Too slow to disco Brasil

"Brazil's rich music history has been extensively anthologised over the years with compilations and reissues aplenty documenting native styles like samba and bossa nova alongside various flirtations with foreign imports like psych and funk. You'll be hard pressed to find much, if any, archival coverage beyond the mid-70s, however ... Too Slow To Disco have form in serving up corrective compilations from less fashionable eras, having previously issued celebrated odes to mid-70s West Coast rock and 80s AOR. For this latest offering - concentrating chiefly on the latter decade's Brazilian boogie scene - they've chosen Ed Motta as their helmsman. Nephew of soul legend Tim Maia and one of Brazil's most successful MPB, soul, jazz and AOR artists in his own right, Motta's own music has often been informed by a taste for the immaculately-crafted, a tenet that's shared by many of his choices here".
