Serenade 3 Review

Let me just say that I already had the opportunity to listen to this cd and it's better than I expected it to be. The people at Classified Records have put together a cd that will no doubt get you in a lovey-dovey mood. The new song "When You Love Someone" by Drop N Harmony and Premiere is very pretty and since it's the first track it automatically sets a romantic mood. I was happy to see that Classified put some new artists on this volume of Serenade, at least artists I haven't been exposed to, such as Deland and Kathy Tardeo (among others). There are so many great songs on this Cd that you have to get it, besides that if you liked the last two volumes of Serenade, then you'll love this one. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was because there were a couple of songs (out of the 17 total) that weren't quite my flava, and the Pinay song they put "Dim The Lights" was on Pinay's first cd and I was hoping they'd put a new song by Pinay. But nevertheless, this cd exceded all my expectations and you should definitely give it a listen and buy it. And if you haven't, you might want to pick-up the new Kai cd, The Promise, and Drop N Harmony's debut cd. They are both worth the money.

Bond Born Review

This special edition of the superb classically influnced quartet's debut album is better than the original. Unlike its predecessor released in countries including the UK, France, Germany and the US, this special Asian Edition is full of extras including songs like Wintersun and Viva!
For someone new to the most sucessful string quartet in the world, this is the perfect CD. Not only are you exposed to the wonderful music Bond has created, but a bonus CD is included, featuring three music videos and an interview plus remixes of Viva! and Korobushka, as performed at the Royal Albert Hall for the Classical Brit Awards. Although the CD is in VCD format, it can usually be played in most US DVD players or on a computer.
Bond's music is a unique blend of classical music fused with world influences, dance, folk, and contemporary music. These four girls put a modern twist to classical music. Bond's sound welcomes new listeners to classical music, giving these listeners a new ear to listen to other classical artists. Songs like Victory and Quixote will have you dancing non-stop and mellow tracks like Hymn and Oceanic will help you relax after a hard day. With the mix of songs on this album, there's something for everyone; folk tunes like Alexander the Great and Korobushka, and true classical-crossover songs like Wintersun and Duel. There's even an excellent cover of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.
Overall, this album gets 5 stars for its eclectic sound and open diversity to different styles of music. It's hard to catagorize their music so we're just gonna call it Bond Music. Bond's sophomore release, Shine is an excellent continuation to Bond's music, expanding the classical-crossover style Bond is so famous for!

Good vocals. Good songs. A CD that I'm proud to have and would not hesitate to recommend to my friends (Filipino or otherwise). More power to Pinay! Can't wait for your next one!

Imagine a hit song, then punch out 9 different versions.....all of which are amazing. From old-school sound, to planet beats, to techno, it's all on this maxi single. Like Freestyle but haven't heard of this song or artist, then pick it up, you won't be sorry.

The first time I heard them this group was at a Variety Show from PACE at San Francisco State. The group got the whole audience on their feet (and that was just a couple of songs). The album is very good. It's a CD that I keep listening too. I just want to know what ever happened to the group?

Magik 3: Far From Earth Review

DJ Tiesto keeps on topping himself. Not only do I enjoy his own music, but I almost enjoy his remixing even more. This album is a fantastic example of his thouroughly perfect mixing. I heard the original version of most of these songs quite a while ago. Then I picked up Magik Vol. 3: Far From Earth and was completely blown away! All I did was pop in the cd and listened to the whole thing non-stop. Absolutely fabulous! Very shortly after the first song began, I turned the lights off, laid on the floor, and let my eyes roll back into my head; that is what good trance is supposed to do to you. I have nothing bad to say about this album. I recommend anyone and everyone to pick up this cd. Whether you're a trance-lover or not, I guarantee you'll love this cd!!!

Adagio Review

I discovered Sweetbox by accident a couple of days ago. I was browsing an mp3 download site and saw this album. I had never heard of Sweetbox before in my life but I thought I'd download a song and see how I liked it. I'm really glad I did. I loved it and now I own the album. I have over 300 cds and this is definitely in my top 10. It hasn't left my cd player since the day I got it. And there isn't a song on this album that I don't like....which is very rare. My favorite songs on this cd are 'Liberty' 'Sorry' and 'Lacrimosa'. I have played these 3 songs over and over and over. I love how there are so many different influences in each song. There is pop, rap, rock, gothic, R&B and more. Jade has a beautiful voice and it's also very powerful. And I love the lyrics to all these songs and I can relate to so many of them...some are almost like they were written just for me. If you don't own this album that is a crime and you are really really missing out because this is one of the best albums I have ever heard. You won't understand until you hear it for yourself so go get it!! I can't say enough about this amazing album....so I will end this review and go listen to it for the millionth time!!
