4.0 out of 5 stars Not Classic Sergio Mendes, but still GOOD, June 11, 2001

By	Tony Daughtry "eewhiz" (Lawrenceville, GA USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this CD because I am a BIG fan of Sergio M and Brasil '65, '66 and '77. This is the NEW '77 with pretty much a whole new cast and somewhat of a new sound. The remnants of Bossa Nova are buried in this release...The cut "Real Thing" was a favorite of mine when it received air-play on the radio (back in 1978!)... I still prefer the sound of the original Brasil '77, however the only way to get their music is through collector's or on auction sites...I still recommend this release, but prefer the older '66/'77 sound...if you want to complete your collection, then definitely buy it! The sound quality is excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars New Brasil '77, February 18, 2000

By	Lydia Wehrli (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't say enough about this music! It just makes me smile big - the beat, the instruments, the vocalists - it is just a WONDERFUL compilation of some of Sergio Mendes' BEST songs. I think that he was always ahead of his time and even though this album was originally done in the '70s, the sound is still great today. I especially like, well, I was going to list which ones I liked best and I like them all. I had not heard this album in over 4 years and was able to pick up most of the words to the songs and start singing them! It is just a real feel good CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as it gets, May 22, 2001

This is an extraordinary work by Sergio. His melodies and rhythms are unexcelled. This, for my money, is his best collection although I find no fault in any of his other works.
