The only self-released album in 1992 by SSW Claudio Mourão from Minas Gerais. Like other musicians of the Minas, he appears to have been connected with "Clube da Esquina" but most of the details are still unknown. Produced by Juarez Moreira, a key figure in Minas, and backed by Ivan Corrêa, André Dequech, Roberto Zara, and other talented musicians. The contents include from "A Era De Aquário" and "Os Mistérios Da Paixão" which are descented from electric acoustic sounds such as Edson Natale, to ”Cuma-É”, "Anjo", "Imagem" which has a floating feeling, nostalgia, and wet texture typical of the land of Minas, and Brazilian AOR number "Pala", "As Sete Cores Do Arco-Íris" composed of various rhythms. It's rich in variety and also has first-rate quality.
ミナスジェライス州出身のSSW Cláudio Mourãoが92年に残した唯一となる自主制作盤。いわゆるミナス派の他のミュージシャン同様に"Clube da Esquina"と繋がりがあった人物のようですが詳細は未だに多くが不明。プロデュースをミナスの要人Juarez Moreiraが手掛け、Ivan Corrêa, André Dequech, Roberto Zaraなどの実力派がバックを務めています。内容的にはEdson Nataleなど音響派の流れを汲むような”A Era De Aquário”, "Os Mistérios Da Paixão"からミナスの地らしい浮遊感、郷愁、ウエットな質感を持った”Cuma-É”, "Anjo", "Imagem"、多様なリズムで構成されるブラジリアンAORナンバー”Pala”, "As Sete Cores Do Arco-Íris"までバラエティに富みながら一級のクオリティを備えています。今まで見過ごされてきたのが不思議な位の作品だと思います。近年注目されているタイトルのひとつ。アートワークはDharanaやEdson Nataleの作品なども手掛けるFernando Fiúzaが担当。
