Excellent musicians on this Palmieri album.......2005-03-05

This album features excellent trumpet solos by Victor Paz and the always powerful trombone playing of Barry Rogers. Add to the mix the solid and steady percussion of Nicky Marrero on timbales, Eladio Perez on conga, and Tommy "Chuckie" Lopez on bongo. Eddie also takes some killer solos, as usual.

Still the Sun.......2002-06-25

Eddie Palmieri is one of my favorite musicians of all time. His ability to blend traditional afro-Cuban rythms and traditional is jazz is brilliant. All of the cuts on this album are great and deserve great admiration from any Latin jazz fan. I highly recommend it to all.

Palmieri still king.......2002-06-22

Eddie Palmieri, a pioneer of Latin Jazz is at his best on this work. This is one of his original works and I still love it. His Afro-Cuban roots are more apparent than ever on this work. A must have for any Latin Jazz fan, or anyone who just wants to groove.

Eddie Palmieri: poderoso senor del piano.......2001-11-23

Eddie Palmieri is Eddie palmieri is Eddie Palmieri. The Lord. The Piano Man. The orchesta riffs, the sweaty and hell-fast bongo player (his name's Choki). The singer. Pardon me: the sirene-wailing singer. Lalo Rodriguez "la trepa en la China" (an expression for salsa climaxes). This CD is a classic. Well, it won a Grammy!

Eddie's new begining.......2000-11-20

This is Eddie's first post "La Perfecta Orchestra" days where Eddie uses an unusually large and variable brass section; trumpets,t-bones, saxs, tubas, flutes and french horns. That and his great rhythm section provides excellent tumbaos and marvelous solos. The 16 year old Lalo Rodriguez really show the salsa world he was here to stay. Eddie's "Nada de ti" has to be one of the greatest salsa songs ever recorded. Everybody gets down on this one. This is without question one of Eddie's five best recordings.

The hypnotic rhythms of Aztec drums and hautning sounds of Mesoamerican wind instruments blend with the seven voice of SAVAE in this companior recording to their bestselling "Guadalupe: Virgen de Los Indios." The music, dating from the mid-16th century reflects the unprecedentd vangelization that occurred as result of the appearance of the Virgin Mary to the Nahua Inidan Juan Dieo in 1531.

SAVAE IS A HIDDEN TREASURE.......2005-08-09

I did not know much about SAVAE or this recording until I attended the annual conference of the Hymn Society of the US and Canada, which met in San Antonio, TX this year. There, I had the wonderful experience of a workshop with several members of SAVAE, in which we sang and clapped the complex melodies and rhythms of the music, and were introduced to some of the indigenous language, as well as the various drums, stones and flutes they used for accompaniment. Later in the conference, we (some 300 of us) were treated to a sublime concert, which included some of the pieces on this recording. We also got to sight-read three pieces from their upcoming CD of Christmas music from the same era. I don't think they had ever performed before so larga and appreciative an audience. This group deserves to be discovered by lovers of Early Music everywhere!

Culturally pleasing..........2003-06-19

In the album, El Milagro de Guadalupe, SAVAE clearly demonstrate their ability to cross-cultures and to unite or fuse the commonalities without difficulty. The sacred music somehow seems so much more holy in this context. The vocalists are quite talented singers and linguists. Overall a very pleasant cd and would recommend it to others.

Let tell you something..........2002-06-14

This is not what I think that
the Spaniards would wanted done,
in actual practice. This is all
sacred music all performed on
native aztec instruments, not
a single significant part for
convetional European instrument.
In most poor congregation in colonial
Latin-America, there would at least
be an organ, or a gitar, in the poorest
congregations, if an organ was out
of the question, a pair of recorders
would do just fine for church services.
There are better versions out there of
colonial Latin-American music.

Unbelievable.......2001-11-09

I was given this CD as a gift and I must say that it is the most incredible thing I have ever heard. There is something about it's "earthyness" that attracts my friends and I to it. I hope that SAVAE is around for a long time and that they keep blessing the world with their music.

