Capital Gold - Just Great Songs - Various Artists

Urban Renewal (The songs of Phil Collins) - Various Artists

Advantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs
Disadvantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs messed up

. Add a few scratches and a rap and you have this Gotta Hold Over Me - Coko. Poor song. In my opinion Coko isnt the most gifted singer and you can tell on this track. Not one of Phils greatest and not one of Coko's either I Dont Care Anymore - Kelis. Produced by the Neptunes, this is a harsh track with an 'I Hate You So Much Right Now' shouty feel to it. You would either love or hate this Cant Turn Back The Years - Joe. Not to disimilar to the original and it works. The best track on the album, Joes voices gives this tune so much credit. It really does work. Quality Do You Remember - Debelah Morgan. Poor again, she has a good voice and it comes through but the production is not great and its a big let down Against All Odds - Montell Jordan. This is worse than the Westlife version. Its just not very good One More NIght ...

Review of Urban Renewal (The Songs Of Phil Collins) - Various Artists

Real gold legends!

Advantages: Great mix of songs and artists.
Disadvantages: Not always the best of the bands hits.

As a child born in the 80's I have come to adore the music of the time, I'm always on the lookout for a good compilation CD and happened to spot this one during a shopping trip in Asda. Flipping the CD over to look at the track listing my eyes were drawn to one track and I didn't need to read the rest to know I had to have the CD. Capital Gold Eighties Legends contains songs by just that, 80's legends. There is a wide variety of artists providing a wide range of styles from pop to rock, Motown style and funk. It is a 2 disc CD providing 40 great 80's tunes. Because it is an 80's compilation, and most of us would have either heard the songs or heard of them, I wont go into a track by track description, that would spoil the fun of going out to buy the album and getting the know the songs yourself. Disc One- Disc one is packed ...

Review of Capital Gold Eighties Legends - Various Artists

Three and a half decades of great music

Advantages: The word Legends says it all
Disadvantages: None

and you'll know them! There is a very wide variety of music on this album, spanning three and a half decades, starting with "Saturday Night At The Movies", released by the Drifters in 1962, and the most recent being "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of These)", the Eurythmics offering from 1993. The first CD is mainly 60s and 70s music, from Don McLean to Diana Ross, from "Band of Gold" to "Build Me Up Buttercup". The second CD focuses more on the 1980s, and features singers such as Tina Turner, David Bowie ("Space Oddity" has to be one of my all-time favourite songs!) and Eva Cassidy's wonderful "Over the rainbow". Full track listings can also be found on Amazon. This CD is great for reminiscing and reliving the old classics, for me it is a reminder of my childhood, when I was first introduced to these songs. There are also another two Capital ...
