│ AWESOME SOFT BOSSANOVA/LOUNGE including an array of unexpected covers. │
│ The enigma of Rita Calypso is partially resolved with this great easy │
│ listening record in stereo. Do not miss the killer cover. Apocalypso is │
│ a 5 stars release with shining examples of classic sounds, English easy │
│ beats, bossa nova, bird calls, pop vibes, seaside Rhodes, exquisite │
│ string section, bass, percussion and the best vocals of the century. Not │
│ strangely Rita Calypso was brought up near exotic gardens, trendy │
│ beaches and Swiss schools, but aside from these facts what is clear is │
│ that she excells with the songwriting of Free Design, Webb, Bass, Tim │
│ Hardin, Charles Fox & Norman Gimbel, Burt Bacharach and Lee Hazlewood. │
│ This is her debut album. There are plenty of covers of rare gems as a │
│ buried solo-song by Ellen Dedrick post Free Design "Settlement boy", │
│ Linda Ball's "The End" and pieces of soundtracks as "Mad Monster Party" │
│ or "Marque de Sade; Philosophy In The Budoir" and after-dinner mints in │
│ the sixties tradition of Claudine Longet, The Brass Ring, Sandie Shaw or │
│ Astrud Gilberto. Even with more intensity than the originals!! Despite │
│ the title that suggests spooky and dark sounds, we find that her music │
│ is very pop, bright, happy, funny even at times. Rita delivers breathy │
│ and utterly charming vocals as if she were seducing you. It is plausible │
│ to imagine that her as a mermaid, out of water, now in human form, │
│ female perfection. Apocalypso! Rita Calypso is a goddess of the female │
│ vocals in sophisticated environments and her partners in crime, Ramon │
│ Leal and Mateo Guiscafre are her equal. After her articipation in the │
│ trilogy Sol y Sombra, Educacion y Descanso and Informacion y Turismo it │
│ was only a question of time and public request that the inhouse │
│ producers would device a well-arranged record with a tasteful selection │
│ of orchestral songs, crystal clear strings and trumpets. The result is a │
│ pop treasure of 13 stunning tracks and a very nice production that puts │
│ Leal & Guiscafre next to Tommy LiPuma, Eumir Deodato, Albert Gorgoni, │
│ Augusto Alguero or Charles Fox. The set starts out with a female vocal │
│ as great as any of the great 60's vocal anthems of love films │
│ "Wanderlove". Other charming track is the warm pop song "Paper mache" a │
│ la Dionne Warwick. "Kinky love" is a highly enjoyable song on many │
│ levels but with ridiculous lyrics. There are cool watery guitar sounds │
│ and upbeat 60s naughty children songs as "Never was a love like mine" or │
│ "Sugartown". The whole record has great production and entertaining │
│ lyrics; it's not hard to see why Rita is so important for Siesta. The │
│ most outstanding covers are however the obscure "Where do I go" (Charles │
│ Fox) and a very groovy instrumental "stripper-esque" go go sound Italian │
│ style called "Mary". Many will however describe "I'll cry myself for │
│ sleep" as the most intense neo-classical climax of the record. Siesta │
│ has a knack for fashioning simple, yet perfectly formed pop records. The │
│ albums are executed perfectly and the imagination never stops. It is │
│ also plausible to imagine Rita singing while strolling through a meadow │
│ of sunflowers, breezes gently blowing her hair... Ahem, ahem. │
│ Apocalypso! Rita has a few things in common with Nancy Sinatra, Karen │
│ Carpenter, Sue Raney, Petula Clark, or Margo Guryan. Very similar albums │
│ with similar songs and similar production, all gorgeous. If you love │
│ those eternal records this is your ticket to paradise. │
│ │
│ Enjoy another GREAT release from SRN!!! │
