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.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, 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.
ReplyDeleteZeca,
ReplyDeleteDesculpe 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.
