As with their last hit, Elephunk, Black Eyed Peas' new disc Monkey Business is a joyful cross-genre journey with musical props to hip-hop, rock, folk, funk, and pop. The reason the Black Eyed Peas have audience appeal that crosses over many styles is because the band members are such obvious fans of diverse music. Nowhere is this more apparent than on Monkey Business's high-profile guest list. After Justin Timberlake's contribution to the massive "Where Is the Love" breakout hit from Elephunk, their inclusion of big names once again was a smart, respectful move on the part of the band as well as their guests. "My Style" is Timberlake's BEP foray number two; while the song is funky pop fun, those looking to hear Justin in the forefront are likely to be disappointed, as his vocals are mixed evenly, no sweet soulful solos this time. Other guests of note are Jack Johnson, who cowrote the bling-bashing "Gone Going," Sting on "Union" (sonically inspired by the former Police-man's "Englishman in New York"), while funk legend James Brown contributes to a scorching soul track dubbed "They Don't Want Music." The contribution of female vocalist Fergie--who joined the band partway through their last CD--has raised up considerably on the band's fourth disc, their second as a quartet. Sassily fronting her way through songs like "My Humps," the "Hey Mama"-esque "Dum Diddly" and the first single "Don't Phunk With My Heart," Fergie's melodic contributions make for a record that will likely be heard by wider audiences than ever, making this a truly accessible `hip-pop' CD. --Denise Sheppard

great beat easy to dance to.......2007-03-31
This CD is great from the first song to the last, I just wish that they would play them more on the radio. We love the BLACK EYED PEAS!!!
the black eyed peas are the business, the monkey business.......2007-03-22
they made an awsome cd! the only thing i diddnt like was that they diddnt make an edited version that came out on cd! i wish they did cuz somtimes my mom gets mad at me for listining to music with bad words but somtimes she doesnt
Fun!.......2007-03-13
This is just a fun CD. It makes you want to dance.
We listen to this in the Operating Room and it makes the atmosphere less tense.
NOTHING LESS THAN 5 STARS.......2007-02-13
New to this genre, I am blown away! Variety, beat, talent... I can not get to my other cds. CAN NOT agree with other unimpressed reviewers. Listen once, listen twice... Listen to that complex music and those words!!!!
Pretty good.......2007-01-31
I got this a a gift, so at first I was not sure if I wanted to keep it of sell it, as I am not really a BEP fan. In all honesty I know very little about this band, a song or two here and there. I decided to keep it and give it a try, I don't like the popular "hits" that much from this album, but was suprised at some of the really good album tracks. The players are very good on this album. There is a real sense of old school funk here that I really like.
I guess you never know what you will like till you give it a try.

Great Collection of Party Songs.......2007-06-26
Very close reproductions to the original artist. Your guests will never know that they aren't listening to the originals because they will be too busy dancing and watching their family and freinds having a great time. This one set filled in many holes in my DJ presentation. A real value. When can I get the next Drew collection!
What a ripoff!.......2007-06-13
I can't believe I didn't read the reviews before buying this piece of "$*#. What a waste of money! Nowhere in the description does it say that these are not sung by the original artist!!! False advertising!! I guess it lists "Drew's Famous Party Music" where it normally puts the artist, but I figured that was the company who put the cd together and not the name of some lame coverband.
We're doing an iPod wedding exactly for this reason, because I want original music and not someone's bad rendition of a great song.
DO NOT BUY THIS!!! Buy a compilation of the originals instead!
please read the reviews before you buy anything...ever........2007-01-30
After a long night of intoxication I wound up buying this cd set. This is for childrens parties, meant for those who either don't know or don't care
about the original quality recordings. If your reputation or pocket book is not at stake this compelation is decent. Save your money for the real thing. Support the original artists it's worth it.
A great set of dance tunes for kids.......2007-01-15
Lots of songs that my teenagers danced to as they were growing up (the Macarena, the Chicken Dance, Electric Slide, etc.). I'm using this as an indoor alternative when teaching physical education to 4th graders.
Fake! Fake! Fake!.......2006-05-01
I bought one of these CD's many years ago and found out the hard way. What a joke and a ripoff. No original artists and nowhere on the CD does it say this. I never bought another one.

