Centered around synthesist Fabio Ribeiro, who was active in groups such as Clavion, III Milenio, and Antitese, the Brazilian progressive rock group Belezqi Zatsaz released this album in 1991. The album features Luiz Sacoman (guitar), Ronaldo Lobo (bass), and Chico Mocinho (drums, percussion). Utilizing an extensive array of synthesizers and digital effects, including the Mini Moog, Arp Odyssey, Casio CZ-101, and Yamaha DX-7, along with Korg, Kawai, and Oberheim synthesizers, the album presents a rich and intense synth-prog with a hard rock inclination. The sound production is a flamboyant symphonic style with an air of lavish aesthetic beauty. While the album occasionally showcases elegant moments, even the expressions of melancholy are richly layered.
