5.0 out of 5 stars Basia is fabulous., October 22, 1999

This review is from: 3 Pak: Time & Tide / London Warsaw / Sweetest (Audio CD)

I never get tired of listening. I play her CD's periodically and am filled with the same sense of pleasure as when I first discovered her music. I keep waiting for more.

This review is from: 3 Pak: Time & Tide / London Warsaw / Sweetest (Audio CD)

When I first heard the melodies emanating from my radio back in the late 1980's that eventually became associated with Basia, I thought I had died and gone to Richard Rogers/Leroy Anderson/Tom Jobim Jazz/Broadway/Latin rock Heaven (if there is such a convoluted place!)This collection of three of her five albums (and don't forget Danny White's input!) will satisfy the curious but fail to fulfill the devoted who know there is more out there, thus failing to complete the picture. Still, since this collection is made available it propels the hope to the surface held by ALL Basia afficianados that the market exists for more product, and that someday SOON she and Danny will again collaborate for a new album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Basia defined., August 5, 1998

This review is from: 3 Pak: Time & Tide / London Warsaw / Sweetest (Audio CD)

Basia, since releasing her original album 'Time and Tide' along with co-collaborator, Danny White, has managed to incorporate latin finger-tapping rhythms and inventive orchestrations with a genuinely pleasurable vocal technique. This collection is the crux of those elements. While her style tends toward Samba, she modulates her lyrics with a heavy emphasis on difficult subject matter. Whether paying homage to famed chanteuse Astrud Gilberto ("Astrud"), explaining the poor timing of an affair ("Cruising for Bruising"), or merely reveling in amorous exuberance ("Baby You're Mine"), Basia shines. The brillance of the harmonies--accentuated by talented musical breaks on White's part--sets her music apart. Truly an accomplished artist, Basia is certainly to become only more popular among her limited, but devoted audience.
