Tanto Tempo

Ei

Snooze, lacks the aura that older Bossanova has. DNF

Spa music.

The musical equivalent to a washing machine

DO NOT waste your time.

na ja... finde ich nicht besonders spannend und das ist für mich auch kein Album, das ich unbedingt kennen muss

well, if that's not the soundtrack to boring lazy rich kids beach parties. boring.

Just not a genre I enjoy at all.

Nothing here was designed for me, and that's okay, not everything has to be aimed at me. I don't like the music, I understand very few of the lyrics. It's a lazy, lay around in the sun type of record. Nothing here is bad, it just isn't made for me.

Satser på at dette er første og siste lytt.

Did not enjoy. I’m not a fan of Bossa Nova.

No. No lo soporto, no es lo mío. Quizás exagero y no es tan malo, pero no tiene nada que me guste.

Why is this special? It’s the dead of winter right now and the last thing I want to hear is samba music

With this we drive far away from my taste. Surely ambient but I can't relax or work to sound like that.

Oooo, this is not my speed at all. Coffeehouse mellow cabaret jazz in…Portuguese? I hate this. 1/5

It's not bad, but has my life been enhanced in any way by listening to it? I'd have to say no.

Hard pass

It's really not my thing. Respect for the album though.

Genuine waste of my time.

*2000. Brazilian jazz. *Sounded like music you'd hear on a night out in Cuba. *Fun, but you have to listen in a specific atmosphere, not driving to/from work... RATING - 4/10

Simply a boring Bossa Nova A album.

Easy listening foreign-language music Not my thing at all

This album is quite hard to find on Spotify and YouTube for some reason, but I managed. By my rules I have to listen to every track on an album, and a handful were missing, which I had to hunt down elsewhere. Honestly I wish I hadn't bothered. I hate this. The softness of samba over trip-hop backing, things I detest. I know that I (and listeners in general) compain that there is too much Britpop, for example, on this list, but I really think there is too much Brazilian samba also. I was sick of this halfway through the first track. I see that tracks from this and the elder Gilberto are used on the soundtrack of Eat Pray Love, which is the saccharine spiritual home they deserve. Vomit-inducing, made me want to rip my ears off.

Did not understand. Did not like.

The torture continues with what appears to be a BOSSA NOVA album from the year of our lord 2000. I wish I could capitalize years for emphasis. This genre needed to be left in the 60s with this singer’s father. Whatever. Here we go again. Samba Da Bencao - Gentle and boring. Music to play in an overpriced cafe, as a dog whistle to those in the know that they are being absolutely rinsed for the lousy coffee and microwaveable pastries. August Day Song - Hey! It’s a day on August!!! What a fortuitous circumstance. The last of its kind, as this song felt like being lost in a shuttered department store, where the mannequins are alive and want to teach you about interest rates. I am so bored. Tanto Tempo - The boy from Chimpanzeema. I think we all remember THAT Olympics!! Luge will never be the same. Sem Contencao - *SNOOOORE* *mee mee mee mee mee* *SNOOOORE* *mee mee mee mee mee* Mais Feliz - Celebratory Corn song. Presumably. My Portuguese is rusty. Alguem - How I pronounce “album” after listening to 4 straight albums with an average rating of 1.5. My brain is mush. This album is so dreadfully dull. My brain is melting. So Nice (Summer Samba) - The song was called “So Nice” so they named it twice, because it’s a bad name. Lonely - You deserve to be lonely because this is your musical output. Bananeira - This is the song everybody was freaking out about on the RYM. It has a pulse, which is better than we can say about the preceding 8 patients who were DOA after the horrible samba incident at SambaFest 2012. After literally 20 seconds, this is another goner. Samba E Amor - UGHHHHHHHHHH Close Your Eyes - Ok. Deal. ZZZZZZZZZZZ HONK-SHOOOOOO HONK-SHOOOO 0 HIGHLIGHTS: Restful slumber. Finally.

A real snoozer

1 - So bland

I'm sorry, an album not in English is not something I need to listen to before I die. If I don't understand it, I'm supposed to just listen to the music? I don't think so

found it mildly aggravating

This is a pointless reworking of Gilberto compositions by her daughter. All spirit of the original has been lost.

Another pointless inclusion on this weird list.

Nope, way too jazzy.

???? Speaking English may have helped.

Boring.

