Onde, Quando, Como, Porquê Cantamos Pessoas Vivas (1975)
This opus from the Portuguese group
Quarteto 1111 would have fit perfectly in the middle of the 1973 Italian
progressive rock movement. Mellotron galore with dramatic vocals that
would make a band like Celeste, Premiata Forneria Marconi, or Quella
Vecchia Locanda proud. In fact, this album has more mellotron than any
other album I can think of (really)! And the melodies are sublime, a
rare certain sound that is hard to write about,
but no one creates music like this anymore, that's for sure. Wonderful
synthesizer and electric guitar soloing as well. Unfortunately a very
short album that doesn't quite hit the 30 minute mark. I love stuff like
this.
