  Arto Lindsay | The A.V. Club
Arto Lindsay got his start as a member of the seminal No Wave outfit DNA, a group that--like the other bands captured on the Brian Eno-produced 1978 compilation No New York--embraced the primitivism of punk but added a confrontational element of random noise.
Lindsay, whose nontraditional guitar work encouraged one critic to invent "skronk" as a descriptive term, went on to play in several bands that came out of New York's Downtown scene, including the Lounge Lizards, Golden Palominos, and Ambitious Lovers.
Yet Lindsay, who was born in America but raised in Brazil, also began to explore his roots, translating Portuguese lyrics and producing such legendary Brazilian songwriters as Caetano Veloso, as well as relative newcomers Marisa Monte and Vinicius Cantuaria.

 The History of Rock Music. Arto Lindsay: biography, discography, reviews, links   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Arto Lindsay e` uno degli intellettuali del rock che alla fine degli anni '70 cambiarono l'accezione di "musica rock" facendone un genere musicale astratto e concettuale.
Di Lindsay e` rimasta l'impronta piu` che altro ideologica: in un freddo registro "declamatoriale" Lindsay canta liriche morbose e romantiche, ambigue e metaforiche (alla chitarra si cimenta raramente).
Lindsay torna alla ribalta con le ballate brasiliane di Mundo Civilizado (Bar/None, 1997), che approfondiscono quel discorso con un piglio intellettuale, e tanto basta a farne un caso giornalistico.

Then the band came on: a rather gaunt Arto Lindsay, Melvin Gibbs on bass, and the keyboardist/alto saxophonist whose name I didn't catch, but who was wearing a pair of real Lederhosen and occasionally fanned himself with a little Oriental fan.
Lindsay's style is probably an acquired taste, but you could tell that he's acquired it and then some, based on the wide smile that spread across his face just before and throughout each solo.
There was something deeply charismatic about how much Lindsay was clearly enjoying himself on stage, a kind of enjoyment-undertow that pulled the audience in as we tried to anticipate and bop along to each joyous burst of guitar static.

Arto Lindsay has made a lifelong habit of crossing both geographical and musical borders.
Born in the United States and raised in Brazil during the heyday of that country's pointedly eclectic Tropicália movement of the 1960s, the multi-faceted songwriter/producer/vocalist/guitarist has forged an international reputation as an artist whose work is as seductive as it is challenging.
From his late 1970s recordings of abrasive "no wave" through his acclaimed series of solo albums beginning in the late 1990s, Lindsay has bonded rhythms and melodies from diverse cultures and genres in provocative new ways, crafting inimitable soundscapes whose impact can range from fragile pop pleasure to sheer sonic assault.

 Arto Lindsay / RootsWorld Recording Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Arto Lindsay came to the attention of American audiences with the experimental, post-punk "No Wave" movement in New York.
But Lindsay gradually distinguished himself by infusing his albums, beginning with the band The Ambitious Lovers, with elements of music from Brazil, where he was raised by his missionary parents.
In recent years, Lindsay, in addition to being a producer for notable albums in Brazil and in the U.S., has released a series of albums that combines quiet bossa nova with dissonant avant-pop.

 Arto Lindsay: Salt - PopMatters Music Review
Its use of so-called "world" music ensured that the guilty-conscience crowd would strain every muscle in their bodies to appreciate it, but the album was fairly dull, fading into the background far too often to justify the raves it sometimes got.
The sense of wild adventure that Lindsay made his signature quality beginning with his stint in no-wave heroes DNA was gone, replaced by a dispiriting satisfaction with producing lovingly crafted Muzak.
Considering that Lindsay is now on the far side of 50, it would only be slightly hasty to treat an uninspired record as the herald of an irreversible descent into mediocrity.

 Arto Lindsay
Arto Lindsay was one of the leading exponents of the aptly-named No-Wave scene that emerged in New York during the latter half of the 1970's.
In the context of his first band DNA, Lindsay developed an approach utilizing detuned guitar and arrhythmic stuctures that has since been frequently imitated in avant-garde (and particularly New York avant-garde) circles.
After periods swinging with the ersatz-jazz ensemble The Lounge Lizards and participating in the raucous funk of The Golden Palominos, Lindsay formed The Ambitious Lovers with keyboardist Peter Scherer -- a project in which the influence of his childhood in Brazil was allowed to bubble to the surface.

 Official Ticketmaster site. Arto Lindsay tickets, dates
Lindsay, a native of Brazil, began conflating the Brazilian pop music of his youth with the sonic density and avant-garde urgings he pursued as a member of the Lower East Side noise rock scene.
As a result, his recordings as leader of the Ambitious Lovers are not all atonal skronk, but rather a deft blend of dance-pop and sonic adventurousness.
Although they don't sell records in the millions (or the hundreds of thousands for that matter), the Ambitious Lovers are one of the few bands to live up to their name record after record.

After his tenure as guitarist in the great no wave band DNA and punk-jazzers the Lounge Lizards, Arto Lindsay formed the equally exciting and (pun intended) ambitious Ambitious Lovers, while also being involved with the earliest incarnations of the Golden Palominos.
After several releases on Bar None, Lindsay became the first artist to release an album on Ani Difranco's Righteous Babe label (besides Ani herself, that is), beginning with The Prize.
Invoke was released in 2002, followed by Salt in 2004, all dispaying his special synthesis of Brazilian music with the downtown avant-garde.

Eventually Lindsay, graduate of a plethora of influential bands through the ‘80s and ‘90s – DNA, Ambitious Lovers and Lounge Lizards to name but a few – takes the stage in trademark pipe-cleaner suit and white shirt.
One moment Arto sings samba gentle as a nostalgic caress, the next his guitar is like flint grinding on flint.
Arto sings “You’re simply so beautiful” over and over again above a bass string slung so low that it suggests an unreliable rope bridge suspended above an abyss or the schoolkid’s ruler vibrating on a desk that tips a teacher over the precipice into mental breakdown.

For years, Lindsay has lured fans into his musical fantasy world with the falsely modest claim that he can't sing or play the guitar.

Lindsay's latest album, Prize, has the distinction of being the first album produced on Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe Records label that doesn't include DiFranco herself.

Though Arto Lindsay is well-known as a denizen of the downtown Manhattan scene, he was raised in northeastern Brazil.
In that light, Lindsay's dissonant electronic touches can be seen as an extention of the original movement.
Lindsay shows himself to be a romantic, but the only kind that can still exist in this post-modern world of no mysteries: one who still holds onto his sense of absurd.
