Rains/Reigns Of Change - Marc Ellington

Advantages: It's Fantastic and timeless
Disadvantages: None!

...land' . He has also been called the 'Reigning king of salsa' - high praise indeed. So, that's the official line on Marc Anthony. I first became aware of him in 1999 when I lived in Madeira. MTV frequently played his single 'I need to know' and I absolutely loved it. A short while after, I holidayed in Mexico and found this CD on sale and had to buy it. I am not exaggerating when I say this is probably the best CD I have ever bought. So much so, I begged Ciao to let me review it! His music is timeless and in the four years I have had this CD, the music has not aged and neither has it become boring. Marc Anthony has a haunting voice, full of emotion. A voice that literally brings tears to my eyes during many of his songs. He sings from the heart and he is not afraid to bare his soul. He sings mainly of love (admittedly most of his songs...

Advantages: Pure Head-Banging Metal from start to finish!
Disadvantages: I haven't got to see them live yet!

...Reign In Blood is absolutely brilliant and will no doubt take pride of place within all heavy / black metal fans CD collections! From Angel of Death to Raining Blood the Album is phenominal, with Henneman and King playing some amazing guitar solos - especially in Angel of Death. It's one of these Albums that you just blare at the top of the speakers and you can't help but jump around as if you were watching them live some of the time (or maybe that's just me!). I would have loved to have been 10 years older so that I could have seen Slayer live in their prime but it was not to be! Any Slayer fan will surely already have this album, but if not then I would definately recommend without any hesitation!... Read review

Advantages: Great for Bolan fans
Disadvantages: none

...From his early days as Marc Feld to his name change to Marc Bolan he had dreamt of being the Superstar he eventually climbed to be, almost since he left the womb. From John's Children ( his first band ) to Tyrannosaurus Rex in the late sixties, he slumbered with the elves and danced with legendary creatures on camomile lawns. He saw his destiny on a silver cloud and sliver clouds don't lie. He was by no means your contemporary Rock Star, he almost lived in the fantasy worlds he had read about in the early years, fixated on dreams and things that couldn't be, but then don't we all a little. He certainly didn't lack in the ego stakes either, but that can be said for pretty much most Rock Stars. This album takes you on Marc's Trip from the soft acoustics of Tyrannosaurus Rex to the much more raunchy electronic tones of T.Rex, from 1969... Read review
