After a bad morning with my Uncle, I came home and this CD was ready to listen to. Tony Christie is a great singer. He does an excellent job when he sings “Most Beautiful Girl” (Charlie Rich), “Way We Were” (Gladdis Nite and the Pips), “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” (Righteious brothers) and another Charlie Rich cover, “Daddy Don’t you Walk So Fast”. Tony is best remembered for a Neil Sedaka penned classic, “Is This the Way to Ammarillow”. I also enjoyed songs like “Loss Vagus”, “Drive Home Safely, Darling”, a song about a girl who says her last goodbye and gets killed in a car accident, “I Did what I Did For Maria”, Don’t Go Down to Remo” and “Avenues and Allyways”. It’s a god damn shame this CD is out of print! I think the selection on this particular CD is better than “the Definitive Collection” because Tony’s best work was his 1970’s stuff and the stuff he recorded later on including “Walk Like a Panther”, thankfuly not included here was one of the worst songs of all- time.

A classic Tony Bennett album has to be among any collection of the best singers of the second half of the 20th century. His definitive versions of so many songs, especially Stranger in Paradise and I Left My Heart in San Francisco, are part of the memories of practically anyone born before 1950. This album brings together the favourites and is one I shall keep in the car to make every journey that bit pleasanter.

Toni Braxton received generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Ron Wynn from Allmusic found that her debut had Braxton, "an elegant and earthy songstress, nicely balancing those seemingly divergent sentiments [...] Braxton's husky, enticing voice sounds hypnotic, dismayed, and disillusioned [...] but she's never out of control, indignant, or so anguished and hurt that she fails to retain her dignity." He rated the album four and a half stars out of five. Los Angeles Times critic Connie Johnson gave Toni Braxton three ouf of four stars, and wrote: "Sounding like an unlikely hybrid of Phyllis Hyman, Anita Baker and Tracy Chapman, Braxton’s sultry, earthy delivery makes her a standout in today’s R&B arena." Similarly, People found that "when Braxton slides into her lower register she echoes Anita Baker, and when she skips around the higher notes there’s also a hint of Whitney Houston. The influences are there, but Toni Braxton is most definitely her own woman. On this sophisticated, stylish and soulful album, she slates her case."

Secrets is the second studio album by American singer Toni Braxton. It was released on June 18, 1996, by LaFace Records and Arista Records.

Worldwide, the album has sold over 15 million copies. In support of the album, Braxton embarked on the Secrets Tour, playing dates in North America and Europe from August 1996 to October 1997.

‘Brotherhood Of The Snake’ – это классический Testament 80-х в современном звучании. Такого быстрого и тяжелого альбома у группы, пожалуй, ещё не было. Любители Bay Area thrash по достоинству оценят ‘Stronghold’, ‘Centuries Of Suffering’, ‘Canna Business’ и ‘The Number Game’. Песня ‘Seven Seals’ – настоящий эпический шедевр с библейским текстом и потрясающим музыкальным сопровождением – гитары и вокал действительно завораживают.
