the return of crowded house............2007-03-15

this band needs no intro....
this greatest hits shows the greatness of a band audio-wise but doesnt show their incredible live presence and on-stage banter that made them legends. Paul Hester sadly left us a few years ago but the news is out:

Crowded House Reform - Official Statement from the Band

Crowded House founders Neil Finn and Nick Seymour have confirmed that they will be putting the band back together, with plans for a new studio album and world tour.

Talking about the decision Neil said "After spending most of last year making music and hanging out with my friend Nick Seymour we are now announcing our intention to reform Crowded House with a new record entitled Time On Earth. It feels right to us that the band should re-emerge at this time and together with Mark Hart we look forward to reconnecting with the audience that we established and for whom we still hold a deep respect. We aim to make the upcoming shows and the new music every bit as vital and spirited as what has come before. We are conscious that Paul Hester was above all a great drummer and we are currently auditioning to find someone special to take that role."

The band is currently putting the finishing touches on the new album for release later in the year. Tour plans are yet to be announced but the band have confirmed they will play the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in California USA along with Bjork, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Rage Against the Machine."

they are coming out with a new album this year (2007) and a new tour!!!!

GOD BLESS CROWDED HOUSE.....

Great CD.......2007-02-09

I really didn't know much about this band. I loved the song "Don't Dream It's Over"; so I bought this CD. The entire CD is great. It is filled with easy listening and mellow songs. The CD just leaves you feeling really good. I love it.

Essential compilation of severely underrated band.......2007-01-19

I agree with most of the other reviewers: Crowded House were massively underrated. The critics were fond of their albums at the time, and in the years since Neil Finn has been acknowledged of one of the master songwriters of his generation. Still, outside of their home turf of Australia and New Zealand, few people are familiar with the name Crowded House. Play them "Don't Dream It's Over," their brilliant 1987 chart-topper, and you'll probably get a vague, "Ohhh, they did *that* song." This is simply a shame.

Almost every band purported to be the Next Big Thing eventually gets compared to The Beatles, whether it's Duran Duran or The Strokes, and it's usually quite a stretch in any number of ways. Not so with Crowded House. In superficial aesthetics the two bands share a lot in common: the Rubber Soul-like harmonies that adorn their album Woodface; the driving, melodic basslines of Nick Seymour (much like Paul McCartney); Paul Hester's non-technical, but undeniably toe-tapping drumming; and Neil Finn's voice, which can break into Lennon-esque, hoarse rock shout, or have a soothing clarinet quality like McCartney.

But the songwriting is where the comparison is most apt. The Beatles' best songs seem almost inevitable and cosmic: *somebody* was bound to happen upon a melody this perfect eventually (as in "Yesterday"), and for some reason Lennon and McCartney were able to pluck such songs out of the air regularly. Neil Finn did the same, several times for each album, with Crowded House. Listen to "Four Seasons In One Day" just once, and you'll hear what I mean.

With this album, all these songs are collected in one place. I can't say how essential this disc is for anyone who appreciates outstanding pop songwriting that goes beyond catchy and crafted and into the realm of something deep and transcendent. The first 10 listens you'll be enjoying the melodies, energy and fantastic production; after that, you'll feel like you've found a new musical best friend. It's that good.

An entire CD that is very easy to listen to........2007-01-13

This CD plays like an easy listening extravaganza. Every song is mellow and classic. The band is apparently from New Zealand/Australia, which may explain the subtle brit pop undertones.. not to mention the McCartney-esque style of a few tracks. Overall this CD is a great buy, you won't be disappointed.

beautiful, soaring, exciting pop/rock.......2006-12-31

When I first listened to this disk, I could knew one Crowded House song (Don't Dream It's Over), which is a great song, but I didn't know the band. A friend recommended this disk, which I listened to the first time at work. I didn't get anything done for that hour, and if CD's could wear out, I'd long ago have needed to replace this one.

Crowded House may not be a major band - one MTV hit, a couple of radio hits, and they're real big in New Zealand (where they are from) - but they are one of greats. Reminiscent at times of (OK, I know, this gets thrown around too often, but it's true) the Beatles (in their mid-years - think Rubber Soul) and The Ocean Blue, they can mellow with the best (Not the Girl You Think You Are, Four Seasons in One Day). When they choose to rock (Locked Out), the maintain musical and lyrical integrity. Weather With You is an indescribable joy.

