Urban Renewal (The songs of Phil Collins) - Various Artists

Advantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs
Disadvantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs messed up

An album of remixed Phil Collins tracks performed by r&b and hip hop artists. Risky, seeing as the man himself as churned out classic after classic and as you can imagine it wasnt well received by, well anyone. I did however purchase because i like Phil Collins and i like hip hop & r&b so i took a chance. I should have spent my money on buying that indoor ten pin bowling set instead. Saying that there is a couple of decent tunes on here but as a whole, not the greatest ive spent my money on Tracks Another Day In Paradise - Ray J & Brandy. The single to come off this album was received quite well, not a bad video and the brother sister duet that everyone wanted to hear. An up to date version but not better than the original. You may find me saying that more often than not Sussudio - Ol Dirty Bastard. Shocking. No resemblence ...

Review of Urban Renewal (The Songs Of Phil Collins) - Various Artists

Housework Songs

Advantages: Good rhythms to do the housework to, some excellent songs
Disadvantages: Some songs will appeal to some and not to others.

Housework Songs is a double CD compilation album. The idea is that these songs are all suitable to listen to whilst doing the housework so easing the load and making the dutiful chores a little more enjoyable. On the front cover is a picture of a woman (rather sexist, men do the housework too! At least they do in my house!) singing into her vacuum cleaner. There are 41 songs on the album and there is a good mixture with something for everyone. We have songs from the 1960s including "Pretty Woman", and "Respect", in the 1970s we have "You Sexy Thing" and "American Pie", the 1980s gives us "Fame" and "I Think We're Alone Now", the 1990s gives us "Over My Shoulder"and "Moving on Up" then from the 2000s we have "Spinning Around" and "The Closest Thing To Crazy." I love this album it has such a fantastic mix of songs, all of which I ...

Review of Housework Songs Vol.1 - Various Artists

Sing Song

Advantages: Loads of music for your money, wide variety
Disadvantages: I've not seen all the shows

perfectly happily. The problem is, the songs on the first CD are called track 1, track 2, track 3, etc. And the songs on disk two are called track 1, track 2, track 3, etc. And so on. Windows Media Player will rip them all into the same folder, which means you'll have to rename the first CD otherwise the second will write over it, and so on. This is an irritation, but the songs are all happily on my computer and MP3 player now, and play without any problems. ~~~ The Tracks ~~~ ~ Disc 1 ~ With One Look - Sunset Boulevard Another Suitcase in Another Hall - Evita All I Ask of You - The Phantom of the Opera Heaven On their Minds - Jesus Christ Superstar Half a Moment - By Jeeves Whistle Down the Wind - Whistle Down the Wind I Believe My Heart - The Woman in White Only You - Starlight Express Anything But Lonely - Aspects of Love Any ...
