A Favourite Thing
Advantages: Great music Disadvantages: Some duds
Faithless are one of my favourite artists. In case you don’t know Faithless are made up of Maxi Jazz, Jamie Catto, Sister Bliss and Rollo. This foursome have had a huge amount of success, and still seem to have their feet on the ground. I am a huge fan so forgive me if I seem biased. Anyway this album starts brilliantly with the title track, and it is the deadpan tones of Maxi Jazz which make it work so well. My favourite lyrics have to be:
... ...so take a pace back, face facts- you don’t need eye’s to see you need vision’ Next comes ‘Don’t leave’ a very sickly love song, and I’m not at all sure about Catto’s vocals. This song doesn’t have the ‘Faithless’ touch (maybe it’s due to the fact that it is written without Maxi Jazz’s input?). Overall a very forgettable track.
Things perk up with ‘Salva Mea’, ...

Not quite everything is wrong
Advantages: Interesting, Original and often Fun! Disadvantages: Not to everybody's taste
...connotations of the title, not everything is wrong. This album, for example. Completely different to anything else Moby has done, but then, this is a man who changes his musical style more often than Henry VIII changed his wives. The album starts with the rather sedate Hymn, then going into a sudden change of mood with Feeling so Real, which can be a bit of a shock should you not expect it. This isn't an album for all the "me-toos" who jumped on ...

Dance, Dance, Dance and dance some more!
Advantages: Fun, dancey, great disco Disadvantages: Lyrically not great, might not be everyone's cup of tea
...follows:
1. Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)
2. Everybody Dance (12" mix)
3. Strike Up the Band
4. Chic Cheer
5. Le Freak
6. I Want Your Love
7. Good Times
8. My Feet Keep Dancing
9. My Forbidden Lover
10. Soup for One
11. Savoir Faire
If you are interested in disco, but don't want to invest in just compilations, this is a good start.
Where to begin describing this? Funky basslines, groovy guitar riffs (everyone knows 'Good ... ...(Hear Me Tonight)', you'll realise that riff is from 'Soup for One'.
One thing that could be an advantage or a disadvantage is that all the songs are the full versions. This could be bad if you're dancing, because you're going to be tired by the end of the 8 minute 'Everybody Dance'!
I love every song, but personally, I think the two weakest are 'Soup for One', and, particularly, 'Chic Cheer', because it just doesn't really go anywhere.
Lyrically, ...

Can't Nobody Do X-Mas Like...
Advantages: Lots of big tunes Disadvantages: One weak track
...5 Christmas Album” is as the title indicates a Christmas-themed release from the Indiana Pop, Soul and Disco group The Jackson 5. Released in 1970, it was their fourth overall album (in spite of making their Motown debut the year before) and finds that Jermaine, Michael, Tito, Marlon and Jackie come together to bring a record that has them both covering classics and bringing new, original songs too. 1.“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” The ... ...have a soothing tune from the act as they bring forward something that al are bound to find familiar and one that enables them to bring forward the Soul end of their music to show just how they are able to transform a tune that all know by giving it a spin that suits the direction of their music and what they had brought with the two other album from 1970. **Four Stars** 2.“Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” As things move on we are brought to a track ...
