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

Some of the other tracks were almost up to this standard but were too boring and didn't catch my attention. ...

It's a compilation of songs from variousartists and the one thing that they all have in common is that they each tell a story. Considering that most of the tracks are only three or four minutes that's no mean feat! Most of the songs are very well known although as the album was made in 1995 there are no recent hits on there but there are certainly some timeless classics such as Elton John's Candle in the Wind and Up the Junction by Squeeze.
Inside the CD case there is a pullout leaflet which provides all the lyrics for all the songs which is great for if you want to sing along. Also, there is a brief introduction to the story behind each of the songs which is ...
