Aterciopelados - "Complemento"

[kinglouiexviii]

Finally! After six years, Aterciopelados is finally relesasing a spankin', brand new studio album. It's called Oye and it's first single "complemento" is already playing at myspace.com/aterciopelados.

Aterciopelados is one of my favorite bands of all time, and this first single is on par with their greatest hits. I can't wait to buy the new album. It will be released the first week of November in the US, followed by a short tour that includes Chicago, LA, New York, and Miami. Too bad their not coming to Texas because I really want to see them live.

I downloaded La Pipa De La Paz album recently, and its excellent. I plan on buying it soon and cheking out more of their music.

Thanks for the link, I'm digging this song. Lucky I live near LA.

Awesome news...they're awesome. I just closed MySpace, but I'll check'em out later.

Tortuga: Should check their greatest hits compilation EVOLUCION. It's terrific. Every single song on it is excellent. My favorite album by them is CARIBE ATOMICO. THis is where "maligno", perhaps my favorite song by them, appears.

If you have a chance, you should check them out in concert. I hear they're great live.

Man! I'm so excited. I've been waiting for this record for a loooooooong time. :)

Oops! The release date is actually October 24th NOT November. I also doubled check their concert scheducle and they have 7 California dates, but none in Texas. That is NOT cool! :(

Album dropped this week! Haven't bought it yet, but I'm planning to as soon as I have some extra cash. Can't wait to hear the entire cd!!

I'm really digging "Oye Mujer" from this new album, I'm still warming up to the rest of the album.

I love the cover too.

Yeah, I got it a shortly after it was released. While it's not their best album of all time, I enjoyed it more than their last studio album GOZO PODEROSO.

"Complemento" is such a cool track, though. One of my favorites and one of Aterciopelados' best recordings to date. By the way, have you seen a video for this song. I haven't.

[tortuga]

I only saw it on YouTube, I have yet to see it any of the spanish music channels. It has some weird stop-motion animation.

Cool. I'm at work right now but I will check out the video later. Thanks for the link.

Now after all these cool things you're saying, guys, I feel like revisiting this band! :) I'll start with YouTube. I remember the days in the early 90s of Florecita Rockera and other hits from those days. Do you prefer, guys, the music of the band or the music of the singer as a solo artist. Is it very similar?

[tortuga]

I love both Aterciopelados and Andrea's solo music. But she's so much more interesting and innovative with the band. Her solo songs are all about giving birth, being a mom, and lactating.

and I love "Florecita Rockera".

florecita rockera tu te los buscaste, te volviste popera no tienes perdon!

[Carlitoz]

Ja, ja! Yeah, that song was fun, Tortuga. :)
I checked out Complemento on YouTube. It's cool and the video too. I liked it. I might download it if iTunes has it. I saw also three videos of Andrea. I liked Baby Blue and A Eme O! I guess those are the names. I might download them too.
Gracias!

!

Exactly! :o After I heard it I was like...mmmmm. ???

Although it has about three really good tracks, I was very dissappointed with Andrea's solo album. It's worst flaw is actually the fact that it's very boring, something that Aterciopelados's music is NOT!

Of their older material, my favorite song is "maligno". That's one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time!

Let me look for "Maligno" then. One more on my list. :)
