A new Gilles Peterson compilation is always a source of excitement for jazz, world and ... more
soul aficionados the world over. ThisWorldwide Exclusivesset is doubly thrilling as it translates into 14 tracks from some of the world's hottest acts, unavailable anywhere else. Starting the set are long-time Peterson faves Cinematic Orchestra, with the slow and sassy "Wheel Within a Wheel". It's not their most rhapsodic work, but it's a gem and perhaps heralds a new direction for the crew. Umod (the alter-ego of Domu) appears with a quirky, Mr Scruff-esque tune called "Puffin Dance"; NSM posits more of his sparse phuture-soul on "The Show"; and Nicola Conte plies some sophisticated jazz moods on "Waning Moon". Add the incredibly authentic Cuban trip of Seiji's Pata Cumbele and the syncopated beats 'n' bass offerings of Jazzanova and Herbert and you have yet another impeccable Gilles collection. --Paul Sullivan

Advantages: A few scarface film samples Disadvantages: Nearly the whole thing
Many people have been influenced by the scarface film and the rap genre has especially referenced to it man songs. This is now an official compilation of songs with money, power and respect themes. as you would imagine, all are rap.
Put together in 2003, this def jam idea includes songs by Nas, Mobb Deep and Notorious BIG, some made especially for the album some old tracks that just fit. None appear in the film but there are samples and dialouge used from the picture.
Tracks
Its Mine - Mobb Deep & Nas. Scarface cues used as the sample in this one which was originally put t ogether in 99. A good relevant track to start the album
Yeo - Cam'ron. Samples Rush Rush which is used in the film, rush rush get the yayo may be more familiar. best bit about the song is actually the sample with cam'rons raps not adding much but loads ...
This is one of the first compilation CD's I ever bought. At the time I thought it was fantastic, but over the years I've seemed to have grown a little sick of some of the songs.
If anyone remembers the days of Shaggy and Oh Carolina, well, you'll like this compilation as it's full of old songs like that, (and that song sure does bring abck quite a few memories!)
Artists include:
Reel 2 Reel, Haddaway, M People, Aswad, Sister Sledge, Shaggy, Robin S, 2 Unlimited, Capella, Prodigy, The Shamen, Snap, Seal, S'Express and Black Box....
As you can tell by some of the above names, most of them are the oldies!
Brilliant to keep for 'old time sakes'. ...
Advantages: Some astoundingly moving tracks, unbeatable for its chill value Disadvantages: A little inaccessible at times
Ahh yes, the lovely old compilation CD …. It seems that they’re released one after another – filling our music shop’s shelves with different colours, genres and names every week. Not a night goes by when I don’t see “New mega hits – the best ever volume 5” advertised on prime time TV; and I often wonder how much money the music industry is making from people who will go out week after week, to buy albums whose contents resemble a Manchester City defence – poorly put together and consistently bad …
It appears to me though, that there are different styles of compilation CD. These fall into 2 distinct types: the dance mix CD, and the stand alone track CD. Now I can quite happily sit down and listen to a whole disc of the mix CD nature from start to finish– because let ...
On the limmited edition it has all the music videos on it as well! An excellent touch I think!
The cover is the only downside that I have found, it looks nice now but after time it's going to be a bit scruffy as it's made like a hard back book with no plastic covering. (*)
