John Lennon would have turned 67 in 2007. If alive, he could well be at the forefront of bringing peace to Darfur, where more than half a million have died from violence and disease during four years of rebel discord. So to create awareness of the ongoing conflict, Amnesty International (with permission from Yoko Ono) has mined Lennon's solo work and rounded up nearly two dozen current artists to reinterpret the music, which spans the ex-Beatle's entire post-band catalog (plus a pair from while the Fab Four were still in business). As with any attempt to cover Beatles-related music, results are hit and miss, with kudos going to Snow Patrol and the Postal Service for capturing the starkness of "Isolation" and "Grow Old with Me," respectively, Mexican rock band Jaguares for uncovering the fear and fury in "Gimme Some Truth," and (surprise!) Christina Aguilera for nailing the complex composition and mood of "Mother." Other highlights include Jackson Browne's piano-led "Oh My Love," Green Day's louder straight take on "Working Class Hero," and the Black Eyed Peas turning "Power to the People" into a gospelly protest. Will resurrecting 30-to-40-year-old messages of peace and love be enough to help end the brutalities in Darfur? That remains to be seen. But selecting John Lennon as the author of those messages will make people listen and, with this collection, may keep them listening. --Scott Holter

Album Description

Featuring songs by the iconic John Lennon newly recorded by some of today's biggest as well as emerging artists, Instant Karma: The Campaign to Save Darfur is a major benefit-album project. In an effort to mobilize activism around this catastrophe, musicians unite to save lives. Some of the biggest artists in the world, along with today's emerging artists, all coming together for an unprecedented, brilliant collection of JOHN LENNON "covers." Proceeds from the campaign will go directly to support Amnesty International's urgent work on Darfur and other human rights crises worldwide.

Disappointing.......2007-08-06

I bought this CD after having heard the Jack Johnson version of "Imagine," which I loved. Unfortunately, it turns out that that is the only song on the CD that I will ever actually listen to. (Why would they even put Avril Lavigne on there?)

What it really comes down to for me, though, is that I would rather listen to John Lennon's own versions of his music any day.

Supreme.......2007-08-04

This is a very nice collaction of one of the best song writers of all time

Amazing.......2007-08-04

This CD is for such a good cause, plus the artists who re-compose John Lennon's songs do a fantastic job on it.

Best tribute CD EVER.......2007-08-03

Each track is perfect for each group. No-one was out of their element. Green Day's version of Working Class Hero haunted me as much as the original. I enjoyed every track....And I am a John Lennon fan...and found the music truly a tibute to his genius.

Beautiful Boy.......2007-07-30

Fantastic cause brings together fine performers who bring to life the intensity and focus of one of our greatest singer/songwriters ever. His insight into the world is amazing. The only negative thing one can say about this album is that it reminds us of the fact that no one can sing his songs the way he did. He was a treasure who a younger generation should be exposed to more often.

There will likely be lots of scoffing at Marc Anthony's interpretation--both on disc and onscreen--of late salsa singer Hector Lavoe. But let's not forget that Anthony is a salsa superstar in his own right. He has anchored some of the genre's most thrilling moments and has taken salsa to audiences not normally exposed to the sweltering sound. The El Cantante soundtrack is a solid effort, notable for Anthony's dedication to recreating Lavoe's distinct delivery and phrasing. He puts aside his own emotive stylings for a more subdued performance on several tracks, including the celebratory "Mi Gente" and the mournful "Escandalo." Anthony is virtually unrecognizable during "Che Che Cole," "Quitate," and the standout "Que Lio," which makes the project all the more intriguing. Jennifer Lopez, Anthony's wife in real life and onscreen in El Cantante, croons pensive closing ballad "Toma de Mi." Even without the film, the soundtrack stands as an earnest homage to a tragic icon. --Joey Guerra

FANTASTIC CD, MARC ROCKS. THE MOVIE IS GREAT JLO AND MARC DID AN AWESOME JOB. TOO BAD THE CRITICS BASHED THE MOVIE. THE OPENING OF THE MOVIE WILL BRING CHILLS UP AND DOWN YOUR BACK.

