Max always takes a fresh, innovative approach to his music, and this record is his most innovative thus far. From the high energy Ciranda Ao Redor da Galáxia, to the sexy Iluminismo, to the fun and spirited Rosa, Um Samba Para Excluídos, this record is sure to please even the toughest critic.

5 out of 5 stars A really Rare Samba..........2003-03-26

I heard about Max de Castro on the summer of 2001, but because I was travelling I had not the opportunity to buy his cd. Well three weeks ago I was listening to my mp3's from that summer and I found there the music Samba Raro, and after listening again I ordered this cd right away. If you love a kind of music that you can not define, a kind of Bossa + Samba + Trip Hop + Hip hop, etc this is certainly the cd that you are looking for. So buy it, and enjoy it while thinking about the brazilian way of life....

5 out of 5 stars Exelente!.......2002-05-01

I learned about Max de Castro through the issue of Time Magazine where they featured many international atrists. I think that Castro is one of the best talents aout there, combining samba, hip hop, bossa nova and other stuff. The texture is like the swetty beaches of Rio or something like that, a very unique combination. You wont regret buying this cd. I believe that young latin american musicians are on the rise, like Aterciopelados, Gustavo Crati, Julita Vengas ect... Because there is talent, honesty and profesionalisim intheyir work.

5 out of 5 stars Rare Music.......2001-06-28

Max de Castro is one of a kind. A very talented musician leading a group of other young and new artists to what is being called the "New Brazilian Sound". On this album, Max shows the routes to be followed, mixing the old-timers samba and bossa nova with new ideas. The first album out with this concept. A lot of good music yet to come. Also listen to his friends (see other reviews for details). You will only regret it if you don't.

The Blend is Instantly Recognizable, Yet Like a Fine Steely Dan Album, Reveals a Technological Musical Mastery that is Exhilarating. The Harmonics and Arrangements Compel You to Press the Repeat Button and Listen Over and Over. Coupled with De Castro's Natural Vocal Ability and Expression, You have a Collection of Masterpieces that Thoroughly Entertains, Thrills and Fascinates the Listener.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music.......2007-03-26

If you're looking for beautiful Brazilian bossa nova blended with US jazzy soul, then Max De Castro's Orchestra Klaxon is the right CD for you (really good examples of this blend from the LP are, "A Historia Da Morena Nua Que Abalou As Estruturas Do Esplendor Do Carnaval," O Nego Do Cabelo Bom, Linha Do Tempo, and Calaram A Voz Do Nosso Amor). You do not have to speak Portuguese to understand the depth and passion Castro exudes from his songs. One in particular, O Nego Do Cabelo Bom, Castro speaks socially as he examines the term "good hair;" a state of mind for some people of African decent who believe that by having good hair means it must closely resemble the hair of Europeans or people of European decent. Castro exposes the ridiculousness of this claim in a sweet jazzy bossa nova melodic tempo--whenever I listen to this song, I cannot help but to pop my fingers and pat my feet--his music is so infectious.

For avid Brazilian music listeners in US, Castro is not a novice; he's been around, I believe, since the 90's. And as the son of Wilson Simonal, one of the first Brazilian singers to successfully mix bossa nova and soul music in the 60's and 70's, he's had tremendous influences from his father and other veteran musicians of the like, and you can hear those influences on the LP. I first came to love Orchestra Klaxon by happenstance as I was listening to online radio. Tired of repetitive US pop and R&B music, I began listening to what online radio stations called "world music" and found a new love for traditional and contemporary bossa nova and samba rhythms. I would definitely recommend Orchestra Klaxon to other Brazilian music novices. And, should you llike Orchestra Klaxon, I would also recommend other Brazilian artists with a similar sounding LPs, such as Jair Oliveira's Dis' ritmia and Patricia Marx's Patricia Marx.

5 out of 5 stars Good Music.......2003-07-01

Even better than Samba Raro! Max de Castro made what seemed to be impossible! His melting pot of sounds, mixing jazz, samba, hip hop, soul music is still full of surprises. This album shows Max at his very best. You can't really say anything about the new Brazilian music without mentioning Max de Castro. And this album shows the routes his music is following (and perhaps the routes of Brazilian music of the new century). The music is great and everyone should have a taste of it!

5 out of 5 stars This is a must!!!.......2002-11-27

Finally Max arrives to a more mature work, where he comes across all his influences (bossa nova, samba, soul, jazz and techno), mixing up all together to release this great album!

Music is in the family (son of Wilson Simonal, one of the main percursors of bossa nova in the 60's/70's, and brother of Simoninha, also musician/singer under the same label, Trama), Max gets one step ahead with this latest work, which might dictate the new trends to come for brazilian music. It's an important work that meets other new/young artists projections (like Bebel Gilberto, Suba, Bossa Cuca Nova and Ed Motta ),for what's gonna be the future of brazilian music: the re-descovering of our roots towards a new aesthetic, globalized world.

Orchestra Klaxon brings special guests such as Proveta (horn arrangements, one of the greatest trombone player in Brazil), Paula Lima (track # 4), among others. The instrumental track #8 it's a blow, strong acid-jazz theme!!! (Remembers the old-good-times of the Brand New Heavies but with a pinch of latin swing and some samba beats). Perfect to listen when you are watching the sunset at Ipanema beach or even if you just wanna feel like you're there. Just close your eyes, pump up the volume and chill.

        Another year and another lousy album by the artist once revered by TIME magazine to be among the fast-rising stars of 'the new world pop sound'. Long gone are Max's brilliant song-crafting and arrangements of Samba raro (2001) and Orchestra Klaxon (2003) ... I hope he comes back someday
