Slightly disappointed

Advantages: 2 Discs
Disadvantages: Not so good tracks

Much to say, much to say. I admit that there are very few good tracks on this CD, look I am even using the word good, Ministry of Sound compilations are meant to be great! I found that too many of the tunes on this CD were rather old and already over played, for example MyMyMy by Armand van Helden. I do admit that there are some very good songs like Feel the Vibe by Axwell and A Studio- S.O.S. The rest I am largley disappointed especially disc two ...

Review of Funky House Sessions (A Glittering Mix Of Sexy House & Funky Disco) - Various Artists

The remedy to crappy music

Advantages: Original, intelligent, different to most other predictable, cheesy dance music thatis around at the moment.
Disadvantages: One track: Bingo Bango. Let's the side down a bit.

So. I'm white dot bloke am I? What kind of stupid system is this? I'm not impressed with Ciao at the moment, what with crappy pay systems, derogatory community ratings, etc. but I was bored, so I decided to put another opinion on the site. So I looked through my music collection. Because my music collection rules. Apart from my Limp Bizkit CD, but the less I say about that, the better. But sifting through my albums, some of which are scattered across ...
...And remembering how much I liked it last time I listened to it, I put it on. And somehow, after about a year of not listening to it, it sounds even better than it did before. Perhaps this is a result of the sad state the music industry is in today, which has forced me to lower my standards musically. But one thing that is for sure is that this album is a classic. Everyone should own this. And if you don't own it, why not? The Basement Jaxx boys, ...

George Is Not So On

Advantages: Some good modern songs.
Disadvantages: Not as good as previous albums.

I approached this album with an open mind, as I've been a follower of all things Deep Dish since I was introduced to them in the Renaissance arena at Ministry of Sound at Knebworth. They were immense that night, and my purchase of Yoshiesque 1 & 2 that followed was nothing less than a life-shaping experience, influencing the direction my musical tastes take even now. I've also been pleased with the Global Underground mixes. I bought Junk Science, ...
...I was disappointed. Apart from 'Mohammed Is Jesus' and 'The Future of the Future', both of which I had already heard, loved and played ad infinitum, the album was for want of a better word wishy-washy. ...and that brings me to the tracks on this album. The first time I heard 'Flashdance' was (unashamedly) when I downloaded a low quality promo on a p2p network. Shortly afterwards I went to see Deep Dish in the Radio 1 Essential Mix arena at Creamfields. ...

Review of George Is On - Deep Dish

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 ...
