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.
