Carnival In Babylon

Amon Düü II's follow-up to their landmark double-LP set Tanz der Lemminge features a musical approach less experimental than previous recordings, but nonetheless distinctive and broad-reaching in its sphere of influences. The almost epic tack of the earlier works has been pared down here, but full-forward, guitar-heavy tracks like "C.I.D. in Uruk," "Ballad of the Shimmering Sands," and "Kronwinkl 12" use disparate folk and hard rock elements cannily. The band moves the music with a majestic sweep punctuated by the snaky guitar work of Chris Karrer and John Weinzierl.

Crimson Gold presents Boney M. 'Gold', the only compilation you'll ever need. Boney M. Was one of the most successful pop groups of the 1970s, selling over 100 million Records worldwide and charting 3 consecutive no. 1 albums. With their catchy tunes and flamboyant performances, their worldwide hits are a constant feature at weddings and parties. This 3CD collection is a definitive career spanning set from 1976 through to updated mixes in 2010. Boney M. 'Gold' Contains 49 tracks, with a remarkable 15 top 40 UK singles - ten top 10 hits - including their double-million-selling no. 1 hits 'Rivers of Babylon'/'Brown girl in the ring' And 'Mary's Boy child'/'oh my Lord', 'Daddy cool', 'sunny', 'Ma Baker', 'rasputin', 'hooray! Hooray! It's a holi-holiday' And 'gotta go home'.

3 CD set that encapsulates the European chart toppers hits thru the decades. Like Milli Vannilli after them, producer Frank Farian supplied the male voice while DJ/ dancer Bobby Farrell provided the face. CD1 features their 70's hits including 'Ma Baker', 'Rivers of Babylon' and more. CD2 has their 80s hits like 'Boonoonoonoos', 'We Kill the World' and others. CD3 features a selection of great 12 remixes.

Of course Boney M were masters of dance in the late 1970's and early 1980's, but they did have some hits with ballads too. This collection includes the hits El Lute, Neil Young's Heart of Gold, Little Drummer Boy, Mary's Boy Child, I See A Boat On The River and of course their massive hit Rivers of Babylon (Originally done by The Melodians). But it's not really representative of their best music which included red-hot rabble rousing dancefloor sizzlers like Brown Girl In The Ring, Daddy Cool, Belfast and Ma Baker. Still, this collection is pleasant enough as an enjoyable memento of 70's/80's Europop in the Abba vein.
