Advantages: Songs have all charted at some point Disadvantages: Songs have all charted at some point
This is my first review on music, so if anyone has any comments on how I might improve the review they would be more than welcome.
Manumission
The Ibiza Classics Collection.
Presentation:
It's a collection of 3 CD's (48 Tracks) that come in individual jewel cases within a cardboard sleeve. Personally I always end up throwing the sleeve away and the jewel cases are particularly thin and don't fit too well in stands etc. The artwork is pretty basic just a large M with what appears to be a collage of Manumission posters within it, on a white background. Each CD and the sleeve has the same artwork. The individual cases only list the songs there is a separate sleeve that lists the date of release, producers etc.. This is slightly annoying if you do not wish to keep the cardboard sleeve as it will not fit into the CD cases.

I am 16 going on 17, the fact that I am listening to 'chillout' music is a great shock, i thought it was only the type of music that overweight management executive yuppy types endure or rather enjoy, i was wrong.
This album contains songs made famous by many influential artists and groups. For example it contains songs by bands such as Westlife (Flying Without Wings) although i absolutely loath the band and to be quite honest the song too and The Corrs (Runaway, Erin Shore) and artists such as Enya (May It Be) and Charlotte Church (Carrickfergus). The actual people who ...
Advantages: Great sense of fun and music abilty, lacking ego! Disadvantages: The Automatic and Fiddy!
Covers have always been a bit of a hit and miss affair. Some people do it well, some people don't. It can be commercial suicide and ruin artists' credibility. The recent trend over the years, pushed particularly by Radio 1 DJ Jo Whiley, and other ventures such as Warchild, is that an artist can perform live, or record a cover and still retain their credibility and not come over as a sell-out. Maybe it's just that people have lightened up a little, or maybe it is just because there are things like the Live Lounge, that encourage well-picked songs to do as a cover.
Granted that the concept is not a new one, and even Jo would not say that. But, I think the idea of the Live Lounge is maybe new. For the last couple of decades, musicians and music lovers have been concerned about what is cool and what is now. Noone would have dared ...
