That FSOL'sPapua New Guineais a classic record is an undisputed fact. Celestial choir ... more
voices, colourful bird song, nebulous synth swirls and wistful flute all conspire to conjure up images of a tropical paradise, and its iridescent beauty has touched many a soul over the years. Whether it justifies an entire album's worth of remixes though (all done by FSOL) is a different matter. The opening track is the original version--so far so good. The "Papsico" mix takes the tune up to even higher plateaus of happy escapism, while translation number three, "The Lovers", ushers in a slick jazz-funk groove and added bongos. However, at the end, a particularly lengthy electric guitar solo sneaks in. This is the turning point.The initial chinks of doubt are widened as the "Wooden Ships" mix employs even more guitars for a slightly epic, prog-rock remix. Things get back to the dancefloor for a second on the breakbeat-fuelled "Great Marmalade Mama In The Sky" mix but less than a minute in and guess what? Yep, more Clapton-style squeals. By the time you hitthe deplorable "Requiem", you realise the whole thing is an indulgent farce and FSOL have let the hype go to their heads. Do yourself a favour and stick to the original single, which has still never been bettered. --Paul Sullivan

Advantages: Stunningly beautiful, friendly English speaking people Disadvantages: Dangerous, unless you follow stringent rules.
happy hour a friendly Australian wearing the ubiquitous shorts which they all wear out there,introduced himself to me with the usual goodday mate."Australian are you?" I enquired. "No mate" he replied "Came out here 30 yrs ago from Peckham in London and ain't never been back"
Their local lager-type beer is deliciously refreshing and their wines, mainly Australian, are very good too from a comprehensive selection.They will appily open a fresh bottle from their wine rack behind the bar if you don't like the opened ones on offer. If you like Pool, it is very popular - you will soon get challenged by locals and ex-pats alike, - you don't pay if you keep winning so it cost me quite a bit!
The bar is long and the whole room is spacious and a huge area is set aside for gaming machines which sadly are very popular here. However their presence ...
Advantages: Educational and fun Disadvantages: It is quite costly
have an incoherent or annoying interactive voice but not so with this; it is clear and concise and we have had no problems understanding it.
The look of the globe is fantastic and the layout of the countries are excellent considering they have squeezed every country in, even San Marino and Equatorial Guinea have a mention! Countries are a mixture of pastel shades which is a great idea as my daughter can remember where the country is, from its colour. All capital cities are highlighted and on larger countries other major towns and cities.
The interactive part of globe is the key feature and everything comes to life when you use the pen to probe for further information, there are ten information categories including:
AREA - Gives the total area of a selected country in miles and kilometres.
HIGH POINTS - Give the highest point in ...
Advantages: Upbeat, funky, a future classic Disadvantages: Some songs go on too long!
FutureSex/Lovesounds - Justin Timberlake****
A second album is always hard many say it's the make or break of an artist's career. When you have also had several albums with a chart topping boy band, the pressure must be huge. Plus, Justin Timberlake has had a multi-million selling debut that must be a mass of pressure. Under all this pressure, has he created an album that critics will rate or simply slate?
Futuresex/Lovesound*****
The opener of 'FutureSex/Lovesounds' is like an 80's Prince song meets Michael Jackson if he had ever done sexy rather than freakish. Its all about sex? how strange with such a title I thought it would be all about love not 'all I need is a moment alone, to give you my tongue and get you out of control, after you let it in, its skin to skin, so natural'. Lucky Miss bloody Diaz. Smooth, synth heavy ...
