Originally recorded as a collection of singles and an EP, Camino Del Sol is the work of French band Antena, who made a brief impact on the electronic music scene between 1981 and 1983. Dubbed "electro-samba" by the Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant, the songs here (including a nearly unrecognizable reworking of Jobim's "The Girl from Ipanema") are a combination of Latin-flavored drum-machine beats and relaxed vocals over a wash of synthesized melody. What's remarkable is how up-to-the-minute these 20-year-old recordings sound--Antena may have arrived too early to become successful, but their resonance can be heard in a slew of modern bands, from Beck's Brazilian excursions to the mellow electronica of Zero 7. --Ben Heege
Average review score:
BRAVOStanding ovation for Numero group. This reissue of the best electro samba band ever is a wonder. This record is 23 years old and sounds like it was made yesterday.
Let's hope that it will bring attention to Isabelle Antena 's fabulous work.

ahhh, romanceAngular and sensual. Urban nights and the south of France during the day. Electro samba. Your dreams of a romantic life on one CD packaged in a gorgeous slip-cover sleeve (Hennebert was a fine artist!). Then of course there is THAT keyboard--the one a minute or so in to the title track that sends all the blood to your heart. If you don't love this band like a good friend after hearing this CD you are dead to me.

But this complilation(and record label) is incredible.
This isnt the easist thing to blast at a childrens birthday party, but if your hanging around with people that appreciate all types of "rock" music, this works great.
Intense, savage rough bands like The Icarus Line, and Your Enemies Friends. Not the cleanest, most friendly music. But you can tell that these guys know what there doing. Great Tunes!
Then you have some softer, more radio'able catchy tunes like Radio Vago, Burning Brides, and Text. Everyone can appreciate this stuff.
Then there is stuff like SHAT, Gayrilla Biscuits. I cant even explain this music... Its hilarious, Shat for example. Each of the 2 featured songs only use one lyrical phrase throughout the duration of the song.. But, the phrases themsleves.. Plus the actual "music".. very entertaining
OH, i almost forgot . there is a whole bunch of prank phone calls recorded on here.. Sure, prank calls have been done.. But every single one of these is music/label/band related. Such as a guy calling up trying to get The explosions manager to sign them onto the "Jack Daniels" stage, which is outside in the parking lot... and they dont get to bring any tour buses.. and the band has to pay for it. Also, the VP of Ben and jerrys trying to get a contract worked out with them for they exclusive flavor "Tenacious D'elicious"... Many a cheesy references to the ganja, and being fat, Classy stuff!
If you have even an ounce of musical bravery, get this CD set. Its not expensive, and its great, both discs..
