Brazilian Love Affair 5

10th Anniversary selection from Far Out's catalogue in the company of label boss Joe Davis, featuring no less than eight exclusive tracks from established classic names as well as exciting new talent. New tracks from Democustico, Azymuth and Grupo Batuque are all fresh from the studio, recorded on Far Out's recent trip to Brazil in January 2004, each one perfectly capturing the winter heat of Brazil. Sabrina Malheiros, the daughter of Alex from Azymuth, has been following in her father's footsteps for quite some time now and it's clear the homework's paid off. Mark 'Troubleman' Pritchard has come up with a '60s style easy-bossa that's carioca through and through. Jose Roberto Bertrami and Aleuda team up for a slice of catchy eccentric fusion , the ever reliable Roc Hunter has his sublime Mamond project from 2002 revisited, the deleted Kyoto Jazz Massive remix of Friend's From Rio gets a welcome rewind, altogether a memorable collection.
