Original Album Classics (I Sing The Body Electric/Sweetnighter/Mysterious Traveller/Black Market/Night Passage - Weather Report

Advantages: Contains all the best tracks from the film
Disadvantages: When i think of one il post one!

...album, containing 12 tracks: Bill Medley + Jennifer Warnes - (I've Had) the Time of My Life (04.50 Mins) The main song from the film, everyone should know what this song is like! It starts with a slow romantic introduction and then comes in the catchy guitar rift. The bridge and chorus are timeless, everyone can sing along - even those who haven't seen the film. A good upbeat tempo that's easy to dance to. When I hear this song I always think of "no-body puts Baby in the corner" and the fantastic finally dance at the end of the film, including that lift! Ronnettes - Be My Baby (02.39 Mins) I think what makes this song so great is that it was originally released in 1977, and so you really get a feel for the classic era. An up-beat tempo, you can't help but shake your hips the second you hear the drum beat! A very sexy song... Read review

...Knight). But don’t let this hitherto anonymity of the artists put you off. With no reputation to cement or live up to, there are fourteen women here who are singing for their supper. 1968-1974 was, for soul music, a golden age when ideas were in abundance and the merest groan or howl of a black female on vinyl had the artist tagged as a diva. Everything here is impossibly funky. With some of the beats and the rhythms, you can see how the sampling culture of late 80s hip-hop artists caught on so rapidly: there is much booty here for those crate diggers. So what of the individual tracks? Well with so much attitude going on here, I’ve marked the tracks out of five and, due to the constant message of these tracks, I have given a YKSMIWSS (You Know She Means It When She Sings) reference too. Hold onto your afros, we... Read review

Advantages: Great Songs, Makes me Dance & Smile, Bloody good Lyrics
Disadvantages: They are all too young to fancy me. Ho hum.

...review so apologies for any random ramblings that have nothing to do withthe CD in question, Im more at home in the Cafe but i had to write my humble appraisal of this brilliant band. I watched the Mercury Music prize awards the other night and smiled a big toothy grin as they won the £20,000 cheque and the award for Best Album of the year. Thom Yorke didn't look too happy as they drunkenly, i suspect, clambered towards the podium and claimed it was due to 'Good tunes and no tricks' that had won them the award. I couldnt agree more. This has been my album of 2006. Its been played more in my car, my bedroom and my kitchen whilst i have done the dishes than any other CD. I have even started waking up singing songs as soon as i open my eyes. Jesus. The Album is full of 3 minute pop indie tracks. Alex makes funny wise cracks... Read review