Buena Banda Sonora De La Pelicula.......2007-08-04

When I heard this album, I expected for Marc Anthony to adapt to Hector Lavoe's style to interpret the songs, not just imitate his voice (UJUM!, Van Lester)!!! and anyone else that can a buck only as a Hector Lavoe imitator or Hector Lavoe "covers" orquestras. And I think Marc Anthony accomplished that without using completely his vocal range. Remember, Hector Lavoe was not known for that, but more the way he spills his emotions and interacts with his public with his phrases on stage. The songs chosen are some of the obvious popular tunes, some that are not really the most popular tunes from his catalog. I guess that might depend where you lived in that era, PR, NYC, South America, the favorites vary slightly by market or area. I have not seen the movie yet, but I imagine the reason these songs were chosen for this sountrack is because it fit the best with the "movie's standpoint" of Hector Lavoe's live. You can't compare salsa quality from the Fania era, that is something that is locked and treasured, but I think for 2007 this album is done musically very good. It's a well done album with a great musical quality in today's standards, (stop comparing with the Fania era, that was the sacred time golden age of salsa and is never coming back). I recommend highly this album. The main reason I gave this album four stars is the last song, by Jennifer Lopez, it is very out of place from the other songs

*** Great Songs Re-Made... Not Quite the Same! ***.......2007-08-04

Let me start by saying that I am one of those hardcore Hector Lavoe fanatics that gets up to dance every time any one of Lavoe's songs starts playing - be it in a restaurant, a nightclub, "la calle", you name it...

Hector Lavoe had an undeniable talent captivating the audiences with not only his voice, but his personal style back in the 70's and early 80's... Let's face it, there will never be music like Lavoe's (which is also true for all the other big "Salsa Gorda" Soneros - e.g. Tito Rodriguez, Ismael Rivera, Tito Puente, just to mention a few) - Even though I believe Mark Anthony did a great job acting in Hector's capacity (I realized this after seeing the film), Hector's music is still unparalleled today and always will be (which should not be unexpected). Objectively speaking, these songs make more sense in the movie than they do when put together as a standalone compact-disc. For my everyday listening and dancing leisure, I would much rather enjoy the unadulterated Lavoe's originals (which I do not think is particularly unexpected).

What I really expected from Mark Anthony was for him to incorporate some of his own flavor into this production. Mark Anthony is gifted in his own ways, and he should have allowed for this album to stand-out by being a little bit more like himself. Should he have done this, we would have ended up with one of the best salsa CD's ever - After all, this was a great opportunity for Mark to interpret, and not just imitate, during the remaking of some of yesterday's most-treasured salsa classics while concurrently allowing himself to reach today's "newer" salsa crowds... And as far as us consumers go - Why buy a less-than-perfect replica, when you can listen to the crème de la crème - which has stood the test of time?

Overall, this CD lacks originality and since Mark's intentions were to mirror Lavoe verbatim, I should write my evaluation with that in mind... And no, there is no Mark Lavoe.

Some extremely HOT music........2007-08-01

One song in particular "AQUANILE" is really hot, hot, hot. If you don't want to get up and dance to this, you must be dead.

Great soundtrack...up until track 10!.......2007-07-30

I really was enjoying this CD! 9 tracks of 70's style Salsa (something I grew up listening to) done with new arrangements and STELLAR vocals by the swesome Marc Anthony...

...up until track 10! I really, REALLY wish hubby Marc would be honest with Jen and tell her SHE CAN'T SING! A well written song with a HORRIBLE singer, brings this CD down from 5 stars to a 3! Talk about buzz kill.

A high recommend, if you can somehow edit out the 10th track.

Monterey International Pop Festival.......2007-07-27

I found this by just reading the newspaper here in Georgia. Surprised not to know this was before Woodstock! A very good collectors item. Sound is great and very much LIVE! Good quality and you just can't stop playing.

