5.0 out of 5 stars Say no more, November 19, 2003

Parece un disco medio olvidado pero es im-pre-sio-nan-te!!!
Es el cuarto disco solista de Charly García, del año 1987 (si no contamos el maxi-simple "Terapia intensiva", y es sorprendente la cantidad de ideas musicales, la instrumentación, el sonido, las melodias. Los temas inoxidables que escribe, la forma de tocar y de cantar son inimitables.
El uso de los teclados y las maquinas es inusual, usa en la mayoria de los temas el clasico Yamaha DX-7 lo que le da un sonido particular al disco, lo interesante es escuchar como usa los sonidos y como los graba.
Por ejemplo en "Parte de la Religion", "Adela en el carrousel", "El karma de vivir al sur", todos temas llenos de modernidad, inteligencia musical, bien tocados, bien grabados. Garcia consigue en este y todos sus discos un sonido muy particular dentro de Latinoamerica, muy dificil de imitar. Despues de "Parte de la religion" grabo la música para una peícula, "Lo que vendrá", tambien título del disco. Es interesante ir escuchando los discos en orden cronológico, aunque si nunca escucharon a Charly este es un excelente disco para comenzar.

5.0 out of 5 stars This album will NEVER DIE!, July 13, 2005

This was my first exposure to the music of Charly garcia. And what an album it is! This is one of those rare gems in which ALL of the songs are actually GOOD! Recorded in Brazil in 1987, cooperating with Garcia are well known Argentine and Brazilian artists Paralamas, Fabiana cantilo, and Luis Alberto SPinetta. A classic of the rock en espanol genre. Today the CD sounds a little dated, but the music will NEVER DIE! GRAB THIS ALBUM TODAY!
PS: Stay Away from anything he ever recorded between 1991 and 2003. That's when he entered his kirk cobain phase: crappy music for foolish teenyboppers.

I learned about Charly Garcia late in my High School years. Though I didn't really GET into his music until later, this was the earliest I caught a glimpse of the work of this musical genius. This album, recorded by Charly before he "lost it" (like a Syd Barrett of sorts), is packed with gems. It's one of those precious moments in Rock en Español. One very long moment that doesn' die out all through the album. From "Necesito tu Amor", into "Buscando un Simbolo de Paz" and the title track, including tracks where he accompanies himself by Brazilian rock grands, Paralamas, and almost alternating between upbeat and more quiet songs all through to the warm "La Ruta del Tentempie", the album can only grow on you. You will find yourself (Spanish-speaking or not) humming the tunes, some of rock's best tunes just about anywhere, wondering where has this awesome artist been all your life.

Now, if you know Charly, you know what I am talking about. Recorded in 1987, "Parte de la Religion" is probably the last brilliant album Charly recorded before entering a long obscure period, during which he stopped making much sense, he lost quite a bit of his voice and his sanity due to drugs and alcohol abuse. Still, "Parte..." will remain an essential part of Rock's best works forever.
