Knebworth 1996 Standard Edition [Blu-spec CD2]OasisOasis Live at Knebworth 1996.I have never bought a Blu-spec CD before the sound quality of this cd is superb. This was Oasis at the top of their game they were massive in England and these shows were the talk of the town and even made the BBC news. The whole recording is brilliant from start to finish, the setlist cannot be faulted, the band clearly show how tight they were as the sound was incredible. Liam's voice was spot on right the way through, if you love Oasis this is a must. The Blu-spec cd is nicely presented in a extra wide jewel case with a large OBI strip.

Greatest Hits [Blu-spec CD2] [Regular Edition] [Japan Bonus Track]Avril LavigneEverything ok!If I have to talk about this album I'm very disappointed, because it's just a collection of previous recordings with nothing new and interesting added to the tracklist. Basically, a money grab. Talking about the CDJapan service, it's flawless as always! The packaging was perfect as always, swift shipping and the overall service is amazing. Thank you so much!

A View From The Top Of The World Japan Limited Edition [Blu-spec CD2] [w/ Blu-ray, Limited Edition]Dream TheaterA View From The Top Of The WorldDream Theater’s fifteenth studio album, "A View From The Top Of The World," released in October 2021, exemplifies the band's signature blend of complex compositions, virtuosic performances, and thematic depth. Opening with "The Alien," the band immediately sets a high bar. The track is a whirlwind of intricate riffs, rapid tempo changes, and stellar solos, showcasing the technical prowess of John Petrucci on guitar and Jordan Rudess on keyboards. James LaBrie's vocals soar over the complex arrangement, adding a layer of melodic accessibility. "Answering The Call" follows with a powerful blend of heavy and melodic elements, anchored by John Myung’s intricate bass lines and Mike Mangini’s precise drumming. The track's dynamic range and emotive delivery highlight Dream Theater’s ability to blend technicality with genuine feeling. "Invisible Monster" and "Sleeping Giant" offer a balance between complexity and groove. "Invisible Monster" features catchy hooks and a memorable chorus, while "Sleeping Giant" delves into atmospheric passages that build into a powerful crescendo, illustrating the band’s knack for storytelling through music. The title track "A View From The Top Of The World," is a masterclass in progressive composition. This epic track seamlessly weaves through multiple sections, each showcasing different facets of the band’s talent. From hauntingly beautiful melodies to explosive instrumental sections, the song is a journey in itself, reflecting the band's creative ambition and cohesion. "Transcending Time" and "Awaken The Master" continue to highlight the band’s versatility. "Transcending Time" offers a more uplifting, almost nostalgic vibe, reminiscent of the band’s earlier works, while "Awaken The Master" features some of the album’s heaviest and most intricate moments, driven by Mangini’s thunderous drumming and Petrucci’s razor-sharp riffs. Throughout "A View From The Top Of The World," Dream Theater demonstrates why they are regarded as pioneers in progressive metal. The album’s production is polished, allowing each member’s contributions to shine without overshadowing the collective sound. In summary, "A View From The Top Of The World" is a testament to Dream Theater’s enduring legacy and their ability to push the boundaries of progressive metal.

Mariah Carey [Blu-spec CD2]Mariah CareyBest Debut AlbumBest album of an artist ever. Mariah pathed the way for so many, inspired most of these now famous artists. She showed the world what she is worth of, even 34 years later she still sells out venues. A young Mariah back in 1990 only had her voice to stand up, and she won. A must have if you really appreciate vocals, lyrics & music with soul!
