Time to PARTY!

Advantages: Everything is their
Disadvantages: It may make your Local go bust.

I first heard this CD in a friends house at a party and i remember asking if it was one he made himself, because of all the different tracks. He told me he had bought it at the local supermarket. The next day i went and bught myself a copy for £5. I love this CD, i think it has every song that you would want to hear at the pub without having to go to the pub. With tracks like Daisy Bell, Shine on Harvest Moon and Im looking over a four leaf clover ...

Buble bubbles with this album

Advantages: Great performer
Disadvantages: Lots of covers/versions, but this should not put people off

First, let me just say that I am surprised I am the first to review this product. I expected more to have wished to express their views on the Canadian Crooner, but I guess I am wrong. Here goes: Michael Buble (apologies for the missing accent at the end of his name) is a man who loves music. In the same mold as Jamie Cullum, he performs covers of classic standards as well as writing and releasing his own music. And he is very good at it, too. Of ...
...for many years. His music reflects this while imposing his own mark and passion on his albums. 'It's Time' is Buble's 2005 album. It contains a feast of 13 classic tracks, including his hit release 'Home' which he wrote himself and is not a cover. There is also a duet with Nelly Furtado, 'Quando, Quando' and a track featuring Chris Bott, 'Song For You'. These are the tracks: 1. Feeling Good 2. A Foggy Day In London Town 3. You Don't Know Me ...

The Choirboys

Advantages: Many great songs
Disadvantages: There are a few disappointing songs though

This is a CD with music from 3 choir boys, Ben, Patrick and CJ (aged between 10 and 12). The Choirboys were formed after a nationwide search in nearly 50 churches and cathedrals with over 100 boys auditioning and eventually the 3 boys were chosen from Southwell Minster and the choir of Ely Cathedral. This, their first album, contains a lot of varied music with traditional music like Miserere, Pie Jesu and Panis Angelicus, the theme music from TV ...
...other songs like Tears in Heaven and He's Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother. Tracks on this CD include: 1. Ecce Homo (Theme from Mr Bean) (written by Howard Goodall) This song is sung by a choir (English Chamber Singers) and accompanied by an organ which seems to be playing the same thing over and over again, and the words also seem to be repeated a lot but it's quite a short track and so isnt too bad - in my opinion it isn't one of the best songs ...

Paint the Sky and Get a Tingle Down The Back of Your Neck

Advantages: A very haunting album to listen to and very relaxing
Disadvantages: Track 11 could be longer

Paint the Sky with Stars by Enya is a classic album. Every track is excellent and so relaxing to listen to, one song just flows into another and great to listen to when you want to unwind after a hard day’s work. She has a haunting voice that gives me a tickle on the back of my neck; I could listen to her for hours. Let me take you through the album. Track one: The famous ‘Orinoco Flow’ this is a chirpy song and the chorus line every so often ‘Sail ...
...drums. What a great choice for the start of the album. Track two: ‘Caribbean Blue’ with its soft strumming guitar start, and then she starts to sing. Her voice is something else. If you close your eyes you can imagine the tide ebbing in and out, I can almost feel the water lapping around my feet. Track three: ‘Book of Days’ a piano plays all the way through this very catchy track and the background choristers really compliment Enya here. Track four: ...

domineoveniteosacramentum....

Advantages: great atmospherics
Disadvantages: fairly short album

There is a current resurgence in solo female artists making chilled out atmospheric music, Dido obviously springs to mind amongst others. What we should not forget is that it is a style that has always been in evidence and one of the best innovators of the genre is Enya. What you first notice about the music is its haunting quality and the use of vocals as much as an instrument as to deliver specific lyrics. About half the tracks are instrumental ...
...Spanish and Gaelic are all used. This is not as off putting as it may seem as this is not the sort of album you would sing along to. The words blend in to be more part of the music than something that sits on top. It is very much a back ground sound and creates a soft and relaxing vibe. Even though it contains the single Anywhere Is, its not really an album where individual tracks matter, only the overall feel of the piece. Where as the current ...
