5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Ignore Me!, January 14, 2000
This review is from: Subtle Body (Audio CD)
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

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
This review is from: Subtle Body (Audio CD)
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars muy, pero muy bueno, May 10, 2000
By 
This review is from: Subtle Body (Audio CD)
De haber más opciones al clasificar un disco yo le pondría a este cuatro estrellas y media. Se nota inmediatamente que este disco es un trabajo preparatorio de Mundo Civilizado. Los temas se escuchan bastante parecidos pero tal vez no tan sofisticados, aún cuando el personal es más versátil que en en el trabajo posterior. De hecho, desde ese punto de vista, es disco es prometedoramente una gran bomba; participan el él gente como Brian Eno, Joey Baron (baterista de Zorn y Bowie), Bill Frisell (guitarrista de Naked City), los grandes percusionistas Ciro baptista y Nana Vasconcelos, Marc Ribot (guitarrista de Tom Waits), y hasta Towa Tai (Dee Lite). En fin, se nota en el disco un buen trabajo de producción. Los temas son supremos y finos aunque no tan asentados como en Mundo Civilizado, donde el bosanova encuentra un equilibrio perfecto y a la vez extraño con la música electrónica y gracias a la ayuda de DJ Spooky -aquí se encuentran sólo esbozos de ello. Aún así destacan perfectamente temas como "Este seu olhar" -que por cierto es un cover a un tema de Jobim-, y la romántica "No meu sotaque".
