4 out of 5 stars Not as good as the film..........2007-05-06

I remembered the music in the movie as being a little better than it actually is. I was a little disappointed in the CD.

3 out of 5 stars disappointing.......2007-03-26

It just wasn't what I thought it would be and I personally didn't like it. But it is good music.

5 out of 5 stars it's all about the Malagueña.......2004-12-01

i loved the movie and the music there is good. i really like the Malagueña so i learned how to play it on guitar. the song is great i enjoyed the movie as much as i enjoyed the sound track

5 out of 5 stars Start to Finish, a Real Mexi-CAN of a Soundtrack.......2004-11-30

Alright, so the main reason I got the soundtrack was Pistolero by Juno Reactor,a real driving, pumped-up techno song. I started to get into the rest of the music on the soundtrack, and I find it an essential cd I carry along with me. The great thing about this soundtrack is you can listen in on Mexican traditional music and a glimpse of the culture, and still have some real badass-sounding guitar! Whatever you may think of the film, you can imagine the actors playing their parts in your head, since they play and sing in the soundtrack (as the first one). There is an aura in the music I can't put my finger on; there's a history, an old feel to it, but it lingers with new musical ideas. Kinda like the movie, in terms of making it. I agree fullheartedly with previous reviews: where the movie fails, the music fills in the gaps and expands on Mexican music, making the entire movie/soundtrack experience very deep and epic. I dunno, maybe I'm rambling, but I emphasize that this soundtrack adds culture and kickass to your collection, as it did mine.

5 out of 5 stars Better than the movie!.......2004-11-21

When I first saw this film I was shocked at its total stupidity. I was a big fan of the first Desperado and this sequel completely choked my enthusiasm. One thing that was good about this film though was the music. I have to admit it, the music was excellent and in harmony with the motion picture. The best tracks on this CD are Traeme Paz, El Mariachi and Siente Mi Amor (Salma Hayek brings out the best in her sensuality in this song). I'm not a big fan of Latino music but some of these songs are so beautiful they deserve to be listened to. Yo Te Quiero and Cuka Rocka both are well known songs and excellent to dance to, while Flor Del Mal is a very nice and chilling ballad. This CD is a great addition to your music collection, don't hesitate to buy it.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Music Extravaganza.......2007-02-24

Flamenco a go-go is an extraordinary musical journey, so deep and emotional that really surprised me. I was a little skeptical about this release even if I always liked a lot of things Steve did in the past and I have always admired his talent and musicality sincerely. But this title, this word, "flamenco" left me with some doubts (even if I like a lot of spanish stuff from Paco De Lucia, John McLaughlin etc). I did buy this one almost for collection reasons but when I listened it for the first time, it really blew my mind! The incredible sonic magma Steve presents here is something really unique and of the highest musical value. I mean, it's art, can't say more than this. It's not something made for commercial reasons but it's a labour of love. Pure love, pure art without compromises. Some of you maybe could think at this work as some sort of elevator music due to the ingredients of this awkward release, classical guitar, synth, loops, flamenco influences and an "old fashioned" hair metal guitar hero ... Nothing more wrong my friends! What we have here is a fantastic musician, really creative and corageous but even a greater artist and songwriter. The music is really creative you have to go deep in it for yourself to believe. Sure there are some flamenco's characteristics here and there, but this music is something totally unique and totally Steve Stevens in the end because his musical personality, even the same you maybe appreciated in Atomic Playboys or in the Billy Idol's works (like I did), is here in every single bit of music. There are amazing musical twists and turns, melodic lines, guitar chops and new, totally unpredictable arrangements here fused into something new and unique. It is right like another guy said in another review, there are some James Bond quotations here and there, really funny and clever. I told you, it's something different, a record that every music lover should own .. I want to add just this. Steve's musicality is not something you meet very often. It is something precious, his melodic ideas, his music concepts are brilliant and precious, believe me, I'm a musician. The use of colours in music is something Steve has mastered, some tunes are exotic, some evocative, some aggressive, some tender and dreamy. Each tune is unique, I particularly love "Cinecittà" and "Riviera 68", or "Our man in Istanbul" but I don't want to point out one song, because every tune here is meticolously tailor made to project an array of emotions and has tons of things to admire from a musical and artistic point of view. Discover them for yourself! The only song that I find Steve could do better is the opener. I don't like the arrangement ... too much Gypsy Kings for me! But apart from that ... a perfect album. I know that probably this one is not for everyone. People generally tend to like a music genre and to go only for that. If this is your case, this is not your album. This album is for those who have no prejudice, those who want to put the cd in the reader, close the lights and be taken on a musical journey they never took and that they will never forget. I would sugggest this one to my best friends.

