Skin memory

These three psychedelic and ghostly albums, in no order of preference occupy, their phantasmatic place in my skin since the early days. Those who know me know why. Its the piano, its the bass, its the voices, the melodies. They carry some of the most harmonically exquisitely pieces of proto afro-darkness ever committed to Brazilian popular music. That is, MPB that is truly non-caetanica.

They carry some of the most exquisite pieces of Brazilian popular music ever committed to record.   Sao as linhas de baixo, as vozes, as harmonias, as melodias, a percussao, a escuridao, os rhodes, as orquestraçoes, os convidados, as letras.

Aos Barões

Morning, segura o balanço dessa masterpiece de dois minutos e meio do hippismo psychedelic das Minas Gerais... proto prog 'disco'-funk melancólico pra se misturar na paisagem como se a gente fosse gente.... sem falar do piano e do cravo barroco no final em contraponto com o baixo (tocado aqui por Toninho Horta) e o solo (e o som) daquela guitarra-pileque que só podia estar e existir nesse disco. Já posso dormir novo.

2017 não é 1972. Bye.
