repress - folk-jazz composer/arranger arthur verocai was born in rio de janeiro. he has created challenging arrangements and compositions for brazilian artists jorge ben, ivan lins, leny andrade and gal costa. in 1972 verocai recorded a self-titled solo lp. it is a stunningly innovative effort. it puts verocai into a rarified field with the heavy string oriented music of charles stepney, david axelrod and frank zappa. released in a period marked by the brazilian military government, the album fared poorly. following its re-issue in 2003 the album has become a highly influential oft sampled classic (see ludacris, mf doom and little brother). the performance of this seminal 1972 record in its entirety brought the capacity luckmann crowd to a stand still. according to verocai, >he had never played the record, alive or dead!< the music has been mixed by verocai himself in rio. history turned on its head and musical justice served.

hypnotic and mesmeric, the haunting music that brazilian artist babe, terror makes belies its origins: originally conceived as a soundtrack to >cold saturday afternoons< at home and long, late night walks around his hometown of sao paulo, his tracks are not so much songs as compelling, unsettling aural landscapes, lush, cinematic stories rendered as washes of electronica, absorbing influences as disparate as 50s pop, tropicalia and cold wave and distilling them to their ghostly essence
