Weapons Of Mass Creation Vol.3 - Various Artists

Advantages: High consistency of both soulful and heavy tracks
Disadvantages: Pretty similar with "Plastic Surgeries", etc.

...OK, this is Hospital again. Never ever has this label released a low quality CD compilation of tracks by various artists. If they select the finest, they always do the solid job. This one is no exception. First CD is a selection of tracks by both label's resident and outsiders, with the soulfulness of tunes being a criteria. Also some new people are included with tracks proving that they can become huge in some time. Laroque's "Goldfinger" and SKC's "Heart of Love" in the beginning are a good examples of that. Danny Byrd's famous "Planet Music" and Suncopix's "Happy Happy Joy Joy" continue on the vibe. Some tunes of scene's regulars follow, with tracks like "without You" by John B, "Fast Soul Music" by London Electricity, "Replay" by Logistics and "Quiet Star" by Syantific. Second CD is a mix by London Electricity and it does it... Read review

Advantages: Consistency of sound, not mixed, great value
Disadvantages: Formulaic after a while, lacks credibility

...released, neither is included here probably due to the fact that Data Records is still trying to promote the original artist’s album. If you are looking for a compilation of all the chart hits then you might be better off looking for one of the Now Dance series instead. The appeal of Clubland 3 for me is discovering new tunes or re-discovering records that you’ve previously heard in the clubs. As it would be impractical (and very time-consuming) to review all 41 tracks, I’ll once again try and stick to giving a run down of my favourite tracks. With volume three, it’s harder than ever because there are so many songs here that I really like, but I’ll do my best. PLUMMET – DAMAGED The standout song of the album, the year and probably the decade – I love this song more than words can say. Damaged... Read review

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. The single to come off this album was received quite well, not a bad video and the brother sister duet that everyone wanted to hear. An up to date version but not better than the original. You may find me saying that more often than not Sussudio - Ol Dirty Bastard. Shocking. No resemblence... Read review
