10 STARS FOR EUMIR DEODATO !!!!!!!!
Papetti | Mexico City | 08/09/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"WOW, THOSE 10 STARS, THE LEAST FOR THESE TWO ALBUMS IN ONE CD (HAPPY HOUR 1982) AND (MOTION 1985). HIS MUSIC IN THAT ERA WAS A FANTASTIC COMBINATION OF FUNK, POP AND JAZZ WITH A HINT OF ROCK;PLEASING PEOPLE IN BOTH ENDS OF THE EQUATOR: NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA.
ANOTHER GREAT ACHIEVEMENT IS THE FACT THAT THESE TWO ALBUMS HAD NOT BEEN REMASTERED INTO A CD EXCEPT IN JAPAN WHERE THEY ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE; BUT HERE WE HAVE THEM AVAILABLE ONCE AGAIN AT A GREAT AND AFFORDABLE PRICE; I'VE HAD THESE ALBUMS ON VINYL FOR YEARS AND AM SO GLAD TO SEE THEM ON CD WITHIN OUR REACH.
THE PIECE: "SWEET MAGIC" FROM THE HAPPY HOUR ALBUM IS ONE OF THOSE LANDMARKS FOR MANY OF US WHO LOVE BRAZILIAN JAZZ; CHECK IT OUT.
THE TRACKS?
1) HAPPY HOUR:
KEEP ON MOVIN'
HAPPY HOUR
JUST THIS ONE NIGHT
TEARS OF A CLOWN
SWEET MAGIC
KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY
I NEVER GET ENOUGH
2) MOTION:
S.O.S. FIRE IN THE SKY
NEVER KNEW LOVE
BUS STOP
MOTION
ARE YOU FOR REAL
MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD
ENJOY THESE LONG FORGOTTEN TREASURES !!!!!!!!!!!!!