Perhaps not for metalheads, but anyone who likes sophisticated (but not overly complex) arrangements, thoughtful lyrics, and spotless, emotional performance will love this.

It's easy to dismiss the music of this cute, vegan, bare-pated relative of Herman Melville, especially if you don't actually listen to the music and focus instead on his ultra-PC interview style or the manner in which he sold dozens of songs to commercials and film soundtracks back in Y2K. But to do so is to knee-jerkedly miss out on some very fine and innovative music by one of the most influential musicians of the last decade. With the exception of two tracks (one of them the title tune), Go is a best-of from the years that Moby's been on the V2 label, from 1999's breakthrough hit Play onward. But Play--with its uncanny reworking of field recordings with playful beats and ambient textures--remains the artist's finest moment. A full disc of remixes and a smattering of unreleased songs (including a rad new number with Debbie Harry on guest vocals) make this an essential purchase for rabid fans. And, as a judicious selection of Play-era material is included alongside the finest songs from Moby's subsequent albums, 18 and Hotel, this is also the perfect entry point for the more casual fan. --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

The only definitive greatest hits collection chronicling Moby's entire career. It also features new and previously unreleased material - (1) new single "New York, New York" with Blondie's Debbie Harry (2) two new mixes - including one of "GO," his debut commercial smash (3) a live version of "Feeling So Real." The DELUXE EDITION features an 11-track BONUS remix CD personally compiled by Moby and includes the legendary "Bodyrock" Olav Basoski remix. The deluxe edition tracks are NOT available on ANY Moby full-length CD.

The best of Moby.......2007-07-28

I am not the massive fan of Moby's music as I once was back in the late '90s and early '00s. I used to own most of his cds but eventually my taste in music changed and I sold my Moby cds. I decided to check out Moby's best of compilation GO: THE VERY BEST OF MOBY after I had a craving for his music. There are two discs, disc one consists of the original tracks and disc two consists of remixes. I found the remix disc absolute rubbish and boring beyond belief. It was so not necessary to include a remix disc in my personal opinion. I am just content with disc one. Since I hadn't heard Moby's last studio cd HOTEL, the songs from that album were new to me. I especially loved "Dream About Me" w/Laura Dawn on vocals. The song is so addictively catchy. Laura's delicate vocals is another reason why I love the song. I am so glad Moby didn't include that rancid version of "South Side" with Gwen Stefani on vocals. Gwen Stefani can't sing period and she totally ruined that song for me when that new version of "South Side" came out. I wasn't too big on the 2006 version of "Go". I prefer the original version. I love Debbie Harry but her voice totally ruined the song "New York, New York". I wish Moby found someone else to sing vocals. As overplayed "Porcelain" was, I still love that song and all the singles from PLAY (as well as 18). GO: THE VERY BEST OF MOBY is a good compilation for casual fans like me.

Good CD if you don't want to buy all his stuff.......2007-06-15

If you're a more casual Moby fan, this is the one to have.

Very Happy.......2007-02-21

I am very happy with my Amazon purchase. It was in the condition reported and am enjoying the CD thouroughly.

Very Very Good !!.......2007-01-17

I bought this cd some weeks ago, its a really good cd if you dont know much of mobys work or for people who collect mobys cds. If you do know mobys work and you want something new this will not help, you can buy "new york new york" single cause thats the only new song. And as for the artwork, the cover is nice but the booklets inside pictures are a bit disappointing. Oh well, moby rulez anyway.

Better than the UK Version.......2006-08-30

All tracks are classics in their own way a must have for any diehard New order fan as the track listing differs from the UK version. Gone are the tracks found on Substance and in come the opening tracks from new orders first 3 albums + Lets Go(Nothing for me) a barnstormer of a track which I believe is only available on here or on the Retro box set. All in all a fine add on to your collection.

7 Years and Going Strong.......2006-06-11

That's how long it's been since I've discovered New Order and, consequently, it's also how long they've been my favorite band. I am reviewing this album a second time because I forgot the e-mail and password I had for my other account (brilliant move, I know). With that said, this sweet, resplendent compilation was the second CD I purchased by the group, following Substance. While I love both collections with about the same intensity now, I have to admit that I liked New Order's "Best Of" much more at the start. While Substance is an awesome album of singles that is a nessecity for any true fan of the band, "The Best Of New Order" is more accessible to new fans as well as to those who may be only casual listeners. The songs are short, but sweet: an excellent fusion of rock, pop and techno. It's difficult to choose the standouts, because doing so would mean having to name at least 3/4's of the tracks on this CD.

