O Corpo Sutil (The Subtle Body) is the debut solo album by musician Arto Lindsay, released in 1995. [1]
The Independent wrote that Lindsay "has taken the sand-between-the-toes sound of bossa nova, enrolled colleagues such as Brian Eno, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Bill Frisell to distress it into post-modern form, and set the tunes to his own very effective lyrics and delicate voice." [2] In his book Grown Up All Wrong: 75 Great Rock and Pop Artists from Vaudeville to Techno, Robert Christgau praised the albums lyrics and called it "quiet and traditional-sounding—a formal translation of what samba means to Lusophones like Lindsay, for whom it's a music not just of entrancing groove but of world-class poetry." [3]
William Ruhlmann for AllMusic noted the change of direction Lindsay had taken from his days of leading noise rock bands like DNA, and called it "a charming, restrained record, not the kind of adjectives generally used to describe Lindsay's music before now." [1]
All tracks composed by Arto Lindsay and Vinicius Cantuária; except where indicated
Ryuichi Sakamoto was a Japanese composer, pianist, record producer, and actor who pursued a diverse range of styles as a solo artist and as a member of Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO). With his bandmates Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi, Sakamoto influenced and pioneered a number of electronic music genres.
Yellow Magic Orchestra was a Japanese electronic music band formed in Tokyo in 1978 by Haruomi Hosono, Yukihiro Takahashi and Ryuichi Sakamoto. The group is considered influential and innovative in the field of popular electronic music. They were pioneers in their use of synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, drum machines, computers, and digital recording technology, and effectively anticipated the "electropop boom" of the 1980s. They are credited with playing a key role in the development of several electronic genres, including synthpop, J-pop, electro, and techno, while exploring subversive sociopolitical themes throughout their career.
Arthur Morgan "Arto" Lindsay is an American guitarist, singer, record producer and experimental composer. He was a member of the pioneering 1970s no wave group DNA, which featured on the 1978 compilation No New York. In the 1980s, he formed the group Ambitious Lovers. He also performed with The Golden Palominos and The Lounge Lizards.
William Richard Frisell is an American jazz guitarist. He first came to prominence at ECM Records in the 1980s, as both a session player and a leader.

He was also a longtime member of veteran drummer Paul Motian's groups from the early 1980s until Motian's death in 2011. Since the late 1990s, Frisell's output as a bandleader has also integrated prominent elements of folk, country, rock ‘n’ roll and Americana. He has six Grammy nominations and one win.

The band played regularly at Maxwell's and were a central part of the early 1980s Hoboken music scene. Village Voice critic Robert Christgau called them "easily the best of En Why's Pop Three on stage [the other two being the Bongos and the dB's], scruffy and forceful and lithe".
