Once again, the Sunkissed camp get it spot on with this loud-pressed 12� collection of Balearic classics from Brazilian songstress Astrud Gilberto.

Opens with the original version of mesmerising dancer �Black Magic�, a great DJ weapon that got the Tangoterje edit seal of approval a few years back. Followed by Balearic favourite �Beginnings�, a jazzy take on Chicago�s classic hit which spins out into eight minutes of sensual bliss. Turn over for big Daniel Wang play, the obscure LP track �All I�ve Got�, a glorious low-slung floor-filling gem produced by none other than Salsoul Orchestra founder Vince Montana who also supplies the sublime disco version of the song that made Astrud a household name �The Girl From Ipanema�. Lastly comes her cool and breezy version of the Bossanova jazz standard �Agua De Beber�.
