Advantages: Impressive DJ'ing. Disadvantages: Tracklisting a bit strange.
Kiss FM london first brought my attention to these two belgian DJ'S, who also have their own Indie band, Soulwax.
2 Many DJ'S are the kings of the "MASH-UP" - thats DJ terminology for a bootleg or two or more tracks fused together to make one.
Steven and David Dewaele are behind 2 Many DJ's and it took them a staggering 36 months to get this album licensed, and it is not surprising they have taken 46 tracks, crossing genres to make one hour long CD that will have you dancing and scratching your head and asking your pals to "name that tune"
2 Many DJ's have taken eclecticism and given it thier own unique spin, the album is a must have and was one of the best selling albums of 2002.
The CD opens with a Live version of Emerson, lake and palmers "Peter Gun" that they slowly blend into a basment jaxx tune, the album sails ...
Is there still an avant-garde?
A burning question which many people want to try and figure out an answer to is whether or not there is still an avant-garde that still exists today. There are numerous arguments in which attempt to clarify whether or not this is apparent in today's art or not.
Avant-garde in French means advanced guard, front guard or vanguard. Many people often use the term to refer to either works or people that are navel or experimental, particularly in reference to art, culture, aswell as politics.

Advantages: Built to last, Built to drive and built to enjoy Disadvantages: A little heavy on petrol - aim for a Diesel iy you want to pinch pennies
Built like a tank, extrememly comfortable to drive and goes like stink.
Excellent gadgets, interior to exterior visibility, comfort, handling and a great sound system too.
Only down side is that the MPG is a bit heavy (mine is a 2.4 SE V6), and that those with chunkier thighs may get a bit of a bash as the central console is a bit high.
Possible the best car I have driven, well beyond that of BMW tourings, Range Rovers, Land Rovers, Merc estates and even the wonderful Focus Estate.
Worth looking at as a used car if you're looking for a slightly newer Megane or Focus estate or similar as the depreciation will save yourself a fortune.
Great for a family of 4, and even a dog. Will go on forever and I'm intending on keeping mine until I keel over!!! ...
