Like all the previous reviews,this album is a classic & one that never gets tired,other albums come & go but this one is here to stay,been a massive fan of zero 7 from the beginning since i first heard the sublime "destiny" on a late night chillout radio show,every track on the album is outstanding,wether it's the beautiful instrumental tracks or the ones with vocals,it's simply a pleasure to listen to time & time again,a true classic!

Fordlandia

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Johann Johannsson

November 03, 2008
This is the second in Johann's planned trilogy based on technology and picks up where the truly stunning IBM 1401, A User's Manual (released in 2006) left off. A modern classical masterpiece - I find it inconceivable that anyone would give this less than five stars! Sweeping strings, delightful electronic bursts, soaring harmonies that can't but help yank one's emotions all over the place. Anyone lucky enough to see Joahnn's live gig at the Union Chapel in the summer 2008 will know what a building-shaking, emotion-shattering talent this guy is.

Right....oasis fans who think that oasis are the best british band since the beatles....listen to this.....Oasis' definately maybe got voted top british album of all time...pah! this is so much better, as is anything by radiohead, pink floyd and the beatles!

Purple Rain: Original Soundtrack

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Prince

August 10, 1984
1. Let's Go Crazy. 10/10
2. Take Me With U. 10/10
3. The Beautiful Ones. 8/10
4. Computer Blue. 9/10
5. Darling Nikki. 10/10
6. When Doves Cry. 10/10
7. I Would Die 4 U. 10/10
8. Baby I'm a Star. 10/10
9. Purple Rain. 8/10

OVERALL GRADE: 10/10
Prince's 2nd best album, behind "Sign "O" the Times". Just edit "Purple Rain" a little bit and it would rise from 8/10 to 9/10, because at 8.41, it is too long. (and "Purple Rain's" outro is more than 5 mins!)

The Holy Pictures

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: David Holmes

September 08, 2008
A complete shift away from the break beat grooves of his best known material towards a more Neu influenced vibe reminiscent of Primal Scream's 'Evil Heat' crossed with the Jesus and Mary Chain's 'Darklands'. So if you get off on those this should also be your bag. Like the JAMC's Jim Reid, DH half whispers rather than sings but that's fine. Whether I play this as often as 'This film..' remains to be seen. There isnt as much to find on repeated listenings as there is on his first 2 albums but it's still pretty good at that.

What's Going On

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Marvin Gaye

January 27, 2003
This album blew my mind when I first heard it 15 years or so ago. From the first to the last this album reaches the pinnacles that other artists just cannot. To think that it is over 30 years old to me it sounds fresher and more vital than most of the bland R&B that is being offered up today. Also it's political message still blows me away.

This album is so good that everyone should own it. Infact if you know someone who doesn't get them a copy. It would count as a genuine act of kindness on your part.

It's just a shame he's not still with us.

These guys are great, first got into them through seeing them live and have seen them a further three times since. This album is cool and well worth buying but if you want the full experience go watch the live show.....

High Times: Singles 1992-2006

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Jamiroquai

November 06, 2006
It is clear that jamiroquai are something of an unusual band. I remember seeing them for the first time on TV in around 1993, (I think it was the show, The Word) performing Too Young To Die, and immediately clocked the retro 70's jazz funk style and as i was and still am a fan of such music, immediately became a fan and went out and bought the single.
The fender rhodes keys, the Stevie Wonder-esque voice, the funky bass and horns,and the sci-fi imagery and lyrics, all came to make a great sound and package, and whats more the first proper British jazz funk since Light of The World, and a great antidote to the Brit pop or electronicky stuff around.
Their first album was a constant visitor to my Cd player.
What was more surprising that they became so popular, as they ... Read More:
