When I decided to make it a couple of weeks ago, I did not find this album and I got really disappointed. Anyway, every Thursday, I receive my loyal assistance to make some housekeeping and other things. I decided to ask her for the album, the last hope and immediately, she guided me to a hidden place with several albums, including Clara Crocodilo. My Assitance has this mania, if something is scaring, she hides from the view of everybody. Now I'm happy to get back my LP. Just a final warning, get ready for an above the flow of scaring cover artworks. Let's see.
This is Arrigo Barnabe e Banda Sabor de Veneno - Clara Crocodilo (1980), for Continental, presented here by the original first 1980 vinyl issue. I have special feelings about this album, which is not for beginners; Arrigo Barnabe approximates classical music, popular music with comics using dodecaphonic and atonal elements, delivering a unique output, something very different from the music we use to listen at Loronix.

i was turned onto this record by a friend in Brazil... Honestly I am not sure how I feel about it. It reminded of some kind of cross between Frank Zappa, Eugene Chadbourne, and The Tubes... When I was actively listening to all of the above artists, I probably would have dug this album quite a bit... since I am more interested in other things these days, this record was a interesting, um, "curiosity." I still think Loronixer's should check this out, if only to remind oneself that Brazilian music is more than just samba, forro, tropicalia, etc..
With that sentiment -- it might be cool to see some Brazilian post-punk here, like some records from Fellini? *There* is a band I'm still 'actively' interested in...
the story about the maid who hides anything that is scary had me cracking up. hilarious!
