This is one of those cd's that I though might sound interesting and it does, but it's just not quite the kind of music that either I find interesting or fall in love with. Still was enjoyable to listen to just to try something new. Besides the artwork is quirky & eccentric.

THE BEST CD RECORDED ANYWHERE IN THE 90'S

"THIS ALBUM IS THE BEST DEFINITION OF GREAT POP MUSIC THAT I'VE HEARD. IT INCLUDES: A)AN EXCERPT FROM GALAXIAS(BRAZILIAN LITERATURE COUSIN TO JOYCE'S FINNEGANS WAKE), WHICH DEALS WITH THE ROUNDER OF FLOWERS('CIRCULADO') B)A POLITICAL SONG ABOUT THE NEW WORLD ORDER BEING OUT OF ORDER ('O CU DO MUNDO', ROUGHLY THE ASS OF THE WORLD) C)A COMPLEX RETELLING OF THE CLASSIC HORROR STORY A TERCERA MARGEN DO RIO, THAT'S EVEN BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. D)A SONG TO WELCOME BABIES INTO THE WORLD ('BOAS VINDAS'), AND SO MANY MORE GREAT TRACKS... SO, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY THIS RECORD IT WILL CHANGE YOUR OPINIONS ABOUT POP MUSIC"

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

"This is really a gem in Caetano's entire collection. It is similar in feel to Estrangeiro, obviously due to Arto Lindsay's role on both albums. I think this one is stronger altogether, with a beautiful blend of Caetano's various abilities. What makes this album so great is how daring it is. This may have been the one album where Caetano relied the least on familiar samba and bossa nova influences to carry the album through. Spend a lot of time with Circulado, because it may seem a bit scattered at first, but you will later realize what Caetano was trying to accomplish here. Undoubtedly one of his very best."
