Tir Na Nog (Symphonie Celtique) - Alan Stivell

Public symphony

Advantages: all tracks
Disadvantages: none

Having recently reviewed this band's first single, and raved about it, I had high hopes for the album. The eponymous debut lives up to expectation. 'Public Symphony' is a superb blend of stirring choruses, electronica, chill-out and prog. Imagine Coldplay, Pink Floyd and Massive Attack at a party gatecrashed by Ian Brown, and you'll be getting the plot. This album could, with the right promotion, be an absolute monster. Already the band have picked up awards Stateside for best unsigned band and album. And they're already spreading the word via that great viral marketing tool, the Internet. The band is essentially duo Dobs Vye (who looks like a more hairy Chris Martin) and James Reynolds who wrote and produced the album. Each track is superbly crafted and the album beautifully sequenced. It starts kicking in with 'Children ...

Review of Public Symphony - Public Symphony

Alan Who?

Advantages: It's different to most music!
Disadvantages: Not everyones cup of tea.

Alan Jackson is a folk and country singer from Georgia. His music is mainly diddley-dee and all weird guitars and country genres. This isn't really the sort of music that i would like but because my dad bought it i sort of got hooked. This sort of music is also associated with NASCAR in America. ~~Gone Country~~ This song is fairly upbeat, and its about Alan's girlfriend and about the story of how she 'went country' and went back to her roots.

Alan explains his experiences when his ''daddy'' let him drive. He describes the car in the song and what he can see when hes driving. ''It was ...

Review of Very Best Of Alan Jackson, The - Alan Jackson

Poor Show Peter Alan!

Advantages: Local to most people, NAEA Members
Disadvantages: Work for the buyer, not the seller

This is from a perspective of a seller. 6 years ago, I bought my first house with Peter Alan, being 18 and not being very worldly, I thought their service was alright, lack of communication was my only real gripe with them. After I moved in, I watched as over the years, Peter Alan boards were going up and having sold slips on them relatively quickly, so when the time came to sell, Peter Alan was an obvious choice, my husband is also an estate agent but markets in a different part of town and he agreed Peter Alan would be the logical choice to sell the house, with their 'local expertise' & they are members of the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), which not all estate agents are members of. I looked up my local branch, phoned and explained I had bought my house through them & now I would like to sell through them ...
