Includes liner notes translated and adapted by Gerald Seligman.
Even if Baden Powell had never recorded a single note, he'd be renowned as the composer (along with esteemed collaborator Vinicius De Moreas) of numerous bossa nova classics. Fortunately for fans of Brazilian music, Powell did indeed make a simultaneous career of committing his guitar instrumentals to tape. This compilation captures Powell's music in all its glory and deceptive simplicity.
Whether Powell is playing solo (the live "Euridice"), in a duet with flute ("Carinhoso"), or accompanied by a jazzy rhythm section ("Apelo"), it's his cascading guitar runs that dominate, with a symbiosis of melody, harmony, and rhythm that almost seems like the softer side of Ornette Coleman's "harmolodic" theories. More influenced by classical and flamenco traditions than his peer Joao Gilberto, Powell successfully combines bossa nova's lilting rhythm with a sweeping, South American romanticism throughout this definitive anthology.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.

CARPTREETheir second release "Superhero".A somewhat darker production from Carptree with the subtle finesse in arrangements you would recognize from the first album. Without stating the obvious, still one foot in the modern progressive and the other in a lot of different sounds and traditions. A wide diversity of songs reaching from frail brightness to sad darkness, from more fully orchestrated to lighter pieces. Due to the versatility you will not know the album until you've reached the last song. Depth in sound, more musicians and the trademark strength in composition, Carptree "Superhero" will please both the discerning listener and those with a sheer joy of good music.Please enjoyFOSFOR CreationReview from Rock Report"The core of Carptree is a duo hailing from Sweden, who are friends for life and got together in 1997 'to combine good, and sometimes even catchy, melodies with more dramatic and progressive arrangements'. At least, that's what the biography says, but it's quite right however. Carptree's self-titled debut album that appeared in 2001 was described as art pop in some reviews and prog-tinged pop in others. Opinions ranged from positive (because of the good combination of melody and added value) to quite negative (due to the 'synth and programmed feeling' of the record).That was two years ago. On "Superhero", the duo - still comprising both vocalist Niclas Flinck and keyboarder Carl Westholm - show what progress they have made in the meantime. The album's packed with over 60 minutes of easily digestible neo progressive soft rock with similarities to several genre pioneers as Genesis and Marillion, sometimes blended with a space rock feeling à la Porcupine Tree in their weirdest moments. "Into The Never To Speak Of" and "Malfunction" are examples of the latter, while the great opening sequence of the superb title track, "Father's House" and "Calm Sea Of Their Pupils" represents the progressive outlets of the band. The last song of this threesome especially is notable for its being well built up, which is one of the reasons why I also like "Host Us, Graft" so much, a song that perfectly blends contemporary with traditional progressive elements.Flinck and Westholm appealed to seven other musicians, called the No Future Orchestra for the opportunity, of which most of them were also ...
