Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Vikter Duplaix is a phenomenon. With futuristic visions of sound and a sense for musical traditions, the producer, singer and DJ from Philadelphia is bridging gaps like none other. Duplaix musically blends an optimism for the future with the wisdom of the past. He mixes this together into any kind of groove music, handling his heavy task relaxed, laid back - the easy way. No doubt, the future belongs to Vikter Duplaix.
With his new collection Singles - Prelude to the Future, Vikter Duplaix presents obscure b-sides, remixes and rarities that represent a unique sound. Vikter Duplaix strolls between luscious pop, hot R&B, elegant chill out sounds and a never ending groove. His heart beats a breakbeat rhythm: nested, syncopated, complex but with the simplicity of the Afro American tradition, which Duplaix, as a percussionist has inhaled deeply.
The sound of Vikter Duplaix is of flesh and blood. "Sensuality" is the magic word: While his rhythmic patterns are abstract, there is no cyborg dancing here as is fashionable amongst the standardised industrially produced R&B. When the future sounds like Vikter Duplaix, there's a reason to dance into the tomorrow.

If John Mayer has ants in his pants--and, given his many projects and the amount of music he releases in any given year, it appears that he does--his fans aren't complaining. Nor should they be. The Village Sessions, a six-song EP that retools favorites from Mayer's highly regarded Continuum disc, is mostly a way to feel further connected to him; the hurt comes through on "In Repair" both vocally and via expressive acoustic guitar work, making the Continuum version sound clipped by comparison, and the kicked-back version of "Good Love Is on the Way" (the one song here not from Continuum, but from Try!, a 2005 live disc) dispenses with angst in favor of a more liquid groove. Overall, it's a study in intimacy and focus--for Mayer, there seems to be a certain magic within the four walls of L.A.'s Village Recorder, where he laid down these tracks. Then again, maybe not: Prolific as he is, Mayer is no wand-waver. His reputation for musical pureness proceeds him, and The Village Sessions is one more testament to it. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:
The Village Sessions.......2007-07-13
Excellent, John Mayer at his best in acoustic. The songs, most of which are from Continuum are rich and very different in acoustic. Some are almost unrecognizable like they are being played on a different instrument altogether. Very good music from a John Mayer fan.
Slow dancing in a burning room.......2007-06-06
this is a must have for JM fans I'm listening to it right now. I did like "Slow dancing in a burning room" from Continum but this version for some resaon blows it out of the water I can't get enough of this song!!!
Nice to see talent in today's music scene.......2007-05-24
I must admit that when John first appeared with album # 1 a few years back I said to myself "here we go again, another pretty boy with no musical substance". Since then, I have been proven wrong and become a fan. In addition, I must applaud him for being so ambitious. He's released alot of music and covered alot of ground in 5 years. Although I wasn't crazy about the trio record (he ain't Hendrix or SRV even though he is a huge fan of both), the Continuum album really brought me around. Most of the songs are on the mellow side but still are great! This EP contains acoustic stripped down versions of some of those songs and is priced well so I would advise anyone who likes his current album to pick this up as a companion piece.
The Village Mayor.......2007-05-16
There is an apparent transition from the old John Mayer to the new artist that he is becoming. There are a couple of songs that definitely focus on his relationships, but there are also a couple that focus more on his world view and his stance on the current political situation. All of this is wrapped up in his solid musical skills. Ben Harper even makes a guest appearance on these recordings, making this a true underground masterpiece.
Good John Mayer.......2007-05-12
I am not particularly a fan of the live recordings. The people screaming in the background accompanied with hard to hear music is not something I like to subscribe to, but this CD is better than the average live recording. I don't know if it is because it is from a smaller venue or what, but Village Sessions really shines through. Being an acoustic guitar fan, it is nice to hear some of my favorite newer Mayer songs in the acoustic format on this disc.
I liked this CD better than As/Is just because the quality was better (in my opinion.) If you are a John Mayer fan this is a must have, especially for the price!