Worth the price.......2007-07-09

For those of us who remember the Summer of Love and still enjoy the music of that era, this is lots of fun.
You get to hear Eric Burdon sing about Monterey. You also hear a very polished set of Simon and Garfunkel. Simon and Garfunkel play their two best songs of the time, Homeward Bound and the classic Sounds of Silence.
Janis Joplin is also in top forn with Big Brother singing the blues.
The Byrds with David Crosby finish the first CD
On the second CD you hear Grace Slick and the Airplane do their two classic songs, Somebody to Love and White Rabbit.
You get to hear two songs of Otis Redding and his classic performance at Monterey. The real find to me is Buffalo Springfield with Stills and Young doing, For What its Worth. This is the only recording where you can actually hear them live.
The Who seem out of place but sing the Eddie Cochoran standard Summertime Blues and the Classic My Generation.
Jimi Hendrix does The Wind Cries Mary and Bob Dylans' Like a Rolling Stone. I would have liked to see at least one more song included.
I do however have his performance on DVD and hope to purchase the CD when its released once again on CD.
The Mamas and the Papas end the CD with Straight Shooter, which to me is very weak. They do recover with California Dreamin. Scot McKenzie sings If youre going to San Francisco (Be sure to wear flowers in your hair)
For those who remember and love this music I would recommend it.

The Complete Monterey Pop Festival.......2007-07-07

The DVD Disc case said 3 discs, was advertised as a 2 disc set. Disc # 1 had 7 good tunes, Disc # 2 had 4 good tunes, OK for the price if you like Simon & Garfunkel, the Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, The Mammas & The Papas.

Overall, OK

Consider Purchasing the 3-DVD or 4-CD Box Instead.......2007-07-04

First of all, if your interest in this June 1967 concert is only casual, or if you're on a budget, or if you're trying to conserve space in your home, then this 2-CD set will suffice. If so, then consider my rating 4-star. It contains some really great performances, has a total of 26 tracks and clocks in at around 95 minutes. It also boasts 3 previously unreleased on CD tracks (2 by Simon & Garfunkel, 1 by Buffalo Springfield). So, this is a fine compact collection For What It's Worth [sorry, I couldn't resist].

However, for those of you who really dig The Summer of Love sound, then I recommend getting the 3-DVD set The Complete Monterey Pop Festival - Criterion Collection which runs 238 minutes. This DVD set contains Pennebaker's original concert film, a second disk featuring the complete Hendrix and Otis Redding performances (possibly my 2 favorite sets), and the third disk has more than two hours of outtake footage including several major bands that never appeared in the Pennebaker film for various reasons. For details, search DVDJournal.com.

Or maybe if you're got money to burn and want a collectible, consider Amazon Used & New for 1997 4-CD set Monterey International Pop Festival [30th Anniversary Box Set] or the older 4-CD set from 1992: Monterey International Pop Festival. Both 4-CD sets have 70 tracks - close to 3 times what the new 2-CD set contains. Each CD is over 70 minutes with 5 cuts by Big Brother & Joplin, 7 by The Byrds, 5 by Jefferson Airplane, 5 by The Mamas & The Papas, 6 by The Who, 5 classic Otis Redding and 9 stellar Hendrix tracks (also available as Jimi Plays Monterey).

Like I said, the 2-CD set is a bargain for what it is. It's a real shame that Razor & Tie didn't produce two 70+ minute disks since there were so many other performances to include and over 45 minutes left to fill. But my money is on the other options. Still, I bought the 2-CD set anyway for the 3 unreleased cuts which augmented my 1992 set; those cuts are on the DVDs. I don't notice any difference in the sound quality between the new set and the 1992 version. As others who reviewed the original box sets noted, the sound quality isn't the best (generally not as good as Woodstock) and there are some performers who frankly aren't that interesting, even on the 2-CD version.

