Arto Lindsay - Noon Chill [1997] … Rediscovered!!

"Arto" Lindsay (born May 28, 1953) is an American record producer, experimental composer, as well as, a guitarist and a singer  with a distinctive soft voice. He grew up in Brasil, so his music is influenced by pop, samba and bossa nova.

"Noon Chill" is his third solo album, released in 1997.

According to Tim Sheridan's review from allmusic.com: "This disc proves the adage that you shouldn't judge a book (or CD) by its cover: beneath a blurry and daunting photo of Lindsay as a soggy frogman, the more adventurous buyer will discover hypnotic rhythms and enigmatic lyrics. While Lindsay's voice is thin (and sometimes flat), his narcotic delivery is nicely suited to the pictures he paints. 
 

Check out the Brazilian flavors of "Simply Are" or the trance groove of "Ridiculously Deep," and you'll hear why this cult favorite has won the admiration (and guest appearances) of musicians like Nana Vanconcelos, Mitchell Froom, Peter Scherer and others. So put the cover away and let your ears be the judge."