In the end one thing about the cd. Mine is the enhanced version (I don't know if there's another one without the extra materials but anyway ...). You can find the video footage for the tune Dementia which is in the cd. It is a live version recorded on tour. Really nice! Then you will find a Steve's short bio and essentially nothing more. And one thing more. This album is recorded very very well. Actually I didn't have the chance to listen it in my hi end system but I will do ASAP and I'll write something about the recording qualities of this album that I feel they are a lot. ENJOY!!

4 out of 5 stars Steve Stevens acoustic - almost..........2007-01-18

Granted, not everyone is a Steve Stevens fan. If you're not a fan, there may be a track or two here that would entice you - especially if you are into Flamenco guitar or just like instrumentals.

If you are a Steve Stevens fan, then this CD is probably a must have but likely not a frequent listen. Like for the non-fans, there are definitely tracks here that'll find their way onto your iPod and work well in a shuffle.

Personally, I listen to alot of instrumental music - especially guitar work. This is the first solo Stevens CD I've purchased. I started with Bozzio/Steven/Levins "Situation Dangerous" (Five+ stars there). I keep in in iTunes on a shuffle while I write.

I'm a PhD student. I spend alot of time writing and have to drown out the rest of the world. For that purpose, this CD works well. The mix is space-filling and drowns out even the most rowdy grad lounges or coffee shops. It'd probably be good to run to as well - if I ever put my running shoes on again...

2 out of 5 stars flameco a go-go.......2006-07-04

i was disapointed. His compositions had some great ideas that he just didn't follow thru.

5 out of 5 stars Blast of Guitar Creativity.......2005-07-02

Flamenco A Go-Go is not so much about Steve Steven's guitar playing (which is stupendous) as it is about the total flaming fabric of sound Steve weaves. The whole thing has a vaguely flamenco, or arabian feel to it. There's also a hint of 50's spy thriller in it. Some song are blasting torrents of acoustic flamenco with strong backing, others are soft acoustic melodies with solo flute backing. But even that soft track whacks you when you least expect it with a harder rock section. There's even a vocal track -- in some kind of arabic! -- incredibly, it fits right in. Altogether it's a roller coaster ride of melody and composition.

If you have some firm idea about what you are expecting, don't get this CD -- it won't match up. It's unlike any other CD, even from Steve. But if you can keep an open mind, you will heartily enjoy this wide-ranging flamenco-guitar-rock album.

5 out of 5 stars FLAMENCO? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' FLAMENCO!.......2005-02-26

Don't be fooled by the title. While the music does have a flamenco sound to it, the pieces often rock very hard, and even the slower numbers or more traditional numbers have explosive moments and amazing guitar work as their underpinning. I first heard the song Our Man In Istanbul on a Warren Miller DVD and was instantly hooked. The sonic dynamics on this CD are incredible, and you will want a lot of this stuff on your MP3 players when you go skiing, boarding, jogging or biking at a fast clip. It is uplifting, stimulating and beautiful all at once. I strongly recommend this CD!

