High Jinks (The Mose Allison Trilogy) - Mose Allison

Advantages: A quality album from the German thrash artists
Disadvantages: None

...Agony of Death is the Holy Moses' 12th album in a career which spans back to the late 80s. Despite the years having passed, the band haven't changed their style and what you get here is a blast from the past with Holy Moses' brand of relatively simple yet productive thrash metal. The heavier brands of metal tend to be dominated by technical bands these days, so it's nice to see these guys blasting it out like thrash gods (& godess) Sabina's vocals are particularly enjoyable, the queen of rock n roll was one of the first and is still one of the only women to have mastered the death growl. I would say her voice being female adds a hidden dimension to the death growl which actually makes it sound harsher than ever. This is a great album and my favourite track is the electrifying World in Darkness. Fiery and immense, it is a must buy... Read review

Disadvantages: can be expensive depending how quick grown out of

...We got told by so many people "don't buy a moses basket....complete waste of money....will only last a few weeks....couple of months at the most"! In our case, those statements were complete nonsense. Our daughter was 7lb 3oz when she was born and 49cm in length (the average-sized baby). The first night we had her home, she looked like a little dot in her big cot - in fact she didn't look very comfortable at all. The following morning, my husband drove up to Kiddicare in Peterborough to purchase a moses basket for her, together with the Mamas & Papas Rocking Moses Basket/Carrycot Stand. The stand cost £26.99 and the basket (Zeddy & Rhubarb) cost £68.00. Normal Mamas & Papas retail price for the basket is around £86.00. As far as I know, Kiddicare are no longer stocking Mamas & Papas products, but I believe Glasgow Pram Centre (www... Read review

Advantages: Nice colours/finishes
Disadvantages: Poor value for money

...I bought the ivory version of this stand for my little boys moses basket. It was quite a bit more expensive at £32 compared to other stands, but I wanted a stand in white/ivory & also one that had the option of rocking. The stand is very good quality and finish. A bit tricky to put together (takes 2 people to hold all the bits). There are 2 plastic discs that can be adjusted to (supposedly) stop the stand rocking, but don't rely on them to stay put & do the job they're supposed to! On the downside, I was hoping to be able to use the stand for the babys bath aswell, but it didn't fit on this stand (perhaps it's just my bath, but being a M&P bath I hoped it would fit). At the end oft he day, I should have gone for a cheaper version - my son didn't much appreciate the rocking, & I found it easier to put the basket on the floor with regards... Read review