DAME SHIRLEY DOES IT AGAIN!!.......2007-07-11
The CD is out at long last...the party has started! Dame Shirley Bassey shines as always! She is a world treasure! A MUST buy CD.
SO MUCH FUN!!!.......2007-07-09
This is a fun one...lots of great remixes, stunning new vocals from a lady who show no signs of slowing down. "Living Tree" is powerful, "Party" is great fun. Nobody does it like the Dame!
Majestic!!.......2007-07-09
Welsh/Nigerian songstress, Dame Shirley Bassey, returns with an album of classics with a contemporary twist. Produced by a slew of cutting edge producers and remixers like Bugz in the attic, and North by northwest, the project was driven by the Dame herself.
Best known by some for the Bond theme songs she sang; "Diamonds are forever", "Goldfinger". And "Moonraker", the 13 songs on this collection are heavily influenced by that. The album has already given Dame Shirley Bassey her first UK top 10 album in some decades and deservedly so.
"The living tree" is arguably the best Bond record that never was, with it's Trip Hop feel; a brooding sound, sweeping dramatic strings and explosive vocal delivery (her voice is as booming as ever - she doesn't do things by halves) from the seventy year old Dame. Similar is the self assertive "This is my life".
Lionel Richie's "Hello" is given a haunting, atmospheric treatment. Nicole's dad would be proud of the result. The lightly horn sprinkled "Can I touch you there" (the Michael Bolton song) is similarly transformed (lovely percussion and nice male harmonies).
"I who have nothing" is given a slight dub feel, while "I will survive" is transformed by epic sounding strings and skittery percussion. "What now my love" has a slight salsa feel. "You only live twice" (originally done by Nancy Sinatra) is covered superbly here, downplaying the Bond feel, and giving it a light Cuban feel.
"Where is the love" is given the disco treatment (superb sax outro, by the way), similar to her "Moonraker" hit, and her old hit "Big spender" starts off startingly like Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" in its new incarnation.
The title track is a rousing reworking of Pink's "Get the party started" with dramatic strings, and crisp enunciation from the Dame.
It is amazing to see a veteran like Dame Shirley Bassey still sounding cutting edge and not resting on her laurels. If you like your music bland and safe, this might not be for you.
Her other album of remixes, "Diamonds are forever: the remix album" is also worth checking out. "Get the party started" is a wonderful aural experience!!
A Triumph!! BRAVO BASSEY!!.......2007-07-09
Finally got this long awaited CD, and it doesn't dissapoint. Great from beginning to end. Dame Shirley shows the world what real singing is all about. Althougth some of the songs have been re-recorded, they are fresh and exciting. I really love Big Spender , Kiss me Hone, Honey, and what else can you say about This Is My Life?
The tile track is sublime, and so is Where is the Love. A must have for all music lovers. You would never know this woman is 70years old listening to her voice!!!

Just in time for sultry weather festivities, the trusty world music compilation label Putumayo has put together yet another dynamite party album. From the opening 1-2-3/1-2 clavé of Raúl' Paz' "Mua Mua Mua", which is soon overwhelmed by electronica only to re-emerge at will, the beats are as relentless as they are caressing. The set covers a lot of ground geographically, as Puerto Rican salsa, Mexican and Colombia cumbia and Cuban rumba have long since become international preoccupations, performed by local practitioners in every corner of the globe. Africando, with its blend of West African salseros and New York-based Latin all-stars, and Riccardo Lemvo's suave rumba Congolaise via LA, have repatriated rhythms that came from Africa in the first place. Belgium is an unlikely pit-stop, but Gabriël Rios' Santeria-infused "Bones Bugalu" has plenty of authenticity plus panache to spare. The grooves just keep coming, so put on those dancing shoes, snag an ice-cold forty-ouncer of malt liquor from the corner bodega and swing the night away! Part of the proceeds from this album will be donated to United For Colombia, in support of their efforts to help children who have been injured by landmines. --Christina Roden
Album Description
¡Baila!.is a global Latin party featuring salsa, cumbia, and meringue mixed with contemporary dance beats and rhythms. The party starts in the streets of Havana before hitting the road. Raul Paz kicks it off with "Mua Mua Mua," seamlessly blending the deep grooves of his native Cuba with the contemporary stylings he's picked up since relocating to France. Back in Cuba NG La Banda offer "La Cachimba" their mission statement announcing the virtues of a new musical style that's sure to make you dance. Next the party travels to Colombia, where the collective known as La-33 is revitalizing salsa by reconnecting it to the genre's golden era of the 1960s and 70s. Not to be outdone, however, New York delivers a rhythm-driven one-two punch with The Spanish Harlem Orchestra and Yerba Buena contributing the best of the old school and the new. On the West Coast, Argentinean ex-pats Los Pinguos and Congo native Ricardo Lemvo integrate various Latin elements that keep the party people on their feet.
