Marco Antonio Araujo - Animal Racional (1984)

Hello, good evening! It is really nice to be back to Loronix. It seems I was out two months, when in fact were only 48 hours. Really nice to be back. I would like to restart with something very different from Loronix business as usual, sharing a great discovery, an artist that delivers a fantastic blend of progressive rock with Brazilian music, Clube da Esquina, classical music, Beatles and everything else you identify. You should try this one even if you are not in the mood of hearing instrumental music with these flavors. Let's see.

This is Marco Antonio Araujo - Animal Racional (1984), for the tiny label Strawberry Fields, a very well done compilation that should be a perfect starting point for Marco Antonio Araujo music. I have been searching for his albums and so far I could find only four, released in the early 80's. Marco Antonio Araujo left us very early in 1985, just when he was getting an international recognition. Tracks included:
