4.0 out of 5 stars Good Tunes But Check the Track Listing
I dig this release but do NOT go by the track listing with this release. This is actually a 12 track cd which features the artists in the Amazon mini-review that's below the track listing. If not for another site where I first saw this CD, I would have been upset. Here is the real track listing and order:

Victor Davies: Better Place (Afro Gigolo Mix)
Soul Quality...

3.0 out of 5 stars Nu Bossa - Not the Same as the Old Bossa :-)
This is a fine collection of Nu Bossa/Latin Tinged Trip Hop or
Bossa Trip Hop Acid Jazz - just don't confuse it with the Bossa Nova most people know so well.

And yes, there are only 12 tracks.

I dig this release but do NOT go by the track listing with this release. This is actually a 12 track cd which features the artists in the Amazon mini-review that's below the track listing. If not for another site where I first saw this CD, I would have been upset. Here is the real track listing and order:

Victor Davies: Better Place (Afro Gigolo Mix)
Soul Quality Quartet: Toda Tersafeira (Jazzanova Rework)
A Forest Mighty Black: Sunday City Sequence
New Sector Movements: Vooga Vonge
Rollercone: Me Gusta
Tim Hutton: Colours (Freformfivemix)
Suba: Felicidade (Juryman Mix)
Minus 8: Elysian Fields
Fauna Flash: Tel Aviv
Precyz: Commanche
Soul Drummers: Space and Time
Dr Drak: Brazylou

This is a pretty good compilation of nu-bossa tunes, breaks and beats by mostly European DJ's and producers. This has a VERY heavy Compost Records feel. Original acts from Compost feature Fauna Flash, A Forest Mighty Black (Rainer Truby/Fauna Flash) and Minus 8 along with a Jazzanova remix. The Compost cuts are probably the highlight - Jazzanova's rare remake of Soul Quality's Quartet's track is great. There's also a remake to Jorge Ben's classic "Camanche" really grew on me - especially the intro. It won't make you forget the original, but it's got its own, unique charm. Tim Hutton and Victor Davies also appear and a cool & sexy remix to a Suba track is present, along with a few other cool cuts.

I HIGHLY recommend this. Especially if you're a fan of Rainer Truby's "Glucklich" compilation series. This could almsot be a companion piece to "Glucklich V", as they were both released in the same year and have a VERY similar vibe. The track selection is consistent and the tunes are quality. Pick it up! And of course if you enjoy it, check out: the Glucklich series, Faze Action's "Pure Braziliance", Jazzanova's remixes 1997-2000, Suba and The Bossa Tres... Jazz (Bossa Mundo) series.
