Came across this pretty amazing full-length version of Brazilian Rhyme just recently when checking out all of the previously unreleased bonus tracks that had surfaced on Japanese reissues and compilations over the years. It's actually a version of Toninho Horta’s “Beijo Partido” with (as far as I can tell) completely different English lyrics. 

For this edit I’ve used the Ponta De Areia interval as an intro and added a brief edit of the much-loved version from "All 'n All" as an outro.

Everything is Connected - Dark Soundtrack Mix

Don't know about anyone else but I'm getting more disillusioned with SoundCloud with every change they make. The new algorithm and its 'recommendations' ignore mixes and any tracks over 10 mins, they've removed the New & Hot charts and replaced them with irrelevant crap like "Events near you", and this new UI has me searching for a way to revert it.
