Sunshine Collection, The (18 Songs For A Sunny Day) - 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.

Advantages: Good rhythms to do the housework to, some excellent songs
Disadvantages: Some songs will appeal to some and not to others.

Time to run up and down the stairs whilst polishing the banister singing in your best Irish accent "Life is a rollercoaster just got to ride it, all night long." Well it won't take all night to get the housework done with this CD. Bangles - Manic Monday - We all have a manic Monday now again so listen to this one, the chore for this song is making the bed whilst you sing "These are the days when you wish your bed was already made".

Disadvantages: None

...and The Imperials 18, Oh Happy day - Edwin Hawkins Many will have already noticed from the track list that they have never heard of half of the songs or in fact any of the groups which do seems to have some like far out names man, this has probably a lot to do with a certain substance which was very much favoured in the sixties, when Love peace and a little of the other seemed to be all a lot of people required. This album brings back a lot of memories for me and the tracks well most of them were all chart toppers in their day. To many of you a lot of the tracks may sound a little dated and perhaps even a bit simplistic but remember there weren't the technological innovations we have today, a few guitars and a drum was pretty much your lot unless you were already a success and could afford some orchestral accompaniment. For all of its simplicity... Read review
