Andy C Presents Nightlife 4

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 05, 2008
The DJ's dilemma goes like this: how do you make a seamless mix on the one hand, but at the same time give the listener a distinctive selection, making every tune count? Nightlife 1 was one of the rare cases that somebody hit it on the nail, and installments 2 and 3 were flawed by comparison. I groan inwardly at the discordand clash of When the Sun Goes Down/ Now's the Time on N2, and skip over derivative stuff like Princess Warrior and Babylon Rising on N3. I'm also not a huge fan of the 'max-out the bassline, throw in a vocal' school e.g. Concorde Dawn. I admit the likes of 'Fly Away' destroy the dancefloor, but mix CDs are more about the little bits and pieces lovingly put together like grown-up lego.

So, how does Nightlife 4 ... Read More:

The Greatest Songs From The Musicals

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date September 02, 2002
Most of the classical songs are great sung very well by talented singers, but don't expect the original artists from the stage shows as they're not on there. Some of the more modern songs weren't so great and We Will Rock You was played like a fanfare for HRH the Queen, that was a real let down, no hand clapping or headbanging, there are more electric guitars in Phantom!!!

If like orchestras this is for you, if you want songs from original cast members don't bother.

Early Morning Hush - Notes from the UK Folk Underground 1969-1976

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 26, 2008
As others have pointed out, the track list above is just wrong - use the back sleeve photo instead. Much more of a straight folk compilation than 'Gather in the Mushrooms', this one lacks the left field oddities of that album. Nice enough, though - quality folk, well selected and sequenced. A nice mood, but rather more predictable than 'Mushrooms'. Keith Christmas track particularly impressive. Thoroughy recommended if you enjoyed GITM - otherwise, buy that 1st. On second thoughts, buy both while theyre only £4 each, a steal.

100 Favourite Nursery Rhymes and Songs

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 08, 2002
This sounded like a great buy initially. My baby boy loves songs but although there are 100 of them, you can't select which one you want to listen to. It only comes in two sections and to hear a popular song, you have to plough through an irritating selection of spoken rhymes. I've given up trying to listen to it now.

This Record Is Not To Be Broadcast - 75 Records Banned By the BBC 1931 - 57

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 25, 2008
The whole idea of banning the playing of records is not only silly but is nowadays pretty much a thing of the past.Or takes on a different meaning when it seems the BBC have actually banned the playing of Cliff Richard records! I don't pretend to understand that one.
What it led to mainly was certain records were hits on the strength of a ban.
Who then were these dictators of public taste who had the power to censor what people should listen to
Seems they were people who applied no logic to what the rules stated-that anything hinting at religion,sex,drugs or advertising should be veloed.
Which covers at least 95% of all songs.
But looking at the titles here sounds like a joke-the Beverly Sisters' Greensleeves?

40 Favourite Nursery Rhymes

by: Various Artists

Release Date July 14, 1997
This is the 4th Cd I've bought for baby - and about time I got one this appropriate. Fantastically normal - not folky, operatic or weirdly modern - sung by normal voices with a bit of character for each song. Listened to it loads already and still not annoyed in the slightest.

Evita - Original London Cast Recording

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Original London Cast Various Artists, Elaine Paige, David Essex

Release Date March 20, 1999
Over the years Andrew Lloyd Webber has made many musicals, some more successful and appealing to the public than the others. Most people will, however, agree that "Evita" remains one of his most satisfying works to this date. Numerous reasons confirm this statement. Just like in its predecessor "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Evita" is almost entirely sung-through; the lyrics are witty and appropriate; the subject matter is again a personality larger-than-life who rises from obscurity and dies at the peak of its fame, thus becoming a legend; the score is captivating and appealing to the listener, at home or in the theatre.

Following the suit of the Superstar, ALW and Tim Rice first published Evita as an album, which appeared in 1976. It was an ... Read More:
