The only thing "cheesy" about this comp for me was that they included the
"Batucada" track because of its recent use in a Foster's beer commercial.
I wouldn't be too hard on Pete Heller, though; he didn't really change much
from the original track.
Overall I found the compilation eclectic and enjoyable, if a bit unfocused.
