5.0 out of 5 stars Listening enjoyment in the age of stupor., November 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: OUTRO LADO (Audio CD)

A wonderful album, recommended to anyone - from romantic teen-girls to cynical marginals. Expertly made - with groovy d'n'b passages and special efx it is also very eclectic. Even the wide concept of Easy Listening is somehow small for it. Though including real lounge hits, it becomes pretty extreme at certain points, and the Lambada-like vocals of the lead-singer spice the whole thing up, making it sexy, passionate, and alive - something many of contemporary music lacks.

This review is from: Outro Lado (Audio CD)

I bought Outro Lado solely because I'd heard the title song on a net radio station and couldn't get enough of it. It's got a hypnotic sexy beat that makes me want to find someone to groove with. Upon first listen, I was disappointed that the slower tunes alternated with kind of hyper, a-little-too-electronic songs like #2 Brazilectro and #4 Zabumba No Mar - which always makes it hard to maintain any particular mood and that might annoy some of my higher strung company.

The dreamy songs remind me of Nightmares on Wax's Carboot Soul. Very provocative and sensual. And then there are a couple of more traditionally composed Brazilian tunes some with a more batucada beat. If you like any of the music I've mentioned, I highly recommend checking them out. If anything, Outro Lado is an all around great dance party CD.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant Sounds, But Nothing Really New Here, April 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Outro Lado (Audio CD)

I have nothing bad to say about this cd except that I was disappointed in its musical offering. This is nice, middle of the road, Brazilian music, that makes me want to hear the really great stuff, like Milton Nascimento, Dom Um Romao, Baden Powell. The singer is very pleasant and the lyrics, thank you 6 Degrees for publishing the translations, which you didn't do for the great Suba:Sao Paolo Confessions, are very unusual on some of the songs. But, there is really no new ground broken here. It is very nice, relaxing music that many people will probably enjoy, but, it is not memorable as the above mentioned artists are and the great Suba release which I think is a gem!