The next stop on the party express is Belgium, where Gabriel Rios landed after leaving his native Puerto. Experimenting with a variety of influences while maintaining his deep Latin roots has made this unique musician an unlikely pop star in his adopted home. Next we travel to Stockholm, Sweden, where the high-powered ensemble Calle Real is bringing a thaw to their native city. The Africando All Stars and Brooklyn Funk Essentials round out this collection, proving once and for all that the party is right here.
A portion of Putumayo's proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to United for Colombia in support of their efforts to help children who are victims of landmines in Colombia.

Perfect from start to finish!.......2007-05-31
An absolutely irresistable collection of dance salsa! The first two cuts are absolutely spectacular. Everything else is nearly as strong. There is not a throw-away on this CD. I took a Cuban Salsa dance lesson recently, and the instructor played "Mua Mua Mua" 3 or 4 times every lesson for 7 lessons, and the class never tired of it, we just loved the song more each time! The entire CD stands up well to repeated listening. It has a nice variety, with a couple tracks having a reggaeton sound, and a couple cumbias, while sticking closer to true cuban salsa rather that the Americanized club sound. Mostly though the sound is pure and true Salsa. If that is what you are looking for, this is a must have disc!
Love Putumayo music.......2007-01-05
This is one of my favorite Putumayo cds, although I love them all. It is fun, energetic and makes my 19 month old son show us his moves! A must for music lovers.
New Style Salsa and Latin Flavors.......2006-08-28
Putumayo always puts out a quality product, and this disc is no exception. The collection of salsa and latin rhythyms is a collection spanning several countries, but all of the tracks are lively upbeat and fun. several of the tracks include electronic elements, such as electric drumbeats and samples. This allows the listeners to see what is being done with a now classic genre to revitalize it. this new generation of Salseros breathes new life into a now-classic music style.
I would recomend this for any casual listener interested in hearing some modern style salsa music. fun to dance to and upbeat and cheery.
TRULY A SENSATIONAL PIECE!.......2006-05-24
This music makes you want to get up and dance! The first few tracks are the best, but the whole CD is very good. I could not stop listening to son fro by africando and many more. Hide this CD because once you pop it in, your friends will never want to give it back to you. After owning gypsy caravan, afro-latino, afro latin party, salsa around the world, cuba and many more i have come to say that this is one of the best putumayo we have seen up to date. Also check out putumayo colombia-It is sure to get you dancing like you have never danced before!

Get connected.......2007-04-22
I really like this Cd, it's a classic, with the title track to be one of those that will live forever. I think Stereo MC's are also worth checking out for some of their other, underrated work.
Fans can never be objective..........2006-04-21
From the OBJECTIVE reviewer...the perfect melting pot of rap and funk. It's impossible to skip over even one track on this CD.
A little unimaginative... but better than I expected........2006-02-23
Bought this CD for one track (connected)... a little early 90s nostalgia.
Not exactly one of my all time favorites, but a good CD for cleaning the house...
Good Driving Music.......2005-09-23
I must say the only reason why I initially bought this album was because of the nostalgia of "Connected" and "Step It Up". After listening to the album though, I was pleased to discover a few gems like "Ground Level", "Playing With Fire" and "Pressure". But unfortunately those are the only songs that really stick out. The rest is just background lounge music. That said, this is still a decent album to listen to - especially on a long drive. I would have given this 2 stars out of 5, but I had to give it an extra star solely on the basis that this it is undeniably quite a creative and original record.
