Pros: Very well done reissue of a historic bossa nova album. Sound quality is outstanding. Cons: It ended, I have to hit the play button again.
Terry Gilliam once wrote that his movie Brazil was not about a place, but a state of mind. Bossa Nova, a form of music that originated from Brazil is also more about a state of mind, than an actual place. Before I was born, a man named Joao Gilberto ...

This has got to be one of the best, if not the best CD, ever created. If I had to choose one CD to take on a desert island, it would be this one. This view is shared by a lot of people. This is coming from a teenager. This music is great for people...
Pros: I love the cool, easy beat mixed with the funky lyrics. Cons: The price was a bit steep, but I have not regretted a penny of it.
