Of all his albums this is the one that Ed pays the most obvious homage to his (and my) favourite band - Steely Dan. It's a joyous, extremely well produced set of album orientated rock. A misnomer of a term if you ask me. This is music that blends jazz with the most sophisticated pop. I have the English language version that I believe Ed prefers. Nonetheless, you can imagine driving around Rio on a summers day blasting this out. Immaculate.

This is the European/English version. There is also a Brazilian version sung in Portugueese
