Studio One Roots Vol.2 - Various Artists

Advantages: GREAT MUSIC
Disadvantages: NONE

...so many drum & bass, cds so little time Pick this one . nicely selected, well programmed, and a good overview of the genre, This takes you from the roots of D+B to its present day dizzy heights, this well priced two-disc set is what you need to get a party going. from Goldie and Roni Size to the Rebel MC with a little bit of LTJ Bukem to smooth things out in a smooth fashion. This cd is a really good two hour history lesson and is a great reminder of just how great the UK is at inventing new styles of music .Spread over two cds this is a great way to kill a few hours getting lost in fast beats and bottomless bass lines ,great for motorway driving !!!...

Advantages: Good tracks, bonus material
Disadvantages: A few too many mixes

...Have already rated the previous album (put your hands up vol.1) and many of my points apply to this album aswell. After continually listening to the first album i decided to buy this one aswell and again i was not disappointed. There is again a brilliant mix of tracks over 3 CD's including several remixes and club mixes such as that of Camille Jonesvs Fedded le Grande-The Creeps (club mix). This i believe to be one of the best but there are 62 other tunes that you will just want to get up and dance to. Again, as like the previous album there is bonus content on CD1 including 3 awesomw music videos including Fedde Le Grande-Put your hands up and Alex Gaudino-Destination Calabria. This is a really nice touch to the album and makes it a real gem.... Read review

Advantages: easy to listen to
Disadvantages: a few bland songs sneaked in

...the first volume was great so i got the second one too.it has loads of tracks, with a mix of pop rock and poppy/country style.names include jessica simpson, A1 and a lot fo american artist who are very good, but not really known in England.This shouldnt put you off however, it is easy to listen to time and time again.it is not as good as the first, but it is still great, even if you are not an avid watcher of the tv show.The songs that are faster are really good too....
