Advantages: Ground breaking, unique Disadvantages: not a good background music CD
..., and with French horn and trumpet meddlies that will you whistling along and doing that toe tapping conducting thing people do with their feet that we all do (we do don’t we? It’s not just me is it? Oh! OK).

Fat Old Sun (Gilmour) 5:23
When the fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Summer's thunder time of year
The sound of music in my ears
Distant bells, new mown grass
Smells so sweet
By the river holding hands
Roll me up and lay me down
And if you sit don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me, sing to me
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Children's laughter in my ears
The last sunlight disappears...

Advantages: The original cast at the height of their powers Disadvantages: it might be compared to the current west end show
...The world of fantasy flies Mary Poppins into London to find two children and find fun. Each day is lesson for adults and children alike.
All classes of edwardian London contribute to the childrens education
such as learning observance with chimney sweeps. Jumping down
a street pavement painting to view horse racing of a fanciful kind.
This is time of the suffragettes when the childrens' mother plan to
help get women the vote. Each song accompanies an event.
Seeing a lady feeding the birds is an outward expression of kindness
to animals.The childrens' father works in a bank . Money is all
encompassing to his world so when the children get a gift- the
morals of thrift are taught through song.
All things are not permanent but the subject is treated with aplomb....

Advantages: A wide range of unique songs. Disadvantages: Some songs are not so favourable to me, but they may be to you!
...Russian born, new york raised singer songwriter Regina Spektor never fails to bring a unique and interesting level to the music industry. The release Mary Ann and the Gravediggers, is by far her most inventive and most "out there" album, in my opinion. Track listing is as follows:
Disc: 1
1. Oedipus
2. Love Affair
3. Poor Little Rich Boy
4. Sailor Song
5. Mary Ann
6. Prisoners
7. Consequence of Sound
8. Daniel Cowman
9. Lacrimosa
10. Pavlov’s Daughter
11. Chemo Limo
12. Us
Disc: 2
1. Survival Guide to Soviet Kitsch
2. Us (Video)
Most importantly, Regina's songs make the listener think, they are so widely varied, drawing on influences from greek mythology, with Oedipus, the myth of a boy who inadvertenly kills his father and sleeps with his mother, albeit unbeknown to him at the time...
