Maybe this isn't representative of Madredeus' work, but it is a beautiful album. The vocals are still as stunning with an interesting mix of electronic sounds. I began to like Madredeus' other albums after hearing this one because no amount of remixing can take away the beautiful, haunting quality of many of their songs, and this album only seems to enhance them.

This review is from: Electronico (Audio CD)

I've always loved Madredeus and electronic music. Having both things in a same album was an interesting issue. I don't regret to have bought this Electronico. Madredeus selected the elite of electronic music artists (Buscemi, Alpha, Télépopmusik, Moana Maru...) to remix some of their beautiful songs.

If you expect to listen to added samplers and dance tracks you'll be disappointed. All groups have reinterpreted (and even charmingly dissected) each song to create this compilation. Minimal electronica is excellently mixed with Teresa Salgueiro ("the singer with the amber voice") performances and Madredeus' melancholic (and irremediable marine) atmospheres.

Madredeus' Electronico is simply a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars A remix CD like no other, January 10, 2003

This review is from: Electronico (Audio CD)

I had never heard of Madredeus before stumbling upon this album of Electronica remixes. While expecting the usual Hard Dance-floor Beat remixes, I was stunned to hear down-tempo, chilled-out, electronic beats by some of my favorite musicians (Dusted, Craig Armstrong, Alpha). The others seemed to work in the same vein, which is fine by me. If you like laid-back, chilled out or trip-hop music with ethereal vocals, this CD is hard to beat. Rarely do I find A CD that I am totally happy with, but this is a keeper and a solid alternative to the usual run of the mill "Chillout" compilation.
