Compilation
CDs
don’t
always
go out
of their
way
to have
a point
(besides
flogging
you
a stack
of recent
radio
favourites).
Many
are
dedicated
to certain
time
periods
like
the
endless
stream
of ‘80s
collections.
In the
case
of “1”,
you
get
58 tracks
on three
discs,
representing
the
music
video
generation
from
around
1978
to 2006.
The
Pop,
Rock,
Hip-Hop,
Rap,
Vocal,
Alternative,
Breakbeat
and
Boyband
songs
selected
cover
a variety
of big
names.
Everything
from
Madonna,
The
Police,
Dire
Straits,
U2,
Cher,
Alice
Cooper,
Fleetwood
Mac,
Phil
Collins,
Prince,
Foreigner,
James
Blunt,
The
Killers,
Outkast,
Duran
Duran,
R.E.M.,
Alanis
Morissette,
Dr.
Dre,
Meatloaf,
and
Jane’s
Addiction
are
here.
As well
as Coldplay,
k.d.
lang,
Björk,
Coolio,
Muse,
Take
That,
Eric
Clapton,
Beastie
Boys,
Hole,
Limp
Bizkit,
De La
Soul,
Moby,
Pussycat
Dolls,
Kiss,
Simply
Red,
James
Morisson,
Faith
No More,
Nelly
and
more.
Purists
may
however
find
it a
shocker
to listen
to Britney
Spears
sandwiched
between
Fatboy
Slim
and
Tori
Amos(!).
The
diverse
selection
does
represent
a wide
range
of bands
and
artists,
but
naturally
cannot
claim
to be
the
definitive
representative
for
the
vast
three
decade
period
it covers,
with
a few
obvious
omissions
being
Pink
Floyd,
Bob
Marley,
Metallica,
Michael
Jackson
and
Depeche
Mode.
But
as is
customary
with
compilations,
they
often
become
a series,
so don’t
be surprised
if more
chapters
in the
“1”
series
pop
up on
a regular
basis.
All-in-all
a fine
package,
also
available
on DVD
with
40 music
video
clips
(some
not
featured
on this
CD set).
