Dealer, The [Remastered] - Chico Hamilton

Advantages: Very addictive, you cant help but sing along
Disadvantages: This is one you will hear over and over, everywhere

...This is one of they songs that get stuck in your head all day, your trying to concentrate and all you can think about is jumping up and saying "what time is it, its chico time" or you hear other people using there name insted of chico's "what time is it, its Pete's time". Whats worse is that you know this is going to reach somewhere near the top ten, here we are working away when all you have to do is think up a song that will get stuck in peoples minds until they cant cope. This is the way to get some extra cash. If a goat farmer like chico can do surly we can. There is not much more I can say about this as you have probably already heard this, if not (look out, its coming). On a serious note, you will love this, this is one for the karaoke machine. You will never get away from it so you might aswell buy it and get... Read review

Advantages: Lyrics, great indie-pop, remastered and bonus tracks
Disadvantages: Not entirely justified for already firm Five fans

...Cold and Composed' is probably one of their most underrated songs and only after consistent listening and seeing it live [See: Ben Folds Five's Sessions at West 54th St DVD] will many understand how well arranged and written it is along with, quite frankly, just about every track on 'Whatever and Ever Amen'.

This song is a perfect example of Folds' masterful arrangements and the powerhouse performers this trio really are. If you... Read review

Advantages: Great tracks, great lyrics, original, its Bob Marley.
Disadvantages: They only include one extra track. No need for remastering. Its too short.

...This is Bob Marley's third album on the Tuff Gong label and has been digitally remastered and made up to ten tracks with the addition of ‘Am-A-Do’, a track that fans might recognise from the ‘Talkin’ Blues’ album. Natty Dread is the first album to be released after the original the ‘Wailers’ split, leaving Bob to form partnerships with his three backing singers the I-Threes. Released in 1974 after former band members Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh had left, the album was supported by the Natty Dread Tour of USA, Canada and England, including dates at the famous Roxy Theatre in LA and the Lyceum in London. Natty Dread is a change from the previous ‘Burnin’ and ‘Catch A Fire’ albums with a few lighter tracks to make you smile. Maybe not as groundbreaking as Catch A Fire, the album does contain the studio version of the all time hit ‘No... Read review
