Feline Groovy (24 Purrfext Tracks For Kool Kats) - Various Artists

Advantages: 3 of a Kind
Disadvantages: everything else

...It's a sad fact but there is only one decent track on this album, and that's only because it's so in-your-face catchy you can't get rid of it. Of course most of you would have gone out and bought it because it's 'popular'. There's no real feel to this album, just a load of bad tracks shoved together to create the worst album since Girls Aloud's. If you want music buy Yellowcard's new album or Journey South's, great voices, great tracks, all of which this lacks. Even the fact that Kool and the Gang are on here doesn't improve it. In fact, the fact that they would sink so low makes it worse! Save your money for some real music.... Read review

It's a wonderful collection bought to life by the fact that it is recorded live, you get a real concert sound with none of the over produced instrument sound and no tweaked vocals that you would find on studio produced work, you are also treated...

Disadvantages: It's got that blasted Guinness advert on it.

...As the title of this CD would suggest, it's devoted to music from cult films. Clearly a homage of the Tarantino way of doing things, right down to the name of the CD, this contains mainly groovy 70's numbers. Before I get started on the analysis of the CD, here's the track listing: 1: Little Green Bag - from Reservoir Dogs - George Baker Selection 2: Misirlou - from Pulp Fiction - Dick Dale and his Del Tones 3: Theme from "Mision: Impossible" - from Mission: Impossible (!) - Lalo Schifrin 4: Main theme from "Shaft" - from Shaft (!) - Isaac Hayes 5: Jungle Boogie - from Pulp Fiction - Kool & The Gang 6: Main theme from "The Man from U.N.C.L.E" 7: Everybody's talkin' - from Midnight Cowboy - Nilsson 8: Stuck In The Middle - from Reservoir Dogs - Stealers Wheel 9: Blue Velvet - from Blue Velvet - Bobby Vinton 10: Main Theme from...