Amazing!.......2005-07-26
I love the Stereo MC's because they provide me with what I feel is missing from most other Hip Hop & Hip Hop influenced Pop and that's good musical production, a variety of sounds and instruments, vocals & lyrics that don't rely on blatant swearing and mindless lyrics about "bitches and hoes", crime, drugs, etc...
I like all the tracks except 3, and the only thing I dont like about track 5 & 13 is the female vocals. My favourites are 1, 7 & 11. By the way, if you like these guys, you might also want to check out the Fun Lovin' Criminals.

ok but a bit old.......2007-03-20
I liked this but the sounds are a bit old now... I like the more energetic stuff coming from Europe currently -- for example EURO CLUB HITS VOL. 1 which is on iTunes and Rhapsody and etc.
This is your night... dancing until the morning light..........2007-03-12
This CD is awesome! I love it! It makes you want to dance all night!
THE BEST!.......2005-03-08
This awesome CD reminds me of my senior year of high school at the American School of the Hague in the Netherlands. Weekends were spent dancing my butt off to these awesome songs, I miss eurotechno, and eurodance! To anyone who loves to dance this is a must, not to mention this CD will have you moving at the gym!
An ok dance CD.......2003-11-30
This is an ok dance CD. Only about 4 good dance tracks worth the listen such as "Who Do U Love" - Deborah Cox, "Be My Lover" - La Bouche feat. Melanie Thornton, "Dreamer" - Livin' Joy, "Beautiful Life" - Ace of Base. The rest is basically pretty boring. Not a great dance CD, but still an ok one. Get this only if you like most of the tracks and artists on this dance compilation album.
I MISS THIS TIME..........2003-03-11
BEST EVER!
EVERYTHING BUT A GIRL,LA BOUCHE,ACE OF BASE,LOS DEL RIO...

80's classics.......2007-06-15
You can either download a pile of titles from 80's progressive rock from the internet or you can just buy this disc and get a lot of fun classics from this era. It's got a lot of the titles you want.
Rhino Stumbles.......2006-05-05
I really expected more. Rhino, the author of the Stiff Records and 'Left of the Dial' box sets and the 'Just Can't Get Enough' series assembled this tired set of eighties new wave? Wow.
A third of this CD has been anthologized to death. Toni Basil? Men Without Hats? A-Ha? Modern English? Thomas Dolby? Dexy's Midnight Runners? Again??? Where's Nena and "99 Luftballoons"?
I could name six more interesting choices in my sleep: Pete Shelley. Freur. Lene Lovich. Heaven 17. Fun Boy Three. Blancmange.
Gary Numan, Haircut 100 and Frank & Moon Zappa lend a breath of fresh air, and Rhino does their usual stellar job of remastering, but it's not enough.
This is for the person who: A. is an extremely casual music fan (i.e. buys a CD about every other year), or B. is too young to have been around when these songs were all over the airwaves.
Otherwise, you likely have the better stuff on this CD elsewhere, and who needs to hear "Mickey" ever again? (And I mean EVER again.) If you fit one of the two profiles listed above, you'll be completely content. If you don't--save your money.
Rhino Remastering Makes These Hits Sound AMAZING!.......2004-02-11
Thumbs up to Rhino Records for actually putting out good music on their compilations! I'm not just referring to the music included but also the sound quality. I was blown away when I stumbled upon another "Millennium" release by Rhino. The sound quality is amazing. So I was inspired to buy 3 (!) more of their "Millennium" compilations. According to their website, they look for the best available original master tapes and use the best state-of-the-art equipment for remastering these songs, referring to the "remastered in rhinophonic authentic sound" logos on the releases. Most labels don't even remaster the material! I'm really big on sound quality and I've never heard any of these songs on this collection (or any of their other "Millennium" releases) sound so crisp, bright, and clear! Take for example, "Sweet Dreams" or "Whip It," recorded in 1983 and 1980, respectively. The bass stands out like any song released today. A must-have just for the quality!
Besides the sound quality, the tracklisting is one of the best I've seen for an 80's collection (despite not all songs being "New Wave"). Another plus is the liner notes with the Billboard Hot 100 chart peaks and year of release.
