Informed by a vintage Hollywood production sheen and flashback-fueled, identity-questioning melodramatics worthy of Hitchcock, Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar's sexually-charged film was quickly hailed as a mature masterpiece. The film's classic Hollywood conceits are deep-rooted, and Iberian composer Alberto Iglesias reinforces the film's often retro mood via a brooding, classically oriented score with an ear towards history. It may briefly excerpt Rossini's "Kyrie" to haunting effect, but the touchstone here is the Bernard Herrmann of Hitchcock's prime, with an emphasis on their epochal Vertigo and especially the tense, dark strings of Psycho (which "Escena Familiar" and "Cine Olimpo" echo with haunting grace). But while Iglesias capably evokes the color and spirit of those iconic touchstones, he crucially does it without sacrificing his own identity. Evocations of Spanish culture come mostly via vintage performances of "Quiza, Quiza, Quiza," "Cuoro Matta" and others, but on the expansive "Puerta Finale" the composer skillfully interweaves his Herrmann influences with touches of mournful jazz, flamenco and "Kyrie"'s choral echoes, creating a compelling, oft chilling post-modern new whole. -- Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Even better than the film.......2004-11-21

Alberto Iglesias did it again, a wonderful soundtrack!

His last collaboration with Pedro Almodovar, "Talk to her", is one of the best scores I've heard in recent years. In that movie, the scenes of the country villa, accompanying with the touching song of "Cucurrucucu Paloma" by Caetano Veloso, easily became one of the most beautiful five minuets I ever had in a theatre.

Before I went to see "Bad education", I can't help wondering, Could I have another enjoyable moment like "Cucurrucucu Paloma"? Luckily, I did have one, sort of. The Spanish rendition of "Moon River" is such a beautiful and haunting piece. But unluckily, the way the music delivered in the film is so disturbing. It started as a beautiful and innocent singing by a boy standing by the river while ended up with an innuendo of the ugly fact of sexual violations. However, if you didn't see the movie, the "moon river" will be a pure pleasant enjoyment.

Compared to the slightly weak movie, the music itself is powerful and flawless. From the beginning to the end, it doesn't have a single dull moment. In a word, buy this awesome CD!

5 out of 5 stars The Starving Crocodiles... .......2004-11-17

The Starving Crocodiles

Almodovar's latest movie is undoubtedly his best, and a very inventive film-noir that absorbs and electrifies you from the very beginning. Alberto Iglesias' score serves "as a cradle where the movie rests" as the auteur himself said.

La Mala Educacion (Bad Education) is one of -if not- the best soundtrack composed this year, and its style is absolutely magnificent. Following the film-noir trend, Iglesias' score is a mixture of tunes a la Herrman ("Juan y el Sr. Berenguer", "Por mi grandisima culpa", "Escena Familiar"), poignant waltzes ("Foulard en seda", "La Carta", "Valsetto"), and vocalized cues that reflect the theme of the movie, and illustrate it fittingly ("Kyrie", "La piscina", "El cine como espejo"). "Cine Olympo", an exquisite theme for the movie-within-the-movie manifests itself disguisedly many times, in variations, as Iglesias' has done in previous scores where a parallel story is narrated - The Flower of my Secret, Live Flesh, Talk to Her, and All About my Mother- however the best track in the score is the "Overture". Other superb tracks are "Carta del mas alla", "Plato", and "Adagietto"... melodies that crave lust, but "Puerta Final" -the MAIN theme- is absolutely grand; probably the best potpourri of songs written in the last decade, that will grab you by the horns from the moment it opens to the last saxophone refrain, in an orgasm of eight minutes that you will want to experience over and over again.

The soundtrack also consists of key songs that in one way or another relate to the main characters and the story: "Maniqui Parisien", "Cuore Matto", "Moon River" (a very avant-garde arrangement), and "Jardinero".

Alberto Iglesias has composed a score so dark, rich, hunting, powerful, and mysterious... that proves to be irresistible.

Experience the Bad Education!!!

