...tracks on each disk. 2001 Sony Music Entertainment (UK) Ltd. Distruibution: Sony Music. www.sonymusic.co.uk So... what are the songs like?? ~~~~~ Disk 1 ~~~~~~ 1 ~ Lovely Head ~ Goldfrapp Well this is a good start to the album, as I love Goldfrapp! This track I belive was used as the theme tune to Monkeydust on BBC3(which is also very good~so made me smile!!) It starts with somebody whisteling, then the beat cuts in, very nice chilled song. Great chillout.... 2 ~ Why Does My Heart ~ Moby Starts with piano, then powerful male vocal starts, 'why does my heart' Woman signs chorus, work really well together. Excellent track, which I already have on a Moby album so obviously something I like. Beautiful vocals on this track, from very strong male & female voices! 3 ~ Solo Por Tu Amor ~ Manuel Franjo Mmmmm... not so... Read review

Advantages: Original, something for everyone
Disadvantages: None

...I recieved the first album way overdue no less than two months ago. and i loved it. every track infact. so with Radio ones live lounge being one of my faviroute albums i was excited to hear that live lounge two was out aswell.I cant stop listening to it. every track on there is so original, if its not a song performed by a different artist its the artists song but done with an acoustic guitar making it simple but in some cases better than the original ? complicated ? It doesnt matter whether you hate pop beceause theyll be a rock/indie band covering the song and vice versa. its a breath of fresh air. my faviourte track being the girls - calvin harriss. hated the original dance like song but love this as it is an acoustic cover and more to my taste. a must have for all music lovers....

Advantages: Loads Of Great tracks! Youll find yourself enjoying songs you hated
Disadvantages: Some obscure artist that you may not know

...I recently borrowed this CD off a friend after seeing adverts for it on the TV, and after hearing the 1st album I thought there is no way the second one could be better. However I think I was proved wrong. It has some brilliant cover tracks on it, sung by some of the people you would least expect. Some of the tracks performed with an acoustic guitar somehow sound much better than the originals! The tracks all come from Jo Whiley's live lounge (she's a Dj at Radio 1 for anyone that didn't know!) It's a great CD where else would you hear Maximo Park singing 500 miles! (Originally by the Proclaimers) or The Enemy covering Madonna's hit Hung Up. I can guarantee that you will find yourself enjoying songs that you have previously hated! I know I did! Even if you do not know some of the artist on the CD it doesn't mean they wont be good... Read review