2 out of 5 stars Beau Hill sucked the life out of Steve Stevens.......2007-03-15

Revisiting this album after listening to "Black Light Syndrome", "Situation Dangerous", and the single he did with Billy Idol for the movie "Speed", this album is almost a Flintstonian execution of a metal spoof album. With lyrics like "an SDI like a gun at his hip when he meets you" on the title track, you are not sure if this album is aiming towards a joke in Spinal Tap/Bad News territory or if the album is just going into the really awful album realm from where no comedy can be derived. The playing is top notch, the song writing varies from one or 2 good songs, to the bad, to the absolutely insipid. Beau Hill also produced Winger; it sounds like either he encouraged Steve and boys to go over the top in terms of camping it up or instead lead them off the cliff.

4 out of 5 stars "It's a downtown meltdown".......2007-01-01

Steve Stevens followed up his incredible performance on "Whiplash Smile" with "Atomic Playboys". I thought he sounded good with Billy Idol but "Whiplash Smile" was the last album Stevens did with Idol. Admittedly, I do like "Whiplash Smile" better, but then again Billy Idol is one of the premiere rock vocalists. My favorites on this CD are "Atomic Playboys", "Desperate Heart", "Crackdown" and "Run Across Desert Sands". You're going to hear the wild guitar style that you became accustomed to when he was with Idol. I believe I first found this on vinyl in the early 90's. "Run Across Desert Sands", really does sound great if you're on a trip and drive through the desert.

3 out of 5 stars Between 3 and 4 stars. Good but not Atomic.......2006-06-23

Mr Stevens, side man to Billy Idol + guitar hero of the 2nd degree unleashes his Atomic Playboys for some serious party rock action.

Good points: The shredding of Mr Stevens himself, Straight rockers like the title track/lead cut, changes of pace like Power of Suggestion with it's female backing vocals and only one instrumental. Production by Beaut Hill and Stevens himself and the whole thing fronted by cover art by HR Giger.

Bad bits: Not many - but questions marks over the whole thing cos while it's fairly good in it's own right it's questionable as to how necessary for your collection it is. It does seem very calculated at times and how many debuts in '89 could get Beau Hill + Ted Templeman involved and get HR Giger cover artwork? No chaps, there was some serious corporate bendover going on here.

But over all better than a lot of the hard rock that came out in '89 and better played and thought out and also blessed with mostly straight forward songs with limited guitar hero shredding that could of taken over too much.

A good album but not essential

5 out of 5 stars Atomic!.......2005-10-27

Atomic! Nothing less! Atomic guitar playing is what Steve Stevens delivers here, in each track of the album, but not only this. He is and was an excellent song writer and performer in the hard rock category and he proved it here at his best. There are here some songs which needs to be considered some of the best examples of the hairmetal genre and nevertheless, exceptional examples of good songwriting overall. These are in my opinion. "Atomic Playboys", the opener, a catchy killer hard rock anthem which you will listen to again and again without never be tired of. "Power of suggestion" a strange r'n'blues type of thing, with horn parts which will have you beg for more. "Desperate heart" one of the definitive power ballads of the era. Absolutly fantastic! "Slipping into fiction" an incredible riff song that each time I can't do nothing but listen to it ten times before being tired of it (for the day). But each track from this album deserves to be discovered because each one is really a gem. Perry McCarty, the very good lead singer here, previously has been the singer in a band called Warrior for the album "Fighting for the earth" wich you may also like a lot. It was a more classic metal oriented and a little less glamourous album than this work from Stevens but still very good. You may find a very good Steve Stevens in Billy Idol albums but more than anywhere else in Vince Neil's album "Exposed". In the end I want to point out the exceptional guitar sounds Stevens choose here. Absolutly perfect, hard, focused, direct, heavy, clean distorted sounds. Steve is really an atomic guitar player! An album that you absolutly should have! (It has also an excellent H.R. Giger cover ... one of the fews the maestro realized together with an album for Blondie, another for ELP, one for Danzig maybe and another one for another metal band I don't remember the name .. sorry)

4 out of 5 stars A collection-item for Baywatch-fans !.......2004-10-22

Also for Baywatch-fans this CD from Steve Stevens is a worth recommendation to their collection. The CD contains the song "Power of suggestion" that was used for the Baywatch-episode "The cretin of the shallows"(1989 / season 1). While hearing this song, you'll remember Eddie seeing Gina everywhere he walks.

