SOM NOSSO DE CADA DIA ~ A PROCURA DA ESSÊNCIA: AU VIVO 1975-1976 EDITIO PRINCEPS 04 (Barcode: 7898901556046) ~ BRAZIL ~ Jazz-Rock Fusion Recorded: 1975 - 1976 Released: 2004 These live recordings are the only available document of the legendary Brazilian 1970s Prog / Fusion band Som Nosso De Cada DiaFind albums by this artist. Following the release of their debut album SnegsFind albums by this artist in 1974, the band embarked upon intensive touring and performances, but the lack of commercial success, lack of interest from record labels, etc. (the usual hardships of 1970s Prog artists) led to internal frictions and four years after the band was formed it disbanded and disappeared from the scene. The band recorded their 2nd legendary album AmazôniaFind albums by this artist in 1975, which was picked by CBSFind albums on this label Brazil, but released only two years as Som NossoFind albums with this title with intensive overdubs and remix, completely changing the original masterpiece into a commercial funk album. These live recordings present the group in its full glory playing their great material, including the full original version of the “Amazônia” suite. Most of the tracks are extensive instrumental improvisations, mostly over 10 minutes long and one over 17 minutes long, which show the virtuosity of the players. The double keyboards line and exceptional spacey lead guitar offer endless peaks of energy floating somewhere between early Pink FloydFind albums by this artist and Weather ReportFind albums by this artist. This is fantastic music and in spite of the technical flaws of the recording every fan of good music should be grateful this is available for us to enjoy. Most warmly recommended!
