Angelus

One of two best Milton's albums. Do you know Geraes? They are amazing as Clube da Esquina II. But sound more Milton himself.

Not one of his best but a wonderful collection of tropical' tunes.

thank you.

excellent thanks!!

This album has been out for 18 years. I bought it in 1995, but it took 17 years for it to hit me how great it really is. I've loved Brazilian music for many years, but because of it's myriad influences, this wouldn't fall into that category easily. The guest artists include Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Pat Metheny, James Taylor, and others, not to mention the Beatles (in absentia). An amazing array of colors permeate this 70 minute masterpiece. Particular highlights for me were Veracruz and Southern Cross. Word of advice: if you own it, don't sell it before giving it years to grow in you. Sit still and listen!

I love Milton Nascimento's early work ("Travessia" and "Clube Da Esquina"), but this does not reach that level by far. My main objection is that it does not live up to the promise delivered by the famous names of the participants like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Pat Metheny a.o. "Vera Cruz" is OK, but the rest is just too pretentious. Just as a warning to all Brazilian music lovers out there: this is certainly not a must have, apart from die hard Milton fans. I would rather recommend to check out the latest releases by fellow Brazilian Caetano Veloso ("Livro" and "Prenda Minha"), because they are really indispensable!
