5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums I own!!!, December 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Maquinarama (Audio CD)

I bought this album from one of the girls working at the airport mall in Recife in Brazil.. I could barely hear it on the overhead, and asked (as well as I could) who the artist was. She told me, but there was no music stores in the small mall. Five minutes later she came running out of the store and asked me if I wanted to buy the one she had, I said, "sim!" It was all scratched up and skipped on two of the songs, and here I am on amazon buying the album again, this time with the jewel case and cover!!!! Great upbeat without getting too cheesy. Great mix of guitars acoustic and electric and almost hip-hop beats.

When I bought a previous album by Skank, I was a bit disappointed (although I appreciate it more now). Therefore, I was a bit hesitant to buy this album. Via Napster I listened to the hits Tres Lados and Balada Do Amor Inabalavel (ex-no.1 in Brazil), which I both liked, so I bought it. And I must say that I'm very happy with this one. Maybe not the traditional sound of Brazil, but more indie, but I think some tracks would be really great in a club. Especially the title track bursts with energy (it gives me the same feeling as Prodigy-tracks, although their music is nothing like the Prodigy), and the whole album is certainly worth a try.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good CD, October 14, 2000

This review is from: Maquinarama (Audio CD)

I got the chance to visit Brazil this summer, and while I was driving around, a song popped out from the rest. It was Skank's "Tres Lados" off Maquinarama. I do not know Portuguese, so I did not know what the words mean, but I decided to get the CD anyway, because I liked the beat and the music reminded me of the alternative rock I listen to at home. Upon buying the CD, I found that most of the tracks are good (some are great for driving to; they give a good adrenaline rush) and even though some are not, the CD was still a good buy.
