City of God (Cidade de Deus)-Soundtrack 2002
The soundtrack to Fernando Meirelles' hard-hitting, gritty feature film about life in Rio de Janeiro's favela slums. An excellent collection of vintage "Black Rio" Brazilian soul, including tracks by funk pioneer Tim Maia, crooner Hyldon and Wilson Simonal's hipsterdelic, Ray Charles-ish "Nao Vem Que Nao Tem," which was previously anthologized on the Six Degrees "SAMBA SOUL '70" compilation album (which is also very good). Also included are sweet samba tunes from songwriter Cartola," an elder of the Mangueira samba school, and the anthemic "Metamorfose Ambulante," by rocker Raul Seixas (who was a pretty amazing character). It's a fine set of classic songs to start with, but the new material that augments and connects these tracks is also pretty cool, '70s-styled funksploitation instrumentals by Antonio Pinto and Ed Cortez, along with a new samba-soul song by Seu Jorge, one of the best new artists in the style. This is a really groovy collection, definitely worth checking out!Reveiw by Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com

Dimitri From Paris - Cruising Attitude [2004]
French dance music has always looked on the sunnier side of life, in particular the jazz-inflected house of artists such as St Germain. Dimitri From Paris also aspires to that school of thought.The style is predominantly jazzy, with more nods to the lounge than the dancefloor. Okinawa Love, featuring Kisen Horino, is a gorgeously paced, piano led track with an airy theme. Live Jazz is just that, some evocative brush strokes moving into a deep house beat and subtle piano - very St Germain. The feathery voice of Victor Davies adds some soul to This Is Your Life, one of the stronger vocal tracks, while the most daring departure is in Le Soundtrack, introduced by timpani and given a wordless, Goldfrapp-style wail over the top, most effective.DJ Dynamo Dimitri still brings you stellar lounge sounds and an overall feel of being in another country sippin' on Martinis and soakin' up the sun. This CD "takes flight" with its impressive line-up of vocalists and dreamy cinematic orchestrations.
