Songbird

Search: If I Fall
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 05, 2004
The quality of this album came as a real surprise to me. My mum's friend lent it to me as she really enjoyed it, but I was sceptical. All I can say is I needn't have been - it is truly fantastic. Most of the songs I hadn't heard before, but that didn't stop me enjoying them. Some of the standout tracks for me are "san andreas fault" (a classic in my eyes), "a place called home", "if i fall", "bend" and "angel". I would not say any song is out of place on this cd though, they are all worthy of being on it.
No matter what genre of music you enjoy, I would definitely recommend this album. Not just the ladies either!

Live It Like You Love It: the Best of the Charlatans Live

Search: If I Fall
by: Charlatans

Release Date July 22, 2002
I have seen The Charlatans Live 3 times and they have never disappointed me! - I know many other die-hard Charlatans fans who think they are the best live act they have ever seen, so i could not disagree more with other reviews in that The Charlatans are rubbish live!!!! - You have been watching the wrong band!! - Anyway, this album is not really a true relection of how great they are live. Many Songs seem to have been recorded badly and the sound is poor, but it still finishes with the amazing 'Sposten Green'. My final point would be that arguably the greatest band ever, the Stone Roses did so few good live gigs and they were still amazing. See the Charalatans in a small venue and you will be blown away - give the boys the respect they deserve.

Wonderland

Search: If I Fall
by: The Charlatans

Release Date December 18, 2001
Whenever music seems to get stuck in a rut, the Charlatans boldly bounce back and reinvent themselves. Wonderland is no exception from this law. It's bold, well-produced and incredibly easy to sing along to even during it's first listen. The album-opener, "You're so pretty, we're so pretty" starts the disk off with a Bristolian vibe leading you to "Judas" and the single "Love is the key" with Tim Burgess' new found pitch levels. Listen out for "A Man Needs Be Told" and "Wake Up", sheer genius. With it's Fantastic choruses, dramatic keyboards and crisp guitars, don't wait to add Wonderland to your Christmas wish list, buy it now.

Wonderland

Search: If I Fall
by: Charlatans

Release Date August 25, 2003
Borrowed this album from a friend and fell in love with it. My only previous knowledge of Charlatans was The Only One I Know (aka The Only Charlatans Song I Know). Wonderland has redressed the balance and given me a compelling reason to get to know more their other albums.
It took a few listens to really get into, but I've found so many of the tracks have multi-replayability. There's very little filler in this album, the majority of the tracks I could listen to continously.
Pure Class. Buy It.

Top Gear

Search: If I Fall
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 14, 2005
Whereas one view has been poor, I found this album pretty good. Afterall who wants to listen to the same old pony that you can listen to on the radio - turn that on instead.

I regularly watch Top Gear and noticed that some of these tracks were used for their car reviews. You know you've heard them before but don't have a clue where you can find them. Some such as 4Hero's Les Fleur was used in advertising (Bailey's I think).

I thought this was a good mixed bag of Indie/Rock/Dance/Ambient et all with some off the wall tracks thrown in. Don't be put off just because some of the tracks weren't in the top 40 or 100 for that matter. Admittedly it won't be to everyones taste and I do skip tracks myself.

Pure Genius Vol.2: 40 Acoustic Masterpieces from the World's Greatest Songwriters

Search: If I Fall
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 21, 2002
Even better than the first pure genius album, this is a superb collection of tracks. Not altogether easy listening, nonetheless great for a long evening at home or driving.
A great introduction to some of the featured artists.
