Bahian Out of Time.......2004-12-05

This is one of the finest pop albums of the '90s, as well as one of the best Brazilian records ever made. Gil's work in the '80s was spotty--he had an unhealthy fixation on reggae and while most of his albums, including the very nice "Um Banda Um," contained great songs, his stuff tended to be overproduced and lacking in the melodic finesse and mystery of his classic '60s and early-'70s work. Veloso I've always found a bit genteel, although his best work ranks with the best of Gil. But on this album the combination of Veloso's conventionally beautiful voice and Gil's somewhat more idiosyncratic vocals (and Gil's brilliant guitar playing) makes for a classic. "Tradicão," originally done on Gil's 1978 "Realce," is one of the most gorgeous performances I know. They sound glad to be recording together again. I'd compare this to what might have happened had Lennon lived to make a record with Paul McCartney; certainly Gil and Veloso compare favorably to the two British musicians who influenced them so much. The only questionable track is Hendrix' "Wait Until Tomorrow," originally done on the 1968 "Axis: Bold as Love." But if this indulges Gil's longtime fascination with the great American guitarist and songwriter, so be it. The rest of it is flawless, beautifully sung, and tinged with that Brazilian nostalgia called "saudade." A great one to start with, along with "Tropicália Essentials," if you want to get into these two artists.

You really can't go wrong.......2004-05-08

By now most of know all about Gil and Veloso - 2 legends, each a great poet and musicians, founders of a movement in art and culture "Tropacalia." This album is somewhat uneven, but I would purchase it on the basis of "Haiti" and Cinema Novo" alone, they are classics.

classic.......2003-11-24

Tropicalia II . Classic . Produced by legendary Liminha .The first track ("Haiti") , with the percussions of Brown & Musotto , worths the whole album .

Absolutely fresh.......2002-12-01

This is my first Veloso/Gil album though I have heard many of their songs elsewhere and it is fantastic. Many of the pieces are so creative yet maintain elements of their origin so you see the exploration and stretching but always remaining true to the Brazilian roots. It's great to just listen to and relax to but each piece also arouses curiosity and pleasure through its originality.

Celebration of a 25 year musical and personal friendship.......2000-09-04

If you don't yet own any of Caetano Veloso or Gilberto Gil's CDs and are curious as to where to begin, go no further. This is a great starting point. Likewise, for those of us who have a fairly extensive collection of both musicians' work, this is a fantastic CD, because it brings together the 2 different songwriting styles and blends them seamlessly. This is sensuous, exotic, but above all extremely catchy pop. These guys are influenced by musicians ranging from Miles Davis to Jimi Hendrix, but the one thing that stays constant is the African rhythm. I've had it for 2 years, and don't foresee the day I'll be tired of this CD.

Amazon.com

Ten years after Beleza Tropical Volume 1 turned the world on to the popular music of Brazil (MPB), along comes volume 2 to bring us up to date. The first volume did a great job covering the 1960s and '70s; volume 2 does an equally impressive job in focusing on the late '80s and the '90s. The MPB scene is as vibrant as ever. Elder voices of the movement like Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Sergio Mendes have recently put out some of the best work of their careers, and you'll find wonderful examples of that here. The new generation of MPB stars are also amply represented--Marisa Monte, Daniela Mercury, the late Chico Science, Moleque de Rua, Os Paralamas Do Successo, and others all contribute excellent work. The songs incorporate the technological changes of the past decade and meld elements of rock, jazz, funk, reggae, and African music with the rich traditions of Brazil. The result is music that is coherent, edgy, and creatively compelling. This compilation is very well sequenced, so that it doesn't sound like a hodgepodge of styles, but instead flows flawlessly from tune to tune. --Jeff Grubb

Customer Reviews:

"Some" great cuts.......2001-09-09

This is a fair album if we compare it to the first one. David leaves outside many great singers/groups like Daude, Suzano, even the great Ed Motta; and on the other hand, some cuts are not worth listing in a "Beleza" (Beauty)album. Anyhow, Gilberto Gil's cut is excellent among two or three more. I stick with the first one.

Truly a great sampling of new Brazilian music.......2001-08-08

I was first introduced to Brazilian music with Byrne's Brazilian Classics, prefering above the others, the Beleza Tropical #1. After loving that album so much for so long, the first time I heard Beleza Tropical 2 I was disappointed. BUT now I LOVE this CD! I don't know what the others who reviewed this CD are griping about. This is a great CD with a lot of fun tracks and talented artsits. There's a lot of MPB I really don't like but there is not on song on this CD I don't think worthy of a compilation like this. Ever since buying this CD, I haven't gone back to the first one. It was time for me to update my tastes for Brazilian music.

Very Good.......1999-12-24

It's very good to hear new artists like Carlos Careqa, Lenine and Arnaldo Antunes and of course the late Chico Science anthology of Brazilian music. I recommend to look for Carlos Careqa's MUSICA PARA FINAL DE SECULO and OS HOMENS SAO TODOS IGUAIS and CHICO SCIENCE'S AFROCIBERDELIA AND MANGUEBEAT. Congratulations to Luaka Bop.

