专辑介绍：
还记得Domenico +2吗，是的，从Moreno + 2到Domenico +2，再到Kassin +2，这就是几位巴西艺术家的音乐三部曲，Alexandre Kassin, Moreno Veloso, 和Domenico Lancelotti三个音乐伙伴将巴西传统元素与当代电音节拍进行了完美的融合。
这场音乐的历程，可以追溯到2001年的Moreno + 2推出的《Music Typewriter》。Moreno + 2的原名叫Moreno Veloso，他的父亲是巴西音乐的代表Caetano Veloso。早在三岁的时候，Moreno就开始学习演唱的技巧并在九岁的时候开始了他传统吉他上的浸淫。玩了多年的音乐之后，他与他的伙伴Alexandre Kassin以及Domenico Lancelloti开始了电子音乐的试验性创作，也就是他们之后以“Moreno + 2”之名发表的《Music Typewriter》。
在2004年，鼓手Domenico Lancelloti继续他们的三部曲之创作，以“Domenico + 2”之名推出了《Sincerely Hot》。这张碟的风格，原为承继三部曲的原创作意图——Bossa Nova，结果却变成了一张充满了试验味道的电子funky之作。尽管如此，专辑却充满了深具感染力的美妙旋律，并成为了一张颇具low-key巴西funky电子的专辑。如同计划的一样，作者在专辑里更注重的是节奏和韵律（rhythm）而不仅仅是悦耳的音调（melody）。
现在，让我们一起体验一下三部曲中的最后一部，以Alexandre Kassin名字命名的Kassin +2和这张《Futurismo》。
Alexandre Kassin, Moreno Veloso, and Domenico Lancelotti form a musical trio, which might very well have been called a group, if it weren't for the fact that they, in rather unorthodox fashion, focus on each individual group member instead of the group as unite. Thus, at the release of the trio's first CD in 2001, with Moreno Veloso as singer, they called themselves Moreno +2. In 2003, it was Domenico's turn to stand in the limelight, and the trio called itself Domenico +2. Subsequently, with their third CD release in 2006, the trio adopted the name Kassin +2. Whatever they call themselves, Kassin, Domenico, and Moreno have come to be seen as one of the hippest and most creative songwriting teams of the so-called modern MPB from Rio de Janeiro. With many variations, their music is based on the mix of bossa nova and MPB with modern pop and electronica. Of the three, Moreno Veloso (who of course is the son of the much celebrated Brazilian music legend Caetano Veloso) has proved to stand for a more "serious" and organic kind of music, while Domenico has an aptitude for irony and an obvious interest for pursuing experimental sounds. Kassin +2 lies somewhere in between the two on that scale. The Moreno +2 record was dominated by Moreno's acoustic guitar and tender yet dramatic voice. Traditional and acoustic MPB was mixed, or clashed if you will, with theremin, electronic percussion, and sound effects from a portable video game, with an often surprisingly captivating effect as a result. The CD was released by David Byrne's Luaka Bop. On the Domenico +2 record, the traditional MPB took much more of a back seat in relation to modern electronica and a high degree of experimentalism. The album also offered brief appearances by illustrious artists such as Caetano Veloso, Marisa Monte, Gilberto Gil, and Bebel Gilberto. Then, in 2006, with Kassin as frontman, the album Futurismo was released (for unclear motives in three different versions, with the Japanese release being the best and most extensive one). Kassin, Domenico, and Moreno also toured with singer Adriana Calcanhotto, then calling themselves Adriana Calcanhotto +3, and Kassin has become one of Brazil's most praised producers, working with several of the country's most legendary artists.
