Solid Double Disc Set of Un-Mixed Cuts.......2006-06-17

That's a mouthful! This is a series done out of the UK on Union Square Music. Kudos to them for having some pretty neat packaging and concepts! Between Barcelona Files, Sao Paulo Connection, The Paris Connection, etc. you've got a pretty decent array of tunes. It's not necessarily the most original of concepts (Frequent Flyer did something similar, but their anti-piracy bit turned me off) but they make up for it by giving it a bit of a theme.

Disc one starts out with Clara Moreno's (daughter of Joyce) acoustic laden "When You Gonna Learn", a track sung in English! It's a pretty good intro, not what you'd expect. It's followed up with the live version of Suba's "Sereia", sang by Cibelle, followed up by Buscemi's incredibly cool "Midnight Sessions". I love spinning that cut, the way it closes is nice. Sandboy's "Viver", remixed by Butti 49 has a neat and classy vibe to it too. Other cuts from CD 1 that stand out are Fernanda Porto's De Costas Pro Mundo, Zuco 103's "Treasure", and Avil FX's "Seja O Que For"... to name only a few.

CD2 is a bit more upbeat, kicking in with Chieko Kinbara & Liliana Chachian (of Da Lata fame) with "A Espera". I always liked her spirited voice, though the cut seems like something out of a soundtrack. Tom & Joyce's "Queixume" is featured here and I love the energy in the song - the live instrumentation and feel will pick you up. But a correction, I don't believe this is really the Master At Work edit - that one's got a bit more electronic in the beat and a saucier bass-line altogether; especially on the extended 12". Another neat bossa is Mitchell & Dewbury's "Beyond the Rains", pretty neat song with a classic bossa jinga... it actually reminds me of a cut off of a Japanese bossa album (can't remember it... darn). I also dug Riovolt's version of "O Ronco Da Cuica", Lonesome Echo's "No Colo Do Mar" and a fe other cuts from disc two also.

All in all, this was a pretty god double disc set of tunes. It's unmixed and has some sweet electronic cuts. You won't find too many of the classics here, but yo uwill have a few of the classic artists participate (Joyce, Marcos Valle, Joao Donato). The only drawback was that I didn' really fall for all of the songs - I felt that some of the electronic on disc two was redundant and filler, and of course after a few years (this was out in 2004), there have been several other compilations that feature many of the songs featured here. But if you don't have the Brazilectro's (or even if you do - not a lot of cross-over on this with any of the Brazilectros), the Nova Latinos, Brazilutions, Rio Lounges, Caipirinha Mix's or Latino Cafe's, this is a good pick-up.
