"I purchased this CD because I am a BIG fan of Sergio M and Brasil '65, '66 and '77. This is the NEW '77 with pretty much a whole new cast and somewhat of a new sound. The remnants of Bossa Nova are buried in this release...The cut "Real Thing" was a favorite of mine when it received air-play on the radio (back in 1978!)... I still prefer the sound of the original Brasil '77, however the only way to get their music is through collector's or on auction sites...I still recommend this release, but prefer the older '66/'77 sound...if you want to complete your collection, then definitely buy it! The sound quality is excellent!"

PURE CLASSIC

"This is an extraordinary work by Sergio. His melodies and rhythms are unexcelled. This, for my money, is his best collection although I find no fault in any of his other works."
