The UK does it the best.......2005-08-04
Now's are brilliant. 16th april 2004........2004-04-17
Two Nations Separated By A Music Compilation Series.......2004-04-07
1.Black Eyed Peas feat. Justin Timberlake"Where Is The Love?"A.Rap has a very negative image,here is a song that addresses world issues and opposes violence.
6.Beyonce feat. Jay-Z"Crazy In Love"A+.This song is catchy, addictive,stormin' and one of,if not the,best song of 2003.
10.Lumidee"Never Leave You(uh ooh,uh ooh!)"D.How in the hell did this song ever make the top 10,or for that matter the top 1000! Stupid,pointless and on of 2003's worst songs.
11.Stacie Orrico"Stuck"B-.A decent pop tune,although it does get a little annoying.
24.Justin Timberlake"Rock Your Body"A-.This is the best dance song of the year,cool and very well done.
26.Nickelback"Someday"A-.A very well done rock track,not as good as "How You Remind Me" though. Some songs just can't be equaled.
31.50 Cent feat. Nate Dogg"21 Questions"B.Another good song from the hottest new rap artist.Once again Nate Dogg contributes alot to the track.
32.Ashanti"Rock Wit U(Awww Baby)"B+.This is just a great song to relax to.Light,catchy and easing;the song is nothing but fun.
33.Joe Budden"Pump It Up"B+.Not my favorite rap song,but still it is very good and really catchy.Joe Budden deserves more recognition than he gets.
Although I have not heard the other songs,I can assure you that the tracks from Kylie Minouge,Elton John and Daniel Bedingfield will be terrific. Just as the songs from Atomic Kitten and Blue will be complete crap.
Bottom Line:**1/2. So I give the album 2.5 stars,mainly because I was so unfairly harsh on "NOW 55".I suppose that it is all based on what is popular in the two nations.Just picture what would happen if the two series joined together...we would have the best compilation album EVER recorded! So in closing,if you want Dance/Pop,buy "NOW 56"(U.K.). But if you want R&B/Hip Hop,then buy "NOW 14"(U.S.). Make your choice!
Now 55 Was Better but 56 still has some great songs.......2003-12-28
1. BEP: Where Is The Love? (B+) I rated this song on Now 14. Great song, teaches nice values (though many don't want that in a rap song, too bad for them)