However, I have to make mention of both "True Faith" and "Bizarre Love Triangle," because these are the two pop gems that hooked me into the band. Hearing Bernard Sumner's smoothe vocals singing "I used to think that the day would never come I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun" on the radio (yes, there used to be a station in the Bay Area that played this song on a regular basis!) used to give me a serious emotional high. The same with "Bizarre Love Triangle's" catchy chorus, "Every time I see you falling I get down on my knees and pray." While these two tracks I'm sure have been worn out by long time fans (as they have by me), they are the perfect tunes for attracting new listeners who love a danceable synth-pop sound. I only wish that the former track hadn't been cut down to about 4 and a half minutes (the original is close to 6 minutes long). For some reason I really like the editing in BLT '95, though, and I even like the remixing.

Other standouts include "1963", which sounds softer than the original and opens with a nice accoustic riff, the insanely catchy "Touched By the Hand Of God," and the incredibly underrated opener, "Let's Go (Nothing For Me)." I had heard that last track on a radio station as well and I had no idea who sang it until I found New Order via True Faith and BLT. As I stated in my earlier review, I believe this compilation compliments, rather than replaces Substance very nicely. True, it's missing some great singles (Perfect Kiss, Temptation, Subculture) but it also has some classics that Substance missed (Age Of Consent, Dreams Never End, Love Vigilantes). So, I would have to highly recommend getting both. Acquire and enjoy!

Very Innovative.......2006-01-05

I'm a college student, and I find that current pop music doesn't do it for me. In fact, most of my friends listen to music that dates from the 1960s to the early 90s. I love this CD, New Order is very easy to listen to and enjoy. You can even hear the foundations of modern day house music within some of the tracks. The melancholy tone of the lead singer is definitive of a lot of the pop in the 80s, yet he does not bore you. Although I do admit, you can tell that all the tracks have somewhat of a general way of being constructed; so I recommend listening to the 30 second snippets that Amazon provides to decided if you really want to buy it. However, if you want a CD that is somewhat definitive of 80s Brit Pop, and made a huge impact on the Pop scene, I would definitely recommend buying this. It's a great compilation of the music by New Order.

the best?.......2005-12-02

not good, not also bad, I just like half of the tracks, while skip the other half

awesome.......2005-09-28

this has quickly elevated itself to one of my favorite cd's to listen to, every track selected is really great and I rarely skip over any of them. This truly is "the best of" new order, and one of the best group compilations i've ever purchased. Definetly a worth while record.

Basia .......2007-06-07

She has such a fabulous voice and her work fills your spirit !

Sparkling and Sassy!.......2007-01-27

I have enjoyed and admired Basia's bright vocals for two decades now; this is a fine collection and representation of the creative stylings of this jazz-pop-soul-samba lovin' Polish woman. She can get into your heart!

Someone asked in the reviews about pronouncing her name. It's "Bosh-uh," as in rhyming with "Sasha" or "Tasha."

If you enjoy this "best of" album, I guarantee you'll find a lot more great stuff to sing out really loud to on all of her other albums. She's worth it.

Clear Horizon: Best of Basia!!.......2007-01-22

This Foxy Looking/Sultry Voiced Gal Is Fun To Listen To! Anyone know how to pronounce her name??? This is a great album to have!Except for a couple of songs where she seems to fall a little flat, the rest is outstanding. Her style of vocals sets herself apart from other singers and I find that refreshing. GOOD STUFF!!!! AAA+++

I love this cd.......2007-01-09

This woman has the most amazing voice. I listen to this cd in my car. It is so uplifting and makes me smile.

Clear Horizon: The Best of Basia.......2007-01-05

This is a great collection of hits for adult contemporary and jazz music fans. Basia's voice is unique yet soothing to listen to. If you love the vocal stylings of Sade or Corrine Drewery of Swing Out Sister....then you will enjoy the sweet sounds of Basia.

