Editorial Review: Album Description: Caetano Veloso's Ce is as bold as it is beguiling. Friend, collaborator and label-mate David Byrne calls it "an immersion in the land of experimental indie rock." Amazon.com: The adventurous veteran rarely fails to surprise, as Caetano Veloso continues to confound the easy-listening expectations that surround Brazilian music. Co-produced by Veloso's son, Moreno, and featuring the crisp, edgy backing of a band of three musicians a generation younger than Caetano, this is his version of a rock album. The freshness of the arrangements appeals throughout, from the propulsive "Rocks" with its frenetic guitar break through the tom-tom throb and call-and-response vocals of "Waly Salomão" and the spoken word, soaring harmonies, and art-house atmospherics of the closing "O Herói" ("The Hero"). Yet the supple vocals, languid balladry, and seductive sensuality (at times so lyrically explicit in translation it might make Prince blush) render this very much a Veloso album above all else. --Don McLeese Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Stripped Down, Raw, and Among Caetano's Absolute BestI heard Cê for the first time at about 40,000 feet over the Atlantic. The sound quality of the airline provided headphones left a lot to be desired, but what stuck with me most was the hushed drum and Beatles feel of "Minhas lagrimas". I liked what I'd heard enough to buy it upon returning to the US. Now that I've had a chance to hear it with proper sound quality, after just a few spins, it's quickly emerging as Caetano's best. At last count, I think I have about 15 of his ... Read More Rating: - TerrificI saw Caetano in Toronto not having heard this album, and not really sure what to expect. I'm a fan of his 60's and early 70's output, but the rest of his catalogue is a bit (ok - a lot) too slick or adult contemporary for my tastes. I was blown away by the show and by this new material - this is definitely the best stuff he's done since his classic 'tropicalia' period. His new young band has definitely absorbed a lot of 'non-Brazilian' music (garage, new wave, prog, post-punk) and the only thing ...

The most compacted, nasty treatments of his songs yet. And yet it's all still Caetano. His superb melodies are still there, insinuating themselves underneath all the fantastic new arrangement goodies. Lean and mean. You'll love it! Rating: - Sim Ce Bem !Caetano can't stop singing......And......Thank Goodness for that! Now......I only wish he'd start touring the USA again! Voce ouca Ce? Rating: - Cucurrucu Caetano!!!I went to his concert in Buenos Aires without having heard a single song from Ce and I was amazed at Caetano's new sound. His vitality is reflected both in his music and on stage. Gracias Caetano por enCANTARNOS! Browse for similar items by category:
