This two CD collection is indispensable for the TRUE Mecano fans...It has all of the songs I remember hearing in my adolescent years; obviously some songs had to be left out, but the ones that are included are simply magnificent; Hijo de la Luna, Cruz de navajas,el 7 de Septiembre, No es serio este cementerio, but most of all, Naturaleza Muerta are to be enjoyed with all the senses; on that last song, one could almost taste the ocean's water...as is the case with Hawaii Bombay. This collection will certainly bring memories of when and where you were, exactly at the moment you heard each of these songs for the first time, it's that GOOD!!!

A very good compilation of their best known songs, by the best spanish group ever. None of the three members of this group has achieved such magic connection to the audience, in their solo careers, although I must say they've produced good material, but the mystic is gone. Maybe they didn't include all of their excellent songs in this album, which are many, many, but at least the most popular and representative were. If you are not familiar with Mecano you must buy this cd first of all. You'll be able to listen to such gems as "Mujer contra Mujer" (Woman against Woman), "Naturaleza Muerta" (Still Life), "Aire" (Air), "Hijo de la Luna" (Son of the Moon), etc., all the aforementioned by the great songwriter and member of the group, José María Cano, sung with unique feeling by petite Ana Torroja. Then, for sure you'll want more and more, and won't stop until buying all the rest of their records, especially "Descanso Dominical", in my opinion, their definitive masterpiece.

Escuchar a Mecano, ya sea por sus arreglos exquisitos, o sus letras introspectivas y llenas de humanidad, es siempre un delite. Jose Maria y Nacho han compuesto nuevos temas que hablan de la post-modernidad de España y de Latinoamerica, y ellas en las voz de Ana las hacen divinas. No me canso de escuchar las nuevas canciones y tambien de encontrar nuevos matices en sus producciones anteriores. Cabe mencionar que Stereosexual y Cuerpo y Corazon son dos canciones, destinadas a ser clasicas, que hablan de temas importantisimos sin trivializarlos. Este es un disco para despedir el milenio y recibir el proximo. Espero que Ana, Jose y Nacho nos traigan mucho mas en el futuro, si bien en solitario, o tal vez con la magia de un grupo.

To listen to Mecano, either for their exquisite arrangements or their introspective and humane lyrics, is always a delight. José Maria and Nacho have created new songs that talk about the Post-modernity in Spain and Latinamerica, and whic Ana's voice renders them divine. I cannot tire from hearing the new songs and to find new hidden colors in their old songs. Note that 'Stereosexual' and 'Corazon a corazon' are destined to become classics that touch upon serious themes without being trivial. This is a record to say Goodbye to the old millenium, and welcome the new one. I am hoping that Ana, Jose and Nacho will give usmore in the future, either solo or with the magic of the group.

Undisputibly the greatest Spanish group oif the time, Mecano rocks with all their greatest hits and new songs. Now on there own they have much success but this is a two cd set you will not forget. It is a cd to remember old times and enjoy new ones. I love it.
