Advantages: A danceable collection
Disadvantages: One really naff track

...This is my first album review so any criticisms or advice will be greatly appreciated. I decided to review J to tha Lo – the Remixes, an album by Miss Big Butt herself, Jennifer Lopez, as it is one of the CD’s in our house that gets a lot of play time. The album cover is a collection of pictures from her various musical videos. J-Lo released this offering in March 2002, and the album offers remixed versions of many of her tracks, previously released as singles, or on her other albums. A con, to persuade us to part with more money? Well, see what you think. The album is available from HMV priced at £16.99. TRACK LISTING ************* 1. Love don’t cost a thing (RJ Schoolyard Mix) 2. Ain’t it funny (Remix feat. Ja Rule) 3. I’m gonna be alright (Trackmasters remix feat 50 Cent) 4. I’... Read review

Advantages: A few really good tracks, some De La Soul tunes you have never heard before
Disadvantages: The album has no flow, a few weak remixes

...***Warning*** This review does contain some edited adult language and themes. The words have been changed but the meaning is plain. In the stacks of wax you can find the De La Mix: Remixes, Rarities & Classics, De La Soul's 2004 release on Tommy Boy/ Rhino. This is not so much a greatest hits as it is a revisiting in an alternate universe. Both commercial and critical successes are treated to a fresh dusting off, live performance or remix on this disk. Laying down the Knowledge For those of you that don't already know, De La Soul has been around since rap was just rap. Hip hop was just starting to take root as a music genre. There was just rap. When the boys from Long Island hit the scene there was the rap that played on the radio and the rap we listened to when our parents were out of ear shot. De La dropped 3 Feet High... Read review

Advantages: Production, Guest Stars, Beats
Disadvantages: Same songs different spin

...Bad boy records is back with avengence with this great remix cd. Normally I am not keen on artists releasing CD's with just remixes of old songs on as I think it is personally a cop out. This remix cd I am glad to say is different! There are remix of very popular songs such as "Foolish" by Ashanti and also "No more Drama" by the real queen of RnB Mary J. But you also get some great new songs such as "I need a girl" part one and two, which are brilliant, although I really think he should let J Lo go now!!! Production/Beats: As you would expect with a Diddy production it is very tight! Beats are very funky and clear/crisp and every song which has been remixed sounds much better! Lyrics: All of the songs are very simple and designed for easy listening. With most Diddy songs you are never going to get very thought provoking... Read review

Advantages: Sing & Dance Alongs, Remixes of songs
Disadvantages: None

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why I brought the DVD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I purchased High School Musical The Remix Edition as I loved High School Musical and was searching for the DVD everywhere but couldn't find it, the only DVD's available were the Remix Edition and the concert, so I picked up the remix edition and looked on the back to find out there are two versions on the DVD - the original and also a sing along version including many bonus features so I thought this sounded great - and I have not been dissappointed. ~~~~~~~~~~ About the DVD ~~~~~~~~~~ I loved it even better with the singalong version. I was worried that the whole film would be subtitled but only the words come up on screen when a song is being sang - this is great as everyone loves to sing along but no one quite knows the words! If you love High School Musical... Read review

Advantages: There's alot!!!! - Like most perfumes - the fragrance and design
Disadvantages: Not too overpowering, so the fragance may not stay 'til end of the day

...Emporio Arme remix - She I absolutely LOVE this perfume. Smell It has a soft, non overpowering floral scent which is really gorgeous, made from (apparently) "A sparkling, icy and fruity opening with pear, cranberries and star anise. An energetic combination with freesia, peony, magnolia and almond tones. A wild and sensual conclusion with cedar, sandalwood and musks ". Because it is not too overpowering, it is a perfume you can simply psray and step out of the door, rather than frantically spread the amount over you body so it isn't too strong. My only complaint is that it may not linger for as long as other perfumes. I love it, as a perfume it is so versatle, suitable on a night out, formal, and everyday. Design It is classic and modern, with a glossy purple case and a simple design of the words "Emporio armani Remix... Read review

Advantages: Great songs remixed and given new meaning
Disadvantages: Not enough variety but still great

...I was sceptical as to whether this was a ploy used by the band just to sell a few more albums. However, this remixed collection of hits arguably sounds more important than the original masterpiece. Bloc Party have left onto the Brtish indie scene in 2005 and their debut 'Silent Alarm' EP was won them much accliam throughout the UK. The remixed version sounds, in one word, amazing. Opening track 'Like Eating Glass' sounds very echoed. A beautiful synth pad in the background gives the song a whole new feel. The song is mellower than the original but is absolutely fantastic. Hit song 'Banquet' is given a pounding beat. After the long intro it kicks in. There is a definite electronica feel, juxtaposed with the original guitar riffs. It sounds incredible. A definite highlight. 'This Modern Love' is the most successful sounding... Read review

Advantages: Its another one to add to the collection and is a nice collection of B-Side songs.
Disadvantages: Its a bit pricey for what you get.

.... The tune itself is really beautiful little number. It makes you think. Fela's C**k is a up beat instrumental that will have your head nodding to the grooves. Sikamikanico rocks! Its taken from Waynes World (When they're driving along in the Mirth Mobile) and it just blows your mind. Last but not least Search and Destroy. Its a good track and is a cover but I'm not quite sure whom (I think its Iggy Pop). CD3 the REMIX CD has got 2 different versions of Give it Away and 3 different versions of If you have to Ask. They're not bad but its just a bit weird hearing someone sticking dance beats over the Chili's songs. To sum things up most of the songs are taken from Blood Sugar... and are actually featured as B-Sides on the singles they released from Blood Sugar..(Give it Away, Under the Bridge etc.) so unless you're a diehard fan...

Advantages: Original sounding remixes and it's Nelly!
Disadvantages: A few minor niggles discussed in op

...I’m now going to share my inexplicable obsession with Mr Cornell Haynes a.k.a Nelly. I am amazed that this is my first review about anything Nelly-related. I had started to write one about both Nellyville and Country Grammar but I found it impossible to be unbiased. I’m confident that I’m able to be honest about my thoughts about the latest offering from the talented St. Louis rapper. Most people are aware that Nelly was first a member of the St. Lunatics, and made is the first rapper to make it as a solo star. Da Derrty Versions (The Reinvention) is more than a mere remix album. It is the first that I’ve actually gone out and bought, and am happy to keep! Being a Nelly fan from the ‘EI‘ days I loved his songs in their original states, however Nelly (with some help from some friends) practically recreates his popular hits. Part... Read review
