Shamanic Songs Of Siberian Arctic - Various Artists

Advantages: Interesting mixture of old and new Santana styles
Disadvantages: Not all the tracks "do it" for me

...pie!) SANTANA – SHAMAN Tom Jones did it with “Reload”, and now Carlos Santana has done it, both with Supernatural and Shaman. Done what? Issue an album that is a largely collaborative work, with many tracks featuring another well-known artist, usually as the vocalist. The album contains a hefty (for these days) 16 tracks, which I’ve listed below. 1. Adouma 2. Nothing At All (Featuring Musiq) 3. The Game Of Love (Featuring Michelle Branch) 4. You Are My Kind (Featuring Seal) 5. Amore (Featuring Macy Gray) 6. Foo Foo 7. Victory Is Won 8. America (Featuring P.O.D.) 9. Sideways (Featuring Citizen Cope) 10.

Advantages: Many different types of rock and fantstic artists - the best of 2006 and 2007
Disadvantages: Could have more hardrock artists in and and second CD hasn't as much good artists in

...A fantastic CD with lot's of different kinds of rock. The best bands of 2006 and 2007 put in one CD. Artists like Snow Patrol, Razorlight, The Fratellies, The Arctic Monkeys, Automatic, The Ordinary Boys, The Killers, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and the list goes on. Has two CD's and has 40 tracks, 20 on each CD. Has new up coming artist such as Wolfmother. has many artists winners from the Brits: The Killers who won best national CD and best national band, The Arctic Monkeys won best British CD and best British band. The Fratellis won an award too and many more Brit award winning artists. A fantastic purchase well worth its money. A great buy. I recommend definitely to people anywhere between 8 and 100 if they enjoy that kind of music. It even has some live performing artists such as 'The Arctic Monkeys' on tour... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic variety of genres to cover Chage & Aska's amazing legacy
Disadvantages: Some lyrics aren't directly or loosely translated from the originals

..., albeit in English which isn't his best language. Always been a personal favourite of mine. Track 10) Marianne Faithfull - Lies The original to this, "Lies", or "Uso" sung by Chage, is one of the most emotive songs they've produced. There is a real sense of loneliness and sadness caused by a lover, but at the end shows that life isn't so bad. Unfortunately Marianne Faithfull just sounds bitter as if she's out for revenge. The music is somewhat close to the original, but in my opinion was ruined by MF's vocals and poor translation of the lyrics. Track 11) Wendy Matthews - Walk The best cover by another artist on this track for Chage & Aska. Wendy Matthews put across an almost very good translation for Chage & Aska's "Walk". Really nice to listen to Overall, a good album. Chage & Aska and Wendy Matthews were the highlights... Read review
