Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Say what you like about BBC Radio 1, its DJs or its playlists, they’re definitely getting one thing right through their commitment to live music--particularly with regards to the often quirky fruits that tumble forth from its Live Lounge. Volume 3 of the double CD collections from these sessions arrives packed with more than enough in the way of gems to offset the few inevitable run-of-the-mill single performances. Those justifying the format when modifying their own tracks include Kasabian working "Sympathy for the Devil" into "LSF", Duffy bringing some grit to a stripped down "Mercy", absent as she’s trotted it out endlessly elsewhere, and a bare, emotional "Daddy’s Gone" from Glasvegas. The real value of the set though is found in amongst Girls Aloud’s sensitive version of "With Every Heartbeat" (originally by Robyn), Ida Maria’s feisty "Sweet About Me" (Gabriella Cilmi), REM sketching "Munich" (Editors) out with mandolin refinement, Kate Nash absolutely owning a cute, giddy "Fluorescent Adolescent" (Arctic Monkeys), Goldfrapp’s haunting "It’s Not Over Yet" (Grace--made famous again by Klaxons), Santogold’s paranoid and chilling take on "Hometown Glory" (Adele) and Bat for Lashes’ pulsing, minimalist "Sweet Dreams" (Eurhythmics). If you’re looking for one single convincing reason to own this though, look no further than Dizzee Rascal’s bench-press solid, somersault swaggering, air-punching attitude-laden re-jigging of the Ting Tings’ "That’s Not My Name". It’s enough to justify the licence fee. --James Berry

5.0 out of 5 stars another winner from jo whiley!, 10 Oct 2008

By	Easy Tiger - See all my reviews

i got a promo of this album to review and it's every bit as good as the previous two. maybe a bit better than the last one. the ting tings track is a highlight, as is pendulum, and dizzee rascal. there's an old gem on there from athlete - a beautiful version of 'wires'. all the big acts from this year are present - duffy, adele, elbow, glasvegas, the script (covering eminem's 'lose yourself') and scouting for girls.
get it, and you won't regret it...

4.0 out of 5 stars good as always but..., 22 Oct 2008

By	barney73 "barney73" (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews

... where is the absolutely brilliant version of Run by Leona Lewis? Radio One were forever playing it after she came into the studio to do a Live Lounge session and I was convinced they would put it on their next album. I waited a year for the possibility of having it on this cd but it isn't here. The only real letdown. Good to see The Ting Ting's Standing in the Way of Control laced with Snaps's The Power! Awesome track. Buy this album for this alone!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great present, 8 Feb 2009

By	S. M. Oxley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Live Lounge 3 [CD + DVD] (Audio CD)

A well appreciated eagerly awaited present for 17 year old granson, his dad was keen to watch and listen too, so popular choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good listening
A great album, with loads of different bands making it a verstaile and easy listen - great songs!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Not much to write home about here. A lot of weak covers and other dross. If you aren't a regular Radio 1 listener (Radio 6 is more my cup of tea), then probably one to avoid.
