This review is from: Chill: Brazil 2 (Audio CD)

The other reviews are good enough, but I just wanted to give this CD 5 stars because it is so good. I like Chill 1, but this is my favorite of the 3 CD's in this series. Several of the songs (by Preta Gil & Joyce) were so good that I got their individual albums. Some songs are new (to me!) and some are old songs remade, but all are terrific!

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Double Disc CD of MPB, November 14, 2003

By

This review is from: Chill: Brazil 2 (Audio CD)

I find the previuos review very helpful - however I actually enjoyed this one a bit better than the first. The first one, compiled by Marcos Valle, was solid but had some pretty iffy tracks on there. This one, compiled by Joyce, is a bit better than that one through in through. The compilation is made by WEA International, is a double disc set of some musica popular Brasil (MPB) and some older Bossa Nova.

It features some of the legendary singers and songwriters of Brazil along with some of the not so publicized contemporary artists or popular artists through the years. You'll see Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Milton Nascimento, Hermeto Pascoal, Gilberto Gil's tunes in there along with Bebel Gilberto, Kaleidoscopio, Preta Gil, Sonia Rosa, Tania Maya, Zuco 103 and the like. The musical styles range from MPB to some classic Bossa Nova and in the end, CD 1 is stronger than CD 2.

In the end, this is a solid compilation which I think is stronger than the first Chill Brazil. I like how some of the old tunes are mixed here, and the classic Jobim sound. My favorite cut is, well, the Joyce exclusive which has hints of her classic "Feminia" written all over it. Gilberto Gil's "O Lugar Do Nosso Amor" is also cool - I liked the hint of "So Tinha De Ser Com Voce" in it even then. My gripe? Well, again, it's not the strongest of MPB, and was including Marcos Valles "Crickets Sing for Ana Maria" an oversight? (it's track 12 on his Chill Brazil). Finally - WEA released a few other cd's mixed by Eddy De Clercq titled "Boss-A-Troniq" and "Boss-A-Troniq II". They're pretty solid new Bossa Comps which feature Towa Tei, Nicola Conte, EBTG, Truby Trio, etc. - music popular in 2000-2001.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad....Not Great., November 3, 2003

By 

M. Katayama-Lee (Santa Monica, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chill: Brazil 2 (Audio CD)

I was disappointed with this CD, because I got the previous release, "Chill: Brazil 1" and enjoyed that thoroughly. This collection is not bad, however it's not nearly as good as the first one released. It was compiled by legendary singer, Joyce (whose songs are by far the best of the CD). There is also a great song by Azymuth on here, "Tamborim, Cuica, Ganza e Berimbau", which is definitely worth checking out, however it's probably better to buy the Azymuth CD that has that song, then to buy this whole album. There are other really good songs on here, but it all depends on if you want to buy a CD for ony 5 or 6 good songs (out of 38 - remember it's a double disc set).