If you are interested in songs that featured on Baywatch, you can buy here on Amazon.com the Book: "Baywatch - Rescued from Prime Time". This book contains all credits from songs/artists (like Steve Stevens), that you can buy here on Amazon.com

I have added 4 stars, because the soundquality of this CD could have been recorder louder.

5 out of 5 stars Good Music.......2007-03-12

While i would stop short in saying that it has better songs than I Cant Stop The Rain and Dont You Let Me Down on his first solo,i can say this is a better overall effort.
It contains a Gene Simmons song called Feels Like Heaven,which he was so kind as to let Peter have.I am surprized that Kiss didnt actually do that song as its quite a good song.
I cannot find a bad song here.I actually bought this album in about 1985.It was as rare as anything in those days.News of what Kiss was doing was scarce,let alone ex members,there was a heavy metal shop in Melbourne central.But i'd hardly call this heavy metal.Problem was this album crashed initially as far as record sales went.I got it as an import,and i was glad i did cause i realy enjoyed this album better than any of his other solo's.
Went through a patch and just kept playing it,but the radio stations refused to have anything to do with Kiss in those days.1982 was a bad year to release this album.
Going through the tracks in this album he realy did a fine job at picking some emotional tracks like Tears,Jealous Guy(which is different to the other versions ive heard but still quite good),Let Me Rock You(I realy like this tune)and First Day In The Rain which are all excellent.
Also he had some good disco/rock type tracks here like Let It Go,Destiny,Some Kinda' Hurricane and Bad Boys,not a bad song here.
It was a while till he released another solo after this,but it wasnt because this was a bad album.

5 out of 5 stars Peter Criss's Greatest Album!.......2005-02-28

After releasing two phenomenal solo albums in 1978 and 1980, Peter Criss returned to the studio to record the greatest album of his solo career, 1982s "Let Me Rock You." Joining Peter is his third solo venture was the great songwritter Russ Ballard (the writer of Ace's remake of "New York Groove"). Taking the producer's chair once again was Peter's personal favorite, Vinnie Poncia. Together, this trio put together a marvelous album that is too good to put into words. The song-writting is top-notch and Peter's vocals are the best they have ever been. His vocals are the cleanest on this album than any of his other previous work. Better than any other album he's recorded with KISS or solo. The whole album is truly magnificent. The sound of this album is more rock and roll and mixed in is the piano, the brass and the synthesizer that Peter uses very well. This album can please anyone and it is probably one of my favorite albums I have ever bought.

The opening track, "Let It Go" is an excellent piece of Rock and Roll. Great vocals by Peter and the guitar riffs are excellent. This is one of Peter's best songs to date. The next track, "Tears" was in fact co-written by former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent and also plays guitar on this track. This is very powerful semi-ballad. The song moves at a solid pace with a very powerful instrumentals backing up Peter's voice. The next track, "Move On Over" was written by Criss and Poncia. These two make a great songwriting pair. This is the greatest dance song Peter Criss has ever written. This is very solid rock and roller that contains heavy guitar solos and is a true masterpiece as it instantly become another Peter Criss classic.

