Artist: Various Artists
Label: Essex
Original Release Date: 1/1/1994
Date: 8/26/2009

I already had a lot of these songs, but I wanted to hear the ones I didn't have. There's a lot of bubblegum on this, but there are several other styles also. It's an interesting mix of music.

Felix was in the Rascals, but this sounds more like vintage Steve Winwood. Produced by Don Was.

2011 is the year that Kraak & Smaak will take centre stage with the release of their third studio album. The setup single from the record - Dynamite - has already become the most added electronic record at American college radio and the band have debuted their new live show at the Eurosonic Festival to a rapturous response ahead of a mad summer of touring. Their new album Electric Hustle is sure to satisfy their growing army of fans and win over new converts.

Excellent... I enjoyed this even more than I thought I would!

Review Date: 3/10/2010

This was disappointing to me. This band really doesn't need a two-cd retrospective. There is a single disc comp which is very skimpy, but there is way too much filler on this set.

this is a terrific cd. I highly recommend it to anybody who is a fan of Lucinda Williams. Now, if I could only get my hands on her "Filth & Fire" cd!

there are some great sophisticated pop songs on this cd, including three that were co-written with Paul McCartney.

Review Date: 3/15/2007

try if you like Superchunk, Built To Spill, Modest Mouse

Nicole Atkins has a big voice - think kd lang or Neko Case - but she uses her voice tastefully. She doesn't over-emote, like Melissa Ethridge, for example. Her songs and arrangements remind me of some of Roy Orbison's big productions. You should check this out now!

Jesse Harris is the male member of this duo. he has since been a solo artist. he wrote the big Norah Jones hit. try this if you like Norah Jones or Rickie Lee Jones.

Polly is a pretty blonde-haired blue-eyed Brit who seems to suffer from low self-esteem. She reminds me a little of Alanis Morrissette. I like this cd a lot, but don't expect it to cheer you up.

this is hilarious. they've mashed up old speed racer sound clips with techno music. on the hardcore remix, it sounds like speed and trixie are having sex.

I love a lot of Bjork's music, but this is a pretty difficult album to love. It's a very adventurous collection of songs.
