Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into wordless vocalizing on tracks where the military dictatorship censored the lyrics, turning silence into a weapon.
The explosive orchestral swell in 'Hoje e dia de El Rey' that pushes the boundaries of traditional Brazilian song structure.
The way Milton's falsetto mimics a flute or a bird in 'Tema dos deuses', blurring the line between human and instrument.
