So much more than mindless muzak !!! Bravo, Vicki Carr !!!!.......2007-05-16

Vicki Carr displays her incredible talent to interpret classic love ballads in Spanish on this "two-fer" CD. This "two-fer" CD contains all the tracks from two of Vicki's record albums entitled En Español Los Exitos De Hoy Y De Siempre (The Hits Of Today And Always)/Hoy; and there's hardly a dud in this lot. Oh, sure, not everyone will understand the Spanish lyrics, but when Vicki sings you can instinctively understand the universal human emotions of which she sings. As a Spanish student, I understood the gist of what she sang; and I was overwhelmed by her panache and flawless delivery of these fine numbers.

The CD opens with the track set from Vicki Carr's LP entitled En Español Los Exitos De Hoy Y De Siempre (The Hits Of Today And Always). The title track has a rich musical arrangement that complements Vicki's vocals perfectly as she sings of how she will return to her lover someday. The second song, entitled "Somos Novios (It's Impossible)," displays Vicki at her finest; she performs this masterpiece without a superfluous note. Excellent!

Other gems from the first LP track set include "Historía De Amor (Love Story)" with its haunting refrains; Vicki uses her excellent diction and timing to infuse "Historía de Amor (Love Story)" with a degree of sensitivity and quality control that I rarely hear. "Ahora Que Soy Libre" gives Vicki the chance to sing about being single again after a love has gone awry; her voice is rich, warm and vibrant and the musical arrangement makes good use of the strings and percussion. "Pero Te Extaño" offers an exotic musical flourish at the beginning; Vicki sings about how she misses her man.

The second LP track set then begins with "Hoy;" this song has a rich musical arrangement. However, the second song, "Sin Saber Por Que (The Way We Were)" really knocks you out with its beauty as Vicki delivers it magnificently. "Hasta Que Vuelvas" has a lovely Latin beat with an early 1960s flavor to it; and Vicki delivers this beautifully as she sings of how she is spending time apart from her man.

"Te Amo" starts with a strong musical flourish, too; and Vicki sings this with all her heart of how she loves her man. Excellent!

The liner notes contain a great essay about Vicki Carr by Vito P. Cifaldi, III; and you get the song credits and recording dates, too.

I highly recommend this CD for Vicki Carr fans; and persons who enjoy Latin easy listening music will flip over this CD! We are much better off for Vicki Carr's sharing her great talent with us; you don't need to understand all the words to appreciate the singular beauty of Vicki Carr's talent!

Bravo, Vicki!!!

Best Spanish Album of Vikki.......2007-02-20

I like Vikki's songs very much and have almost CDs of her. Especially I love Spanish songs. Above all, this CD is splendid!

Fantastico!.......2007-01-17

This cd was a Christmas gift for my Dad that is 81 yrs young. He LOVES Vikki Carr and said this one is excellent.

American music with spanish lyrics.......2007-01-16

I don't like this album. Good music has an strong effect on the listener, but this album is not good, and the music does not "send" the listener anywhere. I own, and am a fan of, music by Lucha Villa, Vincente Fernandez, Luis Miguel, Roberto Carlos, Jose Jose, Nelson Ned, Los Iracundos, Los Bukis, and Eydie Gorme. So for an american, I think I am familiar with, know and appreciate spanish and mexican music as well as most. And I'm telling you, this album is not "it". The long and short of it, is that the music does not "send" you. That may be a subjective judgment, that is, unique to the listener. But I think that my feelings areshared by lots of listeners, who for some reason are not represented in this reviews section. If I were to analyze the music, I would say that it sounds to me americanized, in an overdone Doris Day sort of way. Its mexican or spanish soul is absent. In its place, I would recommend Eydie Gorme.

EN ESPANOL/HOY - TWO GREAT CLASSICS!.......2006-12-03

En Espanol and Hoy on one CD -and worth every penny! These two spanish
albums are probably my very favorite Vikki Carr spanish albums.
I truly love every single song! And with such great songs as "Hoy", 'Hasta Que Vuelvas", "Y Volvere", and "Voy A Esperar" who can blame me? I have played this CD over and over and over again and I never get tired of it. On the contrary, I love it more and more each time I listen to it. If you don't already own this one, do yourself a favor and buy it. You won't regret it!

Se le dio igual trato a todas las canciones.......2005-11-22

A un disco como Siempre es hoy no se le puede hacer una version de remixes y tratar a todos los temas por igual, fue la impresion que me dio al escuchar los samples, era como escuchar la misma cancion una y otra vez, nada los identifica o individualiza y con Cerati ya estamos acostumbrados a que en un disco, cada tema tiene vida propia. Lo unico que se hizo fue borrar la genialidad de cada tema y agregar lo necesario para colocar el disco en una discoteca.

it's great!!!.......2005-10-30

cuando lo compre, realmente no sabia que esperar, al momento de escucharlo, quede asombrado, excelentes versiones, genial escuchar a kinky tocando casa, o el mismo cerati haciendo una mezcla de "Vivo" los dos discos que incluye la caja son muy buenos, hay excelentes versiones, hay que recordar que es un tributo al "siempre es hoy", un disco muy sensual, al arte del disco, sencillo, en aquarela, tal cual tuvo que haber sido...

limp, mediocre music from a normally great musician........2005-05-07

A remix album.Damn ! These things are not usually a good idea. lets face it, they are largely pointless.
From the start I cringed, Karaoke is a great song, capri whoever they/she/he is/are have really done their best to destroy it, well done you did it!!! A great pop song turned into mediocrity and so it goes on, actually it gets so embarassing to listen to that I started to laugh, Ha Ha ten bloody quid wasted ! woo hoo!
I guess it really is my own fault I should have listened first, but well Cerati is usually great and the original "siempre es hoy" is great stuff.

Pretty Good........2005-04-25

This album pretty much speaks for its-self its just remixes or the songs from Siempre es Hoy. Obviously that album was worthy enough to get a double disc cd of remixes dedicated to it. The songs are pretty good but they lack something that I cant quite put my finger on.. like they're missing climax in the songs. Most of them sound like the same beat all the way through the song, they never build it up and then just let it explode on you! Does that make sense? I think these songs are good enough to be played in the clubs, all they need is for the dj to speed them up a tad and pump up the bass! altogether I think if you're a cerati fan, you might appreciate the remakes of the originals, but if you're a hard core dance junkie you might wanna pass this one up.

Not bad, but not great........2004-06-16

I liked a few of the songs on this disk which are great for parties and stuff, but I still like the rock roots of the original siempre es hoy album. But for the price and the bit of recognition he probably gave some of these artists that I've never heard before, it was kind of worth it.

The Next Arrest.......2000-04-25

La Ley is back armed with their new record "UNO". This CD is a prime example of true Latin rock. La Ley's hit song "Aqui" is a true rythmic tune. Beto Cueva's vocals are uuparallel. It is truly different from their past CD "Vertigo". This is more digestible, and has excellent rythyms.
