5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Ignore Me!, January 14, 2000

By	karl koopmann (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

I know, I know, "Mundo Civilizado", "Prize", blah, blah, blah. Do get this one too, particularly if you are fond of Lindsay's bossa-flavored ballads; I fell in love with it immediately. (Now that I think of it, this album must certainly have come as a shock after Ambitious Lovers.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Alt-Brazilian, December 28, 2007

By	Andrew D. Rohn (Madison, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One of my all-time favorites. Jazzy chords, weird experimental production, brazilian percussion, and Arto Lindsay's mysterious voice and enigmatic lyrics. Perfect late night listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars His first all 'Brazilian' album...!, November 15, 2002

By	Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Brazilian-born, New York-based bossa nova pioneer Arto Lindsay is a marvel. This is the first full excursion into his gorgeous novo bossa nova sound, which builds on earlier work with the Ambitious Lovers, etc. In retrospect, it's interesting to see how much more rooted in "indie" rock this is than later releases -- fans of bands such as Cowboy Junkies, Red House Painters or American Music Club might enjoy this, too. Although not as sensual and lulling as later releases, the Brazilian influence is profound, with a cover of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Este Seu Olhar" and several songs co-written by Vinicius Cantuaria (who also plays guitar throughout). Other guest performers include Brian Eno, Nana Vasconcelos, Cyro Baptista, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Bill Frisell, and Yuka Honda, of Cibo Mato fame. The results of their collaboriation are quite nice... Recommended!
