International music reviews

Many people listen to the music while socializing, doing hous wprk, driving... this almbum is, however, one of those that you put in your CD player, dim the lights, sit back and enjoy the harmony of instruments and hipnotizing voice of the singer. i listen to all kinds of music, so i recommend this album to everyone!

First time I lisen to the group was on a Old Bar in Miners Ghoust town "Real de 14" Cudent forget thouse songs.

this album pulls you by your heartstrings to a world of smoky filled cafes.The sound of her voice alienates you from the sounds of mundane life and for that very instant you are wherever and whatever you want to be.A sound that everyone should have.

This is one of my favorites. I carry 20 YEARS OF FEEDBACK in the car and play it over and over. Its a must have for any bluegrass fan.

These guys carry on the "newgrass" tradtition in the same vein as those groups who pioneered this style. Banjo picking that will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, fiddle playing that will bring a tear to your eye, guitar picking smooth as silk, dobro picking that will break your dog's neck. These guys should be in Nashville. This disk is a soon to be classic for sure!

This is Bluegrass at its best. "Feedback" in no way describes the essence of what this album (and band) has to offer the Bluegrass diehard or the novice ("new grasseer"). This "20 year" instrumental and vocal group spreads around lively vocals and instrumentals with non-stop energy and will keep you tappin' from the first to the last beat. A must for any music library. You'll float like a Gecko on the water after indulging in this mixture of new and traditional songs. Five stars is NOT ENOUGH !!!!

Por Dr. Edward "Eduardo" Henry Dowdye, Jr. Es raro que cada selecci�n en una grabaci�n es ejecutada con "clase", precisi�n y excelencia como lo de Rocio. Este CD es una Obra Maestra en s� mismo y vale m�s que el precio. Es una obra excepcional. Otra vez Rocio se ha establecido un nuevo est�ndar para su presentaci�n muy "chique" en un foro global.

She sings from the heart she has the passion she has the voice to blow your breeth away her name is rocio durcal! Now what I like about is when you listen to her musica you go into this demension of feeling and relaxsation it just puts you in a warm calm soothing mood. When I herd the song ( Carcias) for the first time I knew I had fallen in love with it it just made me feel so good inside it gave me a very relaxing feeling I felt very calm and I just knew I had to buy it I have boght all of her other cd's just about. But this is one of my favorite ones I just think she sings with great feeling she sings from the heart and she has a great talent this cd is a tresure you must have in your collection you will never regret buying this album I garentee it you will love this album weather you have her other albums or not I just want to say it's not just her voice but the instruments she uses in her songs just plays right in with her voice to make the most perfect songs I know she has one an award for being the best latin female singer and I hope she wins many more honestly I think she will she has a wonderful talent and shes great at it love you rocio!

I have admired Rocio Durcal since I was a child. However, Caricias is the first cd of hers that I have purchased. I had been unable to listen to her music for a number of years and Caricias was the cd which reintroduced me to Rocio's stunning voice. From start to finish, this cd takes you on an incredible emotional journey. Rocio speaks to your heart and shares the emotions she feels while singing each individual song. This cd is a must for anyone who appreciates beauty and who can relate to the summits and valleys which are experienced when one falls in love or is betrayed etc... since purchasing this cd, I have purchased several others.

Some of the songs on this disc will mostly be of interest to fans of Clase 406, including the theme song ("Clase 406"), the spoken segments, and the songs by cast members. ("D�nde ir�n" was also used as a theme song, but stands up well on its own.) However, the rest of the disc is a nice assortment of songs en espan�l, well worth the price even if you have never watched the telenovela.

I own both of the cd's and you should to if your a fan. I just wish it would of had more songs from the artistas on the novela like the second one, but it does make it up by having almost double of the songs than the second one does!! It would also be sweet if they released the novela on DVD I for one would definitly buy it and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one!!!

I REALLY LOVE THIS CD ITS AS GOOD AS THE NOVELA!
BUY IT BUY IT!!!!!! I LIKE THE TEXTOS AND ALSO THE SONGS THE ONLY SONG I DONT LIKE IS................. JUST KIDDING I LIKE ALL THE SONGSSSSSSS BYEEEE

No European band in the 1970s seemed capable of creating jazz-rock with quite the soul of the US bands (i.e. Weather Report and Return to Forever), but Germany's Passport came closest, in my view.

