 A RARE GEM Oct 19, 2005
SO WHAT if you don't understand Spanish? Most foreigners that listen to American or British rock music can;t put two English words together. Still, it's the music and the vibes that count. In these days of disposable pop, this album is one of those rare finds in which ALL THE SONGS ARE GOOD!! This was my first Charly Garcia CD. I'd never heard him or his songs, but had heard of him, so I took a gamble, bought the CD and I never looked back! My recommendation is to buy (almost) anything this man has recorded between 1972 and 1991. Skip the 90's for the most part, and check out his latest "Rock and Roll Yo" (2004). Try to buy the digitally remastered version. The sound quality and synths sound a bit aged by now, but the music is still good. Just remember that the Beatles, even at the top of their career, still recorded on inferior recording equipment. Sgt. pepper's was recorded on a 4 track recorder!

 Bom, Bueno, Good Sep 11, 2005
Yo soy un fan brasileño de Charly. Estaba procurando la clásica Rezo Por Vos, pero PDLR tiene mucho más. La Ruta..., Rap de las Hormigas (con Paralamas), No Voy en Tren, Buscando um Símbolo de Paz (con Paula Toller) e Necesito tu Amor son grandes canciones. El album, todavía, deja un poco a desear en ciertos momentos, especialmente cuando comparado a la trilogia Yendo..., Clics Modernos e Piano Bar, records perfectos del princípio al fin.
Lo siento por mi español!

This album will NEVER DIE! Jul 14, 2005
This was my first exposure to the music of Charly garcia. And what an album it is! This is one of those rare gems in which ALL of the songs are actually GOOD! Recorded in Brazil in 1987, cooperating with Garcia are well known Argentine and Brazilian artists Paralamas, Fabiana cantilo, and Luis Alberto SPinetta. A classic of the rock en espanol genre. Today the CD sounds a little dated, but the music will NEVER DIE! GRAB THIS ALBUM TODAY!
PS: Stay Away from anything he ever recorded between 1991 and 2003. That's when he entered his kirk cobain phase: crappy music for foolish teenyboppers.

Parte de la Religion: an essential part of Rock's best works Feb 10, 2005
I learned about Charly Garcia late in my High School years. Though I didn't really GET into his music until later, this was the earliest I caught a glimpse of the work of this musical genius. This album, recorded by Charly before he "lost it" (like a Syd Barrett of sorts), is packed with gems. It's one of those precious moments in Rock en Español. One very long moment that doesn' die out all through the album. From "Necesito tu Amor", into "Buscando un Simbolo de Paz" and the title track, including tracks where he accompanies himself by Brazilian rock grands, Paralamas, and almost alternating between upbeat and more quiet songs all through to the warm "La Ruta del Tentempie", the album can only grow on you. You will find yourself (Spanish-speaking or not) humming the tunes, some of rock's best tunes just about anywhere, wondering where has this awesome artist been all your life.
Now, if you know Charly, you know what I am talking about. Recorded in 1987, "Parte de la Religion" is probably the last brilliant album Charly recorded before entering a long obscure period, during which he stopped making much sense, he lost quite a bit of his voice and his sanity due to drugs and alcohol abuse. Still, "Parte..." will remain an essential part of Rock's best works forever.

Say no more Nov 19, 2003
Parece un disco medio olvidado pero es im-pre-sio-nan-te!!!
Es el cuarto disco solista de Charly García, del año 1987 (si no contamos el maxi-simple "Terapia intensiva", y es sorprendente la cantidad de ideas musicales, la instrumentación, el sonido, las melodias. Los temas inoxidables que escribe, la forma de tocar y de cantar son inimitables.
El uso de los teclados y las maquinas es inusual, usa en la mayoria de los temas el clasico Yamaha DX-7 lo que le da un sonido particular al disco, lo interesante es escuchar como usa los sonidos y como los graba.
Por ejemplo en "Parte de la Religion", "Adela en el carrousel", "El karma de vivir al sur", todos temas llenos de modernidad, inteligencia musical, bien tocados, bien grabados. Garcia consigue en este y todos sus discos un sonido muy particular dentro de Latinoamerica, muy dificil de imitar. Despues de "Parte de la religion" grabo la música para una peícula, "Lo que vendrá", tambien título del disco. Es interesante ir escuchando los discos en orden cronológico, aunque si nunca escucharon a Charly este es un excelente disco para comenzar.
