Yet another mid 60s bossa combo release from Eumir Deodato. This one is rather like 'Impulso' in that it features prominent Hammond Organ work. So much, in fact, that the tracks sometimes sound like Walter Wanderley's work of the time, although Eumir doesn't have the same superfast percussive chord style. The songs are again short, and include early recordings of a couple of great and famous Marcos Valle tracks (yes, I am a Marcos Valle freak) - 'Terra de Ninguem' and 'Os Grilos'. I have the same minor complaint that the group sound almost *too* tight, but I still love the instrumental blend on this album - piano, organ, brass and relentless percussion. 'Tristeza', a favorite of mine as sung by Astrud Gilberto is given a storming rendition with a moody opening and a really cool melody line, seguing between solo trumpet and hammond organ.
