1.The Brazilian Funk Experience: Patrick Forge Presents Rare Grooves from the EMI & Odeon Vaults 1968-1980 by: Various Artists April 03, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £4.01 (45%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £12.85
Some real gems here. Granted some of the tracks have been released on other compilation records (namely Gilles Peterson's; indeed Forge used to DJ with Gilles back in the eighties; check out their excellent Dingwalls record) but that's because the songs are excellent. There's a nice mix of funk, jazz, folk and soul here that is sure to make your average party goer stand up, take notice, and applaud your unique and well flavoured musical taste.

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.

On first listen I thought this album was ok but nothing spectacular. A few listens later and once I had got the sound of the first album out my head I really got into it. It is certainly more polished than their debut and it is more poppy but the end result is a collection of fantastic pop songs. The album reminds me of The Sounds and Metric but retains something that is definately CSS.

I just felt completely compelled to write my first ever review for this special album. I bought this on a recommendation from Amazon, thank you Amazon. To say that this album is good is an understatement, it's exceptional! Ceu's voice conveys a superb depth of emotion; her soothing sultry tones tug you right into the soul of the music. This emotionality is also coupled with a fine vocal texture that you can reach out and touch, I find this aspect of her voice completely addictive. This is an album that you simply must listen to if you have an interest in world music. The musical accompaniment is also excellent with its restraint. You can look to other reviews for comparisons with other musicians and comments on her musical influences, ... Read More:

5.Getz/Gilberto Vol.1: Remastered by: Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim May 25, 1999

Antonio Carlos Jobim goes down with Lennon/McCartney, Gershwin, Amstrong as one of the most influential songwriter/stylists of the 20th century. To judge the album on its own merits is one thing. Getz turns in small but perfectly formed solos. Astrid Gilberto's voice is ravishing, complementing husband Joao's voice with that incredibly restrained vulnerability that is the essence of Bossa. It is an album of incredible tenderness and instrospection. The studio atmosphere is very intimate with an almost homespun quality. For me its a five star album in its own right. However, this album has a far larger significance, in the way that Sargeant Pepper did. It changed everything and set off ripples that are still reverberating today. ... Read More:

Exactly 10 years ago, the promising Yugoslav producer Suba released his debut album Sao Paulo Confessions, featuring several singers based in that Brazilian city including Bebel Gilberto, whose own debut was mostly produced by Suba and released soon after his tragic death in a fire in his apartment. Subsequent attempts to recreate his elusive magic failed, but if it is misleading to mention that classic album in the context of this new one by the collective Sonantes - among whom are many of the same artists - there is a comparable sense of exploration, discovery and sheer pleasure in these performances. The first surprise in that these are live recordings, not programmed beats. Each and every sound in a physical act, and interchange between musicians ... Read More:

10.Bossa Nova - Jazz Masters 53 by: Stan Getz April 08, 1996

This music album was made in 1963 and it's totally timeless and as fresh in 2008 as when it was first made. I'm 43 and my dad is 70. My 8 year old son and all of us can't get enough of this. Getz's Chega De Saudade (One note samba) is totally the best jazz funk ever and all the other melodies are totally gold as well. You can buy this for yourslef or as a gift for a friend and it's totally priceless - worth a 100 times it's weight in gold. Enjoy!!!!
