Alpha III - Ruínas Circulares (1987)

The sixth album from this one man band from Brazil.

Amyr Cantusio Jr does the guitars and synths again. 

These are the two only instruments on this album. Alpha III is regarded as a symphonic prog band. A genre which also has place for a project like this one.

This one hour long album has a mix of electronica and more symphonic prog and neo-classical music.

Mostly neo-classical music. Or muzak.

The best parts of this music sounds like shopping mall and elevator music. Not that I would have stayed long in a shopping mall if confronted with the best parts of this music...

The worst parts is the electronica and synths sounding like they were wrapped in plastic. Horrible.

The sound is at times pretty poor too.

Not all is horrible here. But it is still a sub-standard album.

1.5 points
