1 out of 5 stars Better than "El Aguante", but still in the pits..........2005-07-15

OK, by now some of you are probably wondering how you can complain to Amazon to get rid of me because I am insulting a national treasure or putting down a great artist such as Carlos Alberto Garcia. truth be told, if I write a bad review of an album its only because I feel I should warn other consumers not to support truly bad music, con artists, or a public ripoff, such as this CD and a few others in this man's checkered career. To be fair, this album is actually better than a few of his previous ones, but he is nowhere the level of artistic maturity he should be at at this point in his career. There's acouple of catchy tunes (i'll let you find them yourself), and failing to coax Ringo (neither paul nor Yoko would return his calls), he conned Tony Sheridan to perform a duo on one of the tracks here. I guess Pete Best was too busy touring to phone in his drumming. No matter. It would have been an improvement on this album. Had Yoko sang on it, it probably would have sold as a novelty, but I digress... Conclusion: He's getting better all the time... but I'd skip this one and wait for the eventual "greatest hits" as soon as he dies. It won't be long (yeah yeah yeah yeah...!)

5 out of 5 stars Charly is Back.......2004-02-10

Influencia marks the great return of the King (or should I say father?) of Spanish Rock. After Hija de la Lagrima, Charly produced some chaotic records, playing around with styles. Influencia is sort of a Concept Album, showcasing his mastery of different styles.

Todd Rungren's Influenza is the basis of 2 versions, but those lyrics and the way of playing it makes it look like if it was Charly's own.

There are some old songs resurrected here and given a facelift, like Encuentro con el Diablo & Happy and Real (from Tango 4).

If you're new to Charly, I would start here. It is modern, powerful and genius.