Still as good as when they were young.......2007-07-07
I got to see them June 15th 2007 at the Saratoga Winery. They were a blast!!! You thought it was yesterday. They still got it, they still sound as good. They took "Momma Told Me Not To Come" and turned it into a Rap for fun, and the way they did it, you would have thought it had alwasy been sung that way.
I found myself remembering the words to most of the songs, that I thought I had forgotten. You don't forget, the words are just tucked away. They had a couple of new band members but the rest were the good ol' guys we remember. If you don't get to see them, this CD will be the next best thing. You will really enjoy listening to the songs on this CD.
After buying this, go check out "ToTo". They were the opening Band for Three Dog Night!!!

I REALLY ENJOY THIS CD. EVERYTHING IS ON THIS. ANY FAN OF THREE DOG NIGHT WILL JUST LOVE HAVING THIS. THE SOUND IS GREAT AND IT'S LIKE BEING THERE AGAIN.

Complete waste of time and $$$.......2007-07-13
For ever "reunion", there is a motive, money. And Billy Corgan the (in name only) Smashing Pumpkins have demonstrated the extreme in alienating their fans and profiting for themselves. Not only are both these tracks readily available (depending on where you purchased one of the seven (yes seven) different releases of Zeitgeist, they place none other than Paris hilton on the cover of their single. Let's give the fans a little credit....for a "band" (or...The BIlly Corgan Project)who always tried to be unique, it seems a desperate marketing attempt to get in touch with "new" fans that are just reaching the college age.
After the commercial failures of Zwan & his Adore-like solo album, Mr. Corgan learned that marketing is mearly the name yyou put out, and with only 2 of the original four pumpkins (Jimmy Chamberlain worked on Zwan & guest spotted on the Solo album...disqualifying this Pumpkins "reunion")
this is just an attempt to cash in on a new generation of fans, whilst keeping Warner Bros. happy.
As for the single....completely avoid....the only good song on Zeitgeist is the 10 minute epic United States...which sounds like it would have fit on MCIS-Adore or even Machina
Mmm...skip...mmm...skip.......2007-07-13
First of all, what is that skank doing on the cover of an SM record? Hasn't the world given her enough press already? Billy WTF?!?!? Anyway now for the music, Two bland tracks without even a redeeming b-side. I'll pass.

