I became curious about Sandra because of her involvement with Enigma, one of my favorite sounds. I read where Sandra is very popular in Europe but has not caught on in the US, so I got a number of her albums. I now know why she is not popular here. Even though her voice is angelic, it is often drowned out by the monotonous drum beat that never changes from album to album and her words are hard to hear. If the unimaginative disco drum beat could be eliminated from all her songs, I would change my two-star rating to four stars. Without that, she will never be hit in North America.

This is just for the nostalgic Europop fan. I remember there was too much going on in the U.S. music scene in 1986 for her to become a hit. Somehow "Maria Magdalena" crossed the pond and became a big hit in Latin America. Other Europop bands like Alphaville and Erasure did pretty decently in Latin America as well. In the U.S. only the Pet Shop Boys could make a dent. The problem with Sandra is the music is too syrupy to remain relevant after it had run its top-40 life. Still, Euro and Latin fans will disagree and will remember how great it felt when she was on the radio all the time 20 years ago.

I know sandra's music since I was a kid and it sounds really fine. Actually she is also a very sympathic person. Her music sounds like german europop of the 80s(this is OK! It's nothing wrong with german popular music)she reminds me also of C.C. Catch and these german popartisis. Nice!

I've been listening to Sandra's music since I was very young, and to this day I totally love her music! Her voice is hypnotizing! You should get her newest album, because the song "Invisible Shelter" is awesome!

I've never written a review, but was so disturbed by the quality of the information in this book, that I was driven to comment. I bet the person who wrote this would consider themselves a Progressive. No problem with any viewpoint, but then represent the product as an opinion piece. My first experiences with IDIOT Guides was that they took accurate information and explained it simply and clearly. In this book the analysis was so slanted, it became immediately obvious after the first few Chapters. I finally lost trust in the credibility and accuracy of the information. It's not a Guide--it is an opinion piece. I will be cautious about any future purchases of IDIOT Guides. Maybe they should change to WIKIBOOKS. Would like my money back on this one.

I use word since as a MAC owner I get a good number of messages from PC users, and using word is quicker than using a decoder such as MacLink
