    Distinctly mediocre. A somewhat insipid recording of uninspiring latin flavoured grooves. The highlight of the album is easily Montreal City with its funky Moog bass line and smooth electric piano solo/lead lines.

    Periscópio lives up to the hype to a certain degree but becomes repetitive and tiresome with the awkward change-up in tempo and disted timing of the musicians.

    Overall an obscenely overrated record. So happy I got top dollar for my original copy.

      The Single alone that is called Manha is wonderful - If you just had limited time to listen to one track on this album - Please listen to the track called "Manha" - you will not regret it.

        This is probably the coooolest and warmest record ever recorded in Brazil. Certainly there are other great records, but this is one of the greatest. A pure pleasure and ... that's just, like, my opinion, man! Cheers

          quite possibly the greatest thing to be printed on vinyl...
          maybe not...but this album goes deep.
          classic all the way.
