Advantages: Quality and reliability of drive Disadvantages: Outdated and discontinued model
The Teac 532 cdrom drive is an cd-rom reader that is designed to be fitted internally into a PC.
I had this unit in my PC for about 2 years before I decided to upgrade the whole system.
I paid about £120 for this drive and at the time 32x read speed was about the industry standard. How times change as now we are looking up to 72x read speeds on cd-rom drives, which make this unit look positively tortoise-like!
Specs
This cd-rom drive is compatible with operating systems up to Windows 98. It has a 32x read speed and needs to be fitted into a IDE interface inside the computer.
The drive measures, (W) 5.75? (H) 1.65? (D) 7.56?. It weighs 2.65lbs. Overall these are the standard measurements for a cd-rom drive, otherwise it wouldn?t fit into your computer!
On the front panel of the unit, from left to right there are ...
Advantages: Good range of tasks, keeps kids involved and interested, genuine learning tool Disadvantages: have to wait for sounds and instructions to finish before you can interact.
make an animal or object appear with a voice over telling you what it is. My son watched the screen with great interest for about 30 minutes and started trying to say some of the items and looked very pleased with himself so very fast results there.
FInally, each activity also has a "printables" section and variable skill levels that affect the controls as well as the difficulty of the task in hand. A minor irritation was that you couldn?t use the mouse until any talking or animation had finished which may frustrate younger children that couldn't understand the need to wait. Apart from that though this is a fantastic title. If you only buy your toddler one CD-ROM, make it this one. ...
Advantages: An interesting albion band line-up Disadvantages: Nothing too exciting
I wish I liked this album more than I do. Ashley Hutching's' latest combo to fly the Albion Band banner features the ubiquitous songstress Kellie While and the multi-talented Joe Broughton on fiddle, mandolin, keyboard and guitar.
The trouble is, the album doesn't hang together. Sure it sounds like the band were having fun, but this is an album woefully short on quality. Two songs stand out: the soulful When My Son is Grown and She Still Waits. The majority of the album is humdrum and certain tracks like Cookery is the New Rock'n'Roll risk taking the Albions into Barron Knights territory. Even the excellent She Still Waits has its impact lessened by a spoken sub-Coney Island into, pretentiously titled It is That Window of Time.
Roadmovies is a student film at best, and only of interest to die-hard Albion fans. Punters new to the group ...

Album Reviews
Mojo (7/01, p.97) - "...Insidiously bewitching..." The Wire (6/01, p.63) - "...Mines the potent combo of wistful folksiness, brooding electronics and field recordings....striking a chord of nostalgia the moment it is made..." NME (6/30/01, p.40) - 6 out of 10 - "...Youthful recollecitons....Neotropic's great strength remains Riz Maslen's wide-eyed fusion of sounds....there's a heavy folk tilt to her electronica here..." Uncut (8/01, p.97) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...This is electronica at its most organic..."
