- A masterpiece of melody
Whilst watching the great film Life Aquatic (starring the brilliant Bill Murray) i was enthralled by the toons Seu Jorge was playing throughout the film, almost teasing me as i'm not a Bowie fan. But his interruptations are brilliant. Just him and an acoustic guitar, singing the songs that i recognise from yesteryear but in portuguese??

As i looked for a copy of the film's soundtrack, I struck upon this nugget of gold in the sand and immediately bought it. My daughter of only 9 years was dumb struck by Life on Mars, she now listens to it just as intently

- Brilliant music!
This album is fantastic. From hearing tracks during the film I tracked this down and have to say Seu Jorge is a genius!
His reworkings of Bowie classics are timeless, even more so than the originals. Not even Bowie knew they could sound this good!
If you understand Portuguese or not buy it and listen. Superb.

- Great songs in a mellow portuguese style
First heard these songs on the film 'Life Aquatic' and couldnt wait to get the CD. These songs are so beautifully and romantically sung by Seu George. Even if like me you dont know a word of Portuguese it is stll fabulous. Great for listening to in bed to lull you to sleep.

- Bowie Goes To Brazil
Film director Wes Anderson has a sixth sense for the quirky and magical. So it's no surprise, that he included Seu Jorge and his portuguese versions of David Bowie-classics in the movie "Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou".

This CD is all the tracks from the movie and more. With his acoustic guitar and soothing voice Seu Jorge makes all the well known Bowie hits a joyful revisit. So if you like Bowie - even just a little bit - this will be a CD, that will stay in your CD-player for weeks.

- It's a star man in portugese
If you enjoy music of David Bowie, you'll probably will find these arrangements by Seu Jorge fascinating. Like David Bowie said about these songs, they bring out a whole new level of beauty in them. Here, it's just Seu Jorge with his acoustic guitar singing in portugese David Bowie classics. You might say that this is the sunny side of Bowie...?!
Not all the arrangements work perfectly, but some of Seu Jorge version are equal (or dare say "better" in some cases) than Bowie's recordings.
Difficult to say, what people who are not familiar with the original songs think or people who don't like Bowie's music. I for one enjoy these songs like I enjoy the originals. Made me appreciate Bowie's songs even more.
Well, this is a great ... Read More:
