Output 64 (15 Ideas How To Treat Commodore 64 Game Tunes In The 21st Century) - Various Artists

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Some relatively old tunes

...Id like to tell you about this little album I stumbled across the other day! It has 3 CDs full of great tunes, some commercial ones such as Sandstorm by Darude and Operation Blade by Public Domain, which you may already have, but there are lots of others that you may not have heard before, such as Illusion by Antarctica and Book of Revelation by Ovation, 40 tracks in all.

...This Moloko album is as addictive as chocolate… At first I thought the album was very strange and bizarre, and if you're new to Moloko I can guarantee that you will too. But I gave it a few more chances before I got a refund and now it's one of the privileged CDs that regularly spins in my CD player. So what's so bizarre about Moloko?

It is a great album, one that i would personally see in the shop and buy, but having said that i am more drawn to the tracks on CD1, however that tends to be typical of my compilation listening habits, I'm usually drawn to one CD more than the other, or I'll go through stages of listening to one of the CD'S then when bored I'll listen to the other one until boredom prevails! It is quite a full and varied compilation CD, 21 tracks on each CD, mainly dedicated to to 2003 to 2006 but many tracks from the 90's, even one from 1989 has escaped onto the album! CD ONE contains tracks from the 21st century, mainly 2006. My personal favourites of CD ONE are; THE AUTOMATIC monster (my daughter... Read review
