Azymuth – Biaozinho Carioca/ O Lance
£6.99
Brazilian legends Azymuth return to Far Out with a taster from their forthcoming album ëBrazilian Soulí (FARO091CD+DLP, out 20 October 2004), and what a sweet flavour it is ñ 12 inches of new classic samba-boogie! They prove that that fire within still burns bright even three decades on ñ the album and this single are a return to the scintillating form of ëJazz Carnivalí, ëDear Limmertzí, and countless other classics of the late 70s and early 80s.
Biaozinho Cariocaí is a swinging, vocoder-touched electro samba with echoes of ëDear Limmertzí, ripe with reminders of summer nights, driven by the delicacy of Bertramiís keys; whilst ëO Lanceí is boogie-inflected Brazilian funk at its greatest ñ bass, drums and keys collide in a crunching ultimatum to dancefloors everywhere. The heaviness of the backbeat, the sexy assurance of those chords ñ if this doesnít persuade you to move, nothing willÖ
Sold out!
