"This CD is very inspirering for the young mind. Even though I can't understand Potugese. Some of these pieces have good music and beet rythem and all that other fancy stuff we talk about in music classes. Some other songs are a little bit scrathcy in whitch they are either slow or have no feeling in my case."

""Entre la Linea del Bien y la Linea del Mal" is a great showcase for the talents of the Latin duo Donato y Estefano. The album is a solid piece of Latin pop that mixes fast-tempo songs with more introspective selections. All the lyrics are in Spanish."Entre la Linea..." has a definite mystical/spiritual flavor that is mixed with an ironic postmodern sensibility. If you've become used to some of the typical themes in contemporary Latin music lyrics, prepare yourself for a real head trip with this album. Donato and Estefano spice up the songs with references to the Tarot, Pandora's box, Egyptian hieroglyphics, the information age, Machu Picchu, and the Internet. There's even a Spanish version of the song "A Whiter Shade of Pale."The song styles range from the kinetic, tribal funkiness of the title song to the lyrical beauty of "Mi Dios y Mi Cruz." "Martes Trece" has a bouncy feel that is reminiscent of the popular "boy band" sound. And throughout, the vocal performances of Donato and Estefano are superb. They are capable of both gentle sweetness and aggressive energy. This disc is a must have for any serious fan of contemporary Latin music."
