What I'm Listening to: Vol. 10

• 2 Many DJs Series: Volume 2 © 2002
Comments: I'm normally not big on "continuous mix" CDs, but this one was so well done and contained such an eclectic choice in music, ranging from the 70's to present day, I loved this CD. So much so that I bought the rest of the series on eBay!
• Requiem For a Dream Remixed © 2002
Comments: LOVE this soundtrack. I've been wanting it ever since I heard one of the tracks in a store years ago. I think it's very well done and it met/exceeded all my expectations. The remixes maintain the same disjointed, cool, dark, disturbing feel of the film without getting bogged down in trying too hard to be remixes. Excellent.

Comments: This 2 CD set is excellent. I knew after listening to just a few tracks that I wanted it. It hasn't let me down. Recommended!
• Gladiator Movie Soundtrack © 1992
• Under the Influence of Giants © 2006
Comments: This has got to be the best, most underrated album I have bought all year. I initially bought it for the single Mama's Room, plus the fact that I bought it at Best Buy and their particular version included a second disc with a bonus REMIX of said song by Richard Vission. It's hard to pinpoint the group's sound, but I agree with one reviewer that described them as a hybrid of The Bee Gees, Elton John, Madonna, Earth, Wind & Fire and other 70's and 80's favorites. Great, great album through and through.

• Blossom Dearie © 1989
Comments: I LOVE this album. I've been wanting this CD for ages, but it never seems to stay in stock too long anywhere online and is virtually impossible to find in stores. Upon visiting our local legend store Forever Young Records, I finally tracked down a copy! Why I didn't think to check there sooner, I don't know. The CD is excellent. One of those CDs I like to put on in the fall and let play all the way through. It's all golden. Highly Recommended!

Comments: My friend made this CD-R for me from the original LP soundtrack, since it's not available otherwise. It's one of my favorite movies and the soundtrack conjures up good memories. That Nathan, what a gem.
• Remixed 80's ©
Comments: I think I may have purchased a possible audio turd with this one. Like an idiot, I was sucked in by the whole "80's Remixed" goodness...it was only AFTER I placed my order that I read the reviews. *sigh* Apparently none of the songs are performed by the original artists (not always a bad thing, but rarely a good thing either). We'll see.