Good music to drive you to suicide

Mit der Auswahl der letzten Alben will mich offenbar jemand vergraulen! Passt wieder nicht! Tante Tempo schleicht so vor sich hin! Blödes Wortspiel, ich weiß, aber mehr fällt mir dazu nicht ein.

Elevator musik

Havde glemt den før den var færdig, sorry!

I cannot get into samba or Bossa nova or whatever this is. Beautiful voice, though.

It’s okay, I guess. It didn't make me feel anything but it’s nice enough. “(Serbian Producer) Suba died from smoke inhalation while saving the newly recorded album from a studio fire.” Wait, what? What the fuck? For this fucking lobby music? Fucking hell.

Didn't enjoy it much.

Pretty boring album. I can't point out any reason this is a must listen before you die. I don't think I will even remember this one when I complete the full list. Maybe the producer dying from trying to save the album from a studio fire gets you something but should have let it burn...0.8.

Nah

Meh

maybe good as background music but I couldn't even finish it

I could have died the day before hearing this album and been ok.

Loved working to it. But so forgettable. But not bad at all. Strong 1.

No me gusto

Not for me

Awful

Discotecque blaw-zay sounding elevator muzak. Nah, I'll pass... I'll let it spin tho...

Not my thing

Muito fofo ter um álbum brasileiro mas tá aí um gênero que eu não gosto. Música de núcleo rico de novela da globo passeando pelo Leblon

Manoel Carlos. Só tá aqui pq é nascida nos eua. preguiça. tem mil outros albuns br pra estar aqui. desculpa luigi

More muzak -- nope to this one

She has a nice enough voice, but this is one of the most uninteresting pieces of music I’ve ever heard. Music is supposed to make you feel something, and all this album made me feel was bored.

Lyttede ikke færdigt - får kvalme af Bossa..!

Elevator music.

Couldn't find it anywhere. Shame

Picture the scene: you're enjoying the warmth of the early evening Mediterranean sun. You have a view of the sea, and a mojito to sip as you contemplate life. In that context, this album is passable background music. I listened to it on a crowded commuter train in London on a frosty November day, with a child kicking me. In that context it is not what I wanted. 1 star

Ngl I skimmed through this, it’s fine for background music but not something like I’d ever choose

Not really my vibe

Thank Christ I listened to this album before I died. I truly dont know what my life would be like if i was never blessed with this groundbreaking album.

Dreadful

Not that interesting

I saw her about five years ago at Womad and it was pleasant enough, the wife nodded off and I think I went with one of the boys to get a tofu burger so you know...She did a lovely cover of Neil's Harvest Moon I do remember that. This somniferous snoozefest, this languid lounge music, who needs sleeping pills or podcasts about precipitation when you can pop Bebel on to set you adrift on memories bliss of days long gone, the days before you were stuck listening to records like this. zzzzzzzzzzzzz When I woke back up after a lovely little snooze, she was still singing so I went and read her Wiki notes and they reckon she's sold 2.5 million records. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

neat, not for me

This ain't it

I didn't dislike this album but also don't really see why it's included on this list. It just feels like very run-of-the-mill bossa nova/easy listening music. Sounds like something you'd hear in a Starbucks or an elevator. That sounds harsh but again, this isn't horrible, just unremarkable. Standout Tracks: N/A

pretty good, just a little blah for me.

Tried. Could not make it through to the end.

Good music probably but not my taste

Fuck this album. Should of left it in the fire and jibbed it right off. Not on Spotify so I had to go and find each song on YouTube and it it disconnected me from fifa. Today can fuck off. Can’t wait to hear Morrissey tomorrow because it will cheer me up.

This album honestly didn't do too much for me at all.

Another addition to the coffee shop playlist

This album was in Spanish which makes it difficult to enjoy. The singer has a good voice and felt Norah jones Esque. Overall it’s value was lost on me. 1.9/10

What

Relaxing music, but beyond that didn't get much out of it.

Shit

Nothing here was designed for me, and that's okay, not everything has to be aimed at me. I don't like the music, I understand very few of the lyrics. It's a lazy, lay around in the sun type of record. Nothing here is bad, it just isn't made for me.

I like foreign music, but not enough to listen to entire albums in a sitting. There are some cool grooves here, but not understanding the words leaves it feeling shallow and I feel disconnected.

Yep, dope crunchy and raw sounds.
