"A showcase of this man's many facets at this point in time. Had a little bit of everything, some Frippertronics, some King crimson style music pieces and even a potential hit with Darryl Hall of Hall & Oates on lead vocals (You Burn me Up I'm a Cigarette)." Reply

"Another album by Caetano with A Outra Banda da Terra, released during a period he describes as the best of his life. Some of the songs are pop-orientend, but most are folkier. A few hits/classics here: "Lua De São Jorge", "Beleza Pura", "Menino do Rio" (theme of a feature film with the same name)..." [+] Reply
"It's a quite lame album from the Journey and does not have too many good songs on it. This kind of AOR stuff is suitable for adult radio stations but I guess these songs do not get much air time. Forgettable.." Reply

"Bruford takes his already outstanding prog drumming and cranks it up a notch and creates one of the all time great fusion albums, right up there with the likes of Billy Cobham, Alphonse Mouzon, and Williams." Reply
