4.0 out of 5 stars A Redefined Pato Fu, May 14, 2001

By	Rowie (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

In the tradition of Brazilian music, Samba and Bossa Nova was the sound the world associated to Brazil. Over the years, plenty of Brazilian bands have retain their culture, while combining a more appealing rock n' roll sound mainstream to radio and television. One band that has discovered the ability to go beyond traditions is Pato Fu.

From Punk to Pop, Pato Fu has redefined their sound over the years. On their fifth album "Isopor", band members Feranda Takai, John, Ricardo Koctus and Xande Tamietti, combine a mixture of drumbeats, guitar riffs and electronic techniques. In all efforts, it puts this album in a new realm of maturity. The first song "Made in Japan" has similarities to Pizzicato Five's, "Made in USA" album. In fact, front woman Fernanda Takai struts her vocals with a mixture of Japanese and Portuguese.

Throughout the album, a listener can expect down-tempo to upbeat songs sung in Portuguese by Fernanda Takai and John. Some electronica samples include, "Made in Japan", "Isopor" and "Sauadade". Though the album isn't strictly elctronica, anticipate catchy tunes to overplay in your ears. These songs include, Perdendo Dentes", "Depois", and "O Prato do Dia".

Last, if you pick up a copy of this album, expect goodies. An interactive CD, combined with live footage of concerts and step-by-step guitar chords to a few songs, including "Perdendo Dentes". Its a must have for new and old fans!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bom Demais!, February 12, 2001

By	Satchelito (Palo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews

This is a great album. I think "Perdendo Dentes" is great, and I also love "Depois". I also loved their album Televisao de Cachorro, which I discovered during a trip to Brazil in '99. Fernanda's vocals are always incredible, and their bouncy, fun but beautiful style is definitely in between categories. You can also hear their American influences. On one track on "Televisao de Cachorro", you can hear the The Cure's opening riff from "In Between Days".

5.0 out of 5 stars Isopor is the best album of Pato Fu..., April 26, 2001

"Made In Japan" is the first song of this album. Actually, this album is not from Japan (of course) but this song is played in Japanese by Fernanda Takai... Really Great Music!!! The whole album is full of great rock-pop, and If you does not intend to buy it, you are missing it!!!
