Electro
It bills itself as the definitive electro/hip-hop collection but over forty-eight tracks, it feels more of a sketch than all you'd ever want...		Posted by Eamonn McCusker

Goldie Lookin' Chain
Like The Wurzels but for rap and with less style than Morris Minor and the Majors, take it as read that GLC will not be what people remember of Wales....		Posted by Eamonn McCusker

A reggae album of Bob Dylan covers isn't as strange as it might sound and given that there have been about four of the things before this, it's clear ...		Posted by Eamonn McCusker

As bratty and blissfully pop an album as we've been waiting for Ash to deliver since 1977, which includes the single Kim Wilde...		Posted by Eamonn McCusker

Kasabian
It's got success tagged to it like Eeyore has his tail but that seems to be all that matters to Kasabian. It'll give them column inches in The Mirror ...		Posted by Eamonn McCusker

Lloyd Banks
No, I hadn't heard of him either but he's one of the 'other two' from G-Unit so with 50 Cent's blessing, we get solo Lloyd Banks. Joy...		Posted by Eamonn McCusker