Modern Aztec Interpretations.......2000-11-02

The music on this CD is in a word, ethereal. Beautiful choral music fused with Aztec instruments for a listening experience to not be forgotten nor matched in sheer beauty. The Nahuatl language is a joy to the ears, it speaks in whispers of a time long forgotten. The playing of indigenous Aztec instruments transports the listeners to another time period, a time without cars and planes, and the hectic schedules associated with modern times. Put this CD on and relax, it is hauntingly beautiful. The songs are all superb, inspiring one to transend the mundane to elevate to a higher plane. I don't know about 6+5+4 beats but I do know that the complex rhythmns astound the soul. The inspiration for this CD is La Virgen de Guadalupe and her grace must have bestowed supernatural powers on this recording because it is excellent. If you know of any devotees of La Virgen de Guadalupe this is an excellent choice to give them. The music is so different from anything you may have heard before. A revival of Aztec music, by a superb group of choral singers and musicians that is breathtaking. Put this CD on to listen to your inner sanctum, you might like what you hear, it is music for your soul. A real jewel, file this under inspiration.

One of my favorites.......2003-05-26

The first time I heard of Mo Horizon's was when I heard the track "Foto Viva" on Thievery Corporation's compilation "Eighteenth Street Lounge Jet Society". It was dark, seductive and had a sort of groove that you could just totally unwind to while sipping a drink with a beautiful lady. After hearing it, I was curious about the band, checked out a few of their cuts while picking up different compilations and finally went for their feature release.

This is a very good album. It's a bit of jazz, great beats and for that special flair, you add Brazilian vibes into the mix to get "Come Touch the Sun". Most of the tracks on this CD are pretty smooth and neat - you have to have this for the full version of "Fly Away", and of course you'll recognize "Prince Charles Latest Affair" if you're a Brazilectro fan. And if you've seen a recent Kia (automobile) commercial, you'll recognize the familiar background mix from "Yes Baby Yes".

I highly recommend this album. It's a great addition to my collection and while it does have it's flaws (some tracks just don't do it for me - and I don't like the end of Foto Viva with the alarm clock) it more than makes up for it in general quality. Likewise, if you're a fan of this definitely look into ESL Jet Society as mentioned before, look at "More Psycodelico" by Reminiscence Quartet, and they do have another album. But IMO, the second album isn't as strong as this one is. Finally - their label is Stereo Deluxe - who showcases them on their compilation series titled "Basic Instinct".

Weightless.......2003-02-27

I have just finished the 5th song on the CD. By now my body is weightless and Im floating around my small universe, Incense flowing through my hair. One hand straight out and one bent, keeping time to the downbeats and my eyes are closed..and I'm seeing the future of this life...straight out in front of me. I am no longer "ego".

Buy this CD. This surpasses even Baby Mammoth. And thats a mouthfull.

This CD kicks. Buy it. Buy it today. Buy it NOW. Of 30 or so lounge CD's I have, this takes me out of my chair effortlessly. This makes me ...something...I never thought was there. This is the sound of the world turning.

This music always puts me in a good mood........2002-07-19

This was recommended to me because of some Theivery Corporation CD's I bought a while back and I can honestly say I like this album as much as any of my TC records.

Come Touch the Sun provides the perfect variety of jazz sounds. A great CD for driving or just chilling around the house. I especially like 'foto viva' talk about smooth! Wow! Would highly recommend.

Fresh, jazzy, full of infectious rhythm and shimmering beats.......2001-01-26

"For your pleasure, I created...a dream."

That's how the last track (Flying Away) begins, in a jazzy-cool, restrained voice that cannot hide the Portuguese embers smoldering underneath. Close your eyes, and picture yourself as James Bond flying to Brazil at midnight, with this voice whispering in your ear. I could swear I heard this song before on some 60s Brazilian jazz album...but, like most of the other songs, it was written by the two German masterminds behind Mo' Horizons. Talk about breaking a stereotype: you would never guess that these guys weren't born in Cuba and raised in Rio.

Touch the Sun was not at all what I expected...every surprise was a good one. DJs Ralf Droesmeyer and Foh Wetzler stir electronic beats that sound engineered by BMW, into a melange of brassy funk, South American and African rhythms, latin and acid jazz, bossa nova bongos, stunning and sultry vocals, breathy flutes, jungley dub, and more. Then they somehow slip it all into a downbeat wrapper that is as sleek, smooth, energizing, and exotic as the dress Marilyn Monroe wore to sing Happy Birthday to President Kennedy.

For your pleasure, Mo' Horizons has created...a dream.

