Release Date April 26, 2004
'Boca E Boca' is one the the highlights of this experience as it was only released in 1976 on Nana Caymmi's treat 'Renascer' with Nana's father Dorival singing Milton's vocal part....get that album as well by the way as it's for life! This is a treasure trove courtesy of Far Out records - thankyou!

Other reviewers have already commented upon the way that Tarja's voice draws you into another world, something that I will echo. She is absolutely unique - and absolutely fabulous.
As far as the album is concerned, this is very much an orchestral / operatic work.

Standout rocking tracks are 'I Walk Alone', 'Die Alive' and 'Ciaran's Well', but then you have songs like 'Boy And The Ghost' and 'Sing For Me' which begin with beautiful simplicity, drawing you in to really listen to the vocals, then building up to a powerful climax.

Amazon, please start telling us in the product details if CDs are copy-protected - it may avoid frustration on the part of your customers!!

This album is Amazing!!If you have his first 2 albums,then you just have to buy this one!Stand out tracks for me are the classic Club hit "still not a Player","Dream shaterer" the original version is better than the the remix on the Capital punishment album,his flow is just amazing on this song and he just doesnt stop for breath!"how we roll 98" is another classic with his children singing in the chorus over a Janet jackson sample.The main reason these songs were not released before are because there are alot of samples in the songs which they did not get clearance for until after Pun died..Buy This! ~Rest in Peace~big punisher

Salsa Around the World

CD-Charts > Music > Cuban and Latin
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 18, 2003
i heard this in a shop in the west end, and heard most of it while I was shopping. I enjoyed it that much that I decided to buy the CD!

I've played it all weekend and enjoyed every minute of it. The different cultural styles underneath the basic salsa beats are very interesting too.