PS: The 40th anniversary is being celebrated the weekend of July 28th, 2007. Peace!

A Truly Magical Moment.......2007-07-02

... A Truly Magical Moment ... Monterey Pop was a truly magical moment in the history of Rock and Roll. The summer of 1966 was one of the great peaks of "The SIXTIES," which from a musical perspective I believe really began in 1964 and ended in 1975, peaking in the summer of 1971. So much great music came out in this time, it is no wonder we still look back on it in total amazement.

... This double CD is a real gem of a recording, and a real boon and blessing to all of us who lived though those days, enjoying the music firsthand as it happened. This was before Woodstock, before The Concert for Bangla Desh, and before Watkins Glen. This was a rare moment in time before it all exploded like a super nova of sound out into the world; a special moment of graceful, electric, ecstatic excitement that was shared by musicians and fans alike. It was an intimate experience treasured by all who were there. This music is beaming with embryonic beauty and charm. A truly magical moment! ... YOWZA! - The Aeolian Kid

It was GOOD but not WONDERFUL.......2007-07-31

I have almost all of IZs albums and that's the reason I bough this one. It was then, that I realized that it was "arranged" with a big orchestra. I guess it is OK to listen to because his voice and the orchestrations are nice on their own, but I'm not crazy about it because I cannot think they necessarily go toghether well. It is probably just me, but I like his voice and his ukalele sound much better. It is still GOOD, don't get me wrong...but it's just my preference. But I loved the presentation...the cover is beautiful!

Wonderful World.......2007-07-28

The music on this CD is absolutely wonderful. In my opinion, Iz is one of the all time greats, especially for Hawaiian music. I have all of his CD's, and play them over and over. I recommend his albums to everyone. I think once you listen, you will be hooked. Happy Listening.

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC FROM HAWAII'S BEST NATIVE SON.......2007-07-28

I LOVE IZ'S MUSIC! HE SING FROM HIS HEART TO YOUR SOUL. I HAVE MOST OF THE SONGS THAT ARE ON THIS CD HERE ALREADY BUT THIS CD HERE HAS HIM SINGING WITH AN ORCHESTRA. AHH THE MAGIC MIXERS OF OUR TIME. THE ORCHESTRA / IZ WHAT MORE CAN YOU WANT! BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL... A GIFT FROM GOD

WHAT!!.......2007-07-23

Why ANYONE would feel the need the "remake" or add to the music of IZ is way beyond me (other than the obvious - $$$$). Skip this one and pick up any one of his previous albums - Trust me, they're all you'll ever need!

it is a good cd .......2007-07-22

I think that this is a good cd with the music of IZ, it has somewhat of a softer feeling to it.

First there was Cesaria Evora, Then Lura, and now, the Portuguese/Cape Verdean singer/composer/guitarist Sara Tavares. The title of this CD (pronounced bal-on-SAY) refers to the equilibrium necessary for balancing her mixed, Crioulo culture that stretches from Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Blessed with an angelic voice, and a knack for writing accessible compositions that are global, yet ancestral, Tavares is closer to Les Nubians than to Evora, as the title track makes clear. She's more about adapting her homeland's musical conceptions to include Angolan sembe Afrobeats on "Poka Terra," with rapper Melo D, reggae, and Cape Verdean coladeira rhythms on "Planeta Sukri," co-starring vocalist Boy Ge Mendes. Fadista Ana Moura helps Tavares tell her soulful story on "De Nua." With this heartfelt, autobiographical work, Sara Tavares emerges as a new dark and lovely diva for this decade. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Balance.......2007-08-06

I first learned of the album on NPR. After previewing a couple of clips, I knew that I had to add it to my collection. The album exceeded my expectations and I love listening to it as I drive down the Santa Barbara coastline...

Relaxing but great cultural sound.......2007-08-06

This is a fabulous sound of contemporary mixed culture. Very easy to listen to, and always healing and calming my mind, yet it is very urban sound, which would be perfect for casual cafe, outside dining, drinks over the city lights and driving a convertible along the coast. Very nice music!!

