Editorial Reviews

Ten of Pink Floyd's most famous songs get the Bossa Nova treatment courtesy of Holly Wilson. If the band had originated in Brazil instead of England, perhaps their classics would have sounded like this! Tracks include 'Another Brick In The Wall', 'Money', 'Wish You Were Here', 'Brain Damage' and more. Barca. 2006.

I was recently in Lima Peru visiting family and friends, and went to Mangos and heard this very unusual elevator music playing in the background. Couldn't believe it was Pink Floyd. Reminded me of similar projects, like "Yes and Friends." Very interesting to see those hard core rock tunes being mellowed and smoothed by major and minor sevens, and yet faithful to the original compositions. I enjoyed this project. I've been a Pink Floyd fan for many years, and I also love to play bossa nova guitar. I never thought I could get away with so much. Thank God for humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars another take on floyd, December 3, 2007

I just love this reworked remodelled floyd. It does drive some people who hear it nuts, which for me is a bonus. The mixture of the familiar and the new, shoehorning the floyd's measured beats into unfamiliar rhythms and instrumentation, is exquisite. Then there's the breathy sensuous female vocal instead of the macho prog rockers originals. The music just turns me on.
