4 out of 5 stars Kudos to you Gilles Peterson.......2007-03-17

I have to admit that I have a great deal of respect for Gilles Peterson as a DJ. Which is funny because I've never been to one of his shows (I had the opportunity to see him in Tokyo for New Years which I opted out of due to expenses. Not too bad since I got to see Ken Ishii rip it up instead). However, based on the Brazil Podcasts coming off his website, I was overwelmingly impressed his knowledge of music and love of music in general. Like Mr. Scruff, he seems less worried about overtechnicallities or mixing and just about amazing track selection. Which has influenced me to take chances in my DJ sets and be more adventurous with my sets. While this this is the only Peterson collection I have, I have to say I am impressed with it exposed me to even more music, making me the most annoying person in all of Niigata, Japan to talk about music with.

I'm definitely more in love with the first disc. I absolutely love that old Brazil sound and this CD is loaded to the gills with, favorites include Jorge Ben and a beautiful cover of California Soul. It covers the wide range of Brazil's sound (funk, soul, salsa etc.). The second disc has no shortage of hits too. Exploring a more modern Brazilian sound, it contains tracks from original Brazilian and influenced artists but with the dancefloor squarely in mind.

While I wouldn't mind hearing what this album might sound mixed, the unmixed presentation is a pleasure and allows for complete digestion of all of these songs, which there is neary a miss on here (though some of the tracks may not to be your liking). I recommend this album to anyone looking to expand their tastes into some South American territory, Wax Poetic readers, and jazz/soul/funk fans.

4 out of 5 stars Not as great as the first one, but still more than worth your time.......2007-01-18

Is there such a thing as a dud Gilles Peterson compilation? Nope.

BACK IN BRAZIL's first disc is another amazing collection of classic and rare Brazilian grooves from the 60's and 70's, just like Gilles' first Brazilian comp. There are moments of absolute genius here and every last track is memorable. California Soul is a study in the bizarre: you have a karaoke-style vocal that wrecks the lyrics by someone who sounds like she would look positively stunning, yet is about to pass out from too much alcohol ... the rhythm section is off at times ... yet it all ends up being exquisite. Great stuff that must be heard to be believed, lol.

The second disc of BIB never really lights my fire until nearly the end, when we actually get some of the sounds most would want on a Brazilian comp, especially after the expectation set by Gilles first set. None of the songs are bad, but they don't stand out either.

All in all, I prefer the first IN BRAZIL better just because of the comparative weakness of the second disc here. But "weakness" is a relative term and it's fairly certain that you will like this set if you are a Gilles fan. Recommended.

4 out of 5 stars A great follow up to Gilles Peterson in Brazil.......2006-11-01

Gilles Peterson's first CD, Gilles Peterson in Brazil is one of my favourites, especially the first CD 'Classico'... which I've played over and over.

His second effort is very good, just not quite as good. Gilles Peterson though sets an exceptionally high standard with his CDs as he has exquisite taste in music. His second effort follows much the same format. Both CDs are unmixed, the first CD is more laid back, with soulful, jazzy, sometimes funky and always hip beats from the 1960's and 70's. There's a couple of rare tracks mixed in and others by lesser known artists. Disc one is my favourite and is great for mellowing out to. The second is more up beat, yet not of a dance type style. There's one or two (only) dud tracks though, in my opinion. While I can dig hip-hop, and Brazil has some great hip-hop, I'm just not a fan of breaks no matter how hard I try. But that's Gilles, pushing the envelope, trying something new and usually it comes off and so I'm happy to go along with that.

If you want some amazing Brazilian dance music try the Barrio Latino's by Carlos Campos (start with Paris). They're in the same style (and quality) as Buddha Bar (i.e. a chilled CD and a mixed dance CD).

Overall, I still prefer the original Gilles Peterson in Brazil set, but if he keeps putting music out that's so good, I'll keep buying it. A solid 4 out 5.

4 out of 5 stars Funk from Brazil.......2006-04-13

This is a nice 2 disc set compiled by Gilles peterson. Disc one, "Classic", features songs from the 60's and 70's with a distinctly funky feel to them while disc two features more modern interpretations, but still with funk and soul. Both discs are specific to Gilles Peterson's DJing and compilation style. That is, he goes well off the beaten path to bring up some terrific tracks that may not hit the main-stream/commercial compilation series'.

Disc one starts out with an old Wilson Simonal track "Nem Vem Que Nao Tem"... talk about classic! Nice funk, plenty of attitude. Golden Boys have a version of "Berimbau' that's far different from the Baden Powell version that many are accustomed to. Nice instrumentation and build. Meanwhile "No Caminho do Bem" will remind you of afrocentric tunes in the USA in the 70's... it really is a small world... but accurate for the message of that time (loosely means "get out of the way of good). Another song I enjoyed off the classic disc was O Povo Canta (the people sing). A clip on that, you can see where Timbalada got inspiration some 25 years later! I also dug Jaime Alem & Nair Candia's "Sob O Mar" (Under the Sea, or "underwater"). Like another reviewer I prefer Nair's single version of the song. I also enjoyed "Mario Castro Neves "Candomble" is also a sensational song to add.

