I am not super familiar with Brazilian music (though this album falls under the Tropicalia sub-genre) but I found this introduction through Caetano Veloso unsurprisingly pleasant. The main thing I noticed is that there is no distinct sound present here, the songs shift sounds constantly, like going from being psychedelic to baroque-influenced to jazz at the drop of a dime, while still maintaining a South American touch to it all. I loved the multi-phased, ominously romantic 'Clarice'. The strings that kick off 'Palsagem Util' are utterly gorgeous - this song has easily the lushest composition here. There's something so fuzzy and surreal about the mixing on this album as well that I can't quite put a finger on. As for the vocals, I couldn't understand much but Caetano proves to be a charismatic (and talented) singer as displayed on songs like 'Tropicalia' and 'Superbacana'. Greatly enjoyed my time with this - it's quite the disorienting experience at times though I'd say it generally works in this album's favour.
