Advantages: Lots of great songs Disadvantages: None :)
...I recently bought Usher Raymond's new album, 8701 which was released on Monday 9th July 2001 in the UK. The album features the smash hits 'pop ya colla' and 'U remind me'. Some other songs are 'I dont know', 'Twork it out', 'Can U help me', 'T.T.P' and 'U-Turn'. He sometimes sings with P Diddy and J.D. The album has the lyrics on the inside so you can sing along to it. There are also pics of Usher. All the songs were written by him or with P Diddy or J.D. There are 2 interludes. The longest track is 'How do I say' which is 6.23 mins. The shortest is the interlude - 8701
I really reccomend this CD to anyone....

For anyone who have not experienced Operetta, this provides a good introduction.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the recording....

The Hannibal version, called Gourmet Valse Tartare (ha, ha), might be described as Strauss' Blue Danube written after having dined on mushrooms (not your usual kitchen species, mind you), inhaled some wacky smoke, or drunk some potent brew—it's still Strauss—but with a psychedelic, drunken twist. Composer Klaus Badelt uses some dissonant and off-key notes to achieve a playful, humorous and whimsical effect, while staying true to the spirit of the Johann Strauss original.
Of course, there is the melancholic Aria da capo from the Goldberg Variations of J. S. Bach, lifted from a recording by Glenn Gould. Sublime? Yes. And elegant. And quite fitting for the character of Hannibal, I think. I...
