3 stars This Brasilian five piece formation turned out to be a one shot band with their album Breve E Interminavel from 1996. The entire album has obvious King Crimson hints (both Red as Discipline era): a repetetive, often biting guitar sound, a propulsive rhythm- section (powerful drums beats) and many fiery soli from the two guitar players. Along these symphonic rock dinosaur influences you can also enjoy typical South-American elements like the swinging percussion. The bass play is quite jazzy, like some work on the piano ( a solo in Cellula Matter). One of the few mellow parts is Crisalida: acoustic guitar, soft guitar work with volume-pedal, followed by a nice duet from the acoustic - and electric guitars. The best tracks are Mosaico (sweeping featuring fiery electric guitar, great rhythm guitar and a dynamic rhythm-section) and Bebop Blues (pleasant buzzing bass and jazzy piano), if you like King Crimson and jazzrock this (mainly instrumental) album is a fine experience.
