Complete UK Upsetter Singles Collection Vol.4, The - Various Artists

R&B Collection 2009 - all the hits!

Advantages: Comprehensive round up of the big tunes of 2008
Disadvantages: No beyonce! shock, and some horrible non-R&B on CD2

this CD is unmixed and contains your basic radio edit, so each track you can expect to be around 3-4 minutes in length. CD 1 kicks things off with the man who gets on absolutely everything and that is Akon with his current solo effort Right Now (Na Na Na) which is an annoyingly catchy track that you can hear pretty much constantly on most mainstream radio stations at present. There is nothing really different about this selection and the obvious artists and tracks make an appearance, Pussycat Dolls, Ne-Yo, Will I.AM and Chery Cole all make up the early running. Poptastic comes to mind! If you are wanting a more underground selection of tunes then this is probably not the album for you! However, if what you want is a large selection hit after hit then this one certainly ticks all the boxes. Track 10 is one to look out for, Lil Wayne ...

Review of R&B Collection (+DVD) - Various Artists

The Celtic Collection

Advantages: Beautiful and atmospheric
Disadvantages: Too short and not for everybody

of classical with occasionally a bit of folk and sometimes some (very) soft rock, all depending on the artist(s)/composer(s). This isn't necessarily what it is, but I feel it's a good way to give you an impression of what Celtic music is. This album consists of what is dubbed as "The Celtic Collection". I don't really know any other Celtic music other than what's on this album so this may be some of the best Celtic tracks every composed. It is a compilation of some truly impressive tunes from some great artists. THE TRACKS 1 - James Galway & Phil Coulter - Callin Na Gruaige Baine - The intro to the album is a slow, calm, with quite strings and some calm but good singing. As the title suggests, this isn't in English but that adds to the effect. What you'll find is that some of the better tracks are those that don't have English lyrics ...

We Invented The Remix - Various Artists

Advantages: Some good remixes and the price
Disadvantages: Not many, some fillers but i suppose you get that with every album

This cd is an absolue bargain. I would highly recommend purchasing this as Bad Boy and Puff Daddy are well known for producing good remixes and the series of albums was a very good idea, another money spinning venture but one for the fans who had remixes on b sides of cd singles and recorded off the radio! Special Delivery - G Dep, Ghostface Killah, Keith Murray & Craig Mack. Quite a repetitive tune but a cult favourite. More likely to hear it in the clubs I Need A Girl Part 2 - Ginuwine, Mario Winans, P Diddy & Loon. Video and single released off the back of the successful part 1. Some say they prefer this version, i actual do and its one of the best tracks on the album Bad Boy For Life - P Diddy, Busta Rhymes & MOP. A shouty version of the original. Not bad but too much going on lyrically for me, my ears couldnt take it I Need ...