This music is mellow, yet enlivening, calm, yet catchy. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

In Portugal this singer is very famous, you can see her face everywhere, is the star of the edge of Europe, this second album is the best this singer had made, happiness and energy, this artist is great!

Delicious joyous and warm enfolding beauty!.......2007-03-02

Cape Verde gives us a great gift in Sara Tavares! I saw a video without sound on an airplane for Balance - I was trying to guess the tempo or the style of music, but I got caught up in watching the dancers. Then I listened to a sample online, and was sold! After I bought this album, I listened to it 7 times in a row that first day. It is lush and varied and her voice is delicate and strong. The complex rhythms and instrumentations, the gorgeous Portugese language, and the general buoyancy of this record are addictive. I listen to it at least once a day and I have had now for about a month. Support this artist and buy her work, don't download!

Viento a Favor is Mexican superstar Alejandro Fernandez's 15th studio disc in as many years as a singer. But he still approaches each project with the urgency and earnestness of a newbie singer. That's what makes each tune a small celebration, an intimate moment of discovery. There are no wasted moments amid the sterling arrangements, some of the best in Fernandez's lush pop repertoire. (He's an equally heralded ranchera singer.) Viento a Favor features tunes written by Leonel Garcia and Noel Schajris (better known as emotive Latin-pop duo Sin Bandera) and Mexican singer Reyli Barba. They're all taken to wuthering heights by Fernandez's stellar vocal range, which goes from hushed whispers to booming intensity. First single "Te Voy a Perder" is an epic romance, and "Amor Gitano," a duet with bilingual diva Beyoncé, expectedly smolders. Closing tune "Cuando Estamos Juntos" is another surprise, an acoustic-flavored ode to simple joy. --Joey Guerra

Customer Reviews:

He can just sing anything . . ........2007-07-26

. . . with this voice. This is definitely adult pop, the direction Alex's music has been taking for the last few years now. He's matured and so has his voice; it's much more resonant and you hear that better singing ballads and this type of smooth pop than the traditional mariachi music. Hard to pick a favorite here, but "Te Voy A Perder" and "Sin Consideracion" are the songs most likely to appeal across genres. Alex is sure to win some new fans with this mix. Even if you don't speak Spanish, he still makes you feel the mood of his songs and you will believe you understand what he's singing. He is La Voz (The Voice).

Very good........2007-07-22

Alejandro has a very pleasant voice that projects real feelings in the words he is expressing. Whether he sings pop or rancheras his voice captures the listener.

Not Alejandro's style.......2007-07-22

Love the hit song "Te voy a perder" and the song with Beyonce', but the rest of the songs are okay. Kinda boring. They are not Alejandro's style of music. I love Alejandro soooooo much I dream of him. I listen to his concert in Spain CD three to four times a week and watch his DVD very often. He's my idol. I love his other cd's also "Corazon Abierto" and his Mariachi CD's. He's awesome! This new cd of his, just isn't his style. I believe he's trying to get into the pop scene, but he's better with his balads and Mariachi music. If you want to listen to it, I suggest buying a used one instead and save your money.
Ale, you can come to my home anytime for dinner and ??!

Ale's big FAN!

AF, VIENTO A FAVOR.......2007-07-08

I HAVE BEEN AN A. FERNANDEZ FAN SINCE HIS FIRST ALBUM. FROM THEN TILL NOW, I STILL STAND BY WHAT IVE THOUGHT, THAT HE IS THE BEST MALE VOICE IVE EVER HEARD. THIS ALBUM IS SPECIAL BECAUSE OF ITS FEEL, ITS DIFFERENT.
ITS UNIQUE. WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE FIRST TRACK, YOU ARE WAITING ANXIOUSLY TO HEAR THE NEXT, ITS THAT GREAT.THE MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL, AND WHEN YOU ADD ALEXS' VOICE, YOU HAVE GOT A PERFECT ALBUM, YOU HAVE GOT VIENTO A FAVOR.

