Marcy MP2106 Deluxe Multigym

Marcy Burialground

Advantages: When in the right mood, a few of the tracks could be mildly entertaining.
Disadvantages: Depressing and monotonous.

Some of you may remember the MTV show 'Up For It' with Eddy Temple-Morris and Zane Lowe. As well as call-in sections and the usual comedy stunts, they showed live performances by bands that were supposedly about to break into the commercial scene. As far as I can remember, not many bands actually made it. Marcy Playground, along with Drugstore and Headswim, stayed firmly on the brink of mainstream. ‘Sex and Candy’ their first and only single released from this eponymous album is the definite standout track. Although quite beautiful compared to the other tracks, it is not really anything special. The song has a much softer feel to it than say ‘Saint Joe on the School Bus’ which, according to the sleeve, ‘is about being picked on’. However, I think it speaks for itself and wonder why that is ...

Review of Marcy Playground - Marcy Playground

Vax - rewriting the definition of "deluxe"

Advantages: It cleans what it is supposed to
Disadvantages: Poor design and quality

I've owned this carpet cleaner with upholstery attachment for nearly exactly two years, when purchased it was on offer at £69.99, currently £81.74 (RRP £149.99)at amazon. The first and probably most important thing I would say about this cleaner is don't pay £149.99 or you may be disappointed.

What you get The Vax VO26 came in quite a compact box. The first task on opening the box is actually to assemble the cleaner. Now call me fussy but for an item with "deluxe ...

Review of VAX V 026 Rapide Deluxe

Marcy Playground

Advantages: this album is a quality piece of musical creation
Disadvantages: the pace can sometimes be a bit slow

When I first heard 'Marcy Playground', it was as a throbbing beat coming from the room next door. I went to complain and to borrow the album. On the first listen I thought that only 'Sex and Candy' was the saving grace of the album, but on re - listening to the tracks I have come to appreciate every one as an original musical experience. The music is very chilled and relaxed although the theme of the lyrics can be somewhat disturbing, for example, vampires and suicide. However, this album is perfect for listening to when chilling out on the sofa or for playing whilst you work. 'Marcy Playground' is an album which requires a certain amount of atmosphere to meet it's full potential, however, it should not be missed from anyone's music collection. ...
