it took me a long time to find this cd. it is hard to find because its an old one. I had the cassette and learned most of the songs from it. I love all the songs on this cd. I think is one of the best from Bose. I definetely recommend having it to all the Bose fans. it is a combination of ethereal music and psicological lyrics. Beautiful.
August 9, 2007I also bought this album ages ago, but it's still wonderful. The lyrics are intense and profound and the music is great, perfect for each song. Listen to a few samples to see if it's your taste. This album is in my opinion, one of the best of Miguel Bose. Quality Spanish music rarely gets better than this, trust me ;)
I highly recommed the Direct '90 as well, it's old school Miguel Bose... and it rocks!
March 3, 2005This is one of my top 5 cds of all time...I still listen to it as much now as I did when I bought it 10 years ago. This is just a great cd...Te Comeria el corazon, lo que ves es lo que hay, Imaginate que te quiero...Songs 1-9 in a row are probably one fo the top 5 Spanish albums of all time. If you are getting 1 Miguel Bose cd, get this one.

Es indiscutible que este albúm nos muestra una nueva etapa del artista. "Bajo el signo de Caín" nos lleva a los tiempos inmemoriables de nuestra historia humana. Con un título como este, no se puede dejar de hablar del tema existencialista de las canciones. Aún más, precisamente Bosé trata de abarcar, a manera de canciones, que es lo que pasa con nuestro interior. ¿Buscamos una isla llamada libertad? ¿Queremos establecer contacto con un dios que parece que nos ha olvidado en esta mundana existencia? ¿O nos preguntamos que es lo que pasa si un amor perdido no vuelve más? Las respuestas en tres temas de este albúm, pero la verdad es que él artista abarca más allá de estas interrogantes. Inclusive trata de confrontar a los periodistas amarillistas, con "Gota a Gota" y a los vende patrias con "Sol Forastero." Ah, y que no se nos olvide su gran apego por los besos sabrosos de los que nacimos en el otro lado del mundo y también somos de habla hispana... ¡Recuerden que el nació en este lado del Atlántico!
March 16, 2001Though this CD could be called "adult pop", that would be terribly misleading. Miguel Bose's music is full of emotional and sensual energy, but it's conceptually rich as well. The search for faith in God, the longing for freedom, the pain of lost love, the environmental crisis--these are some themes addressed in the music here.
Miguel Bose's album may be sonically compatible, on a superficial level, with the taste of your light-hits-radio-listening thirtysomething, but his highly literate attention to such diverse themes distinguishes him. Though he has the charisma and style to be very popular, his music on this album is brilliant and uncompromising. And for me, that is a good thing.
Miguel Bose blends Hispanic and Anglo influences (his drummer once worked for Tears for Fears) into a powerful, conceptually rich album which deserves an international audience. Too bad most Americans have never heard of him. August 25, 2000
