Fashion TV 2002 The Mix - Various Artists

Advantages: If you want a very generic mix CD this could be for you.
Disadvantages: Many tracks are either remixes of commerical hits, or at least 4 years old.

...and impressive - leaves a lot to be desired on this particular album. The mix from ATFC into Guru Josh is perhaps one of the laziest pieces I've ever heard from Hed Kandi, with the beat from ATFC simply fading down in the most unsubtle of fashions once the 'Infinity' vocals kick in. Clearly the different Beats Per Minute were too much of a problem to try and merge together, as the beat that then kicks in is totally different and out of sync with the build up of the CD. Having purchased the Hed Kandi World Series: Ibiza a few months before, I had high hopes that Kandi was getting back on track and still a top quality music brand. Unfortunately I regret to say that this is without a doubt the worst Kandi album I've ever purchased. Many people have bemoaned the loss of Hed Kandi from a once serious, relatively non-commerical brand under Mark Doyle... Read review

Advantages: Some good remixes and the price
Disadvantages: Not many, some fillers but i suppose you get that with every album

...A Girl Part 1 - Usher, Loon & P Diddy. Great chorus and catchy lyrics from usher, definately one for the ladies but a really popular tune. Unfoolish - Ashanti & Notorious BIG. Loads of radio play this one, mixing Biggies old tune, i think the video got more airplay than the original and another cult classic Dance With Me/Peaches And Cream - 112, Ludacris & Beanie Segal. Great mix with the two best tunes from the 112 album. Great r&b club tracks and more cult classics No More Drama - Mary J Blige. Compared to what has come before on this album, the Mary track falls just short. Its a mid tempo track which is just middle of the road So complete - Cherri Dennis. I can basically repeat the same as above, not really much going on Notorious - Lil Kim, Notorious BIG & P Diddy. Nowhere near the original in my opinion but my brother loves it... Read review

Advantages: appeal to all ages
Disadvantages: few songs are repetitive

...The twilight soundtrack is a mix of artists from paramore to muse, Its a mixture of styles, ranging from upbeat, rocky sounds to slow melodic sounds. Some of the songs are very catchy like linkin parks 'Leave out all the rest' and 'decode' by Paramore. Also included in the album is 'Bella's lullaby' by Carter Burwell for all you twi-hard fans! This album (for me) is something i would definitely recommend to buy as it has music for everyones tastes, and is an album for all ages. The one thing that i will point out about this album is sometimes it does have a knack of sounding slightly repetitive, and out of fifteen songs i would recommend twelve out of fifteen that are positively cheerful, singalong songs. I have to say though that having the album out so early does mean that twilight fans have the chance to singalong and get... Read review
