Jorge Ben "O Bidu: Silencio No Brooklyn" (Artistas Unidos, 1967) 
(Produced by Jorge Ben)
Wow! What a gorgeous record! Layered, lavish production, mixing '60s psych, blues and Herb Alpert-style pop with killer African percussion and slinky samba rhythms. One of his best, most creative and catchy albums, and worth looking hard for. Apparently, the backing band on this album is the rock-pop outfit, Os Fevers... at least that's the rumor, although this disc sounds much wilder and imaginative than anything I've heard them do elsewhere. In his autobiography, Tropical Truth, Caetano Veloso talks at great length about this album, how it anticipated many of the genre-crossing feats that the tropicalia crowd wanted to try, and how greatly he and Gilberto Gil admired Ben's amazing musical vision. (Unfortunately, the mastering on both the 1992 Movietone CD and the 2010 MP3 reissue is a bit iffy -- thin in one case, murky in the other. Still, this is worth picking up... Even with the crappy sound quality, this album is an absolute must-hear.) REVIEW FROM SLIPCUE.COM
