Review - The Samsung M7600 'Beat DJ'

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

... Samsung M7600 BeatDJ In the past few mobile phone manufactures have managed to dislodge the Sony Ericsson's Walkman range from the top of the pile where music phones are concerned, the only model to come close is the almighty iPhone? Nokia tried and failed with their 5310 XpressMusic handset, as did LG and until recently Samsung didn't quite make it with both the Jet and F400. However, Samsung have not given up on the music phone market - as the release of their latest handset demonstrates, the new Samsung M7600, aptly named the BeatDJ. The BeatDJ takes the genre of the music phone to an entirely new level; it is the first to incorporate a virtual turntable, but is this enough to steal the title of the 'Ultimate Music Phone,' or is this just another gimmick? Appearance At first glance the Beat DJ looks...

Norman Wisdom, You Can't Beat it

Advantages: Very Funny
Disadvantages: None

...ON THE BEAT. = ~Introduction~ ***************** The irrepressible Norman is back in arguably his funniest film. ~Synopsis~ *********** Norman is sick of being a parking attendant and dreams of following in his fathers footprints and become a police man. Unfortunately he fails the height test, not that that would be a problem today. Dejected he starts going through his dad's old chest and guess what he finds? His fathers old police uniform, oh no. He puts it on and goes for a stroll down the street, which as you can probably guess leads to huge mayhem, farcical whimsy and general madness. Eventually after being caught impersonating a policeman some bright spark notices that he bears a striking resemblance to a nasty criminal that the police have been after for quite a while, Giulio Napolitani. Now Norman must...

When Your Heart Stops Beating

Advantages: A couple of decent tracks
Disadvantages: The album lacks consistency, a lot of fillers are evident here

...and 'When Your Heart Stops Beating' is therefore a much better offering than what we had from Mr DeLonge. Whereas after the demise of Blink 182, Tom DeLonge took the route of taking himself far too seriously and becoming a complete egotist, +44 are far more light-hearted, and although their music is at times a far cry from that of what they were producing as Blink 182; a lot of the time the tracks here sound like cast off's from Blink 182's self titled release. 'When Your Heart Stops Beating' starts off promisingly with 'Lycanthrope', a track which is fairly pacey and keeps your interest for the 4 minutes that it runs for. Although this track is pacey with strong drum beats and guitars, it's never really anything spectacular and although starts the album nicely enough it will never leave you gasping in awe of what you have just listened to...

Britneys Dance Beat

Advantages: Good Workout, a laugh if you've got your mates round
Disadvantages: Only 5 Songs, the button meter confusing if you've played other dance mat games

...Format: PS2 Price: Around £29.99 Age Range: 3 years + Number of Players: 1 to 2 Dance Mat Recommended, however you can use regular playstation control. After (at 25) having a shot of a friends? Dance Mat in December, I rushed out and bought my own one, along with one of the other dance mat games. A couple of months ago I bought Britney's Dance Beat and rushed home to play it. Yes, it was great fun at first, falling about all over the place and even better if you've got your mates round and the wine is flowing. You work up a sweat and if you've really overdone it, your legs might hurt in the morning. However, the novelty soon wore off after discovering that there was only 5 songs, which you play in easy mode to then unlock the full version. And Britney?s voice can get a bit annoying with her ?you can do it?, ?don?t stop...

The Best of the Beat

Advantages: Great beats, great lyrics, brilliant songs - all hits
Disadvantages: Couple of songs not so hot

...I bought this recently and was amazed at how many songs I still new the words to that still had me bopping away - some great vocals and unexpected harmonies. Unfortunately, as with most greatest hits, the insert fails to provide lyrics, but does give a great write-up on the band. For all The Beat and ska fans, this album is a must! Even if not so much into ska, its a great album full of hits, almost all you will remember. 01 - Mirror in the Bathroom - reminded me of teenage days, being too conscious of looks and it really brought the ska beat to the front, preparing you for the rest of the album. 02 - Save It For Later - having a great tongue in cheek line, "just hold my hand while I come, to a decision I meant!", brings to mind the struggles of couples having the discussion about previous partners, and one finding out just how...

