Strong debut album from popular Brazilian indiepop band Pale Sunday. The trio turned heads with its 2003 single `A Weekend With Jane' earning acclaim from international music press and comparisons to indie legends Another Sunny Day and Razorcuts plus contemporary bands Brideshead and Aerospace. Since then, the band has contributed covers of Smiths and Sportique songs to Matinée compilations `Romantic and Square is Hip and Aware' and `Matinée 50' while writing and recording the ten new songs for this album. `Summertime?' has all the essential POP! ingredients…jangling guitars, addictive choruses, tambourines, trumpets, handclaps, sha-la-la's and perfect melodies. Sometimes the guitars get fuzzy in classic shoegaze fashion but in the end the bright shimmering pop songs and spirit of `86 take over. The band wears 80s British pop influences on its sleeves but somehow manages to sound completely modern with some of the catchiest songs of the year. In addition to nine English language hits the album features one song in the band's native Portuguese, which of course is the most beautiful language in the world. Bacana!

Milton Nascimento (Portuguese pronunciation: ['miwtõ nasiˈmẽtu]; born October 26, 1942) is a prominent Brazilian singer-songwriter and guitarist.

Patchy and uninspiring debut from São Paulo disco punks and Diplo pals.

《Wave》是Jobim在1967年夏天于A&M唱片公司旗下推出的出色专辑唱片，也是Bossa Nova乐派的代表作品。唱片时长不到32分钟，但是却全方位地展示了这种音乐形式的独特魅力。

一如他们的团名 ~ Os Mutantes ( The Mutants，突变体 ) 所揭櫫之意，远在 60 年代晚期，他们如同外星人般降落在巴西这块森芭之地( The Land of Samba ) 上，带给巴西人宛若遥远光年之外所传来的音乐讯息一般，对於整个巴西乐坛所的刺激，是绝无仅有的一次。甚至到了这个资讯爆炸，音乐走进杂交融合的地球村时代，Os Mutantes 的音乐仍然留给无数后进们无法计算的影响。
Os Mutantes组成於60 年代晚期的圣保罗，包括三个成员，分别为女主唱 Rita Lee Jones，Sergio Diassettled 与 Arnaldo Baptista。他们的音乐融合了亚买加 Ska，英美迷幻摇滚，还有Soul / Compact Jazz / Easy-Listening 等元素，并且活用了 Bossa Nova Guitar 的轻快慵懒与巴西乐种独有的细碎节拍切分，总的来说刚好扣合了彼时在巴西如火如荼的 MPB ( Musica Popular Brasileira )运动。想当然尔地，他们也与当时整个巴西摇滚乐圈里的先锋人物们，包括 Gilberto Gil，Caetano Veloso，Gal Costa 等交往热络，并且在词曲创作与现场演出各方面互相支援，为整个60 ~ 70 年代的巴西流行音乐维新运动写下了弥足珍贵且光灿的一页历史。

Via Láctea is the follow-up to Lô Borges' self-titled solo debut from 1972. During the seven years that separated the albums Lô Borges and Via Láctea , Borges had matured enormously as an artist, and this would be his peak performance. Via Láctea is filled with perfect, melodious pop songs characterized by Lô Borges' beautiful and instantly recognizable melodic style and voice. Although the sound of Lô Borges' music is quite unique, it is clearly influenced by the English and American pop and rock scenes and also by the folk music of his home state, Minas Gerais. As often is the case with the music of Lô Borges, the album has a somewhat dreamy atmosphere that is accentuated by fine lyrics, often written by Márcio Borges . As usual on Lô Borges' albums, fellow Clube da Esquina members Beto Guedes and Milton Nascimento made some contributions. Lô Borges' sister, Solange Borges , also makes a rare appearance on the fine "Vento de Maio." The marvelous "Clube da Esquina No. 2," which was an instrumental track on the 1972 album Clube da Esquina , gained lyrics on this album's version which were written by Márcio Borges . Another fantastic track is the slightly Beatlesque "Equatorial," with its beautiful but unusual-sounding electric organ. Other memorable songs on this album are "Via Láctea," "Chuva Na Montanha," and "Ela." These songs have all become classics within Brazilian popular music, and overall Via Láctea is a great pop album by any standards.
