What can I say? It's a brilliant album in every way. Sounds just as good today as it did when it was first released.
Love it!

And This Is A SKA Explosion

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

Release Date March 19, 2007
I couldn't give this five stars, because there are a few dud tracks on there. But at the price it is well worth the money, because there are loads of great tunes. In fact it is worth the cash just to get a copy of 'Rukumbine'. There is a groovy ska version of the James Bond theme, and a couple of minor key instrumental grooves that really get you dancing. Also 'A little oil in my lamp' is a great singalong ska version of a traditional song, with a gospel feel to it.

I don't know why they chose to start the CD with the Prince Buster tune which is more of a reggae style and not like the rest at all (although it's not a bad tune).

The Best Of UB40, Volumes 1 & 2 [2CD]

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: UB40

Release Date November 14, 2005
this was a big favourite of mine, growing up in the 80's and early 90's. this album is by far the best reggae collection of ub40's. i also bought the ub40 dvd which has a few others which do not feature on the collection. if you want relaxing, soul trippin music this summer, then i suggest this album. totally superb.

this is a must for anyone who not only likes ub40 but enjoyed the 80's and its music.

The Essential

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Michael Jackson

Release Date July 18, 2005
Michael Jackson is THE ultimate performer. Regardless of how you see him as a person, he is an electrical force to be reckoned with in his work. That man can MOVE!! No one can move like him, his voice is immediately recognisable, his style is stupendous. He has given us some memorable music and dance, and I for one am grateful for that. Who could ever forget Thriller, Billie Jean, and my own personal favourite, Man in the Mirror? This album contains tracks that can be found on previous works, but all together on one album? Yes please!! Its the ultimate album from the ultimate performer, and lets give him the credit he deserves for that. No one performs like Michael Jackson., and I'd still pay to see him. However,this album is the next best thing ... Read More:

The Very Best of George Benson: the Greatest Hits of All

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: George Benson

Release Date June 09, 2008
There have been numerous 'Best Of George Benson' compilations over recent years, none of which have been all-inclusive (that is a probable marketing ploy). This re-packaged selection continues the trend; having said that, it does serve as a pleasing introduction to the superb fusion jazz/R&B/pop that Mr Benson serves up masterfully.

Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Five Star

Release Date April 07, 2003
Although not as widely popular in the U.S. as in England, 5 Star managed to score several hits. Most U.S. audiences first became aware of them from "All Fall Down", which hit the R&B and dance charts. "Can't Wait Another Minute" and "If I Say Yes" are prime examples of Brit-Pop at it's finest. Why they never became super huge here is still a mystery.

Most Of The Remixes...

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

Release Date October 22, 2007
The Dewaele brothers hail from Belgium and are better known as Soulwax or 2 many Dj's in the clubs. Famous for their eclectic and inventive Dj sets they have also amassed an impressive back catalogue of original productions and remixes for other artists. As the title suggests, most of those remixes are featured here as glorious 12" versions! Yay!

Most of the tracks are a frantic mash up of rock, techno and pop and the Soulwax sound is original and well produced. Particular highlights include an electro re-working of Gorillaz 'Dare', a bonkers rave remix of Robbie Williams' cover of 'Lovelight' and the dance version of Gossip's 'Standing in the Way of Control' as used on TV drama Skins marketing campaign. All the tracks on CD 1 are good except maybe ... Read More:

Blue Lines

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Massive Attack

Release Date June 01, 1991
In reference to the review dubbing this a one track album, what album were you listening to???? I am offended by your review!

Yes unfinished sympathy is a truly great song, but is by no means the best on the album! Blue lines is one of the greatest albums ever and every track is a classic!

Dive Deep

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

Release Date February 04, 2008
I was a massive fan of Big calm. Listened to it non stop a few years back but since then i kind of forgot about Morcheeba and subsequently did not get much play time on my ipod.. Then my Girlfriend surprised me with tickets to watch them at the Shepherds Bush Empire. They blew me away!

As soon as i got home i listened to there new album which i didnt even know was out. I think it is the best album they have done. Absolutely briliiant, some real hair on the back of your head classic tunes like 'Enjoy the ride' 'Gained the world' 'Sleep on it'.

Great Album a must for any collection!!

The Best of OMD

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

Release Date February 29, 1988
Besides the obvious highlight, 'Enola Gay', most of this is mediocre 80's synth, grating and dated-sounding.

The synth grates after a while, and the likes of 'Messages' is repetitive and hokey, without even any lyrics to drag it above average. 'Souveneir sounds like something you would hear playing in B&Q or General George, utterly banal.

The vocals are unpleasant, and the rest of the album plays out in the same way, so inoffensive it's offensive. Droning synth-by-numbers.
