1.The Definitive Collection by: Stevie Wonder November 28, 2005

This is probably the best compilation album of Stevie's work and that's great but I urge you all to use this as a taster of his work, there is lots of it and if you buy anything before 1980 you will love it if you like this. Unfortunately he's done nothing of real note after the 1970's and that was where his key work was done. The trilogy of talking book, innvervisions and Songs in the key of life are treasures to be explored in their won right and you should all do so, personally although songs in the key of life is seen as his masterpiece it was a double album brain dump of everything he was working on and contains material that is weaker than the shorter talking book and innvervisions, with Innvervisions representing his finest (non compilation) ...

3.Songs In The Key Of Life by: Stevie Wonder May 08, 2000

Can anybody think of many double albums on which every track is even 'good' let alone a master work? They are very few and far between as the majority of them just go on for far to long with too much 'filler'. And so we come to SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE by MR. Stevland Morris. After the masterpiece which was INNERVISIONS in 1973, Stevie Wonder released this magnum-opus in 1976. Is it as good as INNERVISIONS? The answer is a resounding YES, YES, YES! Up-lifting and beautiful, happy yet melancholy, it doesn't get any better than this. Go and buy it.

4.The Brazilian Funk Experience: Patrick Forge Presents Rare Grooves from the EMI & Odeon Vaults 1968-1980 by: Various Artists April 03, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £4.01 (45%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £12.85
Some real gems here. Granted some of the tracks have been released on other compilation records (namely Gilles Peterson's; indeed Forge used to DJ with Gilles back in the eighties; check out their excellent Dingwalls record) but that's because the songs are excellent. There's a nice mix of funk, jazz, folk and soul here that is sure to make your average party goer stand up, take notice, and applaud your unique and well flavoured musical taste.

5.Off the Wall: Remastered by: Michael Jackson December 01, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £5.01 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.50
Wow, not a single reviewer rates it less than five stars. As good as they may be, later albums sound contrived in comparison. It's just fresher more 'alive' than his other stuff. If you don't already have this, don't hesitate.

6.Ultimate by: Prince August 21, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.98 You Save: £5.01 (46%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.10
It's becoming almost an annual event to churn out a Prince Greatest Hits album now. The annoying thing about that is that there's not much different about any of them. They usually contain at least 10 tracks similar to the previous effort and never have anything from the Batman album. Batdance was a huge hit I recall. This "Ultimate" album has the novelty factor of some extended remixes (basically the old 12" singles). Overall though, this compilation is lacking and doesn't show off enough of the great man's versatility. It's the safe option for the casual fan.

7.River: The Joni Letters by: Herbie Hancock October 01, 2007

I agree with all the other reviews on the album , well nearly all . As my title says , why for Gods sake did H.Hancock and co put this has been in on what is a good listening album - but Leonard "let me open a vein to" Cohen on a Jazz album !!???? He can't sing - never could , never will , and the only reason that I can think of why he's on this album is because he's from Canada . The track is not "interesting" it's bloody awful and the producers should hang thier heads in shame .

Don't think, just buy. Had this for ages listened to it thousands of times. Also it's priceless just play the first track LOUD to any unsuspecting victim.

Not much to say about this album, I bought it on the glowing remarks which I had seen and thought what the heck and was sadly disapointed! Well the CDDB database set this as funk which I would say it is for the most part not, you in affect get the sort of dull repetitive dance influenced drivel you get in so many bars that try so hard to be so different and which are sadly all so similar. If you want some background fluff for parties where people do not care about content but just want some bumpy overly sampled background music then this will do it. If you're looking for some modern exciting funk this is not - try Quantic instead.
