The one and only album from this Brazilian band.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
The band got help from numerous guest musicians who provided keyboards, effects, drums, violin, viola and vocals.
I have read somewhere that this band comes from the most remote county in Brazil, hundreds if not thousands of miles from the nearest progressive rock scene.
Brazil is a big, big country and there is a lot of wilderness in this country. So well done to the band members for getting together and creating music for then to releasing this album and an EP. The rest of us has an easy life compared to these guys.
Or maybe we are the ones missing out on something.....
The music on this almost one hour long album is a mix of Brazilian folk rock, a bit King Crimson, a bit Gentle Giant and a lot of pastoral symphonic prog from the 1970s.
The vocals, which is good, is a mix of Portoguese and English. The English vocals are pretty terrible and a bit of let down. The Portoguese vocals are spot on, though.
The music is a mix of vocals and instrumentals. Both types of music is good and the band has something going for them. I hope I am wrong when I state that this is a one-off album.
This album is a good album and well worth checking out.