Great CD.......2000-06-21

This is a great album. It was listed in my record store under Trip-hop. I think it speaks for itself. They have a great sounds and the album flows really well. I would highly recommend it for a dance party or just chillin.

A DAMN GOOD SONG!.......2005-11-05

In 1971 George Harrison got the ball rolling with the Concert for Bangladesh and, over time other artists lent their talent for causes as well. Sun City, a delightfully militant, serious, cutting edge and probably the grittiest, most spirited effort kicked off the summer of 1985.

Although I never liked the song "We Are the World," I fully supported the artists and rationale behind it. I didn't like that one because I felt the melody was maudlin and I didn't like the way it made me feel.

"Sun City" on the other hand is in-your-face politics and a rallying cry and banners being waved. It is a demand for the end of Apartheid in South Africa and a refusal to play venues that support Apartheid beliefs. Apartheid was notorious for the white-minority government, which was established in 1948. A myriad of talented artists including Little Steven, Ruben Blades, Bruce Springstein, Ringo Starr, Pete Townshend and many others poke their finger in the Apartheid eye with this in your face, militant anti-war and pro-humanitarian rights cry. This is a very serious, intense song that will make you want to dance as well! It will certainly arouse your social conscience!

The three versions of this wonderful song all stay true to the core melody. There are variations in the lyrics and one version alternates with verses of "we are the world," which I don't feel is as good as the other versions of this intensely stellar song.

Be sure to check out "No More Apartheid." Peter Gabriel's strong vocals ring out deep and pure and the message could not be made plainer. "Revolutionary Situation," is a musical montage replete with news clips; excerpts from songs and other revolutionary anthems. You can also hear police dogs barking, which brings to mind the Jim Crow southern United States during the Civil Rights era. "I am an Afrikaaner" brings home the message of terrorism and oppression under the Apartheid regime.

"Let Me See Your ID" is an outraged outcry agains the oppressive regime. Miles Davis' impressive trumpet playing underscores just how serious a matter this really is.


"Silver & Gold" is a hard, cutting edge piece about mining in South Africa at the expense of people. Bono lends his voice to this one along with Rolling Stones Keith Richards & Ron Wood. You can hear and feel the anger, so palpable in this song as to gain a better understanding of the issues this is about.

Sun City was more specific and more focused in its effort to call attention to social ills and injustices. Other efforts, such as Live Aid, Band Aid and USA For Africa as well as Farm Aid were much more global. Sun City is the demand for the release of Nelson Mandela and the UN boycott of South Africa.

In 1990, Mandela was finally released from prison and became President of South Africa, the first black person to hold this office. (Kind of reminds you of 1989, when Lech Walesa, a shipyard worker who was jailed in the 1980s for his direct involvement in Solidarity and the push for reforms on the shipyards; in the factories and in government. On June 4, 1989, Lech Walesa proudly voted in a free Polish Election, the first held since the end of WWII and was elected as leader of Poland)!

Music does have power to change the world. Go out there and listen to this one and it will certainly motivate you!

I AINT GONNA PLAY SUN CITY!!!!!.......2004-09-20

I LIKE THIS SONG AND THE MUSIC VIDEO IS NICE ALSO. THE VIDEO HAS EDDIE KENDRICKS, DAVID RUFFIN, NONA HENDRIX, AND MANY MORE ARTISTS I LIKE THIS SONG IT IS JUST A JAMMING SONG I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS ABOUT WHEN I WAS A KID. THIS SONG IS ABOUT ARTISTS AGAINST APARTHEID. I LIKE THIS SONG AND I ENJOY IT.
I AINT GONNA PLAY SUN CITY.

We ain't gonna play Sun City!.......2004-02-03

The Concert for Bangladesh may have been the start of benefit albums, and for a worthy cause. Sun City though, was the most militant, and demonstrated that rock and roll was about rebellion, not the Twisted Sister "We're Gonna Take It" or the whiny punk rock "I don't wanna..." attitude, but about social protest. The Sun City album took on the humanitarian crimes (read human rights violations, lack of voting rights, "relocation to phony homelands") committed by the white-minority government of South Africa from 1948, when the policy of apartheid (rhymes with both white and hate) was first introduced. Steve Van Zandt, late of the E Street Band and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, produced and organized this indictment of the totalitarian regime. The title refers to a whites-only "Vegas in the desert" entertainment resort symbolizing the privileges of the white minority.

