This
double CD pack is a world music listening delight. CD one, Velvet,
is mellow, subdued and relaxed, while Beat Up ups the beat – both
CDs are layered with sounds from Africa to South America with a
touch of French sophistication.
Music
Live from The Panel
various artists
Liberation
Possibly the best part of The Panel is the live music, which always
sounds better in such an intimate environment. This CD has the tracks
of the 2005 series, with artists such as Alex Lloyd, David Gray,
Jet, The Cat Empire and Amiel you’re guaranteed a special listening
experience.

U2
Island
Rough, raw and tight – U2 are back with a vengeance. The Edge
has rediscovered his rock and roll heart, and he powers this album
along with a tempo to match his pulse. Bono is terrific as usual,
but you can hear a fragile edge to his voice.
Adam Clayton’s bass playing has never been so lyrical, and Larry
Mullin’s drumming is perfection.
This CD is instantly so familiar that you would be excused for thinking
it’s a greatest hits album.
The package is complemented by the inclusion of a superb DVD featuring
interviews and video clips.

Korn
Epic
Unlike most so-called “greatest hits” album, this truly is an
offering of Korn’s best work.
Covering every facet of their lengthy career to date, this is not
just a cheap money grab. For the price of a full-length album you
get 19 tracks, including a stirring rendition of Pink Floyd’s Another
Brick in the Wall.
You also get a DVD of a live performance at the CBGB in New York,
which sounds like a 76mm gun going off in your lounge room. It certainly
had this reviewer jumping around like an idiot.
For Korn fans this is definitely a worthy addition to your collection,
for new fans it’s a great way to get into them. For everybody else,
cover your ears.

This CD is summer on a disc. It’s full of laid back tunes that
will make you wish you were on the beach chilling out with friends.
It has the current popular alternative Australian artists such as
Jet, Missy Higgins and Gelbison, as well as overseas artists Gomez
and Ben Harper.
A great listen, the album will stick in your head like sand in your
togs.
