Clubland Vol.3 - Various Artists

Advantages: Consistency of sound, not mixed, great value
Disadvantages: Formulaic after a while, lacks credibility

...volume three in the acclaimed Clubland series hit the shelves just in time for this peak sales period. I stumbled across volume one of the Clubland series almost entirely by mistake, but I was so impressed with it that I bought Clubland 2 before it was released commercially (see my Vinyl Exchange review to find out how) and the same thing happened with volume three.

...Parry and Flip & Fill's Field Of Dreams. One problem with the album is why Junior Senior was selected on the album? It is a POP SONG not a DANCE TUNE. I would have accepted it if it was remix of it but it is the original version. That has spoilt the album a bit, but was luckily the last track on the second CD. The cover for the album is really good- again, suitable for the theme of the album, which is summer!! I certainly listened to this album ... Read review
