Gilberto Goes To Japan In The Crest Of A White Wave.......2006-11-10

In 1969 Astrud Gilberto produced three wonderful albums for Verve. Nevertheless, in an paradoxically inexplicable and unjustifiable way, her two "official" records from that year, the published ones for the american and european market, still have not been reissued by Verve. Two authentic marvels ("I Haven't Got Anything Better To Do" and "September 17, 1969") that still are sleeping the eternal dream, hoping that someone intelligent in Verve does the correct thing: to manage his reissue by request.
The third album published in 1969 for Gilberto was her "Gilberto Golden Japanese Album" a magnificent (re)collection of special moments in which, apart from the impressive arrangements, there shines with proper light her only and unrepeatable voice of velvet capable of transmitting, from her soft fragility, the ripple of the waves in the distance, when the first rays of the morning sun so it seems to dismiss the night, a little before when everything returns to begin.
Fantastic.

¡Very good!.......2006-07-14

It's a cd wonderful. Astrud Gilberto is a sorceress. Your interpretation of "A man and a woman" is beatifuil. Your sweet, calm and melodious voice transports to the stars.It is one of the Astrud Gilberto's best works. ¡¡¡¡¡¡Excellent!!!!!!

Warning!!!! The Singer on This CD is not Japanese!!!.......2006-03-03

Wait! Is that Yoko singing?! No. But, what if Yoko Ono had made an album that was worth listening to? What if Yoko had a soothing, sexy, cool as a barrel of Beatniks voice and wasn't the one who broke up the Beatles? What if?.... Sorry, got a bit carried away there. Astrud wasn't Japanese at all, but Portuguese. Why did she make an album where she sung in Japanese (at least, I think it's Japanese. I'm not sure, because I don't understand Japanese or Portuguese)? I dunno. Why did "Sex Farm" make the charts in Japan, Homer resemble Mr. Sparkle, and Jerry appear on the "Super Terrific Happy Hour?" We'll never know. I also can't figure out why none of these songs appeared on the Kill Bill, Vol. 1 soundtrack. Anyway, before we solve such mysteries, listen to this album. It's one of Astrud's more consistently good efforts. Her cover of "Mas Que Nada" alone is worth the price. Another highlight is the first track, "Street Samba." Astrud's fast songs, in my opinion, were/are always more enjoyable than the slow ones. Those on this album are no exception. If you buy the Golden Japanese Album, not only will you possibly like it, you will be instantly cooler than at least one of your friends. Enjoy.

cool nippo bossa!!!.......2004-10-01

This is a fantastic cool bossa nova album of Astrud Gilberto sung in japanese language and recorded with Sadao Watanabe and his orchestra in Tokio in 1969. 2/3 of the record are written by japanese musicians, 1/3 are the best bossa standard of Astrud. The whole album is melancholic bossa with sweet and tender orchestration: no redundance, great chill out music!!!
This album is a real Masterpiece
