Garage Sounds Vol.4 - Various Artists

Advantages: Classic dance music from the best of the best!
Disadvantages: Already have a lot of this music on CD so a bit of a waste of money

...really good graphics as well. Cover The cover is a really good graphic of the famous Ministry of Sound logo. It is very stylish and modern and I really like it, along side the disco strobe background. On the back it has the full tracklist of each CD. The list of songs on the back are all in order of the date of when they were realesed which is a good idea so you can listen to example CD 3 if your wanting the more up-to-date songs played. Or CD 1 for the older 'classic' dance songs. When you take the CD's out of the cover slip you have pictures of part of the logo (corners etc) and unfolding it leaves you with the 3 CD's, nicely presented. Very funky! Tracklist Disc 1 1. Show Me Love - Robin S 2. Passion - Gat Decor 3. Make The World Go Round - Sandy B 4. Nakasaki (I Need A Lover Tonight) - Ken Doh 5. Break... 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

Advantages: All the good songs in one place
Disadvantages: Recycled old beats

...With three cds and over three hours of music, Pure Garage Platinum brings together the best sounds of the five preceding Pure Garage albums stretching back to 2000, whilst adding a few ‘new’ songs along the way. There are 50 tracks, presented on three black compact discs with futuristic silver and blue fonts, which match the colours on the box of the set itself. There is no specific feel to each disc but the third disc features the most new material. From the 50 tracks on the album, only of 13 them are new, so only 25% of the total. Having said that, the other 75% span five double-cd boxed sets so it is difficult to say whether it is worth buying. For someone who wants to know more about, or get into, the garage scene and wants a good summary of the last three years of garage music, you can’t go wrong with this. If... Read review
