Dancing Floor - Gregory Isaacs

Advantages: Great Voice and Persona
Disadvantages: Rarely heard now in Mainstream

...s. This suited the subtle tones of Isaacs' voice to a tee and he was soon driving the women crazy with desire in the Carribean and Europe. Some of Isaacs' songs from this era are classics: Night Nurse (later covered by Sly & Robbie), Permanent Lover, Let's Dance, and My Only Lover. When, a little later, Dancehall took over Gregory made a seamless transition to the genre in a brilliant come-back. This should come as no surprise because this was Gangsta' music and Isaacs was a true Rude Boy and took to it like a duck to water. Yes, Isaacs was a product of the shanties as were Peter Tosh and Marley and he stood no nonsense. You had to be tough to survive in Trenchtown and Isaacs, apparently, always met visitors on the doorstep with an array of abusive threats and a rusty old knife.

...After Christmas every year, I end up buying a fitness DVD and this year I was looking at all the ones available and Dance Floor Workout Vol 1 appealed to me more than any of the ones involving ex/current soapstars that probably don't even do that workout to stay at that size. From the packaging alone, DFW1 appealed because the music covers a wide range from multiple decades - Danni Minogue, Sugababes and Sister Sledge to mention a few.

...Forward the Foundation - Isaac Asimov A few facts before this review starts, This is the Seventh and final book in the foundation series. Understandable really as Isaac Asimov died just 2 weeks after completing the book in April 1992. It is widely accepted that Asimov regarded Hari Seldon as his alter ego and in this book Hari..... Well you'll have to read it. The book follows the decline of the Empire and the coming to fruition of Hari Seldons great plans and works. Mixed in are flash back to Haris? earlier days, which are used to fill in many missing parts of Haris? earlier life and some of the crisis moments of the Seldon plan. You are shown the clash between Hari and Cleon II, Emperor of the known Universe. But more importantly the manoeuvres between Hari and Cleons adviser, Eto Demerzel... Read review
