Tanto Tempo Remixes

Amazon.com
Bebel Gilberto appears to be the figurehead of 21st-century bossa nova, so it's only fitting she should be the subject of one of the biggest 21st-century trends, the remix. But when the remixes are done as well as this, it actually adds to the original album. Her languid, sensual vocals are still the cornerstone, but Rae & Christian's more upbeat take on "Bananeira" propels the song to the dance floor, while Trüby Trio evoke the shantytown favelas, home of samba, on the percussive "Sem Contencao." A couple of the tracks might seem more like limp Sade than tropical Bebel, but for the most part there's plenty of invention occurring, as with Da Lata's gorgeous interpretation of "August Day Song." In addition to all of the aforementioned, King Britt, Ananda Project, and 4hero are among the studio whizzes who lend their high-profile talents to Gilberto, making Tanto Tempo into something reborn. --Chris Nickson

3 and 1/2 stars..........2006-09-22

I stumbled across this compilation at my local Goodwill. Familiar with the name Bebel Gilberto, if not her music, I picked it up having recognized Peter Kruder as one of the remix artists. So I come to this not as one who knows her music but as a techno geek who loves such artists as Thievery Corporation and Kruder & Dorfmeister (half the duo being the Peter Kruder noted above) who have introduced me to a collection of artists I'd never otherwise hear.

Compilations such as this remix album are a great way to listen to something new. It's obvious that the backbone of these mixes is Bebel Gilberto's music and it is quite lovely, though I will have to venture forth and obtain the original of this album.

But to compare it to the original is to miss the point. Of course it isn't the original and of course one should have the original. But remixes, in my opinion, are a great way to introduce people to the often inspired alternative versions one can make, even from a great original. Such is the case here.

There are some clunkers on here but many of them are quite stunning the highlights being Peter Kruder's version of "Tanto Tempo" and Rae & Christian's take on "Bananeira". Others are mere background music, though nice background music at that. All in all this is a good mix to put on for some downtempo mood music.

Like mixing mojitos.......2006-06-14

As "Tanto Tempo" is a great album,so is its remixed version.It's interesting to hear how different DJs handle Bebel Gilberto's exuberant work.They give a new spin to bossa nova.If you enjoyed the original versions,you'll like this one!

The highlights include Rae&Christian's version of "Bananaeira",Truby Trio's trippy "Sem Contencao"&Monoaural's take on "Mais Feliz." The three versions of "August Day Song" from Chateau Flight,King Britt,and Da Lata give it three different flavors,of which Chateau Flight&King Britt are the best.It's no wonder Putumayo chose King Britt's version of "August Day Song" for its "Brazilian Lounge" compilation.Peter Kruder's version of "Tanto Tempo" is perfect for a sweaty,throbbing dancefloor.Mario Caldato's take on "Summer Samba" is perfect for grooving.While Ananda Project,Sin Plomo,Faze Action,Chari Chari&4Hero have filler,it is an overall strong album.Perfect for any Brazilian music collection!

Great Buy.......2006-03-01

I bought this CD for one track - Tanto Tempo, remixed by Peter Kruder, which combines the best of Kruder's work and Bebel's work. It is sublime! TThe other tracks vary from average to good.

This is SEXY and TRIPPY... New Brazil is here, and it's good, REAL GOOD !.......2005-06-20

These remixes make of this album an incredible accomplishment. It is a remarkable combination of electronic music and sexy bossa nova. If you like downtempo/midtempo lounge music, please give this one a try. It will amaze you. This CD is sooo good, it can actually be the beginning of a new music genre all on its own: SEXELECTROBOSSA.

A very talented crew of master DJ's/Producers like Rae & Christian, Trüby Trio, and Peter Kruder, to name a few, have made of this album a true masterpiece. But beware, these are not your traditional "Nu Brazil" remixes. This is a very diffirent album, with a very distinctive sound. It is definitely sexy, somewhat futuristic, and very very trippy. Quite unique.

Sexy bossa nova has never sounded so good and contemporary. Pour a glass of your favorite drink, light up a candle and let the music take you on this amazing trip...

Sexy Groove Mood Music.......2005-06-20

Bebel has a beautiful voice, and I love the Brazilian Style - this remix album is like driving a convertible on the most perfect sunny day. My fave - August Day Song. Perfect for dancing, or for chilling on your garden patio with your favorite drink.
