Editorial Review: Bebel Gilberto appears to be the figurehead of 21st-century bossa nova, so it's only fitting she should be the subject of one of the biggest 21st-century trends, the remix. But when the remixes are done as well as this, it actually adds to the original album. Her languid, sensual vocals are still the cornerstone, but Rae & Christian's more upbeat take on "Bananeira" propels the song to the dance floor, while Trüby Trio evoke the shantytown favelas, home of samba, on the percussive "Sem Contencao." A couple of the tracks might seem more like limp Sade than tropical Bebel, but for the most part there's plenty of invention occurring, as with Da Lata's gorgeous interpretation of "August Day Song." In addition to all of the aforementioned, King Britt, Ananda Project, and 4hero are among the studio whizzes who lend their high-profile talents to Gilberto, making Tanto Tempo into something reborn. --Chris Nickson

Rating: - Beautiful Lounge Music
As a DJ, I acquired this album after viewing the list of remixers and knowing of Bebel Gilberto. I did not listen to the original album, but don't really think it's a matter of one album being "better" than the other. I regularly use tracks from this album in my sets - particularly for late in a cocktail hour when people are settled in and feeling good, and things can get kicked up a notch in tempo and volume. My favorite remixes on this album are Chateau Flight's "August Day Song", Chari Chari's ... Read More
Rating: - 3 and 1/2 stars...
I stumbled across this compilation at my local Goodwill. Familiar with the name Bebel Gilberto, if not her music, I picked it up having recognized Peter Kruder as one of the remix artists. So I come to this not as one who knows her music but as a techno geek who loves such artists as Thievery Corporation and Kruder & Dorfmeister (half the duo being the Peter Kruder noted above) who have introduced me to a collection of artists I'd never otherwise hear.

As "Tanto Tempo" is a great album,so is its remixed version.It's interesting to hear how different DJs handle Bebel Gilberto's exuberant work.They give a new spin to bossa nova.If you enjoyed the original versions,you'll like this one!
The highlights include Rae&Christian's version of "Bananaeira",Truby Trio's trippy "Sem Contencao"&Monoaural's take on "Mais Feliz." The three versions of "August Day Song" from Chateau Flight,King Britt,and Da Lata give it three different flavors,of which Chateau ... Read More

I bought this CD for one track - Tanto Tempo, remixed by Peter Kruder, which combines the best of Kruder's work and Bebel's work. It is sublime! TThe other tracks vary from average to good.
Rating: - This is SEXY and TRIPPY... New Brazil is here, and it's good, REAL GOOD !
These remixes make of this album an incredible accomplishment. It is a remarkable combination of electronic music and sexy bossa nova. If you like downtempo/midtempo lounge music, please give this one a try. It will amaze you. This CD is sooo good, it can actually be the beginning of a new music genre all on its own: SEXELECTROBOSSA.
A very talented crew of master DJ's/Producers like Rae & Christian, Trüby Trio, and Peter Kruder, to name a few, have made of this album a true masterpiece. But ... Read More
