Meirelles e Sua Orquestra - Brazilian Explosion (1974)

Let's start this Saturday with a Red album sent by Arara Azul (Blue Macaw), Meirelles e Sua Orquestra - Brazilian Explosion (1974), for Odeon. Brazilian Explosion is one of a series of orchestra LPs released by Meirelles. There are some experiments with synthesizers and a J.T. Meirelles version of Richard Strauss Also Sprach Zarathustra, theme of the legendary movie 2001, a Space Odyssey.

It's amazing that in 1974 a sci-fi movie predicting the year 2001 is being released again in 2006. We are really getting older. Thanks Arara Azul for this Meirelles LP, the flute player on Sylvia Telles and Rosinha de Valenca video. Tracks include:
