「Age Of Aquarious」な1976年のブラジリアンMPB。ヴォーカル、コーラスのハーモニー。小粋なギター、鍵盤。自在なリズム、天才的なドラミング。ベースのうねり。マイナーブラジル音楽の魅力。Glossy MistakesとVampi Soulの共同で初のアナログ再発。最高。ジャケのフォントも絶妙。是非。
Track List
Vocal harmonies and arrangements and excellent guitar work are masterfully combined creating a joyful journey featuring the undisputed talent of Raymundo Bittencourt, Octávio Burnier and Paulo Moura.
"The human voice is more than just a musical instrument; it is ally to the thought. Vocal art is one of the most beautiful forms of musical expression and an endless resource. It's a shame that so few devote themselves to it in our popular music. I would therefore like to congratulate AQUARIUS and CONTINENTAL for the release of this LP and may it be received by all with the same affection and attention than those who dedicated themselves to making it" Paulinho Tapajos
These notes, originally printed on the back cover of this 1976 beauty, are a perfect introduction to the vocal harmonies and arrangements and excellent guitar work that are masterfully combined creating a joyful journey that features the undisputed talent of Raymundo Bittencourt, Octávio Burnier and Paulo Moura.
An amazing bit of Brazilian samba funk that also touches on MPB, bossa nova, jazz…
This sought-after gem opens with the beautiful version of Burnier & Cartier’s ‘Só Tem Lugar Prá Você’ (one of the two B&C versions included on this album, with a pitched-down ‘Europanema’ sparkling on the B side), building up a mellow, airy vibe that stays throughout the entire album.
This release is the result of a collaboration between Vampisoul and Glossy Mistakes.

小久保隆の 「Digital Soundology #1」やSUSUMU YOKOTA 「Stevia」、鳥山雄司なども再発をしてきたベルリンのDJのGlossy Mario主宰のレーベルGlossy Mistakesと、中南米音楽の発掘のスペシャリストVampi Soulが手を組んで、1976年ブラジル産のMPB、Aquariusの再発。ジャケットのクレジットには名前がないのですが、レーベルのコメントにはパウロ・モーラが参加していると書いていて(彼周辺のミュージシャンであることは間違いないです)、コーラスワークのアレンジ、ボサノヴァ、ジャズ、70年代のブラジルらしいスタジオワーク、70sロスアンジェルスのコーラスグループ。João Donato、Caetano Velosoの「A Rã」、ジョアン・ジルベルト等で知られるヴィニシウス デ モライス作詞、アントニオ カルロス ジョビン作曲の「Chega de saudade」、ドリバル・カイミ、トニオ・ホルタなどの数珠の名曲もカバーしています。 (サイトウ)
