Compilation released by Mushroom Records in 1993 consisting of artists signed to them - the majority of these tunes are from the 1980s and this release is a great starting point for people who wish to explore the Top 40 scene in Australia in the 70s and 80s. It also contains Kylie Minogue's first ever single (a cover of "Locomotion").
Contains lots of very catchy and easy-to-dance-to tracks, including an interesting remake of Deodato's classic "Also Spracht Zarathustra" as well as a good rendition of classics like "Aquelas Coisas Todas" and "Chove Chuva". Quality package compiled by Dingwalls stalwart DJ Patrick Forge.
For many their first encounter with classical music will be through its use in films and this collection makes a fantastic entry point to this rich and diverse world. Helpfully all tracks list the films alongside the music, so there will be no doubt as to where the music is familiar from. Classical music has been used to memorable effect in films many times from Ride of the Valkyries in Apocalypse Now to Barber s Adagio in Platoon and from Also sprach Zarathustra in 2001: A Space Odyssey to Beethoven s Ninth in A Clockwork Orange. Occasionally, as in the case of Mozart s Piano Concerto No.21 used in Elvira Madigan, the film title has provided a lasting nickname for the music. All these favourites are included here.
The Tibetan Freedom Concert was the largest rock charity event of 1997, a two-day event held in June that featured many of the biggest names in rock and rap. Appropriately, it was filmed and recorded with the intention of being released later in the year as a charity record. The triple-disc set, The Tibetan Freedom Concert, is the extraordinary document of that weekend, containing one performance apiece from the 36 artists who appeared at the concert.
