Now - Maxwell

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...It’s soul. No, it’s jazz. Hang on, there’s some funk in here. I can’t decide what this album is, but I don’t care because frankly, it’s fantastic. This has quickly become one of my favourite albums of all time. The Urban Hang Suite is an ode to the joys of midnight love, but don’t let that put you off. Every single track is achingly beautiful and Maxwell’s voice is to die for – think Lenny Kravitz’s vocals, except sweeter and smoother. From the opening beats of The Urban Theme, to the closing fadeout of The Suite Theme I was completely hooked, and if you want any evidence of Maxwell’s talent, check out his cover of Kate Bush’s Whenever Wherever Whatever.

...If you are a NOW album collector like me or just want a piece of the history of NOW, you will not regret buying this album. This album is a 3 CD boxset and has songs from the 80s, 90s and the noughtys. The 80s music are on disc 1, 90s on disc 2 and the recent on disc 3. The tracks have been selected very well here. My very first NOW album that I got was Now 38. Why didn't I get all of them? Well I wasn't born at that time and NOW started 2 years before I was born. However, I have started to collect past NOW albums and get as many as I can. The nearest I got to the very first one is NOW 2 on vinyl record. I still have a record player and the vinyl versions of NOW which I have got. With this compilation album, I could not believe that all the tracks are brilliant. None of them are ones that I do not know thankfully. All these tracks... Read review

...I have been buying the "Now" CD's for as long as I can remember. When I was younger I often recieved them as birthday or christmas presents because of my love of music. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ About The CD ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now 68 was released to the public on Monday 19th November 2007. The CD's proper name is "Now That's What I Call Music" but it is often just shortened to Now. There are 3 Now CD's released every year, one around easter time, one in the summer and one in mid November. Now 68 is a 2 disc compilation CD which has 44 tracks in total on it. Each disc contains 22 songs on them sung by different artists and pop groups. ~~~~~~~~~~ The Cover ~~~~~~~~~~ The front cover of Now 68 is really bright, bold and colourful. It is a really simplistic design, and the use of colour on the cover is really eyecatching. Now Thats... Read review