Eat To Blondies Beat

Advantages: Atomic, variety of styles, Debbie's vocals
Disadvantages: a couple of the tracks are rather weird

...This was the first Blondie album I bought and after this, I continued to buy their albums and collect memorabilia on Debbie Harry. This began a love of their music, which has lasted over twenty years so far. Eat To The Beat has twelve tracks on it, with the overall style definitely being rock, but there are some beautiful, deep and meaningful songs in here too. Side One begins with Dreaming, which is a song I used to sing with my friends at school. I still remember all the lyrics, although I don't think this song is generally very well-known, especially when compared to some of the great classic songs on here. Union City Blue is the most famous track on Side One, but was never one of my favourites. But the other smash hit on the album is Atomic, which must still rate as a classic, one of Blondie's best songs and a great track...

Terrorism - Could We Beat It?

Advantages: New Solutions - Technology etc, Use history
Disadvantages: None

...were set off on the London train station as well as one Bus by terrorists that set the bombs off them selves causing the deaths of 52 deaths and hundreds of casualties. No intelligence was known before this happened allowing for no prevention to take place. The reason why I have explained three terrorist attacks from Britain and America is to show that no one knew anything about the possibility of these things happening. Knowing what some of these people were going to do was like knowing that two people in a locked room had a conversation about how long a piece of string is, if no one else in that room how is anyone else going to tell some else about it if those two people don?t talk to someone else about it therefore making it extremely hard to beat terrorism therefore you could conclude that knowledge is power. What can be done...

Culture Beat - 'Serenity' (1993)

Advantages: Innovative, original, breathtakingly diverse, emotive, and damn funky!
Disadvantages: Title track is poor; a few more songs because it's all over too soon!

...The 'Serenity' album by Culture Beat was released in the UK in 1993, and went on to spawn 3 hit singles (and one dud). If you are a fan of old school Euro-dance, I cannot recommend this album highly enough. It has dated extremely well, sounding surprisingly fresher now than at the time. What makes this album miles better than those of their peers at the time (Acapella, 2 Unlimited et al) is the extraordinarily versatile ideas, arrangements and sounds. This is an album made lovingly by a producer who, had he not died so tragically soon after this album's release, would definitely have become to dance music what Timbaland is to hip-hop today. With the exception of the dull and overblown title track, every song on the album is a killer, and the way they mix and match is quite extraordinary. For example, 'Anything' is a powerful, fast...

Beat 106

Advantages: Amazing Humour, Stunning music and Bizarre Competitions
Disadvantages: Mainly Scotish

...Beat106 Beat 106 is a popular Radio station which broadcast across the west of scotland and online. The Radio station is one of my favourites as it plays a wide selection of music to different tastes. Although most peoples first reaction when they turn thier radio's on in the morning is to listen to Chris Moyles Beat 106 have in my view a better Duo, Paul & Fraser host the breakfast show from 6-10 am and it will really wake you up! Aswell as listening to your favourite songs from artists like greenday, kaiser chiefs, coldplay....the list goes on, you get to hear about what paul and fraser have been up to and its usually something funny, like trying to sit in the thrown at Miss Scotland 2005! If your not in the Scotland then you can always listen live online @ www.beat106.com or even view the webcam! If you still dont really know if...

We Are Already Beating It

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: n/a

..., we are not beaten. They are not beating us, we are beating them. The point of terrorism is to scare everybody into making them support the cause of the terroists, and if people still go about their daily lives, and carry on as normally as we can, the terrorists remain a minority against us. We can beat them, by not changing our way of life, or what we do and like to do. Ofcourse this is easier for me to say than the people who lost loved ones in the attacks, or were in the attacks themselves. Ofcourse we should not act like this has not happened, we need to catch the people responsible and bring them to justice. For many people it is possibly like the terrorists have won, because they have taken someone away from them, and i know i, and many others, could so easily have been in the position. So i am not trying to make this out to be...