Bandleader Klaus Doldinger had a sensitive ear for musical styles which he would pick up and apply to his song-writing. Often this strategy worked, but you could get the occasional duff track -- e.g. some of the Latin numbers on 'Iguacu'. But on 'Cross-Collateral', it's all under control, and the band seems highly focussed. There's no Latin influence, and no synthesizer whimsy. It's straightahead jazz-rock, with perhaps a stronger infuence on the rock element, in terms of the beat and drum style. Perhaps the only artist who is now soing anything remotely similar is Norway's Jan Garbarek: 'I Took Up the Runes' comes highly recommended to anyone who doesn't know it.

To me the greatest song on this is the the odd one out: the final track 'Damals', a plaintive tune of regret. It reminds me of girlfriends lost and of opportunities not taken. It is a beautiful, sad song!

Released in 1975, this is one of a few albums that I can still listen to and freak out over as much as when I first heard it at age 16 when I was listening to anything I could that wasn't being played on the radio. I've played this for people who think they only like Rock and also for people who think they only like Jazz, and both sides love it. At 16 I liked Weather Report and Mahavishnu, I loved Led Zeppelin and The Who and Pink Floyd, and I really dug Erroll Garner and Dave Brubeck and Miles Davis,and oh yeah! - Sly and J.B. and Stevie Wonder - but this was my favorite album and is still at least in my top ten. You do actually hear the influence of all the above mentioned genres here, but not in the often boring way it's produced in what's typically categorized as "fusion". Grab this one!

Recorded in 1975, CROSS-COLLATERAL is undoubtably the most intense and hard-hitting of PASSPORT's fusion output. The compositions are brain-twistingly complex and fast, yet there are spacious subtleties throughout this disc. From the modal brilliance of HOMMUNCULUS, the dynamically progressive CROSS-COLLATERAL to the street-funk drive of JADOO, Klaus Doldinger showcases his quartet's ability to master difficult material, solo tastefully and comp with active group synergy and do it all with impeccable musicianship. Line-up: Curt Cress, drums. Kristian Schultze, keyboards. Wolfgang Schmidt, bass & guitar. Klaus Doldinger, saxes, keyboards, synthesizers.

It does not matter where in the world you come from, what race, who you are or what you are - One thing is proven certain - There will be at least one song in Julio's extraordinary multi-lingual repetoire that is guaranteed to please someone somewhere.

'Divorcio', his latest album and nothing to do with his current marital status, is certainly no exception. The very catchy song 'El Bacalao' is bound to make you want to get up and dance, and for those of you who speak or understand Spanish well, the lyrics, whilst simple, pack a punch with sublte double meaning! - Enjoy!

Every song on this album, each a gem in it's own right, is beautifully arranged and Julio executes them all to perfection.

This man is a class act, a gentleman, and singer with a very deninite and polished style - extremely rare in this day and age!

SIN DUDA ALGUNA EL MEJOR DISCO LATINO DEL A�O 2003 Y 2004 ES DIVORCIO.
ESCUCHEN SOBRETODO �QUE GANASTE?, LA CARRETERA II Y EL BACALAO, LES ENAMORAR� EL DISCO.
JULIO SE VUELVE A SUPERAR Y SIGUE SIENDO UN �XITO SEGURO.
MUCHO DIVORCIO, MUCHO JULIO!

i love this album. i've got most of his work and this is simply a delight. el bacalao- you are definitely gonna dance or wanna dance at least. Divorcio- what can i say, bliss... la carretera 2nd, and of course crazy in love , makes you wanna love always.fantastic. three thumbs up from me!

This is a great cd, I like most of the songs on this album. The only draw back on the album is that one song is repreated twice, the other is repeated 3 times. Like La Negra Tomasa you only need one version of that song, and then Mia on is original the other is cumbia mix, and then again in english. I mean this song is good but not that good for me to hear it a million times. So in actuality, this cd only really contains 10 original songs, he could have at least made a few more. All in all though it is a great cd, and you will listen to it quite a few times. I do believe that K1 album is better though.

