Review by Warthur
PROG REVIEWER

The prog world was robbed of one of its most overlooked talents when Marco Ant�nio Ara�jo died in early 1986, not least because his final album - Lucas - shows such an incredible musical growth. The crown jewel of the album is the side-long epic Lembran�as, a rowdy composition which shows more drama and flair that suggested by the more tranquil album that preceded this (Entre Um Silencio E Outro), but the second side has a few gems too, with Ara�jo's Anthony Phillips-like classical guitar skills on display just as much as his skills as a band leader and composer. The album concludes with a number dedicated to Jimmy Page, though only the folkiest Led Zeppelin moments are called on here. If this is to be Ara�jo's monument, it's certainly one to be proud of.

5 stars Its my first review of Marco Antonio Araujo and its actually quite strange begin with this album, since my favorite is "Influencias". I guess that begning with the end still has some magic. MAA is the kind of musician still pretty much unknown in Brazil, he died when he was getting some attention ... (read more)