Disc 2 is more dedicated to the new artists, but in the same mold of the first. BiD's "Mandigueira" is a fantastic blend of old styles and modern effects, featuring hollow percussion and Elza Soares on vocals. Patricia Marx mixes it up with another London broken beat master group, 4Hero, with "Menino". It's a song with modern soul and flavor to it, starting out like a usual R&B song but with a nice loop to it. Marcos Valle's "Parabens" is also featured, and another great song on disc two includes a jazzed up version of "Escravos do Jo" by Joaquin Claussel & Kerri Chandler. It's got a killer horn, and samples of the more common 'Friends from Rio' version. But I think the real gem in this one is "Futebol de Bar". Slammin' piano, and damned if it doesn't get samba football in your head... hard to explain, but you have to hear this song to hear it - so Brazilian! Even heard it on O Globo here & there.

This double disc set is a wealth of musical knowledge. It's not so random either, and I think Gilles did a terrific job at truly identifying a musical culture outside of the typical "Girl from Ipanema". Real songs, real emotions, real life. I wasn't a fan of all of the songs here but there's more than enough to justify the purchase and I appreciated the alternate interpretations. If you like this, you'll definitely love the "Brazilian Love Affiar" series on Far Out records. You might also like an album titled "Spirit of Brasil" which was designed just like this one, but released maybe 4 years before!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Collection of Songs.......2006-09-14

I keep these two CDs in my car constantly. After listening to it just once, I knew it would become one of my favorites. Such a great collection of songs. You won't be dissapointed.

5 out of 5 stars unexpectedly great compilation!.......2005-11-29

The liner notes call this "freshly squeezed Brazilian jazz juice for 2004" - a nice subtitle. CD 1 has great songs from the 60s and 70s; some are famous classics, some are not. They are not remixed, Gilles honors the tradition. CD 2, to my pleasant surprise, has a good bit of listening variety. The all-too-frequent "thump-thump-thump-thump" doesn't even kick in until halfway through the CD, and even then is not constant. The notes explain that since Brazilian drum 'n' bass has been so popular with the club scene, Gilles "wants to explore other angles and aspects of the nu-skool."

I was expecting something along the lines of the Brazilectro compilations - of which I have all, and like them a lot - but this is significantly different in approach. Thank you, DJ Gilles, for providing an invigorating alternative to other compilations on the market! Highly recommended for listening as much as for dancing.

4 out of 5 stars Not perfect, but damn close.......2005-03-17

If you are curious as to what is this recent trends towards Brazilian, I urge you to go out and get 'In Brazil.' The 2 disc set is split into two - CLASICO, which are Brazilian tunes from the 80s and 70s, and 'Ahora', which reflect more recent, housey, and breakbeat-themed tunes.

Portuguese is a romantic language, and to hear it to some funky tunes throws it over the top/ I especially enjoy the 'Clasico' CD especially, as it contains the sound elements that are heard in many of today's Brazilian tunes. And be sure to check out the original version of 'Sob O Mar' - beautiful.

5 out of 5 stars If I could, I'd give this 10 stars........2004-10-17

First off, this is Gilles Peterson. The fact that you've made it this far means you are either (a) in the know or, (b) just here on dumb-luck. Whichever the scenario may be, consider yourself blessed, stop deliberating over this cd and just purchase it now and be done with it.

Going back to my first point, it's Gilles Peterson. That speaks volumes. This man literally can do no wrong and there are very few others around of which that can be said. The few others of course are such geniuses as Little Louie Vega, Kenny Dope Gonzales, Larry Heard, Danny Krivit, Miguel Migs and a few others that I'll leave off for the sake of being mysterious. :)

At any rate, the music on here is absolutely second to none. I mean it is flawless. Impeccably chosen and mixed, creating a vibe that is simply gorgeous. The first disc is the "classic" vibe, throwing back a very cool late 60's to funky 70's brazilian groove. The second disc is the contemporary counterpart and is equally mesmerizing.

Get this, get this, get this. That's truly all I can say. I fear that I simply haven't done this cd justice in this review, but hopefully you can forgive me. If you get this, I'm sure you will. Oh, and if you can find it, Kenny Dope Gonzalez has a counterpart cd to this one that is now out on Marcos Valle's same record label in the UK (Far Out) which features his take on classic Brazilian groovers and funk such as those Gilles put on disc 1 of this baby. IF you can find, get that one too. :)

Enjoy!
