Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound Retrospective Phillies Sound 1961-1996

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 27, 2008
I agree with P K Brindle, this CD really should have had "To know him is to love him", but it has redeemed itself by having "He's a Rebel". All the songs are great on this and I would definitely recommend it. Fantastic to sing along to!

Hed Kandi - The Mix 2008

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 19, 2007
I agree with the reviewer below in that some of HK's recent releases have been slightly dodgy and appear to be cashing in on the rise in popularity of funky house music. Die hard fans have been complaining for months about the acquisition of the brand from ailing and tyrannical parent MoS, but it seems that the producers of this album have been given a more free reign to take HK back to its roots.
I'm glad CD1 wasn't reprasentative of the whole album, with lots of fairly commercial "heard it all before" tracks, only saved by decent mixing, however CD2 and 3 are subliminal. Never have Hed Kandi been this funky, the only comparison I can think of is HK: The Mix 50, another brilliant compilation. Tracks from Dervish, Bel Amour, Doc Da Funk, ... Read More:

Trojan Ska Box Set

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 04, 1996
3 CDs of absolute classic ska. With the sheer volume of tracks this set provides, its a bargain. This is the real deal.A good cross section of Jamaican ska, with some tracks better known than others (perhaps) but don't let that put you off. If you have only heard the tracks that have also appeared on other ska compilations & you liked them, then the rest of this collection is a must.
This is a really expansive collection of quality ska music & Trojan have done a great job in selecting the tracks for this set.If you enjoy this , then the Rude Boy box set is also worth a punt.

The Northern Soul Story Vol.3: Blackpool Mecca

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 30, 2007
This is a really bad news compilation; I received it 24 hours ago and my legs haven't stopped moving yet. If this is truly what you got at Blackpool Mecca I doubt if I could have survived - even with a sackful of leapers - but I would have died a happy man.
25 fantastic tracks, unfortunately Van McCoy's stupendous 'Soul Improvisations part 2' seems to be stuck on permanent repeat (don't know how that could have happened) so the others are getting little playing great as they are.

100 Classical Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 13, 2003

This is a great low cost box set which does exactly what it says on the box - it gives you 100 classical music hits, covering all the styles such as baroque, classical, romantic and modern, and includes music from all the popular composers.

Some of the tracks are simply excerpts from the full piece, for example Beethoven's Ninth symphony, originally over 60 minutes long, is reduced to a two and a half minute rousing chorus of the popular `Ode to Joy'. Likewise, Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture is cut from 15 minutes down to the last few minutes of the exciting thunder and fireworks finale.

This editing enables a great range of `hits' to be squeezed onto five discs, and gives the classical music novice a chance to dip their ... Read More:
