Deep Night - Barbara Rosene

Advantages: another outstanding album from Mobb Deep
Disadvantages:

...Mobb Deep produces some of hip-hop’s best night music – it’s dark, stark and cold. The Queensbridge duo (Havoc and Prodigy) manage to consistently create their own distinctive East Coast sound which benefits not just from what they put in to it but what they leave out. They have a stark and minimal style that matches their cold and practically emotionless lyrics. Mobb Deep are one of the most consistent hip-hop acts out there. This is their fourth album (although few heard of them prior to “The Infamous” which brought them to light with the anthem “Shook Ones Part. II” before that they were still developing their own unique style with “Juvenile Hell”). When a hip-hop act brings out a great album, it’s usually the case you have to prepare to be disappointed with their next release, well Mobb Deep are one of the few exceptions. Mobb Deep...

Advantages: Contains well loved, classic, Purple tracks
Disadvantages: There are a couple of songs not to my personal taste

...Deep Purple were one of the first heavy metal bands and this greatest hits album shows some of their evolution from a softer more ballad-like sound to some seriously rocking heavy tracks. No one who enjoys hard rock could be without some Deep Purple. Singers David Coverdale (who went on to form White Snake) and Ian Gillan (whose band was called Gillan) went on to have enormously successful careers after leaving Purple, yet they will always be best respected for their work while members of this influential band. Probably the most easily recognised guitare riff in rock history is that of Smoke On the Water, an all-time favourite track for many fans of the genre. This album is definately one for your collection if you are new to Deep Purple. It is a real piece of rock history. The tracks, other than Smoke On the Water are : Black... Read review

Advantages: great discomusic to move you bootie to
Disadvantages: not for the lover of dramatic, thematicaly composed musicals

...A party CD for every Saturday Night you have! Sway your hips to the classic BeeGee hits like Staying Alive, Disco Inferno, How Deep Is Your Love and Disco Inferno. The cd includes the songs as performed in the stage musical starring Adam Garcia (who has also recently starred in Wicked in London) in the role created by John Travolta in the film). The role of Stephanie is sung by Tara Wilkinson, showing a wide vocal range. Adam and the cast do a great job at the songs, and for me the songs are more living in these versions than in the BeeGees pop versions. My personal favourite is the fourth track, It's My Neightbourhood with the ensemble getting into the groove. Also notable is How Deep Is Your Love, presented as a beautifull duet! This is the kind of musical you can definatelly use as party music, as background music, as any music... Read review
