Tron was one of my favorite science fiction movies when growing up in the ’80s. Now I can’t wait for the new movie: Tron Legacy to come out. Jeff Bridges reprises his role in the original movie 28 years later and the special effects are going to be so much better. I hope to catch this in IMAX 3D.
But what I am also excited about is that the soundtrack is done by the Parisian Electronic music duo Daft Punk. Check out their music video for the song Derezzed:
I’ve always considered that Amazon had these weird ways of correlating products to make their recommendations. Yesterday was no exception. I had bought an album a while ago by Ramiro Musotto called Sudaka: Some good mix of electronic, samba, techno dance, urban, hip hop, etc.
I received yesterday an Amazon email saying that since I had bought Sudaka then I should take a look at this newly released album from the Baden Powell Trio: The Frankfurt Opera Concert. The album was recored live at The Frankfurt Opera House back in 1975. As usual it had nothing to do with the Sudaka album, with the obvious exception that both (Baden Powell and Ramiro Musotto) are Brazilians.
Having said that, maybe Amazon does have a different way of associating products because indeed I loved the album. It literally blew me away. At this point I’ve heard the album at least 5 times. It’s been playing in my iTunes ever since I bought it. Almost every track is worth listening to. It reminded me at the feeling I got when I heard Rodrigo and Gabriela’s first album: unexpected, engaging and overall fantastic.
The opening “Valsa Da Euridice” is the perfect opening. Transitioning with “Asa Branca” and the melancholic “Samba Triste”. “Pescador” is absolutely beautiful. The acoustic bass in “Berceuse” is brilliant. The solo guitar in the first four minutes of “Variacao Sobre Canto de Ossanha” are just unbelievable.
This is an studio version of: “Canto de Ossanha” in youtube… enjoy!
Here’s to girl power! Paul Potts might have been the rage last year for ‘Britain’s got talent’, and this year also we have a budding opera singer (a 13 year old named Andrew Johnston) but it’s the electric string instrument quartet of Scala that’s impressing me.
