Advantages: Original, something for everyone Disadvantages: None
I recieved the first album way overdue no less than two months ago. and i loved it. every track infact. so with Radio ones live lounge being one of my faviroute albums i was excited to hear that live lounge two was out aswell.I cant stop listening to it. every track on there is so original, if its not a song performed by a different artist its the artists song but done with an acoustic guitar making it simple but in some cases better than the original ? complicated ? It doesnt matter whether you hate pop beceause theyll be a rock/indie band covering the song and vice versa. its a breath of fresh air. my faviourte track being the girls - calvin harriss. hated the original dance like song but love this as it is an acoustic cover and more to my taste. a must have for all music lovers. ...
Advantages: Loads Of Great tracks! Youll find yourself enjoying songs you hated Disadvantages: Some obscure artist that you may not know
I recently borrowed this CD off a friend after seeing adverts for it on the TV, and after hearing the 1st album I thought there is no way the second one could be better. However I think I was proved wrong.
It has some brilliant cover tracks on it, sung by some of the people you would least expect. Some of the tracks performed with an acoustic guitar somehow sound much better than the originals! The tracks all come from Jo Whiley's live lounge (she's a Dj at Radio 1 for anyone that didn't know!)
It's a great CD where else would you hear Maximo Park singing 500 miles! (Originally by the Proclaimers) or The Enemy covering Madonna's hit Hung Up. I can guarantee that you will find yourself enjoying songs that you have previously hated! I know I did! Even if you do not know some of the artist on the CD it doesn't mean they wont be good ...
Advantages: More great tracks of popular songs sung by original & alternate artists Disadvantages: Some slightly more obscure artists on this one
lounge classics such as Coldplay - Yellow, The Zutons - Valerie, Kasabian - Empire, and also unique covers like Natasha Bedingfield - Chasing Cars (Snow Patrol), Avril lavigne - The scientist (Coldplay) and The Enemy - Hung up (Madonna)
My personal favourite is Keane - Dirrtylicious, a wicked rendition mix of Christina Aguilera / Destiny's Child. Fun and funky!
The good bits - Good mix of original artists singing their own tracks as well as the re-mixes of popular tunes sung by alternate groups/ artists. Quality recordings throughout, and in my opinion you can't beat live recordings for sussing out the sheer talent and worthyness of artists.
The bad bits - I have to admit that i didn't recognise some of the artists featured on the CD when I went through them, but that may be down to me not being very worldly wise in the music scene ...
