Rodrigo y Gabriela (with Bonus DVD)(more) »rank: 632by: Rodrigo y Gabriela
Our review:Album Description:The sleeve photo of a crocodile's eye with a faint image of Rodrigo and Gabriela superimposed, suits the artists' desire for something which didn't shout 'Mexican guitarists' or 'Couples.' 'It reminded us of Tamacun, the famous Mexican eccentric who is in Ixtapa where we lived for a while'. Tamacun -'Tamacun's message is to teach kids to respect nature.' He handles crocodiles, and tourists come to photograph him. Diablo Rojo - Inspired by a wild rollercoaster called 'Red Devil' at a theme park in Copenhagen, Denmark. Three rides in a row, each. Viking Man - Another Danish inspired piece. The Viking Man was ... Detail |

Navidades(more) »rank: 3282by: Luis Miguel
Our review:Album Description:With this album, Luis Miguel is utilizing the same technique to bring all his fans a holiday album filled with Christmas Oldies : Luis Miguel's strong, often serious voice isn't the first you'd think of to breathe life into a succession of giddy Christmas carols and holiday favorites.
