"5 stars for each of his 3 albums. Why this guy is not better known in the USA, and even Brazil! amazes me. Maybe it's a lack of a major label. Maybe it's the style of music is not popular any more. See my reviews on his other two CD's. This, his first album is equal to the other two - if only slightly less "clean" recording quality. And I'm nitpicking here as I'm a finicky audiophile."

5 stars ain't high enough to this album!

"I'd rate it 10 stars and above!!
This is one of the most bestest albums I ever heard! Márcio is a genius who plays as if it was a simple stuff. His chords are delicately put together, his themes are simple but very impressively explored. He counts on the "luxurious help" (não dá pra traduzir "auxílio luxuoso" de maneira compreensível! Só em Português mesmo! Sorry!) of people like Chico Buarque on the tilte track, and each of the subsequent tracks keep some flavours of Caetano Veloso, Arto Lindsay, Cesar Costa Filho and other cute musicians. Although he comes from Brasilia, his music sounds like "mineira". His producer, Wagner Tiso, is a monster who needs no more comments. The resulting album could not be different! 8^)"
