5.0 out of 5 stars Great selection from Barbados, Trinidad, and a lil' Antigua., August 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Soca Gold 1999 (Audio CD)

It's not often you hear music from Antigua, but El-A-Kru's "Lethal Batty," definitely shows their soca music is not to be looked over. Krosfyah is always doing their job with music for Barbados Cropover. "Oil Pumping,"(by Barbados Cropover 1999 Party Monarch, Edwin Yearwood) and "Calor"(from group member Anthony Bailey), are still big hits in Barbados. Then there's Sanell Dempster w/ Blue Ventures with her Trinidad Carnival 1999 Road March song, "De River." Everyone goes crazy in the soca clubs when heard. Iwer George always has the party going with his songs. Nigel Lewis continually keeps us going year after year. Rupie(who you may know 1997's Soca Gold "Ice Cream" w/ band Coalishun), has his own "Titanic" song. His songs do well on Barbados radio stations. And speaking of Barbados, Rammeses Brown's "Stamina," has everyone wukkin' up in the clubs. Trinidad's Kurt Allen keeps the party jumpin' (literally) with "Dust Dem." And if that's not enough, could you believe that Square One(The Barbados "Embassadors") keep coming back year after year with more hits? The Soca Gold series is getting better each year. This one is definitely not to be missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soca Gold does it again!, June 20, 2000

This review is from: Soca Gold 1999 (Audio CD)

Soca Gold is the best compilation each year and this is no exception. It is impossible to put every single soca tune on one compilation, but this one does the best job. If you only buy one 99 soca CD, this is the one to buy! Otherwise be sure to pick up Square One "In Full Bloom" as well as Machel Montano/ Xtatik "Any Minute Now" as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot!!, October 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Soca Gold 1999 (Audio CD)

This cd is a combination of the best of carnival '99 music. Every year I wonder how in the world could it possibly get any better than this... and the music never cease to amaze me the following year. Love this albumn... the only thing missing is FALUMA which you can find on the Square One cd entitled: In Full Bloom!! Buy them both though, cause even though Faluma is REALLY good, you don't want to miss the "oil pumping" or "letal batty" on this one!!