There are three versions of the title song, of which the opening track is the original. "Rockers and rappers united and strong" take turns singing the verses a la We Are The World, condemning Reagan's "quiet diplomacy" and phony homelands like Bophuthatswana. Pete Townshend's guitar, Ringo Starr's drums, Clarence Clemons' saxophone, and Miles Davis's trumpet contribute to the backing instrumentation.

The droning guitar and Peter Gabriel's wailing vocals form "No More Apartheid." That is followed by "Revolutionary Situation," a collage of music, bits of audio from press statements, and other revolutionary anthems compiled and edited by Keith LeBlanc and the News Dissector. Sounds of barking police dogs, protesters calling for both peace and violence, audio bits from Nelson Mandela, Piet Botha, and Ronald Reagan are put together. The ominous voice of "I am an Afrikaaner" demonstrates the powerful aura of oppression dominating the country.

The alternately energetic and laid back "Let Me See Your ID" is a series of righteously enraged raps, with even Peter Wolf and Midnight Oil's Peter Garrett contributing, with some musing, biting ironic commentary by Gil Scott-Heron, such as getting vocabulary from the media, such as Third World or casualties. On the latter, he says "nothing casual about dying, nothing casual about standing for freedom". Miles's magical trumpet-playing can be heard.

The instrumental jam "The Struggle Continues" was the first time I heard Miles Davis and this fits squarely in his post-fusion era, with support from drummer Sonny Okosuns, guitarist Stanley Jordan and keyboardist Herbie Hancock, whose instrumental solo bit is a highlight the same as Davis's trumpet was in the beginning moment of the jam.

"Silver And Gold" began life here before its inclusion on Rattle And Hum. Bono sings here without U2, aided by Rolling Stones Keith Richards and Ron Wood, about mining the above metals. The U2 frontman's voice becomes a barely contained whisper in parts, intense angst and anger in other places.

While benefit group collaborations like Band Aid, Live Aid, and USA For Africa, formed the basis of mass culture, the global village, and cultural crossover in a corporately-sponsored world, Sun City was more serious in its intent, calling for the release of Nelson Mandela and supporting the UN-sponsored cultural boycott of South Africa. Eventually, in 1990, five years after the Sun City album, Mandela was freed and became South Africa's first black African president, and I can't help thinking that Steve Van Zandt and the musicians here had a hand in that.

A milestone.......2000-08-08

Sun City is a testament to what people can do. Not only is it a GREAT song, it was for a GREAT cause.

This CD is full of *Hits*,*Rarities* & *Classic Tracks like "Light my Fire","Feliz Navidad" and "Chico and the Man",etc. from 1965-1975 as it says on the cover.

Samba Solstice is flawless, from concept to execution, taking delight in the seemingly limitless boundaries of jazz.

As a composer, Montarroyos combines classical and jazz influences with Brazilian folk music, and African rhythms to create a masterful synthesis of big band energy and small group intimacy. His relentless creativity ensures that the compositions and arrangements are fresh and completely original.

Progressive, uplifting melodic fine music........2000-12-10

To those of you that have a convertible or a sports car that pegs the needle at over one hundred miles an hour this CD is NOT for you! This music is energizing music that will take your cares away in a wash of sunshine and salty air; thereby distracting you. The music contains the obscure yet beautiful intonations of the Berimbau and the fine fluglehorn of Mr. Montarroyos. [Why he isn't recorded more is beyond me]. Favorite cuts are all 67min. and 47sec. of them. Please purchase this CD.

Album Description

The Brazilian jazz-rock band, Azymuth, is noted for its infectious blend of bossa nova melodies, hot samba rhythms, a splash of funk, and a dash of rock and roll. On Black Sun's reissue of Outubro, it proves to be a winning combination. This spirited ensemble tackles everything from the Flora Purim/Stanley Clarke classic, Light As A Feather (live version), to the electric energy of 500 Miles High, made famous by Chick Corea, to a host of spicy originals by Azymuth leader Jose Roberto Bertrami.

