Product Description
Product Description
War Child has spent the last three months inviting the best British artists to contribute brand new tracks to a unique on and off-line music project. The bands involved are Radiohead, Razorlight, Gorillaz, Keane and Faultline, Kaiser Chiefs, Magic Numbers, Manic Street Preachers, Zutons, Bloc Party, Antony and the Johnsons, The Coral, Damien Rice, Elbow, Maximo Park, Mylo, Hard-Fi, Emmanuel Jal, Tinariwen, Go! Team, Belle & Sebastian.
Each band has recorded a brand new track--no remixes, no b-sides, no 'versions'--for the project, and did so in 24 hours bridging the 8th and 9th September.
Funds raised by the charity's deal with Independiente Records will immediately go to their projects in Iraq and DR Congo. Further funds, profile and membership raised will go to maintain these projects and others in countries such as Afghanistan and Bosnia over the coming months.

The best compilation album of the year,
By
This review is from: Warchild: Help - A Day In The Life Of (Audio CD)
I bought this album on download upon its Internet release and have played nothing else since. Good compilations are a mix of the familiar and the unusual, and this is a BRILLIANT compilation. There are a few cover versions - Kaiser Chiefs' version of Heard it through the grapevine is the stand-out cover - but every piece of original material deserves credit.Elbow, Babyshambles and Bloc Party, bands I previously had little time for, are a revelation, but the two outstanding tracks are by artists I had no previous knowledge of: Belle & Sebastian and Emanual Jal. They are melodic and pack a lyrical punch. By highlighting these tracks I do the others an injustice: everyone will have different favourites but the best thing that can be said is that the album is more than the sum of its parts and the 22 tracks just fly by. Money well spent, and hopefully, well used by this worthy cause.

24hrs - This is talent!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Warchild: Help - A Day In The Life Of (Audio CD)
Bought the Album as soon as it was released and it was beyond expectations! Radiohead was the track everyone was excited for hearing and its touching and magical! Kasier Chiefs cover is absolute brilliant, although not their biggest fan this is 'the track' of the album! Razorlight, Maximo, Elbow Bloc Party & Hard Fi's track are awsome, George & Antony's cover of Happy Xmas has their unique and brilliant style, and Pete D's track is classic Babyshambles (Brill)! Magic Numbers track is lovely, Go! Team also ace! And the rest are just as good.... A must must buy, shows what true talent can do in 24hrs and its all for a good cause!

Misleading title,
By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Warchild: Help - A Day In The Life Of (Audio CD)
Using 2 Beatles' titles without any sign of a Lennon McCartney cover is not a good idea and this CD would have been even better if it had been nothing but cover versions
