Album Description

RECORDANDO O VALE DAS MACAS is one of the main Progressive rock line-ups that came out of Brazil during the Seventies, next to MUTANTES, O TERCO and SOM NOSSO DE CADA DIA. With only one exceptional album recorded in 1977 ("As Crianças Da Nova Floresta"), guitar-player Fernando PACHECO's line-up greatly contributed to create the basis for a now typical South-American style. The players show some CAMEL and GENESIS (or even RENAISSANCE) influences, some delicate and refined atmospheres, charming vocals (In Portuguese, occasionally both feminine and masculine), a delicate and truly lyrical flute… Apart from the references taken from the masters of this style, these musicians display a great personality and a noticeable virtuosity. The use of the violin played by their leader can also reinforce the similarities with another famous name of the local stage: Marcus VIANA (SAGRADO). As a bonus, we'll just add that it includes an eponymous and more than 18-minute long suite! "1977-1982" is the re-issue of this very album, with a thorough booklet that includes both texts and bilingual historic. The title change is justified by the fact that this new issue contains now two bonus tracks, recorded five years later and destined to be issued as a single. A swan song to the "Memory of the Apple Valley"…

Customer Reviews:

Well the right rate should be 3 stars and 1/2,but this is..........2002-12-14

"As criancas da nova floresta" is the best gem taken from the album of the same title,this track representing the band at its peek: here the influence of Camel and generally of light symphonic/light Canterbury is evident ... the excellent use of flute, a tasteful guitarist(a bit Santana-like), and an interesting rythmical section too(honestly not always inspiring, but nevermind...),create a romantic picture. The right rate should be "3 stars and an half", but this one is almost an incomplete collection, by considering also their 2nd album ; anyway if you don't find the album "As criancas da nova floresta", you can start with this good anthology, covering their short career which ended in 1982 (recently they have been reunited for a brasilian prog fest-the famous ART-ROCK RIO FESTIVAL, but I think of a mere celebration ...). Well in the place of the pretty " Memory of the apple valley" there are couple of bonus tracks plus their epynomous-the 18 minutes suite-which was already included in their debut album: for this reason you are not obliged to look for their debut album, because you find almost the whole stuff from it, except on "Memory of the apple valley" ...

Recommended if you appreciate bands such as the south american "O Terco", "Mutantes", "Sagrado Coracao da Terra","Pablo El enterrador" and the classic Camel.
