Reviews of: Radio 1's Live Lounge - Volume 3by Various Artists
Product Description Say what you like about BBC Radio 1, its DJs or its playlists, they’re definitely getting one thing right through their commitment to live music--particularly with regards to the often quirky fruits that tumble forth from its Live Lounge. Volume 3 of the double CD collections from these sessions arrives packed with more than enough in the way of gems to offset the few inevitable run-of-the-mill single performances. Those justifying the format when modifying their own tracks include Kasabian working "Sympathy for the Devil" into "LSF", Duffy bringing some grit to a stripped down "Mercy", absent as she’s trotted it out endlessly elsewhere, and a bare, emotional "Daddy’s Gone" from Glasvegas. The real value of the set though is found in amongst Girls Aloud’s sensitive version of "With Every Heartbeat" (originally by Robyn), Ida Maria’s feisty "Sweet About Me" (Gabriella Cilmi), REM sketching "Munich" (Editors) out with mandolin refinement, Kate Nash absolutely owning a cute, giddy "Fluorescent Adolescent" (Arctic Monkeys), Goldfrapp’s haunting "It’s Not Over Yet" (Grace--made famous again by Klaxons), Santogold’s paranoid and chilling take on "Hometown Glory" (Adele) and Bat for Lashes’ pulsing, minimalist "Sweet Dreams" (Eurhythmics). If you’re looking for one single convincing reason to own this though, look no further than Dizzee Rascal’s bench-press solid, somersault swaggering, air-punching attitude-laden re-jigging of the Ting Tings’ "That’s Not My Name". It’s enough to justify the licence fee. --James Berry Reviews WELL DONE "INDIGOSTARFISH" Just received this album today from "Indigostarfish" & just wanted to say how pleased I am with the quality of it, the album is as advertised "BRAND NEW" the case is immaculate and the cd is in perfect condition Thanks A*********** 2008-12-03 Another Classic Live Lounge Amazon don't let you review them, so here is the best place for me to review them. When buying from Amazon, you are actually buying this from a Jersey Company "Indigostarfish". This album (labeled NEW) was not not plastic wrapped (as new discs should be) and the case was scratched and well used. The CDs themselves were in good condition. As of the music itself, this is a good album worthy of 4 stars. (3stars from Amazon) If you liked the other two live lounges, you must buy this. And, alternatively, if you like this, buy the other two albums. 2008-11-22 Woohoo! Yes I do indeed love it! Although I have only listened to the first two tracks as the cd is in the car and only had a long enough journey to listen o the 1st two tracks but already I love them! Another great hit Radio 1 and of course I do bow down the the live lounge and its greatness! Legend! 2008-11-21 Get it! Lets be honest... The only song anyone really wants on this album is Paramore's cover of "loves not a competition..." Great album anywhoo 2008-11-17 They call me rudeboy, they call me blad... As always, the live lounge is a mixture of artists doing covers and their own songs. The best tracks on this year's cds are Dizzee Rascal doing the Ting Tings 'thats not my name' and the Script doing 'lose yourself'. Scouting for Girls kill their own song, and some covers are too close to the original song to really warrant doing it, if you know what i mean, but most tracks are great, and a select few are amazingly good. get this album. 2008-11-09 |
