Destinos - Asere

Advantages: Very different from your usual kind of music!
Disadvantages: A bit wizard like but thats Rhapsody for you!

...plays 3 keyboards at a time also how high can one man sing! My god! Adding a bit of Latin in there too.. Very well thought out for sure! The songs do vary in how they are presented for example Guardiani Del Destino carries a quiet beginning with medieval kind of sounds but breaks through to ghostly singing with some deep Latin lyrics whereas Unholy Warcry is very much 'in the battleground' based with huge guitar riffs and solos and is very rocky in a way. A good selection! Anyway, Like I said if you're willing to listen to something with an open mind and don't mind listening to a bit of wizardry along the way then at least give this a go! It has some great graphics in the cover and some fantastic lyrics - maybe one of those things that will appeal to Lord of the Rings fans for definite! Give it a go with an open mind! Track...

Advantages: Mix of Electropop and Ballards, Ana's voice
Disadvantages: They aren't together anymore!

...a love triangle, and making up. 10/10 4. Los Amantes (The Lovers). Once again, Mecano have converted back to Electro. Ana's voice is distorted, but this works. The instrumental could easily be a midi file, as there are so many fake instruments here. However, the lyrics are good : 'Y voy buscando por los balcones, bellas Julietas para mis canciones' (And I go looking for balconies, beautiful Juliets for my songs). The song is about, of course getting inspiration for songs from lovers. 9/10 5. La Fuerza del Destino (The Strength of Fate). This is my least favourite song on the album. It is a bland electro-Ballard, which doesn't work. The virtual instruments don't work at all here. 5/10 6. Quedate en Madrid (You Stay in Madrid). Mecano are talking about their love for their home city of Madrid. 'Con la nariz entre tus ojos, entre un... Read review
