Customer Reviews:

Amazingly Thrilling Rollercoaster Ride!.......2007-06-15

I expected there to be only a handful of songs that would sound great but it turns out that the entire CD is really just one crazy roller coaster of unique trancey sounds. This is the first CD I ever bought that I can listen to all the way through to the last track enjoying each track along the way, while not skipping past anything.

When I first bought this CD I thought I was making a mistake because I never heard of "The Thrillseekers", who apparently is one guy, not the assumed two-three DJ's. However, I should never judge trance by it's jewel case anymore. This CD amazed me and I'm starting to like the Nightmusic series better than In Search of Sunrise and A State of Trance. We'll see what happens in the second volume coming out this month.

A perfect trance collection..........2007-05-21

Wow! What a powerful trance collection... This collection, together with Armin's State of Trance 2006 and ATB's In the Mix 3, are the most perfect trance collections of the last 5 years (I would add Tiesto's In search of sunrise - Los Angeles, but it's not 100% trance, since it has some chill out tunes).
I'll be anxiously waiting for the next Thrillseeker's album!

Cool.......2007-05-15

Hey it turns out everyone who liked this was right .... I do too. Good solid trance to dance to.

MOODY.......2007-03-09

I love this cd its the best in the world and I cannot explain the intensity of the music better than that.

VOCALS.......2007-02-17

WHY IS IT THAT VOCALS ARE SHOWING UP MORE AND MORE IN TRANCE?

To me their distractions!

DJ's and Producers PLEASE LEAVE THE BUBBLEGUM POP VOCALS for the teeny-bopper radio!

This set lost the fifth star just because of Who's Knocking (Ferry Corsten Remix).

Take the songs with vocals in them out and you still have 22 good trance songs.

Customer Reviews:

If you already like their stuff, this is a good one to have..........2007-07-09

But if you don't, this won't convert you. Once you get past the couple of "club" hits, the rest of the album is just more of the same. Daft Punk fans already know this, and like it, but newer fans will be wondering what's going on.

Almost perfect........2006-11-01

To me, Daft Punk represents the best in electronic/house music. For novices this is a great way to get into a band that I feel is often overlooked. Perhaps because electronic music nowadays isn't really being listened to that much. Back in the mid to late 90's electronic music acts such as Daft Punk, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers and Basement Jaxx were flying high because the music was in style, today it's sort of an acquired taste. Given most of these bands material of late isn't up to par, including Daft Punk themselves. Before 'Human After All' came out I honestly didn't think these guys were capable of making a less than stellar album. I was proven wrong.

For all the backlash 'Human After All' gets it's not by any means terrible, but just simply not as good as Homework and Discovery. However, the sound of a dwindling fanbase must've been deafening to the record label. So the time was right to release this 'best of' compilation in order to reel in new fans since the "old" ones probably have gone off to greener pastures ( i.e. LCD Soundsystem). We get introduced to a lost classic from the earliest stage of the band, Musique, a b-side to the first single 'Da Funk' and a pleasant surprise to those who haven't heard it. The next batch of songs are very familiar to fans and somewhat to fairweather fans, now my only gripe is something I noticed others have had a similar complaint about, and that is "why isn't Digital Love and Aerodynamic included?". Now those two tracks were singles and to me the fact that those are not there takes away one star from this rating. Since you want to give novices a chance to get the "best of" of a band, you must put in the "best tracks", makes sense right? I would've taken out Human After All and Something About Us, basically because the quality of the previous tracks outweigh these. A nice addition is the inclusion of three remixes from the Daft Club release, good choices too. Overall, you have pretty much the meat and potatoes of an excellent group that deserves better recognition and this proves why.

Daft funk........2006-10-18

Some may ask why, but I say bring on a collection like this. Why not? This is primo music. Is it techno or electronica, who cares, just dance and enjoy. My biggest complaints are, why six tracks from "Homework", and only three from "Discovery"? Also, some of these songs like "Rollin' & Scratchin'" and "Robot Rock" are SO repetitive (I know that's the point), they get old by the three minute mark. Yet, other tracks like "Around The World" and "One More Time" are perfection, hence the classics they are. One other disappointment....where the hell is "Digital Love"? That song should be here before many of these. Still, these are all good at the least, and it's a good sampling of their three albums. Toss on a few remixes to choice tracks like "Da Funk" and "Human After All", and you've got a collection even a robot could love. There's also a deluxe edition of this with videos, but hey, that's what Youtube is for.

