Engel Lund's Book Of Folk Songs (With Pianoforte Accompaniments By Ferdinand Rauter) - Various Artists

Advantages: Relaxing story telling music with a bit of heart
Disadvantages: Too boring

...OK album, with a nice mix of different artist most of which i have never hear of before. As you can probably tell I'm not usually into this kind of music but being someone always looking to expand my musical horizons, I thought i would give it a go but was not too impressed. Most of the songs featured were not too impressive, many of which sounded very boring and generic for the genre. Track 15, Green Fields of France - Furey & Davey Arthur was probably one of the most impressive tracks on the album; this song featured delicately sung lyrics and an impressive story which i think is based on world war 2. Some of the other tracks were almost up to this standard but were too boring and didn't catch my attention.... Read review

Advantages: A selection of the finest tracks released by big name artists.
Disadvantages: Song styles mixed and varied, but not enough.

...too good. I am impartial, but this really doesn't hit the right spots of the ear drums for me. 6/10 8) Goldfrapp - Ooh La La This really is a weak link within the album. Reminds me of one of Rachel Stevens songs from the past. Repetitivity outdoes this song to the point where all I can do is hear the beat going over and over again. 4/10 9) Mylo vs Miami Sound Machine - Doctor Pressure Definitely a song that could have a use in a dance club. Something that could be used as a floorfiller even. But there is not a lot of originality in this. As there are so many dance/trance style tunes out that have such a similarity. 6/10 10) Bob Sinclair featuring Gary 'Nesta' Pine - Love Generation Really, a cultural mix here from two not-so-well known artists in my book. Mixing a style of guitar based pop with something approaching reggae... Read review

Advantages: Many different types of rock and fantstic artists - the best of 2006 and 2007
Disadvantages: Could have more hardrock artists in and and second CD hasn't as much good artists in

...A fantastic CD with lot's of different kinds of rock. The best bands of 2006 and 2007 put in one CD. Artists like Snow Patrol, Razorlight, The Fratellies, The Arctic Monkeys, Automatic, The Ordinary Boys, The Killers, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and the list goes on. Has two CD's and has 40 tracks, 20 on each CD. Has new up coming artist such as Wolfmother. has many artists winners from the Brits: The Killers who won best national CD and best national band, The Arctic Monkeys won best British CD and best British band. The Fratellis won an award too and many more Brit award winning artists. A fantastic purchase well worth its money. A great buy. I recommend definitely to people anywhere between 8 and 100 if they enjoy that kind of music. It even has some live performing artists such as 'The Arctic Monkeys' on tour... Read review
