Dread In A Babylon - U-Roy

Advantages: its real deep and meaningful
Disadvantages: if you're not that into it you'll HATE it

...ok as you can gather from it's title, this one really is about maternal obbsession. having said that that's not a bad thing, as she produces some really lovely tunes. it ranges from the fiesty "fire of babylon" which is all dramatic, to the simple "my child" which is just a piano and her astounding vocals. while it's not a patch on her infamous top hit "nothing compared 2 u" , it is still a classic, with an irish rap (!!!) all inclusive. it's a real mellow out one this....

Advantages: Its gotta beat, but its NOT dance music
Disadvantages: U gotta be in the right mood

...This is a top album. Its new, why this guy hasn't been a hit before now is beyond me - glastonbury did him a hell of a lot of good.

Advantages: There are some good songs on here
Disadvantages: The price

...This CD I think is very good! I have got all the NOW’s from 38-47 and this is one of the best I think. Usually the first CD is the best and CD 2 is usually rubbish, but both of the sides are good this time. If u like up to date pop music than this CD is for you. Some of the artists on it include: CD 1: Robbie Williams- Rock DJ David Gray- Babylon Craig David- 7 days LeAnn Rimes- Can’t Fight The Moonlight *Nsync- It’s Gonna Be Me Anastacia- I’m Outta Love And more Cd2: Kylie Minogue- On A Night Like This Steps- Stomp Vanessa Amorosi- Absolutely Everybody Billie Piper- Walk Of Life True Steppers and Dane Bowers Feat. Victoria Beckham- Out Of Your Mind Sonique- Sky And more There is a down side to this, which is the price, which varies but is usually £15.99. Also, some of the other songs I have never heard of and I think they just... Read review
