Song of the Day - March 9, 2006

It's time for a caipirinha and some Apollo Nove. The caipirinha is a hint that something Brazilian must be on my mind. Apollo Nove is the talented Brazilian producer who has put together a melange of tropical sounds in his release Rex Inexplicata Volans, which is Latin for unexplained flying thing. He is assisted with some mighty fine talent in the likes of Cibelle, Seu Jorge, Tita Lima, Holly, Fred 04 and Céu. The tropicalia sounds of "Inexplicata" transformed me into a mellow mood and made me wonder about the wisdom of living in Chicago in the winter. I love the spoken word intermixed with the singing and the keyboards. The slack key guitar and the nostagalic percussion pattern further contribute to the exotic nature of this track. If you are looking for something a little different to warm your soul, check out Apollo Nove. Click here to listen.
