This record features 80s MPB with strong ties to 70s tropicalia. I'm a sucker for this stuff—Like the early-80s Lô Borges and Alceu Valença albums (which I'll probably post later): a strange balance between acoustic/psychedelic/folk/samba/tropicalia and electronic/jazz/smooth/modal/chorus/new age... This record flips between all these separate modes, between exuberance and meditation, hovering somewhere between Lula Côrtes and the Pat Metheny Group?? Bordering on too smooth for some of you—not for me. According to Adnet's website, this was a private press record (If anyone knows otherwise, please note in the comments). Also features Joyce singing on some tracks. I got this a couple years ago from Um Que Tenha (which is now back up and running, FYI).