It's fair to assume that if you're a Seal fan, you prefer your pop shot through with substance. Using that as a guiding principle, you'll want to glide right into Best: 1991-2004 where you will encounter, throughout two discs and 27 songs, scarcely a second of musical fluff. All the expected goosebump-raisers come on disc one--"Don't Cry" follows "Prayer for the Dying" follows "Kiss from a Rose" follows "Crazy"--and they're interspersed with deeper cuts from Seal IV such as "Get It Together" and "Loves Divine" as well as a couple of covers that, in a lesser vocalist's hands, might have been catastrophic. Seal plays it subtle and sweet and Burt Bacharach's "Walk on By," sidestepping any instinct to belt, and the help he gets from Mikey Dread on Echo & the Bunnymen's "Lips Like Sugar" settles the song into a snazzified reggae-pop celebration. (Also included is Seal's soaring cover of Steve Miller's "Fly Like an Eagle," which proved his prowess as a cover artist with its chart success). Though "best" collections aren't normally upheld for their surprise elements--nobody likes a package that challenges with armloads of new stuff--disc two pulls off a neat stunt. It's a complete acoustic album, again encompassing the major radio hits but stretching to include tracks like the impossibly tender "Touch" and the meltingly gorgeous "Colour." Their unplugged presentation, with the artist on guitar, sets an up-close-and-personal tone that suits Seal. More to the point, it suits his fans, who'll take all the intimacy with the singer-slash-heartthrob they can get. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

Multiplatinum selling, Grammy winning, critically acclaimed Seal unveils his first greatest hits collection with Seal Best 1991-2004. But there's even more-along with the single-CD edition, with original album versions of 12 of his hits and best-loved tracks plus a cover song newly recorded by Seal ("Walk on By"), a double-CD package adds a disc of newly recorded acoustic versions of nine of those cuts (and four others). For fans of the pop, dance, urban and adult contemporary, Seal Best 1991-2004 is the quintessential Seal experience.

I love love love this guy! .......2007-03-16

This album is one I can play over and over and not get tired of. His music is fun, inspirational, romantic and just beautiful. Highly recommended for those who just want to relax and comtemplate things with a nice sound in background, or turned up loud, it makes you smile and want to dance.

Seal it with a Kiss.......2007-03-11

Nobody does it better. All of Seal's greatest hits in ONE CD. Does it get any better than that?

"Greatest Hits" album could have been "greater".......2007-03-08

I would consider myself among the top 31 (arbitrary number, of course) Seal fans in the known world, and this greatest hits album is dynamic because it's Seal, but could have been better with a few missing songs. "Newborn Friend" is a lesser known hit to those who may not be as well-versed in Seal, and it definitely should have been included. It's one of his finest works and a far cry from "Kiss from a Rose" or "Crazy", his two most well-known hits. Also, a track or two extra from "Human Beings" would have been nice. I'm not sure why Seal seems hell bent on ignoring this album, which I still prefer over Seal IV, for some reason. He doesn't even seem to perform off of it much in concert. I could have done without "Lips Like Sugar", too. It just seems like filler. For what it's worth, though, the acoustic album that comes with the special edition of the greatest hits disc is stellar and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Now how about Seal V?

essential seal.......2007-02-06

if you like Seal, this is a great compilation to add to your collection. always relaxing yet refreshing, I listen to this CD along with music by Sting, Sarah McLachlan, Phil Collins & Peter Gabriel for a nice afternoon of relaxation with my MMOs or RPGs like Sims2.

D Train in a toyota.......2006-08-10

I can recall that in the early eighties i experienced D Train in a corolla. The sound realy emerged through the 5 watts blaupunkt speakers all the way through Bergen and Schoorl. I still cannot hear high tones. Have a nice day.

D train was A+ in rockin' parties.......2003-12-20

This group rocked the clubs from the years 1981-1983 (my early college years). You're the one for me, Keep on, Music, and Something on your mind made folks get on the floor.

All the "D" TRAIN you'll ever need.......2003-07-21

"D" TRAIN was a bad mutha (shut my mouth)! All of those post-disco,R&B hits are here. "You're The One For Me" (it's remixed but it still has some of that original flavor so you won't lose the vibe from back in the day),"Something's On Your Mind","Walk On By","Keep On" and more will get you on the dance floor without any delay. All 10 songs I believe are from his Prelude Records days...wishing this greatest hits set was only on vinyl to mix the hell out of every song!

