"The first time I heard Ana Torroja's voice was when she was still a member of the Spanish pop group, Mecano. I fell in love with the sound and ended up buying the CD . However, when I was looking for other CD's, I found out that the group had split up. On a trip to Spain I heard the music of Ana alone and was impressed. As a solo singer, she has maintained her trademark crystal-clear voice, insightful lyrics, and pleasant melodies. I especially liked and "

"Ana siempre ha tenido una voz excepcional, y ahora en solitario nos demuestra su natural soltura en el microfono y como compositora de canciones. Para mi que creci con su voz y las canciones de Mecano, me sigue impresionando oirla cantantando melodias sensuales y llenas de pasion. "Puntos Cardinales" la cancion que le da nombre a este album, es genial. Una de esas canciones que podemos cantarle al oido a nuestra pareja. Este CD es genial para una tarde de lluvia pasandosela en casa sumido en la melancolia de un amor que se fue, al escuchar "Te he querido tanto," o en los brazos de una amor actual. Gracias, Ana por mantenernos enganchados a tu vuz. Gracias Rafa, por darme este CD como regalo..."
Pleasingly Melodic, her best work yet!

"I have follow Ana throught her beginnings as a member of the Spanish pop band Mecano and became very intrigue by her angel like voice and absolutely progressive themes in her earlier years with the band. I very much anticipated a new release from Mecano but when I heard the band had split up assumed that her career was over. I was very delighted to hear she had went on as a solo and knew that her new CD would probably become a new classic in my CD collection. I found every song in this release as pleasing as all her former recordings."
On her own.

"though ana torroja's name is well-known throughout the spanish-speaking world, she may be a new face to many north americans. as part of the spain's supergroup, mecano, torroja has--along with bandmates josé and nacho--been producing some of spain's most popular music for over a decade. on her first solo album, torroja maintains the mecano tradition of songs that administer equally to the mind and soul. with a voice that is more like a cool breeze than a roaring fire (compared with the flamenco vocalists for which her country is renowned), torroja's vocals harken more to ana belen than to chavela vargas. the result is a refreshing interpretation of the spanish experience. fans of bette midler will be pleased by the inclusion of a spanish version of "bottomless" from the album _bette of roses_."
