Third

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Portishead

Release Date April 28, 2008
I'll start this review with a) a confession and b) a confession.

a) I have never heard Portishead's self-titled second album. I'll rectify this sometime soon.

b) I'm somewhat wary about writing my first online music review and giving the subject the maximum score available. But, my god, this record deserves it.

This is something that I've been contemplating for a while now. What makes an album great? Does every track have to be excellent? Or does it simply have to take you on a great journey? Or must it do both?

The signs point to the third answer. And the third answer is fitting of Third.

I can only imagine how long the 11 years since their last studio album have seemed to the ... Read More:

Hard Candy

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Madonna

Release Date April 28, 2008
I have attempted to like this album. I have listened to it countless times. But it has to be the worst cd i have ever bought. I am an obsessive madonna fan, and have even managed to find small pleasures in her poorest album 'I'm Breathless.' I have loved Madonna since about the age of 13 and even been at the front row of her Confessions Tour, but this album is DIRE!!

Not one track stands as even being good. At best 4 minutes is average. Whilst Candy Store is throughly disgusting, to quote, 'I've got turkish delight baby and so much more... sticky and sweet,' enough of the inneundo Madonna, we've heard it all before with erotica, and quite frankly I am almost vomitting at the connotations of these lyrics...

'Give it to me,' ... Read More:

Seventh Tree

by: Goldfrapp

Release Date February 25, 2008
Am currently playing this to death! Love, love, love it, maybe even as much as Supernature. Our favourite song is Clowns and my husband keeps playing it over and over again!! It's a great album to chill out in the sunshine to. It lifts the spirit and makes you feel all floaty like :-)

Cream 15 Years

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 28, 2008
How typical! Another 3CD boxset full of songs that have been repeated played on Radio 1 for the last few years; most of which are, obviously, from 1999, where labels feel the need to suck out all the life of one of the craziest years for clubbing.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect about this is that it is in no way relevant to the club night. 'Cream', as was a night held at Nation in Liverpool in the 90's (Only about once a month now, if that) sounded nothing like the contents of this album. Why oh why label a product '15 Years' when the contents clearly doesn't reflect the history of an influential club?? So big was it's demand that people attended Liverpool John Moores Uni just so they could be near it!

It's just another pathetic attempt at making money, and ... Read More:

Portishead

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Portishead

Release Date June 18, 1999
Totally amazing, one of the greatest albums ever made. Dark, brooding, with awesome scratching, beautiful and unsettling singing and, in my opinion, superior to Dummy. Love driving at night or smoking at home to this absolute classic. You'd be a fool not to hear it.

In Silico

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Pendulum

Release Date May 12, 2008
To start off, what the hell is everyone talking about, this is way better then "Hold you colour". The only reason people are knocking this album is becuase it doesnt have a "Slam" pt 2. In my opinion i think Pendulum have perfected the sound they were trying to achieve in "hold your colour". Secoundly this is drum and bass, just because it has guitars in it doesnt mean it breaks out of the DnB genre. It is however DnB with a bit of difference, just because it doesnt comply to DnB for dummies, doesnt mean its not DnB. Thank you

Dave Pearce Trance Anthems 2008

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 07, 2008
Given that so many loyal Ministry of Sound fans have been fleeing the label for so long it is alarming that we are greeted (yet again) by sunday night funster dave pearce flogging a dead horse. Never has such an inappropriate title graced an album cover. 2008?? Dave was playing all the tracks off this album on his Radio 1 show 5 years ago! There will be nothing on this compilation that someone who's even half a trance fan won't already own. Congratulations to MoS for reaching a new low.

Clubland Classix

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 31, 2008
Ahh another annual release from the Clubland gang! Yet this time they've ditched the familiar set of, what they consider to be, "Club"land (ish) tracks. Instead, they've gone for an angle we're all just craving for... those cheesey songs from 2002. Oh dear indeed... wasn't that 'Clubland 1' was for? (Released Summer 2002...)

The Logical Song, Shake Ya Shimmy, Set You Free, The Whistle Song, In My Eyes, Tell it to my Heart, Forever... plus many, many, many more, all from the same album, and many others from another album! What's the point in re-releasing a CD claiming it to be 'classics', when clearly at the time a DJ would have been egged if he even dared played a supposed club track as The Whistle Song.

I just know what real club music is, and if you have any sense, you'll either ... Read More:
