Advantages: a great introduction to Enya
Disadvantages: none

...depths of an artist, and Paint the Sky… is ideal for that. Fourteen tracks outline the ex-Clannad members career (I told myself I wasn't going to mention her former band, oh well) and two new creations that sound as if they were big hits for her anyway. The album opens, quite rightly, with Orinoco Flow, this is after all where it all began, the one that got the girl noticed and marked her out for great things. An almost pop induced collection of ...
...turn a song such as Paint the Sky With Stars, incidentally one of the two composed for the album specifically, will whisk you off to fly through the night sky. Whilst most of the songs have a wistful feeling, there is as much celebration as reflection in this collection of songs and On My Way Home seems to contain an equal measure of both. As you would expect the vocal work is what stands out with this album, and with Enya's work in general, but ... Read review

...tracks of the album. Call Me Irresponsible The title track of Buble's third album, I couldn't let this song pass without mentioning it. A return to the smooth jazz of Buble we are familiar with and the big band accompanies. It might be the title track but in my opinion, there is something a little bit lacklustre about this track. For me, this doesn't have the pull of what Buble is best at; it's almost as if the slowness of Lost has signalled a ... Read review

Advantages: Great versions and a couple of his own great songs
Disadvantages: Not a lot of original music, very similar sound

...and found his lastest offering Call Me Irresponsible. The I put in the CD player...... Call Me Irresponsible is Buble's third album, released in 2007.

...String 11. Always On My Mind 12. That's Life 13. Dream Buble's voice resonates well throughout the album, and his big band sounds behind him make the music very enjoyable. Buble does not just do covers, his rearreanges some of the songs, showing that he is not just a singer, he has musical skils across the board. The version of 'Me And Mrs Jones' is very close to the original, but he provides enough delay on some of the notes to create almost ... Read review

Advantages: Good background listening
Disadvantages: Odd mixture of music on the Uplifting disc

...I do often have Classic FM on the radio at home and recently bought their 2 CD set, Voices 2008. This is a compilation containing a selection of vocal pieces from the worlds of choral music and opera. There are pieces in this collection which you would immediately recognise on hearing them, even if their names are not familiar. In the set is a CD of relaxing pieces and a CD of uplifting pieces, so you have the choice of which best suits your mood. ...
...John Brunning is one of Classic FM's own presenters. He composed this short piece, which is sung on the CD by All Angels. I would describe it as a sweet piece, but it doesn't really stick in my mind after I've heard it. It's pleasant enough to hear in the background though. 4 Canteloube - 'Bailero'. Canteloube took his inspiration from the traditional folk songs of the Auvergne region of France where he was born. He arranged these songs for orchestra ... Read review
