The Unbeatable Sound Of Motown

Advantages: Every Track's a Classic!
Disadvantages: None as such!

...managed to capture and encapsulate such a unique, distinct sound with such a wide range of diverse singing talents. The classics on here are timeless and enthralling. Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection is both superb and timeless but also essential to any serious Soul/R&B collection! Ian Phillips ...

Hardcore Adrenaline - A True Underdog Story

Advantages: Very cheap. Genuinely great tracks found within. Good variety.
Disadvantages: For this price... none.

Hardcore Adrenaline. An album set up to compete with the other hardcore compilation series : Hardcore Heaven, Clubland Xtreme Hardcore and Bonkers 2 years ago. H.A. is the album that appears to have had the lowest budget. This probably explains its extremely low retail price. This is not to say HA is not a brilliant album however :). Basic Details Tracks: 55 Approx total runtime: 239 minutes Featured DJs: DJ Seduction, Stu Allen Label: ...
...Hardcore Adrenaline 2 & 3 Sub-genre: Hardcore/Happy Hardcore Warning: Parental Advisory, explicit lyrics. Best Price: £5 Price per Track: £0.09 What is Hardcore? For those of you whom quite like dance music as a whole but don't quite know what makes hardcore different to other types of dance music, for instance the music featured in Clubland 14, I will give a brief introduction. Hardcore has a faster and heavier sounding beat. The beat ...

Naaah! Funk Beef!

Advantages: A couple of big tunes
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

Bringing what was their seventh album under this name, Funkadelic released their seventh album in 1975. The George Clinton-led Funk band (who also went under Parliament for their more Soul-based work) came with “Let’s Take It To The Stage” with a line-up that included Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell , Fuzzy Haskins and most of the other regulars. 1. “Good To Your Earhole” They get the album underway with something expectedly strong as you find that ...
...and knew exactly what they were capable of as an act and so they lead the way nicely with some lively Funk material that makes the most of all aspects of the band and their unity that makes for such impressive work (that was seen to lead the way for all others working in this genre at the time). **Five Stars** 2. “Better By The Pound” With this one you see that you get Boogie Mosson laying down a hard groove on the bass to take them in and take them ...

Jill, You Know Jill

Advantages: Bangers throughout
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

...makes it appeal to those who won’t really get themselves into anything with such a twist to it. **Five Stars** 15. “Watching Me” Sampling a little something from the Acid-Jazz pioneer Roy Ayers, you see that you get a straight killer tune here as with this one you see that she is backed up by some raw Hip Hop beats with some light synth grooves giving it melody before she gets back to the spoken word (which later develops into raps) to mix things ...
...can’t contain her music and will go off in whatever direction it takes her. **Five Stars** 16. “Brotha” Sampling some classic Jazz in a simple piano loop (borrowed from Allen Toussaint) and I felt that it was a perfect way to set things up as she shows just how well her material seems to fit in with more traditional music (even though Neo-Soul is so progressive in its ways). It is another that shows her working at an optimal level, up to a standard ...

CCC: Crip Clux Clan. Crip Crip Crip, Cs Up...

Advantages: A few bangers
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

In 2001 the duo of Goldie Loc, Tray Deee and Snoop Dogg released their second album as The Eastsidaz. The Long Beach, California trio came to bring what would become their final album together, due in part to the fact that Snoop Dogg wished to move on to other projects and Tray Deee was sent to prison for 12 years soon after and so “Duces ‘n Trayz: The Old Fashioned Way” would mark the end of a time when a distinctive West Coast sound would have ...
...2. “I Luv It” They get things lively with a DJ Battlecat-produced two-stepper that gives it a distinctive late nineties-to-early ‘00s West coast sound that takes heavily from the sounds of G-Funk from earlier on during the former decade but has things updated to hit in with the new developments in what they are capable of delivering by this point. Kokane of Above The Law comes to assist on this one too for a banger of a jam, in addition to Snoop ...
