Compilations in general

Well boys and gals, the summer season is upon us and we welcome back Ibiza and Ayia Napa for yet another season of dance music bliss!! We also welcome back the return of all those dodgy compliations "Ibiza Series 3", "The Sound Of Ibiza", "This What I Call Ibiza 48" "Ayia Napa - The Sound", "Big It Up Ayia Napa", "Ayia Napa - Garage Nation 14" and all those other dodgy titles, terrible mixing and every CD with the same collection of tracks in a different order. If like last year Darude always after York, or York always after Darude. Storm after Zombie Nation or Zombie ...  Read the complete review

Nutty Professor II: The Klumps Soundtrack is one of the best compilation albums to get hold of. It is more R'n'B then Hip Hop (not like the Romeo Must Die soundtrack), and features: > Janet Jackson > Jay-Z > Musiq > Case > Method Man > DMX > Brian McKnight > Dru Hill presents Jazz > Kandice Love > Eve > Shorty > Montell Jordan > R.Kelly > Sisqo feat. Foxy Brown And other artists on the UK release which I'm unsure of as the copy I have is from the US. It is a GREAT album. Don't take my word for it, if you are a hardcore R'n'B fan, u will love it. My faves are ...  Read the complete review

It seems that people are split down the middle on whether compilations are worth the money. Some people like to get all the latest hits on a couple of CD's, whilst others much prefer to buy the artists individual albums.

Lets be honest there's nothing more depressing than when you get home with your brand new shrink wrapped album just to find that it is blandness incarnate, except for that single you heard on the radio the other week (exceptions may apply). • You can get relatively good value, even in ...  Read the complete review

We bought this CD today and wow how corny! lol - Ranging from Kylie Minogues "I should be so lucky", Jason Donovans "Too many broken hearts" and Rick Astley "Never gonna give you up" to Bananarama "Venus" and allsorts! Its a great CD for reminding you of all the songs you used to listen too but nice to reminisce on :) I suppose on one scale its looking at how many songs just one guy can produce and how successful hes been in his accomplishments, I mean ok so all these songs sound corny now but when they were first out everybody thought they were the tops! and most reached that stage in the charts too. I would recomend you ...  Read the complete review

Marquee Metal Various This album is apparently intended to ’highlight the world famous club’s dedication to the past, present and future of rock and roll’ With artists such as Queen, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix and Status Quo, it certainly does what it says. However, both the artists and the tracks selected are fairly predictable, you can probably guess the tracks just by seeing the names of the bands. Also it would have been nice to see some of the heavier bands that have played, obviously they are aiming the album at as wide a range of potential buyers as possible, but bands such as Metallica and Megadeth do pretty ...  Read the complete review
