| Janela De Ouro  performed by  Egberto Gismonti  () 
 
 
 I first heard this one on one of the radio mixes on Stereolab's website, and found a copy for relatively cheap on eBay shorty thereafter.
 Anyway, it's great.
 
 The sound reminds me of Gary McFarland's "Latin Lounge" stuff but with a bigger sound and an extra element of subtle funkiness.  Gismonti's arrangement here is adventurous, unpredictable and totally engrossing.
 
 The whole album is wonderful -- "Pendulo" and "Parque Laje" are equally as good -- but I'm still most partial to this, the first track that I heard.
