Exotic rhythms, catchy melodis, jazzy piano, sexy vocals - it was a unique mixture of all these elements and more that propelled Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 to the top of the charts in the mid-1960s, and by the end of the decade they were still going strong. The Brasil '66 sound is as fresh and as irresistible as ever on thi salbum, with everything from the Beatles ("Norwegian Wood") to Burt Bacharach ("What the Worls Needs Now") to Hair ("Easy to Be Hard") getting a sparkling Mendes makeover.
Perhaps the Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 sound was at last beginning to show signs of wear, for not only didn't Ye-Me-Le produce any hits ("Wichita Lineman" reached a lowly number 95), but the album is also less enterprising and fresh-sounding than its predecessors. There is a surprising shortage of Brazilian material, which was always Mendes' most valuable contribution in the long run, and more reliance upon routine covers of pop/rock standards like "Easy to Be Hard" and "What the World Needs Now." But there are special moments, like the hypnotic "Masquerade" (no relation to the Leon Russell/George Benson hit), Sergio Mihanovich's haunting "Some Time Ago," and another winning treatment of a Beatles tune, "Norwegian Wood," where Mendes cuts loose a killer solo on electric piano (believe it or not, the 45 rpm single version features more of that solo than the LP).
