Alpha III - Mar de Cristal (1983)

The second album from this band from Brazil.

Alpha III is mr. Amyr Cantusio Jr and he did the bass, guitars, synths and vocals here. He had help from a Mauricio Lambiasi who did bells and drums.

I was not overly impressed by the first album. It was/is in fact a turkey, that album.

The year was 1983 and the decade was a dark decade when it comes to sound and music. Progressive rock was more or less dead. The sound was more or less based on plastic and bad synths.

Plastic and bad synths is what we get on Mar De Cristal. The music is a mix of symphonic prog and pomp pop.

The sound is synthetic and like one of these shopping, carrier bags you get from a supermarket to carry your carrots and beer bottles in. 

The vocals is it's own horror story. The music is pretty poor too.

In short, this is another turkey from Alpha III.
