Locations (Global Underground Sampler) - Various Artists

Advantages: A rich tapestry of eccentricity and good, but obscure music
Disadvantages: A couple of weak tracks

...it. It gets you like that. But that ain't all for the sex and I'll tell you about it at the end... So, basically, that;'s it. I love this budget sampler. True, like all 'various artists' compilations it just has a couple of weak points, but overall it is a very appealing blend of the undeservingly obscure and the eccentric. It has fullfilled it's objective in that yes, I DO want to hear some more of some of the music on here, especially the Basil Kirchin material. Go out and buy it when you can, for around £4.99 it's a bargain. If you are a fan of the off-the-wall and the eccentric you'll revel in most of the stuff on this CD, there's nothing else quite like it, trust me... Oh, almost forgot.

As is the new one GATECRASHER GLOBAL SOUND SYSTEM. A 2cd 140 mins plus excursion of the best sound released/unreleased around. The tunes never stop coming and is one album you will not get bored of. Featuring tracks/remixes by Oliver Lieb (LSG) Bt, Moby, Paul Van Dyk, tracks from Hooj Choons label and Platipus. 33 tracks. The album is on cassette/lp/cd and limited cd and is available on incredible label which... Read review

Advantages: Many different types of rock and fantstic artists - the best of 2006 and 2007
Disadvantages: Could have more hardrock artists in and and second CD hasn't as much good artists in

...A fantastic CD with lot's of different kinds of rock. The best bands of 2006 and 2007 put in one CD. Artists like Snow Patrol, Razorlight, The Fratellies, The Arctic Monkeys, Automatic, The Ordinary Boys, The Killers, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and the list goes on. Has two CD's and has 40 tracks, 20 on each CD. Has new up coming artist such as Wolfmother. has many artists winners from the Brits: The Killers who won best national CD and best national band, The Arctic Monkeys won best British CD and best British band. The Fratellis won an award too and many more Brit award winning artists. A fantastic purchase well worth its money. A great buy. I recommend definitely to people anywhere between 8 and 100 if they enjoy that kind of music. It even has some live performing artists such as 'The Arctic Monkeys' on tour... Read review
