Nunca El Tiempo Es Perdido - Manolo Garcia

Advantages: Great Spanish pop/rock
Disadvantages: None!

...First of all, you might not know who El Canto del Loco are: they're a Spanish rock/pop group comprising of 4 guys. I have to say that this album is REALLY good. If you've heard Besos or Zapatillas, most of the songs sound sort of similar, so no surprises there. Even though they're all quite similar, they're still good songs. There are some nice slower songs too which gives a nice variety to the album. I tried looking for this album on different websites online but found that the cheapest place was iTunes, and it cost only £7.99 which I thought was good value for money. 1. Besos: cute and catchy! 2. Vuelve: good beat and nice chorus 3. Sera: slower, but not depressing 4. Volvera: again- catchy beat 5. Tal Como Eres: a ballad, I guess; I like it. 6. Que Caro es el Tiempo: doesn't overly stick out as anything special; another slow... Read review

Advantages: Interesting Musical Metamorphosis of very good songs
Disadvantages: none in particular

...The actual title of this album is "Reversiones/Siempre es Hoy" (or "Remixes/Siempre Es Hoy"). It is a double album of remixes from Gustavo Cerati's previous album, entitled "Siempre Es Hoy" (It's Always Today), which I will review separately when my product suggestion comes through. I find it surprising that this particular album of the fantastic artist that is Gustavo Cerati is one of the easiest to find in the UK and on many websites, indeed it is often the only one that you will find on some sites, but I have come to understand why this may be. I purchased my copy in Argentina, but amazon.co.uk sell it for £11.99 new or from £6.95 for a used copy. ************************************ Gustavo Cerati is an Argentinean and one of the most famous living artists to come out of Latin America. Although he is seen as a "Rock" artist... Read review

Advantages: Great cd, a little bit different
Disadvantages: Some weak songs, a bit like Eurovision

...and betrayal that is trivialised as jealousy in the English version. "Nunca pense que doliera el amor asi Cuando se entierra en el medio de un no Y un si Es un dia ella y otro dia yo Me estas dejando sin corazon Y cero de razon" "Never thought that love would hurt like this When it enters the middle of a No And a yes Its one day her and the other me * You're leaving me without heart Nor reason" (I had to translate this line myself so forgive me if it is wrong!) Again I prefer the lyrics that are used in the Spanish song, but not being fluent in Spanish leaves me at a distinct disadvantage. *** Overall this a great album. Shakira is very different to most artists around at the moment, so much so that it is hard to categorise her music. It is like latino pop-rock! Listen to a friend's copy first if you're not so sure but I... Read review
