The Samba Lover s Romantic Dream CD - This is my all-time favorite Brazil 66 album. Sexy, sensual, exudes a feeling of warm weather and warm emotions. Captivating rhythms, poetic, evocative lyrics, with lovely, intricate vocal and musical arrangements. A joy from beginning to end and a must-have for romantic evenings.
TIMELESS AND BEATIFUL - LOOKED FOR IT FOR YEARS AND IT WAS WORTH IT THE WAIT......
If You Can Own Only One Brasil 66 Album, Here It Is - Sergio Mendez and his talented musicians recorded many fine albums throughout the 60s, but Equinox may have been the apex. At a playing time of under thirty minutes, it is like life itself: rich, sweet, and short.
Yes, this IS their best! - Family friends introduced me to this album in the early 70 s when I was in my early teens and I fell in love with it immediately. I wore that album out listening to it and eventually had to replace it. I even had it on an 8 track tape!! That thing was awful, but that didn t stop me from playing it. LOL!I don t know what it is about this album, but every song is just... fabulous. The vocals, the melodies, the arrangements, they re all terrific and memorable. After my turntable broke I never replaced it and I lost the cassette I made of the album. Over the past several years I forgot about this album, as it wasn t on cd then. While searching for something online the other day something made me think of it and I looked to see if it was downloadable. Then I thought, wait, let me see if it ever came out on cd and to my surprise and happiness it had! I ordered it and I can t wait for it to get here. Listening to the little snippets online leave me longing for more, for the real thing. Yeah, it s short. Oh well, that s how the album was. Bonus tracks? A double cd? I don t know, that s not the album I remember, the album I want. I loved it just the way it was and will love it just the way it is when it FINALLY gets here. :-) I just wish I had discovered it again sooner!
This is the real greatest hits album! - I bought this album in 1966 and played it untill it turned to gray and then lost it in the shuffle of getting married ,kids and moving etc. I bought another copy,an LP. from a catalog for around$25.00 , I was very happy,now I see this on CD for half the price!! This album is tops! It s allways a favorite of mine ,it s one of those 60 s Bests albums in the line of Pet Clarks MyLove with Tony Hatch arrangements and Beach Boys Pet Sounds,BeatlesRubber Soul.....What an era... sigh..