I think that even if DJ Kane was a former KK member he still has his own style in music. It is not anything like KK but in a good way. DJ Kane is a great musician and needs a little credit in that. He has a great style in music very different from Mr. Quintanilla. Although i might add A.B is also a great artist.

Leaving the Kumbia kings might have been a good move after all. With this self-title debut album being a hit he shows he's good enuff for the solo world. With hits Like(La negra tomasa,Buena vida, pura mentiras And Mia Cumbia remix hes sur to get your attention

I lived in Kuwait for two years and got used to Arabic music. I wanted the people in my office to know what it was like, so I ordered this CD. I did not know who Nawal Al Zoghby was, so I selected it on the basis of other people's reviews. I have to say I am VERY pleased with my choice! Nawal is a fabulous singer, and her music ROCKS! It is very reminiscent of hearing the music over the loudspeakers in Fahaheel's Sultan Center. If you want a taste of Middle Eastern music and aren't sure where to start, this is the CD for you.

THIS ALBUM IS ONE OF THE BEST ALBUM THE AMAZING STAR NAWAL EL ZOGHBI DID , SHE IS THE BEST ALWAYS I RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO BUY IT.

Ellitmane Toh is the best music album ever! with the world in the way it is, wars, racism and terrorism. Nawal has given us all something to enjoy together and feel good about! ....

I absolutely love it!! When I first heard him on the radio was on my trip in Spain!! He was being interviewed and love his voice!! I even felled more when I heard his music with the spanish/morrocan flare to it!! So, I had to get it! When I came from spain to Miami I had a friend listen to it she beg me to lend it to her big big mistake!! So her husband fell in love with it lend it to a friend and so then it kapuff no where to be found!! So know Im trying to buy one on line!!

If you like spanish music, buy it. If you like arabian music, buy it. If you like modern pop music, buy it.
You can find all these things, with the beautiful warmth voice of Hakim.
Don't forgot also "Comosuena", "El volcan de tus deseos" and "Sin fronteras", they are greath too.

Ciao

I bought "Comosuena" in the 2001 and I loved this singer, then I've found "Entre dos orillas", is a beautiful CD, I like the mix of Spanish and Arabian music with modern pop. The warmth of Hakim voice make all this perect. I'v got also "El volcan te tus deseos" and the new CD "Sin fronteras", if you buy one of these album you could't buy the other too!...

Cuarto y ultimo disco de Caifanes, producido por Greg Ladanyi y con un sonido mas cercano al grunge que al afro - rock que habia caracterizado las anteriores producciones del grupo: El Diablito (1990) y El Silencio (1992). Tras la salida de Sabo Romo y Diego Herrera, Caifanes graba El Nervio del Volcan con la participacion de musicos como Federico Fong (La Barranca) y Yanni Zaragoza.

Este album incluye los exitos: "Afuera" y "Aqui No Es Asi", aunque tambien hay piezas interesantes como "La Llorona" y "Miedo", donde Marcovich muestra su habilidad al tocar el violin electrico. Quiza sea el disco mejor producido de Caifanes, sin embargo, le hace falta la magia de discos como El Silencio.

Canciones recomendadas: Afuera, Ayer Me Dijo Un Ave, Avientame.

I bought this album for the first song ("Afuera") & love it so much that I haven't gotten around to exploring the rest of the album. I keep hitting "repeat" on track 1 over & over.

Saul Hdez dice que la magia entre ellos (Caifanes) ya se habia perdido cuando grabaron este disco... Mi comentario es que sin embargo el talento de estos musicos seguia intacto, incluso se encontraba en la cuspide y juntos lograron uno de los mejores discos en la historia del Rock en Español. Este es el disco de Caifanes con mas influencia de Alejandro Marcovich, sus solos son extraordinarios; No existe Rock Hispano con mejores requintos que El Nervio Del Volcan. Las letras de Hdez siguen siendo misticas y el inconfundible ritmo de Andre en la bateria le da un toque de maestria. Este CD no debe de faltar en tu coleccion de Rock.

Tambien recomiendo El Equilibrio de Los Jaguares, Nocturnal de Alejandro Marcovich y toda la coleccion de La Barranca.