There's more to D Train than meets the eye..........2003-06-14

Perhaps because Hubert Eaves III's productions were always on the cutting edge, James "D-Train" Williams was never recognized as agreat soulsinger. His ultra-soulful, full-of-conviction and strong and powerful yet sensitive vocals do place him in the same league as legendary R&B singers like Teddy Pendergrass, Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye. "Thank You", Something's On Your Mind", "Walk On By" and "Keep On" all prove this.

James D-Train Williams.......2001-03-14

This Is The Music That makes Memories James D-Train Williams is One Of The Best Male Voice Of All Time..he is Brillant And very Smooth...his talent has no limit , certenly James still obscure , but he is gonna step out of home very soon for another solo realise..for more details please join our staff at ...

tracks 9-12.......2007-03-07

are worth having this cd.
the rest is not bad either.
I am not huge fan of lounge music, but this seems to be an OK collection even for (as one reviewer dubbed us) the uninitiated.

Simply the "BEST".......2007-01-23

I use the "COSTES" series in my loungy restaurant, you couldn't find a better style and selection of chill tunes.

A sampler for the uninitiated.......2006-12-24

I love the Hotel Costes series so I thought the Best of Hotel Costes would be a good idea. I was a tad dissapointed but not enough to bury it in my archives and never listen to it again. It does lack some of the mixing that is part of the strength of the other Hortel Costes discs but it is still a very good compilation. As an introduction or if you don't want the others this will suffice.The opening track by the excellent Pink Martini entitled "Symathique"(taken from the disc of the same name)sets the table for the European sound. By the time you check out "Amour" by Rogue Rogue the pace will have you settled into the groove. These jazzy- soul laid back grooves are way cool. The standard "My Funny Valentine is reworked to create a dreamy sexy groove by Muff Muff that is hard to resist; it is mellow lovers mix for getting close to that special someone. Other stanouts include Shirley Bassy remixed version of "Where Do I Begin" that featurers the GoldFingeresque vocals to a syncopated downtempo beat for haunting results. The bossa nova infused songs mix with catchy songs like "One Night in Rio" that is a hilarious story. Trinity's version of the Simon and Garfunkel classic "Sounds of Silence" is updated for the I-Pod generation with nice spacey effects. The closing track is one the best by Stephanie P as she reinterprets the cover by Madonna "What it Feels Like For a Girl" to create a midtempo new classic although use of some of the other lyrics might have made it better? If you haven't heard the other Hotel Costes discs you might try this one but you'll be missing out the whole experience without the other volumes.

interesting choice..........2005-10-11

Stephane Pompougnac's (best of...) compilation of the Hotel Costes series has a few definite good choices on here (Adore, No Communication/No Love, London In The Rain) but some of the songs don't seem to qualify as 'the best', such as 'Clementine', 'Surrond me with your love' and 'S.O.S.' which are not that good (that's just my opinion) I say that 'IN BLACK OF NIGHT'(COSTES 6), 'PONGER STAR'(COSTES 5) and 'PLEASE DON'T LEAVE'(COSTES 7) should be on there instead of the other 3. Ah well... it still pretty good!

great downtempo collection.......2005-10-07

i don't have the other hotel costes cd's, but this collection is lush, stylish, and mellow. if you like chillout electronica with a european twist, then you'll enjoy this compilation. the first song, sympathique, doesn't fit the chillout genre, but is a great campy french edith-piaf-like song. the madonna remix is great as well. my favorite song is "surround me with your love" excellent groove. perfect music to unwind or to listen to as you work.

While Best Of may not be inclusive enough for the avid collector because it focuses more on Blondie's new wave dance hits than on their punk beginnings, songs like "Heart of Glass," "Dreaming," "The Tide Is High," and "Call Me" display the diverse musical styles this band embraced. It's a new wave album, a reggae album, a dance album, a punk album, and a rap album. Rock-solid songwriting and Debbie Harry's sultry vocals hold the CD together despite the stylistic reaches of the tracks. --Beth Bessmer

I like a little of a lot of different kinds of music.......2007-06-20

I enjoy several songs off this CD, but my favorites are (I Am Always Touched By Your) Presence, Dear, Dreaming, and Sunday Girl. I have also come to appreciate In The Flesh, and One Way or Another. I am even intrigued by Atomic, and amused by Tide Is High. I grew up on a mixture of 60s rock and 50s bluegrass and country and western, so maybe it is not so strange that I like this CD. There seems to be a little of this and that, and something for most tastes.

