"Excellent latin break beat carnival from France... The Boyz of Brazil are featured on compilation-cd-s like 'Trip do Brasil' (also highly recommended). And after this release they had their final breakthrough as the Gotan Project. This polished double cd could really be a single cd, three songs are simply remixed: 'The land of make believe (11:03) on the second is really a long version of 'A terra do fazer crer' on the first cd and chica boom is done twice on the second cd. So is O nosso amor. So, if you add things up, there are really only 9 really different anthems here. Nevertheless, each and every track are HOT, instant floorfillers with no exception. Bossa Nova, revamped in a new outfit, made for the 21th century. Not as pure as Nicola Conte, but more aimed at the dancefloor than a cocktailparty. The tracks are really excellent covers from Brazilian classics, with the unevitable 'hi-fi trumpet' as the most famous one. Get this record, and your party will be a huge success..."
