Bathroomescapades aside, theres no denying that George Michael has beenresponsible for some of the biggest party jams of the 80s and 90s.Have you ever noticed what happens to a room when Faith erupts fromthe speakers Aside from the funk-fueled Fastlove, the material fromhis most recent album, Older, is well and truly overshadowed here by themegahits from days gone by. The first disc starts off slow, withCareless Whisper and his remake of I Cant Make You Love Me the onlyreal high points among otherwise bland ballads. Its disc 2 that exudesthe essence of Michael, with Fastlove, Too Funky, and Freedom 90providing a nonstop dance-athon, and I Want Your xxx and Faithpicking up the slack. The package also includes his rather unexciting(but hugely popular) duets with Queen and Elton John, his perfect poppairing with Aretha Franklin, and two new tracks. Set aside some serioustime for this one, folks. The hits dont stop. --Rebecca Wallwork
