CRAZY FROG - CRAZY HITS
Crazy Frog "Crazy Hits" Album Review
There's something about crazy frog...
My daughter wanted a Crazy Frog CD for her birthday. I had a vague notion of what Crazy Frog was - I had heard one song on the radio. I decided to read reviews from other parents on Amazon, and there were many positive statements. I ordered the CD, and my daughter was thrilled to receive it! She loaded it onto her IPod immediately. There is something about the music that makes you want to listen, to dance, to hear more! I haven't figured out exactly what that something is, though. But it's fun.
Video Crazy Frog - Popcorn (Album version)
The nr. 1 single from 2005 from the album: 'Crazy Frog Presents Crazy Hits' "Popcorn" is the sophomore single release by Crazy Frog, released on the 22 August 2005. It is a remix of "Popcorn", originally a hit in 1969 for Gershon Kingsley and later in 1971 for Hot Butter. Jamba! once again arranged the remix.
INAYA DAY - NASTY GIRL
Inaya Day "Nasty Girl" Album Review
Nice cover of the Vanity 6 classic.
Not many people have tried to do a straight up cover of Vanity 6's 1982 radio banned classic "Nasty Girl" but dance diva Inaya Day tries. This version is the US cd single (the Australian one has different mixes) and features 4 very well done mixes. This version is sung as if Brenda Bennett was the lead singer of Vanity 6 instead of Denise Matthews. BIG vocals. The sticking point for me and if you know the original version -- is that Ms. Day never utters the line that got the song banned from radio and the cover of so many stories-- "I need 7 inches or more" . Why that was not included is beyond me. It seems that Vanity in 1982 had more guts or sleeze than Inaya Day did in 2005. The mixes range from flat out bass driven house to tribal house.
Tracks: Nasty Girl
1- Full Mix (5:01)
2- So Phat Remix Remix (6:07)
3- Peter 's Reconstruction Mix (9:48)
4- Rauhofer's Sleaze Mix (8:17)
Excellent mixes and vocals but not enough guts to try and do the original the way Prince made it to begin with.

ACE OF BASE - THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION
Ace of Base "The Ultimate Collection" Album Review
Swedish Fish
Mid 90's mega-superstars Ace of Base may not be in the media spotlight here in the US, but fans can still enjoy this amazing box set. And let me tell you this collection has just about everything right. Included on the first two discs of the set are all the hits from the group in the original format (read European versions) as well as a few choice album songs and rarity singles. The third disc (housed in the packaging sleeve) is a bonus disc that contains some of the groups remixes; mainly from "The Sign/Happy Nation" era. It would have been great to have some rarer remixes included on the remix disc, especially for fans importing from non-european markets.
The packaging of the set is well done as well. The digipak opens to the casings holding the first two discs; with the third disc and an booklet kept in the outer flaps. The quality is great and some thought was put in the collection.
Another big draw for "The Ulitmate Collection" is the sound remastering. Lots of things are remastered these days, but the process work quite well for the older tracks on the album. Each sounds a bit clearer and equalized. Well done.
For fans looking to complete their Ace of Base collection...there isn't much newness here to offer. But for those that feel the need to aquire a great tribute to some of the best pop music since Abba..."The Ultimate Collection" is a must have.