Whittling down the back catalog of one of the most popular and respected bands of the last quarter-century to a single-disc collection is bound to inspire argument and dissent from the fans and faithful over what is included--and all that gets left behind--and U2's 26-year career is as celebrated and beloved as any band of their generation. U218 Singles doesn't try to please everyone, wisely sticking to the acknowledged high points (and there are many) between 1983's War and 2004's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Nitpickers may quibble that the collection leans too heavily on the band's most popular albums and skips the (admirable if less anthemic) techno-pop tangents of Zooropa and Pop and the earnest energy of the Boy/October years, but the musical majesty accumulated here testifies to the undeniable power and emotion U2 can muster in a four-minute pop song. Two new Rick Rubin-produced tracks don't break new ground for the band, but both would fit snugly somewhere in the U2 canon--"Window in the Skies" is pure late-period arena rock with a typically towering falsetto chorus, while Green Day helps inject some October-era urgency into "The Saints Are Coming". The sum of these 18 tracks is a first-rate primer, perfect for that 10-year-old niece or nephew who thinks U2's big break was that iPod commercial. --Ben Heege
Album Description
U218 Singles is the first single-disc collection - including 16 of their best-known songs. Also included are two brand-new tracks recorded with producer Rick Rubin at Abbey Road Studios in London: "The Saints Are Coming" (with Green Day) and "Window in the Skies."
Customer Reviews:
I think it's a great compilation.......2007-07-09
I've been a U2 fan for years, but not enough of a fan to collect all their stuff, so I've been waiting for a hits CD like this one to come out for a while now.
Very nice job. Quite complete.
A pretty decent compilation for casual fans.......2007-06-30
I can honestly say that I am not a big fan of U2. I fail to see the hoopla over one of the most overrated bands in the past two decades. I will admit that the band has put out some good songs over the years. J218 is perfect for casual listeners of U2 like myself. All of my favorite U2 songs are from the 1980s. Songs like "Without or Without You" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" still sounds amazingly fresh and never dated. I can never get tired of listening to the band's songs from the '80s. The '90s and'00s is another story. The only songs I did like from the past decade is "One", "Walk On" and "Stuck in a Moment". Everything else was rubbish for me. I make no apologies when I say that I hated the song the band did with Green Day "The Saints Are Coming". What a horrid track. I'm glad I didn't pay anything for this cd which contains too much filler songs for my liking.
DON'T HATE U2.......2007-06-19
I always seem to do it. I'll be sitting somewhere and this band comes on the radio, and I say "Man, I hate U2!" and everytime, without fail someone is offended. If it's one person, they'll think I said Hate-you-too...and they'll say "I never said I hated you!" If it's two people they'll think I said Hate-you-two.. and you can guess what happens next. If it's more than that then they realize I'm talking about the band, and they say.. "Wally. They're not THAT bad."
So I stopped saying that I hate U2. Even though, I sort of do.
This has nothing to do with my review for this album, nor the fact that I gave it a cruddy rating. So stop being so pompous U2 fans. Even if I didn't hate U2, this album would still be a waste of my time and money.
Three songs that I do like, and not one of them appear here.. NUMB, STARING AT THE SUN, and one of the ones from the early eighties that wasn't so obnoxious... where are they? Forgotten in favor of VERTIGO? Do you really like that song?
And don't get me wrong, but isn't BEAUTIFUL DAY the WORST of them all? I know it gets played 1000 times more a day on every radio station than all the other U2 songs that get played a 1000 times a day, but that doesn't make it worthy. Turn on your radio right now, spin the dial twice and I'll bet you the song will be on. Free. Why bother?
The rest is pretty much JOSHUA TREE, WAR and a unearthed rarity from here and there. MYSTERIOUS WAYS is ok, but the rest is filler in order to span the whole career, where it probably should have been just 80's tracks... NUMB, SUN, maybe one or two more from ACHTUNG BABY and nothing later than 1998, because its all been garbage after that.
IMHO.
U2 Marketing Blunder.......2007-06-19
I've been an avid U2 goer for decades, seen them live in concert 3 times & bought a myriad of their CDs over said time. When I 1st heard of this latest greatest from them, I was excited to think that I could carry just ONE CD vs. the usual 3, in order to have all of my favorites on hand @ the same time. HOWEVER, my excitement was short-lived!
I don't know if the marketing team for this group could actually be so ignorant or if they just couldn't bother rewarding their long-time die-hard fans with a TRULY Best of Hits Collection! So, now on to the crux of my plight... In lieu of tracks 8, 15, 16, 17 & 18, they should have at the very least included "I Will Follow" & "Angel Of Harlem"! Others, such as "Even Better Than The Real Thing" & "Zooropa" would have been bonuses!
In FACT, the particular song line up on this CD has cost it countless sales, for the simple absence of some of its timeless gems being replaced with some NO name of songs!
U218 Singles.......2007-06-09
U218 Singles~ U2 is a awesome greatest hits and if one simply goes on the music it would have easily attained 5 stars. Bono is an annoying person with a severe case hubris and he sticks his nose in issues that he basically has no idea what he is talking about. Which is a shame since if he just stuck to the music he would have realized that one should never ever mix politics and music. Political music is a sorry excuse for true music which is good enough in itself. The book-let is alright but nothing all that great. The cover photo is atrocious and Bono has a hideous haircut and wears a shirt that looks like he dressed in the dark. Even so this is a great compilation of hits and one would wish that the band would just stick to their music since this is truly sublime, with amazing lyrics, astounding production value and Bonos stupendous vocals.

