ESPANOL MUSIC REVIEWS

Gustavo Cerati

This is not a greatest hits collection, but a “mix tape” of Cerati’s work.

2- The DVD and the CD are NOT two different, separate things. You can think of both as being complimentary of each other. Songs you won’t find in one cd, you’ll listen/see in the other.

Cerati clearly strives for a cohesiveness that is hard to find in an anthology: he either includes songs that are nice but not his best to make the album flow (Casa and Amo Dejarte Asi come to mind), or he chooses different versions of the originals (Fantasma and Tu Cicatriz en Mi, the latter an amazing rock remix).

The DVD is in chronological order, except for the last two songs, which are live versions of Soda Stereo’s songs (including one of his best creations, Cancion Animal).

Tu Locura, the only new song, is presented in a slightly different way from the original version (which was spread solely over the net and heard on an argentinean series) so that it was more electronic and less singer/guitar.

This is another triumph for Gustavo, simply because the album manages to create a personality of its own. It is an obvious good intro for new fans (not casual listeners, fans), but most of all it is a great mix for people who know Cerati’s work and want to recreate his whole history in a couple of hours.
