Profile: I have been a fiend for music all of my life. With me, anything goes, with my favourite genres being industrial, freestyle, house, hip hop, metal, electro, R&B and pop. Basically, anything I can groove to! I'm more a collector than a DJ, though I have been known to spin the wheels on occasion...

I WILL NOT SELL ANYTHING from my collection. And I cannot make MP3's from vinyl or cassettes. I will, however, be more than happy to assist with any questions anyone may have about anything in my collection.

Reviews:

Dead Or Alive - Fan The Flame (Part II) "Love Pete" (The Acoustic Session) - 02-Oct-08 09:20 AM
According to Petes autobiography, Freak Unique, he does not support this release nor did he distribute it. He says someone took the incomplete demo tapes and released this without his involvement. He does not approve of this release and shuns fans who purchase it, equating them to thieves, as the money paid for the intended completed release was supposed to go to the less fortunate. True fans of Pete and Dead Or Alive would be wise not to purchase it.

Corona - 07-Feb-07 11:44 PM
Corona is primarily known worldwide for her (their?) hits "Rhythm Of The Night" and "Baby Baby". Few people know that the verses of "Rhythm Of The Night" are taken straight from an earlier release by Dutch duo Say When! entitled "Save Me", and that the chorus of "Baby Baby", itself a remake of the Joy & Joyce song "Babe Babe", utilizes samples from Siedah Garretts "K.I.S.S.I.N.G." as its chorus.

Vanity - Pretty Mess / Mechanical Emotion - 10-Aug-05 12:27 PM
While no one would accuse Vanity of having a great voice, when one listens to the production of these songs now, it amazes at just how of yet ahead of its time the production was. This is the sound that newer acts like Chromeo and Peaches are looking to emulate, a funk/synth/rock hybrid.

Eleanor* - Adventure - 12-Apr-04 02:46 PM
Shep Pettibone lifts the bassline of Rockers Revenges Walking On Sunshine and slides it behind Eleanors smooth vocals (and animal noises!), transforming a fairly average worldbeat song into a slow, scorching house-ish oasis. One of his best mixes by far.

Bette Midler - I'm Beautiful - 19-Jan-04 10:25 AM
This song was originally done, and to much better effect, by Uncanny Alliance on their album. Brinsley Evans, who remixed the track here, is one half of this group.