Alejandro's New Cd Showcases The Fact That As An Artist He Continues To Grow..."ERES", "CUANDO ESTAMOS JUNTOS", "AMOR GITANO"...While Retaining His Base..."TANTO AMAR", "ESTABAS AHI" & "SOLITARIO & SOLO". This Is Yet Another Fantastic Cd In A Long Line Of Great Cds!!!!! Alejandro Gives The World More Of That SWOON Worthy Voice, Listen To "ESTABAS AHI" And His Voice Washes Over You With Tenderness & Power!!!

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Debut.......2007-08-04

As a longtime Corrs fan I wasn't sure what to expect but Andrea has showed a great deal of courage by striking out on her own. The music is different from the "Corrs sound", so you need to approach it with a open mind & you'll find that it really grows on you. I am impressed by the different types of songs that are on the cd- uptempo, ballads, techno, etc. Like I said earlier, Andrea took a chance & it paid off big-time!

Don't worry, Corrs fans....IT's GREAT!.......2007-07-27

Despite reservations expressed by certain Corrs fans who wouldn't be satisfied with anything short of an annual re-issuing of "Talk On Corners", and the out-to-lunch, pathetic, irrelevant pop press, who have reviewed Andrea's clothes, hair, nieces and nephews, movie roles, friendship with Bono, everything EXCEPT the songs on this record, make no mistake: "Ten Feet High" is a FANTASTIC achievment. You'll love it. Great songs and great performances.
All the doubts, and snide remarks, are the same ones that accompanied the original releases of "In Blue", "Borrowed Heaven", and, yes, even "Talk On Corners". Go back and read the original reviews, and you'll see.
This is a great album. As soon as Atlantic USA gets its act together and puts it in American stores, the long overdue Corrs revival will be on in the states. Andrea has done the family proud, and next year there will be a new Corrs album and tour.
For now, songs like "Ten Feet High", "Shame On You", and "Anybody There" represent not only songs good enough to be on ANY Corrs album, they are the best work done by ANYONE so far this year.
Way to go, Andrea.

someone please call Jim, Carolyn, and Sharon, ...fast!.......2007-07-22

I have been a long time Corrs fan and natually had to purchase this disc. If you are someone who was a Corrs fan and am considering to experience a small piece of essence of that work from this release, you will be very disappointed. Gone are the beautiful melodies of the group, the passionate solo vocal work of Andrea. Perhaps it is the new direction/genre she has taken, electro pop/whatever, but in the Corrs work it seemed as Andrea was required to stretch her vocals, or maybe the subject matter of Ireland's struggles assisted to provide a better vocal platform. I found the vocals on this release, lazy and very flat.

Great album.......2007-07-21

I think her debut album is awesome. It's nice she broke from what was expected with a vengance. Each song is like a little story and it makes the whole album just fit together. I think it is a wonderful album and each song is great-You will want to listen to over and over again.

A nice new direction for Andrea!.......2007-07-15

Andrea Corr was the lead vocalist of the Irish family quartet, The Corrs, and "Ten feet high" is her solo debut.

Produced by Nelle Hooper (Garbage, Björk, Madonna, U2, Soul II Soul), and executive produced by Bono (both of whom are the reason I gave it a listen, and eventually got it), it comprises a few Corrs style pop/folk songs, but mainly steers Andrea in an electro pop direction, a welcome change as I feel the Corrs sound had gotten rather tired.

Opening the disc are two upbeat pop songs; the marching feel of "Have a nice day", and the piano sprinkled "Anybody there".

Lead off single "Shame on you (to keep my love from me)" is available in two versions; a more atmospheric, stripped down version, and a dance edit which closes the disc. The lyrics tell the tale of a lover missing his/her partner who has gone off to war.

Staying on the upbeat side of things are "24 hours", and the excellent throbbing club song "Take me I'm yours" with buzzing and swirling synths, it's a cover of a Squeeze song and is one of my favourites.

