The second album from this band from Brazil.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, mandolin, organ, keyboards, moog, synths, piano and vocals.
Two guests added vocals and flute.
This band released three albums before they split up. I reviewed both their debut and their final album ten years ago for ProgArchives. But I totally forgot about this album until it showed up in my to-review list.
Better late than never.
The band played symphonic prog and symphonic prog of the more pastoral vein. Genesis and Camel is good references here.
The music is mostly instrumental with a couple of vocals songs thrown into this one hour long album.
The music is really elegant and in the same vein as their two other albums.
The vocals is good and ditto for the other instruments. The music is not overly technical despite of the musicians being highly skills. Sometimes, less is more is the best way of creating good progressive rock.
This is indeed a good album and one to check out. This band was one of the best progressive rock bands from this continent and their three albums still gives symphonic prog fans a lot of pleasure.
