Christmas Chillout Album, The - Various Artists

Isnt chillout for stressed management yupppies

Advantages: A great relaxation Album
Disadvantages: Erm, some awful songs

I like to try new things out, listen to new genres of music and watch different styles of movies. I did not by any means of the word 'chillout', actually think it would be an album that I would listen to or rather relax to for many hours, but to my great surpise it is. I am 16 going on 17, the fact that I am listening to 'chillout' music is a great shock, i thought it was only the type of music that overweight management executive yuppy types endure or rather enjoy, i was wrong. This album contains songs made famous by many influential artists and groups. For example it contains songs by bands such as Westlife (Flying Without Wings) although i absolutely loath the band and to be quite honest the song too and The Corrs (Runaway, Erin Shore) and artists such as Enya (May It Be) and Charlotte Church (Carrickfergus). The actual people who ...

Review of Celtic Chillout Album, The - Various Artists

not quite the best christmas album...

Advantages: great selection of christmas classics
Disadvantages: singers doing covers of good songs,

Wrapping up your christmas presents! Putting up the decorations! What else could make you feel any more merrier than singing along to past and xmas tunes. This album seems to always be on sale in shops as soon as December starts to creep in. I'll give them credit though, once in a while I've taken a look on the back cover, yes despite the fact that I already own it, to find that two more songs have been added which I particularily enjoy. Making it exceedingly difficult for me to not buy it again. CD 1 has all the memorable tracks. Songs which I remember always being played at the end of term school christmas party. Sadly the edition I have does not inclue Whams' Last Christmas. Which I distinctively remember being a favourite at the time! Happy Xmas (War is Over), Do They Know It's Christmas?, Merry Xmas Everybody, I ...

Review of Best Christmas Album In The World...ever, The - Various Artists

Christmas Rappin' (With Not Kurtis Blow)

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: One average tune

?Christmas Rap? was released in 1987 as a compilation of works which bring together Christmas-themed rap tunes from the period that bridged the Middle-School phase or first 'New School' (1983-1987) to the Golden Age (1988-1993) where Hip Hop is concerned. Although you don't quite get an all-star line-up, Run-D.M.C lead the way for a range of acts (most of whom were only really one-hit-wonders) from both America and the UK. 1.?Christmas In Hollis? - Run-D.M.C. The most popular of all that appeared on this album (due to the high-profile act behind it) we have a great opener to the album as we see that here DJ Run and D.M.C throw down on top of their typical hardcore beats, but with some jingling bells added into the mix to make it suit the direction of the music as they attempt to make something that bridged Hip Hop to these kinds ...
