Bebel Gilberto Remixed by Bebel Gilberto. Stijn Van Hees. Ashley Baker. Purchasable with gift card. Simplesmente Tom Middleton Cosmos Mix O Caminho Guy Sigsworth Mix Aganju Latin Project Mix Winter Nuspirit Helsinki Reinterpretation Uptown Safari Jazz Mix Cada Beijo Thievery Corporation Mix Bebel Gilberto Remixed follows a certain pattern.
After the Brazilian songstress with the sacred genes scored a hit record with her modern classic Tanto Tempo in , her record label, Six Degrees, pieced together and released a remix album in its wake, Tanto Tempo Remixes.
While that remix album didn't come close to matching the magic of its source, it was a nice enough release, and a great number of fans simply were happy to have more Gilberto to enjoy, even if it was a piecemeal departure from the original Suba productions that had made Tanto Tempo so special.
Then, after Gilberto scored a hit record with her follow-up in , Bebel Gilberto , Six Degrees again pieced together and released a remix album in its wake, Bebel Gilberto Remixed. And again, while this remix album doesn't come close to matching the magic of its source, it's a nice enough release, and a great number of fans simply will be happy to have more Gilberto to enjoy, even if it is a piecemeal departure from the original breezy set of half-English, half-Brazilian Portuguese songs.
Piecemeal or not, Six Degrees did an expert job putting this collection of remixes together. You really can't scoff at the talent rounded up here; not only are these folks some of the best in their business, but for the most part, they're well suited for the breezy, slightly bossa style of the source material, with the Latin Project and John Beltran standing out as particularly intriguing participants. But no matter how promising all of this may seem, the fact of the matter is that the resulting album is a mixed bag.
Each producer steals his own respective show, putting his production front and center, which is the opposite of Bebel Gilberto , where the productions were subtle and spare. That's certainly not the case here; these productions are big and often dramatic, so much so that Bebel 's voice often seems like window dressing.
Such is the nature of such remix projects, though. Anyone who's sat through a good number of these such albums should know what to expect. That's why only beat heads, DJs, and diehard fans are likely to be overjoyed with Bebel Gilberto Remixed.
It's a nice enough release and Six Degrees did a commendable job, for sure, but most folks should stick with the source material. After all, Bebel Gilberto is a great album, if not quite on a par with the excellence of Tanto Tempo , so if you're understandably itching for more, you're better off going with the latter if you haven't already. And if you have both albums, why not try some other Brazilian artists of a similar style?
