Advantages: High-energy groove-dance-rock-funk music - fantastic band! Disadvantages: Mostly their old stuff - I'd like to hear some of their new songs live.
This DVD is of Northern funksters The Music at their 2003 tour's homecoming gig at The Blank Canvas, Leeds. Through the clouds of smoke (dry ice?), coloured lights and oceans of waving arms and flailing crowd-surfers, we see the young dance-rock crew struttin' their groovy stuff across the stage. The first thing that struck me (as I have never seen them live before... hopefully I'll get to see them one day...) was how much their songs sounded like the studio versions: I'd always thought that a lot of the sounds on their debut album "The Music" required assistance from drum machines, synths, keyboards etc., but they don't.

This is their third Studio album and comes two years after the success of "Place Your Hands" and seems to highlight the start of the decline that seen Reef become the forgotten band.
Recorded just two years after the bands second album Glow, Rides is perhaps an album that should have been a lot bigger than it actually was. The Somerset 4 piece had been steadily growing in stature with their first two albums but the third album ...

This first ride on toy from the EL C is a really good toy / we have one at my works.
This light blue vehicle has 4 green wheels, a yellow seat that lifts so you can stow away your teddy or anything else for that matter. The orange steering wheel is on a stem and has a yellow hooter that works. On the front of the ride on there is a There is an orange badge with a yellow flower like emblem on it. Behind the seat there is an orange handle good for a back rest or for mummy or daddy, or in my case teach assistant to push makes the going easier.
Now this toy is suitable for a child aged between 1 and 3 years old. Now your tot is sat on it, feet firmly on the floor look comfortable. How does he/she make it move well they push it along with their feet sort of scooting it along? A tot of 1 has not yet got the co-ordination for pedals so ...
