Azimuth (Remastered & Remixes)

Never released outside of Brazil ‘Azimuth’ contains some of Azymuth's most incendiary tracks and is quite simply a milestone album in Brazilian music. Coupled with a bonus CD of remixes from todays hottest producers inc. Mark Pritchard, Spiritual South, Peanut Butter Wolf and Recloose, this 2CD set is an essential purchase.

Azymuth are the band most commonly associated with Far Out Recordings – they’ve recorded six albums for the label (their 7th is due later this year) and in 2006 Far Out issued ‘Pure’ the 2CD anthology of their best work for Far Out. Azymuth ‘Azimuth’ is the perfect follow up to ‘Pure’ – CD1 takes us right back to the beginning of the story of Azymuth with possibly their finest album ever with its combination of jazz / funk / rock / samba – whilst CD2 brings us smack bang into the present with a collection of 11 all new remixes and re edits from some of the biggest remixers on the scene.

This 2CD set ticks all the buttons as a classic package that should appeal to fans of jazz/hip hop and new jazz. With the seminal album on CD1, and a collection of remixes on CD2 that is set surely to be one of 2007s best remix collections – this 2CD set is likely to be one of the releases of this year!

To come!
