Andrew's ReviewComing Soon...

 

Artwork Rating: 8/10 Extremely Good

This artwork is very atmospheric. I loved the open landscape designs, and the colour of the red sky is beautifully done. Possibly one of the best original 90's designs.

 

Disc 1 Favourite: M People – Sight For Sore Eyes

M People had a distinctive sound in the 90s and they had many hits. This isn't my favourite of theirs but I did own their greatest hits on cassette once so I was certainly a fan!

 

Disc 2 Favourite: Bobby Brown – Two Can Play That Game

Loved this since the day I discovered it many years after its release. Very funky and summery. An absolute 90's gem.

 

Overall Rating: 9/10 Amazing

This volume for me marks the start of some really good music for the rest of the 90s, and the quality was really stepped up I feel. Some tremendous anthems within these discs and lots of the music has lived on. Great 90's volume.

 

Andrew's Best 5 (as of February 2017)

1. Bobby Brown – Two Can Play That Game

2. N-Trance – Set You Free

3. (MC Sar &) The Real McCoy – Run Away

4. Nightcrawlers – Push The Feeling On

5. Alex Party – Don't Give Me Your Life

 

Andrew's Worst 5 (as of February 2017)

1. Nicki French – Total Eclipse Of The Heart

2. Mica Paris – One

3. Sean Maguire – Suddenly

4. Ultimate KAOS – Hoochie Booty

5. Simple Minds – She's A River

Edited March 2, 20178 yr by awardinary™

Artwork 6/10

Disc 1: East 17 - Stay Another Day now a Xmas classic :heart:

Disc 2: N-Trance - Set You Free Oneof my favourite dance songs of all time!!!

Overall 7/10 some great tracks on here

My top 15, top five clearly ahead of the rest.

 

1. East 17 – Stay Another Day

2. Nicki French – Total Eclipse Of The Heart - the American version thou, the UK version would rank at least a few places lower

3. Deuce – Call It Love

4. (MC Sar &) The Real McCoy – Run Away

5. Corona – Baby Baby

6. Rednex – Cotton Eye Joe

7. N-Trance – Set You Free

8. Nightcrawlers – Push The Feeling On

9. Kenny ‘Dope’ Presents The Bucketheads – The Bomb (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind)

10. Cher, Chrissie Hynde & Neneh Cherry with Eric Clapton – Love Can Build A Bridge

11. Jimmy Nail – Crocodile Shoes

12. The Outhere Brothers – Don't Stop (Wiggle Wiggle)

13. Alex Party – Don't Give Me Your Life

14. Boyzone – Love Me For A Reason

15. R. Kelly – Bump N' Grind

So I'm back in the game with these then & I'll be including the results of the sites' Now Rates which go all the way from 30 up to 92!

 

From a personal viewpoint this is an INCREDIBLE edition. So many dance anthems on that second Disc & one of my all-time favourite songs Oasis - Whatever :wub:

 

The artwork is cool, love the red sky & desert theme. Pretty obvious what my Disc 1 fave is but Disc 2 is hard to pick - I'm gonna give it to Alex Party, one of the most feelgood 90s songs of all time.

 

So overall an 8/10 from me, many many songs I revisit.
