Recruiting three other musicians, they recorded 3 albums between 1974 and 1977; a compilation disk was also released in 2000. Their material is mostly heavy, bluesy hard rock with complex arrangements and thick guitar leads. The vocals are in Portuguese.

Their debut and self-titled album, released in 1974, is plain old hard rock. Their second, "Lar de Maravilhas" (1975), however, is considered a national prog classic. Donning a slick production, it incorporates the intensity of the first album with more sophisticated elements such as stronger melodies, better arrangements and an emphasis on spacious, multi-layered symphonic keyboards (particularly the synths). It is a strange collection of tunes in that it ranges from superb symphonic flights to some very banal pieces. Their third album, "Casa de Rock" (1976), reverts to their more primitive hard rock style, featuring two drummers and no more spacey keyboards. The compilation cd "Perolas" is made up of 16 tracks taken from the second and third albums (tapes of the first are lost forever).

Liberdade espacial
Casa das Máquinas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sinta a liberdade espacial
Vinda de uma lua astral
Força espiritual

Faça o que sentir
Não deixe o tempo fugir
Da sua mente toca oriental

Nada que for verdade sua
Procure desfazer-se pra sempre
E que os mares do sul
Lamente, tente ou brindar ou amar

Não se apegue a formas materiais
Não se perca na fumaça, nunca o que é de massa
Vá vivendo nesse curto tempo
Como o passo de um vento
Rumo a lua astral (astral...)

Faça o que você sentir
Porque nossa missão é viver (viver...)
Não entre numa em só de existir
Deixar de ser apenas você

Uuuh, uuuh, uuuh, uuuuuh
Uuuh, uuuh, uuuh, uuuuuh

Uuuh, uuuh, uuuh, uuuuuh
