This is a beautiful album for the melancholy summer nights and spring evenings.. Beautiful album by a great lyricist. I highly recommend

And it's not just plain bossa nova. There's a bit 'o scamp to his music that shows up here and there in some songs. When I want to hear something that's both soothing and yet not sappy or mass market poppy, this is what I go to along with his other three great CDs: Subtle Body, Prize and Invoke, in that order. Unfortunately, I have not heard Mundo Civilizado which, based on reviews, fits right in with this category nor have I heard Salt which may not belong in this group.

If you know Arto Lindsay from being in DNA this is the opposite end of the musical spectrum from that grating guitar, I'd say exciting music of the last 70's, early 80's. This is for high quality relaxing of the mind. His voice is so perfect for this style of music, it's half of what's best about these records. The other half is the classic bossa nova style that's never stuffy or sounding like it's from a 50's record (not that that's a bad thing). chrisbct@hotmail.com

His small voice and powerfully rythmic sound reminds one of a pocket protector nerd who has stepped out from behind Windows to express his sexual frustration with acoustic guitars, conga, cymbals, Turkish drums, trombone, trumpet and more. For someone who wants to hear something powerfully different and doesn't mind a little noise.
