Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
With the 80s back catalogue a bare-bone carcass having been plundered beyond recognition by brands such as School Disco and Friends Reunited, the time has come to move onto the next sequential decade: the 90s. Friends Reunited: The 90s is a double CD from the age that brought us Blur, Oasis, Take That and the Spice Girls--not that any of them are featured here.

Disc one is party anthems and sing-along favourites such as "the sound of the student union", "Sit Down" by James, "Common People" by Pulp and the sugar-sweet "Love Fool" by The Cardigans. Disc two includes the decade's big ballads with monster hits from Sinead O'Connor ("Nothing Compares 2 U"), Wet Wet Wet ("Love is All Around"), Shakespear's Sister ("Stay"), All Saints ("Never Ever") and last but not least, East 17 and their not-so-tough Christmas hit "Stay Now". As a retrospective of an era, Friends Reunited: The 90s is not that bad, but not that good either. --Georgina Collins

4.0 out of 5 stars Friends Reunited 90's, 20 Dec 2003
By N. Jones "neiljones1981" (West Midlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is the second Friends Reunited CD, trying to cash in on the success of the first one. The question is, is this album anywhere near as good as the first one?

If I'm honest - no it isn't. Just as Duran Duran, Tears for Fears and various others shaped 1980s music, the presence of Take That shaped the early to mid 1990's so far as 90's pop was concerned. The thing is, Duran Duran and Tears for Fears feature on FriendsReunited's 80's album - Take That don't feature on this one. The Spice Girls as well, took the charts by storm in 1996 but they don't feature on here either.

Other artists on this album include Gabrielle, Jazzy Jeff, Texas, New Kids On The Block, East 17 and, for some reason, S Club 7. But just as the 80s album from the same people leaned towards the mid to early 1980s, this album tends to lean towards the mid to late 1990's. Steps, for example. Jamiroquai. Backstreet Boys. Lighthouse family. All bands from after 1995.

There are only a handful of tunes from before 1994 - a quick run-down reveals a total of just 11 out of 40. Add to this two turkeys - Toni Braxton's slow, boring version of Unbreak My Heart - the faster radio version I've yet to see on any compilation CD eight years after I first heard it. The other turkey is Jazzy Jeff - his first hit (Boom Shake The Room) was much more memorable than Summertime IMO.

Gems on this: What's Up by the 4 Non Blondes. This song has had the "Ain't Nobody" treatment done to it over the years - that is to say, it's been covered goodness knows how many times by goodness knows how many artists over the years. The 4 Non Blondes version is my favourite interpretation of the song, and I was pleased to find it on this CD, a hidden bonus.

Other highlights include Love Is All Around by Wet Wet Wet - this song, in the summer of 1994, threatened to smash Bryan Adams' record for the longest number of weeks at number one in the charts. That lasted 16 weeks, this one lasted 15. So it must have been good. Also look out for the Lighthouse Family, All 4 One and Dee-Lite, as well as the legendary classic Sinead O'Connor song, Nothing Compares 2 U.

Four stars for this, two reasons: 1) ring-tones adverts on the inlay (tones that I can't use on my phone anyway) and 2) Album tendency to lean towards mid to late 90's, which renders it pretty much identical to one of the Now That's What I Call Music albums from the late 1990's.

3.0 out of 5 stars friends reunited 90s, 6 Oct 2003
By rachel (wales) - See all my reviews
Good mix of tunes, but where are the cheesy Take That tracks which defined the early 90s for most of us then fans? OK so some of their tunes are pure cheese, but so was this time of our lives!
