Mi Tiempo - Chayanne

Advantages: A great mix of latin tunes
Disadvantages: One great song from the film seems to be missing

...The soundtrack from the film Dance with me starring Vanessa Williams (now of Ugly Betty fame) and Chayanne. For the movie review go to CandiceB666 The film is a love story set to the music of cuba and the ballroom. The CD contains 15 songs from the film and as expected has a very latin vibe to it. Songs are as follows; 1. Sergio Mendes - Magalenha 2. Gloria Estefan - Heaven's What I Feel (Dance Remix) 3. Vanessa L.Williams & Chayanne - You Are My Home 4. Electra - Jibaro (Dance with me '98 Remix) 5. Albita - Fiesta Pa'Los Rumberos 6. Jon Secada - Want You, Miss You, Love You 7. Black Machine - Jazz Machine 8. Thalia - Echa Pa'Lante (Spanglish Cha Cha Mix) 9. DLG (Dark Latin Groove) - Atrevete (No Puedes Conmigo) 10. Ana Gabriel - Eres Todo En Mi (You're My Everything) 11. Vanessa L. Williams & Chayanne - Refugio De Amor (You Are My... Read review

Advantages: good variety of tracks
Disadvantages: entirely in Spanish

...Mi Tierra sees Gloria going back to her latino roots as all the tracks on the album are sung entirely in Spanish. It's surprisingly good - much better than a lot of her Englush language offerings. There is the usual mix of salsa, merengue and slow ballads, all of which have their own charm and conjure up images of the "mi land" of the title - Cuba. My favourite of all the tracks has to be the ballad "Con los Anos que me quedan" (with the years I have left) which has a beautiful melody and even lovlier lyrics. The more up tempo numbers would be perfect to get everyody into the party mood - especially if the rum and tequila are flowing! An enjoyable album, but helps if you understand Spanish....

Advantages: Songs by some great artists in their prime
Disadvantages: Songs do not fully compliment each other or the movie

...Limp Bizkit's theme song is very popular and I've even heard it on classic rock and roll radio stations in Chicago. But the Pimps created a remarkable MI2 theme song too and it was not even used on this soundtrack. Instead they put Rocket Science which is just an average song that has little to do with MI2. The Pimps' MI2 song which is found on a Pimp's cd would have greatly complimented this soundtrack. Metallica and Rob Zombie make you excited to play the MI2 video game, but other songs take you in different directions. Brian May's Have A Cigar is a strong contribution but could have been used in 1000 other movies and have created a more powerful effect. I think Tori Amos's Carnival saves the day by uniting the music to the movie. If you like movie soundtracks, this cd has too many artists in one place to pass up... Read review
