Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Light, breezy, and atmospheric, Juana Molina's Tres Cosas is a sonic journey that is at once soothing and intriguing. The instrumentation is spare but effective. "Uh" glides along on acoustic guitar and electronica loops that mingle with her soft vocals to create an appealing soundscape. The Argentinian singer/songwriter fuses folk and electronica rhythms on the title track. If you don't know Spanish, it doesn't matter. But even if you do, the lyrics are not the main focus here. These 13 tracks of electronica music are not so much for dancing as they are for reflecting and relaxing. With her soft half-spoken/half-sung vocals and sonic ambience, Molina sounds like what you'd get if you mixed folk singer Suzanne Vega and Yes' Jon Anderson. --Ramiro Burr

'New Age Music' - the wash of sound one gets when one walks into a shop selling crystals. There is something about the synthetic serenity of it that has the opposite effect to that intended in this case - instead, for some reason, I find it induces nausea and irritation to the point of anger.
The reason I bring that up is because in this extraordinarily beautiful, melodic, subtle and harmonious album, with it's tasteful yet adventurous combination of instruments, I have found something that achieves the effect that New Age music obviously intends for it's listeners. Juana Molina is a serious musician who actually had a successful career stint earlier on as a television comedienne, she does not seem to have her head in the clouds; I believe it must be the intrinsic quality of the music that gives it a genuine healing power (I have combined this with practising a spiritual healing technique - I would choose 'Tres Cosas' over most other music for this purpose) rather than a deliberate attempt to be 'healing.'
Stand out track? 'Isabel.'
One other thing - the entire album is sung in a language I do not understand - and don't for a second feel that I need to.
