Advantages: Amazing track selection, value for money Disadvantages: None!
You might have stumbled into Skinhead Reggae in the shop and wondered what it is. It came along after rocksteady around 1968-70, with a fast beat, electronically doubled rhythm guitar stroke, and heavy organ lines. For many people it's the classic era of reggae.
To get 50 top quality and well selected tracks for this price is so good it's almost a joke. A lot of effort has gone into this CD, and it shows, with tracks pulled from all sorts of rare reggae record labels. Amongt the amazing selections are songs such as "Mix Up Girl" by The Creations, "V Rocket" by The Fabions, "What Am I To Do" by Tony Scott, "Spread Your Bed" by The Versatiles, "Qua Kue Shut" by The Creations, "History" by Harry & Radcliffe, "The Burner" by Vincent Gordon & The Dynamics, "2,000 Tons Of T.N.T." by The G.G. All Stars, "Death In The Arena" by Rupie Martin ...
Advantages: Good selection Disadvantages: As with all compilations there are some filler tracks
I bought this CD for my daughter for Christmas as she had asked, and I thought it would be full of the songs that were currently in the charts, or those that were hot predictions for 2008. That is what the title lead me to believe anyway. Admittedly, some of the songs are bang up to date, but some of them are a good few years old. Whilst this is a negative point for my 7 year old, for me, this turns it into a pretty listenable CD. Rather than do a boring track by track review, I have tried to put the songs into groups.
It opens up with come back kings Take That and "Rule The World". I am openly a massive fan and saw them recently, so this gets a big thumbs up from me. This song is from the soundtrack to the film "Stardust" and is beatifully written and performed. To me, it also shows that they can move with the times. Another comeback ...
Advantages: Fab compilation of all the hits Disadvantages: None at all
Wow! What a fantastic CD! I could tell when I listened to it, that every song had been carefully hand picked to create such a smooth album. The songs seem to intertwine into one another.