Customer Reviews:
Repeated lyrics four times in a row keeps from perfection!.......2007-07-09
"Hey Mr. DJ, Can You Turn the Music Up?" (or whatever the song is called--we hardly hear song titles anymore because radio stations want us to visit their websites for what is trivial information to them--giving them more time to talk with listeners about things no one really cares about...give us the music and news updates...cut back on commercials) is a horrible song that basically repeats the same lyrics a million times in a row.
"S.O.S." has better lyrics, but the music sounds the same as "Hey Mr. DJ..."
"Unfaithful" annoys the hell out of me.
This brings us to "Umbrella." I have heard several people say this song grows on you--I agree. Our major complaints are that there is no need to repeat "...under my umbrella--ella, ella, ella--ay, ay, ay..." four times in a row, and it is pronounced "um-brel-la," not "um-ba-rel-la."
Otherwise, the song is great. I especially like the remix with Chris Brown's "Cinderella."
I am giving this song extra credit because it has been a positive influence on me--I even developed new lyrics for the song...while I did not write them down, the repeated lines aspect got stuck in my head...UGH!
Note: I do not know if it is intentional or accidental, but one line (if you have a good ear) sounds more suggestive than necessary.
ANOTHER HIT!!! Keep it UP!!!.......2007-06-11
Rihanna came with another summer anthem. 'umbrella' a great track over all... there are not many artist that have more than one hit.... rihanna can say that. she has had a hit for the past 3 summers and has no sign in slowin down.
Jay-Z did not take over the track like he alwayz tries to do... then rihanna comes with the hotness.. her voice may not b the strongest voice in music but she does kno how to use it and does songs that suit her...
the chorus is timeless "U can stand under my umbrella ella ella ey ey ey"... its the way she is singing it that makes it stick in your head.
the 'umbrella' video is so breathe takin... the silver body paint sold me....
'pon de replay", "SOS', 'unfaitful', now "umbrella".... keep the hits comin... ill b listenin
THE CITY OF SAC THANKS YOU..............2007-06-06

Rained Out.......2007-06-03
There are times where a good artist can make a song that can be a dissapointment, and there are those artists who've made dissapointing songs altogether. Rihanna has been unfortunately one of them. Her latest single, Umbrella from her upcoming record A Good Girl Gone Bad tries to place her into a more Hip Hop Soul style that tries to capture what Beyonce and Ciara have brought to the public. Sadly, Rihanna misses out from that image, and the song doesn't seem to help either. Especially, after the last few singles like the depressing Unfaithful, didn't help her sales. All in all, I think that she needs to find better material for herself, because it is going to be a stormy career left.

Gorgeous Divas.......2007-07-05
This CD is absolutely gorgeous - it's a must have for everyone who enjoys music that makes the soul happy and eases the mind.
Same old, same old.......2007-05-12
Though the beautiful voice of Sarah Brightman is still a wonder, the songs are repetitive of all her earlier works. I suggest getting Time To Say Goodbye and her Classics albums. Save your money on this latest one.

Gorgeous Voice.......2007-05-07
What a beautiful voice. We are thoroughly enjoying her album - particularly the selections from Phantom.
loyal sarah fan and love it!!!!.......2007-04-26
i have loved sarah brightman for a long time now and I just love this album. True..there isn't anything new on it, but a new mix is nice. I do hope she is working on something different at this time, but until then its DIVA!!!!
Perfect for New Fans, but . . ........2007-04-12
This album is really perfect for people who are just being introduced to Sarah Brightman. However, it really isn't for fans who have been with Sarah since the 1990s. All of the pieces are on her previous CDs, and, if you're a loyal fan, you probably already have them. Also, some really good hits are left out. "Harem" should have been put in place, instead of "What You Never Know". It seems as though Ms. Brightman hasn't put her "best" on this album". There also isn't a lot of Sarah from her "early years", such as her albums DIVE and FLY. There's a little bit of Phantom of the Opera, and then there are a lot of pieces from the album Time to Say Goodbye and Eden. A few from La Luna and a few from Harem. I am a LOYAL Sarah Brightman fan, but Sarah didn't out-do herself on this album. It almost seemed as though she was trying to make this a very CLASSICAL collection. I mean, she had some great pop tunes earlier on in her career. It's still a great collection, but I just wish that there was a little bit more! It's perfect for any new fan just coming in to the world of Sarah Brightman!

Bobby Darin was one of the most personally complex and unpredictable artists of the rock era. Indeed, it's hard to find another major artist who reinvented himself with the deceptive ease and overwhelming success chronicled on this 20-track highlight disc. After scoring three lively and considerable Top 10 successes in the space of a year in the late 1950s ("Splish Splash," "Queen of the Hop," "Dream Lover"), Darin traded in his teen idol sweater 'n' slacks for a tux and tie (evidence suggests he considered rock a passing fad!) and went gunning for Sinatra and the Rat Pack. The immediate results were the Grammy-winning No. 1 legend "Mack the Knife" (adapted from Kurt Weill's "Moritat" in The Threepenny Opera) and the enduring, French-inspired Top 10 hit "Beyond the Sea." If Darin spent the early '60s alternately goosing standards from the American songbook ("Clementine," "Bill Bailey," "Lazy River," "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby," etc.) and mending a few rock-pop fences ("Multiplication," "Things"), he still had another surprise in store. His Top 10 take on Tim Hardin's dolorous "If I Were a Carpenter" cast him all too convincingly as conscientious '60s folkie. Other highlights here include his irresistible, swinging take on the lyrically bleak "Artificial Flowers" and his successful, self-penned nods to the '60s Nashville sound, "You're the Reason I'm Living" and "18 Yellow Roses." Darin was considerably more than the first postmodern lounge Revivalist, and herein lies the evidence. --Jerry McCulley