"Eh".......1999-10-27

The title read Novo! Mais! Melhor! and had David Byrne's name on it. But it was anything but the title. Actually I thought this was downright dull. There are loads of compilations with much more flair-- like Nova Bossa for old, Cuca Nova/Red Hot+ Rio for new renditions. Great artists like Mercury, Monte and Veloso are wasted on this-- they're why the CD has two stars instead of one. The only song I enjoyed was "What is This", but I would suggest buying Sergio Mendes' Brasileiro instead of this one. Disappointing CD.. save your money

Stinks.......1999-10-06

This CD is pants. Unfortunately, the Amazon system doesn't allow you to give less than one star. The cover artwork is shite, there is absolutely nothing new on the record, and it's a total waste of time and money. As a statement about Brazilian music of the 90s, look no further than the fact that one of the tracks was written in the 60s. The title, for those who don't speak Portuguese, means new, more, better. It's old, less, worse. Guess Byrne's love affair with Brazil must have gone off the boil. Try Chico Cesar's CuzCuz Clã instead. Now that really is new, more, better

Customer Reviews:

Great album!!.......2006-08-09

The other reviews are good enough, but I just wanted to give this CD 5 stars because it is so good. I like Chill 1, but this is my favorite of the 3 CD's in this series. Several of the songs (by Preta Gil & Joyce) were so good that I got their individual albums. Some songs are new (to me!) and some are old songs remade, but all are terrific!

Solid Double Disc CD of MPB.......2003-11-15

I find the previuos review very helpful - however I actually enjoyed this one a bit better than the first. The first one, compiled by Marcos Valle, was solid but had some pretty iffy tracks on there. This one, compiled by Joyce, is a bit better than that one through in through. The compilation is made by WEA International, is a double disc set of some musica popular Brasil (MPB) and some older Bossa Nova.

It features some of the legendary singers and songwriters of Brazil along with some of the not so publicized contemporary artists or popular artists through the years. You'll see Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Milton Nascimento, Hermeto Pascoal, Gilberto Gil's tunes in there along with Bebel Gilberto, Kaleidoscopio, Preta Gil, Sonia Rosa, Tania Maya, Zuco 103 and the like. The musical styles range from MPB to some classic Bossa Nova and in the end, CD 1 is stronger than CD 2.

In the end, this is a solid compilation which I think is stronger than the first Chill Brazil. I like how some of the old tunes are mixed here, and the classic Jobim sound. My favorite cut is, well, the Joyce exclusive which has hints of her classic "Feminia" written all over it. Gilberto Gil's "O Lugar Do Nosso Amor" is also cool - I liked the hint of "So Tinha De Ser Com Voce" in it even then. My gripe? Well, again, it's not the strongest of MPB, and was including Marcos Valles "Crickets Sing for Ana Maria" an oversight? (it's track 12 on his Chill Brazil). Finally - WEA released a few other cd's mixed by Eddy De Clercq titled "Boss-A-Troniq" and "Boss-A-Troniq II". They're pretty solid new Bossa Comps which feature Towa Tei, Nicola Conte, EBTG, Truby Trio, etc. - music popular in 2000-2001.

Not Bad....Not Great........2003-11-04

I was disappointed with this CD, because I got the previous release, "Chill: Brazil 1" and enjoyed that thoroughly. This collection is not bad, however it's not nearly as good as the first one released. It was compiled by legendary singer, Joyce (whose songs are by far the best of the CD). There is also a great song by Azymuth on here, "Tamborim, Cuica, Ganza e Berimbau", which is definitely worth checking out, however it's probably better to buy the Azymuth CD that has that song, then to buy this whole album. There are other really good songs on here, but it all depends on if you want to buy a CD for ony 5 or 6 good songs (out of 38 - remember it's a double disc set).

Customer Reviews:

Great Collection of Rare Tracks!.......2004-03-13

I absolutely agree with the other Amazon reviewer "A Music Man From NY". This is a wonderful album full of rare bossa nova tracks from mostly the late 60's and early 70's. Although not every single song was outstanding, there were a couple of songs which made this album worth buying alone. The two that stand out in my mind are: "Ao Amigo Tom" by Claudette Soares (featuring the great Os Cariocas and Som Tres) and "Helena and I" by Mario Castro-Neves. It's taken me years to find both those RARE tracks!!! "Ao Amigo Tom" is a nice tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim (aka "Tom" as he is known in Brasil). Since Tom spent many years in the United States, this song is a tribute to how much the Brazilians miss him and want him to return home. "Helena and I" is a song that Mario Castro-Neves wrote about his wife and it is a lounge classic. Also another VERY difficult piece to find! If not for anything else, those two tracks are definitely worth checking out, even though the rest of the album is also pretty good.

Best Brazilian Compilation of Rare Tracks.......2002-12-03

Incredible, one of the best compilations of Brazilian music issued - a true classic in every sense of the word. Volume 2 is a continuation of Volume 1 - a musical journey that depicts the rich evolution of Brazilian music during and after the bossa era. A tasty batch of rare tracks illustrate the wide range of styles that emerged during the late 60s and 1970s. Great.

