O Terco
Criaturas da Noite
Discos Copacabana (Brazil) 197x
COELP 41.346 (LP)
sleeve : EX(SRW, slightly wear on edge.)
media : EX/EX(some slightly noise.)
The Copacabana pressing of the 1975 masterpiece third album by O Terço, acclaimed as Brazil’s first progressive rock band. Highlights include A2, with its brilliant acoustic guitar melodies and beautiful choral work; A4, where atmospheric synth pads and acoustic piano layers are perfectly matched with gentle choruses; and B3, an epic track running over 12 minutes, showcasing hard-edged rock driven by aggressive electric guitar and propulsive synthesizers, alongside grand symphonic arrangements. The entire album presents a spacey progressive rock sound infused with a distinctively Brazilian sense of saudade. A true masterpiece—distinguished by its unique mellowness that sets it apart from mere technical prog. Highly recommended.
A2: Queimada
A4: Ponto Final
B3: 1974
