Advantages: So many fantastic songs Disadvantages: Could use more liner notes.
Whenever I am in a really lousy mood or have just suffered a bad day I put SamCooke: The Man and His Music into my CD player and let this gifted and truly remarkable singer/songwriter have his melodic way with me.
SamCooke was trully one of the leading and groundbreaking artists in the music industry. It is his music that leaves the most impression, however, truly proving that music, its construction from being written to being sung, is one of the most divine artforms on this sad little planet. SamCooke was nothing less than a genius. Not only did he create the difinitive versions of any song he wrote but also turned his gift to the works of others, making them his own.
On this wonderful CD we are given some of Cooke's finest moments. There is not one bad song on the album and I can hum every single tune. I am sad when each ...
Advantages: Good selection of songs Disadvantages: digipack

Advantages: Too many to list in this small space... Disadvantages: A little sluggish
The HTC Hero
I test and review a lot of mobile phones, but in a mobile phone market dominated by Apple, Blackberry, Samsung and Nokia, I can't help but have a soft spot for HTC; I think it is a British thing, a love for the underdog? But as much as I admire HTC, I can't help but worry that in trying to take on competitors like the iPhone their new HTC Hero is punching above its weight. So I turned it on to find out?
Appearance
When I was told that I was finally going to get my hands on HTC's latest handset, I thought I'd better do a bit of research? but when saw the publicity pictures I feared the worst? It looked a lot like its predecessor the T-Mobile G1, with that Jimmy Hill like chin.
