Isabliss

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: Amethystium

Release Date June 17, 2008
Nearly four years passed between Amethystium's last album "Evermind" and the release of Ramsfjord's latest release "Isabliss". Though it was certainly a while between including the release of a retrospective "Emblem", "Isabliss" is a marvelous evolution of sound from the past while maintaining much of the spirit of the old. "Isabliss" is comparison has a much more of a monochromic feel, like having a much grayer, more wintry atmosphere. Even some of the songs have a different melodic structure. The album cover artwork perfectly portrays the mood of the album in my opinion: Dark, gray, yet also entrancing and mesmerizing.

Some of the songs like "Treasure", "Anthemossa", and "Silken Twine" are ideal tributes to the atmospherics ... Read More:

Go: The Very Best of Moby

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: Moby

Release Date October 24, 2006
Meh, I don't like fashion show catwalk music. And the bonus disc is just full of the hypey-techno-push dance tunes, a genre I really, really don't like.

There are several cuts I do like a lot on here, but wish I'd have got -18- instead.

Robyn

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: Robyn

Release Date April 29, 2008
Now don't get me wrong, I like this album; it's got some really good songs, but I can't help but feel there's a certain arrogance in her music. The main problem I have with the album as a whole is the attempt at giving us a diverse sounding album. We're given such good songs like "Bum Like You" and "Every Heart Beat." They're great, but then they're canceled out by Robyn's attempt at "rapping" in songs like "Konichiwa Bitches" and "Cobrastyle." Listening to her attempt at putting on an American rap style voice to deliver such childish lyrics, make me bow my head in shame.

This isn't right and really destroys what could have been a 5 star album for me. It saddens me to give it 4 but there you go. If you like Robyn's past work, then I ... Read More:

Seventh Tree (Deluxe Edition)

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: Goldfrapp

Release Date February 26, 2008
British electronica duo Goldfrapp (named after singer and frontwoman Alison Goldfrapp) have been slowly gaining in popularity since the beginning of the millennium and their debut album Felt Mountain. Fusing Goldfrapp's talented vocals with instrumentalist Will Gregory's dance-punk synthesizers and array of sounds, Goldfrapp has become a fixture on the European club scene. It's surprising, then, that their latest album, Seventh Tree, takes such a divergent musical route.

It takes about six and a half minutes before a casual listener might realize their listening to an electronica outfit, as a drum machine explodes onto the scene halfway through "Little Bird." Whereas previous albums focused on Gregory's innovative beats and textures, Seventh ... Read More:

Discography: The Complete Singles Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: Pet Shop Boys

Release Date November 05, 1991
Functioning exactly as its title promises, "Discography" covers the singles released by The Pet Shop Boys in the span from 1985's "West End Girls" to 1991's "Was It Worth It." While in England, they ran up a string of hits worthy of superstar status, in the US, their run of chart luck ended with 1988's "Domino Dancing" (from Introspective). Perhaps it was their very dry British sensibilities, maybe it was homo-phobia, but listening to this set from start to finish really does make you wonder why these great singles failed to find a home on American Radio.

Granted, the early singles are the epitome of what made new-wave radio in the 80's a blast to listen to, and "What Have I Done To Deserve This" is both a classic song AND resurrected the late Dusty Springfield's ... Read More:

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 25, 1990
Oh my gosh, my sister had the cassette of this back in the day & we listened to it NON-STOP. We knew every single word to every single song and, of course, we still do.

I hadn't listened to this in FOREVER until a couple years ago when I came across the cd & bought it.

What good memories! What GREAT songs!! Does it get any better than this?! Talk about taking you back to a time & place!

I LOVE this cd! I guarantee my sister has it now, too. It's probably in her car right now. :)

If you had this on cassette, get it on cd.

Ray of Light

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: Madonna

Release Date March 03, 1998
Forever a fan. I still have the "Ray of Light" cassette tape I bought in 98', along with the ROL CD and of course a few single remixes from this album. Timeless and classic. Every single song on this CD stands out on its own merit and artistic value. Each song blends and molds perfectly for what I consider to be her greatest masterpiece so far.

For ten years now I have been listening to this CD and not once have I got bored or tired of it. Each play is like hearing it for the first time and falling in love with it all over again. The videos that accompanied the songs from this album only highlight how "full on" in harmony she was for this entire project. Everything was as it should be. And it glowed radiantly, still does.

With the release of her latest album, ... Read More:

Michael Jackson: Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
starring: Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson

Release Date July 26, 2005
Michael Jackson is amazing at everything he does. The Dangerous Tour showcases some of his best moves with songs like Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean, and Jam. The vocals and melodies of songs such as Human Nature, Heal The World, and Man In The Mirror are captivating.

DVD quality audio and video, this DVD is worth the money you have. The only thing that would have made this better if they had some extras. Perhaps some behind the scenes stuff or something.

The Swell Season Live From The Artists Den

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
starring: Swell Season

Release Date April 15, 2008
This is a great concert DVD. I own MANY, and this is my 2nd favorite only after Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City... (doesn't get any better than that for me).

If you love acoustic music a la Damien Rice, or loved the music from the movie "Once" but don't want to watch the whole thing again just for the songs (as was my case), then get THIS CONCERT! Worth every penny.
