Mercadante: Musica Sacre a Stile Operistico

Advantages: Fairly cheap, surprisingly good range, customer services, fairly cheap p&p
Disadvantages: Selection is 'hit and miss', navigation, site organisation, delivery speed

...By now there are a whole host of online shops challenging Amazon, such as bol.com, hmv.co.uk, play247.com, the list is seemingly endless. Well, add to that one more music shop - www.musica.co.uk. It?s a fairly new site I think; I couldn?t find any information on the site about how long it had been going or who was behind it, but it looks fairly new and basic and I hadn?t heard of them until last week. So why did I order from them? Well, simply I got sent a £10 voucher to try the site, so I thought I might as well check it out :) (the joy of contacts in high places?) When I got to the site, it didn?t look too promising. There?s a central white piece welcoming you to the site ?Musica takes the hassle out of selecting and buying music CDs. International dispatch worldwide. Simple rounded prices. Chart CDs at £10.00. Average discount... Read review

Advantages: Sting at his sultry best
Disadvantages: None

...sings, but he is a very proficient musician, and is able to play, the mandolin, guitar, piano, bass guitar, saxophone, flute and oboe, and that is not all. Putting the differences with the other Police members behind them, Sting invited Andy Summers to guest star on his 1987 album release ?Nothing Like the sun? and both members have joined Sting on stage at various times through his solo career. October 2003 saw the release of Sting?s latest album ?Sacred Love?, which can be purchased from CD Wow for £8.99, or from play.com for £7.99. The opening track ?Inside? begins with an echoing noise, and sounds slightly Oriental, before the introduction of an acoustic guitar, and Sting?s vocals.

Advantages: Beautiful church, great views of Barcelona below.
Disadvantages: None

...On a recent trip to Barcelona, I went on a city tour to take in some of the sights that we had missed on our last visit. A place I was really looking forward to visiting was Tibidabo Mountain, which is the highest peak in Barcelona at over 500m above sea level. Anyone who visits Barcelona will not fail to notice Tibidabo, and this is due to the imposing church of Sagrat Cor (Sacred Heart) which stands at the top of the mountain, and the impressive statue of Jesus Christ on the highest spire of the church. On travelling in and out of Barcelona, seeing this church and statue on top of the mountain is a fantastic sight. The church is the work of architect Enrique Sagnier, and building commenced in 1902 and took 60 years to build, so it is actually not that old! The church is unusual in that it is built as a church on top of a church... Read review
