Like a Can-Opener for your Brain.......2006-07-20

About ten years ago, I first heard "Da Lama Ao Caos" by Chico Science and Nacao Zumbi, it was like something subtle had shifted in the world. Unfortunately, Chico Science died after the band's next album, and even though the remaining members carried on, the band was never quite the same after that.

For a while, I wondered if I'd find something similar--something equally adventuresome, fearless, or ground-breaking. These guys are it. Everything goes into the blender, from metal to hip-hop to samba; but this isn't a fusion that calls attention to itself. It's a seamless blend that's passionate, fierce, and utterly danceable. This is one of the few acts from Brazil that could put a candle to CSNZ.

"Lado B Lado A" is where the elements that're only hinted at on the band's previous two albums finally come together. Don't worry if, like me, you don't speak a word of Portuguese... if this disc doesn't give you goosebumps, seek a cardiologist posthaste. There's not a single dud on this set. And the whole sounds like "Remain In Light," if Talking Heads had detoured via Brazil on their way to Africa. There's echoes of other things in here, too, from Material (in part thanks to Bill Laswell's mixing of two tracks) to Jorge Ben, circa "Africa Brasil."

There's a lot more that can be said about this album, and probably said better than I've managed here; but when all's said and done, it's about the music, and not the review. Buy the disc, and see if it leaves your CD player for a week. It's just that good.

Glue for the soul.......2005-02-07

This all-time album finds its way into the musical part of your brain and stays in there like glue, no matter whether you speak Portuguese or not. If you undestand the lirics and watch the multimedia clips, then it goes even deeper in its meaning. This Band's work only gets better with time, as proven by their last masterpiece album, "A Calma que Precede o Esporo". Their first and last albums will quickly find a very special place at or near the top of your collection.

Brazilian Bliss.......2003-02-28

I have been listening to this CD for a few years, and it happens to be the type of recording that enjoys prolonged stays in the player. It is a wonderful mixture of afro-brazilian percussion, reggae, pop, and avant-garde stylings.
The musicianship is excellent throughout and the eclectic range of influences creates music that is fresh with a depth not often heard in "pop" bands. Do yourself a favor, and add this record to your collection. You will not be disapointed.

interesting.......2002-09-17

I don't know how to put it. It's nice, but not outstanding. I'm happy with their music but there is something missing. There is material, and I would suggest it if you are in search of something different all in one CD. In fact, I find familiar patterns in each song and at the same time original but nothing outbreaking. THere are 3 songs that I would save. But that it's personal.

Best record of the decade?.......2002-08-17

I have few words to describe this record, the best record I have found in years - it is like the Sargeant Pepper's of the nineties so rich is the mixture of ideas.

May I say "best pop band in the world"?
