V/A - Gilles Peterson in Brazil

V/A - Gilles Peterson in Brazil
Label - Ether (UK)
Release - 2004
Style - Brazil, Bossa Nova, Samba, Electronic, Drum and Bass, Lee Library

(from Dusty Groove):
A soaring selection of Brazilian groove -- selected by the great Gilles Peterson -- one of the best collections ever assembled by the world famous DJ! Gilles goes way past the obvious for the sets, which are divided into two discs -- one for classic tracks (many of which are actually woefully under-appreciated, in the grand scheme) and a second disc of recent tracks and remixes. The mood is really soaring and soulful throughout -- groovy sambas mingle with Brazilian jazz and soul tunes, and cheeky psychedelia-steeped 60s sunshine on the first disc. The mood on disc two is wholly reverent of the samba roots, but it's also awash in modern club grooves -- with sputtering post drum & bass, a hip hop beat track sensibility on others, and a straight driving club groove on still others!

(random review)
Best acid jazz compilation out there; not one word of vocals on the entire album, this is a pure electronic/jazz hybrid. If you're like the song Cooper's World by Squarepusher and you want an album with the same vibe for every track you wont be dissapointed. "Serious Intent" and "Blakey" are highlights on this cd.

1. Endemic Void - Serious Intent
2. Kosma - Aeroboot
3. Mr. Electric Triangle - A'Luomo
4. Jimpster - Mind Painting
5. Cujo - Traffic

8. The Chris Bangs Project - Future Cliche
