Friends In The Can - Canned Heat

Advantages: Great collection of songs
Disadvantages: Candy by Mandy Moore seems to be missing

...Centre Stage is one of my favourite films and the soundtrack is one of the things that make it so. I can't listen to Michael Jackson - The Way You Make Me Feel or Jamiroquai - Canned Heat without thinking of the dance routines and trying to re-enact bits too. The CD has 14 of the best songs from the film as follows; 1. Mandy Moore - I Wanna be with you (the one where Jodie and Cooper get it on) 2. International Five - First Kiss 3. Ashley Ballard - Dont Get Lost in the Crowd 4. P.Y.T. - We're Dancing (plays at start of closing credits) 5. Thunderbugs - Friends Forever 6. Cyrena - Get used to This 7. P.Y.T - A Girl can Dream 8. Jamiroquai - Cosmic Girl 9. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground (the jazz class routine) 10. Elvis Crespo and Gizelle D'Cole - Come Baby Come (Salsa club and throwing sponges) 11. Michael Jackson - The Way... Read review

I like this album but not as much as Secrets, that is definately her best.... Read review

...If you want to waste your time this is the album to do it with ! Now how many of you thought that was insulting, well its not so read on.... Music to waste time to, on those days you arrive home and you've got to waste 15 minutes while your wife cooks your tea. When the girl friends on the phone to her girly mates and you need a fix of something other than "oooh he’s so funny and have you seen his mate...". .Whip this out slow methodical tunes you can turn it on and off when you like you can listen to it for ever it never seams to end. Its background noise but the good stuff. The stuff you want in the background at the trendy pub you always frequent not some fool who decides prodigy is what he likes to talk over. Buy it for that pre-party feeling, while you run about trying to save your burnt chicken and heat up that frozen desert.... Read review