The next track, "Jealous Guy", a track originally performed by John Lennon, Criss did an excellent job in remaking this rock classic. Peter's vocals are truly magnificent and he did an excellent job recreating the feel and emotion to Lennon's original version. The next track, "Destiny" is a very heavy rock and roller. The song is about meeting the love of your life and how it all happens because of destiny. The lead guitar truly shines here. Listen to the sample and you'll know what I mean. Another excellent classic is, "Some Kinda' Hurricane" is one of the songs that Russ Ballard wrote. The song is very heavy instrumentally and heavy on Peter's vocals. Another instant classic right here! The title track, "Let Me Rock You" is actually a 1950s style doo wop. Peter does a marvelous job on this song and he captured the style of doo wop very well.

Track eight, the second ballad of the album, "First Day In the Rain" is a good Peter ballad, but not his absolute best. Another song about being out on his own again. The next track, "Feel Like Heaven" was actually written by Gene Simmons. This is a lighter heavy metal track that sounds great with Peter's jazzy style voice over those guitars. Finally, the last track, "Bad Boys" is a track that Peter based on his childhood and advice his mother would give him as a child, "Don't go where the BAD BOYS go." This is light-sounding track and is the the second slowest song on the album but still is another unique Peter Criss song.

This album is without a doubt is Peter Criss's greatest moment as a solo artist and no one can say any different. I was hooked on this album as soon as I listened to it one time fully. I've owned this album for only 1 day and here I am already telling you how great this is. It's so good, don't even bother listening to samples of the songs. This is not an album that takes a while to get used to or anything like that. On this album, the Catman sinks his claws into you. Just sit back and let Peter Criss rock you away! Rock on, Catman!

5 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL MOMENT FROM THE CAT-ALOGUE.......2005-01-03

This CD is essential and may surprise many doubters and nay-sayers who have dismissed Peter as the least capable Kiss member past and present. Peter Criss excudes charisma on this one with a stylish collection of material that still stands up today some 20 odd years plus. Having possibly accepted that he was not the greatest songwriter, he opted wisely for a collection of his own work and some contemporary writers such as Russ Ballard. Neither the best vocalist or drummer it is the heart and soul that draws the listener in. Highlights abound and the styles are varied. "Let It Go" is a great opener somewhat reminisant of Dynasty's "Dirty Living". It is the next cab off the rank in the Vinnie Vincent (then known as Vincent Cusano) penned "Tears" that is the stella highlight. This is the best songs Peter has put his vocals too bar non, and could have been with some push a radio hit. One assumes this song was recommended to Criss by the label during the early recording sessions for the masked ones "Creatures" opus. Indeed "Feel Like Heaven" was penned by Gene Simmons although that song feels as if it were derived from the "Unmasked" and "Dynasty" eras and is nowhere near as good. "First Day In The Rain" is sublime too both emotive and atmospheric being a dreamy ballad no way insipid in inspiration like "Beth". The title track "Let Me Rock You" is fifties doo wop and is kitchy but likeable too, reminding me a little of Billy Joel's 'Uptown Girl'. The closer of "Bad Boys" is an obvious nod to the Stones and is possibly the best Criss penned number to date. Obviously ignored by a label and a record buying public who had out grown Kiss let alone the ex drummer, it is a real shame because "Let Me Rock You" was accessible pop rock with a slight eighties feel that deserved huge sales. Certainly more accessible than ever before.

4 out of 5 stars Criss rock and roll over........2004-07-02

Criss is here far from the Kiss sound. But it doesnt matter. Its
a little improvment from the Out of Control album, and it sounds fresh in todays music. Kiss producer Vini Poncia has taken over the production, and the soundpicture is pure magic. Its sympho rock, espesially on Track 2 Tears. Let it go Track 1 is more rock and roll. Move on Over Track 3 its more simple. He also have
a go on the John Lennon hit Jealous Guy. Eat youre heart out Brian Ferry, who also had a minor hit with this one. Track 5 Destiny has a certain quality over it, but its not Criss on his best. Track 6 Somekinda hurricane, is a real rocker, fast and moving towards a climax of pure rock orgasm. Track 7 Let me Rock you, is the title track, and been out for a surprise. Criss doing doooo op, and its doesnt sounds like rock, is pure pop with the sound from the sixteees. This is a treat, and earfriendly. Pure joy. More or less. Track 8 First day in the rain is a ballad, but its not up to it`s usuall standard. Track 9
Feel like heaven is back on what we can called a "light heavy metal track". Track 10 Bad Boys is rythm and blues and its interesting. Over all Its time for a new Solo album from Peter Criss. Peter Criss will surely rock you on this one.