The best of the best.......2006-06-29

If you're looking for a comprehensive greatest hits collection from daft punk then this is it! Yeah greatest hits can be all about cashing in but for casual daft punk fans this is ideal! You get all their "best" songs in one shot plus some little additional remixes. It is true that perhaps the track the music sounds better with you should've been added but hey! no greatest hits is perfect.

Daft Cash-In.......2006-05-03

Let's set it out right from the start: Daft Punk have never been the most prolific dance act. Where Mylo could create a rich triple album of his remixes and hits from the last two years alone, Daft Punk's picks from three studio albums over the last decade barely fill a hits collection. This could have something to do with the absurd and mysterious French duo, consisting of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, spending as much time on cartoon productions and furniture design as they have on musical output, although some doubters might suggest the band are simply lazy or have lacked fresh ideas since they burst onto the scene in 1996 with Homework. The muted response to Human After All's release in 2005 certainly indicated the latter may be true, although rumours persisted the album was just an expensive practical joke from the enigmatic pair. Daft Punk's record label Virgin sure don't seem to be laughing, rush-releasing Musique Volume 1 1993-2005 with no new music and little to entice Daft Punk's long-term fans to purchase this collection aside lesser-known remixes if Ian Pooley, Gabrielle and Scott Grooves. While classics such as One More Time, Around The World and Da Funk make up the dozen Daft Punk songs included here, this disc is so light on personal victories that it's surprising Thomas Bangalter's hit under the Stardust nom de plume, Music Sounds Better With You, wasn't dusted off and included here. Even a remix disc would have been a worthy addition, but as it stands this collection is punkin' daft. Memo to Air - don't make the same mistake as your froggy countrymen.

Customer Reviews:

BUY THIS !!! You will smile : ).......2007-04-20

Been a huge Dada fan since Puzzle & Dizz Knee Land (which was originally titled Disneyland on the pressing. Disney sued due to the "violent" nature of the subject matter, and subsequent issuances were re-spelled to pacify Disney (now a promoter of some far,far worse content in thier media). IMHO this is the best trio, if not the best band to come out of the 90's. It is very sad that they did not meet with more financial success. But they have put out music that is unequalled in it's muscianship, and complexity & simplicity at the same time.
I saw them live 1 time, at Ziggy's in Winston-Salem NC in 2004. It was an amazing night I'll never forget. Michael Gurley was there playing with the flu, no less, what dedication! They sounded flawless.
This CD is a great capture of thier in concert ability.
Joie Calio's performance of "Moon" is alone worth more than the price of the CD.
I find myself at a loss for words to describe the talent this trio exhibits......

Captures the live experience.......2007-01-10

This CD aptly captures the live vibe of this talented band. As the band's first live album, the clarity of sound does justice to the complex musicianship and strong songwriting. The song selection is well balanced and shows off dada's considerable range and talent. A great live album from a brilliant live band.

Modern Sanatanaesque.......2005-02-04

I saw dada in concert a year ago and have been a dada fanatic ever since. This is the first album I bought (at the concert). I love this album, but didn't become a dada fanatic until I bought their 5 studio albums. You can get most of their albums here, but should check out their store at dadatheband.com since some are cheaper there (several of their albums are sold out there so you need to get them here). This album is best for someone who loves dada already or loves to watch Santana in concert, for example. With this album you get a nine minute version of Ask The Dust, a drum solo that moves into their song Posters and audience participation with their two anthem songs - Feel Me, Don't You #$@ and Here Today, Gone Tomorrow. You also get a wonderful live versions of Dizz Knee Land and A Trip With My Dad. These three musicians are phenomenal. If you don't own any dada music, start with Puzzle. You can get the used IRS version cheap, but they have a new release with bonus tracks that you'll want to pick up later (so you may want to start with those anyway). All of their albums, including their solo albums are fantastic. If you like 60s psychedelic music, then pick up How To Be Found. I think their albums dada and El Subliminoso have more of a Alternative/Modern Rock feel, and American Highway Flower has a slight southern rock feel. All of them are 90s alternative with superior musicianship and harmonies.

