5 out of 5 stars really special !.......2004-02-17

This is absolutely the most tender of all Deodato's works. It is absolutely a must for all real D's fans as I am, since my childhood. I am about to order it for a second time. Thank u Eumir !

5 out of 5 stars Smooth and Relaxing.......2003-08-16

Deodato has been a favorite since the US release of Prelude back in the halcyon days of my youth. His auspicious American debut was followed with a string of mostly excellent albums right on up through Love Island. Then Deodato went disco and seemed to disappear from the musical map.
Percepcao is largely unknown in the States and contains music composed when Deodato was at his creative peak. Of the songs on this CD, only Dia de Verao saw release on a US album where a more horn-driven version was retitled Spirit of Summer for Prelude.
Percepcao is great morning music. Though it is smooth and relaxing, its quality places it miles above the pap often referred to as "smooth jazz". Deodato's compositional and arrangeing skills will be immediately apparent to the educated ear.
The entire CD is excellent, but my favorites here are the stately Dia de Verao, the evocative A Grande Cacada, the soaring Bebe, and the soothing Neve.
My only complaint is that it is just under 25 minutes short.
Despite the brevity, I recommend it highly particularly to those who are fans of early Deodato.
