Back To The Future

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Soundtrack

Release Date March 20, 1999
This cd really evokes the magic of Back to the Future- it's almost as good as watching the film itself! The only notable tune that's missing is Mr Sandman. I would also prefer if the tracks were in the same order as the film. However, these are small criticisms of a great product. Enjoy!

Dance Collection

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Donna Summer

Release Date October 09, 1990
from the opening bars of "i feel love" you know how good this cd will be! after 8 minutes of this you go into "with your love" an unknown track but its wonderful..only available on this cd! as dance hypnotic as the predecessor! then you have"last dance" a summer classic in its 12" glory!!! amazing!!! jumping straight into the macauthur park suite.."yes we know someone left a cake out" but the 18 minute frenzy that encapsulates "one of a kind" and "heaven knows"..its a bit too much!

then into the 12" versions of "hot stuff" and "walk away"!!! if exstatic hasnt set in by now...you get "dim all the lights"...and to finish you off the full lenght versions of "tears are not enough" is a show stopper!

if you only buy 1 donna ... Read More:

Planxty

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Planxty

Release Date April 01, 1994
Marries folk and trad, instrumentals and songs, originals and timeless classics.If you're interested in folk, or Irish music, or acoustic music you can't not have this album !
Planxty had 2 outstanding singers in Christy Moore (still enormously popular in his own right) and the hugely influential Andy Irvine (exceptional composer, and collector of folk songs from all over the world). The group featured the superb Liam O'Flynn on uileann pipes. Not only has O'Flynn influenced every Irish piper since, but also his prowess and beautiful tone have promoted the instrument to such an extent that many Scots and Galician pipers have added it along to their own native pipes. As if the above wasn't enough Donal Lunny and Irvine provided some of the best interwoven ... Read More:

Flood

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: They Might Be Giants

Release Date March 26, 1990
I remember hearing this album being played alot when i was very little. it stuck with me because i do remember randomly spouting out

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS! BOOOY!

at random intervals throughout the years. its only been recently that i rekindled my love of this nutty band. (im 18 now) i have to say they are possibly my favourite band. i have pretty much all their albums on my computer now, but whenever my media player happens to randomly hop onto a song from flood, it just makes me smile. it does have some of the greatest songs on i think. though theirs loads of TMBG songs from all albums i love. but i think flood is just special to me.

If youre after an alternative/rock/pop type album, with a little more to it. go for this. it ... Read More:

Mechanical Resonance

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Tesla

Release Date March 20, 1999
Can't really put this into words. Second only (and by a hair's breadth) to Appetite For Destruction.

Stunning musicianship, incredible songs, fantastic twin guitars, tight-as-flip rhythm section. Tesla were once called thinking man's metal & also compared to Van Halen. What an insult!!

Tesla were unique. I remember seeing them support Def Leppard at Leicester in 1987 and they blew the Leps (one of my fave bands) off stage.

You can't pigeon hole Tesla. At their best (i.e. on this album) they were sensational. High octane rock music at it's sensational best. Unlike many others, this has stood the test of time & still sounds fresh as a daisy, even now. An incredible debut.

It's stunning, please buy it!!

The Best of Vaya Con Dios

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Vaya Con Dios

Release Date January 17, 2000
Sung with a deep and melodramatic voice, these tracks have an unmistakable feel of cabaret about them - but in a cool, Edith Piaf/Jacques Brel sort of way. Doleful accordions weep in the background as Dani Klein's alto tells tales of bad men and desperate love, and you can imagine nighthawks slouching over their absinthe in, as one track specifies, "a sleazy part of town". Very Edward Hopper.

They pull it off, though. All this seedy, sexy, tango-ish over-the-top melancholia actually works. Just about every song on this CD is instantly recognisable. The sound is latino-inspired, but filtered through the chanson-tradition of the group's native Belgium. This best-of album spans two decades, from their first hit, jazzy "I Don't Want To Know" (mid-eighties) to big belter ... Read More:

Singing the Fishing

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Ewan MacColl

Release Date May 26, 2008
This is probably radio documentary at its very best. It is a balance of sound and singing, voice and rythme. We hear of life at its very hardest and how the sea draws the fisherman again and again from the nineteenth century to the twentieth century. We hear of the drifter, the steam boat and the diesel: of the girls from Scotland who gutted the herring. Above all we hear songs that have passed into folklore and are given title and author for the first time. It is the most compulsive record you can listen to, and of God - if you listen "....he shot Him." Buy it and listen.

Matters of the Heart

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Tracy Chapman

Release Date April 27, 1992
Tracy Chapman never lets you down. I personally think she is one of the greatest song writers ever. This album is as beautiful as all of her others, if you love Tracy you won't be disappointed.
