"Brazil 70 unearths a fascinating refusenik musical world of artists trying to bend inflexible rules, prepared to run the risk of prison and torture in the process. There's a lot of bravery on display during Brazil 70, but you can admire someone's bravery without necessarily wanting to hear them sing. Happily, Brazil 70's strength lies less in the stories it tells than the music it contains, which for the most part would sound fantastic regardless of the circumstances in which it was made. Gal Costa's horn-laden funk, the romantic swoon of Nelson Angelo and Joyce's two tracks, the nagging, cyclical melody of Jaime Alem and Nair de Candia's 'Passara': this is music to lose yourself in, which was presumably the point for the people who made it and bought it first around. It may have been the cure for the world's biggest hangover, but it turns out to have tasted surprisingly sweet." GUARDIAN (CD of the Week)

"Despite lasting little more than a year, Brazil's Tropicalia movement influenced a whole new generation of artists, most of whom are included on this compilation. Fusing folk, rock, funk and psychedelia and just about anything else with countercultural philosophy and radical opposition to the oppressive dictatorship then governing the country, these songs are bold both in terms of form and content. A truly inspiring collection." UNCUT
