Ultimate White Christmas, The - Various Artists

Advantages: Great lyrics | Very funny | Very original
Disadvantages: Some weak tracks | Will offend | Hard to find

...‘strings up the lights and lights up the tree’ for Christmas. Next to Merry F**king Chrismtas this is the other main controversial one on the album. It has plenty of allusions to dead people living it up in hell including Michael Landon, John. F. Kennedy and also Princess Diana and since this was released in 1999 it was a bit shocking to hear her name mentioned. All in all this is one of my very firm favourites on the album, the lyrics are darkly funny and its catchy as hell. 11. What The Hell Child Is This? | Chef (4.28) ‘It’s white so it cannot be mine’ Issac Hayes got the New Year number one with Chocolate Salty Balls after beating the Spice Girls in the second week. This time his song is more low key but just as good. Hayes once again sings about his womanising accompanied by a deep beat and nice backing vocals. 12. Santa... Read review

Advantages: Jam packed, well presented, great inclusions.
Disadvantages: 1 or 2 naff tracks but you can't please everyone!

...Now I was quite surprised to get this in my stocking for Christmas, obviously somneone had been doing their homework. I've got pretty eclectic tastes, ranging from indie, 80's, and rock, to dance and trance, so it was quite a nice surprise as I'd had my eye on this for a while. Released in mid-October 2005, the Ultimate Experience boasts a jam-packed tracklist of some stonking tunes, as well as some which are yet to reach the UK Charts. Featuring some key names in current dance music, their are some really cool inclusions on both discs. I tend to find that on releases such as this, the 2nd CD is usually packed full of obscure trance remixes from the likes that no-one has ever heard of, but this has been tastefully presented. Disc 1: Shapeshifters - Back to Basics. Possibly one of the biggest dance hits of 2005, Back... Read review
