Press Reviews Well, some reviews from my friends (I paid them :)): * masa said on 23/11/00 I really love the muzic this guy composes. It kicks ass... I can't wait to own his second CD. I'm sure it'll live up to my expectations. * pham gerard said on 06/02/01 Excellent commentaire pour un album féerique!!!!!! * KTSFIN74 said on 05/03/01 Quite good. Sounds quite Jarreish (that happens to my favourite type of music). A terrific musician. Cheers, KTSFIN74 http://www.mp3.com/ktsfin74 * PETITJEAN said on 21/03/01 J'AIME ENORMEMENT CE GENRE DE MUSIQUE SURTOUT CELLE AVEC LES SONNERIES DE TELEPHONNE MOBILE. MAIS J'AIMERAIS SAVOIRE POURQUOI ON Y TROUVE PAS EN COMMERCE. * gabriel said on 22/03/01 impresionante,excelentes melodías y muy buen gusto por los sonidos,hacen de estos temas seguir creyendo que el buen sonido tecno hoy tiene calidad. * David Roberts said on 26/03/01 "La Chica Del Titanic". Has a cinematic quality to it , so the title is quite appropriate. Fairly easy on the ear, almost orchestral in places. Arrangement suggests a lack of ideas and/or experience. Worth a listen, if you want something inoffensive & undemanding rather than something to dance to. * FIN said on Mon, 22 Jan 2001 Hi, I just had the chance to listen to "Introduccion Al Modulazo" It has the elements of great work! It's amazing that it's only a computer producing that. Good stuff! Fin fin@worton.com * Mike Andrews said on 30/04/01 (Sintesis vertical) Pretty cool track... Intro reminded me a little of Lenny Kravitz. Nice melody, arpeggio's and FX. Anyway, nice work!

I was very impressed with the tracks I downloaded from peoplesound, and even more impressed with the rest of the album !! The standout tracks for me at the moment are "La Zona Islamica", "El Quinto Enigma", and "Vocodificacion". I don't think theres a track that I don't like !!. Its even more impressive that it is produced on a PC. I just hope that you continue to produce music (whens the next CD ?), and that perhaps one of the "new age" companies gives you a recording contract. You are definately much better than the vast majority of "electronica" I have listened to in the past couple of years (and I do listen to a lot). I'm going to pass the peoplesound link onto some friends of mine, and urge them to buy the album. All the best. regards Mat Dunning matthew.dunning@ntlworld.com * Animobo said on 24/05/01 Hola again Juan :-) Quite skillful of you to create your music with just software-synths, even if todays software often is very good. Your music is an example of that one does not need a room full of hardware to compose. The essence of music is not in the quantity but in the quality... Good luck with your music, Michael http://home.swipnet.se/animobo http://mp3.com/animobo * Gwydion said on 19/06/01 Juan, this CD is good. I mean, **really** good. I was totally blown away - it sounds snobby (sorry) but I didn't expect it to be so good given that it was totally done on the computer. I'm actually going to listen to it again shortly (it's 11pm here now), but really, wow! The way you used so many different sounds - samples - effects - it's so good! Even that damn annoying sound mobile phones make when they interfere with your stereo (track 15- Disconnecting People- the only one with an English name) sounds good when you use it. Seriously, dude, this is a *great* CD and one which I'm thrilled to have added to my collection :-D * Ahmed said on 21/06/01 Hi, juanma! How is it... I listened to one of your songs, the first on from the top, it's realy great!!! I loved it so much. its one of the styles that I like. and for me, there is no difference realy between playing the instrument and inserting the data as parameters or using softwares to produce music. as long as you are producing good music! Great work, my fried. I'm sure I'll listen to all your tracks later. http://www.mp3.com/ahmed * Craig Padilla said on 22/06/01 Hey, Juan. I like your new track. I also like the Jarre-influence it has. This was the first time I've had a chance to listen to your music and I must say I'm very pleased. Yours musically, Craig http://mp3.com/craigpadilla http://www.folkvord.net/padilla * Karoliina Salminen said on 29/05/01 Hi Juan, I just listened to sintesis vertical that I wasn't heard before. Great song. It seems that your music is guaranteed to be great.Karoliina http://www.mp3.com/ktsfin74