A Must.......2007-05-13
Alongside Sinatra, Ella, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, and others, Bobby Darin is an absolute must in everyone's discotheque.
ought to Buy it !.......2007-04-11
Good selection of his classic songs.Any age group can appreciate Bobby Darin's contribution of music
He was the best of the best!.......2007-04-11
Every song on this CD will remind those of us who lived and loved the music of the 60's why it was so great and will forever remain so. Darin's voice and the artistry of his performance on each song is wonderfully smooth and easy to listen to. It is truly mood food ... whatever your mood might be.
Great!.......2007-03-26
This is a compilation of Bobby Darin's hits and includes everything from "Beyond the Sea" to "Mack The Knife". A definite for any Darin fan.
Too Many Mono Recordings.......2006-12-31
I don't understand the 5 star reviews. Of the 20 tracks on this CD (a good collection), only 5 were the stereo recordings; the remaining 15 were recorded in mono only!!! Bobby Darin's signature tracks of Splish Splash, Mack the Knife, and Beyond the Sea are all in mono format. Horrible, especially considering that the word "Stereo" is plastered across the cover of his "That's All" album where Mack the Knife and Beyond the Sea were recorded.
I suppose if you have one speaker, it would not make a difference, but PLEASE. I feel so very cheated.

From Amazon.co.uk
Though they've suffered death, departure and fraught internal and external relationships, No Doubt have kept faith with fun throughout, as The Singles very clearly proves. As their troubles have made them far from prolific, it's culled almost entirely from three albums--Return of Saturn, Rock Steady and their mega-hit Tragic Kingdom--with just the quirky, warped ska of "Trapped in a Box" to represent their eponymously titled major label debut.
As said, it's excellent fun, from the opening power anthem "Just a Girl", through the ultra-modern, Madonna-like "Hey Baby" and the urgent, melodious power pop of "Excuse Me Mr" to the Chicago-style break-up ballad "Don't Speak". It's easy to see how this colourful band of Anaheim skanksters came to be seen as an energising antidote to the crushing male miserabilism of grunge. There are a few extras; a reverent cover of Talk Talk's "It's My Life", a dance-metal "Hey Baby" remix and a live repeat of the cute, Leonard Cohen-quoting "Underneath It All", featuring Gwen Stefani's vocal and a simple acoustic guitar. But, naturally, it's the hits that count and they're all here, every bouncing, beaming one of them. It's a fine testament to one of America's most enduring pop acts. --Dominic Wills

