Bossanova is a multiple device controller for live production where you want to have full control and keep the option to perform on-air changes.
Bossanova will take control, as much as you wish, over your devices and activate the functions simultaneously, making the presentation very professional and easy to handle.
But Bossanova is not just activating devices in real time; it also stores an internal workflow that guides the single operator from the production planning stage to the final output presentation, regardless of whether it is a regional news transmission or a technical event production.

 MARCO BESSONE - JOAO GILBERTO PAGE
Indeed, bossanova compositions often spoke of love, the beach, and beautiful women and seemed to be a depiction of the author's bohemian life rather than a tale of Brazilians' daily struggles as usually happened with samba, a music genre popular among the working class.
Perhaps ironically, bossanova, the music style associated with complacence, is also considered responsible for the birth of the protest music of the 1960s that denounced the political uproar Brazil found itself in that led to the military coup of 1964.
The music they composed was radically different from that created by the first generation of bossa nova musicians and depicted the plight of the Brazilian population and denounced the country's newly installed military government.

 Live Review: Dead Model Shoot / Bossanova / South of Main, the Vancouver Press Club, October 24, 1997
Bossanova's sound is that of the perpetual dead and buried, with the corpses of every late-sixties AM radio track and those 'whatever happened to...' Pebbles and Highs in the Mid-Sixties garage band compilations all gussied up for breakfast.
What prevents Bossanova from being run out of town on a rail is that frontman Chris Storrow is the best songwriter Vancouver has produced since the days of the Collectors and the Poppy Family.
And so, with the foundations of cracking tunes laid with the likes of "Mysterious Female Bass Player" and "Echo is My Name," Bossanova make the prospect of french-kissing the carcass of the Left Banke not such a bad thing after all.

For the follow-up, the Boston foursome could have kept drawing from the same well, but Bossanova is a pretty far cry from its predecessor.
Bossanova is more of a straight-ahead rock album –; by the Pixies' standards, meaning it's still safely off the mainstream.
Elsewhere, a classic Black Francis larynx shredder, "Rock Music," is off-set by the fanciful album closer, "Havalina," in which the Pixies' voices seem to echo dreamily around a canyon.

Gone were the Biblical references, frenzied Spanish vocals and (for the most part) sex; instead, Bossanova (the Pixies' fourth - and best - album)takes outer space as a frequent reference point and wraps it up in a dreamlike, sinister Summer's day.

 [AlecEiffel.net] Pixies Reviews, Bossanova
'Bossanova' is the Pixies in the Twilight Zone, Black Francis exploring the obscure and the unknown; Carl Sagan with a guitar cranked up to full volume.
In many ways, 'Bossanova' is the composite Pixies LP, the most positive elements of its two predecessors blended together to make one of the most intriguing and listenable albums of the year.
Like its predecessor Doolittle, Bossanova is thrumming with ideas right from the off with the twangy surf-style Cecilia Ann being followed in double quick time by a fiery Rock Music, Velouria's tactile harmonies and scorching Allison (in praise of the veteran bluesman Mose, it seems) before you've even had time to get your breath back.

 Nude as the News: Pixies: Bossanova   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
By 1990's Bossanova, Francis and the group had enveloped themselves in a cloud of marijuana smoke, but as the production grew crisper and shinier, the guitars and vocals wailed even louder.
Bossanova is superbly crafted, ringing pop that retains the Pixies' knack for exploring the lesser-travelled regions of the classic three-minute rock song.
Bossanova also gives the first hints of the band's demise through dictatorship, as bandleader Black Francis takes on even more control of the creative process on an album that does not include any songs by bassist Kim Deal.

The one fault with 'Bossanova' is that it is the first Pixies album to bear noticably less trace of Kim Deal.
Her bass is no longer quite as dominant a force, she sings no lead vocals and not many backing vocals and contributes no new songs.
Ultimately, your enjoyment of 'Bossanova' is down to to whether or not you are willing to accept that a band might want to stray from their winning formula.

Though for most newcomers into their music, you might not find the album to sink in after just one listening, the true downside of the album is the short length of most of the songs, many of which don't even live to see the 3-minute mark.
Bossanova was not the start of the decline of Pixies, because there was no decline.
Bossanova is reccomended to any Pixies fan; or if you're just getting into the Pixies, this is a good place to start because there are elements of all the other albums in this album.

If Doolittle was the cornerstone of the soon-to-be radio-friendly alt-rock of the early 90s, Bossanova was even further ahead of its time, setting up the guitar-based art-rock movement of the late 90s.
That said, Bossanova is hard to “get into.” Kicking off with arena-surf rock, the noisy instrumental “Cecilia Ann,” we shouldn’t be so easily fooled.
The bizarrely cacophonic juxtaposition of pop surf-punk with scary-space rock is part of Bossanova’s charm.
