Smash Up Derby - Various Artists

Mash Up 2008

Advantages: Mixes/Mash Ups. Amount of Songs.
Disadvantages: Length of some songs. Only for dance fans

I recently received this 2 disc CD set for my birthday..which is on friday. It was given to me on good advice from a friend of me and the person i received it from. I imagine it was bought from HMV, as this is the only music store local to me. The price of the CD from HMV is £9.99, which is a bargain for the amount of tracks on the disks. 43 tracks to be precise. The majority of which contain 2 or more tracks mixed in with one another. The core tracks are mainly dance songs that will be familiar with most people. And the acappella (vocals) are mainly rap songs, but there are also some classic r'n'b anthems as well as dance anthems and recent dance tracks featured on the vocal side of the tracks. The album is mixed by the cut up boys, who recently emerged onto the dance scene. And, obviously, by their name, enjoy cutting songs ...

We Invented The Remix - Various Artists

Advantages: Some good remixes and the price
Disadvantages: Not many, some fillers but i suppose you get that with every album

, mainly for its heavy base line Thats Crazy - Black Rob, Missy Elliott, Snoop Dogg & G Dep. The production doesnt interest you on this one and its a shame because you turn off before Missy and Snoop get involved Woke Up In The Morning - Carl Thomas & Notorious BIG. Not a bad track but its missing something, i dont know what it is. It just plods along really, not really popular with Bad Boy fans You Gets No Love - G Dep & Faith Evans. I was waiting to see a Faith Evans track and its the last one, not too much different from her album version just a rap added really but it didnt need much tampering so a good one to finish on Probably best for fans of Diddy & the whole bad boy family thing but for the price it is, its definately worth it ...

Review of We Invented The Remix [ECD] [PA] - Various Artists

Urban Renewal (The songs of Phil Collins) - Various Artists

Advantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs
Disadvantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs messed up

An album of remixed Phil Collins tracks performed by r&b and hip hop artists. Risky, seeing as the man himself as churned out classic after classic and as you can imagine it wasnt well received by, well anyone. I did however purchase because i like Phil Collins and i like hip hop & r&b so i took a chance. I should have spent my money on buying that indoor ten pin bowling set instead. Saying that there is a couple of decent tunes on here but as a whole, not the greatest ive spent my money on Tracks Another Day In Paradise - Ray J & Brandy. The single to come off this album was received quite well, not a bad video and the brother sister duet that everyone wanted to hear. An up to date version but not better than the original. You may find me saying that more often than not Sussudio - Ol Dirty Bastard. Shocking. No resemblence ...