No Doubt-The Singles 1992-2003 (an unbiased review).......2007-06-17
First, let me start off by saying that this is an unbiased review. I'm not a fan of the band nor do I dislike the band. I'm a fan of all types of music. I also won't be comparing this album to any other albums from the band. This review will be strictly on this particular album. Now onto the review.
No Doubt fans will undoubtedly be thrilled to own a compilation of their favorite band's hits all on one album. Casual fans will want to partake so that they can own an album that contains mostly recognizable and loveable hits from the group.
Here's a rundown of the songs (along with my rating for each song):
Just A Girl-4/5
It's My Life-4/5
Hey Baby-3.5/5
Bathwater-4/5
Sunday Morning-4.5/5
Hella Good-3.5/5
New-3.75/5
Underneath It All-3.5/5
Excuse Me Mr.-4/5
Running-4.5/5
Spiderwebs-4/5
Simple Kind of Life-3.5/5
Don't Speak-4.5-5
Ex-Girlfriend-4/5
Trapped in a Box-3/5
So what's to like about this album? As I said above, casual fans will recognize 80% of the songs on this album. The only songs that I didn't know were "Sunday Morning" (my new favorite track from the band), "New", "Excuse Me Mr.", "Spiderwebs", and "Trapped In a Box". Fans of older No Doubt songs will be content with "Just A Girl", "Bathwater", and "Ex-Girlfriend". Fans of newer No Doubt songs will be entertained by "Hey Baby", "Hella Good", and the newest song on this album "It's My Life". There's also ton of different kinds of music to choose from. From reggae-influenced "Sunday Morning" to the more electronic sounding "Hey Baby" to the classic No Doubt sound (it's all about the guitars, baby!) in "Excuse Me Mr." to the ballads like "Don't Speak", this album is sure to please everybody!
Lyric-wise, this album has everything! You have songs about breakups and seperations. And you have songs about being "Just A Girl" and songs that make you just want to get up and dance. Vocal-wise, I prefer the older No Doubt songs to the newer ones. Gwen's voice is perfect for its genre.
Furthermore, the songs aren't in any particular order so if you listen to the album straight through, you get an eclectic mix of old and new songs.
And what's not to like? Honestly, nothing. I love every song on this album although I have to be in a certain mood to listen to the newer songs.
My rating: 5/5 stars. There's a ton of entertainment on this album. Whether you're a fan of the band's music or you just like great music in general, this album is a must have for your CD collection. It's one of the first CDs I pull out when I want a mix of everything. You won't know how much you want this CD until you have it in your hands!
Excuse me, Excuse me Mr.......2007-05-14
The rapid fire second punch that gave the audience no chance to breathe after the opening number on most of the Tragic Kingdom shows, this song went from closer to opener in the setlist before comfortably settling into the second spot right after "Tragic Kingdom". Originally the song had been played at the end of the show with Gwen's call and response of "Excuse me... excuse me mister", and "I'm in line too", the band would play as quiet as a whisper until Gwen screamed "F--- YOU MISTER!!!" where the boys would then fire up again and finish the song (and usually the show) out. It has been said that an original version was recorded that the band disliked, and when the last song for the album was penned (this being "Spiderwebs") the band insisted that they would record it if they were allowed to rerecord "Excuse Me Mr." the way they wanted. Not only did it become the version we all know, but those two songs ended up being the last recorded for Tragic Kingdom, and Gwen has called it the best recording experience the band has had. On a funny note, Tom said often that the lyrics were 'metaphorical' and 'cryptic', once even stating that Gwen's lyrics were written to sound like the song was written about a homeless person. Of course this isn't true. Or is it??? The song had been written for quite a while before it was released, as the band was playing it live in 1993 and even played an acoustic version of it on the radio show Loveline in June 1993.
Good.......2007-03-06
This Greatest hits album by No Doubt has an excellent variety of all their top songs from previous albums. I give it 5 out of 5. A recommended buy if you are a No Doubt fan.
Just Right.......2007-02-18
The perfect compilation album for the casual No Doubt fan who feels no need to own the individual albums. Most of the songs are radio standards we've heard and enjoyed a thousand times apiece.
The Best of the Best!.......2007-02-02
Wonderful collection of all their greatest hits! I actually love the commentary on the inside sleeve about how each song came about into being.

Little Wonders - Rob Thomas.......2007-06-16
I think this song is fab and deserves to be in the GB charts, as yet I have never heard it played on the radio in the UK only in Australia. I think thre track just grabs you, the word are good and Rob is a great singer.
Can It Get Any Better?.......2007-05-30
I've always found Rob Thomas to be a talented crafter of hook-laden songs. His distinctive voice lends itself well to his writings, and the results are songs that are instantly likeable and memorable.
"Little Wonders" continues that streak and then some. There's a haunting, almost sentimental, feel to this song that is unshakeable. The gorgeous, U2-like opening imposes a sense of sadness to the song, but the lyrics lift the song to another place. They say that, in the end, the best parts of life are found in the little things that mean the most.
My only recommendation is to spend a few extra dollars and pick up the soundtrack to "Meet the Robinsons"... I haven't seen the movie, but the other singles on the CD are great, and Dany Elfman's scoring is always entertaining.
Very uplifting.......2007-05-05
Wow!
Rob Thomas has an excellent voice and this song is so uplifting. It has certainly inspired me to get back into songwriting.
Great chorus, great riffs.
Very Rob Thomas, very catchy.
Not a bad movie either.
