Review TKKG: IDENTIKIT / Tivola:If you're a budding Sherlock Holmes or fancy yourself as a top police inspector, here's your chance to start practising your crime-busting skills. Identikit tests your ability to remember faces and lets you create your own police sketches. Using the computer-based assembly kit, you can quickly click on key features like ears, noses and beards and put together your own images of people-just as if you were working on a major case at Scotland Yard. What does the suspect's hair look like? What kind of eyes did the woman have? What was the shape of the person's lips? By simply clicking and dragging with your mouse button you can complete identikits of all kinds of people. You can also create sketches of animals. So if your pet dog or cat goes missing, you could easily put together a wanted poster and add in your telephone details. You can also create fun identikit images and e-mail them on to your friends. Aimed at anyone from eight years up, this is a clearly laid out and attractively designed CD-ROM. Installation is practically effortless and it is easy-to-use. There are also links to Web sites where you can find lots of other eyebrows and noses to work with. [+]

Review Tweenies Play to the Music with Dance Mat & Microphone / BBC Multimedia 5032956104605:Hey, Hey, are you ready to Play to the Music with the Tweenies? An amazing 50 per cent of pre-school children in the UK watch the loveable characters on TV, and this new package picks out the element they love the best: singing action songs. When the Tweenie clock stops on "Dance Time", Bella (as usual!) takes the lead, and youngsters can either help Fizz copy Bella's moves, or they can boogie along, copying the steps on the dance mat (included, with a microphone). In the "Music Garden", you must help Judy and Jake grow a song bush, whereas in the "Tunearoonie Maze" your task is to guide the Tweenies around a maze and collect musical notes. But beware of the dinosaurs, or you could be singing the blues sooner than you think. Meet the "Tweenie Band", find out what instruments they like by trial and error and then sing along with the tunes they play. These somewhat prescriptive activities are fantastic for the target age group: they improve colour recognition, musical awareness and singing ability, basic mouse and PC skills, as well as artistic awareness, concentration, hand-to-eye coordination and finer motor skills. But the real fun comes in the more open activities, where children can plug in the microphone and sing along with the Tweenies. The special video clips included are taken from the live, sell-out shows of early 2001, TV programmes and the Tweenies' unforgettable appearance on Top of the Pops. Karaoke wannabes can even record their voice and become a real Tweenie pop star themselves. If this all sounds a bit raucous, concentrate on the educational value: BBC production values mean this is fun, entertaining and wonderfully designed, but it also stays true to the underlying developmental slant of the TV show. [+]
Following the success of the Tweenies: Ready to Play (which sold around 330,000 copies and topped the UK software retail charts for 35 out of 54 weeks after launch) this package is simply fantastic, but if you still need convincing, just remember: millions of three-year-olds can't be wrong! -Lucie Naylor.

Review PC DJ Club Edition / Emission:From Shoom to Cream, Taboo to the Ministry, the club scene of the last 20 years has earned a prominent place in modern musical history. With the stylish music-making software contained in PCDJ Club Edition you can make your bid to join that noble roll-call. The "dashboard" of this musical MX5 is a central console from which you can access all the other facilities available on disc. These allow you to sort your tracks by artist, beats-per-minute and title and create a playlist that you can set on autopilot if your frantic deejaying means you need a breather. Other even more impressive tools allow you to monitor a number of channels at the same time, play two CDs at once, cue up the next grooves by sight and rip and encode others' sounds into yours. And for the hardest of hardcore deejaying experiences, you can control all your doings with an external rackmount-making you feel like some musical Zeus looking down from DJ Olympus. Lastly, there are some "specially selected" three-minute tracks with great grooves, funky vibes and freaky beeping things, all set and waiting for you to come a spinnin'. -Sean Thomas.

Review Street Style eJay / eJay:With 32 audio tracks, 4,000 spoken words, 2 virtual turntables, 30,000 samples and one megafamous Euro disco-doyen as on-disc producer, the Street Style eJay CD-ROM has everything you need to be your own rap or hip-hop music-maker. The central tool is the onscreen console. This enables you to load, erase, save, stretch, animate, mix, boost and generally muck about with those 4,000 on-CD music bytes. soul, funk and R&B sounds are included along with the rap and hip-hop fundamentals. As with other eJay software the music comes ready-synchronised and pre-harmonised, so the layering and mixing process is surprisingly easy and enjoyable once you've mastered the basic functions. And when you're bored of the basics, the more Advanced Applications, like the Mixer and the FX Studio, allow you to whip up your own music, bend it into the overall sound, add choruses, reverb, echo, and so on. All very gratifying. What makes this CD-ROM stand out from the others is DJ Tomekk, a true Groovemaster General of our time. Tomekk (proper name Tomasz Kuklicz) has worked with such luminaries as Kurtis Blow, Wyclef Jean, and Cypress Hill, which means the music on Street Style eJay, much of it moulded by him, avoids some of the corporate blandness one occasionally associates with other "homebrew" music software. Nice one. [+]
