The liner notes to Capitol's 20-track retrospective of rock goddess Pat Benatar's golden years are filled with testimonials from some of the genre's queens, both reigning (Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos) and retired (Jane Wiedlin, Martha Davis). It's a fitting tribute to the artist, as her four-and-a-half-octave vocal range spewing arena-sized anthems has yet to be matched by anyone with as much rock & roll panache. "We Belong," "Shadows of the Night," "Promises in the Dark," and "Love Is a Battlefield" are all certifiable '80s classics -- not just guilty pleasures -- and even later semi-hits like "Sex as a Weapon" and "All Fired Up" don't sound as overwrought as one would imagine, having not heard them in some time. Greatest Hits is just five songs longer than 1989's Best Shots -- reissued in 2003 with an accompanying DVD -- but the inclusion of fan favorites such as "Little Too Late" and "Le Bel Age" make this collection the most effective to date. Fair is fair. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide

Baby's Band Tele Music |
| For the last 30 years, from Hip Hop to House, exerts from Disco records have formed the backbone of dance tracks the world over. However, after three decades that has seen countless producers plundering their parent's record collections, the quest to find untapped and original disco gold to remould has become an almost impossible task. However, the ever knowledgeable folks at DJ History have managed to strike disco gold with their latest compilation, 'Tele Music Remixed', which unearths a selection of unheard dance floor gems and understatedly updates them for big club systems and basement parties alike. Using long lost French library music to create the source material for a series of remixes, the DJ History crew have then assembled a crack team of crate digging enthusiast that includes X-Press 2 member Diesel, Manchester legends Unabombers and disco kids Faze Action. It's helpful to know that rather than being like much library music, which is often merely a means to end for radio producers and directors on a budget, 'Tele Music' was composed by some of the tightest session musicians of their day, who played on a slew of multi platinum selling releases for the lies of Cerrone and Don Ray. Pick of album comes from edit wizz-kid Leo Zero, who takes the subtle groove of 'Babys Band' and infuses it with acid house sirens, wonky synth leads and general disco debauchery. The full album contains more of the same from cult crate diggers Ray Mang and Idjut Boys and is available exclusively from www.DJHistory.com . Most certainly one for the connoisseur! ©2008 Shazam Entertainment Limited. All rights reserved. | |
