5.0 out of 5 stars Progressive Brazillian Music, February 22, 2006

This is my favorite Lenine album, but it is rare and expensive if you can find it. If Peter Gabriel had been born in Brazil ...no, that's too easy. Lenine plays acoustic guitar like a percussion instrument, sings like Caetano with cahones, and the bass player is always upfront and center in the same way Tony Levin is upfront - the real difference between Lenine and Peter Gabriel is that Lenine swings.
Lenine is mysteriously absent from the typical U.S. hipster collection. He's more melodically driven than Chico Science, who might be found in such a collection. Until Science died a few years ago they were contemporaries on the cutting edge of progressive Brazillian pop/jazz/rock fusion. (It's hard to define this music because it fearlessly goes where ever it wants, but where Chico Science leans toward punk and heavy metal Lenine leans toward traditional Tropicalia and smooth funk.)
Let me put it this way, if you liked David Byrne's popular first compilation of Brazillian artists from the 60's (Belize Tropicale) and if you like Peter Gabriel's middle solo years then this is for you. All of Lenine's albums are worth a spin around the block (or the treadmill) and if you wonder if it's all studio magic then listen to Lenine "In Cite," a lean live album recorded with a powerhouse trio. The results are startling and powerful. This guy deserves a little limelight.
Ani DiFranco does a vocal turn on one demonic cut from Falange that's worth the price of admission.

5.0 out of 5 stars The art of silence.........., November 26, 2002

I first got in contact with Lenine 4,5 years ago. He had released his second album then, i i was immediately grabbed by the "new" sound produced. Fantastic, this man could sing about social problems and missery without getting "heavy"
Over the years he got better and better. Na Pressão is a brilliant album, and Falange Canibal can be mentionned in one breath....I met Lenine once backstage in Amsterdam ( Holland ) a day i'll never forget.
The power of making statements without raising voice...

Lenine a musical master living in Brasil....Pernambuco falando ao mundo!

4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely creative! Shall I say something else?, January 1, 2005

I'm a musician, and for me the most important thing is to be crative, do something, have his or her own style. That's Lenine. I was never very interested about his work. And I don't know why, I bought his album, and it's very good. Nothing is the same, you fly in a collection of experience, always in a good taste and mood. Very nice. Must have!