If you say so........2003-06-25
Just because this music was released during the New Wave era, doesn't mean it's new wave music. Maybe the Eurythmics, Madness, The Thompson Twins, and some of the bands with one hit wonders such as Thomas Dolby or Modern English could be considered New Wave; but Tony Basil? Wang Chung? Bow Wow Wow?! that's like saying all nazis were germans and all germans are nazis. Which isn't true. Not all 80's music is new wave! and those cheerleader pop songs are not new wave. It's like saying that Britney Spears' rendition of "I love Rock and Roll" is Rock and Roll music. New wave music has a meaning behind it. A lot of times it relates to what's going on in the world around (NOT U2!). Not, "oh mickey you're so fine," but, "people are people, so why should it be, you and I should get along so awfully?" Maybe you can sneak some punk in there: The Clash, any one that really told it how it was. But don't insult New Wave!!! Bring on the Depeche Mode (the early years-before '86, after Alan Wilder first began before they went Synth-Pop when they really had something to say), bring on the tears for fears, and even some of the Talk Talk!
Fabulous Collection of 80s music!.......2003-06-07
I just got this CD from the library yesterday. And it's great. It has just about all my favorite songs. I think "I Ran" is the most popular song out of all of the songs. And the sound quality is great. It's like your right there in the studio. If you love 80s music, you've got to have this collection.

Before he wrote half the soundtracks in the world (Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Batman, The Nightmare Before Christmas) Danny Elfman led himself an eccentric little rock band called Oingo Boingo. Actually they weren't so little; in fact, the eight-man band boasted one of rock's finest horn sections in addition to Elfman's devilishly good, often humorous songs. Dead Man's Party is Boingo's finest hour, melding their whacked-out mix of XTC, Frank Zappa, and Tower of Power with a genuine pop sensibility. Elfman is in perfect vocal form here, leading the combo through their biggest hit, "Weird Science" (which put Elfman on the soundtrack path) as well as Boingo chestnuts "Fool's Paradise" and the infectious, macabre title track. --Michael Ruby
Customer Reviews:
Uber good album!.......2007-06-05
This album intorduced me to Oingo Boingo even though I was a huge Danny Elfamn fan before I ever heard them. The first song I was introduced to was Weird Science. I loved it so much I looked up the artist and was shocked to see that Danny Elfman used to sing in a band. This was the first OB album I ever got and it's spectacular. This is a great album to start anyone off with OB. It's upbeat and songs such as Dead Man's Party and No One LIves Forever give a refreshing take on death with jumpy tunes that make you just want to dance. I listen to it all the time. When people ask about OB you cant put them into any specific category because it depends on the song. Some are more ska some are more punk but like I said: THIS IS AN UBER GOOD ALBUM! STRONGLY RECOMMEND.
Oingo Boingo.......2006-08-10
The CD was all I expected. I have enjoyed listening to it many times now.
Hooray for Oingo Boingo!.......2006-03-07
This is a great CD to get into Oingo's sound, as it's more appealing to a general audience and fun to dance to. The songs are all fun and catchy, but I don't get why Dead Man's Party became one of the more popular ones. It's okay, but there's nothing ultra amazing about it.
No One Lives Forever is a great song...Danny Elfman is so fun to listen to! It's a good album to own..I mean, come on! It's less than 10 dollars, and it's classic!
good halloween cd.......2005-10-29
Dead mans party is a cool halloween song. This album is my favorite boingo cd.
Halloween Dance Party 101.......2005-10-15
Anyone who listened to the radio in the 80s (or even now) or went out dancing or...whatever...you will recognize "Dead Man's Party." I think it's strange that that song (Track 2) became so well-known. They have more generally accepted-sounding songs, and many more "exciting" ones. For a long time I considered this my least favorite Boingo album, as "Weird Science" is by far my least favorite Boingo song. Although I can't help but like it...
With a definite sort of "Southwest U.S. Dancing Skeleton" feeling (sorry, that's not really a great description...), this album bridged a change of style for Boingo between their edgier sounds and the softer ideas expressed in "Boi-Ngo."
This album is definitely worth a straight listen, though. Whoever compiled the tracks was very clever. Some sort of story arc is made musically that really shows through from beginning to end. It's like watching a movie that changed drastically from beginning to end but manages to do so with such grace that you don't even notice.