3 out of 5 stars Not too bad for her third album.......2005-10-06

I bought her last album, No Voy A Mentirte, and I was quite pleased with it.
So here is how El Espejo breaks down, for me, anyway:
1. Como algo mas: This is the first single from the album, it's pretty good. Fav lyric: "Y alguien que no vi quedo atras."

2. No me digas: kind of catchy, but nothing special.

3. Cerca: I really like this track. The lyrics are good, the melody is catchy --> "Fui la dueña de un tiempo que se fue."

4. Ese chico: The electric guitar is a bit too much for me. I think if it were toned down it would sound better --> "Por eso yo te digo que el destino es como un sabado mas."

5. Sé: This is an awesome song. I guess you could call it a ballad. It's one of my favorites --> "Nos fuimos tan frios para no volver."

6. Me falta una traicion aun: Not bad, but not the best.

7. El momento: Another ballad, nothing special --> "Disfrutar el momento aunque tapemos todo el dolor."

8. Ruido: This track is catchy, I like it --> "Y si me encierran no puedo respirar, y si me sueltan no tengo de donde agarrar."

9. Por el marco de tu cara: Yet another ballad. I don't know, she's not very good with the ballads.

10. Batallar: Great song, great melody --> "He minado el cielo, para que baje mi Dios."

11. Puedo ver: Too fast-paced, but listenable.

12. Adoquines: MY FAVORITE TRACK of this album. It's simple, the melody rocks, the lyrics are great. This is the best track by far --> "No quiero estar en tu realidad, no llores mas."

13. Cambio los rayos: Another ballad. I don't like this one.

14. Mundo de canciones: An alright track.

5 out of 5 stars ¡Eso es, vamó ya!.......2007-03-25

Este segundo disco del onubense (o huelvano, como quieras) Sergio Contreras sigue la fórmula de su primer disco "De luz y de sal" sólo en el hecho de que sigue innovando y creando nuevas fusiones. Es una mezcla distinta y casi indefinible de rap (en la voz de Sergio), el quejío flamenco (su amigo inseparable, Fernando Caro), el hip-hop, R&B, reggaetón, y un sabor único del sur. Entre las doce canciones se encuentra temas de:
-- amor ("Yo te siento"; "Mírame," que es una de mis favoritas por el uso magnífico del quejío; "Niña sin ti," que cuenta con la colaboración del cantante gaditano David DeMaría; "Tu angel de la guarda"; y la balada "Ahora quién," sin relación ninguna a la canción de Marc Anthony)
-- su propia música ("Qué más te da, chiquilla")
-- amor por su Andalucía ("Ole," que sigue en la misma vena que el tema "Reino andalusí" del primer disco)
-- los problemas de autoestima ("El espejo")
-- la religión y el ateísmo frente a los problemas que hay en el mundo ("¿Por qué?")
-- las drogas ("Gracias," que toma forma de una carta de un traficante a un chico que está hospitalizado, agradeciéndole por haberle dado el dinero para su chalet y sus coches, y quejando de que las madres siempre están llorando y tó)
-- la muerte de los adolescentes en la carretera ("Quién lo diría")
-- el reggaetón y su asociación con una cultura de crimen y drogas y machismo ("Andaluces disparando cante," con el reggaetonero gaditano Miguel Saez; la letra lo dice todo: "Ahora aprovecho y te disparo/ sólo letras hechas con mis manos./ Sin balas, pistolas, heroes de ficción/ vete enterando el reggaetón/ no es coacción./ Creeme no es necesario/ mezclar canción con sangre.")

El disco es buenísimo, y tiene algo para todos... ¡es lo mejor del nuevo hip-hop andaluz! ¡Muy recomendado!

        It's sad that this band has broken up, because they had tremendous talent. This was not missing on this album...the raw vocals, uplifting melodies, and meaningful lyrics are all great reasons to buy this album. I recommend it for Spanish and non-spanish speakers alike. Hombre en el espejo is one of my most treasured musical albums. It is an awesome listening experience and worth every penny!!!
