Funky House (The Essential Horny House Selection) - Various Artists

Advantages: Excellent mix of old and new songs
Disadvantages: None that i can see, if you buy this you know what to expect

...! and straight after I Luv U Baby (The Original) we move further upbeat and house style to Make the World Go Round from Sandy B (excellent vocals on this one) and finish with Fatboy Slims Praise You. There are lots of other tracks inbetween but i have picked out the ones for special mention. Those are my favourites, i would suggest you buy this one as it really is worth it and the tracks on it really make it to be The Very Best Euphoric Funky House Breakdown.... The Authors tastes generally edge towards Hardcore (mostly Happy Hardcore) but is happy listening to anything, CD Price is 11.99 GBP from Virgin Online with Postage included although im sure you could probably get it cheaper somewhere else. Running Time is 151 minutes so you easily get your moneys worth, The label is Ministry of Sound which is an almost guarantee of good quality... Read review

Advantages: Great triple CD
Disadvantages: None

...Essential Afroboeat is essential if you are in any way interested in Afrobeat music. The CD sleeve notes bake a somewhat bold claim. "This is Afrobeat: The past, the present and the future. Contributions to this compilation come from all the corners of the Earth, with influences from every culture of the world. Fela said that Africa was "The centre of the world."

But are these sleeve notes right? Yeah. I guess they are, pretty much. There's a glittering array of some of the best of the most talented musicians from Africa. There's Fela Kuti himself, with his super-eclectic style, which combines elements of R&B, Reggae, Ska and some hard pushing... Read review

Advantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs
Disadvantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs messed up

...An album of remixed Phil Collins tracks performed by r&b and hip hop artists. Risky, seeing as the man himself as churned out classic after classic and as you can imagine it wasnt well received by, well anyone. I did however purchase because i like Phil Collins and i like hip hop & r&b so i took a chance. I should have spent my money on buying that indoor ten pin bowling set instead. Saying that there is a couple of decent tunes on here but as a whole, not the greatest ive spent my money on Tracks Another Day In Paradise - Ray J & Brandy. The single to come off this album was received quite well, not a bad video and the brother sister duet that everyone wanted to hear. An up to date version but not better than the original. You may find me saying that more often than not Sussudio - Ol Dirty Bastard. Shocking. No resemblence... Read review
