Summary: The Samba Lover's Romantic Dream CD
Comment: This is my all-time favorite Brazil '66 album. Sexy, sensual, exudes a feeling of warm weather and warm emotions. Captivating rhythms, poetic, evocative lyrics, with lovely, intricate vocal and musical arrangements. A joy from beginning to end and a must-have for romantic evenings.

Summary: If You Can Own Only One Brasil 66 Album, Here It Is
Comment: Sergio Mendez and his talented musicians recorded many fine albums throughout the '60s, but Equinox may have been the apex. At a playing time of under thirty minutes, it is like life itself: rich, sweet, and short.

Summary: Yes, this IS their best!
Comment: Family friends introduced me to this album in the early '70's when I was in my early teens and I fell in love with it immediately. I wore that album out listening to it and eventually had to replace it. I even had it on an 8 track tape!! That thing was awful, but that didn't stop me from playing it. LOL!
I don't know what it is about this album, but every song is just... fabulous. The vocals, the melodies, the arrangements, they're all terrific and memorable.
After my turntable broke I never replaced it and I lost the cassette I made of the album. Over the past several years I forgot about this album, as it wasn't on cd then. While searching for something online the other day something made me think of it and I looked to see if it was downloadable. Then I thought, wait, let me see if it ever came out on cd and to my surprise and happiness it had! I ordered it and I can't wait for it to get here. Listening to the little snippets online leave me longing for more, for the real thing.
Yeah, it's short. Oh well, that's how the album was. Bonus tracks? A double cd? I don't know, that's not the album I remember, the album I want. I loved it just the way it was and will love it just the way it is when it FINALLY gets here. :-) I just wish I had discovered it again sooner!

Summary: This is the "real' greatest hits album!
Comment: I bought this album in 1966 and played it untill it turned to gray and then lost it in the shuffle of getting married ,kids and moving etc. I bought another copy,an LP. from a catalog for around$25.00 , I was very happy,now I see this on CD for half the price!! This album is tops! It's allways a favorite of mine ,it's one of those 60's "Bests" albums in the line of Pet Clarks "MyLove" with Tony Hatch arrangements and Beach Boys Pet Sounds,Beatles"Rubber Soul".....What an era... sigh..
