about

"A brilliant cross between Flora Purim's '70s work with Chick Corea & Return to Forever and mid-'90s chill-out music, 1995's Speed of Light is one of the Brazilian-born singer's finest albums... a seamless blend of 12 smoothly danceable tracks combining Brazilian jazz; spacious, fusion-based arrangements heavy on the percussion and synthesizers; and cool, contemporary beats and loops. The combination works effortlessly, since so much acid jazz and ambient house music already cribs from '60s bossa nova and '70s fusion. Throughout it all, Purim's still-astonishing voice remains at center stage, whether murmuring softly on the slinky 'Portal da Cor' or trilling wordlessly on the hypnotic 'The Goddess of Thunder'... Speed of Light is essential listening for both Brazilian jazz and chill-out fans". - AMG

UNTITLED (Rise)

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
