CD ReviewsBeating the World Away J. BRINSON | USA | 08/23/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I work at a computer most of the day yet my work is such that I must also interact with a lot of other people. When I need an escape I put on my headphones and run away with music. I picked this CD up on a whim because I like the title as I have always been drawn to drums. It has become my favorite escape as I beat back the stress of the day. I am transported by drums, guitars, and a myriad of sounds that can pick me up and carry me away like nothing else. If you want to walk on the wild side, be swept away by romance, seek the beauty of a rain forest, dance in the sunlight or the shadows, then this is your CD. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do." Brazil?? This should be called Worldbeat "Light" Douglas J. Hultsman | Corinth, Texas United States | 10/18/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "I liked the 1st Worldbeat release by Huff. But when I see the terms "Worldbeat" and "Brazil", I expect hot REAL Latin percussion, and lots of it. Sadly, this collection does not offer it.While the music on this second Huff offering(along with guitarist John Jezzro)is certainly polished, I just don't get Brazil from it. It reminds me more of a Mediterranean style of music, ala Mythos or Chris Spheeris' lighter releases like Europa or Eros. Nowhere do you find the catchy vocal scats or energetic guitar strumming that remind you of Brazil(you know, the kind that makes you feel like you're driving with the top down in Rio!).Furthermore, some tunes are diminished by the same unimaginative, boring drum programming that plagues so many of these "World music meets Western technology" forays. Chanting monks and shakuhachi flutes on some songs send me farther away from the feel of South America. Also, lush string arrangements "cloud over" some of the songs giving them a muzak feel and texture. Maybe this should have been called "Worldbeat II".Nonetheless, I still give this release 3 stars due to the pristine production values and 60 minutes worth of nice music. Just don't expect any new exciting ground to be broken here. I have recommended "BARAKA" instead of this one due to it's larger scope, with more exciting and varied soundfields." Great latin beat and feel. M. Vickers | FL USA | 05/12/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Very good cd. Lots of good rhythms and latin feel. I like listening to it while I'm driving."