2. Rachel Stevens: Sweet Dreams (B) Heheh. Nice song. Great new voice. Maybe she'll return in Now 57. I doubt it.
3. Kylie Minogue: Slow (C+) She has made MUCH MUCH better songs.
4. Blue: Guilty (C) Nice chorus but everything else is blah.
5. Fatman Scoop: Be Faithful (B+) This proves that all the crazy people out there can make good music.
6. Beyonce & JayZ: Crazy In Love (B-) This song is making me crazy right now. Where is BABY BOY?
7. Sugababes: Hole in the Head (B+) Their best song. Nice disco-type song. Better than "shape" on Now 55.
8. LibertyX: Jumpin (C+) Whatever.
9. Jamelia: Superstar (C+) Whatever, Ayo ayo.
10. Lumidee: Never Leave You REMIX (B-) Uh oh, uh oh, bad song!
11. Stacie Orrico: Stuck (B) "More To Life" is a better song but "stuck" is pretty good. Stacie is talented.
12. Lemar: Dance With You (C+) Good voice, bad song.
13. Javine: Surrender your Love (C+) Yet again, Javine, whatever.
14. Emma: Maybe (B) Nice song.
15. S Club 8: Sundown (B) Cool one.
16. Ultrabeat: Pretty Green Eyes (B-) Annoying but good beat.
17. Sophie Ellis-Bextor: Mixed Up World (B-) Cool one.
18. Phixx: Hold On Me (C+) Whatever.
19. DSide: Invisible (B-) Surprisingly, Clay did it much better.
20. Louise: Pandora's Kiss (C) WHATEVER.
21. Girls Aloud: Life Got Cold (B-) They need advice.
22. Atomic Kitten: If You Come To Me (C+) Ugh, bad.
CDTWO
1. Elton John: Are You Ready For Love (B-) Has better songs. Catchy, though.
2. Justin Timberlake: Rock Your Body (D) Did not fail because it is catchy.
3. Robbie Williams: Something Beautiful (B+) Nope. Not too good.
4. Nickelback: Someday (A-) GREAT SONG.
5. Busted: Sleeping With The Light On (B+) Good song, actually.
6. Mark Owen: 4 Minute Warning (A-) GREAT SONG. Nice western feel. I eagerly await his next songs.
7. Amy Studt: Under The Thumb (B+) Still, Amy has got the good songs. "Misfit" was better but this song still shows her talent.
8. Texas feat. Kardinall Offishall: Carnival Girl (B-) Good intro music but the rest of the song slips.
9. 50 Cent & Nate Dogg: 21 Questions (B) Still's got good rap songs.
10. Ashanti: Aww Baby (B) The ultamite chillout song.
11. Joe Budden: Pump It Up (B-) OLD! (and bad)
12. Jamieson: Complete (B-) Slow & fast, good & kind of bad.
13. Lisa Scott-Lee: Too Far Gone (B) Still has the talent from "Lately". Listening to this one is worth it for the "oh"s.
14. Angel City & Laura Mcallen: Love Me Right (B+) Great vocals, cool beat, fun song overall.
15. Richard X & Kelis: Finest Dreams (B-) This not the finest, the finest, I've seen... I would have chosen "milkshake"
16. Rishi Rich feat. Juggy D & Jay Sean: Dance With You/Nachna Tere Naal (A-) Cool music, cool rappin' style, three Bhangra songs on a NOW album in a row. Cool!
17. UB40 & UCOS: Swing Low (D-) The #1 Most annoying, Dumbest, the worst song on this album, or Now 55, or 54, or 53, 52, 51, etc. It didn't fail because the background music is OK.
18. Starsailor: Silence Is Easy (B-) Whatever. Nice rock music.
19. Stereophonics: Maybe Tomorrow (C+) Whatever! Maybe tomorrow.
20. Daniel Bedingfield: Never Gonna Leave Your Side (B+) Nice lyrics. Atmospheric music. Shows Daniel's true talent.
21. Michael Andrews & Gary Jules: Mad World (C) Sad, both meanings used.
Overall, this album gets a (B-). Still one of the better NOW albums, taking away the TERRIBLE "swing low" song. It makes "rock your body" look like the ultimate song. Other than those two stinkers, buy this album, skipping CDTWO's Tracks 2 & 17. Got that? CDTWO still stands out as the best cd on this album. YEAH ashley abram, again, you've been makin' great compilations. i'll be there to review the 57th installment.
Great CD!.......2003-12-27

Customer Reviews:
Too beautiful for words.......2004-05-25
Guitar History.......2004-02-15
(although purists and I suspect Bream himself would say rather unconventionally), but most of all, Bream plays MUSIC. This is very, very important. There are many fine guitarists around today, but I doubt any could match Bream's sheer musicality when these recordings were made.
This 28 CD box set is a lesson in music making, regardless of what instrument is being played. The recordings are the complete RCA Bream catalogue from 1959 to 1989. If you can find the complete box set or even any of the individual volumes, I suggest you make the purchase. (Shame on RCA and BMG for not keeping this box set and "all" the individual volumes in print.)
Some of the higlights of Breams remarkable talent are his
interpretations of Britten's "Nocturnal", Walton's "Five Bagatelles", the instrumental and vocal works (with tenor Peter Pears) of Dowland, the "first" complete guitar works of Villa-Lobos, a thorough history of the guitar in Spain from the Renaissance to the Present on period instruments, plus all the works that have become classical guitar standards by Bach, Sor, Giuliani, Albeniz, Rodrigo, plus the "new" standards by Brouwer, Arnold, Berkeley, Britten, Walton, etc.
Music making of this caliber is rare indeed. Buy it if you can find it. Good Luck !
