Era
 $7.65  
SUENOS LIQUIDOS won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Latin/Rock Alternative Performance.
As trippy and loose-limbed as the album art may be (echoes of Santana's ABRAXAS), SUENOS LIQUIDOS finds these rockeros Mexicanos creating an ever-more refined sound. It's a free-and-easy rock & roll that's been baked in the Yucatan sun, with all the fun of Bryan Adams, the drive of the Police and an unflinching love of the ballad. With a nylon-string guitar fill here or a harmonized vocal fadeout there, frontman Fher and drummer Alex Gonzalez display an impeccable production sense, enhancing the mood while keeping the mix clear and each instrument distinct.
Fher's gone and caught gypsy fever, with his dreamy, dust-throated crooning about a mermaid enchantress on "Hechicera." Lead guitarist Sergio Vallin provides fine shredding over the song's reggae-rock beat, a familiar Mana sound. "Un Lobo" and "Clavado" are pure chunky-riff fun, songs about the highs and lows of being lost in love. And who could resist all those sweet chorus harmonies? These chicos may be getting a little older, but their music is still full of life, y en Espanol como siempre.
Mana: Fher (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Sergio Vallin (acoustic & electric guitars); Juan Calleros (acoustic & electric basses); Alex Gonzalez (drums, percussion, programming, vocals).
Additional personnel: Bob Tansen (flute); Rick Bartist (trumpet); Juan Carlos Toribio (keyboards, programming); Randy Walman (keyboards, samples); Luis Conte (percussion); Pablo Aguirre (programming); Jose Quintana (background vocals).
| | Mana MTV Unplugged CD (1999)
Era
$7.35  
MTV UNPLUGGED was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance.
From the triumphant opening of the first tune and ensuing applause, it's clear that this is one of the finer UNPLUGGED sets to be found. Mexico's own Mana bring their stirring brand of pop-rock to MTV's stage with grace and a healthy dose of fun. A lush string section amplifies the drama of it all, rendering classics like "Vivir Sin Aire" and "No Ha Parado" grand and spirited.
Frontman Fher's Sting-esque voice shimmers as he leads the band through their celebrated songs of love, hope and justice, with group harmonies that merit comparison to the seamlessness of Crosby, Stills & Nash. Among the more solemn moments is a cover of Ruben Blades' "Desapariciones," referring to the "disappeared" victims of Latin America's various authoritarian regimes. Fher's and Vallins' guitar playing is fluid and colorful throughout.
| | Mana Cuando Los Angeles Lloran CD (1995)
Era
$7.75
CUANDO LOS ANGELES LLORAN was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance.
Although stylistically similar to DONDE JUGARAN LOS NINOS, CUANDO LOS ANGELES LLORAN ("When the Angels Cry") is a relatively harder-rocking, stripped-down record for Mexican pop-rock outfit Mana. The sweet, atmospheric synth sounds of past records are pushed more to the background and Sergio Vallin joins the band as first-chair guitarist, with a piercing, heavy metal sound that shifts seamlessly between crunching chords and soaring, Van Halen-esque leads. Mana's members seem to gel more than ever as a distinct band here, and the result is some of the tightest songwriting and production in their discography.
"Como Un Perro Enloquecido" ("Like a Mad Dog") is pure fun, alternating between Police-style ragga rhythms and double-time, up-tempo rock & roll. Peppered with staccato horn breaks, "Dejame Entrar" is a funky number, with vocalist Fher insisting on access to his lover's soul. The title track is Mana's touching tribute to murdered Brazilian environmental and indigenous land rights activist Chico Mendes. It opens with the distant toll of church bells and a poignant acoustic guitar vignette by Vallin, giving way to slow-grooving, stirring verses about Mendes' life and a chorus striped with characteristically seamless vocal harmonies.
Recorded at Puerta Azul-Mobile Studio, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Record Plant Studios, Hollywood, California; Funny Farm Studios, Studio City, California in February and March 1995.
Mana: Fher (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, harmonica); Alex Gonzalez (vocals, drums, electric percussion); Sergio Vallin (electric & acoustic guitars, sitar coral, requinto); Juan Calleros (bass).
Additional personnel: David Shamban (cello); David Hidalgo (accordion); Ramon Flores, Eric Jorgensen, Jene Burkert, Charles David (brass); Juan Carlos Toribio (keyboards, piano, Hammond B-3 organ); Luis Conte (percussion).

| | DJ Spooky Drums Of Death CD (2005)
Era
$13.85
At first glance, the teaming of DJ Spooky with Dave Lombardo (drummer for Slayer and Fantomas) may seem an unlikely pairing. But from the opening remake of the Public Enemy tune "Brother's Gonna Work It Out"--a track featuring Lombardo's fierce beat-keeping, crunching bass and electric guitars from Jack Dangers, Spooky's tweaky atmospherics, and Chuck D himself on vocals--the project makes perfect sense. DRUMS OF DEATH emerges at the intersection of the most progressive and aggressive music of the 1980s, '90s, and 2000s; it suggests that the line between hip-hop, hardcore metal, and the outer reaches of electronica has always been thin and somewhat arbitrary.
Chuck D raps on two other tracks ("B-Side Wins Again" and "Public Enemy #1"), and MC Dalek guests on "Assisted Suicide." However, most of the album is instrumental, focusing on Lombardo's thunderous pyrotechnics, Spooky's evocative textures and samples, and the contributions of additional musicians, most notably guitarist Vernon Reid. The record shifts from metal ("Kultur Krieg") to futuristic jazz ("The Art of War [Back to the Lab]") to the avant-garde (the collage experiment "Incipit Zarathustra") in a joyous disregard for conventional categories. The results remind us that those categories aren't very necessary in the first place.
Personnel: DJ Spooky (synthesizer, turntables); Dave Lombardo (drums); Dalek, Meredith Monk (vocals); Chuck D (rap vocals); Vernon Reid, Gerry Nestler (guitar); Jack Dangers (bass guitar).
Recording information: 2005.
