5.0 out of 5 stars New takes, new moves, October 28, 2001

This is not just more of the same. Juan Gabriel has recut some of his best stuff from recent and not so recent years, left the production and most of the arrangement to people other than himself and Eduardo Magallanes, and come up with a new CD that will in one way or another move you. It's his most upbeat album in several years. "Siempre en mi mente" Gabriel's most beautiful release from the late '70s, has gone gospel! "Debo Hacerlo," the song that helped to put the wild in Gabriel and the audience during the "Juan Gabriel en el Palacio de Bellas Artes" video, has finally been brought into the spotlight where it belongs. Even old faithful "Querida" has a rock beat to it. "Catalina," the most intriguing number from the more recent "Abrazame muy fuerte" album, has been left relatively intact, the way it should be. An interesting version of "El Noa Noa" makes that old song new again. Juan Gabriel--thirty years in the music business and still coming up with fresh, great stuff. Mexico clearly has its answer to the United States' Ray Charles.

5.0 out of 5 stars great greatest hits cd, October 23, 2002

I noticed a certain kind of trend. It seemed that Juan gabriel now and then put out greatest hits cd's in between new material. This time is a greatest hits but with new arrangements and also re-recorded. Every new arrangement its totally opposite from its original but it is great!. For example the ranchera classic "Se Me Olvido Otra Vez" is now a bolero-mambo. Also another great ranchera ballad "La Diferencia" is now a strong melancholic tango ballad. Samba rythms are incorporated into the "Pero que necesidad,,para que vivir con penas" song. Siempre en mi Mente is transformed into a disco song. This whole cd is great.

this cd is not all it could be. The earlier work of Juan Gabriel stands out more unlike this one! This one lacks the beautiful emotional vocals once heard in his early 80's music. This is basically a remake of those hits, and revamped. Where did that go? that makes the price of this cd so much less.