Throughout Outubro, the musicians travel a fine line between technical innovation and the acoustic fury of their Brazilian heritage. Each member of this multi-faceted trio plays a vast array of South American percussion instruments with passion and precision. Synthesizers, vocoders, guitars, and electric bass add fuel to the fire, making it virtually impossible to sit still while listening to the recording. This music is irresistible; it makes you want to get up and dance. Black Sun's new version of the album also includes six additional cuts recorded live at Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Palace, illustrating why Azymuth's early concert tours of the United States in the late 70s solidified the band's recording career.

This is my all time favorite by Azymuth.......2007-06-11

I recently purchased this cd a couple of months ago because I previously had on vinyl. I had almost forgotten how special Outubro was to me. Everything including the live portion of this disc is acoustically correct. I also had also bought Telecommunication again on disc a few years back. Since ordering Outubro, I've purchased at least 3 more Azymuth cd's. Everyone that I've played Outubro for has fallen under the spell of Azymuth. This Supergroup is truly unique and amazing. You must also check out the bassists(Alex Malheiros) daughter Sabrina Malheiros's new cd. Her debut solo cd is simply superb! I can't wait for her next effort and would love to see her tour here in the states.

Samba Fusion - Si,Si,Si...!!!.......2006-12-31

Latin rhythms combined with jazz improvisation has provided the world with some of the most engaging and passionate music that has ever existed; and this bonus release version of the 'Outubro' album by Brazilian fusion group Azymuth is an outstanding example of all the facets of what makes this kind of music cross-culturally appealing and extremely enjoyable to listen to - and dance to. It may seem odd to some listeners that jazz - flavored music could be characterized as "danceable" - but; in fact - the samba rhythms; like Cuban salsa and the Spanish cumbias are indeed meant for celebration. And in the music of stellar Brazilian musicians such as Jose Roberto Bertrami, Alex Malheiros and Ivan Conti you will find a lot to dance to and listen to! My brother and I first discovered this band when we began delving into other types of music during the latter half of the 1970's and early 1980's when so-called jazz fusion music was just beginning to gain notoriety and popular acceptance. We enjoyed having and knowing about fresh things that not everyone was immediately open to. And we have our mom to thank for thoroughly supporting our musical interests from the time when we were still youngsters. Her love for good music probably is what moved both of us toward eventually becoming involved in music-related careers(I went into entertainment electronics, staging, live music production and recording studio engineering after a brief stint of playing drums and singing; while he veered towards deejaying; music programming and broadcasting - working in dance clubs and the radio industry). We were always reading the liner notes and album cover information to learn more about the artists who made the music we enjoyed so much; and these guys have continually ranked among our many favorite 'discoveries'. The original release of the 'Outubro' album, on vinyl; was monumental for both of us(he kept our original copy and I repurchased it again on wax after I moved out to the West Coast - before I found the compact disc version)and now the cycle is complete with this re-release of the special Black Sun CD(with bonus 'live' tracks)once again being available(there were only limited copies when it was first issued back in 1983/84). I grabbed a CD copy without hesitation when it was still over 25 dollars per unit and now I've ordered it for him as well. If you can get your hands on the CD version; you will have something truly special! I have heard other deejays who program Azymuth's songs into their music sets and it's always a 'hit' with the crowds! Other reviewers have already commented on the specifics of the songs of this album and their appeal - there is nothing more to add other than just giving the affirmative 'nod' of agreement - this simply is great music by great artists!!

Awesome Brazilian Rhythms and Brazilian Funky Jazz !!!!!.......2002-04-13

The Editorial Review has actually said it all about this fantastic group and album; I'm just adding my tiny contribution to an immense project. This is one of Azymuth's first albums back in 79-80 and still sounds as fresh, imaginative and skilfull as any contemporary album in the same category. The best cuts are: Dear Limmertz, Un Amigo (A Friend), Partido Alto (High Game), and Fly Over the Horizon. If you like Brazilian rhythmic music and Funky Jazz, this is without a doubt a perfect album for you.!!!

Excellent Fusion.......2000-01-31

I bought this album when it was originally released in 1980, and still sounds fresh 20 years later. Mixing traditional Brazilian samba with jazz fusion, Outubro(October for those who don't speak Portugeuse) is one of Azymuth's best albums. The extremely funky "Dear Limmertz" is worth the price of admission alone. Plus this CD reissue contains previously unreleased live tracks to make this already great album even better.
