"Is his latest album, Hermeto Paschoal exhibits all that has made him famous worldwide. Everything is there: the atmospherical surrouding, the complex harmonies and, of course, the weirdest musical instruments in the world. Hermeto plays tea pots, toys, and ever sings with his mouth full of water. Everything is an instrument in his hands. The band is also amazing, both in technics and harmony. It's brazillian music at it's best, so, if your interested in south-american culture or ever world music, buy it!"

"HERMETO "RETURNED" LAST YEAR WITH THIS NEW CD, HIS FIRST IN YEARS. IT IS THE 2ND TIME HE HAS PRODUCED A RECORDING PERFORMING ON ALL THE INSTRUMENTS, VIRTUE OF "OVERDUBBING" ( CEREBRO MAGNETICO,A MASTERPIECE IS OUT OF PRINT ON LP, AND NEVER ISSUED AS A CD- A SHAME). IT WOULD BE REDUNDANT FOR ME TO CARRY ON & ON ABOUT HERMETO, (SEE MY OTHER AMAZON REVIEWS FOR THAT). THIS CD HAS A "DIFFERENT" "SWING" - IT FEELS MORE LIKE A "DEMO" RECORDING- THOSE WHO HAVE HEARD HERMETO FOR YEARS(SINCE 1970 FOR ME)MIGHT BE ABLE TO IMAGINE THESE SAME COMPOSITIONS APPEARING ON THIS CD BEING PERFORMED BY HERMETO'S CLASSIC "O GRUPO" FORMAT, OR WITH HIS CURRENT WORKING BANDS. A "MUST" FOR HERMETO FANS - YOU WILL FEEL A MORE DIRECT LINK TO HIS GENIUS, HERMETO IS ONE OF THE GREATEST COMPOSERS IN MUSIC HISTORY. ALL TRACKS ARE SUPERIOR, AND THE FEELING IS THAT YOU ARE "IN THE STUDIO" WITH HERMETO-THE RECORDING IS QUITE "CRISP". HOPING "MEC" RECORD LABEL WILL CONTINUE TO RECORD HERMETO & PICK UP WHERE "SOM DA GENTE" LABEL LEFT OFF....ANOTHER CHAPTER ! SARAVA HERMETO....... TUDO E SOM, SEMPRE"
