Side A Rockin'

1. A 10 minute cheese epic. The wanky choir intro really reminded me of both the score to the Abyss & intro to Summer Heights High... Once we actually get into the song it's 80's synths all over and a bad 80's Bowie-esque vocal. I think I know who this is,... they're not bad,... but this song's definitely too long.

2. Cool... A rock cover to a wonderful and cheesy early 80's (or was it 70s?!) hit.

3. Aghh... egh... no..... stop ...my ears are bleeding. A bit too rock for my liking, this one. ...Next!

4. Interesting start. ... This one is not as bad as the previous one.... but still not my thing.... far too much feedback.

5. This sounds better... This half of this song sound like the Beastie Boys..... As nice as the base line is, it's still too shouty.

6. Sound like Marilyn Manson. ...probably not. There are much more pleasant guitars in this, but still it does nothing for me.

Side B Chillin'

7. Lovely funky bass. Vocal sounds like that woman who sang on that famous Massive Attack song... you know the one. Not bad. Actually this could be them.

8. I really like this. Certainly the best track so far. This is definitely me... slightly trippy chillout. Lovely delay/stereo effect... makes your ears tingle with delight. Good stuff.

9. Sounds familiar. ... OK, I know what this is.... or I thought I did. Obviously a mix. This not a bad mash up. Not great though,... as it's only going to be as good as the 2 cheesy dance tracks it's made up of.

10. Speaking of familiar cheese. This is another example of a song that became overly familiar in the 90's. Good mix this time around... but still not different enough. I'd probably have loved this if I heard it 10 years ago. (Which I probably did)

11. Mmmm.... nice. Very chillout.... barely any percussion. Sounds like someone having a go a Vangelis. ...good stuff... until the vocal comes in... - it's not too invasive though.

12. Sweet trippy track to finish up... Reminds me of the Album Leaf. Pretty good.


Overall?
Not much did it for me on this compilation. ... Nice concept and sleeve design though.

4.5/10
