If music be the food of love, then record companies must think it's a good idea to stuff our faces full of it hence The Love Album Classics, one of many that seem to surface around early February. We're talking about love songs of course, the stirring, heartfelt tunes that score countless relationships while soundtracking a million subsequent break ups. This middle of the road collection holds few surprises, peddling out a fairly innocuous stream of cupid's favourites. If you want love's tried and tested, then look no further. Nicole Kidman and Robbie William's sugary take on "Something Stupid" says it all really, sitting dreamily next to hardy perennials like Sinead O' Connor's tear-stained "Nothing Compares 2 U", school disco favourite "True" and the histrionic "Without You" from Nilsson. There's a few gems amongst the dross, though, with smoochers from Al Green, Bill Withers and Bobby Gentry's defiant weepie, "I'll Never Fall In Love Again". Prescient advice perhaps. -Paul Tierney.

With so many Ibiza compilations on the shelves, it's sometimes good to have some sort of quality guarantee. This high standard is something the Ministry of Sound aims to deliver with its Annual series. The Ministry's third Ibiza Annual provides 44 tracks which will be given the seal of approval of most lovers of hard house and tuneful trance. It's hard not to feel uplifted after listening to Sonique's "It Feels So Good" which opens proceedings on the first CD. Favourite moments include a remake of Baby D's early 1990s classic "I Need Your Lovin' (Like the Sunshine)" from Marc et Claude, the hypnotic beauty of "Atmosphere" from Kayestone and "You Take My Breath Away" by SuReal. The second CD gets off on a good foot with Spiller's infinitely hummable "Groovejet", builds some pace with "On The Beach" from York and finally goes way too far with Push's "Universal Nation 2000" and Moonman's "Galaxia". -Danny Johnstone.
