WOW July 1, 2008
(15+ years of consistently great music)
Look at the year this came out. WAY AHEAD OF IT'S TIME.
This album is a perfect album for them as a band, because they really do show how DIVERSE and talented they really are.
Yo!, but what's up with these prices???!!!
Obra de Arte Mal Entendida July 13, 2005
Este es probablemente el mejor disco de los tacubos. Sin embargo, muchas personas sienten que no sirve porque es tan diferente a otros disco de la banda, pero esa diference es lo que hace este album una obra de orta. Canciones como El Padre y Dos Ninos demuestras la madures del grupo. Este grupo es mas a alegre en otras producciones, pero no hay nada de malo en ser mas analitico. La primera vez que escuche este disco no me gusto francamente, pero despues me di cuenta de que el disco es impresionante despues de escucharlo varias veces La musica es genial. Este album es una excellente inversion.
An interesting experimental album May 6, 2005

In 1999 Cafe Tacvba released this double album entitled `Reves/Yo soY' (both were also sold separately) Again, the graphic design is very unusual but compelling at the same time, the double cd edition didn't have any bonus at all but the two cd's in a carton box with a very suggestive design on it.
The idea behind this double album seemed interesting but odd at the same time: `Yo soy' would include 52 new tracks (they are actually 15, but two of them are divided into many) from the band and `Reves' would include 12 instrumental themes original from the band and performed by themselves and other artists, such as Kronos Quartet, Arghul and Compania Nacional de Danza Folklorica.
Yo soY
This album is different from its antecessors, we listen to a more mature and calm band, the vocal style of Nru has obviously improved from last album (listen to `El rio' and you will know what I'm talking about) and the mature ness of the band is present in the entire album. This album may not contain their most famous pieces but I believe what happened is that a lot of people got so caught with `Re' that they were expecting something similar.
Songs like `El rio', `El polen' (sung again by Emmanuel) are pieces that didn't transcend as much as `La locomotora' for example, but that are very interesting pieces, the piano and the vocals in `El polen' are something like never before shown in their albums, `Bicicleta' is another very interesting piece from this disc.
Reves
Among all the Cafe Tacvba albums this is the one I find the most experimental. It contains 9 instrumental songs performed by the band in a variety of styles that are hard to define. One of the highlights of these is track 9, that would later be entitled `Reves'.
The most interesting pieces from this album are tracks 7, 8 and 10. `10' is a musical piece made with the sound of people dancing, what you actually listen to is people stomping their feet on the ground directed by Nieves Paniagua, this track gives you a sense of emptiness on the performance but it definitely is one of a kind song. `5.1' performed by `Arghul' is a classical type piece performed with `clarinetes'. The last piece is `M.C.' performed by none other that the `Kronos Quartet', this song is just beautifully played and well executed.
Overall, this is a very enjoyable album for any Cafe Tacvba fan interested in the evolution of the band and not in having another `Re'. It shows an evolution and mature ness, but it is not definitely the ideal album if you are going to listen to them for the first time, you had better buy their first two albums, enjoy them, understand them and then listen to how they evolved in these two interesting pieces that are `Reves/Yo soY'

These guys are re-inventing music!! It is such a refreshing CD!! After years of being bombarded with the boy bands and the britney spears, and the limp biscuits this album is an oasis of beauty, creativity, talent, and courage! Once you listen to this album you will get hooked forever! It is like nothing you have heard in your life! Buy it!
