Soda Stereo is quite posibly the best Spanish Rock band that ever existed and this is, in my opinion, their best album. All songs but one made hit singles in my home country and they stayed in lists for over two years when combined. I even remember that at one time 6 of the 10 most played songs in radio stations came from this record. To this day, 12 years later, these songs play anywhere where there's people from Latin America and you see people singing along and jumping around. It is that good. One of those records that you always remember and cherish, not only for the music, which is exquisite, but for the great memories it brings back.

Others have said it better: this record is outstanding. I am not into Latin Rock. If anything I am into Rock from the late 60s, 70s, and early 80s: The Who, Rick Wakeman, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, etc. (plus the unclassifiable Frank Zappa) What I like about Soda Stereo, and this album in particular, is that it is rich and subtle at the same time - blending traditional Rock sounds with original variations. It is unfortunate that Gustavo Cerati's creative days are most likely over: he was hit by a stroke right after a concert and has been in a come for months now.

Este es probablemente el mejor cd de Soda Stereo. Lo sigue muy de cerca el Sueño Stereo del '95 y el unplugged. No digo que sea el mejor solo por que contenga música ligera en su tracklist. De hecho el album tiene sorpresas incluso más agradables. Mucho Rock, solos de guitarra y bateria. Gran trabajo en Hombre Al Agua y Sueles Dejarme Solo. El album más rockero de Soda Stereo, sin perder la sutileza que los caracteriza.

The other reviewers have pretty much said it all: signed and delivered. This production by extinct Argentinian super-band Soda Stereo, marks the peak of their creativity. Their work can almost be defined as pre-Cancion Animal and post-Cancion Animal. With some the band's most solid works, such as "El Septimo Dia" (the Seventh Day), "Un Millon de Años Luz" (A million lightyears), the track that gave the album its title, "De Música Ligera" (Made of Light Music) and "Hombre al Agua" (Man Overboard), this production is as solid as any Rock en Español act can aspire for, but also it marks a musical landmark that should serve as a reference for Rock music at large.

By blending styles gradually from Ska, Punk Rock and a sound that resembled The Police in Spanish in their first years, the band rised up to the ocasion during the years when music in English was not well regarded in Argentina (after the war in the Falkland Islands). Later on, they took on a particular-yet-ever-evolving style that would only belong to them, as the best Rock act in Latin America, during most of the eighties and the first part of the nineties, something that not even Mana or Cafe Tacuba can come remotely close to. If you want to get into Soda deeper, get this album, get Signos, and get "El Ultimo Concierto" (A and B). You won't regret it ever.

Sin lugar a dudas, en este disco, Soda expone toda la creatividad y la pasión lograda en el punto más elevado de su carrera. Un disco en el que cada tema es un verdadero HIT. Tiene una onda totalmente coherente, de principio a fin y las melodías y los arreglos, así como también el sonido general del disco son insuperables. Realmente, lo mejor en la carrera de la banda de rock argentino de Gustavo Cerati y Zeta Bosio.
