MojoApr 20, 2012The highlights are among the closing duets, however, with both men warming to their task on a sinuous Um Canto de Afoxe Para O Bloco Do Ile and a delightfully rickety Heaven, Byrne screws up the chords, but they bring the house down nonetheless. [May 2012, p.87]
-
Mar 29, 2012Veloso still sounds as smooth and warm as on his 70s recordings that helped spearhead the Tropicália movement.
-
MagnetApr 19, 2012Better still is hearing Byrne's mincing yelp and Veloso's flickering vocals as one entity as it winds its way weirdly through the calm breezes of Talking Heads' "Heaven" as well as a small bunch of flowery nu-brazilian classics and cuts penned by both composers. [#86, p.59]
-
Mar 19, 2012While the two don't always match up exactly in terms of presentation, by the end, Byrne's nerdy rock and Veloso's airy sonnets prove highly complementary to each other, especially in tandem.
-
UncutApr 6, 2012The pair became friends and, on this memorable acoustic show, a great double act. [May 2012, p.83]
-
Mar 14, 2012The potential sparks that one expects from such a pairing take a while to ignite.
-
Apr 13, 2012Live at Carnegie Hall may be forgettable, but it's a harmless and occasionally pleasing aside in the oeuvre of two undeniably necessary artists.
