Coming Home Vol.1 (...Warming Up Your Living Area) - Various Artists

Advantages: Great acoustic music
Disadvantages: some tracks are not how you know them

...I don't often listen to Radio 1, but this one time I did, they were playing only tracks recorded in the live lounge - And I Loved It. the songs were not remastered and you could hear the lyrics and music without all the extras that make some people buy their tracks. The copies by artists of other artists songs are of superb quality, and some really make it their own. When I listen to them I just love the fact that they are live recordings with no additionals. Its great that artists are comfortable with singing live, acoustic, and other peoples songs. By listening to the tracks you can tell which artists can sing and which artists definately need to remaster their tracks to sell their singles/albums. Or which need to lip synch for their live gigs. I'll let you make up your own mind who you think these artists are out of artists like... Read review

Advantages: Mixed By Anne Savage, this has to be an advantage!
Disadvantages: Not as extreme as the other Euphoria albums, might not be fast enough for some ravers!

...Brilliant Album by Anne Savage, really worth buying. If your new to this scene its a good starter album because its not as extreme as Euphorias other albums. Cd 1 is by far the "calmer" of the 3 cd's, with mixes by BK, Vinylgroovers. Colin Barratt's remix of "The Future" is awesome. Cd2 has a faster beat and euphoria start living up to their name by Cd 3! With beats like "Real Freaks" by the Tidy Girls, this is a real tune and also "lookin Good" by Lisa Lashes! Cd 3 has to be by far the best of the 3. I really like this album, especially Cd3 where things progress and get faster! Theres some big names and some big tunes! A Cd worth buying!... Read review

Advantages: Great insight into other artists
Disadvantages: A few dodgy tracks

...Superb album, a few dodgy tracks but easy to skip past these. Even if you only like a quarter of the artists there will be some that you'll be really surprised with. I'm not a big fan of Mika but i've got to give him credit for this version, if you're not a big fan of him this is defo worth a listen. Klaxons are amazing on this album. Don't like the Fray or Jack Peanut, but that's just a personal choice. I'm really glad that Radio 1 have decided to release their live lounge sessions, it's taken a while for them to realise that this is a great money spinner. Can't wait for the next one to come out. I'd say this is a must buy if the price is right!... Read review
