Mostly from the 80s, not many hits & almost no disco tracks

Advantages: The 6 number 1 records
Disadvantages: The rest of the tracks are rubbish

Well the title itself is a misnomer for starters as the disco era was a fairly short period during the mid 1970's as disco was ousted from the music scene by Punk and the 80's were ruled by 2 Tone Ska then the New Romantics and synth music at least as far as the UK went any way. Disco may have lived on into the 80's in America but it was replaced by electro, hip hop then rap followed by House music. Wikipedia even openly admits that disco died in ...
...elsewhere during the 1980s", probably in less fashionable countries that hadn't adopted whatever was popular from England or America by then. Take it from someone who lived through all 3 decades, disco was dead and gone by the 1980's. So whats on this album then? 1. High Energy - Evelyn Thomas. This was #1 in a few places in 1984 but can't really be classed as disco even though its origins are rooted there. The track name did spawn a new musical ...

Classic Euphoria 3CD

Advantages: Great tracks, classic mixing, seriously chilled.
Disadvantages: Avoid second-hand copies..........

...is much better than the Classic Euphoria Level 2 which I also have. Highly chilled and with top tracks like; Chicane "Saltwater", Art of Trance "Madagacar", William Orbit " Barber's Adagio for Strings", Olive "You're Not Alone", Push "Strange World", to name but a few. It features long mixes and about 3 "Chicane" numbers which are all brilliant. Not deeply chilled but not intrusive. Sit down and relax to this compilation, it does wonders for me. ...

Sound Of Bassline 2

Advantages: Worth the money and hours of great, feel-good tunes
Disadvantages: Have to be in the mood to listen to it

...music and I brought the Sound Of Bassline Vol 1. which I thought was really good so when I heard the Sound Of Bassline Vol 2. was available to buy I didn't hesitate to buy it. The first time I listened to it I instantly enjoyed it and couldn't wait to hear the next song. Each CD met up to my expectations, I thought the songs were genius and I wouldn't go a day without listening to them at least once. Would I recommend this to other people? Yes, ...
...there, but remixed and all sound excellent. My Personal Opinion I am very pleased with this album and is definitely different from other albums I have brought in the past. Some of the material on the album is not well-known yet but still brilliant. Although, there are popular tracks on there that everyone will have heard of but they have been remixed and I believe sound better than the original. It was worth every penny. I paid £10.00 for this ...

Review of Sound Of Bassline Vol.2, The - Various Artists

Hold Up! Weren't There Three Of You Before?

Advantages: A couple of decent tunes
Disadvantages: Generally weak

...predictable collaborator in Treach of Naughty By Nature on this one as he comes to deliver some raps on this one for a bit of a twist to things, and here we see that they come with a club tune. It seems like an excuse to do this type of tune when you consider that the first two leading up to it were just like this too and so if it was on its own it might be bareable, but here it just blends in as another one you won't really like. **One Star** 4.“This ...
...worse as they come out with another very generic song and one that features yet more unimaginative lyrics that really doesn't have anything to it and is bound to put you off from the offset as they bring one that completely moves away from the 'Christmas' theme that pushes the album along, and is more concern with amending problems in the relationship they are in. **One Star** 5.“Ahh Hell Nah” We see that here we get a track that has them showing ...

Review of Naughty or Nice - 3LW

How Original; An 'Untitled' Album

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: One weak track

R. Kelly released his “Untitled”ninth album in 2009. It finds that the R&B veteran (who made his breakthrough in 1991 as the lead singer of Public Announcement). Here he makes his comeback after a relatively short time out dealing with personal issues and getting back to form as he moves on from his 2007 release “Double Up”. 1.“Crazy Night” The album kicks off with a straight banger of a track and one that you simply won't be able to ignore if you ...
...2009. It finds him working with Rock City, one of whom come out with a heavy Dancehall toast over the thing to link in with Kells' choice to do it all with a Caribbean accent as he sings and half-raps to what can be called his version of Ron Browz' “Pop Champagne”. **Five Stars** 2.“Exit” Here we see that he comes out with a tune that seems to calm things down a little bit from the hyped club atmosphere towards one that is set in the same sort of ...