My Friend Joey C.......2004-06-17

Hello, I became a fan in 92 when a stereo store clerk demoed the new "DADA - Puzzle" CD for me. I went to see them open for STING in SEATTLE the following year and met the Band at a bar where they played again that night. They were even better in that dark, crappy little club! They were very approachable and signed autos & CDs. 5 years later my friend calls and says she just got hired as a nanny for this bass player from LA that just moved to Seattle. NO WAY! I got to come over and hang out with Joey Calio @ his house and we started Mountain Biking 5-6 times a mo. Well it's been 5 years since then and I am still a huge fan! I just went to see my friend in another dark, crappy Seattle Club. And I bought This CD plus the New Joey Calio & New DADA studio CDs, and Joey & the band signed them all! I play them all the time. GREAT guyz & Great Musicians! Buy all thier music! ;-)

Perfectly captured.......2004-06-16

This is a band that was sorely overlooked in part because of their record company's demise. They truly have it all.. songwritting, great vocals and excellent musicianship. Unfortunately I've never seen them live however this cd does a great job of capturing them fleshing out some of their best songs. It is a good introduction to this trio.

Volume 2 Is Better, But This Ain't Bad.......2004-04-08

Volume 2 of this collection is much better. I'm only a fan of seven songs on this CD. All the songs are standard Bobby Orlando and a lot of fun, but "The Best of Bobby O" would be a better choice.

I've been loving "Sensitive" for almost 20 years now and I'm very please to have it along with "Desire", "Passion", "Native Love" (even though it has a free style beat), "I'm So Hot For You", "Danger", and "Love Reaction" in my collection. If you recognize the all the songs on this CD I say, go for it! But if you only recognize the club hits then look for them on other collections.

Hi-NRG Classics.......2003-06-22

I feel personally that Volume 2 was the best, only because the songs played out better then Volume One does. Here's the song by song play :

01) Roni Griffith - "Desire" (1981) : 12 Inch version here, Hi-NRG/Eurodisco classic, we love you Roni!!!!! (10/10)

02) The Flirts - "Passion" (1982) : EP version (5 minute version) here, gotta love the throbbing bass line on this one. The 12 Inch can be found on the "The Definitive "O" Records 12" Collection". (10/10)

03) Divine - "Native Love" (Remix) : This is not the original 1981 12 Inch Version, this one has more of a breakdance feel too it. The 12 Inch can be found on "The Definitive "O" Records 12" Collection". (8/10)

04) Barbie & The Kens - "Just A Gigolo" (1982) : Single Version, total "Private Idaho" rip off song, this is the odd one of the disc, too New Wave. The 12 Inch can be found on "The Definitive "O" Records 12" Collection". (8/10)

05) Bobby O' - "I'm So Hot For You" (1982) : 45 Version, the 12 Inch version is on the Best Of Bobby O'. (10/10)

06) Free Enterprise - "Make It On My Own" (1982) : 45 Version, Another odd one, trying to rip off R&B/Urban music and some flat out embarrassing rapping on this one. "Hello sweet momma, i'm going through a trama, how's bout' a little ramma?", Bobby what were you thinking? (00/10)

07) Bobby O' & Claudja Barry - "Whisper To A Scream" : 12 Inch Version here, classic classic classic! We love you Claudja!!!!! The EP version is on the Best Of Bobby O'. (10/10)

08) The Flirts - "Danger" - 12 Inch version here, but not the original, this version sounds more like a demo version. (5/10)

09) Oh Romeo - "These Memories" (1983) : 12 Inch Version, classic Hi-NRG. (10/10)

10) Divine - "Love Reaction" (1983) : 45 Version, total "Blue Monday" rip-off and not much singing from the Misssssssss Divine, but i can't help it, I love it! The 12 Inch can be found on "The Best Of Divine-Native Love". (9/10)

11) Gomez Presley - "The Letter" (1982) : 45 Version, the same guy who sang "Make It On My Own", sings this one but does a great job on this one, the bassline is bangin' on this one. Who would of thought Elvis gone Hi-NRG? The 12 Inch can be found on "The Definitive "O" Records 12" Collection". (10/10)

12) Hotline - "Ready Or Not" (1986) : 45 Version, Total "Two Of Hearts" by Stacy Q rip off here. (00/10)

13) Band Of South - "Sensitive" : 45 Version, campy lyrics, campy song period, classic! (10/10)

14) The Flirts - "You & Me" (1987) : 12 Inch Version, the end was near for "O" Records, Bobby O' was using the Stock, Aitken & Waterman sound which was the in-thing through out the late 80's and early 90's. In other words, Hi-NRG/Freestyle/and other 80's Disco became House Music. (9/10)

"The Definitive "O" Records 12" Collection" is a 2 CD set with 28 tracks from the "O" Records vault.

