Review of Ultimate Collection [Remastered] - Eurythmics

The world moves on a woman's hips.....

Advantages: Superb remastering of a seminal album
Disadvantages: None worth quibbling about

...superb extended line-up for the Remain In Light tour, performing "Crosseyed And Painless" and "Once In A Lifetime"; alas, the promo vids for these two songs are not included. A particular shame, given the legendary status of the "Once In A Lifetime" clip. An abjectly essential purchase, and while I'm aware that as a 36 year old I may never again experience the (aural) visceral rush I got when I first heard this album, at least I can console myself ...

Review of Remain In Light (Remastered & Expanded/+DVDA) - Talking Heads

Perfect Blondie

Advantages: To get the best of Blondie without having to get the "Best of Blondie"
Disadvantages: None

One of those few albums that I would call "perfect". Every track a winner, from those you may know to those you should know. Thankfully, now that we have CD versions of this album, we have eliminated the only bad thing about it. Having to turn the record over halfway through. The rawness and originality shine through. The sound of past rock 'n' roll, the punk era and some future sounds, make this seem as modern as the day it came out. I've got ...

Review of Parallel Lines [Remastered] - Blondie

ADVENTURES IN POP ART: THE FOURTH ALBUM

Advantages: Still effortlessly cool
Disadvantages: Dodgy bonus tracks and a couple of weak songs

What do you do to follow a groundbreaking album? That was the problem facing Blondie in 1978/79 following the massive success of 'Parallel Lines', their third album, one which had spawned a slew of single successes in the form of 'Hanging on the Telephone', 'Picture This', 'Sunday Girl' and, perhaps most famously, 'Heart of Glass'. The importance of 'Parallel Lines' cannot be understated as an album which brought punk into the mainstream and gave ...
...Chapman was back on board, an important figure in Blondie's drive for pop perfection, and the line-up had settled with vocalist Debbie Harry, lead guitarist Chris Stein, rhythm guitarist Frank Infante, bassist Nigel Harrison, keyboardist Jimmy Destri and drummer Clem Burke. Following up such a monster album as 'Parallel Lines' would be a difficult task and at times it does seem like the band were working against the clock to rush-release a follow-up ...

Review of Eat To The Beat [Remastered] - Blondie

' TEENAGE DREAMS, so hard to beat! '

Advantages: 26 Top Quality Songs!
Disadvantages: The neighbours will tell you to turn the volume down! :P

...good. ' Undoubtly The Undertones most famous song, Teenage Kicks - and personal favourite of Radio 1 DJ John Peel. This song is often know as the Undertones legacy, a band that started in the 70's, springing out of Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The members of the band were all teenagers and their song lyrics, a reflection of teenage life. There first album (self titled) was released in May 1979 under the Good Vibrations label, and what a debut ...
...beat like many of the undertones songs, with Fergal's voice blending in well with the guitars. It's a little more drab than some of the others songs though, but still is interesting enough. 2 Girls Don't Like It --> 'But What else can you do if the girls ( gyirls) don't like it?' This song has a repititive guitar rythm and is catchy, with the words mixing well with the music with help from the guitarists singing along. This is one of the songs ...
