CD Reviews

Almost the best
Luis Valdivia | Lima, Perú | 07/24/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a really good production but it isn't a fully compilation of what Duncan Dhu means to the spanish presence within the world music stage. Songs like "En algun lugar" are truly poems turn into songs with a deepest and maybe darkness contains, "Jardin de Rosas" and "A tientas" shows the potentially of this exceptional group. The powerful voice of Mikel Erentxum denotes all his passion and of course denotes his admiration for Morrisey (and of course for the Smiths)too.I really recommend, if you like this CD that you buy some of the other ones (like "Autobiografia") cause Collection 85-98 it's maybe a part of the best of Duncan Dhu, but not everything."
A must have!

"For an extra 10$ you get 30 more songs, it is so worth it! The live version of "en algun lugar..." on this cd is even better than the studio version! Duncan Dhu were(are) an amazing acoustic rock band from Spain, the lyrics are very poetic, many of the songs are simple, yet deep. If you are interested in spanish pop/rock...give this one a try! DO NOT BUY THE USA VERSION OF THIS RECORDING AS IT ONLY CONTAINS 10 SONGS!You have to check out the tune "rosa gris" one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard period. Also " a tientas" , "la casa azul", "mundo de cristal" , "la barra de este hotel" all are among the bands best, not to mention "fin de amor" which is a great blues tune, with really cool lyrics. The unreleased songs are all quality as well. This is a must have for all music fans!"
