Academia De Dancas

LP (Item 23088) EMI (Brazil), 1974 — Condition: Very Good+
An incredible album from the mid 70s, and one that still has a lot of Gismonti's fantastic approach to scoring for larger concepts. There's a bit more electric guitar than usual, and the record has a tight spacey sound that hints at fusion, but which also still has lots of touches of baroque Brazilian scoring. Titles include "Palacio De Pinturas", "A Porta Encarta", "Jardim De Prazeres", "Bodas De Prata", and "Conforme A Altura Do Sol".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Edgey pop work from the enigmatic singer Taiguara – a bit sweet, a bit baroque, and one of those talents who was secretly helping to push Brazilian pop into the next level! The album features Taiguara's hits, and is a bit less experimental than some of his non-single album cuts – but ... LP, Vinyl record album

An intimate set, and one with a touch of jazz too – thanks to arranger Nelson Ayres, who also plays piano and keyboards on the record!
