Of course Boney M were masters of dance in the late 1970's and early 1980's, but they did have some hits with ballads too. This collection includes the hits El Lute, Neil Young's Heart of Gold, Little Drummer Boy, Mary's Boy Child, I See A Boat On The River and of course their massive hit Rivers of Babylon (Originally done by The Melodians). But it's not really representative of their best music which included red-hot rabble rousing dancefloor sizzlers like Brown Girl In The Ring, Daddy Cool, Belfast and Ma Baker. To get all their best work together, I recommend The Greatest Hits album. Still, this collection is pleasant enough as an enjoyable memento of 70's/80's Europop in the Abba vein.

I first became a fan of the Boney M in the 1970's. They are outstanding. I have a large collection of their musoic and will continue to add to it. This is a "must" to own, with their earliest to lastest.

This review is from: Their Most Beautiful Ballads (Audio CD)

This is a CD chocked full of the slower Boney M songs, starting down with an chopped-up way-too edited version of The Carnival Is Over, a song way too good to deny in its complete form. I highly recommend the 2 CD Greatest Hits import where you can enjoy the complete unabridged version of the abovementioned song. Although I enjoyed their rendition of "Heart of Gold" and the Christmas tunes, this collection is one of the weaker Boney M compilations. Boney M was such an awesome group, but they have so many other CDs that reign over this one!