Although not my favorite Boingo album, Track 4 "No One Lives Forever" is one of favorite Boingo songs. Give it a listen!

Following their success with 2005's George Is On, house duo Deep Dish (known individually as Sharam and Dubfire) set out to divide and conquer with individual mixes for UK label Global Underground. Sharam strikes first--and hard--with Dubai, a two-disc set that is likely to generate comparisons with GU's other epic releases such as Sasha's Ibiza (GU13). Disc one is the slow-burner here: Spider and Legaz's dub of "Look Around" funks things up with a vocoder-drenched synth line that could have been pulled off a Jeff Beck album before giving way to the druggy, cascading echoes of 16 Bit Lolitas' "Passing Lights." From the perspective of the second disc, the moody expanse of the first begins to look a lot like an elaborate launch sequence, as the infectious "Timewarp" merges into Cedric Gervais's "Spirit in My Life," which sends the whole business into orbit. Sharam has undoubtedly reached a new high here, with programming so organic it sometimes seems like the track list may have just dropped out of the sky. For those awaiting the next big Global Underground release, your time has come. --Brent Kallmer
Customer Reviews:
This a great CD........2007-05-17
Wow!!! I love disc #2. It's absolutely groovy. Disc #1 sounds a lot like the second disc but I like that one to. This is a great disc for everyday use and it doesn't get old. It's in my top 3 cd's currently.
Smooth Grooves.......2007-05-12
This is a brilliant mix for anyone's collection. Unlike many 'set' mixes, this album can be enjoyed at a party, or relaxing on one's own. The chunky beats just keep evolving from track to track.
Best GU Release since Deep Dish Toronto!!!.......2007-05-10
Wow! This album just plain rocks. If you like funky, dirty, and sexy house music with plenty of stellar vocals...then this is the mix for you! However, if you prefer monotonous / repetitive beats and compilations that are more about "creating the journey" rather than providing good music...then it's probably not. It comes down to personal preference.
Personally, I've been disappointed with GU releases for a few years now. I have found several of the latest releases to be boring and hard to listen to. I'm sorry people, but if an electronica comp doesn't make you want to bob your head or move your feet to the beat...then it's not doing its job! And, I haven't found that to be the case with a GU release since Deep Dish Toronto, Digweed LA, and Warren Amsterdam. I was worried that GU had lost its way for good!
But, not anymore! This album has restored my faith in The Global Underground!
amazing again.......2007-03-22
fantastic sequencing of songs, great mixes. a consistent level of energy and excitement. based on this disc I cannot wait to hear dubfire's new one or for the next Deep Dish disc to be released. great beats, great heavy bass bottom.
Nothing Special About This Solo Effort For Sharam.......2007-03-01
Once again I would like to refer readers to LexAffection's excellent and unbiased reviews. Take the harsh critics' reviews with a grain of salt. They are usually coming from reviewers who are obsessed with progressive trance and become annoyed with a DJ when they flex his or her creative muscles in an attempt to come up with a fresh compilation. How dare you DJ's?! Trying to make an album sound different from their last! You people are starting to sound like those classic rock diehards that have listened to Led Zeppelin every day for the last 30 years. Electronica encompases a vast array of genres and is continually evolving. That's its beauty. This compilation represents part of the evolution for Sharam.
However, I'll be the first to admit that I like the dynamics that came from the duo Deep Dish. Dubfire's darker style and his preference for progressive house was a good balance when coupled with Sharam's ligher style and preference for house and vocal tracks.
This two disc set is heavily laddened with vocal tracks (with the male vocalists all closely sounding to long-time friend and previously featured vocalist, Morel). Firstly, It would have been nice to have a little more non-vocal progressive house tracks to balance out the album. Secondly, and more importantly, Sharam's track selection is fairly dire.
If you are a trance-head and hate house music then don't buy the album. If you are looking for an album as good as GU025:Toronto (like I was), more than likely you'll be disappointed. Others love it. Personally, I consider 5/13 tracks on disc 1, and 4/14 tracks on disc 2 to be above average (none of them are stellar) with the remainder being very mediocre. Can't consider this effort a success for Sharam.
Both Discs 1 and 2 get 3/5 stars. Let's hope Dubfire's upcoming GU release is a little more impressive.
