  1. Another stunner from this legendary Brazilian fusion group! The record's a swirling blend of Brazilian rhythms, soulful keyboard work, and some very tasty modern production. Like the other Azymuth albums on Far Out, this one's got a great edge to it -- kind of a spacey funky fusion sound that's very much in a 70s mode, but which also has good open ear for a modern vibe. The keyboards are excellent -- way better than on many of the group's older American records -- and the whole session's got a great appreciation for the sound that Azymuth can hit when they really open up. Titles include "Equipe 68", "Folgada", "Rosalie", "Castelo", "Raspa Do Tacho", and "Valsa For Us".
