Review: During the early 1980s, the music of New York producer Bobby Orlando ruled gay clubs, particularly in Europe. While he was responsible for putting together and producing a huge number of acts - The Flirts, The Bang Gang, Runaway, Barbi & The Kens etc. - it was with drag artist Divine that he enjoyed his greatest commercial success. His formula was simple: synthesizer-heavy, radio-friendly club tracks that borrowed heavily from Italo-disco, Hi-NRG, Patrick Cowley and Giorgio Moroder. It's interesting that the majority of the material on this Divine Greatest Hits still stands up to scrutiny today, particularly the deliciously camp "Shoot Your Shot", percussive "Jungle Jezebel" and Italo-goes-rap madness of "Psychedelic Shack".

Review: It's time to celebrate the legacy of the best that ever did it. The Notorious BIG wasn't just a rapper, he was a story teller, a prolific poet and, through his words, persona, life and music he opened doors and opportunities for hip-hop as a whole. The release of "Greatest Hits" denotes the commemoration of one of the most historic body of works in hip-hop. The new compilation album also includes two brand new tracks from The Notorious BIG.

Review: Danny Wilde and Phil Solem formed The Rembrandts in Los Angeles in 1990, after meeting in the 80s pop/new wave band Great Buildings. While they'll always be known for the phenomenal smash 'I'll Be There For You' (Theme from Friends), they created a host of harmony-filled, literate, and guitar-driven songs including the soulful 'Just The Way It Is, Baby'. Those signature classics plus the favourites 'If Not For Misery', 'Save Me' and 'Johnny Have You Seen Her?' are among the 18 tracks featured here along with two defining Great Buildings cuts including the propulsive single 'Hold On To Something'.

Review: Formed in Forest Hills, NY, in 1974, this quartet of quintessential punk forefathers blitzkrieged out of NYC's legendary CBGB scene and into world fame with three loud, lean, hard, and fast albums before the Sex Pistols even took their first shot. Besides basically inventing punk rock, Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Tommy outlasted almost every one of their legions of followers, delivering their signature pop and garage-flavoured chainsaw sound for over 20 years, through a string of infamous albums and 2,263 concerts together. Spanning 1976-1995, this new collection features 20 classic tracks, including 'Sheena Is A Punk Rocker', 'Rockaway Beach', 'Rock 'N' Roll High School', 'I Wanna Be Sedated', 'Pet Seminary' and 'Blitzkrieg Bop'.

Review: Taking a closer look at the Floorfilla discography, one cannot help but think that this dance project is a hit maker second to none. Be it "Sister Golden Hair", "Kosmiklove", "Technoromance" or the "Anthems 1 - 6", Floorfilla have always been able to hit the charts high. A compilation of the greatest Floorfilla hits called for!

Review: The queen of Euro dance in the 90s. Her tracks were rocking the European charts of the last decade of the last century! Hits like "U Got 2 Let The Music" and "U & Me" are household names in dance-oriented apartments! "Greatest Hits" collects all successful tracks of Cappella.
