Painting On Silence (Mixed By Parks & Wilson) - Various Artists

Advantages: Nice thought, initially great --originals--
Disadvantages: Not the LP originals but cover versions, horrible voices and bad sound quality

...Dear Ciao members and Linkin Park fans, My first Ciao test report ever will be on >A tribute to Linkin Park<, a CD by various artists which you will find listed below in the track listings. [Please don't be too hard on my English, as my maternal language is German ^^° ...But let's get back to the report!] As said in the title, the CD is tributed to the American Nu Metal band Linkin Park which inspired the CD (as all of the tracks are simply cover versions of their own hits, in fact), whereas the band itself was not engaged in the process of CD making (and I'm not even sure whether they are informed about its existence at all...). ***** The CD - some brief info: ***** CD release date: September 23, 2002 Number of discs:1 Label: Anagram ASIN: B00006HCKM Price: £8.99 (you will find the CD @ www...

In a revolutionary move, a clubbing first, one of the most talked-about events ever was Gatecrasher at Lothario Hall, Leeds in 1999. 10,000 people congregated to listen to over 20 leading DJs and artists from all dance genres.

I confess that this is the one and only Free track I have ever heard, so any recommendations for Free albums will be greatfully received. An artist who I have heard a lot of (every track actually) is Robbie Williams. Here midway through the second CD is the anthem for young and old 'Let Me Entertain You'. Another track which does not jump out as deserving to be here, as the guitar riffs are few and far between, but it is a welcome inclusion for me, because I warn you, what follows is a very mixed bag, which starts with 'Oh Well' from Fleetwood Mac.