5 out of 5 stars Peter Criss Shines!.......2004-01-12

Oh man this is what the peter criss solo lp should have been.Peter finaly turns it up a notch and proves even without Kiss he can boogie.Check out Let It Go you;ll be playing it over and over like a giddy child with nintendo

        Marlon Brando
        Birth Date: 4/03/1924 - Omaha, Nebraska
        Died: 7/01/2004 - Los Angeles, California

        Special footnotes on Marlon Brando the actor and person --- after "A Streetcar Named Desire" for which he received the first of his eight Academy Award nominations, Brando appeared in a string of Academy Award-nominated performances--in "Viva Zapata"! (1952), "Julius Caesar" (1953) and the summit of his early career, Kazan's "On the Waterfront" (1954). For his "Waterfront" portrayal of meat-headed longshoreman Terry Malloy, the washed-up pug who "coulda been a contender," Brando won his first Oscar --- his outstanding performance as the rebel-without-a-cause Johnny in "The Wild One" (1953) --- then came young director Francis Ford Coppola who believed there was only one actor who could play his films godfather, with an already tight cast of actors he had assembled for his film, "The Godfather" of method acting himself--Marlon Brando --- Coppola won the fight for Brando --- Marlon Brando won his second Oscar, and Paramount came up with the then top-grossing film of all-time, "The Godfather" (1972), a gangster movie most critics now judge one of the greatest American films of all time --- Brando helped out a lot of minorities in America, including African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native American Indians --- one of the innovators of the Method acting technique in American film --- "We are all Brando's children," Jack Nicholson pointed out in 1972. "He gave us our freedom." He was truly "The Godfather" of American acting--and he was just 30 years old.

        Absolutely unforgettable scores from "THE MEN" (1950), composer Dimitri Tiomkin --- "A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE" (1951), composer Alex North --- "VIVA ZAPATA" (1952), composer Alex North --- "JULIUS CAESAR" (1953), composer Alex North --- "THE WILD ONE" (1953), composer Keith Stevens --- "ON THE WATERFRONT" (1954), composer Leonard Bernstein --- "SAYONARA" (1957), composer Franz Waxman --- "THE YOUNG LIONS" (1958), composer Hugo Friedhofer --- "ONE-EYED JACKS" (1961), composer Hugo Friedhofer --- "MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY" (1962), composer Bronislau Kaper ---"THE CHASE" (1966), composer John Barry --- "THE GODFATHER" (1972), composer Nino Rota --- "THE LAST TANGO IN PARIS" (1972), composer Gato Barbieri --- "THE MISSOURI BREAKS" (1976), composer John Williams --- "SUPERMAN" (1978), composer John Williams --- "APOCALYPSE NOW" (1979), composer Richard Wagner --- many have sold millions in Soundtracks, but here in this collection they all appear compliments of conductors Fitzpatrick, Bateman, Raine with The City of Prague Philharmonic featuring the Crouch End Festival Chorus --- with all the gusto of the original theatrical scores that graced the big screen.

        Outstanding album sequencing by James Fitzpatrick (producer), Reynold da Silva (executive producer) and David stoner (release co-ordinator) --- brought to new heights by The City Of Prague Philharmonic---conducting this world renown Philharmonic is James Fitzpatrick, Paul Bateman and Nic Raine --- and must make mention of the label who leads the pack in releasing brilliant compilations from unforgettable films featuring the likes of --- Marlon Brandon (1924-2004) --- The Man and the Legend.
