Details Lead Performance: Arto Lindsay; Genre: World

The second in a trilogy of Arto Lindsay albums devoted to Brazilian songcraft, Mundo Civilizado is a beguiling blend of lush surfaces, sophisticated melodies, and tasteful but challenging sounds. Hyper Civilizado is a companion CD of beat-heavy remixes from several New York City DJs. Most of the tracks favor atmosphere over melody, with pleasant but insubstantial results. B
