Editorial Review: Album Description: Bebel Gilberto's acclaimed album Tanto Tempo is the source for this collection of remixes – ranging from downtempo to danceable – by some of today's most groundbreaking producers, including Peter Kruder (of Kruder & Dorfmeister), Trüby Trio, Rae & Christian, King Britt, Faze Action, 4hero and more. Amazon.com: Bebel Gilberto appears to be the figurehead of 21st-century bossa nova, so it's only fitting she should be the subject of one of the biggest 21st-century trends, the remix. But when the remixes are done as well as this, it actually adds to the original album. Her languid, sensual vocals are still the cornerstone, but Rae & Christian's more upbeat take on "Bananeira" propels the song to the dance floor, while Trüby Trio evoke the shantytown favelas, home of samba, on the percussive "Sem Contencao." A couple of the tracks might seem more like limp Sade than tropical Bebel, but for the most part there's plenty of invention occurring, as with Da Lata's gorgeous interpretation of "August Day Song." In addition to all of the aforementioned, King Britt, Ananda Project, and 4hero are among the studio whizzes who lend their high-profile talents to Gilberto, making Tanto Tempo into something reborn. --Chris Nickson Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Disagree with the CriticismI disagree strongly with the criticism here. Those who say that it lacks originality should note that the title clearly says REMIXES. You're not going to hear brand new songs - that's really not the point of a remix album! And I don't think it takes away from the original at all. It's very refreshing! It's really neat how Bebel's buttery smooth voice washes over you to create a tranquil calm setting in the original, but in the remixes, it's exciting and upbeat but still has the same character. Same great music for 2 very different atmospheres. Rating:  - Mixed results: a track-by-track reviewIn the olden days, to remix an album meant creating a new mix from the master tapes that sounded close to the original, but with minor changes in instrumental balance, equalization, and greater clarity. Today, a remix usually means taking pieces of the original tracks (discarding others), looping and combining them with new beats, synth tracks and backing instruments. Increasingly this means messing with the harmonic structure of the song -- i.e. the chords behind a vocal melody in a remix may be quite different than the original mix. This at times produces interesting results, but some remixers have a bit of a tin ear and create a bit of dissonance or at least a weird combination as new and old instrumental lines are combined with vocals. ...

I did not listen to the original album, but don't really think it's a matter of one album being "better" than the other. I regularly use tracks from this album in my sets - particularly for late in a cocktail hour when people are settled in and feeling good, and things can get kicked up a notch in tempo and volume. My favorite remixes on this album are Chateau Flight's "August Day Song", Chari Chari's "Tanto Tempo" and "Bananeria" by Rae & Christian. The lush arrangements and beautiful voice of Bebel Gilberto transport the listener to an afternoon at the beach in sunny Rio de Janeiro. Highly recommended! Rating: - 3 and 1/2 stars...I stumbled across this compilation at my local Goodwill. Familiar with the name Bebel Gilberto, if not her music, I picked it up having recognized Peter Kruder as one of the remix artists. So I come to this not as one who knows her music but as a techno geek who loves such artists as Thievery Corporation and Kruder & Dorfmeister (half the duo being the Peter Kruder noted above) who have introduced me to a collection of artists I'd never otherwise hear. Compilations such as this remix album are a great way to listen to something new. It's obvious that the backbone of these mixes is Bebel Gilberto's music and it is quite lovely, though I will have to venture forth and obtain the original of this album. But to compare ...

The highlights include Rae&Christian's version of "Bananaeira",Truby Trio's trippy "Sem Contencao"&Monoaural's take on "Mais Feliz." The three versions of "August Day Song" from Chateau Flight,King Britt,and Da Lata give it three different flavors,of which Chateau Flight&King Britt are the best.It's no wonder Putumayo chose King Britt's version of "August Day Song" for its "Brazilian Lounge" compilation.Peter Kruder's version of "Tanto Tempo" is perfect for a sweaty,throbbing dancefloor.Mario Caldato's take ...
