TVFMC have been at the forefront of the Brazilian music resurgence in Australia. One of only a few bands in the country performing and writing in this style, their debut album is a reflection of the joy they find in this music, and the obvious love they have for it.Founding members Anje West & Kym Ambrose spent three months living in Brazil, studying songwriting, arranging and percussion. Their music teacher was the legendary producer/arranger & composer Alberto Farah. You can hear his work here: http://www.promusico.comThis is a beautiful c.d. recorded by musicians who are deeply passionate about where this music comes from. PLEASE NOTE: The band has almost sold out of its first pressing of Tranquilo. CDBaby will have only ten more copies to sell. Once these are gone, CDBaby won't have any more to sell. The cd won't be re-pressed until the band's second album is completed in January. If you really, really still want an album, get in touch with the band via their website. Who knows....there could be a few strays under the bed!"What I have to say about Kym is very simple, he is a fantastic composer, an outstanding musician, able to perform on the vibraphone in the highest artistic and technical levels. I'm very impressed with his musical approach to our Brazilian music, our grooves and harmonic concepts. Congratulations" . Alberto Farah"Kym is working in a particularly interesting way because there are very few vibraphonists playing in this style - as well as having a deep understanding of the rhythmic subtleties of samba and bossa nova, he is also a fluid and exciting jazz improviser" Jamie Clark, Lecturer, Qld Conservatorium of Music“Anje doesn’t only pick up a foreign song making it her own, she draws from aspects of Brazilian culture and really engages with them...........the sensuality and vibrancy of her style mixes well with the rhythm of Samba, transporting you to the heart of Rio de Janeiro. Her singing channels the soul of the music into a very pleasant experience.”Media Culture (Worldly Women review 2003 â€" World Beat Festival) View From Madeleine's Couch Tranquilo Songs | 1. | Historia do Samba |

This digitally remastered reissue of The Damned's JACK AND THE BEANSTALK features four bonus tracks, as well as a beautiful prism-effect front cover.
Five years after the Damned seemingly called it quits for good, and five years before Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible decided to give the band another go on 2001's Grave Disorder, Vanian and Rat Scabies found themselves working together on a recording project with Kris Dollimore (ex-Godfathers), Alan Lee Shaw (ex-Rings/Brains/Maniacs), and Moose (ex-New Model Army). Stuck for a name, someone figured, "Why not just call it the Damned?" and I'm Alright Jack and the Beanstalk became the first Damned studio album since Anything in 1986. One could honestly say with this release that Vanian picked up where the band left off in 1986, but given the low creative ebb of Anything, that's something short of a compliment. In the liner notes Scabies said, "I wanted to make a record that wasn't like a punk album," and this soggy mishmash of hard rock, goth, and art rock "succeeds" in that approach, lacking any of the fire, fervor, or snotty wit that made the Damned great. Even the dark pop smarts of the group's later-day singles such as "Under the Floor Again" or "Grimly Fiendish" escape the reconstituted Damned this time out, and the fact this album passed under the radar of many Damned fans is more a favor to them than anything else. ~ Mark Deming
