The Very Best of Marvin Gaye

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Marvin Gaye

Release Date June 18, 1999
You cannot fit all of Marvin's hits on a single CD but this collection has most of the essentials. From a British perspective, one advantage that this has over the double CD (Very best of, which was compiled in America but released in both the UK and USA) is that it includes three UK top ten hits that are not on the double CD, these being Onion song (supposedly with Tammi Terrell, though Tammi was too ill to record the song and a sound-alike substituted), You are everything (with Diana Ross) and Abraham Martin and John (which was an American hit for Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, not Marvin Gaye).

There is no room on this CD to explore Marvin's career in depth, but it does contain all his important British hits (some minor hits ... Read More:

Radio Retaliation

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Thievery Corporation

Release Date September 22, 2008
Business as usual from the Thievery crew - and no disappointments here if you're already a fan as there are no real changes here apart from more overtly political lyrics. This is more like a companion piece to the Cosmic Game and I'd say this is a slight advance as I felt CG was let down by occasionally weak tracks whereas this is more consistent throughout. But I could see many thinking that every Thievery album sounds the same and that they are one-trick ponies whose soundscapes very soon becomes tiresome. This is to miss the point - that the Thievery are the very best at the chilled beat game and that many pretenders cannot come even close to replicating their sound.

How you like this album depends on how you feel about them. ... Read More:

Barry White - The Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Barry White

Release Date January 25, 2007
Barry White didn't mean a great deal to me until I worked night shift in a local factory, when he was played quite a lot as the local station's 'sexy, night-time music.' Well, it may have been those things and more if you were at home on the sofa or in bed, but on night shift? But having your sleeping habits turned topsey-turvey certainly gave his music a more receptive edge and the emotions became much sharper, and the 'You See The Trouble With Me' track, which has a quirky and unusual kind of guitar backing really started to appeal.
Then I heard track 5, the ultra-famous 'Just The Way You Are' and being there quietly working and listening with my colleagues, the words and lyrics to this fabulous song made me realise that whatever you thought ... Read More:

Hed Kandi World Series - Ibiza: the Sound of the White Isle 2008

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

Release Date September 08, 2008
I have to say that hed kandi have done a great job here they really have captured the sounds of ibiza this year! Unlike ministry who seem to just use the word ibiza for some kind of commercial gain and slap anything together and sometimes its debateble if it has been mixed at all. If your'e wanting cd's that represent ibiza this year with precision mixing you'll not go wrong here an allround top mix from start to finish... Wait for the sun to shine (it will one day) grab a cold beer and get in the garden with the tunes on and you'd think you were on bora bora beach ;) Niiiiiiice!

Watermark

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

Release Date September 19, 1988
This was the album that put Enya on the map musically and it's easy to see why.Haunting vocals,mystical music and an artist of rare talent.

With many fantastic songs including 'Orinoco Flow','Storms In Africa' and 'Evening Falls',this is an album you can switch on,chill out to and just lose yourself.It has stood the test of time too and sounds as refreshing today as when it was originally released.

'Watermark' is a fine album,indeed it is a classic of it's type.Enya may not be to everyone's taste but she is a refreshing alternative to so much of the manufactured pop around today and deserves the worldwide success she has achieved.

Hotel Costes - 11

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Stephane Pompougnac

Release Date September 15, 2008
As you may gather from this review title, I bought this simply because I have all the other CDs in this series.

So, what's new? Very little, which if you like this type of music is a GOOD THING. A superb selection of grooves and tracks. If I'm being super-critical, theres a couple of tracks near the start of the album which I feel don't quite work or are a little weak, but once it gets moving it does what all the Hotel Costes CDs do - make you feel good.

Maybe not the strongest in every department out of all the Hotel Costes CDs, but nowhere near the worst. Perfect for when you have a few firends around chatting, for chilled nights in or for Sunday morning pick-me-up. Highly recommend.
