Ministry of sound review

Advantages: Good mix of tracks from trance & house genre
Disadvantages: a bit cheesy at times

I've always listened to the ministry of sound albums so i wasn't suprised when i bought it after it was first released. After a good listen to it, i thought there was a good mix of tracks spanning across trance & house, even the odd cheese as well. I really enjoy my house & trance music so needed to buy a cd that suited my music needs. As there were several cd's out at the time, i took a gamble and picked it out as i usually do. i wasn't disappointed. ...

Value for Money or Quantity over Quality?

Advantages: May be good value for money at 70 tracks across 2 CDs
Disadvantages: Melody clashes, bad mixing

...a double CD called 'The Mash Up Mix'. Sounds intriguing (if nothing else). THE MASH UP MIX CD1 has more of a chilled out laid back summer vibe. It's slightly funkier near the end but it's not particularly upbeat so in dance terms it's close to easy listening. But how easy is it to listen to some half decent tracks being murdered? The first few tracks are relatively inoffensive to the ear but the pain begins around track 7 where Marcella Woods' ...
...appreciate it. The bad mash ups by far outweigh the good, and the bad ones leave a lasting impression. Add to that the scattering of dodgy mixes and you've got yourself a typical night out at the local 'meat market' nightclub. This would be a perfect CD for the kind of people who think they like dance music but really just want a good old sing along to something upbeat. If you're pissed after a night out and a bit of a townie I'm sure it'd be an ...

Advantages: what a album
Disadvantages: n/a

Right where do I start with this review? This has got to be the best compilation CD on the planet for being both a chill out CD when played at a low volume but yet a big tunes CD that just makes you want to party when cranked. I can't fault the compilation at any point, whether it's the time of day to the mood I'm in. this compilation is a cracker to wake up to or even to fall asleep to. Here is a track listing:- Disc: 1 1. Afroman - Because I ...

How Did We Get From Jamaica To Snowflakes One Song After The Nex?

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

“Snowflakes” was released as the first Christmas album from the R&B singer Toni Braxton. Released in 2001, it finds her mixing in a range of tunes which have her taking on familiar tunes that all know from this time as well as some original compositions. It is noted for being recorded at a time when she was newly married and was expecting her first child. 1.“Holiday Celebrate” The album opens up with a track that shows that in this album we are about ...
...lts of effort put into it in order to make it sound much more than your average, quickly-thrown-together Christmas album as we get thoughtful production that mixes in the contemporary R&B trends with the Christmas-y themes for a big opener that I can't find any faults with. **Five Stars** 2.“Christmas In Jamaica” As things move on, we see there here we get what was the second album from the record and a joint that has her linking up with the Dancehall ...
