Pure (The Far Out Years 1995-2006)

‘Pure’ will be an essential purchase for all Azymuth fans as well as a great introduction for newcomers and those who will be familiar with the band from their releases on Far Out. The Bonus Remix CD is sure to appeal to those into more electronic and ‘remix’ culture and should help ‘Pure’ become Azymuth’s best selling CD for Far Out.

Combining funk, soul and jazz with Samba, Azymuth are responsible for creating a sound and genre of their own that they named ‘Samba Doido (Crazy Samba)’. They have produced over 20 albums in three decades together including a UK No. Top 20 hit (‘Jazz Carnival’).

"The final result is boldly Brazilian, with a snaking samba that winds itself around subtle bass riffs and keenly controlled chaos that has the passion of carnival street swing but the deep wisdom of three decades of exploring everything from gentle bossa to bloco beats."

"Fans will rejoice anew at evergreen tracks like 'Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser', 'O Lance', 'Quem Com Quem' and 'Carnival' which all underline the timelessness and sustained vitality of the Azymuth sound. Newcomers will discover a whole new world of impeccably manicured fusion grooves."
