Basilica San Peitro Polifonic Choir (background vocals); Luca Leonori, Simone Rocchini (programming).
The charismatic opera singer relies on a sweeping collection of amazingly passionate tunes to bring out his emotional depth, which is convincing and exciting even if you must know Italian to understand (thankfully the liner notes feature translations!). Unlike a lot of genre performers who seem removed from the general audience, Safina tries to find a happy medium between that and pop. The opening track "Only You (Luna)" features a cool, methodical drum groove and sweeping orchestral atmospheres, plus a haunting female vocal echoing in English in certain spots. As the tune builds in intensity, the groove kicks up, creating a little R&B flavor. "Insieme A Te (Together With You)" is a gentle ballad featuring a slower groove but still a bit of a pop sheen. Most of the tunes follow this pattern, his powerful voice caressed by the dramatic David Foster-like production of Romano Musammara. All good since it makes him more palatable to pop fans who would probably just assume he's singing about love. The disc also features two bonus instrumental tracks, "Ehyeh" (which blends atmosphere with a loping flamenco guitar riff) and "Diva Mea," whose new agey piano musings are accompanied by the occasional vocal touches of the same voice which haunts the opening track. ~ Jonathan Widran

Better Than Bocelli!!!!! This is a most luscious collection of songs, mostly in Italian, by an up-and-coming artist whose voice just makes you melt! The quality of his voice alone, combined with a symphonic orchestra supporting it, transports you to Nirvana. Submitted by Pat (Warwick, RI) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 2 found this helpful.

Alessandro Safina music CDs
$7.79 For over three generations, El Chavo del 8 has charmed Spanish-speaking audiences the world over with its wildly zany appeal. A Mexican television landmark still on syndication to this very day, the series is a winning formula of slapstick comedy and social commentary that is reminiscent of The Little Rascals. El Chavo is an eight-year-old (played by a full-grown adult male) who practically lives inside a barrel in the courtyard of a community filled with loony but memorable characters. This first volume of THE BEST OF EL CHAVO DEL 8 compiles some of the series' best loved moments ...
| | Dream Theater When Dream & Day Unite CD (1989) Germany; Originally Released in 1989
Alessandro Safina songs
$13.95 WHEN DREAM & DAY UNITE, the major label debut from prog-metal act Dream Theater, includes the tracks "YTSE Jam" and "Only A Matter Of Time."
Dream Theater's first official release gave an indication that this was a talented band that combined the styles of Yes, Rush, and Queensr˙che. The latter seemed to be too big of an influence at this stage of their career. Vocalist Charlie Dominici's voice is not powerful enough to carry out the band's otherwise convincing intensity, and his attempt to sound like Queensr˙che's Geoff Tate was unsuccessful. The music here is not as heavy as it would become in the '90s but could still be classified as progressive metal. Guitarist John Petrucci and drummer Mike Portnoy established themselves as competent musicians, but their individual styles were not yet refined. The band's originality does shine through on "Light Fuse and Get Away," "The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun," and "Only a Matter of Time." The odd-meter measures and numerous time changes gave the group a complexity that hadn't been experienced for an entire decade in the rock genre. "YTSE Jam" was essentially their answer to Rush's "YYZ" and ...
