This is a crazy mix of driving beats, wonderful Spanish clips, smooth singing and exotic instruments. There's a bit of everything, but it's all undeniably Mexican, but not like any Mexican music you've heard before. If you're looking for something a bit different, then this is worth a look. Also check out their other album - just as good...
Format:Audio CD
A little like a Mexican Mark Ronson, electronic agricultural music that would be just as familiar in a trendy lounge as a Mexican cantina. If you like cafe tacuba or manu chau, this would be a toned down version. Highly recommended.

Amazing album, gets better with repeat listens!
26 Jan 2006
Format:Audio CD
I first heard Mexican Institute of Sound on KCRW here in Los Angeles, and thought "what a great sound" - it felt both nostalgic and futuristic at the same time. Sort of like Esquivel meets Nortec Collective, although that's not necessarily the best comparison. Needless to say, I've played this album for quite a few friends and they're all now hooked too. This is definitely an album that gets better and better with repeat listens - well worth picking up.

Loved it at first listen, but it gets even better.

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I stumbled across the band's MySpace profile and heard a snippet of one of their songs -- after a minute of listening to a clip, I came immediately to Amazon to buy the CD. I've been playing it nearly nonstop since it arrived, and it gets better with each listen. Definitely check it out -- the infectious grooves are perfect for shaking you out of the winter blahs.
