      What about the latest trilogy of Racional 1-3 releases? Anyone know the pressing quality, they look like official releases not bootlegs/unofficial?

            Rational culture is the standout track but there's an invisible bop at the end of it on the Sermoa reprints ... invisible but very audible.

              Tim Maia gives, without a doubt, some of his best vocal performances in this album. The story behind it is also mesmerizing and interesting, of how he founded the Seroma label just is order to publish the album after buying back his own master tapes from RCA, who refused to put it out. The sudden change in subject matter, that stemmed from him ing a new age cult at the time, was jarring for audiences, leading to relatively poor sales at the time of its release, however, the sobriety imposed by the cult leaders onto Maia, and consequently imposed by him onto his band, contributed to some of his best vocals yet and a more thought through, soulful musicality. After his disillusionment with the cult’s leader Tim pulled the album from circulation, giving the first pressing a little bit of a rarity edge. It gained a kind of “cult” appreciation not only in Brazil but worldwide, now being regarded as one of his best albums for the tight funk edge and absolutely immaculate vocals it presents.

                i havent actually listened to this despite being aware of it for a few a years.
                always drawn by the sleeve art and its referencing of platonic philosophy, the rational (natural) mind and the cycle of generation.
                i am intrigued if this is expressed through the music, if this is the case it would be a very profound recording
