LP (Item 62821) Milestone, 1985 -- Condition: Very Good+
Proof that Azymuth were one of the few groups who could keep things real at a time when most of their fusion contemporaries were sounding cloying and commercial! The album's got a well-rounded sound that really shows the group's roots in the 70s, and their wonderful evolution over the years -- that keyboard-heavy sound that's always warm and soulful, and never too tinny or beat-heavy. Jose Roberto Bertrami's keys come across with a 70s warmth that most groups were lacking by this time -- and the backing from Alex Maheiros on bass and Ivan Conti is always very subtle, and simple too -- swirled up alongside the keyboards, and mixed in with a few occasional bits of guest instrumentation -- including trumpet from Marcio Montarroyos on one track, and flugelhorn from Paulinho Olivera on a few more. Titles include versions of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On", Jobim's "Song Of The Jet", and Ivan Lins' "The Island", plus the cuts "Universal Prisoner", "Candomble", and "Areis". (Back cover has a gold promo stamp.) © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||
