Product Description
Product Description
The biggest hit Deodato and CTI ever had: the 1973 #3 LP featuring the bossa-nova arranger's groovy spin on Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001) . That #2 smash joins an electric-piano-heavy Debussy adaptation; his fusion version of Baubles, Bangles and Beads , and some stellar originals featuring Stanley Clarke, Billy Cobham and Ron Carter. 180-gram vinyl with gatefold sleeve and digital download card!

Good music by a great artist, using a unique style. Easy listening music that anyone would enjoy - I have admired him for years.
Format:Audio CD
From note-one to note-last, this is a masterpiece. It can be headphone music, background music, party music, dinner music or sexy time music - it fits all moments. If you are coming here from a background of Electronica, Ambient, Trip-hop - you'll get this. Think - Moon Safari, think - Simple Things, but made with a Bosa Nova sexy, instrumental and zero electronics. It is a fantastic record! And though, "Also Sprach Zarathurstra" will always be the defining track here - the rest of the album is equally groove-tastic. This is a lousy review I'm writing - but it is my sincere hope that if you're afraid of the words Jazz, Instrumental, Fusion or Bosa Nova - that you might brave your way to giving this a listen, I have a feeling - you'll be glad you did.

Some magic from Brazilia. Deodato is an excellent arranger. I have nearly all his work on LP or CD. This is one of his best work. Also Sprach... and Baubles, bangles and beads are marvelous. Close your eyes, grab a liquer and up to Copacabana!

Nostalgia time
It appears that the reviewers of this album disagree primarily on the issue of which cut is best. I'll put my bet on Prelude To The Afternoon of a Faun although I understand why... Read more

Zarathustra spake Brazilian
One of my early exposures to music from Brazil was a jazz musician named Eumir Deodato. Someone recommended that I pick up "Prelude". Read more

The "hit" is not the reason for the purchase
Deodato scored with a jazzy version of "Also Sprach Zarathustra," but it is not the song from "2001" that makes this album a must-have. Read more

I actually like just about all of Deodato's 70's releases. I felt he was at his musical best during those times. Read more

Did he ever make a sub-par album?
Well, this one certainly is above par. I'm 22 years old and am now really starting to get into jazz from the seventies, coming out of study in bebop and postbop and am enjoying... Read more
