Searching For The Dolphins (The Complete Soul City Recordings And More 1967-1971) - Al Wilson

Advantages: Will provide your dog with all it's dietery needs.
Disadvantages: none

...As an owner of a Chocolate Doberman and a German Shepherd, I had to choose a food that was fairly priced and full of all the goodness both my dog's needed. After trying a few dry dog food's, I discovered Wilson's original Complete Dog Food for working Dogs. Wilson's of Dundee have been feeding working Dogs since 1958 and seemed to understand the dietary needs of many breeds of dog. The food has been developed to provide your dog with boundless energy, excellent body development and stong bones and muscles. Just what I needed for my two big giants! It is made from carefully selected ingrediants which include high protein chicken and fishmeal with pellets plus locally produced cereal flakes.. This dry dog food also contains linseed oil, a natural source of fatty acids, to give a highly digestable source of energy, plus all... Read review

Advantages: First time on cd for many tracks
Disadvantages: pastiche agenda limits wider appeal

...a dozen top tenners ,the unheard of but unforgettabe "Baby its you" sounding like a note perfect cover version of a song thet never existed provided the agenda for most of the first album included here ,and the nearly hit "Wonderful"with its flutes and strings still sounds fresh and innocent,and innocent being a perfect adjective to describe this enjoyable experience . Mostly remembered for her bee hive hair do and cod glamour ,"The Platinum Collection" offers a opportunity to show Mari Wilson in a more complimentary light ,being at least as entertaining as her contemporaries of the time like The Belle Stars and the Paul Weller sponsored Tracie!,the obvious nostalgic agenda can irritate after a while but then again this record is not designed for repeated plays merely quick bursts of sunday morning youthful recall. This is the first time... Read review

Advantages: original, clever, meaninful, deep, occasionally funny
Disadvantages: gimmicky, demanding, pretentious

.... Marcus' journey through the circles of hell as embodied by the hordes of drunken bikers in Assen is modelled on Dante (the Dutch original is titled Dis which is the name of an infernal city in the Divine Comedy), but it's Dante seen through the lens of the black humour (not uncommon as a reaction to the horrors of the last century): a cackle on a mass grave, so to speak, and the space Marcus and Jacob travel through is as much the inner space of the tormented souls in search for love and redemption as the external (even if hallucinatory) hell visited by Dante and Orpheus. Breathtakingly erudite, unashamedly modernist, earthy, ghoulish and lush at the same time, "In a Dark Wood" captures the reader to take him on a mesmerising trip. It offers no firm conclusions, but the trip is worth taking, and possibly even retaking, notwithstanding... Read review
