Title: This is not the caetano of beautiful songs
Product review: Although a beautiful album in its own right, Estrangerio is one of Caetano's least commercial efforts. Guitarist Marc Ribot and producer Arto Lindsay provide a spare and harsh sonic landscape where the color and texture of Ceatano's modernist (post-post-modernist?) poetry is given center stage. The sweetness of a bossa nova and the rhythm of Carlinhos Brown tune lighten the overall tone and round out the album -- a very satisfying whole.
