Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Fernando Machado Soares on ‘A Ilha E Sonho’. While no new Fernando Machado Soares album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1994 tour in North America. On the Brazil charts, superstar Fernando Machado Soares’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Oh yes, this album gets Array out of Array
This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Elegia which is my favorite is a truly Fernando Machado Soares sounding song. Some call Santa Luzia from The Fado Of Coimbra as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Voice and instruments in Variations In A Minor complement each other. Teu Nome defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Don’t judge Balada Para Uma Vida on the first listening. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Balada De Outono gives taste of what makes Fernando Machado Soares special as a musician. From the moment you listen to Cancao De Alcipe you’re hooked. I like Trova Du Vento Que Passa because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. This track is just a stunning masterpiece.
