 Soda
Stereo is perhaps the most popular band ever in Latin America.
From 1984 until 1997, they played the largest venues of Latin America,
shows in the U.S.A. and the Spain Expo 1992. All three members
have moved on to other projects after a series of farewell concert
in 1997. See below for album details.

ALBUMS |

SELF-TITLED
1984
Their first album had a strong reggae influence, and poked fun at emerging consumerist
values in songs like "Jet-set" and "Sobredosis de TV".
 |
 |
NADA
PERSONAL 1985
With Nada Personal (Nothing Personal), they shifted into a more New Wave
sound. Reminiscent of the German band Falco ("Rock me
Amadeus"), with clean guitars and synthesizer accompaniment.

SIGNOS
1985
Considered by many to be their best album, shows them at the peak of their lyric
writing. A dark album, Cerati, singer and guitarist, says he wrote the lyrics in a
burst of creativity. In later concerts many of the songs on this album got makeovers
and were played in a different style.
|
 |
RUIDO
BLANCO 1987
A live album capturing the best of their Latin American tours.
|
 |
DOBLE
VIDA 1988
Produced by Carlos Alomar, known for his work with David Bowie, this album has a more
modern sound and less unique keyboard work. One can hear the band moving away from
their new wave roots.
|
 |
CANCIÓN
ANIMAL 1990
Hear the group move in to rock and roll territory, with witty and poignant lyrics
intact. Uncommon for non-prog rock bands, Soda Stereo uses a 7/4 time signature on
"En el Séptimo Día".
|
 |
DÝNAMO 1993
Dubbed experimental by the group, songs diverge from their past work. Compared to Nada
Personal, they sound like an entirely different band. Drone guitars in
"Primavera 0" and a neo-punk sound in "Texturas" show the group
exploring new territory.
|
 |
SUEÑO
STEREO 1995
After a long break and several side projects, the group records their last complete
album. For the first time, Beatles and Blues influences shine through unashamed, and
Soda Stereo adds a small string section, subtle horns and house-inflected synthesizer.
|
 |
COMFORT
Y MÚSICA PARA VOLAR 1996
Most
of the songs from the MTV Unplugged concert appear on this disc.
It also contains the first available covers of others groups' material.
It is a sparse, uncomplicated rendering of eleven songs, not entirely
"unplugged".
