Customer Review: Worth learning French for!
French combo Superbus’ second album, and for those who like strong pop melodies underpinned with hard-edge guitar work, the album’s a treat. The lyrics are mostly in French (which work best) with some in English, occasionally lapsing into cliche here and there, but rhythmically they mostly do their stuff. Charismatic frontwoman Jennifer Ayache has certainly done her pop homework, and you can detect the results of her extended stay in the US with the influences of SUM 41 and BLINK 182 well to the fore, but there’s enough gallic pezzazz there to give this group its own unique sound. The instrumentalists are tight and well drilled, and know all the tricks in the book without detracting from the songs themselves. Check out 2006’s ‘Wow’ CD which reveals an even more polished sound, and one cracker of a single, ‘Lola’, that fuses a eurovision-style chorus with disco rhythms and grungy guitars. The view across the Channel has never looked better!

Customer Review: A must-have for those who crave women voices
“Pop pop” is not just another Rickie Lee Jones album. The combination of her peculiar, nasal, almost childish voice with the minimalism of Charlie Haden’s bass and Robben Ford’s acoustic nylon guitar creates a dreamy framework for an unforgettable recreation of several standards. The overall mood of the album is very intimate and light but at the same time deeply involving. Sound quality is very good, capturing both Rickie’s husky voice and the space where the instruments are playing, literally transporting you to the studio where the reording was made. There are times when you _hear_ Rickie smiling while singing, such is the palpability of the recording. The album is very balanced throughout, no song is really bad. Strongly recommended : probably one of my 20 “desert island” CDs.

8 Meg Memory Licensed Customer Review: Alternative Memory Card
Well what is there to say about a memory card? As long as they hold the data and offer the same load and save speeds as the official Sony products, then why not save some cash on it?!
I have found that this product does in fact work just as well as the Sony line of Memory cards. And to boot it comes in real purdy colors.
Customer Review: A DECENT MEMORY CARD
Its not as good as the authentic psx 2 memory cards, but if you want to save a couple of quid then this is the memory card for you. So far mine has been perfect, and loaded and saved just as quickly as my mates official one. With the old playstation I found that the unofficial memory cards sometimes wiped themselves, but that hasnt happened to me so far, and hopefully it wont. Only 4 stars though, because the official one looks better in your playstation.
