This mostly acoustic record is probably most famous for its medley featuring Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," as well as its tunes by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Cole Porter. In these less elaborate arrangements it's a pleasure to hear Caetano Veloso's vocal ability shine through. The aforementioned Jackson-Lennon/McCartney medley makes much more sense than one would think when placed in Veloso's capable hands.
If you enjoy the more stripped-down Veloso records such as QUALQUER COISA, this album would be an excellent addition to your collection. It's interesting to note that even with just an acoustic guitar, Veloso hints at the eclectic cultural cross-pollination he would explore more fully with records such as CIRCULADO and TROPICALIA 2.
Package includes lyric sheet in both Portugese and English.
Recorded at Vanguard Studios, New York, New York in September 1985.
Personnel: Caetano Veloso (vocals, guitar); Toni Costa (guitar, background vocals); Marcelo Costa, Armando Marcal (percussion).
Mojo (Publisher) (7/00, p.133) - "...Proof both that the man was one of the finest talents his country had ever produced and that Tropicalia could be exported without losing its effects..."

Purchase Caetano Veloso CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Elliott Smith CD (1995)
Caetano Veloso
 $12.59   
Oregon-based Elliot Smith was a long shot underdog for commercial success. A decidedly grim-natured whisperer, Smith is the antithesis of Oregon's celebrated grunge scene. He eschews fuzz-laden power chords and rhythmic sludge for stark acoustics and hushed intensity. The ...

Caetano Veloso
$12.45  
This singer/songwriter can say more with a whisper than most folks can with a scream. The gently insinuating despair of Smith's work communicates volumes about the heartbreak and alienation that is the bane of 20th century boys with too much time on their hands. ...

Caetano Veloso
$11.65
elliott smith played in a few great rock bands before becoming a well known artist in his own right- in the mid nineties. the most notable of those bands was portland, oregons' heatmiser.in 1993, after releasing a scortching hot heatmiser 7" single on cavity search, elliotts' then girlfriend delivered a gorgeously sparse and hushed acoustic record of elliotts' 4-track "kitchen table" recordings to cavity search records - and they talked him into releasing it as "roman candle" in 1994.after several critically acclaimed cds and a spotlight in gus van sants' award winning "good will hunting" movie/soundtrack - elliott smith has become a household name headed for legendary status even before his 30th birthday!the future looks bright and the fans are coming from all points on the globe!
In a world full of self-pitying shoegazer troubadours celebrated for their own misery, Elliot Smith stands apart from the pack. At the time of this release, who could have guessed that this unassuming songpoet, with his hushed songs of alienation and turmoil, would receive national attention in a few scant years? The seeds of greatness that Elliot Smith would soon achieve are prominent on ...
| | Elliott Smith Xo CD (1998)
Caetano Veloso
$11.99
The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening the instrumental brightness are Smith's Nick Drake-ish whisper and his thoroughly downcast lyrics, which cast him squarely in the Mark Eitzel/Smog camp of unrelenting self-effacement and misery. The combination of Smith's internal angst and his melodic ...
| | Elliott Smith Figure 8 CD (2000)
Caetano Veloso
$11.99
On his first record since his Oscar nomination courtesy director Gus Van Zandt's use of his music in the film "Good Will Hunting," Elliott Smith returns with another album's worth of gorgeous misery. Like Nick Drake before him, Smith has the ability to conjure beautifully poignant pathos, wrapping it in an elaborately arranged package worthy of a George Martin or Brian Wilson. Working with Beck/Foo Fighters producer Rob Schnapf, Smith uses Abbey Road Studios for some of these sessions, dressing up his tortured lyrics with orchestral arrangements that avoid any hint of mawkishness.
Whether mourning a busted-up romance in "Everything Reminds Me Of Her," shying away from love on "In the Lost and Found (Honky Bach)," or burrowing into their own isolation with "Can't Make A Sound," ...
| | Elliott Smith From A Basement On The Hill CD (2004)
Caetano Veloso
$14.49
Conceived as an ambitious double album, FROM A BASEMENT ON THE HILL was ultimately narrowed down to 15 tracks by Smith's close friends, producer Rob Schnapf (Beck's MELLOW GOLD, Smith's X/O) and musician Joanna Bolme (the Minders, Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks). The result is a heartbreaking collection of songs that plays like a retrospective of Smith's entire career. "Strung Out Again" reflects the early edge of ROMAN CANDLE; "Last Hour" recalls the bittersweet melodies ...
