Reviews

Hi and merry Christmas to all!

Thank you for reading my humble blog, please leave your comments too so I know how to improve this:) Some reviews of cds I´ve been listening to lately. Older stuff, but still worth mentioning.
Let´s start with Erykah Badu. This is the second album she made and the last one I liked. Somehow she in my humble opinion just lost it after this album. The opening track is pure funk and the rest of the album is similar to Baduizm, which is excellent album.Penitentiary Philosophy just doesn´t fit on the album, because it´s only funk track and so different from rest of the cd. I wonder why they put it as opening track. The good part of the song is that Erykah gets to stretch her voice more than on rest of the tracks and really does good job on using hew voice in raw way. That´s the good part of the track, otherwise not my favourite, would work better on other album.

Didn´t Cha Know

... & On

And let´s move on to 90´s:) Kristine W Land Of The Living

Now here´s a legendary singer and the first track I ever heard in club was Feel What You Want. Absolute classic that is and it is included this album. Here you get some slow ones and house tunes, which all work well. Produced by Rollo from Faithless, you can guess this is classy cd of good old house music. Kristine got a strong voice and good melodies. Sounds might be bit out of date, but I recommend this anyway. It has that 90´s house vibe, which you like or not. Good vocals, good tunes, nuff said.

Feel What You Want

Land Of The Living


Last but definetly not least is Dj Zany´s mix cd Godfathers Of Hardstyle. Name tells you all there is to know. You got good selection of hardstyle here. Well mixed and the mix really works well. I still prefer unmixed cds, but this has it pumping all cd long well eventhough there´s 26 tunes on the cd. If you listen to it as dj-mix you enjoy this much more than listening to it as compilation. I think this is a good example of hardstyle music and good selection of that sound. Good tracks, well mixed and put together. Nothing essential or superb, but still worth getting at low price. Quality.
