 Rating:  - Too much Brucie!I was disappointed by this CD. It's just as well that it is very reasonably priced, or I would be awarding two stars. I assume that the idea is to provide a compilation of tunes ideally suited to Ballroom or Latin dancing, in versions that take into account the particular needs of dancers. Instead, we have some fairly ordinary versions of the tunes, sometimes at rather strange tempos. For example, Norah Jones' version of "Come away with me" is equally good as a waltz, and musically more satisfying than Track 7. Similarly "Smooth"; the Santana/Rob Thomas version is an excellent Cha Cha and cannot be bettered. This one won't be spending much time in the CD player. I wish I'd simply downloaded the originals from iTunes and made my own compilation. ... Read More: Rating: - It's OK, but no moreThis album, judging from the other comments is clearly ideally suited to dancers who want to use it to dance to... Fair enough, with a title like "Strictly Come Dancing" - that's fair enough. But... One of the big attraction for me of "Strictly" is the fine orchestra and singers performing loungy versions of popular tunes, along with some traditional dance music - this album looked great (and I didn't look carefully enough) until I found that the majority of the songs were performed by the great Bruce Forsyth; don't get me wrong - I like Bruce, he's come back better than ever and a few songs from him would be great, but he just can't carry the album. You won't be sorry you bought this, it's nice to listen to - I'd just ... Read More: Rating:  - An excellent compilation.......As a Strictly addict and dancer, this compilation was a MUST HAVE and I'm really pleased with it...what a great collection of re-worked modern classics and old favourites. Track seven is gorgeous and very well chosen for this album...so much so I'm thinking of having it as our wedding dance later this year! I agree with some of the comments below though - track six is blatently NOT a Paso and must be a Samba (a mere admin error on the sleeve perhaps?!). Great value for money as well - surely it's time for volume two (and three, and four......!)? Rating: - Strictly Come DancingOverall, a very engaging, fresh and entertaining cd of ballroom music. It is NOT a ballroom beginner's CD because the combination of lyrics and, at times, difficult-to-make-out rhythm, and musical arrangement make it not ideal for beginners. The waltz at track 7 is excellent and is one of the best modern tunes I have heard for the modern ballroom waltz in recent times. The quicksteps are also very good and Bruce Forsyth's singing makes those particular tracks quite magical, especially track 14! Criticisms are: track 6 is noted as a Paso Doble - this is NOT a Paso Doble but a samba; track 16 is noted as a waltz but its tempo is neither a modern waltz nor classical waltz (Quick Waltz) - in short, it is not a ballroom dance of any description!; track ... Read More: Rating: - more please..........This is a fantastic album for music lovers as well as dancers. The band's arrangements of tried and tested standards and ballads are a refreshing mix of old and new with a modern feel. Bruce's 'Saturday night is the loneliest night of the week' is an upbeat joy. Just compare it to Frank Sinatra's original, and you will hear the freshness for yourself. Technically the album sounds great with a good balance between brass and vocalists. Just a gem, I do hope there is a 'Strictly Come Dancing Too' soon. |
