Myleene's Music for Mothers

Advantages: Great songs, great lyrics, Sharon den Adel's fab voice
Disadvantages: Might be too high-pitched for some

...sung. 14. The Dance [Live] (4:54): Another live track, and again, a very different sound to the rest of the CD. Like 'Enter' it's a lot more gothic sounding, and I have to admit, not my favourite track. **DVD** My version of this CD is a special edition and has a bonus DVD. I'll just comment on this briefly. The DVD has live performances of Never Ending Story, Caged and Mother Earth, as well as the Mother Earth music video and a backstage report. Seeing the band perform live is pretty good, and the music video for Mother Earth is good to watch as well. I've not watched the backstage report, because it is in another language, and although there are subtitles, I haven't had the patience to concentrate on it yet! The DVD is a good addition if you're a fan, and when I bought my copy of this CD, this special edition was cheaper... Read review

Advantages: brilliantly creative
Disadvantages: short track listing

...What other band could you expect to create such a fantastically creative and musically blinding album...none, because it would seem in this world the task is only in the capabilities of Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother provides a stunning colabiration between soft rock and the honest style of classical and progressive music.

Further to the actual musical content... Read review

Disadvantages: not a good background music CD

Pink Floyd have by this time come out with at least 2 albums worthy of noting, ‘Ummagumma’ and ‘the Piper at the gates of dawn’ Atom Heart Mother is a wonderfully engineered Album, bringing together, vocals, piano, keyboards, synthesisers, drums and lots more which will be explained as I go through the tracks! The album for me means a lot – it is a fantastic ‘listening to’ CD but crap ‘background music’ I love to listen to it quite loud in a darkened room with a few beers and let the music take me on its journey, and what a journey it is, it takes me through the sad paces (if I’m melancholy – oh god! I’m using hippy words!!) I even tear up a bit. It takes me to the happy places and it even takes you through the places that leave... Read review
