Gainsbourg - Made In Japan - Various Artists

Advantages: Real talent, it's not about money, Massive tunes
Disadvantages: Limited edition

...be tempted to get one as this tune has one of the most catchy riffs i have ever heard. Other tracks such as '1AM' by PK contain an element of daft cheekiness that seems to be missing from a lot of techno/trance these days. The second mix is more of a showcase for the talents of the members of TR systems, a collective who run parties and club nights in Portsmouth with contributions including a chunky hardhouse tune from Karl Lost, a flatulent squelcher of a tune by D.A.R.Y.L and two epic acid trance monsters by matrix22. The Sinister Drum Scientists also put in an appearence with a rolling meatgrinder of percussive techno on the final tune. Even if i wasn't so impressed by the music on this compilation i would probably buy a copy anyway in order to support what they are doing.

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

...This cd is an absolue bargain. I would highly recommend purchasing this as Bad Boy and Puff Daddy are well known for producing good remixes and the series of albums was a very good idea, another money spinning venture but one for the fans who had remixes on b sides of cd singles and recorded off the radio! Special Delivery - G Dep, Ghostface Killah, Keith Murray & Craig Mack. Quite a repetitive tune but a cult favourite. More likely to hear it in the clubs I Need A Girl Part 2 - Ginuwine, Mario Winans, P Diddy & Loon. Video and single released off the back of the successful part 1. Some say they prefer this version, i actual do and its one of the best tracks on the album Bad Boy For Life - P Diddy, Busta Rhymes & MOP. A shouty version of the original. Not bad but too much going on lyrically for me, my ears couldnt take it I Need... Read review

Advantages: Multiple viewing advised to fully appreciate the movie
Disadvantages: Quite a short tale

...Having wrapped filming on Trouble In Mind, Alan Rudolph went to work on his next movie. Having been inspired by Divine's performance as someone not in the movie too much, but having a presence across the whole piece. He sought out an unusual character for one of his key players in his next movie Made In Heaven. Divine declined the offer to follow Rudolph into this project having already agreed to work on Hairspray with his old buddy John Waters. Made In Heaven is a romantic drama entertaing a thought that you can love the same person in both Heaven and on the Earth. Mike Shea has just been dropped by his girlfriend who has decided to marry a long time rival of Mike's. Annoyed with what has transpired Mike heads off to California to make a new life for himself. Not 100 miles into his travel Mike sees a group of people standing in... Read review
