A lost treasure of the 80's!

"Well, not really "lost", inasmuch as Los Prisioneros were the hugest rock band in Chile throughout the 80's. But if you're a humble gringo like me, they will come as a major revelation. The first time I heard this album, it was eerie-- I didn't know any of the songs, and yet they were so catchy and vibrant that I felt as though I was listening to classics that I knew by heart. Los Prisioneros started out their career as a ska/rock band, mirroring the sounds of 1979, but as the 80's progressed they moved towards an electro-pop sound. Throughout, their songwriting stayed potent, with lyrics ranging from clever criticism of sexual advertisements to tongue-in-cheek declarations of rock intent. ("Elvis, sacudete en tu cripta.") Best described as a glorious mixture of The Police, The Clash and Erasure, this is a greatest hits collection I cannot recommend highly enough. ¡Ya viene la fuerza, la voz de los ochenta!"

Lo mejor de chile!

"Los prisioneros forman parte de los cantantes mejores escuchados en latinoamerica, es una clase de musica de protesta pero yo creo que cada uno tiene su estilo y este fue lo que le encanto a la gente para llegar a la popularidad,son de lo mejor y creo que cada chileno estria orgulloso de mencionarlos donde quiera que vayan,lamentablemente pedi a amazon.com enviarme su CD,esta pagado desde hace un mes y no tengo resultado alguno,eso hace que una empresa famosa no sea digna de usar su nombre para ofrecer cosas que no puedan acceder."
