 (1 Customer Review)
AQUI is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
Why, why does the lovely Julieta look so forlorn? Like a Mexican Fiona Apple, she's in fact one of the hippest rockeras around--she writes practically all of her own material, sings, and plays a mean accordion, too. AQUI also happens to be produced by one of the biggest figures in '90s rock en Espanol, Gustavo Santaolalla.
"Oportunidad" is a superb piece of anguish, with Julieta's insistent, alluring warble swathed in a throbbing curl of clarinet, vibraphone, accordion, and stripped-down drum programming. "Antes" furthers the whole "once-I-had, now-I'm-craving" tragedy with an undercurrent of thrumming cello, pizzicato violins, and a bass-accordion melody that evokes images of high-sailing ships. Cafe Tacuba's Joselo Rangel adds some guitar to "Como Se," a sweet, Brazilian-tinged musing on truth and knowing. Look, listen, then fall in love with her--it's as easy as 1-2-3!

Aqui
 $7.59  
BEUNINVENTO was nominated for the 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Best Rock Solo Vocal Album. "Hoy No Quiero" was nominated for the 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.
Julieta Venegas made a remarkable debut in 1998 with Aquí, an album of enormous breadth and boldness. Her follow-up, Bueninvento, is no less bold, though it is more stylistically consistent from beginning to end. The piano songs that characterized the second half of Aquí are nowhere to be found on Bueninvento, as Venegas instead delves headlong into the style of driving rock en español exemplified by "De Mis Pasos," one of the two singles from Aquí. Like "De Mis Pasos," the songs of Bueninvento are driven by drums (often programmed), accordion ...

$21.79
THE BEST REMIXES, the six track EP from Wham!, first appeared in 1989.
In the aftermath of the magnificent success of 1987's Faith LP, but with a new George Michael solo project nowhere in sight, it was up to Wham! to fill any gaps in the early '90s, a void that was well-filled by two remix albums, both largely populated by the same material, but each packing enough difference to ensure Wham!-ers would be salivating for both of them. Best Remixes, originally released in 1990 (Epic would issue the disc stateside in 1998), was the first off the blocks. Just six tracks long, it stuck to the classic club cuts, and thankfully ignored most of the duo's lite horrors, favoring instead the more esoteric ...
| | Michelle Shocked Arkansas Traveller CD (1991)
Aqui
$12.15 
All songs written by Michelle Shocked Except "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" (Gilbert/Wrubel) and "Woody's Rag" (Woody Guthrie).
Michelle Shocked is nothing if not a roots-conscious artist. She initially made her name as a hard-traveling neo-folk troubadour a la Woody Guthrie, early Bob Dylan, et al. After her mainstream breakthrough with the relatively pop-oriented CAPTAIN SWING, she used her newfound celebrity to further explore her roots on the follow-up, ARKANSAS TRAVELER. The 1992 album is essentially an Americana sampler, wherein Shocked teams up with different rootsy artists on each cut. Bluegrass is a heavy influence, and she's joined variously by Doc Watson, Alison Krauss, and other bluegrass greats. On other cuts, she partners with everyone from the Band to Taj Mahal.
While many artists would have made a trad-folk covers album out of such an endeavor, Shocked was talented enough to come up with a brace of original songs that captured the flavor of her influences, while remaining original and distinctive. The 2004 ...
