Astrud Gilberto
The Balearic Sound Of...
Once again, the Sunkissed camp get it spot on with this loud-pressed 12'' collection of Balearic classics from Brazilian songstress Astrud Gilberto. Opens with the original version of mesmerising dancer ‘Black Magic’, a great DJ weapon that got the Tangoterje edit seal of approval a few years back. Followed by Balearic favourite ‘Beginnings’, a jazzy take on Chicago’s classic hit which spins out into eight minutes of sensual bliss. Turn over for big Daniel Wang play, the obscure LP track ‘All I’ve Got’, a glorious low-slung floor-filling gem produced by none other than Salsoul Orchestra founder Vince Montana who also supplies the sublime disco version of the song that made Astrud a household name ‘The Girl From Ipanema’. Lastly comes her cool and breezy version of the Bossanova jazz standard ‘Agua De Beber’. Beautiful stuff.