What got me started..........2006-07-02

Well, this was the very first Blondie cd I bought. This cd got me hooked. I'm a HUGE Blondie fan and it's all thanks to this (and "Heart of Glass" my fav song ever). It's cool because it has the popular songs and the not so popular songs that you just love! Awesome cd...

A Good Collection Of Songs.......2005-11-23

I never owned any album by Blondie other than this Best Of, so I don't know that much about the group's studio albums. I put over half of the songs from this album onto my i-pod so I think it is definitely worth getting unless you can find a more complete compilation with newer songs like Maria and Good Boys. Anyways, my favorite tracks are Heart Of Glass, Dreaming, In The Flesh, Sunday Girl, Call Me, and Atomic. Blondie was certainly a unique talent that paved the way for other female artists. Her songs hold up quite well even today!

Certainly the best of Vanessa-Mae.......2007-06-04

I have heard of Vanessa-mae for several years, but it was not until recently that I became interested in her work after stumbling on some of her MTVs on youtube. After viewing "Destiny," "Contradanza," and "Devil's Trill" I found her music intriguing enough to try out her other works. After sampling several of Vanessa-Mae's CDs, I will have to say this is literally her best CD so far.

I enjoyed listening to the great majority of the compositions on this CD. Most of the tracks are up-beat, pop like, although with a stronger classical bend than Bond/Yanni. Nevertheless, several of the tracks are simply classical in nature. Therefore, this combination showcases the range of Vanessa-Mae's work very well. I am highly anticipating her next work, as I am interested to know how she is developing her violin skills - some of the compositions on this CD, although still refreshing, are around a decade old...!

But if this is your first introduction to Vanessa-Mae, this is the CD you should get.

If you like a classic music MUST have this CD.......2007-05-31

my review is short, because this CD is so good and i enjoy listening to it almost every day. By the way if you looking for a CD that your child would enjoy, this is one of those CD's

Can't rate it cause I don't have it!.......2007-05-31

You need to pay better attention to where an item gets sent when it is purchased. If you had looked you would have seen that this item did NOT get sent to my mailing address, and therefore I cannot review it because I don't have it!!!!

Great music.......2007-05-12

Vanessa-Mae music gives me energy. She plays the violin like nobody else can. If I need an attitude pick me up I play 'The Best of Vanessa-Mae'

Excellent Value.......2007-06-08

This 2-disc CD from Seal is wonderful. I love having the choice between orchestrated and acoustic selections. I didn't know too much about Seal until I heard his Kiss From a Rose song. I was hooked. I bought the CD and suprise, I recognized every song on it! I just never knew who performed them until I bought the CD. If you're a Seal fan, you need this CD.

Good inspirational listening.......2007-03-08

If you like Seal's music, this is a definite "must have." I purchased it, because I didn't want all of his individual albums, yet wanted to be able to listen to his greatest hits and follow along. It's one of those CDs you pop in the car when you've had a stressful day, and after listening to a few songs, you are reenergized, revitalized, and uplifted.

Golden Collection.......2006-02-23

This is a great collection of his greatest hits. I have found that I enjoy listening to this album all the time. I hope you enjoy it like I do.

Frustrating.......2005-09-10

Best of albums are almost always a way for a record company to earn some quick bucks because the cost of producing them is practically nothing. In this case Warner Brothers adds a 2nd disk with new material, but for the price of a 2nd albumn. If you're a Seal fan you already have most of disk 1 so you'e paying a steep premium for everything else. That said, the 2nd disk is what is most disappointing. Yes, it's new versions of some great Seal songs and if you're a Seal fan you'll want them, but after comparing it to the truly accoustic Seal: The Accoustic Session, these versions seem barely "accoustic" at all. As has been the problem with some of Seal's later work, overproduction buries his talent in blanket of technically well-done, but marginally meaningful sound. What made Seal popular and famous is the passion and emotion of his voice. That should be front and center in an "accoustic" album. For whatever reasons Trevor Horn keeps complicating what should be simple and powerful.
At least get the version with the DVD audio. As I said, this release is technically well done and that's the best way to appreciate it.

Good Collection.......2005-08-21

If you're into Seal, I'd recommend this collection to ya'. It's well rounded and an easy listen.
