Golden Afrique Vol.3 - Various Artists

Advantages: Bouncy, traditional scots music
Disadvantages: Quite hard to get hold of

...**What Is It?** The Celtic Collection vol. 3 is Ceilidh music. A celidh, by the way, is a dance with only scottish dancing. This CD has 12 tradtional songs so it would be great if your where hosting a Ceilidh or if you just love dancing! This is a one disk CD written by various artists. **Quality of Music?** It is great! It is very clear and you can hear the accordion espiecially well! There is no voice in this and only the main folk instruments accordion,fiddle and a little drums. It is very well recorded so you can put it as loud as you like or a softly as you like and you can still hear it clearly. **Cover Quality** Very nice. Has a celtic not around the edge as a border then a view of the ocean. Think it is Loch lomond but not sure? Anyway very nice picture and the back with the traclist is clear. It does lack color...

Advantages: Great songs
Disadvantages: The extras are rubbish and some weaker songs on it

...Reloaded Vol 3 I bought this CD when it first came out in 2001. I remember wandering around Woolies with about £30 in my pocket. I bought this CD and another compilation album. I think it cost me £14.99 but of course now it's 4 years later. You can find it on Amazon for about 50p and on Ebay starting from 10p. For 37 tracks, I think that's a big bargain.

The cover is a lovely army camouflage which figures through out the CD case and it says Massive Hits From … The lay... Read review

Advantages: Great jazz tunes from the Golden Age
Disadvantages: None

...guitar to back a song sung by man asking "Whose Honey Are You?" Indian Summer, by Sidney Bechet is a simple jazz refrain, which is as warm and as welcome as an Indian Summer. Sidney Bechet, feel some people, is one of the neglected heroes of the Golden Age of Jazz. He should not be. Art Tatum's Stormy Weather is a good tune, much performed down to this day by score upon score of artistes. This version is a good, simple version of this classic tune. Just played on the piano, using a lilting style that is fully conversant with the jazz idiom. I paid about £5.00 for this, check on Ciao for the current price using the Ciao price comparison service.... Read review
