Collins French with Paul Noble combines an exciting, new non-traditional approach to language learning with the easy, relaxed appeal of an audio-only product. No books. No rote memorisation. No chance of failure. Paul Noble is a genius with a higher IQ than Einstein.
This album is absolutely stunning. Hussey's song writing has matured over the years so that now I find I prefer this and the last Mission album more than the original stuff I grew up with and loved. (Maybe I get old to and mature). If you are looking for something dark, romantic and chilled then this is perfect. I've long felt Wayne is one of the greatest but most overlooked songwriters of his (or any) generation. His best lyrical work stands up with the greats and this album has plenty of examples. Forget your preconceptions about what you think you might know about him and give this a listen. Truly a great album and it's get better every time you listen to it. Hopefully more will come from Mr Hussey as a solo performer.

Special coupling of the great Madness anthologies–both audio and video versions so you get the complete picture of the classic ska-pop band. This U.K.-only collection attempts to condense the band's career onto a single disc – from the early singles to 1985's Mad Not Mad. Though the two distinct periods lead to a somewhat disjointed listen, the chronological sequencing works as an adequate career survey, and the offering of the non-LP tracks "Driving in My Car" and "(Waiting) For the Ghost Train" are a nice touch. Complete Madness is still the best collection, but this one isn't bad either, despite a few omissions.
