Long Hot Summer, A [PA] - Masta Ace

Advantages: Good mix of tunes
Disadvantages: Not enough modern material

...Donna Summer has had mixed fortunes over the years, mainly thanks to some alleged homophobic comments Summer was supposed to have made during the mid-1980s when AIDS was first being properly recognised. However, the music has to be priority and this is a good collection of songs. The main styles are disco and pop. Here's a track-listing. 1. Love To Love You Baby (Single Version) 2.

Love Is In Control (Finger On The Trigger) 16. State... Read review

...!): Jason Perry – Vocals. Daniel P. Carter – Bass, backing vocal and shouting. Giles Perry – Keyboards and backing vocals. Mark Chapman – Guitars. Adam Perry – Drums and Yin’s. ** How Ace Are Buildings? ** Anyway I am drawing your attention away from the review of the CD, here we go: * Turn it Up * The first track on the CD is a kind of intro track to the Album, it uses some of the lyrics form the other songs on the CD. It is a good mellow introduction to “A” and leaves you unaware of what you are about to hear! If that makes any sense at all please say!?! * Foghorn * The second track on the CD, this is a very fast punk rock track with very catchy lyrics, you’ll be singing a long in no time! This song is about a person who doesn’t want to know about all the latest... Read review
