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).

Vale verde
Casa das Máquinas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sombras, cinzas, impurezas desse ar
Olho o céu e o vejo mais escuro
Quero vê-lo brilhar
Como os raios coloridos deste Sol
Essa liberdade que nunca chega
De portas trancadas, preciso sair
Pensando em poder achar um mundo assim
Com flores astrais ao redor de mim
Quero um vale verde pra que eu possa respirar enfim
The lyrics of "Vale Verde" by Casa Das Máquinas describes the singer's desire for a world free from pollution and darkness. They don't want the shadows, ashes, and impurities of the air to reflect on their face anymore. They look up at the sky and see it darker than usual. The singer wishes to see it shine again, just like the colorful rays of the sun. The longing for a more vibrant and positive environment is emphasized in this part of the song.
The second part of the song talks about the singer's yearning for freedom. They feel trapped inside with doors that are locked. The singer wants to explore the world outside and take the first step towards true liberation. They want to sit in a garden and imagine a world filled with astral flowers around them. The whole idea of a green valley portrays the singer's need for freshness, purity, and breathing space. The lush greenery represents a world full of possibilities.
Overall, "Vale Verde" by Casa Das Máquinas is about escaping from the harsh effects of pollution and unlocking the possibilities of a more positive and green world. It is a song about seeking freedom and finding solace in nature's embrace.
