This disc has all of the essential Manu Chao classics. After seeing 13 Dias, I had to have a good Manu Chao cd. There is so much to love about Manu Chao, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. This is the best album I have heard in a long time
When I listen to Tristeza Maleza in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Politik Kills pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Rainin In Paradize is one of these floating songs. Besoin de la Lune without a doubt is the standout song of La Radiolina. El Kitapena is a great opener for La Radiolina. Me Llaman Calle is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. It’s such an underrated song. Music in The Bleedin Clown is excellent as in all tracks of La Radiolina. I have all of Manu Chao’s tracks and Mundoreves is probably the most his introspective effort. El Hoyo is a bit different from Manu Chao stereotypical stuff. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. In Mala Fama the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. There is excellent mix of music in Panik Panik. Although Otro Mundo is very melodic it is far from sad. Piccola Radiolina rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. Album opener Y Ahora Que ? is a bright, upbeat ditty. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Siberia is absolutely incredible. Sone Otro Mundo is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Amalucada Vida is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade.
