Oceans of Fantasy

2007 Digitally Remastered Reissue from the Legendary Europop Group.
Customer Review: another boney m re-re-release
Finally, after it's original cd release in the early 90's here is a new remaster of the 4th boney m cd. The cd (tracks-runningtime) is the same as the the first release except for 2 bonus tracks, that were recorded/ released after this album, but before the boonoonoonoos album. When this album was originally released on vinyl in 1979 it saw no less then 9 different pressings with different timings of the tracks. For me, as fan/ collector I am mostly intrested in the longest versions and that's not what this cd brings. No rare releases, just the tracks as given already so many times. Even though some tracks appear to be ust a few seconds longer, they somethimes are completely different. AS an example, here is the original cd tracklisting (which was the 6th vinyl lp pressing) with times and the second time is that of another version of that same song, but then from a different vinyl recording. Let It All Be Music 4:55 (5:28) Gotta Go Home 3:45 (4:24 and even a 2:58 version) Bye Bye Bluebird 4:50 (5:15) Bahama Mama 3:17 (3:30) Hold On! I'm Comin' 3:37 (4:07) Two of Us 3:16 (3:14) Ribbons of Blue 2:00 (3:54 > as released on a Italian 7inch single) Oceans of Fantasy 5:07 (5:27) El Lute 5:57 (that is the longest version, though the 12inch ran 5:07) No More Chain Gang 5:25 (5:50) I'm Born Again 4:09 No Time to Lose 2:56 (3:23) Calendar Song (January, February, March...) 2:43 (3:20) I See A Boat On The River (Bonus track) My Friend Jack (Bonus track) As you can see, most songs appears in longer different versions as well, and then I did not even mention the 12inch versions for hold on I'm coming 5:46 / gotta go home 5:04 / bahama mama 5:12 / i'm born again 4:17 And what happened to the single (3:50) hooray hooray it's a holi-holiday that was released that same year but was never included on any album. Or the very short 1:02 version of ribbons of blue, that one was actually on the 6th pressing (the later cd version), but was removed and the 2 minute version was used instead, but why not the full 3:54 version??? I guess we will never know. Hopefully, one day, they release this cd as limited edition 2 disc, with the original album and the longer/shorter versions from the other vinyl releases. And, when can we finally expect a cd with all those great original 12inch version?


If you are planning to try your hand at casino table games, these blackjack tips are just what you might need to make a good night turn out great. Getting started is often the most difficult part to those that aren't familiar with the game. If you've never played before there is a learning curve involved. This is the period of time in which you are a little less sure of yourself when it comes to betting and getting down the main game mechanics. Remember that playing in a casino is a little different than playing blackjack on poker nights or at college casino parties.

Play Free First

Most online casinos give you the opportunity to play blackjack free for a period of time before putting your money on the line. This allows you the opportunity to learn the game and become familiar with their betting formats. It is a good idea to use a few free rounds of blackjack every time you play and every time you go from one casino to the next as a type of warm up. Once you've built your confidence and familiarized yourself with the online layout for a particular casino you can move on to actually betting on your game.

Set a Budget

This seems like a no brainer but you would be surprised at how many people get into trouble quickly online by not establishing a budget for the evening. Good luck comes and goes and can turn on a dime. If you have a budget for your gambling session then you know when to bet conservatively in order to prolong the fun or take bigger risks (this works best when you seem to be on a winning streak). What you want to avoid is spending more than you intend or investing money that has been set aside for necessities without realizing it. Give yourself a budget for your session and when those funds are gone, call it a day. If you have a great day set some of your winnings aside for another gaming day when things seem to be coming to an end all too quickly.

Click Away from a Bad Table

Online casinos offer many options to visitors. If you are having a run of bad luck with one "table" then it is really easy to find another one offering blackjack in the same online casino. There are plenty of options for game play and gambling fun. Gambling is a risk though and if you find that one "table" is a greater risk than you are comfortable taking a new one is only a click away. Don't be afraid to move on when the cards aren't showing you any love.

There are many great technical tips for playing blackjack and improving your game. However, if you follow the tips above you will find that you are much better situated to enjoying your game play.
