Smart move, Groove Armada. Following the lackluster Lovebox with The Best Of gives dance music fans a chance to reassess the band and realize that it has plenty to offer past that dull album and signature tune "I See You Baby" (included here in its best-known Fatboy Slim mix). Groove Armada are nothing if not incredibly diverse music fans who can groove, write catchy tunes, and know all the right people. Besides Fatboy's appearance, Neneh Cherry, Richie Havens, Nappy Roots, and pedal steel guitarist B.J. Cole are some of the perfectly picked folks who contribute. They're all purposeful additions to the band's sprawling sound, one that couples house music and downtempo's coolness with a pinch of jam band hippie exuberance. Basically a no-frills, right-off-the-albums collection, The Best Of has a near-perfect track selection, with too many hits up-front being the only head-scratcher (solved by a simple hit of the "shuffle" button). For newcomers, The Best Of proves that the band is so much more than its big hit and one of the smarter acts working in the realm of poppy house. For longtime fans, it makes the band's highlights easy to carry, cleans Lovebox's stale aftertaste from the palette, and whets the appetite for whatever is next. ~ David Jeffries

As expected another fantastic cd by GA. I saw them live in Sydney, Australia and the only thing missing from this album is Krafty Kuts remix of Superstylin'. A must for any dance music lover.

Thievery Corporation Mirror Conspiracy CD  (2000)

Best Of songs
CD $12.49  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Thievery Corporation's second album strengthens the duo's reputation as masters of downtempo, internationally influenced beats. Borrowing from bossa nova, dub reggae, French torch songs, Italian movie soundtracks, and jazz, THE MIRROR CONSPIRACY is a sophisticated, pleasurable listen. The album is sequenced beautifully, with sexy, world-weary tracks such as "Samba Tranquille" floating into the downtempo torch stylings of "Shadows of Ourselves." The album's international flavor comes from places as diverse as Jamaica, ("Focus on Sight" featuring I-See on vocals), Paris' Arab quarter ("Le Monde"), and opium dens and teahouses ("Indra," "Lebanese Blonde"). Rob Hilton and Eric Garza, the men behind Thievery Corporation, also have active remix and DJ careers. They're co-owners of Washington D.C.'s 18th St. Lounge, a club where the Thievery Corporation sound gets tested and exercised at each evening's DJ sets. Their remix album ABDUCTIONS AND RECONSTRUCTIONS is another excellent example of their masterful production work. Special ...

Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society CD  (1968) (Import) England; Remastered; United Kingdom

Best Of album
CD $25.59  4.6 stars Definitive Album
Contains original 15-track mono album as well as 12-track stereo version. It's easy to imagine the confusion with which this manifesto for the defense of the status quo was received on its release in 1968. The world was in turmoil and the pose of the Street Fighting Man, rebellious and politically aware, was far sexier than the quaint homebody image the Kinks present here. The title track finds Ray Davies proudly declaring himself a preservationist of custard pies, vaudeville, and such comic book characters as Desperate Dan. However, these slices of suburban life have weathered a lot better than most of their contemporaries. The Kinks were working in their own homey little world, as evidenced by songs such as the album's ...

Porcupine Tree Deadwing CD  (2005)

Best Of music CDs
CD $10.59  4.4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album (MP3 Available for Download)
Considering their cinematic scope, it's fitting that the songs on DEADWING were actually inspired by a film script written by Porcupine Tree mastermind Steven Wilson. Not that this should come as any surprise to longtime fans who know the UK act's reputation for churning out epic progressive rock so sonically descriptive that it's practically visual. Porcupine Tree creates works with complex structures that do not alienate or obscure the songs themselves, pieces that are dark and psychedelic without being sinister. On the 12-minute opening title track, weighty guitar riffs and spacious synths immediately recall Nine Inch Nails, but swooping melodic ...

Starting Over
Ronnie Bowman Starting Over CD  (2002)

Best Of music CDs
CD $12.39  5 stars Audio Samples (MP3 Available for Download)
Between the albums he recorded with the Lonesome River Band and his three IBMA awards for male vocalist of the year, Ronnie Bowman has developed quite a reputation. Starting Over, his first solo effort after leaving the Lonesome River Band, will only add to his standing. The title is meant to evoke new beginnings, though many of the songs deal with love gone wrong for one reason or another. The singer tries to keep believing that a relationship will last in "What She Didn't Say," while the title track speaks of the need to start over even though the hurt remains. It's easy to draw a connection between these sad songs that Bowman has chosen and his then-recent divorce. The driven "Lonely Quit Knockin' on My Door" paints a portrait of a forlorn man, while "Stone Cold Blue" tells the tale of a no-good woman out running 'round. Although the subject matter may seem a bit of a downer, the accompaniment keeps one's spirits afloat. One of the advantages of recording for Sugar Hill is the number of high-profile musicians who kindly lend their talents to a labelmate's album. Mandolinist ...
