Along with Suba and a host of other acts on the Brasil 2mil compilation, Zuco 103 are one of the contemporary Brazilian acts that Six Degrees Records have brought to the world stage via their Travel series. Zuco 103 blend jazzy electronic pop, trip-hop, and lightweight drum & bass with the joyful sounds of Brazilian samba, bossa nova, and tropicalia. Although vocalist Lillian Vieira is Brazilian, her two bandmates are Dutch and German, lending a distinct blend of European and South American musical styles to the music. The result is a refreshingly light, airy sound that can swing from groovy, chirpy electropop ("Brazilectro") that sounds like a South American Stereolab to campy modern exotica ("No Bar do Samba") and funky hip-hop lite ("Auga Mineral") with a few stops at the drum & bass shop in between. Short on depth but long on pep and snappy grooves, Outro Lado is perfect listening for an extended cocktail hour or beach party. There's even an inviting green libation on the CD cover. --Carl Hanni

Catchy and stylistic dance grooves.......2003-03-06

Well, I bought Zuco 103's two releases in reverse order and was slightly dissapointed with this, their first release. However, that is not to say anything bad or that this disc isn't good, it is just that the second release is so good. After several listens and getting over my own bias I founfd this disc to be pretty darn good. Very innovative stuff, quirky beats to the samba rhythmns makes for some interesting electronica.The second and title track, Outro Lado ( The Other Side) pretty much sums up in terms of music the edgy yet soft and sensual vibe this disc produces. Everytime I hear this song I think my disc is stuck because they do that repeat ding, ding, ding, thing, only to ease back into the groove. On this particular track sultry songstress LilianVieira, her of the wild- looking retro afro, cork screw hair, is only taunting and teasing. Her voice is catchy and infectous and even though my understanding of Portugese is next to nil I understand good music and you will too. The language is no barrier. Besides, the booklet includes selected lyrics in English. "Zabumba No Mar" features Vieira in a rap mode that is very cool; it is suttle and with just the right hook. She seems to be at her best on tracks like "Fome Total/Hunger for Love" where her sensuality is dripping sex appeal as she sings about her own dependence on love. She can be soft and gentle like the classic "Girl from Ipenema" but is even more entertaining on songs where her playfullness and soul comes across. "Cujo and Cuja" is a song based on a poem by Shaca that tells the story of being poor and black in a narrative style to a drum and bass beat. If you like trip-hop, jazzy interludes and nu samba stylings than this is a good disc for you. If you can only get one Zuco 103 disc, go for their second release as it is an improvement over this one, which is a good thing.

Okay... but there definitely are better.......2001-12-02

I picked this up when it came out a few years ago and never really got into this. I first heard Zuco 103 on the compilation "Brasil 2Mil" by sixdegreesrecords and liked Outro Lado, but Zuco's feature release didn't impress me much at all. There were a few catchy songs, and the Outro Lado mix on this cd was pretty cool. But otherwise the sound effects and most of the rest of the tracks seemed too gimmicky and "silly" even. You may enjoy this album at first, but I ended up shelving it and haven't listened to it much since.

I agree with the previous reviewer - there are better albums out there. I'd pick up Brasil 2Mil instead and enjoy the Zuco track there and hear some of the different/diverse sounds. Suba's Sao Paulo Confessions is phenomenal for a "new" sound. I also would recommend Bebel Gilberto's Tanto Tempo (original).

Your Money's Better Spent Somewhere Else.......2001-06-02

This album is fine -- decently produced and conceived -- but it is a bit hackneyed. It grooves, but the sampled sounds aren't particularly fresh and the production is fairly stale. If you really want to hear innovative fusion of trad Brazilian and Electronica, try Suba's "San Paolo Confessions" or Amon Tobin's "Supermodified."

Sexy, hoppin', inventive.......2000-10-10

I bought Outro Lado solely because I'd heard the title song on a net radio station and couldn't get enough of it. It's got a hypnotic sexy beat that makes me want to find someone to groove with. Upon first listen, I was disappointed that the slower tunes alternated with kind of hyper, a-little-too-electronic songs like #2 Brazilectro and #4 Zabumba No Mar - which always makes it hard to maintain any particular mood and that might annoy some of my higher strung company.

The dreamy songs remind me of Nightmares on Wax's Carboot Soul. Very provocative and sensual. And then there are a couple of more traditionally composed Brazilian tunes some with a more batucada beat. If you like any of the music I've mentioned, I highly recommend checking them out. If anything, Outro Lado is an all around great dance party CD.

another great brazilian release.......2000-08-22

although i like old brazilian musicians like Tom Jobim, Maria Bethania... this is something different more modern and showing that brazilian music is going on (check out also Suba). only thing i personaly don't like on this album is that the lyrics in the booklet are translated... that's becouse i speak some portugues and i like things more in original

New music from Jair.......2002-06-04

Jair Oliveira (formerly known as Jairzinho) decided to adopt his name rather than a childhood nickname, not as a denial of his past, but as a new way for future paths in music, says the artist.
In fact "Outro" shows a grown-up artist, as did the previous album "Dis'Ritmia". New Brazilian music at its best. Jair is able to mix the old samba (a big influence on him due to his father history and the records he used to listen to when he was a kid), with popular music in his unique style. "Outro" is a good album that can show you the directions of the new popular music in Brazil.
