Great Remix album from Latina artist Thalia

An Excellent Remix CD, Though It Could Have Been Done Better

"Now I'm a huge Thalia fan, but when I read on her website that her fans would dance like they never danced before to a surprise coming in February, I was expecting a remix album-but with new remixes. I love this CD, I do, but I have had quite a few of the tracks on here already because I collect Thalia singles. I already owned No Me Ensenaste (Estefano Remix), Mujer Latina (Remix Espana, also known as the Zero Remix), Tu y Yo (Ballad Version), and Por Amor (Primera Vez Remix). So this was just thrown together, really. Also a downside is that they could have added remixes of Regresa a Mi, Reencarnacion, and De Donde Soy which were hits, perhaps the spanglish remix of Echa Pa Lante, and the Tapati club mix of Amandote, the latter of which I have yet to hear and was hoping to find here. I would also like to know why the closing track is called % El Mar...why the %? I would like to know. They also really really messed Tu y Yo up, though. They should have added the excellent Masters at Bed Remix instead of the ballad version. Why a ballad version? It's a remix CD. Still, this is an essential Thalia CD for fans like myself. We must have everything. By the way the CD cover here is wrong, the actual cover is slightly better looking. It shows her in the A Quien La Importa? video. If you are reading this two years after I wrote this than Amazon has almost definitely corrected this error, but, interestingly, the picture they have here is the same picture on the cover of the A Quien La Importa? promo CD single which was released to DJs and radio personnel solely.The remixes here really are worth this CD's purchase though, notably for the Por Amor (Primera Vez Remix), if you don't already have it, which I tell you is the absolute best remix ever created even though the remix would have worked better with a more vocally and lyrically dramatic song than one with a happy beat. The A Quien La Importa? (Hex Hector/Mac Quayle Club Remix) is splendid. Far better than the LP version. And the remixes of Piel Morena, Amor a La Mexicana and The Mexican are all excellent, especially the latter two. The version of The Mexican here is the Spanish one. If you purchase the 5-track import CD single of it you'll get 5 great remixes of the english track, including the exact same remix (also by Hex Hector and Mac Quayle) in English. The enhanced video is also excellent.Stay tuned for Thalia's crossover album due in June 2003, which will be called FULL IMPACT. The leadoff single, I Want You, a duet with Fat Joe, will hit radio soon and you can listen to a thirty-second sample of it at Thalia's official website, thalia.com."

HIGH ENERGY POP MUSIC

"I really was not interested in this cd when i saw it. Most remixed albums have house versions thatI am not interested in. This album was on the listening station so I tried it out. I picked up this cd so fast and ran to the cash register. This cd is off the hook with high energy dance songs. I have not stopped listening to it. The best songs onthe cd are as follows: A Quien Le Importa does not tire you out. you just want to listen to it over and over again. This cd also comes with the video for this song. It's My Party is the English version of Arrasando and the only english trackon the cd. The Mexican is the fast remixedradioedit that you hear on the radio in spanish. No Me Ensenaste isgoing to be a classic. Definately my favorite song full of energy within the first ten seconds it will grab you. Entre El Mar Y Una Estrella is ten pumping minutes long, like one of those songs you hear in a club. Por amor is a great remix of one of her classics. And there is also a ballad version of Tu Y Yo. Also there are remixes of Amor A La Mejicana and Piel Morena which are not that fast but good. Finally, there isthe fast version of Mujer Latina and a medley at the end. I HIGHLY recommend this cd is you like her or any other dance artists. Weather you speak spanish or not. Remember to vote for me. Feel free to email me with any questions.
P.S. I do not know why but this is not the cover of the cd that I have but it is the same cd."
