Twilight

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 24, 2008
I love this soundtrack, even though I am yet to see the film (bring on 19th December!). Its a great mix of music, and gives you a good feeling about the film. Rob Pattinson's singing voice is a bit of a surprise, but his song is definitely a gorgeous one. Only downside of this soundtrack is the fact that there's only one Muse song on it grrr... Everyone who's read the book knows Stephenie Meyer adores Muse and they provided her soundtrack for writing the saga. Oh well, maybe on the next film :o)

Best of Bond...James Bond

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 27, 2008
Yep. Track 21 (The World is Not Enough) is performed by someone called Garbage and talk about living up to one's name... How did someone who has no voice wind up singing a Bond song? *shakes head in disbelief* Actually, after kd lang's sublime performance of Surrender, the rest of the CD is not worth listening to. Before that, however, it's a lovely trip down memory lane listening to good sings sung by singers who can, well, sing.....

Hed Kandi - The Mix 2009

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 17, 2008
... a return to form for Hed Kandi... I don't know who is responsible for the A&R and mixing of this product but the quality has definitely been ramped up over recent Kandi releases. As another reviewer mentioned, this album doesn't take itself too seriously, and I think that's where HK have lost the plot recently. This is a fun, bright outlook on the world of current funky house which reminds me slightly of the Mark Doyle era, but evolved into perhaps something better.
If you've been disappointed with recent releases or are completely new to the Hed Kandi/funky house scene, then this is definitely worth your attention!

Christmas Crooners: 50 Yuletide Classics from a Golden Age

Like the previous reviewer, I'd advise people to stay well clear of this particular recording.

The sound quality is abysmal. Avoid.

Wicked (Idina Menzel)

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 28, 2006
I have to agree with the writer of the 1-star review that the actress who plays Elphaba on Broadway (and is featured on the cd) definitely has a disappointing voice compared to the West End actress. However, I do think that the actors playing Glinda and the Wizard, in contrast, have a better voice on Broadway, compensating a little for Elpahaba. I really do hope that a West End version of this cd will become available at some point.

CHRISTMAS HITS

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 01, 2008
Just when I thought a nostalgic Christmas was over I came across this super 2 CD set from NotNow. The set boasts 50 songs and a whole host of well known stars too. It is good to have a mix of both American and British stars represented and there are even duets.
This is a welcome addition to the Christmas titles offering something just a little different and with Eartha Kitt, David Whitfield, Dickie Valentine, Bing, Dick, Frank, Perry, Nat, Ella, Peggy and Judy to serenade you whilst you cook that traditional roast turkey what more could you ask for?
Favourite songs for me are "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"; "Silver Bells"; "Santa Claus got Stuck in My Chimney" and the traditional carols.
Good sound throughout and attractive ... Read More:

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 28, 2000
I'm not from the US, my family hail from Kashmir and I was born in the UK, grew up listening to punk rock but WOW! The soundtrack literally drips with the era and place it hails from; every time I hear a snippet I swear I can feel the heat and smell the wheat - so amazing!

R&B Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Compilation
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 24, 2008
This is quite a good selection of RnB hits from past and present.
It certainly fills some gaps in my CD collection. My personal favourites are the tracks by Joe, Akon, Christina Milian, Blackstreet, Boyz II Men, Outkast, Nelly and Usher. Wow! That's eight tracks! Admittedly some tracks have been played to death but there's is no denying that UMTV have put together another top quality compilation with most of the biggest names in modern RnB. This is bound to be a best seller!!