Standouts however are the downtempo songs; the lullaby-like "I do" (complete with tinkling bells), "Ten feet high", "Champagne from a straw" (nice choppy feel with a great sax break), the delicate acoustic/piano ballad "This is what it's all about" (another favourite of mine), "Stupidest girl in the world" (nice piano set to hip hop beats), and the wistful folk feel of "Ideal world" with lyrics looking at different life situations - family, loneliness, low self esteem.

It does take a few spins to grow on you but a nice debut from Andrea Corr.

The debut effort from stylishly scruffy trio Camila has all the elements of a Latin-pop smash: slick production, sensitive-guy lyrics and choruses designed for arena sing-alongs. It's a glossy, gorgeous package that should incite some serious girl-swooning. Such careful planning, however, leaves little room for genuine excitement. The carefully coiffed threesome veers from pseudo-falsetto stylings to earnest intensity among 12 tracks, including "Abrazame" and "Va Para Ti." It all goes down easy, but none of it makes much of an impact. Only "Sin Tu Amor" manages to generate some real sparkle. English-language track "U Got My Love" hints at a crossover possibility but plays like the B-side to a late '90s Enrique Iglesias hit. --Joey Guerra

No tiene cancion mala.. Espectacular .......2007-07-22

Cuando ordene el CD, sabia por la cancion que estan pasando en la radio "Todo Cambio" que por lo menos una cancion buena tenia, pero cuando lo escuche completo...me impresiono que es uno de los pocos CD's que no tiene cancion mala; todas las canciones son espectaculares, las letras y la variedad de ritmos, hacen que sea un MUST HAVE!! Sencillamente ESPECTACULAR!!

Best of the Best.......2007-07-12

If i were given the chance to get all of the music in this album for free or to purchase it. I would definitely not think twice about buying it also. It is worth every penny. and that's what i did.

My friend gave me mp3 file copies of all of the songs in this album. They are absolutely divine. I had to buy my own original copy.

increible, espectacular, lo maximo.......2007-05-03

Amazing CD!!!.......2006-09-12

I usually don't do this - type up reviews, but this CD is worth taking the time to rave about and going out and purchasing! It is worth every single dollar!!! You can listen to it over and over and over and not get tired of it. Beautiful lyrics, great music, an overall hit! I have officially become a CAMILA fan!!!

Great CD!!.......2006-07-28

When I first heard "abrazame" i laughed because it sounded like girls singing softly...but anyways i liked the song, and when I downloaded it, I also downloaded "Coleccionista de canciones" Wow that song really shocked me since I first heard it! Beautiful lyrics! Then, I decided to download the whole album, WOW, is the only thing I can say...beautiful songs like Sin tu amor, Me basto, Todo cambio,Me da igual, and my personal favorite, perderte de nuevo, show a group that can really sing. Lovely lyrics in those songs. In "va para ti" you hear a very rock but cool Camila. The songs that I think are no that great are No quiero, u got my love and nanga ti feo, the rest are all future radio hitss!!! I was really surprise with this group, and I am now a big Fan.

Just like I remembered.......2007-06-10

The 60's aren't so far away when you hear this CD. Brings back memories!