ANOTHER JAMMIN BOBBY.......2002-01-25

I FELT OBLIGATED TO PURCHASE THIS CD BECAUSE I AM A BIG BOBBY "O" FAN , AND BECAUSE I JUST LOVE HI-NRG MUSIC. WHEN I FINALLY GOT THIS CD I WAS VERY EXCITED THAT THIS CD INCLUDED THE ORIGINAL EXTENDED VERSIONS FOR THE ALL THE TRACKS. THIS CD IS PACKED WITH CLASSIC 80'S HI-NRG. THIS IS ANOTHER CD THAT MUST BE PURCHASED TO COMPLETE THE BOBBY "O" COLLECTION.

Gotta Get!!.......2007-04-24

The first release of the now famous OM LOUNGE series. This first of 10-plus cd releases is chock full low bpm, full-a-funk, grooves. The formula used in these productions has never wavered. The producers have taken inspiration from every corner of the planet to offer the listener a very satisfing musical journey. Sitars from India are juxtapozed seemlesly into an Afro-Caribbean rhythm...Bhuddist chanting draped over a throbbing beat of the conga drum...European violins soaring over South African souka and more. The experience is quite uplifting and refreshing. I highly recommend the entire series of; Om Lounge. You can't go wrong with these. Bon Appetit.

Wallpaper music let down by the stars.......2000-07-02

Modern lounge, sonic wallpaper, downtempo, middle tempo music (according to the CD) whatever you want to call it, OM Records excels at releasing it. A quick look at the artists on this comp- Thievery Corporation, Jazzanova, Mark Farina, Julius Papp, to name a few - should make it a no-brainer pick-up. But not so, they actually have the mediocre songs that clog up the disc.

Most the tracks use a similar formula: lazy beats, vocal snippets, strings, and dashes of funk on top. When the artists add to this with clever sounds and more intricate production it works. Freakniks' "Slow Roll 77" is what you are hoping to hear, an autumn-cool track of layered percussion, stereo samples, catchy loops and effects. "Nothing Can Pull Us Apart" dips into the vinyl vault for gentle pieces of rhythm and a powdery beat, the sound of stargazing. J Boogie's Dubtronic Science's "Oceanic Lullaby" takes strings, a Japanese koto (?), and even some Rakim samples for another winner.

But it's the bigger names that let this down. Reliable Thievery Corporation are disappointingly bland, and like Jazzanova's contribution, use an annoying vocal to mar the tune. Mark Farina and Julius Papp are decent, but they've done better. The remaining tracks range from decent filler to low blood sugar funk jamming.

This is respectable, with a few sublime tracks, but those looking to see what OM has to offer should get OM Lounge 2, a more varied and exciting collection.

AMAZING COMPILATION.......2000-05-09

I could listen to this CD a thousand times (getting there) and not be tired of it. A perfect mix of mid-tempo tunes. The whole damn OM Lounge series in amazing (vols. I - III). This is coming from someone who owns about twenty "chill out" type CDs. The OM lounge series tops my list, but Serve Chilled from Hed Kandi is great, too, as are the Cafe Del Mars. Happy hunting!

Relaxing and yet sexy..........2000-01-10

I'm ordering this CD today after hearing it only once, that's how impressed I was. A bunch of very talented jazz artists got together and set a groove that reminds me of Erykah Badu.

semi sucked.......2006-07-10

gone fishin is the only good cut on the entire cd, there are some others that are "un-skip-able" but otherwise its a mindless background compilation of off brand bama no names. consistant fake neo-soul electric beat throughout the cd can be annoying if you have been there before. i would have been mad if i paid more than $10 for it. it serves its purpose as a stuck in traffic soundtrack, however, i find myself listening to "gone fishin" over and over again.

NEO-SOUL AT IT S BEST !!!.......2005-05-18

Hidden Beach has done it again!!! This is one of best undiscovered neo-soul albums out there. It's the kind of album you put and everyone says: "Who is that?" Several undiscovered artists are ont his album.Every song and artist like Mike Phillips will keep you in that neo-soul music. If you're a lover of neo-soul, this album is a must have.

Hidden Hits on The Radio Finally www.iM4radio.com.......2003-12-08

This cd his packed with raw uncut talent. You can rock this one from beginning to end. Track #19 is my favorite, but you can hear all of them on www.iM4radio.com all day every day...you can even call and request songs. Enjoy!

