Ballroom Dancing - The Essential Collection

CD-Charts > Music > General AAS
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 19, 2007
One of television's beneficial side-effects is to generate audience participation outside the box, not least in the field of ballroom dancing. On the heels of this resurgence has come the demand for suitable music, and the latest CD label to take the floor is Avid, with this quite splendid panorama of terpsichorean temptation. It covers almost every ballroom form, and a wide range of compositions and styles, but all focussed on the primary requirement for a strict tempo.

Although aimed specifically at aspiring hoofers and their teachers, this compilation should have a wider appeal. The ballroom orchestras aimed for purity of tone, and this is particularly noticeable on the tracks by Maxwell Stewart's Ballroom Orchestra, where the ... Read More:

Reason to Believe

CD-Charts > Music > General AAS
by: Aled Jones

Release Date October 08, 2007
I was rather disappointed, there wasn't the clarity in his vioice, and I thought including Cerys Matthews a BIG mistake, she's terrible! One good thing with Aled is being able to hear every word, and as usual there is sincerity. I couldn't shake the feeling that his voice seemed to be showing signs of strain, was this caused by his apparently singing in a lower key?

He has such a strong personality, I hate having to be critical. I certainly don't endorse Susie's review, especially as I've listened to this CD several times now.

The Best of Perry Como

CD-Charts > Music > General AAS
by: Perry Como

Release Date April 07, 2003
This is a much better 'Best of' compilation of Perry Como recordings than some!

A 'Best of' compilation certainly gives you more freedom of song selection, but whether that luxury has been used to it's full potential is another matter!

This collection includes a nice selection of the popular Juke-box classics such as 'Magic moments' and 'Catch a falling star'. The collection also includes such classics as 'It's impossible' and 'And I love you so' - which certainly proved that Perry could still do well in the charts in the Rock and Pop 1970's!

Most pleasing on this collection is the presence of 'Beats there a heart so true' which is ... Read More:

Stranger On The Shore - The Best Of

CD-Charts > Music > General AAS
by: Acker Bilk

Release Date February 26, 2008
What a class act this man is! a fantastic kalaidascopic cornacopia of a rollercoaster into the smoky realms of Jazztopia! with a cherry on top! I recommend this cd to everyone who has yet to worship at altar of Acker in the church of Bilk!. What people also don't realise is that Acker is also a greco roman wrestling champion at several different weights but gave up to concentrate solely on music, for that we should be gratefull my friends! also a special mention to Chris Barton who plays baritone on several of these tracks and is a very underated musician in his own right. If you like Acker I recommend you try Chris Barton's album " When Sally met Chris, the Stable sessions ". A modern jazz classic!

Spaced Out - The Very Best of William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy

CD-Charts > Music > General AAS
by: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy

Release Date September 27, 2004
Thrill to the sound of Leonard Nimoy croaking `Bilbo Baggins', William Shatner murdering `Lucy in the sky with Diamonds'. An hour of serious humour, intentional and unintentional and excellent music production values shattered by the scenery wobbling just like `Star Trek'. Buy this hits compilation with impunity it is actually so kitsch that it's great.

Engelbert Humperdink - The Greatest Hits And More

CD-Charts > Music > General AAS
by: Engelbert Humperdinck

Release Date April 02, 2007
Nice picture of a bloke who has reached 3 score and 10. Every song brings so many memories back over 40 years. This man's voice is better than fine wine, rich, smooth like velvert. Beautiful - how can his voice possibly get better year on year? Just listen to each song, listen to the high notes, how can he hold them for so long. Wonderful 2 CD set. I look forward to seeing him on his UK Tour in October/November 2007. Just wonderful.

The Very Best of Julie London

CD-Charts > Music > General AAS
by: Julie London

Release Date May 30, 2005
Gosh, this took me back to my youth, the age of great and good expectations - the late 1950's and early 60's with their unmistakeable sound and sexy undercurrents.

Excellent recordings, great sound and that velvety sultry voice... Do they still make them like this? Don't know; but this double CD deserves to be in everyone's music library and to be listened to.
