Miguel Bose - Lo Mejor de Miguel Bose

Spanish crooner Miguel Bosè mixes reflective, aloof, and moody tones in this compilation of old and new material. Bos&eagrave; seems at his best on the meditative "Este Mundo Va" and "Muro," songs that mix meandering melodies while his thickly Castilian-accented vocals inject melancholy sentiment. But he can also unload dance-flavored rock energy like the reggae-flavored "Solo Pienso en Ti" and "Los Chicos No Lloran." Other bright spots include the Elvis Costello-Talking Heads-like dance-pop confection "Bambu," while "Partisano" recalls A Flock of Seagulls without the shrill desperation. The singer-songwriter specialty is anthemic, synthesizer-driven lite rock. The best compositions work fine because they intrigue and engage; the rest amount to warmed-over melodies. Think of Depeche Mode without the thunder. --Ramiro Burr Amazon.com

Well rounded compilation of one of Spain's greatest pop artists ever

Miguel Bose has been around the block. He's put out some great music and this compilation album does a great job at summarizing the best of his works. Besides his classics, he included in here two '99 versions of his well known works "Amante Bandido" and "Nena", with new arrangements that turned them on their heads into full fledge dance songs. There is no weak spot on this album. It's a well rounded compilation from end to end, highlighting the work of one of Spain's greatest pop artists ever. January 26, 2006

Miguel... con este CD resume todo

Hace 20 anos que oigo a Miguel Bose. Algunos temas de este CD son de su viejo repertorio pero da gusto oirlos. Si nunca compraste un CD de Miguel Bose este es el CD! Tiene todo! Lamentablemente no han incluido un "sample" de "Solo Pienso en TI". Ese es su ritmo! La musica no es todo en Miguel Bose, las letras de sus canciones tienen un algo de sarcastico, un poco de humor... Y ademas su voz es TAN sensual...
Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias, Luis Miguel... todos ellos aprendieron de Miguel Bose a moverse... y todavia le imitan el estilo!! Por favor! que alguien haga justicia a este artista!! May 3, 2002

Captivating

I heard a track from this album by sheer chance and I was immediately hooked. I'd never even heard of Bose before but I ran right out and bought this album. I was not disappointed. I don't speak more than abut 10 words of Spanish but it didn't matter. The melodies and his voice are enough for you to catch on to what the song is about. His voice reminds me of a Spanish Roger Whittaker. It's smooth and rich but raw when called for. My favorite tracks are #4 Hacer por hacer and #15 Partisano. December 14, 2000
