Outstanding. BUY THIS ALBUM.......2007-05-13

I first learned of Zoe a couple of years ago when I happened to see of one their videos on Spanish MTV and was immediately blown away. Their music really doesn't feel "Latin" at all and is more reminiscent of bands like Radiohead, Nirvana, Pulp, and Interpol than well known Latin bands like Mana. In fact, I would say their music generally blows the aformentioned anglo bands out of the water.

This album is no exception and is probably Zoe's finest to date. It's not as poppy or Beatlesesque as some of their previous works (ie, like "Love"). Instead, it has a feel that is darker, more nuanced, and layered (more like their song "Miel," for those of you who've heard it). There are some outstanding songs on this album, Memo Rex, No Me Destruyas, Paz, and Via Lactea being some of my favorites. And in addition to having great songs, the album hangs together well - each song stands on its own while fitting in well with the album as a whole.

I have no idea how well known Zoe is in Latin America, but it's a shame they are not better known in the U.S. The fact that they're not so well known is probably just an indicator of how closed and U.S.-centric music tastes tend to be in the U.S.

At any rate, this album is fantastic and is highly recommended. To those looking for their more poppy side, I'd recommend their earlier albums though.

El mejor album de Zoe hasta la fecha.......2007-03-01

Despues de cuatro anos de escuchar a Zoe, este es definitivamente el mejor disco de la banda. De nuevo Leon nos presenta una estelar voz y el resto de la banda el arte de sus estrumentos.

Este album se ha convertido en uno de mis favoritos, y lo seleccione como el mejor album del ano 2006. Se lo recomiendo a cualquier persona amante de la musica rock en espanol. En realidad, este album ya es un clasico entre este genero.

Zoe lo volvio a hacer!

NUMERO UNO.......2007-02-11

yeah, Zoe make you wish your corazon was atomico. very anglo in style (it's often more interesting when artists from Latin America can insert some of their own musical tradtions into their musical style) but there is beautiful imagery in the lyrics and the songs get stuck in your head. i recommend it to anyone who might enjoy rock en espanol or brit pop, with a Mexican twist. i've had it on constant repeat for months.

A must have for 2007.......2007-01-18

This CD is a must have for 2007.
Each song is a trip in space, in the heart and emotions.
Via Lactea, No Me Destruyas and Nunca are soon to be part of classic Spanish Rock.
Is a great produced album with greater sound of music.
Do your self a favor and pick a copy of this album:)

An important work in the Clube Da Esquina canon, but not a cohesive classic..........2006-03-23

I was excited about getting this album. Based upon strength of tracks like "Vento de Maio" and "Equatorial" I decided to buy the CD. Having now spent some time with it I can say that I am glad that I had been well-versed in the Clube Da Esquina aesthetic prior to listening. I was able to be a more patient listener; yet I simultaneously had higher expectations of Lo Borges.

In many ways I have found A Via Lactea to be a challenging work. One thing that I appreciate about the collaborations of Milton Nascimento, Lo Borges, Beto Guedes, et al. is that they seem to keep one another focused, evoking stellar and timeless art. However, in this solo project Lo Borges gets a bit indulgent, a bit sloppy. And perhaps that's part of his goal. But a few tracks do suffer from dated-sounding synths or arrangements. On other songs, such as the remake of his own "Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser" and on "Olha O Bicho Livre" he verges on the genre of Forro. I was startled by this choice of his, having a hard time appreciating the merits of the music while trying to reconcile that the songs sounded as if they were sliding into polka.

I really wanted to love the album. It pays off in some ways, in that there are moments where it touches upon greatness. The inclusion of sister Solange acts as a fine complement. If anything, I would say that she is underused, appearing on only two tracks. Her contributions to Clube Da Esquina No.2" and to "Vento de Maio"-unequivocally the apogee of A Via Lactea-are indispensable. Alas, the beauty and energy trails from there, ending with an uptick on the final track "Nau Sem Rumo" which comes off like vintage Clube Da Esquina. Yet when stacked next to his better work I feel that the songs is revealed to be an impostor.

