Easy Listening

Advantages: It's excellent
Disadvantages: Are there any?

...albums to stand out. Magnetic Fields Part 1- There are several different sections to part one and i do like them all. I like the 1st bit because it's upbeat but sufficiently trancy enough for modern clubbers to still enjoy & want to buy as a chill out but it's still something you could dance to. That's basically the opening 6 minutes. You then get a quietish section which eventually becomes a track I am convinced sounds a whole lot like Fishing ...
...as its quite uplifting. Magnetic Fields Part 2 - It's known and loved It's been used on the telly & for adverts, its been copied by every synth band known to man I think it was also used on the C64 version of Bombjack as background music. Magnetic Fields Part 3 - the track that reminds me of Orient Express (again from Concerts In China) because of the train sounds on the intro, This is a very "plinky plonky " track. Not a favourite of mine though. ... Read review

Advantages: Smooth Dulsit tones
Disadvantages: a couple of duff tracks that are skipable

Its a good album. a couple of songs that arent what ive come to expect of his normal class judging by previous albums i have of his. Still very smooth and classy though and some really good catchy songs that you swing along to. I particularly 'recommend ive got the world on a string' and also his version of 'thats life' 'Me and Mrs Jones' features apparently Emily Blunt (his latest squeeze) doing backing vocals. Shes not bad, but theres not really ...
...would say if your just getting introduced to Mr Buble, try one of the other albums first, Id recommend 'its time' id say thats his best. Ive also seen him live and hes very entertaining, definately gives you your moneys worth live! Dont judge him by this album, though its good in its own way. ... Read review

Advantages: Relaxing
Disadvantages: None

...admit that I've liked Gregorian chant music ever since Ben in Butterflies (70's television programme) used to listen to it (yes, I really am that old!). It's great that Chant Music For Paradise has been released and has done so well in the charts. The cover is a clear indication of how peaceful it is. Just lay down or play it in the background and feel the chill sweep over you. Another bonus is that it's not something that you can sing along to, ... Read review

Advantages: The album is great
Disadvantages: None at all

The Pure Moods album is one of the best compilations of New Age music I have listened to. It contains popular music from throughout the years from artistes such as Enya, Enigma, David Byrne, DJ Dado and so on. It is what got me looking for more music from Enigma and I found out they did a song with Nine Inch Nails. The music will relax you, body and mind and leave you in a sense of peace and Euphoria, and for those who meditate, it can be a great ...

Advantages: Good background listening
Disadvantages: Odd mixture of music on the Uplifting disc

...I do often have Classic FM on the radio at home and recently bought their 2 CD set, Voices 2008. This is a compilation containing a selection of vocal pieces from the worlds of choral music and opera. There are pieces in this collection which you would immediately recognise on hearing them, even if their names are not familiar. In the set is a CD of relaxing pieces and a CD of uplifting pieces, so you have the choice of which best suits your mood. ...
...John Brunning is one of Classic FM's own presenters. He composed this short piece, which is sung on the CD by All Angels. I would describe it as a sweet piece, but it doesn't really stick in my mind after I've heard it. It's pleasant enough to hear in the background though. 4 Canteloube - 'Bailero'. Canteloube took his inspiration from the traditional folk songs of the Auvergne region of France where he was born. He arranged these songs for orchestra ... Read review
