Urban Junglist - Aphrodite

Aphrodite

Advantages: Consistant, well-put-together, lively (and some good remixes)
Disadvantages: Some tracks sound very similar

Aphrodite is well known in the Drum 'n' Bass fraternity and has released tracks since the early days. He famously paired up with Micky Finn and created 'Bad Ass' a track well known by many. In 1999 he released the album of this review - 'Aphrodite' - containing some of his best know tracks such as 'King Of The Beats', 'Music's Hypnotising' and 'B.M. Funkster'. It had been a while since some of these tracks had first surfaced, and I wondered how they would compare against more contemporary styles of D 'n' B. Also many albums like this can sound inconsistent in places and lacking continuity, where as others are so similar it is hard to differentiate between tracks. Anyway.... There are three sections of mixed tracks, each preceded by an interlude so the album keeps its continuity. Though the album is continuously mixed, this has ...

Urban Decay Eyeshadows

Advantages: The most fantastic range of colours something for everyone
Disadvantages: Does have a tendency to crease and wear off easily

When I go out I like my eyes to get all the attention, being my best feature they look their best when played up with a really brightly coloured eyeshadow. I usually go for cheaper make up to be honest but have been hankering after some of the Urban Decay Eyeshadow for quite a while after I was admiring a friends eyeshadow and she told me it was Urban Decay and also after I spotted what gorgeous colours they do in their range. At approximately £10.50 for a 1.5g tablet though I had felt they were quite expensive and couldn't really justify spending that amount of cash on them. However at Christmas I got a large amount of Boots vouchers as a present and decided I would splash out on a couple of these eyeshadows - I opted for Kiddie Pool an Ocean Blue colour with iridescent glitter and YDK a mocha colour with gold glitter. It took me ...
