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 ... Full DescriptionApple, 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!
Personnel: Julieta Venegas (vocals, piano, accordion, vibraphone, keyboards, programming); Gustavo Santaolalla (guitar, percussion, background vocals); Joselo Rangel (guitar); Pavel Farkas, Gail Cruz-Farkas (violin); Ron Strauss (viola); John Acosta (cello); Don Markese (clarinet, claron); Enrique Rangel, Graham Edwards (bass); Curt Bisquera, Patricio Iglesias (drums); Rafael Gonzalez (percussion).
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Aqui CD music
$9.55 
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout ...

Aqui music CDs
$11.89  
A sprawling two-disc set, the Drive-By Truckers' SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a cracked masterpiece that's enjoyable on several different levels. Hipsters might enjoy the giggly premise of a two-disc set devoted to a slightly altered retelling of the rise and fall of 1970s Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd. Progressive rock fans lamenting the modern era's relative lack of story-driven albums divided into "Act I" and "Act II" will latch onto SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA with the same passion with which they embraced THE LAMB ...
| | Julieta Venegas Si CD (2003)
Aqui songs
$10.69
Whereas Mexican alt-rocker Julieta Venegas's previous outings could be characterized as moody and intense, SI is a collection of unabashedly bright pop songs about the wonders of love. (The cover art, which shows Venegas posing coyly in a wedding dress against a pink background, is a fair indication of the pop confections within). But the album has much more substance than a piece of wedding cake. Irresistible pop craft and melodic hooks are couched in inventive, smartly constructed instrumental arrangements, ...