It's both a Time and an Interdimensional Transport Device!.......2007-05-24

I haven't bought the CD release of the original 3-disc LP. I just want to comment on some of what other reviewers have said. I agree, it's funny to look back on that time as a middle-aged person. I was 15 when Woodstock happened, and couldn't go. Although it may have been one of the first (and certainly one of the largest) examples of hippie capitalism, it didn't seem like a product to us at the time. We felt that a magical change was taking place in the world, and that we stood at an unusual crossroads in history where we could, simply by choosing to do it, change the world for the better. This was a time when music could actually change you, when audiences and performers entered into a symbiosis and used their combined energy and consciousness to explore the realms of ecstasy!...and I'm NOT exaggerating...drugs were not even necessary. When the movie and then the album came out, we kids who didn't go could share the experience in some small way, at least in our minds. In that respect, Woodstock was actually experienced by far more than the 250,000 people who were actually there, and it became an event in our national consciousness. Both the movie and the album blew my little teenage mind, and I could spend many the happy afternoon listening to the album and vicariously being there. To me the proof of the magicality of the event is that the magic comes through even though technically, both film and album are of basically terrible quality. The camera work in the movie is frustrating and grainy. Almost the entire footage of Hendrix has his mic stand obscuring him. Members of bands' rhythm sections are almost never shown. The music and the video for parts of the Who's segment are not from the same part of the song. And the sound quality throughout the LP is pretty mediocre, and some performances suffer from technical difficulties (which is understandable). But for some reason, the magic still comes through....

John Sebastian ... "far-out!"?.......2007-04-04

I keep listening to this cd version & wondering why it seems different to me than the original 3 disc vinyl from the seventies. Where is the studio version of CSN&Y's "Woodstock" that opens the film!? Was that on the vinyl? I loved the Wavy Gravy stuff about, "People we got the Times, we got the times ..." and Max Yasgur, "I'M A FARMER!" But wasn't there a long, "far-out", announcement from John Sebastian about a baby being born at the site? And him going-on, hippy-dippy, about how that baby was gonna be "far-out!" That's been cut from the DVD too. Why, I wonder ... the dialogue was such an important signature of the event. Did the producers decide, 30 years later, that some of that drug/high dialouge was really just embarrasing or what? I wonder. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Golden Oldie.......2007-02-25

It's pretty funny now to think of Woodstock as an oldie. I was about 15 when the concert happened, and found out about it too late to attend. So when the movie came out I had to see it a couple times and then pick up the three album set. For many in my generation this was our concert weather we attended it live or not. The music on this set show cased some groups like Santanna who had regional followings, but weren't known too well on the national scene. After the release of the movie and albums Santana joined the ranks of super stars.

If you haven't seen the movie, then I suggest seeing it before geting the music because there are pars of the album (CD's) that don't seem to make as much sense if you haven't seen the movie. But since the CD's are practically taken verbatim from the movie you can visit the movie in you mind any time you play the CD's.

Some time back I heard some conservative talk show host ask, "So what was the big deal about Woodstock anyway? A bunch of kids getting drunk, stoned, and listening to music together? Hell! We did that in our Frat house and never found it to be too special." What made Woodstock so enduring was that it showcased what was the essence of the Hippie movement at the time. For the most part it showed that it was possible to have a huge crowd of people get together for a few days and remain civil towards one and other...Regardless of the weather conditions. It almost made us believe that peaceful existance em mass was possible......Of course this was shown to be somewhat a fluke because both concerts and peace marches after Woodstock turned out to have some of the wors violence...Such as the Stones concert at Candle Stick Park. But the idea of Woodstock was at least hopeful for a time, and gave hose of us who were involved in the Hippie movement something to be proud of.

One last thing. I do have the DVD set too. As I said it is kind of funny to think of Woodstock as an "Oldie." When I watched the DVD and listened to some of the interviews with kids who were my age at the time I remember thinking how right on the money they were when I saw the movie as a kid....As an older adult I have to laugh at how much we thought we understood of the world and how little we actually did. That was something no one could convince us of when we were teens with all the answers.

How ironic!!!.......2006-08-18

I had a scathing review of the "Woodstock" film posted for about a month. Now, it's mysteriously gone. Whatever happened to "freedom"? Whatever happened to "free your mind, man"? In a way, the censorship of my ideas is a huge compliment. Sixties-era hypocrisy was never hard to prove, but now it's a slam dunk. Was it a movie and a concert? Yes. Was it "revolutionary" and a tool of "change"? I think not. Thirty-seven years later, Woodstock is nothing but a fine example of youth wasted on the young. There is no amount of censorship that will hide that truth!!!
