Quietly, but firmly dragging Brazil’s Tropicalia into the future.

We Say...
Domenico Plus 2 is the second part of a trilogy of albums by Moreno Veloso (son of Caetano), drummer Domenico Lancellotti and Kassin. Moreno’s album, Moreno Plus Two, came out in 2000, and Kassin’s Plus Two album, Futurismo, came out in Brazil in 2006 — judging by Domenico & Moreno’s albums, it’s worth waiting for. The drummer and percussionist of the trio, Domenico mixes electronica and drum n’ bass grooves with fractured samba and bossa nova rhythms and adds light, double-tracked vocals that seem as natural and effortless as the beats themselves. “Solar,” “Aeroporto 77” and “Possibilidade” are particularly lovely, but that’s just for starters. There’s a sense of ease and naturalness to the lovely bass lines, the keyboard jabs and the finely picked guitars, and the melodies have the soaring inevitability of Milton Nascimento’s tunes circa “Cluba da Esquina.” Without fuss or fanfare the Plus Twos have quietly, firmly dragged Brazil’s Tropicalia into the future.

They Say...
This is the second part of a musical trilogy that began in 2001 with the release of Music Typewriter by Moreno + 2. Now it's drummer Domenico Lancellotti's turn to step out front. The original idea of making it a bossa nova trio obviously became sidetracked, as the album veers into idiosyncratic experimentalism right from the start. But there are infectious rhythms throughout, even as the tracks bleed into one another, and a low-key Brazilian funkiness pervades the whole album. As planned, the rhythms are vital to the whole record, even more than the melodies (which show their face subtly rather than traditionally), whether made by man or machine. It's a record of exploration, both in ideas and arrangements (at one point electric piano and cello combine on a line that manages to be funky and achingly beautiful at the same time). But it's a disc that demands several listens to bring out its delights, and here the devil really is in the details, which need to be examined. It's far from easy listening, but well worth the effort. Just don't expect anything like Moreno Veloso's album.
