Great Reworks!.......2005-03-08

2004 was a big year for broken beats. Seemed like 2003 was fresh, yet 2004 was the time that it really started to sink into the sound systems and we had great releases by The Bugz in the Attic and 4 Hero, among several others, to thank for it. 4 Hero won't be new to anyone that's a fan of the sound - their last two albums are broken beat/soul legends for anyone that puts together a playlist.

And this remix album is a testament to their versatility and the musicians they've worked with. Disc 1 is a compilation of songs that they'd remade and done up while disc 2 is other dj's and musicians returning the favor on his work. Sorta like Jazzanova's two albums 1997-2000, but together in one neat package. Disc one is, admittedly, my favorite of the two. 4 Hero can put together one slammin' mixed set. From the opening deep, deep, deep soul remake of "I Am the Black Gold of the Sun", they give the Nuyorican Soul a juiced up broken beat bridge for half the cut. Won't make you forget the Rotary Connection/Minnie Ripperton but the quality's still there. Ultra Nate's "Twisted" is given a sexy guitar and effects face-lift. But "Having Your Fun" by Phil Asher/Focus is when you get the meat of the cuts to mix with. What a vibe! It's also followed up with the version of "Give in To Me" that I prefer. Disc one is so diverse; there's some Brazil there with a percussion/break heavy remake to "Espcape" and then you've got a crazy cool version of the classic "Naima" to close out the cd.

To me, CD1 alone warrants the purchase. That's not to say that CD2 didn't have it's fair share of tracks (Jazzanova, Bugz, MAW's remixes were the highlights). But that one's just not as strong IMO. Regardless, check this out! And keep in mind that when I picked it up, it was nowhere NEAR the $40+ bucks they're looking for here. And if you dig it, give a listen to a few Trust the DJ cd's, Afterdark: Paris, Compost artists like Beanfield, Jazzanova or try Truby Trio's "Re-Treated" project. The vinyl pack of this is also sensational for spinning and has the essentials, but it does NOT have all of the cuts on the two cd version. Now if only we could get Nicola Conte to put out a double set of his remixes...

Great collection.......2004-05-21

These two CDs are divided into one disc of 4hero remixing other people, and then another disc of other people remixing 4hero. 4hero's remixes of others are half brilliant, and half okay. I prefer 4hero's recent broken beat production to their mid-90's drum'n'bass, so if you like d&b you might dig the tracks that I'm lukewarm on. The "Remixed" disc, though, is uniformly excellent. Great players like Jazzanova (a lot of you will already have this mix though), Bugz In The Attic, Masters At Work, DJ Spinna, Metalheadz and King Britt all take their turns at reinterpreting 4hero.

The Remix Album Vol. 1 Marcos Valle.......2007-05-02

This should be the real title of this latest Marcos Valle CD, I think Amazon is now advertising.
If that's the case, this is a 2006 effort Marcos recorded at Roberto Menescal's studio for "Bossa 58" - "Albatroz".
The Tracks are:
1. Veio Veio, Vai Vai
2. Mentiras
3. Os Grilos (Crickets sing for Anamaria)
4. Nova Bossa Nova
5. Samba de Verao
6. Partido Alto
7. Ela E Carioca
8. A Ra
9. O Que Eu Gosto De Voce
10. Bossa Entre Amigos

Regardless of the title; this is not an album with remixes; is more like a modernization of some of Marcos Valle's hits and some of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Donato-Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque, Silvio Cesar and Roberto Menescal (paticipant on this effort).
Very catchy tunes with the direct partcipation of BossaCucaNova (on cut #5 Samba de Verao a.k.a. Summer Samba), but mainly by Roberto Menescal's son Marcio Menescal; he plays bass guitar, keyboards, programming and mixing; Marcos plays his usual Fender Rhodes and his vocals are still (after he started singing Bossa Nova hits 40 years ago) amazing. Others participating on this great album are: Patricia Alvi on vocals, Roberto Menescal on guitars and Wanda Sa as well on vocals.
Marcos Valle along with other originals-from-the-Bossa-Nova movement like Roberto Menescal, Wanda Sa, Joao Donato etc., find a terrific way to keep updating and modernizing themselves and this is the perfect example. If you love Marcos Valle like many of us, and if you love Bossa Nova with electronic elements; this SHOULD be in your collection.
