Various Artists - Bossa Nova & The Rise Of Brazillian Music In The 1960's (Soul Jazz Records)

Another great release from UK record label Soul Jazz Records. Forget the cocktail-sipping tropical image that bossa nova became, bossa nova’s origins in Brazil are that of a stunning modernist and revolutionary music that reflected the radical and exciting idealism of the country at the start of the 1960s. This music is the real deal!

This two disc compilation charts the rise of the events that led to the arrival of this new musical movement and what happened next.

Various Artists - 22 Songs About Football (Global Groovers)

Well with world cup fever gripping people the world, seems appropriate that we get a few decent tunes to go along with it and moos over at Global Groovers has put together this deadly little compilation CD. I literally laughed my ass off when I found this compilation, then upon listening to it I laughed my ass off some more. In saying that however, IT WORKS REALLY WELL!! Mad funny at points but some great tunes on it to. Check it out! (He's Dutch by the way - moos - at least I think he's Dutch....) :-D

From the Global Groovers site:

"Speaking of football, or soccer, whatever you prefer, I decided to make a collector about it. It begins with a track from a cd full of 78's collected by John Peel's wife. Nice old song, in the middle we have two African songs, one Colombian and another oldie with the Marx Brothers. On no.13 we have a track sung by no one less than Pelé, with Sergio Mendes and on 20 a quite bad Dutch caranaval song by our own Johan Cruyff, you wont believe your ears. Most songs are Brazillian and about the famous Rio-club Flamengo or Pelé, get it & spread it..."
