« Each piece yields its own sonic universe. The ideas themselves are fascinating ; together they make for an uneven listening esperience. »

« Ce premier disque de Reis se situe résolument aux frontières de plusieurs genres; impétueuse, amère et caressante, cette voix ensorcelle... »

« … la morbida saudade della voce di Reis,.. Brizzi, autore anche dei testi, ha ripetuto questo viaggio ai confini con l’elettronica passando per il trip hop dei Portishead, il drum’n bass, la bossa nova e la musica axé: un inno electrosamba all’incontro fisico in Polyamour, achi dub per raccontare la sorpresa dell’amore in Venivi, percusioni e synths psicadelici in Afrobarroco…»

« La musique est signée Aldo Brizzi, un compositeur italien installé au Brésil, à Bahia, entouré de son groupe et de sa muse, Reis, dont la voix cristalline est le fil du spectacle. »

« While many listeners will find Brizzi Do Brasil a bit unusual, it is a dizzy and delightful recording filled with polyphonic percussion, intriguing arrangements and passionate performances by some of Brazil's renowned musical talent. The songs fuse seductiveness with the sacred in a refreshing manner. And the track, Misterio de Afrodite has been selected for the official UNICEF compilation to promote the Audrey Hepburn children's fund.»
- Patty-Lynne Herlevi
Polirritmias e eletrônica, utilizadas com critérios eruditos, balizam a obra, na qual linguagens díspares se intercomunicam de modo francamente não-ortodoxo. Nela, música de concerto e de mercado estabelecem um diálogo correspondente ao que se dá entre mente e corpo, quebrando a polarização apontada por Augusto de Campos e citada pelo José Wisnik entre „a música que convida à dança do intelecto‚ e a música que se limita à dança hipnótica dos quadris”.
- Carlos Rennó
"I think “The Labyrinth Trial” by Aldo Brizzi is an original and unique work.” - .
"With some accents of Brazilian popular music, with vocal or percussion elements with a different kind of compositional sense which creates a unique result.
This record cannot be defined by one single category. With it you must stay open to Music: it’s very beautiful.”
- TV interview (youtube.com/AldoBrizzi)
Na Bahia não tem só axé-music não. Reis & Aldo Brizzi, fazem um som moderno, vigoroso e interessantissimo. È o que alguns chaman de trip hop. … A menina de Santo Amaro, Graça, que para facilitar os gringos assumiu o sobrenome Reis, è etérea e hipnótica. Não deixe de conferir o que a baiana trip hop tém.
