Great grooves from Jackson Conti -- not a dude, but a duo -- one that features Madlib teamed with Mamao, drummer from the legendary Azymuth! The album's got a really unique feel -- one that mixes Madlib's chunky, fuzzy style of production with some of the cleaner, jazzier Azymuth grooves of late -- a combination that shouldn't work so well, but which comes across with really amazing results! There's a bit of beats on the set, but a fair bit of the percussion is acoustic too -- making for more warmth than before from Madlib -- almost a transplantation of the Yesterday's New Quintet sound to the sunnier Rio scene. Keyboards have a strong role too -- often with the sort of edgey, compelling tones you'd hear on the first few Azymuth recordings of the 70s -- and other instrumentation includes bits of guitar, flute, sax, and other well-placed touches -- but all used in weird ways that are somewhere between typical jazz and Brazilian modes.
