Advantages: Wicked dance music!
Disadvantages: Songs are a bit long!

...Stonebridge was a producer in the early Noughties and his debut album with Hed Kandi is 'Can't get Enough'. It's a collection of club friendly (yet poppy) music featuring some wicked vocals. 'Put em High' released in 2004 was a club and chart smash and saw the album follow. There's since been the release of 'Take Me Away' and this week sees the brilliant 'Freak On' released! So here's the whole album in full! Cant Get Enough ft Charlie King I haven't decided if Charlie King is a man or a woman but nevermind. The vocals on this are very chilled and soulful. The song starts with a simple beat that builds and biulds with some 'yeah's' and 'uhs' before some kind of Urban chant! This song isn't the best dance track ever but its not rubbish it's a grower. But cos its not hard dance it's the perfect first song as it prepares you for whats... Read review