If you are just a dabbler, I would say go for the singles "Clube Da Esquina No. 2," "Equatorial," and "Vento de Maio". These three are all five star affairs. But if you enjoy his solo work from the 1970s or 1980s, then I would say give the whole album a whirl.

Lo Borges finally stands out.......2005-01-04

With "A Via Láctea", Lô Borges has finally the chance to show his talent. Okay, he was credited on the seminal album "Clube da Esquina" and sang some of its songs, either solo or accompanying Milton Nascimento, but he was seen as just a co-singer and composer. In this album, he finally stands out.

The first half of the record (the "Side A") is particularly strong: I dare to say that among the first five songs, it's impossible to name "the best": all of them are great. The maturity of the arrangements and orchestrations revolving around an artist that was just 27 at the time is stunning. Still, "A Via Láctea" always gets me with its mysterious chords and strings.

The second half of the record (the "Side B") is a little bit more relaxed, something that can be listened on the tracks "Equatorial", "Chuva na Montanha" (which has an enchanting guitar solo, a very sweet song) e "Olha o Bicho Livre". There is also a rendition of "Tudo o Que Você Podia Ser" - but alas, the 1972 version of "Clube da Esquina" is better. On the other hand, there is "Vento de Maio" to compensate this, and it's sung both by Lô and Solange Borges, which unfortunately hasn't recorded much since then as she is so gifted as his brother.

In short: for the lovers of brazilian music, particularly those fond of the "Clube de Esquina" artists, this is a no-brainer. Careful if you want to listen to it in your car, though: the CD has been released with "Copy" "Protection" tecnology.

*Gato por Liebre*.......2001-07-21

En realidad estas no son la versiones originales,son un popurri de todas estas grandes canciones de estos grandes conjuntos Espanoles,en realidad,uno busca sastifacer su deseo de oir,esas viejas canciones,cuando no esta alcanze de uno hallar los Cd de estas canciones en los formatos originales,yo e oido estas canciones y son muy buenas estas versiones,German es todo un senor guitarrista,ademas de eso,le da un toque especial.... hay muchos cantantes,conjuntos,que hacen versiones del ingles,del Italiano y de canciones francesas,unas son de muy buena calidad y otras dan que desear....y el que conoce,no se le da *gato por Liebre*

*Via Lactea*.......2001-07-21

En realidad es un gran conjunto,quienes no los oyeron interpretar canciones de los *Mitos,Brincos,Angeles de Espana*no pueden juzgarlos,ya que para mi si una copia de una cancion esta bien hecha,son dignos estos senores de *Via Lactea,tenerlos en su discoteaca particular..si eso vamos a eso de*Gato por Liebre*,hay muchos cantantes,conjuntos,que copian las originales versiones ya sea de canciones americanas,Inglesas,Italianas o francesas,para hacer una replica y muchas veces dan que desear....En caso de *Via Lactea* son buenas estos popurries....!!!!

Vendiendo "Gato por Liebre".......2000-10-02

Landa fue un integrante de Los Mitos, que escribió y cantó "Si te Acuerdas de mí", Ford no es ford, sino Ransford, quien escribió Have you ever loved somebody? para The Hollies, popularizada por The Searchers y grabada exelentemente al español por Los Angeles, etc. El CD Via Lactea no contiene ninguna de esas maravillosas grabaciones, sino copias cantadas por German Mangandi, a quien nunca he oido mencionar, esto aparece solo en el interior de la cubierta. La cubierta exterior es un ardid para poder vender, sales rank = 288,546 víctimas.

Not Old Time Gold Hits Original Recordings!.......2000-09-25

These songs are cover versions sung by an unknown singer: German Mangandi, not original recordings. There is a big difference between Mangandi and Los Brincos (Los Mitos, Los Angeles or Los Iracundos).It is a pity, songs like "Si te acuerdas de mi", "Momentos", "Lo que yo quiero" etc, are really beautiful. The cover of this CD is a trick, I bought it, played it and threw it away.
