Secos e Molhados - Secos e Molhados (1974)

Hello, good evening! My apologies for the five hours outage we had tonight on Find It, Loronix Preview Center, Forum, video and panorama display services and Realejo. These services run out of the domain loronix.blogspot.com and the servers that support these complimentary features went down. I had to work hard with the support team to put some urgency to make the repair; it was a very stressing night. In the other hand, I could realize the importance of these tiny applications that I have been creating across the last two years. Loronix is not the same without them. Anyway, everything is now up and running and the show must go on with something different and one of my favorite albums from the 70's. Let's see.

This is Secos e Molhados - Secos e Molhados (1974), for Continental, the second and last album of this legendary group, a mind opener for a whole generation of music lovers. The first Secos e Molhados album is already available at Loronix and I got a little bit disappointed with no comments received so far. I hope this one makes a best career, receiving feedbacks from our community. In spite of several reviews saying this second album is just for completionists, this is the one I like most, superior on several aspects from their first. Loronix Preview Center features 02 - Flores Astrais, their blockbuster, but any track deserves to be at our test drive center. Tracks include:

I liked some of the last one, sort of folk rock, some beautiful vocals. Was reading about the lead singer somewhere, on wfmu.org i think. Apparently he was quite a pioneer, 'doing' the androgynous thing before david bowie.
Anyway, point being i appreciated the last one.
Looking forward to checking this one out.

Many thanks

No doubt... the first album was quite a nice mix of styles. Reminded me of CSNY a little. I'm looking forward to this one.

Zeca,
Desculpe mas eu não resisto em sugerir um espaço maior para Ney Matogrosso no LORONIX. Os seus três primeiros albums solo "Ney Matogrosso" de 1975, "Bandido" de 1976 e "Pecado" de 1977 são excelentes, além é claro do outro disco do Secos & Molhados de 1973.

Também no México foram um grande sucesso no anos 70. É uma lástima que agora nao chegue ao México tanta música linda do Brasil.