AN INSTANT CLASSIC.......2003-10-10

HIDDEN BEACH HAS REALLY DONE IT THIS TIME. THIS ALBUM IS GREAT

Excellent Gospel Bluegrass!!!!.......2007-06-28

This is a great CD. Lots of variety in the song choices. Not the "same ol' same ol'" that sounds like the same song playing for 20 tracts! If you love bluegrass and singing about heaven and the Lord you gotta buy this CD. If I am gonna listen to bluegrass I wanna sing for HIM! This will keep your toes tappin' and your heart a-singin'! I definately recommend this one!

A Christian Bluegrass Lover's Dream.......2005-03-24

I'm not going to be long winded in this review like I've seen on some albums. If you enjoy bluegrass music and you enjoy praise and worship, this album is a must for your collection. The song choices are great, the performance quality is awesome, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend this album.

The Videos Make It Worth It.......2006-08-29

I am the worlds biggest Daft Punk Fan. Having all thier previous work, even the 'hard to find' stuff, this CD was of no use to me other than for nostalgic purposes... that is until I learned of this edition, which includes a special DVD with all of thier music videos to date. Right there I knew I had to own this gem. Worth the buy for the unique videos, especially Around The World.

I do have to point out that the quality of the video could have been better, as I have seen Daft Punk music videos on DVD (like the collection of video from Micheal Gondry) that were higher quality, so I know it isnt the video itself, but none the less its only something a videophile would really notice.

Musique to the ears.......2006-05-01

To the uninitaited, Daft Punk's around for more than a decade or so though it's really in 1997 when they exploded with Homework that the dance/electronic world sat up and took notice. With their unique brand of French electronic flavor, the duo were able to dazzle their audiences.

Mixing hard rock beats with pulsating electronic basslines and vocordered vocals, Daft Punk brings a whole new experience which includes Alive, Da Funk, All Around The World and Musique. In 2001, following the success of Homework, the duo finetuned their sound and brought in some retro-funk on Discovery to their electronic stable. First single, One More Time, with its catchy chorus and retro-disco sounds immediately caught attention. Tie-up with Japanese anime Interstellar 5555, singles such as Digital Love and Aerodynamic further secured their place in the dance/electronic world with stunning visuals accompanied.

Last year's Human After All was a disappointment, having being completed in 6 weeks and sounding a lot like a miscast record of leftovers except Make Love and Emotion were two of the best songs they have written.

Musique Vol. 1 is like a pitstop of Daft Punk's wide repertoire, giving casual fans an opportunity to try the band out. However, as essential with any money-making scheme, Virgin opted to leave the excellent Digital Love and Aerodynamic from Discovery off.

Then what's left for diehard fans on this special limited edition are the videos. 12 videos of which one is a remix also leaves out the above said two singles. Still, it's a visual treat and a collection to hold. (B+)

Harder, ALWAYS Better, ALWAYS Faster, ABSOLUTELY Stronger.......2006-04-25

Daft Punk is one of those groups that is able to combine techno and electronic music into the simplest forms of music that tops even some of the hardest dance tunes (examples of SIMPLE: Around The World, Da Funk, Robot Rock). I found Daft Punk a little bit harder to get familiar with, cause I thought their work was very different from the usual techno you hear nowadays (The Chemical Brothers, Underworld, etc). A lot of people say that Daft Punk is one of those groups that is in its own genre of techno and electronic music, but I disagree. A lot of other DJ's have become familiar with their work and enjoy re-working their music, making their songs through mixes/remixes more recognizable. Since their last album (Human After All), they've made quite an exception in the world of techno and electronic music. Musique, Vol. I brings together their best (Something About Us, Technologic, Revolution 909, etc...), along with three remix tracks towards the end of the CD. The DVD is definitely worth the extra couple bucks added onto the $19.99. The music videos are very unique and are well put together w/ each song. Daft Punk fans will enjoy this Singles set.

Worth it for the videos!.......2006-04-17

Any Daft Punk fan knows that a "best of" collection is a pointless buy, since all their albums are fantastic from start to finish. However, this collection comes with a DVD of all their music videos. It's worth it for that, since all of them are top notch. Buy it for the videos, if you're just getting into Daft Punk I'd suggest buying their albums, and avoiding Daft Club and the Human After All Remixes at all cost.

Da Finest!!!.......2006-04-13

If you're like me, you've already got everyone of these tracks and remixs on Daft Punk's various albums, DVD's & singles. So you ask yourself "Why should I buy this album when I've already got all these tracks?" Well, with this collection you get the best of DP's tracks all on one disc. Whether you've been a fan like me over the years, or if you've just discovered them this collection definately does the Punk's right. This CD/DVD will make a worthy entry in anyones collection. Even if you don't think you know Daft Punk, I can almost garuntee that you do. With tracks like "Around The World", "Da Funk", "One More Time" & the now just as classic "Human After All" it's a safe bet you've heard them at least once in your life time before.

Although four years passed since their previous album, these Latin playboys are always up for a party, and The Venezuelan Zinga Son Vol. 1 is no different. Produced by New York house music producers Masters At Work, the band's third domestic album is filled with upbeat salsa ("Esto Es Lo Que Hay" is a riot), soft Brazilian grooves, spacey funk, disco, rock and lounge. They roll it all together into street party of good vibes, sexy beats and lecherous thoughts (see track 14), but what keeps the Brooklyn-based sextet out of gutter is that it's hard to find fault when the insidious jams cause you to stop thinking and start dancing. Interestingly, the album seems to ride the arc or raging party: it starts on a promising but mellow tip, then loosens up in the middle part, then rides it out until there's nothing left to give. Los Amigos' best effort yet, Zinga is all-purpose fun. --Tad Hendrickson

As much fun and "sabor" as day 1.......2007-07-13

Combining influences of Fania-based Salsa, bossa nova (Jobim) and deep house, and singing several songs in English (not surprising considering how much time they spend in NYC), with "The Venezuelan Zinga Son, Vol. 1" the Amigos presented their fourth work in a moment that Venezuela -their homeland- and the world at large very much need their excellent groove and good musical humor.

Still, four years after its original release, the album retains all its flavor and fun, much like all their other works, kicking aside language barriers. With Los Amigos Invisibles, you CAN'T go wrong: from their first work, A Typical Autoctonal Venezuelan Dance Band to their 2006 release, Superpop Venezuela, they've managed to combine music and fun in a way few other bands anywhere else can.

PURE VENEZUELAN GOZADERA.......2006-04-07

INDEED ONE OF THEIR BEST ALBUMS FOLLOWED BY THEIR FIRST ONE "THE NEW SOUNDS OF VENEZUELAN GOZADERA". tHEY MAKE YOU DANCE, THEY MAKE YOU HAPPY, THEY MAKE MY DAY EVERYTIME I SPIN THEIR MUSIC. IF YOU GET A CHANCE OF SEEING THEM LIVE...DON'T THINK TWICE, THEY ARE "AWESOME" YOU WON'T STOP DANCING FROM THE VERY FIRST BEAT!! LOS AMIGOS INVISIBLES ARE MY "AMIGOS" AS WELL.

Excelente.......2005-12-24

In this new work, Los amigos Invisibles, not only show his particular sound of Acid Latin Jazz, but they expose his maturity and versatility in each of the songs. This venezuelan group is raised as the only flag of his country in foreign territory, for the only one does not say. His topics reflects the good sound of the Funk, Acid Jazz and the soft notes of the Bossa in the topic "Playa Azul ". Indisputably, a great work.

Best Latin band today.......2005-11-04

Los Amigos are, simply put, the hottest -- and best -- Latin act in music today. Their incorporation of traditional latin rhythms with jazz, funk and rock meld into a sound uniquely their own. Venezuelan Zingason continues the tradition of The New Sound of the Venezuelan Gozadera, Arepa 3000 and their limited release self-titled LP (which can be obtained via the LAI website). "Ease Your Mind" (in English, weirdly enough) may be the best track here, followed by its Spanish phonetic equivalent "Isyormain." And, of course, throughout the disc LAI never lose their humor or clever deviousness.

Also, if you EVER get a chance to catch Los Amigos live in concert, I guarantee you one of the BEST times of your life! They are simply SPECTACULAR!

Awesome band, awesome CD!.......2005-10-28

I saw these guys live in NYC during the Latin Alternative Music Conference. They rocked my world! Live show was split up into smooth first half and funky second half. I was so impressed I had to go and buy a CD. This album stays true to the live performance, containing smooth and suave songs as well as funky latin grooves. It's been in my car stereo for 3 weeks!