Solid Compilation of What Ziriguiboom's been up to.......2006-03-31

Ziriguiboom's a label out of Europe that specializes in new Brazilian music. They're a pretty stark contrast to the likes of a Far Out records, which has served as a wonderful springboard of terrific established artists. Ziriguiboom/Crammed have focused their attention on some of the younger and in some cases, more experimental acts. Some of the artists on their label include (and included) Suba, Zuco 103, Bebel Gilberto, Trio Mocoto, DJ Dolores and the list goes on. This is volume two of their "Now Sound of Brazil" series. But don't be fooled - Ziriguiboom had a sampler out in 1999 too titled "Brasil 2Mil", which to me was their best and most effective and in some ways, would render this one volume 3 instead.

Still, volume 2 is pretty good. The sampler does a terrific job of giving you an idea of what to expect from the new artists on the label and what some of the other artists have been up to. It opens up with a cut straight from Bebel Gilberto's remix album before diving into a spirited track on Bossacucanova's latest (released in 2004). It's still a good track to me, collaborating with Zuco 103, which shows how much the group's matured. You then have Apollo Nove's "Inexplicata" before Cibelle's "esplendor". I dug cibelle's track - nice acoustic sound. Other good tracks on here were both of Celso Fonseca's tunes - one given a rare remix by Da Lata, Apollo Nove's "86" stuck out, and I liked DJ Dolore's "Trancelim de Marfim" too. Funny but Cibelle's gone in a different direction in some ways; maybe I have to give it more time but "Meu Amor" was pretty darn abstract to even me...

I liked this compilation. it gives you an idea of what some of the artists are up to. But it wasn't without fault - that is to say, I wasn't a fan of all of the tunes here or that were used. In fact, many of the songs weren't the best out of the projects the artists have recently undergone IMO, which doesn't do them any real favors when it comes to building expectations. Still, it's a good sign that Ziriguiboom is still in the business of breaking down boundaries and putting out some interesting music and exciting musicians. If you like this, be on the lookout for some of these artists feature releases. A shame... I hear Bebel Gilberto's coming out with a new album for late 2006/2007, but no teasers are on this one.

Excellent........2006-01-19

Good rhythm in all the songs, very much "Brazil". Very soothing soundtrack to listen to, I would no doubt listen to this while relaxing in the sun on a beach or in my back yard. This is full of soft, sometimes jazzy, singing and acoustic guitar. Quite the Brazilian sound to it with a hint of techno in some songs. Every song was enjoyable.

Bahian Out of Time.......2004-12-05

This is one of the finest pop albums of the '90s, as well as one of the best Brazilian records ever made. Gil's work in the '80s was spotty--he had an unhealthy fixation on reggae and while most of his albums, including the very nice "Um Banda Um," contained great songs, his stuff tended to be overproduced and lacking in the melodic finesse and mystery of his classic '60s and early-'70s work. Veloso I've always found a bit genteel, although his best work ranks with the best of Gil. But on this album the combination of Veloso's conventionally beautiful voice and Gil's somewhat more idiosyncratic vocals (and Gil's brilliant guitar playing) makes for a classic. "Tradicão," originally done on Gil's 1978 "Realce," is one of the most gorgeous performances I know. They sound glad to be recording together again. I'd compare this to what might have happened had Lennon lived to make a record with Paul McCartney; certainly Gil and Veloso compare favorably to the two British musicians who influenced them so much. The only questionable track is Hendrix' "Wait Until Tomorrow," originally done on the 1968 "Axis: Bold as Love." But if this indulges Gil's longtime fascination with the great American guitarist and songwriter, so be it. The rest of it is flawless, beautifully sung, and tinged with that Brazilian nostalgia called "saudade." A great one to start with, along with "Tropicália Essentials," if you want to get into these two artists.

You really can't go wrong.......2004-05-08

By now most of know all about Gil and Veloso - 2 legends, each a great poet and musicians, founders of a movement in art and culture "Tropacalia." This album is somewhat uneven, but I would purchase it on the basis of "Haiti" and Cinema Novo" alone, they are classics.

Tropicalia II . Classic . Produced by legendary Liminha .The first track ("Haiti") , with the percussions of Brown & Musotto , worths the whole album .

Absolutely fresh.......2002-12-01

This is my first Veloso/Gil album though I have heard many of their songs elsewhere and it is fantastic. Many of the pieces are so creative yet maintain elements of their origin so you see the exploration and stretching but always remaining true to the Brazilian roots. It's great to just listen to and relax to but each piece also arouses curiosity and pleasure through its originality.

Celebration of a 25 year musical and personal friendship.......2000-09-04

If you don't yet own any of Caetano Veloso or Gilberto Gil's CDs and are curious as to where to begin, go no further. This is a great starting point. Likewise, for those of us who have a fairly extensive collection of both musicians' work, this is a fantastic CD, because it brings together the 2 different songwriting styles and blends them seamlessly. This is sensuous, exotic, but above all extremely catchy pop. These guys are influenced by musicians ranging from Miles Davis to Jimi Hendrix, but the one thing that stays constant is the African rhythm. I've had it for 2 years, and don't foresee the day I'll be tired of this CD.
